141
00:15:28.830 --> 00:15:29.820

Pacific.

143
00:15:32.250 --> 00:15:32.730
Adrian Acosta: For.

144
00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:49.770
Adrian Acosta: continues to lead the city and violent crime reduction we're currently at a 13.7% reduction in violent crime and that's something that we always want to strive for, especially going into the summer months wanting to create a safe.

145
00:15:51.480 --> 00:16:03.870
Adrian Acosta: safe area for the return of tourism, especially now that hopefully it continues to bring more people out we're currently experiencing a slight increase in property crimes.

146
00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:04.080
or.

147
00:16:05.430 --> 00:16:13.350
Adrian Acosta: But we're right in the middle of the pack as far as ranking still so we're doing pretty good an overall we are.

148
00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:26.970
Adrian Acosta: Pretty flat in the numbers as far as part one crimes, but overall it's going to be a combination of the two for my area and monique's obviously good terraces area she's currently at.

149
00:16:27.990 --> 00:16:40.680
Adrian Acosta: 10.3% reduction overall in Part one crimes, and that includes a 24% reduction in violent crimes and a 4.6% reduction in property crimes.

150
00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:50.490
Adrian Acosta: My area which is basically east of Abbot kinney currently as a 13.7% increase on the surface, that does not look good, however.

151
00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:03.750
Adrian Acosta: Violent Crime is down 23.8% what's driving my property crime numbers is a big spike in burglaries and we started off the year with a series of burglaries along Abbot kinney mostly eating.

152
00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:15.960
Adrian Acosta: restaurants and those burglaries actually extended into Santa Monica want to thank Sam when a competing for making the year rest and once that was done a lot of those burglaries stopped so some things that are going on.

153
00:17:17.040 --> 00:17:18.450
Adrian Acosta: In the area we had.

154
00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:31.380
Adrian Acosta: And I was out there for it first Friday on may six it was a successful event dates to Lisa James and her staff are promoting a fantastic event and bringing.

155
00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:45.660
Adrian Acosta: So many people out i'm happy to say, from an lapd perspective that there were no incidents that involve police, there were no arrest and no citation so it was a great crowd and we'd like to see that continue through the summer.

156
00:17:46.770 --> 00:17:56.490
Adrian Acosta: This week, if you've been down by the Windward circle you've noticed that the street is closed Christian Dior is doing a fashion show or fashion week.

157
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:03.360
Adrian Acosta: And that's going to culminate with an event on Thursday Thursday evening, I think it kicks off about seven or 8pm.

158
00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:12.840
Adrian Acosta: There will be plenty of police President presence, as well as plenty of Christians your security personnel on hand as we met with them today, but it.

159
00:18:13.530 --> 00:18:19.890
Adrian Acosta: promises to be a really big and really fun So if you are in the area definitely stop by and check that out.

410
00:49:16.350 --> 00:49:28.830
Robin: i'll start off by well you've heard a little bit already from Isabella Dennis that the pagodas are going to be restored and Jim rob I personally emailed you.

411
00:49:29.250 --> 00:49:41.220
Robin: Before we ever brought this up, and I want to again invite you to help us out with this and that's true for everybody on the dnc as well as in the Community.

412
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:52.980
Robin: If there's any project that we haven't reached out to you please contact us but Jim I did try to email you so I don't know why it didn't go through it's happened, though with others, so.

413
00:49:53.550 --> 00:49:54.870
Robin: I hope it wasn't working.

414
00:49:55.470 --> 00:49:58.470
james murez: Well, hold on hold on hold on hold on.

415
00:49:58.530 --> 00:49:58.920
Robin: So.

416
00:49:58.980 --> 00:50:04.320
james murez: Let me just go ahead and wait, let me interrupt you Robin the way that you're new to this the way that this works.

417
00:50:05.160 --> 00:50:14.340
james murez: The committee's need to have joint meetings when there are issues that cross boundaries and and if you're talking about the pagodas.

418
00:50:14.640 --> 00:50:24.390
james murez: They would be considered historic preservation if that's what you want to you know quite coin, the the the items as but at the same time.

419
00:50:25.380 --> 00:50:33.720
james murez: They also cross over to the ocean front walk committee so it's your responsibility to make sure you have some sort of joint meeting with the ocean front walk me.

420
00:50:35.130 --> 00:50:47.940
Robin: Okay, that sounds excellent so again, I did reach out to gym before to gym rob before we ever started at um but also what has happened is so the motion that we put through that you all did pass.

421
00:50:49.230 --> 00:50:54.120
Robin: We haven't seen that the letter got sent out but we went ahead and sent it to reckon parks.

422
00:50:54.480 --> 00:51:09.390
Robin: And just today, we got a letter back from Sonia young humanists, who is the record parks REP on this who invited us and, again, Jim rob and anybody else to meet with her specifically so that they can.

423
00:51:10.170 --> 00:51:18.960
Robin: Do the restoration and keeping with the historic integrity, so I think this is awesome that we're you know, making a difference.

424
00:51:18.990 --> 00:51:21.270
james murez: So let me interrupt you again.

425
00:51:22.680 --> 00:51:29.370
james murez: you're new to this you're new to the committee you're new to co chairing a committee committees don't send out letters.

426
00:51:30.060 --> 00:51:30.300
james murez: They.

427
00:51:30.330 --> 00:51:35.100
james murez: They can send out a letter as individuals they can't send out a letter representing the board's position.

428
00:51:35.610 --> 00:51:44.640
james murez: The letters have to come from the board, they have to be approved, first by the board, and then they get signed by me and then it gets sent out by whoever it is that submitting it.

429
00:51:44.940 --> 00:51:52.950
james murez: And that's true for all committees, the Committee writes the letter and submits it to me for signature and I then return it to you and.

430
00:51:53.460 --> 00:52:10.200
james murez: Our Secretary Melissa always gets a copy of it because she's responsible to keep track of the permanent records so in the future, please make sure you do not send out letters to people like reckon parks, without first going through proper procedures Okay, thank you good report.

431
00:52:11.130 --> 00:52:28.140
Robin: Wait a minute I have a couple other things to say, and I kind of misspoke because I don't think we didn't send out an official letter and we are still hoping that the official letter is being sent by the board as the motion asked for, and we did send follow up.

432
00:52:28.170 --> 00:52:33.240
james murez: request to Melissa look look we'll do this offline Robin let's let's move forward.

452
00:54:12.780 --> 00:54:21.540
james murez: OK, and now the Presidents report I don't have much to report, I would like to say that we would like to schedule a.

453
00:54:22.770 --> 00:54:23.400
james murez: Another.

454
00:54:24.780 --> 00:54:30.840
james murez: Budget and Finance Committee meeting before the end of the month, and also another board meeting.

455
00:54:32.010 --> 00:54:42.750
james murez: Before the end of the month as well, and the question is whether or not people would be able to show up, so we have two more Tuesdays one of them.

456
00:54:43.470 --> 00:54:48.150
james murez: Is next week and then one of them is the following week, which is the last day of the month.

457
00:54:48.660 --> 00:54:54.240
james murez: And the reason that i'm asking people for this now is because there were several items that we didn't get to.

458
00:54:54.540 --> 00:55:05.490
james murez: In the Budget Committee and I just would like a quick show of hands if we could, so we know where we're going going forward and then, when we get to the to the budget items we can talk more about them, but would people.

459
00:55:05.940 --> 00:55:15.030
james murez: First, on the Budget Committee would they be available on the 24th and you know if you're on the Budget Committee, I know I would be available on the 24th.

460
00:55:17.010 --> 00:55:19.620
james murez: Andre are you saying you are, by putting your hand up yes.

461
00:55:21.510 --> 00:55:22.950
james murez: you're saying yes seem, are you.

462
00:55:26.520 --> 00:55:28.800
james murez: We can't hear you Sema Yes, you are okay.

463
00:55:30.090 --> 00:55:36.000
james murez: Who else is on the committee, I know Ivan is and I talked to him earlier, he said he would be available.

464
00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:40.800
vicki halliday: Who else is on there, we have a homeless committee meeting and i'm not going to move it because we have a speaker.

465
00:55:41.220 --> 00:55:41.730
Okay.

466
00:55:43.860 --> 00:55:47.430
james murez: Well, we might be able to do it early in the evening I don't know what time does what time is your meeting.

467
00:55:47.430 --> 00:55:48.690
vicki halliday: at seven.

468
00:55:48.870 --> 00:55:50.760
james murez: So if we had like a five o'clock meeting.

469
00:55:52.350 --> 00:55:58.320
james murez: That would give us two hours to get through the last three items, I think, who else is on that committee, I don't remember.

470
00:55:58.530 --> 00:56:02.040
Daffodil Tyminski: A daffodil is on that committee, I raised my hand i'll be available.

471
00:56:02.310 --> 00:56:03.840
james murez: Okay um.

472
00:56:05.490 --> 00:56:20.430
james murez: I guess that's probably enough that would give us a quorum okay great so let's plan on that for the 24th and then and then can everybody, I mean it would only work if we can have also a board meeting before the the end of the day, on the 31st.

473
00:56:22.590 --> 00:56:23.880
james murez: And so that would be.

476
00:56:38.010 --> 00:56:49.170
james murez: So how much time do we need for after a Budget Committee meeting, and we have a board meeting I mean we could do the board meeting the following day if we wanted to.

477
00:56:49.590 --> 00:56:53.400
Andrea Boccaletti: It would have to be the following day, if you want to have enough time to send these things into the city.

478
00:56:53.430 --> 00:56:59.730

01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:34.440
Alex Zech: But we have been our school does typically raise a good portion of money this year, we have seen a huge decrease in our raising ability and we've only raised about half of our goal, which is a huge impact on our Community, I know that I think our zip code sometimes can.

539
01:02:36.120 --> 01:02:43.410
Alex Zech: seem to think that we have all the money in the world, but we don't we're still in La USD school, we are still very publicly funded.

540
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:50.610
Alex Zech: By me privately funded by parents involvement, we.

01:03:12.390 --> 01:03:18.510
Helen Fallon: The Orange officer seaman the communications officer vicki both said that they're not responsible for maintaining the site.

549
01:03:19.020 --> 01:03:31.920
Helen Fallon: The dnc is paying hundreds of dollars each year month to web corner to fix any problems that are brought to their attention so apparently weren't getting our money's worth and I like to know just, who is now.

589
01:08:34.110 --> 01:08:41.610
Erica Moore: One is I think it's really weird that the social justice committee is not listed on the list of committees, and I also think it's.

590
01:08:42.270 --> 01:08:56.280
Erica Moore: kind of strange and it's taken two months to find out who's going to chair that and I don't understand why the person who brought that Community forward and fought so hard to make it exists is not one of those people who's on that and I thought that Jason was.

591
01:08:57.330 --> 01:09:01.650
Erica Moore: going to be the other co chair so i'm a little confused about that, I mean that was talked about during a meeting.

592
01:09:02.160 --> 01:09:06.720
Erica Moore: Also, I do have some concerns about why the secretary is not present on screen.

593
01:09:07.080 --> 01:09:13.680
Erica Moore: And is not performing the duties of the secretary, it seems that Mr your ads carrying a lot of that weight, which doesn't make sense to me.

594
01:09:14.040 --> 01:09:20.220
Erica Moore: and also the outreach Committee I don't know why we only have one day a week for several hours at a farmers market.

595
01:09:20.430 --> 01:09:29.760
Erica Moore: For outreach and that person has not been showing up regularly we need another place that's for the Community that's more accessible and often I really appreciate your guys's time.

01:09:38.370 --> 01:09:52.230
Sal Paradise: Oh yes, i'm just looking at the agenda on the dnc website and i'm seeing items 10 through 14 as just being placeholders so i'm assuming there's going to be no discussion of any items for those if not.

600
01:09:52.620 --> 01:09:57.090
Sal Paradise: If there's items to be discussed, can we see an updated agenda published.

robertthibodeau: As Chair parking transportation we we voted to support that and then it was followed up by the dnc that was some probably year and a half or two years ago.

641
01:13:31.320 --> 01:13:34.950
james murez: yeah it was it was like early on, because it was, maybe even before Kovac.

643
01:13:41.940 --> 01:13:56.070
robertthibodeau: The design of the fast forward in that they are doing construction on Lincoln boulevard anyway, and as long as they're doing construction on Lincoln boulevard we've got some what you would call like friendly suggestions to make it prettier.

654
01:14:47.220 --> 01:14:47.970
Daffodil Tyminski: Here we.

655
01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:49.080

james murez: Do you want to share your screen or.

657
01:14:52.770 --> 01:14:56.190

658
01:14:58.350 --> 01:14:59.010
james murez: you're muted.

659
01:15:00.420 --> 01:15:03.300
Evan Corrigan: I think you can share your can you can you talk through it.

660
01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:04.380
james murez: Okay, give me.

661
01:15:04.410 --> 01:15:06.720
robertthibodeau: Seven, you might have two speakers on.

662
01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:10.680
robertthibodeau: you've got an ECHO okay.

663
01:15:14.310 --> 01:15:15.360
Evan Corrigan: Do I still have an ECHO.

664
01:15:15.690 --> 01:15:16.080
nope.

665
01:15:17.370 --> 01:15:27.120
Evan Corrigan: Okay, great so as Robert mentioned the city has been working on a plan for Lincoln boulevard for quite some time.

666
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:33.810
Evan Corrigan: And that involves installing basically repaving it.

667
01:15:35.010 --> 01:15:40.290
Evan Corrigan: and installing some bus only lanes, to be used at specific rush hour times.

668
01:15:41.850 --> 01:15:44.880
Evan Corrigan: And they're like kind of combo parking bus lanes.

669
01:15:45.990 --> 01:15:48.570
Evan Corrigan: I think that run.

670
01:15:50.220 --> 01:15:55.710
Evan Corrigan: not sure the exact times don't have it, but anyway, our suggestions to kind of mitigate.

671
01:15:57.930 --> 01:16:09.990
Evan Corrigan: The loss of parking on one side, while that bustling is, in fact, is to meter the first few spots on the side streets that are very close to the businesses.

672
01:16:10.650 --> 01:16:24.780
Evan Corrigan: And then, our other suggestion is to kind of go through and improve the sidewalk to make sure that you know people can also walk the Lincoln boulevard you know make those short trips and not have to drive.

673
01:16:25.830 --> 01:16:27.390
Evan Corrigan: kind of increase the.

674
01:16:28.440 --> 01:16:40.080
Evan Corrigan: scale of the street, bringing some green elements, so people drive that reasonable speeds and no trees, just to make it a better experience for everybody.

675
01:16:40.590 --> 01:16:59.460
Evan Corrigan: And this this opportunity during caltrans handoff of that one mile section of Lincoln boulevard to the city provides us, I think you know it could be a very good time to kind of make some of those aesthetic and green improvements to Lincoln boulevard.

676
01:17:02.160 --> 01:17:08.070
Evan Corrigan: So some of the benefits of just went over of including you know green architecture, increasing safety.

677
01:17:09.330 --> 01:17:16.350
Evan Corrigan: The barrier between the sidewalk and the street, promoting walkability through you know better shade.

678
01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:29.340
Evan Corrigan: Reduced he can be very hot and I boulevard and then other environmental things like crease habitat permeability and then one big thing is just decreasing commuter stress.

679
01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:40.140
Evan Corrigan: Because, as it is you know it's a big big concrete street, and we think you know, this could kind of bring the experience for everybody down a human scale.

680
01:17:43.140 --> 01:17:55.080
Evan Corrigan: If you go to the next slide Okay, so this is a mood Board of some other green medians and green kind of curb cut sidewalk planters that the city has done.

681
01:17:56.280 --> 01:18:02.850
Evan Corrigan: Throughout la this is kind of a mood Board of potentially what we like to see.

682
01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:07.740
Evan Corrigan: You next slide.

683
01:18:09.240 --> 01:18:23.250
Evan Corrigan: This is the map of that one mile stretch between Commonwealth and the seal on Lincoln boulevard city has been working on that link and fast forward plan, which includes the bus only lanes.

684
01:18:24.780 --> 01:18:28.440
Evan Corrigan: I think 97 am to 9am southbound.

685
01:18:30.570 --> 01:18:36.720
Evan Corrigan: 7am to 9am northbound at 4pm to 7pm southbound.

686
01:18:40.800 --> 01:18:59.790
Evan Corrigan: So along that route we've identified areas where trees can be planted in existing curb cuts and tree planters that either have dead trees or stumps and then also a lot of new locations where trees could be added as well, and the other thing.

687
01:19:01.320 --> 01:19:14.430
Evan Corrigan: That could be potentially you know make make the street very pretty is adding in the Center medians right now there's kind of a Center turn laying down the length of Lincoln boulevard.

688
01:19:15.480 --> 01:19:20.190
Evan Corrigan: And some of it's just a little bit redundant so taking back some of that space for greenery.

689
01:19:21.780 --> 01:19:25.650
Evan Corrigan: could be a great way to kind of make the boulevard.

690
01:19:26.790 --> 01:19:27.690
Evan Corrigan: Better experience.

691
01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:40.320
Evan Corrigan: You continue to scroll down this is just identifying all those potential locations for trees and there's a lot of them, as well as those green green medians.

692
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:50.430
Evan Corrigan: You could just yeah keep going down these.

693
01:19:52.500 --> 01:19:53.880
Sima Kostovetsky: paths text.

694
01:20:02.310 --> 01:20:05.820
Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know what you're talking about stuff at all, but we can save it for later.

695
01:20:10.410 --> 01:20:28.920
Evan Corrigan: cool so that's the green architecture side of things you'd like to kind of start that conversation with the city of could this potentially be done during this process of repaving the street, the second so as mentioned those bus only lanes.

696
01:20:30.330 --> 01:20:43.230
Evan Corrigan: They do operate only southbound a northbound during the rush hour times so it's either one or the other, when they're not operating they'll be open for parking.

697
01:20:44.490 --> 01:20:48.660
Evan Corrigan: But to further mitigate some of that parking access.

698
01:20:50.040 --> 01:20:52.740
Evan Corrigan: We talked about potentially side metering.

699
01:20:54.000 --> 01:21:04.500
Evan Corrigan: Side street meter, so ensuring that those first two or three spaces off Lincoln boulevard are available to those local businesses.

700
01:21:05.160 --> 01:21:09.900
Evan Corrigan: An idea behind that is is just keep those parking spaces as close to Lincoln as possible.

701
01:21:10.860 --> 01:21:24.690
Evan Corrigan: Ensuring you know that people aren't going to be, you know circling the block as much because I have a chance to park right off of linkedin and then also potential revenue for future neighborhood projects from the meters.

702
01:21:27.900 --> 01:21:33.690
Evan Corrigan: And this is just a quick map of some of those side streets that would support this plan.

703
01:21:34.830 --> 01:21:39.240
Evan Corrigan: You know, going down that one mile stretches between Commonwealth and the CEO.

704
01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:45.540
Evan Corrigan: And that's it.

705
01:21:46.530 --> 01:21:47.160
No that's great.

706
01:21:50.310 --> 01:21:54.180
james murez: Okay, so if that closes the presentation part.

707
01:21:55.350 --> 01:22:04.320
james murez: Does anybody on the committee have a question that needs to be answered as far as clarification of what we're looking at before we take public comment.

708
01:22:05.490 --> 01:22:16.590
james murez: I see there's a couple of hands up i'm not sure if the hands are more about discussion or questions about clarification of what they presented it's about discussion you got to hold on to it.

709
01:22:18.510 --> 01:22:20.160
james murez: To have a deal your hand was up first.

710
01:22:22.890 --> 01:22:24.720
james murez: def deal you're handling away but you're muted.

711
01:22:25.020 --> 01:22:26.010
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay sorry about that.

712
01:22:26.340 --> 01:22:42.090
Daffodil Tyminski: I just had a question about the side street parking and only I know you're saying just a few spaces, but my recollection is a lot of those streets going off Lincoln there east of Lincoln the houses have really small driveways and those folks really tend to park on the street.

713
01:22:43.500 --> 01:22:48.720
Daffodil Tyminski: Has anyone looked at that or talk to any of those folks about the fact they may lose the parking in front of their houses.

714
01:22:49.080 --> 01:23:01.560
robertthibodeau: That the concept is not parked in front of the residential park properties period, it would only be on that first little half stretch between Lincoln and the alley.

715
01:23:04.620 --> 01:23:18.810
robertthibodeau: adjacent to the commercial businesses so you typically have one or two spaces that are adjacent to the commercial property basically the corner spaces and that's the only we wouldn't be filtering down into the residential neighborhood at all.

716
01:23:22.110 --> 01:23:23.430
james murez: Okay, thank you um.

717
01:23:23.790 --> 01:23:25.470
james murez: see my you have your hand up, this is a.

718
01:23:25.650 --> 01:23:27.270
james murez: This is clarification only.

719
01:23:28.500 --> 01:23:31.590
Sima Kostovetsky: yeah I just was wondering, can you just repeat the hours again.

720
01:23:33.030 --> 01:23:46.860
robertthibodeau: Lincoln fast forward is plan to be seven to nine in the southbound direction, excuse me in the northbound direction seven to nine and then it's four to seven in the southbound direction.

721
01:23:47.130 --> 01:23:48.450
Sima Kostovetsky: And I think through Friday right.

722
01:23:49.470 --> 01:23:50.430
robertthibodeau: I believe so.

723
01:23:50.640 --> 01:23:51.540
james murez: Yes, that's correct.

724
01:23:51.990 --> 01:23:52.860
Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, thank you.

725
01:23:53.130 --> 01:23:56.670
james murez: uh huh and, by the way we approve that previously.

726
01:23:57.870 --> 01:23:59.220
james murez: Andrea go ahead, please.

727
01:24:00.540 --> 01:24:04.290
Andrea Boccaletti: yeah my question was my concern is about the Center dividers.

728
01:24:04.320 --> 01:24:11.220
james murez: Well, wait, if you have a weed if you have a question of clarification we're not talking about the project itself yet.

729
01:24:12.030 --> 01:24:13.170
Andrea Boccaletti: we're not talking about the project.

730
01:24:13.170 --> 01:24:18.450
james murez: Oh, not yet we'll get back to that we need to get public comment, this is just about clarification Clark, you have your hand up.

731
01:24:18.810 --> 01:24:29.460
Clark Brown: yeah this looks like a good project might my questions or does does the city and caltrans have position on it, are they going to fund it or who is going to fund it.

732
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:37.920
robertthibodeau: Right now, these are suggestions we have been in discussions with caltrans and the Council office.

733
01:24:39.870 --> 01:24:51.000
robertthibodeau: it's unclear on who would fund and what they would find we figured we'd run it up the flagpole and see if we get some traction Clark and that's kind of where we're at right now.

734
01:24:52.080 --> 01:25:05.640
james murez: Thank you okay um that ends, all of the committee questions let's go to public comment on this, I see, there are some raised hands, let me bring the time clock back up and deaf adult if you could please.

735
01:25:09.270 --> 01:25:10.740
Daffodil Tyminski: Two of our folks that are.

736
01:25:11.970 --> 01:25:18.540
Daffodil Tyminski: On the meeting as attendees not as panelists are on their phones are Melissa and Jim rob.

737
01:25:19.980 --> 01:25:21.930
Daffodil Tyminski: So they also had their hands up.

738
01:25:22.500 --> 01:25:27.120
james murez: Oh about about something i'm sorry I didn't see that.

739
01:25:27.270 --> 01:25:35.820
Daffodil Tyminski: Well, no i've tried to promote them, they just can't promote, for whatever reason, on zoom so either it's a technology issue because they're the way they've dialed in or what but.

740
01:25:37.320 --> 01:25:42.060
james murez: yeah Jim rob has his hand up TIM, this is a point of clarification, go ahead.

741
01:25:46.620 --> 01:25:47.880
james murez: Jim you're unmuted go ahead.

742
01:25:50.490 --> 01:25:52.140
Jim Robb: I said I got a question i'd be.

743
01:25:53.130 --> 01:25:59.610
james murez: Okay we'll get back to the discussion in a minute, Melissa did you say you had the issue of.

744
01:26:00.690 --> 01:26:02.520
james murez: clarification that you needed about this.

745
01:26:02.730 --> 01:26:03.930
melissa diner : Now okay.

746
01:26:04.470 --> 01:26:05.520
james murez: All right, let's move.

747
01:26:05.580 --> 01:26:07.140
james murez: let's move into public comment.

748
01:26:07.410 --> 01:26:11.010
Daffodil Tyminski: So let's go first to darryl dfa go ahead Darrell.

749
01:26:12.750 --> 01:26:13.590
Darryl DuFay: Fine, thank you.

750
01:26:15.060 --> 01:26:24.480
Darryl DuFay: Lincoln has been a problem for a year since it's graded F, in terms of the amount of traffic on it, I think anything you can do would be great.

751
01:26:25.170 --> 01:26:42.600
Darryl DuFay: My concern, would be the loss of parking spaces in terms of the commercial buildings so i'm sure you're going to turn that over to the city and they'll come back with you but anything you're going to do would be fine Thank you might be fine Thank you.

752
01:26:43.980 --> 01:26:44.700
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks Darrell.

753
01:26:46.050 --> 01:26:47.100
Daffodil Tyminski: Helen fallin go ahead.

754
01:26:51.630 --> 01:26:59.850
Helen Fallon: yeah I just want to point out that originally when this was presented the Community, it was the board bust lane without an s now we've got bus lanes in both directions.

755
01:27:00.180 --> 01:27:09.930
Helen Fallon: There will be narrowing of the street, this project is designed to benefit Santa Monica and play this to the expense of our local businesses and residents.

756
01:27:10.890 --> 01:27:21.150
Helen Fallon: Surely there won't be enough parking reading replaced by you know, putting to maybe having one or two spots on the side streets for the parking that exists, which will be removed.

757
01:27:21.750 --> 01:27:37.170
Helen Fallon: I have no idea how the statement that you're gonna they're going to decrease stress by creating a trend daily traffic jams going to work and you can't plant enough trees on these ridiculous idea of putting mediums out there and.

758
01:27:38.130 --> 01:27:54.840
Helen Fallon: You won't be able to can't plant trees to mitigate the pollution you're going to create by having all these cars stall, not to mention what about all the cut through traffic no fun and screwed up the more distant businesses, we don't need this happening in Venice to rejected.

759
01:27:56.280 --> 01:27:56.910
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you hi.

760
01:27:58.080 --> 01:28:00.270
Daffodil Tyminski: i'm Sarah waters go ahead.

761
01:28:03.930 --> 01:28:05.250
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: hi can you hear me okay.

762
01:28:05.550 --> 01:28:06.270
Daffodil Tyminski: yep yep.

763
01:28:06.450 --> 01:28:11.100
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: I i'd like to say that i'm very much in support of this project, I believe that.

764
01:28:11.550 --> 01:28:21.390
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: freeing up the length of the buses is going to make the traffic more fluid I think that's the entire what the study has shown, but the reason why i'm.

765
01:28:22.140 --> 01:28:28.770
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: supportive of it is because I do believe the green architecture plan is very much needed by Lincoln it is.

766
01:28:29.490 --> 01:28:41.160
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: Literally one of the ugliest streets in Los Angeles, which is very distressing because that affects all of us in Venice effects, of course, the Community is on either side of Venice, but it affects us most deeply.

767
01:28:41.730 --> 01:28:51.720
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: And I would like to encourage the green architecture plan to include trees in the mediums just like they have on Santa Monica boulevard in West Hollywood.

768
01:28:52.260 --> 01:29:03.870
sarahrwauters@gmail.com: The reason why is because this mitigates the pollution and the noise and the heat and we cannot plant tall trees on the sides because of the wires.

769
01:29:06.930 --> 01:29:07.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Sarah.

770
01:29:09.780 --> 01:29:17.580
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, so we have Robin miras Eric Moore and tanya compost and with tanya we're going to close public comment Robin go ahead.

771
01:29:19.080 --> 01:29:30.720
Robin: hi I just want to say this, I think this is fabulous i'm specifically regarding the islands and yeah I agree with Sarah be awesome to have trees in them to.

772
01:29:31.950 --> 01:29:45.330
Robin: greenery will make our lives much healthier and better, and I would never have imagined, you could put an island in the Center there, but it makes total sense, who needs a turning lane, the whole distance probably make it safer as well.

773
01:29:45.690 --> 01:29:54.060
Robin: Anyway, I think they've done a wonderful presentation and research and putting this together, I commend you and hope we can make it happen good work.

774
01:29:56.730 --> 01:29:59.130
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks Robin Erica more go ahead.

775
01:30:01.980 --> 01:30:07.110
Erica Moore: hi there, I just want to say that I think Ellen brought up a lot of good points, I think, Sarah brought up a lot of good points.

776
01:30:07.710 --> 01:30:13.350
Erica Moore: And even though there's they seem to be in conflict, the bottom line is I travel on Lincoln all the time I have lots of friends who have.

777
01:30:13.770 --> 01:30:21.960
Erica Moore: Businesses on Lincoln what about those preschools what how are these parents, both to drop their kids off in the morning, if there's the bus plane happen.

778
01:30:22.410 --> 01:30:28.740
Erica Moore: I think that that's a conflicting issue that needs to be looked at, I wholeheartedly disagree that they did a good.

779
01:30:29.190 --> 01:30:42.000
Erica Moore: investigation in the neighborhood about how it was going to affect the people that live off of Venice, I mean I mean off of Lincoln and I can say that because i've been attending all the meetings all along, they said they talked to maybe.

780
01:30:42.720 --> 01:30:48.900
Erica Moore: They talked it was a very low number and they did not talk to people that I know that live very close to Lincoln.

781
01:30:49.230 --> 01:30:56.250
Erica Moore: So I don't know I I love the idea of trees in the median, but I think they need to be focusing on doing that on rose.

782
01:30:56.610 --> 01:31:08.880
Erica Moore: across the whole pen more golf course situation that's where they should be doing that meeting and putting a lot of treason and if they can do it there without losing more of the lanes okay great only good but i'm concerned about that it's.

783
01:31:08.910 --> 01:31:11.730
Daffodil Tyminski: been comerica they got it thanks.

784
01:31:13.140 --> 01:31:14.670
Daffodil Tyminski: tanya compose compost go ahead.

785
01:31:16.680 --> 01:31:23.670
Tania Campos: thanks again and I love the plan I think it's really important to beautify or city and especially with green architecture.

786
01:31:24.570 --> 01:31:39.210
Tania Campos: Given that you know they could cut pollution my question for for the committee would be gave the plan as traffic flow goes does not move forward, is there a contingency plan to keep the.

787
01:31:39.510 --> 01:31:45.390
Tania Campos: plan for at least planting the trees on the sidewalks and beautifying that corridor.

788
01:31:45.780 --> 01:31:56.910
Tania Campos: And I think that that would be really important, and there are obviously lots of resources from the city to get free trees, either through the sanitation department or the fire department.

789
01:31:57.630 --> 01:32:18.360
Tania Campos: That are you know native to our area and we'd not damage the sidewalks because that's also an important consideration to have, and then the other thing is, I do agree that there is potential issues with limited parking for the businesses in the area, but thank you so much, great plan.

790
01:32:20.250 --> 01:32:23.310
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you tanya and with that action will close public comment.

791
01:32:24.000 --> 01:32:32.610
james murez: Okay let's go to committee comment now we get to discuss what we like and dislike Andre you have your hand up.

792
01:32:33.570 --> 01:32:39.600
Andrea Boccaletti: yeah my concern is the Center medians I mean have you seen how many people.

793
01:32:40.380 --> 01:32:47.550
Andrea Boccaletti: Try to make left turns and if we have Center medians that's only going to really jam up the traffic even more.

794
01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:55.590
Andrea Boccaletti: because sometimes getting to those turning lanes is hard enough, the way it is, and a lot of people just you know they shoot down illegally, but if.

795
01:32:56.100 --> 01:33:10.590
Andrea Boccaletti: If they're not even able to do that it's going to really jam up the traffic, I agree, we really need to green the sides that would be fantastic, but if this is if part of this is doing meetings in the middle, I would vote against this Thank you.

796
01:33:12.960 --> 01:33:14.100
james murez: Definitely i'll go ahead place.

797
01:33:15.540 --> 01:33:23.700
Daffodil Tyminski: um yeah I feel like I also love the idea of greening the space and the Lincoln does need work, but I sort of agree i'm not quite sure I see how this works.

798
01:33:24.810 --> 01:33:27.630
Daffodil Tyminski: The medians do get used a lot and.

799
01:33:28.860 --> 01:33:43.410
Daffodil Tyminski: Sometimes it's, the only way to navigate Lincoln frankly and then I also just concerned, it seems like we're removing a lot of parking for those businesses, and you know if we're only going to put two or three spaces on each side street I don't see how the businesses are going to function.

800
01:33:44.550 --> 01:33:49.140
Daffodil Tyminski: And maybe someone could speak to that with the plan, because I just don't know I didn't quite see it from what we saw.

801
01:33:50.070 --> 01:33:58.890
james murez: So let me just clarify this is only the greening part the removal of parking and the and the bus lanes at something that we already approved in the last board.

802
01:33:59.490 --> 01:34:14.550
james murez: And and that's something that the city's already adopted is already moving forward on the fast forward project with parking and transportation brought to us now, our committee is is a greening project that would coincide with the other work that's already going to be done.

803
01:34:17.220 --> 01:34:18.540
james murez: Robert you have your hand up go ahead.

804
01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:30.060
robertthibodeau: I was just trying to address some of the questions concerns so for Andrea and a couple of people who mentioned the Center divider things.

805
01:34:31.080 --> 01:34:39.960
robertthibodeau: What we tried to do is map the locations on Lincoln where there wasn't left in turn lane So if you if you walk and you, you check out.

806
01:34:41.490 --> 01:34:54.780
robertthibodeau: The pattern along the Center there are a lot, I agree, I take left some link and all the time, but there are areas where there is no street to turn on to for a Left and.

807
01:34:55.950 --> 01:35:09.480
robertthibodeau: We tried to locate the Center dividers only in those areas where it wouldn't affect people taking left hand turns i'm not a traffic engineer, we did the best we could on that and, again, this is a conceptual plan not.

808
01:35:11.040 --> 01:35:11.670
robertthibodeau: Not a.

809
01:35:12.720 --> 01:35:22.110
robertthibodeau: You know, not an engineered plan so give us a little bit of leeway, but that was that was the idea, and then in terms of the.

810
01:35:23.010 --> 01:35:41.910
robertthibodeau: parking the parking first of all, we didn't create this the parking and transportation Committee, I mean we created the greening portion of it, but the Lincoln fast forward is is it in my opinion, is a done deal and that's because caltrans wants it, and the city.

811
01:35:42.930 --> 01:35:54.870
robertthibodeau: wants a faster route to the airport, so I think you know Helen had a point, this is for the benefit of other communities, besides Venice unless you happen to be going to the airport from Venice.

812
01:35:57.870 --> 01:36:08.070
robertthibodeau: But it's going to happen there's not you know us saying we don't want it it's not going to make it not happen it's a done deal and it'll happen fairly soon as my understanding.

813
01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:14.370
robertthibodeau: Unless things change radically, so what we were trying to do is get the best deal that we could.

814
01:36:15.090 --> 01:36:23.820
robertthibodeau: And so, given the fact that they are going to take away our parking lanes for certain hours we were trying to mitigate that with a couple of extra spots around the corner daffodil.

815
01:36:24.330 --> 01:36:34.050
robertthibodeau: But we didn't want to encroach into the residential area, which was also other people's concerns, so we only looked at the the two parking spaces that go between.

816
01:36:34.710 --> 01:36:47.910
robertthibodeau: On the East side of Lincoln between the alley and and Lincoln boulevard that would at least give you a little bit of mitigation for businesses that are going to be affected, for instance.

817
01:36:48.390 --> 01:36:57.600
robertthibodeau: You know, like flower boy coffee shop in the morning or shorts glass in the afternoon, you know businesses that don't have a lot of onsite parking.

818
01:36:59.010 --> 01:37:06.870
robertthibodeau: And likely will be affected by this, we were trying to mitigate that a little bit for for them, I don't think that the residential neighborhoods.

819
01:37:07.440 --> 01:37:17.310
robertthibodeau: They do Park, but they park typically more in front of the houses, they don't Park, all the way down at Lincoln boulevard and and to me those spaces should be up for grabs anyways.

820
01:37:20.310 --> 01:37:34.590
robertthibodeau: The greening on the sidewalk for the lady who asked about that I think that's a great idea I do think that the the the fast forward portion of it, meaning the bus lanes is going to happen.

821
01:37:35.910 --> 01:37:39.600
robertthibodeau: And, but should it not happen, I think.

822
01:37:40.680 --> 01:37:45.330
robertthibodeau: Some sort of maintenance of the least maintenance of the existing planter boxes.

823
01:37:47.520 --> 01:38:00.240
robertthibodeau: should happen, and if fast for doesn't seem to be happening, I have already reached out to the arbor committee and invited them to our our meetings on this and will continue to do so, to try and.

824
01:38:01.590 --> 01:38:09.690
robertthibodeau: To try and improve the street there, so the those are trying to address the concerns that you guys brought up.

825
01:38:11.730 --> 01:38:13.920
james murez: Thank you, Robert NICO you have your hand up.

826
01:38:17.700 --> 01:38:18.690
james murez: NICO you have to unmute.

827
01:38:20.670 --> 01:38:21.090
Nico Ruderman: Sorry.

828
01:38:21.180 --> 01:38:24.510
Nico Ruderman: I just want to say, Robert Thank you so much for that clarification.

829
01:38:25.890 --> 01:38:32.640
Nico Ruderman: That this isn't really voting on whether or not these bus lanes are going to happen that's really just making making the best of it.

830
01:38:33.750 --> 01:38:35.430
Nico Ruderman: So yeah definitely.

831
01:38:36.480 --> 01:38:39.210
Nico Ruderman: Definitely changes how about how I feel about it, you know I mean I.

832
01:38:40.230 --> 01:38:43.830
Nico Ruderman: totally understand the concerns on the Helen and other people voice, but.

833
01:38:45.120 --> 01:38:47.970
Nico Ruderman: So what you're saying is this is this is really just.

834
01:38:49.200 --> 01:38:52.740
Nico Ruderman: Taking an existing project that is going to happen and just trying to make it better.

835
01:38:53.490 --> 01:39:12.300
robertthibodeau: yeah I mean it's similar to what Helen thinks I think in in a way they're sort of you know, taking a little piece of Venice, for you know limited hours for the sort of I guess what would be considered the greater good and we're trying to make the best of that and that's the you know.

836
01:39:13.740 --> 01:39:19.950
robertthibodeau: Also, the fact that there's construction going on anyways you know, instead of just having it be these buses zooming by.

837
01:39:20.670 --> 01:39:39.450
robertthibodeau: So they can zoom by faster, you know let's try and make it a little nicer you know and Alex had indicated that he'd support us from the counsel's office unfortunately now he's gone because of the transition there and we're trying to deal with Eric ruins but.

838
01:39:41.160 --> 01:39:43.620
robertthibodeau: anyways we're you know a little bit of.

839
01:39:44.040 --> 01:39:44.490
That so.

840
01:39:45.510 --> 01:39:47.610
Nico Ruderman: One last question for you, then the.

841
01:39:48.900 --> 01:40:01.950
Nico Ruderman: The Center median which I think if it's done correctly could actually quite beautiful, you know, my concern is there are some businesses that have parking lots that like you know I know when i'm driving to.

842
01:40:03.330 --> 01:40:10.170
Nico Ruderman: Some of the business side I turn into the parking lots and i'll in like the middle of a block with this.

843
01:40:10.620 --> 01:40:18.660
Nico Ruderman: He would, would you be looking in situations like that, where there are parking lots that are being turned into from from the middle of a block versus.

844
01:40:19.560 --> 01:40:25.470
Nico Ruderman: You know, having to figure out how to make a U turn and make a big lap around the block and making it difficult to find business if you're going the wrong direction.

845
01:40:26.430 --> 01:40:33.900
robertthibodeau: We were trying to locate things without obstructing any of the traffic flow in the obvious places could something have slipped by.

846
01:40:35.760 --> 01:40:40.920
robertthibodeau: It it's it's you know, we would need to detail this further again, this was.

847
01:40:41.580 --> 01:40:43.200
Nico Ruderman: look at this more as a separate our.

848
01:40:43.200 --> 01:40:46.440
robertthibodeau: conceptual plans or conceptual ask and.

849
01:40:47.760 --> 01:41:00.210
robertthibodeau: I don't think the idea of the median planting is is a radical one I mean we see it on Venice boulevard we see it on on you know streets in Santa Monica frequently Pico would be an example.

850
01:41:01.470 --> 01:41:04.560
robertthibodeau: I don't know if it's super successful on Pico Pico is much narrower.

851
01:41:07.110 --> 01:41:22.110
robertthibodeau: And I think it's been a nice enhancement, you know in culver city, we see it see it in Washington, you see them culver on in culver city and on covert change the vibe of the whole neighborhood when they would put some of that stuff in yeah.

852
01:41:22.560 --> 01:41:22.980
james murez: Robert.

853
01:41:23.370 --> 01:41:25.380
Nico Ruderman: me ask you a question for clarification.

854
01:41:25.680 --> 01:41:25.890
robertthibodeau: Thank.

855
01:41:25.980 --> 01:41:30.960
james murez: You can you go Robert let me ask you a question, because this is a conceptual plan.

856
01:41:32.070 --> 01:41:45.210
james murez: The city wouldn't approve your conceptual plan without coming back with a detailed design and I assume that it would come back to the parking and transportation committee isn't that right.

857
01:41:47.370 --> 01:41:50.820
robertthibodeau: I don't think the city's you know what for approval from us, for whatever they do.

858
01:41:50.850 --> 01:41:52.200
robertthibodeau: When they dig in their ear.

859
01:41:52.230 --> 01:41:55.230
james murez: When they did the speed bumps on Pacific.

860
01:41:55.500 --> 01:42:09.720
james murez: And they put in the traffic light at sunset they brought both of those projects back to the come back to the neighborhood Council because I was running the parking transportation committee at the time you see any reason why they wouldn't if we asked them to.

861
01:42:10.890 --> 01:42:12.990
robertthibodeau: I would hope that they would be engaged with us.

862
01:42:12.990 --> 01:42:26.100
robertthibodeau: Throughout this process, I mean it's it's going to be huge disruption to to all of us, even if, even if they just do what they're gonna do without even considering us it's going to be huge disruption, I would, I would like to think that they were going to communicate with us.

863
01:42:27.660 --> 01:42:37.920
robertthibodeau: From Jim rob's comments earlier that doesn't always seem to happen, but the best we can do is put it out there and hope it, you know hope we get something out of it right.

864
01:42:38.070 --> 01:42:39.750
james murez: yeah well done it so we don't say.

865
01:42:39.900 --> 01:42:42.690
robertthibodeau: Marketing I know what we're gonna get we're gonna get bus lanes and nothing.

866
01:42:42.810 --> 01:42:52.650
james murez: Right right and they've done it so far with fast forward that they brought all of the fast forward project to us as they've continued to go through the process so they're definitely engaged with us as a Community.

867
01:42:53.040 --> 01:42:54.900
james murez: They happen on this project so.

868
01:42:54.930 --> 01:43:07.530
robertthibodeau: And they did notice, you know people were commenting that things weren't noticed, but they did do noticing for the fast board portion of it, and we did try and communicate through committee as well.

869
01:43:07.800 --> 01:43:16.350
james murez: No, I remember, we also ask them to go out to the Community more and get more participation and they did that and they came back and made a second presentation that.

870
01:43:16.410 --> 01:43:23.340
james murez: They did explain what they were doing so they've been very engaged so far NICO your hand is still up does that for a reason.

871
01:43:24.870 --> 01:43:28.350
james murez: Other than you haven't taken it down daffodil go ahead, your hand is up.

872
01:43:29.070 --> 01:43:40.830
Daffodil Tyminski: yeah, I just wanted to point out, I would stay on top of them, the only reason they engage with the Community on Pacific and I literally just went back in my emails to figure this out the other day is we had been on them for nine years.

873
01:43:41.430 --> 01:43:56.340
Daffodil Tyminski: As a group of like seven neighbors between those two places and they committed many, many times they would do it, and I think they finally did, but I don't know that they would have come to the dnc and engage with us that much if we hadn't been like insanely aggressive with them.

874
01:43:57.150 --> 01:44:04.590
Daffodil Tyminski: I think they'd done five or six traffic studies we've been through every deputy like they couldn't not come to the dnc at that point.

875
01:44:05.670 --> 01:44:10.410
Daffodil Tyminski: So I would be a squeaky wheel on this one, just to stay in their ears.

876
01:44:12.060 --> 01:44:18.060
james murez: Okay well if nobody else has a hand up i'm definitely sumi can put yours down let's take a vote on this.

877
01:44:19.260 --> 01:44:21.720
james murez: um let me go back to.

878
01:44:22.890 --> 01:44:23.910
james murez: The agenda.

879
01:44:25.410 --> 01:44:31.050
Andrea Boccaletti: Well i'm sorry Jim one would be a time I mean I don't know i'd like to make an alternate motion.

880
01:44:33.990 --> 01:44:34.620
james murez: Okay.

881
01:44:38.070 --> 01:44:39.300
james murez: Give me one second.

882
01:44:40.950 --> 01:44:42.540
james murez: Go ahead, what is your alternate.

883
01:44:43.020 --> 01:44:48.150
Andrea Boccaletti: Well, I mean I would be the for the approval of all of this, apart from the Center meeting.

884
01:44:49.710 --> 01:44:57.150
james murez: So you would like to see a motion say to change the presentation to not include.

885
01:44:58.980 --> 01:45:00.600
james murez: The Center media.

886
01:45:00.810 --> 01:45:02.310

891
01:45:35.280 --> 01:45:36.030

942
01:48:22.020 --> 01:48:23.190
james murez: In other words, they're on this.

943
01:48:24.930 --> 01:48:35.730
james murez: Agenda in the same order that we heard them in budget because we actually had to have two meetings in the budget, and then we ran out of time and weren't able to finish the budget and that's why.

944
01:48:37.590 --> 01:48:41.100
james murez: We have two reallocation of budget line items.

945
01:48:42.360 --> 01:48:54.690
james murez: In this list of things so everybody understands that this was the sequence that they were heard in in the Budget Committee and now we're basically hearing them here now, in the same sequence so i'm.

946
01:48:56.340 --> 01:48:59.700
james murez: Andrea do you want to go ahead and make the motion for this first one.

947
01:49:00.120 --> 01:49:00.630

948
01:49:02.070 --> 01:49:13.860
Andrea Boccaletti: The budget and Finance Committee recommends the board of officers approves the Community improvement project grant of $5,000 as described above, and in the attached project application.

949
01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:15.570
Andrea Boccaletti: Was.

950
01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:18.540

951
01:49:18.750 --> 01:49:20.640
Andrea Boccaletti: As above, I mean that's not emotion.

952
01:49:21.750 --> 01:49:21.960
Andrea Boccaletti: Okay.

953
01:49:22.290 --> 01:49:25.770
james murez: it's described above here and it's described in the attachment.

james murez: Okay um does anybody need any clarification to the motion.

958
01:49:46.080 --> 01:49:46.650
yeah.

959
01:49:48.030 --> 01:49:48.660
Ivan: emotion.

960
01:49:49.140 --> 01:49:49.650
james murez: Okay.

961
01:49:49.950 --> 01:49:59.910
Ivan: You can look at it, it says approved Community improvement project grant Community improvement projects and grants are two different things, you can.

962
01:49:59.910 --> 01:50:00.840
Ivan: write both.

963
01:50:01.050 --> 01:50:01.770
Ivan: So so.

964
01:50:01.800 --> 01:50:02.880
james murez: takes out the grant.

965
01:50:03.240 --> 01:50:10.350
Ivan: 30 minutes of Community improvement project so projects you just remove the word grant yeah.

966
01:50:10.410 --> 01:50:11.910
james murez: I just crossed it out, thank you.

967
01:50:12.030 --> 01:50:12.480
Okay.

968
01:50:13.860 --> 01:50:14.160
james murez: Now.

969
01:50:14.970 --> 01:50:15.480
james murez: Let me.

970
01:50:16.050 --> 01:50:17.400
james murez: Let me open the.

971
01:50:19.350 --> 01:50:23.640
james murez: proposal so everybody can see it and then we'll open it for public comment.

972
01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:31.200
james murez: So i'm just going to quickly scroll through this it was presented at the budget and Finance Committee it's been online for several days.

973
01:50:34.620 --> 01:50:38.100
james murez: So this is a budget to create molds.

974
01:50:39.180 --> 01:50:45.930
james murez: For the original historic colonnades, this is the piece of the top.

975
01:50:47.220 --> 01:50:57.360
james murez: Not the column itself, which is a structural part of the building above many of the buildings don't exist anymore that had these columns but it's just for this top piece up here at the top.

976
01:50:58.110 --> 01:51:09.180
james murez: To build a mold to be able to recreate those here's a close up picture of it, and when we were talking about it in the budget and Finance Committee meeting it helped to be able to look at it real close up.

977
01:51:09.900 --> 01:51:17.100
james murez: The good photo we have so as you can see there's a split line right here, where my my pointer is moving.

978
01:51:17.700 --> 01:51:22.650
james murez: And if you look closely the Center of the star right here is actually the backside of a bolt.

979
01:51:23.400 --> 01:51:28.320
james murez: And if I can scroll this sideways a little bit this is how these things are held together there's a.

980
01:51:28.740 --> 01:51:39.480
james murez: nut over, on the other side of each one of these, so the bulk goes through, and it holds these different pieces together the original ones were created as cast iron they're extremely heavy.

981
01:51:40.260 --> 01:51:50.760
james murez: One of them has been loaned to me and I have it in storage if this goes forward it'll come out of storage and they'll use the piece that I have for making a mold.

982
01:51:54.360 --> 01:51:57.480
james murez: And then scrolling down the rest of this is the budget.

983
01:51:59.220 --> 01:52:08.430
james murez: And that's it so having shown that, is there any questions about clarity about what this is about.

984
01:52:10.320 --> 01:52:16.740
james murez: First, from the committee and then let's open it up to public comment see my if you're talking I can't okay.

985
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:25.830
james murez: So I see no hands let's open this for public comment with NICO NICO has a question about something about the go ahead NICO.

986
01:52:26.490 --> 01:52:37.890
Nico Ruderman: yeah just to be clear, this is just to make a mold for now just took took preserved so it can be used later that this or this to actually find renovating these columns.

987
01:52:37.950 --> 01:52:42.780
james murez: So there's two applications that that actually.

988
01:52:42.810 --> 01:52:43.680
Nico Ruderman: look like us right.

989
01:52:43.980 --> 01:52:56.370
james murez: Let me bring it back up the first one is to make the physical mold the second one is to cast the first two parts, so they can be presented to the community into the property owners.

990
01:52:57.000 --> 01:53:01.710
james murez: will get into that second application after we're finished with this one, but the two go hand in hand.

991
01:53:02.640 --> 01:53:08.100
james murez: There is none it there is none at this time, being proposed to actually being physically installed.

992
01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:19.350
james murez: there's no there's no plan for that the, the idea is will a fiberglass piece replace the original cast iron piece in a way that that.

993
01:53:19.890 --> 01:53:26.970
james murez: it's feasible to do it at a price that's feasible to be able to make these parts when they're made out of cast iron they're extremely expensive.

994
01:53:27.270 --> 01:53:32.070
james murez: Each time, you mold one you have an investment casting that the casting the mold itself has to be.

995
01:53:32.940 --> 01:53:36.360
james murez: destroyed, to be able to get the part out of it because it's made out of cast iron.

996
01:53:36.990 --> 01:53:45.480
james murez: This is a rubber mold it's much different it's designed to be able to be reused over and over to make fiberglass parts which would be much lighter and easier to handle and.

997
01:53:46.290 --> 01:53:57.570
james murez: But, but the question is whether or not they will end up appearing, the way that they're supposed to appear if they were to be used so having said that neat did that answer your question you go.

998
01:54:01.440 --> 01:54:02.400
Nico Ruderman: Yes, it thanks.

999
01:54:02.640 --> 01:54:04.050
james murez: Thank you vicki you have your hand up.

1000
01:54:04.440 --> 01:54:25.470
vicki halliday: um yes, I read the letter this morning to the board from Louis rinus townhouse and I thought that he made a very good point in is this part of a larger plan of restoration renovation and, if so, i'm a business owners haven't had outreach.

1001
01:54:27.030 --> 01:54:28.710
vicki halliday: He said he hasn't been talked to it.

1002
01:54:29.100 --> 01:54:30.510
vicki halliday: Okay, and.

1003
01:54:30.630 --> 01:54:34.500
james murez: Is that a question, are you making a question about the presentation so far.

1004
01:54:34.860 --> 01:54:36.900
james murez: Because we'll get into that discussion later.

1005
01:54:36.990 --> 01:54:37.770
vicki halliday: Well nevermind.

1006
01:54:38.400 --> 01:54:39.150
james murez: Okay, thank you.

1007
01:54:39.780 --> 01:54:40.380
james murez: Jeff adult.

1008
01:54:40.410 --> 01:54:41.970
james murez: You have a question about the presentation.

1009
01:54:43.530 --> 01:54:44.940
james murez: can't hear you gotta gotta unmute.

1010
01:54:44.970 --> 01:54:51.660
Daffodil Tyminski: I was going to ask the same question i've had a couple people reach out saying that I hadn't been contacted there had been any outrage.

1011
01:54:52.110 --> 01:54:52.560
Daffodil Tyminski: The next.

1012
01:54:52.740 --> 01:54:55.440
james murez: question is the question was there any outreach.

1013
01:54:56.130 --> 01:55:02.970
Daffodil Tyminski: My question was we're all aware, the business owners that have these mall these these colonnades contacted because they don't they weren't.

1014
01:55:03.240 --> 01:55:17.550
james murez: I don't I don't have that answer we'll get that in a second, let me go through the rest of the hands and then we'll call on one of the people from the committee to respond to that I don't know the answer to that Sema did you have a question about the presentation.

1015
01:55:20.520 --> 01:55:26.880
Sima Kostovetsky: I had just a quick question about the amount, but I can ask when Robin is back answering questions.

1016
01:55:26.940 --> 01:55:27.450
Okay.

1017
01:55:28.650 --> 01:55:41.280
james murez: Then let's get that point of clarification, made is Dominica who's the chair of the committee or Robin, who is the Co chair or either of them in the audience stuff adult.

1018
01:55:41.760 --> 01:55:42.840
Daffodil Tyminski: Yes, robins here.

1019
01:55:43.380 --> 01:55:49.530
james murez: Okay, can we promote her to panelist or give her allowance to speak.

1020
01:55:51.300 --> 01:55:51.720
sure.

1021
01:55:53.790 --> 01:55:54.450
Daffodil Tyminski: Guy Robin.

1022
01:55:54.750 --> 01:56:05.010
james murez: Robin can you answer that one question was there any Community outreach to the property owners on Windward market or Pacific where the the columns currently exists.

1023
01:56:06.600 --> 01:56:07.410
Robin: Yes.

1024
01:56:08.700 --> 01:56:20.940
Robin: And I think that you've gotten some letters I know David hertz who owns property on market told me that he was very excited and sent the board an email telling that he's very much supportive of this.

1025
01:56:22.710 --> 01:56:31.680
Robin: I think, Jim you've mentioned you've been in touch with Tony bill Roger webster's also very supportive of this what we have.

1026
01:56:32.550 --> 01:56:42.870
Robin: Brian so the IRA who's our committee Member has spoken with some of the other property Members, I think, Brian is suffering from a stomach flu so he's not able to be here tonight, but.

1027
01:56:43.710 --> 01:56:55.920
Robin: The feedback we've gotten is they need to see you know, an indication that this can be done and, if so, there will be many of them that will want to.

1028
01:56:56.460 --> 01:57:08.400
Robin: Help out and make it happen on their properties, so the price that we have here Sema you were asking some kind of question about cost, this is a fabulous price.

1029
01:57:09.150 --> 01:57:29.910
Robin: We got estimates from two other companies, they were more like in the $24,000 range for just making a mold and just casting capitals, this is excellent and it's because we've got Venice stakeholders lonnie and Jordan dawes who have.

1030
01:57:31.380 --> 01:57:41.790
Robin: who have family and business ties with this company, they are the premier set builders in Los Angeles for Hollywood they do excellent fiberglass work.

1031
01:57:42.690 --> 01:57:54.600
Robin: It is detailed work so to make a mold and to cast these properly is you know essential, and this company I have all the confidence they know what they're doing.

1032
01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:55.920
Robin: And then they will you.

1033
01:57:56.490 --> 01:57:59.610
james murez: Thank you, Robin death so let's go to public comment.

1034
01:58:00.690 --> 01:58:04.230
Daffodil Tyminski: or i'm Nick antenna cello go ahead.

1035
01:58:06.690 --> 01:58:09.330
Nick Antonicello: he's proving that you're talking about are they.

1036
01:58:10.380 --> 01:58:17.370
Nick Antonicello: Do they have any kind of landmark status with the city number one number two what what.

1037
01:58:17.970 --> 01:58:27.900
Nick Antonicello: Why don't the owners of these properties paying for this, why what is the reason why they need funds from the city of Los Angeles do this is their property.

1038
01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:45.480
Nick Antonicello: The property will be improved and enhanced, why is the city of Los Angeles involvement, I don't quite understand that unless there's some landmark status that allows the city to invest in these properties, so that really needs to be clarified as to why this is being done, the first book.

1039
01:58:46.530 --> 01:58:47.310
Robin: Can I respond.

1040
01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:48.180
know.

1041
01:58:49.980 --> 01:58:50.430
james murez: Deaf adult.

1042
01:58:51.660 --> 01:58:53.100
Daffodil Tyminski: Gerald you say go ahead.

1043
01:58:56.850 --> 01:59:05.190
Darryl DuFay: Thank you um I looked at both of the proposals and they're really the same but they're not the same.

1044
01:59:07.110 --> 01:59:24.870
Darryl DuFay: And I also looked at two previous restorations projects and what I find is that you're asking for $10,000 $5,000 to make a mold which can be used to make 10 to 15 capitals.

1045
01:59:25.290 --> 01:59:40.140
Darryl DuFay: And then another $5,000 for two of the fiberglass ones based upon 40 columns that has mentioned that's $100,000 they have not even talked about.

1046
01:59:40.770 --> 01:59:55.410
Darryl DuFay: repairing the columns which are nine feet tall, and then it needs more information on paper to see exactly what's happening because it's confusing Thank you.

1047
01:59:57.420 --> 02:00:00.750
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks Darrell i'm Erica more go ahead.

1048
02:00:03.120 --> 02:00:08.580
Erica Moore: hi I like the idea of this project, but i'm concerned, like the last caller some of the points he made up.

1049
02:00:09.180 --> 02:00:16.740
Erica Moore: It is a concern, because I think there, it does need to be looked at, because of the columns it isn't just making these five because you know.

1050
02:00:17.070 --> 02:00:25.830
Erica Moore: I think that it has to be delved into more especially because it's such a large amount of money and I realized there's a time issue because of the budget, which is available now.

1051
02:00:26.280 --> 02:00:39.660
Erica Moore: So I would just say that I think that this possibly would have other effects that are not being considered that's what I have to say, but I do like the idea of the project, I think it'd be really nice to restore that area for sure, thank you.

1052
02:00:40.350 --> 02:00:43.920
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks Erica i'm Helen fallon go ahead.

1053
02:00:48.960 --> 02:01:00.180
Helen Fallon: I think that restoring history historical aspects of this community that render it unique those columns are a wonderful frequently photographed.

1054
02:01:01.320 --> 02:01:10.080
Helen Fallon: aspect invest and really truly does benefit the community at large, we need to preserve our history i'm a little puzzle that.

1055
02:01:11.040 --> 02:01:28.320
Helen Fallon: Because I understand and Jim needs to explain it to everybody, because he certainly explained it a budget that that these are not quasar public property and property owner thing I puzzle that any business owner would object to having a damaged.

1056
02:01:30.030 --> 02:01:51.090
Helen Fallon: Capital repaired or having this fiberglass installation, to make it look like the you know the old aspect because, why would they object to having something that probably has a great deal of value to their adjacent property tax, so I think Jim needs to explain a little more what the.

1057
02:01:52.800 --> 02:01:54.990
Helen Fallon: Relationships here, thank you.

1058
02:01:55.230 --> 02:01:58.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks Helen i'm Jim Ross go ahead.

1059
02:02:02.610 --> 02:02:04.680
Andrea Boccaletti: He just wants to be that back in the meeting i'm sure.

1060
02:02:05.010 --> 02:02:09.240
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh OK, I keep Jim I keep letting you back in sorry.

1061
02:02:12.360 --> 02:02:15.480
Andrea Boccaletti: And it seems like this, is there any more public comment or is.

1062
02:02:15.480 --> 02:02:21.900
Daffodil Tyminski: That no that's it, except Nick answer chill I do realize we kind of cut you off because you seem to ask a question, we just blew by did you have anything else.

1063
02:02:28.560 --> 02:02:29.970
Andrea Boccaletti: Okay i'm.

1064
02:02:30.540 --> 02:02:33.750
james murez: Excuse me, Andrea just a moment daffodil.

1065
02:02:34.890 --> 02:02:36.030
james murez: Are we done with public comment.

1066
02:02:36.420 --> 02:02:37.860
Daffodil Tyminski: We are done with public comment.

1067
02:02:38.250 --> 02:02:38.610
Okay.

1068
02:02:39.780 --> 02:02:43.110
james murez: let's go back to board comment.

1069
02:02:43.680 --> 02:02:48.990
Andrea Boccaletti: Well, I think you should give Robin two minutes at least to explain some of these things.

1070
02:02:49.920 --> 02:02:54.600
james murez: um Thank you let me, let me, let me see if I can conduct a meeting okay.

1071
02:02:55.890 --> 02:02:56.400
james murez: i'm.

1072
02:02:57.720 --> 02:02:59.970
james murez: Jim you have your hand up go ahead, please.

1073
02:03:00.810 --> 02:03:17.040
Jim Robb: I just I don't know i'd like to suggest that this comes back through the ocean front walk committees consistent because Donnelly is a part of the ocean for a walk and you know today's today, the agenda is kind of the first time i've heard about it so.

1074
02:03:18.180 --> 02:03:21.720
james murez: Is ocean front walk include Windward and if it does, how much of Windward.

1075
02:03:25.110 --> 02:03:26.340
james murez: And how much a market street.

1076
02:03:27.450 --> 02:03:28.560
Jim Robb: Probably the speedway.

1077
02:03:29.010 --> 02:03:32.970
Andrea Boccaletti: Excuse me you're gonna follow the protocol, you cannot answer those things either.

1078
02:03:34.200 --> 02:03:35.070
james murez: Excuse me.

1079
02:03:39.090 --> 02:03:46.200
Jim Robb: lake speedway is where where i've cut off, but that could be that could be argued, I suppose.

1080
02:03:46.380 --> 02:03:50.190
james murez: Okay, thank you i'm Clark go ahead place.

1081
02:03:50.190 --> 02:04:12.480
Clark Brown: But if I read the agenda correctly, the price tag on item 1718 and 19 is 12,005 but find a stand, the march expenditure report correctly, we have over $30,000 in net funds in the fall that so doesn't that give us the sufficient financial cushion to go ahead with this thing.

1082
02:04:14.910 --> 02:04:16.080
Clark Brown: I mean we can afford it right.

1083
02:04:16.530 --> 02:04:23.940
james murez: yeah we'll cut let's come back to to to be I think you're looking at an older report, it sounds like it's two months old.

1084
02:04:24.210 --> 02:04:34.740
Clark Brown: i'm looking at how report monthly expenditure report for budget year 2121 to 2022 and it's the reporting month is march 2022.

1085
02:04:34.980 --> 02:04:37.380
james murez: Right and so now we're in we're in May.

1086
02:04:37.410 --> 02:04:38.880
Clark Brown: So we don't have a solid.

1087
02:04:39.630 --> 02:04:51.510
james murez: We don't have a current report that's correct well we'll come back and ask Andrea in a minute, a question about that, to find out if we have funding for this that's a good question well welcome back to see my you have your hand up go ahead, please.

1088
02:04:57.210 --> 02:04:58.260
james murez: Oh, see Maria.

1089
02:04:59.010 --> 02:05:00.510
Sima Kostovetsky: know so i'm lowering so.

1090
02:05:01.710 --> 02:05:09.450
Sima Kostovetsky: I, so I just please forgive me, because I sit on budget and some of the letters came in after our meeting on Saturday.

1091
02:05:10.500 --> 02:05:19.290
Sima Kostovetsky: So I just want to know if it's possible to do more outreach for this, given that there is some concern.

1092
02:05:19.770 --> 02:05:36.240
Sima Kostovetsky: which came in after us considering the item in budget that's kind of number one and number two i'm wondering, do we have any kind of promise from the city or any kind of commitment going forward so.

1093
02:05:37.620 --> 02:05:45.120
Sima Kostovetsky: kind of about the bigger picture funding issues with that and then lastly and Andre, this is a question for you.

1094
02:05:45.720 --> 02:05:59.280
Sima Kostovetsky: um you know, given that we just voted to have another emergency budget meeting to fund some other things that have come down the pipeline, do we have enough funds to do all of this, because these are all wonderful projects for the Community.

1095
02:06:00.540 --> 02:06:05.640
james murez: that's all so we'll come back we'll come back to that in a minute, Melissa you had your hand up go ahead.

1096
02:06:07.140 --> 02:06:15.600
melissa diner : yeah I guess i'm just something I think, and I already looked at the application to see if this is on this, but.

1097
02:06:15.930 --> 02:06:22.740
melissa diner : I think something that would be helpful moving forward for these projects, especially that are part of like bigger projects is to like.

1098
02:06:23.160 --> 02:06:32.220
melissa diner : have some like supplementary letters that show that they have the commitment from the business owners to put up the rest of the funds to like do the full restoration.

1099
02:06:32.640 --> 02:06:45.390
melissa diner : And like a project timeline of like when they're planning to like execute the project and full just so we have and like not, not just for this project, I think we should just like look at our application and make sure.

1100
02:06:45.840 --> 02:06:54.990
melissa diner : it's it's thorough and then the second thing too is just like I personally think on these two projects we have tonight we should just refer them and look at all the projects.

1101
02:06:55.380 --> 02:07:07.110
melissa diner : At this next meeting that's solely focuses on grant money, so we can just make sure we're giving each application a fair chance, based on the funds and like who we think needs the month the funds.

1102
02:07:08.340 --> 02:07:09.390
melissa diner : So those are my thoughts.

1103
02:07:09.780 --> 02:07:10.140
james murez: Thank you.

1104
02:07:10.320 --> 02:07:12.030
Jim Robb: Second, that motion if it's emotional.

1105
02:07:12.030 --> 02:07:15.870
james murez: it's not it's not emotion, yet, let me, let me tell you that i've already had a conversation.

1106
02:07:16.350 --> 02:07:22.350
james murez: With Ivan, how can we do exactly what Melissa just said, how can we go through the projects tonight.

1107
02:07:22.800 --> 02:07:29.040
james murez: And and have another meeting and go through them again, and there is a way that we can do that, so we can decide.

1108
02:07:29.370 --> 02:07:39.750
james murez: where the money is going to be spent, we can't decide it tonight, we can only approve the projects tonight, if we agree with them and then at the next meeting, we can either anybody that's on the.

1109
02:07:41.130 --> 02:07:55.620
james murez: winning side of the motion can ask to have the motion reconsidered at the next meeting, and then at that point we could readjust what the budget amount would be going forward to any project, so we could either.

1110
02:07:56.610 --> 02:08:12.060
james murez: recall something that was approved tonight or adjust something about its financially at a future meeting by doing a reconsideration of the motion so that that's how that would work but but we can't.

1111
02:08:13.140 --> 02:08:24.570
james murez: I mean we could just postpone everything on the agenda tonight to that future meeting but that's going to make the future meeting really long, but we can do that I don't i'm not opposed to having a six hour meeting, but we can certainly do that.

1112
02:08:26.040 --> 02:08:35.040
melissa diner : But wait, can I just say one thing Why would it be long if we budget goes back they really make good recommendations, based on the applications.

1113
02:08:35.340 --> 02:08:41.700
melissa diner : We talked to the applicants tonight to submit anything else, that would help us make it and then budget makes a recommendation on.

1114
02:08:42.000 --> 02:08:54.270
melissa diner : These are the set amount, I mean we could almost pass all of those that once in one motion, am I missing something like if it's if we defer these it could actually be a quick meeting great.

1115
02:08:54.330 --> 02:09:05.400
james murez: We we could certainly push these off to the next meeting, and then decide them at the next meeting, but because we're all here tonight it's eight o'clock my personal feeling is.

1116
02:09:05.400 --> 02:09:06.720
james murez: let's go through and hear what we have.

1117
02:09:06.750 --> 02:09:13.230
james murez: To hear on them until nine o'clock and then at nine o'clock push whatever's left over, we slept two more so.

1118
02:09:14.310 --> 02:09:21.300
melissa diner : The funds is where I really need to hear about to make a decision on this do we have funds to fund all these projects.

1119
02:09:21.390 --> 02:09:23.490
melissa diner : And the pending ones that will here at the next.

1120
02:09:23.490 --> 02:09:24.210
james murez: Meeting know.

1121
02:09:26.100 --> 02:09:26.340
james murez: We.

1122
02:09:27.300 --> 02:09:35.040
Andrea Boccaletti: And there's another five projects that we still have to hear about and Budget Committee that we didn't get a chance to get to in the last meeting.

1123
02:09:35.610 --> 02:09:35.970
melissa diner : got it.

1124
02:09:36.300 --> 02:09:43.350
james murez: So there's dancer you, we do not have enough money to fund all eight of the projects.

1125
02:09:44.610 --> 02:09:48.990
james murez: we're going to have to make some decisions going forward there's no question about it.

1126
02:09:51.150 --> 02:09:55.050
james murez: let's go back to calling on people with their hands up daffodil go ahead.

1127
02:09:57.780 --> 02:09:58.290
Daffodil Tyminski: um.

1128
02:09:59.460 --> 02:10:00.690
Daffodil Tyminski: I just think.

1129
02:10:01.590 --> 02:10:14.220
Daffodil Tyminski: It I appreciate the idea of this and I love the idea of restoring the columns if I own the building with the columns I would want them restored but i'm greatly disturbed that I just don't think there was any outreach I mean i've had people reach out to me.

1130
02:10:14.610 --> 02:10:16.200
Daffodil Tyminski: I had people stopped me on the street.

1131
02:10:18.120 --> 02:10:25.530
Daffodil Tyminski: You know, maybe one or two property owners were for it, but it really bothers me and to nick's point The other thing is.

1132
02:10:25.980 --> 02:10:33.060
Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know why we would spend sort of hard fought city money when these property owners are sitting on millions of dollars worth of property.

1133
02:10:33.510 --> 02:10:47.220
Daffodil Tyminski: And this is like a $5,000 project which for us is a huge big deal, but if one any one of these property owners can easily put this on their amex card right so It just seems to me i'm.

1134
02:10:48.480 --> 02:10:57.330
Daffodil Tyminski: not totally thought out, I also do have concerns about using city funds to improve private property, these are not all historic.

1135
02:10:57.990 --> 02:11:05.910
Daffodil Tyminski: The notation about what's a star or two I think it's either one or two buildings on one word that are marked everything else I don't believe is marked.

1136
02:11:06.720 --> 02:11:15.750
Daffodil Tyminski: And that was a concern that was raised to me by some of the property owners, there was like I don't want the city funds touching my building, because then the city now has the right to come in and do what they want.

1137
02:11:16.500 --> 02:11:27.720
Daffodil Tyminski: And, apparently, from what I understand I don't know all the details, but this has been talked about for years on one word and there's a big dispute among different sides of people's vision for that area, so.

1138
02:11:28.410 --> 02:11:41.160
Daffodil Tyminski: I personally feel like until we get everyone on board, we should sort of, say, out of this because not it's not my property I don't want to force this on somebody so that's my two cents, if it was I would do it, but it's not.

1139
02:11:41.550 --> 02:11:44.940
james murez: Thank you devin oh i'm wrong Robert you have your hand up.

1140
02:11:49.980 --> 02:11:53.010
robertthibodeau: Other people had their hands up before me, you want.

1141
02:11:53.610 --> 02:11:56.070
james murez: And I think you're the only one that's still does.

1142
02:11:56.310 --> 02:11:58.890
james murez: Okay, Melissa has left herself i'll put it down for.

1143
02:12:00.720 --> 02:12:12.720
robertthibodeau: I think that having a Community owned mold of the calc column capitals, is a good idea.

1144
02:12:14.040 --> 02:12:26.970
robertthibodeau: Should there be you know fire or something like that It just seems like a good thing to have like a permanent record of the column capital, so I would definitely.

1145
02:12:28.740 --> 02:12:41.160
robertthibodeau: vote in favor of the five grand to make the molds and then have them stored in the you know the mcs locker or something like that It just seems like a prudent prudent thing to do.

1146
02:12:42.000 --> 02:12:56.970
robertthibodeau: I think the rest of it if there were budget concerns, you know as far as actually the restoration work and foods herbs, the cost those things could be deferred because I think that makes some legitimate points and.

1147
02:12:58.170 --> 02:13:11.850
robertthibodeau: Also, I think it's private property, you know, even though it's over the public right away, I think the buildings are technically owned by by private property owners, and so I think those are, but I think the idea of to call them capitals and having a record of those is a great idea.

1148
02:13:13.620 --> 02:13:14.040
robertthibodeau: that's it.

1149
02:13:15.000 --> 02:13:26.220
james murez: Thank you um i'm seeing Melissa diner and NICO are both in the attendee list and i'm trying to promote them but i'm not having any success so.

1150
02:13:26.250 --> 02:13:29.280
Daffodil Tyminski: Melissa i've tried multiple multiple times.

1151
02:13:29.280 --> 02:13:37.500
james murez: Just just I just got a message, Melissa is going to be rejoining and i'm trying to see, I guess, we got NICO back to yeah great.

1152
02:13:37.950 --> 02:13:41.880
Daffodil Tyminski: yeah they've they've jumped on it's a couple people have been in and out all night.

1153
02:13:42.360 --> 02:13:43.050
They just kidding.

1154
02:13:44.910 --> 02:13:45.720
Daffodil Tyminski: Can I just ask.

1155
02:13:45.810 --> 02:14:00.150
Daffodil Tyminski: A question on clarification sure he's from Robert comment I don't How would that work with these two, it seems like the cost is $10,000 it's 5000 to make the mold and then $10,000 to make the column so Robert are you saying.

1156
02:14:00.180 --> 02:14:02.490
james murez: it's not five and 10 it's five and five.

1157
02:14:02.640 --> 02:14:10.440
Daffodil Tyminski: i'm sorry five and five but Robert are you saying you're for like the one that's $5,000 to make the mold but not for the casting.

1158
02:14:12.240 --> 02:14:15.870
Daffodil Tyminski: I assume we're dealing with these together, because the you said there were interrelated.

1159
02:14:16.230 --> 02:14:25.650
robertthibodeau: it's probably a better the way I understood it was five for the mold and then another five for the repair work, but maybe I misunderstood it.

1160
02:14:25.740 --> 02:14:28.710
james murez: yeah you misunderstood let's get Robin to clarify that Robin.

1161
02:14:28.710 --> 02:14:28.920
robertthibodeau: Are you.

1162
02:14:29.580 --> 02:14:29.880
robertthibodeau: want to.

1163
02:14:30.000 --> 02:14:30.930
james murez: address that please.

1164
02:14:31.590 --> 02:14:42.060
Robin: yeah so also I want to just mention that, for some reason I lost my connectivity, so I didn't even hear the initial presentation here so i'm sorry that I don't know, maybe.

1165
02:14:42.480 --> 02:15:08.550
Robin: Other things that you're missing okay so it's $5,000 to create a mold of a capital that is it a mold that then could be used for casting 10 to 15 capitals it's a complicated and detailed process and needs to be done properly it's a separate $5,000 to cast to.

1166
02:15:09.570 --> 02:15:19.860
Robin: capitals, then they'd be fiberglass they would be you know the quality that we need the I the reason to keep them under 5000 is because.

1167
02:15:20.220 --> 02:15:25.440
Robin: If you go over 5000 in any budget on these CIPS or NPs whatever they're called.

1168
02:15:26.220 --> 02:15:36.120
Robin: You have to get a special contract with the city, it also enabled us to get a price that is astronomically lower than anything, otherwise I got.

1169
02:15:36.540 --> 02:15:44.100
Robin: quotes from a company that did this years back, it was $24,000 for each stage of this.

1170
02:15:44.880 --> 02:15:56.730
Robin: This is a fantastic price and regarding you know whether these are historic, this is our iconic Italian architecture that Abbot kinney originally built.

1171
02:15:57.540 --> 02:16:09.120
Robin: The business owners have indicated that they need to see like proof of concept if they see that we can do it, we have these two capitals in hand to show them.

1172
02:16:09.540 --> 02:16:24.810
Robin: Then we can get them on board yeah this is pitons for them to go forward with it, but unless we get it started it's never going to happen and it's the perfect thing for the neighborhood Council to restore our history, our historic architecture.

1173
02:16:25.890 --> 02:16:28.050
Robin: Whether other questions that I can respond to.

1174
02:16:28.410 --> 02:16:41.250
Robin: Also Helen Helen add added up what the available budget was, and it was at least $24,000 and our proposal I don't think you went through the whole thing Jim we do also have on there, the.

1175
02:16:41.700 --> 02:16:52.080
Robin: quotes from the contractor specifically for exactly what they'll do, and we have the links to their business, you can see exactly what they do.

1176
02:16:52.200 --> 02:16:54.270
Robin: Thanks very thorough, thank you.

1177
02:16:54.660 --> 02:16:59.730
james murez: Thank you, Robin I see some new hands went up NICO your hand is up.

1178
02:17:01.890 --> 02:17:03.840
Nico Ruderman: yeah I think that.

1179
02:17:05.970 --> 02:17:17.190
Nico Ruderman: I really want to echo a question that was asked earlier that hopefully we can get to if we fund every project that's been proposed in this meeting in the next do we have enough money.

1180
02:17:17.490 --> 02:17:17.700
Do.

1181
02:17:18.720 --> 02:17:19.080
Nico Ruderman: Okay.

1182
02:17:20.070 --> 02:17:23.430
james murez: We don't have enough money to fund all eight projects.

1183
02:17:24.000 --> 02:17:29.760
Nico Ruderman: How short, are we, I mean because, because at some point, I mean I think they're all great projects, we need to decide which one's work and which one.

1184
02:17:30.090 --> 02:17:34.350
james murez: Did you read, do you recall off the top of your head how short, we are was like 10 15,000.

1185
02:17:37.020 --> 02:17:39.600
james murez: I can't hear you you're waving your hands it's very.

1186
02:17:40.650 --> 02:17:41.820
Andrea Boccaletti: So I was muted.

1187
02:17:43.200 --> 02:17:49.050
Andrea Boccaletti: Approximately 16 $17,000 would be short, I mean there's a lot of projects that came in right so okay.

1188
02:17:49.440 --> 02:17:54.840
james murez: Thank you, Melissa yes i'll have your hand up, I know, did you were you done nikko i'm sorry.

1189
02:17:55.170 --> 02:18:03.750
Nico Ruderman: No, I mean I guess you know it's it's I you know, the idea of having one meeting, where we discuss all of these projects at one time, I think, would be.

1190
02:18:04.410 --> 02:18:11.880
Nico Ruderman: You know somebody propose a good solution so that we can really go through and figure out what we're going to spend our money on because, like I you know haven't seen any projects that.

1191
02:18:12.420 --> 02:18:20.880
Nico Ruderman: I think are bad projects that I wouldn't fund individually, but you know I think we need to look at you know what's what's more valuable for the Community yeah.

1192
02:18:20.940 --> 02:18:22.020
Robin: I think you need to look at the.

1193
02:18:22.590 --> 02:18:25.740
james murez: bank you we're not calling Robin we're not calling on you.

1194
02:18:26.700 --> 02:18:28.800
james murez: Melissa your hand is up go ahead, please.

1195
02:18:33.090 --> 02:18:38.910
melissa diner : hi I just i'm happy to talk about these tonight I think it's helpful to finance.

1196
02:18:39.150 --> 02:18:49.110
melissa diner : But I do think that they should all go back to finance finance should bet them only recommend the ones that are the most thorough that we want to move forward with now.

1197
02:18:49.470 --> 02:18:58.020
melissa diner : And then the other ones, we can fund, maybe at a future date when they have more of a package together or can actually spend the money immediately.

1198
02:18:58.320 --> 02:19:14.970
melissa diner : So I like this project, but I would like to send both back tonight, so, then we can fund as many projects as possible, and someone correct me if i'm wrong, but we can fund projects, but not give them the full amount they asked for, we can allocate them out, we give them.

1199
02:19:15.090 --> 02:19:18.450
james murez: Correct correct that's correct yeah all right, thank you.

1200
02:19:18.840 --> 02:19:21.060
Jim Robb: The benefits emotion, would you make emotion.

1201
02:19:21.150 --> 02:19:24.030
james murez: hold on Jim Jim we have some we have some hands up for.

1202
02:19:24.030 --> 02:19:24.300
melissa diner : A SEC.

1203
02:19:24.870 --> 02:19:29.160
james murez: let's let's that people speak that haven't had a chance to speak cj go ahead.

1204
02:19:31.980 --> 02:19:32.910
james murez: You gotta unmute cj.

1205
02:19:33.510 --> 02:19:46.200
CJ Cole: muted um Okay, a couple of things on first of all, I really feel like we're under pressure to spend a bunch of money and nobody was really prepared to come in and ask for.

1206
02:19:47.220 --> 02:19:55.470
CJ Cole: Frankly, I think we heard that most of that money we're going to roll over we don't know for sure, but a certain amount of it is going to roll.

1207
02:19:55.470 --> 02:19:56.490
Ivan: Over and we don't know.

1208
02:19:57.690 --> 02:19:59.850
james murez: How even just a minute we'll get to that.

1209
02:20:00.840 --> 02:20:13.350
CJ Cole: I just I just feel like we have been put under pressure at the last minute, which is kind of the way we do everything you know because somebody all of a sudden realize that we have money left.

1210
02:20:14.880 --> 02:20:19.440
CJ Cole: um and number one we have spreadsheet I asked for this and the budget.

1211
02:20:20.280 --> 02:20:29.130
CJ Cole: Of the requests and everything about them in a spreadsheet so we can look at it all at once, I agree that we cannot make a decision at this point.

1212
02:20:29.430 --> 02:20:48.480
CJ Cole: But a certainly a lot of these don't have to be done in the next 24 hours or the next 30 days you know they are all things that that are not be dependent on whether we're funded in 2022 or 2023 yeah we'll have funds next year to do something.

1213
02:20:48.630 --> 02:20:52.410
Andrea Boccaletti: wrong they have to be spent, they have to be identified by June 1.

1214
02:20:52.470 --> 02:21:03.240
james murez: yeah let me, let me just interject here cj you made a point about the money rolling over, we have more money than they have ever allowed to have rolled over in the past.

1215
02:21:03.690 --> 02:21:08.220
james murez: They have allowed in previous years $10,000 to be rolled over from one.

1216
02:21:09.210 --> 02:21:22.320
james murez: budget to the next, they have not yet identified if there will be a rollover this year or not, we believe there will be, because they've done it in the past and there's been some talk about it.

1217
02:21:22.980 --> 02:21:30.420
james murez: freddie's on on the online right now and Freddie if you have any update to that, by any chance, are they going to give us a rollover do you know.

1218
02:21:32.010 --> 02:21:33.630
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): Yes, it's 10,000.

1219
02:21:33.990 --> 02:21:37.830
james murez: It will be 10,000 so of the money that we have available.

1220
02:21:39.210 --> 02:21:46.950
james murez: There will be $10,000 rollover okay so, so I hope that answers here, let me move on Mike you have your hand up.

1221
02:21:47.850 --> 02:21:51.720
Mike Bravo: yeah um I think the project it's a great idea.

1222
02:21:52.800 --> 02:21:53.670
Mike Bravo: I just think that.

1223
02:21:54.840 --> 02:22:04.650
Mike Bravo: Given that our resources financially support the Community are finite and a lot of these businesses, they have a lot more monetary resources and investors and what have you.

1224
02:22:05.520 --> 02:22:18.210
Mike Bravo: This seems more amies who is more suitable to be a like a project that should be funded and kind of like organized within the business community, and you know people like that to a versus you know.

1225
02:22:19.470 --> 02:22:34.710
Mike Bravo: soaking up love no resources that we have on the dnc that could be used for people in the Community level or more access, you know less resources or a little more in dire need of have been funding for their projects so just wanted to throw that out there.

1226
02:22:34.860 --> 02:22:35.430
james murez: Thank you Mike.

1227
02:22:36.900 --> 02:22:39.420
james murez: semen Clark and and then we're going to.

1228
02:22:40.530 --> 02:22:44.730
james murez: decide what we're going to do, Andrea I see your hand is up also i'll give you a chance.

1229
02:22:45.990 --> 02:22:52.380
james murez: We just keep going around in circles, we don't want to keep this going all night on this one money issue go ahead Clark.

1230
02:22:53.880 --> 02:23:08.190
Clark Brown: Free understand this correctly, we will spend $12,500 to create some prototypes of capitals, which can then be shown to property owners to see if they want to actually fund the construction and the installation of the.

1231
02:23:09.060 --> 02:23:27.180
Clark Brown: capitals on their property if that's correct, it seems to me that we really ought to do a very thorough outreach to see if these property owners will actually go ahead and spend the money to install the capitals, for which we have prototypes.

1232
02:23:28.500 --> 02:23:29.370
Clark Brown: it's a pig of her boss.

1233
02:23:29.400 --> 02:23:31.110
Clark Brown: you're available funds.

1234
02:23:31.140 --> 02:23:42.000
james murez: yeah you were partially correct it's not 12,500 it's 10,000 and and I can only tell you that I have spoken to three property owners and they were they are all very interested in funding, and if it works.

1235
02:23:42.270 --> 02:23:43.620
Clark Brown: what's the 2500 for.

1236
02:23:44.340 --> 02:23:46.290
james murez: that's a separate project there's.

1237
02:23:46.470 --> 02:23:53.850
Clark Brown: Another item on the agenda, I thought I thought it was an over under a markup margin or pushing for the 5000.

1238
02:23:53.940 --> 02:23:55.080
james murez: Know there's that's.

1239
02:23:55.110 --> 02:23:56.430
Clark Brown: know your unrelated.

1240
02:23:56.820 --> 02:23:57.810
james murez: There is unrelated.

1241
02:23:57.930 --> 02:24:09.270
james murez: Alright, this separate project by by completely independent individual i'm Melissa your hand is still up is that because you're trying to get back into the meeting or did you have something you need to say.

1242
02:24:09.750 --> 02:24:10.500
melissa diner : No, no i'm good.

1243
02:24:10.890 --> 02:24:14.910
james murez: Okay NICO your hand is still up did you still need something to say.

1244
02:24:15.450 --> 02:24:21.420
Nico Ruderman: yeah just real quick, I just want to echo what Robert said earlier, I think this part of this this particular emotion.

1245
02:24:22.890 --> 02:24:32.310
Nico Ruderman: Is is is important in the sense that is preserving history in case anything ever happened and that's that's very different than presenting a mold at presenting.

1246
02:24:33.150 --> 02:24:42.810
Nico Ruderman: At proof of concepts of business owner, so I think they you know I still think we should look at them all at once, but I think these should be looked at very differently and those eyes.

1247
02:24:43.110 --> 02:24:47.430
james murez: Okay, now I want to give the closing comments, because this is a budget and finance side.

1248
02:24:47.880 --> 02:24:48.300
james murez: I want to get.

1249
02:24:49.410 --> 02:24:51.210
Andrea Boccaletti: Are you not seeing my hand on your screen.

1250
02:24:51.240 --> 02:24:59.130
james murez: I want to give you the closing combat if you will give me the chance to say that, thank you.

1251
02:25:00.180 --> 02:25:00.990
james murez: relax.

1252
02:25:02.040 --> 02:25:02.850
james murez: Andre go ahead.

1253
02:25:04.560 --> 02:25:11.550
Andrea Boccaletti: Thank you, I thought you said to give yourself the closing comment no i'm i'm not making a closing comment i'm just making a general board comment.

1254
02:25:12.300 --> 02:25:31.410
Andrea Boccaletti: I think it's an amazing idea, because I think it's it's a case of build it and they will come so if you have these molds, you have the mold then it makes it more readily available for people to be able to fix they can't they can't afford to fix their cast iron.

1255
02:25:32.610 --> 02:25:34.320
Andrea Boccaletti: capitals, the way they are right now.

1256
02:25:35.400 --> 02:25:46.320
Andrea Boccaletti: And yeah I mean i'm a history buff I love history, I love to see the history of places and see a little bit of it preserved so that's my two cents, I mean I when I saw the project that I was a pretty good project.

1257
02:25:46.680 --> 02:25:49.530
james murez: And let me, let me ask you how can we.

1258
02:25:51.060 --> 02:25:57.990
james murez: put together some kind of a financial plan that everybody can see all of the projects for our next Tuesday meeting.

1259
02:25:59.520 --> 02:26:05.970
james murez: Is that something that you can take on putting together a spreadsheet so so we you know, everybody sees in one place ahead of time.

1260
02:26:06.270 --> 02:26:17.400
james murez: So we can post it with the agenda, these are all the projects and here's the dollar amounts I know we show it on the agenda one item after the other, the the concept of looking at it in a spreadsheet or some sort of tabulated something.

1261
02:26:18.510 --> 02:26:18.840
james murez: and

1262
02:26:18.930 --> 02:26:19.200
Andrea Boccaletti: Make.

1263
02:26:19.230 --> 02:26:32.040
Andrea Boccaletti: Sure, I mean they are on the budget and finance agenda for the last meeting that we had on Saturday, you can all look at them, each one of them is there the supporting documents are there, the amounts that they're asking for their okay.

1264
02:26:33.210 --> 02:26:35.520
james murez: Okay, you answered it I think it's all.

1265
02:26:35.520 --> 02:26:39.120
james murez: There you're right, some of them, some of them you're not you're not totally.

1266
02:26:39.630 --> 02:26:46.740
Andrea Boccaletti: Clear of whether they're asking for 5000 or 7000 or 2000 and perpetuity it's just it's very.

1267
02:26:46.980 --> 02:26:50.430
Andrea Boccaletti: Okay, one of these are very confusing, so I don't know how to make up for that.

1268
02:26:50.760 --> 02:26:53.520
james murez: And and in to the point.

1269
02:26:53.580 --> 02:26:53.910
Of.

1270
02:26:56.370 --> 02:27:11.790
james murez: Being able to roll over 10,000 next year is an election year we're going to need money for the election that was brought up in the Budget Committee meeting and and so, if we were to hold back the 10,000 that we want to roll over.

1271
02:27:13.080 --> 02:27:14.790
james murez: How much would that still leave us with.

1272
02:27:17.940 --> 02:27:19.320
Andrea Boccaletti: If we were to hold back the.

1273
02:27:19.320 --> 02:27:25.320
james murez: $10,000 how much how much do we have how much I mean i'm going to say we have roughly $22,000.

1274
02:27:25.710 --> 02:27:43.140
Andrea Boccaletti: That we could spend on MP g's and Community improvement projects because I would not want to leave the Council bone drive for till till the end of the fiscal year until June 30 whatever it is so i'd like to leave $6,000 in the account.

1275
02:27:43.470 --> 02:27:48.300
Andrea Boccaletti: Okay, just for those types of things, but if we want to leave the 10,000 also for the rollover.

1276
02:27:49.800 --> 02:27:51.330
Andrea Boccaletti: Then we're looking at about.

1277
02:27:54.540 --> 02:27:56.160
Andrea Boccaletti: we're really looking at.

1278
02:27:57.840 --> 02:28:13.830
Andrea Boccaletti: The original money that was a lot of for these projects in the administrative packet so that's $6,000 for Community improvement project 70 $500 for neighborhood purpose grants that's it so 35 total.

1279
02:28:14.040 --> 02:28:16.200
james murez: And you've already subtract it out.

1280
02:28:17.580 --> 02:28:24.270
james murez: or you've already set aside the money that outreach needs to finish the year out and the money that you need to be.

1281
02:28:24.600 --> 02:28:25.500
james murez: Paid rent on.

1282
02:28:25.920 --> 02:28:27.720
james murez: All of that stuff's already being considered.

1283
02:28:27.780 --> 02:28:35.490
Andrea Boccaletti: that's that would be leaving the $6,000 cushion till the end but The thing is, if you want to have $10,000 a rollover funds, then.

1284
02:28:36.660 --> 02:28:43.740
Andrea Boccaletti: You know, you could you could even say that we don't even have the full money for this Community improvement projects or the neighborhood purpose grants.

1285
02:28:44.010 --> 02:28:44.400
james murez: So, but.

1286
02:28:44.460 --> 02:28:44.910
Andrea Boccaletti: If what.

1287
02:28:45.000 --> 02:28:48.060
Andrea Boccaletti: If the intention is to roll $10,000 into next year.

1288
02:28:48.450 --> 02:28:51.810
james murez: So we would we would need to see how that would look.

1289
02:28:53.190 --> 02:29:09.510
james murez: In so we're we're not dealing with vague numbers, but so we can get a real handle on where we're at when we go into the meeting on Tuesday, so we know exactly what we can and cannot fund, because it sounds like We probably have somewhere between 10 and and maybe as much as 15 now.

1290
02:29:09.510 --> 02:29:15.030
Andrea Boccaletti: i'm going to say something, right now, this is my first time around okay we've got our treasure that was treasure for 12.

1291
02:29:15.120 --> 02:29:23.460
Andrea Boccaletti: Years of this neighborhood Council alright, this is like one of the most thankless jobs and i'm going to tell you I.

1292
02:29:24.690 --> 02:29:27.000
Andrea Boccaletti: Just lost my my thought, but i'm.

1293
02:29:29.400 --> 02:29:30.510
Andrea Boccaletti: i'm.

1294
02:29:33.780 --> 02:29:36.630
Andrea Boccaletti: i'm sorry I just lost my train of thought.

1295
02:29:37.140 --> 02:29:41.490
Andrea Boccaletti: Okay, but what I was going to say next there was one more thing that was important, but.

1296
02:29:43.080 --> 02:29:55.410
james murez: So do we want to vote on this tonight I guess that's the real question, do we want to to hear the next one, and then the next one after that we have about.

1297
02:29:56.130 --> 02:30:06.840
james murez: it's 823 now so if we wanted to end this meeting, like nine o'clock we could probably entertain the other two of them and and hear more about them, so we understand where we all have the next one is actually.

1298
02:30:07.320 --> 02:30:11.280
james murez: Part two of this one we've already heard, most of it and then there's one other, one after that.

1299
02:30:12.960 --> 02:30:14.040
james murez: How does everybody.

1300
02:30:14.040 --> 02:30:14.760

02:30:14.790 --> 02:30:22.770
Jim Robb: I am here, all of them before I voted on one of them, and I would like to help Andrea out I understand he's got a thankless job.

1302
02:30:22.800 --> 02:30:28.770
Andrea Boccaletti: So, and I know I know the other part of it that I was meaning to say these all came in at the 11th hour.

1303
02:30:28.890 --> 02:30:29.430
CJ Cole: On Thursday.

1304
02:30:30.180 --> 02:30:36.390
Andrea Boccaletti: I had a budget agenda ready for the Tuesday budget meeting and these all came in on Thursday.

1305
02:30:37.110 --> 02:30:38.280
Andrea Boccaletti: Alright alright let's.

Sima Kostovetsky: If I could just say a few words, and it is a thankless job and listen, this is so hard, it really is because you're responsible for the neighborhood.

1311
02:31:03.660 --> 02:31:13.200
Sima Kostovetsky: And how do you do that, how do you do that equitably it's hard and it's thankless anyway, I just wanted to point out what Melissa had already pointed out, pointed out that.

1312
02:31:13.620 --> 02:31:29.550
Sima Kostovetsky: We don't have to fund everything in its entirety, we can split out the funds, but I do think that it's important to see the big picture, because we didn't have it on Saturday we didn't and we spent three hours you guys it's not for lack of dedication mm hmm.

1313
02:31:30.000 --> 02:31:33.870
james murez: Absolutely i'm definitely you still had your hand up.

1314
02:31:34.740 --> 02:31:41.100
Daffodil Tyminski: yeah I do um two things one just so everyone understands, a lot of this budget information we didn't have from the city.

1315
02:31:41.490 --> 02:31:46.320
Daffodil Tyminski: So, for example, tenants, I think the first time we found out that we had the $10,000 rollover.

1316
02:31:46.890 --> 02:31:58.050
Daffodil Tyminski: What that means is, at least in terms of my mind is that i'm really unclear as to how much we have to spend and I would just put all of these projects, I hate to do this because I don't want to spend the time to go back and do it again either.

1317
02:31:58.410 --> 02:32:11.220
Daffodil Tyminski: But I think the only way to be fair, about is put everything back to budget will know how much at that point we have and we can figure out how to apportion it and maybe we can talk to some of the requesters to and say, do you really need as much as you're asking for.

1318
02:32:11.400 --> 02:32:17.400
james murez: So, will you would you make them into emotion and let me bring up my my screen share do you want to do that.

1319
02:32:18.090 --> 02:32:25.920
Daffodil Tyminski: I am going to make a motion to return all of the neighborhood purpose friends and Community interest.

1320
02:32:27.030 --> 02:32:35.520
Daffodil Tyminski: Community improvement projects back to the budget and Finance Committee, so that they can all be considered globally with the remaining budget that we have left.

1321
02:32:36.390 --> 02:32:41.070
james murez: So that would be items 1718.

1322
02:32:43.290 --> 02:32:46.860
Daffodil Tyminski: Frankly, that would include 19 because it would affect everything else with the budget adjustments.

1323
02:32:46.860 --> 02:32:48.570
19 2020.

1324
02:32:50.280 --> 02:32:51.420
james murez: And 21.

1325
02:32:53.280 --> 02:32:55.080
james murez: And 22 so a.

1326

1328
02:33:44.070 --> 02:33:46.470
melissa diner : Can I say one thing, while you're writing that Jim.

1329
02:33:46.830 --> 02:33:47.400
james murez: yeah go ahead.

1330
02:33:48.180 --> 02:34:02.640
melissa diner : I was just gonna say to like before this next Budget meeting I can help her you know, I think it also might be valuable to access applicants doctrinal kind of references, but like could you still do your project.

1331
02:34:03.390 --> 02:34:19.620
melissa diner : In a reasonable amount of time if we only give you a portion of the money, because if the answer's no, then you guys can decide either we're going to give you know we're not going to give them money or we're going to fund their projects in whole to tell us to say hey.

1332
02:34:19.650 --> 02:34:21.120

1336
02:34:33.960 --> 02:34:39.660
Daffodil Tyminski: I believe it was item seven teen through 22 but I hold on i've got the agenda.

1432
02:41:30.300 --> 02:41:39.570
Andrea Boccaletti: yeah i'm in this is not being critical of anybody, but I took a ride on the on the beach bike path on Sunday and.

1433
02:41:40.680 --> 02:41:52.290
Andrea Boccaletti: It just looks like tensor coming back and the actual surface itself of the bike path was, I mean in i'd say probably 30% of it was just covered in sand.

1434
02:41:53.010 --> 02:42:06.150
Andrea Boccaletti: I mean it's anything being done down there anymore, because then we have people that come on weekends that come to enjoy this Community, I mean if you can't even write on the bike path without you know hitting sand and crashing and going down it's just it just looks like a mess, but.

1435
02:42:07.530 --> 02:42:10.500
Andrea Boccaletti: Again, not being critical of anybody I just hope something.

1436
02:42:11.220 --> 02:42:14.070
Andrea Boccaletti: we're getting some support and we're getting some help from the city of La.

Jim Robb: it's supposed to be clean.

1438
02:42:15.480 --> 02:42:18.120
Jim Robb: it's supposed to be cleaned weekly it's not bad.

1439
02:42:18.540 --> 02:42:24.450
Jim Robb: yeah I think they're the ballers were supposed to be done, of course, you heard that those are finally getting done so.

1440
02:42:25.050 --> 02:42:38.370
Jim Robb: That we have do scooters and burn and all those are coming out with bicycle you can ride around to now so yeah it's going to be very it's going to be very congested in the next summer time if we don't get some law enforcement to do what they're supposed to.

1441
02:42:38.730 --> 02:42:40.380
Jim Robb: and get all these crazy people off.

1442
02:42:40.380 --> 02:42:41.790
Jim Robb: The boardwalk in the bike that.

1443
02:42:42.300 --> 02:42:45.000
james murez: Was don't let it, let us know how we can help gym.

1444
02:42:45.360 --> 02:42:48.900
Jim Robb: Okay, I definitely need some help, so the do it.

1445
02:42:49.800 --> 02:42:53.310
Andrea Boccaletti: And and just the other piece of comment I wanted to make because that.

1446
02:42:55.350 --> 02:42:57.870
Andrea Boccaletti: At times I see so much.

1447
02:42:59.130 --> 02:43:20.190
Andrea Boccaletti: ill will towards certain people certain board members and I hear about it and just you know things happen, the Community forum gets cancelled, something that would have been so important for Venice voters on knowing who to vote for and Council district 11 for our city council person.

1448
02:43:21.510 --> 02:43:25.110
Andrea Boccaletti: And you know this l will turns into.

1449
02:43:26.250 --> 02:43:35.790
Andrea Boccaletti: I don't like such and such a person and then what happens is that in just in many facets of what we do, what happens it's sabotage is the Community.

1450
02:43:36.660 --> 02:43:44.190
Andrea Boccaletti: And i'm just really kind of tired of that and i'd really do we're here to make the Community better and to move forward and.

1451
02:43:44.580 --> 02:43:55.980
Andrea Boccaletti: do things not just be angry at this person or that person's ideas or whatever it is, I just don't want to see any of that any of that anymore it's just it's just really disheartening and I came on the.

1452
02:43:56.640 --> 02:44:08.610
Andrea Boccaletti: On the Committee to try to improve this because I saw that we had a city council person that was destroying our Community, I came because I wanted to make a positive change in this Community and.

1453
02:44:09.900 --> 02:44:15.000
Andrea Boccaletti: that's that's my two cents, so I just hope that we stop sabotaging things, thank you.

1454
02:44:16.290 --> 02:44:18.960
james murez: Thank you i'm Robert go ahead.

1455
02:44:20.250 --> 02:44:38.550
robertthibodeau: I got another one for Mr rob yeah the hopefully not overloading you tonight buddy I noticed the entrance to the Washington Pier the concrete part of it before it hits the the concrete part of it, but a lifeguard stand, you know, is all broken up and.

1456
02:44:39.870 --> 02:44:52.320
robertthibodeau: You know, whatever the it's just it's falling apart now and maybe you and I could get together, I don't know if that falls under transportation, or if that's more in your thing, but you know it'd be a shame to let it go too much further.

1457
02:44:53.370 --> 02:45:00.570
robertthibodeau: It looks like a pretty major city project I don't know who would reach out to but it's just it's all it's all falling apart.

1458
02:45:01.020 --> 02:45:02.430
Jim Robb: Is it by the old terrorists.

1459
02:45:04.470 --> 02:45:05.010
Jim Robb: terrorists.

1460
02:45:05.760 --> 02:45:16.680
robertthibodeau: Its peer that that entry bit where the concrete is poured between the lifeguard stand and in the parking lot.

1461
02:45:17.100 --> 02:45:18.180
Jim Robb: Okay copy that.

1462
02:45:18.210 --> 02:45:19.740
robertthibodeau: All right, wow.

1463
02:45:19.800 --> 02:45:23.130
robertthibodeau: yeah next time you're down there take a look look down and you'll see what i'm talking about.

1464
02:45:23.670 --> 02:45:28.800
Jim Robb: Okay well we're trying to get an arch to go over there as well, so hopefully that gets submitted to the city so.

1465
02:45:28.920 --> 02:45:30.480
robertthibodeau: yeah i'm all for that thanks, but.

1466
02:45:30.810 --> 02:45:33.450
james murez: Did they did the letter for the arch gets sent to me.

1467
02:45:34.050 --> 02:45:38.010
Jim Robb: I think I believe he did all look but yeah I think you did.

1468
02:45:38.040 --> 02:45:40.470
james murez: I sort of remember that, too, I think, Brian sent it but.

1469
02:45:40.530 --> 02:45:43.470
james murez: But if not make sure it gets sent to me, so we can get that out.

1470
02:45:43.830 --> 02:45:56.880
Jim Robb: And I have a quick question as far are we getting funded from the city for the Olympics, it is that something that can tie into the arch and all that, or is there some sort of funding that we're getting down here.

1471
02:45:57.810 --> 02:46:03.150
james murez: I personally have not heard of anything that i've been trying to push it every chance I get.

1472
02:46:04.650 --> 02:46:08.310
james murez: And, and all I can say is that.

1473
02:46:10.020 --> 02:46:18.750
james murez: You know it's an important thing to get done we don't have any direct conduit at this point to the Council people that are in charge of it.

1474
02:46:19.530 --> 02:46:30.510
james murez: So you know I just I know a lot of private individuals are working on on spreading the word to try and help make it happen, and I think that's, the only thing we can we can hope for at this point.

1475
02:46:31.110 --> 02:46:36.840
Jim Robb: And I write some sort of motion up that would include that and try to get some people involved or what do you think.

1476
02:46:36.990 --> 02:46:48.090
james murez: yeah I mean if you if you wanted to put together a motion to be submitted to the Olympic Committee Council there is there is a three Council people that have have.

1477
02:46:49.410 --> 02:46:56.220
james murez: been put in charge by the mayor, to act as the city side to the La.

1478
02:46:57.270 --> 02:46:57.690
james murez: la.

1479
02:46:59.580 --> 02:47:03.060
james murez: Committee, we could certainly submit it to them.

1480
02:47:04.770 --> 02:47:06.900
Jim Robb: All right, well i'll work on all that for my next meeting.

1481
02:47:07.650 --> 02:47:08.910
Jim Robb: ID I think you.

1482
02:47:09.150 --> 02:47:11.490
james murez: Clark, did you have your hand up from before, is it still.

1483
02:47:11.700 --> 02:47:13.710
james murez: No stuff still I think new okay.

1484
02:47:13.830 --> 02:47:23.310
Clark Brown: uh my comment doesn't fit well with andres comment but I certainly agree with what Andrea said I don't mean this as a personal matter.

1485
02:47:23.850 --> 02:47:37.500
Clark Brown: But i'm having a problem with frank Murphy, the chairman of the homelessness committee because he is refusing to commit to the to present to the committee three written proposals I have prepared to deal with homelessness in Venice.

1486
02:47:38.670 --> 02:47:50.070
Clark Brown: Or to even allow the the committee to to just or or to discuss these with me the first proposal is a revised motion for the Venice neighborhood Council.

1487
02:47:50.460 --> 02:48:00.240
Clark Brown: To meet and confer with the westchester neighborhood Council regarding the Melbourne in which has proposals for homeless safe camping sites.

1488
02:48:00.510 --> 02:48:10.710
Clark Brown: and which the Venice neighborhood Council referred back to the homeless Committee in January, so i'd like to committee to consider a revision of that that motion.

1489
02:48:11.340 --> 02:48:26.640
Clark Brown: The second proposal is a real resolution to require the city and the county to give priority to the people in the Venice neighborhood encampments can live in two hotels, which the city and the county are buying in westchester.

1490
02:48:27.450 --> 02:48:39.360
Clark Brown: The third proposal is my written analysis of a study frank Murphy gave me about the availability of publicly owned vacant lots and West Los Angeles for homeless shelter.

1491
02:48:40.020 --> 02:48:52.770
Clark Brown: I don't contend, the committee has to approve any of these three proposals, but I do contend that it has a duty to consider them and frank, has a duty to submit them to that committee for that purpose.

1492
02:48:53.400 --> 02:49:14.130
Clark Brown: i've sent frank several emails and lifting voicemails about this, but he has not responded to them, this is a big problem because add calm will not consider proposals about homelessness unless the homelessness committee has first considered them so frank is is is the gatekeeper.

1493
02:49:15.870 --> 02:49:30.720
Clark Brown: daffodil as Vice President has a duty under the bylaws to oversee all committees, so I submitted the Board should require her to meet and confer with frank Murphy about this problem, thank you.

1494
02:49:31.470 --> 02:49:46.380
james murez: So let me try and respond the bylaws and the standing rules at this point are fairly clear committee chairs set their agendas and and if frank doesn't want to put it on the agenda that's his prerogative.

1495
02:49:47.760 --> 02:49:59.970
james murez: And I think that you know you're going to have to make your case to him, I hear you that daffodil can certainly try and and see if there's something there that can be worked out between the two of you.

1496
02:50:00.870 --> 02:50:14.820
james murez: But I also understand that that he has heard these before and if what you've proposed is along the same lines, I suspect that he's got a lot of other things that he wants to address.

1497
02:50:15.870 --> 02:50:24.120
james murez: You do have another option if you can get 60 people to agree to any one of your motion proposals.

1498
02:50:24.840 --> 02:50:38.310
james murez: The bylaws do allow you to ask to have the item put directly on the boards agenda it bypasses add calm and it gets directly on the boards agenda, so if you can raise 60 people that are stakeholders in the Community.

1499
02:50:39.120 --> 02:50:54.000
james murez: And can present that that petition to the to the board actually to the Secretary to Melissa she would review it and and you would be able to to get on the agenda, so you do have an office.

1500
02:50:54.000 --> 02:50:59.940
melissa diner : To be handwritten right it can't be like i'm pretty sure people have to like physically sign it right.

1501
02:50:59.970 --> 02:51:08.610
james murez: yeah yeah yeah it has that we have there's there, there is a format for it, I don't remember where it is, I know that one was submitted to us last year.

1502
02:51:09.240 --> 02:51:17.370
james murez: That had to do with rezoning and and that petition was sent in and it's very clear, it has to state what it's for at the top and.

1503
02:51:17.610 --> 02:51:28.650
james murez: It has to have all the people's you know signatures and their and their personal contact information we have to know that their stakeholders, but you can certainly do that Clark it doesn't it's not that you have no option, so you do.

1504
02:51:28.650 --> 02:51:32.640
james murez: have that option and and I think really the the simple solution is.

1505
02:51:33.240 --> 02:51:45.900
james murez: You know, work with frank he's not an unreasonable guy he's been doing this Committee, for a long time and and if he's not hearing your your proposals, the way there are these probably has a reason and you need to hear his reason, just like he needs to hear yours.

1506
02:51:46.080 --> 02:52:02.700
Clark Brown: Well, the problem is that he doesn't respond to emails or phone calls the other point is that these proposals are not really suitable for a petition a petition is suitable for a very simple narrow issue or for a candidate and these proposals are none of that also under the Rules.

1507
02:52:02.700 --> 02:52:05.850
james murez: See I don't want to interrupt you, but I need to because I think the point.

1508
02:52:05.970 --> 02:52:19.410
james murez: That that you're not getting is that maybe your motions are too complicated, maybe, if you could simplify them, then other people like frank, would be able to actually respond to.

1509
02:52:19.890 --> 02:52:30.870
james murez: I think we beat this one into the ground we're not going to get through it tonight we're certainly not going to get anything on on frank's agenda because he's not here to say he's going to do it, let me call on the next person okay.

1510
02:52:32.250 --> 02:52:33.240
james murez: Elizabeth your turn.

1511
02:52:34.950 --> 02:52:54.750
Elizabeth Clay: And I was just going to give clark's support on on the topic that frank, if he hasn't returned emails then there's a duty of care that hasn't been given to to Clark, and if he's telling us that we need to hear it, and we have the opportunity to bring it to the board if we want to and.

1512
02:52:55.770 --> 02:53:02.370
Elizabeth Clay: I don't think that I could stand corrected that these have been heard before in front of the homeless committee if.

1513
02:53:02.910 --> 02:53:04.260
Elizabeth Clay: Sure good answer that.

1514
02:53:04.410 --> 02:53:06.270
james murez: yeah let me, let me interrupt you Elizabeth.

1515
02:53:06.780 --> 02:53:07.530
Clark Brown: responded that.

1516
02:53:07.620 --> 02:53:17.010
james murez: know the road chair the Co chair to the committee is here vicki is here she's heard Clark she's heard the request, she is the Co.

1517
02:53:17.010 --> 02:53:26.280
james murez: chair, she she builds the agenda for frank she posted the agenda for frank she's here and she's shaking her head, yes, those have already been heard.

1518
02:53:27.960 --> 02:53:28.860
vicki halliday: They haven't been heard.

1519
02:53:29.160 --> 02:53:30.240
Clark Brown: that's not correct.

1520
02:53:30.360 --> 02:53:32.070
vicki halliday: Except for the last one.

1521
02:53:33.390 --> 02:53:47.730
vicki halliday: about the land parcels you got that a year or so later after most of us did it has been discussed before previous to you being on the Council or on that committee when you were um.

1522
02:53:49.890 --> 02:54:00.660
vicki halliday: Is it something that frank wants to revisit right now probably not because it's been visited before anything to do with westchester we yes.

1523
02:54:01.710 --> 02:54:17.610
vicki halliday: We are not going to hear it because we had the real dust up with West Chester which is hopefully through jim's work and my talks and nico's and other people in frank's with West Chester to calm that all down we can't go common dear.

1524
02:54:18.780 --> 02:54:33.930
vicki halliday: hotels that are located there are land that's located there for Venice, we have to work with them and the approach initially was all wrong we've spent days and hours and phone calls and emails calming it down.

1525
02:54:34.410 --> 02:54:54.960
vicki halliday: So I would just let this calm down a little bit and go from there, but I think that asking for this specific homelessness people to be put in westchester it that's not even it's not something that we can even put emotion through and that's a CD 11 call.

1526
02:54:57.150 --> 02:54:57.360
james murez: yeah.

1527
02:54:57.870 --> 02:55:03.660
vicki halliday: I know I don't wanna I don't want to have any more animosity between neighborhood Councils.

1528
02:55:03.840 --> 02:55:09.510
Clark Brown: You know it's factually it's factually incorrect that the Venice neighborhood that the homelessness committee.

1529
02:55:10.020 --> 02:55:31.140
Clark Brown: considered any one of these three proposals it didn't consider any of them as an example the revised motion to bonnen calls for meeting and conferring with the westchester neighborhood Council about whether both or one of the two parcels out of La X would be suitable for.

1530
02:55:32.250 --> 02:55:43.920
Clark Brown: homeless encampments That issue has never been considered by the homelessness committee as to whether we should meet and confer with westchester on that issue, the.

1531
02:55:45.270 --> 02:56:00.480
Clark Brown: The proposal my analysis of frank's housing study that he gave me was something I did within the last 30 days so could never have been presented before to the homeless committee.

1532
02:56:02.910 --> 02:56:07.020
Elizabeth Clay: I just asked my hand was raised and i'd like to do a little.

1533
02:56:07.230 --> 02:56:07.830
Clark Brown: Further point.

1534
02:56:08.490 --> 02:56:19.860
Clark Brown: I think Elizabeth raised a good point that frank is not carrying out his duties as chairman in failing to exercise good faith to.

1535
02:56:20.370 --> 02:56:35.250
Clark Brown: communicate with me about these issues, and he has stopped communicating with me about that he doesn't return emails doesn't return telephone calls it's it's it's an abuse of a of the chairman's power it's not the Murphy committee it's the homelessness committee.

1536
02:56:38.340 --> 02:56:39.060
james murez: Thank you Clark.

1537
02:56:39.300 --> 02:56:41.760
vicki halliday: I have more to say, but let let's go first.

1538
02:56:41.850 --> 02:56:43.860
james murez: Okay, go ahead Elizabeth.

1539
02:56:44.190 --> 02:56:52.290
Elizabeth Clay: Okay it's not whether I agree or disagree with clark's point of view it's just about process and i've.

1540
02:56:52.800 --> 02:57:00.300
Elizabeth Clay: received some of the same kind of interaction, where I send many emails and I don't get responses, so I feel forum.

1541
02:57:01.290 --> 02:57:11.490
Elizabeth Clay: on that topic we have a duty to respond to each other in a timely fashion, it should happen if it doesn't happen then someone at a higher level needs to intercede and get it done.

1542
02:57:12.750 --> 02:57:21.240
Elizabeth Clay: And I did take the time to go to the sites and i'm not sure if anyone else on this committee beyond NICO has done that.

1543
02:57:21.600 --> 02:57:33.840
Elizabeth Clay: Okay, and i'd love to know if anyone else has gone to the sites and understands because frankly I didn't I think I was being dismissive because I didn't really understand it, and it was easy to hear West chester's screams.

1544
02:57:34.950 --> 02:57:41.400
Elizabeth Clay: And then, when I actually went looked at the sites, one of them is already being graded out so it's going to be used for arby's so.

1545
02:57:42.630 --> 02:57:51.150
Elizabeth Clay: it's it's already underway so doesn't matter how much West Chester wants to prod protest it's already underway it's a city 11 decision.

1546
02:57:51.690 --> 02:58:10.680
Elizabeth Clay: Okay, and I only found that out because we drove out there and there they were upgrading the site so there's a lot we don't know I think there's a lot we haven't researched, I understand, James why you're as why you don't want to get involved, because the political nightmare for you.

1547
02:58:12.270 --> 02:58:15.660
Elizabeth Clay: NICO don't take don't ported it is.

1548
02:58:17.370 --> 02:58:24.510
Elizabeth Clay: I would like to make sure that all of you, before you decide to turn something down based on West Chester screaming.

1549
02:58:25.290 --> 02:58:32.070
Elizabeth Clay: That you've all comprehensively looked at the sites and then made a research decision.

1550
02:58:32.400 --> 02:58:47.430
Elizabeth Clay: to decline, it because we're not sending Venice is homeless we're sending la homeless, that we all share, and if we keep declining sites, because it has to be in Venice we're going to be in a circle that just goes on for eternity.

1551
02:58:49.260 --> 02:58:51.480
Elizabeth Clay: that's that's all I have to say I think we have.

1552
02:58:51.480 --> 02:58:54.960
Elizabeth Clay: A realistic that we cannot House all of Las homeless.

1553
02:58:55.800 --> 02:58:58.650
james murez: Thank you Elizabeth vicki you wanted to say something.

1554
02:58:58.650 --> 02:59:01.410
vicki halliday: No, I don't I don't want to say anything else about this.

1555
02:59:02.430 --> 02:59:02.910
vicki halliday: I don't.

1556
02:59:03.420 --> 02:59:12.600
vicki halliday: Okay it's fast and Clark um was on the homeless committee he's no longer on the homeless committee for a reason.

1557
02:59:14.010 --> 02:59:18.960
vicki halliday: And it was because it was difficult to work with him and he was bullying.

1558
02:59:20.040 --> 02:59:29.880
vicki halliday: So there we have it, and nutshell Clark has some very good ideas he's very diligent about doing his work, but sometimes no means no.

1559
02:59:33.120 --> 02:59:33.990
vicki halliday: simple as that.

1560
02:59:35.670 --> 02:59:36.180
vicki halliday: i'm done.

1561
02:59:37.140 --> 02:59:39.930
james murez: Okay anybody else have anything on any other topics.

1562
02:59:43.410 --> 02:59:46.980
james murez: Seeing none let's return to our agenda.

1563
02:59:49.350 --> 02:59:50.400
Daffodil Tyminski: I think we can adjourn.

1564
02:59:50.700 --> 02:59:51.900
james murez: I think we can to.

1565
