jim murez: Okay, so.

71
00:13:03.330 --> 00:13:14.940
Daffodil Tyminski: Jim can the staff i'm sorry to butt in here, but I just have a question sure we change the time and meeting to a time when some people just can't attend or how are we tracking the absences.

72
00:13:16.140 --> 00:13:16.920
jim murez: Good question.

73
00:13:16.950 --> 00:13:19.200
melissa diner: I don't think the same way we we always.

74
00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:35.130
melissa diner: Still, I think I mean I don't think just if we posted it within the right amount, and someone can't make it like if it was gonna be like they can't make it and then they'll get kicked off the board or something like that I think you could talk about it, but I don't think it really.

75
00:13:36.270 --> 00:13:38.580
melissa diner: Changes if we do it on a separate day.

76
00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:50.400
jim murez: I think bill I think davidow from the standpoint of what kind of meeting is it, it is classified as our regular monthly meeting.

77
00:13:50.910 --> 00:14:03.540
jim murez: that the date and time was changed is inconvenient, I agree, but I don't think at this point it's anything other than a regular monthly meeting it's certainly not considered a special meeting.

78
00:14:04.680 --> 00:14:13.980
jim murez: This a matter of fact we're not allowed to have a special meeting for what's considered to be a regular meeting so that's why we ended up having it tonight, instead of a special meeting last night.

79
00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:17.670
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, and just to note i'm Mike bravo is here.

80
00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:19.860
jim murez: Oh okay great Mike are you there.

jim murez: Okay, so let's move on.

84
00:14:31.170 --> 00:14:34.410
jim murez: declarations and ex parte communications.

85
00:14:35.640 --> 00:14:53.280
jim murez: i've had several conversations with, I will start off i've had several conversations with the people in the city about one or more of the items on our agenda, and also on with private parties, but other items on the agenda we'll get into that.

86
00:14:53.490 --> 00:14:54.960
jim murez: Further, as we move down.

87
00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:57.750
jim murez: into the actual agenda but we're going to be.

88
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:12.840
jim murez: Not not hearing some of the items tonight as a result of some of those conversations, but i'll get into that after everybody else has a chance to talk about any ex parte communications or conflict of interest, they would like to do.

89
00:15:16.470 --> 00:15:18.540
jim murez: let's see I need to be able to see people now.

90
00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:20.370
jim murez: Once second.

91
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.290
jim murez: Sorry, people and trying to figure out how to do this okay solid go ahead i'm sorry.

92
00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:37.770
soledad ursua: hi I have a question just about conflicts of interest, so I live 533 feet from bridge housing and today at about what time was it.

93
00:15:38.370 --> 00:15:50.310
soledad ursua: At 3:05pm Freddie emailed us and said that if you live within 1000 feet, you have to first talk to the city attorney so I mean that's kind of a huge.

94
00:15:50.640 --> 00:16:03.570
soledad ursua: deviation from what we had originally thought, and so I did email, the city attorney right away, I sent her a print out of zoom us, which shows that I am 533 feet away from breach housing.

95
00:16:03.990 --> 00:16:11.820
soledad ursua: But I haven't gotten a response, so I don't know to do that, I feel like there was very late in the day in the game to change the rules on us.

96
00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:21.120
jim murez: yeah so so after trying to reach the and i'm going to sort of lead, let me answer you and maybe i'll answer other people's questions as well.

97
00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:38.610
jim murez: After trying to reach the city attorney for a week we you know we lost our regular city attorney and we were assigned a new one and, by the time the conversation between myself and the city attorney took place on on the bridge shelter project.

98
00:16:39.630 --> 00:16:55.770
jim murez: It became very clear both to her, and also to myself that we have to postpone that item now what ended up will may end up happening is be because of the timing of things we may end up hearing it in August.

99
00:16:57.030 --> 00:17:08.070
jim murez: At our regular meeting we may also decide that we want to schedule a special meeting just for that one agenda item but there's a lot of issues that have to do with.

100
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:18.930
jim murez: 1000 feet and the city attorney weighing in on it and it's possible because of the way that our bylaws are written.

101
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:36.420
jim murez: We may not be able to hear the project at all, because we cannot conduct an ad COM meeting because we don't have quorum for an ED calm, because for of the members of the eight people body have to recuse themselves, and then we wouldn't have corn for ED calm.

102
00:17:36.690 --> 00:17:37.560
Ivan: yeah we're.

103
00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:39.240
Ivan: Coming for.

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.360
Ivan: Add columns for comic.

105
00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:44.580
jim murez: con is a committee of eight Ivan.

106
00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:48.900
Ivan: In the bylaws that a quorum of four.

107
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.050
jim murez: Okay that's a special by law rules that what that is yeah.

108
00:17:52.110 --> 00:17:53.790
Ivan: There are specific quorum.

109
00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:58.260
jim murez: Okay, so if we have to still look at that it, this is this is.

110
00:17:58.710 --> 00:18:05.790
jim murez: Thank you for clarifying that, but this is still there's there's still a lot of other issues that have to be clarified so we're not hearing it tonight.

111
00:18:06.150 --> 00:18:17.370
jim murez: And anybody that lives within 1000 feet of the bridge shelter needs to individually reach out to the city attorney and I can send you the the the woman's.

112
00:18:17.970 --> 00:18:29.250
jim murez: email address, if you like, and and you eat everybody each needs to have their own individual private conversation through email with her and telephone if it's necessary as well.

113
00:18:30.030 --> 00:18:32.430
Michael Jensen: Okay, so, then we simply asked a city attorney.

114
00:18:32.430 --> 00:18:40.230
Michael Jensen: To show up to where 22 of us are going to be present about on this can they take the time out of their day to do that.

115
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.170
jim murez: I can find out that's an interesting question.

116
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:59.010
jim murez: I don't have any answer this there was a suggestion that was made, and you know we're getting way off topic here, but there was a suggestion that was made of rewriting the motion, and it was determined already that that that's not a proper thing to do.

117
00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:06.330
jim murez: But but we'll get into it more but we'll do it offline individually with a city attorney.

118
00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:09.420
jim murez: NICO you have your hand up go ahead, please.

119
00:19:12.330 --> 00:19:14.370
Nico Ruderman: yeah I can just talk to you offline separately.

120
00:19:14.610 --> 00:19:20.070
jim murez: that's fine okay all right great um did anybody else have their hand up for ex parte communication.

128
00:19:50.580 --> 00:20:01.560
jim murez: I assume that all the committee chairs talk to people about things that were they were doing in their committees and that we don't need to describe unless there was a conflict of interest, so should we move on anybody else.

129
00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:04.170

212
00:31:50.370 --> 00:31:57.420
Dean Zipperman: And I know you guys are probably busy concerned about that as well, so we're working on a plan with them to try and.

213
00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:08.670
Dean Zipperman: get those people housed and get that process going as everybody knows, that's a difficult process, but we had a good discussion yesterday so based on the concern out there.

214
00:32:09.300 --> 00:32:16.170
Dean Zipperman: We sent our F rv firefighter paramedics out there, as you probably recall, we did this on the boardwalk and in Venice area.

215
00:32:16.530 --> 00:32:28.680
Dean Zipperman: We had our our team go out there and they really engage with the homeless population to educate them, so we did that again today along that stretch of Jefferson boulevard and we made eight contacts today.

216
00:32:29.610 --> 00:32:35.310
Dean Zipperman: found some interesting things took a lot of pictures took a lot of intake notes and we're going to be sharing those with the Council office.

217
00:32:36.030 --> 00:32:45.150
Dean Zipperman: To help mitigate some of the things that we've seen but, as you know, we have all that drive vegetation and and there and there's been some fires here lately so.

220
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:07.230
Dean Zipperman: So just so you know that we're very aware of it and we're trying to make.

221
00:33:08.070 --> 00:33:15.900
Dean Zipperman: You know the relationship between all the parties that are necessary to engage back and what we need to do, but but keep in mind, though you.

Dean Zipperman: Just so you know we're finishing up that project we are we, the fire department has been very involved with that.

247
00:36:38.670 --> 00:36:48.180
Janet Turner: constituents and that is the passport agency is having a huge demand for emergency appointments.

248
00:36:49.140 --> 00:37:12.510
Janet Turner: A lot of people are looking at their passport at the last minute and realizing that they can't get to Europe, because now it's required in most countries that you your passport has to be valid for six months from the day you are planning to return so.

249
00:37:14.850 --> 00:37:26.220
Janet Turner: Right now, at least for July and part of August they're telling us that it if you have a flight that's less than five days away.

250
00:37:26.670 --> 00:37:33.450
Janet Turner: We will not be able to get you an appointment, unless it is truly a life and death situation.

251
00:37:34.140 --> 00:37:42.000
Janet Turner: that's not normally the case normally we can even sometimes get you a same day appointment or the next day appointment.

252
00:37:42.750 --> 00:37:58.440
Janet Turner: But there's such a huge demand so many people have not paid attention to their passports so we're just asking please get the word out, you know if anyone's thinking of traveling check your passport early so.

253
00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:03.000
Janet Turner: Then I have some good news so.

254
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:18.540
Janet Turner: Included in the fiscal year 2023 appropriations bill which were expecting the House to vote on very shortly, their congressmen was able to get $500,000 for Venice family clinic.

Janet Turner: and close to $900,000 for St Joseph Center to create an employment job training lab.

Janet Turner: And 3.5 million is is being requested to modernize the hyperion water reclamation plan which, as you know, US had quite a few skills so it's just the first stage very optimistic that this will pass the House very soon and.

260
00:39:16.740 --> 00:39:26.790
Janet Turner: The Senate did okay last year, so fingers crossed we're hoping that the Senate will will approve these wonderful Community projects as well.

jim murez: Can we promote her to panelist and i'm going to stop sharing my screen and allow her to share her screen, this is a woman from heal the bay, that is going to make a 15 minute or less presentation on.

312
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:17.310
jim murez: Water issues for for us there we go there, she is hi good, good evening.

313
00:46:18.480 --> 00:46:22.860
jim murez: If you have a screen, you want to share i've given you the capability of doing so.

314
00:46:23.100 --> 00:46:24.720
Mikaela Randolph: Thank you so much, I appreciate that.

315
00:46:26.040 --> 00:46:43.650
Mikaela Randolph: I will be sharing screen so just give me a second to get that started good afternoon everyone, I really appreciate the opportunity to present to you all around about the safe, clean water program my trying to multitask and a screen, I can do this.

316
00:46:45.330 --> 00:46:53.430
Mikaela Randolph: Okay, is everyone saying this title screen here, Joe okay wonderful so as Jim mentioned my name is Michaela randolph.

317
00:46:53.760 --> 00:47:01.590
Mikaela Randolph: I serve as a senior watershed specialist for heal the bay and also as the watershed coordinator for the central Santa Monica bay.

318
00:47:02.370 --> 00:47:13.140
Mikaela Randolph: Of the La county safe, clean water program so what i'm doing is i'm going around to the neighborhood Councils better it within the central Santa Monica Bay watershed area.

319
00:47:13.560 --> 00:47:26.430
Mikaela Randolph: i'm letting folks know about the safe, clean water program and telling folks how you can get involved and just want to show myself as a resource that's available to you so i'm gonna dive into this presentation and I welcome your questions.

320
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:44.010
Mikaela Randolph: So basically the idea behind the faith clean water program is to really look at La county as a watershed and so no matter where you live we're all connected through these watersheds and so there's a responsibility to.

321
00:47:44.550 --> 00:47:54.300
Mikaela Randolph: One ensure that we are aware of our everyday actions that affect our waterways, such as picking up trash and ensuring that we're not putting.

322
00:47:55.080 --> 00:48:01.380
Mikaela Randolph: toxic chemicals within our waterways that we're disposing of things in a proper way another goal of.

323
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:12.780
Mikaela Randolph: The safe, clean water program is to modernize our 100 year old storm water system so more talking about water racks we're talking about storm water capture and looking at effective ways to.

324
00:48:14.340 --> 00:48:23.040
Mikaela Randolph: Effectively capture our storm water, so we say, even though I heard some conversation around the drought that hill the bay we're starting to.

325
00:48:23.640 --> 00:48:30.600
Mikaela Randolph: Use some language around a ratification so really looking at the dryer climate that we're in that is affecting.

326
00:48:31.290 --> 00:48:44.280
Mikaela Randolph: The amount of rain that we're getting into really looking at it as a climate issue, and then in terms of our water it's not so much that we have a water issue, but we have water management problems and so there's better ways that we can manage our water.

327
00:48:47.160 --> 00:49:01.350
Mikaela Randolph: So what is a watershed For those of you don't know a watershed is any area of land that drains until a specific receiving body of water that is a river stream Labor ocean and in La county we are fortunate enough, where we have all of these.

328
00:49:02.730 --> 00:49:10.500
Mikaela Randolph: So that's just a brief demonstration there, and so, just a brief overview of the safe, clean water program I will say that.

329
00:49:11.010 --> 00:49:22.470
Mikaela Randolph: We try to make our presentations accessible and so you'll see some slides that have both English and Spanish and we can translate all slides you know, depending on the type of presentation that we're getting.

330
00:49:24.600 --> 00:49:34.920
Mikaela Randolph: about the program like I said this kind of these four mission statements of the program to capture our water to increase our local water supply to clean.

331
00:49:35.640 --> 00:49:43.860
Mikaela Randolph: The cleaner cleanest, which is the reduce along the track every just the water way really increasing are improving our water quality.

332
00:49:44.430 --> 00:49:57.270
Mikaela Randolph: To make it safe, so, as I mentioned earlier, to eliminate toxins and chemicals from our waterways and then to make it for everyone so really being a champion for multi benefit project from i'll talk about that a little bit more.

333
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:08.280
Mikaela Randolph: But the way the program is broken up, is that the county is split in some nine watershed areas that's illustrated here by this map and, as I mentioned, I am.

334
00:50:08.580 --> 00:50:20.700
Mikaela Randolph: The watershed coordinator for the central Santa Monica Bay each watershed area has at least one watershed coordinator central Santa Monica Bay actually has two, so I share this work with my colleague muscles brothers.

335
00:50:21.690 --> 00:50:36.690
Mikaela Randolph: And upper la river also have three watershed coordinators, because of the geographic size of both of our watershed areas, and also the amount of funding that we get through the tax which i'll talk to you about in a second.

336
00:50:38.310 --> 00:50:45.300
Mikaela Randolph: So this is me and my colleague, Michelle struthers we're both here to provide guidance on the program and do.

337
00:50:46.380 --> 00:51:01.200
Mikaela Randolph: A lot of outreach and engagement is really what our major role is as watershed coordinator so we're basically an extension of the La county flood control districts, all of us watershed coordinators to talk about the program and to potentially solicit.

338
00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:10.230
Mikaela Randolph: projects for the program and kind of talk to people about potential projects that are happening within their watershed area or in their community.

339
00:51:10.890 --> 00:51:20.490
Mikaela Randolph: So just a better look at what the central Santa Monica Bay watershed area like a closer look at our map, as you can tell there's a large part of the city of Los Angeles, that is represented.

340
00:51:21.150 --> 00:51:37.680
Mikaela Randolph: In a lot of that water management is managed by city of La la fam but the watershed area also includes the city of beverly hills culver city Santa Monica portions of the city of Inglewood portions of the city of El Segundo and West Hollywood.

341
00:51:38.910 --> 00:51:51.390
Mikaela Randolph: And then we share so we these boundaries are shared so actually another colleague of mine at hula Bay is the watershed watership coordinator for South Santa Monica Bay, which represents a lot of the stuff he studies.

342
00:51:53.070 --> 00:52:05.160
Mikaela Randolph: So basically the way the program is back in 2018 voters voted to tax ourselves on impermeable surfaces, because we were given data that says when it rains.

343
00:52:05.730 --> 00:52:24.360
Mikaela Randolph: You know, billions of gallons of water or just being going into the ocean, without being treated without being captured and so that really affects our ability and our local water supply, so what we voted for is a two and a half cents per square foot of impermeable surface.

344
00:52:25.560 --> 00:52:35.400
Mikaela Randolph: And so what this money does is it finds watershed based projects and local and regional projects right so there's three components of the project there's the regional Program.

345
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:43.140
Mikaela Randolph: Which is really most of interest to neighborhood would be most of the interest and neighborhood Council was received about 50% of the annual returns.

346
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:53.820
Mikaela Randolph: there's a municipal program so every municipality within the watershed area gets 40% of those tax returns and then there's the district program where 10%.

347
00:52:54.720 --> 00:53:02.580
Mikaela Randolph: Of that just goes to the flood control district for the administration and management of the program and that's also where the 12 watershed coordinators live.

348
00:53:04.560 --> 00:53:07.590
Mikaela Randolph: So just to give you a snapshot of what these annual.

349
00:53:07.590 --> 00:53:09.150
Mikaela Randolph: returns look like this is a.

350
00:53:09.240 --> 00:53:22.230
Mikaela Randolph: For the regional program, so this is a, as you can tell central Santa Monica bag is a pretty large chunk at 17.8 million about annually and again that money.

351
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:32.520
Mikaela Randolph: is then reinvested into communities and Phillip split between those three program that I mentioned earlier, municipal, regional and then the flood control districts.

352
00:53:36.570 --> 00:53:47.040
Mikaela Randolph: So my role is a watershed coordinator is really taking the Community to the program to engage you all, and what this program could possibly.

353
00:53:47.670 --> 00:53:58.140
Mikaela Randolph: Do for your community, as you think about Community improvement projects and just do some basic general education on watersheds why they're important really bringing.

354
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:12.780
Mikaela Randolph: Because I think storm water is not necessarily top of mind for everyone, so how we capture our water is not something that everyone is thinking about but there'll be some engaging things that will continue to do to make this a more prevalent issue and everyday angeleno.

355
00:54:14.430 --> 00:54:15.660
Mikaela Randolph: So some really.

356
00:54:17.070 --> 00:54:21.450
Mikaela Randolph: I would say, dynamic fundable storm water bottles that we're looking at.

357
00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:28.260
Mikaela Randolph: And I think that neighborhood councils can champion is if you're working on any like street improvements or alleyway improvement.

358
00:54:28.530 --> 00:54:44.220
Mikaela Randolph: beginning about green street and we can have a conversation with a municipality around what are the water supply or water quality needs other program also file swells infiltration ponds or parks.

359
00:54:45.270 --> 00:54:57.240
Mikaela Randolph: You know revitalizing parking lot so that there's more opportunities to break up some of the impermeable surfaces and make more permeable services So these are just like a snapshot and one of the.

360
00:54:57.810 --> 00:55:03.930
Mikaela Randolph: Areas where we're really looking to build more ground in his area green schoolyards so we know in La county.

361
00:55:04.320 --> 00:55:17.340
Mikaela Randolph: Most a lot of our school districts in our school yards are just covered an apple and we really see this as an opportunity to change how our schools are able to function with less impermeable surfaces.

362
00:55:19.050 --> 00:55:33.540
Mikaela Randolph: So the program each watershed area has a steering committee or a one off our watershed areas steering committee for the central Santa Monica Bay, this is a snapshot of who have who currently serves on your Steering Committee.

363
00:55:34.200 --> 00:55:42.480
Mikaela Randolph: You can see Michelle and I are on the watershed areas Steering Committee, but we are non voting members, so it is our job to get involved in.

364
00:55:42.930 --> 00:56:01.500
Mikaela Randolph: Potential projects, as well as existing projects that are going to before the walk, and so we just elevate our voice around Community engagement, what does that process look like have they reached out to us that they ask us for any guidance on their Community engagement around the project.

365
00:56:02.700 --> 00:56:09.750
Mikaela Randolph: And just provide resources and tools for project so that's why we're not voting because we are so heavily involved in some of the projects.

366
00:56:10.410 --> 00:56:22.110
Mikaela Randolph: I will also just take a step back and say that the watershed coordinator position is relatively new many of us are just finishing, our first year and starting our second year of this work and so.

367
00:56:22.560 --> 00:56:37.620
Mikaela Randolph: that's why in year one you really probably didn't know that we existed, because we're kind of the only ones that are you know spinning our nine to five, if you will, thinking about this project and thinking about how to engage the Community.

368
00:56:38.850 --> 00:56:51.630
Mikaela Randolph: The other thing that I want to share with you is that the walk or watershed areas Steering Committee have meeting, most of the time McGlade so as you can tell, this is a timely presentation, for you all, because our next.

369
00:56:52.800 --> 00:57:02.400
Mikaela Randolph: watershed areas steering committee for central Santa Monica Bay is coming up on Tuesday from 10 to 12 and what you will see, and the only thing currently on the agenda is.

370
00:57:03.090 --> 00:57:16.560
Mikaela Randolph: The strategic outreach and engagement plan and that's really Michelle and I effort to articulate to the last in the general Community how we plan to go about doing this outreach engagement on behalf of the Program.

371
00:57:17.370 --> 00:57:28.320
Mikaela Randolph: We were fortunate enough to get our contract renewed for a second year, so we're just updating and existing strategic outreach and engagement plan and employing a few different tactics and strategies.

372
00:57:29.910 --> 00:57:44.100
Mikaela Randolph: So Lastly, I just want to alert you of this application process timeline in short there's a deadline for this fiscal year 2324 of July 31 2022 so we know that's an 11 days.

373
00:57:44.640 --> 00:57:54.030
Mikaela Randolph: This presentation is not for you all to be like Oh, we need to like get in and submit something because it's quite a laborious process to apply for this.

374
00:57:54.420 --> 00:58:03.000
Mikaela Randolph: But as you are thinking about what's coming down the Pike for you all in terms of any type of infrastructure projects we want you to think be thinking.

375
00:58:03.990 --> 00:58:10.290
Mikaela Randolph: You know, with multiple lenses I would say, like there's multiple problems will will come up with multiple solutions, and you know the.

376
00:58:10.950 --> 00:58:25.620
Mikaela Randolph: tend to be like the most dynamic project so there's anything that's where the Council is thinking about championing whether that's a street improvement or a park or anything like that, and you can think about stormwater than I invite you to come, have a conversation with me.

377
00:58:26.700 --> 00:58:36.750
Mikaela Randolph: And then, this deadline is like every July 31 so we can start early, so the meeting about what's happening for July 31 2023 again it's a pretty laborious process.

378
00:58:38.040 --> 00:58:48.210

539
01:16:56.970 --> 01:17:03.720

jim murez: Thank you hi um.

543
01:17:34.470 --> 01:17:40.860
jim murez: So I think that takes care of the committee's, although I see solids hand is up a solid, you want to say something about a committee report.

544
01:17:41.970 --> 01:17:55.530
soledad ursua: I just have a request, I was wondering if boardman elected board members could do comments again at the beginning of the of our report so we've done is we've moved elected board members to the very end and.

545
01:17:55.590 --> 01:18:04.530
soledad ursua: Yes, some I was hoping you guys would reconsider, because we have elected board members by the people who are halfway to the end of a meeting to give any kind of report or update.

546
01:18:05.670 --> 01:18:13.650
jim murez: Right well i'm committee could board members are supposed to be participating in committees and if the committee wants to have the board member.

547
01:18:14.580 --> 01:18:24.690
jim murez: make a report of some sort that would be great um other than that yeah it's at the end of the agenda for now we can we can move it farther forward if that's what everybody wants to.

548
01:18:25.080 --> 01:18:28.230
soledad ursua: use for public comment, and I would go after public comment.

549
01:18:29.160 --> 01:18:36.000
jim murez: Okay, we can talk about it offline, though not now, so I just up okay go ahead and lower your hand for me, would you please let him.

550
01:18:37.980 --> 01:18:50.730
jim murez: We do have a vacancy for for a permanent treasure and a Community officer position along with an opening for a loop pack Member, I want to make everybody aware of that.

551
01:18:52.230 --> 01:18:57.960
jim murez: And, and the applications are up on the website, I believe, at this point that I know that there was some problems getting.

552
01:18:59.010 --> 01:19:12.270
jim murez: The treasures up because it had been I don't know 12 or 14 years since the last treasures application was produced and some things had changed, we had to make sure we got it right, but there's they should be there now.

553
01:19:13.740 --> 01:19:16.020
jim murez: And then, for the elections in.

554
01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:27.690
jim murez: Which Freddie described earlier going to take place in March of 2023 so it's what is that about nine months away.

555
01:19:29.310 --> 01:19:36.360
jim murez: Because we had a lot of discussion in the last election cycle about how should the elections be run.

556
01:19:36.870 --> 01:19:51.060
jim murez: I have decided that the best thing we should do is is ask for a request for proposals from anybody that would like to make a proposal about how the elections should be run and we'll take a look at that and decide.

557
01:19:52.080 --> 01:20:05.100
jim murez: As as a committee, rules and selections of what ideas and what personnel or what people might be best suited to do that, so if you have if anybody in the Community has any interest in being.

558
01:20:06.150 --> 01:20:15.570
jim murez: in charge of our elections for 2023 Please submit a proposal I have described here what some of the issues might be that we need to consider, but of course we have.

559
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:22.410
jim murez: Things like like a timeline of when you think that meetings, need to be held and applications, need to be sent out and.

560
01:20:22.650 --> 01:20:28.770
jim murez: things need to be done, what sort of money you want to spend how you want to reach out to the Community, do you want to do it in direct mail.

561
01:20:29.010 --> 01:20:35.370
jim murez: Maybe you want to do it just electronically, maybe you want to do lawn signs all the all the different kinds of things you can think of, but maybe you want to fly.

562
01:20:35.940 --> 01:20:42.420
jim murez: banners behind airplanes up and down the beach but, whatever the idea is feel free to put it in your request.

563
01:20:42.750 --> 01:20:53.130
jim murez: And if you could send that off to all of her Fries at Venice nc.org and a copy to the secretary of Venice nc.org we will take a look at that, in the August meeting.

564
01:20:53.550 --> 01:21:07.560
jim murez: And and see if it's possible to to start to formulate me we don't have anything in August and we'll try for September, but we need to come up with a game plan and we want to get everybody's input on what they came plan should look like i'm.

565
01:21:07.650 --> 01:21:08.190

568
01:21:18.180 --> 01:21:25.260
jim murez: Well, I don't know that we have a deadline at this point because we've had such a small turnout, but certainly it would be great if we could have them before the next meeting.

Daffodil Tyminski: Well let's set a deadline, because I think we need I mean lubec needs their person, you know.

740
01:34:09.930 --> 01:34:16.470
Lisa Redmond: The leadership in this current seated board is really terrible.

741
01:34:17.700 --> 01:34:21.180
Lisa Redmond: you've had seven special meetings in the last 12 months.

742
01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:29.520

751
01:35:23.310 --> 01:35:30.720
Helen Fallon: I like to point out that in the past applications for board positions were just turned in.

752
01:35:31.260 --> 01:35:41.040
Helen Fallon: At the Ad con meeting we are subject to some 72 hour prior review by add con people turn their applications are posted for review.

753
01:35:41.460 --> 01:35:50.040
Helen Fallon: by the board and by the public, so people can comment on them I don't understand suddenly now who's going to be shifting it forward.

754
01:35:50.310 --> 01:35:56.250
Helen Fallon: And you just started posting and you don't even have the due date up, and it should be at con meeting as.

755
01:35:56.760 --> 01:36:13.890
Helen Fallon: Probably is reflected in your standing rule, I suggest you look at them and see how you followed in the past and again Jim the tone of the meeting is set by the leadership and you will allow some really snarky comments to go on during these meetings and you need to put a stop to it.

756
01:36:17.190 --> 01:36:19.440
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you Helen i'm.

759
01:36:43.230 --> 01:36:52.080
James: And it's really not right that you guys rush people off public comment like that, because i've been seeing that stuff everywhere about him.

760
01:36:53.910 --> 01:36:55.650
James: So it must be true.

761
01:37:02.970 --> 01:37:04.140

766
01:37:45.450 --> 01:37:49.710

767
01:37:50.340 --> 01:38:04.530
Eric C: More detailed list of the requirements and you know, like the time commitment so like a more detailed drop responsibility essentially I think that'd be great for just a little more clarity on what goes into the roles and I see my time.

Rebecca Kramer: Okay, I know this isn't directly responsibility, but maybe it's something you can assist with i'm i'm somewhat disabled not majorly but a little um the first starts Constance there's a bus stop roughly across from Westminster park that's been closed down a time.

775
01:38:52.410 --> 01:39:05.400
Rebecca Kramer: and nail box is there any I know this isn't directly what you do, but maybe you we have access, who does any way, we could get more of those are closer it's kind of hard for me i'm sure it's hard for for older people.

782
01:39:33.450 --> 01:39:46.080
Christopher Lee: The first time from Helen there's no reason to mock our stakeholders that have more regular attendance and our board members that should be commended, rather than marks, so please Jim, as the President of our Council.

783
01:39:46.800 --> 01:39:54.180
Christopher Lee: Make sure that our board members that here to the code of conduct and take necessary actions to make it so secondly to eric's point if.

Christopher Lee: outreach could go ahead and post job descriptions or the level of commitment required for these board seats I would be greatly appreciated, so that we can continue to inform our stakeholders.

785
01:40:03.780 --> 01:40:07.230
Christopher Lee: that's what's required to be part of the dnc and what it will take.

786
01:40:07.710 --> 01:40:21.480
Christopher Lee: To contribute to the board as i'd like to see more stakeholders get involved in the conversation rather than continue to see a board fall apart as we've had so many board members leave during this current term I can see the rest of my time.

Shay: Advertising signs if he's still with us, maybe he could flush that out a bit for me because signage is under the sign ordinance, which is the purview not of public works, but of the planning department.

794
01:41:51.900 --> 01:42:05.190
Shay: And so i'm curious do we know or can we have a conversation at some point on a future agenda about what this is because those are very distracting, especially the digital ones for drivers.

795
01:42:05.670 --> 01:42:23.160
Shay: They can cause accidents whatnot and I speak as a city planner myself who's written and sign ordinances so i'm just very curious, and thank you all so much for your service it's very much appreciate it, I know I don't tune in all the time.

796
01:42:25.050 --> 01:42:25.770
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you sure.

797
01:42:27.390 --> 01:42:29.220
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, so we will close public comment.

798
01:42:30.570 --> 01:42:37.620
jim murez: Thank you and Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments, we do have committee people that are online tonight.

799
01:42:38.220 --> 01:42:45.720
jim murez: For the neighborhood committee for parking and transportation promotion for a walk i'm sure that things dealing with things like bus shelters and signage and.

800
01:42:46.080 --> 01:43:00.180
jim murez: And mailboxes and things like that will be taken up by those committees we don't typically get into a one on one response, but we will make sure that the the time commitments for the various openings are posted someplace.

801
01:43:02.160 --> 01:43:06.870
jim murez: So with that let's move on treasurer's report J go ahead.

802
01:43:17.310 --> 01:43:18.960
jim murez: Jay are you still with us.

803
01:43:19.890 --> 01:43:20.760
jay handal: Okay, is here.

804
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:23.640
jim murez: Okay, you got you got you got the floor, sir.

805
01:43:26.280 --> 01:43:30.840
jay handal: So you can see from the report on your screen.

806
01:43:34.170 --> 01:43:36.990
jay handal: What i'm trying to do is put in some processes.

807
01:43:38.310 --> 01:43:50.070
jay handal: So that moving forward, everyone knows how to apply for money when to apply for money when it will be reviewed and when they can expect to see money.

808
01:43:51.000 --> 01:44:03.270
jay handal: And I think this is a a very good formal way for the Community to have a transparent process where they don't have to guess and we don't just throw.

809
01:44:03.780 --> 01:44:14.970
jay handal: You know emails out to the Community saying hey we have money come apply and it's also a fair way to divide up the money so that nobody gets all the money.

810
01:44:15.540 --> 01:44:27.720
jay handal: And nobody gets all the money and everybody gets a shot at getting some money, so you know we've given a lot of thought to it, and I think it makes sense to implement this.

811
01:44:28.500 --> 01:44:36.750
jay handal: can always be changed it's a standing rule moving forward, but I think this is something that we should adopt and move forward with for the future.

812
01:44:41.190 --> 01:44:45.960
jim murez: i'm Jay can you explain a little bit about the the financial numbers that are there.

813
01:44:47.580 --> 01:44:59.580
jay handal: Sure, so these numbers that you see at the bottom of the screen, these are the numbers of where we started when I became treasurer and where we were going.

814
01:45:00.480 --> 01:45:08.640
jay handal: To try and spend the money to the end of the year, which is why i'm trying to get processes in So you can see that there were.

815
01:45:09.330 --> 01:45:22.950
jay handal: two items for video equipment that is still pending, I haven't heard and no or yes, yet from the Clerk clerk came back originally and said, these are unapproved expenses for the type of equipment.

816
01:45:23.700 --> 01:45:33.300
jay handal: We reached out to and they said because done won't approve it, so of course we reached out to done, and done sent an email saying yes, this is a good as expense.

817
01:45:33.810 --> 01:45:40.950
jay handal: So you know it's still sitting at the city clerk we haven't received a formal yes or no bond those two expenses.

818
01:45:41.460 --> 01:45:58.830
jay handal: The web we tried to pay for the year they rejected it, you can't pay for a year, the Argonaut was paid the annual payment for storage was not paid again it was an annual payment we tried to get through, and it wouldn't allow you know, a forward payment like that.

819
01:46:00.030 --> 01:46:10.110
jay handal: We had anticipated expenses in June things like Facebook, you know just your regular recurring expenses that the city paid.

820
01:46:10.710 --> 01:46:28.380
jay handal: On our behalf, because at that time we didn't have a credit card, because I can't hold a credit card, because I already hold one for West la and you're not allowed to hold two so you're only allowed to steal money from one, not two makes no sense to me but it's a city.

821
01:46:30.630 --> 01:46:43.830
jay handal: And then there's $10,000 in rollover funds that will be in our account on August one so ultimately where we thought we were going to end up losing losing about 78 or 79 cents.

822
01:46:44.760 --> 01:47:05.550
jay handal: Without the decision yet on the first two items were losing about 20 $200 out of the budget, which is about 10% of what we would have lost had you not have a treasurer and move things through so that's the right the recap of these numbers on the report.

823
01:47:06.090 --> 01:47:14.790
jim murez: All right, great that's that's great to hear, because there was several people in different committee meetings that were claiming that we lost everything and it's good to know that that's not the case.

824
01:47:15.630 --> 01:47:21.270
jim murez: So, so if you're done with your report there, do you want to talk about the murder report at all.

825
01:47:21.780 --> 01:47:24.840
jay handal: So there are no more reports and i'll tell you why.

826
01:47:25.980 --> 01:47:33.120
jay handal: We have two reports outstanding that I cannot download I got an email today from shauna in the clerk's office.

827
01:47:34.350 --> 01:47:45.270
jay handal: We were waiting for certain receipts and to get those receipts they had to be uploaded and then, once they're uploaded to the clerks portal, they have to be reviewed.

828
01:47:45.630 --> 01:47:55.830
jay handal: And they haven't been reviewed that yet and because any expenditure that's on an m er, which is a monthly expense report for those who don't know the acronym.

829
01:47:56.490 --> 01:48:07.920
jay handal: Any expenses that have not been reviewed on an m er they will not release the me off for approval until they approve all the expenses on the M er.

830
01:48:08.430 --> 01:48:25.590
jay handal: So we have two outstanding that we are not able to pull yet I am still working with the city clerk to get them to approve the two transactions, one on each one was the Argonaut for $500 and the other one was constant contact.

831
01:48:27.270 --> 01:48:38.460
jay handal: For a couple of hundred dollars once they approve them and they unflagging them, they will release it we will print it and hopefully they'll both be on the next monthly agenda.

832
01:48:39.120 --> 01:48:45.780
jim murez: Okay, great Thank you alright so then let's let's move on, we have nothing to vote on, there we don't have a report.

833
01:48:48.660 --> 01:48:49.650
jim murez: Now we have.

834
01:48:51.210 --> 01:49:02.220
jim murez: General consent items I don't believe we have any we have a budget fallacy I think budget approval yeah we had general consent items we had a budget approval.

835
01:49:02.880 --> 01:49:14.610
jim murez: And a new ad hoc committee, these were both submitted by rules and selections both at 600 votes does anybody want to pull these items off of general consent.

836
01:49:17.400 --> 01:49:21.240
jim murez: skin anybody that wants to an opportunity to read those two.

837
01:49:27.270 --> 01:49:28.710

jim murez: Do you have a problem with either of these.

855
01:50:41.250 --> 01:50:45.210

925
01:55:43.980 --> 01:56:05.100
jay handal: sure you know vetting means that you know, a group that committee will get together and they'll look at the item itself once the treasure a has determined that it fits the criteria for clerk funding, then it goes to the committee who will determine.

926
01:56:06.510 --> 01:56:25.200
jay handal: That its proper to send to the board, based on the guidelines that the Venice neighborhood Council has ultimately the only one who can approve is the board the Board will approve it or not approve them, so the bending is to get it to the board itself.

927
01:56:26.250 --> 01:56:29.670
Michael Jensen: Does it go through a vote through your committee.

928

930
01:56:35.970 --> 01:56:39.240
jay handal: Talking about the item itself being voted on by the Budget Committee.

931
01:56:40.440 --> 01:56:46.500
Michael Jensen: Correct yeah I mean the analog and like for a loop back project, the committee votes on something to send it to the board.

932
01:56:47.280 --> 01:56:58.770
jay handal: Right, so if the board determines that it's the budget and Finance Committee who will vet it then the budget and Finance Committee will vary and then approve it to send it to the board.

933
01:57:01.140 --> 01:57:04.020
jay handal: If the board determines that they want to have a panel.

934
01:57:05.040 --> 01:57:13.620
jay handal: You know that that will be approved by the board to do the vetting of these financial matters, these NP jeans and see if fees.

935
01:57:14.520 --> 01:57:23.670
jay handal: Then the board can appoint a group of people to look at it and then send it, for I would recommend it the budget and Finance Committee actually be the one.

936
01:57:24.390 --> 01:57:32.760
jay handal: To you know, look at it vet it make sure it's all proper and then send it to the board we're not in it for the merit that's not our job.

937
01:57:34.080 --> 01:57:36.930
jay handal: You know form form and structure.

938
01:57:38.670 --> 01:57:39.180
jay handal: that's it.

939
01:57:40.680 --> 01:57:47.220
jim murez: So Jay just to make sure that i'm clear on what you're saying by vetting you mean that that the.

940
01:57:48.300 --> 01:58:01.410
jim murez: that the budget and Finance Committee will will review the material that's being submitted, they will then take a vote and determine that it's okay to move forward and then it will go on to the Boards agenda is that basic.

941
01:58:01.440 --> 01:58:23.580
jay handal: Correct correct it's not the budget finance committee's job, nor is it within their power to make the ultimate decision if it doesn't fit the criteria for what we fund, it can be rejected at the Community level, because you know they're missing a 501 C three letter okay missing.

942
01:58:23.850 --> 01:58:25.620
jay handal: You know, certain documentation.

943
01:58:26.160 --> 01:58:33.930
jay handal: hundred thousand net it goes to the board for approval, you know whether you like you know building billboards and that's what your funding or.

944
01:58:34.770 --> 01:58:35.790
jay handal: site yeah.

945
01:58:35.820 --> 01:58:42.090
jim murez: Let me, let me interrupt you, I think that that answered mchale let's come back to it in one second daffodil you have your hand up.

946
01:58:42.750 --> 01:58:50.670
Daffodil Tyminski: Yes, if I remember I I do think the language could be tweaked and improved I, if I remember correctly, though.

947
01:58:52.560 --> 01:58:58.590
Daffodil Tyminski: When we were at the meeting, the purpose of our approval tonight is to send this to the rules and selection committee.

948
01:59:00.180 --> 01:59:04.500
jim murez: Well, rules, a selection rules and selection submitted this.

949
01:59:06.660 --> 01:59:10.680
jay handal: yeah Mr chair, I believe, rules and selections already seen it.

950
01:59:12.150 --> 01:59:18.300
jay handal: really did zero and now it's falling did a boy to be codified and put into the standing rules.

951
01:59:18.630 --> 01:59:32.220
jim murez: yeah 616 was originally heard by budget and finance the wording was worked out and budget and finance voted to send it to rules, rules and then sent it onto the board after they heard it.

952
01:59:32.970 --> 01:59:34.470
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, my mistake that i've called it.

953
01:59:34.560 --> 01:59:45.960
jim murez: yeah no not a problem and how would you suggest cleaning up the language mchale you still have your hand up did you have a cough or excuse me, let me first take Mike Mike you have your hand up.

954
01:59:46.530 --> 01:59:55.710
Mike Bravo: yeah I have a concern about possibly wasting time um because it's all financial items sold, the first thing that comes to mind is outreach lot of times.

955
01:59:56.310 --> 02:00:09.060
Mike Bravo: They are kind of on a strict timeline are trying to get things done a lot of times lake city notices, or what have you, and then you have any financing to you know get their outreach outs and that seems like an extra like just.

956
02:00:10.590 --> 02:00:15.450
Mike Bravo: tedious step that might just you know kind of make don't falter in terms of getting stuff done.

957
02:00:15.990 --> 02:00:17.610
Mike Bravo: And now, so.

958
02:00:17.700 --> 02:00:18.960
Mike Bravo: I can answer that one.

959
02:00:18.990 --> 02:00:19.290
jay handal: Real.

960
02:00:19.320 --> 02:00:20.940
jay handal: quickly and saved yeah i'm.

961
02:00:21.030 --> 02:00:23.340
jim murez: Excuse me, whichever one second Mike are you done.

962
02:00:23.700 --> 02:00:24.510
Mike Bravo: Yes, thank you.

963
02:00:24.540 --> 02:00:26.970
jim murez: Okay Jay go ahead, please you want to respond to that.

964
02:00:27.030 --> 02:00:31.530
jay handal: Oh, so my committee committee expenditures run a different route.

965
02:00:32.700 --> 02:00:40.860
jay handal: So you know you the committee submits a budget and the Budgets approved let's say the committee says $1,000 in advertising.

966
02:00:41.700 --> 02:00:50.370
jay handal: When the Committee is ready to advertise they go directly to the board with an expenditure with a vendor and an amount and the board approves it.

967
02:00:50.820 --> 02:01:04.710
jay handal: And the committee gets the money it doesn't go back to the budget it doesn't go through a process so there's a there's a whole separate section about committee and board expenditures different than ci peas and NP James.

968
02:01:06.420 --> 02:01:09.930
jim murez: And, and so so Mike just to make it real clear.

969
02:01:10.530 --> 02:01:21.150
jim murez: All financial items must be vetted that would be the budget that the committee was asking for, so if it was outreach and they were proposing a budget, they would submit that budget to.

970
02:01:21.510 --> 02:01:32.730
jim murez: The Finance Committee, first the board would then approve that as a as the budget as part of the overall budget of the dnc which can always be modified later.

971
02:01:33.840 --> 02:01:40.710
jim murez: And then, once that budgets already approved if they just want to spend it they come directly to the board to now spend that amount of money.

972
02:01:41.850 --> 02:01:42.570
jim murez: Is that clear.

973
02:01:43.020 --> 02:01:44.370
Mike Bravo: yeah Okay, thank you.

974
02:01:44.700 --> 02:01:47.130
jim murez: All right, cj you have your hand up.

975
02:01:49.260 --> 02:02:04.110
CJ Cole: All right, okay um i'm part of the rules and selections committee and this has gotten totally past what we did Okay, we were not considering things that were budgeted we were considering any request.

976
02:02:04.860 --> 02:02:14.550
CJ Cole: for something that cost money has to go through the treasure or the you know finding on the Budget Committee.

977
02:02:15.180 --> 02:02:24.510
CJ Cole: And this is why you know this happened at the end of the year, when all of a sudden, all those things really organized and whatever else.

978
02:02:24.960 --> 02:02:34.680
CJ Cole: You know that still haven't been approved, you know someone went ahead and did the air for advertising without getting permission to do it, and you know it's.

979
02:02:35.250 --> 02:02:47.310
CJ Cole: Just because of budget has you know $20,000 in outreach that doesn't mean outreach can spend the money and the old way they still have to have the line item approved as far as.

980
02:02:47.730 --> 02:02:59.580
CJ Cole: This is what we discussed in our meeting and it didn't have anything to do with you know CIS or whatever they are you know the.

981
02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:08.130
jim murez: cj let me, let me, let me stop you for a second, let me just repeat what I just said to Mike if the budget is approved by the board.

982
02:03:08.670 --> 02:03:21.360
jim murez: They don't have to go back to the Finance Committee to get the budget modified, they have to come to the board to get approval for the expense Okay, that has not changed.

983
02:03:21.780 --> 02:03:29.790
jim murez: But what this is saying that all financial matters, meaning that original budget has to first be approved by the committee.

984
02:03:30.390 --> 02:03:43.290
jim murez: And then it goes on to now if it's something outside the budget if it's something that it was not considered for budgeting items, then it would also have to still go back to budget and finance before it goes to the board.

985
02:03:43.410 --> 02:03:48.840
CJ Cole: What i'm saying is that the way our budget is done, it is not that specific.

986
02:03:50.160 --> 02:03:55.980
CJ Cole: You know so i'm saying what there is is lump sums that the whole concept is that you know.

987
02:03:56.880 --> 02:04:14.010
CJ Cole: He you know it's just you know it's not like outreach has you know $2,000 they can spend on advertising for the year and then they can spend another $500 on little tchaikovsky's to give out, you know it's just that they have a whole budget.

988
02:04:14.940 --> 02:04:33.210
CJ Cole: You know, have a large amount of money and the whole, the whole thing came out of the fact that the budget is is probably the budget isn't identified enough, but just because there's $20,000 in someone's budget it doesn't mean they can just spend any old way.

989
02:04:34.980 --> 02:04:37.650
jim murez: So Are you suggesting a modified motion.

990
02:04:38.430 --> 02:04:41.010
jay handal: camera the way to go, Jim please.

991
02:04:42.390 --> 02:04:43.080
CJ Cole: motion.

992
02:04:43.950 --> 02:04:45.810
CJ Cole: moved away we mentioned.

993
02:04:46.050 --> 02:04:47.010
jim murez: One of the.

994
02:04:47.790 --> 02:04:50.400
CJ Cole: Expenses not ones do.

995
02:04:51.420 --> 02:04:51.990
CJ Cole: anything.

996
02:04:52.350 --> 02:04:52.770
Okay.

997
02:04:54.360 --> 02:04:56.970
jim murez: hang on hang on cj one second go ahead Jay.

998
02:04:57.330 --> 02:05:01.350
jay handal: Okay i'm sorry, but what you're hearing is not correct.

999
02:05:02.940 --> 02:05:03.360
jay handal: In what.

1000
02:05:04.320 --> 02:05:11.880
jay handal: me and what we propose what has been proposed, is it number one, there was a whole section.

1001
02:05:13.230 --> 02:05:24.840
jay handal: Of the city clerk's rules on how committees get their money and that's to be codified in the Standing rules, and that is where she is correct.

1002
02:05:25.470 --> 02:05:32.310
jay handal: You can't just spend your money because it says $1,000 for advertising, you have to go back to the board.

1003
02:05:32.910 --> 02:05:41.790
jay handal: And you have to ask the board to approve this printer for this much money for this much advertising so she's right in that respect.

1004
02:05:42.300 --> 02:05:50.760
jay handal: But she's incorrect and saying that's not what we're proposing that is exactly what we're proposing, so what happened in this last fiscal year.

1005
02:05:51.360 --> 02:05:56.430
jay handal: Is that sometimes that didn't happen, and that was the whole purpose of putting together.

1006
02:05:56.970 --> 02:06:08.730
jay handal: These processes and procedures to ensure moving forward that we comply with the city clerk's rules of funding and we don't get in a jam up with anybody.

1007
02:06:09.240 --> 02:06:21.060
jay handal: about spending money we didn't have the authorization to spend so I agreed with what she's saying about what the procedure should be, which is exactly what we propose.

1008
02:06:21.750 --> 02:06:28.800
jay handal: So I would urge everybody to move forward on this and vote for it, you get it codified, and we shouldn't have these problems anymore.

1009
02:06:29.370 --> 02:06:30.360
jim murez: Okay, thank you Jay.

1010
02:06:30.630 --> 02:06:31.080

1020
02:07:09.660 --> 02:07:28.770
Sima Kostovetsky: Focus I want people to understand that we submitted a back, which is a board action votes and the Clerk was very much well aware of our timeline and all documents were submitted and pre approved so for the record, let me just put that out there.

1021
02:07:29.070 --> 02:07:29.970
Sima Kostovetsky: And also.

1022
02:07:30.150 --> 02:07:43.080

jim murez: Okay let's get through the list let's keep it on topic everybody knows what the item is for an officer adds the following rules, rules and selections each PNC.

1069
02:10:37.380 --> 02:10:53.010
jim murez: ad hoc committee shall begin its existence, immediately following its creation by the Board of officers and the dnc presidential name the ad hoc committee chair within 31 days of its creation we're taking public comment on that motion in that motion alone.

1070
02:10:54.360 --> 02:10:54.720
jim murez: Yes.

1071
02:10:54.930 --> 02:10:55.980
Daffodil Tyminski: Lisa Robin go ahead.

1072
02:10:58.110 --> 02:11:06.600
Lisa Redmond: yeah, this is a very necessary clarification that we do know that ad hoc committees begin when they are.

1073
02:11:07.500 --> 02:11:14.880
Lisa Redmond: voted on by the board, I do think 31 days is a ridiculous amount of time, I believe it should be amended to two weeks because.

1074
02:11:15.180 --> 02:11:28.860
Lisa Redmond: The President is not bad dumb he knows that the item is on the agenda, he sees it, when it comes in, he sees it, when it goes on add pump he can already be starting to think about it, he doesn't need 31 days.

1075
02:11:29.190 --> 02:11:42.900
Lisa Redmond: To go out and find someone, and that gives the new ad hoc committee time to then not wait for the Chair to be named and then create a committee and an agenda and get on they need sometimes new committees need a lot of time.

1076
02:11:44.880 --> 02:11:47.250
Lisa Redmond: 31 days is a ridiculous number.

1077
02:11:49.110 --> 02:11:51.210

1124
02:14:34.740 --> 02:14:54.000
CJ Cole: Okay yeah, the only thing I came up earlier and I do have to agree that it's very confusing to me that when we have items that i'm so used to an outline form and when we have something that is a i'm.

1125
02:14:55.080 --> 02:15:09.480
CJ Cole: i'm i'm not getting the word trek but it's when i'm whereas if here like the general consent calendar if we have something that's under the consent calendar, it should be numbered like.

1126
02:15:10.050 --> 02:15:20.190
CJ Cole: As an A, B, C, so it is under, and this is confused me all along, every time I cannot figure out what's really on consent.

1127
02:15:21.360 --> 02:15:34.050
CJ Cole: And it's just I don't know if the program won't handle it um but it shouldn't be that difficult to make you know, then there's some there's subcategories to like the general consent calendar.

1128
02:15:35.250 --> 02:15:40.500
CJ Cole: or a subcategory of the um landry's little bit.

1129
02:15:42.420 --> 02:15:43.260
CJ Cole: Does that make sense.

1130
02:15:45.360 --> 02:15:49.650
jim murez: yeah I understand what you're saying, well, we can talk more about it offline how that might be good.

1131
02:15:51.570 --> 02:15:52.710
jim murez: mchale you have your hand up.

1132
02:15:55.860 --> 02:16:06.120
Michael Jensen: yeah thanks I just wanted to apologize to Lisa redmond for my offhand comment that was a mature and inappropriate, so I hope you accept my apology and I will.

1133
02:16:07.500 --> 02:16:08.100
Michael Jensen: try harder.

1134
02:16:09.240 --> 02:16:09.540

jim murez: That anymore.

1137
02:16:17.670 --> 02:16:22.800
Sima Kostovetsky: No, I just put it down um so I just wanted to ask everybody.

1138
02:16:24.240 --> 02:16:33.030
Sima Kostovetsky: We still have the farmers market going on as our outreach effort we've been actively looking for other location, but for the moment, and for the record.

1139
02:16:33.300 --> 02:16:43.290
Sima Kostovetsky: It is a safe place and we are limited in terms of where we can go based, we cannot be in a private business, so the farmers market is not.

1140
02:16:43.740 --> 02:16:48.540
Sima Kostovetsky: Hanks it is on city property and and remains our place that where we can do outreach.

1141
02:16:49.050 --> 02:17:03.120
Sima Kostovetsky: I urge all of you guys, please start getting involved there's like three people that show up literally and half of them are on my committee so you're all part of the board, I have tried to make this.

1142
02:17:03.510 --> 02:17:24.420
Sima Kostovetsky: As easy and as open as possible i'm always open to suggestion, but please start coming to volunteer, it is gratifying, and it is lovely and it is one of the few places that we still have to congregate congregate outside, so I really urge the board to start volunteering, thank you.

1143
02:17:24.510 --> 02:17:32.550
jim murez: see me, can I suggest that in in past boards what has been done outreach committee with send out a list.

1144
02:17:33.390 --> 02:17:40.380
jim murez: Prior to the Friday morning market that would ask for people to sign up during time slots.

1145
02:17:40.740 --> 02:17:51.780
jim murez: And that ended up generating a group of people that enjoyed sitting there on a weekly basis and it used to be, I IRA and and Hugh and Joe Murphy, and they would sit there weekend and week out.

1146
02:17:52.290 --> 02:18:06.480
jim murez: And they would create time slots for themselves and they understood that, and that was something that was coordinated by outreach originally although outreach themselves that people from outreach weren't actually physically there and it's something you might want to think about doing.

1147
02:18:07.890 --> 02:18:09.270
jim murez: I can't hear you have to unmute.

1148
02:18:13.020 --> 02:18:29.430
Sima Kostovetsky: we've done to sign up sheet during my administration, especially when we could congregate out there coven obviously a bit of an issue right we've done to sign in sheets and once again with the same three people that showed up i'm happy to do another sheet, but i'm kind of.

1149
02:18:29.460 --> 02:18:38.130
Sima Kostovetsky: reaching out personally and saying hey we don't have a lot of interpersonal interaction and we need it so come on out.

1150
02:18:38.910 --> 02:18:46.080
jim murez: So i'm what i'm what i'm what i'm suggesting is the squeaky wheel sometimes does get it done if, by reminding everyone maybe on.

1151
02:18:46.170 --> 02:18:49.770
Sima Kostovetsky: On Wednesday i'm happy to do that every week from now on and.

1152
02:18:50.790 --> 02:18:53.790
jim murez: emails just create a template of let people do it.

1153
02:18:54.930 --> 02:19:05.160
jim murez: And let me also say that that I believe I heard you say that you were going to have a table at the national night out on August 2.

1154
02:19:06.450 --> 02:19:13.260
jim murez: The table is in the back of my vehicle you'll need to make arrangements to pick that up unless they're providing tables.

1155
02:19:15.870 --> 02:19:25.830
Sima Kostovetsky: So thank you for pointing that out, we have an extra table and storage and I will of course have that out with lapd as well, but you guys, please it's a great opportunity for you to come down to Playa.

1156
02:19:26.100 --> 02:19:39.060
Sima Kostovetsky: And hang out with other mcs and it's a great way for you as officers to do outreach to your stakeholders we're all part of CD 11 so come on out please happy to share the table.

1157
02:19:40.050 --> 02:19:42.360
jim murez: Okay does anybody else have any other.

1158
02:19:43.500 --> 02:19:46.230
jim murez: comments about items Robert go ahead.

1159
02:19:51.150 --> 02:19:57.180
robertthibodeau: la fd said they were working to remove the campers over by by owner and I was at the.

1160
02:19:58.230 --> 02:20:20.850
robertthibodeau: Transportation board the whatever it is the state's transportation board meeting last week and members of Playa Community did come out in force, and I suspect that's what's being reacted to I do want to note that we have our own problems with campers in Venice and.

1161
02:20:22.530 --> 02:20:24.690
robertthibodeau: In, unlike the.

1162
02:20:25.920 --> 02:20:44.700
robertthibodeau: iona area which, although it is a protected wetlands area is fortunately not homes and businesses, unlike the situations we have where buildings are catching on fire, and you know nefarious stuff is going on in front of our front doors.

1163
02:20:45.930 --> 02:20:47.940
robertthibodeau: It would be nice if we got the same attention.

1164
02:20:49.050 --> 02:20:49.470
robertthibodeau: Thank you.

1165
02:20:49.830 --> 02:20:52.170
jim murez: yeah agreed I was thinking, the same thing when he said.

1166
02:20:53.370 --> 02:20:57.300
jim murez: mchale you have your Oh, by the way, Robert I don't know if.

1167
02:20:58.380 --> 02:21:15.420
jim murez: If you happen to hear what the woman said about having funding for street projects through watershed I know that there's a tremendous amount of money to do watershed projects and if if people come to your committee, perhaps, or if your committee wants to propose.

1168
02:21:15.570 --> 02:21:26.550
robertthibodeau: we'll talk about it at the next meeting, I did definitely caught my ear The other thing that caught my ear was that a Pacific palisades got $1.8 million for Nice pedestrian path.

1169
02:21:26.580 --> 02:21:29.610
robertthibodeau: And we got $3 million for the ramada INN you.

1170
02:21:30.180 --> 02:21:31.680
robertthibodeau: Do the math on that one too.

1171
02:21:31.740 --> 02:21:32.070
jim murez: yep.

1172
02:21:32.100 --> 02:21:35.280

jim murez: Jeff do you have your hand up go ahead, please.

1175
02:21:40.350 --> 02:21:46.740
Daffodil Tyminski: You know, I was that was the exact comment, I was going to make and it's it's so disappointing to hear that coming from that office.

1176
02:21:47.100 --> 02:22:00.270
Daffodil Tyminski: But i'm wondering if there's anything we can do to contact that office and say you know there's so many things we could use funding for I don't know who has the best relationship with that office but it's sort of appalling.

1177
02:22:01.710 --> 02:22:02.340
Daffodil Tyminski: That.

1178
02:22:02.940 --> 02:22:07.680
jim murez: So I don't know if you caught it or not, but she said, it is not yet been approved by Congress.

1179
02:22:08.040 --> 02:22:18.720
jim murez: Right so he's he's put that out there um you know I don't know how many people reach out to all their Congress people but it's definitely out there.

1180
02:22:19.230 --> 02:22:26.940
Daffodil Tyminski: yeah I mean I don't know how tone deaf she could be, but if anyone has a relationship with his representative, we should try to at least request a meeting.

1181
02:22:27.270 --> 02:22:32.310
robertthibodeau: or a master a little letter writing campaign to the REP I mean you know that was that was terrific.

1182
02:22:32.400 --> 02:22:35.880
Daffodil Tyminski: That was horrific yeah and frankly to all the other congresspeople.

1183
02:22:36.900 --> 02:22:53.850
jim murez: Well it's interesting it's interesting that the Venice family clinic St joseph's and path all receive funding in Venice and in in the palisades received a new trail yeah it was.

1184
02:22:53.910 --> 02:22:55.500
Daffodil Tyminski: yeah no, it was it was.

1185

jim murez: it's over 4 million.

1186
02:22:57.390 --> 02:23:08.490
jim murez: If you know it's over $4 million that that Venice is receiving for for homeless activities and the palisades get a trail anyway.

1187
02:23:09.630 --> 02:23:14.280
robertthibodeau: 00 for making our streets nicer dry dry dry down.

02:23:26.850 --> 02:23:30.150
jim murez: um Okay, do we have any other comments.

1193
02:23:31.530 --> 02:23:40.530
jim murez: Any other committee members wanna speak out on anything they have on their mind Elizabeth we haven't heard from you in a while.

1194
02:23:43.740 --> 02:23:46.650
jim murez: don't want to put you on this lucky Melissa has her hand up.

1195
02:23:50.850 --> 02:23:51.600
jim murez: So what's up.

1196
02:23:52.260 --> 02:24:10.800
Melissa Diner: Well, that that digital signs on the bus stops we passed emotion already against that, so we can read send that letter if that's something we want to do for that constituent because we did that, during this board term about six months ago, when it came up last time so.

1197
02:24:11.400 --> 02:24:15.300
jim murez: Well, the important The important thing to realize and that's a good point that you're pointing out.

1198
02:24:17.160 --> 02:24:20.100
jim murez: Once a board motion has been passed.

1199
02:24:21.510 --> 02:24:33.540
jim murez: As the person that files, the Community impact statements if if if the the city council was to post something, and there was only 72 hours to respond to it.

1200
02:24:33.810 --> 02:24:41.310
jim murez: Because we already have a position as the board, we can immediately file that all we have to do is file it along with the vote.

1201
02:24:41.700 --> 02:24:52.560
jim murez: And, and the date that that meeting was held, and that gives us a Community impact statement stating that, whatever the topic isn't in this case it's bus shelters, we don't want them in Venice.

1202
02:24:53.880 --> 02:25:09.240
jim murez: The digital billboard things and, and so we already worried you're right we're a half step up, but I just want to make it clear that that I believe by self, and I think Melissa you can also file I don't know if it was you or daffodil but one of the two of you guys.

1203
02:25:09.270 --> 02:25:12.360
Melissa Diner: You me and two other people, I think.

1204
02:25:12.720 --> 02:25:13.320
jim murez: can file.

1205
02:25:14.220 --> 02:25:28.920
jim murez: yeah So if I if i'm unavailable or something and something like that were to come up if any board member, one of the let any one of us that can file the Community impact statements, because it's already emotion that's been passed, we can just file it.

1206
02:25:29.910 --> 02:25:32.790
vicki halliday: Can we live 500 feet from the bus stop.

1207
02:25:34.530 --> 02:25:37.440
jim murez: that's an interesting question Oh, you know what I.

1208
02:25:37.470 --> 02:25:39.750
vicki halliday: mean I can't vote for bridge housing.

1209
02:25:40.020 --> 02:25:42.000
vicki halliday: Your vote for the bus stop.

1210
02:25:42.480 --> 02:25:42.690
Your.

1211
02:25:44.850 --> 02:25:45.510
Michael Jensen: feet now.

1212

jim murez: it's 1000.

1213
02:25:46.800 --> 02:25:47.460
Melissa Diner: knocks a.

1214
02:25:48.150 --> 02:25:57.060
vicki halliday: city, the city attorney tenants with the least which is me 500 feet Homeowners 1000.

1215
02:25:58.140 --> 02:26:11.040
jim murez: Interesting well I they haven't said that to me because I haven't responded to the seven or eight questions that I had that included things like being able to even agenda items, so if this is yet to be because.

1216
02:26:11.700 --> 02:26:31.200
jim murez: We there's a lot of issues that we now have to get settled about this and then we'll get through it, but we're not there yet, I think that the answer vicki is that if we don't call out an individual location, we can probably make the point that it would be all events, and in that case.

1217
02:26:32.430 --> 02:26:47.640
jim murez: We can pass emotion on and there was without being specific to a location it wouldn't be the bus shelter at sunset and main instead it would just be bus shelters in vent vent within the Venice coastal zone or within the vm CS jurisdiction.

1218
02:26:48.780 --> 02:26:53.760
Ivan: Jim none of this stuff is on the agenda to brown act violation, you want to just.

1219
02:26:54.720 --> 02:26:57.060
jim murez: No, no it's no it's not actually with these.

1220
02:26:57.060 --> 02:26:57.540
Ivan: Are on the.

1221
02:26:57.780 --> 02:27:01.350
jim murez: board officer comments items, not on the agenda.

1222
02:27:01.890 --> 02:27:04.740
Ivan: they're not comments their discussions.

1223
02:27:05.430 --> 02:27:08.010
jim murez: yeah they're calm that's okay call them what you will.

1224
02:27:08.040 --> 02:27:09.540
Ivan: When you say somebody.

1225
02:27:09.540 --> 02:27:11.580
jim murez: made a mistake, our motto.

1226
02:27:11.820 --> 02:27:17.100
jim murez: I got it Thank you Ivan well we'll we'll call it late okay.

1227
02:27:17.520 --> 02:27:18.720
Ivan: I listed on the agenda.

1228
02:27:18.750 --> 02:27:19.740
Ivan: Then you can talk on it.

1229
02:27:19.980 --> 02:27:22.530
jim murez: Elizabeth you've been smiling you got anything you want to say.

1230
02:27:24.090 --> 02:27:25.200
jim murez: You got on mute, though.

1231
02:27:30.450 --> 02:27:32.460
elizabeth clay: I have a new computer getting used to it.

1232
02:27:32.820 --> 02:27:33.660
jim murez: Okay it's got a.

1233
02:27:34.500 --> 02:27:35.520
jim murez: got a great camera.

1234
02:27:36.030 --> 02:27:48.240
elizabeth clay: Thanks Well, no, I just I just learned that i've have halfway through this and I wanted to ask if we could change the rule on people who give presentations if we could ask a question.

1235
02:27:48.810 --> 02:28:00.570
elizabeth clay: I get so frustrated that none of us can ask, and these are people i'm seriously interested in, even if you just limited to one question like a two minute answer or one minute answer something like that.

1236
02:28:00.840 --> 02:28:09.990
jim murez: And, and so i'm not the one that made that up that was done by a previous president and I just sort of been following along with it, and I was on the board at the time that it was created the.

1237
02:28:10.500 --> 02:28:20.430
jim murez: The I did the reasoning behind it was as soon as you start asking questions, then you have to allow public asked questions and then you get into a whole nother realm.

1238
02:28:20.790 --> 02:28:29.070
jim murez: of how long are the question is going to go on for it's the same thing with lapd and same thing with fire we can't just quite make questions up.

1239
02:28:29.430 --> 02:28:33.270
jim murez: As the board without also allowing the public to make.

1240
02:28:33.720 --> 02:28:42.630
jim murez: questions and then the question is how long are we going to let questions go on for if we set a time limit will allow three minutes for.

1241
02:28:42.870 --> 02:28:55.380
jim murez: Public questions and three minutes for board questions we could do that if we wanted to, but if we make it an open ended thing it can run on for another hour and everybody was upset at the time, about how board meetings were taking.

1242
02:28:55.410 --> 02:29:02.280
elizabeth clay: I agree that you know, we need to trim board meetings It just seems like we kind of went to the other extreme, I just one question.

1243
02:29:02.580 --> 02:29:12.960
elizabeth clay: Because, then it goes to a committee and then the Committee, how they know my question and i'm supposed to email, the Committee on a good day they can't get to my stuff so my question answered like two months from now.

1244
02:29:14.310 --> 02:29:20.460
jim murez: So yeah I don't know if we can limit it to the number of questions as easily as we can to the amount of time.

1245
02:29:21.390 --> 02:29:24.030
elizabeth clay: sure can maybe get some other viewpoints on that.

1246
02:29:25.080 --> 02:29:25.500
jim murez: Okay.

1247
02:29:26.880 --> 02:29:28.860
jim murez: i'll check with Ivan offline to find.

1248
02:29:28.860 --> 02:29:30.660
Melissa Diner: out what could we have a chat.

1249
02:29:30.720 --> 02:29:44.010
Melissa Diner: Where anyone could post a question and then they are today I don't know i'm just trying to use technology in a way that won't have to be crazy modern because they DM the speaker anyone like.

1250
02:29:45.660 --> 02:29:50.250
Melissa Diner: To respond immediately offline or something i'm just seeing what could be possible.

1251
02:29:50.550 --> 02:30:02.160
jim murez: zoom offers the ability to host chat and we can certainly let people post chat but then we have the problem with people spamming chat.

1252
02:30:02.520 --> 02:30:14.940
jim murez: With vulgarity and all kinds of other craziness and then we also have the problem with who's going to select which questions are actually forwarded to the person who made the presentation.

1253
02:30:15.240 --> 02:30:15.690
jim murez: So let's.

1254
02:30:15.960 --> 02:30:17.310
Melissa Diner: Maybe that's a direct.

1255
02:30:17.310 --> 02:30:28.020
Melissa Diner: DM feature, we could turn on that would be cool, because then we don't have to monitor it, but people can message the speaker if the speakers willing to participate, maybe we can look into.

1256
02:30:28.110 --> 02:30:34.980
jim murez: Why don't we do this, why don't why don't some of these technology gurus yourself and Elizabeth and I know vicki has.

1257
02:30:35.430 --> 02:30:48.030
jim murez: Some some feelings and issues about how the stuff should be handled as well why don't we just talk about this stuff offline and and maybe we can come up with a proposal, and you know try it for a month or two.

1258
02:30:48.990 --> 02:30:51.570
elizabeth clay: good idea, as long as we do talk about it offline let's.

1259
02:30:52.650 --> 02:30:53.910
Ivan: Talk to Freddie.

1260
02:30:54.570 --> 02:30:55.320
jim murez: Okay yeah.

1261
02:30:55.770 --> 02:31:00.060
Ivan: Please, please don't go off and do anything without talking to Freddie about the.

1262
02:31:00.060 --> 02:31:10.230
jim murez: snow, we will make sure to loop Freddie and and and you know if it has to do with parliamentarian issues, we will be sure to loop you in as well.

1263
02:31:10.860 --> 02:31:12.450
Ivan: I don't I don't have to be there.

02:31:12.480 --> 02:31:14.220
jim murez: has to be Freddie okay.
