that's a goal. 188 00:18:01.350 --> 00:18:05.730 frank murphy: chair, so what I wanted to do was comment, we were going to take. 189 00:18:07.530 --> 00:18:14.640 frank murphy: One minute on non agenda items and we were going to place that at the end of the. 190 00:18:17.070 --> 00:18:23.940 frank murphy: At the end of the meeting, and that is when we could also have the public comments on the homeless Roundtable. 191 00:18:25.020 --> 00:18:31.680 frank murphy: So we wanted to take those two items and put them down before the adjournment. 192 00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.810 frank murphy: If that's. 193 00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:36.540 frank murphy: That. 194 00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:42.210 frank murphy: So then we'll go down right under the. 195 00:18:43.290 --> 00:18:46.590 frank murphy: comments on not agenda items. 196 00:18:48.030 --> 00:18:49.230 frank murphy: think that number. 197 00:18:50.310 --> 00:18:54.570 frank murphy: You know down there right above the right above number nine. 198 00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:59.130 frank murphy: Okay, so that puts us to the. 199 00:19:01.890 --> 00:19:04.650 frank murphy: committee chair and a comment. 200 00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:08.400 frank murphy: i'm from myself. 201 00:19:10.290 --> 00:19:13.320 frank murphy: And I wanted to make a. 202 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:18.330 frank murphy: Just sort of a generalized statement here. 203 00:19:19.770 --> 00:19:25.260 frank murphy: Before we get started and, basically, what I want to comment on is. 204 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.850 frank murphy: As a committee, I think what we've come, you know the street and the sidewalks are the most. 205 00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:56.160 frank murphy: Probably the most inhumane approach to housing and giving emergency housing to homeless people and so that's a that's a really big ticket item and we've addressed this at several different iterations over the last couple of years through this committee and. 206 00:19:58.110 --> 00:20:00.660 frank murphy: We have several we had several. 207 00:20:03.750 --> 00:20:29.820 frank murphy: presentations and postings in 621 are 1007 20 220-320-1622 21 all about homeless off street sanctuaries and suitable sites, etc, etc, so this was all been digested and dispersed throughout the Community, but one of the things that I wanted to highlight was. 208 00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:37.050 frank murphy: No matter how contentious and raucous we can be in Venice. 209 00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:52.950 frank murphy: You know, we have accommodated homeless and and those of lesser means quite substantially and reason why I say this is Venice accounts for 5% of the area and 14% of the population. 210 00:20:54.090 --> 00:21:16.440 frank murphy: And 16% of the housing stock of all of CD 11 56% of the homeless population and 40% of the low income and P sh housing of all of ci CD 11 are located in Venice and I just want to kind of get that up in front, so people can see that and. 211 00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:24.570 frank murphy: For what it's worth so having said that i'm Tracy parks has. 212 00:21:25.830 --> 00:21:34.860 frank murphy: been so gracious as to join us in a meeting and and we really want to get a lot of interaction with Tracy. 213 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:42.990 frank murphy: Especially on the homeless issue so and we exchange has to be focused on the homelessness as it impacts us. 214 00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:49.890 frank murphy: What I want to ask the Committee is, we want to get good Chris questions. 215 00:21:51.600 --> 00:22:01.590 frank murphy: compact Lee stated we're going to give you one minute to post questions and then 30 seconds to do a to do a short. 216 00:22:03.300 --> 00:22:28.020 frank murphy: follow up question in case you feel there's something but, otherwise, we want to let Tracy answer and the time being spent with tracy's answers and comments and etc interspersed in that we're going to have questions that were presented to us previously and vicki will be. 217 00:22:30.510 --> 00:22:36.540 frank murphy: Bringing those up and and I think the questions will be not only. 218 00:22:38.190 --> 00:22:44.730 frank murphy: Questions to Tracy but informative to Tracy as to what the concerns are within the Community. 219 00:22:45.810 --> 00:22:50.790 frank murphy: So, that being the case, Tracy if you want to take a few minutes to sort of. 220 00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:53.880 frank murphy: Introduce yourself and then we'll go. 221 00:22:55.050 --> 00:22:55.560 frank murphy: From there. 222 00:22:55.980 --> 00:23:05.280 Traci Park: Alright, well, thank you, frank and thank you to all of the committee members for having me it's always a pleasure to see you and I welcome our discussion tonight. 223 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:23.400 Traci Park: For those of you who may be joining as attendees that i've not had the opportunity to meet i'm Tracy park i'm a local here in Venice, and I think you all know that I am headed to a runoff election in November to replace Mike bonnen on the La city council and to represent. 224 00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.680 Traci Park: A Council district you love and. 225 00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:35.580 Traci Park: I am by trade and attorney i've been practicing for more than 20 years here in Los Angeles i'm a third generation angeleno. 226 00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:46.560 Traci Park: And in my day job I work every day with city leadership on complex issues I work every day with city managers elected officials. 227 00:23:46.890 --> 00:23:56.640 Traci Park: department heads police and fire and other employee groups on a wide range of issues and, like you, as a resident of Venice. 228 00:23:57.540 --> 00:24:11.280 Traci Park: I have seen what has occurred in our Community over the last several years to and watching this crisis escalate and the effectiveness of our local government. 229 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:21.540 Traci Park: across various agencies and bureaucracies to respond to the concerns of our Community, its failure to keep certain promises to our Community. 230 00:24:22.020 --> 00:24:34.950 Traci Park: All contributed to my decision to run for Office and to get involved and to work with you as Community members to help create the solutions that it is going to take to address these issues. 231 00:24:35.310 --> 00:24:44.880 Traci Park: I know that you're going to have specific questions for me this evening and I look forward to diving in on all the issues and topics that you may want to talk about. 232 00:24:45.270 --> 00:24:57.210 Traci Park: I do want to frame also our conversation with an acknowledgement that if there are 50,000 people sleeping on the streets of Los Angeles, that is 50,000 too many people. 233 00:24:57.570 --> 00:25:14.640 Traci Park: And it is not lost on me that there is a human story and reason for every single one of those individuals, this is a very complex issue, there is no single solution that is going to address this. 234 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:24.960 Traci Park: When i'm elected this job is not going to come with a magic wand, but I am confident that working together with communities with. 235 00:25:25.470 --> 00:25:33.930 Traci Park: committees like yours and our neighborhood and Community Councils across the district, we are going to take swift action. 236 00:25:34.230 --> 00:25:42.030 Traci Park: To address the concerns to get people into settings where they can get stabilized and get the help that they need. 237 00:25:42.390 --> 00:25:56.940 Traci Park: And i'm going to need your partnership to get it done so with that I am happy to dive in and we answer questions and talk about the specifics of what we're going to need to do to get this done so thanks again for having me you guys. 238 00:25:59.310 --> 00:26:01.770 frank murphy: Thanks Tracy okay. 239 00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:05.730 frank murphy: let's let's start anybody. 240 00:26:11.190 --> 00:26:13.440 Pat Raphael: Yes, well, I guess. 241 00:26:15.540 --> 00:26:16.560 Pat Raphael: i'd like to have. 242 00:26:17.580 --> 00:26:35.070 Pat Raphael: background information is the plan that you already have in place, since this is one of the major issues of this race i'm sure you already have something in place, can we first have that and then from the plan that you have in place, we can we can. 243 00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:37.440 Pat Raphael: Take the conversation from there. 244 00:26:38.550 --> 00:26:49.380 Traci Park: So, for those of you who haven't had an opportunity, I would recommend going to Tracy park.com my full plan is laid out in detail there. 245 00:26:50.310 --> 00:26:57.960 Traci Park: As I mentioned, Pat, this is a very complex problem with many layers of challenges to it. 246 00:26:58.350 --> 00:27:08.220 Traci Park: keep in mind that when we are thinking and talking about addressing homelessness we are talking about the county of Los Angeles, the city of Los Angeles. 247 00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:18.210 Traci Park: Lhasa, and about 1500 service providers working across the county to address these issues, and it is going to take. 248 00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:27.540 Traci Park: All of those layers of bureaucracy and government organizations and nonprofits and search service providers rowing in the same direction. 249 00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:40.350 Traci Park: To make a meaningful difference in this problem so kicking through some of those communication silos and getting organizations and to share information to collaborate and to work together. 250 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:52.290 Traci Park: is going to be a big part of that, so let me take this in pieces, first of all, prevention of homelessness is a critical component of how we need to begin to address this. 251 00:27:52.800 --> 00:28:08.160 Traci Park: For individuals that are housing insecure or may face losing their housing because of unexpected financial circumstances, whether that is job loss or unexpected medical bills. 252 00:28:08.430 --> 00:28:15.300 Traci Park: or even the cost of living and we recognize that the affordability component here in Los Angeles, is a serious problem. 253 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:28.260 Traci Park: We have got to have safety nets in place to help keep people past one of the things that I have proposed is a 24 hour housing hotline. 254 00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:35.040 Traci Park: That is actually managed in real time answered by human beings who are case managers. 255 00:28:35.370 --> 00:28:45.480 Traci Park: Who will do an intake with folks that are having an economic barrier to staying house and get them set up with the right financial assistance to keep them where they are. 256 00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:58.380 Traci Park: Something else that is absolutely essential is that we are not only protecting and preserving the affordable housing that we have on the West side and across the city. 257 00:28:58.650 --> 00:29:13.680 Traci Park: But that we are making investments in expanding affordable and workforce housing, so that we can keep people house and so that it remains economically viable for them to stay in their communities where they are. 258 00:29:14.130 --> 00:29:30.330 Traci Park: So that's a piece of it another piece of it is having accurate real time data that helps us understand who is in the population that we need to serve and what their needs are. 259 00:29:30.810 --> 00:29:42.300 Traci Park: I don't think that relying on numbers from the annual point in time, count give us enough data on an ongoing basis to assess. 260 00:29:42.570 --> 00:29:53.850 Traci Park: Where are the needs in the Community and how do we get those addressed, so I would like to see regular ongoing collection of data that includes needs assessments. 261 00:29:54.150 --> 00:30:02.910 Traci Park: So that we are ensuring that people who are without homes are getting referred into the right types of interventions and programs. 262 00:30:03.390 --> 00:30:18.900 Traci Park: I also think that we need to be much more granular about designing interventions for different demographics of individuals and i've talked a lot about this over the last year, plus that I have been campaigning. 263 00:30:20.490 --> 00:30:35.850 Traci Park: Let me give you a couple of different examples I spend a lot of time out in encampments talking to folks because I think that as a policymaker it's important for me to understand what works and what hasn't worked. 264 00:30:36.330 --> 00:30:45.840 Traci Park: And oftentimes older people that are living on the streets will tell me that they do not want to go into housing with you. 265 00:30:46.470 --> 00:30:58.680 Traci Park: And so my takeaway from those conversations, is that we need to have transitional and permanent housing, that is specific to seniors 55 and up. 266 00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:12.210 Traci Park: We all know that aging out of foster care is one of the biggest feeders into homelessness for youth, I believe that shared housing pod share model type housing is an. 267 00:31:12.990 --> 00:31:22.290 Traci Park: Intervention that is appropriate for that particular demographic that model does not work as well for seniors or for families. 268 00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:34.110 Traci Park: families with children are a different demographic that have different needs, I was honored to be President President at the grand opening of Angeles house. 269 00:31:34.620 --> 00:31:42.690 Traci Park: A few months back that is Union rescue missions new transitional housing for families in South Los Angeles, and that entire facility. 270 00:31:42.990 --> 00:31:54.960 Traci Park: was designed with children in mind, there are playgrounds libraries reading rooms, all of the amenities on site that would be appropriate for families with children. 271 00:31:55.530 --> 00:32:02.670 Traci Park: women who are victims of domestic violence are heavily represented amongst the House population. 272 00:32:03.060 --> 00:32:10.470 Traci Park: and women who are fleeing domestic violence have a different set of needs and interventions that are appropriate for them. 273 00:32:10.800 --> 00:32:20.160 Traci Park: So I think that it is very important that we are looking at those needs and designing interventions that are appropriate to that population. 274 00:32:20.550 --> 00:32:28.260 Traci Park: I also think that we are being remiss in our conversations if we don't acknowledge mental health and addiction issues. 275 00:32:28.650 --> 00:32:37.530 Traci Park: It has always been a head scratcher to me that we do not have on demand walk up residential rehab programs. 276 00:32:37.830 --> 00:32:48.720 Traci Park: For those who are experiencing addiction issues we have got to expand to the resources available to us here in the city of Los Angeles, to address those issues as well. 277 00:32:49.110 --> 00:32:56.460 Traci Park: And pad I know i'm taking a long time to answer your question, but it was really broad So hopefully i'll get some follow ups and we can dive in on some of this. 278 00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:06.300 Traci Park: it's also really important to me as we think about the model maintenance and and how we are managing our nonprofits and service providers. 279 00:33:06.840 --> 00:33:27.960 Traci Park: We currently don't have any standardized set of performance metrics to assess which providers are actually getting us returns on our investment, like many of you, I share serious concerns about the low numbers of success getting people stabilized and into permanent housing. 280 00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:39.750 Traci Park: here on the West side and in other parts of the city, I think it is time for us to stop writing blank checks and hoping for the best. 281 00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:49.500 Traci Park: I am more than willing to double and triple down on programs that are working, that are actually achieving the results that we want to see. 282 00:33:49.770 --> 00:33:56.970 Traci Park: But I have no trouble canceling the contracts of those providers that are not yielding us the results that we'd like to see. 283 00:33:57.690 --> 00:34:07.110 Traci Park: Finally, we're going to have to we're going to have to invest in housing, and that is affordable housing workforce, housing and permanent supportive housing. 284 00:34:07.410 --> 00:34:16.530 Traci Park: But if we are being honest about that we're talking about things that are a decade down the pipeline to bring to scale. 285 00:34:16.950 --> 00:34:25.110 Traci Park: Out of fruition, that is going to get people off the streets fast enough for any of us to see a meaningful impact in the numbers of folks on the streets. 286 00:34:25.350 --> 00:34:33.270 Traci Park: So what that means is that we're going to have to take some less ideal alternatives in the meantime, and that may need to be in Phase one. 287 00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:42.300 Traci Park: Safe camping and sleeping sites and moving into emergency and transitional type shelters. 288 00:34:43.050 --> 00:35:00.690 Traci Park: Neither one of those are ideal, but they are the interim steps that we need to be able to make in the meantime to get people off the streets and into safe settings there is nothing that is humane or compassionate or progressive. 289 00:35:01.050 --> 00:35:14.190 Traci Park: About leaving people sick suffering and dying on the streets, and we are going to have to come together as a community to work together to stop that and make sure that we're getting people to care that they need so. 290 00:35:14.580 --> 00:35:27.690 Traci Park: Hopefully that gave you an overview packs of the plan it's complicated there's a lot of moving parts to it and it's going to take a lot of work to get it done, but we are going to come together and we are going to do this. 291 00:35:29.310 --> 00:35:31.260 frank murphy: Bad you have a follow up on that. 292 00:35:32.790 --> 00:35:34.110 Pat Raphael: Thank you for that I guess. 293 00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:36.900 Pat Raphael: What I think about when I. 294 00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:42.270 Pat Raphael: consider opening new ways to measure success. 295 00:35:44.070 --> 00:35:47.760 Pat Raphael: metrics available to make decisions on is. 296 00:35:48.900 --> 00:35:50.850 Pat Raphael: conceiving of creating another. 297 00:35:53.250 --> 00:35:58.530 Pat Raphael: Market we gather this information from sources, where it's available already. 298 00:36:00.870 --> 00:36:01.980 Pat Raphael: So what is the plan again. 299 00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:19.530 Traci Park: Thank you for that follow up half that's a good question, so I, as a matter of contracting. 300 00:36:19.890 --> 00:36:27.930 Traci Park: When we are engaging a nonprofit or a service provider, we need to sit down in the drafting phase. 301 00:36:28.260 --> 00:36:37.020 Traci Park: and assess what is your capacity per year how, what are your goals in terms of the number of individuals, you will be servicing that are coming. 302 00:36:37.230 --> 00:36:46.650 Traci Park: Out of homelessness and into your program and what are the realistic outcomes that we're shooting for right i'm not going to dictate to the service providers, what we think is realistic. 303 00:36:47.100 --> 00:36:58.830 Traci Park: We are going to need to collaborate with them, but those need to be spelled out in the contracts and the funding for these programs needs to be tied to achieving those outcomes. 304 00:36:59.160 --> 00:37:15.900 Traci Park: I can think of no other aspect of public contracting I can think of no business arrangement, where you are writing blank checks and hoping for the best, and that is unfortunately what we have seen all too often. 305 00:37:16.350 --> 00:37:28.410 Traci Park: And, sadly, at the end of the day, while we are throwing billions of dollars at this problem, we are not seeing the results that we would expect to see in our communities, and in part that's because of the. 306 00:37:28.590 --> 00:37:38.340 Traci Park: inflow into homelessness being potentially greater than the capacity that we have to serve, but I do believe in accountability and. 307 00:37:38.700 --> 00:37:48.660 Traci Park: We have to recognize that there is a limitation on the resources and we have got to invest those dollars in what's working and. 308 00:37:49.560 --> 00:37:59.460 Traci Park: Stop with the ones that aren't and so that is something that I would like to see quarterly reporting on and we will be doing those performance check ins on a regular basis. 309 00:37:59.700 --> 00:38:05.940 Traci Park: and assessing those contracts as we go forward now something else, as a matter of contracting that has been concerning to me. 310 00:38:06.150 --> 00:38:11.700 Traci Park: Is the number of no big contracts that have been written out over the last number of years. 311 00:38:11.970 --> 00:38:22.290 Traci Park: I want to go out for rfp and I want to hire the best providers to get the work done and that is something that I will be very transparent about. 312 00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:32.370 Traci Park: All of this information will be available, I will be in your committees, we will talk about that and we can talk about who we think the best folks are to tackle some of the issues that we need to tackle. 313 00:38:35.100 --> 00:38:37.560 frank murphy: God, I think you, you were. 314 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:41.610 frank murphy: At some question there. 315 00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:44.190 Traci Park: Then you're muted. 316 00:38:44.250 --> 00:38:45.630 frank murphy: You gotta unmute Tony. 317 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:00.870 frank murphy: Can you. 318 00:39:02.790 --> 00:39:03.030 Jody Mortimer: got it. 319 00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:03.630 frank murphy: I got it. 320 00:39:04.080 --> 00:39:04.950 frank murphy: Thank you, thank you. 321 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:07.200 Jody Mortimer: Thank you vicki. 322 00:39:08.250 --> 00:39:12.780 Jody Mortimer: i'm sorry Tracy for coming to our committee meeting um. 323 00:39:13.830 --> 00:39:16.020 Jody Mortimer: First, I want to say that it sounds like you're. 324 00:39:17.310 --> 00:39:23.640 Jody Mortimer: you're very strong and I think you said about a 10 year plan with benchmarks correct. 325 00:39:24.660 --> 00:39:40.260 Traci Park: yeah well, I think the 10 years is what i'm talking about the building of new permanent supportive housing and affordable housing units just realistically we're a decade out from having enough units online and available to even begin to address the problem, yes. 326 00:39:40.830 --> 00:39:41.040 So. 327 00:39:43.650 --> 00:39:45.600 Traci Park: temporary solutions, yes. 328 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:49.620 Jody Mortimer: So so temporary solutions or something like. 329 00:39:51.270 --> 00:40:03.330 Jody Mortimer: that or the other day about porn seven tiny homes, they just had their open up at the city of torrance is that possible to do anything like that you're within on the West side, yes. 330 00:40:03.390 --> 00:40:09.180 Traci Park: Yes, so tiny homes modular structures Carver that shelters adaptive reuse. 331 00:40:09.390 --> 00:40:10.350 Traci Park: All of the above. 332 00:40:12.030 --> 00:40:13.380 Jody Mortimer: Okay, thanks. 333 00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:16.020 Jody Mortimer: Oh, what do you know about California care courts. 334 00:40:16.500 --> 00:40:31.500 Traci Park: Yes, good question so you know this is for those of you who don't know is something that was proposed by governor newsome in recent months, and that is a system where individuals. 335 00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:42.450 Traci Park: couldn't potentially who are not well could potentially be conserved by the state for longer periods, then currently allowed under California law. 336 00:40:42.810 --> 00:40:44.160 Traci Park: The purpose behind that. 337 00:40:44.190 --> 00:41:01.620 Traci Park: Of course, is to give people the time that's necessary to get stabilized and to bring back some ability to get people into programming that addresses things like mental health and addiction issues I do support the care courts. 338 00:41:01.620 --> 00:41:07.440 Traci Park: I am encouraged that that legislation has now moved into the appropriate appropriations committee. 339 00:41:07.680 --> 00:41:15.270 Traci Park: In sacramento and I am hopeful that it will pass again, though, I just want to caution you that even. 340 00:41:15.750 --> 00:41:28.200 Traci Park: When that is passed, it is going to take some time to get those court systems set up to bring that programming those diversion plans online. 341 00:41:28.500 --> 00:41:36.030 Traci Park: And we will continue to wrangle with the question of where to house individuals who need to go. 342 00:41:36.510 --> 00:41:44.340 Traci Park: You probably know this, but here in Los Angeles county we only have about 2000 acute care beds. 343 00:41:44.610 --> 00:41:51.270 Traci Park: Which isn't enough to serve the population of severe mentally ill individuals who need the help. 344 00:41:51.510 --> 00:42:15.780 Traci Park: And even if you can get them in on a 72 hour hold and get that extended up to 14 days and then up to 30 days by way of court order, what we are some sorely lacking are the step down facilities that are necessary, as we closed our state mental health hospitals over the last several decades. 345 00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:21.630 Traci Park: It was intended that those be replaced with Community based. 346 00:42:21.690 --> 00:42:27.900 Traci Park: Living facilities those never came online at the scale that was necessary. 347 00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:36.600 Traci Park: And unfortunately for our board and care facilities that we do have we're losing them at an alarming rate, in large part. 348 00:42:36.810 --> 00:42:48.060 Traci Park: Because the medicare reimbursement rate is only $35 per day when the actual cost of paying your staff caring for patients running your facility is much higher than that. 349 00:42:48.270 --> 00:43:03.630 Traci Park: So one of the things that could be done to help not only keep the facilities that we have been incentivized building a new ones is creating a fund that would supplement the difference between actual costs and medicare reinforcement. 350 00:43:04.020 --> 00:43:08.340 Traci Park: But we've got also lobby our members of Congress to get that federal rate adjusted. 351 00:43:08.730 --> 00:43:12.000 Jody Mortimer: And we need those hospitals reopened out East again that we close to. 352 00:43:12.810 --> 00:43:17.370 frank murphy: God gotta wrap up on that do you have a question. 353 00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:19.680 Jody Mortimer: No i'm good i'm. 354 00:43:20.070 --> 00:43:21.420 Jody Mortimer: Okay, thank you Tracy. 355 00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:22.530 Traci Park: you're welcome. 356 00:43:26.910 --> 00:43:28.500 frank murphy: anybody else on the. 357 00:43:29.910 --> 00:43:30.990 frank murphy: Committee needs to. 358 00:43:32.040 --> 00:43:32.970 frank murphy: put up a question. 359 00:43:33.870 --> 00:43:34.350 Brian. 360 00:43:37.950 --> 00:43:39.240 Brian U: happy to hi Tracy. 361 00:43:40.530 --> 00:43:47.310 Brian U: And vicki thanks for putting this together it's great to have Tracy here is, as it will be next month with Eric. 362 00:43:48.750 --> 00:43:56.730 Brian U: Tracy there's there's big things happening in Venice with homeless, as you always know and one of the big things that's right up in front of everybody right now is. 363 00:43:57.090 --> 00:44:14.490 Brian U: Is is our Community and the city going to come to an agreement that allows the city to re up and extend the existing lease on bridge housing, on top of that they're asking to reopen and redo a contract and extend with path to be the provider there. 364 00:44:15.660 --> 00:44:21.330 Brian U: are a couple things the city feels betrayed or at least that the neighborhoods within the. 365 00:44:21.330 --> 00:44:31.140 Brian U: engagement and the proximity to the bridge housing feel that you know they they they've been promised something and they and they and they and they didn't get what they thought that get. 366 00:44:31.470 --> 00:44:41.310 Brian U: Not to mention the people that were housed in that probably didn't get what we wanted them to get either based on what the original menu of services and things that were called for. 367 00:44:42.510 --> 00:44:42.810 frank murphy: Right. 368 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:45.480 frank murphy: keep it short. 369 00:44:45.510 --> 00:44:46.710 We got one minute. 370 00:44:48.060 --> 00:44:49.590 Brian U: Go ahead sorry sorry frank. 371 00:44:49.950 --> 00:44:54.360 Brian U: yeah anything else i'm okay thanks right. 372 00:44:54.540 --> 00:44:56.670 frank murphy: No, I want you to close that question. 373 00:44:56.850 --> 00:44:57.390 Brian U: yeah. 374 00:44:57.450 --> 00:44:58.710 Brian U: i'm trying to we under the time. 375 00:45:00.060 --> 00:45:01.110 frank murphy: yeah we're on a timer. 376 00:45:02.520 --> 00:45:03.180 Brian U: Tracy. 377 00:45:04.290 --> 00:45:15.900 Brian U: This community wants to consider having the city sign a Community benefits agreement that's an enforceable contract between the neighborhood and and and the city number one, would you be. 378 00:45:18.420 --> 00:45:24.360 Brian U: Part of that number two the path contract the accountability. 379 00:45:25.410 --> 00:45:39.540 Brian U: I heard you talk about that earlier, the transparency, the cleanup zones, the SEC Z, how is that going to work so there's there's a couple questions in that same thing, but data transparency clean up nadh. 380 00:45:39.750 --> 00:45:41.010 frank murphy: yeah Okay, thank you. 381 00:45:41.580 --> 00:45:56.490 Traci Park: Brian, thank you for the question you know I have spoken with so many people who live in around the bridge home as well as business owners and I am as well aware, as anyone. 382 00:45:57.780 --> 00:46:06.630 Traci Park: how difficult that location has been, and we were lied to by the city, you know, I was there. 383 00:46:07.080 --> 00:46:16.620 Traci Park: at Westminster elementary the night that my phone in and Mayor of our city came out and promised our community that that would be a special enforcement zone. 384 00:46:17.010 --> 00:46:20.310 Traci Park: And that the neighborhood would be taken care of. 385 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:32.310 Traci Park: That did not happen, and I have repeatedly said, and I will say it again right now Mike bonnen did a terrible disservice, not only to our Community and in Venice. 386 00:46:32.580 --> 00:46:42.600 Traci Park: But he has done a terrible disservice to his successor, whether that is me or somebody else because he breached his promises to our Community. 387 00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:57.210 Traci Park: And he turned that facility into the bright shining example of why nobody trusts, the city to manage this problem and, frankly, it has created a set of circumstances where it is going to be more difficult for me. 388 00:46:57.720 --> 00:47:07.440 Traci Park: To go and get the buy in and the communities that I need to bring other types of interventions to scale, so one of the things that I will do when i'm elected if this. 389 00:47:07.830 --> 00:47:16.890 Traci Park: extension on the bridge home goes through is i'm going to keep the promises that Mike bond and broke to our Community, I will enforce this special. 390 00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:24.960 Traci Park: Enforcement zone and ask your question about the Community benefit agreement, I am a huge proponent of those. 391 00:47:25.410 --> 00:47:34.920 Traci Park: You may recall that I came to the dnc and requested support of the Community benefits agreement related to the ramada. 392 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:49.110 Traci Park: and part of the reason I did, that is because the best Community around the bridge home currently has no way of enforcing the broken promises and I don't think that that is right. 393 00:47:49.410 --> 00:48:04.680 Traci Park: I would like to see an enforceable Community benefits agreement associated with every single one of these kinds of interventions and the way that I had proposed it in mind and i'm open to other ideas on this is that if the circumstances. 394 00:48:05.100 --> 00:48:11.580 Traci Park: become a public nuisance as that term is defined under the city's municipal code. 395 00:48:12.390 --> 00:48:21.840 Traci Park: Community Members would have the right to enter into a voluntary abatement process by giving notice in the city, an opportunity to correct the issue. 396 00:48:22.170 --> 00:48:31.080 Traci Park: And if that effort is unsuccessful to submit the matter to a hearing and actually have a decision that would require the city. 397 00:48:31.530 --> 00:48:36.390 Traci Park: To address the problem if the Community concerns are validated in the hearing process. 398 00:48:36.630 --> 00:48:46.650 Traci Park: I think that that is essential and it's something that you are going to continue hearing me promote as I move forward in my campaign and it's something that you are going to see me push for when i'm elected. 399 00:48:47.250 --> 00:49:04.380 Traci Park: As to path you know I think many of us have questions about how that facility has been run the lack of transparency and the lack of successful outcomes, I would like to see that addressed in any further contract and keep path as the primary provider there. 400 00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:07.980 frank murphy: hey Brian. 401 00:49:08.040 --> 00:49:13.380 Brian U: yeah quick follow up on the westminister senior Center it's currently the roll call room for the circle team. 402 00:49:15.120 --> 00:49:32.340 Brian U: It was such a valuable asset to us when we had the Venice of recovery Center in there, that was providing a meetings and other self help support group meetings for hundreds and hundreds of people on a daily basis 10 or 15 meetings with 100 people. 403 00:49:33.390 --> 00:49:38.760 Brian U: Can we get the circle team to go rent office space somewhere else and and. 404 00:49:38.820 --> 00:49:39.090 and 405 00:49:40.770 --> 00:49:49.050 Brian U: And and get the recovery Center back in to what it was supposed to or facility, where we can do detox because there are a detox services for. 406 00:49:49.650 --> 00:49:57.840 Traci Park: Brian Thank you, yes, I would like to see that Center restored to a Community purpose, I do not like that signing for the circle team at that location. 407 00:49:59.580 --> 00:50:03.930 Traci Park: yeah those meetings, by the way, we're in an important Community benefit. 408 00:50:03.930 --> 00:50:13.080 Traci Park: Those we're actually helping people, and so a combination of that are restoring it's used as a senior Center are really important, and I will push for that. 409 00:50:16.410 --> 00:50:18.390 frank murphy: Elizabeth you've had your hand up. 410 00:50:20.640 --> 00:50:21.660 frank murphy: If you like to go. 411 00:50:23.700 --> 00:50:24.810 frank murphy: You need to unmute. 412 00:50:26.490 --> 00:50:26.850 Elizabeth Wright: Yes. 413 00:50:27.870 --> 00:50:37.800 Elizabeth Wright: Every everything that has been mentioned cost money and obviously the city is looking at ways to raise money and the automated. 414 00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:41.820 Elizabeth Wright: billboards surrounding the bus housing. 415 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:49.200 Elizabeth Wright: as good as popular thing, on the other hand, if it raises learning, maybe it's necessary. 416 00:50:52.470 --> 00:50:53.820 Elizabeth Wright: If they do go in. 417 00:50:55.020 --> 00:51:02.130 Elizabeth Wright: With negotiate please that a portion of that be available a portion of that space to be available for. 418 00:51:03.270 --> 00:51:04.980 Elizabeth Wright: Community will work. 419 00:51:07.530 --> 00:51:16.050 Traci Park: Sure So yes, and I don't love the billboards either, but you know, continuing to find the funding sources. 420 00:51:16.650 --> 00:51:35.040 Traci Park: is really important, but I, you know, I think that there are other ways at getting up the funding to we have dedicated a billion dollars of the city's budget this in this budget cycle to addressing these issues those dollars, need to be spent wisely and stretched as. 421 00:51:35.040 --> 00:51:39.960 Traci Park: far as we can, which is part of the reason that I am so adamant about these performance. 422 00:51:40.050 --> 00:51:53.010 Traci Park: metrics and measuring outcomes keep in mind also that there is a massive surplus at the State level, as well as federal funding that continue to be freed up for. 423 00:51:53.220 --> 00:52:08.250 Traci Park: Addressing homelessness in these issues, so I think that there are some ways to get at this event, you know, are already in place that we can use as well, but but but yes Elizabeth, thank you for that question. 424 00:52:09.930 --> 00:52:10.350 frank murphy: Okay. 425 00:52:15.630 --> 00:52:16.050 frank murphy: there's. 426 00:52:19.020 --> 00:52:20.220 frank murphy: No okay. 427 00:52:21.870 --> 00:52:22.740 frank murphy: Stan what. 428 00:52:25.740 --> 00:52:26.370 frank murphy: question. 429 00:52:27.690 --> 00:52:28.920 Traci Park: you're muted Stan. 430 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:33.960 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you Tracy for joining us this evening it's very refreshing to hear. 431 00:52:35.550 --> 00:52:41.820 Ansar Muhammad: Your point of views as it relates to how you represent CD 11 i'm looking forward to seeing you at office. 432 00:52:43.680 --> 00:52:46.920 Ansar Muhammad: I know you're dealing with homeless issues but there's a plethora of rubbish. 433 00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:56.910 Ansar Muhammad: In particular, is what I do every day, which is the game reduction youth development approach in Venice we've been waiting for the past two years. 434 00:52:57.510 --> 00:53:13.290 Ansar Muhammad: To get the beer Davis Center open back up, which is our home and my question is how soon once you've been in the office can really put a spotlight on getting that Center back open, so we won't be homeless, because there's 2000 homeless. 435 00:53:16.350 --> 00:53:17.970 Ansar Muhammad: You get the own place to get. 436 00:53:18.510 --> 00:53:29.520 Ansar Muhammad: Resources coming out the back side, but here we are 25 years, and again in this to administer we're home how soon can we get the beer data Center opened up. 437 00:53:30.150 --> 00:53:32.130 Ansar Muhammad: Yes, you ride to city oh. 438 00:53:32.640 --> 00:53:41.730 Traci Park: That is prioritize getting that done for you ASAP and I also want to thank and acknowledge you for the incredible work that you do. 439 00:53:41.970 --> 00:53:48.510 Traci Park: With the Youth in our Community, and I am really excited at the opportunity to work with you. 440 00:53:48.720 --> 00:54:04.230 Traci Park: and to ensure that we are finding opportunities for the young people that you work with in employment and the other things that they need to carry on the great work that you've done with them as as youth so yeah we're going to get that done for you right away down. 441 00:54:05.130 --> 00:54:07.320 Ansar Muhammad: I don't know if you guys need an endless loop so. 442 00:54:09.600 --> 00:54:11.370 frank murphy: follow up on that Stan. 443 00:54:12.810 --> 00:54:13.290 Ansar Muhammad: just wanted to. 444 00:54:14.580 --> 00:54:15.240 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you chase. 445 00:54:16.170 --> 00:54:16.680 vicki. 446 00:54:18.900 --> 00:54:26.400 frank murphy: We don't have any hands up right now, even though I think some of the questions that you might have pulled up will raise some issues in which. 447 00:54:26.400 --> 00:54:27.600 frank murphy: case we can address them. 448 00:54:28.200 --> 00:54:29.220 frank murphy: If you would go ahead. 449 00:54:29.670 --> 00:54:36.060 Vicki Halliday: there's some interesting ones here um one brother specific um. 450 00:54:37.980 --> 00:54:48.060 Vicki Halliday: percentage of the homeless or transients with past criminal records um isn't this information, vital to offering real time solutions. 451 00:54:49.740 --> 00:55:02.790 Traci Park: So that's a really good question and I don't know that I have a data point on exactly how many of them have passed criminal records I just don't have a number. 452 00:55:03.390 --> 00:55:12.210 Traci Park: i'm willing to say that it is likely, a substantial number and, in part, that is because of some. 453 00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:26.460 Traci Park: pieces of legislation over the last decade ab 109 and prop 57 both were legislative efforts addressed at reducing prison overcrowding. 454 00:55:26.940 --> 00:55:37.800 Traci Park: And that was an important thing it needed to be done, so what we saw was a reduction of certain they considered non violent felonies. 455 00:55:38.550 --> 00:55:47.490 Traci Park: To you know misdemeanors or non violent status and so folks 10s of thousands were moved out of state prisons and into county jails. 456 00:55:47.790 --> 00:56:04.710 Traci Park: which led to historic overpopulation county jails and then early release for a lot of offenders, now there is no question, and there is no debate that no one should be serving needlessly long jail or prison time for truly Nonviolent offenses. 457 00:56:05.130 --> 00:56:07.350 Traci Park: The problem that we have seen. 458 00:56:07.380 --> 00:56:18.750 Traci Park: Is that these folks were released without a transition plan without a place to live without a place to work without a way to support themselves. 459 00:56:19.050 --> 00:56:30.750 Traci Park: And there is a lot of empirical data that shows when someone is being released from jail or prison if they don't have a family member to meet them at the door and take them home. 460 00:56:31.020 --> 00:56:39.570 Traci Park: They are going to end up right back on the streets were so many folks came from, and so we have had 10s upon 10s of thousands of these releases. 461 00:56:40.170 --> 00:56:47.370 Traci Park: end up back on the streets in recent years, so I suspect, even though I don't have a specific data point on what the percentage is. 462 00:56:47.730 --> 00:57:01.710 Traci Park: That that number is significantly high So what do we need to do about that right having criminal convictions in your history can be a barrier to housing, they can be a barrier to employment and we need to. 463 00:57:02.190 --> 00:57:15.300 Traci Park: amplify the work of organizations that are willing to hire people with criminal convictions in their backgrounds and I will say you know a lot of the building and trades have tremendous apprentice programs. 464 00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:21.360 Traci Park: You know organization Stan I know that you really focus on that those employment opportunities, as well. 465 00:57:21.630 --> 00:57:36.270 Traci Park: And I think that those are pieces of the puzzle that we are going to have to include are the education and employment services to get those folks the opportunities that they need in order to stabilize and reintegrate back into our communities. 466 00:57:38.460 --> 00:57:46.830 Vicki Halliday: Thank you um another one it's sort of a two fold question um, what do you think about housing first. 467 00:57:47.910 --> 00:57:59.460 Vicki Halliday: And, did you know that your opponent say that you will build many P sh developments in Venice far more than your opponent, including the median. 468 00:58:00.300 --> 00:58:15.690 Vicki Halliday: And the lot of times on a place um this is this is from one of the stakeholders um and you know we get to you know argue for or against the monster in the media is it's none. 469 00:58:16.020 --> 00:58:24.930 Traci Park: Okay, so let me, let me tackle all of the pieces, let me start with the monster on the median I have been very vocal and my opposition to that project. 470 00:58:25.260 --> 00:58:37.170 Traci Park: There are numerous reasons why I am against it size scale lack of oversight cost location impact on Community all of that. 471 00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:51.510 Traci Park: The cost alone to me, is one of the most egregious examples of government waste, we cannot build at $1.2 million per door and expect that we are going to solve homelessness with. 472 00:58:51.570 --> 00:58:58.560 Traci Park: New developed at that rate of spending, we would need somewhere between 25 and $50 billion. 473 00:58:58.860 --> 00:59:08.550 Traci Park: To get out of this and we don't have that if we just we are resources are far more limited, so I am against the median project, and I have been very outspoken. 474 00:59:09.150 --> 00:59:28.740 Traci Park: In my position on that when it comes to housing, first, I think that it is one model, it is one approach, I do not think it is the only approach that should be on the table, and unfortunately. 475 00:59:29.190 --> 00:59:41.760 Traci Park: number of years back, following suit from the Federal Government California also passed a law that tethered state dollars for homeless housing to the housing first model. 476 00:59:42.120 --> 00:59:50.700 Traci Park: Many cities large cities, especially, including Los Angeles around the state followed suit and that is something that I disagree with. 477 00:59:51.030 --> 01:00:10.200 Traci Park: I think we got to be able to add some other types of models to the menu recovery housing I don't think that allowing continued use of drugs and alcohol and settings where children are present is appropriate, we have all seen. 478 01:00:10.740 --> 01:00:25.050 Traci Park: What has happened around the Venice bridge home the ramada across the street for me another housing first model we have had repeated overdoses and deaths There we have got to take a much. 479 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:34.230 Traci Park: stricter approach on some of these settings I would not put another housing first model that is poorly managed the way the bridge home is. 480 01:00:34.410 --> 01:00:43.440 Traci Park: That has had the spillover effects like that has in our Community and another residential neighborhood and not next to a school, not in a park. 481 01:00:43.950 --> 01:00:49.380 Traci Park: Certainly we're not going to be using our beaches and our parks for this kind of development and programming. 482 01:00:49.590 --> 01:00:58.140 Traci Park: So there may be locations where it is suitable where the impact on an existing Community actually could be mitigated. 483 01:00:58.410 --> 01:01:06.810 Traci Park: I do not have the same kind of heartburn about putting housing for families with children into the fabric of an existing neighborhood. 484 01:01:07.200 --> 01:01:13.140 Traci Park: And so it's something that I would like to see as we get more granular. 485 01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:21.390 Traci Park: You know we've got to have recovery housing, you know we've got to be able to have places where sobriety and recovery are being centered. 486 01:01:21.600 --> 01:01:38.490 Traci Park: People who are on the streets, who do not use drugs and alcohol tell me, often, they do not want to go into housing, with people who are we've got to make options available for them to so housing first cannot be the only thing on the model. 487 01:01:39.180 --> 01:01:46.470 Traci Park: You mentioned that I someone had asked was am I going to put more permanent supportive housing in Venice and am I going to use pisani place. 488 01:01:46.680 --> 01:01:53.190 Traci Park: You know, we are going to come together as a community and decide for ourselves, through a collaborative process. 489 01:01:53.610 --> 01:02:02.910 Traci Park: What makes sense and where we're going to put things, what I am not going to do as a Council member is what Mike bodden has done to our Community. 490 01:02:03.210 --> 01:02:08.340 Traci Park: Which is saying this is what it's going to be and where it's going to go and public input be damned. 491 01:02:08.940 --> 01:02:24.690 Traci Park: that's not how we're going to address this, I believe that communities ought to have a say in designing for themselves what's appropriate and we will collaborate and decide what kinds of interventions out what skill and what locations makes sense and that's how we're going to do this. 492 01:02:25.740 --> 01:02:26.520 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Tracy. 493 01:02:26.730 --> 01:02:27.480 Traci Park: Walker vicki. 494 01:02:28.710 --> 01:02:39.960 Vicki Halliday: um there were numerous other questions that were more on an emotional level, an anger level of what the streets your life now. 495 01:02:40.830 --> 01:02:52.050 Vicki Halliday: and one that that really hit me and reading through all of these um said government creates countless rules that all members of society must abide by. 496 01:02:52.530 --> 01:03:08.370 Vicki Halliday: These are norms that stipulate how people must behave in society or failing to meet those norms, they are removed from the environment, why does that not apply to the homeless and business shouldn't they be required to abide by the same norms and rules. 497 01:03:09.420 --> 01:03:16.740 Vicki Halliday: That we are and and I realized that there are a lot of emotional questions like that that people had thought about. 498 01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:33.090 Traci Park: yeah what what i'm hearing in that question is a frustration with the ever increasing amount of crime and violence and I hear it in every meeting that I do in every town hall that I host. 499 01:03:33.510 --> 01:03:43.650 Traci Park: And I understand it, I feel it too, and I think that we are all tired of the lawlessness of the chaos. 500 01:03:44.070 --> 01:03:52.230 Traci Park: Of the disparate treatment that some folks get and the fact that we're not all being held accountable to the same set of standards. 501 01:03:52.920 --> 01:04:02.460 Traci Park: But law should be applied equally to everyone folks shouldn't be getting a pass for committing crimes, based on housing status. 502 01:04:02.820 --> 01:04:17.160 Traci Park: And unfortunately, you know here in CD 11 we have had a Council member that has had a very contentious relationship with law enforcement and that has impacted their ability we've also had. 503 01:04:17.700 --> 01:04:24.990 Traci Park: them, I see the tide turning on this Council as a whole that hasn't been supportive of law enforcement and, in part, you know. 504 01:04:25.890 --> 01:04:43.650 Traci Park: Voters contributed to this as well right we pass prop 47 which you know another piece of legislation that likely was well intended has led to a significant amount of increased crime across our communities, we have seen this year and. 505 01:04:45.720 --> 01:04:53.370 Traci Park: The highest murder rates in the last 15 years and we have seen violent crime increase year after year, for the last three. 506 01:04:53.730 --> 01:05:08.310 Traci Park: And so that public safety component of this is very real and when I am elected I am going to empower our law enforcement and public safety partners to do their job. 507 01:05:08.670 --> 01:05:18.930 Traci Park: They do not have to call me first for permission my expectation is that they are enforcing all of our laws consistently across the board. 508 01:05:20.370 --> 01:05:31.290 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, that that leads and partially answers the last question that I have from a stakeholder what should be the lapd role in this crisis. 509 01:05:31.650 --> 01:05:33.390 Vicki Halliday: and deeply they have a role. 510 01:05:33.930 --> 01:05:35.340 Vicki Halliday: And what should that role be. 511 01:05:35.490 --> 01:05:45.060 Traci Park: And so, their role is to enforce criminal laws, I do not believe that they should necessarily be tasked with responding. 512 01:05:45.300 --> 01:05:52.680 Traci Park: To mental health calls and that sort of thing we are going to have to get more creative in how we are augmenting. 513 01:05:52.890 --> 01:06:03.030 Traci Park: The services that they are providing whether that's social workers or mental health counselors that are rolling out in real time we have been talking about this for several years now. 514 01:06:03.600 --> 01:06:14.250 Traci Park: If I have someone, and I do outside my home, who is clearly in emotional distress having a mental health crisis, there is no one to call. 515 01:06:14.610 --> 01:06:23.340 Traci Park: You can go to the county department of mental health website and fish around you might find a link that will you could click on it it'll take you to a brochure I don't want a brochure. 516 01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:31.170 Traci Park: I want a real time response from someone that is going to help solve the problem and get the person in distress, the help they need. 517 01:06:31.530 --> 01:06:38.400 Traci Park: That is not necessarily the job of law enforcement and I am certainly open to the concept of supplementing. 518 01:06:38.730 --> 01:06:51.900 Traci Park: Our resources so that police do not have to continue to be overburdened but police are there to enforce our criminal laws and my expectation is that they will continue to do so when I am elected. 519 01:06:52.740 --> 01:06:55.710 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, and then my personal question would be. 520 01:06:57.090 --> 01:07:01.500 Vicki Halliday: If we are going to have these agencies like urban alchemy, and the. 521 01:07:01.500 --> 01:07:02.130 Traci Park: circle T. 522 01:07:03.120 --> 01:07:03.840 um. 523 01:07:05.100 --> 01:07:11.730 Vicki Halliday: Why is it that they the whole idea of it and the organizational structure of it doesn't seem better vetted. 524 01:07:12.420 --> 01:07:21.780 Vicki Halliday: I mean I watched them every day on the boardwalk and at Westminster and there seems to be no rhyme or reason about who they talked to. 525 01:07:22.110 --> 01:07:34.830 Vicki Halliday: I did ask them recently one morning on the boardwalk when they bypass two people who are clearly in mental distress and I said, are you going to talk to them Oh, we talked to them last week. 526 01:07:36.120 --> 01:07:36.360 It. 527 01:07:38.010 --> 01:07:45.420 Vicki Halliday: But it's the here and now, and they're there with no one else to deal with, so why just bypass yeah. 528 01:07:45.690 --> 01:07:58.080 Traci Park: yeah well that's it's a good question becky and I share a lot of the frustrations, I see what you see and that's just one example of it my frustration level with. 529 01:07:59.370 --> 01:08:04.410 Traci Park: The silo wing of our service providers that are nonprofits it's just through the roof. 530 01:08:04.740 --> 01:08:10.770 Traci Park: Right, I am so tired of talking to one organization and saying that's not our job that's not our territory. 531 01:08:11.070 --> 01:08:19.530 Traci Park: or someone else saying you know this isn't the level of service that I perform we have got to get people cross collaborating. 532 01:08:19.830 --> 01:08:25.740 Traci Park: And that what you're describing vicki is the exact kind of thing when I am talking about performance metrics. 533 01:08:26.010 --> 01:08:41.310 Traci Park: I want to have it clearly spelled out what our expectations for engagement are, and I want the service providers doing what we're paying them to do and we're going to get at that, through the contracting and tying the compensation to it. 534 01:08:42.240 --> 01:08:45.540 Vicki Halliday: Great Thank you frank back to you you've not asked a question. 535 01:08:46.590 --> 01:08:49.290 frank murphy: Okay, well, I have one last. 536 01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:51.750 frank murphy: bit here. 537 01:08:53.460 --> 01:08:56.220 frank murphy: But the clock on myself and. 538 01:08:58.380 --> 01:08:59.100 frank murphy: Tracy. 539 01:08:59.280 --> 01:09:20.430 frank murphy: From all of the questions that you've gotten from everybody this evening and we're going to wrap up the questioning i'm sorry pat we're not going to do another round um but from all of these questions, what is your takeaway from this meeting, and how would you how would you. 540 01:09:21.870 --> 01:09:22.260 You know. 541 01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:31.230 frank murphy: What more can you add what what what What would you add to that you take away from this meeting with us. 542 01:09:31.710 --> 01:09:46.230 Traci Park: yeah my my takeaway in this is your sense of urgency and your level of frustration and I recognize that you guys are sending me to City Hall, with a mandate. 543 01:09:46.710 --> 01:10:01.770 Traci Park: To get these issues addressed as quickly and efficiently as we can my takeaway from these questions is that you recognize how complicated and complex. 544 01:10:02.220 --> 01:10:15.030 Traci Park: problem is and that you recognize that there are a lot of moving parts that all have to be working together in order to get this done and I am adamant that we are going to bring the leadership and the accountability. 545 01:10:15.240 --> 01:10:26.850 Traci Park: And the Community collaboration back to how we are addressing and managing this problem, like many of you, I have been in this Community, and increasingly frustrated. 546 01:10:27.150 --> 01:10:35.490 Traci Park: By the unwillingness of our Council member to hear us to collaborate with us to address our concerns. 547 01:10:36.090 --> 01:10:47.490 Traci Park: So I got in this race that ends with me, I expect you to hold me accountable I want your input I want your help solving this problem and designing what the right solutions. 548 01:10:47.760 --> 01:11:02.160 Traci Park: For us here in Venice are going to be when you're going to have my partnership to do that it's why i'm here that's why i'm running and I welcome the opportunity to do that as we move forward, but I hear your urgency and I hear your frustration, I share it. 549 01:11:04.530 --> 01:11:05.190 frank murphy: Tracy. 550 01:11:05.490 --> 01:11:05.760 Vicki Halliday: Thank. 551 01:11:05.850 --> 01:11:07.800 frank murphy: you so much for your. 552 01:11:10.290 --> 01:11:14.190 frank murphy: Time here, and we really

murphy: Item one. 629 01:19:31.530 --> 01:19:34.050 Vicki Halliday: Item one on the agenda on the screen. 630 01:19:35.490 --> 01:19:37.950 Vicki Halliday: That adding to the. 631 01:19:39.000 -->

634 01:19:46.500 --> 01:19:58.890 Lionel Mares: Okay wow okay i'll make this brief I don't think that further criminalization of homelessness isn't gonna do anything because I live in a neighborhood where we have announced people to in the San Fernando valley and. 635 01:19:59.550 --> 01:20:08.700 Lionel Mares: What i've seen my own eyes simple web read as Eric time on each customer pushes and on house or homeless individual from place to place. 636 01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:16.290 Lionel Mares: As a revolving door it's a cycle and they're going to disappear, and many of these individuals are dying. 637 01:20:17.190 --> 01:20:29.040 Lionel Mares: i've seen people infected because some of them are diabetic and that infection under legs and some of them can aren't able to seek medical attention because the last up. 638 01:20:29.580 --> 01:20:42.030 Lionel Mares: I are trying to find where they are and they're being moved from place to place and I don't think that expanding the 41 point 18 Minutes will quote or do anything that have with each Council. 639 01:20:42.330 --> 01:20:53.040 Lionel Mares: needs to take part in solving this building public housing, not just you know pushing them away and why other constants you have to take the burden it's not fair for. 640 01:20:53.100 --> 01:20:55.440 frank murphy: that's one that's one minute, why no. 641 01:20:55.500 --> 01:20:57.150 frank murphy: Okay, what is your. 642 01:20:57.360 --> 01:20:57.780 Your. 643 01:21:00.210 --> 01:21:01.020 Vicki Halliday: Erica more. 644 01:21:03.240 --> 01:21:08.340 Erica Moore: hey there um, I just wanted to encourage everybody who's listening to. 645 01:21:09.420 --> 01:21:20.790 Erica Moore: follow the agenda and I wanted to say that I am absolutely in favor of this, I think it makes a lot of sense because it's not about criminalizing homeless it's about having a space for when kids and stuff like that are. 646 01:21:21.060 --> 01:21:21.990 Erica Moore: going to the. 647 01:21:22.050 --> 01:21:24.750 Erica Moore: library they're not having to mitigate. 648 01:21:25.890 --> 01:21:41.160 Erica Moore: And people and needles and things like that, so I absolutely think we need to find a place for the homeless, to be absolutely but I don't think near eight within 500 feet of a library is where they should be so i've strongly in favor of this as well, thank you. 649 01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:42.390 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Erica. 650 01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:48.420 Vicki Halliday: Susan and Mike did you have a comment on this motion. 651 01:21:51.690 --> 01:21:53.760

is that never an issue so there's almost no public bathrooms libraries happen to have them. 664 01:22:41.670 --> 01:22:50.010 Margaret Molloy: And, most people have belongings, because their house with no where to store them, you all know that so yeah Of course we want safe. 665 01:22:50.400 --> 01:22:55.800 Margaret Molloy: You know kids space, but we also need to be humane and these are publicly funded public. 666 01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:14.670 Margaret Molloy: facilities and institutions and amenities, you cannot discriminate against who goes and who doesn't go inside of a public facility in that way, and it will be a discrimination lawsuit that's obvious so like why spend time on this stuff's spent among solutions, please, thank you. 667 01:23:14.910 --> 01:23:19.590 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Margaret um let's see Lisa redmond Lisa go ahead. 668 01:23:21.870 --> 01:23:22.350 Lisa Redmond: i'm. 669 01:23:23.700 --> 01:23:33.510 Lisa Redmond: 4118 is bad it's just bad bad news and any attempt to expand it further, is just taking away anything. 670 01:23:34.680 --> 01:23:48.480 Lisa Redmond: and making fewer and fewer places for people to live, but this one is especially harmful because you are basically dictating people that are humans constituents stakeholders. 671 01:23:49.650 --> 01:24:02.280 Lisa Redmond: who have a right to go into the library by picking and choosing who gets to use a library by saying i'm sorry, you do not have a permanent roof over your House over your head at night you're not the library. 672 01:24:03.420 --> 01:24:13.560 Lisa Redmond: it's just you're picking and choosing and it's just plain wrong, I will be going to City Hall tomorrow to fight against any expansion of further. 673 01:24:15.660 --> 01:24:20.040 Lisa Redmond: it's just bad news, and I would encourage everybody to vote against it. 674 01:24:21.450 --> 01:24:22.440 frank murphy: Thank you Lisa. 675 01:24:23.250 --> 01:24:25.590 Vicki Halliday: On next up Helen Helen Helen Juliet. 676 01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:41.550 Helen Fallon: wow, I would like to urge you to vote in favor of this, I think we experience we're having 500 feet of a homeless encampment near the library resulted in it resulted in. 677 01:24:42.120 --> 01:24:48.750 Helen Fallon: The Community being excluded from using the facility it resulted from a fire resulted in a fire. 678 01:24:49.380 --> 01:24:55.980 Helen Fallon: That potentially could have seriously damage the building because families to stop coming to the library. 679 01:24:56.670 --> 01:25:03.330 Helen Fallon: It 500 feet, is not that big a distance and there's a lot of space in La and a lot of miles. 680 01:25:03.720 --> 01:25:13.500 Helen Fallon: And this is this is allowing a public facility with the library to be available for everyone to use, no one was preventing homeless people from using the library. 681 01:25:13.860 --> 01:25:30.660 Helen Fallon: Prior to that encampment moving next to it in Venice, but once they and Cameron was there, it just became an attraction for criminals for crazy people, it was so disruptive and so chaotic It made it impossible for library to operate, so please vote to support this Thank you. 682 01:25:31.350 --> 01:25:36.180 Vicki Halliday: Thanks um okay john T john go ahead. 683 01:25:39.300 --> 01:25:46.530 John T: Please support this and give the public back the library anyone can use it during the day we just can't have. 684 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:50.760 John T: Illegal encampments in the library thanks. 685 01:25:51.330 --> 01:25:55.200 Vicki Halliday: Thank you john on a Nick engine jello. 686 01:25:58.110 --> 01:25:58.830 Vicki Halliday: Nick go ahead. 687 01:26:00.390 --> 01:26:09.270 Nick Antonicello: The reason for this motion is obvious, because all you have to do is look at the condition of the library today have a fence around it. 688 01:26:09.750 --> 01:26:16.410 Nick Antonicello: The building probably should be raised and so dysfunctional inside the reason one goes to libraries to. 689 01:26:16.890 --> 01:26:23.910 Nick Antonicello: Get books and videos and other things it's not a place to live it's not a place to take a shower and a public bathroom. 690 01:26:24.900 --> 01:26:37.530 Nick Antonicello: And this kind of motion is what we need to make sure that the larva is used to the appropriate purposes and doesn't turn into a surface what you've been for the last seven months, thank you. 691 01:26:38.460 --> 01:26:39.090 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Nick. 692 01:26:40.230 --> 01:26:43.800 Vicki Halliday:

think that you know there's there's no end in sight so having some balanced rules to make sure that things like libraries are open to everybody. 696 01:26:57.810 --> 01:27:08.850 Isaac c: are safe for us it's just kind of common sense type of changes that we need to stop is complex, but balancing the kind of use for everybody is super important, so I support this. 697 01:27:10.290 --> 01:27:15.360 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Isaac um that's the end of public comment frank want to take a vote. 698 01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:18.570 frank murphy: Go to community. 699 01:27:18.600 --> 01:27:19.500 Vicki

01:28:04.500 Vicki Halliday: tonight and rewrite out. 706 01:28:07.770 --> 01:28:12.330 Elizabeth Wright: And I have a question about the final paragraph. 707 01:28:13.500 --> 01:28:18.570 Elizabeth Wright: Where it we're at the bottom, it says, you recently did read grind is that what. 708 01:28:20.070 --> 01:28:24.330 Vicki Halliday: I need to change Blumenthal and I need to change that lives, I am aware that. 709 01:28:24.480 --> 01:28:26.940 Elizabeth Wright: yeah okay i'll get with you. 710 01:28:28.500 --> 01:28:28.860 Elizabeth Wright: Thank you. 711 01:28:29.550 --> 01:28:29.970 Thank you. 712 01:28:35.010 --> 01:28:46.170 Vicki Halliday: I mean, I think it's a self explanatory motion it just helps with what we've endured at centennial and could and other places, I think it says sensible amendment. 713 01:28:51.450 --> 01:28:51.990 frank murphy: God. 714 01:28:52.770 --> 01:29:14.670 Jody Mortimer: yeah my my comment is to the individual i'm sorry I don't remember his name, though, was saying that making this this motion would make it illegal for the homeless, to use the library that's not the case, they can still use the library, they just can't camp at the library on the sidewalk. 715 01:29:15.810 --> 01:29:26.520 Jody Mortimer: I don't see this discrimination and myself being homeless primarily helpless I don't see this discrimination see it was it was it was a pretty common sense. 716 01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:28.230 Jody Mortimer: So yeah. 717 01:29:34.500 --> 01:29:35.490 frank murphy: anybody else. 718 01:29:40.740 --> 01:29:41.610 frank murphy: um. 719 01:29:43.410 --> 01:29:44.550 frank murphy: Well, I think. 720 01:29:46.530 --> 01:29:49.620 frank murphy: vicki I think we can take a vote on it and. 721 01:29:52.200 --> 01:29:57.270 frank murphy: You know, and then we can adjust it later if need be, and that's the way it's gotta be. 722 01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:57.900 yeah. 723 01:29:59.370 --> 01:30:01.200 Pat Raphael: that's a question for everybody. 724 01:30:03.900 --> 01:30:04.920 frank murphy: yeah yeah. 725 01:30:05.100 --> 01:30:06.870 frank murphy: I mean, I was asking for comments. 726 01:30:06.870 --> 01:30:10.560 Pat Raphael: And I raised my physical hand because. 727 01:30:11.040 --> 01:30:11.610 frank murphy: i'm sorry. 728 01:30:11.970 --> 01:30:15.630 frank murphy: I didn't see your screen I apologize yeah. 729 01:30:16.050 --> 01:30:27.540 Pat Raphael: So basically we want to make sure that we're not adding to a thing that's already not working right, so the current. 730 01:30:29.250 --> 01:30:32.100 Pat Raphael: Application of 41. 731 01:30:34.650 --> 01:30:47.310 Pat Raphael: The sidewalk camping group man right it's already in place every day from seven in the morning to 9pm at night right so it's not about the library we're talking about. 732 01:30:48.150 --> 01:30:54.450 Pat Raphael: we're seeing that people are attracted to the library, because a lot of the services that were failing to provide. 733 01:30:54.960 --> 01:31:01.560 Pat Raphael: The library also has it there for people to to access, so what i'm asking is. 734 01:31:02.070 --> 01:31:12.660 Pat Raphael: If the ban on camping on the sidewalk and setting up a tent all day is already in place and it's not being enforced, why is adding this thing to say. 735 01:31:13.620 --> 01:31:23.040 Pat Raphael: Now let's put a specific emphasis around the library when do we know why people are being attracted to the library just something for us to think about as we're. 736 01:31:23.400 --> 01:31:26.640 Pat Raphael: Probably bought the press this thing for. 737 01:31:28.710 --> 01:31:29.760 frank murphy: Thank thank. 738 01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:36.420 frank murphy: Okay. 739 01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:47.670 frank murphy: My comment, and I appreciate pets COM, and I do understand that the full, you know that this is a. 740 01:31:50.160 --> 01:32:01.500 frank murphy: You know that that the overall problem is going to be solved by this one situation, but this one situation is something that needs to be addressed is my only comment on that. 741 01:32:02.040 --> 01:32:17.760 frank murphy: And so, even if we have to do situation by situation that's the way we got to do it that's what we got to do so, I would say I would vote for this in order to at least get one item. 742 01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:19.590 frank murphy: Out of the way. 743 01:32:20.850 --> 01:32:21.600 frank murphy: um. 744 01:32:22.830 --> 01:32:26.010 frank murphy: Does anybody else have any comments saying. 745 01:32:26.820 --> 01:32:29.400 Ansar Muhammad: I don't comment but I guess I can, I think. 746 01:32:32.160 --> 01:32:34.260 Ansar Muhammad: If there was no criminal activity. 747 01:32:35.820 --> 01:32:38.280 Ansar Muhammad: Drug use overdoses etc. 748 01:32:39.690 --> 01:32:43.950 Ansar Muhammad: attached to what we're talking about we've been a with. 749 01:32:45.270 --> 01:32:58.440 Ansar Muhammad: A schools and libraries and things of that nature, I probably wouldn't go for it, but because of the criminal you know it's not we keep saying homeless, but let's let's notice thing down to. 750 01:32:59.460 --> 01:33:07.080 Ansar Muhammad: The criminal element, the violence, you know the abuse the sexual assaults and things of that nature that happens. 751 01:33:07.770 --> 01:33:26.640 Ansar Muhammad: And when we want to really address it that's the elephant in the room, and nobody is talking about it, I think it's the homeless situation didn't have those elements this wouldn't be necessary, but because of these elements, you have you know attics man and. 752 01:33:28.260 --> 01:33:33.450 Ansar Muhammad: things happen that shouldn't be happening in some of these areas, I mean stuff that i've seen with my own eyes. 753 01:33:34.230 --> 01:33:43.890 Ansar Muhammad: And nobody's addressing it so for that reason I will build for this, because we're looking at sensitive areas like schools and libraries. 754 01:33:44.430 --> 01:33:55.980 Ansar Muhammad: That common folk and civilians is being impacted by it so that's just I wasn't going to speak to it, but I think you know I think it's only appropriate that I do thank you. 755 01:33:56.790 --> 01:33:58.800 frank murphy: Thank you, Sam okay. 756 01:34:00.240 --> 01:34:01.110 frank murphy: anybody else. 757 01:34:04.320 --> 01:34:05.850

safe places for them to store their personal and important documents motion, the city of Los Angeles provide safe, secure and maintain lockers with a local announced using the already established to

These lockers of various sizes incorporate the airport temporary locker mode, you can deposit or 60 gallons in model, and then I don't know just yet with motion thanks. 782 01:36:33.960 --> 01:36:34.650 frank murphy: Okay. 783 01:36:35.670 --> 01:36:36.570 frank murphy: We need a. 784 01:36:38.070 --> 01:36:40.890 frank murphy: A somebody makes emotion. 785 01:36:42.240 --> 01:36:43.410 Vicki Halliday: i'll make the motion. 786 01:36:46.080 --> 01:36:46.860 frank murphy: seconded. 787 01:36:47.490 --> 01:36:48.960 Okay, public comment. 788 01:36:50.670 --> 01:36:52.440 frank murphy: Oh i'm sorry who second. 789 01:36:56.370 --> 01:36:59.040 Brian U: matt oh standing. 790 01:37:00.270 --> 01:37:00.750 frank murphy: standing. 791 01:37:07.500 --> 01:37:09.570 frank murphy: Okay, so now we're. 792 01:37:10.770 --> 01:37:12.060 frank murphy: At public comment. 793 01:37:12.480 --> 01:37:14.670 Vicki Halliday: yeah let me get this up. 794 01:37:15.750 --> 01:37:19.740 Vicki Halliday: um first step is Nick Nick go ahead. 795 01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:30.810 Nick Antonicello: yeah, this is the second time this has been brought up in the language you have here, it says these lockers the various side and incorporate. 796 01:37:31.380 --> 01:37:39.060 Nick Antonicello: Your point airport temporary locker mode safety deposit box for 60 Gal and then model is a big difference. 797 01:37:39.780 --> 01:37:50.250 Nick Antonicello: between a safety deposit box for what's at the airport and a 60 down then ma, so I think you really need to kind of clean that language up. 798 01:37:50.820 --> 01:37:59.040 Nick Antonicello: and say exactly what you're seeking and I think the location is important too, because it's very generic where we're going to put this. 799 01:37:59.520 --> 01:38:14.520 Nick Antonicello: And like I said there's a big difference between a 60 gallon been model which we had down at the paddle courts years if some of you recall, and just having a box for like personal documents and things like that. 800 01:38:16.740 --> 01:38:17.370 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Nick. 801 01:38:17.760 --> 01:38:20.010 Vicki Halliday: I think Margaret go ahead. 802 01:38:21.480 --> 01:38:33.690 Margaret Molloy: yeah I like the sentiment of it, but I don't think it's practical and there's a lot of elderly and you are incessantly talking about mentally ill people are they supposed to get to these locations and. 803 01:38:34.290 --> 01:38:43.860 Margaret Molloy: You know there's so much criticism of bridge housing, so now you want all of the people who are announced to be going in and out of rich housing for storage. 804 01:38:44.220 --> 01:38:52.830 Margaret Molloy: I don't think you people like think these things through in a meaningful way because you're trying to close down bridge housing you're trying to. 805 01:38:53.190 --> 01:39:05.100 Margaret Molloy: not allow an extension of it, and nobody seems to acknowledge that there was a coven pandemic and the scares scares thousand foot area was suspended for co but. 806 01:39:05.670 --> 01:39:14.580 Margaret Molloy: Why don't you start with that and all your statements of criticism of the you know area around bridge housing, it has been enforced recently. 807 01:39:14.970 --> 01:39:24.180 Margaret Molloy: Why don't you acknowledge that you know Tracy pork is on here and she's saying silo going of services, you can't call anybody for mental health, but you all want. 808 01:39:24.690 --> 01:39:26.760 Margaret Molloy: That, unlike bonnet so. 809 01:39:26.910 --> 01:39:31.920 Margaret Molloy: Yes, you absolutely need storage, but you all got rid of these Margaret. 810 01:39:32.040 --> 01:39:32.880 frank murphy: Thank you, Margaret. 811 01:39:35.880 --> 01:39:38.490 Vicki Halliday: On next up there with a go ahead girl. 812 01:39:42.000 --> 01:39:58.080 Darryl DuFay: hi Thank you, as I looked over the motion, I asked the question has anybody contact and St joseph's or bridge nowadays if they have space for this, and the second thing is accessibility. 813 01:39:59.610 --> 01:40:12.450 Darryl DuFay: Alright, so going to be open for anybody that has something there an hour a day an hour a week, that is not addressed I think they're this motion needs more work, thank you. 814 01:40:13.470 --> 01:40:17.850 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Darrell um next up Lisa redmond go ahead Lisa. 815 01:40:20.490 --> 01:40:32.520 Lisa Redmond: i'm again, like last month, I really appreciate the intention of providing storage for our House stakeholders, but there's a lot to be desired in this motion. 816 01:40:32.910 --> 01:40:42.720 Lisa Redmond: In the sense of you're asking the city of Los Angeles, to provide the materials and just assuming that St joseph's is going to want to jump on board and take care of it. 817 01:40:44.010 --> 01:40:47.520 Lisa Redmond: And then, as awful as I think path has been. 818 01:40:48.780 --> 01:41:00.870 Lisa Redmond: Being providing services and not being a good neighbor The one thing that they have done right and kept the promise to is there are no walk up services allowed at the bridge home. 819 01:41:01.650 --> 01:41:10.890 Lisa Redmond: Right you can't demand that that happens, because there are no walk up services at the bridge home, so that is not an apple storage facility. 820 01:41:12.030 --> 01:41:22.680 Lisa Redmond: I do know for a fact that chrysalis has a couple storage bins they would like to put some in Venice, but they had some very specific reasonings of where they should be, maybe somebody. 821 01:41:23.550 --> 01:41:24.030 Lisa Redmond: With them. 822 01:41:25.050 --> 01:41:27.450 Lisa Redmond: and talk to chrysalis they have staff people. 823 01:41:29.730 --> 01:41:30.180 frank murphy: Thank you. 824 01:41:30.480 --> 01:41:33.720 Vicki Halliday: Thank you Lisa i'm Erica go ahead. 825 01:41:36.090 --> 01:41:44.640 Erica Moore: hi there, I just wanted to say that I love the intention to I mean I think everybody should have a place to put their stuff and especially if you are on how. 826 01:41:45.090 --> 01:41:51.300 Erica Moore: What a nightmare, and your special papers should have a special kind of box within the storage unit to keep those things saying. 827 01:41:51.840 --> 01:42:01.110 Erica Moore: But I do agree that this has to be looked at as to the structure of it, and I think that there needs to be a conversation with people who are more familiar with. 828 01:42:01.740 --> 01:42:07.950 Erica Moore: This system and how this system does work, meaning the places like what Lisa redmond was just talking about certain places. 829 01:42:08.460 --> 01:42:25.410 Erica Moore: Possibly could facilitate that but others probably couldn't I think that there has to be a wider net thrown to be able to examine this particular situation, but I am in favor of something, but not but not this way this is written at this time, thanks so much for your efforts on they. 830 01:42:25.650 --> 01:42:26.010 Were. 831 01:42:27.510 --> 01:42:47.790 Vicki Halliday: um can I raise my hand and say something on when it comes to bridge housing there, there is unused land there, especially on the Pacific side um I think it could be possible to put a separate gate up and a fenced off area. 832 01:42:48.990 --> 01:43:11.160 Vicki Halliday: Where storage could be maintained and it wouldn't be a walk up service of bridge housing, it would just be using some of that land, but I think all sorts of stuff like that God has to be you know kind of figured out um and I agree with everybody, I think the heart of the motion is great. 833 01:43:12.900 --> 01:43:20.640 Vicki Halliday: I i'm torn about how much do you information do you provide to the city or do you just. 834 01:43:20.640 --> 01:43:21.300 Vicki Halliday: provide. 835 01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:32.280 Vicki Halliday: The concept of this and we're pushing the concept and then let the city figure it out, I mean they don't figure things out too well, as it is so it's probably better to. 836 01:43:33.930 --> 01:43:37.890 Vicki Halliday: Give them give them as much information as possible or as much detail. 837 01:43:39.030 --> 01:43:40.440 frank murphy: we're in committee. 838 01:43:41.040 --> 01:43:41.490 Committee. 839 01:43:44.160 --> 01:43:46.560 frank murphy: yeah Stan you had your hand up. 840 01:43:47.070 --> 01:43:56.910 Ansar Muhammad: yeah i'm looking at it, this is a great great idea I think everybody spoke to the audience spoke to it, I think it needs to be. 841 01:43:58.680 --> 01:44:10.290 Ansar Muhammad: built upon I think when we bring these type of motions, we should have example where the where this type of operation is currently taking place. 842 01:44:10.920 --> 01:44:19.890 Ansar Muhammad: How successful Is it because what we don't want to happen, but something in front of the city council or the neighborhood Council to get it voted down so. 843 01:44:20.550 --> 01:44:33.570 Ansar Muhammad: I just think it needs to be built upon, and I do know the homeless Community need a place to store their belongings, so I think we can get it done, we just need to build on. 844 01:44:35.370 --> 01:44:35.970 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you. 845 01:44:39.720 --> 01:44:40.200 Vicki Halliday: Brian. 846 01:44:41.010 --> 01:44:41.430 God. 847 01:44:42.930 --> 01:44:58.800 Brian U: God God, I think he the intent and pat worked on this we had that conversation last week and I think the intent is absolutely a need that we need to do, God we were talking about important papers and that's where we discussed a safety deposit type. 848 01:44:59.940 --> 01:45:04.530 Brian U: unit, not necessarily the 60 gallon not necessarily lockers. 849 01:45:05.190 --> 01:45:06.810 Brian U: But something just for paperwork. 850 01:45:07.260 --> 01:45:11.160 Brian U: I think everybody needs to maybe think back I know a lot of people on this call. 851 01:45:12.180 --> 01:45:27.840 Brian U: In 2016 we spent months trying to figure out a storage plan and we created in the presentation decks and flyers and had a big meeting at the in person meeting at the neighborhood Council and we voted to do the mobile storage plan. 852 01:45:28.560 --> 01:45:40.050 Brian U: And I think what i'm trying to put it at the last moment here is to say it doesn't really matter what we we give we put that plan in in 2016 we never heard a peep from the city. 853 01:45:40.530 --> 01:45:46.320 Brian U: we're going to put this motion and and St Joseph is not going to pay for it, unless the city says we're going to pay for it so. 854 01:45:46.710 --> 01:45:59.610 Brian U: Do these motions actually go to someplace where we're going to get a response, so I think we can rewrite it to do safety deposit box only within our facilities and we talked about this within the facilities of St Joseph Center. 855 01:46:00.060 --> 01:46:02.850 Brian U: Because they have the list of who's on the coordinated entry system. 856 01:46:03.090 --> 01:46:04.830 Brian U: And then we said, the people to use that. 857 01:46:04.920 --> 01:46:16.920 Brian U: would be people that are registered the House that are on the coordinated entry system list, and if we can do that, I think it's also problem that that uh both pat and cody were trying to do, to begin with. 858 01:46:18.900 --> 01:46:20.310 Brian U: God yeah. 859 01:46:21.240 --> 01:46:21.780 Elizabeth. 860 01:46:25.890 --> 01:46:26.490 frank murphy: Elizabeth. 861 01:46:28.740 --> 01:46:33.210 Elizabeth Wright: Just as an example of how many people were talking about. 862 01:46:34.410 --> 01:46:44.760 Elizabeth Wright: i'm a homeowner have life insurance, I have a car, social security, all that kind of stuff and all my critical papers would fit into a decent sized file folder. 863 01:46:45.330 --> 01:46:45.600 Right. 864 01:46:46.650 --> 01:46:48.750 Elizabeth Wright: So it's really not a lot of. 865 01:46:50.040 --> 01:46:51.030 Melbourne person. 866 01:46:58.890 --> 01:46:59.430 Jody Mortimer: So. 867 01:47:01.740 --> 01:47:02.700 Jody Mortimer: yeah. 868 01:47:03.960 --> 01:47:04.380 Jody Mortimer: Thanks oh. 869 01:47:04.680 --> 01:47:10.830 frank murphy: Okay, hang on God like Colette responded Nemo and then you can sort of go back over everything. 870 01:47:15.270 --> 01:47:22.140 C Bailey: I think you guys already probably address was going to say in terms of the size it doesn't need to be that big. 871 01:47:23.220 --> 01:47:46.320 C Bailey: A small safe deposit box size and where obviously new facilities are in the facilities that are already being used and making sure that we're not impacting neighborhoods even further and they're already being impacted by homeless and making sure that the surroundings are kept safe. 872 01:47:48.750 --> 01:47:49.410 frank murphy: Thanks Colin. 873 01:47:50.700 --> 01:47:52.080 frank murphy: All right, God sorry about that. 874 01:47:52.860 --> 01:47:58.200 Jody Mortimer: So I think go with the stuff discuss this with Brian and Brian and. 875 01:48:00.120 --> 01:48:12.000 Jody Mortimer: I think that using the two the two already established, and you know if it has to be bridge housing there's something to be set up there, I had no idea, they didn't do walk up services so that's that's that could be. 876 01:48:12.690 --> 01:48:21.780 Jody Mortimer: could read you just started with St josephs or maybe that somebody mentioned another one well yeah just a 15 deposit box like of mailboxes and. 877 01:48:23.850 --> 01:48:27.600 Jody Mortimer: Like the see that the coordinated entry system that they have to. 878 01:48:28.830 --> 01:48:30.510 Jody Mortimer: make an end there, they can. 879 01:48:31.860 --> 01:48:44.220 Jody Mortimer: For example, i'm housed I have a great support system, I was robbed on the train last week and I still i'm having a hard time I went for a good look at. 880 01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:52.740 Jody Mortimer: an appointment for a job interview, and they won't even interview you without your identification, so it is very, very difficult. 881 01:48:53.610 --> 01:49:06.870 Jody Mortimer: own House need this this ability and what makes a great by having that one of the services that are already out there is they have trained professionals to that are there, the wraparound so when they go there, so. 882 01:49:07.830 --> 01:49:16.710 Jody Mortimer: To get this they can save this listen, you know you really should put these the the original driver's license or whatever. 883 01:49:17.340 --> 01:49:26.160 Jody Mortimer: Documents in these boxes and will give you copies because you're not going to need that other stuff out on the road, unless you've got to go do something where you need it did you come back for it it's. 884 01:49:26.640 --> 01:49:37.080 Jody Mortimer: it's one of the biggest things that happens to the homeless officers, they get robbed again they lose their stuff all the time, and of course with the mental health issue. 885 01:49:37.950 --> 01:49:46.920 Jody Mortimer: And we want them to pick up their stuff on the, off the streets are eventually going to have to have somewhere for them to store it because they're not leaving the sidewalks because they have no waste no place. 886 01:49:47.880 --> 01:49:54.630 Jody Mortimer: to store their stuff that all gets taken from them so well, it seems like a really easy thing to do, that these these these. 887 01:49:56.790 --> 01:50:02.490 Jody Mortimer: Big organizations that are out that are just bringing in the money that they actually do some of this. 888 01:50:03.810 --> 01:50:06.990 Jody Mortimer: Some simple work no brainer kind of stuff. 889 01:50:08.160 --> 01:50:11.580 Jody Mortimer: Then it would be the city that would require them to do that that's what we're saying. 890 01:50:14.250 --> 01:50:14.910 Jody Mortimer: that's that's always. 891 01:50:15.090 --> 01:50:15.870 100%. 892 01:50:18.900 --> 01:50:19.290 well. 893 01:50:24.750 --> 01:50:27.660 Brian U: As any Has anybody has anybody talked to St joseph's Center. 894 01:50:30.480 --> 01:50:31.170 Brian U: about this. 895 01:50:32.550 --> 01:50:34.500 Jody Mortimer: I would, if I, if I have permission to do. 896 01:50:35.160 --> 01:50:37.410 Brian U: We always have permission, you can walk right in and asking. 897 01:50:37.470 --> 01:50:38.970 Brian U: I mean frank frank. 898 01:50:39.030 --> 01:50:43.980 Brian U: don't don't they have mailboxes for everybody that's registered. 899 01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:50.730 Brian U: homeless, they they receive mail they receive things at St joseph's Center the post office box or whatever. 900 01:50:51.510 --> 01:50:52.740 Brian U: expand that. 901 01:50:52.770 --> 01:50:54.060 Brian U: Just expand that Program. 902 01:50:55.470 --> 01:50:57.270 frank murphy: That says, I understand it, yes. 903 01:50:57.330 --> 01:51:14.880 Brian U: yeah, so why don't we just meet with the person that does the mail or the services at St joseph's Center and then and then go backwards and come back next month and say hey we researched this St Joseph Center has the room and space to add on to their already existing mail delivers. 904 01:51:17.970 --> 01:51:18.900 frank murphy: yeah. 905 01:51:18.930 --> 01:51:22.620 Jody Mortimer: You can also go over and talk to Rachel see. 906 01:51:25.440 --> 01:51:26.670 frank murphy: pad you got your hand up. 907 01:51:28.860 --> 01:51:31.200 Pat Raphael: So i'm just thinking that. 908 01:51:32.400 --> 01:51:33.000 Pat Raphael: should be. 909 01:51:36.510 --> 01:51:41.940 Pat Raphael: Right and not having the specifics, are now in the motion. 910 01:51:42.420 --> 01:51:43.950 Pat Raphael: And then letting the city. 911 01:51:44.040 --> 01:51:59.910 Pat Raphael: As the executive branch kind of work out how they're going to do it, so we can have something like where where we think it should be laid out and who should be managing it and then just as broad as possible, because I think we're getting stuck in the details when. 912 01:52:00.120 --> 01:52:11.880 Pat Raphael: The tip I think we should be communicating is, if we want people to not have their stuff on the sidewalk right it's good to give them a place to put their stuff now it seems to be. 913 01:52:13.050 --> 01:52:15.000 Pat Raphael: The conversation is migrating towards. 914 01:52:16.230 --> 01:52:28.920 Pat Raphael: A tiny post office box type of situation or something just for documents but i'm saying if we give the intent to the city and then let the city find out how they can. 915 01:52:30.570 --> 01:52:34.500 Pat Raphael: do this in pit that we communicate to them here in Venice. 916 01:52:34.860 --> 01:52:42.810 Pat Raphael: And I agree that places that already have lots of land available, like the bridge house, even if we're not doing it. 917 01:52:43.230 --> 01:52:56.010 Pat Raphael: in coordination with path in the bridge house, the real estates already there, this is something that's going to take room right let's just lay out the intention and then let them write out the details, with what they have. 918 01:52:57.390 --> 01:52:57.900 frank murphy: alright. 919 01:52:59.550 --> 01:53:00.240 frank murphy: So. 920 01:53:03.450 --> 01:53:19.980 frank murphy: Let me propose something here real quick, what about if we, I agree with you, Pat that we shouldn't that we might not want to be that specific so that it allows for flexibility, on the other, on the other parties. 921 01:53:21.750 --> 01:53:24.180 frank murphy: are having to solve this so. 922 01:53:26.670 --> 01:53:44.580 frank murphy: I think everything reads really well until we get down to the 60 gallon been I think just taking up the 60 gallon bin and losing the parentheses around St joseph's and bridge housing, they can work out how they can do that. 923 01:53:45.810 --> 01:53:58.200 frank murphy: St Joseph we can still approach them, we can still approach St joseph's and say hey listen we pass this thing can we, you know, can we use a portion of your. 924 01:53:58.830 --> 01:54:09.990 frank murphy: You know how can we accommodate this and the same thing with the bridge housing, as we can approach path or whomever is managing bridge housing and say how can this be accommodated. 925 01:54:11.370 --> 01:54:22.230 frank murphy: You know we're asking him requesting it of you, how can we accommodate but anyhow that would just be one cut at it, or we can come back at it next month and. 926 01:54:23.280 --> 01:54:29.820 frank murphy: And and refine it and come back next month, so just That was where my thoughts were. 927 01:54:30.960 --> 01:54:31.230 Elizabeth Wright: I would. 928 01:54:31.470 --> 01:54:32.700 Elizabeth Wright: recommend next month. 929 01:54:35.970 --> 01:54:40.320 frank murphy: What what let's ask God, where he might want to go with that. 930 01:54:42.090 --> 01:54:57.450 Jody Mortimer: Ah yeah Of course I mean I I we can come back to imagine what was mentioned about just taking those little pieces out and just use it as the safety deposit boxes or small lockers. 931 01:54:58.710 --> 01:55:02.130 Jody Mortimer: Even just to throw safety deposit mailboxes. 932 01:55:03.300 --> 01:55:04.740 Jody Mortimer: We can start pushing it forward. 933 01:55:06.330 --> 01:55:08.610 Vicki Halliday: Okay, then, if that one. 934 01:55:11.040 --> 01:55:11.460 Jody Mortimer: yeah. 935 01:55:12.060 --> 01:55:16.140 Vicki Halliday: Okay there's two areas out that frank talked about yeah. 936 01:55:20.160 --> 01:55:21.090 Vicki Halliday: But I need a second. 937 01:55:21.840 --> 01:55:22.500 Brian U: i'll second that. 938 01:55:22.980 --> 01:55:23.250 Okay. 939 01:55:24.810 --> 01:55:26.160 Vicki Halliday: Liz is that doable. 940 01:55:30.360 --> 01:55:31.440 Elizabeth Wright: yeah yeah. 941 01:55:32.340 --> 01:55:35.070 Vicki Halliday: I guess, we have to take what public comment on the amendment. 942 01:55:35.550 --> 01:55:37.050 Brian U: Yes, yes. 943 01:55:37.590 --> 01:55:40.740 frank murphy: I did that includes a 60 been 60 gallon when. 944 01:55:41.070 --> 01:55:41.970 Brian U: you're taking it out. 945 01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:51.000 Jody Mortimer: Everything out, except for the safety deposit box, so you can deposit and that temporary locker mobile do something. 946 01:55:52.800 --> 01:55:57.180 frank murphy: Well, I was thinking that the St joseph's and bridge housing use you. 947 01:55:57.180 --> 01:56:02.790 frank murphy: could say in the Venice Community at St joseph's and bridge housing period. 948 01:56:03.300 --> 01:56:03.840 frank murphy: I mean. 949 01:56:05.160 --> 01:56:06.690 Vicki Halliday: I wouldn't I mean. 950 01:56:06.900 --> 01:56:07.290 Okay. 951 01:56:09.270 -->

context, out of there. 971 01:57:25.020 --> 01:57:27.270 Pat Raphael: With the broad principle we don't need to spend. 972 01:57:27.750 --> 01:57:28.890 Elizabeth Wright: On profits. 973 01:57:29.100

hey St Joseph. 983 01:58:18.150 --> 01:58:33.870 Lisa Redmond: How about you doing this that's fine, but if anybody goes there representing themselves as a Venice neighborhood Council homelessness Committee, you cannot represent the committee and do that kind of work and negotiating so i'm just putting that out there, that is wrong and. 984 01:58:34.980 --> 01:58:37.680 Lisa Redmond:

01:59:33.780 Brian U: army. 993 01:59:34.260 --> 01:59:36.120 Jody Mortimer: General delivery at the post office. 994 01:59:38.280 --> 01:59:40.200 Brian U: So they appeal box offices or. 995 01:59:40.350 --> 01:59:48.120 Jody Mortimer: niche with somebody does not does not have an address they they would send it general delivery to the Venice post office. 996 01:59:48.510 --> 02:00:00.810 Jody Mortimer: With their name on it, and then they would go to the post office and say asked her name and then they would go back and check in their pile of general delivery is addressed at general delivery to that person Dennis post office. 997 02:00:02.160 --> 02:00:03.810 Brian U: area and do we know this and do we know. 998 02:00:03.810 --> 02:00:05.400 Brian U: The St Joseph doesn't provide that. 999 02:00:06.000 --> 02:00:11.490 Jody Mortimer: It probably does provide that's why they're saying that's probably what they provide when they say they give everybody. 1000 02:00:12.570 --> 02:00:15.030 Jody Mortimer: Their own mailbox it's just general delivery. 1001 02:00:16.650 --> 02:00:19.230 Brian U: And that's where we want to store stuff that's where it should be. 1002

02:00:54.780 --> 02:01:09.960 C Bailey: There already over impacted by this whole issue so until we solve those issues it's not fair to ask them to add yet another layer on top of what the Community is dealing with so. 1012 02:01:10.530 --> 02:01:18.420 C Bailey: I think it should be whether it's St josephs or what about fitness Community housing has that big white building on rose. 1013

Venice town council versus city of Los Angeles, that was settled in 2000 and security shows that the city has been completely non compliant. 1054 02:04:49.950 --> 02:04:58.230 Margaret Molloy: With the settlement meant agreement, so I think it's incumbent on all of you, as the homeless community to do that research frank, you have yours. 1055 02:04:58.650 --> 02:05:04.620 Margaret Molloy: On the land use and planning committee, to my knowledge, and as a developer, you know some inside. 1056 02:05:05.100 --> 02:05:12.750 Margaret Molloy: You know, those are really important statistics, because all this arguing about like how many affordable units are being built in Venice and over. 1057 02:05:13.020 --> 02:05:28.980 Margaret Molloy: it's more than our fair share look at some history people and present those numbers, just like look at the pandemic and its impact on all kinds of public services, when you complain about skills enforcement around the bridge housing. 1058 02:05:29.130 --> 02:05:30.180 frank murphy: that's on the minute that's. 1059 02:05:30.720 --> 02:05:32.610 Margaret Molloy: balances everything, please. 1060 02:05:32.700 --> 02:05:34.470 Margaret Molloy: Please look at those numbers, thank you. 1061 02:05:34.740 --> 02:05:35.460 frank murphy: Thank you, mark. 1062 02:05:36.120 --> 02:05:40.170 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Margaret i'm next at least redmond go ahead. 1063 02:05:42.270 --> 02:05:47.310 Lisa Redmond: i'm procedurally these are two separate agenda items. 1064 02:05:47.490 --> 02:05:52.200 Lisa Redmond: So everybody should get at least one minute speak on each item and they shouldn't be combined. 1065 02:05:52.620 --> 02:06:10.530 Lisa Redmond: Because one is related to what happened in the meeting and the other is related to know what's on the meeting agenda, so it makes no sense to combine those second procedurally we're not getting Italia votes at the end, I have no idea how you record it pat's boat on the first motion. 1066 02:06:11.880 --> 02:06:16.170 Lisa Redmond: That would be helpful to know and then, when it comes to my comment on the Roundtable. 1067 02:06:16.830 --> 02:06:34.710 Lisa Redmond: I thought it was running very well for the most part, other than God got three to four questions and Brian got a two minute question but scan please stick with the topic that was totally inappropriate for you to bring it into your own personal matter and to be self pro self. 1068 02:06:35.850 --> 02:06:42.000 Lisa Redmond: Promoting a once again to your work and not with the homelessness issue which was the. 1069 02:06:44.970 --> 02:06:45.390 frank murphy: Thank you. 1070 02:06:46.050 --> 02:06:48.210 Vicki Halliday: i'm Michael Please go ahead. 1071 02:06:49.620 --> 02:06:51.570 Lionel Mares: Okay, is this good or public comment now. 1072 02:06:52.770 --> 02:06:53.220 Vicki Halliday: Yes. 1073 02:06:53.430 --> 02:07:03.960 Lionel Mares: Okay, thank you for my general public comment I I listened to what miss Tracy part said, and I understand the homelessness has become a very. 1074 02:07:04.500 --> 02:07:17.340 Lionel Mares: Sensitive controversial debate and i've been participating in this for long for a couple of years now i'm watching activists and here in neighborhood Councils hearing people and, like I said before, I don't think that. 1075 02:07:19.020 --> 02:07:32.100 Lionel Mares: i'm criminalizing or making it difficult for announced people to seek long term solution, says the best approach we have to find long term solutions i'm every neighborhood Council Advisory Council district must help. 1076 02:07:33.120 --> 02:07:47.010 Lionel Mares: All of us from the valley or San Pedro airy Council district must participate and helping resolve this issue, we shouldn't ship ship, the burden on to other Council districts, I have. 1077 02:07:47.430 --> 02:07:54.000 Lionel Mares: On house neighbors myself in my district number six and networking is not doing a great job no one's perfect and. 1078 02:07:55.140 --> 02:07:55.830 We all have. 1079 02:07:57.240 --> 02:07:57.930 Lionel Mares: Thank you. 1080 02:08:00.450 --> 02:08:04.710 Vicki Halliday: we'll go back to Erica Erica did you want to talk. 1081 02:08:05.670 --> 02:08:08.160 Erica Moore: Every go my phone work. 1082 02:08:09.240 --> 02:08:16.230 Erica Moore: Okay, probably operator here anyways I just want to thank you very much vicki I know that you probably worked very hard to. 1083 02:08:16.740 --> 02:08:26.790 Erica Moore: Create that opportunity for us to listen to one of the candidates tonight, and I really for one really appreciated that one thing that it showed me is that it sounds like Tracy is very. 1084 02:08:28.470 --> 02:08:35.850 Erica Moore: she's really spent a lot of time educating herself about the homeless issue, because it is very layered, this is not something that's just a one size fits all and. 1085 02:08:37.110 --> 02:08:41.580 Erica Moore: I don't know if she has all the answers or not, but I just think that that was really helpful for us to be able to hear. 1086 02:08:42.330 --> 02:08:52.920 Erica Moore: Some of her thoughts and ideas, and I think I would have appreciated having the opportunity to actually ask for direct questions and i'm not sure why I mean I can understand, maybe why you guys formatted it the way you did. 1087 02:08:53.400 --> 02:08:58.800 Erica Moore: But i'm just throwing that out there that, for me, I would have I would have preferred to speak voice voice to ask a question. 1088 02:08:59.610 --> 02:09:09.780 Erica Moore: And then just In closing, I just wanted to remind everybody to actually listen to what people say because sometimes when I hear people making comments and I probably do this, too. 1089 02:09:10.230 --> 02:09:17.160 Erica Moore: Is they make comments that it's not addressing what people are saying it's saying something completely different it's kind of weird I don't know anyways. 1090 02:09:17.490 --> 02:09:18.240 frank murphy: Have a great night. 1091 02:09:18.300 --> 02:09:19.650 Erica Moore: So much for your service, the buy. 1092 02:09:19.830 --> 02:09:20.400 furniture. 1093 02:09:24.630 --> 02:09:25.170 frank murphy: Okay. 1094 02:09:28.020 --> 02:09:38.460 frank murphy: That is the committee comments now on non agenda item does anybody in the i'm sorry does that wrap that up becky. 1095 02:09:38.730 --> 02:09:39.030 Vicki Halliday: yeah. 1096 02:09:39.150 --> 02:09:41.820 frank murphy: I wasn't checking the list okay. 1097 02:09:42.270 --> 02:09:44.910 Vicki Halliday: um that wraps it up i'd like to say one thing. 1098 02:09:45.570 --> 02:09:49.890 Vicki Halliday: Okay, in 2016. 1099 02:09:51.090 --> 02:09:56.340 Vicki Halliday: There is a Community benefits agreement, written by then homelessness committee. 1100 02:09:57.480 --> 02:10:00.300 Vicki Halliday: It was submitted to the dnc it was passed. 1101 02:10:00.390 --> 02:10:03.030 Vicki Halliday: It was sent under the city regarding branch housing. 1102 02:10:03.810 --> 02:10:17.190 Vicki Halliday: I don't know why nobody brings up the fact that we have CBS in some cases, why do we want to write new ones, when we can go back and refer to the ones that were submitted years ago. 1103 02:10:18.810 --> 02:10:21.240 Vicki Halliday: On the same topic then that's all. 1104 02:10:24.750 --> 02:10:29.400 Brian U: totally agree, but we have no leverage to make them respond what we've. 1105 02:10:29.430 --> 02:10:30.090 Brian U: been doing. 1106 02:10:30.930 --> 02:10:31.800 Vicki Halliday: what's the new one. 1107 02:10:32.580 --> 02:10:42.690 Brian U: Exactly unless the city is going to come and respond that's why, if Tracy when she said she would Aaron wins we haven't heard, but we put these motions out and they fall into the dark hole. 1108 02:10:42.960 --> 02:10:51.210 Vicki Halliday: Well, I know, but why don't we pull out to see BA from 2016 and say hey you didn't meet one of these now one. 1109 02:10:53.070 --> 02:10:54.210 Brian U: Exactly what we should do. 1110 02:10:54.540 --> 02:10:56.610 frank murphy: Okay yeah I agree. 1111 02:10:56.940 --> 02:11:01.500 Brian U: Okay, and and and the other hundred motions this committee put forth. 1112 02:11:02.580 --> 02:11:05.310 frank murphy: that's never been responded yeah. 1113 02:11:06.120 --> 02:11:22.530 Jody Mortimer: was a person that they go away that, as a follow up person so when these emotions do get approved by the dnc you know is that may be a collaborative duty of something of one of the members of the board with their specific job would be to follow up. 1114 02:11:23.160 --> 02:11:26.130 Vicki Halliday: would be the committee six months yep all. 1115 02:11:27.630 --> 02:11:29.700 Vicki Halliday: Of the committee of action. 1116 02:11:30.990 --> 02:11:34.860 frank murphy: let's let's be clear we're an advisory committee. 1117 02:11:35.850 --> 02:11:37.680 frank murphy: Well, volunteers. 1118 02:11:39.210 --> 02:11:42.750 frank murphy: We have to do the babysitting to once it leaves our committee. 1119 02:11:44.730 --> 02:11:46.620 frank murphy: I mean Come on, you know this. 1120 02:11:47.640 --> 02:11:48.060 Jody Mortimer: should be. 1121 02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:51.750 Brian U: I thought it was the president of the dnc the rights. 1122 02:11:52.230 --> 02:11:53.550 Brian U: Rights letter and said. 1123 02:11:53.730 --> 02:11:59.130 frank murphy: yeah he does yeah and so he should at least have evidence of him having written it and sent it. 1124 02:12:01.080 --> 02:12:21.540 frank murphy: But we certainly shouldn't have to be following up with the city now i'm not i'm not i'm not against what you're saying, Brian and vicki i'm 100% with you it's just that you know, to ask for the these all these neighborhood Councils to have follow up people down at City Hall, to make. 1125 02:12:21.570 --> 02:12:25.650 frank murphy: sure they respond to the question she says this crazy. 1126 02:12:27.870 --> 02:12:30.900 Brian U: Every every neighborhood Council and CD 11 disparate. 1127 02:12:30.900 --> 02:12:37.410 Brian U: Systems i've been the parliamentarian is there a person that's supposed to do this either, I know he was listening before. 1128 02:12:38.250 --> 02:12:40.620 Vicki Halliday: Was did you have something you would have to say. 1129 02:12:40.920 --> 02:12:51.390 Elizabeth Wright: Yes, not announced the challenge for the voting item one was 7001 item to win 710. 1130 02:12:52.260 --> 02:12:53.850 frank murphy: Thank you okay. 1131 02:12:58.530 --> 02:12:58.770 Jody Mortimer: This. 1132 02:12:58.830 --> 02:13:10.860 Jody Mortimer: Is a common sense that, like neighborhood Council send something through the city and they'll hear nothing six months down the road to hey what's going on, but this is. 1133 02:13:12.120 --> 02:13:29.430 Jody Mortimer: Just a phone call or whatever, I mean I know the product probably get a lot of this stuff at the City Council level, but It just seems like in any business, you would want to know what's happened after you after you send it up the chain, I mean just for people in the neighborhood. 1134 02:13:31.980 --> 02:13:34.320 Vicki Halliday: Nobody can get Mike to answer his final. 1135 02:13:34.380 --> 02:13:37.950 Vicki Halliday: answer that would be like moving a mountain. 1136 02:13:38.910 --> 02:13:43.290 Elizabeth Wright: Generally follow up is up to the President, who wrote the letter. 1137 02:13:47.760 --> 02:13:51.090 Jody Mortimer: The letter from the from the committee kitty from the Council. 1138 02:13:51.840 --> 02:13:52.230 Jody Mortimer: alright. 1139 02:13:53.130 --> 02:13:55.050 Brian U: Well we'll just the pressure. 1140 02:13:55.920 --> 02:13:56.460 frank murphy: All
