Not on the agenda 180 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.660 Sima Kostovetsky: tonight. 181 00:24:59.690 --> 00:25:01.640 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay? Great. Thank you. 182 00:25:01.770 --> 00:25:14.260 Sima Kostovetsky: Uh: moving on chair report. I sent you the Bmc banner. I hope you guys saw it very exciting. I am looking for a place. It's it's big. 183 00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:25.849 Sima Kostovetsky: So um! And i'm looking for a home for it. I'm hoping to. I've been in touch with Ah, the principal of Westminster. I'm. Hoping to hang it up there, and hopefully it'll be in time 184 00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:43.049 Sima Kostovetsky: or if and when we start our in-person meetings, so That's i'm actually kind of happy that we have it done. And on the whole thing the scan works, because I remember when I was taking photos of it to show it to you guys, it kept clicking to the actual website, which is cool, and you can actually try it from your computer as well. 185 00:25:43.060 --> 00:25:43.950 Yes, 186 00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:45.410 Sima Kostovetsky: so um! 187 00:25:45.430 --> 00:25:53.959 Sima Kostovetsky: That's number one Number two National Coastal Cleanup Day. I think that our participants yesterday at the Board meeting, 188 00:25:54.090 --> 00:26:01.560 Sima Kostovetsky: it felt it was one of those moments I have to say, or one of those days at least for me, and I know how much I appreciate 189 00:26:01.810 --> 00:26:03.670 Sima Kostovetsky: trying to stop 190 00:26:03.890 --> 00:26:17.770 Sima Kostovetsky: horrible things into going into the ocean. Um, but it was one of those days like It may be very proud to be of a nation, and I brought my son, and you know we saw our neighbors and I picked up a lot of really bad stuff. I personally 191 00:26:17.780 --> 00:26:29.789 Sima Kostovetsky: picked up a needle and heal. The bay was very good and gracious about getting rid of that, and the syringe was still inside. We're fortunate, I mean we. We found some pretty ugly things, and so 192 00:26:29.820 --> 00:26:33.430 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, but it was a great way for the community to come together. So, 193 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.300 Sima Kostovetsky: hopefully. Um, 194 00:26:35.610 --> 00:26:40.020 Sima Kostovetsky: we can do more of that throughout the year. And I Actually, 195 00:26:40.030 --> 00:27:02.960 Sima Kostovetsky: you guys have been talking with us for a year. They started started talking about heel today because one of the things that we kept finding I mean. I'm talking about overwhelmingly. We're cigarette butts stick around buts and bottle caps were everywhere. So if there was a way to make people aware you know how bad and horrible cigarette butts are. I think that 196 00:27:02.970 --> 00:27:20.349 Sima Kostovetsky: to start thinking, I want to try to start doing more creative things. I know we have such a business oriented community right now, especially with the elections, but like that is something that could be great to to to work on. So. And I know Christopher with his clean up organization. 197 00:27:20.360 --> 00:27:23.030 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, but probably like to help. So 198 00:27:23.320 --> 00:27:26.849 Sima Kostovetsky: anybody have anything to add, i'm happy to see some time. 199 00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:43.670 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Thank you. Um. Moving on item for discussion and possible action since the annual Halloween party at the pier for Sunday, October thirtieth uh partners time and participants. 200 00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:44.990 Sima Kostovetsky: So 201 00:27:45.320 --> 00:27:46.510 Sima Kostovetsky: um 202 00:27:50.280 --> 00:28:07.159 Sima Kostovetsky: i'm going to speak, and then i'm going to allow a couple of comments, and then i'm going to come back to the board. So some things have changed since I put this on the agenda. I don't think the Halloween party on the pier this year is feasible, but it's just too dark. 203 00:28:07.190 --> 00:28:10.850 Sima Kostovetsky: It's just dark, And 204 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:25.670 Sima Kostovetsky: yeah, it's, It's going to be an issue. And I think that we should come back to this another year when it is safe and when it is not so dark and 205 00:28:25.930 --> 00:28:28.030 Sima Kostovetsky: and we can be safe. 206 00:28:28.370 --> 00:28:35.300 Sima Kostovetsky: That's basically where I'm at. With that. I'd like to open it up to public comment. If there's anything. 207 00:28:36.230 --> 00:28:43.199 Vicki Halliday: What? What is going on with that? Why are they not lighting the hearing? I It's kind of, 208 00:28:43.210 --> 00:28:47.530 Vicki Halliday: and they've got to go in under the pier. It's a big engineering job, 209 00:28:47.610 --> 00:28:51.320 Vicki Halliday: because the wiring is. It's wired under the pair, 210 00:28:51.370 --> 00:28:56.290 Vicki Halliday: and it's more than just restringing some wire. 211 00:28:57.460 --> 00:29:00.489 Vicki Halliday: And so it's It's a couple of months out, I believe. 212 00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:18.339 Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah. So that was one of the things that we were trying to figure out. Is it going to get fixed in time? And could we bring in some other partners that could make it safe or workable? And it just became, you know, I mean It's just not feasible, realistically. So. Um, unfortunately that's where we're at. 213 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:25.520 Sima Kostovetsky: So I wanted to put that out there. Um! Do I have any comments from the public? 214 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.100 Sima Kostovetsky: Cj. Has her hand raised hold on one sex. Cj: 215 00:29:31.770 --> 00:29:33.160 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, go ahead. 216 00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:36.180 But in one 217 00:29:36.270 --> 00:29:39.650 CJ Cole: I thought last night they talked about moving it 218 00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:48.259 CJ Cole: so that it was still going to happen, but they moved it to somewhere else, and it was before you showed up. Sima. 219 00:29:49.280 --> 00:29:54.440 Sima Kostovetsky: I am not aware of that, considering Where would they move it? 220 00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:57.180 CJ Cole: I don't um 221 00:29:57.380 --> 00:30:10.459 Vicki Halliday: vicki. Are you aware of anything like that? Well, I mean there's some other events currently planned for areas of when we're plaza, But it's it's not our event like we did last year 222 00:30:12.620 --> 00:30:21.189 Vicki Halliday: into my knowledge. No other, you know. Backup location has been mentioned. 223 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:41.539 Vicki Halliday: Um, again. If I was Halloween here, though I mean that that was the brand, and that was also, and the whole idea behind it. And honestly, last year it made so much sense, because there was already a built in following because of the movies of the pier, and we had the support of businesses, and we had the support of Brexit parks. It was just a much more alive 224 00:30:41.710 --> 00:30:59.330 Vicki Halliday: sort of area, and I feel like this year because we don't have participation. We don't have movies, um, you know at the pier. We can't. We created it, Sima. I think the lighting puts the convos on it for security reasons right, but I can't 225 00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:00.790 Vicki Halliday: kind of going to greater bed again, 226 00:31:00.800 --> 00:31:17.080 Vicki Halliday: and and Cj: listen if there's other things going on like if there's an lapd event, or if there's you know, in our event like Bruno did last year. We will, you know, we will publicize that. It's just that we personally cannot take responsibility. 227 00:31:18.830 --> 00:31:22.160 CJ Cole: So thank you. Um. Any other board Comment: 228 00:31:22.670 --> 00:31:32.889 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Yeah, I think that if we wanted to do it at the pier and want to do it period that it would just have to be during the day during daylight, you know, and you know, 229 00:31:32.900 --> 00:31:34.990 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: jazz it up as much as we 230 00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:38.960 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: could, but that would be the only way to do it safely 231 00:31:38.970 --> 00:31:58.189 Sima Kostovetsky: well, and the other part of it is that you have to realize this is Halloween weekend, I mean Lapd is slammed, slammed, and we lost our summer relief, you know, because we always get extra officers for the summer, and they just let That was, in fact, actually part of the record last night. So 232 00:31:58.310 --> 00:32:02.140 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, I mean, I think sometimes as much as we want to do things. 233 00:32:02.710 --> 00:32:04.010 Sima Kostovetsky: You know, 234 00:32:04.470 --> 00:32:08.090 Vicki Halliday: we have to be who we are. Let's move on. 235 00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:11.599 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Thank you. Moving on Number Seven. 236 00:32:12.750 --> 00:32:14.090 Sima Kostovetsky: Um. 237 00:32:14.150 --> 00:32:19.109 Sima Kostovetsky: Vmc: elections my favorite. 238 00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:25.410 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay. So the dates are still the the 239 00:32:27.070 --> 00:32:31.750 Sima Kostovetsky: you guys, i'm going to share something real quick. Let me just move down my 240 00:32:32.010 --> 00:32:34.430 Sima Kostovetsky: the share of the uh 241 00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:37.039 Sima Kostovetsky: of my agenda. 242 00:32:37.790 --> 00:32:53.550 Sima Kostovetsky: Um! But I wanted to show you that I updated. Are you able to see the excel spreadsheet or the I'm. Sorry, the Google Doc, where we're able to update things that sort of we're carrying over, and things that we're working on it. Don't want to share it in a public forum, because 243 00:32:53.560 --> 00:33:03.759 Sima Kostovetsky: it's a working document, but I just want to tell you that I've been updating it. So if you guys want to look, I'm happy to send you the link again. But these are some of the updates that 244 00:33:04.020 --> 00:33:12.320 Vicki Halliday: been updating, so just wanted to draw your attention to that. Why are you promoting? 245 00:33:12.630 --> 00:33:15.859 Sima Kostovetsky: He's? I'm sorry I didn't see him. Thank you. 246 00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:24.880 Sima Kostovetsky: Hi, welcome. I'm putting you in 247 00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:29.480 Sima Kostovetsky: at seven. Fifteen. Thank you. 248 00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:38.129 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Christopher, We are on Item Number seven. We're discussing the Bmc elections. 249 00:33:38.560 --> 00:34:07.540 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, the timeline. Still hasn't changed, and I went on the city website to check if they had any more updates for us. Um in terms of the elections, and they don't yet, so we still have end of November as kind of our start of filing date and march uh the last Sunday in March as our voting day. Um, obviously as things as the city and done roll out more, 250 00:34:07.810 --> 00:34:25.070 Sima Kostovetsky: but I wanted to open up the discussion. Ah! For our team in terms of what we want our our role to be in outreach. Um! I certainly have my position. I'm happy to talk first and open a public comment, and then have committee comments. 251 00:34:25.469 --> 00:34:29.560 Sima Kostovetsky: But, um! I was very upfront with the city. 252 00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:43.510 Sima Kostovetsky: We currently do not have an elections administrator or an Elections Committee in years past I've done. Obviously. I ran my first election, and then I ran last year to get re-elected. So I did one 253 00:34:43.520 --> 00:35:01.520 Sima Kostovetsky: election as outreach chair. So i've done one as a participant, and then also as the organizer and um we've always had uh an independent, so to speak, uh Elections Committee, which at this point we don't have, or still don't have. I don't know if we will get one. 254 00:35:01.530 --> 00:35:08.050 Sima Kostovetsky: I let done know that for purposes 255 00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:16.799 Sima Kostovetsky: It's Austin. It was always 256 00:35:18.990 --> 00:35:20.430 Is this better? 257 00:35:20.520 --> 00:35:21.690 Angela McGregor: Now you're good. 258 00:35:21.700 --> 00:35:23.290 Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah, okay. 259 00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:25.040 Angela McGregor: You like. 260 00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:28.350 Sima Kostovetsky: Is it, saying, Internet unstable. 261 00:35:28.560 --> 00:35:29.930 Sima Kostovetsky: Is that better? 262 00:35:30.260 --> 00:35:31.290 Nick Antonicello: Yeah, 263 00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:35.069 Christopher Lee: you're back. Okay, you. When you were saying you let done know what? 264 00:35:35.080 --> 00:36:00.080 Sima Kostovetsky: No, I I let unknown from from the beginning that I didn't want elections to be outreach's job. It's a huge job. It's always been separate, and that's why we have such a big budget. And it also buffers us from any mistakes which is huge. And again, I think i'm happy as the Bmc. To roll out some things that uh the city wants us to allow a dates, 265 00:36:00.090 --> 00:36:06.049 Sima Kostovetsky: and obviously our election. But it's It's a very, very 266 00:36:06.090 --> 00:36:10.109 Sima Kostovetsky: task, and it should have. In my opinion, 267 00:36:10.450 --> 00:36:13.779 Sima Kostovetsky: elections were going to happen in November. Then 268 00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.850 Sima Kostovetsky: there should have been a committee working on it for a month now, 269 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.899 Sima Kostovetsky: so that's my position. 270 00:36:21.720 --> 00:36:27.129 Sima Kostovetsky: I'd like to open it up to any public comment if we have any. 271 00:36:31.140 --> 00:36:32.920 Helen, Hold on, 272 00:36:37.660 --> 00:36:38.870 Sima Kostovetsky: Helen, 273 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:44.769 Helen Fallon: all right. You muted me, and then I I am you to myself. Okay, 274 00:36:44.780 --> 00:36:46.490 Helen Fallon: hey? I'm on right. Yeah. Yup. 275 00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:47.520 Helen Fallon: Um. 276 00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:48.959 Helen Fallon: Since 277 00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:52.650 Helen Fallon: it really sort of defaults to outrage to do the election, 278 00:36:52.660 --> 00:37:00.280 Helen Fallon: you might want to take a look at what Marvista is doing. They are all the dates are out. The city has published 279 00:37:00.540 --> 00:37:13.090 Helen Fallon: the guidelines for the election, and dates, and I don't know why you didn't find that on their website. But it's also on the Marvista website. If you go to their elections bylaws community, 280 00:37:13.100 --> 00:37:23.889 Helen Fallon: and they're even doing a postcard that they're reviewing this tonight actually at their board meeting. That gives the community how to sign up as a 281 00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:28.860 Helen Fallon: candidate, and then the flip side of it is the dates because it's a hybrid election 282 00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:38.699 Helen Fallon: you can apply for a ballot, or you can vote in person. Which and I hope we've designated where we're going to be voting in person, because that was supposed to be done, I think, 283 00:37:38.850 --> 00:37:40.209 Helen Fallon: in August, 284 00:37:42.230 --> 00:37:50.990 Helen Fallon: Anyway, that might be a way for you to be able to. But, as you said. They have an independent committee, 285 00:37:51.000 --> 00:38:04.440 Helen Fallon: you know they don't have an independent committee. It's being done by their outreach chair and by their bylaws committee. It's just the volunteers doing it. There's no they never won their election. So we have. 286 00:38:05.330 --> 00:38:08.479 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, all right. Thank you for the suggestion. 287 00:38:18.850 --> 00:38:21.410 Sima Kostovetsky: He just spoke, and that was over in it. 288 00:38:21.550 --> 00:38:23.589 Do you want to speak again? Hold on! 289 00:38:25.870 --> 00:38:36.189 Helen Fallon: I thought i'd lower my hand. No, i'm not asking this. I just encourage you to go out and see what other people are doing and get some help. 290 00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:38.860 Helen Fallon: Thank you. 291 00:38:39.170 --> 00:38:40.490 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you. 292 00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:44.740 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, 293 00:38:49.030 --> 00:38:52.240 Opening it up to committee discussion, 294 00:38:55.870 --> 00:38:57.550 he wins to talk. 295 00:38:57.670 --> 00:39:01.680 Angela McGregor: I'm concerned about the lack of a 296 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:14.010 Vicki Halliday: an elections committee. How is that? What's up on that front? Because it's because done completely restructured, how the elections take place, 297 00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:19.990 Vicki Halliday: and you know they don't even mean. You know how Ivan was always 298 00:39:20.110 --> 00:39:27.269 Vicki Halliday: the elections chair, and he got to hire an assistant right? That apparently is no longer necessary. 299 00:39:27.710 --> 00:39:41.070 Vicki Halliday: They have simplified the process Enough that it's mostly just what they. The only thing the Nc. Has to do much of now is outreach to get people to run and outreach to get people to vote. 300 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:48.399 Vicki Halliday: Now what they're going to do about people working at the polling stations and stuff. 301 00:39:48.430 --> 00:39:52.140 Vicki Halliday: Apparently that's being decided downtown. 302 00:39:54.880 --> 00:40:06.670 Angela McGregor: So what about what Helen mentioned? Could we do a similar postcard? That sounds like an outreach related thing? 303 00:40:06.680 --> 00:40:33.329 Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah, we've never We haven't been in charge of postcards before i'm happy to look into it. I just I I just book. I mean, if people want to volunteer and help with elections, I think they should. I just don't think that it should go through outreach. We can be the final word, but given having gone through it, and knowing how and again i'm very happy to look happy to talk to the outreach chair, 304 00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:42.590 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, Marvista, i'm happy to reach out to them, and you know, learn lessons. I'm happy. I'm happy to learn of what the city is, you know, rolling out, so 305 00:40:42.650 --> 00:40:44.189 Sima Kostovetsky: i'm open. It's kind of awesome. 306 00:40:44.200 --> 00:40:48.309 Angela McGregor: What Vicky's describing is is sounds like 307 00:40:48.320 --> 00:41:05.819 Sima Kostovetsky: all you've got to do, really, as they're saying, it's minimal that it's basically outreach, that's all that's really cool. Look, And the reality is that we we We did it all last year, like some of the content, was provided for us, you know, by the city, and some of the content that provided us by Ivan's committee. 308 00:41:05.830 --> 00:41:13.249 Sima Kostovetsky: So I just want to be realistic. That's all. I don't want to set ourselves up for failure, because I know what's involved, and I know how much money went into it. 309 00:41:13.460 --> 00:41:23.329 Sima Kostovetsky: And yeah, maybe that's how it's been done before, and maybe we're not going to do it this way again. But i'm telling you what my experience is, and what the benefit of that is. 310 00:41:23.510 --> 00:41:38.720 Christopher Lee: Um, Christopher, go ahead, please. Um, Even without an election committee. I think it's a prime opportunity for outreach committee to step up like this is something we need to be informing our constituents about, and anything that we ought to be 311 00:41:38.730 --> 00:41:49.089 Christopher Lee: informing our constituents about, in my opinion, falls under outreach right? So, in the absence of an election committee, we take it on, regardless that we can form a subcommittee, or whatever that might. 312 00:41:49.100 --> 00:41:50.630 Sima Kostovetsky: And who says that? 313 00:41:50.640 --> 00:41:51.950 Sima Kostovetsky: Who says that? 314 00:41:51.960 --> 00:42:01.490 Christopher Lee: I mean? You want to take it on? Go ahead. I just. I'm telling you what my resources are, and I'm being realistic about that, 315 00:42:01.500 --> 00:42:01.990 what it's. 316 00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:02.689 Christopher Lee: So 317 00:42:02.700 --> 00:42:21.140 Christopher Lee: I think we look at who within this committee is willing to take it on, I for one M. And then we start building out a plan that's actionable with the next couple of weeks since. Realistically, we are going to start within the next two, three weeks about this, so that word gets out so people can register as candidates and then run 318 00:42:21.150 --> 00:42:22.700 it's my car. 319 00:42:22.710 --> 00:42:24.279 Yeah, 320 00:42:24.700 --> 00:42:32.940 Christopher Lee: so what that might look like is a working meeting next week, and then getting actions completed by the week following. 321 00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:41.500 Sima Kostovetsky: Where do you think the guidance is going to come from? Do you think that's going to come from done? 322 00:42:41.520 --> 00:42:43.249 Christopher Lee: The guidance is 323 00:42:43.540 --> 00:42:51.789 Christopher Lee: it should come from done? But we do have an election timeline outline from them, and we also do have an election handler from in power. 324 00:42:51.800 --> 00:43:03.930 Sima Kostovetsky: You want to take the lead. You want to come up with some sort of content, and you want to run stuff by us. I'm happy for you to do that. I'm just telling you that 325 00:43:04.850 --> 00:43:18.360 Sima Kostovetsky: i'm. I'm putting this out on record. I cannot be responsible for the election. I have made that very clear. I know that as the outreach chair, certain responsibilities are going to come to me 326 00:43:18.530 --> 00:43:33.229 Sima Kostovetsky: and our committee. But outreach is not elections. We have so many other things that we need. We work at the behest of our committees. Okay, So we need to make sure that that doesn't fall through. 327 00:43:33.240 --> 00:43:44.580 Sima Kostovetsky: So i'm happy for you to do some research. But i'm putting myself on the record like I said, giving you the benefit of my advice, and I know ultimately it's going to be up to us. 328 00:43:44.590 --> 00:44:02.699 Sima Kostovetsky: But the day-to-day stuff that happens with the elections, especially you guys. You look I So I even have it on my agenda. The The November eighth is is the big election, so we got to make sure that we have the resources to do everything so just i'm not. 329 00:44:02.710 --> 00:44:05.370 Sima Kostovetsky: I'm hearing we're discussing. 330 00:44:05.630 --> 00:44:07.120 Sima Kostovetsky: I'm also 331 00:44:07.350 --> 00:44:09.390 Sima Kostovetsky: putting this out there 332 00:44:09.670 --> 00:44:15.289 Christopher Lee: mean in the absence of us doing it, or an elections committee. Who else is there 333 00:44:15.300 --> 00:44:18.490 Christopher Lee: like? Who are we passing the buck to in that regard? 334 00:44:18.500 --> 00:44:33.160 Sima Kostovetsky: I don't think we're closing the buck. I don't think that that's what i'm saying at all. I'm just saying that elections are going to happen differently this time around, and I want to make sure that we, as a committee, are protected, and 335 00:44:33.610 --> 00:44:51.100 Sima Kostovetsky: I don't know who's going to be running from our committee. I don't know who's going to be writing for for various publications. There's also that. So that's why there's always always been an objective person and an objective committee that's dealt with elections. 336 00:44:51.110 --> 00:44:58.290 Christopher Lee: I got that. And you're speculating on past circumstance. That's not present for this current election without an election committee. 337 00:44:58.360 --> 00:44:59.990 Christopher Lee: Who's responsible? 338 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:14.830 Christopher Lee: I don't know that I mean maybe that's a question for the board. That's not a question for the outreach committee. Have they made any indication as to what they um. You know what their plan is in blue of an election committee. 339 00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:19.089 Sima Kostovetsky: We have an executive board, we not? I am one person on my board 340 00:45:19.100 --> 00:45:24.059 Sima Kostovetsky: right. We'll make those decisions. So there Hasn't been any discussion? 341 00:45:28.590 --> 00:45:31.789 Vicki Halliday: I mean, that's I has been discussion. 342 00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:32.990 Angela McGregor: Okay, 343 00:45:33.410 --> 00:45:36.599 Vicki Halliday: because it's a new result. 344 00:45:41.340 --> 00:45:43.399 Angela McGregor: You Vicky, we're going to say 345 00:45:43.590 --> 00:45:45.259 Vicki Halliday: I was going to say 346 00:45:45.950 --> 00:45:52.360 Vicki Halliday: the way it's. It's it's fallen out, and Nick can probably speak to this as well. But 347 00:45:53.860 --> 00:45:56.430 Vicki Halliday: with guns, no rules, 348 00:45:57.070 --> 00:46:00.519 Vicki Halliday: there will not be a point person 349 00:46:00.720 --> 00:46:03.290 Vicki Halliday: like Ivan has always been 350 00:46:03.350 --> 00:46:13.700 Vicki Halliday: with a helper. There. Will not that that person is not existing, So that means that the President or the board 351 00:46:14.300 --> 00:46:21.890 Vicki Halliday: Somebody's going to have to get involved to help out That, as far as I know, has not been decided. 352 00:46:23.140 --> 00:46:27.580 Vicki Halliday: Jim's last, I know, seems to feel like that 353 00:46:27.890 --> 00:46:34.930 Vicki Halliday: there doesn't need to be anybody that this is just an outreach thing. But I don't think that outreach 354 00:46:35.010 --> 00:46:52.240 Vicki Halliday: should roll over and just have the whole election dumped on them, because I don't know what they're doing about the polling station, if it's an in-person vote I don't know some of the technical stuff, and if done is handling that. Or if the Council was handling that Nick, do you know, 355 00:47:02.430 --> 00:47:06.409 Nick Antonicello: to put together an elections time table? I don't know 356 00:47:06.550 --> 00:47:20.800 Nick Antonicello: if anyone did respond to it, or if he shared any Rp applicant with the rest of the boys. But some sense of history there used to be an elections committee, and I've been with the chairman. 357 00:47:21.140 --> 00:47:25.159 Nick Antonicello: Yeah, that's committee. You have to have more than one person, 358 00:47:25.430 --> 00:47:27.720 Nick Antonicello: so usually it was him. 359 00:47:28.090 --> 00:47:33.439 Nick Antonicello: I was around one time about five years ago, but usually it's been him 360 00:47:33.560 --> 00:47:35.509 Nick Antonicello: and was right, 361 00:47:36.740 --> 00:47:41.029 Nick Antonicello: and they've handled it in that. Two years ago 362 00:47:41.430 --> 00:47:44.439 Ivan decided that he didn't want to commit me 363 00:47:45.010 --> 00:47:50.880 Nick Antonicello: that he created. Well, the Board creates the position of an election administrator. 364 00:47:51.260 --> 00:48:08.799 Nick Antonicello: He became the election administrator doesn't really change what they always do. They centered out the voted guy that Kelly Willis the 365 00:48:08.930 --> 00:48:12.630 Nick Antonicello: They did some other things. They did that postcard which 366 00:48:13.610 --> 00:48:16.230 Nick Antonicello: you know. I don't know if that was, but 367 00:48:16.310 --> 00:48:19.749 Nick Antonicello: you know he usually does what he always does. He likes print. 368 00:48:19.900 --> 00:48:22.989 Nick Antonicello: We had a walking man distributed, 369 00:48:23.090 --> 00:48:27.410 Nick Antonicello: and with the city now quasi involved. 370 00:48:27.990 --> 00:48:37.949 Nick Antonicello: It is kind of a a different, a different kind of the I don't know why the City court just doesn't send a balance to everyone in that 371 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:57.749 Nick Antonicello: voter. You should just get about this whole nonsense of jumping through groups and having to apply for a ballot when they know who you are, and those people who are not residents like them up to a high for about. So you're a stakeholder, a business owner. 372 00:48:58.040 --> 00:49:06.839 Nick Antonicello: Those are the people that should be applying for a valid, and I and I made this. I said Mr. Jim at nauseam, 373 00:49:07.010 --> 00:49:17.679 Nick Antonicello: and he didn't like what I had to say, so I kind of backed off. I was interested in doing something very apparent. This is gonna be a big mess, 374 00:49:18.060 --> 00:49:21.770 Nick Antonicello: and here we are in middle of September. 375 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:27.750 Nick Antonicello: The deadline to announce as a candidate, I believe, is November the twenty fourth, the 376 00:49:28.040 --> 00:49:33.490 Vicki Halliday: it's twenty, six, November twenty, six. That's when it starts. Yeah, 377 00:49:33.500 --> 00:49:36.609 Sima Kostovetsky: that's when the filing period for candidate starts 378 00:49:36.710 --> 00:49:53.179 Nick Antonicello: and um, just just to add to next point I just want, and I get that. This is how things were done. I get that. That was like the past. But just so you know how much manpower went into it. You had a biden and Liz, and then you also had a designer, 379 00:49:53.580 --> 00:50:09.199 Sima Kostovetsky: and then you also had an assistant. I'm not here to judge what kind of work they did, or what kind of work they didn't do. I'm just saying that outreach cannot be the unilateral say in the Vmc. Election, That's just wrong. 380 00:50:23.260 --> 00:50:35.940 Nick Antonicello: And then Ivan has the 381 00:50:35.950 --> 00:50:39.019 Nick Antonicello: you have to credit that. Uh. 382 00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:48.980 Nick Antonicello: So right now I mean Jim is working from the notion that outreach is supposed to be doing. I don't know why he thinks that he knows the by one. 383 00:50:49.050 --> 00:50:50.100 Nick Antonicello: Okay, 384 00:50:50.200 --> 00:50:51.330 you know 385 00:50:51.410 --> 00:50:57.499 Nick Antonicello: that's where we're at. But there's an Rfp out there. Apparently no one responded to it, 386 00:50:57.770 --> 00:50:58.930 Nick Antonicello: and 387 00:50:59.590 --> 00:51:04.349 Nick Antonicello: the assumption is that somehow outreach needs to be involved. 388 00:51:04.680 --> 00:51:07.030 Nick Antonicello: I don't disagree with that. But 389 00:51:07.060 --> 00:51:08.209 Nick Antonicello: ah! 390 00:51:08.520 --> 00:51:09.989 Nick Antonicello: You know I mean, 391 00:51:16.750 --> 00:51:20.439 Nick Antonicello: you know, makes it all the more harder to to pull this off. 392 00:51:21.500 --> 00:51:50.829 Sima Kostovetsky: Let me just tell you how much money it takes, for example, to do a mass mailing right? Because, let's say, we wanted to do a mass mailing announcing the elections right. So we wanted to do a postcard where we wanted to do like for us to get three zip codes where people don't feel left out in Venice. It's over seven thousand dollars to do a mass mailing. So I think that because of the budget involved because of the work involved 393 00:51:51.200 --> 00:52:20.249 Sima Kostovetsky: to make sure that everything was done by the book. I'm not a Parliamentarian. I I don't know what to do. I'm just using Parliamentarian as an example. Somebody that knows their rules. I mean. Nick pointed something out, you know, that talks about the rule outreach. Look, I think we've we've. We've talked about it to death. You know my position. We're kind of in limbo right now, Christopher. By all means do whatever research you want to do. If there becomes a committee of volunteers 394 00:52:20.350 --> 00:52:33.630 Sima Kostovetsky: for the selection. Great um! Obviously I will follow guidelines from the city in terms of the roll out of dates, and the candidate forums and all that good stuff. 395 00:52:33.730 --> 00:52:35.029 Sima Kostovetsky: But 396 00:52:35.540 --> 00:52:38.600 Nick Antonicello: you your hard costs. This election 397 00:52:38.610 --> 00:52:45.290 Nick Antonicello: is the printed voter God, which is nothing but a relic. It's an anachronistic way to contact me. 398 00:52:45.300 --> 00:52:48.569 Nick Antonicello: And, by the way we did a digital guide of that as well. 399 00:52:48.580 --> 00:52:56.460 Nick Antonicello: So that was that was up. But that's where your costs are you? Look? If you look at the expenditure from the last election, 400 00:52:56.470 --> 00:53:13.059 Nick Antonicello: the biggest single source of money that was spent. 401 00:53:13.070 --> 00:53:20.830 Nick Antonicello: People don't go to magazines anymore. Everything's online not on your phone doesn't exist that just fix his life. 402 00:53:21.010 --> 00:53:24.890 Nick Antonicello: So you know you can cut the cost dramatically. 403 00:53:24.930 --> 00:53:29.890 Nick Antonicello: If the people who are going to do this have some background in social media 404 00:53:30.460 --> 00:53:33.349 Nick Antonicello: little marketing, because that's where all this is that. 405 00:53:33.560 --> 00:53:37.429 Nick Antonicello: And to to run this thing like It's one thousand nine hundred and forty-six. 406 00:53:37.450 --> 00:53:40.489 Nick Antonicello: It's It's just not a good idea. It it, you know 407 00:53:40.500 --> 00:53:48.969 Sima Kostovetsky: well, and you know that during the last election we really kind of tried to to hold a lot of that in. So you know. 408 00:53:49.250 --> 00:53:54.689 Sima Kostovetsky: But, Christina, do you have anything that you want to add, or do you want to pipe in, or do you have any thoughts. 409 00:53:54.950 --> 00:54:10.899 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Yeah, I I hear whatever I'm saying, I tend to agree with where we've landed. I do. I think that it is a good idea, nonetheless, to have. Christopher Mia is going to take the lead um to do A. 410 00:54:11.740 --> 00:54:31.219 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Whether it's a subcommittee or a a research committee, whatever it is. Um! And see what next steps could possibly be what we can get out of this, because I do at least in theory, think that it does fall on us, 411 00:54:31.230 --> 00:54:36.200 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: even if it's just a little bit, you know, and we have to support that little bit, 412 00:54:36.740 --> 00:55:01.139 Sima Kostovetsky: I mean, at this point. Do we want to come up with a motion to the board where we say, or we spell out what we want to be responsible for, or should we give it a little bit of time, and and you know just kind of save it while we're We want to, you know. We feel like the Vmc. Elections should be separate from outreach for a number. 413 00:55:01.150 --> 00:55:03.869 Vicki Halliday: I think it's a conversation, Sima, 414 00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:07.189 Vicki Halliday: with Jim and Daffodil and you 415 00:55:07.570 --> 00:55:12.020 Vicki Halliday: I mean, I think you know there just has to be a meeting about this 416 00:55:12.930 --> 00:55:19.840 Vicki Halliday: There, I know that there have been a value from higher people, those things. But I would suggest a more formal 417 00:55:20.420 --> 00:55:21.660 Vicki Halliday: meeting. 418 00:55:22.570 --> 00:55:25.360 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, You mean amongst the executives. 419 00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:34.750 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, yeah, or you know, whatever you're comfortable with. But I think that putting a motion through at this point could work against us. 420 00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:50.340 Vicki Halliday: And and just so, you know we have two board meetings. So you know we we have a little bit of time to iron this out, because technically we, you know we can start announcing in the beginning of November. But like I said, Um, 421 00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:52.390 Sima Kostovetsky: okay. So thank you. 422 00:55:52.520 --> 00:55:54.169 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you. My committee. 423 00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:56.529 Sima Kostovetsky: Ah, moving on 424 00:55:57.140 --> 00:55:59.920 Nick Antonicello: before you move on. I was just curious 425 00:56:00.030 --> 00:56:08.830 Nick Antonicello: how many. If you want to get into this, I mean you have the time to put together a plan and submit it to you 426 00:56:08.990 --> 00:56:12.160 Nick Antonicello: and others, or 427 00:56:19.210 --> 00:56:33.900 Christopher Lee: I get that. I'm not foolhardy enough to say i'm going to manage the entire election alone, but outlining a strategy that's implementable by a team is my intention here. So, putting that plan in front of the like in front of the executive board, and then 428 00:56:33.910 --> 00:56:43.880 Nick Antonicello: seeing who's going to volunteer to support that. And how we can make that happen is my intention. 429 00:56:49.400 --> 00:57:04.239 Sima Kostovetsky: Maybe that maybe that's a a way to go where, like you do some research. You figure out where we want to go, and then we figure out within our own committee what we want to do with it, and then submit that to the board. Is that what you're saying? Nick? 430 00:57:04.650 --> 00:57:05.490 Nick Antonicello: Yes, 431 00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:06.459 Angela McGregor: Yeah. 432 00:57:06.470 --> 00:57:12.669 Christopher Lee: Now do we have time to do that with? Yes, funding approval. 433 00:57:13.050 --> 00:57:21.290 Sima Kostovetsky: So i'm assuming, unless i'm wrong. Well, first of all, we have. We're going to have over twelve thousand dollars sitting in this case 434 00:57:21.300 --> 00:57:23.759 Sima Kostovetsky: pot of election money. 435 00:57:24.490 --> 00:57:35.589 Sima Kostovetsky: I don't even want to touch that again, because that's always been a separate That's never been my purview, and I don't want to like. So there's a lot of stuff that that needs to be figured out in terms of the spending of the money we have to 436 00:57:35.600 --> 00:57:36.850 Sima Kostovetsky: budget, 437 00:57:37.310 --> 00:57:49.869 Nick Antonicello: you know, so that that again. That's why I said, like outreach can't be the final arbitrary of all of this. Um. So again, because the amount of money that's involved, It's the third of our budget, 438 00:57:49.910 --> 00:58:00.819 Nick Antonicello: and we put up. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Nick. 439 00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:07.480 Nick Antonicello: You can make Christopher a hesitant task force, and then anyone who wants to help them. 440 00:58:07.680 --> 00:58:11.740 Nick Antonicello: And then for the next meeting. Don't have a plan 441 00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:12.939 Nick Antonicello: with this 442 00:58:22.770 --> 00:58:25.700 Sima Kostovetsky: Christopher. How much time do you think you'll need 443 00:58:26.230 --> 00:58:38.340 Christopher Lee: the set of a plan? Not just a plan, but like You've got to talk to people, and you've got to figure out, you know. Are you going to have support? Are you going to have help? But How are you going to structure the volunteers? 444 00:58:39.570 --> 00:58:40.770 Nick Antonicello: Oh, 445 00:58:40.810 --> 00:58:48.770 Christopher Lee: thanks, Nick, About a week, honestly. So something to you by October the first. 446 00:58:48.940 --> 00:58:54.119 Vicki Halliday: Okay, that's what we could. We could have a special meeting and get it in front of the board next board meeting. 447 00:58:54.370 --> 00:59:12.820 Sima Kostovetsky: That that's kind of what i'm getting to, because if money is involved. We got to get in front of Well, I I don't want the touch budget. We might just have to like reallocate that money some way, somehow. Um! But you know, I think that there's a couple of touch points that maybe you should look at that. We've done in the past that have been successful, 448 00:59:13.210 --> 00:59:17.589 Sima Kostovetsky: and you know, go from there 449 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:22.910 here. 450 00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:34.189 Nick Antonicello: He agreed to do this. 451 00:59:34.200 --> 00:59:35.169 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Now, 452 00:59:35.180 --> 00:59:36.390 Sima Kostovetsky: thank you. 453 00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:39.769 Nick Antonicello: Yeah, let's move forward with moving on. 454 00:59:39.780 --> 00:59:56.390 Nick Antonicello: Okay, moving on to eight Number eight, the big elections counting and city wide elections. 455 00:59:56.400 --> 00:59:57.890 Sima Kostovetsky: We need to do that. 456 00:59:57.900 --> 00:59:59.880 Nick Antonicello: Yeah.

Election for a next meeting, asking Christopher to present to the committee a plan of action. 471 01:01:21.080 --> 01:01:24.139 Sima Kostovetsky: That's it, and, like you said, let him run with it. 472 01:01:24.210 --> 01:01:27.370 Nick Antonicello: It's why I make the motion of fifty seconds. You call it off. 473 01:01:33.890 --> 01:01:36.370 Nick Antonicello: No, I get that public comment 474 01:01:36.380 --> 01:01:38.489 Sima Kostovetsky: on the motion. 475 01:01:38.500 --> 01:01:39.279 Yeah, 476 01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:46.100 Sima Kostovetsky: do we have. Cj. Is about to speak. And, Helen, 477 01:01:49.300 --> 01:01:57.880 CJ Cole: if you're ready for me, I am a hundred percent in favor of it. Your emotions should have a date 478 01:01:57.890 --> 01:02:17.060 CJ Cole: specific. Uh, when you're planning on having your next meeting, so that, uh, it works with a schedule, and people are aware of it. And uh, to some extent it is my background. So if you need some help uh, Christopher, uh, give me a hour. I can give you some help. 479 01:02:17.070 --> 01:02:18.689 Christopher Lee: A patient at Cj: 480 01:02:18.700 --> 01:02:21.979 Sima Kostovetsky: you do is very good at marketing. 481 01:02:23.670 --> 01:02:25.670 CJ Cole: I I'm: Mildred. 482 01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:27.959 CJ Cole: Yeah, that's okay. 483 01:02:27.970 --> 01:02:28.750 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, 484 01:02:28.760 --> 01:02:32.040 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Helen, Do you want to speak also? 485 01:02:33.650 --> 01:02:49.770 Helen Fallon: Um: yeah. I was also going to say you need. This is a tight deadline, because everything's got to be end of the board for the October meeting, because you can't be telling people that the window of opportunity for people to split their applications is like 486 01:02:49.780 --> 01:02:54.989 Helen Fallon: late November to like the second week of January. It's very tight. There's all those holidays in New Jersey. 487 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:58.019 Helen Fallon: You've got to get people aware that this is happening. 488 01:02:58.030 --> 01:03:10.340 Helen Fallon: You don't have to reinvent the wheel. I'm telling you there's other ncs out there who are already flush from it along in the process. You've read all this stuff. They've got themselves organized, I think, Christmas, and thinking to act on some of that, 489 01:03:10.350 --> 01:03:18.149 Helen Fallon: save a lot of time and set up a date, for when you're going to get back together exactly what you're going to do and have your funding motions in place, because, 490 01:03:18.540 --> 01:03:27.269 Helen Fallon: you know, if you're going to do outreach on this, you're going to have to figure out how much it's going to cost you. You got to tell everybody it's not up to the Budget Committee or the Board to decide that, 491 01:03:27.380 --> 01:03:34.560 Helen Fallon: so I don't think it's as complicated as you want to make it out to be. If I've seen other Ncs do this, and it isn't 492 01:03:34.570 --> 01:03:37.009 Helen Fallon: It's easily done by volunteers. 493 01:03:37.180 --> 01:03:40.840 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you, Helen, and thanks for volunteering your time, too. 494 01:03:40.850 --> 01:03:46.140 Helen Fallon: Yeah, no. I'm more than willing to. I've done some research already. So let's share it. 495 01:03:46.210 --> 01:03:48.620 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Good. Thank you. 496 01:03:53.270 --> 01:03:57.609 Nick Antonicello: So you guys just taking a look at dates. 497 01:03:57.790 --> 01:04:17.060 Sima Kostovetsky: Part of the reason why I can't set the October meeting yet is because by the time we meet in October on our regular Wednesday. It's going to be too late. We need to still before the Board meeting, and I need to check with J. About Budget, because I have to. So, Christopher, you got to come back to us, and i'll check with Jay usually. Um at least 498 01:04:17.080 --> 01:04:27.390 Sima Kostovetsky: the last few meetings that we've been having. I think they're basically like the week before Adcom, or a few days before I come. So we have time. 499 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:33.189 Nick Antonicello: So i'd like to aim for you like the first week of October? 500 01:04:33.200 --> 01:04:36.189 Christopher Lee: Yeah, Will October? 501 01:04:36.200 --> 01:04:39.300 Sima Kostovetsky: Because I believe, like, let me just check because 502 01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:44.689 Sima Kostovetsky: it it gets a little dicey because of the Jewish holidays. So I just want to make sure that there's nothing. 503 01:04:44.700 --> 01:04:51.580 Christopher Lee: Yeah, i'm looking at October the fifth and Yum Kipper ends on that evening, so will that be workable? 504 01:04:51.660 --> 01:04:55.330 Nick Antonicello: No, because that's when you break the fast. How about October sixth? 505 01:04:57.000 --> 01:04:59.879 Sima Kostovetsky: Let me look at I can't do October sixth 506 01:05:00.340 --> 01:05:02.100 Nick Antonicello: we're about October seven 507 01:05:05.250 --> 01:05:07.640 Sima Kostovetsky: It's a Friday that's tough. 508 01:05:10.110 --> 01:05:11.790 Christopher Lee: Can we do? The tenth 509 01:05:13.250 --> 01:05:17.189 Christopher Lee: twelfth is the Wednesday before Adc. Is that too little time? 510 01:05:17.200 --> 01:05:35.879 Nick Antonicello: What can we pencil that in you guys. Um: Well, because, honestly, it's either the tenth or the twelfth. Let's pencil in October twelfth, and i'll talk to Jay, and i'll email you guys and honestly, the only up. I'm sorry. 511 01:05:35.890 --> 01:05:41.390 Christopher Lee: I'm actually going to be flying for a wedding on the tenth. So if i'm twelve. 512 01:05:41.400 --> 01:05:41.990 Yeah. 513 01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:55.960 Christopher Lee: Okay. So because at least we keep it till Wednesday, so let's um. Let me. Uh let me speak with Budget, and make sure that we have enough time, because the the vote and the back is going to need to happen in October, 514 01:05:56.590 --> 01:05:58.410 Helen Fallon: for on the back 515 01:05:58.420 --> 01:06:01.120 Helen Fallon: i'm on the Budget Committee, and 516 01:06:01.180 --> 01:06:05.090 Helen Fallon: you're making a very tight timeline here. You really need to 517 01:06:05.100 --> 01:06:14.509 Helen Fallon: back it up. So there's some time for you to get estimates, and 518 01:06:15.340 --> 01:06:18.490 Sima Kostovetsky: well hold on.

Yes, exactly. But see tonight there were no issues. Did you notice that 594 01:11:08.740 --> 01:11:12.179 Christopher Lee: I signed on late? So 595 01:11:12.490 --> 01:11:13.790 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, Okay, 596 01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:19.479 Nick Antonicello: I am moving on, you guys. Let's go because we're we're at Item eight. 597 01:11:21.570 --> 01:11:22.949 Sima Kostovetsky: I'm it. 598 01:11:24.240 --> 01:11:36.990 Sima Kostovetsky: We need a budget for the elections. We got to push out the elect. We got to do to get out the vote. I know Brian's on my side with some really really great art, that's a priority. 599 01:11:38.570 --> 01:11:44.839 Sima Kostovetsky: So Let's do that. Um, I have some money. 600 01:11:45.830 --> 01:11:56.410 Nick Antonicello: We're going to have to come back on ten, three, and vote on this as well. I want to make sure that I back myself up with any kind of promotions that we wanted. 601 01:11:56.810 --> 01:12:00.679 Nick Antonicello: How much money did you spend last year? 602 01:12:01.910 --> 01:12:18.099 Nick Antonicello: Oh, no, no, no, i'm not talking about B and C. I'm not talking about the Nc. Elections. I'm talking about La County and uh, La County, and you know, get out the vote. So I guess the question for us is, do we want to spend money as the Bmc. 603 01:12:18.390 --> 01:12:22.929 Nick Antonicello: He's candid to spend the millions of dollars to get people to vote, and no one's going to vote anyone. 604 01:12:24.050 --> 01:12:31.609 Angela McGregor: I would definitely do some social media. I mean that that's no money and and just you know, 605 01:12:32.010 --> 01:12:37.570 Angela McGregor: I mean like I think yesterday I was it Today was registered to vote day, or 606 01:12:37.830 --> 01:12:47.889 Angela McGregor: you know, so that should be promoted, and um, and of course it's not. It's not even election day anymore. It's election month. So 607 01:12:48.020 --> 01:13:07.420 Sima Kostovetsky: right now it's going to show up on October tenth, and everybody. So it's it's It's It's very different. I mean I to next point everybody's going to get a ballot in the mail, so that in and of itself is a piece of pro voting material right? It's like 608 01:13:07.430 --> 01:13:11.920 Angela McGregor: the bills pay. You need to pay the bill, you know you need to. So 609 01:13:12.060 --> 01:13:16.640 Sima Kostovetsky: I absolutely do a little. You know social media. 610 01:13:18.330 --> 01:13:24.539 Sima Kostovetsky: I don't think it's worth spending money here. I agree with Nick. I think he's, 611 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:41.089 Nick Antonicello: and also just remember we have a hundred and fifty dollars a month that we can spend on promotion of meetings that we can spend on any kind of neighborhood council activity through, so that that will be enough 612 01:13:41.100 --> 01:13:46.629 Nick Antonicello: that you do want you to create a tagline that says, Don't. Forget to vote, 613 01:13:52.300 --> 01:14:00.129 Nick Antonicello: you know. And Venice votes. Yeah, just incorporate that in any messaging you do, which is now in November. 614 01:14:04.400 --> 01:14:08.750 Nick Antonicello: I think I think that if anybody 615 01:14:10.910 --> 01:14:14.400 Sima Kostovetsky: she wants to, you know, come up with a tag, me thing 616 01:14:15.210 --> 01:14:21.300 Nick Antonicello: i'm so sorry I need to run to the restaurant. I was giving thirty seconds. 617 01:14:23.940 --> 01:14:25.019 Yeah, 618 01:14:25.230 --> 01:14:26.379 the side to nurse. 619 01:14:29.530 --> 01:14:35.180 Helen Fallon: I give public comment. I support your thing that just do it on the website. And 620 01:14:35.670 --> 01:14:39.690 Helen Fallon: this is ridiculous. You should spend your energy on promoting the Bmc election. 621 01:14:39.700 --> 01:14:46.459 Helen Fallon: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, there's a gazillion people running. You're gonna get. We're gonna get so much paperwork in the nail. 622 01:14:46.470 --> 01:14:54.790 Helen Fallon: What are you guys? Sorry we're not talking about the Bnc election? I'm just making my public comment to say, 623 01:14:57.620 --> 01:14:58.639 Angela McGregor: Yeah, 624 01:14:58.780 --> 01:15:03.230 Sima Kostovetsky: no. Essentially. What she's saying is when i'm we're talking about the 625 01:15:03.240 --> 01:15:05.709 Helen Fallon: But you went to the bathroom Go? 626 01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:11.869 Well, i'm gone. 627 01:15:12.160 --> 01:15:13.690 Angela McGregor: I'm.

Can you hear me? 656 01:17:05.390 --> 01:17:06.700 Nick Antonicello: Yes, 657 01:17:09.250 --> 01:17:11.089 Nick Antonicello: can.

But when you went to the job, everyone that you should just incorporate Spanish votes or some kind of a on all future advertising just as a reminder. 662 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:41.190 Vicki Halliday: But i'm trying that way 663 01:17:41.200 --> 01:17:43.599 Sima Kostovetsky: it's using something. Uh, 664 01:17:43.770 --> 01:17:49.110 Nick Antonicello: I think I think what Christina said was simple, and to the point that it's post That's fine. 665 01:17:49.350 --> 01:17:50.090 Nick Antonicello: It just reminds me 666 01:17:50.100 --> 01:17:51.790 using our colors. 667 01:17:52.230 --> 01:17:54.190 Nick Antonicello: You get the color you want. I'm: just 668 01:17:54.200 --> 01:17:54.690 the 669 01:17:54.700 --> 01:17:56.840 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: yeah. I would use our cars. 670 01:17:57.110 --> 01:18:02.229 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, Yeah, Christina, If you have any suggestions, we can highlight that. 671 01:18:02.910 --> 01:18:04.179 Thank you. 672 01:18:05.080 --> 01:18:10.750 Sima Kostovetsky: Ok, I'm moving on to item nine electric light parade. 673 01:18:13.260 --> 01:18:24.869 Sima Kostovetsky: I want to be able to promote them. I think they do a really really amazing job for the community. I know that there are five hundred and one, C three, even if I want to run them through our social media. 674 01:18:25.020 --> 01:18:33.480 Sima Kostovetsky: All I want to say. I just want to like, Recognize them. That's all I just want to say. Hey, this is their ride. This is what they do. 675 01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:37.149 Sima Kostovetsky: I just want to start, 676 01:18:37.330 --> 01:18:45.130 Sima Kostovetsky: maybe highlighting. Not just our committees, but you know, people in our neighborhood who make Venice who we are, 677 01:18:45.660 --> 01:18:53.660 Sima Kostovetsky: even to promote them on our social media. I have to have a board vote, and it has to give a budget. 678 01:18:53.700 --> 01:18:59.800 Sima Kostovetsky: So I want to talk to you people about supporting them or not supporting them. 679 01:19:02.380 --> 01:19:05.789 Nick Antonicello: Is there a cost involved? I mean, there's no cost at all. 680 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:18.940 Sima Kostovetsky: Well, it's not that there's a cost. But you know, since we use social media. We have city money allotted to social media any time I boost or promote that technically has to be approved by the board. 681 01:19:19.900 --> 01:19:21.250 Sima Kostovetsky: So 682 01:19:21.650 --> 01:19:23.030 Sima Kostovetsky: um 683 01:19:24.890 --> 01:19:35.329 Sima Kostovetsky: do we see that? I mean, look ultimately is, we can make our own decision and then take it up to the board, and then the Board can make a decision of whether they want to support the organization. 684 01:19:35.490 --> 01:19:36.900 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, 685 01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:41.129 you know. I mean in the grand scheme of things. 686 01:19:41.480 --> 01:19:42.510 Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah, 687 01:19:44.240 --> 01:19:45.929 somebody mentioned it. 688 01:19:53.630 --> 01:19:57.139 I'm going to ask for public comment If there's any. 689 01:19:58.630 --> 01:20:01.090 Nick Antonicello: C. J. I see your hand. 690 01:20:01.100 --> 01:20:06.889 CJ Cole: Sorry I don't plan on being part of your meeting, but this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of 691 01:20:06.900 --> 01:20:24.150 CJ Cole: space for. Fine on what is important If it is the upcoming elections. Spend your time on that. If you don't have time to do that. You certainly don't have time to promote an electric light parade. Um! And all these things. You're coming up with. 692 01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:29.470 CJ Cole: It's like I don't know what you think the outreach already is for, 693 01:20:29.480 --> 01:20:34.280 CJ Cole: but to me it's a promotion for the Venice Neighborhood Council. 694 01:20:34.540 --> 01:20:48.659 CJ Cole: But um I don't know I'm kind of speaking on all of these things you're talking about if you need to focus. I thought you were supposed to be doing it um whatever they're called. 695 01:20:48.870 --> 01:21:01.080 CJ Cole: You know community meetings orderly, whether quarterly needs, and you never do any of those I don't can't quite figure out what your committee is trying to do. That's all I have to say. 696 01:21:01.210 --> 01:21:02.970 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you. Cj. 697 01:21:03.370 --> 01:21:12.430 Vicki Halliday: Helen, Do you have your hand raised? I just want to point out that you, 698 01:21:12.970 --> 01:21:21.129 Helen Fallon: as much as you may love the Venice Electric light parade, and they may be a five hundred and one threec. They are not a city organization. 699 01:21:21.300 --> 01:21:40.289 Helen Fallon: You can't publicize them on the website. That's a new subsidy of resources to promote something private, and you just can't do it. So, you know. Do it? Do everyone a favor? Because if it went to the Budget Committee, we're going to have to reject it because it doesn't meet the criteria for funding It's prohibited, 700 01:21:40.490 --> 01:21:59.090 Helen Fallon: and it's a wasting the Board's time to interview and entertain the motion. We're not here to advertise heighted businesses and nonprofits, et cetera. The purpose of the Vnc. And the website, and their media is to promote the business of the Bnc. And to promote the city businesses 701 01:21:59.100 --> 01:22:02.859 Helen Fallon: at city business. So people are informed about government. 702 01:22:02.870 --> 01:22:06.160 Helen Fallon: I That's what your job is. It's not. You're not the 703 01:22:06.870 --> 01:22:10.090 Helen Fallon: They're not the Chamber of Commerce. 704 01:22:10.100 --> 01:22:12.560 Helen Fallon: You can't do it. They won't. Let you do it. 705 01:22:12.570 --> 01:22:14.259 Thank you, Helen, 706 01:22:15.370 --> 01:22:16.510 Sima Kostovetsky: okay 707 01:22:17.070 --> 01:22:20.600 Nick Antonicello: to any comment. There is no motion on the floor. 708 01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:22.520 Sima Kostovetsky: There's no motion. 709 01:22:22.530 --> 01:22:28.430 Vicki Halliday: Well, there is a motion. There's a motion to support the bell. 710 01:22:28.440 --> 01:22:29.519 Nick Antonicello: It was the destruction. 711 01:22:30.050 --> 01:22:32.289 Nick Antonicello: Not a motion. There, there's no second. 712 01:22:41.510 --> 01:22:44.990 Nick Antonicello: So frankly Don't need our help. They get so much press in their own. 713 01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:46.900 Nick Antonicello: It's not 714 01:22:48.310 --> 01:22:50.520 Nick Antonicello: so. Here's the one. You have to consider. 715 01:22:50.770 --> 01:22:55.460 Nick Antonicello: The people that ride in that parade don't live in Venice. 716 01:22:56.120 --> 01:23:01.629 Nick Antonicello: They come from all over the place. They come from Orange County to come from Las Vegas. They come from a moment, 717 01:23:02.530 --> 01:23:05.450 Nick Antonicello: even though it's called the Venice Electric Light. 718 01:23:07.050 --> 01:23:08.799 Nick Antonicello: It's a name of it 719 01:23:08.950 --> 01:23:11.309 Nick Antonicello: you must really have, or from that, 720 01:23:11.590 --> 01:23:12.679 Nick Antonicello: and 721 01:23:12.860 --> 01:23:16.299 Nick Antonicello: I I I love the parade. I i'm in there every week. But 722 01:23:16.310 --> 01:23:18.579 Nick Antonicello: you don't really need our help. You're fine. 723 01:23:19.050 --> 01:23:33.390 Vicki Halliday: The reason why I brought this up. Just let me give you like two sex of history. I literally got eight emails asking for some sort of recognition. So I thought i'd bring it to you. I didn't. I didn't just pull this out of my You know 724 01:23:33.400 --> 01:23:33.889 Nick Antonicello: It's a 725 01:23:33.900 --> 01:23:35.939 Vicki Halliday: to ask in that. 726 01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:51.799 Nick Antonicello: Uh there were three d emails for who do you think you guys moving on? We're moving on? I brought it up because we we brought it up. 727 01:23:52.770 --> 01:23:55.009 Sima Kostovetsky: No, no, why not 728 01:23:55.020 --> 01:23:58.510 Nick Antonicello: not working? He does not tell him himself 729 01:23:59.950 --> 01:24:02.450 Sima Kostovetsky: like that, at least to me he does not 730 01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:05.389 Vicki Halliday: on split. So that's for me. 731 01:24:05.400 --> 01:24:09.090 Nick Antonicello: Okay, moving on. 732 01:24:09.970 --> 01:24:13.889 What do you mean? Like constituents. I'm not going to go back and 733 01:24:14.400 --> 01:24:15.420 Nick Antonicello: to the 734 01:24:16.710 --> 01:24:21.579 I didn't realize that it wasn't venice I mean? Obviously it's Venice-based Okay, moving on 735 01:24:21.890 --> 01:24:23.389 number ten. 736 01:24:23.570 --> 01:24:28.589 Sima Kostovetsky: Who and how do we want to highlight Vmc. Committees? 737 01:24:34.030 --> 01:24:40.590 Vicki Halliday: Well, I don't know. I mean, where. Where do you plan on doing this? I mean when somebody has an important mating 738 01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:41.619 Vicki Halliday: about it. 739 01:24:42.030 --> 01:24:49.680 Vicki Halliday: You know it gets on social media. It gets it gets everywhere. Are you talking about writing content articles, or what are you talking about? 740 01:24:50.280 --> 01:24:53.149 Sima Kostovetsky: That's part of I, at least wanted to, 741 01:24:53.640 --> 01:25:01.950 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, Like, for example, i'm going to use resiliency. Obviously, when they have something going on, we promote it. 742 01:25:01.970 --> 01:25:08.829 Sima Kostovetsky: Do you think that it makes sense to let our community know about the committees that we have? 743 01:25:09.500 --> 01:25:11.820 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: So I know, like, for example, 744 01:25:15.020 --> 01:25:44.079 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Yeah, I think also since, and we kind of talked about this before. But since we already kind of have a the retention or attention uh deficit um, it'd be great to start highlighting the committees that we do have, and I think one of the things that we have said was, Let's send in like, for example, the resiliency, I understand, biased along the resiliency. Um, you know we already have photos that I could send you about events that we've done in the past. We already have ideas of things that we're going to do in the near future, 745 01:25:44.090 --> 01:26:03.790 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: so like, I think, like that kind of thing highlighting. We keep it, you know. Low maintenance, um, you know. Not write an entire thing on it, but just social media posts. Highlight them all on our website, um, and and just introduce them to the community, so that people know. And then you know, 746 01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:10.590 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Chair, how to contact. You know the chairperson of that committee. If you're interested in learning more or being a part of it. 747 01:26:10.940 --> 01:26:12.839 Sima Kostovetsky: Where does that live? 748 01:26:14.700 --> 01:26:22.499 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: I mean, I think, that we can both do social, which is just like on the grid on, but you know it'll live on the grid so. 749 01:26:22.510 --> 01:26:34.869 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: But then also, you know, we can consider as a committee, you know, making it spotlight on one of the additional things folks can find on our website. 750 01:26:36.450 --> 01:26:50.629 Sima Kostovetsky: Do you think it makes sense along with that, for example. So at our board meetings and yesterday they I I don't know if you notice where we have like, I think, over eighty people. 751 01:26:50.640 --> 01:26:52.740 Vicki Halliday: We're ninety-two 752 01:26:52.860 --> 01:26:55.619 Sima Kostovetsky: ninety-two. So um 753 01:26:55.630 --> 01:27:13.010 Sima Kostovetsky: you know we we are getting engagement hopefully. So what about highlighting them as well at the board meetings right where they like, instead of just giving a chair where they talk about what they do like. For example, I would love, you know, to let 754 01:27:13.210 --> 01:27:19.500 Sima Kostovetsky: our community know what you do, what Arbor Committee does right like what Homelessness Committee 755 01:27:22.780 --> 01:27:27.930 Sima Kostovetsky: highlight that, like on the committee page, do we? 756 01:27:29.220 --> 01:27:31.220 Vicki Halliday: It's pretty, 757 01:27:35.560 --> 01:28:05.030 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: I think, that that's a good idea. That's actually something we discussed so giving some floor time uh! During these board meetings, which are well attended by the community for a specific committee uh to kind of make their pitch again, keep it simple. And then at the same time, when we know that the board that committees kind of talk, we just have some social media kind of back up on it. Um! So that folks, you know they might not immediately, you know, 758 01:28:05.040 --> 01:28:11.749 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: be attracted to what was said. But look, we're backing it up on social media. It's kind of a reminder kind of bank. 759 01:28:15.910 --> 01:28:17.690 Vicki Halliday: Did we lose Sema? 760 01:28:18.890 --> 01:28:28.519 Sima Kostovetsky: No, no, no, I'm shaking my head, I turned off my camera to save my Internet. No, i'm shaking my head in agreement. 761 01:28:29.120 --> 01:28:35.529 Sima Kostovetsky: Does anybody want to come up with a plan as to who we approach first like what committees 762 01:28:36.430 --> 01:28:44.749 Sima Kostovetsky: I mean, you know, because again, ultimately, it's up to the chairs, and how they want to participate in their how their committees, you know, want to participate. So I think that 763 01:28:44.950 --> 01:29:02.410 Vicki Halliday: obviously, if you have an event, we publicize that on social media, and then, you know, maybe do like spotlight on resiliency. Right? So I would high. Then I would. I would tie some little things in like when 764 01:29:02.420 --> 01:29:09.709 Vicki Halliday: resiliency is having an event like the one coming up. That's the time that you want to tie in something on the website, 765 01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:11.280 Vicki Halliday: Um, 766 01:29:11.630 --> 01:29:19.409 Vicki Halliday: you know. Otherwise you're You're going to put committees on the spot that may not have anything going on. They really want to advertise. 767 01:29:19.500 --> 01:29:35.820 Vicki Halliday: So you know, like right now, parking and transportation is very involved in um the Venice Boulevard situation. So they would be an obvious one, so would resiliency. Resiliency is easy, because they've always got something going on. It's good, 768 01:29:35.830 --> 01:29:44.050 Vicki Halliday: you know. Um Arbor committee is always doing good stuff, so you've got the 769 01:29:44.750 --> 01:29:52.000 Vicki Halliday: well. Yeah, I mean, we try that. Not every meeting is, you know, great. But we tried, 770 01:29:53.030 --> 01:29:57.259 Vicki Halliday: you know, but I would do that. I would I would piggyback on. 771 01:29:58.200 --> 01:30:05.059 Vicki Halliday: You know these events that you know we're coming. I mean, like Robert is going to do another mobility meeting. What next week? 772 01:30:05.820 --> 01:30:07.450 On the third. 773 01:30:07.580 --> 01:30:16.669 Vicki Halliday: Yeah. Oh, so you know, that would be behind my shit. That's ours, you guys, 774 01:30:16.780 --> 01:30:19.830 Vicki Halliday: We can always get it from the city. I mean, if you get 775 01:30:20.550 --> 01:30:22.510 Sima Kostovetsky: we'll we'll figure it out. 776 01:30:22.830 --> 01:30:26.759 Vicki Halliday: So we can have an early meeting. We can do an early meeting, too. 777 01:30:27.160 --> 01:30:29.749 Nick Antonicello: Sheila. Do we still have an email list, 778 01:30:30.590 --> 01:30:32.210 Nick Antonicello: current or 779 01:30:32.340 --> 01:30:35.570 Sima Kostovetsky: ah, yes, actually in constant contact. 780 01:30:35.580 --> 01:30:37.930 Nick Antonicello: And And how many people on that? What 781 01:30:38.940 --> 01:30:45.790 Nick Antonicello: we have about five thousand right now we do a Newsletter once a month, or 782 01:30:45.800 --> 01:30:48.889 Nick Antonicello: I just did one for the Board meeting on Sunday. 783 01:30:48.900 --> 01:31:06.369 Nick Antonicello: So why not this instead of like trying to reinvent the wheel here? Why, don't you just put a line in there? We need to. Are you a Znc member, or you want a committee? What are you doing? Send the news to outreach at Venezuela, and just make it easy. Make it something. 784 01:31:07.280 --> 01:31:20.749 Nick Antonicello: Wait you're talking about committees, or you're talking about involvement, or both. 785 01:31:20.850 --> 01:31:26.789 Nick Antonicello: Send it to outreach at Venice, Nc. Or if you have a photo so as a photo, you 786 01:31:27.330 --> 01:31:28.490 Nick Antonicello: I mean, 787 01:31:28.610 --> 01:31:31.379 Nick Antonicello: you know. Why make this so difficult? 788 01:31:31.390 --> 01:31:33.570 Sima Kostovetsky: Well, I guess you got a good point. 789 01:31:35.670 --> 01:31:37.189 Vicki Halliday: It's a good point, Nick. 790 01:31:37.200 --> 01:31:38.979 Nick Antonicello: Oh, i'm sorry 791 01:31:38.990 --> 01:31:43.819 Sima Kostovetsky: you're getting praised. Wait, hold on! Christopher patiently has his hand up. Go ahead. 792 01:31:45.480 --> 01:31:57.640 Christopher Lee: Oh, you were asking for people to speak with the spotlight on. We have great options right here, like we keep pointing to resiliency. We can do is spotlight on ourselves, 793 01:31:57.650 --> 01:32:09.910 Christopher Lee: and with the task force for the election, which is going to be incredibly relevant. Starting in like two weeks, plus, we might as well just knock out three pieces of content right now, and use those as 794 01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:29.910 Christopher Lee: as kind of demos for the other committees to get involved, because right now, approaching the what this idea there by like this. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense, et cetera, but clearly showing them this is what a spotlight looks like. We just need five minutes of your time to sit in front of an iconographer who's going to record you right. 795 01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:35.959 Nick Antonicello: I mean the Homeless Committee put together two very good presentation on the 796 01:32:36.280 --> 01:32:46.829 Nick Antonicello: you know, with with darling and with far. I don't know if anyone has an editing background. We could probably take those two zoom meetings turn it into like a five minute. 797 01:32:47.520 --> 01:32:55.280 Nick Antonicello: You know we have both candidates talking, and this is what they talked about. I think a lot of people be interested in something like that, 798 01:32:55.440 --> 01:32:58.189 Nick Antonicello: You know. That's the big issue that you've got. You can. 799 01:32:58.200 --> 01:33:05.890 Nick Antonicello: Can somebody somebody edit that together? I certainly do not have those skills. 800 01:33:05.900 --> 01:33:08.990 Vicki Halliday: I know how to do it, but i'm not offering my time for that. 801 01:33:09.500 --> 01:33:25.540 Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah, exactly. I mean, just listen. There's a lot of stuff that we can do. There's a lot of stuff that we can do. There's a lot of stuff that we need to be targeted about. I think a good start obviously is around events. So, Christina, what is your next event? 802 01:33:25.550 --> 01:33:42.520 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Yeah, We have our meeting coming up to nail down the day we're actually talking about it in the background. So we don't have to set date yet. Um, but it's going to be in the next four to six weeks, so like that would be a great, you know. That would be a great sort of 803 01:33:42.580 --> 01:33:59.009 Sima Kostovetsky: wait to say resiliency has this coming up, and this is what they do like this is who they are, right. And then you guys are just gonna be a blurb something like short and sweet as to who you are, what you want to promote right like you stand for something like that, 804 01:33:59.020 --> 01:34:00.690 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: Each committee Yeah, you know, 805 01:34:00.700 --> 01:34:26.689 Cristina Rodriguez-Greenberg: I think that we we would be a great guinea pig, so to speak, because we have the assets. We have all the material. I think that you know we can test out what you know talking. And ah! During a board meeting a quick spotlight on during the board meeting, and then putting a social like. How much lift is it, you know. And then we kind of reassess as a committee. Okay, we'll work with it at what. 806 01:34:26.700 --> 01:34:43.279 Vicki Halliday: And, Vick, you know. I mean for you guys with home. You know the Homelessness committee. I mean that that's up to you. You know. How much do you want to promote? How much do you want to spotlight on? Do you want that, I think. Yeah, I mean, you know, I think that one of the good things that Jim has done 807 01:34:43.310 --> 01:34:49.819 Vicki Halliday: create that section at the Board meeting of where the committee chairs come on and do a quick little thing, the 808 01:34:50.570 --> 01:34:55.790 Vicki Halliday: and say what's coming up, or just that or the other. I think that that's very good, 809 01:34:55.920 --> 01:35:01.849 Vicki Halliday: you know. I think, that every committee look. There are a lot of meetings when 810 01:35:02.420 --> 01:35:14.710 Vicki Halliday: committees just want to meet. They want to go through a couple of motions that aren't, controversial or anything, and they want to go home. And then there are other times when they're, you know, like a homeless with with Darling or with 811 01:35:14.740 --> 01:35:21.509 Vicki Halliday: Park. Those were big. Um. We probably have Felicia coming back, 812 01:35:21.780 --> 01:35:25.520 Vicki Halliday: because Saint Joseph seems to want to 813 01:35:30.780 --> 01:35:32.269 Vicki Halliday: um, 814 01:35:32.680 --> 01:35:39.089 Vicki Halliday: you know, and I think It just depends on the committee that month. Not everybody has something great every month. 815 01:35:54.570 --> 01:35:57.699 Vicki Halliday: Yeah. Promote the V. And C. Youtube Channel. 816 01:35:58.320 --> 01:36:02.699 Sima Kostovetsky: Well, we have that. I'm. Actually, you know, 817 01:36:06.190 --> 01:36:25.800 Vicki Halliday: I would love to build that up somehow. You know where we have to have content, and I mean our meetings as entertaining as they are. They can't always just be our content, you know. And right now we just have. But I had a zoom video which is great. But like honestly, when I was coming up with this. That's kind of what I thought about like I thought about, 818 01:36:25.850 --> 01:36:34.570 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, resiliency coming on for literally thirty seconds and saying, Hey, this is what we do. This is what we've done, and you can find us at the. 819 01:36:34.580 --> 01:36:48.819 Sima Kostovetsky: And then you know you attach that to that content. Thank you the same thing for homelessness, you know. And then, on something like that, we can attach the Cd eleven Forum, and we can attach the count. You know the county supermarket something like that. I was definitely thinking 820 01:36:48.830 --> 01:36:56.510 Sima Kostovetsky: in terms of social media. So yes, on the like, when they have something coming up, but also like highlighting you personally. 821 01:36:56.680 --> 01:36:58.469 Sima Kostovetsky: That was my idea. 822 01:37:01.720 --> 01:37:02.849 Okay, 823 01:37:02.860 --> 01:37:09.590 Sima Kostovetsky: I'm losing crickets. But let me go to Helen. Helen has her hands raised. I think we're all in agreement, 824 01:37:09.600 --> 01:37:21.549 Sima Kostovetsky: at least to me. And then please like, send me stuff, and we can go out to the public and ask them to send stuff as well. We just have to figure out how we're going to showcase it. 825 01:37:23.100 --> 01:37:34.290 Helen Fallon: I just wanted to comment that i'm really confused. I'm not even really sure what you're doing. As if you said you've got not the opportunity. The committees have the opportunity to say something of the Board meeting. 826 01:37:34.450 --> 01:37:37.450 Helen Fallon: That's the reserve spot for them. They 827 01:37:37.500 --> 01:37:43.070 Helen Fallon: we have. You had a six-hour board meeting last night? No one wants to sit through 828 01:37:43.080 --> 01:38:05.459 Helen Fallon: that one, and there were eighty people there because there were three big controversial issues, you know they usually get that turn out, and maybe I think you can share what the average turnout is, but I don't think it's ever that high. There was a lot of people there for very specific reasons, and no one wanted. I don't think the tolerance level for listening to skills about committees would have worked. I would suggest one. 829 01:38:05.470 --> 01:38:11.820 Helen Fallon: Any pages need to be cleaned up a lot of them. Don't even have the committee members on them, or how to contact anybody 830 01:38:11.830 --> 01:38:17.210 Helen Fallon: and use your web page and use constant contact. You're paying for it every month 831 01:38:17.420 --> 01:38:25.750 Helen Fallon: five thousand emails. Send them out Doesn't cost anything. You're already paid. It's already paid for it's, and ask your 832 01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:42.010 Helen Fallon: once a month. Seymour. Reach out to your chairs and ask them what they're doing to tell you to send something into you. You can't be promoting individuals in the community unless they're working on B and C business. This is not the purpose of the Bnc. Thanks, Helen. Focus. 833 01:38:42.500 --> 01:38:43.790 Angela McGregor: Uh-huh. 834 01:38:47.120 --> 01:38:48.200 Sima Kostovetsky: All right. 835 01:38:50.940 --> 01:38:54.820 Nick Antonicello: I mean Helen makes a very good point. About constant Contact 836 01:38:54.870 --> 01:38:58.919 Nick Antonicello: It doesn't cost us anything to do it. Just the question of 837 01:38:59.180 --> 01:39:00.519 Nick Antonicello: setting the map. 838 01:39:01.400 --> 01:39:11.259 Sima Kostovetsky: Well, of course, so we do that when we have stuff that comes up, I mean, if a committee came up to me and said, Hey, I want you to highlight me 839 01:39:11.380 --> 01:39:13.800 Sima Kostovetsky: in a post. It's not an issue. It's, 840 01:39:14.500 --> 01:39:18.879 Sima Kostovetsky: but usually it's tied into V Andc. Business, or a meeting that we're going to have. 841 01:39:19.620 --> 01:39:22.440 Nick Antonicello: I mean. The point i'm trying to make is is that 842 01:39:23.020 --> 01:39:26.959 Nick Antonicello: with constant contact there there should be some kind of a template? 843 01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:35.630 Nick Antonicello: Has you know those questions like? Well, what is the B and say, Who are the officers? Who are the committees? What do they do, 844 01:39:36.160 --> 01:39:41.239 Nick Antonicello: and you can always use that. It's kind of a backup to sent out to people. Because 845 01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:46.369 Nick Antonicello: if these things don't go out on a regular basis. They'll go out. But you know, 846 01:39:46.470 --> 01:40:04.960 Nick Antonicello: like I'm, a member of Saint Monica's community in Santa Monica. They send out a constant contact email every Friday at two o'clock. It's like you can wind your watch and your repetition and consistency and frequency matters when you're trying to do message. 847 01:40:05.020 --> 01:40:06.080 So 848 01:40:06.380 --> 01:40:09.300 Nick Antonicello: we can just spin on a schedule. 849 01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:24.639 Nick Antonicello: I get that. But here's the issue, and we've always talked about that. I cannot work without other committees coming to me and giving me content. That's just how it works. I can't 850 01:40:24.650 --> 01:40:28.440 Nick Antonicello: you send the blast out there? I would say, putting together the next. 851 01:40:50.110 --> 01:41:04.489 Nick Antonicello: I think the more important thing is, you have constant contact. You have to have a frequency. It has to be repetitive. It has to be memorable, and it has to go out the same time, for, 852 01:41:04.500 --> 01:41:08.790 Nick Antonicello: by the way, it does go out on the Sunday at a particular time, 853 01:41:13.010 --> 01:41:14.080 Sima Kostovetsky: I know 854 01:41:14.910 --> 01:41:16.589 Nick Antonicello: I don't know. I'm i'm telling you 855 01:41:16.600 --> 01:41:27.190 Nick Antonicello: my entire. I literally have a list. Anyway, I have a list of outrage specifically that I mark off. Can we move on, you guys? 856 01:41:27.200 --> 01:41:27.790 Nick Antonicello: Bye, 857 01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:34.089 Nick Antonicello: You know someone who's on the average, you ready walking and anyone doesn't get this stuff. Oh, I'm just letting you know. 858 01:41:34.100 --> 01:41:48.169 Sima Kostovetsky: Okay, I will send you a screenshot. I don't know why you're not getting it. If you will, you can email me. And I have all three of your emails that are inputed in there. Do you all get this when I send them out. 859 01:41:48.180 --> 01:41:50.239 Angela McGregor: I didn't get the last one. 860 01:41:50.250 --> 01:41:51.599 Vicki Halliday: I didn't either. 861 01:41:52.460 --> 01:42:03.250 Vicki Halliday: Vicki, I usually send you a test. I didn't send you a test. But you guys are on the list. I will double-check my wings. I will send you communications, but I didn't get a personal, 862 01:42:03.710 --> 01:42:05.989 Vicki Halliday: and I've always been on the list. 863 01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:08.509 Sima Kostovetsky: I will double check. But 864 01:42:08.830 --> 01:42:15.029 Sima Kostovetsky: there's a specific outreach list that I personally created. Also, you know, for my committee. 865 01:42:15.090 --> 01:42:17.170 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, Okay. 866 01:42:17.420 --> 01:42:27.059 Sima Kostovetsky: Ah, Nick, thank you for the email that went out on Number Eleven for any kind of swag, and B and C. Branded um, because I know that some of the criticism. 867 01:42:29.970 --> 01:42:37.689 Sima Kostovetsky: The clients have been. Wait. When you're out in the community. We don't know that your Vmc. Sometimes. So there was talk of maybe getting 868 01:42:37.700 --> 01:42:58.560 Sima Kostovetsky: hats or hoodies or fleeces. So I sent out an email to the Board to see if they would be interested in something like that. We'd obviously have to get it funded and approved, and the Board would have to to pay for something like that. But it would be a way for us to, you know, when we're at national night out, or when we're at, and then assign lighting, that people know who we are, 869 01:42:58.570 --> 01:43:04.099 Sima Kostovetsky: and the two most popular things that came back were fleeces, 870 01:43:04.440 --> 01:43:07.650 Sima Kostovetsky: hoodie, and uh, like. 871 01:43:10.910 --> 01:43:11.960 So 872 01:43:12.100 --> 01:43:20.379 Sima Kostovetsky: I think that we can table this. It is almost eight thirty, and we have other, much more pertinent things to to 873 01:43:20.900 --> 01:43:38.140 Sima Kostovetsky: to work on um, but I obviously this went out, and I got some comments, so I wanted to run that by you guys. Um, but I I would be into both. I'm happy to price a couple of things out. Um, I think we have an amazing logo. 874 01:43:38.270 --> 01:43:39.929 Sima Kostovetsky: Um, 875 01:43:40.040 --> 01:43:56.070 Sima Kostovetsky: you know, if we had a retreat. We've usually done some sort of branded merchandise for retreats. I don't know how this would work this year with the city and and budgets, but um in the past. We've done Bmc: you know, bags. So, 876 01:43:56.330 --> 01:44:05.090 Sima Kostovetsky: anyway, we thought it was a good idea. I did some research, and the Board, I think, would want that, and if they start to participate in, 877 01:44:05.100 --> 01:44:06.740 Sima Kostovetsky: you know it'd be great 878 01:44:08.690 --> 01:44:10.300 before I open up it. 879 01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:14.099 Sima Kostovetsky: Public comment, any any thoughts, 880 01:44:15.600 --> 01:44:18.730 Nick Antonicello: so you know, in in terms of items, 881 01:44:20.380 --> 01:44:25.299 Nick Antonicello: You know. I mean one of the reasons why I think that we don't have the table. 882 01:44:54.610 --> 01:45:04.250 Nick Antonicello: We have chalk, We have drawing material. So we have that we just don't have people to necessarily staff it 883 01:45:04.320 --> 01:45:06.690 Sima Kostovetsky: for for various reasons. 884 01:45:06.700 --> 01:45:09.159 Nick Antonicello: The rest of the stuff is old and deep. 885 01:45:09.770 --> 01:45:24.300 Sima Kostovetsky: I actually so, Christina, I know that. Anyway, I know that resiliency is going to bring some newer materials. We have actually on my To-do list. I have to go back, 886 01:45:24.950 --> 01:45:30.879 Sima Kostovetsky: and I. I want to work with neighborhood committee to do 887 01:45:31.190 --> 01:45:38.490 Christopher Lee: sort of the the pamphlets and outreach what we're putting out. So i'd like to work with them 888 01:45:38.500 --> 01:45:40.600 Sima Kostovetsky: on that. 889 01:45:41.050 --> 01:45:42.530 Sima Kostovetsky: I let me 890 01:45:42.910 --> 01:45:49.080 Sima Kostovetsky: there anything else? Because I see Helen's hand up and let me let her talk. 891 01:45:50.510 --> 01:45:52.389 Sima Kostovetsky: Alright, Go ahead. That's Helen. 892 01:45:52.400 --> 01:45:58.429 Helen Fallon: Yeah, I think when this came out the swag, the clothing you were going to get in touch with Jay, 893 01:45:58.510 --> 01:46:13.330 Helen Fallon: because my understanding and it's quite clear in the funding guidelines. This is a prohibited expense, buying clothing for anybody, whether it's a board member or member of the public. You just can't do it. So I think you should know 894 01:46:13.480 --> 01:46:30.349 Helen Fallon: it doesn't matter whether the Board members would like this or not, but they don't get it so that for free for Libyan, C. Or subsidized by the Dnc. If you want to have some kind of identifying theme, you get those little vests that are the name of the you know the Bnc's 895 01:46:30.420 --> 01:46:35.990 Helen Fallon: property, but you can't do swag so I don't know why you're spending time with 896 01:46:36.000 --> 01:46:43.229 Helen Fallon: pricing it out, or they're doing it. I mean you said, You're going to talk to Jay, and I think he will tell you exactly what i'm telling you. 897 01:46:43.710 --> 01:46:46.550 Helen Fallon: Thank you for the Budget guidelines. 898 01:46:47.120 --> 01:46:48.720 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you, Helen, 899 01:46:48.820 --> 01:46:50.190 Sima Kostovetsky: and 900 01:46:53.070 --> 01:46:57.880 Sima Kostovetsky: i'm not really sure how the vests are going to be any different than hoodies or fleeces 901 01:47:01.440 --> 01:47:03.679 Helen Fallon: talking safety vessels. 902 01:47:04.000 --> 01:47:09.389 Helen Fallon: That's the kind of V. I'm. Talking about. It's the property of the Vnc. 903 01:47:09.400 --> 01:47:17.500 Helen Fallon: Meaning they're properly. It's kind of valid because we could be something, except no, because we would wear each other's stuff, 904 01:47:17.980 --> 01:47:22.010 Sima Kostovetsky: especially in today's, you know, with some other concerns. 905 01:47:24.330 --> 01:47:26.019 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you, Helen. 906 01:47:26.370 --> 01:47:28.489 Helen Fallon: I'm on the Budget Committee. Don't bring us 907 01:47:28.500 --> 01:47:33.019 Helen Fallon: emotions We can't even consider. You know It's just silly, 908 01:47:33.360 --> 01:47:39.590 Sima Kostovetsky: Ellen. I'm on the Budget Committee with you, and I'm going to ask you not to speak because it's 909 01:47:39.600 --> 01:47:42.759 Helen Fallon: well. Then, you ought to know the funding guidelines. 910 01:47:42.970 --> 01:47:45.840 Okay, Helen, thank you. 911 01:47:47.340 --> 01:47:51.620 Nick Antonicello: All I could say is this: It seems to be a recurring 912 01:47:52.060 --> 01:47:54.090 issue it on these. 913 01:47:54.230 --> 01:47:57.350 Nick Antonicello: I've been involved with the Dmc. For fifteen years. 914 01:47:58.110 --> 01:48:05.040 Nick Antonicello: Okay, I have a shirt from the barbecue. I have a shirt from the 915 01:48:05.420 --> 01:48:09.999 Nick Antonicello: Uh. We did the environmental festivals. Two or three times 916 01:48:10.040 --> 01:48:17.460 Nick Antonicello: we did. We did something at Oak with the Park. There was another event with it. They gave all the volunteers shirt, 917 01:48:17.710 --> 01:48:18.790 Nick Antonicello: you know 918 01:48:19.940 --> 01:48:20.889 I can. 919 01:48:20.900 --> 01:48:23.290 Nick Antonicello: I have them? The other. I 920 01:48:23.300 --> 01:48:24.800 Nick Antonicello: i'm about seven up. 921 01:48:25.030 --> 01:48:26.110 Nick Antonicello: So 922 01:48:26.210 --> 01:48:32.669 Nick Antonicello: you know those have been. Those were approved by the Prior Finance Committee. The 923 01:48:32.820 --> 01:48:37.609 Nick Antonicello: uh you, Harrison, was the treasurer, a good number a year, 924 01:48:37.860 --> 01:48:42.129 Nick Antonicello: so he approved them. I mean, I get it that we just don't want it, 925 01:48:49.210 --> 01:48:51.350 Nick Antonicello: and you know he got this 926 01:48:51.690 --> 01:49:00.519 Nick Antonicello: holiday for a holiday thing by sein hiding arguably the biggest. In fact, in the year last year people came by the table, 927 01:49:00.920 --> 01:49:06.559 Nick Antonicello: I think lights and some candy and some other stuff. I mean. 928 01:49:08.000 --> 01:49:13.989 Vicki Halliday: I want to be parted up the next time we do this, because we keep on having these conversations 929 01:49:14.070 --> 01:49:18.370 Nick Antonicello: that we can't do these things yet. We've been doing them for years, 930 01:49:18.990 --> 01:49:22.480 Nick Antonicello: I mean, we we just saw, I mean, you know. So 931 01:49:22.630 --> 01:49:26.719 Nick Antonicello: let's try to get this button up, maybe having a meeting with the 932 01:49:31.690 --> 01:49:37.780 Nick Antonicello: Are we breaking the rules, or we violate the guidelines is done because we've been doing it. 933 01:49:38.120 --> 01:49:43.590 Nick Antonicello: It's just silly to have this recurring conversation over and over again. 934 01:49:44.820 --> 01:49:53.639 Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you for saying that I'm just, and I said it last night at our meeting about You know other things as Well, there's a way 935 01:49:56.360 --> 01:50:07.590 Nick Antonicello: we try to do good for the community. I really do, and we get mired in in, 936 01:50:13.190 --> 01:50:14.440 Nick Antonicello: you know. Ah, 937 01:50:25.300 --> 01:50:43.749 Nick Antonicello: there's certain things that we that we should be able to do for our neighborhood? 938 01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:47.530 Nick Antonicello: We want to do it this year. Is there a problem? Yes or no? 939 01:50:48.200 --> 01:50:53.469 Nick Antonicello: I mean he the Treasury. He's the one that approved his expenditure and let's just 940 01:50:53.570 --> 01:50:58.519 Nick Antonicello: it was It's fine. I listen. I have always 941 01:50:59.630 --> 01:51:02.610 Sima Kostovetsky: my issue. It's not even an issue. 942 01:51:03.010 --> 01:51:22.249 Sima Kostovetsky: I would just appreciate if we, as coworkers and as peers, were much more respectful to one another, because it does not road well when somebody is schooled or constantly told that they're doing something wrong, especially in a volunteer position, 943 01:51:22.260 --> 01:51:26.869 Sima Kostovetsky: and you might think, or another person might think, that they know more. 944 01:51:26.910 --> 01:51:39.759 Sima Kostovetsky: But there's a way to talk to people, and there's a way to be respectful, and I think that I've always treated all of you with that respect. So I urge all of you to do the same with each other. That's all I have to say. 945 01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:50.039 Nick Antonicello: I'm adjourning the meeting. Um! There's anything that is from the committee comments. 946 01:52:10.800 --> 01:52:13.540 Nick Antonicello: That's that's all i'm saying, I don't think anybody 947 01:52:13.620 --> 01:52:17.600 Nick Antonicello: you know we We don't have to have the police at our meeting. 948 01:52:17.650 --> 01:52:20.469 Nick Antonicello: You know everyone's a volunteer. We will get that. 949 01:52:30.940 --> 01:52:32.410 Nick Antonicello: So you know, 950 01:52:37.610 --> 01:52:40.459 Nick Antonicello: we do have a problem with 951 01:52:40.950 --> 01:52:46.290 Vicki Halliday: I'm just looking at a Google Image page of all the neighborhood councils 952 01:52:46.660 --> 01:52:48.860 Vicki Halliday: in la with t-shirts on. 953 01:52:49.200 --> 01:52:52.329 Nick Antonicello: I see that too. 954 01:52:52.700 --> 01:52:56.490 Vicki Halliday: Well, you know they they've all got neighborhood Council t-shirts 955 01:52:56.500 --> 01:53:17.589 Nick Antonicello: i'm just so tired of being told that we can't do something without actually my job is to your committee. We have this on our agenda. I come back to you, and I tell you what is going on that doesn't mean that we're done It doesn't mean that it doesn't go to J.
