Because then. 27 00:04:28.510 --> 00:04:29.150 yeah. 28 00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:29.960 okay. 29 00:04:36.470 --> 00:04:37.830 jim murez: Paul, can you hear me? 30 00:04:39.570 --> 00:04:41.180 jim murez: You need to unmute Paul. 31 00:04:44.130 --> 00:04:46.370 Paul Davis: No problem. Okay, Good. 32 00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.550 jim murez: Hey, guys, I can't hear Joe. I mean, his mouth moves every so often, but I can't hear him. 33 00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:07.980 Paul Davis: He's probably coming on any minute here. No, he's already on Well, I see him being on. But i'm saying on in terms of video, or, you know, sound. His mouth right now is moving, but nothing's coming out out through the microphone, although he's not muted all right. Well interesting. I'm sure he must be aware that he has to work on that. 34 00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:16.239 jim murez: I don't know. So there's a selection, Joe, where you can select which microphone, maybe, if you have more than one microphone down on the bottom. 35 00:05:16.310 --> 00:05:19.650 jim murez: where it shows a little picture of the icon of the microphone 36 00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:21.669 jim murez: at the bottom of the screen. 37 00:05:23.700 --> 00:05:38.999 jim murez: There's a picture. I I can see your mouth moving, but you got to move your mouse over that picture of the microphone, and just to the right of the microphone there's a a little up arrow. If you click on little Up arrow it allows you to select different microphones. Maybe 38 00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:44.539 jim murez: Paul is manush on your committee or this guy. John. 39 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:52.150 Hmm. 40 00:06:04.940 --> 00:06:08.000 Paul Davis: I'm.

Try. Try. Try one and then speak, and i'll tell you if anything comes out. And then if that one doesn't work, try the other one. 47 00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:48.700 jim murez: No change 48 00:06:50.650 --> 00:06:53.150 jim murez: there that worked. 49 00:06:53.520 --> 00:06:56.270 Joseph Murphy: Okay.

So everybody's there. And now I have to go in and i'll make Who's gonna be host of this meeting, Joe or Paul, who you? You said you had to leave early.

I think you did. You had a plan that involved having a quorum, so that i'm guess that's kind of a key thing coming up here. Huh! 106 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:05.200 Joseph Murphy: I'm digging up the agenda hang on 107 00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:06.360 Paul Davis: very fair. 108 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.430 Joseph Murphy: Okay. First item on the agenda 109 00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:16.970 Joseph Murphy: is 110 00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:21.279 Joseph Murphy: call to order approval of agenda. So 111 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:26.139 Joseph Murphy: is there any objection to the agenda that we sent out 112 00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:29.710 Joseph Murphy: hearing that must assume that it's approved. 113 00:12:29.870 --> 00:12:31.379 Paul Davis: Yeah, I think we're good 114 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.060 Joseph Murphy: and introductions and ask them public account. Public comment on items, not on the agenda. 115 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.839 Joseph Murphy: Are there any public comment on items that are not on the agenda? 116 00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:53.160 Paul Davis: Well, Joe, you I mentioned to you that that woman, Sonya young himenez, who's the Director of Parks and Recreation of parks in our district, did get back in touch with me, and 117 00:12:53.270 --> 00:13:04.149 Paul Davis: has said a Happy New Year. Hope you had a great holiday just following up on a meeting to discuss your group in some ways to collaborate looking forward to hearing from you. So she said that to you and me and John and Joel 118 00:13:04.490 --> 00:13:09.740 Paul Davis: the the the greatly lamented late you Well, so so we we got our we got a 119 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:25.059 Paul Davis: We need to run with that one, get back with their unsettled appointment. I think so. So with your guys support, I will write her tonight, and just let her know that we're very keen To see her would love to arrange something and what it what kind of scheduling would we want to do with her? I mean what's what's her schedule? 120 00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:26.370 Joseph Murphy: Okay. 121 00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:45.479 Paul Davis: I think I mean any or all of us could go to that meeting, and I think at at minimum would be great to have you there if you can do it, John. She's right near my office, because she's over Rancho Park, so I can go there pretty much any time. I think Joe's pretty flexible. So I might imagine, John, that your availability would be a key determinant of that, because I think of you as a parks effort, spearheader. 122 00:13:45.610 --> 00:13:47.350 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: to that. Join as well. 123 00:13:47.390 --> 00:13:48.659 Paul Davis: of course, manage. 124 00:13:49.300 --> 00:13:52.579 Joseph Murphy: I should be 125 00:13:52.770 --> 00:13:54.310 Joseph Murphy: face to face meeting. 126 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.719 Paul Davis: I think so. Yeah. 127 00:13:55.890 --> 00:13:56.970 John Palka: I like that. 128 00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:18.159 John Palka: That'd be good. Why, don't you run with that, Paul? See what dates are available.

The reason why I joined this meeting today is because of walkability. 141 00:15:07.660 --> 00:15:11.670 Sean Obrien: I'm talking about in. This is not my neighborhood. 142 00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:15.279 Sean Obrien: I live, Jason, to the Venice canals. 143 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:23.259 Sean Obrien: but we have walkability issues on the Venice corridor or Sorry, the Lincoln Corridor. 144 00:15:23.290 --> 00:15:28.770 Sean Obrien: and it's my understanding that the city 145 00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:29.810 Sean Obrien: is 146 00:15:29.850 --> 00:15:32.180 promoting density. 147 00:15:32.310 --> 00:15:33.700 Sean Obrien: which will. 148 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.289 Sean Obrien: they will have all the 149 00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:43.110 Sean Obrien: what do you call it? All? All these are all all the things for the the developers. 150 00:15:43.210 --> 00:15:46.130 Sean Obrien: You know they all have the density bonuses. 151 00:15:46.180 --> 00:15:49.509 Sean Obrien: They all the part, the the 152 00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:50.790 Sean Obrien: the 153 00:15:50.990 --> 00:15:58.640 Sean Obrien: non parking restrictions. I I like to call them non parking restrictions instead of parking 154 00:15:58.700 --> 00:16:00.200 Sean Obrien: density. 155 00:16:00.390 --> 00:16:01.220 Sean Obrien: And 156 00:16:01.410 --> 00:16:02.440 Sean Obrien: and 157 00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:05.060 Sean Obrien: it's my understanding that 158 00:16:05.140 --> 00:16:08.019 Sean Obrien: they want. And I understand it's fine 159 00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:12.080 Sean Obrien: that you know we have to like create density. 160 00:16:12.210 --> 00:16:13.030 Sean Obrien: And 161 00:16:13.140 --> 00:16:17.609 Sean Obrien: these, you know, instead of like Venice neighborhood. 162 00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:24.550 Sean Obrien: like like problems, you know, creating density. They're like looking to the lining corridor. 163 00:16:24.670 --> 00:16:33.839 Sean Obrien: So again, it's my understanding. They want to go up to 75 feet tall along the Lincoln corridor 164 00:16:33.950 --> 00:16:37.730 Sean Obrien: to accommodate 6 stories high. 165 00:16:37.750 --> 00:16:38.600 Paul Davis: and 166 00:16:38.670 --> 00:16:45.229 Sean Obrien: I'm. I'm. In favor of 5 stories, but that's not the reason why i'm here and and talking to you. 167 00:16:45.430 --> 00:16:47.600 Sean Obrien: This is our best 168 00:16:47.710 --> 00:16:49.540 Sean Obrien: and only 169 00:16:49.730 --> 00:16:50.800 Sean Obrien: way 170 00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:53.539 Sean Obrien: to get rid of those. 171 00:16:55.130 --> 00:16:57.910 Sean Obrien: What do you call the telephone polls. 172 00:16:58.430 --> 00:17:06.889 Sean Obrien: Yeah, the electrical lines that that at the border of Venice Boulevard and continues south. 173 00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:13.289 Sean Obrien: So i'm, i'm not. I'm asking you guys to create the conversation. 174 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.140 Sean Obrien: whether it's a partnership with the city. 175 00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:19.890 Sean Obrien: It's my understanding that 176 00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:24.819 Sean Obrien: the city is Gwp. Has already been allocated funds 177 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.799 Sean Obrien: to bury the lines. 178 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:29.550 Sean Obrien: but they choose not to do it 179 00:17:29.630 --> 00:17:36.309 Sean Obrien: because it was exempted through a legislation 180 00:17:36.370 --> 00:17:38.070 ordnance. 181 00:17:38.170 --> 00:17:44.270 Sean Obrien: So the money's been there for decades since since the nineties. 182 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:51.570 Sean Obrien: But this is our last and final chance. We will not have another opportunity 183 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.200 Sean Obrien: unless we 184 00:17:53.670 --> 00:18:01.320 Sean Obrien: let let the city know that we want these lines buried from Navy Street, going south 185 00:18:01.470 --> 00:18:04.750 Sean Obrien: to I don't know through the marina. 186 00:18:04.970 --> 00:18:06.970 Sean Obrien: and I think 187 00:18:07.060 --> 00:18:08.970 Sean Obrien: it's a fair. 188 00:18:09.290 --> 00:18:12.870 Sean Obrien: Oh, it's a fair request. 189 00:18:13.070 --> 00:18:14.220 Sean Obrien: Oh. 190 00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:15.950 Sean Obrien: being that 191 00:18:17.510 --> 00:18:25.849 Sean Obrien: usually on these like block long, or these these huge developments. There's a community benefit agreement. 192 00:18:26.050 --> 00:18:30.349 Sean Obrien: There will be no benefit for for the community. 193 00:18:32.690 --> 00:18:41.300 Sean Obrien: You know they're getting parking restrictions, and they're getting density bonuses. They're getting bonuses, bonuses. So 194 00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:45.720 Joseph Murphy: are Are you willing to prepare a motion that we can consider? 195 00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:51.289 Paul Davis: Yeah, that you know, Brian, what what? 196 00:18:51.720 --> 00:19:09.359 Paul Davis: But Joe's talking about Shawn, is it often what we do is is if we, if we kind of take up an issue, we do that in the format of offering a motion that we've approved amongst ourselves to the B and C board as something that they ought to be paying attention to or or support our collective action on. So 197 00:19:09.370 --> 00:19:22.409 Paul Davis: I think Joe's point is that if you had supporting material and the ability to kind of summarize your interest in this, it could be something you would pass along to us. We chat about it a little more, and maybe put it together as something that we more formally suggest to the board. 198 00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:32.139 Sean Obrien: I I appreciate that. I've never drafted a motion. I I i'm a 30 year Venice resident. 199 00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:35.990 Sean Obrien: I will. I will try. 200 00:19:36.470 --> 00:19:40.579 Joseph Murphy: Oh, that's all you can do is try. 201 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.120 Sean Obrien: Well, we can. 202 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:47.189 Sean Obrien: And I'm here today just to 203 00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:55.019 Sean Obrien: create a a forum or whatever to start, start like talking about a conversation. 204 00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:57.060 Sean Obrien: You understand what i'm saying 205 00:19:57.290 --> 00:19:58.349 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: that you guys. 206 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.719 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: I think the I mean the removal of the 207 00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:08.290 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: the telephone polls are the power polls sounds very interesting, but Aren't, you talking about 208 00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:16.109 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: the development of only 1 one building or a block of buildings? I mean they're not doing the whole of Lincoln Boulevard. Are they, Shawn? 209 00:20:16.190 --> 00:20:23.959 Sean Obrien: Well, no. Eventually the whole of Lincoln Boulevard will be included, and it's. 210 00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:31.040 Sean Obrien: I want to call it another land grab by the city to create the density. 211 00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:41.239 Sean Obrien: you know, as as you know, the State that is mandated, that we have to create more density, and 212 00:20:41.310 --> 00:20:44.660 Sean Obrien: Venice is so small. 213 00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:58.610 Sean Obrien: and the only really, you know we got Washington Boulevard. We got Venice Boulevard. But though the main, the main focus will be on Lincoln Boulevard 214 00:20:58.740 --> 00:21:03.420 Sean Obrien: to create that density. Now, here's here's the interesting thing 215 00:21:03.840 --> 00:21:06.570 Sean Obrien: east east of Lincoln Boulevard. 216 00:21:07.030 --> 00:21:10.259 Sean Obrien: It does not include Coastal commission 217 00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:13.410 Sean Obrien: requirements. 218 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:18.200 Sean Obrien: so everything everything west of Lincoln Boulevard 219 00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:21.930 we'll have to go through coastal review. 220 00:21:22.090 --> 00:21:27.680 Sean Obrien: So that is why this is like a huge like target. 221 00:21:28.170 --> 00:21:36.389 Sean Obrien: Because, you know, there's no Coastal Commission review, whereas anything along what do you call it? A Venice 222 00:21:36.470 --> 00:21:43.529 Sean Obrien: link, Venice, Rose and Washington Boulevard. All those boulevards will be 223 00:21:43.590 --> 00:21:49.699 Sean Obrien: required through coastal commission, and we all know that takes years, you know. 224 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:56.359 Sean Obrien: So it's a prime target is this Lincoln corridor. 225 00:21:56.390 --> 00:21:57.330 Sean Obrien: and 226 00:21:57.460 --> 00:21:58.430 Sean Obrien: you know. 227 00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:00.789 Sean Obrien: as a Venice 228 00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:04.519 Sean Obrien: resident for decades. 229 00:22:04.810 --> 00:22:07.070 Sean Obrien: I watch how 230 00:22:07.390 --> 00:22:09.159 Sean Obrien: you know 231 00:22:10.450 --> 00:22:13.239 Sean Obrien: Santa Monica buried their lines. 232 00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:19.960 Sean Obrien: and then you know, and and you gotta you also guys gotta remember there's a whole new 233 00:22:20.110 --> 00:22:22.820 Sean Obrien: like thing going on with. 234 00:22:22.990 --> 00:22:24.600 Sean Obrien: We're changing 235 00:22:24.670 --> 00:22:37.879 Sean Obrien: the lanes, the parking and whatnot along Lincoln Boulevard, whether it's fast transit and creating bus lanes there's a lot of talk about. 236 00:22:37.910 --> 00:22:39.080 Sean Obrien: Oh. 237 00:22:39.110 --> 00:22:40.530 putting 238 00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:49.310 Joseph Murphy: we we have to go on with the meeting. But the idea you're raising is an important one. 239 00:22:49.450 --> 00:23:01.709 Joseph Murphy: and walkability is definitely one of our vision goals that we have as part of our mission statement. The question is how to come up with something that we can consider and adopt. 240 00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:03.380 Joseph Murphy: So 241 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.009 Joseph Murphy: I you know I don't have your name or your telephone number. 242 00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:19.430 Sean Obrien: Oh, oh, Joe, i'm sean O'brien, I I live right next door to Frank Murphy's place over there on South Venice. Well, Joe, you know me, brother. 243 00:23:19.910 --> 00:23:20.800 Joseph Murphy: Well, huh? 244 00:23:20.870 --> 00:23:35.219 Paul Davis: Okay, hey? Hey? So, Shawn, let let's just make sure that we know how to get in touch with you. We'd love to see you at more meetings, and we'd love to get information from you about the things you're talking about, so we can just, you know, kind of try to do something with it all. So how about if you stay in touch, and we are certainly glad you came tonight. 245 00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:40.649 Sean Obrien: He thank you so much, and through Frank I will reach Joe. 246 00:23:40.710 --> 00:24:10.700 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: Yeah, I just want. I also want to say thank you very much, Shaun, for raising this. I think that we all find it of interest, and it would be very helpful. The the wording we can help you with the motion, but also any research you could do to kind of find out like, maybe what Santa Monica, or what other places might have done to help get this under. To get similar effort underway could be helpful, really helpful to us or info about why, why and how the dwp has been managing to kind of avoid their opportunity to make the changes. 247 00:24:10.710 --> 00:24:23.170 Joseph Murphy: and I think anything we can get from you would be great. I appreciate it, guys. Thank you. And you guys got to remember it's all dollars. It's all money. Well. 248 00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:26.489 Joseph Murphy: to Frank's office. There. I know who you are. 249 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.839 Paul Davis: all right. So so, Joe, I have a question for you. 250 00:24:30.210 --> 00:24:41.039 Joseph Murphy: Oh, well, is there? Is there a certain thing or things that you thought we might do as a group in terms of our quorum, and and you know, making anything in particular happen, because I I probably have another. 251 00:24:41.490 --> 00:24:47.450 Paul Davis: you know. 8 min to be with a gang before I must check out and go to another thing. Unfortunately, question for me. 252 00:24:47.710 --> 00:24:52.159 Paul Davis: Yes. Is there anything you want us to do with our quorum in particular. Well, I'm here. 253 00:24:52.540 --> 00:25:01.350 Joseph Murphy: Now let's let's worry about that later, because well, we have. We have a quarter of 3 out of 5. Now. 254 00:25:01.520 --> 00:25:04.130 Joseph Murphy: Yeah, Well, we have a form. We have 255 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:11.199 Joseph Murphy: more than we. We have a maximum. We have the entire committee. 256 00:25:12.070 --> 00:25:13.240 Joseph Murphy: So 257 00:25:14.610 --> 00:25:17.690 Joseph Murphy: is it. Okay with you, Shawn, if we leave it at that for now. 258 00:25:18.150 --> 00:25:31.049 Sean Obrien: Yes, actually, I do have a meeting to go to. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Please come back. Thanks for raising that issue. 259 00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:34.229 Joseph Murphy: Okay. So 260 00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:37.870 Joseph Murphy: next item is discussion. 261 00:25:39.170 --> 00:25:40.909 Joseph Murphy: And this is for 262 00:25:43.330 --> 00:25:46.870 John Palka: well, I think it's on items, not on the agenda. 263 00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:49.500 Joseph Murphy: Okay. 264 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.779 Joseph Murphy: Is there anybody that is there any discussion you wish to 265 00:25:57.130 --> 00:25:59.900 Joseph Murphy: to come up with now on 266 00:26:00.190 --> 00:26:01.989 Joseph Murphy: the 267 00:26:02.470 --> 00:26:03.579 Paul Davis: the part stuff? 268 00:26:04.610 --> 00:26:21.370 John Palka: Yeah, I've got a couple of things. First of all, thank you, Paul, for in in advance for contacting, making that contact, pursuing it, and hopefully, we'll be able to have a face to face with that parks lady. That would be a great step forward. Second of all we have. 269 00:26:21.650 --> 00:26:40.090 John Palka: we finally have set a date for the opening up of the the playground. At first Lutheran 8, 15, Venice Boulevard, and that's gonna be starting February eighteenth from every every Saturday, from 10 am to noon 270 00:26:40.100 --> 00:26:51.639 John Palka: the courtyard will be open, and the playground will be open, and so we've got. We've got it staffed with volunteers. 271 00:26:51.650 --> 00:27:14.109 John Palka: We've got a training regiment plans as well as you know. Anyway, we're well prepared for the opening, so I just want to let everyone know that that that is under the way, and and next week i'm going to be re trying to make another effort to to contact the principles of our, to look of our local elementary schools to to let them know and see if they want to promote it in any way. 272 00:27:14.380 --> 00:27:31.770 Paul Davis: John, if I may interrupt very briefly, I think we deserve a. We use them a round of applause, because this is something that you've dreamed of and pushed on now. And the fact that it's gonna actually happen is wonderful. I mean, you're you're basically saying that you have. And the Lutheran Church have created a new public space for a couple of hours a week, which is an amazing thing. So I I 273 00:27:31.780 --> 00:27:34.960 Paul Davis: I applaud your effort. Thank you. 274 00:27:35.150 --> 00:27:44.849 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: Yeah, I and I I do, too. And also i'm gung ho about promoting this and supporting it in every way through Venice Mom, through a website. 275 00:27:44.860 --> 00:28:14.849 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: through, you know, on next door. And then also, you know, through our Facebook and email groups. So I will be in touch. I think you sent me an email that i'm sorry I neglected to respond to a while back, but I look forward to being in touch, and it was actually my wife, and her name is Missy. Her name's Melissa, but most of caller, Missy. The email was from my wife, Missy, she was just looking to contact. You start a dialogue to see because we're put it. Anyway, she had some questions. 276 00:28:14.860 --> 00:28:26.249 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: Oh, I see it. Okay, I see it. Let me get in touch. Yeah, because also I think it could be good, you know, if if she, if you guys felt like it like, let's say Venice Mom's logo 277 00:28:26.260 --> 00:28:52.809 John Palka: was on as a supporter. It could make it seem a little less religious than when you say first go through in church, and that's exactly what we want, and you know it is. It is simply an opportunity to open up an existing playground space to the community that love that I think it's beautiful so great, John, I love to volunteer so, but i'll contact you separately. But you you could count on me showing up there from at least from time to time, and hanging out 278 00:28:52.820 --> 00:28:54.539 John Palka: All right. Good. 279 00:28:54.770 --> 00:29:22.550 John Palka: So, Jan, you said it's open on Saturdays from certain time to a certain time from 10 to noon before 10 a week I missed it. I went around to the different playgrounds in Venice, and we noticed that before 100'clock on Saturdays families aren't there. They're sleeping late on Saturday, but after 100'clock, from 10 to like 20'clock was really a prime time when the parks were filled with a bunch of young families, and we're just starting out with 2 h, and 280 00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:40.400 John Palka: you know, if everything goes well, maybe we'll hopefully. We'll be able to expand that. 281 00:29:40.410 --> 00:29:44.739 John Palka: So your your your words of encouragement, were very helpful. 282 00:29:45.030 --> 00:29:46.000 Paul Davis: fantastic. 283 00:29:46.580 --> 00:29:48.209 Joseph Murphy: Thank you. Yep. 284 00:29:48.350 --> 00:29:50.939 Joseph Murphy: So is there anything else people want to talk about? 285 00:29:51.930 --> 00:29:53.260 Paul Davis: I'm all set. 286 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.549 Joseph Murphy: If not, then I know Paul has something else to do so. 287 00:29:58.560 --> 00:30:10.850 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: and we have to close down by 6 30, anyway 288 00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:24.269 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: from you know. I know that John has the same, you know. Campus shares the campus, but I wonder if there would be anyone else who might be from Clara Fontaine who might want to participate in our group. 289 00:30:24.530 --> 00:30:28.970 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: Or maybe, you know, Joel was also in charge of, I think, wasn't she, in terms of 290 00:30:29.340 --> 00:30:33.559 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: like education, something with the Venice Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if there's 291 00:30:33.830 --> 00:30:43.069 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: I? I wonder if there's anyone else that might like to kind of step up to represent some of those areas that she was so involved with. Of course no one can replace her. But 292 00:30:43.230 --> 00:30:43.880 hmm. 293 00:30:44.120 --> 00:31:00.790 John Palka: well, I know her daughter Gwendolen has taken over as the director. My suggestion is that my thought is that she may be interested in something like that, but not right now. 294 00:31:00.800 --> 00:31:09.069 John Palka: You know it's a little overwhelming trying to step into the big shoes of of of you know, of of her mom. And so she's just getting 295 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:16.779 John Palka: it. Would it would not be the right time. But yeah, I I was kind of a suspecting that myself. Yeah. 296 00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:25.550 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: Well, maybe we could, if you're in touch with your well, of course you're in touch with there. Maybe you could just say that you know how how integral 297 00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:34.950 Regan (REEgan) Kibbee: as well was to our group, and how it you know that there's always. We have always have a warm welcome if she, you know, when she's ready. 298 00:31:35.070 --> 00:31:37.699 John Palka: And and we say, mother, several times a week. 299 00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:39.700 Joseph Murphy: Great 300 00:31:40.990 --> 00:31:42.170 John Palka: good suggestion. 301 00:31:42.820 --> 00:31:44.410 Joseph Murphy: Okay. Anything else here. 302 00:31:46.770 --> 00:31:50.639 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: If not, then we can. Let me ask a quick question. 303 00:31:50.860 --> 00:31:54.590 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: Sure about the the Park.

I've been wanting to work on it some more, but I wasn't sure if everybody reviewed it I liked it. I was wondering it is more rendering done, and so on. 305 00:32:05.570 --> 00:32:19.029 John Palka: Yeah, I thought it was a good step forward, and I I have not. I've hesitated to really move forward with it until we have this live face to face with the La Parks lady, because she 306 00:32:19.150 --> 00:32:20.050 Paul Davis: yeah. 307 00:32:20.070 --> 00:32:30.170 John Palka: I think she's gonna she's gonna grow out. She's gonna give us a good grounding. So that, and and let us know what is realistic and unrealistic. 308 00:32:30.190 --> 00:32:33.689 Paul Davis: I think that makes a lot of sense, John. It's great good idea. 309 00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:39.510 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: and the as far as the financing is concerned. They will also. Who is the lady that 310 00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:40.800 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: from 311 00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:52.160 Paul Davis: she's her name is Sonia himenez Sonya, young him, and as and she is, as I understand it, she's headquartered over at Rancho Park, and she's the director of Parks and R. In our area, the city 312 00:32:53.650 --> 00:32:57.399 Paul Davis: kind of the Super, the superintendent for parks and rack in this part of town. 313 00:32:57.450 --> 00:32:59.450 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: and they 314 00:32:59.930 --> 00:33:04.320 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: kind of approved for financial situations, and so on right cost. 315 00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:08.049 Mehrnoosh Mojallali: I think she's going to be on top of all that stuff.
