Does anyone? Some of these things are going to fold into the topics that are on the agenda. So I won't repeat. But does anyone have anything to report on any of the things that we've done in the past? 65 00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:37.210 Daffodil Tyminski: Has anyone 66 00:07:38.030 --> 00:07:40.090 Daffodil Tyminski: having discussions or 67 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.950 Daffodil Tyminski: seen some progress. 68 00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:47.200 Daffodil Tyminski: So raise your hand. 69 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.350 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Seeing no hands, we will move on. 70 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:57.749 Daffodil Tyminski: I I actually, before we do, let me just address 2 things very quickly. Street cleaning. 71 00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:02.369 Daffodil Tyminski: I had been something Chuck was working on. It appears 72 00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:04.110 Daffodil Tyminski: that 73 00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:11.810 Daffodil Tyminski: that is back going in a lot of neighborhoods. I don't know if everyone's having the same experiences as we are. 74 00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:16.099 But if this is something we still need to address. 75 00:08:16.340 --> 00:08:21.340 Daffodil Tyminski: I do believe we can bring it up with the Council Office. So if we, you think we do let me know. 76 00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:23.810 Jeremy Loeb: This is street cleaning You're referring to 77 00:08:24.030 --> 00:08:26.639 Jeremy Loeb: what is the what was the issue. 78 00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:39.420 Daffodil Tyminski: It's just yeah that it wasn't happening at all. And then we had it on a previous agenda, I think twice, and then, just as we were about to make a motion to have the Council Office kick in. 79 00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:44.349 Daffodil Tyminski: and you know, started. They started doing it again. 80 00:08:44.990 --> 00:08:53.509 felicia saltzbart: and this sounds like a silly question. But is there somewhere online? We could ascertain which streets are cleaned on which days 81 00:08:54.190 --> 00:09:02.149 felicia saltzbart: Is that something that exists? 82 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.250 felicia saltzbart: I'm just wondering 83 00:09:04.890 --> 00:09:13.709 felicia saltzbart: cause some of the people I speak with are outside of my immediate neighborhood, so to be able to let them know so they can keep an eye out. I don't know. Just 84 00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:14.760 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 85 00:09:17.300 --> 00:09:18.090 felicia saltzbart: thanks. 86 00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:20.869 You're welcome. I will ask 87 00:09:22.310 --> 00:09:26.999 Daffodil Tyminski: a good question. I don't know. There obviously is a schedule. It's got to be right. 88 00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:31.370 Daffodil Tyminski: I just don't know who's I I would imagine it's 89 00:09:31.910 --> 00:09:36.790 Daffodil Tyminski: Department of Sanitation or department you the streets. But I will ask the Council Office. 90 00:09:39.530 --> 00:09:42.439 Daffodil Tyminski: Fema is something else we talked about. 91 00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:46.959 Daffodil Tyminski: This is really been an issue that Yolanda brought up. 92 00:09:47.030 --> 00:09:49.569 Daffodil Tyminski: and just to remind everyone. 93 00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:55.170 Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, here's Chuck, By the way, here I can read it. Hold on 1 s. 94 00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:09.899 Okay. So we have Rita and Shock. 95 00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:13.890 Daffodil Tyminski: I'm: trying to promote you to panelists. 96 00:10:16.430 --> 00:10:17.330 Daffodil Tyminski: and we have 97 00:10:17.750 --> 00:10:20.559 Daffodil Tyminski: just 2 hands raised. 98 00:10:20.890 --> 00:10:24.009 Daffodil Tyminski: Phone Number 6, 9, 0 and call and user 2. 99 00:10:28.130 --> 00:10:31.970 Daffodil Tyminski: Do you all are, or any of you, Cassie or Yawanda? 100 00:10:33.950 --> 00:10:49.509 Call-In User_2: Good morning. I'm a stakeholder. I just wanted to make a comment regarding street sweeping the lost city of Los Angeles website. La City, Gov. Has information for street sweeping. You can input your street address, and it will tell you the days of 101 00:10:49.590 --> 00:10:58.649 sweeping, and you can also put in a request, and they will send you notification when your street is scheduled to be cleaned. Thank you. 102 00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:01.840 Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you very much. That's great information. 103 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:03.370 Jeremy Loeb: Super helpful. 104 00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:04.080 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. 105 00:11:04.520 --> 00:11:06.180 Daffodil Tyminski: L: a city duck of. 106 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.430 Daffodil Tyminski: And 107 00:11:09.400 --> 00:11:13.669 Daffodil Tyminski: was that call in user. 2 or 6, 9 0, 108 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.350 Daffodil Tyminski: or I guess whoever didn't speak if I was. That was the phone number. 109 00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:20.949 Daffodil Tyminski: That was the phone number. Okay, calling us to you, you can. 110 00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:25.600 Jeremy Loeb: Oh, no, i'm sorry. That was call. That was call. And user. Too, that that's okay. 111 00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:33.280 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay? Well, we'll see if the person with the phone number ending in 6, 9 0 comes back in 112 00:11:35.260 --> 00:11:39.780 Daffodil Tyminski: Fema is another topic that we discussed previously. 113 00:11:39.990 --> 00:11:45.650 Daffodil Tyminski: And for those of you that Don't know, this is more of a west of Lincoln issue. But 114 00:11:46.030 --> 00:11:48.500 Daffodil Tyminski: the city, working with 115 00:11:50.100 --> 00:12:01.849 Daffodil Tyminski: the Federal government, designated much of west of Lincoln and Venice a flood zone which will impact residents because they'll require people to maintain flood insurance, which is fairly costly. 116 00:12:02.730 --> 00:12:04.170 Daffodil Tyminski: Interestingly. 117 00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:08.900 Call-In User_2: yeah. 118 00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:12.000 a little piece of 119 00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:23.230 Daffodil Tyminski: sorry. I'm a meeting. Whoever was talking there interestingly. When they did this, they carved out right in the middle of the flood zone. The median 120 00:12:23.520 --> 00:12:25.609 Daffodil Tyminski: where the medium project is. 121 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:32.200 Daffodil Tyminski: So I know Chuck knows this probably better than anyone, but there's been some challenges to that project partially based on Fema. 122 00:12:33.130 --> 00:12:37.689 Daffodil Tyminski: We've been working with various people trying to get 123 00:12:37.730 --> 00:12:47.540 Daffodil Tyminski: then to revisit, designating all of Venice as a flood zone, and I think that's just a long time work in progress. And now that we have a Council office, that I think is more receptive 124 00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:53.320 Daffodil Tyminski: to engaging with us. We may make some headway there, because obviously, whatever map was drawn. 125 00:12:53.560 --> 00:13:00.399 Daffodil Tyminski: whether you're for the project or not, it's just ridiculous that the absolute lowest point in Venice is not a flood zone, but all these other places are 126 00:13:00.770 --> 00:13:11.460 Daffodil Tyminski: so. This is something that we'll just continue to update on. I don't have anything at the moment. I know the Council Office has been getting so many requests for so many different things, and this is a bit of a tricky issue 127 00:13:13.770 --> 00:13:24.450 Daffodil Tyminski: likewise is pickable. I don't have much to report on that, but we have. We keep getting requests for it, so you know we'll see if there is a spot for that. 128 00:13:26.520 --> 00:13:31.980 Daffodil Tyminski: Let's go down to sidewalks. And and actually Felicia signs. 129 00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:37.580 Daffodil Tyminski: I spoke to the Council office, and I think we are going to be able to get signs through them. 130 00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:38.990 felicia saltzbart: Awesome. 131 00:13:39.010 --> 00:13:43.089 felicia saltzbart: Okay. So yeah. So if anyone 132 00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:46.790 Daffodil Tyminski: feels that they need a sign in their area. 133 00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:48.349 felicia saltzbart: please email me. 134 00:13:48.890 --> 00:13:55.099 Daffodil Tyminski: And then, Felicia, I can just work with you. I know you were the most concerned about it, so we can work together, offline. 135 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.710 Daffodil Tyminski: and 136 00:13:57.530 --> 00:14:01.190 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, figure out what what is needed and how we get it. 137 00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:02.400 felicia saltzbart: Okay. 138 00:14:02.810 --> 00:14:04.319 William. 139 00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:11.979 William Wood: Yeah, no. Are these like the signs that we had talked about that? You know they were gonna get funding for to try to ask funding for like 140 00:14:12.410 --> 00:14:13.709 William Wood: it tells you where 141 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.190 William Wood: you know some like 142 00:14:15.390 --> 00:14:16.400 William Wood: the 143 00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:23.899 William Wood: places you know. I mean, i'm. I'm just thinking the one like by the car wash on Lincoln that used to point, you know, to 144 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:39.089 Daffodil Tyminski: and say, been a speech, and you know, like one mile that way those those type of signs. 145 00:14:39.260 --> 00:14:45.790 Daffodil Tyminski: traffic, and in some places more markers. So I i'm i'm. Including the the general universe of signs. 146 00:14:45.890 --> 00:14:49.500 Daffodil Tyminski: and before under with Bonn. 147 00:14:49.560 --> 00:15:00.040 Daffodil Tyminski: The Council office just was not receptive to giving us any funding for things like this, and so I thought we could do it through one of the Grants through the Neighborhood Council system. The Community improvement grants 148 00:15:00.210 --> 00:15:03.430 Daffodil Tyminski: right, which, like a year ago, we looked at and applied for. 149 00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:12.969 Daffodil Tyminski: But the Neighborhood Council, like overseeing office, said no, that they didn't think it was an appropriate type of project 150 00:15:13.260 --> 00:15:16.900 Daffodil Tyminski: in the past. The Council Office had funded signs. 151 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:24.539 Daffodil Tyminski: so now that we have a new Council person. I went back to the Council office, and I think they're willing to work with us and get us some funding for it. 152 00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:36.330 Daffodil Tyminski: So I would say, let's. Let's make a list of all the different types of signs we think that are needed, and where and then we can see what what is easy to do and what isn't 153 00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:44.489 Daffodil Tyminski: some, and the reason why I say that is, there may be some issues in some places about using other departments 154 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.119 Daffodil Tyminski: right like William, the spot you're talking about. 155 00:15:48.430 --> 00:15:55.690 Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know which agency actually constructed that as a department of transportation as a department of streets, or whatever. 156 00:15:56.260 --> 00:15:59.270 Daffodil Tyminski: Some of them are going to be a little easier because they're not. 157 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.100 Daffodil Tyminski: They don't affect much like. For example, the slow children at play sign 158 00:16:03.290 --> 00:16:11.939 Daffodil Tyminski: probably is a little easier just to put on with something else. But there may be traffic reasons why they are directing people down different street. Certain ways. Does that make sense? 159 00:16:12.070 --> 00:16:18.299 Daffodil Tyminski: Yes, yes, thank you. 160 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.519 Daffodil Tyminski: You know. Are there places that you need to sign? You know the or it could be anything that you think. 161 00:16:23.670 --> 00:16:27.890 Daffodil Tyminski: And I would say, let's just start somewhere, and then we can build on it as we go 162 00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:33.729 Daffodil Tyminski: and just email me the requests. And it'd be helpful 163 00:16:34.150 --> 00:16:36.829 Daffodil Tyminski: if you could give me an exact location. 164 00:16:39.850 --> 00:16:44.559 Daffodil Tyminski: And actually, if you could email me, do it to vp@venicenc.org. 165 00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:52.610 Daffodil Tyminski: So this way it stays with the Vp. Account, and Whoever's Vp. Next still has the legacy information in their email. 166 00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:58.949 Daffodil Tyminski: and the last one is sidewalks. But i'd rather address that 167 00:16:59.550 --> 00:17:04.619 Daffodil Tyminski: in moving on to Number 7, so does anyone have anything else on Number 168 00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:06.680 Daffodil Tyminski: 6? 169 00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:11.630 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 170 00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:14.730 Daffodil Tyminski: here, no one seeing no hands. Let's move on to Number 7. 171 00:17:16.069 --> 00:17:22.760 Daffodil Tyminski: So a couple things happened. What we've obviously been talking about sidewalks forever, and nothing has been done 172 00:17:22.849 --> 00:17:31.039 Daffodil Tyminski: but a couple of things happened. One is everyone knows we have a new Council person who seems eager to want to make some of these improvements in Venice 173 00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:32.930 2. 174 00:17:33.490 --> 00:17:38.429 Daffodil Tyminski: The funding has been released to California under the Federal Infrastructure Act. 175 00:17:38.710 --> 00:17:39.640 Daffodil Tyminski: and 176 00:17:39.870 --> 00:17:48.259 Daffodil Tyminski: I'm. Not an expert on this at all. But I've done a ton of research and looking around over the past couple of months. 177 00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:52.259 Daffodil Tyminski: and I believe that there are pools of money out there. 178 00:17:52.360 --> 00:17:54.059 Daffodil Tyminski: both city money. 179 00:17:56.090 --> 00:18:00.250 Daffodil Tyminski: state money that is filtered through the county. 180 00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:01.950 Daffodil Tyminski: and then Federal money. 181 00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:04.300 Daffodil Tyminski: And so 182 00:18:04.870 --> 00:18:06.240 Daffodil Tyminski: now I 183 00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:11.749 Daffodil Tyminski: I have talked to the Council Office about this, and they're receptive, and I think they will 184 00:18:11.830 --> 00:18:14.170 Daffodil Tyminski: try to get some of these sidewalks fixed. 185 00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:19.680 Daffodil Tyminski: In the past the issue had been, and I don't. I don't want to be. 186 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.770 Daffodil Tyminski: Make this a bigger deal than it is, but there had been a lawsuit 187 00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:29.730 Daffodil Tyminski: several years ago a Federal lawsuit that was settled, and part of the settlement was that the city would create the sidewalk fund. 188 00:18:29.990 --> 00:18:32.210 Daffodil Tyminski: They did create a sidewalk fund. 189 00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:39.749 Daffodil Tyminski: and I can't quite figure out what happened with it. But it looks like city council passed the motion, and it never got signed by the mayor's office. 190 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:44.519 Daffodil Tyminski: and it seems it never got signed by the mayor's office, because the city attorney at that time 191 00:18:44.750 --> 00:18:49.000 Daffodil Tyminski: felt that the city may be responsible for any issues with the sidewalks 192 00:18:49.090 --> 00:18:50.520 Daffodil Tyminski: if they repaired them. 193 00:18:50.540 --> 00:18:52.949 Daffodil Tyminski: which seems insane to me. 194 00:18:53.230 --> 00:18:59.840 Daffodil Tyminski: But we fortunately also have a new city attorney, who seems like you know she's a very can do person. 195 00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:03.489 Daffodil Tyminski: So my hope is that we can bring this back up 196 00:19:03.770 --> 00:19:08.910 Daffodil Tyminski: and have the Vnc. Make a motion to fix sidewalks. 197 00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:16.199 Daffodil Tyminski: I have a bunch of photos. I would encourage everyone to go around your neighborhoods and let's prioritize, Really, where the really bad streets are. 198 00:19:16.690 --> 00:19:20.950 Daffodil Tyminski: I know Chuck had a bunch in Silver Triangle. Jeremy and I have 199 00:19:21.070 --> 00:19:23.579 Daffodil Tyminski: literally the most ridiculous 200 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.869 Daffodil Tyminski: sidewalk I think I've ever seen near our house. 201 00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:37.100 Daffodil Tyminski: and I don't know where everyone else is. I mean, I know where you are, but I don't know specifically what you encounter on a daily basis. But I would think about this. 202 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:43.189 Daffodil Tyminski: The other thing that we can include with this which we've talked about in the past are. 203 00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:46.449 Daffodil Tyminski: I think, it was the Dell Bridge and the canals 204 00:19:47.490 --> 00:19:51.310 Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl, if you remember that was brought up as a 205 00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:54.370 Daffodil Tyminski: had been, had been 206 00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:56.150 Daffodil Tyminski: not vandalized, but 207 00:19:56.560 --> 00:19:58.359 Daffodil Tyminski: broken by skateboarders 208 00:19:58.600 --> 00:20:01.340 Daffodil Tyminski: and the lighthouse bridge. 209 00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:07.389 Daffodil Tyminski: which I think someone has at least in my notes. I had that if someone had previously brought that up that is needing repair. 210 00:20:09.320 --> 00:20:10.170 Daffodil Tyminski: So 211 00:20:10.530 --> 00:20:21.029 Daffodil Tyminski: I have a motion here i'll. Oh, the motion is the neighbor Venice Neighborhood Council moves to have our us representative Blue, earmarked Federal Funds to improve on a Sidewalk. 212 00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:28.489 Daffodil Tyminski: to have CD. 11 earmarked funding from whatever federal, state or local source, to improve sidewalks in Venice and budget. Accordingly, in the los angeles 213 00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:31.599 Daffodil Tyminski: fiscal year, 2,02324 city budget. 214 00:20:31.770 --> 00:20:41.700 Daffodil Tyminski: and to work with the Vnc and or Neighborhood Committee, and identifying sidewalks in need of a player, including Main Street silver triangle and the Venice canals bridges, many of which have already been discussed by this committee. 215 00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:44.649 Daffodil Tyminski: Can I have someone make the motion? 216 00:20:48.150 --> 00:20:49.209 Jeremy Loeb: I will make it. 217 00:20:49.690 --> 00:20:52.380 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Jeremy, and can someone second it 218 00:20:53.090 --> 00:20:56.799 Daffodil Tyminski: a second. Let's fix those sidewalks. Thanks, Rita. 219 00:21:00.130 --> 00:21:03.649 Daffodil Tyminski: So let's take public comment and see if we have any. 220 00:21:03.870 --> 00:21:04.720 Here 221 00:21:05.170 --> 00:21:10.130 Daffodil Tyminski: we have 3 members of the public is about to go first. Welcome. 222 00:21:12.030 --> 00:21:30.080 Isabelle Duvivier: Hi! My name is Isabelle Tova. I'm. With the Arbor Committee, and also on a body called C Fact, the Community Forest advisory committee. I know quite a lot about the sidewalk repair program. It was the Will it settlement that was settled about 5 years ago. 223 00:21:30.090 --> 00:21:37.449 Isabelle Duvivier: and the city is required to spend 30 million dollars a year for 30 years to repair the sidewalk. It's 224 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.280 Isabelle Duvivier: it's 225 00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:57.640 Isabelle Duvivier: not the most effective way to repair sidewalks. The way it works is, if you have a disability, you can load a 3 1. One request, and it's called a disability request to repair sidewalks. So those are the top priorities that get repaired. They are happening. They're ongoing. 226 00:21:57.690 --> 00:22:06.390 Isabelle Duvivier: I would encourage the Venice community if they have somebody with a disability that would be a great way to get your sidewalks fast tracked. 227 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:13.829 Isabelle Duvivier: and the other thing I would hope that this motion might actually get into greater depth, so that it's more. 228 00:22:14.290 --> 00:22:28.500 Isabelle Duvivier: It's more likely that specific targeted areas get looked at over here in Oakwood, where I live. You know Oakwood is a 100 years old. Our sidewalks are a 100 year old. 229 00:22:28.550 --> 00:22:37.209 Isabelle Duvivier: So it isn't that we have like one area of sidewalk that needs repair it's the entire block and the curves. 230 00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:55.069 Isabelle Duvivier: So I think it would be great if you guys would put together a list to prioritize that. I also know that last year our our chief Controller put together a motion, requiring that the city not do as thorough a job of preparing the sidewalks because they were just replacing 231 00:22:55.320 --> 00:23:16.849 Isabelle Duvivier: way too much sidewalk that they do more patch work. So there's a lot going on in the sidewalk world, and and and like you guys, i'm not really an expert, and I don't want to be an expert. But there is a sidewalk repair meeting that happens once a month. If you wanted to nominate somebody from your group to go to those meetings, and really start to understand how this whole 232 00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:29.479 Isabelle Duvivier: dynamic is working. But I would really request that you put together your high priority list and and use that as a way to to help direct the funds. Thank you. 233 00:23:30.260 --> 00:23:31.480 Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Isabel. 234 00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:36.030 Daffodil Tyminski: And then we have someone in the phone Number 6 9 0, 235 00:23:37.310 --> 00:23:39.700 Daffodil Tyminski: who has their hand raised. Do you have a comment? 236 00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:46.510 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 237 00:23:48.970 --> 00:23:50.850 Daffodil Tyminski: I hear nothing from 6, 9 0. 238 00:23:51.720 --> 00:24:07.320 Daffodil Tyminski: So, Isabel, that's those are great suggestions. Some of this I have tried before already, and we didn't make a lot of headway in the Council office. We have been talking about this for a long time, and we've identified a bunch of locations. 239 00:24:07.370 --> 00:24:14.140 Daffodil Tyminski: So if you have specific locations, please email them to me. And I put this on the Neighborhood Committee website. 240 00:24:14.510 --> 00:24:19.099 Daffodil Tyminski: So if you go on there. It says, you know, if you have a sidewalk location 241 00:24:21.010 --> 00:24:24.930 Daffodil Tyminski: email Vp. Of Venezuela, and preferably with photos. 242 00:24:25.070 --> 00:24:32.220 Daffodil Tyminski: I did not talk about wholesale replacement of sidewalks. I was trying to get some really urgent things fixed. 243 00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:33.820 Daffodil Tyminski: but 244 00:24:34.510 --> 00:24:37.989 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, we can certainly put that in the discussion, so 245 00:24:38.140 --> 00:24:45.070 Daffodil Tyminski: I would just recommend to everyone reach out in your neighborhoods and on your threads that you have that keeps you in contact with your neighbors. 246 00:24:45.250 --> 00:24:46.360 Daffodil Tyminski: and. 247 00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:52.469 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, send in photos. Let's identify locations and just get going. 248 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.390 Daffodil Tyminski: Now we've got 249 00:24:54.420 --> 00:25:00.820 Daffodil Tyminski: money being released, and in the Federal infrastructure Bill some of that money is earmarked specifically for sidewalks. 250 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.460 Daffodil Tyminski: So i'm very hopeful that we can get this done. 251 00:25:04.730 --> 00:25:06.890 Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone on the committee have any comment 252 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:20.830 Isabelle Duvivier: I can? I just add something, so there's been a lot of discussion going on between me 253 00:25:20.850 --> 00:25:26.269 Isabelle Duvivier: and some of the I think they're called the stakeholders the Venice stakeholders 254 00:25:26.410 --> 00:25:29.660 about the Cordeline sidewalks. 255 00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:49.089 Isabelle Duvivier: and I think in general, You probably need to know that the city also prioritizes the road, the sidewalks they repair, they prioritize them around public spaces, public parks, places where there are a large number of people. They do not prioritize schools. 256 00:25:49.230 --> 00:26:02.529 Isabelle Duvivier: because there's an ongoing debate as to whether that should be the domain of L Usd. Or the or the city. And so that's an ongoing battle that 257 00:26:02.540 --> 00:26:12.580 Isabelle Duvivier: a group of stakeholders and I are trying to work out with La Usd. And Street services, because Cordeline probably is the absolute worst 258 00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:27.330 Isabelle Duvivier: collection of sidewalk in Venice, and I believe La Usd has agreed to allow the sidewalk to me Andron to their property, so that those beautiful tfu trees can get a little bit more 259 00:26:27.340 --> 00:26:37.860 Isabelle Duvivier: space for their roots. But it just continues to be a bit of a bureaucracy. And now with a change in leadership. 260 00:26:38.140 --> 00:26:49.080 Isabelle Duvivier: I'm hoping that Council Member Park will be able to help get those 2 large players in a room together, because it's also an issue on Main Street in front of Westminster. So 261 00:26:49.130 --> 00:26:59.519 Isabelle Duvivier: if if we could get L. Usd. And Street services to actually talk to each other and Poe and agree on a way to fund those projects that would really help 262 00:26:59.590 --> 00:27:01.230 Isabelle Duvivier: to large 263 00:27:01.250 --> 00:27:03.610 Isabelle Duvivier: pro problem areas in our city. 264 00:27:03.780 --> 00:27:04.490 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. 265 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:15.679 Daffodil Tyminski: yeah, Main Street is on my list. I'm aware of that. I'm a it's near my house. I wasn't aware of Portal Lane again. If you want to have folks email me exact locations. I will make up a list. 266 00:27:16.070 --> 00:27:23.199 Daffodil Tyminski: and we'll go down it, and it's it's Bureau of engineering, too. I think it's the one that will 267 00:27:23.370 --> 00:27:28.729 Daffodil Tyminski: give the a or a on the trees with the I forget the forestry department, or 268 00:27:29.060 --> 00:27:31.899 Daffodil Tyminski: what the other department is in the city. But thank you for that. 269 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.600 Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone else on the committee Have any comment? 270 00:27:42.030 --> 00:27:44.489 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, seeing no hands, let's take a vote. 271 00:27:44.870 --> 00:27:46.329 Jeremy, how do you vote 272 00:27:50.790 --> 00:27:52.350 Daffodil Tyminski: of Jeremy may have dropped off. 273 00:27:52.620 --> 00:27:54.870 Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, You'll want us there, Felicia. How do you vote. 274 00:27:59.300 --> 00:28:00.170 Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia? 275 00:28:03.580 --> 00:28:05.580 I think you need to unmute Felicia 276 00:28:11.760 --> 00:28:13.009 Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia. How do you vote. 277 00:28:13.560 --> 00:28:14.300 felicia saltzbart: Hey. 278 00:28:15.410 --> 00:28:16.810 William? 279 00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.680 William Wood: Yes. 280 00:28:20.150 --> 00:28:20.950 Daffodil Tyminski: chuck. 281 00:28:21.370 --> 00:28:22.140 Charles Rosin: Yes. 282 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.510 Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl 283 00:28:24.610 --> 00:28:25.460 Darryl DuFay: Yes. 284 00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:28.150 Daffodil Tyminski: Rita. 285 00:28:28.210 --> 00:28:28.930 reta moser: Yes. 286 00:28:29.990 --> 00:28:31.460 Daffodil Tyminski: And Sergio. 287 00:28:32.110 --> 00:28:33.190 Sergio Pérez: Yes. 288 00:28:33.890 --> 00:28:35.150 Daffodil Tyminski: yes, okay. Great. 289 00:28:36.300 --> 00:28:37.480 Daffodil Tyminski: So 290 00:28:41.390 --> 00:28:51.900 Daffodil Tyminski: please just walk, you know, just even if you're walking around it. Doesn't have to be your neighborhood. But if you see a spot that you think, while the sidewalk really needs to be fixed, take a photo and email it to me. 291 00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:54.180 Daffodil Tyminski: and we'll, we'll keep it running less. 292 00:28:55.450 --> 00:28:57.870 Let's move on to new business. 293 00:28:58.150 --> 00:29:06.059 Daffodil Tyminski: One is this: Yolanda just wanted to make everyone aware so that everyone could, and this is Number 9 294 00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:07.840 Daffodil Tyminski: make their respective 295 00:29:08.210 --> 00:29:17.230 Daffodil Tyminski: people aware that the deadline to obtain real ids was extended to May 2,025 I believe the original deadline was sometime this may. 296 00:29:17.590 --> 00:29:23.800 Daffodil Tyminski: So at some point we're all going to need a real idea to be able to fly and do lots of different things. So 297 00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:27.610 Daffodil Tyminski: if you have folks concerned on this issue. Just get the word out 298 00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:30.870 Daffodil Tyminski: Number 10. 299 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:40.439 Daffodil Tyminski: Yo. Wanda had submitted this as well right around the time in the fall when we decided to meetings off until after the elections. 300 00:29:40.710 --> 00:29:47.630 Daffodil Tyminski: and i'm not sure that I completely know what her vision was. I interpreted what she submitted. 301 00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:49.400 Daffodil Tyminski: and 302 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:51.580 Daffodil Tyminski: the real gist of it is 303 00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.810 Daffodil Tyminski: is that 304 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.560 Daffodil Tyminski: there is a very basic provision in the city charter 305 00:29:56.610 --> 00:29:58.540 Daffodil Tyminski: for neighborhood councils. 306 00:29:58.990 --> 00:30:00.639 Daffodil Tyminski: And then they 307 00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:09.060 Daffodil Tyminski: started a department of neighborhood empowerment done that actually enacts and and administers the neighborhood council system. 308 00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:22.209 Daffodil Tyminski: and I believe her issue was that done, just keeps layering rule over rule over rule on the neighborhood councils, and it has gotten us more and more marginalized away from having any power in the city. 309 00:30:22.810 --> 00:30:24.260 And so 310 00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:28.509 Daffodil Tyminski: there is a neighborhood council, a plan 311 00:30:28.540 --> 00:30:31.810 Daffodil Tyminski: plan for the city-wide system of neighborhood councils. 312 00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:37.099 Daffodil Tyminski: and that has not been updated in a very long time. And so I believe her request 313 00:30:37.410 --> 00:30:39.999 Daffodil Tyminski: was to ask 314 00:30:40.080 --> 00:30:46.249 Daffodil Tyminski: that the City Council update the Neighborhood Council plan system. So we actually have, like a real charter 315 00:30:46.270 --> 00:30:48.560 Daffodil Tyminski: for the neighborhood councils. We're not just 316 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.909 Daffodil Tyminski: operating under this kind of patchwork myriad of role set out by done. 317 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:58.760 Daffodil Tyminski: We can wait on this, so you'll want us here. I feel like it may be 318 00:30:58.820 --> 00:31:04.669 Daffodil Tyminski: better if we do that. But I'm also happy to take it up. Now, if somebody wants to make the motion. 319 00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:16.199 Charles Rosin: chuck, go ahead. I see your hands up. 320 00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:22.199 Charles Rosin: Yolanda is saying, but I I have said in front of this committee before, as I do feel, that 321 00:31:22.830 --> 00:31:29.080 Charles Rosin: the entire Neighborhood Council system was devised by City Hall in the nineties 322 00:31:29.190 --> 00:31:41.270 Charles Rosin: to counteract the rising influence that then not neighborhood councils, but we mostly called a homeowner. Associations had in the valley and in the West side in the Center City. 323 00:31:41.350 --> 00:31:47.349 Charles Rosin: and I think we in in the mid eighties we caught the 324 00:31:47.890 --> 00:31:58.250 Charles Rosin: City Hall, and by that I I pretty much meet the Bradley Administration and the Cra. And others groups who were very pro development by surprise. 325 00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:00.660 Charles Rosin: And so I I I feel 326 00:32:02.030 --> 00:32:21.439 Charles Rosin: you know just the idea that you have to wait to the President or the difficulty that we often have that starting our meetings because we have to do it a certain way, or it doesn't matter this person as though Jim has to let you in, or whatever I guess all of these rules, I just think, because you know, and then 327 00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:25.520 Charles Rosin: I I I know that is the background that change. And then I see how 328 00:32:25.760 --> 00:32:27.050 Charles Rosin: you know the the 329 00:32:27.090 --> 00:32:31.220 Charles Rosin: Our Neighborhood Council here in Venice. I I feel, was pretty 330 00:32:33.250 --> 00:32:45.499 Charles Rosin: denuded or castrated during the bond and eras, and having any influence really on policy or being heard. So I I I I do think they are probably a lot of problems 331 00:32:45.620 --> 00:33:01.380 Charles Rosin: that are are put in there, that Aren't really, for the residential and business communities, but really to to consolidate power power away from the neighborhoods, and so I I think it is an important issue to be studied. 332 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:04.949 Charles Rosin: But again, I don't know all the issues I just wanted to give that background. 333 00:33:05.250 --> 00:33:06.540 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, thank you. 334 00:33:07.550 --> 00:33:11.900 Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone else have a comment, or would like to make Daryl go ahead? 335 00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:16.830 Darryl DuFay: Yes. I looked at the motion itself, and 336 00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:22.670 Darryl DuFay: I was a little confused by talking about the city charter. 337 00:33:22.770 --> 00:33:26.010 Darryl DuFay: And maybe this should just focus on 338 00:33:26.300 --> 00:33:30.139 Darryl DuFay: the concerns about the neighborhood Council system. 339 00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:33.000 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 340 00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:36.680 Darryl DuFay: because if you throw the charter in there. 341 00:33:36.810 --> 00:33:44.689 Darryl DuFay: somebody gonna just say, you know, these people are taking over over over 4 million people, and maybe that's not what you want to do. 342 00:33:45.290 --> 00:33:46.090 Charles Rosin: Huh! 343 00:33:46.340 --> 00:33:50.019 reta moser: I I don't know for sure, but I think Yolanda wanted 344 00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:52.609 reta moser: the then the neighborhood consoles 345 00:33:52.830 --> 00:33:53.920 reta moser: to have 346 00:33:54.370 --> 00:33:57.480 reta moser: a voice. We Haven't had a voice 347 00:33:57.910 --> 00:33:59.550 reta moser: We we make. 348 00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:03.470 reta moser: we make noise, and nothing happens at our Council 349 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.990 reta moser: Office. 350 00:34:05.170 --> 00:34:12.490 reta moser: and I think she wanted to make sure that the name Venice neighborhood comp the Venezuelan Council and all the councils 351 00:34:12.690 --> 00:34:14.089 reta moser: had a voice 352 00:34:14.270 --> 00:34:16.090 reta moser: that was heard. 353 00:34:17.909 --> 00:34:18.489 Daffodil Tyminski: Hmm. 354 00:34:19.550 --> 00:34:25.730 Daffodil Tyminski: You agree? That's how I interpret it. I just daryl your point. I'm not sure mechanically whether 355 00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:36.649 Daffodil Tyminski: her intention was to have that through the charter or the enactment plan. Why, I included both. But I think it's a really good. 356 00:34:36.830 --> 00:34:40.689 Darryl DuFay: This is a reason that we're not going to do anything because it's so broad 357 00:34:40.860 --> 00:34:44.429 Darryl DuFay: as opposed to narrowing it down. That was all. 358 00:34:44.540 --> 00:34:58.769 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Well, maybe if we bring this back next month we can. I can work with you London and Eric Taylor it a little bit more. The other thing, by the way that I neglected to mention that, I understand is going on is they may redistrict the Neighborhood Councils. 359 00:34:59.620 --> 00:35:01.099 Daffodil Tyminski: and 360 00:35:01.350 --> 00:35:08.050 Daffodil Tyminski: I'd really be curious about this, because now Venice is split among our county supervisors. 361 00:35:08.150 --> 00:35:09.299 Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know that 362 00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:15.460 Daffodil Tyminski: this would be an impetus to divide Venice as a neighborhood council. But now, Felicia. 363 00:35:16.090 --> 00:35:16.870 Daffodil Tyminski: sorry 364 00:35:17.550 --> 00:35:18.229 Oh. 365 00:35:18.450 --> 00:35:23.719 Daffodil Tyminski: the the books on south of Washington Boulevard 366 00:35:23.870 --> 00:35:27.139 Daffodil Tyminski: are now under Supervisor Holly Mitchell. 367 00:35:27.430 --> 00:35:32.689 Daffodil Tyminski: and everyone north of Washington Boulevard is under the district of 368 00:35:33.240 --> 00:35:34.410 Daffodil Tyminski: Lindsey Horvath. 369 00:35:34.950 --> 00:35:47.469 Daffodil Tyminski: And so there are some lines being redrawn all over. La, and I think there is an intention somewhat soon to redistrict the neighborhood councils. So that's kind of something I it just wanted people to be aware of, and to. 370 00:35:47.530 --> 00:35:51.680 Daffodil Tyminski: We want to make sure that we have a voice in that. 371 00:35:52.060 --> 00:35:57.470 Daffodil Tyminski: And perhaps even on this committee in a future meeting. We can talk about what we think 372 00:35:57.930 --> 00:36:00.640 Daffodil Tyminski: the Council boundaries would be, or 373 00:36:01.170 --> 00:36:08.930 Daffodil Tyminski: you know I don't know if there's a particular neighborhood that doesn't want to be in Venice, or are we missing somebody or something like that? 374 00:36:09.450 --> 00:36:10.310 Daffodil Tyminski: That's what 375 00:36:10.600 --> 00:36:13.540 reta moser: I I think that's a very good point 376 00:36:13.590 --> 00:36:19.279 reta moser: we have disturbing for the county supervisors. We have voting districts. We have the 377 00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:24.340 reta moser: districts for counting the homeless. We have so many districts, but the Venice 378 00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:27.519 reta moser: neighborhood console should definitely be defined. 379 00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:28.399 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. 380 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:36.200 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So why don't we on that one carry this till next month? I'll talk to you later in the meantime 381 00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:39.199 Daffodil Tyminski: and chuck. If you want to just jump in, go ahead. 382 00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:55.149 Charles Rosin: Well, yeah, I think it's really important to keep the the the the that I've been living here as our house gets prepared in the silver triangle down here in the Marina Peninsula, I think it's very important to keep the Marina Peninsula in the Venice Neighborhood Council 383 00:36:55.410 --> 00:37:13.140 Charles Rosin: authority. There are a lot of people down here. The beach is connected straight. A lot of people use the beach. A lot of homeowners and residents use the beach, and there, there, there's it's it's a stable neighborhood, and it should be part of our 384 00:37:13.150 --> 00:37:29.860 Charles Rosin: our Venice residential area. So I would just wanted to say that that there's that that to me that's more important than an an actual district represented boundary arbitrarily made by the on the county level. 385 00:37:31.240 --> 00:37:36.179 Daffodil Tyminski: I agree with you, and just to be clear, I have no information that they would split up Venice 386 00:37:36.250 --> 00:37:49.279 Daffodil Tyminski: based on the Supervisor district, but I was actually so shocked that they split then us up for the Supervisor districts that it made me think, Wow, we need to get ahead of this. Well, I did take a. I did take a look at that article yesterday, and see that 387 00:37:49.340 --> 00:38:07.670 Charles Rosin: that the county couldn't even get on their agenda to talk about the fact that they might need to be more members of the county than 5. They couldn't even get a conversation started on that was very discouraging. It. It should be noted that it was 388 00:38:07.680 --> 00:38:23.039 Charles Rosin: it. You know, people that i'm not often as aligned with as in in the same like you daft that it was Horvath and Mitchell that wanted to talk about the expansion, and it was the other 3 that just didn't respond. It was very disc discouraging to me. 389 00:38:23.810 --> 00:38:24.740 Daffodil Tyminski: Do that. 390 00:38:26.200 --> 00:38:27.520 Daffodil Tyminski: Carol. Go ahead. 391 00:38:27.850 --> 00:38:31.950 Darryl DuFay: Yes, I I hope you all know that that move 392 00:38:33.130 --> 00:38:36.130 Darryl DuFay: for the supervisors 393 00:38:36.330 --> 00:38:39.049 Darryl DuFay: moved all of the beach cities 394 00:38:39.240 --> 00:38:40.470 Darryl DuFay: into 395 00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:48.580 Darryl DuFay: the into the the other Supervisors district, and it was it was a it was a 396 00:38:48.830 --> 00:38:50.590 Darryl DuFay: successful attempt 397 00:38:50.810 --> 00:38:52.000 Darryl DuFay: to create 398 00:38:52.230 --> 00:38:56.960 Darryl DuFay: a a district that is, was at least 50% hispanic. 399 00:38:57.570 --> 00:38:58.750 Darryl DuFay: And the 400 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:03.660 Darryl DuFay: it didn't matter because they didn't change. They didn't change CD. 11. 401 00:39:03.690 --> 00:39:06.000 Darryl DuFay: It was just for the supervisors. 402 00:39:06.050 --> 00:39:07.730 Darryl DuFay: and it was a it was. 403 00:39:08.150 --> 00:39:15.240 Darryl DuFay: It was just done. They decided just to move hundreds of people along the coast, all of them 404 00:39:15.550 --> 00:39:17.290 Darryl DuFay: into that district. 405 00:39:17.790 --> 00:39:23.910 Darryl DuFay: So i'm just making that point in terms of if you're starting to look at 406 00:39:24.790 --> 00:39:27.909 Darryl DuFay: the what was done. It's done. 407 00:39:28.380 --> 00:39:29.169 Darryl DuFay: Thank you. 408 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:31.459 Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Darrell. 409 00:39:32.860 --> 00:39:42.600 Daffodil Tyminski: Anybody else. We do not have a maker of this motion so normally that would mean the motion just dies. I can bring it back 410 00:39:43.470 --> 00:39:50.650 Charles Rosin: next month with. I think you should bring. I think we should bring it back in deference to a lot, Yolanda, you know, as 411 00:39:50.930 --> 00:39:53.079 Daffodil Tyminski: that'd be my motion. 412 00:39:53.670 --> 00:40:00.700 Daffodil Tyminski: And frankly, the redistricting maybe has more significance than I had thought about when I put this together. Maybe we put that on as a separate item. 413 00:40:02.630 --> 00:40:07.670 reta moser: council, district or county. No, the Neighborhood Council District. 414 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.749 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. I mean the county. I don't think we can do much about. 415 00:40:11.640 --> 00:40:12.910 Charles Rosin: Oh, yeah. 416 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:21.330 Charles Rosin: Well, just deaf as you being on the Vnc. And notice the county there's 417 00:40:21.550 --> 00:40:25.230 Charles Rosin: Does the Vnc. Have a much relationship with the county. 418 00:40:26.630 --> 00:40:34.609 Daffodil Tyminski: The only way that that we, the county, really affects us, although you know, for example, funding with the the Federal 419 00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:36.870 Daffodil Tyminski: infrastructure funds 420 00:40:37.340 --> 00:40:41.959 Daffodil Tyminski: that are coming to California are then administered through the State. 421 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.100 Daffodil Tyminski: and the State sets up funds county by county. 422 00:40:45.560 --> 00:40:54.419 Daffodil Tyminski: and so for some of a huge pool of funding, that we may have access to for some of the infrastructure projects in Venice, we would have to work through our county Supervisor 423 00:40:54.770 --> 00:40:56.599 Daffodil Tyminski: the other way. 424 00:40:57.350 --> 00:41:01.560 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, the other way to county, I think, has a role in Venice is with the beach. 425 00:41:02.160 --> 00:41:04.319 Daffodil Tyminski: because the county 426 00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:06.379 Daffodil Tyminski: maintains 427 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.359 Daffodil Tyminski: control over some of the beach area. 428 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:13.180 Daffodil Tyminski: although, as you all know that's always been a political football. 429 00:41:14.620 --> 00:41:21.839 Charles Rosin: Well, I can't. I? I know that the the relationship between you know Venice and the county deteriorated under the former 430 00:41:22.270 --> 00:41:32.369 Charles Rosin: commit, you know, under Sheila, but I I think it's a real important one, and I really do hope that the Vnc. Or or Tracy's office herself can really 431 00:41:32.410 --> 00:41:34.749 Charles Rosin: work to energize 432 00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:38.370 Charles Rosin: this relationship with the county. So we get their money. 433 00:41:38.660 --> 00:41:43.109 Charles Rosin: We've been to we, we, the La County and and Venice Beach has been. 434 00:41:43.240 --> 00:41:47.130 Charles Rosin: you know, deprived of a lot of ways that we can make 435 00:41:47.330 --> 00:42:01.740 Charles Rosin: a much nicer experience, not only for the residents, but certainly for the tourism. And I'm. Just as one person very encouraged that Tracy took over the Tourism committee, and and we'll probably revise it because 436 00:42:01.750 --> 00:42:12.870 Charles Rosin: you and I both have have been listening to years for George. Talk about how the the city does not appreciate the assets that they have at Venice Beach, and maybe the county will. 437 00:42:13.540 --> 00:42:14.310 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. 438 00:42:14.610 --> 00:42:20.510 Daffodil Tyminski: And I I think you're right. I think our current Council person definitely appreciates the potential that Venice has. 439 00:42:20.600 --> 00:42:21.350 Charles Rosin: Yeah. 440 00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:26.789 Daffodil Tyminski: I spoke with her folks. They definitely want to shake some money loose for us to 441 00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:34.019 Daffodil Tyminski: do some of the projects we think should be done. It's just a matter of how to do it, and where to get it from. So I've been researching all these different pools of funding. 442 00:42:34.220 --> 00:42:36.210 Daffodil Tyminski: There is a lot out there. 443 00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:38.819 Daffodil Tyminski: It's just a matter of 444 00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:47.179 Daffodil Tyminski: getting, you know, getting it unlocked. I think this is where Janet Turner and Ted lose office can help, because 445 00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:51.249 Daffodil Tyminski: Janet Turner's been very good about coming to Venice meetings and things like that. 446 00:42:54.050 --> 00:42:57.839 Charles Rosin: Something you said. Oh, i'm really glad to hear that 5 years ago 447 00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:01.960 Charles Rosin: that wasn't necessarily the case 4 years ago. So i'm really happy to hear that. 448 00:43:02.340 --> 00:43:05.829 Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, yeah, She usually comes to each of our Vnc meetings. And 449 00:43:06.150 --> 00:43:16.370 Charles Rosin: right. 450 00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:20.609 Charles Rosin: basically the people who were in the at the start of fight back, that is. 451 00:43:20.640 --> 00:43:30.869 Charles Rosin: And the response was about what's going on in the meeting, and things like that. And the response from the Councilman's office was a email showing all the 452 00:43:31.370 --> 00:43:42.509 Charles Rosin: all the money that the Ca that the Congressman has brought into that that this Congress will be bringing to Los Angeles, and that's all of our level of involvement. 453 00:43:42.670 --> 00:43:47.989 Charles Rosin: Not necessarily with policy. We'll let the locals figure out what they want to do, which meant 454 00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:51.870 Charles Rosin: at that point gave cart launched to my bonnet. So. 455 00:43:51.990 --> 00:43:56.829 Daffodil Tyminski: and that is the way it works, even with the current infrastructure bill. That's how it's going to happen. 456 00:43:57.430 --> 00:44:06.229 Daffodil Tyminski: That's how it is happening. The the one thing that we, the issue we've always faced in Venice, and I think I've said this before we've talked about it in previous meetings is that 457 00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:19.009 Daffodil Tyminski: we get allotted the same amount of money as other places in CD. 11 get allotted, but it disproportionate amount of what we have to spend on our own infrastructure goes to Ocean front walk. 458 00:44:19.410 --> 00:44:24.319 Daffodil Tyminski: and obviously that needs to be maintained, and it's a tourist destination. But we don't get 459 00:44:24.510 --> 00:44:30.109 Daffodil Tyminski: a bonus for that, and for the amount of people that are coming in and using our resources 460 00:44:30.350 --> 00:44:31.270 Charles Rosin: right. 461 00:44:31.390 --> 00:44:36.200 Daffodil Tyminski: you know my hope would be to that. We can rebalance a little bit to give Venice. 462 00:44:36.390 --> 00:44:44.419 Daffodil Tyminski: maybe a separate fun for ocean front walk and keep that going. But the the neighborhood that the money that comes to our neighborhood actually stays in our community that we live in 463 00:44:44.640 --> 00:44:47.829 Daffodil Tyminski: right? Because most of us don't live right on our front walk. If that makes sense. 464 00:44:48.080 --> 00:44:51.769 Okay, so we will. We will move on from Number 10 and 465 00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.120 Daffodil Tyminski: deal with that next month. 466 00:44:55.770 --> 00:45:01.469 Daffodil Tyminski: Last is approval of minutes. We have a bunch of minutes that for various reasons we're never approved. 467 00:45:01.790 --> 00:45:05.719 Daffodil Tyminski: I would post them, and then they would mysteriously disappear from the website. 468 00:45:06.110 --> 00:45:21.259 Daffodil Tyminski: But i'd like to get them all done now, because everyone wants to see what happened in the meetings. If you've looked at them a lot. Some of our meetings were discussion only, so there really nothing happened that we voted on, and we've had a fairly limited number of things that we voted on. 469 00:45:22.890 --> 00:45:26.219 Daffodil Tyminski: But can I get someone to make a motion 470 00:45:26.340 --> 00:45:28.620 Daffodil Tyminski: to approve. Prior meeting minutes. 471 00:45:29.010 --> 00:45:35.319 reta moser: I make a motion that we approve the prior meeting. Note motion minutes that we haven't approved before. 472 00:45:35.630 --> 00:45:38.669 Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Rita. Can someone second that 473 00:45:39.010 --> 00:45:40.089 felicia saltzbart: I second it. 474 00:45:40.150 --> 00:45:40.790 Yup. 475 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:46.199 Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Felicia, and let me just say one thing, too. I will go through in terms of 476 00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:50.179 Daffodil Tyminski: the actual motion, and if someone was absent on a particular 477 00:45:51.470 --> 00:45:52.790 Daffodil Tyminski: date. I'll 478 00:45:52.830 --> 00:45:55.459 Daffodil Tyminski: take them out of the minutes for this one, If that makes sense. 479 00:45:55.630 --> 00:46:04.920 Daffodil Tyminski: I just rather than make you know what is it 7 or 8 different motions? I thought I would just make one. Let me see if we have any public comment 480 00:46:05.590 --> 00:46:07.240 Daffodil Tyminski: A 6, 9 0. 481 00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:09.820 Daffodil Tyminski: Is there anything you wanted to say? 482 00:46:12.050 --> 00:46:16.410 Daffodil Tyminski: You just raise your hand 6, 9 0, and lower it and raise it again. Did you want to make a comment? 483 00:46:21.300 --> 00:46:24.239 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, seeing none will close public comment. 484 00:46:24.490 --> 00:46:26.949 Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone on the Committee have any comments 485 00:46:27.070 --> 00:46:28.400 Daffodil Tyminski: or any questions? 486 00:46:32.260 --> 00:46:35.689 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, seeing no hands, let's take a vote. 487 00:46:37.590 --> 00:46:40.089 Daffodil Tyminski: Jeremy is not here, Felicia. 488 00:46:43.460 --> 00:46:44.330 Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia. 489 00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:47.049 felicia saltzbart: Yes, okay, yes. 490 00:46:47.100 --> 00:46:48.060 William. 491 00:46:50.530 --> 00:47:04.159 William Wood: I will vote to approve the minutes from meetings where I was present, and abstain from approval on the ones where I was not. 492 00:47:04.270 --> 00:47:06.640 Daffodil Tyminski: But thanks for pointing that out. Chuck. 493 00:47:07.560 --> 00:47:08.560 Charles Rosin: Yes. 494 00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.149 Daffodil Tyminski: girl. 495 00:47:10.300 --> 00:47:11.220 Darryl DuFay: Yes. 496 00:47:11.890 --> 00:47:13.430 Daffodil Tyminski: Rita. Yes. 497 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.609 Daffodil Tyminski: yes. And Sergio. 498 00:47:17.460 --> 00:47:18.470 Sergio Pérez: Yes. 499 00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:22.580 Daffodil Tyminski: okay. Thanks for Jo. Okay. So that motion passes 500 00:47:22.670 --> 00:47:28.730 Daffodil Tyminski: and moving on, you know. Normally, I put the public comment on items not on the agenda at the front. 501 00:47:28.820 --> 00:47:34.600 Daffodil Tyminski: I didn't do it. I had a little bit of a hard time reordering the the items 502 00:47:34.780 --> 00:47:38.500 Daffodil Tyminski: set up. So I put it back here, knowing that the meeting would be fairly short. 503 00:47:38.640 --> 00:47:42.720 Daffodil Tyminski: Is there any public comment on any item that is not on the agenda. 504 00:47:43.990 --> 00:47:46.040 Daffodil Tyminski: We have one member of the public on 505 00:47:49.570 --> 00:47:50.189 okay. 506 00:47:50.770 --> 00:47:55.850 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, seeing no hands, there will close public comment and move on to Number 13, 507 00:47:55.950 --> 00:47:58.820 Daffodil Tyminski: and that is committee comment on items, not on the agenda. 508 00:47:59.160 --> 00:48:08.340 Daffodil Tyminski: If anyone has anything that they want to say, or if there's anything that you think we should be addressing that we're not, please let me know 509 00:48:09.060 --> 00:48:11.459 felicia saltzbart: You go ahead. Yes. 510 00:48:11.910 --> 00:48:17.599 felicia saltzbart: just to put it out there and get in front of it with Tracy. Now being the head of tourism. 511 00:48:17.720 --> 00:48:23.640 felicia saltzbart: We talked months ago about Venice, not be included in the upcoming Olympics. 512 00:48:24.140 --> 00:48:27.819 felicia saltzbart: and just to see if there's an opportunity there 513 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:29.470 felicia saltzbart: to work together. 514 00:48:29.610 --> 00:48:33.099 felicia saltzbart: We never really came to an agreement on what 515 00:48:33.180 --> 00:48:38.649 felicia saltzbart: we should be doing. Our presenting. We had written a a mission statement, but I never really got far so 516 00:48:38.680 --> 00:48:41.860 felicia saltzbart: just putting it back out there on people's radar. 517 00:48:43.210 --> 00:48:50.920 Daffodil Tyminski: That's that's great. I was thinking about that, too, because we had talked about maybe making a motion for an AD hoc committee 518 00:48:51.080 --> 00:48:54.050 Daffodil Tyminski: on the Olympics. Is that something that you think is still 519 00:48:54.210 --> 00:48:55.130 Daffodil Tyminski: worth doing. 520 00:48:56.990 --> 00:49:01.109 felicia saltzbart: I'd love to hear from the other committee members. I mean, I was for it. But 521 00:49:01.210 --> 00:49:03.139 Daffodil Tyminski: okay, Daryl. 522 00:49:03.770 --> 00:49:11.459 Darryl DuFay: Yes, one thing that I've noticed that we now have a Venice field Deputy 523 00:49:11.560 --> 00:49:14.189 Darryl DuFay: Ashley, Lozada. 524 00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.740 Darryl DuFay: and 525 00:49:15.890 --> 00:49:20.060 Darryl DuFay: Tracy is filled in like filled in now her staff. 526 00:49:20.370 --> 00:49:24.660 Darryl DuFay: The second thing that I have been following for 10 years is homelessness. 527 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:28.139 Darryl DuFay: and the interesting 528 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.910 Darryl DuFay: report by the Rand Corporation 529 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:33.799 Darryl DuFay: about the 2,022 530 00:49:37.070 --> 00:49:42.560 Darryl DuFay: count, and they they came out during the during the year for months and looked at it 531 00:49:43.210 --> 00:49:47.119 Darryl DuFay: and found out that it's specifically for 532 00:49:47.250 --> 00:49:48.240 Darryl DuFay: Dennis. 533 00:49:48.270 --> 00:49:55.089 Darryl DuFay: They were 32% off from what Lhasa had in terms of the count. 534 00:49:55.290 --> 00:49:59.330 Darryl DuFay: and Wednesday night was the account for this year. 535 00:49:59.600 --> 00:50:02.560 Darryl DuFay: and they're doing a new 536 00:50:02.630 --> 00:50:06.809 Darryl DuFay: yeah, a new thing with a hand held 537 00:50:07.510 --> 00:50:14.549 Darryl DuFay: the devices, and I don't know how that's going to go. But anyway, I'm I'm. Continued to follow it. 538 00:50:14.710 --> 00:50:18.439 Darryl DuFay: and no one knows how many homeless there are. 539 00:50:18.680 --> 00:50:20.270 Darryl DuFay: and the 540 00:50:20.330 --> 00:50:26.239 Darryl DuFay: that has the last thing is for the homeless count is called P. It 541 00:50:26.450 --> 00:50:27.229 Darryl DuFay: point 542 00:50:27.430 --> 00:50:28.879 Darryl DuFay: point in time. 543 00:50:29.100 --> 00:50:30.330 Darryl DuFay: That means 544 00:50:30.430 --> 00:50:32.610 Darryl DuFay: 1 min in time. 545 00:50:32.820 --> 00:50:37.249 Darryl DuFay: When they look around and see, a count is used to describe 546 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:43.899 Darryl DuFay: making decisions for the whole year, for how much money, where they're going, etc. So that's what to say. 547 00:50:45.580 --> 00:50:46.330 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 548 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:47.399 Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you. 549 00:50:48.290 --> 00:50:51.370 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, that Rand report was interesting. I saw that 550 00:50:52.410 --> 00:50:53.690 chat Go ahead. 551 00:50:54.180 --> 00:50:59.449 Charles Rosin: Yeah, thank you, Daffodil. Yeah. A couple of things. I also 552 00:50:59.600 --> 00:51:05.239 Charles Rosin: did see the Rand report and thought it was very interesting, and obviously 553 00:51:05.300 --> 00:51:13.199 Charles Rosin: the the the with with with with Tracy and City Hall is a a completely different relationship we now have with. 554 00:51:13.570 --> 00:51:25.329 Charles Rosin: I think not only that the the City Hall itself, but our own community, and the ability to get some things done, and that we're all, I think it encouraged, and and probably a little surprised at the same time. 555 00:51:25.430 --> 00:51:27.489 Charles Rosin: I want to. 556 00:51:28.510 --> 00:51:32.869 Charles Rosin: You talk about what Felicia has talked about. I've done a lot of thinking about 557 00:51:32.890 --> 00:51:39.709 Charles Rosin: not only the Olympics. It started just thinking about the Olympics a lot, but also about what to do 558 00:51:39.730 --> 00:51:41.140 Charles Rosin: to 559 00:51:41.830 --> 00:51:43.310 Charles Rosin: refurbish 560 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:58.760 Charles Rosin: the image of Venice relative to the tourism world and the and the community itself, and and start to. I. I thought that the West Side current published something interesting yesterday talking about. You know the difference. And when we were 561 00:51:58.830 --> 00:52:12.879 Charles Rosin: perceived as Bondenville, and a kind of a sad place, and not a place to to go, and tourists didn't enjoy. So I had been working on something, and unfortunately got a little real life conspired to upend our lives a little bit, but 562 00:52:12.890 --> 00:52:27.770 Charles Rosin: and I had hope to have something to prepare now. But I do did want to say a Daffodil and Felicia that I would like to talk with you and and give you, maybe an in first glance at what i'm thinking about, and see if it's something that can 563 00:52:27.950 --> 00:52:31.900 Charles Rosin: to generate some interest among our Committee V and C. 564 00:52:31.990 --> 00:52:36.670 Charles Rosin: The Chamber and the Council's office, and parks and wreck at the same time. So 565 00:52:38.140 --> 00:52:40.319 Daffodil Tyminski: that's what I've been thinking about. Anyway. 566 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:47.220 Charles Rosin: Okay, I've just now unfortunately, I thought I could be ready today. I'm not. But but W. Would like to try to set up a time to do it. 567 00:52:47.570 --> 00:52:50.609 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, great. I'm around. So 568 00:52:50.690 --> 00:52:52.839 Daffodil Tyminski: just let me know. Sorry about this, too. 569 00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:53.810 Charles Rosin: Surely 570 00:52:56.910 --> 00:52:58.339 anyone else 571 00:52:59.580 --> 00:53:00.750 Daffodil Tyminski: have anything? 572 00:53:02.680 --> 00:53:09.039 Daffodil Tyminski: I have a couple of things that I would like to do again. I mean, Chuck, I i'm with you. 573 00:53:09.150 --> 00:53:14.820 Daffodil Tyminski: It is a bit of a breath of fresh air to have a Council office that just seems excited to work with us, and 574 00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:21.289 Daffodil Tyminski: when you come with them with ideas, you know they're they're like, Yes, let's try it. Let's do it. 575 00:53:21.330 --> 00:53:25.569 Daffodil Tyminski: and there's a couple of ideas I wanted to raise that I'll put on our next agenda. 576 00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:32.139 Daffodil Tyminski: and these are just ideas that I've had. I just be curious what people's. Reactions were. 577 00:53:32.350 --> 00:53:39.060 Daffodil Tyminski: One is, you know we we had talked a long time ago about revising the neighborhood structure 578 00:53:39.100 --> 00:53:45.100 Daffodil Tyminski: of the neighborhood Committee, and I think we came to almost in a total agreement on what we thought that would be. 579 00:53:45.290 --> 00:53:51.620 Daffodil Tyminski: Unfortunately, by the time we did it we could no longer amend the bylaws. So that's something. I'm just going to pass on 580 00:53:51.850 --> 00:53:57.659 Daffodil Tyminski: to the next Vp: so and hopefully, we they can get that going right away 581 00:53:57.750 --> 00:54:00.389 Daffodil Tyminski: when the next board is installed. 582 00:54:02.190 --> 00:54:10.629 Daffodil Tyminski: But that made me think the character of the different neighborhoods is really different in Venice. And one interesting thing, maybe. 583 00:54:10.750 --> 00:54:13.010 Daffodil Tyminski: to try to do like 584 00:54:13.110 --> 00:54:18.390 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, other parts of the city have lighting districts. You know where they've created 585 00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:26.870 Daffodil Tyminski: when they've done upgrades and neighborhoods. They've done the neighborhoods in different ways. You know, according to how that neighborhood wishes to give that neighborhood some character. 586 00:54:27.300 --> 00:54:32.179 Daffodil Tyminski: So, for example, we've got the traditional business of winward 587 00:54:32.900 --> 00:54:35.069 Daffodil Tyminski: district. You know the old. 588 00:54:35.090 --> 00:54:38.790 Daffodil Tyminski: or you know the canal, certainly, or its own complete. 589 00:54:39.240 --> 00:54:44.369 Daffodil Tyminski: interesting neighborhood. That Marina is different, you know Rose is different. 590 00:54:45.080 --> 00:54:48.459 Daffodil Tyminski: and I thought it might be kind of interesting to. 591 00:54:48.560 --> 00:54:58.299 Daffodil Tyminski: and give the neighborhoods, maybe like some brand identity. And as we're trying to get money to do, these upgrades have them done in ways that really suit those individual neighborhoods. 592 00:54:59.680 --> 00:55:04.880 Daffodil Tyminski: so I don't have anything specific in mind. I don't know if anyone's even interested in talking about this or doing it. 593 00:55:05.410 --> 00:55:13.379 Daffodil Tyminski: but it is something that I noticed happens around the city. And again, there's like separate pools of funding for that kind of stuff. 594 00:55:15.470 --> 00:55:21.750 Daffodil Tyminski: So think about it. And if you'd like to us to address it, or you think it's something we should talk about. I can put it on 595 00:55:21.970 --> 00:55:23.230 for a future meeting. 596 00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:26.930 Daffodil Tyminski: and similarly. 597 00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:32.470 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, we have an Abbott's Kenny. I have a Kitty Merchant Association. 598 00:55:32.560 --> 00:55:37.340 Daffodil Tyminski: but and there is an Ocean Front Walk association. But we have other business areas 599 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.169 Daffodil Tyminski: that I think could be kind of branded and marketed better like. For example, Washington. 600 00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:47.210 Daffodil Tyminski: Right, Washington, we have a couple of blocks that's very commercial 601 00:55:48.640 --> 00:55:54.049 Daffodil Tyminski: that really could become more of a destination place, or, for example, a long rows 602 00:55:54.230 --> 00:55:56.959 Daffodil Tyminski: right which is developed into its own character. 603 00:55:57.090 --> 00:56:01.730 Daffodil Tyminski: and along with, you know, defining those neighborhoods doing something 604 00:56:01.890 --> 00:56:05.240 Daffodil Tyminski: with the businesses in those neighborhoods to 605 00:56:05.270 --> 00:56:07.259 Daffodil Tyminski: kind of give them a unique identity. 606 00:56:09.680 --> 00:56:13.870 Daffodil Tyminski: So that's something I thought maybe worth working on in Sergio. Same thing with Lincoln. 607 00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:23.519 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, developing these as as kind of niche areas that I think have some cache would be really good for all of us. 608 00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:30.670 Daffodil Tyminski: It's. And you know we basically have that on aviation. But I don't hear people talking about it anywhere else, maybe a little bit on Rose 609 00:56:31.100 --> 00:56:31.859 Sergio Pérez: right? 610 00:56:32.410 --> 00:56:46.570 Daffodil Tyminski: So, anyway, those are just some thoughts I had. And I think again, my, you know, been talking a lot with folks in the Council Office. I do. I was going to actually invite the new deputy, but they are all out today doing something. 611 00:56:46.600 --> 00:56:49.970 Daffodil Tyminski: so I will have her come to one of our upcoming meetings. 612 00:56:50.750 --> 00:56:54.530 Daffodil Tyminski: and just to introduce yourself. And this way you have that point of contact. 613 00:56:55.720 --> 00:56:59.150 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay? Well, that's all. I have it's 100'clock. 614 00:56:59.750 --> 00:57:01.900 Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone have anything else? 615 00:57:03.120 --> 00:57:09.510 Charles Rosin: I just have a question. When will the people who want to be on the Vnc. And who signed up and stuff? When will that be 616 00:57:09.560 --> 00:57:11.890 Charles Rosin: those names be released. 617 00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:21.799 Daffodil Tyminski: or have they been already. 618 00:57:22.490 --> 00:57:23.740 Daffodil Tyminski: It is 619 00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:26.939 the filing for candidacy has ended. 620 00:57:27.240 --> 00:57:35.359 Daffodil Tyminski: and this will be a hybrid election combination of mail-in ballots, and I believe in-person vote at Oakland School. 621 00:57:35.900 --> 00:57:40.160 Daffodil Tyminski: The name should be public on the 622 00:57:41.110 --> 00:57:46.620 Daffodil Tyminski: La City website. I I don't have the exact link, but i'll send it around our email thread. 623 00:57:47.410 --> 00:57:49.729 Darryl DuFay: It was out. Yesterday. 624 00:57:50.530 --> 00:57:52.869 Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, okay, it should be out. 625 00:57:53.190 --> 00:57:59.149 Darryl DuFay: And they did. And they updated the They updated the photos and they 626 00:57:59.220 --> 00:58:04.480 Darryl DuFay: information from the individuals. Also, I think there's 52 people. 627 00:58:04.720 --> 00:58:06.160 Darryl DuFay: Oh, yeah, yeah. 628 00:58:07.040 --> 00:58:08.689 Darryl DuFay: for a number. Yes. 629 00:58:09.550 --> 00:58:10.259 Daffodil Tyminski: yeah. 630 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:12.229 Daffodil Tyminski: that sounds about right. 631 00:58:12.380 --> 00:58:15.319 Daffodil Tyminski: And then I think the 632 00:58:15.410 --> 00:58:19.229 Daffodil Tyminski: election itself, I believe, will occur on March 20, seventh 633 00:58:19.870 --> 00:58:22.240 Daffodil Tyminski: i'll get. I'll double check that date. 634 00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:28.200 Daffodil Tyminski: and that will so you can either vote by mail like you did before, or you can go and vote in person 635 00:58:28.560 --> 00:58:30.169 Daffodil Tyminski: at Oakwood School. 636 00:58:30.580 --> 00:58:36.780 Daffodil Tyminski: My understanding is right now that if you want to vote in person, you have to show that you've been vaccinated. 637 00:58:37.510 --> 00:58:48.009 Daffodil Tyminski: and there is some issue that open school just re-varnished, or Oakwood rec center just re-varnished their floors, and so they don't want people walking in there with shoes on. 638 00:58:48.550 --> 00:58:51.659 Daffodil Tyminski: I think the shoe yeah. 639 00:58:51.770 --> 00:58:52.529 Daffodil Tyminski: I know. 640 00:58:52.740 --> 00:59:02.580 Daffodil Tyminski: I think this is pretty easy to deal with, because I feel like that's just if you go to a real estate open house, and you we could just buy some of those booties to have people put on to keep the floor, so i'm not worried about that. 641 00:59:02.720 --> 00:59:12.290 Daffodil Tyminski: There is some talk, though, about whether it's fair to require the vaccination and and all of that. But that's all way above our pay grade. I think the city is going to make a decision on that. 642 00:59:12.930 --> 00:59:13.759 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 643 00:59:14.700 --> 00:59:21.190 Daffodil Tyminski: If you didn't know somebody that wanted to vote but was not vaccinated, I would encourage them to use the mail and option. 644 00:59:21.490 --> 00:59:25.880 Daffodil Tyminski: and I just found out through text, and I hadn't been keeping my eye on it that 645 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:33.940 Daffodil Tyminski: the caller at 6 9 0 is Yolanda and Yolanda you are. If you can talk on my end, you're permitted to talk. 646 00:59:41.900 --> 00:59:45.130 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay? Well, if you want it can jump in. 647 00:59:45.160 --> 00:59:47.459 Last thing is so. 648 00:59:47.590 --> 00:59:58.370 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, the next few months. So so the effect of the election is going to be that the our election will be in March, but the new board is not going to be seated until July. 649 00:59:58.830 --> 01:00:00.600 Daffodil Tyminski: and 650 01:00:01.660 --> 01:00:06.790 Charles Rosin: well wait a second. Wait a second. What? What's the point of doing that 651 01:00:07.110 --> 01:00:08.069 Daffodil Tyminski: well. 652 01:00:08.560 --> 01:00:19.960 Daffodil Tyminski: The city administers 90 plus neighborhood councils and all of their elections, and Venice has always been last in the cycle, which means we've always had our election in April or May. 653 01:00:20.080 --> 01:00:25.990 Daffodil Tyminski: and we're first this time. 654 01:00:26.630 --> 01:00:35.769 Daffodil Tyminski: It is annoying, but in all honesty it does seem like it's fair, because some places in the valley have never had an election at the end of the cycle. 655 01:00:36.300 --> 01:00:39.999 Daffodil Tyminski: and so there were a lot of complaints in the city just shuffled it up. 656 01:00:41.660 --> 01:00:46.339 Daffodil Tyminski: There was a lot of push back. We all push back to the city, and they said, No, so 657 01:00:48.470 --> 01:00:58.910 Daffodil Tyminski: I think it just kind of is what it is. But even though we'll be a bit of a lame duck board for a while, it doesn't mean that we can't keep having the meetings and get stuff in. Because again 658 01:00:59.500 --> 01:01:02.830 Daffodil Tyminski: I don't sense in this committee. We're ever trying to do anything crazy. 659 01:01:02.870 --> 01:01:08.249 Daffodil Tyminski: just things that are constructive, and I sense that we have a very receptive Council office. 660 01:01:08.380 --> 01:01:10.680 Daffodil Tyminski: So just because, as of 661 01:01:11.940 --> 01:01:16.410 Daffodil Tyminski: March, you know the end of March we'll have a new board and a new Vp. And all of that. 662 01:01:16.530 --> 01:01:19.220 Daffodil Tyminski: We still should keep meeting, I think. 663 01:01:20.140 --> 01:01:26.379 Daffodil Tyminski: and that brings me to. You know we have been meeting in the first week of the month, and now it's the end of the month. 664 01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:33.710 Daffodil Tyminski: If we want to do anything else to get on the February Board agenda we could meet, you know. Go back to the first week and meet 665 01:01:34.180 --> 01:01:35.259 Daffodil Tyminski: next week 666 01:01:36.180 --> 01:01:37.250 Daffodil Tyminski: next Friday. 667 01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:41.160 Daffodil Tyminski: or I'm happy to do it whenever anyone 668 01:01:41.570 --> 01:01:42.569 Daffodil Tyminski: is inclined. 669 01:01:44.460 --> 01:01:45.899 William Wood: So 670 01:01:46.160 --> 01:01:51.030 Charles Rosin: I like an opinion of this committee, if if you think it's important to do or not. 671 01:01:51.110 --> 01:01:52.679 Charles Rosin: The one thing, of course. 672 01:01:52.750 --> 01:02:02.130 Charles Rosin: February is when the California Coastal Commission reconvenes after taking off the month of January, with a new. 673 01:02:03.350 --> 01:02:06.249 Charles Rosin: with a new head, with a new executive director. 674 01:02:06.370 --> 01:02:17.689 Charles Rosin: and I don't know if there's any need or reason that the Venice Neighborhood Council again votes to express themselves on the 675 01:02:17.720 --> 01:02:25.129 Charles Rosin: on the Venice, Median, and the a, and things that are that coastal has found 676 01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:29.490 Charles Rosin: that is frustrating coastal about the developer and the cities 677 01:02:30.040 --> 01:02:33.010 Charles Rosin: behavior in getting their material in. 678 01:02:33.040 --> 01:02:47.139 Charles Rosin: But to is there any, you know, value in having the Vnc. Again state their opposition to the or at least vote on whether there's opposition to having this project go forward. 679 01:02:48.830 --> 01:02:52.910 Charles Rosin: You know there's a lot going on with the median that I don't 680 01:02:53.120 --> 01:03:06.599 Charles Rosin: it's too complicated, and and we'll take much too much time to go through in in the kind of depth that this committee deserves to here. But I i'm wondering is that would be my only reason to want to meet early in February. If we thought that 681 01:03:06.750 --> 01:03:10.919 Charles Rosin: it, there'd be a chance that the Vnc. Would vote on this again. 682 01:03:10.970 --> 01:03:22.300 Charles Rosin: and it's a let coastal know we're just waiting for coastal to a lot of people are waiting for coastal to kill the project. We're going on with our lawsuit, but a lot of people are going 683 01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:24.040 Charles Rosin: the coastal 684 01:03:24.210 --> 01:03:31.669 Charles Rosin: a lot of handwriting on the wall, and I don't know if the Vnc. Weighing in would mean anything, because I know it did once before. 685 01:03:34.790 --> 01:03:39.120 Daffodil Tyminski: So the Coastal Commission is meeting on 686 01:03:39.150 --> 01:03:44.480 Daffodil Tyminski: February 8 ninth, and tenth, and I believe the Venice portion is going on a February eighth. 687 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:48.299 Daffodil Tyminski: so we wouldn't make 688 01:03:48.890 --> 01:03:56.419 Daffodil Tyminski: the with. You know the way the timing of the meetings go. We wouldn't make the that coastal commission meeting, anyway, because our 689 01:03:58.370 --> 01:04:00.749 Daffodil Tyminski: V and C meeting would be occurring after. 690 01:04:00.990 --> 01:04:11.750 Charles Rosin: Okay, I understand we're. We're gonna make a blast out, and anybody who wants to do individually to contact the Coastal Commission, we will have that available for people to do 691 01:04:12.240 --> 01:04:13.689 Daffodil Tyminski: that being said 692 01:04:14.200 --> 01:04:16.949 Daffodil Tyminski: Check, i'm looking at the coastal agenda. 693 01:04:18.540 --> 01:04:21.650 Daffodil Tyminski: and I don't see the medium project on here. 694 01:04:21.850 --> 01:04:28.999 Charles Rosin: Correct. Correct it, would you? It would come under general public, so maybe it would be better to get it into March. Maybe we would do it. 695 01:04:29.090 --> 01:04:30.980 Charles Rosin: you know, later, and 696 01:04:32.010 --> 01:04:38.530 Charles Rosin: or or have it be done after. So it would be submitted for the March 697 01:04:39.100 --> 01:04:40.370 Charles Rosin: agenda. 698 01:04:41.210 --> 01:04:42.049 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 699 01:04:42.650 --> 01:04:45.729 Daffodil Tyminski: we'll think about it and email me. I'm: William. 700 01:04:45.890 --> 01:04:47.120 Daffodil Tyminski: I see your head up. 701 01:04:48.140 --> 01:05:05.819 William Wood: Yeah, no. And you know, I know I've been kind of often on about attending meetings. And and one reason is, you know, like I have a faculty meeting today, right? But, like our faculty meetings, you know, it's always like on a Friday at 1230, you know, whenever it's scheduled. And for me with this, you know, is like 702 01:05:06.250 --> 01:05:11.620 William Wood: whenever it's going to be. If it's going to be the first of the months, the last of the month. I've just, you know. 703 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:16.609 William Wood: put in another plug for like regularity, you know, like 704 01:05:17.290 --> 01:05:32.930 William Wood: Dnc. Meetings right there every whatever Tuesday at a certain time. Just so. That's easier to like plan, and, you know, keep track of things and and calendar and and participate. So that's just, you know, a a another request for 705 01:05:33.090 --> 01:05:34.450 William Wood: consistency. 706 01:05:35.120 --> 01:05:35.910 Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. 707 01:05:36.310 --> 01:05:41.089 Daffodil Tyminski: yeah, I I do agree. And apologies. If they haven't been Sometimes I can't 708 01:05:41.220 --> 01:05:46.259 Daffodil Tyminski: get quorum for the meeting, and so and then things pop up. So i'm 709 01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:50.729 Daffodil Tyminski: trying to address stuff as it comes up that we need to address, but 710 01:05:50.990 --> 01:05:53.149 Daffodil Tyminski: you know, still maintain something. 711 01:05:53.270 --> 01:05:55.820 Daffodil Tyminski: Well, what i'll do is send an email around. 712 01:05:56.160 --> 01:06:06.059 Daffodil Tyminski: and if there's and i'll look around to see if there's any other issues out there. I do think we're going to start to see things in the community moving a little faster with Tracy 713 01:06:06.460 --> 01:06:08.969 Daffodil Tyminski: in office, and so 714 01:06:08.990 --> 01:06:10.439 Daffodil Tyminski: we may have 715 01:06:10.850 --> 01:06:15.990 Daffodil Tyminski: one opportunities, but also a lot more stuff going on that we may want to weigh in on. 716 01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:19.049 Daffodil Tyminski: So okay, anyone else. 717 01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:25.159 Daffodil Tyminski: all right. Why, Don't, we adjourn the meeting. 718 01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:26.850 Daffodil Tyminski: Everyone. Thank you for coming. 719 01:06:28.380 --> 01:06:29.410 Charles Rosin: Thank you. Death. 720 01:06:29.830 --> 01:06:30.649 Daffodil Tyminski: You're welcome. 721 01:06:31.420 --> 01:06:36.380 William Wood: Thank you. Have a good weekend. 722 01:06:36.430 --> 01:06:37.040 Daffodil Tyminski: bye.
