00:14:45.770 --> 00:15:03.060
Mike Applegate: Well, thanks very much. I I am honored and humbled with this opportunity. I have been a Pacific division, as many of you know, as the patrol captain, and with the departure of Captain Embrick and his promotion I have the opportunity to move over to the area side, which obviously has a much bigger

127
00:15:03.780 --> 00:15:15.220
Mike Applegate: Excuse me, much bigger emphasis on connecting with the community, and I look forward to doing that, working with many of you. I've already met many of you, and I look forward to the opportunity going forward

128
00:15:15.310 --> 00:15:30.950
Mike Applegate: to to continue to do that so. Officer Acosta will fill you in with a lot of the recent prime info especially related to Venice, and I can. I can let you know that in general it is looking very good and significantly improved from what we were a year ago.

129
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.420
Mike Applegate: So that is great news. Definitely appreciate you. Your partnership

130
00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:40.400
Mike Applegate: in that and all that officer cost to fill you in on all those details.

131
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.340
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: Thank you.

132
00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:53.630
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: Good evening, yeah, Good evening, everybody, and and Happy New Year to all the people that I haven't spoken to. Yet as of this year, because I know my partner, Monique, I think, handled the last meeting

133
00:15:53.700 --> 00:16:05.640
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: on behalf of capital, Captain Application. I want to congratulate him for being promoted to the area commanding officer. It's a it's a great situation here in that we are getting a commanding officer. The area that

134
00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:14.150
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: is familiar with Pacific, and has been here for, I think, just about a year now. So we're not getting a a quote Unquote outsider.

135
00:16:14.180 --> 00:16:33.070
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: who, you know, will take a few months to get up to speed. Captain Obligate has been here, and has met many of you and a lot of the stakeholders throughout the division. So that's always a plus when when that happens

136
00:16:33.070 --> 00:16:43.200
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: inclusions. But there are some remarkable numbers to speak of, and and I think a lot of that has to do with the success of operation in sight. Safe.

137
00:16:43.270 --> 00:16:58.910
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: We've managed to house a great number of our homeless neighbors throughout Pacific Division more specifically in the area of Third and Rose Third and sunset. Hampton Rose Hampton Sunset around the Bridge home

138
00:16:58.910 --> 00:17:05.369
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: area. My partner officer controller. She's currently seen a 55% reduction

139
00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:20.130
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: overall in violent crime and myself and basic car 13 is seen a 50% reduction. What's most remarkable about that is Monique's area is seen a 47% reduction in aggravated assaults

140
00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:40.140
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: and my area as of today. I have not had a single aggravated assault reported aggravated assault in basic card 13, and and that encompasses a huge area. If you think about the Lincoln corridor, the rose corridor corridor in some of those areas affected by the long standing encampments. And a lot of those crimes

141
00:17:40.310 --> 00:17:55.840
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: we're homeless, related, and they were homeless on homeless and and truly a tragedy. When you think about the the the praying on one on one another, and so getting the those people inside and through operation inside safe has been a a great success, and I think

142
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.620
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: those that have been around the area and live around the area

143
00:17:59.690 --> 00:18:05.300
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: appreciate the efforts. Not only and i'm not. I'm not talking about the lapd, but i'm talking about our partners

144
00:18:05.310 --> 00:18:10.270
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: in Saint Joseph's in Lhasa and La Sanitation. So hats off to them

145
00:18:10.430 --> 00:18:21.540
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: overall Pacific division currently is rain and a 20.2% reduction overall in in part one crime at 29.7%

146
00:18:21.570 --> 00:18:34.470
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: reduction in violent. Crime. So those are always the numbers we want to look at. How do we stack up against the other divisions? Currently pacific is number 3 0verall in violent crime. Reduction

147
00:18:34.540 --> 00:18:38.790
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: and Pacific is number 7 in a property crime.

148
00:18:39.010 --> 00:18:53.170
Ofcr Adrian Acosta: as of now, and number 5 0verall, comparatively to the other divisions; and West Bureau itself, which, pacific as part of, is currently. Second of all of euros with a complete reduction of 10.4%.

149
00:18:53.540 --> 00:18:57.470
I know we don't take questions here in the meeting, but as always.

Hayley Hutt ASM McKinnor: It is open to the public. Any and everyone can attend. We will be preparing the community for the next emergency or disaster. We gotta be on the forefront of being ready. Instead of

216
00:28:27.020 --> 00:28:31.700
Hayley Hutt ASM McKinnor: asking what to do now, after the disaster has already happened. We have

217
00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:34.620
people like

218
00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:53.380
Hayley Hutt ASM McKinnor: Curtis Tucker, and we have the sheriff. We are partnered with the Mayor of Hawthorne, Mayor Bargas. We have a home depot donating emergency preparedness, kits for attendees. We have the hawthorn library attending to read safety books to the students and children that do attend the event.

Hayley Hutt ASM McKinnor: It's going to be fabulous. We hope you all can attend. I know it's on a Saturday from 10 am. T0 12, but we do hope that you take the time out of your day to attend the event.

224
00:29:38.900 --> 00:29:40.210
jim murez: Who else is here?

225
00:29:40.390 --> 00:29:59.210
jim murez: I saw there were some other hands. You've got Ashley, Lizanna from Tracy Park's office. I can. I could go next if that's okay, Sure. Absolutely. Okay. Hello, everybody. Good afternoon. I have a couple of updates to share with you all. To begin with, I wanted to share that. We

226
00:29:59.210 --> 00:30:15.200
Ashley Lozada: push into amend the 41 18 locations, and that is following a 500 feet radius at the following locations, which will now include Ozone Avenue at Ocean Front Walk, Winward Avenue and Ocean front walk, and Washington Boulevard and Ocean Front Walk.

227
00:30:15.210 --> 00:30:24.060
I also have an update on a couple of encampments that a lot of folks have been asking me questions about. To begin with, we have Venice Boulevard.

228
00:30:24.690 --> 00:30:41.560
Ashley Lozada: Well, it should have already been serviced at least once last week, and is on the schedule as the the last location for tomorrow, but due to an internal labor dispute with sanitation, all heavy equipment has been grounded. This has greatly set us back

229
00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:59.460
Ashley Lozada: in catching up with our backlog, and realistically it will most likely not get service tomorrow. So we have requested a shift in resources, so we can address some of the ex's trash and debris this week, but with a comprehensive cleaning scheduled for next Wednesday, where it will be the first and only site that

230
00:30:59.490 --> 00:31:00.580
Ashley Lozada: there is. So

231
00:31:00.810 --> 00:31:13.970
Ashley Lozada: we'll have a thorough clean up a care post clean up next Wednesday. I do want to flag that if it does rain, as you know, it's been cloudy today that that can potentially backlog us again about

232
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:15.210
Ashley Lozada: day.

233
00:31:15.260 --> 00:31:19.360
Ashley Lozada: which is something that's out of our control. But I do want to.

234
00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:31.830
Ashley Lozada: for where, moving on to Speedway and ozone it. It is now a location that is posted every Thursday to be service as part of the Abh site, and we have a.

235
00:31:49.280 --> 00:32:06.930
Ashley Lozada: The past administration did use to take petitions in order to present and counsel the signage postings. We will be going through that route again, and we are taking petitions. If anyone's interested in receiving a blank petition, please feel free to email me, and i'll be happy to share that with you all

236
00:32:06.930 --> 00:32:19.730
Again, legislation is still going through the Transportation Committee on that ends. But we are working with our Rv. Task force to address certain Rvs. Of course we still have legal protocols to follow.

237
00:32:19.730 --> 00:32:35.790
Ashley Lozada: But if there are these who are leaking onto the street have horrible legal dumping, or have caught on fire, which I know that has been the case for a couple in the last couple of weeks, or simply have hazardous material. We can address those with a different process.

238
00:32:37.050 --> 00:32:45.000
Ashley Lozada: and in regards to planning. I did want to give a light update in regards to the lighthouse as of now. I do know that we have

239
00:32:45.270 --> 00:33:03.620
Jim Robb: it to preserve the lighthouse, the Council woman here, as your wishes and respects them, going forward. Our planning team is looking for solutions to preserve it, and as soon as we have more information, I will be happy to share it with you all, and that is my report for tonight. Thank you.

240
00:33:03.620 --> 00:33:06.910
jim murez: We're not. We're not taking questions during this period. Okay.

241
00:33:06.970 --> 00:33:12.210
Jim Robb: Okay, it's the lifeguard tower. Thank you. Yeah, she she reported on that it. And

242
00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:21.430
jim murez: okay, we're not. We don't want to start opening this up for general questions right now. Vicki, Was there anybody else that was still on the list?

243
00:33:22.270 --> 00:33:25.820
Vicki Halliday: Let's see. Freddy is here.

244
00:33:25.990 --> 00:33:33.460
jim murez: Okay, Freddie, Would you like to give your report? I also give a little a short report on on on Rack. But but what about Yolanda? Is she here?

245
00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:36.230
Vicki Halliday: I don't see her on the list.

246
00:33:37.080 --> 00:33:49.990
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): Freddie, would you like to go? Yeah, I'll just keep it very short, because I know there's a lot of items on the agenda

247
00:33:50.010 --> 00:34:10.230
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): of the going back to in person, part pushing it back to possibly April, because we're hoping that City council will allow board and commissions to be able to extend under a B 3 6 0ne, the ability to hold meetings virtually under the declare state of emergency.

248
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:16.600
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): and when you declare it under the declare state of emergency which will be lifted by the State in February, the 20 eighth

249
00:34:16.670 --> 00:34:26.540
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): by the Governor. You have 30 days from that moment in which the city Council allows it, which will allow boards and commissions to make that also determination.

250
00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:28.480
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): And then we're hoping that on

251
00:34:28.520 --> 00:34:39.040
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): February 20, seventh, which is a Monday, and during a special meeting Bonk will vote for that, and allow for an additional 30 days, which will cover up till March 20 ninth

252
00:34:39.090 --> 00:34:55.159
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): for board me to meet virtually until March 29, which is the the last extension to a. B, 3 6 0ne, so that a b 2449 doesn't. Go into effect until maybe March thirtieth or April first.

253
00:34:55.290 --> 00:35:09.040
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): So at least the Ncs. Can still meet virtually, or at least work with city clerk and the department of risk management and department of disability along with our department to ensure that meeting locations can be secured.

254
00:35:09.080 --> 00:35:28.940
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): that the Ada site is is done, that the lease agreement is signed, and that it's been reviewed, and all those process has been done. Our department will be providing more information in the form of information sessions, one happening this Thursday from 6 t0 7 30 Pm.

255
00:35:29.070 --> 00:35:34.990
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): And the the other one is Saturday, February 20, fifth. from one Pm. T0 2 30 Pm.

256
00:35:35.010 --> 00:35:37.800
Both of those information sessions

257
00:35:37.900 --> 00:35:56.870
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): are gonna be great for individuals or board members who want to know what's gonna be happening as we try to transition into the new governance rules that will become effective. March first. But we're hoping that city, council and bunk can pass these special items agenda items

258
00:35:56.870 --> 00:36:11.370
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): that will extend a B, 3 6 0ne, just another, 30 days more to cover the month of March. That is what I want to highlight first and foremost, because it is a fluid aspect. It's a lot of conditionals on that end.

259
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:21.900
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): Another thing. Elections are coming right up so as as the February is closing, March is also coming soon, and that's also for your election.

260
00:36:21.930 --> 00:36:24.900

263

00:37:18.700 --> 00:37:22.570
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): you guys have a wonderful night. I'll be here for as long as I can.

267
00:37:23.530 --> 00:37:36.860
jim murez: Thank you, Freddie Vicki. Do you see the the city clerk's office woman for the elections?

268
00:37:37.470 --> 00:37:54.560
jim murez: I do not.

269
00:37:54.570 --> 00:38:03.560
jim murez: It's all of the West Side neighborhood councils. Basically Some of them are neighborhood councils, and some of them are actually.

270
00:38:05.150 --> 00:38:25.050
jim murez: I don't know they're not called neighborhood councils. They're called something else. They're called Community Council, so I believe, at any rate, it was a very interesting meeting at the meeting occurred last night. There was a a presentation from La dwp from the water folks, and they talked a lot about Mono Lake

271
00:38:25.120 --> 00:38:37.060
jim murez: and the state of emergency at Mono Lake, which is they were claiming, is actually not a state of emergency, and and are asking for the Neighborhood Council to support their position.

272
00:38:37.060 --> 00:38:55.870
jim murez: We have until sometime in March to get letters in. I will be sending out a letter to the Board, and maybe we can put something about the general information on our website that that talks about the support that that La Dwp would like to get, because the folks around Mono Lake

273
00:38:55.900 --> 00:38:58.070
jim murez: are trying to prevent

274
00:38:58.170 --> 00:39:07.010
jim murez: the city of Los Angeles for being able to to to take water out of the lake for for our water uses, and if that were t0 0ccur.

275
00:39:07.010 --> 00:39:19.330
jim murez: the presentation that they made said that, and I don't know this for personally, but but they were saying that that our rates will then be affected because they will have to be buying more water from the Colorado River.

276
00:39:19.690 --> 00:39:33.380
jim murez: and and that's pretty much what what there were. There were no particular new motions yesterday that that needed to to come to to the Vnc. To be voted on. But it was basically that presentation.

277
00:39:33.410 --> 00:39:35.070
jim murez: So that'd be my update.

278
00:39:36.910 --> 00:39:41.550
jim murez: since there are n0 0ther government reports, let's move on to committee chair reports.

279
00:39:41.580 --> 00:39:53.260
jim murez: budget and finance. I will. We will pass over you because you usually give your report. J: During the Treasurer's report time.

285
00:40:09.990 --> 00:40:22.070
Jim Robb: Yeah, we're trying to put a meeting together and talk about the Skate Park and the Olympics. We talk, want to talk about the doing an arch over the Venice pier, so that people know what's going on at the

286
00:40:22.100 --> 00:40:34.410
Jim Robb: here. It's like Santa Monica here. also talking with the with the people about the Lifeguard Tower headquarters. and looking to do some stuff to try to

287
00:40:34.620 --> 00:40:44.570
Jim Robb: promote getting some events and stuff building the boardwalk, so we can look very pretty for the Olympics in 2,028, so I will have one last meeting

288
00:40:44.650 --> 00:40:46.950
Jim Robb: as the ocean. But walk

Jim Robb: Okay, 5 months. I have more than one.

292
00:40:58.160 --> 00:41:03.170
jim murez: I'll have more than one meeting, all right. Good. But do you have a tentative date yet.

293
00:41:03.490 --> 00:41:06.090
Jim Robb: I'm working on it with Brian.

294
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:10.140
jim murez: What else was I gonna say? That's good.

295
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:22.070
Jim Robb: I I wish some of these people would, when they talk about the ocean front, walk, board walk that they would reach out to the chair of the ocean front walk. That would be very helpful. But I will contact Ashley myself.

296
00:41:27.730 --> 00:41:31.030
jim murez: Outreach. Do you have anything coming up that you'd like to share with us?

321
00:44:41.150 --> 00:44:42.950
so that'll be Thursday night.

322
00:44:43.120 --> 00:44:49.080
Michael Jensen: and we're going to be discussing more

323
00:44:49.090 --> 00:44:56.170
Michael Jensen: commercial corridor projects, and hopefully some some larger land use planning issues. So please attend.

324
00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:06.550
Michael Jensen: And i'd also like to, just because there are people that I think are here for cases that are going to be pulled. If we could just let them know that those cases are not going forward. Is that all right.

325
00:45:06.710 --> 00:45:14.080
jim murez: Yeah, do you have the do? You have the item numbers on the

326
00:45:14.890 --> 00:45:22.720
Michael Jensen: and I'm sure that there are people I know, the neighbors, probably on here that is going to be continued to the March meeting.

327
00:45:23.020 --> 00:45:34.460
Michael Jensen: and then 1,935 will all grow. That was heard in January. So you can just take that off. I don't know whether anyone is here for that tonight. but I did just want to pull those off so that we don't

328
00:45:34.490 --> 00:45:42.930
jim murez: waste anyone's time. Thank you. Okay, Thank you, Vicki. I just got a text from somebody asking to promote Barry.

329
00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:46.570
jim murez: for I believe that would probably be for the Arbor Committee.

330
00:45:47.080 --> 00:45:51.120
jim murez: I don't know if you see.

331
00:45:53.150 --> 00:46:01.210
Vicki Halliday: Thank you. Okay. And Melissa has been here, Jim. She comes out of the room and is declining all promotions. Now.

332
00:46:01.500 --> 00:46:05.000
Vicki Halliday: Melissa, i'm sorry. Who? Melissa? Okay.

333
00:46:06.300 --> 00:46:09.480
jim murez: I'm not sure. Why, Michael, did you have something else? Your hand was still up.

334
00:46:11.230 --> 00:46:12.480
jim murez: Okay, Thank you.

335
00:46:14.500 --> 00:46:17.060
jim murez: Parking and transportation is Robert back.

336
00:46:19.200 --> 00:46:23.470
jim murez: I got a text from him that he had to step away. His mother had just gotten in a car accident.

337
00:46:25.110 --> 00:46:33.100
jim murez: I'm not sure if he's back yet we'll come back if he is, if he shows up is Barry or somebody here from the Arbor Committee. I assume it's probably Berry.

338
00:46:33.640 --> 00:46:43.750
Isabelle Duvivier: Yes, Hi, yeah, Hi. Can you? Can you share screen with me, or can you let me share screen for Barry's presentation?

339
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:53.160
jim murez: Is it a fairly fast presentation?

340
00:46:55.210 --> 00:46:57.540
jim murez: Okay, that should allow you to share. Go ahead.

341
00:46:59.750 --> 00:47:11.790
Isabelle Duvivier: And, Isabel, you want to Just You're You're with the Arbor Committee. Right? Yeah. So Barry is one of our board members, so she's gonna give you a really quick little tutorial on trimming

342
00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:19.650
Barry Campion: trees. So Hi! Can you all hear me

343
00:47:19.700 --> 00:47:32.430
Barry Campion: landscape designer? I've had a design build company here in Venice, but i'm retired now. I've lived in Venice since 1,982 and East Venice.

344
00:47:32.560 --> 00:47:50.110
Barry Campion: so i'd like to address the issue of badly prune trees. So you can see the illustration here in our gardens and parkways. I'm sure all of you have seen badly pruned or butchered trees. Often they're topped or tortured into shapes that make us cringe.

345
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:55.730
Barry Campion: And so the question is, why should we care if a tree is properly pruned.

346
00:47:56.120 --> 00:48:09.930
Barry Campion: If we care about the presence that a beautiful tree gives us its shade, its leafy canopy. the habitat it provides for birds and other creatures, and the privacy it often creates from other properties, then we should care.

347
00:48:10.490 --> 00:48:17.000
Barry Campion: When a tree is badly pruned, it is lost, its structure, its shape, its integrity, its beauty.

348
00:48:17.240 --> 00:48:29.240
Barry Campion: it is often so damaged it can never really recover. And you, the homeowners, suffer the consequences, ie. No shade, no privacy. no lovely canopy, no happy birds.

349
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:37.970
Barry Campion: So if you don't take care of your trees, they won't take care of you. If you want to prune your tree, it's good to know why you're pruning it

350
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:42.130
Barry Campion: More sunlight improve your view. A tree has gotten too big

351
00:48:42.430 --> 00:48:56.580
Barry Campion: to address these issues. You need to hire a certified arrest or someone whose work you've seen and can trust. Most uninsured trees. Services are not trained, and in all likelihood will damage your trees.

352
00:48:57.190 --> 00:49:10.800
Barry Campion: Trees should generally be structure cut for the first 5 years after planning ideally. Once the structure is set and done properly, the remaining pruding should be limited to remove dead disease, damage, or misshapen branches.

353
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:19.020
Barry Campion: There is much more to say, of course, about how to prune trees, but for the 2 min I hope this has been helpful. Thank you for your time.

354
00:49:20.270 --> 00:49:21.620
jim murez: Yes, thank you.

355
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:26.330
Isabelle Duvivier: thank you.

356
00:49:27.110 --> 00:49:32.710
jim murez: You're very welcome. It's always the Arbor Committee meets. How often are you meeting now? Every Saturday

357
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:40.840
Isabelle Duvivier: we meet every Saturday, from 8 t0 10 somewhere in Venice.

358
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:57.270
Isabelle Duvivier: It's it's a last minute decision based on what's happening in the world around us. I believe this week we're meeting at the farmers market. But it's not clear. If you're interested you should get on our Instagram or email us, and you'll get on a group text.

359
00:49:57.770 --> 00:50:02.330
jim murez: Very good. Thank you, Isabel. Do appreciate it. Look forward to seeing you out there again on Saturday

360
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.460
discussion. Forum is Joe Murphy around?

361
00:50:06.810 --> 00:50:12.370
Vicki Halliday: I do not see him in the audience, Jim.

362
00:50:12.420 --> 00:50:17.890
Vicki Halliday: from preserving public places.

363
00:50:18.610 --> 00:50:19.590
Vicki Halliday: Hold on!

364
00:50:21.140 --> 00:50:23.930
Vicki Halliday: She was there now. She's gone.

365
00:50:27.160 --> 00:50:28.600
Vicki Halliday: Oh, it's a ch

366
00:50:29.100 --> 00:50:32.130
Vicki Halliday: All done, Robin. You moved on. Me.

367
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:36.570
Vicki Halliday: Go ahead, Robin.

368
00:50:36.680 --> 00:50:39.640
Robin Murez: Hi, good evening, everyone. So

369
00:50:40.270 --> 00:50:53.090
Robin Murez: we'll be speaking on what we we've got a funding proposal up that you all will be hearing. And then we also submitted the item that Lupeck will be hearing regarding

370
00:50:53.160 --> 00:51:04.180
Robin Murez: the Lifeguard tower de minimis waiver that is based on erroneous information. So I hope you all will be interested in those 2 things. They, I think, are quite important.

371
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:17.500
Robin Murez: I keep getting contacted by people who do have concerns about public places. So anyone who's interested in helping out. Please do reach out to us. We've got plenty to

372
00:51:17.670 --> 00:51:21.710
Robin Murez: work on, and we would love to have everyone involved. That's all.

373
00:51:22.210 --> 00:51:29.730
jim murez: Thank you. Okay, so that concludes the committees, with the exception of Michael Lynde. Is he here.

374
00:51:31.570 --> 00:51:40.100
jim murez: Vicki? Do we see? Michael and I just looked and do not see Michael, when he had another meeting. He'll be coming.

375
00:51:40.180 --> 00:51:44.380
Ivan: Okay? Well, we'll we'll come back to him when he's available. Thank you. Ivan. Okay.

376
00:52:00.140 --> 00:52:09.350
jim murez: that that it it the way that we had put it on the agenda. It was put on in adcom without being agendized ahead of time.

377
00:52:09.370 --> 00:52:16.140
jim murez: It was added abruptly. There was some discussion about it. Anybody wants to hear more about it. It's.

378
00:52:16.340 --> 00:52:34.970
jim murez: you know, recorded, and it's on the website. I took it off of this location on the agenda, and the candidates will have an opportunity to speak in public comment. And we're gonna bifurcate item number 35, which is the Board

379
00:52:34.970 --> 00:53:02.530
jim murez: Members get a chance to to discuss items that are not on the agenda. We're going to bring that all the way up to directly after public comment. and the Board members who are candidates will get an opportunity to speak for the equal amount of time, is public comment 1 min, hopefully. Nobody has to take a minute to say hello they are, and what position they're running for. But everybody gets the same equal time, and that'll occur later in the agenda in just a couple of minutes. So if everybody can hang on to hear those

380
00:53:02.530 --> 00:53:04.080
a candidate

381
00:53:04.190 --> 00:53:07.220
jim murez: introductions, we'll move into that

382
00:53:10.720 --> 00:53:14.420
jim murez: It's really not clear, as Freddy explained.

383
00:53:14.510 --> 00:53:30.860
jim murez: about whether or not. We're going. Live in March for the meetings or not. It has to do with the State, and it has to do with the Brown act. It has to do with the city being able to to. They do have a 30 day grace period

384
00:53:30.860 --> 00:53:45.380
jim murez: through an assembly bill that was that was passed some time back. It's not clear whether or not any of these things are going to happen at this point. We're planning on going back to Westminster Elementary school, which is on Avid Kenny into the main auditorium room in March.

385
00:53:45.470 --> 00:53:52.490
jim murez: If there's a change to that schedule, we'll be posting that on our agenda as soon as we are in our excuse me, on our website, as soon as we find that out.

386
00:53:54.150 --> 00:54:04.790
jim murez: and the city has dropped At this point all of the previous Covid restrictions about having to have everybody be vaccinated, or show proof of vaccination within the last.

387
00:54:04.860 --> 00:54:21.740
jim murez: whatever it was, 24 h or something. So that's not going to be an issue any longer, either. other than that I'm still seeking somebody that would like to. Perhaps one of our community officers would like to take on rules and selections. We have several items that we would still like to get covered before the

388
00:54:21.750 --> 00:54:23.490

402
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:21.330
Lisa Redmond: You have

403
00:56:21.520 --> 00:56:27.370
Lisa Redmond: Zack best voted when he shouldn't have been voting on any

404
00:56:27.500 --> 00:56:31.550
events because he has taken no training whatsoever.

405
00:56:31.660 --> 00:56:44.320
Lisa Redmond: And then you also have. Robert Tibeto voted on the funding measure, and his funding expiration came about in late September, and he is not re update unless he did it in the last couple of days.

406
00:56:44.330 --> 00:56:45.910

00:57:12.280 --> 00:57:13.660

412
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:16.510

00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:49.980
jim murez: Yes, in light of the comments made by Lisa, I'd like to remind you that someone has taken no training didn't. Take

417
00:57:50.540 --> 00:58:01.200
Helen Fallon: ethics, code of conduct, you know, funding, etc., is automatically suspended. So your minutes need to reflect that they aren't even an intent at a meeting.

418
00:58:05.820 --> 00:58:06.680
Helen Fallon: How to you.

419
00:58:09.180 --> 00:58:10.130
jim murez: Thank you.

420
00:58:12.120 --> 00:58:14.000
melissa diner : I don't see anyone else, Jim.

421
00:58:14.150 --> 00:58:19.410
jim murez: Okay. let's go ahead and close public comment.

422
00:58:21.430 --> 00:58:28.910
jay handal: Does anybody on the board Have comment, chase your hands up. Go ahead, please. Yeah. I'd like to ask Freddie a question. Please

423
00:58:29.160 --> 00:58:32.620
jim murez: go for it. I I assume this has to do with this item.

424
00:58:32.670 --> 00:58:43.830
jay handal: It it past. Yeah, it has to do with the the voting and funding and ethics and everything else

425
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:45.720
jay handal: depending upon what

426
00:58:46.020 --> 00:59:01.720
jay handal: item you don't take what you are not allowed to vote on, please; and if there is a code of conduct not signed, I believe, after 30 days you get suspended, but that is suspended by the department. Not by the board.

427
00:59:01.720 --> 00:59:06.440
jay handal: Can you? Can you clarify everything for everybody, please? So we have proper data.

428
00:59:06.670 --> 00:59:14.130
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): of course, I think. Thank you. J: so Board members have 3 required trainings to complete

429
00:59:14.210 --> 00:59:17.230
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): ethics, funding code of conduct.

430
00:59:17.420 --> 00:59:20.100
If the Board member has

431
00:59:20.130 --> 00:59:23.200
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): either missing or expired

432
00:59:23.370 --> 00:59:26.200
ethics and or funding

433
00:59:26.540 --> 00:59:31.350
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): training, they are in eligible to vote on any funding items.

434
00:59:32.090 --> 00:59:33.350
If

435
00:59:33.520 --> 00:59:37.380
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): they are missing or have expired code of conduct.

436
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:42.210
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): they are ineligible to vote on any item

437
00:59:42.300 --> 00:59:52.730
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): now the under the code of conduct for the signature, which is 2 min to read and to sign a date, if it's not completed within a certain time period

438
00:59:52.860 --> 00:59:56.860
the Board Member will get a letter of suspension

439
00:59:57.340 --> 01:00:00.230
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): from the Department under the code of Conduct.

440
01:00:00.570 --> 01:00:06.610
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): That Board member will be considered, not counting towards quorum, and ineligible to vote

441
01:00:06.940 --> 01:00:20.460
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): if the Board member does not complete their code of conduct 30 days after their notice. Our letter of suspension by the Department, according to the code of conduct, they will get a letter of removal

442
01:00:20.550 --> 01:00:25.270
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): which will then remove them as a board member under the code of conduct per the policy.

443
01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:35.980
and that is for not completing or signing the code of conduct by completing your the the training which is reading that document, signing, and dating it, which takes about 5 min.

444
01:00:37.430 --> 01:00:49.980
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): Those are the 3 trainings that are required normally. In the beginning of the month I email the Executive Board of the board which board members have missing, expired, or soon to expire training.

445
01:00:50.020 --> 01:00:52.500
so at the very least, board members

446
01:00:52.560 --> 01:01:03.520
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): could try to complete the training as best as possible. Now, what's being screen shared? Here is also a fourth train, which is the anti-bias training

447
01:01:03.570 --> 01:01:09.350
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): currently under council, file, 21 0 9 9 0.

448
01:01:09.410 --> 01:01:20.650
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): This is what's being considered for neighbor councils as another required training. Currently, it is not a required training, but it is a beneficial training for board members

449
01:01:21.770 --> 01:01:26.560
who would like to be able to understand anti bias.

450
01:01:26.730 --> 01:01:32.450
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): Now there's an additional training for planning and land use members which is the planning 101 training.

451
01:01:32.620 --> 01:01:46.330
Freddy Cupen-Ames (He/Him/His/El): and that is a once and done kind of training. So if you are part of the planning, planning and land use committee, we will get you access to planning on one of planning one on one training through the city clerk, so you can complete it

452
01:01:46.340 --> 01:01:57.270
jay handal: and be ready to vote on planning and land use items that can be brought forth before the board. So, unless i'm completely off base.

453
01:01:57.390 --> 01:02:03.190
Zach best is the only one who currently is not allowed to vote on anything

454
01:02:04.370 --> 01:02:11.010
jim murez: that's correct, from what I understood, and he has not yet shown up to this evening's meeting, so

455
01:02:11.140 --> 01:02:13.520
jay handal: it it's a moot point for right now.

456
01:02:13.690 --> 01:02:22.400
jay handal: Right? I just. I just want to call. Thank you for pointing that out. J. I think that clarifies it for everyone in the audience as Well, as for all the Board members.

460
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:42.670
jim murez: Anybody that wasn't here for the meetings obviously should not be voting on this. Let's go ahead and take a vote. Now.

533
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:18.149
Lisa Redmond: $778, $600 with approval. Water bottles. We ended up spending close t0 $800.

534
01:08:18.229 --> 01:08:23.000
Lisa Redmond: And then we also spent 700 0n dollar tree for

535
01:08:23.260 --> 01:08:27.720
Lisa Redmond: necklaces that were not branded, and were never approved

536
01:08:28.020 --> 01:08:45.620
Lisa Redmond: as I see it. We've already spent 31 close t0 3200 0n that lighting. You still haven't gotten the receipts for any advertising or outreach, let alone the cookies haven't come in. But again, why did we spend money on dollar free? That wasn't

537
01:08:45.710 --> 01:08:54.270
Lisa Redmond: acceptable and as well? Yes, the November bac is also wrong as well, and I think I pretty much caught

538
01:08:54.710 --> 01:08:55.990
Lisa Redmond: what Helen Didn't say.

539
01:08:56.149 --> 01:08:57.479

01:09:00.080 --> 01:09:03.040
Okay, Nick. And tele cello go ahead.

541
01:09:05.609 --> 01:09:16.010
Nick Antonicello: Yeah, I I just wanted to make a point that the bike lines were, in fact, at the sidelining. I personally hand them out. so I don't know

542
01:09:16.540 --> 01:09:22.149
Nick Antonicello: why Lisa fix that. They were in a big box that we had at the event.

543
01:09:22.300 --> 01:09:31.500
Nick Antonicello: We gave most of them away. and as far as the water bottle there was a a good amount that were left over the big item was the

544
01:09:31.779 --> 01:09:34.529
Nick Antonicello: Christmas lights that the kids your life. So

545
01:09:34.770 --> 01:09:40.300
Nick Antonicello: just to clarify, we did, in fact, have the bike light at the sidelines.

546
01:09:45.120 --> 01:09:46.319
Chie: Thank you, Nick.

547
01:09:48.540 --> 01:09:50.930

551
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:27.790

552
01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:42.090
jim murez: We're a very popular item, and I think that it's a wonderful item, but it it. She is correct in that I I did see the the bicycle lights as well. But Nick Nick referred to. S0 0kay.

Robin Murez: Bye.

602
01:13:37.510 --> 01:13:38.240
melissa diner : Hello.

603
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:40.140
jim murez: Robin, go ahead.

604
01:13:41.020 --> 01:13:44.610
melissa diner : Okay, it wasn't. There you are. Go ahead.

605
01:13:44.730 --> 01:13:51.700
Robin Murez: I'd like to do a screen share. Let's see. You should be able to do that. Let me start on my desktop.

606
01:13:51.800 --> 01:13:58.710
Robin Murez: and I think let's see if how I do this. The open system preferences to do it.

607
01:13:58.770 --> 01:14:06.510
jim murez: No, it's down at the bottom of the screen of the zoom.

608
01:14:06.520 --> 01:14:13.410
Robin Murez: Oh, it's saying, I can't do. Huh! I can't do my desktop.

609
01:14:15.510 --> 01:14:20.560
Robin Murez: Oh. can you see this now? Shucks!

610
01:14:23.280 --> 01:14:26.610
jim murez: You! You have it opening your browser in some other program.

611
01:14:26.620 --> 01:14:28.860
Robin Murez: Yeah, I have it right on my screen.

612
01:14:29.100 --> 01:14:33.910
jim murez: So then you click on the share screen icon down at the bottom of the zoom window

613
01:14:35.090 --> 01:14:40.350
jim murez: and you click on the picture that looks like the screen that you want to share.

614
01:14:43.170 --> 01:14:50.270
Robin Murez: Okay, so the picture looks like desktop one. No, wouldn't that be, and it's somehow putting an alert there.

615
01:14:50.420 --> 01:14:56.690
Robin Murez: And then it comes up with the Allow Zoom: to share your screen open system.

616
01:14:56.740 --> 01:14:58.460
Robin Murez: Okay? And then.

617
01:14:59.540 --> 01:15:04.500
Robin Murez: Oh, gee! I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with how to do this.

618
01:15:04.670 --> 01:15:08.230
So now I've got this screen recording coming up.

619
01:15:09.890 --> 01:15:10.710
Robin Murez: Hmm.

620
01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:20.840
Robin Murez: Yeah. Oh, let's see if

621
01:15:22.450 --> 01:15:24.410
Robin Murez: on.

622
01:15:32.370 --> 01:15:34.210
Robin Murez: Oh, my goodness.

623
01:15:35.420 --> 01:15:51.720
Robin Murez: Well, can you do it by speaking about what you want to do?

624
01:15:51.880 --> 01:16:10.030
Robin Murez: Provide anything? Yes. 0 0n the link. Well, that provides the app the the cip that we submitted. Did you want me t0 0pen the app? The the pocket sites.com software I think it'd be better if you just open the cip that we submitted.

625
01:16:10.370 --> 01:16:11.580
jim murez: Okay.

626
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:15.630
Robin Murez: and

627
01:16:15.750 --> 01:16:22.620
Robin Murez: oh, so and so you have to scroll through it. Okay. So keep scrolling down several pages so

628
01:16:23.490 --> 01:16:41.830
Robin Murez: and just go down to where there's a picture. There we go. Stop before that. So what this is is it's a walking tour app for Venice, and a number of committees have said that they would like to be able to create walking tours, whether it be our committee would put on historic places. Other committees might put

629
01:16:41.830 --> 01:16:48.850
Robin Murez: contemporary architecture, public art facilities, ocean front walk

630
01:16:48.980 --> 01:16:54.080
Robin Murez: places, and information. And so what this is is it's a.

631
01:16:54.200 --> 01:17:01.080
Robin Murez: An app that exists. It's been around for about 8 0r 10 years. It's called pocket sites that

632
01:17:01.560 --> 01:17:14.240
Robin Murez: it? It works on your cell phone, or you can also pull it up on a computer. It's a very easy drag and drop process. So the screen you're looking at right now shows how one creates

633
01:17:14.240 --> 01:17:21.930
Robin Murez: a tour, so you can easily just drop a PIN on the map. And then, Jim, if you'll scroll down to the next picture.

634
01:17:22.160 --> 01:17:32.890
Robin Murez: That shows how, with dragging and dropping, we can put in information that is the name of a point of interest we can submit. Then we

635
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:43.580
Robin Murez: text information about it, audio recordings and video recordings and links t0 0ther things and photographs, so

636
01:17:43.580 --> 01:17:55.630
Robin Murez: i'm sorry that I couldn't pull up the video that we did. It shows it really nicely as how, when you're walking around with your cell phone. It works on GPS and

637
01:17:56.180 --> 01:18:09.220
Robin Murez: can then show you anything that's around where you are, or you could follow just one of these specific tours. I think it's something that, as I said, a number of committees have suggested, they'd like to do. The

638
01:18:09.460 --> 01:18:29.370
Robin Murez: there's a parks map that Joe Murphy's committee that Paul Davis has put together, and they would like this because they're right. Now, just working with a flat map. This enables one to put pictures in, put it description so they could show which parks have playground equipment, and which are how you know other things.

639
01:18:29.370 --> 01:18:37.970
Robin Murez: Ocean front walk obviously has a lot of places that would be great. For this it also tabulates

640
01:18:38.410 --> 01:18:45.160
Robin Murez: information that of how many users have gone on it that kind of thing. It would be free to the public non commercial.

641
01:18:45.420 --> 01:18:46.830
Robin Murez: and

642
01:18:46.950 --> 01:19:01.190
Robin Murez: we can have multiple committees uploading information. The cost of it is 49 95 one per month, and it can be terminated at any time.

643
01:19:01.250 --> 01:19:03.780
Robin Murez: and I think that gives

644
01:19:04.320 --> 01:19:11.330
Robin Murez: a basic overview. Sorry I couldn't do the video, and I would like to take questions and respond to any that the public or the

645
01:19:11.350 --> 01:19:12.440
Robin Murez: the board have.

646
01:19:13.080 --> 01:19:14.580
jim murez: Okay.

647
01:19:14.870 --> 01:19:17.810
jim murez: we'll hold off on that.

648
01:19:17.860 --> 01:19:25.960
jim murez: That's the the item. Melissa. Let me see. I gotta get back to my

649
01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:32.860
melissa diner : i'll see if there's any public comment.

650
01:19:35.020 --> 01:19:42.010
Helen Fallon: Yeah, I think this is a very interesting concept and a great way for the Bmc. To promote itself. So I urge you to support it.

651
01:19:43.590 --> 01:19:44.700
melissa diner : Thanks.

652
01:19:47.270 --> 01:19:49.380
melissa diner : At least the red men go ahead.

653
01:19:52.280 --> 01:19:56.080
Lisa Redmond: Yeah, I think this is a good idea as well

654
01:19:56.480 --> 01:20:11.160
Lisa Redmond: and smart. But I think the question needs to be answered is, are we, you know, in perpetuity, going to be spending 49 99 a month, or is the board going to commit to spending for a year at a time.

655
01:20:11.210 --> 01:20:25.380
Lisa Redmond: What about the answer? What about questions about updates? And can they be implemented easily as well as what? If the company goes down so.

656
01:20:25.670 --> 01:20:30.140
Lisa Redmond: But that's a a lesser issue. I think the bigger issue is the budget, the financing.

657
01:20:30.340 --> 01:20:33.170
Lisa Redmond: and what's how that's going to be applied. Thank you.

658
01:20:34.540 --> 01:20:35.230
melissa diner : Thanks.

659
01:20:40.890 --> 01:20:45.280
melissa diner : Nick Anton. A cello. Go ahead.

660
01:20:50.070 --> 01:20:50.770
melissa diner : Nick.

661
01:20:51.980 --> 01:20:53.270
Nick Antonicello: I don't have my hair, though.

662
01:20:53.850 --> 01:20:57.610
melissa diner : Oh, you do. I'll lower it.

663
01:21:00.970 --> 01:21:03.140
melissa diner : Okay. that's it, Jim.

664
01:21:03.250 --> 01:21:14.760

667
01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:29.440
jim murez: Is that a puppet or something?

668
01:21:29.510 --> 01:21:32.100
melissa diner : No, i'm not repeating what it says.

669
01:21:32.630 --> 01:21:35.150
Robin Murez: By the way, you able to see my screen now?

670
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:36.270
jim murez: No.

671
01:21:37.490 --> 01:21:38.530
melissa diner : go ahead.

672
01:21:39.010 --> 01:21:41.740

Thank you. He'll

675
01:21:55.070 --> 01:21:59.180
n: Jesus! What's the problem, James?

676
01:21:59.270 --> 01:22:02.730
n: I know you're a

677
01:22:03.190 --> 01:22:09.530
n: I know you can't win an election a real one. But Jesus don't take it out on a little animal.

678
01:22:09.640 --> 01:22:12.740
n: I just a little animal with the tail on horns.

679

n: It's terrible Exactly. Exactly. And again, Yes, finally, the fucking clock is moving.

680
01:22:21.150 --> 01:22:22.370
and, as you know.

681
01:22:22.780 --> 01:22:27.470
n: of course you have to promote this in a way that tricks people into joining.

682
01:22:28.980 --> 01:22:32.100
n: Do people want to know what really happens here?

683
01:22:32.420 --> 01:22:42.470
n: Or do you want to make an infomercial like the way they do it on Wall Street. Come on in little new board members.

684
01:22:42.590 --> 01:22:53.100
n: and yes, of course. Did you see what they just did? They violated my vain act right by changing my fucking name that I signed up with. Sorry

685
01:22:53.220 --> 01:23:05.290
n: you see what you guys do. You call it yourselves volunteers? You're not volunteers. Your blog shirts. Masquerading is volunteers

686
01:23:05.810 --> 01:23:15.790
n: at least the brown shirts. At least they did it for one reason they were anti Semites. If they didn't, they'd be sent to the Russian front.

687
01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:32.310
jim murez: If you do that again, I'm going to remove you from the meeting. I want that to be very clear. If you unmute yourself without being called on. I will remove you from the meeting for being disruptive.

688
01:23:34.100 --> 01:23:36.000
Michael Jensen: The you can disable talking.

689
01:23:36.530 --> 01:23:37.290
jim murez: Yup.

690
01:23:40.080 --> 01:23:46.840
Julie Bean: Hi, Thank you. I just wanted to. Is it okay for me to speak now? It's Julie Bean.

691
01:23:47.110 --> 01:23:47.970
jim murez: No.

692
01:23:48.030 --> 01:23:57.020
Julie Bean: Oh, Julie and your public. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I just. I just wanted to say, I think it's a great idea for a walking app like that.

693
01:23:57.180 --> 01:24:01.690
I think it's special when you visit other places, and you can

694
01:24:01.750 --> 01:24:07.640
Julie Bean: see what kind of cool thing happened in in one area or another, and I think it will draw people

695
01:24:07.740 --> 01:24:12.810
Julie Bean: closer to local businesses. And I just think whatever

696
01:24:13.210 --> 01:24:16.400
Julie Bean: brings people more together is awesome. Thank you, Robin

697
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:21.670
jim murez: Melissa. Do we have any other hands up?

698
01:24:29.050 --> 01:24:30.630
jim murez: Did we lose Melissa?

699
01:24:32.910 --> 01:24:38.770
melissa diner : Oh, sorry I I was talking to myself. The phone number of it ending in 6 9 0, go ahead.

700
01:24:44.830 --> 01:24:45.820
melissa diner : Hmm!

701
01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:50.450
melissa diner : 6 9 0, phone number. Go ahead.

702
01:24:52.500 --> 01:24:56.670
melissa diner : They they're not there. I or for more. Go ahead.

703
01:25:02.690 --> 01:25:04.150
melissa diner : Erica more. Go ahead.

704
01:25:04.480 --> 01:25:08.630
Erica Moore: Hi, there! I just wanted to say I think it's a great idea, too.

705
01:25:08.690 --> 01:25:18.660
Erica Moore: and I was wondering if Robin, if you thought about maybe talking to Christina with the who's creating the Venice Heritage Museum, because maybe it'd be great to

706
01:25:18.860 --> 01:25:21.590
get some of the things that they're highlighting and

707
01:25:21.670 --> 01:25:25.140
Erica Moore: be able to acknowledge those on there about some of the areas.

708
01:25:25.170 --> 01:25:42.680
Erica Moore: because it sounds like it's something that could be used for real time, and then have some historical value to to share about. And you might have said this: i'm sorry if you did, but to share about what has occurred in those areas, or how it has transformed over the years, or you know something significant

709
01:25:42.850 --> 01:25:47.570
Erica Moore: about it. But I I appreciate you wanting to preserve a lot of

710
01:25:48.040 --> 01:25:55.420
Erica Moore: things about Venice, and I and I like the fact that we could have more information, especially because there's so many visitors to them. Thank you so much.

711
01:25:55.490 --> 01:25:59.150
melissa diner : Thanks. Sarah Waters. Go ahead.

712
01:26:02.070 --> 01:26:17.950
Sarah Wauters: Hi! I just wanted to say that I very much support this project as well, and I do think that it's a real benefit for both residents and visitors to Venice, because there's so much to know about this area that isn't immediately

713
01:26:18.150 --> 01:26:26.340
Sarah Wauters: apparent when you're walking around. So I wanted to congratulate Robin on a great idea, and I want to urge the Board to support it.

714
01:26:27.970 --> 01:26:29.000
melissa diner : Thank you.

715
01:26:29.850 --> 01:26:33.670
melissa diner : I'll try this one person one more time, 6 9 0,

716
01:26:34.240 --> 01:26:35.790
melissa diner : phone number. Go ahead.

717
01:26:45.240 --> 01:26:48.060
melissa diner : Yeah, she's not there. That's it, Jim.

718
01:26:48.190 --> 01:26:57.840
jim murez: All right, Thank you. Let's go ahead and close public comment and let me move over to board, comment, Vicki, you had your hand up first.

719
01:26:59.250 --> 01:27:05.730
Vicki Halliday: You have to unmute.

720
01:27:05.810 --> 01:27:09.550
Vicki Halliday: and the idea for this app comes out of an AD hoc committee

721
01:27:10.850 --> 01:27:25.780
Vicki Halliday: which would have the committee itself has to be renewed with a new board. Come, July, what are the provisions for? Who's gonna manage this app? Who's in charge of it? What standing committee is in charge of it.

722
01:27:25.790 --> 01:27:32.150
Vicki Halliday: or what board Member I that's not been covered, and it could just be go away

723
01:27:32.250 --> 01:27:38.680
Vicki Halliday: if this AD hoc committee is not renewed. So just that technical question. Thank you.

724
01:27:39.240 --> 01:27:46.460
Okay, I think it was a 30 day every 30 days. It it it has to be renewed. Anyway, I mean it has by by paying the bill.

725
01:27:46.650 --> 01:27:52.290
jim murez: So if no committee wanted to take it on, I would presume that that

726
01:27:52.340 --> 01:28:03.220
jim murez: if if nobody wanted to take it on. I think by now there's 5 committees that have all said they want to use it, and if none of those 5 committees decided they wanted to use it. Nobody wanted to pick it up, but I guess it would just drop off.

727
01:28:03.620 --> 01:28:05.260
Kai, go ahead.

728
01:28:05.480 --> 01:28:18.750
Chie: Just wanted to say, I think that this is a wonderful idea. Anything that promotes more awareness about things in our community, I think, is really great. We have so many beautiful sites and things to see here. This is awesome, great idea.

729
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:20.930
Chie: And I love using technology.

730
01:28:21.350 --> 01:28:24.320
jim murez: Thank you. See my go ahead

731
01:28:29.730 --> 01:28:39.760
Sima Kostovetsky: point of order. I just have a question, Jim. I'm so sorry. But how can you be voting on this? You should be recusing yourself? Robin? Is your sister? Am I wrong?

732
01:28:40.890 --> 01:28:56.770
jim murez: Why could you clarify on that

733
01:28:56.770 --> 01:29:16.570
jim murez: on in the in the application itself. Nor do we have any joint financial.

734
01:29:16.570 --> 01:29:18.050
jim murez: Okay, thank you.

735
01:29:18.140 --> 01:29:20.360
jim murez: Ali. Go ahead, please.

736
01:29:24.630 --> 01:29:26.060
jay handal: Hey, hey, Jim.

737
01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:47.800
jay handal: Before everybody else. Well, it's not in my list. Okay, I i'll get there. But as treasurer and a point of order.

738
01:29:48.240 --> 01:29:59.530
jay handal: Okay.

739
01:29:59.700 --> 01:30:07.980
jay handal: is. turn the meeting over to somebody to run it and recuse yourself out until we can have a vote

740
01:30:08.040 --> 01:30:20.060
jay handal: and let the vote go through and let it get to the city clerk and let them determine feasibility based on the rules of funding. I just don't want to see this after all we've gone through in the last

741
01:30:20.240 --> 01:30:29.500
jay handal: 2 weeks, you know I don't want to see it Get bounce. Thank you. I appreciate that. And and I was also talking to the Parliamentarian.

742
01:30:29.620 --> 01:30:34.490
jay handal: This has nothing to do with it. Hold on, Hold on a second.

743
01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:45.050
jay handal: I have no intention of voting on this item, right, but you should be.

744
01:30:45.430 --> 01:30:57.690
melissa diner : It is an issue when you need to recuse yourself. You need to. A recusal means you step out of the room.

745
01:30:57.690 --> 01:31:07.830
melissa diner : so let's move on. Let's not get like

746
01:31:07.880 --> 01:31:14.080
melissa diner : I do. I'm happy to call on these people

747
01:31:15.270 --> 01:31:26.830
melissa diner : but my 2 senses before we move on. Like you guys, he everyone's adults here. Let them make their decisions. We've all been through these trainings like we waste time arguing back and forth. Jay, are you done?

748
01:31:28.460 --> 01:31:31.580
jay handal: Yes, i'm going.

749
01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:33.350
melissa diner : Hi! Go ahead.

750
01:31:33.870 --> 01:31:41.320
Chie: I already spoke. I already spoke.

751
01:31:41.570 --> 01:31:52.300
Alley Bean: I haven't spoken yet, but I perfect. Let's go. Thanks.

752
01:31:52.300 --> 01:32:10.060
Alley Bean: Because I actually didn't know much about this. I'm more focused on what she's doing with the Lifeguard. Station. I think it's great, and I I just ran into a a couple of French women and her daughter on the canals today, and they were wanting to know different things where what this was, what that was. It would be the perfect thing

753
01:32:10.060 --> 01:32:30.000
Alley Bean: if I could have just given them the app. I also think it'd be really cool if if you looked at a house to know what was there. You know, 100 years ago in certain places where there's historic buildings like in Oak Wood, and you know many of the many, you know incredible places that we have in Venice where the peer was what it was like. Historically, I think it'd be awesome.

754
01:32:30.260 --> 01:32:33.230
Alley Bean: I think it's great idea. Thank you. That's all

755
01:32:33.280 --> 01:32:36.590
melissa diner : great thanks. So it out. Go ahead.

756
01:32:36.780 --> 01:32:47.150
Soledad Ursua: Hi, everyone. S0 0ne of my questions is on. Is there anything for people who don't have a phone to S to speak online? For instance? I?

757
01:32:47.250 --> 01:33:01.310
Soledad Ursua: You know my phone. It's an older version. I hate updating it. So i'm just wondering about people who don't have. You know the newest update, or maybe they have a flip phone. What they could do, and then I went to the link for the attachments.

758
01:33:01.310 --> 01:33:14.420
Soledad Ursua: and I saw I saw the amount work, question, and there wasn't anything filled in there, so I just wasn't sure if there is a amount requested, or I'm. I'm just hoping that I can get some info from people. Thank you.

759
01:33:15.030 --> 01:33:17.040
melissa diner : Thank you.

760
01:33:17.450 --> 01:33:21.550
melissa diner : Patrick Mckenley is a board member. Go ahead.

761
01:33:21.950 --> 01:33:24.300
Patrick McKinley: Yeah, Hi! Everyone

762
01:33:24.330 --> 01:33:30.520
knew this. So I've just got some questions. I'm. I'm not exactly sure what the ask is, here.

763
01:33:30.710 --> 01:33:43.920
Patrick McKinley: Are we voting to spend money on this as a community Improvement project? And then my other questions are: do have we done the research to know whether or not the city already has a system

764
01:33:44.050 --> 01:33:49.840
Patrick McKinley: set up, or a future plan for a system, or we just funding something into perpetual.

765
01:33:49.890 --> 01:34:04.170
Patrick McKinley: that we don't have control over, or you know who who is the one that actually decides what goes on. This app doesn't g0 0n. This app is that the Board. Are we responsible for this? Does this meet? You know disability requirements?

766
01:34:04.300 --> 01:34:22.250
Patrick McKinley: All of those other questions that go into saying this is now something that the Community Council is funny. I'm. All for the other reasons to do this. Those all seem legitimate and great ideas. But first thing is: first. Is, is there other things that that do this already at the city.

767
01:34:22.650 --> 01:34:27.190
melissa diner : Awesome. Thank you, Patrick. We'll we'll. I get the rest of Board Common, and then

768
01:34:27.220 --> 01:34:32.450
melissa diner : maybe Robin can answer a couple of these briefly and quickly. Robert, Go ahead.

769
01:34:35.760 --> 01:34:48.240
robertthibodeau: Thanks. Yeah. I hope we're including the amazing history of contemporary architecture that we have in Venice, Frank Erie

770
01:34:48.390 --> 01:34:53.600
robertthibodeau: Morphosis Bread Fisher, the Eames is Theam studio.

771
01:34:54.120 --> 01:35:04.270
robertthibodeau: and I'd be happy to put a list together for Robin. If she's going to manage manage the the list. It's really what we're known for, and

772
01:35:05.130 --> 01:35:09.060
robertthibodeau: and it would be great to see those places documented. Thank you.

773
01:35:09.610 --> 01:35:12.250
melissa diner : Thanks, Elizabeth. Go ahead.

774
01:35:13.640 --> 01:35:19.110
hey? As someone who's put an app together. I I know what it takes.

775
01:35:19.150 --> 01:35:20.740
Elizabeth C.: and

776
01:35:20.790 --> 01:35:25.270
Elizabeth C.: is it concerns I had like I heard the pricing per month. It's pretty

777
01:35:25.320 --> 01:35:26.520
Elizabeth C.: pretty high

778
01:35:26.780 --> 01:35:36.060
Elizabeth C.: I I pay for professional apps that give me more for less. I'm just wondering how you would on board users and who's gonna maintain it?

779
01:35:36.270 --> 01:35:40.030
Elizabeth C.: It's a. It's a huge infrastructure to keep an out going.

780
01:35:40.140 --> 01:35:42.300
and I assume that

781
01:35:42.570 --> 01:35:53.890
Elizabeth C.: this group was it called this this. Oh, I pocket sites. I didn't like their Facebook group. They only 400 people who even

782
01:35:54.080 --> 01:36:04.500
Elizabeth C.: like them. So I assume there, there's not a lot of depth there in them helping you on board people. So what would be the plan around that? And i'm not sure why we would be involved in that. What

783
01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:05.850
Elizabeth C.: can't there be

784
01:36:06.010 --> 01:36:07.500
I

785
01:36:07.860 --> 01:36:18.110
Elizabeth C.: an entity outside a nonprofit that would run this I'm. Just not sure why we would have anything to do with it. Given the arms and legs that it will no no doubt grow.

786
01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:19.520
Elizabeth C.: That's all.

787
01:36:19.860 --> 01:36:21.060
melissa diner : Thank you.

788
01:36:21.810 --> 01:36:40.000
melissa diner : J. Your hands up again, but we're not taking comments twice, so i'm going to give Robin the chance to.

789
01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:50.090
melissa diner : If you could just answer the questions very briefly in a minute or less. That would be great to address some of the people's questions or concerns. I'm going to meet you.

790
01:36:53.270 --> 01:36:57.120
Robin Murez: Yeah. Hi. So I will try to recall the questions.

791
01:36:57.160 --> 01:37:06.140
So anything that is posted here would first go to the Board for approval before it is actually live online.

792
01:37:06.290 --> 01:37:13.100
Robin Murez: No, there is nothing being done by the city of La in any or any

793
01:37:13.180 --> 01:37:32.100
Robin Murez: private group that is like this. Yes, it is being done by cities throughout the world. There are 2 0f these downtown la that I used. They worked really well. Ucla also has a tour that through pocket sites all of these, through pocket sites

794
01:37:32.200 --> 01:37:35.180
Robin Murez: it would be found by the public

795
01:37:35.340 --> 01:37:41.670
Robin Murez: through the Bnc's own social media and website, as well as QR. Codes.

796
01:37:41.700 --> 01:37:59.760
Robin Murez: They've been around for at least 8 years. They the code and everything is it's hosted just like Godaddy or anything else. The cost of this is actually extremely reasonable. There had been a proposal from the neighborhood Committee to d0 0ne of these.

797
01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:15.290
Robin Murez: The cost they were looking at was $4,000 upfront plus 2 t0 $400 a month. This is the total cost on this is 49 99 a month. That's well less than I pay for. Go, daddy, and other things, so I don't know

798
01:38:15.290 --> 01:38:35.260
Robin Murez: where that came from. Yes, Robert, it would be awesome to have contemporary architecture on there, as well as also whomever asked about historic. Our committee has members who are both on the Venice Historical Society and our historian. So

799
01:38:35.260 --> 01:38:47.160
Robin Murez: that's where our initial look would be. But there's just so much that could be put up here that yeah, it's just something that a lot of committees have

800
01:38:47.580 --> 01:39:06.580
Robin Murez: asked about another possible use, for. It is to create a interactive map for things like perhaps transportation committee. When we need to identify potholes, you know streets that need to be repaired. We could do that. It doesn't need to then be

801
01:39:06.580 --> 01:39:19.690
Robin Murez: promoted to the public site, but it would be a really useful tool to be able to identify the location with just dropping a PIN on the map, and then have photographs that correspond and be able to use that for a presentation.

802
01:39:19.730 --> 01:39:24.510
Robin Murez: The Tree people want to do it also. So

803
01:39:24.890 --> 01:39:33.240
melissa diner : are there any other questions? I think you know that's good. We went through all the public comment and for comments. So thank you, Robin.

804
01:39:33.260 --> 01:39:36.340
melissa diner : So we're gonna take a vote. Now.

805
01:39:39.590 --> 01:39:40.890
Robin Murez: Melissa, I just wanna to

806
01:39:46.890 --> 01:40:05.400
Robin Murez: Robin. Hi, thanks. I just want to say one other thing. This is not my personal idea. This came from my committee and their committee members who have tried this out and put together a trial run of this app, and have found it to be very useful, tested out several.

807
01:40:05.700 --> 01:40:08.820
Jason Sugars: so it' be in trouble to work.

808
01:40:10.470 --> 01:40:14.450
Jason Sugars: Hold on, let me just see who's making a comment.

809

01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:23.950
melissa diner : Mike. Bravo!

829
01:41:25.740 --> 01:41:27.990

01:41:29.330 --> 01:41:32.420
melissa diner : Dj: Yes. Elizabeth Clay.

01:41:39.750 --> 01:41:40.630
robertthibodeau: Yes.

835
01:41:43.030 --> 01:41:49.890
melissa diner : Clark is not here correct, or it's Park here.

836
01:41:50.420 --> 01:41:51.260
Michael Jensen: Yes.

837
01:41:51.360 --> 01:41:52.700
CJ Cole: that we best.

838
01:42:02.920 --> 01:42:04.120
Patrick McKinley: No.

839
01:42:07.370 --> 01:42:19.580
melissa diner : Okay. So we have 2 abstentions, 2 nose and the rest guesses. I'll get the to boat total and repeat it out loud in a minute. I'm going to let Jim get back on. Thank you very much.

840
01:42:22.090 --> 01:42:23.940
jim murez: Okay.

841
01:42:25.680 --> 01:42:30.370
jim murez: Next item, purchasing of tablecloths. Would somebody like to make the motion?

842
01:42:32.460 --> 01:42:33.990
Sima Kostovetsky: Hi! This is Sima.

843
01:42:36.050 --> 01:42:38.750
jay handal: Second it. Jim Vicki will second

844
01:42:42.390 --> 01:42:43.820
jim murez: any public comment.

845
01:42:45.210 --> 01:42:48.640
jim murez: So first would would Siva, Would you like to explain what you're doing here?

846
01:42:51.330 --> 01:42:55.930
Sima Kostovetsky: Yeah. Gave me one Sec. Because I brought a visual aid

847
01:43:01.630 --> 01:43:06.640
Sima Kostovetsky: for the record. This is what I am replacing.

848
01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:10.550
Sima Kostovetsky: I don't know how long these have been in you.

849
01:43:11.190 --> 01:43:15.420
They certainly predate my 3 and a half years on the board

850
01:43:15.720 --> 01:43:26.830
Sima Kostovetsky: they are starting to peel off, which is the vinyl, and how they've been made. They have certainly served us very, very well.

851
01:43:26.900 --> 01:43:29.670
Sima Kostovetsky: but as our profile increases

852
01:43:29.750 --> 01:43:35.920
Sima Kostovetsky: within the community, and as our profile increases within the city, I would like to upgrade these.

853
01:43:36.010 --> 01:43:41.330
Sima Kostovetsky: I believe these are at least 10 years old, and, as I said, they served as well.

854
01:43:41.610 --> 01:43:43.530
Sima Kostovetsky: so hence

855
01:43:43.690 --> 01:43:55.290
Sima Kostovetsky: my item on the agenda for the record. This is for 5 tablecloths, 3 for general outreach of the Bmc.

856
01:43:55.470 --> 01:44:04.630
Sima Kostovetsky: And 2 for our Resiliency Committee. Most of our committees, Don't, have their own independent budget, so sometimes for outreach. They come to us

857
01:44:04.720 --> 01:44:07.070
Sima Kostovetsky: to ask for outreach to Budget

858
01:44:07.180 --> 01:44:12.370
Sima Kostovetsky: 10. That was my request on their behalf. They're very active committee

859
01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:24.990
Sima Kostovetsky: in our neighborhood, as i'm sure you can attest. So yeah, just an upgrade professional branded upgrade of our table cost. That we use, for example, the farmers market

860
01:44:25.070 --> 01:44:29.140
Sima Kostovetsky: for every in-person event that we will hopefully get to have

861
01:44:29.490 --> 01:44:33.530
CJ Cole: fingers so. Yes, and

862
01:44:33.650 --> 01:44:35.760
CJ Cole: I think it kind of speaks for itself.

863
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:48.060
Sima Kostovetsky: Thank you. Oh, just, just, really, quickly. The vendor that I have hosted it's actually the most cost-effective vendor

864
01:44:48.150 --> 01:44:52.120
Sima Kostovetsky: for our purposes. These are 6 foot

865
01:44:52.210 --> 01:45:08.260
Sima Kostovetsky: waterproof tablecloths that are fitted custom fitted, and zip in the back. so not only do they find do they provide storage underneath. They are also branded with our beautiful V and C. Logo, and

866
01:45:08.320 --> 01:45:13.810
Sima Kostovetsky: they will not get wet or dirty, or fall apart. So I think it's time. Thank you.

867
01:45:15.660 --> 01:45:17.870
Okay. Do we have any public comment.

868
01:45:19.720 --> 01:45:21.360
jim murez: Melissa? Do we have any hands up?

869
01:45:31.380 --> 01:45:40.690
n: Yes. and this has been a long time coming. I don't remember a year ago when I proposed the idea

870
01:45:40.790 --> 01:45:47.040
n: a putting but a new reusable tablecloth before 99 Neighborhood Council.

871
01:45:47.630 --> 01:45:51.380
and we were going to put Logos on there.

872
01:45:51.670 --> 01:45:57.410
n: Yes, but then j Handle came along, and he dish all of our plans didn't he?

873
01:45:58.570 --> 01:46:04.530
n: And these are generic table clause. We were happy to put things on there like

874
01:46:04.770 --> 01:46:12.850
n: go Ukraine and in bank our city. But unfortunately we cannot put that on the table cost at this time.

875
01:46:13.280 --> 01:46:16.840
n: therefore, I can't find anything wrong with this.

876
01:46:16.950 --> 01:46:30.630
n: and i'll have to support it for the first time in 3 and a half years. I don't believe this. It's true human. This time they did a good job. I asked for unanimous support.

877
01:46:37.220 --> 01:46:39.280
jim murez: Okay, Melissa, do we have anyone else.

878
01:46:47.680 --> 01:46:55.390
Erica Moore: Melissa? Are you there?

879
01:46:55.550 --> 01:46:58.610
Erica Moore: Yeah, No problem. I just thought, Hi! This is Erica.

880
01:46:58.830 --> 01:47:05.790
Erica Moore: This is exciting. I I love the idea of having mute table clause, not just because I happen to be on resiliency, but

881
01:47:05.930 --> 01:47:08.360
Erica Moore: in the world that I live in, which is catering.

882
01:47:08.430 --> 01:47:27.830
Erica Moore: That that kind of thing is something that I I appreciate, and one of the reasons I do appreciate it is, it does look more professional. When you are out in the public with one of your tables. We were using one of the old table calls the other day, and it was kind of drab looking, so i'm not sure what what the background, Paul, you're going to choose is, but i'd be curious about that.

883
01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:37.500
Erica Moore: But, more importantly, is this. I'm not familiar with the company you're looking at, and I would suggest you get a sample from them of the actual fabric to make sure that it is

884
01:47:37.620 --> 01:47:56.170
Erica Moore: as durable as you think, and it's not going to crack. The other thing is that you might want to consider something where you can put placards that are velcroed on on the bottom that are interchangeable. It could be specific to specific events and things like that, and I am always happy to help you guys in any way possible.

885
01:47:56.170 --> 01:48:02.570
Erica Moore: if you need suggestions or wholesale vendors, and i'm happy to buy these wholesale for you to my company. Thanks.

886
01:48:07.270 --> 01:48:08.340
Sima Kostovetsky: thank you.

887
01:48:09.750 --> 01:48:13.130
melissa diner : Thanks, Julia Bean. Do you want to go ahead?

888
01:48:15.180 --> 01:48:27.340
Julie Bean: Hi! Yes, I would just like to request that all options are exhausted for local places that might be able to do this and support a local business.

889
01:48:27.550 --> 01:48:29.940
Julie Bean: That's really all i'd like to say.

890
01:48:30.780 --> 01:48:33.720
melissa diner : Thanks, Jim Crosby.

891
01:48:34.590 --> 01:48:35.400
Go ahead.

892
01:48:37.570 --> 01:48:39.040
Jill Crosby: Hi. Can you hear me?

893
01:48:39.200 --> 01:48:49.900
melissa diner : Yeah, Sorry, Joe

894
01:48:51.340 --> 01:48:57.510
Jill Crosby: Service. So I I I love the idea, and I just wanted to chime in and say, Yes, thanks.

895
01:48:57.770 --> 01:49:01.450
melissa diner : Thanks so much. Lisa Redmond. Go ahead.

896
01:49:04.160 --> 01:49:17.170
Lisa Redmond: Yeah. I'm. Also, people getting to have a class to meet them. I'm concerned that. Well, i'm glad that we shoots. An invoice has finally been up, but I can't read them because they're teeny tiny

897
01:49:17.390 --> 01:49:24.910
Lisa Redmond: the way they were uploaded. But my bigger concern is, there is no artwork uploaded of how these stable costs are going to look.

898
01:49:25.030 --> 01:49:31.070
Lisa Redmond: And since you're all about following funding guidelines for a boy, Jim, off the last vote

899
01:49:32.320 --> 01:49:42.340
Lisa Redmond: that's required. Our work is required, so that the stakeholders have an opportunity to look at it, so the board has an opportunity to look at it and say, oh, my goodness, resiliency is spelled incorrectly.

900
01:49:42.920 --> 01:49:47.260
Lisa Redmond: I don't think we can vote on this until that's properly done tonight.

901
01:49:47.380 --> 01:49:56.460
Lisa Redmond: and I agree with what Erica had to say, there's better ways to look at this. and Julie has a good point. It should be done locally, not online.

902
01:49:59.810 --> 01:50:00.750
melissa diner : Thanks.

903
01:50:00.850 --> 01:50:02.730
Helen Fallon. Go ahead.

904
01:50:04.660 --> 01:50:16.260
Helen Fallon: I agree with much of what the other speakers said. I think Eric had some interesting, very interesting suggestions to make this even more useful. I do want to point out that yet again.

905
01:50:16.500 --> 01:50:19.480
Helen Fallon: this is an improperly agendized motion.

906
01:50:19.620 --> 01:50:29.320
Helen Fallon: hosting the invoices which are really unreadable in the just a few minutes before the meeting, as supplemental documents

907
01:50:29.540 --> 01:50:43.600
Helen Fallon: shouldn't be acceptable. There was no link to these invoices, so anybody who logs in on the agenda had no idea that these even exist. It's almost like, you know. Let's go through the motion to pretend we're doing, following the procedures and the proper.

908
01:50:43.700 --> 01:50:51.780
Helen Fallon: the proper procedures, and make it look like it. But we're not going to follow them. So I think you should defer this motion to the following month.

909
01:50:52.020 --> 01:51:02.840
Helen Fallon: and you know, because these invoices were added at the very last minute, and they should have been available days ago and uploaded with the original agenda. Thank you.

910
01:51:03.200 --> 01:51:04.330
melissa diner : Thanks.

911
01:51:06.790 --> 01:51:12.030
melissa diner : And the phone number ending in 6 9 0, go ahead!

912
01:51:14.260 --> 01:51:15.780
1310****690: Hi! Can you hear me?

913
01:51:15.830 --> 01:51:16.820
melissa diner : Yes.

914
01:51:17.290 --> 01:51:19.450
1310****690: Oh, good! This is Yolanda.

915
01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:23.180
Sima has been working on this for a long time.

916
01:51:23.380 --> 01:51:36.770
1310****690: and whoever's doing the agenda is not properly doing the agenda, and putting this on time she's been working. I know by a fact that she's been really trying to get the best price she can get.

917
01:51:37.070 --> 01:51:47.180
1310****690: and if you don't like it, then help her. And if you think you can come up with a better idea, help her. We all work hard on this.

918
01:51:47.730 --> 01:51:48.890
Erica Moore: Thank you.

919
01:51:49.830 --> 01:51:51.550
Chie: Thank you. Lo, Yolanda.

920
01:51:55.240 --> 01:52:01.420
melissa diner : Thanks, that's it. I Lisa, did you speak? I'll unmute you. But I thought you spoke.

921
01:52:03.450 --> 01:52:04.770
melissa diner : Your hands still up.

922
01:52:06.250 --> 01:52:24.520
jim murez: Yeah, Lisa already spoke. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead. And then we're good. We're. Everybody's done. I put their hands down close public, comment. Somebody commented that they believe that the agenda had been incorrectly posted. These documents that showed online invoices.

923
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:28.680
jim murez: We're not presented to me until today.

924
01:52:28.760 --> 01:52:47.030
jim murez: They did not in. They were not included in the outreach committee meeting that was held several weeks ago for the outreach committee to vote on them or to approve them along with artwork, Nor were they presented at the Budget meeting, nor were they presented at the Adcom meeting.

925
01:52:47.030 --> 01:52:57.410
jim murez: And so what was said online about them not coming on to the agenda correctly. I can only say that I only received them today by email from Jay.

926
01:52:57.510 --> 01:53:04.070
jim murez: They came to me as as photographs of a website, and

927
01:53:04.110 --> 01:53:06.950
jim murez: you know I'm I'm.

928
01:53:19.260 --> 01:53:24.760
jim murez: That see my help. One of them. They were created by Holly.

929
01:53:24.760 --> 01:53:51.330
jim murez: who was the previous outreach chair. They were created in her second year in term she did a a competition at the time to come up with a new logo. So they're actually 4 years old. 2 years. They've been sitting in in storage, I assume, because they haven't been coming to the farmers market. I believe outreach was only at the farmers market in the last 18 months one time with the tablecloths, so

930
01:53:51.330 --> 01:54:01.020
jim murez: as far as as as oh, yeah, Jim. Why, don't you since you brought up my name, Why don't you let it out? Why, I haven't been at the farmer's market.

931
01:54:01.150 --> 01:54:06.050
jim murez: You're interrupting me, Sima, I have the floor. You're right, because you're just not speaking.

932
01:54:06.420 --> 01:54:07.270
jim murez: Thank you.

933
01:54:08.650 --> 01:54:24.040
jim murez: But, Jim also.

934
01:54:28.440 --> 01:54:42.980
jim murez: Do you want me to call on the rest of the board on table costs? No, no, that's okay. Nobody else has their hand up. If anybody else has to say something they would need to raise their hand. There are. There's a few people that want to talk about table costs.

935
01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:46.760
melissa diner : Thank you. I I can handle this part. Thank you.

936
01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:49.400
jim murez: Ali. You have your hand up. Go ahead.

937
01:54:50.970 --> 01:54:52.360
jim murez: You got to unmute Alley.

938
01:54:54.210 --> 01:55:04.280
Alley Bean: so I I heard you, Yolanda, when you said that there's been a that seam has been doing a a lot of work on this which I didn't know, but I still

939
01:55:04.540 --> 01:55:21.430
Alley Bean: feel. That it's. It. Seems to me I don't know about money, but it, you know tablecloth money, but a $175 a tablecloth just seems like a lot to me, and and if Erica could help us with a local vendor that could be cheaper, I I think it's worth, since it's not

940
01:55:21.880 --> 01:55:35.080
Alley Bean: at a necessarily a really really fastly immediate need. I think it might behoove us to to try to go local and go cheaper if we can, and I appreciate all the work that you put into it, Sima. But

941
01:55:35.420 --> 01:55:39.490
Alley Bean: if it, if it's possible, I think that that's that's all I have to say.

942
01:55:40.770 --> 01:55:43.250
CJ Cole: Thank you. Deaf, till your hands up.

943
01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:56.220
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. I I know everything that Sima's looked at, and she's considered a lot of these options, and I support what she's doing. And, Jim, I also would suggest that you let everyone know why outreach is no longer at the farmers market.

944
01:55:56.600 --> 01:56:02.410
I think if you're going to cast dispersions about what outreach is doing. You should own up to your own behavior.

945
01:56:03.530 --> 01:56:22.490
jim murez: If you're referring to see my giving customers directions about how to refer to their pets. You're absolutely right. She has no business doing it, and she should not be participating in the policies of the market that was made very clear to her on 3 separate occasions, and when she continued to do it I asked her to leave.

946
01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:34.000
Daffodil Tyminski: I hope that responses to you the appeal happy.

947
01:56:34.250 --> 01:56:40.700
CJ Cole: Yeah, let's let's move on, guys.

948
01:56:42.740 --> 01:56:48.320
I would just like to state for the record that I did reach out to local vendors.

949
01:56:48.420 --> 01:56:52.060
Sima Kostovetsky: And because we are doing smaller quantities.

950
01:56:52.380 --> 01:57:06.680
Sima Kostovetsky: and because locally, including some of the vendors that were emailed to me, I actually know one of the vendors personally and professionally, and my other non volunteer job.

951
01:57:06.730 --> 01:57:08.180
This was

952
01:57:08.220 --> 01:57:10.200
Sima Kostovetsky: for everyone that says

953
01:57:10.990 --> 01:57:20.400
Sima Kostovetsky: I'm spending way too much money. This is our least expensive option. I have spent hours on this, including researching our local vendors.

954
01:57:20.450 --> 01:57:26.490
Sima Kostovetsky: So for the record, this is the best vendor for the money and for the time. Thank you.

955
01:57:27.540 --> 01:57:30.410
Sima Kostovetsky: and if I may

956
01:57:30.500 --> 01:57:43.750
Sima Kostovetsky: yet again, because this is devolving into this, since my name is being dragged into this Jim, you told me to fuck off as outreach care during outreach hours. It is not

957
01:57:43.980 --> 01:57:45.210
Sima Kostovetsky: given to.

958
01:57:45.680 --> 01:58:03.090
Sima Kostovetsky: I don't even know what you're talking about. I stood there and even asked you, Are you seriously talking to me this way? People know when this happened. People know on the board, and I kept my mouth shut for the benefit of this board, and for the benefit of keeping peace.

959
01:58:03.090 --> 01:58:12.170
Sima Kostovetsky: and you keep dragging me, and you keep dragging all of the women on this board, and it is not there, and I am sick and tired of keeping silence

960
01:58:12.170 --> 01:58:27.000
Sima Kostovetsky: because you do not make this job collaborative, and you do not make anything easy to get done. We are working our bucks off for our community for not how to define expenditures on a cable class

961
01:58:27.050 --> 01:58:33.860
Sima Kostovetsky: when my reputation and my accountability speak for itself. Thank you very much.

962
01:58:38.960 --> 01:58:41.120
jim murez: Okay. Anybody else have a comment.

963
01:58:41.590 --> 01:58:44.740
Erica Moore: I am been up for about 20 min.

964
01:58:44.950 --> 01:58:45.960
melissa diner : Just J.

965
01:58:46.610 --> 01:58:55.190
melissa diner : I didn't get to speak in public comment. This is Robin.

966
01:58:55.380 --> 01:59:07.010
Robin Murez: Yeah, you need to do that there is other techniques that can be done direct to

967
01:59:10.900 --> 01:59:14.290
jay handal: Jay. Go ahead, please. Oh, thank you.

968
01:59:14.390 --> 01:59:19.210
jay handal: Okay. Well, first of all, addressing the logo, we have a logo.

969
01:59:19.930 --> 01:59:23.800
jay handal: So this is not a case of we're going to g0 0ut and design a new logo.

970
01:59:23.900 --> 01:59:32.760
jay handal: This Neighborhood Council has an adopted logo, and that is the logo that should be on that table. So let's just be clear about that

971
01:59:33.400 --> 01:59:37.310
as far as going and shopping it.

972
01:59:37.700 --> 01:59:44.440
jay handal: you know. I I just wish everyone would understand. It's easy to point fingers to tell people to go do work.

973
01:59:44.980 --> 01:59:48.670
jay handal: but it's not so easy for everyone to go do the work.

974
01:59:49.100 --> 01:59:52.320
jay handal: you know. I I listen to some of the people.

975
01:59:52.510 --> 01:59:55.560
jay handal: and I would love to see other people

976
01:59:55.690 --> 02:00:09.060
jay handal: get involved. We can vote this for up t0 $875, and if everybody else wants to micro manage this, then somebody go find a better deal with a better cloth

977
02:00:09.180 --> 02:00:26.190
jay handal: and bring it to budget, so we can approve it, and you can go buy it if the money is already allocated. So you know it as opposed to making everybody feel like the volunteers get beat up on this board, because that's all I've seen in 6 months or 8 months

978
02:00:26.310 --> 02:00:32.920
jay handal: volunteers getting smacked around and beat up on this board. and it's just very tiring.

979
02:00:33.220 --> 02:00:41.730
melissa diner : I agree with you. J: I. Can we move on to the next comment about tablecloth? Thank you so much. Finishing up on tablecloths.

980
02:00:41.740 --> 02:00:52.930
jay handal: Okay. I'm: I'm going to say that the imagery of this Neighborhood Council just from the way it acts as bad. At least try and dress it up.

981
02:00:53.050 --> 02:00:54.870
jay handal: so let's not put

982
02:00:55.100 --> 02:01:13.370
jay handal: lipstick on a pig, you know. Let's not try and do iron ons that are going to peel off. Let's not go by $15 table costs that are gonna that. Are it form fit. They don't give the appearance of what we should be doing as a neighborhood Council to the public.

983
02:01:13.380 --> 02:01:18.110
jay handal: and let's get on to more important business than tablecloths.

984
02:01:18.160 --> 02:01:25.970
melissa diner : I agree with you. Thank you. J. Elizabeth Elizabeth Clay. Go ahead, Melissa. Let me handle this. Okay.

985
02:01:27.040 --> 02:01:45.500
Elizabeth C.: Do you want to handle me? I mean, not a huge issue. I don't think

986
02:01:45.500 --> 02:02:04.010
Elizabeth C.: it's an expensive ink transfer. So typically and the machines are really large, and i'm in the print industry as well. So the the machine to do. I think the big mistake is calling this a tablecloth. It's not a tablecloth. It sort of sends the impression that this is a cheap linen, that, or a thin linen. It's a big, thick canvasy

987
02:02:05.050 --> 02:02:16.140
Elizabeth C.: fabric You would use for tense. So it's got to run through a certain kind of machine. These are really large industrial machines. They typically don't fire them up for screen prints unless they can do a big run.

988
02:02:16.180 --> 02:02:26.530
Elizabeth C.: because it's a big deal to clean the the jets on this on the screen print so it that's why I what they call direct to film

989
02:02:26.590 --> 02:02:35.510
Elizabeth C.: is the way to go direct to film Isn't created equal. So I heard J. Referred to it as an iron on it's a heat press.

990
02:02:35.570 --> 02:02:41.800
Elizabeth C.: And so you're not using an iron and the type of heat press that you use would

991
02:02:41.920 --> 02:02:55.640
Elizabeth C.: define how long it's gonna last, but also how you store it, how you fold it. All those things come into play as well. So it's not unusual that a cheap direct to to

992
02:02:55.830 --> 02:02:56.940
I don't.

993
02:02:57.160 --> 02:02:59.670
Elizabeth C.: I don't think that it's an

994
02:02:59.930 --> 02:03:04.870
Elizabeth C.: this is a crazy cost. My company wouldn't print it.

995
02:03:05.980 --> 02:03:22.610
Elizabeth C.: And you know you think about what you pay for a t-shirt with with a with the print log0 0n it. Usually they started about 20 bucks and go up. This is a huge piece of fabric very thick with the zipper. So, anyway, I'm just trying to put in perspective. That's not a tablecloth with an iron on transfer.

996
02:03:22.820 --> 02:03:24.560
Elizabeth C.: that's all. Thank you.

997
02:03:24.710 --> 02:03:26.380
jim murez: Solid. Add, your hand is up.

998
02:03:26.410 --> 02:03:31.890
Soledad Ursua: Hi, everyone! I completely agree with J on this. You know. There's one thing with.

999
02:03:32.260 --> 02:03:42.450
Soledad Ursua: you know, looking for cost, and you'll find, get. But I think what's important here is that we're requesting up to this amount. So if your stakeholder and you're watching this.

1000
02:03:42.450 --> 02:04:06.370
Soledad Ursua: and you see that we have this, you know, we but we basically gotten the funding up to this amount. And if you know a good deal contact Sima, you know, because she could have the power to switch it out. But basically she has done the research. This is the ceiling. So I think we just have to move on. And so if there's somebody watching, there's a great inside deal. I'm sure that we can contact people, and maybe something could be changed last minute. But

1001
02:04:06.380 --> 02:04:11.500
Soledad Ursua: I mean, You know, we can't let the good be the enemy of the perfect. Basically. Thank you.

1002
02:04:11.920 --> 02:04:13.910
jim murez: Thank you, Patrick. You have your hand up.

1003
02:04:15.050 --> 02:04:25.640
Patrick McKinley: Yeah, it's more of a comment. Just the way that the table cls are fine, and this is a small dollar amount. It's just really the the way the information is presented here at at at the meeting.

1004
02:04:25.760 --> 02:04:34.230
Patrick McKinley: Normally, when you're doing source selection on anything, since this is it's public funds regardless of its $875, which is a really small dollar amount.

1005
02:04:34.430 --> 02:04:42.530
Patrick McKinley: Normally it's just, hey, we source 3 bids. These are the 3 bids. This is the vendor we'd like to choose, approve, or not approve

1006
02:04:43.020 --> 02:04:54.440
Patrick McKinley: how the table cloth is made. I'm sure that there's more capable people that ran that committee that have figured that out, and it figured all the ins and outs. We're really just talking about of spending item on a budget.

1007
02:04:56.200 --> 02:05:02.730
Patrick McKinley: So if we have 3 bids, and they're all around 875. All we're doing is either picking a bid and moving on.

1008
02:05:04.170 --> 02:05:05.160
jim murez: Thank you.

1009
02:05:06.670 --> 02:05:14.470
jim murez: I don't believe we do but thank you, Sima, would you like to comment on that? Or J. Would you like to comment, do we have 3 bids?

1010
02:05:16.240 --> 02:05:18.510
Sima Kostovetsky: I think everything's been addressed so thank you.

1011
02:05:20.690 --> 02:05:23.920
jim murez: J. Have. Do we have 3 bids. You're you're the budget.

1012
02:05:24.150 --> 02:05:38.770
jay handal: I I don't have 3 bids. I'm not required to have 3 bids. Seema, said she. Bid it out, and this was the best vendor she had, and I had her send me the mock up invoice. And just for the record

1013
02:05:38.770 --> 02:05:57.750
jay handal: the brown act only requires the public to be able to get those documents when they are received by the board. So those documents that she submitted. Late last night I sent to you late last night, Jim, and you posted them in a timely manner based on receipt, and it all fit within the Brown Act rules.

1014
02:05:57.750 --> 02:06:02.000
jay handal: so i'd like to. I'd like to call for the question on this.

1015
02:06:02.210 --> 02:06:08.070
jim murez: Okay. Patrick, your hand is still up. Did you have something else? You wanted to say?

1016
02:06:09.660 --> 02:06:22.310
Patrick McKinley: No, I just think we should fully support the committee to who put this together? I mean.

1017
02:06:22.370 --> 02:06:23.280
Daffodil Tyminski: Yes.

1018
02:06:25.730 --> 02:06:27.140

02:07:53.540 --> 02:07:54.600
jim murez: and

1049
02:07:54.710 --> 02:07:56.600
melissa diner : I will have

1050
02:07:57.920 --> 02:08:03.360
jim murez: the vote carries 1,801 election plan

1051
02:08:04.420 --> 02:08:10.120
jim murez: proposal. J: You want to go ahead, and well, I need to let's. We need a maker of the motion.

1052
02:08:14.220 --> 02:08:16.430
jay handal: I'll make it. Thank you.

1053
02:08:18.070 --> 02:08:24.900
Michael Jensen: We need a second. And then J: If you could tell us what's going on here.

1054
02:08:25.250 --> 02:08:37.630
jay handal: Go ahead, Jay. Okay. So based on the meeting that we had at the Board meeting, where everyone wanted to have a voter guide made. Make sure we had a voter guide g0 0ut by a mail.

1055
02:08:37.800 --> 02:08:56.740
jay handal: The one thing we didn't do was add the additional $4,000 in an actual vote. So this motion on item number 15 is to codify that $4,000 movement to allow the election administrator to go ahead and get that voter guide out?

1056
02:08:58.220 --> 02:08:59.220
melissa diner : Thank you.

1057
02:08:59.340 --> 02:09:01.130
jim murez: Do we have any public comments?

1058
02:09:05.340 --> 02:09:09.520
melissa diner : Is this the part you want me to do.

1059
02:09:09.590 --> 02:09:10.150
melissa diner : Yeah.

1060
02:09:10.300 --> 02:09:11.280
So

1061
02:09:11.460 --> 02:09:13.900
melissa diner : the letter n go ahead.

1062
02:09:19.640 --> 02:09:32.260
melissa diner : Okay, he's not answering. So i'm going to mute him.

1063
02:09:32.810 --> 02:09:34.870
n: Yeah. So we know that

1064
02:09:35.180 --> 02:09:38.980
n: we're putting this in the capable hands of Jay handle.

1065
02:09:39.340 --> 02:09:43.650
Where would you be today without J. Handle in this Neighborhood Council?

1066
02:09:44.160 --> 02:09:48.980
n: You'd be in exhaust of that for a sudden you like Canoga Park is.

1067
02:09:49.140 --> 02:09:53.280
n: And so Hollywood studio and see that's

1068
02:09:53.510 --> 02:09:57.460
n: but Jay saved you. and he balanced your books.

1069
02:09:57.850 --> 02:10:03.210
n: We took accountability and responsibility with honor and respect.

1070
02:10:03.580 --> 02:10:09.030
n: Sj. Once told me in a dark parking lot outside of venison, c.

1071
02:10:09.600 --> 02:10:21.200
n: This is all a bunch of arguments, so today we will sc the $4,000. But the one thing we will walk out with the most important thing

1072
02:10:21.420 --> 02:10:25.930
is that we finally got our goddamn fucking table claws

1073
02:10:25.970 --> 02:10:28.160
n: go. Puppet supports.

1074
02:10:29.630 --> 02:10:32.830
melissa diner : Right? Okay, I'm Ming

1075
02:10:33.010 --> 02:10:35.780
melissa diner : Helen falling. Go ahead.

1076
02:10:38.410 --> 02:10:47.350
Helen Fallon: Yeah, You've got 3 motions here, 1560, and 70. They're sort of interrelated their motions to increase the budget for elections, but they're really not in the proper order

1077
02:10:47.460 --> 02:11:00.320
Helen Fallon: done. A motion 16. That that shows the total budget is 19,500 from the election administrator. And yet here you're at You're passing a motion to add $4,000 to the budget.

1078
02:11:00.510 --> 02:11:02.390
Helen Fallon: This is very confusing.

1079
02:11:02.400 --> 02:11:12.120
Helen Fallon: and so are you actually is being asked to increase the budget t0 0ver 23 K. With no supporting documents, no invoice nothing no estimates.

1080
02:11:12.460 --> 02:11:17.290
Helen Fallon: And are you accepting the late mailing date for the Voter Guide, which you approved in the plan

1081
02:11:17.330 --> 02:11:20.350
Helen Fallon: for your approved plan, said it was supposed to g0 0ut in February

1082
02:11:20.580 --> 02:11:37.990
Helen Fallon: By the way. Our Elections Administrator is President of South Robertson and see their election plan, says their Voter Guide is email the first week of March, and we're just to already heart hazards in the mail. Are we spending $4,000 to send somebody out something out 13 days before the election in person voting? It's unacceptable

1083
02:11:39.540 --> 02:11:41.280
Helen Fallon: when registration started.

1084
02:11:41.460 --> 02:11:43.250
Helen Fallon: And it

1085
02:11:43.570 --> 02:11:46.060
melissa diner : Okay, Lisa Redmond, go ahead.

1086
02:11:48.710 --> 02:11:56.080
Lisa Redmond: Yeah, I'm. Going to concur that there is no documentation about how

1087
02:11:56.320 --> 02:11:58.040
Lisa Redmond: $4,000 is needed.

1088
02:11:58.060 --> 02:12:02.760
And where is this election? Administrator? That is being paid?

1089
02:12:02.980 --> 02:12:13.230
Lisa Redmond: Why, Isn't, he here tonight to answer these questions. and before Ivan jumps in, there is no election committee, even though Ivan keeps calling himself an election committee.

1090
02:12:13.270 --> 02:12:21.540
Lisa Redmond: I didn't see a board go through and approve an election committee. Jim did not confirm and put out a public commit election committee task force.

1091
02:12:21.770 --> 02:12:36.140
Lisa Redmond: This is this is all kinds of problems. With this, along with the election plan is not being followed, and you guys all made a big deal about voting and voting again and again that we follow the election plan as approved, and it's not being done

1092
02:12:41.350 --> 02:12:42.220
melissa diner : right.

1093
02:12:46.740 --> 02:12:47.350
CJ Cole: Hmm.

1094
02:12:47.650 --> 02:12:49.790
melissa diner : Yolanda, Go ahead.

1095
02:12:51.440 --> 02:12:52.470
1310****690: Thank you.

1096
02:12:52.940 --> 02:13:11.800
1310****690: Thank you. I just like to have clarification. A. Who was really in charge of this election from the beginning, and I would like to find out how many publications are going to be published, and where is a place that one can pick up a copy before the elections.

1097
02:13:11.800 --> 02:13:20.910
1310****690: like, probably at the library, or at places where the public can have access to the candidates that they are going to be voting on. Thank you.

1098
02:13:21.190 --> 02:13:23.840
melissa diner : Thanks, Kristly, Go ahead.

1099
02:13:30.460 --> 02:13:46.550
Christopher Lee: Number agenda. Item. There's already 5 5500 approved for the every door direct mailer. Now are we anticipating sending 2 mailers now with this increase, which I find hard to believe, Given the short timeline we have before collection?

1100
02:13:46.550 --> 02:14:01.890
Christopher Lee: Or is this going to be simply one mailer, in which case that $5,500 should be allocated, and no expansion of 4 case required for the election budget. So just clarification on. If we intend to send 2 mailers out now.

1101
02:14:02.080 --> 02:14:06.150
Christopher Lee: or if it's going to be the one in which case no expansion of budget is needed.

1102
02:14:07.740 --> 02:14:08.980
melissa diner : Thank you.

1103
02:14:11.830 --> 02:14:13.120
melissa diner : That's it, Jim.

1104
02:14:14.710 --> 02:14:26.470
melissa diner : Thank you

1105
02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:29.510
melissa diner : fine, Robin, Go ahead.

1106
02:14:31.240 --> 02:14:45.230
Robin Murez: Hi! So I've set in on a couple budget meetings and adcom lately, and I just want to mention that this stuff is totally wackadu like people. You all

1107
02:14:45.680 --> 02:14:49.000
Robin Murez: need to pay attention to the details.

1108
02:14:49.430 --> 02:14:52.720
Robin Murez: for example, regarding that last item.

1109
02:14:52.780 --> 02:15:10.030
Robin Murez: There was no description of what would be purchased. Absolutely No.

1110
02:15:10.030 --> 02:15:27.010
Robin Murez: it's gotten to be very complicated, and it's not presented in a simple, concise form where everybody, the public and the board can understand it. So I think that it's problematic to be voting on things when you don't really know what you're voting on.

1111
02:15:27.010 --> 02:15:35.700
Robin Murez: That's all I think it needs to be put together in clear, concise information with documentation, and then everybody could know what they are voting on.

1112
02:15:35.820 --> 02:15:36.750
melissa diner : Thanks.

1113
02:15:39.140 --> 02:15:40.050
melissa diner : that's it.

1114
02:15:40.870 --> 02:15:41.990
Now Just board

1115
02:15:42.360 --> 02:15:47.950
jay handal: Jim for the record. Michael Lynn is trying to get in to give his report.

1116
02:15:48.220 --> 02:15:50.460
jay handal: Can somebody let him in, please?

1117
02:15:51.880 --> 02:15:57.380
jim murez: Yeah, sure. Melissa. Do you see Michael in in the audience?

1118
02:15:57.550 --> 02:16:09.610
jim murez: I'll look again, he had logged out. Hold on! I do you want me to promote him to a panelist?

1119
02:16:10.150 --> 02:16:14.880
melissa diner : Public comment? Questions.

1120
02:16:18.980 --> 02:16:30.840
jim murez: I am here.

1121
02:16:30.940 --> 02:16:40.580
jim murez: So the one question that I wrote down. that I will ask you to to. So we get some clarification, then.

1122
02:16:41.820 --> 02:16:52.340
jim murez: is the intention of of of of your work. Effort at this point to include 2 mailings or one mailing

1123
02:16:52.379 --> 02:16:54.340
through the E.

1124
02:16:54.510 --> 02:17:07.860
Michael Lynn: What is it? The Edd: yeah, that'd be 2 you're going to be doing to? And what are those 2 mailings?

1125
02:17:07.879 --> 02:17:12.090
Michael Lynn: And out it to be? Should be out at the beginning of the week.

1126
02:17:12.389 --> 02:17:15.010
going out to mailboxes.

1127
02:17:15.580 --> 02:17:29.080
Michael Lynn: So that's a postcard. And what is that? What it was? That part of the election plan? Yes, okay. And basically everybody online that's the for unfamiliar with it. What what exactly is the purpose of that postcard

1128
02:17:29.660 --> 02:17:37.010
Michael Lynn: to make of the election date the candidate forums and a link to the website to

1129
02:17:37.059 --> 02:17:40.110
Michael Lynn: it where you can get instructions on voting

1130
02:17:42.340 --> 02:17:46.940
Michael Lynn: QR Code and I'm blinking on. What else was there

1131
02:17:47.080 --> 02:17:51.309
Michael Lynn: a couple of other things but basically covering what was left in the elections?

1132
02:17:51.330 --> 02:18:03.680
jim murez: Okay, that's great that so so it's. It's like a Get ready

1133
02:18:04.070 --> 02:18:05.690
jim murez: the the the

1134
02:18:05.700 --> 02:18:16.670
jim murez: addresses within the community of Venice, and within the boundaries of the Venice Nc. Map. That is correct, something like we have 20 that says here, 23,000 addresses. Okay, great. And the second mailing

1135
02:18:16.820 --> 02:18:27.459
Michael Lynn: the second mailing is the voter guide. which Basically, at the last meeting there was overwhelming.

1136
02:18:29.459 --> 02:18:32.840
Michael Lynn: let's say, overwhelming desire to get it

1137
02:18:32.900 --> 02:18:41.650
Michael Lynn: into all the residences, not just the ones that are specifically the ones that are secure buildings that walking man could not get into

1138
02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:52.270
Michael Lynn: and felt that we wanted t0 0r get didn't, and I got a great, you know, if if the budgets there, I definitely would love to get it to more people. And so the Cddm

1139
02:18:52.330 --> 02:18:59.030
Michael Lynn: adjustment, or this adjustment would allow us to do the Eddm. Voter guide to all addresses.

1140
02:18:59.150 --> 02:19:01.370
jim murez: Okay, thank you.

1141
02:19:01.540 --> 02:19:06.360
jim murez: Let me go now to committee questions and and

1142
02:19:06.850 --> 02:19:15.750
jim murez: then I think we'll take a vote and then and then I think that will come back to you. I I I think maybe what we should do at this point is finish through the

1143
02:19:15.930 --> 02:19:33.730
jim murez: budget items, and then we'll come back and let you make your your your report. Do you able to stay online for a few minutes? Michael

1144
02:19:33.730 --> 02:19:37.150
jim murez: Budget items that you need probably should be around for anyway.

1145
02:19:37.320 --> 02:19:42.549
Cj: You have your hand up. Go ahead, please. Hold on.

1146
02:19:45.629 --> 02:19:53.450
CJ Cole: Oh, I guess i'm unmuted

1147
02:19:54.170 --> 02:19:57.200
Our post office. I don't know about other ones.

1148
02:19:57.370 --> 02:19:59.910
CJ Cole: Our post office is a disaster.

1149
02:20:00.080 --> 02:20:12.540
CJ Cole: I have not had mail delivered to my house since last Thursday. and today is Tuesday, and I didn't get any today, either. Okay, number 2.

1150
02:20:12.880 --> 02:20:18.720
CJ Cole: They're not going to get these newspapers to us. No, they they can only take

1151
02:20:19.010 --> 02:20:29.270
CJ Cole: whatever it is, 5,000 a day. So that means once they've got it, finish and print it's gonna take them a week to even get them to the post office. The post office

1152
02:20:29.340 --> 02:20:41.250
CJ Cole: guarantees that we delivered within 14 days. Their normal is to deliver between 7 and 14 days. and it is possible that they can get it out quicker than that.

1153
02:20:41.360 --> 02:20:49.390
CJ Cole: I just really think that whether or not everybody gets it, isn't as important as if nobody gets it.

1154
02:20:49.570 --> 02:20:58.810
CJ Cole: and I can guarantee you if they're in the schedule that they are. We're not gonna get it. The Our post office just does not work.

1155
02:20:58.870 --> 02:21:06.180
and i'm not the only one. Everybody I know complains about not getting how I get my share catalogs.

1156
02:21:06.230 --> 02:21:09.580
CJ Cole: So I know when I don't get mail one day.

1157
02:21:09.600 --> 02:21:19.090
CJ Cole: That's not because I wasn't supposed to get it. And this is just my comment. I have made it to many people, and it's going on.

1158
02:21:19.230 --> 02:21:22.780
CJ Cole: I'm noticed, and that's fine. I just

1159
02:21:23.080 --> 02:21:30.370
CJ Cole: don't want you guys as a board to realize that we all should get it in time.

1160
02:21:30.940 --> 02:21:32.890
jim murez: Ally, you have your hand up.

1161
02:21:32.980 --> 02:21:52.750
Alley Bean: Yeah, I I don't know if I can ask a question to Michael, but i'm just it's it's a question I have just about this

1162
02:21:53.280 --> 02:22:07.000
Alley Bean: in time, you know, since that's coming before the second mailing, how they can vote online and not in person. Or is that only going to be in the Voter guide that comes later?

1163
02:22:07.080 --> 02:22:12.710
Michael Lynn: There's a a clear deadline of March seventh.

1164
02:22:13.030 --> 02:22:18.980
Michael Lynn: to register, to vote and to get instructions on voting. It takes you to the website.

1165
02:22:19.120 --> 02:22:23.540
Michael Lynn: So it got 2 ways to go by going to the link or using the QR code.

1166
02:22:23.640 --> 02:22:28.040
Alley Bean: and so that by the postcard that will be available the minute that you get the postcard.

1167
02:22:28.420 --> 02:22:30.640
Michael Lynn: Yeah, it's already available. It's already done.

1168
02:22:30.660 --> 02:22:43.830
Alley Bean: But I mean the the the postcard will show people that Don't know to go to the website to do that. Yes, awesome. Thank you so much, and thank you for being here.

1169
02:22:44.470 --> 02:22:48.070
Clark Brown: Put us on the second mailing. That's not on the post card.

1170
02:22:48.740 --> 02:22:50.020
Michael Lynn: It's the voter, Guy.

1171

Michael Lynn: And

02:23:21.620 --> 02:23:22.200

n: And again, that's good. Exhibit a. The bald head. Michael is here. Oh, no, that's for him. Yes. and he's here destroying life as we know it.

1223
02:26:32.230 --> 02:26:45.700
n: I'm not surprised with J. Hands. I'll see him on you. J. We're collaborating with the South Robertson Neighborhood Council's worst nightmare. A man who cannot want to burn that meeting correctly.

1224
02:26:46.450 --> 02:26:54.030
n: A man who cuts off Federal Board members. and a man who deals with somebody with a fish aquarium

1225
02:26:54.270 --> 02:26:57.200
n: named 3 Boy Mice company.

1226
02:26:57.290 --> 02:27:04.380
n: Oh, that's! So again we will. We will not support the same

1227
02:27:04.770 --> 02:27:13.280
n: unless it's completely discouraged of anything to do with the South Robertson Neighborhood Council. Its members

1228
02:27:13.390 --> 02:27:16.330
all the e-hole that exists on that council.

1229
02:27:17.020 --> 02:27:19.970
n: and I believe it was a gym doesn't. Correct.

1230
02:27:21.530 --> 02:27:23.470
melissa diner : Please, sir, Redmond, go ahead.

1231
02:27:26.760 --> 02:27:33.780
Lisa Redmond: Yeah, not to be a stickler for the funding issues. But once again, where is the invoice?

1232
02:27:33.940 --> 02:27:37.350
How do we know that he needs 4,000 more?

1233
02:27:37.530 --> 02:27:45.860
Lisa Redmond: This motion also says, plus $280 for the sc for the polling place. Where's that invoice?

1234
02:27:46.020 --> 02:28:03.980
Lisa Redmond: Does it state the hours, and what $280 covers, because there's a later motion that is requesting for more hours, so that might even increase as well. I can't believe you continue to pass motions without invoices without

1235
02:28:04.160 --> 02:28:10.900
Lisa Redmond: at the printer. Where is that invoice? Where is that artwork for stakeholder and the Board approval? I.

1236
02:28:11.130 --> 02:28:15.630
Lisa Redmond: It's unbelievable that you forego these funding

1237
02:28:15.640 --> 02:28:17.500
issues all the time.

1238
02:28:19.120 --> 02:28:21.870
melissa diner : Thanks, Helen following. Go ahead.

1239
02:28:24.290 --> 02:28:28.680
Helen Fallon: Yeah, this is pretty astonishing. I would really like to confirm

1240
02:28:28.710 --> 02:28:43.030
Helen Fallon: that the Board has completely relaxed all responsibility over the election, and all decisions about the election to Michael Lynn, including who he's hiring, how much he's paying, and the dates of various events.

1241
02:28:43.860 --> 02:28:47.350
Helen Fallon: Whoever snoring could they turn off their my, their

1242
02:28:49.800 --> 02:28:50.520
Helen Fallon: you know

1243
02:28:51.220 --> 02:29:09.660
Helen Fallon: you already have passed a motion for 2 70 regarding the Oakwood thing, so I don't even know why you're asking for an additional 280. That just should have been an adjustment, since you already approved it. This constant revision of the Board approved motions by the treasurer creates confusion as to what's voted on

1244
02:29:09.660 --> 02:29:12.600
Helen Fallon: and what wasn't, and it Frankly, it was a lot of time.

1245
02:29:12.780 --> 02:29:19.320
Helen Fallon: But maybe that's exactly what Jay is trying to do here, and a closer look at the election administrators, pros posts budget, which is

1246
02:29:19.350 --> 02:29:22.360
including now a both a postcard and a voter guide.

1247
02:29:22.470 --> 02:29:30.080
melissa diner : It makes no sense whatsoever, and I don't understand how you vote for things when there's no support.

1248
02:29:34.570 --> 02:29:35.930
jim murez: Do we have any more Hands up.

1249
02:29:44.840 --> 02:29:46.620
jim murez: Melissa? I can't hear you.

1250
02:29:48.420 --> 02:29:49.850
melissa diner : Yeah, Nick, go ahead.

1251
02:29:51.370 --> 02:29:55.720
Nick Antonicello: Yeah, You know, I I've been critical of the voter guys.

1252
02:29:56.280 --> 02:30:00.420
Nick Antonicello: I don't know why I've I've worked in a

1253
02:30:00.710 --> 02:30:07.090
Nick Antonicello: of the big component of Pre, and it's appropriate. It's voter guides just. and I

1254
02:30:07.410 --> 02:30:12.970
Nick Antonicello: I would take for 30 years I've never ever gotten a voter guide in the now ever

1255
02:30:13.070 --> 02:30:23.210
Nick Antonicello: I've been involved in this me, and see as much as anyone on this call. and it is an unreliable system of getting the word out when you could do this digitally.

1256
02:30:23.440 --> 02:30:28.580
Nick Antonicello: Send it out in ways 3 4 5 6 times, perhaps the

1257
02:30:28.590 --> 02:30:29.770
they have the cost.

1258
02:30:30.320 --> 02:30:32.090
Nick Antonicello: What is this obsession

1259
02:30:32.120 --> 02:30:39.840
Nick Antonicello: with this anachronistic voter guide that does nothing. It does nothing. It is a waste of money.

1260
02:30:43.780 --> 02:30:44.890
melissa diner : Okay, that's it.

1261
02:30:45.990 --> 02:30:47.070

jim murez: Yeah, it deals with Number 18. We'll move t0 18 with a minute.

1269
02:31:28.040 --> 02:31:30.250
jim murez: We go back and share that.

1270
02:31:38.190 --> 02:31:42.500
jim murez: Okay. Does anybody on the board have any comments.

1271
02:31:43.530 --> 02:31:50.400
melissa diner : No, we just need to get more efficient through the rest of the meeting. That's my one comment. Let's go. It's 8 30.

1272
02:31:50.520 --> 02:31:54.440
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, let's take a boat. Daffodil, how do you vote?

melissa diner : I see

1311
02:33:50.910 --> 02:33:52.430
melissa diner : Lisa remin. Go ahead.

1312
02:33:56.930 --> 02:33:58.290
melissa diner : Lisa, go ahead.

1313
02:33:59.090 --> 02:34:01.060
Lisa Redmond: Okay had to unmute myself.

1314
02:34:01.740 --> 02:34:20.960
Lisa Redmond: I think it's absolutely egregious to spend. Well, first of all, you've already budgeted Ninth at $19,500 for the selection. Now you're adding another 4,000 for $23,500. That's 50 for 6 56% of your budget, and that includes the $10,000 roll over.

1315
02:34:21.110 --> 02:34:25.750
Lisa Redmond: It is like you are just spending money just to spend money to feel like you're effective.

1316
02:34:25.830 --> 02:34:30.240
Lisa Redmond: There is absolutely no reason this election should cost as much.

1317
02:34:30.410 --> 02:34:46.990
Lisa Redmond: and on top of that you're taking $1,000 from Npg. That the treasurer just suddenly decided. Well, let's pull $1,000 a month after he decided last spring to drop them down t0 0nly $2,500. So now there's only $1,500 for an Mpg.

1318
02:34:46.990 --> 02:34:54.740
Lisa Redmond: To be spent within the community Instead, it's all getting flittering off into mail that most people don't receive.

1319
02:34:54.920 --> 02:34:58.770
Lisa Redmond: I I just. I don't think we need to spend any more

1320
02:34:59.830 --> 02:35:03.440
Lisa Redmond: money on this whatsoever. Thank you.

1321
02:35:07.070 --> 02:35:08.790
melissa diner : Helen. Go ahead.

1322
02:35:11.090 --> 02:35:19.200
Helen Fallon: Yeah. I just want to go back over the history of these election budget. You started out allocating 15,000 to the election pot.

1323
02:35:19.460 --> 02:35:28.860
Helen Fallon: and then you voted to back in. I think it was October to allocate another 4,500 to the plan that you had adopted.

1324
02:35:29.030 --> 02:35:34.320
Helen Fallon: Now you're no longer using that plan. You just run it out the window. Apparently it's. You

1325
02:35:34.520 --> 02:35:36.340
Helen Fallon: turned it all over to Michael Lynn.

1326
02:35:36.540 --> 02:35:49.860
Helen Fallon: and you're now adding another $4,000 to the budget. You now up t0 23780, which doesn't even match the budget that was submitted by Michael Lynn.

1327
02:35:50.130 --> 02:35:59.530
Helen Fallon: And again, you basically turned over all decision making about this, your funding, etc. And when dates dates would happen

1328
02:35:59.640 --> 02:36:02.380
Helen Fallon: to an outside paid.

1329
02:36:02.870 --> 02:36:06.270
Helen Fallon: which should you should look at as an employee of this board.

1330
02:36:06.900 --> 02:36:12.860
Helen Fallon: doing everything to spend now 23,780. I don't understand it.

1331
02:36:13.060 --> 02:36:14.860
Helen Fallon: Do your jobs, folks?

1332
02:36:14.910 --> 02:36:16.650
melissa diner : Thanks.

1333
02:36:17.840 --> 02:36:18.830
melissa diner : That's it.

1334
02:36:19.320 --> 02:36:22.780
jim murez: Thank you. Do we have any board coming?

1335
02:36:28.420 --> 02:36:45.770
jim murez: Oh, so with that.

1336
02:36:46.040 --> 02:36:56.150
Soledad Ursua: you know. So i'm i'm going to be upstating from this because I just don't know what to vote at this point. I mean it. It just seems like it's getting incrementally out of control. So that's just me.

1337
02:36:56.720 --> 02:36:59.490
jim murez: Thank you. Do we have any other? Oh, Jim, you have your hand up.

1338
02:37:00.310 --> 02:37:06.750
Jim Robb: I'm agreeing with solid add, I think that that's a way too much money. And i'm gonna about n0 0n this.

1339
02:37:06.820 --> 02:37:09.820
jim murez: Okay. Ally, you have your hand up

1340
02:37:12.820 --> 02:37:14.550
jim murez: all you got to unmute.

1341
02:37:16.080 --> 02:37:25.710
Alley Bean: Sorry, I'm: I'm: basically just saying the same thing as soul. And Jim, I guess I mean, i'm okay. It's seeming out of control to me, too.

1342
02:37:25.850 --> 02:37:36.310
CJ Cole: Okay. The only thing I don't understand. as I thought when we decided to do, the voters guide, that we were eliminating the postcard.

1343
02:37:36.400 --> 02:37:39.800
CJ Cole: I think the postcard is the thing that's the waste of money.

1344
02:37:39.940 --> 02:37:43.880
CJ Cole: Nobody looks at postcards. I you know

1345
02:37:44.010 --> 02:37:53.410
CJ Cole: the real estate group that I'm. Part of are used to be sends out one a month for each one in zoom minutes. You know I it's just

1346
02:37:53.520 --> 02:37:56.320
CJ Cole: i'm sorry I I support

1347
02:37:56.350 --> 02:38:04.580
CJ Cole: the voters guide that. I have no idea we Still, we're doing that postcard, which is a total waste.

1348
02:38:05.370 --> 02:38:07.360
jim murez: Thank you. C. J.

1349
02:38:07.460 --> 02:38:08.870
Mikhail.

1350
02:38:09.350 --> 02:38:13.710
Michael Jensen: Oh, you know what I figured it out on my head. It's okay.

1351
02:38:13.720 --> 02:38:24.150
Soledad Ursua: So it add your hands back up again.

1352
02:38:24.150 --> 02:38:35.990
jay handal: Yeah. So I just want to clarify for everybody the motion that we're actually voting on is just to move the money into the proper categories to fit what you have already voted on tonight

1353
02:38:36.030 --> 02:38:50.960
jay handal: in items 15 and 1617 is the the money is already voted on. Now it's about making sure that each category has enough money to get us through the rest of the year.

1354
02:38:51.060 --> 02:39:06.070
jay handal: So all of these arguments about oh, it's too much money now, and I don't want to vote a guide, and I don't want this, and we shouldn't do that. That's already done, guys. Thank you.

1355
02:39:07.350 --> 02:39:08.200
Daffodil Tyminski: I think

1356
02:39:09.320 --> 02:39:16.000
Daffodil Tyminski: sorry I was gonna say something similar. I don't think this is all, and Jay correct me if i'm wrong. But we're not allocating now, yet more money.

1357
02:39:16.100 --> 02:39:20.030
Daffodil Tyminski: This is to balance what was already done.

1358
02:39:20.530 --> 02:39:24.590
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, I don't know where this misperception came. Where people are getting this misinformation from.

1359
02:39:25.450 --> 02:39:29.490
Helen Fallon: Excuse me, but it's not misinformation. It's in your minutes.

1360
02:39:45.680 --> 02:39:46.590
melissa diner : I'm muted.

1361
02:39:46.870 --> 02:39:51.400
jim murez: I'm going to call for definitely. You still have your hand up, was your question answered.

02:39:55.550 --> 02:39:57.940

02:39:59.120 --> 02:40:00.930
jim murez: call for the vote.

1365
02:40:01.770 --> 02:40:04.970
jim murez: What am I getting this phone already? Called for you?

1366
02:40:06.700 --> 02:40:07.900

jim murez: Yes, thank you. Okay. I'm going to to

1432
02:44:33.750 --> 02:44:52.230
jim murez: not have public comment on this. This is a one item agenda. The exporte communications. I have spoken to La Usd. And gotten a quote from them. The information has been submitted to the city to be able to have the candidate forums there.

1433
02:44:52.250 --> 02:45:05.010
jim murez: and I do not have any documentation other than the submittal forms which i'm more than happy to share. If anybody wants to see them. I can present them on the screen. Somebody make a motion to this place. I move it.

1434
02:45:05.550 --> 02:45:06.720
Alley Bean: Oh, sorry

1435
02:45:07.460 --> 02:45:09.090
jim murez: I didn't hear. Who was that

1436
02:45:09.550 --> 02:45:10.830
Alley Bean: jay and alley?

1437
02:45:10.920 --> 02:45:12.190
jim murez: Thank you, Ellie.

1438
02:45:13.490 --> 02:45:15.670
jim murez: Where is the Holy Alley? There we go.

1439
02:45:15.780 --> 02:45:35.760
jim murez: Do we have any public comment on this item? This is the funding to be able to use the school for the next group of board meetings up through June, and also to have 2 candidate forum evenings at the school. So that means on the 20, first, 20, s, and 20 third of March.

1440
02:45:35.800 --> 02:45:40.290
Those are the 3 dates that we've requested, and clearly just for everyone's

1441
02:45:40.530 --> 02:45:44.520
jim murez: clarification if we are not allowed to have

1442
02:45:44.590 --> 02:45:59.090
jim murez: in-person meetings. All of this funding until we are allowed to have personal in in-person meetings will obviously not be spent, and the money will stay in the in the Bnc. So it's possible that because of

1443
02:45:59.280 --> 02:46:03.930
jim murez: the way the city is dealing with in-person meetings, the first 3

1444
02:46:04.040 --> 02:46:12.560
jim murez: in March will not occur, and and i'm not sure what. The

1445
02:46:12.750 --> 02:46:16.020
melissa diner : cool Lisa Redmond Go ahead.

1446
02:46:18.050 --> 02:46:19.890
CJ Cole: Thank you, Melissa.

1447
02:46:20.400 --> 02:46:22.480
melissa diner : No problem.

1448
02:46:24.890 --> 02:46:26.930
melissa diner : Mr. Redmond. Go ahead.

1449
02:46:30.160 --> 02:46:45.080
Lisa Redmond: I I find it unacceptable to hold public meetings before the Board is holding public meetings, meaning the candidate Town halls. I think it's pretty Elitist, and entitled especially from

1450
02:46:45.170 --> 02:46:54.020
Lisa Redmond: coming from the election administrator who put out that in a wildly and inappropriate opinionated statement

1451
02:46:54.030 --> 02:46:58.510
Lisa Redmond: in just an election update, especially coming from a

1452
02:46:58.720 --> 02:47:03.030
Lisa Redmond: Neighborhood Council member who knows that that's probably wrong to do that.

1453
02:47:03.130 --> 02:47:18.750
Lisa Redmond: So I would really, if Freddie still on the line. I'd really like to hear what he has to say, because we know for sure there are no public board meetings in March, so why should there be public candidate, Town halls, unless you're all worried, because, you know.

1454
02:47:19.080 --> 02:47:24.090
Lisa Redmond: postcard is at the printer, and it's already announcing that which would be wrong as well

1455
02:47:25.760 --> 02:47:27.600
melissa diner : cool. Thank you.

1456
02:47:27.980 --> 02:47:28.970
Lisa Redmond: I don't need it.

1457
02:47:28.990 --> 02:47:29.970
Lisa Redmond: Melissa.

1458
02:47:31.870 --> 02:47:33.050
melissa diner : Thanks.

1459
02:47:33.730 --> 02:47:36.060
melissa diner : Cool and and go ahead

1460
02:47:42.780 --> 02:47:44.090
melissa diner : and go ahead.

1461
02:47:47.540 --> 02:47:50.540
melissa diner : Okay, we're gonna skip that, Helen. Go ahead.

1462
02:47:51.990 --> 02:48:03.160
Helen Fallon: Yes, so Fred is still on. I appreciate it. If he could tell us whether holding a meeting that was agendized for 7 Pm. An hour and 43 min later. It's actually

1463
02:48:03.640 --> 02:48:05.710
not a violation of the ground act.

1464
02:48:05.750 --> 02:48:11.680
Helen Fallon: Then I agree with the criticisms here you seem to be voting a motion that where you're now

1465
02:48:11.790 --> 02:48:15.530
Helen Fallon: sort of approving those arbitrary dates that were picked by

1466
02:48:15.650 --> 02:48:32.730
Helen Fallon: for election administrator, who seems to be making all the decisions about everything, and just a reminder to you folks abstention. If you really don't want something, don't know, and stop abstaining because it doesn't do any good, and it still allows people to push this

1467
02:48:32.820 --> 02:48:34.100
Helen Fallon: stuff through.

1468
02:48:34.700 --> 02:48:42.610
Helen Fallon: This is just an embarrassment, and, Jim, you still have to hold public general public comment. This is actually on the agenda.

1469
02:48:43.370 --> 02:48:45.580
Helen Fallon: It's on the agenda. You don't get to skip.

1470
02:48:46.420 --> 02:48:49.150
melissa diner : Thanks, Robin, Go ahead.

1471
02:48:51.890 --> 02:48:55.350
Robin Murez: I just want to say that I am very

1472
02:48:55.390 --> 02:49:11.270
Robin Murez: appreciative that this motion is clearly stated. To me it seems very clear what the costs are for, and that is how I think that things need to be presented so that we can understand what is being proposed.

1473
02:49:11.270 --> 02:49:18.920
Robin Murez: So I appreciate that, and wish that all items would be described as clearly.

1474
02:49:20.010 --> 02:49:21.810
melissa diner : Thanks. That's it, Jim.

1475
02:49:22.630 --> 02:49:27.930
jim murez: Okay, I'm going to close public comment and go back t0 0ur agenda. Do we have any

1476
02:49:27.970 --> 02:49:29.600
jim murez: board comment

1477
02:49:31.930 --> 02:49:38.110
jim murez: that? Let me just restate for the record, because I think some people didn't hear if we're not allowed to have meetings in Mark.

1478
02:49:38.170 --> 02:49:43.830
jim murez: I don't believe we're going to be able to use the school using city funds.

1479
02:49:43.950 --> 02:49:46.250
jim murez: and and at that point

1480
02:49:46.260 --> 02:49:54.370
jim murez: it's not at all clear to me what the election committee plans to do. But the forms have been submitted to la Usd for approval. So

1481
02:49:54.670 --> 02:49:55.290
yeah.

1482
02:49:55.890 --> 02:49:59.930
jim murez: okay, let's go ahead. If we have no comments, let's take a vote.

1483
02:50:00.990 --> 02:50:04.270
jim murez: I see no hands up, Daffodil. How do you vote?

1484
02:50:04.280 --> 02:50:05.170

02:52:41.100 --> 02:52:42.650
jim murez: Thank you. Vicki.

1532
02:52:47.850 --> 02:52:50.000
jim murez: Do we have any public comment?

1533
02:52:58.590 --> 02:52:59.590
Lisa Redmond: My luck?

1534
02:53:01.550 --> 02:53:04.350
melissa diner : Hmm. Lisa, Go ahead.

1535
02:53:08.960 --> 02:53:10.550
melissa diner : Lisa. Go ahead.

1536
02:53:12.460 --> 02:53:15.960
Lisa Redmond: I know everyone's on a seem of love best tonight. But here we are.

1537
02:53:16.160 --> 02:53:18.550
This is wrong and illegal.

1538
02:53:23.730 --> 02:53:32.040
melissa diner : Sorry about that. I hi Ben. So lower your hand. Go ahead. Lisa. Yeah.

1539
02:53:34.600 --> 02:53:35.520
jim murez: Lisa.

1540
02:53:35.680 --> 02:53:46.050
Lisa Redmond: Yeah.

1541
02:53:46.070 --> 02:53:47.430
Lisa Redmond: The

1542
02:53:47.450 --> 02:53:49.310
Lisa Redmond: or appro

1543
02:53:49.340 --> 02:54:00.080
Lisa Redmond: of the event. On April nineteenth. only a few weeks before the event. the submitted event approval form was given on April 20, seventh.

1544
02:54:00.390 --> 02:54:04.610
Lisa Redmond: 8 days later, only one week before the event.

1545
02:54:04.930 --> 02:54:06.480
Lisa Redmond: the Board action

1546
02:54:06.490 --> 02:54:13.360
Lisa Redmond: certification to spend $2,000 was filled out incorrectly. These are all reasons done, cited for canceling it.

1547
02:54:14.530 --> 02:54:18.190
Lisa Redmond: The art that she presented for tonight shows receipts

1548
02:54:18.470 --> 02:54:29.270
Lisa Redmond: that show conversation to run. These ads began at least on April, 26, before the event approval, form was submitted and approved. It is a legal to do that before you submit it.

1549
02:54:31.350 --> 02:54:36.560
Lisa Redmond: This is up. I need to responsibility. Seam is not a Newbie.

1550
02:54:36.830 --> 02:54:44.850
Lisa Redmond: She knows this as well, and she got in trouble for the December 20 first. Thank you.

1551
02:54:48.040 --> 02:55:00.630
Helen Fallon: I appreciate Lisa reminding you about some of the dates, something that was approved, or was was decided to pay for it on 426 when the event one hadn't been

1552
02:55:00.870 --> 02:55:15.850
Helen Fallon: approved, or even submitted at that point. Simply not how funding and how you do things. It was. It was a very improper way of doing things. And frankly, if this motion, since this motion states, and Jay says that the

1553
02:55:15.930 --> 02:55:22.210
Helen Fallon: has been approved for payment by the city clerk, where's the email from the city court saying, okay, guys.

1554
02:55:22.280 --> 02:55:30.890
Helen Fallon: Yeah, the funding rules Say, you can't do this kind of thing, and it becomes the responsibility of the person who didn't follow the rules. Those are the guidelines you all have taken.

1555
02:55:30.900 --> 02:55:32.780
Helen Fallon: And where is that document?

1556
02:55:33.790 --> 02:55:45.680
Helen Fallon: This is this was never even submitted back in May. Why not now? Why are we? Why is it suddenly showing up? And we're told? The city clerk approves it. I don't see any paperwork from them?

1557
02:55:45.900 --> 02:55:51.790
Helen Fallon: I just see Jay saying that he's talked to somebody, or has some verbal agreement. Let's have it in writing.

1558
02:55:52.460 --> 02:55:54.700
melissa diner : Thanks. that's it, Jim.

1559
02:55:55.440 --> 02:55:58.350
melissa diner : Oh, there's one more hold on. There's one more

1560
02:55:58.550 --> 02:56:01.880
melissa diner : this person by a letter. Go ahead.

1561
02:56:03.560 --> 02:56:06.960
Yes, and to J. You can play the recording back

1562
02:56:07.640 --> 02:56:08.450
n: your

1563
02:56:08.770 --> 02:56:11.020
n: council on the last meeting

1564
02:56:11.140 --> 02:56:19.750
n: not only muted me and didn't let me speak, but unraise my hand, and then lied that there were no further speakers.

1565
02:56:19.790 --> 02:56:20.840
so the last

1566
02:56:21.080 --> 02:56:32.670
n: item will have a cure and correct, unless J. Handle will convince God puppet that he shouldn't do it. What a fucking shame! Criminals! You are doing so good!

1567
02:56:33.580 --> 02:56:36.740
You're going to keep yourself on a done jail.

1568
02:56:36.920 --> 02:56:42.830
n: but you can't resist. You have the power to exclude people.

1569
02:56:42.890 --> 02:56:57.080
n: You have the power to lie and twist things. The only difference is, you Haven't learned how to get paid or steal money. Oh, they're getting there. Yes, that's what happened to Jose. We are, didn't it?

1570
02:56:57.320 --> 02:57:00.140
I see a bunch of little ways. Ours here

1571
02:57:00.610 --> 02:57:02.490
n: little we

1572
02:57:03.560 --> 02:57:08.190
n: better reopen that last meeting before it's too late.

1573
02:57:08.900 --> 02:57:11.490
melissa diner : Thanks. Okay, that's it.

1574
02:57:12.140 --> 02:57:13.910
jim murez: Okay.

02:57:15.320 --> 02:57:16.340

jim murez: Ellie, Go ahead, please.

1577
02:57:29.780 --> 02:57:31.960
jim murez: Alli, Your hand was up.

1578
02:57:32.810 --> 02:57:47.430
Alley Bean: I I did didn't realize I was muted. I'm so sorry

1579
02:57:47.610 --> 02:57:50.200
jim murez: I received nothing. Jay.

1580
02:57:50.330 --> 02:58:01.230
jay handal: could you respond to that? You're the the treasurer that would have received that. Do you have any

1581
02:58:01.350 --> 02:58:05.580
jay handal: that this had to be done in a retroactive motion?

1582
02:58:07.310 --> 02:58:11.360
Alley Bean: What! What is there anything in writing that you submitted for all of us to see, though.

1583
02:58:11.720 --> 02:58:24.020
jay handal: No, I didn't get anything in writing. If I got something in writing I would have sent it to Jim.

1584
02:58:24.080 --> 02:58:26.400
jay handal: I can't even get them to answer the phone.

1585
02:58:26.500 --> 02:58:28.080
melissa diner : They're lawyers.

1586
02:58:30.130 --> 02:58:32.820
jim murez: Okay, Thank you.

1587
02:58:34.830 --> 02:58:38.560
jim murez: Next person, Daffodil, You have your hand up.

1588
02:58:38.700 --> 02:58:43.090
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, I mean, I thought the city clerk told us that they made a mistake on this

1589
02:58:43.340 --> 02:58:53.210
Daffodil Tyminski: right. And so the this is the way to correct it, and as far as getting things in writing. They don't always give us everything in writing we can ask, but we get what we get.

1590
02:58:53.320 --> 02:58:57.950
Daffodil Tyminski: so they give us guidance on how to handle stuff, and we try our best to accommodate it.

1591
02:59:00.400 --> 02:59:03.130

Alley Bean: I've got things in writing from the city clerk.

1595
02:59:13.860 --> 02:59:18.660
Alley Bean: I mean in emails. I excuse me, Ally, if you want to speak, you gotta raise your hand.

1596
02:59:21.570 --> 02:59:25.910
jim murez: Okay. Any other comments from the board.

1597
02:59:29.400 --> 02:59:32.590

jim murez: we need to. We need a motion to ask the city.

1644
03:02:24.760 --> 03:02:28.080
Could I get a make on the motion?

1645
03:02:28.310 --> 03:02:31.900

1648
03:02:44.960 --> 03:02:45.920
jim murez: Melissa?

1649
03:02:48.800 --> 03:02:50.890
melissa diner : I'm working

1650
03:02:52.820 --> 03:02:54.910
melissa diner : Erica more. Go ahead.

1651
03:02:59.650 --> 03:03:03.240
Erica Moore: Hi, there! I just wanted to. Hi. Thank you, Jason, for

1652
03:03:03.330 --> 03:03:11.160
Erica Moore: putting this motion forward. I'm very happy about that. I absolutely think if we can get the hours extended, we should.

1653
03:03:12.440 --> 03:03:17.570
Erica Moore: That's all I can say. We should give people enough time to get out and vote especially. You know it's.

1654
03:03:18.080 --> 03:03:19.160
jim murez: Thank you.

1655
03:03:19.730 --> 03:03:23.390
melissa diner : Thanks. Lisa. Go ahead.

1656
03:03:27.890 --> 03:03:29.210
Lisa Redmond: Yeah.

1657
03:03:29.330 --> 03:03:46.020
Lisa Redmond: Once again, you guys all have this thing that the city click only talks to people on the phone and never verify or confirms things by email. I find it extremely hard to believe that the city clerk would allow Venice and X for 2 h, and n0 0ne else.

1658
03:03:46.190 --> 03:03:56.520
Lisa Redmond: and it's a Sunday. They're already paying their people over time to be there. So now you're asking them to spend another 2 t0 3 h more. That's more over time. Then where does that

1659
03:03:56.580 --> 03:03:59.720
Lisa Redmond: cause for funding the polling place as well?

1660
03:03:59.790 --> 03:04:18.030
Lisa Redmond: I don't believe that. And again, that was another.

1661
03:04:18.030 --> 03:04:26.530
Lisa Redmond: Most people want to vote in the convenience of their own home and not send in line for over. Now we're waiting to get in and see Ivan's cranky face. Thank you.

1662
03:04:27.260 --> 03:04:31.640
melissa diner : Thanks, Alan. Go ahead.

1663
03:04:32.930 --> 03:04:36.770
Helen Fallon: I think someone needs to be unmuted before I sleep.

1664
03:04:36.910 --> 03:04:47.220
Helen Fallon: I don't know who it is.

1665
03:04:47.300 --> 03:04:51.520
Helen Fallon: My question is, Does this mean that the postcard

1666
03:04:51.590 --> 03:04:58.090
Helen Fallon: includes the extra time and the information, or people now getting a postcard? That says it's.

1667
03:04:58.180 --> 03:05:14.260
Helen Fallon: you know. The 6 h at least 6 h were established months ago, and to the eleventh hour demand that we get 2 extra hours when there's mail in balance makes no sense, and it'll probably I would imagine it's gonna cost us more money for the space.

1668
03:05:14.320 --> 03:05:20.410
Helen Fallon: and I as a taxpayer. I'm not interested in paying over time for people. I mean. The 6 h window is sufficient.

1669
03:05:20.440 --> 03:05:25.640
Helen Fallon: and plenty of people will have got mail and ballots all right. This is just makes no sense.

1670
03:05:26.040 --> 03:05:31.140
Helen Fallon: It. It should even be proposed if it at such a late date in the election.

1671
03:05:32.320 --> 03:05:33.680
melissa diner : Thanks.

1672
03:05:36.340 --> 03:05:38.110
melissa diner : Go ahead, Letter.

1673
03:05:41.270 --> 03:05:44.340
n: Yes, well go. Puppet supports this.

1674
03:05:45.010 --> 03:05:49.670
n: Ladies and gentlemen, I bring a local Venice resident who is homeless.

1675
03:05:50.570 --> 03:05:56.390
n: Yeah, thank you. I I need. I need this extra time. I I get up late.

1676
03:05:56.740 --> 03:06:08.910
n: and I I I stop a few. I start getting my drugs around like 4 35, and then what do you do? Then I g0 0ut like collect bottles and cans.

1677
03:06:09.260 --> 03:06:27.340
n: and and then I get my buzz on. So it about maybe 8 8 15, I'll be ready to vote mentally, so. Yes, that that's what most of us need the extra 2 h for, you know, to get our drugs in, and so we can vote.

1678
03:06:29.910 --> 03:06:30.930
melissa diner : Okay, that's it.

1679
03:06:31.100 --> 03:06:32.020
jim murez: Okay.

1680
03:06:36.800 --> 03:06:38.390
melissa diner : there's no board comment.

1681
03:06:38.920 --> 03:06:47.440
jim murez: Does anybody on the board have a comment? There is no proposed expense with this. Just so it's clear to everyone. This is strictly to send the city a letter.

1682
03:06:48.990 --> 03:06:52.880
There are some hands up hang on 1 s.

1683
03:06:53.530 --> 03:06:58.990
melissa diner : so we're not. But now i'll go. I'll call.

1684
03:07:01.150 --> 03:07:11.180
Nico Ruderman: Yeah, I just want to say I support this. I support anything that gives more access to voters. you know, I understand concerns about expense. But

1685
03:07:12.040 --> 03:07:26.350
Nico Ruderman: you know frankly, the the mail-in ballots system is a complete disaster. Still. it's it's it's hard. If you aren't familiar with what's going on to figure out how to get a mail in ballot, and it just

1686
03:07:27.290 --> 03:07:38.060
Nico Ruderman: gets less people involved with our Council and makes less people votes, and I think it just does everybody to service. So I fully support anything that gives more access.

1687
03:07:38.620 --> 03:07:50.260
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Nico. David. You have your hand up also. You know more pro voter suppression. I mean. I think this is the most important

1688
03:07:50.400 --> 03:07:53.950
Daffodil Tyminski: right we exercise. So I definitely in favor of this.

1689
03:07:54.160 --> 03:07:56.190
Thank you. Daffodil. J: Go ahead.

1690
03:07:56.540 --> 03:08:06.950
jay handal: Yeah, I just want to echo every you know the last 2. It it's just. It's hard for me to believe that anybody would support voter suppression.

1691
03:08:07.300 --> 03:08:19.810
jay handal: and this Neighborhood Council has had 8 h elections more often than not. and it's had some of the biggest turnouts in the city to sit here and guess

1692
03:08:19.880 --> 03:08:30.410
jay handal: that people aren't going to come out that they'd rather sit home and vote from home. It's been proven in the past that doesn't work. and it's a disaster.

1693
03:08:30.580 --> 03:08:39.180
jay handal: Open the polls, let people get out, let them exercise their duty, and our job under Charter Section 900

1694
03:08:39.360 --> 03:08:54.970
jay handal: is to reach out t0 0ur stakeholders. Touch our stakeholders as much as possible. It's not about giving money away. That's not even in the charter we're supposed to be doing outreach. We're supposed to be representing our people stakeholders to

1695
03:08:55.270 --> 03:09:02.200
jay handal: the elected officials, and we're supposed to be trying to have the best possible elections in the city.

1696
03:09:02.250 --> 03:09:07.880
jay handal: and it's just beyond my belief that people can sit here and dump on this and say, no.

1697
03:09:07.980 --> 03:09:17.380
jay handal: you know we shouldn't get 2 extra hours. It's a waste of my taxpayer dollars. I'm a Paul. Thank you. J. Michelle. Go ahead, please.

1698
03:09:17.610 --> 03:09:27.790
Michael Jensen: Yeah, it's just a practical matter, I think. You know. I sure a lot of us are off on Sundays. But there are people that work between 10 and 6 0n Sunday, and if they don't get there

1699
03:09:28.020 --> 03:09:40.750
Michael Jensen: the convoluted clerk system for getting your mail and ballot done. That's their only shot. So I I think this is just such a no brainer. I'm surprised that there are people who are supporting, you know, voter suppression.

1700
03:09:40.920 --> 03:09:45.560
Michael Jensen: But yeah, so I support this.

1701
03:09:47.370 --> 03:09:49.010

1757
03:13:11.160 --> 03:13:23.310
Erica Moore: I can't believe it's been like 38 years now in Venice. I'm in East Dennis i'm also a renter, and I've lived all over Venice everywhere from you know, down by the board, walk on Diloma to the canals.

1759
03:13:29.620 --> 03:13:39.860
Erica Moore: I'm very concerned about a lot of things that are going on in Dennis, because I've been personally affected, and my neighbors have been affected. I know lots of people who've moved away, and i'm willing to

1760

Erica Moore: do the work. I'm willing to show up to the meetings that i'm. Often I like to go to the other meetings as well. I'm willing to be on a committee. I'm on a committee. I'm on the Resume Sea Committee.

1761
03:13:49.930 --> 03:14:02.000
Erica Moore: I prefer to look at things really as just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. I think that we have to consider our community, our neighbors, and our fellow.

1762
03:14:02.660 --> 03:14:09.270
Erica Moore: You know our our fellow, my our fellow neighbors. So thank you so much for listening to me, and I hope that we will vote for you.

1768
03:14:45.860 --> 03:14:50.090
Julie Bean: There are so many committees that i'm learning about actually.

1769
03:14:50.650 --> 03:14:53.030
But I can't wait to

1770
03:14:53.090 --> 03:14:57.480

1777
03:15:45.610 --> 03:15:52.950
Jill Crosby: who we send through public schools. So Walgrove and Mark Twain. I work in film and television.

1778
03:15:52.980 --> 03:16:09.530
Jill Crosby: and I've been in Venice long before Venice became a popular tourist town. I'm very proud of the way that Venice has grown and the diversity of the community. I believe that we can work together to

1779
03:16:09.890 --> 03:16:20.840
Jill Crosby: bring Venice back online. I think Venice is a very small community. It's a postage stamp. We need to take care of it in ways that consider that kind of a quality.

1780
03:16:20.870 --> 03:16:24.820
Jill Crosby: and I really appreciate your time and service. Thank you, guys.

1781
03:16:25.230 --> 03:16:26.430
melissa diner : Thank you.

1782
03:16:27.550 --> 03:16:29.640
melissa diner : Helen Fowling, go ahead.

1783
03:16:31.950 --> 03:16:36.720
Helen Fallon: Yes, this is Helen. I'm a candidate for the treasurer's position.

1784
03:16:36.880 --> 03:16:44.310
Helen Fallon: and, unlike Jay, I will guarantee that I will actually follow the funding guidelines and procedures.

1785
03:16:44.390 --> 03:16:55.830
Helen Fallon: I've taken the Tre, the Treasures training, and I have a extensive financial background. So I've been reviewing this work product. and frankly, 1 min isn't enough time to point out all of his errors.

1786
03:16:55.950 --> 03:17:09.430
Helen Fallon: You've got information that you're being given that doesn't reconcile to the city documents. you know I brought up the fact that you had a bac that was completely falsified. This shouldn't be happening.

1787
03:17:09.430 --> 03:17:23.570
Helen Fallon: I did promise the E. DNA that I would give an announcement to everybody. So i'm going to take the rest of my time to do that. The Ev and a the East. Dennis Neighborhood Association will be holding a meeting great for Bmc. Board challengers on March second at 7 30 Pm.

1788
03:17:23.760 --> 03:17:38.280
Helen Fallon: The Pemmar Rec center, and you can reach the edna@edna.veniceatgmail.com. So this is really a message for all of you who are running. We're not incumbents to reach out to them and make sure you get invited. Thank you.

1789
03:17:38.540 --> 03:17:41.820
melissa diner : Thanks. Lisa. Go ahead.

1790
03:17:46.640 --> 03:18:04.760
Lisa Redmond: Yeah, hi. I think it's unfortunate that I have to choose tonight between whether to campaign or to give a public statement, whereas then the Board members get to g0 0n after us, g0 0n camera and not have to compete, whether to give a public statement or a campaign statement.

1791
03:18:04.860 --> 03:18:22.020
Lisa Redmond: I'm. Embarrassed that all of you accused me indirectly of voter suppression. But yet at the same time your election person is holding candidate for just a couple of days before the event, when many people have already voted by mail. That's voter suppression.

1792
03:18:22.030 --> 03:18:34.130
Lisa Redmond: So I will say that I am running as a board member. I will come to a meeting prepared. I will read my agenda ahead of time. I will research all the items.

1793
03:18:34.140 --> 03:18:36.170
Lisa Redmond: I will

1794
03:18:36.250 --> 03:18:50.710
Lisa Redmond: serve on a committee. Unlike many other board members who are required to serve on committees. But Don't and I want to promote the youth members of our community which are not lacked, and i'm very concerned about the diminishing diversity of our community. Thank you.

1795
03:18:51.430 --> 03:18:54.500
melissa diner : Thanks. Kirstly. Go ahead.

1797
03:19:07.210 --> 03:19:14.400
Christopher Lee: similar to Erica More, I am a renter here. The principal things I stand for are

1798
03:19:14.900 --> 03:19:27.930
Christopher Lee: frankly summarize in one word, service service to this community, and what that looks like is an increased transparency, accountability, and communication within the Vnc. Within our service providers within our community.

1799
03:19:27.930 --> 03:19:36.060
Christopher Lee: I've taken it upon myself to create Venice community clean ups as the beginning of this effort, where I'm. Simply going around the neighborhood

1800
03:19:36.060 --> 03:19:54.790
Christopher Lee: from beach to city sleep streets.

1801

Steve Bradbury: So given that the the collective marina area has somewhere upwards of 25 t0 30% population of Venice.

1815
03:21:36.520 --> 03:21:54.070
Steve Bradbury: It's a little crazy that there isn't a lot of representation I think team is the only one who lives south of Washington. So I am running as community officer to represent the voice of people living in the areas of the Marina. We have some of the same issues as the rest of Venice, and some that are unique to us.

1816
03:21:54.070 --> 03:22:02.630
Steve Bradbury: and I look forward to representing them and bringing some thoughtful con contributions to the Vnc: Thank you.

n: Yes.

1829
03:23:35.850 --> 03:23:40.870

1830
03:23:40.960 --> 03:23:50.400
n: Oh, Board members will get sued for their house. That's right. Yes, no more qualified immunity after the end of this year. What a shame!

1831
03:23:50.760 --> 03:23:53.740
Abuse your power, what you can.

1832
03:23:53.870 --> 03:24:00.430

jay handal: Okay, Hi! Everybody J. Handle i'm the owner of Herba markets. I run an over 60 million dollar business. So, running a $42,000 annual budget is not a really big deal.

1849
03:25:54.320 --> 03:26:13.330
jay handal: I think I bring to this board a little bit of stability. I bring to this board the ability to pull things together and run things in a proper way as opposed to what some people might tell you. We've been very successful. I have been successful at what I do.

1865

1866
03:27:48.850 --> 03:27:58.570
Clark Brown: This includes finding space in hotels, motels, and utter underutilized commercial buildings and building safe camping and tiny homes.

1867
03:27:58.590 --> 03:28:11.900

1919
03:34:12.250 --> 03:34:13.420

1921
03:34:21.510 --> 03:34:38.350
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Melissa. My name is Saffidel Tuninsky, I think mostly everyone knows me. I'm currently the Vice President of the Neighborhood Council. I've been in Venice for almost 20 years, and for at least 15 0f that time I've been volunteering with the Vnc. Either on a committee

1922
03:34:38.550 --> 03:34:46.130
Daffodil Tyminski: starting public safety back in the day, and or as a community officer, or on Lupec, or now

03:34:47.970 --> 03:34:58.260
Daffodil Tyminski: I know so many of us worked so hard to get Tracy elected, and I felt i'm running really because I felt like it was very important to have our next board be very supportive of her policies.

1924
03:34:58.390 --> 03:35:05.140
Daffodil Tyminski: I have a long career working both in and with law enforcement, and I think it's important that we value that.

1925
03:35:05.350 --> 03:35:19.080
Daffodil Tyminski: and I think it's important that we support our local businesses, and we really make an effort to understand that They are the lifeblood of our community as well as are the people that work there. So we need to find places for those people to live and stay.

1926
03:35:19.220 --> 03:35:22.680
Daffodil Tyminski: So i'm looking forward to working with everyone in the future. Thanks.

1932
03:36:04.600 --> 03:36:19.150

03:36:19.870 --> 03:36:21.030

03:36:48.650 --> 03:36:58.300
Alley Bean: I am her the the grandmother of her children, and the grandmother of 6 here in Venice and 9 altogether.

1937
03:36:58.580 --> 03:37:09.470
Alley Bean: and I just love Venice and my husband lived here for 52 years me for 31, and it's it's the old

1938
03:37:09.520 --> 03:37:19.010
Alley Bean: beautiful crazy diversity of Venice that moves me. That's that makes up my neighborhood and my really close neighbor Friends.

1939
03:37:19.130 --> 03:37:31.700
Alley Bean: I want to stand with everybody that's been here for a long time the Renters people that live in Oakwood people all over Venice and I, and move with the times.

1940
03:37:31.730 --> 03:37:49.820
Alley Bean: but try to keep the the beauty of the unity of this place, and the spirit of coming together, and all of us working together; and I hope that now that with Tracy Parks being our new Council person. We we can get things done here that we couldn't get done. Unfortunately, in the past 3 years.

1941
03:37:49.870 --> 03:37:52.890
melissa diner : Thank you, Jim. Go ahead.

1942
03:37:54.790 --> 03:38:04.180
jim murez: Hi! So my name is Jimieres. I'm. The current president. I've held the positions on Loop pack for 12 years, parking and transportation for 5

1943
03:38:04.230 --> 03:38:19.250
jim murez: communications for a year and a half 2 years I developed the system that allowed us to tie into the schools

1944
03:38:19.300 --> 03:38:22.300
jim murez: transparent communications with the public.

1945
03:38:22.390 --> 03:38:37.740
jim murez: I'm. Very much supporting transparency. I also automated the way of being able to keep agendas in minutes. I wrote the program myself. I've run the farmers market in Venice for 35 years, and I'm very strongly pushing

1946
03:38:37.740 --> 03:38:49.190
jim murez: to get the skate park venue for the olympic committee in 28 to be in Venice that's something i'm actively working on I think it will bring a tremendous amount of

1947
03:38:49.270 --> 03:38:56.990
jim murez: of development, community development and lot of resources to us that we've never had before. I'm running for Community officer.

1948
03:38:57.150 --> 03:38:58.740
jim murez: Hope you vote for me. Thank you.

1949
03:39:00.800 --> 03:39:02.400
melissa diner : Thanks. That's it.

1950
03:39:04.710 --> 03:39:08.390
Jim Robb: Okay, let's go back t0 0ur regular

1951
03:39:09.790 --> 03:39:12.700
melissa diner : consent items.

1952
03:39:15.280 --> 03:39:22.820
jim murez: motion to use Federal State funds. This was brought to us by the Neighborhood committee of about 6 7 0 0,

1953
03:39:23.830 --> 03:39:27.920
jim murez: and that is the only item we have on

1954
03:39:28.400 --> 03:39:31.580
jim murez: general consent for the V and C board.

1955
03:39:33.560 --> 03:39:35.810
jim murez: If anyone wants to

1956
03:39:36.130 --> 03:39:42.040
remove the item from consent, they'll need to have a reason why we should not push this forward. That is a

1957
03:39:42.270 --> 03:39:43.710
jim murez: rational reason.

1958
03:39:43.780 --> 03:39:46.940
I see there are some hands being raised, Melissa.

1959
03:39:47.120 --> 03:39:50.120
jim murez: Well, maybe I can just do this for more

1960
03:39:53.010 --> 03:39:55.620
jim murez: attendees. Helen, go ahead.

1961
03:39:56.220 --> 03:39:59.760
Helen Fallon: I just want to point out. Your consent item is labeled

1962
03:39:59.780 --> 03:40:11.710
Helen Fallon: 22, and if this was a consent item, it should have been labeled 22 a this wasn't properly agenda as it's been sent. so it should be treated as a as as a regular motion.

1963
03:40:11.960 --> 03:40:18.590
melissa diner : Are you pulling it or not? That's it. Go ahead and pull it. It's not. It's not even

1964
03:40:19.300 --> 03:40:21.180
Robin. Your hand is up.

1965
03:40:21.440 --> 03:40:31.940
jim murez: We we if she pulled it, we don't it's not, an i'm sorry i'm not going to accept that we shouldn't hear it. It's a special item, just because she doesn't like how it was it agendized

1966
03:40:34.410 --> 03:40:36.180
jim murez: Robin. You go ahead.

1967
03:40:36.370 --> 03:40:47.090
Robin Murez: Hi! So I would like to have there be some discussion on this, because I feel that we have a new City Council person, and that

1968
03:40:47.800 --> 03:40:50.790
Robin Murez: with a a very open

1969
03:40:52.730 --> 03:41:05.690
Robin Murez: attitude toward Venice. Unlike what we've had before. So to be presenting this, as you know, a demand for Federal funds and State funds, and that seems inappropriate. I think

1970
03:41:06.040 --> 03:41:11.500
Robin Murez: I listen to what the Commune, the

1971
03:41:13.210 --> 03:41:21.180
jim murez: it'll go to the end of the agenda, and if you're not here to speak on it, it will just g0 0ff as consent.

1972
03:41:23.250 --> 03:41:29.290
jim murez: Whole business land use, and we don't have any old business at all. Land, use, and planning

1973
03:41:30.480 --> 03:41:33.270
jim murez: consent. We have

1974
03:41:34.940 --> 03:41:40.440
Michael Jensen: Pacific and Mikhail help me here. If I miss.

1975
03:41:40.560 --> 03:41:46.010
Michael Jensen: Yeah, pull hold on that. I was trying to scroll on your shared screen didn't work. So

1976
03:41:46.110 --> 03:41:50.540
Michael Jensen: 26 is 2524 South Pacific.

1977
03:41:50.720 --> 03:41:53.800
Michael Jensen: It is the

1978
03:41:53.920 --> 03:42:01.850
Michael Jensen: renewal of a zoning variance for a use that's not permitted, but was granted. I want to say.

1979
03:42:02.270 --> 03:42:04.400
jim murez: did we plan to hear it tonight?

1980
03:42:04.700 --> 03:42:15.760
Michael Jensen: Yes, that one is, it's all on the agenda. It's

1981
03:42:15.800 --> 03:42:22.860
Michael Jensen: Walgrove. We're not hearing tonight. We're removing it. We've already heard we heard that in January. I must have I don't know. Maybe I

1982
03:42:23.050 --> 03:42:25.530
submitted it twice twice by accent

1983
03:42:26.730 --> 03:42:27.480
jim murez: possible.

1984
03:42:27.570 --> 03:42:32.060
Michael Jensen: Okay. And then 1,338 is continued.

1985
03:42:32.620 --> 03:42:40.340
jim murez: 1,338 is new business, though that's not under consent.

1986
03:42:40.460 --> 03:42:42.640
Daffodil Tyminski: Do we have anyone who wants to pull

1987
03:42:44.370 --> 03:42:46.410
jim murez: 26 0r

1988
03:42:46.510 --> 03:42:49.140
jim murez: 27

1989
03:42:49.700 --> 03:42:51.530
jim murez: off of consent

1990
03:42:52.850 --> 03:42:54.850
melissa diner : Helen falling. Go ahead.

1991
03:42:59.370 --> 03:43:01.750
jim murez: Her hand disappeared. I think

1992
03:43:01.800 --> 03:43:04.770
melissa diner : I put it down.

1993
03:43:08.930 --> 03:43:13.450
melissa diner : she muttered herself. So

1994
03:43:13.610 --> 03:43:25.270
Helen Fallon: again I just want to point out this is properly agendized. You can't put you don't number things correctly, and you get anybody reading these agendas doesn't. Assume that this is Consent Calendar.

1995
03:43:26.290 --> 03:43:29.240
Helen Fallon: Okay, you like that or not, Jim. It's an accurate state.

jim murez: Okay, Any other public comment, Anybody have anything they want to pull off?

melissa diner : Yeah, letter. Go ahead.

1998
03:43:45.800 --> 03:43:57.920
n: I would like to pull off both projects. Why. I think it's only fair don't you that we should discuss this coastal development permit.

1999
03:43:58.180 --> 03:44:05.880
n: as it relates to the zoning and the new land. Use regulations of the plum today.

2000
03:44:06.060 --> 03:44:08.930
n: hey? That's a good point. That's right. See?

2001
03:44:09.120 --> 03:44:12.510

This is now your second warning. If it happens again, i'm not going to give you a warning. I'm just going to remove Margaret, or whoever's next

2009
03:45:04.150 --> 03:45:05.600
melissa diner : Margaret go ahead.

2010
03:45:06.340 --> 03:45:08.700
Margaret Molloy: 1,338 electric.

2011
03:45:08.850 --> 03:45:11.200

2018
03:45:43.730 --> 03:45:58.110
Sarah Wauters: There was considerable opposition to this project in the Loopak meeting, and that opposition can still should still be heard this evening. I don't think that Lupex actually represented their constituents when they approved this project.

2019
03:45:58.170 --> 03:46:02.600
Sarah Wauters: So i'd like to see it.

2020
03:46:03.390 --> 03:46:09.660
jim murez: Well, I'm here and there will be several others. Yes.

jim murez: Okay, now we're on to new business 13.

2023
03:46:16.200 --> 03:46:23.910
Michael Jensen: So Jan, just out of curiosity. So, people that don't show up to this when it comes to committee, just can pull it. Arbitrarily.

2024
03:46:24.000 --> 03:46:24.720
Michael Jensen: Okay.

2025
03:46:25.000 --> 03:46:29.390
jim murez: 1,338 electric. This is being postponed. Is that correct?

2026
03:46:32.110 --> 03:46:32.920
jim murez: Okay.

2027
03:46:34.100 --> 03:46:36.110
jim murez: And we're postponing that until, when

2028
03:46:36.630 --> 03:46:39.130
I assume it'll be on them while March

03:46:40.140 --> 03:46:41.030
Michael Jensen: next meeting.

2030
03:46:52.050 --> 03:46:53.150
jim murez: Thank you.

2031
03:46:54.390 --> 03:46:57.600
jim murez: 31.

2032
03:46:59.550 --> 03:47:03.040
jim murez: I need nickel. Do you want to make the motion, please?

2033
03:47:04.300 --> 03:47:06.750
Michael Jensen: Sure, i'll make the motion.

2034
03:47:07.220 --> 03:47:09.760
jim murez: This is the to minimize

2035
03:47:10.040 --> 03:47:21.350
Michael Jensen: the de minimis waiver for the Life card station. Yeah, the proponent for this is actually Robin. But i'm I'll make a motion. Do you want me to actually read it, or I just make it. She can't make the motion. She's not on the board.

2036
03:47:21.640 --> 03:47:26.950
Michael Jensen: so if you can make the motion, we can get it seconded, and then you can give us.

2037
03:47:27.050 --> 03:47:29.370
jim murez: Thank you. Can we get a second? Please

2038
03:47:31.510 --> 03:47:34.130
Nico Ruderman: let me go? I'll second.

2039
03:47:36.600 --> 03:47:39.820
jim murez: You want to give us a little bit of background, or should I have Robin do that.

2040
03:47:39.940 --> 03:47:44.220
Michael Jensen: I'll give the background just so we can get get through this. So

2041
03:47:44.570 --> 03:47:45.260
alright.

2042
03:47:46.270 --> 03:47:50.210
Michael Jensen: so the background for this is the

2043
03:47:50.700 --> 03:47:54.740
Michael Jensen: county pulled a

2044
03:47:55.670 --> 03:47:57.480
Michael Jensen: Cdp. For.

2045
03:47:57.640 --> 03:47:59.320
requested a waiver.

2046
03:47:59.760 --> 03:48:03.710
Michael Jensen: And i'm sorry i'm reading from this, but all the text is is

2047
03:48:04.720 --> 03:48:05.540
Michael Jensen: carbled.

2048
03:48:07.830 --> 03:48:12.910
Michael Jensen: Why don't you let Robin? Because she researched this and i'm like not able to read your agenda.

2049
03:48:13.910 --> 03:48:15.420
jim murez: Oh, it's not on the screen.

2050
03:48:15.620 --> 03:48:18.930
Michael Jensen: No, it is it's just all of the text is

2051
03:48:19.020 --> 03:48:28.670
Michael Jensen: in one giant block. It's not delineated

2052
03:48:29.200 --> 03:48:30.470
Michael Jensen: online portal.

2053
03:48:30.600 --> 03:48:32.940
Michael Jensen: Does that to all text that you enter.

2054
03:48:33.420 --> 03:48:35.410
Michael Jensen: But sure that was how it was submitted.

2055
03:48:37.010 --> 03:48:37.820
jim murez: Okay.

2056
03:48:39.690 --> 03:48:42.500
jim murez: let's see if I can get Robin back on here.

2057
03:48:46.810 --> 03:48:57.740
Michael Jensen: I mean here. In the meantime the county asked for a wave or a Cl. Any it was county owned. They don't actually own it, at least from the city

2058
03:48:58.220 --> 03:49:00.100
Michael Jensen: incorrect information.

2059
03:49:00.220 --> 03:49:02.060
Michael Jensen: And so

2060
03:49:02.180 --> 03:49:07.800
Michael Jensen: the request here is. and that the Waiver P

2061
03:49:07.810 --> 03:49:13.570
Michael Jensen: with drawn or revoked because it was based on incorrect information.

2062
03:49:14.030 --> 03:49:22.300
jim murez: Okay, that put it per pretty simply. All right, let's go to public comment. I think that makes a pretty simple case. and if we have questions later we can ask.

2063
03:49:22.670 --> 03:49:23.390
Michael Jensen: Sure.

2064
03:49:25.370 --> 03:49:28.140
jim murez: Melissa looks like we have some hands up.

2065
03:49:38.350 --> 03:49:39.540
melissa diner : Helen. Go ahead.

2066
03:49:39.830 --> 03:49:43.940
Helen Fallon: So I don't think there should be any opposition to this. This is a a

2067
03:49:44.920 --> 03:49:50.560
Helen Fallon: something that is out there. a permit that was given under false

2068
03:49:50.600 --> 03:49:58.190
Helen Fallon: the false information of the they don't own it. The city owns this property, it needs to be canceled. So it

2069
03:49:58.390 --> 03:50:06.410
Helen Fallon: removes this from any possibility that this could ever be used because it doesn't have a termination date the demolition. So

2070
03:50:06.640 --> 03:50:12.660
Helen Fallon: vote to vote for this motion and get that, and get make that

2071
03:50:14.920 --> 03:50:18.300
melissa diner : things rob the letter.

2072
03:50:19.640 --> 03:50:22.690
n: Yes. i'm really surprised.

2073
03:50:22.820 --> 03:50:24.360
Nice Jim.

2074
03:50:24.400 --> 03:50:27.260
n: especially you, Mr. Treasurer.

2075
03:50:27.420 --> 03:50:31.470
n: it's an illegal motion violates the city charter.

2076
03:50:32.050 --> 03:50:39.080
n: You can't advantage the Coastal Commission done. You can only advise

2077
03:50:39.310 --> 03:50:46.930
n: city official city officials, commissions, Commission Council members and Council members. Yes.

2078
03:50:47.000 --> 03:50:56.910
n: the California Coastal Commission is Ryan and chaired by gods. these people are the most powerful people in California.

2079
03:50:57.010 --> 03:50:57.840
Yeah.

2080
03:50:57.870 --> 03:51:11.770
n: they're not gonna listen to you. Therefore you have to direct this to your new later, the CD 11 miss far. and she needs to bring it to the floor of the Council.

2081
03:51:12.300 --> 03:51:22.950
n: who can then give it to the city attorney. But we must save the little tiny thing, after all. It's my bonnet's favorite monument.

2082
03:51:23.220 --> 03:51:26.800
n: and we all love you. Thank you.

2083
03:51:26.970 --> 03:51:28.690
melissa diner : Margaret. Go ahead.

2084
03:51:31.070 --> 03:51:35.470
Margaret Molloy: Okay. S0 2 things are really at issue here.

2085
03:51:35.850 --> 03:51:48.260
Margaret Molloy: The motion is very incomprehensible, As Michelle pointed out. You know the format just doesn't help us. But anyway, ownership is clearly an issue. But it's an issue, and many

2086
03:51:48.410 --> 03:51:54.690
Margaret Molloy: development permits in Venice, including 8 12 main next door to you, Jim. And

2087
03:51:54.890 --> 03:51:59.470
Margaret Molloy: you guys, Don't consistently call this out. So I really condemn that.

2088
03:51:59.520 --> 03:52:16.960
Margaret Molloy: you know. Call it out when it suits you. But not for all of these greedy developers. That's really not cool. But it is obviously a very fundamental issue wh0 0wns the damn property. And then this section, whereas, pursuant to the conditions, the waiver. If the project, plans, or information, the application.

2089
03:52:16.960 --> 03:52:25.310
Margaret Molloy: are found to be incorrect or the plans revised, this decision will become invalid, and any development occurring must cease until a coastal development permit

2090
03:52:25.540 --> 03:52:30.350
Margaret Molloy: is obtained, or any discrepancy rule is resolved in writing.

2091
03:52:30.520 --> 03:52:40.420
Margaret Molloy: This happens constantly in Venice, and none of you call it out. So the hypocrisy.

2092
03:52:42.350 --> 03:53:01.690
Robin Murez: Hi: so yeah, it's. This coastal development permit. Waiver was given to the county for a city owned property where they pretended to that waiver at Jim if you could pull it up with a screen, share the waiver says on it

2093
03:53:01.910 --> 03:53:15.210
Robin Murez: on its face that it's county owned, and it's not. And then it says that it is in the end of its useful life. When, in fact, the county's own assessment shows that there are no

2094
03:53:15.350 --> 03:53:19.920
Robin Murez: structural deficiencies. It was this whole

2095
03:53:20.000 --> 03:53:23.160
Robin Murez: false information, that, and

2096
03:53:23.320 --> 03:53:32.830
Robin Murez: effort to circumvent the legal procedures that was conducted by a few staffers at the county, and

2097
03:53:33.200 --> 03:53:43.470
Robin Murez: when I, as an individual, requested that this be invalidated, based on what the permit reads at the top, that it will be invalidated if information is found to be false.

2098
03:53:44.210 --> 03:54:00.760
Robin Murez: Coastal Commission said, oh, no, we'll just let it go. Talk to the counting. Well, we did the research, and we finally got this stopped by the Department of Record Parks. But so there's 2 points here, one. This should be invalidated because it is completely false, and you

2099
03:54:00.760 --> 03:54:06.640
Robin Murez: County has said they would move along with this, even if they didn't have city's approval. Secondly.

2100
03:54:06.670 --> 03:54:18.630
Robin Murez: this is not the behavior that we should condone by anybody in government, much less friends or enemies to be lying about things, and to get away with it.

2101
03:54:18.680 --> 03:54:32.090
Robin Murez: We all jump through hoops to get coastal permits, and here they are, knowingly giving false information. and the coastal develop. The Coastal Commission is allowing it

2102
03:54:32.100 --> 03:54:33.330
Robin Murez: to stand

2103
03:54:33.530 --> 03:54:38.690
Robin Murez: it's completely preposterous. I feel that the the documents to

2104
03:54:39.040 --> 03:54:43.110
Robin Murez: understand the lies. We're 20 page documents.

2105
03:54:43.320 --> 03:55:00.110
Robin Murez: I read them, and I found the lies. The Coastal Commission should not have to read all the underlying documents. They and all the departments of the city and the county, and the state that relied upon this should be able to rely upon their

2106
03:55:00.370 --> 03:55:11.460
Robin Murez: What do you call people in other departments. To tell the truth.

2107
03:55:11.870 --> 03:55:16.270
jim murez: thank you. Do we have any?

2108
03:55:17.180 --> 03:55:21.220
Jim Robb: Yes. I agree with Robin on this, and my

2109
03:55:21.480 --> 03:55:29.790
Jim Robb: analyst on this is, if the if the county was paying the city a dollar a year, and they've had it for 40 years.

2110
03:55:29.900 --> 03:55:36.660
Jim Robb: You think that with the money they save that they would upkeep this if I was a owner of a apartment.

2111
03:55:36.670 --> 03:55:43.380
Jim Robb: and I read it the apartment out to somebody, and then went back in, and they had never did any repairs or anything to it

2112
03:55:43.470 --> 03:55:46.140
Jim Robb: then that that wouldn't be possible. So I mean

2113
03:55:46.410 --> 03:56:03.420
Jim Robb: it. It's not our problem that the county did not upkeep this building that was part of their that was part of their deal when they signed the deal to to pay a dollar a year to to use the facility they have. They have let it go to shit.

2114
03:56:03.460 --> 03:56:07.710
Jim Robb: and I think it's responsible for them to upgrade it to where it needs to be

2115
03:56:07.770 --> 03:56:22.140
Jim Robb: that it's it's not. You know. It's not our problem. They They paid a dollar a year for this thing. So

2116
03:56:22.550 --> 03:56:37.760
Jim Robb: the Fish aquarium in Santa Monica put some bathrooms. There. Make it the visitor center for Venice. There's ample parking shoot. Make a make more restrooms. We only got 12 restrooms in all of Venice. There's a lot of things that that can be used for.

2117
03:56:37.810 --> 03:56:42.830
Jim Robb: and the city has it. The county has a dead what they're supposed to with the piece of property.

2118
03:56:43.030 --> 03:56:50.340
jim murez: Thank you. Thank you, Jim. Any other hands I I I. In reading this it it does

2119
03:56:50.380 --> 03:57:01.330
jim murez: state here that the Board of Officers request the California Coast of commission to do something. We don't have a direct channel of communication to them unless we're just gonna write them a letter.

2120
03:57:01.440 --> 03:57:07.590
Michael Jensen: So I would actually propose an amendment that we request the city Attorney's office. Make this request.

2121
03:57:07.990 --> 03:57:12.190
jim murez: Okay, so do you want to do that as an alternate motion?

2122
03:57:32.400 --> 03:57:37.280
jim murez: Now, therefore, the Venice Neighborhood Council Board of Officers requests that.

2123
03:57:38.400 --> 03:57:39.930
jim murez: And where do I go from here?

2124
03:57:40.530 --> 03:57:43.080
Michael Jensen: Hold on, let me pull up my version of it.

2125
03:57:43.240 --> 03:57:54.230
Michael Jensen: Okay, it's on the screen. It's the

2126
03:57:54.790 --> 03:57:57.770
Michael Jensen: that the city attorney

2127
03:57:59.860 --> 03:58:05.160
Michael Jensen: transmit a letter to the California Coastal Commission to invalidate for requesting

2128
03:58:08.020 --> 03:58:09.980
Michael Jensen: to invalidate. Yeah.

2129
03:58:22.420 --> 03:58:28.070
Michael Jensen: no. A letter to the California Coastal Commission to

2130
03:58:30.830 --> 03:58:31.950
jim murez: just like that.

2131
03:58:36.470 --> 03:58:37.360
jim murez: Okay.

2132
03:58:37.370 --> 03:58:38.510
Michael Jensen: Yep.

2133
03:58:39.050 --> 03:58:42.080
jim murez: All right. Any other Board comment.

2134
03:58:45.810 --> 03:58:48.340

jim murez: solid. Add.

2167
04:00:19.890 --> 04:00:21.850
CJ Cole: Cj: Yes.

04:00:22.590 --> 04:00:24.050
jim murez: thank you. Cj.

2169
04:00:25.310 --> 04:00:26.810
jim murez: And I think that's it.

2170
04:00:26.870 --> 04:00:28.930
I will abstain.

2171
04:00:30.970 --> 04:00:35.090
jim murez: Actually, I think i'll vote. Yes, I think this is a very important thing to do.

2172
04:00:36.080 --> 04:00:39.730
jim murez: Okay, moving right along to new business.

2173
04:00:43.390 --> 04:00:45.220
jim murez: So this was submitted by me.

2174
04:00:45.730 --> 04:00:53.280
jim murez: So this is a council file that, but I guess we should first get a maker. Somebody make the motion.

2175
04:00:56.500 --> 04:00:57.570
jay handal: I'll move it.

2176
04:00:57.800 --> 04:01:00.890
jim murez: Who is that? Okay? Thank you. J:

2177
04:01:06.790 --> 04:01:10.380
So for those of you that Haven't read it. Basically this is a

2178
04:01:10.400 --> 04:01:18.180
jim murez: council file that exists that is coming up. It has to do with lobbying.

2179
04:01:18.200 --> 04:01:21.730
It's a lobbying ordinance. They're trying to

2180
04:01:21.750 --> 04:01:23.990
jay handal: tighten up

2181
04:01:24.210 --> 04:01:26.790
jim murez: the rules about

2182
04:01:26.920 --> 04:01:34.180
jim murez: how people identify themselves at meetings, not necessarily representing themselves as lobbyists, even though they are.

2183
04:01:34.240 --> 04:01:38.870
jim murez: And and I think the Vnc. Should weigh in on this.

2184
04:01:39.020 --> 04:01:40.930
Do we have any public comments?

2185
04:01:41.140 --> 04:01:43.320
Ivan: Okay, I'm. Jim. Yes.

2186
04:01:43.510 --> 04:01:48.840
Ivan: But before you get started with that, the motion is is not well worded.

2187
04:01:49.090 --> 04:01:51.290
Can I suggest the

2188
04:01:51.520 --> 04:01:58.690
Ivan: It's not an alternative. You just need to move things around a little bit

2189
04:02:00.860 --> 04:02:05.220
Ivan: shall submit a community impact statement

2190
04:02:12.660 --> 04:02:18.730
Ivan: in support of counsel, file. blah, blah, blah, Blah. Okay.

2191
04:02:21.240 --> 04:02:23.720
jim murez: Community impact statement

2192
04:02:24.280 --> 04:02:26.410
Ivan: in in support of

2193
04:02:27.740 --> 04:02:29.430
jim murez: Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying.

2194
04:02:29.570 --> 04:02:30.970
Ivan: Account profile.

2195
04:02:31.810 --> 04:02:33.540
Ivan: Okay.

2196
04:02:35.820 --> 04:02:38.090
Ivan: and then take out the end.

2197
04:02:49.140 --> 04:02:49.750
Ivan: Yeah.

2198
04:02:50.680 --> 04:02:53.160
Ivan: okay.

2199
04:02:53.460 --> 04:02:56.320
jim murez: okay, public comment. Do we have any public comments.

2200
04:02:58.430 --> 04:02:59.440
jim murez: Melissa?

2201
04:03:02.790 --> 04:03:03.990
melissa diner : I'm: looking

2202
04:03:06.100 --> 04:03:07.700
melissa diner : letter. Go ahead.

2203
04:03:10.750 --> 04:03:13.510
n: Yeah. like the Scarlet Letter.

2204
04:03:15.330 --> 04:03:27.310
n: So you know but support. This lobbying is the big problem at City Hall. Isn't it, Jake. and we need to ban certain types of things that

2205
04:03:27.330 --> 04:03:41.130
n: get our council people in trouble. and therefore I would like a specific amendment to add the following: that we should ban. We show that bottle service within 500 feet of a casino.

2206
04:03:41.340 --> 04:03:45.410
n: I agree we should van the use of prostitutes

2207
04:03:45.580 --> 04:03:50.460
n: unless it's permitted by local codes in the state of Nevada.

2208
04:03:50.510 --> 04:03:54.510
n: I agree there shall be no prostitutes a while.

2209
04:03:54.570 --> 04:04:10.270
n: male or female, within the State of California or the county of Los Angeles, to lobby our commissioners and our Council members here. Here. These amendments right now would stop most of the corruption at City Hall.

2210
04:04:10.640 --> 04:04:12.100
n: and finally.

2211
04:04:12.120 --> 04:04:16.780
and I will note this t0 0ur new Council members. Remember, people

2212
04:04:17.060 --> 04:04:25.040
n: don't count $500,000 cash in your private bedroom at the foot or City Hall.

2213
04:04:25.100 --> 04:04:32.580
n: because people in the building are spying on all you Council members.

2214
04:04:36.460 --> 04:04:38.210
melissa diner : Okay, Margaret, go ahead.

2215
04:04:38.750 --> 04:04:50.410
Margaret Molloy: So I think there's a really significant issue with architects who are functioning as representatives on projects not registering as lobbyists and seeking very

2216
04:04:52.050 --> 04:04:55.920
Margaret Molloy: significant benefits and artful ways for their clients.

2217
04:04:55.940 --> 04:05:13.510
Margaret Molloy: And there's an example of 1,639 at Ackinney, where it is the architecture firm as applicant, and there's a lot of nonconforming benefits or existing nonconforming rights that are maintained as benefits. But demolition for exceeds approved plans.

2218
04:05:13.600 --> 04:05:21.180
Margaret Molloy: So in scenarios like this: you really look at it and say, Why is that architecture firm, not registered as lobbyist?

2219
04:05:21.220 --> 04:05:28.820
Margaret Molloy: So I think you know you all know there's extreme development in Venice. It's a big issue. Please look into it. Thank you.

2220
04:05:32.060 --> 04:05:34.150
melissa diner : Lisa Redmond. Go ahead.

2221
04:05:37.840 --> 04:05:40.940
Yeah. I pulled this off consent.

2222
04:05:40.980 --> 04:05:49.270
Lisa Redmond: because for the pure fact that once again. I hate how tis's are rushing to the board.

2223
04:05:49.290 --> 04:05:54.700
Lisa Redmond: and without being heard in community, and especially

2224
04:05:55.970 --> 04:06:05.350
Lisa Redmond: for something like this, you can't have it. Be on consent without the public hearing it basis, especially just off Margaret's last account

2225
04:06:05.490 --> 04:06:17.810
Lisa Redmond: comment: this is absolutely true. I am in complete favor of this. You guys need to be much better at following along what's going on with Council files? I know You're all volunteers before you tell me this, but you all accepted the job

2226
04:06:17.840 --> 04:06:28.560
Lisa Redmond: when you took it. This has been floating around since the end of October. There's no reason why it had to wait this long to come on. It's very important that we need these reforms.

2227
04:06:28.580 --> 04:06:39.320
Lisa Redmond: and I urge you all to vote yes on this, so that we can get a a decent community impact statement from this Council to the County City Council. Thank you.

2228
04:06:39.760 --> 04:06:41.390
melissa diner : Okay, Go ahead.

2229
04:06:43.440 --> 04:06:57.560
Erica Moore: Hi. I'm always for transparency. That's one of the big issues we've had in East Venice is the lack of transparency with many of these developments very, very frustrating, and it's really compromising our neighborhood.

2230
04:06:57.820 --> 04:07:02.700
Erica Moore: I strongly urge you to to support this, and

2231
04:07:02.860 --> 04:07:11.100
Erica Moore: I think that a lot of what Margaret talked about is really true, and I really think that a lot of people are not aware. I think enough people don't attend these meetings.

2232
04:07:11.120 --> 04:07:18.830
Erica Moore: and I think a lot of people don't really understand what's really happening in this community. And i'm just really hoping that there can be

2233
04:07:19.070 --> 04:07:21.000
Erica Moore: some accountability. Thank you.

2234
04:07:22.590 --> 04:07:26.670
melissa diner : That's it, Jim Board. Comment. Sima Alley. That's it.

2235
04:07:26.840 --> 04:07:28.770
jim murez: Okay, i'll take care of the port stuff.

2236
04:07:32.770 --> 04:07:35.680
jim murez: Sima. go ahead. Your hand is up.

2237
04:07:40.850 --> 04:07:42.540
jim murez: Sima, did you have your hand up?

2238
04:07:58.410 --> 04:08:06.360
jim murez: Okay, then we've already finished that one? No, I don't you weren't on the recording, so I don't know what to say. We've already finish that item.

2239
04:08:07.750 --> 04:08:09.090
jim murez: It did pass, though

2240
04:08:23.420 --> 04:08:27.640
Alley Bean: 10 items are so that we we can go home and not hear more items after this

2241
04:08:28.630 --> 04:08:45.730
jim murez: i'm, i'm ready to vote for this, but I just after that I I didn't know where it went to hand up, so I have that it i'm telling you I went get my hair straightened out.

2242
04:08:46.570 --> 04:09:05.290
jim murez: so I didn't know how to bring that up if it was a point of order or whatever. But just

2243
04:09:05.750 --> 04:09:14.340
Alley Bean: you can't move. You can't move to adjourn. We're not allowed to do that and just let them hear the public people speak on them whatever's left.

2244
04:09:28.460 --> 04:09:35.070
jim murez: Okay, let's let's go back. We have people who have their hand up. They're waiting to speak deaf Adult.

2245
04:09:35.820 --> 04:09:44.500
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. I would just say, support. This. This is really important that a week, you know, the lobbying rules in La are so lax as it is.

2246
04:09:45.820 --> 04:09:55.820
Daffodil Tyminski: so I think it's a really good idea that we support them doing. Thank you Didn't mean to interrupt Robert. Go ahead, please.

2247
04:09:58.160 --> 04:10:00.060
jim murez: That's on mute Robert.

2248
04:10:01.030 --> 04:10:06.480
I'm in favor of this as well, and I think we've got

2249
04:10:07.680 --> 04:10:17.220
robertthibodeau: a lot of groups out here, and we've heard some of the people speak. There was a a female earlier spoke who are part of lobbying groups. They they tend to be

2250
04:10:17.700 --> 04:10:24.230
robertthibodeau: anti-development lobby groups that are anti-business and anti-family. and

2251
04:10:24.430 --> 04:10:33.760
robertthibodeau: they are very firmly entrenched in lobbying and they should be registered as lobbyists, and I think you all know who we are talking about.

2252
04:10:34.260 --> 04:10:35.860
robertthibodeau: and

2253
04:10:36.250 --> 04:10:43.320
robertthibodeau: they use the appeal system gratuitously. Public funds, public money. They're wasting your money

2254
04:10:45.270 --> 04:10:53.690
robertthibodeau: and everybody's time, and they should all be registered as lobbyists, and they should identify themselves as such.

2255
04:10:54.720 --> 04:10:57.150
jim murez: Thank you, Robert J. Go ahead

2256
04:10:59.090 --> 04:11:07.320

2287
04:12:05.180 --> 04:12:10.790
jim murez: I'm gonna vote. Yes, especially since I put it on. The motion carries 16 0 0.

2288
04:12:14.120 --> 04:12:17.630
jim murez: J: this was your motion. Do you want to go ahead? And

2289
04:12:17.740 --> 04:12:23.500
jay handal: Yeah, it's just very briefly. You want to be the maker we need to make her.

2290
04:12:24.740 --> 04:12:27.490
Vicki Halliday: We need a second.

2291
04:12:28.170 --> 04:12:29.510
jim murez: I'm: sorry. Who was that?

2292
04:12:31.650 --> 04:12:32.860
jim murez: Thank you, Ali.

2293
04:12:34.080 --> 04:12:35.620
jim murez: Okay, go ahead and explain.

2294
04:12:35.830 --> 04:12:43.230
jay handal: So the mayor has proposed somebody to be the new representative for the West Side on bunk.

2295
04:12:43.520 --> 04:12:49.040
The mayor did not vet that through any of the councils or any of the Council people.

2296
04:12:49.230 --> 04:12:58.900
jay handal: The person that she is proposing is is opposed by literally everybody on the West Side

2297
04:12:59.060 --> 04:13:13.540
jay handal: for the actions he's taken in the past against neighborhood councils and threats he's made to done and to the neighborhood councils. So we're asking in this particular motion that the mayor withdraw it.

2298
04:13:13.700 --> 04:13:16.600
jay handal: and then go through the process of vetting

2299
04:13:16.640 --> 04:13:35.510
jay handal: appointments through the Neighborhood Council system, and not make us irrelevant to the people who are actually representing us. This this motion is on most of the Council's agendas, or has passed already in the councils on the West side, and I would urge this board to vote

2300
04:13:35.660 --> 04:13:43.340
jay handal: that we get better representation by being able to help vet these candidates.

2301
04:13:43.390 --> 04:13:50.220
jim murez: Thank you, Jay, and for those of you that don't know Bonk is the port of Neighborhood Commissioners.

2302
04:13:50.430 --> 04:13:55.740
jim murez: Before we open this for public comment. Ivan, I have a question.

2303
04:13:58.090 --> 04:13:59.030
Ivan: Okay.

2304
04:13:59.510 --> 04:14:15.870
jim murez: I would like t0 0ffer a slight modification. But I don't know if it needs to be an alternate motion. I would like this to also be sent to the West L. A region of of neighborhood councils through the the the

2305
04:14:15.950 --> 04:14:23.680
jim murez: and I'm: wondering if we can, we? Yeah, you can just have that in. Is that okay? Second, No, it's an amendment. So

2306
04:14:24.190 --> 04:14:26.620
jim murez: so, J. Would you

2307
04:14:26.640 --> 04:14:39.900
Ivan: go along with that as an amendment? 0 0f course I

2308
04:14:39.930 --> 04:14:58.000
jay handal: So it does go to City council. It's going to Council committee, and then being brought to council, we're.

2309
04:15:02.090 --> 04:15:07.280
jay handal: Yeah. Yeah. Most of the Council people are already well aware of this request.

2310
04:15:07.520 --> 04:15:08.650
Ivan: All right.

2311
04:15:08.890 --> 04:15:11.610
jay handal: Just making that end

2312
04:15:12.460 --> 04:15:15.170
jay handal: good good idea. Send it to everybody.

2313
04:15:15.190 --> 04:15:17.170
jim murez: so we'll just.

2314
04:15:17.470 --> 04:15:19.780
jim murez: I just put in here. CC

2315
04:15:20.150 --> 04:15:21.950
Council

2316
04:15:22.650 --> 04:15:24.490
jim murez: District 11

2317
04:15:24.970 --> 04:15:26.970
jim murez: and rack

2318
04:15:28.750 --> 04:15:31.820
melissa diner : It's just who we are sending it to.

2319
04:15:31.830 --> 04:15:33.910
jim murez: That's who we'll send it to. That's right.

2320
04:15:34.410 --> 04:15:44.880
Ivan: Right. That that should be okay. What? You're not changing the motion in any way.

2321
04:15:45.040 --> 04:15:45.860
Ivan: Okay.

2322
04:15:45.960 --> 04:15:46.800
jim murez: Okay.

2323
04:15:47.290 --> 04:15:49.110
Now, public comment.

2324
04:15:50.190 --> 04:15:51.170
Jim.

2325
04:15:51.600 --> 04:15:55.610
Clark Brown: before public comment. May I be heard on a, on a, on an amendment?

2326
04:15:57.620 --> 04:16:01.490
melissa diner : No, you have to make an amendment with someone else to second it.

2327
04:16:01.940 --> 04:16:04.020
jim murez: Wait, wait, hold on! What is it, Clark?

2328
04:16:04.300 --> 04:16:09.650
Clark Brown: I think this: the the motion can be simplified and clarified by stating that

2329
04:16:09.660 --> 04:16:19.090
Clark Brown: the Vnc. Board requests Mayor bass to consult with neighborhood councils and alliances prior to appointing regional commissioners

2330
04:16:20.380 --> 04:16:26.730
jay handal: that doesn't work guys, because she's already made an appointment. We need her to always

2331
04:16:26.950 --> 04:16:32.490
Clark Brown: Okay, let's say that that the Vnc. Request Mayor Mayor Bastard to

2332
04:16:42.750 --> 04:16:51.310
Ivan: a clock that would be a separate motion. Yeah, I was like my. The process is probably in the city charter.

2333
04:16:52.730 --> 04:17:08.960
jim murez: you know, which requires a whole different level.

2334
04:17:08.960 --> 04:17:18.240
jim murez: and we'll hear it at this at at next Month's meeting. Okay, I I think you're right in what you're asking for. Let's do it through the correct channels. Okay.

2335
04:17:18.810 --> 04:17:26.870
jim murez: there's no rush on that. This is this particular thing. It needs to happen immediately if we can get it to happen. Let's take public comment at this point.

2336
04:17:28.190 --> 04:17:31.780
melissa diner : Melissa. Do we have any hands up?

2337
04:17:35.360 --> 04:17:39.590
I'm gonna urge all of you to say no to this or postpone it.

2338
04:17:39.690 --> 04:17:47.210
Lisa Redmond: This is a wildly inappropriate motion that your treasurer tried to sneak through on consent.

2339
04:17:47.880 --> 04:17:52.190
Lisa Redmond: It's based calling on a gossipy email

2340
04:17:52.340 --> 04:17:58.140
Lisa Redmond: that says all this wild things about a person with no proof.

2341
04:17:58.340 --> 04:18:17.720
Lisa Redmond: And then for him to even make an opinion like everyone on the West Side doesn't like this guy. Well, who is this guy? Name a name? Where's the transparency for the public and the stakeholders to do their own investigation about this person. Where is the proof that this person lied and did all these terrible things that you're accusing him of?

2342
04:18:17.740 --> 04:18:19.080
Lisa Redmond: It is just

2343
04:18:19.160 --> 04:18:34.030
Lisa Redmond: very gossipy, Very High school is very mean, girls. I think it's ridiculous. I think you need to provide, and it is very much finger pointing without name in a name, even though you, friend, you're not a finger pointer earlier.

2344
04:18:34.120 --> 04:18:38.770
Lisa Redmond: Don't vote for this. Postpon it for more information. Thank you.

2345
04:18:41.130 --> 04:18:42.530
jim murez: Do we have any other hands.

2346
04:18:46.860 --> 04:18:49.760
Jill Crosby: Did you, Melissa, Did you call on me.

2347
04:18:50.100 --> 04:18:51.250
Jill Crosby: Jill Crosby?

2348
04:18:52.390 --> 04:18:55.020
Margaret Molloy: I have my hand up also. It's Margaret Moly.

2349
04:19:04.000 --> 04:19:07.580
melissa diner : It's Jill's turn. Then we'll call on everyone else. Thanks so much.

2350
04:19:08.050 --> 04:19:19.970
Jill Crosby: Okay, thanks, Melissa. I I mean, aside from who this person is, or the vetting of this person, I do agree in the idea that it would be

2351
04:19:20.100 --> 04:19:32.290
Jill Crosby: behoove us as the West Side, to have the mayor work with us on a placing a commissioner with us. I mean it would my preference would have been that she had worked with Tracy Parks

2352
04:19:32.300 --> 04:19:48.960
Jill Crosby: to find a way to nominate someone who was familiar with the West Side. I do think that transparency in terms of who this person is would be helpful not to do a witch hunt, but just to do a vetting, nonetheless, irregardless of

2353
04:19:48.990 --> 04:20:03.100
Jill Crosby: it's just to Vet, whomever would be coming towards the West Side, but agreed that it would be the best if we could actually work with the Mayor to place our own community in place. Thanks.

2354
04:20:04.180 --> 04:20:05.460
melissa diner : Thank you.

2355
04:20:06.600 --> 04:20:08.640
melissa diner : Helen. Go ahead.

2356
04:20:11.500 --> 04:20:14.820
Yeah, the background statement is

2357
04:20:14.870 --> 04:20:18.650
Helen Fallon: basically not English. It's incoherent. And

2358
04:20:18.720 --> 04:20:25.460
Helen Fallon: this motion is just really confusing. It seems to be 2 motions. This is the word motion. It's capitalized twice.

2359
04:20:25.850 --> 04:20:35.520
Helen Fallon: There actually is a council file, and I don't know why this is good without reference to that council file which might have given up people a lot more information.

2360
04:20:35.840 --> 04:20:37.360
What this is all about

2361
04:20:37.410 --> 04:20:38.790
Helen Fallon: It's just sloppy.

2362
04:20:39.150 --> 04:20:44.360
Helen Fallon: and I don't understand why this was put on the agenda without being reviewed by

2363
04:20:44.410 --> 04:20:56.090
Helen Fallon: any kind of committee or anything. We don't have the ability for our board members and our bylaws to submit motions like this, and just get them put on the agenda

2364
04:20:56.280 --> 04:20:58.170
Helen Fallon: couple of days after they submit it.

2365
04:20:58.210 --> 04:21:04.030
Helen Fallon: This is

2366
04:21:05.720 --> 04:21:09.200
melissa diner : thanks, Robin Muirz. Go ahead.

2367
04:21:11.320 --> 04:21:21.000
Robin Murez: I I would concur with the previous callers. I think that there it's not appropriate for

2368
04:21:21.010 --> 04:21:40.880
Robin Murez: our Neighborhood Council to be making a demand of our new mayor. I think we need to look at the language of this and the intent, and also the transparency. The notion that all of the neighborhood of West Side councils are in agreement. That's really

2369
04:21:40.930 --> 04:21:42.290
Robin Murez: a a very

2370
04:21:42.930 --> 04:21:56.480
Robin Murez: non transparent statement, and I think that this kind of thing just shouldn't go through. We need to. We have brand new elected officials. We don't need to start out being pompous and

2371
04:21:56.490 --> 04:22:05.490
Robin Murez: dictatorial. This really should go through proper channels. I think Clark has a better view of how this should be done. I let's like

2372
04:22:05.930 --> 04:22:08.820
Robin Murez: review this before it goes through. Thank you.

2373
04:22:09.540 --> 04:22:11.810
melissa diner : Thanks, Margaret. Go ahead.

2374
04:22:11.910 --> 04:22:20.090
Margaret Molloy: I'm asking you to pull it. It's a ridiculous motion. This person has not been fully vetted, and is the application that false information on it?

2375
04:22:20.180 --> 04:22:33.830
Margaret Molloy: I've no idea who you're talking about. I have no idea what your claims are. It's just an unacceptable and J. Handle you sound like you have a personal issue when you say that the city attorney and all the Council people oppose this.

2376
04:22:34.510 --> 04:22:35.830
Who are you talking to?

2377
04:22:36.560 --> 04:22:49.530
Margaret Molloy: This is a public process. These are public representatives. It's not your agenda, your vendetta. Call this motion. It's ridiculous, and the fact that it was a consent. It's just insane. So you know.

2378
04:22:49.560 --> 04:22:53.850
Margaret Molloy: step up the professionalism, please. I think Clark has a better idea. But

2379
04:22:53.980 --> 04:22:57.840
Margaret Molloy: this is this whole agenda is messy is, you know

2380
04:22:59.000 --> 04:23:08.810
Margaret Molloy: It's a it's a volunteer position, but it's a lot of power that you think you're wielding, and you're telling people what to do. You're telling the Coastal Commission. Now you're telling the mayor

2381
04:23:09.040 --> 04:23:12.870
Margaret Molloy: grow up. Please pull this at pull. This motion is terrible.

2382
04:23:14.260 --> 04:23:16.020
melissa diner : Okay, n word, go ahead.

2383
04:23:17.840 --> 04:23:18.940
n: That's right.

2384
04:23:19.400 --> 04:23:24.860
n: So Jay name names. Who are we talking about?

2385
04:23:25.480 --> 04:23:32.460
n: It Seems like you really hate this person. and maybe goat puppet will agree. What should

2386
04:23:33.440 --> 04:23:36.580
n: people that J. Hates cook up and lines

2387
04:23:36.730 --> 04:23:38.880
n: other times? He agrees.

2388
04:23:38.910 --> 04:23:42.750
n: Who is this this demon that you're talking about?

2389
04:23:43.240 --> 04:23:45.720
Satan worshipper.

2390
04:23:46.260 --> 04:23:57.590
n: I thought you like to double. Yes, I do. but they're not naming the name. so I don't know who to hate. It Sounds like somebody i'd like to hate.

2391
04:23:57.850 --> 04:24:07.720
n: and I try my best to do as much as I can to hate the people that I should hate. But in this case I don't even know who I am eating.

2392
04:24:07.800 --> 04:24:08.780
If you, if you can.

2393
04:24:08.950 --> 04:24:16.400
n: Can I trust you, Jake? Am I supposed to hate this person? Tell me, Jay, what am I supposed to do?

2394
04:24:16.720 --> 04:24:19.730
Jay, give us some help. Here, man! Who's Who is it?

2395
04:24:20.150 --> 04:24:21.980
melissa diner : Thank you.

2396
04:24:23.900 --> 04:24:25.840
melissa diner : Go ahead!

2397
04:24:34.380 --> 04:24:36.320
melissa diner : Go ahead! No longer

2398
04:24:36.520 --> 04:24:37.780
1310****690: am I here

2399
04:24:39.300 --> 04:24:41.450
1310****690: and my on. Thank you very much.

2400
04:24:42.800 --> 04:24:49.380
1310****690: I read a lot of articles, especially on city watch. This was an article that was written on City Watch

2401
04:24:49.390 --> 04:24:53.960
regarding how the commissioners are being appointed t0 0ur bunk.

2402
04:24:54.030 --> 04:25:03.080
1310****690: and I think we need to pay more attention to this. and I will agree with Jay that what is happening is that they want to reduce our voice.

2403
04:25:03.190 --> 04:25:13.820
And this is why i'm running on for for office again. Because I don't want to be shut down. and all of a sudden they're just picking people

2404
04:25:14.240 --> 04:25:15.770
1310****690: at City Hall

2405
04:25:15.860 --> 04:25:17.320
to go into these

2406
04:25:17.690 --> 04:25:29.110
1310****690: positions to really start putting more demand on the Neighborhood Council without knowing that we are already part of the charter.

2407
04:25:29.510 --> 04:25:34.020
1310****690: and I think we need to review what Jay is saying, because he is correct

2408
04:25:34.070 --> 04:25:38.790
as to what is happening, and I think this should go to Tracy Park.

2409
04:25:39.010 --> 04:25:47.140
melissa diner : Tracy Park can have an influence on the Mayor right now, and the Mayor needs to wake up.

2410
04:25:47.360 --> 04:25:49.590
melissa diner : Go ahead. That's it.

2411
04:25:49.730 --> 04:25:51.200
jim murez: Oh, thank you.

2412
04:25:53.460 --> 04:25:58.960
jim murez: Okay. Does anybody on the board? I mean, you say deaf, they'll go ahead.

2413
04:25:59.250 --> 04:26:12.080
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah. I was trying to confirm the exact number. But what people need to understand is that our city has a very small city council for its size. The county has a very small County Supervisor

2414
04:26:12.230 --> 04:26:22.120
Daffodil Tyminski: Board for its size. and much of the work of the city, and much of the law making policy making and decision making in the city goes through commissions.

2415
04:26:22.230 --> 04:26:27.460
I'm. I was trying to confirm the number. There's maybe almost 200,000

2416
04:26:27.540 --> 04:26:37.680
Daffodil Tyminski: appointed commissioners that actually do all the work that decision makers and lawmakers do in every other city in the country. We are literally the only city that has this problem.

2417
04:26:37.700 --> 04:26:55.560
Daffodil Tyminski: So when you think about who these commissioners are, and how they get appointed. Think about. These are the people that are going to govern various aspects of your life. In this case it's like and bonk. We've got planning. We've got parks. We've got so many different areas where the people that are appointed are kind of appointed

2418
04:26:55.560 --> 04:27:04.110
Daffodil Tyminski: in silence and usually in darkness, so I completely support, and I don't know this person. I don't know what's going on here.

2419
04:27:04.160 --> 04:27:06.650
Daffodil Tyminski: I don't really care, because I think it

2420
04:27:06.650 --> 04:27:27.550
Daffodil Tyminski: it's a principle. If we, when we have commissioners being pointed by the Mayor's office, they are largely political. They were completely political under gar setting, and it's something that we really need to fix in the city, because is where the majority of decisions are made and work gets done, and there's no voter accountability, and we never see it happen.

2421
04:27:27.800 --> 04:27:41.550
Daffodil Tyminski: So I just think it's foolhardy to not support something like this, because this is something that is, people as as taxpayers in Los Angeles, we really need to push back on. So I completely support this motion.

2422
04:27:43.030 --> 04:27:48.260
jim murez: Okay, J: I see your hands up. I'm going to call on you last because you were the maker of the motion

2423
04:27:48.310 --> 04:28:06.850
Clark Brown: do we have? Oh, Clark, your hand went up. Go ahead.

2424
04:28:06.950 --> 04:28:10.580
Clark Brown: and, I think can be stated very simply that the

2425
04:28:10.650 --> 04:28:15.310
Clark Brown: for to the Venice Neighborhood Council

2426
04:28:15.630 --> 04:28:25.390
Clark Brown: disapproves of the appointment of Ms. X. As the Commissioner for West Side Board of the Neighborhood Commissions.

2427
04:28:25.630 --> 04:28:33.670
Clark Brown: because the Venice Neighborhood Council and the other councils were not consulted regarding this appointment.

2428
04:28:35.970 --> 04:28:37.830
jim murez: Okay, Clark.

2429
04:28:39.080 --> 04:28:48.570
jim murez: you were on a roll there. and I was just about to say you could see if anybody would second an alternate motion.

2430
04:28:48.600 --> 04:28:51.110
jim murez: But I think as soon as you get into

2431
04:28:51.760 --> 04:29:03.140
Clark Brown: the other Neighborhood councils, I don't think we want to do anything when you're talking about the third party, who we don't really know what they said or didn't Say.

2432
04:29:03.450 --> 04:29:11.630
Clark Brown: the the commission that we're dealing with here is this West Area board of Neighborhood Commissioners? Is that correct?

2433
04:29:11.780 --> 04:29:21.280
Clark Brown: Yes, all right. And that board oversees or has something to do with a a of of Neighborhood councils. Is that correct?

2434
04:29:25.770 --> 04:29:36.390
Ivan: Yeah, All right. The Board of Neighborhood Commissioners. I think there's 5 members on on that commission there for the whole city.

2435
04:29:37.550 --> 04:29:47.640
Ivan: What Jay is talking about. Here, is they? There is a representative supposed to come from the West. The area it's not.

2436
04:29:47.680 --> 04:29:51.140
Ivan: See the 11 it's the whole west area.

2437
04:29:52.200 --> 04:29:53.730
Ivan: That's the person that

2438
04:29:53.780 --> 04:30:04.230
Ivan: that he's talking about. There. There is no West la right. It's like from it's it's like from Western. It's like from Western boulevard all the way West to the right.

2439
04:30:04.250 --> 04:30:07.720
Ivan: Okay, I just want you to understand what you're talking about here. Okay?

2440
04:30:08.230 --> 04:30:12.490
Clark Brown: Well, if the if we were asking the mayor to consult

2441
04:30:12.660 --> 04:30:15.200
Clark Brown: with certain

2442
04:30:16.630 --> 04:30:21.220
Clark Brown: persons before nominating this person. I think you have to identify

2443
04:30:21.380 --> 04:30:35.900
jim murez: the persons or entities with at least the mayor; but

2444
04:30:36.060 --> 04:30:46.000
jim murez: when it was submitted. It was submitted as a motion through the website, and it automatically puts in the word motion at the beginning. So now maybe it's a little bit easier for people to read

2445
04:30:46.050 --> 04:30:51.950
jim murez: the part where he wrote where J. Put in the motion starts right here. I'll bold that so it's more clear.

2446
04:30:53.990 --> 04:31:01.810
jim murez: The point that Jay is making. He's making that he wants to have the person who has been appointed withdrawn.

2447
04:31:02.660 --> 04:31:09.860
jim murez: and then have the opportunity for the neighborhood councils to participate in the process.

2448
04:31:10.510 --> 04:31:29.440
Clark Brown: Well, well, if you want the mirror to withdraw it, you have to give a reason, and I think you have to say that we want the Mayor to withdraw this appointment because she did not consult with X prior to making the appointment, and then that I I I I, I, I I I I personally read that as though

2449
04:31:29.570 --> 04:31:43.000
jim murez: that's inferred because we're now asking her to consult with the Neighborhood Council. So maybe it needs to be clarified. I think the motion is let's let's hold on for a second. We got a couple of other hands up. Nico. You have your hand up.

2450
04:31:44.010 --> 04:31:53.680
Nico Ruderman: Yeah, I I I think I support this motion. But I You know I have a real problem with talking about somebody specifically without naming them. Specifically.

2451
04:31:53.930 --> 04:31:57.060
Nico Ruderman: it's it's

2452
04:31:57.080 --> 04:32:15.850
Nico Ruderman: just kind of backhanded, I mean, I I think if you're gonna go after somebody which I I think in this case, as far as I've heard and and read is is appropriate. You need to name them specifically and possibly give specific reasons.

2453
04:32:16.410 --> 04:32:21.960
jay handal: So let me ask you a question. Name is Josh Nadel. It's public record.

2454
04:32:22.060 --> 04:32:27.790
jay handal: It's already been put out in the public arena.

2455
04:32:28.330 --> 04:32:32.270
jay handal: and the Reason Neighborhood Council people are

2456
04:32:32.450 --> 04:32:36.760
unhappy with him. I have no personal vendetta for him.

2457
04:32:36.790 --> 04:32:47.170
jay handal: This is a gentleman who tried to file with the district attorney and the Rico Act against an alliance. He lost an election

2458
04:32:47.400 --> 04:32:53.520
jay handal: in an alliance, and he got into a very big vendetta fight

2459
04:32:53.760 --> 04:33:01.880
jay handal: and went to the district attorney, the city attorney. He badm out a lot of people on the Alliance.

2460
04:33:03.220 --> 04:33:10.810
jay handal: and he became very divisive to the point that you know he actually tried to form his own alliance.

2461
04:33:10.840 --> 04:33:18.770
jay handal: which is fine. It didn't work, but it was fine that he tried. But the bottom line is now he's being put up to be a commissioner.

2462
04:33:18.890 --> 04:33:30.130
jay handal: and this is a guy who absolutely dumped on neighborhood councils, the neighborhood Council system, and the department. and as a neighborhood Council leader.

2463
04:33:30.200 --> 04:33:36.580
jay handal: and as the leaders in neighborhood councils, we all believe that we should have the opportunity

2464
04:33:36.810 --> 04:33:52.200
jay handal: to vet anybody who's going to represent us and be the ones who are dictating how we operate in the future. we should at least have a say in in our in our representation.

2465
04:33:52.550 --> 04:33:54.279
jay handal: and that's not what happened.

2466
04:33:54.520 --> 04:34:05.960
jim murez: Okay, so I just put his name in there. I

2467
04:34:06.070 --> 04:34:13.720
jim murez: I think we need to to go ahead and take a vote on this.

2468
04:34:14.200 --> 04:34:15.110
Lisa Redmond: and both

2469
04:34:17.439 --> 04:34:22.669
jim murez: we've heard public comment.

2470
04:34:24.580 --> 04:34:39.759
Jason Sugars: Jason, did you want to say something? I I do. I'll be very quick. It just seems to me that questioning and and asking for change in the process, so that we're included is much more important than the individual's name, just having that a general practice that we're included in the process seems more important.

2471
04:34:42.890 --> 04:34:44.890
jim murez: I think it doesn't it say that

2472
04:34:45.349 --> 04:34:49.860
Lisa Redmond: until opportunity has been provided to vet.

2473
04:34:50.410 --> 04:35:03.890
jim murez: meaning to interview whatever you want to talk about it. The appointment i'm not disagree with that. I'm saying, i'm saying we don't need to add his name. The point is that they're supposed to be our representatives, not our parents. So we should be included in these processes. That's why we have these ports.

2474
04:35:03.960 --> 04:35:06.410
jim murez: Yeah, Thank you. Okay.

2475
04:35:07.180 --> 04:35:20.790
Clark Brown: Clark. If you can make it real short, i'll give you a second chance to speak. But please be extremely brief. We're not going to create a new motion tonight. I would strike the the the Prior to Josh.

2476
04:35:27.250 --> 04:35:35.490
Clark Brown: So it reads the appointment of Josh Natal to the West Area Board of Neighborhood Commissioners.

2477
04:35:37.259 --> 04:35:40.300
jim murez: You like that better to the okay.

2478
04:35:46.730 --> 04:35:54.310
jim murez: Is there more public comment? Because you.

2479
04:35:55.529 --> 04:35:57.270
jim murez: Daffodil, you have your hand up.

2480
04:35:59.960 --> 04:36:06.900
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, Sorry. I just wanted to make a friendly amendment, and that was to strike the information about false information on the application.

2481
04:36:06.950 --> 04:36:12.820
Daffodil Tyminski: Because, while I don't deal with the veracity, I don't we don't have any information

2482
04:36:12.919 --> 04:36:30.320
Daffodil Tyminski: to support that that we can vet ourselves.

2483
04:36:30.380 --> 04:36:35.810
Daffodil Tyminski: No, I understand that. Okay. I would just strike that if you

2484
04:36:35.960 --> 04:36:44.250
jim murez: into the city As a matter of fact, this this whole first part here. I don't believe, is part of the motion. Is that correct? This part up here is not

2485
04:36:45.680 --> 04:36:53.509
jim murez: Octo involved in our regional alliance.

2486
04:36:54.599 --> 04:37:06.869
Ivan: Yeah, I didn't know with all of what the intention was. Right. I think it's just that's this is just how it went into the gender

2487
04:37:07.349 --> 04:37:13.180
Ivan: right here. It's your motion. Not there. Right? Okay.

2488
04:37:14.880 --> 04:37:19.150
jim murez: Okay, Very good. Thank you. And it' be a Bnc. Board of officers.

2489
04:37:19.439 --> 04:37:20.150
Ivan: Right?

2490
04:37:26.599 --> 04:37:29.560
Michael Jensen: Thank you. It does, or officers, Jim.

2491
04:37:30.410 --> 04:37:32.240
jim murez: did I misspell it?

2492
04:37:54.099 --> 04:37:56.869
jim murez: Thank you, Melissa.

2493
04:38:05.460 --> 04:38:07.750
jim murez: I think she may have

2494
04:38:07.869 --> 04:38:10.700
jim murez: dropped out. I don't see her listed.

2495
04:38:11.300 --> 04:38:13.380
jay handal: J. How do you vote? Yes.

2496
04:38:14.710 --> 04:38:16.430

Patrick McKinley: No.

2516

jim murez: And I am going to abstain

2517
04:39:11.230 --> 04:39:19.250
jim murez: Motion carries 12 1 0ne. Okay. So now we're at the end of the agenda. Now we have to go back up and look at these consent items.

2518
04:39:20.869 --> 04:39:23.430
jim murez: Where did we start here? General consent?

2519
04:39:25.900 --> 04:39:28.330
jim murez: Item Number 23,

2520
04:39:30.009 --> 04:39:33.300
Michael Jensen: definitely. Do you want to make the motion. This is came from your committee.

2521
04:39:34.919 --> 04:39:36.810
Daffodil Tyminski: sure.

2522
04:39:36.980 --> 04:39:40.700
jim murez: Oh, wait, wait, wait! Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt

2523
04:39:41.400 --> 04:39:47.020
jim murez: before we do this. Does anybody recall off the top of their head. Who took this off the agenda?

2524
04:39:48.550 --> 04:39:52.950
Daffodil Tyminski: I think it was no

2525
04:39:55.120 --> 04:39:57.400
Daffodil Tyminski: Robin Mirres or

2526
04:39:57.910 --> 04:40:04.040
Ivan: I don't know

2527
04:40:04.540 --> 04:40:07.530
Daffodil Tyminski: it's. Yeah, I I sort of.

2528
04:40:07.550 --> 04:40:09.010
jim murez: I don't recall.

2529
04:40:10.190 --> 04:40:11.770
Daffodil Tyminski: I think it was Robin.

2530
04:40:13.390 --> 04:40:19.750
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, I don't. I don't recall that. But I whatever I don't remember who was. Anyway, go ahead and

2531
04:40:20.520 --> 04:40:26.110
Daffodil Tyminski: we? I was just gonna say we we have a motion.

2532
04:40:26.500 --> 04:40:28.190
Alley Bean: Who is that alley?

2533
04:40:28.350 --> 04:40:29.480
jim murez: Thank you, Ellie.

2534
04:40:32.230 --> 04:40:34.050
jim murez: Okay, go ahead, David.

2535
04:40:34.570 --> 04:40:40.690
And this is the Venice Neighborhood Council moves. So i'll read the whole thing. Just so people understand the context.

2536
04:40:40.800 --> 04:40:47.320
Daffodil Tyminski: whereas the city has previously passed a safe sidewalks program which has never been significantly activated in Venice.

2537
04:40:47.400 --> 04:40:59.560
Daffodil Tyminski: Where has previous requests have been made by this committee to upgrade sidewalks and Venice that are in need of repair, and are unsafe for pedestrian passage, and these requests have gone completely UN acknowledged and unaddressed

2538
04:40:59.630 --> 04:41:18.540
Daffodil Tyminski: whereas on November thirteenth, 2,021 President biden signed into law the infrastructure Investment and Jobs act, which provides funding for sidewalk repair, and whereas the city council will approve the fiscal year, 202324, budget, and about may 2,023, and that fund should also be available on CD. Eleven's, Ab. 1290 Fund.

2539
04:41:18.540 --> 04:41:25.570
Daffodil Tyminski: and CD Eleven's real Property Trust Fund. Now, therefore, Venice Neighborhood Council moves one

2540
04:41:25.650 --> 04:41:34.350
Daffodil Tyminski: to request that CD. 11, as our Us. Representative, Ted Lou and our County Supervisor to your mark funds. I feel like there may be some words missing here, but

2541
04:41:34.450 --> 04:41:48.080
Daffodil Tyminski: to improve, and a Sidewalks to 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 fiscal year, 20232024 city budget.

2542
04:41:48.150 --> 04:42:00.140
Daffodil Tyminski: and 3 to work with the Vnc and or Neighborhood Committee, and identifying sidewalks and infrastructure in need of repair, including Main Street, the civil triangle, the Venice canals, bridges many of which have already been discussed by the committee.

2543
04:42:01.630 --> 04:42:17.290
jim murez: I can get some context if you'd like, but otherwise we can just move forward.

2544
04:42:17.410 --> 04:42:29.090
jim murez: only to be used to store the funds from property, real property that was sold in the area of Venice.

2545
04:42:30.870 --> 04:42:36.640
jim murez: Are you aware, if if money can actually be put in from some other source.

2546
04:42:36.950 --> 04:42:48.600
Daffodil Tyminski: it's interesting. You say that because that is one of the cross currents at issue here with this motion, let me just give a little bit of brief background, and maybe we'll explain the whole thing.

2547
04:42:48.890 --> 04:42:50.320
Daffodil Tyminski: So.

2548
04:42:50.330 --> 04:42:58.920
Daffodil Tyminski: as we all know, our infrastructure needs repair. Right? I don't care where you live in Venice. You have terrible sidewalks. Your bridges are falling down. What have you?

2549
04:42:59.070 --> 04:43:15.220
Daffodil Tyminski: Sidewalks in particular, have fallen into a unique area because there have. There's it's been a political football with the city attorney, with the city itself and with homeowners. It's. They've been various

2550
04:43:15.470 --> 04:43:29.650
Daffodil Tyminski: state grants and all kinds of money allocated to sidewalks, and it never gets spent, because nobody can ever decide how they can spend it; and if they do, who's going to be liable, if it's not spent properly, so as a result nothing has gotten done

2551
04:43:29.880 --> 04:43:43.980
Daffodil Tyminski: largely. Also in CD. 11. We've over the years had a lot of push back from our Council office over fixing sidewalks. I can say this because I've been personally involved in trying to do this for like 10 years on my block. You should see the main street sidewalks.

2552
04:43:44.280 --> 04:43:48.010
Daffodil Tyminski: and and we're always told there's no money.

2553
04:43:48.070 --> 04:43:56.250
Daffodil Tyminski: Well, we do have money that comes in various forms traditionally, in the city a. There's a city budget that can allocate funds.

2554
04:43:56.270 --> 04:44:02.380
Daffodil Tyminski: B. We have CD. Eleven's real Property Trust Fund, which Jim was mentioning.

2555
04:44:02.480 --> 04:44:18.920
Daffodil Tyminski: That's a fund that when we sell when the city disposes of real property in this Council district, or in a like particular neighborhood and council district. It is literally the only mechanism by which money stays in that district

2556
04:44:18.920 --> 04:44:26.060
Daffodil Tyminski: right. So all of the money that we all the revenue we generate here in Venice goes back downtown, but the property that's sold stays with us.

2557
04:44:26.480 --> 04:44:45.370
Daffodil Tyminski: and it's actually one of my big objections to these land grab giveaways that Bonnet has had with some of the permanent support of housing builders. You know whether or not. You believe in permanent support of housing the idea that you would give away perhaps a 100 milliondollars worth of real estate in Venice

2558
04:44:45.380 --> 04:45:03.270
Daffodil Tyminski: if that were sold to a developer, it would come back t0 0ur real property fund, and we'd be able to spend it in Venice for our community. And so. Not only are we, you know, wherever your objections are philosophically to permanent supportive housing, we're really robbing our own coffers. And then we're told by the city. There's nowhere to make that money up. So

2559
04:45:03.270 --> 04:45:08.920
Daffodil Tyminski: this is something that I think needs to be addressed in the future. And hopefully, Tracy will will take this on.

2560
04:45:10.510 --> 04:45:12.360
Daffodil Tyminski: But even more important.

2561
04:45:12.590 --> 04:45:16.890
jim murez: Yeah, I don't. I don't mean to interrupt you. But my my point was only

2562
04:45:17.280 --> 04:45:29.080
jim murez: I don't believe Federal funds can be put into the real Property Trust Fund. That's a

2563
04:45:29.550 --> 04:45:37.100
so as everyone. I'm sure it's heard also that they're biden signed into law the Infrastructure Act.

2564
04:45:38.680 --> 04:45:46.990
Daffodil Tyminski: and that is something that particularly has earmarked funds for sidewalks and infrastructure repair obviously right infrastructure and jobs.

2565
04:45:47.100 --> 04:46:01.300
Daffodil Tyminski: And some, you know, many cities have used funds from that to rebuild their sidewalks. For whatever reason La has not seized these funds. Now those funds get earmarked by our Us Congressional representative.

2566
04:46:01.390 --> 04:46:09.740
Daffodil Tyminski: They then work with the State to allocate funding the State filters it down through the county, and then the city has to request it.

2567
04:46:09.980 --> 04:46:27.040
Daffodil Tyminski: All these parts have to kind of work in tandem in many places in the country. And I there's I can give you examples. Offline. This works really well, but of course, in la, everything's broken. So it doesn't. So the purpose of this motion was to, you know, one

2568
04:46:27.110 --> 04:46:31.260
Daffodil Tyminski: in the next budget actually address this issue, and earmarked some money

2569
04:46:31.260 --> 04:46:55.160
Daffodil Tyminski: to look at the CD. 11 real Property Trust Fund and see if there's anything in it, or there's anything that could be in it so that we can actually have money for infrastructure, and 3 work with our Federal State and county partners, which is required under the act, so that some of the money that's being given out literally in droves all over the country filters down into Venice, and we can actually do something with it.

2570
04:46:55.160 --> 04:46:56.490
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

2571
04:47:16.860 --> 04:47:18.360
Daffodil Tyminski: sure.

2572
04:47:20.430 --> 04:47:26.440
jim murez: Okay. I see some hands. I don't see. Melissa is still here.

2573
04:47:27.440 --> 04:47:29.320
jim murez: so I guess

2574
04:47:30.690 --> 04:47:33.660
jim murez: I will juggle between the 2, for now

2575
04:47:34.740 --> 04:47:36.450
Daffodil Tyminski: do you want me to handle the zoom?

2576
04:47:36.480 --> 04:47:41.610
jim murez: Well, I think I I think I can pretty much. I I've got it pushed over on the side of my screen.

2577
04:47:42.910 --> 04:47:44.970
jim murez: Jill, go ahead, please.

2578
04:47:45.590 --> 04:47:46.940
Jill Crosby: You have to unmute me

2579
04:47:52.560 --> 04:48:06.020
Jill Crosby: first of all. Incredible Daffodil, that's just amazing the amount of work that you drill down on that. And how much exploration you've done. Amazing! I'm so grateful to have that kind of

2580
04:48:06.720 --> 04:48:23.580
Jill Crosby: tenacity in the Vnc. And I agree that it will take starting somewhere to start something, and I think that this is a good place to start, and yes, with Biden, and filtering through this really broken system in Los Angeles, I think that

2581
04:48:23.660 --> 04:48:29.920
Jill Crosby: just chipping away at it like this is very valuable, so I would definitely vote Yes, on this for sure. Thank you.

2582
04:48:31.570 --> 04:48:34.080
jim murez: Thank you, Margaret Malloy.

2583
04:48:34.800 --> 04:48:41.520
Margaret Molloy: Hi! I think it's incredible that it was so long. When did an explanation when it was on consent?

2584
04:48:41.640 --> 04:48:53.220
Margaret Molloy: I don't think we should ever turn it? Turn away from Federal dollars, and things are specifically earmarked for infrastructure. You might want to include the storm drain system in Venice

2585
04:48:53.340 --> 04:48:58.330
Margaret Molloy: as an earmark for infrastructure. That's critical to health. And well-being and venice

2586
04:48:58.340 --> 04:49:02.150
Margaret Molloy: I think that you also need to ask Mr. Liu

2587
04:49:02.270 --> 04:49:03.490
Margaret Molloy: to

2588
04:49:03.720 --> 04:49:11.180
Margaret Molloy: request an investigation of commercial property Tax and Venice. If you're talking about a losing and a valid source of revenue.

2589
04:49:11.360 --> 04:49:21.090
Margaret Molloy: Don't, criticize so permanent support of housing without turning your eyes on absolute rip off of commercial property tax.

2590
04:49:21.190 --> 04:49:27.140
Margaret Molloy: and and that is used primarily to support our infrastructure. So it stays in our community.

2591
04:49:27.640 --> 04:49:34.130
Margaret Molloy: and we have many examples. If you'd like to have any but commercial property tax investigation.

2592
04:49:34.140 --> 04:49:35.130
Margaret Molloy: hey, Set.

2593
04:49:35.560 --> 04:49:38.060
Margaret Molloy: I do support the motion. Thank you.

2594
04:49:43.380 --> 04:49:46.370
jim murez: Wayne. I guess it's your turn next.

2595
04:49:47.670 --> 04:49:55.730
n: No, not me. It's my puppet. Yeah, so that's right. Okay, the one with the hole.

2596
04:49:55.980 --> 04:50:04.580
n: As you know. I support this motion. and Ted Lou is not one of my favorite people.

2597
04:50:04.760 --> 04:50:12.850
n: But you forgot to name who the city. the County Supervisor is because you've been redistricted.

2598
04:50:13.120 --> 04:50:15.350
n: Is it Holly Mitchell

2599
04:50:15.780 --> 04:50:19.200
n: or my mommy Janice on?

2600
04:50:19.420 --> 04:50:22.120
Lisa Redmond: You have to be specific human.

2601
04:50:22.470 --> 04:50:26.180
n: And another thing. Shame on J. Handle.

2602
04:50:26.440 --> 04:50:31.240
n: and you know that goat puppet has been a long time advocate

2603
04:50:31.530 --> 04:50:33.970
n: of just need.

2604
04:50:34.260 --> 04:50:39.650
n: Yes, Josh named do was a real ass kicker and go puppet like something.

2605
04:50:39.660 --> 04:50:48.140
n: and i'm real surprised that you would try to hood wake me so now I will publicly support Josh. They do for the block

2606
04:50:48.360 --> 04:50:54.260
n: because I was backstab tonight.

2607
04:50:58.210 --> 04:50:59.810
jim murez: Robin Murray's.

2608
04:51:01.520 --> 04:51:11.530
Robin Murez: Hi! So I'm. Just feeling like this would have been very appropriate to send when we were still under

2609
04:51:11.670 --> 04:51:22.630
Robin Murez: the control of Mike Bonn, who refused to do anything for sidewalks or roads, or anything. But now that we have Tracy Park, we

2610
04:51:22.670 --> 04:51:24.800
Robin Murez: I feel like we should

2611
04:51:24.830 --> 04:51:44.670
Robin Murez: be addressing things first to her and give her office an opportunity to step up, and the suggestions of funds they might find, for this would be great, but it sounds very antagonistic in the way it's written. Instead of being again like

2612
04:51:44.670 --> 04:51:56.910
Robin Murez: embracing that, we have a new City Council person who will address these things additionally. I would think that this should go through the Transportation

2613
04:51:57.040 --> 04:52:06.820
Robin Murez: Committee. The bridges on the canals that you're referring to are not pedestrian bridges. They are

2614
04:52:08.440 --> 04:52:09.900
Helen

2615
04:52:12.620 --> 04:52:21.350
Helen Fallon: I'll finish Robin sentence. The canal bridges are not pedestrian bridges. They're part of the roadway, so i'm not sure how they fall under sidewalks.

2616
04:52:21.820 --> 04:52:36.880
Helen Fallon: I certainly hope that a lot more background in both info is going to be included if this is going to be sent to people. because that it took such a lengthy explanation from Daffodil to actually let us understand what she what this motion is talking about.

2617
04:52:37.070 --> 04:52:40.710
Helen Fallon: If you just send the motion, I don't think it's going to be very effective.

2618
04:52:40.860 --> 04:52:47.290
Helen Fallon: and I think it really I have a transportation little flush amount, flush it out and come up with a whole list of

2619
04:52:47.310 --> 04:52:51.650
Helen Fallon: areas that need to be improved. License something like this. It's just sort of a

2620
04:52:51.730 --> 04:52:55.080
Helen Fallon: a little bit vague and a little bit not really specific.

2621
04:52:55.430 --> 04:52:57.710
Helen Fallon: You got a package and send it in

2622
04:52:57.900 --> 04:53:05.550
Helen Fallon: people, so that something actually will be accomplished sending motions that don't go anywhere. It's kind of pointless thanks.

2623
04:53:07.180 --> 04:53:10.920
jim murez: Thank you. I believe that was the last hand.

2624
04:53:11.430 --> 04:53:16.200
jim murez: Lower all you people's hands that are still up because you've all had a chance to speak.

2625
04:53:20.550 --> 04:53:23.510
jim murez: Let's go back to panel, comment Jason.

2626
04:53:24.590 --> 04:53:25.660
jim murez: go ahead.

2627
04:53:29.350 --> 04:53:31.380
Clark Brown: chasing your hands up.

2628
04:53:31.560 --> 04:53:35.520
Jason Sugars: I think that was from last time i'm sorry. Oh, that's all right, Nico. Your hand is up.

2629
04:53:39.030 --> 04:53:50.840
Nico Ruderman: First of all. I I just have a quick point in this. It mentions federal, state or local source improved sidewalks. I I I think we're missing county. We should put county in there

2630
04:53:53.750 --> 04:53:58.270
since it has to. That's kind of the last step before it comes to the city.

2631
04:53:58.710 --> 04:54:09.090
Nico Ruderman: Do you see that in? Is it in the motion and the motion. Yeah, it says your mark funding from whatever Federal, state or local source. I I guess county could technically be local, but

2632
04:54:11.170 --> 04:54:13.500
Nico Ruderman: you know. but I think it.

2633
04:54:13.730 --> 04:54:16.020
Nico Ruderman: it could be a Federal State, or

2634
04:54:17.160 --> 04:54:21.020
jim murez: local or slope. Yeah, it can still be county.

2635
04:54:21.310 --> 04:54:22.140
Nico Ruderman: Okay.

2636
04:54:23.140 --> 04:54:28.030
Nico Ruderman: Anyway, I I support this, and you know, I I

2637
04:54:30.930 --> 04:54:41.380
Nico Ruderman: want to echo, and I was actually going to bring up the same point. What what Margaret said to discuss stream is not I don't know if drainage falls under sidewalk. But I I know that you know there've been.

2638
04:54:41.690 --> 04:54:51.720
Nico Ruderman: especially in my neighborhood, some terrible problems with plugged up storm drains, causing flooding, including my my property, which is flooded several times due to backed up storm drains.

2639
04:54:52.190 --> 04:55:02.630
Nico Ruderman: So I don't know if that fall under the same program. But you know I I think there are more things that could be added to this. So that's all I had to say.

2640
04:55:02.810 --> 04:55:03.630
jim murez: Okay.

2641
04:55:03.850 --> 04:55:07.860
i'm just gonna add a quick. Oh, Picky, you had your hand up.

2642
04:55:15.470 --> 04:55:20.660
jim murez: I'm just gonna. I I think that this is a good start. I think we want to ask for

2643
04:55:20.830 --> 04:55:32.270
jim murez: our representatives to start looking at the sources of funding that are out there. But I also want to make the Neighborhood Council and other people aware that there are other funding programs out there.

2644
04:55:32.310 --> 04:55:44.930
jim murez: There is a a a a neighborhood infrastructure program that's available that the Neighborhood Council could actually go ahead and write the application and receive. I think Long Beach is receiving

2645
04:55:44.930 --> 04:56:00.740
jim murez: a 1 million dollars and and and Santa Monica is receiving a half a 1 million dollars, and and they're for for all sorts of different programs. I think Fresno, the city of Fresno is is receiving $500,000 to redo their downtown metro. Stop

2646
04:56:00.740 --> 04:56:18.090
jim murez: I I the and these are just, you know. There, there's a dozens of them out there, and and I know that if we really wanted, if the people are talking about, you know, they want to get engaged, and they want to participate in these programs. This, this other infrastructure program is something that we could actually write and submit it

2647
04:56:18.100 --> 04:56:24.340
jim murez: to the city and and get Tracy to to back it, and then we would be

2648
04:56:24.350 --> 04:56:32.940
jim murez: the ones that actually said. Here's exactly what we want to have done, and s0 0n, that let's go ahead and take a vote. I don't see any of their hands up.

2649
04:56:34.280 --> 04:56:39.270
jim murez: It's getting late. Anybody wants information about that program. Let me know.

2650
04:56:39.460 --> 04:56:42.170
Daffodil Tyminski: Daffodil, how do you vote?

2651

2667
04:57:29.550 --> 04:57:31.140

Patrick.

2672
04:57:39.280 --> 04:57:40.440

jim murez: Sima

2674
04:57:44.900 --> 04:57:46.020
jim murez: Sima.

2675
04:57:50.340 --> 04:57:53.750
jim murez: I can see that she's unmuted, but I can't hear anything.

2676
04:58:01.130 --> 04:58:07.520
jim murez: Okay, Did I miss anybody? Bruno? Are you here?

2677
04:58:07.530 --> 04:58:12.080
jim murez: Thank you. Anybody else, Seam, Are you there.

2678
04:58:15.130 --> 04:58:17.980
jim murez: I'm gonna vote. Yes, on this. I think it's important.

2679
04:58:18.770 --> 04:58:25.410
jim murez: So that's 1,400. Now. Was there a consent.

2680
04:58:38.430 --> 04:58:39.260
Michael Jensen: Sure.

2681
04:58:45.730 --> 04:58:47.250
jim murez: And can I get a second.

2682
04:58:47.430 --> 04:58:50.000
Alley Bean: I'll second it. Ally

2683
04:58:52.530 --> 04:58:55.980
jim murez: Mikhail. You want to tell us a little bit about this.

2684
04:58:56.200 --> 04:59:06.390
Yeah, so we're on 2 5 2 4 Pacific, so

2685
04:59:06.710 --> 04:59:14.010
Michael Jensen: that in 2,014 received a zoning variance for

2686
04:59:14.590 --> 04:59:17.040
Michael Jensen: uses the market in Delhi. It's non-conforming

2687
04:59:18.620 --> 04:59:25.680
Michael Jensen: it so like I that's almost 10 years ago. There's beer and wine sales for offsite consumption.

2688
04:59:25.970 --> 04:59:28.950
They are seeking a renewal of

2689
04:59:29.150 --> 04:59:46.160
Michael Jensen: the variance. I texted Brian Solvera. I don't know whether he's the rep the applicant representative. I will say that they have conducted their own outreach with the neighbors to the butts residential uses on either side and behind across the alley

2690
04:59:47.100 --> 05:00:00.230
Michael Jensen: they have. They came to the land use meeting, and the public spoke in support of the object and sorry for the project. Some of them are board members here.

2691
05:00:00.300 --> 05:00:05.900
Michael Jensen: so with that I will let me just check your audience and see if

2692
05:00:06.070 --> 05:00:17.290
jim murez: if you want to start. I just I just look brian's not here.

2693
05:00:17.300 --> 05:00:20.710
I was the Lupex Staff member on the project

2694
05:00:21.060 --> 05:00:24.500
jim murez: for what it is? It's actually the second renewal.

2695
05:00:24.520 --> 05:00:25.630
Daffodil Tyminski: This is okay.

2696
05:00:26.710 --> 05:00:27.780
jim murez: All right.

2697
05:00:30.070 --> 05:00:36.300
jim murez: Let's take public comment. Does anybody want to speak on this up, Margaret, who pulled this.

2698
05:00:36.740 --> 05:00:48.470
jim murez: you know. I I think it was Wayne. I think it was Helen.

2699
05:00:49.230 --> 05:00:51.740
jim murez: Yeah, they're all here. At least this here everybody's here.

2700
05:00:51.820 --> 05:01:08.830
jim murez: all the people that what Jamir is. No, no, that's

2701
05:01:09.940 --> 05:01:16.110
Margaret Molloy: yeah. I have a problem with things like this that don't belong in that neighborhood, and

2702
05:01:16.310 --> 05:01:22.200
Margaret Molloy: it has a creeping effect, and we can see it on the corner of the Pacific and Brooks.

2703
05:01:22.440 --> 05:01:27.900
Margaret Molloy: where Robert Tibet was the project representative. And

2704
05:01:28.580 --> 05:01:33.330
Margaret Molloy: excuse me, i'm making.

2705
05:01:41.090 --> 05:01:44.300
jim murez: Let's look. I'm going to put a few seconds back on here.

2706
05:01:45.920 --> 05:01:59.270
jim murez: Margaret, finish your comment. And and okay, I My comment is, i'm. Requesting right now that Robert Tibeto be removed from your board, and it's just ridiculous.

2707
05:01:59.900 --> 05:02:01.650
Lisa Redmond: Exactly the subject.

2708
05:02:01.970 --> 05:02:03.000
Lisa Redmond: Good God.

2709
05:02:05.910 --> 05:02:16.970
Margaret Molloy: Freddy, if you're on this, call please come on the line right now, because I've recorded this meeting. I know that you're actively recording the meeting, and this is unacceptable.

2710
05:02:18.120 --> 05:02:28.300
Margaret Molloy: and you know Mr. Tibbonode has a lot of very questionable projects in Venice, and he needs to be accountable for that. But that doesn't mean that he gets to just

2711
05:02:28.700 --> 05:02:35.190
Margaret Molloy: thrash people publicly, because that's what he emotionally wants to do.

2712
05:02:35.860 --> 05:02:42.810
Margaret Molloy: Thank you. Thank you.

2713
05:02:46.350 --> 05:02:49.410
jim murez: Jill. Your hand is up. Go ahead, please.

2714
05:02:50.750 --> 05:02:52.920
I support this. Thank you.

2715
05:02:53.650 --> 05:02:57.530
jim murez: Okay, Thank you, Lisa Redmond, your hand is up.

2716
05:02:59.350 --> 05:03:05.310
Lisa Redmond: I don't support the bickering and the disdain for stakeholders.

2717
05:03:05.650 --> 05:03:06.550
Lisa Redmond: Thank you.

2718
05:03:07.270 --> 05:03:08.260
jim murez: Thank you.

2719
05:03:12.230 --> 05:03:14.460
jim murez: Robin. Your hand is up.

2720
05:03:16.240 --> 05:03:23.450
Robin Murez: This is an excellent project. It's been around for years, and they are

2721
05:03:23.620 --> 05:03:27.260
Robin Murez: a wonderful and respectful of the community, and

2722
05:03:27.350 --> 05:03:46.680
Robin Murez: this is like the poster child, for how to do a corner grocery, though it's not on a corner. So yeah, I supported it in Lupeck, and I support it now, and I will continue to keep supporting it because they're doing it all right. It's great. It's a nice little place, and everybody loves it.

2723
05:03:47.410 --> 05:03:48.500
jim murez: Thank you.

2724
05:03:51.850 --> 05:03:53.650
jim murez: Way in your turn.

2725
05:03:55.270 --> 05:04:00.070
n: No, not me, my puppet. It's me, damn it! Yes.

2726
05:04:00.650 --> 05:04:04.160
nice little thing, this nice little project.

2727
05:04:04.700 --> 05:04:07.710
n: Yes, and we have to give out a big shut up

2728
05:04:08.090 --> 05:04:11.740
n: about using references to people calling them.

2729
05:04:13.720 --> 05:04:16.800
n: No, it's okay. If you call me an animal, because i'm an

2730
05:04:16.890 --> 05:04:22.970
n: exactly what what's the steel with a horse face?

2731
05:04:23.400 --> 05:04:28.500
n: There's a rule here if you read it now quoted from the Venice Neighborhood Council Bylaws.

2732
05:04:28.810 --> 05:04:47.930
n: If you refer to another person by an animal, you have to make the appropriate animal sound, and you fail to do that. Robert therefore put up a those for the removal of Robert Tibodol for violating the charter, and not making a horse noise when he made that comment.

2733
05:04:48.000 --> 05:04:50.100
Here's how you do it, Robert.

2734
05:04:51.140 --> 05:04:51.790
Hey?

2735
05:04:55.050 --> 05:04:57.510
n: Thank you.

2736
05:05:02.370 --> 05:05:04.480
jim murez: Helen. Go ahead, please.

2737
05:05:07.200 --> 05:05:08.830
Helen Fallon: So I wasn't the person

2738
05:05:09.200 --> 05:05:11.550
Helen Fallon: proper consent, and

2739
05:05:11.860 --> 05:05:29.780
Helen Fallon: because of the suddenly so snarky remark by Mikkel, i'm going to speak, and i'm gonna waste a minute of your time. I am appalled at Robert to those behavior, and that you, Jim, didn't put a stop to it immediately. That's a complete violation of the code of conduct he's calling people names.

2740
05:05:29.970 --> 05:05:34.520
Helen Fallon: and if you guys can name us. I think people in the public can name you.

2741
05:05:34.870 --> 05:05:50.620
Helen Fallon: I mean, this is. This is embarrassing the way you conduct yourself as a board, and the kind of comments you make about people who speak the subtly sarcastic remarks, the tone that's taken. Oh, gee! We got to listen to them again

2742
05:05:50.800 --> 05:05:51.950
Helen Fallon: you need to.

2743
05:05:52.620 --> 05:06:03.250
Helen Fallon: I don't even understand why some of you are rerunning as incumbents. Because you just don't care about the community at all, and your behavior is simply rooted in the following.

2744
05:06:03.420 --> 05:06:04.670
Helen Fallon: Shame on you!

2745
05:06:07.730 --> 05:06:08.720
jim murez: Thank you.

2746
05:06:12.480 --> 05:06:14.130
jim murez: Christopher Lee.

2747
05:06:15.570 --> 05:06:21.150
Christopher Lee: I have to echo previous sentiments at how appalled I am by the behavior of

2748
05:06:21.390 --> 05:06:39.330
Christopher Lee: Robert Tibeto. He was mentioned in a neutral manner as simply the project manager for this project, and his conduct is in clear violation of not only the code of conduct, but our Vnc. Rules of decorum, so I expect and anticipate disciplinary action to be taken against him.

2749
05:06:39.350 --> 05:06:52.860
Christopher Lee: As this is not the first time he's behaved it as such. secondly, to support other comments that have been made. There are other Board members who are not in such latent disrespect of our stakeholders.

2750
05:06:52.970 --> 05:07:08.780
Christopher Lee: but through the various size and tone of voice, are also violating that tone, that rule of decorum. So my request is simply on our our constituents. We're here spending this time with you all, and I know it's a long meeting, and it's difficult.

2751
05:07:09.100 --> 05:07:15.850
Christopher Lee: but we're all in this together. There's no need for this constant

2752
05:07:17.730 --> 05:07:22.010
jim murez: Thank you. That concludes public comment.

2753
05:07:22.330 --> 05:07:25.060
jim murez: Do we have any committee comment?

2754
05:07:29.950 --> 05:07:32.680
jim murez: I see one hand alley

2755
05:07:34.530 --> 05:07:39.460
Alley Bean: this isn't a comment. It's just a question to Mikhail, because I remember being

2756
05:07:40.130 --> 05:07:49.900
Alley Bean: supporting this project. But when you mentioned alcohol sales I was just curious. What are the hours of operation? Because I know this place really? Well, I I i'm a

2757
05:07:50.180 --> 05:08:09.050
Alley Bean: a customer so, and I love the place. But I just was wondering how late they're going to stay open if they're if they have, I didn't realize they had

2758
05:08:09.470 --> 05:08:12.410
bar. I mean not bar. But you know

2759
05:08:12.690 --> 05:08:17.990
Alley Bean: corner store that was wanting to have alcohol late at night, and it got too late.

2760
05:08:18.840 --> 05:08:24.830
Michael Jensen: so I just wanted to know how late it was going to be for the neighbors.

2761
05:08:26.270 --> 05:08:28.000
Alley Bean: and I have to kind of echo

2762
05:08:28.010 --> 05:08:31.920
Alley Bean: the sentiments about. You know we we gotta. We gotta stay kind

2763
05:08:32.190 --> 05:08:33.370
Alley Bean: on this board.

2764
05:08:39.370 --> 05:08:42.770
jim murez: is it? In the staff report?

2765
05:08:44.650 --> 05:08:46.850
Michael Jensen: I look it's it's not

2766
05:08:48.060 --> 05:08:50.140
Michael Jensen: so. I'm looking for the

2767
05:08:50.190 --> 05:08:51.880
Alley Bean: I couldn't find it in them

2768
05:08:52.190 --> 05:08:54.630
Michael Jensen: looking for the original.

2769
05:08:58.200 --> 05:09:01.720
Alley Bean: So I remember the neighbors were all cool about it, but I I was just curious

2770
05:09:02.550 --> 05:09:03.570
Daffodil Tyminski: you.

2771
05:09:03.620 --> 05:09:06.460
Alley Bean: because this is coming up a lot, you know, in Venice

2772
05:09:07.680 --> 05:09:10.870
Alley Bean: to have operations that are close to residences.

2773
05:09:13.130 --> 05:09:17.780
Michael Jensen: Well, the this is a variance Granted, because the zoning is residential.

2774
05:09:18.400 --> 05:09:29.270
Michael Jensen: I mean, there's tons of Commercial Zone property that is, adjacent to residential. It's.

2775
05:09:29.820 --> 05:09:30.770
Michael Jensen: Yeah.

2776
05:09:31.600 --> 05:09:34.340
Alley Bean: it's not there. Okay.

2777
05:09:34.360 --> 05:09:36.400
Michael Jensen: I'm: gonna i'm pulling the original

2778
05:09:38.810 --> 05:09:40.370
Michael Jensen: information letter

2779
05:09:40.720 --> 05:09:47.220
jim murez: definitely. You have your hand up. Why, don't we go to you before we can the while, while Mikkel looks this up. Go ahead.

2780
05:09:47.480 --> 05:10:06.320
Daffodil Tyminski: Sure couple of things quickly, One, you know, when you live in this part of Venice closer to the beach you have a lot of apartments, a lot of people that don't have cars and a lot of people that you do have a car. They don't have parking, so if they get a spot they want to keep it so. These little markets, sprinkled throughout

2781
05:10:06.320 --> 05:10:16.840
Daffodil Tyminski: Pacific are fantastic. Someone mentioned Pacific and Brooks. I live 3 houses off of Pacific and Brooks. There's been a coffee shop and market kind of brewing there, and we love it in the neighborhood.

2782
05:10:16.940 --> 05:10:27.810
Daffodil Tyminski: So you know, i'm sure the folks that live around this love it, too, because otherwise to get in your car go to Ralph's all that stuff, you know. You may come back and not have parking.

2783
05:10:28.020 --> 05:10:38.990
so I would really support what they're doing here. I think they're great, and I would encourage more of this. You know little Mom, and Pop places all up and down Pacific or in the neighborhoods.

2784
05:10:39.140 --> 05:10:40.920
Michael Jensen: So I have the answer.
