I've never really learned it. I'm glad that next month is not going to be necessary. 19 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.770 jim murez: You know they can't figure out what they're doing. It was supposed to start in March, and now they're going to have a meeting. 20 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:41.220 jim murez: I don't know next week on the 27 0r something to figure out if they can extend it for but yet 30 more days 21 00:02:41.260 --> 00:02:46.600 Paul Davis: Oh, it's so crazy!

I've already turned in the forms to be able to do everything in live 23 00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:55.990 jim murez: next month, and and now they're changing it all over again. 24 00:02:56.870 --> 00:03:00.280 Paul Davis: Well, they do their 25 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.170 jim murez: yeah. 26 00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:10.330 jim murez: Yeah, Exactly.

You probably have to go down to the bottom of the zoom window and some place there. It should say something like 31 00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:46.610 jim murez: show captions or hide captions. Yeah, show captions. Click that on, and you'll, and it'll read it to you. 32 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:51.370 jim murez: Then you can turn your hearing. Then you can turn your hearing aid down. 33 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:56.740 Joseph Murphy: Now they're up. I and I I don't see the captions. 34 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:04.660 jim murez: Well, they should be across the bottom of your screen. I know mine are. but i'm turning off my video again because it goes crazy. Sometimes 35 00:04:04.730 --> 00:04:06.880 John Palka: you gotta click you you need to. 36 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.040 John Palka: So so 37 00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:22.820 okay. 38 00:04:24.020 --> 00:04:24.800 Paul Davis: wow. 39 00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:28.430 Joseph Murphy: And Reagan is 40 00:04:28.790 --> 00:04:29.560 Paul Davis: Regan. 41 00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:31.520 Joseph Murphy: It's muted. 42 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.730 jim murez: I'm going to mute myself If something comes up. Give me a call. 43 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.990 Paul Davis: Great Jim. Thanks so much for set us up. 44 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:44.360 Joseph Murphy: Okay. But, Reagan, you're muted so unmute yourself. 45 00:04:47.540 --> 00:04:48.830 Joseph Murphy: I mean Reagan. 46 00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:51.360 Paul Davis: Nice Joe. 47 00:04:57.650 --> 00:05:09.420 Joseph Murphy: It's crazy. Regan is muted. John. You're muted. No, I I should be good. Now, I have my vide0 0ff just because I have an unstable Internet. Connection. 48 00:05:13.570 --> 00:05:15.980 Joseph Murphy: We hear you. 49 00:05:16.330 --> 00:05:19.710 Joseph Murphy: but according to my. 50 00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:32.360 Joseph Murphy: we do have a quorum Regan murders, John, you, Paul, and me. So 51 00:05:32.650 --> 00:05:39.110 Joseph Murphy: let's. Let's assume that i'll call it t0 0rder. We call the meeting t0 0rder 52 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:40.110 Paul Davis: nice. 53 00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:42.240 Joseph Murphy: and 54 00:05:44.190 --> 00:05:50.860 Joseph Murphy: I I don't see erin, she said she'd be here aaron and your 55 00:05:52.190 --> 00:05:56.260 Joseph Murphy: when she comes we'll introduce her because she's somebody that missed that 56 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.020 Joseph Murphy: all our CD. John, your wife, mentioned to me. It introduced me to 57 00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:04.280 Joseph Murphy: so. 58 00:06:05.610 --> 00:06:07.020 Joseph Murphy: And. 59 00:06:07.910 --> 00:06:10.240 Joseph Murphy: John, you're muted. 60 00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:17.850 Paul Davis: Well, John's got his vide0 0ff, but he's not muted. He can hear us, and we can hear him. He just turned his vide0 0ff because his Internet connection is a little freaky. 61 00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:20.390 John Palka: That is right. 62 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:32.190 Paul Davis: So I think we're ready to kind of launch here on the agenda, shall we. 63 00:06:32.210 --> 00:06:33.290 Paul Davis: when I see her? 64 00:06:33.870 --> 00:06:38.590 Joseph Murphy: Well, I was gonna ask John to mention the opening of the park. 65 00:06:39.150 --> 00:06:42.590 Paul Davis: Absolutely. So, John. Is that up and running for sure? 66 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:49.820 John Palka: Yeah, yeah. We had a great brand opening on Saturday, and it was it was a really fun day. We had 67 00:06:50.130 --> 00:06:56.510 Paul Davis: 21 children from the neighborhood come, which was fantastic, and that's super good 68 00:06:56.570 --> 00:07:03.550 John Palka: yeah, 2828 parents and the kids were having a great time playing. The parents were 69 00:07:06.310 --> 00:07:23.850 John Palka: okay, go ahead, and so 70 00:07:24.470 --> 00:07:27.310 sounds like a huge hit. I i'm trying to figure out. 71 00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:40.330 Paul Davis: My kids are out of town, so it wouldn't have been the right weekend for us. But John is it's gonna obviously keep going, and i'd love to volunteer. I'd love to show up. So should we. Just is, Are we assuming that it's going to be between 10 and 12 0n an ongoing basis on Saturday. 72 00:07:41.020 --> 00:07:49.900 John Palka: Yeah, every Saturday. Yup. It's supposed to be raining on this Saturday. But yeah, it's it's planned, and we've got volunteers to staff it every Saturday for 73 00:07:51.560 --> 00:08:03.840 John Palka: the next 3 months, and then we'll just take it. Take it from there. So we're we're doing well. So if you want to talk, one of the people that are staffing it. Tell them that you'd like to enter like 74 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.780 Paul Davis: the volunteer, and we'll put you on the list. 75 00:08:06.820 --> 00:08:25.040 Paul Davis: Now, John, one more thing I can imagine like passing out brochures in my neighborhood over by Oakwood. Is there any such thing that I could help with? Yeah, absolutely. We passed out lot of brochures in our area, and we actually got a half a dozen folks that said they came because they they saw the brochure. So 76 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:29.930 Paul Davis: okay, great, i'll print it out and go to town. That's perfect, and I love it super exciting. 77 00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:35.030 Paul Davis: And, Paul, we we would really appreciate that. Can you hear me? Okay, right now. 78 00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:37.530 because it was. 79 00:08:37.549 --> 00:08:42.150 Regan Kibbee: you know. That's always easier to get people out for the grand opening. 80 00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:12.210 Regan Kibbee: So we I went around asking people how they heard about it, and you know there might have been one or 2, you know Venice Mom's, my co-moderator came in another Venice Mom. Some people heard it because John. 81 00:09:12.230 --> 00:09:26.160 Regan Kibbee: I had a little bit of success boosting the announcement through social media. One person heard about it through Facebook. One person heard about it through Instagram 82 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:34.840 Regan Kibbee: of clear Fontaine. So you definitely, Any any way, you can help spread around the neighborhood and and make a date, you know, to kind of keep some momentum going. 83 00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:51.120 Paul Davis: Well, I can imagine walking it over to those little playground at Oakwood Park on a Sunday, or something, you know, and and and and passing out to parents there, because that would be fun for them to have another place to go, and I would definitely go up and down a street or 2 in my neighborhood and pass them out. So I i'd be delighted to do it. 84 00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:08.700 Regan Kibbee: whereas this is so wonderful because it has water fountains, and you know men's and women's bathrooms. 85 00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:19.730 Paul Davis: It's great yeah, shade and sun, and we're in bikes. Are you guys using the whole zone like Madame Joel's garden area as well as the playground. Yeah, wonderful! Wow, super Great! 86 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.720 Paul Davis: Huh! 87 00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:25.000 Paul Davis: What a treasure that is, John! I I just it's such a huge thing, really. 88 00:10:25.430 --> 00:10:34.050 John Palka: Well, I I i'm excited about it, and i'm grateful for this group is this group was a part of the you know. Just help provide it. It's 89 00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:48.160 John Palka: more energy and more initiative to make it a reality. And i'm I'm. I'm grateful for a call claire phone 10 and Venice moms that are co-sponsoring this and lifting it up it. It takes a community to make something like this work. 90 00:10:48.670 --> 00:10:52.880 Paul Davis: May I ask, Paul, how old are your kids? 91 00:10:53.410 --> 00:11:10.560 Paul Davis: Oh, that's perfect! It seemed to me, from looking around that it looked like a really good for like maybe preschool through kind of elementary school age seem to be ideal. Yeah, mine might get getting beginning a taddle, but I think they would love it, and it's it seems like a great excuse to get out in the morning and run around some, so 92 00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:20.650 Paul Davis: I think it sounds really good, so that would be great to have you there, especially like I can't be there all the time, You know I have a Sunday morning commitments I have to keep. 93 00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:31.290 Regan Kibbee: you know. I have other things to do sometimes on Saturday. Well, a lot of Saturday, so it'd be great to have anyone else any other local parent like yourself there to, and especially from our committee. That's awesome. 94 00:11:31.410 --> 00:11:45.960 Paul Davis: Yeah, now I it occurs to me. Joe sometimes has the good idea that if we accomplish something together or in it among us, things get accomplished, we might show up at a, B and C meeting and tell them that something good has happened. Is it, Joe? Have you thought that we might want to 95 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.730 kind of to John forward on this on this front and and make an announcement to the community. 96 00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:59.840 Joseph Murphy: I I think that'd be great to do just to let him know that we're active and actually accomplishing things. 97 00:12:01.590 --> 00:12:11.710 Joseph Murphy: And so yes, definitely. I'm not sure when the next meeting is. But we can do it at the next meeting, and I can. My! I could. After this we I could. 98 00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:17.970 Joseph Murphy: you know, submit an agenda request to make that announcement. And, John. 99 00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:27.220 i'd like you to be the person that makes the announcement, because you're the most most responsible for actually making that happen. 100 00:12:27.430 --> 00:12:32.450 John Palka: If that's okay. With you know, I I would be loved. I that'd be. I'd be honored to do that. 101 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:46.010 Joseph Murphy: June. No, that would be. Let's see. This is fever. It' be March. Well, I don't know one did. 102 00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:58.120 Joseph Murphy: Okay, then i'll. I'll submit an agenda request after this meeting to 103 00:12:58.370 --> 00:13:03.260 make an announcement to the Board at a snacks 104 00:13:03.680 --> 00:13:06.600 Joseph Murphy: meeting, and that would be the 105 00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:08.760 Joseph Murphy: speaking about the Park. 106 00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:18.380 Paul Davis: Okay, guys. Just briefly, Robin Youres is here with her hand up, and Erica Moore is here both as attendees. Shall I promote them to panelists? 107 00:13:18.550 --> 00:13:21.220 Robin Murez: I've already been promoted, I think 108 00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:23.590 Joseph Murphy: definitely if you would 109 00:13:24.150 --> 00:13:28.730 Paul Davis: all right, because we let everyone say hi, etc. So, Erica, you're coming up here. 110 00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:33.300 Joseph Murphy: Yeah, you're 111 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.220 Paul Davis: there. You, I think everyone here is now. 112 00:13:40.260 --> 00:13:50.290 Robin Murez: So let me just mention I was hearing what you guys were just saying, and you don't need to do an agenda request every month. The meeting actually was just this past Tuesday night, and 113 00:13:50.290 --> 00:14:00.740 Robin Murez: and if you look on the V and C. Website, you'll see it's whatever that is. The third Tuesday of every month, and at the beginning of each meeting there is a time when each of 114 00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:08.930 Robin Murez: our committees is asked to give any information update. So yeah, you're They always look to see if 115 00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:25.870 Robin Murez: somebody's in the audience from this committee, and they more than welcome you to. And I yeah, I think it'd be great if you did that. But you don't need to do an agenda request. And regarding whether it's going to be on zoom or not. There's something of an open question regarding that. Still. 116 00:14:26.070 --> 00:14:33.820 Robin Murez: there was an announcement that as of March first we could have, or we have to have, meetings in person. But then there's some 117 00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:42.900 Paul Davis: confusion. So stay tuned and you'll find out. 118 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:49.740 Robin Murez: Yeah. yeah, and well, i'll just wait till you get on t0 0ther things to mention something. 119 00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:56.330 Joseph Murphy: Okay, hey, Robin. it may. That may be a good way to do it to just 120 00:14:56.860 --> 00:15:07.630 Joseph Murphy: show up at a meeting, but i'd like to let people know that we're going to do that beforehand. So submitting an a gender request that I can circulate. 121 00:15:07.830 --> 00:15:14.050 Joseph Murphy: And who's gonna be there? And what's gonna happen is is a better way through my mind 122 00:15:14.070 --> 00:15:17.400 Joseph Murphy: to actually announce it, so that it happens 123 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:28.920 Joseph Murphy: happens well. so i'll probably go ahead and continue to do that, anyway. The other thing that I wanted to ask you about. I I understand that you were making a request 124 00:15:29.350 --> 00:15:31.420 Joseph Murphy: somehow, but I don't know 125 00:15:31.570 --> 00:15:37.200 Joseph Murphy: that didn't get through me. But any rate, you didn't. You made a request for funding 126 00:15:37.250 --> 00:15:38.610 Joseph Murphy: for the 127 00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:43.890 Joseph Murphy: park, the for the 128 00:15:44.110 --> 00:15:45.430 Robin Murez: welcome t0 0ur app. 129 00:15:45.650 --> 00:15:48.910 Joseph Murphy: Yeah. And I would have. I would have. 130 00:15:49.260 --> 00:15:50.290 Yeah. 131 00:15:50.310 --> 00:15:59.150 Joseph Murphy: if we did known beforehand. That's another one where I could have shown up, or or somebody on the committee could have shown up and supported your effort to get that. 132 00:15:59.150 --> 00:16:17.180 Robin Murez: I sent them to everybody on on your email list. I I I think, more than once, but certainly before the Tuesday meeting. I sent it out to everybody inviting you to please come and speak in favor. But again, Joe, I think if you just look at the V and C board agenda. 133 00:16:17.180 --> 00:16:32.720 Robin Murez: and you will see where committees are asked to report, and I think if you try to put in an agenda request, you're going to meet with complications. But that's exactly what it's there for on the on the agenda is to have us all give updates. 134 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:47.690 Robin Murez: So 135 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:51.590 Robin Murez: the app actually funded. So we can start using it. 136 00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:56.540 Robin Murez: It would be perfect for that, and 137 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:08.970 Robin Murez: I could try to show it to you. I had trouble trying to screen share, but it's it's called. You can also go to pocket sites.com. 138 00:17:08.970 --> 00:17:17.460 Robin Murez: So the sites you have you just do. You just do drop a PIN on each, you know, to indicate where the parks are located, and then 139 00:17:17.579 --> 00:17:28.640 Robin Murez: the you that will let you create a page for that park. 140 00:17:28.810 --> 00:17:43.510 Robin Murez: identifying parks that have playground and equipment for toddlers versus you know whatever, and you can put pictures in, and you could put video and audio. You don't have to put all that in, but you can for each of the sites. So 141 00:17:43.510 --> 00:17:48.980 Robin Murez: if you want to put in, you know dimensions of the part, whatever you want to do, you can do it all, and it's great. 142 00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:59.420 Paul Davis: And, Robin just so do like. If I was going to do that for some of these parks, or you know we would split up those tasks. Does that something we need log on instructions from you in order to d0 0r how how does this skin get maintained. 143 00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:10.280 Robin Murez: Yeah, well, it's supposed to be multiple users. I'll be able to do it. And yeah, it's really simple to log on. S0 0nce we get it, so I've already done a sample site 144 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.330 that you can find through their website. 145 00:18:13.630 --> 00:18:25.110 Robin Murez: But once we actually have the account, then we'll be able to have multiple users using it. And yeah, i'll show you, and it's pretty easy. It's it's fun and easy to 146 00:18:25.210 --> 00:18:39.730 Paul Davis: and and robin just just of as a clarification. I remember in the past there was one method of accessing the site. That was, you know, $7,000, or something like that. It would. I think you you found another way. That's much less 147 00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:45.560 Paul Davis: because I was. I was always intimidated by that level of commitment in the past, but it seems like something better has happened here. 148 00:18:45.610 --> 00:19:06.140 Robin Murez: Yes. So in talking with the App builder, whatever owner it turns out that just for it, it's 49 99 a month; that the V and C. Will pay. That's what they agreed to. They can stop at any time that's actually considerably less than they pay for. They have constant contact, and they have 149 00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:24.490 Robin Murez: Web corner and things that are like 150 a month. 150 00:19:24.490 --> 00:19:27.580 It works best, I think, if you 151 00:19:27.930 --> 00:19:45.820 Robin Murez: put the app on your cell phone 152 00:19:45.820 --> 00:19:55.890 Robin Murez: and I didn't answer that. But the truth is, yes, if you could go to your browser so if you could just do it through the Internet. 153 00:19:56.020 --> 00:20:03.230 Robin Murez: But when you pull it up on your on your cell phone, if you pull up the app, what's nice is 154 00:20:03.650 --> 00:20:14.430 Robin Murez: you can either see everything that's around you that we will have uploaded which could be historic sites or contemporary architecture, or parks, or you know, whatever trees 155 00:20:14.430 --> 00:20:30.040 Robin Murez: or you can just follow one of those tours. So somebody who wants to just know where parks are would be able to follow the parks, and I heard that somebody was just asking Jim at the farmer's market the other day, where the playgrounds 156 00:20:30.190 --> 00:20:38.810 Robin Murez: had this been there it would have been easy, and then and then it gives. You. You know G GPS allows you to follow along and find your way. 157 00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:40.870 John Palka: What is it called? Again the app 158 00:20:41.110 --> 00:20:51.120 Robin Murez: pocket sites, Po. C. K. E, t, s, I, G. H. T. S. I think it's dot com it might be.org. I think it's dot com. 159 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.390 Robin Murez: and then, if you go to that, you can 160 00:20:55.510 --> 00:20:59.680 Robin Murez: type in a Venice tour, and I think that 161 00:20:59.750 --> 00:21:01.120 Robin Murez: ours will come up then 162 00:21:06.260 --> 00:21:11.000 Robin Murez: a functioning site, because we haven't paid, but it's the sample. 163 00:21:11.170 --> 00:21:24.130 Joseph Murphy: Just Just so, You know, we have a an email list of about 500 people. and if I get this information. i'm sort of functioning as a secretary 164 00:21:24.190 --> 00:21:33.080 Joseph Murphy: for this group. and if I get this information in written form. I could probably promulgated through that media 165 00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:40.000 Joseph Murphy: so. But I really can't track all that you're saying, Robin, You're brighter than me. 166 00:22:00.050 --> 00:22:06.660 Robin Murez: and any site we want, so that people would be able to. 167 00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:10.660 Robin Murez: you know. Take a picture that QR. Code, and it'll bring us bring them to this site 168 00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:23.990 Regan Kibbee: type in the word Venice somewhere. I don't see where you can do that, anyway. 169 00:22:35.820 --> 00:22:38.780 Regan Kibbee: Oh, I see it. Sign up now. I'll try that. 170 00:22:38.940 --> 00:22:42.250 Joseph Murphy: Okay, Erica More Wanted to say something here, Erica. 171 00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:50.890 Erica Moore: Hey? Hi, there, guys, I just wanted to say Robin actually piggybacking. I was gonna say what you said about 172 00:22:50.970 --> 00:22:54.670 Erica Moore: about making the announcement the meeting, but just to let you know. 173 00:22:54.800 --> 00:23:11.330 Erica Moore: Joe, is that I looked up. I have up there agenda, and it has AD hoc. Committees are listed, and what they might not be doing is announcing you because they don't regularly. Come if they announce you, though i'll tell you where you're at it goes Community resiliency, which I happen to be a member of 174 00:23:11.560 --> 00:23:19.260 Erica Moore: homelessness, parking and transportation, and then Vince Arbor, and then discussion for committee, which I believe is what this committee is. 175 00:23:19.320 --> 00:23:37.030 Erica Moore: So when they announce that that's when you say i'm here you could. You could let Jim know in advance. I'm going to be there, and I want to make an announcement. You don't have to go through the formality of going to the to the meeting prior to request to be on it, because you're already on the agenda. 176 00:23:37.030 --> 00:23:46.330 Erica Moore: Yeah. And then that's when you get to just make your your comment. No, he'll call on you and say, okay, who's here? From the discussion Forum Committee. And then you'll present whatever you have to say. 177 00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:48.090 Erica Moore: and then 178 00:23:48.160 --> 00:24:00.700 Erica Moore: and that's it. And it's something you can do. Every meeting, and the meetings are once a month. It's generally, I think, the third Tuesday of the month. They don't have March populated right now, which I find kind of surprising it's like. 179 00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:06.410 Erica Moore: but i'm sure it's going to be up soon, and you can see what day to to log in there. 180 00:24:06.530 --> 00:24:17.080 Erica Moore: This is amazing, and I love that I love what's happening in this group, and it's very exciting. I think it does piggyback so perfectly, Robin, with your with the little pocket sites 181 00:24:18.760 --> 00:24:31.300 Joseph Murphy: a little app, which I 182 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:39.420 Erica Moore: whatever you have to say, you have a few minutes 183 00:24:39.780 --> 00:24:50.380 Erica Moore: you just want to. If you. If you can't be on the meeting. If you reach out to me, i'll, I'll present it for you if you want, or some other member of your meeting, maybe Regan, or or 184 00:24:50.380 --> 00:25:08.000 Erica Moore: all you do is is that it's it's a what they do with the meeting is they have, like certain set of roll call. Then they have the community people like, if they have somebody from Tracy Parks office or the the police, they have these representatives. They weigh in for a minute and give kind of a little Mini report, and then they go through the committees. 185 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.630 Erica Moore: and when they go through the committees they will announce your committee. 186 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:16.130 Erica Moore: and when they announce your committee and your committee is when they say AD hoc committees. 187 00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:26.780 Erica Moore: then they will unmute you, and you can talk. But if you did send a an email first to Jim to alert him, you were gonna actually say something, since you don't regularly say something. 188 00:25:26.860 --> 00:25:35.410 Erica Moore: because sometimes they might gloss over you. Then he always he always looks in the audience for Joe or Paul. 189 00:25:35.410 --> 00:25:53.390 Robin Murez: Yeah. And 190 00:25:53.520 --> 00:25:59.420 Robin Murez: yeah, just as you're saying, it's already there on the agenda. And 191 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:29.380 Paul Davis: so so you guys are being super helpful in describing this, and it seems like something we should take advantage of, and I would think that to the extent that we want to show this community that we kind of are up to something of modest value. At least it might be smart if we anoint someone or have a volunteer each month, just to show up for 10 min and say a thing or 2, I mean, the bottom line is, I think it's not a bad thing for us to imagine that each month that we accomplish some little thing that's useful, and why not show up and say, hi and tell about you know I mean well it or also when you got something 192 00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:39.500 Robin Murez: going on, then speak up. 193 00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:52.820 Robin Murez: Yeah. Jimmy is always looking for either one of you in the audience. So if John's gonna be there at the next month, just tell him in advance, and he will, you know, be looking for John. Then 194 00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:53.980 Regan Kibbee: go ahead. 195 00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.230 Joseph Murphy: Show that this 196 00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:58.930 Joseph Murphy: park opening was happening. 197 00:26:59.070 --> 00:27:17.350 Robin Murez: It. That was announced. Well, we can put the word out pretty well, too, and I guess Lutheran did, because it was announced through. 198 00:27:17.350 --> 00:27:38.120 Regan Kibbee: Then it's pop up to see to great pictures 199 00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:43.940 our committee that that will be good for our committee. You know something short and sweet and good news. 200 00:27:44.110 --> 00:27:55.440 Erica Moore: Well, I'm gonna tell you something. I think a lot of people don't know about this committee, and they have no idea this amazing stuff you're doing, and I think that if there was a little more visibility, I think you might get more people participating. 201 00:27:55.450 --> 00:28:13.910 Erica Moore: and I think that that would be great for your committee, and it's good for our community because you guys are doing something really important, and there's so many people that have kids, and there's a lot of younger people now wanting to get more involved. So I I would strongly encourage you. And, like I said I, personally am willing to support you if one of you can't g0 0n 202 00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:20.240 Paul Davis: as long as you just give me some tidbits of what you want me to say, i'm happy to do that, for you 203 00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:43.340 wants to make a comment on something that's not on the agenda. We 204 00:28:43.810 --> 00:28:52.880 Paul Davis: this is the time to announce that we we, by the way, have Gabriel Smith with us here as well, and he's now a a panelist able to speak if he chooses. 205 00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:54.350 Joseph Murphy: There he is. 206 00:28:54.660 --> 00:29:06.430 Gabriel Smith: You're muted, David. There you go. Hi, everybody! My name's Gabriel. I'm just meeting a lot of you for the first time. I'm currently on the ballot to be the chair of the Lu PC. 207 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:15.080 Gabriel Smith: So just on the fly on the wall right now. I don't really have much to say. Just wanted to introduce myself. And 208 00:29:15.110 --> 00:29:16.220 Gabriel Smith: here, what's going on? 209 00:29:16.550 --> 00:29:18.100 Paul Davis: Thanks for joining us. 210 00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:34.840 Robin Murez: suggesting that all of Lincoln 211 00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:43.210 Robin Murez: Boulevard, from like Santa Monica to the Marina, have 8 story buildings the enabled to have, and they want to like. 212 00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:52.140 Robin Murez: propose it to the city. And, Gabriel, you spoke up and said, Give me a week, and i'll come back with another proposal. I mean, I think 213 00:29:52.280 --> 00:30:06.050 Robin Murez: it's 214 00:30:06.070 --> 00:30:20.060 Robin Murez: suggested and voted on, and it's insanity. So, Gabriel, please come back. Come up with other suggestions. Oh, several of us who heard you. We're like yay go, Gabriel. 215 00:30:20.060 --> 00:30:29.370 Gabriel Smith: One suggests that I've I've mentioned is possibly the creation or the renovation of our existing peer, by adding 216 00:30:29.510 --> 00:30:38.200 Gabriel Smith: just a lot of square footage. There we could put a amusement style attractions there, such as wave makers or recreation of Venice plunge 217 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:51.230 Gabriel Smith: just a lot of ways to attract tourism, but really we could also put hotels in condominiums there. It would be a way to do so that it wouldn't affect if we have to implement housing to, if 218 00:30:51.260 --> 00:31:07.470 Gabriel Smith: to do it without building up all around Lincoln Boulevard, which seems to be very unpopular in Venice, I wouldn't want it that way. I don't believe that there's going to be parking, accommodating that. I believe that there is space, and taking a look at mapping 219 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:36.740 Gabriel Smith: up along the coastline along Venice that we that could be a potential possibility. So that's something that I would look at. But really I would like to. I I really just don't believe the figures we're told that there's 25,000 units right now in venice and Marina del rate, and that we have to implement new housing of 20, which is more than 5,000 units at this point. That's what Los Angeles apparently is telling the V. N. C. Can board at this time. 220 00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:47.680 Gabriel Smith: I want to just go up the ladder and see what we can do about mitigating that to any degree, and really just declining at all 221 00:31:47.920 --> 00:32:03.450 Gabriel Smith: all proposals to build a 10 story plus structure on Lincoln Boulevard, especially when there, isn't adequate parking that's planned out. There seems to be no care by the people voting for this for the traffic concerns that would 222 00:32:03.770 --> 00:32:21.180 Gabriel Smith: certainly arise from having construction all up and down Lincoln Boulevard for an extended period of time. I'm concerned about housing prices. We're experiencing that outflows in Los Angeles and in Venice at this time, also in California as a whole. For the past few years. 223 00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:37.020 Gabriel Smith: if we're going to implement 20 new housing and construct it quickly over the next, the course of the next 2 t0 3 years, how is that going to affect housing prices when there's already rentals available in a diminishing population. It's kind of, I believe it's going to create a housing crash. 224 00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:51.120 Joseph Murphy: Who is running the Homeless Committee, because he he is deeply into all of the issues that relate 225 00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:55.030 Joseph Murphy: to the design of Venice. 226 00:32:55.130 --> 00:32:57.220 and he has somebody that has. 227 00:32:57.430 --> 00:32:59.670 Joseph Murphy: I Don't, Are you aware of this. 228 00:33:00.310 --> 00:33:01.910 Paul Davis: Joe? Have been speaking with 229 00:33:08.270 --> 00:33:13.870 Joseph Murphy: right? He runs the homeless committee. and he has 230 00:33:15.410 --> 00:33:24.720 Gabriel Smith: digs into depth about a lot of these issues in Venice, and they may have information that'd be helpful to you. That would be great. 231 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:42.140 Erica Moore: Okay. 232 00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:47.090 Erica Moore: or it it's. I'm: sorry it's the lupic umbrella, even though there's the homelessness. So it's kind of a 233 00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:53.630 Erica Moore: that's something that's been bridging right now, but i'd encourage you. I i'm also running for a 234 00:33:53.760 --> 00:33:57.090 Erica Moore: I i'm ready for you know community officer. 235 00:33:57.180 --> 00:34:11.810 Erica Moore: too. So I I've I've seen you out there Anyways, I would strongly encourage you to go to, because you are a new face. I haven't seen you at meetings before, and I would I would really encourage you to go to all the different committee meetings and AD hoc meetings to get yourself familiar 236 00:34:11.810 --> 00:34:18.469 Erica Moore: with what's going on in some of the faces of people that you participate in a lot of things, so that you can start to see how the web 237 00:34:18.550 --> 00:34:21.889 Erica Moore: this big web, and how things all connect or don't 238 00:34:22.139 --> 00:34:27.730 Gabriel Smith: Absolutely. Yeah, I tend to be a more familiar face. Absolutely 239 00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:41.440 Joseph Murphy: so, Gabriel, if you your email address or your text me your email address, then I could make sure that I 240 00:34:41.690 --> 00:34:47.909 Joseph Murphy: that Frank gets it. I could contact you. Your email address and your telephone number. 241 00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.380 Gabriel Smith: I'll email you right now. What's your email? 242 00:34:51.130 --> 00:34:58.360 Joseph Murphy: It's: J. O. E. D. M. You are at gmail.com. 243 00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:07.740 Joseph Murphy: It stands for Joseph D. Murphy. J. O. E. D. M. U. R. At gmail.com 244 00:35:08.870 --> 00:35:11.950 Gabriel Smith: great sending it right now. 245 00:35:12.240 --> 00:35:16.270 Joseph Murphy: Okay, great. So we go back to the main agenda. 246 00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:19.730 Paul Davis: the main agenda. 247 00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:22.550 Joseph Murphy: the J. The agenda. 248 00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:27.350 Paul Davis: Yeah, you said we were going to talk about a few other points. Maybe I got got that wrong. 249 00:35:28.410 --> 00:35:30.520 Well, though I I 250 00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:34.130 Joseph Murphy: I don't have anything else to follow on, though. 251 00:35:35.070 --> 00:35:43.510 Paul Davis: Well, guys, we could describe a little bit the meeting we had with Sonia him, and as right we could. We chat about that. 252 00:35:44.660 --> 00:35:56.110 Paul Davis: and and I trust that you'll go ahead and do that 253 00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:02.190 Paul Davis: local director of Parks and recreation and parks. Sonia young him and his. Is that right? 254 00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:09.600 Paul Davis: Yes, she came and met with us with her assistant melody, and we 255 00:36:10.430 --> 00:36:22.410 Paul Davis: well had a great chance to chat a bit about the fact that the the 2 0f them and other staff members have come out to take over administration of wreck and parks in Venice, and really kind of a lot of the 256 00:36:22.590 --> 00:36:26.430 Paul Davis: you know, kind of coastal area here on the West Side. 257 00:36:26.530 --> 00:36:30.720 Paul Davis: and we wanted to talk with them about just kind of our interest in in 258 00:36:31.080 --> 00:36:43.050 Paul Davis: helping to try to improve Parks and Venice in particular. We showed her that little map that we have, and talked about some of Marnusha's ideas for improvements at Triangle Park or other areas. 259 00:36:43.110 --> 00:36:45.930 Paul Davis: and ultimately, I think, these 2 260 00:36:46.050 --> 00:36:48.850 Melody and Sonia seemed 261 00:36:49.620 --> 00:36:53.290 Paul Davis: well receptive and happy to talk and happy to 262 00:36:53.300 --> 00:36:59.160 Paul Davis: be plugged int0 0ur efforts to work to benefit parks around here. We John, was there. 263 00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:03.080 Isabel was there. Mary Nush was there, and Joe is there. 264 00:37:03.190 --> 00:37:04.870 Paul Davis: and 265 00:37:04.930 --> 00:37:12.300 Paul Davis: I think these people seem ready to kind of engage with us, and kind of provide us with 266 00:37:12.660 --> 00:37:21.760 Paul Davis: benefits in terms of park improvements, if they can, and also to kind of share with us things that they're working on, and they seem ambitious, and to be very much kind of 267 00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:36.620 Paul Davis: wanting to try to do good stuff in the Venice area. I guess. Notably. They're going to plan to have quarterly meetings with Venice stakeholders and talk about their efforts out here. and we all plan to get on a mailing list, so we would hear from them and be able to come to meetings like that. 268 00:37:36.770 --> 00:37:38.180 Paul Davis: And then, I think. 269 00:37:38.570 --> 00:37:54.790 Paul Davis: you know, we talked a bit about the idea that this place, Triangle Park was a cute little neighborhood part that we thought could be subject to benefits like either shade or additional plants or benches; and it happened that Sonia had not seen Triangle Park or visited it yet. 270 00:37:55.010 --> 00:38:04.440 Paul Davis: because I think she's relatively recent in in the in the district. So she actually went out there with Melody and told us in a later email that they'd gone and visited, and 271 00:38:04.490 --> 00:38:14.070 Paul Davis: they thought it was. I think they they were impressed with how small it was, but they also said, i'm gonna just tell you guys through real quick. They said that they had kind of 272 00:38:14.110 --> 00:38:20.970 Paul Davis: ordered up some signage, and it seems like, in response specifically, to having met with us. 273 00:38:21.090 --> 00:38:24.770 Paul Davis: You know they visited came to know it a bit. And 274 00:38:26.020 --> 00:38:43.040 Paul Davis: let's see, she said, it is very small. I need to find out if the path of travel needs to be clear for Ada access. If we had a bench it would block. That melody is going to update the signage and make a banner that says Triangle Park. We can start with some small improvements, so bottom line is, you know it was nice to 275 00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:51.430 Paul Davis: connect up with them. Have them go see Triangle Park. We have gotten them, I think, Mar Marnous said at once, and I said it again. We got them copies of marnushes. 276 00:38:51.510 --> 00:38:54.900 Paul Davis: you know, plans for possible improvements there 277 00:38:55.070 --> 00:38:59.840 Paul Davis: we all I I sent her also just tonight, Mary Nusha's plans for 278 00:39:00.020 --> 00:39:13.320 Paul Davis: urban urban planning really at the Westminster Dog Park, so I guess the bottom line is, we want to keep in touch with them and and stay linked up and try to see what they can do to help us with these parks, and they seem willing to try to do that. 279 00:39:14.100 --> 00:39:16.080 Regan Kibbee: Yeah, that's been the plastic 280 00:39:20.740 --> 00:39:22.350 Regan Kibbee: energy. 281 00:39:23.930 --> 00:39:26.150 Regan Kibbee: I'm sorry I missed it. When was this? 282 00:39:26.570 --> 00:39:39.750 Paul Davis: So, Regan? This was probably about 10 days ago. It was during the day one particular day, and it it I I guess i'm. I feel remiss and not offering you the opportunity to come to that. This was this really grew out of talks that Joe and I 283 00:39:39.900 --> 00:39:51.860 Paul Davis: and John, we're having about the parks. And then Mayor noose joined us, and then Isabel came in. But it that's okay, you guys, i'm sure did a great job, and and so so glad it happened. 284 00:39:52.310 --> 00:40:20.880 Regan Kibbee: Well, it's cool. I mean, I think one more thing to say about is left out the next time something like this happens. Oh, for sure, i'm sorry about that. And actually actually I know someone who, a woman who was an American woman who was working in Japan, who who was like fighting for years to get concluded in these management meetings with the Japanese managers, the man, when she got included, she was like, oh, my God! Why did I do? I did it. 285 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:26.340 Paul Davis: So I'm. I'm not fighting. You know too much. 286 00:40:26.450 --> 00:40:33.720 Paul Davis: Last last little thing to mention guys that I forgot, that is, that they made it. She made a key point, which is that their team. 287 00:40:33.870 --> 00:40:52.350 Paul Davis: although she does administer all these parks, They're more involved in programming and actually events and and kind of ongoing day to day management. There's also a like a facilities group, part of wreck and parks that does the actual building and construction, and we wanted to. We really were largely going to be there to talk to her about 288 00:40:52.350 --> 00:41:03.380 Paul Davis: things that she could do. That would be kind of low hanging fruit for helping us improve the parks like a bench, or you know this or that plant or shade structure, or just, you know, light and easy stuff that she might have sitting around in a warehouse. 289 00:41:03.380 --> 00:41:33.340 Paul Davis: But there is this distinction between her and her folks who do the actual kind of construction and and physical plant management. So we asked to be introduced to those people, and I think we have to follow up on that and find out more about who they are and how we might talk to them. Apparently they're very disorganized and hard to work with. At least, you know that was her. Her rough feeling about it. Typical local government. It was great to be there. She says that she's had tons of people in Venice Stakeholder groups get in touch with her and want to meet. So she's definitely, deeply absorbed, and 290 00:41:33.580 --> 00:41:38.930 Paul Davis: that the number of of coalitions in Venice that want to have her ear and and help out. You know it's funny 291 00:41:51.270 --> 00:41:55.740 Robin Murez: they'll have to be in person. But the facilities and repairs 292 00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:19.250 Robin Murez: Commissioners do a monthly zoom, and then there's the regular full commission zoom and they've got the also the staff on that, and that's like higher up. And she's talking about. I guess the facilities folks that are on the ground. And yeah, they're sort of slow to get to stuff. It seems that there's a backlog in just getting things painted. We've been trying to get. The 293 00:42:19.250 --> 00:42:24.930 Robin Murez: pagoda is repaired for what a year. Now and then they haven't yet begun. 294 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.150 Paul Davis: But 295 00:42:27.540 --> 00:42:35.240 Joseph Murphy: just just a comment on what I perceive. The theme of this discussion form committee. 296 00:42:35.530 --> 00:42:46.290 Joseph Murphy: It's basically focused on the urban design and ways that will develop communities 297 00:42:46.430 --> 00:42:47.920 Joseph Murphy: that 298 00:42:48.100 --> 00:42:52.690 Joseph Murphy: of families and children that they can live in and really enjoy. 299 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:56.220 And Parks is definitely one of the 300 00:42:56.570 --> 00:43:01.320 Joseph Murphy: parts of that walkability is another. 301 00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:07.490 We diversity is definitely one. These are all vision goals. 302 00:43:07.690 --> 00:43:20.430 Joseph Murphy: And so. when we have this kind of a conversation, it's really inspiring to me personally to see that this is happening. So the more of this the better, as far as i'm concerned. 303 00:43:20.650 --> 00:43:25.730 Joseph Murphy: and I appreciate your involvement. So enough said about that. 304 00:43:27.730 --> 00:43:29.670 Joseph Murphy: If there's the 305 00:43:29.820 --> 00:43:35.400 Joseph Murphy: do you want to talk further? We have. What time is it we? We have to close at 6 30, 306 00:43:35.990 --> 00:43:38.520 Joseph Murphy: because Lupec begins at 6 30. 307 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:43.630 Joseph Murphy: What time they cancelled their meeting. But 308 00:43:45.490 --> 00:43:53.140 Paul Davis: oh, I think the key would be now to decide if there are any next steps we want to be committing ourselves to between now and our next meeting. It seems like 309 00:43:53.280 --> 00:44:07.850 Paul Davis: the one might be to make sure we do plan because the the the full groups meeting is before ours. Right. It's. It's the third Tuesday. So if we want to have John show up there, we should just make sure we coordinate amongst ourselves, to be sure to be on that agenda. Send a note to Jim. 310 00:44:07.970 --> 00:44:19.030 Paul Davis: etc. Right? That's kind of the key thing right now, and I can. I can. I can actually just remind Sonia that we're hoping to have her hook us up with the 311 00:44:19.170 --> 00:44:21.570 Paul Davis: facilities and repairs people, just so we can try to 312 00:44:21.700 --> 00:44:24.880 Paul Davis: forge a connection there. She She did also say that if we 313 00:44:25.050 --> 00:44:39.850 Paul Davis: hook up with the Council person that would be a way to kind of jog facilities and repairs people's on priority items, and i'm sure that you are doing that, Robin and i'm sure that's also not very easy, right right at the table, but you know, might be some to start working on. 314 00:44:40.290 --> 00:44:42.780 John Palka: Yeah, what time on the third Tuesday 315 00:44:43.010 --> 00:44:49.270 Erica Moore: is the 6 Pm. But I think when it goes back to in person it's going to switch back to some. 316 00:44:49.700 --> 00:44:57.510 John Palka: All right. Well, the so the next one is March, Tuesday, March 20 first at 6, so I can put that on my calendar. 317 00:45:01.220 --> 00:45:04.030 Regan Kibbee: Is that called the Vmc. Board meeting? 318 00:45:04.050 --> 00:45:05.050 Erica Moore: Yes. 319 00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:10.230 Erica Moore: no, I can. I can. I make a comment about something. 320 00:45:10.770 --> 00:45:11.720 Joseph Murphy: Yeah, sure. 321 00:45:12.250 --> 00:45:22.890 Erica Moore: You know, I i'm a member of the Resiliency Committee, and we are having a a forum at first aid form. That's i'm going to be on March eleventh at Pmar Park. 322 00:45:23.140 --> 00:45:28.280 Erica Moore: and I just wanted to say that seems like that would kind of be a nice cross-section 323 00:45:28.610 --> 00:45:41.130 Erica Moore: or something kind of collaborative like with your group, because a lot of families, it's really important for parents, and for first of all, it's important for everybody. But it's really important for families and parents to know what to do in an emergency. 324 00:45:41.310 --> 00:45:51.950 Erica Moore: and I think that it might be nice. I know, Regan, you're connected with the best moms, and I don't know it just might be something that maybe there could be some partnership. Sometimes there's some sort of 325 00:45:52.140 --> 00:45:55.530 Erica Moore: promotional with each other. I don't know how that would work, but 326 00:45:55.580 --> 00:45:59.460 Erica Moore: just an idea that could be. Possibly, if you could 327 00:45:59.670 --> 00:46:03.840 Erica Moore: promote that as well to your your 328 00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:13.590 Erica Moore: people as Well, you know your mailing list, etc., just because yeah, I I I totally agree with it, and I have occasionally promoted things. I haven't got too much turnout. But I wonder if 329 00:46:13.780 --> 00:46:29.730 Regan Kibbee: maybe there could be something like, since we're doing this playground now on Saturday mornings. I wonder if there could be some kind of collaboration where you like. You're going there. And so the kids can be at this little playground, which is in close, maybe easier for parents to focus. Maybe we could plan something like that. 330 00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:37.370 Erica Moore: That'd be amazing to to use that facility. If that was okay. To have one of the flows might be great. It's usually at Pmar, but 331 00:46:37.420 --> 00:46:51.260 Erica Moore: I don't know if that's possible. But I I think. 332 00:46:51.260 --> 00:47:09.960 Regan Kibbee: care. You want to go to a playground ideally that you can walk to, so you could be getting a whole different. You know, bunch of people over there at Penmar, so it's not really a conflict we could, you know, try to promote both things like maybe do promote what's happening in Penmar. And then also, maybe plan something that could take place. 333 00:47:10.040 --> 00:47:32.880 Regan Kibbee: you know. Maybe a special one-off event at that could maybe some information tables, or something that could be at the at the At the little first lutheran event. 334 00:47:32.890 --> 00:47:36.860 Erica Moore: We it's a very small committee, and a lot of people do not attend our meetings, and 335 00:47:36.910 --> 00:47:50.890 Erica Moore: part of it is because it hasn't been in person in this particular type of meeting works better in person. It you know, when you can see you know how you have the dummy there that you're working on, and things like that it's more aspiring for people to get involved. They see how it relates more to their life, but 336 00:47:50.890 --> 00:48:02.920 Erica Moore: especially because the world, now having so many crisis with the earthquakes and all these things, I think, people, it's maybe more in their consciousness that this could actually happen to us, and that we really need to be serious and take. 337 00:48:02.950 --> 00:48:11.870 Erica Moore: You know the fact that it could be a tsunami and these different things that these emergency preparedness is really important, and we're really not prepared. And then we don't have 338 00:48:11.980 --> 00:48:24.660 Erica Moore: a lot of supplies and things that we need so, and and the knowledge of what to do. And so i'm just growing it out that maybe this is something, and I think it'd be nice to partner with you with that, and I don't know how that would look. But 339 00:48:25.060 --> 00:48:35.490 Erica Moore: I definitely would like to talk with you more about that. If you're interested or you want to. 340 00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:48.520 John Palka: Okay, sounds good. I mean, I have your phone number 341 00:48:49.550 --> 00:48:51.150 John Palka: prior to the pandemic. 342 00:48:53.840 --> 00:49:04.640 Erica Moore: Yeah, it'd be good to connect up that group with your with your group. 343 00:49:04.680 --> 00:49:13.310 Erica Moore: So that's what i'm saying. Those all these different like. you know, there's this group over there, and this report that we're trying to kind of, maybe get everybody to kind of come together 344 00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:16.270 Erica Moore: so that we can be more effective. And 345 00:49:16.530 --> 00:49:20.180 so that is part of it. You know where it's. It's like, you know. It's a work in progress. 346 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:21.290 Erica Moore: So 347 00:49:21.300 --> 00:49:29.900 John Palka: you give me your email address. 348 00:49:30.120 --> 00:49:48.940 Erica Moore: C. A. T. E. R. I. Ng. At Earthly. I'm. Like the only person left at Earthlink. They taught that that's what happens when you've had your company for 38 years. I don't want to change my, you know I get customers that are like our child, who you did their first birthday party is now getting married. 349 00:49:49.140 --> 00:49:56.950 Joseph Murphy: Okay, so it's Bb: catering@earthlink.net 350 00:49:57.660 --> 00:49:58.640 Erica Moore: absolutely 351 00:49:59.070 --> 00:50:05.860 Joseph Murphy: as secretary as my function as a secretary. I need to be told what to do. 352 00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:18.120 Joseph Murphy: and one of the things that I thought of doing independently was to give out the names, addresses, and contact information of everybody that is, on this committee. 353 00:50:18.630 --> 00:50:31.390 Joseph Murphy: so that you can call each other and make contact with one another and top with one another. and I I don't have to be involved in all those conversations. As a matter of fact. 354 00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:46.850 Joseph Murphy: I probably wouldn't be helpful to be involved, because I don't understand that much. I'm getting hard a hearing. but I don't see any reason why that couldn't help, so i'll do that if you give me permission to do so. 355 00:50:47.250 --> 00:50:49.670 The other thing is. 356 00:50:50.630 --> 00:50:54.580 Joseph Murphy: If there's anything else you think that this committee 357 00:50:54.890 --> 00:50:57.640 should be announcing. 358 00:50:57.650 --> 00:51:01.340 Joseph Murphy: or should you know somehow, I can 359 00:51:01.660 --> 00:51:12.090 Joseph Murphy: do for you. Then let me know what that is. I think there were some things that came through today, but i'm not sure what they are, because I don't remember all of them. 360 00:51:12.180 --> 00:51:17.460 Joseph Murphy: There's a lot of talk, and i'm having difficulty pulling it all together in my mind. 361 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:21.930 Joseph Murphy: I Gabriel i'd like to sit down and talk with you. 362 00:51:22.290 --> 00:51:23.310 Gabriel Smith: Absolutely. 363 00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:31.920 Gabriel Smith: It's it's it's Gabriel, though 364 00:51:32.140 --> 00:51:39.650 Robin Murez: I just want to mention that, Erica, you are staffing a table at the farmers market on Friday mornings. Now, right 365 00:51:39.730 --> 00:51:48.040 Erica Moore: only once a month. It's the third Friday of the month. 366 00:51:48.040 --> 00:52:03.450 Erica Moore: Okay? Well, Regan, you go to the farmers markets every Friday, so you can also find Erica there. Actually, i'm not always there, because I do food for meals on wheels in the morning. So it's it's actually a very hard window for me to attend. I was there last week. 367 00:52:03.500 --> 00:52:09.960 Erica Moore: but Keith and Onika were manning the station for the most majority of the time. But 368 00:52:10.010 --> 00:52:14.520 Erica Moore: you probably still have my phone number, and if you don't i'll! I'll reach out to you. I have I, unless you changed your number. 369 00:52:16.040 --> 00:52:17.360 Joseph Murphy: I have a 370 00:52:17.520 --> 00:52:32.120 Joseph Murphy: Gabriel Erica. You're at the market every Friday or no, No, i'm not. But i'm going to tell you where I am. All the time is at my business, which is on Venice Boulevard, next to Queen Market. 371 00:52:32.150 --> 00:52:39.400 Erica Moore: and any of you are welcome to pop on over. We put food outside for people to take. You know, organic food 372 00:52:39.600 --> 00:52:41.880 Erica Moore: for the community is out there for free. 373 00:52:47.390 --> 00:52:59.580 Erica Moore: Okay, I'd love to love to do that. Well, i'm right here, and i'm here seriously, like many hours a day, like, sometimes 20 h a day 374 00:52:59.620 --> 00:53:00.590 Erica Moore: I do. 375 00:53:00.850 --> 00:53:16.980 Joseph Murphy: And don't you don't still have the Earthlet. 376 00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:22.030 Joseph Murphy: the contact information that I will distribute to everybody on this group. 377 00:53:22.100 --> 00:53:32.500 Joseph Murphy: and it it will include more because it's not just committee. There's several people that I've listed as non voting members, because they can't show up on 378 00:53:32.580 --> 00:53:37.370 Joseph Murphy: on at every meeting. and we need to make sure that we have a quorum. 379 00:53:37.460 --> 00:53:44.560 So in the main. But in the meantime I don't see any reason not to pull everybody together so that they can talk to each other. 380 00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:51.710 Joseph Murphy: and so send me that information, and i'll incorporate it into something. I send after the whole. 381 00:53:52.080 --> 00:53:54.960 Joseph Murphy: all bunch of folks. 382 00:54:01.700 --> 00:54:02.630 Regan Kibbee: Okay. 383 00:54:03.890 --> 00:54:11.960 Joseph Murphy: Yeah. And I'm: I'm: on your guys's email list. So you have my email to contact me and I'll. 384 00:54:12.170 --> 00:54:16.700 Erica Moore: Yeah, I'll respond off of the last email. You set out with the agenda, and i'll send you my phone number. 385 00:54:17.340 --> 00:54:21.910 Joseph Murphy: And, like I said, i'm serious. I'm right here on Venice full of our next to please Market 386 00:54:22.040 --> 00:54:27.120 Erica Moore: Teddy Corner from the High School. He's he's Venice. 387 00:54:27.640 --> 00:54:31.570 Joseph Murphy: I'm. Intrigued by your spending, you know, a market time 388 00:54:31.790 --> 00:54:43.130 Joseph Murphy: because I used to do that on a weekly basis with the I I recall, so we didn't have a ball with the kids there. It was just fantastic, very rain. I'd like to 389 00:54:43.330 --> 00:54:47.770 Joseph Murphy: talk about that, too, because that's something that could be renewed. I don't see why not? 390 00:54:47.900 --> 00:55:04.110 Robin Murez: Oh, Joe, They, Jim, has been trying to get somebody to do it you should. You should call him. He would love to have somebody at the table. They don't set up a table because they don't have anybody to do it. The outreach person does not d0 0utreach at the market any more. 391 00:55:04.790 --> 00:55:20.310 Joseph Murphy: I'll. I'll talk to you about it, Eric, and if you're interested in Robert, I'd be glad to talk to you about it, too, because it's a little bit more complicated than that, but it can be done, and I i'd like to talk to Jim about it, you know, if you he brings the table. And 392 00:55:20.310 --> 00:55:38.390 Erica Moore: yeah, if you can do it, he he's. You know the neighborhood Council benefits from it. And yeah, we have an outreach person who just likes to buy trinkets for $875. 393 00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:39.280 Paul Davis: Wow. 394 00:55:39.540 --> 00:55:51.110 Paul Davis: Yeah, Eric. I'm glad to see your face because I hear you talking on the Bnc. Monthly meetings, and I've never known who you were, so 395 00:55:51.160 --> 00:56:06.130 Erica Moore: it's not. It's nice to be here. I've been in report, but you know it's. Unfortunately this time Slot is hard for me sometimes, and i'm not able to to attend, but I will attend as much as I can. I I I there was one meeting where I think it was just me and Joe. It happens, you know. 396 00:56:06.200 --> 00:56:14.260 Paul Davis: that's what happens. It's true. Well, guys, I think we're kind of wrapping up because we're gonna pass this electronic venue over to some another gang here. I think in just a minute. Is that correct? 397 00:56:14.530 --> 00:56:29.910 Robin Murez: They cancelled. So I don't think s0 0, not okay. Well, I think we're we're pretty much done, anyway. Is that right? I think we are. I was gonna ask Paul if you keep me in the loop on things that you're also doing with Reckon parks, because I am like dealing with them constantly so 398 00:56:29.940 --> 00:56:49.630 Paul Davis: well in Erica's point about not duplicating efforts applies really well to all of us. I mean, the fact is, if we're all talking to the same people. We gotta to it in a coordinated fashion. So we're not exactly with different costs. We can. We can help each other, and and it makes more sense, because then more people are going to know about things, and that's more cohesive. I mean our 399 00:56:49.640 --> 00:56:55.500 Erica Moore: that's. It makes sense with this, too, because the green space and the part little parts, and you know. 400 00:56:55.610 --> 00:56:58.080 Paul Davis: So it's all the same. Good stuff. 401 00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:04.830 Gabriel Smith: I asked the question before signing off everybody. Sure, just in one, you know. 402 00:57:04.900 --> 00:57:12.650 Gabriel Smith: or 2 sentences. How can I best serve you and the community as a potential new L Upc. Chair? 403 00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:18.140 Paul Davis: Well, I think that's a big question, and it takes a bigger answer. But 404 00:57:22.300 --> 00:57:41.090 Erica Moore: and really look at things, and really really be involved, and take it seriously, a lot of people, I don't believe, actually go to even the site to look at the properties, or really look at how my biggest thing with that whole lupic thing is that they do not look at how it affects all the surrounding community when they want to do these specific projects. 405 00:57:41.100 --> 00:57:47.330 Erica Moore: I was on it on a, on an appeal with 32 people. I had on my appeal with me. and it's like they just started to listen. 406 00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:51.820 Erica Moore: and it's like that's how many times you get 32 people on an appeal for a project 407 00:58:04.190 --> 00:58:28.170 Robin Murez: about projects that are being heard, and you know it's. You don't always realize that what the project is, they've got to be described somewhat, and then, you know, outreach has the ability to put it out on social media and put it out all over the place, but to have a meeting where they're discussing things like having 8 story buildings, the full length of a 408 00:58:28.510 --> 00:58:42.060 Robin Murez: Lincoln Boulevard without anybody knowing. I mean. That is just outrageous so. 409 00:58:42.060 --> 00:58:51.210 Robin Murez: and but the words got to get out, and they're not doing anything to get the word out. 410 00:58:51.300 --> 00:58:59.580 Joseph Murphy: A number number of subcommittees of of the Venice Neighborhood Council. It's common in in local government. 411 00:58:59.610 --> 00:59:09.790 Joseph Murphy: I I i'm not sure that we're going to be able to create a solution that deals with the entire thing. But i'm interested in that issue because I 412 00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:16.350 Joseph Murphy: I I actually studied the a local government when I was in law school. 413 00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:23.510 Joseph Murphy: and it's a very difficult complex systemic issue that Isn't going to be resolved 414 00:59:23.660 --> 00:59:29.540 immediately without any, for without further discussion it's not just gonna happen. 415 00:59:29.680 --> 00:59:57.560 Robin Murez: Well, Joe, there is a framework, though that is not being utilized. We have people who there is a committee called the Outreach Committee. They do have the ability to post things on social media and on, you know, websites. They have money to send out postcards to people. 416 00:59:57.560 --> 01:00:06.100 Erica Moore: and also the communication officer, though, is also supposed to be put like like the fact. They don't even have march popular. What's that like 417 01:00:06.120 --> 01:00:24.190 Erica Moore: that? That? That stuff should be populated. 418 01:00:24.310 --> 01:00:40.480 Robin Murez: It's just it's it's all about communication and all of the areas of all of our lives. Everything is always about communication. 419 01:00:40.680 --> 01:00:45.140 Robin Murez: I think Erica would agree. They are not doing 420 01:00:45.140 --> 01:01:02.490 Robin Murez: basic job. 421 01:01:12.130 --> 01:01:14.950 Erica Moore: Can I make one cookie announcement, like super quick. 422 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:32.750 Erica Moore: is Evna is having a a challenger event on March Second, a challenger event means it's for candidates that are running that are not incumbent, and they will be. It was an opportunity for people to be met in the community. They really you should reach out to them because you could be there. Since you are Challenger. 423 01:01:32.750 --> 01:01:37.100 Joseph Murphy: I will be the 424 01:01:37.110 --> 01:01:56.110 Erica Moore: save. We're getting into the politics of it, and we're not going to solve that in the next minute. 425 01:01:56.140 --> 01:02:03.160 Joseph Murphy: because the other Forum is not having until the end of March, when it's going to be time. 426 01:02:03.200 --> 01:02:05.960 Joseph Murphy: Do I have your permission to adjourn this meeting. 427 01:02:07.040 --> 01:02:08.640 Joseph Murphy: All right, Thank you. 428 01:02:14.490 --> 01:02:15.610 Paul Davis: Thanks. Guys.
