WEBVTT 1 00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:24.590 Me. 2 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:17.890 Brian U: Hi. 3 00:07:18.130 --> 00:07:18.940 Vicki Halliday: hey? 4 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.790 Brian U: Can you hear me? I can. Okay. Great thanks. 5 00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:30.560 Vicki Halliday: Yeah. 6 00:07:30.580 --> 00:07:31.780 Brian U: I'm. Good. Thanks. 7 00:07:34.150 --> 00:07:36.580 Vicki Halliday: Easy. Times right now. 8 00:07:37.150 --> 00:07:38.900 Brian U: Yeah. 9 00:07:39.940 --> 00:07:41.290 Brian U: indeed. 10 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.900 Brian U: You're on these things every night. 11 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.090 Vicki Halliday: There, this is the fourth one today. 12 00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:49.040 Brian U: Yeah. 13 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:50.820 Brian U: Oh. 14 00:07:52.190 --> 00:08:00.780 Brian U: you're meeting the Tuesday night thing last week was kind of crazy. 15 00:08:00.890 --> 00:08:07.030 Vicki Halliday: It was. It? Was that it was really that 16 00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:11.840 Brian U: not perfection. How you guys sit through that. 17 00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:16.290 Vicki Halliday: How we sit through it just listening. This? 18 00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:20.200 Brian U: Yeah, it was embarrassing. Yeah. 19 00:08:23.900 --> 00:08:30.650 Brian U: I just got off a power meeting with Lon myself, with her people from sure. 20 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.679 Brian U: Yeah, we count 68 people 21 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:43.730 Brian U: in the last 4 months in Venice, only off of Bonn's past contract. but we get no publicity for it. 22 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.470 Vicki Halliday: That's terrible. 23 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.390 Brian U: Yeah, so and then I talked to Tracy goes. I didn't even know Brian. 24 00:08:49.930 --> 00:08:55.410 Brian U: Well, you know you. You and I talk. I could do an article about that. 25 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:03.990 Brian U: because and i'm not i'm not going to bring it up tonight. It's got nothing, because it's more. But I mean we could write a story on it, Brian, because it's a good story. 26 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:08.230 Brian U: Yes, let me get. Let me get this week out of the way. And then next week 27 00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:09.530 Vicki Halliday: Well, yeah. 28 00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:15.120 Brian U: cause I I finally call Tracy and I go. You know it's just so hard for me because you put me together with clamp. 29 00:09:15.290 --> 00:09:26.880 Vicki Halliday: I gave them all this information, all the stuff, everything that we were doing. Then he's gone. He had me write him a proposal, because they said St. Joseph never responded to them about doing what Tracy wanted to do with outreach. 30 00:09:26.900 --> 00:09:31.720 Brian U: so they asked me to submit a proposal. So I submit one for a 1 million bucks 1,100, 31 00:09:33.020 --> 00:09:40.420 Brian U: and and then right down here, back, then I see her out there with with the mayor, which is basically the same program that bond it has. 32 00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:45.680 Brian U: Yeah, you know, in camera to Home Project. So, anyway. it's frustrating 33 00:09:45.930 --> 00:09:56.730 Brian U: one of the things i'm finding in the community. That is kind of interesting is that the average person I mean those of us who go to meetings all the time. 34 00:09:56.830 --> 00:10:03.680 Vicki Halliday: But the average person doesn't know the difference between Project Room Key Project Home Key Insights. Say 35 00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:16.020 Vicki Halliday: they. They don't get it. I mean, you know they're all saying, go, Tracy, go, Tracy, and everybody wants to go, Tracy, but it's the same thing upon it. It's the same. It was an optics change program. 36 00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:19.560 Brian U: It takes people out of a deal. They're gone. 37 00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:24.350 Brian U: They could put them in into the spot. But there's no anything after that. 38 00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:31.710 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, I mean, and I guess she's got to play that sandbox. I get it. Yeah, but people just don't understand which is which. 39 00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:34.850 Vicki Halliday: No, a voucher from 40 00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:36.780 Brian U: anything. 41 00:10:37.370 --> 00:10:50.170 Brian U: Yeah. And and somebody said to me. Well, it's not that important. And I said, but you know it is for perception. It's it's it's good to know whether somebody goes to a motel for 42 00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:51.640 Brian U: yeah a week 43 00:10:51.810 --> 00:10:52.700 Vicki Halliday: per month. 44 00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:56.210 Brian U: Yeah. Well, there's never tell. They'll never turn the truth. 45 00:10:56.380 --> 00:10:59.310 Brian U: you know, because they can't. That's the problem. I mean. 46 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:09.910 Brian U: you know. Reverend Andy Bale. So you got put on the loss of board. Just called me, and he's just laughing. I go. You know we have 4 of our people returned to homeless. So you guys have 22, and he goes, Brian. 47 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:14.950 Brian U: closer to 47% of the people that go in the hotels are out the back door. 48 00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:17.970 Brian U: you know, but the perception. 49 00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:21.530 Brian U: Anyway, let's have other people joining now, so 50 00:11:21.970 --> 00:11:23.240 Brian U: I want 51 00:11:24.230 --> 00:11:39.320 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: long time. No, see, hey? Long, long time. No, see. I know. I know. I'm telling you I I was trying to make you of your eyes like I just got off a call right now, and someone told me. Hey, i'm going to see you tonight. I was like, okay. I'll see you tonight. Here 52 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:46.080 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I i'm still making all the the connections everywhere with our community partners on that sense. I know 53 00:11:46.200 --> 00:12:03.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the West Side is very active in terms of just everything you guys do in your involvement, so I I appreciate the patience on my learning curb to a certain extent. But we are doing a lot of work on the grounds, you know, and Vick Vicki and I are also on the Lapd Advisory Board. 54 00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:11.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah. And then she's also on the Neighborhood Council. I'm not. But I do the the share stuff. 55 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:20.480 Brian U: Yeah. So since you guys are talking about the quick lapd. Is there any 56 00:12:21.230 --> 00:12:32.710 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: point on that? Or is it an active enough married? Or maybe we can? There's a role for me to attend one of the meetings, or is it the 57 00:12:32.810 --> 00:12:36.020 Brian U: It would be great to come and introduce yourself? 58 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.080 Vicki Halliday: You know we just went through the transition from 59 00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:57.850 Vicki Halliday: a captain that was really engaged with the community to a new captain. He's great, but he's still, you know, getting his feet wet, and everything. So we're in the same building, I guess. Yeah, that'd be great, Vicki and I I think 60 00:12:57.950 --> 00:13:16.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: something that maybe even we can discuss there is, I don't know. If you've had the Circle team go. I I think it'd be good to have them come with us on some of these, because I know they they interact a lot with the so just some, some we can discuss offline. I've been working with the with our Circle team as well in terms of their their service area as well. So 61 00:13:16.790 --> 00:13:23.590 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: if you guys do have that pad, feel free to invite me and let's see what what makes sense 62 00:13:24.180 --> 00:13:28.300 Brian U: the Circle team did make a presentation to the community police advice report. 63 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:38.050 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, we just had them last. What? 2 weeks. Oh, so Shannon Fire was there right? 64 00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:43.530 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I actually was with Shannon when she left to go to your meeting 65 00:13:43.680 --> 00:14:01.230 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: because we were we were me, and we were. We're working on something, and I had just seen her, and I was running up to one of my meetings, and she was like, hey, are you going to the same type of meeting? I go, which one is, she goes well. I'm not going to a pad, but I do have another meeting, so that you must be the type she was talking about 66 00:14:02.090 --> 00:14:07.070 Brian U: It's it's it's so different. Yet it's all the same. You'll see a lot of us in the same 67 00:14:07.690 --> 00:14:15.640 Vicki Halliday: same stuff. But if he's extremely stay close to Vicki, and you'll be on the inside. 68 00:14:16.010 --> 00:14:23.710 Vicki Halliday: No, it was good to hear them talk, because I hadn't had any interaction with them since they first opened 69 00:14:23.900 --> 00:14:32.000 Vicki Halliday: their office at Westminster, and the opening was pretty much a debacle When they first started. 70 00:14:32.870 --> 00:14:39.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I heard there were some growing pains. That's what that is something I had heard same time. 71 00:14:41.390 --> 00:14:45.250 Vicki Halliday: and it was also the sensitivity of where they were offering. 72 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:52.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, I know there was a lot of hurdles on on that front, and just the way it was rolled down. So I 73 00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:58.990 I have heard this very and just degrees of how the community feels about just the overall service, and 74 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:04.350 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I in my conversations with Shannon as well. 75 00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:24.680 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: They also, as you know, they're only a year old as well. They're learning. There's a lot of growing pains for everybody, and I think they're a little more settled in now, kind of a year out, and they have a new home, and I honestly just they've been doing. They've helped this out a lot already in terms of just the resources. I don't think 76 00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:34.990 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: has been fully utilized within the Venice community, and I'm working with them and and the Mayor's team just to kind of see like, how do we? 77 00:15:35.050 --> 00:15:49.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: How do we start making it? Be more of what it was supposed to be, and just having the the overall. I think the work they're doing is good. I think the biggest issue right now is, is the interface between kind of accessing their services as a constituent. 78 00:15:49.890 --> 00:16:02.900 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: because that's kind of the biggest hurdle I've heard is happening on on that front in terms of the constituents kind of usability of making the call through the circle team. So I know they're working through some of that as well. 79 00:16:03.130 --> 00:16:06.700 We talked about that at Cpab. It was very interesting, because. 80 00:16:06.880 --> 00:16:08.330 Vicki Halliday: you know, if it 81 00:16:08.490 --> 00:16:26.110 Vicki Halliday: an Lapd Dispatcher downtown is the person who makes the decision on whether it's an armed response, or it's Circle team. What do we say to the dispatcher? Because most of us are so close to all of this? We sort of know who should go? 82 00:16:26.920 --> 00:16:33.250 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: You know that's a what did Shannon say on that from for me right now, Usually 83 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:49.040 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: as we're sharing more information, and and constituents are starting to kind of understand kind of their role, you know. I tell them like, if you should more. For the most part your best judgment will tell you how big of an emergency it is, or is it. 84 00:16:49.040 --> 00:17:03.320 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you know? And when you explain it it is possible just to say, hey, you know we have this Xyz issue. I think this is one that i'd like to, you know. Can you connect me with the circle program, or something like that, and just kind of being straight up with some of that to try. And 85 00:17:03.530 --> 00:17:12.089 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: if there is some fog to clear up out of the way, that's good, because from what I to my understanding is sometimes a lot of the disconnect is kind of 86 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:24.349 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: which is what I also here, with some of our slows, and our lapd team is just kind of what the person is on laying to the dispatch at the time. Isn't always the clearest. So there's a little bit of like figuring it out 87 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:32.270 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so that they can allocate those right resources. So something we've discussed, or at least with a couple of constituents, as I mentioned is just. 88 00:17:32.270 --> 00:17:48.780 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you know, if you really feel it's not a not emergency. You're already calling. The non emergency hotline requests that the Circle team put. You know it is a resource, and they should know, and maybe that can clear some of the fog on the initial call. And just say, you know we need the Circle team to come out 89 00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:52.310 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and being up front with them that way, that might help a little. 90 00:17:52.320 --> 00:18:05.610 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, we've we've tried that. Shannon and I are going to talk some more about it, because it's an interesting situation, especially for those of us here in the sex zone, who've been probably closest to a ground 0 91 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:11.530 Vicki Halliday: sort of situation that we know the faces we know these people we know. If they're violent, we know if they are 92 00:18:11.770 --> 00:18:19.070 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: yeah, and they just shared. I don't know if it's been made public, or what. But I know for us that now we have an internal 93 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:29.580 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: kind of request, for we could use. That was just shared with me today. Actually, I just responded to Shannon, so I know they're trying to integrate a better. 94 00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:46.080 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: a better way to communicate with residents. And I think right now, at least, like I said, if there are things that come up, we can start making some of those requests more directly to to the circle program through that. So yeah, feel free to include me on those conversations. Me and Shannon are already talking. So if 95 00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:56.070 Vicki Halliday: you know we're all in the same room. There's no sense of scheduling 2 meetings taking up Everyone's time. 96 00:18:56.810 --> 00:19:09.020 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, we worked with her when I was in CD. 13. The other circle team, when it was in this initial inception, was the one in Hollywood. So, and when we right before we left 13, 97 00:19:09.020 --> 00:19:23.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I had just made the request to try and expand it to like the Echo Park Silver Lake Area because of that work so it definitely can work. There's just you know a few things that I think we can tweak on all fronts. 98 00:19:23.830 --> 00:19:24.500 Vicki Halliday: Yeah. 99 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.310 Vicki Halliday: one, have you? You've met Frank Correct, Frank Murphy, our chairman. 100 00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:31.330 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Let me. 101 00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:40.780 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: How's it going for? I know we've discussed it on the okay. Here we go. I gotta change my I think we've met Frank. I don't know right now, but for sure via email we've connected. 102 00:19:41.170 --> 00:19:43.130 frank murphy: I'm sure we've met before. 103 00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:44.630 Hmm. 104 00:19:46.090 --> 00:19:53.990 frank murphy: I recognize you. But you're, you know, always upfront with Tracy. So there's always a crowd, anyhow. 105 00:19:57.110 --> 00:20:00.040 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, we need a few more people, to my quorum. 106 00:20:04.870 --> 00:20:06.420 frank murphy: No, we're good 5. 107 00:20:09.890 --> 00:20:13.490 Vicki Halliday: Okay, we will. We'll let some other people come in. It's still 108 00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:15.880 frank murphy: Yeah. Sure. Couple of minutes, too. 109 00:20:17.840 --> 00:20:18.790 Vicki Halliday: Hey, Pat? 110 00:20:19.890 --> 00:20:25.490 PatRaphael: Hi, guys! 111 00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:28.150 PatRaphael: Yes, I've been 112 00:20:28.560 --> 00:20:34.490 PatRaphael: usually for the meeting. I come by staples just for the meeting. 113 00:20:34.630 --> 00:20:36.840 PatRaphael: But I've kind of had to 114 00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:43.800 PatRaphael: be online little more than normal. So that's kind of maybe you hang out at Staples a little more. 115 00:20:46.590 --> 00:20:48.790 Vicki Halliday: Yeah, a couple of times I've walked to. 116 00:20:48.850 --> 00:20:56.730 Vicki Halliday: and I thought where that's bad. Yeah, I've been kind of missing, and you're not the only one that's telling me that. 117 00:20:57.010 --> 00:21:06.350 PatRaphael: So the neighbors also appreciate that I kind of. and actively China 118 00:21:06.930 --> 00:21:15.730 PatRaphael: hang out well over there. So so they do. Let me know that. Hey, where are you? 119 00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:28.220 Vicki Halliday: It's really nice that you were able to show up one I'm appreciated. 120 00:21:28.520 --> 00:21:29.800 frank murphy: And 121 00:21:30.290 --> 00:21:36.190 frank murphy: you know we need to have a lot of a lot more interaction to sort of to sort of 122 00:21:36.710 --> 00:21:39.770 frank murphy: get this ship going in the right direction. 123 00:21:40.530 --> 00:21:43.030 frank murphy: The guys's efforts. 124 00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:57.750 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: No, no, yeah, you know. As I was mentioning to Nik earlier right now. I'm still kind of you know, getting pulled on all places just trying to get the the full lay of the land as we are trying to get some of these resources online, so 125 00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:16.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I probably expect a little bit more of the scatter brainish for the next couple of more weeks and months. As I kind of get rolling. But i'm I really look forward to working with everyone and just the different input I've already had some individual interactions with with some of you in terms of some of the services and work, and just look forward to to working with everybody. 126 00:22:18.350 --> 00:22:19.380 Vicki Halliday: Very kind. 127 00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:21.550 frank murphy: perfect. Let's see here. 128 00:22:25.630 --> 00:22:26.660 frank murphy: Oh, good. 129 00:22:29.590 --> 00:22:33.810 frank murphy: I told I told Ashley that we would probably get. 130 00:22:34.570 --> 00:22:42.070 frank murphy: you know, by the time we do the upfront business, you know it'll be about 7, 15 or so. So 131 00:22:51.430 --> 00:23:00.130 PatRaphael: okay, I've got a new development. That's kind of annoying me a little bit. Does anybody know how to turn off this? A close cap setting going on. 132 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:16.600 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I can turn it off, but if somebody requests it pad, it's gonna oh, oh, that's fine! I I I just never had it before, but that's fine.

So the minute the anybody object to that 166 00:26:07.540 --> 00:26:18.380 frank murphy: doesn't look like it. So the am. Minutes have been approved all right. So the share report 167 00:26:19.010 --> 00:26:26.170 frank murphy: just wanted to start out with. What I always start out with is that the 168 00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:30.180 frank murphy: that this streets and sidewalks as our 169 00:26:30.990 --> 00:26:39.710 frank murphy: as our shelter solution is the most inhumane, brutal and unsafe and unsanitary emergency shelter, solution 170 00:26:40.340 --> 00:26:47.260 frank murphy: that being said. you know we're seeing a lot of a lot of 171 00:26:47.970 --> 00:26:54.650 frank murphy: motion in play with our new Council person and the new Mayor. So we're. 172 00:26:56.180 --> 00:27:05.920 frank murphy: I'm sure that a lot of folks are with this rainy weather cold and blowing. It's it's a it's a it's 173 00:27:08.270 --> 00:27:14.600 frank murphy: an excellent respite. Anyhow. we 174 00:27:16.300 --> 00:27:26.570 frank murphy: want to. This is the Staff's opportunity to present to us. and they were so. They were one Fragosa and Ashley 175 00:27:26.670 --> 00:27:34.850 frank murphy: Zado Lazada, or have have decided to join us. Ashley isn't here yet. 176 00:27:34.940 --> 00:27:48.350 frank murphy: Oh, cool, all right, good good. And and so we're gonna we're gonna stick real tight to the timelines so the questions will come from the public first. 177 00:27:48.650 --> 00:27:51.200 frank murphy: and you can ask a question. 178 00:27:51.470 --> 00:28:04.810 frank murphy: and you have 30 s to present the question. So keep it concise. We want to hear what one, and actually have to say, that's where we want to hear the most about. So let's keep the questions 179 00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:08.280 frank murphy: short and and and to the point. 180 00:28:08.620 --> 00:28:15.470 frank murphy: and then we'll have a follow up question, you know, if if you don't feel that your answer was complete enough. 181 00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:19.640 frank murphy: you can ask a an additional, and you have an additional 30 s. 182 00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:25.300 frank murphy: So that's sort of the functioning, and that's true for both the committee and the public 183 00:28:26.830 --> 00:28:36.750 frank murphy: there. Of course, there will be no no time limit on the presenters, and they can. They can go on as long as they feel necessary. 184 00:28:37.010 --> 00:28:49.180 frank murphy: and we don't have anybody for the homeless round Table. There were a few suggestions that came in. Pat Raphael had a suggestion. 185 00:28:49.310 --> 00:29:02.410 frank murphy: and we're gonna try to place that in a later meeting, and also Stan had some suggestions. And so we're going to try to take that up at the at a future meeting. 186 00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:13.640 frank murphy: and then we're going to hit the public comment. So the homeless Round Table will be out. Some public comment comes next. We'll have a a minute to 187 00:29:14.830 --> 00:29:16.080 Ansar Muhammad: talk about 188 00:29:16.430 --> 00:29:27.920 frank murphy: In general it's 1 min on non agendize items. So there was, you know, that would be just about is just about anything. And then the committee 189 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:37.830 frank murphy: we'll also be able to comment on 9 agenda items. So that's sort of the structure of the meeting. Let's so let's 190 00:29:39.010 --> 00:29:45.220 Vicki Halliday: get into it. Well, I think one and Ashley should introduce themselves. 191 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:45.910 frank murphy: Yep. 192 00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:47.980 frank murphy: but I Haven't met him. 193 00:29:50.300 --> 00:30:15.640 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Hi, everybody! My name is Bonfrey. Also. I am the homeless and housing coordinator for Council Live in Park. This is now my 8 year with the city of Los Angeles, and I'm. Fairly familiar with the process. I am new to the district, but not new to the city family, and just look forward to to working with all of you, and just getting some feedback and getting to to better than the community. 194 00:30:15.770 --> 00:30:16.770 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Ashley. 195 00:30:20.110 --> 00:30:31.960 Ashley Lozada: Thank you, Juan. Hello, everybody. My name is Ashley Lozada, and I am your Venice Field deputy. I know I've met a couple of you guys on the vendors Neighborhood Council so nice to see you guys again. 196 00:30:32.190 --> 00:30:41.490 Ashley Lozada: and for those of you who don't know me. I do come from Council District 15, where I was there for about 5 years. 197 00:30:42.820 --> 00:30:46.640 Ashley Lozada: And now we're here. So I'm: I'm. Also the Field deputy for Venice. 198 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.560 So it's: Venice, my vista and delay. 199 00:30:51.780 --> 00:30:53.730 Vicki Halliday: But that thank you.

Well. let's let's. 202 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:17.570 frank murphy: You know I have. I had a couple of lines that I wanted to touch base on, but I can bring those up in in questions to the meeting questions 203 00:31:17.830 --> 00:31:28.670 frank murphy: later. so i'll wait until that time. And so, as far as homelessness is concerned. 204 00:31:29.970 --> 00:31:32.520 frank murphy: you know we're trying to. 205 00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:46.850 frank murphy: you know. Deal with it as best we can, and we need to know where you guys are coming from and how we're going to how we're going to proceed into the future. We know what the past is offered us. 206 00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:53.770 frank murphy: and we're really looking forward to what the future has to offer us. and you are that so? 207 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.780 frank murphy: One? Actually, it's yours. 208 00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:33.280 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Hi, everyone. So no sorry I couldn't get off the mute on mute on that front. But just. In short, right now we're looking at expanding as much of the services that we offer here in the district. The councilwoman is very, very focused on making sure that we find additional resources whether that be beds, shelters, expanding our safe parking, obviously permanent, supportive housing 209 00:32:33.280 --> 00:32:52.920 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: kind of all of the above on all fronts. I've done a few site visits. I've been reviewing a lot of the city on landed properties and just going over where we can bring additional resources, and, as we have mentioned a little while ago, just how do we amplify the current resources that we have here in the district? So 210 00:32:53.030 --> 00:33:12.420 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Venice has a high need, and also has additional resources, whether it be through the Abh. There are some additional funding to the Abh shelter that we have here in Venice. You have the Circle program team that is dedicated to Venice as well as 211 00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:28.660 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah. St. Joseph's been doing a lot of great work. So what we're trying to do right now is just kind of analyze the overall need in the district in terms of the service. In terms of how many beds we're gonna work on. How many bids we need, as well as how do we amplify the current services that we have? 212 00:33:28.660 --> 00:33:34.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: And how do we bring more of those services to the district to you know, to make sure that 213 00:33:34.370 --> 00:33:57.970 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: we provide the services that individuals need. Now, with that it's keeping in mind that we are also only just a small part in this bigger puzzle. That is homelessness. We are working closely with our county partners, and they've started making additional asks of them in terms of the mental health services. We're well aware of the need overall within the unhouse community, and just 214 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.280 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: what we are seeing after we have 215 00:34:00.280 --> 00:34:29.219 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: successfully gone through some of our insights safe initiatives on the Mayor's offices that there is a greater. There's still a greater need for mental health services. So we've been working with our county representatives, our county partners, as well as our outreach workers, to see what we can do to bring additional mental health services, and what services are already offered, so that residents, constituents, neighborhood councils, and committees can help the councilwoman as well as our office 216 00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:38.540 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: kind of push on the other end from some of our other community partners on some of these services. So we really just want to 217 00:34:38.540 --> 00:35:01.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: continue building the network that is here, and amplifying it as best we can, and just being very upfront with as much information and communication with our residents as a lot of you have lived in that community for a very long time, and as we've discussed even earlier, Vicki, you know you know a lot of your own house and some of their needs, and some of them are a little bit more 218 00:35:01.970 --> 00:35:22.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: higher. Acuity needs. Some of them are just, hey? They just need to connect with the right person or 2, so we just want to make sure that everyone, both here, whether your house or not, houses and wearable services that are available to you in the district, and what don't we have, so we can go out there and fight for it and bring it to the district as best we can. 219 00:35:22.740 --> 00:35:33.000 That's kind of it in a nutshell, Frank. I don't know if that answers your question or not, but i'll feel free to. I'm sure there'll be a lot of questions that come up with the community. That's kind of 220 00:35:33.010 --> 00:35:44.290 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: It's kind of my in a nutshell pitch. So feel free to ask some questions. I'll do my best to answer everything that I do. Now. Currently, if I don't, I will be up front and say, I need to. You know 221 00:35:44.290 --> 00:35:57.220 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that information down there are a few things that, as I've mentioned, I'm. Still working on getting on specific answers. But I do have a a good understanding of the Channel processes for most of most of the questions you're gonna ask. 222 00:35:58.040 --> 00:36:05.890 Vicki Halliday: That's great, perfect. I want to start public comment. 223 00:36:10.650 --> 00:36:30.320 Brian U: Thank you for that. So i'm just generally here to support one. I mean, if there's any more of the field work questions that pop up, I can help answer. But generally Juan is our homelessness deputy. So anything having to do with the homeless process, i'll do for all the answers to him and all the information. 224 00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:49.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah. But on the ground just to kind of touch a little bit more on with Ashley and her field deputies. They're kind of still your general primary hub. As a community member. She is deputy that is specific to Venice. So on anything. It's always good to reach out and include her, because 225 00:36:49.210 --> 00:37:07.440 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I work very closely with the deputies, because I know how close I work with you, the community. So the the When you ask me a question, or actually between both of us, we'll, we'll work on getting that response back to you as the homelessness and housing coordinator for the dish tech, I oversee all of the district. 226 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:32.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So, having Ashley and the deputies kind of being a part of that with me helps us all be on the same page. So again, if it's related, hey, they miss my trash, hey? Great, thank you, actually is working on it. She'll get to you, hey? You know. Can we get homeless and services between me and Ashley? We'll make sure you have the the information to be able to to disseminate that to to whoever may need it. We we are kind of 2 in one. 227 00:37:32.210 --> 00:37:42.530 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So, just so hopefully. Everyone understands the the difference between our field and the work they do for you in the district, and then kind of how we work together to kind of try and address those issues on the ground. 228 00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:44.870 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. 229 00:37:46.640 --> 00:37:59.290 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. So we'll go to the public. Okay, I see. Let's get those Hands up, folks! Shawn O'brien! Why don't you start us off with a 1 min? Question. 230 00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:11.010 Sean Obrien: Awesome, hey? Thanks. Guys appreciate all the work you done. I'm a supporter of Tracy. Glad to see things are finally turning around, and I thank you 231 00:38:12.560 --> 00:38:15.730 Sean Obrien: with all the recent success that you've had. 232 00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:19.510 Sean Obrien: One thing I have noticed 233 00:38:19.620 --> 00:38:28.050 Sean Obrien: is North and South Venice, between Dell and Pacific. west of the Venice Library. 234 00:38:28.610 --> 00:38:32.790 Sean Obrien: Since about December those encampments have about double. 235 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:38.650 Sean Obrien: and it's it's my understanding is They're coming from other areas that 236 00:38:38.850 --> 00:38:41.610 Sean Obrien: have been addressed and cleaned up a bit. 237 00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:52.090 Sean Obrien: and I just hope that it's on your radar and that you guys are have a plan to address that. We also have a big Rv. Problem on North Venice 238 00:38:52.120 --> 00:38:54.560 Sean Obrien: right up by the 239 00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:57.550 Sean Obrien: library 240 00:38:57.590 --> 00:39:02.470 Sean Obrien: on on North Venice and Venezuela. 241 00:39:02.740 --> 00:39:04.100 Sean Obrien: and then. 242 00:39:04.230 --> 00:39:17.910 Sean Obrien: So i'd like to hear about your plans for this area. Okay, yeah. The Circle team. I always wondered why they called them the Circle team because we're running around in circles. We call the police. 243 00:39:18.900 --> 00:39:19.850 Vicki Halliday: please. 244 00:39:19.970 --> 00:39:26.060 Sean Obrien: Yes, yes. Oh. we need to be able to contact circle directly. Thank you. 245 00:39:26.490 --> 00:39:27.400 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. 246 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:57.890 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So yeah, Shawn. I think on that last point real quick. Yes, the Circle team. That is what we are working on with the circle team. I think prior to this. We were just discussing that with Mickey. The the interface between the public and the circle team needs a lot of improvement that is currently in the works. I've met with them a couple of times. I know Vicki's working with them, so we're trying to figure out what we as an office can do to make sure they have all the tools they need to succeed on the ground, and part of that is the constituent interface 247 00:39:57.940 --> 00:40:25.070 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Dell, and Alberta, and not Alberta, but Alan Bennett in that area is on our radar. A lot of the neighbors have been reaching out to both Ashley and I. We have been scheduling it for service just in a a quick little recap. We are in a backlog for sure overall, with all our homeless encampments throughout the district, and recently there was an internal labor dispute with sanitation which also limited the amount of work 248 00:40:25.070 --> 00:40:32.810 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that could be done without our within our service locations. Venice and Dell was on the schedule. Now 249 00:40:33.530 --> 00:40:45.880 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: tomorrow is now the third time, actually, maybe the fourth time where it was on the schedule the first 2 times early in the month February. They just never got to it. They they weren't able to get to it and service it. 250 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:59.970 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Another day we lost was our vacation day or not vacation day, but our holiday last week, and tomorrow we are hopeful that it will get serviced. It was partially service last Wednesday. 251 00:40:59.980 --> 00:41:22.470 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and it's on the schedule for tomorrow, but if it rains it will be a limited day of service there as well. So we will have to schedule it again. It is on our radar. In short, Shawn and Ashley and I are working on, making sure that we keep it in compliance, and working with some of the neighbors to see what we can do to activate some of the space 252 00:41:22.470 --> 00:41:32.070 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and provide everyone, some some housing opportunities through to some of our various service providers, but it is on our radar. 253 00:41:32.420 --> 00:41:35.280 Sean Obrien: And then, lastly, the Rv. Lastly, the Rvs. 254 00:41:35.520 --> 00:41:49.530 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: That is a much bigger question and issue that the city overall is working on, they we still don't have in place our 85 or 2 municipal code to do some of the vehicle 255 00:41:49.630 --> 00:42:18.660 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: enforcement right now that is still in the Homelessness and Poverty Committee in terms of how we can deal with our these as a city. We are currently exploring an insight, safe pilot for an Rv. Location with the Mayor's office. But right now we are in the process of needing to identify the land, to be able to store it, or what could be offered in New. Of that there's a lot of things that are in works, both internally, for some of the locations here in the district. 256 00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:37.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: as well as the bigger picture that city, and how they're going to address the Rv. Issues not only within our district, but throughout the city, and that legal process is still being worked out in homeless system. Poverty Committee. So we we do have to kind of wait on what we can do long term right now with the with the Rds. 257 00:42:38.050 --> 00:42:45.000 Sean Obrien: Okay, Great. Thank you. Who do I contact the last one you guys had just second Shawn 258 00:42:45.220 --> 00:42:50.740 frank murphy: just for clarity. There was a. There's a 259 00:42:50.810 --> 00:43:02.860 frank murphy: we we give you the 1 min for the initial question, because I had said 30 s previously. I meant to change that to 1 min and then 30 s for the an additional question. 260 00:43:03.220 --> 00:43:05.960 frank murphy: Shawn: Go ahead. I'm: Sorry to interrupt you. 261 00:43:06.010 --> 00:43:07.570 Sean Obrien: Okay, Great. No problem, Frank. 262 00:43:07.610 --> 00:43:25.050 Sean Obrien: So yeah, just real quick on the last clean up that you had on Dell and South Venice. They went into the Venice farmers market parking lot, and they left a bunch of their stuff behind. I contacted Venice bid, and they told me they only clean up the perimeter. 263 00:43:25.050 --> 00:43:30.660 Sean Obrien: Who do I contact about getting the parking lot cleared of discarded refuse. 264 00:43:31.860 --> 00:43:49.580 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: That would be Ashley and I will reach out to the La do t maintenance crews and have them in it. Also we are aware that that sometimes does happen, and as we schedule our our service days, we're being cognizant of making sure that the tones can address both the 265 00:43:50.040 --> 00:44:11.760 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the actual parking lot as well as the right of way as well. That that does take a little bit more coordination that has came up a couple of times that Ashley and I are have noted in and are working with our departments to make sure we don't have that back and forth. Happen where one team comes from the right away, and then there's a mess inside, and then that has to get scheduled again. So we're we're trying to coordinate those resources 266 00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:12.400 as well. 267 00:44:13.310 --> 00:44:39.120 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so that would be us to answer your question. So when that happens, send that to Ashley and myself. And as I mentioned, we'll, if it is just general trash into brand. There's a we have a point of contact where we can have dot schedule our maintenance team for us, as well as an office. We are exploring to see if we can get our own additional kind of cleaning green teams to help us with some kind of just one off projects like this. Where? Hey? There's just 268 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:49.440 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: general trash somewhere. Can you guys help us clean it up? But that's something that's in the works where, hopefully that'll be an additional resource we can offer. We can offer as a Council office down the line. 269 00:44:49.650 --> 00:45:08.410 Ashley Lozada: and and if I may add to that, I just wanted to say, if you do have piles of trash like that, if you can just send them to me, and you know, if you can. and take a picture of the items and the location of what it looks like. That that helps us speed up the the process and getting that picked up. 270 00:45:08.810 --> 00:45:10.010 Sean Obrien: Awesome. Thank you. 271 00:45:11.650 --> 00:45:16.680 Vicki Halliday: Okay, Thank you, Shawn. Helen Fallon. You're up next. Go ahead, please. 272 00:45:19.520 --> 00:45:22.180 Helen Fallon: Yeah, my Good evening. I've got 3 questions. 273 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:37.510 Helen Fallon: The first one is. how will the number of beds in CD 11 be determined that we have to provide. Will this be based on what, by taking an account, what already exist in certain areas of CD. 11, 274 00:45:37.690 --> 00:45:46.750 Helen Fallon: and will we be credited for shelter this all we already being provided in some of those parts of CD. 11. So we don't have to keep bringing up containment zone 275 00:45:47.170 --> 00:45:55.010 Helen Fallon: and number 2. Question is, what locations are being considered for mental health services? Is the city, for instance, looking at St. Vincent's 276 00:45:55.270 --> 00:45:56.780 Helen Fallon: to provide a. You know 277 00:45:57.330 --> 00:46:13.270 Helen Fallon: the really self contained area that you need for people who are so barely, mentally ill and 3 will. When will we start seeing enforcement of the city's bicycle chop shop, or that that doesn't seem to be happening, and those encampments seem to be accumulating bikes. Thank you. 278 00:46:14.540 --> 00:46:17.920 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Hi Helen. So, in terms of the number of beds 279 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:36.840 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Lhasa, and through the through one of the the most recent court settlers there, there is a number that we have to hit. I don't have that exact number right off the top of my head right now, but I know that on our streets for the last count we had roughly 1,200 on house individuals 280 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:42.970 within the district. So there's, I think, a roughly like 6 to 700 account 281 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:57.160 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that I think we have to hit. Let me get confirmation from our team in terms of what that total number is. I know we've been waiting for the update account numbers to come out. But yes, if they will base it off of current beds that we have available. 282 00:46:57.160 --> 00:47:13.200 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and as we explore additional services, that's what that's why, as I mentioned earlier, we're looking to explore additional services in the district which would include events interim housing so that we can get to that number. I I do know that we're not where we'd like to be just yet. 283 00:47:13.450 --> 00:47:17.170 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and that's where we were exploring additional services 284 00:47:17.190 --> 00:47:38.350 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: to bring, so we can hit that bed, count number in terms of mental health services overall i'm targeting the whole district in terms of the need. If we're going to be more specific to Venice right now. I know one of it, Kevin, that we're already overlapping some services like along ocean front walk and around the current abh site 285 00:47:38.350 --> 00:47:56.900 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: our locations that we're looking at that, and that's kind of face of just the the feedback we get from both residents on the ground, as well as some of the outreach teams, and again I'm. Connecting with our circle team to kind of try and overlap some of the calls and feedbacks They're getting in terms of paying 286 00:47:56.900 --> 00:48:10.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: a lot of it Does kinda have happen to be in a general vicinity for, say, for for Venice. But we're definitely open to hearing where the needs are throughout the district, or here in your neighborhood. So let us know if there's 287 00:48:10.510 --> 00:48:15.980 a specific case or individual that you would like us to try and connect with additional services. 288 00:48:16.010 --> 00:48:29.330 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: And then, in terms of, say, Vincent, that is a much bigger conversation that is out of the district, for sure, but I do have some familiar familiarity with it, as I was in CD. 13 289 00:48:29.380 --> 00:48:34.070 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: for the first 7 years of my city life, and 290 00:48:34.110 --> 00:48:53.810 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: they've been since. In short, right now we, the city has looked at trying to utilize that hospital for mental health services, and I think the county even offered to buy it, and as of right now, to my understanding, the owner is, has not been willing to to to put persuade that 291 00:48:53.810 --> 00:49:14.470 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: they did do some stuff during Covid they used a couple of beds and floors for that, but to my understanding, or at least the last update I got, which was probably going into the fall of last year. It's mainly used for Hollywood and filming, and they haven't been open to having a discussion with the city 292 00:49:14.470 --> 00:49:21.430 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: as far as yeah, like I said, October Ish was the last kind of update I had regarding 293 00:49:23.930 --> 00:49:53.930 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: no one. Did you have a follow up? Yeah. Well, I didn't get an answer to the chat, bicycle, chop shop or Yes, sorry on that one. Let me talk to our our La Pd. Teams. I'm not aware of them that, being able to enforce some of that, so we can reach out to our Lapd team and our neighborhood prosecutor, just to kind of get an update on on where they are, in terms of where they are, with enforcement on that. If there's a specific site or location that is an issue, please send that over to me and ask 294 00:49:53.930 --> 00:50:01.580 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: actually. And we we can work on trying to get some follow up on that. I i'm not aware of them not not enforcing it. 295 00:50:02.170 --> 00:50:06.710 Helen Fallon: and then I guess my follow-up question is just going back to your answer about the number of bed counts 296 00:50:06.820 --> 00:50:16.230 Helen Fallon: so when you're looking at that. Will you be looking at parts of CD. 11 that don't have the same that the excessive amount of housing and shelter that we actually have here in Venice. 297 00:50:16.780 --> 00:50:21.290 frank murphy: so that it's spread out more throughout CD. 11, because there's some parts of it. 298 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.450 Helen Fallon: It impact as much by this. 299 00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:49.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So overall my role in the Council Ones office is to advise her on all the resources that we have available, and I'm. Exploring every resource that is available, whether it be on the northern part of the district down in the West La Division area, or down here south. The district, i'm. Exploring everything. We don't have enough land all around in general. 300 00:50:49.570 --> 00:51:07.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and there is a great. There is a great need not only here in the district, but throughout the city, so as of right. Now. Everything that is available is an option for us to consider, although nothing has been formally introduced anywhere but in the last month or so that I've been here. 301 00:51:07.830 --> 00:51:09.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Everything is an option. 302 00:51:09.830 --> 00:51:39.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So i'm not aware of anything in Venice to kind of hopefully try to address some of your your questions in terms of additional. That's coming right now. But I am exploring every part of the district that is available to us, and if you know of any land, please please send it my way, and we will talk to our teams and see if it's feasible. And again, this is empty land, private land. Maybe a church has some land. We are looking to see what we can do in terms of products. 303 00:51:39.740 --> 00:51:57.120 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: properties that are already kind of in construction. If they're willing to be amenable to the you know transition into Psh or something. So again, everything is on the table right now, and the Council woman's goal is to make sure that you know CD. 11 does. Its part to address it's homeless 304 00:51:57.120 --> 00:52:02.080 issue here, not only in the district, but, as you all know, we are in a crisis citywide. 305 00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:03.980 Thank you. 306 00:52:05.530 --> 00:52:09.150 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. One Nick. Go ahead, please. 307 00:52:12.810 --> 00:52:17.850 Nick Antonicello: Yeah. My first. My first comment is what percentage 308 00:52:18.150 --> 00:52:21.910 Nick Antonicello: of the homeless situation CD: 11 is in Venice. 309 00:52:22.470 --> 00:52:25.350 Nick Antonicello: my understanding is with 50 that 310 00:52:25.390 --> 00:52:35.940 Nick Antonicello: true or not true? Secondly, are you building a homeless directory? In other words, if you go to these encampments and do outreach. Are you getting people's, names. 311 00:52:36.090 --> 00:52:38.950 Nick Antonicello: background, health status? 312 00:52:39.050 --> 00:52:50.710 Nick Antonicello: Are you compiling a a list of of data that can be used to help these people? Someone who you may put into housing, and then they fall out of housing someone who may be drug addicted, or 313 00:52:50.730 --> 00:53:01.200 Nick Antonicello: as an alcoholic issue. Are you building profiles for those that are on the street. And, thirdly, is there anyone on the staff that loses that? But 314 00:53:02.720 --> 00:53:06.430 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so the last question. The Council woman is in Venice. 315 00:53:06.470 --> 00:53:09.020 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and we do have 316 00:53:09.220 --> 00:53:28.430 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: some constituent, not some some staffers that used to be constituents in Venice. But yes, that's your last question in terms of the homeless directory. So the outreach and the direct outreach is done through Lhasa and the county, along with the city, to a certain extent. But it all it is done through Lhasa and 317 00:53:28.430 --> 00:53:54.960 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: our outreach service providers, which here is Saint Joseph. and they all use the Hms. Or the coordinated entry system where the engagement happens, and it all goes into a system that is coordinated with all the service providers. And there is a profile. So we, as a Council office, do not have access to that. So we do get some basic, more qualitative quantitative data. 318 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:14.090 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: not so much information on medical history or anything like that. We just get some basic information on that front. We, as a Council office, are not shared on that. As I've mentioned, we are one piece of a bigger puzzle. When it comes to homelessness and homelessness services 319 00:54:14.090 --> 00:54:25.420 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and the direct outreach and communication, and on the ground engagement is primarily led by our professional service providers and the Los Angeles homeless 320 00:54:25.570 --> 00:54:38.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: housing authority. Obviously, if an in has an individual or neighbor wants to come, talk to us, you know me or Ashley, and has questions we will, we can direct them to our service providers and our loss of contacts. 321 00:54:38.910 --> 00:54:46.400 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: They would be the primary entity that would work with them on a more person person basis on that front. 322 00:54:47.370 --> 00:54:54.270 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: And your first question. I think I missed it, Nick, but I think it was more of a comment. Can you just rephrase it. I edited here the the first one. 323 00:54:54.300 --> 00:55:01.710 Nick Antonicello: So my my comment was that the understanding is that 50% of the homeless I've been living living 324 00:55:03.050 --> 00:55:19.460 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so on that I don't have that hard number off the top of my head. That's a good number, but it's my general understanding that there is a higher concentration of of Man House and the general Venice area. But I don't have that off the top of my head. That's one of those numbers. I'd have to go back and and look 325 00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:20.770 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: look up. 326 00:55:24.650 --> 00:55:25.340 Vicki Halliday: He 327 00:55:25.700 --> 00:55:27.130 Vicki Halliday: you done that. 328 00:55:28.130 --> 00:55:35.270 Nick Antonicello: But my only other comment would be is coordinating data. We heard a lot during the campaign of 329 00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:46.400 Nick Antonicello: of creating good information, so you can get good results. and it just seems that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is going to be at Washington City, the county. and I hope that 330 00:55:46.420 --> 00:55:52.590 Nick Antonicello: as you get into this deeper into the weeds that you, you, if you look for a one 331 00:55:52.660 --> 00:55:57.750 Nick Antonicello: reliable system that can help these people. And then you have an exact count 332 00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.410 Nick Antonicello: who's out there and what their needs are right. 333 00:56:01.270 --> 00:56:26.630 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, Nick, and that is actually already in the work. So through our inside safe initiatives with the Mayor's team, the meetings and coordination is most more intense, and there is a greater work on the back end right now between the Mayor's office and Lhasa, who kind of oversee most of the the bands and the mainframe of terms of for the city, how the homelessness, services work. 334 00:56:26.630 --> 00:56:55.020 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and that is being worked out as we speak. I, Frank, you had mentioned earlier kind of what the follow up, and numbers are for a lot of our insights safe. We don't have we? As a Council office? Don't have those hard numbers just yet, because right now the Mayor's team and Lhasa are figuring out how to get their computers to talk to each other, almost as you were saying right now on the right hand. Haven't always been talking, and the Council woman, I think, just recently introduced, or we're discussing in traditional emotion that 335 00:56:55.020 --> 00:57:06.880 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: would help us address more of those questions in terms of in terms of the the data that we, as a city, get in return for the services that are rendered by loss of the city. 336 00:57:07.380 --> 00:57:12.600 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But yes, that that is what is being worked on currently right now. Nick is a better communication of our systems. 337 00:57:23.450 --> 00:57:30.190 Brennan Lindner: Well, Nick kind of just took my thunder, you know, on the question right there. But I I want to. 338 00:57:31.180 --> 00:57:48.800 Brennan Lindner: and i'm not sure the best way to question on it. But the one thing that when we were doing friends of Venice Board was, and getting that encampments, you know. Really, i'd say quantified out there is that we started doing counts all throughout Venice, and notice a huge disparity between Lhasa and even the Rand report on there. 339 00:57:49.110 --> 00:57:58.410 Brennan Lindner: and I don't know this committee, or if it needs to be done in district, why but to have a weekly tracking report, so that we can hold lots to account. 340 00:57:59.010 --> 00:58:12.490 Brennan Lindner: and and I say, to an account not to make wrong, but we have to have some understanding of what we're dealing with. and then we can have progressive steps, knowing that we're getting towards, you know not necessarily fixing the problem, but getting it managed. 341 00:58:14.180 --> 00:58:20.020 Brennan Lindner: And so I don't. I don't know if there's you know whether it's a ground force that can be created or not. So that's just. 342 00:58:20.080 --> 00:58:30.860 Brennan Lindner: I guess, somewhat one question. And that goes to that. What percentages in Venice and CD. 11 and number 2 is, I think, to follow up. You don't have to answer the first point, but just I guess a comment. 343 00:58:31.080 --> 00:58:35.450 Brennan Lindner: and then the next is i'm over in the President's Row area, and we're 344 00:58:35.610 --> 00:58:43.890 Brennan Lindner: becoming now a containment zone within Venice just within. You know we've got the hotel being used. We've got path. We've got spy 345 00:58:44.070 --> 00:58:50.710 Brennan Lindner: all in one area. And how do we make sure that this does get equally shared throughout Venice as well as CD. 11. 346 00:58:52.420 --> 00:59:03.550 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So in terms of throughout Venice. Again, if there's spaces, I we should be lucky. Let me know. We will be more than happy to explore them, and, as I mentioned, there are 347 00:59:03.550 --> 00:59:12.930 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: areas and a property throughout the district that we are looking at the Council. Woman is well aware that Venice has definitely put its 348 00:59:12.930 --> 00:59:26.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: put its chips in in terms of the services that are offered within the within the area. So we definitely are exploring every inch of the district beyond Venice as well. So, in terms of the ground force on that front, I think 349 00:59:26.740 --> 00:59:39.700 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: to kind of how that that that information is coming through. That is kind of what the mayor that's what we're working on through. This insights a lot of the things you're talking about in terms of those numbers. 350 00:59:39.860 --> 01:00:18.140 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We are kind of using our in the inside safe. It's kind of all for that, in terms of more precise, with with some of these locations so that they can start building that kind of framework templates for these bigger projects that we use, or throughout the system that that is currently being worked out. I think the Mayor's team, and even us as we're having these conversations, we hear these concerns on the ground, and that is one of the things that i'll give a lot of credit to to the Mayor's team right now that beyond just the things that you know, people see where we're taking pictures, and These are great success stories. There's a lot of work that we're 351 01:00:18.140 --> 01:00:25.170 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: working on with them on the back end to address these real concerns and kind of holes that we've seen in the system. So 352 01:00:25.520 --> 01:00:34.840 Brennan Lindner: no, no, I yeah, I think the yeah, no. I think that works great. And you know, in a sense that we're seeing results and sorry, and i'll cut it short. I'm just saying, don't trust everyone yet. 353 01:00:35.550 --> 01:01:01.400 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Oh, no, no, no, that for sure. You're right on that Brennan and I, I really hope and will lean on the the residents as a lot of you have reached out to us in terms of keeping helping us keep everybody on on that front, because we do have our ocean for a walk team that provides some feedback numbers. I do cross-reference those with kind of what the general feedback is from Lhasa and their outreach teams 354 01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:19.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and the neighbors. A lot of you in the area have told us in terms of what you see, and and some of the counts you guys have. So Yes, and the goal, the Councilwoman and and our goal is to make sure that we hold them accountable to some of these. And we're we're not gonna fall asleep at the wheel. Not not this early in again. 355 01:01:21.490 --> 01:01:22.650 frank murphy: Thanks for that. 356 01:01:22.990 --> 01:01:27.420 Vicki Halliday: Thanks, Brian, Gabriel Smith! Go ahead, please. 357 01:01:31.260 --> 01:01:37.520 Gabriel Smith: Hi, everybody. My name is Gabriel. I'm. Currently on the ballot to be the next chair of the Land Use Planning committee. 358 01:01:37.570 --> 01:01:40.490 Gabriel Smith: Just have a few quick questions, and 359 01:01:40.550 --> 01:01:55.990 Gabriel Smith: I understand that we've had a volunteer count recently for the homeless in the Nc. District. I was wondering what that count came to. If that was the 1,200 figure that was that one had mentioned earlier also 360 01:01:56.190 --> 01:02:00.230 Gabriel Smith: one. Did you mention that the 1,200 figure was from a bed. Count. 361 01:02:01.530 --> 01:02:06.880 Gabriel Smith: Just a question about that. No another question about the Rv. 362 01:02:09.380 --> 01:02:22.050 Gabriel Smith: Land use. I just wanted to see if there were site locations on whether where Los Angeles was intending to place these these Rv. Sites, and how many Rvs we intended to fit. 363 01:02:22.460 --> 01:02:35.590 Gabriel Smith: And third, I wondered also when doing homeless outreach. Are we finding and determining what percentage of homeless our California residents, or out of State residents or beyond? 364 01:02:35.590 --> 01:02:46.730 Gabriel Smith: I just wanted to find out, and whether we would considered sending a bill to respective States for the homeless services that we are providing in California. That's all. Thank you. 365 01:02:48.940 --> 01:02:59.680 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Alright, there's a few things there in terms of the recent count that just happened. Those numbers are not yet. I think those lasso will release those in April Ish. 366 01:02:59.730 --> 01:03:07.440 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: but we don't have those most recent numbers. The one I reference to earlier that's roughly 1,200 367 01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:34.890 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: number was from the last count, and these numbers are posted on losses, losses, website. I was actually reading it the other day, but i'll pull it up. It can give you a more exact figure, but I think it was roughly 1,200 unhoused, unsheltered, or are in the CD. 11, and that's where I got that number. When I mentioned the beds. There's a certain percentage that we need to to meet. Given the the numbers that are on the account. 368 01:03:34.890 --> 01:03:56.260 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and the number I had referenced earlier was just kind of a guesstimate, generally speaking. But that was a number. I said I would. I would go back to and find to get to make sure I can provide a more accurate number of kind of what our bed count needs to be relative to the lost account numbers in terms of how many Rvs and where we're exploring different 369 01:03:56.260 --> 01:04:10.130 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: properties again throughout the district here, and I know there are some properties just outside of our district that the city is considering as well as up in the valley. There's some property out in that area. 370 01:04:10.140 --> 01:04:14.780 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: The number of Rvs, I think, is going to vary by site. 371 01:04:14.830 --> 01:04:30.410 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We are starting to try and get a on that losses website they have. They are starting to track vehicle dwellings and oversized vehicles so that we can get a better idea of what's needed overall as we start trying to address the Rvs. 372 01:04:30.620 --> 01:04:41.350 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Kind of like right now by owners. Probably the one that's the most would be one that everyone what might should know is one of the locations that we're looking to try and get our insights safe 373 01:04:41.350 --> 01:05:10.860 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: pilot going on there. There's a count and everything to make sure that we know exactly how many spaces we're going to need through the outreach who needs parking, who needs to store it, who is willing to release it. Those are all numbers and things that we will work on as we go through some of these sites, but every site in terms of the bigger ones are going to be determined by what's available. Some of it is also the zoning where you're going to have to be able to store that. 374 01:05:10.860 --> 01:05:23.690 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So the goal is to for us to find. Len. That's big enough to cover the needs of the district. But you know that may not be feasible, because we may not have that much land nearby that we could utilize. But 375 01:05:23.720 --> 01:05:31.790 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: no, it's. It's still going to be something where we have to to look into in terms of the out of state. I know that 376 01:05:32.290 --> 01:05:33.390 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: lost it 377 01:05:33.660 --> 01:05:53.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: tracks it. Sometimes it's not a question they ask, let me confirm, but it's not. But it's my understanding that they do have a lot of out of state. We do have a lot of out of State individuals that are unhoused here on the eleventh and in the Venice area. 378 01:05:53.530 --> 01:05:57.930 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: trying to go after. Some of these States can get tricky 379 01:05:57.930 --> 01:06:25.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: in that sense. But i'll have to go back to our legislative team and find out what kind of recourse we as a Council office can take or introduce kind of as a city to see about to get some of those reimbursement dollars back right now. I think our goal is, if you're on housing the district. They need services regardless of how you got there. We want to try and make sure we offer you the services and give you an opportunity to get under a roof. 380 01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:40.840 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: but you know, going after states and things. It's a whole. It's this whole other monster that I don't know how it would work technically, and we really want to just focus right now on those that are currently on housed within the district, regardless of how they got there. 381 01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:45.520 Vicki Halliday: Do you have a follow up Yay. 382 01:06:50.970 --> 01:06:55.010 Vicki Halliday: Okay, next person, Jeff. 383 01:06:55.070 --> 01:06:55.890 Vicki Halliday: As 384 01:06:58.340 --> 01:07:05.930 Jeff S: Hi. Thank you. I wanted to go back to the encampment on North and South Dennis Boulevard around the parking lot. 385 01:07:05.990 --> 01:07:15.170 Jeff S: I guess you know, as we know it's in the middle of a residential area. It's adjacent to the Ventness canals, historic historic district. 386 01:07:15.240 --> 01:07:28.290 Jeff S: It's a beach parking lot frequented by Torres. It's right. Next to the Venice Farmers Market, one you mentioned getting the lot or the area in compliance, and I was hoping you could explain what that means. 387 01:07:28.290 --> 01:07:39.130 Jeff S: And then what are your views of long-term solutions? I know that the library park and adjacent area is still fenced off. 388 01:07:39.200 --> 01:07:41.450 Jeff S: You know what 389 01:07:41.700 --> 01:07:45.540 Jeff S: What can you do long term? Thank you. 390 01:07:46.420 --> 01:08:04.390 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So in terms of long term, I mean, we can work with the residents. See what activations we can do around it. But we do have to. We do have to go through our legal process, which is our care, plus teams and schedule it for service 391 01:08:04.390 --> 01:08:20.550 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: we have looked at. I think this the lot because of the canals, and because of the one of the the nearby parts that we just introduced under 41, 18. I think it will be covered in terms of one of the the sites 392 01:08:20.640 --> 01:08:39.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that we can utilize 41 1,800, and let me confirm and make sure that it falls within that parameter in terms of the the the 500 feet radius, or on the sensitive use sites, but when to get it in compliance is just at the very least making sure. There's ada accessibility, there's ingress and egress 393 01:08:39.210 --> 01:08:54.010 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: of the driveways and no access trash and debris on that front. We can't force anyone to to leave at any one time unless it's scheduled to a care plus day, with which is a full service day. 394 01:08:54.010 --> 01:09:05.779 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But the goal is to try and get everybody to to go indoors into services. All the inside safe sites so far have have barely been voluntary compliance, and we want to continue 395 01:09:05.779 --> 01:09:23.560 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: with that model where it's a services led approach, and we will clean the locations, and we will continue to service them. But ultimately getting overall compliance will be. We have enough beds to be able to to get everybody indoors into a bed or under a roof. 396 01:09:23.560 --> 01:09:32.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so that you know we don't have to be dealing with every day kind of scheduling to the clean up, and some of those service days. 397 01:09:32.420 --> 01:09:45.410 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I know it's it's not gonna be fixed overnight. It's not gonna be fixed, you know, by the end of the month, but it is a priority location for for Ashley in terms of the locations that she requests for services. 398 01:09:45.410 --> 01:09:59.130 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: because we know that it is in a residential neighborhood, so that the limited resources we currently have. Ashley is working to make sure that we keep it on a more regular schedule, so that it doesn't get 399 01:09:59.130 --> 01:10:24.620 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: to the point where again you can't walk on the sidewalks or things like that. We we have seen that it. It sometimes was overflowing because we haven't been able to service it as frequently as we'd like to. So overall compliance would be just making sure. Again, having ada access. There is an access traction to bring in the area. And again, the ingress and egress is accessible to to vehicles, because there is a certain amount of 400 01:10:24.670 --> 01:10:28.390 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: clearance that we need to have for everybody's safety. 401 01:10:28.390 --> 01:10:47.950 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So those are all the different compliance kind of mechanisms, or or kind of phases that we have on that front. If there is a long term kind of what can we do to identify it? Or I think you mentioned there was a sense where that's a much greater conversation with the community. I don't know 402 01:10:47.980 --> 01:11:04.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: if that's something the neighbors and everyone would want to explore. But in terms of you know, options that we could explore for activating it and doing something there. That's a conversation you could, you know, have with Ashley and the neighbors to kind of see what options we could explore on that front. 403 01:11:06.110 --> 01:11:13.360 Jeff S: Thanks. Yeah. I guess I was just mentioning the fence that's still around the library, but I guess just 404 01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:16.700 Jeff S: the follow up question being. 405 01:11:16.780 --> 01:11:20.850 Jeff S: I mean, I think the cleanings are very helpful, and they're certainly positive. 406 01:11:21.150 --> 01:11:38.160 Jeff S: Is there coordination going on with other services at the same time? I know, like having observed the cleanings. The police certainly, you know, escort the sanitation workers whether there's any sort of other police activity you wouldn't see any. 407 01:11:38.160 --> 01:11:47.420 Jeff S: And so I mean it's not surprising that sanitation workers would be upset with the support, for they're getting because they're having to do much of the hard work without much support. 408 01:11:48.090 --> 01:11:49.400 frank murphy: Thanks. So 409 01:11:49.520 --> 01:12:19.410 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so in terms of the process, the day of sanitation's job is to be the ones to address all the property and and go through that there is a legal process. They need to go through a la Pde's role in this, As I mentioned, anger piece is mainly just to make sure that the sanitation workers are safe and as well as if there is once the area is post off, that it's that no one is in there. So if someone has to be exported out of the area, whether it be housed on house, or or even as a staff. We have to go 410 01:12:19.410 --> 01:12:28.630 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the out of now, so that sanitation can process, that that is Lapd's role in that when it comes to in terms of 411 01:12:28.660 --> 01:12:42.060 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: getting more of the coordinated resources. Yes, that that does happen every time it's scheduled. Lhasa and the outreach teams have to sign up that they've engaged the individuals, or else sanitation cannot post it for for a cleanup. 412 01:12:42.090 --> 01:12:51.040 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Also, a lot of our senior lead officers tend to be at these locations, especially Venice and Dell, and they do help us make referrals. 413 01:12:51.040 --> 01:13:10.720 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and this location is part of the the sites that I've asked our circle team to focus on for additional outreach and engagement, because they do have access to the Hmi system as well, and can make referrals where they can engage people at night sometimes as well. So so, yes, to. In short. 414 01:13:10.820 --> 01:13:14.200 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the resources and outreach is coordinated. 415 01:13:14.200 --> 01:13:34.310 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: even though sometimes they may not always be onsite. The day of a cleanup. Lhasa has to sign up that they have been out there, engaging in individuals offering services as well as informing them that on X day you know the the service teams are going to come out here, and they're going to clean this whole area up, so be ready. 416 01:13:35.820 --> 01:13:39.610 Vicki Halliday: Thank you. Thank you, Jeff Lisa Redmond. Go ahead, please. 417 01:13:43.790 --> 01:13:45.210 Lisa Redmond: Yeah. 418 01:13:46.660 --> 01:13:54.300 Lisa Redmond: So people still listening, the ran report as the latest in up to date numbers, instead of having to wait till June 419 01:13:54.820 --> 01:13:57.740 Lisa Redmond: for the loss of numbers. Anyway. 420 01:13:57.910 --> 01:14:11.150 Lisa Redmond: I have a couple of questions. Everyone else is asking multiple questions. The first is, I'm. Just curious how much you're following up with your constituents from Venice who have been placed inside safe? 421 01:14:11.250 --> 01:14:20.890 Lisa Redmond: Are you going to the hotels and following up the numbers as what services they're getting? Are they going into permanent housing? Because. 422 01:14:20.930 --> 01:14:23.790 Lisa Redmond: honestly, I've been following up with the people. 423 01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:35.050 Lisa Redmond: and they've gone into some real shit holes, places with broken windows, broken doors, places where there's no linens or blankets or pelos. 424 01:14:35.050 --> 01:14:44.390 Lisa Redmond: They are not getting fed. They're not getting the mental health services that the Newsletter said they were getting. They are not 425 01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:48.010 Lisa Redmond: getting case manager services. 426 01:14:48.110 --> 01:14:52.500 Lisa Redmond: and in many ways it seems you pointed out that it's a 427 01:14:53.980 --> 01:15:05.840 Lisa Redmond: the voluntary acceptance to services. But when people need to wrap that up, excuse me, Frank, everyone else got to go on and on. Thank you. Nobody's gone over a minute. 428 01:15:05.850 --> 01:15:07.650 frank murphy: Lisa, please. 429 01:15:07.720 --> 01:15:24.120 Lisa Redmond: So there's that. And then i'm also curious to know why Tracy Park rejected the 2.2 million dollars that the City Council voted to do an encampment to home process in the Bona Creek Wetlands 430 01:15:24.130 --> 01:15:27.430 Lisa Redmond: City Council. 431 01:15:27.590 --> 01:15:29.190 frank murphy: A couple of questions. 432 01:15:29.320 --> 01:15:30.240 Lisa Redmond: Thank you. 433 01:15:31.370 --> 01:16:01.030 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So yeah, in terms of the follow up, please. As I've mentioned, we all play a role in this, and right now Lots and the Mayor's office do provide our working on providing those report back to us, and we have some general feedback numbers, but we don't have them all just yet. Again, we are a piece of the puzzle. We do ask for updates in terms of as much information as they can share with us. We do ask for it, and we do. We have asked, what other resources could we help 434 01:16:01.030 --> 01:16:15.350 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: this program with? If you are? We've heard of some of these issues, and as soon as we hear of them. We report them up to Lasa and the mayor's team, and they have been addressed again. Some of these issues with the linens and 435 01:16:15.470 --> 01:16:23.270 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: outreach markers. Let us know. I mean you. I've send an email to me and actually and say, hey, so and so at this location 436 01:16:23.270 --> 01:16:52.290 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: this is what's happening as some of your other neighbors have, and we've pretty much worked to address it right away, or at least get you a response. The individual with the linen. Yes, when they initially have got in the room, they didn't have it. They made the call. They were able to get the line in, deliver it to them in terms of the wraparound case workers. That is something we are pushing on as well, because Lhasa has told us that they are ready, and we'll take them in, and they will be providing those outreach services. So if you are aware of any individual that 437 01:16:52.350 --> 01:17:10.050 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: has not been getting those services or is waiting for for a report back. We do have a direct contact to figure out what is going on. So if you have that information, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with me, and actually so that we can push it up. There have been a few incidents that, as I've mentioned, that you mentioned have have came up 438 01:17:10.050 --> 01:17:27.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: as soon as we hear about it. We know who to call to make sure that it's being addressed, and Lhasa is telling us that they are working on it, and or giving us the explanation as to what happened in terms of the 2.2 million dollars. Let me find out what is going on with that, and just to provide some more feedback. 439 01:17:27.950 --> 01:17:32.770 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I'm not as familiar with that, so i'll have to. I'll have to figure out what's 440 01:17:32.770 --> 01:18:01.850 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: what's going on with that? I'm not as familiar with that 2.2 million dollars off the top of my head. If you can reach out to Ashley and I. We can definitely find out what's going on with that. But we are working closely with with the Wetlands and the Conservancy on both the homelessness issue there, and services, as well as on the restoration plan of the Wetlands and the overall kind of 441 01:18:02.040 --> 01:18:16.270 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: working and planning of that is our best point of contact who is not in this meeting. So if you'd like to have a further discussion on that feel free to reach out to Shawn and I, and we can definitely figure out what's going on with what happened with that money. 442 01:18:18.110 --> 01:18:36.480 Lisa Redmond: Yeah, specifically, it's Council filed 20 to 1,326. It was introduced in early November. The council passed it, and then in January Tracy sent it back to committee, and this was money that was passed that would have allowed even for buy backs of the Rvs 443 01:18:36.480 --> 01:18:41.610 Lisa Redmond: and basically done in an encampment to home which is now people are calling inside safe. 444 01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:47.290 Lisa Redmond: but it would have been full detailed and wrapped around services, and again it 445 01:18:47.370 --> 01:18:50.050 Lisa Redmond: including buybacks, and that's just 446 01:18:50.260 --> 01:18:57.470 Lisa Redmond: for the crisis that's happening there, and somebody died there last week in a fire necessary. Thank you. 447 01:18:57.810 --> 01:19:26.320 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So yeah, Lisa again. It sounds like you're very passionate about this. Please send us an email with the specific Information Council file so that we can address that specifically. There's a lot of things to unwrap there, and there's a lot of us that work on various issues that you mentioned. So please reach out to us. Send us the email with that information. So that again my colleague, Shawn, our legislative team, and everyone can help further explain those questions. But we do need to reach out to us. 448 01:19:27.130 --> 01:19:27.920 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Thank you. 449 01:19:29.960 --> 01:19:32.220 Vicki Halliday: Cj: Go ahead, please. 450 01:19:34.250 --> 01:19:40.060 CJ Cole: Okay. No, i'm kind of near the end here, just kind of summing up. 451 01:19:40.330 --> 01:19:58.900 CJ Cole: First of all, you indicated that there is a number somewhere out there that is going to be the bed, count that's needed to come up with. In fact, going forward. I think we need that as soon as possible. I think we need to hold to that. 452 01:19:58.900 --> 01:20:11.660 CJ Cole: It'll be another Jones case if we're not careful, or they just keep saying, we need more and more. Okay, so that's just a statement on that, but a request. To be sure, we get that actual number. 453 01:20:11.670 --> 01:20:29.420 CJ Cole: I also. There was a request to know what the percentage of homeless was in Venice versus the rest of CD. 11 again. Another thing that i'd like to see us follow through on and just another thing is a suggestion. 454 01:20:29.420 --> 01:20:36.700 CJ Cole: and I know we keep bringing it up. We have someone on our our neighborhood council that continually brings it up. 455 01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:56.340 CJ Cole: All of the vacant land around the airport. Something has got to be available, and I don't care if they hear a little bit of noise. They hear a little bit of noise. It's not my problem. It's better than not in the roof over your head. And why? For some reason that land is not being 456 01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:59.130 CJ Cole: I don't know, but that's it. Thanks 457 01:21:00.210 --> 01:21:06.730 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so. Yes, ej. I don't have that number off the top of my head right now. I do know that our office has it 458 01:21:06.940 --> 01:21:16.140 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: in terms of our bed, Count number. So let me let me get that for you. That shouldn't be a problem to track down in terms of the Venice numbers. 459 01:21:16.140 --> 01:21:29.670 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: There is a way, I think, through data, through losses to lots of numbers, and i'm on their website right now to try and narrow that down to my neighborhood to to find that the percentage. 460 01:21:29.670 --> 01:21:36.850 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So yeah, it shouldn't be impossible for us to track that number down in terms of while we in the airport, as I mentioned. 461 01:21:36.850 --> 01:22:04.510 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: This is something that the Councilwoman has been pushing on internally as well as I mentioned earlier. We are using some of that for a safe parking. I am pushing a little more to see if we can get it for additional services, because yes, they do the most land in the the most unused land in the general vicinity here. So I I don't personally disagree with you that lava could probably be doing a little more in 462 01:22:04.510 --> 01:22:21.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and helping us address this crisis, and we are doing everything we legally can right now to see. We're seeing what we legally found you to try and exert some of those resources, so we could bring some of these resources online, some of that, some of that land. 463 01:22:21.450 --> 01:22:33.540 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: It could be usable, personally, I think, for it. But again, I there's a bigger conversation that needs to be had with our planning teams and the the the lax team. 464 01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:52.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so that can happen. But they are. They are starting to happen. We have started some outreach to that, and we do have a general kind of list of properties that we would like to consider. Should the airport be a minimal on working with us to provide something beyond. Just say parking. 465 01:22:54.120 --> 01:23:00.580 CJ Cole: I want to thank you for spending this time with us. It's been very enlightening. Thank you. 466 01:23:01.180 --> 01:23:05.320 Vicki Halliday: Thanks to J. Robert. You're up next. 467 01:23:13.190 --> 01:23:14.030 Robert Spich: Hello. 468 01:23:14.490 --> 01:23:15.550 Vicki Halliday: We hear you. 469 01:23:16.050 --> 01:23:17.140 Robert Spich: You can hear. 470 01:23:17.150 --> 01:23:31.540 Robert Spich: Yeah, okay, Thank you. I have a hypothetical question I'm interested in quickly. First of all, I don't know the number of people from out of state that are represent part of this Rv. World there. But i'm kind of curious 471 01:23:31.540 --> 01:23:44.680 Robert Spich: if we take a hypothetical question quickly. A guy named Bill and his wife, Bill loses his job in Illinois. He buys his brother-in-law's, Rv. And he comes out to California, where he's going to make it. 472 01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:57.930 Robert Spich: Okay, what incentives what disincentive systems do we have at all in California to tell people that the chances that you're going to end up homeless is 100%. 473 01:23:57.930 --> 01:24:05.610 Robert Spich: What kind of disincentives can we use here? Otherwise, we're just going to be band dating 474 01:24:06.070 --> 01:24:08.940 Robert Spich: as i'm, listening to this whole thing go. 475 01:24:09.100 --> 01:24:25.060 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Okay. that's an interesting hypothetical for sure on that front. I don't know if we want to dis dis incentivize anyone from coming out here on that front. But we do want to make sure that individuals are aware of the 476 01:24:25.170 --> 01:24:40.320 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I would say in your hypothetical scenario, we would want to make sure that individuals are aware of just. You know how hard it is to live if you're not. If you already don't have a plan. So to make sure that your plan D is very solid in case you don't make it. 477 01:24:40.330 --> 01:24:53.230 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But yeah, I mean, I I don't know how much into a hypothetical scenario I want. I I want to get into, maybe, who maybe offline. We can discuss hypotheticals if you'd like on that front. But 478 01:24:53.660 --> 01:25:00.810 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: yeah, I I I don't know how i'm gonna. I don't want to go too much into a hypothetical, because I can take me down a crazy Radical. 479 01:25:02.230 --> 01:25:03.660 Vicki Halliday: Any. Follow up, Robert. 480 01:25:03.690 --> 01:25:13.460 Robert Spich: Anyway. One I appreciate the really tough world you're dealing with right now. This is an absolutely amazing messy 481 01:25:13.490 --> 01:25:29.260 Robert Spich: issue that we're facing nationally. It's not just local. And I I'm. I would simply say, you're doing a great job with a really difficult problem that we're probably not going to solve. But you know you'll keep us above water. That'd be all we can do. 482 01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:41.380 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Thanks, Robert, and really, honestly, it's it's just you guys and neighbors. You're all here with us. You know you're making it possible. It's You're asking good questions, and 483 01:25:41.380 --> 01:26:01.670 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: at the end of the day for us I live what I do in terms of just working as a public servant, and the hardest part of our job is setting the expectation. And hopefully i'm. I can do that for you all, as I I think some of you have been in a meeting before, where you know, feel free to reach out to us. Let us know 484 01:26:01.670 --> 01:26:15.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: we're working on it, you know, and just thank you all for for just the engagement, because it does make our jobs easier, knowing what is going on and having constructive, whether it be criticism or support, or just constructive feedback. 485 01:26:15.830 --> 01:26:44.680 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We do wanna learn from it, and we want to make sure that everyone is aware of of of the processes of the city, and it's not easy. You know the the processes are tough. Our job is to try and walk you all through that process and know that you know we have a great leader in the Council woman who really knows the district, and a lot of your concerns and everything we're hearing are things that I know. She's currently working on trying to address. So 486 01:26:44.680 --> 01:26:55.110 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: we thank you all for your participation and pain here on, you know, on a Tuesday night, talking homelessness in in Venice most people 487 01:26:55.160 --> 01:27:08.150 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: are living their lives doing what they have to do, and all of you are here because we we know you care, and that does make it easier for me and Ashley to to stick around and talk to everyone and have this. These constructive conversations all around 488 01:27:08.430 --> 01:27:09.120 it's great. 489 01:27:09.480 --> 01:27:18.120 Vicki Halliday: We've got 3 more Audience: commenters, questioners, Noreen, Maggie and Michael Noreen. Why don't you go ahead, please. 490 01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:36.080 Noreen Ahmed: Yeah, I just wanted to. I just have a comment for a lot of the comments that have just been said, and it's really expressing there's a lot that's being asked about data. And some of the most important data which is mentioned earlier is really just 491 01:27:36.320 --> 01:27:43.660 Noreen Ahmed: asking questions about the conditions that people are in, and and the people who are going to different places, if 492 01:27:43.700 --> 01:28:01.550 Noreen Ahmed: they're being put into unconscionable circumstances. And that's not things that are just happening one off like we can call about it, and it's one off things. There's a pattern of it happening, because there's a much bigger issue with it. And when we're talking about compassionate solutions. I think it's really important that there's honest answers whatever side of this you're on. 493 01:28:01.550 --> 01:28:18.790 Noreen Ahmed: that you're being honest about that. Because then you'll be looking for solutions toward it that there needs to be a massive plan for training people into a workforce that provides service for that, because that's not there, and the conditions of these places it should matter. Wherever you stand on this. A lot of folks are talking about 494 01:28:18.790 --> 01:28:32.880 Noreen Ahmed: just out of state, but people coming in from other states, but it's like the conditions of people who are even from here. I'm a case manager for somebody who is 4 generations from Venice, and I hates who just it got housed. Wrap it up. 495 01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:45.710 Noreen Ahmed: Well, I just want to say it's important like this emergency. It's an emergency for people who are getting killed, and they're They're going through horrible circumstances. And so that priority needs to be there. It can't be just an emergency. You don't want to see it. Thanks, Nori. 496 01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:59.770 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I I don't know if there was a question there in terms of I I've heard your comment, Maureen again. We're we're here to to have a more further discussion on on again some of the issues 497 01:28:59.770 --> 01:29:20.310 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that are wrong within the system itself. We're not here to say that everything's gonna be hunky D. Or fixed right off to that. It it will take some time. So, as I mentioned earlier, we we encourage the engagement. So if you'd like to have a further discussion with with Ashley or I down the road on some of the issues you see, and what we tend to do 498 01:29:20.310 --> 01:29:36.290 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: to address some more specific individuals that are that are unhouse within the district. I'd be happy to hear that feedback, so that as we're working through this bigger kind of monster. That is the the process like in adjusting homelessness. 499 01:29:36.290 --> 01:29:52.880 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you know, I can take those into considerations because a lot of the things that I bring back, and we push back on. Some of when we're in Some of these meetings is a lot of the feedback we get from you guys and the constituents, so we'd be happy to hear some more insight on what you think we can work on. 500 01:29:55.860 --> 01:29:59.380 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Maggie. Why don't you Go ahead, please. 501 01:30:12.350 --> 01:30:14.040 frank murphy: Maggie. Up on mute. 502 01:30:18.340 --> 01:30:22.280 Maggie Levy: I think all of my questions have been covered. But thank you very much. 503 01:30:22.590 --> 01:30:23.980 Vicki Halliday: Thank you, Maggie 504 01:30:24.380 --> 01:30:27.980 Vicki Halliday: Michael Ridley.

I I've been out there with these guys in the library. 517 01:31:45.550 --> 01:31:50.160 Michael Ridley: I've been out there with them. So the only person they want to listen to is me. 518 01:31:50.310 --> 01:31:57.850 Michael Ridley: And I have so a lot of problems out here as much as fighting, not being pulled. 519 01:31:58.160 --> 01:32:01.860 Michael Ridley: and also Saint Joseph Center, are leaden 520 01:32:02.030 --> 01:32:06.050 Michael Ridley: other people that are not occupied in these rooms. 521 01:32:07.080 --> 01:32:14.600 Michael Ridley: Good. Let other people enter the people's rooms that not even here. When people come back from their 522 01:32:17.260 --> 01:32:18.190 frank murphy: got it. 523 01:32:20.480 --> 01:32:22.880 Brian U: This is important stuff. Let's hear him. 524 01:32:23.010 --> 01:32:25.540 frank murphy: No, sorry, Brian. 525 01:32:25.950 --> 01:32:32.920 Michael Ridley: Okay, You know, there have been a lot of incidents that there is black move, and these are. I have sent pictures in 526 01:32:33.480 --> 01:32:35.670 Michael Ridley: to sew them that their black mo. 527 01:32:36.330 --> 01:32:43.340 Michael Ridley: I'm sitting here observing them. They are not feeding these guys as as proper as they say they are. 528 01:32:43.460 --> 01:32:45.510 Michael Ridley: They're not doing done for these guys. 529 01:32:46.030 --> 01:32:49.080 frank murphy: And okay, Michael. 530 01:32:49.580 --> 01:32:50.530 Michael Ridley: do that again. 531 01:32:50.550 --> 01:32:58.380 frank murphy: We got it.

Sorry, but we got time limits on these, so we're gonna have to. 532 01:32:58.430 --> 01:32:59.760 frank murphy: You're gonna have a 533 01:33:00.460 --> 01:33:07.710 frank murphy: 30 s after after one or Ashley response, and then we get another, so 534 01:33:07.830 --> 01:33:09.770 frank murphy: keep it really short. Thanks. 535 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:19.360 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Well, first of all, thank you for your help in terms of just working with a lot of lot of your colleagues in the neighbors in terms of some of the 536 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:22.900 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the intervention you mentioned, you do on that front 537 01:33:22.900 --> 01:33:41.130 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and kind of to earlier to to Noreen's point on some of that we do know some of our service providers that do hire a lot of lived experience individuals. So if that is something you'd like to continue pursuing. I can definitely try and connect you with some of the outreach teams that 538 01:33:41.130 --> 01:34:06.670 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: they probably use someone with your experience that has experience in terms of intervention with with the unhoused. Given your recent experience in terms of some of the other issues on that that you're mentioning like, let us know these are, as I mentioned earlier. Not everything is perfect right off the bad. If these are some serious issues that are coming up, we want to know, so that we can hold so that we can hold those accountable 539 01:34:06.700 --> 01:34:29.200 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: if you know. If If St. John's isn't doing what they're supposed to do, we want to know, so that we we can call them on that and make sure that they address it. If it's something that losses drop in the ball on. We definitely want to want to push on that. And as I mentioned earlier, it it also helps when we have our county partners getting that same push on that front a lot of the times. 540 01:34:29.200 --> 01:34:31.240 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: The Council offices that kind of 541 01:34:31.250 --> 01:34:48.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: stand there and kind of respond for everybody, when, as I've mentioned on the time and time again. We are one piece of a bigger puzzle, and some of these things. It would be that to make sure that our county supervisors are aware of the services that they are responsible for, and what is happening. 542 01:34:48.600 --> 01:35:04.060 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We, as an office, push on it. But, as I mentioned earlier, it would be good that you know we lean in on our our other representatives as well. They They have a role to play in this, and holding the other half, which is the county side of it, accountable for some of these issues. 543 01:35:04.060 --> 01:35:09.360 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So please, as I've mentioned. If that is happening, let us know, so we can flag it. 544 01:35:09.420 --> 01:35:26.160 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: at least from our office. I've heard some of these instances happen Everything we've heard of that comes up to that comes up our team. We we follow up and and make sure that it's. It's addressed, and get an answer for what is happening, or why it happened 545 01:35:26.160 --> 01:35:42.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: again. If there's anything that comes up specifically with your site or one of your neighbor sites that actually, I know, so that we can. We can send it up the chain of command. If it's not if the people you're complaining to. It's not getting you anywhere. We're here to help on that front as well as best we can. 546 01:35:43.140 --> 01:35:43.880 Michael Ridley: Okay. 547 01:35:44.070 --> 01:35:50.280 Michael Ridley: i'm working with the help of the foundation and it and I've been doing this for like. 548 01:35:50.300 --> 01:35:53.440 Michael Ridley: maybe 4 years now. and 549 01:35:55.260 --> 01:35:59.890 Michael Ridley: i'm doing more work as one man. As to 550 01:35:59.950 --> 01:36:05.760 Michael Ridley: the service of people are driving around Circle Team State Street. 551 01:36:06.360 --> 01:36:12.370 Michael Ridley: all those company that's out there. They're not providing what these people need. 552 01:36:13.420 --> 01:36:17.380 Michael Ridley: I'm out there interacting with these guys. seeing what they need. 553 01:36:17.610 --> 01:36:24.990 Michael Ridley: See what they want, you know. You'll see what's going on inside their head. And it is 554 01:36:26.280 --> 01:36:45.420 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so. Yeah, Michael, Just since you mentioned the circle program, I know urban alchemy very well, and their work model. And that's why the city works with you a. To contract and do our run their circle program. As I mentioned, a lot of the individuals do have 555 01:36:45.420 --> 01:37:02.150 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: lived experience and my experience with working with them for about 5 years is that they they do know a lot of the residents and individuals in the service areas that they work. That's not to say other service. Providers don't 556 01:37:02.150 --> 01:37:21.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: have issues, or that urban out may may not have its own issues to a certain extent, but their overall model, and the way they've operated from my experience and the individuals that they've helped, and to certain extent I've worked with them to where they help someone from our streets into safe sleep that went into a tiny home that is now currently 557 01:37:21.640 --> 01:37:28.070 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: employed through them, and is now doing the work that you're You know. You say you've been joined for the last 4 years. 558 01:37:28.070 --> 01:37:56.540 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But again, that's not to say there are an issues. So if these things come up, please flag it to us, so we can work to address it. Nothing. I know it's not all perfect everywhere, and there's fault everywhere. I'll have my faults in terms of the land is because there's a lot of morning pieces, and we're dealing with a very, very sensitive issue on that front. But if there are needs that, you know are not being addressed. Please let us know so that we can fight for those needs we've heard there's need for storage in the area. 559 01:37:56.570 --> 01:38:13.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you know that is something that I'm. Keeping in mind working, I find a storage facility for people to stir their personal property and access it. It came from a request. So if you see these issues or there are needs that you don't think we are addressing. That is what hopefully 560 01:38:13.270 --> 01:38:30.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you guys take from today is that let me and Ashley know, so that we can push and pull those leverage where we can, to bring those resources not only to our UN house neighbors, but as well as our house neighbors, in terms of making sure that everyone has the tools they have to to co-exist and succeed together. 561 01:38:31.180 --> 01:38:39.620 frank murphy: You didn't give a something like that. No, we're not gonna talk over. 562 01:38:39.690 --> 01:38:50.710 frank murphy: We're going to start our question. Hang on, Thank you, Michael Ridley. 563 01:38:51.610 --> 01:38:52.970 Public comment 564 01:38:53.060 --> 01:38:58.810 Vicki Halliday: and committee comment. Jim. Mira wanted to ask a question, so i'll let him down. Go ahead, Jim. 565 01:38:59.250 --> 01:39:13.500 jim murez, President: Hi, good evening, and thank you for participating with our homeless committee. This is a great discussion, and i'm really glad you you guys from CD 11 are able to participate. I'm gonna try my camera. It's not working right. 566 01:39:13.500 --> 01:39:20.360 jim murez, President: I have a couple of of after having listen to this, a couple of comments that I would like to to to throw at you on. 567 01:39:20.360 --> 01:39:36.950 jim murez, President: First of all, Would it be possible to get a breakdown of the Lhasa homeless profile tracking system of the database itself, meaning what fields of information are they actually tracking. And and would it be possible for us to be able to see what that would look like in a print out. 568 01:39:36.950 --> 01:39:41.210 jim murez, President: not of an actual individual person, but rather of the data that's being tracked. 569 01:39:41.370 --> 01:39:57.590 jim murez, President: I think that would be helpful in the future for future conversations. Next, I would like to comment on Lot parking parking lot 701, which I actually helped design back in the early nineties and lot 731, which I was involved in with planting some trees there as well. 570 01:39:57.590 --> 01:40:08.930 jim murez, President: Those are both owned by the city of Los Angeles. That's not part of the public right of way. You're shaking your head. Yes, I realize that you understand that. But I don't think that other people understand that from the back edge of sidewalk 571 01:40:08.970 --> 01:40:25.870 jim murez, President: all the way across to the opposite side of Venice Boulevard, the back side of sidewalk. It's all private property, and lapd is posted, and la.is posted. No trespassing signs. Now, personally, I can say that I have called the Circle team, and they come out. They talk to the folks who are breaking along. I'm not talking about 572 01:40:26.330 --> 01:40:40.590 jim murez, President: camping on the sidewalk. I'm talking about breaking the law. They're in the parking lot and the Circle team gives them some directions. and they say, okay? Well, we'll move on, or we'll move our stuff or whatever. And then and then the they, the Circle team walks away 573 01:40:40.590 --> 01:40:57.410 jim murez, President: and the people don't do anything, and the circle team is from my understanding, are the only people that can call lept and lapd is no longer responding to calls of that nature. So what can we do? Get the circle team? Thank you to get the Circle team to to follow up and actually 574 01:40:57.620 --> 01:40:58.990 jim murez, President: address the issue. 575 01:40:59.420 --> 01:41:13.030 jim murez, President: And and just on a fine, Frank. I'll be very quick about this. That's not a sidewalk. Just so, you know, on on South Dennis Boulevard. It's a dedicated bike lane, and it's in the roadmaps. And all this, the crossing signs are all there. Is. It's a bike. 576 01:41:13.210 --> 01:41:14.150 jim murez, President: Thanks. 577 01:41:15.750 --> 01:41:30.260 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Okay. Yeah, if it's a by plan, then we definitely have a few different, a few different avenues we can explore. I'd like to see that more specifically, I mean, that's that's good to know on my end in terms of a breakdown of some of those things. Yeah, I can ask 578 01:41:30.260 --> 01:41:38.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: our Lhasa coordinator that works with us in terms of how they can give you some of that information, or or in terms of what it is 579 01:41:38.220 --> 01:41:48.760 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: they ask. They generally, you know, name some of those basic profiles. It's kind of some of the things they'll share with us sometimes. 580 01:41:48.760 --> 01:41:59.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: but not a day of. But I know they track some of those questions. What's shared with us is just generally, you know, an an age, a first thing sometimes, and just initials. 581 01:41:59.830 --> 01:42:11.380 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and then just some basic data. But no medical data on that front what they can share. Jam. I will ask them, because they, Lhasa, will shield itself around a lot of hypo laws. 582 01:42:11.380 --> 01:42:21.720 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and we can go down a whole other conversation on whether it is or is it? But that is generally what they give us feedback on. As I mentioned earlier, the mayor and 583 01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:32.750 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Lhasa are working on a system to coordinate that information that could be a little bit more shareable to both Council offices, which in return would mean the general public 584 01:42:32.790 --> 01:42:45.260 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: in terms of painting and the trespassing, if it's trespassing. That is something i'll, i'll talk to our officers about in terms of how that works. But please note that circles 585 01:42:45.280 --> 01:42:59.220 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: role in that is not to enforce the trespassing. It is to remind them and do the outreach, and again engage them on that front and try and de-escalate that. So that Ellie painting isn't the first person to respond to someone 586 01:42:59.500 --> 01:43:29.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: trespassing on a you know public lot for the most part or not, for the most part on a public open parking lot we do on our unarmed response, teams being the first ones to engage them on something like trespassing, so our officers can can be dealing with some of the bigger issues that they get calls on. If you are talking, trespassing on that front like on a day to day basis and enforcing it. That is something I can talk to our lapd teams about issue in a citation, for 587 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:58.560 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: if that is something I mean it's trespassing. But in terms of how the personal property is addressed. Now, hey, I just moved on my stuff on there. I'm Here I talked to the Lepd officer, and he told me to get off. I pulled down in compliance by walking up the parking lot. Lapd cannot address the personal property that they leave behind. That is why we need to schedule it through our care plus days. So then it goes through the legal process of the outreach. It's posted. 588 01:43:58.560 --> 01:44:24.850 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and sanitation processes any personal property, and discards any hazardous material. So addressing the overall issue in terms of trespassing lepd issue, a citation. If that's something you're you're requesting. That is something we can definitely talk to lapd about in terms of issue and a citation for trespassing and enforcing that. But the personal property, if there is stuff on there, does have to go through the legal process. 589 01:44:24.850 --> 01:44:31.090 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and that is to our carrying care plus days, because Lapd will not touch personal property 590 01:44:31.200 --> 01:44:41.250 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: in terms of again that sidewalk. If it is a dedicated by clean, please send me it. Send me a national information so that I can. So I can note that 591 01:44:41.430 --> 01:44:43.730 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I mean that's good information to know for us on our end. 592 01:44:45.500 --> 01:44:46.820 jim murez, President: Do I get a follow up. 593 01:44:47.280 --> 01:44:48.080 frank murphy: sure. 594 01:44:49.120 --> 01:44:51.660 jim murez, President: so i'm not asking for 595 01:44:51.730 --> 01:45:00.540 jim murez, President: W. What the loss of team will speak to you. I'm asking you for what the it folks at Lhasa are tracking. 596 01:45:01.750 --> 01:45:19.780 jim murez, President: In other words, what are the data fields? There's a big difference whether it's it's medical or not. Doesn't matter as long as it's just the field. What what is the name of the field? What are they labeling the fields? Okay. So it yeah. If you go on to their website, they have all the data of all of it. 597 01:45:19.780 --> 01:45:23.210 jim murez, President: so I can share the link with you. I'm looking at. 598 01:45:23.520 --> 01:45:41.160 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, i'm looking at it. They break it down by Spa: They break it down by year. You're probably a better data want than than than I am I? I probably one would like to hear your breakdown on some of this for sure. But yeah, all that data is available on the website, and 599 01:45:41.330 --> 01:45:49.140 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: i'll see if maybe actually, if you have your computer, maybe you can type it into the the chat box, and then some. I'm tracking this from My. 600 01:45:50.120 --> 01:45:55.590 jim murez, President: But yeah, that okay. Thank you. I think this should. This should get you to where you want to go. Thank you very much. 601 01:45:56.110 --> 01:45:57.100 frank murphy: Thanks, Jim. 602 01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:01.130 frank murphy: All right. So now the committee 603 01:46:04.280 --> 01:46:06.330 frank murphy: Pat had his hand up. Okay. 604 01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:15.150 frank murphy: we're under the same. We're under the same rules as everybody else. So just to just to be 605 01:46:15.200 --> 01:46:16.020 frank murphy: clear. 606 01:46:17.430 --> 01:46:24.820 PatRaphael: All right. Well, one thank you for coming to share this information with all of us 607 01:46:25.140 --> 01:46:30.520 PatRaphael: today is kind of cold and rainy. It's been historically cold and rainy. 608 01:46:30.770 --> 01:46:39.740 PatRaphael: I understand. This year is the first year we close the warming shelters the ones that we had at the the armory. And then I, 609 01:46:39.900 --> 01:46:42.870 PatRaphael: though there was a program with the oak wood. 610 01:46:43.000 --> 01:46:49.550 PatRaphael: So what alternative are we offering people in a year where it's historically cold. 611 01:46:50.180 --> 01:46:54.750 PatRaphael: And then I understand Also. there's a pilot program with 612 01:46:54.810 --> 01:46:58.420 the 2, 1 one as an option. When you're trying to get help. 613 01:46:58.630 --> 01:47:00.390 PatRaphael: We're trying to figure out 614 01:47:00.470 --> 01:47:10.160 PatRaphael: what's the whole time? What the how, how, how complete is that process? How how staff is it? Is it? Is it something that's 615 01:47:10.180 --> 01:47:21.750 PatRaphael: actually up and running? Or is this just just something that's just been announced? And then we're talking about the data for the inside safe. 616 01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:25.590 PatRaphael: because sometimes we're sometimes we're dealing with. 617 01:47:25.800 --> 01:47:29.800 PatRaphael: We're dealing with numbers that 618 01:47:30.510 --> 01:47:40.130 PatRaphael: that we're we're not really understanding what the definitions me, as far as housing or shelter or right, so so 619 01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:44.220 PatRaphael: I I guess i'll wait on the follow up. But 620 01:47:44.590 --> 01:47:46.820 PatRaphael: my initial 3 questions 621 01:47:48.020 --> 01:48:06.670 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so in terms of the warming shelters, Lhasa has told us that they are not exploring. They Haven't, been exploring the typical sites that they would partner with the city with right now, which sometimes would be our rec centers, and you know, for us are with our our office in the back. 622 01:48:06.670 --> 01:48:11.340 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: They are shifting over to a 623 01:48:11.350 --> 01:48:12.780 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: a voucher system 624 01:48:12.900 --> 01:48:31.150 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: for motels. They have contracts with motels, so yes, you would access it through the 2, 1, one in terms of the wait times. I know that right now. During the the winter colder season it. There has been a longer wait time, but we recently used it, and I think for me it was roughly 20 min or so. 625 01:48:31.150 --> 01:48:38.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and it fluctuates, depending on on the time of day and things like that. But the 626 01:48:38.450 --> 01:48:57.920 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Lhasa is shifting over to about your program for these sites where you call You'll get your voucher. They'll pick you up. They'll take you so from Thursday. Through this past Sunday it was open. They pick you up they would take you. You check in, and then if you wanted, they want to pick you up again and drop you back off 627 01:48:57.950 --> 01:49:07.710 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: to to the site they picked you up from. That is what we've been informed is the transition that is happening. I 628 01:49:07.710 --> 01:49:23.940 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: have discussed this with Lhasa as recent as Friday, in terms of what we could do to expand those services in the district as of right now, they said, as I mentioned, bang on to stick with the voucher program. 629 01:49:23.950 --> 01:49:41.030 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and they don't really have much in terms of a warming shelter in all of Spot 5, let alone on CD. 11; which again, as i'm saying, this is where we ask residents and people to help us push back on some of these. 630 01:49:41.180 --> 01:49:52.380 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Not push back on, but ask our county partners to, you know. Bring some of these services online that that will help in terms of asking for data from inside safe. 631 01:49:52.450 --> 01:50:10.800 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: That is what we're waiting on ourselves, and there is some general data as to how many individuals we're at a location, how many tents, how many people, dwellings, motels, interim housing, or congregate shelter. We do get some of that basic 632 01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:18.980 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: information that they're tracking what happens. Post I haven't had that information shared with this. Yet that is what we are waiting for 633 01:50:18.980 --> 01:50:35.600 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: from both the Mayor's team, as well as losing in terms of how, now that we're a month out from some of our, and even longer of some of our operations. What are those number look like now on that front? Because for us, on the city side it's just 634 01:50:35.600 --> 01:50:53.180 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: confirming and working with our resources that we have on the ground. But once we do the one hand off our loss, it takes them. It goes back to kind of what I was mentioning earlier. We don't always get that that data back that that we want to make sure that people are getting the services 635 01:50:53.180 --> 01:51:04.410 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: or the feedback. To some of the questions we think I mean, how many of States? Where and where are they at now? Who got? Psh, and who stay in and permanent housing, and things like that. They haven't shared that data with us. 636 01:51:05.160 --> 01:51:10.820 PatRaphael: Now the warming centers had a track. Rick. People knew that if it was cold enough. 637 01:51:10.880 --> 01:51:12.680 PatRaphael: Just go near the 638 01:51:12.710 --> 01:51:15.330 PatRaphael: and then we did that right? 639 01:51:15.400 --> 01:51:26.520 PatRaphael: So what kind of communication was done to go with this? Because, you know, a lot of people just go when they need it. and then when they need it. There's nobody there, right? It just seemed like 640 01:51:26.620 --> 01:51:33.000 PatRaphael: this was an especially hard year to unroll this, but but I don't want to get too sidetracked on this 641 01:51:33.090 --> 01:51:37.250 PatRaphael: also. The we seem like we're playing Wacomo with the 642 01:51:37.260 --> 01:51:39.130 PatRaphael: with the encampments 643 01:51:39.210 --> 01:51:42.160 PatRaphael: moving them over to the to the 644 01:51:42.200 --> 01:51:53.280 PatRaphael: place where they are now is just right, out of which, because it's within it's out of 500 feet from the library out of 500 feet from the board wall. So it's kind of in one of those places where 645 01:51:53.350 --> 01:51:57.590 PatRaphael: there isn't the tools that is comfortable to use 646 01:51:57.670 --> 01:52:09.500 PatRaphael: to use there. And then also you're saying, Get in touch with you, Get in touch with you. Can you give us a way to get in touch and email the phone number, and then I just want to wrap up. 647 01:52:09.530 --> 01:52:13.540 PatRaphael: Let's follow up on this 2 million dollars I just recently heard about. 648 01:52:13.740 --> 01:52:15.830 PatRaphael: Can we get some sort of heads up. 649 01:52:16.410 --> 01:52:18.010 frank murphy: Alright. Thanks, Pat. 650 01:52:18.880 --> 01:52:39.960 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, my information, Frank. I don't know. If you share it. I I can type it in right now my email it's I I can type in my email right now, and actually can typers in as well in terms of so our insights safe isn't pushing anybody around on that front at least one of our partnerships everyone has been offered. 651 01:52:39.960 --> 01:52:54.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Multi vouchers are are housing on that front. Some individuals have to find and have moved on. But for the most part a lot of a majority of those operations have been successful with individuals going into the motels and hotels on that front. 652 01:52:54.500 --> 01:53:08.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and in terms of some of these locations where individual shift or they move around, I mean our goal is to get everybody in and not have them shift around. But you know sometimes they will move, and sometimes they'll just come back 653 01:53:08.520 --> 01:53:38.230 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: on that front. But the goal is to, as I've mentioned earlier is to make sure that we get enough to be able to offer everyone a chance to go in and give them every opportunity to get the services they need, but at the same time we do have the responsibility of having to clean the sidewalks, of having to clean some of these sites, both for everyone's general use as well as the individuals that are within some of these intents. So sometimes, you know, individuals are ready, and they'll go in 654 01:53:38.320 --> 01:53:54.060 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: other times they'll wait for the clean up to happen. Other times they'll move on, but we want to make sure that through that whole process individuals are given the opportunity and the resources to be able to come inside. But at the same time, as I mentioned, we, we do have to keep our streets clean. 655 01:53:54.060 --> 01:54:01.940 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and these locations sometimes do get messy and and and out of control on that front. That, and it needs to be addressed. 656 01:54:06.910 --> 01:54:08.080 Jody Mortimer: Thanks, Fred 657 01:54:08.830 --> 01:54:09.840 Jody Mortimer: Jodie. 658 01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:11.960 Thank you, Frank. 659 01:54:12.220 --> 01:54:17.140 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, Juan, for joining the committee this evening. 660 01:54:18.260 --> 01:54:29.800 Jody Mortimer: I have just maybe Basically, one comment. I know that Pat pretty much hit the had my question. But i'm gonna. I'm not gonna give you a hypothetical. I'm gonna give you a real 661 01:54:29.860 --> 01:54:37.260 Jody Mortimer: world situation happened to me. I was. I was homeless for many years, and that through the Va. I've got a bash 662 01:54:37.330 --> 01:54:47.680 Jody Mortimer: vash a housing. Let me be quick about this. I got a call at 90'clock in the evening from a an individual. It was on the worst night, just a couple of nights ago. 663 01:54:48.010 --> 01:54:55.840 Jody Mortimer: and they needed to get into shelter. They were ready you got to catch when there. There's a specific window when they're very open 664 01:54:55.900 --> 01:55:13.420 Jody Mortimer: to services Sweeps is one of them, possibly one in the right before a bad storm, but that last night was one of them. When they call, and they're ready to go in. I I told them that they that there was found out. There is no cold weather weather shelters anywhere near. 665 01:55:13.500 --> 01:55:30.750 Jody Mortimer: so he was left out there. I haven't heard from him since I told the call. 3 1 1 2 1, one, the bridge housing doesn't. Do anything at that. That. Anything like that. My question you to you is, I call 2, 1, one, and I put myself in this place 666 01:55:30.990 --> 01:55:35.270 Jody Mortimer: and said I wanted to come into a shelter tonight right now. 667 01:55:35.300 --> 01:55:37.790 Jody Mortimer: and they said they all shelters were full. 668 01:55:39.700 --> 01:55:44.870 Jody Mortimer: all shelters were full. The closest one, even if it was open, was it was in, was in. 669 01:55:45.040 --> 01:55:46.270 Jody Mortimer: was it? 670 01:55:46.380 --> 01:55:48.450 Jody Mortimer: Yes. yeah. 671 01:55:49.060 --> 01:56:01.440 Jody Mortimer: So my question is, why can't we just have a get a bridge housing, or one of the parking lots here when we have a. When we have this situation, I put up a tent a large tent to get these guys in them. 672 01:56:01.570 --> 01:56:07.650 Jody Mortimer: because nobody should be when they're ready. Right? That's it. That's my question. Thank you. I have a follow up. 673 01:56:08.330 --> 01:56:22.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So yeah, in terms of if the shelters are full, I mean, you're right. There is a there is a much greater need than the actual resource that is out there, and that is something that, as I've mentioned earlier, we've asked lots of what could we do to help on that front as Well. 674 01:56:22.740 --> 01:56:30.720 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: they are not opening them up right now. They've opened a couple again, not necessarily in our spall, and most of them 675 01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:34.500 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: are probably at capacity right now given given that temperatures. 676 01:56:34.600 --> 01:56:38.370 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: but you know we do need more resources all around. 677 01:56:38.650 --> 01:56:51.160 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and that's something that I mentioned. We're working on on all our lots. I think I've if you've been, if you were on the call the whole time I've mentioned a few times that we definitely are exploring every option, every city, on land, private land. 678 01:56:51.300 --> 01:56:58.760 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: anything we can to explore some more of these services, to to get as many people within the district off our streets, and at least under a roof. 679 01:56:59.440 --> 01:57:07.930 Jody Mortimer: Thank you. And you did mention to help you with the the service providers in the area, how we can get them to get their services more online. 680 01:57:07.930 --> 01:57:21.820 Jody Mortimer: What do you want us to do on that? In that situation? Do we need to form a community organizing to go out there and force them because they're not. They're not going to do it. We're talking to you about You're the only ones that could tell them what to do we? We? We, we really can't. 681 01:57:22.360 --> 01:57:40.760 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So again it's it's yes, you guys can To a certain extent. Again, the community advocating to we're not the only ones that again, are are dealing with this homelessness. Prices, and we have county partners and State representatives most importantly, a lot of the services. It is a city and county partnership. 682 01:57:40.760 --> 01:57:58.170 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: having your county reps. Come and have this exact same conversation for for an hour and a half, almost 2 h, to try and explain better. Explain some of the issues that they're you know they're either having or not having on the county side to address some of these, because. 683 01:57:58.190 --> 01:58:03.010 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you know there's only so much I can control on the cities on the city side of things. 684 01:58:03.010 --> 01:58:31.270 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So. But you do have more power than you give yourself credit for Jodi on that front. Believe you me, and it does help us. As I've mentioned, we are pushing everything i'm telling you here when i'm in these meetings with our county reps our Dma traps. The councilwoman is meeting with the county supervisors on top of it. We are, we are pushing on some of these. And but if they're also not having that same character from their constituents, from they're responsible for, and should be answering to as well. 685 01:58:31.270 --> 01:58:44.450 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: then it does make it easier for them to just. They will talk to the city, and you know, Go that route. It'd be good to hold them account, and just as accountable. And to some of these questions, as you know, I am the and as you are. 686 01:58:44.600 --> 01:58:51.820 Jody Mortimer: yeah, it just seems like an easy fix to put up a tent on their lot that it's already there. 687 01:58:53.120 --> 01:58:54.320 frank murphy: Anybody else. 688 01:58:55.970 --> 01:58:56.790 frank murphy: Brian. 689 01:58:57.980 --> 01:59:09.990 Brian U: Thanks, Frank Ashley, and well and thank you so much. It's on behalf of this committee, and everybody listening is such a breath of fresh air to hear people that are actually being transparent and communicating with us 690 01:59:09.990 --> 01:59:25.740 Brian U: as a homeless committee, and as the committee in general we have. We've had a tough time over the last 8 years trying to get transparency out of people. I know we had a meeting earlier today, one, and there was something brought up that I think may be important for this group to understand. 691 01:59:26.000 --> 01:59:30.510 Brian U: I'm still worried about transparency, because in the last regime 692 01:59:30.520 --> 01:59:35.280 Brian U: the nonprofits reported directly to our Council district or a council member. 693 01:59:35.640 --> 01:59:44.760 Brian U: and so there was a direct correlation between the people and the contracts and stuff that were just strictly between the Council member. You mentioned today that the report 694 01:59:44.780 --> 01:59:51.150 Brian U: is no longer nonprofits to the Council member. It's now to the mayor's team. And so 695 01:59:51.280 --> 02:00:00.800 Brian U: can you explain how that's gonna happen? Because, you know, we really want Tracy to be able to get the transparency out of these nonprofits that are working in our area. 696 02:00:01.010 --> 02:00:15.530 Brian U: And if all of a sudden she doesn't have the power to get that, because it's okay, and the and the St. Joseph team is now the on the mayor's team, and so we really had a tough time getting information out of those organizations, and now it seems like it'll probably be impossible. 697 02:00:16.530 --> 02:00:29.180 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So, Brian, we will be getting some of that data, and we do push for some of that. And as I release it to the mayor. See, we get access to it. So maybe you can explain how it works. 698 02:00:29.200 --> 02:00:41.300 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Oh, so especially right now to the inside safe program. And that's where the mayor. And since they oversight General, they technically oversee all our homelessness response kind of the bigger picture of it all. 699 02:00:41.300 --> 02:01:08.240 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So everything when it comes to homeless. This goes through the mayor's office. Whether it be our insight safe as I've mentioned, or hey, we have this site. We want to do permanent support of housing great work with the CEO and the homelessness team from the Mayor's office to make it happen, because they kind of are the the overall key holders for the city. So when I say, yeah, Lhasa and the Mayor's team are working to get that, it's kind of also they're working with us to get that data as well. 700 02:01:08.240 --> 02:01:24.010 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So we're not kind of getting cut out of the process, but we are allowing that process at least for the time being to kind of take place, since the mayor is coming at it, as at least from what we're seeing, it's a much more thoughtful, coordinated process, and the very first 701 02:01:24.250 --> 02:01:34.880 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: or second day that I was on the job, and I had a meeting with 60 individuals from the various departments and the Mayor's team. We literally spent about 30 min or so. 702 02:01:34.880 --> 02:01:52.280 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: having the discussion from the Mayor's team as to how they're trying to improve the data that is reported back to not only their office, but to council offices on a constituency. So, since they are a part of that bigger picture that oversees it all. We are kind of 703 02:01:52.280 --> 02:02:06.860 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: tracking, working with them to see that process play itself out. But we're not taking ourselves out of it. So when that's available, we say, hey, give it to us. I can call Saint Joseph and work with them on some basic data in terms of their outreach, and they'll send us. They can send us some of that. 704 02:02:06.860 --> 02:02:18.660 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We get it from our circle team. We get it from some of our providers, but the bigger kind of comprehensive kind of questions that we get asked about, especially about the initiatives. 705 02:02:18.660 --> 02:02:32.740 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We are letting it play through that bigger process on that front. So I can ask our service Providers kind of provide us just some basic general data kind of how we asked you guys earlier like, hey, what do your numbers look like, so we can get an understanding of that. 706 02:02:32.740 --> 02:02:49.540 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I have asset of our current service providers in terms of like the Circle team. I do get some of those, those, those those general reports back and Lot Saint Johnson's in, and a transition right now given that most of their team. 707 02:02:49.620 --> 02:02:52.640 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But I do meet with some of their team. 708 02:02:52.800 --> 02:03:13.210 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: especially over ocean front and some events to get some general data numbers on that front. And so to answer your question, we're not up solving it ourselves completely, and saying, Well go to them. It's there for the bigger picture it gets, but we're not going to take ourselves out of the equation of asking for some of these numbers and holding our our local providers accountable on that front. 709 02:03:13.510 --> 02:03:29.560 Brian U: Thank you. As a as a quick follow up. One of the things we were trying to do with the homeless Committee was to get the leadership of these nonprofits to basically show us what their contracts are, show us what the key performance indicators are that they're required to do when they're doing outreach in Venice. 710 02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:47.180 Brian U: How many people are they supposed to house. How many people do they touch? What are they doing based on the contract itself? And so and we were never given the contracts we no one says not. We can't tell you anything about what we do. And I think just as as a group of people living in Venice that see. 711 02:03:47.220 --> 02:04:00.960 Brian U: you know it's such a breath of fresh air to have you guys here first of all, but it's to to not know like, what's the bridge contract? Call for? What does path have to do to maintain the ability to have that lease? 712 02:04:02.380 --> 02:04:16.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So that is a good question, Brian. To a certain extent, I them. There's ways that we kind of get some of that information, and that's whether they, when they submit for the Rfp. What's asked of them? Sometimes we're able to see that. 713 02:04:17.070 --> 02:04:18.050 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But 714 02:04:18.580 --> 02:04:20.110 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I 715 02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:22.200 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: you can't get the contract. 716 02:04:22.440 --> 02:04:43.970 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I would be able to let me. Let me find that out. It shouldn't be. I don't think it's impossible it should be a public open record request that should be submitted. That would be so. When we go to the mayor's office with hey? What's that contract look like, and can you share it with us or our ledge team to look it up in the in the dance system, because everything is public record on that front. So but 717 02:04:45.730 --> 02:04:47.050 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: let me. 718 02:04:47.050 --> 02:05:17.010 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I don't wanna over commit to it right now, but I know we've internally discussed it, but I I know we're. Either the Council woman is the our late team introduced it, or we're discussing, introducing kind of an accountability of what we are getting our dollars back for that was something I probably I just need to look up. I want to say we either have already introduced it, and I I just kind of get that legislation, or it's something that we're discussing and introducing in terms of what, in short, what you mentioned like, if we're putting X number of dollars, one is the 719 02:05:17.160 --> 02:05:29.380 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: kind of report back that we should be getting to make sure that we're getting what we're paying for essentially, and that accountability on that to make sure that the system is in place. I know that 720 02:05:29.420 --> 02:05:34.830 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that everything that is happening within the system is working. The 721 02:05:35.260 --> 02:05:52.870 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I was just reviewing the I don't know where it's at right now, but I know losses. Continuum of care. Contract is coming up recently, and that is a discussion that we are having in terms of what can be changed within it. And I think a part of that that we're currently discussing is. 722 02:05:52.870 --> 02:06:00.570 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: what does it look like in terms of the data that we get back, and that is a concern for something that I know. The Council woman is 723 02:06:01.290 --> 02:06:18.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: yes, the Government charter, the Los Angeles continue on with care. Governance Charter is up for review right now, and that is it something that is being discussed with the Council offices, and that is something that is keen on our end in terms of the report back that we get from the dollars that we put into the program. In short. 724 02:06:19.480 --> 02:06:24.150 frank murphy: Thanks, thanks, one, Ashley. Thank you again. Not for fresh air from all of you. 725 02:06:24.800 --> 02:06:28.720 frank murphy: Anybody else on the Committee 726 02:06:29.310 --> 02:06:32.330 Brian U: Didn't. We have questions prepared for them, Frank. 727 02:06:33.220 --> 02:06:40.220 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: We're pushing like 2 h. You told me it's our 728 02:06:40.250 --> 02:06:49.020 frank murphy: let's. Well, let's ask. Let's ask one if he's willing to come back again, because i'm sure that this is. 729 02:06:49.160 --> 02:06:53.560 frank murphy: you know, one I'm. Actually. 730 02:06:54.720 --> 02:06:56.320 frank murphy: I can't hear you. Vicki 731 02:06:58.340 --> 02:07:01.120 Elizabeth Wright: Elizabeth Ride has a question. 732 02:07:01.210 --> 02:07:03.100 frank murphy: Oh, i'm sorry, Elizabeth. 733 02:07:05.150 --> 02:07:12.210 Elizabeth Wright: Oh. 1 one of the things I have wondered about is. where does 734 02:07:12.490 --> 02:07:15.350 Elizabeth Wright: when people go from living on the street 735 02:07:15.820 --> 02:07:17.090 Elizabeth Wright: into Hamilton? 736 02:07:18.010 --> 02:07:22.850 Elizabeth Wright: Where do they get things like the dishes, the pots and the panels. 737 02:07:22.950 --> 02:07:27.660 Elizabeth Wright: utensils, the linens. Where does that come from? 738 02:07:28.820 --> 02:07:30.920 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So it comes from the 739 02:07:31.770 --> 02:07:49.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: So it all depends. If you're talking about, they actually got housing, and they're getting into their perman. It's a part of housing. A lot of those are furnished already for the motel vouchers on that front. They it comes with the service in terms of Lenin's and all that. 740 02:07:49.910 --> 02:08:06.630 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: They also get Lawson, that has an infrastructure where they they'll ever food and and things like that within our sites for our shelters. They do provide all the basic toiletries and amenities that someone would need on that front. 741 02:08:06.670 --> 02:08:26.250 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: It all just depends on where you go, but they get the the basics on that fronts. We understand that you know most individuals have very minimal things that they'll come in with. So part of the goal is to make sure that you know they don't have to worry about those little things in terms of trying to trees. 742 02:08:26.250 --> 02:08:42.140 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and some of those things you mentioned again. Are there times where it didn't happen right off the batter? There was an issue. Initially I am that I I mentioned earlier. The system is in 100 perfect. And yes, these things sometimes do happen. 743 02:08:42.140 --> 02:08:53.060 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: but as we hear them they they should be addressed. And yeah, they're all paid for through the programs and services that the county that the county and the city provide. 744 02:08:53.760 --> 02:08:55.560 Elizabeth Wright: Okay. And 745 02:08:57.590 --> 02:08:59.190 what is it that 746 02:08:59.620 --> 02:09:03.980 Elizabeth Wright: the Neighborhood Council can do to help out 747 02:09:04.720 --> 02:09:06.850 Elizabeth Wright: anything regarding the homeless. 748 02:09:07.780 --> 02:09:24.240 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I think what you're doing now, having these kind of opportunities and discussions for for the community members to participate, and at least understand and hear from our office and and the providers in terms of what's happening. Because a lot of the times you know Well. 749 02:09:24.240 --> 02:09:39.140 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: for the most part I mean, knowledge is power. The more you guys know, the more information you get, the better understanding you have of the process. You know how to report it back, as I mentioned earlier, providing feedback on what worked, what Isn't working as we get into 750 02:09:40.530 --> 02:10:00.080 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: services. You know what services are being offered, or are not there, as I've mentioned a few times helping us push on your other elected representatives, especially the county, in terms of holding them accountable for their portion of this, because, remember, they are a county entity, not just a city entity, and sometimes 751 02:10:00.080 --> 02:10:18.900 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: it's easy to look at La, who has a lot of money, quote, unquote, to address some of this, and probably not give us what we deserve sometimes, and that's more personally, me, me personally speaking. And then. Now we're going into the West Side as we go to the West Side, especially here on Venice, you know, making sure that we 752 02:10:18.940 --> 02:10:26.900 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: we get the resources that you know that we need on that front, and I think that kind of goes back to to Brian's question in terms of 753 02:10:26.900 --> 02:10:44.430 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: the accountability of that, and holding them accountable, and it's not just holding our office accountable, or the Mayor's office accountable. It's it's also both Lhasa and, as I mentioned the county accountable, you know, having them come out here and have these discussions with us and your participation 754 02:10:44.430 --> 02:10:47.840 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: that that really helps us shape 755 02:10:48.020 --> 02:11:03.810 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: shapes the program and our next steps and helps us find some of the gaps that you know, in the midst of everything that the Council Office does and works with can sometimes get lost the councils and the community play a big role in in in accountability on all fronts. 756 02:11:04.510 --> 02:11:08.670 Elizabeth Wright: Thank you. and thank both of you for being here this evening. 757 02:11:10.070 --> 02:11:14.000 frank murphy: I do have a quick question which 758 02:11:14.220 --> 02:11:18.310 frank murphy: will actually require a very short answer. 759 02:11:20.470 --> 02:11:37.410 frank murphy: The the one of the issues that we had with with the past administrations and and what we've seen really work what I've seen in San Francisco, and what I've seen in other areas that have very similar problems 760 02:11:37.640 --> 02:11:44.680 frank murphy: is the consistency with which people meet with the community. So my question to you is. 761 02:11:44.810 --> 02:11:47.350 frank murphy: is, can we have this 762 02:11:48.390 --> 02:11:49.650 frank murphy: again. 763 02:11:50.080 --> 02:12:00.440 frank murphy: but within a very short period of time, because, as you do this more and more often. it reduces the number of questions that need to be asked. 764 02:12:00.640 --> 02:12:03.770 frank murphy: and the clarity between the 2 becomes 765 02:12:03.790 --> 02:12:08.320 frank murphy: a lot more coaching. So the question is, Can we expect 766 02:12:08.500 --> 02:12:10.040 frank murphy: more of this? 767 02:12:11.300 --> 02:12:16.850 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, Frank? I'm: i'm definitely open to to coming back and have you for the discussions. 768 02:12:16.850 --> 02:12:38.460 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I can't say every meeting, you know, cause you know. But actually, between actually I and our and our team, we definitely can make ourselves available again. Sometimes there might be something more specific that we have on topic that we can discuss where maybe someone else can help you in. But in terms of working with you and the committee. 769 02:12:38.460 --> 02:12:56.930 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: I'm more than happy to do that. And then, as you will probably play a bigger role with the overall Just Neighborhood Council. So so yeah, it invite me for sure, at least. Now for for the next few meetings. Let's connect on on what you think will work. 770 02:12:57.150 --> 02:13:16.340 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: so I can stop by, and you know, hang out for a bit and and answer a few questions. I don't want to say I'll come into every meeting, being here for 2 h, because I I do have to try and get some some rest to a certain extent. But i'm more than happy to to have these ongoing. 771 02:13:16.340 --> 02:13:30.550 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: or you know us neighbors between actually myself and I sometimes just having these coffees and conversations, I can make myself available to to connect on some of these things or answer some of these questions. 772 02:13:30.550 --> 02:13:48.650 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: But hopefully, you know, you all are gonna be very active in talking to your mayor's team and the counties team, and the next meeting or 2 will be filled by their representatives answering all your questions. And you know you Won't need one to be the only Government agency answering most of these questions. But 773 02:13:48.780 --> 02:13:57.220 PatRaphael: for sure, Frank, invite me. Let me know, and we'd be more than happy to attend. 774 02:13:57.500 --> 02:14:00.990 frank murphy: We'll get that? Yeah, we'll get to that for sure. 775 02:14:01.050 --> 02:14:05.130 frank murphy: Well, thank you so much, Ashley. Thank you so much. 776 02:14:05.240 --> 02:14:18.700 Vicki Halliday: It's nearly 90'clock. Go to bed. 777 02:14:19.130 --> 02:14:23.440 Ansar Muhammad: I think what I have on my mind is going to require more than 778 02:14:23.850 --> 02:14:27.960 Ansar Muhammad: 8 min back and forth, so I would like to 779 02:14:28.220 --> 02:14:31.640 Ansar Muhammad: schedule a time to meet with you and Ashley to discuss 780 02:14:31.900 --> 02:14:38.950 Ansar Muhammad: the work that we do around the gang and the Pension Prevention services that we provide through Grid. 781 02:14:39.220 --> 02:14:47.390 Ansar Muhammad: When Michael was speaking he was speaking into it, but he didn't have enough time to really go into it. So i'm hoping we can talk offline 782 02:14:47.840 --> 02:14:53.270 Ansar Muhammad: the the one. I say this what's really pressing right now is 783 02:14:53.670 --> 02:14:57.260 Ansar Muhammad: the service providers we need to really look at. 784 02:14:58.160 --> 02:15:04.140 Ansar Muhammad: Is it possible that you know that in in in the proposals that it can be. 785 02:15:04.630 --> 02:15:17.730 Ansar Muhammad: you know, like a a higher policy. A lot of times these folks come into our community. They don't know our community. They don't want to sub contract with agencies like the helper foundation. They don't want to hire local folks. 786 02:15:17.970 --> 02:15:29.890 Ansar Muhammad: and ultimately we are faced with what we're looking at today in Venice. So I I want to have this conversation offline because we have to have a local hiring policy. 787 02:15:30.280 --> 02:15:40.690 Ansar Muhammad: whether it be the Circle team or Lhasa, or even St. Joseph's. The helper foundation is in vent. It's been in Venice for 25 years, and all of our folks are doing outreach local folk. 788 02:15:41.100 --> 02:15:46.850 Ansar Muhammad: And so the you know, to to have a local hiring policy. I I don't think it's too far fetched 789 02:15:47.200 --> 02:16:00.260 Ansar Muhammad: for agencies coming into a community that's not indigenous, nor do they know the landscape. and I think we can have the even a a greater success if we hire local people. So i'm hoping to meet you soon. 790 02:16:00.550 --> 02:16:06.210 Ansar Muhammad: Tracy, have told me a lot about you guys, and I'm looking forward to our conversation offline. Thank you. 791 02:16:06.870 --> 02:16:28.040 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: Yeah, just a follow up with Ashley and I, and I think that's a a conversation i'm more than happy to be a part of when we get into local higher conversations, and some of those we're talking, which is a good thing, bigger picture, and I can talk to our team about what is maybe who else should be sitting in that meeting. 792 02:16:28.040 --> 02:16:46.459 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: and or how we could at least utilize, as I mentioned, our own local resources and or not just what and when I say local resources, I Don't just mean dollar, spence, or anything like that. But I also mean, like our organizations, our neighbors and our communities, our local communities, to see how we can 793 02:16:46.480 --> 02:16:57.910 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: allocate all those resources to make sure we we make the best of it all around. So that's definitely something we can. We can discuss and and have a much deeper conversation with with our office. 794 02:16:58.360 --> 02:16:59.180 Ansar Muhammad: Thank you. 795 02:16:59.660 --> 02:17:03.320 frank murphy: One Ashley. Thank you so much for 796 02:17:04.040 --> 02:17:07.360 frank murphy: coming to our meeting this evening. Thank you 797 02:17:08.840 --> 02:17:28.490 Juan Fregoso - CD 11: all right, thanks, Brian.

Conversation like I, said I, it's definitely another meeting that i'd like to be a part of in a conversation that i'd like to continue with with you on the team.

O'brien, Go ahead, please. 811 02:18:53.180 --> 02:19:02.570 Sean Obrien: Yeah. Another great meeting. Thanks, guys for everything. I'm not sure if we've had the Circle team. Come here and make a presentation. 812 02:19:02.670 --> 02:19:03.760 Sean Obrien: Then 813 02:19:03.870 --> 02:19:05.230 Sean Obrien: we. 814 02:19:05.260 --> 02:19:07.700 Sean Obrien: if we can invite them again. I don't know. 815 02:19:09.150 --> 02:19:10.280 Vicki Halliday: but 816 02:19:11.049 --> 02:19:14.469 Sean Obrien: just one quick thing from we did have them scheduling 817 02:19:14.660 --> 02:19:15.900 Sean Obrien: last year. 818 02:19:16.150 --> 02:19:22.590 Vicki Halliday: and it was cancelled when they moved into Westminster, and everything was sort of upset. 819 02:19:23.250 --> 02:19:28.590 Vicki Halliday: and we never got them back. But i'll make a note of that. 820 02:19:29.370 --> 02:19:30.790 Sean Obrien: Thank you 821 02:19:35.830 --> 02:19:40.430 frank murphy: at Oh, and Lisa Redmond. Go ahead, please. 822 02:19:44.770 --> 02:19:57.310 Lisa Redmond: so I guess you're skipping the part about public comment on the presentation, so I will include that in my general I think it's absolutely egregious that our Council person 823 02:19:57.930 --> 02:20:09.830 Lisa Redmond: turned away. 2 million plus dollars to do an account meant to home when just I think it's mostly because the previous administration brought it forward. 824 02:20:10.890 --> 02:20:11.870 Lisa Redmond: It's. 825 02:20:11.880 --> 02:20:21.610 Lisa Redmond: you know the money's there. The same thing, like the money was funded for a quarter party on Third Street. Where is that now? Why is that going to another encampment. 826 02:20:21.650 --> 02:20:29.120 Lisa Redmond: That is important, and the showers that you see on third, they're nowhere else in Venice. People need those services 827 02:20:29.190 --> 02:20:31.300 Lisa Redmond: on in 828 02:20:32.360 --> 02:20:34.540 Lisa Redmond: pad is absolutely correct 829 02:20:34.650 --> 02:20:54.470 Lisa Redmond: that we know this rain didn't come out of nowhere like a tornado dropping out of the sky. They knew a week ahead of time. There's no reason why things can't be planned in advance for immediate emergency. Warming shelters in the word to get out or attend. Thrown up in the dot lot at at the end of South Venice. 830 02:20:55.000 --> 02:21:06.530 Lisa Redmond: These things are important, and we need to stress on that. And I thought there was a little too much Passing the buck to the county. Yes, everyone's accountable, but we didn't need to hear that so much tonight. Thank you. 831 02:21:08.380 --> 02:21:12.100 Vicki Halliday: Let's see here, Sunny box. Nice to see you Sunday. 832 02:21:14.450 --> 02:21:23.720 Sunny Bak: Hi! Good evening, everybody. I wanted to invite everybody to the March Sixteenth. Legendary women Artist of Venice awards. 833 02:21:23.880 --> 02:21:37.080 Sunny Bak: and you can get tickets on Venice. Our crawl.com we're going to honor our Venice local, Catherine Hardwick, the filmmaker, who did lodge of Lords of Dogtown and Artist Sandy Blafer 834 02:21:37.160 --> 02:21:46.860 Sunny Bak: and our beloved Edison stole from Venice Paparazzi. They are our legendary women, and I hope we can get some support from our community. 835 02:21:46.970 --> 02:21:50.320 Sunny Bak: Thank you so much, and I look forward to seeing you all. 836 02:21:50.520 --> 02:21:51.500 Vicki Halliday: Thanks, Sunny. 837 02:21:52.950 --> 02:21:56.040 Vicki Halliday: I don't see any other hands upfront. 838 02:21:56.290 --> 02:22:07.770 frank murphy: No, that looks like we're we're to the committee comments. Does the committee have any more. Input. Hmm. Pat. 839 02:22:08.620 --> 02:22:10.560 PatRaphael: Yes. So 840 02:22:10.590 --> 02:22:12.670 PatRaphael: I do want to stress guys 841 02:22:12.840 --> 02:22:16.540 PatRaphael: that when the weather gets really bad like this 842 02:22:16.730 --> 02:22:21.270 PatRaphael: it doesn't get bad too often. But when it does get bad like this. 843 02:22:21.420 --> 02:22:29.670 PatRaphael: people kind of become more open the consideration, and then this is often what 844 02:22:29.950 --> 02:22:31.720 PatRaphael: makes them decide 845 02:22:31.810 --> 02:22:39.790 PatRaphael: it's not worth it to even try to get help, because if, when it's needed, it's not available, then. 846 02:22:39.870 --> 02:22:45.850 PatRaphael: when it's not needed, people just kind of do without, and then pushing the encampments around 847 02:22:45.970 --> 02:22:50.050 PatRaphael: is what's resulted in 848 02:22:51.760 --> 02:22:55.800 PatRaphael: what we're seeing in South Venice. North Korea is 849 02:22:55.930 --> 02:22:59.380 PatRaphael: there. And I don't think that's gonna 850 02:22:59.550 --> 02:23:09.090 PatRaphael: That's gonna necessarily be something that goes away because those were the same a lot of times. Those were the same people that was on the board. Once I was at the library. That was a third street. 851 02:23:09.160 --> 02:23:21.940 PatRaphael: and then. Now there's somewhere where they're not going to get mess with as much. and that's how they end up there. So we gotta be more comprehensive, I think. Then just kind of pushing people around until neighbors stop completely. 852 02:23:23.400 --> 02:23:25.990 frank murphy: Yeah. Jody. 853 02:23:27.870 --> 02:23:31.080 Jody Mortimer: Thank you, Frank. I just wanted to to comment that I 854 02:23:31.190 --> 02:23:41.920 Jody Mortimer: I think the Council woman, Tracy Park, and Karen Bass, should get a fail for this first winter storm. It was definitely a fail. 855 02:23:42.010 --> 02:23:50.650 Jody Mortimer: They should have been ready for this. There should be a place where somebody can go to be able to call right now, and they should be able to get into at least a shelter 856 02:23:51.200 --> 02:24:00.530 Jody Mortimer: here in Venice or anywhere in the city. Now, for that matter, you don't even have a in the city for people that are out there right now in this country in this city. It's it's that's a fail. 857 02:24:00.920 --> 02:24:05.580 Jody Mortimer: It takes nothing to put a 10 up a big large 10 out. The military does it all the time. 858 02:24:07.390 --> 02:24:08.270 Jody Mortimer: Thanks. 859 02:24:09.130 --> 02:24:10.200 frank murphy: thanks, Jody. 860 02:24:15.550 --> 02:24:21.520 frank murphy: Okay. No other comments. The meetings adjourned 861 02:24:22.380 --> 02:24:26.130 frank murphy: really appreciate it. 862 02:24:26.150 --> 02:24:31.210 Jody Mortimer: Thanks. This was good meeting. Thank you.
