42
00:06:06.650 --> 00:06:11.020
Daffodil Tyminski: hold on 1 s. I have so many documents open. Okay.

45
00:06:34.970 --> 00:06:38.520
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, I don't know how this meeting got set up this way.

46
00:06:57.910 --> 00:07:09.390
Daffodil Tyminski: So maybe actually, just before we get started, there's a couple of points of information that are not really part of the meeting, but next month we'll go back in person. and it will be mandatory.

47
00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:13.660
Daffodil Tyminski: and we also.

48
00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:31.420
Daffodil Tyminski: you know it. We should just have a brief discussion at the end of the meeting as to how everyone feels about what we do at next month's meeting, if we want to have it the first week in April and go in person, or if people would prefer to be online, we could squeeze it in on the last day of March.

49
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:39.620
Daffodil Tyminski: or I guess not quite the last day, but at the end of March. But you know, at the end, let's have a brief discussion about also where we'd like to meet.

50
00:07:41.140 --> 00:07:45.130
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, great. So i'm gonna take minutes the old fashioned way. Here.

Daffodil Tyminski: okay. Great

65
00:08:34.150 --> 00:08:38.090
Daffodil Tyminski: Rita. One of you guys probably should just

66
00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:44.240
reta moser: mute or keep it on mute and just talk through. Maybe one device. I have it on mute.

67
00:08:45.260 --> 00:08:46.140
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

68
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:57.370
Daffodil Tyminski: thank you. And declaration of ex-party communications and conflicts of interest I put together the agenda, and I've spoken with everyone on all of these issues.

69
00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:00.410
Daffodil Tyminski: But does anyone else have any

70
00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:02.060
Daffodil Tyminski: conflicts of interest.

71
00:09:04.910 --> 00:09:07.870
Daffodil Tyminski: any ex-party communications on any of these issues?

72
00:09:10.110 --> 00:09:14.850
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, seeing no hands? If something you think of something as we're going through the agenda? Please let us know.

73
00:09:16.390 --> 00:09:19.670
Daffodil Tyminski: Let's take public comment on items, not on the agenda.

74
00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:30.900
Daffodil Tyminski: Do we have any public comment on anything that on the agenda we 1230, Shaun! Well. 1 2 3 4 5 5 people.

75
00:09:31.170 --> 00:09:33.720
Vicki Halliday: Okay, well done, and I will.

76
00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:41.830
Daffodil Tyminski: I can run this. It's just not. You don't have to be pro. I don't want to take up your morning on this Vicky. I can do it because there's just not a lot of folks.

77
00:09:42.290 --> 00:09:45.170
Vicki Halliday: Yeah, Can you run it, though, without being a host?

78
00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:52.240
Daffodil Tyminski: No, I can. I can call on people to comment, but I can't move the agenda because it's not my screen that's being shared.

79
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.030
Daffodil Tyminski: So I might just need you to kind of keep the

80
00:09:56.920 --> 00:10:02.550
Daffodil Tyminski: but seeing no hands going up for public comment. Let's close public comment and move on to old business.

81
00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:12.670
Daffodil Tyminski: old business. There's a couple of different things going on. I think, right now.

82
00:10:12.930 --> 00:10:29.170
Daffodil Tyminski: There's not concrete updates on anything, because there's so much going on in the Council Office, and with funding and things. you know, trying to figure out where to get funding and what to do with it. So I don't have significant updates. But does anyone else? I know there

83
00:10:29.770 --> 00:10:37.020
Daffodil Tyminski: some people who have been working on some of these things, too, and been talking to various folks. Does anyone have an update on anything?

84
00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:50.540
Charles Rosin: I just have a question about a follow up. I I always admire.

85
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.170
Charles Rosin: and it really bothered me that that convictable

86
00:10:55.390 --> 00:10:59.740
Daffodil Tyminski: Well, a pickle ball is still in play. By the way, it's just a matter of

87
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:13.710
Daffodil Tyminski: where to do it, how to do it. And I mean, I've been talking with those folks, and we basically all agreed that we should wait for Tracy to come in and wait for her to get her feet under.

88
00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:23.700
Daffodil Tyminski: Not that she doesn't have that, but I mean administratively. You know she's under staff. There's a just a lot going on, and she's got all these demands on her time as to her like main staffers at the moment.

89
00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:29.050
Daffodil Tyminski: So we have a pretty decent plan in place, I think, on how to get it done.

90
00:11:29.110 --> 00:11:40.250
Daffodil Tyminski: But with all of the other really urgent things going on, I mean, i'm sure you guys have all been following 41, 18, and a lot of the other kind of things that have been dumped into her lap.

91
00:11:40.270 --> 00:11:48.940
Daffodil Tyminski: She's trying to work out. You know I love pickle Ball really appreciate it, but I figured let's get like some staffing and funding worked out before we push that

92
00:11:49.290 --> 00:11:55.540
Daffodil Tyminski: that that community, by the way, is willing to self fund, and they're pretty dedicated to it. So

93
00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:59.940
Daffodil Tyminski: I do think, Chuck, it's going to happen. It's just a matter of where.

94
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.920
Daffodil Tyminski: and you know, happening in a way that's good for the neighborhood.

95
00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:09.530
Daffodil Tyminski: So likely somewhere in or around Penmar, or somewhere

96
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:14.280
Daffodil Tyminski: around the beach where there's not another activity currently taking place.

97
00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:30.070
Daffodil Tyminski: There are, as I understand it, a couple of sports and recreational developments that are going to happen down at the beach. Some of it is because of the Olympics. Some of it is just because it's been. It's really stuff that people wanted to do like 10 years ago. I just think the Council Office never supported it.

98
00:12:30.110 --> 00:12:34.340
Daffodil Tyminski: so i'd expect that there's going to be some renovations happening down there.

99
00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:47.040
Daffodil Tyminski: and this may be one of those things to go with it. But you know, we've actually heard from paddle tennis. They don't want to share the chords. Fine. A lot of tennis. Folks, including myself, would prefer not to be on tennis chords.

100
00:12:47.180 --> 00:12:48.400
Daffodil Tyminski: But

101
00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:56.350
Daffodil Tyminski: you know, and there is some development that needs to happen down there, anyway, to fix something. So I have it's going to be probably in one of those 2 places.

102
00:12:56.670 --> 00:12:58.110
Daffodil Tyminski: But i'll let you know.

103
00:12:58.800 --> 00:12:59.900
Charles Rosin: Okay, Thank you.

104
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:09.340
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So let's move on to Number 8 and 9, you know. 8 is Vicki. Could you scroll up, please a little bit and a little more

105
00:13:09.910 --> 00:13:12.920
Daffodil Tyminski: to get to the other page. It it it split pages.

106
00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:25.650
Daffodil Tyminski: This is not really a old business, except for the fact that we've been talking about the Olympics quite a bit. So I thought, taking these 2 together, were useful, and if if I could.

107
00:13:25.900 --> 00:13:31.440
Daffodil Tyminski: maybe Vicki do the next second one, first number 9, I think it is.

108
00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:35.740
Daffodil Tyminski: We had talked about this.

109
00:13:38.380 --> 00:13:51.630
Daffodil Tyminski: We had talked about this over a year ago, I think, and Chuck and Felicia, you know this has come up a couple of times. I know you guys have had some experience with the Olympics in the past, and we had a you know, a couple of discussions about it.

110
00:13:51.750 --> 00:13:59.460
Daffodil Tyminski: Tracy's established a working group specifically to explore, putting more Olympic sites into CD. 11.

111
00:13:59.520 --> 00:14:09.060
Daffodil Tyminski: I think a few of you were probably at the lunch at the waterfront where she had talked about. You know she found out that Venice is not even in the tourism.

112
00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:14.480
Daffodil Tyminski: like list of places, to have events and conventions and things like that.

113
00:14:15.020 --> 00:14:24.440
Daffodil Tyminski: So I think there's going to be some movement that way. Chuck or Felicia. Have you spoken with anyone in the Council office about this.

114
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.720
Charles Rosin: if you want my truthful answer, the Council Office that prefers not to speak to me right now.

115
00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:33.610
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay?

116
00:14:33.970 --> 00:14:35.340
Daffodil Tyminski: Well.

117
00:14:35.430 --> 00:14:50.160
Charles Rosin: that's what happens when you sue the city of Los Angeles, and your council woman is Rep. Works for the city of Los Angeles, so understood. So i'm not talking to that office about anything. Even my friend Jamie. Unfortunately.

118
00:14:50.520 --> 00:15:03.470
Daffodil Tyminski: I've spent this week in Miami with Doj, and the whole topic has been negotiating tricky representations and conflicts. When you have something going with an organization

119
00:15:03.530 --> 00:15:05.280
Daffodil Tyminski: really interesting area of law.

120
00:15:06.290 --> 00:15:12.850
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay? Well, if you know that the we'll follow up on that individual

121
00:15:13.790 --> 00:15:17.040
Charles Rosin: to our mutual friend, George Francisco.

122
00:15:17.190 --> 00:15:20.460
Charles Rosin: about trying to ramp up.

123
00:15:20.490 --> 00:15:35.980
Charles Rosin: I guess he's got his the the that they they had an event last summer about sports on the beach, and whatever yeah, and that to use something and basically start, maybe having a task force. Talk about it. I don't think we can get it ready for this summer.

124
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:43.130
Charles Rosin: But for the next 4. So if the summers leading up to the games have something called Venice games

125
00:15:43.690 --> 00:15:50.620
Charles Rosin: and not just it's not just. My My concept is not just oriented to the athletics.

126
00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:58.310
Charles Rosin: but also lots of stuff for kids in the neighborhood which I see. One of the things is about that as well at the gate.

127
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:08.870
Charles Rosin: but also that it's kind of tied into a party in the night over the days of the game, so that we can get some of our bars and activities and and things like that as well

128
00:16:08.900 --> 00:16:22.860
Charles Rosin: to kind of snub our nose and say, Look. you know also, I think it's a good thing for Venice, because we have to re-established our image as a place. You want it. You want to be and have people want you to be there, so I think it. It can really fit for us.

129
00:16:22.890 --> 00:16:33.230
Charles Rosin: and I would have been bringing it to the your attention earlier that what I've been thinking about, but I I guess I should wait till after the your V and the election here.

130
00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:42.800
Charles Rosin: That's the only thing that is kept me from getting back in touch with you about it. I talked to George. George was, so I asked him to put me on his Sports Day Committee.

131
00:16:43.050 --> 00:17:01.680
Charles Rosin: so that I can develop this for the future years and things. But I think it would be a fun thing, and maybe something this committee would want to really get involved with, because it has a especially with tracing on the tourism committee is about or heading it. Excuse me, it's about time that Venice took back. It's.

132
00:17:02.050 --> 00:17:04.390
Charles Rosin: This is the place you want to come to.

133
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:17.980
Charles Rosin: And this is the place you do come to, even if the city doesn't like us and does and ignores us so well. Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, look, this is near and dear to my heart. George and I both played division, one sports and college and

134
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.680
Daffodil Tyminski: field, hockey and lacrosse. but mostly feel not in college. I only played across my freshman year.

135
00:17:23.910 --> 00:17:26.660
Daffodil Tyminski: Good for you

136
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:41.400
Daffodil Tyminski: and what we, because of it. We both spent a lifetime like coaching, you know, volunteering for sports, and you know I've done a ton for women's and sports and that kind of stuff. So I'm. You know how this whole came about was, and why don't we go back, Vicki, to Number 8

137
00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:46.870
Daffodil Tyminski: and Vicki? Why don't you stop sharing and let me share on mine

138
00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:50.400
Daffodil Tyminski: because we're all going through your emails right now.

139
00:17:51.430 --> 00:17:55.270
Charles Rosin: Yeah, how's it going? Yeah. you go?

140
00:17:55.540 --> 00:17:57.100
Charles Rosin: Oh, okay.

141
00:17:58.870 --> 00:18:07.290
Daffodil Tyminski: So how this all came about was. I do volunteer for some sports organizations, and some of them are in Venice, and

142
00:18:07.630 --> 00:18:09.200
Daffodil Tyminski: they.

143
00:18:09.790 --> 00:18:24.150
Daffodil Tyminski: i'm sort of on the look out a lot for things happening that could help them, particularly finding sources of funding. And I came across this board of Recreation Parks motion and scroll up Vicki. Please, Just a little bit more sorry.

144
00:18:24.310 --> 00:18:25.120
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

145
00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:30.990
Daffodil Tyminski: And that is as many of you may know.

146
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:39.580
Daffodil Tyminski: So actually, for officially for the agenda purposes and running the meeting, let's call Item Number 8 and go to that first. And yeah, that's where we are.

147
00:18:39.950 --> 00:18:46.800
Daffodil Tyminski: So it was part of the memorandum of Understanding with the Olympic Committee.

148
00:18:46.810 --> 00:18:58.250
Daffodil Tyminski: The La 28 agreed to fund up to 160 milliondollars for use sports programming leading up to the Olympics. It's both for the youth, sports and paralympics

149
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:07.490
Daffodil Tyminski: and chuck to your point. The whole idea was, if we were going to host the games, we would get some infrastructure investment

150
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:18.810
Daffodil Tyminski: back into our communities. Now, the Parks Department and I put this online in the Neighborhood Committee page. If If someone wants to take a look at it, you can see the actual

151
00:19:18.990 --> 00:19:26.090
Daffodil Tyminski: motion that they're making. and they've identified a whole number of sites throughout Los Angeles.

152
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:36.050
Daffodil Tyminski: I'll tell you they identified very few sites in Venice, and I know we're small, but there's a lot of money being steered into a lot of programs all over the city.

153
00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:42.150
Daffodil Tyminski: and they've specified programs for different places in Venice they actually have not

154
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:50.060
Daffodil Tyminski: identified or comm commitment to any specific area except they have identified Penmar Oakwood.

155
00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:57.510
Daffodil Tyminski: the Venice Beach recreation on the the ocean front walk basically and

156
00:19:57.610 --> 00:20:12.780
Daffodil Tyminski: one other site. I'm trying to think where it was in Venice to all be on the list of places where activations could happen for youth and paralympic sports programming. And so there's about 18 million dollars. Odd, that is going to be allocated.

157
00:20:12.820 --> 00:20:26.440
Daffodil Tyminski: But there's no mandate right now. Let it go to Venice. That being said, some of the things that it's allocated for are going to be for soccer programs that already are occurring at Oakland.

158
00:20:26.820 --> 00:20:41.460
Daffodil Tyminski: We're soccer programs and soccer programs already occurred. Oakwood, so I have a feeling that money will go there and then for surf and skate programs, and Venice is the leading surface gate venue. So I imagine some of this will filter down. But I thought

159
00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:53.040
Daffodil Tyminski: we, as Venice should get involved and support, this particularly since it's time-sensitive, and we're on the right cycle timing cycle. So let me read the motion and then we can take some public comment and discuss it.

160
00:20:53.230 --> 00:21:05.580
Daffodil Tyminski: The motion, says the Neighborhood Committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council submit a Cis statement. Community impact statement in support of Council File 150989 S. 1 9, in which

161
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:17.430
Daffodil Tyminski: the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners Board respectfully requests City Council, authorize the Department of Recreation, and Parks approve our ap's. Fiscal year, 2,02324 project plan

162
00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:20.620
Daffodil Tyminski: to authorize.

163
00:21:20.730 --> 00:21:40.260
Daffodil Tyminski: you know. There's a typo here I think it's in the original. Authorize our Ap. To accept and receive a funding allocation from the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2,020 olympic and paralympic games La, 2,028 in the amount of $18,465,802 as outlined in the fiscal year, 2,02324 project plan.

164
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.680
Daffodil Tyminski: and that project plan is on the Vnc website. Can I have someone make the motion?

165
00:21:48.100 --> 00:21:49.430
Charles Rosin: I'll make a promotion.

166
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:52.760
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, check, do with someone. Second.

167
00:21:53.290 --> 00:21:58.870
reta moser: Gonna Okay. Is that Rita? Noly. Oh, you only okay.

168
00:21:59.300 --> 00:22:00.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Hold on one. Sec.

169
00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:14.050
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So i'd love to take some public comment on this. If anyone has any. please raise your hands and Helen go ahead.

170
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:28.530
Helen Fallon: Oh, hi! Good morning. I actually look through what you had posted as the backup supporting document. And well, it was difficult to read. It seems to me they're accepting this 18 million dollars, and they've already allocated.

171
00:22:28.970 --> 00:22:34.460
Helen Fallon: So I think that the real issue is

172
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:45.500
Helen Fallon: finding out how you get into the next round of money, and looking at what the needs are because it it read to me, and I didn't do a deep dive, but it sure look like

173
00:22:45.580 --> 00:22:50.410
Helen Fallon: they've already decided how this money is going to be spent, and that's part of your project plan.

174
00:22:50.530 --> 00:22:59.340
Helen Fallon: and that we were sort of in the second tier. Or maybe that was what here we're in. But but there wasn't a lot of significant changes of improvements, and

175
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:04.790
Helen Fallon: I would argue that one of the things that seriously should be improved is our cool.

176
00:23:04.810 --> 00:23:10.540
Helen Fallon: you know, that is shared between la Us and the city, so that we actually have a

177
00:23:11.130 --> 00:23:23.790
Helen Fallon: a pool that is usable for this, you know, for Venice. But I I I mean I I don't know that supporting this one where the other makes any difference. I think they're accepting the money. They're not turning it down.

178
00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:28.390
Helen Fallon: So those are my comments, and maybe somebody could look into

179
00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:35.480
Helen Fallon: how we get on the list, or what what our priorities becoming does, or we should be asking for for our Venice.

180
00:23:36.580 --> 00:23:37.470
Helen Fallon: Thank you.

181
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.620
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Helen.

182
00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:48.880
reta moser: Does anyone else have anything? Yes, me Wait, Yolanda, let's let me just close them Public comment, because no one else has their hand raised.

183
00:23:48.930 --> 00:23:51.360
Daffodil Tyminski: Go go ahead, Yolanda.

184
00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:53.680
reta moser: Yes, yes.

185
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:58.280
reta moser: I want to see. So wait. I think

186
00:23:58.860 --> 00:24:00.670
Daffodil Tyminski: you'll want to try again.

187
00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:03.210
reta moser: Can you hear me?

188
00:24:03.450 --> 00:24:06.050
Daffodil Tyminski: Yes, but you're echoing.

189
00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:18.460
Daffodil Tyminski: Why, don't you turn your phone off, and I can see you with Rita right there You're being recorded on the zoom. So why don't you just drop off your phone call and speak through Rita's

190
00:24:18.540 --> 00:24:19.580
Daffodil Tyminski: computer.

191
00:24:25.430 --> 00:24:26.300
Absolutely.

192
00:24:38.890 --> 00:24:39.820
Daffodil Tyminski: Yolanda.

193
00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:51.410
Daffodil Tyminski: let me go back to the board you'll want. I just hang on a second. Let's take check. Why, don't you make your comment

194
00:24:52.350 --> 00:25:06.950
Charles Rosin: right? I so with that 18 million dollars I'm. I'm. Assuming that the reason that Venice Isn't mentioned, and that 18 million dollars is because, you know, Mike would have never given us a cent of that money.

195
00:25:07.270 --> 00:25:12.630
Charles Rosin: But so hopefully, Tracy, if there is a second phase, or she can

196
00:25:12.800 --> 00:25:30.840
Charles Rosin: on on theoretically on our behalf in the city and the and the neighborhood councils. You know we we should be part of this that that Venice is. I remember reading it in the beginning, and it couldn't believe that Venice would be excluded. But of course, of course I could believe it given what our representation was.

197
00:25:30.870 --> 00:25:41.590
Charles Rosin: So that's that's what I want to say relative to that, and we we should be. We should be pushing, and we should be definitely part of the festivities. Because then it's

198
00:25:41.710 --> 00:25:49.000
Charles Rosin: yeah, unlike 1,984 is a real important part of the of of the dynamic of the city of Los Angeles.

199
00:25:49.570 --> 00:25:50.260
Daffodil Tyminski: Yup

200
00:25:51.210 --> 00:25:54.230
Daffodil Tyminski: Rita. Did you wanna

201
00:25:54.240 --> 00:26:04.890
reta moser: speak, or Yolanda. Do you want to speak no longer? Wants to speak now? Okay, I got. I got it off. I just wanted to say that

202
00:26:05.610 --> 00:26:09.340
reta moser: my yacht Club, which is a Blue Collar Worker Yacht Club.

203
00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:15.270
reta moser: has joined the Venice Chamber of Commerce because we want to bring in sailing.

204
00:26:15.340 --> 00:26:24.320
reta moser: which is an Olympic sport, and we want to encourage young kids from Venice to get involved with us in the sailing activity.

205
00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:26.130
reta moser: And

206
00:26:26.590 --> 00:26:33.330
reta moser: I want to encourage more participation of people who, because we have a very dynamic.

207
00:26:33.430 --> 00:26:50.860
reta moser: a group of stakeholders in which we speak different languages. Spanish, Ukrainian: yeah, we're all American stuff. But let's keep it that way. Yeah, but in in that's very important that we we we we can

208
00:26:50.860 --> 00:27:07.180
reta moser: reach out to people. And so I just wanted to encourage also the sport of sailing, which is a dynamic sport in the Olympics, and I have worked with 3 and 3 Olympics out of Mexico, starting from Mexico City. So

209
00:27:07.230 --> 00:27:25.880
reta moser: there's many ways to approach it. I even went into the website of the Olympics. There's a lot of websites of applications for different items to be a participant in. So I think we should continue to do that, and maybe we can find our way in to really

210
00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:34.110
reta moser: bring up the the the Olympics as a community we presentation. Thank you

211
00:27:34.530 --> 00:27:36.080
Daffodil Tyminski: all right, thank you.

212
00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:47.820
Darryl DuFay: I don't see any other hands raised on the committee, and I do see it again. It's Darrell here. I would like to see my picture. How do I do that?

213
00:27:47.950 --> 00:27:50.760
reta moser: Are you on your computer? I am

214
00:27:50.830 --> 00:28:00.000
Daffodil Tyminski: so at the bottom left hand side of your screen. If you hover your pointer over it, it should say mute, and then stop Video.

215
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:09.000
Daffodil Tyminski: right? I bet your stop video has a red line the going through it. That's correct. So click on that, and the red line will come off and we will then get to see you.

216
00:28:13.970 --> 00:28:14.810
Darryl DuFay: Well.

217
00:28:15.010 --> 00:28:17.520
Darryl DuFay: i'm clicking on it.

218
00:28:18.990 --> 00:28:26.020
Charles Rosin: There you go. Okay, Yes, I'll raise my hand now. Okay.

219
00:28:26.290 --> 00:28:28.310
Darryl DuFay: I my

220
00:28:28.330 --> 00:28:34.420
Darryl DuFay: I. But in terms of the input we've had, I think we should respond to this

221
00:28:35.190 --> 00:28:43.930
Darryl DuFay: for sure, so they can tell us that we're not able to get any money now, but we could could get some money.

222
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:53.350
Darryl DuFay: so for whatever reason we should say Yes, of course we should bring to their attention. We want to be included.

223
00:28:54.290 --> 00:28:57.670
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Great. Thank you, Cassie.

224
00:28:59.090 --> 00:29:04.830
cassie: Hi. Good morning, Daryl: Keep sending the emails. That's the only thing I had to mention.

225
00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:07.380
cassie: I always appreciate the updates.

226
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:13.780
Daffodil Tyminski: So normally we take public comment, close it, and then let the committee

227
00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:26.350
Daffodil Tyminski: committee talk, and the public can't speak. But in the interest of this being a committee, we have someone on the line who, I know is fairly new with the Neighborhood Council system, and may not know those protocols.

228
00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:32.290
Daffodil Tyminski: So, Steve, Why, Don't, Why, Don't, we reopen public comment and allow you to make your comment, and then we'll close it again.

229
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.480
Daffodil Tyminski: So. or if we use your hand up accidentally.

230
00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:39.780
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, hold on.

231
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:42.580
Daffodil Tyminski: You should be able to talk

232
00:29:42.600 --> 00:29:55.220
Steve Bradbury: great. Thank you. I I appreciate that I just. I I know I know the rules are just to listen to this conversation. It it it raised a thought for me, and I have not read the proposal, so I I may be asking this out of ignorance.

233
00:29:55.360 --> 00:30:06.420
Steve Bradbury: Does the city or the Olympic Committee provide for any activities that get based in Venice? Do they provide appropriate levels of security?

234
00:30:06.670 --> 00:30:16.740
Steve Bradbury: And is it L. A. Pd. Is it Olympic Committee is? In other words, if we're going to have a lot more people coming here for an event, whether it's at the Skate Park, or wherever

235
00:30:17.070 --> 00:30:26.680
Steve Bradbury: is there going to be appropriate levels of security to enforce enforce rules and make sure that we're not all overrun as residents.

236
00:30:26.860 --> 00:30:29.240
Daffodil Tyminski: Right? Thank you.

237
00:30:30.130 --> 00:30:38.530
Daffodil Tyminski: Let me. So we're gonna close public comment and let me try to address some of these, because some of these things I can answer almost

238
00:30:38.730 --> 00:31:00.070
Daffodil Tyminski: so, just to break this down. This is just about. This is not about having the Olympics here. But this is the first step, I think, to getting the community ready to have an Olympic venue here, so issues like security and things like that that are gonna happen at the Olympics is a conversation still to be had, and I think a couple of years in the future.

239
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:17.890
Daffodil Tyminski: This is really to support having the plan for funding for the youth programs and the other things that are really community benefits that are ancillary to the games, but things that as the host city we were committed to receive, we we people committed to for us to receive.

240
00:31:18.250 --> 00:31:32.440
Daffodil Tyminski: So it's. This is a bit of a no brainer like who would say, No, let's not give money to youth programs for kids that they're out, anyway. But really the reason why I put this on here to touch on a couple of things is that Venice has been left out of this conversation.

241
00:31:32.810 --> 00:31:38.720
Daffodil Tyminski: Helen, if you go back through that really long supporting document from parks and racks

242
00:31:39.090 --> 00:31:44.880
Daffodil Tyminski: there are, there is, by the way, mention of the Venice Pool that was the other side I couldn't remember.

243
00:31:45.100 --> 00:31:46.280
Daffodil Tyminski: and

244
00:31:46.380 --> 00:32:01.220
Daffodil Tyminski: in some places there's no money allocated, although it does say these are the number of programs that could be supported, or I think the number of people, or teams, or whatever that could be supported, like, say, Oakwood could support 21 programs or something like that

245
00:32:02.020 --> 00:32:06.520
Daffodil Tyminski: and then they're not part of the tally. But then

246
00:32:07.150 --> 00:32:27.030
Daffodil Tyminski: at the as you go deep into it, like 50 pages into it. There is a mention that there have been programs in the past in Venice that would be successful, and they want to reactivate them with this funding going forward. So I spoke to someone at Parks and Rex. And my understanding is. This is a typical city like. They have this really specific amount of information that they're trying to get.

247
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:44.290
Daffodil Tyminski: And then once it's allocated, they're then going to figure out how to deploy it across the city. And again, as Chuck mentioned, You know we've been purposely shut out of any of this before. I think we will probably have a chance to get back in the mix and try to get some of this funding

248
00:32:44.550 --> 00:32:46.130
Daffodil Tyminski: to Venice.

249
00:32:46.450 --> 00:32:55.280
Daffodil Tyminski: It. It appears to me that, at least for the beach programs, the surface gate, which have been operated there before they intend to do the same thing.

250
00:32:55.590 --> 00:33:04.810
Daffodil Tyminski: I also have worked quite a lot with you. Soccer Invent us, and they already are. They're also working on

251
00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:09.000
Daffodil Tyminski: having some of this funding. Go to them as well and open.

252
00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:10.090
Daffodil Tyminski: so

253
00:33:10.330 --> 00:33:17.090
Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know about the pool. But again I just think we need to get into this conversation because we've been out of it for a while.

254
00:33:17.650 --> 00:33:18.970
Daffodil Tyminski: Go ahead. Chuck

255
00:33:19.450 --> 00:33:25.080
Charles Rosin: I just what what? Somebody told me something recently. I think it might have been George, actually that one of the

256
00:33:25.280 --> 00:33:34.200
Charles Rosin: you know determinations, and why venues were picked or in in the preliminary thing. The Why, la

257
00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:37.240
Charles Rosin: 28 did it a certain way.

258
00:33:37.290 --> 00:33:43.520
Charles Rosin: What the olympic committee was most interested in this falls into stuff that Steve had brought up

259
00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:59.840
Charles Rosin: was not only security, but mostly relationship to the for typical la kind of the relationship to the freeway relationship to transportation, and that was the official reason why Venice wasn't

260
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.110
Charles Rosin: that it would have been better that it'd be better for the

261
00:34:03.850 --> 00:34:19.489
Charles Rosin: access purposes; that if you had a good skate thing down in let's, and i'm being random here, let's say, like Huntington beach or co beach, or Long Beach. It's easier to get to than Venice. So that had been a lot of the determination.

262
00:34:19.489 --> 00:34:24.840
Charles Rosin: theoretically, about the where the venues for the actual events are

263
00:34:25.010 --> 00:34:29.440
Charles Rosin: which I didn't know. But I I just wanted to share that with the group here.

264
00:34:29.850 --> 00:34:46.800
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, that's a great. That's a great point, I think, with the Olympics. If you've ever been to the Olympics. There's so much that happens that's not at an event per se, right? So everyone is maybe watching the snowboarding finals. But there's a lot that is done for communities around there that support

265
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:56.409
Daffodil Tyminski: each of those events. And so, even if Venice Doesn't get, say, the surf competition, or whatever I'm. I'm not even sure surfers would want to be competing to.

266
00:34:56.590 --> 00:35:05.850
Daffodil Tyminski: No. But I mean just because there are some, you know, probably more reliable places elsewhere in Southern California.

267
00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:13.360
Daffodil Tyminski: So it's really about, even if there's not an event here per se, us being included in the investment.

268
00:35:13.670 --> 00:35:29.870
Daffodil Tyminski: Right? That's what this is all about. It's trying to get You know it'd be great to redo the fields at Oakwood, and have flat fields at Penmar the 84 Olympics had that I I i'm sure that the you know Daryl or Rita might remember this. They had a big arts program.

269
00:35:29.870 --> 00:35:43.540
Charles Rosin: I know we didn't go to any of the games, but we would. To the Geffen Theater we went downtown. There were lots of different things that were inspired by the Olympics. I hope this committee can get that to get that aspect of our town together as well.

270
00:35:43.770 --> 00:35:47.510
Daffodil Tyminski: Right? Okay, Well, let's in the interest of time. Let's take a vote.

271
00:35:47.940 --> 00:35:51.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Let me just run down the list

272
00:35:51.720 --> 00:35:52.700
Daffodil Tyminski: Here.

273
00:35:54.260 --> 00:35:56.690
Daffodil Tyminski: Jeremy, how do you vote?

274
00:35:58.210 --> 00:35:59.330
Jeremy Loeb: I vote? Yes.

275
00:36:02.130 --> 00:36:03.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Yolanda, how do you vote?

276
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:04.660
reta moser: Yes.

277
00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:06.880
Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia. Yes.

278
00:36:06.990 --> 00:36:08.620
Charles Rosin: Chat. Yes.

279
00:36:08.630 --> 00:36:09.470
Daffodil Tyminski: Carol.

280
00:36:09.510 --> 00:36:10.460
Darryl DuFay: Yes.

281
00:36:10.530 --> 00:36:12.150
cassie: Cassie. Yes.

282
00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:13.280
Daffodil Tyminski: And Rita.

283
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:14.110
reta moser: Yes.

284
00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:15.950
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, great. Okay.

285
00:36:16.070 --> 00:36:21.080
Daffodil Tyminski: Alright, so then let's move on with all of that wind up in preamble to Number 9.

286
00:36:21.210 --> 00:36:32.180
Daffodil Tyminski: Vicki. Could you put that up? Thank you. Okay. So we have talked about this before. I just now, with Tracy focusing on it, wanted to reactivate this. So

287
00:36:32.350 --> 00:36:34.210
Daffodil Tyminski: it goes to the B and C.

288
00:36:34.650 --> 00:36:44.740
Daffodil Tyminski: The motion. Here is the Neighborhood Committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council request that the CD. 11 Olympic working group look at citing La 28 activities in Venice.

289
00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:49.410
Daffodil Tyminski: Could someone please make the motion?

290
00:36:50.140 --> 00:36:51.040
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

291
00:36:51.490 --> 00:36:54.970
Daffodil Tyminski: and do I have a second.

292
00:36:55.650 --> 00:36:56.890
Daffodil Tyminski: Jeremy. Okay.

293
00:36:59.660 --> 00:37:02.970
Jeremy Loeb: So let's take some public comment.

294
00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:05.430
Daffodil Tyminski: Steve. Why don't you go first.

295
00:37:07.560 --> 00:37:08.720
Steve Bradbury: No, I I

296
00:37:08.950 --> 00:37:14.870
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Sorry. That must be from before Shawn. Let me allow you to talk.

297
00:37:15.430 --> 00:37:16.450
Daffodil Tyminski: Go ahead, Shawn.

298
00:37:17.370 --> 00:37:24.790
Sean Obrien: Hi, guys. Oh, yeah, really Great, that you guys put this on the agenda ever since it came out

299
00:37:24.870 --> 00:37:39.910
Sean Obrien: that we were excluded. I thought what a travesty I said. if it wasn't for Venice there would be no skateboarding. Skateboarding would not be an Olympic event it would it just wouldn't have happened.

300
00:37:40.120 --> 00:37:49.850
Sean Obrien: and this will be only the second time that skateboarding is an Olympic event, and it'll obviously, you know, the first time coming to to La.

301
00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:50.900
Sean Obrien: and

302
00:37:51.370 --> 00:37:55.140
Sean Obrien: to be like, shun like that. We with the history

303
00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:06.960
Sean Obrien: it's just it's just appalling. It's just. and I would love if you could work it in the motion all about like the activities and emphasize the skateboarding.

304
00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:13.620
Sean Obrien: It's not necessary. But I don't think the people

305
00:38:13.650 --> 00:38:21.520
Sean Obrien: you know, and who are working on this understand the history that Ben is played, and having this become an Olympic event

306
00:38:23.120 --> 00:38:36.690
Sean Obrien: with the the other things, you know. It'd be nice if we could have like, because of Muscle Beach and Venice, if we can have weightlifting. And I agree with you, Launda. With the sailing and water activities

307
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:43.320
Sean Obrien: we have the single largest Man-made Marina and the entire west coast

308
00:38:43.340 --> 00:38:51.670
Sean Obrien: of all the Americas, and to not have any sailing activities. Here is also another travesty.

309
00:38:51.700 --> 00:39:00.250
Sean Obrien: I agree with you. Surfing right now. Venice might not be the same point as the you know, might not be the best place for surfing.

310
00:39:00.430 --> 00:39:07.720
Sean Obrien: but definitely the sailing activities and weightlifting. But

311
00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:20.720
Sean Obrien: if nothing else, it's gotta be skateboarding. And if you need to do another motion later, just based, you know, at a different month different time, just based on skateboarding and dealing with the history.

312
00:39:23.050 --> 00:39:25.870
Sean Obrien: I think that'd be great. And thank you. Yeah, I don't know.

313
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:30.550
Daffodil Tyminski: Awesome. Thank you. Anyone else for public comment.

314
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:42.430
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, so we will close public comment and and shot. If you wouldn't mind putting your hand down, i'm trying to do it. So there we go

315
00:39:42.870 --> 00:39:48.670
Daffodil Tyminski: and let's go to board. Comment committee. Comment is, anyone on the committee have anything on this?

316
00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:58.890
reta moser: Is it too late that we create? This is Yolanda. Is it too late that we create a committee, an Olympic committee and Tourism committee

317
00:39:59.410 --> 00:40:04.790
reta moser: to be added to our share of responsibilities.

318
00:40:05.670 --> 00:40:13.200
reta moser: And even even even though elections are coming up, it moves forward. But we can start really putting together.

319
00:40:13.220 --> 00:40:15.610
reta moser: I'm sure that there's a lot of

320
00:40:15.650 --> 00:40:20.430
reta moser: kids out there and people out there that really want to participate in this.

321
00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:24.500
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Daryl: go ahead.

322
00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:30.240
Darryl DuFay: Yes, I just wanted to comment on Shawn's wonderful statements

323
00:40:31.770 --> 00:40:41.410
Darryl DuFay: Dennis has been. There is still Venice in terms of the City Council Hasn't been for about 6 years.

324
00:40:41.780 --> 00:40:47.750
Darryl DuFay: and what we're doing, an effect is saying the problems that dawn and has created

325
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.880
Darryl DuFay: by ignoring us. And i'm so glad that things like this come up.

326
00:40:53.290 --> 00:40:57.320
Darryl DuFay: People see it. Shawn makes common. I think it's a great idea

327
00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:02.480
Daffodil Tyminski: awesome. Thank you. Anyone else.

328
00:41:03.060 --> 00:41:15.670
Charles Rosin: Yes, I'd like to also think Shawn and and and and and support what he's talking about, because I think that they really, realistically, in terms of competition.

329
00:41:15.850 --> 00:41:40.080
Charles Rosin: or even some aspect of competition. Skating is where we have a chance to make some moves. I I you know the other sports, even something like, oh, where we have weightlifting. Yeah. But where the weightlifter is going to be while they're waiting, and there's no bathroom to all sorts of things that maybe Long Beach has. We don't know what the other places have, and and brought to La 28,

330
00:41:40.080 --> 00:41:55.590
Charles Rosin: but certainly, if we can get it in in in. you know, in the competition; and if if our skate here would be great, and certainly I think Bob Carlson would have some influence in that, or at least some things to say about that.

331
00:41:55.950 --> 00:42:16.280
Charles Rosin: But at the same time it's it's what has been brought up with what you had just said, that there's really a lot of things, and that's what my whole prop the idea of the Venice games is about is to take advantage of. Okay, these games, the the Olympics are going over all all over the city. But where you really want to be is in, because

332
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:24.940
Charles Rosin: we're going to be doing this, and then send this in this and this and the during these times in these days. You know that kind of counter programming that

333
00:42:25.090 --> 00:42:26.260
Charles Rosin: that that

334
00:42:26.580 --> 00:42:37.040
Charles Rosin: addresses what Darrow a. A. I think directly brought up, which is that we and he knows I'm. I'm. You know all over this that we we've been ignored for 6 to 7 years.

335
00:42:37.380 --> 00:42:42.780
Charles Rosin: I think that's the worst part of the bottom legacy is we just were ignored on every single level.

336
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:51.510
Charles Rosin: And and here's one that that the the city will will benefit if we can get ourselves back into it and and bring some fun to the party.

337
00:42:51.810 --> 00:42:52.570
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah.

338
00:42:53.940 --> 00:43:08.250
Daffodil Tyminski: Great? Well, we have time to write the ship on this because the Olympics are still a little off. So that's great. I think I prefer to keep this broad for the moment, and I do think there's we have talked about doing an Olympic and Tourism committee, and I think it's very important.

339
00:43:08.540 --> 00:43:20.530
Daffodil Tyminski: But I also think that the Council Office is spending some time trying to get this together, and I would personally suggest that we not form our own committee until

340
00:43:20.630 --> 00:43:25.390
Daffodil Tyminski: they have understood. You know what they're going to be doing.

341
00:43:25.520 --> 00:43:28.110
Daffodil Tyminski: I'm just so. We're not running across purposes, but

342
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:32.610
Daffodil Tyminski: it definitely should be done. You know Tracy is on the Tourism

343
00:43:32.790 --> 00:43:39.700
Daffodil Tyminski: committee at the City Council, and not only because of lax, but I think, in large part because of Venice. So

344
00:43:39.710 --> 00:43:42.320
Daffodil Tyminski: we should be in that conversation.

345
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.250
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So, seeing no more hands, let's take a vote.

346
00:43:47.270 --> 00:43:49.450
Daffodil Tyminski: Let me go back here.

347
00:43:51.370 --> 00:43:55.980
Jeremy Loeb: Jeremy, how do you vote. Yolanda? Yes.

348
00:43:56.210 --> 00:43:57.150
Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia.

349
00:43:57.170 --> 00:43:58.190
felicia s: Yes.

350
00:43:58.650 --> 00:44:00.330
Charles Rosin: yes.

351
00:44:00.600 --> 00:44:01.490
Daffodil Tyminski: Cheryl.

352
00:44:01.620 --> 00:44:02.520
Darryl DuFay: Yes.

353
00:44:02.870 --> 00:44:04.700
cassie: Cassie. Yes.

354
00:44:04.950 --> 00:44:05.800
Daffodil Tyminski: And Rita.

355
00:44:05.810 --> 00:44:06.570
reta moser: Yes.

356
00:44:07.150 --> 00:44:13.630
Daffodil Tyminski: fantastic. Okay, Great Vicki. Would you mind scrolling down to new business?

357
00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:29.040
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, so this is a it's in some ways a complicated issue. Thank you, Lily, for bringing us this to our attention.

358
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:35.520
Daffodil Tyminski: As everybody knows who's seen Chinatown, we get a lot of our water from north of here in the

359
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:37.070
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, and Sally

360
00:44:37.230 --> 00:44:52.070
Daffodil Tyminski: and one of the sources for our water is Mono Lake, and, as I understand it, the powers, the the environmental activists in and around that area have been trying to halt water supply to La for some time.

361
00:44:52.070 --> 00:45:00.870
Daffodil Tyminski: and there his controversy has arisen over, whether supplying water to La will somehow endanger a single population that nest there.

362
00:45:01.310 --> 00:45:08.890
Daffodil Tyminski: So you know, i'm sure there's valid points on all sides. But really, I think what this comes down to is

363
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:23.780
Daffodil Tyminski: if they halt water supply to Los Angeles. we all are going to pay a lot more for water, because we would have to be taking it from other current sources that are already very stressed.

364
00:45:24.330 --> 00:45:28.010
Daffodil Tyminski: So this is coming up soon.

365
00:45:28.180 --> 00:45:31.670
Daffodil Tyminski: There is a waterboard

366
00:45:32.180 --> 00:45:45.210
Daffodil Tyminski: meeting on March seventeenth, and the request was that we address this issue so that we can have a public comment. They don't, I think, use community impact statements because it's the water board. But at least have our Council

367
00:45:45.510 --> 00:45:50.100
Daffodil Tyminski: on record a commenting that they not cut off our water supply.

368
00:45:50.500 --> 00:46:01.000
Daffodil Tyminski: And so to that end the motion is. And, by the way, there are some things on the website, and you only you sent me that thing yesterday that I believe I posted on the website.

369
00:46:01.010 --> 00:46:15.940
Daffodil Tyminski: I got it myself just yesterday, it all just showing up. So i'm sending you okay, I've just been running around with work stuff, so I didn't have a chance to you see it to see if it actually got it on. But yeah, if it's not, i'll get it up there. It was another article for everyone about this.

370
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:17.270
Daffodil Tyminski: but here's the motion.

371
00:46:17.560 --> 00:46:30.930
Daffodil Tyminski: The Neighborhood Committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council submit public comment to the State Water Board, Mono Lake at Waterboards Ca by March seventeenth, 2,023, objecting to the halting of water supply to Los Angeles for Mono Lake.

372
00:46:31.190 --> 00:46:35.170
Daffodil Tyminski: Try to keep it simple. Could somebody please make the motion?

373
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:36.690
reta moser: I make a motion?

374
00:46:37.750 --> 00:46:40.680
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, do we have a second?

375
00:46:46.030 --> 00:46:47.590
Daffodil Tyminski: Anyone want to second this?

376
00:46:49.220 --> 00:46:50.230
Jeremy Loeb: I'll second it.

377
00:46:53.270 --> 00:46:54.160
reta moser: Thank you.

378
00:46:54.580 --> 00:46:57.550
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Fez. Let's take some public comment.

379
00:46:58.390 --> 00:47:00.860
Daffodil Tyminski: Shawn. O'brien, go ahead.

380
00:47:02.300 --> 00:47:03.350
Daffodil Tyminski: I think you're unmuted.

381
00:47:04.900 --> 00:47:06.360
Sean Obrien: Oh, okay, yeah, thank you.

382
00:47:06.430 --> 00:47:13.780
Sean Obrien: Yeah. Support the motion. If the city wants to continue to densify, go vertical and create more housing.

383
00:47:13.790 --> 00:47:21.740
Sean Obrien: And now they also, you know we're also facing cutting water supply as well as the ongoing drought.

384
00:47:21.900 --> 00:47:25.510
Sean Obrien: It's a no-brainer, I suppose the motion motion. Thank you. Guys

385
00:47:26.090 --> 00:47:26.740
reta moser: right.

386
00:47:27.210 --> 00:47:28.110
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you

387
00:47:30.510 --> 00:47:32.460
Daffodil Tyminski: helen fountain. Go ahead.

388
00:47:35.910 --> 00:47:45.590
Helen Fallon: Yeah, even if it you know. Let's say theoretically, the board holds a meeting before the seventeenth, and decides to say they want to do this.

389
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:50.840
Helen Fallon: We went through this at the atcom, where can't write

390
00:47:51.160 --> 00:48:06.750
Helen Fallon: the State Water Board? It's not within our purview to reach out to the State water board As an Nc. We have to go through the city. I don't know what the city is doing. I haven't bothered to see this council file. That would be the only way you could have a motion related to this.

391
00:48:06.940 --> 00:48:08.890
Helen Fallon: So this motion

392
00:48:10.170 --> 00:48:16.070
Helen Fallon: in tensions, and you know, may be great, but you can't do it so. It's. It's

393
00:48:16.160 --> 00:48:17.340
Helen Fallon: how they are worth

394
00:48:17.720 --> 00:48:20.110
Helen Fallon: discussing it, because it's

395
00:48:20.620 --> 00:48:24.900
Helen Fallon: because you can't write to the State Water Board. Just want to point that out.

396
00:48:25.570 --> 00:48:29.140
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Thank you. Lisa Redmond. Go ahead.

397
00:48:32.010 --> 00:48:37.320
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Yeah, Helen, Good morning. Everyone helped me the exact point that

398
00:48:37.660 --> 00:48:42.870
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: the Neighborhood Council cannot go outside of the city

399
00:48:42.890 --> 00:48:55.470
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: to make points, and even if you were allowed shouldn't, we get to see what those public comments are, so the stakeholders could have a say in it and approve it. I have a lot to say on this matter

400
00:48:55.550 --> 00:49:12.800
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: about how ridiculous it is for us to selfishly keep taking water from monolith. Even all the articles. Information states that we only get about 1% of our water from Mono Lake, so we just all need to tighten up as La residents

401
00:49:13.100 --> 00:49:24.350
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: with our water use, but it just again. It's a mute point, because we are unable as a Neighborhood Council to take this motion any further.

402
00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:25.710
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Thank you.

403
00:49:25.910 --> 00:49:26.860
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you.

404
00:49:29.180 --> 00:49:32.180
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So with that we will close public comment.

405
00:49:33.450 --> 00:49:36.400
Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone on the committee have any comment?

406
00:49:37.170 --> 00:49:46.850
reta moser: Yes, I do. Yolanda. This was sent out to all neighborhood councils to review.

407
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.940
reta moser: so because the vote will be coming up to city Council

408
00:49:52.810 --> 00:49:53.720
reta moser: so

409
00:49:54.130 --> 00:49:57.650
reta moser: either as stakeholders or even as a committee.

410
00:49:57.700 --> 00:49:59.340
reta moser: we can go ahead

411
00:49:59.670 --> 00:50:02.160
reta moser: and encourage more

412
00:50:02.390 --> 00:50:09.710
reta moser: to city Council CD. 11 to really look into this and review what is coming up.

413
00:50:10.180 --> 00:50:24.070
reta moser: We get water from different parts. We get water from the Owens Valley. We get water from even the Colorado. Yesterday, for the first time, I saw something mentioned on TV

414
00:50:24.090 --> 00:50:28.010
reta moser: as to how the distribution of water comes into our city.

415
00:50:28.170 --> 00:50:32.420
reta moser: We must get on it. This is a very important issue.

416
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:41.050
reta moser: so we can go ahead and make that motion ourselves. So our City Council gets on it because they haven't done anything about it.

417
00:50:41.300 --> 00:50:50.540
reta moser: We are the stakeholders that we we make sure that city council, all 15 districts get on board on this issue.

418
00:50:50.710 --> 00:51:00.500
reta moser: so I just wanted to make that comment, but it it was sent out to the neighborhood councils all 99, everybody's on board on this that's. Why, it was sent to us. Thank you.

419
00:51:05.130 --> 00:51:07.560
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Alonda Carol. Go ahead.

420
00:51:08.070 --> 00:51:20.040
Darryl DuFay: Yeah. I followed this model like thing for years, and it listed in their ecological emergency, protecting the next thing nesting sites.

421
00:51:20.300 --> 00:51:25.010
Daffodil Tyminski: And the reason for this, as the water has gone down, so

422
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:32.680
Darryl DuFay: little islands are there. What happened when the water got so low that the

423
00:51:32.740 --> 00:51:37.310
Darryl DuFay: this the seagulls was to nest. There were no longer

424
00:51:37.510 --> 00:51:41.300
Darryl DuFay: protected from different other

425
00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:47.950
Darryl DuFay: types of animals coming across. taking their eggs, killing them off, etc.

426
00:51:48.470 --> 00:51:55.250
Darryl DuFay: But I I. I also realize we're talking about water, and there is no issue.

427
00:51:55.270 --> 00:52:01.120
Darryl DuFay: and the Western States more important than water. And I

428
00:52:02.600 --> 00:52:07.010
Darryl DuFay: I. I have real problems with this, especially

429
00:52:08.200 --> 00:52:11.660
Darryl DuFay: taking away water

430
00:52:11.770 --> 00:52:28.390
Darryl DuFay: from Mont, continue to taking away a water from Mono Lake because it was it was. It was developers, etc., that took us to took all the land, bought up land, cut off the little rivers go in. So

431
00:52:29.490 --> 00:52:33.740
Darryl DuFay: I just have problems with that. I'm just gonna say and stop talking.

432
00:52:34.850 --> 00:52:38.090
reta moser: Okay. this is Rita. I share Daryl's

433
00:52:38.230 --> 00:52:39.570
reta moser: point of view, too.

434
00:52:39.580 --> 00:52:41.330
reta moser: This is a state.

435
00:52:41.570 --> 00:52:43.990
reta moser: This is a city problem.

436
00:52:44.200 --> 00:52:48.500
reta moser: Why are we continuing to build. If we don't have enough water. Now.

437
00:52:48.640 --> 00:52:53.660
reta moser: I mean, this is crazy. What's happened? Water is so important.

438
00:52:57.200 --> 00:52:58.040
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

439
00:52:59.170 --> 00:53:02.130
Daffodil Tyminski: I just want to bring up something.

440
00:53:02.330 --> 00:53:05.180
reta moser: I'm a bird watcher. and

441
00:53:05.700 --> 00:53:12.510
reta moser: because of the fires that we have had in our state, and all the way coming from Oregon, there's been.

442
00:53:12.600 --> 00:53:27.470
reta moser: and migration of birds to other parts of our States, and to other parts of our even countries, where they seek food and birds are very smart. They migrate where they're going to be fed

443
00:53:27.530 --> 00:53:28.950
reta moser: like I have

444
00:53:29.070 --> 00:53:37.670
reta moser: parents. They used to come to one tree. They don't not here right now, Probably maybe the weather, but they feed on fruit trees, and they feed on little fruit.

445
00:53:37.670 --> 00:54:07.610
reta moser: all the kinds of fruit trees that we have available. So we have a different migration right now, not only to the change of whether we're having. Look at right now. What we're having is cold weather, so they're migrating somewhere, but they're very smart. They find water. They find where to lay their eggs. So this is all a change. But water is very important. Coming into our city, whether it's from the Owens Valley, whether it's from the Colorado yesterday on TV, they had a report that the Colorado River feeds 24

446
00:54:07.610 --> 00:54:10.100
reta moser: 2425 cities

447
00:54:10.150 --> 00:54:28.360
reta moser: that they receive water from there. So this is a very important issue. Not I will, if you request Also, I have somebody that can come and speak on this issue for our General Board meeting, and they've offered to come and explain also

448
00:54:28.520 --> 00:54:33.620
reta moser: this topic on that we have put on this agenda. Thank you.

449
00:54:38.040 --> 00:54:43.920
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. Thank you. Anyone else. Any other comment on this.

450
00:54:46.290 --> 00:54:50.900
Daffodil Tyminski: I so I don't know a ton about this

451
00:54:51.200 --> 00:54:57.850
Daffodil Tyminski: topic. I did, for you know you want to brought it up. I did research it. It did seem to me that

452
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.330
Daffodil Tyminski: the dwp was

453
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:11.370
Daffodil Tyminski: pushing for this as a way to justify raising rates. It seems like a lot of the commentaries around this. They think this is some sort of Trojan horse move

454
00:55:11.520 --> 00:55:21.410
Daffodil Tyminski: to get the State Water Resources Control Board to give them the excuse to increase rates. But I actually don't know either way.

455
00:55:22.240 --> 00:55:24.320
Daffodil Tyminski: Why, don't we go ahead and take a vote?

456
00:55:26.710 --> 00:55:28.770
Daffodil Tyminski: Anyone have anything else to say?

457
00:55:30.600 --> 00:55:31.410
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

458
00:55:33.300 --> 00:55:36.840
Daffodil Tyminski: through here. Jeremy, how do you vote

459
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.160
Jeremy Loeb: i'll vote. Yes.

460
00:55:39.980 --> 00:55:41.670
reta moser: Yolanda. Yes.

461
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:45.360
Daffodil Tyminski: Felicia

462
00:55:45.710 --> 00:55:46.670
felicia s: abstain

463
00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:48.780
Daffodil Tyminski: chuck.

464
00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:50.620
Charles Rosin: No.

465
00:55:51.500 --> 00:55:52.360
Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl.

466
00:55:52.650 --> 00:55:53.510
Darryl DuFay: no

467
00:55:54.590 --> 00:55:55.530
Daffodil Tyminski: Cassie

468
00:55:56.180 --> 00:55:57.340
cassie: abstain.

469
00:55:58.700 --> 00:56:00.340
Daffodil Tyminski: And Rita

470
00:56:00.640 --> 00:56:01.930
reta moser: all of

471
00:56:04.310 --> 00:56:10.800
Daffodil Tyminski: okay. So that leaves me the deciding vote. So i'm going to vote. Yes.

472
00:56:11.010 --> 00:56:15.580
Daffodil Tyminski: and I think what we'll do on this is

473
00:56:17.240 --> 00:56:25.550
Daffodil Tyminski: between now and add Com. Dig into it a little bit more. I don't really want to kill this unnecessarily, because I've had a couple of people reach out on this one.

474
00:56:25.670 --> 00:56:29.230
Daffodil Tyminski: but you know we see we need to understand it better.

475
00:56:29.820 --> 00:56:34.360
Daffodil Tyminski: and we'll be able to find out to whether the Council is actually doing something

476
00:56:34.370 --> 00:56:39.760
Daffodil Tyminski: which is something I couldn't find out before we had to get the agenda out, and if they are we can tweak

477
00:56:39.990 --> 00:56:45.100
Daffodil Tyminski: the language of the motion to add so the city submit Comment.

478
00:56:45.410 --> 00:56:49.500
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, okay, let's move on, Vicki. I think we've got one or 2 more items.

479
00:56:50.860 --> 00:56:56.030
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, okay, yeah. So this came up in conversation

480
00:56:58.050 --> 00:57:03.200
Daffodil Tyminski: just with neighbors and friends. This is item Number 12 garden tours in Venice.

481
00:57:04.020 --> 00:57:11.540
Daffodil Tyminski: I'll read well, so, as all of you know, for many years we had a garden tour, and it was really well done, and then it stopped, and

482
00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:21.440
Daffodil Tyminski: there was a lot of questions about. Why don't we do it anymore, and I know the folks that did it. Aren't here, or, you know, have just done their duty, and I've kind of retired from it.

483
00:57:21.550 --> 00:57:35.680
Daffodil Tyminski: But someone asked me, can we really do another one? And I thought Well. this had always been done privately through organizations. I'm. Not quite sure how this would work through the Neighborhood Council. or whether there is an organization that we could work with to do it.

484
00:57:35.830 --> 00:57:42.320
Daffodil Tyminski: So I thought, Well, let's just get it out there and see what people think and

485
00:57:42.380 --> 00:57:55.650
Daffodil Tyminski: see if you know there's any interest in in working on this. So the motion is, the Neighborhood Committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council re-establish a Venice Home and Garden Tour through the Neighborhood Committee to take place in May. 2,023.

486
00:57:57.310 --> 00:57:59.450
Daffodil Tyminski: Does someone want to make the motion?

487
00:57:59.530 --> 00:58:01.140
reta moser: I want to make the motion?

488
00:58:01.740 --> 00:58:02.620
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

489
00:58:03.910 --> 00:58:06.940
Daffodil Tyminski: And does anyone Could someone second

490
00:58:08.600 --> 00:58:13.830
reta moser: Well, who is going to be responsible for doing this? If it's through the Neighborhood Committee?

491
00:58:15.020 --> 00:58:17.460
Daffodil Tyminski: I don't know. Yet we'd have to work that out.

492
00:58:17.940 --> 00:58:35.820
Daffodil Tyminski: I just wanted to start the discussion because I'm frankly not even sure that we can do this on the Council. I need to to figure that out there's I, as you can imagine, the whole host of issues with having a council related event, and Brown acting and liability and all that stuff.

493
00:58:36.060 --> 00:58:41.370
Daffodil Tyminski: but it might be nice, for have to have us be the impetus to get something started.

494
00:58:41.550 --> 00:58:49.220
Daffodil Tyminski: And so I that's why I wanted to open it up for conversation. To people have ideas. We don't even need to vote on this now.

495
00:58:49.490 --> 00:58:56.110
Daffodil Tyminski: But you know, do people have organizations that they know would like to do this, or could benefit from this or what have you?

496
00:58:56.510 --> 00:59:02.090
reta moser: Yes. so do we have a second, though if we don't have a second, it dies.

497
00:59:02.610 --> 00:59:04.120
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, Rita, okay, Thank you.

498
00:59:05.190 --> 00:59:08.280
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. So let's take some public comments.

499
00:59:11.140 --> 00:59:12.940
Daffodil Tyminski: Helen. Why, don't you go first?

500
00:59:14.560 --> 00:59:24.890
Helen Fallon: I'll save you guys some time of discussion cannot do it through the Neighborhood Council because of the liability issue. The city is not going to allow you to do this.

501
00:59:24.970 --> 00:59:25.970
Helen Fallon: because.

502
00:59:26.050 --> 00:59:31.780
Helen Fallon: can you? You'd have to get releases and and demify the city for all these, you know, for

503
00:59:32.010 --> 00:59:42.100
Helen Fallon: people going on to private property. So the city isn't approving these kind of things under Yeah, private group can do it. Come and apply for an Npg.

504
00:59:42.290 --> 00:59:45.760
Helen Fallon: No problem, but not gonna happen to the neighborhood.

505
00:59:45.770 --> 00:59:51.560
Helen Fallon: to the Neighborhood Committee or through any committee or through the Nc. At all. That's you know.

506
00:59:52.160 --> 01:00:04.330
Helen Fallon: That's the rule. So and it's why it isn't happening through Nc's anymore. Somebody probably slipped and selling someone's private property, and they have a problem. The other thing to also note is.

507
01:00:04.830 --> 01:00:13.340
Helen Fallon: the Ncs. Can't raise money for other groups, so I don't know whether that was just background, or the intentions to fundraise.

508
01:00:13.540 --> 01:00:17.750
Helen Fallon: And you know the idea was to charge Can't do any of that. So?

509
01:00:18.020 --> 01:00:18.660
Helen Fallon: No.

510
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:25.720
Helen Fallon: I would say people are interested in doing this. Some private groups gonna have to do it, and it's not the Nc's job to help them do it.

511
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:29.330
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you. Lisa. Go ahead.

512
01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:38.180
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: Oh, yeah, everything, Helen said. I just would, you know, suggest that

513
01:00:38.900 --> 01:00:43.940
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: you guys work with outreach more isn't there list of

514
01:00:44.020 --> 01:00:56.000
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: well, ideally stakeholders. But according to like bylaws or standing rules, or something. One of the officers is supposed to compile and keep a list of community groups

515
01:00:56.010 --> 01:01:04.760
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: that are in Venice, and Wouldn't it be a great idea if outreach, or whoever is in charge of that list of committee groups

516
01:01:05.200 --> 01:01:19.420
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: did regularly emails and outreach and newsletters that would let people know about Mpgs and civic groups. They could do something like this, and you know it's March. Now there's no way. Something like this is going to happen in 2 months, but

517
01:01:20.140 --> 01:01:34.140
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: i'm not into it. But I know people like these kind of things, and it it would be very visual for Venice, and people would come from all over the city, probably to do something like this. You just need to find the right group that is willing to participate.

518
01:01:34.390 --> 01:01:36.660
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: That's not the Neighborhood Council.

519
01:01:37.860 --> 01:01:40.540
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Shawn O'brien, go ahead.

520
01:01:42.670 --> 01:01:45.650
Sean Obrien: Oh, yeah, I don't know how the sausage is made.

521
01:01:45.720 --> 01:01:53.140
Sean Obrien: Also, I I do remember the Garden tours. I believe they were done really well. They were very successful.

522
01:01:53.220 --> 01:01:55.230
Sean Obrien: They brought a lot of people here.

523
01:01:55.260 --> 01:02:03.230
Sean Obrien: brought a lot of good people, not kids and whatnot. But you know. you know older people.

524
01:02:03.380 --> 01:02:08.660
Sean Obrien: it was great. I'm. I was sorry to see it go. I don't know why it left.

525
01:02:11.300 --> 01:02:16.950
Sean Obrien: I don't know if it's in the by laws that Seema could do outreach

526
01:02:17.180 --> 01:02:21.730
Sean Obrien: to get this going. But I would love to see the Garden Tours reinstated.

527
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:24.800
Sean Obrien: and that's all I have to say, Thank you.

528
01:02:26.670 --> 01:02:33.460
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, Shawn. Okay. So let's let's take board. Comment.

529
01:02:35.050 --> 01:02:36.100
reta moser: Yeah, you know.

530
01:02:36.380 --> 01:02:37.620
reta moser: Yolanda.

531
01:02:37.700 --> 01:02:39.240
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, you wanna go ahead.

532
01:02:39.270 --> 01:02:49.340
reta moser: I just want to remind people the neighborhood councils were is were formed, so we could get community involvement and community growth.

533
01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:57.880
reta moser: The Neighborhood Council, we know, by a fact like Daffodil said, cannot get involved, because it would be a money making event.

534
01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:05.950
reta moser: But the fact that we're putting on on the agenda and we can even send it back to outreach. We can

535
01:03:05.990 --> 01:03:17.810
reta moser: start getting people back to doing something for the community. I spoke to Stan Mohammed, who has been ignored and was ignored by Mike Bonnan.

536
01:03:17.820 --> 01:03:30.980
reta moser: They never got anything. They never got any funding, and I spoke to him about it, and he would like to see. Maybe he can get this event going. So it's about promoting events for our community. And

537
01:03:31.670 --> 01:03:37.860
reta moser: after Covid it would be a wonderful thing that we get people back and participation.

538
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:46.670
reta moser: The garden show brought out close to almost 50,000 people for it. I have to say that Linda Lux did a wonderful job on it.

539
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:55.020
reta moser: but this is the only way that we're going to get people involved back into events for our community and community growth. Thank you.

540
01:03:56.030 --> 01:03:56.650
reta moser: Yeah.

541
01:03:56.770 --> 01:03:58.450
Charles Rosin: yeah, I I don't know.

542
01:03:59.390 --> 01:04:00.370
Charles Rosin: Oh, good!

543
01:04:02.500 --> 01:04:03.880
Daffodil Tyminski: That's unstable.

544
01:04:06.810 --> 01:04:09.350
Charles Rosin: Can everyone hear me?

545
01:04:09.560 --> 01:04:10.620
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, okay.

546
01:04:10.670 --> 01:04:16.440
Daffodil Tyminski: thank you, Chuck. Why, don't you go ahead?

547
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:29.500
Charles Rosin: The doors with both Shawn and and in Yolanda said when we we moved to venison in 2,012, and and it was really one of the first things we did, and it was very welcoming.

548
01:04:29.860 --> 01:04:35.680
Charles Rosin: and I do agree that Linda Lux, who, I don't necessarily agree on on many matters, did a great job.

549
01:04:35.790 --> 01:04:48.900
Charles Rosin: It's putting this together, and I also agree that there's a problem. It is going to be impossible in our world to get a really good thing done by May in in May and May in June of the months.

550
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:54.430
Charles Rosin: arguably April, May, or June, that you'd want this because that's when flowers are most in bloom.

551
01:04:54.520 --> 01:05:12.230
Charles Rosin: But I think that, as Youolanda says, to get this in the works and get this restored is is is what isn't what I would want, and why, I hope it does, can return, and I never did understand, like Shawn, why it stopped. Was it because somebody got injured on it?

552
01:05:12.790 --> 01:05:19.450
reta moser: No, they were not. As they went out of a business where they came out

553
01:05:19.460 --> 01:05:20.580
reta moser: close down.

554
01:05:20.830 --> 01:05:22.560
Charles Rosin: I see. Okay.

555
01:05:23.720 --> 01:05:25.310
Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl, go ahead.

556
01:05:25.580 --> 01:05:28.940
Darryl DuFay: Yes, I had

557
01:05:29.780 --> 01:05:38.050
Darryl DuFay: a tour goes through the voice of the canal. So part of where we had for monarch butterflies years ago.

558
01:05:38.310 --> 01:05:45.940
Darryl DuFay: I'd like the idea of re-establishing so that it doesn't sound like we are going to do it.

559
01:05:46.430 --> 01:05:49.420
Darryl DuFay: and i'll go back and see who. What

560
01:05:49.530 --> 01:05:56.910
Darryl DuFay: what group did it at that time? I'm sure everybody remembers. But I don't remember the name of the group.

561
01:05:57.540 --> 01:06:00.970
Darryl DuFay: but I think the tour itself is a great idea.

562
01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:02.640
Darryl DuFay: So if we get help.

563
01:06:03.970 --> 01:06:07.080
Darryl DuFay: help re-establish it, that would be great.

564
01:06:08.940 --> 01:06:10.500
Daffodil Tyminski: That's great. Thank you.

565
01:06:13.090 --> 01:06:33.640
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, I mean I I I believe it for the reason it's it didn't stop because there was a problem. It's just, you know. couldn't be maintained anymore, and there is some precedent for the Vnc. Working with community groups to do this and having some sort of involvement. And actually I had no idea that Stan was interested. Yolanda. So we can reach out to him.

566
01:06:34.050 --> 01:06:44.700
reta moser: I just want to remind people that 5 books have been published based on the Garden Show. I have them all. So that just speaks for Venice itself.

567
01:06:44.830 --> 01:06:46.450
reta moser: Where do you have

568
01:06:46.540 --> 01:06:59.100
reta moser: 5 books published outside of maybe Pasadena, where they have all this because they have it there, the the and because of us other communities started their garden shows, and we need to revive it. Thank you.

569
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:10.450
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you. So maybe we could rework the wording of the motion, to say, the Neighbors committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council Work with community groups to re-establish

570
01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:12.440
Daffodil Tyminski: the Home and Garden tour.

571
01:07:13.510 --> 01:07:16.650
Daffodil Tyminski: and then strike the language about the neighborhood committee.

572
01:07:19.470 --> 01:07:22.780
Daffodil Tyminski: Yolanda, would you be fine with that amendment? You'll launch in Rita?

573
01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:25.060
reta moser: That's fine! That's fine with me.

574
01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:27.330
Daffodil Tyminski: Rita.

575
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:28.760
reta moser: Oh, what are you doing?

576
01:07:29.620 --> 01:07:32.060
Charles Rosin: Oh, fine with me, too. So that's 2.

577
01:07:32.540 --> 01:07:33.380
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

578
01:07:33.680 --> 01:07:37.740
Charles Rosin: Rita is. The second, I think, has to agree that that would basically

579
01:07:38.710 --> 01:07:40.170
Daffodil Tyminski: let's wait for her to get back.

580
01:07:40.230 --> 01:07:43.840
reta moser: She she stepped out. Let me go together for one.

581
01:07:48.680 --> 01:07:49.430
reta moser: We don't

582
01:07:58.890 --> 01:08:02.020
reta moser: just a second. She's in the little girl room.

583
01:08:02.170 --> 01:08:14.850
reta moser: Oh, man, sorry to outer on zoom, just to make a modification on the motion that the from the what? What was it again that we're going to?

584
01:08:15.020 --> 01:08:22.069
Daffodil Tyminski: So what I propose, then is we change it. To read. The Neighborhood committee moves to have the Venice Neighborhood Council

585
01:08:23.040 --> 01:08:26.760
Daffodil Tyminski: Let's say Neighborhood committee work with

586
01:08:27.040 --> 01:08:34.859
Daffodil Tyminski: local community groups to re-establish the Venice Home and Garden Tour to take place. Let's just say in 2,023

587
01:08:36.330 --> 01:08:39.850
Daffodil Tyminski: May is the season, but actually fall would be quite nice as well.

588
01:08:41.420 --> 01:08:43.770
reta moser: Are you?

589
01:08:44.050 --> 01:08:45.990
Daffodil Tyminski: Are you okay? With that amendment, both of you?

590
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:50.229
reta moser: Yeah. I just think that the Neighborhood Committee should

591
01:08:50.540 --> 01:08:55.620
reta moser: should instigate other people to do it privately.

592
01:08:55.779 --> 01:09:06.779
Daffodil Tyminski: Well, again I I mean it's it's what I what I was trying to get away from here is then have 7 people doing it, and we've got all kinds of chaos like, maybe let us coordinate. And of course other people will do it.

593
01:09:07.450 --> 01:09:08.560
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah.

594
01:09:09.350 --> 01:09:15.590
Daffodil Tyminski: okay, let's take a vote because we're almost done, and we're almost. We're a little over time, Jeremy. How do you vote

595
01:09:16.950 --> 01:09:23.470
Jeremy Loeb: definitely? Yes. Okay. Your house going to be on the tour. Yolanda. How do you vote

596
01:09:23.660 --> 01:09:24.890
reta moser: you both? Yes.

597
01:09:25.470 --> 01:09:26.800
felicia s: and Felicia.

598
01:09:27.010 --> 01:09:28.020
felicia s: Yes.

599
01:09:28.710 --> 01:09:30.590
Charles Rosin: Check. Yes.

600
01:09:30.770 --> 01:09:31.660
Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl.

601
01:09:31.700 --> 01:09:32.660
Darryl DuFay: Yes.

602
01:09:33.029 --> 01:09:34.000
Daffodil Tyminski: Cassie.

603
01:09:35.069 --> 01:09:36.750
Charles Rosin: She had to drop off.

604
01:09:36.770 --> 01:09:37.729
Daffodil Tyminski: Oh, okay.

605
01:09:38.410 --> 01:09:40.370
reta moser: And Rita. Yes.

606
01:09:42.290 --> 01:09:48.160
Daffodil Tyminski: okay. All right. So let's move on to our last main item, which is approval of last month's minutes.

607
01:09:51.109 --> 01:09:53.670
Daffodil Tyminski: and this number is that Number 13. Yeah.

608
01:09:55.580 --> 01:10:03.190
Daffodil Tyminski: I'll make a motion to approve the minutes of the January 20, seventh, 2,023 meeting Do? Will someone please make the motion

609
01:10:03.930 --> 01:10:05.950
felicia s: I make the motion? This is Felicia.

610
01:10:06.130 --> 01:10:08.740
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. can someone second

611
01:10:08.970 --> 01:10:09.960
reta moser: Second it.

612
01:10:11.980 --> 01:10:12.940
Lisa Redmond - Venice Catholic Worker: hey?

613
01:10:14.690 --> 01:10:17.000
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you. Do we have any public comment?

614
01:10:21.350 --> 01:10:25.630
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Seeing no hands will close public comment. Any board committee Comment.

615
01:10:28.230 --> 01:10:31.930
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay. Seeing no hands. We'll close that and let's take a vote.

616
01:10:34.340 --> 01:10:35.210
Daffodil Tyminski: Jeremy.

617
01:10:36.380 --> 01:10:37.240
Jeremy Loeb: Yes.

618
01:10:38.170 --> 01:10:41.010
Daffodil Tyminski: okay, Yolanda.

619
01:10:42.770 --> 01:10:43.790
felicia s: Yes.

620
01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:45.650
Daffodil Tyminski: Chuck.

621
01:10:45.700 --> 01:10:46.600
Charles Rosin: Yes.

622
01:10:47.010 --> 01:10:47.850
Daffodil Tyminski: Carol.

623
01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:49.690
Darryl DuFay: Yes.

624
01:10:50.600 --> 01:10:53.090
Daffodil Tyminski: Cassie is not here. And then Rita.

625
01:10:55.280 --> 01:10:57.470
reta moser: the minutes I approve.

626
01:10:57.590 --> 01:11:07.490
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Thank you. So the last item we have is committee comments on items, not on the agenda. We're 2 min over time. I didn't.

627
01:11:07.570 --> 01:11:14.150
Daffodil Tyminski: you know this would be a great time if you want to mention things that are coming up, or that we you think we should be addressing.

628
01:11:14.270 --> 01:11:15.910
Daffodil Tyminski: Does anyone have any.

629
01:11:16.550 --> 01:11:29.280
Charles Rosin: I do, I do. I wrote, I drove on the in Venice that that I've seen, and it's in a place that shouldn't be in that condition

630
01:11:29.280 --> 01:11:42.860
Charles Rosin: which is right, leaving the parking lot of where Zank is, and going to catch where the light is on lake, I think it is, or or or whatever south of of Where's that? Because they that's California on the

631
01:11:42.940 --> 01:11:55.430
Charles Rosin: boy I mean, you know who I I and I think it's like there with a bunch of businesses. Somebody should be responsible for it. It is Re. And for someone in Venice who who who moved here and walked around to get our streets paved.

632
01:11:55.760 --> 01:12:12.440
Charles Rosin: This is really this is really bad. Take my word for it, it's as bad as it gets. So what's the problem, Chuck? I didn't. I didn't miss it. It's it's it's completely pothole on both sides, so you can't get around it. It's not paved. I don't understand. It looks like it Hasn't been looked at in 40 years

633
01:12:12.910 --> 01:12:29.520
Charles Rosin: the the city and and we were doing everything about sidewalks, so I just wanted to put it to your attention deaf and wonder who I can contact. And say, guys, this is really bad. Maybe I just go to the business owners in the area and say, why don't you step up and do this.

634
01:12:29.830 --> 01:12:36.380
Daffodil Tyminski: Let's talk to Robert, and evident parking and transportation, because I think that they've also looked at this. The puddle issue.

635
01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:45.440
Charles Rosin: Oh, it's really bad on that one look, because it's the natural place. You go to go outside. I get get a get a light, and you go through a really bad area.

636
01:12:45.630 --> 01:12:59.940
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, it's funny. I drive that all the time, and I can't think of it. But you and I have been there before. Yeah. Okay? Well, i'll let. Let's follow up offline, and I I i'm pretty sure. Robert's been doing something with that. I just don't remember he was doing. You're welcome.

637
01:13:01.320 --> 01:13:10.560
Daffodil Tyminski: Hold on one sec. We have some folks who haven't really made comments. So let me let them go first. Felicia, go ahead.

638
01:13:11.250 --> 01:13:40.490
felicia s: Yes, so I don't know if it's within this domain. But I really recently saw, and again it could always have been there. But I just Haven't noticed it, but I recently saw a whole bunch of traffic lights on Admiralty way parallel with the park and the you know, running, running running alongside the the library and and all the restaurants over there. They look like they're gonna like fall apart. I don't know if it's because of the the wind, or if it's always been like this, but like literally pieces, and I can take a pickstack

639
01:13:40.490 --> 01:13:45.530
felicia s: picture daft and send it to you. But like pieces of these lights, for older lights are like

640
01:13:45.850 --> 01:13:57.130
felicia s: broken off, and just like it looked like they're hanging on for dear life, but it could also just be intentional. I don't know, so i'll send you a picture. I don't know if it's within our domain for you to send it to someone else. But

641
01:13:57.480 --> 01:14:00.050
felicia s: just kind of struck me as odd recently.

642
01:14:00.200 --> 01:14:06.890
Daffodil Tyminski: Do you mean the the this? The like red, green, yellow lights? Right?

643
01:14:07.550 --> 01:14:19.800
Daffodil Tyminski: So I don't know Robert will know we can ask him, but it's also going to be county there. We'll have to work with the county, but of course I think that's fine. We can do it. It impacts us. Certainly.

644
01:14:19.870 --> 01:14:25.120
Daffodil Tyminski: you know. Apparently i'd be a really terrible eyewitness.

645
01:14:26.900 --> 01:14:30.210
Daffodil Tyminski: Thank you, though. Thanks for bringing it up.

646
01:14:30.260 --> 01:14:31.640
Daffodil Tyminski: Jeremy. Go ahead.

647
01:14:31.710 --> 01:14:38.980
Jeremy Loeb: I I don't know if this is the right time to ask or bring it up. But it's really more of a question about. I I see what Tracy is doing with

648
01:14:39.280 --> 01:14:46.850
Jeremy Loeb: with with Tracy and Karen, or doing what the homeless. They cleaned up Third Street and Hampton, and it's been wonderful.

649
01:14:46.930 --> 01:14:49.760
Jeremy Loeb: I shouldn't say, cleaned up, but they were able to relocate people.

650
01:14:49.810 --> 01:14:52.700
Jeremy Loeb: I'm just wondering about the Rvs.

651
01:14:52.740 --> 01:15:00.940
Jeremy Loeb: because, in my opinion, the Rvs are worse than that. The encampments They're the ones on Main Street are just They're They're collecting again. There's one that's been there that's just

652
01:15:01.220 --> 01:15:07.280
Jeremy Loeb: terrible. You can't use the sidewalk. Still also on Jefferson and on on Rose. I'm. Just wondering if

653
01:15:07.370 --> 01:15:08.580
Jeremy Loeb: you know of any

654
01:15:09.280 --> 01:15:15.020
Jeremy Loeb: initiatives that are happening on the city level to start towing those and moving them out of the

655
01:15:15.170 --> 01:15:16.420
Jeremy Loeb: the public streets.

656
01:15:17.240 --> 01:15:22.080
Jeremy Loeb: There are. There's so much going on with that, Jeremy, and I think

657
01:15:22.120 --> 01:15:24.410
Daffodil Tyminski: Tracy is very aware of it, and

658
01:15:24.990 --> 01:15:34.720
Jeremy Loeb: I also think has her hands like a little bit tied, because she is not the authority to do it. There's a big debate as to whether you really can to someone when this is their home.

659
01:15:36.260 --> 01:15:37.950
Daffodil Tyminski: But

660
01:15:38.300 --> 01:15:55.790
Daffodil Tyminski: the whole issue of enforcing the overhead vehicles, and you know all overhead vehicles and all that stuff. It is happening on some streets. And, for example, Jeremy, I know what you're talking about, because you're talking about north on Main Street. If you go south on Main Street they are actually enforcing it quite a bit

661
01:15:56.070 --> 01:16:05.330
Jeremy Loeb: right. It's that one strip along that parking lot as well. But i'm really more concerned about Jefferson, because Jefferson I've personally seen people

662
01:16:05.610 --> 01:16:16.270
Jeremy Loeb: putting their waste into the into the wetlands, and just. you know, going into the wetlands like there's so much happening, and you can't see what's happening, because the Rvs are effectively a form to wall.

663
01:16:16.360 --> 01:16:22.690
Jeremy Loeb: So you have no idea what's happening, and basically what's become their backyard that that marshland which i'm sure is just getting

664
01:16:22.730 --> 01:16:26.350
Jeremy Loeb: pummeled by then. So I just wonder what what

665
01:16:26.940 --> 01:16:30.590
what can be done about that? Because that seems like a real travesty. What's happening there?

666
01:16:31.730 --> 01:16:33.980
Jeremy Loeb: Okay.

667
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:41.340
Jeremy Loeb: I I don't really have a specific thing i'm trying to do. I just wanted to ask what was happening, and it sounds like there are things happening. So that's good.

668
01:16:42.790 --> 01:16:48.110
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, I I do think so. And and this you know. And, Daryl, you may put something out about someone

669
01:16:48.190 --> 01:17:02.880
Daffodil Tyminski: recently dying for someone. Put it out in one of the Rvs in a fire, I mean, I think the cities so like the right people at the city are aware that this is a problem. I think they are still trying to work through with the city attorney's office. How to fix it? At least that's my understanding.

670
01:17:02.930 --> 01:17:03.640
Jeremy Loeb: Fair enough.

671
01:17:03.750 --> 01:17:07.900
Daffodil Tyminski: Daryl: what do you you probably know something about this, too. What do you think

672
01:17:08.780 --> 01:17:14.980
Darryl DuFay: I read about it that they are working on it there's no question about that. So

673
01:17:15.710 --> 01:17:19.900
Darryl DuFay: that's that. That's true. I have another issue with you.

674
01:17:20.130 --> 01:17:29.280
Daffodil Tyminski: Are we still moving forward to look at a new red representation map for the Neighborhood Committee

675
01:17:29.820 --> 01:17:41.120
Darryl DuFay: that moves away from the specific plan which was for environment. And we're the original areas that are put down.

676
01:17:41.210 --> 01:17:51.580
Darryl DuFay: 60 of them were south of Washington Boulevard, and what we have done over the time we've added this, we've added that which is fine.

677
01:17:51.770 --> 01:17:56.790
Darryl DuFay: What are we going to book? Are we going to go back and look at it. I sent you something

678
01:17:57.070 --> 01:18:02.610
Darryl DuFay: from the work that was done by the Venice Forum many years ago.

679
01:18:02.690 --> 01:18:11.450
Darryl DuFay: and I just wondered if we're going to look at a a new representation, if that's possible.

680
01:18:12.140 --> 01:18:17.620
Darryl DuFay: because I know the forums ended up with 19 different areas.

681
01:18:17.670 --> 01:18:21.370
Darryl DuFay: But it was basically geographic. That's all.

682
01:18:22.420 --> 01:18:35.190
Daffodil Tyminski: I think we should and remember. We had quite a few discussions on this, and came up with a at least strong suggestion of what we would like. The problem is, we haven't had a rules in selection committee in the last

683
01:18:35.660 --> 01:18:57.460
Daffodil Tyminski: year, and that's where it should go 4 years. That being said, we're gonna have one within the next 6 months, and the reason why we wanted to do that discussion when we did it, and we should have it again is so that when we need to amend the bylaws, we have it ready, and we know what we want to do. So we're not going to be able to amend the bylaws, and include this until

684
01:18:57.520 --> 01:19:07.870
Daffodil Tyminski: the next term starts in July. and then we'll have a I think, of 6 months or something to be able to do it so, Daryl. If you'd like. We can put it back on the agenda next month.

685
01:19:08.330 --> 01:19:19.620
Darryl DuFay: Well, what whenever it's it's it's a big issue, and I it. Everybody looks at it. You say we're gonna do it. We look at all these areas, and then we're not sure how we're going to break them down.

686
01:19:19.650 --> 01:19:23.020
Darryl DuFay: and it's it's. I would like to have that

687
01:19:23.430 --> 01:19:29.020
Darryl DuFay: discussion on how we would want to might look at break it down.

688
01:19:29.270 --> 01:19:45.490
Darryl DuFay: and I period. So why Don't. We put it then on the agenda for next month, and I will basically post it as what we decided on after that meeting we had. I don't know a year year and a half ago. Okay, that's good.

689
01:19:45.500 --> 01:19:46.850
Daffodil Tyminski: I just make it.

690
01:19:46.870 --> 01:19:47.660
reta moser: Yeah.

691
01:19:47.880 --> 01:19:51.650
reta moser: Yolanda. I want to have something about the potholes.

692
01:19:53.210 --> 01:19:59.780
reta moser: When Antonio I also became our mayor. He put a program, pothole filling and streets.

693
01:19:59.850 --> 01:20:01.010
reta moser: Venice.

694
01:20:01.020 --> 01:20:17.380
reta moser: Dd. Was President. I was Vice President Sally on all of us got together, and we paved 8 streets here in Venice Plus. We filled up so many potholes because we're so lucky. We have a public works

695
01:20:17.380 --> 01:20:28.460
reta moser: compound here that we used to go and get them, and go fill up the the the potholes, but we can request that we can put it on the agenda to request from the Mayor

696
01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:40.680
reta moser: that she brings up a a program just like Antonio did at that time to do streets and pothole filling, and that but that would have to come from the Mayor

697
01:20:40.980 --> 01:20:47.010
reta moser: so that way that she can support the district Councils to start fixing the streets.

698
01:20:47.020 --> 01:21:05.980
reta moser: and I'm. I'm gonna look into my notes, because I still have it, how that came about. But Antonio was the one that really did a great program, and I think we could follow through and see if the mayor can put aside a good funding to fix that problem within our our cities and communities. Thank you.

699
01:21:07.230 --> 01:21:14.920
Daffodil Tyminski: Thanks, Yolanda. We'll have to. I'll just have to pick your brand on how that worked before, and whether we can access those resources.

700
01:21:15.090 --> 01:21:15.830
Daffodil Tyminski: you know.

701
01:21:17.300 --> 01:21:28.540
reta moser: Again, Robert has done some work on this i'm positive of it. So, rather than rearvent the wheel we should recently, a couple of years ago. Yes, he did, and he got it for us.

702
01:21:28.850 --> 01:21:29.710
Daffodil Tyminski: Who did

703
01:21:30.020 --> 01:21:32.550
reta moser: George Francis? Oh, George, yeah.

704
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.760
reta moser: Yeah. I'll ask him, too. Yeah.

705
01:21:35.410 --> 01:21:36.280
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

706
01:21:37.680 --> 01:21:46.680
Daffodil Tyminski: Awesome anything. Oh, so next month let's talk about this. I know there's a convenience to being online that we like. I also like to be in person as well.

707
01:21:47.450 --> 01:21:48.990
Daffodil Tyminski: I'm fine either way.

708
01:21:50.410 --> 01:22:03.850
Daffodil Tyminski: Do you? Would you like to stay online and do April meeting. Assuming we have enough to talk about, which I think we probably will. Now that Tracy is really getting going, there's a lot of stuff happening, and I think a lot that we can do and weigh in.

709
01:22:03.890 --> 01:22:07.820
Steve Bradbury: So do we want to, though. Keep it online next month

710
01:22:07.970 --> 01:22:12.460
Daffodil Tyminski: and do it at the end of April? Or would you rather do it in person in the beginning of it?

711
01:22:12.500 --> 01:22:41.040
reta moser: I mean the Andrew Mark Yolanda, You know we can still keep it online. So people are connected to us. But also I can go down to a extra storage, cause you know they've always let have allow us to use that little room there, there's ample parking, and it's nice to meet people again and see each other's faces. But I can go down. Unfortunately the past manager of extra storage is no longer there. I have to go meet the new manager, but we can use that little room.

712
01:22:41.040 --> 01:22:56.290
reta moser: and people can come in and show up, and it's a it's a good thing we'll have coffee, donuts, and I think it's a good thing that we start meeting again. If you want me, i'll go and ask them to see if they can make their room available again. Well, actually they have to, because that's part of the

713
01:22:56.290 --> 01:23:18.980
Daffodil Tyminski: the the expansion of extra storage there. Okay, yeah. So I've already been there. I've met the new manager. I've talked to her about it. Yeah, and She, of course, had no idea about that pre-existing agreement, and when I told her she's like oh, i'm gonna have to talk to my district manager. But I think they've sorted that out. They just will not allow us to meet after 6 Pm.

714
01:23:19.590 --> 01:23:25.490
Daffodil Tyminski: At least for the moment. I'm sure you know, things always change. Once people are familiar with things.

715
01:23:25.660 --> 01:23:28.720
Daffodil Tyminski: so that would.

716
01:23:28.990 --> 01:23:42.870
Charles Rosin: And George's meetings were always in the mornings like yours. Yeah, no, i'm. I was just about to say that wouldn't be an issue for us, but I I will think our access and use of that room may change for the entire council, but that is the space I was thinking of, because it's really essentially located.

717
01:23:42.910 --> 01:23:46.950
Daffodil Tyminski: I think, for a lot of people easy to get to, you know. Usually you can park.

718
01:23:47.240 --> 01:23:54.780
Daffodil Tyminski: So let me just take a the polls drop Poll Here, Dara, what do you think? Should we go back in person if first week in April?

719
01:23:55.500 --> 01:23:59.330
Darryl DuFay: I think we should go back in person as soon as we can.

720
01:23:59.580 --> 01:24:00.400
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay.

721
01:24:02.510 --> 01:24:05.980
Jeremy Loeb: Germany, I 100% agree. I would love to meet everybody here.

722
01:24:06.090 --> 01:24:21.080
Jeremy Loeb: Okay, me, too, Chuck.

723
01:24:21.510 --> 01:24:26.590
Daffodil Tyminski: We've got some. Okay? Well, then, let's do it. So let's do it the first week in April

724
01:24:28.100 --> 01:24:29.320
Daffodil Tyminski: in person.

725
01:24:30.030 --> 01:24:37.370
Daffodil Tyminski: We'll do it in extra space storage. I'll. I'll follow up with them and talk to them. I've been talking to them on behalf of a bunch of the different committees.

726
01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:40.490
Daffodil Tyminski: and that is April Seventh.

727
01:24:42.750 --> 01:24:43.820
Charles Rosin: Okay.

728
01:24:44.470 --> 01:24:45.660
Daffodil Tyminski: So

729
01:24:45.680 --> 01:24:49.730
Darryl DuFay: that's pretty good. So what time are you looking for?

730
01:24:50.040 --> 01:24:52.080
Daffodil Tyminski: I would stick with 9, am.

731
01:24:52.480 --> 01:25:02.600
Daffodil Tyminski: I mean, i'm a super early bird, and I know because I live near Jeremy. He's a super early bird because we're both up at 5, 30 like at our computers. But I think there are some folks on the committee that are not, and so

732
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:14.330
Daffodil Tyminski: my push to do. you know, like 7, 38 was met with stiff resistance, so I I feel like 9. If that works for everybody. Is that

733
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:15.740
Daffodil Tyminski: doable

734
01:25:17.250 --> 01:25:20.420
Darryl DuFay: like 8? But that's okay.

735
01:25:20.710 --> 01:25:34.070
Charles Rosin: You like, ate better. What do you think? Chuck delivery? I don't know either way. I'm up at 8, you know i'm up earlier than 8, but I I I don't know if it's convenient for the the

736
01:25:34.170 --> 01:25:35.560
Charles Rosin: public as it were.

737
01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:42.940
Daffodil Tyminski: right. Well, let me do this. I'll do offline. I'll talk to everyone, and I will go as early as possible.

738
01:25:43.220 --> 01:25:55.030
Daffodil Tyminski: Let's just say that i'll. If I could do it a date. I'll do it at 8. I have a feeling it might be 9, so just stay tun with that. That's okay, taking into consideration also the people that work

739
01:25:55.160 --> 01:26:10.150
Daffodil Tyminski: some of those, you know. That's my concern. I like a lot of people have to be at work by 9. They key or 10 like they can't just sit on this meeting, and then you know that way. They can't do comments and all these other things. So that's why I like earlier. But didn't we once have it at 7?

740
01:26:10.180 --> 01:26:19.820
Darryl DuFay: That's when George did it. Yeah, he did it at 7. Yeah, yeah.

741
01:26:20.700 --> 01:26:29.130
Daffodil Tyminski: Yeah, that's pretty funny. Okay, great. Well, guys great to see you look forward to next month. I'll bring the coffee

742
01:26:29.970 --> 01:26:47.510
Daffodil Tyminski: and a wonderful meeting, if I might say so, I will say. My personal view on Venice now is like, I feel like we really can do something right. I feel like

743
01:26:47.680 --> 01:27:04.790
Daffodil Tyminski: we had the space that we were in, where, because of bon and like, there was nothing good was going to happen to us like we knew that the difference, you know. We moved here in 2,012, and the difference between 2,012 to 2,016 and 2,016 beyond it's just is light night and day.

744
01:27:04.830 --> 01:27:09.110
Charles Rosin: Yeah, and I do feel the same thing that anything's possible.

745
01:27:09.290 --> 01:27:18.640
Charles Rosin: We had a round table with Tracy about el fresco dining, and not Tracy, but her people.

746
01:27:18.930 --> 01:27:30.350
Daffodil Tyminski: And after, you know, some there was a couple of people. It's all over CD. 11, not just not just here, and some people were kind of complaining that the city wasn't doing more for restaurants and all this stuff, and

747
01:27:30.380 --> 01:27:34.300
this one woman I was like, Look, no one has even cared about

748
01:27:34.460 --> 01:27:49.780
Daffodil Tyminski: caring about what the businesses think before right like the last 5 years it I mean, these people are listening to you like they're actually this is the head planner who's like making time to listen to you like. When does that happen, you know, and so

749
01:27:49.820 --> 01:27:52.010
Daffodil Tyminski: it's great. So, anyway, I think it'll be good

750
01:27:52.360 --> 01:27:55.950
Daffodil Tyminski: all right. I will see you guys in April, if not before.

751
01:27:56.020 --> 01:27:57.010
Jeremy Loeb: Thanks, everyone.

752
01:27:57.220 --> 01:28:00.680
Daffodil Tyminski: All right, Thank you. I'll follow up with you. Talk to on the potholes and stuff.

753
01:28:00.810 --> 01:28:03.180
Charles Rosin: Thank you. I'll take some pictures for you.

754
01:28:03.410 --> 01:28:05.120
Daffodil Tyminski: Okay, Good.

755
01:28:05.190 --> 01:28:06.360
Daffodil Tyminski: All right. Bye, guys.

756
01:28:06.610 --> 01:28:07.270
Darryl DuFay: bye.
