Lisa Redmond: hi Jim hi everyone, good evening I wanted to bring up a point that I know everyone is overly fatigued with homelessness and encampments. 146 00:14:51.690 --> 00:15:01.230 Lisa Redmond: But I want to point out that illegally removing encampments on your own or hiring someone to do that. 147 00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:12.870 Lisa Redmond: is completely illegal and does not solve the issue whatsoever and do use a phrase from my friend, Brian a rural it's just kicking the can down the road. 148 00:15:13.800 --> 00:15:22.380 Lisa Redmond: Many times, people are in place, they have made connections with service providers and service providers are really stepping up now. 149 00:15:22.830 --> 00:15:35.940 Lisa Redmond: and working with people for housing and health and mental illness and if they are illegally removed or someone has hired somebody to legally remove them through a vigilante means. 150 00:15:36.330 --> 00:15:43.080 Lisa Redmond: That doesn't help anything, and in fact it even makes the problem worse, not only are they not located by service providers. 151 00:15:43.530 --> 00:15:52.380 Lisa Redmond: But, most people that are on the street, have already been failed many times over by the system, and when people are treated more dramatically. 152 00:15:52.680 --> 00:16:10.440 Lisa Redmond: They are more service resistant so i'm going to encourage everyone, not only on ocean front walk but elsewhere in Venice, please, please, please do not take matters into your own hands or thereby even hire someone else to take matters into your own hands for you, thank you very much. 153 00:16:12.300 --> 00:16:13.860 Brian Averill: Thanks Lisa Jimmy muted. 154 00:16:16.650 --> 00:16:19.950 jim robb: All right, can you get J s Room one. 155 00:16:20.130 -->

00:20:44.880 Nick Antonicello: Had a couple questions, the first one is what is the power washing schedule at ocean front walk and I know you do the bathrooms and things like that, but. 204 00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:50.490 Nick Antonicello: What kind of power washing do you do for the basketball courts, the. 205 00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:57.840 Nick Antonicello: All the other facilities there, and my second question is is your department ahead of the Venice Pier. 206 00:20:58.980 --> 00:21:02.820 Nick Antonicello: And if you are do you have anything to do with that movie like did they have last week. 207 00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:15.450 Sonya Young Jimenez: Yes, i'll let me answer first so power washing so, to be frank, we are very short staffed at Venice I just hired on we just got approved seven people to start in the next week or so part time. 208 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.050 Sonya Young Jimenez: And then. 209 00:21:16.290 --> 00:21:22.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: working to get a couple maybe three or four more and also some full time staff so we lost a lot of people don't you guys know but. 210 00:21:23.340 --> 00:21:31.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: The last probably six months they did it early entire early retirement incentive program so we lost like 170 people in the department of record parks, a lot of them from. 211 00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:36.750 Sonya Young Jimenez: You know who've been around for a long time took the early retirement so we've been kind of struggling. 212 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:45.990 Sonya Young Jimenez: Our maintenance staff we've lost a lot of staff at Venice it's just really hard to work there, and you can imagine being maintenance during this last year, this has been very tough trying for our staff. 213 00:21:46.350 --> 00:21:58.410 Sonya Young Jimenez: But I am working on hiring new people, so we recently just got seven approved i'm looking probably get another seven and then some full time staff so basically power washing is as needed when we need to get to the areas. 214 00:21:58.800 --> 00:22:07.800 Sonya Young Jimenez: I you have three or four guys that work, the whole peers doing all the restrooms all the trash every day so it's a lot for them i'm hoping with these new staff on board by the more. 215 00:22:08.910 --> 00:22:15.000 Sonya Young Jimenez: You know, steady schedule and we're working to do like you know we'll have the zones and what we're going to put them in team so to be a lot easier. 216 00:22:15.270 --> 00:22:22.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: I really appreciate the bid bit helps us a lot and the bit if I think an area needs power washing the bill come in and help us as well, so we work as a team. 217 00:22:23.310 --> 00:22:38.850 Sonya Young Jimenez: I work hand in hand with a bit almost every day so that's how we get it done as far as the Pier yes, the Pier we did work together with Washington bid and put that on as a co sponsored event, and we did it yeah this frank this last Thursday and it'll be the next 530 days on the Pier. 218 00:22:40.020 --> 00:22:41.190 Nick Antonicello: If you wanted to. 219 00:22:43.560 --> 00:22:48.720 Nick Antonicello: suggest that, like say, for example, I mean I personally feel that the peers and. 220 00:22:49.140 --> 00:22:49.770 I agree. 221 00:22:50.940 --> 00:23:06.300 Nick Antonicello: apple if if we wanted to have like say at the end of the Pier where they had the movie say got a DJ and he wanted to have like food trucks and have like a salsa night or some kind of dance night, how does one go about doing something like that. 222 00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:09.210 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah you're you're speaking my language, so I. 223 00:23:10.650 --> 00:23:15.450 Sonya Young Jimenez: I was there Thursday and i'm like why don't we do like great have else thinking a disco night and have bands and. 224 00:23:15.780 --> 00:23:16.200 Sonya Young Jimenez: It was. 225 00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:23.430 Sonya Young Jimenez: fun, it was nice to see the Community out and people were really excited to have the fear open like that so i'm all about it, I would not like to have a lot of trucks. 226 00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:33.570 Sonya Young Jimenez: And maybe some events where we have music and art, you can go through melodies not on the call today but melodies are senior director at the site she handles all permits and special events on the Pier. 227 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.740 Sonya Young Jimenez: So if you do it independently, you can put out a if you want to collaborate with us. 228 00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:46.290 Sonya Young Jimenez: which saves you a lot of the permit fees kind of doing it together with record parks, then you don't have to pay all the fees and we can kind of do it as a team, maybe with the Venice you guys together or as a group. 229 00:23:46.890 --> 00:23:52.830 Sonya Young Jimenez: that's kind of how the Washington been did it and they paid for the movie you know licensing fee and then we'll be in everything. 230 00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:54.240 Nick Antonicello: Thank you. 231 00:23:54.750 --> 00:23:55.230 Sonya Young Jimenez: you're welcome. 232 00:23:57.270 --> 00:23:58.530 Brian Averill: I think Robin was not. 233 00:24:00.390 --> 00:24:08.970 Robin Rudisill: tanya two quick questions, one is, are you going to be having meetings like the ones Bob is to have for the ocean for walk stakeholders. 234 00:24:09.330 --> 00:24:14.370 Robin Rudisill: yeah second question is what kinds of beautification projects are you thinking of besides art. 235 00:24:15.270 --> 00:24:25.740 Sonya Young Jimenez: And perfect yes we're working on getting a park advisory board Committee which I brought on board had had some Members I don't think a lot of Members are coming back so we're looking to get new stakeholders on that board. 236 00:24:26.370 --> 00:24:34.830 Sonya Young Jimenez: melodies starting to work on that melody right now is only working by yourself, we were working to get another facility director and a coordinator so two more full time people to help melody. 237 00:24:35.430 --> 00:24:44.580 Sonya Young Jimenez: Hopefully, within the next couple months, so I haven't really tasked with doing all of it, yet she's handling there's so many permits at Venice you guys know we have movies, and special events so she's kind of overwhelmed. 238 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:46.980 Sonya Young Jimenez: But pretty soon we're going to start getting the. 239 00:24:47.130 --> 00:24:55.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: park advisory board together, which is a group of stakeholders and you guys, have a lot of different meetings on Venice i'm i'm in different business meetings every week, it would be nice they're like. 240 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.550 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think a lot of you guys are on some of the same bored so I see a lot of similar faces and the other things, oh so. 241 00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:15.330 Sonya Young Jimenez: i'm working with the Council office to identify some of our areas that really need improvement, I feel like the paddle tennis you guys have seen the fencing around the Pal tennis area that's our number one right now actually very dangerous and just the weather there Venice. 242 00:25:16.050 --> 00:25:27.480 Sonya Young Jimenez: has destroyed the fencing over the years, also the calisthenics area muscle beach is almost done should be opening probably in a couple weeks we're just waiting for the final things to get placed in there and then. 243 00:25:28.590 --> 00:25:36.810 Sonya Young Jimenez: I know, on the agenda, we can talk about that next with the the grass beautification irrigation that's going to be happening soon and mural projects so we're working with. 244 00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:52.260 Sonya Young Jimenez: what's it called the Chamber and the arts district to maybe put some mural installations, but we want to have it, we want to have Community input and have Community also join in doing the murals so we're going to do some Community outreach about that as well. 245 00:25:53.490 --> 00:25:53.940 Sonya Young Jimenez: It is. 246 00:25:53.970 --> 00:26:00.360 Robin Rudisill: Related to that, is there a plan regarding what happens if tense and encampments come back to the area. 247 00:26:01.650 --> 00:26:06.180 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah Let me move working on it for months since we started, but if you guys know what we did, like a phased approach. 248 00:26:06.870 --> 00:26:14.550 Sonya Young Jimenez: To remove the camp's encampments and now, of course, you know people are trickling back, and I think there's always been a homeless contingent at Venice but. 249 00:26:14.850 --> 00:26:21.240 Sonya Young Jimenez: We are we did bring back our night operations and and if you guys know, but we have staff that go in from one to six in the morning. 250 00:26:22.020 --> 00:26:27.270 Sonya Young Jimenez: mainly from two to five because that's the hours you cannot be on the boardwalk so they come in and they. 251 00:26:28.020 --> 00:26:31.680 Sonya Young Jimenez: have been removing encampments on Fridays and Sundays, in the middle of the night. 252 00:26:32.130 --> 00:26:45.000 Sonya Young Jimenez: And then we have Friday cleanups and Monday keynotes so Those are our main times we put in service tickets, and then we work with our big crew sanitation with le police department to to go in and force that. 253 00:26:49.830 --> 00:26:50.970 Brian Averill: jason's got a hand up. 254 00:26:51.570 --> 00:27:00.870 Jason: yeah yeah I guess no questions are asked for the boardwalk meaning regimen are they cleaning actual boardwalk strip itself in front of the businesses and how often is not happening. 255 00:27:01.530 --> 00:27:13.140 Jason: And next the paddle tennis courts, who and forces in a regulates that it's open people start there at 630 in the morning they're running around with electric leaf blowers. 256 00:27:13.710 --> 00:27:22.530 Jason: it's a giant kind of unregulated show going on yelling and stop early in the morning, seven days a week couple hours before they're supposed to. 257 00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:24.930 jim robb: Jason lives across from him. 258 00:27:26.250 --> 00:27:28.560 jim robb: he's kind of a lot he's got a lot of stuff going on. 259 00:27:28.590 --> 00:27:29.760 jim robb: By him so. 260 00:27:30.030 --> 00:27:36.060 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah I hear ya I like I said we're short staffed and I know that's not an excuse, but we don't have enough people to be monitoring it. 261 00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:43.770 Sonya Young Jimenez: I only have some staff morning we are looking when we get more of our full time staff to have someone at the muscle beach office, which is the Office like a muscle beach. 262 00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:52.110 Sonya Young Jimenez: More regulating that more and i'm going to check, we also have issues where people are charging fees and they should ask for private lessons that kind of thing so. 263 00:27:52.890 --> 00:27:59.310 Sonya Young Jimenez: You know, hopefully, the next couple months when we get our full time staff on board, we can monitor as far as the boardwalk it's kind of like we. 264 00:27:59.910 --> 00:28:05.370 Sonya Young Jimenez: Our main concern is trash all day that that takes most of the day to go all the way down the boardwalk with the amount of staff, I have. 265 00:28:05.670 --> 00:28:13.830 Sonya Young Jimenez: And then we kind of spot clean areas that we need to clean when I get more staff on board, then they'll be assigned zones and i'm hoping that the zones will be you know if they if they're in zone. 266 00:28:14.760 --> 00:28:27.180 Sonya Young Jimenez: The peers down it'll be all the way from the you know till we get to the stand and the boardwalk that'll be their zone area so i'm hoping to get like groups of two or three will have their zone, every day, and then I can hold them accountable for for cleaning their areas. 267 00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:45.210 Jason: A carpenter souza who is responsible for enforcing all the fact that there's like hot dog carts and corn cards and postcards and it's turned into kind of like a greasy boardwalk retail Vending yeah. 268 00:28:45.270 --> 00:28:55.140 jim robb: And we got we got a guy that set of bbq next to the the hamburger place and dumped his charcoal out, he was he was selling hamburgers right next to the hamburger joint so. 269 00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.820 jim robb: Good question Jason. 270 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:07.680 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah so in all enforcement and lapd we don't have any enforcement rights, I haven't worked with monique and you know we've been talking about a lot of different issues scooters the Vending spaces. 271 00:29:08.610 --> 00:29:15.900 Sonya Young Jimenez: So those have been ongoing conversations is really lapd I can't do anything even right now, a lot of those are a citations which doesn't mean anything anybody. 272 00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:27.870 Sonya Young Jimenez: is really sad people just get them and they kind of know that they're going to get that only we are working with monique with miss contrary to our senior lead officer to do a public health kind of enforcement to have them come in and remove them. 273 00:29:29.010 --> 00:29:38.550 Sonya Young Jimenez: More often but that's when people kind of stopped coming when they take all their items away it's kind of sad but people you know could be on the the walk streets with permits, but not on the boardwalk so. 274 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:51.210 Jason: Far doesn't justify the profit they're making the guy selling fruit will make four or $500 a day selling fruit and cash make a few thousand dollars a month pay $500 fine that's essentially right right. 275 00:29:51.540 --> 00:30:00.210 Jason: And so we're not motivated right and so it's like we want to bring back Venice to bring the tourist back, but it's kind of turning. 276 00:30:00.510 --> 00:30:06.180 Jason: To there's no more artists performing with the lottery system it's kind of just like this really hawker ish. 277 00:30:06.780 --> 00:30:22.020 Jason: feeling going on and I guess the bring people back we'd have to bring back the public relations and Venice, which is art and music and the things to wipe away that stain that everyone remembers and kotel concierge is on the travel agents are the ones that are are driving all that. 278 00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:34.200 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah I agree, I think you know reaching out to your Council office or the police Department on the enforcement his aspects when i'm working with them on my side too, but I can only you know i'm working together. 279 00:30:34.800 --> 00:30:35.130 well. 280 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:48.240 jim robb: we'll try we'll try

of you have. 304 00:32:38.340 --> 00:32:50.970 Sean obrien: i'm like semi like new to this with the boardwalk parks and recs and whatnot all but my my feeling is ECHO park was such a phenomenal success. 305 00:32:51.390 --> 00:33:02.910 Sean obrien: But meanwhile parks and REC and then is is either being depleted funds that all and if we're not able to follow through and I just wonder. 306 00:33:03.330 --> 00:33:23.490 Sean obrien: You know what's going to happen in the future, now that summer's over and we got a lagging like in the tourists and we'll have parks and REC and they will like blame it on due to lack of funding, because that's what i've heard in the past couple of weeks um and then. 307 00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:30.660 Sean obrien: And then allow these encampments to continue to proliferate and and make. 308 00:33:30.690 --> 00:33:32.280 Sean obrien: and make it worse for the. 309 00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:45.030 Sean obrien: The locals the businesses, etc, and I sure hope that you're way better than the guy that preceded you, but I would love to hear your answers for that, but I do thank you. 310 00:33:46.080 --> 00:33:46.620 Brian Averill: Thanks john. 311 00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:56.250 Sonya Young Jimenez: Thank you Sean I feel your concern and we have been addressing it like I said we we went back to do an evening, even though a lot of the agencies or. 312 00:33:56.670 --> 00:34:04.980 Sonya Young Jimenez: You know we're pulling resources from all over the city and everyone's kind of short right now and staff so we're pulling from sanitation from lapd for making products from our Rangers. 313 00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:15.960 Sonya Young Jimenez: To make sure that Venice does not go back and I think we'd be you know I think Venice has always had a homeless people in Venice and we just don't want it to get back to it even close to what it was before. 314 00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:22.500 Sonya Young Jimenez: But yeah we're going to be on top of it, we have you know we have three allocated our staffing, to make sure that they're there at. 315 00:34:22.890 --> 00:34:31.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: Two in the morning till five in the morning, that they're addressing and getting these encampments off of the beach we're going to do that for several more weeks to see how it goes, and we are doing the cleanups. 316 00:34:34.230 --> 00:34:34.590 Sonya Young Jimenez: They were. 317 00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:53.940 Sean obrien: selected, we only had her losses count 167 homeless so everybody always uses all Venice is always had homeless, yes, we have for they've always been manageable they've always been small numbers and and. 318 00:34:54.240 --> 00:35:11.100 Sean obrien: The homeless, that we had we're we're we're not drug addicted fenton all methods that are now, you know that are now like like re wreaking havoc on not only the tourists, but the the. 319 00:35:11.580 --> 00:35:14.400 Sean obrien: The neighbors the people who live here the residents. 320 00:35:14.850 --> 00:35:27.180 Sean obrien: And the crime rate is sword because of that so it's a whole new animal now and it's a whole new ball game and I always hate to hear that Venice has always had a homeless population. 321 00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:40.290 Sean obrien: Then, has had a homeless population of 167 people per losses count and night and 2013 so please don't use that as an excuse, but I do. 322 00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:46.830 Brian Averill: want to keep moving on we have one more public comment that's from a carrie. 323 00:35:48.450 --> 00:35:49.680 Brian Averill: carrie I hope I got the right. 324 00:35:50.310 --> 00:35:50.820 There you go. 325 00:35:52.380 --> 00:35:54.300 cari devine bjelajac: hey Brian Sonia how are you. 326 00:35:54.450 --> 00:35:55.260 Sonya Young Jimenez: i'm good I carry. 327 00:35:55.590 --> 00:36:01.530 cari devine bjelajac: um I wanted to let you know that, this morning I was walking by a rather large. 328 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:17.220 cari devine bjelajac: 10th list and encampment in the park avenue pagodas and all of the reckon parks trucks were lined up there, there was a full on and cabinet with two beds, including headboards and other furnishings. 329 00:36:17.700 --> 00:36:28.260 cari devine bjelajac: And two o'clock this afternoon, I actually met with department of mental health, to take them on a tour of the boardwalk and that encampment was still there, fully furnished. 330 00:36:29.250 --> 00:36:38.760 cari devine bjelajac: With those beds and all of the bulky items were still there, is there a reason why that wasn't taking care of this morning, while you were out. 331 00:36:40.020 --> 00:36:50.610 Sonya Young Jimenez: So I don't know if it was posted as long, I mean, I think you know carry if anybody knows that we have to post before we take them out, they are working on a new protocol, which hopefully will do zone approaches. 332 00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:55.890 Sonya Young Jimenez: But reckon park still has the posting so if it wasn't posted prior to them in there, they couldn't have removed that in Canada. 333 00:36:56.310 --> 00:37:05.970 cari devine bjelajac: I yeah I just wondered when that new protocol is going to go into effect, and when those signs will be posted because it's been several weeks that we've been hearing that and still the same. 334 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:07.950 cari devine bjelajac: issue. 335 00:37:08.370 --> 00:37:18.720 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah I hear ya um it's in the attorneys hands, so when the attorneys are done with it then they'll, let us have it, we did post today for that encampment already so the next cleanup is Friday. 336 00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:20.760 cari devine bjelajac: Alright, thanks so much Sonia. 337 00:37:21.660 -->

me. 339 00:37:29.490 --> 00:37:33.360 Noel Johnston: yeah i'm Sonia got a quick question about the. 340 00:37:34.770 --> 00:37:49.170 Noel Johnston: area between the bike path and the boardwalk is basically stretches in one way or another, from navy, all the way down to Washington square do you have specific plans for this area, and what are they. 341 00:37:50.100 --> 00:37:52.020 Sonya Young Jimenez: mean on the grassy knolls or. 342 00:37:52.350 --> 00:37:56.250 Noel Johnston: Well, no, not just the grassy knolls because the the. 343 00:37:56.880 --> 00:38:11.820 Noel Johnston: reckon Park Area is a small strip that runs between the bike path and they boardwalk pretty much from navy, all the way down to Washington Square and it isn't always a grassy knoll. 344 00:38:12.210 --> 00:38:26.070 Noel Johnston: In some areas it's it's grass in some areas it's just saying that the very North end where my houses it's just saying there is no grass there, but there is a sprinkler system under it and. 345 00:38:27.630 --> 00:38:32.550 Noel Johnston: I know I know more about it at the north end that I do anywhere else but i'm also aware of the fact that. 346 00:38:33.240 --> 00:38:45.300 Noel Johnston: grass seems appropriate in some areas, and really not appropriate and others so i'm just curious as to what your plans are for that entire area stretching from the North to the South. 347 00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:49.920 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think that the item on the agenda to me they're just said now, or do you want me to. 348 00:38:50.160 --> 00:39:02.940 Noel Johnston: I think that I don't think that necessarily talking about the motion i'm curious about your plans for this area, as they exist right now. 349 00:39:04.080 --> 00:39:11.970 Sonya Young Jimenez: Okay, so as of right now we've had some contractors come out we're working on, we just repaired all the main lines, we had a lot of main lines that were broken. 350 00:39:12.300 --> 00:39:18.660 Sonya Young Jimenez: Along the boardwalk due to the encampments and all the people that were on the boardwalk so those have been repaired we're working on repairing all the sprinklers. 351 00:39:19.530 --> 00:39:26.760 Sonya Young Jimenez: Right now and then we're working with the contractor to resolve, we were looking, we are still looking at, but I want to get them. 352 00:39:27.930 --> 00:39:30.900 Sonya Young Jimenez: architect out to get some ideas on some different types of. 353 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:45.570 Sonya Young Jimenez: Either landscaping or materials or rocks or I don't know so ideas and what we can do along that path, but you're right it doesn't all have to be solid, it can be different items, and I also want to get Community influx I know, in the past. 354 00:39:46.860 --> 00:39:51.780 Sonya Young Jimenez: Community ways and heavily and then maybe sometimes projects don't get done so i'd love to you know have. 355 00:39:52.530 --> 00:40:01.170 Sonya Young Jimenez: Some ideas, but I am working with some i'm going to start looking into with through our foundation some landscape architects who could come up with some drawings along the boardwalk. 356 00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:11.730 Sonya Young Jimenez: In the meantime we're just looking to restart it and just get the grass back on there for now and then lower the berms a little bit because they're growing really high and some areas as well, so we'll be taking out some sand. 357 00:40:14.130 --> 00:40:14.580 Noel Johnston: Thank you. 358 00:40:15.330 --> 00:40:15.750 Sonya Young Jimenez: Thank you. 359 00:40:19.260 --> 00:40:20.100 Sonya Young Jimenez: Thank you, Jim. 360 00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:28.380 jim robb: try to get Brian back in here for some reason my computer's not

Noel Johnston: um I think this motor is a little bag, I like to know i'd like the definition of grass here is um I would, I think that. 442 00:49:55.110 --> 00:50:07.140 Noel Johnston: Is Sonia has previously said that they intend on receiving them and taking some side out and prove putting the other side in but I. 443 00:50:07.710 --> 00:50:18.900 Noel Johnston: I think that the entire grassy area from the north end to the south and needs to be rethought, there are some areas that are appropriate to grass, but there are many that aren't and it's. 444 00:50:19.590 --> 00:50:33.870 Noel Johnston: I think it's naive and perhaps not forward thinking to imagine that we can continue to irrigate grass along this entire expanse in the future. 445 00:50:36.120 --> 00:50:36.960 Noel Johnston: My comment. 446 00:50:37.410 --> 00:50:38.070 jim robb: Thank you. 447 00:50:38.550 --> 00:50:41.790 Nick Antonicello: Order water are we closing public comment. 448 00:50:43.980 -->

they support this motion. 465 00:52:30.150 --> 00:52:51.120 Sean obrien: I have several several of memories of all the grassy areas that are now defunct and our sand because of problems that existed in the past two years, as So please, please. 466 00:52:52.500 --> 00:52:54.360 Sean obrien: Do this I thank you. 467 00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:55.980 jim robb: Thank you. 468 00:52:57.810 --> 00:52:59.250 jim robb: That is it for public comment. 469 00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:03.600 Nick Antonicello: for discussing. 470 00:53:04.110 --> 00:53:05.610 jim robb: or discussion, please. 471 00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:17.370 Nick Antonicello: Well, all to say is that this is the very reason why I got involved with that is neighborhood Council 10 years ago 11 years ago. 472 00:53:18.150 --> 00:53:28.650 Nick Antonicello: Because of the condition of the grassy knolls and one of the problems, back then, and we have this this committee has passed similar most instruments in the past. 473 00:53:29.610 --> 00:53:40.890 Nick Antonicello: Where who is actually responsible for the grassy knoll the city or the county and my understanding is is that the city is responsible for the maintenance of the grassy knoll. 474 00:53:42.480 --> 00:54:01.380 Nick Antonicello: I agree with Noel in that some parts definitely you know, putting the grass starting it up and getting it straightened out as a good idea, but some of it may need more sophisticated landscaping just to make sure that the divide is obvious and i'm sure you know. 475 00:54:02.490 --> 00:54:10.740 Nick Antonicello: When the city decides to take a look at Adrian a landscape architect he'll probably make the same recommendations to the city so. 476 00:54:12.720 --> 00:54:25.470 Nick Antonicello: This is emotion that has been passed in the past, and unfortunately we went through this whole thing with the homeless situation so i'm urging the rest of the board to to approve it thanks. 477 00:54:27.180 --> 00:54:28.650 jim robb: Thank you, Robin. 478 00:54:29.550 --> 00:54:38.910 Robin Rudisill: How long the lines that mall mail just spoke about a minute ago I just heard from Sean that some grassy areas, formerly grassy areas have become sandy. 479 00:54:39.420 --> 00:54:49.980 Robin Rudisill: And so i'm a little bit confused about how the grassy areas are going to be defined exactly which areas are we talking about adding grass side, etc. 480 00:54:55.050 --> 00:54:57.630 jim robb: So had a question for anybody, or what. 481 00:54:58.830 --> 00:55:02.130 Robin Rudisill: Is the question, maybe saga has the answer I don't know. 482 00:55:03.720 --> 00:55:12.180 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah so I went through with my maintenance and construction team to see where we kind of irrigation before where there was saying before we identify those areas already. 483 00:55:13.230 --> 00:55:20.370 Sonya Young Jimenez: So majority of it, I mean there are some areas we think there are a lot of areas I really think we could do a whole different landscaping design, but that would take. 484 00:55:21.570 --> 00:55:30.150 Sonya Young Jimenez: it's a different process and they'll take a lot longer so for right now I think phase one is do the siding and phase two is to get an architect, and to see what different elements, you can use. 485 00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:39.600 Sonya Young Jimenez: Different natural what are they called now all native yeah some native plants and some something that wouldn't require as much irrigation but. 486 00:55:40.080 --> 00:55:49.110 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think it has to be a phased approach we can't if we wait to do the other one that nothing's gonna happen so i'd rather we at least beautified for now and then start thinking of what the long term plan is going to be for the boardwalk. 487 00:55:49.470 --> 00:55:53.100 Robin Rudisill: So essentially we're supporting your phase one project. 488 00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:54.390 Correct. 489 00:55:55.620 --> 00:55:56.400 Sonya Young Jimenez: sounds like it yeah. 490 00:55:58.500 --> 00:56:05.940 Sean obrien: So let's spend a million dollars on an architect, but let's plant cactus I don't know come on guys. 491 00:56:07.980 --> 00:56:13.020 Sonya Young Jimenez: I didn't say cactus but I guess, whatever the architect says i'm not planning on spending a million dollars in marketing. 492 00:56:17.730 --> 00:56:19.410 Nick Antonicello: Know like to speak to. 493 00:56:22.980 --> 00:56:25.200 Noel Johnston: Have Nick can everybody hear me. 494 00:56:26.520 --> 00:56:37.770 Noel Johnston: Okay um I just want to say that I don't think that Sony has any plans on hiring a million dollar architect, and we have many architects in our Venice neighborhood. 495 00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:45.180 Noel Johnston: That have interesting landscaping plans for this, we also have many landscapers that have interesting ideas about this. 496 00:56:45.600 --> 00:56:55.980 Noel Johnston: There are many people that have have voiced interest in this over the years I have been talking to one element or another, for over 12 years about this, and there are. 497 00:56:56.310 --> 00:57:13.560 Noel Johnston: Many people that have interesting ideas about this, mostly forward thinking people that are concerned about the water issues in the future, many people are encouraging about using native plantings which I think are still possible. 498 00:57:14.580 --> 00:57:27.690 Noel Johnston: people that have interesting ideas about succulents that are not just the usual cactus like things that are going in all over Venice, which you know I think kind of deploy our mobile because they don't. 499 00:57:28.860 --> 00:57:33.180 Noel Johnston: Support the local fauna at at all. 500 00:57:34.350 --> 00:57:45.240 Noel Johnston: There are lots of people that have imaginative ideas about this and Sonia seems to be very open to this and willing to meet with with all groups individuals and firms. 501 00:57:48.360 --> 00:58:01.560 Sean obrien: This was an has been the second largest tourist destination in southern California only second to Disneyland and you guys want to like. 502 00:58:02.190 --> 00:58:16.830 Sean obrien: pennies and like blame the drought those so what now all of a sudden disneyland's get it like like change all their like riverboat and all their like actions, because of the drought know so so. 503 00:58:17.370 --> 00:58:40.950 Sean obrien: You know, we don't need to spend a million dollars in a might not be not as it might be $100,000 it might be $200,000 it doesn't matter, the amount, but we don't need specialist to come in and say this is what we want to do, we can do this as a Venice neighborhood Council and this board. 504 00:58:41.130 --> 00:58:41.970 Sean obrien: is more. 505 00:58:42.240 --> 00:58:43.500 Sean obrien: More than capable. 506 00:58:43.860 --> 00:58:46.470 Sean obrien: They can make it public comment, we already had public. 507 00:58:46.470 --> 00:58:49.650 jim robb: comment, thank you, that will take that into consideration. 508 00:58:50.100 --> 00:58:52.020 jim robb: All right, are we going to thank

01:04:43.530 --> 01:04:44.220 jim robb: For the last year. 578 01:04:50.730 --> 01:04:51.270 jim robb: Thank you. 579 01:04:52.980 --> 01:04:53.580 jim robb: All right. 580 01:04:55.170 -->

meetings with everybody involved in the encampment to home project. 582 01:05:10.620 --> 01:05:20.970 cari devine bjelajac: One of the key elements that we realized was, for example, Griffith park has had over 10 park Rangers in their park. 583 01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:36.600 cari devine bjelajac: We have zero park Rangers station, for our part, we are much, much larger in terms of our attendance and

--> 01:06:22.230 jim robb: She could, if she could, if she could get on and speak I see her as an attendee but. 590 01:06:23.610 --> 01:06:26.730 jim robb: I have not able to give her a microphone. 591 01:06:30.510 --> 01:06:31.470 Robin Rudisill: Okay well. 592 01:06:32.940 --> 01:06:42.720 Robin Rudisill: My question is, and maybe I missed something, but I was listening pretty carefully why hasn't been as had this presence automatically, and this is. 593 01:06:43.020 --> 01:06:54.480 Robin Rudisill: Part of you know, the normal allocation of Rangers to all the cities parts there's some reason, did we used to have presence in it and it went away or you know what's. 594 01:06:56.190 --> 01:06:57.060 Robin Rudisill: Why haven't we had it. 595 01:06:58.470 --> 01:06:59.040 jim robb: Okay. 596 01:07:01.620 --> 01:07:02.580 jim robb: I have no idea. 597 01:07:03.870 --> 01:07:07.950 Nick Antonicello: i've invested 30 years i've never seen a park ranger Venice beach ever. 598 01:07:09.750 --> 01:07:10.590 Nick Antonicello: So I you know. 599 01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:13.860 jim robb: So yeah what you got any input on this. 600 01:07:14.190 --> 01:07:22.590 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah right now we only have 26 park Rangers for the whole city that's for over 400 facilities to get a park ranger they have to go through the police academy the. 601 01:07:23.580 --> 01:07:30.390 Sonya Young Jimenez: academy the Sheriff Academy, so it does take over about two years to get them through the process so it's a long process. 602 01:07:30.720 --> 01:07:39.420 Sonya Young Jimenez: Chief world it was a rally is aware that we want one at Venice and he's looking for his next round to get one Alex at least we did. 603 01:07:40.170 --> 01:07:42.630 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think, someone mentioned, I think, Brian that the substation. 604 01:07:42.990 --> 01:07:52.590 Sonya Young Jimenez: was kind of set up at westminister and then we just didn't have enough just to have one dedicated there I don't think there's been one dedicated but they had been there, especially these last four months pretty much weekly and Venice. 605 01:07:54.240 --> 01:07:55.170 jim robb: Thank you, Sonia. 606 01:07:56.280 --> 01:07:57.270 jim robb: All right, no well. 607 01:07:57.690 --> 01:08:06.000 Noel Johnston: um I i've been involved a little bit and trying to get a ranger in the past, and one of the things. 608 01:08:06.660 --> 01:08:13.200 Noel Johnston: And i'm underlining what Sonia already said was that they have very few of these park Rangers in the city. 609 01:08:13.530 --> 01:08:22.470 Noel Johnston: And they they lose the middle fairly great way because apparently their their training makes them eligible for jobs that are that pay more. 610 01:08:22.770 --> 01:08:36.540 Noel Johnston: And are in better circumstances so they don't stay around very long so it's it's a position that is pretty hard to film and there are a lot of people that want to do it so. 611 01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:40.500 Noel Johnston: that's that's a little bit of information that I have. 612 01:08:41.400 --> 01:08:50.730 Sonya Young Jimenez: Now that's a great point, since they go through the Academy, they do get they do qualify to go into police or sheriff's and a lot of them do move over, and it is more pace so you're right. 613 01:08:51.780 --> 01:08:52.170 Noel Johnston: Thanks. 614 01:08:53.370 --> 01:08:53.880 jim robb: Robin. 615 01:08:54.990 --> 01:08:55.470 Noel Johnston: Do. 616 01:08:58.860 --> 01:08:59.250 jim robb: You. 617 01:08:59.460 --> 01:09:09.360 Robin Rudisill: I have a question for Brian who wrote the motion, when you say regularly scheduled park ranger presence, does that mean just one. 618 01:09:10.740 --> 01:09:11.670 Robin Rudisill: or or more. 619 01:09:14.400 --> 01:09:20.880 jim robb: and forwarded to an automatic well brian's can't be on the call right now and kids speak so we'll have to ask him that question later. 620 01:09:22.710 --> 01:09:25.020 jim robb: There he is right. 621 01:09:26.580 --> 01:09:29.580 jim robb: Joe sorry this was ridiculous I know it is hot. 622 01:09:31.830 --> 01:09:34.860 jim robb: And the idea was just to have to Rangers on very. 623 01:09:36.090 --> 01:09:43.470 jim robb: Interesting visual presence on the boardwalk and just have some sort of establish base or substation. 624 01:09:45.930 --> 01:09:46.200 jim robb: Because. 625 01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:48.720 jim robb: I think it deserves it. 626 01:09:51.060 --> 01:09:51.420 Robin Rudisill: So. 627 01:09:52.260 --> 01:09:52.920 jim robb: to your question. 628 01:09:53.310 --> 01:10:01.710 Robin Rudisill: I think so, so when we're talking about too Is that correct is that your understanding, as well as what's to be sent to us. 629 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:04.620 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think we'll be lucky if we get one. 630 01:10:05.820 --> 01:10:13.320 Sonya Young Jimenez: I mean, I think the next round, I mean if we got one i'd be amazing I mean to would be good, so they can have two shifts you know, whatever the ship's maybe. 631 01:10:13.770 --> 01:10:28.710 Sonya Young Jimenez: It really depends on how many go through academy and so they've had like maybe 15 go through Academy, maybe four paths, I mean they have to go it's really rigorous, you can get failed the last week, if you don't finish the last exam so it just depends on how many past the Academy. 632 01:10:29.820 --> 01:10:35.580 Robin Rudisill: All right, then, I have a motion to amend this motion to say that. 633 01:10:36.780 --> 01:10:39.870 Robin Rudisill: The dnc formally request that a permanent regularly scheduled. 634 01:10:41.400 --> 01:10:47.130 Robin Rudisill: park ranger Presidents have to Rangers be initiated so that are requested specifically to. 635 01:10:48.300 --> 01:10:51.180 Robin Rudisill: In at least in our request that's fine. 636 01:10:52.350 --> 01:10:52.950 jim robb: Okay. 637 01:10:53.550 --> 01:11:01.590 Nick Antonicello: To be a friendly amendment and just added to the motion for to there's no need for, and then you can just pull 72. 638 01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:05.190 jim robb: Okay. 639 01:11:08.820 --> 01:11:09.510 jim robb: So stated. 640 01:11:10.590 --> 01:11:11.520 jim robb: About a call about. 641 01:11:13.020 --> 01:11:15.570 jim robb: Judy you have a quick comment go ahead quickly. 642 01:11:17.340 --> 01:11:27.510 Judy Goldman: Yes, um so several months back a group of us met with the Commissioners recreation and parks Commissioners. 643 01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:36.420 Judy Goldman: And they told us that to park Rangers would be on the way to Venice that they had recently, or that they would be graduating. 644 01:11:37.200 --> 01:11:48.630 Judy Goldman: in the very near future, so I don't understand why that hasn't happened, or why we even have to ask for it, and I believe that there was an issue that was being voted on. 645 01:11:49.110 --> 01:11:58.350 Judy Goldman: And there was some concern about whether they would be armed or not I don't know what happened to that issue, I certainly would be. 646 01:11:59.370 --> 01:12:14.670 Judy Goldman: I guess, there was some question about whether the Rangers wanted to come to Venice with out being armed I don't think they're armed anywhere else, so I don't know why they would be armed here, but we were promised by the Commissioners to park Rangers. 647 01:12:17.010 --> 01:12:17.730 jim robb: Thank you. 648 01:12:19.050 --> 01:12:19.590 jim robb: All right. 649 01:12:20.850 --> 01:12:22.410 jim robb: Public comment was. 650 01:12:23.610 --> 01:12:23.790 Judy Goldman: well. 651 01:12:24.480 --> 01:12:26.580 jim robb: i'll give you one quick minute go ahead. 652 01:12:28.230

655 01:12:43.050 --> 01:12:51.720 Lisa Redmond: The whole i'll let it slide this time, but the whole friendly amendment thing people don't quite understand what it is and a friendly amendment still has to be handled. 656 01:12:52.200 --> 01:13:07.320 Lisa Redmond: The way any amendment does it has to go through the entire assembly, it must be full consent to the amendment by majority vote through unanimous consent open to public comment again, so I just we're all slipping into that and I just wanted to point that out that's all right. 657 01:13:07.530 --> 01:13:07.890 i'm just. 658 01:13:09.180 --> 01:13:09.660 Lisa Redmond: Thank you. 659 01:13:11.820 --> 01:13:18.090 jim robb: All right, well we're gonna take a vote on this one, because we can and Lisa said we could so. 660

it but. 678 01:14:49.020 --> 01:14:49.620 They were torn up. 679 01:14:51.390 --> 01:14:53.160 Nick Antonicello: something done what would discussion. 680 01:14:55.140 --> 01:14:57.060 I think we're

Jason Douglas and with people in many different departments in the city of Los Angeles, even before coven was even before we the lockdown started starting about a year and a half ago. 686 01:15:33.030 --> 01:15:35.370 Sean obrien: We all get their bill last month. 687 01:15:35.940 --> 01:15:36.990 Judy Goldman: Excuse me, will. 688 01:15:37.260 --> 01:15:38.010 jim robb: You, please. 689 01:15:38.730 --> 01:15:49.920 Judy Goldman: We noticed that there was markings on all the walk streets numbers and I reached out to the city to find out what they were because it looked like there was some kind of infrastructure. 690 01:15:50.340 --> 01:15:55.860 Judy Goldman: of work that was going to be happening on all the walk streets and then the work started on paloma. 691 01:15:56.310 --> 01:16:02.160 Judy Goldman: And the whole street was torn up and as Brian pointed out, it was the water, the historic walk street. 692 01:16:02.670 --> 01:16:11.580 Judy Goldman: was replaced with something that was inappropriate with with asphalt, and I have an email here from Jason Douglas. 693 01:16:12.030 --> 01:16:18.180 Judy Goldman: who informed me that the building and safety inspector was there that they were checking on it. 694 01:16:18.540 --> 01:16:30.030 Judy Goldman: And that the work he is claiming was emergency work he doesn't know why the rest of our streets have numbers he's going to try to find out if there's infrastructure work plan. 695 01:16:30.570 --> 01:16:37.320 Judy Goldman: But in the meantime, he said that there he's asked the city to expedite paving of paloma. 696 01:16:38.070 --> 01:16:43.590 Judy Goldman: And he's claiming that what's there is temporary asphalt and is going to be removed. 697 01:16:43.980 --> 01:17:00.600 Judy Goldman: And he also said that he doesn't know of any other emergency work on any other walk streets but they're still investigating these markings and i'm still working with them to find out what this mystery was because i'm concerned that there is some kind of utility. 698 01:17:01.950 --> 01:17:10.320 Judy Goldman: Infrastructure that's going to happen on the rest of our walk streets, and I think there there's also when I got a notice from the city. 699 01:17:10.650 --> 01:17:28.740 Judy Goldman: They plan to do some kind of infrastructure on adjacent to ocean front walk there's going to be a closure, I understand, of speedway to do some of this work, so I think it'd be important for us to look into it more in love with Jason and make sure that it happens. 700 01:17:30.720 --> 01:17:32.040 jim robb: Thank you all right. 701 01:17:33.090 --> 01:17:38.190 jim robb: shawn says, I can hear you speak a quick comment, and then you please. 702 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:42.030 Sean obrien: hey Jesse is our brother he's done so much. 703 01:17:42.150 --> 01:17:44.460 jim robb: it's not, this was not Jesse strong. 704 01:17:45.120 --> 01:17:46.950 jim robb: This is about streets. 705 01:17:48.120 --> 01:17:49.050 jim robb: walk streets. 706 01:17:51.540 --> 01:17:55.590 Sean obrien: make you the all motion before. 707 01:17:56.730 --> 01:17:59.280 jim robb: That jesse's motions next john. 708 01:18:01.020 --> 01:18:04.800 jim robb: On get on this is about walk streets being repaved. 709 01:18:06.300 --> 01:18:15.990 Sean obrien: Oh yes, absolutely walk speech needs to repaved they've been disregarded for years So yes, I support you guys, thank you. 710 01:18:16.380 --> 01:18:20.520 jim robb: Thank you grace lower your hand Judy lower your hand Helen you're on. 711 01:18:21.990 --> 01:18:39.840 Helen Fallon: Now, I just have a suggestion So yes, might help everybody hear that when you're doing a motion once it's been seconded take clarifying questions from your committee members, you know, like Robin had a question about the motion that's more helpful for us in the audience, because you might. 712 01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:43.710 Helen Fallon: have actually covered, you know answered, something we were going to ask so. 713 01:18:44.160 --> 01:18:57.960 Helen Fallon: And then you take the board discussion afterwards, you know, so you can just ask if anybody's got questions about emotions clarify then move on to the public comments just as it's an easier format other words do it and it works, it really works much more. 714 01:19:00.810 --> 01:19:01.320 Robin Rudisill: like that. 715 01:19:04.140 --> 01:19:11.700 jim robb: Okay Oh, the public comments are out should we take a vote on this well. 716 01:19:11.790 --> 01:19:12.750 jim robb: Robin go ahead. 717 01:19:13.500 --> 01:19:17.100 Robin Rudisill: um my question is I just don't think the motion is. 718 01:19:17.100 --> 01:19:19.680 Robin Rudisill: Clear for one I don't know what it. 719 01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:20.520 jim robb: means to review. 720 01:19:22.410 --> 01:19:32.280 Robin Rudisill: I don't know what it means that these walks us are not remotely a da compliant were they another not anymore, or what I don't understand what the problem is there. 721 01:19:32.760 --> 01:19:43.680 Robin Rudisill: I don't understand, I mean it's not clear that they're using asphalt, as opposed to the existing material used on his boardwalk streets and still there, possibly damaging. 722 01:19:44.100 --> 01:19:55.590 Robin Rudisill: These historic resources and then also I am not clear on what a reasonable temporary solution means, what are we solving with and what temporary solution is it. 723 01:19:56.070 --> 01:20:05.520 Robin Rudisill: I am uncomfortable voting on this, as it is, I think it's there's several places where it's just not clear and i'd like to support the general concept that we have to clear this up. 724 01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:09.660 Robin Rudisill: Maybe maybe Brian can do that, since he originally wrote it. 725 01:20:13.020 --> 01:20:13.650 jim robb: Can you guys hear me. 726 01:20:14.610 --> 01:20:14.790 yeah. 727 01:20:16.290 --> 01:20:17.910 jim robb: Okay cool so rather thick. 728 01:20:19.020 --> 01:20:23.700 jim robb: physically toward up some repairs and then just go off. 729 01:20:25.350 --> 01:20:25.950 jim robb: into the hole. 730 01:20:27.060 --> 01:20:27.330 jim robb: and 731 01:20:29.220 --> 01:20:43.950 jim robb: So folks in wheelchairs or or people cannot cannot get through this party and thought and thought out, it works so i'm saying is either finishing a timely manner or. 732 01:20:45.030 --> 01:20:50.610 jim robb: Over it just something so it's not this sorry fans on Wall Street. 733 01:20:53.580 --> 01:20:55.440 jim robb: All right, well. 734 01:20:56.040 --> 01:20:59.400 Noel Johnston: Which which walks through exactly are we talking. 735 01:20:59.400 --> 01:21:01.950 Noel Johnston: About i'm kinda was Robin on this. 736 01:21:03.480 --> 01:21:03.720 Noel Johnston: i'm. 737 01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:08.130 Noel Johnston: not aware of the of the circumstances and I. 738 01:21:09.900 --> 01:21:16.320 Noel Johnston: It sounds it sounds like brian's absolutely right, but i'm just i'm not informed on the circumstances. 739 01:21:17.070 --> 01:21:18.510 jim robb: Brian just said paloma. 740 01:21:19.470 --> 01:21:20.340 Noel Johnston: anywhere else. 741 01:21:21.810 --> 01:21:22.290 jim robb: Ryan. 742 01:21:24.480 --> 01:21:28.560 jim robb: told that they picked up a few over here, the one that I know for certain. 743 01:21:30.390 --> 01:21:31.950 jim robb: Disclosure because I live on. 744 01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:39.660 jim robb: your hands up do you have a walk street. 745 01:21:40.020 --> 01:21:46.530 Judy Goldman: yeah so the only street that I know about this dog dog is paloma. 746 01:21:46.890 --> 01:21:47.190 jim robb: Okay. 747 01:21:47.430 --> 01:21:59.070 Judy Goldman: Thank you, excuse me, my understanding is that because it's a historic walk street it's the the pavement that was there, the concrete should be replaced with the same material. 748 01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:11.580 Judy Goldman: and putting asphalt, there is not a solution, the concern is that the other walk streets all have markings on them, and it looks like we're all designated for some kind of infrastructural work. 749 01:22:11.730 --> 01:22:13.800 jim robb: Okay, thank you know well. 750 01:22:14.070 --> 01:22:22.140 Noel Johnston: We don't we don't seem to know what this is, and I don't think we can say multiple streets because it doesn't multiple streets, it seems to be paloma. 751 01:22:23.700 --> 01:22:24.930 jim robb: Okay, Robin. 752 01:22:25.200 --> 01:22:25.980 Judy Goldman: that's right. 753 01:22:28.260 --> 01:22:28.620 Robin Rudisill: well. 754 01:22:29.760 --> 01:22:32.820 Robin Rudisill: Can I propose some changes to make it more clear. 755 01:22:32.940 --> 01:22:34.560 jim robb: Yes, you may okay. 756 01:22:34.590 --> 01:22:40.320 Robin Rudisill: For example, um whereas paloma avenue was torn up for repairs recently. 757 01:22:41.730 --> 01:22:46.560 Robin Rudisill: yeah and other walk streets in the area appeared to be marked for same. 758 01:22:48.840 --> 01:22:53.040 Robin Rudisill: Whereas when they were haphazardly. 759 01:22:54.180 --> 01:22:59.580 Robin Rudisill: Whereas paloma was as ugly covered over with loose soft asphalt. 760 01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:04.800 Robin Rudisill: which caused it to no longer be a da compliant. 761 01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:14.760 Robin Rudisill: I guess the dnc request that timely the timely completion of this project and that I temporary solution. 762 01:23:15.960 --> 01:23:27.330 Robin Rudisill: To this problem, we adopted immediately, in addition, as this is a historic walk straight we most recommended the same materials be used so as not to. 763 01:23:29.250 --> 01:23:34.650 Robin Rudisill: damage the storage resources these these historic walk streets. 764 01:23:35.820 --> 01:23:37.380 jim robb: So this is now I do motion. 765 01:23:38.100 --> 01:23:39.990 Nick Antonicello: know those revisions to the most. 766 01:23:40.860 --> 01:23:42.660 jim robb: Those are the new revisions to the motion. 767 01:23:45.570 --> 01:23:52.920 Noel Johnston: Can I can I ask why where are talking about a reasonable temporary solution for we requesting a solution. 768 01:23:58.320 --> 01:23:59.430 Robin Rudisill: Maybe immediate. 769 01:24:01.740 --> 01:24:01.980 Robin Rudisill: I can. 770 01:24:05.490 --> 01:24:08.760 Robin Rudisill: Temporary to immediate yeah good. 771 01:24:09.480 --> 01:24:09.870 Okay. 772 01:24:12.990 --> 01:24:15.030 Nick Antonicello: motion to revive me. 773 01:24:17.250 --> 01:24:19.110 jim robb: I will second to revise motion. 774 01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:25.560 jim robb: Now we can vote on it, or do we have to. 775 01:24:26.010 --> 01:24:26.310 Okay. 776 01:24:27.570 --> 01:24:30.960 jim robb: All right, public comment anybody have public comment. 777 01:24:31.380 --> 01:24:31.800 kitty. 778 01:24:33.840 --> 01:24:35.040 jim robb: Other revisions Helen. 779 01:24:37.050 --> 01:24:53.130 Helen Fallon: It yeah i'm loud that you're asking for immediate i'm not even sure why the city should be tearing things up and just putting patch jobs, instead of actually completing the job I mean that's bothersome to me that they sort of. 780 01:24:54.420 --> 01:25:09.540 Helen Fallon: Do it partway and then just disappear and we're stuck with that, so I don't know if there's a way to put in the motion that if they're going to be doing this kind of work, it needs to be completed fully completed before they move on and tear up more things. 781 01:25:12.510 --> 01:25:12.840 jim robb: To me. 782 01:25:15.750 --> 01:25:17.160 jim robb: Judy OK. 783 01:25:17.610 --> 01:25:29.070 Judy Goldman: So again, and Helen you're right, the problem is they didn't complete the work they put a temporary solution that was dangerous and isn't a da compliant. 784 01:25:29.580 --> 01:25:35.280 Judy Goldman: This is a historic walk street they should be putting cement down and, as I told you all. 785 01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:44.370 Judy Goldman: I have an email from CD 11 saying that they're going to expedite that and I don't think we should ask for another temporary solution, I think we should. 786 01:25:44.820 --> 01:25:56.730 Judy Goldman: make a clear that we expect them to replace the cement that they tore out with cement, because the asphalt is not only not a da compliant it's unsafe people are tripping on it. 787 01:25:57.810 --> 01:26:18.120 jim robb: Okay, so thank you very much, I know vicki has her hand up, and I know bike

01:27:18.780 --> 01:27:19.140 Brian Averill: No. 804 01:27:19.440 --> 01:27:25.110 james murez: No Okay, well, we have to be careful, because there are more than five board members that you're meeting. 805 01:27:25.650 --> 01:27:38.610 james murez: Okay, means that the board members should not be speaking to the content of the items that are being discussed, because that would be a violation of the brown act. 806 01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:40.080 jim robb: They can listen to. 807 01:27:40.230 --> 01:27:43.320 jim robb: It so far nobody else has spoken so. 808 01:27:43.980 -->

01:28:01.650 --> 01:28:16.530 Nick Antonicello: What needs to be done is the people who are not committee members who have spoken on the public comment, need to be demoted back to the audience, we have a bunch of people here that are panelists it should not be panel. 814 01:28:17.160 --> 01:28:23.970 james murez: Okay, well, I can work on that too, but i'm not sure who all of your committee

And I don't see that Jim rob has come back yet. 824 01:29:00.570 --> 01:29:08.850 Brian Averill: hey Jim can you unmute vicki vicki has some some specific insight into this issue it hasn't been allowed to speak a. 825 01:29:09.660 --> 01:29:12.900 james murez: bit louder talk good vicki's love to talk. 826 01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:15.180 Brian Averill: They go back. 827 01:29:15.450 --> 01:29:25.770 vicki halliday: Okay, I can explain some of this poll imma stop this is all mainline sewer reworking the pipes were collapsing. 828 01:29:26.310 --> 01:29:36.750 vicki halliday: I live on the block diploma between South main and Pacific they did us first, but they did it between the houses, we are one of the few streets. 829 01:29:37.440 --> 01:29:55.830 vicki halliday: On with no no quarter Alec so they had to come in behind our houses and do a lot of digging up then when it got to Pacific they had to jump on diploma most of those numbers have to do with where the sewer lines come in from the houses. 830 01:29:57.210 --> 01:30:06.810 vicki halliday: There were one, there were some there that had completely collapsed and we're affecting a couple of buildings right by where you see, most of the work that's been done. 831 01:30:07.410 --> 01:30:14.790 vicki halliday: That was done, we were told by dwp that the department, who replaces the concrete. 832 01:30:15.420 --> 01:30:23.310 vicki halliday: is a completely different division, they don't always coordinate well They explained at the time when they finished the work. 833 01:30:23.790 --> 01:30:45.960 vicki halliday: That it would probably be two to three months before that part of dwp came in to do the work today all the front loaders the big equipment move back to the corner of sunset and South main where it's usually parked for this there's one part on paloma just west of. 834 01:30:47.220 --> 01:30:58.170 vicki halliday: Pacific and I believe that these are the people coming back to do the concrete work so put the motion through, but I believe that this work may be happening now. 835 01:30:59.790 --> 01:31:00.150 Noel Johnston: Good. 836 01:31:00.390 --> 01:31:01.170 explanation. 837

mid city West neighborhood Council and so it's um we I. 846 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:58.080 Nasim Kablan: My husband I just got a house in Venice actually on paloma and so that's why where it's sort of fun to be on this as a panelist and to see how another neighborhood of handling the business so. 847 01:31:59.280 --> 01:32:07.770 Nasim Kablan: melrose and Venice, have a lot of similar similar issues but that aside, I was when I was just on paloma The other day I saw there was a sign that said. 848 01:32:08.850 --> 01:32:15.270 Nasim Kablan: that the work was supposed to go until October 8 so I was wondering if there was any under if that was. 849 01:32:16.230 --> 01:32:32.520 Nasim Kablan: A legitimate timeline if we're jumping the gun in regards to this or I mean I don't discourage trying to get on top of that, I definitely appreciate it, because the asphalt is definitely hazardous as I walked through it with my young children, it was not a pleasant experience so. 850 01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:37.140 Nasim Kablan: I just didn't know if that October 8 had any meaning just wanted to ask. 851 01:32:42.330 --> 01:32:55.350 Brian Averill: Not missing, none of us know for for certain again we're an Advisory Council, all we can do is basically give the city of poke and say hey this needs some attention so this motion is an attempt to do so. 852 01:32:57.000 -->

increased access would be incredibly helpful to Mr Martinez, the dnc she'll send letters to Michael show and our around Sonia here. 917 01:37:11.190 --> 01:37:20.430 Brian Averill: At the Department of recreation and parks and councilmember bonds office requesting official right of entry permission and access to water power and storage for Mr Martinez. 918 01:37:22.530 --> 01:37:23.520 Nick

01:37:33.510 jim robb: Second okay we're opening it up for public comment attendees any public comment. 922 01:37:38.460 --> 01:37:42.390 jim robb: We have Helen fallon please you are allowed to talk. 923 01:37:43.770 --> 01:37:53.250 Helen Fallon: um I have no idea this gentleman as a private citizen and so we're asking he worked for city or I don't. 924 01:37:58.410 --> 01:37:59.430 jim robb: know when i'll go ahead and. 925 01:37:59.700 --> 01:38:00.780 jim robb: Everybody i'll give you a quick. 926 01:38:00.780 --> 01:38:01.260 update. 927 01:38:02.670 --> 01:38:06.540 Noel Johnston: Jesse has been instrumental in the skatepark from its inception. 928 01:38:07.980 --> 01:38:21.840 Noel Johnston: In and in my book he's an extraordinary citizen who has devoted his personal time to taking care of the skatepark for a very long time, he cleans it now. 929 01:38:22.230 --> 01:38:38.910 Noel Johnston: and has been instrumental in and keeping it in in the best condition that a private citizen could possibly keep it in I think he is his spent some of his soul on this project, and despite the fact that he's a private citizen and this open some. 930 01:38:40.140 --> 01:38:46.140 Noel Johnston: doors that we might not want to open because there are other people that would like to have similar access to. 931 01:38:47.340 --> 01:38:49.890 Noel Johnston: Other recreation and parks. 932 01:38:51.060 --> 01:38:52.710 Noel Johnston: facilities and. 933 01:38:54.390 --> 01:38:55.380 Noel Johnston: Other other. 934 01:38:56.730 --> 01:39:06.240 Noel Johnston: items that belong to the to the to recreation and parks, I think Jesse Jesse is so extraordinary that this should be seriously considered. 935 01:39:07.950 --> 01:39:08.580 jim robb: Brian. 936 01:39:10.650 --> 01:39:25.200 Brian Averill: I agree with everything else that I mean this this guy comes he's in point doing now, he drives in 4am every morning down to the park to clean it he's been doing it since 2009 I think we open the park. 937 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:30.450 Brian Averill: And as Noel said he's given a piece of his soul to this Community. 938 01:39:32.190 --> 01:39:41.730 Brian Averill: I talked about this with Dan from juice magazine a bunch of times and he said, this would be super helpful for him, he just wants a little there's a little storage box there, and he just wants. 939 01:39:42.810 --> 01:39:54.990 Brian Averill: To be allowed access to the water and power so he can clean the park for free, so I know there might be some some legal issues here, but this is a very extraordinary circumstance. 940 01:39:55.770 --> 01:40:01.710 jim robb: yeah he takes care of the graffiti and all and I mean he's the one that keeps it looking the way there's Robin go ahead. 941 01:40:04.110 --> 01:40:16.350 Robin Rudisill: i'm just curious if you anybody has asked someone at the city for this before and was refused and, if so, did they say why or would this be the first time, requesting. 942 01:40:18.120 --> 01:40:32.820 Noel Johnston: No, no, I to the best of my knowledge, this husband brooch to the city before and I believe that it that it hasn't been turned down button, it was not brought to the city in this particular form, I think this is a much reduced. 943 01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:55.170 Noel Johnston: Request it's a it seems to me that it's a it's a minimal request and and, as I understand it, the request that was made in the past, which is quite in the far distant past was something quite a bit broader than this, it seems like a like a small request. 944 01:40:55.620 --> 01:41:03.000 Robin Rudisill: Does it involve keys, and if so, what would the keys access something else that each should have access. 945 01:41:04.680 --> 01:41:05.280 Robin Rudisill: access. 946 01:41:06.120 --> 01:41:12.360 Noel Johnston: Unfortunately I can't I can't talk to you about the key issue I I don't I don't. 947 01:41:13.740 --> 01:41:29.880 Noel Johnston: keys keys and posed a problem with recreation and parks, but there are there are other ways to get access to water, besides, a key a water key is you know not that hard to lay your hands on you can do it yourself, I have a bunch of water keys myself. 948 01:41:31.110 --> 01:41:32.610 Noel Johnston: to various properties. 949 01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:40.230 Noel Johnston: Not not going to recreation and parks, but to do other properties and I use them frequently and nobody complaints. 950 01:41:41.760 --> 01:42:00.120 Noel Johnston: I I just think this is such a minimal request it's asking for so very little, and he does so very much that I really, really think that this this ought to be taken in in context for for what it is, which is a tiny. 951 01:42:02.820 --> 01:42:16.800 Noel Johnston: I couldn't get a kind of a kind of a nod to the to the work that this guy does, and that if we can't do it if we can't do it one way, maybe we can do it another there ought to be a way to work this out. 952 01:42:17.730 --> 01:42:20.640 jim robb: Okay, Robin you good. 953 01:42:21.150 --> 01:42:24.630 Robin Rudisill: That was just thinking he could become an official volunteer. 954 01:42:26.130 --> 01:42:27.540 Robin Rudisill: city or something like that. 955 01:42:27.660 --> 01:42:32.010 jim robb: All right, well let's let Sonia go ahead baby she had a. 956 01:42:34.380 --> 01:42:35.310 Brian Averill: Yes, on your go for it. 957 01:42:35.940 --> 01:42:43.380 Sonya Young Jimenez: yeah I was thinking, the same I know this this just came up to me today when I talked to Brian earlier, I know i've heard of this individual doing this before. 958 01:42:43.920 --> 01:42:50.070 Sonya Young Jimenez: I am looking to hire part time maintenance stuff so I don't know if he's up to like going through the process to get hired if he's already doing the work. 959 01:42:50.790 --> 01:43:03.990 Sonya Young Jimenez: or like Robin said becoming an official volunteer would make it a lot easier with you know with the city there's a lot of Union issues which is probably why God tonight in the past, because he's doing a lot of work that our Union paid maintenance staff should be doing so. 960 01:43:05.070 --> 01:43:11.910 Sonya Young Jimenez: I just think you know if he's up to like trying that application process and going through and seeing if you can get hired as a part time employee or. 961 01:43:12.240 --> 01:43:17.430 Sonya Young Jimenez: going through our volunteer process will probably be a lot easier, I also wanted to put a new shit out there, I heard the other shed. 962 01:43:17.940 --> 01:43:24.000 Sonya Young Jimenez: I think he took when he was upset I don't know i've heard different stories I don't know I wasn't here, then, but there was a shout out there that had equipment in it. 963 01:43:24.300 --> 01:43:31.950 Sonya Young Jimenez: it's no longer there, so I was thinking of putting a new shed out there, near the skate Park area that has that equipment in there, so they can have skipper. 964 01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:33.780 jim robb: Thank you so yeah. 965 01:43:34.830 --> 01:43:35.490 jim robb: Okay. 966 01:43:37.950 --> 01:43:38.610 Nick Antonicello: But we can add. 967 01:43:39.630 --> 01:43:43.650 Nick Antonicello: Mr Martinez with Sonia and they can work out these details. 968 01:43:44.130 --> 01:43:45.720 jim robb: Sure

Nick Antonicello: What is the relationship between. 990 01:44:57.450 --> 01:44:59.250 Nick Antonicello: reckon parks and the sheriff's office. 991 01:45:00.570 --> 01:45:17.280 Nick Antonicello: And

992 01:45:18.480 --> 01:45:19.560 Nick Antonicello: And i'm just curious. 993 01:45:22.140 --> 01:45:32.070 Nick Antonicello: Are we looking at villain a wave his participation is now officially over
