So yay.

180
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:24,000
So exciting. I love to see so many young folks in the room. It's amazing.

181
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Our presentation this evening is the presentation of certificates of recognition to the Burbank High School Baseball Program for their community service.

182
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:37,000
The Burbank High School Baseball team regularly participates in the community service with the focus on giving back.

183
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:44,000
The team partners with local organizations such as the VFW to organize fundraisers and benefits veterans.

184
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:53,000
And the team can often be spotted at the city's annual Veterans Day and Memorial Day services.

185
01:17:54,000 --> 01:18:01,000
The team is also volunteered at Courage Weekend, which is a competitive sports event for veterans, disabled veterans and first responders.

186
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:14,000
And of note for 2025, the team hosted an alumni baseball game to raise funds for the Central Altadina Little League, which lost equipment field and homes due to the tragic fires earlier this year.

187
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:24,000
The event included a home run derby and garnered significant support raising $2,438 in cash and gift cards along with the new uniform pants and other equipment.

188
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Big round of applause for that.

189
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:35,000
The Burbank High School Baseball Program emphasizes the importance of community involvement.

190
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:43,000
And these initiatives highlight their commitment to developing well-rounded student athletes who understand the importance of giving back to the community.

191
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:48,000
At this time, I would like to welcome Head Coach Bob Hart up to the podium.

192
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:57,000
So thank you for being here tonight. Would you like to share a few words?

193
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,000
Sure.

194
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Good evening.

195
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:12,000
On behalf of Burbank High Baseball, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the board, to the board for recognizing the dedication of our players, coaches and parents, both to our school and our community.

196
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,000
A fundamental aspect of our program is selflessness, both on the field and within the community.

197
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Our boosters play a crucial role in that endeavor.

198
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Last year, Bridges Snyder, our booster club president was instrumental in organizing and coordinating various events in the involvement from our players, coaches and parents was remarkable.

199
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:40,000
As Bridges transitions, the leadership to our new board president, Tammy Gibbs, we look back on our accomplishments with pride.

200
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:46,000
I have a couple of players up here. We'll give some words as well.

201
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:59,000
In January, January, we successfully raised $2,438 in caching gift cards, along with new uniform pants, baseball gloves and equipment for both the alternating a little league east and west.

202
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:09,000
We also created a special moment for young baseball players and families affected by the fires, allowing them to participate in our home run, derby, play games during innings and enjoy a day of fun.

203
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:15,000
While the fundraising efforts were commendable, the most significant takeaway for our program was a joy shared among families during that evening.

204
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:25,000
Coming together to momentarily escape the devastation of the eating fires and allowing our players to engage with them on the bulldog field, sharing moments in the dugout with the big boys was truly rewarding.

205
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:32,000
Reminds us of the many blessings we have and we feel honored to have played in a small part in the Altadina Little League's journey.

206
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:44,000
All right, hello. So in the fall, we host veterans tonight to honor those who have served our country.

207
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:52,000
This special evening features veterans on the field for the national anthem with the view of W. selecting a veteran to throw the first pitch and coordinate in the color ground presentation.

208
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:57,000
Additionally, none of these veterans will ever have to pay for a bulldog meal at the BHS baseball field.

209
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:14,000
We have also partnered with Angel City Sports for the youth weekend where athletes, coaches and families volunteer to introduce youth with disabilities to adapt to sports opportunities.

210
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:22,000
We also collaborated with Angel City Sports for their courage weekend providing veterans and first responders to explore adaptive sports.

211
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Twice a year, we organized a veterans pancake breakfast in partnership with the VFW.

212
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Our athletes actively sell sponsorships so that all veterans can enjoy a free meal on the day of our pancake breakfast.

213
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Finally, we collaborate with the guide dogs of America who join us at our events to raise awareness for the invaluable support of their service animals.

214
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:53,000
And connect veterans who might be interested in getting a service animal.

215
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Those young men are a great illustration of why I'm so proud of our program. They do a great job.

216
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:14,000
In closing, I want to personally thank our players, coaches and parents for their selfless efforts for the consistently exemplifying character commitment and dedication.

217
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Not only to our team, but to our community as well.

218
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:30,000
I also have a special recognition for Robert Snyder and Jeremy Lee. They were all league selections and those that information didn't come out until after they had graduated.

219
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:38,000

220
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:45,000

221
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:50,000

222
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,000

You're not at the hook yet. You're going to help me with certificates.

226
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:12,000
So at this time, the coach will be calling players one by one and they will each receive a certificate.

227
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:16,000
And we'll take a photo of each one I believe one at a time.

01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:57,000
My son took a summer workshop based ball workshop with the coach of the summer and it was fantastic.

277
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,000
All right.

278
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Let's get back to business here and I just wanted to make a quick correction earlier in my opening comments.

279
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,000
I mentioned that there were there was a public hearing.

280
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,000
There's no public hearing tonight. There's just three.

281
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,000
There's three council items. So if you'd like to do a public comment for general public, now's the time to bring in your cards before that starts. And then we'll have three individual opportunities as well for each council item.

282
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:26,000
All right. I guess what is next now is Mr. City Manager.

283
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:29,000
That's all right. Now, Mr. Hess, do you have anything to report?

316
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,000
Good to see you.

317
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Thanks for being here.

318
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,000
It's great to see all of you.

319
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Thanks so much for letting me come tonight to just give a little update of what I've been working on for the past six months since I've been in Congress.

320
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,000
I want to first thank all of you for your work coming from local government myself.

321
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:10,000
I know what a hard job this is but also how incredibly important it is for all of the people that you serve and you all do a great job representing your community and you're never shy to reach out to me.

322
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Whenever you need anything federally and I appreciate that partnership.

323
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:20,000
I also want to commend the staff you have a fine staff here in the city of Burbank who serves the public very well.

324
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,000
So I think I have a power point and there.

325
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,000
Okay.

326
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:37,000
So my focus when I came into Congress back in January was to continue the work that I have done in the legislature particularly around our affordability crisis when it comes to housing.

327
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,000
The cost of housing making sure that we have enough housing for everybody.

328
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Making sure that we have the quality of life that we all want here in Southern California on the environment etc.

329
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,000
But I will say that a lot of that changed for a few reasons.

330
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:58,000
The first is that my second day in office the terrible wildfires happened here in the Southland.

331
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,000
I immediately flew home.

332
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:07,000
Came home to a dark house with no power, not knowing where the fires were kind of going through that with my community in Glendale.

333
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:14,000
And trying to help us best I could with my brand new district as we had fires, you know, in Hollywood and all across the Southland.

334
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:24,000
So I have independently introduced six bills, two of them trying to help with fire resiliency and fire victims, including the bipartisan don't penalize victims act,

335
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:30,000
which changes the way that FEMA works when it comes to disaster victims who get charity.

336
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:38,000
So if you are losing your house in a fire, let's say God forbid, and your synagogue does a go-fund me page to raise money from you.

337
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,000
Currently FEMA can deduct that money from the amount that you're owed.

338
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Which I don't think is fair.

339
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:52,000
So we have bipartisan support in this bill hoping to move it forward to help our victims so that they could keep every dime of charity care that they get from their community.

340
01:36:52,000 --> 01:37:00,000
I also just introduced the Reducing Essential Health Care Act, which would restore the Medicaid funding to plan herandhood.

341
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:07,000
And plan herandhood gives really essential care across the country, particularly in communities that are healthcare deserts.

342
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:13,000
They provide cancer screenings, STD support, HIV prevention, and so much more family planning.

343
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:20,000
And since these cuts we've already seen five plant parenthood clinics in California clothes.

344
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:26,000
This bill has over 100 co-sponsors within a week of it being introduced.

345
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:32,000
And so we're going to continue to fight for a healthcare access across the country, particularly here in California.

346
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
So very excited about that. We now have 134 co-sponsors and counting on that bill.

347
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:43,000
I am helping to lead the no masks for ISAC to make sure that we have accountability.

348
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:50,000
And we have law enforcement done in a way that is protective of our community and also gains the trust of our community.

349
01:37:50,000 --> 01:38:00,000
And having mass, uh, ICE agents who are masked and without ID means that if someone feels that they're civil rights have been violated, they have nowhere to turn because they don't know the name of that officer.

350
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:09,000
And we've also seen people not even know if they're really from ICE or federal agents or just someone kidnapping someone on the streets or someone committing a crime.

351
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:15,000
So this would help a lot with that, um, and proud to be leading that effort here in Los Angeles.

352
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:24,000
I am also working on a national film tax credit to build on what California has done to try to bring the industry back to Los Angeles.

353
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:33,000
It's the industry that brought me to LA and my husband to LA in the first place. You all know very well being the home of many students being being, you know, the media capital of the world.

354
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:38,000
How important this industry is for our identity here in Los Angeles region.

355
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:53,000
So, um, working, um, trying to work across the aisle on this as well to try to keep a signature American industry right here at home in America and to make sure that films are produced in the United States.

356
01:38:53,000 --> 01:39:03,000
In terms of federal investments for Burbank, I have personally requested and made great progress in securing millions of dollars in federal investments for Burbank.

357
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:12,000
I work with you and your staff on this and I am pleased to report that four key projects have been implemented and included in the house appropriations bill.

358
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:21,000
Now there's still a ways to go because this bill first has to get off the floor of the house has to go to the Senate and then go back to the to the president for his signature.

359
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Hopefully that all happens and you and we bring that money home for Burbank.

360
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:35,000
And that includes over a million dollars for the replacement of the Burbank Water Empowerable Potable Water Reservoir to ensure that our community has access to clean and safe water.

361
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Three million dollars for the construction of the new Burbank Central Library in the downtown Civic Center. I'm very excited about that.

362
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:49,000
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the design and environmental review to support replacement of the all of Avenue Bridge.

363
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:59,000
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for to update and install a new customer information service signs and monitors for the Burbank and Glendale Metro Instations.

364
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:07,000
And as a transit writer myself it would be great to kind of grow up and have what a lot of other major cities have and that's monitors.

365
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:15,000
I tell you where the trains are and when they're coming and if there's a problem and if so where you can go to get where you're going.

366
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:26,000
And I'm also proud to announce that over sixteen million dollars of federal funding is going to be flowing to the Burbank Airport for the new passenger terminal project.

367
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:37,000
I've been continuing to work on advocating for this project going back before my assembly days back when I was a Burbank airport commissioner for the city of Glendale and I'll continue to fight for this airport in Congress.

368
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:46,000
It's certainly important for those of us smart enough to fly into Burbank not into other large airports that might be at least two hours away if you're in rush hour traffic.

369
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:52,000
Also very important in terms of emergency to have an airport that supplies can fly in and out of.

370
01:40:52,000 --> 01:41:04,000
I am also honored to have led the federal effort to restore almost twenty million dollars in HIV prevention services in LA County which have been frozen by the Trump administration.

371
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:18,000
When I found out about this about two months ago I was able to raise a very big fuss about this in the media and with my college I engage with LGBTQ organizations and stakeholders and round tables to talk about what was happening in the impact that had.

372
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:32,000
Which was that that the LA County cancelled all 35 of their HIV and the STD prevention grants which meant that you know we were out there defenseless against the rise of this terrible disease and now that money has been restored at least for this year.

373
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:40,000
When hopefully we don't have to keep fighting year to year hopefully we work on prevention to make sure that we keep that under control.

374
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:49,000
And in terms of the district one of the most important things to me is to make sure that we service just plain constituents here in Burbank and help people navigate.

375
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:57,000
With can be often of confusing and overwhelming federal system. So my office has been busy at work in the district right next door to you.

376
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Every day our casework team so far has solved almost 900 constituent cases returning more than three million dollars directly to taxpayers and cases ranging from social security issues to immigration.

377
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:20,000
I have attended and held more than 15 town halls rallies and round tables where I get to meet directly with constituents and stakeholders answer their questions and work on a path forward just this week alone.

378
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:33,000
I've been touring medical clinics that are impacted by the Trump cuts all across this district to talk about ways that we can prevent the worse from happening when it comes to food aid and homelessness prevention services.

379
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:43,000
We have answered I have answered my you know we have answered more than 9,000 90,000 constituent questions from people who call us directly or right to my office.

380
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:49,000
We make sure that every single one of them gets an answer back and I've joined over 100 community events all over this district.

381
01:42:49,000 --> 01:43:02,000
I have signed on to more than 550 letters that's more than two a day to various federal agencies and also in co-sponsoring various pieces of legislation and that's in six months so I am just getting started.

382
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Looking ahead it has been a very tumultuous past six months in Congress and in the world.

383
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:16,000
But I want to give you my guiding lights as we close out and move into the second half of the year.

384
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:24,000
I can be committed to protecting democracy and pushing back against the Trump administration's attack on our communities is paramount.

385
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:32,000
We are in charge with upholding our democratic values in Congress and making sure that we have separation of powers so that when Congress appropriates money.

386
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:36,000
It gets to those groups that have been promised they're funding.

387
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,000
And that we have transparency and everything that we do in government.

388
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:47,000
Our wildfire victims are still looking for help and answers and I have been prioritizing them and all disaster survivors in my legislative work.

389
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:59,000
The federal government needs to set up for the plate. We can't continue to have a system where the president with holds FEMA money from disaster victims saying that he doesn't think the California deserves to get relief money.

390
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:03,000
And he certainly can't help victims by dissolving FEMA.

391
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:16,000
You know, we the last FEMA head who was appointed by Trump himself said publicly when I asked him will dissolving FEMA help her victims and he said her victims and he was fired within a week after saying that publicly.

392
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:22,000
Defending health care access is critical. We had a struggle with health care health care access before this administration.

393
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:32,000
But cutting cutting trillion trillion dollars out of Medicaid and kicking 13 million Americans off of Medicaid is going to make things exponentially worse.

394
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:38,000
And outside of those individual people that are being that are going to have a challenge of still accessing Medicaid.

395
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:45,000
We are hearing from providers and just today are heard from project angel food that they have had almost they've had over a half a million dollars cut for this year's budget.

396
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:52,000
These are the people that provide medically necessary meals to cancer patients people on dialysis, etc.

397
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:59,000
And they don't know how they they might have to cut 600,000 they might have to cut thousands of people from getting those.

398
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,760
Those meals, because of the cuts of Medicaid, because Medicaid funds a lot of that program. And so there's

399
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:09,840
a lot of ancillary funding that's being cut that hasn't even hit the radar yet. I'm continuing

400
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:15,000
to defend healthcare access for our LGBTQ community, for everyone who's vulnerable, and leading

401
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:19,680
legislation to restore Medicaid funding to plan parenthood. And again, as a former film producer,

402
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:24,520
making sure that we have a healthy local economy and have the film industry present and back in

403
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:30,000
our region and the studio's full and those sound stages active is a top priority of mine. And

404
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:38,120
I'm continuing to work on that. So contact me. You can contact me through my office in Washington,

405
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:42,920
D.C. or Burbank. That information is on the screen, including my website, which is a great

406
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:48,600
way for members of the community to share their thoughts, or to request help from my office. I want

407
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:54,120
to thank you again for having me, and I don't know how to turn this off. So maybe somebody else can

408
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:58,520
do that for me. But I want to thank you again for having me. I want to thank you again for all of

409
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:02,440
your work and your partnership. And with that, I'm happy to answer any questions that you have.

410
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,920
Great. Thank you so much for taking time out of your break to come update us over here.

411
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:12,280
Well, it's not a break. It is a recessed work period, as my schedule could tell you.

412
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:17,320
So I'm, you know, really excited to be out doing that work in this capacity.

413
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:21,880
Council any quick comments or questions for the comments? Yes.

414
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:26,680
That's what it's like. Just thank you, Madam Vice Mayor. Just a couple of comments. And thank you

415
01:46:26,680 --> 01:46:33,320
for all your hard work, Congressman. I just want to tell you, insurance at affordable rates,

416
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:41,720
and coverage is is even tougher to get, and it's a barrier to housing. Yes. Once people get that

417
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:48,280
insurance bill, as grows are being canceled. And other areas now in this region, I've been deemed

418
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:52,920
high fires on areas. It's putting a lot of pressure on families and seniors so I just want to

419
01:46:52,920 --> 01:47:01,720
bring that to your attention. The pipeline to housing itself building is at all time low. I'm just

420
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:06,520
not seeing anything. Any transactions are happening other than the stuff that's already in the pipeline,

421
01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:11,800
but new stuff being built. So anything we can do to incentivize development through text credits or

422
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:19,720
capital gains reductions or or something to kickstart the housing in this area. So just want to

423
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:23,880
be out to your attention. Thank you. Thank you. Council member for bringing that up. And I really appreciate

424
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:29,000
you championing these issues. I am about to introduce the housing package. It's going to be additive

425
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:34,520
and something that to help give cities tools to help with things like infrastructure upgrades,

426
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:40,200
you know, that kind of barrier. And in terms of insurance, absolutely. As someone who is on fair plan,

427
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:48,680
myself, I understand the gaps that that gives and the the nervousness of living in brushes I do,

428
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:55,400
and the difficulties of maintaining insurance. And it's not just us in California, Florida,

429
01:47:55,400 --> 01:48:00,600
is having a crisis as well. It's happening around the country as whether it gets more unpredictable

430
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:05,400
and more extreme and disasters become more frequent. And so the state has to deal with it, but also

431
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:09,480
the federal government has a role to play. So I appreciate you're putting a flag on that and look

432
01:48:09,480 --> 01:48:15,800
forward to working with you on that. Thank you. Yes, Council member Anthony. It's funny. I spoke with

433
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:20,360
somebody who's about to announce that they're running for California insurance commissioner and their entire

434
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:25,000
platform is exactly what you were talking about. I want to point out two things and then I want to ask a

435
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:34,600
question unrelated. In 2022, this body unanimously endorsed ending military aid to Azerbaijan. In 2024,

436
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:40,920
this body unanimously endorsed an end to the war in Gaza. Moving forward, please consider both of

437
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:47,240
those unanimous statements from this body whenever you see military funding. Separate from that.

438
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:55,560
Congressman Kylie Republican in Central California, he's trying to move forward with a bill that would

439
01:48:55,560 --> 01:49:03,240
outlaw Jerry Mandarin across the country. What are you seeing on how viable that bill is? Is it

440
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:08,520
getting broad support? This is a big issue that California's dealing with Texas's dealing with.

441
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:12,840
What is your take on that? Thank you. So I haven't read his bill yet and I look forward to doing that.

442
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:17,720
And of course, we'll consider supporting anything that I think for those democracy and protecting voters.

443
01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:22,360
My understanding is the bill doesn't touch Jerry Mandarin. It only is about redistricting mid-cycle

444
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:27,720
redistricting. Oh, I see. Okay. Not Jerry Mandarin. In fact, a few years ago, there was a bill

445
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:32,360
on the floor of Congress that would have outlaw Jerry Mandarin nationwide and instituted what California

446
01:49:32,440 --> 01:49:37,000
similar to what California has independent redistricting commissions based on the voting rights act.

447
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,400
Every Democrat voter for that and every Republican voter against it. So I'd be very surprised if he

448
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:47,720
would introduce an anti-Jerry Mandarin bill. However, the redistricting that's happening now,

449
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:52,920
midstream and Texas and now Florida is announcing looking at the same thing. I think it's that's awful.

450
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:57,880
And so I will certainly take a close look at his legislation. Okay. Thank you. Appreciate it.

451
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:04,440
Yes, it counts very well. Thank you very much for being here and for always supporting

452
01:50:04,440 --> 01:50:11,160
Burbank and we really appreciated all the funding that you find for us. So this is great. Keep it going and we

453
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:18,760
like to have more. Very important topic that we have been talking about lately, which is the media industry

454
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:27,240
and losing a lot of jobs. And we definitely have seen the impact here in Burbank where individuals

455
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:32,200
lost their jobs. They moved out of California. They're relocating somewhere else where we can get

456
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:40,600
jobs. I just want to know if there is any hope, I know the funding has been put on the table and offered

457
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:47,560
to the media industry. But it seemed like it's not enough. We're still losing more and more every day.

458
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:56,040
How soon are we looking at bremitting all this and making it happen sooner so we can start filming back

459
01:50:56,040 --> 01:51:02,520
again here locally? Thank you. It's an excellent question. So the state did just massively increase

460
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:10,360
their own film tax credit. So that hopefully will start to kickstart more production here in the

461
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:15,160
Southland. And I do believe that that will be a tremendous help because the first film tax credit made

462
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:20,840
a huge difference in bringing productions back home, particularly on the television side. I wrote a letter

463
01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:26,680
asking the studios to shoot Los Angeles as part of fire recovery. So many of the people who

464
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:31,080
lost their homes are either in the industry themselves or work in fields that are touched by them,

465
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:37,400
whether it's a dry cleaner or a caterer, we know that the industry touches a lot of other

466
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:42,840
touches the economy of the whole region. And if the fast in the furious is going to be shooting here in

467
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:49,720
Los Angeles and the studio did announce that they want to do that partially as fire recovery. So I do see

468
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:55,400
some things starting to change in terms of timing for the national film tax credit. We have a ways to go.

469
01:51:55,400 --> 01:52:00,440
We first have to get support for more members, which means educating them as to why this is important and

470
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:07,720
getting bipartisan support. So I couldn't give you a timeline on when that will pass. Right now I'm

471
01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:12,840
working on building the support internally in Congress, putting all of the stakeholders together so that

472
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:20,040
people understand that this industry is worth supporting. And the same way that tax credit support,

473
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,800
the pharmaceutical industry and many other industries are supported by tax credits,

474
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:31,960
the energy sector is supported by tax credits. This is a very American product that also gives us a chance

475
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:37,800
to tell our story the way that we want to the rest of the world. So there's there's reasons beyond

476
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:42,920
economy that I believe the industry is important for this country. And so now it's my job

477
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:49,000
along with my colleagues and Adam Schiff, who's working with me on this to convince enough legislators

478
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:57,160
to move this forward to the president's desk. Great. Thank you. I do have one more question. Is the

479
01:52:57,160 --> 01:53:04,520
no mask for ice act? So we have an item coincidentally on the agenda tonight. I'm just wondering if he can

480
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:11,240
give us an update to what the progress is, what's happening, what is the progress? Who's exactly

481
01:53:11,880 --> 01:53:18,840
working on this because as local government, you know, we are trying our best to protect our

482
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:25,960
community, but I just want to hear from you, like how far has it gotten. What are we looking at? Right.

483
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:32,200
So we are still asking for co-sponsorship in the house. There was a similar bill on the Senate. I

484
01:53:32,200 --> 01:53:38,600
believe Alex Padilla is leading that effort. So there's efforts in both chambers and, you know,

485
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:45,000
I am still have hope that this could be bipartisan. Because I think, you know, having people that are

486
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:51,240
not identified, you know, out there in the public, confusing the public without having a chance for

487
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:56,200
accountability to me should be bipartisan effort. I support law enforcement. We all support law

488
01:53:56,200 --> 01:54:00,200
enforcement. Law enforcement doesn't work if it doesn't have the trust of the public. If it's not

489
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:05,480
working hand-in-hand with the community. And we have heard from people fear from these agents.

490
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:11,240
I've been told by law enforcement that they get calls all the time of people saying,

491
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,480
I saw someone get thrown into the back of an unmarked van and I think I may have just seen a kid

492
01:54:15,480 --> 01:54:21,480
napping. And they have to go in and run that down and spend time for officers to chase that down.

493
01:54:21,480 --> 01:54:25,800
Sometimes they know often they find out that that's ice. And we could have avoided all of that if they

494
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:31,720
were clearly identified and the public would know what they were seeing. So I'm still hoping that this

495
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:38,280
can be a bipartisan effort. And we'll move it forward and make our case. And I think the American

496
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:43,880
public is making their case because these current efforts and what ice is doing is deeply unpopular.

497
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:48,280
It's deeply unpopular here in Los Angeles. It's deeply unpopular in every community where we

498
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:53,320
have seen this happen, which by the way are almost all have been democratically led communities.

499
01:54:53,960 --> 01:55:01,720
But it's not a popular thing. I would hope that Congress would follow and ice would follow.

500
01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:06,360
The will of the community that they are supposed to be protecting and conducting themselves in a way that

501
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:13,320
gains trust and doesn't terrorize people. Thank you. Thank you for feeling our questions.

502
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:19,240
I have a quick follow-up question from that. If you don't mind, one of the challenges is that once somebody

503
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:23,640
does go into the system is keeping track of where they are. Right. So we have a two part question

504
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:29,240
there. Is there anything in the pipeline to help make that better to find people easily easier in

505
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:34,120
the system? And secondly, if there are local folks who are having trouble finding their loved ones,

506
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:39,160
can they contact you to help find those folks? If their loved ones are constituents in this district,

507
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:44,440
absolutely we will do your best. If not, we will connect them with whatever office represents them.

508
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:51,240
And I will confess that it's hard for us as well. We as Congress do not, we don't get to

509
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:56,520
call, you know, control ISIS policies necessarily. And they have been very non-responsive with us.

510
01:55:56,520 --> 01:56:00,760
When we have asked about people, sometimes it's even American citizens or people who are here legally,

511
01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:06,440
it's very difficult for us to get answers and to get them in a timely fashion. And people are being moved

512
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:11,240
around, like you said, they cannot have access to their lawyers. They're being held in really inhumane

513
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:15,480
overcrowded conditions, including children. Children being held in facilities that are not meant to

514
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:21,560
hold people without proper food, without blankets, without pillows. So we're treating people terribly,

515
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:29,320
who are just trying to follow the American dream, the vast majority of them. And it's being done again

516
01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:33,960
without accountability. Just yesterday's, my colleagues went to an Israeli facility and found it empty.

517
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:38,280
They had clearly, they had moved everybody out because they didn't want members of Congress interviewing them.

518
01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:44,200
So this is what we're facing. And again, this isn't how a democracy operates and it's certainly

519
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:50,120
not how the United States should be operating. Well, thank you for that update and fortunate news,

520
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:53,960
but you know, thank you for fighting the good fight. And then more locally, I just wanted to bring

521
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:59,400
it back to Burbank, even though that is affecting us. The funding, again, that Council Member Mullins mentioned,

522
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:04,600
thank you so much for earmarking these specific projects that you earmarked for funding for federal level.

523
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:10,040
You know, it may not seem to folks outside of our community that these are important, but these are

524
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:15,800
very, very important projects for us in this community. So, so much, thank you for that. And thank you for

525
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:23,080
what I notice is that you take things that maybe are indirect or maybe are overlooked and work on those issues,

526
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:29,800
and I really appreciate that in some of your policies. So because sometimes it's easy to not see the little things

527
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:34,920
and you see them. So appreciate that. Any other questions are going to wrap up? Well, thank you for coming

528
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:40,360
out, giving us an update, fielding our questions and comments and looking forward to continue.

529
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:43,720
We'll continue working with you. Well, thanks again for your work and your partnership.

530
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:59,640
Appreciate it. Sure, why not? All right, we are now to the City Attorney. Mr. City Attorney, will you please report

531
01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:04,120
on closed session? Yes, Madam Vice Mayor. Members of the City Council and for the benefit of the

532
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:11,560
public, the City Council met this evening at 5 p.m. in closed session to discuss two items of existing

533
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:19,000
litigation, pursuant to government code section 54.956.9 D1. The first item was

534
01:58:19,880 --> 01:58:26,520
Littis Sherry Whitehead versus City of Burbank, personal injury case, and the second item was

535
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:32,760
Luring Paiale versus City of Burbank, a civil rights case. The City Council took no reportable action this

536
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:39,240
evening. Great, thank you for that report. All right, the moment you've all been waiting for,

537
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:43,880
is the time for general public comment. I will be calling out the speaker's name as well as the person

538
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:48,680
who is next in line to speak. In order to keep public comment moving in a timely fashion, we have

539
01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:54,840
designated seat in the front row for speakers here up next to the podium with that little black cover is.

540
01:58:55,320 --> 01:59:00,280
A timer is available on the podium. This is also the last call for anyone who needs an interpreter

541
01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:04,600
or that staff member will be released. Did anybody contact you about an interpreter?

542
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:10,520
All right, well thank you for staying here this long and enjoy the rest of your evening years.

543
01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:16,680
You're free to go. Thank you. Persons may choose to use the first period of public comment to address

544
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:20,440
a gender's report, but will not be able to speak on that item fall in this segment.

545
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:28,360
When you speak, please state your name for the record. The general public comment is now beginning

546
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:33,640
and no additional cards or calls will be accepted. Madam City Clerk, how many public comment

547
01:59:33,640 --> 01:59:46,200
cards and calls do we have for public comment? 15 total. 15 total. So 15 total, good news. You get three minutes

548
01:59:46,280 --> 01:59:51,640
to do your public comment. So let's see. This is four.

549
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:59,720
Okay. First up, we will have Alex.

550
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,640
Avignasian, followed by Adrian Dileon.

551
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:10,640
Welcome Mr. Avignasian.

552
02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:12,700
Thank you, Good evening, Vice Mayor.

553
02:00:12,700 --> 02:00:14,200
Members of the City Council.

554
02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:18,800
My name is Alex Avignasian, and I'm with the Office of California State Assembly Member Nick Schultz.

555
02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:20,540
We have Assembly Member Schultz.

556
02:00:20,540 --> 02:00:26,640
I have a video to share regarding State Senate Bill 805 by Senator Perez.

557
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:43,120
Specifically, thank Mr. Feldman and the police chiefs for being on that Zoom.

558
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:45,320
Colleagues, I am recommending an eye senator.

559
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:47,160
I want to thank you and your team, your sponsors.

560
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:50,920
I also want to specifically thank Mr. Feldman and the police chiefs for being on that Zoom

561
02:00:50,920 --> 02:00:53,440
late last night trying to craft the deal.

562
02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:55,760
I think this is good public policy.

563
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,960
It's great to strike the right balance and see law enforcement and the community coming together.

564
02:00:59,960 --> 02:01:04,600
Not that it's exactly applicable, but from my legal training, I think about the confrontation

565
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:08,560
clause and the basic premise in our justice system that if someone is going to apprehend

566
02:01:08,560 --> 02:01:12,600
you, take you from your home, take you from your place of work, the very least that you

567
02:01:12,600 --> 02:01:16,640
are entitled to is to know who the hell they are and what you're accused of doing wrong.

568
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:20,800
And when they don't have identification, when they're masked up, that is my concern is that

569
02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:23,240
that basic premise of our justice system fails.

570
02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:29,480
So Senator Greenville would love a jump on as a co-author, applaud all the collaboration on this,

571
02:01:29,480 --> 02:01:30,480
let's get it done.

572
02:01:30,480 --> 02:01:36,480
I rarely say this, but I think there's only one way to vote on this one, let's call it all.

573
02:01:36,480 --> 02:01:40,480
And in addition to the video, I have a letter on behalf of Assemblymember Schultz on this bill

574
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:43,960
that reads Dear Honorable Mayor Perez and Members of the City Council.

575
02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:48,960
I urge you to support SB 805, the Novigilantees Act by Senator Perez.

576
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:53,160
This bill mandates personnel of any local, state, or federal law enforcement agency, except

577
02:01:53,160 --> 02:01:58,080
for undercover personnel to visibly display identification that includes either a name or badge

578
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:00,920
number to the public when performing their duties.

579
02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:06,680
A violation of this requirement is punishable by imprisonment for up to six months of fine of $1,000

580
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:07,920
or both.

581
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:13,280
This bill prohibits individuals authorized to apprehend a bail fugitive from using their position

582
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:15,080
for immigration enforcement.

583
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:19,320
In light of the Trump administration's aggressive immigration raising Los Angeles, it's imperative

584
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:23,720
that we draw a distinction between local law enforcement and their duty to keep our community safe

585
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:25,960
and federal immigration enforcement.

586
02:02:25,960 --> 02:02:30,120
I'm proud to call off that this bill that helps bring transparency to our communities.

587
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:35,800
SB 805 passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee on July 15th, and will be heard next in the Assembly

588
02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:37,640
Appropriations Committee.

589
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:43,360
Given the recent escalation of Issactivity in Burbank and across Los Angeles, I urge the City Council

590
02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:48,840
to support SB 805 to bring increased transparency and public safety to our community members.

591
02:02:48,840 --> 02:02:52,640
Thank you for your consideration and thank you for your time this evening.

592
02:02:52,640 --> 02:02:54,440
Thank you for your comment.

593
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:58,520
Next up, we have Adrian Delion, followed by Ron Bax.

594
02:02:58,520 --> 02:03:00,520
Well, I'm the short.

595
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:01,520
Good evening.

596
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:05,000
Vice-mirror talk of how she counts members, say staff and everyone in the chambers and everyone

597
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:06,000
watching online.

598
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:07,800
So, I typically, I'm oyster.

599
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:11,840
I typically reserve my rights to comment unless I have some education or experience or

600
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:15,400
expertise on the topics that are introduced or on the agenda.

601
02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:18,760
In that case, I'd like to talk about, I have number seven, the San Francisco Plan.

602
02:03:18,760 --> 02:03:23,600
So, I was there during the transportation cushion meeting, and I know I'm always here by

603
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:24,600
doing a full-time job.

604
02:03:24,600 --> 02:03:29,220
I work on an ambulance, I'm an EMT, so I live in Burbank, I'm a whole life, I've went to

605
02:03:29,220 --> 02:03:34,440
Brett Hart, I bike to Luther and Burroughs, but these days, when I'm driving the ambulance

606
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:38,100
on the cities that I work on, they're unincorporated, so they don't really have the best

607
02:03:38,100 --> 02:03:39,100
of streets.

608
02:03:39,100 --> 02:03:44,040
I'm sure with the index of our public works department, it's quite, quite the comparison.

609
02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:48,600
So, that being said, I don't only have any topics planning to regarding city planning or

610
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:53,880
publics in general, but in terms of, like, more of a PSA or safety announcement, what I've

611
02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:59,240
noticed is even on the highways on a traffic officer or a CHP problem, but people are turning,

612
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:02,760
they're kind of going into other lanes, they're not signaling, they're kind of relying on

613
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:07,680
their blind spot detection mirrors or signals of how that works, and people are kind of just

614
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:08,680
swerving.

615
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:11,680
They're going really fast, they're not really knowing where they're going in the first place.

616
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:15,640
So, whenever I'm doing a medical assessment, people are so flustered that I didn't see them.

617
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:19,040
I don't know where they're coming from, I don't know where they're going, and oftentimes

618
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:23,720
it's just the matter of not really regarding other people as people.

619
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:26,200
It's kind of obstacles in a way to get somewhere.

620
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:30,160
And in the grid a lot of times this area, it's kind of hard to remember that the bigger people

621
02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:35,080
on the streets on the highways and everything, so in that regard, trying to see other people

622
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:41,080
as people, just remembering that everyone is living around you, it's not just busy day-to-day

623
02:04:41,080 --> 02:04:44,240
life, it's people living a life, living a story.

624
02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:48,720
So, especially in regards to school with coming back up, especially with the streets being

625
02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:50,600
as they are now, I just want to present upon that.

626
02:04:50,600 --> 02:04:55,480
So, look out for each other, both literally physically and also just as people.

627
02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:59,720
So, as always, I'm going to be in the back, you know, just listening, learning, laughing alongside

628
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:02,560
you, so without it, I hope you all look great night.

629
02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:05,200
Thank you for your comment.

630
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:15,520
Up next is Ron Bax, followed by Tom Stinger.

631
02:05:15,520 --> 02:05:16,920
Welcome, Mr. Bax.

632
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:20,720
Good evening, Council.

633
02:05:20,720 --> 02:05:25,080
I had planned to continue and complete my presentation of the Maui Apartments episode.

634
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:30,000
However, other matters have a reason that are more current and pressing, so it has been pre-empted

635
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:32,680
along with Episode 5.

636
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:38,640
To Council Member Rosati Statement at the July of 2015, 2025 City Council meeting regarding

637
02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:44,400
rent control, there is always a point, I think, when Council starts to realize that the information

638
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:47,560
they are getting is not reliable, unquote.

639
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:52,480
I hope you are not referring to the information I and other House providers have been providing.

640
02:05:52,480 --> 02:05:57,560
If anyone believes I have given erroneous, misleading, untrue, deceitful, disingenuous, or purposely

641
02:05:57,560 --> 02:06:03,520
inaccurate information during the last two and a half years see me, we will review the underlying

642
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:04,520
data.

643
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:11,200
We housing providers do not give anecdotal, gossip, second-hand, conjecture, guesswork, or hearsay-based

644
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:13,120
presentations.

645
02:06:13,120 --> 02:06:18,280
We nearly always, I say nearly because I am not going to review two and a half years of city council

646
02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:26,240
records, recordings, to validate a 99% or greater claim, give accurate factual data and logical

647
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:27,240
conclusions.

648
02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:32,840
I received my trash service bill a week ago, I noticed that it grew in Christ.

649
02:06:32,840 --> 02:06:37,880
I thought to myself, it just increased, so I investigated.

650
02:06:37,880 --> 02:06:45,240
The charge increased 5% in February, two months later, April, it increased 5%, three months later

651
02:06:45,240 --> 02:06:52,240
July, it increased 6% and one month later, this month, it increased another 6%.

652
02:06:52,240 --> 02:06:58,160
Mass shows the compounded increase to be 24% in a 6-month period.

653
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:02,840
This is not a major expense, but when combined with other significant expenses of electricity,

654
02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:07,600
water, sewage, and professional services that are increasing a comparable rate, maybe not

655
02:07:07,600 --> 02:07:11,720
in the same timeframes.

656
02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:16,960
Result an aggregate comparable to the major expense of hazard and liability insurance, which

657
02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:24,200
as an aggregate is self, has increased more than 200% tripled over the last two years.

658
02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:31,440
The statement on July 29, 2025, City Council meeting, quote, if you are truly a good landlord

659
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:37,200
and who doesn't raise rents much and takes care of his tenants, our proposed protection

660
02:07:37,200 --> 02:07:43,800
won't affect you, unquote, is only true if expenses do not increase much and you are never

661
02:07:43,800 --> 02:07:47,560
able to have a bad tenant, which is not realistic.

662
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:52,920
I have certain that if an economist or bank loan officer was asked, quote, can a business that

663
02:07:52,920 --> 02:08:02,040
is regulated so extensively, who is regulated so that expenses exceed income remains financially

664
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:07,680
solvent, would answer no and follow up with questioning your mental health.

665
02:08:07,680 --> 02:08:10,680
Thank you.

666
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:12,560
Thank you for your comment.

667
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:16,560
Next up is Tom Stinger, followed by Mark Scrox.

668
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:22,000
Tom Stinger, going once, going twice, okay.

669
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:28,520
Next up is Mark Scrox, followed by Mark Daryan.

670
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:33,560
Good evening, everyone.

671
02:08:33,560 --> 02:08:34,560
Mark Scrox.

672
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:39,800
First, I want to thank everyone who is involved with the planning and running and putting together

673
02:08:39,800 --> 02:08:44,400
the Burbank Media Fair a couple weeks ago, including, you know, Council Member Anthony,

674
02:08:44,400 --> 02:08:46,920
whose idea was originally a great job.

675
02:08:46,920 --> 02:08:54,600
It was a great crowd, a great variety of boost, and really nice campus, I have really been there.

676
02:08:54,600 --> 02:09:00,120
The talent reps who were with me at my booth were really impressed by how much was going on.

677
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:04,880
My friends and clients were there, one of my younger clients, who just graduated.

678
02:09:04,880 --> 02:09:09,520
He says, I learned more today than I learned in the last two years of college.

679
02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:13,280
This is just how the business works, which is nice.

680
02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:14,480
It was a lot of good information.

681
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:17,160
I think a lot of people came up, you know, it went well.

682
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:22,480
But I also know, and I got, we felt it too, because there weren't a lot of jobs there, and

683
02:09:22,480 --> 02:09:26,240
there were a lot of people looking for jobs, that there was a lot of frustrated people.

684
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:29,960
We had a lot of people trying to give us resumes, you know, besides actors looking for jeopardy

685
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:35,680
representation was a little holder, you know, can of worms, I'm still getting that from people.

686
02:09:35,680 --> 02:09:41,680
But, you know, I understand the frustration, but this is a positive step.

687
02:09:41,680 --> 02:09:44,520
The city did something that no one else has been doing.

688
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:48,920
I know Santa Monica started to do some different things also, but it's great that we're doing this.

689
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:53,200
It's like with the task force, we're making positive steps, because this is a long haul.

690
02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:56,400
We're not going to get studio films back for a long time, if ever.

691
02:09:56,400 --> 02:10:02,040
It's going to be more independence and more creative projects on their own.

692
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:06,800
But yeah, so it was good.

693
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:12,440
I did want to say, too, I saw a list today of all the TV stuff shooting right now or in the next

694
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:13,440
month.

695
02:10:13,440 --> 02:10:18,440
And looking at it, only about 22 to 23 percent are shooting here.

696
02:10:18,440 --> 02:10:23,160
So much of it's in Canada, but that was telling Representative Freeman, there's something with

697
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:27,440
Canada with tariffs and people wanting to go here, so they're all going New Jersey for whatever

698
02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:29,920
recent right now, so that's something to think about.

699
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:35,440
So who knows what's going on to the economy, is screwed up for everybody.

700
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:39,880
And then I'm going to start sharing some other things that we can do to help bring things back,

701
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:44,240
besides just ask for more money, because the most of this is going to go for independent films.

702
02:10:44,240 --> 02:10:51,240
I know the Brad Pitt film is shooting here.

703
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:55,000
I think some of it's going to shoot here and burn me to at some point, so that'll be nice.

704
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:57,280
It's getting a lot of attention.

705
02:10:57,280 --> 02:11:02,880
And last, to the audience out there, I want to suggest checking out the Instagram account

706
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:04,680
of producer Patrick.

707
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:08,920
He's been doing a bunch of stuff about different things, like studio space, filming in other

708
02:11:08,920 --> 02:11:09,920
places.

709
02:11:09,920 --> 02:11:17,360
He did something today about going back 30 years to look at Robert Romeras, Quentin Tarantino,

710
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:22,160
in Kevin Smith, and how they made money on no project with no money to build careers.

711
02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:24,800
And that's what we got to really encourage here now, too.

712
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:25,800
And they did it.

713
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:29,960
It was a lot harder than with big films when we now have cameras that can do most of that work.

714
02:11:29,960 --> 02:11:32,960
So that's it for tonight.

715
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:33,960
Perfect timing.

716
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:35,400
Thank you for your comment.

717
02:11:35,400 --> 02:11:39,800
Next up is Mike Durian, and followed by Diana Pulver.

718
02:11:39,800 --> 02:11:41,080
Good evening, council members.

719
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:45,640
My name is Mike Durian, and I'm a housing provider in Burbank.

720
02:11:45,640 --> 02:11:52,640
John Maxwell, leadership expert in author of over 80 books, one said, leadership is influence, nothing

721
02:11:52,640 --> 02:11:55,920
more, nothing less.

722
02:11:55,920 --> 02:12:02,800
Influence demands courage, and courage means speaking when it's easier to stay silent.

723
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:10,120
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, our lives begin to end, the day we will become silent about

724
02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:18,760
things that matter, and he will not just say there comes a time when silence is between.

725
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:23,240
This is not an option when the future of Burbank is at stake.

726
02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:31,200
Whether you support or oppose red control and red registry, your responsibility as city council

727
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:38,480
members is to ensure Burbank stays unique, thriving, and far better than Los Angeles with

728
02:12:38,480 --> 02:12:43,400
its crime, homelessness, failing schools, and neglected neighborhoods.

729
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:49,600
This council has built a layer upon layer of protections for tenants, but it's time to

730
02:12:49,600 --> 02:12:57,120
also show appreciation and stop demonization of responsible housing providers.

731
02:12:57,120 --> 02:13:05,720
Who invest in and maintain very homes, tenants living, as a real estate broker of 36 years.

732
02:13:05,720 --> 02:13:13,760
I can tell you, some investors are already walking away from Burbank.

733
02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:20,520
If this continues, people like me, who are proudly invested here, will have to look elsewhere.

734
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:23,840
That will be lost for this city.

735
02:13:23,840 --> 02:13:32,080
The next time someone says, LA, my Burbank, stand up and make it clear why our standards must

736
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:34,120
be protected.

737
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:41,440
Not remaining compassionate to our tenants and fair in shaping housing policy.

738
02:13:41,440 --> 02:13:45,640
Any true resident of Burbank would not want Burbank to be LA.

739
02:13:45,640 --> 02:13:50,840
Leadership means standing up for everyone, you represent, not just a few.

740
02:13:50,840 --> 02:13:53,920
It means protecting what makes Burbank special.

741
02:13:53,920 --> 02:13:58,160
It means speaking up, because silence is not an option.

742
02:13:58,160 --> 02:13:59,560
We are watching.

743
02:13:59,560 --> 02:14:01,560
We expect leadership.

744
02:14:01,560 --> 02:14:03,560
Keep Burbank moving.

745
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:05,560
Thank you.

746
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:07,560
Thank you for your comment.

747
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:12,560
Next up is Diana Pulver, followed by Jason Lewis, welcome as Pulver, you have three minutes.

748
02:14:12,560 --> 02:14:14,560
I will need all three.

749
02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:15,560
Good evening.

750
02:14:15,560 --> 02:14:18,560
If I may are in council members, my name is Diana Pulver.

751
02:14:18,560 --> 02:14:21,560
This small mom and pop housing provider.

752
02:14:21,560 --> 02:14:26,560
I work hard to maintain and make improvements by reinvesting in my property.

753
02:14:26,560 --> 02:14:31,560
I absorb as much as I can, so as not to pass the costs on to the renters.

754
02:14:31,560 --> 02:14:36,560
Because I am mindful that we are all facing rising costs.

755
02:14:36,560 --> 02:14:42,560
Short-sided regulations like the rent registry will make this that much harder to do.

756
02:14:42,560 --> 02:14:45,560
Rising costs stifle reinvestment.

757
02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:51,560
Mom and pop providers face hurdles like this every day, and we face them without help.

758
02:14:51,560 --> 02:14:55,560
Mom and pop providers are the backbone of Burbank.

759
02:14:55,560 --> 02:14:59,560
Placing obstacles like the rent registry makes our job that much harder.

760
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:13,000
Please, don't delay my break. Thank you. Thank you for your comment. Next up is Jason Lewis, followed by David Donahue.

761
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:16,000
Welcome, Mr. Lewis. You have three minutes.

762
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:29,000
Thank you. Good evening. Madam Vice Mayor of Council members and staff. I was on vacation a couple of two days ago. I'm here tonight as a private citizen, but I have served as a transportation commissioner and thanks to your appointment for four and a half years.

763
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:35,000
At the time I have served in the passes Vice Chair and Chair. And I am not in favor of reducing the size of the boards and commissions.

764
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:43,000
When I was last year we had a house full of folks, new applicants, folks like me seeking reappointment, spouses, children, all manners of supporters here.

765
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:49,000
This is an engaged citizenry and if anything we should be seeking to increase the size as we're feasible.

766
02:15:49,000 --> 02:15:54,000
Members have vacations. They get sick and I know that we've all had to suspend meetings because of quorum issues.

767
02:15:54,000 --> 02:15:59,000
The meetings could be shorter if we had 12 meetings a year, not if we had fewer voices in the room.

768
02:15:59,000 --> 02:16:07,000
And the voices all bring a rich background of experience and we have generally reached consensus of emotions we've sent to Council.

769
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:16,000
Speaking of boards and commissions and consensus, the Transportation Commission has sent not one but two motions in favor of a dedicated BRT links on all of the first motion read.

770
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:26,000
The Commission passed a motion recommending the City Council support the Metro North Hollywood to pass it in a BRT project with the all of Avenue section implemented as a side running bus only lane.

771
02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:36,000
But with later conversion to mixed flow if traffic insers or other issues are identified and to ensure that street parking on all of Avenue be preserved.

772
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:41,000
This motion passed five to one to one. That was December 20, 2021.

773
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:46,000
The second motion passed on January 22nd, 2024 reads the Commission passed the following motion.

774
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:53,000
The Commission supports dedicated bus lines, yada, yada, yada, including the bus on all of bridge which we now have a $250,000 for the design.

775
02:16:53,000 --> 02:16:58,000
Thank you Congresswoman Friedman. I will read all the rest of it but the motion passed 601.

776
02:16:58,000 --> 02:17:04,000
So as Metro listened to a request, they offered us permitt authority and as an engineer, that's a big deal.

777
02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:07,000
I can talk to you later if you like about why that's a big deal next time.

778
02:17:07,000 --> 02:17:15,000
But if we don't if we just give Metro nothing, they can just walk away. They don't have to support us about the all of Avenue Bridge.

779
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:20,000
But together we can make a better and stronger case to take to CalTrans to stay on Bridge.

780
02:17:20,000 --> 02:17:23,000
And because it's not currently at the safety code, you just walk over it to find out.

781
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:29,000
And if we band together with Metro to get a shared wind, the new all bridge over the channel.

782
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:33,000
We can definitely be better than if we're going afterwards with the BRT.

783
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:37,000
It already has two other stations that don't implement a new bridge.

784
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:43,000
So in advance of the upcoming meetings, I would employ you to revisit this with fresh eyes and be open to continuing the dialogue with Metro.

785
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:46,000
Considering the future of Burbank will be multimodal as it was from the beginning.

786
02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:52,000
Trains covered wagons and specific electric light rail horses bicycles, all race histories of Burbank for cars.

787
02:17:52,000 --> 02:17:54,000
Thank you.

788
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:56,000
Thank you for your comment.

789
02:17:56,000 --> 02:18:00,000
Next up, we have David Donnie who followed by Harry Tamarion.

790
02:18:00,000 --> 02:18:02,000
Welcome to Sedona here for three minutes.

791
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:03,000
Thank you very much.

792
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:07,000
Vice-meritalkahashi Council members, David Donnie who pissed us on the resident.

793
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:14,000
The previous speaker speaking, I think as a resident or a member of the Transportation Commission.

794
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:16,000
I'm not sure I didn't hear that.

795
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:20,000
The nice thing about boards and commissions is they report to this body.

796
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:23,000
They do not make decisions for the city of Burbank.

797
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:31,000
So if it was 415161101, it doesn't matter to this body.

798
02:18:31,000 --> 02:18:35,000
You all were elected to make those decisions for us.

799
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:42,000
There's been a great deal of effort to keep all of Avenue the way that it is.

800
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:46,000
And just have a mixed flow until the ridership is increased.

801
02:18:46,000 --> 02:18:51,000
This body has voted twice to support that.

802
02:18:51,000 --> 02:19:00,000
And I am confident that even against what council member Anthony has said to the Metro Board twice.

803
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:05,000
They're in person against the guidance of this body on his own.

804
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:07,000
Joking and grinning the way that you are now.

805
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:09,000
That doesn't care.

806
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Even though the council recommended it for that.

807
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:13,000
It didn't hurt you.

808
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:14,000
It probably helped.

809
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:15,000
So good job.

810
02:19:15,000 --> 02:19:18,000
Brilliant political guy.

811
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:21,000
The other thing I want to talk to about and it's probably directed at.

812
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:27,000
I believe the Mareperas and any any council member who said that it's not on the agenda.

813
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:29,000
So why are you here talking about it?

814
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:31,000
Men out of said that specifically.

815
02:19:31,000 --> 02:19:33,000
But we're here because why?

816
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Look, this is a little counter.

817
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:36,000
I still have a minute 30.

818
02:19:36,000 --> 02:19:37,000
I don't have 60 seconds.

819
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:41,000
I can talk to you about the BRT like I just have.

820
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:46,000
And now we're going to be talking about rent control and rent caps bad.

821
02:19:46,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Burbank fair housing.

822
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:51,000
A brilliant political action committee.

823
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:52,000
Burbank fair housing.

824
02:19:52,000 --> 02:19:55,000
Don't delay my burbank.

825
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:59,000
We are putting together a series of videos on our YouTube channel.

826
02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:04,000
And I've never had better community outreach from housing providers.

827
02:20:04,000 --> 02:20:06,000
And the next phase are going to be tenants.

828
02:20:06,000 --> 02:20:12,000
Tenants that have not come to this group because I believe the level of intimidation by the Burbank

829
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:16,000
and its union who go to these places and say, don't you want representation?

830
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:20,000
Because you're being discriminated against for any reason.

831
02:20:20,000 --> 02:20:24,000
They're demonizing housing providers and that has to stop.

832
02:20:24,000 --> 02:20:30,000
So I respectfully thank the council for looking at these issues from both perspectives.

833
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,000
And that particularly on a slow night like tonight,

834
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:37,000
we're going to take our opportunity with public comment to say just that.

835
02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:38,000
Thank you.

836
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:39,000
Have a good night.

837
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:41,000
Thank you for your comment.

838
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:45,000
Next up is Harry Jamerian followed by Elizabeth Bax.

839
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:30,000
We'll wait till everybody gets it.

840
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Welcome Mr. Tamarian.

841
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:33,000
You have three minutes.

842
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:34,000
Thank you.

843
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:37,000
Honorable Vice Mayor City Council.

844
02:21:37,000 --> 02:21:38,000
Good evening.

845
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:42,000
I'm here to speak about two items today.

846
02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:46,000
On July 15, I sent an email to each of you requesting updates to terminology

847
02:21:46,000 --> 02:21:49,000
and policies relating to housing providers.

848
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:54,000
This request came on behalf of the Burbank Association realtors and included three specific items

849
02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:59,000
that we believe are essential for fairness and professionalism in our city's housing landscape.

850
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:01,000
These are not radical changes.

851
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:04,000
They are practical, respectful, and long overdue.

852
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:08,000
We asked the city of Burbank up to this terminology.

853
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:14,000
Replacing the word landlord with housing provider in all official documents, communications and commission titles.

854
02:22:14,000 --> 02:22:19,000
For example, the landlord tenant commission should be renamed to housing provider tenant commission.

855
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:20,000
Why?

856
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Because words matter.

857
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:26,000
This change would reflect mutual respect and acknowledge the important role housing providers playing our community.

858
02:22:26,000 --> 02:22:30,000
It's about recognizing that housing providers are more than just property owners.

859
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:34,000
They are partners in creating safe, stable homes.

860
02:22:34,000 --> 02:22:40,000
Second, we request the city prepare and maintain professional dedicated forms for housing providers.

861
02:22:40,000 --> 02:22:43,000
Right now, most city forms are written exclusively for tenants.

862
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:48,000
Housing providers often have to cross out the word tenant and handwrite housing provider.

863
02:22:48,000 --> 02:22:50,000
This is not just inconvenient.

864
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:51,000
It is unprofessional.

865
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:53,000
It's unprofessional.

866
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:58,000
Inequitable and sends a wrong message about the city's disregard for housing partners.

867
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:03,000
A clear accessible and professional prepared forms would go a long way in building trust and cooperation.

868
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:10,000
Third, we are as a city to adopt an anti-airassment ordinance that protects housing providers from tenants or assments.

869
02:23:10,000 --> 02:23:13,000
Just this tenants already are already protected.

870
02:23:13,000 --> 02:23:18,000
Horizons can include threats, vandalism, frivolous legal actions, or repeated lease violations.

871
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:25,000
These behaviors cause real harm both financially and emotionally and should be taken seriously.

872
02:23:25,000 --> 02:23:28,000
The city of Claire Mont has already enacted such protections.

873
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:33,000
Birmingham should follow that example, ensuring a balanced and fair approach for everyone.

874
02:23:33,000 --> 02:23:44,000
Implementing these changes, terminology updates, professional forms, revisions, and anti-airassment protections will foster a more cooperative, respectful, and sustainable housing environment in Birmingham.

875
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:47,000
Remember, housing providers are not adversaries.

876
02:23:47,000 --> 02:23:51,000
They are allies in keeping the city livable, safe and welcoming.

877
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:58,000
Second, September 7, Council members Anthony and Rosati are hosting a pickle ball tournament to support BCR.

878
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:08,000
I am proud and honored to announce that the Burbank Association of Realtors, Terrible Arm, the Burbank Realtors Community Foundation will be sponsoring the entire lunch for all the participants.

879
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:11,000
The sponsor amount is $700.

880
02:24:11,000 --> 02:24:15,000
Realtors and housing providers together love giving back to this community.

881
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:17,000
Thank you so much.

882
02:24:18,000 --> 02:24:20,000
Thank you for your comment.

883
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:26,000
Next up is Elizabeth Bax, followed by Chuck Mercer and that's my last card.

884
02:24:26,000 --> 02:24:29,000
Welcome, Ms. Bax, you have three minutes.

885
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:32,000
Hello, everybody. I'm Elizabeth Bax.

886
02:24:32,000 --> 02:24:39,000
I'm going to continue a little bit on where I left off last week since I only had 60 seconds.

887
02:24:40,000 --> 02:24:55,000
I don't when Mr. Donahue said that Council member Anthony was able to go to the LA Metro and say what we did not represent here in Burbank twice.

888
02:24:55,000 --> 02:25:04,000
And it didn't affect him. Council member Anthony, it didn't affect you that you spoke their twice. Nothing happened to you.

889
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:10,000
But if this becomes a dedicated lane, it's going to affect a lot of people that live here in Burbank.

890
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:13,000
Not just one, but a lot.

891
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:20,000
And yes, there are some pluses to it, but the people that live between point of vista and victory.

892
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:24,000
Not even going over the overpass will be deeply affected.

893
02:25:24,000 --> 02:25:30,000
I don't think I need to remind you school starts tomorrow for all of Burbank School District.

894
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:35,000
John Burrow's high school, Disney Elementary School.

895
02:25:35,000 --> 02:25:38,000
Howard's middle school.

896
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:48,000
And I can add into that pack, Roosevelt Elementary and Stevenson Elementary will all be affected with a dedicated lane.

897
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:54,000
All the families, not just the people that live in those neighborhoods, but all the people that feed into that.

898
02:25:54,000 --> 02:26:00,000
We have two major public high schools in this area.

899
02:26:00,000 --> 02:26:08,000
So half of the city's kids go to that school and half of them go to the other school and they have to get there.

900
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:15,000
And the Metro link or the Metro bus will not take them there.

901
02:26:15,000 --> 02:26:20,000
I would like to encourage you to participate tomorrow morning.

902
02:26:20,000 --> 02:26:22,000
Maybe starting at 730.

903
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:28,000
You could maybe hang out at the Starbucks on sparks and all of it in Virgo.

904
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:32,000
That's a big intersection with a lot of people going through it.

905
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:38,000
And then I would invite you to come down to Oak or maybe go over to Clark.

906
02:26:38,000 --> 02:26:43,000
Clark up by Burrows and see what the traffic patterns are already like.

907
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Because I'm close to Oak and I see those traffic patterns.

908
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:50,000
And I hear those horns honking honking every morning.

909
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:54,000
Now what's going to happen when we have a dedicated lane?

910
02:26:54,000 --> 02:27:01,000
And all the people, all the extra people that want to bleed down into our neighborhoods are going down Oak and Clark.

911
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:03,000
No big deal.

912
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:06,000
No big deal that we're going to take care of the bridge.

913
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:08,000
That's the trade off.

914
02:27:08,000 --> 02:27:10,000
We get the bridge paid for.

915
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:16,000
And no big deal that maybe somebody gets killed.

916
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:22,000
Because I don't have a stop sign on Oak by my house.

917
02:27:22,000 --> 02:27:26,000
So either they're going real fast or they're not paying attention,

918
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:29,000
but they're usually going real fast because they're late.

919
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:31,000
So I'd like for you.

920
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:33,000
I'd encourage you to do that.

921
02:27:33,000 --> 02:27:34,000
Thank you.

922
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:36,000
Thank you for your comment.

923
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:39,000
Last up we have Chuck Mercier.

924
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:41,000
That's my last card.

925
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:44,000
And Tom Stender's not here right still.

926
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:46,000
Okay.

927
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:47,000
Welcome Mr. Mercier.

928
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:48,000
You have three minutes.

929
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:49,000
Thank you.

930
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:51,000
Thank you, City Council.

931
02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:53,000
I appreciate the time.

932
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:59,000
I'm very lucky to be a businessperson for 46 years in the city of Burbank.

933
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:03,000
This is about the safer streets plan.

934
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:05,000
I have a lot of questions about it.

935
02:28:05,000 --> 02:28:10,000
When they replace the Burbank Boulevard overpass the bridge,

936
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:12,000
I was affected greatly by it.

937
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:16,000
Because I was basically strike out of business by the city of Burbank.

938
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:21,000
I had to get the city to change the striping.

939
02:28:21,000 --> 02:28:29,000
But my business collects about $1.40 a gallon.

940
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:31,000
That everybody has to pay for gas.

941
02:28:31,000 --> 02:28:34,000
It doesn't have an electric car.

942
02:28:34,000 --> 02:28:37,000
The people have the rights to use these streets.

943
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:38,000
They pay for it.

944
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:40,000
They pay for it in taxes.

945
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:41,000
Okay.

946
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:44,000
Plus we get three quarters of a percent for the city of Burbank.

947
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:46,000
Over the $1.40 a gallon.

948
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:47,000
It's collected.

949
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:48,000
State federal.

950
02:28:48,000 --> 02:28:50,000
All the different funds are there.

951
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:52,000
I'm very lucky to be in Burbank.

952
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:53,000
And I.

953
02:28:53,000 --> 02:28:55,000
So fortunate to be.

954
02:28:55,000 --> 02:28:57,000
Have the city of Burbank.

955
02:28:57,000 --> 02:28:59,000
The police department and the fire department both.

956
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:00,000
They're awesome.

957
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:03,000
You guys have taken one lane.

958
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:04,000
Up on all of.

959
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:06,000
And that turned it into a bus lane.

960
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:09,000
And you guys have a lot of issues with that.

961
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:12,000
I don't know that the.

962
02:29:12,000 --> 02:29:16,000
The funding that we get from the government for what they want to do with the streets.

963
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:19,000
And the bike lanes and all these things that they want to block.

964
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:21,000
And maybe take the sidewalks out.

965
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:22,000
I live.

966
02:29:22,000 --> 02:29:24,000
My business is in the San Fernando corridor.

967
02:29:24,000 --> 02:29:25,000
Okay.

968
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:26,000
So that corridor.

969
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:28,000
I don't know what they're going to do with it.

970
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:29,000
Yeah.

971
02:29:29,000 --> 02:29:32,000
I mean, I'm not sure what the plans are with the safer streets.

972
02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:36,000
Number one is the speed of the people driving.

973
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:39,000
They expect in the lawlessness that the drivers have.

974
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:43,000
And the disrespect that they have for the pedestrians.

975
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:45,000
The people or other people.

976
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:46,000
It's number one.

977
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:49,000
It's the drivers that causes the accidents and the safety.

978
02:29:49,000 --> 02:29:52,000
And they're lack of paying attention to what they're doing.

979
02:29:52,000 --> 02:29:57,000
And I'm not sure what the money is going to be done for the streets.

980
02:29:57,000 --> 02:29:59,000
And what you guys are going to change in there.

981
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:00,000
A lot of the stuff.

982
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:14,000
But how much is it going to cost? When I was going through some of the paperwork on your 158 pages on your presentation for safer streets, there was an article in there and I just have a question about it.

983
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:29,000
It's in there. In 21, there was $5 billion and please correct me if I'm wrong, but it was there. There was $5 billion, supposedly over five years. Maybe that was for Burbank or for all of LA.

984
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:38,000
I don't know. Can anybody clarify that? It's in your 158 pages on this safer streets.

985
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:42,000
You can't do it back and forth here, but the staff may respond to you.

986
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:47,000
Okay. Also, a lot of it is done for bicycle safety. Okay.

987
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:52,000
At my intersection at Burbank and San Fernando, and I'm sure everybody here has gone through that intersection.

988
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:54,000
Thank you. That's your time. I'm sorry.

989
02:30:54,000 --> 02:30:59,000
So where you avoid that intersection because of the traffic problems.

990
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:07,000
That was our last speaker. And we haven't completed in person general public comment and we'll be moving on to call ins.

991
02:31:07,000 --> 02:31:14,000
For callers, please remember to lower the volume on your TV or computer and take your phone off speaker when you deliver public comment.

992
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:17,000
Madam city clerk, how many callers do we have on the line tonight?

993
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:19,000
We have three callers on the line.

994
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Okay. Please.

995
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:23,000
Send them in.

996
02:31:23,000 --> 02:31:26,000
The first caller is John Jero.

997
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:29,000
Welcome Mr. Jero, you have three minutes.

998
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:34,000
Yes. I think that's where council members have.

999
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:43,000
There are 527 frequencies in Burbank, presently.

1000
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:47,000
That's according to Zillow.

1001
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:53,000
The market is very, very soft that demand is very low.

1002
02:31:53,000 --> 02:31:59,000
And the supply with 527 units is plantiful.

1003
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:08,000
Not only is that the existing number, but we have more housing coming online, almost monthly.

1004
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:15,000
My point is that the market will adjust economically on its own merits.

1005
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:26,000
There is no need for rent caps, no need for rent registries, rents are decreasing actually.

1006
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:34,000
And there's no need for more Burbank housing ordinances or restrictions.

1007
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:40,000
Allow the market place to handle itself economically.

1008
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:43,000
That is the proper adjustment.

1009
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:47,000
It does not need additional government supervision.

1010
02:32:47,000 --> 02:32:50,000
Thank you very much.

1011
02:32:50,000 --> 02:32:53,000
Thank you for your call. Next caller, please.

1012
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:10,000
Hello.

1013
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:12,000
The next caller is Jackie.

1014
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:15,000
Welcome Jackie, you have three minutes.

1015
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:17,000
Okay, thank you.

1016
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:20,000
Good evening, city council.

1017
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:24,000
I wanted you to discuss some, this is quite nice.

1018
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:32,000
In the last few minutes, but city council trying to silence people from talking about rent control.

1019
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:35,000
I don't get this.

1020
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:41,000
If there's becoming to be a very large suspicion in the communities at the council,

1021
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:47,000
really isn't listening to anybody's anyway, so they'd rather not hear people coming down talking about that.

1022
02:33:47,000 --> 02:33:51,000
Now, I don't know if that has been provided.

1023
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:59,000
So, Burbank tenants are not really sure, but I thought it was pretty unprofessional of the city council members to say,

1024
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:01,000
we're not talking about rent control.

1025
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:05,000
Well, you may not be, but we are.

1026
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:16,000
The people who are coming before you have every right to speak on any general topics affecting the city, rent control, rent registers is one topic.

1027
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:26,000
I'd like to remind you once again, there was two votes in the city Burbank that denied the desire for rent control.

1028
02:34:26,000 --> 02:34:30,000
There was also a big line vote.

1029
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:34,000
Pop 33 that was voted down to the peak.

1030
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:37,000
Faving that the people don't want it.

1031
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:45,000
So, we have five city council people who are going to impose their will against the will of the people.

1032
02:34:45,000 --> 02:34:48,000
That is really unnecessary.

1033
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:50,000
And it's a different strategy.

1034
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:56,000
And I hope that every one of you stops to think about, are you there to represent citizens?

1035
02:34:56,000 --> 02:35:00,000
Or are you there to represent your own personal agenda?

1036
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:04,000
Quite frankly, I hope you decide the right way.

1037
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:13,000
We are having a lot of positive, positive words, you know, soundbites.

1038
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:17,000
People have evil landlords, all of that stuff.

1039
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:21,000
And quite frankly, the data doesn't support any of that.

1040
02:35:21,000 --> 02:35:25,000
The housing crisis, they all come in down.

1041
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:38,000
And if the government, you tried council people, would get out of the way and let the free market regulate what needs to be happening, it will work out.

1042
02:35:38,000 --> 02:35:42,000
You have so few complaints to murder.

1043
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:47,000
Regarding trends being harassed and retaliated, all of that.

1044
02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:49,000
There's an eighth in the city.

1045
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:53,000
So, you know, one thing is this problem.

1046
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:55,000
A few people.

1047
02:35:55,000 --> 02:36:03,000
A few people cannot really be paid to at the expense of the greatest majority.

1048
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:08,000
I would suggest that the city council read some of the Orwell novels.

1049
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:11,000
Or Joywell and I'm fine with the good one.

1050
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:13,000
That's her time.

1051
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:15,000
Thank you for your comment.

1052
02:36:15,000 --> 02:36:17,000
Next, caller, please.

1053
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:19,000
The last caller is Jopinganta.

1054
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:26,000
Welcome Mr. Pimienta, you have three minutes.

1055
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:29,000
Hi, good evening, council.

1056
02:36:29,000 --> 02:36:33,000
Once again, wishing I was there in person, but I'll ask here we are.

1057
02:36:33,000 --> 02:36:34,000
I hope you're doing well.

1058
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:35,000
So, do you need everyone?

1059
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:40,000
I've got to include the significant part of council, staff, and everybody in the chamber.

1060
02:36:40,000 --> 02:36:44,000
As you all know, Jopinganta currently a resident of Perbank.

1061
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:47,000
I'm calling too much specifically to talk about them.

1062
02:36:47,000 --> 02:36:55,000
So, last year, as you all remember, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Chandler Bikeway.

1063
02:36:55,000 --> 02:36:59,000
And everyone had a great time and it was really cool.

1064
02:36:59,000 --> 02:37:04,000
And everyone was just saying how it's such a great gem to the city.

1065
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:10,000
When we were organizing for that, some of the things that we kept coming across because we were prepping for, you know,

1066
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:12,000
for like the trivia not enough.

1067
02:37:12,000 --> 02:37:17,000
One of the things that we came across was just during the design of that,

1068
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:23,000
how much opposition there was and how many people were opposing and saying all these things

1069
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:27,000
that it was going to ruin the community and it was going to ruin the neighborhood.

1070
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:32,000
And the reason why I bring that up is because it was the same talking point that we are hearing now

1071
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:34,000
when it comes into the PRT.

1072
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:38,000
I'd be exactly one two to two of just like how it's going to ruin the neighborhood,

1073
02:37:38,000 --> 02:37:42,000
how it's going to ruin everything that is happening on all of it.

1074
02:37:42,000 --> 02:37:44,000
Well, like we just noticed that's not true.

1075
02:37:44,000 --> 02:37:48,000
Because the similar thing happened when they were doing the at the Perbank Channel Bikeway,

1076
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:51,000
which goes all throughout the Perbank Canal.

1077
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:53,000
So again, just something to consider.

1078
02:37:53,000 --> 02:37:59,000
Because again, as we all know, the more diversity there is for public transportation,

1079
02:37:59,000 --> 02:38:03,000
the more accessible it becomes the safer it becomes, the safer it becomes, the safer it becomes,

1080
02:38:03,000 --> 02:38:04,000
sorry.

1081
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:08,000
Because again, like that's something that we all keep saying that if we want to keep furthering safe,

1082
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:12,000
when it comes into traffic, what makes it unsafe is the cars.

1083
02:38:12,000 --> 02:38:14,000
Well, it's just wanted to point that out.

1084
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:20,000
Also, I do want to just add a little bit of more extra support for the SBO5,

1085
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:25,000
because we all know, really, it's ice that is really putting in a thread into our community.

1086
02:38:25,000 --> 02:38:28,000
Ice is what's making a lot of people feel unsafe.

1087
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:31,000
Ice is what's threading is what is threading a lot of our residents.

1088
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:38,000
So yeah, I'm really glad to hear that there is a port to make sure that they say that out of a way out of our city.

1089
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:42,000
And lastly, I wasn't going to say too much about housing, because you all know where I stand.

1090
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:47,000
But I just think it's hilarious if someone came in, quoting MLK, not knowing if it's politics.

1091
02:38:47,000 --> 02:38:52,000
And I also think it's really fun that someone's put in Mr. Spock, a cup of needs of the many.

1092
02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:57,000
When again, we keep saying that yeah, that the men in the community is a majority of residents in the city,

1093
02:38:57,000 --> 02:39:01,000
which happen to be this in franchise in this case.

1094
02:39:01,000 --> 02:39:06,000
So with that in mind, once again, thank you for your service.

1095
02:39:06,000 --> 02:39:09,000
I hope you're doing well, and I hope to see you on the next one.

1096
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:12,000
Enjoy the rest of your evening.

1097
02:39:12,000 --> 02:39:14,000
Thank you for your call.

1098
02:39:14,000 --> 02:39:16,000
So another caller on the line?

1099
02:39:17,000 --> 02:39:19,000
That was our last caller.

1100
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:20,000
Great, thank you.

1101
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:22,000
There being notes for other public comment.

1102
02:39:22,000 --> 02:39:25,000
I now declare the general public comment period closed.

1103
02:39:25,000 --> 02:39:29,000
Now's the time for a brief response from city council, city manager or the city attorney.

1104
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:31,000
City manager, city attorney, do you have any response?

1105
02:39:31,000 --> 02:39:32,000
No.

1106
02:39:32,000 --> 02:39:33,000
Okay.

1107
02:39:33,000 --> 02:39:34,000
Council.

1108
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:35,000
Would like to go first.

1109
02:39:35,000 --> 02:39:36,000
Mr. Council.

1110
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:37,000
Thank you.

1111
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:43,000
First of all, thank you all for coming down.

1112
02:39:43,000 --> 02:39:46,000
Mr. Donna here.

1113
02:39:46,000 --> 02:39:47,000
You're correct.

1114
02:39:47,000 --> 02:39:49,000
It is opportune to come on a slow night.

1115
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:51,000
You do get the full three minutes.

1116
02:39:51,000 --> 02:39:52,000
So there is some merit to that.

1117
02:39:52,000 --> 02:39:54,000
I do agree with you.

1118
02:39:54,000 --> 02:39:57,000
I wanted to recommend the gentleman.

1119
02:39:57,000 --> 02:39:59,000
It was talking about the five billion dollars.

1120
02:39:59,000 --> 02:40:01,000
I haven't found that in my packet.

1121
02:40:01,000 --> 02:40:02,000
I was looking for it.

1122
02:40:02,000 --> 02:40:06,000
If you want to stick around, it is agenda item number seven.

1123
02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:11,000
You can hear the staff report and maybe we'll hear back from them at that point.

1124
02:40:11,000 --> 02:40:14,000
If you want to hang out and listen.

1125
02:40:14,000 --> 02:40:15,000
Page 19.

1126
02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:16,000
I'll look it up.

1127
02:40:16,000 --> 02:40:17,000
Thank you.

1128
02:40:17,000 --> 02:40:19,000
Ms. Bax.

1129
02:40:19,000 --> 02:40:24,000
I, my concern with the early morning drop-offs.

1130
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:27,000
I take my son to mirror every morning.

1131
02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:28,000
Yes.

1132
02:40:28,000 --> 02:40:31,000
It does get out of hand and it is dangerous.

1133
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:34,000
We actually have an item number eight.

1134
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:36,000
Later on today, talking about,

1135
02:40:36,000 --> 02:40:37,000
sorry, number seven.

1136
02:40:37,000 --> 02:40:39,000
Talking about safer streets.

1137
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:47,000
And hopefully we can have a good discussion tonight about that.

1138
02:40:47,000 --> 02:40:51,000
The media jobs expo was a phenomenal success.

1139
02:40:51,000 --> 02:40:54,000
Even more people showed up this year than last year.

1140
02:40:54,000 --> 02:40:56,000
And I agree with you, Mr. Scrogues.

1141
02:40:56,000 --> 02:41:00,000
The number one complaint I got back from people was nobody was hiring.

1142
02:41:00,000 --> 02:41:05,000
I want to just inform the public.

1143
02:41:05,000 --> 02:41:06,000
The jobs are down.

1144
02:41:06,000 --> 02:41:09,000
Media jobs are not back where they were pre-pandemic.

1145
02:41:09,000 --> 02:41:10,000
They're coming back.

1146
02:41:10,000 --> 02:41:13,000
They're not at the levels where they should be.

1147
02:41:13,000 --> 02:41:16,000
And it's a multitude of factors.

1148
02:41:16,000 --> 02:41:18,000
It's a whole bunch of brief comments.

1149
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:19,000
This is not an agenda.

1150
02:41:19,000 --> 02:41:20,000
It's topic.

1151
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:21,000
You're right.

1152
02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:23,000
So it is difficult.

1153
02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:25,000
That's the last thing I wanted to say.

1154
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:28,000
And I will look up that producer Patrick on Instagram.

1155
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:29,000
Thank you.

1156
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:30,000
Yeah.

1157
02:41:30,000 --> 02:41:33,000
We'd like to go next.

1158
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:36,000
Councilmember Mullins.

1159
02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:38,000
Okay, I guess I was chosen to go.

1160
02:41:38,000 --> 02:41:41,000
Thank you.

1161
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:44,000
I want to congratulate Burbank High School.

1162
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:45,000
Great job.

1163
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:47,000
I mean the team.

1164
02:41:47,000 --> 02:41:52,000
I'm very impressed with these young men are doing to help other communities.

1165
02:41:52,000 --> 02:41:54,000
So congratulations.

1166
02:41:54,000 --> 02:42:02,000
Also to Kayla, our new social worker and officer Paniske for welcoming to our team.

1167
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:07,000
And furthering the new role they have right now.

1168
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:12,000
I do want to ask a quick question regarding Mr. Bax.

1169
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:17,000
24% increase in our trash.

1170
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:21,000
Would our public work director, is that accurate?

1171
02:42:21,000 --> 02:42:25,000
I just want to make sure not that Mr. Bax put it down in paper.

1172
02:42:25,000 --> 02:42:26,000
That was in accurate.

1173
02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:30,000
But is it a total 24% and less than a year?

1174
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:33,000
Is that number compound somehow?

1175
02:42:33,000 --> 02:42:36,000
So Madam Vice, Mayor Councilmember.

1176
02:42:36,000 --> 02:42:38,000
Thank you for the question.

1177
02:42:38,000 --> 02:42:39,000
Councilmember Mullins.

1178
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:47,000
Councilmember E. calls part of the budget process that there was a for refuse an 8% increase this year.

1179
02:42:47,000 --> 02:42:49,000
This fiscal year and next fiscal year.

1180
02:42:49,000 --> 02:42:55,000
So July 1st, you know, it's typical in these scenarios where the solid waste.

1181
02:42:55,000 --> 02:42:58,000
The customer service call center will get calls.

1182
02:42:58,000 --> 02:43:00,000
Why is my trash bill coming up?

1183
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:04,000
Now in the case of potentially multi-family.

1184
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:09,000
They don't have to choose city of Burbank services.

1185
02:43:09,000 --> 02:43:10,000
They could be private services.

1186
02:43:10,000 --> 02:43:16,000
So I'm not sure exactly which bill the general will be looking at.

1187
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:22,000
But for us and city services, it was only an 8% out of me only.

1188
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:27,000
The only increase for a city of Burbank was 8% for refuse.

1189
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:36,000
Okay, so I just would encourage Mr. Bax perhaps contacting public works department and looking at the the bill.

1190
02:43:36,000 --> 02:43:38,000
If that seemed to.

1191
02:43:38,000 --> 02:43:39,000
Okay.

1192
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:40,000
Well.

1193
02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:41,000
And if I may.

1194
02:43:41,000 --> 02:43:49,000
Councilmember, if anybody has questions, please call 818-238-3800 for the public works services yard.

1195
02:43:49,000 --> 02:43:53,000
And they can answer any questions about your solid waste services.

1196
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:57,000
Thank you.

1197
02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:02,000
I also want to address Mr. Lewis.

1198
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:08,000
The comments that were made in regards to BRT and relating and it's not on the agenda.

1199
02:44:08,000 --> 02:44:12,000
So I have to keep it brief before the city attorney tells me to keep it brief.

1200
02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:18,000
I just want to say it once again because I heard it twice tonight that the bridge.

1201
02:44:18,000 --> 02:44:26,000
The bridge and BRT. Those are two separate items. The bridge is a project for the city of Burbank.

1202
02:44:26,000 --> 02:44:33,000
BRT is a separate project and it has nothing to do with the bridge meaning BRT comes.

1203
02:44:33,000 --> 02:44:39,000
The bridge is not going to be built or BRT doesn't come if the bridge doesn't get built.

1204
02:44:39,000 --> 02:44:44,000
Either way, we are working on the bridge and thanks to congresswoman Friedman.

1205
02:44:44,000 --> 02:44:47,000
She's giving us some extra money to help us with the project.

1206
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:49,000
So please separate that.

1207
02:44:49,000 --> 02:44:51,000
No, see the trick is to keep talking until he tells you.

1208
02:44:51,000 --> 02:44:56,000
No, no, no. Let's more smarter so I can keep on going.

1209
02:44:56,000 --> 02:44:59,000
I'm looking at him on this idea.

1210
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:11,000
Also, I'd like to address the Mr. Tamarian talking about the item that he emailed us.

1211
02:45:11,000 --> 02:45:18,000
I did receive the email at the end of this meeting. I will be asking for an additional report to come back.

1212
02:45:18,000 --> 02:45:26,000
So, I apologize if I didn't get back to you on an email to let you know exactly what we're looking at.

1213
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:33,000
Thank you for speaking tonight and I will be requesting for a report to come back. So, we have more information on it.

1214
02:45:33,000 --> 02:45:48,000
Also, thank you, Mr. Jero. I haven't heard from you in a while, so it's nice to hear your voice and I understand the concern over the vacancies that are going on right now in our city.

1215
02:45:48,000 --> 02:45:56,000
Last, also, Jackie, you called in regards to council, maybe trying to silence.

1216
02:45:56,000 --> 02:46:08,000
People that come and speak before us and I will tell you over and over, you're always welcome to come and speak about any topic that on the agenda or off the agenda.

1217
02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:18,000
You have the right to speak, even if it's not on the agenda, that is you're right as a citizen and member of this community to address the council.

1218
02:46:18,000 --> 02:46:25,000
So, I'm sorry if you got the impression, I know I'm always welcoming everybody and not saying anything.

1219
02:46:25,000 --> 02:46:34,000
So, thank you for bringing that matter to our attention, so I just want to make sure that you know that you'll welcome to come and speak here.

1220
02:46:35,000 --> 02:46:39,000
That was it. Thank you. Thank you.

1221
02:46:39,000 --> 02:46:41,000
Council members, aye.

1222
02:46:41,000 --> 02:46:48,000
Thank you, Madam Vice Mayor. Just want to say thank you to Mr. Hart for his leadership.

1223
02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:55,000
The Burbank baseball team. I see him in the community quite a bit and he's always there with his athletes.

1224
02:46:55,000 --> 02:47:00,000
So, I think he's a great role model, so I just want to thank him for that.

1225
02:47:00,000 --> 02:47:03,000
The speaker regarding the Chandler Bike Path.

1226
02:47:03,000 --> 02:47:11,000
I don't know, I lived on Chandler and Florence and I don't remember anyone changing themselves to the railroad tracks.

1227
02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:19,000
Having the train, not rattle your home twice a day, was welcome to have that lead Burbank.

1228
02:47:19,000 --> 02:47:28,000
So, Mr. Tamarian, thank you for the documents. I will probably request this to be on a future agenda item.

1229
02:47:28,000 --> 02:47:37,000
Thank you for the money-dollar donation to BRC. That's an awesome gift. We appreciate that.

1230
02:47:37,000 --> 02:47:41,000
And I think it'll be a fun day.

1231
02:47:41,000 --> 02:47:53,000
Mr. Lewis, you know, maybe we should have a workshop. We have two commissioners that constantly relate BRT in the bridge.

1232
02:47:53,000 --> 02:48:01,000
And over and over there, having the dedicated lane, even though council's will is mixed flow.

1233
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:06,000
So, we may have to have a workshop for the transportation commission.

1234
02:48:06,000 --> 02:48:19,000
Mr. Bax, regarding my statement, my statement was referring to the tenants union and what I was hearing, what I experienced in my profession.

1235
02:48:19,000 --> 02:48:26,000
And then, at the end of the day, with the data was given back to us by the city manager. So, that's where my statement came from.

1236
02:48:26,000 --> 02:48:30,000
And those are all my comments. Thank you.

1237
02:48:30,000 --> 02:48:32,000
Thank you.

1238
02:48:32,000 --> 02:48:39,000
As always, thank you so much for coming out tonight, sitting through all the things that happened before public comment, making your public comment.

1239
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:43,000
Thanks to those who called and to those who emailed and met during the week.

1240
02:48:43,000 --> 02:48:47,000
Several of you spoke on items that we'll address a little later in the agenda.

1241
02:48:47,000 --> 02:48:56,000
So, we'll get to that at that point. If you can't stay, you can watch later online and feel free to reach out to us afterwards if you want to follow up after the meeting.

1242
02:48:56,000 --> 02:48:59,000
Not tonight though tomorrow.

1243
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:03,000
I'm excited about our new social worker at the library.

1244
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:08,000
And they're new CSO. She looks, she looks great. So, I want to see your action.

1245
02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:12,000
Okay. Let's see. Let's see. Mr. Bax always love your data.

1246
02:49:12,000 --> 02:49:14,000
Bring more.

1247
02:49:14,000 --> 02:49:20,000
Mr. Scrogs. Thank you for your update about, always your updates about the entertainment industry.

1248
02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:23,000
I saw you at the, I don't know if you're still here, Mr. Scrogs.

1249
02:49:23,000 --> 02:49:26,000
Yeah, you are. I saw you at the fair. It's good to see you there.

1250
02:49:26,000 --> 02:49:30,000
And fair point about it being labeled as a job fair.

1251
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:34,000
And I had talked to staff while we were at the event about that very thing.

1252
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:37,000
So, they are aware of the community sentiment around that.

1253
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:42,000
And if you have any thoughts on how to better market it to be accurate, please feel free to show to me.

1254
02:49:42,000 --> 02:49:44,000
And I will really.

1255
02:49:44,000 --> 02:49:52,000
Let's see. For those who spoke about housing, I just want to check with staff that our housing item is still coming back in October, correct?

1256
02:49:52,000 --> 02:49:54,000
Yes. Okay.

1257
02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:58,000
And then we had a comment about the Commission as well. Commission sizes.

1258
02:49:58,000 --> 02:50:01,000
That's coming back at the 26th, right?

1259
02:50:01,000 --> 02:50:03,000
Oh, sorry.

1260
02:50:04,000 --> 02:50:08,000
And the Commission size item is coming back on October 26th.

1261
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:09,000
Sorry, it's over.

1262
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:10,000
If I'm already in October, am I right?

1263
02:50:10,000 --> 02:50:11,000
Yeah.

1264
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:12,000
August 26th.

1265
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:13,000
Next reading. Yeah.

1266
02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:14,000
Okay. Thank you.

1267
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:15,000
Two weeks.

1268
02:50:15,000 --> 02:50:16,000
Two weeks.

1269
02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:17,000
Great.

1270
02:50:17,000 --> 02:50:19,000
Let's see.

1271
02:50:19,000 --> 02:50:24,000
To the couple folks who mentioned about the speaking on items that are not on the agenda for public comment,

1272
02:50:24,000 --> 02:50:30,000
you're absolutely 100% right that you can speak on any item that's related to the city when during your three minutes.

1273
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:33,000
And please feel free to do that as much as you like.

1274
02:50:33,000 --> 02:50:39,000
I, I, I, I similar sentiments to councilmember Mullins that free speech totally huge supporter of it.

1275
02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:41,000
Speak as much as you like.

1276
02:50:41,000 --> 02:50:44,000
If I had mentioned anything about it not being on the agenda.

1277
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:51,000
My hope is that my intention, this would be my intention is that to just let you know that because it's not on the agenda, we can't reply back.

1278
02:50:51,000 --> 02:50:53,000
It's not something we'll be discussing later.

1279
02:50:53,000 --> 02:50:58,000
So sometimes folks bring out a large number of people to talk about an item that we can't discuss.

1280
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:04,000
And that's just the, folks in the audience know who don't come to the meetings regularly that perhaps that we, we can't, we can't reply.

1281
02:51:04,000 --> 02:51:09,000
That's not that we're not listening, we just can't reply because that item's not on the agenda.

1282
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:11,000
And then this is a termarian.

1283
02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:13,000
Thank you for this packet.

1284
02:51:13,000 --> 02:51:17,000
I'd love to set up a meeting to discuss further with you if you want to follow up.

1285
02:51:17,000 --> 02:51:21,000
Set up a meeting to discuss further with you to follow up.

1286
02:51:21,000 --> 02:51:24,000
And thank you for bringing up the pickle ball tournament for BCR.

1287
02:51:24,000 --> 02:51:26,000
And then that's great. Awesome.

1288
02:51:26,000 --> 02:51:28,000
Love those kinds of things.

1289
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:29,000
Let's see.

1290
02:51:29,000 --> 02:51:30,000
Yeah.

1291
02:51:30,000 --> 02:51:37,000
And then lastly, up to Mr. Mercer, while we can't speak on the type item right now, you did mention something about your business.

1292
02:51:37,000 --> 02:51:40,000

1293
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:44,000

1352
02:54:55,000 --> 02:55:02,000
As no additional public comment cards will be accepted once the comment period commences following staff's presentation.

1353
02:55:02,000 --> 02:55:12,000
So our first report tonight is the introduction of an ordinance amending title six chapter one of the Burbank Municipal Code to clarify the city's parking restrictions near intersections.

1354
02:55:12,000 --> 02:55:19,000
Please welcome Mr. Kyle Cramer associate transportation planner to please present the part welcome Mr. Cramer.

1355
02:55:19,000 --> 02:55:20,000
Thank you vice mayor.

1356
02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:21,000
Good evening.

1357
02:55:21,000 --> 02:55:22,000
Vice mayor talk.

1358
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:24,000
How should you members of the city council.

1359
02:55:24,000 --> 02:55:26,000
As mentioned, my name is Kyle Cramer.

1360
02:55:26,000 --> 02:55:29,000
I'm an associate transportation planner with the community development department.

1361
02:55:29,000 --> 02:55:37,000
And I'm here to present an ordinance amending title six chapter one of the Burbank Municipal Code to clarify parking restrictions near intersections.

1362
02:55:37,000 --> 02:55:40,000
Please have the presentation.

1363
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:48,000
All right. We are here today because of a new state law AB 413 which relates to parking near crosswalks.

1364
02:55:48,000 --> 02:55:53,000
This new law creates some potential conflicts with the Burbank Municipal Code and enforcement.

1365
02:55:53,000 --> 02:56:02,000
So staff and community development, public works and police looked at those conflicts and developed a proposed ordinance to address them.

1366
02:56:02,000 --> 02:56:13,000
So for some background on AB 413 focuses on what is often called day lighting which involves removing parking spaces near intersections and crosswalks to improve visibility.

1367
02:56:13,000 --> 02:56:21,000
As you can see in the diagram here parked cars near the intersection can block drivers and pedestrians sight lines increasing the risk of a collision.

1368
02:56:21,000 --> 02:56:29,000
I'm sure everyone here has had the experience of trying to cross the street and peek around a car that's part to see if there's on coming traffic.

1369
02:56:29,000 --> 02:56:34,000
By removing the parked cars drivers and pedestrians can see each other more clearly.

1370
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:43,000
This practice has received a lot of attention for its street safety benefits groups like the National Association of City Transportation Officials or NACTO.

1371
02:56:43,000 --> 02:56:49,000
Recommended day lighting distance of 20 to 25 feet and this is the standard in many states already.

1372
02:56:49,000 --> 02:56:55,000
So the state drew on this guidance when creating the legislation that was AB 413.

1373
02:56:55,000 --> 02:57:05,000
If this sounds familiar it's because Burbank has applied and enforced its own local standards since 1979 prohibiting parking near intersections.

1374
02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:09,000
So as far as how AB 413 works it's pretty simple.

1375
02:57:09,000 --> 02:57:14,000
If prohibits parking within 20 feet of the approach to a crosswalk whether or not the crosswalk is marked.

1376
02:57:14,000 --> 02:57:20,000
So for instance a stop sign is an unmarked crosswalk and whether or not the distance is marked with red curve.

1377
02:57:20,000 --> 02:57:23,000
The distance is 15 feet for a crosswalk with curve extensions.

1378
02:57:23,000 --> 02:57:28,000
So this means no parking in the area directly in front of the crosswalk is your driving towards it.

1379
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:38,000
However the new law also allows cities to set their own distance if that distance is set with a finding based on street safety and the distance is marked with red curve or signage.

1380
02:57:38,000 --> 02:57:42,000
So how is this different from the existing Burbank municipal code?

1381
02:57:42,000 --> 02:57:47,000
The Burbank municipal code requires red curve or signage while AB 413 does not.

1382
02:57:47,000 --> 02:58:01,000
The BMC refers to parking near intersections rather than crosswalks and it applies at every corner of an intersection rather than AB 413 only applies on the legs approaching the crosswalk.

1383
02:58:01,000 --> 02:58:06,000
And this is a little stuffy but there's different legal definitions for crosswalk and intersection as well.

1384
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:14,000
The BMC also provides a longer distance of 25 feet of traffic control devices as opposed to 20 feet under AB 413.

1385
02:58:14,000 --> 02:58:22,000
Finally is previously mentioned the state law requires local alternatives to have a safety finding which the BMC does not currently have.

1386
02:58:22,000 --> 02:58:33,000
So as a quick visual guide the basic difference for motorists is that the BMC prohibits parking anywhere where there's red curve around an intersection.

1387
02:58:33,000 --> 02:58:42,000
While intersections without red curve AB 413 makes parking directly in front of the crosswalk on the approach side prohibited.

1388
02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:53,000
So in the picture here the crosswalks marked to be more visible by the crosswalk if it's unmarked is measured from the back of the sidewalk sort of an imaginary line.

1389
02:58:53,000 --> 02:58:59,000
So both standards provide safety benefits from day lighting in different situations whether it's marked or unmarked.

1390
02:58:59,000 --> 02:59:08,000
However the BMC generally provides a more robust day lighting standard and so staff determine the existing BMC standard should be preserved.

1391
02:59:08,000 --> 02:59:18,000
So therefore staff recommends moving forward with an implementation approach that preserves and then supplements the status quo by enforcing both the BMC and the CVC.

1392
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:26,000
Where an intersection is marked with red curve the BMC applies where it is not marked the AB 413 default restriction of 20 feet applies.

1393
02:59:26,000 --> 02:59:33,000
This approach will maintain the existing red curve standards is defined in the BMC which as discussed are more robust in the state law.

1394
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:45,000
The city can still expand red curve locations is needed both as part of ongoing routine maintenance and in response to any frequent complaints or enforcement issues with AB 413.

1395
02:59:45,000 --> 02:59:50,000
In practice the city's red curve parking restrictions remain essentially the same.

1396
02:59:50,000 --> 02:59:57,000
On paper the ordinance adds a safety finding to ensure the code is enforceable and clarify some definitions.

1397
02:59:57,000 --> 03:00:00,000
And since AB 413 is a statewide law.

1398
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:10,000
A lot, something that residents will need to be familiar with, both in and outside of Burbank. So staff recommends providing community education to help explain AB413.

1399
03:00:10,000 --> 03:00:17,000
Staff have begun to prepare educational materials for social media and the city website, and will move forward with publishing those materials.

1400
03:00:17,000 --> 03:00:27,000
And police also plan to reach out to the community at events. So what this means for residents moving forward, is that parking in red curb areas remains prohibited.

1401
03:00:27,000 --> 03:00:31,000
Motorists should already not be parking in red curb, that does not change.

1402
03:00:31,000 --> 03:00:40,000
What's new, and has been an effect actually since January 1, is that state law says that parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk is also prohibited.

1403
03:00:40,000 --> 03:00:44,000
Even if there's no red curb and even if the crosswalk is unmarked.

1404
03:00:44,000 --> 03:00:51,000
20 feet, about the length of a car, so this basically means don't park up to the street corner or in front of a stop sign.

1405
03:00:52,000 --> 03:00:59,000
The areas without red curb are typically in lower volume, more residential areas with less safety concern.

1406
03:00:59,000 --> 03:01:12,000
So in conclusion, staff recommends that the council introduced an ordinance, a mending title six motor vehicles and traffic chapter one vehicles and traffic of the Burbank municipal code relating to parking near intersections.

1407
03:01:12,000 --> 03:01:16,000
That concludes my presentation, and I'm available for questions.

1408
03:01:17,000 --> 03:01:22,000
Great, thank you for the presentation. We'll move on to public comment for a minute and we'll come back to you.

1409
03:01:22,000 --> 03:01:24,000
Can you grab the thank you.

1410
03:01:24,000 --> 03:01:29,000
So the public comment period for this report to council is now beginning and no additional cards will be accepted.

1411
03:01:29,000 --> 03:01:40,000
We have one card. Great, so you get three minutes for our one speaker who will be Ron Bax.

1412
03:01:40,000 --> 03:01:45,000
Welcome Mr. Bax, you have another three minutes.

1413
03:01:45,000 --> 03:01:47,000
Thank you, council.

1414
03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:53,000
The next two senses were prepared before I realized or knew that the most baseball team would be here.

1415
03:01:53,000 --> 03:01:57,000
I apologize to not as a double header.

1416
03:01:57,000 --> 03:02:04,000
I spent many, many, many, many years writing requirements and design documentation.

1417
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:12,000
Yet, I had to read this attachment or the attachments many times before I thought understood them.

1418
03:02:12,000 --> 03:02:17,000
I apologize to any lawyers within the sound of my voice.

1419
03:02:17,000 --> 03:02:21,000
Okay, maybe I should see an AB bill or an SB bill.

1420
03:02:21,000 --> 03:02:25,000
Okay, so is there a cliff note publication on this?

1421
03:02:25,000 --> 03:02:34,000
The may have been some clarification in the presentation, but as I have seen it, it applies to an intersection where you're approaching intersection.

1422
03:02:34,000 --> 03:02:37,000
The red curve, honor this red zone.

1423
03:02:37,000 --> 03:02:46,000
If there's no red zone, then the curve return back 15 feet is the restriction, although I saw 15 and 20 on the slide.

1424
03:02:46,000 --> 03:02:47,000
So I'm not sure.

1425
03:02:47,000 --> 03:02:54,000
If there's signage, which I don't think he covered, what I would think I read, then it's 25 feet back from any signage.

1426
03:02:54,000 --> 03:03:00,000
Okay, and then my question would be because it defined a curve return as with an alley.

1427
03:03:00,000 --> 03:03:04,000
Our alley curves affected too. I hope not.

1428
03:03:04,000 --> 03:03:06,000
You puzzled.

1429
03:03:06,000 --> 03:03:08,000
Okay.

1430
03:03:08,000 --> 03:03:13,000
The state also, because I read this a long time ago, was talking about five feet from a driveway.

1431
03:03:13,000 --> 03:03:15,000
I hope we don't do that here.

1432
03:03:15,000 --> 03:03:21,000
Most situations, we have a 40 foot space between driveways in the residential area in Burbank.

1433
03:03:21,000 --> 03:03:25,000
Cars are about 20 feet, so you can get two cars in there.

1434
03:03:25,000 --> 03:03:29,000
Okay, removing five feet from each side leaves 30 feet.

1435
03:03:29,000 --> 03:03:31,000
Only one car is possible.

1436
03:03:31,000 --> 03:03:34,000
Residential parking would be cut in half, basically.

1437
03:03:34,000 --> 03:03:39,000
Think carefully if that rabbit hole appears before you, before you go down it.

1438
03:03:39,000 --> 03:03:41,000
Thank you.

1439
03:03:41,000 --> 03:03:44,000
Thank you for your comment.

1440
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:46,000
That's all the public comment we have for this report.

1441
03:03:46,000 --> 03:03:52,000
Does staff have any responses to public comment?

1442
03:03:52,000 --> 03:04:00,000
I would just note that the current Burbank Municipal Code does not cover any red curve near driveways.

1443
03:04:00,000 --> 03:04:05,000
And this proposed ordinance doesn't do anything to change that.

1444
03:04:05,000 --> 03:04:07,000
Okay, thank you.

1445
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:09,000
All right, council.

1446
03:04:09,000 --> 03:04:12,000
Let's, yeah, council member remont.

1447
03:04:12,000 --> 03:04:13,000
Thank you.

1448
03:04:13,000 --> 03:04:18,000
I just have a quick question before I ask my questions regarding Mr.

1449
03:04:18,000 --> 03:04:22,000
Max said five feet from the driveway.

1450
03:04:22,000 --> 03:04:24,000
That's not what we're proposing.

1451
03:04:24,000 --> 03:04:29,000
Are we currently ticketing people for parking five feet from the driveway?

1452
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:31,000
Not good.

1453
03:04:31,000 --> 03:04:32,000
Not good.

1454
03:04:32,000 --> 03:04:33,000
Not good.

1455
03:04:33,000 --> 03:04:38,000
Not that I'm aware of, or, I mean, there's no ordinance that says anything to that effect.

1456
03:04:38,000 --> 03:04:43,000
So maybe that was discussed at some point historically, but it's not in our code.

1457
03:04:43,000 --> 03:04:46,000
So is one of the older people in the room.

1458
03:04:46,000 --> 03:04:47,000
Historically.

1459
03:04:47,000 --> 03:04:57,000
We have a separately a corner cutoff requirement for fences, hedges completely unrelated to parking of vehicles.

1460
03:04:57,000 --> 03:05:05,000
But it is marked from walls near alleys, driveways, but it's completely different.

1461
03:05:05,000 --> 03:05:14,000
It's to preserve sight lines for pedestrians entering and exiting driveways and alleys.

1462
03:05:14,000 --> 03:05:18,000
But it's unrelated to this and it doesn't affect motor vehicles.

1463
03:05:18,000 --> 03:05:19,000
Okay, thank you.

1464
03:05:19,000 --> 03:05:27,000
And Mr. Bax, that's why you saw the puzzle look on my face because of what the five feet that you had mentioned.

1465
03:05:27,000 --> 03:05:29,000
I was not aware that we had that.

1466
03:05:29,000 --> 03:05:30,000
So thank you.

1467
03:05:30,000 --> 03:05:32,000
Did you want to continue with questions?

1468
03:05:32,000 --> 03:05:33,000
I'll list somebody else.

1469
03:05:33,000 --> 03:05:35,000
Let's go.

1470
03:05:36,000 --> 03:05:48,000
So I know in the report that we have indicated that if we might be looking at painting.

1471
03:05:48,000 --> 03:05:55,000
The curves read if it's a high violation area.

1472
03:05:55,000 --> 03:06:02,000
So if I guess we notice this constant violation, then we're going to go out and paint those curves read.

1473
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:05,000
Do you want to continue to eliminate people from parking in that area?

1474
03:06:05,000 --> 03:06:08,000
Is that correct?

1475
03:06:08,000 --> 03:06:10,000
Yes, that's correct.

1476
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:22,000
And is there any plan to paint more red curve or we're just going to kind of pause and wait and see which areas that we have maybe more complaints?

1477
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:23,000
More tickets?

1478
03:06:23,000 --> 03:06:31,000
How are we going to make a decision and what priority are we going to put together to decide to go out and paint it?

1479
03:06:31,000 --> 03:06:34,000
Thank you for the question.

1480
03:06:34,000 --> 03:06:40,000
The public works department, paints red curve routinely as part of street maintenance.

1481
03:06:40,000 --> 03:06:51,000
So city policy is if re-paving a street, if there's existing red curve that's faded or particularly on the higher traffic,

1482
03:06:51,000 --> 03:06:54,000
our materials, corridors, where there's signals.

1483
03:06:54,000 --> 03:07:00,000
Those are definitely going to be priority locations for red curve re-painting around schools.

1484
03:07:00,000 --> 03:07:05,000
There's another common location and then definitely by request.

1485
03:07:05,000 --> 03:07:10,000
So the city has a standard curve painting program.

1486
03:07:10,000 --> 03:07:14,000
That's part of routine maintenance.

1487
03:07:14,000 --> 03:07:20,000
However, when looking at sort of the logistics of going out and painting every intersection in the city to comply,

1488
03:07:20,000 --> 03:07:24,000
with AB 413 or to comply with the BMC,

1489
03:07:24,000 --> 03:07:30,000
either one, staff determine that that would be a very large use of resources.

1490
03:07:30,000 --> 03:07:38,000
And maybe it would involve a trade-off in terms of resources versus the real safety benefit of doing so.

1491
03:07:38,000 --> 03:07:43,000
But certainly it's always an option to add more and curb in a specific location.

1492
03:07:43,000 --> 03:07:49,000
So it's over time that as we're out there doing the work and we recognize that we can possibly do it,

1493
03:07:49,000 --> 03:07:52,000
then we'll do it at that time.

1494
03:07:52,000 --> 03:07:57,000
You talked about notifying or making the community aware.

1495
03:07:57,000 --> 03:08:03,000
So of the new implementation and the change in the BMC.

1496
03:08:03,000 --> 03:08:08,000
Do we have a specific plan how we're doing this beside just social media?

1497
03:08:08,000 --> 03:08:10,000
Are we sending out flyers?

1498
03:08:10,000 --> 03:08:15,000
Did we print something that might have slide number six,

1499
03:08:15,000 --> 03:08:20,000
which is the great slide here that shows where to park?

1500
03:08:20,000 --> 03:08:23,000
Is that something we're planning on doing?

1501
03:08:23,000 --> 03:08:26,000
Or put in our front counters, perhaps?

1502
03:08:26,000 --> 03:08:32,000
So the public can be aware that we have the new BMC code?

1503
03:08:32,000 --> 03:08:35,000
Yes, thanks for the question.

1504
03:08:35,000 --> 03:08:38,000
As putting at the counter is a great idea.

1505
03:08:38,000 --> 03:08:41,000
I think that that should definitely be worked into the plan.

1506
03:08:41,000 --> 03:08:47,000
We prepared an FAQ page for the city website.

1507
03:08:47,000 --> 03:08:55,000
And PIO is developing slightly more sophisticated graphics than the ones in the presentation.

1508
03:08:55,000 --> 03:09:00,000
But those will be available on the city website and then also social media.

1509
03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:04,000
Hopefully developing some sort of a video or real.

1510
03:09:04,000 --> 03:09:10,000
And just as a clarification, nothing is really changing in the local ordinance.

1511
03:09:10,000 --> 03:09:15,000
So the BMC will continue to be effectively the same.

1512
03:09:15,000 --> 03:09:19,000
If you go to park in a red curb area, that's still prohibited.

1513
03:09:19,000 --> 03:09:23,000
What's different is actually the state law has changed.

1514
03:09:23,000 --> 03:09:30,000
So the city will be staff will be working to inform people about that change in the state law as well.

1515
03:09:30,000 --> 03:09:31,000
Thank you.

1516
03:09:31,000 --> 03:09:38,000
And if I may add, I think it's going to be very, very important to reach out to the high schools

1517
03:09:38,000 --> 03:09:43,000
and to work with our schools to notify them.

1518
03:09:43,000 --> 03:09:48,000
So the students are notified, the students who are driving.

1519
03:09:48,000 --> 03:09:52,000
I happen as I mentioned many times before, live next to school.

1520
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:57,000
And if there is a space, they will take it all the way up to the stop sign.

1521
03:09:57,000 --> 03:10:05,000
So I can envision on the first day of school, squeezing until we, of course, approve the BMC adopted.

1522
03:10:05,000 --> 03:10:08,000
They're going to find a space they're going to park.

1523
03:10:08,000 --> 03:10:11,000
And then we're going to have an issue with why did I get a park in ticket?

1524
03:10:11,000 --> 03:10:16,000
I know we're not out there, just like going to be ticketing everyone at the same day.

1525
03:10:16,000 --> 03:10:20,000
But it's very important that we work with the schools to notify them.

1526
03:10:20,000 --> 03:10:27,000
So at least maybe a picture, a nicer picture, as you said, or something, but together by a PIO office,

1527
03:10:27,000 --> 03:10:31,000
that would be sent to the school so they can give it to the students.

1528
03:10:31,000 --> 03:10:38,000
And this would eliminate a lot of unnecessary phone calls or having to reach out to the police department.

1529
03:10:38,000 --> 03:10:39,000
So thank you.

1530
03:10:39,000 --> 03:10:42,000
I am in favor of this, absolutely.

1531
03:10:42,000 --> 03:10:43,000
I think it's good to do.

1532
03:10:43,000 --> 03:10:47,000
But I think we just need to do a lot of education for now.

1533
03:10:47,000 --> 03:10:48,000
Thank you.

1534
03:10:48,000 --> 03:10:50,000
Thank you, Councilmember.

1535
03:10:50,000 --> 03:10:52,000
Councilmember Zoddy?

1536
03:10:53,000 --> 03:10:55,000
I might thank you, Madam.

1537
03:10:55,000 --> 03:10:58,000
My Mayor.

1538
03:10:58,000 --> 03:11:03,000
My other question is regarding enforcement, and when we start to enforce our,

1539
03:11:03,000 --> 03:11:08,000
our office is going to carry tape measures or, you know,

1540
03:11:08,000 --> 03:11:13,000
how is it going to work if it's your two inches, three inches if it's not painted?

1541
03:11:13,000 --> 03:11:16,000
What will happen?

1542
03:11:16,000 --> 03:11:18,000
Right, that's an excellent question.

1543
03:11:18,000 --> 03:11:25,000
So typically the police department enforces these types of curb parking complaints,

1544
03:11:25,000 --> 03:11:28,000
mostly on a complaint base basis.

1545
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:36,000
So there's not going to be necessarily an extremely strong effort to go out and catch every single person

1546
03:11:36,000 --> 03:11:42,000
from my understanding, speaking to police.

1547
03:11:42,000 --> 03:11:47,000
The other thing here is it's very much common sense focused.

1548
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:54,000
So thinking about that, you know, one caroling rule of thumb of, you know,

1549
03:11:54,000 --> 03:11:59,000
are you parking basically a caroling back from from the intersection,

1550
03:11:59,000 --> 03:12:02,000
are you parking right up to the limit line of the stop sign?

1551
03:12:02,000 --> 03:12:09,000
And so I would hope that, you know, any enforcement officer would use some common sense in that situation.

1552
03:12:09,000 --> 03:12:14,000
And if someone's parked right up to the stop sign, that really is a safety concern

1553
03:12:14,000 --> 03:12:17,000
and that they would enforce in that situation.

1554
03:12:17,000 --> 03:12:22,000
But, you know, if it's 17, 18 feet, maybe, maybe slide.

1555
03:12:22,000 --> 03:12:28,000
But I think to fully comply with it, they probably would also measure just to be safe.

1556
03:12:28,000 --> 03:12:31,000
Yeah, it's just a little subjective, that's all.

1557
03:12:31,000 --> 03:12:34,000
Until things are actually marked off.

1558
03:12:34,000 --> 03:12:41,000
You know, if you drive a mini Cooper versus Ford F150, one caroling,

1559
03:12:41,000 --> 03:12:42,000
it's just a caroling.

1560
03:12:42,000 --> 03:12:44,000
And the other person is going to say, I'm a caroling.

1561
03:12:44,000 --> 03:12:47,000
Well, those are two different cars.

1562
03:12:47,000 --> 03:12:48,000
All right.

1563
03:12:48,000 --> 03:12:49,000
I'm in favor.

1564
03:12:49,000 --> 03:12:51,000
It's definitely a safety thing.

1565
03:12:51,000 --> 03:12:56,000
I was definitely in favor of the corner cutoffs when they did that.

1566
03:12:56,000 --> 03:13:02,000
So, yeah, I think we've got to use some common sense on how we're going to enforce this.

1567
03:13:02,000 --> 03:13:07,000
And like, council member Molin said, education is going to be key.

1568
03:13:07,000 --> 03:13:15,000
Maybe we get to videos of council member at our house trying to take parking spaces away or something.

1569
03:13:15,000 --> 03:13:26,000
But I think education is the key to really help our residents kind of understand what direction we're going with us.

1570
03:13:26,000 --> 03:13:27,000
Well, thank you.

1571
03:13:27,000 --> 03:13:29,000
Council member Anthony.

1572
03:13:29,000 --> 03:13:31,000
Thank you.

1573
03:13:31,000 --> 03:13:34,000
That's funny.

1574
03:13:34,000 --> 03:13:39,000
You could probably see somebody crossing in front of a mini Cooper, but probably not an F150.

1575
03:13:39,000 --> 03:13:44,000
So, something we've said with the size of cars these days is, you know.

1576
03:13:44,000 --> 03:13:51,000
So, AB 413, it was passed in 2023 and it took effect on January 1st of this year.

1577
03:13:51,000 --> 03:13:52,000
Yes.

1578
03:13:52,000 --> 03:13:54,000
Have we given out any tickets this year?

1579
03:13:54,000 --> 03:13:55,000
For this?

1580
03:13:55,000 --> 03:13:57,000
I'm not sure.

1581
03:13:57,000 --> 03:14:00,000
I would have to check with police on that.

1582
03:14:00,000 --> 03:14:02,000
I might understand. Oh, sorry.

1583
03:14:02,000 --> 03:14:04,000
All right. Good evening, council members.

1584
03:14:04,000 --> 03:14:06,000
Let's look at the Courriana senior assistant city attorney.

1585
03:14:06,000 --> 03:14:08,000
I just want to clarify.

1586
03:14:08,000 --> 03:14:13,000
The bill actually became effective January 1st, 2020.

1587
03:14:13,000 --> 03:14:15,000
4.

1588
03:14:15,000 --> 03:14:16,000
It was passed in 2023.

1589
03:14:16,000 --> 03:14:18,000
Because it was passed in 2023.

1590
03:14:18,000 --> 03:14:22,000
However, the state gave a one year grace period for citations.

1591
03:14:22,000 --> 03:14:25,000
So, beginning January 1st, 2025.

1592
03:14:25,000 --> 03:14:29,000
We could enforce the state law via citation.

1593
03:14:29,000 --> 03:14:34,000
But we were not mandated to enforce it.

1594
03:14:34,000 --> 03:14:38,000
Prior to that, we could not enforce it by citation only by warning.

1595
03:14:38,000 --> 03:14:43,000
Okay. So, we haven't given any tickets out.

1596
03:14:43,000 --> 03:14:44,000
We didn't give out tickets last year.

1597
03:14:44,000 --> 03:14:46,000
We haven't given any tickets this year.

1598
03:14:46,000 --> 03:14:48,000
Not that I'm aware of.

1599
03:14:48,000 --> 03:14:57,000
My question is I was going to be a very difficult question.

1600
03:14:57,000 --> 03:15:00,000
Yes. And so, especially without having.

1601
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:06,600
The data, however, it's already been mentioned here, especially leading with education. And for the

1602
03:15:06,600 --> 03:15:12,400
most part, any type of violations that do occur are going to be, we're going to respond, that are

1603
03:15:12,400 --> 03:15:20,160
going to be, or it's going to be a complaint to a financial say. So I guess you've read

1604
03:15:20,160 --> 03:15:31,600
before one, three, are, is there some big push in Burbank? Are you seeing a need for us to go out

1605
03:15:31,600 --> 03:15:41,440
and start ticketing to the 20th foot like on the on the loop inch? Because we've had our own

1606
03:15:41,440 --> 03:15:50,720
ordinance since 1979, I hear all the time traffic issues come to this bias and from the community

1607
03:15:50,720 --> 03:15:58,320
members, then I have yet to hear any problems with our crosswalks. So just from your own personal

1608
03:15:58,320 --> 03:16:06,640
opinion, do you feel like there's a push for this in the city? So, excuse me Chief, this is state law, and the

1609
03:16:06,640 --> 03:16:12,800
purpose of the ordinance is to reconcile our ordinance with state law. Right. So, and that is yes.

1610
03:16:13,600 --> 03:16:21,360
The reason I'm asking this question is, what I see here is an opportunity for us if we create our own

1611
03:16:21,360 --> 03:16:31,120
findings and create a system for red curbing, we can basically bolster our own local ordinance,

1612
03:16:31,840 --> 03:16:37,760
rather than this amorphous, no red curb issue. So I guess my question is,

1613
03:16:39,360 --> 03:16:45,520
right now, A before, four, one, three is in effect and it affects every city that doesn't have an

1614
03:16:45,520 --> 03:16:51,840
ordinance with findings. If at some point in a future date, six months from now, a year from now,

1615
03:16:51,840 --> 03:16:58,240
two years from now, we create our own ordinance with findings and with red curb usage,

1616
03:16:59,200 --> 03:17:04,240
are we then allowed to implement that and become exempt from maybe four, one, three?

1617
03:17:11,520 --> 03:17:16,880
Good evening again, Lisa Curryhara, senior assistant city attorney. I will attempt to answer this question.

1618
03:17:18,480 --> 03:17:27,200
And staff discussed this. We talked about various options, including a program where we would basically

1619
03:17:27,200 --> 03:17:35,360
adopt a zero-foot restriction around intersections. Because right now, the default under existing

1620
03:17:35,360 --> 03:17:41,840
state law is what was adopted under A before, one, three, whether or not there's a red, red curve present.

1621
03:17:42,720 --> 03:17:49,440
Currently, under the cities existing daylighting ordinance, we red curve intersections where,

1622
03:17:50,080 --> 03:17:58,160
you know, it appears that daylighting is the best safety practice based on traffic, pedestrian usage,

1623
03:17:58,160 --> 03:18:05,920
and we do that intersection by intersection. Correct. So, theoretically, we could adopt a zero-foot

1624
03:18:06,960 --> 03:18:13,680
restriction. However, I think our transportation team in coordination with

1625
03:18:14,400 --> 03:18:20,000
our police department, as well as our public work department, determined that the best

1626
03:18:20,000 --> 03:18:28,800
approach here was to layer on state law on top of our existing red curve ordinance. Because we will

1627
03:18:28,800 --> 03:18:35,840
receive calls asking why we're not enforcing state law. You know, there may be intersections where it's

1628
03:18:35,840 --> 03:18:44,480
an issue, and it becomes communicated to us through this complaint-based system. You know, we don't

1629
03:18:44,480 --> 03:18:49,760
have folks who are out at every single intersection looking at traffic conditions every single day, and so

1630
03:18:49,760 --> 03:18:56,640
sometimes you don't know. So, I think moving forward with the option that staff's present at tonight

1631
03:18:56,640 --> 03:19:04,000
does give you the option to kind of sit back and observe, and if it becomes necessary to red curve

1632
03:19:04,000 --> 03:19:09,680
more intersections, our ordinance still gives us that ability to do so. The findings that are

1633
03:19:09,680 --> 03:19:19,440
in tonight's ordinance give the city the ability to adopt different distance requirements. It's

1634
03:19:19,440 --> 03:19:25,520
certain intersections and red curve of them so that it's very clear to the public. And it gives the public

1635
03:19:25,520 --> 03:19:32,800
work's director the discretion to determine whether, you know, certain intersections require

1636
03:19:32,800 --> 03:19:38,800
the distances set by ordinance, set by state law or a different setback. So, there's nothing to

1637
03:19:38,800 --> 03:19:44,480
discuss. Yes, yes, and the reason I ask that is because I am painfully aware that the process of red

1638
03:19:44,480 --> 03:19:51,840
curving, and the way we do it, intersection by intersection, it is costly, but I do believe it is a more

1639
03:19:51,840 --> 03:20:00,880
effective method than a blanket statewide. This is the number. And so, yeah, I will reserve my

1640
03:20:02,160 --> 03:20:07,440
comments for a section in the evening that we call additional agenda items and I'll leave it at that.

1641
03:20:09,200 --> 03:20:14,960
Thank you. Okay. Thank you. All right. My question is let's see. So, just really quick, I agree with

1642
03:20:14,960 --> 03:20:20,640
my colleagues that this is a safety thing that's absolutely not. I'm sorry. I can't, I can't let that rest.

1643
03:20:20,640 --> 03:20:26,160
If, if you're going to talk at length, this would be the time to talk about it. No, I later,

1644
03:20:26,160 --> 03:20:31,360
when you're limited to future agenda items, yes, I will save effort. There is a point during

1645
03:20:31,360 --> 03:20:35,360
the deliberation that I'm going to talk about, but I don't want to get into it because

1646
03:20:36,720 --> 03:20:41,040
I'm going to ask for an additional agenda. Okay. I just want you to force me to cut you off later,

1647
03:20:41,040 --> 03:20:46,560
because you should have talked about that. That's okay. That's okay. All right. Thank you for that

1648
03:20:46,560 --> 03:20:53,120
clarification. All right. So, anyway, I can get out of the way. Yes. I agree that this is definitely a

1649
03:20:53,120 --> 03:20:58,720
safety issue that happens all the time. Trying to make a right-hand turn and that cars right there and

1650
03:20:58,720 --> 03:21:04,080
can not see. You cannot see the cars coming and you have to inch out and when my, but I call our baby

1651
03:21:04,080 --> 03:21:07,520
car, it's a little bit easier because we have a short nose, but on our bigger van, it's like harder to

1652
03:21:07,520 --> 03:21:12,400
because you might stay way out to the intersection in order to see. So, it's very important to have that.

1653
03:21:12,960 --> 03:21:18,000
At the same time, it's going to have an impact on the community, so. All right. So, questions I have about

1654
03:21:18,000 --> 03:21:26,080
this are also with enforcement. So, for somebody who, let's say, let's say you've got somebody who repeatedly,

1655
03:21:26,080 --> 03:21:30,880
or let's just say the first time they're in that spot and somebody complains, I cannot see this person's

1656
03:21:30,880 --> 03:21:37,120
part here that I'm going to assume is going to be education at first to help them understand the law to move them

1657
03:21:38,080 --> 03:21:43,680
along. But then, what if they repeatedly do it? What is the fine pattern, or have you, I didn't

1658
03:21:43,680 --> 03:21:47,840
notice that in the materials, maybe it was there on a mistake, but what's the pattern for like finding after that?

1659
03:21:49,040 --> 03:21:56,400
For the parking there repeatedly? Sorry. So, the question is, what's the pattern for a repeated

1660
03:21:57,040 --> 03:22:06,160
violation of the law? Yeah. I think they would continue to be ticketed and then if the location tends

1661
03:22:06,160 --> 03:22:11,200
to be a problem, it might be something that would, you know, public works would look at it and see

1662
03:22:11,200 --> 03:22:17,680
whether it's worth adding additional red curve there. Okay. The first time, though, or maybe even second time,

1663
03:22:17,680 --> 03:22:24,240
it would be education first, or is it going to be straight to a fine or take it? I think it would depend on

1664
03:22:24,240 --> 03:22:30,640
the circumstances. Got it. Okay. I'm just thinking in my head, the scenario where somebody might complain

1665
03:22:30,640 --> 03:22:35,920
about that. There's two scenarios that come up in my mind. One is if it's like in a residential area,

1666
03:22:35,920 --> 03:22:40,320
but you're driving from a residential area onto a main street, and there's a car that parks there often,

1667
03:22:40,320 --> 03:22:49,200
or something, and people complain. Or if there's, actually, the other one is that if it's been

1668
03:22:49,200 --> 03:22:55,520
in front of a business, and somebody complains that person's parking there to work, or to shop at the business. So,

1669
03:22:55,600 --> 03:23:00,400
those are kind of two that I see commonly, so I'm just thinking ahead here to kind of enforce that,

1670
03:23:00,400 --> 03:23:06,240
or what the plan is for addressing if it happens. Because I don't, I guess, part of it for me is I'm worried

1671
03:23:06,240 --> 03:23:09,600
that there's going to be some sort of like contention around it, so I want to kind of get some clarity on how

1672
03:23:09,600 --> 03:23:16,880
that's going to be enforced. That's a great question, and that's what I mean by it would depend on the context I think

1673
03:23:16,880 --> 03:23:22,080
from what police is communicated in that kind of situation. If it's someone where it's the part,

1674
03:23:22,080 --> 03:23:26,880
it's the space on the curb right in front of their house. They run the plates. It's clearly the

1675
03:23:26,880 --> 03:23:32,240
person who lives right there, the business owner or something like that. That's a great opportunity for

1676
03:23:32,240 --> 03:23:40,000
education to go in and say, hey, there's this new state law. You can't park in this place anymore,

1677
03:23:40,640 --> 03:23:46,320
and versus just slapping a ticket down. But then once again, if it becomes a repeated issue,

1678
03:23:46,320 --> 03:23:52,000
I think that's where it might. Okay. And police might have more to say about that.

1679
03:23:52,000 --> 03:23:58,320
Vice Mayor Tucker Hashie. Chief police were a focus there. If you're asking for us to be compassionate,

1680
03:23:58,320 --> 03:24:04,400
especially with dealing with this law and the complexity of it, definitely that is something that we can do.

1681
03:24:07,040 --> 03:24:13,280
There are several laws that have come into place, I mean outside of parking, that normally can be a little

1682
03:24:13,360 --> 03:24:18,720
disruptive to the daily norm of the community. I can see or foresee this being one of them,

1683
03:24:18,720 --> 03:24:26,400
even though they had a great period of eight years. So taking that in a consideration, I think it's important

1684
03:24:26,400 --> 03:24:34,080
and it keeps on being stated here as far as the education via all our platforms. And then more

1685
03:24:34,080 --> 03:24:39,680
importantly, the communication that goes out to last because the breadth of the responsibilities

1686
03:24:39,680 --> 03:24:45,600
is going to fall on them. And so outside of operating normal operating hours, then we would get the

1687
03:24:45,600 --> 03:24:52,720
complaints. And as stated before, it is going to be for us to cite a card. It's going to be mainly

1688
03:24:52,720 --> 03:25:00,800
complaint driven. So we will do exactly what was said as far as going out, trying to do our best.

1689
03:25:01,520 --> 03:25:05,360
But it's going to be, I profess that by saying it's going to be very situation dependent.

1690
03:25:05,680 --> 03:25:12,560
So if the violation, we make a reasonable attempt to contact the registered owner, but in this

1691
03:25:12,560 --> 03:25:18,160
case, the registered owner lives out of the city at a state. And it's a violation of potential

1692
03:25:18,160 --> 03:25:25,280
safety hazard per se, especially at one of our busy intersections that even to add on top of that can be

1693
03:25:25,280 --> 03:25:32,560
considered high traffic corridors, resulting in collisions, then more than likely, then you're looking

1694
03:25:32,560 --> 03:25:37,360
at potentially either a to an vehicle, depending on the circumstances or definitely citing.

1695
03:25:37,360 --> 03:25:41,760
Right. You bring up a good point that you may not know even who the car belongs to, even though

1696
03:25:41,760 --> 03:25:45,680
it being front of a house, front of a business, you may still not know. And currently, I know I've only

1697
03:25:45,680 --> 03:25:51,600
been here short months, but I've heard of examples and seen it specifically, even on those instances

1698
03:25:51,600 --> 03:25:56,240
when we respond to complaints associated with driveways. Those are probably the most common or vehicle

1699
03:25:56,240 --> 03:26:01,440
is blocking a driveway. Try to do our best as far as locating the owner of that vehicle, getting

1700
03:26:01,440 --> 03:26:06,960
them to move it. So we don't have to, we don't ever want to put someone in that position and what

1701
03:26:06,960 --> 03:26:12,720
we're creating undue stress on them for this and especially, like I said, with a complexity of this law

1702
03:26:12,720 --> 03:26:18,320
and change. Great. Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that clarification. I have a couple of technical questions

1703
03:26:18,320 --> 03:26:23,440
about how the law might be applied. Just a folks know. So with the crosswalks, and this came to

1704
03:26:23,440 --> 03:26:27,280
mind when you were describing it earlier in the presentation, some of our crosswalks are midblock.

1705
03:26:27,920 --> 03:26:32,080
So does it count on a midblock crosswalk too or just the crosswalks that are at the corner?

1706
03:26:32,480 --> 03:26:36,400
So like I'm thinking about, I can front of ugly mug, I'm Burbank, they have a crosswalk right there.

1707
03:26:36,400 --> 03:26:42,640
There's a parking spot right in front of the crosswalk. So would that be an example? That would count to

1708
03:26:42,640 --> 03:26:50,560
be not okay. Yes, that's a good example of. And I believe this day law was written this way because

1709
03:26:50,560 --> 03:26:56,960
crosswalks aren't even broader definition than in intersection. So it's in order to capture

1710
03:26:56,960 --> 03:27:02,800
those midblock crosswalk locations. Okay. So if we don't have that many midblock crosswalks but we have

1711
03:27:02,800 --> 03:27:10,480
a few of them in the city that could impact some folks. And then speaking of that particular business

1712
03:27:10,480 --> 03:27:14,960
and there's other ones that may be affected too, some of the business licenses ask and require that

1713
03:27:14,960 --> 03:27:18,960
there's certain number of parking spots around the business in order to be able to get their, you know,

1714
03:27:18,960 --> 03:27:23,200
business license. If that parking spot is taken away because of the law. Well, that if, I

1715
03:27:23,200 --> 03:27:26,240
know, this is totally random question that just came to mind when you're doing the presentation.

1716
03:27:26,800 --> 03:27:31,520
If that parking spot is taken away, well, that permitting for that business be affected. You may not be able to

1717
03:27:31,520 --> 03:27:35,120
answer that, but I think that's an interesting question in case that affects the parking requirements for

1718
03:27:35,120 --> 03:27:35,920
those businesses.

1719
03:27:40,880 --> 03:27:46,640
Yeah, I believe that at Pondsby parking would not count toward the businesses parking requirements. So that was

1720
03:27:46,640 --> 03:27:51,680
not a situation where that would really apply. Okay, because I have talked to other, a couple of

1721
03:27:51,680 --> 03:27:55,520
businesses that said that it did counts, so I'm learning it's not okay. Good. That's good to know.

1722
03:27:56,720 --> 03:28:04,400
And then do you happen to know if other cities like Glendale, LA, anybody nearby is already implemented

1723
03:28:04,400 --> 03:28:09,520
this and if, if how it's going for them or what challenges they face or how they're enforcing?

1724
03:28:10,880 --> 03:28:15,200
That's right. Good evening, Vice Mayor. Take out how she markets when this senior

1725
03:28:15,200 --> 03:28:21,760
transportation with the Community Development Department. So there are several cities throughout

1726
03:28:21,760 --> 03:28:30,160
the state that have already applied or have done some kind of outreach for AB 413, many of these cities

1727
03:28:30,880 --> 03:28:36,160
do this because they don't have their own ordinance like Burping does. And so they have to kind of get ahead

1728
03:28:37,120 --> 03:28:46,240
of the law to inform the public. More locally Pasadena and in our research we saw the

1729
03:28:46,240 --> 03:28:53,440
they've done some outreach for AB 413 similar to what we would be doing. And I believe a number of other

1730
03:28:53,440 --> 03:28:58,480
cities in LA County should. Great. So there's cities all of those state are doing this right now.

1731
03:28:58,480 --> 03:29:02,560
We're all in the process of doing this and all in the process of figuring out how to enforce it and

1732
03:29:02,560 --> 03:29:07,920
have it educate. So we're educating kind of simultaneously the whole state at one time kind of

1733
03:29:07,920 --> 03:29:14,720
okay. That's helpful. All right. Those are my questions. Now, if there are no more questions,

1734
03:29:14,720 --> 03:29:18,240
we can move on to the deliberation, comments, thoughts, councilmember Anthony.

1735
03:29:19,520 --> 03:29:23,840
So first of all I'm supportive of this obviously. Councilmember Resarge, you are absolutely

1736
03:29:23,840 --> 03:29:29,440
correct. It is a safety issue. And like I mentioned, some cars are bigger than other cars and by

1737
03:29:29,440 --> 03:29:36,560
having a uniform code, it does provide for safety. Alluding to my earlier statements, you know,

1738
03:29:36,560 --> 03:29:43,600
recent state laws more and more are allowing for cities to sort of opt out or become exempt

1739
03:29:44,320 --> 03:29:50,480
if they make certain requirements and thresholds. And so that's kind of why I was asking those questions.

1740
03:29:53,600 --> 03:29:58,560
Just for me personally, I'd like to know how much it would cost to be able to do all the red curves.

1741
03:29:58,560 --> 03:30:00,560
When you're out?

1742
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:06,960
Not in your driving. I'm not even thinking about people from Burbank where a tourist destination, and so we have

1743
03:30:06,960 --> 03:30:12,080
people coming from out of state who may not know the California driving codes. For them, it's easier

1744
03:30:12,080 --> 03:30:19,040
to see a red curb and no not park there, right? So, you know, not knowing what the total cost is to cover

1745
03:30:19,040 --> 03:30:24,400
all those red curbs is tough. Not even knowing how much it would cost to do a study or have the findings

1746
03:30:24,400 --> 03:30:28,480
that the state has asked me for. That's tough. Those are money issues that we don't have right now.

1747
03:30:28,480 --> 03:30:36,880
But maybe at a future time we might. So, for now, fully in support, and anything else that comes

1748
03:30:36,880 --> 03:30:48,560
down the line will take it as it goes. Yeah, councilmember Moons? Yeah, as I stated earlier, this is a safety issue,

1749
03:30:48,560 --> 03:30:58,160
and the state has already given us over a year to implement this. I often wonder why we're not

1750
03:30:58,160 --> 03:31:07,120
implementing it because at times as the vice mayor said, it is very difficult to make some time

1751
03:31:07,120 --> 03:31:16,160
a right turn or at the intersection, seeing a pedestrian. And I believe that it's not everything

1752
03:31:16,160 --> 03:31:21,840
the state that implements that we automatically agree with and I happen to agree with this one. You know,

1753
03:31:21,920 --> 03:31:29,040
it is a concern. And if you drive a lot and you walk around the city, you see that there's a lot of

1754
03:31:29,040 --> 03:31:36,880
people that park all the way at the end of the curb, all the way in front of the curb, and you cannot see the

1755
03:31:36,880 --> 03:31:45,680
pedestrian. And so I'm hoping with us supporting this and making it part of our BMC that it would reduce the

1756
03:31:45,680 --> 03:31:53,360
accidents. It would protect our pedestrians. And hopefully it is going to take time to educate the

1757
03:31:53,360 --> 03:31:58,480
community or guarantee there's going to be a couple of tickets and people are going to be upset, but they're

1758
03:31:58,480 --> 03:32:04,800
going to stop doing it. Just as we're noticing in our downtown area, once you get a ticket, you're going to

1759
03:32:04,800 --> 03:32:12,480
start being aware like I shouldn't be parking like this. I shouldn't be parking there. So, education, the the other

1760
03:32:12,480 --> 03:32:23,520
thing I wanted to ask staff, maybe in regards to signage, I know it costs money, nothing is cheaper free,

1761
03:32:23,520 --> 03:32:31,200
but putting maybe signage with versus no parking between this hour and this hour is like 20 feet,

1762
03:32:32,480 --> 03:32:40,480
no parking 20 feet in this area or some kind of signage over the years can we implement that

1763
03:32:41,440 --> 03:32:49,120
and I see Mr. Brickman coming up and just education. I'm not saying do it right away, but just over time.

1764
03:32:49,120 --> 03:32:54,720
So, through the vice mayor council member, thank you for the opportunity. I just wanted to come up and

1765
03:32:54,720 --> 03:32:59,120
say public work traffic engineers and police work hand in hand all the time to see where

1766
03:32:59,920 --> 03:33:06,400
this type of extra visual or physical education for the public signage and striving. We have

1767
03:33:06,400 --> 03:33:15,040
230 miles of streets, 50 miles of alleys. We have 11,000 signs. We have 160 miles of striping

1768
03:33:15,040 --> 03:33:22,720
and 16 miles of curb painting or markings and a staff of if it's two thirds of best fold to be

1769
03:33:22,720 --> 03:33:29,120
candid, it's been four people doing this. We would have to go back to two four cast, you know, if we're

1770
03:33:29,120 --> 03:33:35,440
looking at red curbing everything related to this or signing everything related to it's going to be

1771
03:33:36,400 --> 03:33:41,040
a lot of money and it's going to be something we'd probably come back to you with staff resource or

1772
03:33:41,040 --> 03:33:47,440
contract services needs. But from from PD's perspective we work hand in hand to say we have this

1773
03:33:49,040 --> 03:33:54,240
repeated issue let's say in this case of parking by this stop sign two close and the residents will tell

1774
03:33:54,240 --> 03:34:00,640
us this PD will go out there and enforce educate and then enforce and if necessary we work collaboratively

1775
03:34:00,640 --> 03:34:05,280
say you know what let's red curve this because people just aren't paying attention. That's basically

1776
03:34:05,280 --> 03:34:12,720
the process for any additional red just any striping or signing or marking. Okay thank you. I mean

1777
03:34:12,720 --> 03:34:22,400
it there is opportunities and if we see it necessary we definitely welcome that but I think our main goal

1778
03:34:22,400 --> 03:34:28,560
behind starting this is to really educate our community. I think people are going to become aware of it

1779
03:34:28,560 --> 03:34:36,800
either the painful way getting a ticket or just knowing and reading about it in the paper or

1780
03:34:36,800 --> 03:34:43,200
at our front counters schools are very very important that we need to work with the parents and the

1781
03:34:43,200 --> 03:34:48,960
school administration to educate the kids and the parents especially dropping off their children to schools.

1782
03:34:50,160 --> 03:34:57,520
And I think over time this would become the norm for for our residents and hopefully for our visitors

1783
03:34:57,600 --> 03:35:03,200
because it's consistent among other cities it's the state law so other cities are complying with

1784
03:35:03,200 --> 03:35:11,040
the same law. So I'm definitely in favor of it to keep our pedestrian to keep our community safe.

1785
03:35:11,040 --> 03:35:14,960
So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

1786
03:35:14,960 --> 03:35:20,960
Madam Vice Mayor I'm just simply going to say this is just first step as we move forward we will start.

1787
03:35:20,960 --> 03:35:26,400
I think it's probably cheaper to paint than to sign hang signs but I think we start with the big

1788
03:35:26,400 --> 03:35:31,120
ticket. I'm just the Hollywood ways to make no way as the Glen Oaks Boulevard just those

1789
03:35:31,120 --> 03:35:39,280
intersections that are kind of problematic point of history and victory point of history and

1790
03:35:39,280 --> 03:35:45,440
burbank Boulevard point of history and make no way. So definitely for the safety aspect of this. Thank you.

1791
03:35:46,960 --> 03:35:52,000
Thank you. Yes. I'm on the same page as you all. I 100% agree this is needed for our safety

1792
03:35:52,000 --> 03:35:59,840
and for pedestrians for the cars everyone and I think what's new for folks is that this is

1793
03:35:59,840 --> 03:36:05,760
every single intersection every single crosswalk right and one's where we know that this is dangerous

1794
03:36:05,760 --> 03:36:10,560
we might say that makes sense but to understand it's every single one and that's new information but to

1795
03:36:10,560 --> 03:36:16,000
your point it's every city that's doing is not just us we're working together. Right curbs are easy to

1796
03:36:16,000 --> 03:36:22,880
understand so I'm an agreement that as much as we can right curbs are really commonly integrated like

1797
03:36:22,880 --> 03:36:27,040
I think you're point about the larger streets especially the smaller streets coming into the larger streets

1798
03:36:27,040 --> 03:36:35,120
having to turn there those are really important ones and then education absolutely 100% it's not it's

1799
03:36:35,120 --> 03:36:39,360
this is a safety thing that's obvious it should be done but it's also very different than what we have now and

1800
03:36:39,360 --> 03:36:43,920
I think just understanding that and being compassionate and understanding to our community as it is just

1801
03:36:43,920 --> 03:36:49,920
especially our businesses that lose parking in front of their business so and I'm curious I'm curious

1802
03:36:49,920 --> 03:36:56,640
how it will end up on the ground once we implement and I'm wondering if maybe you know if it's not if it's

1803
03:36:56,640 --> 03:37:00,640
ends up being kind of nothing and then people adapt to it pretty easily we don't really need feedback but

1804
03:37:00,640 --> 03:37:05,520
if maybe after six months or so you start to see some patterns it's just get a memo or a report back to us

1805
03:37:05,520 --> 03:37:12,320
we'll have to know how it's going we great and vice mayor I was going to say we probably get a ton of emails

1806
03:37:12,320 --> 03:37:18,800
for that would tell us immediately what's going on right we don't need a report because the emails will be the

1807
03:37:18,800 --> 03:37:30,400
report okay so do you want to make motion I make a motion to adopt or approve let me see the exact

1808
03:37:30,400 --> 03:37:39,680
wording that we need to do introduction of an ordinance a mending title six chapter title six chapter one

1809
03:37:39,680 --> 03:37:48,320
of the Burbank Municipal Code to clarify the city parking restriction near intersection second

1810
03:37:50,320 --> 03:37:55,200
first by councilmember Mullins second by Resotti could we please get the councilmember Anthony yes

1811
03:37:55,200 --> 03:38:00,320
councilmember Mullins yes councilmember Resotti yes and vice mayor taga hashi yes thank you

1812
03:38:01,680 --> 03:38:08,240
all right second report tonight to council is the approval of the safer streets action plan

1813
03:38:11,120 --> 03:38:17,920
and to present the report is senior transportation planner Chris Wilma Bonomo did I get it right

1814
03:38:17,920 --> 03:38:34,000
Bronoma okay welcome Mr. Bronoma

1815
03:38:34,000 --> 03:38:48,480
good evening Madam vice mayor and members of council my name is Chris Bonomo I am a senior

1816
03:38:48,480 --> 03:38:55,680
transportation planner with the community development department tonight the staff returns to city council

1817
03:38:55,680 --> 03:39:02,000
for to present for the adoption of the safer streets Burbank action plan and for direction to begin

1818
03:39:02,000 --> 03:39:12,000
implementing the plans elements first to refresher what is vision zero almost every city has

1819
03:39:12,000 --> 03:39:18,160
a general goal of improving safety the goal of vision zero's very specific eliminate traffic

1820
03:39:18,160 --> 03:39:23,840
fatalities and severe injuries in a specific time frame and with a vision zero plan the means of

1821
03:39:23,840 --> 03:39:29,280
achieving that goal are different from traditional planning and engineering methods in two main ways

1822
03:39:30,160 --> 03:39:35,520
first it recognizes that mistakes happen on our roadways and that the severity of those mistakes

1823
03:39:35,520 --> 03:39:40,960
can be minimized through safer street design second it streamlines the multi-disciplinary approach

1824
03:39:40,960 --> 03:39:48,720
necessary to address such complex problems the safer streets Burbank action plan builds on the

1825
03:39:48,720 --> 03:39:56,080
foundation sit by the Burbank 25 burbank 2035 general plan mobility element the bicycle master plan

1826
03:39:56,080 --> 03:40:00,800
and a complete our streets plan which all include policies to improve safety for the people

1827
03:40:00,800 --> 03:40:07,040
of for people of all ages abilities and modes who navigate the city's transportation network every day

1828
03:40:08,160 --> 03:40:14,480
notably the complete streets plan adopted in 2020 included the development of a local road safety plan

1829
03:40:14,480 --> 03:40:20,960
as a short term priority project the safer streets Burbank action plan qualifies as a local road safety plan

1830
03:40:20,960 --> 03:40:30,240
and fulfills that objective more broadly what this plan proposes aligns with federal and state

1831
03:40:30,240 --> 03:40:35,840
guidance from the federal highway administration and caltrans further federal and state governments

1832
03:40:35,840 --> 03:40:41,760
have encouraged cities to adopt these plans for example the caltrans highway safety improvement program

1833
03:40:41,760 --> 03:40:47,120
and federal safer streets for all grant programs require a local road safety plan to apply

1834
03:40:47,200 --> 03:40:52,400
these grant programs outline the specific criteria for a vision zero plan to qualify as a

1835
03:40:52,400 --> 03:40:57,840
local road safety plan and the safer streets Burbank action plan fulfills all of those criteria

1836
03:40:57,840 --> 03:41:02,240
therefore the safer streets Burbank action plan enables the city to apply for these funds

1837
03:41:05,440 --> 03:41:10,880
while the already adopted city documents focus on safety none commits to a specific goal and a specific

1838
03:41:10,880 --> 03:41:17,360
time period as directed during the previous city council update step change the name from vision zero to

1839
03:41:17,360 --> 03:41:22,960
safer streets Burbank to acknowledge the vital local context of this plan although the name is different

1840
03:41:22,960 --> 03:41:28,080
the goal remains the same safer streets Burbank commits to reducing the number of severe and fatal

1841
03:41:28,080 --> 03:41:34,640
crashes to zero by 2035 these guiding principles can help shape the policies goals and processes

1842
03:41:34,640 --> 03:41:37,360
that are the foundation of the city's roadway planning efforts

1843
03:41:38,240 --> 03:41:46,720
in order to pursue those goals we first need to understand the collision landscape between

1844
03:41:46,720 --> 03:41:57,440
2018 and 2022 3,835 collisions occurred on local roadways in Burbank of these 2123 or 55% resulted in

1845
03:41:57,440 --> 03:42:02,800
an injurious some kind 105 collisions resulted in somebody being killed or seriously injured

1846
03:42:03,120 --> 03:42:08,720
while pedestrians bicyclists and motorcyclists were involved in just 24% of all

1847
03:42:08,720 --> 03:42:15,520
entry collisions essentially the people outside of motor vehicles individual motor vehicles they

1848
03:42:15,520 --> 03:42:20,960
accounted for 64% of case eye collisions these overall trends are similar to those in local

1849
03:42:20,960 --> 03:42:27,520
pier cities statewide since the goal is to eliminate the most serious roadway collisions this subset of

1850
03:42:27,520 --> 03:42:32,960
data which accounts for the most serious roadway collisions was the basis for the data analysis

1851
03:42:36,080 --> 03:42:41,760
an integral part of the data analysis was to examine not just the number of collisions

1852
03:42:42,400 --> 03:42:48,160
but where they happened in order to understand these locations and where these collisions are occurring in

1853
03:42:48,160 --> 03:42:56,160
the city and to analyze the underlying contextual conditions of these corridors the city plotted all

1854
03:42:56,160 --> 03:43:02,800
collisions in a geospatial mapping software signing each collision a number of value based on the

1855
03:43:02,800 --> 03:43:08,400
severity and modes involved segments with the highest occurrence of injury collisions

1856
03:43:10,720 --> 03:43:16,480
essentially with the highest score are shown here in the lighter blue as the focus network

1857
03:43:18,080 --> 03:43:24,160
sorry the darker thinner blue lines of the focus network and those are 16% of the city's roadways

1858
03:43:24,800 --> 03:43:28,880
but account for 80% of the total fatal and serious injuries

1859
03:43:30,640 --> 03:43:35,520
then step-trial down even further to understand which of these corridors on the focus network accounted

1860
03:43:35,520 --> 03:43:40,400
for the most serious collisions so you're going down layer after layer to understand where the most

1861
03:43:40,400 --> 03:43:46,320
serious ones are happening the analysis identified nine roadway segments the ones here in lighter blue

1862
03:43:46,320 --> 03:43:51,200
that are wider and have the numbers on them plus the selection of additional intersections as the

1863
03:43:51,200 --> 03:44:00,160
priority corridors that the plan should address first the counter measured toolbox is part of

1864
03:44:00,160 --> 03:44:05,520
this plan and that outlines what can be done on these corridors it is the collection of possible project

1865
03:44:05,520 --> 03:44:11,200
components based on federal and state guidance they are cost effective quicker to install measures

1866
03:44:11,200 --> 03:44:16,400
many of which are already in place around the city today the difference here is that they will be planned

1867
03:44:16,400 --> 03:44:21,360
and a coordinated manner on on these corridors to maximize their potential layered state

1868
03:44:21,360 --> 03:44:26,960
benefits some counter measures have quicker implementation timelines while other will require additional

1869
03:44:26,960 --> 03:44:35,440
study Lawrence or procurement the next step of the process matches the data analysis and the underlying

1870
03:44:35,440 --> 03:44:40,960
conditions of each corridor with those proposed counter measures that can address the issues these

1871
03:44:40,960 --> 03:44:48,000
cut sheets shown here this is an example from the plan these cut sheets are actual our conceptual

1872
03:44:48,000 --> 03:44:54,080
plans at this point that lay out the initial idea for what each project can be these counter measures

1873
03:44:54,080 --> 03:44:58,320
of cut and cut sheets have been reviewed with other city departments and there's general

1874
03:44:58,320 --> 03:45:02,160
support for

1875
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:14,000
Or these project corridors and countermeasures, but they still need to be fully designed and developed with our cooperating departments.

1876
03:45:14,000 --> 03:45:26,000
As for action items, the main action item is to implement the corridor projects, and that reflects the overall objective to install countermeasures and locations that provide the most safety benefit as soon as possible.

1877
03:45:26,000 --> 03:45:36,000
The other five action items are also very important. They focus on the processes, procedures, and policies that can help staff bring these projects to life.

1878
03:45:36,000 --> 03:45:47,000
Since roadway project design and implementation involves various city departments, updated internal policies can improve communication, collaboration, and understanding across groups.

1879
03:45:47,000 --> 03:46:01,000
Together, these policies seek to standardise the processes for project development in the Saver Street Burbank action plan, so that these projects can be implemented efficiently.

1880
03:46:01,000 --> 03:46:09,000
Staff presented to transportation commission and city council three times each providing a public forum where residents could provide their feedback or experience.

1881
03:46:09,000 --> 03:46:14,000
Other presentations included senior board and the Burbank Advisory Council and Disabilities.

1882
03:46:14,000 --> 03:46:22,000
Formal public engagement are on the plan occurred with a three-month long online virtual portal that included a survey and pinpoint mapping tool.

1883
03:46:22,000 --> 03:46:27,000
An in-person community workshop was also held at the point of Mr. Branch Library.

1884
03:46:27,000 --> 03:46:32,000
Engagement will continue if the plan is adopted as noted in action item four.

1885
03:46:32,000 --> 03:46:40,000
Staff will develop an education program around Saver Street's Burbank for both internal stakeholders and community members.

1886
03:46:40,000 --> 03:46:50,000
If approved, staff will immediately begin on the policy related action items and begin mobilizing with on-call consultants for design work.

1887
03:46:50,000 --> 03:46:54,000
Once projects are designed, they will be slated for installation.

1888
03:46:54,000 --> 03:46:59,000
As mentioned, public engagement will continue in adopting the Saver Street's Burbank action plan.

1889
03:46:59,000 --> 03:47:09,000
The city council is endorsing an advance of many of countermeasures that the city staff may use in various locations based on the crash patterns.

1890
03:47:09,000 --> 03:47:17,000
And it is allowing staff the permission to implement these measures along the priority project corridors using professional judgment and engineering practice.

1891
03:47:18,000 --> 03:47:37,000
The quick build materials used for the improvements, which include paint, signs, ballards, signal programming, allow for specific countermeasures to go down, be observed and then be tweaked or adjusted as necessary after installation.

1892
03:47:37,000 --> 03:47:46,000
Related to this plan, a little while ago, Vice Mayor Takahashi had previously requested a first step on the feasibility of painting all bike lanes.

1893
03:47:46,000 --> 03:47:56,000
This is an action item on the city manager tracking list and given that is a roadway safety countermeasure with the aim of improving safety.

1894
03:47:56,000 --> 03:48:00,000
Staff thought this is an appropriate venue to include this as a slide.

1895
03:48:00,000 --> 03:48:06,000
So green bike lanes in general serve to differentiate the space for bicycles.

1896
03:48:06,000 --> 03:48:14,000
Oftentimes, you'll see them at intersections, other times in other cities, you'll see them the full length of a bike lane.

1897
03:48:14,000 --> 03:48:21,000
Although not required, many of our neighboring jurisdictions have have used it.

1898
03:48:21,000 --> 03:48:29,000
One example here is on Sonora Avenue and Glendale, kind of on either side of the underpass.

1899
03:48:29,000 --> 03:48:37,000
And some cities use paint, some cities use thermal plastic, which is essentially just big melted mats that go down.

1900
03:48:37,000 --> 03:48:41,000
The city tends to use thermal plastic on on these projects.

1901
03:48:41,000 --> 03:48:55,000
It's more durable upkeep is less and it's not a slippery when it rains or gets wet, especially when bike lanes are near a gutter or some sort of slope.

1902
03:48:55,000 --> 03:49:03,000
And so for a good so the city tends to use those and those examples are on front street in Hollywood way.

1903
03:49:03,000 --> 03:49:08,000
However here on the Glendale example you can see there are two different colors green.

1904
03:49:08,000 --> 03:49:13,000
This I believe went down in 2017 first it was all the same color.

1905
03:49:13,000 --> 03:49:22,000
Since the advanced portion of it has been left to fade and the city just touched up the edge to make it a little more clear.

1906
03:49:22,000 --> 03:49:27,000
To develop the high level cost estimate of what converting all class two bikeways would be.

1907
03:49:27,000 --> 03:49:33,000
Those are the ones that are on street without any protection vertical delineation.

1908
03:49:33,000 --> 03:49:40,000
It would be an estimate of about $11 million for all of the lanes city wide to be converted.

1909
03:49:40,000 --> 03:49:51,000
About $1 million for just the intersection conflict points and important note is that that doesn't include mobilization efforts that is just for the materials and labor.

1910
03:49:51,000 --> 03:49:55,000
The mobilization of traffic control would be separate from that.

1911
03:49:55,000 --> 03:49:57,000
This is a significant amount.

1912
03:49:57,000 --> 03:50:07,000
And staff believes that funding might be better allocated pursuing other bikeway projects that are ready in the capital and project plan.

1913
03:50:07,000 --> 03:50:12,000
And as well as other already program projects.

1914
03:50:12,000 --> 03:50:20,000
As noted in the data analysis the vast majority of collisions happens at intersections whether it's bikes pedestrians or vehicles.

1915
03:50:20,000 --> 03:50:29,000
So green thermoplastic if it were to be used might be most beneficial at those conflict points at intersections.

1916
03:50:29,000 --> 03:50:32,000
We already have that as I mentioned in a couple of locations.

1917
03:50:32,000 --> 03:50:43,000
But also green conflict striping to skip boxes you see at the intersections is actually included in the countermeasure toolbox in the Saber streets burned by action plan.

1918
03:50:43,000 --> 03:51:01,000
And it's something that can be considered if one of the project corridors has an existing bikeway and if we're going in doing that it can be touched up along the way as part of one of these projects.

1919
03:51:01,000 --> 03:51:03,000
In conclusion.

1920
03:51:03,000 --> 03:51:12,000
The staff's recommendation is to adopt the resolution of proving the Saber streets burned by action plan and to accept to begin its implementation.

1921
03:51:12,000 --> 03:51:17,000
So with that I thank you for your time and attention and I open it up for questions and comments.

1922
03:51:17,000 --> 03:51:18,000
Great.

1923
03:51:18,000 --> 03:51:19,000
Thank you for the presentation.

1924
03:51:19,000 --> 03:51:22,000
We'll move to public comment and we'll get back to you in a minute.

1925
03:51:22,000 --> 03:51:25,000
So public comment period for this report to council is now beginning.

1926
03:51:25,000 --> 03:51:27,000
So no additional cards will be accepted.

1927
03:51:27,000 --> 03:51:30,000
Looks like we have three public comments.

1928
03:51:30,000 --> 03:51:34,000
Could you madam please click.

1929
03:51:34,000 --> 03:51:36,000
Okay, we have a total.

1930
03:51:36,000 --> 03:51:38,000
All right that means three minutes each.

1931
03:51:38,000 --> 03:51:45,000
First up we have Jason Lewis followed by Emilia de Oliveira.

1932
03:51:45,000 --> 03:51:48,000
I didn't get that right apologize for portraying your name.

1933
03:51:48,000 --> 03:51:49,000
Welcome Mr. Lewis.

1934
03:51:49,000 --> 03:51:54,000
You have three minutes.

1935
03:51:54,000 --> 03:51:55,000
Good evening again.

1936
03:51:55,000 --> 03:51:57,000
Vice Mayor council members.

1937
03:51:57,000 --> 03:51:58,000
Staff and audience.

1938
03:51:58,000 --> 03:52:00,000
I return to the podium again.

1939
03:52:00,000 --> 03:52:01,000
Private citizen.

1940
03:52:01,000 --> 03:52:02,000
Jason Lewis.

1941
03:52:02,000 --> 03:52:05,000
This time to ring my support for the adoption of the resolution.

1942
03:52:05,000 --> 03:52:06,000
For the safer streets.

1943
03:52:06,000 --> 03:52:07,000
Perfect action plan.

1944
03:52:07,000 --> 03:52:08,000
I want to commend staff.

1945
03:52:08,000 --> 03:52:12,000
They've put together a great report based on data research and collaborative feedback.

1946
03:52:12,000 --> 03:52:16,000
As you mentioned, council member Mullins school starts tomorrow.

1947
03:52:16,000 --> 03:52:19,000
And safety's paramount getting our kids to school every day.

1948
03:52:19,000 --> 03:52:20,000
I'll be out there walking.

1949
03:52:20,000 --> 03:52:21,000
One of my kids to school.

1950
03:52:21,000 --> 03:52:23,000
I'll be along all of Avenue at 9.30 a.m.

1951
03:52:23,000 --> 03:52:24,000
Like I'm every morning.

1952
03:52:24,000 --> 03:52:27,000
When I walk my kids to school, like I've done for years.

1953
03:52:27,000 --> 03:52:29,000
Other parents are going to bike their kids.

1954
03:52:29,000 --> 03:52:33,000
And by the way, that makes it easier for the parents who have to drive, who come from miles away.

1955
03:52:33,000 --> 03:52:35,000
I want it to work for every family.

1956
03:52:35,000 --> 03:52:39,000
And speaking of bikes, the summer riding bikes was my youngest favorite way to get to parks and recreation

1957
03:52:39,000 --> 03:52:41,000
teen days summer camp at Verdugo.

1958
03:52:41,000 --> 03:52:43,000
We were able to use the bike racks all summer.

1959
03:52:43,000 --> 03:52:46,000
And I was able to let my oldest who's an upcoming freshman at Burroughs.

1960
03:52:46,000 --> 03:52:47,000
Go Bears.

1961
03:52:47,000 --> 03:52:49,000
To bike over and get his brother.

1962
03:52:49,000 --> 03:52:51,000
I'm going to drive home tonight.

1963
03:52:51,000 --> 03:52:55,000
I landed Sunday at Burbank Airport from finishing a 50 mile race to Mount Hood.

1964
03:52:55,000 --> 03:52:59,000
I do my weekday training, weekday training, here in the streets of Burbank.

1965
03:52:59,000 --> 03:53:03,000
I'll be taking the Burbank bus to the Metro B line on Thursday to get to my downtown L.A. office.

1966
03:53:03,000 --> 03:53:05,000
I get around the city and believe it or not.

1967
03:53:05,000 --> 03:53:07,000
I love driving.

1968
03:53:07,000 --> 03:53:08,000
I'm a valley guy.

1969
03:53:08,000 --> 03:53:09,000
I was born here.

1970
03:53:09,000 --> 03:53:10,000
I went to see Sun.

1971
03:53:10,000 --> 03:53:12,000
I learned to drive in these streets 28 years ago.

1972
03:53:12,000 --> 03:53:14,000
But I hate commuting.

1973
03:53:14,000 --> 03:53:15,000
I hate traffic.

1974
03:53:15,000 --> 03:53:17,000
And I'd like to not contribute to it.

1975
03:53:17,000 --> 03:53:20,000
We all want to get to where we're going safely and as efficiently as possible.

1976
03:53:20,000 --> 03:53:23,000
The more we can do to keep traffic flowing for everybody,

1977
03:53:23,000 --> 03:53:26,000
the better our city will move for everyone.

1978
03:53:26,000 --> 03:53:31,000
This plan incorporates ideas from across city departments and encourage the adoption of this plan.

1979
03:53:31,000 --> 03:53:37,000
And then we continue to innovate safety for all forms of transportation and ensure that nobody

1980
03:53:37,000 --> 03:53:39,000
nobody dies in our streets.

1981
03:53:39,000 --> 03:53:40,000
Thank you.

1982
03:53:40,000 --> 03:53:42,000
Thank you for your comment.

1983
03:53:42,000 --> 03:53:44,000
Next up is Amelia De Oliveira.

1984
03:53:44,000 --> 03:53:46,000
I followed by David Donahue.

1985
03:53:46,000 --> 03:53:47,000
Welcome you.

1986
03:53:47,000 --> 03:53:49,000
Three minutes and part of me for but showing your name.

1987
03:53:49,000 --> 03:53:51,000
Oh, you were close.

1988
03:53:51,000 --> 03:53:54,000
My name is Amelia De Oliveira.

1989
03:53:54,000 --> 03:53:57,000
I've lived in Burbank, my whole life.

1990
03:53:57,000 --> 03:53:59,000
I was born here, I grew up here.

1991
03:53:59,000 --> 03:54:03,000
And I went to John Barrow's high school.

1992
03:54:03,000 --> 03:54:10,000
And I just recently, so I used to bike to school when I was going there when I was a junior.

1993
03:54:10,000 --> 03:54:16,000
And I had to stop biking after one semester because

1994
03:54:16,000 --> 03:54:21,000
I couldn't bike on the streets because cars would go ration fast.

1995
03:54:21,000 --> 03:54:24,000
And I didn't feel safe riding on the streets.

1996
03:54:24,000 --> 03:54:27,000
So this is an issue that's been important to me for a long time,

1997
03:54:27,000 --> 03:54:32,000
making the streets safer especially for pedestrians and bicyclists.

1998
03:54:32,000 --> 03:54:39,000
And reading this plan made me feel really happy that people were thinking about this issue and

1999
03:54:39,000 --> 03:54:41,000
and hoping to change it.

2000
03:54:41,000 --> 03:54:47,000
I really liked what I was seeing with the plans.

2001
03:54:47,000 --> 03:54:54,000
I read the role of the plans for the individual streets for the priority projects.

2002
03:54:54,000 --> 03:55:03,000
I will say I was hoping that I would see a Magnolia Boulevard as one of the projects because I live on Magnolia Boulevard.

2003
03:55:03,000 --> 03:55:08,000
And I find that that is a street that really could use fixing.

2004
03:55:08,000 --> 03:55:11,000
There's really wide lanes.

2005
03:55:11,000 --> 03:55:13,000
I think there's five lanes.

2006
03:55:13,000 --> 03:55:16,000
So two in either direction and center lane.

2007
03:55:16,000 --> 03:55:20,000
And it's a center for where a lot of people are.

2008
03:55:20,000 --> 03:55:27,000
I mean, I love walking around and getting to just be a part of the community there.

2009
03:55:27,000 --> 03:55:32,000
But sometimes it becomes difficult because there are so many cars rushing past.

2010
03:55:32,000 --> 03:55:35,000
And there are so few crosswalks.

2011
03:55:35,000 --> 03:55:40,000
I actually used to work on Magnolia Boulevard in one of the pizza, pizza places.

2012
03:55:40,000 --> 03:55:43,000
And I would see probably an average of 15 to 20 people every day.

2013
03:55:43,000 --> 03:55:50,000
Jay walking across the street because they would have to go so far out of the way to get to an actual marked crosswalk.

2014
03:55:50,000 --> 03:55:57,000
From where I worked, you would have, if you were across the street, you would have to go across three crosswalks.

2015
03:55:57,000 --> 03:56:02,000
And two and a half blocks out of your way to get to the other side of the road.

2016
03:56:02,000 --> 03:56:05,000
And people don't want to do that. So people across the legally.

2017
03:56:05,000 --> 03:56:11,000
And then that opens them up to injury, which I've always found very concerning.

2018
03:56:11,000 --> 03:56:17,000
I, overall, just really, really liked what I was seeing here in this plan.

2019
03:56:17,000 --> 03:56:20,000
And I really hope you guys approve it.

2020
03:56:20,000 --> 03:56:28,000
And approve future plans that have somewhere, I guess, in a similar spirit of making the street safer.

2021
03:56:28,000 --> 03:56:34,000
I also would, I'd like to see in more protected by lanes included here.

2022
03:56:34,000 --> 03:56:39,000
But I do love, I do love that they're going to be painted. That makes me feel really safe.

2023
03:56:39,000 --> 03:56:45,000
That have the painted lines, but definitely boyards and including those things in the future, I think is important.

2024
03:56:45,000 --> 03:56:47,000
Okay.

2025
03:56:47,000 --> 03:56:49,000
Thank you for your comment.

2026
03:56:49,000 --> 03:56:51,000
Did it within three minutes? Congratulations.

2027
03:56:51,000 --> 03:56:53,000
Next up is David Donahue.

2028
03:56:53,000 --> 03:56:54,000
And that's my last card.

2029
03:56:54,000 --> 03:56:55,000
Welcome, Mr. Donahue.

2030
03:56:55,000 --> 03:57:04,000
We have another three minutes.

2031
03:57:04,000 --> 03:57:08,000
Good evening, Council David Donahue.

2032
03:57:08,000 --> 03:57:12,000
March 15th, Burbank Police Commission, 2023.

2033
03:57:12,000 --> 03:57:15,000
There was a report given about Vision Zero.

2034
03:57:15,000 --> 03:57:23,000
It was given by the Burbank Police Department to the Commission and it talked about what the city of Los Angeles had

2035
03:57:23,000 --> 03:57:25,000
seen with Vision Zero.

2036
03:57:25,000 --> 03:57:29,000
So again, March 15th, 2023, you can Google it.

2037
03:57:29,000 --> 03:57:31,000
AI, search it, you'll be able to get the link.

2038
03:57:31,000 --> 03:57:39,000
And what the officer presented was the number, the increase of vehicle and pedestrian vehicle and bicycle

2039
03:57:39,000 --> 03:57:43,000
multi-model, how it really went up.

2040
03:57:43,000 --> 03:57:48,000
This is the part of why things important for me to bring this to you.

2041
03:57:48,000 --> 03:57:50,000
It's all great and good.

2042
03:57:50,000 --> 03:57:54,000
The city are talking about zero deaths, zero lowering everything.

2043
03:57:54,000 --> 03:58:01,000
When if you do not look at the data that is out there, the information that's in front of you,

2044
03:58:01,000 --> 03:58:08,000
actual, after programs like this have been put in, you're doing your community of disservice.

2045
03:58:08,000 --> 03:58:11,000
It's very easy to look the information up to say that there was an increase.

2046
03:58:11,000 --> 03:58:15,000
And actually, I believe there increased in major injuries.

2047
03:58:15,000 --> 03:58:22,000
And then increase, if I remember it correctly, and death, is easy to find it out.

2048
03:58:22,000 --> 03:58:30,000
The computer streets, which is a short, small, easy to read, 278 pages.

2049
03:58:30,000 --> 03:58:32,000
Holy, that girl.

2050
03:58:32,000 --> 03:58:34,000
A lot of information.

2051
03:58:34,000 --> 03:58:40,000
I would encourage the city and staff to be able, and I know that the staff is fantastic,

2052
03:58:40,000 --> 03:58:42,000
and I think the problem of the work that they do.

2053
03:58:42,000 --> 03:58:47,000
And I don't know how we could actually make the outreach better and more effective.

2054
03:58:47,000 --> 03:58:52,000
How we could put some sort of information in front of every person in a burdening,

2055
03:58:52,000 --> 03:58:55,000
water, and power, and mail, or putting it out there.

2056
03:58:55,000 --> 03:58:58,000
Because we just know that people don't really react to it.

2057
03:58:58,000 --> 03:59:00,000
On San Fernando Valley is a great example.

2058
03:59:00,000 --> 03:59:04,000
I was on a city walking tour.

2059
03:59:04,000 --> 03:59:09,000
And just because a lot of people had those bright vests on, they were getting heckled.

2060
03:59:09,000 --> 03:59:10,000
The changes on San Fernando.

2061
03:59:10,000 --> 03:59:13,000
Now, this is right after it had happened.

2062
03:59:13,000 --> 03:59:19,000
I haven't heard how the police department has really had feedback on this, but I would encourage

2063
03:59:19,000 --> 03:59:20,000
that too.

2064
03:59:20,000 --> 03:59:23,000
I would love to understand that.

2065
03:59:23,000 --> 03:59:24,000
Collaborative work.

2066
03:59:24,000 --> 03:59:27,000
Again, I go back to, let's just find out what other communities have been doing.

2067
03:59:27,000 --> 03:59:29,000
I think it's been very important.

2068
03:59:29,000 --> 03:59:31,000
I think that there needs to be more enforcement.

2069
03:59:31,000 --> 03:59:37,000
I don't think we write enough tickets for people using the center turn lane as a passing lane

2070
03:59:38,000 --> 03:59:42,000
on Victory or Magnolia or on Burbank Boulevard.

2071
03:59:42,000 --> 03:59:47,000
And I understand that the police department is busy, but when you call and say at this time,

2072
03:59:47,000 --> 03:59:52,000
this vehicle was going 60 miles an hour in a middle turn lane.

2073
03:59:52,000 --> 03:59:55,000
I would hope it would get attention in the future.

2074
03:59:55,000 --> 03:59:56,000
There's a lot of things to do.

2075
03:59:56,000 --> 04:00:00,000
And I know there's a lot of consideration and deliberation that you're going to do on this.

2076
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:04,000
Thank you for your time and your attention this matter. Have a good evening.

2077
04:00:04,000 --> 04:00:11,000
Thank you for your comment. That's the end of our public comment. We now complete a public comment for this report.

2078
04:00:11,000 --> 04:00:15,000
The staff have any responses to the public comment.

2079
04:00:15,000 --> 04:00:27,000
Thank you, Council. Chris Bonamos and your transportation planner.

2080
04:00:27,000 --> 04:00:33,000
To address the second speakers comment about Magnolia.

2081
04:00:33,000 --> 04:00:40,000
Essentially, when staff was developing this, it's looking at the collision data.

2082
04:00:40,000 --> 04:00:45,000
Where do the collisions happen, and then those are where staff focuses.

2083
04:00:45,000 --> 04:00:57,000
The way it worked out Magnolia's data didn't rise to the level to make it into those top 10, or nine, nine corridors in the 11 separate ones.

2084
04:00:57,000 --> 04:01:08,000
Having said that, the three major intersections on Magnolia are included. They just happen to be on the north-south corridors.

2085
04:01:08,000 --> 04:01:15,000
And the comment also about more protected bike lanes.

2086
04:01:15,000 --> 04:01:30,000
That is a project that staff and transportation also are working on, but it is a separate effort that continue in parallel with this.

2087
04:01:30,000 --> 04:01:40,000
For the third speaker, specifically about Los Angeles, there are visions of our plan was adopted 10 years ago.

2088
04:01:40,000 --> 04:01:51,000
Los Angeles is a very different municipality in how they plan and force and sort of implement projects.

2089
04:01:51,000 --> 04:01:58,000
In their jurisdiction, it is massive. They have a lot of people in a lot of very different contexts.

2090
04:01:59,000 --> 04:02:08,000
The benefit for Burbank is the Burbank is smaller, and our internal administrative connective tissue is really strong.

2091
04:02:08,000 --> 04:02:20,000
From the very beginning on this plan, staff worked with the Public Works Department, the Fire Department, the Police Department, Burbank Unified School District, the PIO office,

2092
04:02:21,000 --> 04:02:32,000
for everyone to understand where this plan would be going and to understand how any possible implementation could be bolstered by their groups.

2093
04:02:32,000 --> 04:02:48,000
So that infrastructure was already being laid. Before we got here, this plan lays out very specific corridors, where staff would be proposing the first projects to go.

2094
04:02:48,000 --> 04:02:53,000
As opposed to Los Angeles, the plan was vast.

2095
04:02:53,000 --> 04:03:05,000
I think the other one important thing is since that one was adopted 10 years ago, a lot of state policy and state law has changed.

2096
04:03:05,000 --> 04:03:10,000
That enables the city to do different things now from the very beginning.

2097
04:03:10,000 --> 04:03:23,000
As opposed to the last, you know, three, four years for Los Angeles, they're able to then look into different streamlining laws for types of roadway safety projects.

2098
04:03:23,000 --> 04:03:32,000
Also, for the AP-43, the speed limit setting, they didn't have that as a capability for them.

2099
04:03:33,000 --> 04:03:42,000
Burbank is a bit more nimble and has some more options at the ready to be able to tackle these sorts of projects.

2100
04:03:42,000 --> 04:03:48,000
Great. Thank you for those responses. Council questions. Yes. Council member Anthony.

2101
04:03:48,000 --> 04:03:54,000
I wanted to just follow up on Olivia's question about protected bike lanes.

2102
04:03:54,000 --> 04:03:56,000
For my understanding, Mr. Bruno.

2103
04:03:56,000 --> 04:04:04,000
This plan, this action plan we have in front of us is sort of a quick and easy first step.

2104
04:04:04,000 --> 04:04:16,000
It's paint, it's plastic, it's very simplified techniques that we can offer to the public works department and sort of quick fix.

2105
04:04:16,000 --> 04:04:21,000
A protected bike lane is going to be a level above that.

2106
04:04:21,000 --> 04:04:26,000
Am I not correct in that assumption? Correct. That's the right assumption.

2107
04:04:26,000 --> 04:04:41,000
And that's, I think, a useful way to distinguish between these types of projects, where as a protected bikeway is every inch of half mile to a couple miles, probably.

2108
04:04:41,000 --> 04:04:53,000
It's a ton of coordination. You're dealing with surveying utilities, all kinds of extra different pieces that won't necessarily need to be taken into account.

2109
04:04:53,000 --> 04:05:02,000
If you're just looking at a few intersections along a corridor with paint in plastic, in your staying within the confines of the existing curve and gutter.

2110
04:05:02,000 --> 04:05:08,000
Okay. All right. So to your point, Olivia, pay attention for the future. This may come back.

2111
04:05:08,000 --> 04:05:15,000
The protected bike lane issue. And then to Mr. Donnie, he's question about Los Angeles.

2112
04:05:15,000 --> 04:05:23,000
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when they tried to implement vision zero, they have 15 different council districts.

2113
04:05:23,000 --> 04:05:32,000
I was, I was under the impression that not every council district adopted the same vision zero plan. So it's kind of, it was kind of piecemeal. Is that, is that right?

2114
04:05:32,000 --> 04:05:43,000
And then I believe they had a ballot measure last year for LA City to force the whole city to implement a safer streets plan.

2115
04:05:43,000 --> 04:05:49,000
And even that is being sued by their city attorney. So they're like, for my understanding, it wasn't a uniform adoption.

2116
04:05:49,000 --> 04:05:58,000
Is basically my understanding what happened with this is your own LA. Is any of that true or am I speculating on that? Have you heard anything like that?

2117
04:05:58,000 --> 04:06:05,000
I can't speak for Los Angeles staff on how that went. But there are a much more complex organization.

2118
04:06:05,000 --> 04:06:10,000
Right. Okay. But if we adopted it, it would be uniform city white is basically my point.

2119
04:06:10,000 --> 04:06:16,000
Okay. All right. Because I had heard that there was a lot of issues with them actually implementing it.

2120
04:06:16,000 --> 04:06:27,000
And then they had some districts, undid some of the vision zero programs after they'd been on the ground for a while.

2121
04:06:27,000 --> 04:06:44,000
If we, so you mentioned earlier, and you had it as a separate item, the green painted by claims, to fully paint everything you put a ticket, a dollar sign at 11 million.

2122
04:06:44,000 --> 04:06:51,000
And then there was a lower option for a million dollars if we just did sort of the conflict zone.

2123
04:06:51,000 --> 04:07:10,000
But if we did it case by case and only implemented it when we were either restriping an area or reserving an area, if we did it piecemeal like that, would the cost also come down more.

2124
04:07:10,000 --> 04:07:16,000
If we simply did it as we were improving the streets.

2125
04:07:16,000 --> 04:07:18,000
And I'm talking just the conflicts.

2126
04:07:18,000 --> 04:07:31,000
So, Vice Mayor, Council Member, thank you for the question. Yes, when you look, one of the, one of the facets of this program is to seek opportunities as part of our annual paving program to implement these strategies.

2127
04:07:31,000 --> 04:07:45,000
So, economy of scale, we bring these opportunities in and if there's opportunities where, again, similar to the previous item and the red curve, we see driveways or intersections where we know there's multimodal conflicts and we should paint these.

2128
04:07:45,000 --> 04:07:50,000
Paint these areas green, the bike lanes, maybe the dashed green also.

2129
04:07:50,000 --> 04:07:54,000
We'd certainly be looking with the transportation planners and PD to say this is a good spot to do it.

2130
04:07:54,000 --> 04:08:00,000
Let's get this into our plans and specs of our annual paving projects.

2131
04:08:00,000 --> 04:08:09,000
Okay. Well, so to that point, my colleagues, what I would prefer is to have a very low threshold for these.

2132
04:08:09,000 --> 04:08:17,000
So, a conflict striping for the bike lanes so that if we are improving an area.

2133
04:08:17,000 --> 04:08:24,000
It's easier and cheaper for us to do it rather than try to go back and reserve a or anything like that.

2134
04:08:24,000 --> 04:08:29,000
So, if that's, if you all agree, yeah. Okay. Thank you.

2135
04:08:29,000 --> 04:08:31,000
Thank you. Council Member Molens.

2136
04:08:31,000 --> 04:08:44,000
I have a question regarding Magnolia. You mentioned there's three different intersections on Magnolia. Could you share with us where those are because I'm looking at the report and I can't find the way.

2137
04:08:44,000 --> 04:08:49,000
Absolutely. It is a larger port. So, it is page 35.

2138
04:08:50,000 --> 04:08:58,000
I have a detachment too. Oh, sorry, sorry. It's page 35 of in of the attachment to yes. Okay. Sorry. The main plan.

2139
04:08:58,000 --> 04:09:04,000
We have two attachments plus the report.

2140
04:09:04,000 --> 04:09:06,000
Okay. Got it.

2141
04:09:06,000 --> 04:09:18,000
Yeah. So, this was the map that was up during the presentation. And so the lighter blue kind of thicker lines are the proposed project corridors.

2142
04:09:18,000 --> 04:09:21,000
And you'll see that Hollywood way.

2143
04:09:21,000 --> 04:09:30,000
Win of us to in victory. All of those intersections with Magnolia would be considered.

2144
04:09:30,000 --> 04:09:40,000
And this is where we are working on our this signal light or what are we doing there.

2145
04:09:40,000 --> 04:09:50,000
So, so for the, so these are the project corridors and then if you were to flip a few pages forward, you see what's called the cut sheet.

2146
04:09:50,000 --> 04:09:59,000
And that shows you individual, it's the concept plan for what staff thinks could work at these, at these corridors.

2147
04:09:59,000 --> 04:10:04,000
So, if you were to flip to 32.

2148
04:10:04,000 --> 04:10:11,000
Hollywood. Oh, page 44. Hollywood way. So, like you would see Hollywood way at Magnolia.

2149
04:10:11,000 --> 04:10:17,000
And it shows where the signalized intersections are 44.45.

2150
04:10:17,000 --> 04:10:24,000
It's signalized intersections. The possible improvements are high visibility crosswalks.

2151
04:10:24,000 --> 04:10:27,000
Looking at protected left turns if the infrastructure allows it.

2152
04:10:27,000 --> 04:10:36,000
Curb extensions leading pedestrian intervals. So, what what this does is it shows you the the menu of options at the signalized intersections.

2153
04:10:36,000 --> 04:10:44,000
What's on the table and what could work based on what is in the state and federal guidance for these sorts of treatments.

2154
04:10:44,000 --> 04:10:47,000
Thank you.

2155
04:10:47,000 --> 04:10:57,000
We wanted to go back to Chuck for his earlier comment because I'm still looking for, so you said five million dollars.

2156
04:10:57,000 --> 04:11:02,000
Billion. I wrote down Billion, but I said I could be wrong.

2157
04:11:02,000 --> 04:11:03,000
Can we.

2158
04:11:03,000 --> 04:11:06,000
I can certainly address that.

2159
04:11:06,000 --> 04:11:16,000
Yes, thank that is on that is the what the infrastructure in jobs act allocated for the safer streets for all.

2160
04:11:16,000 --> 04:11:26,000
The federal grant program. So, there's a federal grant program that cities can apply for to get funding for these sorts of plans and these sorts of projects.

2161
04:11:26,000 --> 04:11:32,000
And that was federally allocated funding for cities to go after that.

2162
04:11:32,000 --> 04:11:37,000
That was in June was the funding was the application deadline for that.

2163
04:11:37,000 --> 04:11:45,000
So, we're not applying for that currently. If money is left over for the next round, we would absolutely look into applying for those funds.

2164
04:11:45,000 --> 04:11:54,000
Those funds are just to follow up the infrastructure investment in jobs act of 2021 allocated five billion for the entire country to apply for correct.

2165
04:11:54,000 --> 04:11:59,000
We don't get five billion over five years for the whole.

2166
04:11:59,000 --> 04:12:00,000
So, a billion a year for five year.

2167
04:12:00,000 --> 04:12:01,000
Correct.

2168
04:12:01,000 --> 04:12:02,000
Yes, not locally.

2169
04:12:02,000 --> 04:12:12,000
But we we have not applied or we did not we needed a you need a plan in order to apply for that.

2170
04:12:12,000 --> 04:12:18,000
And then we're here tonight with this so hopefully next time around there's some funding left over that we can that we can look into.

2171
04:12:18,000 --> 04:12:34,000
Okay, since we're talking about money, can you perhaps let us know what has been allocated for this plan for the 11 points or 11 key points that we're looking at.

2172
04:12:34,000 --> 04:12:40,000
So there's an annual allocation of $700,000 and it is measure.

2173
04:12:40,000 --> 04:12:51,000
Or measure our funding and so that's allocated right now and that covers planning and implementation.

2174
04:12:51,000 --> 04:12:58,000
This is a new sort of plan in a new way of working in year one.

2175
04:12:58,000 --> 04:13:00,000
We can't say for certain.

2176
04:13:00,000 --> 04:13:09,000
How many projects we will be able to go after after year one will have a better understanding and then be able to forecast on kind of what we would be looking at for year two year three.

2177
04:13:10,000 --> 04:13:12,000
Thank you.

2178
04:13:12,000 --> 04:13:21,000
Also, when I address Olivia the speaker, thank you for first time I see you here tonight, so thank you for coming.

2179
04:13:21,000 --> 04:13:27,000
I do understand completely your concern, especially on Magnolia.

2180
04:13:27,000 --> 04:13:35,000
That is a street that I frequently walk and I see the the speed and I see the traffic.

2181
04:13:35,000 --> 04:13:45,000
It has traffic but it also has a lot of speed and I think I'm going to address this question to our chief of police.

2182
04:13:45,000 --> 04:14:04,000
And I was wondering, what can we do about maybe more enforcement on that street because especially around six o'clock in the evening or on a Saturday you see lots of people speeding.

2183
04:14:04,000 --> 04:14:09,000
It's wide street so it's just open for violations.

2184
04:14:09,000 --> 04:14:15,000
I know it's not going to be popular for a lot of people but I think I'll hear from you.

2185
04:14:15,000 --> 04:14:19,000
Councilmember Mullins, thank you for the question.

2186
04:14:19,000 --> 04:14:25,000
Exactly what you're doing now I think is appropriate specifically making me aware of it.

2187
04:14:25,000 --> 04:14:33,000
We have 17 square miles and we can't be everywhere at once so we rely on council, city staff.

2188
04:14:33,000 --> 04:14:41,000
Members from the community email or other avenues to get this information and at least have some sense of awareness.

2189
04:14:41,000 --> 04:14:51,000
Just because I'm not aware of it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem so I'll take your concerns specifically that that came up public comment and address that with the traffic.

2190
04:14:51,000 --> 04:14:58,000
If we can't give it some extra love in a sense and address it accordingly.

2191
04:14:58,000 --> 04:15:00,000
Thank you. Appreciate that.

2192
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:13,000
It has been noted, and I knew there would be the right time to bring it up and discuss it, so I appreciate that.

2193
04:15:13,000 --> 04:15:23,000
So my question is, how often will the city re-evaluate the focus network and update priority project locations?

2194
04:15:23,000 --> 04:15:36,000
We have it based on crashes, based on data. We haven't gathered any data since 2022, and these two years, there are there's a gap.

2195
04:15:36,000 --> 04:15:47,000
So we don't have that information, so we're making our own determination and recommendation based on data that has been previously gathered.

2196
04:15:47,000 --> 04:15:57,000
And we're looking also at the time where we have pandemic, people were not driving as much, and then they drove, and then they started, you know, we started noticing more accidents.

2197
04:15:57,000 --> 04:16:07,000
So when would be the next time, if you will, that you would come back and say, okay, we have more data and more information.

2198
04:16:07,000 --> 04:16:18,000
Perhaps some of the recommendations that you're making tonight, when even apply, because we either have more crashes or even less while we're hoping we have less crashes and less fatalities.

2199
04:16:18,000 --> 04:16:23,000
So when with that, when would that time be?

2200
04:16:23,000 --> 04:16:25,000
Thank you, that's a good question.

2201
04:16:26,000 --> 04:16:42,000
So to address, because the first part of it about data being 2018 to 2022, when this project started, that was the latest data we had, started the whole infrastructure of coding,

2202
04:16:42,000 --> 04:16:57,000
geocoding, all the analysis, and then once we were pretty far along, then we got 2023 data, and there is a bit of a lag on it in order to clean it up and kind of processing between police department, public works in ourselves.

2203
04:16:57,000 --> 04:17:09,000
So for the next time that we do update, we will incorporate multiple years that have since laughed into that data analysis.

2204
04:17:09,000 --> 04:17:31,000
And it typically, right now we didn't set an exact date, but it should be about three years before we go back and reanalyze all of the data, because it will then give us time to work on this first set of projects.

2205
04:17:31,000 --> 04:17:54,000
And then once once some of these projects are addressed, installed, we're observing them, then we're able to get more data in, do a whole another data analysis, and then make that list nine again, let's say we do a few of them, we'll backfill with additional ones after that.

2206
04:17:54,000 --> 04:18:21,000
And how long after the installation of some of the recommendations that you have, and I think page 32, 232, how long after are you going to wait before we start recognizing either our success or our concern about what we've done.

2207
04:18:21,000 --> 04:18:34,000
I think staff will start looking at it and observing immediately, it does take some time for anything that goes on the roadway for drivers and pedestrians to get used to what's there.

2208
04:18:34,000 --> 04:18:48,000
So typically, and I may, I don't know, when we work with our public works department on this, you let it settle and then see how it works, but even in those intervening few months while that's happening will be observing.

2209
04:18:48,000 --> 04:19:05,000
About six months, we might start understanding, once we can gather data in understand the difference in some of the traffic patterns and speeds if it has been successful.

2210
04:19:05,000 --> 04:19:18,000
And it also depends, I know, school starts very soon, it also depends on, we tend to do our traffic counts when schools are in session because that is considered the normal traffic pattern.

2211
04:19:18,000 --> 04:19:28,000
So it depends on that, but we'll be observing right away, but then really start thinking about it after four to six months.

2212
04:19:28,000 --> 04:19:47,000
Okay, and I know in the report you mentioned that we have done community outreach and that gives you the impression that our communities fully aware of what we're doing and my question is when was that.

2213
04:19:47,000 --> 04:20:02,000
What feedback did you receive from the community and the third question would be, what are they fully aware of what we're doing, we're all these different.

2214
04:20:02,000 --> 04:20:20,000
We have the priority pictures list of things that we were doing where they completely aware of this and what we're doing on each of the intersection and each one of these streets as in like starting with attachment to.

2215
04:20:20,000 --> 04:20:33,000
3837 all the way to the last street that you have here did they actually see this did they actually ask questions and I want to know what their feedback was.

2216
04:20:33,000 --> 04:20:47,000
So there was a three month period for the online portal that was open where people took surveys and this was us asking them information on their.

2217
04:20:47,000 --> 04:21:00,000
concerns sensitivities or desires for what they want to see on the roadways and burbing that also had the opportunity that was the survey component there was also a.

2218
04:21:00,000 --> 04:21:15,000
a map where they could drop pins and write a comment for what they see what they would like there those results are included in technical summary be.

2219
04:21:15,000 --> 04:21:30,000
In the appendix and at that point in time at the tip kind of at the tail end of that attachment is the appendix technical summary be if you flip to page 77.

2220
04:21:30,000 --> 04:21:50,000
And so at the tail end of that there's an in person community workshop at going to Mr. Branch library and the focus network map was presented the options of what could be.

2221
04:21:50,000 --> 04:22:03,000
And so that's all the types of countermeasures in the countermeasure toolbox were included at that point in time because the community engagement hadn't hadn't fully finished.

2222
04:22:03,000 --> 04:22:21,000
staff hadn't developed these project cut sheets that kind of paired all of it together dancing components of it, but the countermeasure are the cut sheets were included as part of this plan.

2223
04:22:21,000 --> 04:22:32,000
Okay, so a lot of a lot of these projects and or recommendations would come as a surprise to some individuals because.

2224
04:22:32,000 --> 04:22:47,000
all of a sudden they'll see a change whether it's around about on six street or nearing if the street on Ben Owen or some additional signal.

2225
04:22:47,000 --> 04:23:13,000
I think I may be very clear to the reason I'm asking these questions having gone through the experience of olive above Glen Oaks and narrowing olive and waking up in the morning even though we did community outreach.

2226
04:23:13,000 --> 04:23:25,000
But we all knew the we all found out quickly the reaction of the residents or people that drove on all of it was a very negative reaction and we all heard about it.

2227
04:23:25,000 --> 04:23:32,000
including of course staff Mr. Kriske answered God 1000 emails plus.

2228
04:23:32,000 --> 04:23:42,000
And so I am trying to look at ways to prevent this from happening again in the future.

2229
04:23:42,000 --> 04:23:54,000
We may not be able to prevent it 100% but I think doing our outreach job and and knowing if there's some major.

2230
04:23:54,000 --> 04:24:12,000
alteration to the streets that we need somehow to find a way where either one is brought to counsel for discussion or to somehow an outreach would be done in that neighborhood or residential area.

2231
04:24:12,000 --> 04:24:36,000
I'm not talking about changing a sign for saying no you turn on board of a stop it's it's fine it's given but I'm talking about major alteration and one of the the streets that you have on here is van Owen which we're recommending from what I see in this list is to narrow the street.

2232
04:24:36,000 --> 04:25:01,000
We do traffic so I honestly don't know what narrowing the lanes will do whether it creates more traffic given that we're putting almost 800 units in that area where prices so I don't know the impact on then Owen that is going to have narrowing the lanes in the impact of traffic.

2233
04:25:01,000 --> 04:25:29,000
So how do we address that how do we educate the community how do we make sure that people are aware here's what we're doing again not minor things because I think we do need these things that you're recommending in here left turn right turn whatever we are going to get used to it but I'm talking about major change from a normal driving every day and all of a sudden you know what's going on here.

2234
04:25:29,000 --> 04:25:47,000
Absolutely so I think your thank you for the question I think the part of the question where you mentioned you know signage minor striping things that people really have too big of an issue with.

2235
04:25:47,000 --> 04:26:01,000
Many of those components are what really kind of the meat of what we're looking at the way that this would work is that they would then sort of be layered as you go to increase alertness.

2236
04:26:01,000 --> 04:26:12,000
Make sure that drivers know where the major conflict points are whether that's improving with a continental crosswalk instead of the standard crosswalk.

2237
04:26:12,000 --> 04:26:22,000
Or improving visibility with signage or the reflective back plates on a signal those sorts of things as you mentioned.

2238
04:26:22,000 --> 04:26:39,000
We shouldn't be too much of a disturbance for the traffic circles absolutely that is something new that is something that our city has in dealt with there would be education around those.

2239
04:26:39,000 --> 04:26:56,000
Those treatments and those specific locations that those are only proposed on projects that are further down on our on our prior list so that that is kind of in order of how we would prioritize these.

2240
04:26:56,000 --> 04:27:13,000
So it would give us time to then do the education with that neighborhood and really make clear how it works how it might affect travel what the goals are and kind of what the drawbacks are there are examples of other cities.

2241
04:27:13,000 --> 04:27:23,000
About our size that have done these sorts of things especially with around about some traffic circles in very specific locations where it's only it's only.

2242
04:27:23,000 --> 04:27:43,000
Two lane roads in each direction and not on major arterial so they're specifically proposed at those locations as to not be a major disturbance on an arterial but we totally understand that if you live near it it'll be it'll be different.

2243
04:27:43,000 --> 04:27:58,000
So by having those kind of assigned to the ones on a lower on the prior priority list that would give staff time to work on public engagement educate the neighborhood around how that would work.

2244
04:27:58,000 --> 04:28:12,000
Action item four is all about continued public engagement and that would be part of our public engagement plan for how we go forward and communicate these different sorts of treatments that people might not be used to.

2245
04:28:12,000 --> 04:28:33,000
And just to add on to what Mr. Ramos said David Criskey assistant community developer director so this is a good conversation for this item now because we do need input from the city council on the types of things you're concerned about versus the types of things that maybe you're okay with not to big part of kind of finding the line between.

2246
04:28:33,000 --> 04:28:48,000
The improvements that we can do quickly and nimbly and not do so much outreach versus the ones that maybe that's a little bit too much of a reach and so we want some outreach or a more measured approach when we implement it probably the traffic circle.

2247
04:28:48,000 --> 04:28:59,000
So that's what we would like to get input from tonight when you consider this plan is the parameters that were allowed to operate in because we do want to we understand the outreach is important.

2248
04:28:59,000 --> 04:29:20,000
But vision zero and safer streets it's a new way of thinking because we also want to be nimble and to be able to put this out much faster than your typical capital project and then evaluate the best evaluation will be the data that we get as a follow up to the council members earlier coming about how we measure success.

2249
04:29:20,000 --> 04:29:35,000
We will hamstring ourselves if we have to be bogged down in a lot of more traditional planning but if there are things that you need us to do traditional planning for you need to tell us so we can either pull it out of the plan or caveat it so we would like to get that input.

2250
04:29:35,000 --> 04:29:53,000
This also we believe strikes a balance between what we think we can as an organization do quickly and nimbly we have been very mindful of what we think community members might react to with different things there are treatments that are not in this plan because we thought you know that's just too far.

2251
04:29:53,000 --> 04:30:00,000
Lane reductions I don't think lane reductions are in the context of this type of plan because we want to be quick.

2252
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:05,000
And if you're going to do a lane reduction, that's a whole other project. So lane reductions aren't in the plan.

2253
04:30:05,000 --> 04:30:17,000
There's some other things that are far farther reaching that are not in the plan because of those concerns. But please, yes, the council should, if they can, provide input on elements that you want to see more outreach on.

2254
04:30:17,000 --> 04:30:26,000
And then also give us idea about the things, you know what? You know, a left, you know, a left-turn arrow that shows up that was a protected permissive, and now it's a red arrow, we're okay to try that.

2255
04:30:26,000 --> 04:30:34,000
A painted curb extension with ballers in a commercial area, not in front of somebody's house, but in a commercial area, we're okay with that.

2256
04:30:34,000 --> 04:30:45,000
Traffic circle? No, that's a whole other ball of wax. What's pull that back? That's what the input we'd like to see from you before we consider adopting this.

2257
04:30:45,000 --> 04:30:55,000
Thank you. And this, for that reason, I'm asking staff, because we've all lived through what happened on all of, even though it was,

2258
04:30:55,000 --> 04:31:06,000
it was the city's way of, of course, slowing down traffic, making sure people are safe, but we saw how the reaction.

2259
04:31:06,000 --> 04:31:22,000
And, you know, it's very much appreciated that the action that was taken to monitor for six months, get feedback, and then provide, make a correction. And I think I haven't received any emails lately, unless any of you have.

2260
04:31:22,000 --> 04:31:42,000
So, I think we consider that to be, you know, a success. And, and those are the type, for me personally, the type of project that is going to alter the way, completely alter the way that people are driving now in all of a sudden, there's a circle in the middle of sixth street.

2261
04:31:42,000 --> 04:31:49,000
Where is this come from? The behavior and the thought of driving straight and all of a sudden, what am I supposed to do with this now?

2262
04:31:50,000 --> 04:32:18,000
Naring the lanes on Veno and again, that's, that's even though it might not have a huge impact, but again, it does mentally, because we've noticed a lot of people, if they're driving close, it's all of behavior as we know, driving, you know, people are distracted with many things, you know, their hands or phones or, you know, even though they're not supposed to do it, but they can stop all of a sudden, and there's no room to go on this on the left,

2263
04:32:18,000 --> 04:32:25,000
on the left or the right before they hit the car and front of them. So, how is that going to, the behavior is going to be altered?

2264
04:32:25,000 --> 04:32:42,000
And those are the type of projects that I, I'm looking for personally to make sure that we are notifying the public, that we do our due diligence to let them know, there's a change in behavior and we expect, you know, we want to let you know in advance.

2265
04:32:42,000 --> 04:32:52,000
So, that's another good conversation to have for Veno and, because it's another example of an iteration where we started at a higher bar and kind of brought ourselves back down to Earth.

2266
04:32:52,000 --> 04:32:57,000
So, there was a thought to actually do the Veno and project as a lane reduction.

2267
04:32:57,000 --> 04:33:10,000
The volumes are very low, speeds are very high, there is new development coming, we think a lane, a single lane, each direction could address that, but that's probably beyond the scope of what we're trying to do to be nimble.

2268
04:33:10,000 --> 04:33:14,000
So, we brought it back, we said, no, instead we could look at lane narrowing.

2269
04:33:14,000 --> 04:33:20,000
Number of travel lanes remains the same, it's just you're taking a foot or two from each one and then applying it to narrow the street.

2270
04:33:20,000 --> 04:33:26,000
And in this case, add bicycle lanes in the, in the remaining space. We've been doing that in Burbank for many years.

2271
04:33:26,000 --> 04:33:34,000
All of our bike lanes on our materials today, that's how we got there. We took wider lanes and we took nibbled a foot or two away and then did it.

2272
04:33:34,000 --> 04:33:42,000
Staff's opinion is that level of improvement is not going to be something that's going to be disruptive to the motorist, but we're just staff.

2273
04:33:42,000 --> 04:33:46,000
The council could provide input on that situation.

2274
04:33:46,000 --> 04:33:52,000
Maybe a long corridor like that, you want us to, or it's like a long stretch of striping for blocks and blocks and blocks.

2275
04:33:52,000 --> 04:34:00,000
Maybe you think that also should be kind of out of the category, where really the meat and potatoes of this is looking yes at corridors,

2276
04:34:00,000 --> 04:34:10,000
but specific intersections along corridors and groupings. I feel like maybe that's a little less intense than a full blasting of the striping.

2277
04:34:10,000 --> 04:34:16,000
So that's another thing the city council could provide input on, but it's an example of where we went. We started high.

2278
04:34:16,000 --> 04:34:26,000
We kind of tempered what pure analysis and engineering might say, but brought it back to be what's the practical realities of how the public and the council might react.

2279
04:34:26,000 --> 04:34:32,000
So we brought it back and maybe we need to bring it back some more. So that's another example of how this is working.

2280
04:34:32,000 --> 04:34:37,000
I'm going to hold back because I think I had enough questions, but I do have.

2281
04:34:37,000 --> 04:34:43,000
I mean, I can sit here and ask more, but I'm going to allow you guys to jump in.

2282
04:34:43,000 --> 04:34:44,000
Okay.

2283
04:34:44,000 --> 04:34:45,000
Councilmember Zaddy.

2284
04:34:45,000 --> 04:34:48,000
Thank you, Madam Vice Mayor.

2285
04:34:49,000 --> 04:34:53,000
Just a couple of cobbins and questions.

2286
04:34:53,000 --> 04:34:56,000
Mr. Donna Hughes point about.

2287
04:34:56,000 --> 04:35:04,000
It's actually a pet peeve of mine are the right shares and the delivery trucks and the hammers on guys that just stop.

2288
04:35:04,000 --> 04:35:07,000
They're vehicle. They don't pull over and there's a place to pull over.

2289
04:35:07,000 --> 04:35:13,000
They just stop and that's when all safety goes out the window because you got people trying to get around them.

2290
04:35:13,000 --> 04:35:23,000
Can't see pedestrians. Personally, I would like to see those fines doubled on people that double park like that.

2291
04:35:23,000 --> 04:35:31,000
I think that creates a very unsafe environment and I see it all the time throughout the city.

2292
04:35:31,000 --> 04:35:37,000
And then the speaker regarding megnolia, I'm not sure where you live on megnolia.

2293
04:35:37,000 --> 04:35:44,000
But the commercial corridor, especially the high frequent areas, California, the Hollywood way.

2294
04:35:44,000 --> 04:35:51,000
We added the council added a crosswalk in a signal not that long ago, five or eight years ago.

2295
04:35:51,000 --> 04:36:00,000
And that was clearly because there was just such a high volume of people and traffic.

2296
04:36:00,000 --> 04:36:08,000
I would ask my council members that we incorporate into this plan.

2297
04:36:08,000 --> 04:36:10,000
The question is safety.

2298
04:36:10,000 --> 04:36:14,000
It's not really mentioned in here much.

2299
04:36:14,000 --> 04:36:23,000
There's logos about bikes and pedestrians and wheelchairs, but not a question.

2300
04:36:23,000 --> 04:36:27,000
Legally, they can write a horse in the question community in Burbank.

2301
04:36:27,000 --> 04:36:29,000
So I think that has to be looked at.

2302
04:36:29,000 --> 04:36:41,000
This body voted year or two ago to put in the master plan of finishing the question in trail.

2303
04:36:41,000 --> 04:36:43,000
The bridal trail is right now.

2304
04:36:43,000 --> 04:36:46,000
There's a partial trail in Riverside Drive.

2305
04:36:46,000 --> 04:36:51,000
I think that should be finished to Riverside down to Mariposa.

2306
04:36:51,000 --> 04:36:57,000
And the reason why is there's certain segments of the question in people that say,

2307
04:36:57,000 --> 04:36:59,000
Well, we have a perimeter trail.

2308
04:36:59,000 --> 04:37:05,000
Yeah, you do have the perimeter trail if you live south of Riverside Drive.

2309
04:37:05,000 --> 04:37:11,000
But people on the east part of the Rancho and the west part of the Rancho, they're trying to get south.

2310
04:37:11,000 --> 04:37:17,000
That would connect their neighborhoods, almost like the Chandler Bike Bath connected neighborhoods.

2311
04:37:17,000 --> 04:37:18,000
So with the trail.

2312
04:37:18,000 --> 04:37:22,000
So there's no way to go from east to west safely.

2313
04:37:22,000 --> 04:37:28,000
So I think that needs to be implemented into this if council agrees.

2314
04:37:28,000 --> 04:37:38,000
And then I want to go through some of these cut sheets if you allow me to.

2315
04:37:38,000 --> 04:37:40,000
We've got time.

2316
04:37:40,000 --> 04:37:41,000
Do you do it?

2317
04:37:41,000 --> 04:37:42,000
Questions or you're going to.

2318
04:37:42,000 --> 04:37:43,000
Questions?

2319
04:37:43,000 --> 04:37:44,000
Yeah.

2320
04:37:44,000 --> 04:37:45,000
And then we can deliberate, right?

2321
04:37:45,000 --> 04:37:46,000
All right.

2322
04:38:02,000 --> 04:38:07,000
So on the one on Alameda Avenue, where says extend the median.

2323
04:38:07,000 --> 04:38:11,000
Give me an idea what exactly where that location is.

2324
04:38:11,000 --> 04:38:14,000
I'm looking at the map, but it's a little fuzzy.

2325
04:38:14,000 --> 04:38:18,000
It's hard to read.

2326
04:38:18,000 --> 04:38:24,000
It's on 2-43 on the cut sheet.

2327
04:38:24,000 --> 04:38:25,000
Oh.

2328
04:38:25,000 --> 04:38:26,000
Yes.

2329
04:38:26,000 --> 04:38:37,000
So the specific location for that is if you're coming from lake going under under the fire under the five.

2330
04:38:37,000 --> 04:38:42,000
Then you go under the tracks and you come up and.

2331
04:38:42,000 --> 04:38:46,000
You kind of the back set if I key is on your left and there's strip commercial on your right.

2332
04:38:46,000 --> 04:38:47,000
Got it.

2333
04:38:47,000 --> 04:38:50,000
There's a bunch of really.

2334
04:38:50,000 --> 04:38:55,000
Weird driveways that come out to a front to drone and it's not very clear clarifying that.

2335
04:38:55,000 --> 04:38:56,000
Got it.

2336
04:38:56,000 --> 04:38:57,000
Yes.

2337
04:38:57,000 --> 04:39:00,000
And then on 2-45 Hollywood way.

2338
04:39:00,000 --> 04:39:10,000
Close the right turn lane from Cordova street to restrict left turns on the Hollywood way to simplify.

2339
04:39:10,000 --> 04:39:18,000
Is that the little road near Dino's pizza exactly and.

2340
04:39:18,000 --> 04:39:21,000
It's like a little child or at least go right.

2341
04:39:21,000 --> 04:39:24,000
So it currently can go right.

2342
04:39:24,000 --> 04:39:25,000
Right.

2343
04:39:25,000 --> 04:39:31,000
Where it so it comes to a point at the intersection and it makes a multi-legged intersection there.

2344
04:39:31,000 --> 04:39:32,000
Right.

2345
04:39:32,000 --> 04:39:37,000
There's a bailout for a card to make a left alone and make a right on and access that.

2346
04:39:37,000 --> 04:39:38,000
So cut that off.

2347
04:39:38,000 --> 04:39:39,000
Yes.

2348
04:39:39,000 --> 04:39:40,000
And then just only go right.

2349
04:39:40,000 --> 04:39:41,000
Correct.

2350
04:39:41,000 --> 04:39:42,000
Got it.

2351
04:39:42,000 --> 04:39:43,000
Okay.

2352
04:39:43,000 --> 04:39:44,000
Perfect.

2353
04:39:44,000 --> 04:39:45,000
I just want to make sure.

2354
04:39:45,000 --> 04:39:46,000
Correct.

2355
04:39:46,000 --> 04:39:47,000
Sorry.

2356
04:39:47,000 --> 04:39:48,000
Sorry.

2357
04:39:48,000 --> 04:39:49,000
Sorry.

2358
04:39:49,000 --> 04:39:50,000
Sorry.

2359
04:39:50,000 --> 04:39:51,000
I mixed up what you were saying.

2360
04:39:51,000 --> 04:39:55,000
It would be closing the right only and having the cargo left so that.

2361
04:39:55,000 --> 04:39:56,000
It.

2362
04:39:56,000 --> 04:40:00,000
It makes that merge happen before the the intersection actually exists.

2363
04:40:00,000 --> 04:40:02,000
So it forces you on a Hollywood way.

2364
04:40:02,000 --> 04:40:05,000
On the Hollywood way first and then you would make the right there.

2365
04:40:05,000 --> 04:40:08,000
Making a left.

2366
04:40:08,000 --> 04:40:10,000
Going against traffic.

2367
04:40:10,000 --> 04:40:13,000
No, you basically merge into Hollywood way northbound.

2368
04:40:13,000 --> 04:40:14,000
Got it.

2369
04:40:14,000 --> 04:40:16,000
And then you have to make the turn at the signal.

2370
04:40:16,000 --> 04:40:17,000
Okay.

2371
04:40:17,000 --> 04:40:18,000
Two right.

2372
04:40:18,000 --> 04:40:19,000
Perfect.

2373
04:40:19,000 --> 04:40:20,000
Okay.

2374
04:40:20,000 --> 04:40:23,000
It avoids two lanes coming together right at the intersection.

2375
04:40:23,000 --> 04:40:24,000
Got it.

2376
04:40:24,000 --> 04:40:25,000
Okay.

2377
04:40:25,000 --> 04:40:27,000
Um.

2378
04:40:27,000 --> 04:40:28,000
Van, no one.

2379
04:40:28,000 --> 04:40:30,000
We talked about.

2380
04:40:30,000 --> 04:40:32,000
There.

2381
04:40:32,000 --> 04:40:35,000
Are you okay with.

2382
04:40:35,000 --> 04:40:36,000
No one.

2383
04:40:36,000 --> 04:40:37,000
I mean, I know.

2384
04:40:37,000 --> 04:40:38,000
But.

2385
04:40:38,000 --> 04:40:39,000
The direction to make sure.

2386
04:40:39,000 --> 04:40:44,000
Originally especially with seniors, you know, when you start crying lanes.

2387
04:40:44,000 --> 04:40:49,000
Mixed people nervous, you know, there's not everyone's a great driver.

2388
04:40:49,000 --> 04:40:52,000
And I think response times.

2389
04:40:52,000 --> 04:40:54,000
If you had a little bit of a room.

2390
04:40:54,000 --> 04:40:55,000
You can respond a lot better.

2391
04:40:55,000 --> 04:40:57,000
If you feel.

2392
04:40:57,000 --> 04:40:58,000
Crunch.

2393
04:40:58,000 --> 04:41:00,000
So I'm not sure where the data comes in.

2394
04:41:00,000 --> 04:41:07,000
that idea, but I also agree that we're going to add 800 homes there.

2395
04:41:07,000 --> 04:41:14,080
So I think we should at least wait and see what that's going to do before we do any implementation.

2396
04:41:14,080 --> 04:41:18,920
So for Van Owen, all of those are valid, and I totally understand that.

2397
04:41:18,920 --> 04:41:24,080
What we're trying to address is that the speed is posted at 40, so it's already high.

2398
04:41:24,080 --> 04:41:28,600
I remember the days in Burbank when it was nothing over 35, so that's a 40.

2399
04:41:28,600 --> 04:41:34,040
So prevailing speeds we've measured out there are 48 to 52, so we're trying to address

2400
04:41:34,040 --> 04:41:38,760
speeding and then coming into point of vista.

2401
04:41:38,760 --> 04:41:45,360
But also, you know, being mindful of the tools that we think we can do without too much

2402
04:41:45,360 --> 04:41:46,360
consternation.

2403
04:41:46,360 --> 04:41:54,040
So if we think we can narrow the lanes, look at speed limit of policy, which we didn't

2404
04:41:54,040 --> 04:41:57,960
touch on too much, but with AB 43 and some of the other tools, one of the implementation

2405
04:41:57,960 --> 04:42:03,680
actions items here is to use those tools in certain locations, and this is potentially

2406
04:42:03,680 --> 04:42:04,680
one of them.

2407
04:42:04,680 --> 04:42:09,320
We're trying to address the speeding, which here is really seem to be really high.

2408
04:42:09,320 --> 04:42:14,520
And I was going to ask the question, can we drop the speed limit from 40?

2409
04:42:14,520 --> 04:42:19,000
Can we make it 35, are we allowed to do that?

2410
04:42:19,000 --> 04:42:27,160
So we have if the plan, if this plan is adopted, there is a first kind of a first really action

2411
04:42:27,160 --> 04:42:31,920
that we'd like to do our already starting to work on it, is to look at AB 43 and all the

2412
04:42:31,920 --> 04:42:37,760
nuances of the speed limit reforms that have come out recently and look at how that applies

2413
04:42:37,760 --> 04:42:43,360
to Burbank and sort of again ask the community in the council, do you want it to use some

2414
04:42:43,360 --> 04:42:48,280
of those tools in targeted areas where we now have the legal right to adjust the speed limits

2415
04:42:48,280 --> 04:42:51,480
to look at certain places.

2416
04:42:51,480 --> 04:42:54,600
One of the ideas we're throwing out is looking at all the forties.

2417
04:42:54,600 --> 04:43:01,360
Just seeing, can we legally now through engineering and new tools that we have eliminate

2418
04:43:01,360 --> 04:43:02,360
that?

2419
04:43:02,360 --> 04:43:07,520
So we have a couple of high-level things we want to chat with you about, and then we have some

2420
04:43:07,520 --> 04:43:13,160
other targeted policies with AB 43 to discuss with you.

2421
04:43:13,160 --> 04:43:15,360
So again, we've started out a little bit.

2422
04:43:15,360 --> 04:43:21,400
This plan would give us the permission to do that more directly and specifically to bring

2423
04:43:21,400 --> 04:43:26,800
in our police colleagues because the speed limits only work when they can be enforced.

2424
04:43:26,800 --> 04:43:30,440
So we want to make sure we're not setting ourselves up for failure with that.

2425
04:43:30,440 --> 04:43:35,720
But yes, that would be part of this plan that we would like to do going forward.

2426
04:43:35,720 --> 04:43:41,440
Okay, and then we're going to cut you the last one.

2427
04:43:41,440 --> 04:43:46,560
Give me the visual on 2-53 on Monterey.

2428
04:43:46,560 --> 04:43:52,680
We're exactly, and just real quick, while you're pulling that up for following at home or

2429
04:43:52,680 --> 04:43:57,640
if you're new, if you go online to the Birmingham website and you look up meetings and agendas,

2430
04:43:57,640 --> 04:44:01,840
you can pull up the whole 150 page report and follow along.

2431
04:44:01,840 --> 04:44:03,840
Thank you.

2432
04:44:03,840 --> 04:44:04,840
Correct.

2433
04:44:04,840 --> 04:44:11,280
Monterey is the one of the access roads that goes around the perimeter at Fickroy Park.

2434
04:44:11,280 --> 04:44:12,280
Yeah.

2435
04:44:12,280 --> 04:44:22,240
Oh, so it's the triangle shape that come together and then it is a similar to the Dino's

2436
04:44:22,240 --> 04:44:23,240
pizza corner.

2437
04:44:23,240 --> 04:44:31,120
It's an auto lineman where you're coming into an arterial from Monterey to Victory.

2438
04:44:31,120 --> 04:44:34,320
It's a bit of a bit of a vice versa.

2439
04:44:34,320 --> 04:44:35,320
The opposite way.

2440
04:44:35,320 --> 04:44:41,520
In both directions, so let's say you're making a left in, you're making a left across three

2441
04:44:41,520 --> 04:44:48,080
lanes and then navigating a spot where two lanes are coming together or if you're coming

2442
04:44:48,080 --> 04:44:53,320
out of the park and you want to make a left across, you're in an odd angle.

2443
04:44:53,320 --> 04:44:59,440
And so what's that based on kind of the, based on what we're looking at there.

2444
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:06,000
For people accessing the part, simplifying that movement to improve safety, though.

2445
04:45:06,000 --> 04:45:12,000
I think giving the idea of simplifying. What are we doing?

2446
04:45:12,000 --> 04:45:22,000
Sorry, thank you. We would be making it right out right in only so that you wouldn't be able to make that letter turn correct.

2447
04:45:22,000 --> 04:45:24,000
That's with the hard obstacle.

2448
04:45:24,000 --> 04:45:32,000
No, it would be with signage. We are limited based on our conversations with other departments.

2449
04:45:32,000 --> 04:45:46,000
Mr. Christky said, we sort of started up here and then as we talked and kind of understood every department's sensitivities around impediments in the roadway.

2450
04:45:46,000 --> 04:45:54,000
We decided that signage to make clear that you can't go in there would be the best. We could also touch up paint.

2451
04:45:54,000 --> 04:46:02,000
But there wouldn't be a hard barrier in the middle of the arterial there.

2452
04:46:02,000 --> 04:46:14,000
Okay, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Can I ask? I have seen sort of rounded bulbs that can be driven over, but are not easy to drive over.

2453
04:46:14,000 --> 04:46:22,000
And I know putting an actual barrier in the way is tough, but like when we're talking about public works or or police or fire and moving through the streets, is that an option?

2454
04:46:22,000 --> 04:46:38,000
We looked at that to sort of prevent those left turns that we're trying to, so it can be possible, but it's kind of difficult for the average car, but we can do it. Like I don't know if that's the option.

2455
04:46:39,000 --> 04:46:46,000
So yet we've done some medium physical barriers and I agree with you that the signs and pain are good, but the physical barriers are always better.

2456
04:46:46,000 --> 04:46:58,000
We've done a few barriers with the case 71 flex posts around the target on Hollywood Way. We did it for raising canes, so we are open to that.

2457
04:46:58,000 --> 04:47:04,000
And we could get some feedback from you on to whether you think that's something to pursue.

2458
04:47:04,000 --> 04:47:19,000
The reason why it wasn't directly in the immediate we're just going to go out and do it is because the fire department does want to make sure that if we put too many of these in strategic locations where they are responding a lot that they want to look at it.

2459
04:47:19,000 --> 04:47:29,000
The Hollywood Way one by the target really works for traffic. It's really kind of helped reduce that those lefts and would actually be great to fortify it even more.

2460
04:47:29,000 --> 04:47:43,000
But fire on that one specifically said that during peak hour when the traffic is backed up at Magnolia and they have a response because they have to either use the turn lane to get around traffic or kind of they want to use the turn lane to get around the traffic.

2461
04:47:43,000 --> 04:47:54,000
If there's a median they have to go into the wrong way, which they can, but it just introduced a little more risk. So they wanted us to pull back on the median treatments because they would want to look at that.

2462
04:47:54,000 --> 04:47:57,000
So by the only comment is I'm open to it.

2463
04:47:57,000 --> 04:47:59,000
So if it makes sense and everyone's happy with it.

2464
04:47:59,000 --> 04:48:04,000
I mean, I've even seen sort of like tiny little speed bumps in certain areas.

2465
04:48:04,000 --> 04:48:17,000
Like stuff that a fire engine can handle at a moderate speed that the average driver is not going to jump out and still what concern of theirs.

2466
04:48:17,000 --> 04:48:18,000
Okay.

2467
04:48:18,000 --> 04:48:19,000
All right, fair enough.

2468
04:48:19,000 --> 04:48:25,000
And then last I miss miss missed on my list here for the Rancho of this part of the engagement.

2469
04:48:25,000 --> 04:48:29,000
I was at one of those meetings and through quite a few question people there.

2470
04:48:29,000 --> 04:48:43,000
I wouldn't even mention in the engagement section. So I think, again, just recognizing that the Equestrian community showed up and they had some concerns about just a question for your safety.

2471
04:48:43,000 --> 04:48:52,000
We can certainly add that language. I just would like to note that there is a whole separate Rancho neighborhood specific plan.

2472
04:48:52,000 --> 04:48:57,000
Which I'm sure you're very well aware of that absolutely.

2473
04:48:57,000 --> 04:49:05,000
We city understands the unique transportation needs and the intersection of different modes in the neighborhood.

2474
04:49:05,000 --> 04:49:09,000
Then that plan is specifically looking into that.

2475
04:49:09,000 --> 04:49:18,000
This plan just went based off of the data and where the hotspots were and then suggested off of that.

2476
04:49:18,000 --> 04:49:23,000
And unfortunately or rather luckily.

2477
04:49:23,000 --> 04:49:30,000
There were in any major hotspots in the Rancho that were in our top nine project list.

2478
04:49:30,000 --> 04:49:32,000
Understood. Thank you.

2479
04:49:32,000 --> 04:49:35,000
Madam Vice Mayor, thank you.

2480
04:49:35,000 --> 04:49:38,000
Great. Thank you for these questions.

2481
04:49:38,000 --> 04:49:40,000
A few more questions for you.

2482
04:49:40,000 --> 04:49:45,000
Going back to the topic of funding and the purpose of this plan.

2483
04:49:45,000 --> 04:49:57,000
So what I heard you say when we make sure I got that correct is that this plan is a lot of it is to give direction and a plan for being able to do these quick builds.

2484
04:49:57,000 --> 04:50:01,000
But it also is essential for future funding opportunities.

2485
04:50:01,000 --> 04:50:07,000
So it's kind of a two purpose plan for the future, too, right?

2486
04:50:07,000 --> 04:50:12,000
Correct. Yes. It opens the city up to be able to apply for those funds.

2487
04:50:12,000 --> 04:50:20,000
However, understanding how funding changes from time to time.

2488
04:50:20,000 --> 04:50:26,000
Staff is looking at a variety of funding opportunities.

2489
04:50:26,000 --> 04:50:33,000
But yes, to the short answer is yes, this opens up to be able to apply for additional state and federal funding.

2490
04:50:33,000 --> 04:50:38,000
Okay. And kind of following up with that and also previous comment about the bike paths.

2491
04:50:38,000 --> 04:50:46,000
How does this integrate with our complete streets and bike master plan both for implementing all these projects and work on the project and also for funding?

2492
04:50:46,000 --> 04:50:48,000
Thank you for the question.

2493
04:50:48,000 --> 04:50:57,000
So those plans laid the policies that this plan has built on top of.

2494
04:50:57,000 --> 04:51:06,000
If you notice on the cut sheets for if you flip to any number of them, there's a long term vision improvements white box on the right side.

2495
04:51:06,000 --> 04:51:12,000
And it notes where a corridor overlaps with a complete streets plan project.

2496
04:51:12,000 --> 04:51:16,000
So what that can do is a couple of things.

2497
04:51:16,000 --> 04:51:28,000
It can give staff the opportunity to possibly do a quicker build version of that to demonstrate effectiveness and then go after funding to fortify it.

2498
04:51:28,000 --> 04:51:39,000
Or what it can do is if it's coming along sooner, these other components for the rest of the corridor could be folded into it.

2499
04:51:39,000 --> 04:51:42,000
Great. It really like how they're all integrating together.

2500
04:51:42,000 --> 04:51:45,000
And they're multiple stages of the different projects.

2501
04:51:45,000 --> 04:51:50,000
And they're potentially all pieces of getting funding for different levels of projects.

2502
04:51:50,000 --> 04:51:53,000
So that's great to hear what they're all integrated.

2503
04:51:53,000 --> 04:51:59,000
And for the quick builds for this plan, they're quick to build in the sense that they're not as big of a project.

2504
04:51:59,000 --> 04:52:07,000
But that also means to that if for whatever reason they don't work out or that there's an issue that they can be adjusted or taken down pretty quickly as well, right?

2505
04:52:07,000 --> 04:52:10,000
It could be removed pretty much by getting that right.

2506
04:52:10,000 --> 04:52:15,000
Correct. Yes.

2507
04:52:16,000 --> 04:52:25,000
And then there was a community email that received and I think this is an example of where this can be.

2508
04:52:25,000 --> 04:52:30,000
I think the community can understand how this can be important is that yeah at the.

2509
04:52:30,000 --> 04:52:34,000
Recently there was an accident at Riverside and Rose, right?

2510
04:52:34,000 --> 04:52:38,000
And that's part of the area of focus that streets in one of our lines here.

2511
04:52:38,000 --> 04:52:44,000
So what would be an example of something that could apply to that particular intersection?

2512
04:52:44,000 --> 04:52:51,000
Do you happen to have that? I mean, I think Riverside and Rose is on.

2513
04:52:51,000 --> 04:52:55,000
The bottom left over by.

2514
04:52:55,000 --> 04:52:58,000
The shopping area and Riverside over on that side.

2515
04:52:58,000 --> 04:53:03,000
So what would be an example for the community to hear how that kind of thing could when there's an accident like that.

2516
04:53:03,000 --> 04:53:08,000
It could it be this plan be applied to that kind of.

2517
04:53:08,000 --> 04:53:11,000
Situation.

2518
04:53:11,000 --> 04:53:18,000
So the focus network is kind of the broader.

2519
04:53:18,000 --> 04:53:25,000
Top 15% of corridors and yes, as you mentioned, that segment of Riverside is on it.

2520
04:53:26,000 --> 04:53:35,000
But it wasn't didn't meet the threshold to be included as one of the specific project corridors.

2521
04:53:35,000 --> 04:53:41,000
Having said that as we see in the in the plan.

2522
04:53:41,000 --> 04:53:49,000
Intersections are a major focus left turns are a major focus and pretty much on most of these corridors.

2523
04:53:49,000 --> 04:53:55,000
The intersection to where those left turns or broadsides are happening is something that stuff be focusing on.

2524
04:53:55,000 --> 04:54:00,000
Good. And I think I think the kind of the question I'm asking is that.

2525
04:54:00,000 --> 04:54:04,000
When folks see accidents in the community like this intersection dangerous.

2526
04:54:04,000 --> 04:54:10,000
I think the question that might happen their head is how does this wonder what how do we get improvements.

2527
04:54:10,000 --> 04:54:14,000
What's a plan like this or how do we ask for improvements when we see an intersection dangerous this way.

2528
04:54:14,000 --> 04:54:18,000
So if there is an intersection or situation like this.

2529
04:54:18,000 --> 04:54:23,000
Does this plan help us improve those intersections in the community use those.

2530
04:54:23,000 --> 04:54:29,000
Accidents as an example of how to advocate for safer intersections.

2531
04:54:29,000 --> 04:54:30,000
Is that right.

2532
04:54:30,000 --> 04:54:34,000
So the nuance on this a little bit further.

2533
04:54:34,000 --> 04:54:38,000
I'm not quite sure I'm going to go with this, but first of all we don't know the circumstances of that accident.

2534
04:54:38,000 --> 04:54:43,000
So I don't know we can't prognosticate what could be used as solutions in here because I have no idea.

2535
04:54:43,000 --> 04:54:47,000
What cause and I just saw the picture in the car was what.

2536
04:54:47,000 --> 04:54:55,000
As Mr. Noah said, yeah, we had an accident there and it's concerning and it's on our network.

2537
04:54:55,000 --> 04:54:59,000
But if you think about it, there's nine other corridors where you have even more stuff happening.

2538
04:54:59,000 --> 04:55:10,000
So while we would like to focus our efforts immediately when we see something in the news to address it and we may have to just because of future circumstances.

2539
04:55:10,000 --> 04:55:20,000
Just know that we're one big goal of this was to really be the data is the arbiter and so we are looking at the brass tax of where the crash is happening.

2540
04:55:20,000 --> 04:55:25,000
We are waiting the vulnerable road users as a higher weight.

2541
04:55:25,000 --> 04:55:35,000
So we may have three auto versus auto in one place, but if we have maybe one auto versus auto in one pet that will rise higher because of pedestrian we're waiting further.

2542
04:55:35,000 --> 04:55:39,000
So that's where the 10 corridors come and that's where we want to focus.

2543
04:55:39,000 --> 04:55:50,000
But I will say that circumstances that we see with those types of accidents are speed or or conflicts at intersection.

2544
04:55:50,000 --> 04:55:56,000
And those are the two kind of north star things we're trying to fix because that's where most of the safety problems happen.

2545
04:55:56,000 --> 04:56:05,000
And so then the counter measures talked to that it's what can we do to reduce speeds and what can we do to eliminate or reduce conflicts.

2546
04:56:05,000 --> 04:56:08,000
Great, okay, thank you for elaborating that.

2547
04:56:08,000 --> 04:56:15,000
And then so speaking of speeds, one other item that came up is specifically street racing speeds.

2548
04:56:15,000 --> 04:56:25,000
So there's the general like just fast or driving like on Bano and because it's open or open road or whatever but there's the specific street racing speeds.

2549
04:56:25,000 --> 04:56:34,000
Would this plan help us at all with those types of situations or our streets that are used for street racing.

2550
04:56:34,000 --> 04:56:39,000
Let me first say that street racing is a violation of the law.

2551
04:56:39,000 --> 04:56:54,000
So if people are willing to break the law, that really goes beyond our ability to control it if they wish to run red lights if they wish to speed down the middle of narrow lanes, which are designed to slow traffic.

2552
04:56:54,000 --> 04:57:02,000
Staff would be limited and their ability for people who wish to disobey our traffic control devices.

2553
04:57:02,000 --> 04:57:06,000
Okay, so the answer is no that this plan does.

2554
04:57:06,000 --> 04:57:23,000
Well, I would just caution the council from making statements that it believes it can control illegal conduct with safe road design because illegal conduct by its nature is violating safe roadways safe intersection.

2555
04:57:23,000 --> 04:57:31,000
So the fact that an accident happens, the fact that a race happens doesn't mean that the design is not safe.

2556
04:57:31,000 --> 04:57:33,000
It means they broke the law.

2557
04:57:33,000 --> 04:57:34,000
Right.

2558
04:57:34,000 --> 04:57:40,000
You should talk to the people making the new fast or furious movie and see if they want to change some of their attitudes.

2559
04:57:40,000 --> 04:57:43,000
Well, and then I think this is also someone important.

2560
04:57:43,000 --> 04:57:47,000
Someone obscures to any of the data that we received with the crash data.

2561
04:57:47,000 --> 04:58:01,000
If it has if these data are speed racing data in crashes, then it I don't know if it is impacting it all of our interpretation of whether that is a safety or our.

2562
04:58:01,000 --> 04:58:08,000
Generally speeding or generally dangerous road versus a road where people are breaking the law in which he doesn't outlier, so I'm just wondering.

2563
04:58:08,000 --> 04:58:12,000
So I would discourage you from using the phrase generally dangerous road.

2564
04:58:13,000 --> 04:58:15,000
I don't believe we have any of those.

2565
04:58:15,000 --> 04:58:16,000
Okay, thank you.

2566
04:58:16,000 --> 04:58:18,000
And clarify.

2567
04:58:18,000 --> 04:58:22,000
And I will say maybe not necessarily for speed racing, although.

2568
04:58:22,000 --> 04:58:37,000
I guess it would apply to but in general, there are another action item is enforcement and some tools that we are proposing to look into to use police resources a little bit differently to address.

2569
04:58:37,000 --> 04:58:47,000
So that is an action item, so we have we have speeding motor officers, we have patrol officers, we have pretty good crime low crime member, luckily.

2570
04:58:47,000 --> 04:58:53,000
And so there may be opportunities to use resources a little bit differently to direct.

2571
04:58:53,000 --> 04:58:58,000
Say patrol in certain times in circumstances to speeding enforcement.

2572
04:58:58,000 --> 04:59:04,000
So enforcement is not a infrastructure measure, it is a it is a but it is another part of it.

2573
04:59:04,000 --> 04:59:11,000
Okay, so that's a totally separate thing so folks who have questions or comments about that is a completely separate.

2574
04:59:11,000 --> 04:59:28,000
Well, it's included in the plan and I think the corridors and the locations will now help us enforce where we know things are happening because we will see that with all these corridors or many of them speed is a factor in many of the crashes and so one measure.

2575
04:59:28,000 --> 04:59:38,000
We can do speed feedback signs, we can do lane narrowing, we can do signal timing to break up the platoons, but then we can also direct speed enforcement resources.

2576
04:59:38,000 --> 04:59:44,000
It's certain times to also affect that I will say also and please have much more information to provide on this.

2577
04:59:44,000 --> 04:59:51,000
We also are limited in our police resources, so there's only so much we can do but this helps direct the their work also.

2578
04:59:51,000 --> 04:59:53,000
Okay, great, thanks.

2579
04:59:53,000 --> 05:00:00,000
Shifting gears a bit for the green bike lane, so just wanted to kind of clarify.

2580
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:15,020
I think what Council Member Anthony was asking about was for the green bike lanes in the high conflict areas that are being redone and putting those as a priority for if you're going to do the

2581
05:00:15,020 --> 05:00:37,020
the street anyway, miles will put in the conflict green painting. Is there also potentially a focus for the highest conflict bike areas that maybe there's not going to be doing any street work there, but there's still particularly conflict areas that we could add the green bike lanes. And if so, where would we get that information to figure out which one those are?

2582
05:00:37,020 --> 05:01:03,020
So for the the project corridors, if there is an existing bikeway, or if there is a small gap, that is absolutely something that we staff would be looking at implementing to improve the visibility for where those conflict points conflict points are, but that would be aligned with the priority projects outlined in the plan.

2583
05:01:03,020 --> 05:01:20,020
Okay, all right. And then going back to traffic circles, I know we're in questions, but since we talked about traffic circles earlier, my question to you is, can I be at the ribbon cutting for the first traffic circle that you play?

2584
05:01:20,020 --> 05:01:27,020
I think that's great. I'm big fan of traffic circles and would love to be there to see the first one implemented.

2585
05:01:27,020 --> 05:01:41,020
Yeah, but also I understand the concern about implementing something new like that. I have complete confidence that our community can quickly figure it out and they will it will take some adjusting. Yes, they will.

2586
05:01:41,020 --> 05:01:49,020
Yes, they will other communities have done it many times that where I have faith in you. Councilmember Rosati, I faith in you.

2587
05:01:49,020 --> 05:02:00,020
But yeah, so there's that and then the leading pedestrian intervals. Yes, thank you so much for those. I've already talked about those before and curb extensions. Yes, big fan.

2588
05:02:01,020 --> 05:02:13,020
A couple more things that I'm done. Van Owen. So I have a little bit of a different perspective. Do you remember the walking walking.

2589
05:02:13,020 --> 05:02:19,020
I don't know what it was called like an audit or something where we did had two or three groups we walked all through the tour through that area.

2590
05:02:19,020 --> 05:02:32,020
In my group that we did that walking tour every one in that group was like, please slow down, Van Owen, please please please do something. So I have a feeling that that that community will really appreciate something being done there in narrowing lanes.

2591
05:02:32,020 --> 05:02:35,020
Whatever it takes a slow folks down.

2592
05:02:35,020 --> 05:02:47,020
And when you're considering like that stretch or when you're considering these things are is there going to be outreach to the community again to see whether they would like to have those more potentially extreme measures.

2593
05:02:47,020 --> 05:02:52,020
I think that's an area is an example that that would be actually pretty welcome to have something to go on there.

2594
05:02:52,020 --> 05:03:09,020
So this is again, it's a little bit lower level. We're having a discussion about kind of where we want to go with quick build limited outreach and so we'll take that feedback but also for additional context in the longer range planning area.

2595
05:03:09,020 --> 05:03:22,020
The Golden State specific plan has a whole mobility component and we are looking at Van Owen to actually do a lane reduction, but that's not coming out of this like which is do it.

2596
05:03:22,020 --> 05:03:25,020
It's kind of out of okay this is the specific plan.

2597
05:03:25,020 --> 05:03:32,020
Let's weigh in on all the different ideas we want to look at to address transportation in this area for the next 15 years.

2598
05:03:32,020 --> 05:03:35,020
That is a corridor of discussion.

2599
05:03:35,020 --> 05:03:43,020
Okay great good that they'll be happy to hear that and then just in general with the all the elements on.

2600
05:03:43,020 --> 05:03:48,020
232 and 233 with the suggestions can we please add the green by lanes.

2601
05:03:48,020 --> 05:03:52,020
Little picture there's a space right there for the green by lanes right on that page.

2602
05:03:52,020 --> 05:03:57,020
And I like them all they're great thank you for including all these.

2603
05:03:57,020 --> 05:04:05,020
All right those are all my questions deliberation we're already I think 45 minutes behind schedule but if we would like to deliver it yes count member moments.

2604
05:04:05,020 --> 05:04:10,020
Now I have one request to see if we can add that.

2605
05:04:10,020 --> 05:04:20,020
For the pavement marking through intersection those white lines for the intersections.

2606
05:04:21,020 --> 05:04:35,020
I don't believe unless I miss it we have the flashing lights when somebody's crossing in an intersection especially a busy street I'll give an example on.

2607
05:04:35,020 --> 05:04:46,020
I believe it's central in Glendale central brand across the street there is a church on the corner there they have the flashing lights if somebody wants to cross.

2608
05:04:46,020 --> 05:04:49,020
Can we you're saying an intersection that doesn't have a street light.

2609
05:04:49,020 --> 05:04:56,020
Yeah or in the middle of the intersection in the middle of the street where the lights as far.

2610
05:04:56,020 --> 05:05:02,020
Can we do we have any of those lights here in the city I've never seen one.

2611
05:05:02,020 --> 05:05:09,020
It's kind of a cautious light to let the pedestrian the vehicles know that there is somebody crossing the street.

2612
05:05:09,020 --> 05:05:14,020
So she's asking about crosswalks without a signal.

2613
05:05:14,020 --> 05:05:19,020
So I don't think we have any of I've never so.

2614
05:05:19,020 --> 05:05:27,020
So this so those sorts of improvements step one those sorts of improvements are a little bit out of the quick build right.

2615
05:05:27,020 --> 05:05:38,020
You need power and you got to build it into the street and yes and there's some there's a category some of these improvements with public works that we kind of put in a side bucket of.

2616
05:05:38,020 --> 05:05:47,020
Potential but with a little more stuff because there are certain parameters we want to look at when we're looking at mid block crossings and doing controls like that.

2617
05:05:47,020 --> 05:06:03,020
To make sure we're putting the appropriate treatment there that being said we will be getting some of these from separate projects we're going to get one on front street as part of the seven seven seven front street projects to get folks crossing front street it's only two lanes in each direction of a little fast.

2618
05:06:03,020 --> 05:06:13,020
All but I think it's going to be slower with the new development but so we're going to get one there and then the empire housing development project 20.

2619
05:06:13,020 --> 05:06:27,020
This we empire between point of vista and Ontario with the housing development affordable housing project they will be putting one in right near them and by the park to help with that.

2620
05:06:27,020 --> 05:06:39,020
So we're we're very our engineering colleagues and ourselves are very cognizant about letting people cross mid block to only do it when they have the appropriate treatment which is why it's not a quick build.

2621
05:06:39,020 --> 05:06:45,020
But it is included for further study in some of these areas.

2622
05:06:45,020 --> 05:07:00,020
I was just one further note that my colleague from traffic engineering just let me know so that you were talking about the overhead is the hawk signal that tends to happen on the faster more main streets.

2623
05:07:01,020 --> 05:07:20,020
RRFB the flashing beacon ones where the lights are on the side is exclusively on a quieter slower sad street so they're even though they both have flashing lights they're two different use cases so I just wanted to clarify that that the ones that would like the one that would be on him on.

2624
05:07:20,020 --> 05:07:24,020
by seven seven seven front street is the overhead hawk one.

2625
05:07:24,020 --> 05:07:42,020
Okay I mean I've seen him I've used them and I think it's helpful for you know cars who are coming not expecting that somebody's crossing it alerts the vehicles to slow down so if it's something that we can have in the future as you're.

2626
05:07:43,020 --> 05:07:50,020
Moving on to second phase or the projects are done so is something maybe to look at in the future.

2627
05:07:50,020 --> 05:07:52,020
Yes, okay.

2628
05:07:52,020 --> 05:07:55,020
Just one last final question.

2629
05:07:55,020 --> 05:08:02,020
The high visibility crosswalks are those only going to be implemented where we already currently have strike crosswalks.

2630
05:08:03,020 --> 05:08:08,020
Correct, there's a separate crosswalk policy that addresses new ones.

2631
05:08:08,020 --> 05:08:09,020
Okay.

2632
05:08:09,020 --> 05:08:11,020
Okay, thank you.

2633
05:08:11,020 --> 05:08:14,020
Okay, ready for deliberation yes.

2634
05:08:14,020 --> 05:08:15,020
Councilmember Anthony.

2635
05:08:15,020 --> 05:08:17,020
Yeah, so.

2636
05:08:17,020 --> 05:08:18,020
I'm fine with the plan.

2637
05:08:18,020 --> 05:08:20,020
I like all of the designs.

2638
05:08:20,020 --> 05:08:23,020
I don't want to limit our public works on what they can do.

2639
05:08:23,020 --> 05:08:29,020
However, to Councilmember Mullins point, there are a couple that I think might be a little.

2640
05:08:30,020 --> 05:08:47,020
Newfangled for folks and because you know our our city doubles in size during the day, especially in the commercial areas I think trying to do outreach and commercial areas would just not really get the result we want.

2641
05:08:47,020 --> 05:08:58,020
So for me personally I think doing the outreach specifically to any improvements in residential zones is really where we should concentrate on specifically the three items that I'm looking at.

2642
05:08:58,020 --> 05:09:05,020
The traffic circles, the lane narrowing and the curve extensions for me those three.

2643
05:09:05,020 --> 05:09:08,020
Vis visually.

2644
05:09:08,020 --> 05:09:15,020
If you're in the neighborhood if you live in the area, it looks like there's a big improvement and change to the roadway.

2645
05:09:15,020 --> 05:09:20,020
I know going through these that yes, it takes a minute and you get it but.

2646
05:09:20,020 --> 05:09:45,020
To Councilmember Mullins point I don't want to get a flood 200 emails coming in why is this in so if we could do some more traditional outreach on the three the curve extensions the lane narrowing and the traffic circles just in the residential neighborhoods that they're implementing that I think that would really hit off at the past a lot of the stuff we saw with all of north of.

2647
05:09:46,020 --> 05:09:52,020
So curve extensions on our material a commercial area, are you more okay with that because this is a kind of a bread and butter item.

2648
05:09:52,020 --> 05:09:56,020
Resonance like totally get it because you don't want one of these things in front of your house.

2649
05:09:56,020 --> 05:10:11,020
Well, not that I don't want it, but if we we need to let we need to have a more discussion about that, but if it wants it to warrant it, but doing the outreach and talk to the people and yeah so that's I think kind of the point of what yeah.

2650
05:10:11,020 --> 05:10:21,020
I'm going to go back to just ask that we that we consider implementing the question safety into the plan.

2651
05:10:21,020 --> 05:10:24,020
With the trail and signage and just.

2652
05:10:24,020 --> 05:10:30,020
If I could because one of the things we're talking about is how it's not really affecting it what I'd like to do.

2653
05:10:30,020 --> 05:10:39,020
Instead of trying to implement it here is hold off on any implementation in the Rancho area for this until we're done with the master plan if that's.

2654
05:10:39,020 --> 05:10:42,020
I think she just least mentioned it.

2655
05:10:42,020 --> 05:10:48,020
Just mentioned it you have you not even mentioned in here that there should be a question for safety in there.

2656
05:10:48,020 --> 05:10:49,020
Okay.

2657
05:10:49,020 --> 05:10:50,020
I'm okay with that.

2658
05:10:50,020 --> 05:10:55,020
We're not asking for an implement implementation of anything we're just asking to mention it.

2659
05:10:55,020 --> 05:10:57,020
And then.

2660
05:10:57,020 --> 05:11:08,020
Just do we get data was there any data at all of a question involved accidents or course injury or course writer injury.

2661
05:11:08,020 --> 05:11:16,020
So in the in the police report data that staff received there.

2662
05:11:16,020 --> 05:11:25,020
Many many columns of of the data fields including if an animal was involved in a collision.

2663
05:11:25,020 --> 05:11:35,020
So it didn't specifically say horses sit in also looking at the collision characteristics and where it happened seeing if it was in the Rancho.

2664
05:11:35,020 --> 05:11:41,020
If it was on Riverside or one of the side streets with something staff looked into.

2665
05:11:41,020 --> 05:11:46,020
And there wasn't a.

2666
05:11:46,020 --> 05:11:52,020
A collision involving an animal in those areas that was a.

2667
05:11:52,020 --> 05:11:59,020
An injury collision so the collisions that staff used for the mapping and the waiting.

2668
05:11:59,020 --> 05:12:03,020
There were none that met those criteria.

2669
05:12:03,020 --> 05:12:09,020
Maybe even just including that information in the report so that it shows it was looked at considered.

2670
05:12:09,020 --> 05:12:10,020
Yeah.

2671
05:12:10,020 --> 05:12:12,020
I agree I think.

2672
05:12:12,020 --> 05:12:17,020
I agree with both of you we should have and I think you said the same we should.

2673
05:12:17,020 --> 05:12:22,020
At least we know that this part of the community was not overlooked.

2674
05:12:22,020 --> 05:12:30,020
And there was some either we didn't have enough data or is this this is something we're going to look at in a future in our master plan.

2675
05:12:30,020 --> 05:12:35,020
Or even face to of the ongoing improvement that we're doing.

2676
05:12:35,020 --> 05:12:42,020
And then just to finish up I just think the round about is just not a great idea and.

2677
05:12:42,020 --> 05:12:47,020
There are an intent quantum consequences you know people doing donuts in there.

2678
05:12:47,020 --> 05:12:59,020
I might be for it if it was a high quality one and I've seen high quality ones where there's landscape being an infrastructure and but I don't think we're talking about that I think we're just talking about.

2679
05:13:00,020 --> 05:13:02,020
Just subsurbing right.

2680
05:13:02,020 --> 05:13:05,020
It didn't look like anything high quality.

2681
05:13:05,020 --> 05:13:06,020
If we're going to do it.

2682
05:13:06,020 --> 05:13:08,020
I want to do it right.

2683
05:13:08,020 --> 05:13:09,020
Yes.

2684
05:13:09,020 --> 05:13:16,020
A little bit of terminology traffic circle is more akin to what we be looking at here which is really slowing down at intersections.

2685
05:13:16,020 --> 05:13:24,020
A full roundabout where you're actually like pulling out the stop signs and doing the full treatment is kind of beyond the scope so I do want to make that different.

2686
05:13:24,020 --> 05:13:36,020
And again I would what I'm encouraging them is to do the outreach first.

2687
05:13:36,020 --> 05:13:41,020
Get the communities to support it if we have if we have huge pushback.

2688
05:13:41,020 --> 05:13:44,020
So one of the reasons why I think the outreach is important.

2689
05:13:44,020 --> 05:13:52,020
If you get a neighborhood and you're like hey we'd like to implement a neighborhood traffic server and do the outreach and nobody's for it.

2690
05:13:53,020 --> 05:14:00,020
I think at that point we have an informed decision where we can make that choice at that point.

2691
05:14:00,020 --> 05:14:01,020
Give me.

2692
05:14:01,020 --> 05:14:03,020
Give me a better idea what a traffic server was.

2693
05:14:03,020 --> 05:14:07,020
I mean if you look at the picture page 33 it's very small.

2694
05:14:07,020 --> 05:14:08,020
That's what I'm saying I just.

2695
05:14:08,020 --> 05:14:21,020
Yeah, but but like so what I don't want to do is limit public works and their ability to give that option to the community if people in the neighborhood are asking for some sort of calming measure.

2696
05:14:21,020 --> 05:14:26,020
And nothing else is working and public works comes to them as his hey folks in this neighborhood.

2697
05:14:26,020 --> 05:14:29,020
Is this something you'd like and they're all for it.

2698
05:14:29,020 --> 05:14:36,020
I mean who are we to say not all you can't do it because traffic circle it's around about you have to go around it.

2699
05:14:36,020 --> 05:14:37,020
Can't go straight.

2700
05:14:37,020 --> 05:14:38,020
You have to go around it.

2701
05:14:38,020 --> 05:14:39,020
You have to go around it.

2702
05:14:39,020 --> 05:14:40,020
The person has come around it.

2703
05:14:40,020 --> 05:14:42,020
So it's.

2704
05:14:42,020 --> 05:14:46,020
I think it's a little funky and not an engineer but there's.

2705
05:14:46,020 --> 05:14:56,020
There's two round about one where you just go around and the other one is just I've seen this circle in some neighborhood.

2706
05:14:56,020 --> 05:15:00,020
It's not a full round about but so maybe what are we.

2707
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:18,000
So you have to go around, right? You got to keep going around and then the guy on the other side has to go, wait, oh, should I go, should I go, should I go? No, and then yeah, because the clusters, that's around about. So if I may through the advice, right, east coast of here, log around about, it's just full disclosure.

2708
05:15:18,000 --> 05:15:37,000
So typically to replace traffic signals, there are larger intersections. There are to continuously have traffic go around and this would think of a larger intersection, there's opportunities for bikes and peds on the sides.

2709
05:15:37,000 --> 05:15:56,000
The traffic circle is really a residential traffic calming measure, and there could be a simple as, you know, followed in a curve, you can make it a planter, but the bottom line for us, transportation planter traffic engineers, we wouldn't look to implement this in an area that doesn't warrant it.

2710
05:15:56,000 --> 05:16:25,000
So that's from studies and again, working with PD and understanding that people will want this because they've seen a lot of issues there, and it's a way, it's not a merge in yields in area, there is a circle to it's a weave around and both directions you do have to pay more attention, that's the benefit of a versus just open intersection or even a stop sign, you have to make contact, that's what's safe for traffic circles and roundabouts, but not the rabbit hole, that's basically the difference of roundabouts for just traffic circles.

2711
05:16:26,000 --> 05:16:31,000
The traffic circles being smaller and more residential applications.

2712
05:16:31,000 --> 05:16:36,000
I think that we could build one quick build and let you try it out and see what things.

2713
05:16:36,000 --> 05:16:43,000
I'm not worried about me, there are so many people that are courteous and they're in a rush and I just, I don't know.

2714
05:16:43,000 --> 05:16:50,000
You guys get the emails, I don't want you guys to get the emails, I'll see, I'll just put, again, because it's quick build, right? We try it.

2715
05:16:50,000 --> 05:16:52,000
Yeah, if we don't like it, pull it up.

2716
05:16:52,000 --> 05:16:54,000
Well, and you're going to limit us.

2717
05:16:54,000 --> 05:17:10,000
Like you said earlier, let's find out if that neighborhood wants it, and if they do and they know how to drive around there, great for them, but if they don't, let's rethink about what else can we do.

2718
05:17:10,000 --> 05:17:18,000
Yeah, it's good to have it in the arsenal as a possibility, doesn't mean it necessarily has to be implemented, but it's good to have is in the pocket.

2719
05:17:18,000 --> 05:17:22,000
And to be clear, if we were to consider these, it's again, it's way down the list.

2720
05:17:22,000 --> 05:17:28,000
We were looking at six street in the dense part of the hill, where we have a lot of stop sign conflicts.

2721
05:17:28,000 --> 05:17:31,000
I go down six street, I'll be there tomorrow morning.

2722
05:17:31,000 --> 05:17:32,000
I know I know.

2723
05:17:32,000 --> 05:17:35,000
Head into mirror and dealing with all the other parents.

2724
05:17:35,000 --> 05:17:39,000
So yes, I think I personally think a drivers are going to help.

2725
05:17:39,000 --> 05:17:45,000
I want to see a camera, I want a camera, I want to see everyone going through there and see how it works.

2726
05:17:45,000 --> 05:17:47,000
I'm not opposed to that, so.

2727
05:17:47,000 --> 05:17:49,000
Any more deliberation?

2728
05:17:49,000 --> 05:17:50,000
I'm good.

2729
05:17:50,000 --> 05:17:51,000
Okay.

2730
05:17:51,000 --> 05:17:53,000
Great.

2731
05:17:53,000 --> 05:17:55,000
This is such a great work.

2732
05:17:55,000 --> 05:18:04,000
The thoroughness, the visibility of the projects, clarity, the thoughtfulness has gone into this, and so impressed with the plan.

2733
05:18:04,000 --> 05:18:06,000
Thank you so much for putting it together.

2734
05:18:06,000 --> 05:18:09,000
I already shared my thoughts about the different elements.

2735
05:18:09,000 --> 05:18:13,000
Put them all in the toolbox to be used potentially.

2736
05:18:13,000 --> 05:18:18,000
And I'm looking forward to seeing how, you know, assuming we have passed it just now.

2737
05:18:18,000 --> 05:18:21,000
Looking forward to seeing how things pop up.

2738
05:18:21,000 --> 05:18:24,000
So would anyone like to make a motion?

2739
05:18:24,000 --> 05:18:25,000
I'm here.

2740
05:18:25,000 --> 05:18:27,000
Okay.

2741
05:18:27,000 --> 05:18:28,000
All right.

2742
05:18:28,000 --> 05:18:32,000
I'd like to move that we adopt a resolution of the Council of the City of Burbank adopting the

2743
05:18:32,000 --> 05:18:37,000
Labour Street's Burbank Action Plan and declaring categorical exemption under

2744
05:18:37,000 --> 05:18:46,000
Sequo with the recommendations on including language that we have studied the Rancho

2745
05:18:46,000 --> 05:18:48,000
Master Plan.

2746
05:18:48,000 --> 05:18:49,000
Oh, sorry.

2747
05:18:49,000 --> 05:18:53,000
The Rancho.

2748
05:18:53,000 --> 05:18:54,000
The Rancho.

2749
05:18:54,000 --> 05:18:55,000
A question in safety.

2750
05:18:55,000 --> 05:18:56,000
A question in safety.

2751
05:18:56,000 --> 05:19:08,000
And the additional outreach for curb extensions, laying narrowing and traffic circles in residential

2752
05:19:08,000 --> 05:19:09,000
Neighbors.

2753
05:19:09,000 --> 05:19:10,000
Second.

2754
05:19:10,000 --> 05:19:11,000

Second.

2764

Second.

2765
05:19:21,000 --> 05:19:22,000
Second.

2766
05:19:22,000 --> 05:19:23,000
Second.

2767
05:19:23,000 --> 05:19:24,000
Second.

2768
05:19:24,000 --> 05:19:25,000
Second.

2769
05:19:25,000 --> 05:19:25,500
Second.

2770
05:19:25,500 --> 05:19:26,500
Second.

2771
05:19:26,500 --> 05:19:27,500
Second.

2772
05:19:27,500 --> 05:19:28,500
Second.

2773
05:19:28,500 --> 05:19:29,500
Second.

2774
05:19:29,500 --> 05:19:30,500
Second.

2775
05:19:30,500 --> 05:19:31,500
Second.

2776
05:19:31,500 --> 05:19:32,500
Second.

2777
05:19:32,500 --> 05:19:33,500
Second.

2778
05:19:33,500 --> 05:19:34,500
Second.

2779
05:19:34,500 --> 05:19:35,500
Second.

2780
05:19:35,500 --> 05:19:36,500
Second.

2781
05:19:36,500 --> 05:19:37,500
Second.

2782
05:19:37,500 --> 05:19:38,500
Second.

2783
05:19:38,500 --> 05:19:39,500
Second.

2784
05:19:39,500 --> 05:19:40,500
Second.

2785
05:19:40,500 --> 05:19:41,500
Second.

2786
05:19:41,500 --> 05:19:42,500
Second.

2787
05:19:42,500 --> 05:19:43,500
Second.

2788
05:19:43,500 --> 05:19:44,500
Second.

2789
05:19:44,500 --> 05:19:45,500
Second.

2790
05:19:45,500 --> 05:19:46,500
Second.

2791
05:19:46,500 --> 05:19:47,500
Second.

2792
05:19:47,500 --> 05:19:48,500
Second.

2793
05:19:48,500 --> 05:19:49,500
Second.

2794
05:19:49,500 --> 05:19:50,500
Second.

2795
05:19:50,500 --> 05:19:51,500
Second.

2796
05:19:51,500 --> 05:19:52,500
Second.

2797
05:19:52,500 --> 05:19:53,500
Second.

2798
05:19:53,500 --> 05:19:54,500
Second.

2799
05:19:54,500 --> 05:19:59,860
five also known as the Novigilani's Act. This bill introduced by Senators Perez and Winner

2800
05:19:59,860 --> 05:20:06,500
would require all law enforcement officers operating California, federal, state, and local

2801
05:20:06,500 --> 05:20:12,100
to visibly display their agency and their name or badge number during enforcement duties.

2802
05:20:12,100 --> 05:20:18,500
The only exception being those that are in undercover capacity and a violation of this

2803
05:20:18,500 --> 05:20:25,780
statute would be a misdemeanor. The bill authorizes law enforcement to do the following, ID,

2804
05:20:26,580 --> 05:20:32,660
provide identification from suspected impersonators, restricts immigration enforcement by private

2805
05:20:32,660 --> 05:20:37,540
actors such as bounty hunters and bail agents, requires confidentiality of a defendant's

2806
05:20:37,540 --> 05:20:43,380
immigration status within bail operations, expands the crime of impersonating a public official

2807
05:20:43,380 --> 05:20:51,300
beyond electronic means such as the internet. In Burbank our officers are already in compliance

2808
05:20:51,300 --> 05:20:56,740
with the bill's primary provisions through state law, our department policy, and current

2809
05:20:56,740 --> 05:21:03,060
uniform manual standards. Because of this, we do not anticipate any change in the day-to-day

2810
05:21:03,060 --> 05:21:09,540
operations as it currently meets all statutes under California codes. Now, I believe it's important to

2811
05:21:09,540 --> 05:21:15,300
mention a few considerations that regarding this bill. First, it may raise legal questions regarding

2812
05:21:15,300 --> 05:21:21,940
the supremacy clause if applied to federal officers who operate under federal authorities since they

2813
05:21:21,940 --> 05:21:28,900
are not bound by state law. Second, the bill codifies practices that are already in place

2814
05:21:28,900 --> 05:21:36,100
via statutes and policies. And then some provisions could introduce conflict with federal law

2815
05:21:36,100 --> 05:21:43,700
without a clear local benefit. For these reasons, my position and that both of the Los Angeles

2816
05:21:43,700 --> 05:21:51,940
County police chiefs and Los Angeles, the California police chiefs is neutral. I am in support

2817
05:21:51,940 --> 05:22:00,020
of the overall philosophy, transparency, accountability of what the bill is intended to achieve.

2818
05:22:00,020 --> 05:22:06,180
My concern at the end of the day is the potential conflicts or the unintended consequences

2819
05:22:06,180 --> 05:22:13,540
that I mentioned specifically when you have a state law that is in direct conflict of a federal law.

2820
05:22:13,540 --> 05:22:19,380
And specifically we're talking about operational challenges in challenging a government entity

2821
05:22:19,380 --> 05:22:24,900
and what that means for us. And then also, fiscally, we're already seeing it across the region as far

2822
05:22:24,900 --> 05:22:32,340
as local municipalities being impacted when we're challenging the federal government. So for those

2823
05:22:32,340 --> 05:22:39,780
specific reasons, choosing along with the other agencies to remain neutral, SB 805 reinforces protocols

2824
05:22:39,780 --> 05:22:44,820
that are already in place. And as mentioned before, some of those provisions could be in conflict.

2825
05:22:44,820 --> 05:22:52,740
So staffs recommendation tonight is to note and file the report. However, if counsel directs and still wants

2826
05:22:52,740 --> 05:22:59,620
to support the document, a letter of support has been drafted on your behalf. And that is the

2827
05:22:59,620 --> 05:23:05,700
end of the report. If you have any questions here. Thank you for your report. Do we have the

2828
05:23:05,700 --> 05:23:11,220
comment? Okay. Well, we'll do the public comment first. And then we'll come back to ask you some questions.

2829
05:23:11,940 --> 05:23:17,940
All right. Our first or an only public comment tonight is Mr. Jason Lewis. If three minutes.

2830
05:23:22,820 --> 05:23:29,220
Good evening. And for the last time tonight, Vice Mayor, council member staff,

2831
05:23:29,220 --> 05:23:34,420
an audience, private citizen Jason Lewis, this time to bring my support for council two send a letter to

2832
05:23:34,420 --> 05:23:40,260
Sacramento, supporting SB 805, the Nova Jelani's Act. I'm actually really glad this on the agenda because I

2833
05:23:40,260 --> 05:23:46,180
wanted to speak my mind on this and hey, I'm already here. So I didn't find yourself as a member of law enforcement.

2834
05:23:46,180 --> 05:23:51,060
It's a tired trope as old as Hollywood, flashing your badge like Boulder and Scully, detective Joe Friday

2835
05:23:51,060 --> 05:23:56,420
of Dragnet. It's a part of the job. Badges with an ID number, name tag, not just a part of the

2836
05:23:56,420 --> 05:24:01,060
uniform. They're the identification that this isn't someone criminally impersonating a member of

2837
05:24:01,060 --> 05:24:05,540
law enforcement to kidnap them. This is a no-brainer. If you're in favor of citizens trusting

2838
05:24:05,540 --> 05:24:11,780
a law enforcement or building that trust, it is important. Our city publicly stands with the kind of

2839
05:24:11,780 --> 05:24:16,420
laws that bolster that. The recognition for the Burbank High Bulldog baseball team's charity,

2840
05:24:16,420 --> 05:24:21,460
they performed during the fires and amazing sportsmanship in generosity by those young men by the way.

2841
05:24:21,460 --> 05:24:25,940
They reminded me that during the fires folks might not know this, our Burbank police officers were also

2842
05:24:25,940 --> 05:24:30,820
out there like our fire department, helping our neighbors in the city's affected. They were keeping

2843
05:24:30,820 --> 05:24:36,260
homes safe from looters as they evacuated and impossers trying to look like out of town fire departments

2844
05:24:36,260 --> 05:24:41,140
were caught along with common criminals. So it's not just about Burbankers trusting our police.

2845
05:24:41,620 --> 05:24:46,340
These masks, thugs, destroy, trust and all authority because I know I didn't get the quarterback

2846
05:24:46,340 --> 05:24:53,380
wristband to know who's with the real law enforcement. Did you? Again, this is about trust. We should not

2847
05:24:53,380 --> 05:24:57,780
accept mask bounty hunters kidnapping people based on where they are hanging out. What they're

2848
05:24:57,780 --> 05:25:02,820
wearing or what kind of jobs they're seeking. It isn't normal. The reason is giving for wearing black

2849
05:25:02,820 --> 05:25:08,580
socks in their faces is nonsense. They're ashamed. They don't want to be outed. If you're wearing a

2850
05:25:08,580 --> 05:25:12,820
badge and serving honorably, you're not ashamed. I don't see ashamed in the office in my city.

2851
05:25:12,820 --> 05:25:18,740
On the contrary, I see pride in the service they give to our citizens in our community every day. I stay

2852
05:25:18,740 --> 05:25:23,780
with all law enforcement being identifiable on masks like I see our Burbank officers do today

2853
05:25:23,780 --> 05:25:30,980
and have every day. Thank you. Thank you for your comment. The staff have any response to public

2854
05:25:31,060 --> 05:25:39,780
comment. The only thing that I will reiterate is, as mentioned before, the statutes or the

2855
05:25:39,780 --> 05:25:46,180
concerns that were brought up by the comment specifically already exist. So there are strong laws

2856
05:25:46,180 --> 05:25:53,140
associated with impersonating a public official, whether that's police, fire, or some other official,

2857
05:25:53,140 --> 05:25:59,940
and also as far as the display of insignia is clear within the statute as far as name or serial number

2858
05:26:00,580 --> 05:26:07,140
badge and patches. So that currently already exists. What we are discussing specifically with 805,

2859
05:26:07,140 --> 05:26:12,500
what we're looking the kind of cast the wider net, specifically associated with the federal government

2860
05:26:12,500 --> 05:26:16,740
to address the concerns that are being brought up with the community. Thank you. All right,

2861
05:26:16,740 --> 05:26:29,700
council questions? Yeah. Based on what Mr. Lewis said, chief, will you or your staff,

2862
05:26:29,700 --> 05:26:38,180
any of the officers have any authority over an outside agent who may not be displaying

2863
05:26:38,180 --> 05:26:47,860
the badge or showing their face? Would you be able to go and arrest them because they were not

2864
05:26:47,860 --> 05:26:54,740
displaying the proper requirement of what we have here in the city, which I know you are in compliance

2865
05:26:54,740 --> 05:27:02,340
with, you know, badge showing your identity identifying the officers when they go on site. Do we have any

2866
05:27:02,340 --> 05:27:10,580
authority over them? Can we arrest them? Can we do anything? Because they're in violation.

2867
05:27:11,300 --> 05:27:16,980
Councilmember Moles, I want to make sure to understand your question correctly. So to clarify,

2868
05:27:16,980 --> 05:27:22,740
are we talking about ace state, a local municipality? Are we talking about federal? Have no authority

2869
05:27:22,820 --> 05:27:30,820
over federal entity at all? Because that's what we're talking about. I mean, the issue was brought

2870
05:27:30,820 --> 05:27:38,020
to our attention, and I think that's where SB 805 started from regarding the ICE agents,

2871
05:27:38,900 --> 05:27:46,820
going into communities, you know, arresting people or, you know, taking them, and there's a lot of

2872
05:27:46,900 --> 05:27:55,060
different scenarios that we can talk about in specifically federal, because again, we're in compliance

2873
05:27:55,060 --> 05:28:04,260
here. Would we have any authority over them? So the short answer is no, we technically do not have any

2874
05:28:04,260 --> 05:28:10,500
authority over the federal government. The other response, the longer response specifically, is up until

2875
05:28:10,500 --> 05:28:17,700
the point that we know they are federal government. So what I'm saying is we have the right to investigate

2876
05:28:17,700 --> 05:28:24,820
or determine if they actually are a legitimate law enforcement agency. And specifically, I think everybody

2877
05:28:24,820 --> 05:28:30,580
across the region has seen it televised, media, otherwise, as far as there have been instances where

2878
05:28:30,580 --> 05:28:35,140
people are trying to impersonate the federal government. That's why it's within our right to investigate

2879
05:28:35,140 --> 05:28:39,860
further. At the point that we determine they identify themselves, even though they are not

2880
05:28:39,860 --> 05:28:48,420
displaying the appropriate insignia, we have no authority over the federal government as far as we can't

2881
05:28:48,420 --> 05:28:57,220
compel them to ACs activity, be display insignia, or do other things that is the norm of a state or a

2882
05:28:57,220 --> 05:29:06,260
local municipality. Thank you. My other question is, if we have other Asians from other cities,

2883
05:29:06,260 --> 05:29:13,780
let's talk about local government, and I do we have state police that come into our city for

2884
05:29:14,980 --> 05:29:20,500
arrest, or they do any type of warrant, or arrest here in the city of Burbank, is that happening?

2885
05:29:20,500 --> 05:29:24,740
So the state municipality for California is a California highway patrol. Okay.

2886
05:29:24,740 --> 05:29:32,260
And they fall under the same sections that we would fall under as far as, well, identity correct.

2887
05:29:32,340 --> 05:29:36,260
That is codified within the penal code. So when we have somebody, let's

2888
05:29:37,060 --> 05:29:44,180
city of Glendale, our neighbor in city. When they come to our city, they are mistooming.

2889
05:29:44,740 --> 05:29:51,140
They're complying with the same laws you're complying with, which mean identify yourself, your badge,

2890
05:29:52,660 --> 05:29:57,540
and you don't have face covers, unless, again, you mentioned, they report their under cover,

2891
05:29:57,540 --> 05:29:59,540
and they have to be protected.

2892
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:07,760
Correct? Correct. Under state codified specifically, as far as the insignia, there is nothing specific

2893
05:30:07,760 --> 05:30:13,600
as far as mass, but from a professionalism standpoint, a normal state of practice, as far as kind

2894
05:30:13,600 --> 05:30:21,280
of what was already mentioned by the public comment. Mr. Lewis, we are not ashamed or afraid to

2895
05:30:21,280 --> 05:30:26,720
hide our faces and would only hide them in the capacity that we needed to probably need an undercover

2896
05:30:26,720 --> 05:30:33,680
capacity. As far as full uniform representing public safety for purposes of transparency, accountability

2897
05:30:33,680 --> 05:30:39,680
and trust, that would be outside the scope of what we have we would interact with the community.

2898
05:30:40,320 --> 05:30:48,480
Thank you. I would also point that there are fairly broad exemptions in this bill.

2899
05:30:49,680 --> 05:30:54,720
The most obvious one is the one that the chief touched upon undercover operations.

2900
05:30:54,800 --> 05:31:00,080
There's another exemption for officers wearing personal protective equipment that prevents

2901
05:31:00,080 --> 05:31:10,480
display. Number four is exigent circumstances involving an imminent danger to persons or property

2902
05:31:10,480 --> 05:31:16,400
or the escape of a perpetrator or destruction of evidence. And finally, when there is a specific

2903
05:31:16,480 --> 05:31:22,480
articulable and particularized reason to believe identification would pose significant danger

2904
05:31:22,480 --> 05:31:30,160
to the physical safety of the peace officer. Whether you like them or not, those are very broad

2905
05:31:30,160 --> 05:31:38,400
exemptions, which would mean a person not identifying themselves would not be violating this.

2906
05:31:39,360 --> 05:31:45,200
The law or at least could find a very easy excuse not to follow it.

2907
05:31:46,000 --> 05:31:53,040
Well, the burden for actually filing the cases that a prosecutor believes they can prove the case beyond

2908
05:31:53,040 --> 05:31:57,600
a reasonable doubt. And there's a lot of doubt in these exceptions.

2909
05:31:58,160 --> 05:32:02,960
Councilmember Rosadi. Thank you. Madam Vice Mayor.

2910
05:32:06,800 --> 05:32:13,920
The Assembly member and the Council member talked about facial coverings, but I looked up the bill and I read

2911
05:32:13,920 --> 05:32:19,600
this a couple times. Is this just talk about facial coverings or just ID?

2912
05:32:19,600 --> 05:32:26,080
This bill is specifically to address idea, believe Congresswoman Laura Friedman is in trying to

2913
05:32:26,080 --> 05:32:28,880
introduce a bill that specifically would then address risks.

2914
05:32:32,320 --> 05:32:37,360
I think it's a different bill. Correct. Yeah, the House bill 44. Yeah, because I

2915
05:32:37,360 --> 05:32:42,160
Assembly member mentioned 805 and facial coverings, why I was just questioning it.

2916
05:32:44,480 --> 05:32:54,880
And then what is a bail fugitive? A bail agent or a bail fugitive? So bail fugitive, the actual definition,

2917
05:32:54,880 --> 05:33:01,520
I'll do my best as far as explaining it. It's someone who is currently awaiting trial is out on bail.

2918
05:33:01,520 --> 05:33:06,720
So there's an associated bond for being released and out on their own reconnaissance.

2919
05:33:06,720 --> 05:33:13,120
So should they, what's the word I'm looking for, not forfeit the bill, but fail to appear?

2920
05:33:13,120 --> 05:33:16,320
Fail to appear. The should they fail to appear? Thank you.

2921
05:33:17,280 --> 05:33:21,360
Then at that point. Don't ask me how they would be considered a bail fugitive,

2922
05:33:21,360 --> 05:33:26,560
where they did not show up to court, or would be issued for their arrest, or failed to show up,

2923
05:33:26,560 --> 05:33:32,400
and in essence also forfeiture of the bail associated with being out on their own reconnaissance.

2924
05:33:32,400 --> 05:33:36,160
So they've committed a crime. Correct. And that crime could be,

2925
05:33:38,320 --> 05:33:44,480
there are alleged to have committed a crime and prior to sentencing, they've been released on bail

2926
05:33:45,440 --> 05:33:51,520
with a promise to return for further court proceedings. And then they're fugitive because they

2927
05:33:51,520 --> 05:33:54,720
didn't return. They failed to appear, which is a separate charge.

2928
05:34:01,520 --> 05:34:10,320
Okay, thank you. Any other questions? No? No questions for me. So deliberation? Okay,

2929
05:34:10,320 --> 05:34:17,520
that's my Anthony. So, just moved through the State Senate already.

2930
05:34:17,520 --> 05:34:23,120
Carellumenge of our voted in favor on the Senate floor. It's moving through the assembly committees.

2931
05:34:23,120 --> 05:34:28,080
It was in Assembly Member Schultz's public safety, which he shares. We saw the video.

2932
05:34:28,720 --> 05:34:34,560
He obviously voted in favor of it. He, my guess is, will likely vote for it on the assembly floor.

2933
05:34:34,560 --> 05:34:41,520
So, both of our reps are going to vote for this. The governor has signified that he's going to

2934
05:34:41,520 --> 05:34:46,240
support it. A letter is not going to do anything. It's not going to change any hearts and minds.

2935
05:34:46,960 --> 05:34:53,200
Whether we support it or not. At the end of the day, what we have here is this symbolic gesture.

2936
05:34:54,800 --> 05:35:01,280
I personally have looked at all the conflicting evidence. We have a number of state and local

2937
05:35:01,280 --> 05:35:08,720
statutes that we already work on. For me, unless a federal law is passing Congress,

2938
05:35:08,720 --> 05:35:14,080
it's not really going to do much. From my understanding what this would do at the end of the day

2939
05:35:14,080 --> 05:35:21,280
is simply give standing for our State Attorney General to file the lawsuits that we're talking about,

2940
05:35:21,280 --> 05:35:30,880
which are hard to prove, hard to substantiate, but it gives him standing to move something forward.

2941
05:35:32,000 --> 05:35:38,880
If both of our State reps are voting for it, I'm inclined to simply support the bill on its face

2942
05:35:39,520 --> 05:35:47,840
because of what it stands for and what it means. It may not end up doing anything. It may get thrown out

2943
05:35:47,840 --> 05:35:54,080
in court. The moment the lawsuit goes through. But at the end of the day, what we're seeing on the streets,

2944
05:35:54,320 --> 05:36:05,840
it's tough to watch. I saw just last week there's an actor who's been in the news recently,

2945
05:36:05,840 --> 05:36:10,560
Dean Ken, he used to play Superman on TV and he joined ICE. He said, I'm going to do my

2946
05:36:12,880 --> 05:36:18,320
due diligence of supporting the president and his administration and he's doing it without a mask and he's

2947
05:36:18,400 --> 05:36:23,760
showing up with his name and his face and he says, I'm going to join as me. And to me, I may not

2948
05:36:23,760 --> 05:36:31,200
agree with his choices, but I respect his honorable choice to not hide his identification. He's doing

2949
05:36:31,200 --> 05:36:39,360
the job of law enforcement as we in this country see what law enforcement should be doing. Your

2950
05:36:39,360 --> 05:36:43,520
your name and your face and your badge number or your identification because you're doing the honorable thing

2951
05:36:43,520 --> 05:36:50,640
or at least what you believe to be the honorable thing. So I'll reiterate what we're talking about

2952
05:36:50,640 --> 05:36:56,720
here is just a letter of support. We're not actually enforcing it. I don't think it could be enforced

2953
05:36:56,720 --> 05:37:03,360
anyways. It's a symbolic gesture. I'm inclined to support it. I know our state legislators are going

2954
05:37:03,360 --> 05:37:10,560
to vote for it anyways. On its face, do we think at the end of the day? Anyone involved in law

2955
05:37:10,560 --> 05:37:16,880
enforcement at any level? Should they follow the standard protocols that we've set forth in this

2956
05:37:16,880 --> 05:37:22,640
country of proper identification, name, badge number? So that's what I see this has.

2957
05:37:24,720 --> 05:37:34,320
Okay. Any other comments? Or during deliberation, would you like to? Yes, we are.

2958
05:37:34,320 --> 05:37:47,280
I'm happy to deliberate. I understand, and I see it exactly the same way. This is all symbolic.

2959
05:37:49,120 --> 05:37:56,720
Really nothing we do here is going to have an effect on federal what they're doing. The outcome

2960
05:37:57,680 --> 05:38:02,960
I appreciate the congresswoman tonight coming in and looking for bigger and better things.

2961
05:38:05,280 --> 05:38:13,040
And I take what the chief said and what our staff's recommendation and great heart. We do ask

2962
05:38:13,040 --> 05:38:20,000
questions as we did with all the other reports. We ask where they're coming from. Why are they saying that?

2963
05:38:22,080 --> 05:38:32,880
And at the end of the day, I am responsible for our own police and fire, local police and fire.

2964
05:38:33,520 --> 05:38:39,280
If the chief had come up and said, well, you know, at times we don't identify beside being

2965
05:38:39,280 --> 05:38:46,160
undercover and the exemptions they have. You know, we don't do it all the time but we'll try to do a

2966
05:38:46,160 --> 05:38:54,400
better job. I'll be the first one to say, now starting tomorrow. You are going to display your badge.

2967
05:38:54,400 --> 05:39:02,480
You are going to do it. Why? Because we are responsible for our local safety law enforcement

2968
05:39:02,480 --> 05:39:09,760
in the city of Burbank. I am not responsible for federal. It's something that

2969
05:39:10,560 --> 05:39:17,040
bigger, better legislators are working on it. And I hope they're successful in getting it through.

2970
05:39:17,040 --> 05:39:23,920
And I hope this will all go away because I like you. Seeing things on social media,

2971
05:39:23,920 --> 05:39:31,600
we see it on TV. And it's something you don't want to look at and you want to see. But I know there's

2972
05:39:31,600 --> 05:39:37,680
nothing in my capacity. A letter is not going to do anything. It really gives false expectation.

2973
05:39:37,680 --> 05:39:45,360
Hope that we actually did something. But we do need to do anything. The other concern and the chief

2974
05:39:45,440 --> 05:39:58,880
mentioned it is bringing attention to herself. And we've all seen the reaction that have come to

2975
05:39:58,880 --> 05:40:06,240
some cities because bringing attention to yourself. I'm not afraid to bring attention to herself fighting

2976
05:40:06,240 --> 05:40:13,680
the state because of housing issues, because of transportation issues. But when I start looking at

2977
05:40:13,680 --> 05:40:18,720
what's been happening to other cities and funding that's been taken away from them, including

2978
05:40:18,720 --> 05:40:24,240
universities, including a lot of, I mean, we see it on TV every morning, who lost how many millions

2979
05:40:24,240 --> 05:40:34,080
of dollars in funding? Again, a congresswoman Friedman is giving us money for things that we desperately

2980
05:40:34,080 --> 05:40:39,280
need in the city. I don't want that to be taken away because city of Burbank signed a letter that

2981
05:40:39,360 --> 05:40:45,120
has no meaning whatsoever. That is not going to make a change or a difference in what's happening

2982
05:40:45,120 --> 05:40:52,240
today. And it's not because I don't feel bad and it's not because I want transparency. It's because

2983
05:40:52,240 --> 05:40:58,960
I'm responsible for my local government and our chief has come to me and said, we want to stay neutral.

2984
05:40:58,960 --> 05:41:05,680
It's in our best interest because we already do this. So for that reason, I cannot continue supporting

2985
05:41:05,760 --> 05:41:11,440
because I don't want to lose funding and I know my voice is not going to have an impact on anybody.

2986
05:41:11,440 --> 05:41:22,240
So with that, I think I am declining to sign that letter or even send it on behalf of the city.

2987
05:41:22,240 --> 05:41:29,200
I think we need to keep our focus on local issues in this matter because nothing we're going to do

2988
05:41:29,200 --> 05:41:38,720
is going to make any difference. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Vice Mayor. It's real simple. If I'm

2989
05:41:38,720 --> 05:41:44,960
going to side with our residents and bail fugitives, I'm going to go on the side of our residents.

2990
05:41:47,280 --> 05:41:50,160
I do think that there would be unintended consequences.

2991
05:41:50,160 --> 05:41:59,760
You know, I'm kind of an impact guy. I do things that make impacts. When do addressing

2992
05:41:59,760 --> 05:42:05,760
in virtual signaling, with all due respect to the people involved in this bill, I don't think that

2993
05:42:05,760 --> 05:42:16,000
this bill does anything meaningful. If it did, I might think differently, but I think it's just

2994
05:42:16,000 --> 05:42:24,160
draws more spotlight to us than we need. So I'm in note and file.

2995
05:42:26,160 --> 05:42:31,280
All right. Thank you for your comments. So that was my agenda item.

2996
05:42:32,000 --> 05:42:37,920
And I asked to agenda this item, let us support for SB 805 because one of our charges as a counsel is to do

2997
05:42:37,920 --> 05:42:42,080
what is within our power to protect our residents and those in our permanent community.

2998
05:42:42,880 --> 05:42:47,920
SB 805 is a state-level bill that among other things attempts to help us protect our community

2999
05:42:47,920 --> 05:42:52,400
members from ICE and other authority impersonators. These impersonators are bad actor,

3000
05:42:52,400 --> 05:42:57,920
opportunists using this unique time in our history to take advantage of the gray cloud of confusion around

3001
05:42:57,920 --> 05:43:02,640
ICE rates, who act with plain clothes, masks, unmarked cars and most importantly not showing

3002
05:43:02,640 --> 05:43:08,960
badges or having personal identification. In particular, unidentified ICE impersonators targeting women

3003
05:43:09,200 --> 05:43:14,400
of color. Our two representatives, Caroline Menjavar and Nick Schultz and the Assembly,

3004
05:43:14,400 --> 05:43:20,560
are two of the co-signors of SB 805. They are showing in locked arms of solidarity and collaboration

3005
05:43:20,560 --> 05:43:25,360
across state bodies to do what they can to let us know that our community members safety is matter

3006
05:43:26,400 --> 05:43:31,760
that we are not okay with these bad actors taking advantage. While the points made that it may not

3007
05:43:31,760 --> 05:43:36,960
have an significant impact on our police departments, procedures are valid and it will have challenges

3008
05:43:36,960 --> 05:43:44,560
at the state level of implementation. It may not even do anything as you have said. It is also true

3009
05:43:44,800 --> 05:43:50,400
that this is the best attempt that we can make to address this issue at this time. The state level is where

3010
05:43:50,400 --> 05:43:56,240
it makes sense to have this conversation. This is where we can support our state representatives to help

3011
05:43:56,240 --> 05:44:01,760
them help us figure out how to protect our community. They are willing to put this up for a vote in the

3012
05:44:01,760 --> 05:44:06,720
assembly and to go to bat for us in the state. We can thank them for fighting for us for working

3013
05:44:06,720 --> 05:44:11,280
together and being willing to have this hard conversation at this difficult time by sending this letter

3014
05:44:11,280 --> 05:44:17,840
support. And some say that our city is not being affected by ICE impersonators like other cities are

3015
05:44:18,640 --> 05:44:24,400
and we may be not be seeing as many ICE rates here as other cities are seeing and that may be true

3016
05:44:25,200 --> 05:44:31,440
and then we may be drawing attention to ourselves. It is definitely happening in our region.

3017
05:44:32,080 --> 05:44:36,720
And it can happen in our city at any time. And even if it doesn't happen here,

3018
05:44:38,400 --> 05:44:45,120
we cannot sit idly by while we watch our neighbors deal with it and we sit back and we say nothing while

3019
05:44:45,120 --> 05:44:49,840
they are dealing with it. So we don't want to have attention on ourselves so the attention will be on the

3020
05:44:49,840 --> 05:44:57,040
other cities not us. I don't think that's a fair or very righteous or very proud stance to take.

3021
05:44:57,040 --> 05:45:00,160
So we must remember that the many of the people...

3022
05:45:00,000 --> 05:45:08,000
In our city, come here to work. They live in the cities and areas that are affected by this behavior. We're all connected.

3023
05:45:08,000 --> 05:45:15,000
So, staff reports says that other cities have already sent support, moderate park, paramount, Pasadena, and Hawthorne.

3024
05:45:15,000 --> 05:45:23,000
And I personally would be proud to add our city to that list and show our state representatives that we thank them for their support to help us.

3025
05:45:23,000 --> 05:45:36,000
And I also wanted to be known when our children look back at this video at this meeting, our future Burbank residents read our minutes of our decisions during this unique time that they see that the council did not stay silent.

3026
05:45:36,000 --> 05:45:44,000
They're proud of their past leaders of the city seeing leaders who understood the time we're in and we saw what is happening around us and we said something.

3027
05:45:44,000 --> 05:45:47,000
So I wanted to say something. And that's why I brought it up.

3028
05:45:47,000 --> 05:45:59,000
So, clearly, I support signing the letter because I did a jad dieset and I have these reasons, but I wanted to make the statement so the community knows why I brought it to us.

3029
05:45:59,000 --> 05:46:03,000
With that being said, I'd like to go on the record here, so if it's okay.

3030
05:46:03,000 --> 05:46:05,000
Just to put it to a vote.

3031
05:46:05,000 --> 05:46:15,000
I'd like to move that we forgo the customary second step in the additional agenda item process and send the enclosed letter of support for Senate Bill 805, the no vigilante exact.

3032
05:46:15,000 --> 05:46:25,000
To the original co-sponsors, a senator's session were in a Perez and senator Scott Weiner and to our state representatives senator Caroline Menjabar and assembly member Nick Schult.

3033
05:46:25,000 --> 05:46:27,000
I'll in second.

3034
05:46:27,000 --> 05:46:33,000
So first by council member Anthony second by vice mayor Takahashi, please call the vote.

3035
05:46:33,000 --> 05:46:34,000
Council member Anthony.

3036
05:46:34,000 --> 05:46:35,000
Yes.

3037
05:46:35,000 --> 05:46:36,000
Council member Molens.

3038
05:46:36,000 --> 05:46:37,000
No.

3039
05:46:37,000 --> 05:46:38,000
Council member Rosati.

3040
05:46:38,000 --> 05:46:39,000
No.

3041
05:46:39,000 --> 05:46:40,000
Vice Mayor Tagaashi.

3042
05:46:40,000 --> 05:46:41,000
Yes.

3043
05:46:41,000 --> 05:46:44,000
So the vote fails.

3044
05:46:45,000 --> 05:46:48,000
It is a note and file then, I guess, because of the vote feeling.

3045
05:46:48,000 --> 05:46:49,000
Okay.

3046
05:46:49,000 --> 05:46:50,000
All right.

3047
05:46:50,000 --> 05:46:53,000
Now we are near the end of the meeting.

3048
05:46:53,000 --> 05:46:54,000
We're almost there.

3049
05:46:54,000 --> 05:46:59,000
You think, well, not quite on time, but we haven't reached 11 yet.

3050
05:46:59,000 --> 05:47:02,000
We're 50 minutes behind.

3051
05:47:02,000 --> 05:47:03,000
Yeah.

3052
05:47:03,000 --> 05:47:04,000
Yeah.

3053
05:47:04,000 --> 05:47:05,000
All right.

3054
05:47:05,000 --> 05:47:12,000
So now we will hear council comments, including reporting on council committee assignments, attendance at conferences, regional meetings and community events.

3055
05:47:12,000 --> 05:47:15,000
Who would like to go first?

3056
05:47:15,000 --> 05:47:16,000
Council member Molens.

3057
05:47:16,000 --> 05:47:17,000
We'll go first.

3058
05:47:17,000 --> 05:47:18,000
Why not?

3059
05:47:18,000 --> 05:47:20,000
Okay.

3060
05:47:20,000 --> 05:47:21,000
July 30th.

3061
05:47:21,000 --> 05:47:26,000
I had a meeting at.

3062
05:47:26,000 --> 05:47:31,000
I can't even talk.

3063
05:47:31,000 --> 05:47:32,000
Sorry.

3064
05:47:32,000 --> 05:47:36,000
I had a meeting at mythical headquarters.

3065
05:47:36,000 --> 05:47:39,000
I didn't know which one I should read first.

3066
05:47:40,000 --> 05:47:48,000
Which it's a great, great place to visit.

3067
05:47:48,000 --> 05:47:50,000
You would never think it's there.

3068
05:47:50,000 --> 05:47:52,000
It's on victory.

3069
05:47:52,000 --> 05:47:57,000
All brick building, but they do a lot of YouTube filming.

3070
05:47:57,000 --> 05:48:01,000
And they have a whole set up, 150 employees.

3071
05:48:01,000 --> 05:48:07,000
It was a good tour to learn about their success.

3072
05:48:07,000 --> 05:48:12,000
And also showing us a part of where they do their filming.

3073
05:48:12,000 --> 05:48:18,000
So I was very pleased to have a conversation with them and understand about their operation.

3074
05:48:18,000 --> 05:48:21,000
The same day I had.

3075
05:48:21,000 --> 05:48:24,000
I went to the ribbon cutting and this is what I thought it was.

3076
05:48:24,000 --> 05:48:26,000
I did that first.

3077
05:48:26,000 --> 05:48:28,000
For the Ritzi.

3078
05:48:28,000 --> 05:48:33,000
I was there with council member Anthony in the vice mayor.

3079
05:48:33,000 --> 05:48:37,000
The solar project, which we're very excited about.

3080
05:48:37,000 --> 05:48:40,000
And we had the ribbon cutting that day.

3081
05:48:40,000 --> 05:48:45,000
Followed by a luncheon with the circus from the ANCA.

3082
05:48:45,000 --> 05:48:50,000
Had some updates about the Armenian community and some of the things they're working on.

3083
05:48:50,000 --> 05:48:52,000
And then.

3084
05:48:52,000 --> 05:48:56,000
Expo and I attended on Friday August 1st.

3085
05:48:56,000 --> 05:48:58,000
The expo.

3086
05:48:58,000 --> 05:49:04,000
I'm not going to call it job fair because I know that is not the right words to say.

3087
05:49:04,000 --> 05:49:10,000
But at the time when I went, there were about 800 to 1000 people in present.

3088
05:49:10,000 --> 05:49:12,000
So everyone was excited.

3089
05:49:12,000 --> 05:49:16,000
It was really a wonderful event of connection.

3090
05:49:16,000 --> 05:49:20,000
So I know that they're looking at looking changing the name maybe in the future.

3091
05:49:20,000 --> 05:49:23,000
So there's not that anticipation of I'm going to get hired.

3092
05:49:23,000 --> 05:49:26,000
Bring my resume to the fair.

3093
05:49:26,000 --> 05:49:31,000
Then I attended National Night Out.

3094
05:49:31,000 --> 05:49:36,000
And that again met with neighborhoods and a great success.

3095
05:49:36,000 --> 05:49:39,000
Congratulations to the police department.

3096
05:49:39,000 --> 05:49:42,000
As usual, all the departments that really involve.

3097
05:49:42,000 --> 05:49:48,000
And I went shout out to all the executives in the city manager.

3098
05:49:48,000 --> 05:49:50,000
Everyone was there this year.

3099
05:49:50,000 --> 05:49:55,000
I think all of you guys showed up, which I think is the first year and many years that I've seen everyone there.

3100
05:49:55,000 --> 05:49:57,000
So thank you.

3101
05:49:57,000 --> 05:50:03,000
Participation was very well noticed among the community there.

3102
05:50:03,000 --> 05:50:07,000
And then I attended yesterday.

3103
05:50:07,000 --> 05:50:12,000
The Burbank Lendale Pasadena Regional Housing Trust.

3104
05:50:12,000 --> 05:50:16,000
I attended that as the alternate on behalf of the mayor.

3105
05:50:16,000 --> 05:50:21,000
And I wanted to report that we awarded.

3106
05:50:22,000 --> 05:50:24,000
I have the amount here.

3107
05:50:24,000 --> 05:50:27,000
I think two million dollars per construction.

3108
05:50:27,000 --> 05:50:31,000
To a project for the city of Pasadena.

3109
05:50:31,000 --> 05:50:35,000
And it's called as for the transition age youth.

3110
05:50:35,000 --> 05:50:39,000
Which is very interesting because this is youth target.

3111
05:50:39,000 --> 05:50:43,000
You have to be between the age of 18 to 24.

3112
05:50:43,000 --> 05:50:45,000
And low income.

3113
05:50:45,000 --> 05:50:51,000
To qualify to be in the in this housing project.

3114
05:50:51,000 --> 05:50:53,000
57 units.

3115
05:50:53,000 --> 05:50:56,000
And you have just to prove that you're low income.

3116
05:50:56,000 --> 05:51:00,000
They're all studios and they allow you to live there.

3117
05:51:00,000 --> 05:51:06,000
And the good news is that they once you qualify and you get in.

3118
05:51:06,000 --> 05:51:12,000
They don't just kick you out because you know, you started working or making money.

3119
05:51:12,000 --> 05:51:17,000
So they just reevaluate and allow them to move on on their own.

3120
05:51:17,000 --> 05:51:23,000
So Pasadena started that and we did allocate the two million dollars for their project.

3121
05:51:23,000 --> 05:51:25,000
And that was it?

3122
05:51:25,000 --> 05:51:26,000
Thank you.

3123
05:51:26,000 --> 05:51:27,000
Okay.

3124
05:51:27,000 --> 05:51:28,000
Councilmember Anthony.

3125
05:51:28,000 --> 05:51:29,000
Thank you.

3126
05:51:29,000 --> 05:51:30,000
Yeah.

3127
05:51:30,000 --> 05:51:32,000
The 31st attended the Ritzzi.

3128
05:51:32,000 --> 05:51:35,000
That is a huge solar project.

3129
05:51:35,000 --> 05:51:38,000
That's going to be generating a lot of power.

3130
05:51:38,000 --> 05:51:39,000
Really great.

3131
05:51:39,000 --> 05:51:41,000
I attended the expo.

3132
05:51:41,000 --> 05:51:44,000
I got to introduce one of the panels.

3133
05:51:44,000 --> 05:51:51,000
That was talking about bringing jobs back, not just with tax credits.

3134
05:51:51,000 --> 05:51:55,000
But what different jurisdictions are doing.

3135
05:51:55,000 --> 05:51:58,000
I got a little bit of.

3136
05:51:58,000 --> 05:52:01,000
I got to put a little precursor at that panel about what we're doing.

3137
05:52:01,000 --> 05:52:05,000
So people were excited about all the changes we're making and what we're working on.

3138
05:52:05,000 --> 05:52:06,000
So that was great.

3139
05:52:06,000 --> 05:52:10,000
I also did take a moment to go upstairs.

3140
05:52:10,000 --> 05:52:12,000
We had a lot of workshops this year.

3141
05:52:12,000 --> 05:52:14,000
And it was packed.

3142
05:52:14,000 --> 05:52:18,000
Standing around the people were filing in twice as many people were there.

3143
05:52:18,000 --> 05:52:21,000
Then there were seats in all of those workshops.

3144
05:52:21,000 --> 05:52:23,000
So it was more than just a job fair.

3145
05:52:23,000 --> 05:52:25,000
It was an expo.

3146
05:52:25,000 --> 05:52:31,000
And I think that is exactly what it needs to be expanded upon in the future.

3147
05:52:31,000 --> 05:52:34,000
I went to the nonprofit coalition.

3148
05:52:34,000 --> 05:52:37,000
Back to school fair on August 2nd.

3149
05:52:37,000 --> 05:52:39,000
It was very well attended.

3150
05:52:39,000 --> 05:52:40,000
It was packed a lot of.

3151
05:52:40,000 --> 05:52:48,000
Our local nonprofits were there helping kids getting backpacks and school supplies and signing them up for.

3152
05:52:48,000 --> 05:52:51,000
Boys and girls club and scouts and all that other stuff.

3153
05:52:51,000 --> 05:52:53,000
So very well attended.

3154
05:52:53,000 --> 05:52:58,000
On August 7th went to a ribbon cutting for new path wellness center.

3155
05:52:58,000 --> 05:53:02,000
They've been around for a couple years, but they just joined the chamber of commerce.

3156
05:53:02,000 --> 05:53:07,000
And they're excited to get a larger interaction with local economy.

3157
05:53:07,000 --> 05:53:10,000
And then lastly, on August 9th.

3158
05:53:10,000 --> 05:53:14,000
I saw Constable Rosati and our city manager at the Starlight on tour.

3159
05:53:14,000 --> 05:53:19,000
That was a huge concert in the park in the Cambridge.

3160
05:53:19,000 --> 05:53:26,000
And I'm very excited to say that I caught a t-shirt that was shot from the t-shirt canon.

3161
05:53:26,000 --> 05:53:31,000
It was very cool because the air caught it and that doesn't fit me at all.

3162
05:53:31,000 --> 05:53:33,000
It was a youth medium.

3163
05:53:33,000 --> 05:53:34,000
Were they aiming at you?

3164
05:53:34,000 --> 05:53:35,000
No.

3165
05:53:35,000 --> 05:53:37,000
They were not.

3166
05:53:37,000 --> 05:53:39,000
No, they were launching that at random.

3167
05:53:39,000 --> 05:53:41,000
And I had to like step over.

3168
05:53:41,000 --> 05:53:42,000
Yeah.

3169
05:53:42,000 --> 05:53:44,000
It was a Western.

3170
05:53:44,000 --> 05:53:47,000
No, I stepped over our picnic.

3171
05:53:47,000 --> 05:53:49,000
Anyway, I almost fell.

3172
05:53:49,000 --> 05:53:52,000
But I caught it.

3173
05:53:52,000 --> 05:53:54,000
Thank you.

3174
05:53:54,000 --> 05:53:55,000
Council member Rosati.

3175
05:53:55,000 --> 05:54:00,000
On Thursday, August 7th, I attended the Royal Virgil Community GPA meeting.

3176
05:54:00,000 --> 05:54:04,000
On Saturday, the ninth.

3177
05:54:04,000 --> 05:54:12,000
I attended the Burbank Rancho Neighborhood's specific plan pop up in over by.

3178
05:54:12,000 --> 05:54:14,000
To the millions.

3179
05:54:14,000 --> 05:54:15,000
Very well attended.

3180
05:54:15,000 --> 05:54:18,000
And there were three horses there.

3181
05:54:18,000 --> 05:54:19,000
They walked them.

3182
05:54:19,000 --> 05:54:22,000
They walked them over to the to the millions.

3183
05:54:22,000 --> 05:54:23,000
So.

3184
05:54:23,000 --> 05:54:25,000
A lot of good comments.

3185
05:54:25,000 --> 05:54:28,000
A lot of good comments.

3186
05:54:28,000 --> 05:54:35,000
And good, you know, good comments and very staff and took input well.

3187
05:54:35,000 --> 05:54:37,000
And there was a lot of good synergy.

3188
05:54:37,000 --> 05:54:39,000
So I like what I saw there.

3189
05:54:39,000 --> 05:54:40,000
And then.

3190
05:54:40,000 --> 05:54:44,000
I also attended the Starlight on tour Centennial Bash.

3191
05:54:44,000 --> 05:54:46,000
And there were a lot of department.

3192
05:54:46,000 --> 05:54:49,000
Staff there that participated.

3193
05:54:49,000 --> 05:54:50,000
That.

3194
05:54:50,000 --> 05:54:55,000
Parks and Rec just did such a great job of setting up the booths.

3195
05:54:55,000 --> 05:54:56,000
Taking down the booths.

3196
05:54:56,000 --> 05:55:02,000
And of course moving on to the concert portion of that.

3197
05:55:02,000 --> 05:55:03,000
All I saw were.

3198
05:55:03,000 --> 05:55:05,000
Burbank Park and Rec shirts everywhere.

3199
05:55:05,000 --> 05:55:07,000
So I don't know how many people we had there.

3200
05:55:07,000 --> 05:55:10,000
But everyone was working hard to make sure he was having a good time.

3201
05:55:10,000 --> 05:55:14,000
So just could those to that department for putting on a great.

3202
05:55:14,000 --> 05:55:15,000
Bash.

3203
05:55:15,000 --> 05:55:16,000
And it was free.

3204
05:55:16,000 --> 05:55:17,000
By the way.

3205
05:55:17,000 --> 05:55:19,000
All right.

3206
05:55:19,000 --> 05:55:20,000
Thank you.

3207
05:55:20,000 --> 05:55:21,000
Let's see.

3208
05:55:21,000 --> 05:55:22,000
On the 31st.

3209
05:55:22,000 --> 05:55:23,000
I was at the Britsy as well.

3210
05:55:23,000 --> 05:55:27,000
And all to highlight the that particular.

3211
05:55:27,000 --> 05:55:31,000
Project is the first large scale solar project in Burbank.

3212
05:55:31,000 --> 05:55:35,000
It's our own only locally sourced.

3213
05:55:35,000 --> 05:55:37,000
Project of solar.

3214
05:55:37,000 --> 05:55:41,000
And also all of the material was made in America.

3215
05:55:41,000 --> 05:55:43,000
So that's pretty cool.

3216
05:55:43,000 --> 05:55:46,000
And then later that afternoon after several meetings.

3217
05:55:46,000 --> 05:55:48,000
I came back to my office.

3218
05:55:48,000 --> 05:55:52,000
And I went downstairs to CSB went to the employee ice cream social.

3219
05:55:52,000 --> 05:55:53,000
And I had.

3220
05:55:53,000 --> 05:55:54,000
I'll use right you right there.

3221
05:55:54,000 --> 05:55:55,000
That's right.

3222
05:55:55,000 --> 05:55:58,000
Had ice cream at the ice cream social.

3223
05:55:58,000 --> 05:56:05,000
And then on the first went to the media expo.

3224
05:56:05,000 --> 05:56:08,000
And by the way, I got awesome feedback about the workshops.

3225
05:56:08,000 --> 05:56:09,000
And about your panel.

3226
05:56:09,000 --> 05:56:11,000
Lots of folks enjoyed that.

3227
05:56:11,000 --> 05:56:13,000
Also the line for the headshots.

3228
05:56:13,000 --> 05:56:15,000
And for the resume writing was very long.

3229
05:56:15,000 --> 05:56:17,000
People were appreciative of that.

3230
05:56:17,000 --> 05:56:18,000
Headshots can be expensive.

3231
05:56:18,000 --> 05:56:20,000
So you know having those headshots for free.

3232
05:56:21,000 --> 05:56:22,000
August 4th.

3233
05:56:22,000 --> 05:56:29,000
I was at the San Fernando Valley cog transportation committee where the cog voted to support our all of bridge request for funding.

3234
05:56:29,000 --> 05:56:35,000
So hopefully that'll go to the main cog and hopefully that will get approved for support too.

3235
05:56:35,000 --> 05:56:36,000
On the fifth national line out.

3236
05:56:36,000 --> 05:56:39,000
I got to ride with the chief Quintaro, which is fun.

3237
05:56:39,000 --> 05:56:40,000
Yeah.

3238
05:56:40,000 --> 05:56:42,000
And then on the six.

3239
05:56:42,000 --> 05:56:44,000
I went to the.

3240
05:56:44,000 --> 05:56:45,000
Wait, hold on.

3241
05:56:45,000 --> 05:56:46,000
You got to ride.

3242
05:56:46,000 --> 05:56:47,000
What do you mean?

3243
05:56:47,000 --> 05:56:48,000
Yeah.

3244
05:56:48,000 --> 05:56:49,000
She drove around to all the different.

3245
05:56:49,000 --> 05:56:50,000
That's cool.

3246
05:56:50,000 --> 05:56:51,000
Uh-huh.

3247
05:56:51,000 --> 05:56:52,000
It's fun.

3248
05:56:52,000 --> 05:56:53,000
We went to three.

3249
05:56:53,000 --> 05:56:54,000
How many did you guys go to?

3250
05:56:54,000 --> 05:56:55,000
How much of three?

3251
05:56:55,000 --> 05:56:57,000
We only went to two.

3252
05:56:57,000 --> 05:57:01,000
Because we had a lot longer conversations going on there.

3253
05:57:01,000 --> 05:57:02,000
Yeah.

3254
05:57:02,000 --> 05:57:03,000
And I.

3255
05:57:03,000 --> 05:57:04,000
I.

3256
05:57:04,000 --> 05:57:05,000
I rode with captain Reese.

3257
05:57:05,000 --> 05:57:07,000
So you go with the friend captain or the chief.

3258
05:57:07,000 --> 05:57:08,000
Yeah.

3259
05:57:08,000 --> 05:57:09,000
If you go with the chief.

3260
05:57:09,000 --> 05:57:11,000
Everyone wants to talk to the chief.

3261
05:57:11,000 --> 05:57:12,000
And then on the six.

3262
05:57:12,000 --> 05:57:16,000
I went to the Valley Economic Alliance environment subcommittee.

3263
05:57:16,000 --> 05:57:22,000
I talked about the regional kind of environment plan for businesses and roadbap.

3264
05:57:22,000 --> 05:57:24,000
Then on the 12.

3265
05:57:24,000 --> 05:57:26,000
That's today earlier today.

3266
05:57:26,000 --> 05:57:31,000
I had a meeting with representative from Nick Schultz office about SB 79.

3267
05:57:31,000 --> 05:57:32,000
And about the details about that.

3268
05:57:32,000 --> 05:57:35,000
By the way, August 29th is a key date for SB 29th.

3269
05:57:35,000 --> 05:57:39,000
That's when we're going to know whether it comes out of the appropriations or not.

3270
05:57:39,000 --> 05:57:42,000
So that's it's an August 29th.

3271
05:57:42,000 --> 05:57:45,000
Well, it'll either stay in appropriations for another year.

3272
05:57:45,000 --> 05:57:48,000
Or it'll be released in the next assembly of a vote on it.

3273
05:57:48,000 --> 05:57:52,000
And then so many meetings this past two weeks.

3274
05:57:52,000 --> 05:57:53,000
My calendar was full.

3275
05:57:53,000 --> 05:57:55,000
I think my zoom was smoking.

3276
05:57:55,000 --> 05:57:58,000
And then I also drank a lot of coffee with all the meetings.

3277
05:57:58,000 --> 05:57:59,000
I have this past couple weeks.

3278
05:57:59,000 --> 05:58:00,000
I love talking to people.

3279
05:58:00,000 --> 05:58:02,000
But it can be a lot.

3280
05:58:02,000 --> 05:58:03,000
All right.

3281
05:58:03,000 --> 05:58:04,000
That's all I got.

3282
05:58:04,000 --> 05:58:05,000
And see.

3283
05:58:05,000 --> 05:58:08,000
Now's the time for introduction of additional agenda items.

3284
05:58:08,000 --> 05:58:09,000
Do you.

3285
05:58:09,000 --> 05:58:10,000
Yes.

3286
05:58:10,000 --> 05:58:11,000
Council member.

3287
05:58:11,000 --> 05:58:12,000
Thank you.

3288
05:58:12,000 --> 05:58:14,000
Thank you.

3289
05:58:14,000 --> 05:58:20,000
The report on the potential cost of fully painting our red curves at crosswalks.

3290
05:58:20,000 --> 05:58:36,000
And the funding of a study for findings with the expressed intent of a long-term plan to create an exemption for the city of a bank with regards to AB 413.

3291
05:58:36,000 --> 05:58:42,000
And apply for possible state grants to fund that.

3292
05:58:42,000 --> 05:58:43,000
Got it.

3293
05:58:43,000 --> 05:58:44,000
Thank you.

3294
05:58:44,000 --> 05:58:45,000
Anyone else?

3295
05:58:45,000 --> 05:58:46,000
Council member.

3296
05:58:46,000 --> 05:58:47,000
Want?

3297
05:58:47,000 --> 05:58:48,000
Yes.

3298
05:58:48,000 --> 05:59:02,000
I'd also like to ask for a first step report regarding the letter that was submitted from the Burbank Association of Realtor in the one Mr. Tomarian spoke about today.

3299
05:59:02,000 --> 05:59:04,000
And I have a copy.

3300
05:59:04,000 --> 05:59:05,000
Sure.

3301
05:59:05,000 --> 05:59:07,000
To specifically do what?

3302
05:59:08,000 --> 05:59:13,000
It addresses the terminology and policy relating to housing providers.

3303
05:59:13,000 --> 05:59:14,000
Got it.

3304
05:59:14,000 --> 05:59:15,000
And I don't.

3305
05:59:15,000 --> 05:59:16,000
Not sure if you see.

3306
05:59:16,000 --> 05:59:17,000
Okay.

3307
05:59:17,000 --> 05:59:18,000
We got a copy.

3308
05:59:18,000 --> 05:59:19,000
It's the same copy that I have right here.

3309
05:59:19,000 --> 05:59:21,000
You guys got copies, right?

3310
05:59:21,000 --> 05:59:22,000
Okay.

3311
05:59:22,000 --> 05:59:23,000
That's members on him.

3312
05:59:23,000 --> 05:59:24,000
You neither.

3313
05:59:24,000 --> 05:59:25,000
All right.

3314
05:59:25,000 --> 05:59:27,000
So now we adjourn the meeting to Tuesday.

3315
05:59:27,000 --> 05:59:28,000
August 26.

3316
05:59:28,000 --> 05:59:29,000
25.

3317
05:59:29,000 --> 05:59:31,000
For a joint meeting in the council chamber.

3318
05:59:31,000 --> 05:59:33,000
275 East Olive Avenue.

3319
05:59:33,000 --> 05:59:34,000
Second floor.

3320
05:59:34,000 --> 05:59:35,000
Thank you.

3321
05:59:35,000 --> 05:59:36,000
And we made it right before 11.

3322
05:59:36,000 --> 05:59:37,000
Okay.

3323
05:59:37,000 --> 05:59:38,000
Yes.
