um I would also like to take this

359
00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:12,520
opportunity as you know Council has been

360
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,640
uh working on Outreach for quite a while

361
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,200
regarding districting and a couple of us

362
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,880
advis uh us to wait until the Santa

363
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880
Monica case against districting was

364
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,200
resolved well Santa Monica was

365
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,120
successful in their case so my question

366
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:30,400
now is should we keep moving and rushing

367
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,640
forward or should we pause the decision

368
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,080
by the courts bodess well for Glendale

369
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,320
not being forced into districting and an

370
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,000
elected mayor again I ask should we

371
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,720
pause on this action this is a

372
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,080
rhetorical question and I'm only telling

373
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,720
this so that our residents know the

374
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,440
outcome of that case thank you thank you

375
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,320
mayor thank you and when we're finish

376
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,080
this Council comments I will ask the

377
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,600
City attorney to say a word because um

378
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,880
depending depending on what you read

379
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,120
I've I've read that Santa Monica lost

380
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,240
I've read that Santa Monica won and I've

381
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,520
read things in between so I'm not sure

382
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:11,120
we know yet um but um let me turn to my

383
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:14,240
colleagues any comments council member

384
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,840
of Satan um I actually have a couple of

385
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,400
things um one is I noticed that we have

386
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,159
a counseling your neighborhood uh coming

387
00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:24,159
up um I think one of the recommendations

388
00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:26,919
I had made to staff uh after the last

389
00:23:26,919 --> 00:23:30,760
one was for us to do um Outreach whether

390
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520
it's flyers in that neighborhood or

391
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,440
using data that we have to reach our

392
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,720
residents within that neighborhood um to

393
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,360
get folks to actually come to these uh

394
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,799
counseling your neighborhoods I think

395
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:44,360
the one that we had in the Rancher was

396
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,159
very successful uh the one that we had

397
00:23:47,159 --> 00:23:52,159
in um at the Pacific uh Park not so much

398
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,799
and so um I think it would be important

399
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,200
if we are doing these um for the

400
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,559
community to be made aware and that it's

401
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:03,080
not just an agenda item that's placed um

402
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
on Sunday U mayor bman and I uh attended

403
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,880
the grand reopening of the montro uh

404
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,720
Bowl um they have done a fantastic job

405
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,480
at uh uh keeping the 1940s theme and

406
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,039
Lanes uh got to throw some bowling balls

407
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:25,760
uh down that lane um and they've

408
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,200
Incorporated an all vegan and all kosher

409
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,640
kitchen uh I have to say they you know I

410
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,720
was skeptical as I always am um about

411
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,200
something being called chicken but it's

412
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,520
not um it was possibly the best hot

413
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,840
chicken sandwich I've had um I know that

414
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,799
they're going to be doing a community

415
00:24:43,799 --> 00:24:46,760
event um uh as their part of their

416
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,399
opening and so I look forward to sharing

417
00:24:49,399 --> 00:24:51,600
that um or have staff share that when we

418
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,159
get it um this last week I also had

419
00:24:55,159 --> 00:24:58,640
scheduled a meeting with our staff and

420
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,480
La County's um Economic Development

421
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,760
Department and procurement uh office um

422
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,840
for us to take a look at um how we can

423
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,640
move forward with the locally owned

424
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,640
minority and and women-owned uh test

425
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,320
that we have as part of the work plan um

426
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,679
one of the things that we learned

427
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:19,600
through that process is that the LA

428
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,679
county is currently going through a

429
00:25:22,679 --> 00:25:25,080
revamp of their own procurement process

430
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,520
and kind of building out um different

431
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,760
methods of communication and uh

432
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,480
databases and so forth one of the things

433
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,640
I did mention was the opportunity for us

434
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,480
to obtain the information that they have

435
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760
um and for that data sharing to be uh

436
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,279
something that's automatic and it's not

437
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:46,799
something that we're requesting through

438
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,600
our different departments um I know that

439
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,120
they're putting together a task force

440
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,840
for some reason glendel is not part of

441
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,320
that so one of my requests was also to

442
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,640
uh invite glendell to the table and for

443
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,919
us to have input um in that process that

444
00:26:01,919 --> 00:26:07,320
they have um and then lastly um last

445
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,279
week we um you know recognized women's

446
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:13,399

programming and this morning I saw that

448
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:19,720
we are having a webinar tomorrow

449
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,559

know local minority or women owned um to

463
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,279
with um the opportunities that council

464
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:07,039
member Divine was talking

465
00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:10,200
about thank you thank you thank you

466
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,950
council member

467
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,720
kakan um I don't have anything but I I

468
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,200
don't know I'm looking for the the an

469
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,919
article that would affirm what my

470
00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:24,440
colleague council member dine derived

471
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,760
from the court case and I'm having

472
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,480
trouble finding including Santa Monica's

473
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,559
own City website which says City

474
00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:33,120
statement on California Supreme Court

475
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:36,520
opinion on CV case says the city is

476
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,080
reviewing the Supreme Court's opinion

477
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,039
and working to assess the path forward

478
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,200
and there's a number of others as well

479
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,440
that uh here's another

480
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,420
headline um that

481
00:27:48,420 --> 00:27:50,840
[Music]

482
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,559
says well I'll tell you none of them say

483
00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:56,720
what I think a council member Divine so

484
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,320
strongly feels it said so um I would

485
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,840
also like to understand whether this

486
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,279
somehow puts Glendale in the clear or is

487
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:09,640
a uh sweeping decision that that is that

488
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,480
some are trying to make the public

489
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,279
believe it

490
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:16,080
is um other than that I honestly don't

steps to address this issue including

541
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,679
and I'll just name some of the things

542
00:30:53,679 --> 00:30:58,120
that were um that were discussed uh one

543
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,120
introduce a un Security Council

544
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,360
resolution which would require azerbajan

545
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,799
to adhere to a February 2023 order by

546
00:31:06,799 --> 00:31:09,120
the international court of justice to

547
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,320
open the Locking carridor which is how

548
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,519
uh materials can enter the Republic of

549
00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:17,919
artak um halt all US military assistance

550
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:22,080
to azerbijan it is quite uh shocking

551
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,039
that the United States still is

552
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:27,679
providing military assistance to aeran

553
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:30,120
uh impose sanctions on members of the

554
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,240
alv regime under the magnitsky act for

555
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080
war crimes crimes against humanity

556
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,440
deliver humanitarian assistance to artso

557
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,320
through the carer uh at the scale needed

558
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,320
to address the humanitarian catastrophe

559
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
and last but not least introduce a un

560
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Security Council resolution establishing

561
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,399
a peacekeeping mission in artach to

562
00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:59,679
protect the um the the safety of um the

563
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:03,600
population there over time um one thing

564
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,360
that was mentioned um which uh doesn't

565
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,000
necessarily uh do anything to resolve

566
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,360
the situation but um it does bring

567
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,000
attention to it the LA City Council uh

568
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,320
named the intersection in front of the

569
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,880
aeri consulate which is uh Wilshire and

570
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Granville Avenue Republic of artso

571
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,880
square uh so signs will be going up

572
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,000
maybe they've already gone up

573
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,840
um at that location right in front of

574
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,480
the aeran consulate um and uh for what

575
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,240
it's worth I think that's uh that's

576
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,799
something that does uh does uh send a

577
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:45,600
strong symbolic message um so I just

578
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,679
wanted to share that um that we were

579
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:51,399
there and that we we support these

580
00:32:51,399 --> 00:32:53,279
um

581
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:56,320
uh these actions that were calling on

582
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,919
the Biden admin Administration the US

583
00:32:57,919 --> 00:33:01,039
state department to uh undertake okay so

584
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:03,880
that was one um changing subjects

585
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,679
entirely I attended um the first edible

586
00:33:07,679 --> 00:33:12,039
food recovery stakeholder meeting um as

587
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:14,639
many of you may know um under Senate

588
00:33:14,639 --> 00:33:15,399
Bill

589
00:33:15,399 --> 00:33:18,159
1383 in addition to sorting organic

590
00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:21,279
waste um there are requirements uh

591
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,080
involving recovery of edible food that

592
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,840
would otherwise get thrown away so um

593
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,840
uh this was a uh one of I think several

594
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,760
meetings uh that will be taking place

595
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,240
this one for um organizations that are

596
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,559
collecting edible food from the

597
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:42,200
generators of edible food um to

598
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,559
distribute either directly to people in

599
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:48,080
need or to other food banks um and they

600
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,600
got together they discussed the

601
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,880
challenges that that they have it it is

602
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,440
actually very

603
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,360
complex um and uh and the the the idea

604
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,840
was to identify resources share uh share

605
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,799
experiences and start the conversation

606
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:06,840
um future meetings uh will include some

607
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,280
of the large um producers of um edible

608
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,000
food that would otherwise go to waste

609
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,200
like supermarkets and and

610
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,919
restaurants uh

611
00:34:16,919 --> 00:34:19,960
hotels uh conference facilities that

612
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,919
kind of thing um so they had there were

613
00:34:22,919 --> 00:34:25,760
a number of people at this event um YWCA

614
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Salvation Army Glend College Catholic

615
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,200
Charities uh The Armenian Relief Society

616
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,760
Porto uh Betty Porto was there uh the

617
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,359
City of Burbank was there the First

618
00:34:35,359 --> 00:34:37,879
Baptist Church and a number of others uh

619
00:34:37,879 --> 00:34:40,399
it was uh it was interesting and I look

620
00:34:40,399 --> 00:34:44,399
forward to seeing us continue to um make

621
00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:46,040
progress on this

622
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,839
front and um the Montrose Bowl my

623
00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:51,800
colleague already mentioned uh we got to

624
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,960
throw uh a few um what do you call it

625
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,440
throw a few balls I guess you call it

626
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,400
uh what's that bowling balls yeah

627
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,240
bowling balls but um and uh I probably

628
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:05,079
got the gutter more often than I got

629
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:06,960
anything else but

630
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,400
um it was fun anyway and and I will say

631
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,000
I agree this this vegan food was really

632
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,920
pretty uh pretty incredible uh and they

633
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,760
also have a great collection of craft

634
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,960
beers some on top so if you if you like

635
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,200
that kind of thing are you rubbing your

636
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,320
hands like you want to get over there to

637
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,079
have some beer Orin disinfect okay as

638
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:32,079
soon as I said beer I saw you going like

639
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:34,160
that but anyway it's a they really did a

640
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,599
nice job so if you can get on over there

641
00:35:36,599 --> 00:35:38,800
I think that was a soft opening and I

642
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,119
think they're probably open in the next

643
00:35:40,119 --> 00:35:41,280
couple days so they going to send

644
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,599
something to everyone for the coming

645
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:44,520
they are and then they're going to have

646
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,000
an event I think at the end of the month

647
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,079
but I think they're actually going to be

648
00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:49,440
open like you can go and I think if you

649
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,119
go and you order food the bowling is

650
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:53,680
free it's really focused on the food and

651
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,680
the bowling is kind of to bring you

652
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,200
there to eat the food I guess yes so

653
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,400
bowling is free um okay so just the last

654
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,800
thing I I um I know that we're now um

655
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,960
we've now established these um panels to

656
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,800
select members of our boards and

657
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,599
commissions and one thing we haven't

658
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:15,440
discussed and I was hoping we could try

659
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,880
to clarify is our process for um uh

660
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,520
notifying the public that there's an

661
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,720
opportunity on a border commission uh uh

662
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:28,839
soliciting applications and then doing

663
00:36:28,839 --> 00:36:31,359
interviews and so I would I would

664
00:36:31,359 --> 00:36:34,319
suggest that we look at some kind of a

665
00:36:34,319 --> 00:36:39,240
system for example um once we notice uh

666
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:40,720
the public that this position is

667
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:43,880
available we have a 30-day period uh for

668
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,119
people to put in applications we wait

669
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:48,720
the 30 days we collect them we interview

670
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,680
the applicants um and we make our

671
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,480
selection and I would also ask us to

672
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,960
consider making the all all the

673
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,960
applications public they are public

674
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,200
record anyway but it would be good for

675
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,920
the public to understand who we've

676
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,839
selected and who we haven't selected um

677
00:37:06,839 --> 00:37:09,640
The Only Exception I would say perhaps

678
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,240
is if we are extending or renominating

679
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,480
reappointing somebody I should say who

680
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,280
is already an incumbent on a border

681
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,400
commission for a second term I think if

682
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,480
we have somebody that we want to

683
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,680
renominate we probably don't need to go

684
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,240
through this 30-day period but anyway um

685
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:27,800
I don't want I'm being fairly

686
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,400
prescriptive about this but I know this

687
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,760
is something that we we can discuss and

688
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000
and I'd like to put this on a future

689
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,240
agenda to to um just to clarify our

690
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,520
process council member kasaka I I I

691
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,000
don't know did you mention Alex Film

692
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,240
Society I did not okay okay and I I am

693
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:48,160
finished um do you want to mention that

694
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,560
yeah I I just want to mention uh thank

695
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,119
Alex Film Society and the glendel

696
00:37:52,119 --> 00:37:54,200
Historical Society uh there was a

697
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,160
showing of the classic film noir mild

698
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,119
Mildred Pierce which for those of you

699
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:03,800
who may not know is was a novel set in

700
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,560
Glendale made into a um Hollywood movie

701
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,160
for which I believe it was Joan Crawford

702
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,359
who won an Academy Award uh I think her

703
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:13,480
only Academy Award I learned and then it

704
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,839
was recently remade um uh as a film

705
00:38:16,839 --> 00:38:19,400
starring Kate Winslet but it's all about

706
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,920
a woman who rises from nothing to uh

707
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,480
become a very successful businesswoman

708
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,839
all right from here in Glendale in the

709
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:30,119
original black and white film um there

710
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:31,560
are scenes that were filmed here in

711
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,119
Glendale it was my first time seeing it

712
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:34,800
I thought it was great and more

713
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,480
importantly I thought that um lawn area

714
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,400
using the city's uh LED screen was a

715
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,160
great great um uh combination of

716
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,160
organizations working together um having

717
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,839
an outdoor movie night hopefully they'll

718
00:38:48,839 --> 00:38:52,480

00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,119
Santa Monica regarding the scope of the

739
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:42,160
California Voting Rights Act and whether

740
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,040
or not vote voter vote dilution which is

741
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,240
a a term of art meaning a process that

742
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:49,760
where an election system dilutes the

743
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,800
votes of pro protected class or minority

744
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,240
group and so one of the questions in

745
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:56,680
that case was whether or not that was a

746
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,280
required element uh in a voter uh

747
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,160
California Voting Rights Act case and

748
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,880
then if so what's the test well how do

749
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,880
you how do you prove vote vote dilution

750
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,200
so um the Supreme Court you know I I I

751
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,680
hesitate to say there was a Victor and a

752
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,599
loser because although it did reverse

753
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:14,119
the decision the court of appeal it did

754
00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:16,319
remand it back to the court of appeal

755
00:40:16,319 --> 00:40:20,040
for further analysis and uh essentially

756
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,800
what it said is you had to prove vote

757
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,640
dilution in in making such a claim and

758
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,680
that to show that uh vote Dil

759
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,480
established when under some lawful

760
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,599
alternative election system the minority

761
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:32,160
group would have the potential on its

762
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,119
own or with the help of crossover voters

763
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:36,200
to elect its preferred candidate and

764
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,280
that this can be shown through

765
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,480
evaluation of the facts and

766
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,240
circumstances of the jurisdiction

767
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:42,480
including the local agency circumstances

768
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,960
its election history and the design and

769
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,319
impact of the current system as well as

770
00:40:47,319 --> 00:40:49,520
an alternative system so that's a that's

771
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,720
a lot there that's a mouthful um a lot

772
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:53,200
of lawyers are still looking at this and

773
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,960
seeing what it means we are going to

774
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,400
look at it our team is going to look at

775
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,680
at it and obviously because it involves

776
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,480
legal risk the assessment of legal risk

777
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,520
it will be a discussion for you know

778
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,520
close session uh but we will provide

779
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,119
that information to you you'll have it

780
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:08,720
before we get into the next round of

781
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:11,200
public hearings uh on our districting

782
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,720
process okay but would you say just just

783
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:17,560
I I always like to simplify things I

784
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,440
know you can't simplify things like this

785
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,359
but it was not a victory an outright

786
00:41:22,359 --> 00:41:24,359
victory for either party for Santa

787
00:41:24,359 --> 00:41:26,800
Monica or for

788
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,160
that's a fair assessment

789
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,839
correct okay and it's it's still then

790
00:41:31,839 --> 00:41:33,680
the waters are still kind of murky as

791
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,680
far as yes what it takes to bring these

792
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,640
types of cases what it takes to defend

793
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,079
against these types of cases right what

794
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:42,680
it what it takes to prove that various

795
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:43,960
elements of a voting rights case

796
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,680
especially vote dilution and I'll note

797
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,040
you know uh the plaintiffs won in the

798
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,440
trial court Santa Monica won in the

799
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,480
court of appeal and you're right the

800
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,079
court of appeal although reversed the

801
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:56,040
the victory that Santa mon Santa Monica

802
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,520
got in the in the court of appeal

803
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,680
decision it it remanded it for further

804
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,280
analysis so there's no there's no

805
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,920
conclusion to that case they're still

806
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,400
either going to have to litigate that or

807
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,160

00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:23,069
visibility crosswalks to improve

924
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:25,240
safety the project is funded through

925
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:27,880
three different sources measure W from

926
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,880
the county state gas tax funds and the

927
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,599
grant that was mentioned previously from

928
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:35,319
calr the clean Calfornia Grant of nearly

929
00:47:35,319 --> 00:47:36,359
$5

930
00:47:36,359 --> 00:47:39,720
million the important item to to

931
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:41,400
understand regarding that Grant is it

932
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,559
has a deadline to have the project

933
00:47:43,559 --> 00:47:47,040
constructed by June end of June 2024 so

934
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,440
that deadline plays into uh the

935
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,040
decisions being made in terms of being

936
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,319
able to have this project built and the

937
00:47:53,319 --> 00:47:58,309
grant funds expended by that date

938
00:47:58,319 --> 00:47:59,920
so a little bit about the existing

939
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,480
conditions along San Fernando Road this

940
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,400
is a major Arterial Highway four lanes

941
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,359
in each Direction along a commercial

942
00:48:07,359 --> 00:48:09,359
Corridor with businesses and on street

943
00:48:09,359 --> 00:48:12,240
parking on the east side and the metr

944
00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:15,480
Link rail Corridor on the west side so

945
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,400
this constrains our Corridor we're

946
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,359
looking at a 62t width curb to curb to

947
00:48:20,359 --> 00:48:23,960
fit the elements out there today and any

948
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,040
additional elements we want to add is

949
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,200
competing for that real estate within

950
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,000
the street so this is the constrained

951
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,960
canvas that we have to work with as we

952
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,599
develop the

953
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:38,480
project we're also looking at the

954
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,240
facilities that exist out there today

955
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,760
that were either planned or implemented

956
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,240
um starting with the 2012 bicycle master

957
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:48,400
plan uh this did include a class one

958
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,160
facility along San Fernando Road located

959
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,040
inside the railroad ride of way

960
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,400
unfortunately this Metro owned Corridor

961
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,880
with Metro Link and the future

962
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,799
High-Speed Rail that is no longer an

963
00:49:00,799 --> 00:49:02,799
option to locate this inside the

964
00:49:02,799 --> 00:49:05,559
railroad R of way there was also as part

965
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:07,040
of that plan a number of east west

966
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,270
connections to San Fernando Road from

967
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,720
Glendale since then there has been

968
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:15,559
improvements implemented through the

969
00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:18,000
corridor uh primarily the Glend Del

970
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,720
Naros River Walk uh north of the

971
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:24,799
134 along Fairmont where the uh Phase 1

972
00:49:24,799 --> 00:49:27,280
and phase two pathway in Confluence Park

973
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,160
has been

974
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,760
completed phase three is the bridge that

975
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,920
would extend from Flower Street over to

976
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,760
the LA side at zoo drive and that is

977
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,839
currently in the design phase that

978
00:49:38,839 --> 00:49:40,760
project has been funded through another

979
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,359
Grant uh believe the prop 68 grant for

980
00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:46,680
that so that item is moving

981
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,440
forward additionally LA Metro has

982
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,200
funding and is currently planning and

983
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,680
designing additional active transport

984
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,000
ation improvements in this vicinity that

985
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
include a new bridge that would span

986
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,599
over San Fernando Road and the metr link

987
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:05,440
Corridor at Dorn Street once that

988
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,000
Crossing is closed this would be the

989
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,520
measure to be able to get pedestrians

990
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,599
and cyclists over San Fernando Road and

991
00:50:11,599 --> 00:50:14,920
the rail corridor from Dorne Street that

992
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,839
path would extend down to the end of the

993
00:50:17,839 --> 00:50:20,440
uh Dorne Street at the culdesac then

994
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,720
continue North with a new bridge that

995
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,119
would span over the verdigo wash and

996
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:27,559
connect to your Glendale Narrows

997
00:50:27,559 --> 00:50:30,880
Riverwalk project so that would provide

998
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,480
continuity to the north and south of the

999
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,640
134 in the Vero wash and it also opens

1000
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,480
up the opportunity for future expansion

1001
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,319
of the bike path along the east Bank of

1002
00:50:41,319 --> 00:50:43,839
the LA River it's a quter that would run

1003
00:50:43,839 --> 00:50:48,109
parallel to San Fernando

1004
00:50:48,119 --> 00:50:51,880
Road as we started the project with the

1005
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:52,960
understanding of the importance of

1006
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,040
community engagement uh the team

1007
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,760
uh implemented a a robust outreach

1008
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,240
program that included eblasts door

1009
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:05,480
hangers postcards social media um all

1010
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,440
notifications were in three languages

1011
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,760
for the

1012
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,280
community we also initiated the initial

1013
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,440
survey and the this survey is a fact-f

1014
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,559
finding survey finding out what the

1015
00:51:17,559 --> 00:51:19,400
community's challenges are through the

1016
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,880
corridor but also what their desired

1017
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,119
improvements are through the

1018
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:27,480
corridor the top four challenges are all

1019
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,160
traffic operations related not

1020
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,559
surprisingly the top desired

1021
00:51:31,559 --> 00:51:33,960
improvements were also roadway and

1022
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,680
traffic related followed by Corridor

1023
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,880
beautification and pedestrian

1024
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,640
improvements so from this feedback the

1025
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,960
team developed three Alternatives that

1026
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,599
were brought

1027
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:50,440
forward in all of the Alternatives have

1028
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,240
common features involved through each of

1029
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:56,680
them uh this includes Parkway planting

1030
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,359
both along the rail Corridor to help

1031
00:51:58,359 --> 00:52:00,359
beautify that side of the street as well

1032
00:52:00,359 --> 00:52:03,359
as the East Side along the

1033
00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:05,559
businesses pavment resurfacing

1034
00:52:05,559 --> 00:52:08,839
throughout from Elk Avenue up to Grand

1035
00:52:08,839 --> 00:52:12,000
View upgraded bus stops making them ADA

1036
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,720
Compliant and installing bus shelters

1037
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:16,359
where they don't exist

1038
00:52:16,359 --> 00:52:19,640
today creative crosswalks to improve

1039
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,200
visibility and

1040
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,359
safety curb extensions at almost every

1041
00:52:24,359 --> 00:52:26,920
intersection to help shorten the path of

1042
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,359
travel for the pedestrians crossing the

1043
00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:33,319
street and the the raised landscaped

1044
00:52:33,319 --> 00:52:35,319
medians that will be

1045
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:38,440
included regarding the

1046
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,280
medians there are 11 medians planned

1047
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,520
throughout the corridor it is not a

1048
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,400
continuous median from in to in along

1049
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,480
the corridor in part because we're

1050
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,280
maintaining left turn at the cross

1051
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,520
streets where it exists today as well as

1052
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,400
the higher volume volume driveways for

1053
00:52:56,400 --> 00:53:01,950
the businesses along the

1054
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,200
corridor so alternative one is

1055
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,880
effectively the existing condition with

1056
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,400
the addition of the planting and the

1057
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,520
raised meiting Islands this would

1058
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,280
function as a class three bike way

1059
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,280
through the corridor with no change in

1060
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,160
the roadway Lane configuration it

1061
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,240
maintains all the on and it maintains

1062
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:23,630
all of the on street

1063
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,640
parking Alterna ative 2

1064
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,839
implements striped class two bike

1065
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:32,720
Lanes along San Fernando Road and in

1066
00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:35,359
order to fit the two bike Lanes one in

1067
00:53:35,359 --> 00:53:38,119
each Direction This alternative would

1068
00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:40,040
remove the on street parking which is a

1069
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,280
loss of approximately 141 parking spaces

1070
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,920
from Elk up to Grand View because of the

1071
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,280
constraints of the roadway um there is

1072
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,400
no buffer or protection for this bike

1073
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,559
lane it would be just purely a class two

1074
00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:58,549
striped bike lane

1075
00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:00,640
alternative three is what's referred to

1076
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,680
as a class 4 protected bike boy this is

1077
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,960
one lane in each Direction with a buffer

1078
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,880
and a vertical element separating the

1079
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,880
bikes from the vehicles in order to

1080
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,720
accomodate this in the width that that

1081
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:16,200
class 4 needs this would remove one lane

1082
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,640
of traffic in each Direction on San

1083
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,599
Fernando Road it also reduces parking by

1084
00:54:22,599 --> 00:54:25,319
about 30% uh because of the road

1085
00:54:25,319 --> 00:54:28,079
configuration and the ability to restrip

1086
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:29,160
for

1087
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,880
parking there is a VMT reduction along

1088
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,640
the corridor however because of the

1089
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,240
reduction in the lanes it does nearly

1090
00:54:37,240 --> 00:54:39,440
double the travel time in the afternoon

1091
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,799
peak hours both Northbound and

1092
00:54:42,799 --> 00:54:45,599
southbound and it also uh as we heard

1093
00:54:45,599 --> 00:54:48,040
from the Glendale Fire Department uh

1094
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,400
because it Narrows the roadway it makes

1095
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,960
it more difficult and challenging for

1096
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,079
the fire apparatus to be able to

1097
00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:58,559
navigate around raise median and parked

1098
00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:00,960
or cars or the vertical elements within

1099
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:06,910
the bike lane uh as they are going to a

1100
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,160
call we also looked at the traffic

1101
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,200
safety through the

1102
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,559
corridor we collected all the Collision

1103
00:55:13,559 --> 00:55:16,680
data from 2012 to 2022 through the

1104
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,400
corridor again from Elk Avenue up to

1105
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:22,480
Grand View Avenue there were 18

1106
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,880
incidents on file eight of which were

1107
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,799
involved pedestrians 10 of which

1108
00:55:27,799 --> 00:55:30,280
involved bicycles so we're aware of

1109
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,039
those incidents their locations uh

1110
00:55:33,039 --> 00:55:35,520
there's two locations in particular that

1111
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,400
had a cluster of accidents one of

1112
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,359
California the other

1113
00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:42,559
Colorado also with the implementation of

1114
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:44,559
the project and the features through the

1115
00:55:44,559 --> 00:55:49,079
calr local roadway safety manual um they

1116
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:51,440
document that installing raised medians

1117
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,000
can reduce collisions by up to

1118
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,920
25% providing bike Lanes can also reduce

1119
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:03,710
bicycle related accidents by up to

1120
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:06,920
35% we also evaluated the parking along

1121
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:07,640
the

1122
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,680
corridor uh there's currently 78 on

1123
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,160
street parking stalls north of the

1124
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,079
134 and 63 South of the

1125
00:56:17,079 --> 00:56:20,440
134 we did we twice went out to look at

1126
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,520
the utilization during the day from 6:00

1127
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,440
AM to 7 pm

1128
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,160
uh the corridor is very highly utilized

1129
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,319
throughout additionally we looked at

1130
00:56:30,319 --> 00:56:33,000
each of the cross streets at about 250

1131
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,520
feet back from San Fernando Road to see

1132
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,520
what the utilization is like on the side

1133
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,640
streets to see in particular is if we

1134
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,720
removed parking on San Fernando Road is

1135
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:45,000
there sufficient parking on street on

1136
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,640
the side streets to accommodate that uh

1137
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,119
those side streets are also very highly

1138
00:56:51,119 --> 00:56:54,000
utilized so there is not sufficient on

1139
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,319
street parking replacement parking if it

1140
00:56:56,319 --> 00:57:00,870
was removed on San Fernando

1141
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,039
Road so we took the three options along

1142
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:05,559
with the information gathered on the

1143
00:57:05,559 --> 00:57:08,240
traffic and the parking uh we held a

1144
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:10,880
community uh Outreach meeting in March

1145
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,599
at the glendell Fire Protection Bureau

1146
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:15,680
we had 40 community members come through

1147
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,359
able to walk them through each of the

1148
00:57:17,359 --> 00:57:19,520
boards the exhibits um and what is

1149
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:20,680
planned in each of the three

1150
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,079
Alternatives hear feedback provide input

1151
00:57:24,079 --> 00:57:28,789
as to concerns that they might have

1152
00:57:28,799 --> 00:57:31,839
had we also did an online

1153
00:57:31,839 --> 00:57:34,200
survey uh this was referred to a survey

1154
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,720
number two where we were getting input

1155
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,359
on the Alternatives and Concepts that

1156
00:57:38,359 --> 00:57:41,119
were presented at the Outreach

1157
00:57:41,119 --> 00:57:44,000
meeting we want to indicate that the the

1158
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,559
participant profile 38% identified as an

1159
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:51,119
active cyclist um there were 11% that

1160
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:52,960
either worked along San Fernando or

1161
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,680
owned a business along San Fernando Road

1162
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,160
the result of this online survey uh

1163
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,039
alternative three the class 4 cycle

1164
00:58:01,039 --> 00:58:04,559
track or or class 4 bike Lanes uh ranked

1165
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:06,720
the highest at 42% followed by

1166
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:10,670
alternative two and then alternative

1167
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,400
one subsequent to that we did a

1168
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,839
door-to-door canvasing of the corridor

1169
00:58:16,839 --> 00:58:19,960
both businesses and adjacent

1170
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,599
residents the common theme through the

1171
00:58:22,599 --> 00:58:25,640
discussion with the businesses was the

1172
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,760
parking they are heavily reliant on it

1173
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,599
and in their eyes that was a non-starter

1174
00:58:30,599 --> 00:58:33,599
to remove it uh that resulted in the

1175
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:38,400
clear 93% approval of alternative

1176
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,319
one with the residents the key concern

1177
00:58:41,319 --> 00:58:43,079
for them was any cut through traffic

1178
00:58:43,079 --> 00:58:43,960
which should have been tied to

1179
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,119
Alternative three and so again we're

1180
00:58:47,119 --> 00:58:49,559
seeing a a very heavy approval rating

1181
00:58:49,559 --> 00:58:51,359
for alternative one by the residents

1182
00:58:51,359 --> 00:58:53,440
followed by alternative

1183
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,799
two so with this information and the

1184
00:58:56,799 --> 00:58:59,119
discussions with the community feedback

1185
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,880
from both the online survey and the

1186
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,599
community meetings the team went back

1187
00:59:03,599 --> 00:59:05,920
and looked at variations what else might

1188
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,280
we be able to

1189
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,240
do and this is where alternative

1190
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:14,680
2A came about and what this does IT

1191
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,160
addresses the business's concerns about

1192
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,119
parking because we're maintaining it

1193
00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:20,680
along San Fernando

1194
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,119
Road it may IT addresses the residential

1195
00:59:24,119 --> 00:59:26,240
community concerns because we've

1196
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,079
maintained the four lanes of traffic on

1197
00:59:28,079 --> 00:59:29,079
the

1198
00:59:29,079 --> 00:59:31,480
road but what we what we have been able

1199
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,760
to provide on this one is a single Class

1200
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,799
2 southbound bike

1201
00:59:35,799 --> 00:59:39,559
lane along the west side of San Fernando

1202
00:59:39,559 --> 00:59:41,960
Road and we've accomplish that by

1203
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,039
skinning up all of the lanes in the

1204
00:59:44,039 --> 00:59:46,400
median Island through here to 10-ft

1205
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,000
Lanes 9ft median 7 foot parking

1206
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,480
Lane that allows us to provide just

1207
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,200
enough space to put that class to bike

1208
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,240
lane

1209
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,720
in now you also notice that there is no

1210
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,119
protection or buffer for this bike lane

1211
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:03,720
and question is what's the challenges

1212
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,200
why can't we well the challenges the the

1213
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,920
characteristics of the

1214
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,200
corridor the need when

1215
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,799
we to be able to provide a buffer we

1216
01:00:15,799 --> 01:00:17,160
have to narrow something else that

1217
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,559
something else would be the the

1218
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:22,400
median we have raised median but we also

1219
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,839
have striped medians that Prov provides

1220
01:00:24,839 --> 01:00:27,000
two-way left turn access to driveways

1221
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,640
along San Fernando

1222
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,559
Road so to accomplish a buffer adjacent

1223
01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:34,359
to the bike lane we would need to narrow

1224
01:00:34,359 --> 01:00:36,640
the median which means we shift traffic

1225
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,599
over 3 ft to shift traffic we need

1226
01:00:40,599 --> 01:00:42,359
distance to transition and taper them

1227
01:00:42,359 --> 01:00:45,559
over we also need transitions in and out

1228
01:00:45,559 --> 01:00:50,480
of of the uh left turn pockets all told

1229
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,000
it takes about 300 feet of length to

1230
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,640
make the transitions work on each end

1231
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,880
plus the left turn

1232
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,319
pocket you add all this up and

1233
01:01:02,319 --> 01:01:05,240
unfortunately through the corridor the

1234
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,280
blocks are so

1235
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,720
short that out of roughly 17 blocks

1236
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,480
there's only four that would actually

1237
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,640
have enough length to them that this we

1238
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,839
could achieve any form of

1239
01:01:19,839 --> 01:01:22,480
buffer and within those four three of

1240
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,559
them would also then prohibit left turn

1241
01:01:25,559 --> 01:01:27,240
access in and out of additional

1242
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,960
driveways that was not intended

1243
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,359
originally which leaves one remaining

1244
01:01:32,359 --> 01:01:34,359
opportunity to to do that and let me

1245
01:01:34,359 --> 01:01:36,319
give you a little bit of a look of how

1246
01:01:36,319 --> 01:01:39,280
that looks and what I'm referring to

1247
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,960
here this is a block between Grange and

1248
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,039
Highland

1249
01:01:43,039 --> 01:01:46,680
Avenue um this shows a the class 2 bike

1250
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,039
lane along the railroad Corridor at the

1251
01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:52,640
intersections we need a 9ft median width

1252
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,240
for the left turn Pockets it cannot be

1253
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,319
any anything less than

1254
01:01:56,319 --> 01:01:58,680
that if you're heading southbound and

1255
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,319
you cross Highland Avenue you would you

1256
01:02:01,319 --> 01:02:03,119
would start to transition over that's

1257
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:04,640
the 100 foot transition that's the

1258
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,599
minimum required by the

1259
01:02:07,599 --> 01:02:11,079
city at that point the median island is

1260
01:02:11,079 --> 01:02:14,039
now down to 6 feet which then would

1261
01:02:14,039 --> 01:02:16,039
prohibit the ability for left turn

1262
01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:18,200
movements because the car cannot move

1263
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,119
into a two-way left turn lane in in the

1264
01:02:20,119 --> 01:02:23,160
raised median so that would effectively

1265
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:24,880
eliminate left turn move ments in and

1266
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,880
out of two driveways on this one

1267
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,559
block and then you have to taper back

1268
01:02:30,559 --> 01:02:33,240
out ahead of the 60ft taper that goes

1269
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,119
into the left turn pocket and then the

1270
01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:36,839
length of the left turn pocket which

1271
01:02:36,839 --> 01:02:38,440
varies throughout the corridor depending

1272
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,200
on traffic volumes so there's very

1273
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,039
limited ability to provide a buffer

1274
01:02:44,039 --> 01:02:47,589
along this

1275
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:51,000
Corridor and lastly alternative

1276
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,520
3A uh was a a look at a class 4

1277
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,960
protected two-way cycle track and what

1278
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,559
we did different on this one is we

1279
01:02:59,559 --> 01:03:03,400
combined the uh two directions of for

1280
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,559
the class 4 bike lane along the west

1281
01:03:05,559 --> 01:03:09,039
side adjacent to the rail

1282
01:03:09,039 --> 01:03:12,000
Corridor we restored the parking on the

1283
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,839
on for on Street on the east side of San

1284
01:03:14,839 --> 01:03:16,960
Fernando Road as well as two Northbound

1285
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,200
Lanes so this addresses the parking

1286
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,520
concern this addresses the traffic

1287
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,359
concern for Northbound however the

1288
01:03:24,359 --> 01:03:26,160
southbound direction of travel still is

1289
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,559
only one lane and it is a narrowed

1290
01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:31,839
section uh so we still would have a

1291
01:03:31,839 --> 01:03:34,359
southbound uh impact of traffic during

1292
01:03:34,359 --> 01:03:37,039
the PM peak hours as well as the

1293
01:03:37,039 --> 01:03:38,880
concerns from the glendell fire

1294
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,039
department because of the narrowed

1295
01:03:41,039 --> 01:03:43,880
Street width this option also would

1296
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,359
require traffic signal modifications

1297
01:03:46,359 --> 01:03:48,920
because of the two-way cycle track at

1298
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,279
each of the crossings of the

1299
01:03:51,279 --> 01:03:53,599
railroad what this means is we now have

1300
01:03:53,599 --> 01:03:55,079
to engage the California Public

1301
01:03:55,079 --> 01:03:57,160
Utilities Commission LA Metro and

1302
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,359
Metrolink for the modifications in the

1303
01:03:59,359 --> 01:04:01,839
process of this which

1304
01:04:01,839 --> 01:04:05,119
is um would not fit within the timeline

1305
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,920
for this project to deliver and build it

1306
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:14,150
by the end of June

1307
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,279
2024 So based on the feedback uh staff

1308
01:04:17,279 --> 01:04:20,640
went to the TBC last week um

1309
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,520
recommending alternative one

1310
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:23,799
particularly because it did meet the

1311
01:04:23,799 --> 01:04:25,240
grant project

1312
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,000
goals it also addressed the business and

1313
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,960
residents concerns regarding parking and

1314
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,880
traffic the configuration was consistent

1315
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,279
with the the challenges and the

1316
01:04:34,279 --> 01:04:35,720
constraints of the corridor and the

1317
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,319
characteristics of of the street but

1318
01:04:38,319 --> 01:04:41,599
also understanding the potential for

1319
01:04:41,599 --> 01:04:43,839
additional connectivity in the future

1320
01:04:43,839 --> 01:04:46,440
for for bicycles not only with the

1321
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,640
metroactive transportation improvements

1322
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,279
that are being uh designed right now by

1323
01:04:51,279 --> 01:04:53,920
LA Metro that connect to the Riverwalk

1324
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,920
but but also through the city's own

1325
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,000
updating of your bike transportation

1326
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,160
plan that could explore the extension of

1327
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,839
that bike path along the east Bank of

1328
01:05:03,839 --> 01:05:06,279
the LA River to provide a high higher

1329
01:05:06,279 --> 01:05:09,440
quality bicycle facility for all users

1330
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,520
that parallel San Fernando Road so it's

1331
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,039
an option that would be out

1332
01:05:14,039 --> 01:05:16,920
there so at the meeting alternative two

1333
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,760
was recommended for the following

1334
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,640
reasons in part because it also

1335
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,520
addressed the business and residents

1336
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,039
concerns but it also provided a bicycle

1337
01:05:27,039 --> 01:05:28,680
Improvement along the corridor by

1338
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,079
providing that southbound Class 2 bike

1339
01:05:31,079 --> 01:05:33,200
lane um it is an alternative that could

1340
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,640
be realized without impacting the

1341
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,520
project budget and schedule and hence

1342
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,119
the staff is recommending alternative 2A

1343
01:05:40,119 --> 01:05:42,640
for your consideration tonight and with

1344
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,480
that that concludes my

1345
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,240
presentation thank you very much um do

1346
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,160
we have any quick questions or should um

1347
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,319
because I could call up the speaker

1348
01:05:54,319 --> 01:05:56,160
unless you have just sure I I just have

1349
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,279
a few question uh on when when in notes

1350
01:06:00,279 --> 01:06:01,760
on in the presentation you mentioned

1351
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:07,000
that um with uh bike Lanes uh accidents

1352
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,039
are reduced by 35% is there a specific

1353
01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:13,480
type of bike lane that uh constitutes

1354
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,000
that percentage of a reduction that

1355
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,599
would be for a striped Class 2 bike lane

1356
01:06:18,599 --> 01:06:21,880
of class two because the first ones

1357
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,599
which are just sharrows along the road I

1358
01:06:24,599 --> 01:06:26,880
don't think would result if anything

1359
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,079
they give I think bicyclists a false

1360
01:06:29,079 --> 01:06:33,359
sense of security um and how many left

1361
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:35,720
left turns would be affected by uh the

1362
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,039
implementation of 2A into uh businesses

1363
01:06:39,039 --> 01:06:43,440
do you did you mention that for in to

1364
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,160
put a buffer be able to put a buffer

1365
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,880
adjacent yeah

1366
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,200
so I believe it's a total of six

1367
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,319
driveways or five driveways add in three

1368
01:06:53,319 --> 01:06:54,640
different segments

1369
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,480
ments five driveways in each

1370
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,599
segment five driveways total five okay

1371
01:07:00,599 --> 01:07:03,720
all right thank

1372
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,440
you

1373
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,119
yes um on page

1374
01:07:09,119 --> 01:07:15,599
13 you note that uh uh alternative to um

1375
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:19,119
would result in loss of 141

1376
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:21,480
spaces uh parking spaces or

1377
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,200
approximately do you have that number um

1378
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:28,039
for south of the freeway yes there's 63

1379
01:07:28,039 --> 01:07:30,359
total parking stalls south of the 134

1380
01:07:30,359 --> 01:07:33,640
freeway and that's been uh that count

1381
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,119
was conducted by Mark Thomas staff as

1382
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:38,599
well as um our consultant that did the

1383
01:07:38,599 --> 01:07:39,680
parking

1384
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,240
analysis so it's been confirmed okay

1385
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,839
thank you so much have a question Divine

1386
01:07:45,839 --> 01:07:48,240
yes um my question is about off street

1387
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,559
parking and uh we I suppose we all got

1388
01:07:51,559 --> 01:07:53,520
an email today and I don't know if the

1389
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,960
the lady is here that was uh that sent

1390
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,279
us the information but she mentioned

1391
01:07:58,279 --> 01:07:59,720
that there are hundreds of parking

1392
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,000
spaces including a garage and lots off

1393
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,160
Street in that area that could be used

1394
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,359
and it wouldn't matter if we uh you know

1395
01:08:08,359 --> 01:08:10,319
got rid of the

1396
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:13,880
144 on street parking or the 41 I think

1397
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,199
it's 41 this in the

1398
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:19,880
2A can you comment on that you said you

1399
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,040
you looked at off street parking and we

1400
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:24,560
we looked at the on street parking

1401
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,359
demands the public

1402
01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:29,920
parking the offsite off street parking

1403
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,480
was not considered as part of our

1404
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:34,520
analysis uh particularly because it is

1405
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,159
privately owned and it's it requires a

1406
01:08:37,159 --> 01:08:38,719
little more investigation as to its

1407
01:08:38,719 --> 01:08:41,040
needs um there's also businesses that

1408
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,040
may still not from the time they were

1409
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,560
built have off-site parking but it's

1410
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,159
also takes additional analysis to

1411
01:08:49,159 --> 01:08:51,199
understand the on-site parking or

1412
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:53,319
off-site parking needs of each of the

1413
01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:56,359
businesses is um and uses along the

1414
01:08:56,359 --> 01:09:00,000
corridor to determine if it is meeting

1415
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,759
current zoning requirements or

1416
01:09:01,759 --> 01:09:03,359
grandfathered zoning

1417
01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:07,080
requirements um it's difficult to say

1418
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,159
whether or not would still be adequate

1419
01:09:09,159 --> 01:09:11,199
to absorb the parking if it was removed

1420
01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:13,960
from San Fernando Road and council

1421
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,120
member dine um I didn't see a copy of

1422
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,520
the email but we do not own we don't

1423
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,239
have a parking structure along San

1424
01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:23,480
Fernando public parking structure right

1425
01:09:23,480 --> 01:09:25,159
I don't think she mentioned it that they

1426
01:09:25,159 --> 01:09:28,239
were public she said um garages and then

1427
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:30,560
she had buildings and lots and oh yeah

1428
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,799
privately owned yeah yeah

1429
01:09:33,799 --> 01:09:36,159
yeah um yeah and we'll get a

1430
01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:39,199
presentation that's um yeah one of our

1431
01:09:39,199 --> 01:09:40,920
one of our speaker cards she'll be

1432
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:41,880
giving a

1433
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,520
presentation um yeah I just have two

1434
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,960
questions um on let's see when you were

1435
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,960
on page 10 let me just go back to

1436
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:55,679
it uh was it page I'm sorry page 14

1437
01:09:55,679 --> 01:09:59,080
you uh mentioned um that this

1438
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:00,280
alternative three would double the

1439
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,400
travel time can you put that in in

1440
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,360
seconds minutes and what from where to

1441
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,679
where so the travel time is from Elk

1442
01:10:09,679 --> 01:10:11,360
Avenue on the south end to Grand View

1443
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,320
Avenue on the North

1444
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,880
End in today's conditions that's

1445
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,000
estimated in either direction to be a

1446
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,719
10-minute travel time both Northbound

1447
01:10:21,719 --> 01:10:24,679
and southbound during Peak hour PM peak

1448
01:10:24,679 --> 01:10:26,719
hour cuz that's that's the governing one

1449
01:10:26,719 --> 01:10:28,280
that's the higher has the higher volume

1450
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:28,960
to

1451
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,280
it with alternative three with the class

1452
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,520
4 protected bike Lanes reducing the lane

1453
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,120
of travel in each

1454
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,880
Direction the number increases to 18

1455
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,920
minutes and I believe the southbound

1456
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,880
Direction 20 minutes in the Northbound

1457
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,120
Direction so near it nearly doubled both

1458
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,000
directions in the PM peak hour by

1459
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,830
reducing and eliminating the one lane

1460
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:00,800
okay um and then my other question is uh

1461
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,920
see page 20 I think I know the answer to

1462
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,520
this but I just want to make sure so uh

1463
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,159
on page

1464
01:11:08,159 --> 01:11:10,199
20 I don't know if you want to pull it

1465
01:11:10,199 --> 01:11:12,840
up for now but anyway the here I'll I'll

1466
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,159
back up for you yeah just that the the

1467
01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:19,239
the rightmost travel Lane there 11 ft I

1468
01:11:19,239 --> 01:11:21,040
assume that's because of the parked cars

1469
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,040
but is that is that a requirement when

1470
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,640
we have a travel Lane against Park cars

1471
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:29,040
our minimum is 11 ft the the typical

1472
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,320
minimum Lane is 11

1473
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,440
and the typical parking Lane is also

1474
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:38,639
eight um so we've reduced the parking

1475
01:11:38,639 --> 01:11:39,600
Lane to

1476
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,239
seven um because of the having the

1477
01:11:43,239 --> 01:11:46,120
travel Lane adjacent to the parking Lane

1478
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:49,360
um having 18 ft total was preferable

1479
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,480
whether it was a 10-ft lane and an 8ft

1480
01:11:51,480 --> 01:11:53,679
parking lane or vice versa but but

1481
01:11:53,679 --> 01:11:55,480
having the 18 ft was preferable to have

1482
01:11:55,480 --> 01:11:58,600
a little bit of separation between the

1483
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,840
two so so if you cut a foot off of that

1484
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,719
you that would be a a safety issue I

1485
01:12:05,719 --> 01:12:08,600
would say it would be yes my

1486
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:11,880
opinion because I'm just thinking if you

1487
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,480
how much how how much uh uh space would

1488
01:12:15,480 --> 01:12:18,280
you need for to buffer that bike lane

1489
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,920
would it be a foot or would it be less

1490
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,560
than a foot the typical buffer for a

1491
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,639
bike lane is 3 Fe oh 3 ft just for the

1492
01:12:25,639 --> 01:12:28,560
buffer that's the typical buffer for a

1493
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,920
bike lane it it could be made less could

1494
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:35,560
be yeah but the the preferred is 3

1495
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,679
feet okay and the 10ft travel Lane is

1496
01:12:38,679 --> 01:12:40,360
our is our

1497
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,320
minimum

1498
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,760
yes did any jurisdictions go narrower

1499
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:47,600
than that on through

1500
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,199
Lanes not that I have seen I know the

1501
01:12:50,199 --> 01:12:53,159
city of La has been tightening things up

1502
01:12:53,159 --> 01:12:55,400
but they've been using 10ft throughs and

1503
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,159
9ft left

1504
01:12:57,159 --> 01:13:00,239
turns okay all right

1505
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:04,679
thanks oh yeah council member the

1506
01:13:04,679 --> 01:13:08,480
sidewalk uh with what's left is that

1507
01:13:08,480 --> 01:13:11,159
like sufficient for people with

1508
01:13:11,159 --> 01:13:14,000
disabilities absolutely the the quarter

1509
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,719
will be ADA

1510
01:13:16,719 --> 01:13:19,480
Compliant and not like in some places on

1511
01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:21,239
like Central and brand right where it

1512
01:13:21,239 --> 01:13:24,080
almost feels like you have to around

1513
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,040
things um council members saan

1514
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,280
everywhere in the City by law we are

1515
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,719
required to comply with ADA requirements

1516
01:13:31,719 --> 01:13:34,440
so sometimes what you see on Brand

1517
01:13:34,440 --> 01:13:37,480
Boulevard and we're dealing with uh code

1518
01:13:37,480 --> 01:13:40,840
enforcement is after dining spaces that

1519
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,920
have taken over but even with that if

1520
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:45,920
they have they have a permit from the

1521
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,440
city it meets the minimum requirement

1522
01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:50,400
for

1523
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,040
accessibility okay and and if I could

1524
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,600
add the the parkway on that side it's

1525
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,000
10t wide the intent of this is to remove

1526
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,440
the front four feet for

1527
01:14:00,440 --> 01:14:04,120
planting maintain the back five or six

1528
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,000
feet depending on segment but making it

1529
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,719
a continuous without Meandering that

1530
01:14:08,719 --> 01:14:10,080
back and

1531
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:14,159
forth okay thank you so much okay uh

1532

com uh do I start now yes all right uh

1543
01:14:51,159 --> 01:14:54,679
hello I am here to voice my support for

1544
01:14:54,679 --> 01:14:58,719
Alternatives 2 3 and SL

1545
01:14:58,719 --> 01:15:02,679
3A um I have a stti in the matter as I

1546
01:15:02,679 --> 01:15:05,560
have cycled through San Fernando Road

1547
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,639
many times from Glenn Oaks Boulevard to

1548
01:15:08,639 --> 01:15:12,000
Chevy Chase um where I make a ride and

1549
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,520
head to the LA River bike path at at

1550
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:19,000
Water bellage um for a time this was the

1551
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,840
first part of my commute to get to

1552
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,159
downtown Los Angeles uh as I became more

1553
01:15:24,159 --> 01:15:25,800
familiar with the roads in

1554
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,920
Glendale uh I stopped using San Fernando

1555
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,040
as often mostly because due to the lack

1556
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,960
of bike lanes and angry speeding

1557
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,040
cars um the fact is that San Fernando

1558
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:43,040
Road is a dangerous road for all users

1559
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:47,880
on top of a few a handful of pedestrian

1560
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,880
injuries there have been a handful of

1561
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,600
bicycle collisions within the last

1562
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:56,880
decade um I would also like to mention

1563
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,840
one notable incident in on the San

1564
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:02,719
Fernando Road during the open Community

1565
01:16:02,719 --> 01:16:06,600
open house event on March 23rd of this

1566
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,639
year two cars jumped on a curb and

1567
01:16:09,639 --> 01:16:12,520
landed on a few tables of a restaurant

1568
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,760
at the intersection of San Fernando and

1569
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,440
Chevy Chase uh now I understand that

1570
01:16:18,440 --> 01:16:21,360
it's a little bit South beyond the

1571
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,040
current project but that doesn't change

1572
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,520
the fact that it happened you know um

1573
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,280
think about think about this in an

1574
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,159
alternative timeline or Universe where

1575
01:16:33,159 --> 01:16:36,360
the city council chose alternative run

1576
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,760
one and was implemented and that crash

1577
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,239
or worse crash occurred within that

1578
01:16:42,239 --> 01:16:45,480
scope of the project it would not look

1579
01:16:45,480 --> 01:16:49,040
good for the city of Glendale to say the

1580
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,960
least this is why we have projects to

1581
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,800
extend sidewalks to add bike lanes and

1582
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,520
sometimes bus lanes uh it's to prevent

1583
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,199
incidents like this from

1584
01:16:59,199 --> 01:17:02,360
occurring and you have the power to

1585
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:06,390
prevent these such

1586
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,719
incidents uh please support option 3 3A

1587
01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:13,080
or at the fair leas option two I yield

1588
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,040
my time thank

1589
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:21,990
you Mike bars

1590
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,800
off

1591
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,000
uh good evening council members my name

1592
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,080
is Mike borisov uh again sorry I just

1593
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,040
came from work at GD so forgive me for

1594
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,920
the shorts um so I'm just here to say

1595
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,480
alternative 2A is the best we can go

1596
01:17:33,480 --> 01:17:35,280
with right now um I was at the meeting

1597
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:36,360
for the transportation parking

1598
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,520
commission when this came up and really

1599
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,840
what this project is all about is

1600
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,840
compromise um when obviously I want

1601
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,880
three um but that's not the reality that

1602
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,440
we live in um I we had the fire chief or

1603
01:17:48,440 --> 01:17:50,360
sorry fire department staff come up and

1604
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,480
say that if we only had one single Lane

1605
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:55,159
that was 10 10 ft or even 12T that's not

1606
01:17:55,159 --> 01:17:56,679
good enough in case of an emergency

1607
01:17:56,679 --> 01:17:58,239
because cars can't like go to the right

1608
01:17:58,239 --> 01:18:00,199
or left side of the street which makes

1609
01:18:00,199 --> 01:18:02,400
sense and so to come up with a

1610
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:03,719
compromise to allow a bike lane

1611
01:18:03,719 --> 01:18:05,880
southbound bike lane and still have uh

1612
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,360
emergency vehicles go uh in event of

1613
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,199
emergency uh we have two lanes that are

1614
01:18:10,199 --> 01:18:13,320
now 10 ft uh additionally now this

1615
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,199
project will follow the timeline and

1616
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:17,360
follow the costs with a clean uh air

1617
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,920
Grand program I do want to mention that

1618
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,360
I'm a bit bummed that there was no room

1619
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,719
for a buffer for the bike lane so in my

1620
01:18:26,719 --> 01:18:28,000
understanding a protected bike lane is

1621
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,600
about 3 to 5T but a buffer can be

1622
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,239
whatever size you want although I don't

1623
01:18:33,239 --> 01:18:36,199
know if there's a legal minimum to

1624
01:18:36,199 --> 01:18:40,080
enforce like the safe of a buffer versus

1625
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,080
a protected bike like Arrow not Lane

1626
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,159
sorry a protected bike buffer like

1627
01:18:46,159 --> 01:18:47,040
there's buffer and there there's

1628
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:48,120
protected bike lane those are two

1629
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,239
different things um and you can see that

1630
01:18:50,239 --> 01:18:52,920
in the picture even so if you go back to

1631
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,880
to Alternative 3A you can see there's a

1632
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,440
green right there's red uh sorry there's

1633
01:18:58,440 --> 01:19:00,320
a stripes and then there's green poles

1634
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,120
those are plastic ballards that's a

1635
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,040
protected bike lane a buffer would just

1636
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:07,120
be a thicker stripe I believe on the

1637
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,040
lane and so I was confused why we

1638
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,199
couldn't have like at least a foot um I

1639
01:19:11,199 --> 01:19:12,719
understand there's a minimum median

1640
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:14,239
requirement especially for turning left

1641
01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:17,360
and the median will have dry Wells or

1642
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,719
water collection facilities so that

1643
01:19:19,719 --> 01:19:22,600
might affect the actual buffer or how

1644
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,639
wide meeting is and the buffer this that

1645
01:19:24,639 --> 01:19:27,080
you could add to the bike lane um but

1646
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,360
all in all I support alternative 2A and

1647
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,360
I hope we you know Al least got one bike

1648
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,159
lane versus zero which is what we're

1649
01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:37,040
currently at right now thank you thank

1650
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:45,510
you uh next speaker is Allen

1651
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,080
Durham mayor brotman members of the

1652
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,440
council I'm Alan Durham uh I agree with

1653
01:19:51,440 --> 01:19:54,040
Mike borisoff I'm here to support the

1654
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,199
staff's

1655
01:19:55,199 --> 01:19:58,159
recommendation to uh go with alternative

1656
01:19:58,159 --> 01:20:00,840
2A it's not a perfect world

1657
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:04,520
unfortunately compromise is needed uh 2A

1658
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,159
manages to add at least one dedicated

1659
01:20:07,159 --> 01:20:10,120
bike lane on a street that has none in

1660
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,040
addition to maintaining on street

1661
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,000
parking and all four traffic

1662
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,639
Lanes unfortunately adding two bank

1663
01:20:17,639 --> 01:20:21,000
Lanes would result in the loss of all

1664
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,920
the on street parking or the loss of one

1665
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,159
or two traffic Lanes this portion of San

1666
01:20:27,159 --> 01:20:29,800
Fernando Road is under I'm sorry it's

1667
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,880
mostly older commercial buildings which

1668
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,320
have no dedicated parking they rely on

1669
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:36,480
the street

1670
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:40,800
parking uh and any parking structures

1671
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,440
that are in this portion of San Fernando

1672
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:45,600
or private property they're not public

1673
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,960
Lots where you can pay to

1674
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,639
park um and I think having no street

1675
01:20:51,639 --> 01:20:54,159
parking would hurt these businesses

1676
01:20:54,159 --> 01:20:57,520
economically and also Force parking onto

1677
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,600
residential streets rather than San

1678
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,440
Fernando Road eliminating one or two

1679
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:06,000
traffic Lanes to put two bike Lanes in

1680
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,159
is extremely problematic it's a heavily

1681
01:21:09,159 --> 01:21:11,440
traveled

1682
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:14,000
thoroughfare and it will at least double

1683
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,480
the travel times during the rush hour

1684
01:21:16,480 --> 01:21:18,639
and it's already really congested during

1685
01:21:18,639 --> 01:21:21,040
those times traffic backs up there are a

1686
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,520
bunch of railroad crossings the signals

1687
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:25,880
last a very long

1688
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:30,199
time and I think reducing it to three or

1689
01:21:30,199 --> 01:21:32,440
two lanes will

1690
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:35,600
divert uh traffic from San Fernando onto

1691
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,800
nearby residential streets will get that

1692
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,360
effect of people cutting through

1693
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,239
residential streets to avoid San

1694
01:21:41,239 --> 01:21:44,480
Fernando Road and even if the traffic

1695
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:47,360
goes up to Glen Oaks Boulevard we're

1696
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,360
going to be losing two lanes on Glen

1697
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,639
Oaks in the future when the rapid

1698
01:21:51,639 --> 01:21:55,679
transit uh North Hollywood bus project

1699
01:21:55,679 --> 01:21:58,520
is implemented so Glen o is going to be

1700
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,920
going from six Lanes down to four if San

1701
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,320
Fernando goes from 4 to 3 or two it's

1702
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:06,480
just

1703
01:22:06,480 --> 01:22:08,719
problematic uh for the neighborhoods

1704
01:22:08,719 --> 01:22:10,760
because I think traffic will go up into

1705
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,800
the residential neighborhoods and the

1706
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,120
Glendale Fire Department has stated that

1707
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,159
this is going to be a threat to Public

1708
01:22:19,159 --> 01:22:23,040
Safety due to delays in response time so

1709
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,920
I don't think you can really ignore that

1710
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,000
so please don't delay approving

1711
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,199
alternative

1712
01:22:29,199 --> 01:22:33,560
2A there's only 10 months to go to get

1713
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,880
this project rolling completed in order

1714
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,159
not to lose the grant money thank you

1715
01:22:39,159 --> 01:22:44,790
thank you uh next speaker is Kirsten

1716
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,480
blad or blade I I hope you can correct

1717
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:50,520
me

1718
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:53,080
yes uh good evening council members

1719
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:54,520
my name is Kirsten blot I'm a resident

1720
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:55,679
of South

1721
01:22:55,679 --> 01:23:00,629
Glendale um I did have a

1722
01:23:00,639 --> 01:23:03,120
presentation um first I just want to say

1723
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:04,960
I'm not sure why it matters that all of

1724
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:06,960
the parking south of the 134 is private

1725
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,679
when it's 100% private businesses uh

1726
01:23:09,679 --> 01:23:11,639
there's no Public Schools public parks

1727
01:23:11,639 --> 01:23:15,030
or

1728
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,040
residences um if you go to the first

1729
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,280
slide please thanks or the second

1730
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,159
slide thanks

1731
01:23:23,159 --> 01:23:24,840
um so the staff report failed to look at

1732
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,080
the bigger picture of glendale's bike

1733
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,280
Network San Fernando intersects with

1734
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,239
five bike Lanes one future bike lane and

1735
01:23:30,239 --> 01:23:32,120
the future Verdugo wash which is by far

1736
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,800
the most of any roadway in Glendale next

1737
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,080
slide that many connections to bike

1738
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,159
Lanes guarantees that San Fernando will

1739
01:23:40,159 --> 01:23:41,920
be and is currently used by lots of

1740
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,840
cyclists in the past 10 years there were

1741
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:45,639
28 cyclist hit on the portion of San

1742
01:23:45,639 --> 01:23:47,360
Fernando within Glendale and two of

1743
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,360
those crashes resulted in the highest

1744
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,639
injury severity level other than death

1745
01:23:51,639 --> 01:23:53,920
next slide

1746
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:55,480
over onethird of the crashes occurred

1747
01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:58,360
within the project study area next

1748
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,719
slide my parking analysis shows that

1749
01:24:00,719 --> 01:24:02,280
unlike the northern portion there's very

1750
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:03,840
little need for curb parking south of

1751
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,960
the 134 which is also where bike Lan is

1752
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,400
most needed next

1753
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,199
slide so in this first portion there are

1754
01:24:11,199 --> 01:24:13,920
44 off street parking spaces um and

1755
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,280
there's not a single curb parking

1756
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,199
space next

1757
01:24:19,199 --> 01:24:21,760
slide uh this section is going to re be

1758
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,440
redeveloped with a project that includes

1759
01:24:23,440 --> 01:24:26,960
a 385 space parking garage 121 surface

1760
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,239
spaces and an off Street loading zone uh

1761
01:24:29,239 --> 01:24:31,040
there's no retail or any need for

1762
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,639
customer parking uh and there's only 14

1763
01:24:33,639 --> 01:24:35,960
curb spaces anyways next

1764
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:37,920
slide here we

1765
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,960
have off street parking spaces and 12

1766
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,360
curb spaces over two blocks uh and it's

1767
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,600
mostly a junk lot if you couldn't tell

1768
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,119
um so here you can see that these two

1769
01:24:49,119 --> 01:24:51,239
blocks for years now have just been used

1770
01:24:51,239 --> 01:24:52,840
as junk truck storage which they're not

1771
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:57,229
customer parking next

1772
01:24:57,239 --> 01:25:00,119
slide um again here's another block

1773
01:25:00,119 --> 01:25:01,639
showing that this is just junk truck

1774
01:25:01,639 --> 01:25:05,470
storage not customer

1775
01:25:05,480 --> 01:25:08,480
parking so here we have 135 off street

1776
01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:11,239
parking spaces and 10 curb spaces 50% of

1777
01:25:11,239 --> 01:25:13,679
which are limited to 30 minutes uh so

1778
01:25:13,679 --> 01:25:14,920
the also I wanted to point out the

1779
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:16,600
restaurant on the corner has 11 spaces

1780
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:18,600
of their own and a 14 space parking lot

1781
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,760
next door next

1782
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,960
slide um so here in front of moonlight

1783
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:24,400
rollerway we can see that this has been

1784
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,000
used for junk truck storage since at

1785
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,400
least 2015 next slide there's not a

1786
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,159
single curb parking space available on

1787
01:25:31,159 --> 01:25:32,639
this final stretch of San Fernando but

1788
01:25:32,639 --> 01:25:36,159
there are 539 off- street parking spaces

1789
01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:37,280
which means this whole section is

1790
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:38,920
essentially just a giant parking lot

1791
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:39,760
next

1792
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,719
slide so all in all only 2% of the

1793
01:25:42,719 --> 01:25:44,639
available parking within one block is on

1794
01:25:44,639 --> 01:25:46,320
the curb and that's not even counting

1795
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:47,760
the curb parking available on side

1796
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,719
streets next

1797
01:25:49,719 --> 01:25:52,360
slide my alternative proposal is north

1798
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,840
of 134 alternative 2A and south of 134

1799
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,320
alternative 2 is that my time um okay

1800
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:01,400
you could you could wrap it up need

1801
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:03,760
another 30 seconds it's fine thank you

1802
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,239
um so with this proposal cyclist would

1803
01:26:06,239 --> 01:26:07,760
be protected where it matters most which

1804
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,639
is near the freeway interchanges less

1805
01:26:09,639 --> 01:26:12,239
than 2% parking loss and all parking

1806
01:26:12,239 --> 01:26:13,920
north of the 134 which is where the

1807
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,719
residences and Retail uses are I know

1808
01:26:16,719 --> 01:26:18,480
they need parking up there and I don't

1809
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:20,040
want to take that away from them and it

1810
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,960
also that portion accounts for over % of

1811
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,480
the curb parking in the total project

1812
01:26:24,480 --> 01:26:26,440
area despite being only a third of the

1813
01:26:26,440 --> 01:26:28,560
length um and almost 100% of the retail

1814
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,800
parking okay and this would also connect

1815
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:32,760
to the verduga wash Highland Bike Lane

1816
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:34,960
and nearly to the rivil bike lane and uh

1817
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,280
I believe the bridge that the um that

1818
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,440
was talked about earlier okay thank you

1819
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:43,320
thank you mayor bman yes if I um I oh

1820
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,639
you want to ask a question do you yeah

1821
01:26:45,639 --> 01:26:47,679
you went really really fast through your

1822
01:26:47,679 --> 01:26:50,440
slides cuz you have I am interested

1823
01:26:50,440 --> 01:26:52,719
actually seeing the the rest of the info

1824
01:26:52,719 --> 01:26:55,159
that we just went past is there do you

1832
01:27:21,119 --> 01:27:24,470
basemore

1833
01:27:24,480 --> 01:27:27,440
good evening Council staff um very

1834
01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:29,480
excited about this project uh as I said

1835
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:31,480
to the commission last week I think this

1836
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:33,199
is a great opportunity to revitalize

1837
01:27:33,199 --> 01:27:35,760
this Corridor um I don't have much more

1838
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,600
to say beyond the previous speaker I

1839
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,679
think Kristen did a wonderful job of

1840
01:27:39,679 --> 01:27:42,280
summarizing uh the arguments in favor of

1841
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:46,480
2A as well as um option two south of the

1842
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:50,280
134 I think reducing a few um spots of

1843
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,159
parking that's on this Corridor south of

1844
01:27:52,159 --> 01:27:56,600
of the 134 is really um not much when

1845
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,199
you consider the uh safety that comes

1846
01:27:59,199 --> 01:28:02,040
with having that dedicated bike lane so

1847
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:03,400
please consider that when you're

1848
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,360
thinking about this um reducing like

1849
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,280
they the staff presented you know the

1850
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:12,400
reduction in 35% of uh uh I believe it

1851
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,320
was 35% less bike accidents that might

1852
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,400
result of this would be uh I think a

1853
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,280
huge gain so again please please I

1854
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,800
support 2A uh

1855
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:26,800
for the portion uh north of 134 and two

1856
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,679
South thank

presentations like that the community we

1866
01:28:58,679 --> 01:29:01,880
would love to see those um I wanted to

1867
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,199
start off by saying I am a member of the

1868
01:29:05,199 --> 01:29:07,960
community that's right they are impacted

1869
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:12,440
by uh traffic on San Fernando Road um in

1870
01:29:12,440 --> 01:29:14,320
fact my house was just a little bit off

1871
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,639
one of those slides that we saw earlier

1872
01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:19,360
um mostly speaking to north of the 134

1873
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,560
and at the 134 which is the bane of my

1874
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,040
existence right about there who else

1875
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,360
knows about this uh council member

1876
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,880
kassakian also knows about this

1877
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,639
experience of driving on San Fernando at

1878
01:29:33,639 --> 01:29:34,760
the

1879
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,320
134 so I wanted to say staff did a

1880
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,480
really good job of reaching out to the

1881
01:29:40,480 --> 01:29:43,119
public I really appreciated that they

1882
01:29:43,119 --> 01:29:46,920
not only made sure that people had uh

1883
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:48,880
visibility into what was happening when

1884
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,480
I reached out to them they were very

1885
01:29:50,480 --> 01:29:53,159
responsive I really appreciated that uh

1886
01:29:53,159 --> 01:29:55,360
the consultant also was really good at

1887
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,800
the open house and even beforehand there

1888
01:29:57,800 --> 01:29:59,880
were problems with the survey at first I

1889
01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:01,600
reached out to them to point out that it

1890
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,320
was requiring people to give an answer

1891
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,800
one two and three like minimum of three

1892
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,520
answers so um I'm not sure if those

1893
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,600
answers were taken away from the survey

1894
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,600
results that you saw at the beginning

1895
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,560
you couldn't say I have no problem with

1896
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,080
this road the way it is you couldn't say

1897
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:22,199
I don't want any of these um Solutions

1898
01:30:22,199 --> 01:30:24,600
so I let them know that and they changed

1899
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:27,840
it I really appreciated that um I did

1900
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:29,800
want to highlight the results of the

1901
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,360
doorto door canvasing obviously not many

1902
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:34,719
residents came out tonight but you saw

1903
01:30:34,719 --> 01:30:37,719
um in the staff report that um a large

1904
01:30:37,719 --> 01:30:39,920
majority of people like things the way

1905
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,400
they are they recognize that there could

1906
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,199
be a lot of impacts from reducing

1907
01:30:44,199 --> 01:30:46,840
traffic Lanes in particular also the off

1908
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:48,760
Street the parking I think more of an

1909
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,600
issue north of the

1910
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:54,350
134 so

1911
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:57,159
so I'm strongly opposed to any

1912
01:30:57,159 --> 01:30:59,040
alternatives that eliminate a traffic

1913
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,440
lane it's just a nightmare there already

1914
01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:05,760
I really want to support 2A I want to

1915
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,080
ask a question I know that staff doesn't

1916
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,000
need to answer me I hope one of you will

1917
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,520
ask this question what happens on

1918
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,679
southbound San Fernando at the

1919
01:31:16,679 --> 01:31:20,239
134 where there are two tra excuse me

1920
01:31:20,239 --> 01:31:22,560
that go to the left

1921
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,520
two traffic Lanes go through I was just

1922
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,600
there I can't see how you fit a bicycle

1923
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,760
lane there are they going to use sherrow

1924
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:30,600
right in that spot and if not how are

1925
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,440
they going to fit that bicycle lane

1926
01:31:32,440 --> 01:31:34,840
without reducing two lanes of traffic

1927
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,360
plus those two lanes that turn left it

1928
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,320
gets backed up really badly everybody

1929
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,119
wants to turn left it's almost

1930
01:31:41,119 --> 01:31:42,440
impossible to go straight through there

1931
01:31:42,440 --> 01:31:44,440
you get backed

1932
01:31:44,440 --> 01:31:47,199
up last thing nobody's talking about the

1933
01:31:47,199 --> 01:31:49,199
Landscaping I'll talk about it really

1934
01:31:49,199 --> 01:31:52,080
fast really fast about the Landscaping

1935
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:54,080
the last time they did landscaping they

1936
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,400
let it die let's not do that this time

1937
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:58,400
let's keep it alive the Rosemary is

1938
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,000
still alive maybe keep it thanks so much

1939
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:01,719
thank

1940
01:32:01,719 --> 01:32:11,790
you okay uh Eric

1941
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,000
sonan hi everyone um first of all I'm

1942
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:17,360
excited about this project as well I see

1943
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,199
some family like on the other side of

1944
01:32:19,199 --> 01:32:21,760
Glendale so I'm always on that road and

1945
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,960
it the traffic is horrible um I haven't

1946
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,040
come here while they've presented before

1947
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,639
so I just was wondering if um the I

1948
01:32:30,639 --> 01:32:31,920
don't know what it's called in the

1949
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,119
middle the thing that is full of trees

1950
01:32:35,119 --> 01:32:37,800
but the median the median yeah is there

1951
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,960
has that been talked about like if that

1952
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,880
can be made like thinner cuz I it seems

1953
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,719
like I don't know if that I haven't been

1954
01:32:45,719 --> 01:32:49,119
here so um but that could be saving some

1955
01:32:49,119 --> 01:32:51,159
space or cuz I know right now there's

1956
01:32:51,159 --> 01:32:54,320
nothing there at all so it's kind of

1957
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,040
going to take up a lot of space and then

1958
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:57,960
I know you mentioned some cross streets

1959
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,360
as to like where it starts and ends but

1960
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,000
uh is there a reason why like it doesn't

1961
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,800
go the whole way through San Fernando

1962
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:06,440
like from the beginning of South

1963
01:33:06,440 --> 01:33:09,199
Glendale all the way to the end I'd love

1964
01:33:09,199 --> 01:33:13,560
to know about that that's pretty much

1965
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:17,800
it okay thank you oh and then um also

1966
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:20,480
about the I know he said there's a like

1967
01:33:20,480 --> 01:33:22,760
one of the options had this southbound

1968
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,320
uh southbound uh bike lane could there

1969
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:28,480
be an option with like both bounds but

1970
01:33:28,480 --> 01:33:30,560
on that one side cuz I know some bike

1971
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,320
lanes are like that where it's like both

1972
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,080
ways but it's just like on one side of

1973
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:38,440
the street and saves a lot more

1974
01:33:38,440 --> 01:33:41,920
space yeah okay thank you we'll try to

1975
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:50,550
answer some of those questions um Mike

1976
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:52,920
mohill

1977
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:54,920
evening council members my name is Mike

1978
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,600
mohill I was in the comfort of my home a

1979
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:00,000
little while ago watching the council

1980
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:04,520
meeting and uh this project came up what

1981
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,719
what caught my eye was you did a survey

1982
01:34:07,719 --> 01:34:10,800
and x amount of people answered the

1983
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:15,400
survey probably knowing history maybe

1984
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,440
100 maybe

1985
01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:20,119
two but I doubt if a thousand people or

1986
01:34:20,119 --> 01:34:22,920
more answered the survey

1987
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,040
how can you get a th people to answer

1988
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,360
your survey when you require the public

1989
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,080
to go to the city

1990
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:33,000
website or for people will knock on

1991
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,440
doors can I make a suggestion and it's

1992
01:34:35,440 --> 01:34:37,239
free to the

1993
01:34:37,239 --> 01:34:39,880
city your Glendo Community newsletter

1994
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,800

announcement for a survey

1999
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:56,480
put it in your glender community

2000
01:34:56,480 --> 01:34:58,719

2001
01:34:58,719 --> 01:35:02,440
survey and send it into the city

2002
01:35:02,440 --> 01:35:05,520

people feel now the only people who are

2004
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:09,760
impacted this right now are probably the

2005
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,320
people who live live in the meded

2006
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,960
area but you know I live over there by

2007
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,520
uh sh

2008
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:18,920
Canyon you know I feel sorry for the

2009
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,080
people they want bike Lan that's fine

2010
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:22,520
okay

2011
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:23,760
but why don't you get an opinion from

2012
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:26,159
the rest of the city not just for the

2013
01:35:26,159 --> 01:35:29,159
people who live around the

2014
01:35:29,159 --> 01:35:31,239
corridor now my wife right now is very

2015
01:35:31,239 --> 01:35:32,520
mad at I'm talking about this subject

2016
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:33,920
matter by the

2017
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,119
way she said what you should be talking

2018
01:35:36,119 --> 01:35:39,440
about Mike is the traffic by the advaned

2019
01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:41,920
hospital that's where you should talk

2020
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,199
about slowing down

2021
01:35:44,199 --> 01:35:46,840
traffic but let's talk about

2022
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:51,159
surveys let's let's do realistic surveys

2023
01:35:51,159 --> 01:35:54,080
not not just a couple hundred people get

2024
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,760
a couple thousand

2025
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,719
residents they will let you know the

2026
01:35:59,719 --> 01:36:01,440
people who live up in Mantra will let

2027
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:03,920
you know the people who live up in

2028
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,760
Whiting Woods will let you know Ros Mo

2029
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:07,960
Glenn Oaks

Glendale Adams Hill will let you know

2032
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,560
but not just the couple hundred people

2033
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:19,280
who live along San Fernando Road thank

2034
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:22,280
you like I said my Community newslet is

2035
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,040
free to the public even the city can use

2036
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:30,790
it as Announcement by

2037
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:34,639
now we we have one caller Dennis W

2038
01:36:34,639 --> 01:36:37,119
Dennis you're on air you have three

2039
01:36:37,119 --> 01:36:39,480
minutes hi can everybody hear

2040
01:36:39,480 --> 01:36:43,320
me yes go ahead hello Council my name is

2041
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:44,960
Dennis mwyn and I'm a resident of

2042
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,840
Glendale and live a mile within a mile

2043
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,920
from San Fernando Road I travel that

2044
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:50,960
road often as a driver but never as a

2045
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,400
cyclist was frankly due to the danger of

2046
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:54,960
the proximity and the speed of the car

2047
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,480
is traveling on that road I'm calling

2048
01:36:57,480 --> 01:36:58,800
today to voice my support for

2049
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,239
alternative 2A while I believe that the

2050
01:37:01,239 --> 01:37:02,920
best option is alternative three and

2051
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,159
it's alternative but with the concerns

2052
01:37:05,159 --> 01:37:06,880
of the First Responders I can understand

2053
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:08,360
why I cannot be completed as currently

2054
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,239
designed I believe that there are

2055
01:37:10,239 --> 01:37:11,679
options that can create a protected bik

2056
01:37:11,679 --> 01:37:13,480
Lane in both directions such as the

2057
01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:15,440
enforcement of parking rules reducing

2058
01:37:15,440 --> 01:37:17,480
the number of abandoned cars client cars

2059
01:37:17,480 --> 01:37:19,639
from adjacent body auto body shops junk

2060
01:37:19,639 --> 01:37:22,159
hauling trucks crashed vehicles Etc

2061
01:37:22,159 --> 01:37:23,679
maybe widen the media and put the bike

2062
01:37:23,679 --> 01:37:24,840
Lanes in the middle of that to protect

2063
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,560
cyclist or road diet I'm positive that

2064
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:28,639
design team can come up with an

2065
01:37:28,639 --> 01:37:31,080
alternative that promote Mobility safety

2066
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:32,000
and

2067
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,159
equality the installation of a bike lane

2068
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:35,760
would create a bike network of bike

2069
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:37,400
lanes that would promote a community of

2070
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,599
Wellness Glendale is a great city with

2071
01:37:39,599 --> 01:37:41,159
the network of drivers being a dark

2072
01:37:41,159 --> 01:37:42,760
cloud hovering over the heads of its

2073
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:44,800
citizens we have a wonderful opportunity

2074
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:46,560
here to continue to separate ourselves

2075
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,480
from Los Angeles city with a priori

2076
01:37:49,480 --> 01:37:51,360
prioritization well big word on the

2077
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,040
citizens of the juel city we're a

2078
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,040
society of people and the implementation

2079
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,560
of 2A would be a step towards taking the

2080
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,440
road back for pedestrians and cyclists

2081
01:37:58,440 --> 01:38:00,639
and reducing our dependency on cars

2082
01:38:00,639 --> 01:38:01,719
thank

2083
01:38:01,719 --> 01:38:06,000
you thank you and that's all of our

2084
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,960
callers that's all okay wonderful Let's

2085
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:13,880
uh go around and see what we have thank

2086
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,880
you um let me ask

2087
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:20,119
uh let's see Mr

2088
01:38:20,119 --> 01:38:23,000
Somerville could we do to the two

2089
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:25,840
different options the uh 2A north of the

2090
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:31,199
134 and um the two the two south of 134

2091
01:38:31,199 --> 01:38:34,280
I mean that sounds maybe like a good

2092
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,520
idea Is it feasible yes right is it

2093
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,239
impactful for the parking because there

2094
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:41,880
are 63 parking stalls on Street on San

2095
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,199
Fernando Road that's south of the 134

2096
01:38:44,199 --> 01:38:46,679
that would be eliminated by doing

2097
01:38:46,679 --> 01:38:49,679
alternative 2 South of the 134 freeway

2098
01:38:49,679 --> 01:38:52,679
how many 63

2099
01:38:52,679 --> 01:38:57,159
63 okay and the other question is um the

2100
01:38:57,159 --> 01:39:00,960
median is right now designed at 9 ft

2101
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,400
correct correct is it possible to make

2102
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:06,560
it narrower so that you know we were um

2103
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,320
the mayor was asking about the buffer or

2104
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:12,920
about a it would take three feet uh to

2105
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,760
put um another bike path I get a bike

2106
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,639
lane on the other side uh could you

2107
01:39:18,639 --> 01:39:22,119
decrease the median and then give us a

2108
01:39:22,119 --> 01:39:24,639
give us parking and a bike path bike

2109
01:39:24,639 --> 01:39:28,199
lane I'm sorry bike lane on the east

2110
01:39:28,199 --> 01:39:32,239
side the 9 ft is the absolute minimum

2111
01:39:32,239 --> 01:39:34,360
width for the left turn movements that

2112
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:35,840
are required at each of the

2113
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:38,800
intersections along sanfernando Road

2114
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:40,800
it's also the minimum required if we

2115
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:42,400
stripe it as a

2116
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,960
two-way left turn

2117
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:48,719
lane for um access in and out of

2118
01:39:48,719 --> 01:39:50,400
driveways along the corridor that's

2119
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:51,639
currently been

2120
01:39:51,639 --> 01:39:54,360
designed into the project so anything

2121
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,080
less than nine in all of the left term

2122
01:39:57,080 --> 01:40:00,159
movements would go away or again it's

2123
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:01,960
it's the matter of having to transition

2124
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:04,760
in and out as we go and the length it

2125
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,960
takes to actually make those transitions

2126
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,080
work with very short spacing

2127
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:12,960
intersection to intersection to

2128
01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:17,119
intersection it's it's say the 14 out of

2129
01:40:17,119 --> 01:40:19,560
the 17 blocks you're unable to actually

2130
01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:22,320
Implement any form of buffer at 3T

2131
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:23,800
because of the length you need to make

2132
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:25,520
the transitions

2133
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:28,790
work thank

2134
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:32,159
you council member Satan any questions

2135
01:40:32,159 --> 01:40:35,840
um could you respond to Kate anger's

2136
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:38,679
question about um the ability to put

2137
01:40:38,679 --> 01:40:42,400
bike Lanes um by the

2138
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,000
134 yes it is she's not wrong it is very

2139
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,000
tight underneath that freeway in order

2140
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,080
to um provide the Dual left that that's

2141
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:53,760
required in the southbound um we have

2142
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:55,560
narrowed the lanes through there in

2143
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:58,440
order to fit the one southbound bike

2144
01:40:58,440 --> 01:41:04,070
lane in there an alternative

2145
01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:06,480
2A um follow up on that one yeah of

2146
01:41:06,480 --> 01:41:09,320
course so so that so you've worked out

2147
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,400
so is there is there a need for any

2148
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:14,719
special signal there for because I I

2149
01:41:14,719 --> 01:41:16,360
can't picture it I'm sorry but but a

2150
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:18,920
bike traversing cars getting onto the

2151
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:20,639
freeway how does the signaling work

2152
01:41:20,639 --> 01:41:21,480
there

2153
01:41:21,480 --> 01:41:24,599
the um southbound the class 2 bike lane

2154
01:41:24,599 --> 01:41:26,639
in the southbound direction is running

2155
01:41:26,639 --> 01:41:28,400
along that Westerly curb so it's running

2156
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,280
right along the railroad Corridor so the

2157
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,440
bikes themselves are not in conflict

2158
01:41:34,440 --> 01:41:36,159
with those making the left turn to go

2159
01:41:36,159 --> 01:41:38,119
onto Dorne Street to go to the freeway

2160
01:41:38,119 --> 01:41:39,480
they're runting parallel to the

2161
01:41:39,480 --> 01:41:41,679
southbound movement of

2162
01:41:41,679 --> 01:41:46,199
cars okay okay did you have another

2163
01:41:46,199 --> 01:41:48,960
question

2164
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,239
um no I just have comments so I'll

2165
01:41:52,239 --> 01:41:55,920
wait okay Council Riv kasak I asked all

2166
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:59,280
my questions thanks okay um I don't have

2167
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,040
much but

2168
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:05,360
um I did want to see if you could

2169
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,040
respond to two questions that uh one of

2170
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:10,199
the speakers raised one was why couldn't

2171
01:42:10,199 --> 01:42:13,760
we do more of San Fernando and the other

2172
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:18,159
was about uh two-way bike lane um if you

2173
01:42:18,159 --> 01:42:19,800
could just explain I know those were in

2174
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:21,520
your pres well second one was in your

2175
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,280
presentation but maybe you could just

2176
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,679
run through it again for for everyone's

2177
01:42:25,679 --> 01:42:27,960
sake I'll let me take that one first and

2178
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,119
I'll hand it to staff about the limit of

2179
01:42:30,119 --> 01:42:33,400
the project um on that side of it um but

2180
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,960
yes the alternative 3A was effectively

2181
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,560
that alternative that provided a two-way

2182
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,159
cycle track on the west side of San

2183
01:42:44,159 --> 01:42:48,840
Fernando Road the space required for

2184
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:52,400
that still necessitates the need to

2185
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,040
remove one lane of traffic on the street

2186
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:56,719
there's just not enough room curb to

2187
01:42:56,719 --> 01:43:00,400
curb to fit that facility in um

2188
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:04,040
additionally um that alternative because

2189
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,199
now we have two-way bike traffic on the

2190
01:43:07,199 --> 01:43:09,320
west side we have cyclists that are

2191
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:13,000
going against traffic that requires

2192
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,159
traffic signal modifications each one of

2193
01:43:15,159 --> 01:43:16,119
those

2194
01:43:16,119 --> 01:43:17,760
intersections and the those

2195
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:19,360
intersections that include the rail

2196
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,960
Corridor is what triggers the need to

2197
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,000
involve the Public Utilities Commission

2198
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,440
and metr Link and that's a 12 to 18month

2199
01:43:26,440 --> 01:43:29,520
process to get through that's what the

2200
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,159
detriment to that

2201
01:43:31,159 --> 01:43:36,440
alternative okay and the first

2202
01:43:36,440 --> 01:43:39,599
question uh Mr Mayor the the limits of

2203
01:43:39,599 --> 01:43:42,360
the uh project were based on the

2204
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,320
application you know the the Grant

2205
01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:45,679
application I believe that we had

2206
01:43:45,679 --> 01:43:48,679
submitted so that's those are that's the

2207
01:43:48,679 --> 01:43:52,080
extent that we have funding for okay all

2208
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:55,840
right um may have one more question you

2209
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:59,280
have another question I yes um the

2210
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:04,000
images that were shown with the uh junk

2211
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:08,760
trucks um along San Fernando I know this

2212
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,920
is an issue that I've had conversations

2213
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:15,320
with staff about previously um how do

2214
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:17,400
they get to just park there cuz I know

2215
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,599
we had that same issue that I had

2216
01:44:19,599 --> 01:44:21,199
brought up on col

2217
01:44:21,199 --> 01:44:23,800
where one of the mechanic shops was just

2218
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,560
putting out all the cars um and not

2219
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:30,760
allowing others to park there um it's

2220
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,599
not just taking away parking um but it's

2221
01:44:33,599 --> 01:44:35,840
also uh just makes the street look

2222
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,440
really ugly and you know I see San

2223
01:44:37,440 --> 01:44:41,199
Fernando also has a connector um Street

2224
01:44:41,199 --> 01:44:43,440
um when you're trying to go from Las VES

2225
01:44:43,440 --> 01:44:45,840
to the to glendell and then obviously

2226
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,920
from glendell to Burbank so um what

2227
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:53,550
rules do we have in place that can

2228
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:56,719
help get rid of that um what are some

2229
01:44:56,719 --> 01:44:59,280
measures that we could put in place cuz

2230
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,639
that seems to be an ongoing problem

2231
01:45:01,639 --> 01:45:04,000
council member saan I I believe the

2232
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:06,000
pictures that the speaker was sharing

2233
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,440
with you and showing were pictures of

2234
01:45:08,440 --> 01:45:12,280
trucks that haul away junk per se they

2235
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:16,000
were not junk cars and I'm not sure if

2236
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,960
there's a business on San Fernando or a

2237
01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:19,880
couple of businesses that are engaged in

2238
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:21,800
that kind of business business and those

2239
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:23,360
are the trucks they use for their

2240
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,280
operation and and businesses as far as

2241
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:27,800
the auto body shops that you're

2242
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,159
referring to our code enforcement has

2243
01:45:30,159 --> 01:45:32,040
been out there our parking enforcement

2244
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:35,320
been out there and they site them and uh

2245
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:38,840
that's pretty much uh what we can

2246
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:43,040
do so they remove them as we site

2247
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,280
them okay and they they can keep them

2248
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:48,880
there for like 3 days out of 10 72 hours

2249
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,040
per the California vehicle code

2250
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:52,320
and if it's even if it's the same

2251
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,159
vehicle or they just rotate the cars

2252
01:45:54,159 --> 01:45:56,790
that they

2253
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:58,760
have well

2254
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:04,040
okay um and then if if we did go with 2A

2255
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:07,199
um on the North side and then just two

2256
01:46:07,199 --> 01:46:09,119
on the south would this delay the

2257
01:46:09,119 --> 01:46:12,229
project

2258
01:46:12,239 --> 01:46:15,040
implementation if we moved forward with

2259
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:18,480
2A to the north two to the South um the

2260
01:46:18,480 --> 01:46:21,520
removal of the parking would

2261
01:46:21,520 --> 01:46:24,280
our recommendation the staff would be to

2262
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:25,760
it'd be another round of Outreach to

2263
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,520
those businesses specifically to

2264
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,480
understand what the impact is to them to

2265
01:46:30,480 --> 01:46:32,800
have lost the on street parking and we

2266
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:35,400
have gone door too through the corridor

2267
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:36,639
we've heard from many of those

2268
01:46:36,639 --> 01:46:41,080
businesses and the the uniform message

2269
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,960
was don't touch the parking they need it

2270
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,840
so there was going to if we move forward

2271
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:49,400
with that

2272
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:51,639
solution the engagement with the

2273
01:46:51,639 --> 01:46:53,000
businesses is going to be a critical

2274
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:56,800
step actually if I may um council member

2275
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,719
Satan uh we don't have the time to do

2276
01:46:59,719 --> 01:47:02,000
any additional Outreach we're looking at

2277
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:04,360
10 months to get this project designed

2278
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,639
and advertised and constructed so you

2279
01:47:06,639 --> 01:47:08,920
would have to rely on you know the

2280
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,400
feedback that we got the first time

2281
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,000
about the uh impact of removing

2282
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,119
parking that's all the questions I have

2283
01:47:17,119 --> 01:47:21,760
I want to hear from my colleagues um

2284
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:23,360
well I'll just wait when I make comments

2285
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,880
so okay do you have comments we can I

2286
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:30,000
think we can wrap it up okay well I

2287
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,960
think the project is H is a good one um

2288
01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:34,880
revitalizing this Corridor is a good

2289
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:36,920
idea and we've got the the funding for

2290
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,239
it uh one thing I noticed uh in the uh

2291
01:47:40,239 --> 01:47:41,960
the staff report is the fact that if we

2292
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,639
go with 2A there is still a possibility

2293
01:47:44,639 --> 01:47:46,599
in the future that we could add a bike

2294
01:47:46,599 --> 01:47:49,360
lane uh on the other side on the east

2295
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:53,080
side so uh giving uh that inform given

2296
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:55,960
that information um I think the median

2297
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,320
the bump outs the C oh that reminds me

2298
01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:00,840
the crosswalks I don't see that maroon

2299
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,960
and yellow do I on the oh good okay

2300
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:05,239
great I just wanted to make sure that

2301
01:48:05,239 --> 01:48:08,040
wasn't going to happen down there um but

2302
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:11,119
uh I think it's a again a good uh

2303
01:48:11,119 --> 01:48:14,880
compromise um I and U so I'm going to go

2304
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:17,080
along with uh with that recommendation

2305
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:23,030
that we use alternative 2A 2A okay

2306
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,520
colleagues yeah so

2307
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:29,800
um I I look very close to this

2308
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:32,400
uh these proposed improvements and I can

2309
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,280
tell you that I'm uh familiar with some

2310
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:37,320
of the issues that um Miss hunger

2311
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:41,239
pointed out and others have uh I I think

2312
01:48:41,239 --> 01:48:43,280
that there's not going to necessarily be

2313
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:46,000
an ideal solution for anyone because

2314
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,840
people are very used to um doing things

2315
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:50,159
in in a certain way the business

2316
01:48:50,159 --> 01:48:53,040
businesses are accustomed to uh feeling

2317
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,119
a sense some businesses not all but some

2318
01:48:55,119 --> 01:48:56,880
of the businesses have a sense of

2319
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:58,840
entitlement to the parking of the public

2320
01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:01,760
parking that's available there um there

2321
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:06,599
isn't necessarily um adherence to the

2322
01:49:06,599 --> 01:49:09,320
the rules of the road and to the speed

2323
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:11,599
limit um at various times it does get

2324
01:49:11,599 --> 01:49:14,679
congested around um Rush Hour especially

2325
01:49:14,679 --> 01:49:16,280
as people are either trying to get onto

2326
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:20,840
the 134 freeway or get off of it but do

2327
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:22,840
believe that one of the things that we

2328
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,000
continuously hear about and this is

2329
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,000
being um presented in the in

2330
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:32,119
the uh frame of we have to do this for

2331
01:49:32,119 --> 01:49:35,040
bicyclists or we have to do this for

2332
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:38,080
pedestrians uh I'm not necessarily sure

2333
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,920
if we build it they will come uh but the

2334
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:42,880
ones who do use it I suppose will feel a

2335
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,000
little bit safer if we have uh bike

2336
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,679
Lanes I personally believe uh protected

2337
01:49:47,679 --> 01:49:50,280
bike lanes are the best but given a

2338
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:51,639
number of considerations that we're

2339
01:49:51,639 --> 01:49:54,320
trying to balance including the access

2340
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:57,840
um of uh first responder vehicles uh

2341
01:49:57,840 --> 01:50:00,560
whether it's police or fire I think that

2342
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:03,960
um alternative 2A is the best compromise

2343
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,119
we can come up with I would also I also

2344
01:50:07,119 --> 01:50:09,080
believe that whatever changes we make

2345
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:11,560
may have present some challenges

2346
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:14,599
initially but people will adapt they

2347
01:50:14,599 --> 01:50:16,679
will figure out ways around

2348
01:50:16,679 --> 01:50:19,159
it as far as San Fernando Road is

2349
01:50:19,159 --> 01:50:21,159
concerned and I've said before in these

2350
01:50:21,159 --> 01:50:22,920
Chambers and I'll say it again I have a

2351
01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,520
lot of Burbank Envy one of the few

2352
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,800
things I envy about Burbank um is uh how

2353
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:30,840
nice their section of San Fernando Road

2354
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,040
looks in comparison to ours in

2355
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:34,800
comparison to what we have in our

2356
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:38,840
medians the the trees the shade um the

2357
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,840
bus stops uh and I think we could do

2358
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:44,679
better on our side now having said that

2359
01:50:44,679 --> 01:50:46,480
our section of San Fernando is not like

2360
01:50:46,480 --> 01:50:48,599
burbank's section of San Fernando theirs

2361
01:50:48,599 --> 01:50:50,520
leads immediately into into a very

2362
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:52,040
vibrant downtown area it's more

2363
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:53,800
commercial there's some residential

2364
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:57,239
whereas ours goes through a much uh more

2365
01:50:57,239 --> 01:51:00,280
Industrial Area um it is a lot of

2366
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:03,840
businesses a lot of shops um a lot of

2367
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:06,760
mechanic uh shops and other other

2368
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,000
different uses light industrial

2369
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:10,960
nevertheless that shouldn't be an excuse

2370
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,159
for it to look the way it does so I

2371
01:51:13,159 --> 01:51:15,280
think that we need to do some

2372
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:18,280
improvements and I think 2A um hopefully

2373
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:21,800
with some very creative

2374
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:23,800
um Nice Landscaping with some more

2375
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:25,800
mature trees will make it a more

2376
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,639
inviting and nicer uh drive for people

2377
01:51:28,639 --> 01:51:31,159
to enjoy as they slow down with these

2378
01:51:31,159 --> 01:51:35,480
new changes thank you counc

2379
01:51:35,480 --> 01:51:37,560
verat um I think what we have in front

2380
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:39,920
of is a beautification project and I

2381
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:41,040
think that's what we need to be

2382
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,760
concentrating on with understanding that

2383
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:47,079
it's also an opportunity for us to um

2384
01:51:47,079 --> 01:51:50,159
use it to enhance it um I'm in agreement

2385
01:51:50,159 --> 01:51:52,920
with the 2A um I do have a couple of

2386
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:54,840
comments with respect to I think as

2387
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:56,360
we're thinking down the road and the

2388
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:59,159
opportunities that are there um for the

2389
01:51:59,159 --> 01:52:02,000
future um to be mindful of the type of

2390
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,560
green um that we're installing on the

2391
01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:08,400
railroad side um and making sure that

2392
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,760
we're actually on the opposite side

2393
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:12,639
where the sidewalk is for us to actually

2394
01:52:12,639 --> 01:52:15,440
have a lot more shade um and shaded

2395
01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:18,679
trees that um allow for pedestrians to

2396
01:52:18,679 --> 01:52:20,840
have a better experience

2397
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,679
um I do want to commend the staff um and

2398
01:52:23,679 --> 01:52:26,040
the consultant on your community

2399
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,880
outreach um I was very impressed to see

2400
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:32,360
the door knocking numbers um and the

2401
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:33,199
different

2402
01:52:33,199 --> 01:52:35,679
languages um in which you communicated

2403
01:52:35,679 --> 01:52:38,599
in and keep it the good work

2404
01:52:38,599 --> 01:52:43,159
thanks thanks and um for me I um I think

2405
01:52:43,159 --> 01:52:46,119
2A is a good compromise I mean I would

2406
01:52:46,119 --> 01:52:48,280
you know if everything else were equal I

2407
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:50,599
would just go for three or

2408
01:52:50,599 --> 01:52:53,599
too but um I just think this roadway

2409
01:52:53,599 --> 01:52:56,639
it's it's it's just too problematic um

2410
01:52:56,639 --> 01:52:59,079
not the right time but maybe something

2411
01:52:59,079 --> 01:53:01,599
we could come back to in the future uh

2412
01:53:01,599 --> 01:53:05,119
if uh Transportation patterns evolve so

2413
01:53:05,119 --> 01:53:08,040
I'm good with TOA I I I am intrigued by

2414
01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:10,920
this idea of two to the south of the 134

2415
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:14,199
I think um I think the speaker made it

2416
01:53:14,199 --> 01:53:16,719
you know a very convincing case that the

2417
01:53:16,719 --> 01:53:19,400
businesses that are there have their own

2418
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:21,400
parking and people are not pulling up

2419
01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:24,159
and parking on the street to engage with

2420
01:53:24,159 --> 01:53:25,000
those

2421
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:28,320
businesses um and a lot of it is red

2422
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:30,320
curbs we're not losing that much parking

2423
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:33,560
in that area so um and I don't know you

2424
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:35,400
say you'd have to go back out and do

2425
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:37,040
more Outreach but we've done the

2426
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,280
Outreach we know the opinions um it's a

2427
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:43,199
matter of us making a policy decision so

2428
01:53:43,199 --> 01:53:46,360
um if my colleagues were were amable I

2429
01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:50,000
would certainly support to to the the

2430
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:54,400
south of the 134 and 2 a to the north um

2431
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:55,800
but I'll leave it I'll leave it to the

2432
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:57,440
rest of them on that the only other

2433
01:53:57,440 --> 01:53:59,520
thing I I I do want to bring up kind of

2434
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:02,679
a smaller point which is on slide

2435
01:54:02,679 --> 01:54:06,159
10 um this was brought to my attention

2436
01:54:06,159 --> 01:54:09,800
if you could pull up slide 10 there

2437
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,159
um I think you're building in a slip

2438
01:54:13,159 --> 01:54:16,639
lane right is that that's not there now

2439
01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:19,400
right that where it says that slip lane

2440
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:22,760
it says enhanced cross rock yeah current

2441
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:25,400
currently it is a freeer turn movement

2442
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,840
there this is the lane that heads on

2443
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:32,920
Colorado to the freeway ramp um

2444
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:36,079
the crosswalk today goes from Curb

2445
01:54:36,079 --> 01:54:37,719
return to curb return and there's a

2446
01:54:37,719 --> 01:54:41,679
painted Island out there today right um

2447
01:54:41,679 --> 01:54:43,159
this is looking we're looking at

2448
01:54:43,159 --> 01:54:45,560
alternatives for this um because we do

2449
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:47,239
know the challenges of having the

2450
01:54:47,239 --> 01:54:49,239
interface of a free right turn movement

2451
01:54:49,239 --> 01:54:50,880
versus pedestrians and

2452
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:54,800
cyclist um for Solutions this is one of

2453
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:56,560
them that we're looking at with a raised

2454
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,239
Island um it does shorten the the paths

2455
01:54:59,239 --> 01:55:02,880
of travel it moves The Pedestrian

2456
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:05,800
crosswalk across that right turn linee

2457
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,119
into an area more visible as opposed to

2458
01:55:08,119 --> 01:55:09,840
being further around the curb return

2459
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:13,159
where it's at today um so there's

2460
01:55:13,159 --> 01:55:15,400
several Alternatives being evaluated

2461
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:18,000
there is no final decision yet on what

2462
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,639
this configuration is going to look like

2463
01:55:20,639 --> 01:55:22,360
yeah that that I mean we've talked about

2464
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:24,920
slip Lanes before and how slip Lanes do

2465
01:55:24,920 --> 01:55:27,400
encourage uh speeding through an

2466
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,360
intersection um obviously makes it

2467
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:31,280
pretty easy and people are oriented

2468
01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:32,760
towards getting on the freeway so

2469
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:34,560
they've got that that highspeed

2470
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:35,719
mentality so they're going to be

2471
01:55:35,719 --> 01:55:38,560
whipping around that um anybody Crossing

2472
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:41,159
that is probably um at some

2473
01:55:41,159 --> 01:55:46,119
risk uh and um you could you could just

2474
01:55:46,119 --> 01:55:48,480
have a a sharp turn radius there you

2475
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:50,800
could just build it out right um where

2476
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:52,360
you have it painted now you could build

2477
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:54,719
it out uh I don't know what you would

2478
01:55:54,719 --> 01:55:57,199
put there but but I would personally I

2479
01:55:57,199 --> 01:55:59,520
would like to see us look at ways that

2480
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:04,079
we can avoid uh creating um a a you know

2481
01:56:04,079 --> 01:56:05,560
a passageway there that's going to

2482
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:08,000
really you know encourage people to

2483
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:09,840
speed through it and potentially have

2484
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:11,800
conflict with pedestrians so I would

2485
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,800
just put that out but um I will um take

2486
01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:17,840
a motion in a second if unless anybody

2487
01:56:17,840 --> 01:56:20,480
has any more comments is there let me

2488
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:23,079
just ask is there support for the no two

2489
01:56:23,079 --> 01:56:25,079
below the

2490
01:56:25,079 --> 01:56:29,199
134 I would be open to it no I would not

2491
01:56:29,199 --> 01:56:30,920
I think that parking is very important

2492
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,920
to the business owners and um I think

2493
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:35,079
that's what we have to take into

2494
01:56:35,079 --> 01:56:37,480
consideration as well but she the thing

2495
01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:39,719
was she showed how the business owners

2496
01:56:39,719 --> 01:56:42,000
don't use that parking because they have

2497
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:44,719
large parking lots for their businesses

2498
01:56:44,719 --> 01:56:47,159
that's where I'm I'm kind of that's what

2499
01:56:47,159 --> 01:56:48,960
was intriguing about that is if they

2500
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,440
have their own parking people visiting

2501
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,239
those businesses are not parking on the

2502
01:56:53,239 --> 01:56:55,320
street I don't know who is parking on

2503
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,800
the street if I may Mr Mayor I'd like to

2504
01:56:57,800 --> 01:56:59,719
ask Mr Somerville to kind of talk a

2505
01:56:59,719 --> 01:57:01,440
little bit more about that Outreach and

2506
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,920
what they found south of the uh the

2507
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,280
freeway yeah and it goes back to the

2508
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:08,360
door-to-door canvasing of the businesses

2509
01:57:08,360 --> 01:57:10,800
through the corridor as a whole and I

2510
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,520
say unilaterally each of the businesses

2511
01:57:13,520 --> 01:57:15,639
we're very concerned about losing

2512
01:57:15,639 --> 01:57:19,960
parking um not every business has

2513
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:24,520
off-site parking for themselves um it

2514
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:27,159
the parking that was shown offsite are

2515
01:57:27,159 --> 01:57:29,000
all private lots for

2516
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,480
businesses it's not public parking as

2517
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:35,480
was mentioned previously um so like one

2518
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:38,360
can one user can use another parking lot

2519
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:40,719
if parking is eliminated they don't have

2520
01:57:40,719 --> 01:57:42,360
the right to be using the parking lot if

2521
01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:45,360
it's not their business so it's a it's a

2522
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:48,000
little bigger picture view that would

2523
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:50,800
have to be looked at about is it is

2524
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:52,159
there really sufficient parking out

2525
01:57:52,159 --> 01:57:56,040
there today but again what we've heard

2526
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:58,400
throughout the Outreach efforts

2527
01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:00,960
was the businesses are relying on the

2528
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:02,719
parking for whether it's employees

2529
01:58:02,719 --> 01:58:05,270
whether it's

2530
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:08,960
customers okay may I'm gonna I'm I'm

2531
01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:12,400
thinking to a 2 a okay that that answer

2532
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:14,520
okay well let's get a motion okay I'll

2533
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:17,400
I'll move um agend the motion accepting

2534
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:18,960
staff's recommendation to proceed with

2535
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:19,960
the design

2536
01:58:19,960 --> 01:58:22,960
for the implmentation of alternative 2A

2537
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:24,000
a

2538
01:58:24,000 --> 01:58:28,480

2595
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:19,440

colleagues uh agreed with that suggest I

2601
02:01:35,280 --> 02:01:36,880
I agreed on it based on the assumption

2602
02:01:36,880 --> 02:01:40,520
that that the mayor had said that

2603
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:43,480
yeah we may have to postpone it till

2604
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:48,030
till October in that

2605
02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:50,280
case

2606
02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:52,840
I mean had you not confirmed that no I

2607
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:55,960
mean I'm on a trip to Europe you know um

2608
02:01:55,960 --> 02:01:57,960
to get up in the middle of the night to

2609
02:01:57,960 --> 02:01:59,719
make a vote on something that we talked

2610
02:01:59,719 --> 02:02:02,159
about is something I could do but to get

2611
02:02:02,159 --> 02:02:05,639
on for an important item like this

2612
02:02:05,639 --> 02:02:09,040
um is is you know that's not a

2613
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:11,880
reasonable request council member Divine

2614
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:14,679
did you have

2615
02:02:14,679 --> 02:02:17,920
information about the mayor's yeah I

2616
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:20,880
understood that he would able to on yeah

2617
02:02:20,880 --> 02:02:24,920
B telephonically I did not agree to that

2618
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,920
well staff's already gone so um well

2619
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:29,239
then we're going to have to postpone it

2620
02:02:29,239 --> 02:02:32,400
till I'm I'm a little ped that I I was

2621
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:34,599
led to believe that the mayor was going

2622
02:02:34,599 --> 02:02:38,119
to anyways I apologize mayor brotman

2623
02:02:38,119 --> 02:02:39,440
should have waited for you to return

2624
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:42,159
into the chambers before we agreed to

2625
02:02:42,159 --> 02:02:43,679
move on to something that would have

2626
02:02:43,679 --> 02:02:46,440
been nice the mayor uh just for

2627
02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:48,440
clarification the mayor had indicated

2628
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:52,280
that he is able to call in to vote but

2629
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:56,960
as the mayor uh again uh indicated maybe

2630
02:02:56,960 --> 02:03:00,040
he can call in for uh to cast a vote but

2631
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:02,840
to participate in deliberations maybe

2632
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:04,480
that'll be difficult for

2633
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:07,360
him oh I I think it would only be fair

2634
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:10,079
that all parties that want to be here

2635
02:03:10,079 --> 02:03:13,880
are here in person and so I supported

2636
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:17,040
that with the understanding that I was

2637
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:18,400
under the impression that the mayor was

2638
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:21,189
okay with the

2639
02:03:21,199 --> 02:03:23,320
okay so we'll wait until probably the

2640
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:25,119

02:03:25,119 --> 02:03:27,719

ad out committee's work plan we're going

2674
02:04:53,159 --> 02:04:54,800
to start with the marketing aspect and

2675
02:04:54,800 --> 02:04:58,320
then later on the mediation so the

2676
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:00,760
council tasked with the committee with

2677
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:02,079
uh looking into the marketing and

2678
02:05:02,079 --> 02:05:04,800
Outreach strategy of the uh rental

2679
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:07,679
rights program uh staff took a couple of

2680
02:05:07,679 --> 02:05:09,440
reports to the committee the committee

2681
02:05:09,440 --> 02:05:12,079
discussed strategies and staff took

2682
02:05:12,079 --> 02:05:14,639
their insights and came up with this uh

2683
02:05:14,639 --> 02:05:20,750
report that we're presenting today um so

2684
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:22,599
the committee had three goals in mind

2685
02:05:22,599 --> 02:05:25,119
when they discuss the strategy uh

2686
02:05:25,119 --> 02:05:27,000
including increasing awareness promoting

2687
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:29,719
engagement and providing education and

2688
02:05:29,719 --> 02:05:32,239
resources uh so for the increased

2689
02:05:32,239 --> 02:05:34,119
awareness obviously we want to be uh we

2690
02:05:34,119 --> 02:05:36,320
want the community to know that we exist

2691
02:05:36,320 --> 02:05:38,239
uh they're aware of us want to get the

2692
02:05:38,239 --> 02:05:39,800
word out on the rental rights program so

2693
02:05:39,800 --> 02:05:41,440
tenants and landlords are aware of the

2694
02:05:41,440 --> 02:05:44,840
program and can utilize um the services

2695
02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:46,840
and the protections to promote

2696
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,599
engagement we want the commune Community

2697
02:05:49,599 --> 02:05:52,280
to be able to come to us engage with our

2698
02:05:52,280 --> 02:05:54,159
content so we understand what their

2699
02:05:54,159 --> 02:05:56,079
needs are and we can better address

2700
02:05:56,079 --> 02:05:58,320
those needs and third uh provide

2701
02:05:58,320 --> 02:06:00,880
education and out uh resources obviously

2702
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:02,960
we want to be able to have resources

2703
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:04,880
available to provide to them when they

2704
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:06,920
come to us when they visit our websites

2705
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:11,320
when they see us on social media

2706
02:06:11,320 --> 02:06:15,079
and so the first part of

2707
02:06:15,079 --> 02:06:17,760
that well I have a slide missing here

2708
02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:19,639
but the first part of that was creating

2709
02:06:19,639 --> 02:06:22,559
a website uh that would serve as a hub

2710
02:06:22,559 --> 02:06:24,239
for the rental rights program our

2711
02:06:24,239 --> 02:06:26,800
current website is a little funky uh

2712
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:28,800
it's hard to navigate so the goal was to

2713
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:31,400
create a website that is user friendly

2714
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:33,719
easy to navigate uh it serves as a

2715
02:06:33,719 --> 02:06:35,400
central hub for landlords and tenants to

2716
02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:38,880
access information uh guides find out

2717
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:41,159
when events are coming up

2718
02:06:41,159 --> 02:06:44,840
uh frequently ask questions and an easy

2719
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:47,079
place for for them to access have a

2720
02:06:47,079 --> 02:06:49,159

and see what our future upcoming events

2742
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:49,679
on FAQ for any question questions that

2743
02:07:49,679 --> 02:07:52,639
landlords or tenants have and a contact

2744
02:07:52,639 --> 02:07:56,480
page it just has our contact information

2745
02:07:56,480 --> 02:07:58,920
so the other aspect of our marketing is

2746
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:00,520
social media something that we need to

2747
02:08:00,520 --> 02:08:02,920
improve on and the committee noticed

2748
02:08:02,920 --> 02:08:05,679
that and with as far as social media is

2749
02:08:05,679 --> 02:08:08,199
concerned um we're going to create new

2750
02:08:08,199 --> 02:08:11,400
content hopefully use the city's U

2751
02:08:11,400 --> 02:08:14,040
already existing social media platforms

2752
02:08:14,040 --> 02:08:16,119
to reach an a specific audience

2753
02:08:16,119 --> 02:08:17,960
considering social media we can Target

2754
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:20,079
specific audiences that we want to get

2755
02:08:20,079 --> 02:08:22,520
the information that glendell residents

2756
02:08:22,520 --> 02:08:23,760
renters

2757
02:08:23,760 --> 02:08:27,079
homeowners um social media is going to

2758
02:08:27,079 --> 02:08:29,880
be targeting a younger audience versus

2759
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:32,159
our traditional medium where we target

2760
02:08:32,159 --> 02:08:34,760
an older audience uh the good thing

2761
02:08:34,760 --> 02:08:37,079
about social media is that it's organic

2762
02:08:37,079 --> 02:08:40,800
sharing uh um the organic sharing allows

2763
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:43,360
it to reach a wider audience so we might

2764
02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:45,719
create content for specific audience but

2765
02:08:45,719 --> 02:08:48,440
through the medium it gets shared with

2766
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:49,880
but an audience that we weren't

2767
02:08:49,880 --> 02:08:52,639
expecting to share with so the reach is

2768
02:08:52,639 --> 02:08:56,159
much wider um we create again compelling

2769
02:08:56,159 --> 02:08:57,520
content

2770
02:08:57,520 --> 02:09:03,390
infograph um staff describing the

2771
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:05,520
program so our traditional marketing

2772
02:09:05,520 --> 02:09:08,320
will continue uh with print material we

2773
02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:10,480
plan on sending targeted mailers uh

2774
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:12,360
we've done this in the past where we

2775
02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:14,920
target uh majority of residents in

2776
02:09:14,920 --> 02:09:17,400
glendell and landlords in and outside of

2777
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:20,880
glendell uh we will be uh sending flyers

2778
02:09:20,880 --> 02:09:25,400
and brur in the gwp mailers and uh we

2779
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,199
also plan on sending BR to any new

2780
02:09:27,199 --> 02:09:28,239
properties that are purchased in

2781
02:09:28,239 --> 02:09:29,800
glendell so the landlords are aware of

2782
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:33,159
our rules and reg regulations we also

2783
02:09:33,159 --> 02:09:35,320
plan on having inserts in what used to

2784
02:09:35,320 --> 02:09:36,840
be called the thirds day folders for

2785
02:09:36,840 --> 02:09:39,040
gusd I'm not sure what that process is

2786
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:41,000
now but they do send out packets to

2787
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:45,679
students so we plan on doing that as

2788
02:09:45,679 --> 02:09:49,280
well and another new part of of what the

2789
02:09:49,280 --> 02:09:51,239
committee uh recommended was creating

2790
02:09:51,239 --> 02:09:53,320
Partnerships in the community with

2791
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:54,440
existing

2792
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:56,360
organizations uh we want to build

2793
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:58,320
relationships with management companies

2794
02:09:58,320 --> 02:09:59,920
tenant organizations landlord

2795
02:09:59,920 --> 02:10:01,960
organizations so we're aware of the

2796
02:10:01,960 --> 02:10:03,679
problems before they become much bigger

2797
02:10:03,679 --> 02:10:05,880
problems so we can address them quicker

2798
02:10:05,880 --> 02:10:08,199
uh so we can leverage resource resources

2799
02:10:08,199 --> 02:10:10,679
and expertise uh so we can train their

2800
02:10:10,679 --> 02:10:12,400
staff if they need training so we can

2801
02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:14,679
understand what their needs are as uh

2802
02:10:14,679 --> 02:10:17,239
landlords and

2803
02:10:17,239 --> 02:10:19,559
tenants

2804
02:10:19,559 --> 02:10:21,520
and then we will continue community

2805
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:24,719
outreach uh our plan is to go into each

2806
02:10:24,719 --> 02:10:26,480
neighborhood of glendell have small

2807
02:10:26,480 --> 02:10:28,360
intimate meetings we used to have much

2808
02:10:28,360 --> 02:10:30,559
larger meetings but it U we found that

2809
02:10:30,559 --> 02:10:32,040
it wasn't effective not a lot of people

2810
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:34,280
were showing up but our smaller intimate

2811
02:10:34,280 --> 02:10:37,000
meetings in specific neighborhoods we

2812
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:38,520
were getting a lot of traction so we're

2813
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:40,719
going to continue that uh we'll make

2814
02:10:40,719 --> 02:10:43,719
sure to cover uh all areas of glendell

2815
02:10:43,719 --> 02:10:46,679
multiple languages uh each month we will

2816
02:10:46,679 --> 02:10:48,199
be at a different neighborhood in GL

2817
02:10:48,199 --> 02:10:49,840
lendel just to make sure that we cover

2818
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:52,040
cover our

2819
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:54,960
bases and then yearly we will evaluate

2820
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:59,079
the uh effectiveness of the Outreach So

2821
02:10:59,079 --> 02:11:02,480
based on how uh how how many people are

2822
02:11:02,480 --> 02:11:05,280
showing up at our meetings uh social

2823
02:11:05,280 --> 02:11:09,280
media analytics website reach um and we

2824
02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:11,159
will refine and optimize based on that

2825
02:11:11,159 --> 02:11:13,199
data to create a better program moving

2826
02:11:13,199 --> 02:11:15,320
forward create a better Outreach and see

2827
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:16,679
where we're being effective and where

2828
02:11:16,679 --> 02:11:20,520
we're not uh this is the timeline of how

2829
02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:21,840
we plan on doing things so we'll

2830
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:23,760
launched the website we'll conduct

2831
02:11:23,760 --> 02:11:25,520
surveys in the beginning so we can have

2832
02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:28,159
something to test against uh later on in

2833
02:11:28,159 --> 02:11:30,440
the months we'll develop print materials

2834
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:33,559

targeted social media advertising and

2843
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:58,199
then the rest of it is basically repeat

2844
02:11:58,199 --> 02:12:02,679
until uh 910 where we analyze the

2845
02:12:02,679 --> 02:12:05,800
results and either come back to council

2846
02:12:05,800 --> 02:12:07,880

02:12:07,880 --> 02:12:09,559
effective uh marketing

2848
02:12:09,559 --> 02:12:11,840
strategy uh that concludes the first

2849
02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:16,030
part as far as

2850
02:12:16,040 --> 02:12:19,239
advertising um you want to just move on

2851
02:12:19,239 --> 02:12:20,840
and we'll do the second part and then

2852
02:12:20,840 --> 02:12:22,320
well why don't we just comment on this

2853
02:12:22,320 --> 02:12:23,639
have any comments well I just wanted to

2854
02:12:23,639 --> 02:12:25,440
say it seems like very comprehensive

2855
02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:28,520
marketing strategy uh you're hitting all

2856
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:31,320
you know every neighborhood every trying

2857
02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:34,320
to get every person in the gwp mailing

2858
02:12:34,320 --> 02:12:37,199
list every language is being considered

2859
02:12:37,199 --> 02:12:40,880
you you've um simplified I think uh I'll

2860
02:12:40,880 --> 02:12:43,280
have to try it myself then I'll know uh

2861
02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:46,280
the uh the website so um thank you for

2862
02:12:46,280 --> 02:12:49,480
for all of this and uh um I hopefully

2863
02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:51,559
that uh you know we we can get the word

2864
02:12:51,559 --> 02:12:53,920
out using all of your your new

2865
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:55,960
strategies thank

2866
02:12:55,960 --> 02:12:57,880
you do you have any questions or

2867
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:01,880
comments or I I do okay okay well then

2868
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:04,320
we'll go through this one first so um

2869
02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:06,559
currently how does one get a hold of a

2870
02:13:06,559 --> 02:13:09,239
live person I think that the website

2871
02:13:09,239 --> 02:13:11,760
that you showed has pretty good

2872
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:13,520
information on there but if someone

2873
02:13:13,520 --> 02:13:16,159
wants to speak to an actual person and I

2874
02:13:16,159 --> 02:13:18,480
say this because I know that the city

2875
02:13:18,480 --> 02:13:20,880
went through an exercise of creating a

2876
02:13:20,880 --> 02:13:23,199
number of Phone trees and Pathways to

2877
02:13:23,199 --> 02:13:27,480
try and um create efficiencies I

2878
02:13:27,480 --> 02:13:29,520
personally am a little oldfashioned and

2879
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:31,440
I like to actually speak to a living

2880
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:34,239
human being right so uh our hotline we

2881
02:13:34,239 --> 02:13:36,920
have a hotline it's on all on on all our

2882
02:13:36,920 --> 02:13:46,950
brur it's

2883
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:50,280
8185483280 and rent glendaleca.gov if

2884
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:52,000
anyone wants to email

2885
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:55,199
us both again myself and Andra need

2886
02:13:55,199 --> 02:13:57,800
respond and so this is a number through

2887
02:13:57,800 --> 02:14:00,800
which we received uh what was it about

2888
02:14:00,800 --> 02:14:04,559
600 or 800 calls or uh the 600 calls

2889
02:14:04,559 --> 02:14:06,400
would be this year but it's already 800

2890
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:08,159
since uh I believe the report was

2891
02:14:08,159 --> 02:14:10,719
released but 800 calls that's the number

2892
02:14:10,719 --> 02:14:14,000
that uh people are calling that's how

2893
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:16,920
how we're getting that figure so um

2894
02:14:16,920 --> 02:14:18,880
after someone calls that number and

2895
02:14:18,880 --> 02:14:21,040
we've spoken to them do we ask a

2896
02:14:21,040 --> 02:14:22,400
question how did you hear about this

2897
02:14:22,400 --> 02:14:24,840
number no we have not been asking that

2898
02:14:24,840 --> 02:14:27,639
question okay um I would like to see us

2899
02:14:27,639 --> 02:14:29,520
ask that question because that is going

2900
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:31,599
to help us understand where and how

2901
02:14:31,599 --> 02:14:33,159
people are getting information they

2902
02:14:33,159 --> 02:14:34,440
obviously found the number it would be

2903
02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:36,360
good to know which of the methods of

2904
02:14:36,360 --> 02:14:37,760
getting the information out there is

2905
02:14:37,760 --> 02:14:40,119
most effective maybe people are using an

2906
02:14:40,119 --> 02:14:41,840
online search engine to come across it

2907
02:14:41,840 --> 02:14:44,079
or you know they're Meandering through

2908
02:14:44,079 --> 02:14:46,800
the Maze of a municipal website find it

2909
02:14:46,800 --> 02:14:49,000
um also a bus ads are we going to be

2910
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:52,400
utilizing bus shelter ads or our own um

2911
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:55,599
beine buses to promote this program that

2912
02:14:55,599 --> 02:14:57,199
has been a thought but we haven't really

2913
02:14:57,199 --> 02:14:59,040
looked into it we can look into doing

2914
02:14:59,040 --> 02:15:01,239
that we thought about it but nothing

2915
02:15:01,239 --> 02:15:03,159
serious but we

2916
02:15:03,159 --> 02:15:06,159
can well I I I would certainly support

2917
02:15:06,159 --> 02:15:09,880
the idea of using bus um our bus system

2918
02:15:09,880 --> 02:15:11,880
to get the information out there in fact

2919
02:15:11,880 --> 02:15:14,000
the more we can do the better but uh I

2920
02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:15,760
also would like us to know how people

2921
02:15:15,760 --> 02:15:18,320
are hearing about us and then also if

2922
02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:20,559
there is the possibility I don't want to

2923
02:15:20,559 --> 02:15:24,559
inundate folks um with information but

2924
02:15:24,559 --> 02:15:28,880
uh getting a survey answered uh or a few

2925
02:15:28,880 --> 02:15:31,040
questions that can ascertain what their

2926
02:15:31,040 --> 02:15:34,199
impression of of the service that they

2927
02:15:34,199 --> 02:15:35,719
received or the answers they received

2928
02:15:35,719 --> 02:15:38,320
was was it helpful was it not helpful

2929
02:15:38,320 --> 02:15:41,870
Etc thank

2930
02:15:41,880 --> 02:15:44,719
you um you went through the website

2931
02:15:44,719 --> 02:15:48,639
really quickly um I didn't catch um is

2932
02:15:48,639 --> 02:15:51,880
there an option um for translation of

2933
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:53,719
the website materials yes uh we're going

2934
02:15:53,719 --> 02:15:56,000
to have it available in again Spanish

2935
02:15:56,000 --> 02:15:59,760
Armenian Korean talag and every other

2936
02:15:59,760 --> 02:16:01,480
language that we have access to with

2937
02:16:01,480 --> 02:16:04,239
through the translator okay um I think

2938
02:16:04,239 --> 02:16:07,119
the two other I mean this is really um

2939
02:16:07,119 --> 02:16:10,599
impressive and extensive um I would

2940
02:16:10,599 --> 02:16:14,079
definitely add um ethnic

2941
02:16:14,079 --> 02:16:17,880
media um to your list for outreach um I

2942
02:16:17,880 --> 02:16:20,960
think whether it's the um Latino

2943
02:16:20,960 --> 02:16:24,079
Community the Filipino and Korean or the

2944
02:16:24,079 --> 02:16:27,199
Armenian um the demographic tends to

2945
02:16:27,199 --> 02:16:29,840
also the most vulnerable tend to also

2946
02:16:29,840 --> 02:16:32,439
turn to you know even like the Army and

2947
02:16:32,439 --> 02:16:36,439
TV stations um for their information and

2948
02:16:36,439 --> 02:16:38,920
whether it's through interviews or

2949
02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:42,479
through an ad that we can we can place

2950
02:16:42,479 --> 02:16:45,120
and then I think with the Partnerships

2951
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:47,120
um one of the names or one of the

2952
02:16:47,120 --> 02:16:48,880
categories that I think is missing is

2953
02:16:48,880 --> 02:16:51,319
the senior buildings and the senior

2954
02:16:51,319 --> 02:16:53,760
housing buildings I think you know

2955
02:16:53,760 --> 02:16:55,719
making sure that this information is

2956
02:16:55,719 --> 02:16:57,920
also reaching the

2957
02:16:57,920 --> 02:17:00,800
seniors would be critical that's

2958
02:17:00,800 --> 02:17:04,160
it thank you and yeah I I'll just say I

2959
02:17:04,160 --> 02:17:07,120
I think this is really strong uh

2960
02:17:07,120 --> 02:17:10,960
comprehensive plan and uh I'm excited to

2961
02:17:10,960 --> 02:17:15,040
see us execute it um on the on the

2962
02:17:15,040 --> 02:17:18,439
rotating workshops I I I like I like

2963
02:17:18,439 --> 02:17:20,719
that and and hope that um and I think

2964
02:17:20,719 --> 02:17:22,679
the intent is is to be reaching out to

2965
02:17:22,679 --> 02:17:24,920
both tenants and landlords and making

2966
02:17:24,920 --> 02:17:27,599
sure that um the community on you know

2967
02:17:27,599 --> 02:17:29,359
both both of these groups understand

2968
02:17:29,359 --> 02:17:32,479
what the rules of the road are um

2969
02:17:32,479 --> 02:17:36,120
because um as I've spoken to some people

2970
02:17:36,120 --> 02:17:37,599
about I think part of the problem is

2971
02:17:37,599 --> 02:17:40,240
people just don't necessarily know what

2972
02:17:40,240 --> 02:17:42,120
the obligations are of a landlord what

2973
02:17:42,120 --> 02:17:43,760
the what the obligations are of a tenant

2974
02:17:43,760 --> 02:17:47,240
and the rights and and all that so um so

2975
02:17:47,240 --> 02:17:48,960
it's great

2976
02:17:48,960 --> 02:17:53,559
yeah okay let's move on then to the next

2977
02:17:53,559 --> 02:17:58,830
piece

2978
02:17:58,840 --> 02:18:01,000
so no we're not done we're not done the

2979
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:03,359
agenda yeah we'll move on to the second

2980
02:18:03,359 --> 02:18:08,120
part so the third U act action or the

2981
02:18:08,120 --> 02:18:11,639
third item that the committee was uh uh

2982
02:18:11,639 --> 02:18:13,840
signed to review was a mediation program

2983
02:18:13,840 --> 02:18:16,040
and the possibility of implementing one

2984
02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:19,840
in glendel um I'm going to present the

2985
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:22,080
a PowerPoint similar to what was

2986
02:18:22,080 --> 02:18:24,319
presented to the committee and then we

2987
02:18:24,319 --> 02:18:27,519
can discuss their uh s suggestions on a

2988
02:18:27,519 --> 02:18:30,240
mediation program so as you all are

2989
02:18:30,240 --> 02:18:32,760
aware a mediation program is uh designed

2990
02:18:32,760 --> 02:18:34,880
to basically bring two parties together

2991
02:18:34,880 --> 02:18:37,319
to come to a conclu uh or work things

2992
02:18:37,319 --> 02:18:40,040
out as simple as that uh two parties

2993
02:18:40,040 --> 02:18:42,000
that have an issue uh it's designed to

2994
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:44,160
put them in a room together so they can

2995
02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:46,080
come to a conclusion that's beneficial

2996
02:18:46,080 --> 02:18:47,880
for both parties or find find some

2997
02:18:47,880 --> 02:18:48,679
common

2998
02:18:48,679 --> 02:18:51,719
ground um if the council decides that

2999
02:18:51,719 --> 02:18:53,240
they want to move forward with a

3000
02:18:53,240 --> 02:18:54,719
mediation program there are going to be

3001
02:18:54,719 --> 02:18:58,240
a few points decision points uh we'll

3002
02:18:58,240 --> 02:18:59,840
have to decide whether it's a voluntary

3003
02:18:59,840 --> 02:19:01,920
program or mediation or mandatory

3004
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:04,800
program so that would mean whether the

3005
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:06,760
landlords or tenants are required to

3006
02:19:06,760 --> 02:19:09,040
participate or their participation is

3007
02:19:09,040 --> 02:19:11,240
voluntary we would have to figure out

3008
02:19:11,240 --> 02:19:12,880
what type of disputes the program

3009
02:19:12,880 --> 02:19:14,599
addresses rent increases security

3010
02:19:14,599 --> 02:19:17,840
deposits evictions um what who operates

3011
02:19:17,840 --> 02:19:19,800
the program whether it's a professional

3012
02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:23,080
staff that we hire or outside uh

3013
02:19:23,080 --> 02:19:26,240
consultant or commission or board um

3014
02:19:26,240 --> 02:19:28,639
outcome type binding or non-binding uh

3015
02:19:28,639 --> 02:19:30,080
technically this would have to be

3016
02:19:30,080 --> 02:19:32,000
non-binding otherwise it would fall into

3017
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:34,519
the CATE category of arbitration and

3018
02:19:34,519 --> 02:19:36,479
we're looking at mediation so this would

3019
02:19:36,479 --> 02:19:38,040
have to be non-binding and then

3020
02:19:38,040 --> 02:19:39,639
exemptions what type of properties are

3021
02:19:39,639 --> 02:19:41,800
exempt who's exempt is a duplex of

3022
02:19:41,800 --> 02:19:44,760
single fames in included in the program

3023
02:19:44,760 --> 02:19:46,880
uh hearing type is it a formal process

3024
02:19:46,880 --> 02:19:48,439
is it going to be be informal just a

3025
02:19:48,439 --> 02:19:50,960
phone call have people discuss it over

3026
02:19:50,960 --> 02:19:54,439
the phone on Zoom um and then is will

3027
02:19:54,439 --> 02:19:55,800
there be an ability to appeal the

3028
02:19:55,800 --> 02:19:58,240
decision if a decision is

3029
02:19:58,240 --> 02:20:01,880
made so when staff looked into programs

3030
02:20:01,880 --> 02:20:03,640
we looked at other municipalities that

3031
02:20:03,640 --> 02:20:06,200
had similar mediation programs we

3032
02:20:06,200 --> 02:20:08,240
focused on the City of Burbank County of

3033
02:20:08,240 --> 02:20:11,200
marine and Santa Monica city of Santa

3034
02:20:11,200 --> 02:20:13,800
Monica uh they all have varying programs

3035
02:20:13,800 --> 02:20:15,399
that's why we decided to go with these

3036
02:20:15,399 --> 02:20:17,040
three and they were the only ones that

3037
02:20:17,040 --> 02:20:20,760
respond to our emails uh City of Burbank

3038
02:20:20,760 --> 02:20:23,720
has a program U that's ran through its

3039
02:20:23,720 --> 02:20:25,560
commission the commission is similar to

3040
02:20:25,560 --> 02:20:27,240
our committee it's made up of landlords

3041
02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:30,399
and tenants that are U assigned by their

3042
02:20:30,399 --> 02:20:32,439
city council it's a non-mandatory

3043
02:20:32,439 --> 02:20:36,040
non-binding program uh they address rent

3044
02:20:36,040 --> 02:20:37,720
increases evictions relocations

3045
02:20:37,720 --> 02:20:39,600
basically all tenant and landlord

3046
02:20:39,600 --> 02:20:44,200
related issues in 2022 they had about 87

3047
02:20:44,200 --> 02:20:47,960
uh individuals or families in uh

3048
02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:50,240
ask for mediation from the committee is

3049
02:20:50,240 --> 02:20:52,760
submitted to the city for review so the

3050
02:20:52,760 --> 02:20:55,560
way their process works is uh if someone

3051
02:20:55,560 --> 02:20:57,960
calls into their City of Burbank they

3052
02:20:57,960 --> 02:20:59,680
say I'm having a problem with my landl

3053
02:20:59,680 --> 02:21:01,560
I'm having a problem with my tenant the

3054
02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:03,880
staff offers mediation through their

3055
02:21:03,880 --> 02:21:06,520
commission uh form is filled out it's

3056
02:21:06,520 --> 02:21:08,600
given to the commission the individual

3057
02:21:08,600 --> 02:21:10,319
either goes in front of the commission

3058
02:21:10,319 --> 02:21:11,840
or if it's a it's something that the

3059
02:21:11,840 --> 02:21:14,120
staff can handle they give them uh their

3060
02:21:14,120 --> 02:21:15,840
Solutions I have a little exerpt from

3061
02:21:15,840 --> 02:21:18,920
one of their meetings so someone um went

3062
02:21:18,920 --> 02:21:21,800
to the commission for mediation and

3063
02:21:21,800 --> 02:21:23,640
basically it's very basic all they did

3064
02:21:23,640 --> 02:21:26,720
was provide information to the tenant so

3065
02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:29,240
that their program is bare none it's

3066
02:21:29,240 --> 02:21:31,600
very informal it's just information they

3067
02:21:31,600 --> 02:21:34,160
don't really get in a room together with

3068
02:21:34,160 --> 02:21:36,359
a tenant and landlord and try to discuss

3069
02:21:36,359 --> 02:21:38,359
their issue so it's very B basic Just

3070
02:21:38,359 --> 02:21:40,760
for information I I have a question yeah

3071
02:21:40,760 --> 02:21:42,880
I thought the Burbank had a three-person

3072
02:21:42,880 --> 02:21:44,960
committee that handled these and it was

3073
02:21:44,960 --> 02:21:47,479
mostly education Outreach it wasn't I

3074
02:21:47,479 --> 02:21:49,000
didn't think it was the commission that

3075
02:21:49,000 --> 02:21:52,600
handled these cases so I believe the

3076
02:21:52,600 --> 02:21:54,600
commission assigns their members to

3077
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:57,479
handle them so they might have signed

3078
02:21:57,479 --> 02:21:59,359
three individuals to handle these type

3079
02:21:59,359 --> 02:22:01,920
of cases but each time I think uh

3080
02:22:01,920 --> 02:22:03,319
commission members are assigned

3081
02:22:03,319 --> 02:22:06,399
depending on what type of problems the

3082
02:22:06,399 --> 02:22:07,960
public go I know they had they had at

3083
02:22:07,960 --> 02:22:10,720
least one resident on the on the on that

3084
02:22:10,720 --> 02:22:13,439
committee Susie Jacobs was one of them

3085
02:22:13,439 --> 02:22:16,479
and um she she resigned so um I don't

3086
02:22:16,479 --> 02:22:18,520
even know how what what they're doing

3087
02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:20,560
right now but uh it was mostly Outreach

3088
02:22:20,560 --> 02:22:22,520
and education like you said those are

3089
02:22:22,520 --> 02:22:25,439
really mediation yeah that's the uh

3090
02:22:25,439 --> 02:22:27,439
commissioner job is um education and

3091
02:22:27,439 --> 02:22:30,040
Outreach but they they also mediate or

3092
02:22:30,040 --> 02:22:31,280
what they call

3093
02:22:31,280 --> 02:22:34,520
mediation um so we spoke to the staff

3094
02:22:34,520 --> 02:22:37,240
regarding funding they said because it's

3095
02:22:37,240 --> 02:22:38,680
part of their bigger housing program

3096
02:22:38,680 --> 02:22:40,240
they couldn't identify exactly how much

3097
02:22:40,240 --> 02:22:42,000
it cost but they did say it's about

3098
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:45,439
100,000 to administer program um they

3099
02:22:45,439 --> 02:22:47,840
have dedicated staff just for the

3100
02:22:47,840 --> 02:22:50,680
program or one mediator I should

3101
02:22:50,680 --> 02:22:53,000
say and then Marine county is a

3102
02:22:53,000 --> 02:22:55,120
mandatory non-binding program with

3103
02:22:55,120 --> 02:22:56,560
Marine County the only portion of it

3104
02:22:56,560 --> 02:22:58,479
that's mandatory is when the rent is

3105
02:22:58,479 --> 02:23:00,479
increased over 5% so if a landlord

3106
02:23:00,479 --> 02:23:03,680
increases ATT tenants rent over 5% and

3107
02:23:03,680 --> 02:23:06,240
that tenant wants mediation they can

3108
02:23:06,240 --> 02:23:08,200
request it and the landlord is required

3109
02:23:08,200 --> 02:23:10,720
to participate if they want the rents

3110
02:23:10,720 --> 02:23:13,680
increased uh tenant can agree with the

3111
02:23:13,680 --> 02:23:15,399
increase doesn't have to request

3112
02:23:15,399 --> 02:23:17,840
mediation uh but if they do landlord is

3113
02:23:17,840 --> 02:23:20,040
required to participate all other

3114
02:23:20,040 --> 02:23:22,479
disputes secure deposit evictions

3115
02:23:22,479 --> 02:23:24,920
they're not mandatory so the the

3116
02:23:24,920 --> 02:23:26,680
landlord does not have to

3117
02:23:26,680 --> 02:23:30,040
participate uh they had 118 cases were

3118
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:32,600
mediated 287 were

3119
02:23:32,600 --> 02:23:34,240
requested

3120
02:23:34,240 --> 02:23:36,560
um the process I forgot to mention

3121
02:23:36,560 --> 02:23:38,479
Burbank it takes about a month to

3122
02:23:38,479 --> 02:23:40,680
mediate the process and for Marines

3123
02:23:40,680 --> 02:23:42,840
County case it's 8 to 12

3124
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:45,800
weeks and their budget again it was part

3125
02:23:45,800 --> 02:23:48,000
of their bigger program they weren't

3126
02:23:48,000 --> 02:23:50,359
able to narrow anything down with Marine

3127
02:23:50,359 --> 02:23:52,560
County they actually work with uh a

3128
02:23:52,560 --> 02:23:54,800
couple of other cities to administer the

3129
02:23:54,800 --> 02:23:58,359
program and they also have dedicated

3130
02:23:58,359 --> 02:24:02,560
staff and last Santa Monica it's a n non

3131
02:24:02,560 --> 02:24:05,279
man uh non-mandatory non-binding program

3132
02:24:05,279 --> 02:24:06,880
it's part of their bigger rent control

3133
02:24:06,880 --> 02:24:09,120
program uh they cover all tenant

3134
02:24:09,120 --> 02:24:11,040
landlord disputes but again it's not

3135
02:24:11,040 --> 02:24:14,760
mandatory to participate they had 111

3136
02:24:14,760 --> 02:24:17,160
rent decrease cases 11 Construction

3137
02:24:17,160 --> 02:24:20,640
decrease cases and 16 excessive rent

3138
02:24:20,640 --> 02:24:24,399
cases um they take about 180 days to

3139
02:24:24,399 --> 02:24:26,640
respond but currently it takes much

3140
02:24:26,640 --> 02:24:29,319
longer according to staff and uh their

3141
02:24:29,319 --> 02:24:31,560
total budget is 5 million and they again

3142
02:24:31,560 --> 02:24:33,000
couldn't pinpoint how much of that is

3143
02:24:33,000 --> 02:24:35,160
spent on mediation 5 million is for

3144
02:24:35,160 --> 02:24:37,000
their entire rent control budget and

3145
02:24:37,000 --> 02:24:39,399
they have uh multiple staff that

3146
02:24:39,399 --> 02:24:42,760
administers one hearing officer uh oh

3147
02:24:42,760 --> 02:24:44,240
sorry three hearing officers one

3148
02:24:44,240 --> 02:24:47,160
mediator so they got a a big staff and

3149
02:24:47,160 --> 02:24:48,880
they cover all their run control units

3150
02:24:48,880 --> 02:24:51,760
so it's a much much bigger

3151
02:24:51,760 --> 02:24:54,560
program before we move on to potential

3152
02:24:54,560 --> 02:24:56,520
costs I do want to mention that glendell

3153
02:24:56,520 --> 02:25:00,160
had a program about in 2002 it lasted

3154
02:25:00,160 --> 02:25:02,200
all of six months I believe it was a

3155
02:25:02,200 --> 02:25:04,760
voluntary program uh no one participated

3156
02:25:04,760 --> 02:25:08,000
so it was discontinued um just wanted to

3157
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:10,479
mention that we did attempt this about

3158
02:25:10,479 --> 02:25:13,200
20 years ago again it was

3159
02:25:13,200 --> 02:25:15,800
voluntary 6 months I believe it lasted

3160
02:25:15,800 --> 02:25:17,720
before it was discontinued

3161
02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:19,960
um so potential cost again we couldn't

3162
02:25:19,960 --> 02:25:21,359
get anything specific from the other

3163
02:25:21,359 --> 02:25:23,319
cities but staff was able to put

3164
02:25:23,319 --> 02:25:24,680
something together based on how much it

3165
02:25:24,680 --> 02:25:27,160
would cost to hire a mediator or

3166
02:25:27,160 --> 02:25:29,640
professionals that do mediation or an

3167
02:25:29,640 --> 02:25:31,800
agency that would perform those services

3168
02:25:31,800 --> 02:25:34,479
or something that's more formal uh for a

3169
02:25:34,479 --> 02:25:36,479
formal process is upwards of

3170
02:25:36,479 --> 02:25:39,120
300,000 uh for mediation with a

3171
02:25:39,120 --> 02:25:41,120
commission similar to burbank's we

3172
02:25:41,120 --> 02:25:44,680
estimated around 990,000 most uh for an

3173
02:25:44,680 --> 02:25:47,960
informal voluntary participation again

3174
02:25:47,960 --> 02:25:49,120
uh similar

3175
02:25:49,120 --> 02:25:52,760
to the one we had earlier we think if we

3176
02:25:52,760 --> 02:25:54,600
hire a professional it would be upwards

3177
02:25:54,600 --> 02:25:57,279
of 200,000 and then if we

3178
02:25:57,279 --> 02:25:59,800
Outsource uh could cost anywhere from 20

3179
02:25:59,800 --> 02:26:01,520
to 100,000 depending on how many cases

3180
02:26:01,520 --> 02:26:04,040
we're referring to them and uh how we

3181
02:26:04,040 --> 02:26:06,479
set up the

3182
02:26:06,479 --> 02:26:09,200
programs so the adoc committee discussed

3183
02:26:09,200 --> 02:26:12,240
everything uh they recommended that the

3184
02:26:12,240 --> 02:26:15,840
city at least try for a few months a

3185
02:26:15,840 --> 02:26:18,000
mediation program voluntary mediation

3186
02:26:18,000 --> 02:26:19,479
program a

3187
02:26:19,479 --> 02:26:22,120
non-binding uh to cover most every

3188
02:26:22,120 --> 02:26:24,439
Everything a tenant or landlord could

3189
02:26:24,439 --> 02:26:26,240
have a dispute about rent increases

3190
02:26:26,240 --> 02:26:28,840
secur deposit evictions habitability

3191
02:26:28,840 --> 02:26:32,120
relocation and other relevant issues uh

3192
02:26:32,120 --> 02:26:35,560
they uh suggested a hybrid model with a

3193
02:26:35,560 --> 02:26:37,439
board and commission similar to Burbank

3194
02:26:37,439 --> 02:26:41,000
and dedicated staff so a mediator plus a

3195
02:26:41,000 --> 02:26:44,880
board um again they discussed that the

3196
02:26:44,880 --> 02:26:48,080
mediate should mediator should have

3197
02:26:48,080 --> 02:26:50,720
uh the proper qualifications and

3198
02:26:50,720 --> 02:26:52,319
training to

3199
02:26:52,319 --> 02:26:55,240
mediate uh they felt that a formal

3200
02:26:55,240 --> 02:26:57,319
process would be best so nothing

3201
02:26:57,319 --> 02:26:59,560
informal they want both tenant and

3202
02:26:59,560 --> 02:27:01,279
landlord in a room together to discuss

3203
02:27:01,279 --> 02:27:03,279
their issues with a mediator prison

3204
02:27:03,279 --> 02:27:05,560
instead of maybe a staff member calling

3205
02:27:05,560 --> 02:27:07,399
the landlord and tenant trying to

3206
02:27:07,399 --> 02:27:09,520
mediate the situation for them they want

3207
02:27:09,520 --> 02:27:12,319
a formal process

3208
02:27:12,319 --> 02:27:15,720
um I have I think that concludes my

3209
02:27:15,720 --> 02:27:18,800
presentation so ultimately the med the

3210
02:27:18,800 --> 02:27:20,800
committee's suggestion was to have a

3211
02:27:20,800 --> 02:27:24,600
program um and a trial run and then

3212
02:27:24,600 --> 02:27:27,160
ultimately see how that works before we

3213
02:27:27,160 --> 02:27:28,240
commit to

3214
02:27:28,240 --> 02:27:31,520
anything okay thank you let's uh see if

3215
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:33,120
we have questions before we go to the

3216
02:27:33,120 --> 02:27:35,439
callers are there

3217
02:27:35,439 --> 02:27:39,720
questions questions I just have one um

3218
02:27:39,720 --> 02:27:42,240
have we looked to see if LA county has

3219
02:27:42,240 --> 02:27:44,000
anything CU I'm looking you know one of

3220
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:46,160
these options that you laid out in front

3221
02:27:46,160 --> 02:27:47,200
of us is

3222
02:27:47,200 --> 02:27:50,640
so LA county has a mediation program

3223
02:27:50,640 --> 02:27:52,120
through their consumer and business

3224
02:27:52,120 --> 02:27:56,439
Affairs Department I believe uhhuh um I

3225
02:27:56,439 --> 02:27:58,319
it works similar tenants landlords

3226
02:27:58,319 --> 02:27:59,279
request

3227
02:27:59,279 --> 02:28:02,240
mediation uh they con contact them

3228
02:28:02,240 --> 02:28:04,880
schedule a date it's it's voluntary so

3229
02:28:04,880 --> 02:28:08,120
neither party has to participate I'm not

3230
02:28:08,120 --> 02:28:10,439
100% sure I I contacted them to see how

3231
02:28:10,439 --> 02:28:13,399
many uh cases they've had within glendel

3232
02:28:13,399 --> 02:28:16,000
I haven't heard back uh but that is an

3233
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:19,479
option but Marine counties is mandatory

3234
02:28:19,479 --> 02:28:21,160
Marine county is mandatory only when the

3235
02:28:21,160 --> 02:28:23,439
increas is above 5% a rent increases

3236
02:28:23,439 --> 02:28:26,600
above 5% the other issues they're not

3237
02:28:26,600 --> 02:28:28,520
mandatory so if the lieutenant and

3238
02:28:28,520 --> 02:28:31,479
landlord are having a problem with uh

3239
02:28:31,479 --> 02:28:34,200
the laundry facility not working that

3240
02:28:34,200 --> 02:28:35,520
they're not going to dispute that those

3241
02:28:35,520 --> 02:28:37,640
types of situations oh so Maring

3242
02:28:37,640 --> 02:28:40,040
counties is uh required if it's sorry

3243
02:28:40,040 --> 02:28:42,319
council member end it's required for

3244
02:28:42,319 --> 02:28:46,720
five more than 5% how does that um so

3245
02:28:46,720 --> 02:28:49,960
work with the state uh

3246
02:28:49,960 --> 02:28:53,840
rules caps so the state cap is

3247
02:28:53,840 --> 02:28:56,960
8.8% um I would assume that if an

3248
02:28:56,960 --> 02:28:58,399
increase is above

3249
02:28:58,399 --> 02:29:01,080
5% they require that mediation to take

3250
02:29:01,080 --> 02:29:03,040
place so their increase can't be above

3251
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:06,399
8% at no any time um but if it's above

3252
02:29:06,399 --> 02:29:09,680
5% and the Tenant wants the mediation

3253
02:29:09,680 --> 02:29:12,950
the landlord is required to

3254
02:29:12,960 --> 02:29:16,279
participat div and uh also in Marine C

3255
02:29:16,279 --> 02:29:18,439
oh sorry that's Santa Monica they have

3256
02:29:18,439 --> 02:29:20,760
fees that are attached to their

3257
02:29:20,760 --> 02:29:23,319
mediation right their fees are I think

3258
02:29:23,319 --> 02:29:25,040
mostly related to their rent control

3259
02:29:25,040 --> 02:29:27,800
program that cuz it's a much different

3260
02:29:27,800 --> 02:29:29,760
animal of Santa Monica but we want to

3261
02:29:29,760 --> 02:29:32,920
include it just so there's a variety uh

3262
02:29:32,920 --> 02:29:34,439
because a lot of these mediation

3263
02:29:34,439 --> 02:29:36,279
programs are attached to rent control

3264
02:29:36,279 --> 02:29:39,840
programs throughout California at

3265
02:29:39,840 --> 02:29:44,000
least okay thank you more um do you need

3266
02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:46,080
anything about um us working with

3267
02:29:46,080 --> 02:29:48,640
neighborhood Legal Services right uh

3268
02:29:48,640 --> 02:29:51,680
neighbor Legal Services we do refer in

3269
02:29:51,680 --> 02:29:53,640
people there but they only handle

3270
02:29:53,640 --> 02:29:55,880
evictions and at the point of where

3271
02:29:55,880 --> 02:29:58,279
they're at unlawful detainers so if the

3272
02:29:58,279 --> 02:30:00,520
landlord issues an eviction they won't

3273
02:30:00,520 --> 02:30:02,920
take it on until that tenant has

3274
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:04,920
officially been evicted through unlawful

3275
02:30:04,920 --> 02:30:07,640
detainer through the courts uh they

3276
02:30:07,640 --> 02:30:09,600
they're just inundated so they don't

3277
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:12,560
have time to take on every case and do

3278
02:30:12,560 --> 02:30:15,399
we know of any other community resources

3279
02:30:15,399 --> 02:30:17,720
that are available that don't have that

3280
02:30:17,720 --> 02:30:20,120
load uh we refer to housing rights

3281
02:30:20,120 --> 02:30:23,240
Center as well Armenia Bar Association

3282
02:30:23,240 --> 02:30:27,080
but everybody's pretty pretty busy

3283
02:30:27,080 --> 02:30:31,520
okay okay let's um let's hear from our

3284
02:30:31,520 --> 02:30:33,680
speakers and do we have any callers we

3285
02:30:33,680 --> 02:30:35,960
do not have any callers don't okay well

3286
02:30:35,960 --> 02:30:37,240
we have three speakers we'll start with

3287
02:30:37,240 --> 02:30:43,150
Karen

3288
02:30:43,160 --> 02:30:47,160
qua hi I'm Karen Clark I watch most but

3289
02:30:47,160 --> 02:30:49,000
not all 11 meetings of the tenant

3290
02:30:49,000 --> 02:30:51,279
landlord committee I spoke once or twice

3291
02:30:51,279 --> 02:30:52,720
but mostly I listened with a lot of

3292
02:30:52,720 --> 02:30:55,880
Parental Pride as Mr Peter Zak noted the

3293
02:30:55,880 --> 02:30:57,399
medior was released after a couple of

3294
02:30:57,399 --> 02:31:00,120
meetings because they were not needed Mr

3295
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:03,040
zovak and Mr zadorian did a fine job of

3296
02:31:03,040 --> 02:31:05,479
mediating the discussions themselves by

3297
02:31:05,479 --> 02:31:06,960
the way that's a genuine compliment from

3298
02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:08,680
me to the city I don't make them often

3299
02:31:08,680 --> 02:31:10,160
please enjoy it while it

3300
02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:12,760
lasts if the five of you have not

3301
02:31:12,760 --> 02:31:14,640
watched any of these committee meetings

3302
02:31:14,640 --> 02:31:16,560
I highly recommend that you do so

3303
02:31:16,560 --> 02:31:18,520
because they are unlike the discussions

3304
02:31:18,520 --> 02:31:21,359
held by any other City border commission

3305
02:31:21,359 --> 02:31:22,560
I suggest that you watch the meeting

3306
02:31:22,560 --> 02:31:26,000
from February 22 2023 where two tenants

3307
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:27,319
came to talk about the serious

3308
02:31:27,319 --> 02:31:29,800
electrical problem they had for months

3309
02:31:29,800 --> 02:31:31,760
in an apartment they rented from one of

3310
02:31:31,760 --> 02:31:33,600
the landlord members of the tenant

3311
02:31:33,600 --> 02:31:35,720
landord committee that particular

3312
02:31:35,720 --> 02:31:38,120
landlord had spent months bragging about

3313
02:31:38,120 --> 02:31:40,760
what a great landlord he was and how his

3314
02:31:40,760 --> 02:31:43,560
tenants had no complaints about him well

3315
02:31:43,560 --> 02:31:45,080
after that more of his tenants came

3316
02:31:45,080 --> 02:31:46,840
forth to complain about the their

3317
02:31:46,840 --> 02:31:48,840
Apartments this is why it's critical to

3318
02:31:48,840 --> 02:31:51,000
hear from tants directly instead of

3319
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:53,279
relying on the word of landlords if you

3320
02:31:53,279 --> 02:31:55,160
see any other landlords who come to City

3321
02:31:55,160 --> 02:31:57,479
Hall bragging about what great landlords

3322
02:31:57,479 --> 02:31:59,240
they are I suggest that you take their

3323
02:31:59,240 --> 02:32:01,439
claims with a bucket of salt and ask to

3324
02:32:01,439 --> 02:32:03,600
hear what their tenants think the

3325
02:32:03,600 --> 02:32:05,399
committee members staff and public

3326
02:32:05,399 --> 02:32:07,640
engaged in Lively discussions to reach

3327
02:32:07,640 --> 02:32:08,640
the recommendations that you're

3328
02:32:08,640 --> 02:32:10,880
considering today the gentleman in the

3329
02:32:10,880 --> 02:32:12,359
neutral seat on the committee is

3330
02:32:12,359 --> 02:32:14,800
actually a landlord so if anything the

3331
02:32:14,800 --> 02:32:16,319
committee's conclusions represent the

3332
02:32:16,319 --> 02:32:18,439
use of landlords more than that of

3333
02:32:18,439 --> 02:32:21,040
tenants Mr neutral landlord judge was

3334
02:32:21,040 --> 02:32:22,880
part of the legal team that wrote

3335
02:32:22,880 --> 02:32:24,760
glendale's just cause eviction ordinance

3336
02:32:24,760 --> 02:32:27,080
about 20 years ago and he was the first

3337
02:32:27,080 --> 02:32:28,520
to say that the ordinance needs to be

3338
02:32:28,520 --> 02:32:29,960
clarified and

3339
02:32:29,960 --> 02:32:32,120
updated I love it when committee members

3340
02:32:32,120 --> 02:32:33,880
in City staff cover all the points that

3341
02:32:33,880 --> 02:32:35,520
need to be covered so that I don't need

3342
02:32:35,520 --> 02:32:38,200
to say anything I have one suggestion

3343
02:32:38,200 --> 02:32:40,560
however from my unique Vantage Point

3344
02:32:40,560 --> 02:32:42,000
most of the committee members do not

3345
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:44,680
watch City Council meetings and correct

3346
02:32:44,680 --> 02:32:46,880
me if I'm wrong but not none of you have

3347
02:32:46,880 --> 02:32:48,359
watched any tendent llord committee

3348
02:32:48,359 --> 02:32:50,160
meetings this makes it hard for the

3349
02:32:50,160 --> 02:32:52,200
committee to understand how they can

3350
02:32:52,200 --> 02:32:54,359
advise the council and it also makes it

3351
02:32:54,359 --> 02:32:55,560
hard for the council to know what the

3352
02:32:55,560 --> 02:32:58,399
committee can do this Gap can be bridged

3353
02:32:58,399 --> 02:33:00,319
by assigning a council of the aison to

3354
02:33:00,319 --> 02:33:02,680
each City commission or board like my

3355
02:33:02,680 --> 02:33:04,439
former City of Salem

3356
02:33:04,439 --> 02:33:07,319
Massachusetts Salem has over n over 40

3357
02:33:07,319 --> 02:33:09,520
City commissions and 11 council members

3358
02:33:09,520 --> 02:33:11,080
so that works out to about four

3359
02:33:11,080 --> 02:33:13,319
commissions per council member Glendo

3360
02:33:13,319 --> 02:33:15,600
has 13 City commissions so that would be

3361
02:33:15,600 --> 02:33:17,080
two or three commissions per council

3362
02:33:17,080 --> 02:33:19,120
member this would improve the flow of

3363
02:33:19,120 --> 02:33:20,600
information between commissions and the

3364
02:33:20,600 --> 02:33:22,560
City Council in both directions while

3365
02:33:22,560 --> 02:33:25,080
also lifting pressure from City staff

3366
02:33:25,080 --> 02:33:26,760
this is why I have no problem increasing

3367
02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:28,560
council member salaries because I plan

3368
02:33:28,560 --> 02:33:31,680
to make you all work for it also yes

3369
02:33:31,680 --> 02:33:33,399
committee should act as a body for

3370
02:33:33,399 --> 02:33:35,960
mediation or arbitration I spent many

3371
02:33:35,960 --> 02:33:37,760
many hours in this chamber listening to

3372
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:40,600
design review board cases which mostly

3373
02:33:40,600 --> 02:33:42,760
boil down to private disputes between

3374
02:33:42,760 --> 02:33:44,880
homeowners tenant landlord issues

3375
02:33:44,880 --> 02:33:46,960
deserve at least as much a time

3376
02:33:46,960 --> 02:33:48,279
considering that we're the majority of

3377
02:33:48,279 --> 02:34:01,550
the city thank you thank you Herbert

3378
02:34:01,560 --> 02:34:04,000
Milano uh mayor bran members of the city

3379
02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:06,359
council and staff my name is Herbert

3380
02:34:06,359 --> 02:34:09,439
mulano I took the liberty of writing up

3381
02:34:09,439 --> 02:34:10,960
some of the topics that I wanted to

3382
02:34:10,960 --> 02:34:13,960
address today the

3383
02:34:13,960 --> 02:34:17,319
um the city has had a resource that is

3384
02:34:17,319 --> 02:34:20,960
quite valuable I think and that resource

3385
02:34:20,960 --> 02:34:25,040
is the Cog of all of the tenant and

3386
02:34:25,040 --> 02:34:28,080
landlord questions and complaints that

3387
02:34:28,080 --> 02:34:31,359
uh have been prevalent in the past few

3388
02:34:31,359 --> 02:34:33,640
years so apparently this year we've had

3389
02:34:33,640 --> 02:34:35,920
about 800 of these particular

3390
02:34:35,920 --> 02:34:37,840
calls

3391
02:34:37,840 --> 02:34:41,080
and I am concerned that that particular

3392
02:34:41,080 --> 02:34:43,479
log was not included as part of the

3393
02:34:43,479 --> 02:34:46,640
dialogue that was presented to the

3394
02:34:46,640 --> 02:34:49,319
committee if we are if we really want to

3395
02:34:49,319 --> 02:34:52,439
address the issues that are relevant and

3396
02:34:52,439 --> 02:34:54,920
present to a lot of people those call

3397
02:34:54,920 --> 02:34:58,319
logs should have been parsed categorized

3398
02:34:58,319 --> 02:35:01,560
presented in summary evaluated and say

3399
02:35:01,560 --> 02:35:03,800
here are the most Salient problems that

3400
02:35:03,800 --> 02:35:06,080
we have in glenvill these are the most

3401
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:08,520
common questions that people have and

3402
02:35:08,520 --> 02:35:11,240
they become a guide for you to Define

3403
02:35:11,240 --> 02:35:13,880
how should you do the Outreach how

3404
02:35:13,880 --> 02:35:16,040
should you advertise it who really needs

3405
02:35:16,040 --> 02:35:18,840
the information who absolutely needs to

3406
02:35:18,840 --> 02:35:19,760
have

3407
02:35:19,760 --> 02:35:23,880
it so if there is a purchase of a new

3408
02:35:23,880 --> 02:35:26,479
building and the prior landlord wants to

3409
02:35:26,479 --> 02:35:28,439
increase

3410
02:35:28,439 --> 02:35:30,880
rents those tenants need to have that

3411
02:35:30,880 --> 02:35:32,640
information right away as to what are

3412
02:35:32,640 --> 02:35:34,319
their

3413
02:35:34,319 --> 02:35:37,399
rights if a new landlord thinks that the

3414
02:35:37,399 --> 02:35:40,479
law allows him to do certain things and

3415
02:35:40,479 --> 02:35:42,760
the law doesn't he needs to be clear on

3416
02:35:42,760 --> 02:35:45,479
what those questions are if a tenant is

3417
02:35:45,479 --> 02:35:47,319
being given an increase that is beyond

3418
02:35:47,319 --> 02:35:49,160
what the law allows they should have

3419
02:35:49,160 --> 02:35:51,920
that information so any type of Outreach

3420
02:35:51,920 --> 02:35:54,600
needs to address that

3421
02:35:54,600 --> 02:35:57,840
data how many are there what are the

3422
02:35:57,840 --> 02:35:59,800
number of problems that this other

3423
02:35:59,800 --> 02:36:02,279
services provide if Neighborhood Legal

3424
02:36:02,279 --> 02:36:04,120
Services is collecting the data and

3425
02:36:04,120 --> 02:36:06,520
servicing people shouldn't you have that

3426
02:36:06,520 --> 02:36:10,000
data as well so my point is that proper

3427
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:12,600
data collection proper data analysis

3428
02:36:12,600 --> 02:36:16,080
gives you the guidelines as to what

3429
02:36:16,080 --> 02:36:17,920
policies to implement and how to

3430
02:36:17,920 --> 02:36:19,120
implement

3431
02:36:19,120 --> 02:36:23,840
them I'm of the belief that a periodic

3432
02:36:23,840 --> 02:36:26,279
evaluation of those results how many

3433
02:36:26,279 --> 02:36:27,399
calls you're

3434
02:36:27,399 --> 02:36:30,319
getting um how many compl do you have

3435
02:36:30,319 --> 02:36:32,800
relative to from one year to the next

3436
02:36:32,800 --> 02:36:34,319
gives you an evaluation of whether the

3437
02:36:34,319 --> 02:36:36,240
ordinance is working or not and whether

3438
02:36:36,240 --> 02:36:38,560
the Outreach is working or not and if it

3439
02:36:38,560 --> 02:36:41,120
is I'm assuming that the cost will be

3440
02:36:41,120 --> 02:36:43,399
reduced by the following year right the

3441
02:36:43,399 --> 02:36:45,560
fewer contentious problems you have and

3442
02:36:45,560 --> 02:36:47,600
any information that an utsman would

3443
02:36:47,600 --> 02:36:49,520
actually execute would also need to be

3444
02:36:49,520 --> 02:36:51,880
analyzed so my recommendation is that it

3445
02:36:51,880 --> 02:36:54,439
be brought back to the ARA committee for

3446
02:36:54,439 --> 02:36:57,240
evaluation as to how to establish proper

3447
02:36:57,240 --> 02:36:59,760
ways of evaluating the data and periodic

3448
02:36:59,760 --> 02:37:03,359
reviews thank you thank

3449
02:37:03,359 --> 02:37:14,790

team I'm neither

3458
02:37:35,040 --> 02:37:37,880
okay but what caught my eye was when the

3459
02:37:37,880 --> 02:37:40,439
mayor says we need more Outreach there's

3460
02:37:40,439 --> 02:37:41,760
people don't have any knowledge what's

3461
02:37:41,760 --> 02:37:44,800
going on in the city on these

3462
02:37:44,800 --> 02:37:47,399
issues survey one survey said they had

3463
02:37:47,399 --> 02:37:49,960
600 people filled out the other one her

3464
02:37:49,960 --> 02:37:52,399
survey was 800 I think and you said wow

3465
02:37:52,399 --> 02:37:53,800
that's a lot of

3466
02:37:53,800 --> 02:37:55,640
people

3467
02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:59,080
really think about it in my last

3468
02:37:59,080 --> 02:38:01,279
Community newsletter I put an

3469
02:38:01,279 --> 02:38:03,680

25,000 inboxes for people to read with

3473
02:38:11,880 --> 02:38:14,720

minimum now that's an

3475
02:38:18,160 --> 02:38:21,800

3512
02:40:01,200 --> 02:40:05,720
opinion um okay let's see let's hear

3513
02:40:05,720 --> 02:40:08,520
from you want colle I have a couple

3514
02:40:08,520 --> 02:40:12,720
questions um uh what are the most common

3515
02:40:12,720 --> 02:40:15,160
issues that we receive phone calls

3516
02:40:15,160 --> 02:40:16,200
concern

3517
02:40:16,200 --> 02:40:17,760
I actually have the numbers I'll put

3518
02:40:17,760 --> 02:40:20,120
them on screen

3519
02:40:20,120 --> 02:40:22,920
um

3520
02:40:22,920 --> 02:40:25,439
presentation well it depends on the year

3521
02:40:25,439 --> 02:40:27,399
so in 2019 when the program first

3522
02:40:27,399 --> 02:40:30,520
started MH most of our calls were about

3523
02:40:30,520 --> 02:40:32,120
the program what what is it what's going

3524
02:40:32,120 --> 02:40:34,000
to happen how is this going to impact my

3525
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:36,200
property how is this going to impact my

3526
02:40:36,200 --> 02:40:40,080
rental um let's get there here we go

3527
02:40:40,080 --> 02:40:43,399
good so 2019 92% of those calls were

3528
02:40:43,399 --> 02:40:45,319
General general rental rights related

3529
02:40:45,319 --> 02:40:47,560
and and then towards the end ab1 1482

3530
02:40:47,560 --> 02:40:49,359
passed so we had a couple of questions

3531
02:40:49,359 --> 02:40:51,880
about that 1% and we had some eviction

3532
02:40:51,880 --> 02:40:55,040
calls about evictions moving into 2020

3533
02:40:55,040 --> 02:40:58,359
the pandemic hit and 85% of our calls

3534
02:40:58,359 --> 02:41:00,960
were just coid related so that's all we

3535
02:41:00,960 --> 02:41:02,920
were handling Co related and then here

3536
02:41:02,920 --> 02:41:07,000
and there ab-1482 evictions and then in

3537
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:11,600
2021 again still pandemic 77 77% of the

3538
02:41:11,600 --> 02:41:14,120
calls were coid related but we started

3539
02:41:14,120 --> 02:41:17,200
getting more a148 2 as you know pandemic

3540
02:41:17,200 --> 02:41:19,880
rules were starting to expire 2022

3541
02:41:19,880 --> 02:41:23,240
finally when most of the rules expired

3542
02:41:23,240 --> 02:41:24,960
uh we still had a lot of calls related

3543
02:41:24,960 --> 02:41:26,640
to co about

3544
02:41:26,640 --> 02:41:29,880
28% uh and then uh there was a big jump

3545
02:41:29,880 --> 02:41:32,160
in ab1 1482 obviously because none of

3546
02:41:32,160 --> 02:41:34,399
the co protections were there anymore so

3547
02:41:34,399 --> 02:41:36,479
tenants were looking for ab-1482

3548
02:41:36,479 --> 02:41:38,760
protections landlord were asking how

3549
02:41:38,760 --> 02:41:40,960
much we can increase R uh there was a

3550
02:41:40,960 --> 02:41:43,120
little bit of a jump in eviction calls

3551
02:41:43,120 --> 02:41:45,600
and other types of calls most recently

3552
02:41:45,600 --> 02:41:48,200
ly and this is based on the 600 number

3553
02:41:48,200 --> 02:41:50,560
so a number from a couple weeks ago

3554
02:41:50,560 --> 02:41:52,279
we're receiving calls about general

3555
02:41:52,279 --> 02:41:54,840
rental rights program uh rent

3556
02:41:54,840 --> 02:41:57,560
increases banking relocation things like

3557
02:41:57,560 --> 02:42:00,560
that Co calls have almost disappeared

3558
02:42:00,560 --> 02:42:02,840
cuz all the protections are gone no

3559
02:42:02,840 --> 02:42:05,520
one's calling about that anymore a1482

3560
02:42:05,520 --> 02:42:07,359
we still get some calls on but I think

3561
02:42:07,359 --> 02:42:09,439
people understand the ordinance now so

3562
02:42:09,439 --> 02:42:11,000
they don't they don't call us as much

3563
02:42:11,000 --> 02:42:13,640
about that 18% of calls have been

3564
02:42:13,640 --> 02:42:15,760
eviction related so we've seen a bump

3565
02:42:15,760 --> 02:42:19,120
that and then 34% in another category

3566
02:42:19,120 --> 02:42:21,359
the other category basically covers

3567
02:42:21,359 --> 02:42:23,960
things like you call complain about mold

3568
02:42:23,960 --> 02:42:25,080
security

3569
02:42:25,080 --> 02:42:26,760
deposits

3570
02:42:26,760 --> 02:42:30,359
um my landlord doesn't let me have a dog

3571
02:42:30,359 --> 02:42:33,240
so all kinds of other subjects but these

3572
02:42:33,240 --> 02:42:35,120
are the types of calls we've been

3573
02:42:35,120 --> 02:42:37,279
getting

3574
02:42:37,279 --> 02:42:39,760
U there you and what's the last line the

3575
02:42:39,760 --> 02:42:41,720
last line is the last line is just uh

3576
02:42:41,720 --> 02:42:44,680
total so basically we've had 29% of

3577
02:42:44,680 --> 02:42:47,200
total calls have been uh general rental

3578
02:42:47,200 --> 02:42:50,160
rights related 47% of calls have been Co

3579
02:42:50,160 --> 02:42:53,800
related 10% AB 1482 this is total ohal

3580
02:42:53,800 --> 02:42:55,960
you averaged you averaged I I got you

3581
02:42:55,960 --> 02:42:58,319
total from uh for that topic so

3582
02:42:58,319 --> 02:43:01,200
basically 47% of all calls we've

3583
02:43:01,200 --> 02:43:03,120
received have been Co related which is a

3584
02:43:03,120 --> 02:43:05,399
big chunk So Co had a big impact on the

3585
02:43:05,399 --> 02:43:09,120
program as it did the rest of the world

3586
02:43:09,120 --> 02:43:12,880
but but these numbers are are um the

3587
02:43:12,880 --> 02:43:15,479
program that we have right now in place

3588
02:43:15,479 --> 02:43:17,439
the Ral rights program right it's based

3589
02:43:17,439 --> 02:43:19,520
on our call log so originally call log

3590
02:43:19,520 --> 02:43:22,720
was just designed to for internal use

3591
02:43:22,720 --> 02:43:24,359
for staff to be able to track calls and

3592
02:43:24,359 --> 02:43:27,080
make sure that we returned calls if

3593
02:43:27,080 --> 02:43:28,600
somebody calls back and says I called a

3594
02:43:28,600 --> 02:43:31,200
week ago we can see that we responded to

3595
02:43:31,200 --> 02:43:34,760
them whatnot uh as time went on and as

3596
02:43:34,760 --> 02:43:36,520
more and more people wanted access to

3597
02:43:36,520 --> 02:43:38,479
the data we started collecting more

3598
02:43:38,479 --> 02:43:41,600
information just to be able to extract

3599
02:43:41,600 --> 02:43:43,800
something from it and I think this year

3600
02:43:43,800 --> 02:43:45,399
is where we have the most information

3601
02:43:45,399 --> 02:43:47,399
information previous years we weren't

3602
02:43:47,399 --> 02:43:49,680
collecting detailed information so

3603
02:43:49,680 --> 02:43:52,479
eviction says 18% and you're just seeing

3604
02:43:52,479 --> 02:43:54,200
evictions but we're also collecting

3605
02:43:54,200 --> 02:43:55,640
information on evictions that are

3606
02:43:55,640 --> 02:43:57,439
related to Major rehab evictions that

3607
02:43:57,439 --> 02:44:00,000
are related to um owner moveing and we

3608
02:44:00,000 --> 02:44:01,359
just started so we don't have a lot of

3609
02:44:01,359 --> 02:44:03,560
numbers on that but as the year

3610
02:44:03,560 --> 02:44:07,800
continues we will uh we actually our it

3611
02:44:07,800 --> 02:44:11,359
Guy created a new program uh to log

3612
02:44:11,359 --> 02:44:13,240
everything in we were using Excel before

3613
02:44:13,240 --> 02:44:15,000
and so we weren't able to collect a lot

3614
02:44:15,000 --> 02:44:17,359
of information and how often does the

3615
02:44:17,359 --> 02:44:19,319
city attorney's office get involved in

3616
02:44:19,319 --> 02:44:22,359
these phone calls and questions um I'd

3617
02:44:22,359 --> 02:44:24,920
say we go to Lucy maybe once a week Lucy

3618
02:44:24,920 --> 02:44:26,960
varigon the City attorney and then I go

3619
02:44:26,960 --> 02:44:29,520
to her once a week no I'm

3620
02:44:29,520 --> 02:44:32,040
kidding that's just a clarify our

3621
02:44:32,040 --> 02:44:33,800
understanding of things or if there's a

3622
02:44:33,800 --> 02:44:36,359
we get some complex situations sometimes

3623
02:44:36,359 --> 02:44:38,600
and we just want a professional attorney

3624
02:44:38,600 --> 02:44:41,359
opinion before we tell anyone anything

3625
02:44:41,359 --> 02:44:44,160
okay thank you that's um let me

3626
02:44:44,160 --> 02:44:46,840
see are the calls have the calls

3627
02:44:46,840 --> 02:44:50,840
lessened since uh I guess 2019 Les calls

3628
02:44:50,840 --> 02:44:52,600
so the number of calls these are the

3629
02:44:52,600 --> 02:44:55,640
number of calls again pandemic obviously

3630
02:44:55,640 --> 02:44:58,399
we had a lot of calls the calls haven't

3631
02:44:58,399 --> 02:45:00,840
exactly lessened I'd say the pandemic

3632
02:45:00,840 --> 02:45:05,920
was just uh more in for 2020 than we've

3633
02:45:05,920 --> 02:45:08,520
ever had but I'd say

3634
02:45:08,520 --> 02:45:12,600
we're um we're set to hit about 1,200

3635
02:45:12,600 --> 02:45:15,920
we're at 800 right now so a couple of

3636
02:45:15,920 --> 02:45:18,399
months we should probably be at 1,200 if

3637
02:45:18,399 --> 02:45:21,160
not more and we're able and we're able

3638
02:45:21,160 --> 02:45:23,160
to handle all those calls we're you're

3639
02:45:23,160 --> 02:45:25,279
you seem to be yeah and I'm sorry these

3640
02:45:25,279 --> 02:45:27,200
aren't just calls they're emails as well

3641
02:45:27,200 --> 02:45:31,160
oh emails and okay thank you that's okay

3642
02:45:31,160 --> 02:45:33,920
any general comments on Direction on on

3643
02:45:33,920 --> 02:45:36,880
on the mediation on yeah um well let's

3644
02:45:36,880 --> 02:45:39,640
see uh let me but you know this there's

3645
02:45:39,640 --> 02:45:41,720
see seems to be with all of the

3646
02:45:41,720 --> 02:45:44,720
different um cities being mentioned

3647
02:45:44,720 --> 02:45:46,800
there's plethora of challenges that go

3648
02:45:46,800 --> 02:45:49,600
along with this more bureaucracy more

3649
02:45:49,600 --> 02:45:50,800
staff more

3650
02:45:50,800 --> 02:45:54,479
funding um landlords you know if it's

3651
02:45:54,479 --> 02:45:56,840
voluntary you know you get a you have an

3652
02:45:56,840 --> 02:45:59,000
issue if it's involuntary some landlords

3653
02:45:59,000 --> 02:46:00,640
won't want to come they don't want to

3654
02:46:00,640 --> 02:46:04,359
engage and um you know and I I

3655
02:46:04,359 --> 02:46:07,000
interesting it says the success depends

3656
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:09,640
on the cooperation and good faith of

3657
02:46:09,640 --> 02:46:12,000
landlords and tenants and that's that

3658
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:14,720
sometimes I think can be um you know uh

3659
02:46:14,720 --> 02:46:18,840
uh an issue um the landlords seem to

3660
02:46:18,840 --> 02:46:21,200
hold the power tenants may feel

3661
02:46:21,200 --> 02:46:23,479
intimidated and then of course you have

3662
02:46:23,479 --> 02:46:26,880
the fairness is compromised so um I have

3663
02:46:26,880 --> 02:46:29,040
my feeling is and I I'll just make this

3664
02:46:29,040 --> 02:46:32,240
very brief um I also like the um the

3665
02:46:32,240 --> 02:46:35,240
proposition The Proposal of increased

3666
02:46:35,240 --> 02:46:37,840
penalties except for the one about legal

3667
02:46:37,840 --> 02:46:40,040
support because that's just way too

3668
02:46:40,040 --> 02:46:43,279
expensive but increase penalties um so

3669
02:46:43,279 --> 02:46:45,000
that if a landlord is called on the car

3670
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:48,120
carpet for doing so that's a pun but um

3671
02:46:48,120 --> 02:46:53,120
for you know not complying um or in have

3672
02:46:53,120 --> 02:46:55,439
inspections so that those folks that

3673
02:46:55,439 --> 02:46:57,520
that have problems in their in their

3674
02:46:57,520 --> 02:47:01,720
Apartments um uh those are taken care of

3675
02:47:01,720 --> 02:47:04,960
that we have um you know uh the ability

3676
02:47:04,960 --> 02:47:07,359
to conduct inspections and then if

3677
02:47:07,359 --> 02:47:10,520
nothing happens then impose penalties um

3678
02:47:10,520 --> 02:47:13,399
but uh I think staff is handling this

3679
02:47:13,399 --> 02:47:15,439
beautifully the rental rights program

3680
02:47:15,439 --> 02:47:17,279
you're providing assistance you're

3681
02:47:17,279 --> 02:47:19,680
providing counseling you're providing

3682
02:47:19,680 --> 02:47:23,359
legal um Aid and I I just think that

3683
02:47:23,359 --> 02:47:25,640
that's the way to go I know that Burbank

3684
02:47:25,640 --> 02:47:28,399
is strictly Outreach and education so

3685
02:47:28,399 --> 02:47:31,560
they're not very effective um the other

3686
02:47:31,560 --> 02:47:33,800
ones uh you know Santa Monica is just

3687
02:47:33,800 --> 02:47:37,479
like way out of way out of you know our

3688
02:47:37,479 --> 02:47:41,680
financial um category and it's just uh

3689
02:47:41,680 --> 02:47:45,359
spending a lot of money um so um I I

3690
02:47:45,359 --> 02:47:47,840
just feel like we really don't need a

3691
02:47:47,840 --> 02:47:50,240
Medi a mediation a commission a

3692
02:47:50,240 --> 02:47:52,160
committee you know you get all involved

3693
02:47:52,160 --> 02:47:54,640
in that bureaucracy and and uh then

3694
02:47:54,640 --> 02:47:57,520
we're in we get into more trouble so I I

3695
02:47:57,520 --> 02:47:59,720
would be uh against the mediation I

3696
02:47:59,720 --> 02:48:02,920
think i' go with staff's uh um

3697
02:48:02,920 --> 02:48:05,200
continuing this program I think it's

3698
02:48:05,200 --> 02:48:06,720
very effective I think you're doing a

3699
02:48:06,720 --> 02:48:09,840
great job I know whenever um I have get

3700
02:48:09,840 --> 02:48:12,960
an email from a resident with a question

3701
02:48:12,960 --> 02:48:15,560
with a problem I immediately

3702
02:48:15,560 --> 02:48:18,479
emailed staff and the problem is taken

3703
02:48:18,479 --> 02:48:21,200
care of almost immediately so um I think

3704
02:48:21,200 --> 02:48:23,359
that this is uh the best way for us to

3705
02:48:23,359 --> 02:48:31,110
handle it okay thank you counc

3706
02:48:31,120 --> 02:48:34,319
batra so um my understanding is from

3707
02:48:34,319 --> 02:48:35,720
from the last meeting that you are going

3708
02:48:35,720 --> 02:48:37,040
to go back to the

3709
02:48:37,040 --> 02:48:39,600
committee um with the items that we

3710
02:48:39,600 --> 02:48:43,080
discussed from last meeting right I

3711
02:48:43,080 --> 02:48:45,160
believe the plan was to come back with a

3712
02:48:45,160 --> 02:48:47,279
Redline version uh we were going to go

3713
02:48:47,279 --> 02:48:49,439
back to stakeholders um see what their

3714
02:48:49,439 --> 02:48:51,040
opinions are and then bring it back to

3715
02:48:51,040 --> 02:48:52,960
the committee I mean I'm sorry the

3716
02:48:52,960 --> 02:48:55,960
council okay cuz I I my understanding

3717
02:48:55,960 --> 02:48:58,000
from last meeting was that we had an

3718
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:00,680
opportunity for there to be one meet and

3719
02:49:00,680 --> 02:49:02,399
for us to get a better sense of where

3720
02:49:02,399 --> 02:49:04,399
the committee stood because there was no

3721
02:49:04,399 --> 02:49:06,080
like there wasn't closing that Gap with

3722
02:49:06,080 --> 02:49:08,120
the committee members when I look at

3723
02:49:08,120 --> 02:49:10,560
this list it it kind of feels the same

3724
02:49:10,560 --> 02:49:13,120
where like the recommendations are kind

3725
02:49:13,120 --> 02:49:15,040
of all over the place where it's

3726
02:49:15,040 --> 02:49:16,439
recommending a hybrid and it's

3727
02:49:16,439 --> 02:49:19,080
recommending non-mandatory and the whole

3728
02:49:19,080 --> 02:49:21,239
nine yards so I would like to get a

3729
02:49:21,239 --> 02:49:23,640
little more clarity from from the

3730
02:49:23,640 --> 02:49:27,640
committee on that um I would note that

3731
02:49:27,640 --> 02:49:29,960
um I know you mentioned that we had a

3732
02:49:29,960 --> 02:49:31,720
program that didn't work for a couple of

3733
02:49:31,720 --> 02:49:34,520
months I I have an issue with any

3734
02:49:34,520 --> 02:49:36,200
program that operates for a couple of

3735
02:49:36,200 --> 02:49:37,720
months because that's not sufficient

3736
02:49:37,720 --> 02:49:41,000
time for the public to to learn about

3737
02:49:41,000 --> 02:49:43,720
the programs um availability so if

3738
02:49:43,720 --> 02:49:45,920
you're going to say you know we'll open

3739
02:49:45,920 --> 02:49:47,680
this up for six months and see if it's

3740
02:49:47,680 --> 02:49:50,160
working you know by the time like people

3741
02:49:50,160 --> 02:49:51,760
actually find out about it it's probably

3742
02:49:51,760 --> 02:49:54,399
more than six months and so um from the

3743
02:49:54,399 --> 02:49:57,680
GetGo I feel like that kind of a

3744
02:49:57,680 --> 02:50:01,439
shortlived um pilot is just setting up

3745
02:50:01,439 --> 02:50:05,760
the program to fail um I would like to

3746
02:50:05,760 --> 02:50:07,520
for us to see if we can explore some

3747
02:50:07,520 --> 02:50:10,720
options with with the county um for a

3748
02:50:10,720 --> 02:50:14,160
more for formal program I know that uh

3749
02:50:14,160 --> 02:50:16,120
while our staff has done an incredible

3750
02:50:16,120 --> 02:50:19,840
job in guiding uh residents um I know

3751
02:50:19,840 --> 02:50:21,520
that there's been so many occasions

3752
02:50:21,520 --> 02:50:25,840
where we provide the information and um

3753
02:50:25,840 --> 02:50:27,680
a lot of these times there's been people

3754
02:50:27,680 --> 02:50:30,000
with language barriers where I myself

3755
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:31,600
feel like I'm just giving you know being

3756
02:50:31,600 --> 02:50:33,720
given the runaround because the services

3757
02:50:33,720 --> 02:50:37,000
are just not available for the um

3758
02:50:37,000 --> 02:50:39,800
renters um and so I I actually hate

3759
02:50:39,800 --> 02:50:41,319
giving that those phone numbers out

3760
02:50:41,319 --> 02:50:43,840
knowing that at their probably most

3761
02:50:43,840 --> 02:50:45,200
stressful time

3762
02:50:45,200 --> 02:50:47,040
I'm adding additional stress because

3763
02:50:47,040 --> 02:50:50,040
it's it's hope with possibly no no

3764
02:50:50,040 --> 02:50:52,200
resolution and support and that's

3765
02:50:52,200 --> 02:50:55,200
usually for renters right that um also

3766
02:50:55,200 --> 02:50:57,560
have an issue with getting resources to

3767
02:50:57,560 --> 02:51:00,040
begin with and so I would be interested

3768
02:51:00,040 --> 02:51:03,399
in something a little more formal um

3769
02:51:03,399 --> 02:51:06,920
that helps with that portion um not just

3770
02:51:06,920 --> 02:51:09,000
the education and the guidance that

3771
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:11,040
we're providing now and then just a

3772
02:51:11,040 --> 02:51:13,279
better feedback from um from the

3773
02:51:13,279 --> 02:51:18,550
committee members and the stakeholders

3774
02:51:18,560 --> 02:51:21,960
ERS well I think uh one of the benefits

3775
02:51:21,960 --> 02:51:23,880
of what we did through the ad hoc

3776
02:51:23,880 --> 02:51:25,279
committee exercise was bringing

3777
02:51:25,279 --> 02:51:29,319
landlords and um residents tenants uh

3778
02:51:29,319 --> 02:51:31,800
together to be able to have these

3779
02:51:31,800 --> 02:51:33,760
discussions um I didn't watch all the

3780
02:51:33,760 --> 02:51:36,760
meetings I did watch um a couple of them

3781
02:51:36,760 --> 02:51:38,800
just parts of it because of time

3782
02:51:38,800 --> 02:51:42,239
allowances but um I Echo what was said

3783
02:51:42,239 --> 02:51:46,760
in terms of uh how they were run uh how

3784
02:51:46,760 --> 02:51:48,840
people interacted and I think that

3785
02:51:48,840 --> 02:51:50,920
there's something to be said about that

3786
02:51:50,920 --> 02:51:53,200
process that I think we need to

3787
02:51:53,200 --> 02:51:58,880
encourage further um I would like to see

3788
02:51:58,880 --> 02:52:01,600
uh the committee um whether it's the

3789
02:52:01,600 --> 02:52:03,560
current committee or different

3790
02:52:03,560 --> 02:52:06,439
iterations of it continue to meet um I

3791
02:52:06,439 --> 02:52:07,760
don't know if my colleagues have any

3792
02:52:07,760 --> 02:52:10,239
interest in in making it a more formal

3793
02:52:10,239 --> 02:52:12,840
committee but I I think that one of the

3794
02:52:12,840 --> 02:52:14,800
things that's come from it is as you've

3795
02:52:14,800 --> 02:52:16,520
mentioned that people have a place that

3796
02:52:16,520 --> 02:52:19,120
they can go to to petition to raise

3797
02:52:19,120 --> 02:52:23,120
issues to bring ideas forth and for

3798
02:52:23,120 --> 02:52:25,920
those to be flushed out and discussed um

3799
02:52:25,920 --> 02:52:28,600
hearing from all

3800
02:52:28,600 --> 02:52:32,359
sides I think that within this report uh

3801
02:52:32,359 --> 02:52:34,000
I would have liked to have seen some of

3802
02:52:34,000 --> 02:52:36,800
the more specifics like the percentages

3803
02:52:36,800 --> 02:52:38,319
that you gave was good in terms of

3804
02:52:38,319 --> 02:52:40,279
inquiries I would like to know like how

3805
02:52:40,279 --> 02:52:41,720
many of those were calls how many of

3806
02:52:41,720 --> 02:52:43,120
them were emails and you may have that

3807
02:52:43,120 --> 02:52:45,120
and you can provide that but

3808
02:52:45,120 --> 02:52:47,399
um there is something to be said for

3809
02:52:47,399 --> 02:52:49,560
what someone uh who spoke this evening

3810
02:52:49,560 --> 02:52:53,040
from the audience uh raised which is uh

3811
02:52:53,040 --> 02:52:55,120
that the information as to what people

3812
02:52:55,120 --> 02:52:58,000
are bringing up is the issues that we

3813
02:52:58,000 --> 02:52:59,680
should be addressing now there may be

3814
02:52:59,680 --> 02:53:01,479
some things that fall through the cracks

3815
02:53:01,479 --> 02:53:03,239
and hopefully with better advertising

3816
02:53:03,239 --> 02:53:05,000
people are aware that there is a

3817
02:53:05,000 --> 02:53:06,680
resource available to them that they can

3818
02:53:06,680 --> 02:53:10,720
get answers and they'll be able to um

3819
02:53:10,720 --> 02:53:14,880
contact uh whatever group agency City

3820
02:53:14,880 --> 02:53:16,560
official to get

3821
02:53:16,560 --> 02:53:18,760
answers in addition to that there has

3822
02:53:18,760 --> 02:53:22,880
been uh talk from at least one of the uh

3823
02:53:22,880 --> 02:53:25,000
committee members and something that

3824
02:53:25,000 --> 02:53:27,040
I've I've really liked I've I've talked

3825
02:53:27,040 --> 02:53:29,160
about before the idea of someone who is

3826
02:53:29,160 --> 02:53:31,640
an ombudsman type role someone who can

3827
02:53:31,640 --> 02:53:33,760
troubleshoot who can point people to the

3828
02:53:33,760 --> 02:53:36,040
right resources be they whether in our

3829
02:53:36,040 --> 02:53:38,160
city can point them to the right

3830
02:53:38,160 --> 02:53:42,080
sections of the law and uh direct

3831
02:53:42,080 --> 02:53:43,800
whether it's the landlord or the tenant

3832
02:53:43,800 --> 02:53:46,200
to where they can get um the best

3833
02:53:46,200 --> 02:53:49,040
information and looking at the costs of

3834
02:53:49,040 --> 02:53:52,080
what uh different committees do I think

3835
02:53:52,080 --> 02:53:54,279
that if you were to just pay one person

3836
02:53:54,279 --> 02:53:56,000
even if it was someone who could do it

3837
02:53:56,000 --> 02:53:58,399
part-time um even if they were an hourly

3838
02:53:58,399 --> 02:54:00,520
if it wasn't a fully loaded full-time

3839
02:54:00,520 --> 02:54:02,920
employee of the city at first to see how

3840
02:54:02,920 --> 02:54:05,359
it would work I think that we would reap

3841
02:54:05,359 --> 02:54:07,600
the benefits of it as well as the

3842
02:54:07,600 --> 02:54:10,680
residents and the business owners and uh

3843
02:54:10,680 --> 02:54:13,800
landlords and tenants so um those are my

3844
02:54:13,800 --> 02:54:17,640
general thoughts on it um I would like

3845
02:54:17,640 --> 02:54:20,319
us to see more advertising multilingual

3846
02:54:20,319 --> 02:54:23,560
advertising using all the um methods

3847
02:54:23,560 --> 02:54:26,399
that were already stated available to us

3848
02:54:26,399 --> 02:54:28,600
and also there is uh something I think

3849
02:54:28,600 --> 02:54:31,680
to be said to see if glendel can adopt

3850
02:54:31,680 --> 02:54:34,720
uh and modify um ab1

3851
02:54:34,720 --> 02:54:37,359
1482 uh with special features I think

3852
02:54:37,359 --> 02:54:38,720
that's important the more we can

3853
02:54:38,720 --> 02:54:40,560
simplify things I think the better it is

3854
02:54:40,560 --> 02:54:43,560
for all parties involved so those are my

3855
02:54:43,560 --> 02:54:45,560
general thought thank you thank you

3856
02:54:45,560 --> 02:54:48,960
thank you so um I'll start off with uh

3857
02:54:48,960 --> 02:54:50,920
you know thanking the landlord tenant

3858
02:54:50,920 --> 02:54:52,399
commission and I see there's one member

3859
02:54:52,399 --> 02:54:53,840
of the landlord tenant commission there

3860
02:54:53,840 --> 02:54:56,319
in the back te Marshon who I understand

3861
02:54:56,319 --> 02:54:59,319
was one of the most active and and uh

3862
02:54:59,319 --> 02:55:02,040
productive members of the commission so

3863
02:55:02,040 --> 02:55:05,080
um so thank you and thanks to all the

3864
02:55:05,080 --> 02:55:07,520
members of the commission um if they're

3865
02:55:07,520 --> 02:55:10,760
listening or not and to staff because

3866
02:55:10,760 --> 02:55:14,279
this has been this is complicated and um

3867
02:55:14,279 --> 02:55:15,640
you've done a great job I think in

3868
02:55:15,640 --> 02:55:17,880
summarizing the work that came out of

3869
02:55:17,880 --> 02:55:21,960
that so hats off to you um on this

3870
02:55:21,960 --> 02:55:25,720
particular topic um I'm also not in

3871
02:55:25,720 --> 02:55:30,040
favor of setting up a formal mediation

3872
02:55:30,040 --> 02:55:33,439
body um I think it it is kind of

3873
02:55:33,439 --> 02:55:35,239
unnecessary bureaucracy and I think it

3874
02:55:35,239 --> 02:55:40,399
could just lead to um uh overly lengthy

3875
02:55:40,399 --> 02:55:43,040
resolution times um when when issues

3876
02:55:43,040 --> 02:55:44,439
come forward I would much rather rather

3877
02:55:44,439 --> 02:55:47,040
see us uh and I'm and I'm glad to see

3878
02:55:47,040 --> 02:55:48,880
that Mr Milano had it on the sheet that

3879
02:55:48,880 --> 02:55:52,399
he handed out I think he's right um beef

3880
02:55:52,399 --> 02:55:57,479
up the um the hotline um maybe we need

3881
02:55:57,479 --> 02:55:59,880
um

3882
02:55:59,880 --> 02:56:02,920
uh maybe we need some some help there

3883
02:56:02,920 --> 02:56:05,560
and maybe we we we link it to this idea

3884
02:56:05,560 --> 02:56:07,120
of an ombudsman because that's another

3885
02:56:07,120 --> 02:56:08,720
idea that I really think is great so I

3886
02:56:08,720 --> 02:56:11,000
think the idea is like instead of having

3887
02:56:11,000 --> 02:56:13,920
you know this formal commission uh that

3888
02:56:13,920 --> 02:56:18,640
that kind of mediates disputes have um a

3889
02:56:18,640 --> 02:56:21,640
connection between the hotline and

3890
02:56:21,640 --> 02:56:24,680
somebody an ombudsman or maybe we have a

3891
02:56:24,680 --> 02:56:27,239
panel of ombudsmen that that can handle

3892
02:56:27,239 --> 02:56:28,479
cases depending on when they're

3893
02:56:28,479 --> 02:56:32,680
available but have them go and um and

3894
02:56:32,680 --> 02:56:35,359
make calls just an informal process but

3895
02:56:35,359 --> 02:56:37,239
um as Mr Milano explained to me in a

3896
02:56:37,239 --> 02:56:40,279
meeting yesterday um you know lots of

3897
02:56:40,279 --> 02:56:42,760
times they're just misunderstandings you

3898
02:56:42,760 --> 02:56:46,600
know the um and and um if you could just

3899
02:56:46,600 --> 02:56:49,080
talk to both sides you know you can if

3900
02:56:49,080 --> 02:56:50,520
you have the right person doing it you

3901
02:56:50,520 --> 02:56:52,279
could talk sense and resolve some of

3902
02:56:52,279 --> 02:56:53,640
these issues maybe about something

3903
02:56:53,640 --> 02:56:56,560
that's needs to be repaired or what

3904
02:56:56,560 --> 02:56:59,399
whatever it might be right so I I I

3905
02:56:59,399 --> 02:57:01,399
would like to see something like that

3906
02:57:01,399 --> 02:57:02,960
the other thing I would like to see us

3907
02:57:02,960 --> 02:57:08,399
do is um consider funding some more

3908
02:57:08,399 --> 02:57:10,800
dedicated legal services for both

3909
02:57:10,800 --> 02:57:12,680
tenants and landlords because we know

3910
02:57:12,680 --> 02:57:14,479
you know Neighborhood Legal Services is

3911
02:57:14,479 --> 02:57:15,920
backed up housing rights Center is

3912
02:57:15,920 --> 02:57:18,000
backed up Armenian Bar Association I

3913
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:20,560
don't know as much about how their you

3914
02:57:20,560 --> 02:57:22,640
know what their workload looks like but

3915
02:57:22,640 --> 02:57:23,840
especially if you're going to be doing

3916
02:57:23,840 --> 02:57:25,080
all this marketing and people are going

3917
02:57:25,080 --> 02:57:26,600
to learn more about the program they're

3918
02:57:26,600 --> 02:57:28,000
going to learn more about the hotline

3919
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:29,880
and they're going to start calling in we

3920
02:57:29,880 --> 02:57:31,520
want to be able to send them somewhere

3921
02:57:31,520 --> 02:57:34,560
you know we've got an if we have like an

3922
02:57:34,560 --> 02:57:37,720
ombudsman that's great but I think that

3923
02:57:37,720 --> 02:57:41,120
udman also needs um to be able to refer

3924
02:57:41,120 --> 02:57:43,000
something to you know somebody who can

3925
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:45,960
provide more serious legal advice so

3926
02:57:45,960 --> 02:57:47,640
I've heard of cities doing this I forget

3927
02:57:47,640 --> 02:57:50,200
the city but they've basically financed

3928
02:57:50,200 --> 02:57:52,760
you know like a like a dedicated person

3929
02:57:52,760 --> 02:57:54,479
or a certain number of hours from one of

3930
02:57:54,479 --> 02:57:57,560
these legal service organizations to be

3931
02:57:57,560 --> 02:58:00,439
like even sitting at a city facility

3932
02:58:00,439 --> 02:58:03,239
like available to come in and and get

3933
02:58:03,239 --> 02:58:05,200
those services so that we can make sure

3934
02:58:05,200 --> 02:58:08,680
that anybody that needs you know free or

3935
02:58:08,680 --> 02:58:12,160
lowcost legal service gets it right so

3936
02:58:12,160 --> 02:58:14,160
that's that's kind of where where I'd

3937
02:58:14,160 --> 02:58:17,200
like to see us end up um and before I

3938
02:58:17,200 --> 02:58:19,479
conclude I I I do want to go back um

3939
02:58:19,479 --> 02:58:21,160
because we've probably all been getting

3940
02:58:21,160 --> 02:58:22,840
these emails but I know I've gotten a

3941
02:58:22,840 --> 02:58:25,640
bunch of emails about you know why is

3942
02:58:25,640 --> 02:58:27,359
Council doing this why is Council doing

3943
02:58:27,359 --> 02:58:29,720
that and I and or why is Staff

3944
02:58:29,720 --> 02:58:31,840
recommending XYZ and I I just kind of

3945
02:58:31,840 --> 02:58:35,760
want to clear it um staff and is not

3946
02:58:35,760 --> 02:58:39,200
recommending a vacancy tax and Council

3947
02:58:39,200 --> 02:58:41,200
does not seem as far as I can tell

3948
02:58:41,200 --> 02:58:44,000
interested in pursuing a vacancy tax

3949
02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:46,680
staff is not recommending a rent

3950
02:58:46,680 --> 02:58:48,920
registry and although yes I brought it

3951
02:58:48,920 --> 02:58:52,200
up years ago um but at the moment I mean

3952
02:58:52,200 --> 02:58:53,479
I don't think there's anybody here on

3953
02:58:53,479 --> 02:58:55,160
this Das that's recommending a rent

3954
02:58:55,160 --> 02:58:57,239
registry uh and I've also heard people

3955
02:58:57,239 --> 02:58:58,760
say well we don't need more rent control

3956
02:58:58,760 --> 02:59:00,399
I don't think anybody here is talking

3957
02:59:00,399 --> 02:59:02,120
about more rent control what we're

3958
02:59:02,120 --> 02:59:04,640
talking about is streamlining the

3959
02:59:04,640 --> 02:59:06,359
program that we have in light of what

3960
02:59:06,359 --> 02:59:08,000
we've learned over the years and in

3961
02:59:08,000 --> 02:59:09,479
light of ab1

3962
02:59:09,479 --> 02:59:12,160
1482 which has its own provisions and we

3963
02:59:12,160 --> 02:59:14,720
when we should do a better job of

3964
02:59:14,720 --> 02:59:17,200
um you know dovetailing our rental

3965
02:59:17,200 --> 02:59:19,359
rights program with ab-1482 and just

3966
02:59:19,359 --> 02:59:21,680
simplifying things as um council member

3967
02:59:21,680 --> 02:59:23,160
kasak I think said and I heard it

3968
02:59:23,160 --> 02:59:25,239
elsewhere just simplify simplify

3969
02:59:25,239 --> 02:59:29,279
simplify so um you know especially on

3970
02:59:29,279 --> 02:59:32,040
that to you know um the formula that we

3971
02:59:32,040 --> 02:59:33,680
have for relocation assistance if

3972
02:59:33,680 --> 02:59:36,680
somebody raises rent more than 7% you

3973
02:59:36,680 --> 02:59:38,520
know really simplify that maybe just a

3974
02:59:38,520 --> 02:59:41,600
flat amount irregardless of the type of

3975
02:59:41,600 --> 02:59:43,279
property the income of the person the

3976
02:59:43,279 --> 02:59:45,239
length of the just just keep it really

3977
02:59:45,239 --> 02:59:48,040
simple so that people understand what

3978
02:59:48,040 --> 02:59:51,200
this program is about that's really what

3979
02:59:51,200 --> 02:59:53,640
what we want to do and and uh I just

3980
02:59:53,640 --> 02:59:55,120
want to kind of make sure people

3981
02:59:55,120 --> 02:59:58,359
understand that that's our intent um so

3982
02:59:58,359 --> 03:00:01,040
that's basically what I have to say I

3983
03:00:01,040 --> 03:00:03,520
actually like you know based on your

3984
03:00:03,520 --> 03:00:08,160
comments um and council member kakin

3985
03:00:08,160 --> 03:00:12,160
um i' I felt like the uh the city staff

3986
03:00:12,160 --> 03:00:15,359
already kind of Tak takes that role on

3987
03:00:15,359 --> 03:00:19,319
of both guiding and providing resources

3988
03:00:19,319 --> 03:00:22,120
so if if I'm misunderstanding what the

3989
03:00:22,120 --> 03:00:24,160
role of that additional person would be

3990
03:00:24,160 --> 03:00:26,760
if you if you may explain it to so I

3991
03:00:26,760 --> 03:00:28,359
think that there are issues that are

3992
03:00:28,359 --> 03:00:30,479
sometimes more complicated outside the

3993
03:00:30,479 --> 03:00:32,200
scope of what the housing staff alone

3994
03:00:32,200 --> 03:00:36,040
can do you'll have um landlords who you

3995
03:00:36,040 --> 03:00:38,880
know are longtime landlords have had a

3996
03:00:38,880 --> 03:00:41,680
property for a while all of a sudden

3997
03:00:41,680 --> 03:00:45,880
they have to um do something that uh

3998
03:00:45,880 --> 03:00:48,080
state law mandates or something that the

3999
03:00:48,080 --> 03:00:50,399
city requires or just provide something

4000
03:00:50,399 --> 03:00:53,800
for a tenant they don't know where to go

4001
03:00:53,800 --> 03:00:55,439
right they don't know which department

4002
03:00:55,439 --> 03:00:57,479
in the city to apply to I'm not a

4003
03:00:57,479 --> 03:00:59,760
landlord but I can tell you uh when we

4004
03:00:59,760 --> 03:01:02,000
had to replace our dishwasher I learned

4005
03:01:02,000 --> 03:01:03,399
that in the city of Glendale if you want

4006
03:01:03,399 --> 03:01:05,319
to replace a dishwasher you need a

4007
03:01:05,319 --> 03:01:07,120
permit and there's a whole permit

4008
03:01:07,120 --> 03:01:09,479
process that requires you to go online

4009
03:01:09,479 --> 03:01:11,640
and if you're not computer savvy you're

4010
03:01:11,640 --> 03:01:14,319
an older senior person or perhaps

4011
03:01:14,319 --> 03:01:16,640
challenged in the tech world you know

4012
03:01:16,640 --> 03:01:18,800
good luck uh navigating It For the First

4013
03:01:18,800 --> 03:01:21,680
Time The Answer Ombudsman you can have a

4014
03:01:21,680 --> 03:01:24,800
tenant as uh I've had who has a special

4015
03:01:24,800 --> 03:01:28,080
needs uh child um all of a sudden they

4016
03:01:28,080 --> 03:01:31,439
are uh falling behind on either rent or

4017
03:01:31,439 --> 03:01:33,239
they're in between jobs or something

4018
03:01:33,239 --> 03:01:35,920
happens in regards to a child whose

4019
03:01:35,920 --> 03:01:38,359
special needs they may not need a tenant

4020
03:01:38,359 --> 03:01:40,040
landlord mediation or questions that the

4021
03:01:40,040 --> 03:01:42,359
housing staff can provide but an nsman

4022
03:01:42,359 --> 03:01:43,960
can connect them to different different

4023
03:01:43,960 --> 03:01:46,120
Social Service organizations and

4024
03:01:46,120 --> 03:01:49,080
nonprofits that can help them uh make it

4025
03:01:49,080 --> 03:01:51,120
from point A to point B from one month

4026
03:01:51,120 --> 03:01:53,840
to the next with minimal impact on on

4027
03:01:53,840 --> 03:01:55,760
their lives and stress answer is

4028
03:01:55,760 --> 03:01:58,000
Ombudsman so I think that when we say an

4029
03:01:58,000 --> 03:02:00,040
ombudsman it's I think of it a little

4030
03:02:00,040 --> 03:02:01,720
bit like the I've always said the James

4031
03:02:01,720 --> 03:02:03,439
Garner character in that movie The Great

4032
03:02:03,439 --> 03:02:05,160
Escape the guy who could get you

4033
03:02:05,160 --> 03:02:07,080
anything the guy who could get you

4034
03:02:07,080 --> 03:02:09,359
chocolate or could get you a whiskey in

4035
03:02:09,359 --> 03:02:11,840
a in a World War II p camp someone who

4036
03:02:11,840 --> 03:02:15,000
knows where to go to get the answers um

4037
03:02:15,000 --> 03:02:17,120
because a lot of times when you're

4038
03:02:17,120 --> 03:02:19,000
stressed as you stated and you're

4039
03:02:19,000 --> 03:02:21,439
looking for answers um you're confused

4040
03:02:21,439 --> 03:02:23,359
as to where to go but someone who's

4041
03:02:23,359 --> 03:02:25,680
trained or understands the city and the

4042
03:02:25,680 --> 03:02:27,680
different organizations can help point

4043
03:02:27,680 --> 03:02:29,600
you in the right direction yeah and I

4044
03:02:29,600 --> 03:02:31,319
would I would just like to add to that

4045
03:02:31,319 --> 03:02:33,359
that you know this idea of an ombudsman

4046
03:02:33,359 --> 03:02:35,000
it is similar to what staff is doing

4047
03:02:35,000 --> 03:02:37,920
right now but I think that

4048
03:02:37,920 --> 03:02:41,319
um I think I think we need more and

4049
03:02:41,319 --> 03:02:42,359
especially if we're going to be

4050
03:02:42,359 --> 03:02:43,920
promoting this program we're going to be

4051
03:02:43,920 --> 03:02:45,160
getting more people calling into the

4052
03:02:45,160 --> 03:02:46,319
hotline I don't think we're going to

4053
03:02:46,319 --> 03:02:48,479
have the resources to do it you know I

4054
03:02:48,479 --> 03:02:51,960
also know it's it's a special skill and

4055
03:02:51,960 --> 03:02:54,279
not taking you know wanting to take away

4056
03:02:54,279 --> 03:02:56,439
from from seon and his group but it's a

4057
03:02:56,439 --> 03:02:59,640
special skill I had a a situation and uh

4058
03:02:59,640 --> 03:03:01,359
teal in the back knows all about it

4059
03:03:01,359 --> 03:03:03,040
because she helped me out with it but

4060
03:03:03,040 --> 03:03:04,880
somebody that came to my coffees a

4061
03:03:04,880 --> 03:03:07,800
couple times with a problem with rats in

4062
03:03:07,800 --> 03:03:10,279
her unit and she had to move out and she

4063
03:03:10,279 --> 03:03:12,200
was in a hotel and she you know or she

4064
03:03:12,200 --> 03:03:14,520
was at whatever she was anyway and I

4065
03:03:14,520 --> 03:03:17,359
know she called in and um she did get

4066
03:03:17,359 --> 03:03:19,800
some help but I think she was referred

4067
03:03:19,800 --> 03:03:22,319
to you know you know I don't know LA

4068
03:03:22,319 --> 03:03:25,000
County sanitation or she was referred

4069
03:03:25,000 --> 03:03:27,520
here and there but her English was not

4070
03:03:27,520 --> 03:03:29,040
good she didn't have the wherewithal to

4071
03:03:29,040 --> 03:03:30,319
figure this out she really needs

4072
03:03:30,319 --> 03:03:32,279
somebody who can do more than what staff

4073
03:03:32,279 --> 03:03:35,160
can do can really hold her hand and take

4074
03:03:35,160 --> 03:03:36,960
office yeah but they're not going to do

4075
03:03:36,960 --> 03:03:38,800
that they don't have the resources to

4076
03:03:38,800 --> 03:03:41,359
really hold somebody's hand through all

4077
03:03:41,359 --> 03:03:42,880
the phone calls that have to be made all

4078
03:03:42,880 --> 03:03:44,880
the followup that has to be made so I I

4079
03:03:44,880 --> 03:03:46,359
do think having somebody from the

4080
03:03:46,359 --> 03:03:49,600
outside just enhances that service and I

4081
03:03:49,600 --> 03:03:52,560
don't think it's that expensive to do so

4082
03:03:52,560 --> 03:03:54,479
that's I think that's what that's at

4083
03:03:54,479 --> 03:03:56,840
least what's on my mind so I would well

4084
03:03:56,840 --> 03:03:58,279
my question is what kind of training

4085
03:03:58,279 --> 03:04:00,200
would they need what do we have to train

4086
03:04:00,200 --> 03:04:02,080
them or do they have to learn our yeah

4087
03:04:02,080 --> 03:04:03,239
there's I mean

4088
03:04:03,239 --> 03:04:07,000
what's probably yeah well isn't that

4089
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:09,399
what kind of what Lucy does I mean

4090
03:04:09,399 --> 03:04:12,800
she staff those that you're working with

4091
03:04:12,800 --> 03:04:15,080
so staff does their best to connect any

4092
03:04:15,080 --> 03:04:17,239
caller to the resources they need and if

4093
03:04:17,239 --> 03:04:18,720
it's within the city I think we do a

4094
03:04:18,720 --> 03:04:20,880
pretty good job of it if it's outside of

4095
03:04:20,880 --> 03:04:22,880
the city we might refer to the

4096
03:04:22,880 --> 03:04:24,359
organization we're not going to go hunt

4097
03:04:24,359 --> 03:04:25,880
down an individual that they need to

4098
03:04:25,880 --> 03:04:27,760
speak to we'll refer them to the or

4099
03:04:27,760 --> 03:04:29,880
organization but if it needs to be that

4100
03:04:29,880 --> 03:04:31,720
detailed where you're holding the hand

4101
03:04:31,720 --> 03:04:33,920
walking them to that agency making sure

4102
03:04:33,920 --> 03:04:35,920
they get the need the help they need I I

4103
03:04:35,920 --> 03:04:38,160
we don't do that at the moment but we do

4104
03:04:38,160 --> 03:04:40,880
the best within the city yeah that's

4105
03:04:40,880 --> 03:04:41,680
good

4106
03:04:41,680 --> 03:04:44,720
idea say something more yeah uh so I

4107
03:04:44,720 --> 03:04:48,640
would be open to that um I would also

4108
03:04:48,640 --> 03:04:51,720
like to see kind of the structure we

4109
03:04:51,720 --> 03:04:53,560
could work with the city attorney's

4110
03:04:53,560 --> 03:04:57,279
office uh on this where there is a

4111
03:04:57,279 --> 03:04:58,359
specific

4112
03:04:58,359 --> 03:05:01,920
designated attorney um that the public

4113
03:05:01,920 --> 03:05:03,080
knows about it's not that they're

4114
03:05:03,080 --> 03:05:05,120
calling you and then you're internally

4115
03:05:05,120 --> 03:05:08,479
or we're rerouting that um I think

4116
03:05:08,479 --> 03:05:10,319
looking at the city attorney's office

4117
03:05:10,319 --> 03:05:12,439
and like how we've kind of built up

4118
03:05:12,439 --> 03:05:14,399
capacity over the years uh there might

4119
03:05:14,399 --> 03:05:16,640
be room for that as well in there yeah

4120
03:05:16,640 --> 03:05:18,160
if I could I could address that I think

4121
03:05:18,160 --> 03:05:21,000
so one of the challenges uh with our

4122
03:05:21,000 --> 03:05:23,479
office is we we cannot provide legal

4123
03:05:23,479 --> 03:05:25,640
advice to third parties we we can we

4124
03:05:25,640 --> 03:05:28,359
obviously provide um interpret you know

4125
03:05:28,359 --> 03:05:30,399
we will interpret our own code for

4126
03:05:30,399 --> 03:05:32,720
public when when there's a dispute for

4127
03:05:32,720 --> 03:05:35,080
example um we also obviously were

4128
03:05:35,080 --> 03:05:36,439
involved in the enforcement of the law

4129
03:05:36,439 --> 03:05:38,720
but a lot of these disputes are a a

4130
03:05:38,720 --> 03:05:40,279
private dispute between a landlord and

4131
03:05:40,279 --> 03:05:42,960
tenant so we cannot be we can't advise

4132
03:05:42,960 --> 03:05:45,680
them on landlord tenant law um and and

4133
03:05:45,680 --> 03:05:46,920
that's really not the even the goal of

4134
03:05:46,920 --> 03:05:48,479
the rental rights program is to provide

4135
03:05:48,479 --> 03:05:50,720
the resources explain how our rental

4136
03:05:50,720 --> 03:05:52,720
rights program works to the public how

4137
03:05:52,720 --> 03:05:54,479
the what the interaction is with 1482

4138
03:05:54,479 --> 03:05:56,200
because there is so much interaction but

4139
03:05:56,200 --> 03:05:58,000
at the end of the day we we always have

4140
03:05:58,000 --> 03:06:00,040
to advise them to to seek another

4141
03:06:00,040 --> 03:06:02,000
resource if they still have questions so

4142
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:04,319
that's sort of the challenge with um I

4143
03:06:04,319 --> 03:06:06,239
mean we certainly work with the staff if

4144
03:06:06,239 --> 03:06:07,680
there's if there's a desire to have this

4145
03:06:07,680 --> 03:06:10,080
un buds un buds person to kind of work

4146
03:06:10,080 --> 03:06:11,439
with the staff on figure out how

4147
03:06:11,439 --> 03:06:13,439
mechanically it works but our our role

4148
03:06:13,439 --> 03:06:15,239
has to be limited we are limited by the

4149
03:06:15,239 --> 03:06:17,479
charter to not providing advice to to

4150
03:06:17,479 --> 03:06:18,960
members of the public or providing them

4151
03:06:18,960 --> 03:06:21,479
legal assistance on private disputes

4152
03:06:21,479 --> 03:06:23,399
which in large regard that's what

4153
03:06:23,399 --> 03:06:25,080
landlord tenant is right it's it's a

4154
03:06:25,080 --> 03:06:27,080
dispute between two parties in in a

4155
03:06:27,080 --> 03:06:29,880
business transaction I I I I would say

4156
03:06:29,880 --> 03:06:32,680
that I'm not looking for the the private

4157
03:06:32,680 --> 03:06:36,080
disputes um I think if more folks in our

4158
03:06:36,080 --> 03:06:38,880
community knew that they could turn to

4159
03:06:38,880 --> 03:06:41,840
the city to to get clarification on the

4160
03:06:41,840 --> 03:06:43,920
law and that the city attorney's office

4161
03:06:43,920 --> 03:06:45,439
is available I want them to know that

4162
03:06:45,439 --> 03:06:47,040
that that is actually available and that

4163
03:06:47,040 --> 03:06:50,359
is part of the role right absolutely

4164
03:06:50,359 --> 03:06:55,160
okay okay um do you have enough

4165
03:06:55,160 --> 03:06:57,359
Direction I think we have enough

4166
03:06:57,359 --> 03:07:00,200
Direction okay just I think the staff

4167
03:07:00,200 --> 03:07:02,200
needs the approval of the the marketing

4168
03:07:02,200 --> 03:07:04,640
strategy that's a motion approval of the

4169
03:07:04,640 --> 03:07:08,160
marketing strategy so oh okay I'll

4170
03:07:08,160 --> 03:07:10,319
second okay so we'll have a roll call on

4171
03:07:10,319 --> 03:07:14,040

4190
03:08:05,359 --> 03:08:12,030
onion you are first for oral

4191
03:08:12,040 --> 03:08:20,349
Communications

4192
03:08:20,359 --> 03:08:23,359
hello everyone um I just wanted to hit a

4193
03:08:23,359 --> 03:08:26,399
couple points um I submitted I took my

4194
03:08:26,399 --> 03:08:28,399
time over the weekend it was actually

4195
03:08:28,399 --> 03:08:31,520
pretty fun working on the maps um it was

4196
03:08:31,520 --> 03:08:33,720
almost like a puzzle uh especially with

4197
03:08:33,720 --> 03:08:36,200
the colors and all that stuff so I came

4198
03:08:36,200 --> 03:08:39,080
up with map 1125 I think it was uploaded

4199
03:08:39,080 --> 03:08:41,920
yesterday or something um and I just

4200
03:08:41,920 --> 03:08:44,319
wanted to it was pretty I mean I didn't

4201
03:08:44,319 --> 03:08:46,760
see any Maps out there currently that

4202
03:08:46,760 --> 03:08:50,960
included like a separate region um for

4203
03:08:50,960 --> 03:08:52,479
well I saw a couple that included a

4204
03:08:52,479 --> 03:08:55,200
separate region for Central Glendale um

4205
03:08:55,200 --> 03:08:56,880
I think they have they're going to be

4206
03:08:56,880 --> 03:08:58,720
growing obviously over time and then

4207
03:08:58,720 --> 03:09:00,000
they have their they're going to have

4208
03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:03,120
their own very unique needs um in the

4209
03:09:03,120 --> 03:09:06,800
downtown area um and then yeah so that

4210
03:09:06,800 --> 03:09:10,479
and then um I was walking on AR Avenue

4211
03:09:10,479 --> 03:09:12,560
and I think there might be a project

4212
03:09:12,560 --> 03:09:14,720
about this I was looking it up on the

4213
03:09:14,720 --> 03:09:17,160
website but definitely those like tables

4214
03:09:17,160 --> 03:09:19,880
and chairs do not seem comfortable and

4215
03:09:19,880 --> 03:09:21,720
then my friend was telling me that

4216
03:09:21,720 --> 03:09:24,399
apparently they get chained up at night

4217
03:09:24,399 --> 03:09:27,120
which is so unsightly and not really

4218
03:09:27,120 --> 03:09:30,080
like the vibe for downtown glendel but

4219
03:09:30,080 --> 03:09:31,800
I'm assuming that's going to be included

4220
03:09:31,800 --> 03:09:34,920
in the I think it's called activate art

4221
03:09:34,920 --> 03:09:36,680
I don't know if that's still happening

4222
03:09:36,680 --> 03:09:39,279
but um and then my third point was just

4223
03:09:39,279 --> 03:09:41,920
about uh apparently there's a dog park

4224
03:09:41,920 --> 03:09:44,520
being proposed for for brand park I got

4225
03:09:44,520 --> 03:09:47,840
an email from The Tea House at that

4226
03:09:47,840 --> 03:09:50,479
they're not interested in that and I

4227
03:09:50,479 --> 03:09:53,560
completely agree I think that's not is

4228
03:09:53,560 --> 03:09:56,760
that is that happening is that

4229
03:09:56,760 --> 03:09:59,760
stud huh no I don't want to speak on

4230
03:09:59,760 --> 03:10:01,760
something that is has already been

4231
03:10:01,760 --> 03:10:04,239
addressed in previous meetings but

4232
03:10:04,239 --> 03:10:06,080
anyways yeah I don't think a dog park

4233
03:10:06,080 --> 03:10:09,279
belongs in brand Park it's just also

4234
03:10:09,279 --> 03:10:11,960
like not the vibe of that area but

4235
03:10:11,960 --> 03:10:13,720
anyway those are my thoughts for today

4236
03:10:13,720 --> 03:10:14,560
thank

4237
03:10:14,560 --> 03:10:34,590
you thank you uh vah

4238
03:10:34,600 --> 03:10:37,479
Moran hello council members I was here

4239
03:10:37,479 --> 03:10:40,239
in this room at the last council meeting

4240
03:10:40,239 --> 03:10:41,720
because I had gone through all the

4241
03:10:41,720 --> 03:10:44,120
possible departments I could regarding

4242
03:10:44,120 --> 03:10:47,239
some false accusations in court filed by

4243
03:10:47,239 --> 03:10:49,560
the city attorney's office one of those

4244
03:10:49,560 --> 03:10:51,080
departments even being the police

4245
03:10:51,080 --> 03:10:53,439
department where I made a police report

4246
03:10:53,439 --> 03:10:55,560
thinking I had rights because it does

4247
03:10:55,560 --> 03:10:58,160
involve a crime police closed it without

4248
03:10:58,160 --> 03:11:00,239
ever reaching out and ignored the entire

4249
03:11:00,239 --> 03:11:02,920
probably half an hour report I made and

4250
03:11:02,920 --> 03:11:05,640
all the documents I submitted so my only

4251
03:11:05,640 --> 03:11:07,520
other option was to come here and bring

4252
03:11:07,520 --> 03:11:09,439
it to your attention for it to be looked

4253
03:11:09,439 --> 03:11:11,359
into

4254
03:11:11,359 --> 03:11:13,560
respectfully I don't think I did a good

4255
03:11:13,560 --> 03:11:16,359
enough job last time because it never

4256
03:11:16,359 --> 03:11:19,120
was since August 8th so I'm here to try

4257
03:11:19,120 --> 03:11:22,080
again you have an employee named mahik

4258
03:11:22,080 --> 03:11:25,000
safarian who decided to call the police

4259
03:11:25,000 --> 03:11:27,760
making false accusations against me when

4260
03:11:27,760 --> 03:11:29,800
I came to the city towards the end of

4261
03:11:29,800 --> 03:11:32,560
2022 about a fraudulent lease issue

4262
03:11:32,560 --> 03:11:36,359
since 2005 for the property I live on he

4263
03:11:36,359 --> 03:11:37,880
then somehow convinced the city

4264
03:11:37,880 --> 03:11:39,800
attorney's office with those same

4265
03:11:39,800 --> 03:11:42,239
accusations into filing a restraining

4266
03:11:42,239 --> 03:11:44,680
order on on his behalf for free i'

4267
03:11:44,680 --> 03:11:47,600
assume one which was denied for lack of

4268
03:11:47,600 --> 03:11:49,840
evidence the restraining order does

4269
03:11:49,840 --> 03:11:52,000
actually mention how mahik is possibly

4270
03:11:52,000 --> 03:11:54,000
applying for it behalf of other

4271
03:11:54,000 --> 03:11:57,319
employees as well but none are mentioned

4272
03:11:57,319 --> 03:11:59,840
I would have absolutely no problem and I

4273
03:11:59,840 --> 03:12:02,600
really do mean this no problem with his

4274
03:12:02,600 --> 03:12:05,239
poor lies even his restraining order

4275
03:12:05,239 --> 03:12:07,960
that was denied resulting in my favor if

4276
03:12:07,960 --> 03:12:10,000
it didn't lead to the third lawsuit for

4277
03:12:10,000 --> 03:12:12,800
my family one day after that is not the

4278
03:12:12,800 --> 03:12:14,359
first time law I

4279
03:12:14,359 --> 03:12:16,560
was that's not the first time I was

4280
03:12:16,560 --> 03:12:18,560
served with a lawsuit because of a city

4281
03:12:18,560 --> 03:12:21,080
employee I'm not making any specific

4282
03:12:21,080 --> 03:12:23,920
accusations here but with respectfully

4283
03:12:23,920 --> 03:12:27,040
asking the city to once again look into

4284
03:12:27,040 --> 03:12:29,080
this matter because it is all being used

4285
03:12:29,080 --> 03:12:31,359
against me in courts it doesn't matter

4286
03:12:31,359 --> 03:12:33,319
if I don't have it doesn't matter if I

4287
03:12:33,319 --> 03:12:35,760
have a lawyer or not I ask the words

4288
03:12:35,760 --> 03:12:37,960
filed in court by the city attorney's

4289
03:12:37,960 --> 03:12:40,479
office to be discussed was but was

4290
03:12:40,479 --> 03:12:42,600
turned away there's no shame in the

4291
03:12:42,600 --> 03:12:44,200
applying for something and having it the

4292
03:12:44,200 --> 03:12:46,680
night there's no resolution for me on

4293
03:12:46,680 --> 03:12:49,200
his lies so I made a police report about

4294
03:12:49,200 --> 03:12:51,399
a possible felony charge under the

4295
03:12:51,399 --> 03:12:53,359
penalty of perjury and how that

4296
03:12:53,359 --> 03:12:55,000
unfortunately has to do with the third

4297
03:12:55,000 --> 03:12:57,439
lawsuit I was served in 8 months I was

4298
03:12:57,439 --> 03:13:00,239
turned away again last time I said 9

4299
03:13:00,239 --> 03:13:02,239
months but I was wrong it's actually

4300
03:13:02,239 --> 03:13:04,000
three lawsuits I've been served in 8

4301
03:13:04,000 --> 03:13:06,200
months and 9 days that is actually

4302
03:13:06,200 --> 03:13:08,640
prohibited prohibited according to

4303
03:13:08,640 --> 03:13:11,640
chapter 9 of the municipal code I

4304
03:13:11,640 --> 03:13:13,640

4305
03:13:13,640 --> 03:13:15,479
the appropriate departments did their

4306
03:13:15,479 --> 03:13:17,960

that I brought in the past uh but I'll

4320
03:14:00,520 --> 03:14:04,520
start it with a um with a comment that

4321
03:14:04,520 --> 03:14:06,520
is very common at least in the circles

4322
03:14:06,520 --> 03:14:09,520
that I'm in and is that people tend to

4323
03:14:09,520 --> 03:14:11,520
see the world from the steeple of their

4324
03:14:11,520 --> 03:14:14,000
Village Church

4325
03:14:14,000 --> 03:14:16,479
and when I look at the problems that I'm

4326
03:14:16,479 --> 03:14:18,359
generally facing Glendale or the issues

4327
03:14:18,359 --> 03:14:21,359
that have come aware of I see it from

4328
03:14:21,359 --> 03:14:23,960
the point of view of a systems analyst

4329
03:14:23,960 --> 03:14:27,439
and my Decades of work in dealing with

4330
03:14:27,439 --> 03:14:30,439
providing information to organizations

4331
03:14:30,439 --> 03:14:32,520
organizations that often times were over

4332
03:14:32,520 --> 03:14:34,080
a billion dollars a

4333
03:14:34,080 --> 03:14:37,359
year and for many years I have been

4334
03:14:37,359 --> 03:14:40,600
promoting the idea that the city should

4335
03:14:40,600 --> 03:14:42,200
collect information analyze the

4336
03:14:42,200 --> 03:14:43,239
information

4337
03:14:43,239 --> 03:14:45,520
create strategic plans and work towards

4338
03:14:45,520 --> 03:14:46,760
a strategic

4339
03:14:46,760 --> 03:14:49,640
plan and today was in some of the issues

4340
03:14:49,640 --> 03:14:52,520
that we had earlier it's precisely the

4341
03:14:52,520 --> 03:14:54,880
type of issues that would be much easier

4342
03:14:54,880 --> 03:14:59,439
to solve if you had the data analyz

4343
03:14:59,439 --> 03:15:01,600
collected and

4344
03:15:01,600 --> 03:15:04,680
evaluated with a continual recurrence of

4345
03:15:04,680 --> 03:15:06,680
an evaluation that takes place on an

4346
03:15:06,680 --> 03:15:08,000
annual

4347
03:15:08,000 --> 03:15:10,800
basis every time you get a software

4348
03:15:10,800 --> 03:15:13,160
update what you're really getting is the

4349
03:15:13,160 --> 03:15:14,600
series of problems that have been

4350
03:15:14,600 --> 03:15:17,399
corrected through

4351
03:15:17,399 --> 03:15:20,199
experience and you know at the local

4352
03:15:20,199 --> 03:15:22,600
level county level state level often

4353
03:15:22,600 --> 03:15:25,600
times ordinances are passed and then

4354
03:15:25,600 --> 03:15:28,239
they just left to basically have an

4355
03:15:28,239 --> 03:15:30,279
impact for a very long time until the

4356
03:15:30,279 --> 03:15:32,479
problems get to be so severe that you

4357
03:15:32,479 --> 03:15:34,479
begin to have the protest and the people

4358
03:15:34,479 --> 03:15:36,960
complaining and you get the impact of

4359
03:15:36,960 --> 03:15:40,160
that but if the ordinances and the laws

4360
03:15:40,160 --> 03:15:42,399
that are being considered are evaluated

4361
03:15:42,399 --> 03:15:45,319
and the data collected and updated and

4362
03:15:45,319 --> 03:15:47,680
adjusted to meet what the data is

4363
03:15:47,680 --> 03:15:50,080
telling you I would imagine that we

4364
03:15:50,080 --> 03:15:52,040
would have a much easier time with

4365
03:15:52,040 --> 03:15:55,319
running a city and living in a city the

4366
03:15:55,319 --> 03:15:56,920
data that I usually brought back in the

4367
03:15:56,920 --> 03:15:59,160
past that is really really simple has to

4368
03:15:59,160 --> 03:16:01,640
do with road

4369
03:16:01,640 --> 03:16:04,640
conditions a road on average in the

4370
03:16:04,640 --> 03:16:06,680
United

4371
03:16:06,680 --> 03:16:09,399
States has about a 20-year

4372
03:16:09,399 --> 03:16:12,399
life so if you take the 360 miles of

4373
03:16:12,399 --> 03:16:15,359
roadway of London divided by 20 you have

4374
03:16:15,359 --> 03:16:16,960
already an idea of how much you should

4375
03:16:16,960 --> 03:16:20,399
be re reconstructing on a yearly basis

4376
03:16:20,399 --> 03:16:22,920
simple and then you count basically how

4377
03:16:22,920 --> 03:16:24,720
many miles of roads were actually

4378
03:16:24,720 --> 03:16:27,199
reconstructed every

4379
03:16:27,199 --> 03:16:30,160
year the other issues that I find that

4380
03:16:30,160 --> 03:16:33,800
need data collection if the city were to

4381
03:16:33,800 --> 03:16:35,880
collect it in a systematic way and if

4382
03:16:35,880 --> 03:16:38,279
the city council were to have some type

4383
03:16:38,279 --> 03:16:40,680
of retreat where you consider where is

4384
03:16:40,680 --> 03:16:43,439
it that we're going where are we now

4385
03:16:43,439 --> 03:16:45,520
what did we accomplish allows you to

4386
03:16:45,520 --> 03:16:48,000
gauge the efficacy of the city manager

4387
03:16:48,000 --> 03:16:50,359
or the efficacy of the City attorney the

4388
03:16:50,359 --> 03:16:52,080
efficacy of the rest of the commissions

4389
03:16:52,080 --> 03:16:55,520
that you have before you it's an appeal

4390
03:16:55,520 --> 03:16:58,000
for this that I think that the problems

4391
03:16:58,000 --> 03:17:00,239
that we generally face are solvable

4392
03:17:00,239 --> 03:17:02,520
they're not that

4393
03:17:02,520 --> 03:17:04,920
insurmountable especially when we have

4394
03:17:04,920 --> 03:17:07,120
the data that is telling us not

4395
03:17:07,120 --> 03:17:10,120
anecdotes not the Impressions not the

4396
03:17:10,120 --> 03:17:12,760
hearsay not the rumors

4397
03:17:12,760 --> 03:17:16,040
because we as humans are very faulty in

4398
03:17:16,040 --> 03:17:18,880
regard to the way we think about issues

4399
03:17:18,880 --> 03:17:21,359
if we put somebody in a committee and

4400
03:17:21,359 --> 03:17:23,680
all they come to you are The Impressions

4401
03:17:23,680 --> 03:17:25,520
that they have from Friends the things

4402
03:17:25,520 --> 03:17:27,640
that they can remember we have a

4403
03:17:27,640 --> 03:17:31,399
significant list of biases that prevent

4404
03:17:31,399 --> 03:17:32,760
us from thinking

4405
03:17:32,760 --> 03:17:35,160
clearly and the one thing we can depend

4406
03:17:35,160 --> 03:17:38,600
on is the data if I tell someone you

4407
03:17:38,600 --> 03:17:40,439
know that the data tells us that if you

4408
03:17:40,439 --> 03:17:43,199
smoke on a regular basis or two packs a

4409
03:17:43,199 --> 03:17:45,960
day your chances of dying is X by the

4410
03:17:45,960 --> 03:17:49,520
age of 60 but if he tells me well my

4411
03:17:49,520 --> 03:17:52,359
grandmother lived into 102 and she was

4412
03:17:52,359 --> 03:17:55,120
this two pack smoker and gives you an

4413
03:17:55,120 --> 03:17:58,439
anecdote and that's what carries the day

4414
03:17:58,439 --> 03:18:00,840
an anecdote carries a significant amount

4415
03:18:00,840 --> 03:18:03,080
of weight when it comes to all kinds of

4416
03:18:03,080 --> 03:18:05,640
decision making but then we have to rely

4417
03:18:05,640 --> 03:18:08,760
on the data to basically set us straight

4418
03:18:08,760 --> 03:18:09,960
and that's what I'm asking the city

4419
03:18:09,960 --> 03:18:12,880
council to do collect the dat

4420
03:18:12,880 --> 03:18:16,040
analyze it set policy on it because when

4421
03:18:16,040 --> 03:18:17,479
people come to you with their

4422
03:18:17,479 --> 03:18:19,319
Impressions and their feelings and their

4423
03:18:19,319 --> 03:18:21,560
emotions and what they can recall and

4424
03:18:21,560 --> 03:18:24,600
they're here say you may wind up

4425
03:18:24,600 --> 03:18:27,160
creating bad policy and that's really

4426
03:18:27,160 --> 03:18:29,160
really bad for all of us I would

4427
03:18:29,160 --> 03:18:36,349
appreciate that thanks thank you Mike

4428
03:18:36,359 --> 03:18:38,560
barsov good evening council members uh

4429
03:18:38,560 --> 03:18:40,359
I'm going to be talking uh talking on

4430
03:18:40,359 --> 03:18:42,960
the topic of housing um I believe I

4431
03:18:42,960 --> 03:18:44,920
emailed all of you about a few weeks ago

4432
03:18:44,920 --> 03:18:46,760
on this issue but I'm just here to talk

4433
03:18:46,760 --> 03:18:48,960
about it in person today some of these

4434
03:18:48,960 --> 03:18:50,800
policies do need environmental review

4435
03:18:50,800 --> 03:18:52,479
some of them don't some have been

4436
03:18:52,479 --> 03:18:55,960
instituted by cities like San Diego or

4437
03:18:55,960 --> 03:18:59,399
uh some cities in the east coast um but

4438
03:18:59,399 --> 03:19:01,840
this is just a rundown of our Arena

4439
03:19:01,840 --> 03:19:04,840
goals uh we have still thousands more

4440
03:19:04,840 --> 03:19:06,640
housing units to accomplish uh to

4441
03:19:06,640 --> 03:19:09,399
complete by the end of the decade and at

4442
03:19:09,399 --> 03:19:11,160
current Pace we're kind of decent but

4443
03:19:11,160 --> 03:19:13,880
we're not very and we could also make

4444
03:19:13,880 --> 03:19:16,160
extra money uh with a new housing policy

4445
03:19:16,160 --> 03:19:18,120
so these are just some policy positions

4446
03:19:18,120 --> 03:19:19,680
that you could advocate for to City

4447
03:19:19,680 --> 03:19:21,720
staff or just research so the first one

4448
03:19:21,720 --> 03:19:24,000
is reducing or Banning parking minimums

4449
03:19:24,000 --> 03:19:25,680
the second one is increasing the far

4450
03:19:25,680 --> 03:19:27,399
which is floor area ratio of

4451
03:19:27,399 --> 03:19:29,800
construction allow our greater lot size

4452
03:19:29,800 --> 03:19:31,960
usage allow greater discretionary

4453
03:19:31,960 --> 03:19:34,399
density bonus units reone glendle to

4454
03:19:34,399 --> 03:19:36,479
allow to Transit oriented development

4455
03:19:36,479 --> 03:19:38,279
specifically along Transit corridors of

4456
03:19:38,279 --> 03:19:39,920
bus lines with a frequency of 50 minutes

4457
03:19:39,920 --> 03:19:42,319
or better and around train stations

4458
03:19:42,319 --> 03:19:44,160
upzone Glen corridors and regions to

4459
03:19:44,160 --> 03:19:45,920
r1250 and

4460
03:19:45,920 --> 03:19:48,560
r2250 which is medium to high density

4461
03:19:48,560 --> 03:19:50,640
and just high density and allow more

4462
03:19:50,640 --> 03:19:52,160
mixed huse development on residential

4463
03:19:52,160 --> 03:19:54,160
only zones and allow residential zones

4464
03:19:54,160 --> 03:19:56,640
and Commercial only zones so essentially

4465
03:19:56,640 --> 03:19:58,319
when cities Implement these policies you

4466
03:19:58,319 --> 03:20:00,359
increase social cohesion walkability all

4467
03:20:00,359 --> 03:20:01,520
that good stuff that we need to reduce

4468
03:20:01,520 --> 03:20:03,439
our vehicle miles traveled to reduce our

4469
03:20:03,439 --> 03:20:05,000
emissions but we also increase the

4470
03:20:05,000 --> 03:20:07,279
housing stock we cool the housing market

4471
03:20:07,279 --> 03:20:09,760
we also create good money for the city

4472
03:20:09,760 --> 03:20:11,279
uh there's a lot of research on this uh

4473
03:20:11,279 --> 03:20:12,680
when we build trans oriented development

4474
03:20:12,680 --> 03:20:14,040
when we build mixed use development when

4475
03:20:14,040 --> 03:20:16,040
we build high with density more people

4476
03:20:16,040 --> 03:20:18,479
come into the city they provide

4477
03:20:18,479 --> 03:20:21,040
businesses provide more uh services and

4478
03:20:21,040 --> 03:20:23,720
vice versa sales tax goes up more people

4479
03:20:23,720 --> 03:20:25,080
spending money in the city is just good

4480
03:20:25,080 --> 03:20:26,760
for everyone and so if you want to get

4481
03:20:26,760 --> 03:20:28,560
ahead of our Arena goals and even

4482
03:20:28,560 --> 03:20:31,279
surpass them to be known as a city that

4483
03:20:31,279 --> 03:20:33,680
pass its housing goals with affordable

4484
03:20:33,680 --> 03:20:36,439
housing especially we could achieve that

4485
03:20:36,439 --> 03:20:37,640
in the city of glendle cuz we're already

4486
03:20:37,640 --> 03:20:40,040
kind of walkable I don't own a car I

4487
03:20:40,040 --> 03:20:42,040
take the bus usually I wish I could buy

4488
03:20:42,040 --> 03:20:43,720
every I don't know how to bike yet but

4489
03:20:43,720 --> 03:20:46,239
when we build more housing on corridors

4490
03:20:46,239 --> 03:20:49,279
we promote things like walkability and

4491
03:20:49,279 --> 03:20:51,000
having more Transit oriented development

4492
03:20:51,000 --> 03:20:53,600
and having more businesses be on the

4493
03:20:53,600 --> 03:20:55,279
first floor so people can see their

4494
03:20:55,279 --> 03:20:56,680
businesses and walk into the businesses

4495
03:20:56,680 --> 03:20:58,720
rather than zooming past them 50 mil per

4496
03:20:58,720 --> 03:21:01,040
hour so those are just some options on

4497
03:21:01,040 --> 03:21:02,359
how we can solve the housing crisis that

4498
03:21:02,359 --> 03:21:04,199
we currently have and I'll forward this

4499
03:21:04,199 --> 03:21:05,880
email to you guys again so you have like

4500
03:21:05,880 --> 03:21:08,560
the list of policies thank you thank you

4501
03:21:08,560 --> 03:21:11,399
and and by the way the email you sent I

4502
03:21:11,399 --> 03:21:14,760
did share with M with Mr Calbert and I

4503
03:21:14,760 --> 03:21:17,359
did respond to you right yes you and

4504
03:21:17,359 --> 03:21:19,199
Paul Divine did thank you okay but I

4505
03:21:19,199 --> 03:21:20,920
mean the point is that we are thinking

4506
03:21:20,920 --> 03:21:22,680
about all of these

4507
03:21:22,680 --> 03:21:25,279

mayor and council members thank you I'm

4516
03:21:50,239 --> 03:21:53,000
here today just to remind you that a lot

4517
03:21:53,000 --> 03:21:58,000
of the work that you are doing is just

4518
03:21:58,000 --> 03:22:02,040
um tacking around the edges of a problem

4519
03:22:02,040 --> 03:22:05,319
and the problem that we have in Glendale

4520
03:22:05,319 --> 03:22:07,640
among the residents is that rents are

4521
03:22:07,640 --> 03:22:11,279
too high and that people believe and

4522
03:22:11,279 --> 03:22:14,880
that it's their right to um treat

4523
03:22:14,880 --> 03:22:19,439
tenants like little um little toys or

4524
03:22:19,439 --> 03:22:22,040
dots to be moved around in other words

4525
03:22:22,040 --> 03:22:24,359
if you look at the grace the grace and

4526
03:22:24,359 --> 03:22:27,080
management company that is in charge of

4527
03:22:27,080 --> 03:22:30,479
the onx you will see that they have

4528
03:22:30,479 --> 03:22:35,000
raised the rents a lot this year um only

4529
03:22:35,000 --> 03:22:37,199
up to the amount of course that they

4530
03:22:37,199 --> 03:22:40,920
were legally um able to do that but they

4531
03:22:40,920 --> 03:22:43,960
are forcing those tenants in the onx to

4532
03:22:43,960 --> 03:22:47,479
move out just like Mom and Pops in

4533
03:22:47,479 --> 03:22:50,680
Glendale are forcing people to move out

4534
03:22:50,680 --> 03:22:53,600
it's people want to stay in Glendale

4535
03:22:53,600 --> 03:22:56,720
they want to keep their home and they

4536
03:22:56,720 --> 03:22:58,680
can't

4537
03:22:58,680 --> 03:23:01,840
so that's an ongoing

4538
03:23:01,840 --> 03:23:03,520
problem

4539
03:23:03,520 --> 03:23:07,319
um here uh I do I wanted to say thank

4540
03:23:07,319 --> 03:23:10,239
you very much for working um and

4541
03:23:10,239 --> 03:23:13,600
considering the um ad hoc um tenant

4542
03:23:13,600 --> 03:23:15,479
landord committee the idea of an udman

4543
03:23:15,479 --> 03:23:18,239
is a good one I think um we need a

4544
03:23:18,239 --> 03:23:22,479
community leas on who uh somebody who

4545
03:23:22,479 --> 03:23:26,000
can have boots on the ground and really

4546
03:23:26,000 --> 03:23:30,000
get out and um be one with the people

4547
03:23:30,000 --> 03:23:33,640
and and help people I know that because

4548
03:23:33,640 --> 03:23:35,359
those are some of the things that I do

4549
03:23:35,359 --> 03:23:38,640
in the Glendale tenis Union I know we we

4550
03:23:38,640 --> 03:23:40,840
spend hundreds of Y hours working with

4551
03:23:40,840 --> 03:23:42,439
people

4552
03:23:42,439 --> 03:23:46,760
you know um getting um every imagin

4553
03:23:46,760 --> 03:23:49,120
imaginary thing you can think of that a

4554
03:23:49,120 --> 03:23:51,279
tenant has to go through when they are

4555
03:23:51,279 --> 03:23:53,080
being forced to move or when they want

4556
03:23:53,080 --> 03:23:56,399
to fight the move they do call the city

4557
03:23:56,399 --> 03:23:58,560
sometimes sometimes they don't sometimes

4558
03:23:58,560 --> 03:24:00,960
they just call us but they call the city

4559
03:24:00,960 --> 03:24:03,840
and a and and a phone call isn't going

4560
03:24:03,840 --> 03:24:05,640
to get them where they need to be so

4561
03:24:05,640 --> 03:24:07,640
they need more than that we know that

4562
03:24:07,640 --> 03:24:09,359
that's why we end up spending hundreds

4563
03:24:09,359 --> 03:24:13,680
of hours working with them um one idea

4564
03:24:13,680 --> 03:24:16,560
that I that Mr Milano had that I

4565
03:24:16,560 --> 03:24:20,439
appreciate and is that he said you know

4566
03:24:20,439 --> 03:24:24,640
um get the facts whatever but um I say

4567
03:24:24,640 --> 03:24:27,800
on top of that is go to the city um

4568
03:24:27,800 --> 03:24:29,880
agencies who are dealing with those

4569
03:24:29,880 --> 03:24:32,560
people who are having hardships and meet

4570
03:24:32,560 --> 03:24:34,680
with them regularly or have them report

4571
03:24:34,680 --> 03:24:36,880
to you regularly when I call the

4572
03:24:36,880 --> 03:24:39,479
Armenian Relief Society they tell me the

4573
03:24:39,479 --> 03:24:42,199

ahead hi everyone my name is merus

4595
03:25:50,359 --> 03:25:52,840
penan and I was calling I was very

4596
03:25:52,840 --> 03:25:55,279
concerned about um the coyotes there's a

4597
03:25:55,279 --> 03:25:56,600
lot of like

4598
03:25:56,600 --> 03:25:59,439
coyotes in and around the kenet Village

4599
03:25:59,439 --> 03:26:01,399
area and then also I've noticed they're

4600
03:26:01,399 --> 03:26:03,800
coming down almost all the way to Glenn

4601
03:26:03,800 --> 03:26:07,279
Glen Oak like between Glenwood and GL

4602
03:26:07,279 --> 03:26:09,760
and um you know last night I was like

4603
03:26:09,760 --> 03:26:12,120
walking someone to their car and it was

4604
03:26:12,120 --> 03:26:13,840
literally like right there and then a

4605
03:26:13,840 --> 03:26:16,640
couple of times this month and then

4606
03:26:16,640 --> 03:26:19,279
three or four times while walking at

4607
03:26:19,279 --> 03:26:21,760
night so it's um it's pretty concerning

4608
03:26:21,760 --> 03:26:23,199
and I don't understand like what the

4609
03:26:23,199 --> 03:26:24,840
issue is I've always seen coyotes but

4610
03:26:24,840 --> 03:26:27,600
I've never seen them imp pass and all

4611
03:26:27,600 --> 03:26:30,080

4613
03:26:32,800 --> 03:26:37,349
all the way down to like that

sharp uptick in in

4704
03:31:47,560 --> 03:31:51,000
had to say you know we all know what's

4705
03:31:51,000 --> 03:31:53,840
going on with the Glend Del school board

4706
03:31:53,840 --> 03:31:56,640
and the Unified School District and all

4707
03:31:56,640 --> 03:31:58,960
the

4708
03:31:58,960 --> 03:32:01,560
political activism that's been stirred

4709
03:32:01,560 --> 03:32:03,640
up and the emotions that have been

4710
03:32:03,640 --> 03:32:06,760
stirred up but I really don't like you

4711
03:32:06,760 --> 03:32:09,640
know this is the city council that's the

4712
03:32:09,640 --> 03:32:14,520
school board I really don't like to

4713
03:32:14,520 --> 03:32:20,160
see the people the activist who are

4714
03:32:20,160 --> 03:32:22,960
protesting the school board's actions

4715
03:32:22,960 --> 03:32:25,319

4716
03:32:25,319 --> 03:32:28,199
into city council city council meeting

4717
03:32:28,199 --> 03:32:31,080
City Council Members I mean I may be

4718
03:32:31,080 --> 03:32:32,920
wrong it just doesn't seem appropriate

4719
03:32:32,920 --> 03:32:35,520
to me it's two different bodies and I

4720
03:32:35,520 --> 03:32:38,479
don't really care what the views of an

4721
03:32:38,479 --> 03:32:41,600
individual council member are

4722
03:32:41,600 --> 03:32:45,000
and to me it's just you know it's not

4723
03:32:45,000 --> 03:32:48,359
relevant to me what I look for is their

4724
03:32:48,359 --> 03:32:50,720
judgment and their decision-making

4725
03:32:50,720 --> 03:32:54,439
