306
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,120
that our cable department has covered

307
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:03,559
throughout the years uh with us being

311
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:15,559

we hosted a fitness Clinic uh one of the

313
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:20,440
good things about the Dodgers is that

314
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,480
because of who they are and what their

315
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,320

00:24:05,159 --> 00:24:10,760
um brought out it hasn't it hasn't gone

376
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:14,120
live is we were able to se have three

377
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:16,400
kids be selected by Nike to be uh part

378
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:18,320
of their new campaign for youth so

379
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,440
that's three kids in Hawthorne are

380
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:24,559
representing uh the city of Hawthorne

381
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:26,880
with Nike uh to do uh photo shoots for

382
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:28,480
baseball and their new apparel

383
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,080
everything that they have that's coming

384
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,600
out in their division so these are

385
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,799
different activities and opportunities

386
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,360
that kids would otherwise would never

387
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:39,600
get a chance to so these are things that

388
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:41,679
are making an impact in these kids'

389
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,440
lives uh that are definitely going to

390
00:24:41,679 --> 00:24:48,120
make uh help them become contribute uh

391
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,120
successful contributors of the

392
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:56,039
world so that leads me to the actual

393
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,880
presentation Focus uh the dream field so

394
00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:59,640
every year the Dodger dream team from

395
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,720
ation works with different

396
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:05,480
municipalities and programs to create a

397
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,880
dream field this is basically revamping

398
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:11,200
the uh baseball facilities that a city

399
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,039
has to make it more usable for their

400
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,320
program uh

401
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:18,480
participants uh over the years the city

402
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:22,240
uh the Dodgers Dream Team Foundation has

403
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:25,279
a goal of 75 Fields by the year of

404
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:29,039
2033 uh right now they're currently at

405
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:32,039
63 uh three being in the city of San

406
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:34,679
Bernardino uh that that just the did the

407
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:37,000
groundbreaking last November and are set

408
00:25:34,679 --> 00:25:41,200
to reopen this uh

409
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:45,039
spring so they've invested $19.6 million

410
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,039
on these uh Fields as of

411
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,919
date and uh the city of Hawthorne is

412
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,880
actually being considered for a Dodger

413
00:25:50,919 --> 00:25:56,360
dream field so on the board you all

414
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,320
notice some of the surrounding cities

415
00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:00,279
lanx Englewood

416
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,159
uh several at Englewood both for their

417
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:06,520
city and then the county part and the

418
00:26:03,159 --> 00:26:08,919
latest one was uh done at Edward Vincent

419
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,919
Jr

420
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:16,360
Park so some of the benefits uh for

421
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,480
these Dodger dream Fields everybody

422
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,159
knows that with the increasing uh

423
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,640
population here in the County of Los

424
00:26:20,159 --> 00:26:23,840
Angeles and the city of Los Angeles

425
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:28,520
we're kind of we're running out of uh

426
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:30,960
park space for our um all of our

427
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,799
community members so uh these are just

428
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,960
some of the the percentages of the

429
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:38,360
things of why we it's important for us

430
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,279
to have space for kids to participate in

431
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:44,000
Ro uh recreational programming not just

432
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:47,919
baseball uh so we really want to focus

433
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:50,559
on giving kids an opportunity to um to

434
00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:53,440
improve their lives on the social and

435
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:56,880
emotional uh

436
00:26:53,440 --> 00:27:00,000
side uh why Hawthorne uh we do use our

437
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,080
our Parks free frequently and highly uh

438
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,320
not just from a department standpoint

439
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,640
but for also from the local high schools

440
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:11,520
in the area uh and also the little

441
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:14,559
leagues uh our Park facilities are in

442
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,240
dire need of uh Renovations we also want

443
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:19,679
to create a safer Park the everybody

444
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,880
knows that the nicer a park is the more

445
00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:24,679
people are going to want to go to

446
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,480
it um and also this is going to have an

447
00:27:24,679 --> 00:27:28,240
increase in our programming because

448
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,320
people want to go

449
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:33,440
where Dodger dream fields are being

450
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,080
built um also the opportunity for

451
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,640
additional prog programming is always a

452
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:43,399
key Focus everybody knows that the

453
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:45,600
Dodgers uh franchise is not just a local

454
00:27:43,399 --> 00:27:50,840
uh known team this is this team has

455
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:52,519
become a u International known team uh

456
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,279
just be with the recent signings that

457
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:57,640
they've had they just the impact that

458
00:27:54,279 --> 00:28:01,000
they have on a global uh scale is going

459
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,240
to be very important and to be able to

460
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,320
have a

461
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,960
a just a partnership with such team is

462
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,960
going to bring a lot of benefits to the

463
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:17,799
city uh some of the things I would

464
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:21,159
happen if if the city does support this

465
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:24,720
uh motion is uh our Fields will receive

466
00:28:21,159 --> 00:28:28,279
all proper leveling for safety reasons

467
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:31,080
uh the base anchors uh at multiple links

468
00:28:28,279 --> 00:28:33,640
upgraded back stops uh these are all

469
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,720
safety precautions so that our kids are

470
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,519
able to place the sport in the safe

471
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,519
Manner and not get

472
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:50,039
hurt so with the support of council uh

473
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,440
back in 2022 conversations did start of

474
00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:55,640
hawthor being one of those selected

475
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:58,200
cities uh for the Dodger dream Fields

476
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:02,080
specifically at gy Thor Park

477
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:05,039
uh last year contractors uh were sent to

478
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,320
the the actual Park to survey the

479
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:10,279
facilities uh and then we're looking at

480
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,000
2024 being uh where the Dodgers

481
00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:14,679
Foundation secures the majority of the

482
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,919
funding for this project uh it would be

483
00:29:14,679 --> 00:29:20,559
it would include both fields at gy Thor

484
00:29:16,919 --> 00:29:24,440
Park uh so next we we just also ask for

485
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:24,440
the support of city council to back this

486
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:32,600

558
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,200
programming to families that need it

559
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:32,039
because because uh I mean it resonates a

560
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,000
lot with me I'm the second oldest of

561
00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:36,360
five kids and my parents couldn't afford

562
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,720
programming because of how expensive it

563
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:42,760
was so uh I had a volunteer to cover

564
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:45,440
those costs and that led me to working

565
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,399
at a park to finding what I wanted to do

566
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,919
in life and giving back to the community

567
00:32:47,399 --> 00:32:52,960
so this is something that uh you guys

568
00:32:49,919 --> 00:32:55,960
are giving other kids an opportunity to

569
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,240
have meet a mentor and connect them with

570
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,559
the necessary service services and

571
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,399
programs that they need so that they can

572
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:02,399
become good human

573
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:09,559

improvements it takes money and often

604

interim government relations manager

639
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,480
covering the city of of Hawthorne um I

640
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:04,440
had listened to the last city council

641
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,599
presentation about ab25 and when I

642
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,640
talked with the city manager we thought

643
00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:11,040
it might be a good idea to come back

644
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,599
because we heard some uh information uh

645
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,480
that wasn't totally correct um so I

646
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:19,040
brought with me tonight Ron gailes

647
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:21,839

Mayor uh mayor protm council members

657
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,400
really grateful for the opportunity to

658
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,640
address some of the concerns

659
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:55,240
specifically about uh the proposed fixed

660
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:58,400
charge on electricity bills that's the

661
00:36:55,240 --> 00:37:00,079
uh Downstream effect of of ab 205 which

662
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,680
was passed in Sacramento and with your

663
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:03,400
permission I'd like to speak more about

664
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,040
Southern California Edison's proposal

665
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,920
and how it would benefit the residents

666
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,920
of not just Hawthorne the city of

667
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:13,720
Hawthorne but all Southern California uh

668
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:16,440
residents um if that's all right uh

669
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:18,440
there is a presentation on the screen uh

670
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,760
but rather than take the time to go

671
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,800
through that I'd really like to address

672
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,960
some concerns and and there has been a

673
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:27,319
great deal of misinformation spread on

674
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:29,800
social media and other um media Outlet

675
00:37:27,319 --> 00:37:32,800
about the fixed charge that I'd like to

676
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,920
address um one of those uh that I see

677
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,319
used a great deal by opponents of the

678
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:40,480
fixed charge is calling it a utility tax

679
00:37:38,319 --> 00:37:43,200
this is a um really false

680
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,960
characterization this is no is in no way

681
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,000
a tax and I'll and I'll explain why the

682
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,800
fixed charge that is being proposed

683
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,760
first of all I a little background this

684
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,040
as as I said as a result of the passage

685
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,880
of ab25 in Sacramento uh there are a

686
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,680
number of of participants in this

687
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:03,280
proceeding by the California Public

688
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,960
Utilities Commission scce uh pg& up

689
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,079
north San Diego Gas and Electric down

690
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,359
south there were just some of the

691
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:10,400
participants there are others that are

692
00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:13,240
making proposals as well our proposal

693
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,480
for this fixed charge um the benefit for

694
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:17,560
all residential customers is that it

695
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,800
would lower the cost of using

696
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,000
electricity uh pardon me for being

697
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:25,440
simplistic but uh you hear the term

698
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,720
cents per kilowatt hour it's similar to

699
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,480
hearing about dollars per gallon in gas

700
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:31,119
cents per kilowatt hour is what

701
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,440
customers pay that's what they see on

702
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:35,200
their bill what the fixed charge would

703
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,560
do the structure that's being proposed

704
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:41,040
by Southern California Edison is it

705
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:44,160
would reduce the rates that customers

706
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:47,040
pay to use electricity and our we we see

707
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,400
that if our authorization I'm sorry our

708
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,800
proposal is approved those rates those

709
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,440
rates would drop by

710
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:57,720
25% now what does that mean for people

711
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,119
who uh during the hot times of year when

712
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:00,760
they are turning up their air

713
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:04,160
conditioning to deal with the uh

714
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,640
increasing numbers of very hot days

715
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,400
that's going to cost less if you use the

716
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,760
same amount of electricity before you're

717
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:14,319
going to be paying less for using that

718
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:16,240
electricity um there are people who um

719
00:39:14,319 --> 00:39:18,319
they may in the future now either now or

720
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:21,119
in the future want to make use of

721
00:39:18,319 --> 00:39:23,000
electric vehicles one out of four cars

722
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:26,720
being sold in California right now is an

723
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,599
electric vehicle um today a lot lot of

724
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:31,400
people are uh not in position to

725
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:33,440
purchase one or lease one but they may

726
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,960
be in the future and by lowering that

727
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:39,319
cents per kilowatt hour rate what that

728
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:43,240
means is the fuel that you're using to

729
00:39:39,319 --> 00:39:45,920
to power that vehicle costs less so the

730
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:47,000
idea of the fixed charge is on a

731
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:51,640
customer's

732
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:54,760
Bill the uh the costs of energy would be

733
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,880
separated out there's no additional uh

734
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,640
markup to that it is solely the cost of

735
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,319
providing that energy and that depends

736
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,400
on how much a customer uses the other

737
00:40:01,319 --> 00:40:06,240
part of the bill would be a standard

738
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:09,079
charge just like this seen on cable

739
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:12,839
bills on phone service bills on Water

740
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:16,400
Service bills

741
00:40:12,839 --> 00:40:18,560
um the it has also been said that this

742
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,960
uh proposal would be income based in the

743
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,960
sense that you wouldn't be paying based

744
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,839
on your usage you'd be paying based on

745
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,880
your household income that too is

746
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:30,440
incorrect the only thing that would be

747
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:32,200
affected by the um a household income is

748
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,880
the amount of the fixed charge in

749
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,319
general what scce is proposing and there

750
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,520
are different proposals from different

751
00:40:36,319 --> 00:40:40,440
groups is that there would be a standard

752
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,960
fixed charge for all residential

753
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,599
customers that would be the same on the

754
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,280
bill every

755
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:49,400
month the exception would be customers

756
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:52,520
who qualify based on their household

757
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:55,000
income for discounts on their bill they

758
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,240
would get a lower fixed charge and for

759
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,800
clarification what SE is proposing is

760
00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:01,720
that those customers they are enrolled

761
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:05,000
in programs known as care or Farah and

762
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:07,000
by the way um we found that about 30% of

763
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,079
Hawthorne's residents are in those in

764
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,839
income qualified

765
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:15,200
programs their their fixed charge would

766
00:41:11,839 --> 00:41:17,000
be lower either 10 or $15 a month the

767
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,520
fixed charge for all other residential

768
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,319
customers and that would just be

769
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,599
throughout the state would be $51 and

770
00:41:21,319 --> 00:41:26,800
that's what we're proposing but again

771
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,839
not a tax on top of existing charg

772
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,000
what would happen is a reduction in

773
00:41:28,839 --> 00:41:33,200
using electricity the idea is paying

774
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,079
less for for using electricity that's

775
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,240
what that is about so I just want to

776
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:40,319
address those concerns about it being a

777
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:44,240
tax or it being U requiring some income

778
00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:47,640
verification there would be no need in

779
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,760
our most current proposal for anyone uh

780
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,480
who is not enrolled in car and Farah

781
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,880
there wouldn't be no need for income

782
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,280
verification for those customers

783
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,520
customers who are enrolled in those

784
00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:00,440
programs they already undergo a a

785
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,440
verification process to make sure that

786
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,160
they're qualifying for those 30 and 18%

787
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,520
discounts and by the way for the

788
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:11,839
attendees if people here believe that

789
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:13,839
they are um qualified for those rates we

790
00:42:11,839 --> 00:42:15,839
encourage as many customers as possible

791
00:42:13,839 --> 00:42:18,400
who qualify to sign up for this because

792
00:42:15,839 --> 00:42:22,520
they do provide really needed discounts

793
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,800
for for households that um are in the uh

794
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,200
below the federal poverty

795
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:29,839
line um

796
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,040
oh sure sorry I get a little carried

797
00:42:29,839 --> 00:42:35,079
away with this

798
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,079
um one other thing I want to address

799
00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:40,200
here that a lot of people like to accuse

800
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:45,079
the utility of using this as a way to

801
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:47,160
earn uh more money um the way the uh

802
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:49,480
fixed charge is structured is that

803
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,359
utilities would not receive any more

804
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,119
money than they receiving now what

805
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:55,720
happened is the amount of money that

806
00:42:53,119 --> 00:42:57,720
comes in would be paid uh by different

807
00:42:55,720 --> 00:43:02,000
customers I'll be and I'll be direct

808
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:04,640
here uh customers with um large families

809
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,520
who use a lot of electricity they will

810
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,839
benefit from the lower cents per

811
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:14,079
kilowatt hour um if someone is if you're

812
00:43:10,839 --> 00:43:16,240
a customer who uses a lot of electricity

813
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:19,640
who does crank up their AC during those

814
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:21,839
very hot years hot times of year these

815
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,800
lower cents per kilowatt hour rates will

816
00:43:21,839 --> 00:43:25,079
benefit you by the way I didn't even

817
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,200
mention about the care and fair

818
00:43:25,079 --> 00:43:29,160
customers the way this is structured is

819
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,319
those customers who are enrolled in

820
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:34,599
those income qualified programs they

821
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:38,000
would see their bill go down we see we

822
00:43:34,599 --> 00:43:40,160
estimate by between 5% and 18% so there

823
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,480
are benefits for low-income customers

824
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,359
but there are benefits for all

825
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:47,599
residential customers as well and cost

826
00:43:44,359 --> 00:43:50,640
in less cost for using

827
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:52,480
electricity I another thing I want to

828
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,359
address really briefly I know we have a

829
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,800
short amount of time is that California

830
00:43:55,359 --> 00:43:58,760
is going to be using using more and more

831
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,040
electricity californ going to be using

832
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,240
more and more electricity that's why

833
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,480
it's important and we're very cognizant

834
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:08,440
to get that sense per kilowatt hour rate

835
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,280
down and this is one of the ways we're

836
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,680
looking to do that

837
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,640
um I'm going to stop there and I would

838
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:19,240
like to open it up to any questions from

839
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:21,200
U council members thanks very much for

840
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:23,000
the

841
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,599
opportunity uh quick question could you

842
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,640
repeat what those fixed charges are

843
00:44:25,599 --> 00:44:28,319
certainly

844
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,000
the standard charge and this would be

845
00:44:28,319 --> 00:44:34,559
for all residential customers would be

846
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,640
$51 customers who qualify for income

847
00:44:34,559 --> 00:44:40,839
qualified programs uh known as care or

848
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:44,119
Farah their fixed charge would be1 or

849
00:44:40,839 --> 00:44:47,640
$15 depending on where they fall in the

850
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,640
um household income

851
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:54,640
Spectrum anybody

852
00:44:51,559 --> 00:44:57,079
else thank you thank you Edison for

853
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,760
being here for your presentation

854
00:44:57,079 --> 00:45:01,040
um as you are aware we're part of an

855
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,760
aggregation with clean power Alliance of

856
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:07,520
Southern California I would like to see

857
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:09,160
uh Southern California um California our

858
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,119
not our aggregation actually com and

859
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,839
present also so that we could truly

860
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:14,839
understand because we have two sets of

861
00:45:12,839 --> 00:45:17,000
customers here customers that are with

862
00:45:14,839 --> 00:45:19,599
Edison and customers that are with clean

863
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,319
power Alliance and they have to buy in

864
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:23,880
obviously to clean power Alliance who is

865
00:45:21,319 --> 00:45:26,240
perring at a lower cost energy to the

866
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,839
residents of Hawthorne so having said

867
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:31,040
that I would like to see that happen

868
00:45:28,839 --> 00:45:33,280
city manager in bringing clean power

869
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:36,760
Alliance to help us understand a little

870
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,839
bit more on what this means uh on uh top

871
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:41,359
of that

872
00:45:38,839 --> 00:45:43,680
um not all the communities here in

873
00:45:41,359 --> 00:45:45,280
Southern California in my opinion and

874
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,480
listening to what's occurring currently

875
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,200
with the Pu and they have to have a

876
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,079
response back by July one on what

877
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,880
selection they're all going to make with

878
00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:57,240
regards to how uh residents are paying

879
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,720
for their electricity right um some

880
00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:01,599
communities will benefit where others

881
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:04,319
might not we're talking about Sacramento

882
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:05,520
Fresno other areas and then you have

883
00:46:04,319 --> 00:46:09,480
Southern

884
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:12,000
California um I understand that there's

885
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:15,119
uh an incentive program that some

886
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,319
receive right for using lesser energy at

887
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:19,160
least from clean plow Alliance I have

888
00:46:17,319 --> 00:46:20,960
yet to hear whether Edison has an

889
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,880
incentive such as that as well for

890
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:29,160
residents that are using less energy

891
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:33,440
however um I I want to know more on for

892
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:37,319
instance the um pay schedule that folks

893
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:39,800
that from what I understand is the based

894
00:46:37,319 --> 00:46:41,839
income that they receive what that looks

895
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:46,920
like for for our residents in Hawthorne

896
00:46:41,839 --> 00:46:49,559
right so there's a proposal for how it's

897
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:52,319
revamped electricity rates based on

898
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:54,119
income right and you're saying that

899
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:56,000
they're not going to be looking into

900
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:58,440
personal data or information on how

901
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,400
residents what their annual income is or

902
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,599
how they're going to be charged based

903
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,960
off of that income okay that that's

904
00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:08,000
that's some of the stuff that's

905
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:10,480
obviously being said right how they're

906
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,119
they're going to be um build differently

907
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:15,960
because of their income I know the Care

908
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:19,480
Act is basically for those that are

909
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,280
lower income have special needs have um

910
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,559
families with special needs and how they

911
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:27,040
could apply to receive a lower cost uh

912
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:31,119
bill um however I think there still

913
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:33,119
needs to be um more Community discussion

914
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:35,520
and more Community input so that there's

915
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:38,200
a real understanding of who and how is

916
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,720
it's being benefited

917
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:43,160
um your discussion tonight is basically

918
00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:45,319
saying if you lose if use lower energy

919
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,760
you're going to get a lower bill right

920
00:47:45,319 --> 00:47:51,079
if you lose if you use less energy your

921
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:53,680
bill will be less let me be clear the

922
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:55,559
energy part of the bill will be lower

923
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,760
depending if you if year-over-year use

924
00:47:55,559 --> 00:47:59,440
the the same

925
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,200
amount that part of the bill like I said

926
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,680
they would be split into two parts of

927
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,800
the bill the part that covers the cost

928
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,720
of energy and that other part that fixed

929
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,720
charge and that would cover the cost of

930
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:12,319
things such as the infrastructure that

931
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:14,359
uh Southern California Edison builds

932
00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:18,000
operates and maintains all the steel and

933
00:48:14,359 --> 00:48:20,200
wires and poles and and vaults Etc and

934
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,960
all the customer service people all the

935
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,440
parts of our business operation that

936
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,839
would be contained in the fixed chart so

937
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:29,720
a customer who sees their bill they'll

938
00:48:25,839 --> 00:48:32,800
say oh I'm paying $51 if our proposal is

939
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:35,119
accepted um for all that and then my

940
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,880
energy use I'm paying for what I

941
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:40,280
use did that clar did that clarify at

942
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,520
all so there's two charges it's one bill

943
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:45,319
but the bill is separated into those two

944
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,000
charges right now it's all in one cents

945
00:48:45,319 --> 00:48:49,440
per kilowatt hour but there's two

946
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,760
charges there are two categories of

947
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,799
charges and they're put together yes two

948
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,839
charges yes and some people will pay

949
00:48:54,799 --> 00:48:59,559
more and and some people will pay less

950
00:48:56,839 --> 00:49:01,599
we as we say people with who are on the

951
00:48:59,559 --> 00:49:05,680
lower end of the income Spectrum will

952
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:08,400
have lower um bills total bills um but

953
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,000
it's going to depend a lot on usage I

954
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,680
think the people who are less likely to

955
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,400
benefit for example are people who are

956
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,079
let's say one or two people living in a

957
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,960
household and they don't use much

958
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:21,400
electricity they don't turn up their uh

959
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,640
um their air conditioning when it gets

960
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,280
hot um that kind of there are not going

961
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:28,000
to be immediate beneficiaries but as

962
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,720
people use more and more

963
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,920
electricity having a lower cost per

964
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:34,520
kilowatt hour is going to benefit not

965
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,280
just lower income households it's people

966
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,640
who use electricity and we believe

967
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,880
Southern California Edison does that

968
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,799
there's going to be more and more

969
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,559
electrification and important to keep

970
00:49:41,799 --> 00:49:46,599
the cost of those of using electricity

971
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:49,400
down I hope that was helpful you know it

972
00:49:46,599 --> 00:49:51,599
was helpful okay it was helpful and you

973
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,599
know you you're it kind of spoke to me

974
00:49:51,599 --> 00:49:56,040
because I'm only one in a household just

975
00:49:54,599 --> 00:49:58,359
myself

976
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,720
I don't use air conditioning and I don't

977
00:49:58,359 --> 00:50:03,720
use

978
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:05,880
heat okay and still my bills high so

979
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:08,240
that's just an example of myself yes and

980
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,880
I could show you my build but I'm with

981
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:14,400
I'm with also clean power Alliance right

982
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:18,200
yes and I just want to make sure that

983
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,200
again the community

984
00:50:18,599 --> 00:50:23,319
understands prior to the first so there

985
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,839
could be more Buy in and more

986
00:50:23,319 --> 00:50:28,200
understanding on what your bill is going

987
00:50:24,839 --> 00:50:29,720
to look like moving forward with two

988
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,760
cost

989
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:34,960
basically yes okay absolutely agree and

990
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Diane has a point which you'd like to

991
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:41,040
introduce um so if you were part of the

992
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:43,680
clean power Alliance it those customers

993
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,799
would are also included in this

994
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,280
proceeding and you know there you can

995
00:50:45,799 --> 00:50:50,119
you know of course invite them to

996
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:54,280
present um there's no problem with that

997
00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:57,839
U the the legislation itself one of the

998
00:50:54,280 --> 00:51:01,240
primary drivers was to try to make the

999
00:50:57,839 --> 00:51:04,200
total bill less for those who can least

1000
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:08,000
afford it the care and fairer customers

1001
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:10,079
and at the same time recognizing that as

1002
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:14,280
Ron had said you know electricity is

1003
00:51:10,079 --> 00:51:17,359
going to be used more and more so trying

1004
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:21,280
to reach the clean energy goals to have

1005
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:23,000
that variable rate be less so and then

1006
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:26,680
they're receiving all these different

1007
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:29,400
proposals and it is a a public Forum

1008
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:33,680
that you know comment could be taken

1009
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:36,480
sure um you know like the Pu just to

1010
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:39,000
make that meeting alone is is hard for

1011
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:41,680
difficults to get to provide you know

1012
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,640
public comment so again it's it's it's

1013
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,319
important uh for the residents of

1014
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:48,599
Hawthorne and what this might mean to

1015
00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:50,760
them uh with regards to the changes but

1016
00:51:48,599 --> 00:51:52,480
I appreciate Edison making the time to

1017
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,440
come out and give a presentation to

1018
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,920
council look forward for additional

1019
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:59,000
dialogue with your your agency and more

1020
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,000
importantly advocating for the residents

1021
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,680
of Hawthorne to Ure that they understand

1022
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,599
what exactly this

1023
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:07,400
means we are very appreciative of of

1024
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:09,559
that opportunity and would really we

1025
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:12,480
believe as well we would like

1026
00:52:09,559 --> 00:52:14,960
to make sure that the residents of

1027
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:18,400
Hawthorne are well informed and can make

1028
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:20,000
a decision based on um all sides of the

1029
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:24,400
argument so that's thank you very much

1030
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:27,359
for the opportunity thank you so you

1031
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,760
yeah all right real quick question so

1032
00:52:27,359 --> 00:52:33,520
essentially um if I'm gone for a month

1033
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:36,640
from my house and if right currently I'm

1034
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:39,520
not using I use zero watts per hour my

1035
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:44,359
should technically be paying zero

1036
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:47,319
right well um what the electric grid

1037
00:52:44,359 --> 00:52:50,119
even when you're not at at your home is

1038
00:52:47,319 --> 00:52:53,160
still operating so yes your usage would

1039
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:56,319
be zero but uh all people who are

1040
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:59,319
connected to the grid are have

1041
00:52:56,319 --> 00:53:02,599
a it's in everyone's interest that

1042
00:52:59,319 --> 00:53:06,040
everyone who is benefiting from the

1043
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:07,880
electric grid takes part in the building

1044
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,839
operations and upkeep of it because it's

1045
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:12,599
some it's a system that serves all of us

1046
00:53:10,839 --> 00:53:15,440
so yet but your energy charge for that

1047
00:53:12,599 --> 00:53:16,680
month yes would be Zero Energy charge

1048
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,839
the energy charge would I'm talking

1049
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,200
about the existing you're saying that

1050
00:53:17,839 --> 00:53:22,040
we're moving into a system where we're

1051
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:24,359
going to have two piles one to cover

1052
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:28,040
infrastructure and one that is uh

1053
00:53:24,359 --> 00:53:30,000
proportional to the use cost the cost is

1054
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:32,319
proportional to the amount of that we

1055
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,359
use that is the proposal for the fixed

1056
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:38,119
charge and that is to um yeah to make

1057
00:53:35,359 --> 00:53:40,119
sure that the costs of maintaining that

1058
00:53:38,119 --> 00:53:42,680
infrastructure continue and are as

1059
00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:44,960
equitably shared as possible okay but so

1060
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,960
currently you're saying what I'm hearing

1061
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,040
you saying is that we already have

1062
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:51,119
something like that in

1063
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:54,079
place or if I get my bill I'm out of

1064
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:56,200
town I'm often like a on a business trip

1065
00:53:54,079 --> 00:53:58,040
to like Europe or something mhm and I

1066
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,400
don't get to use everything's off yeah

1067
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:03,280
sure the electric Grid's on surrounding

1068
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:06,079
me what should I approximately be be

1069
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:08,319
paying so um let me see if I understand

1070
00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:10,240
your question when you're right now

1071
00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:11,240
there is the rate you pay for I'm going

1072
00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:14,200
to give you the average rate for

1073
00:54:11,240 --> 00:54:17,119
residential customer is 36 cents per

1074
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:19,000
kilowatt hour okay included in that is

1075
00:54:17,119 --> 00:54:22,680
all the infrastructure and included in

1076
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:24,200
that is all the the amount of the energy

1077
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,599
you're using you're getting paid uh

1078
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,880
you're getting charged 6 cents for each

1079
00:54:26,599 --> 00:54:32,720
kilowatt hour that you're using this

1080
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:34,839
breaks it out so that um customers who

1081
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:35,599
are using less they're not going to pay

1082
00:54:34,839 --> 00:54:37,799
like you

1083
00:54:35,599 --> 00:54:39,960
said I'm sorry that I misunderstood I

1084
00:54:37,799 --> 00:54:42,359
apologize I turn off all my appliances

1085
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:45,040
in my house I turn off all the lights

1086
00:54:42,359 --> 00:54:47,880
there's nothing's on everything's

1087
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,400
disconnected so I should pay zero dollar

1088
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,960
well let me ask you this if you don't

1089
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:54,119
use your cell phone for a month and you

1090
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,839
don't make any text and you don't call

1091
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:58,400
you will likely get a bill from the cell

1092
00:54:55,839 --> 00:54:59,359
phone company for your usage of that no

1093
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,960
I don't care about the cell phone

1094
00:54:59,359 --> 00:55:03,520
company I'm not talking about you I want

1095
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,839
to find out from you right but but what

1096
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,799
I'm saying is the fixed charge is

1097
00:55:04,839 --> 00:55:08,960
something that's not just in electricity

1098
00:55:06,799 --> 00:55:12,200
it's used by a utilities all kinds of

1099
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,599
utilities for water service for um like

1100
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,559
I said cell phone or for cable companies

1101
00:55:14,599 --> 00:55:18,799
that you still get the charge for that

1102
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:21,680
so for the charge for the infrastructure

1103
00:55:18,799 --> 00:55:23,839
that's there to make the delivery of

1104
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,720
electricity or water or whatever

1105
00:55:23,839 --> 00:55:27,240
possible I know sir but like if I'm not

1106
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:29,799
using anything and everything's

1107
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:31,240
disconnected what's the current charge

1108
00:55:29,799 --> 00:55:32,680
that I'm getting paid that I'm getting

1109
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:34,720
charged for the infrastructure if you're

1110
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,200
saying that currently everything's just

1111
00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:38,799
directly connected what part of what

1112
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,760
part of the 36 cents per kilowatt hour

1113
00:55:38,799 --> 00:55:43,200
is being charged for the Kil especially

1114
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,920
if I'm there's zero kilowatt hours that

1115
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,880
I'm using I don't want to misspeak I

1116
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,960
don't want to give you the wrong

1117
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:50,839
information but I would say I'm going to

1118
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:54,000
and Dian correct me if I'm wrong I

1119
00:55:50,839 --> 00:55:56,440
believe that um about I believe it's

1120
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:58,799
about 70% is has to do with more of the

1121
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:01,359
infrastructure is what you're paying for

1122
00:55:58,799 --> 00:56:03,319
okay so if it's correlated to then I

1123
00:56:01,359 --> 00:56:05,440
shouldn't be paying anything so if I

1124
00:56:03,319 --> 00:56:07,760
have everything disconnected as is I

1125
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,799
shouldn't be paying anything right now

1126
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:13,599
and that's not true so my concern is

1127
00:56:09,799 --> 00:56:15,640
that um so for the residents so you can

1128
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:18,119
understand my thinking is what's the

1129
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:20,480
current rate for

1130
00:56:18,119 --> 00:56:21,799
usage and now that we're move the

1131
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,640
proposal says that it's going to be like

1132
00:56:21,799 --> 00:56:27,920
50 bucks that we're going to have for a

1133
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:31,039
fixed infrastructure charge is that uh

1134
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:34,119
usage rate going to be the same or is it

1135
00:56:31,039 --> 00:56:36,640
going to decrease the usage rate yes the

1136
00:56:34,119 --> 00:56:38,440
usage rate will decrease by 25% the

1137
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:41,079
cents per kilowatt hour will decrease by

1138
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:43,000
25% that's what we're planning to do

1139
00:56:41,079 --> 00:56:44,880
yeah the math doesn't seem to be uh

1140
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,480
really providing for much savings on the

1141
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:49,839
contrary I think it might be an increase

1142
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:51,520
with that uh $50 that you're uh that you

1143
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:53,680
guys are proposing but it it doesn't

1144
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,119
matter we'll just take a look at it

1145
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,440
certainly um and uh if we need you to

1146
00:56:56,119 --> 00:56:59,680
come back for any more questions we'll

1147
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:03,880
bring you back certainly I and I I agree

1148
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:06,160
for some people it will um for other um

1149
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,200
for customers who use more and more

1150
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:11,559
electricity it will over time it will

1151
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:13,799
become more beneficial to them okay I'm

1152
00:57:11,559 --> 00:57:15,559
sorry did I miss anything ma'am go ahead

1153
00:57:13,799 --> 00:57:17,119
oh sorry I just I just want to point

1154
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:18,839
people to some resources on the screen

1155
00:57:17,119 --> 00:57:21,680
for more information that's all but

1156
00:57:18,839 --> 00:57:24,520
thank you very much to the chair I think

1157
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:26,280
I understand what you're trying to say I

1158
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:30,119
think you're saying he's saying that the

1159
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:32,760
standard rate is $51 no matter what and

1160
00:57:30,119 --> 00:57:36,079
you're saying that if you don't use your

1161
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:38,960
services is zero down is zero dollars it

1162
00:57:36,079 --> 00:57:42,200
should be zero dollar but you would pay

1163
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:45,200
$51 because it's the standard rate is

1164
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:48,160
that what you were okay yes and that

1165
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:51,839
money and those um charges would be for

1166
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:53,160
um maintaining the poles the wires the

1167
00:57:51,839 --> 00:57:54,799
everything that makes it possible to

1168
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,720
deliver electricity as well as the cust

1169
00:57:54,799 --> 00:57:59,839
customer service aspect so it's it would

1170
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:04,799
be in his instance it would be

1171
00:57:59,839 --> 00:58:08,599
$51 plus if he used any

1172
00:58:04,799 --> 00:58:11,640
usage but if he doesn't use any usage

1173
00:58:08,599 --> 00:58:11,640
it's just a standard

1174
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:15,559
51 yes that's what's being

1175
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:23,480
proposed so typically the people that

1176
00:58:19,559 --> 00:58:27,359
are not using their energy like

1177
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:31,599
councilwoman uh Mar protim Rees she

1178
00:58:27,359 --> 00:58:32,760
would be paying the the $51 even though

1179
00:58:31,599 --> 00:58:35,520
she doesn't

1180
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,599
use Services she would not benefit as

1181
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,240
much as others she would benefit so

1182
00:58:37,599 --> 00:58:42,400
neither one of you would benefit in

1183
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,160
contrast now this is not Hawthorn at all

1184
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,240
and so it may not be of your interest

1185
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,440
but uh customers who live in the Inland

1186
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,039
Empire who have to use their air

1187
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,880
conditioning throughout much more of the

1188
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:53,720
year than the hot season it would

1189
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:56,039
benefit them as well and also as I said

1190
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:58,200
customers who are interested Ed in using

1191
00:58:56,039 --> 00:59:00,960
more electrification in vehicles in

1192
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:02,440
electric heat pumps Etc so but yes there

1193
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,039
are definitely people who won't benefit

1194
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:07,039
in in the near term I'm not going to

1195
00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:10,039
deny that can I can I ask one last

1196
00:59:07,039 --> 00:59:13,039
question um can I just

1197
00:59:10,039 --> 00:59:14,799
finish very simple mathematics uh

1198
00:59:13,039 --> 00:59:17,599
equation here you guys will see what I'm

1199
00:59:14,799 --> 00:59:21,000
talking about I pay $100 right now for

1200
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:23,480
my uh electricity bill let's say and

1201
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,240
that's the current usage charge all

1202
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,039
right gentleman says that it's going to

1203
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,520
De the usage rate is going to decrease

1204
00:59:27,039 --> 00:59:32,280
by

1205
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,520
25% right so I'm going to be paying $75

1206
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:39,119
but on top of that I have to pay

1207
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:41,119
$50 for the uh the infrastructure rate

1208
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:43,559
so instead of paying a 100 bucks I'm

1209
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:45,440
going to be paying 125 that's actual

1210
00:59:43,559 --> 00:59:47,799
increase for the average resident at

1211
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,280
least people that I know of 25 bucks so

1212
00:59:47,799 --> 00:59:52,359
there's just no decrease there simple

1213
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:57,160
math right go

1214
00:59:52,359 --> 01:00:01,119
ahead I just wanted to ask real quickly

1215
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:04,039
um with the increases that are um

1216
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:05,240
proposed what is going to be done uh or

1217
01:00:04,039 --> 01:00:07,280
what is going to be what is it going to

1218
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,839
be used for is it for

1219
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:13,280
additional um perhaps

1220
01:00:09,839 --> 01:00:15,440
underground uh utilities um

1221
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,000
infrastructure uh new

1222
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:21,359
repairs

1223
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:23,440
um investor benefits uh H how is the

1224
01:00:21,359 --> 01:00:25,599
money going to be used that money is not

1225
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:28,000
um that additional money is not going to

1226
01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:30,200
be generating any more re any more

1227
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,839
profit so this is not going to uh

1228
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:35,760
investors okay the the bill is

1229
01:00:32,839 --> 01:00:37,720
structured so this all has to do with uh

1230
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,680
money that's going to be covering the

1231
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,960
costs of of operations and that is

1232
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,839
infrastructure and that is people who

1233
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,319
come out and make repairs and who do the

1234
01:00:44,839 --> 01:00:48,200
maintenance and the people who answer

1235
01:00:46,319 --> 01:00:49,760
the phones and print the bills and and

1236
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:53,319
all that and all that work all the work

1237
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:57,079
that goes to um providing the electric

1238
01:00:53,319 --> 01:00:59,079
service that's that's what it's for yeah

1239
01:00:57,079 --> 01:01:00,440
all right thank you sir um if you could

1240
01:00:59,079 --> 01:01:02,200

February 15

1469
01:10:36,480 --> 01:10:40,920
2024 I also want to take this moment

1470
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:43,679
since I have a few more minutes or

1471
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:47,159
seconds to thank the chief of police for

1472
01:10:43,679 --> 01:10:49,480
letting us use uh sergeant salana and

1473
01:10:47,159 --> 01:10:52,600
I'd also like to thank the city manager

1474
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:55,120
for letting us have Erica lampin she's

1475
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:58,400
definitely an asset to our team both of

1476
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:59,679
them are so thank you ma'am real quick

1477
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,280
what's your target how many banners do

1478
01:10:59,679 --> 01:11:04,239
you want to get so you're waiting for

1479
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:06,280
applicants to equal a total of how many

1480
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:07,960
um there is no limit on how many we can

1481
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:10,320
do it just depends upon how many flag

1482
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,520
poles we have which we have a lot so I I

1483
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,920
have a feeling we're going to have far

1484
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:17,320
more flag poles this year than we do um

1485
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:20,040
veterans that step forward but there is

1486
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:22,640
no limit maybe we could choose a segment

1487
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:24,280
of hawthor Boulevard to do it and uh

1488
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:27,600
just figure out how many flag polls you

1489
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:30,040
have and then uh if you need to wait

1490
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:32,040
till you get that number of of

1491
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,840
applicants then that's when you submit

1492
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,560
that so you don't so you can order in

1493
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:38,800
bulk and one hit yeah the only challenge

1494
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:41,920
is the printer okay if we want them up

1495
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:45,400
in time okay ma'am thank you thank you

1496
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,400
thank you for your service thank

1497
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:50,040

1498
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,560
Migo

1499
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:03,199
hello everyone uh Happy New Year hope

1500
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:07,080
you all had a good

1501
01:12:03,199 --> 01:12:09,880
Christmas uh on December 12th U 2023 the

1502
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:12,920
haon city council had presentation by

1503
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:14,880
office Untitled about the Civic Center

1504
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,280
over the past uh month I spoke with

1505
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,480
residents business owners and other

1506
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,800
people about

1507
01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:22,960
it our viws range from Curious to dismay

1508
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,239
on the proposal for the new city hall in

1509
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,960
hathor

1510
01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:27,840
they questioned the need and the cost

1511
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:30,280
for what is essentially a second City

1512
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:33,360
Hall that will be connected to the ex

1513
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:35,159
existing one by an elevated walkway the

1514
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:38,120
object to the overall design of the

1515
01:12:35,159 --> 01:12:40,920
building especially the idea of a

1516
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,600
council chamber being on the third floor

1517
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:45,880
instead of having two structures it

1518
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:47,840
makes sense to add extra floors to

1519
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:50,360
either add extra floors uh on the

1520
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:54,560
existing City Hall which has the council

1521
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:58,040
chamber on the first floor ideally

1522
01:12:54,560 --> 01:13:00,840
the new city hall would actually uh be

1523
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:03,960
located along Hawthorne Boulevard uh

1524
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:06,600
fronting along the boulevard itself uh

1525
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:09,679
that will give it a prominent stature it

1526
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:12,679
would be constructed on parking lot as

1527
01:13:09,679 --> 01:13:15,199
adjacent to the Bank of America in front

1528
01:13:12,679 --> 01:13:17,400
there would be a uh of the city hall

1529
01:13:15,199 --> 01:13:19,960
that is a water fountain and a clock

1530
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:22,120
tower as a result the entire parking lot

1531
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,920
in the Civic Center must be opened up to

1532
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:26,639
the customers of Bank of America

1533
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:29,880
uh which is an important Financial

1534
01:13:26,639 --> 01:13:32,520
entity for people of Haw and the region

1535
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:35,040
obviously parking structures uh above

1536
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:37,800
ground need to be built in the Civic

1537
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:40,880
Center to accommodate the people hoffin

1538
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:43,000
City Hall Bank America and new park in

1539
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:45,760
the downtown

1540
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,600
area uh the proposal for an underground

1541
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:50,440
parking structure on the North End of

1542
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:52,520
the city lot is a terrible idea for many

1543
01:13:50,440 --> 01:13:54,800
reasons uh with an above ground

1544
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:57,159
structure the South facing

1545
01:13:54,800 --> 01:14:00,360
part uh of the structure could serve as

1546
01:13:57,159 --> 01:14:02,960
a backdrop for showing movies

1547
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:05,560
Outdoors 26 street is an important

1548
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:08,159
roadway in the Civic Center it must

1549
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:11,040
remain a two-way street for convenience

1550
01:14:08,159 --> 01:14:14,199
of Vehicle drivers and efficient flow of

1551
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:17,239
vehicle traffic further 126th Street

1552
01:14:14,199 --> 01:14:19,440
between hon Boulevard and Birch Avenue

1553
01:14:17,239 --> 01:14:22,120
uh needs to be converted into an actual

1554
01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:24,679
street with sidewalks lamp poost trees

1555
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:28,040
and so forth in regards to the Bank of

1556
01:14:24,679 --> 01:14:30,600
America the building uh which would

1557
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:34,800
still remain but it would uh actually

1558
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:37,280
need architectural face lift uh to

1559
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:40,400
improve its looks and it would also

1560
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:42,199
include windows installed on the sides

1561
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,920
that will uh as I said improve the

1562
01:14:42,199 --> 01:14:48,000
appearance and function of the structure

1563
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:50,000
it has been suggested that retail Cafe

1564
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:52,960
public hall be placed in the Civic

1565
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Center instead a revitalized mall in the

1566
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:58,560
downtown town area that is named or that

1567
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,360
should be named Ha Renaissance

1568
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:05,400
Plaza uh ha denoted in the city

1569
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:07,159
Renaissance rebirth renewal and Plaza uh

1570
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:09,239
would be a perfect location for retail

1571
01:15:07,159 --> 01:15:11,600
stores restaurants entertainment venues

1572
01:15:09,239 --> 01:15:14,159
community events SpaceX Welcome Center

1573
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:16,600
Tesla dealership and so on so let us

1574
01:15:14,159 --> 01:15:18,679
work together to make it become a

1575
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:22,199
reality so that hon can be that shining

1576
01:15:18,679 --> 01:15:27,840

last meeting that was held on it the

1594
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:24,199
program was initiated back in February

1595
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,520
of

1596
01:16:24,199 --> 01:16:30,480

1597
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:33,639
uh approvals of The

1598
01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:37,000
Proposal um stating that this was a

1599
01:16:33,639 --> 01:16:39,040
service um type of Grant but when the

1600
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:42,159
grant was advertised it was advertised

1601
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:44,320
as money I have copies if I can pass

1602
01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:44,320

1603
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:56,280
along

1604
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:59,679
so through I went back um after

1605
01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:01,400
reviewing the November 14th meeting I

1606
01:16:59,679 --> 01:17:05,800
went back all the way to the beginning

1607
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:08,719
of February and the proposal was for

1608
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:13,800
services but somewhere around the line

1609
01:17:08,719 --> 01:17:17,840
it went from services to Grant to um the

1610
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:21,080
one that I applied for was the employee

1611
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,840
retention um and at the end it was just

1612
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:25,400
uh

1613
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:28,639
training um I included the advertising

1614
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:31,360
that we saw as business owners which was

1615
01:17:28,639 --> 01:17:33,960
English and Spanish that would be page

1616
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:36,880
two and it clearly says especially in

1617
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:40,560
Spanish one it clearly says

1618
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:42,840
5,000 uh to businesses that qualify as

1619
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:47,320
dollars there is nothing in there that

1620
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:50,080
says Services I also included on page

1621
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:53,760
three one of the Flyers that was in the

1622
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:56,960
website for restaurants they also so had

1623
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:59,920
a $5,000 Grant but they specifically

1624
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:03,280
stated uh Kitchen Equipment Technology

1625
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:05,760
upgrades employee training bonuses unfor

1626
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:08,719
hardships um I also

1627
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:13,840
included uh I'm sorry I don't publicly

1628
01:18:08,719 --> 01:18:16,320
speak the proposed um budget of the $1

1629
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:20,199
million that was allocated from the $32

1630
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:24,600
million that was received from the co

1631
01:18:20,199 --> 01:18:25,880
money and I included the breakdown of

1632
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,920
that $1

1633
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:30,480
million okay um you guys obviously have

1634
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:34,040
seen this because you guys obviously

1635
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:37,400
approved that but

1636
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:41,120
my what I would like would be to figure

1637
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:43,679
out or find out why to the public was it

1638
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:46,760
addressed as a grant of

1639
01:18:43,679 --> 01:18:48,480
dollars and within the city meetings it

1640
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:51,000
was

1641
01:18:48,480 --> 01:18:53,600
Services if we do not come to the city

1642
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:59,199
meetings or we don't see see them on the

1643
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:59,199
web then we're not informed so

1644
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:04,800
we're counting on what's presented to us

1645
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:07,400
as the public on the website and on the

1646
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:10,560
Flyers that were all over the city to be

1647
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:13,239
what is fact so I would just for like

1648
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:15,800
for the city council city manager to

1649
01:19:13,239 --> 01:19:20,080
kind of investigate and maybe rectify

1650
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:22,000
the uh the outcome of this thank you uh

1651
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,360
Mr city manager can you provide her the

1652
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,360

1654
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:30,239
this um giving me direction to study

1655
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,080

planning the uh meetings with the public

1699
01:21:29,639 --> 01:21:36,880

they buy the properties if they want to

1711
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,440

proem city council members and City

1722
01:22:33,719 --> 01:22:38,199
staff and neighbors um I would like to

1723
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,960
bring your attention to some legislation

1724
01:22:38,199 --> 01:22:42,719
that is pending in Congress right now

1725
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:45,440
that I am asking for your support on

1726
01:22:42,719 --> 01:22:48,800
right now um in the 118th Congress and

1727
01:22:45,440 --> 01:22:51,880
this is federal not not State um there

1728
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:54,360
is a Senate bill number 414 and the

1729
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:57,440
house bill is HR

1730
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:59,719
1083 and I have cop copies for you of

1731
01:22:57,440 --> 01:23:01,560
some of this basically what this comes

1732
01:22:59,719 --> 01:23:04,400
down to is a deals with dependence

1733
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:07,440
indemnity compensation so starting after

1734
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:10,760
the Revolutionary War the surviving

1735
01:23:07,440 --> 01:23:13,000
spouses of veterans who died in battle

1736
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:16,679
or as a result of their injuries or

1737
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,960
illnesses um acquired during battle um

1738
01:23:16,679 --> 01:23:20,520
they have been getting what's called

1739
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:24,040
diic and is Comfortably known as

1740
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:26,679
survivors benefits up until

1741
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:28,960
1993 those survivor benefits were

1742
01:23:26,679 --> 01:23:30,679
predicated on the rank of the veteran

1743
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:33,199
who passed away so in other words if you

1744
01:23:30,679 --> 01:23:35,840
were a general your surviving spouse got

1745
01:23:33,199 --> 01:23:37,880
a higher percentage of what your pay had

1746
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:41,080
been than if you were a private for

1747
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:43,520
example after 1993 they did a change to

1748
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:47,679
that and they have it as a flat rate so

1749
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:50,520
right now if a veteran um passes away uh

1750
01:23:47,679 --> 01:23:52,199
from a service connected disability that

1751
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:55,560
they have a service connected disability

1752
01:23:52,199 --> 01:23:58,560
rate in for or they have been totally

1753
01:23:55,560 --> 01:24:03,639
and completely disabled for 10

1754
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:05,840
years the current payment um is 44% of

1755
01:24:03,639 --> 01:24:09,880
what their disability payment had been

1756
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:11,880
so in 199 or excuse me in 2023 that flat

1757
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:14,800
Indemnity payment um where the

1758
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:17,520
disability payment had been 36

1759
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:20,120
2195 if that veteran passes away and

1760
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:21,840
their spouse qualifies because there are

1761
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:25,800
conditions for it to get Survivor

1762
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,800
benefit they would get a total of

1763
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:33,280
$1,627 which obviously um won't even pay

1764
01:24:29,679 --> 01:24:36,199
the rent at this point and so what this

1765
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:38,520
bill is doing is trying to increase the

1766
01:24:36,199 --> 01:24:41,159
survivor benefits so it is the same

1767
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,719
percentage as for all other federal

1768
01:24:41,159 --> 01:24:46,400
employees so the only difference is that

1769
01:24:43,719 --> 01:24:48,760
right now veteran surviving spouses if

1770
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:51,679
they meet all of the qualifications are

1771
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,920
getting 43% of what the veterans

1772
01:24:51,679 --> 01:24:56,800
disability pay pay it was where a

1773
01:24:53,920 --> 01:25:00,119
federal employee in any other capacity

1774
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:03,760
other than a military capacity gets

1775
01:25:00,119 --> 01:25:05,880
55% so basically this bill would do two

1776
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:08,760
different things it would increase it so

1777
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:11,800
that the base rate is the same

1778
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:13,679
55% and then also subject to Cola as all

1779
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:16,920
of these are and the other thing it

1780
01:25:13,679 --> 01:25:20,119
would do is if your veteran is currently

1781
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:22,520
100% service connected for 10 years or

1782
01:25:20,119 --> 01:25:24,679
more they can pass away from from

1783
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:27,080
anything and the surviving spouse if

1784
01:25:24,679 --> 01:25:29,480
they know about it and apply may be

1785
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,159
granted diic one of the other things

1786
01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:34,639
that this bill would do is it would

1787
01:25:31,159 --> 01:25:36,440
lower that threshold to five years or

1788
01:25:34,639 --> 01:25:38,800
more and it would be a sliding scale up

1789
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:40,280
to 10 years so the reason I'm bringing

1790
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,159
this up right now I have a copy of the

1791
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:44,639
bill and everything there's going

1792
01:25:42,159 --> 01:25:46,480

01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:27,320
for me I don't

1869
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:29,880
know council

1870
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:32,199
member uh city manager could you help me

1871
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:34,040
understand resolution 5 I have a general

1872
01:29:32,199 --> 01:29:37,280
idea what it is but I just wanted to

1873
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:38,800
make sure I was clear so if I may um

1874
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:41,639
this affects this from the city

1875
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:43,800
attorney's office um basically what

1876
01:29:41,639 --> 01:29:46,000
happened is we had an assistant City

1877
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:48,320
attorney that is in charge of all the

1878
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:50,760
civil litigation matters she also

1879
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:53,119
handles uh Complex public records

1880
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:55,520
requests she announced her retirement

1881
01:29:53,119 --> 01:29:58,679
she was going to set her retirement date

1882
01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:00,360
at the end of January but she visited

1883
01:29:58,679 --> 01:30:02,119
you know before the

1884
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,760
retirees actually go through the

1885
01:30:02,119 --> 01:30:06,080
retirement they have make an appointment

1886
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:08,840
with Cal Pur in city of Glendale and

1887
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:10,280
they give advice and the advice that she

1888
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:12,719
was given and I don't know the details

1889
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:16,520
of it was that she should retire by end

1890
01:30:12,719 --> 01:30:19,320
of the year now um that this is this

1891
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:21,639
year or or last year last year okay so

1892
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:24,080
um and there is a rule with Cal Purge

1893
01:30:21,639 --> 01:30:26,760
that once you retire you cannot do any

1894
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:28,600
work with the city for 180 days for 6

1895
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:30,159
months you have to sit out you know they

1896
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:33,159
have rulle that you could work part time

1897
01:30:30,159 --> 01:30:36,840
up to 900 some hours a year but you

1898
01:30:33,159 --> 01:30:39,800
can't do anything for 180 days um the

1899
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:42,760
problem is that the the recruitment to

1900
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:44,920
replace her is going to take some time

1901
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:48,400
so uh this is kind of a unique

1902
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:52,080
situations where if a council approves

1903
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:53,600
by resolution we can bypass that 180

1904
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:56,119
days waiting period so she could

1905
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:59,440
continue to work part-time and help with

1906
01:30:56,119 --> 01:31:03,159
the city until her replacement is hired

1907
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:04,880
does that apply to part would would that

1908
01:31:03,159 --> 01:31:06,679
be as an employee or as an independent

1909
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,560
contractor does it matter it's a

1910
01:31:06,679 --> 01:31:11,360
part-time employee I don't think it can

1911
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:13,360
be as a contract attorney it's it's uh

1912
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,679
what she told me was that it has to be a

1913
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:17,000
part-time

1914
01:31:14,679 --> 01:31:18,280
employee uh you're saying she wouldn't

1915
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:20,159
be able to work with the city as a as an

1916
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:21,840
independent contractor as a contractor I

1917
01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:24,199
don't think she can I think it has to be

1918
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:26,400
as a part-time employee Calpers has some

1919
01:31:24,199 --> 01:31:29,960
unique rules on that I could look into

1920
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:32,800
further but um she basically she told me

1921
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:36,400
that she will do it as a part-time

1922
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:39,520
employee the the problem with a contract

1923
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:41,719
attorney is that they're required to get

1924
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:43,920
um business license and I can't there

1925
01:31:41,719 --> 01:31:46,000
cannot be any supervision it has to be

1926
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:48,600
completely

1927
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:51,199
independent versus versus part-time

1928
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:54,199
employee Works under the supervision of

1929
01:31:51,199 --> 01:31:56,000
the city of attorney uh okay got it and

1930
01:31:54,199 --> 01:31:57,639
is there let me I ask question is there

1931
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:01,239
a difference

1932
01:31:57,639 --> 01:32:03,800
in cost to the city hiring somebody as a

1933
01:32:01,239 --> 01:32:06,320
part-time employee versus an independent

1934
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:11,400
contractor um part-time employee gets

1935
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:14,360
some uh parttime uh benefits it's not

1936
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:18,080
equal as uh the full-time employees

1937
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:20,080
whereas independent contractors get zero

1938
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:22,280
any type of benefit they get so

1939
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:25,800
part-time employees get was it's called

1940
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:27,880
pars but um independent contractors do

1941
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:30,639
not get any benefits from the

1942
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:33,280
city is there a

1943
01:32:30,639 --> 01:32:37,159
um difference in liability between one

1944
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:38,440
versus the other to the city um no not

1945
01:32:37,159 --> 01:32:41,000
necessarily especially when we're

1946
01:32:38,440 --> 01:32:42,880
dealing with someone that's been

1947
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:45,840
handling her job

1948
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:49,280
for I think it's she's been working for

1949
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:50,600
about 17 years with the city well I'm

1950
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,920
just talking about just the different

1951
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:54,920
types of employment

1952
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:57,760
no there's no liability in terms of

1953
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:59,639
liability we have um we're self-insured

1954
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:01,320
through icma things of that nature I

1955
01:32:59,639 --> 01:33:03,760
don't know if that's what you're

1956
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:06,840
asking um I'm just just a question I'm

1957
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:11,480
not leading to anything in particular

1958
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:11,480
and and then is there

1959
01:33:11,639 --> 01:33:16,000
um

1960
01:33:14,159 --> 01:33:18,440
different

1961
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:21,639
um I guess rights to employment are

1962
01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:24,119
being able to ret you know being able to

1963
01:33:21,639 --> 01:33:26,000
trer dismiss uh a part-time employee

1964
01:33:24,119 --> 01:33:30,000
versus independent

1965
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:32,320
contractor no they um I think part-time

1966
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:35,760
employees may be covered under different

1967
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:37,639
mou but she she would not as an attorney

1968
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:39,840
she would not be a become a civil

1969
01:33:37,639 --> 01:33:42,679
servant that's what you're asking it's

1970
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:45,000
same as at will as any other attorneys

1971
01:33:42,679 --> 01:33:47,440
so the difference between the two is one

1972
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:50,960
she had to get a a business

1973
01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:52,840
license uh to work as a or contract

1974
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,960
attorney the other hand she wouldn't

1975
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,719
have to get a business license and she

1976
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:58,119
would also get uh extra a little bit of

1977
01:33:56,719 --> 01:34:02,159
extra money going into a different

1978
01:33:58,119 --> 01:34:05,920
pension um that's correct that is

1979
01:34:02,159 --> 01:34:08,040
correct to the chair so my questions are

1980
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:12,000
this

1981
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:13,480
um she just retired in December M she

1982
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:15,159
knew she was going to be retired in

1983
01:34:13,480 --> 01:34:17,320
December she knew she was going to be

1984
01:34:15,159 --> 01:34:18,960
retiring in December if there was a

1985
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:20,800
discussion in advance of knowing that

1986
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,440
she was going to retire why didn't we

1987
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:25,800
start doing the recruitment for a new

1988
01:34:22,440 --> 01:34:28,000
person at that time so as soon as she

1989
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:30,639
announced her retirement and she gave

1990
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,920
the initial date of end of January we

1991
01:34:30,639 --> 01:34:35,159
started

1992
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:38,280
recruitment um we did that

1993
01:34:35,159 --> 01:34:41,080
immediately uh but after visiting

1994
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:43,400
Cal's office she came back and said she

1995
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:45,360
would have to retire earlier based on

1996
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:47,600
their recommendation and I don't know

1997
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:49,080
exactly what the details of yeah what

1998
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,040
was the far advanced notice that she

1999
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,520
provided you in your office that she's

2000
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:55,800
going to be re

2001
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:57,760
that must have been close to two

2002
01:34:55,800 --> 01:35:00,480
months two months that she was going to

2003
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:03,719
be retiring in December and end of

2004
01:35:00,480 --> 01:35:06,440
January yeah so she I think she I don't

2005
01:35:03,719 --> 01:35:08,920
know the exact date but she let me know

2006
01:35:06,440 --> 01:35:11,040
that she was going to retire in December

2007
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:12,320
yeah I know that it normally takes about

2008
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:13,840
three months and you have to fall within

2009
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:15,840
the age range so that you could be able

2010
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:19,199
to retire but in this case she's worked

2011
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:22,119
for the city nearly what 20 years about

2012
01:35:19,199 --> 01:35:24,800
17 years I okay and then at a high

2013
01:35:22,119 --> 01:35:27,320
salary I'm I'm sure retired with great

2014
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:31,719
benefits I I would be more willing to

2015
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:35,880
see an employee come on board that's

2016
01:35:31,719 --> 01:35:37,639
probably new to the city um I understand

2017
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:39,320
the importance however there is an

2018
01:35:37,639 --> 01:35:40,440
advance here notice that should have

2019
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,360
been provided so that we could have

2020
01:35:40,440 --> 01:35:45,000
already been making those recruitments

2021
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:48,159
and are we recruiting now we are how

2022
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:50,400
long have you been recruiting um that's

2023
01:35:48,159 --> 01:35:53,400
a question for HR I don't know if she's

2024
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:53,400
here

2025
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:03,520
we have been we got noticed December 7th

2026
01:36:01,639 --> 01:36:08,080
I believe that she was going to be

2027
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:10,000
retiring January uh 26 and then after

2028
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:13,679
her meeting with calp she came back and

2029
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:16,480
changed the date to December 30th um her

2030
01:36:13,679 --> 01:36:18,800
meeting um was maybe the second or third

2031
01:36:16,480 --> 01:36:22,040
right before we went on

2032
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:25,159
vacation and um I am recruiting and the

2033
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:28,880
recruitment started also right before we

2034
01:36:25,159 --> 01:36:32,960
left so we can't do a 1099 um contract

2035
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:35,840
employee can't look to another um

2036
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:37,880
attorney's office for part-time person

2037
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:39,960
in all the attorneys that you work with

2038
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,360
I'm sure you have someone in there that

2039
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:43,880
we could find

2040
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:47,480
part-time um the attorneys that we work

2041
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:50,760
with on the Civil side are all law firms

2042
01:36:47,480 --> 01:36:54,320
and it would be a lot more costly than

2043
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:58,719
this yeah we

2044
01:36:54,320 --> 01:37:01,159
can't um we actually were short-handed

2045
01:36:58,719 --> 01:37:04,280
in the criminal prosecution side as well

2046
01:37:01,159 --> 01:37:06,400
as civil right now so I know there's a

2047
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:09,480
revolving door policy that the council

2048
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:13,280
did uh several years back which said

2049
01:37:09,480 --> 01:37:17,320
basically says that if an employee um um

2050
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:19,400
leaves they're not um back until after

2051
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:22,199
six months right so you're basically

2052
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:25,600
saying you're waving

2053
01:37:22,199 --> 01:37:28,639
the the six month to provide this one

2054
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:31,400
individual to come back correct because

2055
01:37:28,639 --> 01:37:34,159
um that that's the rule the city had

2056
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,840
policy that City had is following the uh

2057
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:39,119
the Cal Pur Rule and the government code

2058
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:42,280
um this they do make an exception

2059
01:37:39,119 --> 01:37:45,280
through resolution it's because she's

2060
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:46,920
been handling these multiple cases and

2061
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:49,679
it's an ongoing case these are all

2062
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:51,760
pending cases so she's familiar with

2063
01:37:49,679 --> 01:37:54,199
these cases that she's been working on I

2064
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:55,639
just don't understand why she retired if

2065
01:37:54,199 --> 01:37:57,159
I mean there's obviously communication

2066
01:37:55,639 --> 01:37:59,239
happening in your office because you're

2067
01:37:57,159 --> 01:38:00,599
telling me now there's an urgency and

2068
01:37:59,239 --> 01:38:03,440
that she's the only person that could do

2069
01:38:00,599 --> 01:38:04,719
it but what happened to our cross

2070
01:38:03,440 --> 01:38:07,320
training and people that supposed to

2071
01:38:04,719 --> 01:38:09,760
know uh you know all aspects especially

2072
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:13,040
for the city attorney's office I would

2073
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:15,159
be I would rather see a 1099 contract

2074
01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:17,719
employee versus changing the whole

2075
01:38:15,159 --> 01:38:19,560
ordinance over one individual it's it's

2076
01:38:17,719 --> 01:38:20,719
just a resolution it's not a I

2077
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:24,400
understand but that's what you're asking

2078
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:26,800
it's for us to make a vote today to um

2079
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:29,480
provide preference to this one person

2080
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,480
that's correct

2081
01:38:31,080 --> 01:38:34,280

2082
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:45,280

2196
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:23,159

with a private

2198
01:44:23,159 --> 01:44:30,159
entity that um that's why we need to uh

2199
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:31,840
have the second reading when they will

2200
01:44:30,159 --> 01:44:36,360

me city manager uh I'd like to ask you

2262
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:49,000
for 10 um I think this is a great idea

2263
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:51,520
that we're finally doing this but I

2264
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:54,920
wanted to know how many

2265
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:57,480
people um will that include when we do

2266
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:59,440
this okay no problem that information I

2267
01:47:57,480 --> 01:48:01,520
don't have yet this is just approval for

2268
01:47:59,440 --> 01:48:03,599
the city manager this is under my

2269
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:06,440
approval Authority actually I brought it

2270
01:48:03,599 --> 01:48:07,960
to council for transparency uh what I'm

2271
01:48:06,440 --> 01:48:09,719
asking for permission is to file the

2272
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:11,760
paperwork with the county to start

2273
01:48:09,719 --> 01:48:13,880
negotiations with the county regarding

2274
01:48:11,760 --> 01:48:15,960
this area what I intend to do once we

2275
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:19,599
start negotiations is have a surveyor go

2276
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:21,199
out in the area and calculate the impact

2277
01:48:19,599 --> 01:48:23,960
that it would have to the city as far as

2278
01:48:21,199 --> 01:48:25,960
residents Public Safety and those items

2279
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:27,840
so this is very early in the stage this

2280
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:31,119
area too if you look at your map and

2281
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:34,119
your agenda is 76 anre Acres which

2282
01:48:31,119 --> 01:48:36,440
allows us to move forward without public

2283
01:48:34,119 --> 01:48:38,320
Community input from that area it's the

2284
01:48:36,440 --> 01:48:40,360
one of the only areas within the spears

2285
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:43,080
that we can do this to I think this

2286
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:45,639
would set us up to set a trend for other

2287
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:47,119
Incorporated areas to add to the city so

2288
01:48:45,639 --> 01:48:48,840
this is very early and I would like to

2289
01:48:47,119 --> 01:48:52,119
come back within 90 days to provide that

2290
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:54,639
information after I obtain a surveyor to

2291
01:48:52,119 --> 01:48:54,639
look into the

2292
01:48:55,119 --> 01:49:02,000
area

2293
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:02,000
uh just a real quick comment on my

2294
01:49:02,119 --> 01:49:07,599
end okay I

2295
01:49:04,639 --> 01:49:09,760
just uh that area right there is uh

2296
01:49:07,599 --> 01:49:12,320
single family residences majority is

2297
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:14,840
it's between khaw 132nd to

2298
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:17,480
135th I think it is and it's in the

2299
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:19,920
midst with of uh Monita Gardens which we

2300
01:49:17,480 --> 01:49:22,880
know is is not single family residence

2301
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:25,360
is high density a very high

2302
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:28,440
concentration of high density there so I

2303
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:30,440
hope that the council keeps in mind the

2304
01:49:28,440 --> 01:49:33,199
situation and that we try to preserve

2305
01:49:30,440 --> 01:49:34,920
that uh element there as much as

2306
01:49:33,199 --> 01:49:36,119
possible that's all and I'm willing to

2307
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,000
support this

2308
01:49:36,119 --> 01:49:40,800

01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:48,000
what is that incompass uh that's just a

2312
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:49,679

01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:52,599
county uh with the city attorney's

2314
01:49:49,679 --> 01:49:54,320

of Revenue that the county would lose we

2316
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:57,480

2317
01:49:55,920 --> 01:50:00,119

11 thank you mayor um just a real quick

2337
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:05,480
question because I I I I continuously

2338
01:51:03,639 --> 01:51:08,320
see County of Los Angeles County of Los

2339
01:51:05,480 --> 01:51:10,760
Angeles always providing uh for our

2340
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:13,000
jails and whatnot is there another

2341
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:15,960
entity that we could maybe perhaps look

2342
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:18,320
into that could provide lunches to those

2343
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:20,480
that are um inmates in our haam Police

2344
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:23,800
Department I mean is there has there

2345
01:51:20,480 --> 01:51:25,560
been a research of potential um

2346
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:27,679
commissaries or those alike that can

2347
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:30,320
provide a lunch

2348
01:51:27,679 --> 01:51:31,800
um weever done that uh council member

2349
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:33,679
there are other companies that are

2350
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:35,719
private entities that could potentially

2351
01:51:33,679 --> 01:51:40,679
provide the same service but for

2352
01:51:35,719 --> 01:51:42,599
purposes of uh continuity uh getting

2353
01:51:40,679 --> 01:51:45,119
those meals from the County of Los

2354
01:51:42,599 --> 01:51:47,360
Angeles satisfies a lot of potential

2355
01:51:45,119 --> 01:51:49,679
concerns for individual dietary

2356
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:51,520
restrictions that our inmate population

2357
01:51:49,679 --> 01:51:53,840
might

2358
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:56,560
experience so that's a that's a way for

2359
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:58,239
me to say like if we um have somebody

2360
01:51:56,560 --> 01:52:00,320
that is temporarily in custody at the

2361
01:51:58,239 --> 01:52:02,159
Hawthorne Police Department jail who has

2362
01:52:00,320 --> 01:52:04,440
a religious belief that has dietary

2363
01:52:02,159 --> 01:52:05,960
restrictions the County of Los Angeles

2364
01:52:04,440 --> 01:52:07,520
has pretty much every single one of

2365
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:08,719
those categories taken care of and we

2366
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:13,239
can just tell them that we need a

2367
01:52:08,719 --> 01:52:13,239
specified meal for a specified period of

2368
01:52:14,159 --> 01:52:19,159
days so there really isn't a choice it's

2369
01:52:16,599 --> 01:52:21,280
like we have to use them I I think that

2370
01:52:19,159 --> 01:52:23,880
this is by by far going to be the most

2371
01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:26,199
uh costeffective choice and the most

2372
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:29,480
convenient for our city

2373
01:52:26,199 --> 01:52:32,280
staff okay I'm sure that uh you know we

2374
01:52:29,480 --> 01:52:34,360
could we could potentially get um those

2375
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:37,159
same types of dietary restrictions taken

2376
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:38,440
into by going to uh a public restaurant

2377
01:52:37,159 --> 01:52:39,560
here in the city of Hawthorne but it is

2378
01:52:38,440 --> 01:52:41,679
certainly going to be at a more

2379
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:44,119
expensive cost and it will require more

2380
01:52:41,679 --> 01:52:48,119
extra staff hours to try and take care

2381
01:52:44,119 --> 01:52:48,119
of that okay thank you

2382
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,840

2468
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:25,719
and when he mentioned that he was uh the

2469
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:28,239
oldest of five kids and that he had to

2470
01:57:25,719 --> 01:57:31,719
volunteer in order to be able to

2471
01:57:28,239 --> 01:57:34,520

2472
01:57:31,719 --> 01:57:37,320
what it's done to a lot of our folks so

2473
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:41,040
being able to support that type of

2474
01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:44,360
program and see our kids um be able to

2475
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:47,000
play and it be affordable I'm really on

2476
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:48,719
board with that and I think they do uh

2477
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:53,440
really great things so I really look

2478
01:57:48,719 --> 01:57:55,280

01:58:21,119 --> 01:58:30,040
um and this program uh will assist the

2488
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:34,320

our uh business

2508
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:43,440
expo also um last night I had an

2509
01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:46,520
opportunity to attend the business

2510
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:49,520
connect uh which I encourage businesses

2511
01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:52,960
to go on to our website to attend um our

2512
01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:55,480
business connect but it was extremely

2513
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:56,920
informative um Greg from our planning

2514
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:59,360
department gave a

2515
01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:02,719
presentation and when I tell you I

2516
01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:09,000
learned so much within that time I was

2517
02:00:02,719 --> 02:00:12,520
extremely extremely um felt like a kid a

2518
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:15,560
5-year-old kid sponging everything and I

2519
02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:18,639
learned so much from him and it prompt

2520
02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:20,079
me to think about some of the things

2521
02:00:18,639 --> 02:00:24,360
that

2522
02:00:20,079 --> 02:00:28,480
we haven't done and so I would encourage

2523
02:00:24,360 --> 02:00:30,599
or I'm giving a directive to the city

2524
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:34,320
manager

2525
02:00:30,599 --> 02:00:39,639
to um

2526
02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:43,000
create and a a a process to update our

2527
02:00:39,639 --> 02:00:44,280
ordinances that focuses on our priority

2528
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:47,840
commercial

2529
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:50,119
districts to address our vacant

2530
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:52,040
storefronts um some of the things that

2531
02:00:50,119 --> 02:00:54,560
he talked about in his

2532
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:57,440
presentation um in 30 days if you could

2533
02:00:54,560 --> 02:01:00,040
come up with a plan of action and

2534
02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:03,920
identify those priority

2535
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:06,480
areas um to update our zoning

2536
02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:10,880
codes the second thing that I want to

2537
02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:14,239
talk about is the budget um as I was

2538
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:17,280
going through budgets of other

2539
02:01:14,239 --> 02:01:19,560
cities um and comparing it to ours one

2540
02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:23,320
of the things that I noticed is that we

2541
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:28,280
didn't have a budget message page in our

2542
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:32,520
budget and so I am asking moving forward

2543
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:36,920
if we can include a budget page message

2544
02:01:32,520 --> 02:01:38,840
in our budget so that it

2545
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:42,719
explains

2546
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:42,719

it is

2572
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:57,599
is

2573
02:02:52,440 --> 02:03:01,239
um uh few things though um trying to be

2574
02:02:57,599 --> 02:03:05,599
serious Mr city

2575
02:03:01,239 --> 02:03:08,320
manager um could you provide a report of

2576
02:03:05,599 --> 02:03:10,280
the mixtur development that's happening

2577
02:03:08,320 --> 02:03:12,119
in cover City

2578
02:03:10,280 --> 02:03:14,040
specifically um and you include any

2579
02:03:12,119 --> 02:03:17,719
other neighboring cities if you like and

2580
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:20,079
the feasibility of um that happening on

2581
02:03:17,719 --> 02:03:22,440
Hawthorne um maybe specifically focusing

2582
02:03:20,079 --> 02:03:24,719
on hathorne Boulevard or CAW Boulevard I

2583
02:03:22,440 --> 02:03:27,280
don't know if everybody's seen in city

2584
02:03:24,719 --> 02:03:30,360
of C City and their main boulevards they

2585
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:32,360
are doing a lot of mixed use development

2586
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:35,679
in their residential areas they keep it

2587
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:39,719
very residential but on the main th the

2588
02:03:35,679 --> 02:03:41,840
thorough fars boulevards they're they're

2589
02:03:39,719 --> 02:03:43,360
constructing a lot of new development a

2590
02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:44,719
lot of new mixu development so I'm just

2591
02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:46,040
curious to see if something like that

2592
02:03:44,719 --> 02:03:48,920
would make sense in the city of

2593
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:50,679
Hawthorne um I would also like to recom

2594
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:53,520
commend I don't know if we should put

2595
02:03:50,679 --> 02:03:55,199
this on a discussion uh action item or

2596
02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:58,119
whatever is most appropriate for the

2597
02:03:55,199 --> 02:04:00,280
council to discuss but um I would like

2598
02:03:58,119 --> 02:04:02,480
to have our

2599
02:04:00,280 --> 02:04:05,760
commissioners uh attend the commissioner

2600
02:04:02,480 --> 02:04:07,079
AC academy uh in Long Beach March 6

2601
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:09,920
through the 8th I think it's put

2602
02:04:07,079 --> 02:04:12,119
together by the California League of

2603
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:14,239
cities and uh I think that might be

2604
02:04:12,119 --> 02:04:15,719
something that are our new Commissioners

2605
02:04:14,239 --> 02:04:19,480
could benefit from and really being able

2606
02:04:15,719 --> 02:04:20,920
to understand the rle in and um you know

2607
02:04:19,480 --> 02:04:25,199
do a good job in our

2608
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:30,040
city uh Mr city manager I also like to

2609
02:04:25,199 --> 02:04:32,880
ask for some followup on um director of

2610
02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:35,760
gay I gave some time last year about

2611
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:38,000
ping the community uh about a potential

2612
02:04:35,760 --> 02:04:41,480
new Charter and

2613
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:43,840
what um what the community may be

2614
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:46,760
interested in seeing and and if you can

2615
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:48,360
kind of report back as to kind of um you

2616
02:04:46,760 --> 02:04:49,559
know how that research is gone and help

2617
02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:54,400
give us some guides us to what might

2618
02:04:49,559 --> 02:04:54,400
make sense to go to do next and

2619
02:04:54,599 --> 02:05:00,480
lastly if we can bring back to I don't

2620
02:04:58,280 --> 02:05:05,599
know if the right term is going to be an

2621
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:08,199
ordinance um to um adjust the city

2622
02:05:05,599 --> 02:05:12,239
council's compensation consistent with

2623
02:05:08,199 --> 02:05:15,320
the with Cola uh consistent with s SP

2624
02:05:12,239 --> 02:05:16,520
329 which is something that the governor

2625
02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:20,960
passed

2626
02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:25,280
recently um state wide so that elected

2627
02:05:20,960 --> 02:05:28,679
officials can um have their compensation

2628
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:31,639
keep up with inflation also uh a

2629
02:05:28,679 --> 02:05:34,880
ordinance that might also do the same

2630
02:05:31,639 --> 02:05:39,199
thing for the treasurer and the clerk as

2631
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:41,559

out for legislation whether state

federal otherwise we'll look into that

2665
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:19,360
I'd like to know more about it myself

2666
02:07:17,440 --> 02:07:21,199
and what exactly that means

2667
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:23,840
for our

2668
02:07:21,199 --> 02:07:28,159
veterans

2669
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:32,719
um I have a real concern with regards to

2670
02:07:28,159 --> 02:07:35,719
California Edison and their presentation

2671
02:07:32,719 --> 02:07:35,719
today

2672
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:40,920
um with regards to history here in the

2673
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:43,920
city of Hawthorne if you remember a few

2674
02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:46,000
years ago we became an aggregate city

2675
02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:49,280
which basically said that we want to be

2676
02:07:46,000 --> 02:07:51,119
able to uh procr energy energy

2677
02:07:49,280 --> 02:07:53,880
electricity for our residents here in

2678
02:07:51,119 --> 02:07:55,960
Hawthorne at a lower cost and when we

2679
02:07:53,880 --> 02:07:57,320
did that we became an aggregate in

2680
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:59,880
partnership with the County of Los

2681
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:02,840
Angeles where there's roughly 33 to

2682
02:07:59,880 --> 02:08:05,800
35 uh cities that are also partners with

2683
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:09,480
this with the county uh procur procuring

2684
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:12,639
lower energy whether it's 1% 2% 3% we're

2685
02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:15,639
still um you know in Partnership to

2686
02:08:12,639 --> 02:08:19,199
assure the same which is at lower cost

2687
02:08:15,639 --> 02:08:22,079
uh energy through procument um

2688
02:08:19,199 --> 02:08:24,280
the reason we did that is because many

2689
02:08:22,079 --> 02:08:29,880
residents and many communities and

2690
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:31,239
cities um know that California Edison uh

2691
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:34,599
other uh

2692
02:08:31,239 --> 02:08:36,199
PGE uh San Diego GE all these other

2693
02:08:34,599 --> 02:08:38,639
utilities are

2694
02:08:36,199 --> 02:08:43,040
investor um

2695
02:08:38,639 --> 02:08:46,040
owned and all these utilities um have

2696
02:08:43,040 --> 02:08:50,400
investors that are paid

2697
02:08:46,040 --> 02:08:53,719
um basically uh

2698
02:08:50,400 --> 02:08:57,719
we pay them right we pay those uh

2699
02:08:53,719 --> 02:09:02,280
investors and um we do this on a regular

2700
02:08:57,719 --> 02:09:04,800
basis and unlike California uh excuse me

2701
02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:07,000
unlike uh clean power Alliance it's a

2702
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:10,000
nonprofit organization it's a nonprofit

2703
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:11,760
organization it's not investor to own

2704
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:14,239
and it's a nonprofit organization that

2705
02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:16,000
provides back its revenues it's

2706
02:09:14,239 --> 02:09:18,440
generating revenues or whatnot back to

2707
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:20,440
the community whether it be at a lower

2708
02:09:18,440 --> 02:09:23,440
rate whether it be Investments whether

2709
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:25,800
it be the same uh lower costs for those

2710
02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:28,400
that have a need special needs uh

2711
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:31,960
seniors Etc and while the time that I

2712
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:34,840
sat on the board um I was charged was

2713
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:36,360
with looking at how uh we could benefit

2714
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:38,480
the community Through additional

2715
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:40,800
Investments and more importantly uh

2716
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:43,639
assuring that the community of Hawthorne

2717
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:47,119
was procuring energy at a lower cost so

2718
02:09:43,639 --> 02:09:50,199
having said that um it sounds like we

2719
02:09:47,119 --> 02:09:53,079
are now going to to be uh leveraged an

2720
02:09:50,199 --> 02:09:56,400
additional uh charge I know tonight they

2721
02:09:53,079 --> 02:09:58,840
were saying $50 $51 I don't remember

2722
02:09:56,400 --> 02:10:02,119
exactly but I'm reading and it's being

2723
02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:05,520
proposed uh Southern California um

2724
02:10:02,119 --> 02:10:08,400
provide a $49 charge so already there's

2725
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:12,400
you know discrepancies whether it's 49

2726
02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:15,320
whether it's 50 or 51 so my whole effort

2727
02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:17,239
is basically to assure the community the

2728
02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:20,199
city the residents of Hawthorne that pay

2729
02:10:17,239 --> 02:10:24,559
utilities and everything's uh very high

2730
02:10:20,199 --> 02:10:26,400
these days including gas um that we know

2731
02:10:24,559 --> 02:10:30,599
exactly what's happening here and we

2732
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:33,679
truly understand um where our money is

2733
02:10:30,599 --> 02:10:37,400
going in spite of how they might say

2734
02:10:33,679 --> 02:10:40,199
that we will pay less if we use less

2735
02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:42,320
well again I don't use any and I'm

2736
02:10:40,199 --> 02:10:44,960
hardly home because I'm work most of the

2737
02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:48,000
time and I don't turn anything on at

2738
02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:49,320
night okay so I'm still having to pay a

2739
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:53,599
big a big

2740
02:10:49,320 --> 02:10:58,280
bill um I'm concerned because it's being

2741
02:10:53,599 --> 02:11:01,520
proposed and the puc it will pretty much

2742
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:05,000
have a choice to be made come

2743
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:07,440
July so I had made a uh proposal to the

2744
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:09,280
council back in December or November if

2745
02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:11,559
I remember correctly just basically

2746
02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:14,559
sending a letter saying that the city of

2747
02:11:11,559 --> 02:11:16,360
Hawthorne is not in agreement with an

2748
02:11:14,559 --> 02:11:19,400
additional

2749
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:21,400
charge and that's still my stance but I

2750
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:24,360
need the community's help to understand

2751
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:27,079
that come July you can't be coming here

2752
02:11:24,360 --> 02:11:28,119
or telling us later that this is not

2753
02:11:27,079 --> 02:11:29,880
fair and this is something that you

2754
02:11:28,119 --> 02:11:31,320
didn't want you need to start speaking

2755
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:33,960
up

2756
02:11:31,320 --> 02:11:36,280
now so having said that how can you do

2757
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:39,639
that you have to be able to go to

2758
02:11:36,280 --> 02:11:42,960
Southern California Edison uh website uh

2759
02:11:39,639 --> 02:11:45,400
the Pu its proposal uh see what is

2760
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:50,079
exactly being proposed to the residents

2761
02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:52,760
and um you know make your stance

2762
02:11:50,079 --> 02:11:54,400
um they might paint a pretty picture and

2763
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:56,880
say basically you're really not going to

2764
02:11:54,400 --> 02:11:59,639
get um hit too hard but there's two

2765
02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:01,119
costs and they said that there's an

2766
02:11:59,639 --> 02:12:03,239
infrastructure cost and then there's a

2767
02:12:01,119 --> 02:12:05,639
utility cost which is your kilowatts

2768
02:12:03,239 --> 02:12:08,159
that you're using so there is two

2769
02:12:05,639 --> 02:12:10,199
cost so when they said that and they

2770
02:12:08,159 --> 02:12:12,040
verified that what do you think's going

2771
02:12:10,199 --> 02:12:15,440
to come next there's going to be an

2772
02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:15,440
additional cost added for

2773
02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:18,880
infrastructure that's what's going to

2774
02:12:17,360 --> 02:12:20,480
come next

2775
02:12:18,880 --> 02:12:23,400
because what they're trying to do is now

2776
02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:25,079
say basically that all the pose all the

2777
02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:28,159
the lines everything that they have to

2778
02:12:25,079 --> 02:12:30,079
keep up with it's become uh a little bit

2779
02:12:28,159 --> 02:12:31,719
too much and you've heard about the wild

2780
02:12:30,079 --> 02:12:33,760
fire the fires happening up in the

2781
02:12:31,719 --> 02:12:35,440
mountains infrastructure and whatnot

2782
02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:38,760
being uh

2783
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:41,480
destroyed that comes back to us the rate

2784
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:42,679
payer to have to build that back up that

2785
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:43,960
infrastructure it's not going to come

2786
02:12:42,679 --> 02:12:45,719
from the

2787
02:12:43,960 --> 02:12:46,760
investors they're going to want to be

2788
02:12:45,719 --> 02:12:50,679
paid

2789
02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:53,320
back so I say that to say this again

2790
02:12:50,679 --> 02:12:55,079
please join in reading and and and

2791
02:12:53,320 --> 02:12:57,440
researching and looking up more

2792
02:12:55,079 --> 02:13:01,440
information on how the proposals to the

2793
02:12:57,440 --> 02:13:03,840
Pu will ultimately affect you the pay

2794
02:13:01,440 --> 02:13:06,800
rate the the residents of

2795
02:13:03,840 --> 02:13:10,079
Hawthorne and um you know go a little

2796
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:13,679
step further look into uh SoCal

2797
02:13:10,079 --> 02:13:16,599
Gas because it's always a trickling

2798
02:13:13,679 --> 02:13:20,360
effect um but I will continue to

2799
02:13:16,599 --> 02:13:22,800
Champion to assure that um you know

2800
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:25,239
every um information that's brought here

2801
02:13:22,800 --> 02:13:27,760
to us is correct and if we have

2802
02:13:25,239 --> 02:13:29,920
additional information or requests for

2803
02:13:27,760 --> 02:13:32,280
for additional information that that be

2804
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:34,599
brought to us and I don't see a problem

2805
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:38,760
with bringing clean power Alliance to us

2806
02:13:34,599 --> 02:13:40,800
also um ask um the executive director to

2807
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:42,520
to assist us and you know they they they

2808
02:13:40,800 --> 02:13:45,079
might be able to proiv provide a little

2809
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:47,199
bit more information as well but it's

2810
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:49,199
all all on the internet you could pull

2811
02:13:47,199 --> 02:13:51,440
it up at any given given time what I'm

2812
02:13:49,199 --> 02:13:53,719
reading is uh California revamps

2813
02:13:51,440 --> 02:13:55,639
electricity rates based on income how

2814
02:13:53,719 --> 02:13:57,480
are you going to be verified your

2815
02:13:55,639 --> 02:13:58,800
income there's going to be personal

2816
02:13:57,480 --> 02:14:02,079
information that's going to be asked of

2817
02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:04,920
you how else are they verifying what you

2818
02:14:02,079 --> 02:14:06,480
make to give you that charge there's

2819
02:14:04,920 --> 02:14:08,840
personal information that's going to be

2820
02:14:06,480 --> 02:14:11,159
gathered it's not just you know like he

2821
02:14:08,840 --> 02:14:13,800
said you know no we don't need that yes

2822
02:14:11,159 --> 02:14:16,040
they're going to need that he said that

2823
02:14:13,800 --> 02:14:18,440
basically that care doesn't provide that

2824
02:14:16,040 --> 02:14:20,559
no care provides that too if you're

2825
02:14:18,440 --> 02:14:22,119
looking to uh get assistance for paying

2826
02:14:20,559 --> 02:14:24,360
your utility bill you fill out an

2827
02:14:22,119 --> 02:14:26,079
application for care you provide your

2828
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:28,000
income you provide where you're

2829
02:14:26,079 --> 02:14:29,320
receiving that income from and whether

2830
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:31,639
it's Social Security whether it's

2831
02:14:29,320 --> 02:14:34,040
Medicare medical whether it's any other

2832
02:14:31,639 --> 02:14:36,119
source of income and then they base your

2833
02:14:34,040 --> 02:14:38,920
rate based off of your personal

2834
02:14:36,119 --> 02:14:41,599
information that you completed on an

2835
02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:43,679
application so if they're saying that no

2836
02:14:41,599 --> 02:14:46,400
they don't need to know what your annual

2837
02:14:43,679 --> 02:14:47,440
income is that's not true they need to

2838
02:14:46,400 --> 02:14:49,480
know how much you're making so they

2839
02:14:47,440 --> 02:14:54,040
could charge you based off of your

2840
02:14:49,480 --> 02:14:56,159

uh I really hope that you guys take uh

2917
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:22,639
take uh this uh uh very importantly is

2918
02:18:20,240 --> 02:18:26,559
that if you put these banners up on

2919
02:18:22,639 --> 02:18:29,359
Hawthorne Boulevard North of elsag gundo

2920
02:18:26,559 --> 02:18:31,800
the poles are too widespread to the left

2921
02:18:29,359 --> 02:18:33,920
to the left on the other side to the

2922
02:18:31,800 --> 02:18:35,599
right it's it's it's not going to be

2923
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:38,519
very it's not going to be Poss and and

2924
02:18:35,599 --> 02:18:40,359
the traffic runs faster so you're not

2925
02:18:38,519 --> 02:18:42,800
going to be able to see these you know

2926
02:18:40,359 --> 02:18:45,559
the uh the banners and what they say

2927
02:18:42,800 --> 02:18:48,280
when you're speed uh moving along

2928
02:18:45,559 --> 02:18:49,880
quickly and when when you look to the

2929
02:18:48,280 --> 02:18:53,040
right look to the left these Banners are

2930
02:18:49,880 --> 02:18:55,319
going to be smaller than you anticipated

2931
02:18:53,040 --> 02:18:57,840
we need to stay off of anything north of

2932
02:18:55,319 --> 02:19:00,439
uh hawthor Boulevard uh uh Elsa Gunda

2933
02:18:57,840 --> 02:19:03,719

02:19:00,439 --> 02:19:06,160
this um south of Elsa between Elsa gundo

2935
02:19:03,719 --> 02:19:09,280
on haor Boulevard between Elsa gundo

Boulevard and Rose CR Avenue that way

2937
02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:14,439
you know traffic runs slower the poles

2938
02:19:11,840 --> 02:19:16,880
are closer to the people who are driving

2939
02:19:14,439 --> 02:19:18,760
you can easily look up without

2940
02:19:16,880 --> 02:19:21,399
distraction and get to you know see your

02:19:32,040 --> 02:19:37,559
um again with the issue with the

2947
02:19:34,719 --> 02:19:40,040
Southern California Edison we did the

2948
02:19:37,559 --> 02:19:43,080
calculations up here just remember they

2949
02:19:40,040 --> 02:19:45,800
said that the uh current rate is is what

2950
02:19:43,080 --> 02:19:50,040
it is there's a 25 there's going to be a

2951
02:19:45,800 --> 02:19:54,840
proposed 25% de decrease but a f fixed

2952
02:19:50,040 --> 02:19:57,479
$50 cost so with that new change you

2953
02:19:54,840 --> 02:19:59,960
would have to uh your bill would have

2954
02:19:57,479 --> 02:20:01,760
your current bill that you spend you

2955
02:19:59,960 --> 02:20:05,520
guys know what you spend I spend a 100

2956
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:08,880
bucks um a lot of you 150 maybe at the

2957
02:20:05,520 --> 02:20:12,800
you know higher okay well maybe even if

2958
02:20:08,880 --> 02:20:14,800
it's 200 but anybody in the $100 AG 150

2959
02:20:12,800 --> 02:20:19,160
Etc

2960
02:20:14,800 --> 02:20:20,880
okay if you you it would need to be $200

2961
02:20:19,160 --> 02:20:24,640
or more to even

2962
02:20:20,880 --> 02:20:26,359
out okay for you to experience a benefit

2963
02:20:24,640 --> 02:20:29,880
and there are a lot of people here who

2964
02:20:26,359 --> 02:20:31,520
like are in in apartments rent uh small

2965
02:20:29,880 --> 02:20:33,200
apartments well condos that don't

2966
02:20:31,520 --> 02:20:36,120
require energy like the homes that you

2967
02:20:33,200 --> 02:20:40,120
might live in so this really it's it's

2968
02:20:36,120 --> 02:20:42,359
kind of a what wolf and sheep's

2969
02:20:40,120 --> 02:20:44,399
clothing this is not what you think it

2970
02:20:42,359 --> 02:20:46,160
is a majority of Hawthorne residents are

2971
02:20:44,399 --> 02:20:49,240
going to be impacted negatively by this

2972
02:20:46,160 --> 02:20:51,800
with the uh uh higher cost it's very

2973
02:20:49,240 --> 02:20:53,479
clear the math we did the math council

2974
02:20:51,800 --> 02:20:54,880
member Patterson and myself we did it we

2975
02:20:53,479 --> 02:20:58,560
did it really quickly up here and that's

2976
02:20:54,880 --> 02:21:02,319
what it ended up so be uh be aware of

2977
02:20:58,560 --> 02:21:04,000
that and uh be cautious and uh speak up

2978
02:21:02,319 --> 02:21:05,760
if you don't like it if you want to pay

2979
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:07,520
more that's up to you but I think uh the

2980
02:21:05,760 --> 02:21:08,319
residents don't want to pay more for

2981
02:21:07,520 --> 02:21:12,960
this

2982
02:21:08,319 --> 02:21:15,960
stuff okay thank

2983
02:21:12,960 --> 02:21:15,960
you

2984
02:21:16,240 --> 02:21:22,359
uh of of great concern to me and uh I

2985
02:21:20,720 --> 02:21:24,720
this is going to be a formal directive

2986
02:21:22,359 --> 02:21:28,640
and we need to see something uh a

2987
02:21:24,720 --> 02:21:30,080
meeting of a type I'm suggesting a brown

2988
02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:32,080
act type

2989
02:21:30,080 --> 02:21:34,200
meeting when you're driving on the

2990
02:21:32,080 --> 02:21:37,120
freeway haven't you seen people riding

2991
02:21:34,200 --> 02:21:38,680
their bicycles along the uh the the

2992
02:21:37,120 --> 02:21:41,080
on-ramps

2993
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:44,760

02:22:01,680 --> 02:22:04,359
if it's going to take a little bit

3001
02:22:02,560 --> 02:22:06,640
longer to make my points but well the

3002
02:22:04,359 --> 02:22:09,040
point is that should not be

3003
02:22:06,640 --> 02:22:10,920
allowed why are these people not getting

3004
02:22:09,040 --> 02:22:13,479
sighted why are they allowed to just

3005
02:22:10,920 --> 02:22:16,160
walk around it's a matter of time before

3006
02:22:13,479 --> 02:22:19,640
somebody might see hit

3007
02:22:16,160 --> 02:22:23,000
them if you drive along the freeway you

3008
02:22:19,640 --> 02:22:25,720

3009
02:22:23,000 --> 02:22:28,280

3026
02:23:01,319 --> 02:23:05,280
as an agency they can tell them what to

3027
02:23:02,760 --> 02:23:07,160
do we need to invoke you know our

3028
02:23:05,280 --> 02:23:09,120
relationships with them to tell them

3029
02:23:07,160 --> 02:23:11,200
that this cannot be allowed but the

3030
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:13,399

3035
02:23:21,200 --> 02:23:25,359

02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:28,080
strategy on how to deal with this so I'm

3064
02:24:26,680 --> 02:24:31,439
proposing that we have so that

3065
02:24:28,080 --> 02:24:34,000

3066
02:24:31,439 --> 02:24:35,479

3067
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:37,520
meeting where we're here at a council

3068
02:24:35,479 --> 02:24:39,279
meeting at a special meeting that deals

3069
02:24:37,520 --> 02:24:40,520
with this where we're engaging with our

3070
02:24:39,279 --> 02:24:43,439
state

3071
02:24:40,520 --> 02:24:47,120
officials would you guys be okay with

3072
02:24:43,439 --> 02:24:48,640
that well how about this let's t the

3073
02:24:47,120 --> 02:24:50,920
city that's a director for the city

3074
02:24:48,640 --> 02:24:52,520
manager to take a look on the logistics

3075
02:24:50,920 --> 02:24:54,760
for that type of

3076
02:24:52,520 --> 02:24:56,520
meeting I think it's better to just let

3077
02:24:54,760 --> 02:24:58,520
him to figure out how we approach it as

3078
02:24:56,520 --> 02:25:01,240
opposed to kind of fashion

3079
02:24:58,520 --> 02:25:03,120
it okay do you guys all understand what

3080
02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:05,800

3082
02:25:05,800 --> 02:25:11,000
this guy on a car this people riding a

3083
02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:13,960
bicycle coming towards me when I'm

3084
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:15,720
exiting the you know just like all it

3085
02:25:13,960 --> 02:25:17,720
takes is a little mistake on their part

3086
02:25:15,720 --> 02:25:20,560
right mayor

3087
02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:20,560
I've been seeing

3088
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:26,920
lately but I've been seeing a lot of

3089
02:25:23,319 --> 02:25:29,960
people walking on the freeway and it's

3090
02:25:26,920 --> 02:25:33,080
it's been recent like I never noticed

3091
02:25:29,960 --> 02:25:35,680
this in previous years but recently I've

3092
02:25:33,080 --> 02:25:37,880
been seeing a lot of folks walk on a

3093
02:25:35,680 --> 02:25:40,080
freeway and I'm trying to figure out

3094
02:25:37,880 --> 02:25:41,880
where they coming from where are they

3095
02:25:40,080 --> 02:25:43,960
going it's not like they're in the

3096
02:25:41,880 --> 02:25:46,160
middle like towards the end when you're

3097
02:25:43,960 --> 02:25:47,520
getting off the freeway it's like in the

3098
02:25:46,160 --> 02:25:50,640
middle so

3099
02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:52,200
it's like four or five miles either way

3100
02:25:50,640 --> 02:25:54,920
so I'm trying to figure out how do they

3101
02:25:52,200 --> 02:25:54,920
end up on the

3102
02:25:57,279 --> 02:26:01,920
freeway thank you so there needs to be

3103
02:26:00,319 --> 02:26:03,720
penalties there we everybody we're just

3104
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:05,800
removing the responsibility from those

3105
02:26:03,720 --> 02:26:07,399
PE from the people who are doing that

3106
02:26:05,800 --> 02:26:10,399
and we're just totally removing it and

3107
02:26:07,399 --> 02:26:11,960
just assuming that it's you know not

3108
02:26:10,399 --> 02:26:15,040
everything's a mental health

3109
02:26:11,960 --> 02:26:16,359
issue a lot of it is but not everything

3110
02:26:15,040 --> 02:26:17,680
I don't want to tie it into those

3111
02:26:16,359 --> 02:26:19,920
smashing grabs that we've been

3112
02:26:17,680 --> 02:26:23,279
experiencing all over Ellie County

3113
02:26:19,920 --> 02:26:25,080
but that's also a lack of responsibility

3114
02:26:23,279 --> 02:26:29,200
that's being given

3115
02:26:25,080 --> 02:26:31,120
uh given to those perpetrators

3116
02:26:29,200 --> 02:26:33,600
okay when do you think would be a

3117
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:36,000
reasonable amount of time at this point

3118
02:26:33,600 --> 02:26:38,439
I'm going hitting you up maybe by the

3119
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:40,319
end with it before the next meeting well

3120
02:26:38,439 --> 02:26:42,800
may Mr Mayor tomorrow I will reach out

3121
02:26:40,319 --> 02:26:44,200
to our elected officials and get a

3122
02:26:42,800 --> 02:26:46,319
timeline from

3123
02:26:44,200 --> 02:26:47,640
them maybe maybe tomorrow you can't do

3124
02:26:46,319 --> 02:26:48,270
that tonight

3125
02:26:47,640 --> 02:26:50,760
what

3126
02:26:48,270 --> 02:26:53,840
[Laughter]

3127
02:26:50,760 --> 02:26:55,920
maybe to the

3128
02:26:53,840 --> 02:26:58,200
chair that's very

3129
02:26:55,920 --> 02:27:00,120
important not it I know we had a

3130
02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:02,439
representative from Bradford's office

3131
02:27:00,120 --> 02:27:04,800
but um you know that they're not here

3132
02:27:02,439 --> 02:27:06,880
Monday through Thursday they have to fly

3133
02:27:04,800 --> 02:27:10,000
back Thursday night for events on

3134
02:27:06,880 --> 02:27:12,600
weekends so how we're going to make this

3135
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:14,840
meeting I'd like you know just to so

3136
02:27:12,600 --> 02:27:16,760
that you know it'll have to be a Friday

3137
02:27:14,840 --> 02:27:19,200
or something I think we might have to

3138
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:19,200
fly up to

3139
02:27:20,200 --> 02:27:26,279
Sacramento we can use our new technology

3140
02:27:23,160 --> 02:27:28,680
and do a zoom call course the last thing

3141
02:27:26,279 --> 02:27:32,040
guys the last thing on my end okay thank

3142
02:27:28,680 --> 02:27:33,520
you thank you um I believe that uh we

3143
02:27:32,040 --> 02:27:36,359
touched on a lot of different things

3144
02:27:33,520 --> 02:27:39,160
actually uh the mixed use taking a look

3145
02:27:36,359 --> 02:27:42,000
at that and uh focusing on certain parts

3146
02:27:39,160 --> 02:27:46,800
of our city I like to specifically like

3147
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:51,000
to focus on the uh stretch of Hawthorn

3148
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:53,160
Boulevard from 120th Street down to

3149
02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:55,200
Broadway which is right here on the

3150
02:27:53,160 --> 02:27:57,399
western side

3151
02:27:55,200 --> 02:27:59,080
okay I think that that's a great

3152
02:27:57,399 --> 02:28:02,520
opportunity where we can at least

3153
02:27:59,080 --> 02:28:05,279
attempt to have a restaurant District it

3154
02:28:02,520 --> 02:28:07,680
might be small but it's uh there's a

3155
02:28:05,279 --> 02:28:09,960
sufficient enough space that if we have

3156
02:28:07,680 --> 02:28:13,319
the proper zoning that allows it

3157
02:28:09,960 --> 02:28:17,840
facilitates it the proper infrastructure

3158
02:28:13,319 --> 02:28:20,600
that widens the U sidewalks to allow for

3159
02:28:17,840 --> 02:28:24,240
uh sidewalk dining as was talked about

3160
02:28:20,600 --> 02:28:27,800
before um I think uh that could be a

3161
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:31,080
good opportunity um I talked to the city

3162
02:28:27,800 --> 02:28:33,240
manager and uh he has some ideas and I

3163
02:28:31,080 --> 02:28:35,240
think uh as a directive I would like for

3164
02:28:33,240 --> 02:28:38,080
you just to pursue

3165
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:39,760
that we got a focused area and we

3166
02:28:38,080 --> 02:28:41,040
already identified something there are

3167
02:28:39,760 --> 02:28:43,800
restaurants there

3168
02:28:41,040 --> 02:28:45,600
now but if we do the proper zoning then

3169
02:28:43,800 --> 02:28:47,600
maybe there could be some new

3170
02:28:45,600 --> 02:28:50,720
tenants

3171
02:28:47,600 --> 02:28:50,720
Greg had a great

3172
02:28:51,600 --> 02:28:55,200
plan yeah no but the thing is we might

3173
02:28:54,000 --> 02:28:56,640
need to do a little bit of more

3174
02:28:55,200 --> 02:29:00,000
adjusting on the

3175
02:28:56,640 --> 02:29:02,120
zoning like Chop Chop like a little bit

3176
02:29:00,000 --> 02:29:02,120
a

3177
02:29:02,319 --> 02:29:07,080
little all right thank you

3178
02:29:09,479 --> 02:29:13,319
guys thank thank you mayor I think this

3179
02:29:11,640 --> 02:29:15,720
is very important for our residents to

3180
02:29:13,319 --> 02:29:18,600
know that under the leadership of vaugh

3181
02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:21,880

02:29:24,880 --> 02:29:31,240
revenue of 88 million plus and we had

3185

overall efficiency and productivity so

3190
02:29:42,399 --> 02:29:46,200

3191
02:29:44,120 --> 02:29:49,680

02:29:46,200 --> 02:29:49,680
