it's a 46 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:58,560 non-emergency online request service system so again it's for non-emergencies 47 00:10:55,079 --> 00:11:03,440 for emergencies please call 911 request services such graffiti removal pothole 48 00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:08,279 repair and illegal dumping can be um requested on the app and you do not need 49 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:13,160 to provide any information it can be anonymous and requests get sent directly 50 00:11:11,079 --> 00:11:19,519 to City staff um so how can you access to my 51 00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:22,880 Civic 311 app um there's two ways one is through our website at cityof 52 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:30,880 hawthorne.ca on a smartphone on your iPhone through the Apple App Store and 53 00:11:28,839 --> 00:11:36,920 on Android through the Google Play Store and I will be demonstrating um both 54 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:42,000 methods so again if you want to access it by PC you can go to the website City 55 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:46,760 OFW thorne. um underneath the video playing um you see the six buttons one 56 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:51,600 of them says Virtual City Hall so you can click on that 57 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:56,360 one and it'll take you to this page um Virtual City Hall in the middle it says 58 00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:03,160 you can access it by PC or phone by visiting Hawthorne citizen selfservice 59 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:09,399 and it'll take you to this page and then at the top it says my Hawthorne 60 00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:16,040 311 and then it'll take you to this page where it'll have a list of um requests 61 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:21,320 that you can submit to city um to city employees so the sample one I have is 62 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:25,000 for potholes um there's some questions that you need to answer in order for 63 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:29,560 your request to go through such as the nearest cross um cross streets or 64 00:12:27,199 --> 00:12:35,079 intersection of where the pothole is a description of the pothole and also the 65 00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:40,600 map specifically for potholes if it is um on a freeway you would contact celr 66 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:45,199 and if it is in unincorporated LA County you would contact LA County so if it's 67 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:49,360 anywhere outside of city of Hawthorne boundaries you will not be able to 68 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:54,720 submit a request those would have to go to those respective 69 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:59,880 agencies and then so um after you fill out the form and click submit um City 70 00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:04,600 staff gets an email that a request has been submitted and then we will um go 71 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:09,360 through the appropriate measures to make sure that the request is 72 00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:15,000 fulfilled um in terms of the mobile app you can download it again um from your 73 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:21,279 smartphone the my Civic 311 app and then um once you get to the homepage there's 74 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:26,839 a report and issue button and again same thing there's a list of um requests that 75 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:31,680 you can select to report an issue um depending on the issue there'll be a 76 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:36,000 popup this says if it's not applicable um for the city of Hawthorne then you 77 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:40,279 need to access a different website and then again you can fill out 78 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:44,839 your information if you want to it is better if you do just because um some of 79 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:48,519 the requests are vague and it's better if we have um at least your contact 80 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:52,720 information maybe an email or your phone number so that we can contact you if we 81 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,959 have any additional questions regarding your 82 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,480 issue um and then um you can also submit photos photos are also really good just 83 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:07,720 because it gives us a clear picture of what the issue is sometimes you can't 84 00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:12,160 really describe it clearly um so a picture is worth a thousand 85 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:17,160 words um so I would like to do the mobile access 86 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,360 demonstration um if you can see from the 87 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,040 TV 88 00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:47,320 so you can see the app there's um different things that you can do um so 89 00:14:45,079 --> 00:14:52,079 I'm going to click on report and issue and then I can scroll down to where it 90 00:14:49,079 --> 00:14:58,000 says potholes for example again if a pothole is located outside excuse me of 91 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:01,320 of city of haon jurisdiction like calr or unincorporated um you would have to 92 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,040 contact them directly um again if you want to put in 93 00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:10,399 your contact info like your name or your email address it would help just in case 94 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:14,519 City staff has any questions regarding um your 95 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:21,120 request and then so I'm just going to put a random street just say Elsa 96 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:25,680 gundo and Hawthorne and then I'm just going to say 97 00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:25,680 in the 98 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,959 middle of the street 99 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:39,360 and then you click next and then again there's a map so you can U zoom in with 100 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:45,319 your phone directly to the location so in this case I zoom in 101 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,319 directly to Elsa gundo and 102 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:53,800 Hawthorne um if someone has already requested um a pothole to be fixed here 103 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,480 sometimes there'll be a popup that says um are you sure you want to submit 104 00:15:55,279 --> 00:16:02,600 another request um you can submit another request if you want want to or 105 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:06,519 you can um just cancel but in this case I'm going to 106 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:11,040 continue and then if you want to add additional notes or photos um that would 107 00:16:08,839 --> 00:16:13,360 be helpful as well and then you would click 108 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:25,279 submit so you should get this popup that says your report has been submitted um 109 00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:29,959 if you have any questions please contact public 110 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:35,519 works so that is the the the app version and then um I'm going to go back and do

evening mayor mayor prot time Council and to the citizens of the 246 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:57,080 city who are here and watching um I'm going to be talking to you about the uh 247 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:02,159 the effort to Rebrand the city with a new logo and I'm start going to start 248 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:07,399 with a little bit of historic um information um here's an example of a 249 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:11,200 logo that I found that was used in 1960 um I'm not sure how much earlier 250 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:15,760 before that it was used or if it was used for a long time or not but um this 251 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:19,320 represents Hawthorne at a time when Northrop and Aviation dominated the 252 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:25,200 city's identity then for about 18 years maybe a 253 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:28,480 little less the city used this logo which features the city hall at the time 254 00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:32,039 which became the police station which then got torn down to build a hotel so 255 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:36,200 this was a time when the city was growing into its own 256 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:41,440 identity and then the one we're all familiar with was adopted in 257 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:45,880 1978 this is reflecting a city trying to reinvent itself there was a lot of 258 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:50,159 Redevelopment activity going on then and we got a new city hall and a new mall 259 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,159 during this 260 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:59,279 period but we just we're looking at um we put together a committee to study new 261 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:03,720 logo ideas because we feel like this is a turning point in the city's history 262 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:08,840 and we'd like to we'd like to um honor that with a new logo so starting with a 263 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:14,000 vision of a dynamic and bright future and building on the city's assets and 264 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:19,880 strengths but creating a break with the past but acknowledgement of of key 265 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:25,399 values so this is the final version of the logo that was 266 00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:30,200 presented um this incorporates the the vision of the committee as well as is 267 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:35,120 comments and recommendations from the city 268 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:39,760 council I'd like to go into a little bit of the development of this we have a lot 269 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:43,480 of borrowed elements from our current logo for example there's the airplane 270 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,480 only we made it look kind of like a rocket but kind of like an airplane so 271 00:31:45,639 --> 00:31:52,880 we get the both best of both there's the sun um the difference 272 00:31:50,919 --> 00:31:57,519 is though it's it's rising on the right and it's setting on the left okay just 273 00:31:54,480 --> 00:32:04,639 so you know um this is the Tower of the airport report iconic structure of the 274 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:08,360 city um 1922 we figured uh we didn't need the Incorporated but we definitely 275 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,559 want that 1922 in there and the City of good neighbors was the uh final addition 276 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:16,639 from the council I'd like to also uh address some 277 00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:23,159 of the ISS or some of the items that are shown here so dawn of a bright 278 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:29,720 future here we have a very strong unifying ring around the entire thing we 279 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:35,279 have key assets of the city are represented these were chosen for their 280 00:32:32,639 --> 00:32:38,600 recognizability but also different aspects of the city's uh you know the 281 00:32:37,639 --> 00:32:43,120 city's offerings um the plane deliberately 282 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:47,320 breaks through the ring that's breaking with uh breaking the boundaries of 283 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:55,039 possibilities we got a dynamic solution here adds a lot of uh motion to the 284 00:32:50,080 --> 00:33:00,320 whole logo um nod to the iconic Water Tower and also a nod to the a good 285 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,880 climate we got to palm tree we think this covers just about everything and 286 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:11,080 it's straightforward it's not overcrowded it's uh rather attractive I 287 00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:18,360 think the logo also comes with variations for example we have a simpler 288 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:22,320 variation and a monocolor um variation these will be used in different cases 289 00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:28,120 where say um you have a small version of it 290 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,960 like on a pen and you can't get all that detail you pick one of these you could 291 00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:35,480 use one of these on a business card although we could probably get all the 292 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:40,039 detail there um there's notepads and all kinds of other things that we can use it 293 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:44,519 for um we also have the designer also came up with a a letterhead that 294 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:50,080 incorporates the the logo as the O in Hawthorne which we was nice yeah we 295 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:55,200 thought that was nice yeah very nice yeah so here's some of the ways that 296 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:59,559 logo would be used we've I you know we see the police car branding using it um 297 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:05,799 web page notepads business cards pens all 298 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,599 kinds of things stationary and it looks good in many different formats but you 299 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:14,040 can see what different ones are used some are the monotone some are the 300 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:19,200 colorful ones some are the simple ones so that concludes the presentation 301 00:34:17,879 --> 00:34:23,839 and I'm happy to answer any questions you 302 00:34:20,599 --> 00:34:28,800 have thank you so much and thanks for uh I have to admit I I like to keep things 303 00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:34,760 the same but uh sometimes for some things but this is definitely 304 00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:39,200 uh it's it's a good way of imagining ourselves and how we're progressing into 305 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:44,119 the future so you took the group took our recommendations into account and 306 00:34:41,839 --> 00:34:50,599 it's very evident it's nice it's clean and solid I I think uh we're going to be 307 00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:55,639 envied by many cities around when they see the this logo either on our shirts 308 00:34:53,399 --> 00:34:58,920 where we're representing the city or when they take a look at our website or 309 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:05,920 anything that we do so thank you so much for your guys'

00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:45,079 driving National enforcement mobilization so basically that means 371 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:50,920 we're definitely targeting people who are driving while distracted since last 372 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:55,240 Wednesday within less than a 12-hour period we've already issued over 30 373 00:41:52,800 --> 00:42:02,359 citations for distracted driving and it's not they're not weak they are fully 374 00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:02,359 enforceable fully recorded 375 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:14,640 violations the national highway traffic safety administration also called Nitsa 376 00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:18,920 started this campaign this month of put the phone away or pay because basically 377 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:24,160 using your phone while you're driving can kill 378 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:28,599 someone oor Santos gimenez will explain the 379 00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:34,440 fines good evening neor everyone yeah if you get a citation for the first offense 380 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:38,160 it is $20 plus the penalties and assessments by the court so it ends up 381 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:43,440 being about $148 for the second offense you'll have 382 00:42:40,839 --> 00:42:48,319 to pay $50 plus penalties and assessments it's close to $300 in 383 00:42:46,359 --> 00:42:53,720 addition if you're involved in a traffic collision because of this and because 384 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:57,160 you were distracted the the only issue with it is the fact that your insurance 385 00:42:55,359 --> 00:43:03,440 is going to go up and more than likely you're going to be found at fault if you 386 00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:08,280 uh get a citation within three a second citation within 3 years then that will 387 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:12,000 be a point on your driver's license which in essence means you have to go to 388 00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:14,640 traffic school in order to get rid of that point on your 389 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:25,800 license distracted driving is dangerous but some people just can't seem to help 390 00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:31,480 themselves there's the steering wheel proper the sneaker peer the fast roller 391 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:37,680 the nightlighter and it's not long until 392 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:43,960 they become the fender bender the got a ticketer the veering off the road the 393 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:50,040 driver who kills someone enough with the phones already 394 00:43:47,319 --> 00:43:50,040 just put them 395 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,280 down 396 00:43:53,480 --> 00:44:03,599 distract in the year 2022 3 , 308 people were killed with an additional estimated 397 00:44:01,319 --> 00:44:11,319 amount of 289,000 people injured in motor vehicle 398 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,319 traffic crashes all involving distracted 399 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,359 drivers the bottom line to all this distracted driving is 400 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:31,319 preventable and just to piggy back on that I've been a traffic officer for the 401 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:36,040 for 10 years and responded to so many traffic collisions at which point a lot 402 00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:40,960 of the drivers involved were actually telling me that yeah they were using the 403 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,599 cell phone it took one second to look at the phone as they looked up the car was 404 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:49,839 in front of them and they couldn't prevent the Collision so a lot of times 405 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:53,440 what when drivers are involved in accidents they won't tell you that they 406 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:57,040 were using the phone so the numbers are pretty skewed even though there's 407 00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:02,400 there's still thousands of numbers in traffic collisions that were caused by 408 00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:02,400 uh a distracted 409 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:11,160 driver thank you and drive safely California yeah all right yeah thank you 410 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:15,400 for the presentation um but I have some 411 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:21,520 questions and oh you guys are not going to like me after this 412 00:45:18,319 --> 00:45:26,599 Santos um this is a serious uh serious question um you have the many people who 413 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:30,440 pick up the phone those ones I saw right there were people that have their phone 414 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:34,960 in their hand but then you also have the people who have it mounted here Uber 415 00:45:32,839 --> 00:45:39,520 drivers you constantly see them when you're driving and your in their cars 416 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:42,160 and they're looking at this accepting a ride while they're driving Etc what's 417 00:45:41,359 --> 00:45:47,000 the difference we need to Define it why are 418 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,240 those not as dangerous I find I personally think they're equally as 419 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:57,079 dangerous sometimes even more because you have to lean in to access that yes 420 00:45:54,480 --> 00:46:01,760 they are so the section basically covers there's different sections that the 421 00:45:58,319 --> 00:46:06,640 vehicle code applies to so most of the sections cover you holding the cell 422 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:10,839 phone when it's not hands-free so let's just say for example if you put it on a 423 00:46:08,319 --> 00:46:18,800 little pedestal and you tap it once in a while per legislation that's not so bad 424 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:23,559 as you holding the cell phone the reason being is if the phone's on a holder and 425 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,440 you're looking at it more than likely you're going to be looking in a 426 00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:30,480 straightforward direction towards the uh front of the vehicle versus looking down 427 00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:33,599 at the cell phone so what a lot of drivers do because of the fact that they 428 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:39,040 know it's against a lot of use of cell phone while they're driving most of them 429 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:43,839 when I when I see the violations they're looking down at the phone that's what 430 00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:48,480 creates the biggest problem not by the phone being on a holder even though it 431 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:52,319 should still be if you're looking put it this way if you're looking at a at the 432 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:56,960 phone and you're FaceTiming someone that's a violation that's just looking 433 00:46:53,800 --> 00:47:02,440 at a TV on your on your stereo system so no in essence if it's not handsfree 434 00:47:00,119 --> 00:47:07,160 that's that creates a violation for you but the simple fact that you have it on 435 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:10,200 the holder allows for the possibility of that to happen shouldn't that be banned 436 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:15,079 in itself they pitched it to legislation 437 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:18,680 and so far they haven't changed it so hopefully at at some point every 438 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:23,079 violation that you get on your cell phone and that's me hoping will be a 439 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,960 point on your license so that deters people from using the phone while 440 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:31,960 driving yeah okay no I just I just kind I've always wondered that because it's 441 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:36,839 like it just seems a it's equally or it's not it increases the risk by 442 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:42,400 dramatically for being able to do that so and you know I've seen my driver 443 00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:45,839 swerve and to do certain things and so I just is I guess it's something to be 444 00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:51,839 aware of as well just be safe out there yes sir through the chair yeah thank 445 00:47:52,920 --> 00:48:02,680 you because through you know some times all of us do that right so it's good to 446 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:08,119 bring us to our attention because uh we see that all the time on on on on on our 447 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:14,240 streets so it's good to bring it up to attention to the people because when 448 00:48:10,599 --> 00:48:19,079 when you talk about 3,000 lives loss that's that's a lot of lives loss um so 449 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:24,839 distractive driver it is a problem to tell you the truth so uh I'm glad that I 450 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:29,319 see some penalty you know some some uh even uh the other day we have uh a 451 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:35,359 workshop at the mor Center that uh some of the ladies are saying that $50 is not 452 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:41,760 enough it's it's not enough because it is much more addict with because of the 453 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:47,359 cellones uh and it's much more accidents happen that can potential kill someone 454 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:54,359 uh and they said $50 and they're going to be lobing Sacramento to change for 455 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:57,280 even more uh more fines than $50 so and I agree with that because we see that 456 00:48:56,319 --> 00:49:01,839 every day people on the cell phone I know the 457 00:48:59,359 --> 00:49:05,440 people honking you know they just very distracted so thank you to bring to our 458 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:10,240 attention because um I think we should put this on our um website for people to 459 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:15,000 click on it and learn about the distracting drivers yeah thank you oh 460 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:19,160 real quick I I'd like to make even a bigger suggestion is that we have the 461 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:22,680 digital Billboards could we do something even if it's pasted this uh week can we 462 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:27,160 do it at least for a week's worth of time where we flashed this warning 463 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:31,440 somebody designs that and puts set up how you guys feel about that yes yeah 464 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:35,440 because I think yeah okay that's awesome prevents prevents you know loss of lives 465 00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:39,760 yes we're also going to have the press release put on the city website as well 466 00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:44,440 as our social media so we are trying to get the word out as much as possible 467 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:49,119 throughout April yeah to the chair yes um thank you so much for your 468 00:49:45,839 --> 00:49:56,160 presentation and I just want to um uh make mention that um I I I uh was hit 469 00:49:53,240 --> 00:50:01,359 from behind on the Harbor 110 freeway and we were at had a standstill so it 470 00:49:58,599 --> 00:50:05,520 was a pretty hard hit and um thank goodness that the folks surrounding me 471 00:50:03,839 --> 00:50:09,880 pulled pulled to the side and they were Witnesses and said he was on his cell 472 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:14,520 phone and it was a hard hit because it was like you said before you know it 473 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:22,079 you're up on a car

ahead so my dad 495 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:21,760 passed away four years ago but right before he passed away um 496 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:26,640 my dad was a kind of person who wouldn't leave things for last minute and he was 497 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:32,160 afraid of the cops he was like no I need to so my parents had just moved and my 498 00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:35,960 dad was the kind of person he's like no I moved I need to change my address I 499 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:40,400 need to update my information because I'm going to get in trouble so there I 500 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:46,440 am with the U-Haul truck with my Dad we pull into the 501 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:51,400 DMV and the DMV employee asked if he would like to donate his organs so my 502 00:52:48,839 --> 00:52:56,160 dad says no that's not for me so I told him real quick forget the 30-second 503 00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:59,559 elevator pitch it was more like a two second can get them back in line what 504 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:04,200 are you going to do with the organs once you pass 505 00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:08,240 away so he agreed then the DMV lady said would you like to make the $2 donation 506 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:11,720 for administrative fees and my dad said wait a minute you want my money and my 507 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:15,960 organs pick one so I told the lady I like you know 508 00:53:14,359 --> 00:53:20,280 what I'll pay for the administrative fees I'll pay for his license let's just 509 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:28,440 get him signed up that was in 510 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:28,440 October fast forward to December 511 00:53:29,559 --> 00:53:32,559 29th 512 00:53:32,839 --> 00:53:41,400 2019 I told myself not to cry my dad had a stroke and a heart 513 00:53:38,599 --> 00:53:47,160 attack in my car I had to take him out of my car give them 514 00:53:43,559 --> 00:53:52,760 CPR call EMS do all that finally EMS showed up took him to 515 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,839 the emergency room he was sent to critical care but my dad wasn't going to 516 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,960 make it and he was is not going to forgive us for keeping him around on 517 00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:04,280 artificial means so since my dad and I had already 518 00:54:02,799 --> 00:54:10,720 made the decision to put him on the organ donation list the decision was 519 00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:19,160 made to donate his organs and on January 2nd 2020 good old 520 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:23,520 2020 my dad was able to donate both his kidneys and his 521 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:27,440 liver his pancreas went to lomalinda University for 522 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:31,880 research and so 523 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:35,839 the before this I mean organ donation was in the back of my mind yes the pink 524 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:41,359 dot in my license as soon as I got my driver's license but it never I never 525 00:54:38,119 --> 00:54:46,799 really thought about the ripple effect and so as now as an ambassador for one 526 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:53,480 Legacy for Donate Life I get to meet people that have received organs 527 00:54:49,200 --> 00:55:01,760 families that are waiting for that hope for that miracle for that organ 528 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:06,200 saving um phone call and so it kind of validates and it kind of gives me a 529 00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:11,599 sense of peace knowing that yes my dad did pass away but at the same time he 530 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:17,400 saved three lives and because of that one life three families didn't have to

01:02:56,400 get this right good evening Mr Mayor mayor protim and city council members uh 609 01:02:54,599 --> 01:03:01,440 we were here earlier last month giving or two months ago 610 01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:07,720 giving gratitude to our city councilwoman Katrina Manning and we also 611 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:15,039 want to continue that um the property at 11 1818 is a vacant property uh there is 612 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:21,160 a woman that owns it but we're having an issue with her um doing whatever she 613 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:26,520 needs to do to get rid of the property we recently were to was told that cars 614 01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:32,160 will be removed from from the property there's three abandoned cars that's a 615 01:03:29,319 --> 01:03:38,480 big eyesore and one car was removed today we found out so they had until 616 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:44,119 yesterday to remove and then the city would get more involved starting 617 01:03:41,119 --> 01:03:49,880 today uh it's more than just the the cars that need to be moved it's uh a big 618 01:03:47,359 --> 01:03:57,319 eyesore for our community we're afraid for the homeless to come there uh but 619 01:03:53,240 --> 01:04:03,319 we'll continue to um work with our city councilwoman and the City attorney 620 01:04:00,359 --> 01:04:08,079 assistant of city attorney's uh office but we need it to vent that most 621 01:04:05,799 --> 01:04:13,440 recently though was uh one of the second issues our concerns on that paper and 622 01:04:11,079 --> 01:04:17,799 that is the speeding on 119th 623 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:23,119 Street and one of our neighbors who isn't here but Dario is here also 624 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:29,039 representing the video that I didn't get a chance to show you where someone must 625 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:35,799 have been doing about 50 60 M an hour turned on wilky and hit for the for the 626 01:04:32,599 --> 01:04:41,599 second time the neighbor's van that is parked on that corner she has children 627 01:04:39,799 --> 01:04:46,359 thank God there's a fence around her house because if her children were 628 01:04:43,119 --> 01:04:52,400 playing then they would have been hit there's a daycare house right there as 629 01:04:49,400 --> 01:05:00,880 well and if children are outside those children would have been hit it's a easy 630 01:04:55,839 --> 01:05:07,599 fix maybe maybe not speed bumps like on 116th that were implemented and I think 631 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:11,799 Katrina Manning did that uh herself before becoming a city council woman so 632 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:16,799 we're asking we're begging we're pleading they're doing donuts on that 633 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:23,640 street now we're pleading for Speed bumps on 119th 634 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:29,279 Street and something that isn't as it it's a concern but not as drastic as the 635 01:05:26,279 --> 01:05:36,359 speeding is the trash in our community Andrew and his wife and their dog walked 636 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:43,559 the community daily and he sees it constantly so that's all I have okay 637 01:05:40,319 --> 01:05:47,359 thank you ma'am the light is on Sir can you reset

appreciate everything you guys are doing um but I 642 01:06:02,119 --> 01:06:11,839 have noticed other cities have uh a city representative I mean someone 643 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:14,960 who would be able to pick up the trash in the neighborhoods I can't tell you 644 01:06:13,319 --> 01:06:19,160 every day I'm driving around whether it's inle wood or Hawthorne and you just 645 01:06:17,720 -->

647 01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:33,240 fine was actually pretty significant um and I just like that to 648 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:39,319 be monitored a little bit better but also um the speed bumps I think are are 649 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:43,359 a danger to the community and I would like those to be put in awesome thank 650 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:46,599 you thanks I mean also we invite the community

makes those decisions as it a commission and also I wanted to 689 01:09:54,920 --> 01:10:01,120 know spefic specifically what is the percentage of Ami required in the city 690 01:09:59,239 --> 01:10:05,760 of Hawthorne in order to be able to get a voucher um I found out relatively 691 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:11,520 recently that all of the city housing authorities set their own Ami limits and 692 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:14,159 this is the first time I've known that um the reason it's particularly 693 01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:18,440 important right now you may have been listening to the

that or not at the end of the month to go to DC 696 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:30,199 and Lobby because one of the problems that um 697 01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:35,760 homeless veterans have is that their disability payments frequently put them 698 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:39,960 above the limit the ceiling limit on the Ami and they're not able to get into 699 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,960 housing as a result so if that's something that we can change in the city 700 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:49,120 of Hawthorne I would like to urge you to look into that and see if you can work 701 01:10:46,400 -->

01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:37,960 okay discussion 16 so for 16 I noticed that it says the approval of uh 20 751 01:15:34,199 --> 01:15:43,679 vouchers and I wanted to know um how can we get more vouchers and I 752 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:51,080 know it says the agency decides the vouchers but can you tell me um how is 753 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:56,400 that decided that we only get uh 20 vouchers which program are you referring 754 01:15:53,040 --> 01:16:02,639 to I'm sorry uh number 16 the housing um Authority 755 01:15:59,639 --> 01:16:08,560 housing Choice voucher program for 2425 is said that we were approved for 756 01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:15,239 only 20 vouchers so I'm just wondering how can we get more vouchers 757 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:20,280 or how is it decided that we only get 20 vouchers um so I have to check on the 20 758 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:24,920 vouchers the Housing Authority has 726 vouchers uh we recently received an 759 01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:27,719 additional 23 vouchers from HUD when when they had additional vouchers 760 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:32,239 available that they spread out over all phas of public housing authorities 761 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:36,440 within the state of California so HUD determines how many vouchers you receive 762 01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:40,120 and based on how they're used is based on the funding that they provide us with 763 01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:44,120 uh it's either use all the funding or use all of the vouchers so if your 764 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:48,280 funding exceeds the number of vouchers that you have then generally you can use 765 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:52,639 all of your vouchers however if it's the opposite and your vouchers exceed more 766 01:16:51,159 --> 01:16:59,360 than the funding you have then you use less than the vouchers that you're 767 01:16:53,840 --> 01:17:04,199 allotted so we so we already used up our vouchers and we have 20 additional 768 01:17:01,719 --> 01:17:07,360 vouchers is there's no 20 additional vouchers that's why I'm trying to get an 769 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:14,760 understanding of the the 20 vouchers that you're referring to well in the 770 01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:21,040 packet that was with number 16 it says approval of 20 vouchers so I'm trying to 771 01:17:18,239 --> 01:17:26,280 understand how many vouchers do we have and did we get 20 additional vouchers 772 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,920 did we get approv for just only 20 vouchers or we had 700 vouchers I'm 773 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:37,520 trying to understand how can we have more than 20 vouchers so are you telling 774 01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:42,760 me we have more than 20 vouchers please explain cuz I'm again we have 726 775 01:17:40,679 --> 01:17:46,800 vouches in the PHA program if you're referring to the annual plan then you're 776 01:17:44,719 --> 01:17:52,120 probably referring to the note that I made about housing 20 families for this 777 01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:57,120 upcoming fiscal year pulling from the wait list to assist potentially 20 to 40 778 01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:00,960 families for this year based on the funding that's available that's the 779 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:05,880 Section 8 right correct that's housing Choice vouer program so that's the 20 780 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:12,840 families that you were able to uh house correct that's and that's our goal right 781 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:19,320 okay okay so we have 726 vouchers in the program so 782 01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:23,080 726 um um and then and then aside to that is the anly that you recognize the 783 01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:26,920 20 families that were eligible for the Section 8 so it's not eligible for 784 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:31,440 Section 8 it's the goal to pull them from our weit list how long is the weit 785 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:38,679 list the weit list has been going on since 2007 yeah yeah I know in Los 786 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:38,679 Angeles it's over 20 years yeah 787 01:18:40,639 --> 01:18:50,440 yeah um so in here it says the agency has approved 20 new owners for the 788 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:55,080 Section 8 program during this reporting period so that's separate from vouchers 789 01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:59,000 those are new owners who have opted into the program to house our families so 790 01:18:57,679 --> 01:19:04,600 those are people who own the apartment buildings and own the houses that we um 791 01:19:01,480 --> 01:19:12,080 sign leases for oh okay okay thank you sir thank you um we 792 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:16,000 had had some conversations with affordable housing developers over the 793 01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:22,480 years and all of them have talked about wanting Project based vouchers is that 794 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:27,040 possible um to use these 20 or whatever new allotment we have towards potential 795 01:19:24,719 --> 01:19:30,280 Project based voucher program so there's no new allotment just to be very clear 796 01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:34,840 about it it's the same allotment that we've had for years you can pull uh 797 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:39,120 vouchers from your allotted amount your allocated amount for PBB but you get no 798 01:19:37,239 --> 01:19:42,600 additional funding from it from HUD so it's what you have um so you separating 799 01:19:41,480 --> 01:19:46,600 or you're taking funding from the Section 8 program to create a new 800 01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:50,239 program and assist for a project based building where the assistance is only at 801 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:53,560 that building not with the individuals where they can take it with them 802 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:58,000 wherever they go it only stays at that that building and yes it's possible to 803 01:19:55,360 --> 01:20:03,639 do and you're were saying we have 726 vouchers vouchers and are are we were we 804 01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:06,960 allotted any new ones recently or this is just talking about what we're doing 805 01:20:05,239 --> 01:20:12,560 with the 726 this is just talking about what we're doing with the 726 do we get 806 01:20:08,639 --> 01:20:15,880 uh more at any given time it's very rare that HUD has the funding to provide more 807 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:21,400 because the federal government doesn't generally give uh HUD more funding any 808 01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:25,440 year um so it's it's rare we did get like I said 23 vouchers last year but 809 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:32,280 before that it was 20 years before they gave new vouchers 23 additional yes got 810 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:38,560 it and how many usually come in are turned over where we could choose 811 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:42,120 to hold and apply to a project on an annual basis like how how often well 812 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:47,040 it's based on your availability like I said so if you have 813 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:50,679 726 vouchers however you're leasing up 568 families and you used all your 814 01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:54,360 funding then those vouchers are available if there's no funding to house 815 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:58,960 them so they're there but you don't want your your project or your PHA to go into 816 01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:03,480 a shortfall because you've over leased so you have to be mindful of that 817 01:21:00,719 --> 01:21:07,480 balance of where you're at with your um assistance to your tenants and your your 818 01:21:05,199 --> 01:21:10,679 H assistance to the owners um and you have to plan ahead for that so if you're 819 01:21:09,199 --> 01:21:14,480 going to do a a pbv building then you need to plan for that at least two years 820 01:21:13,199 --> 01:21:17,080 ahead of time so that you can make sure there's enough funding in the pot for it 821 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:24,080 so you're saying that although we may have 726 vouchers uh able to give out we 822 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:30,199 may not be using all of them because of the funding may be um encumbered by less 823 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:35,320 vouchers right we may only need 300 vouchers to spend all the money that we 824 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:40,560 that we get for the program well that would be a stretch but yesing exactly 825 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:43,239 that's what I'm saying um and and you're saying if we wanted to do a project 826 01:21:41,719 --> 01:21:47,520 based Voucher Program something we need to plan that in advance a few years in 827 01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:52,080 advance to kind of do that strategically right because you also have the 828 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:55,080 administrative aspect of having to deal with that project that's a whole another 829 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:59,280 project so you need Staffing to deal with the case load of the management of 830 01:21:56,159 --> 01:22:05,320 the pvv awesome okay thank you that's a lot of information 831 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:10,560 Kimberly but but what's good to know what we're good what's good to know here 832 01:22:07,159 --> 01:22:17,199 is that there are 20 new owners that have property that have opted in to 833 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:23,760 leasing out rening out their units for Section 8 families so there's other in 834 01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:28,080 other words 20 new properties are in agreement to rece receive Section 8 to 835 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:33,600 House people at residents of hawor that's that's a plus thank 836 01:22:30,480 --> 01:22:39,639 you and the other the other thing to keep in mind so the the way that we 837 01:22:36,639 --> 01:22:46,760 receive money from Hut cdbg and home funds is based on census right so census 838 01:22:44,239 --> 01:22:53,360 is coming 2030 and they already start sending emails because if we don't count 839 01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:59,400 100% of our population then they have the formula the only give us money based 840 01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:05,480 on 56% of the people that was counted in hot T so that's the that is why we don't 841 01:23:02,199 --> 01:23:12,159 have a lot of money to give up because it's based on the census that was done 842 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:19,320 in 2020 and I think it was about 67% of people of hon answer the survey of so we 843 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:24,800 we losing 43% in a sense of funding because we didn't got a 100% 844 01:23:21,719 --> 01:23:29,800 count yeah you'd be surprised amilies don't want to give their personal 845 01:23:27,239 --> 01:23:33,400 information and they're intimidated by you know filling out a form someone 846 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:37,560 knocking at your door and asking how many people live in your home and that's 847 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:42,159 basically what happens and a lot of folks don't want to provide that 848 01:23:38,719 --> 01:23:47,440 information but it hurts us as a an agency thank you 849 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:53,159 Kimberly yeah 850 01:23:49,080 --> 01:24:00,320 right I make a mo thank you on 16 oh we still

thank you discussion action items Charter Provisions timeline for 871 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:27,920 ballot measure uh council member Alex Montero uh thank you Mr Mayor uh 872 01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:34,679 um the reason that I brought this item up is for us to decide if we want to put 873 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:42,440 this manage on a ballot again in 2024 or Del lay until future date 874 01:26:40,119 --> 01:26:46,960 um I understand you know you know the people of haton did vote no on the chter 875 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:46,960 in 876 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:59,400 2020 because of the salary that that was put on that 877 01:26:55,440 --> 01:27:05,080 provision right and I heavily campaign against it to vote no because of the 878 01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:09,440 salary because I didn't believe that the part-time council member should be 879 01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:15,560 getting $75,000 a year now the charter when you become a 880 01:27:12,440 --> 01:27:22,480 charter City there is some benefit to the whole Community it's not just the 881 01:27:18,679 --> 01:27:28,040 council member okay uh we talking about uh issues that deals with economic 882 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:32,119 develop and some other potential benefit because as you know uh for this past 883 01:27:31,119 --> 01:27:37,400 four years uh we have a a governor and the 884 01:27:35,639 --> 01:27:45,239 legislative in Sacramento that are passing a lot of laws to intervene with 885 01:27:40,679 --> 01:27:50,320 our local Authority especially on housing issues like for example that 886 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:57,600 they passing laws that we could build buildings on Holly 887 01:27:53,440 --> 01:28:04,920 Park uh apartment in Holly gland uh so all of those type of provision that we 888 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:10,440 as a general law City cannot stop the state and we would have to abide on it 889 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:15,760 let let's say if a develop comes and say okay I have this property in Holly Glenn 890 01:28:12,239 --> 01:28:21,000 or Holly Park I want to build uh you know 20 apartment 891 01:28:18,719 --> 01:28:25,520 unit the planning department and the city could say no but then it can sue us 892 01:28:23,480 --> 01:28:30,440 and they say the state have allow us to do 893 01:28:26,719 --> 01:28:34,800 it and then it's out of our hands so that is why the kind of things that we 894 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:41,960 try to prevent if you become a Char C we can stop we do not have to abide by this 895 01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:47,400 General law city that is dictated by California law and the 896 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:55,679 legisl I understand that the people vote know but like again the charter city is 897 01:28:51,840 --> 01:29:03,119 a good things for any City to become a charter City so I just want to find out 898 01:28:59,719 --> 01:29:09,880 to my colleagues if we have the majority to go 899 01:29:04,159 --> 01:29:16,360 ahead to get the an attorney or consultan to read what we wrote in 2020 900 01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:24,239 and maybe rewrite the new ballot language that 901 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:28,800 maybe the people hon can vote uh yes but we need to decide here on this diets if 902 01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:33,480 that's what we want to go forward or we want to postpone it or we want to wait 903 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:39,000 until later day so because time is running short so I'll stop by there and 904 01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:44,360 ask my colleagues say their peace uh through the chair I understand that we 905 01:29:41,639 --> 01:29:50,719 have a limited amount of time to agree on a provision and so definitely the 906 01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:54,760 interest of time I would support working with a consultant to help put something 907 01:29:53,600 --> 01:30:00,639 together for for the city for the council to vote on um and I think it's a 908 01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:08,880 good idea to listen to the people and um not include the uh the 909 01:30:05,199 --> 01:30:12,920 compensation which you know was the reason why it got uh voted 910 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:28,800 down anybody else you know the only way there could be a 911 01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:34,880 proposition on any ballot is that you get a majority vote and majority vote is 912 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:39,199 three um it would be good to see a full Council support with regards to moving 913 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:45,440 the city forward in a direction in which we're trying to do uh we have a new city 914 01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:51,520 hall we have uh new Endeavors uh our city is growing out there are things 915 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:58,719 that uh we are tied hands on that uh we have no you know no no Leverage 916 01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:05,520 um there are um local control trying to be uh you know unfortunately we don't 917 01:31:02,719 --> 01:31:10,760 necessarily have local control in in in the predicament that we're in today as a 918 01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:15,480 general law City uh Charter city has many different uh 919 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:20,000 benefits um we had a list that was provided to us that showed uh many South 920 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:24,800 Bay cities and cities in California in general that showed that their General 921 01:31:22,440 --> 01:31:31,880 um law cities have change to Charter City for those reasons so um I had a 922 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:38,679 little conversation with a few constituents um on on uh you know 923 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:44,920 Charter versus General law and the only reason um that it went on the ballot in 924 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:49,440 2020 was to uh for it to see what the people said you know there's things in 925 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:54,239 there that uh some folks might not agree to but at the end of the day they are 926 01:31:50,920 --> 01:32:00,000 the voter and they do their civic you know um engagement and and get 927 01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:03,960 knowledgeable however um you know there's a lot of naysayers and there's a 928 01:32:01,679 --> 01:32:10,000 lot of uh misrepresented information that is put out there that uh you know 929 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:16,920 is is is targeted to individuals which is not fair because if you really want 930 01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:22,639 to know um more you could go to any city that has the language for a charter City 931 01:32:20,239 --> 01:32:27,600 and see how some of those cities have been able to do things that uh otherwise 932 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:34,199 we're not able to do so um I would like to see 933 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:40,080 ultimately um a charter City so that we could um you know get a hold of our city 934 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:44,080 and not be tied to some of the things that we're not allowed to do currently 935 01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:52,239 that's that's one of my reasons um and if uh again the majority 936 01:32:49,719 --> 01:32:56,440 of the council sees sees it the same way I I don't see why it couldn't move 937 01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:11,480 forward so uh to the chair yeah so therefore since um it seems that we 938 01:33:07,239 --> 01:33:13,920 might have an agreement so should uh Mr can we put this to a vote please should 939 01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:21,199 we vote to move forward sure um let's be 940 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:26,080 very specific as to what we're proposing to vote on I understand there's U three 941 01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:33,679 at least three council members in support of uh putting a charter measure 942 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:40,000 on the next election ballot measure um but I've also heard hiring a consultant 943 01:33:36,239 --> 01:33:44,679 for that purpose so is that included on what you're all agreeing to um let's put 944 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:48,239 this to a vote that people can see up on the 945 01:33:46,119 --> 01:33:54,480 screen okay so that's what I'm asking can we be clear on what we're voting for 946 01:33:51,520 --> 01:34:02,119 because for me it's too different things you want to go ahead what's the 947 01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:07,600 well he said to get a consult let me restate it so what what I what I what my 948 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:13,920 purpose is is is to make sure that we have a vote to move forward for for 949 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:21,119 balance measure for November 5th 2024 if so I would love to for us to uh 950 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:29,119 hire a consultant uh and it's attorney that 951 01:34:25,159 --> 01:34:36,199 would guide us on that ballot measure language so that we could have a future 952 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:41,840 study session city council study session where the the people in hon can come in 953 01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:47,119 and votes their opinion and then we'd have to have a second public hearing to 954 01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:51,280 approve that language so that is what my motion is about before we can finally 955 01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:57,239 say we're going to put on the ballot to the chair um I'm just wondering the 956 01:34:54,520 --> 01:35:02,280 language that we previously had was what you said to use a previous language and 957 01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:07,760 I'm wondering why our City attorney can't draft that language with the 958 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:13,480 previous language as opposed to hiring a consultant it has to be rised it sorry 959 01:35:11,679 --> 01:35:18,320 it have to be revised because the language was not acceptable to the 960 01:35:15,679 --> 01:35:23,360 people of hotor so we want to make sure that the language is clear and what 961 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:29,199 exactly what is going to say so people will have a much better understanding so 962 01:35:27,480 --> 01:35:34,360 uh so we do not want to put the same thing in there so we want to be Revis 963 01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:39,040 because going to be a new language and and we like I said in the past you know 964 01:35:37,239 --> 01:35:42,880 I oppose it but then this this time I'm going to support it right to make sure 965 01:35:41,239 --> 01:35:48,880 that the language is correct and make sure that it's going to be a civil right 966 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:52,840 or or or is a a power to the people not to these council members sure so uh we 967 01:35:51,119 --> 01:35:56,800 have our City attorney why don't we just have him do it you you guys are going to 968 01:35:54,080 --> 01:36:01,040 instruct him anyway depending on your sh no no hold on just that I mean that she 969 01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:04,880 makes a good point that he's very well incapable uh you guys can instruct them 970 01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:09,880 on what you guys want why would we have to pay someone else that's just extra 971 01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:14,760 money he's not an expert our City attorney is not capable and competent to 972 01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:20,280 do this tell you go ahead he's going to say anything you 973 01:36:16,639 --> 01:36:27,040 want at this point so go ahead okay no no let's let's have him answer so the 974 01:36:23,719 --> 01:36:31,679 the issue is this I so if I've heard and I did a presentation we had somebody 975 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:37,480 else come and do the same presentation the bottom line 976 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:41,639 is is the count does the council have specific language that they want in the 977 01:36:40,159 --> 01:36:47,159 charter provision it seems that you're seeking a 978 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:53,119 consultant to give you recommendation a suggestion as to what language you want 979 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:56,719 I can't figure out if it's if it's if we're going to adop and put on the 980 01:36:54,600 --> 01:37:01,480 ballot measure the same language as the last Charter provision with the 981 01:36:59,199 --> 01:37:08,280 exception of the salary that can be done simply but it to me I I don't I don't 982 01:37:05,639 --> 01:37:14,400 have an understanding of what council wants there is there seems to be a 983 01:37:10,639 --> 01:37:19,600 consensus that we want to limit the the state's control of local issues that's 984 01:37:17,199 --> 01:37:24,560 legal issue and that's not that clear it's just because you're a charter City 985 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:29,040 doesn't mean that the local local cities will have control over housing issues 986 01:37:27,119 --> 01:37:33,560 because California Supreme Court has already ruled that housing is a 987 01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:37,960 Statewide concern so it doesn't matter if you're Charter city or a general law 988 01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:44,679 City I think the question is and what I'm what I'm confused about is what 989 01:37:41,199 --> 01:37:51,239 specific language is the the council that seeking Charter want as a provision 990 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:57,040 other than the salary the one thing that uh the the the thing that kind of uh I 991 01:37:54,239 --> 01:38:01,159 was kind of a bit I don't know was just confused and kind of stunned was that 992 01:37:59,239 --> 01:38:08,440 you gave a pres you gave a presentation on the pros and cons of being a charter 993 01:38:04,119 --> 01:38:12,520 City to the council yet it seems like somebody at least on the council 994 01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:18,080 instructed you to bring somebody else to do an alternate uh presentation on the 995 01:38:15,440 --> 01:38:22,119 pros and cons I mean does do the council trust our City attorney to be able to 996 01:38:19,719 --> 01:38:26,800 give us this information do this or not I mean is hiring a 997 01:38:24,679 --> 01:38:31,599 consultant uh a a result of maybe you're not trusting our City attorney it's not 998 01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:38,719 about trust Mr Mayor We Trust I have 110% Trust on on Mr Robert King is the 999 01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:44,400 thing is uh we need to make sure that and that is what I I I want him and and 1000 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:50,080 somebody else to come up with the language and bring it to us on a study 1001 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:58,800 session of the city council to present that to the US and to the public so the 1002 01:38:53,599 --> 01:39:04,679 public can put input on that so uh he if if he told me he can do it I'll say fine 1003 01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:10,040 but I know that the you know the stot have some other duties to do so I don't 1004 01:39:06,599 --> 01:39:16,440 want to put all this into his plate uh and I think maybe there is 1005 01:39:13,239 --> 01:39:21,320 some language there that could be improved and I and that's what I'm 1006 01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:24,920 looking for to the chair one one more last thing one more last thing would it 1007 01:39:22,679 --> 01:39:28,719 be that it's the uh you're suggesting the 1008 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:33,199 consultant that was uh that was here that did the presentation no no no the 1009 01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:36,760 one that suggesting not nobody could it be magically he's going to appear the 1010 01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:43,639 one that has done work for the city of Carson I didn't say nobody okay somebody 1011 01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:49,800 I said go ahead consult to the chair um I suggest that we further discuss this 1012 01:39:46,599 --> 01:39:55,119 in a Clos session no we cannot can we do that no cannot um it has to be you know 1013 01:39:52,960 --> 01:40:01,040 open session I and let me just say this cuz you know I'm not I've been a City 1014 01:39:58,679 --> 01:40:05,960 attorney for 3 years and I I don't profess to be an expert on every topic 1015 01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:12,080 there are topics that I am very familiar with uh ballot measure and Charter is is 1016 01:40:09,239 --> 01:40:16,119 a is a new area so I'm not going to say and represent to you in fact when we 1017 01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:20,560 first brought that ballot measure two years ago we used a law firm a reputable 1018 01:40:18,719 --> 01:40:26,960 Law Firm Richard won Gan that the city has always relied on from Municipal law 1019 01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:33,000 to to give guidance to the council and basically we approach with a simple 1020 01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:37,800 Charter it appears that whoever that and it really doesn't matter to me if the 1021 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:41,639 city council wants to select another consultant to help us with the charter 1022 01:40:40,159 --> 01:40:47,800 provision this isn't I don't have personal stake in this um however I 1023 01:40:44,719 --> 01:40:53,520 think whoever it may be I don't think the consultant should recommend this is 1024 01:40:51,199 --> 01:40:57,840 what city of Hawthorne should adopt in the charter provision because this 1025 01:40:56,080 --> 01:41:02,679 Charter is a restriction it's a constitution a restriction of authority 1026 01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:07,960 on city council itself okay because it's above the ordinance it's like the city's 1027 01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:14,199 Constitution so this should be something in my personal opinion if I if I may it 1028 01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:20,560 should be something that the council has an certain idea and concept of what we 1029 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:24,920 want in the charter before we hire a consultant that's going to dictate to us 1030 01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:29,480 to the Council as to what should be in the charter that's that's I mean that's 1031 01:41:27,159 --> 01:41:32,960 my opinion on things so if you know it doesn't matter if you want to hire a 1032 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:38,040 consultant to give you recommendations but there should be some idea from the 1033 01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:42,440 Council of what kind of Charter provision you want you we did have fused 1034 01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:45,880 a simple Charter from two years ago there were Provisions in there so I 1035 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:49,119 think uh council members should already have an idea what they would like to 1036 01:41:47,159 --> 01:41:56,639 place on the charter so why not discuss that today so to the chair yes so what 1037 01:41:53,480 --> 01:42:01,320 are we asking for right now to vote on well you see the thing is that that is 1038 01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:06,639 what I want a study session I don't know if you guys understand what this a study 1039 01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:11,000 session is a study session is for because we cannot do this in the close 1040 01:42:08,639 --> 01:42:17,280 session we have to do a study session where all of us will be present open to 1041 01:42:13,679 --> 01:42:22,159 the public to come and and do uh public comments and then that is where we would 1042 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:25,520 you know whatever going to give us advice 1043 01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:29,960 it could be Mr Kim it could be somebody else and then we can say no we do as a 1044 01:42:27,679 --> 01:42:36,159 council member we don't agree on this so then we would discuss what is going to 1045 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:40,320 be that language on a on an open study session of a city council meeting that 1046 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:46,480 will have all of us here present with the public comes to put the input that 1047 01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:52,800 we would begin to draft the language so to the chair so I'm saying my question 1048 01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:56,920 is what are we voting on tonight like right now to move forward can I please 1049 01:42:55,440 --> 01:43:00,520 through the chair I'm sorry I was going to say Can council member Patterson 1050 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:04,480 please I'm like poor guy he's been sitting there for a minute be patient 1051 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:11,080 thank you okay um whenever we ask uh our city manager 1052 01:43:07,719 --> 01:43:13,599 any questions uh he's sometimes the one that answers those questions sometimes 1053 01:43:12,480 --> 01:43:18,159 he's not the one that answers those questions the usually the the route that 1054 01:43:15,480 --> 01:43:22,320 we take is the subject matter expert will advise the council and give us our 1055 01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:27,440 options and then we'll make a decision based upon that right right Mr Kim is uh 1056 01:43:25,239 --> 01:43:34,320 indicated this not his area expertise he he hired a outside firm last time who 1057 01:43:32,239 --> 01:43:38,840 it's debatable with their area expertise the presentations that we saw about the 1058 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:43,920 charter made it very evident about areas of expertise um on this particular topic 1059 01:43:42,199 --> 01:43:48,599 I think it's a great idea to find a subject matter expert who were this is 1060 01:43:46,119 --> 01:43:54,920 what they do as opposed to somebody that does a lot of stuff right you know when 1061 01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:58,320 it comes to um our health you want to get our foot 1062 01:43:56,320 --> 01:44:03,280 operated on you're probably not going to depend solely on a general practitioner 1063 01:44:00,639 --> 01:44:07,560 but you're go to a patress and so I think it's a good idea to get a subject 1064 01:44:04,679 --> 01:44:11,920 matter expert to provide guidance to the council so the council can make the 1065 01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:17,159 decisions and and vote and move forward so I I support uh Mr montero's council 1066 01:44:14,599 --> 01:44:20,440 member montero's suggestion of moving forward with a 1067 01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:23,560 charter proposal for the council to vote on utilizing study sessions utilizing a 1068 01:44:22,639 --> 01:44:31,960 professional consultant to help us do so to the 1069 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:37,880 chair thank you mayor um so I would like uh to just uh add to that with regards 1070 01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:43,679 to uh finding a consultant I'd like the city manager and instruct the city 1071 01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:49,320 manager to do that um my reasoning for not so much um supporting or uh having 1072 01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:54,000 the current City attorney do it is for the same you know reason there's you 1073 01:44:51,760 --> 01:45:01,920 know there could be bias there could be you know things that maybe again not 1074 01:44:56,679 --> 01:45:09,199 familiar with uh not quite uh um experienced okay um I know he's a great 1075 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:13,840 prosecutor but at the end of the day I think Independence is very important and 1076 01:45:11,119 --> 01:45:21,159 some of the attorneys that we've had suggested from uh the attorney's office 1077 01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:26,840 are ongoing recommendations that have long longevity here I mean it I mean 1078 01:45:24,679 --> 01:45:33,719 it's like the same name over and over and over and over again I I I enjoy that 1079 01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:37,760 entity working with those entities but for as long as I've been here and as 1080 01:45:35,159 --> 01:45:44,440 long as some of these recommended um you know councils outside Council it's it's 1081 01:45:41,159 --> 01:45:49,159 just good to have new fresh information especially if there's cities that are 1082 01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:54,080 Charters and they've used certain Consultants or they've um implemented 1083 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:59,440 certain things I would like for the study session to take place absolutely 1084 01:45:56,520 --> 01:46:04,159 but more importantly I want to do a a feasibility or a study from all of the 1085 01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:09,119 charter cities to see what languages are in their uh current LA uh Charter uh 1086 01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:13,679 what types of uh things that were implemented in in their language so 1087 01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:19,119 that's a lot of work and that's a lot of time and I really doubt that you know 1088 01:46:16,679 --> 01:46:26,960 there's that time available to do that um currently so I I would agree um 1089 01:46:23,119 --> 01:46:29,280 um and and a further just uh support going 1090 01:46:30,119 --> 01:46:41,280 forward so um so I made the motion so uh Mr parison second right I'll 1091 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:41,280 second I'll second 1092 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:46,760 it I'll please 1093 01:46:49,639 --> 01:46:56,920 vote the votes are in 1094 01:46:54,480 --> 01:47:02,199 the voting reflects Council voting yes Mr Mayor votes no right thank you so I 1095 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:06,080 guess now it's the appropriate moment for me to make my councel because uh my 1096 01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:09,480 comments I guess the community and the residents saw that uh we already had a 1097 01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:16,000 majority that was willing to support this it was very clear and that's pretty 1098 01:47:12,480 --> 01:47:20,480 concerning to me uh and you the residents uh comments were made today 1099 01:47:18,719 --> 01:47:25,520 that there were naysayers uh that there was naysayers 1100 01:47:23,119 --> 01:47:34,440 who have been uh putting information out there 18 months ago 61% of the residents 1101 01:47:30,040 --> 01:47:34,440 voted against this 61% to 1102 01:47:34,599 --> 01:47:42,599 39 we're we're we're we're coming up with this fox idea of having a study 1103 01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:49,800 session the study session that you needed took place 18 months ago it was 1104 01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:53,639 voted down I mean there's uh and then kind of some faults that you saw when 1105 01:47:51,239 --> 01:48:00,840 some of uh my colleagues are arguments today our City attorney can't do it he's 1106 01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:05,599 too busy no he can't do it so let's hire a consultant so he can massage the 1107 01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:11,000 language a little bit more so it can pass so you guys will be able to vote 1108 01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:14,880 for it and deceive you with all these hidden uh things that they that the 1109 01:48:13,239 --> 01:48:21,119 council colleagues my Council colleagues may have it didn't pass guys and it's 1110 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:25,560 it's it's fule to do things over and over and expect different result I think 1111 01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:30,760 Albert Einstein mentioned that right I think I referred to it the the 1112 01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:35,440 definition of insanity is trying things over and over and expecting a different 1113 01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:40,400 results and that's what I see Happening Here one other thing why should we have 1114 01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:44,760 sessions why should we get get a consultant shouldn't my Council 1115 01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:49,480 colleagues be fully convinced as to how this is going to benefit and already be 1116 01:48:47,119 --> 01:48:53,040 aware of all the things that they like to include in a charter that would 1117 01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:57,159 benefit the city so let's hire a consultant let's have a study session 1118 01:48:54,719 --> 01:49:04,040 let's see what else we can throw in there I think that's uh pretty 1119 01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:09,080 flawed so it's false this will not help us protect us from the Statewide 1120 01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:14,040 mandates that have uh that they've put forth with SP sp9 with sp9 SP 1121 01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:18,719 sp10 if you look at the news you guys already hear over and over that U 1122 01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:23,599 there's been challenges to Huntington beaches uh uh trying to uh push against 1123 01:49:22,199 --> 01:49:28,000 the state and other cities have been forced 1124 01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:32,560 into uh opposing other cities have been forced 1125 01:49:30,679 --> 01:49:36,800 to feel the wrath of the state coming down on them imposing all these things 1126 01:49:34,119 --> 01:49:41,080 to do that's a false statement I don't need to convince you guys uh come 1127 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:44,800 November you guys would know what to do uh this is uh not a good idea for the 1128 01:49:43,719 --> 01:49:50,040 city so I want to go on the record today to 1129 01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:56,560 all the residents in Hawthorne that I'm completely and 100 opposed 100% opposed 1130 01:49:53,800 --> 01:50:01,520 to the city Charter being placed on the ballot again in any shape or 1131 01:49:59,159 --> 01:50:06,760 form and I'm going to stand with you guys who voted not only 60% to 40 uh to 1132 01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:12,560 39 it's going to be even more of a defeat this time because you 1133 01:50:09,440 --> 01:50:17,639 are smart you don't need to be fooled by a consultant massaging a words to try to 1134 01:50:14,719 --> 01:50:22,880 make it digestible and taking away power from you 1135 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:25,960 actually and giving it to the council do I need to remind you of Charter cities 1136 01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:30,480 like the City of Bell do I need to remind you of the charter uh cities like 1137 01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:35,000 San berardino and so many others that have gone down the road of punition I 1138 01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:39,880 don't need to do that so instead of wasting the resident's money put on 1139 01:50:37,480 --> 01:50:45,159 putting this on the ballot again and wasting valuable time and laughing at 1140 01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:49,239 our City attorney saying that he can't do the job we should be focused on 1141 01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:53,239 issues that matter like solving the homelessness issue the uh parking 1142 01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:57,440 situation uh policing issues and housing issues 1143 01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:04,440 isn't that what we're all concerned about so I'm 1144 01:50:59,719 --> 01:51:09,079 completely 100% opposed to this and I want to let my colleagues know that I 1145 01:51:07,079 --> 01:51:13,719 will make sure that the residents know who exactly put this on the ballot I 1146 01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:17,560 will remind this and I will hang this over your neck with a sign saying that 1147 01:51:16,159 --> 01:51:23,560 you're the ones that were responsible for putting this on their on the ballot 1148 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:26,320 once more that's all I have to 1149 01:51:28,180 --> 01:51:34,639 [Applause] say let's move on to the next item 1150 01:51:32,480 --> 01:51:39,400 Council M Montero please proceed with item 21 thank you Mr Mayor before like 1151 01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:44,480 actually this is going to give you a clear 1152 01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:51,840 example of our mayor leadership because talking 1153 01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:58,480 about 19 months ago this talk about this the ch 1154 01:51:53,119 --> 01:52:05,199 right but he voted to put on a ballot he was all in favor of it was 1155 01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:11,679 myself Alex Montero and Miss Valentine was the only one who opposed this 1156 01:52:07,599 --> 01:52:16,560 Charter in 2022 Mr Mayor voted to put on the 1157 01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:25,119 ballot he put it on the ballot for 75,000 salary a year when he only show 1158 01:52:20,480 --> 01:52:29,480 up in City Hall two meetings a month 1159 01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:34,920 $75,000 that was that child was defeated it was not because he's trying 1160 01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:38,920 to protect the city no he's doing harm to the 1161 01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:44,400 city let me tell you the reason that the next item they were we were supposed to 1162 01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:51,679 do this in January now we are in April four months 1163 01:52:48,760 --> 01:52:57,679 we supposed to do reorganization of this Council who represent us in outside 1164 01:52:54,440 --> 01:53:02,440 board who will become the mayor proam we supposed to be done the first meeting in 1165 01:52:59,440 --> 01:53:08,320 January now we on the first meee in April it has not been done that is why I 1166 01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:12,920 brought it up and we don't need to change nothing at this point because 1167 01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:19,119 it's been already four months already and then the second one we do not have 1168 01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:24,079 full Commissioners because Mr Mayor refused 1169 01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:30,040 to nominate some people we have people that have applied for commission and 1170 01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:35,639 he's deciding who and who not have to be appointed and he knows because some of 1171 01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:40,679 the people that he has appoint was his friends and this Council 1172 01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:45,639 rejected but if you become a charter City it's not just the mayor who 1173 01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:51,440 appoint all the council members will be able to appoint commission then right 1174 01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:55,760 now we have project sto at the planning department at the Planning Commission 1175 01:53:53,639 --> 01:54:01,040 because we do not have the corn and I want to give a director to 1176 01:53:58,079 --> 01:54:04,679 the city manage that if the if the plans from the planning department are not 1177 01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:09,440 moving forward just bring it to the city council and we vote for without the 1178 01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:15,679 Planning Commission because Mr May refusing to appoint 1179 01:54:12,239 --> 01:54:20,760 Commissioners so that is why I said we need to char 1180 01:54:18,079 --> 01:54:27,360 City because there is no leadership 4 months to do 1181 01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:31,760 reorganization Commissioners we don't have full five Commissioners in a lot of 1182 01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:37,280 our commissioners so he's talking about 1183 01:54:34,239 --> 01:54:43,760 hanging people out there on the election so then people of should think about it 1184 01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:50,040 do we want to vote also for the for the next mayor that have not have shown 1185 01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:54,000 leadership since 2009 has he been sitting in this 1186 01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:59,400 Council so do not stop with me Mr Mayor because 1187 01:54:57,280 --> 01:55:03,000 if you're going to attack us and I was the one who has been protecting the city 1188 01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:09,639 for 25 years and I've been there on the street 1189 01:55:05,639 --> 01:55:17,040 seven seven days seven you know almost 247 protecting the 1190 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:21,320 city so when you talk about truth be honest because you voted to put the 1191 01:55:19,599 --> 01:55:27,560 ballot in 2020 because they had a salary of 1192 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:33,880 $75,000 okay so I will so again this list of appointed I'm not asking I'm not 1193 01:55:30,639 --> 01:55:37,840 finish that's my it's my discussion it's my discussion you were discussing you 1194 01:55:35,679 --> 01:55:40,760 were discussing the previous item I'm going back to my discuss you were 1195 01:55:39,239 --> 01:55:43,599 discussing the previous item City attorney was he referring and all his 1196 01:55:42,239 --> 01:55:48,760 comments directed towards the previous item com it's all combined I I think we 1197 01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:54,159 should move on to the next item which is I'll respond to everything gave us the 1198 01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:59,560 list uh and I I'm not proposing for us to do any changes because it's 4 months 1199 01:55:56,199 --> 01:56:03,280 already in in the year uh I'm glad to represent the city in all these 1200 01:56:00,880 --> 01:56:09,440 committees but if anybody wants to make some changes and but this was supposed 1201 01:56:05,639 --> 01:56:15,599 to be done in January now is April nine through the chair I stopped through the 1202 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:17,960 chair yes I'm fine with uh my current committee 1203 01:56:18,239 --> 01:56:25,040 assignments are we in a position to rotate this we said we were going to 1204 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:31,119 rotating the mayor prm's position every year uh so if there's a natural 1205 01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:35,480 selection I think Council woman Katrina Manny should be receiving that is that 1206 01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:42,360 something we can move on can we agendize that Mr City Mr city 1207 01:56:39,719 --> 01:56:47,119 manager or Mr City attorney I think that's on the agenda as a discussion 1208 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:51,480 action is I believe the mayor proem as a discussion action I but we can't vote on 1209 01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:56,360 that specific discussion action action is something that you could vote on so 1210 01:56:53,239 --> 01:57:02,840 I'd just like to uh pass on the uh the duties to councilwoman Katrina 1211 01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:09,840 Manning on the uh mayor prot position I ha okay please vote on that 1212 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,840 specific 1213 01:57:21,159 --> 01:57:24,159 item 1214 01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:30,520 the votes are the votes are in the voting reflects mayor and Council 1215 01:57:29,239 --> 01:57:36,520 voting yes congratulations 1216 01:57:33,599 --> 01:57:41,159 goodin thank you all right folks so uh I'm going to 1217 01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:46,639 address the comments that my colleague uh council member Montero made uh they 1218 01:57:43,599 --> 01:57:50,840 were related to the previous item 20 and I thank you actually for bringing up the 1219 01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:54,599 fact that yeah I dis support putting that item on the charter of Charter at 1220 01:57:53,320 --> 01:58:00,840 the last election and it was a 1221 01:57:57,199 --> 01:58:07,840 mistake it was a mistake to have put it on there so now if we continue making 1222 01:58:05,079 --> 01:58:15,639 the same mistakes I think that there's a problem and we've learned with this that 1223 01:58:11,679 --> 01:58:21,199 the community is against the charter and I simply support the community on this 1224 01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:24,840 and it's going to be a unfortunately you're going to have a lot of people 1225 01:58:22,119 --> 01:58:29,520 people and I'm going to make sure that I if we hire a consultant to massage the 1226 01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:33,040 language I'll let you guys know exactly what's being going I I'll let you guys 1227 01:58:31,159 --> 01:58:37,040 know what's being hidden I'll let you know exactly what the repercussions 1228 01:58:34,920 --> 01:58:43,639 could be we learned from that and we learned that the community doesn't want 1229 01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:49,719 it so that's a big learning uh opportunity and we 1230 01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:53,400 learned and you're right actually the commissions we wouldn't have been in 1231 01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:57,480 this predict if my Council colleagues would have called for removing our 1232 01:58:55,719 --> 01:59:03,119 commissioners in the first place when we had a great operating 1233 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:09,760 commissions so now uh the claims are made that it's heavily on me that I 1234 01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:14,840 haven't n i nominated people I nominate many people and you know what M uh Mr M 1235 01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:19,840 Actually I don't even want to address you I know a lot of people in the 1236 01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:24,840 community it's inevitable that I will know people I know Miss Ruby Co 1237 01:59:22,599 --> 01:59:28,520 I know for her for a very long time I know Jennifer hon for a very long time 1238 01:59:27,239 --> 01:59:33,960 and there were two people that you guys voted for they're my 1239 01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:38,079 friends so I think perpetuating the issue with the commission and the 1240 01:59:35,239 --> 01:59:42,760 Planning Commission issues is something that was initiated by individuals like 1241 01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:47,480 yourself council member Montero and others on this Council so um I think we 1242 01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:51,880 need to be careful so I'll be looking at the applications and I'll and I'll be 1243 01:59:49,520 --> 01:59:55,360 suggesting people very soon so don't worry we'll take care of that we'll see 1244 01:59:53,199 --> 02:00:00,920 where you guys lie when it comes to that so 1245 01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:05,760 uh so no on the charter make sure you guys tell your friends uh we have 1246 02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:11,639 elected officials reports and recommendations City 1247 02:00:07,679 --> 02:00:11,639 treasur Marie poex 1248 02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:25,639 hornbach that was tough to

kind of the 1359 02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:29,000 Moon getting in front of the sun uh it was uh I I find that stuff kind of cool 1360 02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:33,639 bit of a nerd I went and found a location where there was uh not in 1361 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:39,520 California I think our La was like 57% coverage of the sun um I went to Porto 1362 02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:43,119 viarta and it was like 95% coverage of the sun which was really really cool but 1363 02:10:41,719 --> 02:10:47,199 I wish I would have went I was able to make it to Dallas or or somewhere over 1364 02:10:45,040 --> 02:10:52,040 there where was 100% coverage know in those areas it went from day to night in 1365 02:10:50,119 --> 02:10:56,119 the middle of the day and I think it's just a 1366 02:10:53,079 --> 02:11:02,520 spectacular reminder of our place in the universe uh when things like that align 1367 02:10:59,400 --> 02:11:07,159 and um I I'm sure our schools took that as opportunity to teach our youth more 1368 02:11:05,079 --> 02:11:10,520 about you know our world and where we're at in the 1369 02:11:08,239 --> 02:11:14,360 universe um I'd like to make a directive to staff give me a moment I have some 1370 02:11:11,840 --> 02:11:14,360 notes in my 1371 02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:23,040 phone I want to ask the staff to bring in ordinance concerning the handling of 1372 02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:27,679 policy Val violations within City within the city excuse me whether it be staff 1373 02:11:25,239 --> 02:11:33,159 or elected officials um and 1374 02:11:31,079 --> 02:11:37,440 definitely uh look forward to have an opportunity to uh welcome some new 1375 02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:43,719 Commissioners to our commissions I understand our um Planning Commission 1376 02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:48,320 has not been meeting very often I think over the last 12 scheduled meetings that 1377 02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:53,880 we only had four uh meetings where there's a quorum So I myself see the 1378 02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:57,800 value of having uh five people on that on that commission instead of just a 1379 02:11:55,559 --> 02:12:03,480 bare minimum of three is obviously not working for us so looking forward to uh 1380 02:12:01,239 --> 02:12:08,159 rounding out uh these commissions and I want to encourage our 1381 02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:13,719 community to apply to these commissions right our city literally cannot run 1382 02:12:10,920 --> 02:12:16,840 effectively without your contribution and your 1383 02:12:14,559 --> 02:12:20,880 volunteerism and uh representing your community on these commissions and 1384 02:12:18,159 --> 02:12:26,320 Boards so um I want to thank you guys again for uh coming out hope you guys 1385 02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:26,320 have a great rest of your 1386 02:12:27,239 --> 02:12:36,520 week councilwoman Andie radius English thank you mayor and 1387 02:12:32,800 --> 02:12:43,119 congratulations Katrina thank you um let me just make uh a few 1388 02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:48,000 observations so I've been really championing um and providing information 1389 02:12:45,719 --> 02:12:52,440 with regards to the California Utilities Commission uh 1390 02:12:49,679 --> 02:12:57,440 Edison um there was not very many people that signed up to take the bus so that 1391 02:12:54,559 --> 02:13:03,760 we could go and speak against the uh rate payer increases on Wednesday the 1392 02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:11,119 10th coming up at uh the CPU starting at 2m in Long Beach however I um I appeal 1393 02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:16,800 to you as a resident as a constituent more importantly a rate payer of 1394 02:13:13,480 --> 02:13:20,599 utilities to speak your voice um the legislatures in Sacramento have 1395 02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:26,239 authorized the cpuc to enact an income based fix fixed El uh electric utility 1396 02:13:23,480 --> 02:13:30,280 charge the income base fixed charges the first globally was voted through 1397 02:13:28,119 --> 02:13:34,960 Sacramento legislators with an assembly Bill 1398 02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:42,440 205 now the CPU is considering a monthly charge of 20 to 34 and if you remember 1399 02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:42,440 they wanted to give us charges 1400 02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:50,040 $51 uh but let me give you some more information the 20 to $34 for households 1401 02:13:47,520 --> 02:13:57,159 making uh income less of 69,000 um to 1402 02:13:52,840 --> 02:14:03,079 $51 and and and up to $73 for households making 1403 02:13:58,960 --> 02:14:09,880 $69,000 or uh up to1 180 and $85 to 1404 02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:15,239 $128 for households over incomes of 180,000 you know um and this is 1405 02:14:13,079 --> 02:14:20,400 something recently the public utilities uh commission uh has offered less but at 1406 02:14:17,880 --> 02:14:24,800 the end of the day um it's not good enough you know we have we're in a 1407 02:14:22,400 --> 02:14:28,639 recession there's there's inflation there's people losing their jobs there's 1408 02:14:26,400 --> 02:14:33,920 people losing their housing people can't afford uh even milk or eggs or groceries 1409 02:14:31,920 --> 02:14:40,000 um people can't even afford the gas and gas continues to increase and here 1410 02:14:36,119 --> 02:14:44,239 you've got the the utilities um entities wanting to increase your utility bills 1411 02:14:42,559 --> 02:14:49,719 we have vulnerable indiv individuals that are housebound with um equipment 1412 02:14:47,199 --> 02:14:54,360 that requires their utilities um you have individuals that are are vulnerable 1413 02:14:51,760 --> 02:14:58,719 don't speak English or other languages not going to know what's coming you have 1414 02:14:56,440 --> 02:15:03,239 people fixed on Social Security and other disability income so you know at 1415 02:15:01,639 --> 02:15:06,760 the end of the day this is not the time to make increases to the people of 1416 02:15:05,079 --> 02:15:11,960 California little loan Hawthorne residents and so I really want to appeal 1417 02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:16,679 to those that can make the commission um hearing the cup commission hearing to 1418 02:15:14,559 --> 02:15:21,679 please go make a stance um I'm a voice and I'm a voice 1419 02:15:19,599 --> 02:15:26,920 for all but I'm only one individual ual you could really make a difference when 1420 02:15:23,040 --> 02:15:33,559 you go in numbers and uh this is coming and they want to do this 25 through 28 1421 02:15:30,520 --> 02:15:38,719 2025 through 2028 what are they going to do in 2028 they're going to do it again 1422 02:15:36,119 --> 02:15:43,880 and again you have to remember the utilities commissions uh CPU here's all 1423 02:15:42,199 --> 02:15:48,440 utilities and telephone and anything having to do with utilities how you're 1424 02:15:46,079 --> 02:15:53,800 receiving either energy how you're receiving your your phone calls if you 1425 02:15:50,079 --> 02:15:58,639 still have a landline etc etc and um this is not the time and uh I really 1426 02:15:56,520 --> 02:16:03,440 think that um there's a disconnect but more importantly it's very um 1427 02:16:01,040 --> 02:16:08,119 disheartening to know that this went through the legislature and where we're 1428 02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:12,360 at today and I do have people calling me and asking me questions and i i r i 1429 02:16:10,440 --> 02:16:17,079 don't have those answers unfortunately I'm just providing information as I'm 1430 02:16:14,559 --> 02:16:21,159 getting information so I'm using this platform to speak to the people of 1431 02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:26,199 Hawthorne that your utilities are going to be increased and and and you know 1432 02:16:24,040 --> 02:16:30,800 maybe coming out in numbers will make a difference and they could hold off to 1433 02:16:27,760 --> 02:16:36,200 give you time to um to know that and to to give you time to make your 1434 02:16:32,280 --> 02:16:40,080 adjustments uh as needed but um 2025 um you know I'm going to say it 1435 02:16:38,639 --> 02:16:45,439 again um it's it's it's it's it's something 1436 02:16:42,880 --> 02:16:49,319 that we just need to really um you know speak against and and I'm going to be 1437 02:16:48,280 --> 02:16:52,599 going out there I'm not going to be on the bus because we cancel the bus 1438 02:16:50,639 --> 02:16:58,200 because there

11808 wiie I know I spoke 1535 02:24:49,040 --> 02:24:56,560 with you and my neighbors are here so I just wanted um you to give them an 1536 02:24:54,200 --> 02:25:02,160 update that we talked about yes 1537 02:24:58,960 --> 02:25:07,240 please so we um the assistant City attorney Sean Las was on this task and I 1538 02:25:05,399 --> 02:25:11,479 don't want to get into too much detail because there are certain options that 1539 02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:17,680 the city has in terms of nuisance that's created there um in terms of the removal 1540 02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:23,680 of the vehicles we were trying to have them voluntarily REM remove them first 1541 02:25:20,479 --> 02:25:27,319 which they did um at the same time we they I think they're aware that we're 1542 02:25:25,279 --> 02:25:31,200 also seeking a warrant the city can't just go in there and start you know 1543 02:25:29,040 --> 02:25:36,439 taking things out of uh people's private property we got to have court orders to 1544 02:25:33,560 --> 02:25:43,160 do so so that's uh being s simultaneously being taken we were told 1545 02:25:39,319 --> 02:25:47,319 by the um I guess the person that uh is responsible for the property that they 1546 02:25:45,439 --> 02:25:51,399 would have certain they would go through certain uh procedure with the DMV so 1547 02:25:49,439 --> 02:25:55,680 that the vehicles could be removed I understand I saw the photographs of the 1548 02:25:53,720 --> 02:26:01,840 three vehicles I think one of the vehicles is not really a nuisance type 1549 02:25:59,120 --> 02:26:05,680 that um the SUV that seems like in a better shape right it's the I think the 1550 02:26:04,080 --> 02:26:10,800 problem is the two vehicles in the driveway and maybe the condition of the 1551 02:26:07,960 --> 02:26:15,399 house itself but the out of those two vehicles I understand that uh one of 1552 02:26:12,840 --> 02:26:20,840 them has been removed and there is one left and you know we we prefer to work 1553 02:26:18,920 --> 02:26:25,680 with the owners to try to have it removed but I understand there's you 1554 02:26:22,640 --> 02:26:32,080 know times been taken up um so we do have another option of getting a court 1555 02:26:27,720 --> 02:26:39,080 order to do so um but um if if at all possible I I we prefer to have the 1556 02:26:36,120 --> 02:26:44,439 property owners cooperate with the city and take care of the issues okay so um 1557 02:26:42,359 --> 02:26:49,040 because the otherwise the legal procedures takes 1558 02:26:46,240 --> 02:26:54,840 time so that's the current status right now thank thank you um I have two more 1559 02:26:52,760 --> 02:26:58,200 things um 1560 02:26:56,399 --> 02:27:04,560 so um city manager i' like to give you a 1561 02:27:01,720 --> 02:27:12,600

that we is being very visible in 1611 02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:30,279 the city we're seeing all the light poles Akbar right all the light poles 1612 02:31:28,760 --> 02:31:34,600 they kind of seem taller right you guys have noticed them they're uh I saw them 1613 02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:40,359 on 120 they're my parents house but they're all elsewhere so they're taller 1614 02:31:37,680 --> 02:31:44,319 um it's using uh more energy they're taller they're taller than the previous 1615 02:31:41,880 --> 02:31:51,880 ones right akar yes the the traffic signal right 1616 02:31:47,800 --> 02:31:56,479 now is taller and uh safety light is like three four feet taller they're 1617 02:31:54,040 --> 02:32:01,319 taller and so the the light's efficient and it covers a lot of uh area so it's 1618 02:31:58,560 --> 02:32:06,800 like you go outside and it's no longer dark it's brighter but it's not like 1619 02:32:04,800 --> 02:32:11,840 bright in the sense that it's going to distract any drivers or or distract you 1620 02:32:10,040 --> 02:32:17,479 if you're walking or it's it's a comfortable and it's a regulated light 1621 02:32:14,399 --> 02:32:22,520 that's uh well intentioned right yes sir they are LED and they are lighter right 1622 02:32:20,479 --> 02:32:28,680 yeah so this is good thank you thank you for that effort and seeking the funding 1623 02:32:26,240 --> 02:32:34,520 together with our city manager and staff that put and yourself and your staff for 1624 02:32:31,600 --> 02:32:38,960 putting all the grants in for those those upgrades so definitely we're 1625 02:32:36,960 --> 02:32:43,240 improving our city uh we're changing our logo and then we're just changing even 1626 02:32:41,279 --> 02:32:48,560 some of the technology within our city so I think that's a very 1627 02:32:45,279 --> 02:32:51,560 important uh the eclipse everybody saw the eclipse or heard about about the 1628 02:32:50,120 --> 02:32:55,160 eclipse and everybody was talking about it oh the eclipse the eclipse all the 1629 02:32:53,279 --> 02:32:59,880 total everybody all of a sudden everybody's so familiar with the new 1630 02:32:56,880 --> 02:33:04,399 word totality all the totality the bth of totality so everybody's a scientist 1631 02:33:02,040 --> 02:33:09,240 all I I kind of put on my Facebook hey whatever happened to uh whatever 1632 02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:13,720 happened to the phrase total eclipse right but then I got a lot of my 1633 02:33:12,080 --> 02:33:17,680 friends that say oh you're thinking of the song Total Eclipse of the Heart 1634 02:33:15,560 --> 02:33:22,240 right so they were kind of being goofy but uh it was like Eclipse fever you 1635 02:33:20,800 --> 02:33:26,760 know and everybody was excited about it my sister who lives in uh 1636 02:33:24,319 --> 02:33:30,840 Texas uh was able to see it with her with my nephew and they sent us video so 1637 02:33:28,680 --> 02:33:38,200 it's like it's kind of spooky it is spooky and I actually had 1638 02:33:34,680 --> 02:33:41,880 people that were that were calling me and saying hey maybe we should like 1639 02:33:39,720 --> 02:33:44,840 already like uh get your all your Provisions ready something's going to 1640 02:33:43,439 --> 02:33:50,399 change everything's going to things are going to go down you know put fuel in 1641 02:33:46,880 --> 02:33:55,720 your car be ready to drive out into the country or I don't know it seemed like 1642 02:33:51,720 --> 02:33:59,760 it was going to be like like uh what the Yeah like like the demise of the world 1643 02:33:58,560 --> 02:34:06,359 but it wasn't so oh this one's important the 1644 02:34:03,279 --> 02:34:12,240 uh the 99 set Only Stores everybody heard about that and uh it was it's kind 1645 02:34:10,040 --> 02:34:18,200 of sad hearing about that but it seems It's symptomatic about what's going 1646 02:34:14,560 --> 02:34:22,240 on uh just the price of doing business but a big factor that the owner ERS of 1647 02:34:20,399 --> 02:34:28,000 the chain mentioned were that uh there's just a 1648 02:34:25,760 --> 02:34:28,000 lot of 1649 02:34:29,200 --> 02:34:35,040 shoplifting I mean right shoplifting I work in a jail guys I mean I'm not don't 1650 02:34:33,800 --> 02:34:38,720 throw it in there just to throw it in there in this case but we don't get 1651 02:34:36,920 --> 02:34:42,920 people who are shoplifting coming in through through through the jail being 1652 02:34:40,880 --> 02:34:48,640 prosecuted for that because they're getting away with it they're getting 1653 02:34:45,080 --> 02:34:54,640 away with it if you steal less than $950 well at the at 99 Only Store that'd 1654 02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:59,720 be like 950 items right but come on man if you're like 1655 02:34:57,319 --> 02:35:04,760 stealing every P every dollar every penny every it starts adding up and it's 1656 02:35:02,479 --> 02:35:10,720 becomes hard for people to do business and when we have our we have our uh our 1657 02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:15,200 district attorney not being able to either choosing not to prosecute it or 1658 02:35:12,319 --> 02:35:20,240 not having the tools because the uh threshold is 1659 02:35:16,680 --> 02:35:23,640 $950 that's pretty sad we have our targets remember we referred to the 1660 02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:28,279 targets having like the glass counters over there your near your neighborhood 1661 02:35:25,880 --> 02:35:35,840 right that's sad it's all result of the $950 threshold and I'm sorry we have our 1662 02:35:33,160 --> 02:35:39,760 state senator oh he's already on his way out so we'll have to talk to the next 1663 02:35:37,160 --> 02:35:45,040 state senator that comes to place our uh assembly woman our uh new state senator 1664 02:35:43,200 --> 02:35:48,600 and all those people in the state need to get their act together and start 1665 02:35:47,080 --> 02:35:52,040 thinking about what we need to do because there need to be some uh 1666 02:35:50,279 --> 02:35:55,800 repercussions for taking stuff that's not 1667 02:35:52,880 --> 02:35:59,760 yours things have changed so much that now it's okay to steal and you got the 1668 02:35:57,399 --> 02:36:04,720 same repeat offenders same repeat offenders they come in the morning and 1669 02:36:01,760 --> 02:36:08,840 then they come at night and no because it's under the threshold it's under the 1670 02:36:06,359 --> 02:36:12,800 threshold and why don't why don't things happen be why don't we get involved 1671 02:36:11,319 --> 02:36:16,120 because they don't want to call anymore because they're afraid of that that 1672 02:36:14,640 --> 02:36:20,240 we're not going to be prosecuting because we don't have any teeth to do 1673 02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:23,279 anything so I think we need to be very careful we need to push our state 1674 02:36:21,520 --> 02:36:28,800 officials to get their act together and reduce that threshold and 1675 02:36:26,359 --> 02:36:33,680 give the tools and the ability for our uh Pro prosecution within the county 1676 02:36:31,319 --> 02:36:38,600 within the city the tools to be able to go after this stuff because it's when 1677 02:36:36,080 --> 02:36:41,720 something's not yours it's not yours pretty 1678 02:36:39,359 --> 02:36:46,200 simple all right this whole little covid excuse thing that oh everybody's going 1679 02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:50,600 through covid and why are prices going up because it's harder for businesses to 1680 02:36:48,680 --> 02:36:56,279 keep you the stay afloat because people are stealing getting away with 1681 02:36:53,000 --> 02:37:01,840 stuff it's like a cycle so once you just cap that off when it comes to the uh 1682 02:36:59,479 --> 02:37:06,359 thresholds you watch things start coming back and people able a are able to make 1683 02:37:04,040 --> 02:37:11,640 ends meet and keep their businesses afloat okay so we need to be smart on 1684 02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:15,399 who we vote in because the pendulum is going to swing in the other direction on 1685 02:37:13,399 --> 02:37:18,520 some of the stuff at the state level all right people are going to get frustrated 1686 02:37:16,640 --> 02:37:23,120 unfortunately you guys some people might think that that's going to happen at the 1687 02:37:19,880 --> 02:37:27,960 federal level too we were you know uh we just I think we just need to 1688 02:37:25,920 --> 02:37:31,920 be conscious of who we elect and who's going to step up for us and just do the 1689 02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:39,359 right thing and just have some uh um energy to be able to counter these 1690 02:37:36,680
