00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:27,960
In 2018, regular meeting of the Hawthorne City Council is called to order with all members present. Pastor George Magdalani from Hope Chapel will be doing the invocation tonight. And we will be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Superintendent Helen Morgan. So everyone please stand.

2
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:48,130
Good evening mayor mayor pro town council staff. Everyone please pray with me. Father God, we do want to acknowledge you this this evening. And I counted a privilege to speak with you.

3
00:08:48,130 --> 00:08:51,110
and converse with you tonight on behalf of this great city.

4
00:08:51,930 --> 00:08:55,450
Lord, first I want to pray for every citizen of this community

5
00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:56,910
that your grace will be upon them.

6
00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:58,470
We thank you for the children,

7
00:08:58,810 --> 00:09:01,610
pray your blessing and protection upon them,

8
00:09:01,730 --> 00:09:02,810
whether born or unborn,

9
00:09:03,090 --> 00:09:04,470
pray that you be with them in the neighborhoods

10
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:06,050
and in their schools.

11
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:08,090
We thank you for our seniors, Lord,

12
00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:11,190
pray you bless and protect them with health and strength,

13
00:09:12,190 --> 00:09:12,510
longevity.

14
00:09:13,610 --> 00:09:15,410
Lord, we thank you for those that you have called

15
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:20,810
to serve this community in our law enforcement and first responders, pray you

16
00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:25,130
give them extra grace and strength to do what you've called them to do to serve

17
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:29,170
and protect. And I thank you for the servants that you've raised up, pray

18
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:32,310
you're blessing upon them, wisdom from on high, that they would make

19
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:36,290
decisions that honor you, glorify you, and indeed benefit the people of this

20
00:09:36,290 --> 00:09:39,070
community. I personally pray this in Jesus name, amen.

21
00:09:59,260 --> 00:09:59,820
We

22
00:10:03,210 --> 00:10:09,150
have a semi-busy schedule today, so let's get through it.

23
00:10:10,050 --> 00:10:13,850
I would like to call Dr. Aishak Kumar to the podium, please.

24
00:10:14,050 --> 00:10:14,510
Is he present?

25
00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:15,850
He's not present.

26
00:10:16,090 --> 00:10:16,970
He wants to reschedule.

27
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:17,730
Okay.

28
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:22,410
I think at this point, that's about three or four reschedules.

29
00:10:22,650 --> 00:10:25,950
So I think we'll just table it indefinitely at this point.

30
00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:29,330
I would like to call David Salcedo to come up to the podium.

31
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:30,990
David, where's David?

32
00:10:31,810 --> 00:10:33,070
There you are. How's it going, my friend?

33
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,790
David, thank you for being here.

34
00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:47,410
You have a presentation for us today.

35
00:10:47,830 --> 00:10:51,110
When your mother called me about a year, a year and a half ago,

36
00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:54,070
something about around that time, a year and a half ago.

37
00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:56,470
And she told me what you were doing at Hawthorne

38
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:58,250
Intermediate School and all the different things we're

39
00:10:58,250 --> 00:11:02,730
going to do for the fencing and making sure that you took care

40
00:11:02,730 --> 00:11:03,770
of it and refurbished it.

41
00:11:03,770 --> 00:11:05,370
I thought it was very impressive.

42
00:11:05,610 --> 00:11:08,310
I didn't know what it took to be an equal scout.

43
00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:10,750
And the way your mom described it and what I heard

44
00:11:10,750 --> 00:11:12,750
in a way saw was very impressive.

45
00:11:12,970 --> 00:11:14,370
So I think we're all excited

46
00:11:14,370 --> 00:11:16,910
and everyone wants to congratulate you

47
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:19,010
on receiving your equal scout batch.

48
00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:20,650
Let's give them a round of applause, first of all.

49
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,200
But we invited you here to the City Council of Chambers

50
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,980
so that you could tell us about the project.

51
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,580
Do you have a presentation?

52
00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:32,560
Yeah, it's fun.

53
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,940
All right, let's go, let's hear it.

54
00:11:56,740 --> 00:11:58,300
Any secret information we're gonna find

55
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,300
or anything's gonna pop up when you open that thing up?

56
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:06,200
you better like just turn off the monitor screen okay

57
00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:10,450
we're safe I

58
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:32,090
just want

59
00:12:32,090 --> 00:12:35,530
to say thank you for the time you giving me to make this presentation you're

60
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:38,490

61
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:42,640

62
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520
louder yeah well I just want to thank you for the time you giving me for this

63
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,880
I just want to thank you for that so well I've done for my ego projects make

64
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:57,120
back back hooks for Hawthorne Middle School, and I just made a presentation about it.

65
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:02,780
Recently, not too long ago, I became an equal scout a week before I turned 18, so that

66
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,100
18 is your deadline.

67
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,980
So I got it the day before, which is not good, you should never procrastinate that much.

68
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,220
And how I got my idea, I got my idea from one of my scout leaders, which was Ken DeCala,

69
00:13:19,220 --> 00:13:25,680
who is, who works for a Hawthorne Middle School and he was, I was, before I made, got my

70
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:30,260
ideas, I was kind of in the struggle to find like, who needed, like, stuff to do or who

71
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:35,700
needed help and he came to me and said, um, we could, like, you could make us, like, backpack

72
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:41,180
cooks for the kids for PE. And so that's what I did. That's what I did. I'm going to show

73
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:47,120
you the positive, like, how I got there from just one, from my idea. And so what did I do?

74
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,860
I made Backpack Cooks for Hawthorne Middle School and the problems they had is that when

75
00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:58,740
they left their backpacks on the ground near like the wall, they used to be stolen

76
00:13:58,740 --> 00:14:03,820
from their backpacks because you couldn't see them and also they used to get dirty and

77
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:08,040
wet from the rain and from the dirt and the dirty ground they used to put it on.

78
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:12,900
So I made a solution making Backpack Cooks and I'm going to show you the process how

79
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:13,720
I started all of that.

80
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:33,360
So first I made a meeting with a couple of my scout people and we had to go around like how much is like around the average cost, how much we will make and like the materials, the, the, the, the man work to like to make all this.

81
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,500
and so that's what we did and then from there we started buying materials the week

82
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:48,680
before we started putting the back right cooks up so my process so we started

83
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,580
cutting all the wood that we got from a lumber, a lumber store and we shaved it

84
00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:59,820
all down to the shape you see in the picture and we had to cut the edge

85
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,460
We had to put primer on to smooth the wood. We also had to clog the holes because they weren't perfectly cut and made. So we had to clog all the wood, the holes in the wood, which took a while and we had to wait till it dried. And so after that, we started painting them blue and white, which are the school colors. And after that, after we wait like two days for it to dry, because it took a while because we had to put multiple layers to make it look perfect.

86
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,320
we start putting on the hooks and when we start putting on the hooks we accidentally painted

87
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,880
one more plain blue so we have to repaint that with another day to make it perfect so they

88
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:48,040
could be even white and blue and so the last thing I wanted to say is we started loading

89
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:55,820
up the hooks into this truck you see right here and we fit all I think 16 16 hooks and then

90
00:15:55,820 --> 00:16:02,780
Then we headed to the school from Carson, where we made all this and made all this happen

91
00:16:02,780 --> 00:16:09,500
from a scholar in mind, because he owns a workshop, so we used his place to build all

92
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:09,700
this.

93
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,620
And after that, we put them up at the school.

94
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:21,020
And as you see in this picture is the finished project and how they look and how they look

95
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:21,300
today.

96
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,780
And that's it.

97
00:16:23,780 --> 00:16:24,760
Any

98
00:16:32,410 --> 00:16:32,810
questions?

99
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:34,090
Through the chair.

100
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:38,390
Thank you so much for that presentation.

101
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:41,390
What did you learn from ACTU from that process?

102
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:45,550
I learned a lot by this process

103
00:16:45,550 --> 00:16:47,450
because also we had little scouts,

104
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:49,270
like younger scouts who barely joined

105
00:16:49,270 --> 00:16:52,670
and it was really hard to put them on like one task

106
00:16:52,670 --> 00:16:54,350
that they used to, they just play around

107
00:16:54,350 --> 00:16:55,290
and it was like,

108
00:16:56,490 --> 00:16:58,890
we also bought a lot of donuts

109
00:16:58,890 --> 00:17:05,390
because it was the day before my birthday so we just celebrated it and they

110
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:08,310
were really hyper and they were running around so it was kind of hard to control

111
00:17:08,310 --> 00:17:13,770
them and that's what I learned is teaching them how to like to stay on the

112
00:17:13,770 --> 00:17:20,210
task and keep keeping one lane. And you learned how to plan with others in a group

113
00:17:20,210 --> 00:17:25,390
and put a project together with teamwork, didn't you? Yes, yes, man. That's one of the

114
00:17:25,390 --> 00:17:32,450
And one of the great benefits of being a scout, in my family we have a scout tradition.

115
00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:34,310
My husband was an Eagle Scout.

116
00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:35,970
My son is an Eagle Scout.

117
00:17:36,850 --> 00:17:41,730
And I'm very, very much aware of the value of the scout experience.

118
00:17:42,130 --> 00:17:44,550
So good luck to you, and I wish you well.

119
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:45,550
Thank you.

120
00:17:48,210 --> 00:17:48,610
Do you chair?

121
00:17:48,930 --> 00:17:48,990
Yep.

122
00:17:50,290 --> 00:17:51,390
We're so proud of you.

123
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:53,410
And Kent Katata is a great leader.

124
00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:56,410
I knew him when he was an elementary school teacher at Hoffman School District.

125
00:17:56,410 --> 00:18:01,290
I understand he's a vice principal now for a great choice or he's up there.

126
00:18:01,550 --> 00:18:02,670
So congratulations.

127
00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:06,890
I myself wasn't a boy scout, so I only made up the tender foot.

128
00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:08,190
So I'm very proud of what you did.

129
00:18:08,890 --> 00:18:15,690
And I believe the first six astronauts were eagle scouts.

130
00:18:16,010 --> 00:18:19,290
So it's a great indication of your future.

131
00:18:19,570 --> 00:18:21,330
I saw all the work you put into those boards.

132
00:18:21,550 --> 00:18:22,150
It was a great idea.

133
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,110
I'm a teacher myself.

134
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:26,750
I see students put their backpacks all over the place, so great idea.

135
00:18:27,130 --> 00:18:30,570
You are a community leader with a bright future, congratulations.

136
00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:32,310
Thank you.

137
00:18:33,470 --> 00:18:34,150
Through the chair.

138
00:18:34,550 --> 00:18:39,790
I also want to mention how amazing it is to see someone of your age,

139
00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:43,750
actually go out, take the initiative to find a problem and find a solution.

140
00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:47,730
You don't really see that in younger generations a lot.

141
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:52,090
But the fact that you took it upon yourself to actually go out and

142
00:18:52,090 --> 00:19:01,630
meet all these other groups and coordinate together and work with the little kids, especially when they're hyper, and still maintain your composure and leadership, it's amazing.

143
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:09,930
So I truly can't wait to see where you end up in life because, you know, as you said, you just turned 18 and you're already solving, you know, issues at school.

144
00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:17,890
Your future's right. So, you know, one day you might be here alongside one of us here if you stay in Hawthorne, hopefully you do, and you can help lead the city as well.

145
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:24,090
Thank you. Thank you. I have a question. We heard that some of the Eagle Scouts have turned

146
00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:30,370
to become astronauts and got onto science and lawyers different. So, what's your career path?

147
00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:34,770
What's your career path? What are you studying? What are you going to study in college or what are

148
00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:39,310
you studying in college and what's your career path that you? I want to study in like business

149
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:43,930
administration marketing. So I want to do both business and marketing at the same time because I

150
00:19:43,930 --> 00:19:48,150
I always wanted to know what's behind the company, what makes the company, the company,

151
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:55,410
and kind of know how to make the people happy, how to make the product, what it is.

152
00:19:56,190 --> 00:19:58,630
So I just wanted to be behind that.

153
00:19:58,910 --> 00:20:02,710
And how do you feel your Boy Scout experience, your Eagle Scout status?

154
00:20:02,730 --> 00:20:05,330
How do you think that's going to contribute to what you want to do?

155
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:10,930
Well, it's going to help me become a leader, because I definitely let the younger scouts

156
00:20:10,930 --> 00:20:13,370
some to higher positions, move them up, teach,

157
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:15,170
taught them new things that they didn't even know.

158
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:17,130
One kid didn't even know how to crack an egg,

159
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:18,350
so I taught him how to do that.

160
00:20:19,130 --> 00:20:21,610
So it's interesting what people don't know

161
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:23,390
and what easy tasks they can't do.

162
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:24,810
And I just want to help them through

163
00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:26,950
and make them understand like nothing's impossible.

164
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:29,410
So we congratulate you again

165
00:20:29,410 --> 00:20:30,930

166
00:20:31,090 --> 00:20:32,190
So let's give them a round of applause.

167
00:20:36,810 --> 00:20:38,770
Can you come around so we can take a picture with you?

168
00:20:39,470 --> 00:20:40,350
Yeah, look, come on up.

169
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,600

00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:09,720
right. So let's move on to ratifying the election results. Go ahead Ms.

172
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:16,500
Deputy City Clerk. The first order of business is the certification of the official results.

173
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,180
Probably better review have oral comments just with regard to item number.

174
00:22:21,180 --> 00:22:23,820
or five and six?

175
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Let me do you guys give me the order here so it's like, I'm just going about, do you guys give me the shirt?

176
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,340
Just brown aquacarmant.

177
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,420
Absolutely, we don't want to violate that.

178
00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:38,700
Is there anybody who would like to comment on anything on item number five and six?

179
00:22:41,020 --> 00:22:43,760
If not, I'll declare oral communications close ordered.

180
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,980
Go ahead, Mr. Deputy City Clerk.

181
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:54,620
The first order of business is the certification of the official results of the returns of the General Municipal Election held November 6th, 2018.

182

You have to call.

237
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:32,840

242
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:08,820
So she also served previously as City Clerk, and before then, she's been very involved in parent teacher associations in the community.

243
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,040
So we're forever grateful for her service.

So let's give her a round of applause where she made it.

333
00:35:15,540 --> 00:35:20,080

00:38:05,290 --> 00:38:09,750
some people might leave after the cake so we want everybody to be here to hear them.

363
00:38:11,410 --> 00:38:16,270
So let's start off in order, Councilwoman Olivia Valentine, go ahead.

364
00:38:17,070 --> 00:38:24,370
Well, I would just like to say thank you so much to the City of Hawthorne to all of

365
00:38:24,370 --> 00:38:30,710
the people of the city who voted for me and for all of you who did not vote for me.

366
00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:37,650
I want to thank you as well and I want you to know that I am your council member too and

367
00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:42,810

00:38:42,810 --> 00:38:47,110
into the city, in terms of improving the quality of life for the residents.

Congratulations,

373
00:39:07,210 --> 00:39:12,770
so I will now present Councilwoman Olivia Valentine with her official certificate of election.

374
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:24,980
Councilmember Alex Montero.

375
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:27,720
Thank you, Mayor.

376
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:44,180
For before I say thanks, I want to acknowledge that my sister, Dr. Nelline Montero, is seen in the house, and my brother-in-law, Dr. Vintu Woods, and my nephew, ATN, and one of my best friend, the man Crawford.

377
00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:53,460
and Miss Alicia type 2, Miss Love, you put me on this seat and you know that

378
00:39:53,460 --> 00:40:01,420
you are my mother adopted mother in California unfortunately my mom passed away

379
00:40:01,420 --> 00:40:08,020
since 1995 but you have been my mother and keep me in check so I want to

380
00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:12,860
acknowledge thank you very much. The other thing that I want to say thank you is

381
00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:15,480
to my hot on school district family.

382
00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:19,300
I have Dr. Morgan, Dr. Craig, Luciano.

383
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,740
They've all been my colleagues for 11 years

384
00:40:22,740 --> 00:40:23,680
at the school board

385
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,380
and we have the tremendous improvement to our schools

386
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:30,420
and our achievement has been great to our children.

387
00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:33,920
So I want to say thank you for being there with me

388
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,760
and now we're going to be partners

389
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,300
as a city representative and a school district.

390
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,840
So we're going to do good things together.

391
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:48,940
But let me say that 21,500 votes is like the first time I think in the history of

392
00:40:48,940 --> 00:40:55,880
Kharton. We never saw numbers like that in the past. So I want to say it was a

393
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:01,720
victory of people of Kharton when I was to vote. It was a true democracy in action

394
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:07,660
because in the past people were just elected by 1600 by 2000 and we got

395
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:16,580
elect with a lot of votes. So we have a mandate to serve you. So we are working for you. You are my boss.

396
00:41:17,940 --> 00:41:25,240
And let me begin to say that I want to thanks to all my friends, my families, my supporters, the

397
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:32,780
volunteers and all the contribution that I received during my campaign will help me sit here today.

398
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:41,700
Okay, this seat will represent the interests of the people of Houghton and his business that will help us move Houghton forward.

399
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:47,860
I also would like to thank again the 21,000 voters who voted on November 6th.

400
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:49,620
It was an extraordinary election.

401
00:41:50,360 --> 00:42:01,260
I am seemingly proud by my contribution of many, many of you who walk with me, make phone calls, and who spend hundreds of hours,

402
00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:06,280
You know, doing those phone calls or do all those absentee ballads and etc etc.

403
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,420
So I couldn't do it without you.

404
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:17,040
So therefore my fellow citizens and my friends and supporters, I will promise you that I

405
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,400
will be your champion of integrity and the voice of the community.

406
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:27,700
I will continue to work with hard to accomplish the goals that I propose during my campaign.

407
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,180
I want to clean up hot tone.

408
00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:33,500
I want to get rid of all the trash and the bulk items.

409
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,560
I want to help you solve the problem of our parking.

410
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:44,480
I want us to work together to come up with a solution for that more by 2020, okay?

411
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,480
And I want you to know that my office is open 24-7.

412
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,120
My phone, my cell phone is available 24-7.

413
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,700
I will listen to your concern and I'll try to address it because I've been here in

414
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:06,620
this city for more than 20 years and I have demonstrated that I care about this community

415
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:17,680
and I'm sitting here because of you and you are my vote and I'll vote based on us, not

416
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,720
for special interests.

417
00:43:19,740 --> 00:43:21,260
So God bless you all, thank you for coming.

418
00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:22,180
So

419
00:43:28,670 --> 00:43:34,510
now I'm going to present Councilmember Alex Montero with this official certificate of election.

420
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,140
I'm going to ask city clerk Paul he minutes to say a few words.

421
00:43:55,930 --> 00:44:01,050
So I know I'm in the way of everyone getting a piece of cake, so I'm going to keep this nice and short.

422
00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:07,230
So I want to sincerely thank all the individuals who support our campaign.

423
00:44:07,730 --> 00:44:12,150
I'm excited to know that through this position I will have the opportunity to advocate for our community.

424
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:17,970
I believe that voting is a civic sacrament, and my goal will be to ensure that our community

425
00:44:17,970 --> 00:44:20,330
is involved in this precious democratic process.

426
00:44:21,170 --> 00:44:25,750
Special thanks to my campaign manager, Ken Manivaro, and to Carmen Avallos, who mentored

427
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:26,550
me through this process.

428
00:44:27,390 --> 00:44:33,090
To my wife Natalia and my son Pablo, who walked all over Hawthorne with me, and to my parents,

429
00:44:33,250 --> 00:44:37,710
Maria and Cornelio and my sister Patty, who even though I continue to get them involved in

430
00:44:37,710 --> 00:44:40,970
my unique ideas, I know that I was having their support.

431
00:44:41,550 --> 00:44:50,410
And to all my family that was stuck in traffic for about an hour to get here, I truly appreciate you being here and to some of my students that made it tonight.

432
00:44:51,630 --> 00:44:59,070
To all the volunteers who campus on the weekends, who phone banked, our goal was to run a grassroots campaign and we truly did that.

433
00:45:00,370 --> 00:45:14,430
Again, I want to thank all of you who supported us and I'm looking forward to working for you. Last, to the elected members and everyone else who contributes in running our beautiful city. I look forward to learning from you and learning with you. Thank you.

434
00:45:20,540 --> 00:45:26,260

437
00:45:54,360 --> 00:46:11,820
I want to thank the community for voting, there's nothing more important in this great democracy than making your voice heard through your vote and directing the outcome of your community and your country.

438
00:46:11,820 --> 00:46:18,380
And so excited the fact that we had a record turnout this year, and so regardless of how

439
00:46:18,380 --> 00:46:25,060

Any person? Any person desiring to address the city council should complete a speaker request card and submit the card to the city clerk prior to the commencement of the meeting.

479
01:07:36,980 --> 01:07:44,680
After obtaining permission to proceed by the presiding officer, speakers should first state their full name and address for the record.

480
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:49,680
They then shall state their business for all governing bodies briefly and

481
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:55,880
completely and unless granted further time by a governing body shall limit their dress to three minutes.

482
01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:02,320
The three minute limit shall include governing body or staff responses to queries posed by speakers.

483
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:09,220
However, the state open meetings law prohibits the city council from providing a detailed response,

484
01:08:09,220 --> 01:08:17,720
or acting upon any item not contained on the agenda posted 72 hours before a regular meeting and 24 hours before a special meeting.

485
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:24,280
All remarks shall be addressed to the governing bodies as a body and not to any particular member thereof.

486
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:29,860
The governing body may either dispose of the communication at the close thereof or

487
01:08:29,860 --> 01:08:36,660
may refer it to an appropriate administrative officer for study, investigation, report, and or recommendation.

488
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,580
discussion, if any, shall be by members of a governing body only.

489
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:55,500
Materials related to in and item on this agenda submitted to the City Council after distribution of the agenda packet are available for the City Council after, sorry, are available public inspection in the City Clerk's office during normal business hours.

490
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,320
Mr. Niscompos from SoCal Gas.

491
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:00,280
Good

492
01:09:05,150 --> 01:09:08,370
evening, Honorable Mayor, Council members and city staff and

493
01:09:08,370 --> 01:09:13,770
congratulation to the newly re-elected and elected council members.

494
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:19,270
I'm Denise Gumpels and I'm the public affairs manager for the city of Hawthorne, for our SoCal gas.

495
01:09:20,030 --> 01:09:22,290
And I'm here to provide you with an update from us.

496
01:09:22,710 --> 01:09:27,790
Firstly, I want to tell you that we are so grateful to your public work staff, your engineers, for

497
01:09:27,790 --> 01:09:31,350
your help on getting all the permits and expediting our work along aviation and

498
01:09:31,350 --> 01:09:36,030
in El Segundo. The work started in June where we replaced a 30-inch pipeline with a brand

499
01:09:36,030 --> 01:09:41,510
new 20-inch one, but it caused a lot of noise and issues to the residents. We communicated

500
01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:45,790
regularly and I'm glad to see that the project is done at the end of this week. So thank you

501
01:09:45,790 --> 01:09:50,230
so much for your patience with that. I also want to provide you with an energy update.

502
01:09:50,810 --> 01:09:53,810
And for most of us, energy is not something we think about. We just want to make sure that

503
01:09:53,810 --> 01:09:57,170
the lights turn on and the water's hot when we need it and that our heaters work when

504
01:09:57,170 --> 01:10:02,390
it's cold. However, there is an important debate happening at the state capital, and it's

505
01:10:02,390 --> 01:10:07,270
about achieving our state's 2030 and 2050 emission reduction goals. I think that we can all

506
01:10:07,270 --> 01:10:12,690
agree that California is a leader on climate change, specifically GHG or greenhouse gas reductions

507
01:10:12,690 --> 01:10:18,230
and renewable energy. The choices we make about energy policy today will affect every California

508
01:10:18,230 --> 01:10:24,050
and family and business, and from so CalGAS's perspective achieving this next set of goals will

509
01:10:24,050 --> 01:10:29,250
will require us to use all of the tools and technology at our disposal, including electricity

510
01:10:29,250 --> 01:10:30,490
and natural gas.

511
01:10:31,190 --> 01:10:35,930
This balanced energy approach considers the environment, customer choice, affordability,

512
01:10:36,270 --> 01:10:36,830
and reliability.

513
01:10:37,570 --> 01:10:41,890
Some people are advocating that we electrify everything, including all of our home appliances

514
01:10:41,890 --> 01:10:45,550
like stoves and heaters, so that we will rely solely on electricity.

515
01:10:46,350 --> 01:10:51,970
The idea sounds simple, but the technological hurdles in cost make it anything but proponents

516
01:10:51,970 --> 01:10:58,010
of mandatory electrification are now lobbying regulators and local officials without giving them the full picture.

517
01:10:58,570 --> 01:11:04,270
Most Californians are unaware that the electrification debate is happening, there are challenges to electrification.

518
01:11:04,590 --> 01:11:13,450
It would require a massive overhaul of our current infrastructure that would cost $3 trillion and disrupt every home and business in California.

519
01:11:13,790 --> 01:11:18,950
Not to mention that one third of our customers of 20.9 million customers are low income.

520
01:11:19,550 --> 01:11:23,610
Fortunately, we don't have to choose between our environmental values and our budget.

521
01:11:24,710 --> 01:11:25,950
With natural gas, you don't have to.

522
01:11:26,430 --> 01:11:27,130
Let's look at the facts.

523
01:11:27,590 --> 01:11:31,270
80% of California's methane emissions come from our own waste, like agriculture,

524
01:11:31,750 --> 01:11:32,750
dairies, and landfills.

525
01:11:33,290 --> 01:11:38,650
According to the State's Air Resources Board, if we switch out 16% of our natural gas supply

526
01:11:38,650 --> 01:11:44,390
with renewable natural gas, we'll meet or exceed our greenhouse gas reduction targets.

527
01:11:45,030 --> 01:11:48,470
And we know it's proven since it's already been done in other parts of the world.

528
01:11:48,950 --> 01:11:50,670
SoCal Gas is focusing on the future.

529
01:11:50,930 --> 01:11:54,050
We are committed to investing heavily in our infrastructure.

530
01:11:54,530 --> 01:11:59,050
Our five year capital plan includes $6 billion in infrastructure investments.

531
01:11:59,550 --> 01:12:03,050
The improved reliability from these programs will benefit all of our customers.

532
01:12:03,650 --> 01:12:06,990
And I'd like to wrap up with a milestone that we're particularly proud of.

533
01:12:07,350 --> 01:12:13,170
Last year, SoCal Gas made over $3.7 million in charitable contributions to organizations.

534
01:12:13,750 --> 01:12:16,010
Thank you, and we look forward to continuing to provide your natural gas.

535
01:12:16,010 --> 01:12:17,430
Thank you, ma'am.

536
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,000
Patrick Crowder, Patrick

537
01:12:30,570 --> 01:12:30,910
Crowder.

538
01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:39,840
Good afternoon. I mean, good evening. This is my first time, so I've never done this

539
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:46,400
before. I'm here to complain about one of the City Toe companies that ripped me off,

540
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:54,520
I guess you would say. And I got my card told on, I think it was November 30th. And I got

541
01:12:54,520 --> 01:13:02,840
back these some of the 4th I went to the tow yard to get the DMV the DMV the

542
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:08,640
registration and insurance and all that so I go to the tow yard they the

543
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,020
first they come out they couldn't find my car I called it couldn't when I got

544
01:13:12,020 --> 01:13:16,460
that they couldn't find the car they said it was gonna check the yard B it took

545
01:13:16,460 --> 01:13:23,260
them 45 minutes to do that then it came back and another 30 minutes they said it

546
01:13:23,260 --> 01:13:28,880
don't check your seat and then after that it's about an hour hour and a half to

547
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:34,040
wait it. Excuse me. But then when they finally found my car, they took me in the

548
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:38,040
back. Soon as I walked through the door, my car is right here in the door. It

549
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:43,860
under 18 cars deep in the back now. I understand the blind man can see that they

550
01:13:43,860 --> 01:13:50,000
didn't just find my car as soon as I go to the back door and it's 18 cars deep.

551
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:56,940
So, okay, after I get my paperwork out, I come back up to City Hall to pay the tickets

552
01:13:56,940 --> 01:13:59,300
in the fines or whatever to get my car released.

553
01:14:00,540 --> 01:14:11,220
So I go back, now it's a $35 lean fee, but when I got here on Tuesday the 4th, City Hall

554
01:14:11,220 --> 01:14:12,680
was closed from 12 to 2.

555
01:14:12,820 --> 01:14:17,560
So I told my buddy that it was driving me, and then they stole me for some reason.

556
01:14:18,020 --> 01:14:21,480
Now, but when I got back, it went over to another day.

557
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:22,100
That's what I'm saying.

558
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:28,320
They had storming me enough time for my car to get another day's lean on it or whatever

559
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:28,760
it is.

560
01:14:28,980 --> 01:14:30,220
But it was an extra $35.

561
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:31,800
But it's not the $35.

562
01:14:32,420 --> 01:14:37,600
It's just that I could see that they were delaying me for some reason.

563
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,700
And I've been back to try to see the manager and the owner.

564
01:14:43,020 --> 01:14:44,600
And I've been up here a couple of times.

565
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:49,200
but I haven't got any satisfaction, I guess you'd say.

566
01:14:49,620 --> 01:14:50,620
So that's why I'm here tonight.

567
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,420
And maybe I know y'all do business with him,

568
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,280
US toe, that's the name of the company.

569
01:14:57,480 --> 01:14:58,940
It's on 136th of Crenshaw.

570
01:14:59,380 --> 01:14:59,820
So.

571
01:15:00,530 --> 01:15:24,210
I plan, I'll be off work after this week and I plan to be out picking it in them for the next couple of weeks until I get some satisfaction or something. Because I can say it ain't the $35. It's about how they went about getting it. And I know if they did it to me, they've done it to someone else. So that's why I'm here. Thank you for your time. Ty Norman L.

572
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,100
Not here. Oh, yeah, we need you up here.

573
01:15:33,780 --> 01:15:35,660
Good evening, my city of Hawthorne.

574
01:15:36,340 --> 01:15:42,240
I'm here to present about bringing back, I beloved Hawthorne Youth Football and

575
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:49,720
Cheer program that's been removed from the city since 1999, 1999.

576
01:15:51,220 --> 01:15:55,020
And I just like to, I'm a product of the product.

577
01:15:55,180 --> 01:15:56,700
I was a kid over in the city.

578
01:15:56,940 --> 01:16:01,580
We have issues in the city and I would really think this program would really be beneficial

579
01:16:01,580 --> 01:16:17,740
for all the community because once again I came up in this program as a child and it was very beneficial on making life-long friends, teaching teamwork, integrity, things of that nature.

580
01:16:18,660 --> 01:16:27,120
I think it will definitely help shape the youth of our mentality in our community because we have underlying things going on in our community.

581
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:30,120
that I don't really think is being addressed.

582
01:16:31,440 --> 01:16:34,840
I'm also a resident of Hawthorn.

583
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,280
I'm alumni class of 1989.

584
01:16:38,260 --> 01:16:42,480
So I've been entrenched in this community for over 30 years.

585
01:16:43,260 --> 01:16:47,480
I've been volunteering my time with football and baseball.

586
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,260
I currently have been coaching at Hawthorn High,

587
01:16:52,260 --> 01:16:56,920
I'm losing her high, and I also went a nonprofit here in the city as well.

588
01:16:57,500 --> 01:17:00,560
So I've been dealing with youth for the last 20 plus years in this community.

589
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:07,100
Our league was taken over to the city of Laundale, city of 1999, excuse me,

590
01:17:07,260 --> 01:17:09,240
in the year of 1999 for embezzlement.

591
01:17:09,480 --> 01:17:16,620
And I think it's time that we bring it back and give our kids, give them something forward to look,

592
01:17:16,620 --> 01:17:23,340
you know, because all of what's happening is a lot of our kids are being siphoned out of the city to go over to Laundale.

593
01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:28,040
Then when it comes time for the high school, we don't have a lot of kids here.

594
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:33,340
They're going to a lot of neighboring cities and schools and being part of their communities.

595
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,120
And I think we need something to be very proud of here at home.

596
01:17:37,580 --> 01:17:45,040
The problem that I'm seeing in youth program as a parent, I have seven kids.

597
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,740
But when we go and sign up for our kids, we have nothing here.

598
01:17:47,980 --> 01:17:54,420
When we go to neighboring cities, we're paying out of resident fees for our kids just to play youth sports.

599
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:55,880
And I think it's a shame.

600
01:17:56,360 --> 01:18:01,420
When you have someone such as myself, I'm very deeply involved with the youth and

601
01:18:01,420 --> 01:18:03,100
those what's going on in the community.

602
01:18:03,420 --> 01:18:06,260
And I'm willing to put the time and work in effort and so.

603
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:10,100
And ending, I would like to build a partnership with the city.

604
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:19,640
because I do have an alliance with another city else say city of El Segundo.

605
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,280
I've already struck an alliance with them.

606
01:18:22,440 --> 01:18:23,700
They're willing to come over and help.

607
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:31,400
And I think it's the shame that we have to help ask a neighboring community to help us with our own problems and our own backyard.

608
01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:43,720
So in ending my speech tonight, I would like to build a partnership with you mayor and the other fellow city councilman, okay?

609
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,580
Absolutely, class of 89 go.

610
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,060
All done high, yeah.

611
01:18:48,180 --> 01:18:48,900
Class of 89 that's right.

612
01:18:48,900 --> 01:18:53,800
Yes, and we need to, I think we need this for the community.

613
01:18:54,040 --> 01:19:00,100
Please put us in touch with the pop Warner football league and it's a partnership, they're nonprofit.

614
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:03,480
We don't, if they're not governed by the City of Hawthorne, but

615
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:05,900
help build like some type of alliance.

616
01:19:06,440 --> 01:19:11,820
We're involved with the school districts and the high school districts, which have the fields, right?

617
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:12,460
Correct.

618
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:13,060
Let's talk.

619
01:19:13,480 --> 01:19:13,940
No problem.

620
01:19:14,180 --> 01:19:14,540
Thank you.

621
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:15,680
Thank you for your time, everyone.

622
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,420
Arnie, could you please give me a form?

623
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:18,240
Please?

624
01:19:19,060 --> 01:19:19,380
Okay.

625
01:19:19,940 --> 01:19:20,620
Thank you, sir.

626
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,540
Pat Donaldson, Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce.

627
01:19:27,550 --> 01:19:28,570
Good evening, Mayor.

628
01:19:28,870 --> 01:19:30,130
Mayor Pochen and City Council.

629
01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:32,870
Patricia Donaldson, Presency of the Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce.

630
01:19:32,870 --> 01:19:40,310
First, congratulations to everyone, and David, if you can give these out to everyone, please.

631
01:19:40,930 --> 01:19:43,370
This is from the South Bay Workforce Investment Board.

632
01:19:43,970 --> 01:19:49,590
This report summarizes the October 18, 2018 South Bay Workforce Investment Board meeting

633
01:19:49,590 --> 01:19:56,430
activities and program accomplishments during the first quarter of program year 2018 to 2019.

634
01:19:57,650 --> 01:20:03,790
And second of all, we're having our Christmas mixer at the Hopper on Chamber of Commerce, December

635
01:20:03,790 --> 01:20:11,670
18th, 5.30 to 7.30 p.m., the Taco Lady is going to be there, someone's donating from bakeries,

636
01:20:11,830 --> 01:20:18,270
all kinds of desserts, and we had wines, different kinds of wines donated, so we'll be, we're not going

637
01:20:18,270 --> 01:20:24,530
to get anybody drunk, but everyone can have a glass of wine. That's going to be December 18th,

638
01:20:24,530 --> 01:20:29,110
I hope that all of you can make it, including the city officials and the police department.

639
01:20:29,690 --> 01:20:30,530
Is she left?

640
01:20:30,770 --> 01:20:31,150
Thank you.

641
01:20:31,850 --> 01:20:32,070
Okay.

642
01:20:32,290 --> 01:20:33,610
And the fire department.

643
01:20:34,610 --> 01:20:36,270
And that's December 18th.

644
01:20:36,270 --> 01:20:42,610
And December 20th, we are going to be giving out toys and turkeys and bags of groceries

645
01:20:42,610 --> 01:20:45,350
at the Hoffman Memorial Center at 1 p.m.

646
01:20:45,790 --> 01:20:50,210
So I hope that all of you can make it and help us give out the toys.

647
01:20:50,210 --> 01:20:54,410
We still need more toys, desperately, and we need more turkeys.

648
01:20:55,090 --> 01:20:58,790
So this year has been really hard getting donations from people.

649
01:20:59,010 --> 01:21:02,870
In fact, I've been doing this for almost 50 years, and this is the first time that it's

650
01:21:02,870 --> 01:21:05,370
so hard to get donations.

651
01:21:05,610 --> 01:21:12,250
But anyways, we need donations, and then I understand that the POA is going to help us, and we're

652
01:21:12,250 --> 01:21:17,670
going to take those, the money from the POA, and get target cards for the teenagers.

653
01:21:17,670 --> 01:21:22,070
because that's the problem that we have with the toy drive.

654
01:21:22,230 --> 01:21:28,930
We never get anything for the teenagers so we'll buy $25 gift cards with their money and give it out to the teenagers.

655
01:21:29,350 --> 01:21:37,490
And the fire department will be there, the police department will be there because we never want children to be afraid to speak to the police officers or the fire department.

656
01:21:38,030 --> 01:21:43,090
And I think also that the McCormick ambulance will be there also so the kids can see all that.

657
01:21:43,090 --> 01:21:52,030
that McDonald's is donating happy meal certificates for the kids too so I hope that you all can make it and that's going to be December 20th. Thank you.

658
01:21:52,550 --> 01:21:54,610
Thank you ma'am.

659
01:21:54,610 --> 01:21:55,270
Neil White,

660
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:02,720
Mayor Mayor Pro Tem and City Council.

661
01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:07,220
First congratulations to everyone who is taking their seats for the first time.

662
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,900
And congratulations to all of you who are coming back to your familiar seats.

663
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:18,620
I am Neil White, I reside in Parkside Village and I'm here just to talk about two quick items.

664
01:22:19,300 --> 01:22:29,940
One is Resolution, I believe on the agenda it's Resolution 13, which is a Resolution 8038, which I've read regarding a proposal.

665
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:33,040
Does I say something wrong?

666
01:22:34,260 --> 01:22:35,180
You're safe.

667
01:22:35,540 --> 01:22:42,600
Regarding a proposal to put together a committee of neighborhoods regarding the airport.

668
01:22:43,380 --> 01:22:45,300
First, I want to compliment all of you on that.

669
01:22:45,660 --> 01:22:49,880
The airport has been growing rapidly in the past about four years.

670
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:54,200
It seems a little bit unchecked, so I'm glad to see that we're putting this in place.

671
01:22:54,980 --> 01:22:59,080
And the second item quickly is that being an owner in Parkside,

672
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:04,180
I notice that you have 11 seats, and there's a lot of homeowners associations.

673
01:23:04,180 --> 01:23:08,720
But I was surprised to see that Parkside Village does not have a seat on this.

674
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:17,060
And I would encourage you respectfully, there's 176 homes there, that Parkside Village would be a good group to have a seat on this.

675
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:24,000
And if you do vote on this tonight, I would respectfully ask that you vote subject to an amendment to add a chair for Parkside Village.

676
01:23:24,700 --> 01:23:25,300
Thank you.

677
01:23:25,300 --> 01:23:29,240
Thank you for the recommendation sir. Gordon Michael Mego or

678
01:23:33,180 --> 01:23:33,520
everyone

679
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:38,520
Gordon Michael Mego native and resident of Hawthorne since October the 8th 1952

680
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:45,400
First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on their election and reelection to their respective offices

681
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,980
city council city clerk city treasurer and

682
01:23:49,980 --> 01:23:51,200
last Wednesday

683
01:23:51,200 --> 01:24:00,580
Similarly, after there was a momentous occasion in our city across the street was the grand opening of the Marriott Courtyard and Town Place Weas.

684
01:24:00,660 --> 01:24:21,180
It was quite an extravaganza and it's something that will definitely boost our economic fortunes here in the city and will lend its way along with a lot of the things of SpaceX and the growing middle class to getting that giant building across the city.

685
01:24:21,180 --> 01:24:27,520
across the street, doubt the fortress of Amal for shopping, dining and entertainment.

686
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:35,020
There's an item regards that is coming up again in the state legislature,

687
01:24:35,700 --> 01:24:41,700
Senator Scott Wainer, who in the summer time had his proposal for

688
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:48,960
SB827, the high density residential development proposal,

689
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:56,100
which would essentially take the authority of cities and counties away from deciding on such projects.

690
01:24:56,700 --> 01:25:08,560
He has made a slightly amended version called now SB 50, and I know you had adopted a resolution in opposition to SB 827.

691
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:13,580
Likewise, I hope that the city will pick up on this and

692
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:19,600
And Dr. Resolution for that as well against SB 50.

693
01:25:20,620 --> 01:25:27,440
Another item is in regards to hospital for the city of

694
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:27,720
Hawthorne.

695
01:25:28,020 --> 01:25:31,280
I think it's not a matter of whether we need a hospital in the city of

696
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:31,660
Hawthorne.

697
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:33,760
I think it's something that's doable.

698
01:25:34,100 --> 01:25:39,240
It's a matter of we need to get all the various important parties,

699
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:45,960
the owners of the property, the city, the medical professionals, various

700
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,880
on-sundry stakeholders, so to speak.

701
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,280
And let's start working on how do we get there?

702
01:25:53,480 --> 01:25:59,560
We know we need a hospital and basically to sit down over the negotiating table

703
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,120
and work out a deal.

704
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:04,920
And there is money out there on the federal, state, county levels.

705
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:14,200
And there's money from foundations like Annenberg Foundation and other corporations that have expressed interest in donating a certain amount of money for

706
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:19,300
initial operations and ongoing so forth.

707
01:26:19,620 --> 01:26:26,900
So I hope we can put together a group here in the city and move forward on that.

708
01:26:27,460 --> 01:26:34,440
And in conclusion, I want to say to everyone here and there and everywhere, very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

709
01:26:35,620 --> 01:26:40,680
thank you, sir. Does anybody else wish to address the City Council? Please form a line?

710
01:26:48,390 --> 01:26:49,070
Yes, please

711
01:26:49,070 --> 01:26:51,090
inform a line if you wish to address the City Council.

712
01:26:53,860 --> 01:26:56,580
To our Honourable Mayor, and I knew

713
01:26:56,580 --> 01:27:03,720
it like officials tonight, and most especially, I'm very happy for my son. I don't know what I'm going

714
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:10,200
to do now that I don't have a partner to sit beside me, but maybe I will be able to take notes and

715
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:15,080
keep him straight for the things that he is not doing, you know. Of course I do have

716
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:22,180
another young son sitting on council and he knows who he is and I love him to death.

717
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:29,540
So you young man, I've been in the city 59 years and I've been in the city hall I think

718
01:27:29,540 --> 01:27:37,060
for 40. I was reading a letter the other day that I had gotten when we had a mayor and

719
01:27:37,060 --> 01:27:43,080
And a lot of those people are deceased now, but I know young people can do it.

720
01:27:43,700 --> 01:27:48,900
And I hope that I will be able to live to see some of their progress, you know.

721
01:27:49,740 --> 01:27:55,620
But thank you and we do have all the streets that are ready, are beautiful.

722
01:27:56,500 --> 01:28:02,840
I sure would say we're talking to Imperial, from Hawthorne Boulevard to Crenshaw.

723
01:28:03,540 --> 01:28:06,180
I just got a new car and I tell you.

724
01:28:06,180 --> 01:28:13,240
It's shaking like it wasn't even like it's 20 years old, but I do notice that they are

725
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:19,300
doing the sidewalks so our city manager who is the greatest man that I know that's ever

726
01:28:19,300 --> 01:28:27,900
sitting in that seat, maybe he can call Inglewood, if that's Inglewood, if it's the sea he's

727
01:28:27,900 --> 01:28:34,560
in, I would love to see that street straight now because I do take that street.

728
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:41,680
But in a way, I'm very happy for the new ones sitting in your seat and stick to your work.

729
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:49,420
And it's just a great council, one of the greatest ones since I've been in City Hall, and that's been quite a while.

730
01:28:49,980 --> 01:28:55,560
So thank you, God bless you, and I want to see more things done.

731
01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:03,100
And please, that all, everybody that knows me in this city, I can't go nowhere.

732
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:09,060
Miss Love, what about that wall and I said look I have a paper that I zero rocks and I

733
01:29:09,060 --> 01:29:14,140
should read this and then you'll be able to know some of the things that is going on in

734
01:29:14,140 --> 01:29:22,120
that wall but whatever but please please pretty please and God bless all of you thank you.

735
01:29:26,860 --> 01:29:32,820
I'm Linda Dorfman of 50 year resident I'm here to thank the public works department for

736
01:29:32,820 --> 01:29:37,360
We're patching all the potholes in my alley, which I go through at least three or four times

737
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:37,900
a day.

738
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,880
It's like writing an inner tube in a hurricane.

739
01:29:41,740 --> 01:29:47,200
They finally got it straightened out and I had an opportunity to thank the workmen personally.

740
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:52,180
I know there's only two of them and it took quite a bit of time to get the whole alley fixed,

741
01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:55,200
but I thank the public works for doing that.

742
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,820
Hello, I'm Laura M.D., city council for Donda Beach, and I came by to say thank you to Arnie and to Councilwoman Olivia Valentine for putting together this, I called a noise roundtable where you guys are calling it something else for item number 13. And I know there were so many other people that worked to put this together, but I just wanted to come by and say thank you so much for doing that. And I love the idea and the opportunity to be able to work together.

743
01:30:29,820 --> 01:30:30,520
So thank you.

744
01:30:36,950 --> 01:30:37,810
Good evening.

745
01:30:38,630 --> 01:30:40,590
Honorable Mayor in his absence.

746
01:30:41,010 --> 01:30:45,570
Council members, the city of Houghton,

747
01:30:45,830 --> 01:30:49,950
tensed the season, and with jolly.

748
01:30:50,570 --> 01:30:53,630
Letail Williams, a proud parent here in the city of Houghton

749
01:30:53,630 --> 01:30:57,550
on the Housing Advisory Committee and Oversight Committee

750
01:30:57,550 --> 01:31:01,410
and a member of the parent Centinella Valley School District.

751
01:31:01,870 --> 01:31:03,550
It's truly an honor to come before you.

752
01:31:03,550 --> 01:31:10,350
this wonderful, wonderful holiday season evening and I want to totally congratulate each and

753
01:31:10,350 --> 01:31:18,410
everyone elected elected elected official. It's always good to have a new fresh mind on the

754
01:31:18,410 --> 01:31:25,130
committee. A mind that has been sitting on the sidelines and then going forward the second time

755
01:31:25,130 --> 01:31:32,370
and to really really strike goal. That's pretty good because that mind has a lot of moving forward

756
01:31:32,370 --> 01:31:39,990
for the city. I'm speaking of Mr. Alex Montero definitely has a lot agenda to move our city forward,

757
01:31:40,270 --> 01:31:46,510
especially for the mall. Yes, it's long overdue, true enough. The city does not own the property,

758
01:31:46,870 --> 01:31:53,950
but there has got to be more guidelines that we can do to even if anything tear it down, tear it

759
01:31:53,950 --> 01:31:59,970
down because it's just been a true thorn in our side. And as I mentioned, I am a proud parent and I

760
01:31:59,970 --> 01:32:02,450
I want to speak to the parents here in the community

761
01:32:02,450 --> 01:32:05,190
that have their children going to a heart on high.

762
01:32:05,570 --> 01:32:07,370
That's in the Sentinel Valley School District.

763
01:32:07,370 --> 01:32:10,350
It was brought to attention that you have teacher over there

764
01:32:10,350 --> 01:32:15,670
that let 11 assignments, 11 assignments go missing

765
01:32:15,670 --> 01:32:17,890
with the student and it wasn't brought

766
01:32:17,890 --> 01:32:20,630
to the parent's attention and I see that parent

767
01:32:20,630 --> 01:32:23,910
every time that I go to the district meetings,

768
01:32:24,270 --> 01:32:25,190
to the parent meetings.

769
01:32:25,510 --> 01:32:29,470
So it's just truly astounding how 11

770
01:32:29,470 --> 01:32:35,790
and assignments got passed this particular teacher to just reach out, text.

771
01:32:36,350 --> 01:32:39,450
They have a wonderful school messenger system.

772
01:32:39,830 --> 01:32:45,030
And so the superintendent, Mr. O'Brien, was reached out to and got back to the parent

773
01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:51,870
and there has to be a change over there because you have had parents come to this podium

774
01:32:51,870 --> 01:32:54,370
speaking of our Hawthorne school.

775
01:32:54,630 --> 01:32:58,950
You don't have to send your child to the bench, you don't have to send them to Wiseburn.

776
01:32:58,950 --> 01:33:04,110
or even Laundale, I do think that heart on high is a wonderful school.

777
01:33:04,470 --> 01:33:05,490
It's just the teachers.

778
01:33:06,050 --> 01:33:10,150
The teachers plays a big part, they get good paychecks.

779
01:33:10,790 --> 01:33:17,350
And that shouldn't just stop right there, because these are the children that's gonna come out into our world in whole seats,

780
01:33:17,770 --> 01:33:23,110
and BCEO's and companies, and bring the innovation back to our community.

781
01:33:23,110 --> 01:33:28,750
So it's very important for the parents to get involved and keep a good relationship with the Councillors.

782
01:33:29,250 --> 01:33:31,110
And thank you, have a wonderful holiday.

783
01:33:33,940 --> 01:33:34,460
Sir.

784
01:33:36,500 --> 01:33:37,780
Good evening, Mr. Mayor.

785
01:33:38,020 --> 01:33:40,680
Mayor Pro Tem, Council Members and other city officials.

786
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:44,920
My name is Dr. Brendan Ronell, young resident in the city of Hawthorne.

787
01:33:45,380 --> 01:33:49,000
First off, on behalf of the Southern California Association of Governments,

788
01:33:49,260 --> 01:33:53,740
I wanted to thank very sincerely the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem,

789
01:33:54,480 --> 01:33:57,640
Councilwoman Olivia Valentine, Neil Michelin, and the outgoing

790
01:33:58,370 --> 01:33:59,800
Ngerais English for the hard work.

791
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,460
This year, at the 9th annual economic summit for Southern California,

792
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:08,000
a city of Hawthorne was acknowledged very sincerely by SCAD for

793
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:14,340
the contributions to LA County's GDP, the COO, as well as co-founders of SpaceX and

794
01:34:14,340 --> 01:34:15,640
the Boeing company were present.

795
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:21,480
I moderated a panel on transportation and the evolution in future transportation in Southern California.

796
01:34:21,480 --> 01:34:32,360
And it was interesting, too, as a resident of Hawthorne, to hear the name Hawthorne being presented in front of congressmen and state senators as part of the great work being done here.

797
01:34:32,440 --> 01:34:36,000
So I want to say thank you on behalf of the Southern California Association of Governments.

798
01:34:36,460 --> 01:34:46,480
Secondly, as a fellow resident had brought up SB50 Bill, I personally have worked on the Bill's formulation with state Senator Scott Wiener and Assemblyman Chu.

799
01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:54,140
And I think the SB50 bill is very crucial because its major orientation is for transit oriented housing.

800
01:34:54,580 --> 01:34:56,880
And it's very important for South Bay cities to adopt.

801
01:34:57,100 --> 01:35:04,440
And I think, especially in the city of Hawthorne, because of out location and the economic factors and the city leading into the next decade.

802
01:35:04,440 --> 01:35:12,960
It's very important and I think that SB50 bill will really be beneficial and help Hawthorne elevate itself even more on a regional scale.

803
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:16,940
So once again, thank you so much and all the very best in the adoption of the SB50 bill.

804
01:35:17,100 --> 01:35:17,360
Thank you.

805
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:26,620
Thank you, Dr. anybody else who wishes to address the City Council?

806
01:35:27,940 --> 01:35:30,480
If not, I'll declare oral communication close order.

807
01:35:31,500 --> 01:35:32,660
All right, so let's get to business.

808
01:35:35,420 --> 01:35:41,000
So everybody's the City Council's first opportunity to business together.

809
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:41,860
Let's go ahead.

810
01:35:43,580 --> 01:35:46,080
Mr. Clerk, may we have your consent calendar, please?

811
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:51,440
Mr. Mayor, I have five items on my consent calendar for your approval.

812
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:56,900
Item number nine, approval of the City Council Minutes for the regular meeting of November

813
01:35:56,900 --> 01:35:58,580
27th, 2018.

814
01:35:59,440 --> 01:36:05,700
Item number 10, approval of waiver of full readings of resolutions and ordinances of tonight's

815
01:36:05,700 --> 01:36:06,020
agenda.

816
01:36:06,940 --> 01:36:10,900
Item number 11, city treasurer requests approval of the warrants.

817
01:36:11,580 --> 01:36:17,180
Item number 12, resolution number 8038, a resolution

818
01:36:17,180 --> 01:36:23,740
of the City Council of the City of Hawthorne, California, creating the K-H-H-R Communities Network Committee.

819
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:32,660
Items number 14, Resolution number 8040, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hawthorne, California,

820
01:36:33,140 --> 01:36:36,980
authorizing the destruction of Police Department Internal Affairs Files,

821
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,960
pursuant to Resolution number 7170 for adoption.

822
01:36:42,460 --> 01:36:44,480
I'd like to pull item 13 for discussion.

823
01:36:44,940 --> 01:36:46,400
Okay, that sounds good.

824
01:36:47,140 --> 01:36:48,720
That was item number 13, right?

825
01:36:54,180 --> 01:36:55,920
I make a motion on all other items.

826
01:36:57,860 --> 01:37:00,560
Do we have to have, with the next,

827
01:37:00,700 --> 01:37:04,920
with the necessary abstention by Council Member Montero?

828
01:37:06,500 --> 01:37:08,040
Is that noted, Mr. City Attorney?

829
01:37:08,580 --> 01:37:10,100
Okay, Mr. City Clerk, is that noted?

830
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:12,620
Mr. City Clerk, is that noted?

831
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:14,180
Okay, please vote.

832
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:19,440
There we go.

833
01:37:21,980 --> 01:37:22,260
Excellent.

834
01:37:23,620 --> 01:37:24,520
Can you give the report?

835
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:33,180
Mr. City clerk just the low reflects mayor and council members voting yes. Thank you, sir. That concludes my consent calendar, Mr. Mayor.

836
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:33,840
Okay.

837
01:37:35,500 --> 01:37:37,880
Mr. City manager, may we have your consent calendar?

838
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:41,500
Oh, excuse me. I'm so sorry.

839
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:50,060
Thank you. For number 13, I'd like to call Mr. Arnie Schadbert to discuss this, to begin the discussion.

840
01:37:51,380 --> 01:37:59,500
So resolution 8038 will facilitate a forum for communities under the flight path in and

841
01:37:59,500 --> 01:38:06,340
out of Hotron Airport to have an opportunity to discuss their concerns with flight operation

842
01:38:06,340 --> 01:38:09,060
managers and pilots face-to-face.

843
01:38:10,300 --> 01:38:18,020
Based on my experience in the past year or so, receiving concerns from various community

844
01:38:18,020 --> 01:38:25,920
community members, this is what they wanted to, to have a better communications with airport

845
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:29,960
users and bring out their concerns to them.

846
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:36,820
It is going to be an informational process for everybody involved.

847
01:38:37,480 --> 01:38:46,180
Not only community members, we learn about, you know, FAA flight paths and procedures and

848
01:38:46,180 --> 01:38:54,340
processes involved, pilots also learn from residents that when they are flying up above,

849
01:38:55,680 --> 01:39:03,160
what is the impact of certain maneuvering or certain altitude they choose on the residents

850
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:03,520
below.

851
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:09,740
It provides an information on form engaging representatives from surrounding communities

852
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:14,900
to discuss ways for mitigating noise impact and other concerns to the extent possible.

853
01:39:14,900 --> 01:39:23,860
by pilots as far as their safe operation is not jeopardized, and to the extent allowed by FAA laws, regulations, and safety standards.

854
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:32,620
If I may, through the chair, I would like to address Mr. White's comments about Parkside Village,

855
01:39:33,220 --> 01:39:40,380
the basis for City of Houghton has neighborhood maps, and we can provide you with a copy of it.

856
01:39:40,380 --> 01:39:47,280
It is not based on the decision was made based on the neighborhood maps, not based on building complexes.

857
01:39:47,940 --> 01:39:55,360
For example, North Hawthorn, which is from Crenshaw to Engelwood and from El Segundo

858
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,680
to Imperial about two square miles, has one representative.

859
01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:07,380
Otherwise, after Minita Garden, North Hawthorn includes some of the densest residential communities

860
01:40:07,380 --> 01:40:08,120
is in our city.

861
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:12,560
So if we wanted to go based on gated communities,

862
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:16,420
then North Haton could have 10 representatives by themselves.

863
01:40:17,140 --> 01:40:21,560
So current forum consists of 17 board members.

864
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:28,560
However, you Mr. White and whoever else from Parkside Relage or

865
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,880
from there, more than welcome to attend these meetings.

866
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:35,200
This doesn't mean that they are excluded in any way.

867
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:39,000
We just had to have one representative from each neighborhood.

868
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,100
They're more than welcome to attend these meetings and

869
01:40:42,100 --> 01:40:45,820
being their concerns also as the board members themselves.

870
01:40:46,660 --> 01:40:50,480
So just to address the issue.

871
01:40:50,660 --> 01:40:57,160
But also, I would like to include an inter-lineation through the chair in the section eight.

872
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,140
I'm sorry, in the section 13 of the resolution,

873
01:41:01,820 --> 01:41:04,980
regarding the minutes that we would like to add,

874
01:41:05,180 --> 01:41:07,880
that minutes should be prepared in a timely manner.

875
01:41:08,480 --> 01:41:13,700
So with all due respect, if Council approve resolution

876
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:17,320
with that interlination, I will appreciate it.

877
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:21,280
Absolutely, so I'm going to make that motion

878
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:23,420
and I'm also going to recommend that,

879
01:41:24,180 --> 01:41:28,240
and if there's a consensus that Councilwoman Olivia Valentine,

880
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:29,840
BR City Council representative,

881
01:41:31,340 --> 01:41:38,240
She's deeply involved her experience with the FAA as a lawyer, and she's well connected to airport issues.

882
01:41:38,620 --> 01:41:40,960
We all are, but she has a special affinity for that.

883
01:41:41,480 --> 01:41:43,840
So I'd like to recommend that she be a representative.

884
01:41:44,180 --> 01:41:46,340
Is there a consensus on the City Council for her?

885
01:41:47,080 --> 01:41:47,520
Yes.

886
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:48,320
Representative?

887
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:49,020
Thank you.

888
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:49,440
Okay.

889
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:51,200
I wanted to add some more.

890
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:51,900
Absolutely, go ahead.

891
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:56,100
So I wanted to just add that this is something, this has been a long process.

892
01:41:56,100 --> 01:41:59,560
We've had requests over time from Hawthorne residents.

893
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:00,380
We've had meetings.

894
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:06,920
I want to thank Mr. Shadbeer personally because he took the ball and ran with it to actually

895
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,760
respond to the requests we've had from time to time.

896
01:42:10,100 --> 01:42:13,600
He's actually met with people at the airport.

897
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,180
I've heard from other communities.

898
01:42:17,180 --> 01:42:21,380
Thank, I want to thank Councilmember M. Z for of Redondo Beach for being here tonight.

899
01:42:21,380 --> 01:42:26,680
tonight. She and I have discussed the need to have a comprehensive approach to a resolution

900
01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:32,180
of this issue. And we trust with such a large representation of surrounding communities,

901
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:37,420
everyone will feel their concerns of being addressed. It's going to be a very transparent

902
01:42:37,420 --> 01:42:44,400
standing committee. And it's expected that when any noise issue arises, it can be discussed

903
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:50,600
in this forum. We want to engage all representatives of the airport and the surrounding communities.

904
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:56,300
And I want to make a comment about who is going to be a representative.

905
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:06,420
So if you look at page two of the staff report, it talks about the representatives and

906
01:43:06,420 --> 01:43:10,760
it says that members from the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission would

907
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:15,740
be appointed by the City Council, members from home owners associations would be appointed

908
01:43:15,740 --> 01:43:21,760
by their respective boards. Geographic areas located within the city or county of Los Angeles

909
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:26,320
that do not have a homeowners association to perform the function of appointments shall

910
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:31,320
have members appointed by the office of the supervisor of the second district or office

911
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:36,060
of the council member representing the district in which it is located. A letter of appointment

912
01:43:36,060 --> 01:43:41,960
from the appropriate official of the Supervisorial District or council members office will be required

913
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:48,840
before an individual may serve. And I make this, I emphasize this because we are not going

914
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:56,600
to be responsible for the people who represent your communities on that committee. You will

915
01:43:56,600 --> 01:44:02,660
be responsible. All of the listed organizations, businesses, groups, and whoever is listed

916
01:44:02,660 --> 01:44:10,120
on that as a member, all 17 entities, you will be responsible for choosing your own representative

917
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:13,040
and letting us know who that is going to be.

918
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:15,520
So I want to make sure that I make that clear.

919
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,680
We do not make the choice for your community.

920
01:44:18,860 --> 01:44:19,720
You make the choice.

921
01:44:23,820 --> 01:44:24,620
Thank you.

922
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:26,300
To the chair.

923
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:27,140
Yes.

924
01:44:28,340 --> 01:44:29,560
OK, just a clarify.

925
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:34,400
So because, for example, I live on Ramona and Broadway.

926
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:37,800
If you know like two years ago, that little plain question,

927
01:44:37,820 --> 01:44:39,700
one of my town homes.

928
01:44:39,700 --> 01:44:45,020
So I'm the president of that at the homeowner's association over there called Plaza Town Homes

929
01:44:45,020 --> 01:44:45,420
Association.

930
01:44:45,420 --> 01:44:53,540
So we have 34 Town Homes and we, you know, basis every month when we meet in our meetings

931
01:44:53,540 --> 01:44:59,880
at the homeowner's association, the planes continue to fly over.

932
01:45:02,300 --> 01:45:25,100
So, if I would attend the meeting as a citizen, there will be no conflict with Ms. Valentine being sitting there as a council representative. Correct? Okay. I guess I want to go to those meetings because we have complaints too. Thank you. Would that be a brown act violation if more than if three of us were to attend?

933
01:45:28,050 --> 01:45:32,130
When that happens, after it happens, we want to ask you before it happens. Come on.

934
01:45:33,990 --> 01:45:42,730
I don't know about you all right we'll figure it out if we're about to do something like that all right so

935
01:45:42,730 --> 01:45:48,450
I make the motion to approve resolution number 8038 okay

936
01:45:50,500 --> 01:45:54,820
okay who second I'm gonna second who would

937
01:45:54,820 --> 01:45:59,620
If you would like to, since you're a member of the party, let's give it a please vote.

938
01:46:18,950 --> 01:46:22,390
The vote reflects mayor and council members voting yes.

939
01:46:23,050 --> 01:46:23,810
Thank you.

940
01:46:25,980 --> 01:46:28,520
Mr. City Manager, your consent calendar, please, sir?

941
01:46:30,340 --> 01:46:31,060
Mr. City Manager?

942
01:46:31,260 --> 01:46:31,380
Yes.

943
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:41,440
Mr. Mayor, I have items 16, 17 and 18, 19 and 20, order approval.

944
01:46:41,440 --> 01:46:43,020
So I make the motion.

945
01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:44,080
Second.

946
01:46:44,780 --> 01:46:46,880
Mr. Moose and seconded, please vote.

947
01:47:00,820 --> 01:47:03,100
The vote reflects Mayor and Councilmember voting yes.

948
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:04,420
Okay.

949
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:06,440
All right.

950
01:47:07,860 --> 01:47:10,460
We have another meeting after this.

951
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:11,560
It's immediately.

952
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:13,580
We're going to just break and go.

953
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:16,880
But do we have any.

954
01:47:18,340 --> 01:47:21,800
Oh, the cancellation of December 25th, 2018 council meetings.

955
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:29,660
Yes. Mr. Schadberg? Yes. Oh, yes. We can't have one on Christmas. Yeah. Why not?

956
01:47:30,020 --> 01:47:36,640
Traditionally, in the past decades, we have always City Council. Council, the second meeting in

957
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:42,020
the month of December, so I respectfully ask the same again. City Council is just the day after

958
01:47:42,020 --> 01:47:46,400
Christmas. Is there anybody on here who wants to be a Grinch? I'll come with you, Alex. You will?

959
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,980
Oh, man, it's been a long time, man.

960
01:47:49,380 --> 01:47:50,600
All right.

961
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:52,260
I make the motion.

962
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:53,320
Second.

963
01:47:54,140 --> 01:47:54,540
Please vote.

964
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,260
The vote reflects mayor and councilmember voting.

965
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:02,460
Yes.

966
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:03,540
All right.

967
01:48:05,420 --> 01:48:11,120
It'd be nice if we could just kind of go through the reports and the council elected officials

968
01:48:11,120 --> 01:48:11,500
reports.

969
01:48:12,540 --> 01:48:15,380
So we can go on to the next meeting that we have in succession.

970
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,180
So, let's start off with City Treasurer, David Paterson.

971
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,880
Thank you, sir, I just want to thank the community for coming out and participating in the process.

972
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:29,280
Also, council, I know that you guys get a report of our cash balances.

973
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:36,740
One of our most recent reports from our investment saving for multi-bank security

974
01:48:36,740 --> 01:48:43,440
shows that our current investment portfolio is projected to earn the city about $185,000.

975
01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:45,820
and so I think it's cool.

976
01:48:46,820 --> 01:48:47,100
Excellent.

977
01:48:47,340 --> 01:48:48,740
We want to make note of that, thanks.

978
01:48:49,660 --> 01:48:52,860
185, so that's money that can go back to the pot, right?

979
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:57,380
Right into the general fund or however the council sees it,

980
01:48:57,520 --> 01:49:00,280
whether you want to reinvest that money or go around to the general fund.

981
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:02,020
Good news, thank you for reporting that.

982
01:49:03,260 --> 01:49:04,120
Mr. City Clerk.

983
01:49:04,900 --> 01:49:08,040
As my first official day, I have nothing to report.

984
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:10,240
Nothing? Okay, oh wow.

985
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:13,100
Interesting, okay.

986
01:49:13,100 --> 01:49:17,120
Okay, council member Olivia Valentine.

987
01:49:17,300 --> 01:49:18,300
Thank you.

988
01:49:18,700 --> 01:49:23,400
So, first on the League of California cities, the City of Hawthorne is a board member

989
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:27,780
of the League of California cities, and I am Vice President of the Revenue and Taxation

990
01:49:27,780 --> 01:49:28,600
Policy Committee.

991
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:34,420
We met recently to recommend policies the league should make that will be a benefit to

992
01:49:34,420 --> 01:49:34,760
cities.

993
01:49:35,500 --> 01:49:40,080
The recommendations will be voted on by the full committee at the meeting in January

994
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:45,520
in Sacramento, and then used as the basis for advocating on behalf of cities to the

995
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:52,680
legislature. The top three policy priorities we set for our committee, the Revenue and

996
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:58,180
Taxation Committee, were the following. Number one, disaster preparedness. The wildfires put

997
01:49:58,180 --> 01:50:04,400
everyone on notice of the need to have a comprehensive disaster plan on a statewide level. Number two,

998
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:09,980
housing. There is a train coming down the track at cities wherein the legislature is going to focus

999
01:50:09,980 --> 01:50:14,720
on forcing cities to accept more density and where the flexibility of local government

1000
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:15,860
is going to be eroded.

1001
01:50:16,740 --> 01:50:22,020
We have to be aware and be prepared to set our own goals and plan our own communities

1002
01:50:22,440 --> 01:50:23,740
in the way we see fit.

1003
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:29,100
And number three, pension reform, we understand the problems involved with pension reforms.

1004
01:50:29,380 --> 01:50:31,680
So that's something that's also that was the third priority.

1005
01:50:33,440 --> 01:50:38,700
So Marriott Grand Opening, it was my pleasure last Wednesday, December 5th to attend the

1006
01:50:38,700 --> 01:50:42,900
groundbreaking and welcome our two new Marriott branded hotels to the city of

1007
01:50:42,900 --> 01:50:48,280
Hawthorne, courtyard by Marriott and Marriott Town Place Suites. Both are

1008
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:52,820
welcome new additions to the Hawthorne community. We have seen revitalization

1009
01:50:52,820 --> 01:50:58,580
taking place on Crenshaw, around SpaceX and the airport, and on Ceres with the

1010
01:50:58,580 --> 01:51:03,100
conversion of the old industrial buildings to be repurposed for industries of

1011
01:51:03,100 --> 01:51:08,240
the 21st century. Now the transformation is coming to downtown Hawthorne and we

1012
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:08,860
We welcome it.

1013
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:14,440
We hope to see more commercial development and we will work to that end and bring in more

1014
01:51:14,440 --> 01:51:19,280
restaurants in this location as the word gets out that Hawthorne is the place to be.

1015
01:51:21,340 --> 01:51:22,580
Hawthorne Business Expo.

1016
01:51:23,460 --> 01:51:29,900
The Hawthorne Business Expo, which I have been working on for the last four years, we are,

1017
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,140
this is going to be 2019, this will be our fourth.

1018
01:51:33,140 --> 01:51:38,160
It is set to take off on January 23rd, 2019 from 3 to 7 pm.

1019
01:51:38,900 --> 01:51:43,040
The theme this year is business networking in an electronic world.

1020
01:51:43,580 --> 01:51:46,560
There will be eight educational workshops at the event.

1021
01:51:47,500 --> 01:51:51,500
I left flyers like this outside for everyone, please take one.

1022
01:51:52,260 --> 01:51:55,020
These are the educational sessions at the expo.

1023
01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:58,260
Cyber security and cyber liability insurance.

1024
01:51:59,060 --> 01:52:00,500
Social media strategies.

1025
01:52:00,500 --> 01:52:04,700
basic market research, e-commerce for small business,

1026
01:52:05,300 --> 01:52:09,880
email marketing tips, contracting with LAX,

1027
01:52:10,540 --> 01:52:15,020
no cost business services available, financing your business,

1028
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:20,560
and all of these are with the intent to offer a wealth of opportunities,

1029
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:24,320
advice, and information to our small businesses in the city of Hawthorne,

1030
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:29,620
and we hope to have, we have so far many exhibitors that have already

1031
01:52:29,620 --> 01:52:36,180
signed up to exhibit. I think we have probably 40 at this point. We have a capacity for about 60.

1032
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:42,440
And we're doing some things a little bit differently this year. This year we're going to have a panel

1033
01:52:42,440 --> 01:52:48,920
discussion around our theme. The theme is business networking in an electronic world. We're going

1034
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:54,720
to have a panel discussion around that. And we're also going to allow all of you to go on our website,

1035
01:52:54,720 --> 01:53:00,940
the website for this event which is HawthorneBusinessExpo.com and vote for the

1036
01:53:00,940 --> 01:53:06,540
three best businesses in Hawthorne. So hopefully you will all vote and we will

1037
01:53:06,540 --> 01:53:11,720
make selections based on your vote and then we will make that choice at the

1038
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:17,960
business expo in January. So please everyone come, it's for you, it's for the

1039
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:26,820
businesses and again we hope to make this a really special event. I want to again thank

1040
01:53:26,820 --> 01:53:31,700
I want to thank the council members just like we did before earlier I want to thank council

1041
01:53:31,700 --> 01:53:36,680
members Angie raised English for her service to the city. I want to thank council member Nilo

1042
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:42,600
Mitchell and for his service to the city of Hawthorne and wish them both very wish wish them both

1043
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:49,780
well and wish them good luck. And finally I say to everyone of you Merry Christmas have a wonderful

1044
01:53:49,780 --> 01:53:56,820
holiday with you and your families. This is a family holiday and it's it's extremely special and

1045
01:53:56,820 --> 01:54:02,340
I understand that this isn't maybe one of the best holidays in the year simply because it is such a

1046
01:54:02,340 --> 01:54:10,060
family occasion. So enjoy yourself have fun and we'll see you back in the new year ready to work for

1047
01:54:10,060 --> 01:54:11,800
for the benefit of the city of Hawthorne.

1048
01:54:11,940 --> 01:54:12,460
Thank you all.

1049
01:54:13,860 --> 01:54:14,700
Okay, thank you.

1050
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:16,160
Council member Neal Emissioner.

1051
01:54:18,290 --> 01:54:18,790
Thank you, Mayor.

1052
01:54:19,490 --> 01:54:20,990
There was a lot of excitement today.

1053
01:54:21,730 --> 01:54:23,650
More excitement that we had in a while,

1054
01:54:23,650 --> 01:54:26,030
you could kind of like feel it out in the area

1055
01:54:26,030 --> 01:54:27,250
because we're entering a new era.

1056
01:54:27,530 --> 01:54:29,770
So congratulations to everybody that was elected.

1057
01:54:30,850 --> 01:54:33,370
David Patterson, you have a very professional independent

1058
01:54:33,370 --> 01:54:36,630
voice and you hit the ground running with $185,000.

1059
01:54:37,170 --> 01:54:38,650
So thank you very much for that.

1060
01:54:38,650 --> 01:54:45,570
that Mr. Jimenez, great swearing in with Miss Avalos coming in,

1061
01:54:45,750 --> 01:54:47,130
City Clerk from Southgate.

1062
01:54:47,690 --> 01:54:49,190
She brought her professionalism.

1063
01:54:49,210 --> 01:54:51,070
I like the way she brought in the family, so.

1064
01:54:51,730 --> 01:54:53,990
And she made a comment about Hawthorne that a lot of people

1065
01:54:53,990 --> 01:54:55,730
make how diverse we are.

1066
01:54:56,270 --> 01:55:00,390
And there's about 100 suburbs over here in LA.

1067
01:55:01,630 --> 01:55:03,950
And we're the most diverse city by far.

1068
01:55:04,050 --> 01:55:06,150
Everybody's always amazed at our diversity

1069
01:55:06,150 --> 01:55:07,350
on how we work together.

1070
01:55:07,350 --> 01:55:14,130
So I'm very proud that she mentioned that and you know, you have a bit of a choice to fill Monica did a great job

1071
01:55:14,130 --> 01:55:19,290
But you have some great ideas and I'm looking forward to great things at the city clerk's office

1072
01:55:19,290 --> 01:55:23,330
all the great work that you do and you know as as

1073
01:55:23,330 --> 01:55:29,050
At Sam Monica College and all organizational skills that you have looking for great things there

1074
01:55:30,010 --> 01:55:36,810
Councilman Valentine you worked so hard and all those different committees scagged the airport League of California cities

1075
01:55:37,350 --> 01:55:42,630
I'm looking forward to some great recommendations from that revenue committee because we definitely need to revenue.

1076
01:55:42,810 --> 01:55:47,050
All the cities need revenue, so thank you for your service on that great to have you back.

1077
01:55:48,290 --> 01:55:52,110
And we're very excited about Alex Montero coming in.

1078
01:55:53,690 --> 01:55:56,110
I served with him in the Hawthorne School District.

1079
01:55:56,410 --> 01:56:01,170
Seven years ago, I made the leap from the Hawthorne School District over here to the city.

1080
01:56:01,170 --> 01:56:09,030
And I worked with them, there's nobody more professional, more organized, everything that

1081
01:56:09,030 --> 01:56:13,490
you do for the Hawthorne School District, from Anita Gardens, for the canine dinner,

1082
01:56:13,990 --> 01:56:17,410
the Christmas dinner, you're even president of your homeowner's association.

1083
01:56:17,890 --> 01:56:21,170
You have all this things going on, it's even president of the homeowner's association.

1084
01:56:21,530 --> 01:56:23,230
This is how much he loves his community.

1085
01:56:23,810 --> 01:56:30,410
So everybody in this council is extremely qualified, everybody brings something to the table,

1086
01:56:30,410 --> 01:56:36,770
But you've got to admit that people are the most qualified and experienced people ever to sit in that seat.

1087
01:56:36,970 --> 01:56:39,970
So we're looking for great things, you're joining a great team over here.

1088
01:56:40,230 --> 01:56:42,070
So let's give them all a big hand.

1089
01:56:48,610 --> 01:56:55,410
And I too was at the Mayor's Grand Opening and I spoke and I said of the start of Hawthorne Renaissance.

1090
01:56:55,670 --> 01:57:01,610
Actually, the Hawthorne Renaissance has began under this city council here working together.

1091
01:57:01,790 --> 01:57:05,130
But I think it was an acceleration of the Hawthorne Renaissance.

1092
01:57:05,130 --> 01:57:10,970
definitely a different level. If you go over there, please, after this meeting, go to that hotel

1093
01:57:10,970 --> 01:57:18,110
and see how incredible it is. It's not one but two hotels. Walk around there and see the

1094
01:57:18,110 --> 01:57:25,770
incredible design. The owner there spent thousands and thousands and not millions of dollars to

1095
01:57:25,770 --> 01:57:32,030
have the South Bay history there. See the pictures there. See the restaurants there. So truly, the

1096
01:57:32,030 --> 01:57:36,530
The Hawthorne Renathon keeps on going, and it was a great day to have everybody there.

1097
01:57:37,030 --> 01:57:37,930
It was exciting.

1098
01:57:38,950 --> 01:57:44,570
And with that, have Merry Christmas, happy holidays to you and your family from the Hawthorne

1099
01:57:44,570 --> 01:57:45,890
family to your family.

1100
01:57:46,250 --> 01:57:46,950
Thank you very much.

1101
01:57:47,950 --> 01:57:48,150
Okay.

1102
01:57:48,910 --> 01:57:51,330
Council Member Alex Montero.

1103
01:57:52,230 --> 01:57:53,330
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

1104
01:57:55,690 --> 01:57:58,950
Well, thank you, Mr. Michelin, for those wonderful words, appreciate it.

1105
01:58:00,270 --> 01:58:07,390
Let me just say that I want to first thank Monica from the city clerk's office, because

1106
01:58:07,390 --> 01:58:15,990
she was a mentor of what things have to be done and what was, you know, show me around

1107
01:58:15,990 --> 01:58:20,150
how to operate these machines over here, the SNO vote.

1108
01:58:22,230 --> 01:58:27,710
So she have done a lot of these best two weeks to put me into tune with all of you over

1109
01:58:27,710 --> 01:58:34,890
here, but I have to say that Mr. Michelin said a great thing, so we have a great council

1110
01:58:34,890 --> 01:58:37,490
and we're going to do great things for the seat of Hawthorn.

1111
01:58:38,170 --> 01:58:43,710
And again I want to say thank you to Ms. English because we have been working together for

1112
01:58:43,710 --> 01:58:48,490
more than 25 years as a community organizer out there doing things for the community.

1113
01:58:48,690 --> 01:58:54,050
So she has put his her dues and she does all the credit to leave with grace.

1114
01:58:54,050 --> 01:59:03,050
So, it was a battle, but somebody had to lose, but I'm glad that the people of Hathon put

1115
01:59:03,050 --> 01:59:09,870
the trust on me, and I'm going to do my best, and I have some ideas, so keep in tune

1116
01:59:09,870 --> 01:59:15,090
because starting January, I want to be starting some town hall meetings to go around, not

1117
01:59:15,090 --> 01:59:18,850
just the homeowner's association, but to the neighborhoods that don't have no homeowner's

1118
01:59:18,850 --> 01:59:25,830
association because we need to talk to them and listen and also to give them our concerns

1119
01:59:25,830 --> 01:59:30,030
especially like I said about the trash and about parking and about other stuff that we

1120
01:59:30,030 --> 01:59:30,850
need to do all together.

1121
01:59:32,670 --> 01:59:37,510
Again, I want to congratulate Ms. Valentine for being reelected.

1122
01:59:38,390 --> 01:59:46,250
So I think now in the history you have probably the most vote, the 9,000 vote, that was a tremendous

1123
01:59:46,250 --> 01:59:46,670
number.

1124
01:59:47,750 --> 01:59:55,470
Mr. Pahi Menes, you came on the right time because it's good to have you blood at the

1125
01:59:55,470 --> 01:59:59,850
clear, because I am going to use all your expertise to bring some intern

1126
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:05,160
So, to help us out, you know, different projects of a day in your office and to other office.

1127
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:12,440
To Mr. David Pererson, again, congratulations for your reelection. And you have a business

1128
02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:16,940
mind and a financial mind, so we're going to put it into use, all right? I appreciate

1129
02:00:16,940 --> 02:00:22,280
that. And to my two colleagues, Mayor Protein and Mayor Vaggett, I look forward to work with

1130
02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:28,940
you. I'm a person of unity and compromise. I'm not a divided. So, I'm here for the people

1131
02:00:28,940 --> 02:00:34,200
of heart on and I want us to work together as a team and listen to the voice of the people

1132
02:00:34,660 --> 02:00:40,420
and vote with the people all right so that's and I want to say that it's been a great two

1133
02:00:40,420 --> 02:00:49,280
weeks since I got elected I visit Tesla SpaceX and the boron company I was also at the

1134
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:56,380
Maryland Open so I'm up and running so thank you Merry Christmas happy Hanukkah and all

1135
02:00:56,380 --> 02:01:00,140
those wonderful holidays out there, and be safe, and happy new year.

1136
02:01:01,500 --> 02:01:03,080
Okay, thank you.

1137
02:01:03,380 --> 02:01:03,780
Council Member.

1138
02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:05,500
Mayor Proton, Hadar Awad.

1139
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:08,140
Thank you, Mayor.

1140
02:01:09,920 --> 02:01:11,460
First, I want to thank you for coming out.

1141
02:01:12,040 --> 02:01:15,980
I want to congratulate Dave Parish on his win, Paul Jimenez, Dr.

1142
02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:17,260
Gomez for your win as well.

1143
02:01:17,940 --> 02:01:20,700
Returning member, council member Lou Valentine.

1144
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:26,320
And according to Miss Love, my new brother, Alex Montero.

1145
02:01:26,380 --> 02:01:35,120
share the same mom now okay okay you can keep the oldest I've been excited to have you on the

1146
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:41,980
council same mindset and especially if missed you know missed love giving us her blessing means

1147
02:01:41,980 --> 02:01:49,040
we're on the right track so again glad you're back thank you for the community Mary Christmas

1148
02:01:49,040 --> 02:01:59,280
is happy new year and that's all cool cool so she's my mother as well so like she's the mother of

1149
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:06,640
brother from another mother so how does that go all right something like yeah yeah all that it

1150
02:02:06,640 --> 02:02:12,100
gets messy huh oh we've got three sons here so I'm gonna say but you know different shades of brown

1151
02:02:12,100 --> 02:02:22,500
here okay go ahead of you want to go back we'll just go back now just go back thank

1152
02:02:27,260 --> 02:02:28,180
you me well

1153
02:02:28,180 --> 02:02:33,600
Well, again, I forgot to mention Mr. Michelin over there,

1154
02:02:33,720 --> 02:02:36,680
so like he said, we've been working together for many, many years.

1155
02:02:37,480 --> 02:02:43,200
And as unfortunately, that you're leaving, because I think you're taking the order

1156
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:45,620
of office on December 17 at El Camino.

1157
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:49,800
But I'm pretty sure that we'll be working together to establish partnership

1158
02:02:49,800 --> 02:02:54,840
because one of the things that I want to work with is the El Camino College,

1159
02:02:54,840 --> 02:02:57,800
and Santa Monica College, and all the community college

1160
02:02:57,800 --> 02:03:01,760
is to give these kids more opportunity to the career

1161
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:02,620
attack, right?

1162
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:04,680
Because not everybody have the money to go to college

1163
02:03:04,680 --> 02:03:06,780
because four-year college costs a lot of money.

1164
02:03:07,060 --> 02:03:10,640
So if they take two years of a career attack and become a plumber

1165
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:14,300
or mechanic so they can earn some money and then go to college,

1166
02:03:14,500 --> 02:03:15,220
that will be fantastic.

1167
02:03:15,240 --> 02:03:17,400
So I'll look forward to work with you in El Camino

1168
02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:19,520
because, like I said, we have done great things

1169
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:22,860
and you will teach the value of career attacks.

1170
02:03:23,060 --> 02:03:23,360
Thank you.

1171
02:03:24,100 --> 02:03:27,960
Thank you. I'm not going anywhere yet but I look forward to working with you no matter

1172
02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:36,220
what happens. Working with the council. All right. Good good. So I like to find out

1173
02:03:36,220 --> 02:03:41,340
because there's rumors that out there that you know that you might be thinking about staying

1174
02:03:41,340 --> 02:03:49,580
so could you clarify that? I mean we should because there's rumors people running around

1175
02:03:52,120 --> 02:03:55,440
I'm looking into it, I'm looking to the best way to further people.

1176
02:03:55,980 --> 02:03:56,140
Okay.

1177
02:03:56,500 --> 02:03:56,580
Good.

1178
02:03:57,100 --> 02:04:03,700
Well, the reason being is because, you know, I know that when you went from the Hawthorne

1179
02:04:03,700 --> 02:04:07,480
School Board to the City Council, you resigned your position on the Hawthorne School Board.

1180
02:04:08,180 --> 02:04:13,680
When Mr. Monteiro recently came onto the Hawthorne School Board, he resigned his position on

1181
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:14,420
the City Council.

1182
02:04:14,420 --> 02:04:30,100
So, from the school board, right, and frankly, a lot of the residents out there did not have the opportunity to hear from you that your intention might be to try to serve on both positions.

1183
02:04:30,340 --> 02:04:39,060
But for that reason, I like to ask our city attorney, is there anything that prevents the any current city council member, Mr.

1184
02:04:39,060 --> 02:04:42,820
Mr. Michelin from, in particular, from serving dual roles.

1185
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:45,040
I mean, do you have any information of that on that?

1186
02:04:46,100 --> 02:04:48,320
Because I can put together a legal confidential.

1187
02:04:49,100 --> 02:04:52,980
It's not he's still on the count so until he takes

1188
02:04:52,980 --> 02:04:53,820
the oath of office.

1189
02:04:55,260 --> 02:04:57,960
So I'll get you a legal confidential by then.

1190
02:04:58,280 --> 02:04:59,980
Could you put that on white paper just so

1191
02:04:59,980 --> 02:05:02,380
that the whole community could see in case

1192
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:04,240
you have the information compiled?

1193
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:05,200
Yes.

1194
02:05:06,060 --> 02:05:06,280
Okay.

1195
02:05:06,280 --> 02:05:12,600
So let's just kind of just put that to rest and just find out because there's yeah, yes, no's and so

1196
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:15,900
We need to have our city attorney look at that. Okay

1197
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:22,460
But I am really happy of the council that we've had like I said council member

1198
02:05:23,120 --> 02:05:29,660
Angie English for her service really appreciate her we weren't always on the same side of the issues everybody saw that

1199
02:05:29,660 --> 02:05:32,560
You know, it was kind of interesting right for you guys to see some of that

1200
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:37,960
But what I can say is that our heart is with hot thorn, it's still with hot thorn and

1201
02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:38,820
we'll be with hot thorn.

1202
02:05:39,040 --> 02:05:44,120
So I really thank her for all her service with Council Member Michelin as well.

1203
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:50,300
Everybody brings a good, interesting flavor, Councilwoman and Olivia Valentine, Mayor Pro Tem

1204
02:05:50,300 --> 02:05:55,400
Hadara Wad, our new members here, Councilmember Alex Montero.

1205
02:05:55,540 --> 02:05:58,660
Everybody has a different flavor, a different forte.

1206
02:05:58,660 --> 02:06:01,620
Hey, so, I mean, we all kind of sense what they are.

1207
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:02,920
No need to repeat them.

1208
02:06:03,140 --> 02:06:07,140
So, I think it's not a surprise that we are having a rebirth,

1209
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:09,960
a renaissance meaning rebirth in the city of Hawthorne.

1210
02:06:11,260 --> 02:06:16,320
I kind of will think that we can claim that this council body here,

1211
02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:19,660
that is started with us three years ago, accelerated.

1212
02:06:20,180 --> 02:06:24,420
It started turning around, but it didn't really start moving until we assembled

1213
02:06:24,420 --> 02:06:27,720
of this group of people here with Councilwoman Angie Rays English.

1214
02:06:28,680 --> 02:06:33,960
So now, we're going to start, now that we stabilized our economy, first you got to stabilize

1215
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,960
things before you start taking those leaves forward and that's what we've done.

1216
02:06:37,560 --> 02:06:43,960
We've been able to pacify our, you know, our, the tempestuous budgets that we've had and

1217
02:06:43,960 --> 02:06:46,300
the economics here in the city and now we're stabilized everything.

1218
02:06:46,580 --> 02:06:52,460
And now, during those times, we've brought in great businesses, Tesla, SpaceX, I'm sorry,

1219
02:06:52,460 --> 02:07:20,640
But you know, the airport is going for a reason because a lot of people are looking at Hawthorne, so it's good that we're forming this committee to be able to have a good quality of life and see our airport growth, but have a good quality of life for the people who live in the flight path or affected by it is extremely important, just like in the, just like we have increased traffic along the streets, we need to make sure that our infrastructure is kept up to date, expanded, widened, whatever it takes, more signals,

1220
02:07:22,140 --> 02:07:26,700
different types of traffic mechanisms to be able to keep that flow.

1221
02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:30,000
So there's things that we're growing, we're growing as a city, and we need to adapt.

1222
02:07:30,500 --> 02:07:32,500
And we need to make the good and right decisions.

1223
02:07:33,340 --> 02:07:39,620
So I'm very happy that what we have going on here, political stability is extremely important.

1224
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:45,940
In those last three years, have you guys seen us in the newspaper for anything negative?

1225
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:49,580
Drama, like we used to be in the last 15, 20 years?

1226
02:07:49,580 --> 02:07:54,400
you guys remember all the stories no right now you haven't seen it we're good

1227
02:07:54,400 --> 02:08:00,340
we're good and we want to keep it that way we don't want to lose that and and it's

1228
02:08:00,340 --> 02:08:04,820
good it says good energy it's good synergy so let's keep that going so I also was

1229
02:08:04,820 --> 02:08:10,600
at the Marriott grand opening the two hotels excellent beautiful if you go in one

1230
02:08:10,600 --> 02:08:15,620
hotel in the lobbies you see the beach boy theme you actually see records from

1231
02:08:15,620 --> 02:08:19,380
the beach boys you see like different themes on the walls from the beach boys

1232
02:08:19,380 --> 02:08:28,080
If you go inside the rooms, you see pictures and paintings of photographs of surfboards.

1233
02:08:28,460 --> 02:08:31,460
The endless summer picture that you guys always see with the guy in the moon.

1234
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:32,960
You know what I'm talking about, right?

1235
02:08:33,620 --> 02:08:37,460
With the sun in the background and the surfboard standing up,

1236
02:08:37,740 --> 02:08:40,080
and the sun trunks in just a shadow.

1237
02:08:41,020 --> 02:08:42,420
I mean, that's Hawthorne.

1238
02:08:42,500 --> 02:08:44,780
This is all centered around Hawthorne.

1239
02:08:44,780 --> 02:08:52,420
And on the other hotel, we have a technological theme where we have the aviation theme.

1240
02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:58,300
You see in each of the rooms you have pictures from Northrop, the technological history

1241
02:08:58,300 --> 02:08:59,420
of the city of Hawthorne.

1242
02:08:59,500 --> 02:09:01,380
We have a big marquee that's Hawthorne.

1243
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:02,540
It's awesome.

1244
02:09:02,740 --> 02:09:09,880
So I really think the Marriott Group for being able to celebrate Hawthorne in that way,

1245
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:11,100
putting us on a map.

1246
02:09:11,580 --> 02:09:12,680
We're a destination city.

1247
02:09:13,060 --> 02:09:15,940
And as I got quoted in the newspaper, the reality is people,

1248
02:09:17,140 --> 02:09:21,280
when people did not want to come and open up business here in the city of Hawthorne are gone.

1249
02:09:21,740 --> 02:09:24,940
People are calling us, left and right, right Mr. Brian James?

1250
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:29,480
They're calling us, trying to find out how do they apply to do this, how do we buy this property?

1251
02:09:29,660 --> 02:09:31,620
How do we open up this stuff, what is the process?

1252
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:34,760
I'm happy, so I hope you guys are all happy, all right?

1253
02:09:35,420 --> 02:09:36,760
So let's move on to,

1254
02:09:39,380 --> 02:09:40,340
what do we got here?

1255
02:09:40,340 --> 02:09:40,380
Okay,
