00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:47,580 I've met with many of you back then and we've just thought this was a dream 62 00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,530 that we actually will actually build 63 00:02:49,530 --> 00:02:51,300 what we were calling that time Hollywood 64 00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:53,700 Park tomorrow as you recall and at that 65 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:55,890 time we were building we were proposing 66 00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:58,470 to build about 3,000 homes a retail 67 00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,480 center roughly about 500,000 square feet 68 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,110 and 26 acres apart since that time the 69 00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:06,180 project is expanded immensely we went 70 00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:09,780 from 238 acres to now 300 acres so the 71 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:13,340 top half of the project was acquired in 72 00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:18,570 2016 by 2014 by mr. Stan Kroenke and we 73 00:03:18,570 --> 00:03:20,580 came up with a basically a joint venture 74 00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:23,100 run by the Kroenke go organization to 75 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:24,900

00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:31,830 today it's like for every town hall 79 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:33,180 meeting I've always gone over with 80 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,440 what's going on with the stadium what 81 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,760 was going on the stadium but the 82 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,020 questions that I've always come back to 83 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,220 you is what about the rest of the 84 00:03:38,220 --> 00:03:40,350 project about 20 days of the year we'll 85 00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:41,970 have stadium it'll be great it'll be fun 86 00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:44,280 and and you know the Rams will win and 87 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,050 the charges will win and we'll all have 88 00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:48,090 a good time but what about the rest of 89 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:50,130 the 28 20 days of the year what happens 90 00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,390 after the rest of those 20 days of the 91 00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:52,410 year so we're going to talk a little bit 92 00:03:52,410 --> 00:03:53,260 about 93 00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:55,180 what is going to actually happen when 94 00:03:55,180 --> 00:04:00,819 the stadium opens in 2020 so this is 95 00:04:00,819 --> 00:04:03,459 basically an overall site plan I wonder 96 00:04:03,459 --> 00:04:08,730 if I could take this with me a bit maybe 97 00:04:08,730 --> 00:04:14,069 so this is the overall site plan 98 00:04:14,069 --> 00:04:17,350 this is Prairie Boulevard here and this 99 00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:19,180 is century Boulevard so right now we are 100 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:24,789 right here at the casino yeah so right 101 00:04:24,789 --> 00:04:26,740 now we're here at the casino and that 102 00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:28,449 was the first part of the project as you 103 00:04:28,449 --> 00:04:30,520 recalled we had to move the casino in 104 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,940 order to be able to be eligible to bid 105 00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:38,729 and go after the the NFL stadium and so 106 00:04:38,729 --> 00:04:41,229 the casino used to be right about there 107 00:04:41,229 --> 00:04:44,289 we move this here which is now see 108 00:04:44,289 --> 00:04:46,150 outside of you if you were going to top 109 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:47,740 of the parking structure on the third 110 00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:49,479 floor if you're ever out in a sunny day 111 00:04:49,479 --> 00:04:50,919 you'll be able to see a lot of the 112 00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:52,270 construction from the third floor of the 113 00:04:52,270 --> 00:04:54,310 casino and you'll see that the stadium 114 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:55,690 is currently an indica under 115 00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:57,370 construction and a lot of activity has 116 00:04:57,370 --> 00:04:59,830 gone on most of the dirt has been moved 117 00:04:59,830 --> 00:05:01,660 around the stadium is going ten feet 118 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,880 down to ten stories down into the ground 119 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,080 so it doesn't really you know boat too 120 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,910 far over the top of the city and it'll 121 00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:11,440 be covered by a clear structure this 122 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,620 roof we're calling made out of e te Fe 123 00:05:14,620 --> 00:05:16,300 which will be a clear roof for the most 124 00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,729 part and on the opposite side of that 125 00:05:18,729 --> 00:05:20,530 stadium will be a performance art venue 126 00:05:20,530 --> 00:05:23,830 for about 6,000 seats down to about 1500 127 00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:25,360 seats so these are for be for smaller 128 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,030 shows theater that will happen that 129 00:05:28,030 --> 00:05:29,320 wouldn't necessarily happen to the forum 130 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,120 it's on a much smaller late level so if 131 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,300 you went to downtown went to Club Nokia 132 00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:37,750 or Microsoft theater you see those are 133 00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:40,180 bounced against the theaters they handle 134 00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:41,590 different types of audiences and that's 135 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:43,120 what this performance arts venue will do 136 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,220 and in the middle of that it's about a 137 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,830 two and a half acre plaza and that plaza 138 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:50,199 will be open to concerts and outdoor 139 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:52,780 activities anything we're hoping to at 140 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:54,669 some point to get the NFL Combine in 141 00:05:54,669 --> 00:05:56,470 that facility so it'll be a lot of 142 00:05:56,470 --> 00:05:58,330 activity going on outside of just game 143 00:05:58,330 --> 00:06:01,360 days what we preserved from the old 144 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520 Hollywood Park project is the 26 acres 145 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,479 of parts and what I mean by that is that 146 00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:07,340 the first part of the project is going 147 00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:10,400 to open in 2020 will be Lake Park so 148 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,169 you'll see the stadium the performance 149 00:06:12,169 --> 00:06:15,620 art venue and Lake Park open the rest of 150 00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:17,059 the project will develop over a period 151 00:06:17,059 --> 00:06:19,129 of time that will develop another twenty 152 00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:21,559 out our sixteen acres giving a total of 153 00:06:21,559 --> 00:06:23,599 26 acres they'll be a significant park 154 00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:25,400 in the back area here and a parking 155 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,289 which we call a royal park that will run 156 00:06:27,289 --> 00:06:30,080 through the spine of the project these 157 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,860 26 acres Park and I could say this 158 00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,689 unashamedly will be the nicest parks in 159 00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:36,879 LA County 160 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:40,460 . period from the lake park to the 161 00:06:40,460 --> 00:06:43,310 waterfalls to the tot lots to the dog 162 00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:45,830 parks these will be designed by one of 163 00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:47,300 the premier landscapers in los angeles 164 00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,699 meal near lair and associates and will 165 00:06:49,699 --> 00:06:52,009 be maintained by the ownership but be 166 00:06:52,009 --> 00:06:53,810 open to the entire public that was part 167 00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:55,370 of the things that the main ago she ate 168 00:06:55,370 --> 00:06:57,649 it that these would be not public parks 169 00:06:57,649 --> 00:07:01,729 funded by a private owner also opening 170 00:07:01,729 --> 00:07:03,289 day which is what I always get the 171 00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:04,430 inquiries about when it come to these 172 00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:07,699 meetings is the retail center in in red 173 00:07:07,699 --> 00:07:09,289 in the red and this is centering prayer 174 00:07:09,289 --> 00:07:11,139 at the corner of sentry and prairie 175 00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:13,550 leading off the lake edge will be a 176 00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:16,159 retail separate center that will have an 177 00:07:16,159 --> 00:07:18,020 a pedestrian feel to it so if you've 178 00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,060 ever been to the Grove before this will 179 00:07:20,060 --> 00:07:21,529 be designed somewhat similar to the 180 00:07:21,529 --> 00:07:23,990 Grove in terms of one huge Main Street 181 00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:25,909 that you walk down that would be flanked 182 00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:27,919 by different types of

into the fashion 276 00:10:58,380 --> 00:11:00,480 center as your own sort of entity if you 277 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,300 if you're curating unique fashions that 278 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:04,920 are by design so this is not meant that 279 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,690 you go downtown and buy something and 280 00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:08,520 sell in Iraq this is means you are 281 00:11:08,520

one big parking 287 00:11:20,490 --> 00:11:21,690 structure similar to have you ever been 288 00:11:21,690 --> 00:11:23,670 to the growth that feeds everything into 289 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:25,710 this into the development itself and 290 00:11:25,710 --> 00:11:28,350 there's a number of plazas throughout 291 00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:30,270 the development there's even a little 292 00:11:30,270 --> 00:11:33,240 instance Instinct basketball court for 293 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,830 private showings and basketball games 294 00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:38,880 handed up by aliphatic clothing and in 295 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,580 chinchou place and then just a number of 296 00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:43,980 your typical type of retailers bounded 297 00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:46,890 by a lot of local restaurants and 298 00:11:46,890 --> 00:11:48,690 boutique restaurants associated as well 299 00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:50,160 so what does that look like let's take a 300 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,059 look at 301 00:11:51,059 --> 00:11:52,439 what we're actually designing here and 302 00:11:52,439 --> 00:11:54,809 this is the first time you'll be able to 303 00:11:54,809 --> 00:11:57,089 see some of this so this is the movie 304 00:11:57,089 --> 00:11:58,859 theater looking into what we're calling 305 00:11:58,859 --> 00:12:02,189 our fashion Plaza and there be big 306 00:12:02,189 --> 00:12:04,229 screens in the movie plans you could 307 00:12:04,229 --> 00:12:05,819 kind of see the roof of the stadium in 308 00:12:05,819 --> 00:12:07,289 the background here some of the offices 309 00:12:07,289 --> 00:12:10,229 peeking over the the top edge here but 310 00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:12,389 this is the interior of this immense 311 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:15,509 plaza here and the idea is to have these 312 00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:18,419 runway fashion shows going outside of 313 00:12:18,419 --> 00:12:20,939 these fountains on each side that would 314 00:12:20,939 --> 00:12:23,849 lead you into that retail fashion market 315 00:12:23,849 --> 00:12:25,979 at the very bottom down there but the 316 00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:27,629 idea is there's a program this that goes 317 00:12:27,629 --> 00:12:30,389 on for different types of events if game 318 00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:33,809 is going at the stadium we want to be 319 00:12:33,809 --> 00:12:35,789 able to show the game on here so that if 320 00:12:35,789 --> 00:12:36,929 you don't have a ticket or whatever you 321 00:12:36,929 --> 00:12:38,699 can come to the retail center sit in the 322 00:12:38,699 --> 00:12:40,109 middle

--> 00:12:49,559 going to be working with local film and 326 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,409 television producing colleges for their 327 00:12:52,409 --> 00:12:54,149 students to come in and show amateur 328 00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:57,029 films and their productions here and 329 00:12:57,029 --> 00:12:58,829 have different types of screenings here 330 00:12:58,829 --> 00:13:01,349 that you can come and enjoy what our 331 00:13:01,349 --> 00:13:03,959 students are doing today in television 332 00:13:03,959 --> 00:13:11,009 and film this is that sunken-in private 333 00:13:11,009 --> 00:13:13,529 basketball court where that would be 334 00:13:13,529 --> 00:13:16,409 anchored by again big screens and you 335 00:13:16,409 --> 00:13:18,089 might do private showings of private 336 00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:20,309 parties back here but you would also be 337 00:13:20,309 --> 00:13:23,639 curated by a fashion Footwear sports 338 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,799 like a Nike or adidas or something like 339 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:27,779 that that an anchor and management so 340 00:13:27,779 --> 00:13:30,239 you'd have three man basketball watching 341 00:13:30,239 --> 00:13:32,309 the game here at the same time while 342 00:13:32,309 --> 00:13:33,899 other things are so curated into this 343 00:13:33,899 --> 00:13:37,409 private space so the idea behind this retail center is for it to have 344 00:13:37,409 --> 00:13:39,329 different kinds of surprises that as you 345 00:13:39,329 --> 00:13:41,219 turn you don't know what to expect and 346 00:13:41,219 --> 00:13:42,299 you sort

00:13:54,910 before this is that it looking into the 353 00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:56,470 lake the edge of the lake that's coming 354 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:59,290 into the retail center with the hotel

00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:39,420 sworn in office we were down to our last 511 00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:43,440 11 million dollars we were burning on 512 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,230 the average $50,000 a day more in 513 00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:47,820 expenses than where we're taking it in 514 00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:51,690 revenues on a straight-line basis we 515 00:22:51,690 --> 00:22:54,810 would have run out of money within 7 516 00:22:54,810 --> 00:23:01,530 months we were insolvent by our balance 517 00:23:01,530 --> 00:23:03,480 sheet because we owed the employees more 518 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,030 in accrued leave time if they all left 519 00:23:06,030 --> 00:23:08,040 and had to be paid out than we had in 520 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,920 the bank our bonds were darn near junk 521 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:19,110 graded we trimmed trees which we have 19 522 00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:21,840 thousand trees in our inventory and we 523 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,880 were trimming about 1,200 trees a year 524 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,100 which meant whether you need it or not 525 00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:30,090 we're trimming a tree every 20 years we 526 00:23:30,090 --> 00:23:32,730 had to street sweeping machines that 527 00:23:32,730 --> 00:23:35,340 were older than 35 years of age and we 528 00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:38,280 had to street sweeping personnel for 9 529 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,660 square miles one of those machines was 530 00:23:42,660 --> 00:23:45,450 broken at all times but it worked out 531 00:23:45,450 --> 00:23:45,780 well 532 00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:47,880 because one of the street sweepers was 533 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,630 injured at all times so we had a perfect 534 00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:53,250 symbiosis between equipment and 535 00:23:53,250 --> 00:23:56,750 personnel the streets were dirty our 536 00:23:56,750 --> 00:24:00,150 water system was 60 years old and our 537 00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:01,740 youth all of you probably remember back 538 00:24:01,740 --> 00:24:03,960 in 2011 we were having these sinkholes 539 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,810 on century Boulevard because water was 540 00:24:06,810 --> 00:24:08,130 leaking into the ground 541 00:24:08,130 --> 00:24:11,430 eroding the roadway bed century 542 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:13,680 Boulevard was about 15 years overdue at 543 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,540 that time to be redone it was a mess 544 00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:26,670 we had our challenges we cut 140 545 00:24:26,670 --> 00:24:29,040 positions from the organization sixty of 546 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,360 them had people in them in those 547 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,960 positions we discontinued lifetime 548 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,650 medical we had lifetime medical for 549 00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:39,510 every employee in a dependent and it was 550 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:41,790 not funded by the employees or the city 551 00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:44,580 we were banging as we go if we had 552 00:24:44,580 --> 00:24:46,860 escaped the seven-month bankruptcy 553 00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:52,050 figure date by 2017 last year lifetime 554 00:24:52,050 --> 00:24:53,940 medical expenses would have climbed to 9 555 00:24:53,940 --> 00:24:54,780 million a year 556 00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:57,960 and we would have been bankrupt again so 557 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,510 we did the tough stuff we made some 558 00:25:00,510 --> 00:25:02,340 smart decisions we entered into 559 00:25:02,340 --> 00:25:05,550 advertising deals where we put up things 560 00:25:05,550 --> 00:25:08,070 like these billboards that

smart things we entered into an 564 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,590 agreement with Madison Square Garden 565 00:25:19,590 --> 00:25:21,240 where we put up our last 18 million 566 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,510 dollars of redevelopment bond money 567 00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:27,600 towards the renovation of the form and a 568 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,210 hundred million dollars later the form 569 00:25:30,210 --> 00:25:33,150 reopened and AEG and all our competitors 570 00:25:33,150 --> 00:25:34,380 said nobody would come to Englewood to 571 00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:36,290 go to concerts anymore

--> 00:44:31,770 district in the company were about 20% 1003 00:44:31,770 --> 00:44:34,050 of the entire company we serve all of 1004 00:44:34,050 --> 00:44:36,540 the cities of Gardena and Lawndale and 1005 00:44:36,540 --> 00:44:38,880 then a portion of all the other cities 1006 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,530 listed there including Englewood of 1007 00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:42,720 course and some portions of 1008 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:46,020 unincorporated Los Angeles County the 1009 00:44:46,020 --> 00:44:47,640 water delivered to our customers is a 1010 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,859 mixture of ground water pump locally 1011 00:44:49,859 --> 00:44:52,020 here out of the ground an imported water 1012 00:44:52,020 --> 00:44:53,550 that comes from the Metropolitan Water 1013 00:44:53,550 --> 00:44:56,160 District of Southern California and Dave 1014 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,400 will talk a little bit more about that 1015 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,990 so this is our entire system 1016 00:45:00,990 --> 00:45:03,810 so what's shaded in yellow is our whole 1017 00:45:03,810 --> 00:45:05,730 system you'll see it's very large 1018 00:45:05,730 --> 00:45:09,170 we have about 465 miles of pipe that 1019 00:45:09,170 --> 00:45:12,390 circle there basically very generally 1020 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:13,980 shows the portion of it that's in 1021 00:45:13,980 --> 00:45:16,410 Englewood so this map right here shows 1022 00:45:16,410 --> 00:45:20,070 it a little bit better if I try to put 1023 00:45:20,070 --> 00:45:21,810 it's kind of hard to see but all this 1024 00:45:21,810 --> 00:45:24,210 sort of light pink area here is our 1025 00:45:24,210 --> 00:45:26,310 portion of our system that serves Engle 1026 00:45:26,310 --> 00:45:28,560 was so there's Van Ness over here 1027 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,220 Imperial Highway century and then La 1028 00:45:32,220 --> 00:45:38,070 Cienega and so now I'm going to turn it 1029 00:45:38,070 --> 00:45:40,109 over to Dave for a couple of minutes to 1030 00:45:40,109 --> 00:45:47,140 talk to you about water quality 1031 00:45:47,150 --> 00:45:50,089 Thank You Kate good evening everybody 1032 00:45:50,089 --> 00:45:52,950 so I'll talk to you a little bit uh for 1033 00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:55,890 I'd first does anyone know why we add 1034 00:45:55,890 --> 00:46:03,339 fluoride to our drinking water correct 1035 00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:05,569 it's to promote dental health 1036 00:46:05,569 --> 00:46:09,619 specifically to help prevent cavities 1037 00:46:09,619 --> 00:46:11,819 and does anyone know where the sources 1038 00:46:11,819 --> 00:46:16,770 of fluoride come from soy is actually 1039 00:46:16,770 --> 00:46:18,050 naturally occurring in the environment 1040 00:46:18,050 --> 00:46:21,180 but we also add a small amount of 1041 00:46:21,180 --> 00:46:24,000 fluoride to increase the level to the 1042 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,849 level that's recommended by EPA for 1043 00:46:26,849 --> 00:46:33,180 optimal health protection and Florida is 1044 00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:35,369 regulated and we have a lot of different 1045 00:46:35,369 --> 00:46:37,349 measures that we take to ensure that the 1046 00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:39,420 fluoride is at the proper level you 1047 00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:42,359 don't want too much or too little so at 1048 00:46:42,359 --> 00:46:43,710 each of our treatment sites we have 1049 00:46:43,710 --> 00:46:47,130 continuous online analyzers that will 1050 00:46:47,130 --> 00:46:49,890 record the the readings and will 1051 00:46:49,890 --> 00:46:51,450 actually alert one of our operators if 1052 00:46:51,450 --> 00:46:54,980 the levels go outside the control range 1053 00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:57,890 the treatment sites are checked daily 1054 00:46:57,890 --> 00:47:00,569 and the operators calculate the dose 1055 00:47:00,569 --> 00:47:02,160 every single day to make sure it's the 1056 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,339 proper amount we also do distribution 1057 00:47:05,339 --> 00:47:09,270 monitoring the different sites 1058 00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:10,950 throughout our system to ensure that 1059 00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:14,520 every site is within compliance and then 1060 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,859 we also have to notify the state if our 1061 00:47:16,859 --> 00:47:18,859 fluoride levels are out of control range 1062 00:47:18,859 --> 00:47:21,720 two or more times per month so of course 1063 00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:23,310 any time we see the other control range 1064 00:47:23,310 --> 00:47:26,250 we would then go ahead and increase or 1065 00:47:26,250 --> 00:47:28,650 decrease the froid accordingly and then 1066 00:47:28,650 --> 00:47:33,200 we report it to the state monthly so 1067 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,250 generally I was thought it kind of 1068 00:47:35,250 --> 00:47:36,780 interesting there's talk about water in 1069 00:47:36,780 --> 00:47:38,130 general where does your water come from 1070 00:47:38,130 --> 00:47:41,910 and I think it's really fascinating you 1071 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:47,910 can see on the screen here this is all 1072 00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:50,790 California then this is the Metropolitan 1073 00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:52,410 Water District of Southern California 1074 00:47:52,410 --> 00:47:54,810 service area and these are the aqueducts 1075 00:47:54,810 --> 00:47:57,089 from State Water Project and also from 1076 00:47:57,089 --> 00:47:59,880 the Colorado River that feed the 1077 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,980 metropolitan water system in the 1078 00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,240 Metropolitan Water District of Southern 1079 00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:05,730 California has all these different 1080 00:48:05,730 --> 00:48:09,510 customers here and we purchase water 1081 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:12,180 from West Basin and also from Central 1082 00:48:12,180 --> 00:48:15,240 Basin but ultimately it comes a majority 1083 00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:16,860 of our water comes from the metropolitan 1084 00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:18,780 water and we're about 63 percent 1085 00:48:18,780 --> 00:48:21,630 metropolitan water and 36 percent local 1086 00:48:21,630 --> 00:48:24,960 ground water which is the wells that we 1087 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,710 operate so in water industry we use a 1088 00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:30,720 multi barrier approach to protect public 1089 00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:33,360 health Metropolitan Water District is 1090 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,700 imported surface water and they use 1091 00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:40,530 multi barrier treatment for convention 1092 00:48:40,530 --> 00:48:42,720 it's called conventional treatment which 1093 00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,270 is coagulation flocculation sanitation 1094 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:49,220 filtration disinfection and fluoridation 1095 00:48:49,220 --> 00:48:51,570 surface water can have pathogens like 1096 00:48:51,570 --> 00:48:54,030 bacteria protozoans and we want to 1097 00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:55,260 remove all that to make sure the water 1098 00:48:55,260 --> 00:48:57,720 are safe now for Golden State Water 1099 00:48:57,720 --> 00:49:00,210 Company we have ground water wells and 1100 00:49:00,210 --> 00:49:03,090 we also treat our water however most of 1101 00:49:03,090 --> 00:49:05,640 our wells are pretty good water quality 1102 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,790 to begin with and we primarily remove 1103 00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:10,620 iron and manganese which isn't really 1104 00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:12,360 something that's harmful to your health 1105 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,210 but it is a nuisance it causes 1106 00:49:15,210 --> 00:49:16,980 discoloration of water fever turn on 1107 00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:19,920 your faucet and see brown or blackish 1108 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,010 water that's what it is so we remove 1109 00:49:23,010 --> 00:49:25,290 iron and manganese then we disinfect and 1110 00:49:25,290 --> 00:49:28,200 we also add fluoride for the for dental 1111 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:33,120 health as we've mentioned so a lot goes 1112 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,680 on water quality I think it's really 1113 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,560 fascinating which is why I'm so happy to 1114 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,320 be here and explain everything 1115 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,380 there's source water protection and also 1116 00:49:42,380 --> 00:49:45,690 monitoring that we do so part of the 1117 00:49:45,690 --> 00:49:48,030 source water protection is a drinking 1118 00:49:48,030 --> 00:49:50,850 water source assessment and protection 1119 00:49:50,850 --> 00:49:53,490 or D swap and we submit that to the 1120 00:49:53,490 --> 00:49:57,920 state after we do a survey of the 1121 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,780 properties around our wells in certain 1122 00:50:00,780 --> 00:50:02,250 industries might pollute more than 1123 00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:04,980 others and so we identify those as being 1124 00:50:04,980 --> 00:50:07,590 potential sources of contamination and 1125 00:50:07,590 --> 00:50:09,330 we also can drive around and see what 1126 00:50:09,330 --> 00:50:10,240 they're doing 1127 00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,550 visit their sites but we tell the state 1128 00:50:12,550 --> 00:50:14,860 you know basically what we're seeing and 1129 00:50:14,860 --> 00:50:16,360 there's also a database from the state 1130 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,850 that will help us identify those sources 1131 00:50:18,850 --> 00:50:21,460 in some sources could be underground 1132 00:50:21,460 --> 00:50:23,140 storage tanks gas stations are really 1133 00:50:23,140 --> 00:50:26,380 you know popular agriculture dry 1134 00:50:26,380 --> 00:50:29,010 cleaners storm sewers things like that 1135 00:50:29,010 --> 00:50:32,080 also the state particular vulnerability 1136 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,900 assessments which tells us what we need 1137 00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:36,430 to monitor and how often we did in 1138 00:50:36,430 --> 00:50:40,170 monitor and we test for over 230 1139 00:50:40,170 --> 00:50:42,940 contaminants in our drinking water to 1140 00:50:42,940 --> 00:50:45,160 show that it's safe and of course if 1141 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,380 there was higher levels that we would 1142 00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:48,940 add treatment as necessary to make it 1143 00:50:48,940 --> 00:50:54,970 safe also we have a water resources 1144 00:50:54,970 --> 00:50:56,410 department and they work with 1145 00:50:56,410 --> 00:50:59,830 stakeholders in the community such as 1146 00:50:59,830 --> 00:51:02,910 the water replenishment district EPA 1147 00:51:02,910 --> 00:51:06,760 state water boards the water master and 1148 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,760 then basins like ours West base and we 1149 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:15,859 also have some portion of Central Basin 1150 00:51:15,869 --> 00:51:21,400 we also need to ok so quickly here we 1151 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,820 also have concern about security so we 1152 00:51:24,820 --> 00:51:26,770 have a lot of measures in place to help 1153 00:51:26,770 --> 00:51:30,280 prevent intrusion so iron gates fencing 1154 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,650 security alarms motion sensors cameras 1155 00:51:32,650 --> 00:51:37,240 we visit sites daily multi-layered 1156 00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:39,310 control systems access control which is 1157 00:51:39,310 --> 00:51:41,460 allows us to know who came in and when 1158 00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:44,140 also emergency preparedness and response 1159 00:51:44,140 --> 00:51:46,650 plan which we work with the state on to 1160 00:51:46,650 --> 00:51:49,660 be able to notify the public the media 1161 00:51:49,660 --> 00:51:53,440 in case of emergency multi coordinate 1162 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,660 agency coordination is also important as 1163 00:51:55,660 --> 00:51:58,630 well as a Cal Warren which is like a 1164 00:51:58,630 --> 00:52:02,650 multi-agency co-op for equipment and 1165 00:52:02,650 --> 00:52:06,910 other safety further things we might 1166 00:52:06,910 --> 00:52:09,190 need in case for emergency and also the 1167 00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:10,890 California water environment Association 1168 00:52:10,890 --> 00:52:14,710 so I figured bill on here and he can 1169 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:15,790 talk about don't you the capital 1170 00:52:15,790 --> 00:52:16,840 improvements we're doing in our system 1171 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,620 excuse me 1172 00:52:20,630 --> 00:52:24,330 good evening I will let you know I've 1173 00:52:24,330 --> 00:52:25,830 been in the water industry for probably 1174 00:52:25,830 --> 00:52:28,530 about 15 years and I get about 50% of 1175 00:52:28,530 --> 00:52:30,030 what Dave just talked about so don't 1176 00:52:30,030 --> 00:52:32,400 feel bad if you didn't get all of that 1177 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,410 because I don't quite understand it 1178 00:52:34,410 --> 00:52:36,930 either to that end I'm out of the 1179 00:52:36,930 --> 00:52:39,750 capital program Management Group and we 1180 00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:42,530 are responsible for determining 1181 00:52:42,530 --> 00:52:45,360 designing and installing the capital 1182 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,190 equipment necessary to provide water 1183 00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:49,620 from water sources directly to your 1184 00:52:49,620 --> 00:52:53,100 homes to that end how we drive 1185 00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:54,990 everything make our decisions determine 1186 00:52:54,990 --> 00:52:56,790 is based on our vision which really is 1187 00:52:56,790 --> 00:52:59,070 to cost-effectively renew expand 1188 00:52:59,070 --> 00:53:00,510 infrastructure in the communities we 1189 00:53:00,510 --> 00:53:03,060 serve to maintain and improve the 1190 00:53:03,060 --> 00:53:04,590 standard of living for generations to 1191 00:53:04,590 --> 00:53:05,760 come I think you've heard some 1192 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,400 conversations about sometimes people 1193 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,170 don't invest in their infrastructure and 1194 00:53:10,170 --> 00:53:12,060 they pay just like if your car if you 1195 00:53:12,060 --> 00:53:14,250 don't fix your car it doesn't start so 1196 00:53:14,250 --> 00:53:16,320 we believe that we really want to do 1197 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,900 this for the long term to that end you 1198 00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:20,190 can kind of look at our projects and 1199 00:53:20,190 --> 00:53:21,630 break them into three buckets water 1200 00:53:21,630 --> 00:53:24,180 quality which is Dave's talked a lot 1201 00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:25,950 about system reliability which is 1202 00:53:25,950 --> 00:53:28,170 getting the water to you both in normal 1203 00:53:28,170 --> 00:53:29,940 conditions and in emergency conditions 1204 00:53:29,940 --> 00:53:32,190 we've had fires we've we can have 1205 00:53:32,190 --> 00:53:33,870 earthquakes here so we have to make sure 1206 00:53:33,870 --> 00:53:35,670 our infrastructure is designed and we 1207 00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:37,200 can respond and keep that water supply 1208 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,150 going and finally we look at water 1209 00:53:39,150 --> 00:53:41,130 supply cost reduction projects think 1210 00:53:41,130 --> 00:53:42,480 that we can do to lower the cost of 1211 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,090 water to the ago--it community so those 1212 00:53:45,090 --> 00:53:46,800 are sort of three areas we do projects 1213 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,870 put them in those buckets again you've 1214 00:53:48,870 --> 00:53:50,400 seen this map but I only want to bring 1215 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,490 to your attention just real quickly like 1216 00:53:53,490 --> 00:53:55,500 try to use a light saber here 1217 00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:57,990 Golden State Water our water sources are 1218 00:53:57,990 --> 00:54:00,120 here in green our MWD connections are 1219 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,100 here you can see where we have some 1220 00:54:02,100 --> 00:54:03,900 water sources here green means we can 1221 00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:06,180 push water up here brown means we rely 1222 00:54:06,180 --> 00:54:08,370 on this why do we do that or why are we 1223 00:54:08,370 --> 00:54:10,350 concerned about that groundwater is 1224 00:54:10,350 --> 00:54:13,920 about half the cost of MWD water so what 1225 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,540 we're trying to do is we want to is 1226 00:54:15,540 --> 00:54:18,240 whenever we can push groundwater into 1227 00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:21,300 the system because it's cheaper less 1228 00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:23,670 expensive so but it's a balancing act 1229 00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:25,470 because we have groundwater wells 1230 00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:28,290 sometimes the water isn't perfect also 1231 00:54:28,290 --> 00:54:30,630 you can see where the sources are and 1232 00:54:30,630 --> 00:54:31,780 where you're at 1233 00:54:31,780 --> 00:54:34,690 we gotta bring water into this area so 1234 00:54:34,690 --> 00:54:37,000 yeah here's a well right in here but we 1235 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,440 also have water so we have to bring in 1236 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,450 connections and water up these lines if 1237 00:54:40,450 --> 00:54:42,010 you will so again we're trying to supply 1238 00:54:42,010 --> 00:54:44,350 water to this area and you can see by 1239 00:54:44,350 --> 00:54:46,480 these percentages it talks about how 1240 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,710 much we pull into each area so to that 1241 00:54:50,710 --> 00:54:52,090 end when you talk about water quality 1242 00:54:52,090 --> 00:54:55,060 products we do these various projects 1243 00:54:55,060 --> 00:54:56,290 and again we're trying to improve water 1244 00:54:56,290 --> 00:54:58,090 quality we have to meet both federal 1245 00:54:58,090 --> 00:55:00,220 standards state standards and from your 1246 00:55:00,220 --> 00:55:01,990 custom from the inputs from you folks so 1247 00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:03,550 if you don't like the water there's an 1248 00:55:03,550 --> 00:55:06,700 issue you contact us so to that end we 1249 00:55:06,700 --> 00:55:09,820 tend to invest a lot of money a lot of 1250 00:55:09,820 --> 00:55:12,610 this SCADA is automatic system so we can 1251 00:55:12,610 --> 00:55:13,720 control them remotely 1252 00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:15,880 again we knop tamai so we're trying to 1253 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,430 blend ground water with surface water 1254 00:55:18,430 --> 00:55:20,620 and surface water and ground water don't 1255 00:55:20,620 --> 00:55:22,240 always necessarily agree with each other 1256 00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:23,410 they have different physical 1257 00:55:23,410 --> 00:55:25,270 characteristics they have to be treated 1258 00:55:25,270 --> 00:55:26,770 differently when they interact they 1259 00:55:26,770 --> 00:55:29,230 produce things that we have to handle so 1260 00:55:29,230 --> 00:55:31,480 we need to really look at control here 1261 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,850 nitrification again nitrates and 1262 00:55:33,850 --> 00:55:35,680 nitrites are two things that are 1263 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,110 regulated by the division of drinking 1264 00:55:38,110 --> 00:55:40,120 water we have to make sure that we don't 1265 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,910 have an issue with nitrites and forming 1266 00:55:42,910 --> 00:55:44,680 and that's an issue again with surface 1267 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,960 water and groundwater surface water 1268 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,390 being the MWD state water project water 1269 00:55:49,390 --> 00:55:51,190 and groundwater being our Wells and 1270 00:55:51,190 --> 00:55:53,380 finally we have to do enhancement of our 1271 00:55:53,380 --> 00:55:55,090 well sites to be able to make sure the 1272 00:55:55,090 --> 00:55:57,730 water we send to you is in good shape 1273 00:55:57,730 --> 00:56:00,070 some of these wells are older Wells and 1274 00:56:00,070 --> 00:56:01,960 wells are very expensive to punch some 1275 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,070 of them are a million to two and a half 1276 00:56:03,070 --> 00:56:05,380 million dollars per well so we have to 1277 00:56:05,380 --> 00:56:07,090 make sure that we stretch that ass out 1278 00:56:07,090 --> 00:56:08,590 as far as we can and sometimes we need 1279 00:56:08,590 --> 00:56:10,720 to do some treatment at the wells or 1280 00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:12,580 work at the wells to make sure that 1281 00:56:12,580 --> 00:56:13,990 water quality is where it needs to be 1282 00:56:13,990 --> 00:56:16,360 overall in this category about 3.4 1283 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:20,800 million dollars pipeline management just 1284 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,050 real quickly these are the whole system 1285 00:56:23,050 --> 00:56:24,850 reliability issues make sure pipelines 1286 00:56:24,850 --> 00:56:26,770 don't rupture make sure water is there 1287 00:56:26,770 --> 00:56:28,840 and again these are all pipelines that 1288 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,300 we put in this one we're putting in a 19 1289 00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:33,460 but all of these pipelines feed what you 1290 00:56:33,460 --> 00:56:36,490 saw on that map earlier about 13 million 1291 00:56:36,490 --> 00:56:39,250 dollars total from water supply cost 1292 00:56:39,250 --> 00:56:40,930 reduction again we're looking at trying 1293 00:56:40,930 --> 00:56:43,240 to reduce water cost so this includes 1294 00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:45,460 putting ground water treatment date 1295 00:56:45,460 --> 00:56:48,130 about manganese also on these two plants 1296 00:56:48,130 --> 00:56:49,599 we're looking at trying to do some 1297 00:56:49,599 --> 00:56:51,520 advanced treatment to truck in to try to 1298 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,200 take groundwater resources that 1299 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,540 potentially right now stranded and get 1300 00:56:55,540 --> 00:56:57,490 them back online to try to reduce cost 1301 00:56:57,490 --> 00:56:59,920 and finally we have various water 1302 00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,420 quality projects that again all 1303 00:57:01,420 --> 00:57:03,730 dedicated try to reduce that imported 1304 00:57:03,730 --> 00:57:04,930 water which is about twice the cost 1305 00:57:04,930 --> 00:57:07,329 total twelve million dollars in projects 1306 00:57:07,329 --> 00:57:09,280 so roughly we put about twenty million 1307 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:10,960 dollars into the water system to supply 1308 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,849 water to the city of Englewood community 1309 00:57:16,859 --> 00:57:20,140 okay so I think we're just about out of 1310 00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:21,940 time we had a few more slides but what I 1311 00:57:21,940 --> 00:57:24,430 can do very generally and I will say I 1312 00:57:24,430 --> 00:57:26,140 will be here after the meeting to take 1313 00:57:26,140 --> 00:57:28,150 any specific questions but I did want to 1314 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:30,280 make you aware that all of those things 1315 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,230 maintaining water quality meeting 1316 00:57:32,230 --> 00:57:34,270 regulations and making sure that our 1317 00:57:34,270 --> 00:57:36,069 services are reliable means it costs 1318 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:38,319 money so we have a general rate case 1319 00:57:38,319 --> 00:57:39,849 that we have to file every three years 1320 00:57:39,849 --> 00:57:41,740 with the Public Utility Commission we 1321 00:57:41,740 --> 00:57:45,520 just filed one in July of 2017 for rates 1322 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,790 that will take effect in 2019 we do have 1323 00:57:48,790 --> 00:57:50,740 a public participation hearing for that 1324 00:57:50,740 --> 00:57:52,900 rate case if you want to go and hear 1325 00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:56,380 more about it it's on february 1st at 7 1326 00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:58,030 p.m. in Huntington Park I can give you 1327 00:57:58,030 --> 00:58:00,250 all the details after you should if you 1328 00:58:00,250 --> 00:58:02,140 haven't already receive a notice about 1329 00:58:02,140 --> 00:58:03,790 that in the mail that will have all the 1330 00:58:03,790 --> 00:58:06,130 details too but I will be here after the 1331 00:58:06,130 --> 00:58:09,819 meeting to talk to you about it a few 1332 00:58:09,819 --> 00:58:12,790 things so let me into inner Jack give 1333 00:58:12,790 --> 00:58:16,050 her a hand if you would please 1334 00:58:16,060 --> 00:58:18,460 anybody knows when you have the town 1335 00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:20,050 hall meetings with yours truly it's 1336 00:58:20,050 --> 00:58:22,270 where the rubber meets the road so I 1337 00:58:22,270 --> 00:58:25,060 want to talk and ask the those residents 1338 00:58:25,060 --> 00:58:27,430 that live on spinning between a hundred 1339 00:58:27,430 --> 00:58:29,560 and eight on the north to Imperial 1340 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,690 highway on the south to give them a hand 1341 00:58:31,690 --> 00:58:34,090 put in new water lines for you as well 1342 00:58:34,090 --> 00:58:37,570 as new fire extinguish fire 1343 00:58:37,570 --> 00:58:40,540 extinguishers is what fire hydrants as 1344 00:58:40,540 --> 00:58:43,660 well we also have because I've been 1345 00:58:43,660 --> 00:58:45,760 around a few years we also have the 1346 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,810 issue at 117th in Kornblum where their 1347 00:58:49,810 --> 00:58:51,970 facilities located that they reached 1348 00:58:51,970 --> 00:58:54,910 into their pockets and maintained that 1349 00:58:54,910 --> 00:58:56,530 cleanup area that was part of their 1350 00:58:56,530 --> 00:58:57,040 property 1351 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,470 we had the break in water broken water 1352 00:58:59,470 --> 00:59:01,750 main on a concern street we took care of 1353 00:59:01,750 --> 00:59:04,210 that one we had one on shanira Avenue we 1354 00:59:04,210 --> 00:59:05,440 take care of that one we had one on 1355 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,750 thorough we took care of that one this 1356 00:59:07,750 --> 00:59:09,850 is why I'm sharing with you that is 1357 00:59:09,850 --> 00:59:11,440 critical that you interface with our 1358 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,920 water providers to identify but they 1359 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,290 value the city of Englewood and their 1360 00:59:17,290 --> 00:59:19,780 clients and customers and they do the 1361 00:59:19,780 --> 00:59:22,450 extra things needed to make sure you 1362 00:59:22,450 --> 00:59:24,550 have little to no interruption of 1363 00:59:24,550 --> 00:59:26,410 service and also when it comes to 1364 00:59:26,410 --> 00:59:28,060 quality I'm going to reach out to those 1365 00:59:28,060 --> 00:59:30,970 that live in the Imperial village you 1366 00:59:30,970 --> 00:59:32,530 had a number of issues regarding the 1367 00:59:32,530 --> 00:59:34,420 quality of water and I see you out there 1368 00:59:34,420 --> 00:59:36,700 as I'm looking and they're going to stay 1369 00:59:36,700 --> 00:59:38,350 afterwards and if you still have that 1370 00:59:38,350 --> 00:59:40,690 issue with them please make sure that 1371 00:59:40,690 --> 00:59:42,610 you take time to talk to them one on one 1372 00:59:42,610 --> 00:59:44,350 they will take your personal information 1373 00:59:44,350 --> 00:59:47,260 and they'll reach out to you as well so 1374 00:59:47,260 --> 00:59:49,030 I'm gonna allow them to give we'll take 1375 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:50,410 a couple of questions but we're really 1376 00:59:50,410 --> 00:59:53,050 behind on time and so I want to move 1377 00:59:53,050 --> 00:59:54,970 forward on that but I see the okay 1378 00:59:54,970 --> 00:59:56,680 brother young lady behind you brother 1379 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,300 man and they will take brother man next 1380 00:59:58,300 --> 01:00:00,400 if you stand up please so we can get you 1381 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,080 on camera 1382 01:00:03,090 --> 01:00:07,090 good afternoon one question I'd like to 1383 01:00:07,090 --> 01:00:10,120 know if the Golden State Water Company 1384 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:14,290 has a summer program for you where they 1385 01:00:14,290 --> 01:00:17,230 can learn to be chemical engineers on no 1386 01:00:17,230 --> 01:00:20,110 one is necessary and if you do find that 1387 01:00:20,110 --> 01:00:22,990 we need the information if you don't you 1388 01:00:22,990 --> 01:00:24,520 need to take it back and maybe consider 1389 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:29,070 it 1390 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,940 that is a great idea thank you for that 1391 01:00:31,940 --> 01:00:33,980 question we don't

01:03:02,819 --> 01:03:04,680 across the country have very good water 1447 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,420 quality the United States in 1448 01:03:06,420 --> 01:03:08,249 particularly California has

01:14:06,120 driven by the site you've noticed it's 1709 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:09,510 all torn down right so the buildings 1710 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:10,890 that are remaining there are the ones 1711 01:14:10,890 --> 01:14:13,290 that are going to not on the site 1712 01:14:13,290 --> 01:14:15,239 they're actually away from the project 1713 01:14:15,239 --> 01:14:18,000 but if you do have a chance to go by 1714 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,380 there and take a look at it you can see 1715 01:14:19,380 --> 01:14:21,000 the amount of activity that's occurring 1716 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,800 and we're really excited about what's 1717 01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,949 going to be happening there the front 1718 01:14:25,949 --> 01:14:28,290 elevation acts from Prairie is the in 1719 01:14:28,290 --> 01:14:30,630 the primary entry way into the townhomes 1720 01:14:30,630 --> 01:14:33,179 I think I shared with you last time that 1721 01:14:33,179 --> 01:14:34,890 the original target prices for these 1722 01:14:34,890 --> 01:14:36,660 units were somewhere around seven to 1723 01:14:36,660 --> 01:14:37,700 eight 1724 01:14:37,700 --> 01:14:39,950 it's gonna be one point one at 1.2 1725 01:14:39,950 --> 01:14:44,600 million per per unit so get ready to 1726 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,020 stand in line I see you standing in line 1727 01:14:47,020 --> 01:14:49,130 and I think I shared with you before 1728 01:14:49,130 --> 01:14:51,530 that just means y'all stuff is gonna go 1729 01:14:51,530 --> 01:14:54,440 up and up and up so these type of 1730 01:14:54,440 --> 01:14:57,080 projects obviously are walkable they're 1731 01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:58,820 close to where all the activity is going 1732 01:14:58,820 --> 01:15:00,440 to be going on with Hollywood Park in 1733 01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:02,840 the stadium so this is what you see 1734 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:03,980 happening in and around that 1735 01:15:03,980 --> 01:15:05,180 neighborhood and some of y'all know 1736 01:15:05,180 --> 01:15:07,010 folks that live around that neighborhood 1737 01:15:07,010 --> 01:15:09,290 who should be really excited about 1738 01:15:09,290 --> 01:15:11,000 what's happening with the property 1739 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,010 values there but these are going to be 1740 01:15:13,010 --> 01:15:14,630 state-of-the-art buildings and they're 1741 01:15:14,630 --> 01:15:16,430 going to be very impressive but I think 1742 01:15:16,430 --> 01:15:18,140 they'll kind of pale in comparison to 1743 01:15:18,140 --> 01:15:19,550 some of the things I think we're going 1744 01:15:19,550 --> 01:15:21,200 to see later on in the Hollywood Park 1745 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,320 project as we get into this type of 1746 01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,050 development the metro

01:15:38,900 --> 01:15:40,250 and all that kind of good stuff so 1753 01:15:40,250 --> 01:15:41,690 you're starting to get a feel for the 1754 01:15:41,690 --> 01:15:42,830 landscape of what it's going to look 1755 01:15:42,830 --> 01:15:45,080 like they still have a lot of work to 1756 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,080 complete but it is starting to take form 1757 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,820

other things that are going on I think 2045 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:02,940 the councilman asked me to talk about 2046 01:28:02,940 --> 01:28:05,790 the tower that is being erected the 2047 01:28:05,790 --> 01:28:07,920 wireless telecommunication tower that's 2048 01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:12,540 being erected on 110 and Prairie and it 2049 01:28:12,540 --> 01:28:15,659 is a wire telecommunication

01:28:36,360 cleaner side up but the expectation is 2059 01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:38,820 that they'll be removed as once this 2060 01:28:38,820 --> 01:28:41,790 project is completed there so I want to 2061 01:28:41,790 --> 01:28:43,679 thank you for your time I think there's 2062 01:28:43,679 --> 01:28:45,750 a little time for Q&A I also bring the 2063 01:28:45,750 --> 01:28:51,480 councilman up thank you well I told you 2064 01:28:51,480 --> 01:28:53,880 where the rubber meets the road that's 2065 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:55,110 what this town hall meeting is about 2066 01:28:55,110 --> 01:28:56,699 we'll get you a cue it will get your 2067 01:28:56,699 --> 01:28:58,800 question a little bit later before we 2068 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,770 ask for to take questions I thought it's 2069 01:29:01,770 --> 01:29:03,480 on a fair and fitting that you also 2070 01:29:03,480 --> 01:29:05,849 reach out to a person that is on the 2071 01:29:05,849 --> 01:29:08,610 Dyess with me because if you can't count 2072 01:29:08,610 --> 01:29:10,409 the three out of five on the council 2073 01:29:10,409 --> 01:29:12,239 it's difficult to get things 2074 01:29:12,239 --> 01:29:15,570 accomplished and so they put upcoming 2075 01:29:15,570 --> 01:29:17,699 developments that you heard about it 2076 01:29:17,699 --> 01:29:19,230 takes three members on the council or 2077 01:29:19,230 --> 01:29:21,119 the Planning Commission to make sure it 2078 01:29:21,119 --> 01:29:21,790 goes to 2079 01:29:21,790 --> 01:29:24,610 it's only fair and fitting that we 2080 01:29:24,610 --> 01:29:26,650 fought the good fight of faith to make 2081 01:29:26,650 --> 01:29:30,180 sure that we've carved in and crafted 2082 01:29:30,180 --> 01:29:32,880 legal language that we can go after 2083 01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:36,340 cannabis and I mean anywhere from 2084 01:29:36,340 --> 01:29:42,900 cultivating transporting warehousing and 2085 01:29:42,900 --> 01:29:46,650 selling whether it's recreational or 2086 01:29:46,650 --> 01:29:51,010 whether it's for merit medical marijuana 2087 01:29:51,010 --> 01:29:54,750 but it didn't take away the state law 2088 01:29:54,750 --> 01:29:57,970 entitlement that you can have up to six 2089 01:29:57,970 --> 01:30:03,310 plants for yourself in your house in 2090 01:30:03,310 --> 01:30:06,790 your house our coal does we had the 2091 01:30:06,790 --> 01:30:09,280 restriction that you could have it 2092 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,340 outside of your house we require to be 2093 01:30:12,340 --> 01:30:14,470 inside your house but we can't stop you 2094 01:30:14,470 --> 01:30:17,230 from from them having it and the only 2095 01:30:17,230 --> 01:30:19,660 thing we can do as well they may have 2096 01:30:19,660 --> 01:30:22,120 the six they're not for resale to 2097 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,060 anybody else which is another challenge 2098 01:30:25,060 --> 01:30:26,920 where you as neighbors watch it 2099 01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:28,810 neighbors will have to share with us 2100 01:30:28,810 --> 01:30:31,030 because if I see you floating then I 2101 01:30:31,030 --> 01:30:37,390 know you part of that team so we want to 2102 01:30:37,390 --> 01:30:40,090 make sure we carved as much language as 2103 01:30:40,090 --> 01:30:43,660 we could for enforcement because the 2104 01:30:43,660 --> 01:30:45,250 young lady and the gentleman you heard 2105 01:30:45,250 --> 01:30:47,980 before that was with him they're the 2106 01:30:47,980 --> 01:30:50,590 ones that are in the trenches that 2107 01:30:50,590 --> 01:30:52,710 physically have to go door to door 2108 01:30:52,710 --> 01:30:55,450 repeatedly to in order to get enough 2109 01:30:55,450 --> 01:30:59,740 documentation photographs etc to go to 2110 01:30:59,740 --> 01:31:02,320 the City Attorney's Office and said now 2111 01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,720 we're ready to prosecute not only the 2112 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:08,080 business but the owner as well so let's 2113 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:10,469 give them a hand against you with leaves 2114 01:31:10,469 --> 01:31:13,800 and before they were able to pound the 2115 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:15,750 pavement again it took members on the 2116 01:31:15,750 --> 01:31:17,940 council to make it happen one of my key 2117 01:31:17,940 --> 01:31:19,710 votes that helped us move and it did 2118 01:31:19,710 --> 01:31:21,449 prove it unanimous but one of my key 2119 01:31:21,449 --> 01:31:23,730 votes that always was there and had my 2120 01:31:23,730 --> 01:31:26,010 back and that is councilmember Alex 2121

obviously there's there's gonna be a lot 2184 01:34:15,220 --> 01:34:17,160 of challenges along our major 2185 01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:19,990 thoroughfares throughout the city and 2186 01:34:19,990 --> 01:34:21,640 that's just one of the things that we're 2187 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,080 working through the beautiful thing 2188 01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:24,280 about what's happening in the city of 2189 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,110 Englewood is as the property values are 2190 01:34:26,110 --> 01:34:28,420 increasing what you're beginning to see 2191 01:34:28,420 --> 01:34:31,390 is people step in and step up so you 2192 01:34:31,390 --> 01:34:33,010 know that's the existing property owner 2193 01:34:33,010 --> 01:34:35,260 saying now I understand the value of my 2194 01:34:35,260 --> 01:34:37,930 property and I need to look at it and 2195 01:34:37,930 --> 01:34:40,360 look at opportunities for that we see a 2196 01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:41,890 lot of joint ventures that are beginning 2197 01:34:41,890 --> 01:34:43,690 to go on and some of these things you 2198 01:34:43,690 --> 01:34:45,670 don't you won't see for several years 2199 01:34:45,670 --> 01:34:48,100 where you're really begin to see the 2200 01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:52,720 uptick is going to be right around 2020 2201 01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:59,050 and in the end because what's what's happening is all of the 2202 01:34:59,050 --> 01:35:02,410 positioning is tailored towards the 2203 01:35:02,410 --> 01:35:04,180 stadium the stadium becomes such a 2204 01:35:04,180 --> 01:35:07,000 crucial point so a lot of the work 2205 01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:08,020 that's being done in the background 2206 01:35:08,020 --> 01:35:09,880 meeting with planning staff talking to 2207 01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:12,250 economic development trying to make sure 2208 01:35:12,250 --> 01:35:14,560 that they have the proper deals that 2209 01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:15,990 they have to do in the background or 2210 01:35:15,990 --> 01:35:18,460 happening right now and I get the phone 2211 01:35:18,460 --> 01:35:20,230 calls and I sit in on the meetings and 2212 01:35:20,230 --> 01:35:22,690 we talk about things to make sure that 2213 01:35:22,690 --> 01:35:24,510 they're moving in the right direction 2214 01:35:24,510 --> 01:35:26,620 some of the activities as you're talking 2215 01:35:26,620 --> 01:35:28,780 about like prostitution etc the Chief of 2216 01:35:28,780 --> 01:35:30,940 Police is certainly aware of all that we 2217 01:35:30,940 --> 01:35:33,400 we've hired and increase our are force 2218 01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:34,870 to make sure that we're going to be 2219 01:35:34,870 --> 01:35:36,580 addressing those issues but these 2220 01:35:36,580 --> 01:35:37,720 some of the things that are going to 2221 01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:39,730 come along with as we move forward with 2222 01:35:39,730 --> 01:35:41,620 the city but the city is aware of it and 2223 01:35:41,620 --> 01:35:43,150 we're doing everything in our power to 2224 01:35:43,150 --> 01:35:45,100 try and minimize those negative impacts 2225 01:35:45,100 --> 01:35:49,660 so I will answer your question regarding 2226 01:35:49,660 --> 01:35:54,730 Imperial Highway remember I come last so 2227 01:35:54,730 --> 01:35:57,820 I am the closer okay so we're going to 2228 01:35:57,820 --> 01:35:59,680 get that question and just when I tell 2229 01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:01,810 you to pick up your pen just be ready to 2230 01:36:01,810 --> 01:36:04,030 write young lady up front here please 2231

control of who could sell 2234 01:36:12,940 --> 01:36:18,640 and the cannabis yes but it seemed like 2235 01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:20,230 I could get high just walking down the 2236 01:36:20,230 --> 01:36:26,200 block seriously Don and I have to go 2237 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:28,630 through security to get to work and 2238 01:36:28,630 --> 01:36:30,850 Nikki I'm sure you know that's my 2239 01:36:30,850 --> 01:36:38,870 concern I could drive in the car too 2240 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,590 it's important I was just up in Seattle 2241 01:36:41,590 --> 01:36:42,970 Washington where it's been legal for 2242 01:36:42,970 --> 01:36:45,790 some time and I was in the park and I 2243 01:36:45,790 --> 01:36:48,520 didn't realize it was illegal contact hi 2244 01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,940 that yeah I mean in the environment once 2245 01:36:51,940 --> 01:36:53,920 you legalize it and you allow people to 2246 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:54,970 be able to do it now there are 2247 01:36:54,970 --> 01:36:56,380 restrictions people shouldn't be driving 2248 01:36:56,380 --> 01:36:59,050 with it and whatnot but the police hands 2249 01:36:59,050 --> 01:37:01,000 are kind of hampered that's where the 2250 01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,160 city in terms of controlling some of the 2251 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:05,950 nuances that you see but the state now 2252 01:37:05,950 --> 01:37:07,660 is gonna realize the impact of what 2253 01:37:07,660 --> 01:37:09,160 they've done now the good thing about it 2254 01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:11,680 went through a referendum process who 2255 01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:13,810 knows what we see going on down the road 2256 01:37:13,810 --> 01:37:16,510 once we have the effects of what it is I 2257 01:37:16,510 --> 01:37:19,870 apologize I try and be careful

01:42:18,510 --> 01:42:19,650 were come against this would probably 2372 01:42:19,650 --> 01:42:23,280 more procedural then issues of whether 2373 01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,110 or not we can regulate it or not so 2374 01:42:25,110 --> 01:42:26,880 we'll see how that kind of works out 2375 01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,310 this is all new for California other 2376 01:42:29,310 --> 01:42:30,510 states have been doing it in the 2377 01:42:30,510 --> 01:42:32,880 councilmen attended a bunch of the 2378 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:35,070 meetings with us and talked through that 2379 01:42:35,070 --> 01:42:37,980 and let me tell you the council would 2380 01:42:37,980 --> 01:42:40,380 call and you say Chris are you nobility 2381 01:42:40,380 --> 01:42:42,870 yeah I need you up on the ninth floor I

we're working through 2385 01:42:48,780 --> 01:42:51,540 that legal process excuse me and staying 2386 01:42:51,540 --> 01:42:54,840 specifically with legal stuff and Jerry 2387 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,370 can help me if I miss one there's two 2388 01:42:56,370 --> 01:43:00,570 items in the state law that gives the 2389 01:43:00,570 --> 01:43:03,360 Charter sitter city's the authority and 2390 01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:05,159 that's governing our city through the 2391 01:43:05,159 --> 01:43:07,350 police department so we're able to 2392 01:43:07,350 --> 01:43:08,940 enforce that I can't think of a second 2393 01:43:08,940 --> 01:43:12,060 offhand but I do know that because we 2394 01:43:12,060 --> 01:43:14,520 are charter City we also have a right 2395 01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:18,330 for us to enforce on a public law 2396 01:43:18,330 --> 01:43:19,860 enforcement and that is one of the 2397 01:43:19,860 --> 01:43:22,080 things we did in advance we knew that 2398 01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,870 this was coming it was a steam train 2399 01:43:24,870 --> 01:43:26,429 coming down that track it was just a 2400 01:43:26,429 --> 01:43:27,600 matter of time it was going to hit and 2401 01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:29,790 we knew January 1st was it two more 2402 01:43:29,790 --> 01:43:31,350 questions and we need to move on because 2403 01:43:31,350 --> 01:43:33,810 I want to talk to y'all so this 2404 01:43:33,810 --> 01:43:35,190 gentleman right here and this general 2405 01:43:35,190 --> 01:43:36,690 over here okay Commissioner will get you 2406 01:43:36,690 --> 01:43:38,489 will make three final ones go ahead 2407 01:43:38,489 --> 01:43:39,800 while we land of course 2408 01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:43,849 of cannabis I like to know what is the 2409 01:43:43,849 --> 01:43:46,969 law regarding the air quality air 2410 01:43:46,969 --> 01:43:49,400 quality management because here in 2411 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,739 Englewood where I live was always a 2412 01:43:51,739 --> 01:43:54,099 constant flow of air from west to east 2413 01:43:54,099 --> 01:43:58,010 and a lot of nice is down and a lot of 2414 01:43:58,010 --> 01:44:00,619 nights most nights issues I'm not saying 2415 01:44:00,619 --> 01:44:02,059 this my neighbor whoever it is but it's 2416 01:44:02,059 --> 01:44:03,230 pretty close 2417 01:44:03,230 --> 01:44:06,469 comes into my house and I cannot stand 2418 01:44:06,469 --> 01:44:11,160 the order what can be done about that 2419 01:44:11,170 --> 01:44:16,599 the state made a determination to allow 2420 01:44:16,599 --> 01:44:22,610 cannabis for recreational purposes the 2421 01:44:22,610 --> 01:44:25,340 regulations that have been established 2422 01:44:25,340 --> 01:44:28,400 are established to protect us as 2423 01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:31,489 individual municipalities where it gets 2424 01:44:31,489 --> 01:44:35,780 very interesting is air flow and just 2425 01:44:35,780 --> 01:44:37,639 like young ladies were talking here 2426 01:44:37,639 --> 01:44:41,090 earlier you don't control that aspect of 2427 01:44:41,090 --> 01:44:44,059 it but what you're gonna hear a whole 2428 01:44:44,059 --> 01:44:45,770 lot of people say is close the window 2429 01:44:45,770 --> 01:44:49,010 and turn on air condition because this 2430 01:44:49,010 --> 01:44:52,790 is not going to go away so I'm sorry to 2431 01:44:52,790 --> 01:44:54,650 tell you that but that is one of the 2432 01:44:54,650 --> 01:44:57,199 situations and it's not considered to be 2433 01:44:57,199 --> 01:45:01,340 harmful so AQMD would not be regulating 2434 01:45:01,340 --> 01:45:08,059 that he was referencing about the new 2435 01:45:08,059 --> 01:45:11,090 aroma in your neighborhood but we have 2436 01:45:11,090 --> 01:45:12,949 been dealing with people vaping for some 2437 01:45:12,949 --> 01:45:16,309 time which is even worse and the law 2438 01:45:16,309 --> 01:45:19,250 allows that if a cigarette and tamanna 2439 01:45:19,250 --> 01:45:21,650 and cigars allowed to be smoked at look 2440 01:45:21,650 --> 01:45:24,920 out for marijuana or cannabis that's why 2441 01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:26,780 we had to make sure we put the laws down 2442 01:45:26,780 --> 01:45:29,329 upfront to make sure we have at it 2443 01:45:29,329 --> 01:45:31,400 students tone two more questions that we 2444 01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:32,690 really need to
