[0:09] Please stand and join me for the invocation by the pastor's defuse and remain standing for the touch of allegiance by Mayor Paul Tan, and the anti-nautero.
[0:20] Let's
[0:23] pray.
[0:24] Lord God, we give you honor and praise and glory.
[0:27] We thank you for this evening, bringing us here safely.
[0:30] We thank you that you help us govern policy, help us look at our community, help us advocate
[0:38] for all our citizens.
[0:41] And we thank you for the community that we have.
[0:44] We thank you for the blessings.
[0:46] You've imposed upon us.
[0:48] And so Lord, we just thank you that you continue to watch over us and guide us and
[0:52] that we do, and this will give you thanks and praise and honor and glory in the Lord's name.
[0:57] We pray.
[1:01] He speaks of flag.
[1:02] Put your hand over your heart.
[1:03] Ready to begin.
[1:05] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
[1:09] And as you serve you, I would like to wish you success.
[1:12] One nation, under God, in the name of this whole of the United States.
[1:16] Just as far as I know.
[1:20] Thank you, Council member.
[1:21] Thank you very much, Mr. Steve DeBruce, and thank you, Mayor Potel, and thank you,
[1:25] Otel.
[1:26] Go call, please.
[1:27] Council Member Darius.
[1:28] Here.
[1:29] Council Member Liz.
[1:30] Council Member Straget.
[1:30] Absent.
[1:31] Mayor Potel.
[1:32] Here.
[1:33] Here.
[1:34] Before we get into the period of presentations and prognations, it's one of the recognises of former
[1:38] school board member Chris Fincers with us today.
[1:47] With that, we have a special presentation by District 57, Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon.
[1:55] That's what I was going to say.
[1:57] She's always worried.
[1:58] Thank you.
[2:00] So, let's move on to the start of the five-point to the 7th anniversary of the
[2:06] Yes, Mr. Mayor.
[2:07] Members of the City Council.
[2:08] We do have a 70th Anniversary Recognition for Howard and Lil' Legit.
[2:12] The City's Anniversary Recognition Program recognizes residents on their 50th, 60th, and 70th
[2:18] wedding anniversaries.
[2:19] Upon reaching these milestones, the city presents the couple with a certificate to commemorate
[2:23] the occasion.
[2:25] Howard and Lil' Legit met on a blind date in 1914.
[2:28] They dated for three years and married on November 11, 1951.
[2:33] Over the next nine years, they had two daughters, Debbie and Kathleen,
[2:37] and in December of 1960, purchased their lifelong home here in Lomburata.
[2:41] The following year, they had a son, Mark.
[2:44] The family of five found plenty of family entertainment in Lomburata
[2:47] and joined such places as Lomburata Regional Park and the Community Pool.
[2:52] Visiting the Lomburata Theatre for the Performing Arts and other favorites
[2:55] that no longer exist here in Lomerate, such as the Carmel Corn store, Orange Julius and
[2:59] Ogles.
[3:00] Howard was employed in the aerospace industry and Lolo was a schoolteacher.
[3:04] Their son Mark began a law enforcement career with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
[3:08] Department in 1983 and briefly served here in Lomerate before embarking upon a 30-year career
[3:12] outside the area.
[3:14] Their daughters, Debbie and Kathleen also pursued their own ventures outside of Lomerate.
[3:19] All three children frequently returned to Lomerate to be with their parents.
[3:22] Howard and Lola have two grandchildren, five great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
[3:29] Over the many years Howard and Lola have enjoyed an active lifestyle which includes going to the gym,
[3:34] being involved with their church, shopping and joint performances at the Laura Theatre
[3:38] and playing senior softball and badman and taking care of their home.
[3:42] Today, we have the last remaining original homeowners in their immediate neighborhood.
[3:46] Howard and Lola credit their 94 year longevity and 70 year marriage to a very strong faith
[3:52] and an active lifestyle. With that, it is recommend the City Council present Howard and Lola
[3:56] Legit with a 70th wedding anniversary certificate and two tickets to the Lomerate Theater for the Performing
[4:02] Arts.
[4:14] Congratulations Howard. First question. What attracted you to Howard? It was a blind date.
[4:26] I was very sweet, kind, and good luck.
[4:31] I know.
[4:33] The same question.
[4:38] Beautiful.
[4:39] Beautiful.
[4:45] Beautiful.
[4:46] Here in Hawaii.
[4:59] I know this is that you started off with beauty, superficial.
[5:04] Then you started off with the sweet and then you looked as after it.
[5:10] And you walked about the north.
[5:11] And we praised the north.
[5:13] That's it.
[5:14] Well, here is a recognition from the city on the 7th, 7th, wedding anniversary.
[5:20] And here are two tickets to the theater.
[5:22] You might have given you the first line day.
[5:25] And here is a duplicate for a recognition from California
[5:28] that just dates yourself.
[5:30] So congratulations.
[5:44] I want to.
[5:45] Is it comfortable?
[5:47] Oh, come on.
[5:47] Let's take a look.
[5:51] Is this still good?
[5:57] Oh, shoot.
[6:18] And we can go up a bit.
[6:22] Don't miss a few of the ticket tickets.
[6:23] I shouldn't block that.
[6:24] Come on in the distance.
[6:29] All the kids here.
[6:31] All the kids.
[6:49] All the teachers.
[6:49] All the teachers.
[6:50] No.
[6:52] Well, this is some daughter.
[6:54] Did you have any?
[6:56] Yes.
[6:57] All right.
[6:58] And daughter?
[6:59] Yes.
[7:00] Happy.
[7:01] Can I ask you a second question?
[7:03] Push your favorite.
[7:22] We'll
[7:39] wait to roll us to town and how we're going to go back to item five on one with a special presentation by Assemblywoman, he's a Calderon.
[7:58] Thank you. Good evening. I'd like to thank Mayor Yang and City Council for inviting me to be here tonight.
[8:05] As a newer assembly member, I just finished my first year.
[8:10] One of my top priorities is bringing resources back to the district,
[8:15] and that includes the City of Lomerate.
[8:18] So this year, my staff and I worked really hard with the chair of the Assembly Budget Committee,
[8:25] and my colleagues in the Senate, and we're able to secure funding to create a pedestrian bridge at Creek Park.
[8:35] So, for many in our community, walking through Creek Park and enjoying the outdoor space,
[8:42] it's been a respite from the pandemic and what we went through the last year and a half.
[8:47] And the construction of a new bridge will improve accessibility within the park and ensure
[8:53] that the area's residents can continue to enjoy views of the Lomerate Creek for years to come.
[9:00] So, tonight, it's my pleasure to present the city of Lamarata with a check for $800,000
[9:06] from the governor's historic budget to support the construction of Bethesda and Bridge and Creek Park.
[9:23] We have a lot of us, but thank you for understanding the risks of our community.
[9:27] What you're generous, grant, and I hope that when we have the ground breaking, you can come to pick a picture with us.
[9:35] We're still thankful.
[9:37] You know, sometimes I'm rather, I think, we're a bit timbre, but I don't suggest that.
[9:41] I feel like people won't think that I need the money you think that word just gives word.
[9:45] Don't ask financial stewardship and safety that we don't need it, but we do.
[9:52] We're just like the industry. We all are off to down, but I've got economic cycles.
[9:56] And this is a great, great, great help. Thank you so much.
[9:59] You can give
[10:13] you my offshore account now, we didn't give you that.
[10:34] Wow,
[10:40] that's a
[11:29] big good check, I'll never see you.
[11:33] Next, we have a recognition of the formal community foundation member, Mr. Sieg Manager.
[11:38] Yes, Mary, we're going to have to reschedule this one, and of course, she's not feeling well this evening.
[11:43] God, God.
[11:44] Then, next week, we have our graduates at the Biopoly University's Meds of Women's Swimming
[11:48] and Diamond Teams.
[11:50] Yes, Mr. Mayor, members of the City Council, and the City recognizes local teams whose efforts
[11:54] have allowed them to reach championship status.
[11:57] These teams bring recognition to our community, and tonight by the University's Meds and Women's
[12:02] Swimming and Diamond Teams are being recognized for winning their first ever Pacific, collegiate
[12:07] swimming and diving conference championships.
[12:08] The Bile University men's swimming and diving team was dedicated to work hardware is 20, 20, 20, 21 season.
[12:16] The team else scored the closest opponent by over 300 points as it took the title and competition against 7 teams.
[12:22] The men's team achieved 7 event victories and compiled 957 total team points over the course of the meet on the Pacific Colleges swimming and diving conference championship title.
[12:32] Patrick Wagner led the effort winning three individual conference titles in the individual
[12:37] Medley 200 butterfly and 200 freestyle events.
[12:41] A biolum mends team also in the freestyle relays.
[12:44] Matthew Treha was named Biola's newcomer of the year during the annual eddies awards for the season.
[12:51] The university's women swimming in the IT was a dominant force with a perfect 2020 and 2021 season going 7-0 in dual meets.
[12:59] The women's team defeated NCAA Division 1 opponents Pepperdine learning out Cal Poly and Cal
[13:05] Bautist in Competition.
[13:07] The women's team scored 1,494 points in the 12th team competition narrowly beaten out Pepperdine
[13:13] and earning the Pacific collegiate swimming and diving conference championship title.
[13:18] The women's team set new schoolwriters, which held a clinched team wins.
[13:22] The season also included some stand-out individual performances.
[13:25] is 3 team members, Megan Tolman, Koya Vos, and Grace Kling qualified for the NCAA Division
[13:31] 2, National Championship meet, tripling Biola's representation from the previous season.
[13:37] Megan Tolman finished eighth in the 100 breaststroke turn, Biola's first ever NCAA
[13:41] Allamera and first team honors in swimming and diving. Koya Vos and Grace Kling also earned
[13:47] allamera and honors in their freestyle and breaststroke events. Megan Tolman was named Biola's new
[13:52] the year during the annual Eddie's Awards for the 2020-21 season.
[13:57] Both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams demonstrated
[14:00] extraordinary talent, teamwork, commitment, and determination to achieve
[14:03] championship status. And we have this evening head coaches Nathan Harding and
[14:09] Rachel Stinchcomb. We're going to introduce this year the swimming and diving swimmers.
[14:15] All right. Thank you guys so much for having us.
[14:24] We're going to start with our 2021
[14:26] We're going to move in team roster and we're going to list all the names, so those students weren't able to be with us, but we're going to list all through the agnos and our first one's Christina Horcerido.
[16:36] We're going to go
[16:45] to a photo first. You might not have gotten as difficult as for you. Can you guys walk you into your walk?
[18:19] All right, now for our main team, we have no base in
[18:35] the Jackson Black.
[19:06] Thanks to the blue pants,
[19:24] that's where you have Andrew Holmes,
[19:31] Matthew Holmes.
[19:54] All right, now, that's where we're going to start with.
[20:19] Thanks to you, Jake Nicholson,
[20:34] I see this.
[20:47] Thanks to you, we have 20 knots.
[21:00] Thanks to you.
[21:01] Hey, you're on the Dillon pie.
[21:16] One test.
[23:37] The number should be on the cover.
[23:41] We may have there all just a good looking function.
[23:44] This is amazing.
[23:45] Wow.
[23:46] So, what last question?
[23:48] Can you talk about the championship mindset?
[23:50] Yeah, I'm new.
[23:51] Kind of.
[23:52] We go to the election coming up, actually.
[23:54] So, we need to go
[24:31] in the front there to talk.
[24:34] We must go not being in the beginning.
[24:36] I'll be right there.
[25:39] Yeah, you can.
[25:41] Yeah.
[25:42] Good job, gentlemen.
[25:49] Yeah.
[25:50] Congrats, girl.
[25:52] See you in the next year.
[25:57] Yeah.
[25:57] You can do that.
[25:58] You can do that.
[26:00] Yep.
[26:01] One more.
[26:01] One more next year.
[26:03] Not too much pressure.
[26:04] You know, coach.
[26:05] A pressure.
[26:06] No pressure.
[26:08] Next, we have registered on an employee for years of service from the Peter for the third
[26:12] museum in the third meeting in a little show.
[26:15] It's going to be too.
[26:17] Well, I could think of a welcome we did.
[26:20] This misery.
[26:20] We have recognition of Josh Bessema.
[26:22] It is 20 years of service here with the city of Lomburata.
[26:32] I'd like to invite Josh to the front of the room and I'll read a little bit about his BIOS
[26:36] Josh was hired in July 1999 as an hour of time stage-hand at the theater.
[26:42] He was promoted a full-time sound engineer in September 2001.
[26:46] He's responsible for all aspects of the theater sound system as well as the overall quality of the audio and the auditorium.
[26:52] He is the city's in-house sound designer and frequently serves as a sound operator for shows in the Broadway series, special presentations and shows by rental groups.
[26:59] Josh also oversees the wired and wireless microphones video monitors playback systems and other audio visual equipment in the theater
[27:07] We're very fortunate to have such a technologically savvy dedicated and valuable employee serving the community
[27:13] Congratulations Josh. Thank you
[27:21] You have the one of the most important jobs at the theater
[27:24] Would you say it be ten
[27:26] Okay, so all that you've done to make sure you get your way
[27:30] I didn't know your boss was there.
[27:32] I didn't very love you.
[27:36] How do I know all the politicians I know?
[27:39] I do want to say to you what you want to do.
[27:41] I don't want to think to the city for supporting the theater.
[27:45] That's fantastic.
[27:46] Jamie, you want to come out and take a picture with your star?
[27:51] No, no.
[27:53] Oh, you got to take this to the theater right now.
[28:05] Next, that we can take a one in the work, and then we can start at seven o'clock sharp.
[28:20] We've got to come back to this.
[28:25] There's this?
[28:26] I feel better.
[28:29] Oh, separate.
[28:31] The healing people come and talk with.
[28:33] Just, she's could come back to the public home in there.
[28:36] What I would do is live a public hearing.
[28:38] 8.1.
[28:39] And then public comment.
[28:40] Okay.
[28:41] Okay.
[28:43] So we'll just take 8.1 out of work.
[28:48] Okay.
[28:48] You're going to start right at 7.
[28:50] Yeah.
[28:50] I will help you guys to think about it.
[29:54] We're going to be soon.
[29:55] The meeting will begin.
[29:56] We're going to come back to item number six and item number seven.
[30:00] We're going to start with 8.1 public hearing. We're going to start with the staff report. Then we're going to ask the public, if they want to provide input. Then we'll do the one we start with the staff report. Mr. Seed Manager.
[30:16] Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Again, the city is engaged in a number of public hearings regarding the redistricting process.
[30:21] As the council is aware, we've contracted with our consultant, NDC, and we have Dr. Levitt with us this evening along with Kay Benson.
[30:29] who will be giving the report on this item prior to the hearing.
[30:39] Good evening.
[30:40] Good evening.
[30:41] Let's make sure this is on.
[30:43] Good evening, Mayor.
[30:44] Ang.
[30:45] Members of the Council.
[30:46] And members of the.
[30:48] My name is Dr. Justin Leather with National Demographics.
[30:51] And I'm joined by cave incident.
[30:53] Also of National Demographics.
[30:55] We're here to present on the draft maps that we've received so far.
[31:00] And hopefully lead to an engaging public discussion tonight leading to potentially, you know, hopefully the adoption of a map.
[31:10] Just to kind of provide a brief overview of where we have been.
[31:14] We did have two initial hearings, August 24th and September 20th,
[31:18] set out of 28th.
[31:20] In addition to these were kind of like introductory sessions were reeducated,
[31:25] what was coming and one of the reasons why we were doing this was because the census data was
[31:31] delayed and it would take until September to get that revised census data because of delays
[31:38] with the 2020 census we didn't even receive data from the census bureau until mid August and we
[31:43] did not receive the states adjusted census numbers until the end of September. We started our formal
[31:49] process October 12th with a community workshop on October 28th, we introduce some draft maps
[31:56] on November 9th and that brings us here to a public hearing to discuss and revise the draft
[32:01] maps and discuss the election sequence if needed. This is really done in anticipation of that
[32:07] November 15th deadline that really applies to all cities that have an election in the June primary
[32:13] election next year. Just as a reminder, the criteria that we use to evaluate the maps,
[32:19] The map must be substantively equal in terms of total residence.
[32:23] The map also must comply with the federal voting rights act.
[32:27] Race, the ethnicity cannot be used as the primary consideration,
[32:31] but protected class status groups that have historically faced discrimination
[32:35] or barriers to registration and voting have to have their rights protected
[32:39] as we look throughout all of the criteria.
[32:43] In the middle column, the Fair Maps Act lays out this new set of criteria.
[32:47] District must be contiguous, which means they must touch, generally by road if possible.
[32:54] We need to have undivided neighborhoods and communities of interest, although as we've
[32:59] seen over the maps, getting equal population is our first priority, and so that does mean
[33:05] breaking up many of our communities if and only to make that population deviation number work.
[33:11] We need to follow easily identifiable boundaries, and then districts need to be compact.
[33:16] not bypassing one group of people to get to a more distant group of people.
[33:21] Consideration of partisan factors, political party, is prohibited under the Fair Maps Act as well.
[33:29] And then once we've considered all of the Fair Maps Act criteria in the federal criteria,
[33:34] then in only then, could we apply other traditional principles like minimizing
[33:38] voter shift in between election years, respecting the voter's choices that they made or considering
[33:45] future population growth.
[33:48] In addition to our paper maps here tonight, we've also had the maps available in an interactive
[33:53] web viewer that allows people to zoom in search for addresses and really look at the maps in
[33:59] more detail. In addition, we've had two mapping tools, a paper kit, as well as an online tool and
[34:06] We have asked majority of the maps that we did receive from the community or submitted using
[34:11] our online tool.
[34:14] We have received a total of eight maps from the community, including one at the last city
[34:19] council meeting.
[34:20] These included five different public proposals, which we have numbered public maps one through
[34:25] four, as well as public maps seven, which is new for tonight.
[34:30] We additionally received a duplicate of one of those maps as well, which we have not drawn
[34:34] separately. We also received two additional maps that spoke to communities of interest testimony
[34:41] and not actual population balance legally compliant districts.
[34:47] And DC also added two maps to the conversation and so we have the seven maps public maps
[34:52] one through seven to look at tonight. Now I know we showed most of this at the last hearing
[34:59] so just bear with us as we kind of review. We received the two communities of interest maps
[35:04] including one of, I think, you know, a good example of overlapping communities of interest
[35:09] in the map on the left where the orange area overlaps with the purple and teal areas to create
[35:16] overlapping communities of interest. And then, of course, the map on the right, which I love it
[35:22] because it just said, areas that I frequent every day. So, someone's very, you know, where they
[35:28] that are in their own community.
[35:31] We also want to start with the current district map.
[35:34] And what you see here is actually the current district map drawn into the new census geography.
[35:41] So there was some minor block changes.
[35:43] For example, the blocks now follow the B.O.L. University campus boundary,
[35:48] rather than the streets that are bounding the old university.
[35:53] Particularly on the north and southern ends of the campus,
[35:55] where Biola meets neighborhoods.
[35:59] Before hand, it actually went to the street beyond.
[36:03] And so it included all the back sides of the properties,
[36:05] or all the properties that were on the back side of that street.
[36:09] On the same route, in the same geographic areas, Biola.
[36:14] Now, the census block boundaries follow the Biola Camp's boundary.
[36:19] That's one of the big changes in the census geography
[36:22] between the old and the new.
[36:24] The current map is actually at 6.5% deviation, so it's under our 10% limit.
[36:32] It also has a Latino district, a 53% Latino, and that's area 1, and an Asian American 46% Asian American district in district 3.
[36:44] This map was adopted back in 2016.
[36:48] As a result of our outreach, we did receive public maps one, two, three, and four, which
[36:57] always presented last time, and we discussed extensively at the last council meeting.
[37:03] We also discussed NDC map five and NDC six, which we also discussed at the last council meeting
[37:10] as well, all of which were showing new different options, different challenges, and really
[37:16] illustrating the challenges that following major roads is really difficult to still remain under
[37:22] that 10% deviation. Like many communities, same age and time as Lamarata, built out at the same
[37:29] time as Lamarata, each one of the census blocks contains enough people to move the deviation
[37:34] three or four percent on its own, especially once you get into the dense communities in the central
[37:40] or in the actual neighborhoods where people live.
[37:45] There are some very big pockets like the Southern portion
[37:47] of the city where no people reside.
[37:50] But once you get into those densely populated neighborhoods,
[37:53] we're not following straight lines because those communities
[37:57] were built without major through streets,
[38:02] not in a gridded pattern.
[38:04] We also did receive map seven.
[38:07] This was actually submitted right before the last council meeting.
[38:09] We did not have time to process it at that council meeting, but we do have it available tonight as well.
[38:16] And just as a plan comparison table, these are our seven population balanced maps.
[38:22] As you can see, they range in their highest percent Latino and percent Asian-American districts,
[38:28] anywhere from 51 to 57 or 56 percent Asian-American, or 43 to 47 percent Asian-American, between the different maps.
[38:38] I'm happy to speak about any of the maps in more detail.
[38:42] We'll call up the web viewers if you have any questions about specific locations.
[38:47] But tonight we're looking at what map do we prefer to adopt?
[38:51] Particularly, how does that map comply with the Federal Fair Maps Act?
[38:55] Is what we're really looking to get that on record to talk about how those criteria listed in the Fair Maps Act
[39:02] are incorporated into that map and why then it's the best map for the city of Lomerada for the next 10 years.
[39:10] And so with that, I'm happy to take any questions.
[39:13] Or address any issues.
[39:16] Thank you.
[39:17] Great.
[39:17] Thank you, Dr. De.
[39:18] Should we move into the public hearing of this?
[39:22] Now we'll hand the agenda for a poll here.
[39:26] Anyone wants to provide input to the map.
[39:29] to the various maps piece to for it.
[39:41] We'll rush all at once, guys.
[39:44] Okay, seeing none.
[39:47] But we're hearing it's now close.
[39:50] Any questions or comments?
[39:53] What's that?
[39:55] Councilman, what's?
[39:56] I'd like to say we went through some of these last time.
[39:59] There's seven maps.
[40:02] And looking at the current council map that we do have
[40:04] right now from the 2016.
[40:06] We went through all this in 2016.
[40:09] Looking at that, I would suggest that we re-adopt that.
[40:14] We've had many different public hearings on this,
[40:18] and I haven't seen anybody come up except for two people
[40:21] at public comment talking about their map.
[40:23] So there's been seven maps that have been submitted,
[40:27] and I think four of them were from the public,
[40:29] but no one came to the public hearing to say,
[40:32] this is why I think there's a community of interest
[40:34] in a particular map.
[40:36] So my analysis of taking a look at all this,
[40:39] we already have communities of interest
[40:41] as our NDC rep has stated here.
[40:44] We have the Hispanic community in the West,
[40:47] and we have the Asian community in the East.
[40:49] And these are all maps that are all pretty much equal.
[40:53] If you look at the amount of information
[40:55] we have in the current map that we have,
[40:57] I think we have it right here.
[40:59] We have district 1 is 0.34% deviation from what we should have. District 2 is 3.17.
[41:09] District 3 is negative 2.98. District 4 is 0.97. District 5 is 0.44.
[41:16] So the total of all 5 districts, we only have a deviation of 6.15% which is well under the 10% that's required.
[41:24] We have the communities of interest already that have been put together.
[41:29] We've gone over this, I think this was done in 2016 at length.
[41:33] We've had many public hearings already with regards to these current maps.
[41:39] And we've got the one current map that would have made them even more equal.
[41:43] The map number three, if you could put that up there,
[41:47] that one did take a bit of the eastward area and moved it into district three.
[41:53] However, for the small deviation that it would have saved,
[41:57] it's probably not worth it to just a franchise
[41:59] and voters in that district.
[42:01] I think it's going to be anywhere from four to six years
[42:03] of disenfranchisement for being able to vote for a council member.
[42:08] So I think it's probably better that we keep the map
[42:10] that we currently have making a few small adjustments
[42:13] based on the census block data that we do have.
[42:16] And that's something I would like to suggest.
[42:18] We have the current map with, let me see if we can go back.
[42:24] Here, the current map with the current council outlines around it.
[42:48] Can you even enlarge that?
[42:49] There you go.
[42:51] I think that's the same one I'm looking at right here.
[42:54] There's a, in district five up at the upper right corner somewhere in the middle.
[42:58] There's a little block that jets into district three into the green right there.
[43:03] That represents a couple of houses, one house, two house.
[43:06] How many houses?
[43:08] Eight houses.
[43:09] Eight houses.
[43:10] Eight houses.
[43:11] Eight houses.
[43:11] Eight houses.
[43:13] So is there any way we can just take that and pop that back into district five?
[43:22] I mean, so what we can do is when you make the resolution to adopt the map or the ordinance to adopt the map.
[43:28] We can specify which blocks we want to adopt to their new boundaries and which ones we want to follow the existing district boundary.
[43:37] I think, right?
[43:39] I'm going to check with legal.
[43:41] But that's from our recommendation.
[43:43] What happens is you can't take part of that lock and figure out who goes where,
[43:51] because you have to use a data supply in the census.
[43:54] So all of that has to go in one or the other.
[43:58] There is a question of whether it actually affects anyone at all,
[44:02] because we have not done the research,
[44:04] because the census doesn't actually care about the line on the map.
[44:08] The census is actually completely based on the addresses of the properties.
[44:12] We sort of, there were some houses that are in that census block.
[44:16] So the question is, which, where do you want it to?
[44:19] The one block to exist instead of?
[44:21] So it's quite possible that there are actually
[44:23] or no people being moved because even though it looks like the lines being moved on the map there,
[44:28] that the address is, it corresponds to or already in the appropriate census block.
[44:34] And District 5 and District 3, they both run on the same cycle for election, so no one is going to be disenfranchised anyway.
[44:41] So I don't take it much of a difference with eight different houses there.
[44:47] If it can't be moved, I'm acceptable with that.
[44:51] But if it can't be moved, I think people just voted in the last election.
[44:56] You know, just 2020, we just had an election. They just voted for their council member.
[45:00] Or not, depending on how they voted. But you know, they're in a district and they kind of, over the last election, they probably got used to seeing certain things and being in a certain district.
[45:10] Some of these things on next door, I don't know where the next door lines fall, but you have the communities of interest with the social media and they're already drawing those maps on social media.
[45:19] So they're kind of used to where they are, but for eight different houses that's probably not a huge deal because there's going to be no disenfranchised.
[45:25] The only point is to keep the census blocking one or the other because we're not going to do surgery on the census block itself.
[45:35] So the whole census block that you're looking at has to go one place or the other.
[45:40] Can you outline that census block that's popping out there?
[45:43] Is that it?
[45:44] They're just a little square.
[45:44] A little bit of jetting.
[45:46] It's a pretty extensive block.
[45:48] It actually stands further to the left with an into district five.
[45:52] almost going to the main street, there would be
[45:55] Santa Cruz, so it almost stretches all the way over.
[45:57] It's one of those elongated states.
[45:58] In order to leave it in three, you'd have to chop it.
[46:02] You're chopping the census black as a rest of it's in five.
[46:05] OK, so it's probably best.
[46:07] And I just don't think you should, you know,
[46:09] the language is that I think that that causes you
[46:13] to make discretionary decisions.
[46:15] It isn't really based on the census data.
[46:18] Well, that's it.
[46:19] It doesn't look like there's any community
[46:20] of interest between one side or the other,
[46:22] in that little tiny section, it looks the same track.
[46:25] The trap.
[46:26] And the only point I would make is that it may
[46:28] already be the case that any of those affected voters
[46:30] are already in the appropriate district,
[46:33] because the census doesn't care about the line on the map.
[46:36] They only care about the addresses within a particular area.
[46:41] And so if it already is signed the addresses
[46:43] that are of those eight homes to district five,
[46:46] Then, essentially, you wouldn't be changing anything at all.
[46:51] Okay.
[46:52] That's fine.
[46:52] That's fine.
[46:53] That's how it turns out.
[46:54] I mean, that's great.
[46:55] And even if it does, there's no difference between the cycles of the election.
[47:00] You got five and three, which go on the same cycle.
[47:03] So, there's no disenfranchisement regarding to the eight different houses.
[47:06] And the date is the same.
[47:08] As it is reported.
[47:09] Yeah.
[47:09] Exactly.
[47:10] All right.
[47:10] So, I'm fine with that.
[47:12] The other change on this particular map regarding the census blocks.
[47:15] you have the one strip, the north side of white rock
[47:19] has already been fixed by the census block.
[47:21] And that's back into district five, correct?
[47:24] You look at this as north of white rock.
[47:26] That's right.
[47:27] They move the block, they move the block line
[47:28] so it follows the campus map.
[47:32] And then it looks like you incorporated
[47:33] all the green, which is by the way in a university.
[47:36] Again, they move the block line to follow
[47:38] the campus boundary accordingly.
[47:40] OK.
[47:40] So I would say the current district map that we have
[47:43] shows all the communities of interest.
[47:45] We haven't had any complaints about not being in a particular community.
[47:50] We had the precarings.
[47:51] No one has come to the precarings and stated, I don't like being here.
[47:54] I don't like being there.
[47:55] I'd like to be moved.
[47:56] I haven't heard any of that yet with regards to any of these maps.
[48:00] So I think at this point, I would move and advocate for the current district map with the
[48:05] census blocks as they are added here in.
[48:07] do we have a map that doesn't have that we already prepared or do we just make a map number
[48:14] eight with that or just what so what do you have so the demographics attached to the adjusted
[48:22] numbers so the ones attached to where these colored areas are uses the new block boundaries
[48:29] and has used it since we first posted them with the update.
[48:33] So you've only essentially corrected, yes.
[48:38] So we have, okay, when you make the motion to pass the ordinance, which, by the way,
[48:43] is effective immediately, it's done, referring to what's right in front of you there, the map
[48:50] and title current district map with 2020 district blocks, that's the map of you.
[48:55] Okay, so that I can move the map that's up right now, current district map with 2020 district
[49:05] That's my motion to move that one.
[49:08] So the motion for the council is to move that number eight.
[49:10] We have to adopt a name for it.
[49:12] Or is that just the name for there?
[49:14] You've given the motion.
[49:16] I don't think you need to give it up.
[49:18] Listen up and anything to it.
[49:19] I like that that you've got it sitting up there.
[49:23] So the motion would be to pass.
[49:25] Or in his 721 is presented with the map to be attached.
[49:29] The map presented to the council this evening.
[49:32] entitled current district map with 2020 district blocks.
[49:36] Correct.
[49:37] That's the motion.
[49:38] That's the motion.
[49:42] Councilman DeRouce.
[49:43] Thank you very much.
[49:45] Through this whole process,
[49:50] you know, it's already been said there has been a lot of people coming up
[49:52] clamoring for change and saying we're not getting a representation when I getting this.
[49:57] When I getting that last time around I was sort of leaning towards map three a little bit.
[50:03] because it adjusted a few things, but in consideration, looking at all of this, I don't really
[50:08] see a reason why we need to change anything really in favor of this particular map as
[50:19] emotion by council member Lewis. The thing with district dean, you know, we're forced to do this
[50:27] by the state, and you know, it made sense maybe a 1900 to do something like this when he
[50:32] pockets of ethnic groups, and he had disadvantaged people and stuff like this.
[50:37] A lot of the way we don't really have that, and I think we do a good job of taking care
[50:41] of all our citizens and representing them.
[50:47] All these counts, these districts, foreign, foreign, three, spent up the commercial, all
[50:54] of the other districts.
[50:55] I'll have retail in there, they all have homes, they all have similar deviations of that
[51:02] So, I would be in favor in second the motion as presented by, can I add one additional thing?
[51:12] There was an issue with Figuaris. There was one house.
[51:16] That might have been, there was a map when I blew it up.
[51:18] It looked like there was another census block that popped one house or two houses.
[51:22] I think it's not a district to another.
[51:23] I think it's Dr. Levitt said it would be reflected within the data that was already presented.
[51:27] So it's going to be part of a census block already that we can't subdivide so it's already
[51:34] It already exists, so if it's adopted with it as presented I think it's one house. I think it's one house on figure
[51:39] Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'll keep the same motion
[51:45] Question for clarification. Thank you Mr. Mayor
[51:48] and a nap map or district five and then you go into or district four and there's a little
[51:53] blip of green is that
[51:55] One house or what do you see that on the map?
[51:59] I think that's what it counts remember.
[52:00] But this was just, I just want to write.
[52:01] I don't care, I'll make sure it wasn't us.
[52:03] So, if you're on the mapping tool, if you were to click on that one house, the district
[52:07] would go north, and so it appears to be part of the census district that's connected to the university.
[52:14] Okay.
[52:17] There's an island by itself,
[52:20] isn't it?
[52:21] Pretty much.
[52:22] That's kind of cool, that's your house.
[52:24] Yeah, where's that?
[52:25] It's very unique.
[52:26] Probably by all the rental anyway.
[52:28] No, I concur with the current district map we have with the 2020 census is reflected in it and it keeps it intact.
[52:40] I call it said that although our district, we act as one city and we act as one unified effort to provide for our citizens and I don't think there's any need to draw it up or carve it up any more than we have it.
[52:54] I think it works, it serves well, serves function,
[52:58] that's it.
[52:59] But if I went that one little house, that was a little blip, I think it'd be kind of cool to be like the house.
[53:04] I have no further.
[53:05] Great.
[53:08] Thank you.
[53:09] I just wanted to make one comment.
[53:12] I don't think we have had a lot of, you know, resin speaking to the issue.
[53:18] We had three so far.
[53:19] You know, I think Zurich talked about map number 3, I think John talked well, why change, and then the person named Claude that has also talked well,
[53:29] minimizing the impact.
[53:31] So I've gone through the analogy I use is I've gone through enough for this in big organizations,
[53:39] and when you want to make large changes, you got to have purpose behind it, and change without purpose, at least to chaos.
[53:44] And in this case, I have a hard time looking for purpose.
[53:48] I don't know what the purpose is behind the change.
[53:51] If we're going to change anything.
[53:53] So I can go with my colleagues.
[53:55] I don't think there's purpose behind any required changes.
[54:00] So I'm also in favor of the current district map of 2020 district blocks.
[54:05] So, will that roll copies?
[54:06] Council members. Council members.
[54:09] Council members.
[54:09] I get absent, Mayor Patrimotero.
[54:12] Aye.
[54:14] Next, we go back to part of the common.
[54:17] Pardon me.
[54:18] And you want me to go to a dress council.
[54:19] Please send forward to the podium.
[54:23] Thank you, doctor.
[54:24] Thank you.
[54:27] Thank you.
[54:47] Did you make council, my name just to resume?
[54:50] And I'm here today to make a proposal to the council
[54:52] to ask the council to take action and send a letter
[54:55] to our legislature.
[54:58] Last night, I believe in the city of Beverly Hills and the city of Los Angeles, there was
[55:03] major crime speeds with smashing grab robberies all over.
[55:07] I think this is, I mean, every time I came to this body to speak, it's about the district
[55:11] attorney or rising crime and things like that and I think that this is just, I know this
[55:20] body has voted to no confidence in the district attorney's policies but I think this goes
[55:25] further than the district attorney, it's now going to our legislature and our Board of Supervisors.
[55:31] Let's release Sheila Q. O'Holly Mitchell, the three main proponents as to why there is a rise in crime along with a Georgia gas going.
[55:43] I asked if the council's standing letter to the state legislature, especially our assembly woman, Lisa Calderon, and our state center,
[55:52] to let them requesting that they take executive action against Prop 47. We've also seen in the,
[55:59] I believe it was 2016 or 2018 election cycle, we see multiple cities, declare themselves as
[56:06] sanctuary cities. This time around the 2020 election cycle, we've seen the, or that was the
[56:10] immigration and now we've seen it with certain amendments in sanctuary cities. I asked that the
[56:15] Council take executive action declare the city along a position 47 sanctuary city, making
[56:20] the City Exam for Proposition 47 and excluding the hazards that that raises to its citizens
[56:27] and making the city exactly more safer. It's also harder to keep citizens safe when we have
[56:36] people like Lisa Keller on our assembly member who, with all due respect, she and Senator
[56:42] ball or to let a endorse governor Gavin Newsom and he is no on the recall. Governor Newsom
[56:52] died last night when we needed him out. He's always he's seen to be gone. He's in Mexico
[56:57] on vacation and people are over here smashing windows and organizing things. I also got a
[57:05] comment from some businesses here in the city of Longrata. They'd like to keep these comments
[57:11] anonymous. But this one is a business located and I believe at the crossing real shopping center.
[57:20] And the manager of the business said that he's been, he's managed his business for seven years.
[57:29] And it's never been as bad or homelessness and the city of Lama has gotten out of hand.
[57:34] And these people in the homeless, he said these people, the I believe he's referring to homeless, they need help.
[57:40] He said that the city council has how to take action, but it's not enough.
[57:46] He said that he said that the leadership of the city council was done, but it's
[57:51] going to go farther than the city council.
[57:54] He said that every Monday now, he comes into work, he has a check-up parking lot to ensure
[58:00] that there's no syringes.
[58:01] He said that he appreciated the council was done, but if somebody doesn't do something serious
[58:06] before going to start getting hurt, I also believe a mayor has to move in that way.
[58:10] I was, I'm so sorry, I also believe with Mary, I said about, it may create a change
[58:18] about her, it's leads to chaos.
[58:21] This year 47 created change with no purpose.
[58:24] When you let people off for minor drawing issues, you're not allowed to divert them into
[58:32] rehabilitation.
[58:33] And so when we have these elected officials that are touting, don't charge them, divert them.
[58:38] You cannot divert, if you do not cost you in the first place, the diversion is what happens
[58:43] after they're prosecuted and you divert them instead of sending them to jail.
[58:47] So, that's all we know, this is a book, as a result, I'd like to say that I please ask the Council
[58:52] to send a letter to Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon, State Senator Bob Archer-Leader, where you
[58:57] can publish in 47 and ask the data executive ask you to change that in the legislature.
[59:02] And also, I have to take the class in line.
[59:05] I have a decision for me to set a stage for a city without yield back.
[59:09] Thank you for the call.
[59:12] Anyone else?
[59:17] Dave.
[59:18] Seeing that public comment is now told.
[59:22] Next we have a consent calendar item number 7.
[59:26] Move item 7.1 to 7.3.
[59:28] Second.
[59:30] Comments questions.
[59:32] Can some Mitteries?
[59:34] Can some Mitteries?
[59:34] Can some Mitteries?
[59:34] Can some Mitteries?
[59:35] Can some Mitteries?
[59:35] May I?
[59:38] Now we'llby chance to make it on two tenths of a parcel now number 82582, conditional use permin number
[59:44] with three-thirty.
[59:46] The Minister for Justice, number 52, as I plan to review and the associated negative declaration.
[59:53] Two consolidating to parcel of one.
[59:56] Thank you very much for watching, see you in the next video.
[1:00:00] 2, square foot addition to the existing building and installed to a stereo ground mount to carbon dioxide tanks.
[1:00:07] 1, 4, 4, 5, Artisia Boulevard within the industrial and two zoning districts.
[1:00:14] Who you first out of a staff report?
[1:00:16] Yes, Mr. Mayor, on this public hearing item, Eric Garcia, who is a senior planner on this project, will give any staff report.
[1:00:25] Good evening, Mayor. Members of the council.
[1:00:28] Well, I think the mayor did a great job of describing the project there, so in regards to this slide,
[1:00:35] I'll go ahead and mention the applicant, which is Troy Triphanopolis from Plump Engineering,
[1:00:40] and a on behalf of Shester Beverage's Inc.
[1:00:44] and the requesting council consideration of those entitlements, the mayor mentioned.
[1:00:54] The project side is located within the M2's own industry.
[1:00:58] the surrounding properties to the west, north, and east are also within the same zoning district.
[1:01:04] However, the east is a commercial use and that is a living space.
[1:01:10] Everybody's familiar with the living space is there.
[1:01:12] Artigia Boulevard serves as a boundary line and properties to the south are within the city of Bonapark.
[1:01:19] The nearest center of receptors, residential use, and that's about half a mile to the west of the project site,
[1:01:27] within the city of Serritos.
[1:01:32] The subject site is comprised of two independent parcels.
[1:01:34] The first parcel, our parcel one has listed in the slide,
[1:01:39] is about 3.9 acres in size.
[1:01:43] And parcel two has approximately 6.08 acres,
[1:01:47] and that's the one that is currently developed
[1:01:49] with the existing building, parcel one is vacant
[1:01:53] but serves as additional parking and storage for the use.
[1:01:57] Both parcels have easements dedicated for railroad and transportation purposes, and also includes water pipeline easement and street purpose easements.
[1:02:08] The purpose of parcel map is to consolidate those parcels into one and then and then do the the addition of 70,000 square foot.
[1:02:17] And that's the existing building.
[1:02:20] The existing building is used currently for manufacturing,
[1:02:25] warehousing and offices, four-caster beverage company.
[1:02:29] The addition will solely be for warehouse use,
[1:02:33] site improvements for the project include new parking on
[1:02:36] the north with a truck and emergency vehicle
[1:02:39] turnaround area in the north as well.
[1:02:43] Landscaping throughout the parking area in the site is proposed
[1:02:46] and decorative paving and driveway entrances for all the entrances there, the driveway entrances.
[1:02:56] A total of 166 parking spaces are proposed and about a little hour, 54,000 square feet of
[1:03:06] landscaping throughout the site. Both the parking and the landscaping aren't compliance with
[1:03:14] with the city's code requirements.
[1:03:18] The applicant also proposes two CO2 tanks.
[1:03:22] They currently have one tank, which is located in this area right here
[1:03:27] that is represented in yellow.
[1:03:30] They are proposing to one to replace that one
[1:03:34] and then propose to and relocate them to the southwest portion of the site.
[1:03:42] For a couple of reasons, they're proposing to, in case one, one of those fails, they are
[1:03:48] able to resume full operations of the site.
[1:03:52] This has happened in the past recent past where the existing CO2 tank failed, and they had
[1:04:00] to actually replace this, but they're actually working off a temporary one now.
[1:04:05] The other thing is for traffic safety purposes.
[1:04:09] The current location, when they go in and refill or service the tank,
[1:04:15] they have to actually stop traffic on our teachable of art
[1:04:18] and back in the truck and then they service that tank or replace it
[1:04:22] or fill it.
[1:04:25] With that new location, they don't have to stop traffic.
[1:04:28] They have access to it and they can work on the tanks.
[1:04:32] There are also relocating current propane tanks as well, and that's represented in yellow over here in this area.
[1:04:41] They do have a currently propane tanks. They're just a minimum due to the proposed addition.
[1:04:51] The architectural locations will feature the same architecture of the existing structure, and that is compatible with the surrounding industrial buildings in the area.
[1:05:01] This is the same type of architecture you'll find in warehouse buildings throughout that area.
[1:05:06] The exterior finishes in colors will match those of the existing.
[1:05:14] There are a number of entitlements associated with this project.
[1:05:17] You have a tender parcel map and that is to consolidate both parcels into one.
[1:05:21] A conditional use permit.
[1:05:22] And that's for the exterior mounting of the propane tank as well as the CO2 tanks.
[1:05:29] and administrative adjustment, and that is to go a little to go above the lock coverage that
[1:05:37] is allowed through the administrative adjustment process that you are allowed to do this.
[1:05:42] There's a 10% threshold there, and they are within that.
[1:05:45] A side plan review, and that is for the addition, and that's for the review of the compatibility,
[1:05:50] the architecture, and the addition to the surrounding uses.
[1:05:54] And with all of that, there's a negative declaration, which is environmental analysis.
[1:05:58] And
[1:06:04] looking at the environment which is the California through the Environmental Quality Act that's also referred to the CEQA, which requires that the public and private projects be analyzed to describe the proposed project or action describe the potential environmental impacts, identifying mitigation and provide public with an opportunity for input.
[1:06:28] Under SQL initial studies is a preliminary analysis to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment.
[1:06:38] This initial study is in determining what type of environmental document to prepare.
[1:06:43] It will determine that the proposed project will not have any significant effect on the environment and therefore a negative declaration will be prepared.
[1:06:51] The negative declaration provides the analysis and describes the reasons a project will not have a significant effect.
[1:06:58] In fact, the analysis was conducted by Mr. Mark Blodgett of Blodgett by Loses Environmental Planning,
[1:07:06] and he is here to briefly go over that environmental analysis in those areas of study that were conducted.
[1:07:20] Okay, thank you, Mayor. Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, I'm going to briefly just touch on.
[1:07:25] This slide basically spells out the nature of this analysis when we were brought into this project.
[1:07:34] We actually assumed that it would warrant what we call a mitigated negative decoration.
[1:07:40] Once we looked at the property and we had a good understanding of the project.
[1:07:47] And for the reasons that Eric alluded to, we determined that the negative decoration was the most appropriate.
[1:07:55] document. First of all, the project site is developed. There's a lot of there were a lot of
[1:08:02] products, part of the problem, part of the time we did our survey. The site is going to be
[1:08:10] the parents will be improved after it's developed as you can see with the elevations.
[1:08:22] The
[1:08:22] And after it's developed, we will be below the thresholds that the air quality management
[1:08:27] district considered to be significant.
[1:08:30] We went through the modeling protocols.
[1:08:33] The, again, hazards, the existing propane tanks along the front edge of our t-shirt.
[1:08:41] There are existing hazards that's going to be eliminated.
[1:08:45] There's all kinds of regulations and requirements.
[1:08:48] will be adhered to as part of the demolition of the existing asphalt, through no sense of land
[1:08:56] uses. In the vicinity, as Eric and the kid did, you've got thongs in Sridos for the
[1:09:04] down Artisha, you've got homes north of stage. Well, away it's surrounded on all sides by
[1:09:11] either the commercial or other industrial uses, the traffic analysis, and again, when you
[1:09:19] look at the additional net increase in traffic, you wouldn't exceed any level of service
[1:09:29] thresholds. And in fact, from what we call the vehicle miles travel protocols, it's not
[1:09:38] significant impact, and then finally, because of the utilities that are there now and the
[1:09:49] newer development would be going in, there would not be a significant demand on public services
[1:09:57] and utilities. So for that reason, as the mayor alluded to earlier, if it's not broken, we can't fix it,
[1:10:05] because we're now requirements are so much more stringent
[1:10:10] and the newer development requirements,
[1:10:13] it's going to be a much better project
[1:10:16] than what you're seeing on the ground now.
[1:10:20] So for that reason, we determined that a negative decoration
[1:10:24] is supposed to mitigate a negative decoration
[1:10:28] will be the most appropriate report.
[1:10:31] No mitigation would we need it in the better reason
[1:10:35] We've recommended the city and the staff concurred that we would proceed with the native declaration.
[1:10:44] It concludes our presentation.
[1:10:53] Thank you.
[1:10:54] Thank you.
[1:10:55] With that, the proposed project will not have an adverse effect around the surrounding properties and that the project complies with the city's zoning and general plan.
[1:11:10] the design and massing this compatible with the existing uses and structures within their
[1:11:15] surrounding area based on the environmental analysis and there will be no significant
[1:11:20] impact by the project.
[1:11:22] Today's example, I'm excuse me, there was a negative declaration prepared, apologize for that
[1:11:28] slide and says mitigate a negative declaration, there was a negative declaration, there was
[1:11:34] The project was noticed to property owners within a 300 foot radius and no comments were
[1:11:40] received a date and on October 21st, 2021, the Planning Commission considered the project
[1:11:47] and adopted a resolution recommending approval of the project to the City Council.
[1:11:54] With that, based on the evidence, the staff recommends that the City Council conduct the
[1:12:00] public hearing of firm the negative declaration of our mental assessment and adopt the
[1:12:06] resolution of improving the entitlements for the proposed project.
[1:12:09] That concludes Staffs report and answer any questions or the accounts on May 1.
[1:12:13] Thank you.
[1:12:13] Thank you.
[1:12:14] First of all, I want to see you do the exit job on your presentation.
[1:12:18] I was really nervous, I think we're going to read 200 pages.
[1:12:21] I'm sorry.
[1:12:23] I'm sorry.
[1:12:26] Congratulations.
[1:12:27] I really enjoyed that.
[1:12:30] So with that, I'm going to open the public here.
[1:12:33] Anyone who should speak for this project, please step forward.
[1:12:37] Good
[1:12:51] evening Mr. Ameer and a gentle members. My name is Traitor from Opless, the applicant for the job and I want to thank Eric and the city members working together with us to get this presentation and
[1:13:04] help us with the plans. So if you guys have any questions, let us know.
[1:13:09] Okay, thank you. Anyone else?
[1:13:16] Anyone who is in the speak against this project?
[1:13:22] Okay, seeing
[1:13:23] I'd like to talk to you in the down below.
[1:13:26] Any questions, comments for static?
[1:13:30] I read through some of those.
[1:13:32] I'm in council.
[1:13:39] I actually read through the negative declaration.
[1:13:41] I used to be on the planning commission.
[1:13:43] So I enjoyed pages.
[1:13:45] But it's a great project.
[1:13:47] I actually drive by that property every day.
[1:13:49] My office is down the street.
[1:13:50] So I like the little yellow Shasta bucket that you have out there in front.
[1:13:54] makes a nice hit and grasp portal if you ever play that game. But speaking of the project,
[1:14:00] though, it's a great project and we're glad to see you guys upgrading and I'm in favor of this
[1:14:03] and I will actually move this item, so I move item 8.2.
[1:14:07] Well, I'm a motion.
[1:14:08] Costs my dues.
[1:14:10] Thank you.
[1:14:11] As I was reading over this, you know, the documents attached to it, I have to chuckle because
[1:14:16] what I was a young guy, about 16 years old, I worked for a market in Huntington Park, California,
[1:14:22] and one day the manager said, we're going to go pick up some soda.
[1:14:25] When it's okay, so we got on the truck, drive out to this dusty city, out in the middle
[1:14:30] of nowhere, where there was nothing except this big can gone out around there when you're
[1:14:36] 16, that's like, we're cool.
[1:14:38] And when you're my age, it's still really cool.
[1:14:41] And it was like, where are we?
[1:14:43] What's going on?
[1:14:43] There was nothing out here.
[1:14:45] And all the things that you had to go through just to get this approved back in that day,
[1:14:50] I just said, okay, we got four walls, we're good to go and sign the lease, you know.
[1:14:55] And so now you have to go through all these things.
[1:14:57] And so I appreciate the due diligence, the work on.
[1:15:00] All of this going through all of this. And I think this certainly has a lot of merit, so I will second motion.
[1:15:08] Absolutely, so I'm going to comment. It's this represents proper represents responsible growth and development.
[1:15:16] And thank you very much, because it's like mentioned, we're going to get a better, a better location in the city and improved.
[1:15:21] And so I'm a favorite, and as my colleagues are great.
[1:15:27] Just one question, Eric.
[1:15:28] When you were talking about the truck going in and then back and out,
[1:15:31] will you talk about Sam's couple of Costco?
[1:15:34] You want to write?
[1:15:35] Okay, that was a joke.
[1:15:38] I'm in work as a pre-project and I'm glad that
[1:15:43] did a really good job as someone sitting at the again.
[1:15:45] So, with that role count please.
[1:15:47] Merry Christmas for yesterday's
[1:15:49] How will we respond?
[1:15:49] Can we have your applaud for auntie?
[1:15:51] Hi.
[1:15:51] Mayer?
[1:15:53] Maryer?
[1:15:57] We're a nine-� and nine-� and nine-� and nine- pod and one.
[1:16:00] My question forZZer, we shouldn't number a twenty- conceive four of the accatism
[1:16:05] of the dollar?
[1:16:07] The first clear 20- quadum hemorrhaging mustavez.
[1:16:10] to Mr. Mayor, Judy Kenyon is, our senior council will be giving the staff report to this
[1:16:15] resolution.
[1:16:16] Thank you.
[1:16:17] Good evening, Mayor Aang and members of the council.
[1:16:20] There is local, state and federal funds are allocated to the city on an annual basis.
[1:16:25] These funds are available for the administration and operation of the city's transit system
[1:16:30] and for transportation related expenditures such as street and sidewalk improvements.
[1:16:35] Both Los Angeles County, Metro and the federal transit administration require the city
[1:16:40] to approve the application of funds in order to receive the funds. During fiscal year 2021,
[1:16:46] 2022, the city will be applying for approximately 4.4 million in local, state and federal funds.
[1:16:53] The majority of these funds will be used for the dial-right contract with envy transportation.
[1:16:59] Other funds will be used for the purchase of replacement vehicles for transit fleet and for various transportation capital improvement projects.
[1:17:08] New federal funding sources became available as a result of COVID-19.
[1:17:13] The city was allocated funds through the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security
[1:17:17] Act or the CARES Act in the amount of 123,000.
[1:17:22] It was also allocated $12,000 through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplementful
[1:17:28] Appropriation Act or what is referred to as Christa.
[1:17:31] Both allocations are made under the Federal Transit Administration and are available for capital
[1:17:36] operating expenses. That is recommended. The City Council adopt resolution, 21-34, proving
[1:17:44] the application for transit and transportation funds for fiscal year 2021, 2022.
[1:17:50] Thank you for that report, Mr. Thomas. Any questions?
[1:17:56] Comments? Yes. Councilman Lewis.
[1:17:58] Here I see these funds are going to go to a lot of good projects here. The dialeride
[1:18:03] It's quite useful to our seniors here, so I think this money will be well allocated throughout the community, and I will move this item, 9.1.
[1:18:13] Okay, well, second.
[1:18:15] Okay, well, second.
[1:18:17] Roll off all these.
[1:18:18] Council members.
[1:18:19] Aye.
[1:18:19] Council members.
[1:18:21] Council members.
[1:18:21] Sure, yeah.
[1:18:21] I'm saying Mayor Proto-Motero.
[1:18:22] Aye.
[1:18:25] Next, we have a council to sit the council.
[1:18:27] We're supportive of the council.
[1:18:28] It's full of staff with Mr. Mayor Proto-Motero.
[1:18:31] Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[1:18:32] I want to note that a draw into an in to high school football,
[1:18:36] this year, La Marata had a pretty good season this year.
[1:18:41] They finished up the CIF, semi-finals.
[1:18:45] And again, with certain high schools,
[1:18:47] there's La Marata finished up in the, I'm sorry,
[1:18:49] La Marata in the quarterfinals,
[1:18:50] and it's sort of finished in the semi-finals.
[1:18:52] So, good also those young athletes out there who
[1:18:55] represented the different parts of the city
[1:18:57] and are population, and they're looking forward to the playoffs.
[1:19:00] This Friday we have a survey of modern day going for the championship game for a division
[1:19:06] one that should be one heck of a game looking forward to it.
[1:19:09] Thank you.
[1:19:11] Thank you.
[1:19:12] Awesome.
[1:19:13] Thank you.
[1:19:14] Thank you.
[1:19:15] I use my pleasure along with my counterparts on the 18th on Thursday.
[1:19:21] Thursday to be the ice cream social with the youth and government counterparts.
[1:19:26] That's always a good time to meet them and be a part of that and see the future at hand in and get to talk to them and see their ideas and it's just really refreshing
[1:19:38] And it's just such an excellent program and it's a talk to other council members and in the other mayors around
[1:19:45] You know, so the California nobody else has this program. We are like the only city that has this program and you know
[1:19:52] We've had several other cities say what can we do, you know, to get this and it's well, you know, it's not that hard, you know
[1:19:59] I'm sure staff would be more than willing to help, but they just never do it
[1:20:03] And this is just I think it's one of those traditions and long morada that needs to stay and needs to grow and
[1:20:09] It was just a
[1:20:11] Good time had by all and thanks staff for all their help and putting all that together and yesterday
[1:20:18] I was at I five in the Zoom meeting, you know, the I five is progressing along the bridges progressing along but traffic is not progressing along.
[1:20:29] And so they're thinking of a couch and just thinking of opening up a layer two on either side to help with that traffic to go there because it's no matter what time you a day or night you go through there it's a bottleneck.
[1:20:43] So they're going to probably open that up.
[1:20:45] But in doing so, it might cause a shift in some of the projects.
[1:20:49] So the opening of the bridge might be delayed a little bit.
[1:20:54] So they can do that.
[1:20:55] So they kind of shifting things around.
[1:20:58] But all in all, by summertime, or by the end of the summer,
[1:21:01] everything should be completed.
[1:21:05] So that's that.
[1:21:07] I just want to wish everyone happy Thanksgiving.
[1:21:15] Thank you Mr. Mayor.
[1:21:17] Well, November 11th we went to the Veterans Day event in the Civic Center here and that was a great event on bioBWU so
[1:21:27] Angela Maldenau was the commander on that and they did a great job with everything this year again and that goes hand in hand with our salute to veterans that we had so we have two great events for veterans.
[1:21:37] much every year, so if you can't even attend those, you should attend those, come up this next year.
[1:21:43] On November 18th, I was at the Rotary Holiday Shopping.
[1:21:47] This is where the Rotary Club uses their fireworks office to go out on the health of good sand and entry by food.
[1:21:54] And hand it out for Thanksgiving, so that'll be coming up a few.
[1:21:57] No need, you can send them over to the good sand and entry to pick up some Thanksgiving food items.
[1:22:03] And again, I was with Mike Hollings here for the youth and government.
[1:22:08] We have a lot of rising stars in the community and that always shows, you know, you talked
[1:22:12] to these, um, lot of abroad high school seniors and they tell you I got a 4.7 GPA and I'm
[1:22:18] like, how I mean, Mac and I went to high school and I think it went up that high.
[1:22:22] So, I think that's the AP added on, but that's amazing to hear 4.7 and 4.5 and, you know,
[1:22:30] those amazing scores and then they go out and have some extra curricular activities as well
[1:22:34] on top of that. So we do have some rising stars coming up and maybe some of these will
[1:22:39] become council members in about 20 years. They'll be coming back in the community and maybe
[1:22:43] you'll see them sitting up here right in your seat right there.
[1:22:48] Also the foster role in elementary
[1:22:49] it was a Thanksgiving event there. Again that's something that is put on by the foster role
[1:22:56] And that again is for the Thanksgiving meals for the Uniperaged in the area and I think there was over 500 or 600 meals that were given out at the foster road elementary was provided by Schumflay and
[1:23:09] We're meeting to one of the developers here and made a generous donation for that as well as Chick-fil-A and the Rotary and that happens every year.
[1:23:18] So if you have a chance, you can maybe next year show up to that one.
[1:23:21] It's also a family resource fair.
[1:23:24] And finally, this last Sunday,
[1:23:26] we went to the Interfaith Gathering of Gratitude
[1:23:29] at Biatitudes, where all the face of Laura
[1:23:31] and the houses of worship get together.
[1:23:33] And give thanks for this Thanksgiving season.
[1:23:35] And that was a great time there.
[1:23:37] And the mayor hearspoke.
[1:23:39] And he can tell you more about that.
[1:23:40] And that is my report.
[1:23:42] Thank you, Constantine Lewis.
[1:23:44] So, it would be tea.
[1:23:45] Well, we have a lot of holiday shows coming up.
[1:23:49] We start this weekend with white Christmas.
[1:23:52] And then following that next weekend is the Nutcracker and then the Americans come into town
[1:23:56] for two weeks.
[1:23:58] So, a lot of shows that they've rented the theater these productions, so they're not a lot
[1:24:01] of theater productions, but there are for the community and they're selling very well.
[1:24:05] So, I encourage you to come see those shows.
[1:24:07] Hey, thank you, P.T.
[1:24:09] So, you have two new patrons, my brother and his wife actually went to see Mama Mia in the
[1:24:15] So they really, he really enjoyed it, he was texting me throughout and as they're now supposed to text during the show, this is watch a show.
[1:24:24] So yeah, you got two new patrons.
[1:24:26] I think that's one of the stuff I'm building off for the Councilman, the Russe, about the Youth and Government.
[1:24:32] I think with the SAT going away or has gone away.
[1:24:35] I think that program will become more relevant than ever.
[1:24:38] And I also know that George did a really good job this year.
[1:24:43] He actually line up speakers that they never had in previous years.
[1:24:48] So I thought he did a really good job on that.
[1:24:50] And then I was also with my colleagues at the VW event.
[1:24:56] Like, Constable Lucid is going to hang with these little veterans event.
[1:25:02] Really nice event to honor our veterans.
[1:25:06] And then we had a consp and lose and I attended the Hidden Faith Gathering, and now
[1:25:12] as we do that, I think that was the most people I've seen at the Interfaith Gathering.
[1:25:17] I saw a lot of people, I saw a lot of former council members there, and I saw commissioners,
[1:25:25] I saw all kinds of people there, and it was just a good time overall, there were testimonies that was one of them.
[1:25:30] So it was this good time overall.
[1:25:33] With that, this is one of the say city attorney announcement.
[1:25:37] I'd have to be there in school if we got it.
[1:25:38] With that.
[1:25:38] That's all I have to say.
[1:25:39] Also happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
[1:25:42] Great to be there in the future.
[1:25:43] Thank you, Mr. Mayor, just as we get into the holiday season here.
[1:25:46] We have a number of events for our residents in the community.
[1:25:50] The holiday food dry is underway as we speak.
[1:25:53] The holiday home decorating contents.
[1:25:55] They believe begins the first of December.
[1:25:57] And then of course before we meet next time on December 14th at Chilli holiday event, which is one of our most popular events here in the city of Lamarada will be held Saturday, December 4th from 5 to 8pm looking forward to seeing everyone there.
[1:26:11] Thank you. Now we are moving into cool session and we will be back out of the cool session to report our findings.
