In my minute 20 seconds, I will

394
00:17:15,175 --> 00:17:15,409
say that they are working the

395
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:16,878
system.

396
00:17:16,878 --> 00:17:19,278
In my humble opinion.

397
00:17:23,184 --> 00:17:24,185
These people come here as

398
00:17:24,185 --> 00:17:24,385
activists.

399
00:17:24,385 --> 00:17:26,385
That'

400
00:17:27,188 --> 00:17:29,588
s how we met.

401
00:17:31,192 --> 00:17:31,425
they accuse me of a lot of

402
00:17:31,425 --> 00:17:32,359
things.

403
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,359
I have facts.

404
00:17:34,662 --> 00:17:36,662
I have evidence.

405
00:17:39,134 --> 00:17:39,334
This was done previously.

406
00:17:39,334 --> 00:17:40,401
So I'

407
00:17:40,401 --> 00:17:42,370
m going to do it.

408
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:44,370
>> [Inaudible]

00:17:47,875 --> 00:17:48,209

419
00:18:02,690 --> 00:18:04,690
>> [Laughter]

420
00:18:05,860 --> 00:18:06,600
Excuse me.

421
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:06,561
That'

422
00:18:06,561 --> 00:18:06,861
s the highlight of my last

423
00:18:06,861 --> 00:18:08,861
three years.

424
00:18:10,431 --> 00:18:11,699
What is this guy up to?

425
00:18:11,699 --> 00:18:12,566
He'

426
00:18:12,566 --> 00:18:12,734
s accusing me of something.

427
00:18:12,734 --> 00:18:14,734
Ok.

428
00:18:15,103 --> 00:18:16,604

00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:18,805
past.

431
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:24,242
I want to support the elder

432
00:18:24,345 --> 00:18:24,746

433
00:18:24,746 --> 00:18:26,746

00:18:28,449 --> 00:18:29,830
I support tenants.

435
00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:29,417

00:18:42,563 --> 00:18:44,980

00:18:49,137 --> 00:18:49,671
I'

453
00:18:49,671 --> 00:18:50,739
m PRESIDENT Of the long beach

454
00:18:50,739 --> 00:18:52,739
-- .

455
00:18:53,342 --> 00:18:55,911
Donna is a senior that is being

456
00:18:55,911 --> 00:18:58,311
affected from her apartment.

457
00:19:01,449 --> 00:19:02,160
Actually, she got a first notice

458
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:02,350
three days after her husband

459
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:04,350
died of covid.

460
00:19:07,122 --> 00:19:10,459
She wanted to thank DR. Tyler

461
00:19:10,459 --> 00:19:14,590
curry for helping her last week.

462
00:19:14,129 --> 00:19:16,465
She followed his instructions.

463
00:19:16,465 --> 00:19:17,132
I want to demonstrate to you the

464
00:19:17,132 --> 00:19:17,400
system and how it'

465
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,400
s not working.

466
00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:22,938
For our people that are at risk

467
00:19:22,938 --> 00:19:24,938
of becoming homeless.

468
00:19:27,176 --> 00:19:30,546
Donna has called legal aid, she

469
00:19:30,546 --> 00:19:31,213
had an appointment that was

470
00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:34,213
canceled on her because they

471
00:19:34,783 --> 00:19:34,936
decided sheet -- they didn'

472
00:19:34,936 --> 00:19:35,450
t

473
00:19:35,450 --> 00:19:35,717
have anybody who could handle

474
00:19:35,717 --> 00:19:37,717
her case.

475
00:19:38,653 --> 00:19:39,287
Legal aid refused to see her

476
00:19:39,287 --> 00:19:42,287
because they were so overworked.

477
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:46,495
She called the L.A. Housing

478
00:19:46,495 --> 00:19:48,495
group.

479
00:19:51,433 --> 00:19:52,367
They told her, they at least

480
00:19:52,367 --> 00:19:54,503
answered the phone, told her

481
00:19:54,503 --> 00:19:57,339
that they could not help her.

482
00:19:57,339 --> 00:19:58,841
They were way overwhelmed with

483
00:19:58,841 --> 00:19:59,408
all of her caseloads.

484
00:19:59,408 --> 00:20:02,408
There was nothing that they

485
00:20:02,978 --> 00:20:03,145
could do for her.

486
00:20:03,145 --> 00:20:05,145
She'

487
00:20:05,314 --> 00:20:07,149
s been going to wherever the

488
00:20:07,149 --> 00:20:08,830
msc tells her to go.

489
00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:08,617
She can'

490
00:20:08,617 --> 00:20:11,170
t get any help.

491
00:20:11,787 --> 00:20:14,856
I got an 83-year-old in law

492
00:20:14,856 --> 00:20:17,260
school to help her with

493
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:19,161
instructions.

494
00:20:19,161 --> 00:20:19,528
She did file a response to the

495
00:20:19,528 --> 00:20:21,528
eviction notice.

496
00:20:22,465 --> 00:20:22,698
She did it herself because she

497
00:20:22,698 --> 00:20:23,766
couldn'

498
00:20:23,766 --> 00:20:23,932
t get any help.

499
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:25,932
She'

500
00:20:26,802 --> 00:20:28,203
s not here tonight because

501
00:20:28,203 --> 00:20:29,972
she is so emotionally wrought

502
00:20:29,972 --> 00:20:30,772
over the fact that she thinks

503
00:20:30,772 --> 00:20:34,372
she will be on the streets.

504
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:38,915
She appreciates the help.

505
00:20:38,915 --> 00:20:41,915
But there was no outcome.

506
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,624
Libre will return phone calls.

507
00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:51,240
Sent them email messages.

508
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,795
She cannot get any help.

509
00:20:51,795 --> 00:20:52,962
Right now, she'

510
00:20:52,962 --> 00:20:54,931
s forced to try

511
00:20:54,931 --> 00:20:57,331
to find a lawyer.

512
00:20:58,567 --> 00:20:58,734
At the last minute.

513
00:20:58,734 --> 00:21:00,536
She'

514
00:21:00,536 --> 00:21:01,203
s going to have to pay which

515
00:21:01,203 --> 00:21:03,105
she cannot really afford to do.

516
00:21:03,105 --> 00:21:05,105
She can'

517
00:21:05,674 --> 00:21:07,844
t go into court without

518
00:21:07,844 --> 00:21:08,478
representation because we know

519
00:21:08,478 --> 00:21:11,478
the chances of losing our 90%.

520
00:21:12,315 --> 00:21:15,184
So I just wanted to update you

521
00:21:15,184 --> 00:21:15,651
and we will keep you posted on

522
00:21:15,651 --> 00:21:17,721
what happens to donna.

523
00:21:17,721 --> 00:21:20,721
She was a professional woman.

524
00:21:22,558 --> 00:21:22,858
She has the degree in

525
00:21:22,858 --> 00:21:24,858
psychology.

526
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:29,766
I want you to keep aware that

527
00:21:29,766 --> 00:21:32,335
our systems are not working.

528
00:21:32,335 --> 00:21:33,870
There'

529
00:21:33,870 --> 00:21:34,170
s no housing to put these

530
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:34,570
people into.

531
00:21:34,570 --> 00:21:35,710
There'

532
00:21:35,710 --> 00:21:35,338
s no help for them in the

533
00:21:35,338 --> 00:21:37,338
community.

534
00:21:39,375 --> 00:21:39,875
We shouldn'

535
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:41,177
t be giving these

536
00:21:41,177 --> 00:21:41,744
people money if they are not

537
00:21:41,744 --> 00:21:44,744
going to help our residents.

538
00:21:49,185 --> 00:21:51,185
>> hi.

539
00:21:51,521 --> 00:21:53,521
[Inaudible]

540
00:21:58,594 --> 00:22:01,832
We thought we would come to the

541
00:22:01,832 --> 00:22:03,166
city for the license.

542
00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:05,566
We got the license.

543
00:22:07,937 --> 00:22:08,771
They didn'

544
00:22:08,771 --> 00:22:09,239
t have a license for

545
00:22:09,239 --> 00:22:09,405
that business.

546
00:22:09,405 --> 00:22:09,739
It'

547
00:22:09,739 --> 00:22:12,139
s a hookah lounge.

548
00:22:14,430 --> 00:22:16,780
After 11 years, we found out the

549
00:22:16,780 --> 00:22:18,482
city issued a hugo lounge

550
00:22:18,482 --> 00:22:18,682
license even though we were not

551
00:22:18,682 --> 00:22:20,682
there.

552
00:22:21,385 --> 00:22:21,651
They offered it to other people,

553
00:22:21,651 --> 00:22:23,651
they didn'

554
00:22:24,521 --> 00:22:25,550
t offer it.

555
00:22:25,550 --> 00:22:25,217
They came to the city, we'

556
00:22:25,217 --> 00:22:27,217
ve

557
00:22:27,924 --> 00:22:28,191
been waiting for the license for

558
00:22:28,191 --> 00:22:30,191
11 years.

559
00:22:31,194 --> 00:22:34,497
We are not a hookah lounge.

560
00:22:34,497 --> 00:22:34,964
We try to find out what happened

561
00:22:34,964 --> 00:22:37,364
and how that happened.

562
00:22:37,901 --> 00:22:42,101
It has one year or two years.

563
00:22:45,742 --> 00:22:46,710
That'

564
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:47,770
s been for the city for

565
00:22:47,770 --> 00:22:49,770
almost 20 years.

566
00:22:49,346 --> 00:22:50,513
We'

567
00:22:50,513 --> 00:22:50,713
ve been for 11 years, we

568
00:22:50,713 --> 00:22:50,980
didn'

569
00:22:50,980 --> 00:22:52,980
t get nothing.

570
00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:56,553
When I went to the city, they

571
00:22:56,553 --> 00:22:56,853
told me, no.

572
00:22:56,853 --> 00:22:57,254
We don'

573
00:22:57,254 --> 00:22:59,654
t know what happened.

574
00:23:01,925 --> 00:23:05,525
The city of long beach in 2008,

575
00:23:06,263 --> 00:23:07,163
they closed the business for

576
00:23:07,163 --> 00:23:08,965
indoor hookah lounge.

577
00:23:08,965 --> 00:23:09,232
They gave a fine for that

578
00:23:09,232 --> 00:23:11,232
business.

579
00:23:12,202 --> 00:23:13,504
I went to the court.

580
00:23:13,504 --> 00:23:13,737
They said, no indoor hookah

581
00:23:13,737 --> 00:23:15,737
lounge.

582
00:23:22,612 --> 00:23:25,120
I applied for it.

583
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,190
After that, everything going

584
00:23:29,190 --> 00:23:29,220
well, I renewed my license every

585
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:31,220
year.

586
00:23:32,223 --> 00:23:33,257
I just went to the city and try

587
00:23:33,257 --> 00:23:34,625
to do something.

00:40:57,576 --> 00:40:59,576
by the way.

1125
00:41:03,181 --> 00:41:07,381
How much is in the trust fund?

1126
00:41:08,586 --> 00:41:08,818
>> currently, there'

1127
00:41:08,818 --> 00:41:10,818

1130
00:41:15,194 --> 00:41:16,362
>> and it was started in 2005?

1131
00:41:16,362 --> 00:41:17,429
Is that correct?

1132
00:41:17,429 --> 00:41:19,429
>> yes.

1133
00:41:20,799 --> 00:41:23,202
>> have we used funds over the

1134
00:41:23,202 --> 00:41:24,669
years?

1135
00:41:24,669 --> 00:41:24,836
Did I MISS Where we'

1136
00:41:24,836 --> 00:41:26,836
ve used

1137
00:41:27,105 --> 00:41:27,405
funds that have been put in this

1138
00:41:27,405 --> 00:41:29,405
trust fund?

1139
00:41:29,774 --> 00:41:30,308
>> yes.

1140
00:41:30,308 --> 00:41:32,978
I have to correct myself.

1141
00:41:32,978 --> 00:41:33,846
There'

1142
00:41:33,846 --> 00:41:34,313
s $33,000 in the housing

1143
00:41:34,313 --> 00:41:35,180
trust fund but there'

1144
00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:37,180
s been

1145
00:41:37,483 --> 00:41:39,483
total deposits of $352,000.

1146
00:41:41,386 --> 00:41:41,954
Those funds have been used over

1147
00:41:41,954 --> 00:41:44,957
the years for a mobile home

1148
00:41:44,957 --> 00:41:45,590
repair and grant program and

1149
00:41:45,590 --> 00:41:45,891
also some second mortgage

1150
00:41:45,891 --> 00:41:47,891
assistance.

1151
00:41:50,563 --> 00:41:51,163
>> are there specific plans to

1152
00:41:51,163 --> 00:41:52,998
increase this?

1153
00:41:52,998 --> 00:41:53,232
Do we have something in our

1154
00:41:53,232 --> 00:41:55,232
budget?

1155
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:56,168
>> yes.

1156
00:41:56,168 --> 00:41:57,690
It'

1157
00:41:57,690 --> 00:42:00,138
s a good line of questioning.

1158
00:42:00,138 --> 00:42:00,572
Those numbers MAY seem very

1159
00:42:00,572 --> 00:42:00,772
small.

1160
00:42:00,772 --> 00:42:02,772
That'

1161
00:42:03,175 --> 00:42:05,410
s because most of our funds

1162
00:42:05,410 --> 00:42:05,810
go through different affordable

1163
00:42:05,810 --> 00:42:07,647
housing accounts.

1164
00:42:07,647 --> 00:42:09,448
This particular fund has existed

1165
00:42:09,448 --> 00:42:10,316
for a long time.

1166
00:42:10,316 --> 00:42:10,750
It hasn'

1167
00:42:10,750 --> 00:42:13,750
t been structured in a

1168
00:42:13,886 --> 00:42:14,253
way that we can receive state

1169
00:42:14,253 --> 00:42:14,987
matching funds.

1170
00:42:14,987 --> 00:42:17,523
This year as part of the budget

1171
00:42:17,523 --> 00:42:19,191
that was adopted by counsel, he

1172
00:42:19,191 --> 00:42:19,424
did appropriate funds to this

1173
00:42:19,424 --> 00:42:20,959
account.

1174
00:42:20,959 --> 00:42:21,493
We would like to get the best

1175
00:42:21,493 --> 00:42:24,998
used out of those funds as

1176
00:42:24,998 --> 00:42:27,660
possible so we will be doig

1177
00:42:27,660 --> 00:42:27,733
this restructuring and then

1178
00:42:27,733 --> 00:42:28,401
depositing those funds so we can

1179
00:42:28,401 --> 00:42:31,700
request matching from the state.

1180
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:35,270
We are also looking at what are

1181
00:42:35,574 --> 00:42:38,430
called p hla funds, funds we

1182
00:42:38,430 --> 00:42:39,111
receive from the state.

1183
00:42:39,111 --> 00:42:41,447
If we deposit them, we can

1184
00:42:41,447 --> 00:42:42,480
achieve additional matching

1185
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,817
funds from the housing trust

1186
00:42:44,817 --> 00:42:47,186
fund that the state uprights.

1187
00:42:47,186 --> 00:42:47,920
We are trying to be strategic

1188
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:48,187
and make every dollar go as far

1189
00:42:48,187 --> 00:42:50,187
as it can.

1190
00:42:52,725 --> 00:42:53,920
While it'

1191
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:53,268
s not a fund we'

1192
00:42:53,268 --> 00:42:55,268
ve used

1193
00:42:56,228 --> 00:42:56,829
in the past, we will be using it

1194
00:42:56,829 --> 00:42:59,499
more vigorously in the future.

1195
00:42:59,499 --> 00:43:00,166
>> thank you for that.

1196
00:43:00,166 --> 00:43:00,466
I think it'

1197
00:43:00,466 --> 00:43:02,435
s great to get

1198
00:43:02,435 --> 00:43:03,169
matching funds and change the

1199
00:43:03,169 --> 00:43:05,169
guidelines.

1200
00:43:08,674 --> 00:43:10,176
>> all right.

1201
00:43:10,176 --> 00:43:10,342
so there are no public comments.

1202
00:43:10,342 --> 00:43:10,643
Let'

1203
00:43:10,643 --> 00:43:13,643
s go to a vote.

1204
00:43:17,617 --> 00:43:19,617
Motion is carried.

1205
00:43:21,321 --> 00:43:23,321
>> thank you item 23.

1206
00:43:28,194 --> 00:43:29,495
>> recommendation to adopt

1207
00:43:29,495 --> 00:43:31,495
specifications for consulting

1208
00:43:31,497 --> 00:43:31,931
services and award a contract to

1209
00:43:31,931 --> 00:43:33,931
gartner consulting.

1210
00:43:42,109 --> 00:43:43,209
General project management

1211
00:43:43,209 --> 00:43:45,111
services for a total contract

1212
00:43:45,111 --> 00:43:47,111
amount of 1.9 million.

1213
00:43:50,490 --> 00:43:50,649
Award a contract for quality

1214
00:43:50,649 --> 00:43:53,153
assurance services for a total

1215
00:43:53,153 --> 00:43:55,153
amount of 1.2 million.

1216
00:43:57,924 --> 00:43:58,525
An increase of appropriations in

1217
00:43:58,525 --> 00:44:00,925
the development services fund

1218
00:44:01,394 --> 00:44:01,894
group and the community

1219
00:44:01,894 --> 00:44:03,894
development department.

1220
00:44:06,332 --> 00:44:08,734
>> these were some pretty big

1221
00:44:08,734 --> 00:44:08,938
contracts to get there'

1222
00:44:08,938 --> 00:44:09,269
s a staff

1223
00:44:09,269 --> 00:44:11,269
presentation.

1224
00:44:12,105 --> 00:44:12,639
>> we would like to give a

1225
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:14,639
presentation on this.

1226
00:44:15,175 --> 00:44:16,743
This is a big deal.

1227
00:44:16,743 --> 00:44:17,911
This is a transformational

1228
00:44:17,911 --> 00:44:18,812
investment in our enterprise

1229
00:44:18,812 --> 00:44:19,512
land management system which is

1230
00:44:19,512 --> 00:44:21,715
the system that governs a lot of

1231
00:44:21,715 --> 00:44:23,820
our permit in the city.

1232
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:26,119
We think we can improve the

1233
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:26,720
customer experience as well as

1234
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,720
staff efficiency.

1235
00:44:28,822 --> 00:44:31,191
I will turn it over to our team

1236
00:44:31,191 --> 00:44:33,260
to explain what this is and the

1237
00:44:33,260 --> 00:44:33,226
steps that will become after

1238
00:44:33,226 --> 00:44:35,226
this.

1239
00:44:41,167 --> 00:44:43,369
>> this is a combined effort.

1240
00:44:43,369 --> 00:44:43,771
Lisa fall will walk you through

1241
00:44:43,771 --> 00:44:45,771
the presentation.

1242
00:44:47,841 --> 00:44:48,250
>> good evening.

1243
00:44:48,250 --> 00:44:48,442
I'

1244
00:44:48,442 --> 00:44:51,645
m very excited to be here

1245
00:44:51,645 --> 00:44:51,879
tonight to talk about this

1246
00:44:51,879 --> 00:44:53,879
project.

1247
00:44:53,914 --> 00:44:56,850
I will make the presentation and

1248
00:44:56,850 --> 00:44:59,385
then leah erickson will be here

1249
00:44:59,385 --> 00:45:00,920
to help answer some questions as

1250
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:01,187
well as chrissy for koonz, my

1251
00:45:01,187 --> 00:45:03,187
director.

1252
00:45:05,559 --> 00:45:07,559
All right.

1253
00:45:11,198 --> 00:45:11,898
So the enterprise land

1254
00:45:11,898 --> 00:45:12,670
management system is the city'

1255
00:45:12,670 --> 00:45:14,670
s

1256
00:45:14,935 --> 00:45:17,570
backbone for its permitting and

1257
00:45:17,570 --> 00:45:17,871
licensing functions, including

1258
00:45:17,871 --> 00:45:19,707
inspections.

1259
00:45:19,707 --> 00:45:21,707
It'

1260
00:45:23,177 --> 00:45:23,644
s large, complex, has about

1261
00:45:23,644 --> 00:45:23,944
-- several subsystems.

1262
00:45:23,944 --> 00:45:25,944
It'

1263
00:45:26,647 --> 00:45:27,648
s used by eight departments

1264
00:45:27,648 --> 00:45:29,583
for many different functions and

1265
00:45:29,583 --> 00:45:29,783
has approximately 500 internal

1266
00:45:29,783 --> 00:45:31,783
users.

1267
00:45:34,121 --> 00:45:34,654
Given its multi-departmental use

1268
00:45:34,654 --> 00:45:34,821
and its large scale, it'

1269
00:45:34,821 --> 00:45:35,322
s known

1270
00:45:35,322 --> 00:45:37,722
as an enterprise system.

1271
00:45:41,595 --> 00:45:41,996
The current system was installed

1272
00:45:41,996 --> 00:45:43,996
in 2007.

1273
00:45:44,298 --> 00:45:44,732
Since then, many operations and

1274
00:45:44,732 --> 00:45:46,732
needs have changed.

1275
00:45:47,534 --> 00:45:51,134
So the current system is not

1276
00:45:51,171 --> 00:45:52,172
meeting either customer needs or

1277
00:45:52,172 --> 00:45:53,573
expectations for our city

1278
00:45:53,573 --> 00:45:55,973
analytical or process needs.

1279
00:45:57,512 --> 00:45:59,180
For example, the current elm is

1280
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:00,981
not configured to allow general

1281
00:46:00,981 --> 00:46:03,183
online permitting and upcoming

1282
00:46:03,183 --> 00:46:05,183
state lottery requirements.

1283
00:46:06,353 --> 00:46:06,887
The city cannot require --

1284
00:46:06,887 --> 00:46:08,722
retrieve adequate data for

1285
00:46:08,722 --> 00:46:08,989
policymaking or management

1286
00:46:08,989 --> 00:46:10,989
decisions.

1287
00:46:14,428 --> 00:46:15,496
Elm also lacks adequate

1288
00:46:15,496 --> 00:46:17,896
integration across functions and

1289
00:46:18,866 --> 00:46:19,366
departments, creating and

1290
00:46:19,366 --> 00:46:21,366
lowering effectiveness.

1291
00:46:28,342 --> 00:46:28,570
So given the current situation,

1292
00:46:28,570 --> 00:46:28,910
it'

1293
00:46:28,910 --> 00:46:31,310
s a priority project.

1294
00:46:32,246 --> 00:46:35,182
It will either overhaul or

1295
00:46:35,182 --> 00:46:35,950
replace the current system.

1296
00:46:35,950 --> 00:46:38,119
The new system will improve

1297
00:46:38,119 --> 00:46:40,119
capabilities and responsiveness

1298
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,190
to customers, reduce the need

1299
00:46:43,190 --> 00:46:45,492
for customers to visit city hall

1300
00:46:45,492 --> 00:46:47,492
licensing needs, simplify

1301
00:46:47,862 --> 00:46:49,564
processing, making it as easy as

1302
00:46:49,564 --> 00:46:52,667
possible to get a license or

1303
00:46:52,667 --> 00:46:54,869
permit, and provide better data

1304
00:46:54,869 --> 00:46:58,469
and be more efficient for staff.

1305
00:47:02,376 --> 00:47:05,130
So elm is known as an enterprise

1306
00:47:05,130 --> 00:47:07,413
resource planning system because

1307
00:47:10,885 --> 00:47:11,252
of its size and citywide impact

1308
00:47:11,252 --> 00:47:11,886
as I mentioned.

1309
00:47:11,886 --> 00:47:14,886
To ensure sufficient time and

1310
00:47:15,890 --> 00:47:17,224
resources for a successful elm,

1311
00:47:17,224 --> 00:47:18,759
it has been necessary to pause

1312
00:47:18,759 --> 00:47:21,759
phase two of lb coast.

1313
00:47:23,198 --> 00:47:25,834
This is our other very large erp

1314
00:47:25,834 --> 00:47:26,568
project that focuses on payroll,

1315
00:47:26,568 --> 00:47:28,968
budget, and hr systems.

1316
00:47:30,738 --> 00:47:31,205
Phase one, the financial system,

1317
00:47:31,205 --> 00:47:33,205
has been implemented.

1318
00:47:39,140 --> 00:47:39,314
Phase two of lb coast has paused

1319
00:47:39,314 --> 00:47:39,681
because it'

1320
00:47:39,681 --> 00:47:42,810
s unlikely that long

1321
00:47:42,784 --> 00:47:44,486
beach or most organizations

1322
00:47:44,486 --> 00:47:46,486
could simultaneously implement

1323
00:47:48,556 --> 00:47:50,358
two concurrent erp projects with

1324
00:47:50,358 --> 00:47:50,925
available resources.

1325
00:47:50,925 --> 00:47:54,610
Phase two is not expected to

1326
00:47:54,610 --> 00:47:57,833
start until a bit -- lb builds

1327
00:47:57,833 --> 00:48:00,833
yemen -- vmm is implemented.

1328
00:48:04,305 --> 00:48:07,175
Lb builds is a big project,

1329
00:48:07,175 --> 00:48:07,442
beyond city staff resources and

1330
00:48:07,442 --> 00:48:09,110
expertise.

1331
00:48:09,110 --> 00:48:11,110
Expert assistance from

1332
00:48:11,179 --> 00:48:11,513
consultants is needed but will

1333
00:48:11,513 --> 00:48:13,513
be temporary.

1334
00:48:14,830 --> 00:48:16,483
Throughout the process, city

1335
00:48:16,552 --> 00:48:18,952
staff will be decision-makers

1336
00:48:19,154 --> 00:48:19,488
and critical to the design and

1337
00:48:19,488 --> 00:48:21,488
of limitation.

1338
00:48:23,592 --> 00:48:25,260
Key to the project success is

1339
00:48:25,260 --> 00:48:27,660
adequately staffing the project

1340
00:48:28,620 --> 00:48:28,597
with the best city staff and a

1341
00:48:28,597 --> 00:48:28,830
good city decision-making

1342
00:48:28,830 --> 00:48:30,830
process.

1343
00:48:32,668 --> 00:48:35,804
To help city staff navigate this

1344
00:48:35,804 --> 00:48:38,804
project, four scopes of work

1345
00:48:39,174 --> 00:48:39,441
were released for consultant

1346
00:48:39,441 --> 00:48:41,441
services.

1347
00:48:47,182 --> 00:48:47,582
Scopes wants to position the

1348
00:48:47,582 --> 00:48:48,617
city for success.

1349
00:48:48,617 --> 00:48:48,918
They will provide an assessment

1350
00:48:48,918 --> 00:48:50,653
of the city'

1351
00:48:50,653 --> 00:48:53,530
s readiness for the

1352
00:48:53,789 --> 00:48:54,156
project and identify preliminary

1353
00:48:54,156 --> 00:48:56,156
resource needs.

1354
00:48:56,425 --> 00:48:57,593
It will help the city defined

1355
00:48:57,593 --> 00:48:59,194
what it needs from an upgraded

1356
00:48:59,194 --> 00:49:02,130
or completely new in system.

1357
00:49:02,130 --> 00:49:04,199
And ensure the city knows what

1358
00:49:04,199 --> 00:49:05,800
to expect from the products

1359
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,200
available in the marketplace.

1360
00:49:11,173 --> 00:49:14,276
During scope too, needs will be

1361
00:49:14,276 --> 00:49:14,743
incorporated for the software

1362
00:49:14,743 --> 00:49:16,743
and system integrator.

1363
00:49:20,282 --> 00:49:23,282
The consultant will assist with

1364
00:49:24,487 --> 00:49:25,121
the selection process during the

1365
00:49:25,121 --> 00:49:25,285
procurement following the city'

1366
00:49:25,285 --> 00:49:25,454
s

1367
00:49:25,454 --> 00:49:27,454
processes.

1368
00:49:33,195 --> 00:49:35,197
Scope three covers general

1369
00:49:35,197 --> 00:49:36,198
project management and begins

1370
00:49:36,198 --> 00:49:38,598
with implementation of the

1371
00:49:39,301 --> 00:49:39,801
solution, after we select the

1372
00:49:39,801 --> 00:49:40,102
software and the system

1373
00:49:40,102 --> 00:49:42,102
integrator.

1374
00:49:47,443 --> 00:49:47,977
The quality assurance provider

1375
00:49:47,977 --> 00:49:50,377
identifies issues with the

1376
00:49:51,947 --> 00:49:53,816
vendors or city that MAY impact

1377
00:49:53,816 --> 00:49:54,383
the project success and makes

1378
00:49:54,383 --> 00:49:54,850
working recommendations to

1379
00:49:54,850 --> 00:49:56,850
resolve those issues.

1380
00:50:01,357 --> 00:50:01,624
So, we had good response to the

1381
00:50:01,624 --> 00:50:03,624
proposal.

1382
00:50:06,829 --> 00:50:09,829
Eight vendors responded to the

1383
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:12,501
rp with 14 proposals.

1384
00:50:12,501 --> 00:50:15,501
Vendors could propose on scopes

1385
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,908
one and two combined, scope

1386
00:50:18,908 --> 00:50:20,576
three, scope for, but not both

1387
00:50:20,576 --> 00:50:21,144
three and four.

1388
00:50:21,144 --> 00:50:23,144
Evaluation committee process

1389
00:50:26,115 --> 00:50:26,916
included community development,

1390
00:50:26,916 --> 00:50:28,784
financial management and

1391
00:50:28,784 --> 00:50:29,652
technology and innovation, the

1392
00:50:29,652 --> 00:50:30,619
key departments involved with

1393
00:50:30,619 --> 00:50:32,619
elm.

1394
00:50:33,355 --> 00:50:35,580
The finalists are gardner

1395
00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:38,580
consulting for scopes one and

1396
00:50:39,295 --> 00:50:43,299
two and four, and very done for

1397
00:50:43,299 --> 00:50:45,299
scope -- be

1398
00:50:50,306 --> 00:50:50,521
arry dunne for

1399
00:50:50,521 --> 00:50:51,875
three.

1400
00:50:51,875 --> 00:50:54,875
It identifies a 2.5 year to

1401
00:50:55,745 --> 00:50:56,379
three-your project with likely

1402
00:50:56,379 --> 00:50:59,379
quickest time possible and needs

1403
00:51:03,152 --> 00:51:03,686
to be reevaluated after software

1404
00:51:03,686 --> 00:51:04,186
and system integration and

1405
00:51:04,186 --> 00:51:05,187
depends heavily on city

1406
00:51:05,187 --> 00:51:07,587
resources and other factors

1407
00:51:08,224 --> 00:51:08,692
including staff vacancies and

1408
00:51:08,692 --> 00:51:10,692
other city priorities.

1409
00:51:15,398 --> 00:51:18,398
This slide shows the potential

1410
00:51:18,835 --> 00:51:21,738
cost of the proposed awards.

1411
00:51:21,738 --> 00:51:22,939
Scope one and two combined and

1412
00:51:22,939 --> 00:51:24,907
scope three and scope forward.

1413
00:51:24,907 --> 00:51:28,507
The base costs of all combined

1414
00:51:28,679 --> 00:51:30,679
is approximately $3.5 million.

1415
00:51:33,950 --> 00:51:34,517
Scope three includes $352,000

1416
00:51:34,517 --> 00:51:36,517
for optional organizational

1417
00:51:38,988 --> 00:51:42,588
change management known as oh cm

1418
00:51:45,329 --> 00:51:46,290
and these are at -- ocm and

1419
00:51:46,290 --> 00:51:48,165
are under city discretion.

1420
00:51:48,165 --> 00:51:48,799
They are more likely to

1421
00:51:48,799 --> 00:51:51,199
encounter issues anticipated at

1422
00:51:51,902 --> 00:51:52,469
the outset, as such we are

1423
00:51:52,469 --> 00:51:54,469
requesting contingencies for

1424
00:52:00,143 --> 00:52:00,911
each totaling $660,000 and $600,

1425
00:52:00,911 --> 00:52:03,180
a little less than 20% of the

1426
00:52:03,180 --> 00:52:05,180
base cost.

1427
00:52:05,816 --> 00:52:07,584
If the implementation timeframe

1428
00:52:07,584 --> 00:52:09,720
is significantly longer than the

1429
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:11,521
aggressive timeframe proposed

1430
00:52:11,521 --> 00:52:11,955
costs for scopes three and scope

1431
00:52:11,955 --> 00:52:14,355
for MAY be exceeded.

1432
00:52:19,163 --> 00:52:19,496
-- scope three in scope four MAY

1433
00:52:19,496 --> 00:52:20,798
be exceeded.

1434
00:52:20,798 --> 00:52:22,800
There will be a one time that

1435
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,800
includes software system

1436
00:52:25,536 --> 00:52:26,470
integrator and soft and hard

1437
00:52:26,470 --> 00:52:28,138
costs for city staffing.

1438
00:52:28,138 --> 00:52:31,738
Total cost for the project are

1439
00:52:32,776 --> 00:52:35,176
currently unknown, whether net

1440
00:52:35,178 --> 00:52:37,381
operating cost will be higher

1441
00:52:37,381 --> 00:52:38,182
are lower is also unknown, and

1442
00:52:38,182 --> 00:52:39,984
all this depends on the selected

1443
00:52:39,984 --> 00:52:41,984
solution.

1444
00:52:41,985 --> 00:52:44,870
Much of the cost but not all

1445
00:52:44,870 --> 00:52:45,220
will be funded by the

1446
00:52:45,220 --> 00:52:47,220
development services fund.

1447
00:52:55,433 --> 00:52:59,330
To summarize, lb builds elm will

1448
00:52:59,236 --> 00:53:00,700
replace a system and greatly

1449
00:53:00,700 --> 00:53:03,700
improve online access and other

1450
00:53:03,207 --> 00:53:03,740
customer experiences with city

1451
00:53:03,740 --> 00:53:05,740
permitting and licensing.

1452
00:53:05,876 --> 00:53:08,545
The project is anticipated to

1453
00:53:08,545 --> 00:53:10,945
start DECEMBER 2023 and be

1454
00:53:13,317 --> 00:53:15,317
operational in mid-2026.

1455
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,521
And again, the cost would

1456
00:53:17,521 --> 00:53:18,550
largely be funded from the

1457
00:53:18,550 --> 00:53:20,550
development services fund.

1458
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,360
So, staff recommends the city

1459
00:53:26,463 --> 00:53:28,863
council adopts specifications rf

1460
00:53:33,805 --> 00:53:34,839
tt!23-201 for enterprise land

1461
00:53:34,839 --> 00:53:35,940
management consulting services

1462
00:53:35,940 --> 00:53:39,760
and award a contract to gardner

1463
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,312
consulting for scopes one and

1464
00:53:41,312 --> 00:53:44,548
two in contracts for scope four

1465
00:53:44,548 --> 00:53:46,317
and the amounts of 1,020,001.6

1466
00:53:46,317 --> 00:53:46,651
million dollars which includes

1467
00:53:46,651 --> 00:53:48,651
contingencies.

1468
00:53:52,223 --> 00:53:54,623
In addition, award scope 32

1469
00:53:57,328 --> 00:53:59,328
barry dunne including

1470
00:53:59,897 --> 00:54:01,897
contingency and $320,000 for

1471
00:54:05,336 --> 00:54:06,137
optional oh cm -- ocm management

1472
00:54:06,137 --> 00:54:08,137
services.

1473
00:54:08,973 --> 00:54:10,410
Finally, the last recommendation

1474
00:54:10,410 --> 00:54:12,977
is to increase appropriations in

1475
00:54:12,977 --> 00:54:15,977
the development services fund by

1476
00:54:17,381 --> 00:54:17,982
$890,000 from funds available

1477
00:54:17,982 --> 00:54:18,282
for initial implementation of

1478
00:54:18,282 --> 00:54:20,282
the project.

1479
00:54:24,489 --> 00:54:26,424
That concludes my presentation

1480
00:54:26,424 --> 00:54:27,192
and we are all here to answer

1481
00:54:27,192 --> 00:54:27,926
your questions.

1482
00:54:27,926 --> 00:54:30,326
>> thank you very much.

1483
00:54:32,290 --> 00:54:32,230
Other any public comments on

1484
00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:34,230
this?

1485
00:54:34,265 --> 00:54:35,600
All right.

1486
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,233
There are none.

1487
00:54:36,233 --> 00:54:36,500
Council member, do you have

1488
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:37,535
anything?

1489
00:54:37,535 --> 00:54:39,535
>> real quick.

1490
00:54:42,173 --> 00:54:45,773
Did you state that the project

1491
00:54:46,578 --> 00:54:48,947
could start at the end of 2026.

1492
00:54:48,947 --> 00:54:51,947
When does it start again?

1493
00:54:53,284 --> 00:54:53,518
>> ok, you want to go to the

1494
00:54:53,518 --> 00:54:55,186
slides?

1495
00:54:55,186 --> 00:54:57,186
>> yeah.

1496
00:55:00,959 --> 00:55:03,610
>> yeah, so, what we are

1497
00:55:03,610 --> 00:55:06,610
anticipating on our best timing

1498
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,664
schedule is we will start this

1499
00:55:10,168 --> 00:55:12,236
DECEMBER and then we are

1500
00:55:12,236 --> 00:55:15,236
anticipating switching over to a

1501
00:55:17,442 --> 00:55:17,709
new or overhauled elm system in

1502
00:55:17,709 --> 00:55:19,709
JUNE 2026.

1503
00:55:20,912 --> 00:55:21,179
>> that is all I have.

1504
00:55:21,179 --> 00:55:23,179
Thank you.

1505
00:55:26,584 --> 00:55:30,184
>> yeah, is that three years, is

1506
00:55:31,156 --> 00:55:31,423
that normal to take that long?

1507
00:55:31,423 --> 00:55:32,758
It is?

1508
00:55:32,758 --> 00:55:33,926
Ok.

1509
00:55:33,926 --> 00:55:35,926
Council member.

1510
00:55:37,162 --> 00:55:39,664
>> I am happy to second the

1511
00:55:39,664 --> 00:55:41,766
motion and understand the need

1512
00:55:41,766 --> 00:55:42,234
for these contracts and I fully

1513
00:55:42,234 --> 00:55:44,234
support it.

1514
00:55:44,569 --> 00:55:44,836
>> all right.

1515
00:55:44,836 --> 00:55:46,704
Thank you.

1516
00:55:46,704 --> 00:55:48,704
Council member?

1517
00:55:49,308 --> 00:55:49,708
>> thank you for the

1518
00:55:49,708 --> 00:55:51,708
presentation.

1519
00:55:55,380 --> 00:55:57,316
You said that we have had our

1520
00:55:57,316 --> 00:55:59,716
current system since 2007, which

1521
00:55:59,751 --> 00:56:00,852
is 16 years, and so I definitely

1522
00:56:00,852 --> 00:56:02,852
appreciate that.

1523
00:56:04,456 --> 00:56:05,560
We are looking into a new system

1524
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,360
so it is a little bit more I

1525
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,960
think, helpful to staff as well

1526
00:56:12,765 --> 00:56:13,232
as to businesses as well as

1527
00:56:13,232 --> 00:56:13,498
requesting permits and

1528
00:56:13,498 --> 00:56:15,498
licensing.

1529
00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:19,205
Can you share an example of some

1530
00:56:19,205 --> 00:56:20,939
things this new system will do

1531
00:56:20,939 --> 00:56:22,841
versus what it can'

1532
00:56:22,841 --> 00:56:24,310
t do at the

1533
00:56:24,310 --> 00:56:27,279
moment to illustrate why we are

1534
00:56:27,279 --> 00:56:27,681
spending so much money to invest

1535
00:56:27,681 --> 00:56:30,810
in the new system?

1536
00:56:30,149 --> 00:56:32,149
>> sure.

1537
00:56:33,819 --> 00:56:35,954
One of the things in that we are

1538
00:56:35,954 --> 00:56:38,724
able to accept some minor

1539
00:56:38,724 --> 00:56:42,228
permits on line not able to

1540
00:56:42,228 --> 00:56:44,628
accept larger general bidding

1541
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,640
for permits.

1542
00:56:47,433 --> 00:56:50,433
Recent state law changes our

1543
00:56:51,503 --> 00:56:52,400
requiring that full-scale

1544
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,400
residential projects be

1545
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,420
submitted online, so that is one

1546
00:56:57,420 --> 00:56:57,809
of the things that we are

1547
00:56:57,809 --> 00:56:58,440
looking at being able to

1548
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,440
provide.

1549
00:57:03,716 --> 00:57:04,750
Also, there is not a lot of good

1550
00:57:04,750 --> 00:57:07,150
linkages between the departments

1551
00:57:08,620 --> 00:57:10,422
and as many people know who come

1552
00:57:10,422 --> 00:57:14,360
to do a project here, you need

1553
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,360
to talk to development services,

1554
00:57:17,830 --> 00:57:18,431
public works, fire, health,

1555
00:57:18,431 --> 00:57:20,366
depending on what your project

1556
00:57:20,366 --> 00:57:23,102
is, and the whole process

1557
00:57:23,102 --> 00:57:24,904
forward getting permits is not

1558
00:57:24,904 --> 00:57:27,904
seamless within that system so

1559
00:57:30,175 --> 00:57:30,809
we want to integrate that so

1560
00:57:30,809 --> 00:57:33,146
everybody knows exactly where a

1561
00:57:33,146 --> 00:57:34,514
project is by looking into the

1562
00:57:34,514 --> 00:57:35,810
system and getting answers for

1563
00:57:35,810 --> 00:57:35,348
our patrons as quickly as

1564
00:57:35,348 --> 00:57:37,348
possible.

1565
00:57:39,385 --> 00:57:40,190
>> it would also reduce the time

1566
00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:41,989
it would take for people to get

1567
00:57:41,989 --> 00:57:43,956
their permitting and license in

1568
00:57:43,956 --> 00:57:46,926
order to build their projects a

1569
00:57:46,926 --> 00:57:49,926
lot quicker and faster and

1570
00:57:50,196 --> 00:57:52,198
reduce errors because everybody

1571
00:57:52,198 --> 00:57:52,832
is looking at the same system

1572
00:57:52,832 --> 00:57:53,533
from one department to the next.

1573
00:57:53,533 --> 00:57:55,533
>> yep.

1574
00:57:56,202 --> 00:57:56,536
That is what we are

1575
00:57:56,536 --> 00:57:58,536
anticipating.

1576
00:57:59,572 --> 00:58:02,572
>> that is exciting because it

1577
00:58:04,910 --> 00:58:06,112
makes it easy for our builders

1578
00:58:06,112 --> 00:58:06,745
do that as soon as possible as

1579
00:58:06,745 --> 00:58:08,810
was business in general, right?

1580
00:58:08,810 --> 00:58:10,481
Thank you very much.

1581
00:58:10,817 --> 00:58:13,186
>> those are great questions.

1582
00:58:13,186 --> 00:58:15,186
Councilmember?

1583
00:58:17,423 --> 00:58:18,570
>> yes comment that was a great

1584
00:58:18,570 --> 00:58:20,493
line of questioning and answered

1585
00:58:20,493 --> 00:58:20,927
my questions and I am fully

1586
00:58:20,927 --> 00:58:22,927
supportive of this.

1587
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:27,000
People will really be happy with

1588
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
the offers.

1589
00:58:30,203 --> 00:58:31,137
All right, I don'

t see any more

1591
00:58:31,838 --> 00:58:33,139
questions, so let'

1592
00:58:33,139 --> 00:58:33,339
s go to a

1593
00:58:33,339 --> 00:58:35,339

All right.

Any public comment on this?

Ok.

No?

1629
01:00:00,694 --> 01:00:02,694
Council member?

1630
01:00:03,897 --> 01:00:05,932
>> yes I want to express how

1631
01:00:05,932 --> 01:00:07,000
exciting it is to move forward

1632
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,400
with our vision zero.

1633
01:00:10,805 --> 01:00:12,600
Also making sure that we

1634
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,209
continue to make long beach a

1635
01:00:15,209 --> 01:00:15,976
bike friendly place and ensuring

1636
01:00:15,976 --> 01:00:17,911
we are connecting north long

1637
01:00:17,911 --> 01:00:18,279
beach all the way down to

1638
01:00:18,279 --> 01:00:19,746
downtown.

1639
01:00:19,746 --> 01:00:22,549
I think we know that it is

1640
01:00:22,549 --> 01:00:23,717
really important we make it as

1641
01:00:23,717 --> 01:00:25,986
safe and easy as possible for

1642
01:00:25,986 --> 01:00:27,530
people who ride bikes to get

1643
01:00:27,530 --> 01:00:31,853
from one side of our town to the

1644
01:00:32,260 --> 01:00:34,195
next, which also includes making

1645
01:00:34,195 --> 01:00:35,796
it safer to reduce traffic

1646
01:00:35,796 --> 01:00:38,196
fatality, related fatalities and

1647
01:00:38,465 --> 01:00:39,660
injuries as well, so I am really

1648
01:00:39,660 --> 01:00:39,900
glad we are able to move this

1649
01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:42,300
forward with the additional

1650
01:00:45,807 --> 01:00:48,376
funding so that we can continue

1651
01:00:48,376 --> 01:00:48,876
to meet our bike master plan and

1652
01:00:48,876 --> 01:00:49,143
adding that done.

1653
01:00:49,143 --> 01:00:50,378
Thank you.

1654
01:00:50,378 --> 01:00:52,378
>> thank you.

1655
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,840
Councilmember.

1656
01:01:00,587 --> 01:01:01,755
>> thank you.

1657
01:01:01,755 --> 01:01:02,924
I'

1658
01:01:02,924 --> 01:01:03,892
m excited about making long

1659
01:01:03,892 --> 01:01:06,127
beach and more bike-friendly

1660
01:01:06,127 --> 01:01:08,429
city and a safer city with more

1661
01:01:08,429 --> 01:01:08,629
connectivity throughout the

1662
01:01:08,629 --> 01:01:10,629
city.

1663
01:01:13,868 --> 01:01:18,305
I am so happy to see this will

1664
01:01:18,305 --> 01:01:18,939
be connecting north long beach

1665
01:01:18,939 --> 01:01:21,443
to downtown and vice a versa in

1666
01:01:21,443 --> 01:01:23,244
happy to know that there will be

1667
01:01:23,244 --> 01:01:23,945
lighting improvements among

1668
01:01:23,945 --> 01:01:24,312
other enhancements made as part

1669
01:01:24,312 --> 01:01:26,312
of this project.

1670
01:01:28,116 --> 01:01:30,218
Thank you to our public works

1671
01:01:30,218 --> 01:01:32,320
team for presenting us with this

1672
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:33,154
project, and for the work that

1673
01:01:33,154 --> 01:01:35,523
is to come in making this a

1674
01:01:35,523 --> 01:01:37,523
reality.

1675
01:01:37,725 --> 01:01:38,193
I am so very happy to see this

1676
01:01:38,193 --> 01:01:40,193
project come forward.

1677
01:01:40,562 --> 01:01:42,562
>> thank you.

1678
01:01:43,164 --> 01:01:45,164
Councilmember.

1679
01:01:45,666 --> 01:01:48,660
>> thank you so much.

1680
01:01:49,537 --> 01:01:53,137
I think I have been consistent

1681
01:01:53,875 --> 01:01:54,442
supporting particularly active

1682
01:01:54,442 --> 01:01:56,344
transportation projects like

1683
01:01:56,344 --> 01:01:58,344
this.

1684
01:01:59,447 --> 01:02:00,140
I am a big proponent of bike

1685
01:02:00,140 --> 01:02:02,414
infrastructure in our city.

1686
01:02:03,751 --> 01:02:06,487
I just want to quickly ask a

1687
01:02:06,487 --> 01:02:10,870
question about the scope of the

1688
01:02:10,191 --> 01:02:10,625
work that will be done on this

1689
01:02:10,625 --> 01:02:12,625
particular project.

1690
01:02:12,626 --> 01:02:14,796
I understand that you know,

1691
01:02:14,796 --> 01:02:16,665
there will be dedicated lanes,

1692
01:02:16,665 --> 01:02:18,767
but only actually dealing with

1693
01:02:18,767 --> 01:02:22,270
the street conditions in some of

1694
01:02:22,270 --> 01:02:22,670
these areas that MAY not be as

1695
01:02:22,670 --> 01:02:24,670
smooth as others.

1696
01:02:28,910 --> 01:02:30,312
>> uh, yes, so it is my

1697
01:02:30,312 --> 01:02:32,712
understanding this is a 13.3

1698
01:02:33,949 --> 01:02:34,984
million dollar project.

1699
01:02:34,984 --> 01:02:38,584
We are looking at a protected

1700
01:02:39,754 --> 01:02:41,754
bikeway, intersections, bus

1701
01:02:42,324 --> 01:02:42,857
islands, safety enhancements,

1702
01:02:42,857 --> 01:02:44,560
pavement resurfacing, and

1703
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,794
lighting as well, so pretty

1704
01:02:46,794 --> 01:02:47,280
comprehensive up-and-down

1705
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,280
origin.

1706
01:02:50,632 --> 01:02:52,368
Some -- orange.

1707
01:02:52,368 --> 01:02:53,902
Some areas have had treatments

1708
01:02:53,902 --> 01:02:54,936
and others do not so making sure

1709
01:02:54,936 --> 01:02:57,500
we do all those together so it

1710
01:02:57,500 --> 01:03:00,375
is seamless and goes all the way

1711
01:03:00,375 --> 01:03:00,909
from ocean three signal hill up

1712
01:03:00,909 --> 01:03:03,811
to the top of long beach.

1713
01:03:03,811 --> 01:03:07,411
>> so we have had the treatments

1714
01:03:08,117 --> 01:03:08,917
in the north part, north of

1715
01:03:08,917 --> 01:03:12,517
those areas, up to I believe

1716
01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:16,491
artesia or past, and we have

1717
01:03:16,491 --> 01:03:19,940
dedicated lanes -- I which is as

1718
01:03:19,940 --> 01:03:20,162
for as we move forward some

1719
01:03:20,162 --> 01:03:23,762
level of consistency all the way

1720
01:03:24,660 --> 01:03:27,666
through as much as possible so

1721
01:03:28,170 --> 01:03:28,737
that our residents are not

1722
01:03:28,737 --> 01:03:31,206
confused or feeling like you

1723
01:03:31,206 --> 01:03:32,641
know we are changing up the

1724
01:03:32,641 --> 01:03:34,342
program on them, so.

1725
01:03:34,342 --> 01:03:36,342
>> understood.

1726
01:03:37,646 --> 01:03:39,547
>> all right.

1727
01:03:39,547 --> 01:03:40,816
Well, thank you very much for

1728
01:03:40,816 --> 01:03:41,830
your thoughtful comments,

1729
01:03:41,830 --> 01:03:41,250
everyone.

1730
01:03:41,250 --> 01:03:41,419
Let'

1731
01:03:41,419 --> 01:03:43,419
s vote.

1732
01:03:50,993 --> 01:03:52,993
COUNCILWOMAN?

1733
01:03:53,729 --> 01:03:55,729
>> motion is carried.

1734
01:03:58,201 --> 01:04:00,201
>> all right.

1735
01:04:01,470 --> 01:04:02,104
So, we are just getting through

1736
01:04:02,104 --> 01:04:05,104
this agenda very quickly today.

1737
01:04:05,708 --> 01:04:09,908
So we are at the general public

1738
01:04:10,712 --> 01:04:11,180
comment number two and florence,

1739
01:04:11,180 --> 01:04:13,180
you are up.

1740
01:04:28,664 --> 01:04:30,799
>> my name is florence.

1741
01:04:30,799 --> 01:04:33,799
Yes, I am still homeless.

1742
01:04:38,141 --> 01:04:39,275
And my reason is I sat here, I

1743
01:04:39,275 --> 01:04:41,811
have been coming here for the

1744
01:04:41,811 --> 01:04:44,480
past three years, coming to your

1745
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:44,635
meetings, and you don'

1746
01:04:44,635 --> 01:04:46,635
t talk

1747
01:04:46,982 --> 01:04:48,982
about real issues.

1748
01:04:49,751 --> 01:04:52,188
The real issue is black folks

1749
01:04:52,188 --> 01:04:55,188
without jobs, black folks who

1750
01:04:55,892 --> 01:04:56,993
are into drugs, black folks who

1751
01:04:56,993 --> 01:05:00,396
are being abused by the police.

1752
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:03,650
I met a man who spent 13 years

1753
01:05:03,650 --> 01:05:04,367
in prison with something he did

1754
01:05:04,367 --> 01:05:07,967
not do because of an officer.

1755
01:05:11,508 --> 01:05:12,409
The officer is dead now, but

1756
01:05:12,409 --> 01:05:14,878
you are not talking about things

1757
01:05:14,878 --> 01:05:16,479
that matter to black folks.

1758
01:05:16,479 --> 01:05:20,820
I sit here and watch people from

1759
01:05:20,820 --> 01:05:23,850
all cultures, me, me, me, me.

1760
01:05:23,850 --> 01:05:23,501
I am a foundational like

1761
01:05:23,501 --> 01:05:25,501
american.

1762
01:05:30,226 --> 01:05:32,862
I call myself a fba,

1763
01:05:32,862 --> 01:05:33,396
foundational black american.

1764
01:05:33,396 --> 01:05:34,530
I don'

1765
01:05:34,530 --> 01:05:34,798
t know any other

1766
01:05:34,798 --> 01:05:36,798
continent.

1767
01:05:37,433 --> 01:05:37,595
I know this one, that we don'

1768
01:05:37,595 --> 01:05:38,634
t.

1769
01:05:38,634 --> 01:05:39,100
I don'

1770
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:40,169
t want to hear it.

1771
01:05:40,169 --> 01:05:42,169
My ancestors it.

1772
01:05:44,908 --> 01:05:48,508
We are being pushed away come

1773
01:05:50,947 --> 01:05:52,115
out, ignored -- away, out,

1774
01:05:52,115 --> 01:05:52,548
ignored.

1775
01:05:52,548 --> 01:05:52,849
Just talk about it.

1776
01:05:52,849 --> 01:05:54,849
It is real.

1777
01:05:57,386 --> 01:05:57,987
I watched a young man died on

1778
01:05:57,987 --> 01:05:58,254
the long beach pavement of an

1779
01:05:58,254 --> 01:05:59,989
overdose.

1780
01:05:59,989 --> 01:06:02,920
Black people are not bringing

1781
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:03,193
those drugs in here.

1782
01:06:03,193 --> 01:06:04,595
I am sick and tired of it.

1783
01:06:04,595 --> 01:06:06,229
I am an american citizen.

1784
01:06:06,229 --> 01:06:08,980
I am everyplace.

1785
01:06:08,980 --> 01:06:10,980
But you don'

1786
01:06:12,569 --> 01:06:14,938
t talk about reality

1787
01:06:14,938 --> 01:06:17,938
that will uplift the community,

1788
01:06:18,242 --> 01:06:18,709
not down, up certain people and

1789
01:06:18,709 --> 01:06:20,709
not other people.

1790
01:06:25,449 --> 01:06:27,117
You know, and the thing is we

1791
01:06:27,117 --> 01:06:27,450
have the highest ratio of

1792
01:06:27,450 --> 01:06:28,485
homelessness.

1793
01:06:28,485 --> 01:06:30,485
They won'

1794
01:06:30,687 --> 01:06:32,288
t rent to us.

1795
01:06:32,288 --> 01:06:32,489
I should say you won'

1796
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:34,489
t rent to

1797
01:06:36,427 --> 01:06:37,261
us, whether we can afford it or

1798
01:06:37,261 --> 01:06:38,428
whether we can'

1799
01:06:38,428 --> 01:06:40,828
t come in so,

1800
01:06:42,650 --> 01:06:45,650
fair housing, -- we can'

1801
01:06:45,535 --> 01:06:47,270
t come

1802
01:06:47,270 --> 01:06:47,425
in so, fair housing -- can'

1803
01:06:47,425 --> 01:06:49,305
t

1804
01:06:49,305 --> 01:06:51,305
com

1805
01:06:53,477 --> 01:06:53,811
, so I'

1806
01:06:53,811 --> 01:06:56,211
m a fair housing.

1807
01:06:57,881 --> 01:07:00,751
Young girls walk up and down the

1808
01:07:00,751 --> 01:07:01,251
street half naked and nobody is

1809
01:07:01,251 --> 01:07:04,251
doing a thing about it.

1810
01:07:07,290 --> 01:07:10,290
Drugs, drugs are being poured

1811
01:07:11,128 --> 01:07:14,298
into this country in this area,

1812
01:07:14,298 --> 01:07:14,932
like it is nothing, and black

1813
01:07:14,932 --> 01:07:16,367
folks are being affected by it.

1814
01:07:16,367 --> 01:07:18,367
Why aren'

1815
01:07:18,735 --> 01:07:19,300
t the police doing

1816
01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:21,300
something?

1817
01:07:24,741 --> 01:07:25,308
Why on the judges, prosecutors,

1818
01:07:25,308 --> 01:07:25,575
politicians doing something

1819
01:07:25,575 --> 01:07:27,575
about it?

1820
01:07:28,450 --> 01:07:30,445
It can be stopped.

1821
01:07:31,849 --> 01:07:34,551
Baby boy died, no older than 20,

1822
01:07:34,551 --> 01:07:34,707
I guess you say, well, it'

1823
01:07:34,707 --> 01:07:35,519
s not

1824
01:07:35,519 --> 01:07:37,519
my business.

1825
01:07:39,823 --> 01:07:41,525
>> ma'

1826
01:07:41,525 --> 01:07:41,792
am, your time has

1827
01:07:41,792 --> 01:07:43,792
concluded.

1828
01:07:45,396 --> 01:07:45,663
>> florence, thank you for your

1829
01:07:45,663 --> 01:07:46,297
comments.

1830
01:07:46,297 --> 01:07:49,000
Thank you for coming out today.

1831
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,869
All right, we are going to item

1832
01:07:51,869 --> 01:07:52,370
13 which is the end of our

1833
01:07:52,370 --> 01:07:53,971
agenda announcements and

1834
01:07:53,971 --> 01:07:55,971
adjournment.

1835
01:07:57,708 --> 01:07:59,708
All right.

1836
01:08:01,245 --> 01:08:03,245
Announcements and adjournments.

1837
01:08:04,249 --> 01:08:06,249
Council member.

1838
01:08:08,486 --> 01:08:09,253
>> thank, colleagues.

1839
01:08:09,253 --> 01:08:12,853
It pleases me to mention that

1840
01:08:13,290 --> 01:08:14,892
over the weekend that we lost a

1841
01:08:14,892 --> 01:08:17,828
beloved neighbor and pillar in

1842
01:08:17,828 --> 01:08:18,462
our community, and that was MS.

1843
01:08:18,462 --> 01:08:20,462
Carter.

1844
01:08:23,368 --> 01:08:24,680
She was a remarkable person who

1845
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,468
accomplished so much throughout

1846
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,240
her 104 years in life.

1847
01:08:32,877 --> 01:08:35,790
Her and her seven siblings were

1848
01:08:35,790 --> 01:08:37,479
orphans but despite that

1849
01:08:38,850 --> 01:08:40,385
hardship she began her career as

1850
01:08:40,385 --> 01:08:42,921
a typist at the pentagon and

1851
01:08:42,921 --> 01:08:43,755
world war ii and rose through

1852
01:08:43,755 --> 01:08:45,790
the ranks and became a colonel

1853
01:08:45,790 --> 01:08:47,790
in the army.

1854
01:08:48,692 --> 01:08:52,292
She became a reserve long beach

1855
01:08:54,365 --> 01:08:57,965
police officer at age 65 and she

1856
01:08:58,690 --> 01:09:00,710
was actually on the same in the

1857
01:09:00,710 --> 01:09:01,139
same graduating class as the

1858
01:09:01,139 --> 01:09:03,139
sheriff now.

1859
01:09:04,342 --> 01:09:04,509
She earned her bachelor'

1860
01:09:04,509 --> 01:09:06,509
s degree

1861
01:09:08,412 --> 01:09:09,480
in english and communications at

1862
01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:11,480
the age of 78.

1863
01:09:12,417 --> 01:09:16,170
And most recently she served as

1864
01:09:16,888 --> 01:09:17,722
on the scenery -- senior

1865
01:09:17,722 --> 01:09:19,230
advisory commission representing

1866
01:09:19,230 --> 01:09:20,291
the eighth district but was also

1867
01:09:20,291 --> 01:09:23,291
instrumental eight years ago in

1868
01:09:23,761 --> 01:09:26,161
developing our senior activities

1869
01:09:27,131 --> 01:09:28,866
center at the expo.

1870
01:09:28,866 --> 01:09:31,266
And so much more.

1871
01:09:31,403 --> 01:09:35,300
She was an amazing neighbor and

1872
01:09:35,173 --> 01:09:37,642
matriarch in our community and

1873
01:09:37,642 --> 01:09:37,976
city and she will be very very

1874
01:09:37,976 --> 01:09:39,976
sorely missed.

1875
01:09:40,778 --> 01:09:44,978
I would like to close with a

1876
01:09:44,982 --> 01:09:45,983
quote that I believe embodies

1877
01:09:45,983 --> 01:09:48,420
her life in spirit, and it is

1878
01:09:48,420 --> 01:09:48,954
quote -- I don'

1879
01:09:48,954 --> 01:09:51,323
t know where the

1880
01:09:51,323 --> 01:09:52,390
quote is attributed to, but

1881
01:09:52,390 --> 01:09:54,492
"life is not waiting for the

1882
01:09:54,492 --> 01:09:58,920
storm to pass, it is about

1883
01:09:58,696 --> 01:10:00,365
learning to dance in the rain,"

1884
01:10:00,365 --> 01:10:03,201
and MISS Carter was certainly a

1885
01:10:03,201 --> 01:10:05,704
positive influence on us all.

1886
01:10:05,704 --> 01:10:06,905
Anyone who knew her in the city,

1887
01:10:06,905 --> 01:10:11,105
and I think she should be more

1888
01:10:11,176 --> 01:10:11,743
appropriately celebrated at a

1889
01:10:11,743 --> 01:10:13,945
later time, but we certainly

1890
01:10:13,945 --> 01:10:14,279
want to adjourn in her honor

1891
01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:16,279
this evening.

1892
01:10:18,850 --> 01:10:19,384
Um, and then I would just move

1893
01:10:19,384 --> 01:10:21,784
on to other announcements.

1894
01:10:23,689 --> 01:10:25,124
Um, I would also like to

1901
01:10:36,434 --> 01:10:39,434
city develop the final version.

1902
