I think for me the 576 00:27:39,585 --> 00:27:40,284 concern is who gets the 577 00:27:40,284 --> 00:27:43,255 invitation, you know, in the 578 00:27:43,255 --> 00:27:45,924 first place right?

Now I've 582 00:27:51,397 --> 00:27:54,365 learned that a number of them 583 00:27:54,365 --> 00:27:55,234 actually have the city's fl b 584 00:27:55,234 --> 00:27:58,234 e certification and they did 585 00:27:58,237 --> 00:27:59,972 not get the invitation that 586 00:27:59,972 --> 00:28:01,339 that is concerning. I think 587 00:28:01,339 --> 00:28:03,542 something that I would just 588 00:28:03,542 --> 00:28:04,375 agree that we need to. We need 589 00:28:04,375 --> 00:28:06,512 to do better and we need to 590 00:28:06,512 --> 00:28:09,515 make sure that the small and 591 00:28:09,515 --> 00:28:10,215 local businesses if you know, 592 00:28:10,215 --> 00:28:10,948 of course we want, we want to 593 00:28:10,948 --> 00:28:14,153 make sure they can do the job. 594 00:28:14,153 --> 00:28:16,210 But what people don't get 595 00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:17,322 invitation right.

And that's not 600 00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:28,767 right. Just a point of 601 00:28:28,767 --> 00:28:30,669 clarification for the city 602 00:28:30,669 --> 00:28:32,738 administration for Mueller are 603 00:28:32,738 --> 00:28:35,274 brothers.

I was making 1853 01:17:42,854 --> 01:17:43,789 $10 an hour working at the 1854 01:17:43,789 --> 01:17:44,790 Burger. King are used to be at 1855 01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:48,390 13th and Broadway. And I heard 1856 01:17:48,861 --> 01:17:50,294 about Coliseum City. That's 1857 01:17:50,294 --> 01:17:51,300 someone who born a race here 1858 01:17:51,300 --> 01:17:51,596 in left sports.

And then when it 1861 01:17:55,967 --> 01:17:57,236 got to a point to where it was 1862 01:17:57,236 --> 01:17:57,969 clear that the writers want to 1863 01:17:57,969 --> 01:17:58,636 move, there was an effort led 1864 01:17:58,636 --> 01:18:01,473 by Ronnie Lott. And that's 1865 01:18:01,473 --> 01:18:02,640 where I'm it. My brother Ray 1866 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,109 bought it and we met with 1867 01:18:04,109 --> 01:18:05,711 council member Gallo.

So then 1870 01:18:10,349 --> 01:18:11,482 the next step was to sue the 1871 01:18:11,482 --> 01:18:13,170 nfl. So again, with the 1872 01:18:13,170 --> 01:18:15,170 support of Councilmember 1873 01:18:15,820 --> 01:18:17,121 Gallo, you was always there 1874 01:18:17,121 --> 01:18:18,624 with us.

His historic and one of 2141 01:27:19,330 --> 01:27:20,132 the most important things we 2142 01:27:20,132 --> 01:27:22,668 can do even though you're not 2143 01:27:22,668 --> 01:27:23,634 deciding allocation today is 2144 01:27:23,634 --> 01:27:26,634 to dedicate the full 6% to 2145 01:27:26,672 --> 01:27:28,140 arts and culture. As you've 2146 01:27:28,140 --> 01:27:28,841 heard, the Cultural Affairs 2147 01:27:28,841 --> 01:27:31,841 division has been starved for 2148 01:27:32,578 --> 01:27:35,578 decades. The funding peak was 2149 01:27:36,448 --> 01:27:37,849 actually in 1992 when it was 2150 01:27:37,849 --> 01:27:38,583 1.6 million dollars. That's 2151 01:27:38,583 --> 01:27:40,983 nearly 4 million dollars today 2152 01:27:41,986 --> 01:27:44,386 in 2 days funds consider 2153 01:27:44,423 --> 01:27:45,124 inflation General fund 2154 01:27:45,124 --> 01:27:47,524 contributions was zeroed out 2155 01:27:48,794 --> 01:27:49,928 since the end of 2024. And my 2156 01:27:49,928 --> 01:27:51,763 main point here is that the 2157 01:27:51,763 --> 01:27:52,831 arts are not a luxury line 2158 01:27:52,831 --> 01:27:55,831 item in the budget that 2159 01:27:56,402 --> 01:27:57,603 contribute to public safety 2160 01:27:57,603 --> 01:27:58,302 neighborhood vitality, the 2161 01:27:58,302 --> 01:28:00,702 education of children, youth 2162 01:28:02,730 --> 01:28:03,975 and adults. And I would just 2163 01:28:03,975 --> 01:28:04,576 want to point out a recent 2164 01:28:04,576 --> 01:28:05,611 national port that was 2165 01:28:05,611 --> 01:28:07,713 released just last week some 2166 01:28:07,713 --> 01:28:08,414 new data are to national arts 2167 01:28:08,414 --> 01:28:11,414 researcher. And it found that 2168 01:28:13,318 --> 01:28:14,520 public investment, the arts. 2169 01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,652 Thank you for your comments to 2170 01:28:20,926 --> 01:28:21,627 next speaker. My name is 2171 01:28:21,627 --> 01:28:24,627 Charlotte. I live in district 2172 01:28:27,866 --> 01:28:29,340 be on at 2.3 Before you head 2173 01:28:29,340 --> 01:28:31,537 up our I want to hear. But in 2174 01:28:31,537 --> 01:28:33,572 a couple of things at 2175 01:28:33,572 --> 01:28:34,506 encampment, closure is a 2176 01:28:34,506 --> 01:28:36,108 euphemism. What actually is is 2177 01:28:36,108 --> 01:28:36,674 it's a sweep is an eviction 2178 01:28:36,674 --> 01:28:37,342 that might seem like 2179 01:28:37,342 --> 01:28:40,342 semantics. But I think that 2180 01:28:40,511 --> 01:28:41,213 makes a difference if you 2181 01:28:41,213 --> 01:28:42,800 actually go to sweep and talk 2182 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:42,747 to the city administrators, 2183 01:28:42,747 --> 01:28:45,500 talk to opd, they know that 2184 01:28:45,500 --> 01:28:46,217 it's a dirty job. They know 2185 01:28:46,217 --> 01:28:47,619 that people might lose their 2186 01:28:47,619 --> 01:28:48,352 rv's, their home, their 2187 01:28:48,352 --> 01:28:50,220 documents, the medication that 2188 01:28:50,220 --> 01:28:50,755 might lose contact with loved 2189 01:28:50,755 --> 01:28:51,356 ones. They might come home 2190 01:28:51,356 --> 01:28:54,192 from work and find the 2191 01:28:54,192 --> 01:28:55,494 everything they own is gone. 2192 01:28:55,494 --> 01:28:56,327 They also are very clear the 2193 01:28:56,327 --> 01:28:58,396 same officials on the fact 2194 01:28:58,396 --> 01:28:59,163 that where people go next. 2195 01:28:59,163 --> 01:28:59,798 What they do next is not their 2196 01:28:59,798 --> 01:29:00,431 problem, not their job to 2197 01:29:00,431 --> 01:29:02,800 worry about that. I don't 2198 01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:03,902 think they would dispute that 2199 01:29:03,902 --> 01:29:05,904 the people being swept are 2200 01:29:05,904 --> 01:29:07,206 clear on all this. And they're 2201 01:29:07,206 --> 01:29:08,506 all so clear on wherever they 2202 01:29:08,506 --> 01:29:09,375 go next. It's not going to 2203 01:29:09,375 --> 01:29:10,109 perturbed businesses per term 2204 01:29:10,109 --> 01:29:12,310 House neighbors. It's going to 2205 01:29:12,310 --> 01:29:13,679 be to survive. So when you 2206 01:29:13,679 --> 01:29:14,712 hear this report, I hope you 2207 01:29:14,712 --> 01:29:15,814 really, really drill down on. 2208 01:29:15,814 --> 01:29:18,517 How much does this cost could 2209 01:29:18,517 --> 01:29:19,618 be done with that money?

I also 3542 02:16:09,228 --> 02:16:09,927 think there's been some 3543 02:16:09,927 --> 02:16:11,927 misinformation posted around 3544 02:16:14,660 --> 02:16:15,266 how there was a deliberate 3545 02:16:15,266 --> 02:16:17,202 intention around item sub This 3546 02:16:17,202 --> 02:16:19,638 was the alpr item that was 3547 02:16:19,638 --> 02:16:20,238 truly there.

And so 3551 02:16:26,712 --> 02:16:28,881 it would have been an issue 3552 02:16:28,881 --> 02:16:30,249 for us to adopt it.

But if it 3831 02:26:52,237 --> 02:26:53,438 turns positive and is in route 3832 02:26:53,438 --> 02:26:55,107 to being set up over there, we 3833 02:26:55,107 --> 02:26:56,408 could lose at least 6 to 8 3834 02:26:56,408 --> 02:26:57,276 hours. And that's really 3835 02:26:57,276 --> 02:26:59,276 detrimental for children 3836 02:27:00,412 --> 02:27:01,113 because, you know, there a 3837 02:27:01,113 --> 02:27:02,113 really sensitive population. 3838 02:27:02,113 --> 02:27:05,113 And this patient just happened 3839 02:27:05,684 --> 02:27:06,284 to be oncology patient. So we 3840 02:27:06,284 --> 02:27:08,684 would actually lose the 3841 02:27:09,188 --> 02:27:10,321 ability to for accessibility. 3842 02:27:10,321 --> 02:27:13,321 Thank you for your comments. 3843 02:27:16,595 --> 02:27:18,329 Tracy.
