re-entering their homes and

153
00:13:54,199 --> 00:13:57,040
of what we saw during the wildfires my

154
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,160
takeaway for all of you this evening and

155
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,920
my challenge for you is this make a

156
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,320
preparedness plan I urge you to create

157
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,399
an emergency kit and a tog go bag and

158
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:12,560
don't forget your pets they also need a

159
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,240
tog go bag right they are family as well

160
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,720
don't forget medication eyelasses

161
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,680
anything that you would need have it

162
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,839
ready to go somewhere that if you need

163
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:25,480
to evacuate quickly you can grab it and

164
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360
take it with you and that will go so far

165
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,079
in case you really do need it God forbid

166
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:35,279

167
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:36,959

168
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:39,399

752
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,960
performers for added diversity and

753
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,719
regarding the venue this the city

754
01:08:50,719 --> 01:08:52,600
council explained to Mr Cruz that we had

755
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,000
previously held summer concerts at

756
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,839
Paramount Park and we experienced low

757
01:08:55,839 --> 01:08:58,679
attendance and a lack of shade and the

758
01:08:58,679 --> 01:09:00,920
fact that Progress Park tends to have uh

759
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:02,719
better attendance more trees more

760
01:09:02,719 --> 01:09:05,239
canopies so that's why the council

761
01:09:05,239 --> 01:09:08,040
decided to keep these summer concerts at

762
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,920
Progress Park and with that that

763
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,600
concludes the public commment updates

01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:27,239
right all right so my name is Joe I am a

815
01:11:27,239 --> 01:11:28,679
resident of Paramount I have been for

816
01:11:28,679 --> 01:11:33,080
the last 30 All My Life um I'm here

817
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,000
today to seek information and petition

818
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,199
the city code the only current code I

819
01:11:37,199 --> 01:11:41,520
have found is 6.32 1110 which states any

820
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,320
animal to be nuisance which by any sound

821
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,280
of cry or cry shall interfere with the

822
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,440
comfortable enjoyment of life or

823
01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:54,320
property by an individual so so far

824
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,000
that's kind of all I have found in terms

825
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:57,960
of uh you know owning chickens on a

826
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:00,440
property uh by any interpretation this

827
01:12:00,440 --> 01:12:02,639
sounds like an ordinance of noise noisy

828
01:12:02,639 --> 01:12:05,080
animals which can include Birds dogs and

829
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:09,400
cats as well as fowls horses and other

830
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,280
livestock I want to challenge the

831
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,120
ordinance and see if I if it can be

832
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,239
amended neighboring cities such as

833
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:18,679
Downey Lakewood Compton Norwalk

834
01:12:18,679 --> 01:12:22,280
belflower Etc allow three and four and

835
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,400
sometimes even 10 chickens per property

836
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,800
uh

837
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,880
respectively as you can see obviously

838
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,960
eggs are at a crazy

839
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,080
high uh but we've had our we've we we've

840
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:38,560
had our interest in owning chickens for

841
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,719
a very long time not only for ourselves

842
01:12:40,719 --> 01:12:42,880
but for our our children at home they

843
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,600
have them at their school and it's

844
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,639
created a sense of responsibility for

845
01:12:46,639 --> 01:12:50,199
them and um they've they've had them in

846
01:12:50,199 --> 01:12:51,880
incubators at school they've grown them

847
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:53,320
from there they've been able to take

848
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:57,239
them home however we have we haven't um

849
01:12:57,239 --> 01:13:00,600
yet hopefully um so I want to know how

850
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,320
can we work together to allow such

851
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,280
ownership for our Paramount residents it

852
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,400
is evident our neighbor our neighbors

853
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,520
and residents have the luxury of owning

854
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,600
chickens and enjoying their home grown

855
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,000
eggs um so why not

856
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,520
here and that is it for myself any

01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,719

860
01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:34,360
from Mr Eddie Garcia from the after

861
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:39,830
school program called think together Mr

862
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,280
Garcia so good evening everyone my name

863
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:43,960
is Eddie Garcia I'm the executive

864
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,400
director for think together which we

865
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,080
have a partnership to provide your after

866
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,320
school programs at your middle schools

867
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,679
here in the city of paramont um very

868
01:13:51,679 --> 01:13:54,400
happy to report that um you know our

869
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,080
percentage uh for Ada the attendance

870
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,639
that we've earned it's probably really

871
01:13:59,639 --> 01:14:02,480
high right now we have about 108% at one

872
01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:05,120
of our middle schools the lowest is 65

873
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,400
but it's still really good so all the

874
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,239
other schools are in their 90% so we're

875
01:14:09,239 --> 01:14:11,320
really meeting that attendance goal that

876
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:12,880
we need for the after school program

877
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,800
here in paramont middle schoolers are

878
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,600
very different in their sense like they

879
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,080
talk with their feed if they don't like

880
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,400
something they're not coming right and

881
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,760
so we really have to find ways to engage

882
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,320
those students so that they continue

883
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,120
coming some of the different programs

884
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:27,679
that you ever walk on some of our

885
01:14:27,679 --> 01:14:29,800
campuses that I'd like to invite you to

886
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,840
walk on some of our campuses is you're

887
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:33,840
going to see kids doing colonary Arts

888
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,960
activities there we also have yoga for

889
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:37,600
the students we have Theater Arts for

890
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,239
their students there's Street Soccer

891
01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:43,480
it's let let me I have to um that sounds

892
01:14:43,480 --> 01:14:45,360
bad street soccer but it's an actual

893
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,639
program that's called Street Soccer that

894
01:14:47,639 --> 01:14:49,360
kids learn to play soccer but it's

895
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:50,800
actually happening on the school grounds

896
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,800
it's not on the streets folks so just

897
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,760
want to clarify that one um we also have

898
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,239
kickboxing and just a variety of other

899
01:14:58,239 --> 01:15:00,600
activities that we have for the students

900
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,320
um in the at our middle school so we're

901
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,360
really really proud of doing that the

902
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,639
more kids we have on campus it's you

903
01:15:07,639 --> 01:15:09,080
know it's great because we're keeping

904
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,800
them in a nice safe environment um until

905
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:13,880
their parents are able to you know to

906
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,840
receive them and bring them in the home

907
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:17,760
so and I think that's the city's goals

908
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:19,760
right is safe healthy and attractive

909
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,880
environment and so that's exactly why

910
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,199
we're aligned um with what we're doing

911
01:15:24,199 --> 01:15:26,120
with thing together the partnership that

912
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,840
we have with you folks um and also in

913
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,280
collaboration with the paramont Unified

914
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:33,600
School District and it's actually um

915
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:35,320
really nice and I think it makes my job

916
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,480
a lot easier because we're on the same

917
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:39,840
page it's common goal common purpose and

918
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,480
safe environment for kids is what I'd

01:15:41,480 --> 01:15:43,239

Paramount residents the service of a

942
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,800
free app that serves kind of as a

943
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,920
concierge to help navigate and acquire

944
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,520
Mental Health Services and as we know

945
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,560
this can often sometimes be very complex

946
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,199
um so our first item tonight is a

947
01:16:46,199 --> 01:16:48,120
presentation by a guest presenter from

948
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,800
Caris Solus that's the name of the the

949
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:54,000
mental health app provider and this this

950
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,639
this came as a request by the city

951
01:16:55,639 --> 01:16:57,520
council that this presentation be be

952
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,560
given to see how much the service is

953
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,960
being utilized by by our residents so

954
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,040

955
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,239
car Solace hi Anita hi good evening

956
01:17:08,239 --> 01:17:11,560
mayor council members city manager it's

957
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,159
an honor to be here especially since

958
01:17:14,159 --> 01:17:16,239
it's women's history month and I don't

959
01:17:16,239 --> 01:17:19,159
often get to present to to leaders that

960
01:17:19,159 --> 01:17:21,800
are all women so I'm it's kind of iconic

961
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,000
for me a moment I'm a fan girl a little

962
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,719
bit I I I love paramont I I love working

963
01:17:27,719 --> 01:17:30,320
with you so one just thank you so much

964
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,440
for the for the opportunity to be

965
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:34,120
partnered with the city what I'm going

966
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,000
to do is share with you um there's a

967
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,560
monthly report that gets produced around

968
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,600
the data and the impact and and what

969
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,600
we're doing here in the city and so what

970
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,400
I thought I would do is while the whole

971
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:46,760
impact is loaded I'm not going to

972
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,679
overwhelm you I'll skip through some of

973
01:17:48,679 --> 01:17:50,800
these slides in because I'm having

974
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:52,679
trouble seeing anymore I do have them in

975
01:17:52,679 --> 01:17:56,360
front of me as well embarrassingly so um

976
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,960
a as the C manager said we're basically

977
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,800
your partner in a conier like service to

978
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:04,480
provide access to mental health care

979
01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:07,480
providers for all of your residents and

980
01:18:07,480 --> 01:18:10,280
using the QR code they simply access our

981
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,400
services either through phone calls by

982
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,320
going to the website or actually

983
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,560
scanning the QR code and getting

984
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:21,199
directly to a care manager um we connect

985
01:18:21,199 --> 01:18:23,159
all all of the parts of the city

986
01:18:23,159 --> 01:18:25,960
including a lot of your businesses as

987
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,520
well as nonprofits and the Red Cross

988
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,560
frankly who was here just a moment ago

989
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,320
so we're really becoming that that Hub

990
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,960
if you will for the

991
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:39,120
city I am delighted to present the the

992
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,000
numbers today because we've already

993
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,800
helped 3,000 individuals have used our

994
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:49,360
services and for those individuals we

995
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,920
have provided what we think of as 18,000

996
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,360
Services now I don't know if of you have

997
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,760
ever had to place a call or try to find

998
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,639
a mental health provider I've had to in

999
01:19:00,639 --> 01:19:05,440
my own family and it took 60 to 80 calls

1000
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:07,880
because I'm navigating things like

1001
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:09,840
language and ethnicity and

1002
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,840
specialization and do they take my

1003
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,280
insurance and if I don't have insurance

1004
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,560
what do I do then and then are they

1005
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,120
available and what happens is people

1006
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,320
just give up it's a frustrating effort

1007
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,080
and 80% of the time because they can't

1008
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,120
get a connection they give up what we do

1009
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,480
on behalf of them is we make all of

1010
01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:33,320
those calls we navigate their languages

1011
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,199
we navigate cultural relevance we find

1012
01:19:36,199 --> 01:19:38,400
them providers that take their insurance

1013
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,760
and if they don't have insurance then we

1014
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,880
find providers who will help them

1015
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,520
navigate sliding scale or do pro bono

1016
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,760
work so we remove all of the obstacles

1017
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,159
to care and then we actually make the

1018
01:19:52,159 --> 01:19:54,159
appointment work with your resident and

1019
01:19:54,159 --> 01:19:56,400
if they can't get to the appointment we

1020
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:59,280
find transportation for them so they can

1021
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,600
so we're taking that that concierge

1022
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,880
service all the way from the moment that

1023
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,960
a resident calls us or reaches out to us

1024
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,600
to matching them with providers and then

1025
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,679
making the appointment getting them to

1026
01:20:11,679 --> 01:20:14,719
the care and then following up so on

1027
01:20:14,719 --> 01:20:16,400
behalf of them that means we have made

1028
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,280
about 18,000 of those phone calls and

1029
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:22,639
services and tracking um folks to get to

1030
01:20:22,639 --> 01:20:25,040
get them into care I'm really proud of

1031
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:27,320
the fact that we are doing this we're

1032
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,880
matching people in a day essentially so

1033
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:31,760
we're navigating quickly getting them

1034
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,040
into care because that's most critical

1035
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,159
for us and then the time to the

1036
01:20:36,159 --> 01:20:38,639
appointment is about six and a half days

1037
01:20:38,639 --> 01:20:40,120
but that also depends upon the

1038
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,280
availability of your resident as much as

1039
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,760
it does with the provider so we're we're

1040
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,520
feeling very proud of the fact that we

1041
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,000
are getting people into care and at the

1042
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,960
same time where that says 95% matches

1043
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,040
only 5% of people who are using us

1044
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:57,480
actually don't follow through on an

1045
01:20:57,480 --> 01:20:59,880
appointment so we're so we're very happy

1046
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:01,520
that we're able to get them both into

1047
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,600
care as well as actually matching them

1048
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,280
these are the zip codes and that we we

1049
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,520
are predominantly taking calls or

1050
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,639
servicing I'm sorry I can't read them

1051
01:21:11,639 --> 01:21:14,440
that but there but it's uh

1052
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:19,199
90723 is about 40% of the the calls or

1053
01:21:19,199 --> 01:21:20,840
matches that we're getting come from

1054
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,719
that zip code and then the other two

1055
01:21:22,719 --> 01:21:26,280
90022 and 907 33 now there are many more

1056
01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,880
zip codes that I actually use and uh the

1057
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:30,880
reason we track that is because

1058
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,920
especially during the fires we were

1059
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:34,679
getting lots of calls even from other

1060
01:21:34,679 --> 01:21:37,600
zip codes but simply handling them

1061
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,000
because the truth is that whoever calls

1062
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,320
us we help so doesn't matter what the

1063
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,560
ZIP code is if they call on your call

1064
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:46,159
we're going to help

1065
01:21:46,159 --> 01:21:49,840
them um and and I want to focus for a

1066
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:52,440
minute on this particular chart because

1067
01:21:52,440 --> 01:21:55,320
what we saw in January were people

1068
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,600
experiencing all kinds of level of of

1069
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,880
mental health trauma depression anxiety

1070
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,040
related to the fires and we doubled the

1071
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,360
individuals that we helped there are

1072
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,679
537 and for the most part anybody who

1073
01:22:10,679 --> 01:22:13,679
called us in January had some either

1074
01:22:13,679 --> 01:22:16,440
direct impact because of the fires or

1075
01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:20,120
tangential impact or sadly survivors

1076
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,120
guilt like what what is happening in my

1077
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:26,239
life and why why am I I here so we saw

1078
01:22:26,239 --> 01:22:28,360
levels of depression anxiety trauma

1079
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,840
going up tremendously as we took those

1080
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,920
calls but we also doubled the volume uh

1081
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,040
in the month of January it dipped back

1082
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,719
down but February is a small month and I

1083
01:22:38,719 --> 01:22:41,400
will caution us all to realize that the

1084
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,400
impact of the fires on mental health is

1085
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,639
going to have a very long tail so we'll

1086
01:22:45,639 --> 01:22:47,440
keep tracking that and Reporting it back

1087
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:49,440
to you and then tying it back to the

1088
01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:51,920
impact uh I I realized our First

1089
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,800
Responders are gone but we actually

1090
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:57,400
helped about 27 or so First Responders

1091
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,600
with their mental health too so

1092
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,320
sometimes we think it's just about the

1093
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,320
residents but those teams are struggling

1094
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:06,600
maybe even more or at least as much as

1095
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,239
many of the residents as they dealt with

1096
01:23:08,239 --> 01:23:09,199
that

1097
01:23:09,199 --> 01:23:11,199
trauma uh we've talked about time to

1098
01:23:11,199 --> 01:23:12,600
match I'll skip through and go straight

1099
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,639
to what I'm we're seeing in the data

1100
01:23:14,639 --> 01:23:17,280
because we oops sorry about that because

1101
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:20,280
we look at the data across a number of

1102
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:23,080
categories age being one of them did I

1103
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,360
just skip that again there we go

1104
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,719
John stop me if I do that I get crazy

1105
01:23:28,719 --> 01:23:31,360
with these clickers um the the a cou

1106
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:33,000
I'll point out a couple of points and my

1107
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,159
dream ultimately is you have probably

1108
01:23:35,159 --> 01:23:37,000
recall me saying in the past given my

1109
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,120
own history of being chronically

1110
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,560
unhoused is how do we help the kids how

1111
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,280
do we get down generationally and so I

1112
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,719
look at this cross generationally cross

1113
01:23:46,719 --> 01:23:49,239
generationally and as you see depression

1114
01:23:49,239 --> 01:23:51,960
anxiety over the last 13 months in that

1115
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,639
gen Alpha and gen Z population is

1116
01:23:55,639 --> 01:23:58,199
60% kids are struggling we're getting a

1117
01:23:58,199 --> 01:24:01,000
lot of them into care uh and then what

1118
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:02,760
we're trying to do is wrap our arms as

1119
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,440
well around the parent and treat the

1120
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:06,760
whole child so not only are we getting

1121
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:08,480
children into care but then assessing

1122
01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:10,800
the situation more broadly and making

1123
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,600
sure that is there an underlying

1124
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:14,199
insecurity around food is there an

1125
01:24:14,199 --> 01:24:16,600
underlying insecurity around housing is

1126
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,280
there underlying insecurity with mental

1127
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,800
health with a parent or Guardian as well

1128
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,320
and then as you look across the

1129
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,120
generations you'll see where um suicidal

1130
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,040
ideation is a little bit it's higher

1131
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,960
among Millennials and Gen X um we

1132
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,040
actually have had calls and have been

1133
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,679
supporting Baby Boomers as well so it's

1134
01:24:35,679 --> 01:24:38,280
not that um that we're not helping every

1135
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:39,960
single generation which is kind of

1136
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,600
exciting and and you'll see in that

1137
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,920
population although it's a smaller n SI

1138
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:47,960
a smaller size sample that um depression

1139
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,520
is also High there so as we start

1140
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,440
thinking about what what do these Trends

1141
01:24:52,440 --> 01:24:55,360
look like I that they stay pretty steady

1142
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:56,920
around depression in the younger

1143
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,800
population trauma begins to kick in in

1144
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,080
the millennial population and then more

1145
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,520
broadly we go back to depression and

1146
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:09,239
anxiety um we are serving predominantly

1147
01:25:09,239 --> 01:25:11,840
um uh people who speak English and

1148
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,360
Spanish as you can see when we look at

1149
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,880
ethnicity and language although we are

1150
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:18,920
interestingly working with the church

1151
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,639
we've reached out and put cards inside

1152
01:25:21,639 --> 01:25:24,119
the church and so that we can tap deeper

1153
01:25:24,119 --> 01:25:26,400
into into both the African-American

1154
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:28,280
population and the Asian population we

1155
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,560
had some success in La generating um

1156
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,080
more uh more interest from the Asian

1157
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,800
population which is a tough um culture

1158
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,480
to crack in terms of getting them to uh

1159
01:25:39,480 --> 01:25:42,199
mental health care we do compare your

1160
01:25:42,199 --> 01:25:45,080
data to the Los Angeles County so you

1161
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,719
can see the piece that's the highest is

1162
01:25:47,719 --> 01:25:49,960
depression where there is statistic

1163
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,199
statistically significant difference

1164
01:25:52,199 --> 01:25:53,960
around the depression that we're seeing

1165
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,440
in Paramount but we can drill down at

1166
01:25:56,440 --> 01:25:57,800
any point I know it's not tonight it's

1167
01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,280
not the appropriate V view but if you

1168
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:00,920
would like to we can drill down and

1169
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,320
figure out exactly where it's at

1170
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:04,400
depression coming from what age groups

1171
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:05,960
what ethnicities and then start to

1172
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,040
Target programs or campaigns or efforts

1173
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,000
to help with that and I'm happy to work

1174
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,119
with you on that and then we look across

1175
01:26:14,119 --> 01:26:17,480
each one of the categories and you can

1176
01:26:17,480 --> 01:26:19,040
again start to see what kinds of

1177
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,719
messaging do we need to make in our in

1178
01:26:21,719 --> 01:26:23,600
our white population the Hispanic

1179
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,000
population and then on the other two

1180
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,360
pages you can see that we were able to

1181
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,119
tap in as I said into the Asian

1182
01:26:30,119 --> 01:26:31,440
population for the first time they're

1183
01:26:31,440 --> 01:26:33,639
actually showing up in the data in a

1184
01:26:33,639 --> 01:26:36,520
significant way so we'll again reach out

1185
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,920
to the organizations that support them

1186
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,040
to the churches to you and uh and happy

1187
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,840
to form messaging in maybe your

1188
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,639
newsletters that we can tap into some of

1189
01:26:46,639 --> 01:26:47,719
those and I'll work with the city

1190
01:26:47,719 --> 01:26:49,400
manager around

1191
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,639
that and then in the month of February

1192
01:26:52,639 --> 01:26:54,280
so I figured we should take a look at

1193
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,159
February while I was focused a bit on

1194
01:26:56,159 --> 01:26:58,960
January with the fires in February

1195
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:00,960
you'll see a high degree a higher degree

1196
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,040
than normal of people who accepted or

1197
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:05,520
asked for T theapy and that too was

1198
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,800
associated with a younger population 18

1199
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,639
to 25 and many of many of those were

1200
01:27:10,639 --> 01:27:12,159
coming out of the fires and saying I

1201
01:27:12,159 --> 01:27:14,679
just need somebody to talk to and the

1202
01:27:14,679 --> 01:27:17,480
preference in this case were 63 folks

1203
01:27:17,480 --> 01:27:20,360
wanting T therapy and then 105 that we

1204
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:24,360
placed into um into inperson therapy we

1205
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:25,920
have a population that's asking for

1206
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,600
assessments albeit it's still small but

1207
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,880
um 17 people and then as you see in

1208
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:32,560
terms of placing people either either

1209
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:36,000
into outpatient services Psychiatry

1210
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,000
hospitalization uh there and and applied

1211
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,159
behavioral um analysis by the way is

1212
01:27:41,159 --> 01:27:43,080
coming up much in the much younger

1213
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:46,280
population obviously and then suicidal

1214
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:50,679
um ideation and self harm we have uh I

1215
01:27:50,679 --> 01:27:52,119
was like does that still says eight

1216
01:27:52,119 --> 01:27:54,480
right um we have eight individual TOS

1217
01:27:54,480 --> 01:27:56,400
that we actually helped in in that

1218
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,840
effort as well so we're making progress

1219
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:00,920
in terms of the insurance this is always

1220
01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,880
my proudest moment um having been in a

1221
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,920
situation never having insurance for a

1222
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,679
long time but um the public insurance

1223
01:28:08,679 --> 01:28:11,040
and no insurance we're helping your most

1224
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:13,239
vulnerable populations if this is just

1225
01:28:13,239 --> 01:28:16,880
simply a proxy for income where uh 60 or

1226
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:18,880
almost 70% of the people that were

1227
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,440
helping have no insurance or have public

1228
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:25,800
insurance so we're tapping into a a need

1229
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:28,560
and and we're delighted with the

1230
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,239
partnership and I know we I was trying

1231
01:28:30,239 --> 01:28:32,080
to stick to our timing here which for an

1232
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,440
Italian girl is sometimes more difficult

1233
01:28:34,440 --> 01:28:37,280
but um but I'm happy to answer any

1234
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,960
questions dive deeper and if at any

1235
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,119
point city manager if you would like to

1236
01:28:42,119 --> 01:28:44,280
go through this and create more Deep

1237
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,040
dive around the data I'm happy to set up

1238
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:48,679
something out outside of city council as

1239
01:28:48,679 --> 01:28:50,960
well yes are there any uh comments from

1240
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,119
my colleagues I just have one Madam May

1241
01:28:53,119 --> 01:28:54,679
yes go ahead can you go to first slide

1242
01:28:54,679 --> 01:28:56,199
please where it showed the

1243
01:28:56,199 --> 01:28:58,040
counts I'm sorry that you have to go all

1244
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:00,040
the way

1245
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,320
back so there are a couple hundred

1246
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,400
people in February that we helped no I

1247
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,199
think your very first slide oh my very

1248
01:29:06,199 --> 01:29:09,830
first one so so

1249
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,119
sorry so the 3,100 several referrals

1250
01:29:13,119 --> 01:29:15,159
requests so is that unique so maybe is

1251
01:29:15,159 --> 01:29:17,360
that one person calling and you did one

1252
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:19,639
unique referral or is that one person

1253
01:29:19,639 --> 01:29:21,480
multiple times calling it's it's one

1254
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:24,360
person calling it could be though a

1255
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,840
couple of people in a family so but it

1256
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:30,239
is individuals individuals okay and then

1257
01:29:30,239 --> 01:29:32,440
and that's over about 14 months so I

1258
01:29:32,440 --> 01:29:34,440
think we started January I mean December

1259
01:29:34,440 --> 01:29:38,800
of 2023 till now 14 months with 3,100 so

1260
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,480
John if we were to take the 3,18 divided

1261
01:29:41,480 --> 01:29:43,199
by our

1262
01:29:43,199 --> 01:29:46,159
population I'm not a mathematician I'm

1263
01:29:46,159 --> 01:29:47,679
looking at the percentage trying to

1264
01:29:47,679 --> 01:29:49,880
figure out utilization percentage I can

1265
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:51,239
include that on there each month if you

1266
01:29:51,239 --> 01:29:52,719
would like as well that way we could

1267
01:29:52,719 --> 01:29:55,239
just kind of see kind of absolutely

churches in our community I I have a

1272
01:30:04,199 --> 01:30:06,040
list of those churches that we went to

1273
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,800
and and in fact I believe that mayor may

1274
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,520
have given them to me last time I was

1275
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,719
here I I got a list that um came from

1276
01:30:13,719 --> 01:30:15,960
one of the city council members and then

1277
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:17,560
went back through Maggie gave it to me

time taking cards over and sharing the

1282
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,920
QR codes so if I've missed something

1283

books and newspaper articles and

1340
01:32:50,440 --> 01:32:53,600
really it's like digging for Treasure I

1341
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,040
just wanted to do a quick review before

1342
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:58,239
I hand it over on on why why there's

1343
01:32:58,239 --> 01:32:59,560
there's a lot of reasons a lot a lot of

1344
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:00,600
really good reasons so I have three

1345
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,800
slides on that um the first is is

1346
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:04,239
community there is a strong Community

1347
01:33:04,239 --> 01:33:05,719
interest and you could just just just

1348
01:33:05,719 --> 01:33:07,320
here in this this room this this

1349
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:09,000
building could be considered historic

1350
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:10,600
and I'm looking at some historic photos

1351
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:13,080
across from me on the on the wall so we

1352
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:14,440
are celebrating we've been celebrating

1353
01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:16,960
this for um the Paramount's history for

1354
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:18,400
for a long

1355
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,440
time um one example is there's a social

1356
01:33:21,440 --> 01:33:23,960
media page um progress in Paramount

1357
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,520
history that now has over 3,200 members

1358
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,760
it's quite a bit for a a town for a city

1359
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,840
of a Paramount size and and just to put

1360
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:33,840
that in perspective the the city's

1361
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:36,800
official page has 10,000 followers so um

1362
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:38,320
just kind of lining that up a lot of

1363
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:39,960
interest in in history so it's people

1364
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:41,719
who live here and it's uh people who

1365
01:33:41,719 --> 01:33:43,400
once lived here and and moved out and

1366
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:45,920
and want to keep those ties and and um

1367
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:47,600
are thrilled when somebody uncovers an

1368
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,080
old photo public information so we do

1369
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:51,719
have some information on the city

1370
01:33:51,719 --> 01:33:54,840
website and other um in other forums but

1371
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:56,960
we want to kind of beef that up using

1372
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:00,320
best practices um and be historically

1373
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:02,639
accurate um and it's timely so you know

1374
01:34:02,639 --> 01:34:05,600
the the museum is very close um right

1375
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,960
outside the parking lot over here um

1376
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,719

1377
01:34:11,719 --> 01:34:14,880
uh this project ties the um you know

1378
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:16,520
it's it's it's a written document but it

1379
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:18,159
ties the uh the world

1380
01:34:18,159 --> 01:34:21,600
around um the city adopted a general

1381
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,600
plan that's our kind of blueprint for

1382
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:26,199
development over the years and there is

1383
01:34:26,199 --> 01:34:28,000
a policy the city will identify and

1384
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,040
preserve sites and buildings that are

1385
01:34:30,040 --> 01:34:32,480
important to the community for the

1386
01:34:32,480 --> 01:34:34,199
benefit of the future Generations that

1387
01:34:34,199 --> 01:34:36,600

01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,880
Paramount but we want to thank you for

1469
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:02,760
the opportunity that we had to to

1470
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:06,000
produce this study um and I'm here um if

1471
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:07,560
there are any questions at the end but

1472
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,480
with that I'd like to turn it over to se

1473
01:38:09,480 --> 01:38:11,840
who will give you a broad overview of

1474
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:16,229
the project thank

1475
01:38:16,239 --> 01:38:18,920
you thank you John thank you Christine

1476
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:22,880
good evening everyone um as so as um as

1477
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:23,960
John mentioned

1478
01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:26,159
uh there were really two main components

1479
01:38:26,159 --> 01:38:29,800
to this project the first is a narrative

1480
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:31,840
which is a historic context statement so

1481
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:33,599
it's a big thick document of a think a

1482
01:38:33,599 --> 01:38:35,560
couple hundred Pages something like that

1483
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:36,880
talking about the history of the built

1484
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,159
environment and then the second part is

1485
01:38:39,159 --> 01:38:42,440
a Citywide historic resources survey and

1486
01:38:42,440 --> 01:38:44,760
that is basically where someone from our

1487
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,159
survey team went and laid eyes on each

1488
01:38:47,159 --> 01:38:48,639
of the

1489
01:38:48,639 --> 01:38:51,199
6,600 miscellaneous numbered Parcels

1490
01:38:51,199 --> 01:38:53,080
that you guys have here in the city and

1491
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:54,520
looked at add it compared it with the

1492
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,239
context statement and attempted to

1493
01:38:56,239 --> 01:38:58,719
determine if there was anything um

1494
01:38:58,719 --> 01:39:00,560
potentially historically significant

1495
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,560
about it so I do that perfect so let's

1496
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,560
take each of the one of these Concepts

1497
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:07,880
here and just break it down a little bit

1498
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:09,639
um so what is a historic context

1499
01:39:09,639 --> 01:39:12,480
statement it's a very specialized form

1500
01:39:12,480 --> 01:39:14,760
of historical writing with specific

1501
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,560
goals and requirements uh it's not

1502
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:19,480
tended to it's not intended to be a

1503
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:21,400
chronological uh recitation of a

1504
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:23,520
community significant historical events

1505
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:25,400
or noteworthy citizens or a

1506
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,159
comprehensive community history so if

1507
01:39:27,159 --> 01:39:29,239
you're thinking about writing a book on

1508
01:39:29,239 --> 01:39:31,400
Paramount we're not getting in your way

1509
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,880
you're welcome to do that um Instead

1510
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:35,480
This historic context statement is

1511
01:39:35,480 --> 01:39:37,400
intended to provide an analytical

1512
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,239
framework for identifying and evaluating

1513
01:39:40,239 --> 01:39:43,159
Resources by placing built resources in

1514
01:39:43,159 --> 01:39:45,920
the appropriate historic social and

1515
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:47,760
Architectural context so the

1516
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,440
relationship between an area's physical

1517
01:39:49,440 --> 01:39:51,520
environment and its broader history can

1518
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,960
be evaluated so this is the idea that

1519
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:55,920
the context statement and the survey

1520
01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,119
work hand inand to help identify

1521
01:39:58,119 --> 01:40:00,880
potential historic resources so how do

1522
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,840
we do this uh we do it by any number of

1523
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:06,280
ways but uh the basic thing is we use

1524
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,000
both primary and secondary resources

1525
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,599
that includes Maps City directories

1526
01:40:11,599 --> 01:40:14,320
newspaper articles you know um personal

1527
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,159
letters archives anything we can get our

1528
01:40:16,159 --> 01:40:18,280
hands on and I will just say that it was

1529
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,040
especially challenging here in Paramount

1530
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:23,360
uh for any number of reasons not the we

1531
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:24,880
least of which is that your historic

1532
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,960
newspapers are not online um and uh and

1533
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:30,679
let's just say the hindes area the

1534
01:40:30,679 --> 01:40:32,560
historic hindes area is fairly Loosely

1535
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,880
defined I spent many hours myself

1536
01:40:34,880 --> 01:40:36,360
looking up resources only to find out

1537
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:38,119
they were not within the city limits of

1538
01:40:38,119 --> 01:40:40,199
present day Paramount um and we didn't

1539
01:40:40,199 --> 01:40:42,880
have a lot of early building permits um

1540
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,520
and so it was a bit of a challenge uh

1541
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,920
project but I think the the breadth and

1542
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:49,840
depth of what we found is is a testament

1543
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,199
in and of

1544
01:40:51,199 --> 01:40:54,320
itself so what is basically it's a

1545
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:55,960
period of study is between Native

1546
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,520
American history through

1547
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:00,920
1979 so when you want to take a look

1548
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,560
back at the 80s it is something you will

1549
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,239
then have to um to update as Christine

1550
01:41:05,239 --> 01:41:07,000
said that these are living documents

1551
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,320
typically um and we were confined to the

1552
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:11,639
current city limits uh and the scope of

1553
01:41:11,639 --> 01:41:13,840
the study included national state and

1554
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:14,880
local

1555
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,800
events so here are the overviews of the

1556
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,080
themes that are covered the Native

1557
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,840
American period European exploration and

1558
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:26,679
colonis ation the Rancho era early clear

1559
01:41:26,679 --> 01:41:29,480
water and Hines expansion in industrial

1560
01:41:29,480 --> 01:41:31,639
and agricultural growth so that's in the

1561
01:41:31,639 --> 01:41:35,040
period between the 1920s and 1940s World

1562
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:37,840
War II and then the birth of Paramount

1563
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,440
post-war prosperity and Redevelopment so

1564
01:41:40,440 --> 01:41:42,440
from 1946 to

1565
01:41:42,440 --> 01:41:44,880
1979 I should also mention that this

1566
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:47,320
context statement takes a look at um

1567
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:49,239
suburbanization and exclusionary

1568
01:41:49,239 --> 01:41:51,880
practices uh within the city and we talk

1569
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:53,360
about the diverse groups that have

1570
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:54,679
historically been here and that is

1571
01:41:54,679 --> 01:41:58,669
sprinkled throughout the entire

1572
01:41:58,679 --> 01:42:01,400
document so the second part of the the

1573
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:03,760
project was a historic resources survey

1574
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:06,599
as we said um and that is again to

1575
01:42:06,599 --> 01:42:08,840
provide information on

1576
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:11,280
potential historic resources it's

1577
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,560
important to understand that nothing is

1578
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,960
being designated as part of this project

1579
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:19,000
um we're just providing Baseline

1580
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,679
information um designation is its own

1581
01:42:21,679 --> 01:42:24,080
very separate process and currently

1582
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:25,880
there is no local ordinance with which

1583
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:28,760
to designate anything um so what you're

1584
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:30,280
you're getting out of the survey is a

1585
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,639
snapshot of the city's potential

1586
01:42:32,639 --> 01:42:34,880
historic resources at this specific

1587
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,550
moment in

1588
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:39,920
time and we do that through a number of

1589
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:42,920
ways we do that through um the uh

1590
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:46,159
National and uh State guidelines so

1591
01:42:46,159 --> 01:42:49,119
together we use these three Criterion uh

1592
01:42:49,119 --> 01:42:52,360
criteria excuse me uh that uh include

1593
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:54,560
being associated with events that have

1594
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:56,119
made a significant contribution to the

1595
01:42:56,119 --> 01:42:59,239
broad patterns of History um that are

1596
01:42:59,239 --> 01:43:01,159
Criterion B associated with the lives of

1597
01:43:01,159 --> 01:43:03,239
persons significant in our past or

1598
01:43:03,239 --> 01:43:05,679
Criterion C or three that embody the

1599
01:43:05,679 --> 01:43:07,320
distinctive characteristics of a type

1600
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:09,239
period or method of construction that

1601
01:43:09,239 --> 01:43:10,960
represent the work of a master or that

1602
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,560
possesses High artistic values so in

1603
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,199
essence architectural

1604
01:43:16,199 --> 01:43:18,719
significance once we have examined each

1605
01:43:18,719 --> 01:43:21,239
of the parcels for uh the eligibility

1606
01:43:21,239 --> 01:43:23,280
criteria through the context statement

1607
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:25,080
and our own visual recognition of what

1608
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,480
is there we then have to evaluate what

1609
01:43:27,480 --> 01:43:30,280
we what we call Integrity so we apply

1610
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:32,560
Integrity considerations to each

1611
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,159
property um and determine whether or not

1612
01:43:35,159 --> 01:43:37,320
it retains as we say in our work

1613
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:39,920
sufficient Integrity to convey its

1614
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:43,189
historic

1615
01:43:43,199 --> 01:43:45,400
significance and so here's just a bit of

1616
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,199
an overview as I mentioned there are

1617
01:43:48,199 --> 01:43:50,840
6,597 Parcels that were developed prior

1618
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:51,800
to

1619
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,119
1979 uh we did our reconnaissance survey

1620
01:43:55,119 --> 01:43:57,159
our windshield drives we did everything

1621
01:43:57,159 --> 01:43:59,679
from the public right of way and then uh

1622
01:43:59,679 --> 01:44:02,199
basically looked at a deeper dive into

1623
01:44:02,199 --> 01:44:05,360
documentation and uh and and research on

1624
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,599
specific Parcels as was

1625
01:44:07,599 --> 01:44:09,880
warranted and here are the

1626
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,239
recommendations in total we found 98

1627
01:44:13,239 --> 01:44:15,960
properties potentially individ

1628
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,800
individually eligible and as you can see

1629
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:20,880
the vast majority of those were um

1630
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:22,639
residential although there were

1631
01:44:22,639 --> 01:44:25,599
commercial and Civic and institutional

1632
01:44:25,599 --> 01:44:27,760
and spoiler alert we're standing in one

1633
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,960
of them right now um there is also a few

1634
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,760
industrial and infrastructure um uh

1635
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:37,800
properties as well so just under a 100

1636
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:39,960
properties and if we break break those

1637
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,760
down by historic context or theme as you

1638
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:45,400
can see we found 17 that were associated

1639
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:47,239
with the early clear water and Hines

1640
01:44:47,239 --> 01:44:49,960
period 31 during the expansion and

1641
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,520
growth period of the 20s to the 40s a

1642
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:55,520
couple from World War II 38 from the

1643
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,960
birth of Paramount uh the C the city's

1644
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,400
prosperity and Redevelopment and 34 for

1645
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:02,840
their architecture and design and three

1646
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:05,599
associated with an ethnic group those

1647
01:45:05,599 --> 01:45:08,400
three just FYI were the N Japanese

1648
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,199
Baptist Church Yan's market and the

1649
01:45:11,199 --> 01:45:14,159
Hines Dees Portuguese Hall all important

1650
01:45:14,159 --> 01:45:16,800
groups uh in the history of the city of

1651
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:19,480
Paramount uh so here uh as you can see

1652
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:22,199
this is an overview we did not find any

1653
01:45:22,199 --> 01:45:24,920
historic districts only properties that

1654
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:27,800
were potentially uh individually

1655
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:29,639
eligible um and there's quite a

1656
01:45:29,639 --> 01:45:32,040
geographic distribution as you can see

1657
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:35,119
here so just a couple of examples quick

1658
01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:38,280
examples here are some that were uh we

1659
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,000
we thought potentially uh eligible for

1660
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:42,840
their association with events or

1661
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,639
patterns so you have uh some commercial

1662
01:45:45,639 --> 01:45:47,760
development here for the early days of

1663
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:49,520
Hines and clear water just across the

1664
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:52,000
street from us we also have again across

1665
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:53,480
the street in the other direction

1666
01:45:53,480 --> 01:45:55,560
the the what is now known as the saw

1667
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,280
building um and then uh just to show you

1668
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:00,599
the breath there's the postwar multif

1669
01:46:00,599 --> 01:46:02,880
family residential uh at

1670
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:06,080
15560 Orange

1671
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,440
Avenue and then a little bit of eye

1672
01:46:08,440 --> 01:46:10,880
candy from Paramount architecture you

1673
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:13,280
can see we found everything from lovely

1674
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:15,000
little vernacular Cottages with hip

1675
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,560
roofs to late modern to of course lovely

1676
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:19,800
Spanish colonial revival uh with the

1677
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:22,520
drive-in Market there so that's

1678
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,639
basically an overview of the project and

1679
01:46:24,639 --> 01:46:26,520
what we found and I think we'd be happy

1680
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:28,960
to take any questions are there any

1681
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,080
comments from my colleagues I have a few

1682
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:33,199
questions yes go ahead go ahead Vice May

1683
01:46:33,199 --> 01:46:36,280
vice mayor um first I just want to say

1684
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:40,760
that um I read the document and it was

1685
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:43,639
absolutely intriguing I mean I learned

1686
01:46:43,639 --> 01:46:47,400
so much I for me personally I was not

1687
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,639
aware whatsoever of the contributions

1688
01:46:50,639 --> 01:46:53,159
from and it has a name that I can't

1689
01:46:53,159 --> 01:46:54,560
pronounce I was going to ask you to tell

1690
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:56,520
me how to pronounce it for the Asian

1691
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,480
population you guys said that the modern

1692
01:46:59,480 --> 01:47:01,119
term is and it was something I think

1693
01:47:01,119 --> 01:47:03,679
with the T and I i' never heard that

1694
01:47:03,679 --> 01:47:07,080
term before but um you guys's com yeah

1695
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:08,599
so it's in your document it was really

1696
01:47:08,599 --> 01:47:11,920
fascinating and and um and the

1697
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:13,360
contributions that they made to the city

1698
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:15,280
of Paramount I never heard those things

1699
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,800
before um the there were so many

1700
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:22,080
recognizable names and and as you said

1701
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:26,360
structures and um it was so in depth

1702
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:30,599
that I actually um spoke to um the city

1703
01:47:30,599 --> 01:47:34,239
manager to try to understand more of

1704
01:47:34,239 --> 01:47:37,080
what the document was actually for

1705
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:39,760
because like you said there's so much

1706
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:43,599
more that's not in it and so if you can

1707
01:47:43,599 --> 01:47:45,520
help me Clarity

1708
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:50,280
wise I get what you're saying

1709
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,599
that this is from what I understood from

1710
01:47:53,599 --> 01:47:56,880
them to kind of catalog everything that

1711
01:47:56,880 --> 01:48:00,800
we have that has historical value um for

1712
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,040
future reference in case we come up with

1713
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:05,040
an ordinance and want to designate those

1714
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:06,679
things but

1715
01:48:06,679 --> 01:48:10,080
behind properties there was also so much

1716
01:48:10,080 --> 01:48:12,560
history that you gave about people and

1717
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:17,040
movement and why and so my question then

1718
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:21,159
becomes why did we stop at that date

1719
01:48:21,159 --> 01:48:23,159
because personally

1720
01:48:23,159 --> 01:48:26,000
I know that from the time that a lot of

1721
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,800
those buildings existed on Paramount

1722
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,960
Boulevard and a certain way of life

1723
01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:34,480
Paramount took dramatic changes starting

1724
01:48:34,480 --> 01:48:37,280
in the 70s and 80s which is kind of

1725
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:39,800
where we're all at but there's 40 years

1726
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:45,350
there and so I'm just wondering

1727
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,760
why thank you for your comments and for

1728
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,760
that question um I will try to provide

1729
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:52,599
an answer and then certainly John and C

1730
01:48:52,599 --> 01:48:55,560
if if you have more to add so just to

1731
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:57,280
address the first part of your comment

1732
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:00,080
about um what is the document used for

1733
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:01,520
because it seems like we're kind of

1734
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:03,960
bridging two things like you said it's

1735
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:05,599
about identifying things in the built

1736
01:49:05,599 --> 01:49:07,239
environment but there's also quite a bit

1737
01:49:07,239 --> 01:49:09,800
of background narrative in there as well

1738
01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:14,159
so the idea is um for this study to help

1739
01:49:14,159 --> 01:49:16,520
understand like I said how Paramount

1740
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,040
became what it is today why does it look

1741
01:49:19,040 --> 01:49:21,679
the way that it does why our residential

1742
01:49:21,679 --> 01:49:23,480
neighborhoods developed the way that

1743
01:49:23,480 --> 01:49:24,760
they were when were those tracks

1744
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:27,159
subdivided that kind of thing all of

1745
01:49:27,159 --> 01:49:28,920
that is background information that

1746
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,840
leads you to why might this little house

1747
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:34,800
be eligible um we also include that

1748
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:36,679
amount of background information because

1749
01:49:36,679 --> 01:49:39,080
as John mentioned um you'll be doing

1750
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,199
Environmental Studies and other studies

1751
01:49:41,199 --> 01:49:43,400
for you know planning um planning

1752
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:46,400
department purposes and it's really hard

1753
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,199
I can say from experience when you're

1754
01:49:48,199 --> 01:49:49,639
asked to come in and look at something

1755
01:49:49,639 --> 01:49:51,760
in a community if there isn't a

1756
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,040
background document such as a context

1757
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,679
statement you're starting at Ground Zero

1758
01:49:56,679 --> 01:49:58,560
you don't understand the population of

1759
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:00,239
resources you don't understand who the

1760
01:50:00,239 --> 01:50:03,360
people were so I can look up who lived

1761
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,320
at a house but I don't have any frame of

1762
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,080
reference to identify whether that might

1763
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:09,560
be significant or not so a lot of that

1764
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:11,679
background information is hopefully to

1765
01:50:11,679 --> 01:50:13,719
provide a spring board for additional

1766
01:50:13,719 --> 01:50:16,280
studies um and it's just it's kind of

1767
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,360
the methodology for preparing these

1768
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,599
documents so it's sort of enough

1769
01:50:20,599 --> 01:50:23,080
background information so that we can

1770
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:24,599
understand the built environment in

1771
01:50:24,599 --> 01:50:26,840
order to do our project and then provide

1772
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,760
additional information for the future in

1773
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:31,639
terms of the period of study this is

1774
01:50:31,639 --> 01:50:34,320
always something we struggle with um

1775
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,360
we'd love to write you know through

1776
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,080
today really because there's lots of

1777
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,480
interesting things that keep happening

1778
01:50:40,480 --> 01:50:43,760
but um just for a variety of reasons 40

1779
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:46,920
years is generally the cut off that that

1780
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:49,840
is used for these types of surveys um

1781
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,719
the National Park Service specifies that

1782
01:50:51,719 --> 01:50:53,520
things need to be at least 50 years old

1783
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,000
to be considered historic the California

1784
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:57,760
register isn't that strict about it but

1785
01:50:57,760 --> 01:50:59,719
they still say that there needs to be

1786
01:50:59,719 --> 01:51:02,719
enough separation from the historic

1787
01:51:02,719 --> 01:51:05,840
period to have an understanding not as a

1788
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,520
contemporary but really from a

1789
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:10,679
historical perspective um and so you

1790
01:51:10,679 --> 01:51:12,719
know we sort of look at a time frame

1791
01:51:12,719 --> 01:51:14,800
that makes sense I would also say that

1792
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:16,920
because this was the first ever

1793
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:19,079
comprehensive study of the city of

1794
01:51:19,079 --> 01:51:21,560
Paramount we needed to make sure that we

1795
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,719
had enough in the in the budget and the

1796
01:51:23,719 --> 01:51:26,159
time frame that we had to make sure that

1797
01:51:26,159 --> 01:51:27,920
all the early periods of History were

1798
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:29,920
really fully documented and so we

1799
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:31,880
thought well we'll bring it up to

1800
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,239
1979 um and as you mentioned a lot of

1801
01:51:34,239 --> 01:51:36,520
things started changing in the 80s so it

1802
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:39,480
made sense from a trans transformation

1803
01:51:39,480 --> 01:51:41,280
of the built environment perspective as

1804
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:43,000
well and so I would say you know one of

1805
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,840
our recommendations would be obviously

1806
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:47,520
that when you go to update this document

1807
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,360
or you do studies in the future you

1808
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,840
would start sort of at that precipice of

1809
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,639
the late 19 7s into the 1980s and look

1810
01:51:54,639 --> 01:51:57,679
forward from there so um you know like I

1811
01:51:57,679 --> 01:51:59,599
said a lot of factors go into that

1812
01:51:59,599 --> 01:52:01,599
decision and I but I do understand your

1813
01:52:01,599 --> 01:52:05,560
question and it did seem to the closer

1814
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,960
that you got to current times so the

1815
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:10,520
less information there was super in

1816
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,119
depth in those beginning years then it

1817
01:52:13,119 --> 01:52:15,000
kind of became less and less and less

1818
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,159
was that to kind of transition out of

1819
01:52:17,159 --> 01:52:19,880
the document I would say that's part

1820
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,119
partly um the reason and of course

1821
01:52:22,119 --> 01:52:24,599
there's less information about things

1822
01:52:24,599 --> 01:52:26,520
that happened more recently so there

1823
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,400
there may be news articles but there

1824
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:30,520
there wouldn't be academic studies or

1825
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,320
books or other things about more recent

1826
01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:34,440
areas of History whereas things that

1827
01:52:34,440 --> 01:52:36,239
happened earlier in the 20th you know

1828
01:52:36,239 --> 01:52:38,599
late 19th and early 20th century have

1829
01:52:38,599 --> 01:52:41,520
been more fully documented it's also you

1830
01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:43,679
know because we're providing a Nexus

1831
01:52:43,679 --> 01:52:46,119
between what happened and the built

1832
01:52:46,119 --> 01:52:48,480
environment there are fewer resources

1833
01:52:48,480 --> 01:52:50,560
from those later periods and so there

1834
01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:53,800
was less um you know less uh

1835
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,079
documentation needed to to support the

1836
01:52:56,079 --> 01:52:58,760
findings in the survey so it'll be

1837
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:01,079
interesting if if we move in that

1838
01:53:01,079 --> 01:53:02,920
direction to see what kind of stuff

1839
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:04,280
you're looking for because I can think

1840
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,040
of a lot of different resources that are

1841
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:09,639
out there but um because to me that

1842
01:53:09,639 --> 01:53:13,840
document doesn't just focus on the

1843
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,480
historical buildings or places but the

1844
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:19,880
history I would just like to suggest

1845
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:23,159
that we continue that maybe get a quote

1846
01:53:23,159 --> 01:53:25,760
and find out what it is to kind of

1847
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:28,400
document our history up to the point

1848
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:31,159
that is because to me it's like yeah we

1849
01:53:31,159 --> 01:53:33,400
went to this point but Paramount is

1850
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:36,599
nothing like Paramount was in the 70s

1851
01:53:36,599 --> 01:53:38,320
it's not the same city at all so it

1852
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,360
doesn't really yes it's our history but

1853
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:43,599
50 years is a lot of history too and we

1854
01:53:43,599 --> 01:53:47,480
don't have anything on on that so um it

1855
01:53:47,480 --> 01:53:50,079
I was just so impressed by it I guess

1856
01:53:50,079 --> 01:53:52,719
what I'm saying is I'd like to see more

1857
01:53:52,719 --> 01:53:54,199
well we would love to come back if you'd

1858
01:53:54,199 --> 01:53:55,360

1871
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:30,400
the primary steps uh to acquire property

1872
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:31,679

1873
01:54:31,679 --> 01:54:33,920
three Parcels that are in and around the

1874
01:54:33,920 --> 01:54:36,400
hay tree next to the Paramount saw

1875
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:39,400

1877
01:54:41,119 --> 01:54:43,560
refresher about what our plan is for

1879
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:48,360

tonight so if I could go to the next

1881
01:54:50,719 --> 01:54:53,560
slide so you may remember this from a

1882
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:55,400
prior presentation about a year and a

1883
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,560
half ago uh Paramount Boulevard's to

1884
01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:00,400
your right the entrance and exit to the

1885
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:02,800
Civic Center is on on top of the screen

1886
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:04,960
the Paramount saw building is on the

1887
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,480
bottom um so now that you're oriented

1888
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,040
with it you see where the number 10 is

1889
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:11,800
that's the current location of the hay

1890
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,119
tree so we're talking about all of this

1891
01:55:14,119 --> 01:55:17,119
green space right here as well as where

1892
01:55:17,119 --> 01:55:19,840
it says a Civic Center Drive believe it

1893
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,560
or not that's part of the parcels that

1894
01:55:22,560 --> 01:55:24,679
the the three Parcels that we are

1895
01:55:24,679 --> 01:55:27,079
discussing tonight so the plan that was

1896
01:55:27,079 --> 01:55:29,199
presented to you the conceptual plan

1897
01:55:29,199 --> 01:55:31,119
that what we would do with this park

1898
01:55:31,119 --> 01:55:33,800
would include a trellis that would come

1899
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:35,760
off of the existing building the

1900
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:39,239
Paramount ASA building there along with

1901
01:55:39,239 --> 01:55:42,800
a a deck for eating um and that would be

1902
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,719
for Park goers for anybody uh from the

1903
01:55:45,719 --> 01:55:48,760
public that would want to come and enjoy

1904
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:51,440
a meal there additionally um you see

1905
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:52,880
where the number

1906
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:54,599
five is that's where there would be a

1907
01:55:54,599 --> 01:55:57,000
permanent stage that would be set up for

1908
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:59,880
musical events and uh different things

1909
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:03,400
of of that nature uh we would also have

1910
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:05,760
um lighting you can see the over

1911
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:08,840
overhead lights as well as uh different

1912
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:12,000
types of signage throughout um

1913
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:13,760
throughout the areas so if you can go to

1914
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,320
the next slide this kind of shows you a

1915
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:18,000
street view of what it would look like

1916
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,800
again the hay tree to the right um this

1917
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,360
is just again something that we

1918
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:23,960
presented to you a year and a half two

1919
01:56:23,960 --> 01:56:27,400
years ago showing as a possibility of

1920
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:30,719
what could be a built here so with that

1921
01:56:30,719 --> 01:56:33,199
vision in mind I'll now turn it over to

1922
01:56:33,199 --> 01:56:35,719

to it it's not just one thing um the

1941
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:30,679
public purpose and use would be to

1942
01:57:30,679 --> 01:57:34,199
preserve a historic resource to improve

1943
01:57:34,199 --> 01:57:36,599

historic resources one of the historic

1948
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,480
resources that is near and dear to the

01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:55,079
city is the hay tree um here on on the

1950
01:57:55,079 --> 01:57:58,440
subject property um the hay tree is more

1951
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:01,400

1953
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:08,320

1955
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:13,599
um of the tree

1956
01:58:13,599 --> 01:58:16,360
itself the proposed acquisition seeks to

1957
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,360
acquire the underlying fee interest in

1958
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:20,880
the land which will give the city the

1959
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:23,320
ability to make improvements to the

1960
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:25,840

air purifier program and this includes

2083
02:03:48,599 --> 02:03:50,040
increasing the dollar amount of the

2084
02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:52,800

2090
02:04:05,480 --> 02:04:08,719
purifier and filter rebate program a

2091
02:04:08,719 --> 02:04:11,960
mouthful it it's been in existence since

2092
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:15,559
2018 and it was a response to um just

2093
02:04:15,559 --> 02:04:17,400
the realization that you know the air

2094
02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:19,159
isn't great in this region um we're

2095
02:04:19,159 --> 02:04:21,280
surrounded by freeways as as you know we

2096
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:23,320
we did not not put the freeways where

2097
02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:25,559
they are but they're there we're very

2098
02:04:25,559 --> 02:04:27,840
close to the ports ports of Los Angeles

2099
02:04:27,840 --> 02:04:32,199
ports the port of um of Long Beach and U

2100
02:04:32,199 --> 02:04:34,239
you know those tons of trucks going

2101
02:04:34,239 --> 02:04:35,800
north and south on the 710 and the

2102
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:39,280
surrounding freeways so the um so to

2103
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:42,079
deal with the the air to help folks in

2104
02:04:42,079 --> 02:04:44,599
their in their homes the city council at

2105
02:04:44,599 --> 02:04:46,719
the time adopted this program giving

2106
02:04:46,719 --> 02:04:49,920
rebates for um home air purifier

2107
02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:52,480
systems um so this is still on the books

2108
02:04:52,480 --> 02:04:54,599
the same amount from that time so it's

2109
02:04:54,599 --> 02:04:57,800
been uh six years $100 for air purifiers

2110
02:04:57,800 --> 02:04:58,800
and

2111
02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:03,040
$50 for filters and the way the programs

2112
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:06,040
set up you can um somebody who wants a

2113
02:05:06,040 --> 02:05:08,320
rebate for one of these cannot mix them

2114
02:05:08,320 --> 02:05:11,639
it's either one or the other um pretty

2115
02:05:11,639 --> 02:05:14,719
pretty strict um we've had a couple

2116
02:05:14,719 --> 02:05:17,040
instances where we uh kind of bended the

2117
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:18,079
rules a little bit but we want to

2118
02:05:18,079 --> 02:05:20,760
formally you know make make it the the

2119
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:22,880
law of the land that you can

2120
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:26,040
uh you you can mix these two so what's

2121
02:05:26,040 --> 02:05:27,880
an air purifier what's eligible TR true

2122
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:30,000
hea they have to be qualified uh true

2123
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:32,679
HEPA a purifier so capturing the the

2124
02:05:32,679 --> 02:05:36,149
bulk of the micro

2125
02:05:36,159 --> 02:05:39,920
particles and you could see through this

2126
02:05:39,920 --> 02:05:42,320
chart that the expenditures have have

2127
02:05:42,320 --> 02:05:44,159
gone down there was quite a bit of

2128
02:05:44,159 --> 02:05:46,880
interest to start and as we started with

2129
02:05:46,880 --> 02:05:49,520
$10,000 we got it down to 5,000 and then

2130
02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:53,000
the present $2,500 allocation per per

2131
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:55,719
year um there's we're still not spending

2132
02:05:55,719 --> 02:05:57,679
that amount and that's despite um

2133
02:05:57,679 --> 02:05:59,440
ongoing Outreach we've been doing a lot

2134
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:01,840
of Outreach Through The Years uh

2135
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,679
periodic social media posts two to three

2136
02:06:03,679 --> 02:06:06,960
times a year in recent months the more

2137
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:09,320
recent months we've kind of H held back

2138
02:06:09,320 --> 02:06:10,840
a little bit just knowing that we were

2139
02:06:10,840 --> 02:06:12,559
going to bring this this to you we're

2140
02:06:12,559 --> 02:06:14,119
anticipating changing the grant amount

2141
02:06:14,119 --> 02:06:15,400
so we didn't want to advertise one thing

2142
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:17,239
and and change it to something

2143
02:06:17,239 --> 02:06:20,639
else but we since 2018 we've had plenty

2144
02:06:20,639 --> 02:06:22,520
of Outreach City web ite the Paramount

2145
02:06:22,520 --> 02:06:23,719
environment website there's a little

2146
02:06:23,719 --> 02:06:26,800
excerpt from it um and and Flyers Flyers

2147
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:29,639
at City events and

2148
02:06:29,639 --> 02:06:32,079
Facilities so what we're looking at is

2149
02:06:32,079 --> 02:06:34,880
um with the you know inflation the costs

2150
02:06:34,880 --> 02:06:38,199
are rising so it' be helpful to to um

2151
02:06:38,199 --> 02:06:41,079
help put in more money um so increasing

2152
02:06:41,079 --> 02:06:45,239
the current $100 rebate amount by $50

2153
02:06:45,239 --> 02:06:48,639
for air purifiers so up to

2154
02:06:48,639 --> 02:06:52,320
150 adding 50 to 100 um and then for air

2155
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:55,320
filters um we have a current $50 rebate

2156
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:57,920
adding another $25 to bring it to to

2157
02:06:57,920 --> 02:07:00,159
$75 then allowing a combination of the

2158
02:07:00,159 --> 02:07:02,119
two up to

2159
02:07:02,119 --> 02:07:05,440
$200 um and then we've had a few

2160
02:07:05,440 --> 02:07:09,280
instances where the um you know maybe

2161
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:10,480
we're all doing this we're a little slow

2162
02:07:10,480 --> 02:07:12,960
on on bringing our our receipts to uh

2163
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:15,880
you know for whatever um whatever type

2164
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,599
of program uh folks are are taking their

2165
02:07:18,599 --> 02:07:20,159
time and and they were they became

2166
02:07:20,159 --> 02:07:21,880
ineligible for waiting too long so just

2167
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:23,520
to help them out just add add a little

2168
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:25,760
more more time so going from 30 days to

2169
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:27,159
to 90 days for

2170
02:07:27,159 --> 02:07:28,840
eligibility and just another little

2171
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:31,679
cleanup is to exclude gift cards um it's

2172
02:07:31,679 --> 02:07:34,440
it's hard to to track the uh oftentimes

2173
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:35,840
it's hard to track the the payment of

2174
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:38,040
gift cards toward um legitimate air

2175
02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:39,520
purifier so just to kind of clean that

2176
02:07:39,520 --> 02:07:42,239
up and that's really it um we're

2177
02:07:42,239 --> 02:07:44,119

changes to education military Banner

2252
02:10:25,880 --> 02:10:27,760
programs during the city's ad hoc

2253
02:10:27,760 --> 02:10:29,679
meetings it was proposed to display the

2254
02:10:29,679 --> 02:10:31,559
education banners year round closer to

2255
02:10:31,559 --> 02:10:33,920
our local schools to better motivate our

2256
02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:35,199
Paramount Unified School District

2257
02:10:35,199 --> 02:10:37,520
students the initial proposed location

2258
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,880
for the education banners was on the

2259
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:41,800
utility pool surrounding paramont High

2260
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,079
School however after conducting an

2261
02:10:44,079 --> 02:10:45,920
inventory it was determined that there

2262
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:47,679
was not enough utility polls directly

2263
02:10:47,679 --> 02:10:49,719
adjacent to paramont high school to

2264
02:10:49,719 --> 02:10:51,320
accommodate the number of Education

2265
02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:54,360
banners intended for display the second

2266
02:10:54,360 --> 02:10:56,840
option that was proposed was to swap the

2267
02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:58,719
military banners and the education

2268
02:10:58,719 --> 02:11:01,159

2269
02:11:01,159 --> 02:11:03,880
moved from Alandra Boulevard to paramont

2270
02:11:03,880 --> 02:11:06,040
Boulevard and the boulevard of Heroes

2271
02:11:06,040 --> 02:11:07,920
was shift from paramont Boulevard to

2272
02:11:07,920 --> 02:11:10,920
alra Boulevard if approved by city

2273
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:12,559

for the military Banner program and

2311
02:12:43,559 --> 02:12:45,280

2324
02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:14,079

with the school

2333
02:13:32,239 --> 02:13:34,559
district it is recommended that the city

2334
02:13:34,559 --> 02:13:36,679
council approve the proposed education

2335
02:13:36,679 --> 02:13:39,320
military Banner location changes and

02:13:42,599 --> 02:13:44,440
accordingly and that concludes my

2339
02:13:44,440 --> 02:13:46,000
presentation I'll happy to answer any

2340
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:47,960
questions are there any comments from my

2341
02:13:47,960 --> 02:13:49,920
colleagues I just have one question yes

2342
02:13:49,920 --> 02:13:51,719
you know there's 28 mil

2343
02:13:51,719 --> 02:13:53,400
there's no way that we can build it

2344
02:13:53,400 --> 02:13:56,239
around our our statues out here like

2345
02:13:56,239 --> 02:13:57,440
where we have the

2346
02:13:57,440 --> 02:14:01,159
military um right here outside of par

2347
02:14:01,159 --> 02:14:03,119
the memori that the memorial is there

2348
02:14:03,119 --> 02:14:05,040
any way that we can you know build it

2349
02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:08,480
around our memorials to have

2350
02:14:08,480 --> 02:14:11,040
their I don't know at Adriana I don't

2351
02:14:11,040 --> 02:14:12,679
think we have utility pools there

2352
02:14:12,679 --> 02:14:15,520
correct we don't that we will be able to

2353
02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:16,679
we don't have any street lights out

2354
02:14:16,679 --> 02:14:18,760
there no we do have some street lights

2355
02:14:18,760 --> 02:14:20,760
but probably not sufficient but not

2356
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:23,320
enough and then we have we propose that

2357
02:14:23,320 --> 02:14:25,400
yeah but also we have some banners here

2358
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:27,559
for schools right for students correct

2359
02:14:27,559 --> 02:14:29,119
Council you recall here at the Civic

2360
02:14:29,119 --> 02:14:32,079
Center we have the top five students the

2361
02:14:32,079 --> 02:14:33,599
volunteer students and we also have the

2362
02:14:33,599 --> 02:14:36,840
momentum students that we keep right but

2363
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:38,559
just a reminder we do go into our

2364
02:14:38,559 --> 02:14:41,040
Christmas season and the goal with the

2365
02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:43,480
military banners is that they stay

2366
02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:46,559
obviously up the entire year so we will

2367
02:14:46,559 --> 02:14:48,480
be bringing them down and obviously

2368
02:14:48,480 --> 02:14:50,679
bringing them back up if that would be a

2369
02:14:50,679 --> 02:14:51,719
discussion

2370

are there any comments from my

2529
02:21:11,760 --> 02:21:14,600

02:21:14,600 --> 02:21:16,319
all right Miss city clerk may I have a

2531
02:21:16,319 --> 02:21:19,200
roll call please council member aguo yes

2532
02:21:19,200 --> 02:21:22,200
council member OS Council mqu Stallings

2533
02:21:22,200 --> 02:21:24,960
vice mayor lemons yeah mayor delado Dio

2534
02:21:24,960 --> 02:21:27,840
yes the motion carries next we have an

2535
02:21:27,840 --> 02:21:30,160
award of contract for the median

2536
02:21:30,160 --> 02:21:33,240
enhancements project on AER Boulevard

2537
02:21:33,240 --> 02:21:36,640
and Orange Avenue city project

2538
02:21:36,640 --> 02:21:39,439
9435 Mr Mareno may we please have the

2539
02:21:39,439 --> 02:21:41,800
report yes Madam mayor this last item on

2540
02:21:41,800 --> 02:21:43,479
the agenda has to do with our meeting

2541
02:21:43,479 --> 02:21:45,800
enhancements the athetics subcommittee

2542
02:21:45,800 --> 02:21:48,319
um directed us to extend reclaim water

2543
02:21:48,319 --> 02:21:49,600
lines to medians where it's

2544
02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:52,280
cost-effective and makes sense this will

2545
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:54,800
allow us to plant grass which tends to

2546
02:21:54,800 --> 02:21:56,920
grow better and is easier to maintain

2547
02:21:56,920 --> 02:21:58,960
than drought tolerant plants so we're

2548
02:21:58,960 --> 02:22:01,319
requesting your approval of this and

2549
02:22:01,319 --> 02:22:03,160
I'll turn it back over to our Public

2550
02:22:03,160 --> 02:22:05,040

02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:09,200
how much it's going to cost Adriana

2553
02:22:09,200 --> 02:22:12,000
thank you John Madame mayor members of

2554
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:14,319
the council by way of background one of

2555
02:22:14,319 --> 02:22:16,359
the city priorities is to enhance the

2556
02:22:16,359 --> 02:22:18,280
Aesthetics of its medians along our

2557
02:22:18,280 --> 02:22:21,080
arterial streets staff work closely with

2558
02:22:21,080 --> 02:22:22,960
the landscape ad hoc committee to

2559
02:22:22,960 --> 02:22:25,600
identify a landscaping pallet and

2560
02:22:25,600 --> 02:22:27,920
aesthetic standards for the medians This

2561
02:22:27,920 --> 02:22:29,520
was later reviewed and approved by the

2562
02:22:29,520 --> 02:22:31,800
city council through that process

2563
02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:33,960
Direction was given to convert existing

2564
02:22:33,960 --> 02:22:36,600
irrigation lines wherever possible to

2565
02:22:36,600 --> 02:22:38,840
reclaim water irrigation also known as

2566
02:22:38,840 --> 02:22:41,520
the purple pipe system so that we can

2567
02:22:41,520 --> 02:22:44,640
support grass growth and flower

2568
02:22:44,640 --> 02:22:47,080
plantings here's an example of a prior

2569
02:22:47,080 --> 02:22:49,479
reclaimed waterline conversion this is

2570
02:22:49,479 --> 02:22:52,399
of course Lakewood p north of Somerset

2571
02:22:52,399 --> 02:22:55,160
as you can see we transfor transform the

2572
02:22:55,160 --> 02:22:57,160
Aesthetics in this area by simply

2573
02:22:57,160 --> 02:22:59,240
converting the irrigation from portable

2574
02:22:59,240 --> 02:23:02,240
water to reclaim water uh this is by the

2575
02:23:02,240 --> 02:23:03,880
way the only way we can have grass on

2576
02:23:03,880 --> 02:23:05,880
our medians given the State wide water

2577
02:23:05,880 --> 02:23:09,560
conservation mandates that we must

2578
02:23:09,560 --> 02:23:12,319
follow converting from portable water to

2579
02:23:12,319 --> 02:23:14,920
reclaim has its challenges we must look

2580
02:23:14,920 --> 02:23:17,319
at our existing reclaim water lines and

2581
02:23:17,319 --> 02:23:19,760
determine what areas are more

2582
02:23:19,760 --> 02:23:22,319
technically feasible for this type of

2583
02:23:22,319 --> 02:23:24,359
this type of conversion given the

2584
02:23:24,359 --> 02:23:26,880
distance to existing connections the

2585
02:23:26,880 --> 02:23:29,080
medians identified here are those that

2586
02:23:29,080 --> 02:23:31,359
met the criteria and could be converted

2587
02:23:31,359 --> 02:23:33,880
to a reclaim water system the first

2588
02:23:33,880 --> 02:23:36,479
location is the median on rosr Avenue

02:23:36,479 --> 02:23:38,560

2710
02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:52,520
