this 218 00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:51,568 year in District seven And 219 00:05:51,568 --> 00:05:54,568 the reason behind that for 220 00:05:55,405 --> 00:05:56,106 folks who might be curious is 221 00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:56,772 because Miramar Community Park 222 00:05:56,772 --> 00:05:59,772 is undergoing its Phase two 223 00:06:00,743 --> 00:06:01,544 upgrades and renovations And so 224 00:06:01,544 --> 00:06:04,544 we think my colleague from 225 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:05,715 District seven as they'll be 226 00:06:05,715 --> 00:06:06,416 hosting the event this year 227 00:06:06,416

It also helps to recognize 231 00:06:14,223 --> 00:06:14,857 World Refugee Day an 232 00:06:14,857 --> 00:06:15,491 international day to honor 233 00:06:15,491 --> 00:06:16,192 the resilience of

00:06:20,830 --> 00:06:23,830 the largest populations for Lao 238 00:06:24,567 --> 00:06:25,268 Americans and we are a more 239 00:06:25,268 --> 00:06:26,200 stronger and vibrant, vibrant 240 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,805 because of their culture, their 241 00:06:28,805 --> 00:06:29,371 history and the traditions that 242 00:06:29,371 --> 00:06:30,600 they've brought here. 243 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,276 I think often when we talk 244 00:06:33,276 --> 00:06:33,877 about the history of 245 00:06:33,877 --> 00:06:34,576 the Vietnam War, one of 246 00:06:34,576 --> 00:06:37,576 the discussions that we often 247 00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:39,382 don't touch upon is 248 00:06:39,382 --> 00:06:40,820 the forgotten war that impacted 249 00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:42,820 several neighboring

00:24:46,706 --> 00:24:47,139 don't quite quite know how to 868 00:24:47,139 --> 00:24:47,707 speak on this. 869 00:24:47,707 --> 00:24:48,307 I'm really coming from 870 00:24:48,307 --> 00:24:50,542

874 00:24:56,449 --> 00:25:00,490 the City attorney so very very 875 00:25:00,887 --> 00:25:01,488 much Yet I know that things can 876 00:25:01,488 --> 00:25:02,155 be ministerial and very 877 00:25:02,155 --> 00:25:05,155 subjective often in life but 878 00:25:06,493 --> 00:25:06,860 I'm I just feel not good about 879 00:25:06,860 --> 00:25:07,761 this item. 880 00:25:07,761 --> 00:25:11,361 I just think it's almost a 881 00:25:11,364 --> 00:25:12,131 conflict of interest to bring 882 00:25:12,131 --> 00:25:16,200 it in as an agenda item And 883 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:16,803 then we have the other conflict 884 00:25:16,803 --> 00:25:17,570 of interest is to really allow 885 00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:20,570 these attorneys to handle this 886 00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:26,379 and PRESIDENT LaCava I love a 887 00:25:26,379 --> 00:25:27,147 lawyer. 888 00:25:27,147 --> 00:25:30,717 It's it's some things I don't 889 00:25:30,717 --> 00:25:31,318 like about it but in general 890 00:25:31,318 --> 00:25:33,718 it's a wonderful place. 891 00:25:35,922 --> 00:25:36,556 And so this is involving whole 892 00:25:36,556 --> 00:25:39,556 situation was so high and 893 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,562 they're wanting to become a new 894 00:25:41,562 --> 00:25:41,995 city and it's going to be a 895 00:25:41,995 --> 00:25:43,995 long process. 896 00:25:45,898 --> 00:25:46,666 So I just don't feel good about 897 00:25:46,666 --> 00:25:49,666 them being represented in other 898 00:25:50,370 --> 00:25:51,238 cases for the city and then 899 00:25:51,238 --> 00:25:54,838 going sort of with this other 900 00:25:55,308 --> 00:25:58,908 firm that really is against us. 901 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,981 So I just wish I understood I 902 00:26:00,981 --> 00:26:04,251 tried to read all the back up. 903 00:26:04,251 --> 00:26:04,918 It was late and I just don't 904 00:26:04,918 --> 00:26:05,218 understand risk not involved 905 00:26:05,218 --> 00:26:07,218 here. 906 00:26:09,489 --> 00:26:10,223 I think there is a risk and and 907 00:26:10,223 --> 00:26:13,823 these things might just come up 908 00:26:14,628 --> 00:26:15,295 to really haunt So make sure 909 00:26:15,295 --> 00:26:15,596 that you really want to do 910 00:26:15,596 --> 00:26:17,596 this. 911 00:26:19,466 --> 00:26:20,133 I would go on the no side but I 912 00:26:20,133 --> 00:26:20,634 respect all of you

That concludes public testimony 917 00:26:28,976 --> 00:26:29,376 on item 615. 918 00:26:29,376 --> 00:26:29,977 All right. 919 00:26:29,977 --> 00:26:32,377 Thank you, Deputy Clerk. 920 00:26:34,810 --> 00:26:34,714 With that we'll turn over to 921 00:26:34,714 --> 00:26:35,415 the council for questions. 922 00:26:35,415 --> 00:26:35,816 Entertain a motion not seen in 923 00:26:35,816 --> 00:26:37,816 the lights. 924 00:26:38,852 --> 00:26:39,753 I'll go ahead and move 925 00:26:39,753 --> 00:26:42,753 the staff recommendation and I 926 00:26:43,422 --> 00:26:43,724 get a second. 927 00:26:43,724 --> 00:26:44,591 Okay. 928 00:26:44,591 --> 00:26:47,527 We have a second by council 929 00:26:47,527 --> 00:26:47,961 member Isla Rivera and Council 930 00:26:47,961 --> 00:26:48,395 member Campo. 931 00:26:48,395 --> 00:26:49,262 >> Thank you. 932 00:26:49,262 --> 00:26:50,131 Just a quick question for MR. 933 00:26:50,131 --> 00:26:52,131 Seats. 934 00:26:55,202 --> 00:26:55,836 So it's my understanding that 935 00:26:55,836 --> 00:26:56,570 the particular law firm in 936 00:26:56,570 --> 00:26:57,303 question they're kind of caught 937 00:26:57,303 --> 00:27:00,274 between a rock and a hard place 938 00:27:00,274 --> 00:27:00,874 because there the general 939 00:27:00,874 --> 00:27:01,575 counsel for Lascaux but 940 00:27:01,575 --> 00:27:01,875 represent us in two particular 941 00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:03,875 cases. 942 00:27:05,245 --> 00:27:05,947 So it seems to me that if we 943 00:27:05,947 --> 00:27:06,547 didn't waive or didn't have a 944 00:27:06,547 --> 00:27:08,947 waiver of the potential 945 00:27:10,684 --> 00:27:11,485 conflict of interest, we'd lose 946 00:27:11,485 --> 00:27:13,187 them as a lawyer, not laugh, go 947 00:27:13,187 --> 00:27:13,887 lose them as a lawyer in 948 00:27:13,887 --> 00:27:16,287 the potential proceedings that 949 00:27:19,526 --> 00:27:20,294 it might come. 950 00:27:20,294 --> 00:27:21,280 I think well, I believe, you 951 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,931 know, deference on the law firm 952 00:27:23,931 --> 00:27:24,464 but that is a potential outcome 953 00:27:24,464 --> 00:27:26,464 that we understood. 954 00:27:27,534 --> 00:27:28,168 Well, it's part of your 955 00:27:28,168 --> 00:27:28,802 comments earlier were that 956 00:27:28,802 --> 00:27:29,403 there's nothing you don't 957 00:27:29,403 --> 00:27:31,803 foresee any detriment to 958 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:33,874 the city. 959 00:27:33,874 --> 00:27:34,541 It seems to me that there would 960 00:27:34,541 --> 00:27:35,275 be a detriment to the city. 961 00:27:35,275 --> 00:27:38,212 Is it We've hired a law firm to 962 00:27:38,212 --> 00:27:39,120 represent us in two cases and 963 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,612 then well after the fact it 964 00:27:43,617 --> 00:27:44,218 turns out that they're 965 00:27:44,218 --> 00:27:44,785 representing a potential 966 00:27:44,785 --> 00:27:45,486 opposing party to us. 967 00:27:45,486 --> 00:27:47,921 There would be no there would 968 00:27:47,921 --> 00:27:48,656 be no detriment if we granted 969 00:27:48,656 --> 00:27:51,656 the waiver or representation in 970 00:27:52,493 --> 00:27:53,193 either matter would or in 971 00:27:53,193 --> 00:27:53,727 the existing matter would not 972 00:27:53,727 --> 00:27:54,228 be impacted by their 973 00:27:54,228 --> 00:27:56,228 representation of 974 00:27:57,531 --> 00:27:57,931 the anticipated new matter. 975 00:27:57,931 --> 00:27:58,232 Understood. 976 00:27:58,232 --> 00:27:58,832 Okay. 977 00:27:58,832 --> 00:28:01,232
