[0:01]
understanding that each
[0:03]
neighborhood kind of was
[0:04]
responsible for the design of
[0:07]
their own lamps. In order to
[0:10]
represent the neighborhood. So
[0:11]
there's an enormous diversity of
[0:14]
style and artisanal qualities to
[0:17]
all of these. That's right.
[0:18]
That's right. And what we have
[0:20]
now is a unique collection of
[0:21]
over 400 different designs and
[0:26]
that's spread throughout the
[0:28]
470mi■!S of the city, right. And
[0:30]
it pretty much, as you said,
[0:31]
kind of grew up with the city,
[0:34]
different neighborhoods as they
[0:35]
would rise and they would want
[0:36]
street lights. They would design
[0:37]
their own. So you have Wilshire
[0:39]
specials, you would have things
[0:40]
like the Broadway special,
[0:41]
Hollywood Special, Van Nuys
[0:44]
Special. So there's just
[0:45]
different ones that the
[0:47]
neighborhoods would kind of
[0:47]
adopt. And say, this is the one
[0:49]
that we wanted. I think they
[0:50]
could legitimately be called Art
[0:53]
. I mean, some of them have
[0:54]
turned into art pieces.
[0:55]
Obviously. I think most people
[0:57]
know urban light, which is in
[0:58]
front of LACMA. Are there other
[1:00]
art installations that have been
[1:03]
done with former practical
[1:06]
lights that are now not
[1:07]
practical, but still worth our
[1:09]
attention? Yes Sheila Klein's
[1:11]
for Monica. That actually shows
[1:13]
the progression time,
[1:14]
progression of all the different
[1:15]
street lights. With all of the
[1:22]
diversity of street lamps to
[1:24]
choose from, what is as the
[1:27]
executive director, your
[1:28]
favorite? Well, if you're going
[1:30]
to put me on the spot like that,
[1:31]
I would say the Wilshire Special
[1:35]
that we have is an amazing
[1:37]
piece. Again, just because kind
[1:39]
of hearkens back to that origin
[1:40]
of us. And it's huge. You would
[1:45]
never expect we have them in the
[1:46]
field right now. You would never
[1:48]
expect that while you're walking
[1:49]
on a sidewalk, there's this five
[1:51]
foot tall you know, two foot
[1:54]
wide like gargantuan streetlight
[1:56]
. When you when you have it next
[1:58]
to you, it's that big, right?
[2:00]
But when it's up there, it just
[2:01]
looks like any other street
[2:03]
light. Not to say nondescript,
[2:03]
but, you know, like, unassuming,
[2:05]
kind of light that has a great
[2:07]
history. One of the things that
[2:17]
most people don't know about the
[2:18]
beer, street lighting. We're one
[2:20]
of the largest municipal
[2:21]
deployments of EV chargers on
[2:23]
the right of way. I was going to
[2:25]
ask you so about about 700, will
[2:27]
we expect to have about 900 by
[2:29]
the end of this fiscal year? And
[2:30]
those are great opportunities
[2:33]
for us to ensure that we are
[2:35]
approaching transportation
[2:37]
electrification in an equitable
[2:39]
way. And is it being rolled out
[2:41]
in certain neighborhoods as you
[2:44]
said, you were looking for an
[2:45]
equitable solution to something
[2:46]
like this, when EV chargers may
[2:48]
not be able to go into a
[2:50]
neighborhood that had the
[2:52]
resources for it, so is it
[2:54]
specific? We're looking for
[2:55]
existing markets and hoping to
[2:57]
create emerging markets. What I
[2:59]
mean by that is we're going to
[3:00]
places where there have been
[3:01]
requests, high demand, where
[3:03]
we've placed chargers, we're
[3:04]
looking at our analytics and
[3:06]
seeing should we place another
[3:07]
one close by right. In order for
[3:08]
people to have more usage. But
[3:10]
we're also trying to get into
[3:11]
places that we don't necessarily
[3:14]
see. What I would say the
[3:17]
private sector. So we're trying
[3:18]
to go into places like Hyde
[3:22]
Park, right? Like, um, South LA,
[3:25]
like the Valley, right? So get
[3:28]
away from just what
[3:30]
traditionally people would
[3:31]
think. That is not just a
[3:33]
privilege to have. That's
[3:34]
something that we should all
[3:35]
have. Are we ahead of the game
[3:41]
when it comes to technology and
[3:43]
advancements? For something like
[3:45]
the Bureau of Street Lighting or
[3:47]
are we looking to other cities
[3:48]
to see how they are doing it and
[3:50]
then following suit? When you
[3:51]
look at the world as a whole,
[3:54]
there's obviously going to be
[3:55]
some places that might do things
[3:57]
better here or there. And
[3:58]
different types of technology on
[4:01]
average, though, I'd say LA is
[4:02]
on on the cutting edge, the
[4:04]
further further ahead than the
[4:06]
pack. And I'll say this for a
[4:07]
couple of things. There's a
[4:09]
reason why we became one of the
[4:10]
first 5G cities in America. And
[4:12]
that's because we started
[4:13]
attaching telecom equipment to
[4:14]
our street lights. Right? And so
[4:16]
we made something that was
[4:18]
originally a single use. Now,
[4:20]
granted, that single use was
[4:21]
transformative. We lit public
[4:23]
spaces and made it so people can
[4:26]
congregate, have commerce, made
[4:27]
it feel safer right? But the
[4:29]
service was the street light.
[4:31]
Now we're adding other things
[4:32]
that not only reduce the cost of
[4:35]
infrastructure itself, but make
[4:37]
it so that there's new services
[4:38]
that can go on to the city, like
[4:41]
5G connectivity. Right So LA
[4:43]
became one of the first 5G
[4:44]
cities in America back in 20, I
[4:45]
believe 2017, 2018. And that's
[4:49]
because we started working
[4:50]
together with industry
[4:52]
practitioners to see what else
[4:54]
we could do. Very very cool. All
[5:03]
right. So you've worked with the
[5:04]
City for a long time. I mean,
[5:06]
you've worked in the mayor's
[5:08]
office, you know, through a
[5:08]
couple of tenures of different
[5:10]
mayors. And now now you're here
[5:11]
and you've been here. What was
[5:12]
the biggest surprise coming into
[5:15]
this bureau when you looked
[5:17]
around and saw what your
[5:19]
opportunities were and what your
[5:20]
challenges were, the scope of
[5:22]
the Bureau, the opportunities in
[5:24]
the Bureau, the history, the fun
[5:28]
, the possibility. What was it
[5:30]
that you really went, oh, wow,
[5:33]
this is cool. What what? I was
[5:35]
most impressed with was the
[5:39]
people when I came in here
[5:41]
because of their willingness to
[5:43]
actually try new things and
[5:45]
because of the people, we have
[5:48]
tremendous potential. Right So
[5:50]
when we're talking about these
[5:52]
new technologies, these, um,
[5:55]
more efficient ways to light the
[5:58]
streets, we're we're talking
[5:59]
about connectivity with telecom
[6:01]
partners. We're talking about
[6:04]
dynamic lighting, we're talking
[6:06]
about air quality sensors that
[6:07]
can help inform a policymakers
[6:11]
about what's going on in their
[6:13]
neighborhoods right now. Right.
[6:14]
So the people actually led to
[6:17]
some of these progressions,
[6:19]
right? These new things and
[6:21]
these opportunities that we have
[6:22]
and so the Bureau itself, with
[6:25]
what it has, again, a quarter of
[6:27]
a million streetlights, an
[6:29]
electrical system, this
[6:30]
penultimate electrical system
[6:31]
that when we're thinking about
[6:32]
the future of the city is going
[6:35]
to empower a lot of the new
[6:37]
services that we do now, we
[6:38]
actually see ourselves now more
[6:39]
of a platform. Right? So yes, we
[6:41]
have the street light, but
[6:44]
there's many different things
[6:45]
that you can attach to it.
[6:47]
Right? There's many different
[6:48]
services that you can kind of,
[6:49]
uh, create from, from that point
[6:54]
there where, where we have a
[6:55]
very valuable piece of real
[6:58]
estate on the public right of
[6:59]
way that has energy. Well,
[7:01]
people want to learn more about
[7:03]
the 100th anniversary or just
[7:05]
about how to call in if they
[7:06]
need some help with the lighting
[7:08]
on their streets or just have
[7:09]
any questions. What's the best
[7:11]
way for people to get in touch?
[7:12]
The best way for people to get
[7:14]
in touch? Well, two things
[7:15]
right. If there's any issues
[7:16]
that you have with Street
[7:18]
lighting, please log your
[7:19]
service requests with mile 311
[7:22]
or call 311 itself for all other
[7:24]
things. And if you're
[7:25]
inquisitive about our history,
[7:26]
please visit LA lights Dot la
[7:28]
City.org. Thank you so much.
[7:32]
This is really, really fun. And
[7:34]
that's a wrap on this LA
[7:36]
currents.
[8:22]
Hello everyone. I'm Natalia
[8:24]
Bilbao and I'm here at the
[8:25]
historic Watts Towers Arts
[8:27]
Center campus. A place that much
[8:28]
like Los Angeles itself, stands
[8:31]
as a testament to creativity,
[8:33]
resilience, and community.
[8:34]
Welcome to LA. This week. More
[8:45]
than six decades ago, Doctor
[8:46]
Martin Luther King Jr stood
[8:48]
before a nation at the March on
[8:50]
Washington and shared a dream,
[8:52]
one rooted in justice, equality
[8:53]
and hope. This week in South Los
[8:56]
Angeles, that dream continued to
[8:57]
echo through the streets, as
[8:59]
Mayor Karen Bass, City Council
[9:00]
members and thousands of
[9:02]
Angelenos came together to honor
[9:03]
Doctor King's legacy and to
[9:06]
reaffirm a commitment to keep
[9:07]
his vision alive for future
[9:09]
generations.
[9:19]
This is a time for us to
[9:21]
certainly celebrate the life and
[9:22]
legacy of Doctor Martin Luther
[9:24]
King, and we're reminded every
[9:26]
day about the values the
[9:28]
principles that he died. And he
[9:30]
fought for. We celebrate MLK
[9:31]
every year here in Los Angeles,
[9:33]
but this year is special because
[9:34]
we're in a fight and we're
[9:36]
fighting over all the things
[9:37]
that Martin Luther King stood
[9:39]
for. So freedom to work and
[9:40]
freedom to be in your home and
[9:43]
freedom to walk the streets as a
[9:43]
human being, to not be targeted
[9:45]
because of how you talk or how
[9:47]
you look. Those are things that
[9:49]
Doctor King left to us, that we
[9:51]
got to fight to make sure we
[9:52]
leave to the next generation.
[9:55]
I've never been. So it's my
[9:57]
first time Martin Luther King is
[9:59]
kind of cool because he helped
[10:01]
black people and white people
[10:02]
come together as one. So it's
[10:04]
kind of cool to see that this
[10:05]
day means a lot. You know, I
[10:07]
think there's an effort being
[10:09]
done to erase days like this.
[10:12]
And I think it's important to
[10:13]
show up to events like this. So
[10:14]
it can't be erased. We're all
[10:19]
equal and we're all trying to
[10:20]
enjoy the day. Sunny day with
[10:24]
MLK. It's important.
[10:26]
Especialmente en Los tiempos.
[10:28]
Estamos viviendo la division. Si
[10:32]
creado queremos siga escuchando
[10:34]
esta voz de apoyo para la gente
[10:37]
de color. Q ha estado luchando
[10:40]
por décadas y creemos. Qué es
[10:42]
importante continua para Los Los
[10:44]
vienen la generacion Q sigue?
[10:46]
There's so much divide and hate
[10:49]
today and all he preached about
[10:50]
was love and union. We're all
[10:52]
humans. We're all here on this
[10:55]
planet at the same time, in the
[10:56]
same life. It's important that
[11:00]
we all work together to bring a
[11:02]
sense of peace. Life is hard
[11:04]
enough. And if we lean on each
[11:05]
other, we can make it so much
[11:07]
easier. When we begin to talk
[11:11]
about what we're faced with in
[11:13]
the headlines, with immigration
[11:14]
rights and everything like that
[11:16]
at the epicenter of all the
[11:18]
Doctor King's advocacies were
[11:19]
advancing full citizenship
[11:21]
rights. We have the right to
[11:24]
protest via the Constitution.
[11:25]
And so when we disagree with
[11:28]
government, then we can
[11:29]
peacefully protest. And that was
[11:30]
the foundation of his work. I
[11:32]
think it's important that people
[11:34]
be able to look back and kind of
[11:36]
see how we were able to move
[11:38]
without causing a lot of
[11:39]
hostility and violence and still
[11:41]
get our point across and move us
[11:42]
to where we are now. He had no
[11:50]
fear. He had courage. And that
[11:52]
is a role model for all of us,
[11:55]
regardless of our ethnicities,
[11:56]
to attack racism in whatever
[11:59]
form it is. That's why I believe
[12:01]
that this holiday is very
[12:02]
important, especially now with
[12:03]
the current administration. We
[12:05]
are certainly experiencing some
[12:06]
real challenges from our federal
[12:08]
government, and it's important
[12:09]
that we come together as a
[12:11]
community and stand in
[12:13]
solidarity with each other.
[12:16]
We've got so many great
[12:17]
movements in Southern California
[12:19]
, whether it's the peace patrols
[12:20]
that helps tell people where Ice
[12:22]
is going to be to everyday
[12:24]
people who are saying, you can
[12:25]
come to our church and we'll
[12:26]
help you out. Those are the
[12:28]
kinds of things that people can
[12:29]
do and are doing here in LA. The
[12:31]
state of the world. While it has
[12:33]
changed, nothing has changed.
[12:35]
Um, it's been many, many years.
[12:37]
And how many of its teachings
[12:38]
can still be applied today? I
[12:40]
think a lot what the legacy is.
[12:41]
What a service. What of
[12:43]
commitment. And one of not
[12:44]
giving up. And really, at the
[12:46]
end of the day, it's about
[12:47]
loving humanity. Love one
[12:49]
another. Y'all We must always
[12:50]
remember Doctor Martin Luther
[12:52]
King Jr. Change is taking place
[12:59]
in South Los Angeles, where the
[13:02]
revitalization of Jordan Downs
[13:02]
is bringing new life to a long
[13:05]
standing community. As older
[13:06]
housing makes way for new,
[13:07]
modern units, city leaders and
[13:10]
developers are keeping a
[13:10]
critical promise that progress
[13:12]
will not come at the cost of
[13:14]
displacement.
[13:26]
We are in the heart of Watts at
[13:28]
Jordan Downs, and we're here
[13:31]
today to celebrate the
[13:32]
completion of another phase of
[13:34]
our Jordan Downs revitalization
[13:36]
Cyprus view. And it's 119 units
[13:39]
of beautiful housing. Jordan
[13:41]
Downs is a traditional public
[13:44]
housing community of just over
[13:47]
700 units built in the 1950s and
[13:49]
over time grew dilapidated. Not
[13:52]
enough federal investment and so
[13:54]
we started conversations with
[13:56]
this neighborhood about
[13:58]
redeveloping and really
[13:59]
reimagining what this community
[14:01]
would look like from the
[14:03]
beginning. We said to the
[14:05]
residents of this community that
[14:06]
the redevelopment would not lead
[14:09]
to any displacement and this is
[14:12]
a promise that we've kept.
[14:14]
Bridge housing has been around
[14:16]
for 40 plus years now and has
[14:18]
been 100% committed to providing
[14:20]
affordable housing, coming into
[14:22]
communities of need like this
[14:24]
being able to guide it to the
[14:26]
point that it is right now,
[14:28]
that's that's special. El Nido
[14:30]
has been around for 100 years.
[14:31]
We provide a lot of supportive
[14:33]
services in the community. You
[14:34]
know, we could open up these new
[14:36]
facilities, but if families get
[14:37]
into trouble and they lose their
[14:39]
housing because they lost their
[14:41]
job, because they got injured,
[14:44]
because they need counseling,
[14:46]
for example, we have the Ice
[14:47]
raids. Some families can't go to
[14:48]
work because of that. There's so
[14:49]
many things going on. So making
[14:52]
sure that the families are
[14:53]
connected to the resources
[14:55]
that's going to support them and
[14:56]
ensure that they're able to stay
[14:58]
in their housing is very, very
[15:00]
important. Este es un compromiso
[15:02]
hicimos a esta comunidad de qué
[15:05]
vamos a traer vivienda digna.
[15:07]
Vivienda de calidad. Vamos a
[15:10]
crear mas parques. Entonces hoy
[15:12]
también celebramos el nuevo
[15:14]
Parque Pearl Park y la vision de
[15:15]
esta comunidad. Es Q watts tenga
[15:20]
las humanidades Q cualquier otra
[15:21]
comunidad en Los Angeles. Tenga
[15:25]
our history of legacy adjourned
[15:27]
down has been demolished. And so
[15:29]
part of us to. So I've been
[15:32]
living here 46 years. Really all
[15:34]
my life that process is
[15:38]
emotional. It has a bittersweet
[15:39]
moment because it's my heritage
[15:42]
as well. Has been demolished. A
[15:44]
lot of heartfelt moments when
[15:46]
you give birth to your kids and
[15:48]
your mom raised you there. So to
[15:49]
transform from there to here is
[15:51]
been a challenge mentally. But
[15:53]
now that I'm here, it's more
[15:55]
because I'm older now, it's more
[15:57]
my speed. It's I can walk around
[15:59]
the park. I love to do that. I
[16:01]
love to sit on my porch and read
[16:02]
a book or sew or just take it
[16:04]
all in. And then just my
[16:06]
bathroom is my therapy. It's my
[16:09]
sanctuary. So the help of
[16:11]
counseling therapy therapists
[16:14]
and people coaching you need it
[16:16]
can do it by yourself. I grew up
[16:20]
in this community. I remember
[16:22]
the challenges that were here in
[16:25]
1965, and to see the
[16:26]
transformation, it makes my
[16:28]
heart feel good to see the
[16:30]
families are starting to get the
[16:32]
resources, services and the type
[16:35]
of facilities they deserve. I
[16:37]
think it's so important, you
[16:38]
know, when we in government
[16:41]
begin these efforts and these
[16:44]
initiatives, they really have to
[16:46]
be centered on people and their
[16:47]
dreams and aspirations. The
[16:50]
residents. Right. They were here
[16:51]
. They were cheering. They were
[16:52]
celebrating. And that's the
[16:55]
barometer that we are on the
[16:56]
right track. But men and women
[17:05]
who run toward danger are asking
[17:07]
Angelenos for support. The
[17:09]
United Firefighters of Los
[17:10]
Angeles City are currently
[17:11]
gathering signatures for a
[17:13]
November ballot initiative.
[17:14]
Their proposal, a half cent
[17:17]
sales tax aimed at funding new
[17:18]
fire stations and upgrading
[17:20]
equipment. We're here today
[17:24]
because we kicked off our
[17:26]
campaign for our ballot measure
[17:27]
to fund LA fire Department. This
[17:29]
is a perfect example of a fire
[17:31]
station in the city of Los
[17:33]
Angeles that is downsized. We
[17:35]
are not adequately staffed and
[17:37]
resourced to serve the needs of
[17:39]
our community. They used to have
[17:42]
two engines and a truck inside
[17:44]
this fire station, and now we
[17:46]
only have an engine. We cut a
[17:48]
truck and an engine out of this
[17:50]
fire station. In 2011. 15 years
[17:52]
later, we haven't got it back.
[17:54]
LAFD has been woefully
[17:56]
underfunded. I came on the job
[17:58]
in 1992 and we have less
[18:00]
firefighters today than we did
[18:03]
in 1992, and it's a shame
[18:07]
because this is a ballot measure
[18:09]
that we are gathering signatures
[18:10]
to get on the November ballot.
[18:12]
It's a half cent sales tax
[18:13]
increase that will raise funds
[18:16]
dedicated to building and
[18:17]
maintaining fire stations and
[18:19]
adding staffing and equipment
[18:20]
here in the city of LA from
[18:23]
Angelenos. What we need right
[18:24]
now is signatures. Signatures
[18:27]
signatures in order to qualify
[18:28]
to get on the ballot for
[18:30]
November of 2026. There's
[18:33]
signature gatherers that will be
[18:34]
in front of your grocery stores,
[18:35]
in front of other facilities.
[18:37]
Please sign the petition and
[18:38]
help support the lAFD. We urge
[18:42]
everybody to sign the petition.
[18:43]
Have your friends have your
[18:45]
neighbors sign it. This is going
[18:46]
to be an all hands on deck
[18:49]
effort for the next few months.
[18:53]
This is a ballot initiative that
[18:54]
is being led directly by our
[18:56]
firefighters themselves, not
[18:58]
City Hall. It's money that
[18:59]
cannot be used for other
[19:02]
purposes, and it finally makes
[19:03]
an investment in dragging our
[19:06]
public safety resources into a
[19:08]
modern century. We're going to
[19:12]
more fires, going to more
[19:13]
medicals. Our our calls have
[19:16]
gone from 100,000 to 500,000
[19:19]
from 1960 to this year. We're
[19:20]
going on more runs. We need more
[19:22]
resources. We're short staffed.
[19:23]
We're shorthanded. It's like the
[19:25]
Dodgers playing baseball with
[19:27]
eight people on the field
[19:29]
instead of nine, can still play
[19:31]
the game, but you're not as
[19:32]
effective. In South Central, Los
[19:37]
Angeles, a long awaited green
[19:39]
space is now open, and it's
[19:41]
already bringing the community
[19:42]
together. Today we are at
[19:46]
Richardson Family Park. We are
[19:48]
reopening the park after the
[19:50]
council office spearheaded the
[19:53]
complete renovation and
[19:55]
modernization of the park. We
[19:55]
are very pleased that the
[19:57]
improvements of the park
[19:58]
incorporate health and wellness
[20:01]
, and also green space and a
[20:03]
much needed South LA community
[20:04]
in communities like South
[20:06]
Central LA. You don't see a lot
[20:07]
of green space and so when
[20:09]
community members say we want to
[20:11]
see this in our community, you
[20:12]
see the what comes of that? And
[20:14]
it's incredible the fact that
[20:16]
young people can come and have a
[20:17]
place where they feel safe. And
[20:19]
even the families themselves be
[20:22]
able to say, we want this and
[20:23]
we're going to fight for it.
[20:24]
We're going to fight for what
[20:25]
our community needs and deserves
[20:26]
. That's what this is. And those
[20:28]
are the results and the outcome
[20:29]
of that. Bueno. Yo digo, qué es
[20:32]
bueno tener un parque porque
[20:33]
este vienen Los ninos. La gente
[20:36]
Los adultos tanto Como Los ninos
[20:37]
vienen a tener diversion y mas
[20:40]
en estos tiempos. También Los
[20:42]
ninos tengan algo de divertirse
[20:43]
en vez de las calles o hacer
[20:45]
otras cosas y creo también nos
[20:46]
sirve para estimular. So we
[20:50]
changed out the apparatus and we
[20:52]
changed out the sandboxes and
[20:53]
replaced them with some more
[20:54]
family friendly materials, put
[20:55]
up this new fence for the
[20:58]
basketball court. We're still
[20:59]
going to resurface the court and
[21:00]
put a mural in here. There are
[21:01]
other things that still need to
[21:04]
be done, but we've turned the
[21:04]
place into a real community
[21:06]
center and it is a center, not
[21:09]
just for the kids to come and
[21:11]
play, but also for the adults to
[21:12]
come and learn and exercise.
[21:14]
It's really exciting for the
[21:17]
neighborhood to have a place
[21:18]
like this where we can count
[21:20]
that it's a safe space and that
[21:21]
people can enjoy themselves
[21:23]
without reservation. Still ahead
[21:33]

[21:35]
stories making waves around the

[23:34]
history came to life this week
[23:37]
at the Campo de Cahuenga. The
[23:39]
signing of the Treaty of
[23:40]
Cahuenga marked a turning point
[23:40]
in the state's past, and through
[23:43]
a live reenactment, that story
[23:44]
is being preserved for younger
[23:46]
generations. Everybody ready?
[23:48]
Here we go. We're here in
[23:53]
Council District two, in my
[23:55]
district, celebrating the 179th
[23:58]
anniversary of the signing of
[24:00]
the treaty of the Campo. It
[24:02]
doesn't get any more historical
[24:05]
of a site than the Campo. We
[24:07]
here in Los Angeles have not the
[24:11]
birthplace of California, but
[24:12]
the place that preceded by about
[24:15]
11 months. The birthplace of
[24:17]
California. This is where Campo
[24:19]
de Cahuenga is, where the treaty
[24:21]
of the Campo was signed. This is
[24:23]
an amazing part of history. It's
[24:26]
really wonderful to have all the
[24:28]
folks who are going to be doing
[24:30]
the reenactment, keeping this
[24:32]
history alive. General
[24:35]
administrators can offer to join
[24:37]
America at this time. We're just
[24:43]
really here, just really just to
[24:44]
celebrate the museum and all of
[24:46]
its history and the history of
[24:47]
California. Hey there. It's
[24:56]
really important for us to
[24:58]
remember the past, to learn from
[25:01]
the past. Events like this are
[25:03]
critical to teach younger
[25:06]
generations, so they understand
[25:07]
how the history of California
[25:09]
came about, how California
[25:11]
interacted with its indigenous
[25:13]
peoples. So the Campo we're
[25:18]
situated at a crossroads where a
[25:19]
mountain pass meets a river ford
[25:22]
and humans, as long as they've
[25:24]
been in California from the
[25:25]
indigenous to today, pass
[25:26]
through this pass. That's why
[25:27]
the armies that had been
[25:29]
fighting met here to end the
[25:30]
fighting and transfer.
[25:31]
California And that's worth
[25:34]
remembering. The motivation is
[25:36]
to teach California history.
[25:37]
This is the most historic site
[25:40]
west of the Mississippi River
[25:42]
that no one knows about. Equal
[25:44]
rights and privileges are
[25:46]
vouchsafed to every citizen of
[25:47]
California, as are enjoyed by
[25:49]
the citizens of the United
[25:51]
States of North America. The
[25:53]
recreation of parks just want to
[25:55]
thank the Campo de Cahuenga
[25:56]
Historical Museum Association,
[25:58]
just really for their support
[25:59]
year round. To learn more about

[26:18]
From Candy sculptures to a wall
[26:20]
of wishes Oshogatsu the New Year
[26:23]
celebrations of Japanese
[26:24]
Americans brought the community
[26:25]
together in little Tokyo. Today
[26:35]
we're celebrating what we call
[26:37]
oshogatsu in Japanese. It's the
[26:40]
new Year and it's put on yearly
[26:43]
by the Japanese, American
[26:44]
National Museum. So this is our
[26:48]
celebration of the New Year.
[26:49]
It's the Japanese New Year, and
[26:51]
the Japanese American New Year.
[26:52]
So we have lots of activities
[26:53]
and performances really geared
[26:55]
towards kids. And it's
[26:56]
everything from taiko
[26:58]
demonstrations from kodomo
[26:59]
taiko, where they're also
[27:00]
pounding mochi or rice cakes. We
[27:01]
have shun the Candy man. He's
[27:03]
doing candy sculptures. We have
[27:04]
lots of crafts that are all year
[27:06]
of the horse themed and lots of
[27:08]
other community partners and
[27:09]
activities happening as well. I
[27:15]
totally recommend coming out
[27:15]
here. Enjoy the great food,
[27:17]
great people. It happens every
[27:19]
year. Come on down, have some
[27:20]
fun. We have a variety of
[27:28]
performances from local artists
[27:30]
, performers and community
[27:32]
members. We also have a wide
[27:33]
variety of stands that you can
[27:35]
visit from our America's Wish
[27:37]
Wall to discover Nikkei to
[27:41]
Nikkei. Progressives who have
[27:42]
all come together here to share
[27:44]
their resources, activities and
[27:46]
different things for the
[27:47]
community members to come do
[27:48]
today. We're Japanese, so it's
[27:54]
always kind of nice to show the
[27:57]
kids, you know what our heritage
[27:58]
is all about. We celebrate our
[28:01]
heritage. It's a yearly thing.
[28:03]
There's a lot of custom to it,
[28:06]
and it brings good luck. As a
[28:13]
museum, we want to keep
[28:14]
upholding our history and our
[28:17]
culture of, you know, Japanese
[28:19]
immigrants to the present day
[28:20]
Japanese American culture. So
[28:21]
it's really important for us to
[28:23]
keep celebrating together. My
[28:29]
favorite part about these
[28:31]
festivals is that you see
[28:32]
families different people, all
[28:34]
walks of life that come through
[28:35]
here to come celebrate the
[28:37]
culture to come celebrate
[28:38]
community, and to be together.
[28:40]
So it's a wonderful way to ring
[28:41]
in the new year, and we're
[28:42]
really thankful for everyone
[28:43]
who's been a part of this. And
[28:44]
making this happen to everyone
[28:45]
who's come to celebrate with us
[28:51]
. They make it look effortless,
[28:52]
but staying ready to save lives
[28:54]
takes grit, endurance and
[28:56]
constant training. LA city
[28:58]
lifeguards invited us behind the
[29:00]
scenes to see the demanding
[29:02]
recertification process. They
[29:03]
must complete to stay on the job
[29:05]
. Let's dive in. Today, we're
[29:10]
here at Celeste King. We are
[29:12]
hosting the 2026. We
[29:13]
certifications. Behind me, we
[29:14]
have our life saving staff in
[29:15]
which we will be testing them
[29:17]
today in their water skills. We
[29:19]
will be testing them in the 500
[29:21]
meter swim all swimmers, take
[29:22]
your mark. Go. 500m, which is
[29:30]
about 22 laps in this pool. It
[29:32]
was a little bit tiring, but
[29:33]
it's a good metric for people to
[29:36]
swim in open water. We have to
[29:39]
get in under ten minutes, so
[29:40]
it's just to see that all
[29:42]
lifeguards meet the requirements
[29:43]
to keep lifeguarding for the
[29:45]
city of Los Angeles. I think
[29:47]
being a lifeguard is a great job
[29:49]
because you learn a lot of water
[29:50]
safety skills for dummies. So it
[29:53]
does take some skill and effort
[29:55]
to be able to bring out the
[29:56]
dummy from the bottom of the
[29:58]
pool. It does take experience
[30:00]
and practice for lifeguards to
[30:02]
be able to complete this event.
[30:06]
Swimming is a really important
[30:07]
life saving skill. I myself have
[30:08]
almost drowned when I was little
[30:10]
, so it was definitely a big
[30:11]
motivator for me to learn how to
[30:12]
swim. And I think anyone that
[30:13]
has struggled in the water knows
[30:15]
that fear, and it's definitely a
[30:16]
good, life saving technique to
[30:18]
have. I grew up swimming my
[30:19]
entire life and eventually
[30:22]
started helping others swim,
[30:24]
teaching lessons, teaching
[30:25]
programs. Finally, I started
[30:27]
swimming open water and that
[30:29]
changed my entire perspective on
[30:31]
lifeguarding. What we do and how
[30:32]
we prevent people from having a
[30:34]
very unfortunate day. Anybody
[30:37]
that's interested in a job
[30:38]
opportunity to work with
[30:38]
aquatics, they're more than
[30:40]
welcome to visit any LA city
[30:41]
pool there. They can find
[30:43]
resources and information about
[30:44]
any job opportunities that they
[30:46]
have. If you want to become
[30:47]
lifeguards, locker tenants or
[30:48]
pool clerks, it is open to
[30:49]
anybody. I came back this year
[30:53]
to do another year as being a
[30:55]
lifeguard for the city. I really
[30:57]
think it's one of the best jobs
[30:58]
out there. That's what brings me
[30:59]
back every year. Because.
[31:16]
Now in its 45th year, the annual
[31:20]
Black Doll show at the William
[31:22]
Grant Still Arts Center
[31:23]
continues to inspire and educate
[31:26]
. More than an exhibit, it's a
[31:28]
celebration of identity,
[31:29]
craftsmanship, and the power of
[31:30]
representation. The Black Doll
[31:35]
Show is something that goes on
[31:37]
at William Grant Still Arts
[31:39]
Center every year. It's been
[31:39]
going on for the past 45 years.
[31:41]
There's a different theme every
[31:43]
year. The history is that we
[31:51]
wanted to showcase dolls that
[31:53]
represent people of color. There
[31:57]
have always been kind of a
[31:59]
stigma, and this show exhibits
[32:01]
how gorgeous dolls in all colors
[32:04]
are. And so we wanted to exhibit
[32:06]
that and also honor the artists
[32:08]
who make them. We just have a
[32:13]
wonderful time showing our black
[32:14]
dolls. The dolls are so unique
[32:17]
in their own way. The most
[32:20]
unusual, very unusual doll show
[32:24]
that you'll ever see. I've been
[32:29]
working here in the Cultural
[32:30]
Affairs department for almost a
[32:32]
year now, and now I have my own
[32:35]
piece in the black Doll show. A
[32:38]
lot of people don't know how
[32:40]
dolls are made, and we also give
[32:42]
classes after the show. So it
[32:44]
gives them a chance to see how
[32:46]
they're made and the variations
[32:47]
of them, whether they're clay or
[32:50]
cloth. This highlights community
[32:54]
, especially community of color
[32:56]
and so I like to be involved in
[32:59]
something powerful, positive and
[33:01]
beautiful. I feel honored to
[33:03]
have a piece of work in this art
[33:05]
show, especially since it's been
[33:07]
going on for 45 years. The
[33:10]
annual Black Doll show, and this
[33:12]
is the first black doll I've
[33:13]
ever made, and I'm just very
[33:14]
happy to be a part of this show
[33:17]
. You are always welcome to come
[33:19]
here to the center right now we
[33:21]
have the 45th Annual Black Doll
[33:23]
Show. However throughout the
[33:26]
year we have different exhibits
[33:27]
that you can come and see.
[33:28]
They're free. So don't just come
[33:32]
for one art exhibit. Come
[33:34]
throughout the year. If you're
[33:42]
looking for something to do
[33:43]
around LA, we've got you
[33:45]
covered. Check out what's
[33:45]
happening. This week on Things
[33:46]
to Do. Celebrate all things
[33:48]

[55:02]
Sí, Como concejal Blumenfield,
[55:04]
quiero hacer comentarios para
[55:06]
uno antes de comentario público.
[55:09]
Tomarlo que lo escuchamos en la
[55:11]
comité. El tema número uno,
[55:12]
señor Blumenfield. Muy bien.
[55:15]
Gracias, colegas. Me levanto
[55:17]
pidiendo su apoyo para este a
[55:19]
este tema. Microtraumas y
[55:24]
contenido vertical cambia como
[55:27]
las audiencias consumen los
[55:28]
medios. Estas historias se
[55:31]
conserven en nueve 16. Muchas
[55:33]
de estas producciones no
[55:36]
cumplen los requerimientos para
[55:37]
los créditos de estados
[55:40]
presente. Esto para tener
[55:41]
incentivos financieros para
[55:42]
tener presupuesto más bajo en
[55:44]
Los Ángeles, pero para dejar
[55:45]
que esta industria sepan que
[55:48]
Hollywood Los Ángeles les da la
[55:51]
bienvenida. Muchos de nosotros
[55:52]
tenemos inspiración de
[55:55]
legislación en varios
[55:56]
diferentes fuentes. A veces las
[56:00]
noticias a veces son un
[56:01]
constituyente colega en otra
[56:03]
ciudad, muchas diferentes
[56:05]
maneras y a veces miembros de
[56:07]
nuestra familia. En este caso,
[56:09]
yo tengo miembros de mi familia
[56:11]
en el negocio de producción y
[56:14]
me cansé cada. Cada escena
[56:19]
escuchar cómo la industria se
[56:20]
está yendo de Los Ángeles y
[56:22]
todas estas cosas que podemos
[56:23]
hacer. Pero sí, tratemos de
[56:25]
hacer algo. Entonces mi hermano,
[56:26]
quien está en esa industria,
[56:28]
estaba hablando de la
[56:30]
microindustria y cómo estamos
[56:32]
teniendo. Mucha competición de
[56:36]
otros países y estados. Es una
[56:38]
parte de la industria de
[56:41]
entretenimiento. Es un mercado
[56:43]
de 15 mil millones de dólares.
[56:46]
Y como necesitamos como una
[56:48]
ciudad, hacer cargo de que
[56:49]
hagamos todo para mantener esta
[56:51]
industria aquí en Los Ángeles
[56:52]
donde debe estar, porque
[56:54]
también da de comer a otras
[56:56]
cosas televisión y películas.
[57:00]
El mercado, como dije, va a ser
[57:04]
15 mil millones para en dos
[57:05]
años, dos meses. Hay
[57:08]
producciones verticales, cada
[57:10]
episodio son de 1 a 2 minutos,
[57:12]
con una serie durando 20 a 100
[57:15]
episodios. Me imagino que todos
[57:16]
ustedes lo vieron. Es mucha
[57:18]
producción que no pensamos,
[57:20]
muchos trabajos y posibilidad
[57:22]
seria con presupuestos menos de
[57:25]
200.000 $, producciones de
[57:27]
micro drama caen debajo de el
[57:30]
requerimiento para los créditos
[57:31]
de impuestos y los creadores se
[57:33]
están reubicando en otras
[57:35]
ciudades. Le pregunté a mi
[57:36]
hermano porque está siempre
[57:38]
filmando en otros estados y
[57:39]
otros países y esta es la razón
[57:41]
por cual una encuesta demostró
[57:44]
que el 78% de productores
[57:47]
locales filman fuera de Los
[57:49]
Ángeles, resultando en pérdida
[57:51]
de trabajos y ganancias
[57:53]
significativos. Es un problema
[57:54]
que tenemos que arreglar.
[57:55]
Entonces, qué votamos hoy?
[57:58]
Estamos aquí para ayudar.
[57:59]
Permisos y ayuda financiera
[58:01]
para este tipo de producción.
[58:02]
Tenemos que cortar la cinta
[58:04]
roja y crear pases para
[58:05]
permisos y ofrecer ayuda,
[58:07]
porque estas son producciones
[58:08]
más pequeñas y minimalistas. El
[58:10]
fin de la moción es para crear
[58:12]
oportunidades para ayudar con
[58:13]
los creadores de contenido,
[58:15]
estableciendo un programa que
[58:16]
va arriba de fondos para la
[58:18]
producción local de apoyo para
[58:21]
programas de micro apoyo, Darle
[58:24]
de comer a una generación nueva
[58:27]
y nos va a ayudar en el futuro
[58:29]
para ser ese centro de
[58:30]
entretenimiento global que
[58:33]
hemos sido y que tenemos que
[58:34]
seguir siendo. Desde que
[58:36]
presenté esto, escuchamos de
[58:37]
varios cinematógrafos quienes
[58:40]
dijeron que los microtraumas
[58:42]
les dio oportunidades de
[58:45]
alumnos a profesionales. Este
[58:47]
tipo de contenido lo están
[58:48]
haciendo y tenemos que seguir.
[58:51]
El incentivo financiero va a
[58:52]
ayudar estableciendo un
[58:55]
programa de subsidios. Tales
[58:58]
incentivos y apoyo para la
[59:00]
producción para fomentar una
[59:02]
generación nueva de talento. Le
[59:06]
debemos a los cinematógrafos
[59:08]
para sacar esto. De la sombra.
[59:13]
Y esto comienza para hacer el
[59:15]
análisis que necesitamos.
[59:16]
Cuáles son los incentivos y
[59:18]
cómo podemos específicamente
[59:21]
permitir esta forma nueva de
[59:23]
producción? Entonces, para eso
[59:29]
yo pido su voto a favor. Muchas
[59:31]
gracias señor Blumenfield. Tema
[59:32]
número uno. Queda entre
[59:33]
nosotros la votación. 14 a
[59:37]
favor. Muy bien. Bueno, antes
[59:39]
de hacer comentario público,
[59:41]
quiero tomar un momento para
[59:44]
reconocer. Señor Nazarian del
[59:46]
segundo distrito para un
[59:48]
anuncio especial en
[59:50]
reconocimiento. Gracias,
[59:52]
Presidente del Consejo. Y
[59:54]
gracias, colegas. Quiero tomar
[59:59]
un minuto ahora con lo que está
[1:00:01]
pasando en Irán para hablar
[1:00:02]
sobre los eventos recientes y
[1:00:05]
compartir un poco de mi
[1:00:06]
experiencia también. Colegas en
[1:00:11]
Irán donde yo nací gente de
[1:00:13]
todo el país tomaron protestas
[1:00:17]
a un ambiente intolerable
[1:00:20]
económico, inflación y la mano
[1:00:23]
de un régimen brutal
[1:00:25]
autoritario como en el pasado.
[1:00:27]
El régimen respondió con
[1:00:29]
brutalidad asombrante mientras
[1:00:32]
hablé públicamente en otros
[1:00:35]
lugares. No hablé aquí hasta
[1:00:38]
hoy. Estos eventos despertaron
[1:00:42]
recuerdos dolorosos de mi
[1:00:45]
salida de Irán. Quiero poner
[1:00:47]
estos eventos en perspectiva
[1:00:48]
antes de comentárselos. Y ahora,
[1:00:53]
mientras un video va a
[1:00:55]
demostrar, se va deslizar en el
[1:00:57]
pasado para entender los
[1:00:58]
protestas en Irán. Ayuda a
[1:01:01]
mirar la historia moderna
[1:01:02]
política. En el 53, el
[1:01:06]
ministerio primario Mohammed
[1:01:08]
Mosaddegh fue sacado de Potter
[1:01:12]
en un hecho de los Estados
[1:01:14]
Unidos y el Reino Unido. Esto
[1:01:15]
pasó después de que Mosaddegh
[1:01:17]
nacionalizó la industria de
[1:01:19]
petróleo que fue controlado,
[1:01:22]
controlado por empresas, y
[1:01:25]
después de eso, el show se puso
[1:01:27]
de nuevo con apoyo de los
[1:01:30]
gobiernos del Oeste. En los
[1:01:31]
próximos 25 años, Irán se
[1:01:33]
alineo mucho con el oeste, pero
[1:01:37]
continuó a finalizar el
[1:01:40]
nacionalismo de sus propios
[1:01:42]
recursos de petróleo para
[1:01:44]
mantener los bienes adentro y
[1:01:47]
crecer su infraestructura. Pero
[1:01:49]
mientras el país modernizó,
[1:01:51]
muchos iraníes se quedaron
[1:01:53]
excluidos del poder y se
[1:01:55]
sintieron resentidos, que
[1:01:57]
permitió que la influencia del
[1:02:00]
Oeste penetre Irán. Y para el
[1:02:02]
78 las protestas se hicieron en
[1:02:04]
Irán. Demostraciones crecieron
[1:02:06]
en un año y se encontraron con
[1:02:10]
violencia de los esfuerzos del
[1:02:12]
Estado. Las fuerzas del Estado.
[1:02:13]
En el 79 el Sol se salió del
[1:02:16]
país para evitar sangre y una
[1:02:19]
revolución. Trajo ayatolá
[1:02:21]
Jomeini a poder Irán. Se hizo
[1:02:24]
una república islámica donde
[1:02:26]
autoridades religiosas
[1:02:28]
conservadores tienen poder
[1:02:31]
sobre el gobierno elegido. En
[1:02:34]
las décadas que siguen, Irán
[1:02:37]
pasó por guerra con Irak,
[1:02:39]
represión política interna y
[1:02:41]
tensiones con países del oeste.
[1:02:42]
Sanciones se impusieron para
[1:02:45]
tener el programa nuclear de
[1:02:49]
Irán. Estas sanciones afectaron
[1:02:52]
la economía de Irán,
[1:02:53]
contribuyendo a inflación,
[1:02:55]
desempleo y acceso reducido a
[1:02:58]
mercados globales. En este
[1:02:59]
plazo, Irán vio olas de
[1:03:02]
protestas repetidas en 2009,
[1:03:04]
2017 2019. Los eventos más
[1:03:08]
recientes en 2022, donde más se
[1:03:12]
estableció después hecho por
[1:03:17]
presiones políticas y
[1:03:19]
económicas y restricciones
[1:03:21]
sociales. Cada vez que las
[1:03:22]
autoridades respondieron con
[1:03:24]
restricciones de medios,
[1:03:25]
arrestos masivos y fuerza letal,
[1:03:29]
esto siguió un patrono y
[1:03:33]
demostraciones fueron causadas
[1:03:35]
por dificultades económicas y
[1:03:37]
resultaron en décadas de
[1:03:39]
frustración acumulado sobre la
[1:03:40]
falta de derechos humanos y
[1:03:43]
libertades y las condiciones de
[1:03:45]
vivir. Esta inquietud no está
[1:03:48]
pasando y aislamiento es parte
[1:03:49]
de un ciclo histórico hecho por
[1:03:52]
intervención del extranjero.
[1:03:56]
Autoritarios restricciones
[1:03:58]
económicas y demandas públicas
[1:03:59]
para reformas. El régimen en
[1:04:03]
Irán bloqueó acceso a
[1:04:05]
telecomunicaciones, incluyendo
[1:04:06]
el Internet. Entonces no
[1:04:08]
sabemos cuántos iraníes han
[1:04:11]
muertos en la última ola de
[1:04:14]
violencia estatal. 6036 mil,
[1:04:18]
quizás más de 50.000 son
[1:04:20]
adivina. Son cálculos. Es una
[1:04:25]
masacre hecho por un gobierno
[1:04:27]
en contra de su propia gente
[1:04:29]
por ejercer su derecho
[1:04:32]
universal de protesta en paz.
[1:04:34]
Es un delito en contra de la
[1:04:36]
humanidad. Lo sé. Que el uno de
[1:04:37]
mis colegas quieren decir unas
[1:04:39]
palabras. Concejala Yaroslavsky,
[1:04:42]
usted quiere ser la primera
[1:04:44]
quien habla. Gracias, Concejal
[1:04:47]
Nazaret. Estoy agradecida. La
[1:04:49]
oportunidad de reconocer la
[1:04:51]
crisis en Irán, en solidaridad
[1:04:54]
con la comunidad iraní
[1:04:55]
americana aquí en Los Ángeles.
[1:04:58]
Quiero hacer unos comentarios.
[1:05:00]
Las organizaciones de derechos
[1:05:01]
humanos reportan que varios
[1:05:04]
miles han sido muertos en
[1:05:05]
protestas nacional. Un apagón
[1:05:09]
de comunicaciones ha hecho que
[1:05:11]
reportaje sea posible y causó
[1:05:12]
que familias que no tengan
[1:05:15]
respuestas claras realmente
[1:05:18]
rompe el corazón. Los Ángeles
[1:05:22]
es la casa de una de las
[1:05:23]
comunidades iraníes más grandes
[1:05:24]
del mundo. Varios angelinos
[1:05:26]
vinieron aquí después de la
[1:05:28]
revolución de 79 y varios Los
[1:05:30]
constituyentes todavía tienen
[1:05:32]
padres, hermanos y queridos en
[1:05:35]
Irán. Hoy las familias están
[1:05:36]
viendo eventos con miedo. No
[1:05:40]
poderse comunicarse con la
[1:05:41]
gente que aman. El Distrito
[1:05:43]
cinco incluye Westwood conoció
[1:05:45]
a varios como Ángeles, el
[1:05:48]
corazón de los persas
[1:05:50]
americanos. El año pasado
[1:05:51]
designó más Square para honrar
[1:05:53]
una mujer joven, quien su
[1:05:55]
muerte representó valentía y
[1:05:57]
demanda para dignidad humana
[1:05:59]
básica. Creo que es importante
[1:06:01]
reconocer la tristeza y el
[1:06:04]
miedo en nuestros corazones.
[1:06:08]
Están con todos los iraníes en
[1:06:10]
Los Ángeles, preocupados por la
[1:06:12]
seguridad de sus seres queridos.
[1:06:19]
Gracias, Concejal Nazarian por
[1:06:23]
traer esto. Por explicar las
[1:06:29]
circunstancias aquí en Los
[1:06:31]
Ángeles. Creo que mucha gente
[1:06:32]
no sabe la historia. Están
[1:06:35]
agradecidos que usted lo
[1:06:36]
iluminó y el hecho de que está
[1:06:38]
trayendo atención a este asunto
[1:06:40]
aquí en esta Cámara.
[1:06:42]
Especialmente porque como usted
[1:06:43]
y concejal Slawski mencionaron
[1:06:45]
Los Ángeles es la casa tantos
[1:06:48]
en la edad para iraní. Quienes
[1:06:51]
sienten conexiones fuertes son
[1:06:52]
nuestros vecinos. Servidores
[1:06:58]
públicos, científicos que esta
[1:07:02]
ciudad ha sido formada mucho
[1:07:03]
por su presencia. Entonces está
[1:07:05]
bien que usted surge estos
[1:07:09]
asuntos aquí en esta Cámara No
[1:07:11]
tengo mucho más que agregar a
[1:07:13]
las palabras que ustedes dos ya
[1:07:15]
elocuentemente compartieron,
[1:07:16]
pero solamente para decir que
[1:07:17]
creo que todos nos paramos al
[1:07:19]
lado de los iraníes argelinos
[1:07:22]
preocupados de sus familias,
[1:07:23]
preocupados por la retórica que
[1:07:25]
está aumentando aquí y pidiendo
[1:07:30]
que por favor hablen sobre
[1:07:31]
estos asuntos. Con seguridad. Y
[1:07:37]
nos paramos al lado de ellos.
[1:07:39]
Creo que los ángeles han
[1:07:40]
mostrado por sus comunidades no
[1:07:44]
solamente en momentos de
[1:07:45]
celebración, sino que en
[1:07:46]
momentos como estos, de
[1:07:50]
incertidumbres, donde miembros
[1:07:52]
de las familias de las personas
[1:07:55]
aterrorizadas en casa, yo tengo
[1:07:58]
empatía profunda por lo que
[1:07:59]
está pasando con la comunidad
[1:08:01]
ahora y quiero agradecerles por
[1:08:03]
reconocer este momento, por lo
[1:08:04]
que es y por permitirnos parar
[1:08:06]
con el lado al lado suyo. Señor
[1:08:10]
Nazarian. Gracias, Presidente.
[1:08:12]
Muchas gracias, concejala y
[1:08:15]
muchísimas gracias. Concejala
[1:08:17]
Slowsky. Yo solo quiero acabar
[1:08:21]
esto pidiendo que todos
[1:08:23]
nosotros nos levantemos y
[1:08:25]
levantemos en un momento de
[1:08:27]
silencio para todas las
[1:08:28]
personas quienes han muerto y
[1:08:30]
varios quienes sus nombres
[1:08:32]
nunca vamos a saber. Muchas
[1:08:35]
gracias.
[1:08:52]
Gracias colegas.
[1:08:59]

[1:09:41]

[1:11:30]

[1:11:34]

Washington, George V. Y Paul.
[1:12:08]
Todos los temas y comentario
[1:12:10]
público general en tres minutos
[1:12:13]
para los temas y un minutos
[1:12:14]
para general. Los sistema 20 se
[1:12:17]
relaciona con aceptar
[1:12:19]
subvenciones para calles
[1:12:21]
abiertas y cerradas, pero
[1:12:24]
presumo que es como esos
[1:12:27]
eventos se pone muy bien. Son
[1:12:31]
buenos para la comunidad. Tema
[1:12:34]
21 Se relaciona. Con asegurar
[1:12:40]
los permisos para la
[1:12:42]
celebración de Año Nuevo de la
[1:12:45]
noche antes de Año Nuevo. Un
[1:12:48]
mes después. Quiero asegurar
[1:12:52]
los permisos para ese evento.
[1:12:54]
Wow! Ok, entonces a ver,
[1:13:01]
tenemos varios juicios. Más
[1:13:03]
dinero para gastar por su
[1:13:06]
liderazgo. No teniéndole
[1:13:10]
servicios de vivienda a la
[1:13:11]
gente. Todas las cosas
[1:13:13]
divertidas que tienen, los
[1:13:15]
cuales le están haciendo juicio
[1:13:17]
porque la ciudad no está
[1:13:20]
reparando las banquetas, el
[1:13:22]
departamento de policía
[1:13:24]
disparándole a la gente,
[1:13:25]
matando a gente todo el tiempo,
[1:13:28]
tiene todos estos juicios
[1:13:30]
diferentes que están agotando
[1:13:33]
el dinero del presupuesto de la
[1:13:35]
ciudad, porque ustedes no
[1:13:37]
realmente hacen sus trabajos,
[1:13:39]
no arreglan las aceras y no
[1:13:42]
mantienen responsables a los
[1:13:44]
policías realmente para
[1:13:45]
financiar ese departamento está
[1:13:47]
agotando todos los recursos de
[1:13:48]
la ciudad y causando más
[1:13:50]
violencia. Ahora. Comentario
[1:13:52]
público general. Bueno, Tracy.
[1:13:54]
Qué le está pasando a su
[1:13:57]
representante de comunicaciones?
[1:13:58]
Está escribiendo toda esta de
[1:14:02]
la comunidad. Así. Esos son.
[1:14:07]
Quién es Tracy Park Emplea en
[1:14:11]
su empleo como sus empleados?
[1:14:13]
Son estos raros de derecha
[1:14:17]
extrema que nace mentiras y va
[1:14:19]
a la comisión de policía. Los
[1:14:23]
mantienen responsable porque
[1:14:24]
ellos no mantienen responsable
[1:14:25]
a los policías. Estas personas
[1:14:28]
raras, quienes escriben estas
[1:14:29]
mentiras obvias y todas estas
[1:14:33]
estupideces. Uno de los
[1:14:34]
artículos más asquerosos que he
[1:14:36]
visto recientemente tratando de
[1:14:38]
ser agitador en la reunión.
[1:14:41]
Esos son quienes Tracy Park
[1:14:44]
emplea. Echen a Jim McDonald.
[1:14:45]
El departamento de policía
[1:14:47]
todavía está ayudando. Los
[1:14:48]
secuestros de ICE, desfinanciar
[1:14:50]
a la policía? Sí. Buenos días.
[1:14:58]
En qué punto nos quiere dar su
[1:15:00]
comentario? El comentario
[1:15:01]
general. Un minuto. Me llamo
[1:15:04]
Paloma. Y gustos con el sonido.
[1:15:07]
Como. Mientras que la ciudad da
[1:15:08]
la bienvenida al mundo por la.
[1:15:10]
Por medio de la Copa Mundial y
[1:15:12]
las Olimpiadas, FIFA y el Hnf
[1:15:15]
tuvieron la obligación de
[1:15:16]
entregar ciertos planes para
[1:15:19]
antes del 31 de diciembre. Pero
[1:15:22]
no son documentos públicos, así
[1:15:23]
que no sabemos cómo vamos a
[1:15:26]
abordar los riesgos de tráfico
[1:15:27]
en la Copa Mundial. Queda
[1:15:29]
cuatro meses antes de empezar,
[1:15:32]
entonces no tenemos tiempo para
[1:15:33]
poder enfocar en la seguridad
[1:15:35]
de los trabajadores antes de
[1:15:37]
que suceda algún problema en
[1:15:41]
FIFA y el Twenty Eight, pedimos
[1:15:44]
que asignen 3 millones de su
[1:15:47]
presupuesto para abordar este
[1:15:49]
asunto. Eso es una pequeña
[1:15:51]
inversión, pero sin nada
[1:15:53]
escrito. No podemos contar con
[1:15:54]
esta protección. Hay 38
[1:15:58]
organizaciones en los Estados
[1:15:59]
Unidos que han firmado para
[1:16:01]
apoyar esta iniciativa. Pedimos
[1:16:03]
su transparencia y que aseguren
[1:16:05]
que esta estos organismos
[1:16:08]
contribuyen de manera
[1:16:09]
significativa al tráfico. Antes
[1:16:11]
del siguiente comentarista voy
[1:16:13]
a llamar esos nombres. Robert
[1:16:16]
Dickinson será Leeds. Sheree,
[1:16:18]
Bill O Reilly y Laura FM. En
[1:16:24]
qué punto quiere dar su
[1:16:25]
comentario? Un comentario
[1:16:26]
general Y el número cinco? El
[1:16:28]
número cinco no está disponible
[1:16:30]
para el comentario público,
[1:16:31]
pero puede referirse al número
[1:16:34]
cinco durante su comentario
[1:16:35]
general. Bueno, soy George
[1:16:38]
Bocanegra, del Consejo de
[1:16:40]
Carpinteros y representamos más
[1:16:41]
de 45.000 carpinteros en en
[1:16:45]
toda California. Respetamos los
[1:16:48]
intereses de la ciudad para
[1:16:49]
buscar la claridad, pero eso
[1:16:52]
socava la intención de A, B 20
[1:16:55]
11 y corremos el riesgo de
[1:17:00]
socavar más de estas
[1:17:03]
construcciones de viviendas
[1:17:04]
asequibles, entre otras
[1:17:06]
actividades de construcción.
[1:17:08]
Necesitamos impulsores de la
[1:17:10]
construcción y no más
[1:17:12]
obstáculos. Necesitamos un
[1:17:15]
salario mínimo para proteger a
[1:17:17]
los trabajadores y mantener la
[1:17:19]
fuerza laboral que necesitamos
[1:17:20]
para construir las viviendas
[1:17:22]
que California necesita. En
[1:17:24]
cuanto a AV 11, eh el El motivo
[1:17:29]
era quitar los obstáculos y
[1:17:34]
ayudar a los trabajadores, así
[1:17:35]
que pedimos con mucho respeto
[1:17:37]
que hablen con nosotros. En
[1:17:38]
cuanto a los asuntos de AB 20
[1:17:42]
11. Buenos días, en qué puntos
[1:17:46]
quiere comentar el cinco? Bueno,
[1:17:49]
sería el comentario general. Un
[1:17:50]
minuto. Adelante. Me llamo
[1:17:53]
Robert Dickerson. Esto es
[1:17:56]
referente a la construcción de
[1:18:00]
vivienda en el Country Club. Mi
[1:18:03]
familia y yo hemos vivido cerca
[1:18:05]
del Country Club durante
[1:18:08]
décadas y mi hija hasta ha
[1:18:10]
comprado una casa en esa área
[1:18:13]
también en este lugar, hay
[1:18:16]
mucha densidad y nos gusta
[1:18:20]
llamar las calles como de
[1:18:22]
espagueti, porque a hoy son en
[1:18:25]
forma de culebra y son muy
[1:18:28]
estrechas. Muchas veces solo se
[1:18:30]
permite el tráfico en un
[1:18:32]
sentido después de la. Los
[1:18:35]
incendios de los palacetes nos
[1:18:38]
llegó un aviso de evacuación,
[1:18:40]
no tuvimos que ir pero
[1:18:42]
decidimos irnos de igual manera.
[1:18:43]
Entonces la amenaza de una
[1:18:46]
evacuación no sería, eh,
[1:18:51]
hipotética? No, pero una
[1:18:53]
amenaza verdadera. Lo lamento,
[1:18:56]
pero tenemos que darles a todo
[1:18:58]
el mundo en la misma cantidad
[1:18:59]
de tiempo. Para las personas
[1:19:02]
que suelen ir al a estas
[1:19:04]
reuniones, ya saben esto. Pero
[1:19:06]
para los demás que nos no saben
[1:19:09]
si quieren seguir su comentario
[1:19:12]
o pueden entregar su comentario
[1:19:13]
por escrito en el enlace que
[1:19:16]
aparece en la página de portada
[1:19:19]
de la agenda. Gracias.
[1:19:22]
Siguiente. Buenos días. En qué
[1:19:29]
punto El 22? Un minuto. Me
[1:19:32]
llamo Sara Lee. Soy la
[1:19:34]
directora ejecutiva de las
[1:19:37]
Viviendas Comunitarias de
[1:19:38]
Hollywood. Por favor, rechacen
[1:19:40]
el gasto de más de 100
[1:19:43]
millones de dólares para, eh.
[1:19:46]
Para poder luchar contra estas
[1:19:49]
construcciones de viviendas.
[1:19:50]
Según el escrito, están
[1:19:53]
haciendo reclamos falsos de
[1:19:55]
fraude para el lote siete 31.
[1:20:01]
No hay fraude. Uno de los
[1:20:07]
dependientes había empezado
[1:20:08]
todos sus trámites para este
[1:20:10]
lote, que era un espacio
[1:20:12]
abierto, y estos montos
[1:20:15]
reflejan la zonificación de
[1:20:17]
espacio abierto. Y ese consejo
[1:20:21]
aprobó la zonificación para
[1:20:24]
poder dar lugar a viviendas
[1:20:27]
asequibles y espacios
[1:20:29]
comerciales. Por favor, no
[1:20:31]
desperdicien más dinero en los
[1:20:32]
abogados y deberían apoyar este
[1:20:35]
proyecto y contamos con sus
[1:20:37]
votos en 2026 y 2022. Siguiente.
[1:20:42]
Buenos días. En qué puntos? El
[1:20:45]
diez y el comentario general?
[1:20:47]
El diez y el comentario general?
[1:20:49]
Sí, el diez no está disponible
[1:20:52]
para comentarios en general,
[1:20:53]
así que solo tendría un minuto.
[1:20:56]
Okey. Hola, me llamo Sarah Bell.
[1:20:59]
Y soy trabajadora en el cine y
[1:21:04]
quisiera empezar con darles las
[1:21:05]
gracias por votar. Sí, en este
[1:21:07]
proyecto de ley. Y gracias al
[1:21:09]
señor Gibson y al señor
[1:21:10]
Blumenfield por crear una
[1:21:13]
iniciativa clara. Como ha
[1:21:15]
comentado esta mañana estoy de
[1:21:17]
acuerdo con su visión que
[1:21:19]
presentó y aprecio el liderazgo
[1:21:21]
que ha promovido este asunto.
[1:21:23]
Ahora que ha pasado ahora
[1:21:25]
tenemos que asegurar los
[1:21:27]
recursos necesarios para que
[1:21:29]
tengamos éxito. Tenemos la
[1:21:31]
oportunidad de transformar
[1:21:32]
vidas y fortalecer nuestra
[1:21:35]
economía pero necesitamos
[1:21:37]
contar con los fondos para
[1:21:38]
poder corresponder con, EH, su
[1:21:41]
su posibilidad, su potencial.
[1:21:45]
Para una persona que trabaja
[1:21:47]
con una variedad de personas,
[1:21:50]
incluyendo adultos de
[1:21:51]
necesidades especiales, esta es
[1:21:53]
una iniciativa de gran impacto
[1:21:55]
y da la bienvenida a las
[1:21:57]
personas que no hayan podido
[1:21:59]
participar en esta industria.
[1:22:00]
Muchas gracias. Bueno, si es en
[1:22:08]
qué puntos quiere comentar el
[1:22:11]
22 y el comentario general un
[1:22:13]
minuto para cada uno. Gracias.
[1:22:16]
Me llamo Allison Risley y soy
[1:22:18]
la co-directora de, EH, las
[1:22:21]
viviendas comunitarias de
[1:22:23]
Bennett. Estoy pidiendo que
[1:22:25]
ustedes cumplan con su palabra.
[1:22:27]
La ciudad ha pedido que se
[1:22:29]
construya un sitio en Benes en
[1:22:32]
viviendas asequibles. Los
[1:22:37]
desarrollistas, eh, ganaron el
[1:22:39]
derecho para poder hacer esto y
[1:22:41]
se aprobaron los derechos en
[1:22:43]
2021. Y se firmó el acuerdo en
[1:22:46]
2022. La ciudad ha defendido
[1:22:48]
sus acciones en una demanda en
[1:22:52]
2023 y 2024 y la nube
[1:22:55]
representante y la nuestra
[1:22:58]
fiscal han demorado todo esto y
[1:23:01]
han inventado que la Comisión
[1:23:03]
de Transporte tiene la facultad
[1:23:05]
de revocar la decisión del
[1:23:07]
Concejo Municipal. Ahora
[1:23:08]
tenemos que pagar más de 3/4 de
[1:23:11]
1 millón de dólares para poder
[1:23:13]
luchar y obstruir la vivienda
[1:23:15]
asequible que nos aprobaron en
[1:23:17]
el primer lugar. Los
[1:23:20]
desarrollistas han continuado
[1:23:22]
haciendo todo lo que todo lo
[1:23:25]
necesario de la ciudad,
[1:23:27]
incluyendo aprobarse los
[1:23:29]
derechos. En este caso, la
[1:23:32]
ciudad es el único que no está
[1:23:33]
cumpliendo con su promesa. Si
[1:23:35]
seguimos desperdiciando,
[1:23:37]
desperdiciando más viviendas
[1:23:39]
asequibles, vamos a gastar más
[1:23:42]
dinero y necesariamente. Pero
[1:23:44]
quedamos claro, esto no es lo
[1:23:46]
que el pueblo de Los Ángeles
[1:23:48]
merece. Necesitamos más
[1:23:50]
viviendas asequibles en toda
[1:23:51]
esta ciudad. Así que pedimos
[1:23:54]
que ya basta, que ya dejen de
[1:23:57]
gastar dinero y que se opongan
[1:24:00]
a Traci Park y que les importe
[1:24:02]
la vivienda asequible y que
[1:24:07]
aseguren que se construya este
[1:24:08]
proyecto. Antes del siguiente
[1:24:12]
comentarista. Voy a llamar los
[1:24:14]
últimos cuatro nombres. Ah,
[1:24:16]
perdón, tres. Linda Lux,
[1:24:19]
Valerie Berkeley. Ah, pues son
[1:24:23]
todos. Hola. Buenos días. En
[1:24:28]
qué puntos? Buenos días.
[1:24:31]
Quisiera comentar en el 21 y 22
[1:24:33]
y luego comentario público. Dos
[1:24:35]
minutos para estos puntos y un
[1:24:37]
minuto para comentarios en
[1:24:38]
general. Entonces, eh, para el
[1:24:40]
21 y 22 Tiene que ver con las
[1:24:43]
finanzas y mi mi problema es
[1:24:46]
que cobren a la iglesia de
[1:24:50]
Cientología cualquier programa
[1:24:53]
o eh, cuentas de voluntarios o
[1:24:58]
lo que sea un fuente de
[1:25:02]
finanzas de la iglesia de
[1:25:04]
odontología es inhumano. Eso es
[1:25:06]
un culto. Así que tengan
[1:25:09]
cuidado. Media vez aceptan más
[1:25:12]
finanzas para poder ayudar a
[1:25:13]
las personas que no tienen
[1:25:14]
techo. Por favor, asegúrense
[1:25:16]
que no viene de los bolsillos
[1:25:19]
de a la iglesia de Cientología.
[1:25:24]
Ahora. Quise hablar de las y la
[1:25:26]
ontología y la táctica que se
[1:25:29]
usa en esta iglesia para
[1:25:31]
presentarse como un socio
[1:25:34]
confiable a la EH frente a las
[1:25:36]
autoridades y otras
[1:25:38]
organizaciones para ocultar su
[1:25:39]
fin eh verdadero y en
[1:25:43]
odontología pueden lograr esto
[1:25:44]
por medio de presentarse como,
[1:25:47]
eh, Caridades religiosas o
[1:25:50]
alternativas a la salud mental
[1:25:52]
en la Iglesia de San. No creen
[1:25:55]
en servicios de salud mental,
[1:25:58]
en la cientología es un culto
[1:26:01]
bien reconocido en varios
[1:26:04]
países. Espero que me escuchen.
[1:26:07]
Sé que hay muchas personas que
[1:26:08]
están hablando. Deberían
[1:26:10]
escuchar al comentario público.
[1:26:14]
En la cientología se se le
[1:26:17]
conoce como culto o un grupo de
[1:26:19]
autocontrol. En varios países y
[1:26:21]
hay ex miembros que han
[1:26:24]
documentado daños eh
[1:26:27]
extraordinarios. Y por favor no
[1:26:29]
hablen. Mientras que estoy
[1:26:30]
hablando. Siguiente. Buenos
[1:26:33]
días. Tres minutos para los
[1:26:35]
puntos y un minuto para el
[1:26:36]
comentario general. Gracias. Y
[1:26:38]
quisiera reconocer al señor Lee,
[1:26:40]
aunque me debe una disculpa
[1:26:44]
porque el único que estaba
[1:26:46]
prestando atención, pero de
[1:26:47]
igual manera debería de
[1:26:49]
perderme, pedirme perdón. En
[1:26:52]
cuanto a la celebración de la
[1:26:56]
el año nuevo, me da mucho gusto
[1:26:59]
que estén en las actas, pero
[1:27:01]
por qué no están en las actas
[1:27:03]
para que el público pueda votar
[1:27:05]
o hablar de esto? Porque en la
[1:27:10]
antología EH recibió su, eh, su
[1:27:14]
eh, la el permiso para tener su
[1:27:16]
evento. Pero es fue un
[1:27:19]
quebrantamiento porque
[1:27:19]
bloquearon la las banquetas,
[1:27:24]
pero eh confabularon con los
[1:27:27]
servicios de la calle la
[1:27:28]
policía para poder llevarlo a
[1:27:30]
cabo y es ilegal. La fiscal
[1:27:33]
debería de haber haberlo
[1:27:37]
detenido y seguro que estaría
[1:27:40]
de acuerdo. Tenemos que tener
[1:27:42]
un proceso transparente. No
[1:27:45]
deberían de cerrar tantas
[1:27:46]
calles media, un partido de USC
[1:27:49]
y este evento donde los
[1:27:53]
odontólogos están, eh,
[1:27:55]
verificando las licencias, a
[1:27:56]
ver si esos estudiantes
[1:27:57]
pertenecen a la iglesia. Y creo
[1:28:00]
que debería ser más
[1:28:02]
transparente y que se asienten
[1:28:04]
en las actas. Y estoy a punto
[1:28:08]
de aceptar su perdón. Si en el
[1:28:11]
evento de del año que viene de
[1:28:15]
odontología sale en el registro
[1:28:17]
público, porque deberíamos
[1:28:21]
poder hablar de todo esto,
[1:28:22]
Tienen todas estas demandas que
[1:28:24]
tienen que responder y deberían
[1:28:27]
de prepararse. Así que ya no
[1:28:31]
dejen, eh, permitir cosas
[1:28:34]
ilegales y. Y luego con las
[1:28:38]
calles lentas estoy a favor.
[1:28:40]
Pero también pueden ayudar al
[1:28:43]
tráfico en el Hubbard es una
[1:28:46]
calle pública, pero la iglesia
[1:28:48]
de celosía es, eh. Se hace como
[1:28:50]
si no si no lo fuera. Y es más
[1:28:54]
peligroso para los niños que
[1:28:56]
están andando en las calles o
[1:28:59]
usando sus bicicletas. Esto no
[1:29:02]
aparece en el agenda. Estoy
[1:29:03]
hablando del 21. Tiene que
[1:29:05]
hablar del 21. Bueno, en las
[1:29:08]
calles lentas tienen que
[1:29:10]
encontrar las calles lentas
[1:29:11]
para poder quitar el tráfico de
[1:29:14]
otras calles. Así todos tenemos
[1:29:17]
el mismo acceso. Si uno quiere,
[1:29:19]
eh, reducir la velocidad en una
[1:29:22]
calle y luego tenemos todas
[1:29:23]
estas otras calles excluyendo
[1:29:25]
una calle donde hay una iglesia
[1:29:27]
que permite la esclavitud. Así
[1:29:29]
que creo que es relacionado, eh?
[1:29:31]
No estoy de acuerdo con usted.
[1:29:33]
Y creo que, eh, Smokings
[1:29:35]
estaría de acuerdo conmigo.
[1:29:37]
Tenemos que tener calles más
[1:29:40]
accesibles. Y el comentario
[1:29:42]
general, Fuimos a Burbank. Es
[1:29:44]
un mundo diferente a prestar
[1:29:47]
atención. De verdad? Y lo
[1:29:49]
pueden imaginar porque después
[1:29:52]
el comentario público puede
[1:29:53]
responder a todos los ponentes
[1:29:55]
y cada uno nos dio las gracias
[1:29:59]
para eh, estar aquí y a
[1:30:03]
arriesgar nuestra seguridad y
[1:30:06]
nuestra reputación porque nos
[1:30:08]
quieren destruir. Y uno de los
[1:30:12]
concejales nos dijo que esto es
[1:30:14]
tan diferente en Los Ángeles,
[1:30:16]
pero comentó que vinieron acá
[1:30:20]
para hablar con ustedes y nadie
[1:30:22]
estaba prestando atención. Y
[1:30:23]
esto fue un concejal de otra
[1:30:26]
ciudad cercana. Todo el mundo
[1:30:29]
estaba en los teléfonos y
[1:30:32]
estaban hablando entre ustedes.
[1:30:33]
Por lo menos el señor Lee está
[1:30:35]
haciendo un esfuerzo y todavía
[1:30:37]
me debe una disculpa. Y también
[1:30:40]
usted, señor fiscal. Y el
[1:30:42]
Presidente. Se le acabó su
[1:30:45]
tiempo. Siguiente comentarista.
[1:30:47]
Antes. Siguiente comentarista.
[1:30:49]
Tengo unos nombres más. Edgar
[1:30:53]
Alejandro Aguilar y Scan.
[1:30:57]
Buenos días. En qué puntos
[1:30:58]
quiere comentar el comentario
[1:31:00]
general? Un minuto. Gracias.
[1:31:02]
Buenos días al concejal. Me
[1:31:04]
llamo Valerie Berkley, soy una
[1:31:06]
directora de políticas y
[1:31:08]
quisiera comentar en el número
[1:31:11]
nueve en la Cámara de Comercio.
[1:31:13]
Está en contra de esta
[1:31:15]
estructura de una prohibición
[1:31:17]
de SIN de los cargos sin
[1:31:21]
efectivos. Es algo que habíamos
[1:31:24]
creado durante la pandemia y
[1:31:26]
ahora tendríamos que gastar
[1:31:28]
dinero para crear otra
[1:31:30]
estructura. Esto también es más
[1:31:32]
seguro porque puede prevenir el
[1:31:34]
fraude. Aunque estamos de
[1:31:36]
acuerdo de la equidad y la
[1:31:38]
inclusión, esto ignora lo obvio
[1:31:41]
que estamos enfrentando como
[1:31:44]
negocios. Así que pedimos que
[1:31:46]
el Consejo trabaje de manera
[1:31:49]
colaborativa con la industria
[1:31:50]
comercial sin tener que eh
[1:31:53]
hacer alguna concesión en
[1:31:54]
ninguna parte. Gracias. Buenos
[1:32:05]
días al concejal. Me llamo
[1:32:07]
Linda Lux. Trabajo con la
[1:32:11]
vivienda comunitaria de Venus y
[1:32:13]
he trabajado, he vivido y
[1:32:15]
trabajado en Venus desde los
[1:32:18]
años 70. Necesitamos viviendas
[1:32:20]
asequibles y la ciudad ha
[1:32:22]
gastado, eh, miles de dólares
[1:32:24]
para, eh, oponerse al proyecto
[1:32:26]
de Venus. Y ya se aprobó en el
[1:32:29]
Concejo Municipal. Ahora van a
[1:32:32]
gastar más de 700.000 $ para
[1:32:35]
seguir luchando contra esto. Es
[1:32:38]
que. Es que este es, eh. Tiene
[1:32:43]
un mal aspecto. Luce mal. Todos
[1:32:46]
estamos a favor de esto. Por
[1:32:47]
favor, dejen de desperdiciar
[1:32:49]
tanto dinero para contratar
[1:32:52]
abogados y luchar contra las
[1:32:54]
viviendas asequibles. También
[1:32:56]
están arriesgando perder la
[1:32:59]
designación a favor de estas
[1:33:01]
viviendas que nos otorgó las el
[1:33:04]
el Estado. Sé que no quieren
[1:33:06]
arriesgar todo eso, así que
[1:33:08]
tengan mucho cuidado con votar
[1:33:11]
en este punto. Gracias. Buenos
[1:33:18]
días. Gracias. Cuáles temas
[1:33:20]
quiere hablar? Comentario
[1:33:22]
público. Tiene un minuto?
[1:33:23]
Adelante. Buenos días,
[1:33:27]
concejales. Yo soy Edward
[1:33:29]
Recinos. Antes trabajaba en
[1:33:30]
Wingstop, pero este mes me
[1:33:34]
echaron del trabajo. Antes de
[1:33:36]
eso, expedimos una queja porque
[1:33:41]
fuimos expuestos a peligros de
[1:33:46]
quemaduras y forzados a
[1:33:47]
trabajar mientras teniendo
[1:33:49]
COVID. Y no solamente eso, sino
[1:33:50]
que una vez uno de los
[1:33:52]
encargados vinieron a trabajar
[1:33:55]
bajo los efectos de alcohol.
[1:33:58]
Entonces mi empleador no se
[1:34:01]
concentró en arreglar los
[1:34:03]
problemas y en lugar de eso
[1:34:05]
ellos. Nos acosaban con tomar
[1:34:11]
revancha. Yo creo que fui
[1:34:14]
despedido por ejercer mis
[1:34:15]
derechos y ser un miembro del
[1:34:17]
sindicato de trabajo. Estoy
[1:34:18]
aquí una vez más pidiendo que
[1:34:20]
ustedes apoyen la ordenanza de
[1:34:24]
comida de trabajo de los
[1:34:27]
trabajos de comida rápida.
[1:34:31]
Antes del siguiente orador, voy
[1:34:33]
a llamar a algunos nombres a
[1:34:36]
Drew, Tim, Judy y Kendra, que.
[1:34:41]
Buenos días. De cuáles temas
[1:34:43]
quiere hablar? Buenos días. Voy
[1:34:45]
a. Voy a dar un comentario
[1:34:48]
público. Tiene un minuto?
[1:34:50]
Adelante. Yo soy Alejandra. Yo
[1:34:52]
soy miembro del Sindicato de
[1:34:54]
Trabajadores de Comida Rápida.
[1:34:56]
Trabajo para Taco Bell en el
[1:34:58]
distrito ocho. Estamos cansados
[1:35:01]
del maltrato. Necesitamos
[1:35:03]
herramientas para proteger a
[1:35:05]
nosotros y cada uno. Trabajo en
[1:35:07]
Taco Bell y archivé una queja
[1:35:10]
después de que me persiguió
[1:35:12]
detrás del contador del
[1:35:15]
mostrador. Un hombre quien me
[1:35:17]
estaba acosando sexualmente.
[1:35:20]
Nunca nos conseguimos
[1:35:21]
entrenamiento para cómo
[1:35:22]
protegernos. Y en el momento,
[1:35:24]
agarré un cortador de pizza
[1:35:25]
para defenderme. Deberíamos
[1:35:28]
haber tener un botón de pánico
[1:35:30]
que funciona o un plan de
[1:35:32]
evacuación. Pero en lugar de
[1:35:33]
eso, cuando yo hablé sobre lo
[1:35:35]
que pasó, me. Me cortaron las
[1:35:36]
horas y me trasladaron a otra
[1:35:39]
tienda. Los trabajadores de
[1:35:41]
comida rápida tienen que saber
[1:35:42]
sus derechos y entrenamiento de
[1:35:45]
cómo ejercerlo para ejecutar
[1:35:47]
todas las leyes juntos en cómo
[1:35:49]
protegernos, no mantenerlos a
[1:35:53]
nosotros en silencio. Buenos
[1:36:04]
días. De cuáles temas quiere
[1:36:06]
hablar? Esto va a ser para
[1:36:07]
comentario general. Tiene un
[1:36:09]
minuto? Hola, buenos días.
[1:36:10]
Estoy aquí para hablarnos de la
[1:36:12]
necesidad de pasar la ordenanza
[1:36:13]
de comida rápido. Yo soy
[1:36:15]
barista y capitán de Starbucks,
[1:36:17]
Los Ángeles de Miracle Mile
[1:36:19]
Starbucks. Le gusta decir que
[1:36:20]
ofrece los mejores trabajos en
[1:36:22]
retail porque pueden cantar una
[1:36:24]
canción con pasión y como otros
[1:36:26]
gigantes, Starbucks prefiere
[1:36:27]
crear desorden y destrucción en
[1:36:29]
la vida de los trabajadores y
[1:36:30]
significa que ven crecimiento.
[1:36:33]
Como muchos trabajadores saben,
[1:36:34]
en septiembre puede salir el
[1:36:37]
miércoles con horarios para la
[1:36:38]
siguiente dos semanas para
[1:36:39]
venir el miércoles y ver que la
[1:36:41]
tienda se cierra
[1:36:42]
permanentemente ese sábado sin
[1:36:44]
línea de tiempo. Si la empresa
[1:36:45]
va a pedir que vuelvan al
[1:36:47]
trabajo, la realidad es que
[1:36:48]
muchos de nosotros enfrentamos
[1:36:50]
es un lugar no bien financiado,
[1:36:52]
con 20 horas por semana,
[1:36:54]
arriesgar a perder su seguro y
[1:36:56]
otros beneficios, además de ser
[1:36:58]
requerido para tener 150% de
[1:37:01]
disponibilidad. Por estas
[1:37:02]
razones, pido que paren con
[1:37:05]
trabajadores de comida rápido
[1:37:06]
para apoyar a nuestras familias,
[1:37:08]
mantener las empresas
[1:37:10]
responsables y asegurar que la
[1:37:11]
ordenanza se apruebe sin más
[1:37:13]
demora. Gracias. Buenos días.
[1:37:20]
De cuáles temas quiere hablar?
[1:37:22]
Comentario general y 22 Tiene
[1:37:25]
un minuto para el tema y un
[1:37:27]
minuto para general. Hola, yo
[1:37:28]
soy Judy Braverman. Estoy aquí
[1:37:31]
para pedir que voten en contra
[1:37:32]
de asignar todo el dinero para
[1:37:35]
pelear en el comunidad.
[1:37:38]
Proyecto disponible. Estoy aquí
[1:37:40]
para dar contexto. Aunque mucha
[1:37:42]
gente ni siquiera está
[1:37:43]
escuchando. Hace dos años, yo y
[1:37:49]
otros miembros de Venice
[1:37:50]
hicimos un proyecto de. Estudio
[1:37:55]
y artes tomando fotos de todos
[1:37:57]
los edificios, más de 300 que
[1:37:59]
los sacaron del mercado de
[1:38:01]
Venice usando el la ley Benes.
[1:38:06]
Les dimos casi 1400 unidades
[1:38:09]
sacadas del mercado que no
[1:38:12]
incluyó miles removidos por
[1:38:15]
Airbnb y cienes y cienes
[1:38:18]
removidos por acoso de
[1:38:22]
propietario a los inquilinos. Y
[1:38:24]
como ustedes saben, en la
[1:38:26]
ciudad más de 30.000 unidades
[1:38:27]
se han perdido. O sea, el
[1:38:29]
solamente comentario general.
[1:38:31]
Gracias. Ustedes saben,
[1:38:36]
continuando esta pelea por una
[1:38:39]
razón loca, no solamente están
[1:38:41]
creando falta de vivienda, sino
[1:38:44]
que gastando nuestro dinero
[1:38:47]
precioso de impuestos para
[1:38:48]
resolver el problema. La
[1:38:51]
solución es vivienda económica,
[1:38:55]
construcción y aún prevenir
[1:38:57]
desalojamientos y falta de
[1:39:00]
vivienda a través de ULA y
[1:39:02]
otras medidas. Entonces hablen
[1:39:04]
de sus compromisos. No hablé
[1:39:11]
aquí mucho en mucho tiempo,
[1:39:13]
pero es una falta de respeto
[1:39:14]
ver cuánta gente está hablando
[1:39:16]
y cuántos miembros del Consejo
[1:39:18]
ni siquiera están escuchando.
[1:39:19]
Es triste. Gracias por votar en
[1:39:22]
contra de 22. Buenos días a mis
[1:39:29]
15 personas favoritas. Buenos
[1:39:31]
días. Todos los temas y
[1:39:32]
comentarios en general. Buenos
[1:39:33]
días. Yo me anoté para como
[1:39:37]
Drew. Timmy, quiero hablar para
[1:39:39]
21, 22, 23 y comentario general.
[1:39:42]
Tiene tres minutos para los
[1:39:43]
temas y un minuto para general.
[1:39:45]
Primero quiero preguntar.
[1:39:47]
Llegué tarde, pero John Lee se
[1:39:49]
recluyó para el tema 22. Le va
[1:39:56]
a ahorrar un poco de vergüenza
[1:39:57]
porque se tiene que retrasar.
[1:40:00]
El estuvo usando este estudio
[1:40:02]
para sus esfuerzos de defensa
[1:40:04]
legal. Escuché que lo están
[1:40:08]
pasando por no pagar sus
[1:40:11]
facturas. Pero después del
[1:40:13]
informe del tercer trimestre,
[1:40:15]
todavía le debe a Newsom
[1:40:18]
4.000 $. Parece ser un interés
[1:40:21]
financiero requiriendo
[1:40:23]
reclusión Growth. Hablando de
[1:40:26]
sus deudas, le preguntas a
[1:40:27]
todos aquí que consideren
[1:40:29]
hablar a su cuenta de campaña o
[1:40:32]
cuentas de defensa legal entre
[1:40:33]
esos dos y la multa que pagó en
[1:40:35]
diciembre con la Comisión Ética
[1:40:37]
queda en deuda a 329.000 $. Y
[1:40:41]
esa figura seguramente se va a
[1:40:43]
aumentar al final de la semana,
[1:40:45]
cuando nos enteramos cuánto él
[1:40:46]
consiguió en facturas legales
[1:40:48]
en el último trimestre. Es
[1:40:51]
increíble ver como Heidi sigue
[1:40:53]
volviendo para más dinero para
[1:40:54]
el consejo de afuera que
[1:40:56]
comenzó el punto 9 millones. Y
[1:41:02]
luego ella recibió otro medio
[1:41:04]
millón y ahora está buscando
[1:41:06]
1.8 millones. Algunos de
[1:41:09]
ustedes conocieron mi perro Rex.
[1:41:11]
Muy tierno. Debo demostrar que
[1:41:14]
es muy buena suerte. La mitad
[1:41:16]
de los concejales que lo
[1:41:17]
conocieron han sido elegidos.
[1:41:19]
Él sabe que solamente tiene un
[1:41:22]
regalo después de que come su
[1:41:24]
comida. Si lo come
[1:41:25]
inmediatamente,
[1:41:27]
independientemente lo que hace
[1:41:28]
después, cuando come, viene y
[1:41:30]
se sienta al lado mío pidiendo
[1:41:34]
más. You gonna come back.
[1:41:41]
Aunque yo le dé esos todos los
[1:41:43]
días, le tengo que rechazar. Él
[1:41:46]
sabe las reglas. No es su culpa.
[1:41:47]
Es un perro. Pero si yo puedo
[1:41:49]
rechazar sus pedidos de vuelta
[1:41:55]
repetida. Yo pido que ustedes
[1:41:57]
le pregunten a Heidi. Le pidan
[1:41:58]
que haga Heidi, haga lo mismo.
[1:42:01]
21 es un evento de Año nuevo
[1:42:03]
para Highland Park. Tiene una
[1:42:06]
maldición este año. Saben lo
[1:42:08]
que va a pasar en los próximos
[1:42:10]
nueve meses? Va a ser un
[1:42:11]
desastre el presupuesto y va a
[1:42:12]
tener que iniciar la votación
[1:42:14]
de guerras y navegar todas las
[1:42:17]
medidas de generar ganancias.
[1:42:20]
Mientras, viendo que tenemos
[1:42:21]
que hacer conyugal ahí vamos a
[1:42:23]
tener un primario pasando y las
[1:42:26]
últimas van a tener que hacer
[1:42:27]
propuestas de la comisión de
[1:42:29]
Karen. Es todo es posible, pero
[1:42:31]
lo que no se puede funcionar es
[1:42:32]
operar bajo esto, donde dos
[1:42:34]
personas en este edificio
[1:42:36]
controlan y caminan rápido con
[1:42:39]
todo lo que tenemos ahí. Por
[1:42:40]
eso vine aquí la semana pasada.
[1:42:42]
Le pedí que se comuniquen con
[1:42:44]
la Comisión de Estatuto para
[1:42:46]
que no tengan un desastre ante
[1:42:48]
ustedes. Y ahora quiero hablar
[1:42:50]
sobre la conversación de ayer
[1:42:52]
de Comunicaciones Ex-parte.
[1:42:54]
Creo que el concejal
[1:42:55]
Blumenfield fue un poco de una
[1:42:57]
diva con su voto en contra.
[1:42:58]
Pero tiene razón sobre la falta
[1:43:01]
de experiencia de esta comisión,
[1:43:03]
hecho peor por el Presidente,
[1:43:06]
poniendo al Comisario con más
[1:43:08]
expediente. De hecho peor con
[1:43:09]
el hecho de que los empleados
[1:43:11]
que eligieron no tienen nada de
[1:43:16]
conocimiento de la ciudad. Es
[1:43:18]
importante que ustedes estén
[1:43:19]
hablando con los comisarios. Yo
[1:43:21]
no quiero tener percepción que
[1:43:24]
los van a criticar por
[1:43:25]
hablarles a ellos. Yo los voy a
[1:43:27]
criticar a ustedes. Si yo me
[1:43:28]
entero que ustedes y sus
[1:43:30]
empleados les están hablando,
[1:43:32]
entonces háganlo. Por último,
[1:43:39]
quiero notar algo del
[1:43:41]
presidente Raymond Mesa Jr. Uno
[1:43:43]
de los personas más deshonestas
[1:43:47]
traicioneras que he visto en
[1:43:49]
este edificio. Tenga mucho
[1:43:51]
cuidado cuando las palabras
[1:43:52]
salen de su boca. Siguiente
[1:43:55]
comentarista. Vamos a llamar
[1:43:59]
otros nombres antes de este
[1:44:00]
orador. Linda Hamilton. Siva,
[1:44:06]
Susan Oomen, Sylvia y formen.
[1:44:15]
Yo soy Helen Peck. Estoy aquí
[1:44:17]
hablando para temas 22 y
[1:44:18]
comentario general. Un minuto
[1:44:20]
para el tema. Un minuto para el
[1:44:22]
general. La pregunta en
[1:44:25]
totalidad es. Se demuestra. Es
[1:44:28]
que yo no sé si es que los
[1:44:30]
ángeles se puede gobernar.
[1:44:34]
Antes era un joven y tenía idea,
[1:44:36]
era idealista. Yo viví en los
[1:44:39]
canales de Venus por 40 años ya.
[1:44:42]
Yo amo los ángeles, amo venís?
[1:44:49]
Pero mira lo que está pasando,
[1:44:51]
que vamos a tener unas
[1:44:53]
olimpiadas aquí construyendo un
[1:44:55]
centro de convención o que
[1:44:58]
nosotros vamos a tener el
[1:45:00]
Mundial aquí. Yo no sé si
[1:45:04]
ninguna de esas cosas van a
[1:45:05]
suceder y si van a suceder bien.
[1:45:07]
Y esto de lo que estamos
[1:45:10]
hablando ahora es un buen
[1:45:12]
dibujo de las tareas que
[1:45:15]
nosotros tenemos para tratar de
[1:45:17]
hacer cosas. He estado
[1:45:20]
trabajando en este proyecto
[1:45:21]
como voluntario por 7U8 años y
[1:45:26]
esto es el proyecto de Dennis.
[1:45:30]
Tuvimos grandes esperanzas hace
[1:45:33]
siete años yo estaba aquí, el
[1:45:35]
Consejo Municipal unánimemente
[1:45:38]
aprobó utilizando propiedad de
[1:45:40]
la ciudad para que no haya
[1:45:41]
costo de adquisición y
[1:45:44]
construir casas económicas. No
[1:45:48]
había cuestión que nosotros
[1:45:50]
necesitábamos eso. Pero lo que
[1:45:51]
pasó ahora, siete, ocho años
[1:45:53]
después, es virtualmente nada.
[1:45:56]
Hemos hecho todo correctamente.
[1:45:59]
Tuvimos varias reuniones de la
[1:46:01]
comunidad. Cada batalla de la
[1:46:05]
corte en la cual estuvimos
[1:46:07]
involucrados, la ganamos y
[1:46:09]
volvimos aquí de nuevo y no
[1:46:11]
hubo ni una pala trabajando en
[1:46:14]
los últimos siete años. En
[1:46:16]
algún momento alguien tiene que
[1:46:18]
decir que tenemos que resolver
[1:46:19]
esto, que tenemos que moverlo
[1:46:21]
adelante y son ustedes quienes
[1:46:26]
los que tienen que hacerlo y
[1:46:27]
estamos contando con ustedes.
[1:46:29]
Por favor, hagan su trabajo.
[1:46:31]
Por favor, asegúrense de que
[1:46:34]
los ángeles completa sus
[1:46:37]
trabajos. Se le acabó su tiempo.
[1:46:40]
Muchas gracias. Hola. Buenos
[1:46:44]
días. De cuáles temas quiere
[1:46:46]
hablar? Quiero hablar que esta
[1:46:53]
semana pasada. Hasta ahora,
[1:46:55]
están involucrados con uno de
[1:46:58]
los congresos de empoderamiento,
[1:47:01]
mayormente en el Centro Los
[1:47:03]
Ángeles. Me dio. Más
[1:47:07]
profundidad sobre los problemas
[1:47:09]
que enfrenta los ángeles, las
[1:47:11]
actitudes y las opiniones
[1:47:13]
constructivas y las métodos de
[1:47:16]
cooperación que están afectando
[1:47:19]
en el diálogo y el Curso,
[1:47:22]
reflejando mi visión y
[1:47:25]
participación con estos
[1:47:28]
congresos, con todos ustedes,
[1:47:31]
yo espero poder construir un
[1:47:36]
centro que asegura esta
[1:47:40]
necesidad de afirmación mutual
[1:47:42]
en proyectos no centralizados
[1:47:44]
para. Lanzamiento. Auto
[1:47:50]
engrandecimiento. Y es eso
[1:47:54]
nomás. Que tengan un lindo día.
[1:47:57]
Buenos días. Cuáles temas
[1:47:59]
quiere hablar? Buenos días.
[1:48:01]
Quiere hablar para Comentario
[1:48:02]
público general y tema 22.
[1:48:05]
Tiene un minuto para el tema y
[1:48:07]
un minuto para general. Hola,
[1:48:09]
yo soy Elvia Arroz y yo soy
[1:48:12]
residente de Venice. Hace mucho
[1:48:14]
tiempo hice una copia para
[1:48:16]
todos ustedes. El artículo
[1:48:20]
diciendo que Los Ángeles está
[1:48:22]
teniendo ellos mismos si los
[1:48:24]
pueden distribuir para mí,
[1:48:27]
según Jessie, estoy de acuerdo.
[1:48:29]
Este problema se vuelve a los
[1:48:34]
1960 cuando crecimiento ha
[1:48:37]
crecido. Se puso con políticos,
[1:48:40]
política agresiva. Un consenso
[1:48:41]
tomó raíz de que construir
[1:48:43]
menos casas es mejor en
[1:48:45]
momentos de crisis como tenemos
[1:48:48]
ahora. En esta situación
[1:48:50]
necesitamos líderes, quienes
[1:48:51]
van a ser decisiones difíciles
[1:48:53]
lo hacen porque lo declararon
[1:48:55]
una prioridad top y actuaron
[1:48:59]
adecuadamente. Las ciudades se
[1:49:02]
cometieron sabotaje automático.
[1:49:05]
A ellos. El tema es que si
[1:49:08]
estamos dispuestos o
[1:49:10]
disponibles a decir que sí. Que
[1:49:14]
decirles que sí, no gastando
[1:49:16]
millones de dólares tratando de
[1:49:20]
impedir a ellos tratando de ser
[1:49:25]
constituyentes. Buenos días. De
[1:49:30]
cuáles temas quiere hablar?
[1:49:34]
Comentario público y 22 Antes
[1:49:37]
de comenzar, puede tomar
[1:49:39]
libertad en ajustar el
[1:49:41]
micrófono si quiere. Buenos
[1:49:45]
días. Yo soy Susan Millman. Yo
[1:49:50]
soy residente de Venice y
[1:49:53]
propietario. Penny necesita
[1:49:55]
vivienda económica. Todos
[1:49:57]
podemos estar de acuerdo con
[1:49:58]
eso casi todos los días. Los
[1:50:03]
papeles y los elegidos declaran
[1:50:05]
que Los Ángeles necesita
[1:50:09]
vivienda para sus 40.000
[1:50:13]
personas sin vivienda. Justo
[1:50:15]
ayer en el Times. Dicen que Los
[1:50:22]
Ángeles está cometiendo
[1:50:23]
sabotaje para vivienda. Y le
[1:50:26]
echó la culpa a esto. Y le echó
[1:50:31]
la culpa a su necesidad para
[1:50:33]
vivienda. Para A falta política
[1:50:37]
e voluntad política. Por esa
[1:50:41]
razón, Benes aprobó el proyecto
[1:50:45]
del. Dos veces. La Comisión
[1:50:49]
Costal le dio esto. Le costó
[1:50:56]
nada al Fondo General de la
[1:50:58]
Ciudad. Bienestar son de in
[1:51:04]
gresos de vivienda y da 120
[1:51:08]
unidades a miembros de las
[1:51:10]
familias sin vivienda que de
[1:51:12]
otra manera estarían en la
[1:51:13]
calle. Y sin embargo, después
[1:51:16]
de una década en desarrollo,
[1:51:19]
usted busca 760.000 $ para
[1:51:24]
pelear para este proyecto. Todo
[1:51:26]
para satisfacer una
[1:51:29]
contingencia local de Nimbys.
[1:51:33]
Quienes han perdido dos casos
[1:51:34]
de la corte tratando de
[1:51:37]
bloquearlo. La solicitud es
[1:51:39]
ridícula. Es un gasto y es
[1:51:43]
inmoral. Lo tienen que rechazar.
[1:51:54]
Buenos días. De cuarentena
[1:51:56]
quiero hablar. Comentario
[1:52:00]
público. Esto es como una
[1:52:05]
repetición. Pero por razón de
[1:52:10]
cuál? Nuestro consejo municipal.
[1:52:13]
Si no? Los payasos pusieron en
[1:52:15]
bancarrota a la ciudad. Dándole
[1:52:16]
1.000.000.000 de aumento a las
[1:52:18]
policías. Hay cero temas como
[1:52:21]
normal en la agenda, los cuales
[1:52:23]
para realmente gastar algo un
[1:52:26]
presupuesto de emergencia de
[1:52:28]
1.000.000.000 de dólares,
[1:52:29]
payasos incompetentes, miles de
[1:52:32]
problemas de falta de vivienda
[1:52:35]
275. Billones en daños de
[1:52:40]
incendios, emergencia, payasos
[1:52:43]
incompetentes. Como saben, el
[1:52:45]
Presidente. En el distrito ocho
[1:52:49]
Tasa de desempleo más alto en
[1:52:51]
Distrito ocho en todo el país.
[1:52:53]
Más de 12.5% falta de vivienda
[1:52:56]
y encarcelamiento. Pero también
[1:52:59]
formalmente, Protesto.
[1:53:00]
Cualquier cosa fuera de lo que
[1:53:02]
se tiene que hacer. El general,
[1:53:05]
el fiscal general, el FBI y
[1:53:08]
comentarista. Se le acabó su
[1:53:11]
tiempo. Se llamaron todos sus
[1:53:16]
nombres para el comentario
[1:53:17]
público. Muchas gracias a

para los comentarios del señor
[1:57:36]
Blumenfield. Señor Blumenfield,
[1:57:38]
muchas gracias. En el número
[1:57:40]
cinco hay muchos residentes del
[1:57:43]
oeste del Valle que tienen
[1:57:44]
muchas preocupaciones sobre una
[1:57:47]
construcción cerca de un
[1:57:48]
Country Club y está cerca de un
[1:57:52]
lugar con un mayor riesgo de
[1:57:55]
incendios. Aunque tenemos, eh,
[1:57:57]
nuestra propia discreción de
[1:57:59]
cambiar de zonas o algo así,
[1:58:01]
pero necesitamos un informe
[1:58:03]
completo del impacto
[1:58:05]
medioambiental. Pero se permite
[1:58:07]
acelerar este proyecto para que
[1:58:10]
se apruebe. Eh, eh, sin, sin
[1:58:14]
sicua y sin discreción de este
[1:58:18]
Concejo, a pesar de ser más de
[1:58:20]
400 viviendas en EH en en
[1:58:26]
calles de que tiene forma de
[1:58:29]
culebra, Pero eso es una
[1:58:33]
advertencia a todos ustedes.
[1:58:35]
Quiere decir que según esta ley
[1:58:37]
estatal puede pasar en
[1:58:38]
cualquiera de los distritos y
[1:58:41]
eso está pasando en nuestro
[1:58:43]
distrito y puede presentar un
[1:58:47]
peligro verdadero para muchas
[1:58:48]
personas, y es un ejemplo de
[1:58:50]
las consecuencias de los las
[1:58:53]
leyes estatales que se
[1:58:54]
aprobaron. Supuestamente esta
[1:58:58]
es una solicitud incompleta
[1:59:02]
porque no se entregarán.
[1:59:03]
Entregarnos todos los
[1:59:05]
documentos, pero vamos a usar
[1:59:09]
cualquier herramienta que
[1:59:11]
tengamos para poder detener eh
[1:59:15]
este trámite para poder
[1:59:16]
permitir un análisis completo
[1:59:18]
en. Gracias a la Junta que ha
[1:59:22]
expresado su inquietud acerca
[1:59:24]
de este proyecto. En cuanto a
[1:59:26]
este proyecto y pienso trabajar
[1:59:31]
con los senadores estatales
[1:59:33]
para poder abordar este asunto
[1:59:36]
y el señor Stern ha indicado
[1:59:37]
que tenemos unos unos proyectos
[1:59:40]
de leyes que limitan estos eh
[1:59:43]
estos informes de impacto y AP
[1:59:46]
20 11 es un gran proyecto de
[1:59:48]
ley. Me gusta y la intención es
[1:59:52]
buena. Pero lo que ha pasado es
[1:59:54]
que hay proyectos de ley
[1:59:56]
subsecuentes a ese que ha
[1:59:57]
cambiado definiciones en el
[1:59:58]
pasado año y en este caso es
[2:00:02]
tan fácil construir esos
[2:00:05]
apartamentos en en estos
[2:00:07]
lugares y según el proyecto de
[2:00:10]
ley original se permitía en un
[2:00:13]
corredor comercial, pero en el
[2:00:15]
proyecto de ley se cambió la
[2:00:17]
definición de lo que es un
[2:00:18]
corredor comercial. Entonces en
[2:00:21]
Córdoba, simplemente por la EH,
[2:00:24]
la anchura de este de las
[2:00:27]
calles se considera un corredor
[2:00:30]
comercial. Y no es verdad. Eso
[2:00:34]
es algo que puede pasar en los
[2:00:38]
departamentos eh asequibles en
[2:00:39]
el sur de Los Ángeles, eh en la
[2:00:42]
policía es algo que va a seguir
[2:00:44]
pasando. Esa es una. Esa es una
[2:00:48]
advertencia para todos ustedes.
[2:00:49]
Así que por medio de este punto,
[2:00:52]
podemos construir más claridad
[2:00:54]
de de nuestra fiscalía eh
[2:00:58]
Municipal sobre lo que son, eh,
[2:01:01]
estas zonas de alto riesgo y si
[2:01:03]
tenemos alguna facultad para
[2:01:05]
oponerse a esta propuesta,
[2:01:08]
Básicamente es una instrucción
[2:01:09]
para que nuestros departamentos
[2:01:11]
empiecen a trabajar en este
[2:01:13]
asunto, Ojalá por medio de las
[2:01:15]
amenazas de incendios nos da un
[2:01:17]
poco de eh, de control, pero no
[2:01:19]
lo sé, Ojalá por medio de un
[2:01:22]
análisis podamos encontrar más,
[2:01:25]
eh, soluciones. Así que es por
[2:01:27]
eso que pido que voten. Sí en
[2:01:28]
este punto. Gracias. Vamos a
[2:01:33]
votar. Y el conteo de votos? 14
[2:01:37]
votos a favor. Ahora, el señor
[2:01:40]
Lee, antes del siguiente punto.
[2:01:44]
Bueno, eh, Con mucha canción.
[2:01:47]
Me voy a recusar del punto 22.
[2:01:49]
Sé que es un asunto de sesión
[2:01:53]
cerrada. Señor Kwan. Eso es su
[2:01:58]
primera amonestación. Ahora
[2:02:03]
podemos continuar al número
[2:02:05]
nueve, que es un punto especial,
[2:02:08]
según la señora Rodríguez, que
[2:02:09]
ha presentado una modificación
[2:02:11]
y hacer colada. Así que vamos a
[2:02:14]
votar. Y el conteo de votos? 14
[2:02:15]
votos a favor. Que sigue? Ahora
[2:02:18]
podemos continuar al 11. Es un
[2:02:20]
punto especial según el señor
[2:02:22]
Blumenfield, para dar
[2:02:23]
comentarios y presentar una
[2:02:25]
modificación ya presentada.
[2:02:26]
Señor Blumenfield. Creo que es
[2:02:31]
importante usar las viviendas
[2:02:35]
compartidas y he tenido mucho
[2:02:36]
éxito con las viviendas
[2:02:38]
compartidas. Es más eficaz
[2:02:42]
financieramente y he usado mis
[2:02:45]
fondos discrecionales para una
[2:02:46]
organización que se llama share
[2:02:48]
y CLS proporciona 1.700 $ de
[2:02:51]
asistencia de vivienda. Pero
[2:02:53]
tenemos que superar el desafío
[2:02:55]
para para encontrar unidades
[2:02:57]
que aceptan este monto máximo.
[2:03:01]
Aunque las viviendas
[2:03:02]
compartidas. Por ejemplo,
[2:03:03]
cuatro personas que van a
[2:03:05]
compartir una una vivienda de
[2:03:08]
dos recámaras, podemos hacer
[2:03:12]
que alcance nuestro dinero más.
[2:03:14]
Así que podemos pagar, eh, por
[2:03:18]
una venta que que puede cubrir
[2:03:21]
las necesidades de cuatro
[2:03:23]
personas. Lo que pasa es que el
[2:03:25]
condado tiene un, eh, viviendas
[2:03:28]
que están tomando los
[2:03:30]
tomándolas todos. Y acabo de
[2:03:32]
escuchar de otro proyecto que
[2:03:33]
está pasando en mi distrito
[2:03:34]
ahora mismo. Trabajamos duro
[2:03:36]
con Edwin. Empezamos ese
[2:03:38]
proyecto sigue en marcha y
[2:03:40]
queremos llevar a locales a
[2:03:43]
este nuevo apartamento y el
[2:03:45]
condado dice que tenemos los
[2:03:46]
fondos y como la ciudad no lo
[2:03:48]
tiene, está moviendo toda la
[2:03:50]
gente de todo el condado. Estos
[2:03:52]
apartamentos. Eso es un un gran
[2:03:55]
problema. Es por eso que ha
[2:03:57]
agregado Edwin. Y creo que
[2:03:58]
condado debería ser más
[2:04:00]
responsables en compartir los
[2:04:02]
recursos para la ciudad. Quién
[2:04:05]
es el agente que está creando
[2:04:07]
estas viviendas? Tenemos que
[2:04:10]
defender esas viviendas y
[2:04:12]
corresponder nuestros
[2:04:13]
residentes con estas viviendas
[2:04:16]
disponibles. Entonces,
[2:04:20]
supuestamente me dijeron que ya
[2:04:22]
existe y que no necesitamos
[2:04:24]
esta modificación. Pero cada
[2:04:26]
vez que intento aplicarla me
[2:04:28]
dicen que no, que no se puede
[2:04:30]
usar. Entonces eso es para que
[2:04:32]
quede claro que podemos usar
[2:04:34]
CLS Y así es, así de simple.
[2:04:37]
Gracias, Gracias. Y ahora la
[2:04:41]
concejal Rodríguez. Gracias,
[2:04:44]
señor Blumenfield. Y por esa
[2:04:46]
explicación. Nomás he, eh.
[2:04:53]
Nomás quería comentar que una
[2:04:54]
de las inquietudes que tenía de
[2:04:56]
CLS es después de una de las
[2:04:58]
auditorías originales en LASA y
[2:05:01]
el uso de tierras y la
[2:05:03]
combinación de fondos que nos
[2:05:05]
ha llamado la atención en
[2:05:06]
cuanto a nuestras inquietudes
[2:05:09]
sobre cómo se maneja y cómo se
[2:05:11]
administra. Pero con respecto a
[2:05:13]
cómo se aplica a nuestro
[2:05:16]
cumplimiento del Acuerdo de
[2:05:17]
Alliance. Una cosa que quería
[2:05:20]
mencionar y quería que ustedes
[2:05:22]
presten atención porque creo
[2:05:24]
que es algo que se va a
[2:05:27]
administrar en el Departamento
[2:05:29]
de Vivienda. Se trata de de
[2:05:32]
cómo se puede aplicar y tengo
[2:05:36]
esa inquietud porque hemos
[2:05:37]
vivido la distribución
[2:05:40]
inequitativa. Es en las
[2:05:41]
operaciones de Inside Safe.
[2:05:43]
Entonces quiero asegurar que la
[2:05:45]
manera en que se aborda y que
[2:05:48]
accede es disponible para todos
[2:05:50]
los distritos de del Consejo.
[2:05:52]
Para poder abordar a los
[2:05:56]
campamentos que existen en cada
[2:05:57]
uno de nuestros distritos. Y lo
[2:06:01]
menciono porque todos deberían
[2:06:04]
estar cuidadoso, eh cuidadosos
[2:06:07]
de lo que eh de estos recursos
[2:06:10]
y cómo aplican. Así que no
[2:06:12]
debería ser un sistema de
[2:06:15]
recompensa política para poder
[2:06:17]
abusar de lo que, eh de las
[2:06:20]
oportunidades. Y es algo que ya
[2:06:21]
hemos visto en este proceso.
[2:06:23]
Queremos que estemos atentos a
[2:06:27]
cómo se distribuye y dónde se
[2:06:29]
distribuye y cómo uno puede
[2:06:31]
accederlo. También quisiera dar
[2:06:33]
las gracias al CEO. Sé que ha
[2:06:35]
sido parte del programa del
[2:06:36]
plan que nos ha ayudado en
[2:06:40]
navegar para poder cumplir con
[2:06:42]
nuestra obligación de Alliance.
[2:06:44]
Todos deberíamos estar
[2:06:45]
enfocados en esto. Por qué? Y
[2:06:48]
sé que a nadie le gusta, pero
[2:06:50]
es un decreto que tenemos que
[2:06:52]
cumplir. Así que nos están
[2:06:55]
vigilando, nos están
[2:06:56]
supervisando con todas nuestras
[2:06:58]
acciones. Y, eh, después de
[2:07:01]
tres años de incumplimiento,
[2:07:04]
tenemos que hacerlo bien.
[2:07:06]
Entonces quiero que estemos
[2:07:08]
mirándolo bien para poder, eh,
[2:07:11]
marcar esta casilla y cumplir
[2:07:13]
con nuestra palabra de manera
[2:07:14]
equitativa. Así no dejamos
[2:07:16]
ningún concejal atrás en la
[2:07:20]
oportunidad de acceder a esos
[2:07:22]
recursos en cada uno de
[2:07:23]
nuestros distritos. Gracias,
[2:07:26]
señora Rodríguez. Vamos a votar.
[2:07:29]
Y el conteo de votos 14 votos a
[2:07:33]
favor. Qué sigue? Ahora podemos
[2:07:36]
continuar al punto 20. Y ese es
[2:07:38]
un punto especial, señor. El
[2:07:41]
concejal Blumenfield. Concejal
[2:07:43]
Blumenfield. Adelante. Estoy a
[2:07:46]
favor de calles abiertas
[2:07:48]
durante los dos eventos de
[2:07:49]
Ciclavia que han tomado lugar.
[2:07:51]
He dado fondos para mejorar
[2:07:54]
este evento. Creo en Ciclavia,
[2:07:59]
pero no estoy a favor de este
[2:08:01]
punto. Eso es una protesta que
[2:08:03]
voy a hacer. Sé que va a pasar,
[2:08:06]
pero voy a votar. No. En este
[2:08:08]
punto, se recomienda distribuir
[2:08:11]
2 millones de dólares para
[2:08:12]
aceptar 3 millones de dólares
[2:08:13]
para nueve calles abiertas. En
[2:08:17]
nueve de estos eventos, solo
[2:08:18]
hay uno que está en el Valle de
[2:08:21]
San Fernando, donde donde viven
[2:08:24]
el 40% de la ciudad de Los
[2:08:27]
Ángeles. En el último ciclo de
[2:08:31]
calles abiertos nos dieron 7EME
[2:08:36]
los fondos para siete eventos y
[2:08:38]
ni uno se ubicaba en el Valle
[2:08:41]
de San Fernando. El motivo es
[2:08:44]
para ganar el apoyo comunitario,
[2:08:46]
para tener calles más seguras y
[2:08:49]
eso es tan importante en el
[2:08:50]
Valle como en otras partes de
[2:08:51]
la ciudad. Y yo diría que es
[2:08:53]
aún más importante. Como
[2:08:55]
tenemos calles anchas y esto me
[2:08:57]
molesta mucho que que siga
[2:08:59]
pasando. Y no quiero decir no a
[2:09:03]
fondos de subvención que nos
[2:09:04]
van a llegar, pero tenemos que
[2:09:06]
hacer algo y eso debería ser un
[2:09:09]
programa de toda la ciudad y
[2:09:11]
parámetro de todo el condado y
[2:09:14]
Metro ha fracasado. En este
[2:09:16]
punto voy a votar no? Concejal
[2:09:19]
Rodríguez. Señor Blumenfield,
[2:09:22]
gracias por llamar la atención
[2:09:24]
a este punto y para nosotros
[2:09:26]
que representamos el Valle de
[2:09:27]
San Fernando y nuestros
[2:09:29]
compañeros que eh están en la
[2:09:31]
Junta de Metro, todos queremos
[2:09:34]
recibir nuestra parte, así que
[2:09:36]
me uno en su protesta y voto No,
[2:09:40]
gracias señora Rodríguez. Vamos
[2:09:42]
a votar y el conteo de votos?
[2:09:46]
12 votos a favor, dos en contra.
[2:09:48]
Que sigue? Ahora? Podemos
[2:09:52]
terminar la reunión regular y
[2:09:55]
empezar la reunión especial.
[2:09:57]
Especial? Ok, voy a pasar lista.
[2:10:02]
Bloomfield, Hernández. Obrado.
[2:10:05]
Lee. Lee. Padilla Park. Ramón
[2:10:08]
Rodríguez, Soto Martínez y
[2:10:09]
otros 14 miembros presentes y
[2:10:11]
un quórum. Qué tenemos que
[2:10:15]
votar? Es el 43 donde se ha
[2:10:18]
realizado un comentario público
[2:10:20]
y oh! Y necesitamos diez votos
[2:10:23]
a favor, Señora FISCAL Oh,
[2:10:26]
señor Fiscal, perdón para el
[2:10:29]
público que está presente para
[2:10:30]
dar su comentario público
[2:10:32]
durante la reunión especial. El
[2:10:34]
único punto disponible para dar
[2:10:36]
su comentario público es el 43.
[2:10:40]
Entonces si escribieron es para
[2:10:42]
dar su comentario en en 43 no
[2:10:44]
se va a aceptar el comentario
[2:10:47]
general. Y si tenemos algún
[2:10:51]
comentario público. Comments on
[2:10:58]
this item. Si quieren dar su
[2:11:00]
comentario público, por favor
[2:11:01]
hagan fila. Qué bueno verle,
[2:11:05]
señor Spengler. Creo que es la
[2:11:07]
primera vez que le veo en 2026.
[2:11:13]
Adelante, ándale. Tiene un
[2:11:14]
minuto? Muy bien, gracias.
[2:11:17]
Nomás quiero decir que en
[2:11:19]
cuanto a la crisis de vivienda,
[2:11:21]
hay muchas cosas que podemos
[2:11:23]
hacer. Sé que por medio de este
[2:11:24]
informe estamos encontrando
[2:11:26]
nuestras opciones en la iglesia
[2:11:28]
de Cientología. Es uno de los
[2:11:30]
propietarios más grandes en Los
[2:11:32]
Ángeles y la mayoría de sus
[2:11:33]
propiedades están vacías. Por
[2:11:35]
qué negocian con ellos? Para
[2:11:37]
poder comprar sus edificios y
[2:11:39]
pueden usarlos para las
[2:11:41]
viviendas. Hay tantos edificios
[2:11:43]
vacíos y es un una manera de,
[2:11:47]
eh, agarrar las tierras. Y cómo
[2:11:50]
no quieren pagar a su gente.
[2:11:52]
Prefieren comprar más, más
[2:11:54]
terreno. Pueden usar sus
[2:11:56]
estacionamientos, sus edificios.
[2:11:58]
No sé por qué lo investigan. Es.
[2:12:00]
Siguen quitando la ciudad y no
[2:12:02]
contribuye en nada. Incluso si
[2:12:05]
no lo quieren comprar, pueden.
[2:12:07]
No tienen que. Eh. No tiene que
[2:12:09]
comprarlo si no quieren. Pero
[2:12:11]
pueden usar esos edificios como
[2:12:13]
quitan y no contribuyen.
[2:12:15]
Deberían de aceptarlo. Y son
[2:12:18]
muchos edificios. Antes del
[2:12:21]
siguiente comentarista voy a
[2:12:23]
llamar todos los nombres que
[2:12:24]
aparecen en la agenda especial
[2:12:27]
en la. Este es un punto, eh
[2:12:38]
relacionado con los fondos de
[2:12:40]
las. Espero que se designen
[2:12:44]
estos fondos a proporcionar
[2:12:47]
viviendas y servicios, porque
[2:12:50]
lo que hemos visto en el pasado
[2:12:52]
es que no se están
[2:12:53]
distribuyendo estos fondos de
[2:12:55]
manera correcta y la gente no
[2:12:57]
tiene la vivienda que necesitan.
[2:13:00]
Es por eso que hay tanta gente
[2:13:02]
en la calle. No están haciendo
[2:13:06]
el esfuerzo para hacer
[2:13:09]
disponible estas viviendas y
[2:13:11]
que sea de buena, sean de buena
[2:13:13]
condición también. Y es una de
[2:13:18]
las muchas razones por las
[2:13:20]
cuales hay tanta gente en la
[2:13:22]
calle. No tienen las viviendas
[2:13:24]
ni los servicios disponibles
[2:13:26]
para esas personas que no
[2:13:28]
tienen casa, pero a lo mejor
[2:13:30]
van a usar los fondos
[2:13:34]
equivocadamente y seguir
[2:13:35]
haciendo válidas y limpiezas,
[2:13:36]
porque a esto le gusta hacer.
[2:13:44]
Hola, comentario general para
[2:13:47]
vivienda quiero agregar a lo
[2:13:49]
que dijo ahorita. Obviamente si
[2:13:54]
el punto es que no estamos, no
[2:13:56]
nos interesa Cientología
[2:13:59]
ayudando a la gente sin
[2:14:00]
vivienda porque no lo hacen,
[2:14:01]
pero si le preguntan a
[2:14:02]
Cientología por qué no usamos
[2:14:04]
sus edificios vacíos y
[2:14:06]
estacionamientos y hoteles
[2:14:07]
saben que te van a decir no?
[2:14:09]
Por qué? Porque solo están
[2:14:11]
interesados en infiltrar los
[2:14:13]
programas que ayudan a la gente
[2:14:15]
sin hogar, pero lo que hacen es
[2:14:16]
cuando infiltran esos programas.
[2:14:19]
Ya están llevando a esta gente
[2:14:22]
sin vivienda a situaciones
[2:14:24]
horrendas, porque no, no creen
[2:14:28]
en tener ayuda, no pagan
[2:14:31]
impuestos, no hacen nada que no
[2:14:33]
sea utilizar los recursos de la
[2:14:35]
ciudad. Es el departamento de
[2:14:37]
policía para eventos privados,
[2:14:40]
pero cuando van a preguntarles
[2:14:42]
a ayudar la ciudad con el
[2:14:44]
problema de gente sin hogar
[2:14:45]
porque tiene 1.000.000.000 de
[2:14:47]
dólares, la mayor cantidad de
[2:14:50]
estados en Los Ángeles,
[2:14:51]
entonces por favor, traten de
[2:14:53]
hacer eso. Siguiente
[2:14:56]
comentarista. Sí. Bueno. Buenos
[2:15:05]
días. Blanqueadores de
[2:15:10]
capitales. Quieren blanquear
[2:15:13]
capitales de una fuente por 30
[2:15:16]
millones de dólares. Que los
[2:15:20]
llama el FBI. O no tienen el
[2:15:23]
dinero. Van a gastar dinero que
[2:15:25]
no tienen y tratan de
[2:15:27]
blanquearlo para tenerlo de
[2:15:29]
vuelta en los fondos generales.
[2:15:30]
Y reclaman de manera falso que
[2:15:33]
no tiene impacto fiscal. Es
[2:15:35]
fraude. No tienen este dinero,
[2:15:37]
pero sin embargo lo van a
[2:15:39]
seguir haciendo. Pero es
[2:15:40]
solamente un recordatorio que
[2:15:42]
su colega Karen Price no va a
[2:15:44]
poder votar para ese tema,
[2:15:46]
porque él está ahí en el
[2:15:48]
edificio de corte criminal.
[2:15:49]
Entonces, si quieren ver algo
[2:15:51]
divertido, vayan ahí cruzando
[2:15:53]
la calle al edificio en el
[2:15:55]
tercer piso, y pueden ver el
[2:15:57]
gran trabajo que ha estado
[2:15:59]
haciendo, llenando sus
[2:16:00]
bolsillos como el resto de
[2:16:02]
ustedes. Que tengan lindo día.
[2:16:07]
Bueno, eso se acaba con
[2:16:09]
comentario público para la
[2:16:10]
reunión especial. El consejo
[2:16:12]
quiere ir adelante para el tema
[2:16:14]
43. Podemos abrir la lista para
[2:16:16]
43 y cerrar los votos 14 a
[2:16:20]
favor. El consejo quiere que.
[2:16:22]
Tema número 43 vaya
[2:16:25]
inmediatamente hoy? Sí. El
[2:16:26]
Consejo quiere levantar la
[2:16:28]
sesión especial y seguir la
[2:16:31]
reunión regular. Sí. La lista
[2:16:34]
Bloomfield Erdosain Hernández.
[2:16:35]
Jurado Lee Mccusker Park Price,
[2:16:38]
Ramón Rodríguez Soto Martínez
[2:16:40]
Jaroslavsky 14 miembros
[2:16:42]
presentes y un quórum. Señor
[2:16:44]
Presidente, que más queda ante
[2:16:46]
nosotros? El Consejo quiere ir
[2:16:50]
adelante para el tema 22,
[2:16:51]
llamada especial por la
[2:16:52]
concejala Slowsky para sesión
[2:16:55]
cerrada. Si señor Fiscal. Si
[2:16:56]
nos puede dar las instrucciones
[2:16:59]
para la sesión cerrada? Sí, les
[2:17:01]
voy a dar las instrucciones.
[2:17:03]
Cuando vamos a sesión cerrada
[2:17:04]
para miembros del público aquí.
[2:17:06]
Vamos a ir a la sesión cerrada.
[2:17:08]
No estamos en pausa. Entonces
[2:17:10]
pido que se vayan a la sala
[2:17:13]
para que podamos ir a sesión
[2:17:14]
cerrada. Creo que el concejal

about choosing to believe in our

The number one cause of

preventable death after injury

is bleeding someone who is
[3:54:16]
severely bleeding can bleed to
[3:54:18]
death in as little as five
[3:54:19]
minutes. Minutes count in your
[3:54:22]
lAFD. Thanks you for learning
[3:54:24]
how to stop the bleed by
[3:54:26]
following the ABCs. If someone
[3:54:28]
has an injury with blood
[3:54:30]
spurting out of the wound,

The Lankershim Arts Center was
[3:56:41]
constructed. In 1939, when it
[3:56:46]
was opened in 1939. It was
[3:56:49]
originally a la Department of
[3:56:52]
Water and Power Building. The
[3:56:57]
city of L.A. became the owner of
[3:56:59]
the Lankershim Arts Center when
[3:57:00]
it was declared as a historical,
[3:57:03]
cultural monument on the plaque.
[3:57:06]
Its purpose was that it is an
[3:57:08]
example of adaptive reuse. The
[3:57:12]
front building is actually an
[3:57:15]
example of streamline modern
[3:57:17]
design. And then if you come
[3:57:22]
here after, I think it's like 5
[3:57:26]
or 6:00, there's like lighting
[3:57:28]
panels that will turn on and
[3:57:30]
then you get to see the full
[3:57:32]
kind of marquee of the
[3:57:34]
Lancashire Arts Center. We host
[3:57:37]
a bevy of productions, be it
[3:57:40]
dance productions, music
[3:57:43]
productions. Sometimes we'll
[3:57:44]
have a film screening, uh, art.
[3:57:47]
I think that sort of flexibility
[3:57:48]
is something that brings me back
[3:57:51]
every time. The theater is very
[3:57:53]
intimate here. It really feels
[3:57:56]
like you're just right up in
[3:57:57]
front of the talent when you
[3:58:00]
come and watch a show here. We
[3:58:03]
also do youth programing here.
[3:58:05]
We work with a different local
[3:58:07]
artist to be able to provide
[3:58:09]
free programing for children to
[3:58:12]
learn how to sew. We have a
[3:58:13]
fashion class. We have music
[3:58:16]
classes specifically for
[3:58:18]
percussion and drums. We also
[3:58:21]
have another music class for
[3:58:22]
piano, and then we also have a
[3:58:25]
dance studio. It's in our
[3:58:26]
mezzanine that is for our dance
[3:58:29]
class that we have here. Our
[3:58:32]
mission here is just to grow the
[3:58:36]
performing arts. Really. So
[3:58:38]
whether it be someone trying to
[3:58:40]
bring out their own original
[3:58:42]
productions or like sometimes we
[3:58:44]
even have different groups come
[3:58:47]
in to teach after school
[3:58:48]
classes. Being able to grow the
[3:58:50]
performing arts in a community
[3:58:52]
is what makes Lankershim Art
[3:58:54]
center stand out. The city
[3:58:58]
investing into places like this
[3:59:00]
is because it gives a place for
[3:59:03]
people that were not as
[3:59:05]
confident. The ability to
[3:59:07]
express themselves and. That is
[3:59:18]
so important just for our mental
[3:59:19]
health as well as for like the
[3:59:22]
health of the community. And it
[3:59:25]
just makes a world a better
[3:59:25]
place. We look forward to having
[3:59:29]
you here at Lankershim Arts
[3:59:31]
Center. Whether it be taking
[3:59:32]
part in our free programing as
[3:59:35]
well as being able to come and
[3:59:37]
just watch a movie or watch a
[3:59:38]
show, we look forward to having
[3:59:40]

That's our website
[4:01:06]
The Tosco Theater is located in
[4:01:09]
Canoga Park. There is so much
[4:01:13]
already here to offer cultural
[4:01:16]
events, performances, folks do
[4:01:18]
annual Dia de Los Muertos
[4:01:20]
festivals. There is art walks,
[4:01:21]
there's musical events, there's
[4:01:23]
jazz, and I feel like we have
[4:01:26]
the privilege to be added in
[4:01:30]
that offering. The space had
[4:01:34]
been left a little bit weary.
[4:01:38]
And so when the city came in to
[4:01:41]
renovate the space, it was
[4:01:41]
offered another chance to
[4:01:44]
breathe new life into the arts.
[4:01:45]
Here. In the Tosco Theater is
[4:01:50]
here for everyone. It is here
[4:01:54]
for young artists who are just
[4:01:56]
starting out to the professional
[4:01:58]
artists who are here to dream up
[4:02:00]
their new vision and we're here
[4:02:02]
for the community at large and
[4:02:04]
all of our community events. One
[4:02:08]
of our signature events is
[4:02:10]
called walking in our Light.
[4:02:11]
This idea of how do we help
[4:02:14]
people to encourage them to
[4:02:16]
think about the light that they
[4:02:18]
bring and to show appreciation
[4:02:21]
for those who help to nurture
[4:02:22]
that light. So from that idea,
[4:02:24]
we thought, well, let's let's
[4:02:26]
walk in our light. Let us have
[4:02:30]
stories along the way where
[4:02:31]
people can stop and hear
[4:02:33]
performances and storytelling of
[4:02:34]
other people saying, this is my
[4:02:36]
light, this is how I shine it.
[4:02:38]
And these are the people I want
[4:02:40]
to show appreciation to. So we
[4:02:41]
do this walk around the block
[4:02:43]
and then we end up with a little
[4:02:45]
gathering and performances
[4:02:46]
inside and lots of time to just
[4:02:47]
reflect on. Yeah, this is my
[4:02:50]
life, you know? And these are
[4:02:51]
the people who've helped me get
[4:02:53]
there. Our communities don't
[4:02:58]
always see what the city of Los
[4:03:00]
Angeles provides them, providing
[4:03:02]
access to the arts says to me,
[4:03:04]
that's a city that's proud of
[4:03:07]
the stories it wants to tell.
[4:03:08]
The people who want to tell
[4:03:11]
them, and the ways that they
[4:03:11]
want to tell them. A space like
[4:03:15]
this gives opportunity for folks
[4:03:18]
of all ages, cultures,
[4:03:22]
experience to say, I can be
[4:03:25]
seen. I can be heard, and I'm
[4:03:28]
walking in these doors and it
[4:03:30]
feels welcoming. It feels
[4:03:32]
nurturing, and people are
[4:03:34]
excited to listen to me and to
[4:03:36]
hear me. We don't have that all
[4:03:38]
the time, so it's a it's a live
[4:03:41]
space that's here to welcome and
[4:03:44]
nurture those sparks of
[4:03:46]
inspiration and vision. There's
[4:03:51]
a few ways to find us. We are
[4:03:53]

[4:27:19]
LA. We have put child sex
[4:27:22]
abusers behind bars for up to 11
[4:27:26]
years. Misdemeanor is only one
[4:27:28]
year and we take these crimes
[4:27:30]
incredibly seriously. It is said
[4:27:32]
that failure is an orphan.
[4:27:35]
Success has many fathers. I
[4:27:36]
think it isn't just that success
[4:27:39]
has many fathers. I think that
[4:27:40]
it is only by coming together.
[4:27:42]
It is only with the jurisdiction
[4:27:44]
of the District Attorney's
[4:27:45]
office that goes to Long Beach,
[4:27:47]
where I can't go. That goes to
[4:27:50]
Pomona, where I can't go. That
[4:27:53]
really treats these crimes with
[4:27:54]
felony that we will finally,
[4:27:56]
finally make a real lasting dent
[4:27:59]
in the open air exploitation of
[4:28:01]
our young people. I thank you
[4:28:03]
all for being here and for
[4:28:05]
giving this issue your attention
[4:28:08]
. And I join our district
[4:28:09]
attorney and our Chief of Police
[4:28:12]
and our, uh, Council president
[4:28:15]
in urging our community to come
[4:28:16]
forward and help us do this
[4:28:18]
work. Let's keep the young
[4:28:20]
people safe. Let's shut down the
[4:28:22]
places where trafficking occurs
[4:28:25]
. Let's put John's behind bars,
[4:28:28]
if that's what it takes to give
[4:28:30]
them the seriousness of the
[4:28:31]
consequences. And let's put the
[4:28:33]
predators away for a long time.
[4:28:34]
Thank you. Thank you much very
[4:28:39]
much. Our city attorney, Heidi
[4:28:41]
Feldstein Soto, I'd now like to
[4:28:43]
call another elected leader to
[4:28:46]
speak who has demonstrated a
[4:28:48]
commitment not just over months
[4:28:51]
, but over years to ending human
[4:28:53]
trafficking. Our Los Angeles
[4:28:55]
City Council president, Marquis
[4:28:56]
Harris Dawson, thank you so much
[4:29:01]
to all of our law enforcement
[4:29:01]
leaders that are with us and
[4:29:03]
community leaders, faith leaders
[4:29:04]
that are with us today. Uh I can
[4:29:07]
always be counted on and always
[4:29:10]
appreciate the opportunity to
[4:29:12]
stand and look. This problem,
[4:29:13]
which has been along this
[4:29:16]
corridor, my entire life and I'm
[4:29:19]
not young. I'll just put it that
[4:29:21]
way. This problem has been there
[4:29:23]
my entire life, and one thing we
[4:29:26]
wanted to do, uh, as an elected
[4:29:29]
official, was confronted,
[4:29:31]
confronted directly and try to
[4:29:32]
do so in an effective way. And
[4:29:35]
when we got on the phone and
[4:29:37]
started calling people and
[4:29:38]
saying, you need to see what's
[4:29:41]
happening on Figueroa, what's
[4:29:42]
happening to the parishioners
[4:29:43]
who come to church, the people
[4:29:45]
who live here, the small
[4:29:47]
businesses. But most
[4:29:48]
importantly, the victims of sex
[4:29:50]
trafficking. We think you'll
[4:29:52]
join up and want to do something
[4:29:54]
about it. And I couldn't be more
[4:29:56]
grateful to our to anyone more
[4:30:00]
than I am. Our city attorney who
[4:30:03]
, when we took the city attorney
[4:30:06]
on the ride along, she expressed
[4:30:07]
the shock. She expressed the
[4:30:09]
anger and the disgust about what
[4:30:12]
was happening to our people here
[4:30:14]
on Figueroa in our city, in the
[4:30:17]
city of Los Angeles, and got
[4:30:19]
busy right away. And literally
[4:30:20]
every time I spoke to her after
[4:30:23]
that, it was something about
[4:30:25]
Figueroa, and she pulled
[4:30:26]
together a task force, which
[4:30:29]
included all of the law
[4:30:31]
enforcement agencies that you
[4:30:32]
see with us today, and got busy
[4:30:35]
when our district attorney was
[4:30:37]
elected. Our very first
[4:30:39]
conversation. I think we said,
[4:30:40]
hello, nice to meet you, by the
[4:30:42]
way. Figueroa. And he said yes.
[4:30:45]
Heidi already talked to me about
[4:30:47]
it. So we're on top of it. And
[4:30:49]
they put extra octane into the
[4:30:52]
gas tank and dealing with this
[4:30:54]
problem and our, our chief of
[4:30:56]
police and LAPD has had fits and
[4:30:58]
starts with Figueroa for decades
[4:31:01]
and decades. And decades. But at
[4:31:03]
a time when resources are
[4:31:05]
getting tighter and tighter for
[4:31:07]
the police department, I'm
[4:31:08]
extremely grateful to the
[4:31:10]
department that they've
[4:31:11]
continued to prioritize Figueroa
[4:31:13]
and dealing with this issue. And
[4:31:16]
there is progress being made.
[4:31:18]
The folks who live here and go
[4:31:20]
to church here and do business
[4:31:22]
here, they can tell you it's not
[4:31:23]
perfect. It's not what it should
[4:31:25]
be, but it's a little bit better
[4:31:27]
than it was the week before and
[4:31:29]
a lot better than it was the
[4:31:30]
year before. With the help of
[4:31:32]
the City Attorney's office and
[4:31:33]
the police department, we've
[4:31:35]
closed six of the motels that
[4:31:37]
were the most notorious for
[4:31:40]
trafficking. We've installed
[4:31:42]
cameras and folks who know me
[4:31:44]
know I'm not a big fan of
[4:31:45]
government surveillance. But if
[4:31:46]
you're going to get out of your
[4:31:48]
bed and get in your car and
[4:31:50]
drive to Figueroa to buy sex
[4:31:52]
with a minor, then we're going
[4:31:53]
to surveil you and we're going
[4:31:56]
to hold you accountable. So if
[4:31:56]
you look up there to the north,
[4:31:59]
to my left, you'll see a little
[4:32:00]
camera on the top of the light
[4:32:02]
pole. We're keeping track of
[4:32:03]
who's coming when you're coming
[4:32:05]
, when you pull over and when
[4:32:06]
you stop. And you'll get
[4:32:08]
everybody a dear John letter
[4:32:09]
from now. The district attorney
[4:32:12]
and the city attorney saying,
[4:32:14]
hey, you were in an area where
[4:32:15]
trafficking is going on. And
[4:32:18]
here's a picture of your car and
[4:32:19]
your driver's license number.
[4:32:20]
And we just hope that the
[4:32:22]
trafficker isn't the only person
[4:32:25]
in the house that sees that
[4:32:26]
letter is all I'm going to say
[4:32:28]
about that. And so we're excited
[4:32:30]
about the progress that we're
[4:32:31]
making. We think much more needs
[4:32:32]
to be done. I am here to fully
[4:32:34]
endorse and ask everybody we
[4:32:36]
know. We'll go door to door if
[4:32:38]
we have to. Uh, Mr. District
[4:32:39]
Attorney to make sure people
[4:32:42]
respond to the survey. I can
[4:32:44]
tell you the response of the
[4:32:46]
council member is, yes to all
[4:32:48]
options, one through seven. Uh
[4:32:50]
but we want to encourage people
[4:32:51]
to get involved because
[4:32:53]
Sacramento has people from all
[4:32:55]
over the state who don't have
[4:32:57]
any idea what's happening here
[4:32:58]
on Figueroa or in long Beach or
[4:33:01]
in Pomona, and so hearing from
[4:33:03]
our people is going to be
[4:33:05]
important to them and important
[4:33:06]
to this process. So I thank you
[4:33:09]
for getting behind this and
[4:33:10]
reaching out to our folks and
[4:33:12]
giving everyday people an
[4:33:14]
opportunity to get involved,
[4:33:16]
make their community better. But
[4:33:17]
most importantly, do everything
[4:33:19]
they can to protect our young
[4:33:21]
people from this terrible
[4:33:22]
scourge. Thank you all so much.
[4:33:23]
Thank you
