[0:03] low, welcome to our public

[0:04] hearing meeting of the

[0:06] los angeles county board of

[0:07] supervisors today.

[0:08] and it is tuesday, january 27,

[0:12] 2026.

[0:12] please note that the supervisor

[0:14] horvath will be absent from our

[0:16] meeting today.

[0:17] and we'll take note a quorum of

[0:19] the board is present.

[0:20] the acting chief executive

[0:23] officer, county counsel, and

[0:25] executive officer and sergeant

[0:26] at of arms are here to assist

[0:29] us.

[0:30] before we begin -- welcome, good

[0:33] morning.

[0:33] colleagues, I want to hold a

[0:37] movement silence today in honor

[0:40] of alex prettie, shot by customs

[0:45] enforcement officer in

[0:46] minneapolis this weekend.

[0:48] alex was 37 years old, and

[0:50] intensive care unit nurse who

[0:52] worked at minneapolis veterans

[0:55] affair hospital.

[0:56] he was described by his parents

[0:58] as a kind-hearted soul who cared

[1:00] deeply for his family and

[1:02] friends.

[1:03] someone who wanted to make a

[1:04] difference in this world.

[1:06] friends remember him as someone

[1:08] who was always willing to help

[1:11] others, a mentor who taught

[1:12] kindness and patience to his

[1:14] younger colleagues.

[1:16] his loss leaves a huge void for

[1:18] friends, families, and

[1:20] colleagues and veterans who

[1:21] relied on him every single day.

[1:23] his murder at the hands of

[1:25] federal agents is a

[1:27] gut-wrenching consequence of the

[1:28] injustices we're seeing every

[1:30] day.

[1:30] this incident cannot be ignored

[1:32] or normalized.

[1:33] the values that we have always

[1:36] prided ourselves in are being

[1:38] tested, we're all facing

[1:40] tremendous pressure to protect

[1:41] ourselves while standing up for

[1:43] our friends, our families, and

[1:45] the dignity of every human

[1:47] being.

[1:48] just two weeks ago I led a

[1:49] moment of silence here with the

[1:52] board for renee good, and other

[1:54] victims we lost from aggressive

[1:56] immigration enforcement in 2025,

[1:59] at the start of 2026.

[2:03] this moment of silence is not

[2:05] just a moment of grief.

[2:07] it is also a moment to reflect

[2:09] on how we can work together to

[2:11] speak out against the injustices

[2:13] we see and fight for the country

[2:14] and values that we all believe

[2:17] in.

[2:18] may we continue forward with

[2:19] resolve and commitment to do

[2:21] right by our communities.

[2:23] 00 stand and join me in a moment

[2:24] of silence.

[2:26] [moment of silence].

[3:04] >> hilda solis, chair: thank

[3:05] you.

[3:05] you may be seated.

[3:21] >> sup. Hilda solis, chair: the

[3:23] county of los angeles recognizes

[3:26] that we occupy land originally

[3:27] and still inhabited and cared

[3:28] for by the tongva, tataviam,

[3:29] serrano, kizh, and chumash

[3:33] peoples.

[3:33] we honor and pay respect to

[3:35] their elders and descendants

[3:37] past, present, and emerging as

[3:40] of these lands and waters.

[3:44] we acknowledge that settler

[3:45] colonization resulted in land

[3:46] seizure, disease, subjugation,

[4:01] and reconciliation and to

[18:41] of your colors.

[18:44] we have with us board member

[18:46] ernie nishi, hi, ernie.

[18:50] board president francisco noilla

[18:54] and superintendent here today.

[18:58] hi.

[18:59] today, we are formally

[19:01] recognizing down here at the

[19:03] l.a. County board of supervisors

[19:05] the artesia pioneers for making

[19:08] school history, and earning the

[19:11] title of cif southern section

[19:14] division 8 volleyball champions!

[19:18] [applause]

[19:23] not only is this the first time

[19:25] the team has earned the cif

[19:27] title, but it is also the first

[19:28] time the team made it to the

[19:31] finals.

[19:32] during the finals artesia won in

[19:35] a three-set sweep which means

[19:38] they won three consecutive sets

[19:39] against their opponent to seal

[19:42] their victory.

[19:43] and they were the only team to

[19:45] claim a three-set sweep during

[19:47] the finals.

[19:48] that takes another round of

[19:50] applause.

[19:56] the team's captain was named the

[20:00] cif division player of the year

[20:02] where she led the entire

[20:04] division with 21 kills, 2

[20:07] blocks, and 2 aces.

[20:10] all right!

[20:11] and both isabella cruz and haley

[20:15] robinson named to the all cif

[20:17] team roster.

[20:19] isabella led artesia with 37

[20:21] assists, 5 aces and haley ended

[20:24] the season with 17 kills.

[20:26] the entire team played their

[20:28] hearts out, and I want to

[20:29] acknowledge their incredible

[20:32] determination and commitment as

[20:34] student athletes.

[20:36] of course none of this would

[20:36] have been possible without the

[20:38] leader h coaching staff and the

[20:41] supports of the school and the

[20:43] district.

[20:43] the coaches who are in their

[20:45] first year of coaching at

[20:47] artesia, wow, you have nowhere

[20:49] else to go but keep going up.

[20:53] are brothers who took over a

[20:55] struggling volleyball program

[20:57] and built a championship team.

[20:59] head coach francisco serrano and

[21:02] coaches jose and juan serrano

[21:05] carefully polished, motivated

[21:08] and supported each and every

[21:10] player throughout the season.

[21:12] congratulations are also in

[21:13] order for head coach francisco

[21:15] who was named the cif division 8

[30:11] consul general representing the

[30:13] consulate of republic of korea

[30:15] in los angeles, mr. T.c. Kim

[30:17] president of the korean american

[30:19] foundation of glendale, and

[32:44] countries, usa and south korea.

[32:46] also teaching the next

[32:49] generation the value of self

[32:50] sacrifice, collaboration, and

[32:53] contribution so we all can work

[32:56] together.

[32:56] we are all connected.

[33:09] thank you and god bless you.

[33:12] >> sup. Kathryn barger: thank

[33:14] you.

[33:15] we presented proclamations to

[33:16] each and every one of you, and

[33:20] so appreciate all that you bring

[33:23] to los angeles county.

[33:25] thank you.

[35:44] >> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

[35:44] thank you.

[35:45] buenas dias, good morning.

[35:49] I'm hilda solis chair of the

[35:52] los angeles county board of

[35:52] supervisors.

[35:53] but I am most proud of being the

[35:54] representatives for the first

[35:57] district.

[35:59] I'm happy that we have been

[36:00] jointed by so many wonderful

[36:03] people here today.

[36:06] I have asked staff to list on

[36:08] the screen there the vazquez

[36:13] predomo versus noem e plaintiffs

[36:15] support group, stakeholders

[36:18] engaged in this particular case.

[36:20] I'm important, first of all I

[36:22] want to thank los angeles county

[36:24] board of supervisors as well as

[36:26] our county counsel for also

[36:29] helping us work through this

[36:31] process.

[36:34] for months los angeles county

[36:37] contends with the federal

[36:38] government immigration

[36:39] enforcement wreaking havoc

[36:41] amongst many communities and

[36:43] neighborhoods throughout

[36:44] los angeles county.

[36:45] other parts of the country.

[36:47] families as you know have been

[36:50] separated and our economy has

[36:52] suffered.

[36:52] yes it has suffered.

[36:54] as people are eye frayed to go

[36:55] to work, or visit businesses

[36:58] where they pay be targeted.

[37:00] this is still happening today.

[37:10] indiscriminate arrest of

[37:12] individuals because they look or

[37:13] speak differently.

[37:14] federal immigration enforcement

[37:16] should be limited by our

[37:18] constitutional right against

[37:19] unlawful search and seizures and

[37:22] racial profiling.

[37:24] yet I.c.e. Has consistently

[37:26] tested and violated these rights

[37:28] here in los angeles county.

[37:31] and across our country.

[37:33] that's why last july I authored

[37:36] a motion passed unanimously

[37:39] directing county counsel to

[37:40] explore legal remedies to

[37:42] protect the constitutional

[37:44] rights of los angeles county

[37:46] residents.

[37:47] this led the county to join as

[37:50] an intervenor plaintiff in the

[37:52] vazquez perdomo case.

[37:56] this resulted in a federal

[37:58] district judge's order

[38:00] protecting county residents

[38:01] against unlawful detention and

[38:04] arrest.

[38:05] although later the u.s. Supreme

[38:08] court overturned the preliminary

[38:09] injunction, there is ongoing

[38:12] litigation by the litigants who

[38:15] are some of whom are here

[38:17] standing and also in the

[38:19] audience and watching.

[38:23] to secure a permanent injunction

[38:25] protecting the legal rights of

[38:26] members of l.a. County

[38:28] communities.

[38:31] the fight goes on.

[38:33] it is needed now more than ever.

[38:35] I want to personally thank the

[38:37] human relations commission,

[38:38] robin toma and his staff, the

[38:42] aclu, public counsel, the

[38:44] plaintiffs, many community-based

[38:46] organizations civil rights

[38:47] defenders, and others that have

[38:49] been here.

[38:55] here two weeks ago two latino

[38:59] parks employees were allegedly

[39:01] racially profiled by I.c.e.

[39:03] right here at one of our own

[39:05] public parks.

[39:06] they were stopped and they were

[39:09] questioned and they were asked

[39:12] to declare if they were citizens

[39:14] or not.

[39:15] a similar incident happened to

[39:17] an employee of the district

[39:19] attorney's office.

[39:20] with the deaths recently of

[39:22] renee nicole good and alex

[39:26] pretti, now more than ever we

[39:29] must continue to fight to

[39:30] preserve our country's values

[39:32] and our democracy and the rule

[39:34] of law.

[39:39] that is why I am so proud and

[39:41] grateful to those joining with

[39:42] us and our community and our

[39:44] country for hard work,

[39:45] contributions to preserving the

[39:47] civil rights of los angeles

[39:48] county residents.

[39:50] please join me in thanking all

[39:52] of them this morning.

[39:54] thank you.

[40:00] [applause]

[40:04] would you like to say something

[40:08] briefly?

[40:16] >> in-person speaker: thank you

[40:19] for this recognition solis.

[40:20] I'm director of the aclu of

[40:22] southern california o behalf of

[40:25] the plaintiffses I have the

[40:26] honor of be aing sitting the

[40:28] human rights award with deep

[40:29] gratitude and humility.

[40:31] this honor belongs to the braver

[40:35] plaintiffs, five plaintiffs

[40:43] (reading names).

[40:44] they have been brave when

[40:45] staying silent would have been

[40:47] safer.

[40:47] their great sacrifices for the

[40:49] cause of justice and equality

[40:51] have had a tremendous impact.

[40:52] with their turning, protections

[40:54] for communities across --

[40:55] without their courage,

[40:56] protections for communities

[40:58] across the southland that came

[40:59] from this case would not exist.

[41:01] we also want to recognize our

[41:03] organizational plaintiffs, the

[41:05] l.a. Worker center network,

[41:07] united farmworkers who continue

[41:09] to work shoulder to shoulder

[41:11] with impacted communities and

[41:14] channel righteous anger and into

[41:16] collective action.

[41:17] when the full force of the

[41:19] federal immigration descended on

[41:20] southern california last june,

[41:22] was shown through and indeed

[41:23] what made the litigation

[41:25] possible was a collective

[41:26] response led by these

[41:28] organizations.

[41:28] organizers jumped into action.

[41:30] and neighbors protected

[41:32] neighbors.

[41:32] gathering together to call out

[41:33] the administration abuses.

[41:35] we are deeply grateful to our

[41:38] extraordinary co-counsel and

[41:39] partners whose collaboration

[41:40] persistence and belief in

[41:42] justice made this case possible.

[41:43] the uci law clinic, public

[41:48] counsel, cherla, ndef, and

[41:53] others.

[41:54] this award is a reminder that

[41:56] real change is driven by people

[41:58] who refuse to accept injustice

[42:01] as inaeft have evidentable.

[42:02] we hope it encourages you and

[42:05] other municipal and state

[49:56] 257 in 2025, los angeles county

[49:58] is mia.

[50:00] why are the nursery apartments

[50:05] ask kurt hahhingman.

[50:06] why is the roland heights golf

[50:09] course development frozen in

[50:12] ab109 started a blundering

[50:14] stupidity robbing peter to pay

[50:31] wish.

[50:31] having general public comment at

[50:34] in the face to the constituents.

[50:36] the sheriff's department

[51:07] that promise to me personally

[51:10] and county counsel tom gutierrez

[51:14] later said demo was postponed

[51:16] for lack of funds.

[51:17] we would be notified if plans

[51:21] changed.

[51:22] they did change.

[51:24] mclaren hall was demolished

[51:25] without notice.

[51:26] for survivors, this mattered.

[51:28] some of us wanted to be present

[51:32] to witness the demolition,

[51:34] believing it might offer a

[51:36] measure of closure.

[51:38] instead we learned after the

[51:39] fact.

[51:39] I asked for an explanation and

[51:43] apology from supervisor solis

[51:45] months later I'm still waiting.

[52:13] I've been there for over 15

[52:15] years.

[52:17] been easy.

[52:20] against, against staff members.

[52:23] cindy pozas, adalia, victor

[52:29] rodriguez, martina -- martha

[52:31] san tina chan, I guess that's

[52:32] her name, I'm sorry.

[52:35] she has not answered any of my

[52:38] complaints.

[52:38] hilda solis, I would ask that

[52:41] you as a board of governor chair

[52:43] please recognize the fact that

[52:47] christopher mahare, he called me

[52:50] an ingreat twice during a

[52:52] meeting.

[52:52] segregating us.

[52:53] they are interrupting us while

[52:54] we speak.

[52:55] they aren't respecting ada

[52:58] rights.

[52:59] for some strange reason

[53:01] stakeholders cannot publicly

[53:02] speak during a meeting, the

[53:05] staff has an agenda.

[53:07] >> executive officer: 510-332

[53:10] please begin.

[53:19] I am here to talk about the --

[53:29] inaudible]

[53:29] district 40 of lancaster and

[53:32] palmdale, california receive

[53:33] notice that our water contains

[53:38] chromium above the maximum

[53:40] contaminant level.

[53:42] this means that the amount of

[53:44] this chrome sits in our water

[53:46] exceeds what is legally

[53:50] considers safe to drink.

[53:53] if you guys don't know what that

[53:56] is, it is a toxic form of

[54:00] chromium and it has implications

[54:03] to cancer, it's carcinogenic and

[54:06] harmful to human health.

[54:08] I'm here to request on behalf of

[54:10] the citizens in this area that

[54:12] los angeles county water

[54:13] district --

[54:15] >> thank you.

[54:36] behalf of the anti-trafficking

[54:38] initiative, sjia practitioner

[54:49] related to major sporting events

[54:50] in los angeles prepared by the

[54:53] sji there collaboration with

[54:57] substantial rise in labor

[54:59] trafficking surrounding sporting

[55:00] events such as world cup and

[55:02] olympics.

[55:03] despite the risk of labor

[55:05] trafficking there is increased

[55:07] fear of sex trafficking that has

[55:09] wrongly shaped our policy

[55:11] response.

[55:12] the report proposes six

[55:14] strategies how l.a. County can

[55:17] work with fee if a.

[55:18] I don't have time to go over

[55:20] them, but we ask that it is e

[55:24] dwreejous the public has not

[55:26] seen the report that fee if a

[55:27] and l.a. County were required to

[55:31] submit.
