[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.

[3:26] 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.

[3:35] their elders and descendants
[3:37] past, present, and emerging as

[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
[21:19] volleyball coach of the year,

[23:02] family.
[23:03] we face teams that were bigger,
[23:05] faster, more recognized but

[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

[30:41] korean culture.

[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

[33:12] >> sup. Kathryn barger: thank
[33:14] you.
[33:14] we'll take a picture.
[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
[42:07] leaders to take bold, courageous
[42:09] action in defense of human
[42:11] rights.

[49:50] kirk hahhingman received over
[49:52] 200 achievement awards in 2024,
[49:56] 257 in 2025, los angeles county
[49:58] is mia.
[50:00] why are the nursery apartments
[50:04] never built.
[50:05] ask kurt hahhingman.
[50:06] why is the roland heights golf
[50:09] course development frozen in
[50:11] time.
[50:12] ab109 started a blundering
[50:14] stupidity robbing peter to pay
[50:16] paul during the criminal county
[50:19] jails and probation conundrum.
[50:23] a gun brought to a peaceful
[50:26] protest for illegal aliens for
[50:29] political purposes is a death
[50:31] wish.
[50:31] having general public comment at
[50:33] the end of the session is a slap
[50:34] in the face to the constituents.
[50:36] the sheriff's department
[50:38] allowing transient takeover of
[50:41] roland heights bus stops can be
[50:42] seen on my youtube channel.

[51:03] demolished on february 3 of 2025
[51:06] supervisor solis's office made
[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.
[52:18] I have been discriminated
[52:20] against, against staff members.

[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.

[53:14] hear me.

[53:18] ahead.
[53:18] >> telephone speaker: okay.
[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.

[54:29] amadotero, a student at loyola
[54:31] law school making public
[54:33] comment.
[54:33] I submit this public comment on
[54:36] behalf of the anti-trafficking
[54:38] initiative, sjia practitioner
[54:42] led evidence based and community
[54:44] informed think tank at loyola.
[54:47] we address human trafficking
[54:49] related to major sporting events
[54:50] in los angeles prepared by the
[54:53] sji there collaboration with
[54:54] arnold and porter llp.
[54:55] the report finds there is
[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.
[55:32] and they have yet to do so.
[55:34] by releasing the report the
[55:36] board of supervisors can assure
[55:36] cash dash>> executive officer:
