AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK A DEAR MEMBER OF OUR DIASPORA COUNCILMEMBER McOSKER, TO MAKING THIS POSSIBLE AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR OPENING YOUR DOOR TO USE TODAY IN A SIMILAR MATTER TO HIRE THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HAS OPENED UP TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND OUR COMMUNITY HAS THRIVED AND PROSPERED HERE AND THEY'VE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SOCIAL CULTURE AND ECONOMIC FABRIC OF THIS FANTASTIC CITY. AND THEIR NAMED STILL ETCHED ACROSS THE CITY, NAMES LIKE BOYLE HEIGHTS AND MULHOLLAND DRIVE, THE PATCHES THAT THEY FORMED, AND THEY HAVE LAID DOWN THE MARKERS FOR SIGNIFICANT FOREIGN INVESTMENT BY IRELAND. AND ON SAINT PATRICK'S DAY WE LAUNCHED AN ECONOMIC SUPPORT THAT SHOWS THAT IRELAND IS ONE OF THE SIXTH LARGEST INVESTOR AND NINETH LARGER INTO LOS ANGELES COUNTY. WE'RE LOOKING TO FOR WAY TO SEE INCREASE THAT EVEN FURTHER. LOS ANGELES IS A DYNAMIC AND DIVERSE CITY AND ONE THAT HAS SHOWN RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF DEVASTATING LOSS. SO WOULD I LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THOSE WHO LOST LOVED ONES IN THE FIRE. AS WE SAY IN IRISH, MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE. MANY MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WERE AMONG THOSE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES OR DISPLACED. AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE L.A. COUNTY BOARD, THE LOS ANGELES FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK AND YOUR EFFORT UNDER SUCH SUCH UNPRECEDENTED CONDITIONS. IT WAS INCREDIBLY MOVING TO SEE HOW RIGHT ACROSS THE CITY AND COUNTY, SO MANY PEOPLE OUR OWN COMMUNITY LONG THEM, THEY RALLIED TO VOLUNTEER, TO FUNDRAISE, TO COME FIRST. IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION OF SOLIDARITY AND SUPPORT. AND I WANT YOU TO PLEASE KNOW THAT IRELAND IS HERE IN FULL SOLIDARITY WITH YOU. THE RESPONSE OF THE WHOLE LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY DEMONSTRATES WHY IRELAND AND SO MANY OTHER NATIONS FEEL AT HOME HERE, YOU DEMONSTRATED AN EXTRAORDINARY CAPACITY FOR EMPATHY COMPASSION AND FROM THE HEART BREAK CAN COME RESILIENCE AND RESOLVE. AND THOSE ARE QUALITIES THAT THE IRISH COMMUNITY HAS IN ABUNDANCE. AND I KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE PLAYING THEIR PART IN RECOVERY. I AM DEEPLY PROUD TO REPRESENT A COMMUNITY THAT IS SO FAR FROM HOME, CONTINUES TO LIVE OUR VALUES. VALUES WHICH I KNOW YOU ALSO SHARE WHICH IN THE WORDS OF OUR PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT HIGGINS DEMONSTRATE SOLIDARITY AND WELL BEING OF ALL. THE BUILDING OF JUST AND COMPASSIONATE SOCIETY WHICH REFLECTS THE BEST INSTINCTS OF OUR HUMANITY. AND THAT'S WHAT THE IRISH PERSON OF THE AWARDS ARE ABOUT, RECOGNIZING THOSE THAT ACTIVELY LIVE THOSE VALUES AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY OR SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY LIVE IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE THAT IS. AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR PROVIDING RECOGNITION OF THOSE AWARDS. P I MYSELF AM A DEEPLY RELUCTANT BUT NOT UNGRATEFUL RECIPIENT AND THAT'S MY RELUCTANCE IS ONLY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND THEIR EFFORTS, THEY ARE LINED UP HERE BEHIND ME TODAY. AND THEY'RE REPAID ONLY IN GRATITUDES. I'M CONSCIOUS I HOLD A VERY PRIVILEGED ROLE SURROUNDED BY AN EXCELLENCE TEAM AT THE CONSULATE, I'M JOINED HERE TODAY BY ONE OF THOSE, OUR VICE COUNSEL GREEN.

THE CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T CARE WHAT THE PUBLIC'S VIEWS ON ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH OLYMPICS ARE. THEY'VE ALREADY LEARNED TO MANUFACTURE CONSENT BY MAKING MONEY DISAPPEAR AND DEPARTMENTS GO UNDER STAFFED. SO WHATEVER THE PUBLIC SAYS, IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE CLEARLY THE COUNCIL IS NOT LISTENING. THERE COULD BE ISSUES TO DEAL WITH THE VENUE AND YOU WOULD NOT KNOW, THERE COULD BE MOLD AND THE PUBLIC WOULD TELL YOU AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA. IF THE COUNCIL HAD CARED ABOUT THE WHAT THE PUBLIC HAD TO SAY OR PARTICIPATION, THEY WOULD LISTEN TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND REINSTATE PHONE PUBLIC COMMENT AND LISTEN TO COUNCILS. I HAVE 14 SECONDS ON THE OLYMPIC STUFF. IF THIS WAS MALIBU COUNCIL, THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE HOURS TO GIVE THEIR VIEWS ON OLYMPICS. THIS COUNCIL DOES NOT CARE AND SHORTENS IT TO 30 MINUTES, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE TO. THE COUNCIL HAD OTHER PEOPLE FLOOD COMMENTS WITH COMMENTED DATED FEBRUARY ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE REST OF THE CITY KNEW ABOUT THE FREE SPEECH INFRINGING MOTION ABOUT THE C WORD AND THE "N" WORD. THIS IS GOING TO SOLIDIFY THE PRESIDENT THAT WHENEVER THEY WANT TO GET SOMETHING DONE WHETHER IT'S PUTTING A BUILDING OR BUILDING LUXURY APARTMENTS WHERE NO ONE CAN AFFORD THEM OR INFRINGE WITH OUR RIGHTS, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PACK CORPORATE WITH CORPORATE GOONS, LOS ANGELES HAS TO STAND UP, WE HAVE TO RISE UP AGAINST THIS SHIT. THEY SAID HERMAN'S WORDS HAD NO VALUE. THAT'S NOT TRUE. I LEARNED PRANDENBERGH VERSUS OHIO, TWO FREE SPEECH CASE THAT'S WERE RULED IN THE FAVOR OF DEPARTMENTS. LOS ANGELES NEEDS TO RISE UP! AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FATE! >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> Council President: NEXT SPEAKER. NEXT SPEAKER. >> Clerk: I WILL NOW CALL FOR NAMES FOR PUBLIC COME.

LAST WEEK TALKING ABOUT A BILLION MORE DOLLARS, HAD YOU 18 MONTHS TO ADDRESS. I IMPLORE THE U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITTEE AND THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE TO WATCH EVERY DIME THAT COMES INTO THE CITY'S CONTROL BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF ON IT. THIS IS A CITY THAT IS A BILLION DOLLARS IN THE HOLE AND THEY'RE ASKING SACRAMENTO FOR TWO BILLION DOLLARS. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN HERE IN L.A., OLYMPIC COMMITTEE INTERNATIONAL AND U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITTEE, WATCH EVERY DIME. THIS IS A CITY THAT CAN'T PAY FOR SIDEWALKS AND YOU'RE GOING TO RUN THE 2028 OLYMPIC THROUGH THIS BODY? HOLY CRAP! ON TO GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET SUED SO BADLY ON FIRST AMENDMENT, IT'S SHOCKING BUT DID YOU HEAR WHAT MR. HARRIS-DAWSON DID TO HELP THE PLAINTIFFS, WHAT HE SAID ON FRIDAY. THE GENTLEMAN WHO COMES HERE KNOWN AS THREE INCH SHRIMP HE TALKS ABOUT CRIME AND SEX WORKERS IN FIGUEROA. WHAT DID MR. HARRIS-DAWSON DO WHEN SOMEBODY MENTIONED FIGUEROA. MR. HARRIS-DAWSON SAID FIGUEROA WAS NOT UNDER THE PER VIEW OF THE CITY. ARE YOU FUCKEN KIDDING ME? IT'S THE FOURTH LARGEST STREET IN THE CITY AND THE THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT IS SAYING THAT IT'S NOT IN THE CITY'S PER VIEW? IT GOES RIGHT THROUGH HIS DISTRICT. HE JUST GAVE THE BIGGEST PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT HE'S CENSORING THE PUBLIC, AND YOU'RE GOING TO CENSOR THE C WORD AND "N" WORD? WATCH THE MEETING. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO 1 GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OR BOTH? >> Speaker: BOTH. >> City Attorney: YOU'LL HAVE A MINUTE EACH. >> Speaker: LIKE DANIEL JUST SAID, OLYMPIC COMMITTEE, YOU DON'T NEED ANYBODY IN THE CITY COUNCIL TO HELP YOU GUIDE YOU WITH ANYTHING. THEY'RE GOING TO WANT ANYTHING IT'S YOUR MONEY. IT'S NOT TO MAKE A GREATER EVENT. BUT RATHER WHAT CAN THEY DO IN THEIR AREAS TO UTILIZE YOUR MONEY FOR THEIR PROJECTS THAT THEY CAN'T FUND? ONE BILLION IN DEBT TELLS YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED. YOU GUYS ARE LOOK FOR MONEY FROM THIS PROGRAM. TOM BRADLEY WAS GOING TO PUT TWO POOLS IN THE IS SEPULVEDA BASIN LEAVE ONE BEHIND FOR THE PUBLIC. 1979, WE DIDN'T DO THAT. NOW WE HAVE A PARKING LOT THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE, YES I HAVE BEEN AROUND THAT LONG, SINCE I WAS 10. I'M SECOND GENERATION. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU'RE TRYING TO CENSOR US ON WHAT WE SPEAK ON BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE NONE OF YOU EARN YOUR PAY BY LISTENING TO US. NONE OF YOU. IT ONLY AFFECTS YOU WHEN WE TALK BAD ABOUT YOU, RIGHT? NOW IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. TAKE THIS INPUT FROM THE CITY THAT WE TAKE THE TIME TO GIVE YOU HOW IT AFFECTS US. CAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU CANNOT MANAGE THE AREAS YOU WERE DESIGNATED TO MANAGE. THE FUNDINGS THERE, IT'S PROOF THERE, YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR TWO BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE HOMELESS, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT WHEN THEY FIRST SENT IT OUT. YOU SHOULD BE AT THE MAILBOX WAITING FOR IT, CALLING FOR THEM, UNTIL THE NEWS REPORTS BECOMES SOMETHING, YOU ARE THE NEWS!

I'M RACHEL DAWSON AND I'M A THREE-TIME OLYMPIAN IN THE SPORT OF HOCKEY FOR TEAM U.S.A.

I HAVE MY ISSUES, I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ICE RAIDS AND THE OLYMPICS ARE A SPECIAL SECURITY EVENT MEANING, THAT IMMIGRATION FORCES HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN OUR TOWN AND NOTHING THAT THIS COUNCIL DOES CAN REALLY PREVENT THEM FROM REMOVING PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S JUSTIFIED OR NOT. BUT I WANT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THE PARAOLYMPIANS HERE. [SINGING] NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL DO A CIS BECAUSE COUNCIL PRESIDENT ARE SURFING, NOW THEY WANT TO BAN GOT THEIR FEELINGS HURT, THIS WEEK SOME PEOPLE HAVE LETTERS ON COUNCIL FILE, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY KNEW IN ADVANCE AND WERE TOLD TO TAKE A STANCE CAUSE THEY'RE BACK DATED TO FEBRUARY WITH LANGUAGE THAT IS A LITTLE SCARY, THE MANUFACTURE OF CONSENT FOR A VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN OUR COUNCIL CHAMBERS, SOMEBODY SAID THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH MANY SERGEANT IN THIS DAYS, ALL GETTING FEELINGS HURT, AND NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL DO CIS BECAUSE MARQUEECE HARRIS-DAWSON AND HIS PEOPLE ARE ASTRO TURFING. >> Clerk: I WILL NOW CALL MORE NAMES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, McKAYLA. >> City Attorney: WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO ITEM 18 OR PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: GENERAL. >> City Attorney: THANK YOU YOU HAVE A MINUTE. >> Speaker: I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO ITEM 6 IN COMMITTEE BUT YOU MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE.

IT'S NICE THAT YOU'RE BUILDING NEW BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT I WISH YOU WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALREADY EXIST, IT'S IN COMPLETE KHAM BLZ, IT'S FILLED WITH ENCAMPMENTS DEBRIS FECES THERE IS ACTUAL BOOBY-TRAPS AND POPULATED BY HOMELESS PEOPLE NOT CYCLIST. AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CYCLIST ADVISING YOU ON HOW TO CONDUCT THE REPAIR SO YOU CREATE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND IT SIMILE ROTS AND NOBODY USES IT. THANKS. [APPLAUSE] >> City Attorney: SPEAKER WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO ITEM 18, GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OR BOTH? >> Speaker: I WILL SPEAK ON BOTH AND WHATEVER ELSE I CAN SPEAK ON. >> City Attorney: YOU'LL HAVE A MINUTE EACH.

THE L.A. COUNCIL IS THE MOST INCOMPETENT AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN U.S. HISTORY H.A LITTLE MAN POWERED SLEAZY MARQUEECY DAWSON NOW DRAGS THE SLEAZY COUNCIL RUNNING OUT HERE TO VAN NUYS BECAUSE THE LITTLE MAN COWARD WANTS TO ESCAPE FROM ALL THE EMERGENCY ITEMS, HOMELESSNESS EPIDEMIC, WITH 16,000 DESTROYED STRUCTURES EMERGENCY. WHAT WAS THE LITTLE MAN DOING WHILE THE CITY BURNED? JUDGE CARTER HAS THREATENED TO REMOVE ALL HOMELESS FUNDS FROM THE CONTROL OF THE CITY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN ACCOUNT FOR THE MONEY LET ALONE REDUCE HOMELESSNESS. INCOMPETENT BASS AND DAWSON HAVE GONE TO THE STATE BEGGING FOR TWO BILLION DOLLARS DUE TO THEIR MISMANAGEMENT. INCOMPETENT PARTY HARDY. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO ITEM 18, GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OR BOTH? >> Speaker: GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: YOU'LL HAVE A MINUTE. >> Speaker: GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.

THIS COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE MUST GIVE US UPDATES SO THAT WE KNOW WE'RE ON TRACK TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST OLYMPIC THAT EVER EVER TOOK PLACE. SO I WOULD HOPE THAT THERE IS MORE CONTROL BY THE MAYOR AND BY THIS COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PUT FORTH OUR BEST FOOT BECAUSE THIS IS LOS ANGELES, THIS IS A GREATEST CITY AND WE NEED A NEW SONG, WE NEED A NEW SONG. THE OLD ONE IS GOOD, I LOVE L.A. BUT HOW ABOUT A NEW ONE? CAN YOU IMAGINE COMING UP WITH A NEW ONE THAT ROCKS THE WORLD. THIS IS LOS ANGELES, WE CAN DO THAT. NOW I'M GOING TO OFFEND A FEW PEOPLE.

I'M A 25-YEAR RESIDENT OF BALBOA, I LOVE OUR COMMUNITY, WE'RE THE ONES THAT BUILT T WE'RE THE ONES THAT GOT YOU INTO THE OFFICE, WE LOST TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY THAT IT IS. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT WALKING MY DOG AND INVESTIGATING WHY THERE ARE THESE HUGE TRUCKS THERE, THAT THERE IS A LOW INCOME HOUSING 194-UNIT BUILDING WITH ONLY 80 PARKING SPOTS, FIVE STORY CALL GOING UP ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HOME, IN THE PARK, ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HIGH SCHOOL. NO ONE, WE'RE COMPLETELY LEFT IN THE DARK AND PEOPLE ARE HIDING BEHIND IT, SAYING THAT IT'S ED-1. ED1 DOES NOT PRECLUDE YOU FROM COMMUNICATING FROM THE VERY PEOPLE THAT PUT YOU IN OFFICE! [APPLAUSE] WE WOULD LIKE TO BE COMMUNICATED TO WE'RE REASONABLE AND RATIONAL PEOPLE AND WE EXPECT TO BE FAIR. WE'RE GOING TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY IN EVERY WAY WE CAN AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT FROM US. SO PLEASE GIVE US ANSWERS. GIVE US SPEED BUMPS, GIVE US PRIVATE PARKING, DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M SPEAKING ON THE BEHALF OF KIMBERLY WHO DECIDED SHE DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK AT THE LAST MINUTE. I DO HAVE TO SAY THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND DISSOLUTIONED THAT NO ONE, EXCEPT FOR YOU, NOBODY IS GOING TO PAY ATTENTION. I WAS NOT GOING TO COME UP HERE BECAUSE I FEMENT LIKE MY CONCERNS NOBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT. WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS 194-UNIT HOUSING PROJECT BEING BUILT IN THE CORNER OF LOUIS AND VICTORY. THIS IS ABOUT A A RACE OR LOWER INCOME, I'M NOT THAT PERSON, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE 78 PARKING SPOTS. WE ARE RECENTLY BEEN ZONED AS A MULTI UNIT RESIDENTIAL AREA AND EVERY OTHER HOME IN OUR BLOCK HAS BUILT AN ADU AND HAS ADDITIONAL FAMILY LIVING TL. THERE IS NO PLACE TO PARK THERE. NOT ONLY THAT BUT WE'RE GRID LOCKED. >> City Attorney: YOU CAN SPEAK TO ITEM NUMBER 18 IF YOU WOULD LIKE. >> Speaker: OKAY, THE OLYMPICS. I'M ALL FOR THE OLYMPIC.

AND YOU GUYS WERE BEHIND US, WE SHOT IT DOWN FOR THE SAME REASONS. OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL, DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. I KNOW IT'S AN E1 KAREN BASS ONE, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE HERE TO SUPPORT HER? OR YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSE TO HELP US? THE OLYMPICS, I WELCOME IT. I'M HOPING THAT THE POLLS AND THE SKATE PARKS ARE THERE TO ENJOY FOR THE COMMUNITY BUT A 1.4 ACRES LAND WITH A STORY WITH 500 UNIT BUILDING IS NOT WHAT I'M SUPPORTING. [APPLAUSE] >> Speaker: COUNCIL PUBLIC COMMENT ONLY. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. >> Speaker: WHEN I WAS WALKING IN TODAY, I CALLED ONE OF YOUR COUNCIL PEOPLE, GOOD MORNING YOUR HONOR, BUT I GET BITCHED AT BY ONE OF THE DEPUTY SAYING THAT'S RACIST. I SAID TO HIRJS I CALL THEM YOUR HONOR, THAT'S THE PROPER WAY TO DO IT. BUT I HAVE SOME LITTLE NINROD TRYING TO BITCH BECAUSE I'M A TRUMP SUPPORTER. I'LL KEEP CALLING YOU GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR, GOOD AFTERNOON, OR HAVE A NICE DAY. I WILL KEEP DOING THA. BUT I DON'T NEED SOME LITTLE NINROD THAT I CAN SQUISH AND BANKRUPT IT, TELLING ME THAT'S RACIST. THAT PERSON CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES. THANK YOU. >> Clerk: MR. COUNCIL PRESIDENT, THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME TO COUNCIL TO SPEAK TODAY. WHAT IS BEFORE US, MR. CLERK. >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, BEFORE THE COUNCIL IS ITEM 18 AND AMENDMENTS, 18 A, B AND C, HAVE ALL BEEN CIRCULATED. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, I WANT TO ASK THE LEADERSHIP OF L.A. 28 TO JOIN US. I KNOW THERE IS DISCUSSION, I'M ASSUMING THERE WILL BE QUESTIONS FOR THEM. SO MEMBERS, WHO WANTED TO ASK QUESTIONS, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME. GOING ONCE. COUNCILMEMBER PARK. >> T. Park: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. AND JUST BEFORE I BEGIN MY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL PRESIDET, I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU PERSONALLY FOR TAKING THE BATON AND TAKING THE HELM OF THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CITY AND ALSO VERY HEAVY LIFT IN THE PREPARATION AND THE PLANNING GOING FORWARD AND THANK YOU ALL ALSO FOR GIVING ME THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON LEADERSHIP IN MY COMMUNITY AT OUR L.A. RECOVERY COMMITTEE. L.A. 28, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. ON APRIL 9th, YOU I THINK WILL BE PRESENTING A OLYMPIC MASTER PLAN, THAT'S ONLY 12 DAYS FROM NOW. WILL THAT PLAN INCLUDE ALL OF THESE VENUES IN ADDITION TO OTHERS? >> YES, MA'AM. >> T. Park: OKAY. >> YAM, FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THE AD HOC. >> Council President: GENERAL WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH YOU SAY YOUR NAME AND AFFILIATION FOR THE RECORD. >> RENALD HOOVER I'M THE C A O FOR THE 28. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. YOU'RE CORRECT, THEY ASK TO PRESENT OUR FINAL VENUE PLAN AND THAT WILL INCLUDES THE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY. >> T. Park: OKAY. IF THERE ARE NEW VENUES WILL WE BE NOTIFIED BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE IOC? >> YES, MA'AM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE COUNCIL AND AD HOC COMMITTEE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE VENUES AND WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH MR. KREKORIAN AND MEMBERS OF THE STAFF. >> T. Park: ALL RIGHT, ARE YOU ABLE TO SHARE THE LIST OF VENUES? >> WE CAN DO THAT BUT NOT TODAY. >> T. Park: WHY CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT IT TODAY? >> BECAUSE WE'RE NOT READY TO GO PUBLIC WITH ALL OF OUR LISTS OF ALL THE OTHER VENUES, WE'RE CONTINUING TO DO ANALYSIS AND STUDY AND WE WILL COME TO YOU PF THAT LIST IS FINALIZED. >> T. Park: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY, COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I HAVE THIS ONE QUESTION FOR CLA AND COO AND CITY ATTORNEY ALSO PLEASE. >> Council President: IF THEY CAN JOIN US PLEASE. >> T. Park: AND CITY ATTORNEY. >> Council President: AND CITY ATTORNEY. >> T. Park: ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. JUST ONE QUESTION. THE COO AND CLA INCLUDED A RECOMMENDATION TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE ALL AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN. THAT RECOMMENDATION WAS AMENDED IN COMMITTEE. CAN YOU JUST WALK ME THROUGH THE IMPLICATIONS OF THOSE CHANGES? >> SURE, SHARON SO, CLA. THERE IS ONE BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS. THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT REFERENCES THE SPORTS THAT ARE BEFORE YOU TODAY IT REFERENCES THE CHANGES THAT WERE SUBMITTED IN THE JUNE SUBMITTAL BY JANUARY 28 AS WELL AS THE MARCH SUBMITTAL. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE SPORTS THAT HAVE THE NEW SPORTS AS WELL AS FUTURE CHANGES. SO THE, THE RECOMMENDATION IN THE ORIGINAL CAO, CLA REPORT ADDRESSED ALL CHANGES THAT WOULD BE COMING UP LATER. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMMITTEE REPORT ONLY DEALS WITH WHAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY. >> T. Park: ALL RIGHT. OKAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS. I THINK IF, IF DONE RIGHT, THE 2028 OLYMPICS ARE GOING TO BE A HUGE PART OF OUR CITY'S RECOVERY. AND AS WE WELCOME THE WORLD TO LOS ANGELES, AND WE HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY I THINK TO REALLY CONVEY ALL OF THE QUALITIES THAT MAKE L.A. L.A. OUR STRENGTH, OUR RESILIENCE AND WHEN UNDER PRESSURE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER UNDER A LARGE SCALE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THESE OLYMPICS ARE GOING TO COME AT A MOMENT WHEN OUR CITY IS GOING TO NEED THEM AND US THE MOST. I THINK APPROVING THESE VENUES TODAY IS A BIG STEP FORWARD AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO TO BRING CERTAINITY TO THE PROCESS AND CERTAINLY TO OUR CITY DEPARTMENT WHO HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AHEAD TO PREPARE, AS WELL FOR METRO AND LAX AND ALL OF OUR PARTNERS THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE A HAND AT SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY. BUT I HAVE ALSO NOT BEEN QUIET ABOUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE. I THINK WE ARE MISSING SOME MAJOR OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOWCASE OUR CITY'S UNIQUE ASSETS, AND COMMUNITY AND LANDSCAPES. WE'RE GIVING AWAY SPORTS TO PLACES AND OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT WERE BORN HERE IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES THAT HAVE DEEP CULTURAL TIES TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR COMMUNITIES SURFING SKATEBOARDING, VOLLEYBALL, AND SO MANY OTHERS. I ALSO FEEL LIKE ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE BEING ASKED TO CAST OUR VOTES WHEN WE HAVE AN INCOMPLETE PICTURE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE SEEN AS A COUNCIL AGAIN AND AGAIN AND A REPEATEDLY LEADS TO BAD OUTCOMES. BUT I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL GAMES AND THAT OUR RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES AND WORKERS AND THE CITY'S BOTTOM LINE ARE PROTECTED AND ACCRUED THE GREATEST BENEFITS AS WE CAN FOR OUR CITY. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO A ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS TODAY AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE THIS MONUMENTAL EFFORT FORWARD. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBER PARK AND THANK YOU FOR THE LEG OF THE MARATHON THAT YOU CARRIED THIS COMMITTEE, LEADING THIS COMMITTEE. THIS COMMITTEE HAS HAD A FULL MARATHON OF CHAIRS AND I THINK WHAT I GOT THE BATON, IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE, THE WORK HAD BEEN DONE, RESEARCHED THOROUGHLY AND THE CITY'S INTEREST PUT ON THE FRONT BURNER. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND THANK YOU FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGE MANY. --ACKNOWLEDGMENT. MR. McOSKER. >> T. McOsker: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. PRESIDENT. COUNCILMEMBER PARK, I FEEL YOU, I COMPLETELY FEEL YOU AND I HAVE A STORY THAT IS A LITTLE MORE FOCUSED AND A LITTLE BIT MORE DISTURBING. I HAVE A PENDING MOTION, I HAVE A MOTION I THINK IT'S 18-A TO AMEND THIS VENUE PLAN. AND LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON IT. IT INVOLVES SAILING AND WE KNOW THAT WAY BACK WHEN, SAILING WAS PROPOSED FOR SAN PEDRO AND QUICKLY BECAME ANOTHER JURISDICTION BEFORE MY TIME ON COUNCIL. I WILL TELL YOU THAT IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, LA2 8 APPROACHED THIS CITY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING AN ANALYSIS WHETHER SAN PEDRO IS A BETTER SELECTION BECAUSE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL DOWN. THE ENTIRE SAILING COMMUNITY SAYS THAT, THE VENUE IN SAN PEDRO OR WHAT I'LL CALL HURRICANE OR THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES HAS FANTASTIC CONSISTENT WINDS. HAS THE CAPACITY FOR ABOUT 10,000 SPECK FATER. THE VENUE THAT IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERED FOR SAILING HAS THE XATIONITY FOR ZERO SPECTATORS. ZERO. ZERO SPECTATORS. OWNED AND OPERATED BY REC AND PARKS WHICH HAS A DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH OF COURSE L.A. 28. THE VENUE WHICH IS NOW FOR THE BRIEF MOMENT AND NOT MUCH LONGER GOING TO BE THE SAILING VENUE IS COMPRISED OF A LESS PROTECTED PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LANDS. THE VENUE THAT IS CONSIDERED NOW DOES NOT HAVE ELECTRICAL OR FIBER CAPACITY. IT WILL HAVE TO BE BUILT UP. THE ENTIRE COMPLEX HAS MASSIVE POWER BECAUSE IT'S ALSO A PLACE THAT CAN BE USED FOR OVERFLOW CRUISE VESSELS SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE POWER AND FIBER CAPACITY AND A LITTLE EVENT CALLED FLEET WEEK WHERE LAST YEAR, WE HAD A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ON THE WATER PERFECTLY PROTECTED ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE IT WAS ALLOWED. IT WAS AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, WHEN L.A. 28 CAME TO US, CAME TO US AND SAID WE WANT TO ANALYZE IT, WE WERE ABLE TO ANALYZE WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR THE ATHLETE? BETTER WIND AND SPECTATORS. FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT SAN PEDRO WOULD BE THE SAFEST, SAFEST OLYMPIC EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF OLYMPICS, GIVEN OUR CAPACITIES. WHAT WOULD BE FOR FINANCES? YOU WILL HEAR FROM THESE GUYS WHO WILL TELL YOU, OH A NEW SITE WE'LL HAVE TO SPEND TEN MILLION DOLLARS WITH NO MATH. WHEN I CAME IN SCHOOL, THE NUNS TOLD US, SHOW YOUR MATH, SHOW YOUR WORK. WE DID NOTHING. BUT SELLING TICKETS TO THE NUMBER OF 10,000 OR ZERO HAS A MATHEMATIC AND FINANCIAL DIFFERENCE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BORN BY LONG BEACH, IT'S GOING TO BE BORNE BY US. THEY WILL SAY OH THIS IS AN OLYMPIC THAT WE HAD SO MUCH IN LOS ANGELES. THAT'S NOT MY ARGUING POINT. MY POINT IS THAT, MOVING SAILING TO SAN PEED RA IS BETTER FOR THE ATHLETE, FOR THE SPORT OF SABLESINGER BETTER FOR SECURITY, BETTER FOR THE VIEWER AND BETTER FOR LOS ANGELES BETTER FOR US FINANCIALLY. WHEN WE SAY THAT THIS IS BEEN STUDIED AND STUDIED AND STUDIED, MAYBE IT'S BEEN STUDIED SHOW YOUR MATH! SHOW US. WHAT I'M ASKING TODAY IS VOTE YES, IT SAYS WE WILL APPROVE YOUR PLAN. I'M NOT QUESTIONING IF WE SHOULD GO TO OKLAHOMA FOR SOMETHING. BUT I DON'T QUESTION THAT BUT I QUESTION A MISTAKE. LET'S DO SOMETHING FOR THE SPORT FOR THE OLYMPIC MOVEMENT. MOST IMPORTANT LET'S DO TO THE SPECTATOR, THERE WILL BE NO BODY ON THE OTHER VENUE AND THOUSANDS ON THIS VENUE. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SIR. >> Council President: THANK YOU, MR. McOSKER. [APPLAUSE] ANY OTHER SPEAKERS ON THE QUEUE? I'LL GIVE L.A. 28 AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND IF THEY WOULD LIKE. IF NOT WE CAN TAKE VOTES ON AMENDMENTS IN ORDER. ALL RIGHT, IT LOOKS LIKE FOLKS WANT TO TAKE VOTES AND GET OUT TO HAVE A GOOD SAN FERNANDO LUNCH. >> Clerk: BEFORE THE COUNCIL IS 18-C INTRODUCED BY COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS-DAWSON SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. >> Council President: IT IS A TECHNICAL AMENDMENT LET'S OPEN THE ROLL ON 18C, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 14 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT. >> Clerk: AMENDMENT 18-B INTRODUCED BY COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER LEE. >> Council President: MR. BLUMENFIELD ANYTHING ELSE? >> B. Blumenfield: TO GET AN ECONOMIC STUDY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT SECURITY AND TRANSPORTATION ARE INCLUDED BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING OUR POCKETBOOK. IT SHOULD BE STRAIGHTFORWARD. >> Council President: COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ. >> M. Rodriguez: MR. BLUMENFIELD, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMENDMENT. REGARDLESS WHAT ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES WE'RE IN, WE HAVE TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND NOT ENTRUSTING IT TO OTHER OPINIONS. THANK YOU. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT. I SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS LET'S OPEN THE ROLL ON 18-B, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 14 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT AND NOW TO 18C WHICH WE HAVE PRESENTATION ON. >> Clerk: IT WOULD BE 18-A. >> Council President: 18-A WHICH WE GOT A PRESENTATION ON. OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 12 AYES, 2 NOES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: AND LASTLY THE COUNCIL WOULD BE ADVISED TO TAKE UP ITEM 18 AS AMENDED. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, LET'S OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 14 AYES. >> Clerk: AND MR. PRESIDENT, THERE IS A REQUEST TO SEND ITEM 18 AND 20 FORTHWITH. >> Council President: WITHOUT OBJECTION, THAT WILL BE THE ORDER. WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: THE COUNCIL HAS MOTIONED FOR POSTED AND REFERRAL. >> Council President: THEY ARE POSTED AND REFERRED. ANNOUNCEMENTS MEMBERS? TO MY LEFT? TO MY RIGHT? SEEING NONE. COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA? >> I. Padilla: I WOULD LIKE TO ITEM 20 FORTH W. >> CouncilPresident: 2-0 FORTHWITH, WITHOUT OBJECTION. >> E. Hernandez: WE'LL BE STARTING OUR AD HOC COMMITTEE AT 1:15. >> Council President: HERE IN THE VALLEY? >> E. Hernandez: YES. >> Council President: CLUTCH. COUNCILMEMBER McOSKER. >> T. McOsker: I HAVE A ANNOUNCE PT THAT LOOKS BACK AT HISTORY. TODAY WE'RE GOING TO COMMEMORATE AT UNITED STATES VERSUS WONG KIM ARC, THAT WAS A LANGUAGE MARK SUPREME COURT DECISION DELIVERED ON MARCH 28, 1898.

LET'S THIS SERVE AS A ROLE THAT GOOD RULINGS HAVE PLAYED AND REFLECT ON CONTINUING BIRTH RIGHTS AND CITIZENSHIP AND DIGNITYITY. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU, MR. McOSKER, ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS, MR. LEE? NO? SEEING NO OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS, I ASK EVERYBODY TO RISE FOR ADJOURNMENTS. >> >> Council President: ANY ADJOURNING MOTIONS TO MY RIGHT? ANY TO MY LEFT? ALL RIGHT, WE ARE ADJOURNED. STAY SAFE, EVERYBODY.
