better about what their future looks. But if people really want to get some information, what's happening in your office and with the county supervisor users and all the things that we've discussed, what's best way for them to find out? The best way to call two, one, one. Got it. That is kind of our our major center where people can call. And if you speak different languages or people operators that will speak to you and direct direct you to the right department, then they can go to la la county gov. They can also call our offices Board of Supervisors, La Antigua boss, and they can look up whatever where they live, if who their representative is, which supervisor it is for us it's two, one, 3974 4111. That's phone number for the first district. Well, thank you. Taking the time out of your busy schedule and I will talk to you before you end up your term. So promise me that I will. Okay. Thank you. It's a pleasure thank you. It's always good to be here . And that's a wrap on this L.A. Currence. Hello, everyone. I'm Huckle. And here's what's happening in. LA This week, the Los Angeles Police Department South Bureau collaborated with other leaders at their first annual Human Trafficking Summit. This event aimed to bring awareness and support to help put end to human trafficking. Our hope is to end the horrific crime of trafficking in our city. We are at the beehive in Los Angeles for our first annual south bureau, Human Trafficking, Prevention and Summit. This is what it looks when we love our community and do the work that needs to be to make sure all of our folks even the folks on the edges have the kind of community that we all deserve to live in. When I look at it, this room, this is beautiful room. This is so great. Have policymakers and policy and the do gooders and nonprofits and survivors here all together we have federal local state and city partners here today to just bring awareness. Our corridor is known across the country as being the main track for human trafficking in our city. Last year alone, our operation in South Bureau of Human Trafficking Task Force, over 121 girls off the figure work corridor. The stretch of Figueroa quarter that we were working on I think it's got 23 churches and schools and so you look at that and it's really a family neighborhood. There are families who deserve a neighborhood that feels safe. Young kids walking to and from school, seeing girls half dressed. And that's just not right. You shouldn't see that in our communities this okay this can be this can be stopped and we should all come together, end the horrific crime of human trafficking. We see you, hear you, and we are here for you. The one five, the Department of Recreation and Parks and Play LA made what's home to the city's first all access skate. This new community hub welcomes of all abilities to role way they choose and celebrate with community. We are at the grand opening of our skate park and watch and you can see that there are just hundreds of folks enjoying it. This the 30th skate park for the Department of Recreation and Parks. This is the first all access skate park individuals that need accessibility access to the skate park they have it here one of a kind first in the city skating community creates safe outdoor spirit to participate in for all have people from all over the community coming to skate. We got pros, we have Olympians. We young skaters skating for their first time. We have 65 year old wheelchair motocross riders grinding across 20 foot boxes. It's a beautiful thing, you know, one of the great things about skateboarding is like there's no lead feeds or uniforms all you need is a skateboard and you can do it. So we're out here today giving away skateboards, helmets and pads through a partnership with the East Side riders, we're really excited to get some some new kids who've never skated, know, create that opportunity by giving them the hardware they need to do it. It is a world facility to have a like this in a storied neighborhood like watch is just a beautiful thing because know that community amenities like this bring greater community health. We know now from the US beyond the board study that skateboarding and skate parks mental health they foster a sense of community and we're seeing that here today everyone across the one five and across the city can come right here and Wilmington opened all welcoming the new skate park will be seven days a week. That's to dawn to learn more about our programs and activities that we offer, please LA Parks .org. Just want to say just skate it and enjoy treasure it and own it because it's yourd improve your mental health? Street vendors are a vital part of Angeles, but obtaining the proper permits is not always an easy task. Councilman Unisys Hernandez brought together city and county agencies for the first sidewalk vendor resource fair. The district hopes this event is the first of many. Let's learn some more more. We at the Gupta Institute in MacArthur Park and, they very generously hosted this space for a sidewalk permit workshop to help sidewalk across Council District one get their permits, especially in the MacArthur Bonney brand Salvadoran corridor areas absolutely want this to be the first of multiple in Council District one, and we're really excited that this is the first one we had really excellent turnout.

I WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR PASS ING THE ORDINANCE BACK IN OCTOBER. I WAS HERE TALK TO GO HNH TWO WEEKS WHERE WE HAD THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT AND CITY ATTORNEY SITTING HERE AND NOT GIVE AN EXPLANATION FOR WHY THERE HAVE BEEN SUCH A DELAY IN WRITING THIS ORDINANCE. NOW DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAD TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE CITY AGENCY SIMILE CAN'T PULL IT TOGETHER TO WRITE THE ORDINANCE. IT'S UNFORTUNATELY THAT YOU ALL, ALL THE STAFFERS, ALL THE PEOPLE HERE, ALL THE PEOPLE HAVING TO TALK ABOUT OTHER ISSUES HAVE TO SIT HERE TO DEAL WITH THE DELAYING OF A THING SIMPLY BECAUSE OUR AGENCIES CAN'T DO THIS WORK AND WE DON'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION WHY THAT IS. SO THIS IS A NO-BRAINER, OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL PASSED THIS ALREADY. WE WANT IT TO HAPPEN. WE SHOULD EXTEND THE INTERIM ORDINANCE SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET EVICTED. BUT WHAT IS GOING ON? WITHIN THE AGENCIES? IT'S BAD FOR PUBLIC TRUST. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. >> Speaker: GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS GRACE HUTT. I'M HERE TO SHOW MY SUPPORT FOR ITEM 19. CITY COUNCIL ALREADY RECOGNIZED THIS AS A HARMFUL AND COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY BASIS FOR EVICTION BH THEY CREATED A REHABITY ABILITY PROGRAM AND SFOPG THESE EVICTIONS WAS A NON CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE COUNCIL O*FS THAT'S ARE MOVING THIS FORWARD, 3, 13, AND 14. AS AN ATTORNEY, I JUST WANT THIS BODY TO KNOW HOW UNIQUE AND UNPRECEDENTED AND RARE AND WEIRD AND A-TYPICAL THE INTERIM CONTROL ORDINANCE THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY PUT OUT THIS ITEM WAS. I WON IN FRONT OF COURTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTY FOR YEARS, THE ARGUMENT THAT A NEW TENANT PROTECTION APPLIES TO ALL EVICTION CASES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RENDERED INTO A FINAL JUDGMENT. THAT IS SETTLED LAW. I WIN THAT ARGUMENT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. AND YET THE CITY ATTORNEY DESPITE THIS COUNCIL'S WISHES CREATED A CARVE OUT ARGUING AND SCARING THIS BODY THAT THIS PROTECTION WOULD BE RETROACTIVE OR THAT LANDLORDS NEEDED SOME PROTECTION IF THEY HAD ALREADY TAKEN STEPS. THAT WOULD BE A GROSS DEPARTURE ON HOW DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN LEGISLATED IN THE PAST. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, THAT IS YOUR TIME.

AND IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE RENT IS SO HIGH WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSE TO GO, THE STREET? >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: WITH WHAT WE HAVE, WE CAN ONLY PAY THE RENT AND WITH THE LITTLE THAT IS LEFT, WE JUST SURVIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: ARE WE GOING TO END UP ON THE STREETS, IT'S HARD TO GET INTO A GOVERNMENT APARTMENT. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: WE DON'T HAVE A LOT TO PICK FROM IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. I'M ALONE. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: I'M SORRY, I GET EMOTIONAL. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE MEETING WITH THE OWNER BUT WE DON'T HAVE MUCH HOPE. >> Council President: GRACIAS. >> Translator: THANK YOU. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. >> Speaker: BUENOS DIAS MI NOMBRE ES MARTHA. >> Translator: GOOD MORNING I'MLE MARTHA CARRILLO AND I LIVE IN BOYLE HEIGHTS. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: AND WE'VE ALREADY GOENT AN EVICTION NOTICE DUE TO SUBSTANTIAL REMODELING AND WE'RE HOPING THAT WE WON'T GEL EVICTED. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: MY FAMILY IS VERY STRESSED DUE TO THE SITUATION THAT WE'RE LIVING THROUGH. >> Speaker: [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> Translator: THE RENTS ARE SO HIGH AND WE CANNOT PAY MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE PAYING AT THE MOMENT.

THERE IS A GROUP OF TENANTS HERE TODAY THAT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THEIR CASES FOR TWO YEARS NOW, THEIR THIRD EVICTION WAS FILED IN NOVEMBER RIGHT AFTER THE COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY DRAFTED THE MOTION TO DRAFT AN ICO AND NOW THEY'RE EXPOSED TO EVICTION ONCE AGAIN. IT'S THEIR STORIES THAT INSPIRED THIS MOTION TO BEGIN WITH SO WE CANNOT AFFORD TO EXPOSE THEM TO EVICTION. I URGE TO YOU VOTE YES ON THIS AMENDMENT. THANK YOU. >> Speaker: HI COUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS PHOEBE I'M AN ORGANIZER WITH THE LOS ANGELES TENANTS UNION AND IN OCTOBER MOST OF YOU WERE A PART OF A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO PASS THE SUBSTANTIAL REMODEL EVICTIONS. THAT URGENCY CLAUSE WAS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE CITY ATTORNEY WHOSE FEET DRAGGED THEIR FEET. ONE SUCH LANDLORD ERIC WHO IS NONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS FILED A THIRD ROUND OF UNLAWFUL DETAINERS. I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIS THAT IF YOU DON'T PASS THE ORDINANCE TODAY WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM, PEOPLE HERE TODAY, PEOPLE WHO TOOK TIMEOUT OF THEIR BUSY LIFES AND SCHEDULES TO BE HERE THAT WILL GET EVICT THED.

YOU MAY HEAR THINGS THAT ARE OFFENSIVE, WE APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S PATIENCE THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS BODY, THIS CITY OR ANY MEMBER AGREES WITH THOSE THINGS BUT THE FIRST AMENDMENT REQUIRES THAT WE ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT IN THIS CASE ON ITEM NUMBER 19.

COLLEAGUES, WELL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY PASSED JANUARY 27 WHICH IS THE LIBERATION OF AUSHWITZ, THAT PASSED BUT I STILL WANTED US TO TAKE A MOMENT TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE AND REMEMBER. THE WAY TO DO THAT TODAY IS TO HONOR HILLARY HOUSECITY. HILLARY HAS SPENT DECADES HELPING TO TELL THE STORIES OF JEWS AND THOSE WHO SUFFERED AND PERISHED DURING THE HOLOCAUST. ONE OF THE WAY THAT HILLARY HAS DONE THIS IS THROUGH THE L.A. JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL IT'S AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL IT'S PRETTY AMAZING. IT HAS BROUGHT PEOPLE SUCH AS SENATOR, MATTHEW AND TOO MANY OTHERS TO MENTION TOGETHER THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BLACK JEWISH ENTERTAINMENT ALLIANCE, THE COUNCIL GENERAL OF POLAND, GERMANY AND MANY OTHERS. THIS INCLUDES PANELS IN HONOR OF THE LATE CONGRESSMAN LEWIS AND RUTH. AND FROM SUPPORT FROM THE ADL, AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE, I CAN, THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM, HILLARY HAS BEEN ABLE TO BRING CUTTING EDGE FILMS TO LOS ANGELES EVERY YEAR. AND SHE CELEBRATES THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE BUT FILM. THIS YEAR I WANT TO HONOR HILLARY HERSELF, THE MOVIE WAS ONE FEATURED AROUND THE CITY. HILLARY'S MOVE SEE IS CALLED "AS SEEN THROUGH THESE EYES" IT WAS NARRATED BY MAYA ANGELOU AND FOCUSED ON PRISONERS IN PRISON CAMPS. WE HAVE A LITTLE CLIP OF THIS SPECIAL FILM WHICH WE'RE GOING TO ASK TO PLAYWRIGHT NOW. IF WE CAN ROLL THE CLIP. >> THE CAGED BIRD SINGS WITH A FEARFUL TRAIL OF THINGS UNKNOWN THAT LONG FOR STILL. HIS TUNE IS HEARD ON THE DISTANT HILL. FOR THE CAGED BIRD SINGS >> I LIKE TO MAKE THIS PICTURES FOR THE WORLD. >> I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY MEMORIES. I HAVE TO DO IT WITHOUT A QUESTION. >> I HAVE TALKED THROUGH THAT PATH AND SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES. FOR THESE CAGED BIRDS, ART WAS THEIR LIBERATION SONG. >> B. Blumenfield: AS YOU SAW PEOPLE THAT FOUGHT HITLER WITH ONLY THINGS THEY HAD. PEN AND PAPER. EVERY STORY IS HEART BREAKING AND FRIGHTENING. FOR THESE REASONS AND RECOUNT THIS TIME, I WANT TO HONOR HILLARY THIS YEAR FOR HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO SAY A FEW WORDS. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. >> Speaker: I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, BOB. I REALLY DEEPLY APPRECIATE THIS AND THE CITY COUNCIL AND JOHN, I DON'T KNOW WHERE JOHN WENT, THERE HE IS, JOHN POPPICH FOR THIS RECOGNITION TODAY. I'M DEEPLY MOVED AND HUMBLED TO BE IN FRONT OF SO MANY COMMUNITY LEADERS AND CHANGE MAKERS AND AMONG YOUR ESTEEMED GUESTS. MY CAREER FOCUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY COMMITMENT TO GIVE TO COMMUNITIES TEACHING EMPATHY AND COMPASSION AND GIVING A VOICE TO SURVIVORS. I'M HONORED TO BE RECOGNIZED IN MY WORK AND MY DEDICATION TO HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE AND KEEPING THE MEMORY ALIVE OF THOSE WE HAVE LOST. I STAND HERE AS A FILMMAKER WHO EMBARKED IN A TEN-YEAR JOURNEY TO DOCUMENT AND SHARE A STORY ABOUT BRAVE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO USED ART AS THEIR WEAPONRY SURVIVAL AND LEARNING. STORIES THAT ARE ALWAYS CURRENT AS THESE LESSONS OF HUMANITY ARE NEVER OUT OF DATE. MY PURPOSE WITH THIS FILM WAS TO CAPTURE THEIR STORIES BEFORE THEY WERE GONE. TO SHARE THEM WITH THE WORLD AND TEACH CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE. THE FILM SCREENED AND WON AWARD ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WHEN IT PLAYED AT THE UNITED NATION SXZ EU HEADQUARTERS, EACH INTERNATIONAL OFFICE OF OVER 500 SEEING A REMARKABLE IMPACT AS A FILM, WAS EYE-OPENING, KNOWING THESE SURVIVAL STORIES REACHED THE HEARTS OF SO MANY PEOPLE. THERE WERE QUESTIONS FROM THOSE NOT FAMILIAR AT ALL WITH THE SUBJECT FTD HOLOCAUST AND THOSE WHO WERE TOO FAMILIAR WITH IT. SADLY, OUR HIGH SCHOOLERS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLERS NOW ARE THE LAST WITNESSED TO THESE SURVIVORS AND THEIR STORIES TOLD FIRSTHAND. THIS FILM AND THESE ART WORK WILL REMAIN THEIR LEGACY. ENTERTAINMENT AND CINEMA HAVE BEEN THE COMMON THREAT THAT CARRIES US THROUGH CHALLENGE TIMES SHARING THE LOVE OF MOVIES WITH EACH OTHER. I'M EQUALLY HONORED TO BE HERE ATZ DIRECTOR OF LOS ANGELES JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL TAKING THE FILM EXPERIENCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL. MY MISSION HERE IS DEVOTED TO PRESENTING AN ARRAY OF FILMS ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST ANTI-SEMITISM AND CULTURE TO THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE DIVERSE AUDIENCE TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATION AND BUILD BRIDGES OF UNDERSTANDING AND TOLERANCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS IS HOW CHANGE IS MADE. WE SAW THE OPPORTUNITY THAT SHARING STORIES THROUGH FILM AND THE WORK OF PUTTING ON A FESTIVAL BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER TO BUILD AND EXPERIENCE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL. THE FILM ALLOW US TO SEE ASPECTS OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE OBVIOUS. WE OPEN PEOPLE MINDS TO NEW IDEAS AND STORIES, EDUCATE THEM IN HISTORICAL AND CURRENT EVENTS AND TAKE THEM BEYOND WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND OF THE WORLD. WE SHOW DOCUMENTARIES THAT OPEN EYES, DRAMA THAT OPEN HEARTS AND HELP PEOPLE TO LAUGH WHEN TIMES ARE TOUGH. OVER THE YEARS, WE EX PANELEDED VENUES ALL OVER THE CITY AND VALLEY WORK WITHING CITY COUNCILMEMBERS TO TARGET UNDER SERVED COMMUNITIES. WITH THEIR SUPPORT THAT INSTINCT AND VISION TO CREATE THIS FESTIVAL THAT'S BLOSSOMED INTO L.A. INSTITUTION. EMBARKING IN OUR 20th YEAR WE SEE INDELABLE IMPACT WE HAVE MADE. WHETHER IT WAS OUR GUESTS MELL BROOKS IN A TRIBUTE TO GENE WILDER, PETER AND TRIBUTE TO CARL EMILY AND CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD OR THE Q & A WITH SENATOR COREY BOOKER INSTALLING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE JEWISH AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. OUR FILMS CONTINUE TO HAVE AN AFFECT ON ALL AGES, ETHNICITIES AND BACK GROUNDS CONTINUE TO GO STRENGTHEN THE COMMON BOND BETWEEN THE DIVERSE PEOPLE WHICH IS LOS ANGELES. ONCE AGAIN, I'M HONORED TO RECEIVE THIS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU, BOB AND THE CITY COUNCIL. >> B. Blumenfield: THANK YOU. UNLESS THERE IS ANYONE ON THE QUEUE. ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CITY COUNCIL WE WANTED GIVE YOU THIS CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION. >> Council President: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD.
