Rodriguez: THANK YOU, GOOD MORNING, COLLEAGUES. WELL I'M VERY EXCITED AND--GET OVER HERE. I'M VERY EXCITED THAT TODAY WE WILL BE CELEBRATING AND RECOGNIZING TWO REMARKABLE ORGANIZATIONS THAT CONTINUE TO CARRY FORWARD AN IMPORTANT AND ICONIC LEGACY. OF OUR GREAT ONE OF OUR GREATEST CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY CAESAR CHAVEZ, AS ANGELINOS AND AS A CITY THAT LIVES AND SURVIVES ON LABOR, ON THE PRECIOUS HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO SACRIFICE SO MUCH IN PARTICULAR WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SACRIFICE THAT'S ARE MADE BIT FARMWORKERS THAT KEEP US FED. IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD, AS WE SAW THEM TOIL THE FIELDS DURING COVID WITH VERY LITTLE PROTECTIONS IF ANY PROTECTIONS, WE'RE HERE CELEBRATING THE LEGACY AND REMARKABLE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE OF A COMMUNITY THAT HAS CONTINUED TO SHOW UP FOR US IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD. AND IT'S FOR THAT REASON THAT WE ARE HERE CELEBRATING REMARKABLE LEGACY OF AN ICONIC LEADER IN THE CONTINUED WORK OF BOTH THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION AND THE NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER. TWO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NOT ONLY PRESERVING HISTORY BUT ACTIVELY TRANSFORMING LIVES TODAY. CAN YOU PLEASE JOIN ME IN GIVING THEM A GREAT ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] NOW WE KNOW THIS WORK WAS NOT JUST LEAD BY CAESAR CHAVEZ ALONE, IT WAS JOINED BY OTHER INCREDIBLE VISIONARY LEADERS LIKE DOLORES HUERTA AND GILBERT PADILLA, THEY KNEW THAT A UNION CAN FIGHT FOR SAFE WAGES IN THE FIELDS BUT IT WOULD TAKE AN ENTIRE MOVEMENT THAT WOULD FOLLOW FARMERS HOME. SXIL TELL YOU I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD TO BE LEADING THIS PRESENTATION TODAY. AS THE DAUGHTER OF WORKING CLASS IMMIGRANTS, AS THE GRANDDAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER OF FAMILY MEMBERS, MY DAD WORKED IN THE FIELDS AS A YOUNG MAN, BECAUSE LIKE SO MANY OF OUR FAMILIES, THAT WAS THE WORK THAT WAS AVAILABLE AND AFFORDED TO WORKING FAMILIES TO MAKE IT IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVED. AND SO MANY OF OUR STORIES, LEAD US THERE. SO MANY OF THE FILIPINO-AMERICAN STORIES WERE IN THOSE FIELDS AS WELL. SO IT'S FOR THAT REASON THAT I'M REALLY PROUD TO BE CELEBRATING AND HONORING THIS INCREDIBLE LEGACY THAT IS DESERVING OF SO MUCH RESPECT AND ADMIRATION. BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT UPLIFTING LATINO COMMUNITIES AND WORKING FAMILIES AND ENSURING THAT THEY HAD ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING EDUCATION HEALTHCARE AND A DIGNIFIED LIFE. THE VISION LIVES ON WITH THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION AND NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER TWO ORGANIZATION THAT'S ARE ACTIVELY TRANSFORMING LIVES TODAY THROUGH THIS WORK. THE CHAVEZ FOUNDATION WAS BORN FROM THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE 1960s, TODAY 7 DECADES LATER, THE FOUNDATION CONTINUES ITS MISSION OF REALIZING CAESAR CHAVEZ LIFE WORK IT UPLIFTS LATINO AND WORKING FAMILIES THROUGH ITS VITAL SOCIAL ENTERPRISES. THE FOUNDATION IMPACT IS FELT IN COMMUNITIES OF ACROSS FOUR SOUTHWESTERN STATES WHERE THEY HAVE BUILT OR RENOVATED MORE THAN FOUR DOZEN HIGH-QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITIES. THESE ARE NOT JUST BUILDING, THEY ARE HOMES WITH COMMUNITY ROOMS, SI SE PUEDE LEARNING CENTERS AND LEARNING CENTERS HELPING OUR ELDERS STAY ACTIVE. TOGETHER THEY SERVE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS WITH ASSETS APPROACHING ONE BILLION DOLLARS. THE CHAVEZ FOUNDATION ALSO OWNS AND OPERATES CHAVEZ MEDIA, REACHING MILLIONS WITH SPANISH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE BROADCAST AND DIGITAL RADIO STATIONS ACROSS CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, NEVADA AND GEORGIA, ITS FLAGSHIP RADIO CAMPESINA FOUNDED BY CAESAR CHAVEZ IN 1963 WHICH WAS ONE OF THE TOOLS TO ORGANIZE FARMWORKERS KEEPING LATINOS AND WORKING FAMILIES INFORMED AND EMPOWERED. AND THROUGH ITS EDUCATION FUND THE FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING A JUST SOCIETYITY OFFERING VITAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLS TO UNDER RESOURCES COMMUNITIES. ALWAYS FOLLOWING CAESAR'S BELIEVE IN SERVING THE HEART AND THE MIND. WE ALSO HONOR THE NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER, AN ESSENTIAL ARM OF THE CHAVEZ FOUNDATION. IT'S DEDICATE TODAY PRESERVING CAESAR CHAVEZ LEGACY NOT ONLY AS A HISTORICAL FIGURE BUT INSPIRATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE CENTER OWNS AND MANAGES AND PRESERVE SITES SUCH AS 40 ACRES IN DELANO CALIFORNIA WHERE THE FARM MOVEMENT BEGAN. IT ALSO STEWARDS NUESTRA REYNA WHERE CAESAR CHAVEZ SPENT HIS FINAL YEARS. A PORTION OF THIS 187 ACRE PROPERTY IS NOW HOME TO THE CAESAR E CHAVEZ NATIONAL MONUMENTED VISITED BY THOUSANDS EACH YEAR MANAGED AND PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE WHICH MEANS, THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ARE NOW MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER GIVEN THAT FUNDING IS BEING PULLED FROM OUR NATIONAL PARKS. THE CENTER ALSO OVERSEES VIA PAZ CENTER WHERE ACTIVIST LABOR LEADERS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS STILL GATHER FULFILLING CAESAR CHAVEZ'S DREAM OF A PLACE OF LEARNING AND EMPOWERMENT. AND THROUGH THOSE PROGRAMS NATIONAL INITIATIVE AND ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS, THE NATIONAL CAESAR CHAVEZ CENTER ENSURES THAT CAESAR CHAVEZ CORE VALUES, NON VIOLENCE, SEFBS TO OTHERS --SERVICE TO OTHERS REMAINS ALIVE TODAY. IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE A SPEAKER TODAY, CEO OF THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION, MANUEL BERN AL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS AND ESTEEMED COMMUNITY LEADERS. AS COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ WELL MENTIONED MY NAME IS MANUEL BERNAL AND I HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING AS CEO OF CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION. ON BEHALF OF THE CAESAR CHAVEZ BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND FAMILY AND ENTIRE CAESAR CHAVEZ ORGANIZATION WHO ARE WITH ME TODAY, I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEP GRATITUDE FOR THIS RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE LEGACY OF CAESAR CHAVEZ AND ON GOING WORK OF THE FOUNDATION THAT BEARS ITS NAME. ANDRES CHAVEZ GRANDSON OF CAESAR CHAVEZ WHO IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NONPROFIT SUBSIDIARY OF THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION WAS SUPPOSE TO BE HERE TODAY BUT HE IS NOT. YOU MAY KNOW THAT ARIZONA CONGRESSMAN RAUL PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. HE WAS A KEY RANKING MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE IN CONGRESS WHICH OVERSEES THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. CONGRESSMAN, WAS KEY IN SUPPORTING AND CREATING THE CHAVEZ NATIONAL MONUMENT THAT CITY COUNCIL RODRIGUEZ MENTIONED, IT'S THE 398th UNIT OF THE PARK AND HELPS KEEP CAESAR CHAVEZ STORY ALIVE FOR ALL AMERICANS. IN ADDITION, HE WAS A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF FARMWORKERS AND LASTLY HE REPRESENTED THE AREA IN ARIZONA WHERE CEASAR WAS BORN, YUMA ARIZONA. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO HAVE ANDRES GO AND BE PART OF THE SERVICES TODAY. AS I SPEAK HERE TODAY, HIS SERVICES ARE BEING HELD IN ARIZONA. SO WITH THAT SAID, I WANT TO EXTEND A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU, TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THIS CONTINUED SUPPORT, I LIKE TO PARTICULARLY MENTION THE SUPPORT OF COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA RODRIGUEZ HARRIS-DAWSON, PRICE AND HUTT. FOR YOUR RECOGNITION OF THE CAESAR CHAVEZ LEGACY AWARDS. YOUR PARTNERSHIP HELPS ENSURE THAT CAESAR CHAVEZ LEGACY AND VALUES CONTINUES TO INSPIRE GENERATIONS. CAESAR CHAVEZ WAS MORE THAN LABOR LEADER, HE WAS A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE, A VOICE FOR THE HOMELESS, A MAN GUIDED BY A DEEP MORAL CON CONVICTION AND DIGNITY AND JUSTICE BELONG TO EVERY ONE NO MATTER WHAT BACKGROUND OR STATION IN LIFE. HIS LIFE'S WORK WAS ROOTED IN THE BELIEF THAT THROUGH NON VIOLENCE SACRIFICE AND COLLECTIVE ACTION REAL CHANGE IS POSSIBLE. THIS YEAR MARKS THE 90th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DELENO GRAPE STRIKE A DEFINING MOMENT IN THE HISTORY. IT WAS LEAD BY FARMWORKERS, ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO RISKED EVERYTHING TO DEMAND FAIR TREATMENT AND RESPECT. THAT MOVEMENT WAS NOT JUST ABOUT WAGES OR WORKING CONDITIONS, OR ABOUT GRAPES OR LETTUCE, IT WAS ABOUT HUMAN DIGNITY. ABOUT THE RIGHT TO BE SEEN, TO BE HEARD AND TO BE VALUED. TODAY, WE AT THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION, CARRY CAESAR'S LEGACY FORWARD NOT ONLY BY REMEMBERING HIS CONTRIBUTIONS BUT CONTINUING THE WORK THAT HE BEGAN. AT THE CAESAR CHAVEZ FOUNDATION WE ARE COMMITTED TO UPLIFTING THE WORKING FAMILIES THROUGH AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION INITIATIVE, WORK WITHING SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS. WE ALSO DID EMPOWERMENT BY DID I SIM NATURING INFORMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE MASS AUDIENCES THAT NEED TO HEAR OUR WORD AND ENABLING TOMORROW'S COMMUNITY LEADERS THROUGH THE NATIONAL CHAVEZ CENTER INTO POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE, USING CAESAR'S TEACHINGS AS A TRAINING TOOL. WE BELIEVE AS CAESAR BELIEVED THAT JUSTICE IS NOT A SINGLE ACTOR EVENT, IT'S A LIFELONG COMMITMENT TO BUILDING A BETTER, MORE EQUITABLE WORLD AND IT TAKES A MOVEMENT. THERE IS A-LINE FROM THE FARMWORKER PRAYER WHERE CAESAR WROTE HIMSELF THAT CONTINUES TO GUIDE US. LET THE SPIRIT FLOURISH AND GROW SO THAT WE NEVER TIRE OF THE STRUGGLE. THIS IS JUST NOT A HOPE, IT IS A CHARGE TO TEACH--FOR EACH OF US THAT WE NOT GROW WEARY IN THE WORK OF JUSTICE THAT, WE FACE OUR CHALLENGES WITH COURAGE, THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH LOVE EVEN IN THE FACE OF DIVISION AND DISAGREEMENT. HE ALSO ONCE SAID, YOU CANNOT UNEDUCATE THE PERSON WHO HAS LEARNED TO READ. YOU CANNOT OPPRESS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. THAT'S WHAT OUR WORK IS ABOUT EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH KNOWLEDGE, OPPORTUNITY AND THE CONFIDENCE TO BELIEVE IN THEIR OWN VOICE. CAESAR BELIEVED ORDINARY PEOPLE COULD DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS AND WE CARRY THAT BELIEF FORWARD EVERY DAY. WE ARE HONORED TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, A COMMUNITY THAT VALUES SERVICE, EQUITY AND THE POWER OF PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

OUR CITY IS HEADED TOWARDS UNCERTAIN TIMES. BUT WHAT IS UNCERTAIN IS THE WORKERS THAT HELP MAKE THE AIRPORT FUNCTION, A RAISE. WE SPEND IT ON THE NECESSITIES THAT THE CURRENT MOMENT WE CANNOT AFFORD. THREE MONTHS AGO, WE MADE HISTORY NOW LET'S FINISH THE JOB FOR BOTH THE CITY AND WORKERS WHO MAKE LAX RUN. PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DRAFT ORDINANCE COMES BACK TO COUNCIL SON SO THAT OUR FAMILIES AND OUR ENTIRE CITY CAN START TO SEE THE BENEFITS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE A NICE DAY. >> City Attorney: THANK YOU. >> Clerk: BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL FEW MORE NAMES, ANDREW, DIA NA GARCIA. >> City Attorney: HI, SPEAKER. >> Speaker: I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU FAUBLE, I'LL TAKE ALL ITEMS AND GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: BY THE WAY I'M VERY OFFENDED BY THE ANTI FREE SPEECH, I FEEL SO UNSAFE, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, LET'S SEE ITEM 25, WE HAVE MOTION FROM YSABEL AND UNISSES RELATIVE TO FUNDING AN EXTEND TO EXTEND THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES IN LOS ANGELES HOLDINGS LLC FOR A REFRESH SLASH CRISIS RESPONSE. THIS IS A MOTION FOR 3 19,000 EXCUSE ME, 31,--3 19,000, IT SAYS IT INDICATES IT IS FOR THE LEASE COST. I WANT US TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS CITY FUNNELS INTO THE LANDS OF THE LANDLORD. BUT ALSO A LOT OF TAXPAYER FUNDING THAT COULD BE PURCHASING PROPERTY MAINTAINING CITY OWNED PROPERTY IS INSTEAD BEING FURNISHED TO SOMEBODY JUST BECAUSE THEY OWN SOMETHING, WHILE IT REMOVES FUNDING THAT WE CAN USE FOR THE ACTUAL SERVICES AND IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE. WE ALSO HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL THE HALO BLUE SURROUNDING THE DODGERS THAT IS ITEM 33. I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'LL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST FOR THE CITY TO HOST A CELEBRATION NOTHING AGAINST THE DODGERS, IT'S JUST FRUSTRATING ON A CITY THAT IS SO FILTHY THAT HAS A HUGE PORTION OF RESIDENTS. AND WE'RE ALWAYS THROWING PARTIES IN THESE WEALTHY INSTITUTIONS ARE RUNNING A MUCK, I'M GLAD WE'RE RECOOPERATING. AND WE HAVE STITCHES FOR SNITCHES AWARD, IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT'S GOING ANYWHERE. MAYBE, WE COULD PUT SOME MORE FUNDING INTO CRIME PREVENTION INTO COMMUNITY SERVICES THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO LEVEE THESE, THESE SNITCH REWARDS SO THIS TIME IT'S FOR 75,000. IF IT DIDN'T HELP AT 50K I DON'T KNOW HOW 7 5K IS GOING TO DO ANY GOOD. PAGE 51 WAS MISSING FROM ALL AGENDAS, THAT'S WEIRD. WE HAVE SOME RENT ESCROW. I THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT WHEN LANDLORDS VIOLATE A CONTRACT THEY'RE NEVER AT A LOSS, AS LONG AS THEY, MAKE PROPER ABATEMENTS, THEY GET TO KEEP ALL THAT MONEY AND THE LANDLORD IS OUT AND INCONVENIENCE THAT THEY HAD TO DEAL WITH. [SINGING] COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAS SUCH A FUN SCHEME, IT'S NO COINCIDENCE HE'S SO AFRAID OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAY, IT'S NOT ABOUT PUBLIC INTERFERING, WITH MEETINGS, WE HAVE KNOWN, FROM THE MOMENT HE REMOVED THE OPTION TO COMMENT ON THE PHONE. THEY CLAIM TO KEEP US PROTECTED, THEY WANT TO HAVE US REJECTED FOR WORDS THAT RHYME WITH HUNT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PROTECT YOU, THE THINGS YOU DO WILL BRING LAWSUITS. SHOUT OUT SMOKING SCAN AND FOLLOW SABBY SABZ, THE BLACKOUT NETWORK AND HONEST REPORTING OUTSIDE OF THE MAINSTREAM. FAUBLE, I THINK YOU'RE A TONE OF BROWN ACT VIOLATION THERE. >> City Attorney: THANK YOU. HI SPEAKER, WHICH ITEMS DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: I'M SPEAKING IN PUBLIC COMMENT WITH GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT BUT AS NEIGHBOR COUNCIL WHO HAS SUBMITTED AN CIA, I WANT TO SPEAK ADDITIONAL MINUTE. THIS IS CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR THE CITY AND CITY ATTORNEY. JUST ONE MINUTE EXTRA. >> City Attorney: GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: THANK YOU. I AM LIDIA GRANT I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE AT AT TUJUNGA COUNCIL. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ ON THE LATEST BATTLE. WE LEARNED FROM RODRIGUEZ OFFICE THAT THE SOIL DUMPING THAT OUR TEST SHOW IS TOXIC. THAT THE COUNTY IS REFUSING TO LET THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES TEST THE SOIL ACCORDING TO, MS. RODRIGUEZ STAFF MEMBER. SO I THINK THIS IS OF GRAVE CONCERN AS WE THINK ABOUT THESE FIRES THAT THEY'RE ONLY TESTING FOR METALS, THEY'RE NOT TESTING FOR OTHER THINGS BEFORE DUMPING THEM. THIS IS NOT A LANDFILL, THIS IS OPEN SPACE DIRT LOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL AREA IN A HIGH WIND VELOCITY AREA THAT WILL BLOW WHATEVER IS IN IT IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALUE. SO WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS AND LAKE AT THE RAS AND SO ON. WE HAVE SENT A LETTER. >> City Attorney: GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: TO THE CITY BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BUT I WANTED YOU ALL TO HAVE IT SO YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR COUNCILWOMAN GIVE US WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE GOING TO BE SAFE. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THE FUNGUS BE TESTED THEY DON'T TEST FOR THAT AND ALL OF THIS DIRT IS BEING PUT ON THE TOP OF A HILL WHICH IS A WIND TUNNEL HILL THROUGH THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND BRINGING WATER FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. AND THEY ARE ALSO WASHING THIS INTO THE STORM DRAINS. SO WE ARE HOPING THAT WE CAN GET MORE HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. AND I AGAIN I WANT TO THANK YOU MS. RODRIGUEZ. I APPRECIATE IT. >> City Attorney: THANK YOU. >> Clerk: BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER COMES, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL A FEW MORE NAMES. FELIPE, GRACE, LAW DREFN. >> Speaker: OKAY. ALL ITEMS AND GENERAL PUBLIC--WHICH ITEMS ARE OPEN. >> City Attorney: SO IT'S 6, 7 AND 22 THROUGH 33. >> >> Speaker: OKAY, SO WE HAVE ITEM 6 AND 7, UM LOOKS LIKE BOTH OF THEM ARE RELATED TO IMMIGRATION RELATED THINGS AND SUCH. SO THE CITY SHOULD WHILE THE CITY CONSIDERS ALL OF THESE IMMIGRATION STUFF WHICH IS GOOD, WE SHOULD WE SHOULD DO THAT IN THE PREPARATION. I WONDER ON ITEM 7, IF THE PROHIBITION OF FEDERAL PROHIBITION FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT INCLUDES THE PROHIBITION OF USING LAPD REAP RESOURCES FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. BECAUSE I'M HEARING A LOT OF HELPING AND ASSISTING AND LYING AND BLAMING THEY AREN'T, WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS IS NOT ASSISTING THEM. WHEN THEY ARE IN FACT ASSISTING THEM. BUT WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE LAPD IS NOT ASSISTING TRUMP IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS. ALL RIGHT, LET'S MOVE ON NOW, WE HAVE ITEM LET'S SEE, ITEM 25 WHICH IS A, A REFRESH SPOT FACILITY. SO IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE PROVIDING RESOURCES TO UNHOUSED PEOPLE HERE. WE SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE MORE RESOURCES AND HOUSING AND SUCH INSTEAD OF CRIMINALIZATION AND SWEEPS AND YOU SHOULD ABOLISH 4118. NOW WE HAVE ITEM 26. NOW I GUESS IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'RE COMMEMORATING THIS ALTHOUGH LIGHTING UP CITY HALL IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING. WHAT ARE YOU ACTLY ARE YOU DOING FOR MOST OF AMERICANS? I'M NOT REALLY SEEING MUCH. YOU SEE FOR INFORMATIVE STUFF BUT NOTHING TO HELP THEM. WE HAVE ITEM 27 WHICH IS MORE SUPPLEMENTAL CHERRY BUS SERVICES FOR HEATHER HUTT WHATEVER THE HECK SHE IS DOING WITH THEM, YOU FIND NO INFORMATION ON IT, THE MOTION DOES NOT EXPLAIN IT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SUPPLEMENTAL CHARTER BUSES BUT AT LEAST WE KNOW THAT SHE HAS THEM. ITEM 29, YOU'RE NEVER FINDING THIS PERSON, IT'S BEEN LIKE 17 YEARS, WHO KNOWS IF THIS PERSON IS STILL ALIVE LIVING IN THE CITY, YOU'RE NEVER FIND THIS PERSON. WE'RE USING REWARD MONEY FOR SNITCHES WE'RE NEVER FWG TO FIND THE PERSON, IT'S BEEN, WE'RE NEVER GOING TO FIND THE PERSON, IT'S BEEN 17 YEARS. 31--OH THIS IS EVEN WORSE, THIS IS BEEN 20 YEARS. 20 YEARS, YOU'RE NOT NOT FINDING THE PERSON, EVEN, WHY ARE WE EVEN, THE MONEY FOR SNITCHES THING, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND THE PERSON. JUST BLOWING MONEY. IT'S JUST REWARD MONEY FOR SNITCHES. ITEM 33, YEAH, I GUESS AT LEAST THE DODGERS ARE PAYING FOR IT, THE POLICING IS BAD EITHER WAY. SO FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, LET'S SEE, AS USUAL MOST OF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. I WONDER WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT OVER THERE, ADRIN THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PUBLIC COMMENT. MAYBE YOU CAN SEND YOUR STAFFERS AWAY AND ONCE PUBLIC COMMENT IS OVER, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CONVERSATION. RIGHT? OKAY, SEND THEM AWAY NOW, SINCE IT'S PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Council President: YOU'VE GOT TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL MR. GRABNER, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL. >> Speaker: WHY DON'T YOU TELL YOU, SINCE WE'RE SUPPOSE TO ADDRESS YOU. MAYBE THE WHOLE COUNCIL CAN SEND THEIR STAFFER AWAY SO HE CAN LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT NOW. SO YEAH. JUST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. >> City Attorney: THANK YOU. SPEAKER. >> Speaker: HI I'M HERE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: GREAT GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: GOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS MY NAME IS DIANA GARCIA I WORK FOR THE ORIGINAL PANTRY CAFE FOR 17 YEARS.

YEAH, THE NEW YORK YANKEES SHOULD PAY HALF OF THE COST ACTUALLY THEY SHOULD PAY ALL THE COSTS FOR BEATING THIS RIDICULOUSLY UNTALENTED OVERPAID TEAM KNOWN AS THE DOYERS.

AND NOTICE, HEATHER, SHE DIDN'T SIGN THE PETITION TO SIGN THE WORDS AND SHE GETS MORE MONEY WHILE UNISSES SIGNED THE PETITION TO BAN THE WORDS AND GETS 80 PERCENT LESS FUNDING FOR HER DISTRICT. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? IT MEANS THAT ANYTHING THAT SIGNED MARQUEECE'S MOTION IS GOING TO PRISON. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. 29, A SHERIFF'S DEPUTY WAS MURDERED? SO WHAT, FUCK HIM. THAT'S NOT ON THE TOPIC. WE DON'T DEAL WITH SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, WE HAVE LAPD, LIKE OVER HERE, ON MY RIGHT HERE, WE'VE GOT THIS INCOMPETENT SERGEANT CLARK NOW SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO LAPD IS ON TOPIC, BUT IF ANY OF CHP OR SHERIFF THAT'S OFF TOPIC AND WE SHOULD NOT GIVE A DIME TO THIS EFFORT.
