city's rec and Parks Play L.A. program and LA 28 offered young Angelenos the chance to get in on the action at the LA 20, a day of sports. Over 300 kids got to experience new and adaptive Olympic sports. >> The Olympics are going to be right here in our hometown. >> Today. We're here at the world famous South Park and South Los Angeles. We have 300 kids from local recreation centers, and these kids get to experience some of the Olympic sports that are going to be held in the Olympics. They're going to be here in three years. We have flag football. We have soccer, we have blind soccer. We have cricket here at this event . >> We have many other sports. Ours is the adaptive section where we're playing blind soccer, a sport that mostly relies on hearing for us to hear the ball. Boy, boy, boy boy boy . >> They have eye shadows that they wear over their eyes and they listen to the sound of the ball. It's important that we offer programs for both able bodies and individuals. Youth with disabilities. >> I was that kid that was like, very in her shell. Was intimidated by sports. My family doesn't have any sports background whatsoever. And as a person with disabilities, I didn't even know that sports was a possibility for me. I completely changed my life through sports, and Playa La is basically just opening the doors for these kids to do the same. >> Sports has been a part of my life my entire life, and it's just given me so many opportunities. You know, opportunity to represent the United States at the Olympics. The friends that I've met, the lessons that I've learned. It's really shaped me into the person that I am. And I just feel like every kid deserves that opportunity. And so they're getting that chance here today. >> Even though I have a disability, I can still be active. I can still play sports with my friends. I can still, in a sense, be human like the rest of you guys. I can go out there, be active and just overall have fun. >> Everybody ready for the big surprise? >> Yeah. >> Are you really ready for the big surprise? All right, here we go. >> Today kids will be able to receive an Olympic medal as well as a pair of tennis shoes. Thanks to our sponsor Nike and La28, the $160 million that La28 donated to us. It allows all kids regardless of economic background or disabilities, to participate in youth sports within Los Angeles. >> I lived in so many different places and nowhere. I have seen a program like this. This is something that is life changing. >> If you want to find out more about our play L.A. program, go to LA. Parks.org.

These stories up next on City Beat. >> La mayor Karen Bass has issued a new executive directive which will increase support for LA communities in the wake of immigration raids. The directive instructs city departments to boost protocols and training to prepare for federal immigration activity occurring on city property. Bass will establish a working group with the LA Police Department, immigrants rights organizations, and community leaders to give additional guidance to police when responding to immigration sweeps. Under the order, the mayor will pursue records from federal agencies on their activities, their use of masks to obscure identities, and their reasons for detaining Angelenos.

We're talking about our dogs and what we can do to take care of them. When it's hot outside. L.A. animal Services has some advice for day to day dog care in the heat. >> To protect your dogs during the summer. You should make sure that you're not walking them during the mid heat of the day. Walk them early in the morning or in the evening after. It's cooled off because concrete and sidewalks can be extremely hot and can cause burns to your pet . Also, make sure that they have plenty of water available to them, and if they're outdoors, they need to have access to shade or a doghouse as well. You can tell if your dog is overheated. If it begins to pant and breathe heavily and if its tongue starts to look a purplish color. So you need to make sure that you stop any exercise that they're engaging in. Water should be changed at least once daily to make sure that it's clean. The bowl should be cleaned out and fresh water provided in the summer. It's a great idea to provide some ice cubes in their water as well. Metal dishes should be kept out of the sun because they actually reflect the heat and can become extremely hot, making the water undrinkable for your pet. It's really important to make sure that you keep your pets at home during the heat, and you don't leave them in an unattended vehicle. Even with the windows rolled down, the car can get extremely hot and cause heat distress for your pet. You can find additional information about pet tips by going to LA Animal Services. Dot com. Owning a pet is a big responsibility. They rely on us for everything and it's really important that we consider them as non-human members of our family because they love us unconditionally. >> Thanks to La Animal Services for that helpful heat advice, a family recipe passed down through the generations makes for more than a meal. It becomes a treasured cultural story. The city's Department of Aging began a project to collect home recipes, and the resulting cookbook has just been launched with a flavorful celebration. >> Today, we are at the official launch of From My Family to Yours cookbook. >> As part of the collaboration, we decided to bring the books to our 72 libraries so anybody that has a library card can go and check out the book at any of our 72 libraries. We actually have some of the books today for people to check out, so if they have their library card, they can come to our table and check out the book. >> And if they don't have a library card, they can get one with us today. >> Today's event was just really about celebrating all of the amazing recipes and stories of all of our Angelenos, our older adults, our high school students, our middle school students, and with that, at the beginning, we showed a presentation of how everything came about through a cookbook challenge intergenerational, multicultural Cookbook challenge, and then how we transitioned into a panel discussion about, you know, really capturing the stories from some of the people that were in the book. And some of the people that were involved in the project, and how important food was to them and their families and the people that they serve. >> And they got blends nicely together. Look at that. The amazing thing about it is being able to actually share a recipe that, first of all, is from the family, right? The whole thing is about growing up, growing up in Toronto with my, you know, my mother would make that a dish itself with a rice, rice and chicken. So what I wanted to do is incorporate it because I'm still having rice and chicken. And I want to share that with with everybody else. And the cookbook part of my culture here is that. I think what's really important here with regards to this book, is that we oftentimes forget that meals and food bring families together and bring strangers together. >> The opportunity to share a meal, to share a recipe will have long lasting impacts on the lives of many generations to come. >> Our biggest hope with this entire cookbook project, from my family to yours, is for people to share food, experiences, food memories and be able to connect with one another. >> I'm just excited to be part of this part of this project that was put together because the sharing ideas and sharing food and sharing recipes with the with everybody else in different cultures is one of the most important things. The recipe that I prepared was a recipe my mom had taught me as a child, and it is. >> It was a challenge for me to prepare the show because my mom showed me the recipe by a touch of this, a touch of that, a little here, a little there, and try to take that and put it into a recipe was really, really hard. >> But I think the hardest part was also as I was preparing the meal, remembering all the lessons my mom taught me, we hope that people can read this book and be inspired to cook together, to eat together and break bread together. >> Share life experiences together, happy cooking. >> From my family to yours cookbook can now be borrowed from the LA public Library to celebrate National Day of Play, kids gather to try different sports, move around and play the activities were supported by the 1984 Olympic Games, whose legacy continues to give to Angelenos. >> The Ford Foundation and the Equity Fund is hosting our National Day of Play Clay Day Block party here in Historic West Adams, in partnership with Council District ten Council member Heather Hutt. >> The LA Fire Foundation is a legacy of the 84 Olympic Games and our mission for the last 41 years has been to keep the Olympic legacy alive in Los Angeles and no better way to do that than with our play day this year, ensuring that all kids have access to sport, play and movement. >> And that's sort of the vision we have in terms of bringing people together. >> So play is definitely invites you to participate for future events. >> We want to make sure that all the communities, all the kids and everybody participates as coaches, as you know, just future Olympians. >> We have over 20 activations from squash to archery to baseball to soccer. >> Really celebrating the power of sport. We also have food, music, move your body, art and culture. >> And so we're just really trying to get all of our communities preparing for the LA 28 Olympic Sports and Paralympic sports. What it's going to bring to this type of event is just an amazing energy, just future Olympians. We're trying to go ahead and build up those those skills for future soccer players, future skateboarders, happy play day jobs, not jails. >> It's not just a catch phrase that Homeboy Industries, they know the value of education. And a decade ago they began encouraging their members to complete their studies. Now they are celebrating their largest number of academic graduates. >> We are at Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention, rehab, reentry program on the planet of Earth. >> And today was our graduation. We had 109 graduates. Our largest group of graduates, we've never had that many. Our first graduation here was just only ten years ago. We had one graduate Natalie. >> I remember that graduation ten years ago with one person to see. >> This is so inspiring. >> When we started this, the high school was never even a thing or graduating wasn't a thing. But now it is. Some have a hard time even reading so we help with remedial reading and then some go on and get a PhD. You know, so we have the whole gamut. >> I hope they feel celebrated. >> You know, we always say you are the accomplishments. >> You know, not the diploma in your hand, but you are the accomplishment. So the more that they can feel the dignity of that and the nobility in that, and the more they can inhabit that truth, then the more they will become that truth. >> And then they're solid and resilient, and nothing can touch them. >> When I got to homeboys, I was in rehab on probation. >> Now I had two and a half years clean and a special thanks to a man whose vision who made this all possible. >> I often think, wh PLEASE STAND BY. >> Council President: GOOD MORNING.

Lee: I'M CALLING ITEM 20 FOR SEPARATE VOTE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE CROSSING GUARD IN MY DISTRICT. AND IT SAYS FOR THE FALL COMING UP IN 2025, THAT'S TWO WEEKS FROM NOW THAT SCHOOL STARTS. SO THAT CONCERNS ME THAT I MAY HAVE CROSSING GUARDS AND SOMEHOW THE CITY TAKES THEM AWAY BECAUSE OF SOME NEW FORMULA. SO UNTIL I SEE BACK THE AFFECTS OF THIS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BE A NO-VOTE. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >> Council President: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. LEE. COUNCILMEMBER PARK? >> T. Park: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. WITHOUT KNOWING WHICH SCHOOLS IN MY DISTRICT MAY LOSE THEIR CROSSING GUARDS WITH THIS NEW METHODOLOGY, I CANNOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL. OUR CROSSING GUARDS ARE BELOVED BY OUR PARENTS AND NEEDED BY OUR STUDENTS. AND IN A TIGHT BUDGET YEAR WHERE WE KNOW THERE WILL BE IMPACTS WITH SERVICES ACROSS THE CITY, I HAVE REAL CONCERNS ABOUT TAKING AWAY EXISTING PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AT OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS SO. WHEN WE DISCUSS THIS METHODOLOGY FOR ANOTHER DOT PROGRAMS LIKE SPEED HUMPS, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT INSTALLATION OF NEW SPEED HUMPS NOT REALLOCATING SPEED HUMPS FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER. IN THIS CASE, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT NEW CROSSING GUARDS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOLS THAT MAY LOSE THEIR LONG-TIME CROSSING GUARDS. AND IF WE WERE TO USE THIS METHODOLOGY FOR NEW FUNDING AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, I COULD CONSIDER SUPPORTING THIS BUT NOT AS AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED, THANK YOU. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMEMBER JURADO. >> Y.

Soto-Martinez: THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. PRESIDENT. I WANT TO GIVE AN EXPLANATION ON WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU TO THE TEA COMMITTEE FOR PASSING THIS UNANIMOUSLY. WE'RE SEEING GHOST KITCHENS IN AREAS THAT WERE NOT BUILT TO HANDLE HUNDREDS OF VEHICLES COMING IN AND OUT IDLING IN NEIGHBORS, CAUSING A NUISANCE TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND BACKING UP TRAFFIC AND CAUSING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR PEOPLE WALKING IN THE AREA. I SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. BUT THIS IS SIMILE ASKING FOR A REPORT TO HOW WE CAN BETTER MANAGE A SYSTEM, DELIVERY COMPANIES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OUR RESIDENTS. AND PART OF THE ISSUE IS THAT MANY OF THESE GHOST KITCHENS ARE CODED AS CATERING LOCATIONS. WHEN WE THINK OF CATERING, WE THINK OF BIG PARTY OR QUINCENERA, THAT DOES NOT HAVE HUNDREDS OF CARS COMING IN AND OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. THIS WILL LOOK AT WHAT TECHNOLOGY WE CAN USE TO MAYBE CREATE A BUFFER ZONE AROUND THE GHOST KITCHENS TO MAYBE FOLKS CAN WAIT A FEW BLOCKS AWAY AND TRYING TO FIND THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE SMALL BUSINESSES AND ALSO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO, I HAVE A FEW GHOST KITCHENS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND BELIEVE ME, I GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND SINCE WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET RID OF MEAL DELIVERY, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO START TO ASK FOR A REPORT TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AS A CITY TO TRY TO BALANCE EVERY ONE'S INTEREST. I URGE AN AYE-VOTE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO ENGAGING IN THIS DISCUSSION WITH THE REST OF MY COLLEAGUES TO TRY TO FIND A BALANCE FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY. >> Council President: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SEEING NO OTHER SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM, OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 13 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: MR.

I DON'T KNOW WHO CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ABOUT THE TCN BUT THERE IS A FORMULA THAT IS PUT IN PLACE AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF WHERE THE SHARE, HOW THE SHARED REVENUE IS ALLOCATED. SO IS THAT FROM THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE? OR THE CITY ATTORNEY? >> Council President: I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. HOW ABOUT WE HOLD THE ITEM ON THE DESK. I SEE SOMEBODY COMING FORWARD MAYBE THIS PERSON CAN RESCUE US. >> COUNCILMEMBER WE WILL REACH OUT TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, THEY'RE THE ONE THAT DRAFTED THE ORDINANCE. WE CAN CALL THEM DOWN RIGHT NOW. >> Y. Jurado: ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GREAT, THANK YOU. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, SO WE'LL HOLD THIS ITEM ON THE DESK AND HEAR IT LATER IN OUR MEETING. MR. CLERK, WHAT IS NEXT? >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, 5 AND 28 ARE HELD ON THE DESK FOR AMENDMENTS. AND AS WELL AS ITEM 30 WHICH WAS HELD ON THE DESK.

OTHERS HAVE ACCESS TO LEGAL COUNCIL 7 DAYS A WEEK INCLUDING CONFIDENTIAL PHONE CALLS. DESPITE THESE ORDERS, LAPD CONTINUES TO ASSIST DHS AND PROTESTERS ARE BEING CONVICTED FOR NO REASON!

IT HAS NOT STOPPED, IT HAS ONLY ESCALATED, IT HAS AFFECTED ALL OF ANGELINO, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE PEACEFULLY PROTESTING, NOT THAT IT MATTERS IF IT'S PEACEFUL OR NON VIOLENT WHATEVER, IT'S BEING INSTIGATED BY LAPD, DESPITE NOT BEING ANY SIGNS OF DANGER AND THEY'RE A BEAUCING, PEOPLE AND EVERY DAY FOR JUST SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THESE KIDNAPPINGS OF OUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS AND FAMILIES. FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST GAZA FOR HUMANITY FOR EMPATHY, THIS CITY IS BROKE BECAUSE OF LAPD AND THE POLICE BRUTALITY. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ALREADY HAVE BEEN SETTLED, HAVE BEEN SPENT AND YET, WE ALREADY KNOW THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER 1 $100 MILLION MORE DOLLARS SPENT ON THESE LIABILITY LAWSUITS. I'M SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO BE SUING AS WELL BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SHOT TWICE FOR EXERCISING MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT AND I WAS BRUTALIZED AND FALSE ARRESTED FOR VIOLATING CURE FEW. CURFEW, AND THE SERGEANT THAT ARRESTED ME, WAS KILLED BY A CAR THE NEXT WEEK. THAT'S WILD, KARMA, THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED. I KNOW THERE IS ANINDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS, BUT WE NEED TO MOVE ON. THESE LAWSUITS NEED TO COME OUT OF THEIR BUDGET OR THEIR PENSIONS. THIS HAS TO STOP. THIS CANNOT GO ONING ANY LONGER. WE ARE SO BROKE. THE CITY'S SERVICE THAT'S ARE SERVING US, THAT WE NEED ARE BEING CUT BECAUSE OF THIS STUFF. THEY HAVE NO ACCOUNTABILITY. AS FAR AS SPENDING MONEY ON ART DEVELOPMENT, SANITATION, IT'S A FIGHT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE. THERE ARE PASSIONATE ARTIST OUT THERE, THAT WOULD PROTECT MORE OF THE UNSITELY TAGGING, IT'S A PART OF OUR CULTURE AND CITY. AND SPEAKING OF ART, OCCUPY L.A., ART HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY STLEN BY LAPD AND BY DHS TO TRY TO BREAKDOWN MORALE FROM PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO SHOW EMPATHY FOR OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS BEING KIDNAPPED. ALSO A BUDGET TO CELEBRATE UKRAINIAN DAY. OUR FREEDOM IS BEING VIOLATED EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVERY SINGLE DAY, WE ARE TOLD THAT WE CANNOT SPEAK OUT, WE CANNOT EX TRES OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT. THEY'RE POINTING GUNS AT US FOR JUST DOING WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSE TO DO, WHAT PEOPLE PRIDE AMERICA ABOUT. WE DON'T HAVE FREEDOMS HERE. THE POLICE ARE NOT PROTECTING PEOPLE, THEY'RE WORK WITHING ICE. WE'VE SEEN THEM HAVE SECRET MEETINGS, PULLING UP CARS NEXT TO EACH AO, WORK WITHING ICE. THIS IS A SANCTUARY CITY, IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE ANYWAY AND THEY'RE WORK WITHING ICE. THEY'RE TRYING TO HARDEST. I KNOW THEY'RE TRAINED BIT IOF AND THEY'RE TRAINED IN INTIMIDATION TACTICS AND A LOT OF PROTESTERS ARE NEW TO THIS AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE JUST BEING INSTA INSTAGATED. THEY SHOULD NOT BE POINTING GUNS AT OUR FACES, PERIOD. [APPLAUSE] . >> Clerk: BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ANOTHER NAME.

WITHOUT THE INCREASE, WE WILL SEE CLOSURE FOR LOW COST CLINICS. WITH RESENT STRAINS ON FAMILIES AND INCOME LOSS IT'S NEVER MORE DIRE. IF ONSITE PROVIDERS ARE EXCLUDED, IT MEANS THE ADOPTED ANIMALS WILL BE SUBJECT TO LONG WAIT TIME INSIDE THE SHELTER BEFORE THEY CAN BE RELEASED TO THEIR ADOPTED HOMES. THEY'LL BE DOING THESE PROCEDURES AND THE POPULATION WILL INCREASE. A RESENT NATIONAL STUDY SHOWCASES THAT THE LACK OF SPADE AND NEUTER HAS IN THE SYSTEM, SINCE 2019, THERE IS BEEN AN 11 PERCENT IN DECLINE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] . >> Clerk: WOULD I LIKE TO CALL ANOTHER NAME. MATILDA SHOEMOCKER. >> City Attorney: YES, OKAY.

McOSKER, COME ON, GO BACK TO WORK, YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN. THE FIRST IS MR. HUGO'S, THERE IS NUMEROUS, I CAN TALK ALL THREE MINUTES FOR TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR THIS AND THAT. AND THE REASON THAT MR. HUGO IS SO DESPERATE FOR THESE TAX FUNDS IS BECAUSE HE HAS A BOAT LOAD OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE TAX EXEMPT THAT ARE NOT PAYING TAXES. THEY ALL BELONG TO THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, SO HE'S DEALING WITH A LOT OF PROPERTIES THAT DO NOT PAY TAXES. BUT DEMAND AN EXUBERANT AMOUNT OF SERVICES. THEY'RE CONSTANTLY CALLING THE POLICE AND YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, WHOEVER IS AROUND, THEY'RE JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY OBSERVE, THEY ABSORB SERVICES WITHOUT PAYING TAXES LIKE THE REST OF EVERY ONE ELSE IS PAYING TAXES. SO HE'S HERE AND HE NEEDS US TO PAY FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS. SO I HOPE THAT CHANGES. TAKE AWAY THEIR TAX EXEMPTION, THEY'RE REALLY A BUSINESS, YOU KNOW. THE OTHER ONE WITH MENTAL HEALTH, WE DESPERATELY NEED MENTAL HEALTH. AND I'M GOING TO BRING UP SCIENTOLOGY, THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN MENTAL HEALTH BUT KEEP PARTNERING, THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN PSYCHIATRY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. PEASE FUND MENTAL HEALTH. WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION, AND WHEN IT COMES TO ICE, HERE'S ANOTHER THING THAT SIGN TOLOGY DOES, THEY ABUSE THE PERMIT, THEY TEAM THEM TO LIE TO GET THEIR R-1 PERMIT. BUT INSTEAD OF COMING FOR A BETTER LIFE, LIKE THEY WERE PROMISED THEY ARE HELD CAPTIVE IN THEIR BUILDINGS IN THEIR FORCED LABOR WORKING 110 HOURS A WEEK FOR 47 DOLLARS A WEEK OR LESS. THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE YOU KNOW, A NEW BEGINNING AND A NEW LIFE. BUT YOU GUYS LOOK INTO THIS ABUSE? NO YOU DON'T. I'M GOING TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. PUBLIC COMMENT. WE'LL WAIT IT OUT. HELLO? OKAY. >> City Attorney: GENERAL PUBLIC COME. >> Speaker: YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO STICK ON THE TOPIC OF SCIENTOLOGY, OKAY, YOU GUYS GAVE THEM. NOT ONLY DID YOU THEY CHANGE THE STREET NAME TO THE NAME OF A CRIMINAL, R HUB ORDER, BUT YOU GIVE THEM A PERMIT TO PRIVATIZE THAT STREET. AND MIND YOU, IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO WORK ON THE STREET FOR SLAVE-LABOR WAGES. SCIENTOLOGY WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT WELL WE HAVE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION. THE LAW SAYS THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION AND YOU'RE ALLOWING THEM TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS AND KEEP GIVING THEM PERMITS TO DO SO AND THEY'RE GETTING SLAVE LABOR, THAT'S ILLEGAL IN L.A. SO YOU GUYS ARE NOT GETTING IT TOGETHER WITH ANYTHING. YOU'RE FAILING IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, IT SEEMS. WHERE CAN WE TURN TO YOU THAT YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING? YOU DON'T EVEN LISTEN, THIS IS ALL FALLING ON DEAF EARS, EXCEPT I KNOW THAT SMOKING SCAN IS LISTENING. I'M GLAD TO BE BACK WITH THEM. [APPLAUSE] >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, THAT IS OUR LAST SPEAKER, THAT CONCLUDES TODAY'S PUBLIC COMMENT. MR. CLERK. WHAT ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE? >> Clerk: MR.

BUT SHE, RECENTLY GAVE ME THE GOOD NEWS THAT SHE GOT ACCEPTED TO THE LAW PROGRAM AT AMERICA UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON DC. [APPLAUSE] I KNOW SHE IS GOING TO DO INCREDIBLE THINGS BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT FIRSTHAND AND WE JUST WANTED TO SAY HANNAH, WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU, BUT THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR OUR OFFICE. [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >> Council President: MR. McOSKER? >> T. McOsker: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. I WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK UPDATE ON THE OPENING OF THE E O.C. THIS WEEKEND AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WITH THE EARTHQUAKE THE GIGANTIC THAT OCCURED OFF THE PACIFIC COAST OF RUSSIA IT CAUSED A NUMBER OF TSUNAMI MONITORS ON OUR PACIFIC COAST TO GO OFF--. >> Council President: SORRY, THE GENTLEMAN IN THE SEA FOAM POLO SHIRT IN THE BACK, YOU'RE ORDERED REMOVED FROM THIS MEET ING. MR. McOSKER. >> T. McOsker: THANK YOU SO MUCH. WITH THE EARTHQUAKE, THE VERY LARGE EARTHQUAKE THAT OCCURED OFF THE COAST OF RUSSIA AND OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO ANY FOLKS INJURED OR HARMED BY THAT EARTHQUAKE, BUT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED IN THE OCEAN, IT CAUSED THE POTENTIAL FOR A TSUNAMI. AND I WANT TO REPORT VERY QUICKLY, WE HAVE A SERIES OF TSUNAMI MONITORS DOWN THE PACIFIC COAST OF THE AMERICAS. THE ALARMS WENT OFF AND I WANT TO COMMEND OUR EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER AND ALL THE FOLKS THAT DO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FOR US. WE HAD AN EXERCISE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY REAL AND IT WAS REAL FOR FOLKS IN HAWAII AND FOR FOLKS FARTHER UP THE COAST FOR US OF A TSUNAMI WARNING TO HIT THE CALIFORNIA COAST AND L.A. COUNTY. AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THE MONITORS WORK, THE ANNOUNCEMENT WENT OUT, THE MAYOR'S OFFICE ACTIVATED THE E O.C. OPENED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL, CALLS CAME IN TO OUR RESPECTIVE OFFICES WHO HAVE CONSTITUENTS ON THE COAST. THE TSUNAMI ADVISORY, IT WAS AT FIRST A TSUNAMI WATCH WHICH WAS THE LOWEST FORM AND THEN ADVISORY WHICH WAS THE NEXT LEVEL. WE WERE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, FOLKS IN L.A. COUNTY ON BOATS, WERE ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER THEY WANT TODAY EXIT THEIR BOATS AND NOT STAY OVERNIGHT. WORKERS, VERY IMPORTANT WHO WORK THE WATER LINE WERE GIVEN NOTIFICATION. AND LAST NIGHT A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT, ADDITIONAL WAVES CAME IN AND THEY WERE ONLY HALF A FOOT LARGER WHICH DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH BUT IN AN INDUSTRIAL PORT, IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE THE NOTICE. AND IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE THE NOTICE. SO I'M HERE TO SAY THAT THE TSUNAMI WATCH OR ADVISORY WAS CALLED OFF, ENDED I SHOULD SAY AND FOLKS WERE ADVISED THAT EVERYTHING WAS SAFE BUT IT WAS GOOD TO BE WARNED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM WORKS, AND FOLKS ARE KEPT SAFE, WE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. >> Council President: THAT'S RIGHT. >> T. McOsker: AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO KNOW THAT THE HIGHER CURRENT AND RIP TIDE BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL WAVES WILL EXIST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. SO OVER THE COURSE OF TODAY FOLKS ARE VIDS NOT TO GO IN THE WATER AND TO BE CAREFUL ALONG THE WATER LINE. AND I WANT TODAY ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK THE FIRST RESPONDERS LIKE THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, LIKE THE EOC AND LIKE MY OFFICE AND LIKE THE PORT OF POLICE, LAPD, LAFD, THEY ALL DID A GREAT JOB OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT AND KEEPING US SAFE. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. McOSKER, THAT'S A SITUATION WHERE THINGS WORKED THE WAY THEY SHOULD AND A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO YOUR OFFICE AND COUNCIL DISTRICT 11, YOU WERE UP IN SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT AWAY LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO OUT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE, DO NOT DISRUPT THIS MEETING OR EXIT THE ROOM. [AUDIENCE CHANTING] >> Council President: ALL RIGHT WE'RE PREPARED TO BEGIN OUR ADJOURNING MOTIONS, I'VE ASKED EVERYBODY IN THE CHAMBER TO RISE IN RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY WHOSE LIVES WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE AT THIS MOMENT. >> City Attorney: MR.

BILL HAD THIS GIFT FOR FOR PEOPLE AND PLACE SXZ ESPECIALLY BLANK WALLS. HE NEVER WAIT TODAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE, HE STARTED EARLY AND NEVER STOPPED GIVING. WHEN HE WAS COLLEGE HE FOUNDED A NONPROFIT CALLED TOOLSHED TO EMPOWER. PHIL LEAD ONE OF THE LARGEST MURAL PROJECTS EVER SEEN AT THE TIME, TRANSFORMING CSUN EFFORTS INTO VIBRANT STORIES OF RESILIENT. IN THE LATER PART OF HIS LIFE AND AS HIS HEALTH BEGAN TO DECLINE, BILL CONTINUED TO PUSH FORWARD. HE START TODAY WRITING ON THE WALLS, A PROJECT THAT BROUGHT DOZENS OF MURALS TO THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN THE MENAGE, IN OR MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN THE OLD GRANADA CENTENNIAL WALL TO CELEBRATE THE 100 YEARS OF GRANADA HILLS. BUT IF YOU LIVE IN THE 818 YOU'VE SEEN HIS WORK, HE LIVED BOLDLY BUT THE GREATEST ACT WAS CHOOSING TO LIFE AND LITTLE LISA WHO STOOD BY HIS SIDE RIGHT UNTIL THE END. PHILIP WAS A FORCE OF CREATIVE, COMPASSION AND CONVICTION. HE LEAVES BEHIND A LEGACY, NOT JUST MURALS AND MUSIC, BUT OF THE LIVES CHANGED THROUGH HIS EXAMPLE. MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. LEE. COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. >> C. Price: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. TODAY, COLLEAGUES, IT'S MY HONOR TO ADJOURN COUNCIL TO HONOR AN EXTRAORDINARY HOMEY MS. JOSIE WHO LEFT US AT THE AGE OF 100. OSIE WAS EPITOME OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PUBLIC SERVANT. BORN IN LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS AND LIFELONG RESIDENT OF WATTS OVER 80 YEARS, HER JOURNEY WAS MARKED BY COURAGE AND PER SEVERANCE. SHE STOOD CALL AGAINST DIVERSITY, SHE REFUSED TO BE SILENCE. AS SHE OFTEN WENT BACK TO HER MOTHER'S WORDS WE CANNOT SOLVE PROBLEMS BY COMPLAINING AND BLAMING OTHERS, INSTEAD YOU MUST ASK WHAT CAN I DO. SHE BROKE BARRIERS AS A VOLUNTEER FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND BECAME ONE OF THE FEW, MINORITY WOMEN SERVING AS A HEARING OFFICER AT THE LAPD BOARD OF RIGHTS. HER EFFORTS, HELPED EASE TENSIONS AFTER RIOTS AND LEAD TO POLICE RELATIONS. HER ADVOCACY INSPIRED HER TO PROTECT AND SERVE SEEN ON POLICE VEHICLES TODAY. TO HER THESE WORDS WERE NOT JUST THE WORDS ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BUT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND STANDARD THAT EMBODIES THEIR TRUE PURPOSE. INSPIRED BY HER OWN EXPERIENCE WITH THE DISCRIMINATORY REAL ESTATE PRACTICES RED LINING, SHE BELIEVES EVERY ONE DESERVED TO BE TREATED WITH DIGNITY, PARTICULARLY IN-HOUSING. IT LEAD HER TO DEDICATING HERSELF FOR THE HOUSE, HOUSING AUTHORITY HACLA FOR 18 YEARS. INCLUDING 11 YEARS AS CHAIR. SHE MADE SURE THAT SENIORS HAD SAFE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. HER LEGACY THROUGH GUNS ACT VILLAGE A PUBLIC SITE NAMED AFTER HER HONOR AND LIVE'S MISSION TO CREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE EVERY ONE HAS A PLACE TO CALL HOME. OZIE WAS RECENTLY WITH A SINGLE GOAL. HER INFLUENCE WAZ WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF L.A. AND TODAY, I ASK THAT WE REMEMBER HER CONTRIBUTIONS BUT ALSO CARRY FORWARD HER SPIRIT OF SERVICE AND JUSTICE. THEREFORE I MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN THE MEETING IN HONOR OF OZIE, WHOSE ENDURING SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE US. >> Council President: THANK YOU, MR. PRICE. MR. McOSKER. >> T. McOsker: THANK YOU MR. PRICE FOR ADJOURNING IN HONOR OF MS. GONZAQUE, SHE MEANS SO MUCH TO THE 1-5. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO THINK ABOUT THIS. SHE MOVED TO WATTS AS A YOUNG WOMAN AND LIVED OVER 80 YEARS NOT JUST IN WATTS BUT IN THE SAME HOUSE, AND IT'S A CENTER OF WATTS WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE BEFORE ME, BEFORE YOU EVEN, SAT IN HER LIVING ROOM AND TALKED ABOUT IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT AFFECTED THE WATTS COMMUNITY. SUCH AN INSPIRATION, SHE TELLS A GREAT STORY ABOUT HEARINGS THAT HAPPENED AFTER THE McCOMB COMMISSION WHERE SHE LITERALLY PUT IN THE SUGGESTIONING BOX THAT LAPD MOTTO ON THE SIDE OF EVERY POLICE CAR SHOULD BE TO PROTECT AND SERVE. SHE TOLD LAPD THAT YOUR MOTTO SHOULD BE "TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE" AND SHE BELIEVED THAT WE MAY BE OF DIFFERENT RACE S AND COME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT WE NEED TO WORK ON THE SAME HINGE. SHE HAD SUCH A IMPACT ON SUCCESS OF CAPTAINS AND CHIEFS. AND CERTAINLY HAD A BIG IMPACT ON ME. SHE WOULD REGULARLY CALL THE LAST FEW YEARS AND JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE SUGGESTION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT IN THE COMMUNITY OR IN THE CITY. AND SHE SUCH IS A KIND AND LOVELY PERSON, I WILL MISS HER SO GREATLY. SHE CAN COOK A GREAT GUMBO AND WE WOULD GO TO HER BACK YARD AND SHE WOULD HOST FOLKS, SHE WOULD BRING OVER THE PRIEST FROM SAINT LAWRENCE, THAT'S ACTUALLY HER BACK YARD RIGHT THERE AND A GUMBO PARTY WHERE SHE BROUGHT A BUNCH OF FOLKS OVER. AND SHE HAD QUITE A QUIET CONFIDENCE ABOUT HER, I LOVED HER VERY MUCH, AND YOU KNOW, I WISH HER REST AND PEACE AND ETERNAL LIFE. >> Council President: THANK YOU, MR. PRICE AND MR. McOSKER. THIS IS A PERSON WHO HAS SEEN THE CITY THROUGH A LOT. I REMEMBER MY ONE ENCOUNTER WITH HER, SOMEBODY WAS ASKING WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS GUY BEING THE COUNCILMEMBER FOR THE 8th DISTRICT AND SHE LOOKED AND SAID, I'VE SEEN HIM COME AND I'VE SEEN THEM GO, THE CITY WILL SURVIVE. WITH THAT, I'LL JOIN YOU AND ALL OF THIS COUNCIL IN WISHING HER REST AND POWER AND PARADISE THAT SHE DESERVES. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. WE'RE ADJOURNED.
