Hernandez: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. COLLEAGUES, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HAS A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO MODERNIZE HOW WE HAVE THE BUDGET. CITIES LIKE OAKLAND MAKE BUDGET DECISIONS MORE TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE. GIVING RESIDENTS HOW FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED AND A GREATER VOICE IN THE PROCESS. SEEKS TO CLOSE THE GAP BY IMPROVING HOW WE COLLECT, VISUALIZE AND SHARE DATA. TO REPORT BACK ON ALL EXISTING CITY ONLINE ASSESSMENT TOOLS. IT ALSO CALLS FOR RECOMMENDATION TO MODERNIZE THESE PLAT FORMS BY INTEGRATING SURVEY AND VISUALIZATION TOOLS THAT MAKE IT FOR ACCESSIBLE. IT'S TIME TO GIVE ANGELINOS MORE OF WHAT THEY KNOW. I ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS MOTION AND HELP US TAKE A CRUCIAL STEP TOWARDS MODERNIZING HOW WE COMMUNICATE. AND I ALSO WANT TO ADD, COLLEAGUES IN THIS BOTH MOTIONS, COLLEAGUES LOS ANGELES IS A WORLD CLASS CITY BUT OUR ABILITY TO REMAIN ONE DEPENDS HOW EFFECTIVELY WE CAN DO MORE WITH LESS. NOT JUST IN TERMS OF FUNDING BUT ALSO IN ARBITRARY ONE-YEAR CYCLE THAT LITERAL' UNDERMINES THE CAPACITY OF OUR FUTURE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE FORCE TODAY MAKE MULTI MILLION DOLLARS DECISIONS ON TIME LINES WITH THINGS LIKE SKYROCKETING HOUSING COSTS. INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS NEED CONTINUITY AND THE DEPARTMENT NEEDS STABILITY. WHAT IF THE CITY BUDGET TRULY REFLECTED OUR SHARED VALUES? RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T, IT'S FAST TRACKED AND IT SHUTS OUT ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR REAL MEANINGFUL PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, CONSTITUENTS THROW DOWN, GET THE BUDGET CYCLE GIVES THEM POWER OVER HOW TAX DOLLARSARE SPENT. THIS INSTRUCTS THED DEPARTMENTS OF SWITCHING TO A TWO-YEAR OR MULTI-YEAR BUDGET CYCLE. IT CALLS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BIANNUAL SCHEDULE AS WELL AS ADOPTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN. WE'RE ONE OF THE LARGEST CITIES IN THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN, THAT'S WILD. THE TRUTH S MANY CITIES HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT. IT ALLOWS GOVERNMENTS TO THINK AHEAD AND PLAN FOR THE KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT TAKES TIME TO IMPLEMENT AND TO BREAK THROUGH THE SHORT SIDED COMMUNITIES THAT LEAVE THE COMMUNITIES SIDED YEAR AFTER YEAR. THIS CAN HELP US PLAN AND BUILD A CITY FOR THE FUTURE. I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS MOTION AS WELL. THANK YOU COLLEAGUES. >> Council President: THANK YOU, VERY MUCH COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ, WELL SAID. ANY OTHER MEMBERS? SEEING NONE--OPEN THE ROLL. >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, THIS VOTE IS FOR ITEMS 14 AND 17. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, THE ROLL HAS BEEN OPENED. CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 12 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, THE COUNCIL MAY NOW CONSIDER YELLOW LIGHT 2 CALLED SPECIAL BY COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN FOR COMMENTS. >> Council President: COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN. >> N. Raman: THANK YOU, I'M EXCITED FOR THIS MOTION. HOME HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY HOME SHARING BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HIGHEST INVOLVES OF BOTH PERMITTED AND UNFORTUNATELY THE ILLEGAL HOERM PERMITTING. WHICH HAS CAUSED ISSUES FOR RESIDENTS INCLUDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS BEING USED FOR PARTY HOUSES, EVENT SPACES, UNAUTHORIZED CULTURE THAT HOST LARGE YOGA RETREATS, WE'VE HAD INCIDENTS OF VIOLENT CRIME INCLUDING HOMICIDES IN PAST YEARS AND THESE RENTALS HAVE HAD A DE STABILIZING AFFECT IN COMMUNITIES. THEY TAKE YOUR NEIGHBORS AWAY AND THEY REMOVE AFFORDABLE AND RENT STABLELIZED UNITS FROM THE LONG TERM HOUSINGMARKET WHICH IS BAD FOR L.A. ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN ON GOING CHALLENGE, IT'S TAKEN YEARS AND I SAID YEARS TO ISSUE A FINE FOR A SINGLE ILLEGAL HOME SHARING UNIT WHICH IS WILD. AND BECAUSE OF POOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CITY DEPARTMENTS AND WEAK GUARD RAILS AGAINST BAD ACTORS, WE HAVE SIMPLY MADE NO PROGRESS. GOOD HOSTS, GOOD FAITH HOSTS GO THROUGH EXTRAORDINARY LENGTHS TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW, WE SHOULD REWARD THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT BAD FAITH HOSTS ARE TREATED WITH THE APPROPRIATE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS, THE RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE YOU TODAY WHICH I HOPE THAT YOU'LL SUPPORT WERE CRAFTED OF THREE MEETINGS IN THE HOUSELESS AND HOMELESSNESS COMMITTEE MEETING AND STAFF REPORTS. THEY'RE SMALLER REMEDIES BUT I THINK THEY WILL HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT, THIS INCLUDES MAKING IT EASIER TO FILE COMPLAINTS AND SUBMIT EVIDENCE ABOUT BAD ACTORS, HIRING MORE HEARING OFFICERS WHICH CAN NET US MORE POTENTIAL FINE REVENUE WHICH CAN HELP US IN THE CITY ACTUALLY DO ENFORCEMENT. STRENGTHENING REQUIREMENT THAT THIS IS A PRIMARY RESIDENTS, SO THAT IT ACTUALLY PUNISHES REPEATED BAD ACTORS, MAKING IT EASIER TO INVESTIGATE PROPERTIES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT THROUGH THIS RIGOROUS EXERCISE, DEPARTMENTS HAVE TAKEN NOTICE AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED TO THE WORSE ISSUES THAT HAVE COME UP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS. SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BUT WE DO NEED TO MAKE THESE CHANGES IN ORDER TO MAKE LONG TERM CHANGE. AND I HOPE THAT THESE PROPOSALS WILL WIN YOUR SUPPORT TODAY. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN, SEEING NO OTHER SPEAKERS ON THE QUEUE, LET'S OPEN THE ROLL ON THIS ITEM. CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 12 AYES.
