Councilwoman Traci Park and the Los Angeles Public Library curated an exhibition at City Hall's Bridge Gallery for, this year's LGBT Heritage Month Pride in print is just one event in a month full of celebration, of unity and pride pride. Today is just the kickoff of what is going to be an extraordinary month of and pride and celebrate and. I have had the opportunity for the three years to get to chair our LGBTQ Heritage Month. We are kicking that off today right in City Hall. I want to thank Councilmember Tracey Park, who has chaired this event with dedication in recent years. So thank you. Councilmember Park for passing the torch as it were. This year's theme building community through collective Power couldn't be more timely. That's I'm especially proud to recognize one of this year's Council district honorees. The Rainbow Bus. This isn't just bus. It's a rolling symbol of joy, defiance and hope. It's traveled across the country from California, the Deep South, giving away of bands LGBTIQ plus books, reminding young people that they're not alone and that their stories matter. We have launched our pride print exhibit. We are super for this partnership with the LA Public Library. We are going to be doing a very special presentation down council chambers today and are lighting up City Hall today for. LGBTQ Pride Month. Mayor Karen Bass joined LA Metro to celebrate opening of Metro connections to La. A free shuttle will connect to Metro lines and 14 bus routes to LA's inner National Airport, benefiting the traveling public . And out of LA. We're very excited to announce the grand opening of the LA Metro Transit Center. It's going to connect people Los Angeles International Airport with the Metro Rail Network. We have 109 miles of rail that be accessed by people that are flying into Angeles, getting them everywhere. They need to go in Los Angeles County with the metro system. Today we are delivering on a project that has been one of our region's most important transportation priorities decades. But be clear, this is not just a piece of infrastructure it's a powerful symbol of. What Los Angeles is building a connector , accessible and sustainable. And it's a future that puts climate goals front and center. So now we have wonderful electric rail, which you can get from wind and solar electricity can come from sources like that. And it often does. So you can get here quickly, efficiently and, in a very environmentally sound manner. So I'm in favor everything going on here today. This is a really big deal. This is not just construction project. This is something is really a testament to Los City and L.A. County being intentional about connecting city. So this transit center will be vast frame. You can pick up your car, go the airport and leave. Really, really improve your flight in and out of Los Angeles International Airport. Our goal is to make it easier for people that are flying into Los Angeles to be able to enjoy all of the world class destinations that L.A. has to offer. And they're to have this new option to get where they need to go. The of Los Angeles is the busiest container in North America. However With trade winds changing, Mayor Karen and council member Tim MCCOSKER joined stakeholders at the port to get an insight. The current movement of goods. We just finished a product roundtable discussion on. The USS Iowa in the port of Los, where I heard from industry leaders about the effects that tariffs are already having on the broader business environment here in Los Angeles. During the past seven days, we've averaged five ships in port. Normally that should be about 10 to 12. This time of year. Job orders. Our dock workers at the International Longshore Warehouse Union are down nearly percent compared to what they should be today. We had a chance to hear from everyone at a roundtable where folks could speak frankly. And it's so important to hear labor, the local 13, the workers on the front lines to the clerks, to the walking bosses, they were all there. Cancellations of vessels real. The cargo that is not coming way is factual. These are bumpy times ahead and there is not one quick fix. And in the first four months of this year, America and retailers have cut 64,000 jobs. That's More than four times the amount of job reduction that we saw this time year. They see something coming to. So we've got to continue to rally and get ground truth out, help the decision. Policy makers understand these impacts so we can move forward with trade that is good public.

[SPEAKING KOREAN] >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU'LL HAVE ONE MINUTE FOR THE ITEM ONLY, ITEM NUMBER 6. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU. MY NAME IS DAVID, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF LITTLE TOKYO BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. IN 2003 WHEN THE CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHED THE LITTLE TOKYO IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, WE BEGAN WORKING TIRELESSLY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY. UNFORTUNATELY OUR VOLUNTEER SUPPORT IS UNSUSTAINABLE. THE PANDEMIC FOR INSTANCE, WAS PARTICULARLY HARD ON OUR 400 MOSTLY SMALL BUSINESSES BUT WE SURVIVED. EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK OPENED OUR EYES TO HOW VULNERABLE WE ACTUALLY ARE, GRAFFITI DESAGREAT AND FLY WOOD NOW CLOSE THE WINDOWS. THIS MAKE US REALIZE HOW MUCH WE NEED A PROGRAM TO SUPPORT CLEANLINESS AND SAFETY AND WELL DESIGNED STRATEGY. WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF NEW L.A. ONE THAT IS PREPARED TO WELCOME NEW VISITORS. >> City Attorney: WE HAVE TO GIVE EVERYBODY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. BUT IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS YOU CAN DO TO AT LACOUNCILCOMMENT.COM. >> SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING, I'M BRIAN KITO I'M THE PRESIDENT OF LITTLE TOKYO PUBLIC SAFETY I'M OWNER OF BUSINESS AND OWNER OF OLDEST BUSINESS IN IN LITTLE TOKYO STARTED IN 103, I WAS HERE FOR OUR 100tH ANNIVERSARY YOU WANTED US HERE. I'M HERE TO EXPLAIN WHAT WE HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS. WE FORMED ANTI CRIME ASSOCIATION WHICH IS CALLED LITTLE TOKYO PUBLIC SAFETY. OUR EFFORTS HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE DEGRADING LEVEL OF SECURITY IN LITTLE TOKYO. BELIEVE ME, SECURITY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN IN LITTLE TOKYO. LAST FEBRUARY, ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES, DURING HIS LUNCH BREAK SITTING ON SAN PEDIA IN SECOND STREET WAS JUST SITTING THERE TEXTING, WITH A HOMELESS GUY WITH A GUN. I APPROVE THE BID AND I WILL HELP SUPPORT IT. >> City Attorney: SO NEXT SPEAKER. >> SPEAKER: I'M IRENE, I OWN BUSINESS AND PROPERTY IN LITTLE TOKYO. JUST THE PAST WEEKS CHAOS JUST PUNCTUATES THE NEED FOR PROPERLY FUNDED BID. I JUST LEARNED FROM OUR COUNCIL PERSON JAOUR DO THAT SHE PLANS TO TAKE TWO YEARS OF PLANNING AND START FROM SCRATCH. WHERE DOES THAT PUT US? THE MERCHANT BASE BID ACCORD TO GO CLERK'S OFFICE AT YESTERDAY'S FORUM SAID THE BID IS OBSOLETE? WHERE ARE WE? THE MAYOR JUST CALLED ON DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES TO JOIN THE BUSINESS EFFORTS BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A PROPERLY FUNDED BID CAN DO. I FEEL ABANDONED RIGHT NOW BY THE CITY. THANK YOU. >> SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS JAN I'M A LONG TERM LITTLE TOKYO RESIDENT, BUSINESS OWNER, TAXPAYER AND ALSO BOARD MEMBER OF C.F.O. AT MY ASSOCIATION, WE ARE INDEPENDENT SENIOR LIVING FACILITY IN LITTLE TOKYO. WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF SECURITY. WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING THROUGH THE LAST TWO WEEKS, WE HAD TO PAY ON OUR OWN FOR EXTRA SECURITY AS WELL AS BOARDING UP OUR WINDOWS. SO WE WOULD APPRECIATE AND ENCOURAGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE ABLE TO VOTE TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE CONVERSION OF A BID FROM A MERCHANT TO PROPERTY BASE TO ALL TOKYO RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY SENIOR RESIDENTS WHO HAVE MOBILITY CHALLENGES AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND WELFARE WILL BE ABLE TO BE SAFE AND LIVE AND WORK AND RESIDE IN LITTLE TOKYO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS YUDI, AND I AM IN FAVOR OF THE PROPERTY BASE BID. I'M A JAPANESE KHAIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND PRESIDENT OF THE JAPANESE WOMEN SOCIETY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE LTBID WAS RELIED ON CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO LEVEE AND COLLECT FROM BUSINESSES IN THE AREA BUT THAT HAS LEAD TO FEWER AND FEWER COLLECTIONS. ESPECIALLY DURING AND AFTER THE PANDEMIC. TO THE POINT WHERE LTBID BECAME SERIOUSLY UNDER FUNDED AND RELY ON LOANS REDUCING SECURITY CONTROL AND MAINTENANCE. CONVERTING IT INTO A PROPERTY BASE BID IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY, SAFE, CLEAN AND VIBRANT FOR LITTLE TOKYO BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS AND VISITORS AND MANY OWNERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> SPEAKER: ROSELIN, I'M A HOMEOWNER, RESIDENT AND BUSINESS OWNER IN THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. I'M CONCERNED FIRST THIS IS A TIME TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT ON TO RESIDENTS, WITH PEOPLE LOSING JOBS DEMANDING MORE MONEY IS UNREASONABLE, NOT TO MENTION THAT THOSE LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME, WE CANNOT BURDEN PEOPLE THIS WAY. IF PEOPLE CAN'T PAY THEIR PROPERTY TAXES, LOSE THEIR HOMES. WE CANNOT THREATEN PEOPLE THIS WAY. SECOND THERE IS BEEN A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND WHAT ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT WILL ACCOMPLISH. IT WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO, AFTER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR IT FOR MONTHS AND THEY ONLY DISTRIBUTED TO A FEW PEOPLE. I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT I'M A RESIDENT AND MERCHANT IN LITTLE TOKYO AND I HAVE A DEEP RESPECT TO THOSE WHO HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO STEWARDING WHAT I HAVE TODAY. THANK YOU. >> SPEAKER: HELLO MY NAME IS MARIO I'M A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN THE NEIGHBOR CHINA TOWN. I'M AGAINST THE BID CONVERSION IN LITTLE TOKYO. INCOMPETENT AND LACK OF PROCESS IN THIS AND LACK AND SILENCE REFLECTS THEIR SYSTEMIC FAILURE AND ABILITY OF CARE. BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN AT THE FOR FRONT OF CRIMINALIZATION OF HOMELESS AND GENERAL AT TRIFICATION AND POOR PEOPLE. LITTLE TOKYO IS AN ENDANGERED COMMUNITY. LARGELY IT'S DEVELOPERS WHO WANTED TO UP END THE COMMUNITY. THE DBA OPERATIONS TLAENT THE SAFETY AND DIGNITY OF THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE CALLED THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HOME FOR GENERATIONS. LITTLE TOKYO DESERVES COMMUNITY LEAD SAFETY NOT SECRECY SURVEILLANCE OR INTIMIDATION. >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. GO AHEAD. >> SPEAKER: HELLO I'M CINDY LAND I'M A PROPERTY OWNER AND BUSINESS OWN IN LITTLE TOKYO. OVER THE LAST MONTH, PRESENTED IN ALL FORUMS BASED ON CLOSE LOCATIONS OR POOR TIMING. IN DEED THE COMMUNITY MEETING THAT WAS HELD YESTERDAY AT THE 11th HOUR WAS AT 9:00 AM AND NOT LARGELY PUBLICIZED. WE KNEW BECAUSE IT WAS SHARED TO US BY THE COUNCIL OFFICE. FOR EVERY PERSON YOU SEE TODAY, THERE ARE EIGHT THAT COULD NOT ATTEND. BE PETITIONEDING AS VAGUE AND DEFLECTIVE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. THESE INCLUDE QUESTIONS AROUND POOR GOVERNORANCE AND HOW ECONOMIC HARDSHIP WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THOSE WHO CANNOT PAY THIS FEE. COLLECTED 100 SIGNATURES OTHER PROPERTIES THAT SIGNED, PROPERTY OWNERS THAT SIGNED, 75 PERCENT DID NOT RECEIVE THE--. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME TO REPORT ON THIS ITEM. IT LOOKS WE HAVE A HANDFUL MORE PEOPLE. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE, GO AHEAD. >> SPEAKER: MY NAME IS KWAN AND I'M A FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER IN LITTLE TOKYO. I'M OPPOSED TO THE PROPERTY FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE ASSESSMENT IS USED FOR SERVICES THAT ARE ABOVE THE CITY SERVICES LIKE INCREASED TRASH PICKUP SIDEWALK, 24-HOUR PRIVATE SECURITY. MY H.O.A. ALREADY PROVIDES THESE SERVICES, THEREFORE I WOULD SEE NO SPECIAL BENEFIT BY IT. IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO BE A REPLACEMENT FOR BUSINESS SERVICES. I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A BID, ACCORDING TO LAWS, PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED SOLELY FOR RESIDENTIAL ARE THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO MIA SESMENT. ANY PROPERTY IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL. ADDITIONALLY THE OUT REACH HAS BEEN VERY POOR. THERE ARE 800 COUNTER OWNERS WITHIN THE BID AND MOST DIDN'T RECEIVE THEIR BALLOTS. I'VE OWNED BY CONDO FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND RECEIVED MY BALLOT YESTERDAY. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. GO AHEAD, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. >> SPEAKER: GREAT. HI, I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 6. MYSELF AND MY FAMILY OWN THREE BUSINESSES, ONE IS A JAPANESE RESTAURANT, AND ALSO 79-YEAR-OLD HARDWARE STORE. EITHER WAY WE ARE PAYING INTO THE MERCHANT BASE BID AND PROPERTY BASE BID AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT FROM FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE BY PAYING INTO THIS BID, WE HAVE RECEIVED VERY LITTLE TRANSPARENCY OR COMMUNICATION ON HOW OUR MONEY IS BEING SPENT IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'VE BEEN IN FOR THREE GENERATIONS. SO AGAIN, I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO VOTE NO ON THIS ITEM AS A CURRENT AND FUTURE BID LEADERSHIP NEED AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO REASSESS THEIR DIRECTION AND BUDGET AND EVERYTHING. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. GO AHEAD. >> SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIMES. MY NAME IS MIDOR I REPRESENT MY FAMILY WHO ARE PROPERTY OWNERS IN LITTLE TOKYO. WE'VE BEEN SUPPORTIVE TO BRINGING NEW RESOURCES BUT BELIEVE THIS TRANSITION MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE OUT REACH SO FAR HAS BEEN NARROW AND HAS NOT REFLECTED THE STAKEHOLDER BASE. MANY MORE WOULD SUPPORT CLEANER TOKYO IF IT REFLECTED THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR VALID CONCERNS. WITH THE LARGER BUDGET PROPOSED UNDER THIS CONVERSION I HOPE TO SEE REAL IMPROVEMENTS AND BELIEVE THAT WITH REAL INCLUSION, WE CAN SEE EFFICIENT AND AFFECTIVE SERVICES THAT RESULT IN A LITTLE TOKYO THAT IS WORTH THIS ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT. I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THIS ONLY WITH MORE OWN COMMUNICATION WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS AND GOVERNING BOARD THAT REPRESENTS THE FULL RANGE OF PROPERTY OWNERS. [APPLAUSE] >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE, GO AHEAD. >> SPEAKER: I'M JOANN, MY FATHER HAD LEFT THE FOUR KIDS A SMALL BUILDING THAT HAS HAD A LOT OF TAGGING, A LOT OF BROKEN WINDOWS, YOU CAN WALK DOWN THERE AND YOU WILL SEE IT. I KNOW THE BID, WE'VE ALWAYS PAID INTO THE BID AND EVEN WHEN IT WAS VOLUNTARY, AND AS YOU HEARD TODAY, THE BID MAINLY PAYS FOR THE TAGGING AND FOR THE SECURITY. I FINALLY REALIZE THAT TAGGING IS A CRIME AND I NEVER SEE ANYONE GETTING. THE LAPD, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ISSUE, WHATEVER THEY ISSUE. I GET A LOT OF PARKING TICKETS DOWN THROUGH BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN A TAGER GET PULLED OUT. ANYWAY, I AM AGAINST THE PROPERTY BASE, WE'RE A VERY SMALL BUILDING, WE CANNOT AFFORD IT. SO THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> SPEAKER: HI, GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS ELLEN I'M THE CO-CHAIR OF THE LITTLE TOKYO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. AND TODAY, I CAME HERE BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO COUNT THE BALLOTS, THERE IS BEEN A BALLOT PROCESS THAT IS, THAT WAS CONCLUDED TODAY AND WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSE TO DO, WAS WITNESS THE BALLOT COUNT AND YOU KNOW, BUT, I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT PART OF IT HAS STOPPED BECAUSE OR IS STOPPED OR DELAYED OR POSTPONED. BECAUSE I THINK, WE'RE STILL, WE STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY PROPERTY OWNERS, VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS OR AGAINST THIS. WE'RE NOT AFRAID OF THE RESULT BUT I GUESS OTHER PEOPLE ARE. AND I WANT TO ASK OUR COUNCIL MEMBER, I DON'T MIND GOING TO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS, MEETINGS TO SATISFY THE, YOU KNOW, THE COMMENTS THAT ARE PRESENTED HERE. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THE COUNT HAS TO STOP. THANK YOU. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. >> SPEAKER: GEORGE BACETI, FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE LAPD FOR KEEPING THE FEDS AWAY, THEY DID A GOOD JOB. >> City Attorney: THIS HAS NOTHING DO WITH ITEM 6. >> SPEAKER: I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT, YOU LAW BREAKING CITY ATTORNEY. BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE TRYING TO STOP THIS, AND MY TIME WITH THEIR BS. I ALMOST GOT KILLED AT THE BUILDING BECAUSE THE POLICE OFFICERS. YOU NEED TO HAVE MARSHAL LAW. YOU'RE BREAKING THE BROWN ACT. >> City Attorney: THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. >> SPEAKER: YOU'RE FACING FIVE YEARS OF ELDER ABUSE. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE FORFEITED YOUR TIME. YOU'RE NOW DISRUPTING THE MEETING, THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND LAST FORMAL WARNING. GOOD MORNING, SPEAKER, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE FOR THE ITEM. >> SPEAKER: YES, THANK YOU. MY NAME IS CHRIS, I'M A HOMEOWNERS HERE IN LITTLE TOKYO. I WANT TODAY ECHO MY NEIGHBOR'S CONCERN FOR THE LACK OF APPEARANCE IN THIS. THEY HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED THIS THEY HAVE THE NECESSARY FRAMEWORK TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS UNDER THE CURRENT PLANS. SO I'M ASKING THE COUNCIL TO VOTE NO BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND ITS COMMUNITY. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT CONCLUDES SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM AND PUBLIC COMMENT FOR TODAY'S MEETING. MADAM CLERK, WHAT IS BEFORE US. >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT IF I CAN JUST MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ITEM 6.
