OTHER THAN, RARELY. 51, SUBSIDIZED PROGRAM. THIS IS CURREN PRICE, SO HOPEFULLY THERE IS NOTHING CORRUPT FOR THAT. BUT AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, FAIRLY DECENT, I GUESS.

WE GOT OUTPATIENT AND IN PATIENT. SO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE SOUTH SIDE GOOD. THE ONLY THING I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT IS WHETHER THIS ITEM POSSIBLY INVOLVES FORCED MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FOR UNHOUSED PEOPLE, KIND OF LIKE THE CARE COURTS THING, TYPE THING. IF IT'S THAT, THEN NO, BUT IF IT'S JUST GENERAL MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, MIGHT BE OKAY. WE HAVE ITEM 57, EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE IN CD1, THAT'S PROBABLY OKAY. I MEAN, IT'S FOOD. PROVIDING FOOD ASSISTANCE IS GOOD, INCLUDING DURING THIS MASSIVE INFLATION CREATING BY THE FASCIST DICTATOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE, WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.

PANCHO BUTTER DONNA DANIEL ADAM AND MARK DONEAN. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, SPEAKER, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: GENERAL. GOOD MORNING, EVERY ONE. COUNCILMEMBERS THE HEART OF PUBLIC SERVICE IS INTEGRITY. SOMETHING IMELDA PADILLA HAS SO FAR SHOWN US VERY LITTLE LOVE. HER ACTIONS REFLECT A TROUBLING PATTERN, CLOSE DOOR DEALS, IGNORING COMMUNITY INPUT AND PRIORITIZING POLITICAL ALLIES OVER RESIDENTS. THAT'S NOT REPRESENTATION, IT'S OPPORTUNITYISM. WHEN A LEADER ERODES TRUST, IT'S NOT JUST THE REPUTATION AT STAKE, IT'S THE CREDIBILITY OF THIS ENTIRE COUNCIL. WE NEED OFFICIALS WHO SEE TRANSPARENCY AS A DUTY. NOT AN INCONVENIENCE. COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA HAS BROKEN THAT TRUST AND DOESN'T EARN A SECOND TERM. THE PUBLIC DESERVES LEADERS, WHO HONOR THEIR SEAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. THANK YOU, AND GOD HELP LOS ANGELES. THANK YOU, NEXT SPEAKER. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, WHAT ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK IS TO? >> Speaker: GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS ADAM SMITH FROM SKID ROW. AS WE SEE TRUMP TARGET OUR COMMUNITIES, WE SEE TWO THINGS HAPPENING.

OUR LEADERS MUST STEP OUT FROM OUR RELEASES MUST CASTA SIDE THE POLITICS AND CHOOSE ASIDE. ARE YOU WITH THE PEOPLE OR WITH THE FASCIST. >> City Attorney: BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE THE REST PEOPLE.

THERE IS A BUNCH OF NAMES HERE. IF ANYONE IS HERE TO SPEAK, WHO HAS NOT SPOKEN YET, WE'RE NOT GOING TO CALL OUT ANYMORE NAMES, COME ON UP AND LINE UP. IT'S UNCLEAR HOW MANY ARE REAL AND HOW MANY AREN'T. IF YOU HAVEN'T SPOKEN, COME ON UP. >> Speaker: WE NEED A LONGER MICROPHONE FIRST OF ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Clerk: OKAY, YOU HAVE A MINUTE. >> Speaker: ON FRIDAY, THERE WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST, A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT COMPLETELY PEACEFUL. THEN LAPD SHOWED UP AND STARTED ASSAULTING PRESS. CHA-CHING THAT GOES ANOTHER DOLLAR. IT'S ON VIDEO, IF ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO SEE IT, LET ME KNOW. THEN THIS MORNING'S POLICE COMMISSION MEETING WAS CANCELED HOW CONVENIENT. YOU GUYS ARE SITTING HERE, ACTING LIKE THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. YOU'RE SAYING NOTHING AND YOUR SILENCE SPEAKS INVOLVES. OPEN YOUR EYES AND SPEAK UP. THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR BY LAPD CANNOT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IN OUR CITY. [APPLAUSE] >> Council President: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. >> City Attorney: AND I BELIEVE THE SPEAKER WITH THE HAND HELD, TEST OUT. AND I WILL ASK TO PLEASE HOLD YOUR APPLAUSE UNTIL SPEAKERS ARE FINISHED.

WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: I WANT TO SPEAK ON--. >> City Attorney: WE NEED TO YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE OR WE CANNOT HEAR YOU. >> Speaker: YES, 47 AND 56 FIRST, THREE MINUTES. >> City Attorney: YOU SAID 47 AND 56 AND WHAT WAS THE THIRD ITEM? >> Speaker: PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES FOR THE ITEMS AND ONE MINUTE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. PLEASE BEGIN WITH THE ITEMS. GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: OKAY, 47 IN REGARDS TO THE FOOD PANT SEE, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN, THERE IS A LOT OF PLACE THAT'S ARE GIVING OUT FOOD. AND YOU DON'T NEED IMELDA PADILLA, DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT OF FUNDS. >> City Attorney: CAN WE PAUSE HER TIME. MR. HERMAN, THERE IS NO REASON TO STAND DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PUBLIC SPEAKER. SO DO NOT DISRUPT THIS MEETING, YOU'VE FORCED ME TO PAUSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT JUST TO WARN YOU. IF YOU DO IT, YOU'LL BE SUBJECT TO REMOVAL. I'M SORRY, SPEAKER, GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: OKAY, SO THERE IS PLENTY OF PLACES GIVING OUT FOOD. THEY DON'T, THE CHURCH DOES NOT NEED TO GET MONEY FROM PAD YA, THE MONEY THAT SHE IS USING FOR THE DISTRICT. SO THEREFORE, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE STOPPED. NUMBER 2, NUMBER 56, THE HOUSING, THAT'S A BIG ORDER, RIGHT HERE. THEY ALREADY HAVE HOUSING, WHY SHOULD THEY STICK A BUNCH OF TINY HOUSES IN SUN VALLEY AND NOT PACOIMA AND PANORAMA CITY, ALL THE AREAS HERE, IN THE SAN FERNANDO, WE DON'T NEED MORE HOUSING TO BE PUTTING, WE GOT THESE ON THE AGENDA NUMBER 56. THAT'S IT. CAN I HAVE MY FULL MINUTE. >> Council President: GIVE HER ONE MINUTE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: IT'S BEEN RUNNING. OKAY, THANK YOU. >> Council President: NOT TWO. >> Speaker: I'M GOING TO READ THIS, COUNCILWOMAN IMELDA HAS FAILED THIS COMMUNITY. SHE HAS IGNORED OUR VOICE AND OPERATED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. THAT'S NOT LEADERSHIP, THAT'S BETRAYAL. AND DEMAND HER REMOVELE FROM OFFICE AS INEPT, INCOMPETENT AND CON SENDING LEADER. AND SHE WAS ELECT TODAY SERVE US, NOT HERSELF. YET HER ACTIONS SHOW SHE DOES SERVE HERSELF AND SHE HAS BROKEN THAT. WHEN A LEADER HIDES FROM ACCOUNTABILITY, THEY FORFEIT THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. SHE IS HONESTLY AND TRANSPARENCY AND BEING ENCOURAGED, NOT EXCUSES THAT MS. PADILLA, PEOPLE ARE WATCHING AND PEOPLE REMEMBER. I WAS THERE AND I CAN TELL YOU, IT WAS A TRAGEDY WHAT SHE JUST DID. NO PUBLIC INPUT, SHE VIOLATED THE BROWN ACT, SHE COMPLETELY DID AND VIOLATING THE FEDERAL LAW TOO. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. YES AND SPEAKER FEEL FREE, PERFECT. WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? >> Speaker: NUMBER 47, 56 AND PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: OKAY, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES FOR THE ITEMS AND ONE FOR GENERAL. >> Speaker: 100--AND CHURCH AND PROS AND I'VE BEEN, SORRY, NUMBER 57, THERE IS $300,000 WORTH OF EMERGENCY FOOD WHICH PROVES THAT WE HAVE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET FOOD AND BESIDES THOSE, THERE IS PLENTY OF OTHER AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN MONEY FOR FOOD SO WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE, ADD FOOD TO IMELDA PADILLA'S PROJECT WITH A LITTLE SMALL HOUSES WHERE WE HAVE TO FEED THEM TOO. THERE IS PLENTY OF AREAS WHERE YOU CAN FEED THEM SO YOU DON'T NEED TO FEED THEM THERE AND NUMBER 56, IT SHOWS, 500,000 RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT BEDS AND ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF THE HOMELESS OVER THERE, SO WE WILL NOT NEED TO ADD HOMELESS PEOPLE, I MEAN MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE, FOR THE SMALL HOUSE THAT'S SHE WANTS TO THROW OVER THERE IN SUN VALLEY AND TRY TO SCREW EVERYBODY UP. SO, WE HAVE THE PROBLEM OVER THERE, WE ALREADY HAVE PEOPLE GOING OVER THESE AREAS AND PROBABLY HAVE SUCH, SO WE FORCE THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOW INCOME. SO HER AREA IS JUST DUPLICATIONS, ON HER LITTLE SMALL HOUSES AND, I GUESS, I'LL JUST GO STRAIGHT TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: OKAY, YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE. CAN WE PUT ONE MINUTE ON THE CLOCK. THANK YOU. >> Speaker: FOR TOO LONG, IMELDA PADILLA HAS PROMISED RESULTS AND HAS EXCUSED. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FACES THE SAME AS WHEN SHE TOOK OVER, THE DIFFERENCE IS NOW WE FACE DEEPER FRUSTRATIONS BECAUSE OUR CONCERNS GO UNHEARD. ELECTED OFFICE NOT A STEPPING STONE FOR AMBITION, IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE. MS. PADILLA SHOWS SHE IS MORE INTERESTED IN POLITICAL IMAGE THAN SOLVING PROBLEMS. WE DESERVE LEADERSHIP, THE PEOPLE OF CITY DESERVE BETTER AND WE WILL DEMAND IT. THANK YOU. AND WE DON'T KNOW WHO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE TWO HOUSES AND HOW LONG WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. SO THIS IS A PROBLEM, WE NEED TO GET RID OF THOSE LITTLE SMALL HOUSES OVER THERE, THAT IS A LONG THING TO DO. AND GET RID OF IMELDA PADILLA ALONG WITH IT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER, SPEAKS I WANT TO CALL ON COUNCILMEMBER LEE FOR A MOMENT. >> J. Lee: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. SOME INFORMATION CAME TO ME REGARDING ITEM 23, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE WAIVE THE LATE FEES AND PENALTIES FOR ITEM NUMBER 23. >> Council President: I'LL SECOND THAT. >> Clerk: AND ALSO, MR.

THANK YOU, GO AHEAD, SIR. FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: WHAT ITEM WOULD YOU LIKE? >> Speaker: I'M HERE CONCERNING IMELDA PADILLA ALSO. FOR ATTACKING PEOPLE WHO ELECT HER TO SERVE THE CONSTITUENT. SHE, DISMISS OUR CONCERN AND CALLED US LIARS. THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND ALSO I'M GOING TO SAY THANK YOU FOR MONICA RODRIGUEZ FOR CLEANING OUR DISTRICT 7, AND SHE IS DOING EXCELLENT JOB. THANK YOU MONICA FOR ALL THE EFFORT FOR THE WORK YOU DO FOR US. GOING BACK TO IMELDA PADILLA, I THINK HE'S A BULLY, DISRESPECTFUL, DICTATOR AND INTIMIDATE PEOPLE. SHE TRIED TO INTIMIDATE EVERYBODY WHO WAS THERE BY SAYING IF THEY SPEAK FROM THEIR OWN HEART, WHAT THEY FEEL, THEY, SHE SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO PUT AN ARREST TO EVERYBODY. >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD MORNING, SPEAKER, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: GENERAL. GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS NANCY FLORES, I'M HERE TO VOICE MY STRONG OPPOSITION TO IMELDA PADILLA ACTION. SHE ASKED FOR HUR SUPPORT BUT LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE RESIDENTS SHE WAS ELECTED TO SERVE. OUR COMMUNITY DESERVE LEADERS WHO ENGAGE US AND PUT THE PUBLIC INTEREST ABOVE AMBITION. TIME AGAIN, SHE FAILED TO ADDRESS KEY CONCERNS. SHE IGNORES OUR QUESTIONS, SHE SAYS SHE'S GOING TO ANSWER BUT THEY DOESN'T. THIS IS NOT THE LEADERSHIP OUR CITY LEADS. WE NEED SOMEBODY WHO IS LISTENING US, TO RESPECTING US AND LOOKING FOR OUR INTEREST. WE MUST HOLD ELECTED OFFICIALS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND IT'S OUR DUTY TO SPEAK OUT. I URGE THIS COUNCIL TO DEMAND BETTER AND REFUSE TO SETTLE FOR LESS. THANK YOU. [LAUGHTER] >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, SPEAKER, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: GENERAL COMMENT. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE A MINUTE. BY HOLDING THIS MEETING, THE DELIBERATELY DENIED THE PUBLIC OUTCOME. THIS WAS NOTHING BEEN A HALLOW EXERCISING GOING THROUGH THE MOTION. CITY COUNCILMEMBER LAUNCHED ATTACKS AGAINST COMMUNITY MEMBERS SIMPLY FOR EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTION TO THINK. THIS IS NOT JUST EN ETHICAL, DISCRIMINATION AND RETALIATION AGAINST PROTECTED FREE SPEECH AGAINST THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND CONSTITUTION. ADD TODAY THAT COUNCILMEMBER DISMISSAL AND MISREPRESENTATION OF COMMENT SXZ QUESTIONS SHOW A DELIBERATE EFFORT TO SUPPRESS AND MANIPULATE PUBLIC RECORDS. THIS DAMAGE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE UNDERSTATE LAWS AND CIVIL RIGHTS STATUTE AND MUST BE MET WITH SWIFT INVESTIGATION. >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER. >> Speaker: IN MY OPINION. >> City Attorney: WHAT ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: 19. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT NUISANCE ABATEMENT, DOES NOT MEAN SOUND, IT MEANS BLIGHT. I WISH IT WOULD SAY THERE. I'M MOVING OVER TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: OKAY, YOU HAVE A MINUTE PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Speaker: PADILLA TO ME SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PROGRESSIVE YEAH. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THE RIGHT WING IN THIS AUDIENCE, HOW THEY DO THAT. I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT, THE WAKENING BY RENE PITMAN, SHE LIVES IN PALMDALE, AT LEAST IN HER FOURTH BOOK. I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD FIND OUT IF SHE'S STILL ALIVE. MONICA, IF YOU HAD HER HAND ON MICHAEL MOORE, WHICH MEANS, GUESS WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE TOXER WE WON'T MAKE YOU INVESTIGATE ANY DEATH. THIS WOMAN HAS MAST PER BATED FROM THE 4 TO 8. SHE SAYS A LOT OF BLACK KIDS. 20 KIDS DIED. >> City Attorney: DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU NEED TO SPEAK SOMETHING WNT CITY JURISDICTION. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO RELATED TO THAT? >> Speaker: I SAID YOU SAID ANYTHING? >> City Attorney: ANYTHING THAT THE CITY HAS AUTHORITY OVER. YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. >> Speaker: THIS IS IN REGARD TO A RUMOR THAT 25 MEN HAVE DIED AND TAKEN TO COUNTY HOSPITAL IN EAST L.A. THEY SAID THAT THESE MEN, IT'S A RUMOR PROFESSIONAL BABY MAKERS AND WITH, THEY WOULD GET TWO WOMEN WITHIN A WEEK, EVERY WEEK TWO WOMEN AND IN FIVE MONTHS THAT'S THEY WERE DEAD. THAT'S A RUMOR, YOU CAN CONFIRM THIS BY CALLING THE MORTUARY AND CONFIRM THAT WITH THE MEN THERE. IF THIS IS TRUE, THEN, ALSO THEY MAY BE DYING, AT LEAST NINE A MONTH AND THEY'RE MEN OF ALL DIFFERENT RACES. I CANNOT SAY THAT THIS IS TRUE BUT IF IT'S A RUMOR THAT 25 MEN'S MEN DIED, PROFESSIONAL BABY MAKERS. AND THEY WERE IN COUNTY USC. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER, YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD MORNING, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: GENERAL COMMENT ONLY. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE ONLY. >> Speaker: THE NATIONAL GUARD APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY BODY CAPABLE OF PROVIDING OVERSIGHT TO POLICE AND YET THE CITY COUNCIL AND OTHERS HAVE REFUSED TO MAKE NO-COST STEP OF ASKING THE GOVERNOR TO SEND A FEW INVESTIGATORS TO LOOK INTO APPARENT POLICE MISCONDUCT. I KNOW WHY YOU WOULD NOT TAKE THIS NO-COST STEP AND THAT REASON IS THAT YOU'RE UNDER DURESS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO BE UNDER DURESS, SO IF YOU'RE STILL UNWILLING TO ASK OF THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE POLICE OVERSIGHT, PLEASE LET THE PUBLIC KNOW YOU'RE REASONS. ALSO WRITTEN GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, SIMPLY DON'T WORK. I CHALLENGE ANY OF YOU TO READ OR WRITE ANY COMMENTS USING THE PROVIDED INSTRUCTIONS. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU. >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER. >> Speaker: HELLO THANK YOU FOR GENERAL COMMENT. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE ONE MINNESOTA. >> Speaker: HI I SPOKE LAST WEEK ABOUT PROTESTERS AND ICE AND DHS AND I APPRECIATE HERNANDEZ AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE, I SAW YOUR POST, I SEE YOU TRYING SAYING THAT THEY ARE, THERE ARE VIOLATIONS FROM COURT ORDERS, I APPRECIATE.
