McOsker: ON THIS ONE, WE CAN GO. I JUST WANTED TO SAY CHAIR MEMBER PARK OF THE TRIPLE T, I DID SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE IN TRIPLE T, AND I WILL SPEAK ON IT BRIEFLY AND ADD A LITTLE NUANCE. ITEM 24 IS REALLY TWO SEPARATE SECTIONS OF THE CHARTER THAT RELATE TO HOW THE PORT RELATES TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE PAIP OR THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUNDS THAT COME FROM THE BOARD AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO TO DO WITH THIS PROVISION IS TO PLACE THOSE PROVISIONS IN THE CHARTER SO THEY CANNOT BE REMOVED BY FUTURE MAYORS OR COMMISSIONERS. AND AGAIN IT'S A AN ACT OF GOOD FAITH TODAY AND IT'S BEING CARRIED OUT BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, THE PORTS TBZ TO INVEST IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO REDUCE THAT HARMFUL INTERFACE OF INDUSTRIAL USES WITH HUMAN BEINGS THAT LIVE IN AND AROUND THE PORT. SECONDLY, BUT VERY CLOSELY RELATED TO COMMUNITY REBLGTS SHIPS IS A PRO--RELATIONSHIPS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE HARBOR COMMISSIONERS TO EXPRESSLY ANALYZE BEFORE THEY ISSUE A PERMIT HOW MANY JOBS ARE AT A PARTICULAR TERMINAL OR IN THE OPERATION? HOW MANY JOBS WILL BE DURING, WILL BE CREATED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION? THAT'S ALWAYS THE ARGUMENT. BUT THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW MANY JOBS WILL THERE BE AFTER THIS NEW TERMINAL OR NEW AMENDMENT OR NEW ACTIVITIES OCCURS. AND IT'S NOT DESIGNED TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO CREATE THOSE JOBS BUT IT'S DESIGNED TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO DISCUSS T HAVE YOU TO ANALYZE IT AND YOU HAVE TO PUT IT OUT THERE AND PART IT OF THE CALCULATION, BECAUSE WE THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES ARE JUST REALLY STEWARDS FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT NEEDS TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN AND AROUND THE PORT, NOT JUST IN THE PIIP BUT ALSO IN THE JOB CREATION AND THE ABILITY FOR FOLKS TO HAVE FRUITFUL LIVES. I WILL ALSO SAY THAT WE WILL SEE APPOINTEE TO THE CHARTER COMMISSION, IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO FOLD SOME OF THIS ANALYSIS INTO THE ACTIVITY. I URGE AN AYE VOTE. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH. SEEING NO OTHER SPEAKERS, OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 12 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: THE COUNCIL CAN TAKE UP ITEM 33 CALLED SPECIAL BY COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN FOR COMMENTS. >> Council President: COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN? >> N. Raman: THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS ABOUT ADMINISTRATION OF TIME LIMITED SUBSIDIES WHICH IS A BIG THING OF INVESTMENT. AND I WAINT --WANTED TO SHARE ABOUT SOME CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IT'S AN IMPORTANT ABOUT HOW WE THINK OF OUR HOMELESSNESS. TWO-YEAR RENTAL SUBSIDIES THAT HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER IN THE STREETS OR INTERIM HOUSING MOVE INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. THE IDEA IS THAT OVERTIME, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THAT UNIT BY THEMSELVES OR POTENTIALLY FIND OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT STAYING OFF THE STRETS. TWO YEARS AGO, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE UTILIZATION OF TIME LIMITED SUBSIDY FUNDS OUR OFFICE FOUND THAT 45-60 PERCENT OF THE FUNDS ONLY HAD BEEN UTILIZED. MEANING THAT THE LEFT OVER FUNDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM COULD HAVE HOUSED ADDITIONAL PEOPLE. AND THANKS TO THOSE CHANGES, WHICH INCLUDED GIVING THE SLOTS FOR TIME LIMITED SUBSIDE HE'S TO PEOPLE ONLY AFTER THEY'VE SECURED A UNIT, THIS YEAR WE'RE ON TRACK FOR 8 TO 93 UTILIZATION OF THOSE FUNDS WHICH IS GREAT. I BRING THIS UP, NOT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S CONTROVERSIAL THAT THIS PROGRAM IS GETTING BETTER IN FACT, IT'S WONDERFUL. BUT BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE BASH THE HOMELESS SYSTEM WITHOUT OFFERING THE SYSTEM TO GET BETTER WITH MON ORGANIZE AND RESOURCES AND DATA AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE CAN DO BETTER AND WE ARE DOING BETTER, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO BETTER BUT I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM PLAT TUDES AND REALLY WORK TOWARDS DOING THE DETAILED WORK TO MAKE THIS WORK FOR ALL ANGELINOS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SO MUCH MADAM CHAIRWOMAN. LET'S OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 12 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: THE COUNCIL MAY TAKE UP ITEMS 32 AND 34 WITH COUNCILMEMBER PRICE RECUSING. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, MR. PRICE IS RECUSED FOR THESE ITEMS, SO LET'S OPEN THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 11 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, WE'LL BRING MR. PRICE BACK, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, I BELIEVE THE ONLY ITEM LEFT OPEN WOULD BE ITEM 20 FOR COUNCILMEMBER McOSKER, BUT IF THAT IS--. >> Council President: WE'LL DO THAT AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT. SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE PREPARED TO GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> Clerk: YES, SIR. >> Council President: LET'S DO IT. >> City Attorney: TO PEOPLE PROVIDING PUBLIC COMMENT WHEN IT'S Y*UR TURN TO SPEAK, PLEASE STATE WHICH OF THE AGENDA ITEM YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO.

Soto-Martinez: AND MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT LOOKING THIS EARLIER. I DO NOT LIKE 27-A AND IF YOU FOLKS CAN READ THE AMENDMENT IN FRONT OF THEM. IT SAYS SUBJECT TO COUNCIL OFFICE CONSULTATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. LOOK I THINK AS A CITY OF LOS ANGELES, WE HAVE A, WE YOU KNOW, 15 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF HOW TO CREATE TRANSIT IN LOS ANGELES, AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN A NETWORK OF BUS LANES AND BAKE LINES THAT DON'T ALIGN, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT, SOME STREETS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'RE WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY AND WE GET TO OTHER COUNCIL OFFICES AND IT LOOKS LIVE. THIS IS HOW HISTORICAL, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS COUNCIL HAS OPPOSITED, I THINK 27 AS IT STANDS IS GOOD. I HOPE FOLKS CAN VOTE NO ON 27-A THANKS. >> COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN. >> >> N. Raman: I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR A SEPARATE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT AND I ALSO HAVE SOME CHALLENGES. THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE MOTION IS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR US TO MAKE CHANGES THAT WILL HELP CREATE A SMOOTHER. EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN AMERICA THAT IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA IS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE MAKE BUREAUCRACY MAKE LESS REDUCE RED TAPE. WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE QUICK DECISIONS THAT ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY AND THAT'S WHAT THE INTENT OF ITEM 27 IS AND I ENCOURAGE AN AYE VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND NO ON THE AMENDMENT. >> Council President: COUNCILMEMBER PARK? >> T. Park: MEMBERS I BROUGHT THIS AMENDMENT, THESE ARE MAJOR CORRIDORS AND BOULEVARD IN AND AROUND OUR CITY INCLUDING THE 405 AND PICO WHICH IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR. IT'S IMMATERIAL PAIR I HAVE THAT OUR THEY HAVE COLLABORATION SO WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS SIMPLE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION WITH OUR COUNCIL OFFICES. I URGE AN AYE VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT. >> COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ. >> H. Soto-Martinez: I WELCOME THE DISCUSSION, COUNCILMEMBER PRK. AS SOMEBODY WHO PUT IN 2.1 PROTECTIVE BIKE LANES IN MY DISTRICT, I WANT TO SAY THAT THEY DO A THEY DID MULTIPLE SURVEYS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, ENGLISH, THEY HAD WHEN DOOR TO DOOR CANVASSING AND TALKING TO BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS, WE WANTED HAVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. I THINK WE CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, WHICH ALREADY HAPPEN, THOSE PROCESSES ALREADY HAPPEN IN COUNCIL OFFICES DO THAT AS WELL. AND I AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN THAT BY ADDING THIS, WE ADDED UNNECESSARY STEP WHEN WE REALLY SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT HOW WE ACCELERATE AND EXPAND TRANSIT ESPECIALLY WITH ALL OF THESE COLDER CLASS THINGS HAPPENING AND HAVING THEM AN ABILITY TO AFFECT THE PROJ EBLGT IS A RIGHT THING. I AGREE WITH 27 AS IT STANDS AND I CONTINUE TO SAY THAT 27 A IS I DON'T THINK THE CORRECT WAY TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE. >> ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMEMBER RAMAN? ALL RIGHT, MR. CLERK WHAT IS BEFORE US? >> Clerk: BEFORE THE COUNCIL IS 7 A WITH THE AMENDMENT INTRODUCED BY COUNCILMEMBER PARK SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER LEE. >> ALL RIGHT.

SHE IS THE MOTHER OF AN AUTISTIC SON AND REAL DYNAMO HERSELF, AND CREATED A COMMUNITY SURROUNDING SAW TIFM AND FAMILIES WITH AUTISM. HER HUSBAND RICK, RUNS THE WATTS FINEST CAR TRUCK AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE AUTISM EVENTS IN WATTS.

SO PLEASE JOIN US IN WATTS AT 10:00 AM, WE'RE GOING TO KICK IT OFF AT EAST 103rd STREET FROM MY OFFICE SO THANK YOU AND I'LL SEE YOU ON SATURDAY. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. NAZARIAN? >> A. Nazarian: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. TODAY IS EARTH DAY. AND OVER 55 YEARS AGO, EARTH DAY WAS ESTABLISHED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CARE OF OUR PLANET. ALL OF OUR COMMON HOME. LAST WEEKEND, WE CELEBRATED EARTH DAY WITH DWP AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL VALLEY VILLAGE, WE GAVE AWAY FREE TREES TO THE FIRST 50 A TEN'S AND LEARNED ABOUT THE WASTE REDUCTION AND CONSERVATION THAT IS GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITIES. SO THIS SATURDAY WE'RE HOSTING ANOTHER EARTH DAY COMMUNITY CLEAN UP IN SUN VALLEY. WE'LL BE JOINED BIT SUN VALLEY AREA COUNCIL, AND PROVIDE TOOLS AND REFRESHMENTS AND WE'LL BE GIVING AIR PURE FIRES TO THE FIRST 30 PLAYERS. PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THE 7600 BLOCK OF SAN FERNANDO ROAD. AND YOU CAN GET MORE INFORMATION ON WEBSITE. THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT. >> Council President: ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? SEEING NONE, I'LL ASK EVERYBODY IN THE CHAMBER TO RISE FOR ADJOURNMENT MOTIONS. ALL RIGHT, MR. McOSKER. >> T. McOsker: THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT AS THE PASSOVER SEASON AND EASTER SEASON COMES TO AN END AND AS OTHER SPRING HOLLY IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT WE RISE AND PAY TRIBUTE TO A GLOBAL FIGURE, RELIGIOUS FIGURE, HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS. POPE FRANCIS WILL BE REMEMBERED AS ONE OF THE TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERS IN CA THOLISM, HE SERVED WITH A MESSAGE TAUGHT IN JESUS CHRIST, ONE OF HUMILITY, LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE FPT HE WORKED TO CREATE A CHURCH THAT WAS MORE INCLUSIVE AND MORE WELCOMING TO ALL, LIFTING UP THE VOICES OF THE POOR AND MARGINIZED AND THOSE LEFT OUT. IN 2015 POPE FRANCIS RELEASED HIS INCYCLICAL BUT THE FIRST ONE THAT HE WROTE ON HIS OWN, LATATO SI, ON THE CARE OF OUR HOME. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE. L ADA TO SI WAS THE FIRST PRAYER BY SAINT FRANCIS WHO WAS ALSO A GREAT EARTH GIVER. IT WAS A POWERFUL CALL TO ACTION FOR THE CARE OF OUR EARTH IN IT HE SPOKE NOT JUST TO CATHOLICS BUT HELPED TO SPEAK TO ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WHICH NOT A RESOURCE TO BE EXPLOITED BUT AS A SACRED GIFT TO BE PROTCTED. HE DREW A VITAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRY OF THE EARTH AND THE CRY OF THE POOR, RECOGNIZING THAT ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE ARE REALLY RELATED AS WE DESTROY THE PLANET, WE HARM FOR PEOPLE MORE THAN WE HARM THE RICH. HIS MESSAGE TRANSCENDS BORDERS AND FAITH AND IT'S ONE OF DIGITY AND VALUES THAT SHOULD NOT GUIDE NOT ONLY OUR PERSONAL LIVES BUT POLICIES AS WE REPRESENT OUR KO*N CONSTITUENTS. HIS LEGACY WILL BE DEFINED BY BUILDING A MORE COMPASSIONATE WORLD. IT'S HARD TO EXPRESS WHAT IT WOULD BE A REFORMER IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. AND HE DID A LOT, TO BRING THE CHURCH FORWARD. I KNOW THAT THE CONTROVERSIAL OF LGBTQ PLUS MESSAGES THAT HE BROUGHT, FOR CATHOLIS AND NOR NON CATHOLICS WILL BE SOMETHING WE TALK ABOUT FOREVER. BUT FOR THE LEADING CLICKERS FOR THE POPE OF A 2000 ORGANIZATION TO SAY WHO AM I TO J WELL FOR MANY OF US, SELF INCLUDED THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. BUT IT'S A LOT. IT TOOK AWAY, WORDS THAT WERE HARMFUL. AND SO I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR THAT. HE ALSO IN OUR FAITH TRADITION THERE IS A LOST CLERICALISM, THERE IS THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT PRIESTS ALL BEING MEN BY THE WAY ARE HOLIER AND BETTER THAN OTHERS AND HE TRIED TO STRIP AWAY THAT CLERICALISM AND MAKE IT ABOUT US. AND HE HAD THIS GREAT LINE OR STORY THAT HE WOULD TELL PRIESTS AND IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE WELL BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE ROMAN CATHOLIC AND EN VIEWED THIS TRADITION TO MAKE IT HAPPEN SENSE. PRIESTS ARE CONSIDERED SHEPHERDS OF THE CHURCH, AND THEIR PEOPLE, MYSELF ARE THE SHEEP. AND ONE OF THE THINGS HE WOULD SAY IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SMELL OF YOUR SHEEP, THE SMELL OF YOUR SHEEP, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? GET OFF YOUR CHAIR, GET DOWN AMONG THE PEOPLE YOU'RE SERVING, BE WITH THEM SO THERE IS ONE SMELL, THERE IS YOU AND THEM AND NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. PEOPLE DESCRIBE LOVE THAT WAY, I WANT TO HOLD YOU SO LONG THAT I SMELL LIKE YOU, THAT'S A WEIRD ROMANTIC LINE. SO THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED. I'M GRATEFUL FOR WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE WORLD AND I HOPE THAT WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE WORLD DOESN'T GO AHEAD AND I HOPE THAT IT CONTINUES IN THE WAY THAT I'M QUITE SURE HE HELPED. SO I'LL ASK THAT ALL MEMBERS THAT WE WISH POPE FRANCIS PEACE AND MY PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH AND ON BEHALF OF FULL CITY COUNCIL. ANY OTHER ADJOURNING MOTIONS TODAY? COUNCILMEMBER PARK? >> T. Park: COLLEAGUES. LAST WEEK, MARKED 100 DAYS SINCE THE DEVASTATING FIRES THAT FOR EVER CHANGED LIVES AND OUR ENTIRE CITY. SO IT'S PROFOUND SADNESS AND DEEPEST RESPECT I RISE IN THE HONOR OF INDIVIDUALS WHO'S LIVES WERE LOST IN THE PALISADES AND EAT ON FIRES. EACH NAME I AM ABOUT TO READ REPRESENTS MORE THAN JUST A PART OF THIS TRAGEDY, THEY WERE SOMEBODY'S LOVED ONE, SOMEBODY'S FRIEND, SOMEBODY WHO'S PRESENCE BROUGHT MEAN ANDING JOY TO THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND THEM.

EACH REPRESENT A LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE THAT COULD NEVER BE REPLACED. AND I KNOW THAT THEIR ABSENCE LEAVES A UNFILLABLE VOID IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE THAT KNEW HIM. THE PALISADES AND FIRES WERE A TRAGEDY AND REMINDER OF DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF NATURE AND FRA JILL--FRAGILITY OF LIFE. AND AS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE CZAR O AND OF THE HOPE AHEAD, LET'S CONTINUE TO STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE WHO MOURN AND HONOR, AND THOSE WE LOST BY COMMITTING TO GETTING THIS RECOVERY RIGHT. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE AND MAY THEIR LOVED ONES FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING THEY WON'T BE FORGOTTEN. >> Council President: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COUNCILMEMBER PARK ON BEHALF OF THE FULL CITY COUNCIL.
