Please
join

of

We

has
our
own
unique
reasons
for
being
here,
we
are
united
in
our
passion
for
our
wonderful
City

as

pause,
let
us
consider
our

contributions
and
what
they
mean
to
those
around
us.

us
find
solace
in
knowing
that

at

of
the

I
I
C
We
have
two
Council
presentations
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
First
is
the
presentation
of
a
proclamation
declaring
April
24th
Armenian
Genocide
Remembrance
Day
in
the
City
of
Burbank
I
want
to
welcome
Mr
Sarkis
simonian,
chairman
of
the
Armenian
National
Committee
of
America,
the
Burbank
chapter,
to
join
me
at
the
podium
Mr
simonian
welcome
get
a
round
of
applause
for
Mr
Simone.
C
The
present-day
Turkish
government
deprives
The
Armenian
people
of
their
right
to
their
own
history
and
ancient
Homeland.
And
whereas
The
Armenian
Genocide
has
been
officially
recognized
by
the
U.S
Congress
in
2019.
With
the
adoption
of
house
resolution,
296
and
Senate
resolution
150,
officially
reaffirming
the
U.S
record
on
the
Armenian
Genocide
and
President
Biden's,
recognition
of
the
genocide
in
2021
and
whereas
the
people
of
the
City
of
Burbank
continue
to
dedicate
themselves
to
the
principle
of
equal
justice
for
all
people
and
are
committed
to
promoting
these
values
for
all
generations.
C
Now,
therefore,
I
Constantine
Anthony,
mayor
of
the
City
of
Burbank,
do
hereby
Proclaim
April
24
2023
as
Armenian
Genocide
Remembrance
Day,
in
recognition
of
those
who
suffered
as
a
result
of
the
Armenian
Genocide
I
urge
all
citizens
to
join
the
Armenian
Community
to
overcome
Prejudice
and
inhumanity
through
education,
appropriate
observance,
vigilance
and
persistence
and
call
upon
the
Turkish
government
to
resolve
with
representatives
of
the
Armenian
Nation,
all
grievances
stemming
from
the
genocide
signed
this
day,
April
11th.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
Anthony
and
thank
you
city
council,
for
the
proclamation,
and
this
proves
the
friendship
between
the
Armenian
community
and
the
city
council
and
Burbank
actually,
and
people
in
my
wonder
why
this
is
important.
It's
important
for
two
reasons
for
one
for
us:
arminius,
the
genocide
never
ended
until
now.
You
can
see
in
Arthur
there's
a
blockade
now
for
Against
The,
Armenian
people.
It's
been
almost
four
months.
The
tactics
have
changed,
but
the
end.
The
result
is
the
same
to
annihilate
the
Armenian
population
as
soon
as
possible.
J
So
that's
important,
and
the
second
important
is
that,
as
you
can
see
in
other
states,
people
are
Banning
books
and
changing
history,
and
this
time
it
might
be
the
black
history
tomorrow
is
going
to
be
the
Jewish
Holocaust
and
then
the
next
is
going
to
be
the
Armenian
Genocide.
Whoever
is
sitting
at
that
chair
of
power.
So
this
is
important
to
remind
people
that
we
have
to
be
vigilant.
We
have
to
recognize
all
atrocities
because
otherwise
they're
gonna
repeat
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
city
again.
Thank
you.
C
Across.
The
Nation.
Now,
therefore,
I
constantly
mayor
of
the
City
of
Burbank
do
hereby
recognize
the
days
of
remembrance
on
April
18
2023
in
the
City
of
Burbank,
in
memory
of
the
victims
of
the
Holocaust
and
in
honor
of
the
survivors,
as
well
as
The,
Rescuers
and
liberators
I,
Proclaim,
that
we
as
citizens
of
the
City
of
Burbank,
should
work
to
promote
human
dignity
and
confront
hate
wherever
it
occurs,
signed
this
day,
April
11th.
F
But
if
I
could
just
speak
a
few
minutes,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
you
may
not
be
aware
of
it,
but
the
connection
between
the
Armenian
Genocide
and
the
Holocaust
came
out
of
the
mouth
of
Adolf
Hitler.
He
said
to
his
things:
don't
worry
about
King
the
Jews.
No
one
remembers
the
Armenians,
and
that
is
a
fact
that
is
in
documentary.
So
once
again
we
we
are
brothers
and
we're
going
to
talk
together
in
a
minute,
but
I
also
want
to
say
something
very,
very
specific.
F
You
know
well,
sundine
is
a
black
and
white
and
sometimes
there's
a
motorcycle
officer
in
our
parking
lot,
making
sure
that
we're
safe
and
so
I
I,
don't
know
if
I'm
supposed
to
add
some
personal
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
to
the
department
to
the
city,
because
you
set
the
tone
and
thank
you,
gentlemen.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
Oh
thank
you
all
and
now
I
have
some
I'd
like
to
bring
Sarkis
up
and
the
members
of
the
Burbank
human
relocations,
Council
and
Sarkis
and
I
are
going
to
speak.
J
This
is
a
joint
dismantle
from
the
Burbank
email
relations
Council
in
light
of
the
entire
Armenia
Flyers
that
have
been
recently
appeared
in
the
cities
of
Glendale
and
Beverly
Hills
and
the
anti-semitic
Flyers
that
have
been
appeared
in
Burbank.
It's
it
is
the
responsibility
of
us
all
to
take
a
stand
by
overpowering
hate,
one
act
of
common
decency
at
a
time.
F
As
two
ancient
peoples
with
Rich
histories,
The,
Armenian
and
Jewish
communities
share
a
common
Bond
of
resilience
and
strength
in
the
face
of
extreme
diversity.
Our
people
have
both
experienced
tremendous
hardships
and
tragedies
throughout
our
respective
histories.
We've
also
demonstrated
incredible
resilience
and
determination
and
overcoming
them.
We
stay
I'm
sorry
go.
J
J
C
Thank
you
just
real
quick
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
almost
two
weeks
ago
now
some
flyers
were
posted
in
our
neighboring
city
of
Glendale
that
sought
to
divide
the
Jewish
and
Armenian
communities
and
put
them
against
each
other,
and
so
it
is
so
very
important
to
see
our
allies
standing
together
here.
With
that
joint
statement,
thank
you.
So
much
can
we
get
a
photo
real,
quick.
C
C
City
manager,
Justin
Hess,
do
you
have
anything
to
report?
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I
do
not
have
anything
for
tonight.
All
right.
Great
now
is
the
time
and
place
for
the
second
public
hearing
for
public
input
regarding
the
composition
of
districts
for
the
city's
transition
to
district-based
city
council
elections.
C
G
C
L
Yes,
Mr
Mayor
vice
mayor
members
of
the
council
and
for
the
participating
and
viewing
public.
This
item
is
the
second
public
hearing
mandated
by
the
California
elections
code
for
consideration
of
transitioning
to
by
District
elections
from
at-large
elections.
This
process
started
with
a
demand
under
the
elections
code
by
a
potential
plaintiff,
who
allege
that
Latino
voters
votes
were
being
deluded
by
the
at
large
the
current
at-large
system
voting
system.
So
we
have
with
us
this
evening,
Mr
Doug
Johnson
from
National
demographics
Corporation.
L
He
is
our
expert
in
the
area
of
voting
demographics,
analysis
and
creation
of
districts,
as
I
announced
last
time.
He
has
a
experience
in
hundreds
of
communities
throughout
this
state
in
in
the
matter
of
districting
and
what
I
wanted
to
also
bring
the
Public's
attention
to
the
staff
report
for
this
matter
was
posted.
Last
week
today
we
posted
some
additional
materials
which
really
kind
of
come
out
of
some
of
the
public
comments
that
we've
heard
in
our
workshops.
So
we
have
a
brief
little
supplemental
staff
report.
L
That
explains
what
the
three
additional
attachments
are.
The
first
one
is
a
description
of
the
city's
Outreach
efforts
to
date
to
get
the
public
out
to
to
comment
and
participate
in
the
mapping.
The
second
to
attachments
are
information
prepared
by
the
potential
plaintiff
and
submitted
to
the
city.
It's
their
allegations
of
racially
polarized
voting.
It's
not
the
city's
documents,
because
this
matter
originated
from
a
threat
of
litigation
and
that
threat
of
litigation
is
ongoing.
L
We're
not
able
to
share
the
city,
attorney's
analysis
of
vote
polarization,
but
we
can
share
what
was
alleged
against
the
city,
so
those
additional
attachments
which
are
on
the
city's
website
as
attachments
three
and
four
were,
are
a
document
prepared
by
the
potential
plaintiff
evaluating
certain
past
elections,
data
and
identifying
which
elections
they
believe
present
racially
polarized
voting.
The
second
of
those
two
attachments
is
the
draft
complaint
that
they
submitted
to
the
city
in
our
early
discussions
of
this
topic.
L
So
they
are
draft,
or
rather
the
the
complaint
is
drafted,
has
not
yet
been
filed,
but
that's
some
context
for
the
public,
because
I
know
we
received
some
comments
wondering
where
these
originated
for
and
the
supplemental
memo
does
identify
the
potential
plaintiff
and
that
these
documents
were
submitted
by
him
with
that.
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Doug
Johnson,
who
has
a
presentation
for
the
council
and
the
public.
M
Okay,
thank
you
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
again.
I
will
jump
right
in
most
of
this
presentation
is
the
same
presentation,
as
was
shown
at
the
First
Council
hearing
by
Statute.
We
have
to
provide
this
information
twice,
but
we
have
added
in
a
slide
that
has
the
information
about
what
we've
heard
in
the
three
hearings
held
so
far,
so
I'll
jump
right
in
as
a
reminder,
we're
looking
at
this
as
a
three-phase
process.
M
M
Three
is,
of
course,
the
new
election
system,
whatever
that
ends
up
being
that'll,
be
used
for
next
November's
elections
to
look
at
this
process
in
more
detail
we're
in
the
second
column.
Here
at
the
end
of
the
spring
2023
section,
you
can
see
April
11th
public
hearing
number
two.
So
that's
tonight's
event.
We
have
had
three
Community
forums
already,
plus
the
the
hearing
to
kick
this
all
off.
M
This
phase
is
all
information
gathering
spreading
the
word
getting
the
word
out
and
educating
the
community
on.
What's
going
on
and
getting
initial
Community
input
on
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
interest
in
the
city
from
here
we
go
to
the
next
step,
which
is
the
maps,
and
this
is
when
it
really
tends
to
get
a
lot
more
interesting
and
a
lot
more
people
tend
to
get
engaged.
M
The
first
step
is
looking
for
the
public
looking
for
residents
to
submit
Maps,
so
at
the
forums
we
did
extensive
demos
of
the
various
options
out
there
for
residents
to
use
to
draw
maps
and
I'm
happy
to
say,
even
though
the
deadline
is
still
weeks
away.
We
have
already
received
five
Maps,
which
is
great
for
this
point
in
the
process
and
since
ninety
percent
of
maps
tend
to
come
in
on
the
last
day
before
the
deadline.
Sometimes.
M
Probably
will
narrow
down
the
scope
of
maps
not
make
anything
near
a
final
decision,
but
if
we
have
50
Maps,
we
may
ask
you
to
narrow
it
down
to
five
or
six,
then
that
those
maps
all
go
out
for
a
whole
another
round
of
community
input.
So
we're
going
to
another
round
of
community
forums,
kind
of
in-depth
informal
discussions
where
people
can
really
get
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
maps.
M
Residents
can
continue
to
draw
map
submissions
as
well
through
that
second
round
and
July
7th
will
be
the
final
deadline
for
residents
of
submit
maps
that
all
comes
back
here.
July,
18th
and
25th
are
the
schedule,
dates
for
the
council,
and
the
residents
will
weigh
in
nearly
and
choose
a
map
to
wrap
up
phase
one
that
would
then
wrap
up
phase.
M
Obviously
that
the
reason
for
ending
in
October
is
we
number
one.
The
deadline
to
put
a
measure
on
the
March
ballot
is
in
December
and
obviously
we
don't
want
to
be
making
that
large
decision
in
the
middle
of
the
holidays.
So
that's
the
goal
there
get
in
on
get
that
decision
made
have
plenty
of
time
to
talk
about
it,
leading
up
to
March
and
then,
of
course,
March
is
plenty
of
time
before
the
election
in
November.
M
So
that's
our
aggressive
but
extensive
timeline
for
this
whole
process.
In
terms
of
drawing
District
Lines,
there
are
three
categories
of
criteria.
The
first
requirements
are
the
federal
laws
on
the
left.
Equal
population
comply
with
the
federal
Voting,
Rights
Act,
and
no
racial
gerrymandering,
so
race
can
be
a
consideration.
M
We
have
to
look
at
it
to
ensure
we're
complying
with
the
federal
Voting
Rights
Act,
but
it
cannot
be
what
the
courts
call
the
predominant
consideration.
So
those
are
the
federal
requirements,
then,
for
cities
and
and
counties
the
state
has
a
second
set
from
What's
called
the
fair
Maps
act.
It's
worth
noting
for
those
that
are
following
the
the
school
process.
This
the
fair
Maps
act,
does
not
apply
to
school
districts.
So
that's
one
of
the
significant
ways
the
two
processes
are
different.
M
M
We
have
to
follow
easily
identifiable
boundaries
like
Rivers,
railroads,
freeways,
major
roads
and
the
fourth
in
their
priority
list
or
prioritized
list
is
be
compact,
which
the
state
defines
as
don't
bypass
one
group
of
people
to
get
to
another
group
of
people
unless
it's
to
achieve
a
higher
ranked
goal.
So
there's
also
a
Prohibition
in
state
law,
which
is
the
lines
cannot
be
drawn
in
to
favor
or
discriminate
against
the
political
party.
M
So
we're
not
using
any
political
data
in
this
process
in
an
effort
to
ensure
compliance
with
that,
so
those
are
the
requirements
in
statutory
requirements,
there's
also
a
third
category
of
other
traditional
reissuing
principles
that
are
not
requirements.
They
are
things
that
the
courts
have
said
are
acceptable
considerations
and
in
a
Distributing
project
that
boils
down
to
two
things:
one
is
respecting
the
voters
choices,
so
you
can
attempt
to
avoid
pairing
council
members,
which
we
look
at
as
really
leaving
re-election
decisions
up
to
the
voters.
M
If
two
council
members
end
up
in
the
same
district
and
the
voters
want
to
re-elect
both
of
them,
they
can't
so
that's
where
that
comes
from
it
again.
It's
not
a
requirement.
It's
simply
something
the
courts
have
said
is
an
acceptable
consideration.
Once
you
meet
all
the
other
criteria,
the
other
one
in
this
category
is
future
population
growth.
M
If
you
know
an
area
is
going
to
grow
faster
over
the
next
eight
years,
because
you'll
be
revisiting
these
lines
in
eight
years,
then
you
can
under
populate
that
area
a
little
bit
so
that
it
grows
into
balance
as
time
goes
on.
But
it
really
is
just
a
very
small
underpopulation.
That's
allowed
within
the
equal
population
requirement.
M
We
have
lots
of
data
I
will
spare
everyone
going
through
all
these
data,
but
the
key
number
is
the
top
left,
the
2020
census
total
population,
because
when
we
talk
equal
population
it
is
equal
numbers
of
human
beings
counted
by
the
census.
It's
not
registered
voters,
it's
not
adults
or
anything
like
that.
It's
people
counted
by
the
census,
with
a
slight
adjustment
by
the
state
of
California.
So
that's
where
we
get
the
five
district
Target
of
21
510.,
so
each
district
should
be
as
close
to
that
as
we
can.
M
You
can
vary
by
a
couple
of
percent.
If
you're
trying
to
achieve
one
of
those
other
criteria,
then
there's
lots
of
other
data
and
for
each
map
that
comes
in
we'll
be
preparing
demographic
profiles
that
that
show
District
by
District
the
number
of
renters
versus
home
owner
occupied
houses,
multi-family
residences
for
single
family
residents.
All
the
other
data
that's
available
here.
So
if
anyone
wants
to
look
at
a
map
and
see,
is
there
a
a
district
where
renters
or
majority
or
more
than
one
are
there
districts
where
multi-family
residents
are
a
majority?
M
In
terms
of
the
Voting
Rights
Act,
what
the
log
refers
to
as
protected
classes,
which
is
really
Latinos,
African-Americans,
Asian,
Americans
and
Native
Americans,
and
what
it
says
is
if
there's
a
geographic
concentration
of
any
one
of
those
protected
classes
that
concentration
or
that
neighborhood
cannot
be
divided
in
a
way
that
dilutes
their
voting
strength,
you
can
see
here.
The
the
yellows
and
reds
and
greens
are
areas
where
Latinos
are
a
majority
of
cvap,
which
is
citizens
of
voting
age.
M
You
don't
have
to
draw
a
district
that
connects
all
three
of
those
because
they're
somewhat
geographically
distinct,
especially
the
one
down
south,
but
we
cannot
divide
any
one
of
those
three,
so
the
airport
area
should
be
kept
together.
The
freeway
area
should
be
kept
together
and
the
southern
area
should
be
kept
together.
So
we
don't
dilute
their
voting
strength.
M
Then
the
Asian
American
cvap,
you
can
see
from
this
similar
to
Latinos
Latinos,
are
obviously
everywhere
in
the
city.
They're,
just
concentrating
those
three
particular
areas.
Asian
Americans
are
obviously
everywhere
in
the
city.
There's
no
Geographic
concentration
that
pops
up.
We
only
get
a
city
block
here
there
with
some
slightly
higher
numbers,
but
no
concentration.
They
would
play
into
anything
for
Voting
Rights,
Act
purposes
and
similar
to
African
Americans.
No
concentration
that
comes
up
for
voting
right,
Tech
voting
right
Tech
purposes.
Obviously
they
live
everywhere
in
the
city.
M
The
other
question
that
often
comes
up
in
this
context
is,
is
the
armenian-american
population
and
where
that
comes
in
is
they
are
not
at
least
at
this
point,
a
group
under
the
Voting
Rights
Act
defined
as
a
protected
class,
because
to
get
into
that
category
you
have
there
has
to
be
a
history
of
being
denied
the
right
to
vote,
and
so
there's
not
that
history.
Here
the
as
I
mentioned
up
front
and
as
I'll
talk
about
in
a
minute,
they
certainly
count
as
a
community
of
Interest.
M
M
And
we're
talking
about
communities
of
Interest
there
are,
as
I
mentioned,
those
socioeconomic
demographics.
These
maps
are
are
kind
of
summaries
of
some
of
those
you
can
see
chill
in
the
top
left
households
with
the
child
under
age
18
at
home,
not
a
lot
of
concentration.
You
know
this
is
a.
There
are
children
throughout
this
city
where
that
map,
usually
pops
up,
is
if
a
city
has
a
Sun
City
retirement
community,
or
something
like
that
that
just
has
no
kids
in
it.
M
Spanish-Spoken
at
home,
in
the
in
the
top
middle,
you
can
see
roughly
corresponds
to
the
Latino
map.
We
looked
at
earlier
in
the
top
right
household
income
over
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
per
year.
Again
the
Reds
yellows
and
greens
are
majority.
The
blues
and
and
purples
are
less
than
a
majority,
so
there's
some
spread
obviously
gets
more
red
as
you
get
up
in
the
top
of
the
hills,
but
this
is
a
very
economically
kind
of
mixed
Community.
M
To
its
credit,
not
a
lot
of
of
split
that
we
often
see
in
jurisdictions
where
you
do
have
distinct
Geographic
differences
is,
is
the
bottom
left
and
bottom
center,
the
renters
in
the
multi-family
house?
Housing,
no
surprise.
Anyone
that
lives
here
concentrated
along
downtown
and
the
and
the
two
freeway
corridors,
and
then
the
bottom
right
factor
is,
as
has
been
discussed
a
little
bit.
The
census
doesn't
count
Armenians
and
they
qualify
as
white,
and
so
it
can
be
hard
to
identify
them.
M
In
terms
of
neighborhoods
one,
the
the
goal,
the
statutory
goal
of
the
first
Hearing
in
this
hearing
is
to
get
community
input
resonant
input
on
what
are
the
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
interest
that
need
to
be
kept
together,
so
neighborhood's
pretty
straightforward.
What
time?
What
neighborhood
do
you
live
in?
People
can
usually
answer
that,
and
we
want
to
ask
you
know:
is
it
around
a
park?
How
do
they
Define
it
around
a
school
between
major
roads
and
we
want
to
get
the
geographic
boundaries.
M
M
M
What
is
the
story
that
describes
your
area
and
that
will
usually
indicate
what
characteristics
tie
them
together
and
then
again
we
need
to
know
the
geographic
area,
but
this
one
comes
with
a
Twist
that
sometimes
the
law
is
very
clear
that
neighborhoods
need
to
be
kept
together.
Their
division
needs
to
be
minimized,
but
some
things
that
traditionally
are
identified
as
communities
of
Interest
may
actually
prefer
to
be
kept
together
and
others
may
prefer
to
be
divided.
M
It
still
takes
three
votes
to
do
anything
at
the
council
level,
so
some
communities
do
say
you
know
it
reduces
our
chance
to
have
a
one
person
elected
from
our
community,
but
we
will
have
two
or
even
three
council
members
who
have
to
come
to
our
meetings,
who
have
to
listen
to
us
about
our
issue
if,
if
we
divide
up
the
area,
so
that's
the
second
piece
of
the
community
of
Interest
question.
What
is
your
community
of
interest
and
do
you
think
it'll
benefit
from
being
kept
in
one
seat?
M
So
that's
the
whole
process
and
rules.
The
city
at
the
council's
direction
has
engaged
in
a
very
aggressive
Outreach
effort
with
the
help
of
Ariano
and
associates.
They
have
been
very,
very
busy.
You
see
a
little
bit
here.
I
won't
go
through
everything
in
the
list,
but
you
can
see
all
of
the
things
they're
doing
from
contacting
Community
groups
to
doing
door,
hangers
to
lots
of
social
media
and
obviously
organizing
the
three
forms
that
we've
held
so
far
at
these
forums.
M
We
have
also
been
talking
about
all
these
tools,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
them
briefly,
I
went
through
them
in
a
little
more
detail,
their
first
hearing
and
obviously
the
forums.
We
did
a
lot
on
each
of
these,
but
they
range
from
the
very
simple
to
very
powerful
and
we
always
emphasize.
These
are
empowerment
tools,
there's
no
requirement
to
use
them.
M
We
have
a
paper
mapping
tool
for
those
that
aren't
comfortable
with
on
a
computer
or
just
don't
have
good
internet
access.
They
can
simply
take
this
piece
of
paper.
It's
got
all
the
population
accounts
on
it
and
they
just
draw
in
their
map
and
either
mail
it
in
drop
it
off
at
City,
Hall
or
just
take
a
picture
and
email
in
the
picture.
M
And
then
we
have
a
full-blown
online
mapping
tool
that
has
city
block
by
city,
block
demographics
and
population
counts,
and
they
can
go
through
on
with
all
the
same
detail
that
I
can
do
on
my
multi-thousand
dollar
software.
They
can
draw
a
map
and
get
as
fine-tuned
as
they
want
to
in
those
maps
and-
and
so
that's
there,
it
does
have
a
little
bit
of
a
learning
curve,
but
it's
a
three
minute
or
four
minute
video
that
shows
you
how
everything
you
need
to
know
about
how
to
use
that
who's.
Dave.
M
Oh
it
started
20
years
ago
a
Microsoft
guy
named
Dave,
something
wrote,
wrote
this
all
himself.
It
is
now
a
huge
non-profit
with
a
15-person
staff,
but
it's
kept
that
Dave's
redistricting
app
name,
that's
not
even
sure
if
he's
involved
anymore
or
not,
but
it's
been
around
for
20
years
as
a
tool
used
to
measure
gerrymandering
at
the
state
level.
Okay,
but
in
2020
they
made
some
modifications
that
now
allow
us
to
use
it
for
local
governments
as
well.
M
So
it's
always
been
both
ways:
okay,
except
that,
a
couple
years
ago
the
family
of
of
Elbridge
Gary
wrote
to
the
Supreme
Court
and
said
you
know:
Governor
Gary,
who
unfortunately
got
tagged
with
the
name,
was
our
great
great,
great
great
grandfather,
whatever
it
is
and
and
we
pronounce
it
Gary
Mandarin,
and
so
the
U.S
Supreme
Court
sent
him
a
nice
letter.
Saying.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
tell
the
justices,
so
it's
there's
no
right
or
wrong,
but
the
Gary
family
says
it's
scary,
I.
N
M
Unfortunate
Legacy,
but
just
to
summarize
input
receive
we'll
be
putting
this
all
together,
especially
as
the
June
2nd
deadline
for
the
residents
to
submit
Maps
comes
in,
but
as
I
mentioned,
we've
got
10
neighborhoods
drawn
already.
We've
had
67
people
come
to
the
hearings,
and-
and
at
this
stage
that's
great,
you
know
we
always
get
a
lot
more
interest
once
there
are
draft
Maps,
because
it's
easier
to
respond
to
something
concrete
and
say
I
like
this
line.
I,
don't
like
that,
but
that's
great
to
see
this
interest
summarizing
very
briefly.
M
Generally
speaking,
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
started
this
process.
You
know.
Why
are
we
going
through
this
process
and
I'm
sure
some
residents
today
will
share
their
opinions,
I'm
not
going
to
categorize
pros
and
cons
that
were
made
just
generally
seeing
categories
of
comment,
and
then
there
were
a
number
of
comments,
kind
of
really
encouraging
the
city
to
to
continue,
and
it's
extensive
efforts
at
Community
engagement
and
ideas
for
how
that
could
be
done
and
improved.
M
M
So
that's
my
presentation,
the
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
hope
there
will
be
a
number
of
public
comments
statutorily
this.
The
goal
is
to
get
input
from
the
community
on
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
interest.
But
of
course
we
can
discuss
any
part
of
this
project
that
your
residents
are
like.
C
We'll
now
open
a
public
comment
to
hear
from
any
person's
wish
to
speak
on
the
matter.
Each
person
may
address
the
council
for
up
to
three
minutes
on
this
public
item.
Only
public
hearing
item
only
for
members
of
the
public
who
are
here
in
person,
please
complete
a
salmon
colored
card.
If
you
would
like
to
call
in,
please
do
so
now,
818-238-3335.
O
O
We
have
an
elective,
City,
Clerk
who's
been
absent
from
a
number
of
meetings
and
I.
Wonder
where
is
she
in
all
of
this
and
really?
Why
isn't
she
here?
Why
is
it
she
participating
our
city?
Clerks
are
a
wealth
of
knowledge
and
it's
been
that
we've
had
our
elected
city
clerk
here
for
decades
and
decades,
Mr
Schultz
at
a
previous
meeting
on
this
subject.
O
You
referred
to
this
person,
you
referred
to
bullying,
and
you
said
you
won't
be
bullied
in
this
process
and
when
I
heard
the
City
attorney
talk
about
a
Latino
fella
who
sent
a
letter
with
an
attorney
and
you
felt
bullied
by
it
and
I
think
that's
a
giant
slap
in
the
face
to
this
person
who
asked
for
this
process
to
be
changed
and
also
to
our
Latino
citizens.
Our
voters
here
in
Burbank
who
happen
to
be
of
maybe
Hispanic
heritage,
I,
wonder.
What's
your
problem,
I
mean
democracy.
C
P
Good
evening
members
Council,
my
name
is
Jared
cavan,
YOLO
at
the
March
14th
public
Hearing,
in
describing
how
the
demographic
data
on
the
front
page
of
the
packet
I've,
provided
you
can
be
used
to
define
communities
of
Interest.
The
city's
districting
expert
stated
quote
each
map
that
you
get
will
have
all
of
this
data
for
each
of
the
districts
end
quote
and
from
what
I
can
tell
from
a
substantial
amount
of
time
spent
with
the
city's
dra
mapping
tool.
P
That
statement
was
clearly
not
intended
for
residents
using
the
tool
to
draw
District
Maps
aside
from
political
affiliation,
which
we
are
instructed
to
ignore.
The
only
demographic
information
that
dra
provides
is
population
by
race.
This
is
a
problem
because
we're
also
instructed
that
race
cannot
be
the
predominant
factor
in
drawing
District
Maps,
despite
the
entire
purpose
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
being
greater
minority
representation
in
local
government
making
race
the
predominant
factor
in
the
current
lawsuit
against
the
city.
P
If
this
were
not
the
case,
why
would
the
city
explicitly
identify
the
plaintiff's
race
in
its
Outreach
materials,
so
when
drawing
Maps
were
essentially
not
just
being
asked
to
promote
racial
Equity
without
focusing
on
racial
demographics,
but
also
not
provided
with
data
showing
how
race,
intersects,
with
a
variety
of
factors
to
Define
communities
of
Interest?
More
precisely,
I
created
the
maps
in
your
packet
by
cross-referencing,
dra
census
and
EPA
data
to
show
some
of
these
intersections
among
racial
socioeconomic
and
environmental
factors
that
affect
several
vulnerable
populations.
P
If
a
simple,
Social
Work
student,
motivated
only
by
ensuring
that
his
City's
policies
promote
social
justice,
can
create
these
maps
in
his
spare
time,
then
certainly
paid
City
staff
and
highly
paid
Consultants
can
and
should
provide
a
user-friendly
tool
showing
more
comprehensive
information
about
all
underrepresented
communities
of
Interest,
so
that
residents
can
make
informed
decisions
when
drawing
District
maps
without
having
to
reference
multiple
data
sources.
Otherwise,
this
attempt
at
soliciting
public
involvement
in
the
districting
process
becomes
little
more
than
a
glorified
and
expensive
paint
by
numbers
exercise.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
All
that
really
helped
me
as
a
single
parent
and
I
really.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that.
One
of
the
most
friendliest
cities
for
single
parents
to
acclimate
to
in
this
moment,
I've
found
that
wonderful
people
lived
here
of
all
all
colors
races,
Creeds,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
Okay,
it
was
it's
beautiful
and
when
I
found
out
that
we
were
being
redistricted,
I
said
what's
that
and
it
concerns
me
and
I'm.
Just
gonna
give
my
little
little
thing.
I
want
to
try
to
give
you
a
different
perspective.
Q
Q
People
came
here
from
all
walks
of
life,
contributing
to
the
veins,
the
arteries
streets,
residential
neighborhoods,
the
bones
of
the
infrastructure
buildings
for
employment,
business
Etc
everyone
here
everyone
brought
something
to
this
patient,
making
it
grow
and
become
strong
to
withstand
outside
influences,
which
I
would
call
a
disease
from
invading
it's
wonderful
embodiment
of
what
we
know
as
our
lovely
town
of
Burbank,
our
patient
Burbank
is
sick.
I,
see
big
government
encroaching
upon
lovely
city
trying
to
inject
a
poison
that
would
forever
change
what
made
Burbank
unique
from
other
cities.
Q
Burbank
represents
the
fabric
of
what
America
should
be
to
divide
a
city
into
many
districts,
to
cut
into
the
very
fabric
that
has
kept
us
as
a
unique
Community.
The
very
pulse
of
community
will
be
torn
at
part,
and
soon
you
will
see
the
hemorrhaging
of
the
spirit
and
fellowship
of
what
makes
us
community
as
a
whole,
to
separate
is
to
segregate,
to
segregate
us
to
divide
to
divide
is
to
create
discourse.
Discourse
leads
to
Falling
of
our
infrastructure.
Q
C
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
vice
mayor
council.
Congratulations
to
all
the
new
elected
officials.
It's
been
eight
years
since
I've
been
in
this
chamber
and
it's
nice
to
see
Judy
and
Justin
and
Joe
McDougall
here
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
these
folks
when
I
was
on
Council
for
eight
years,
so
I
I
guess.
What
brought
me
down
here
today
was
that,
when
I
had
heard
about
this,
I
had
no
knowledge
of
it
whatsoever.
R
Regardless
of
what
you
consider
Outreach
I
just
happen
to
hear
from
a
good
friend
of
mine,
I
attended
the
Forum
at
the
Buena
Vista
library,
which
honestly
I
thought
was
a
joke.
Okay,
we
weren't
allowed
to
speak.
Although
a
couple
of
us
stood
up
and
raised
their
hands
and
we
spoke
regardless.
Okay
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Gina
o
for
coming
down
kind
of
keeping
things
in
order
and
all
that
stuff,
lovely
lady.
R
R
There
are
four
million
people
502
square
miles,
so
there's
no
comparison.
The
two
whatsoever,
in
my
opinion,
to
sit
there
and
say
that,
for
example,
the
gentleman
mentioned
about
three
areas
that
where
certain
people
live
well,
if
there's
only
two
left
after
that,
Common
Sense
tells
me
the
hillside
is
going
to
be
one
and
where
Mr
Schultz
lives
down
in
his
area
would
be
the
other
one
okay.
So
it's
just
that.
R
You
know
I.
Just
think
that
this
is
all
getting
blown
out
of
proportion
and
everything
we've
heard
tonight:
it's
not
about!
What
can
you
do?
It's
like
how
we're
going
to
go
ahead?
District
it
have
we
thrown
in
the
towel.
Is
there's
going
to
be
discussions
about
that?
Anyone
think
about
possibly
an
election
to
find
out
how
the
people
feel
about
this
now
I
know:
Santa
Monica
spent
20
million
dollars
and
I
can't
expect
Burbank
to
spend
that
kind
of
money,
but
I
think
we're
just
throwing
the
towel
into
much
too
early.
R
N
N
We'd
end
up
having
to
chop
off
the
head
of
our
community
and
that's
your
interest.
Mr
Mayor
in
gerrymandering
there
is
a
movie
called
gerrymandering
and
I
hosted
a
screening
of
it
with
common
cause.
Once
when
I
was
a
leader
in
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
we
could
talk
more
about
that
later
now,
councilmember
takahasi
called
me.
She
wanted
to
meet
with
me
on
the
subject
and
she
told
me
she'd
like
to
see
something
positive
come
out
of
what
we're
doing
here.
N
She
I
think
photo
is
being
too
negative
with
all
my
stop.
Stop
stop!
Stop
stop
so
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about!
Stop,
stop,
stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop
I
want
to
talk
about
proportional
rank,
Choice
voting,
which
would
be
something
positive
and
the
council
member
is
very
interested
in
learning
about
it
and
I
hope
you
all
too,
as
a
league
one
voters,
member
the
councilwoman
already
knows
quite
a
lot
about
it
and
right
now,
I
don't
want
to
get
into
all
the
stuff
posted
today.
N
That's
quite
a
shock
that
was
posted
without
telling
us
it
wasn't
from
the
city,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
proportional
ranked
Choice
voting
satisfies
the
long-standing
desire
of
voting
rights
Advocates
to
give
voice
to
voting
minorities.
It
gives
voice
to
significant
minority
voting
blocks,
regardless
of
how
their
voters
are
distributed
on
the
map.
It
has
been
implemented
in
at
least
one
charter
city
in
California
to
settle
a
cvra
act
lawsuit.
N
Everyone
will
benefit
from
that
and
we
should
know
what
it
has
to
offer
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
you
know,
finally,
as
a
matter
of
proper
analysis,
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
every
good
consultant's
report
includes
analyzes
of
Alternatives,
whatever
whatever
is
under
consideration,
and
also
often
a
no
project
alternative
the
City
of
Burbank
and
the
entire
voting
rights
Community
would
benefit
from
your
sincere
and
thoughtful
consideration
of
achieving
proportional
representation
through
prcv.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All.
T
Mayor
Anthony
vice
mayor,
Schultz
and
Council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
I
I,
have
to
say
I'm
dismayed
because
the
fact
this
room
is
not
overflowing
should
be
just
really
concerned
to
us
all.
You
know
to
me
that
says
that
most
of
our
fellow
residents
may
not
even
know
about
this,
because
it,
it
kind
of
pains
me
to
think-
or
you
know,
really
I,
don't
really
believe
that
most
people
in
this
city
know
about
this
and
wouldn't
come
out
to
talk
about
it.
T
I
went
to
the
Forum
on
Saturday
and
they
were
only
about
12
or
13
people,
so
I
would
suggest
that
the
Outreach
is
not
working
whatever
Outreach
is
being
done.
I
think
more
has
to
be
done
whether
we
go
door
to
door.
Whether
I
mean
we
talk
about
that.
It's
on
the
Burbank
Channel,
but
but
most
people
don't
watch
the
Burbank.
Channel
I
mean
I
watched,
Burbank
Channel
because
I'm
a
political
geek,
but
you
know
most
people,
my
wife.
She
doesn't
watch
that
you
know
everything
that
she
knows
about.
T
This
I've
told
her
so
I
think
that
if
we
don't
get
it
in
front
of
all
of
the
people,
my
concern
is
that
they're
going
to
show
up
on
November
5th
2024
and
be
like
what
district
am
I.
What
what
is
this
about
and
not
know
what's
going
on,
and
that
should
never
happen.
The
gentleman
said
that
we're
in
phase
one
I
feel
like
we're
in
phase
two
three
of
this
process.
T
Like
we've
already
moved
past
this,
should
we
or
should
we
not
do
this
and
we're
already
measuring
out
maps
and
cutting
up
the
districts
without
even
considering
should
we
do
this
now,
I'm
part
of
that?
What
we
call
protective
class
and
I
can
tell
you
that,
even
though
it
says
according
to
federal
law,
gerrymandering
or
gerrymandering
is
not
allowed,
there
are.
T
There
are
states
all
over
this
country
where
black
people
are
fighting
for
their
right
to
vote,
their
their
communities
are
being
strategically
cut
up
so
that
the
whatever
pop
whatever
voting
population
wants.
That
vote
can
actually
gear
the
vote
toward
the
district
and
it's
very,
very
dangerous,
I
think
if
we
don't
really
decide
and
really
focus
on,
should
we
do
this
I
think
we're
going
to
be
at
a
loss
and-
and
it
kind
of
pains
me-
and
it
seems
like
there's
a
problem
in
this
law,
because
it's
very
anti-democratic.
T
How
can
it
not
go
to
the
people
and
say?
Is
this
the
right
way
to
go?
Are
we
indeed
in
violation
of
the
Voting
Rights
Act?
We
don't
even
know
that
this
is
one
person
that's
coming
forward
this
and
then
also
he's
coming
forward,
saying
that
it
is
to
embolden
his
vote
and
involved
in
his
vote
of
the
community,
but
you're
actually
taking
away
my
voice
to
decide
whether
this
is
the
way
to
go
forward.
So,
as
I
said,
I
think
that's
extremely
anti-democratic
and
we
should
really
take
a
deeper
look
at
this.
U
I
know
there's
some
ideas
out
there
also
about
perhaps
the
numbers
of
the
any
new
councils
that
might
be
created,
but
we
haven't
taken
any
positions
on
that.
Moving
on
to
my
personal
opinions,
one
I
think
the
numbers
should
be
increased.
Drastically.
I
looked
up
the
population
of
Burbank
when
it
was
founded.
Of
course,
there
wasn't
a
census
around
then
so
the
first
number
I
found
was
for
1920
2913.
and
this
year,
as
I
think
Gary
said,
or
in
the
last
census,
we're
at
108
000
dish.
U
So
that's
38
times
the
population
we're
a
little
underrepresented
overall,
so
personally,
I
think
11
would
be
the
magic
number
and
the
notion
of
having
one
with
the
person,
as
the
nominal
mayor
with
no
necessarily
additional
Powers,
who
could
be
the
All-City
person
would
be
a
great
idea.
This
way,
you
get
a
little
bit
of
both
aspects
as
far
as
the
actual
districting.
U
Are
there
the
best
thought
Getters
win,
that
that
would
be
the
that
would
be
one
solution
or
any
other
similar
ranking
system,
especially
since
we've
gone
to
a
one
round
election,
which
is,
in
my
opinion,
sub-optimal
forced
in
part
by
the
foolish
law
that
was
passed
whenever
that
was
that
forced
all
cities
to
make
these
decisions,
so
am
I
missing
any
of
my
points,
nope,
that's
it
we'll
be
talking
again.
Thank
you.
V
Hi
Council
how's
it
going
Gavin,
Quentin,
Burbank
leader,
obviously
I'm
a
reporter,
so
I
don't
have
a
public
opinion
on
this
matter.
Really
just
a
question
I'd
like
to
see
clarified
that
I'm,
seeing
on
Facebook
and
my
email
inbox
in
here
you
know.
Obviously
this
is
in
some
way
being
imposed
on
the
council
by
the
cvra,
and
this
claim
that's
been
made,
but
you
know
we
we
have
to
do
it.
V
I
see
that
question
happening
a
lot
online
and,
like
I,
said
in
my
inbox,
maybe
some
examples
we
could
get
from
Doug,
just
indicating
maybe
cities
that
have
switched
to
districting.
Have
we
seen
the
election
of
more
Latinos
or
or
other
particular
groups,
I'd
like
to
see
information
on
that
and
I
think
that
could
help
maybe
clear
the
air
a
little
bit.
Thank
you.
W
Still,
thank
you
Mr,
Mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
I'm
I'm
a
24-year
resident
of
Burbank
I.
Just
heard
about
this.
Your
outreach
program,
your
vendors
outreach
program,
is
horrific.
They
sent
out
2
000
mailers
I,
looked
through
the
data
today,
I
read
the
the
the
actual
text
of
the
Court,
you
know
filing
and
it
was
copy
and
pasted
into
attachment
three
I'm,
not
sure
why
that
is,
but
that
gave
me
some
pause
I'd
like
to
see
the
council
fight.
This
reverse
your
stance
on
this.
W
It
sounds
like
a
done
deal,
but
if
we're
in
phase
one,
it's
not
a
done
deal,
we
spent
millions
of
dollars
propping
up
the
golf
course
for
years
and
years
and
years
until
they
hit
it
in
the
general
fund.
And
you
know,
if
you
don't,
you
can
spend
money
on
that.
That's
just
a
loser
and
it's
been
a
loser
for
years
and
years
and
you're
telling
me
you
can't
fight
on
the
behalf
of
of
the
citizens
of
this
of
this
city
for
a
couple.
You
know
at
least
a
year
and
then
throw
in
the
towel.
W
Then
you
need
to
fight
this
and
if,
if
we
do
come
to
a
settlement,
I'd
love
to
see
ranked
Choice
voting
council
member,
so
we're
very
interested
in
this
and
I'm
I'm,
encouraging
you
all
to
read.
Dr
David
Gordon's
letters
that
he
sent
as
part
of
the
public
record
that
aren't
available
online.
Yet
I'm
still
a
minute
and
a
half
left,
it's
great
to.
D
W
W
So
I'm
going
to
tell
you
right
now,
I'm
in
the
busiest
time
of
my
year,
but
I
came
home,
came
right
here
from
work
without
any
preparation
to
speak
my
mind
and
I'm,
encouraging
everyone
to
keep
coming
to
these
meetings
and
I'm
going
to
be
videotaping.
The
hearings
from
now
on
myself
as
a
private
citizen
and
hopefully
we'll
get
them
online
for
people
as
long
as
I'm
not
working
on
the
weekend,
but
thank
you
all
I'd
say
fight
it.
W
This
is
undemocratic
and
I
think
it's
way
too
soon
to
just
give
up
on
this
other
cities
or
other
cities,
other
fights
or
other
fights,
so
we're
doing
a
great
job.
People
cited
as
a
protected
part
of
a
protected
class
or
sitting
on
the
dice
right
now.
So
that's
something
new
and
it's
a
positive.
You
know
development
so
anyway,
great
talking
to
you
all
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
G
X
Y
Feinstein
I'm
a
former
mayor
and
city
council
member
in
Santa
Monica,
and
a
long-time
electrical
reform,
organizer
and
Advocate
I'm,
following
up
on
an
email
that
I
sent
to
you
earlier
today,
at
12
40..
As
you
may
know,
a
cvra
litigation
against
the
city
of
Santa
Monica
was
filed
in
2016.
and
instead
of
conceding
the
plaintiff's
argument,
and
rather
than
automatically
changing
our
electoral
system
from
multi-seat
at
large
plurality.
Elections
like
in
use
in
your
city
to
single-seat
winner
take
all
districts.
Y
Santa
Monica
has
contested
the
litigation
after
a
July
2020
decision
in
Santa
Monica's
favor
in
the
court
of
appeals.
Cases
now
scheduled
to
be
heard
by
the
California
Supreme
Court
sometime
in
2023,
most
likely
to
be
heard
by
the
October
date
that
your
consultant
talked
to
you
about
where
you're
going
to
be
considering
Alternatives.
So
my
first
recommendation
to
you
is
to
ask
your
staff
to
contact
the
Santa,
Monica,
City,
attorney's
office
and
review
with
our
city.
Y
Y
Me
does
not
work
well
for
all
cities
and
how
prcd
can
be
a
preferable
alternative.
So
I
hope
you
give
your
staff
the
direction
for
those
two
things
to
talk
to
Santa
Monica,
to
learn
more
about
our
experience
with
the
cvra
and
to
study
prcv.
So
when
you
get
to
October
and
the
Santa
Monica
decision
is
rendered,
you'll
have
full
information
in
your
hands.
Thank
you.
For
your
time,
foreign.
E
Council,
member
and
mayor
by
speaking
in
strong
opposition
to
the
proposed
district-based
voting
system,
the
process
is
legally
required
to
be
fair
and
unbiased.
It
is
not
this
public
hearing
May
likewise
be
defective.
Most
people
in
Burbank
are
unaware
of
these
proposed
historic
changes
that
will
strip
them
of
their
voting
representation
from
five
council
members
to
one.
If
the
city
attorney's
response
to
my
concerns
about
the
people
being
uninformed
was
quote,
the
tight,
Safe
Harbor
time
frames
under
the
cvra
do
not
afford
time
for
polling
the
community
on
the
popularity
of
transitioning
to
districts.
E
Unquote,
I'm,
sorry!
This
is
not
about
popularity.
It's
about
selling
out
the
public
selected
representation
in
a
rushed
up
to
judgment,
and
it
is
wrong.
City
attorney
advised
the
council
that
quote
to
date.
No
city
has
successfully
defeated
a
lawsuit
under
the
cvra
unquote.
This
does
not
mean
we
should
throw
up
our
hands
and
surrender.
In
fact,
the
council
adopted
a
resolution
on
January
24th
to
consider
adopting
this
change.
E
If
that
is
not
what
is
written
on
this
public
hearing
staff
report
for
on
the
city's
web
site,
promo
piece,
the
City
attorney
wrote
and
tonight's
staff
report
quote
on
January
24
2023,
the
council
adopted
a
resolution
of
intent
to
initiate
a
transition
to
District
elections.
Unquote,
this
is
very
misleading
and
not
what
the
council
adopted
the
actual
January
24th
resolution.
States
quote.
The
city
council
hereby
resolves
to
consider
adoption
of
an
ordinance
to
transition
to
a
district-based
election
system.
Unquote,
the
city's
website
misleads
with
the
same
word,
games
this.
E
Thus,
this
public
hearing
and
Outreach
implies
the
decision
is
a
done
deal
that
was
not
the
council's
stated
Direction
a
change
to
district-based
voting
will
polarize
our
city
and
likely
fractured
one
established,
well-defined
neighborhoods.
All
Burbank
voters
will
be
disenfranchised
from
their
current
voting
rights
with
less
representation
and
voice.
Ironically,
the
politically
influence
of
protected
classes
and
the
voters.
The
CRA
was
intended
to
enhance,
will
likewise
be
reduced.
E
I
urge
the
council
to
protect
the
long-term
best
interest
of
all
Burbank
residents
and
voters
and
not
be
intimidated,
do
not
capitulate
to
unjustified
threatened
litigation
instead
gather
what
legal
resources
are
needed
and
fight
with
courage,
determination
and
Leadership.
The
city
has
faced
huge
legal
challenges
in
the
past
that
has
prevailed
and
I'm
confident
it.
Z
Good
evening
Dear
honorable
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Joan
Hardy
I'm
a
volunteer
for
the
League
of
Women
Voters
of
Greater
Los
Angeles,
and
we
have
a
unit
that
provides
voter
services
in
the
Glendale
Burbank
area.
We
routinely
provide
candidate
forums
with
the
cooperation
of
the
city
for
local
state
and
federal
elections
for
each
election.
The
state
League
provides
useful
voter
service
tools,
such
as
the
easy
voter
guide
and
in-depth
materials
called
pros
and
cons
on
the
ballot
measures.
Z
We
also
had
a
holiday
party
where
we
had
Lee
a
league
expert
talk
about
proportional,
ranked
Choice
voting,
I.
Remember
several
city
council
members,
I
think
it
was
Bob,
fructose
and
definitely
Jess
telemontes
were
in
attendance
and
they
acknowledged
the
benefits
of
proportional,
ranked
Choice
voting.
So
this
is
a
concept
that
I
know.
The
City
of
Burbank
has
talked
about
before,
as
perhaps
being
a
good
choice
for
how
Burbank
runs
its
local
elections
as
a
volunteer
for
the
league.
We're
excited
to
hear
about
Burbank
talking
about
how
to
best
improve
their
electoral
process.
Z
I
know
the
emphasis
has
been
on
creating
District
Maps,
which
I
think
the
league.
You
know
Fields
would
be
an
improvement
over
the
at-large
elections
you
currently
have,
but
we,
the
league,
also
supports
proportional
ranked
Choice
voting
as
a
good
alternative
to
what
Burbank
currently
has,
which
is
the
at-large
election
system.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
Recognize
expert
on
electoral
systems
support
Mr,
gutierrez's
goal
to
make
sure
protected
groups,
get
their
fair
share
of
representation
on
the
city
council
and
have
the
opportunity
to
elect
candidates
of
their
choice.
But
it
isn't
clear
to
me
that
District
elections
will
do
that.
The
City
attorney
has
stated
that
protected
groups
are
too
dispersed
to
be
able
to
draw
a
majority
minority
District.
We
will
need
to
wait
until
maps
are
posted
on
June
6
to
see
if
that
is
the
case.
K
If
so,
it
may
be
that
a
proportional
solution,
such
as
adopted
by
the
city
of
Albany
and
Alameda
County,
will
provide
a
better
opportunity
for
protected
groups
to
get
their
fair
share
of
representation
on
the
city
council.
Should
that
be
the
case,
I
hope
that
at
that
time,
both
both
Mr,
both
Mr
Gutierrez
and
the
city
council,
will
be
open
to
considering
a
proportional
solution.
I
note
that,
after
adopting
proportional
ranked
Choice
voting,
the
city
of
Albany
elected
both
its
first
Latino
and
its
first
Asian
American
to
its
city
council.
Thank
you
very
much.
AA
And
I'm
co-founder
of
fair
vote
in
one
of
the
architects
of
the
ranked
Choice
voting
method
that
is
used
in
over
60
U.S
cities.
In
many
states,
I
was
contacted
by
Burbank
residents
and
asked
to
offer
you
some
thoughts
about
the
current
move
to
go
to
District
elections
as
a
result
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act
threat.
AA
An
alternative
method
exists
that
not
only
would
provide
better
presentation
to
the
underrepresented
communities
targeted
by
the
cdra,
but
would
also
allow
Burbank
to
retain
city-wide
elections
and,
at
the
same
time
offer
Burbank
a
degree
of
Safe
Harbor
from
the
cvra.
That
method
is,
as
you've
been
hearing
proportional,
ranked
Choice
voting,
the
Burbank
City
attorney
staff
report
says,
and
I
quote.
It
is
not
statistically
possible
to
create
a
single
member
electoral
District
in
Burbank,
in
which
Latino
eligible
voters
constitute
a
majority.
Both
the
Latino
and
the
Asian
populations
of
the
city
are
dispersed
throughout.
AA
In
addition,
switching
to
proportional
rcd
would
actually
delay
and
provide
a
safe
harbor
against
a
CVR
attempt.
Cvra
attempt
to
force
the
council
to
switch
to
districts.
The
reason
is
because
the
cvra
action
is
a
data-driven
process.
The
plaintiff
has
to
come
forward
with
specific
data
that
proves
their
claims
of
a
long-standing
pattern
of
racially
polarized
voting
under
the
current
system
and,
to
some
extent,
a
lack
of
political
success
from
Minority
candidates
and
voters
under
the
current
system.
But
if
Burbank
switched
to
proportional
RCV,
that
act
would
reset
the
clock
in
terms
of
collecting
data.
AA
The
plaintiffs
could
not
claim
there
is
polarized
voting
under
prcv
when
it
had
not
been
used
yet
so
scientists
would
have
to
delay
their
cvra
lawsuit
for
a
number
of
years.
I
have
followed
the
lawsuit
in
Santa
Monica
closely
and
I.
Understand
that
as
council
members,
you
feel
that
you
were
in
a
difficult
situation
in
Santa
Monica
the
cvra
lawsuit
divided
the
community,
including
the
Latino
Community.
AA
Since
the
Latin
Community
is
geographically
dispersed,
it
will
not
be
helped
help,
but
she
also
seems
in
Burbank,
so
some
members
of
the
Latino
community
in
Santa
Monica
were
opposed
to
that
lawsuit.
So
I
encourage
you
to
take
some
time
to
explore
options
that
are
arguably
will
fulfill
the
goals
of
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
better
than
District
elections
will
in
Burbank.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
foreign.
AB
AB
How
do
you
know
that
a
majority
of
Burbank
voters
want
to
do
this?
Why
not
put
the
idea
of
doing
this
to
a
vote?
Wouldn't
a
judge
agree
to
that.
It
seems
absolutely
clear:
all
voters
will
have
less
power
than
our
current
system
and
for
sure
any
protected
class
or
any
other
group,
no
matter
how
you
define
it.
AB
That
group,
if
we
are
forced
into
these
gerrymandered
districts,
will
have
access
to
fewer
council
members
who
should
be
trying
to
earn
their
vote
if
a
person
in
any
group,
especially
a
protected
class,
is
injured
or
loses
voting
power
along
the
lines
of
their
racial
identity,
which
will
happen
here.
Whatever
mechanism
that
happens
by
I
would
think
would
be
considered
a
racist
action
by
that
logic,
though
not
intentioned,
how
can
anyone
say
that
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
in
the
way
it
will
affect
Burbank,
is
anything
other
than
racist?
AB
Didn't
we
pass
an
ordinance.
That
said,
we
would
try
to
analyze
laws
and
government
actions
to
be
sure
that
we
would
try
not
to
act
in
a
racist
way
going
forward
if
this
passes,
without
a
direct
vote
of
the
people
on
the
ballot
to
change
the
government.
In
this
way,
how
can
we
keep
that
ordinance
on
the
books
when
the
most
basic
process
of
voting
would
not
be
protected?
AB
Are
we
going
to
sit
in
our
Glass
House
of
California
and
pretend
we
aren't
dismantling
democracy
in
our
own
way?
If
we
change
governments
without
the
clear
consent
of
the
government,
I
urge
you
to
at
least
put
a
change
to
districts
to
a
vote
of
the
people
who
will
be
governed
by
it
and
absolutely
get
our
state
legislators
to
consider
a
change
to
the
CVA
or
some
other
state
level
remedy
to
get
an
injunction
so
that
we
can
put
this
to
a
vote
and
determine
for
ourselves
our
own
form
of
government.
C
L
Both
in
person
and
calls
most
of
that
I
think
we
can
handle
with
Council
questions
but
specifically
as
to
I'm,
not
sure
if
it
was
Mr,
Holtzman
I
know
he
made
this
comment
in
email
earlier,
but
either
Mr
Holtzman
or
another
speaker
talked
about
not
knowing
the
Identity
or
the
city
posting
those
two
plaintiff
documents
without
identity.
The
memo
post
had
actually
identifies
the
name
of
the
potential
plaintiff
and
that
they
are
their
documents
that
is
clearly
identified
on
the
website.
L
As
to
Mr
Hamill's
allegation
that
implementing
the
CRA
by
going
to
districts
is
racist,
there's
actually
case
law
that
says
the
cdra
actually
implements
the
equal
protection
Clause
of
the
Constitution
finding
that,
even
though
it
uses
some
race-based
factors
that
it
actually
implements
that
by
remedying
inequities
in
voting.
So
there's
that
and
then
I
would
invite
Mr
Johnson
to
come
up
and
address
the
handout
provided
by
Mr
cavanolo
I
believe
it
was
regarding
demographic
analysis
and
factors.
M
M
We
don't
control
what's
in
it
and
they
only
put
the
very
basic
data
in
it,
actually
we're
the
only
ones
who
share
the
socioeconomic
data
as
much
as
we
can
with
our
clients
so
I,
it's
not
something
we
control
over
and
there's
actually
another
tool,
an
online
map
tool,
that's
like
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
esri,
and
it
also
does
not
include
the
socioeconomic
data.
Unfortunately,
I
will
say,
though,
that
appreciate
him
sending
in
the
maps.
You
know
the
more
data,
the
better
of
people
that
will
is
available
and
that'll
be
posted.
M
M
It's
gathered
by
fairly
large
block
groups,
and
so
it
may
show
renters
actually
in
a
in
a
single
family
area,
because
that
street
is
just
in
a
law
group
that
is
generally
renters,
so
I
will
say
we
encourage
presidents
to
use
your
knowledge
of
the
city,
use
the
knowledge
that
he
talked
about,
of
where
the
renters
are,
where
the
area
is
impacted
by
pollution
are
all
those
kinds
of
things.
This
is
you
know.
People
know
this
city
pretty
well.
M
This
is
in
Los
Angeles,
where
you
never
get
to
the
other
end
of
town,
so
definitely
want
as
much
data
out
there
as
possible.
We
share
as
much
as
we
can
I
support
the
goal
of
putting
more
data
out
there,
but
it
doesn't
preclude
people
from
taking
into
consideration
all
the
things
that
the
gentleman
mentioned
and
more
whatever
is
of
import
to
the
individual
resident.
M
They
know
it
and
they
they
know
the
streets
and
and
in
this
town,
most
people
know
where
the
renters
are
where
the
single-family
homeowners
are
and
if
they
want
to
check
it,
they
just
drive
over
in
two
minutes
and
check
so
I
I
support
the
theory.
Unfortunately,
that
tool
has
not
been
developed.
We
would
love
for
at
the
moment
it
is
developed.
We
will
be
bringing
it
everywhere,
but
the
data
is
certainly
available
and
we
encourage
people
to
keep
these
things
in
mind.
L
All
right,
Mr
Mayor,
going
through
my
notes,
Mr,
spell
raised
the
issue
of
why
the
hearings
weren't
recorded
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
for
the
public
that
there
are
two
types
of
meetings
that
are
happening.
This
is
the
second
public
hearing.
These
public
hearings
are
required
by
the
elections
code
and
they
control
at
what
point
we
look
at
different
information
in
the
process,
so
these
first
two
are
overviews
of
the
demographic
information
and
an
explanation
of
the
process.
L
These
are
public
hearings
where
all
the
comments
are
on
the
record
and
part
of
the
record,
and
we
have
another.
We
have
meetings
with
maps
and
then
we
have
meetings
for
consideration
of
maps
to
be
adopted
by
ordinance.
Each
of
these
five
meetings
all
have
a
record
here
in
the
dice.
That's
recorded
the
other
meetings
are
forums
or
workshops
to
talk
the
initial
three
to
talk
about
the
tools.
The
remaining
hearings
will
be
discussions
of
maps,
and
so
there
are
more
working
sessions.
L
We
originally
weren't
expecting
to
take
a
lot
of
testimony
on
the
process
in
those
workshops,
because,
as
we
envisioned
them,
they
were
more
instructional
and
they're.
Actually,
computers
that
no
one
used,
because
people
were
more
interested
in
talking
about
the
process,
which
is
understandable,
but
we
were
expecting.
We
would
maybe
get
some
more
Hands-On
mapping.
L
So
that's
a
legal
distinction,
that's
important
for
me
and
I
understand
it's
maybe
perceived
different
from
the
public
but
they're
two
different
meetings,
so
the
there's
eight
forums
or
workshops
and
there's
five
hearings,
and
so
there
was
a
purpose
for
those
being
different
and-
and
that's
just
by
way
of
General
explanation
for
the
public.
As
to
the
distinction
between
those
venue.
AC
C
AD
I
actually
have
a
question
for
the
City
attorney
and
if
it's
possible
that
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
ranked
Choice
voting
that
was
mentioned
by
several
speakers
and
I
know,
we
did
receive
a
memo
from
the
city
clerk
regarding
that
issue.
If
it
is
something
that
we
can
share
with
the
public,
why
we
did
not
choose
to
decide,
let's
go
to
ring
Choice
voting.
L
Yeah,
so
the
clerk's
information
was
just
preliminary
in
participating
in
these
hearings.
They
heard
the
interest
and
they've
started
an
inquiry
with
the
county
and
with
some
of
the
other
cities
in
our
area
that
have
chosen
to
do
ranked.
Choice
voting
but
Redondo
Beach
hasn't
yet
conducted
an
election
it'll
be
a
year
and
a
half
before
they're,
actually
in
a
position
to
do
that.
L
Redondo
Beach,
who
had
a
charter
election,
chose
to
go
to
ranked
Choice
voting
they're
doing
so
by
District,
so
they're
still
doing
District
elections
they'll
do
rank
Choice
voting
within
each
district,
they've
selected
a
vendor
to
our
understanding,
that's
going
through
the
process
for
approval
or
certification
from
the
California
Secretary
of
State,
but
has
not
yet
received
that
and
then
I'm,
not
an
expert
in
rake
Choice
voting.
But
my
understanding
is:
there
are
four
or
five
five
different
methods
to
implement
ranked
Choice
voting
and
Redondo
Beach
to
my
understanding
has
not
yet
selected.
L
One
of
those
choices,
so
it's
preliminary,
but
their
decision
to
go
to
ranked
Choice
voting,
means
that
they
need
to
continue
to
administer
their
own
elections.
They
don't
consolidate
with
the
county,
as
Burbank
has
so
there's
quite
a
bit
involved.
That's
just
preliminary
information
from
Redondo
Beach
in
Los,
Angeles
County,
and
we
don't
yet
have
anything
publicly
to
release
because
staff
in
the
city
clerk's
office
has
only
started
to
investigate
that
as
to
why
we
didn't
the
city
attorney's
office,
who's
kind
of
been
quarterbacking.
L
This
process,
the
city
attorney's
office,
is
quarterbacking
the
process
because
it
is
ongoing
threat
of
litigation.
Our
Safe
Harbor,
our
current
Safe
Harbor,
expires
on
the
24th
of
April.
We
do
not
have
an
agreement
to
extend
it,
so
the
process
of
complying
with
the
cvra,
as
most
other
cities
have
doesn't
afford
the
amount
of
time
to
go
into
all
the
details
of
proportional
rank,
Choice
voting
or
any
other
form
of
ranked
Choice
voting
and
the
requirement
that
we
would
have
to
go
back
to
hosting
our
own
elections
or
administering
our
own
elections.
L
Those
are
a
lot
of
decisions
that
go
well
beyond
our
office
and
don't
keep
us
in
the
safe
harbor.
So
that's
you
know.
People
have
raised
a
lot
of
interesting
points
and
there
are
commenters.
Clearly
the
former
council
member
of
Santa,
Monica,
probably
has
more
experience,
does
have
more
experience
than
myself
with
that
subject
and
that's
something
that
we
would
have
to
look
into.
L
But
our
primary
consideration
has
been
the
track
record
of
cities
in
in
defending
against
these
cases,
the
cost
of
the
cases
and
the
very
limited
amount
of
time
that
the
city
has
to
comply
with
the
law
before
again
being
subject
to
litigation.
That's
just
a
legal
threat.
You
know
this
Council
has
to
decide
how
it
wishes
to
proceed
and
we've
provided
a
vehicle
to
keep
us
within
those
safe
harbors.
But
that's
not
the
council's.
L
Only
decision,
the
FAQ
posted
on
the
city's
districting
website
does
identify
that
this
process
is
not
concluded
until
a
majority
of
the
council.
Both
introduces
and
then
adopts
an
ordinance.
So
certainly,
there's
no
done
deal,
but
council
is
not
even
in
a
position
to
take
that
action
until
we
follow
the
process
to
even
put
maps
in
front
of
the
council,
the
speaker
from
the
news,
Mr
Quentin,
Gavin
Quinton,
had
asked,
which
is
more
fair.
L
Well,
we
really
don't
know
that
until
we
see
the
map
so
right
now
the
city-wide
demographics
of
Latino
voters
is
about
22
percent,
but
if
districts
are
focused
in
to
include
neighborhoods
with
a
higher
concentration,
it's
logical
and
I
believe
the
process
is
designed
to
increase
their
influence
and
the
ACT
doesn't
just
speak
to
majority
minority
districts.
It
also
speaks
to
increasing
influence
and
there's
no
precise
threshold
for
how
much
influence,
but
we
won't
really
know
until
we
look
at
the
maps
what
those
new
demographics
are
for:
The,
Envision
districts.
L
So
that's
just
kind
of
the
test.
That's
why
we
didn't
go
to
ranked
Choice
voting.
It
doesn't
I
disagree
with
the
speaker,
I'm,
not
convinced
I'm,
not
saying,
there's
no
possibility
but
I'm,
not
convinced
that
the
city
gets
to
reset
the
clock,
because
we
pick
a
non-district
option.
The
only
city
in
the
state
that
has
done
so
has
done
so
pursuant
to
a
settlement
agreement
and
remains
subject
to
that
pre-litigation
settlement
agreement.
L
If
they
violate
that
the
plaintiff's
council
still
reserves
the
right
to
sue
them,
they
haven't
lost
their
standing
to
sue
the
city
of
Albany
I.
Believe
it
is
so
my
obligation
is
your
city
attorneys
to
advise
you
on
that
risk
and
find
a
path
forward,
and
the
council
faces
the
tough
decision
to
decide
how
the
city
moves
forward.
M
M
We're
talking
about
this
there's
a
lot
of
interest
when
we
get
to
phase
two
I'd
encourage
them
to
look
at
the
Highland
case,
Highland
actually
tried
to
go
to
Kim
with
devoting
and
the
judge
actually
forced
them
into
districts,
not
to
say
it
didn't
say
it's
impossible,
just
given
the
facts
of
Highland
the
judgment
to
District,
so
that
should
be
something
that
people
who
want
to
go.
That
way
should
address
as
well.
AD
AD
My
understanding
is
our
second
choice
is
to
also
be
able
to
put
this
on
the
ballot
for
the
March
2024
election,
and
that
is
to
allow
the
voters
the
right
to
speak,
and
let
us
know
if
this
is
something
they
choose
to
do
they
choose
to
have
for
the
City
of
Burbank,
I,
understand
and
I
know
you're
going
to
go
into.
Perhaps
what
might
be
our
facing
legal,
litigations
or
some
issues
with
that?
But
I
would
really
appreciate.
If
you
can
let
all
of
us
to
hear
that
we
do
have
those
two
choices.
L
Certainly,
the
council
has
the
option
of
putting
the
decision
of
whether
to
go
to
districts
and
what
those
districts
look
like
as
a
ballot
measure
that
doesn't
necessarily
eliminate
the
Safe
Harbor.
If
you're
going
to
go,
if
you're
going
to
delay
that
you
may
not
wish
to
delay
the
phase
two,
because
right
now,
as
Mr
Johnson
indicated,
we're
trying
to
stay
within
the
safe
harbor
and
the
options
that
we've
proposed
for
Council
that
we're
currently
looking
at
is
an
option
that
is
most
consistent
with
the
charter.
L
As
it
reads
today,
if
the
council
goes
to
five
districts,
there's
only
the
word
at
large.
That's
inconsistent
with
the
current
Charter.
If
the
city
wishes,
if
the
council
wishes
to
put
that
decision,
the
decision
of
if
and
how
many
on
a
future
election
the
state
primary
election
in
March
of
2024,
then
the
decision
about
how
many
districts
may
need
to
be
made
at
the
same
time,
because
there
won't
be
another
election.
There
won't
be
time
to
then
confront
the
issue
of
the
number
before
the
November
2024
election.
L
In
other
words,
we
have
to
make
the
March
2024
election
to
set
whatever
the
the
voting
method
is
in
place
so
that
it
can
be
used
in
November
of
2024..
So
the
current
schedule
that
Mr
Johnson
spoke
to-
and
that
is
in
the
agenda
item
the
plan-
is
to
get
to
the
Safe
Harbor
with
a
district
plan.
That's
agreeable
to
the
council
and
then
have
a
second
phase
where
we
can
consider
many
of
the
questions
the
council
raised
on
January
24th.
What
about
four
districts
and
separately
elected
mayor?
L
L
The
question
is
how
much
of
that
is
going
to
be
ready
to
put
on
the
ballot
for
Charter
amendment
in
March
of
2024..
So
I
can't
really
answer
those
questions,
but
we
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
the
other
phases
after
March
of
2024
and
have
that
in
effect
for
November
20
24..
So
there's
some
there's
some
scheduling
issues
that
I'm
I'm
not
really
prepared
to
address,
based
upon
the
current
schedule
that
we've
provided.
AD
Sorry,
but
with
all
that
we
we
can
definitely
address
the
district
issues
in
March.
2024
primary
then
address
all
the
other
issues,
whether
we
have
seven
eight
may
or
elected
or
Not
address,
probably
either
we
can
have
a
special
election
after
November
2024,
or
we
can
also
push
that
into
November
2026,
where
we
can
put
that
on
the
ballot
as
well.
I
mean
there's
a
possibility,
I'm.
Looking
sorry
I'm,
putting
a
little
bit
of
my
city
clerk's
hat
on
where
these
things
can
definitely
be
on
ballots
and
it
can
be
addressed
in
future
elections.
AD
L
Agree
that
if
we
dispense
with
the
current
deadlines
that
that
we've
proposed
that
staff
has
proposed
that
there
are
a
much
greater
number
of
options
and
the
council
could
make
a
decision
to
Simply
do
five
in
March
of
2024
and
there
will
be
some
limitations.
Therefore
our
instance
are
limitations
on
what
types
of
special
elections
you
can
do,
whether
they
have
to
be
with
Consolidated
with
State
elections,
and
so
we'd
have
to
look
at
that
to
see
how
that
directs
our
scheduling
decisions.
L
H
One
to
make
a
distinction
in
piggyback
off
of
what
councilman
Mullins
was
asking
I
I
just
want
to
make
a
distinction
for
the
sake
of
the
public
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
with
ranked
Choice
voting.
There
are
several
cities
in
in
California
that
do
that,
but
many
of
those
are
also
districted
correct.
L
All
my
information
is
all
except
the
city
of
Albany,
which
is
done
pursuant
to
a
settlement
agreement
with
one
of
the
more
prolific
plaintiff's
attorneys
on
voting
rights
issues.
All
of
them
are
by
district
and
many
of
them,
maybe
all
of
them
and
and
I'm
not
sure.
If
Mr
Johnson
knows
this
for
sure,
but
I
think
most
of
them
are
all
in
counties
that
also
do
rank
are
equipped
for
ranked
Choice
voting.
L
Albany
is
for
sure,
because
it's
in
Alameda,
County
I,
believe
so
all
of
them
are
in
counties
where
the
county
can
administer
the
election,
I
believe
only
Redondo
Beach,
which
actually
hasn't
finalized.
How
they're
going
to
do
it
is
in
a
county
that
has
told
us
they're
not
equipped
to
do
ranked
Choice
voting
and
again,
that's
not
anything
official.
That's
published
that's
based
upon
some
preliminary
informal
telephone
conversations,
and
certainly
we
could
work
with
the
city
clerk
to
firm
that
up.
H
AE
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
thank
you
to
everybody
who
came
out
to
speak.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
this
process
and
for
providing
different
ideas
and
thoughts
about
how
to
make
this
the
best
process
possible.
So
I
wanted
just
to
confirm
that,
in
order
for
us
to
really
understand
the
impact
of
going
to
districts,
we
have
to
see
the
maps
we
have
to
understand
the
maps
first,
and
so
that's
that's
the
step
we
need
to
take
next
before
we
can
really
understand.
I
mean
a
lot
of
these
questions.
AE
So
if
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
this,
this
is
why
we're
doing
this
first,
that's
why
it
feels
like
maybe
we're
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
is
because
we
we
have
to
get
the
information
somehow,
and
this
is
how
we
get
the
information
to
know
whether
or
not
that
this
process
is
actually
going
to
make
it
more
fair
and
less
diluted.
Is
that
correct?
Mr
Mr
attorney.
Yes,.
L
L
Actual
threatened
litigation
is
preceding
under
threat
of
litigation
where
I
do
not
advise
the
council's
share
our
own
direct
analysis
of
the
facts,
and
so
you
know
we're
doing
all
of
this
public
engagement
and
there's
certain
questions
that
we
can't
answer
because
we
may
be
defending
a
lawsuit
and
so
that's
difficult
for
the
public.
Many
of
them
have
asked
very
direct
questions
about
exactly
what
evidence
the
city
has
reviewed,
and
my
answer
is:
I
can't
tell
you
that,
which
is
why
we
attach
those
two
documents
to
the
staff
report
this
evening.
L
It
shows
you
know,
I,
don't
agree
with
all
of
the
allegations.
I
do
not
validate
their
information,
but
what
it
shows
is
they've
identified,
particular
ballot
contests,
in
which
they
believe
there's
racially
polarized
voting
in
Burbank
and
they've
done
so
in
a
way
where
they've
met
some
minimum
threshold
to
be
able
to
bring
a
lawsuit.
L
So
that
starts
the
clock
and
and
puts
us
in
the
position
of
having
to
respond,
and
so
yes,
this
process
has
started
and
not
been
transparent
in
that
regard,
because
we
don't
publicly
discuss
all
of
our
legal
strategy
on
matters
such
as
this,
but
we're
asking
the
public
for
input
in
under
circumstances
where
they
feel
they're,
not
getting
all
of
the
information
and
and
unfortunately,
from
my
perspective,
some
of
that
is
of
is
unavoidable.
Right.
AE
If
I
understand
correctly
as
well,
that
the
information
that
we
are
working
on
is
also
somewhat
not
speculative,
but
it's
like
kind
of
back
of
the
napkin
math,
because
we
haven't
done
the
full
process
of
doing
the
the
community
outreach
and
the
districting
and
drawing
the
maps
to
look
at
so
that
I
think
even
that
would
not
be
information.
We
could
really
use
to
make
a
decision
at
this
point
anyway.
L
AE
L
The
fourth
hearing
you
so
the
third
hearing,
you're
gonna,
see
maps,
okay,
right,
you're,
gonna,
see
aggregate
map,
information
and
Mr
Johnson's
going
to
be
more
specific.
But
let
me
say
what
I'm
going
to
say
and
the
Mr
Johnson
can
correct
me,
because
so
the
third
hearing
you're
going
to
see
maps
and
then
we're
going
to
be
talking
with
the
community
about
those
maps
at
the
fourth
hearing,
you're
going
to
get
a
more
limited,
more
accurate
set
of
options
and
the
council,
hopefully
a
majority.
L
Well,
hopefully,
for
me,
a
majority
of
the
council
will
find
one
that
they
believe
best
represents
districts
and
accomplishes
the
legal
requirements
that
Mr
Johnson
went
over
on
his
slide
deck
the
federal
requirements,
the
state
requirements
and
the
optional
requirements.
So,
yes,
Council
will
the
options
will
be
refined
as
the
process
goes
and
at
the
fourth
hearing
you'll
be
making
a
decision,
and
the
fifth
hearing
will
be
basically
a
second
reading
and
you'll
still
need
a
majority
vote
got
it.
M
And
just
to
reinforce
what
the
secretary
is
just
saying,
we
want
and
kind
of
to
speak
the
the
unspoken
assumption
at
the
third
and
fourth
hearings.
We
encourage
everyone
to
weigh
in
on
which
map
they
think
is
best,
because
the
first
piece
is
to
pick
the
best
map.
The
second
step
is
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
do
it.
So
even
people
who
don't
want
to
go
to
districts
who
prefer
city-wide
ranked
Choice
voting.
M
Hopefully
they
will
weigh
in
on
which
map
they
consider
best
because
that's
not
meaning
they
endorse
districts,
they're
just
endorsing
if
we're
doing
districts,
that's
the
best
map,
so
definitely,
and
especially
in
that
third
hearing.
If
we
can
separate
the
two
questions,
the
third
hearing
is
about
about
narrowing
the
list
of
maps.
It's
not
about
whether
or
not
to
go
to
districts.
That'll
be
addressed
to
the
fourth
and
fifth.
AE
Year
got
it
okay,
thank
you,
because
I
I
I
can
understand
the
frustration
of
the
community
of
not
having
information.
It
feels
kind
of
loosey-goosey
in
some
ways
and
I
wanted
to
ask
these
questions
to
show
kind
of
the
timeline
that
we
will
eventually
get
more
data,
more
specific
data
that
can
be
looked
at
and
answer
the
questions
that
the
community
has
I
hate
to
say
be
patient,
but
we
are
moving
in
that
direction.
So
I
just
that's,
wanted
to
ask
those
questions
and
then
about
ranked
Choice
voting
too
I.
AE
AE
I.
Think
that
the
reason
why
that's
important
is
because,
if
we
need
to
know
whether
we
can
actually
do
it
and
if
the
answer
is
a
hard,
no,
then
that's
a
different
process
of
that
different
discussion.
If
the
answer
is
yes,
then
that's
a
discussion
too,
so
that
that
information
is
really
helpful
with
the
with
the
other
Council
members
agree
that
that
information
would
be
helpful.
Yes,
please,
okay,
great
and
then
one
last
question:
where
is
it
one
more?
AE
Oh,
during
the
during
the
community
forums,
did
you
hear
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
process
I
understand
because
it
is
a
little
frustrating
not
to
have
the
information
but
I'm
wondering
if
you've
heard
any
information
from
the
community
about
the
pros
and
cons
of
like
different
kinds
of
districting
options
and
interest
in
the
community
to
make
sure
that
that
you
know
I,
don't
know
just
comments
about
the
district
itself,
or
has
it
been
almost
completely
about
the
process?
At
this
point,
I.
AE
Thank
you
so
I
would
love
to
hear.
First
of
all,
I
would
love
to
hear
from
everybody
in
the
community
what
you
think
in
general.
That's
always
true,
but
in
this
particular
situation,
I
would
love
to
hear
your
thoughts
about
the
the
value
of
districting.
What
districting
means
to
you
from
a
like
fairness
and
practical
perspective,
as
well
just
to
have
an
understanding
of
what
your
view
of
what
the
districting
would
even
look
like
in
our
city.
We
did
it
so
that
would
be
helpful.
AE
I
have
heard
from
the
community
some
folks
who
do
want
to
go
to
districts,
so
I
just
want
to
hear
that
complete
circle
of
of
information.
I
think
all
the
council
members
really
benefit
from
that.
So
please
continue
to
send
in
your
your
thoughts,
and
this
conversation
is
will
be
continued.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor.
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
tried
to
parse
it
out.
So
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
so,
unfortunately,
I
don't
think
that
the
slides
are
marked
with
a
number.
So,
but
if
it's
possible
to
pull
up
the
slide,
that's
titled
the
phase,
one
districting
process.
It
includes
the
timeline
spring
summer
and
fall
of
2023
2024.,
and
while
staff
is
doing
that,
Mr
City
attorney
I
have
a
question
for
you.
AC
It
would
appear
that
at
the
June
14th
public
hearings,
that'd
be
public
hearing
number
three
and
again
the
July
18th
public
hearing,
that's
public
hearing
number
four.
We
will
be
reviewing
maps
that
are
submitted
by
members
of
the
community
at
large
I'm.
All
for
that
I
think
it's
a
great
idea,
but
my
question
is:
are
we
only
going
to
be
using
maps
that
are
submitted
by
community
members?
Is
Staff
going
to
be
presenting
some
Alternatives
based
on
their
assessment
of
the
data?
AC
M
Yeah
I
agree
with
that.
Hopefully
we'll
have
a
whole
bunch
of
maps
from
the
public.
We,
as
your
Consultants,
will
also
add
some
maps
to
the
mix.
Our
goal
is
really
to
fill
in
the
blanks
you
know
we'll
have
all
these
Maps
submitted.
If
there
are
comments
that
have
come
in
or
just
looking
at
the
criteria,
clear
options
that
we
see
that
aren't
before
you,
we
want
to
get
them
before
you
and
so
we'll
be
adding
maps
to
that
mix.
But
resin
should
look
at
it
as
us.
M
Just
trying
to
give
you
a
complete
picture
of
options.
Ours
are
no
better
than
anyone
else's
and
then
and
and
of
course
you
know,
council
members-
that's
right
now,
you're
free
to
do
it
until
the
second
hearing
council
members
shouldn't
be
drawing
Maps
because
of
the
process
that
the
statute
set
up.
But
now
this
hearing
is
done.
If
you
wish
to
submit
a
map,
you
may
the
other
piece
of
it
is
a
big
piece
that
happens
typically
at
that.
M
Third
hearing
is
a
lot
of
hey
I,
like
the
west
side
of
this
map
and
the
east
side
of
that
map.
You
know,
and
then,
if
the
council
agrees
at
that
directing
NDC
to
put
those
two
maps
together,
so
most
of
the
maps
end
up
being
maps
that
we
technically
Drew
but
they're
the
ideas
from
the
residents
that
you
all
are
directing
us
to
implement.
So
there
is
a
whole
give
and
take
that
the
maps
that
you
have
for
that
third
hearing
are
by
no
means
the
Final
maps.
L
Mr
Mayor,
if
I,
could
just
ask
one
clarifying
question,
because
it's
quite
possible
that
of
the
universe
of
maps
that
come
in,
they
may
not
meet
satisfy
all
of
the
criteria.
Some
of
them
may
be
off
by
population
percentage
or
there
may
be
variations
that
can
actually
maximize
the
minority
voting
group
participation.
So
my
question
just
just
follow
on
to
vice
mayor
Schultz's
question,
is:
does
NDC
help
with
the
true
up
to
make
sure
we're
meeting
all
of
the
criteria.
M
Yes,
exactly
when
the,
when
the
maps
come
in
actually
they'll
be
posted
at
least
a
week
before
the
the
third
hearing
for
everyone
to
see,
but
if
they're,
not
population
balanced
or
if
they
raise
a
voting
rights
concern
or
if
they
raise
up
your
map
sector
for
concern,
a
statutory
requirement,
they
may
be
violating
it'll
have
a
big
stamp
on
it
saying
this.
Has
this
concern
or
not
population
balanced
on
it,
so
that
helps
people?
M
We
don't
bury
them,
because
we
still
want
residents
and
you
all
to
see
hey
someone
had
this
idea
of
an
approach
to
map,
even
if
it
didn't
work,
because
what
often
happens
is
someone's.
This
person
tried
the
idea,
X
and
didn't
come
out
balance,
but
someone
else
had
the
same
idea
just
spent
a
little
more
time
and
got
it
balanced,
so
you'll
still
see
them,
but
yes,
there'll,
be
big
stamp
and
they'll
be
isolated
as
not
complying
with
the
legal
criteria.
M
A
C
M
Right,
it's
not
our
opinion,
but
we
will
also
take
the
criteria,
took
the
state
criteria
and
say
you
know
hey.
If
there's
a
map
that
would
meet
the
criteria
and
possibly
meet
so-and-so,
said
at
the
meeting
we'll
draw
that
what
the
line
I
often
use
is
we
try
to
give
you
a
wide
range
of
options
and
if
one
of
our
Maps
doesn't
get
you
all
to
say,
you
guys
are
nuts.
Well,
then
we
haven't,
given
you
a
wide
enough
range
of
options.
Okay,
so
we're
it's
not
NDC
is
the
expert
tears
Matt.
C
C
M
M
AC
AC
Ahead,
thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
Mr
Johnson.
This
is
probably
directed
at
you,
you
don't
we
don't
need
to
pull
up
the
slide
but
I'm
looking
at
this
sheet.
It
has
a
series
of
questions
that
are
purportedly
posed
to
folks
asking.
How
would
you
define
your
neighborhood?
What
do
what
defines
your
community?
My
question
is:
I
want
to
be
really
specific
because
I'm
hearing
from
some
residents
tonight
here
in
person
and
those
who've
called
in
that
the
First
Community
Forum,
they
didn't
have
a
chance
to
to
give
that
feedback.
M
So
that's
the
goal
of
the
two
hearings.
I
think
the
way
I
look
at
it
is
the
the
forums,
the
first
round
forums.
This
isn't
true
the
second
round,
but
the
first
round
forums.
The
goal
is
to
educate
the
residents
Empower
them
on
how
to
use
the
tools.
It's
not
to
create
a
record
of
comments
and
guidance.
That's
the
goal
of
the
council
hearings.
We
want
you
to
hear
from
them
directly
and
so
that's
the
difference.
There
residents
were
free
to
share
their
thoughts.
M
I
wasn't
at
the
first
one,
someone
for
my
team
was
at
the
third
one.
They
did
announce
the
one
minute
limit,
but
no
one
was
held
to
it.
A
number
of
the
commenters
went
four
in
five
minutes,
which
was
great
so
so
yes,
the
goal
was
not
to
capture
that
input
at
those
forums.
The
goal
was
to
show
the
residents
the
tools
that
they
could
use
to
share
those
thoughts
and
then
for
them
to
come
here
and
tell
you
directly
or
write
to
you
directly.
Thank.
L
I'll
respond
to
that
everyone
did
get
an
opportunity
to
to
speak,
including
demanding
that
one
of
my
staff,
who
wasn't
feeling
well
and
wearing
a
mask
to
protect
the
public
was
was
told
to
take
his
mask
off.
It
actually
got
pretty
ugly.
That's
when
my
chief
assistant
kind
of
helped
the
meeting
land
people
made
a
lot
of
comments.
L
We
heard
from
some
people
who
were
in
favor
of
districts
who
left
they
didn't
feel
that
they
could
share
their
thoughts
so
that
first
one
you
know
I'll
take
responsibility
for
that
when
we
were
trying
to
not
make
it
a
debate
that
would
be
better
served
in
front
of
the
council.
We
tried
to
make
it
about
the
mapping
and
that
one
didn't
go
as
well
as
we
had
hoped.
L
The
second
two
everyone
was
given
an
opportunity
to
speak.
Every
single
question
was
answered
the
the
online
meeting.
We
opened
it
up
multiple
times
and
we
asked
questions
until
there
were
no
more
on
the
one
on
Saturday.
We
went
over
time
and
we
stayed
up
in
front
to
answer
questions
until
everyone
left,
so
we
will
be
at
I
will
be
at
the
remaining
workshops
and
everyone
will
have
an
opportunity
to
speak.
AC
AC
There
was
a
representation
that,
as
of
April
11th,
five
draft
draft
maps
have
been
received
and
then
separately
there
were
10
areas
drawn
in
the
draw
your
neighborhood
tool.
My
question
is:
are
these
15
distinct
people
I
want
to
know
how
many
individual
contributors
that
we
have
do?
We
have,
for
example,
one
individual
who
may
have
an
agenda?
We
don't
know
submitting
multiple
Maps
or
are
these
15
different
people.
AC
M
I
do
know
the
five
maps
come
from
five
different
people.
We
know
who
the
those
came
from
I
mean
I'm.
Assuming
all
the
names
provided
were
real
names.
We
don't
check
that
the
the
10
people
that
choose
the
neighbor
or
the
10
neighborhoods
we
have
I,
don't
know
that
is
in
the
records,
but
I
just
haven't
looked
but
and
just
to
prepare
the
public
too.
For
the
process
we
do
with
the
drop.
Maps
is
they'll
all
get
a
name
map
101
102
103.,
who
drew
them
is
public
record.
M
AC
AE
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
have
two
questions.
I
forgot
to
ask,
and
it's
related
to
this
so
I
noticed
that
there's
a
gap
between
the
11
today's
hearing
and
the
June
2nd
submission
deadline
and
several
of
the
commenters
did
talk
about
Outreach
and
reaching
I
know
it's
difficult
to
reach.
108
000
people
make
sure
everybody
knows,
but
I'm
just
curious.
L
The
list
of
all
of
the
Outreach
activities
performed
by
the
city
so
far
is
attached
to
the
agenda
item
this
evening.
We
believe
it
was
fairly
exhausted.
One
off
exhaustive
one,
obvious
thing:
that's
not
on
the
list
because
we
just
hadn't
gotten
to
it
yet
is
a
bwp
bill
mailer,
which
goes
to
every
utility
payer,
that's
scheduled
in
the
coming
weeks.
Obviously
we
have
to
hit
a
cycle
with
bwp
to
get
it
into
the
company
that
does
the
mailings.
L
L
We
have
based
upon
recommendation
from
one
of
the
speakers
on
Saturday
increased
Outreach
to
the
senior
centers
to
assist
people
that
may
not
be
as
conversant
with
the
computer,
but
many
people
did
ask
for
our
the
paper
maps
that
Doug
handed
out
at
the
meeting
so
that
they
can
hand
draw
and
do
the
math.
So
we're
going
to
continue
with
what
we
believe
to
be
a
very
robust
last
newspaper
ads
social
media
ads
the
banner
on
the
city's
web
page.
L
AE
M
AE
AE
Submitted
those
four
those
that
packet-
and
that
is
in
the
public
record
right.
So
if
folks
want
to
take
a
look
at
that,
there
is
a
lot
of
information
in
there
if
folks
want
to
use
that
as
well.
But
then
public
record
can
be
found
for
this
public
hearing
on
the
minutes
when
it's
posted
right
on
the
website.
So.
G
C
M
A
M
M
M
C
C
L
Well,
once
you've
made
a
decision
to
go
to
districts,
a
decision
to
undo
districts
is
going
to
be
a
difficult
decision
to
to
redo,
particularly
when
you've
solicited
the
community
to
identify
their
communities
of
interest,
and
you
found
a
way
if,
in
fact,
we
found
a
way
to
increase
voter
influence,
then
to
go
back
and
undo.
That
could
be
very
difficult
proposition.
But
in
terms
of
timing,
we've
heard
that
that
case
the
Supreme
Court
has
indicated.
They
may
hear
oral
argument
this
summer
and
then
a
decision
could
be.
L
You
know
ready,
you
know,
maybe
by
August,
maybe
as
late
as
October,
it's
hard
to
say.
Sometimes
we're
surprised
by
Swift
decisions,
but
those
issues
are
not
directly
on
point
for
Burbank.
In
other
words,
the
court
could
send
the
case
back
to
the
Appellate
Court
for
further
rehearing.
It
may
not
be
something
that
immediately
solves
the
legal
issue
presented
in
Burbank,
so
I
wouldn't
encourage
you
to
wait
for
something
with
the
expectation
that
it's
going
to
somehow
solve
the
problem,
because
there
are
issues
aren't
identical
to
burbank's
issues.
L
M
C
L
That
would
be
December,
okay,
the
December
time
frame.
Well,
we
have
to
file
I
think
in
December,
so
we'd
have
to
be
firming
up
language
October
November,
which
is
why
we
have
that
window.
Okay,
we've
got
scheduling,
we've
got
holidays,
but
there's
a
minimum
just
about
90
days
that
you
have
to
adopt
your
ordinance
and
resolution
with
the
fully
baked
language,
impartial
analysis.
Everything
to.
AD
If
we
decide
at
that
time
that
Council
chooses
to
go
to
the
March
election,
we
don't
then
adopt
an
ordinance,
a
num
public
hearing
number
five.
Then
we
direct
staff
that
we
want
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
I
just
want
to
clarify
to.
When
exactly
do
we
then
give
directions
to
staff
that
we
want
to
have
it
on
the
ballot
and
we're
not
going
to
adopt
an
ordinance.
AD
L
Ballot
yeah,
but
it
wouldn't
have
to
be
as
formal
an
action,
but
that's
just
your
action.
We
wouldn't
have
it.
It's
not
likely
we're
not
going
to
have
an
ordinance
ready
for
you
on
the
night.
We
think
you're
going
to
adopt
districts
to
put
something
on
the
ballot
for
March,
not
likely,
because
this
is
the
scheduler
on
until
we
get
alternative
direction
from
the
council.
L
But
if
that's
the
council's
decision,
then
we
would
work
toward
that
and
we
would
build
a
schedule
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
language
any
Charter
amendments,
impartial
analysis,
all
drafted
and
ready
to
go,
so
that
council
is
able
to
cast
a
complete
decision
on
ordinance
and
resolution
in
time
to
get
it
placed
That,
Could,
That,
Could
Happen
earlier
than
December
right.
We
don't
have
to
run
all
the
way
up
to
December
to
make
that
decision.
Many
cases
we've
been
on
a
different
clock,
like
with
the
airport.
L
We
barely
finished
the
sequel
in
time
to
then
turn
around
a
decision
to
put
it
on
the
ballot.
You
know
for
the
November
in
this
case,
if
the
council
doesn't
adopt
an
ordinance
well,
regardless
of
whether
it
goes
to
districts.
If
it
goes
to
districts,
we
still
have
phase
two
to
do
and
we
need
to
get
that
work
done
and
put
that
on
the
whatever
the
council
decides
on
the
ballot
for
March
24..
L
Would
like
the
council
to
make
a
decision
at
the
fourth
hearing,
whether
it's
going
to
introduce
an
ordinance
and
if
it
introduce
an
ordinance
I,
would
like
the
council.
I
would
prefer
that
the
council
adopt
that
ordinance
and
that's
based
upon
my
legal
recommendations
to
you
as
to
any
alternate
recommendation.
I
would
have
to
wait
for
I.
Don't
have
a
preference
for
the
alternative,
because
I'm
advising
you
on
legal
risk
and
what
I
believe
your
options
are.
C
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
Mr,
City
attorney
I
actually
want
to
follow
up
on
the
line
of
questioning
from
council
member
Mullins.
We've
been
operating
under
the
assumption
that
there
are
only
two
choices
that
is
to
adopt,
introduce
an
ordinance
to
go
to
districts
or
some
alternative.
But
would
you
agree
that
there
is
a
third
option
that
is
to
take
no
action.
AC
L
You
can
only
do
that
at
the
pace
you're
comfortable
and
that
process
has
a
current
deadline,
so
I
could
be
wrong,
but
I
I
wouldn't
anticipate
that
we
would
be
interrupted
in
the
middle
of
this
process,
while
we're
trying
to
bring
it
to
conclusion
at
the
point
where
we're
no
longer
bringing
it
to
a
conclusion.
I
could
see
that
risk
of
litigation
increasing
for
sure
thank.
M
C
AC
I
actually
wanted
to
begin
by
publicly
thanking
Mr
slossman.
After
the
last
hearing
we
had
a
a
bit
of
a
there
was
some
confusion
about
who
I
was
directing
that
comment
to
and
I
thank
Mr
schlossman
for
reaching
out
and
for
offering
an
apology
and
I
think
that
that
takes.
It
takes
a
lot
of
somebody
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
publicly,
sir
I
do
want
to
give
just
a
little
bit
of
context.
AC
The
term
bully
is
personal
to
me,
as
it's
probably
a
personal
to
a
lot
of
you
who
are
kids
at
one
time
or
who
have
kids
or
nieces
or
nephews
or
people
that
you
know.
I
was
bullied
pretty
horribly
as
a
kid,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
bullying
leaves
I,
won't,
say
scars,
but
certainly
bruises,
but
I'll
also
tell
you
that
you'll
learn
pretty
quickly
to
spot
a
bully
from
a
mile
away.
AC
I
bring
that
up,
because
this
conversation
about
moving
to
districts
could
have
been
had
in
a
much,
in
my
opinion,
better
more
transparent,
more
publicly
engaging
way.
It
wasn't
doing
it.
This
particular
way.
Well,
absolutely
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
None
of
these
comments
are
directed
to
Mr
slossman
they're,
directed
to
the
entire
public,
for
consideration
and
to
the
person
or
persons
that
are
behind
the
suit
that
are
probably
watching
live
right
now
doing
it
in
this
manner
was
an
intentional
choice.
AC
AC
My
motivation
is
solely
one
thing,
and
that
is
to
do
the
right
thing
for
the
community
as
I
walk
into
this
process.
I
am
absolutely
absolutely
open
to
the
prospects
that
districts
might
be
the
very
best
outcome
for
our
community
and
I'm
open
to
the
fact
that
they
may
not,
and
absolutely
nothing
will
deter
me
from
making
what
I
believe
is
the
right
decision.
This
for
this
community
and
I'll
just
say,
as
with
all
Council
action,
there's
a
very
good
outcome
that
will
be
sued
regardless
of
the
outcome
here
and
I.
AC
Think
that
if
you
start
to
make
your
decision
based
on
the
fear
of
what
lawsuit
might
come
or
what
the
outcome
of
that
lawsuit
might
be,
you
begin
to
stop
doing
your
job
now
as
to
the
rest
of
the
public
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
things
I
think
we
heard
a
lot
tonight
that
there
is
some
concern
about
public
engagement.
It
sounds
like,
after
the
first
community
meeting
there
was
a
we
put.
The
took
put
the
training
wheels
back
on.
We
figured
some
things
out.
AC
I
think
that
it's
it's
getting
a
lot
better.
My
my
advice,
my
direction
to
staff
would
just
be
to
make
sure
that
we're
I
I
love
to
hear
that
we're
willing
to
go
over
time
that
we're
willing
to
let
folks
share
their
opinions
with
all
of
us.
One
minute
just
isn't
a
lot
of
time
to
really
talk
about
such
an
important
issue
to
our
community.
So
to
the
extent
that
staff
can
continue
to
accommodate
three
minutes.
AC
Five
minutes
I
want
to
gather
to
councilmember
takahashi's
point
every
bit
of
public
input
that
we
can
in
this
process
and
to
Mr
element's
comment
earlier.
I
share
the
concern
that
this
room
has
impact,
and
that
tells
me
that
our
public
Outreach
and
engagement
efforts
are
not
operating
on
full
capacity.
AC
This
room
should
be
packed
and
the
fact
that
we
had
under
100
people
at
these
Community
meetings
combined
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
fact
that
we
did
tells
me
that
look
we're
not
going
to
get
all
108
000
burbankers
out
at
a
hearing
but
less
than
100
is
an
indication
to
me
that
we're
not
reaching
everybody.
So
that's
my
invitation
to
staff
to
the
consultant.
We've
got
to
find
a
way
to
connect
with
these
people.
AC
You
know
mailers
are
great,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
that.
We
also
have
that
amazing
Burbank
311
app.
A
lot
of
people
are
using
smartphones
these
days.
Let's
do
a
push
notification:
let's
do
what
we
can
using
the
technology
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
people
know
this
is
happening
and
they
have
a
chance
to
weigh
in.
AC
AC
They
just
need
to
get
the
tools
in
place,
and
so
the
last
thing
I'll
just
say
is
to
you
know
to
Mr
Brick's
comment:
are
we
throwing
in
the
towel?
Absolutely
not
Mr,
Mayor
I
think
the
community
should
know
that
we're
going
to
walk
into
this
with
an
open,
mind,
I,
don't
know
what
the
outcome
is
going
to
be,
but
I'll
tell
you,
I'm
gonna,
listen
to
you,
I'm
gonna,
look
at
the
data
and
No
One's
Gonna
intimidate
me.
Thank
you.
AD
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
and
thank
you
vice
mayor
as
well,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
for
everyone
who's
present
here
or
watching
the
council
meeting
to
know
that
I
I
believe
I'm
going
to
speak
on
behalf
of
council,
and
forgive
me
if
I
do
that.
I
think
none
of
us
sitting
up
here
really
wanted
to
walk
down
that
road
or
explore
that
option,
and
this
didn't
even
start
with
the
current
Council
started.
The
process
started
with
the
including
the
former
council
members
as
well.
AD
I
I,
have
to
say,
am
I
really
happy
to
see.
It
am
I
pleased
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
even
having
this
discussion
tonight.
Absolutely
not
I
know
there
are
certain
members
in
the
community
who
prefer
to
have
districts
and
they
have
a
different
opinion
from
what's
being
voiced
tonight
and
what
the
council
has
voiced
and
I
respect
that
as
well
voting
is
a
choice
in
in
different
individuals,
have
different
opinions
of
what
how
we
should
vote
and
and
the
process
that
we
should.
AD
You
know,
conduct
a
voting
I
think
we're
not
getting
into
too
much
information
about
how
I
really
personally
feel
about
it.
So
the
City
attorney
does
not
think
I'm
I'm,
you
know
talking
too
much
about
it,
but
I
I
could
tell
you
that
I
do
want
to
make
sure
the
public
knows
and
informed
about.
What's
going
on,
we
do
need
to
do
a
better
job
in
Outreach.
AD
I
know
the
library
has
the
information,
but
it
should
be
at
every
front
counter
in
the
city
that
Maps
should
be
present
everywhere
in
the
city,
where
we're
putting
in
the
public
in
the
Forefront
of
their
eyes,
to
see
it
and
and
just
to
be
aware
of
the
dates
that
we
have.
We
I
know
the
City
attorney
mentioned
that
we're
utilizing
our
paper,
the
leader
we
can
take
ads
in
the
leader.
AD
My
bearbank.com
put
those
schedules
in
there
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
aware
talk
to
all
the
organizations,
the
rotaries
kiwanas
Burbank,
coordinating
Council
the
ANC,
whatever
organization
that
we
have
out
there,
we
should
make
sure
to
email
it
to
them,
so
they
can
post
it
on
their
website
and
share
it
with
their
members.
The
more
that
we
talk
about
it,
the
more
that
we
spread
the
word
about
what
we're
going
through
in
the
public
hearing
is
going
to
be
very
beneficial
for
all
of
us.
AD
I
personally
would
like
to
see
if
this
is
the
route
that
we're
going
and
the
decision
from
the
entire
Council
feeling
that
this
is
we,
we
gonna
walk
down
that
road.
That
I
would
personally
encourage
our
Council
to
get
to.
You
know
at
least,
to
come
up
to
an
agreement
that
exploring
the
option
that
we
go
to
the
voters
and
have
them
make
that
decision.
AD
This
will
definitely
inform
the
voters,
what's
going
to
happen
in
November
of
2024,
and
this
would
help
I
think
some
of
the
cases
that
were
presented
to
us
tonight
about
come.
November
2024
people
are
going
to
say
what
am
I
voting
for
what's
happening.
If
we
put
it
on
the
ballot
at
least
they've
had
an
opportunity
to
see
it
and
have
their
voice
their
opinion.
AD
We
always
involved
our
community
in
the
decisions
that
we
make
and
I
think
I
would
be
not
doing
my
job
as
a
representing
the
community
if
I
did
not
allow
them
to
have
a
say
to
what
is
going
to
happen
in
November
2024
election,
so
I
just
put
it
out
there.
So
Council
can
start
thinking
about
it.
I
know
we
didn't
talk
about
the
City
attorney
said
we
don't
have
to
make
that
decision
tonight.
Perhaps
this
is
something
we
can
explore
and
come
back
and
think
about.
AD
If
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't,
and
this
might
go
away
and
they
don't
come
back
to
present
us
with
another
letter
and
if
they
do
present
us
with
another
letter
we
have
another
meeting
and
we
make
a
decision,
perhaps
pass
an
ordinance,
perhaps
not,
and
at
the
time
that
we
can
actually
make
a
decision
to
how
we
will
move
forward
but
again
I'm
just
throwing
it
out
there
think
about
it,
and
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
H
Yeah
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
being
here
also,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
asking
my
questions
so
that
I
didn't
have
to
I,
really
appreciate
all
of
you
taking
those
thoughtful
questions.
I'm
sure
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
and
in
the
questions
that
the
community
had
that
we
have
and
as
some
thoughts
for
in
feedback
for
staff
I
think
like
the
community
shared,
the
Outreach
needs
a
little
bit
of
work
and
maybe
we're
doing
everything
we
can.
H
Maybe
it's
time
we
think
outside
of
the
box
a
little
bit
if
you
haven't
tried,
YouTube,
ads,
YouTube
ads
are
great
and
and
internally
I
think
we
we
discussed,
making
use
of
our
water
and
power
bill
right,
but
let's
make
use
of
all
our
departments.
I
know
it's
at
the
library,
let's
make
sure
it's
at
parks
and
rec
I.
H
Who
came
out
here
and
shared
their
thoughts
and
those
who
shared
them
with
it,
with
us,
virtually
and
in
many
other
ways,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
councilmember
Takahashi,
for
illustrating
exactly
why
we
are
going
in
this
order,
which
does
feel
a
little
bit
cart
before
the
horse.
I
know
the
threat
of
current
litigation
makes
it
a
frustrating
process.
H
AE
Thank
you,
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
points
that
were
already
made
by
my
colleagues,
and
I
too,
am
not
thrilled
with
this
process.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
cities
have
gone
through
this,
as
was
mentioned
before
I'm,
a
member
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
and
have
been
for
many
years
and
have
watched
this
happen
in
other
cities
in
various
ways,
and
it's
it's
just.
AE
AE
Please
continue
to
be
engaged
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
next
hearing,
because
I
think
that's
when
really
that
that's
when
we're
gonna
just
get
the
you
know,
get
the
meat
of
the
information,
so
I
hope
that
you'll
stay
engaged
until
then
and
come
back
and
encourage
all
your
neighbors
knock
on
doors,
be
be
the
change
in
the
community
and
help
us
all
work
together
to
figure
out
the
best
way
for
our
city.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
I
would
love
to
put
a
flyer
out
to
the
school
district
they're
doing
districts,
two,
let's
see
if
we
can
pay
for
a
flyer
and
they
can
distribute
it
Us
and
Them.
Half
sheet
kind
of
thing
goes
to
every
kid
maybe
goes
to
the
PTA,
because
I
know
they're
doing
one
too
so
they're
gonna
have
to
do
Outreach,
so,
let's
I
don't
know,
maybe
save
some
costs
to
get
everybody
involved.
That'd
be
great.
C
C
C
I
would
be
very
interested
moving
forward.
Looking
at
these
District
options
and
seeing
the
number
of
people
that
you
would
have
to
cut
down
on
spending
and
door
knocking
so
for
me,
I'm
going
in
this
with
an
open,
mind,
I'm
going
in
this
with
and
understanding
that
it's
not
just
what
is
on
the
maps.
It's
not
just
what's
presented
on
paper,
but
the
actuality
of
campaigns
of
Elections.
What
happens
on
the
ground?
C
That
is
going
to
be
my
concern.
So
I
know
in
2020,
in
2022,
I
watched
all
the
debates.
I
watched
all
the
campaigns.
I
read
everybody's
websites,
everybody's
mailers.
Nobody
was
talking
about
districts.
This
is
not
something
we
ran
on.
Nobody
up
here
said
I'm
gonna,
get
on
city
council,
so
I
can
Implement
districts,
that's
not
what
we
were
elected
for.
C
So
this
is
it's
a
very
odd
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in
I.
Think
every
single
one
of
us
is
going
to
have
a
very
careful
eye
moving
forward.
So
just
know
that
know
that
this
is
a
note
in
file.
Thank
you,
Mr
Johnson,
thank
you,
Mr,
City,
attorney
and
and
the
staff
and
for
putting
this
all
together.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out.
There'll,
be
plenty
more
opportunities
to
speak.
I
appreciate
your
time.
C
Let's
go,
let's
just
get
through
it,
yeah
all
right,
now's,
the
time
for
general
public
comment
for
members
of
the
public
who
are
here
in
person
in
which
to
speak.
Please
present
a
yellow,
Pompa
comic
card,
if
you're
at
home-
and
you
want
to
call
in
now-
is
the
time
818-238-3335,
Mr,
slausman,
you're
up
first
again,
followed
by
Cynthia
Liva.
O
Well,
I
came
here
tonight
to
talk
about
all
the
mismanagement
and
waste
over
at
the
bwp,
but
I'm
going
to
put
a
pin
in
that
and
get
back
to
that
another
time.
I
support,
districting,
I,
hope,
there'll,
be
no
settlement
and
no
extension
and
I'll
tell
you
right
now.
If
I
get
a
chance
to
talk
for
a
judge,
I
will
and
I
hope
I
can
be
the
next
person
to
if
you
settle
with
these
guys
I'm
first
in
line
to
go
for
districting
again
and
if
you
all
want
to
give
me
about
10
minutes.
O
I'll
tell
you
my
reasoning
in
detail.
Okay,
item
K2
on
the
agenda,
the
parking
deal
that
you're
going
to
privatize
our
parking
tickets
and
whatnot
I
want
due
process
for
people
who
get
tickets
and
want
to
appeal.
I.
Don't
want
the
adjudicator
of
that
ticket
to
be
an
employee
of
this
parking
outfit
that
you're
going
to
give
it
to
I,
want
it
to
be
public
in
a
courtroom.
O
O
Look
I
was
looking
today
over
on
my
burbank.com.
I
saw
a
little
blurb
on
the
side.
It
says,
join
us
for
burgers
and
Burbank,
with
City
Council,
Members,
Suzette,
Mullins
and
Nick
Schultz,
and
when
you
dig
into
this
thing,
what's
going
on,
it's
really
troubling
and
the
both
of
you
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
why
it's
one
thing
to
go
to
a
to
have
a
meet
and
greet
at
a
coffee
house
where
I
don't
have
to
go
and
buy
a
cup
of
coffee.
O
At
this
deal
you
got
to
spend
35
dollars
to
get
a
ticket,
get
a
hamburger,
french
fries
and
a
soft
drink
and
a
seat
at
the
table,
and
that's
very
troubling
to
me,
because
I
want
to
see
to
the
table
right
here.
I
want
to
I
want
to
you
folks,
to
listen
to
me
and
every
other
citizen
without
paying
35
dollars,
something's
wrong
with
that
equation.
Some
of
the
things
you're
going
to
talk
about
homeless
resources,
rent
control,
Public
Safety,
how
many
homeless
people
are
gonna?
O
O
This
blurb
goes
on
to
say
this
is
not
a
place
to
yell.
This
is
a
quote.
This
is
not
in
capital
letters
not
a
place
to
yell
at
the
city
council.
Member
for
grievances.
Well,
that's
kind
of
anti-free
speech.
You
all
want,
pat
on
the
Pats
on
the
back.
Is
that
what
this
is
about?
You
don't
want
anything
contentious
if
I
don't
believe
in
all
these
things
that
you're
putting
forward
I
you
somebody
can't
come
and
talk
about
it.
Shame
on
you
who's!
O
Putting
this
thing
on
the
diversity,
voter,
PAC
and
they're
raising
money,
and
who
are
these
people
they're
not
from
Burbank
I'll.
Tell
you
that,
according
to
their
disclosures
they're
from
Glendale
Rosemead,
Los,
Angeles
and
Diamond
Bar
and
they're
all
registered
Republicans,
and
who
do
they
do
business
with
America's
Christian
Credit
Union?
Have
you
ever
heard
of
them?
I
haven't
either,
but
that's
who
they
do
their
business
with
and
if
you
go
to
their
website,
they're,
quoting
Isaiah,
Mark,
Hebrews
and
colicians,
and
this
meeting
the
two
of
you:
what
did
you
get
into?
AF
AF
I
mean
it's
very
different
from
what
we
saw
here
tonight,
but
it's
also
a
little
microcosm
when
we're
trying
to
get
out
into
the
community
and
tell
all
the
wonderful
things
Services
activities
that
are
here
for
seniors
and
it's
hard
to
do,
especially
with
covid
and
now
that
covid
is
over.
It's
my
hope
that
the
Ambassador
committee
that
was
started
when
I
was
on
the
on
the
board.
The
first
time
will
be
reinstated
and
that
we
can
go
out
and
talk
to
churches
and
temples
and
places
where
our
seniors
live.
AF
AF
I
when
I
spoke
to
or
talked
with,
Kim
feed
this
morning,
it's
being
revised,
it
has
wonderful
information
and
not
just
for
seniors.
Perhaps
you
have
a
parent
or
a
grandparent,
and
you
don't
know
how
to
introduce
them
to
people
how
to
find
interesting
activities
how
to
ride
the
bus,
how
to
go
to
a
rock-a-hula
event
which
we've
had
there's
just
so
many
things
and
I
would
would
be
my
pleasure
to
represent
the
seniors
and
I'm
asking
for
your
vote
and,
lastly,
currently
there's
only
one
woman
on
the
council:
I
mean
on
the
board.
AF
AG
Good
evening,
mayor
Anthony,
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Jack
artan
I'm,
a
District
representative
with
the
office
of
state
senator
Anthony,
portentino
Senator
portentino
would
like
to
thank
the
council
and
the
Burbank
Community
for
the
support
in
commemorating
the
108th
anniversary
of
the
Armenian
genocide
in
declaring
April
18th
as
a
holocaust,
Remembrance
Day.
Without
your
efforts,
this
occurrence
would
not
be
possible.
It
is
more
important
than
ever
that
as
a
community,
we
continue
to
combat
Injustice
and
promote
kindness
and
greater
inclusivity.
AG
AG
The
direct
survivors
of
the
genocide
and
The
Descendants
have
made
tremendous
contributions
to
a
great
state
and
we
thank
them
for
their
leadership
and
collaborative
partnership.
The
senator
is
truly
proud
to
represent
a
community
that
collaboratively
supports
the
diverse
cultures
that
make
up
the
city
of
Glendale.
AH
Good
evening,
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
councilman,
this
is
essentially
what
I
presented
or
handed
out
I'm,
sorry
last
Monday
or
last
week,
because
I
printed
the
wrong
document,
which
you'll
find
if
you
had
a
chance
to
study
it.
I've
added
the
last
paragraph
on
the
summary
and
the
addendum
is
complete,
but
to
let
you
go
over
it
here
is.
This
is
an
example
of
six
years.
The
reason
I
chose
six
years
is
because
it
started
with
a
bathroom
fan
here.
AH
I
thought
would
be
an
interesting
example
of
cost
increases
because
it's
the
same
fan
from
the
same
manufacturer
from
the
fame,
vendor,
etc,
etc.
The
only
time
the
only
difference
is
time
and
I
was
shocked.
It
went
up
50.5
percent
over
a
six
year
period,
then
I
realized
that
I
could
get
some
other
services
and
equipment
that
I
could
give
a
six-year
span
over
because
I
do
have
Quicken
and
I
can
do
that.
So
I
went
and
I
checked
cpiu
to
begin
with
super
price
index
for
urban
and
I
drilled
down
into
the
primary
residence.
AH
The
increase
over
that
time
has
been
27.2
percent.
You
can
see
here
my
rents
have
gone
up
well,
they
used
to
go
up
10.5
and
5.3
percent
now
they're
up
at
21
and
15.7
percent,
because
it
did
increase
the
rents
back
in
August.
But
you
can
see
by
looking
all
these
expenses
that
they're
over
20
30
percent.
AH
So
the
point
is
that
cpiu
has
gone
up
20,
but
the
cost
of
maintaining
the
property
has
gone
up
over
30
percent,
but
the
income
is
only
around
20
increase
over
six
years.
So
you
we're
given
an
example
by
many
people
in
the
first
meeting
about
just
off
the
cuff
of
expenses
have
gone
off
I'm,
giving
you
some
hard
data
here.
AH
We're
talking
about
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
here,
which
I
get
very
much
better
interest
rate
on
that,
and
this
doesn't
take
into
account
the
cost
of
property
taxes,
Hazard
Insurance,
long-term
maintenance,
personal
labor,
Etc
I'm
running
out
of
time
here.
But
the
addendum
is
because
my
wife
came
to
me
her
father.
My
father-in-law
is
an
assisted
living
facility
in
Ventura
and
when
he
gets
his
fourth
in
this
year,
increase
in
rent
over
10
months,
he'll
have
gone
up.
AH
AH
C
G
C
S
S
I
was
mugged
at
gunpoint
on
in
my
own
neighborhood,
which
you
know
I
was
fortunately
unharmed,
but
you
know
it
was
a
great
shock
to
know
that
it
was
done
by
teenagers
who
should
have
been
at
school
and
even
as
a
veteran
who
served
in
Iraq
I
never
had
never
had
a
weapon
used
on
me.
So
it's
a
great
irony
that
here
in
America
I,
can
no
longer
work
history
without
having
night
without
having
that
concern,
and
you
know
as
we're
looking
across
the
country
at
these
mass
shootings
taking
place.
S
There's
a
new
generation,
On
The
Rise
that
voice
track
was
attempted
to
be
silenced,
I
think
in
the
last
week,
but
thankfully
you
know
these,
you
know
one
of
the
representatives
in
Tennessee
was
reinstated,
and
but
it
just
goes
to
show
that
this
generation
there's
a
new
generation
On
The
Rise.
That
would
not
be
silenced
when
it
comes
to
this
issue,
particularly
gun
violence.
Thank
you.
C
D
AC
Thank
you,
Mr,
Mayor
and
sorry
to
steal
your
line
there.
No
thank
you,
everyone
for
coming
out
or
calling
in
tonight
Mr
Mr
Bax.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
comments.
Every
meeting
and
while
I
can't
speak
to
those
I
do
take
in
what
you
have
to
say.
So
thank
you
for
coming,
sir
Miss
Leva.
Thank
you
for
being
here
we'll
we'll
we'll
get
to
your
agenda
item
shortly.
AC
I
appreciate
that
I
think
the
representative
from
Senator
portentino's
office
is
left
but
appreciate
that
Mr
Dunwoody.
Thank
you
for
your
advocacy
and
great
video
on
Instagram
earlier
this
week.
Talking
about
this
and
other
issues,
the
last
thing
I'll
just
mention
mystery
slossman
about
the
this
event.
This
diversity,
voter
pack,
coincidentally
earlier
today,
around
midday
I,
actually
informed
the
organizer
that
I
would
not
be
attending
and
based
on
what
you're
sharing
with
me
tonight,
which
is
kind
of
coming
as
a
surprise
and
I'm
hearing
for
the
first
time.
C
AD
AD
We're
always
happy
to
be
present
and
speak
to
any
group
here
in
Burbank
and
talk
about
what's
happening
in
Burbank.
So
I
do
appreciate
you
bringing
it
up
to
our
attention
and,
as
the
vice
mayor
said,
he
had
a
conflict
and
canceled
today.
So
we
discussed
it
this
afternoon
and
we'll
have
to
find
out
what
is
going
to
happen
with
that
that
meeting
and
how
it's
going
to
take
place.

AD
I
I
see
the
chief
coming
up.
Thank
you
and
I'm
I'm
I
I'm.
Looking
forward
for
this
to
happen,
I
think
it's
gonna
help
a
lot
of
residents
who
have
been
complaining
about
the
parking
situation.
The
one
thing
I
do
want
to
ask
if
you
have
a
kind
of
an
Outreach
plan
to
how
we
gonna
start
informing
the
community
that
we're
going
to
be
back
in
full
force,
because
I
I
think
I
have
feelings
which
and
then
can
end
up
happening.
AD
AI
So,
actually,
in
partnership
with
the
company
that
we
chose,
the
great
thing
is,
is
leveraging
their
ability
and
their
resources,
so
they
actually
have
a
great
Outreach
plan
as
well.
So
during
the
implementation
process,
that's
one
of
the
discussion
points.
I
know
that
we
want
to
have
this
happen
rather
quickly.
We
don't
want
to
delay
any
bit
of
this
process
so
the
first
we
are
actually
planning
to
meet
with
them,
if
approved
by
council.
AI
We
don't
want
to
have
the
the
difference
where
somebody
visualizes
them
in
uniform
and
says:
who
are
they
and
why
are
they
here
in
Burbank?
It's
actually.
We
want
them
to
grow
accustomed
quickly
and
understand
who
this
company
is,
how
they
operate
and
that
they
hold
the
values
of
the
City
of
Burbank
and
the
community
of
Burbank.
So
that's
all
part
of
that
outreach
program.
That's
going
to
happen
quickly
and
that's
going
to
be
anything
from.
AI
You
know
we
we
have
social,
you
know,
I
know
you
all
know:
Sergeant
fekity
who's,
our
Pio
with
all
of
our
social
media
sources,
and
we
want
to
hit
several
platforms
on
this,
so
it
could
be
anything
from
mellers
which
we've
done
with
bwp
before
we've
reached
out
to
the
schools.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
different
Avenues
to
do
Outreach
with
this.
D
AE
AJ
Evening
on
behalf
of
the
the
chief
and
myself
in
the
department,
Sergeant
Brent,
fekity
public
information
officer
of
the
department,
the
video
is
on
our
website.
So
if
you
go
to
our
PD
website
and
you
go
to
professional
accountability,
which
is
a
running
scroll
across
the
top,
you
scroll
down
to
department
policies,
and
it's
also
where
the
annual
report
can
be
found
as
a
clickable
link
just
below.
That
is
the
link
to
the
city's
website,
where
the
video
can
be
found.
C
AC
L
AC
C
AI
Absolutely
and
I
wanted
to
address
that
for
Mr,
sloshman
I
know
he
that
was
a
point
of
contention
or
concern
for
him
just
so
you
know
this
is
a
pilot,
we're
considering
this
a
pilot
program
with
potential
extensions
to
this.
We
want
to
do
a
real
assessment.
What
we
didn't
want
to
do
is
a
quick
conversion
so
that
there's
some
confusion
about
how
things
are
going
to
operate
in
The
View
California
vehicle
code.
It
outlines
how
you
can
test
a
parking
citation.
It's
a
three-step
process.
AI
You
have
an
internal
hearing,
then
you
have
an
external
hearing
with
a
qualified
hearing,
commissioner
and
your
third
option.
If
you're
unsatisfied
with
the
results
is,
you
can
take
it
to
the
county
courthouse
which
they
use
downtown
at
the
Stanley
Moss
courthouse
for
all
parking
matters,
we
are
going
to
keep
that
internal,
so
the
adjudication
is
still
going
to
be
done
by
us,
the
enforcement
side,
obviously
we're
going
to
have
through
the
third
party
company.
We
are
going
to
do
the
internal
adjudication
so.
C
AI

All
right,
we
have
two
reports
to
council
this
evening.

the
presentation

I've
been
going
to
the
landlord
tenant,
I've
been
going
to
the
last
number
of
bwp
meetings
and
they're
really
clueless
about
the
brown
Act
and
I
asked
the
Cynthia
tonight.
O
If,
if
she
has
brown
act,
training
and
she
does
at
the
at
the
landlord
tenant
commission
meeting
I
talked
about
subpoena
power,
and
everybody
argued
with
me
that
we
don't
have
it
and
when
I
asked
the
City
attorney
about
it,
even
he
wasn't
sure
if
your
boards
and
commissions
have
it
all
of
you
have
subpoena
power.
Were
you
all
aware
of
that
that
you
can
compel
people
to
come
here
and
you
can
compel
people
to
produce
documents
and
all
of
your
boards
and
commissions
can?
O
But
staff
has
never
told
them
that
and
they
fight
they
fight
me.
When
I
say
you
have
this
power,
you
can
compel
resolution
you
can
do
you
can
do
things
your
boards
and
commissions
ask
for
more
power,
but
they
already
have
it
and
they
don't
know
it
and
your
staff
won't
allow
them
to
use
it.
Your
staff,
member
at
the
landlord
tenant
commission
was
dissuading
them
says
this.
The
chief
of
police,
by
the
way,
did
we
need
seven
police
officers
here
for
that.
O
One
item
think
about
that
one
for
a
minute
over
at
the
last
week,
at
the
bwp
meeting
before
I
even
started
to
speak
now,
keep
in
mind
I'm
the
only
speaker
there
who
goes
there.
You
get
three
minutes
and
I
was
admonished
by
one
of
your
commissioners
that
they're
busy
that
night
that
you
know
I
shouldn't
take
up
their
time
when
I
started
to
speak,
one
of
your
Commissioners
Tenenbaum
got
up
and
walked
out.
She
does
not
like
criticism
and
guess
what
you
get
when
I
come
to
the
podium,
a
little
bit
of
criticism.
O
So
it's
important
that
I
think
that
all
of
your
appointees
should
go
through
mandatory
training.
You
should
have
videos
on
what
to
expect
some
of
these
folks
ask
to
be
appointed
and
they
don't
realize
that
there's
actually
some
more
work
involved
to
be
done,
and
they
don't
realize
that
and
they're
short-changing
at
the
landlord
tenant
commission.
That's
a
fact
so
I
hope
you'll
give
that
some
thought
and
please
appoint
this
one
person.
It
really
comes
down
to
who
you
know
too,
when
on
these
appointees.
C
G
C
AK
AK
All
right,
I'm
here
tonight,
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
the
Burbank
Civic
Center
project.
Since
our
last
project
presentation
in
September,
2022
we've
continued
to
develop
the
plans
and
tonight
we're
going
to
provide
a
review
of
the
overall
project
and
Analysis
that
were
presented
last
fall
to
make
sure
our
new
council
members
have
complete
information.
Along
with
that,
we'll
update
you
on
several
areas
of
continued
research,
analysis
and
engagement
well,
I'll
be
giving
the
primary
presentation.
AK
I
already
went
over
there
all
right.
The
Burbank
Civic
Center
project
is
a
transformative
opportunity
to
meet
city
council
goals
and
Community
needs,
while
providing
a
while
building
a
thriving,
downtown
neighborhood
in
the
sustainable
and
fiscally
responsible
way.
It
incorporates
several
public
elements:
a
replacement,
Central
Library
placement
office,
space
for
the
administrative
Services,
building
new,
open
space
and
parking.
In
addition,
the
downtown
neighborhood
and
city
council
goals
are
supported
by
a
private
component
encompassing
approximately
475
units
of
affordable
and
Workforce
housing,
plus
a
small
amount
of
commercial
space
and
parking
for
those
uses.
AK
We're
just
a
few
weeks
away
from
the
60th
anniversary
of
the
current
Central
Library,
the
city
has
more
than
30
years
of
documentation
about
the
library's,
need
to
be
modernized
and
expanded
in
order
to
support
the
community's
ability
to
learn
and
reach
their
potential.
That
element
serves
as
the
anchor
for
this
project.
AK
The
Civic
Center
project
also
brings
together
several
other
last
elements
from
previous
plans,
including
a
planned
development
of
the
civic
center
block
from
the
early
2000s
of
which
only
one
element.
The
community
services
building
was
previously
accomplished
in
this
slide,
which
shows
just
one
possible
configuration
of
the
elements
you
can
see.
The
new
65
000
square
foot
library,
with
twenty
thousand
additional
square
feet
for
the
offices
currently
in
the
ASB,
that
is
the
orange
building
at
this
size
and
in
a
modern
building.
AK
The
library
will
be
able
to
meet
the
current
and
future
needs
of
the
community
from
supporting
children
and
their
families
in
building
basic
reading
skills
to
helping
students
be
successful
through
their
educational
Journey
at
any
age.
The
building
will
expand
the
library's
ability
to
provide
support
for
burbank's
Workforce
with
basic
and
advanced
technology
and
job
training
offerings.
It
will
provide
space
to
read,
to
meet,
to
study
and
to
develop
ideas
and
Innovations
in
the
layout.
AK
In
this
conceptual
plan,
you'll
also
see
open
space
adjacent
to
the
library
building,
which
could
be
used
for
library
and
Recreation
programs
for
events
like
celebrations,
concerts
and
movies
for
vendors
and
outdoor
eating
and
reading
spaces
and
for
interactive
play
spaces
for
children,
parking
will
be
primarily
underground.
Preserving
the
street
level
for
human
uses
and
the
housing
is
set
on
Housing
Opportunity
sites
that
have
been
established
in
the
housing
element
update
to
the
2035
General
plan,
which
the
city
council
approved
last
fall
again.
AK
This
is
just
one
possible
arrangement
of
the
elements,
but
it
confirms
that
the
identified
lots
have
the
capacity
for
these
uses
and
gives
a
sense
of
the
neighborhood
feel
in
August
and
September.
Last
year
you
received
two
presentations
regarding
this
project.
The
first
reviewed
the
public-private
partnership
model
and
the
second
gave
the
results
of
a
project
feasibility
analysis
that
resulted
in
the
current
proposed
elements
and
financial
modeling.
AK
The
public-private
partnership
model,
commonly
known
as
P3,
has
provided
a
mechanism
for
framing
the
Civic
Center
project
as
presented
last
August.
The
P3
model
provides
the
following
benefits:
first,
it
transfers
risk
away
from
the
city.
This
includes
construction,
related
risks,
risks
related
to
the
long-term
condition
of
the
assets
and
financial
risks.
AK
Second,
it
optimizes
costs
by
coordinating
across
the
life
cycle
of
the
buildings
from
the
earliest
project
stages.
That
basically
means
when
you're
designing
you
take
into
account
that
long-term
those
long-term
maintenance
considerations,
whereas
often
those
are
two
separate
pieces
of
a
building
project.
AK
Third,
it
creates
incentives
for
the
developer
to
build
and
maintain
the
assets
on
schedule
and
to
establish
standards.
Ensuring
the
assets
will
remain
in
good
condition
over
many
decades
and
it
leverages
public
investment
to
initiate
significant
private
development,
with
revenue
from
the
private
development,
offsetting
public
infrastructure
costs
and
it
Spurs
will
spur
additional
private
investment
in
the
area.
AK
Well,
the
exact
version
of
the
P3
to
be
applied
to
this
project
has
not
been
determined.
The
elements
of
a
P3
can
generally
be
organized
under
the
acronym
dbfom,
the
city
engages
with
a
developer,
who
usually
organizes
a
Consortium
of
partner
entities
to
support
the
project.
The
D
and
B
are
for
design
and
build
the
standard
terms.
You
would
hear
in
a
construction
project
while
being
designed,
as
I
mentioned,
the
P3
considers
the
long-term
maintenance
of
Building
Systems
and
finishes,
and
things
like
that,
avoiding
decisions
that
might
be
costly
down
the
road.
AK
The
f
is
for
financing,
which
likely
would
be
handled
privately
by
the
development
partner,
but
ultimately
could
still
fall
in
the
city's
hands.
If
that
makes
the
most
Financial
sense
at
the
time
having
the
developer
take
on
the
financing
and
debt
leaves
less
risk
for
the
city,
the
o
m
Are
for
operations
and
maintenance.
There
are
a
whole
range
of
elements
that
could
be
contracted
with
the
developer
Consortium
here,
leaving
maintenance
of
the
building
in
those
hands
for
a
30-year
contract
period.
Generally.
AK
AK
AK
This
project
also
proposes
to
incorporate
housing
along
with
the
public
assets.
The
housing
is
private
development,
but
it's
not
strictly
speaking
the
part
that
makes
this
a
P3,
although
often
for
this
type
of
Civic
infrastructure.
Housing
is
part
of
the
P3
setup.
For
example,
The
Long,
Beach,
Civic
Center,
has
been
redeveloped
over
the
past
several
years
through
a
P3.
That
project
involves
a
new
city
hall,
a
library,
PArk
Port,
headquarters,
housing
and
hotels.
AK
So
in
the
feasibility
analysis
that
we
conducted
and
reported
on
last
fall,
we
considered
several
questions.
These
included
the
balance
of
elements
within
the
space
available,
so
this
is
looking
at
things
like
Urban
Design
principles
and
the
practicalities
for
things
like
traffic
flow
and
access
to
buildings.
It
also
relates
to
the
larger
neighborhood
of
which
these
buildings
are
part.
How
would
these
new
buildings
and
spaces
relate
to
downtown
Burbank
as
a
whole,
both
the
San
Fernando
Corridor,
the
other
City
buildings
and
the
adjacent
residential
areas?
AK
AK
Those
revenue
streams
are
only
possible
with
a
private
development
component,
which
is
the
housing
which
supports
not
just
the
project
Financial
feasibility
but
City
needs
and
then
to
attract
a
development
partner.
The
analysis
had
to
consider
all
of
those
elements.
In
that
context,
a
developer
isn't,
unfortunately,
just
going
to
build
Burbank
a
library
out
of
Goodwill.
A
AK
Last
year
in
2022,
we
presented
a
figure
of
116.6
million
for
the
public
components
of
this
project.
As
you're
aware,
inflation
has
been
growing
steeply,
especially
in
the
construction
sector.
The
current
estimated
project
cost
in
2023
dollars
is
132.8
million,
reflecting
a
13.7
percent
increase
in
the
California
construction
cost
index
between
the
beginning
of
2022,
and
today,
all
of
the
cost
modeling
that
we're
doing
as
part
of
this
does
incorporate
an
account
for
inflation,
which
impacts
construction
costs
on
the
negative
side,
but
also
potential
Revenue.
AK
That's
going
to
help
fund
the
project,
and,
at
this
time,
staff
still
consider
the
project
feasible.
It's
important
to
understand.
All
of
the
numbers
are
going
to
be
shifting,
as
we
move
closer
to
the
ultimate
date
that
we
are
making
contractual
commitments
for
the
cost
of
the
project
in
advance
of
city
council
decisions
to
potentially
move
forward
with
the
procurement
stage
of
the
project
which
are
anticipated.
This
fall.
A
complete
financial
analysis
will
be
revised
to
ensure
that
the
city
council
has
accurate
information
to
back
up
your
decisions
as
a
broad
overview
of
the
project.
AK
Financing.
The
payments
would
take
the
form
of
a
single
Milestone
payment
at
the
completion
of
construction
of
the
public
assets
plus
annual
payments
over
this
30-year
period
to
the
development
partner
to
pay
back
their
construction
costs.
The
operations
and
maintenance
they'll
provide
and
Equity
payments,
and
you
can
think
of
that
very
much
like
a
down
payment
and
then
mortgage
payments,
the
annual
cost
to
the
city
in
each
year
of
that
30-year
period
is
expected
to
be
about
7.8
million
dollars,
which
is
also
a
number
that
will
continue
to
evolve.
AK
This
will
primarily
be
funded
by
using
a
portion
of
the
municipal
infrastructure
fund,
known
as
fund
534,
not
to
exceed
25
percent
of
its
annual
revenues.
This
preserves
fund
534
dollars
for
the
many
other
City
infrastructure
needs,
while
completing
several
major
outstanding
projects
in
a
single
effort.
AK
In
addition,
staff
propose
development
of
housing
on
publicly
owned
land,
creating
an
ongoing
Revenue
stream
through
ground
leases.
That
would
last
several
decades
beyond
the
project
repayment
period.
This
creates
a
new
unrestricted
Revenue
stream
for
the
city
that
will
grow
as
real
estate
assessments.
Grow
staff
are
also
actively
seeking
grants
to
offset
the
project
costs
in
September,
the
city
council
created
a
new
Reserve
account
and
move
10
million
dollars
into
it
to
serve
as
matching
funds
for
potential
grants.
AK
The
primary
Grant
on
our
radar
at
this
time
is
an
infrastructure
Grant
through
the
California
State
Library
Building
forward
opportunity
in
the
first
round
of
that
funding
last
year,
Burma
was
not
successful,
as
the
funds
were
restricted
almost
exclusively
to
Renovations.
Instead
of
new
construction
as
an
example
of
new
construction,
they
did
fund.
Basically,
basically,
your
library
had
to
have
burned
down
or
been
destroyed
in
a
flood,
so
it
was
a
very
high
standard.
AK
The
new
round
is
currently
open
with
with
a
slightly
different
set
of
priorities,
and
it
will
be
more
open
to
a
project
of
our
type
and
we
will
be
submitting
an
application
for
that
next
month,
with
notification
notification
expected
in
Fall
2023
all
right,
so
that
was
quite
a
bit
and
that
was
just
bringing
you
up
to
speed
with
last
fall.
So
let
me
move
on
now
to
sharing
what's
been
going
on
since
September.
AK
First
of
all,
we
initiated
a
public
engagement
phase
with
the
project.
This
started
off
with
a
question
about
ideas
for
the
new
library
that
was
part
of
a
larger
Library
survey
conducted
in
Fall
2022
that
received
about
1600
responses,
so
lots
of
good
input
there.
In
December,
we
held
three
public
meetings,
two
were
in
person
and
one
was
online
and
there
are
about
35
members
of
the
public
who
attended
that
all
told
at
these
meetings.
AK
The
audience
heard
a
brief
overview
of
the
project
and
then
were
able
to
visit
stations
to
ask
questions,
provide
input
on
the
topics
of
the
library,
open
space,
housing,
parking
and
sustainability
and
as
well.
We
just
had
an
open
category
for
anything
else
that
people
wanted
to
bring
up.
We've
also
created
a
project
website,
Burbank
civiccenter.com,
where
a
survey
continues
to
be
open
with
questions
from
the
public
meetings.
That
also
has
links
to
these
Council
updates
and
informational
studies,
and
people
can
sign
up
for
an
email
list
to
hear
project
updates.
AK
Since
December
we've
spoken
with
representatives
from
The,
Parks,
Board,
youth
board
senior
board,
sustainable
Burbank,
commission
and
Transportation
Commission,
and
later
this
week,
I'll
be
speaking
to
the
Heritage
commission
and
then
the
Planning
Commission
in
May.
We've
also
shared
the
project
overview
with
the
downtown
Burbank
property-based
improvement,
district
or
pbid,
the
boys
and
girls
club
and
the
YMCA,
as
well
as
the
Burbank
advisory
Council
on
disabilities,
just
to
make
sure
we're
Gathering,
really
broad
input
and
all
of
that
information
is
being
is
being
compiled.
Along
with
the
general
public
input.
AK
Each
group
has
provided
some
really
great
insight
into
considerations
to
guide
staff
work
as
planning
moves
forward.
The
public
engagement
is
really
going
to
be
an
ongoing
process
that
will
continue
in
the
following
months,
and
the
next
round
of
more
formal
Community
meetings
will
come
when
we
get
to
the
design
phase
of
the
project.
AK
Behind
the
scenes,
staff
from
nearly
every
city
Department
have
been
involved
in
several
work
streams,
while
the
project
is
not
yet
being
designed.
Staff
have
been
working
with
Architects
on,
what's
called
space
programming,
to
identify
broad
building,
layouts
and
space
needs,
especially
with
the
library
and
the
administrative
Services
building
office
spaces
being
in
a
shared
space.
So
we
have
to
think
about
things
like
opportunities
for
efficiencies
in
areas
like
conference
and
training
rooms
that
all
the
staff
from
the
three
departments
can
share.
AK
Providing
ample
meeting
rooms
of
various
sizes
for
public
use
within
the
library
continues
to
be
a
priority,
and
this
task
also
involved
consideration
of
the
open
space
and
how
it
might
be
used
in
the
cases
of
both
the
library
and
the
open
space.
The
analysis
conducted
here
will
support
technical
specifications
in
future
procurement
documents
to
make
sure
it's
clear
to
developers
what
the
city's
core
requirements
are,
while
allowing
developers
flexibility
to
be
creative
in
responding
to
those
requirements.
AK
Another
significant
area
of
work
has
involved
project
sustainability
and
resilient
schools,
which
are
considered
for
each
element,
as
well
as
the
project
as
a
whole.
There
are
a
number
of
sustainability
tracking
systems
available
for
construction
of
new
buildings.
Burbank
has
previously
sought
Leed
certification.
As
with
the
community
services
building.
AK
The
tracking
systems
bring
some
broad
industry
recognition,
but,
of
course,
sustainability
is
important
in
and
of
itself
drawing
on
established,
City
resources
and
goals.
Staff
have
begun
development
of
a
project,
sustainability
strategy.
This
incorporates
requirements
and
goals
from
state
and
local
building
codes,
as
well
as
the
current
greenhouse
gas
reduction
plan.
AK
Generally,
the
staff
recommendation
is
to
aim
higher
than
the
legal
Baseline
of
requirements
and
so
that
we
can
make
this
project
an
example
of
what's
possible
on
a
sustainability
front.
We
also,
of
course,
though,
need
to
take
into
consideration
the
cost
benefit
analysis
of
the
sustainability
considerations
and
then
I
want
to
talk
about
several
planning
considerations
that
intersect
with
the
project.
First
off
historical
considerations
that
come
up
in
two
areas:
first,
we're
in
City
Hall,
which
is
a
nationally
registered
historic
building.
AK
AK
These
features
will
be
considered
as
the
project
description
as
refined
and
potential
project
alternatives
are
identified
with
a
developer.
Another
area
of
research
and
Analysis
has
been
how
the
Surplus
Land
Act
relates
to
this
project.
The
Surplus,
Land,
Act
or
SLA
is
a
state
law
from
2019
that
requires
public
agencies
to
carry
out
a
process
to
offer
Surplus
property
for
the
development
of
affordable
housing
before
the
property
can
be
used
for
other
purposes.
AK
AK
Depending
on
how
the
project
proceeds,
the
private
development
components
may
require
the
city
to
follow
the
SLA
process,
so
this
will
be
incorporated
as
a
possibility
into
project
timelines
in
order
to
ensure
compliance
with
state
law
and
then,
finally,
as
you
heard
a
few
weeks
ago,
the
downtown
Burbank
Tod
specific
plan
is
making
progress.
This
year,
this
plan
considers
changes
to
land
use
designations,
it
establishes
objective
development
standards
to
streamline
development
of
Housing
and
it
considers
infrastructure
impacts
of
new
housing
in
the
specific
plan
area.
AK
The
infrastructure
analysis
is
significant
to
the
Civic
Center
project,
because
the
Civic
Center
project
involves
housing.
It
will
create
increased
increased
needs
for
water
power
and
Sewer
capacity
with
up
to
9537
units
coming
into
the
whole
downtown
area
under
the
downtown
plan.
Those
impacts
are
not
unique
to
the
Civic
Center
project,
so
they're
best
considered
as
a
part
of
the
whole
and
the
downtown
plan
will
also
be
looking
at
impacts
to
parking
and
traffic
of
this
new
development.
AK
The
downtown
plan
contains
a
program
eir
or
environmental
impact
report
which
analyzes
all
of
this
information
having
this
complete
for
the
whole
area
should
minimize
any
additional
review
that
would
be
required
for
the
Civic
Center
project
itself
under
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act
commonly
known
as
sequa
as
noted.
The
downtown
plan
also
changes
land
use
designations.
The
sites
identified
as
potential
sites
for
housing
within
the
Civic
Center
project
are
not
currently
zoned
for
housing.
AK
The
Civic
Center
project
will
proceed
on
a
timeline
that
has
been
aligned
with
the
downtown
specific
plan
timeline
to
ensure
the
critical
milestones
and
approvals
within
that
plan
have
been
achieved.
Laying
the
path
for
the
Civic
Center
to
proceed,
So
based
on
input
from
city
council
tonight
and
continued
public
engagement
staff
will
continue
to
refine
the
analyzes
that
we've
described
in
alignment
with
the
downtown
specific
plan
schedule.
We
anticipate
returning
to
City
Council
in
Fall
2023,
with
a
fully
updated
Financial
feasibility
analysis
and
a
recommendation
to
initiate
the
procurement
stage
of
the
project.
AK
The
procurement
will
be
multi-stage
and
will
continue
through
the
next
few
years,
with
additional
opportunities
for
public
input.
Once
a
preferred
development
partner
is
selected
and
begins
design
as
part
of
the
contract
negotiations,
we're
still
hopefully
on
track
for
the
public
assets
to
open
around
2027..
AK
A
modern
Central,
Library
and
modern
office
space
for
the
finance
and
Management
Services
departments
will
improve
the
service
offerings
to
all
the
residents
of
Burbank,
an
up-to-date
library
with
natural
light
and
supports
for
multiple
uses.
Plus
the
new
open
space
will
improve
quality
of
life.
The
project
will
support
Economic
Development,
not
just
through
bringing
people
to
live
in
and
visit
downtown
Burbank,
but
through
Library,
Workforce
and
Entrepreneurship
services.
AK
The
project
will
add
several
hundred
units
of
both
affordable
and
Workforce
housing,
helping
the
city
meet
its
housing
commitments
and
the
project
will
connect
more
users
with
adjacent
Transit
development.
That's
coming
down
the
line
supporting
a
last
car
dependent,
Burbank
and
finally,
the
sustainability
and
resilience
will
be
incorporated
into
every
aspect
of
the
project.
AK
O
You
know
some
time
ago
that
caller,
who
called
earlier
that
former
mayor
David
Gordon,
he
taught
he
talked
about
adding
another
floor
on
the
community
services
building.
This
is
before
you
were
here,
and
you
know
they
laughed
at
him.
He
saw
this.
He
had
the
vision
to
know
that
we
would
need
it.
But
here
we
are
I'll.
Tell
you
this
project
is
epic
and
really
the
changes
that
are
coming
on
here
in
Burbank
I.
O
Don't
think
any
of
us
can
grasp
what's
going
to
be
happening
in
really
just
a
few
years,
a
short
time
you're
talking
about
Outreach
for
this
districting
deal.
There
should
be
the
equal
effort
of
out
Outreach
for
this.
This
is
really
an
epic
deal
here
too
475
units
here
and
in
you
know
these
buildings
all
on
all
these
different
blocks.
This
is
going
to
be
a
a
big
deal.
O
You
know
it
abuts,
the
Parochial
School
somebody
told
me
I
forget
who
it
was
that
there
is
a
deed
restriction
that
if
you
abandon
the
library,
thoughtland
reverts
back
to
the
Parochial
School,
so
I
would
like
a
definitive
answer.
If
that's
true
or
not,
that's
a
big
deal,
you're
making
all
kinds
of
plans,
and
it
could
be
that
you
don't
own
the
land
they're,
just
letting
us
use
it
for
a
library,
okay,
whatever
whatever
developer
deals,
you
make
don't
give
away
the
farm.
O
O
One,
no,
it
was
a
hundred
dollars
hundred
dollars
yeah
it
was
a
hundred
dollars.
So
don't
don't
don't
do
that.
You
make
a
deal
that
the
taxpayers
benefit.
Don't
be
so
desperate
that
you
give
away
the
store
for
these
things.
I,
don't
like
it
that
you're
talking
about
spending
taxpayers
money
I
want
it
where
we
make
money
off
of
it.
Where
we
get
a
free
library.
That's
how
I'll
support
it.
O
I
want
the
library
and
I
want.
You
know
more
money
coming
our
way
through
the
land
through
a
land.
Lease
I
want
to
always
own
the
land
forever.
My
kids,
my
grandkids
forever.
It's
a
long
time,
Above
All,
Above,
All,
Things,
no
bond,
No
parcel
tax.
Don't
re,
don't
even
think
about
increasing
the
taxes
of
the
residents
to
do
this,
don't
reach
over
to
the
bwp
and
grab
more
money
from
them.
C
AK
L
C
And
then
the
534
fund,
we
don't
have
to
go
to
a
bond
like
we're
not
going
to
the
taxpayers
for
this,
that
that's
your
measure,
P
money
and
we're
trying
to
limit
that
to
less
than
25
of
that
for
this
okay,
so
we
we
already
went
to
the
taxpayers
yeah.
Okay,
great!
Thank
you
any
well.
I'll
start
with
this.
It
is
only
a
note
and
file,
however,
we're
doing
pretty
good
on
time
and
I
believe
this
is
the
first
opportunity.
The
three
of
you
have
had.
A
AD
AD
No
I
I
was
going
to
say,
I've
heard
it
probably
more
than
that's
right.
You
can
imagine
sitting
here
in
as
the
city
clerk,
but
I
also
want
to
applaud
Elizabeth
Miss
Goldman
for
attending
all
the
boards
and
commission
meetings
and
I,
as
as
it
liaison
to
some
of
those
boards
and
commissions.
I've,
heard
her
presentation.
She
did
have
good
questions
from
the
groups
and
this
is
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
encourage
the
members
of
boards
and
commissions.
They
ask
the
right
questions
and
get
engaged.
AD
You
can
never
do
enough
community
outreach,
so
I
do
agree
with
you,
Mr
sauceman,
that
we
we
have
to
do
as
many
meetings
or
Community
outreaches.
We
can
possibly
do
I
noticed
in
December,
so
we
did
three
in
December,
2022
I,
don't
know.
If
we're
planning
to
do
some
more
meetings
in
2023
or
before
the
last
hurray.
We
need
to
go
out
there
and
have
maybe
one
last
meeting
just
for
those
that
missed
it
in
December.
So
maybe
you
can
help
us
out.
Let
us
know
what.
AE
Excited
big,
you
know
the
library
we
lived
at
the
library,
you
know
when
the
kids
were
small
and
I
volunteered
there
for
many
many
years
and
the
kids
volunteered
there.
So
I'm
super
excited
about
this,
but
I
want
to
point
out
one
particular
slide.
That
I
was
just
like
my
heart
was
beating
of
Happiness
the
sustainability
and
strategy
slide.
AE
AE
AK
C
H
So
I
was
there.
I
was
actually
I
believe
it
was
my
last
meeting
as
a
board
member
when
we
talked
about
some
of
the
feedback
from
the
surveys
and
all
that
and
we
we
really
went
into
detail
and
I,
think
it
was
great
that
we
got
a
lot
of
public
response
and
got
to
hear
from
a
lot
of
the
community
members
a
lot
of
parents,
a
lot
of
students.
C
Yeah,
this
is
an
interesting
it's
it's
it's
Community
Building
like
look
like.
We
do
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
things
happening
in
the
city
right
now,
but
this
is
like
a
huge
epic
kind
of,
and
it's
not
even
formed.
Yet
it's
just
like
we're
just
thinking
about
it
anyway,
there's
other
stuff,
Mr,
President,
epic,.
AC
That's
the
word
of
the
night
I
like
it.
No
questions,
Miss,
Goldman,
great
job,
just
a
couple,
just
quick
points
of
feedback
I
agree
with
the
commenter.
When
we
look
at
the
financial
feasibility
plan,
I
definitely
want
to
see
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
it
without
going
back
to
the
taxpayers
and
I
think
we
have
the
funds
to
get
it
done
in
terms
of
housing.
So
I
was
looking
at
that
slide
and
I
was
reading
the
report
just
the
perspective
of
one
council
member.
AC
You
know
we
hear
a
lot
of
complaints
and
rightfully
so
about
the
impact
of
State
legislation
locally
and
so
I
love
where
you're
going
with
trying
to
offer
a
mix
of
affordable
housing
as
a
component
along
with
Workforce
housing.
My
just
two
cents
would
be
by
the
time
this
Project's
coming
online.
We're
probably
going
to
have
an
idea
of
where
we're
still
falling
short
and
meeting
those
targets,
it's
always
easier
to
add
market
rate
housing
or
moderate
income
housing.
AC
Those
more
affordable
housing
levels
are
really
hard
to
build
or
even
extract
concessions
out
of
the
developer.
So
we
may
want
to
look
at
that,
because
if
we
can
meet
our
targets,
guess
what
Senate
Bill
35
doesn't
apply
in
Burbank.
So,
let's
just
add
the
housing
we
need,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
would
just
say
is
in
terms
of
an
opportunity
to
generate
revenue
from
the
project.
You
know
and
I'm
sure
this
is
something
you're
already
thinking
about,
but
in
terms
of
a
new
library
to
me
personally,
what
goes
hand
in
hand.
AC
Is
a
nice
place
to
get
a
cup
of
coffee
or
a
cup
of
tea
on
the
very
rare
rainy
day
in
Southern
California,
but
I
think
that
there
is
going
to
be
baked
in
opportunities
to
get
a
vendor
in
here
and
maybe
get
a
little
bit
of
Revenue
off
it.
That
way
too.
That
and
then
I
would
also
just
say:
encouraging
a
partnership
with
busd
I
love
the
the
Smart
Lab.
AC
You
know,
but
just
more
opportunities
like
that:
more
opportunities
to
incorporate
job
training
and
and
really
expanding
The
public's
understanding
of
what
a
library
is
books
and
e-books
are
great,
but
it
also
includes
a
lot
of
tactical
training
and
sorry
tactile.
Training
is
what
I
mean
to
say
and
like
technology
I,
think
that
there
is
there's
an
opportunity
to
explain
to
think
outside
the
box
a
little
bit
so
but
I'm
excited
about
the
project.
C
AE
Mayor
to
that
point,
and
thank
you,
Mr
vice
mayor
for
saying
that,
because
Miss
Goldman,
what
was
the
very
first
thing
that
we
talked
about
when
we
were
talking
about
this
idea:
rooftop
Cafe,
right,
yeah,
maybe
not
rooftop,
but
we're
on
the
same
wavelength
here.
So
it's
been
from
the
very
beginning,
I.
C
AE
I
had
one
Mr,
Mayor
and
and
Thursday
April
6
I
attended
the
skag
energy
and
environment
committee
meeting
and
at
that
meeting
we
went
over
these
the
regional
water
conservation
and
planning
Five-Year
Plan,
and
that
was
really
exciting.
They
did
projections
out
for
well
actually
more
than
five
years
actually
I
think
projections
out
on
water
needs
and
what
we
can
do
for
conserving
water
and
I
passed
that
information
along
to
a
city
manager
and
also
to
the
bwp.
C
D
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
So,
as
you
all
know,
I
am
our
representative
to
the
Arroyo
Verdugo
community's
joint
Power,
Authority
and
I
just
wanted
to
report
out
that
we
had
at
least
my
first
in-person
meeting
April
6th
the
key
takeaway
was
we
had
a
presentation
from
Metro
micro
about
the
success
and
the
challenges
of
that
program
and
its
potential
future.
My
point
in
advocating
to
Metro
was
that
I
would
love
to
get
our
hands
on
that
data,
especially
as
it
applies
in
Burbank
and
as
we're
looking
at
the
future
of
Burbank
bus
routes.
AC
C
Excellent
on
Wednesday
at
I
attended
the
domestic
violence
task
force.
In
fact
a
member
of
the
public
showed
up
and
we
were
able
to
help
her
with
some
very
specific
issues
that
usually
doesn't
happen
at
that
meeting,
but
I'm
glad
we
were
there
and
able
to
help.
The
next
morning,
I
attended
skagg
on
their
the
transportation
committee
and
the
the
general
meeting
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
votes,
a
lot
of
moving
stuff
forward.
It
was
mostly
just
appointing
leadership.
Everyone
mostly
got
reelected
so.
A
H
A
AC
I
will
not,
however,
I
think
I
will
be
representing
all
of
us
at
the
valley
economic
Alliance
Gala,
so
I'll
try
to
do
the
best.
I
can
a
couple
recent
meetings,
one
with
the
mayor,
one
with
a
councilmember
Perez
with
various
constituents
who
had
questions
or
had
ideas
to
bring
the
other
thing
I
would
just
mention,
is
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
Burbank
Peace
Officers
Association
today,
just
about
I'm
making
the
rounds
and
I
want
to
get
a
sense
from
from
their
point
of
view
of
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
issues.
C
All
right,
thank
you.
If
I
can
get
a
babysitter
I'm
going
to
be
joining
you
that
night,
so
we'll
see
it's
contingent
upon
me
getting
somebody
I
know
a
couple
of
us
attended
the
coffee
with
Caroline
our
Senator
mengevar
had
some
coffee
on
Saturday.
That
was
a
fun
event.
A
couple
folks
showed
up
there.
C
I
attended
the
youth
art
expo
Gallery,
showing
over
at
George
Isaiah
Park.
That
was
interesting,
a
lot
of
good
stuff
from
our
K-12
folks.
Here
in
Burbank
Saturday
morning
there
was
an
Armenian
Genocide,
transgenerational
effects
and
healing
event.
This
was
really
interesting.
It
talked
about
generational
trauma
and
how
you
break
the
cycle,
and
then
there
was
a
ribbon
cutting
later
that
day.
C
C
AE
Think
that
you
know
one
of
the
concerns
we
have
in
our
communities
is
mental
health,
and
this
is
a
very
specific
concern
of
mental
health
is
transgenerational
trauma
that
is
brought
down
from
generation
to
generation
from
an
original
trauma,
but
The
Armenian
Community
is
still
experiencing
trauma.
So
it's
it's
almost
it's
doubled
and
to
have
to
know
that
this
is
available
for
the
community.
Every
year
is
great
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
put
a
plug
for
the
location
of
this
event,
which
is
there
meaning
community
honor.
AE
You
don't
have
to
be
Armenian
to
participate
and
they
have
a
lot
of
programs
there
that
are
great
for
the
community.
So
for
folks
in
the
community
who
are
looking
for
something
to
you
know
to
get
involved
in,
that's
actually
really
great
it's
over
by
Ikea.
So
it's
a
really
great
Community
Center
to
look
into
as
well.
C
AC
C
Okay,
we
now
adjourn
the
meeting
to
Tuesday
April
25th
for
a
regular
meeting
in
the
council
chamber,
maybe

meeting
online
or
on
television
and
be
able
to
provide
public
comment
in
person
at
the
reports
by

in
directly
leaving

e-comment

the
website
or

city
council
at
citycouncil

Thank
you
all
and
good
night
have
a
safe
flight
tomorrow.
