Good
evening
welcome
to
a
joint
meeting
with
the
housing
authority
on
Tuesday
April
4th
2023
I
would
like
to
invite
Reverend
Paul
clareville
of
Westminster
Presbyterian
Church
in
Burbank
to
lead
us
in
the
invocation
this
evening.
Everyone
please
stand
and
then
remain
standing
for
the
salute
afterwards.
C
D
Pray
almighty,
God,
As,
We
Gather
here
in
this
chamber,
prepare
to
do
the
business
of
the
people.
Let
us
never
forget
the
privilege
of
standing
and
serving
in
this
as
I
like
to
refer
to
it
a
mosh
pit
of
democracy.
Let
us
all
that
hope
that
good
will
come
and
righteousness
will
reign.
We
give
thanks
for
our
city
workers,
our
firefighters,
our
police,
for
our
teachers
of
schools,
our
social
workers
and
invaluable
non-profits
for
our
workers
and
business,
and,
if
I
may,
for
our
clergy
and
for
our
congregations
and
finally
Lord.
D
We
give
thanks
to
these
people
on
this
diocese
who
guide
the
City
by
right
of
our
vote,
be
with
and
protect
their
families
and
let
their
conscience
be
a
reminder
of
whatever
is
true:
whatever's
Noble,
whatever
is
pure
whatever's
lovely.
Whatever
is
admirable,
excellent
or
praiseworthy.
Let
their
minds
be
focused
on
that
in
your
name.
We
pray,
amen.

H
H
H
C
We
have
three
Council
presentations
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
First
is
the
presentation
of
a
proclamation
declaring
April
4th
2023
as
Warner
Brothers
day
in
the
City
of
Burbank,
and
before
I
invite
today's
guest
to
accept
this
Proclamation
we'd
like
to
play
a
video
celebrating
Warner
Brothers
100th
birthday.
Let's
see
that
video.
J
K
A
B
M
C
I
want
to
welcome
Mr
Michael
wolbrecht,
vice
president
of
public
affairs
for
Warner
Brothers
Discovery
to
join
me
at
the
podium
welcome
Mr
walbury.
Thank
you.
Come
over
here.
I
can
stand
over
here,
I'm
going
to
hand
you
this
thing
all
right,
wonderful,
video,
okay!
Here
let
me
read
this
for
you
real,
quick,
okay,
all
right!
There's
a
lot
here!
You
guys
done.
B
C
Years,
it
adds
up
all
right
yeah,
whereas
Warner
Brothers
Studios
began
when
Albert
Sam,
Harry
and
Jack
L
Warner
Incorporated
their
fledgling
movie
company
on
April,
4th
1923
and
whereas
Pioneers
in
their
own
right.
The
Warners
brought
sound
to
movies,
introduced
the
first
four-legged
star
revitalized,
the
movie
musical,
created
the
gangster
picture
era
and
produced
a
number
of
socially
significant
films
that
evoke
national
awareness
about
growing
problems
of
their
times
and
in
1927.
C
The
release
of
the
world's
first
talkie
synchronized
sound
feature
film,
The,
Jazz
Singer
set
a
character
and
tone
of
innovation
and
influence
that
would
become
synonymous
with
the
name
Warner
Brothers
and
as
Al
Jolson
foretold
in
this
Milestone
movie.
You
ain't
heard
nothing
yet
I'll
skip
to
the
end
here.
Throughout
the
first
hundred
years,
Warner
Brothers
has
been
home
of
bold
impactful
storytelling,
always
with
the
goal
to
entertain,
inform
and
Inspire
as
they
celebrate
their
Centennial
through
2023.
They
are
proud
to
continue
the
tradition
under
of
their
Founders
Mission.
C
C
This
one
there's
enough
fear
I,
can
read
this
all
all
right,
whereas
a
1991
Congress
enacted,
a
formal
Proclamation
signed
by
President
Clinton,
designating
the
second
full
week
of
April
as
National
Public
Safety
telecommunications
week
and
whereas
emergencies
can
occur
at
any
time
that
require
police
fire
or
Emergency
Medical
Services
and
when
an
emergency
occurs.
The
Prompt
response
to
police
officers,
firefighters
and
paramedics
is
critical
to
the
protection
of
life
and
preservation
of
property
and
Public.
C
Now
therefore,
I
constant
Anthony
mayor
of
the
City
of
Burbank,
do
hereby
Proclaim
this
week
of
April
9th
through
the
15th
2023
as
public
safe
telecommunicators
week
in
the
City
of
Burbank,
the
council
and
the
City
of
Burbank
honors,
the
men
and
women
whose
diligence
and
professionalism
keep
our
city
and
citizens
safe.
So
thank
you
for
me.
You
can
give
them
a
round
of
applause
again.
Q
P
That
for
many
people,
calling
9-1-1
calling
the
police
services
is
the
first
and
the
only
contact
they
ever
have
with
the
police
department
and
I'm
so
proud
of
the
first
impression
that
these
people
make
day
in
and
day
out
they
give
their
best.
They
make
me
proud,
and
they
make
me
want
to
be
here
for
another
100
years
like
Warner
Brothers.
Okay,
so
let
me
introduce
you
Sarah
manukian,
Megan,
Olson
supervisor,
Brenda,
Perez,
Orozco,
Ariella,
taramian,
Mr,
ramsian,
I'm,
so
sorry
and
Brianna
barrage
and
the
chief.
C
The
final
counts
presentation
this
evening:
a
proclamation
declaring
April
2023
as
Sexual
Assault,
Awareness
Month
and
April
26
2023
as
denim
day
in
the
City
of
Burbank
I,
would
like
to
welcome
Burbank
resident
and
zonta
Club
District
9,
lieutenant
governor
Gloria
Solace
to
accept
the
proclamation.
Let's
give
her
a
round
of
applause
for
coming.
C
Whereas
the
United
States
government
has
declared
April
as
Sexual
Assault,
Awareness,
Month
and
denim
day
has
been
declared
on
April
26
2023
in
LA
county,
and
both
events
are
intended
to
draw
attention
to
the
fact
that
sexual
violence
remains
a
serious
issue
in
our
society.
Sexual
harassment
is
part
of
a
Continuum
of
violence
whose
damaging
effects
are
felt
throughout
our
culture.
C
Sexual
Assault,
Awareness,
Month
and
denim
day
were
instituted
to
call
attention
to
misconceptions
and
misinformation
about
sexual
violence
and
the
problem
that
many
in
society
remain
disturbingly
uninformed
with
respect
to
issues
of
sexual
harassment,
assault
abuse
and
rape,
and
every
two
minutes,
someone
in
America
is
sexually
assaulted.
Approximately
one
in
five
women
are
raped
during
their
lifetime,
and
youth
under
18
account
for
about
44
percent
of
all
reported
at
least
25
percent
of
women
experience
sexual
assault
in
the
workplace
and
about
75
percent
of
harassment.
C
Now,
therefore,
I
Constantine
Anthony,
mayor
of
the
City
of
Burbank,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
April
as
Sexual
Assault
Awareness
Month
at
designate
April
26th
at
DES
as
denim
day
and
urge
everyone
to
wear
jeans
on
this
day
to
help
communicate
the
message
that
there
is
no
excuse
and
never
an
invitation
to
harass,
abuse,
assault
or
rape.
Thank
you
for
coming
up.
I
First
of
all,
most
of
that
was
my
speech
so
but
I
would
like
to
invite
council
members,
Nikki
Perez
and
Tamela
Takahashi
as
members
of
The
zonte
Club
at
Burbank
area,
to
join
us
because
they
too,
along
with
Katie
peacha
and
Chris
Ramos.
Even
though
Chris
is
with
family
service
agency,
she
also
does
the
work
that
zonta
does
we
advocate
for
women.
We
fight
against
violence
towards
women.
We
campaign
against
human
trafficking,
domestic
violence
and
Chris
and
Lori
Blake
who's.
I
The
executive
director
of
Family
Service
Agency,
are
at
the
Forefront
and,
as
was
said
in
the
proclamation,
it
happens
on
a
daily
basis
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
thing
that,
according
to
rain,
which
is
the
rape,
abuse
and
incest
national
network,
every
68
seconds
somewhere
in
America,
is
being
sexually
assaulted
and
and
every
nine
minutes
is
a
child
who
is
being
sexually
assaulted.
So
I.
L
Thank
you.
We
just
wanted
to
share
with
the
community
that
this
month,
for
the
month
of
April,
will
be
having
a
drop-in
support
groups
on
Thursday
or
Tuesday
evening.
Sorry
at
six
o'clock
starting
next
week
for
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
So
you
can
just
stop
by
the
agency
our
phone
number,
if
you'd
like
to
call
for
more
information,
is
818-845-7671
and
then,
on
denim
day
we
have
an
art
display
outside
the
building.
You're
welcome
to
come
on
drive
by
some
art
pieces.
L
C
N
Poured
out
is
to
have
a
discussion
about
Tick
Tock
videos
that
have
been
recently
posted
and
have
been
posted
for
a
period
of
time.
The
Optics
of
the
videos
are
problematic.
I
will
remind
folks
that
this
is
a
social
media
platform,
so
there
are
Liberties
that
can
be
taken
with
the
social
media
platform.
Having
said
that,
it
involves
a
couple
married
couple
that
lives
in
the
City
of
Burbank.
N
N
N
So
the
department
did
provide
a
statement,
because
the
a
couple
of
the
recent
videos
really
inflamed
a
lot
of
folks,
because
there
was
an
appearance
that
we
did
nothing.
There
was
an
appearance
that
we
were
inept.
We
the
police
department
and
that
simply
was
not
the
case
because
they're
not
getting
the
full
story.
N
There's
a
third
party
social
media
influencer
who
also
opines
on
what
we
have
done
or
what
we
haven't
done.
But
again
it's
a
one-way
conversation.
The
statement
we
made
was
a
pretty
generic
because
we
did
not
want
to
be
defensive,
insensitive
to
the
plight
of
victims
of
domestic
violence
and
also
inept.
N
So
so
let
me
share
with
you
the
processes
that
we
have
in
place
as
we
navigate
and
manage
this
couple.
I
put
them
in
the
high
utilizer
category.
There
are
other
behavioral
underpinnings
that
exacerbate
their
life
circumstances.
Enough
said
on
that,
so
anytime
there's
a
call
for
service.
Not
only
do
you
have
officers
respond,
there
will
be
a
supervisor
to
provide
supervisory
oversight
to
make
sure
that
we
manage
the
incident
properly.
N
There's
a
notification
of
the
Watch
Commander
to
doubly
ensure
that
we
are
managing
it
properly
and,
in
certain
instances,
there's
notification
to
the
connect
Command
Staff.
That
means
captains
and
myself
as
recently
as
this
weekend,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
managing
the
incident
because
of
the
history
of
both
of
them,
and
this
has
been
going
on
for
a
handful
of
years
with
social
media.
Again,
it
just
complicates
a
very
complicated
relationship.
N
In
addition
to
that,
I
have
a
detective,
that's
assigned
to
them.
That
detective
is
responsible
for
any
case
associated
with
them.
Any
allegation
any
dispute,
any
question
they
reach
out
to
that
detective.
He
receives
phone
calls
from
them.
He
receives
emails
from
them.
Talking
about
concierge
service
as
far
as
Life
Services,
that's
done,
daily
I
spoke
to
him
again
today,
and
both
of
them
are
already
reached
out
to
him.
In
addition
to
that,
the
city
attorney's
office
has
two
prosecutors
that
will
spay
pay
special
attention
to
any
allegation.
N
Their
circumstances,
so
the
collaboration
is
essential.
Moving
forward.
I'll
just
remind
folks
is
that
we
are
the
finder
of
facts.
That's
what
we
do
as
far
as
our
investigation
and
we
put
the
fact
together,
we
present
them
to
a
prosecutor
to
make
sure
or
and
let
them
determine,
if
they're,
going
to
move
forward
with
that,
the
one
thing
that
I
I
did
not
share
with
you
and
it
it's
the
obvious.
N
So
forgive
me
is
that
in
every
instance,
we
we
offer
services
so
so
Services
resources
for
them
to
help
with
their
relationship
or
make
a
decision
of
what
they're
going
to
do
with
their
relationship.
Not
only
do
we
do
it,
but
we're
mandated
by
law,
so
every
instance
that
we're
out
there
there
is
a
forms
that
they
get
from
the
City
of
Burbank
and
also
from
the
state
of
California.
We
have
solicited
their
cooperation
as
far
as
seeking
resources
to
help
them
through
their
relationship
and
it's
been
rejected.
N
N
But
we
have
to
navigate
this
process
with
professionalism.
We
have
to
preserve
the
Integrity
of
an
ongoing
investigation.
That's
ongoing
have
to
preserve
the
Dignity
of
the
involved
folks,
regardless
of
what
their
life
circumstances
are,
because
if
they're
a
victim
they're
a
victim,
so
that
is
an
organizational
priority.
C
C
N
A
couple
there's
as
far
as
resources
folks
will
sometimes
well
what
are
the
resources?
So
not
only
are
there
resources
that
we
provide
to
any
victims
and
their
local
resources.
There's
eight
agencies
that
are
available.
Six
of
the
eight
have
a
24-hour
service.
Five
of
the
six
also
are
by
bilingual
one
of
the
agencies.
N
C
N
N
C
S
You
so
much
good
evening,
mayor
Anthony,
members
of
the
city
council
at
City
staff.
My
name
is
Marisol
Espinosa
I'm,
the
public
affairs
manager
for
SoCalGas
and
I'm
here
to
just
provide
an
update.
I
know,
what's
been
really
top
of
mind
for
a
lot
of
customers
and
for
your
city
and
for
a
lot
of
your
constituents
have
been
high
gas
bills
that
have
come
in
the
last
few
months
and
so
I
wanted
to
just
give
some
information
as
to
what
happened.
S
You
know
what
some
programs
that
are
available
for
assistance
to
customers
and
really
just
here
to
share
an
update
so
as
you've
seen,
the
price
of
natural
gas
was
historically
high
in
January,
and
it
has
continued
has
gone
down
over
the
last
few
months,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
that
update.
As
of
March,
the
price
had
gone
down
approximately
80
percent
and
then
the
for
April.
It's
gone
down
even
further.
S
So
just
a
little
bit
of
additional
background
on
SoCalGas
does
not
set
the
price
for
natural
gas.
This
is
determined
by
national
and
Regional
markets.
We
buy
natural
gas
in
those
markets
on
behalf
of
our
residential
and
small
business
customers
and
the
cost
of
buying
that
gases
billed
will
no
markup
meaning
SoCalGas
does
not
profit
from
the
movement
of
gas
commodity
prices.
Some
of
the
causes
for
increases
is,
according
to
experts
at
the
U.S
Energy
Information
Administration.
S
It's
just
some
programs
and
services
that
we
have
available
that
I
wanted
to
briefly
talk
about.
The
cpuc
recently
approved
the
acceleration
of
the
California
climate
credit.
So
many
of
you
might
have
seen
a
credit
on
your
gas
bill
for
February
or
March
that
would
have
been
approximately
fifty
dollars
and
77
cents
and
I
know
that
customers
have
been
reporting
that
they
have
been
getting
that
credit,
and
we
also
have
delayed
collection
activities
on
any
overdue
accounts
and
we're
not
disconnecting
any
res
any
overdue
residential
customers
until
further
notice.
S
We
also
have
paused
all
non-residential
collection
field
activities,
effective,
February
1st.
We
are
also
continuing
to
inform
our
customers
about
several
ways
to
help
income,
qualified
customers
through
Bill
and
Home
Improvement,
Assistance
programs,
Bill
forgiveness
programs
and
the
level
pay
plan.
S
Just
some
other
programs
that
we
have
available
at
The
CARE
program
is
our
20
discount
for
income
eligible
customers.
Our
esap
is
our
Energy
savings
assistance
program
which
provides
free
energy,
Home
Improvements
for
income,
qualified
customers
and
our
medical
Baseline
program,
which
helps
eligible
customers
with
medical
conditions.
S
Additionally,
some
good
news
is
that
we
recently
announced
a
10
million
dollar
donation
in
shareholder
funding
to
provide
additional
relief
to
the
low-income
families,
seniors
and
small
restaurant
owners
that
are
impacted
by
the
unprecedented
Regional
natural
gas
market
prices
of
the
10
million.
5
million
is
going
to
go
into
the
gas
assistance
fund,
which
is
a
program
administered
by
the
United
Way,
to
provide
one-time
grants
to
income
qualified
customers
to
help
pay
their
natural
gas
bills.
This
contribution
will
help
the
gas
assistance
fund
reach
more
customers
with
larger
grants.
S
The
fueling
our
communities
program
is
a
program
that
we
actually
started
in
2020
during
the
pandemic
and
we
partnered
with
restaurants
and
food
banks
to
try
to
support
the
community
and
local
business,
and
so
we,
it
was
a
very
successful
program
across
several
counties
throughout
our
service
territory,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
announcing
the
fueling
our
communities
grants
very
soon.
We'll
definitely
keep
you
informed
on
which
organizations
are
going
to
be
participating
in
that
program.
S
Additionally,
one
million
dollars
is
going
to
go
into
the
restaurants
care
resilience
fund,
to
help
small
restaurants,
with
improvements,
upgrades
employee
retention
and
to
manage
debt
losses
and
Rising
costs,
and
so
that
grant
program
is
actually
going
to
be
the
opening
up.
April
15th
and
any
restaurant
can
apply
for
a
grant
to
help
with
any
of
these.
Any
of
these
needs
that
they
might
have
in
any
of
the,
and
all
of
this

that
people
felt
it's
been
a
really
difficult
and
challenging
time
across
the
board.
You
know
everything
the
cost
of
so
many
things
have
been
going
up,
and
so
we
just
want
to
see
how
we
can
continue
to
help
our
customers,
and
we

you've
been
hearing

You
thank

Mrs
Espinoza
I,
appreciate
you
coming
down
here
before
we
move
on
to
General
Public
comment.
I
want
to
point
out
agenda
item
four
has
been
pulled
from
tonight's
agenda.
It
will
be
considered
at
the
April
25th
council
meeting
the
time
for
general
public
comment
is
now
and
you
can
fill
out
a
yellow
public
comment
card
and
give
it
to
the
city
clerk.
J
C
T
Mr
Mayor
vice
mayor
city
council
and
for
the
benefit
of
members
of
the
community.
The
city
council
met
in
closed
session
earlier
this
evening
to
discuss
two
items
in
closed
session.
The
first
item
was
a
matter
of
existing
litigation
pursuant
to
government
code,
section
54,
956.9
D1.
The
case
is
additional
National
Teva,
Allergan,
CVS,
Walgreens
and
Walmart
opioid
settlements.
T
The
case
is
mdl
number,
2804,
opioid,
opiate
litigation,
and
in
this
matter
city
council
gave
unanimous
direction
for
staff
to
participate
in
the
new
settlement
agreements
with
the
pharmacies
and
manufacturers
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
enter
into
settlement
agreements,
so
the
city
can
participate
in
those
funds.
The
second
item
of
closed
session
discussion
was
meeting
with
the
city's
labor
negotiator,
Ms
Betsy
McClinton
Management
Services
director
pursuant
to
government
code,
section
54
957.6
concerning
the
Burbank
firefighter
Chief
officers
unit
International
Association
of
firefighters,
local
778
city
council,
took
no
reportable
action
in
that
item.
C
G
U
Good
evening
I
had
a
cousin
come
down
stay
overnight;
they
should
be
at
the
Masters
about
now.
He
and
his
friend
left
early
this
morning
and
I
thought
in
the
time
before
I
had
to
take
him
to
the
airport.
I
would
prune
out
the
stuff
for
the
night
I
printed
out
the
wrong
stuff
stuff
for
next
week,
which
is
present
present
owners
day-to-day
finances,
operation.
I
decided
to
give
that
to
you,
so
you
could
look
at
it
the
next
week
or
so.
I
think
you'll
be
I,
think
you'll
be
surprised
by
the
information.
U
So
we
have
acquisition
through
inheritance
here,
because
my
last
parent
passed
away
about
five
years
ago,
I
went
through
the
process
of
acquiring
their
properties.
It's
not
as
easy
as
one
would
think,
and
it's
not
as
economically
feasible
as
one
would
think
either
or
a
windfall
for
the
inheritance
for
the
air.
U
Okay,
as
I've
shown
as
shown
in
the
previous
meeting,
small
investors,
Mom
and
Pops
are
unlikely
to
enter
the
providing
housing,
and
this
analysis
shows
generational.
Continuation
of
providing
housing
is
unlikely
also,
as
mentioned
in
the
bullet,
to
sections
above.
If
my
parents
estate
was
to
settle
today,
the
negative
clash
cash
flow
on
the
real
estate
properties
would
be
about
three
to
five
thousand
dollars
a
month.
Hence
four
single-family
residents
would
be
removed
from
the
rental
housing
market,
because
I
couldn't
sustain.
U
U
This
means
professional
organizations
are
most
likely
to
step
in
rent
control
increases,
the
odds
of
then
continue
cut
dominating
the
industry
becoming
the
future
reality,
because
small
housing
providers
lack
the
resources
navigate
and
whether
the
forever
increasing
intricacies
providing
rental
housing,
especially
if
you're
in
the
city
of
La
I,
do
not
want
to
be
in
the
city
of
La
I.
Consider
myself
a
small
but
I'm
a
much
larger
than
most
mom
and
pop
housing
providers.
I
think
I
have
demonstrated.
I
can
I
could
not
start.
U
It
will
not
be
able
to
carry
on
my
parents,
rental
properties.
In
today's
housing
market,
my
parents
I
thought
my
parents
and
I
thought
generational
wealth
through
passing
down
real
estate
as
a
blessing.
My
experience
made
this
questionable
in
2018
my
increased
income
closely
matched
as
I
told
you
last
time.
The
return
on
investment
currently
is
about
0.17
percent
that
didn't
take
into
account
all
the
Financial
Financial
legal
process
had
to
go
through
to
protect
it
from
my
children.
U
Okay,
due
to
the
acquisition
of
my
parents
properties,
if
transfer
occurred
now
rather
than
2018,
it
would
be
a
curse.
I
now
wonder
if
all
the
effort,
my
wife
and
I
have
expended
in
this
in
the
same
vision,
will
result
in
the
real
estate
holding
being
a
curse
to
our
children
rather
than
a
blessing.
If
we
determine
that
is
the
case,
my
wife
and
I
will
take
steps
to
prevent
this
and
moving
ahead
from
next
week.
U
O
O
We
are
happy
to
announce
that
Horizon
TV,
one
of
our,
is
one
of
our
main
sponsors
and
they
have
dedicated
their
entire
facility
and
operation
to
this
teletime
on
April,
16th
Glendale
is
home
to
our
organization,
and
Burbank
is
right
next
door
and
we
would
love
to
have
City
Council
Members
to
be
present
on
April
16th,
but
we
know
not.
Everyone
will
be
able
to
do
so.
O
Therefore,
we
provide
each
council
member
a
package
to
support
us
by
in
person
a
recorded
message
or
a
written
message,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
have
with
me
nano
Shaheen,
M.A
and
bcba
of
our
organization.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we
would
love
to
have
you
in
our
program,
and
this
is
for
all
the
communities,
not
just
calendar.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
V
This
year
we
respectfully
declined
to
apply,
as
we
were,
anticipating
we
are
anticipating
to
expand
the
clinic
as
I've
talked
to
several
of
you.
We're
we're
really
trying
hard
to
explain,
expand
our
operations
to
serve
more
families.
We
are
a
provider
of
Dentistry
for
low-income
families
and
we've
been
operating
for
over
20
years,
and
we
have
planned
to
use
this
year
to
really
focus
on
the
expansion
and
we
upped
our
grant
applications
last
year
and
are
fully
funded
for
the
fiscal
year
that
the
the
city
block
grant
covers.
V
Therefore,
we
are
not
going
to
apply
at
this
time,
but
hopefully
we'll
have
a
building
soon
and
we'll
apply
for
the
capital
portion
of
the
community
block
grant
program,
we're
we're
working
hard.
Looking
for
properties,
it's
very
difficult
inventory
is
low
and
parking
requirements
are
high
and
it's
really
a
big
challenge
for
us.
But
we
are
sure
we're
going
to
find
something
soon
and
we'll
update
you
at
that
time.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
city
for
the
opportunity
to
apply.
Thank
you.
W
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor,
City,
Council
and
community
members,
I'm
Audrey,
denisian
and
tonight,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
Burbank
Armenian
Association,
to
introduce
the
organization
to
our
community,
we're
a
local
501c3
non-profit.
The
defer
is
firmly
dedicated
to
serving
our
community.
Our
mission
is
rooted
in
promoting
Unity
diversity
and
cultural
education
within
our
community.
W
It
is
our
Ardent
belief
that
cultural
understanding
and
diversity
are
the
cornerstones
of
a
robust
and
Vibrant
Community.
Therefore
we
take
pride
in
being
a
non-partisan
non-political
organization
under
the
leadership
of
Roman
cocopian
and
Lucina
Simone,
and
we
established
the
Burbank
Armenian
Association
in
October
of
2022
during
the
tumultuous
war
in
artsach,
one
of
our
proudest
accomplishments
is
bringing
the
first
armenian-themed
mural
to
the
City
of
Burbank.
This
stunning
mural
is
located
at
the
Nexus
auto
group
and
represents
the
rich
Community
Rich
cultural
history
of
Armenian
Heritage.
W
We
are
delighted
to
have
been
able
to
share
this
beautiful
mural
with
our
community.
We
are
also
proud
to
offer
support
and
cultural
education
opportunities
to
Armenian,
American
businesses
and
community
members
in
the
City
of
Burbank.
Our
organization
is
committed
to
providing
advocacy
and
networking
opportunities
to
promote
inclusivity
and
unity
within
our
community.
We
are
steadfast
partners
with
our
friends
at
anca
Burbank
on
initiatives
that
seek
to
empower
the
Armenian
community.
W
Together,
we
aim
to
make
a
tangible
difference
in
the
city.
Currently,
we
are
collaborating
with
the
Burbank
Police
Department
to
address
the
rampant
issue
of
reckless
driving
in
the
city.
Through
this,
though,
this
is
not
a
cultural
issue,
we
are
confident
that
our
community
can
make
a
substantial
impact
by
working
in
partnership
with
local
law
enforcement
to
promote
safety
and
responsible
driving.
W
This
diversity
is
pivotal
to
promoting
understanding
and
unity
within
our
community.
We
are
thrilled
to
invite
the
Burbank
Community
to
our
inaugural
event,
building
Success
Through
resilience
on
Saturday
April
15th
from
1
to
4
pm
at
the
Nexus
auto
group.
We
hope
this
event
will
be
the
first
step
in
inspiring
our
community
and
bringing
people
together.
We
would
be
it
would
be
an
honor
to
have
you
all
attend.
W
X
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone
I'm
gonna,
ask
for
just
a
second,
because
it
takes
me
a
little
bit
to
get
used
to
being
in
the
podium
yeah.
So
once
again,
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members
last
time
that
I
was
here,
I
brought
to
your
attention
the
the
need
for
tenant
protections,
because
57
of
burbanka
residents
are
are
tenants
and
they
don't
seem
to
have
the
same
legal
protections
as
as
homeowners
today.
X
Tonight,
I
want
to
bring
up
to
your
attention
the
possibility
of
having
a
rental
board
where
it
would
be
a
requirement
that
members
of
that
board
would
also
be
renters,
because
that
would
also
provide
a
more
fair
Vantage
perspective,
for
whenever
there
is
an
issue,
whether
it's
between
landlords
and
or
tenants.
Right
now
we
have
the
the
tenant
landlord
commission,
which
they
do
a
wonderful
job,
mitigating
issues
between
tenants
and
landlords.
X
However,
they
operate
under
what
is
legally
permissible,
meaning
what
is
legally
allowed
right
now
and
if
there
were
to
be
give
more,
you
know
more
protections
given
to
tenants
having
a
renter
board
that
would
also
you
know.
That
would
also
provide
the
possibility
where
different
perspectives
come
in,
and
those
issues
would
actually
have
a
more
wider
vantage
point
and
a
wider
perspective,
and
that
way
the
quality
of
life
in
the
residence
would
also
increase,
and
it
would
be
better
for
everyone.
So
with
the
time
that
I
have
just
want
to
say.
L
C
J
J
J
Is
their
time
when
the
individuals
forfeit
their
current
seats
on
the
council,
the
confusion
focuses
on
the
following.
The
two
individuals
enter
the
primary
and
lose
will
they
still
retain
their
current
seats
on
the
council?
If
the
two
individuals
make
it
to
the
general
election
and
lose,
do
they
forfeit
their
current
seats
on
the
council
and
cannot
return,
Please,
explain
the
process
Mr
McDougall.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Hello
good
evening
my
name
is
Jason
I'm
I'm,
calling
the
hap
on
of
wanting
to
try
to
get
more
seating
for
bus
stops,
I've
seen
several
across
Burbank,
where
there
aren't
any
bus
benches
or
seating
at
the
bus.
Stop
and
I've
seen
a
lot
of
lakes,
senior
citizens,
older
people
that
tend
to
use
these
bus
stops
and
I
just
feel
like
it's
unfair
that
they're,
always
I,
understand
and
yeah
I
feel
like
they'd,
really
appreciate
it,
and
our
community
would
appreciate
it.
C
Okay,
great
there
being
no
more
public
comment.
I
will
close
the
public
comment
period,
brief
response
from
Council,
but
possibly
if
we
can
go
in
reverse
order,
Mr
city
manager,
there
was
a
question
about
bus
stops.
We
have
two,
we
have
the
Burbank
bus
lines,
but
we
also
have
Metro.
Can
we
explain
what's
going
on
yeah.
R
For
ours
you
know
we
do
have
a
policy
related
to
bus
benches,
but
the
good
news
is
that
our
our
bus
bench
contract
that
that
is
coming
towards
end
and
we'll
be
renewing.
That
and
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
there
to
really
have
some
exciting
changes
that
would
really
end
up,
resulting
in
in
different
bus,
shelters
and
different
bus
benches,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
going
to
come
back
to
you.
C
T
Have
a
brief
response
to
Mr
Sheffield's
question
Charter
City
Charter,
section
305,
the
last
sentence
provides
members
of
the
city
council
shall
not
hold
any
other
elective
public
office
to
which
compensation
is
attached
and
the
acceptance
of
any
such
office
or
employment
shall
be
deemed
a
resignation
as
council
member.
So
not
until
such
time
as
a
council
member
is
successfully
elected
to
an
additional
office,
would
they
need
to
resign
from
their
position?
T
Y
No
just
want
to
thank
everyone
also
for
the
autism
event.
That's
his
wonderful
work
and
I
appreciate
that
you're,
bringing
awareness
to
everyone
and
the
FSA
for
doing
a
great
job
with
domestic
violence
and
a
lot
of
other
work
that
they
do
in
the
community
and
bus
stop
was
handled.
A
couple
of
the
other
questions
were
handled
and
Andrea.
Regarding
the
upcoming
event,
I
I've,
seen
the
flyer
and
I
congratulate
the
organization
for
doing
such
a
great
job
and
doing
an
Outreach
I
can
tell
you,
unfortunately,
I
cannot
make
it.
Y
Z
Same
here,
thank
you
to
everybody
that
called-
and
that
spoke
today
at

I'm
really
excited
about
the
upcoming
non-profit
events
that
we
have
in
our
community
and
I'm,
really
proud
of
the
work
that
a
lot
of
our
non-profits
are
doing
to
address
a
lot
of
the
needs
in

happy

Thank
you
thank
you
to
everyone
who
spoke
tonight
and
shared
information
and
your
and
your
thoughts
and
I'd
like
to
Echo
the
sentiment
of
we
had
several
non-profits
and
Community
groups
present
tonight
and
share
with
us
the
wonderful
work
that
they're
doing
in
the
community.
So
for
those
of
you
who
are
still
here.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
sharing
that
with
us.
AA
We
try
to
go
to
as
many
events
as
we
possibly
can
so
I'm
I'm,
confident
that
we'll
have
some
representation
from
our
council
at
your
events
and
keep
doing
the
great
work,
keep
letting
us
know
what
you're
doing
and
very
much
appreciate
it
and
for
the
folks
who
called
about
other
other
items
they
will
be
coming
up
before
us
keep
an
eye
on
the
agenda
forecast.
Thank
you.
F
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
came
in
tonight
and
those
who
called
in
I
won't
repeat
anything
that
my
colleagues
have
said,
but
to
the
commenters
who
have
been
and
I
imagine
will
continue
to
come
to
address
the
council
regarding
rent
control
or
rental
board.
Please
know
that
we
we
can't
comment
on
it,
because
that
is
a
future
agenda
item,
but
I
really
appreciate
your
input
and
I'll
look
forward
to
continuing
to
listen
to
everything
you
have
to
say
for
future
meetings.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
all
for
coming
down.
As
always,
Dale
Gorman
pleasure,
seeing
you
and
Mr

Could
you
please
let
the
Burbank

Association
know
that
the

Burbank,
is
outraged
and
disgusted
by
the

A
C
C
AA
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
have
a
quick
question.
I
don't
want
to
pull
anything
but
could
I
get
some
clarification
on
item
number
three
from
a
representation
from
our
BPD
about
the
104
about
a
hundred
and
four
thousand
dollars
for
wellness
and
mental
health
Grant.
And
could
you
give
us
a
little
bit
more
information
on
what
that's
used
for
in
in
PD.
AB
Yeah
absolutely
good
evening,
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I'll
be
happy
to
provide
what
we
believe
we're
going
to
do
with
this
funding.
We
just
received
it.
We
have
until
December
1st
of
2025
to
expend
it,
but
we've
got
a
lot
of
irons
in
our
fire,
so
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
have
any
problems.
One
of
our
first
initiatives
is
going
to
be
to
continue
bi-annual
training
for
our
peer
support
team.
Last
year
we
implemented
a
designated
peer
support
team.
AB
It's
16
individuals
in
the
department,
sworn
and
non-sworn
that
were
nominated
by
their
peers,
that
a
cover
a
wide
range
of
roles
and
responsibilities
rank
within
the
department
includes
a
member
of
our
chaplain
program.
So
they
attended
two
sessions
last
year
with
with
a
licensed
police
psychologist,
to
learn
about
what
a
peer
support
team
does
and
what
their
roles
and
responsibilities
are
as
well
the
fundamentals
of
what
they
need
to
act
in
the
role
of
a
peer
support
member.
AB
So
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
to
continue
to
train
that
group
to
sustain
what
their
capabilities
are
and
to
build
on
those,
so
they
maintain
a
state
of
Readiness
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
staff
at
any
time.
So,
right
now
we're
planning
to
do
biannual.
Continual
training
with
that
group
we'd
also
like
that
group
to
continue
their
participation
in
the
LA
county
regional
peer
support
group
trainings.
AB
That
group
has
been
meeting
on
a
quarterly
basis
or
as
needed
where
all
of
the
law
enforcement
agencies
that
have
peer
support
teams
get
together
for
a
one-day
session.
It's
usually
a
training
component
and
then
they'll
do
kind
of
debriefs
on
critical
incident
responses
that
each
agency
has
participated
in
what
worked.
What
didn't,
what
initiatives
or
departments
utilizing
so
we'd
like
to
continue
our
participation
in
that
group?
We
also
are
going
to
implement
quarterly
roll
call
trainings.
AB
So
this
will
be
available
to
all
of
our
staff
where
we
will
bring
in
subject
matter
experts
to
speak
at
our
roll
call
briefings
and
that
will
include
sworn
non-sworn.
The
will
that
people
actually
have
to
come
out
seven
different
times
said
weekends
and
midnight
and
everything
else
to
hit
all
of
our
staff.
AB
We're
also
going
to
have
participation
in
national
conferences
that
are
focused
on
law
enforcement,
mental
health
and
wellness.
So
we
have
three
right
now
that
are
going
for
the
remainder
of
this
year
that
we
will
send
our
staff
to
participate
in
we're
looking
at
basically
anything
and
everything
else.
That's
out
there
web-based
applications,
videos,
books,
resource
materials.
AB
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
holistic
approach
to
providing
the
resources
needed
for
staff
who
may
be
experiencing
various
types
of
difficulties,
and
then
we're
also
looking
at
wellness
events,
which
is
something
we
haven't
done
before.
So
we
aren't
sure
exactly
what
that
looks
like
at
this
time,
but
we
are
looking
at
partnering
with
local
service
providers.
Maybe
Fitness
organizations
nutrition.
You
know
restaurants
or
organizations
to
maybe
do
something
that
brings
staff
together
outside
of
their
normal.
AB
You
know
work
environment,
so
they
can
bring
their
families
kind
of
engage
in
a
more
informal
environment,
not
only
to
get
the
resources
that
are
there,
but
to
continue
to
build
on
the
teamwork
and
camaraderie
that
we're
trying
to
establish.
So
that's
a
lot.
We
continue
to.
We
hope
to
continue
to
do
even
more
and
I
think
it's
worth
pointing
out
that
on
the
May
17th
police
commission,
meeting
Wellness
is
on
the
agenda.
We
have.
AB
AC
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
nice
to
see
you
again,
I
promise,
I,
won't
faint
I
do
have
one
slide
that
I
wanted
to
share
and
I
promise.
I'll
be
brief.
This
gives
me
a
good
opportunity
just
to
kind
of
reiterate
kind
of
what
the
downtown
Burbank
business
improvement
district
does.
So
this
is
the
map
of
the
downtown
Burbank
p-vid.
Currently,
right
now
we
have
three
zones.
The
The
Zone
in
the
orange
yellow
color
is
Zone
one.
AC
The
middle
area
in
the
Blue
Zone
two
and
the
green
area
to
the
right
of
the
screen
is
zone
three
zone
three
was
recently
added
in
2018.
After
the
the
district
was
together
for
15
years,
2023
actually
marks
the
20th
year
and
20th
anniversary
of
our
downtown
Burbank
p-vid,
and
that
organization
has
invested
private
funding
into
into
the
downtown
area
approximately
16
million
dollars.
AC
So
just
a
quick
overview
back
in
2018.
When
we
did
renew
the
district
for
a
10-year
term,
we
expanded
that
zone
into
zone
three.
We
thought
it
was
important
because
Ikea
was
there
now
Hilton
Garden
and
Spring
Hill
Suites
as
well
as
Tesla.
The
new
budget
definitely
did
increase.
The
original
budget
was
around
700
000.
We
were
able
to
go
up
to
a
little
bit
over
a
million
dollars
and
that's
when
we
added
our
hospitality
and
Social
Service
outreach
program
like
Street,
plus
we
increased
our
maintenance
added,
more
holiday,
decorations
and
things
of
that
nature.
Y
AA
C
Is
the
time
and
place
for
the
public
hearing
of
the
Burbank
Housing
Authority,
considered
the
public
housing
agency
annual
plan
for
fiscal
year,
2023
2024
and
proposed
amendments
to
the
Housing
Authority
administrative
Plan?
Before
we
begin,
are
there
any
disclosures
relating
to
this
hearing?
No
Madam
city
clerk
have
the
notices,
as
required
by
law,
been
given.
E

AD
The
purpose
of
this
presentation
is
to
give
an
update
on
the
activities
of
the
Burbank
housing
authority
to
continue
to
receive
funding
for
the
Section
8
rental
assistance
program.
I'll
provide
more
details
later
in
the
presentation.
In
summary,
the
goal
of
the
program
is
to
assist
the
most
needy
and
vulnerable
households
in
the
city
who,
if
not
for
this
rent
subsidy,
would
be
at
risk
of
becoming
homeless
program
participants,
utilize,
the
Section,
8
rent
subsidy
to
lease
a
unit
in
the
private
market
and
pay
only
a
portion
of
the
contract
rent
with
their
household
income.
AD
Making
the
unit
affordable
to
the
participant
household,
the
Section
8
program
meets
the
city
council
goal
of
providing
affordable
housing
in
the
community,
I'll
discuss
Council
goals
and
objectives
more
in
the
next
slide.
At
the
end
of
my
presentation,
I
will
end
with
an
update
on
estimated
funding
and
next
steps.
AD

The
goals
and
objectives
outlined
in
these
documents
continues
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
Section
8
program,
tailored
to
the
Burbank
Community
within
the
funding
allocation
provided
each
year,
including
as
noted
on
this
slide,
to
improve
and
expand
rental
opportunities
for
lower

Staff
continues
to
work
with
the

to
receive
referrals
for
one
available,

we
mentioned
earlier,

is
in
the
process
of
reviewing
eligibility
for
households
to
utilize,

Section,
8
vouchers
allocated
last
October.
Furthermore,
the
Burbank
Housing
Authority
continues
to
review
applications
for
the
67
emergency
housing
vouchers.
The
eh
ehbs
received
in
2021

the
American
Rescue
Act

the
67
vouchers
received.
As
of
tonight,
39
vouchers
have
been
utilized
and
another
15
vouchers
have
been
issued
and
are
seeking
housing.
AD
This
population
of
ehbs
experience
challenges
and
barriers
that
cause
a
significant
delay
in
the
processes
and
procedures
that
the
Los
Angeles
homeless,
Service
Authority,
also
known
as
lhasa
and
the
Housing
Authority,
must
follow
to
determine
eligibility
staff
continues
to
work
with
lhasa
to
make
referrals
to
the
program.
Also,
all
20
of
the
permanent
supportive
housing
vouchers
are
completely
utilized.
AD
AD
The
proposed
program
documents
were
presented
as
required
to
the
resident
Advisory
board,
made
up
of
current
program
participants.
A
public
meeting
was
held
on
February
15
2023..
The
meeting
was
advertised
in
the
city's
website
published
in
the
Los
Angeles
Times,
and
more
than
850
postcards
were
mailed
in
English,
Spanish
and
Armenian.
AD
AD
As
explained
in
this
presentation,
the
Burbank
Housing
Authority
is
allocated
1042
vouchers
for
different
voucher
programs.
However,
the
Housing
Authority
does
not
receive
enough
funding
for
all
allocated
vouchers.
Each
month,
housing
staff
submits
expenditure,
information
and
based
on
the
report,
if
necessary,
staff
will
request
for
additional
funds
within
the
budget
allocation.
AD
Furthermore,
staff
continues
to
apply
and
request
new
vouchers
as
effort
opportunities
arise
along
with
new
funding
that
is
required
to
utilize.
The
vouchers
Burbank
Housing
Authority
has
not
yet
received
the
final
program
budget
for
housing
assistance
payments
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
However,
notice
notice
was
given
that
we
can
expect
an
increase
of
seven
and
a
half
percent
over
last
year's
expenses.
Therefore,
staff
is
budgeting
for
an
estimated
total
of
11
million
dollars
to
administer
the
program.
AD
C
E
C
All
right
there
being
no
public
comment,
I
know
close
the
public
comment
period
staff.
Can
you
want
to
respond?
If
there's
anything
else,
there
were
no
speakers.
So
it's
up
to
you.
You
still
have
time.
If
you
want
to
say
anything
else.
Okay,
great
we've
completed
the
improves
of
public
comment
for
the
public
hearing.
C
G
Z
AD
Staff
is
continuously
reaching
out
to
program
participants
trying
to
get
program
participants
to
participate
in
the
program.
We
have
only
four
slots
left
and
we
have
two
currently
that
are
I'm
going
to
say
that
they're
going
to
be
future
successful,
completions,
and
so
we
will
so
we'll
have
a
total
of
two
more.
So
staff
is
continuously
reaching
out
to
participants
to
try
to
get
them
to
participate.
AD
Z
Thank
you,
I'm,
always
curious
when
you
see
these
programs,
because
that
is
my
bread
and
butter.
So
it's
interesting
to
know
what
the
challenges
are
and
maybe
what
we
can
do
to
to
incentivize
people
to
to
participate
and
get
back
on
their
feet
and
then
another
question
I
had
moving
back
to
the
hcv
Section
8
vouchers.
So
the
staff
report
and
the
admin
plan
mentioned
that
tenants
have
portability
with
their
vouchers
right
and
I
was
wondering.
Do
we
have
data
on
how
many
folks
have
chosen
to
take
that
voucher
outside
of
Burbank?
AD
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
we
do
have
a
58
total
participants
that
have
ported
out,
meaning
they've,
taken
their
voucher
to
another
Housing
Authority
and
as
far
as
a
trend,
it's
all
dependent
on
the
housing
market
for
the
City
of
Burbank.
You
know
it's
folks
do
try
to
find
something
first
in
Burbank
and
if
they're
unsuccessful,
then
they
decide
to
transfer
to
another
Housing
Authority,
another
city
where
house
the
rental
market
is
a
bit
more
affordable.
AE
And
if
I
could
add
a
council
member,
also,
in
addition
to
the
port
out,
we
do
have
households
that
pour
it
into
the
community.
So
so
it
really
does
go
both
ways.
There
are
opportunities,
and
so
so
nationally
for
the
program,
as
as
the
council
may
be
aware,
there
is
that
option
for
movement.
So,
as
the
statistics
of
Miss
ivesian
reported,
there
are
Port
outs.
We
also
have
a
number
that
do
port
in
and
we're
able
to.
Z
AD
So
if
a
tenant
decides
to
utilize
their
voucher
to
another
Housing
Authority,
they
inform
the
request
in
writing
and
their
caseworker
will
then
transfer
their
case
to
whichever
Housing
Authority.
They
wish
this
program.
You
are
able
to
utilize
your
voucher
Nationwide,
so
it
can
be
anywhere.
You
can
be
living
here
in
Burbank
and
then
in
the
next
month
you
can
be
living
in
New
York,
so
it
just
all
depends
on
where
the
participant
wishes
to
transfer.
Z
AD
Z
AA
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
information
sounds
like
a
lot
of
successful
elements
to
this
program
and
particularly
interested
in
the
family
self-sufficiency
program
that
councilmember
Perez
mentioned
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
that's
a
relatively
new
program
right
actually.
AD
No,
they
don't
lose
their
voucher,
it
depends
on
the
family
and
it
depends
on
how
self-sufficient
they
have
become.
We
have
had
families
that
have
decided
to
give
up
their
voucher
and
they
have
purchase
their
own
home.
They've
moved
on.
You
know
starting
their
own
little
business.
It
just
all
depends
on
the
family
and
the
amount
that
we
were
able
to
save
for
the
family,
for
them
to
graduate
from
the
program.
AE
I
may
add:
pardon
me,
council,
member
I,
just
wanted
to
add
that
this
program
is
being
phased
out.
So,
as
Miss
ivassian
mentioned
earlier
in
1993,
the
the
allocation
of
50
and
there's
been
the
successful
graduations,
and
so
earlier
we
heard
from
the
council
member
the
question
on
only
two.
So
as
folks
graduate
and
there
are
successful,
graduations
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
program
is
being
phased
out.
So
that's
why
we're
down
to
the
two
and
not
a
higher
number,
so
I
wanted
to
clarify
that.
That's.
AA
AE
I
would
agree,
certainly
agree,
and
while
this
Federal
program
is
being
phased
out,
we
do
have
other
programs
in
our
community.
We
do
have
the
lifting
people
up
program
that
you've
heard
of
that
our
partner
home
again
La
assists
with,
and
that
specifically
is
funding
through
restricted
housing
funds
also
for
lower
income
households
at
risk
of
homelessness.
So
you
may
have
you've
seen
the
advertisements
for
programming
financial
assistance.
All
of
that
too,
very
similar
to
FSS
provide
that
self-sufficiency
to
households.
AA
That's
great
news:
Switching
gears
a
little
bit
towards
the
other
end
of
it.
You'd
mentioned
in
one
of
your
slides
to
continue
to
educate
landlords
and
program
participants,
some
particularly
interested
in
increasing
the
landlord
availability.
So,
just
briefly,
how
do
you
approach
landlords
and
invite
them
to
join,
be
willing
to
accept
Section,
8
vouchers
and,
in
addition,
the
new
housing
that's
being
developed?
Are
those
also
a
possibility
of
them
participating
in.
AD
It
course
landlords
are
very
much
welcome
to
participate
in
this
program
and
they
are
more
than
welcome
to
list
their
available
units
with
the
Housing
Authority.
They
may
contact
our
office
and
I
can
give
the
phone
number
at
818-238-5160
contact
our
office
to
list
your
vacant
unit
and
what
we
do
with
that
listing
is
we.
We
provide
it
to
our
program,
participants
who
are
in
search
of
a
unit
and
in
response
to
can,
you
repeat
the
second
part
of
your
question
I'm.
So
sorry,
yes,.
AD
Absolutely
yes,
new
developments
again,
I'm
just
going
to
call
them
new
landlords.
They
are
more
than
welcome
to
participate
as
well
and
when
our
participants
are
in
search
of
a
housing.
What
we
do
is
we
provide
a
briefing
packet
that
has
a
lot
of
resources
and
in
those
resources,
our
list
of
projects
that
are
either
coming
on
board
or
or
are
existing.
So
we
encourage
our
participants
to
you,
know,
contact
and
inquire,
and
especially
the
the
deed,
restricted
properties.
So,
yes,.
AA
AA
AD
AE
It
okay,
if
I
may
add,
council
member
just
one
more
thing
to
add
to
what
Miss
ivassian
was
explaining
I
think
it's
important
for
for
the
community,
also
to
know
with
the
funding
allocation
that
we
do
receive
from
the
from
HUD.
What
we
have
done
is
we
provide
the
largest
subsidy
available.
So
we
pretty
much
maximize
that
maximize
that
subsidy
to
each
household
because
of
our
higher
rent.
So
HUD
gives
us
that
flexibility.
AE
We
can
provide
a
lower
subsidy
at
the
lower
end
or
we
can
provide
a
maximum
subsidy
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
do
want
to
mention.
We
have
a
waiver
to
even
go
above
what
typically
some
housing
authorities
do,
because
we
want
to
do
maximize
that
subsidy
level
for
our
households,
so
that
they're
not
rent
burdened.
So
what
happens
is
because
of
the
budget
allocation
and
that
higher
subsidy
that
we
have
chosen
the
council
has
directed
to
provide.
Is
that
we're
on
the
higher
end
of
our
subsidy
level?
AE
So
that
means
less
folks
can
get
an
allocation
or
can
get
a
voucher
or
have
funding
for
for
that
voucher.
But
as
Miss
ivassian
explains,
so
we've
got
to
keep
showing
that
we
are
spending
money
to
get
more
money.
So,
as
HUD
then
sees
this
reporting
every
year,
and
we
request
this
money,
they
will
utilize
the
past
year
to
project
forward.
Okay,
Burbank
is
now
doing
X,
Y
and
Z
and
they'll
continue
to
increase,
hopefully
that
funding.
AE
So
that's
what
what
was
Miss
I
advising
was
explaining
in
our
presentation
we're
monitoring
people
coming
off
the
program.
Who
can
we
pull?
How
can
we
continue
to
increase
expenditures
still
at
this
High
subsidy
level
so
that
we
can
continue
to
get
more
funding
to
utilize?
More
more
of
those
vouchers.
AA
AA
Y
Well,
this
is
a
perfect
segue
to
my
question,
so
the
number
great
job
by
the
way
and
Outreach
and
providing
the
explanation
you
provided
in
the
report.
I,
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
with
the
amount
of
people
who
are
on
the
waiting
list.
The
number
one
I
don't
want
to
say,
complain
but
concern
that
people
usually
ask
you
know.
Y
When
I'm
out
in
the
community
I've
been
on
the
waiting
list
for
five
six
years,
my
neighbor
just
moved
here
and
got
the
voucher
and
she's
able
to
get
her
he's
able
to
get
it.
Can
you
explain
quickly,
please
the
process
of
what?
How
do
these
people
move
on
the
list?
How
do
they
bump
up
from
being
number
1000
to
maybe
number
80
on
the
list?
Thank.
AD
T
So
if
I
could
I
just
want
to
flush
that
out
a
little
bit
because
so
what
they'll
do
is
someone
could
have
four
different
Four
Points.
Let's
call
it
four
points:
they
they'll
have
people
with
four
points.
Three
points,
two
points,
one
point
and
then
out
of
City
people,
maybe
with
zero
points.
So
you'll
do
a
poll
from
everybody
ranked
four
to
meet
the
number
and
then
you'll
go
to
the
next
one.
So
it
goes
in
classes
that
way.
I
believe
right.
AD
Right
weighed
by
the
preferences,
so
each
preference
has
a
weight
amount.
For
example,
if
you
have
The
Residency
preference,
it
could
be
weighed
at
10
points.
So
if,
let's
say
you
have
a
total
of
30
points
right
and
so
when,
if,
if
you
have
30
points,
you're
kind
of
bubbled
to
the
top
of
the
list,
and
so
your
chances
are
higher
to
be
pulled
when
we
have
what
we
call
the
opening
to
pull
applicants
from
the
waiting
list.
AD
Make
not
the
preference
the
income
is
think
of
it
as
separate,
and
so,
if
you
are
within
the
area
median
income
so
like,
let's
say
it
depends
on
what
which
range
you're
in,
if
you're,
in
the
low,
very
low
and
so
forth.
So
if
we're
going
to
be
pulling
from
the
very
low,
then
the
system
model
automatically
pulls
from
those
applicants
with
that
amounted
at
that
amount
of
income.
AE
Council
member,
if
I,
if
I,
could
add
to
what
Miss
ivassian
has
been
explaining
and
give
a
little
background,
is
that
the
applicant
waiting
list
right
now
is
is
currently
closed.
And
to
answer
the
question
about
the
constituents
and
residents
asking
about
no
movement,
we
do
have,
as
you
heard
the
numbers,
all
those
folks
on
the
waiting
list.
AE
So
it's
not
if
you
applied
in
the
first
day
in
the
first
hour
when
the
waiting
list
opened,
it
really
has
been
on
the
desire
of
of
this
Council
on
last
councils
to
to
meet
the
the
most
needy
and
vulnerable,
so
the
preferences
for
homelessness,
as
you
heard,
preferences
for
veterans
all
of
those
preferences-
and
we
heard
from
the
city
attorney
those
are
all
weighted.
We
do
have
a
software
system
that
then
will
generate
that
that
list,
so
I
do
want
to
emphasize
folks.
AE
Do
you
have
to
be
on
the
current
section,
8
waiting
list
and
when
there
is
an
opportunity,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
for
these
13
new
vouchers,
where
you
have
now
selected
based
on
the
preferences
and
the
adopted
housing
administrative
plan,
and
then
we
utilize
that
methodology
to
then
select
to
meet
the
goals
of
the
city
council.
According
to
the
preference
mechanism.
Y
Thank
you,
my
other
quick
question
in
regards
to
the
emergency
housing
vouchers,
the
67
vouchers
you
reflect
here
that
you've
used
38
and
then
another
15.
So
it
looks
like
we
have
about
14
left
to
be
used.
If
you
can
just
provide
a
quick
explanation
to
what
are
those
used
for
for
specific
cases
or
you
can
use
them
to
help
also
offset
some
of
the
vouchers
that
we
talked
about
based
on
their
preference.
Y
Question
I'm,
so
sorry,
council,
member,
no,
no,
no
problem,
it's
on
page
two
and
we
are
looking
at
67
emergency
housing
vouchers,
which
is
the
ehb
and
it
we
in
a
report.
It
says
that
38
voucher
has
been
utilized.
Another
15
vouchers
have
been
issued
to
those
households
are
looking
for
a
unit,
so
the
total
so
far
that
we've
used
I
believe
is
53.
So
do
we
still
have
14
vouchers
left
and
what
would
those
be
used
for
and
when
would
they
be
used?
So.
AD
AE
I
may
add,
council
member
as
well
to
witness
ivassian
has
stated
the
emergency
housing
vouchers
are
very
specific
allocation
for
for
households
who
meet
the
criteria
of
being
homeless
at
risk
of
homelessness,
fleeing
or
attempting
to
flee
domestic
violence,
stating
violence
recently
homeless.
So
so
we
do
have
to
follow
the
specific
targeted
group
and
there
is
a
chapter
for
the
public
to
see
in
our
administrative
plan
on
emergency
housing
vouchers.
AE
So
those
remaining
vouchers,
as
you've
pointed
out,
we
are
in
the
process,
as
Miss
ivassian
has
indicated,
going
through
applications
through
the
required
referral
system,
because
it's
a
very
specific
group
of
clientele
working
with
the
Los
Angeles
homeless,
Services
Agency
through
the
coordinated
entry
system,
then
back
to
us
and
reviewing
those
applications.
So
we
do
have
applications
and
continue
to
receive
applications
that
we
review,
then
for
eligibility
to
finalize
those
use
of
those
final
vouchers.
F
C

Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
move
to
adopt
a
resolution
of
the
Burbank
Housing
Authority

We
have
three
reports
to
council
this
evening.
If
you
wish
to
speak
at
a
report,
please
fill
out
a
yellow
comment
card
and
hand
it
to
the
city.
Clerk
first
report
is
the
2023
update
on
the
city
of
burbank's
economy,
Mrs,
Mary,
hamzoian,
economic
development
manager
and
Mrs
Marissa
minor
senior
administrative
analyst
in
the
Community
Development
Department.
Please
present
the
report.
C
AF
Make
sure
this
oh
can
I
get
the
slides
one
for
a
moment.
Thank
you.
So
much
try
to
get
next
to
the
mic
good
evening,
mayor
Anthony
vice
mayor
Schultz
and
esteemed
members
of
city
council.
My
name
is
Marissa.
Miner
and
I
will
be
kicking
off
today's
presentation
and
update
on
burbank's
economy.
Tonight
our
team
will
focus
on
providing
an
overview
of
burbank's
Economy,
based
on
current
economic
indicators
and
Trends
in
the
marketplace.
AF
Outreach
and
communication
is
one
of
the
keys
to
our
success,
and
that
was
certainly
the
case
with
Black
Angus.
Initially,
our
team
had
reached
out
to
Black
Angus.
As
we
heard,
the
release
of
the
current
restaurant
space
was
expiring
in
2023,
and
we
wanted
to
discuss
potential
for
relocation
to
a
new
site.
We
provided
multiple
sites
that
would
be
a
good
fit
and
ultimately
Black
Angus
decided
to
stay
at
their
existing
location
and
work
out
an
agreement
with
the
owner.
AF
During
these
conversations,
however,
we
were
also
informed
that
Black
Angus
was
looking
for
a
potential
office
space
to
relocate
their
headquarters.
We
saw
this
as
an
advantageous
opportunity
for
Black
Angus
and
they
agreed
we
connected
Black
Angus
corporate
to
3,
000
square
feet
of
office
space
and
they
brought
25
employees
to
the
area
as
a
bonus,
the
new
headquarters
enables
their
team
to
test
new
menus
and
addition
initiatives
easily
thanks
to
its
walking
distance
from
their
popular
downtown
Burbank
location.
AF
Another
example
of
Attraction
efforts
are
our
business
concierge
services
through
relationships
with
local
developers,
property
owners
and
Brokers
were
able
to
assist
with
things
like
site
selection,
business
resources
and,
in
general,
help
guide
new
businesses
through
our
City's
permitting
processes.
Recently,
a
downtown
Burbank
property
owner
reached
out
to
connect
us
with
a
potential
tenant.
Looking
at
the
former
Mr
Kebab
space,
the
tenant
had
several
questions
about
outdoor
dining
and
overall
fit
of
his
concept
for
the
area,
understanding
that
the
tenant
would
be
a
great
fit
for
downtown.
AF
AF
Another
method
of
attraction
that
we
use
is
marketing
and
promoting
our
business
incentives
and
why
companies
should
choose
Burbank.
In
addition
to
print
and
digital
ads,
we
have
a
dedicated
website,
choose
burbank.com
that
hosts
a
plethora
of
information
and
resources,
as
well
as
a
comparison
of
doing
business
in
Burbank
versus
Los
Angeles.
This
comparison
is
an
important
factor
for
companies
and
developers
when
they're
selecting
sites
and
considering
where
to
locate.
AF
Each
year,
our
team
attends
the
largest
retail
conference
in
the
U.S
and
other
important
retail
focused
events
to
meet
with
potential
retail
Brokers
and
developers
to
attract
tenants
to
Burbank.
We
conduct
direct
Outreach
with
Brokers,
representing
tenants
that
we're
looking
to
attract,
and
we
work
closely
with
property
owners
to
Market
their
spaces.
Recently.
These
efforts
resulted
in
the
attraction
of
the
businesses
that
you
see
here
on
this
slide.
AF
Retention
is
a
high
priority
for
economic
development,
and
we
understand
that
companies
have
choices
when
it
comes
to
where
they
locate
they
can
be
here
or
in
another
city.
We
want
to
ensure
that
our
businesses
are
supported
and
valued,
and
so
we
maintain
several
programs
that
support
our
existing
business
Community,
including
our
business
visitation
program.
AF
AF
We
Champion
the
entrepreneurial
Spirit
here
and
offer
many
programs
that
provide
opportunities
for
the
startup
and
small
business
Community.
Our
Burbank
entrepreneurship
programming
assists
Founders
in
various
stages
from
ideation
all
the
way
through
execution
through
our
Innovative
programming,
we've
worked
to
cultivate
an
ecosystem
here
in
Burbank,
and
now
we've
expanded
our
reach
with
our
partners
in
Glendale
by
launching
upstart
Valley,
our
regional
identity,
which
seeks
to
generate
awareness
for
Burbank
and
Glendale
as
a
tech
hub.
AF
The
ultimate
goal
of
these
programs
is
to
attract
new
businesses
and
talent
to
Burbank.
This
can
be
a
long
process,
but
we
are
always
excited
when
a
connection
is
made
or
a
new
idea
comes
to
fruition.
Recently,
through
our
new
startup
Academy
Burbank
program,
we
were
introduced
to
a
business
named
Mr
pop-up
chef.
The
business
owner
has
a
food
truck
that
is
often
in
the
Burbank
area
and
was
happy
to
be
taking
part
in
the
new
Academy,
which
benefits
early
State
Founders
in
building
successful,
ready
to
launch
startups.
AF
We
connected
with
the

Tourism
is
very
important
to
Burbank
and
we
have
an
average
of
7
700
visitors
to
our
city.
Every
day
our
tourism
efforts
have
helped
to
increase

Since
the
Inception
of
the

in
2011.,
there
are
a
variety
of
ways
that
we
enhance
tourism
in
Burbank,
including
event
Partnerships,
like
the
one
developed
with
Muse
Expo,
our
staff
first
learned
of
news,
Expo
and
international
music
and
media
conference
and
its
organizer
in
early
2018..
AF
At
that
time,
the
event
was
held
in
Hollywood
and
the
attendees
weren't
happy
with
the
location
due
to
some
ongoing
safety
concerns.
We
learned
more
about
the
event.
We
knew
that
it
had
to
be
held
in
the
media
capital
of
the
world.
We
discussed
with
the
organizers
how
bird
bank
would
be
the
ideal
location
to
relocate
to
and
shared
many
local
venues
that
would
fit
their
specific
needs,
including
the
Castaway.
AF
Our
staff
also
worked
closely
with
news
Expo
to
obtain
a
sponsorship
from
visit
Burbank,
which
secured
the
International
Event
in
our
city.
Our
relationship
with
Muse
Expo
has
been
a
great
win
for
Burbank
and
the
benefits
of
having
this
event
here
are
many,
including
our
recent

Downtown

another
major
component
of

as
Mary

earlier,
it

for
20
years.

AF
That
has
made
a
significant
impact
to

and
had
a
trickle
effect.
Citywide
is
our
hospitality
and
Social
Service
outreach
program
through
Street

back
in
March
of
2019,
the

The
City
of
Burbank
has
a
resilient
economy.
Like
other
cities,
we
have
been
affected
by
recessions
on
the
pandemic
and
each
time
we
have
felt
our
dips,
but
we
have
come
back
even
stronger.
Part
of
this
is
because
of
our
location
and
proximity
to
Los
Angeles,
but
the
major
contributing
factor
is
our
strong
media
and
entertainment
presence
that
is
comprised
of
more
than
a
thousand
businesses
such
as
Warner,
Brothers,
Discovery,
Walt,
Disney,
Company,
Netflix,
Nickelodeon
and
smaller
creative
companies
that
provide
post-production,
visual
effects.
AC
Some
of
the
additional
Top
Line
demographics
include
105
000
population,
estimated
daytime
population
of
200,
000
12,
400
businesses,
average
household
income
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
and
median
income
of
eighty
nine
thousand.
While
Burbank
is
resilient.
We
still
face
many
challenges
ahead,
as
we
tried
to
navigate
through
the
lingering
impacts
from
the
pandemic,
such
as
the
ongoing
work
from
home
trends,
along
with
inflation
supply,
chain
issues
and
a
possible
recession.
AC
AC
One
of
the
major
areas
of
focus
in
in
the
report
is
jobs
and
business
growth.
As
you
can
imagine,
this
area
continues
to
evolve
and
is
constantly
changing.
So
here's
what
we
know
now.
Burbank's
jobs
have
almost
completely
recovered
to
pre-pandemic
levels,
with
142
000
jobs
in
2022,
which
is
slightly
lower
than
149
000
jobs
in
2019..
Most
of
these
positions
are
physically
located
in
Burbank,
while
still
some
still
remain
remote
and
may
do
so.
For
the
future,
many
companies
are
requiring
their
employees
to
return
to
work
at
least
three
days
a
week.
AC
We
know
that
Disney
employees
were
asked
to
return
to
work
four
days
a
week,
beginning
this
month.
Our
businesses
have
stated
that
the
hybrid
work
schedule
has
created
many
challenges
and
opportunities
for
both
the
businesses
and
the
employees.
Companies
like
cast
and
crew
and
Netflix
are
trying
to
keep
employees
engaged,
creating
opportunities
and
incentives
for
them
to
return
to
the
workplace.
They
are
also
challenged
with
additional
space
and
jobs
that
they
may
no
longer
need,
which
has
prompted
them
to
right
size.
Their
physical
space
requirements
cast
and
crew
is
subleasing.
AC
AC
We
don't
know
what
the
impacts
are
for
Burbank,
yet
we
do
know
that
three
thousand
of
the
jobs
are
in
positions
that
are
unfilled,
so
essentially
a
hiring
freeze,
while
the
real
impacts
are
to
a
four
thousand
jobs
which
will
result
in
a
5.5
billion
dollar
savings
for
Disney,
while
some
companies
may
be
right-sizing
their
employees
and
space,
others
are
expanding
and
adding
more
jobs.
We
know
that
worth
real
estate
and
Warner
Brothers
are
moving
forward
with
building
an
additional
16
new
sound
stages
in
Burbank
at
the
ranch
property.
AC
This
has
the
potential
to
increase
jobs
by
two
to
three
thousand
in
the
next
five
years.
We
also
have
learned,
through
our
business
visits,
that
St
Joe's,
Medical,
Center
and
UCLA
health
are
in
need
of
additional
medical
office
space
for
their
Physicians.
This
will
also
increase
the
growth
in
jobs
in
the
future.
AC
However,
if
we
continue
to
see
a
trend
of
subleases
and
right
sizing,
the
city
may
need
to
consider
allowing
for
adaptive
reuse
what
that
means
is
reusing,
an
existing
building
for
a
purpose
other
than
which
it
was
originally
built
or
designed
so
office.
Developments
in
Burbank
may
be
looked
at
that
if
there
is
a
potential
for
that,
this
is
a
expensive
Prospect.
So
the
trend
would
really
need
to
continue
long
enough
to
significantly
impact
and
reduce
the
value
of
office,
property
and
rents.
AC
Before
we
even
consider
that
since
2017,
we
have
seen
that
overall
number
of
jobs
have
remained
in
the
mid
140
000
range
peaking
at
149
000
in
2019..
We
also
see
that
the
media
sector
has
fluctuated
between
60
000
jobs
at
its
highest
to
53
000
jobs
at
its
lowest.
These
fluctuations
can
be
a
result
of
mergers,
layoffs,
Peak,
slow
production
times.
However,
with
the
exception
of
2020,
overall
jobs
have
remained
steady.
AC
To
recap:
the
jobs
and
business
growth
sector
Burbank
is
still
strong
and
has
the
largest
concentration
of
entertainment
companies
in
the
country.
Burbank
jobs
are
some
of
the
highest
paying
jobs
in
the
entertainment
and
digital
medium.
The
average
household
income
in
Burbank
is
125
000.,
the
average
annual
income
for
jobs
and
the
media
and
entertainment
sector
for
one
employee
is
166
000..
On
average,
one
employee
in
the
media
industry
makes
more
money
than
an
average
household
in
Burbank.
AC
AC
The
industry
has
many
sub-sectors
included
within
it
that
has
helped
Safeguard
the
effects
of
the
potential
downturn.
The
current
areas
of
growth
in
this
industry
include
visual
effects,
animation,
sound
post-production,
music,
gaming,
entertainment
equip
equipment,
rental
and
innovation,
the
more
we
can
diversify
in
these
subcategories,
the
better
insulated.
We
will
be
in
case
of
another
downturn
planning
ahead
for
the
future.
Our
staff
will
add
strategies
to
our
New
Economic
Development
strategic
plan
to
address
how
we
best
move
forward
forward
with
diversifying
our
business
portfolio
and
the
potential
for
adaptive
reuse
of
our
existing
Office
Buildings.
AC
One
of
the
areas
that
continues
to
struggle
is
our
Leisure
and
Hospitality
sector.
Not
only
was
this
sector
hit
hard
due
to
the
decline
in
travel,
but
it
was
also
adversely
affected
by
the
lack
of
Workforce.
In
the
labor
market,
however,
we've
noticed
that
there
is
a
growth
structure
with
occupancy
at
the
end
of
2022
at
73.3
percent.
This
is
higher
than
the
2021
occupancy
of
67.9
percent.
As
Miss
Miner
mentioned.
There
are
currently
7
700
visitors
in
Burbank
every
day
or
about
2.8
million
visitors
annually
prior
to
the
pandemic.
AC
That
figure
was
9
600
visitors
a
day
or
3.5
million
annually.
Business
travel
has
not
yet
fully
recovered.
That's
due
to
the
ongoing
hybrid
work
policies
and
the
ability
for
meetings
to
be
virtually
in
2021
7.6
of
the
2.8
million
visitors
or
roughly
212
000
visitors
travel
to
Burbank
for
business
in
2018,
10.7
percent
or
374
000
of
the
3.5
million
visitors
traveled
here
on
business.
While
it
may
seem
that
burbank's
business
travel
has
always
been
stronger
than
the
leisure
travel
Market.
That
is
not
the
case
and
hasn't
been
in
the
past.
AC
Burbank's
business
travel
Market
comprises
10
percent
of
our
visitor
Market
in
Burbank.
There
is
also
some
crossover
in
both
segments,
known
as
the
Leisure
Market,
which
is
a
term
used
to
describe
travel
that
combines
both
business
and
Leisure
visitors
on
a
Leisure
trip.
Typically,
add
a
few
extra
days
to
their
business
trip
for
leisure.
This
was
evident
with
the
international
Travelers
that
we
recently
witnessed
at
the
Muse
Expo
event
that
was
held
here
in
Burbank
in
March
that
there
were
many
International
Travelers
who
were
extending
their
stay
beyond
the
conference.
AC
AC
There
are
multiple
factors
that
are
that
contribute
to
the
strong
tourism
industry
in
Burbank,
including
its
central
location,
to
Los,
Angeles,
a
dedicated
destination
marketing
organization
known
as
visit
Burbank
and,
of
course,
our
Hollywood
Burbank
Airport,
whose
passenger
figures
are
almost
completely
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
At
5.8
million
passengers
in
2022..
AC
AC
To
recap:
the
Leisure
and
hospitality
industry,
2022
occupancy
rate
was
73.3
percent,
which
is
above
industry
Benchmark
figures
we
had
2.8
million
visitors
come
to
Burbank
in
2021
visit.
Burbank
is
actively
attracting
new
visitors
to
to
fill
heads
and
beds.
What
we
call
it
through
sponsorships
to
multi-day
conferences
like
Muse
Expo,
as
well
as
funding
art
installations
like
the
newly
unveiled
Wonder
Woman
statue
to
generate
awareness
of
Burbank
as
a
destination
travel
is
picking
up
with
new
routes
at
the
Hollywood
Burbank
Airport
and
continued
investment
in
hotels
is
also
driving
our
Force.
AC
We
have
an
additional
four
hotels
that
are
under
construction
or
consideration
that
will
be
adding
a
total
of
877
rooms
to
our
inventory,
with
new
hotels
coming
online,
there
may
be
concern
about
oversaturation.
Burbank's
demand
has
historically
outpaced
its
Supply.
We
had
two
new
hotels
that
entered
the
market
in
2016.
occupancy
remained
above
76
percent,
despite
the
new
inventory,
proving
that
there
is
demand
for
new
hotels
in
Burbank.
Currently,
the
city
has
18
major
hotels
and
2569
rooms.
AC
We'll
continue
to
monitor
the
situation
with
subleases
and
activity
with
the
property
owners
to
attract
new
businesses
and
again
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
adaptive,
reuse
for
existing
businesses
if
it
becomes
necessary
and
if
it
becomes
feasible,
Citywide
office
vacancy
rates
have
increased
6.2
percent
in
the
fourth
quarter
from
6.2
percent
in
fourth
quarter,
2021
to
11.9
percent.
In
fourth
quarter
2022,
the
media
district
has
also
seen
an
increase
in
office
vacancy
due
to
the
sublease
of
weworks
and
the
addition
of
the
new
Warner
Brothers
second
century
project.
AC
This
is
creating
some
shifts
in
the
existing
office
market
and
the
media
District,
because
Warner
Brothers
is
consolidating
all
of
their
employees
from
multiple
Office
Buildings
that
they
have
in
Burbank
and
taking
them
into
the
second
century
project,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
creating
a
little
bit
of
a
shift.
The
only
area
that
has
maintained
a
stable
vacancy
rate
is
the
Magnolia
Park
area
with
a
2.8
percent
office
vacancy
rate,
so
office,
lease
rates
have
also
increased.
AC
This
is
not
typical
and
typically
the
case
in
other
cities,
because,
as
Supply
increases
demand
drives
prices
down
but
Burbank
is
is
unique.
In
our
office
Market
we
have
a
strong
office
market
and
even
throughout
the
pandemic,
there
is
a
continued
interest
and
demand
for
office
development
in
Burbank,
specifically
in
the
media
and
entertainment
industry
and
as
well
as
the
medical
industry,
as
we
stated
with
the
request
for
additional
office
office
and
medical
space.
AC
Our
sales
tax
revenues
have
surpassed
our
pre-pandemic
levels
and
in
2022
we
received
approximately
59
million
in
sales
tax
revenue,
including
measure
P
funds,
while
sales
tax
revenue
increased,
some
retailers
benefited
more
than
others
during
the
pandemic,
and
many
retail
and
restaurant
establishments
weren't
able
to
withstand
withstand
the
economic
downturn.
Most
of
these
establishments
were
replaced
with
new
emerging
or
more
established
Concepts
like
finis
Silver,
Lake,
Ramen
and
Mendocino
Farms.
These
are
just
a
few
names
attraction
efforts
and
business.
AC
Concierge
services
play
an
important
role
in
attracting
new
tenants
and
assisting
them
with
opening
their
businesses
in
a
timely
manner.
Many
spaces
that
look
empty
and
dormant
are
actually
leased
and
waiting
for
their
permits
or
construction.
Examples
of
these
are
the
former
Fuddrucker
space
and
the
former
Color
Me
Mine
space.
Both
spaces
have
been
leased
for
more
than
six
months
and
have
been
on
hold
because
the
tenant
wasn't
ready
to
move
forward
with
construction
or
they
haven't
submitted
updated
plans.
AC
So
these
are
areas
that
we
continue
to
assist
these
tenants
with
through
our
business
concierge
efforts,
but
on
average
it
takes
about
30
months
to
release
a
space
in
downtown
Burbank
and
about
12
and
a
half
months
to
release
a
retail
space
in
the
airport
District.
These
are
areas
that
have
the
highest
concentration
of
retail.
AC
Vacancy
rates
have
remained
stable
with
ups
and
downs
in
each
district.
The
only
major
change
in
vacancy
rates
are
noted
in
the
airport
District,
as
retail
vacancy
increased
to
8.5
percent
in
the
fourth
quarter,
2022,
due
to
the
addition
of
the
new
retail
space
at
the
Avion
project,
as
well
as
the
vacancy
that
was
left
at
the
HomeTown
Buffet
and
which
is
currently
under
entitlement
for
Amy's
Restaurant
and
the
closure
of
the
Fry's
Electronics
store,
which
has
since
been
approved
for
a
mixed-use
residential
project
called
Aero.
AC
Crossing
burbank's
restaurant
sector
is
also
included
in
the
retail
figures.
Restaurants
were
hit
hardest
during
the
pandemic
and
the
city's
efforts
to
create
outdoor
dining
and
provide
flexibility
for
many
struggling
restaurants
allowed
them
to
keep
their
doors
open.
The
economic
development
strategic
plan,
in
addition
to
the
specific
plans
for
downtown
Burbank
Airport
and
media
districts,
will
look
at
opportunities
to
extend
outdoor
dining
options.
AC
Our
retail
lease
rates
have
gradually
increased
since
2019
with
downtown
Burbank
commanding
the
overall
largest
rate
on
average
increases
have
gone
up,
25
cents
in
the
last
three
years
across
all
districts.
Magnolia
Park
continues
to
have
the
lowest
retail
lease
rate
when
compared
to
the
remaining
commercial
districts
in
Burbank,
with
a
rate
of
2.70
three
cents,
a
square
foot
in
the
fourth
quarter,
2022
compared
to
3.93
for
downtown
Burbank
Burbank,
has
proven
to
be
resilient
in
the
retail
sector
and
has
welcomed
many
new
retail
tenants
recently
and
even
throughout
the
pandemic.
AC
There
is
a
good
mix
of
national
retail
tenants
that
have
come
to
Burbank
like
Sephora
800,
Degrees,
Pizza,
Randy's,
Donuts
and
Urban
Cafe,
as
well
as
small
family-owned
businesses
like
ciderworks,
BB's,
Cafe
and
unincorporated
coffee.
The
ability
to
attract
a
strong
list
of
retailers
and
restaurants
is
a
result
of
multiple
factors,
including
our
Focus
attraction
efforts
and
concierge
services.
AC
While
the
retail
sector
is
evolving
and
online
sales
are
increasing,
we
must
continue
to
look
at
ways
to
allow
for
flexibility
in
zoning
and
allow
for
uses
that
may
not
have
been
previously
considered
retail
such
as
Wellness
facilities
or
urgent
care
facilities.
This
can
be
addressed
in
the
economic
development
strategic
plan,
as
well
as
the
strategy,
as
well
as
the
specific
plans
in
Burbank.
There
are
some
scattered
industrial
Flex
buildings
throughout
the
city,
but
the
highest
concentration
of
these
types
of
buildings
is
within
the
airport.
AC
District
Avion
is
a
fairly
new
60
acre
project
located
in
the
Hollywood
Burbank
Airport.
It
consists
of
about
17
buildings,
with
1.25
million
square
feet
of
industrial
office
and
hotel
space,
roughly
1
million
square
feet
of
that
space
is
industrial
and
has
already
been
leased.
The
remaining
spaces
are
for
class
A
office
and
some
smaller
retail
components.
AC
Industrial
vacancy
rates
are
the
lowest
in
the
city
and
have
historically
always
been
low.
In
fourth
quarter.
2022
industrial
vacancy
rates
were
two
percent.
This
basically
means
there
were
no
vacancies
in
this
category.
That's
because
many
entertainment
companies
are
utilizing
more
of
the
flex
creative
spaces
in
lieu
of
traditional
offices,
which
is
increasing
the
demand
for
this
type
of
space.
A
majority
of
these
industrial
buildings
are
are
occupied
by
entertainment.
AC
AC
However,
you'll
see
that
there's
a
slight
increase
in
lease
rates
in
the
industrial
sector
and
that's
because
of
the
addition
of
the
Class
A
office
space
at
the
Avion,
which
has
increased
that
rate
overall,
the
the
industrial
sector
has
remained
one
of
the
strongest
and
most
highly
coveted
spaces
in
Burbank.
Historically,
we've
had
a
one
percent
vacancy
rate
in
this
sector
and
there's
always
been
a
demand
for
more
industrial
Flex
creative
space.
AC
The
last
section
I'm
going
to
touch
on
is
housing,
so
single-family
housing
demand
seems
to
have
cooled
down
recently
nationally.
Housing
prices
have
still
increased,
but
at
a
much
slower
Pace
in
California
media
median
prices.
For
the
same
period
went
down
4.4
percent,
while
burbank's
housing
prices
also
decreased
by
18.8
percent
Euro
over
year
in
December
at
first.
This
may
seem
alarming,
but
our
median
home
price
sales
is
still
expensive
coming
in
at
975
000,
and
it
is
anticipated
that
the
housing
prices
will
rebound
the
long-term
price.
Growth
is
a
function
of
supply
and
demand.
AC
California
has
added
3.2
times
more
people
than
housing
units
during
the
last
10
years,
with
an
estimated
shortfall.
Statewide
of
about
3.5
million
units
for
a
bank
like
California,
has
added
to
the
short
Fall
by
not
building
enough
housing
to
meet
the
demand
in
2018
burbank's
jobs
to
housing
ratio
was
3.36
jobs
to
one
housing
unit.
A
healthy
jobs
to
housing
ratio
should
be
between
0.75
to
1.5
jobs,
to
one
housing
unit.
AC
AC
The
straight
the
state
has
created
bills
to
steam
line,
streamline
the
buy
right
building
of
housing
projects
in
California,
creating
additional
opportunities
for
developers
while
limiting
local
control.
Many
housing
developers
are
utilizing
these
measures
when
submitting
projects.
The
increase
in
housing
will
benefit
Burbank
by
helping
retain
employees
and
employers.
AC
When
speaking
with
our
large
employers,
they
have
stated
that
they
have
no
future
plans
to
develop
employee
housing
like
what
Lockheed
did
in
the
1940s,
because
they
are
able
to
recruit
skilled
labor
within
close
proximity
to
Burbank.
Large
employers
are
also
able
to
relocate
sectors
within
their
own
company
to
other
states
where
there
is
more
economies
of
scale,
more
labor
and
more
housing.
An
example
of
this
is
Disney
relocating
parts
of
the
imagineering
department
to
Florida.
AC
Why
is
this
important?
So
housing
runs,
are
continuing
to
increase
as
a
function
of
supply
and
demand
in
Burbank
as
well.
Between
December
2018
and
December
2022
rents
increased
for
each
type
of
unit.
Overall,
when
accounting
for
the
average
for
the
number
of
units
in
each
category,
rents
increase
9.94
over
five
years,
while
the
average
rent
was
2525
dollars
in
December
2022..
AC
Again,
when
we
look
at
our
average
household
income
in
Burbank,
the
average
household
income
in
2022
was
a
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
and
median
household
income
was
approximately
88
000.
between
2017
and
2020-22,
average
household
incomes
increased
35
percent.
On
the
surface.
This
seems
to
be
a
good
to
be
good,
as
household
income
is
growing
at
a
faster
percentage
rate
than
both
housing
prices
and
rents,
but
in
reality,
income
has
a
long
way
to
catch
up
as
housing.
AC
Affordability
is
still
Out,
Of
Reach
for
most
people
who
want
to
purchase
a
home
in
Burbank
and
almost
half
can't
afford
an
average
rental
price
to
further
discuss
affordability.
An
annual
income
of
just
shy
of
ninety
four
thousand
dollars
is
needed
to
afford
an
average
rental
property
in
Burbank,
assuming
that
30
percent
of
income
is
allocated
towards
rent
and
more
than
240.
000
of
annual
income
is
needed
to
spend
30
percent
of
the
household's
income
for
home
ownership.
AC
There
are
approximately
43
000
estimated
households
in
Burbank
and
of
those.
Only
47
percent
can
afford
current
average
runs
and
only
12
percent
can
afford
to
purchase
a
new
home.
To
summarize,
in
the
long
run,
it
is
imperative
for
Burbank
to
build
all
types
of
new
housing
and
all
levels
of
affordability,
and
particularly
Workforce
housing.
More
units
will
help
to
maintain
and
or
slow
increasing
rental
rates,
along
with
providing
more
options
for
current
and
new
Burbank
residents.
AC
One
of
the
largest
areas
of
focus
for
Burbank
revolves
around
employer
intention
with
such
high
housing
prices,
Burbank
May
price
itself
out
of
the
market,
as
media
companies
continue
to
grow
in
Burbank,
so
does
the
demand
for
the
workforce
housing?
If
we
don't
have
enough
housing
for
employees,
the
talent
and
Workforce
will
move
further
away
and
companies
may
not
be
able
to
recruit
as
easily
as
they
do
now.
AC
So,
as
we
have
shown,
Burbank
is
resilient
and
has
come
back
stronger
each
time
it
was
challenged.
As
Burbank
comes
out
of
the
pandemic,
some
threats
still
linger
and
will
determine
how
fast
our
economy
will
grow
and
if
there
are
challenges
along
the
way,
such
as
inflation,
a
recession
or
another
outbreak.
While
we
have
a
strong
base
of
nationally
recognized
large
and
small
businesses
that
help
keep
our
local
economy
growing,
we
must
also
continue
to
diversify
our
sectors.
Our
Reliance
upon
media
demand
and
growth
also
creates
the
risk
of
the
media
mark.
AC
It
also
creates
a
risk
if
the
media,
Market,
slows
down
and
or
other
jurisdictions
and
States
offer
substantial
enticements
for
companies
to
relocate
Burbank
must
continue
to
provide
and
protect
a
climate
where
all
businesses
Thrive.
Additionally,
it
is
important
to
maintain
a
happy
and
skilled
Workforce
by
creating
a
work,
creating
Workforce
housing
to
keep
companies
in
Burbank.
AG
Good
evening
normal
mayor
Anthony,
vice
mayor
Schultz,
council
members,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
in
front
of
the
dice
again
and
also
to
staff.
It's
a
pleasure,
excellent
presentation,
it's
kind
of
like
a
nice
sort
of
advertisement
or
a
commercial
for
Burbank,
and
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
kind
of
point
out
was
kind
of
brought
up
and
I've
talked
to
a
few
people
about.
It
is
parking
and
charging
for
parking.
I
know
I,
heard
councilmember,
Perez,
say
wow.
That
was
a
lot
of
money.
AG
Some
City
collect
millions
of
dollars
and
I
am
conflicted
by
the
issue
of
paid
parking.
One,
as
a
customer
of
Bank
of
the
West
in
downtown
on
San
Fernando
is
almost
impossible
to
find
parking
in
the
coverage
structure
behind
their
building
and
I
had
a
talk
with
the
the
branch
manager
and
yes,
most
of
the
employees
do
park
there.
AG
But
I
also
have
to
say
that,
as
my
father-in-law,
who
moved
into
my
Adu
in
December,
we
have
been
having
a
heck
of
a
time
enjoying
going
to
all
the
restaurants
and
being
able
to
easily
park
around
and
not
have
to
worry
about
a
time
limit
or
the
stress
of
a
time
limit
on
some
sort
of
parking
issue.
So
I
would
add
that
free
parking
could
be
a
bullet
point
to
one
of
the
things
we're
recruiting
and
the
economic
development.
AG
Just
one
thing,
the
other
thing
that
was
mentioned
and
I
was
not
intending
to
talk
about
was
housing,
as
people
may
know,
I'm
a
Adu
provider
I
built
one
and
I'm
a
strong
embi.
So
yes,
in
my
backyard,
it
was
a
pleasure
to
have
Patrick
Prescott
sit
down
with
me
and
a
few
of
his
office
staff
and
so
I
enjoyed
that
and
we
talked
about
pre-approved
plans.
AG
It
was
also
to
a
little
bit
curious
that
the
planning
department
I
know
that
they're
very
busy
don't
have
a
lot
of
time,
but
they,
in
my
opinion,
took
a
cut
and
paste
process
grabbing
from
the
city
of
La
and
some
adopted
plans.
Some
of
them,
which
I
think
are
not
buildable
or
they
would
cost
a
half
million
to
a
million
dollars
to
build
so
I
think
there
are
developers
they're
designers.
There
are
contractors
that
have
plans
that
have
been
into
and
been
approved
with
the
city
and
that
are
in
people's
backyards
like
mine.
AG
C
C
AA
Thank
you
yeah,
so
part
of
Nick
and
I
or
Miss
sorry,
council,
member
shelter
vice
mayor,
Schultz
and
I.
We're
talking
about
this
presentation
is.
We
also
would
love
to
hear
from
you
the
three
of
you
as
well,
what
we
can
take
back
to
the
subcommittee
and
make
sure
that
we
are
discussing
so
some
of
the
things
that,
for
me,
my
perspective
on
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
That's
not
already
in
this
packet.
I
just
wanted
to
run
by
you
and
also
get
a
reflection
from
you.
AA
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
love
to
see
in
our
economic
plans
is
a
mention
and
a
focus
on
equity
and
looking
at
Equitable
ways
that
we
can
support
and
invite
traditionally
marginalized
groups
to
have
businesses
and
grow
their
businesses
here
and
highlight
them
and
other
Equitable
approaches
to
economics.
So
everybody
not
everybody,
receives
the
same
effects
of
economic
growth
and
so
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
that.
So
that's,
okay.
We
could
keep
that
going.
AA
Another
aspect
I'm
glad
it
was
mentioned
on
one
of
the
slides
here
about
slide
20
about
Leisure
and
hospitality
and
I
had
mentioned,
and
it
was
included
in
here.
I'm
really
glad
it
was
the
the
fact
that
our
our
community
is
so
rich
with
creatives
and
art,
and
culture
and
I
think
that
we
can
lean
on
that.
AA
A
AA
Those
are
three
of
the
and
that
includes
Transit,
available
ability
and
easily
to
get
around.
So
those
are
three
of
the
concepts
that
I
was
going
to
bring
I've,
been
bringing
to
the
subcommittee
meetings
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
something
that
was
in
alignment
with
the
rest
of
council.
AA
Y
Thank
you
great
points
and
I
do
I
do
agree
with
you
and
also
to
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
and
excellent
report,
presentation
and
I
know
you
guys
do
a
great
job
in
assisting
our
business.
Community
I
do
have
the
concern
over
our
empty
buildings
or
somewhat
that
we're
looking
at
perhaps
not
able
to
bring
back
as
many
staff
members
to
you
know
for
the
private
sector
to
come
to
the
offices
that
we
have,
and
that
is
a
concern
for
me.
Y
I've
talked
about
it
for
a
while
because
it
does
affect
our
entire
economy.
Does
it
affect
our
sales
tax,
our
travel?
So
it
is
something
very
important
for
me.
I
recently
read
in
the
business
Leisure
there's
at
least
four
buildings
in
downtown
L.A,
the
the
Brookfield
buildings
they
they're
bankrupt
and
there's
two
more
on
on
Broadway
444,
South
Flower,
so
those
buildings
are
all
very
much
shut.
The
doors
in
the
bank
has
taken
back
those
buildings.
Y
It
concerns
me
I,
of
course,
I
never
want
to
see
Burbank
going
down
that
path
and
I
would
like
I'm,
not
sure.
I
did
look
on
the
website
to
see.
If
we
have
this
information
or
service
on
our
website
to
make
it
easy
to
search
for
available
office
space,
so
if
we
have
on
our
website,
because
I
know
I've
been
asked
before
whether
by
Medical
Offices
or
just
people
who
want
to
come
here
and
do
business
with
us
and
I've
always,
you
know
turned
into
Marion
staff
to
ask
if
there
is
a
space
available.
Y
How
do
these
people
find
it?
Can
you
work
with
them
and
you
guys
have
always
been
very
responsive
of,
but
can
we
gather
data
to
collect
the
data
to
make
it
available
on
the
website
and
the
data
would
have
like
the
size,
the
location,
the
rental
cost
I
mean
there's
a
slew
of
things
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
it
on
a
website
and
then
also
this
would
assist
our
buildings
by
having
them
to
put
have
an
input
to
to
the
website.
Y
So
if
they
have
something
open,
if
they
have
open
space
with
the
square
footage,
the
cost.
Something
I
think
like
that.
Maybe
a
pool
of
office
spaces
that
we
have
in
the
event
that
somebody's
interested
to
open
a
business
and
then
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
looking
in
the
I
think
you
call
it
adaptive
approach
to
look
at
that
adaptive
approach
in
the
zoning.
Do
we
allow
maybe
make
a
parking
exception?
Y
AC
To
that,
I
can
respond
to
that.
Thank
you,
council,
member
Mullins
So.
Currently
right
now,
if
you
go
to
our
choose
burbank.com
website,
you
see
that
we
ask
you
to
either
call
us
or
email
us
if
you're
looking
for
site
selection
assistance,
there's
a
couple
of
reasons
for
that.
When
these
companies
call
us
or
these
businesses
call
us,
they
talk
to
an
actual
person,
we
guide
them
through
the
process.
AC
We
find
out
exactly
what
they're
looking
for
and
we
assist
them
in
what
type
of
area
or
what
district
we
think
that
would
be
most
beneficial
for
them
to
be
in
a
lot
of
times
when
businesses
don't
reach
out
to
Economic
Development
beforehand,
they
end
up
opening
a
business
in
an
area
where
they
may
not
be
as
successful.
So
we,
it's
really
important
for
us
to
again
build
that
relationship
with
them,
offer
that
additional
service
to
them.
AC
We
have
other
neighboring
cities
that
offer
search
engine
on
their
websites
where
people
can
go
in
it's
not
something
that
that
we
collect
as
data
it's
through
like
Loop,
net
or
co-star,
which
is
a
software
service
that
we
use
to
search
for
those
available
properties
and
they're
able
to
pull
that
data
out.
But
again
they
don't
have
that
additional
information
of
you
know
why
they
should
select
Burbank
and
not
a
different
location.
So
we've
toyed
around
with
that
option.
AC
In
the
past,
we
really
haven't
received
a
lot
of
comment
from
the
business
community
that
they're
looking
for
that
kind
of
research
engine,
because
again,
we've
been
so
responsive
in
speaking
with
them.
So
it's
definitely
something
we
can
do,
but
when
we
do
reach
out
when
they
do
reach
out
to
us,
we
do
pull
a
report
and
we
send
it
to
them
with
all
of
the
available
spaces
within
the
city.
And
then
we
follow
up
with
them
and
and
talk
to
them
about.
Did
you
find
a
location?
Y
Well,
thank
you
for
that
and
I
I
did
look
at
those
engines.
You're
referring
to
today
and
I
did
find
some
of
the
information
if
possible,
because
in
most
cases
people
are
don't
know
how
to
really
search
in
our
website.
I
mean
there's
several
different
steps.
You
got
to
go
and
look
for
that,
should
maybe
we
have
an
icon
somewhere
on
the
website.
This
is
looking
for
business
looking
for
office
space
click
here,
and
it
takes
you
to
your
contact
information.
Y
Z
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
and
for
being
very
thorough.
It
was
a
very
thorough
presentation.
I
just
want
to
make
a
point
to
our
public
speaker
and
our
commenter,
the
city
I
mentioned
was
Pasadena,
and
it's
about
260
000
that
they
make
in
revenue
from
paid
parking
and
I.
Do
want
to
highlight
that
Glendo
and
Pasadena
both
have
paid
parking.
It's
very
successful,
downtown
areas
and
Commercial
districts,
so
does
West
Hollywood.
Z
Z
So
the
other
thing,
aside
from
our
downtown
growth
here,
is
I'm
like
shifting
more
towards
the
entertainment
industry,
it's
kind
of
a
question
and
a
comment
to
y'all
and
your
presentation.
You
mentioned
that
we
want
to
look
at
diversifying
the
types
of
media
that
we
have
right
and
I
totally
agree.
That's
very
important
and
have
we
looked
at
you
know
some
spaces
for
ancillary
technology,
specifically
things
like
the
virtual
production
screen.
I
know
that's
very
popular.
A
lot
of
our
entertainment
partners
are
saying:
that's
the
future
of
the
industry.
AC
It's
not
something
that
we've
looked
at
yet,
but
we
have
again
in
our
discussions
with
the
entertainment
industry.
We
know
that
Ai
and
the
LED
screens
are
the
next.
You
know
the
next
thing,
that's
evident
with
the
MSG
Dome
that
recently
opened
in
Burbank
similar
concept,
and
we
actually
learned
that
monolith
Studios
elected
to
come
to
Burbank
because
of
MSG.
So
again.
Now
that
correlation
is
also
happening
with
the
support
industry
coming
here.
So
definitely
something
that
we'll
look
at
as
a
part
of
the
economic
development
strategic
plan.
Z
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
really
would
love
to
as
a
comment
encourage
staff
to
really
look
towards
towards
that
led
in
that
virtual
production
screen.
I
I
really
have
heard
our
partners
talking
about
it.
I
think
it'd
be
great
way
to
start
diversifying
our
our
media
presence
here
and
and
bring
more
jobs
in
that
entertainment
industry
that,
by
your
presentation,
wow
the
revenue
found
there
is
great
and
it
is
a
good
chunk
of
Burbank
that
works
in
that
sector.
So
thank.
AH
You
so
I'll
just
add:
councilman
Perez
is
Simone
McFarland
with
Community
Development
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
when
we
go
out
and
talk
to
all
of
these
media
companies.
So
one
of
the
questions
we
ask
is:
what's
the
new
technology
what's
going
on
in
your
industry
and
how
can
we
who's
building
that
technology
and
how
can
we
find
those
companies
so
that
we
can
try
to
recruit
them
to
our
area?
And
so
that's
something
that
we're
very
focused
on
with
the
AI
and
the
the
screens?
AH
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
told
is
the
screens
are
pretty
easy
to
obtain.
There's
a
lot
of
companies
out
there,
but
the
hard
part
is
getting
the
staff
for
that,
because
it's
such
new
technology
and
the
software
is
constantly
changing
and
so
to
have
the
training
facilities
to
do
that.
That
would
be
something
that
we
would
look
at
the
in
the
new
plan.
Z
F
I
I
just
have
a
couple
of
topics
that
I
wanted
to
cover,
but
I
wanted
to
start
with
a
response
or
to
pose
the
question
from
our
public
commenter
tonight.
I
know
that
there
is
a
call
by
at
least
one
to
look
at
our
pre-approved
Adu
floor
plans.
I
know
that
a
few
months
ago
we
put
it
in
place
a
pilot
program.
C
F
I
think
the
answer
is
zero,
but
I
can
confirm
offline.
Thank
you,
so
yeah
rule
number
one.
They
say
about
the
law.
Don't
ask
a
question:
you
don't
know
the
answer
to
of
okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
the
slides
in
the
order
that
I
saw
them
so
slide
number
seven.
There
was
a
really
great
display
of
some
of
the
recent
attraction
efforts
and
the
businesses
that
we
brought
in
this
is
going
to
be
a
mix
of
comments
and
questions.
F
My
comment
is
this:
we
have
a
lot
of
food
service
that
we've
brought
in
and
I
think
that's
terrific.
In
terms
of
developing
the
plan,
I
think
that
we
I
think
diversification
is
Key.
Food
Service
is
fantastic,
but
we
really
need
to
be
looking
at
other
Industries,
Green
Tech,
for
example,
and
what
we
can
do
to
regret
to
recruit
and
retain
businesses
of
that
of
that
nature.
F
I
also
wanted
to
ask
so
last
sorry
in
2021
we
repurposed
the
subcommittee
and-
and
we
had
I-
think
it
was
then
vice
mayor,
talamantes
and
council
member
Springer
meet
with
a
lot
of
stakeholder
groups
throughout
the
community.
As
part
of
our
economic
recovery
effort
is
the
feedback
that
staff
got
from
that
process
going
to
be
included
in
the
development
of
this
new
plan.
AC
We
can
look
at
that
as
well,
but
we
were
hoping
to
have
new
focus
groups
and
engage
those
same
groups
again
because
when
we
did
engage
with
them
during
the
economic
recovery
process,
it
was
during
the
pandemic,
so
things
have
definitely
shifted
and
changed.
So
we
want
that
New
Perspective
and
we
want
to
see
where
they
think
they're
headed
now.
So
we'll
look
at
the
old
data,
but
we
really
want
to
get
the
fresh
new
data
from
those
focus
groups.
Okay,.
F
That
I
think
should
at
least
be
the
starting
point
for
the
continued
conversation
going
back
to
the
slide
slide
number
eight,
which
was
labeled
retention
and
I
bro
I'm,
bringing
this
up
because
I
noticed
it,
and
there
was
a
quick
comment
on
it,
but
I
didn't
see
it
flushed
out
in
the
materials
sent
home.
My
understanding
is
that
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
had
approached
the
city
about
some
sort
of
expanded,
concierge
program
and
I,
see
here
on
the
slide.
There's
discussion
of
a
welcome
to
Burbank
program.
AC
AC
We
take
that
information
and
we've
created
a
marketing
piece
with
the
chamber
in
collaboration
with
the
chamber,
and
we
send
out
a
letter
to
the
businesses
welcoming
them
essentially
to
the
City
of
Burbank
I'm,
informing
them
of
the
resources
that
we
have
throughout
the
through
the
chamber,
as
well
as
the
economic
development
resources
in
the
city.
The
chamber,
through
their
Alliance
Group,
also
was
offering
new
businesses
with
less
than
25
employees,
free
membership
to
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
So
we've
loaded
that
idea
around.
AC
So
basically
it's
it's
just
a
welcome
to
Burbank
email
and
then
they
get
a
certificate
in
the
mail.
The
mayor
excuse
me
in
the
mail
that's
signed
by
the
mayor
that
welcomes
them
to
Burbank
again
just
Another
Touch
point
for
us
to
be
able
to
reach
out
to
them.
It
also
gives
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
an
opportunity
to
reach
back
out
to
them
in
the
few
sure
to
say:
did
you
receive
our
letter?
We
want
you
to
join
the
chamber,
so
it's
really
a
combined
effort.
AH
The
other
thing
that
I'll
add
is
that
the
chamber
changed
the
way
that
they
do
their
ribbon
cuttings.
They
were
charging
for
ribbon
cuttings
and
now
those
ribbon
cuttings
when
they
become
a
member.
They
do.
Those
and
another
thing
that
we've
changed.
Is
the
city
used
to
do
some
of
those
ribbon
cuttings
and
the
Chamber
used
to
do
some
ribbon
cuttings,
and
we
now
give
all
those
ribbon
cuttings
to
the
chamber,
because
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
them
to
recruit
new
members.
F
AC
So
we
have
a
database
of
about
6
500
emails
that
we
send
out
to
businesses.
One
of
the
benefits
of
covid
was
actually
creating
that
database
of
information
of
emails
to
be
able
to
send
out
that
information.
So
we
have
various
ways
of
doing
that.
So
we
have
the
6500
emails.
We
have
our
chamber.
We
send
out
the
information
to
the
chamber
for
their
membership.
We
send
it
out
to
our
downtown
Burbank.
AC
We
send
it
out
to
the
Magnolia
Park
Merchants
Association,
so
we
do
our
very
best
to
try
to
reach
as
many
businesses
as
possible.
We
also
again
have
a
lot
of
connections
and
and
relationships
with
a
lot
of
businesses
that
we
do
know
through
our
business
visits
that
we
meet
with
them.
So
we
can't
reach
everyone,
but
we're
doing
as
as
best
as
we
can
to
get
the
word
out.
F
Thank
you,
I
I
do
have
one
question
related
to
slide
number
34
and
35.
Now
this
does
touch
on
the
issue
of
housing,
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
word
the
question
in
a
way
that
is
relevant
to
the
market
forces
at
play,
so
in
slide
34
here
we
go.
Let's
see
if
I
can
do
it
slide.
34
describes
the
increase
in
in
rent
rates
for
different
units
of
housing,
Studio
bedrooms,
one
bedroom,
two
bedroom,
three
bedroom
units.
My
question
is:
do
we
have
and
then
on?
I
should
mention
on
slide
35.
F
There
is
a
comparison
of
that
increase
in
housing
cost
to
what's
described
as
an
increase
in
an
average
household
income.
Do
we
have?
Can
we
get
this
granular
with
the
data?
Do
we
know,
for
example,
of
those
households
who
live
in
a
rental
setting
as
opposed
to
a
a
home
ownership,
setting?
What
are
their
wages
looking
like?
Are
they
keeping
pace,
for
example,
with
rent
increases?
Do
we
have
that
data?
Is
the
question
no.
AH
F
Thank
you.
I
only
had
one
other
point
of
inquiry:
Mr
Mayor.
So
in
attachment
one
to
the
staff
report,
there
was
a
reference
to
a
targeted
jobs,
incentive
Fund
in
Miami-Dade,
County
and
I
I
recall
because
I
brought
that
up
last
year,
I
believe
with
every
item
that
we
asked
for
there's
a
city
manager
tracking
number,
that's
associated
with
it.
What
was
the
the
date
of
commencement
for
that
tracking
number.
F
So
this
is
more
of
a
just
a
comment
and
feedback
to
staff.
I
think
that
the
plan
that's
being
developed
or
will
be
presented
to
council
is
really
exciting.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleague,
councilmember
Takahashi,
to
help
guide
that
the
reason
I
brought
it
I
brought
up
the
TGI
targeted.
Sorry
tjif
is
that
it's
really
critical
that
when
we're
talking
about
Economic
Development,
we
are
targeting
the
industries
in
which
we
really
want
to
grow
to
diversify.
We
don't
have
enough.
We
don't
want
to
have
another
Lockheed
situation.
F
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
economy
is
resilient
and
it's
like
a
four-legged
stool.
No
matter
what
happens,
our
Industries
are
going
to
be
fine.
The
reason
I
bring
all
this
up
is
that
by
my
recollection,
that
item
was
first
referenced
about
a
year
ago.
It
started
actually
with
an
email
to
the
then
mayor,
Jess
talamantes
in
the
in
the
city
manager.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
it's
your
no
fault
of
Staff,
but
I
am
a
little
disappointed
that
it's
a
year
later
and
we're
only
getting
to
talk
about
this
now
I
understand.
F
C
C
AH
That
here
so
it's
it
sounds
easy,
but
it's
not
right.
So
we've
been
talking
to
some
of
the
developers
and
we've
Mary
and
I
were
at
a
meeting
last
week
talking
about
adaptive,
reuse,
specifically
for
Downtown
LA,
and
they
were
talking
about
some
of
the
buildings
and
how
hard
it
is
to
change
those
buildings
out
from
an
office
setting
to
a
say,
residential
setting,
because
they
just
weren't
built
that
way.
The
water
is
different,
there's
not
the
same
amount
of
pressure
that
you
would
need
for
water
for
housing.
AH
The
air
conditioning
the
air
cons
are
different
setup
differently.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
things
that
have
to
happen
to
create
that
adaptive
reviews
and
the
one
takeaway
that
I
think
we
came
back
with
was
that
the
values
of
the
property
have
to
go
down
low
enough
for
somebody
to
want
to
invest
enough
money
into
the
property
to
reuse,
that
adaptively
reuse,
it
and
rent
it
again:
okay,
okay
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
AH
It's
not
it's
not
going
to
pencil
for
a
while
is
what
we
we
were
told
unless
it's
something
like
a
bankruptcy
issue.
So
some
of
those
Bank
reps
upsies
that
went
through
La
those
buildings
will
be
sold
at
Pennies
on
the
dollar
right,
and
so
at
that
point,
then
it
may
become
feasible
to
invest
those
dollars
to
re,
to
do
the
adapted,
reuse
requirements.
C
AH
C
AC
The
best
solution
for
that
would
be
probably
the
easiest-
would
be
to
do
adaptive,
reuse
of
an
existing
office
building
and
convert
it
to
to
Medical,
because
the
office
component
is
the
same.
It's
the
parking,
that's
a
little
different,
so
that
would
we
would
have
to
look
and
see
work
with
planning
to
see
what
that
would
entail.
Again,
we
can.
We
can
do
that
during
the
economic
development
strategic
plan,
that'll
be
an
area
of
focus
for
us
and
the
plan.
C
Y
And
that's
really
what
I
was
referring
to
earlier
I
I
understand.
Housing
is
going
to
be
a
more
complicated,
but
if
we
can
help
Place
new
businesses
into
an
existing
business
but
change
the
actual
use
of
what
the
required
parking
and
other
use,
that
will
be
something
to
keep
us
afloat
and
keep
that
building
occupied.
T
Yeah,
so
so
I
would
say
to
the
mayor's
question
that
we
have
a
procedure
that
would
allow
that
to
happen,
and
there
was
some
interest
during
the
last
recession
in
one
of
our
media
District
buildings.
They
could
accomplish
that
through
a
plan
development,
as
long
as
it
was,
could
be
accomplished
under
the
general
plan.
There's
always
the
the
plan
development
procedure
that
would
change
the
zoning
to
the
plan
development,
okay,
short
of
going
in
and
revising
the
whole
code.
There
is
a
procedure
that
could
be
used
today
to
start
that
process.
Okay,.
T
There
well,
they
still
have
to
meet
so
there's
different
occupancy
requirements
and
to
miss
McFarland's
Point.
There
are
different
occupancies
or
different
standards
and
at
the
at
the
very
basic
mechanical
level,
for
a
structure
a
change
could
require.
You
know
substantial
modifications,
and
that
would
be
based
upon
the
occupancy
and
the
building
code
adopted
by
the
city.
So
so
it's
really
up
to
the
developer
to
see
if
it
would
be
worth
it
and
whether
it
would
require
a
discount
of
the
land.
T
It
sounds
like
from
this
very
strong
report,
we're
not
there
yet,
but
at
least
from
a
zoning
perspective,
there
is
a
procedure
on
the
books
that
could
be
used.
So
it's
not
it's
not
that
it
can't
be
accomplished
from
a
land
use
perspective.
It
may
be
more
challenging
for
the
mechanical
perspective,
all.
C
C
C
C
See
it's
not
even
worth
it
now,
I
feel
like
I.
Don't
want
to
do
it
now.
My
question
is:
why
did
you
crop
me
out
of
the
photo
I'm
right
on
the
right?
That's
okay,
see
totally
wasn't
worth
it
all
right.
This
is
a
note
in
file
if
we
could.
Yes,
that
was
my
whole
comment.
It
was
totally
not
worth
it
at
that
point.
I.
F
Got
I
got
one
Mr
Mayor
yeah.
What
do
you
got
actual
item
of
business
here?
No,
no
I
I
on
on
the
issue,
the
film
industry,
tax
credit,
that's
been
championed
in
the
legislature,
I
believe
that's
up
for
discussion
for
extension,
Mr
city
manager.
It
would
seem
to
me
that
would
fit
within
the
legislative
platform.
Have
we
put
forward
a
comment
letter
on
that.
R

AI
Good
evening,
mayor
Anthony
vice
mayor
Schultz,
Burbank
City,
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Daniel
Amaya
administrative
analyst,
with
the
public
information
office
tonight,
I'll
be
presenting
a
first
step
report
on
the
discussion
of
a
city-wide
Community
survey
regarding
commercial
cannabis
activity
in
the
City
of
Burbank.
As
requested
by
mayor
Anthony
at
the
January
10
2023
city
council.
Meeting,
the
City
of
Burbank
currently
has
a
codified
Prohibition
on
all
commercial
cannabis.
Slash
marijuana
activities
within
City
Limits,
meaning
cannabis.
Businesses
of
any
type
are
not
allowed.
AI
The
city
council
also
adopted
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
Burma
municipal
code
on
November
14
2017,
following
the
state's
approval
of
the
adult
use
of
marijuana
act
and
the
medicinal
and
adult
use
cannabis
regulation
and
safety
act.
This
was
done
to
keep
our
Municipal
Code
consistent
and
relevant,
with
changes
to
state
law
while
upholding
the
city's
prohibition
on
Commercial
cannabis
activity.
AI
AI
Tonight's
discussion
is
surrounding
the
potential
distribution
of
a
city-wide
Community
survey
on
cannabis
sales
in
Burbank.
There
are
various
types
of
commercial
cannabis
activities
such
as
retail,
storefront,
retail
delivery,
cultivation,
manufacturing,
testing
and
distribution
of
cannabis
or
cannabis.
Products
Incorporated
cities
such
as
Burbank,
can
decide
which
types
they
permit
or
prohibit
within
their
City.
If
Council
chooses
to
distribute
a
city-wide
survey,
the
council
may
choose
to
focus
on
specific
types
of
commercial
activities
with
the
intent
of
limiting
cannabis
activity
types
in
the
city.
AI
This
would
result
in
a
shorter,
less
detailed
survey
that
is
likely
lower
in
cost.
The
council
may
also
choose
to
distribute
a
survey
that
gauges
Community
interest
on
potentially
permitting
all
commercial
cannabis
activities,
resulting
in
a
longer
and
more
comprehensive
survey
that
is
likely
higher
in
cost.
Another
important
consideration
is
the
option
to
impose
local
cannabis
taxes.
Should
a
local
cannabis
tax
be
implemented
further
down
the
line.
AI
It
will
be
in
addition
to
a
15
state
tax
on
cannabis
and
cannabis
products
and
the
city's
10.25
sales
tax,
with
commercial
cannabis
activity
being
illegal
for
the
entirety
of
burbank's
History
city
council
may
choose
to
request
more
information
and
consider
Distributing
a
city-wide
survey
and
use
those
results
to
make
informed
future
decisions
in
regard
to
legalizing
and
regulating
commercial
cannabis
operations
in
the
city.
Council
may
also
choose
to
note
and
file
this
first
step
report.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
thanks
for
your
time,.
C
C
I
brought
this
originally
agendized,
because
I
would
like
to
find
out
more
and
in
finding
out
more
I
think
we
should
find
out
from
our
constituents
what
they
want.
There's
been
discussions
back
and
forth
about
what
the
community
is
in
favor
of
I
mean
we
can
go
back
and
look
at
some
of
the
the
votes
just
here
in
Burbank
when
cannabis
was
on
the
Statewide
ballot,
but
then
there's
also
comments
about
locally
I'd,
be
comfortable
with
the
more
in-depth
report
I'd
like
to
hear
from
my
council
members.
Oh.
Y
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
and
I
and
I
agree
with
you
that
it's
important
to
hear
from
our
community
and
to
see
what
they
want
and
what
we
should
be
looking
at
I
do
have
some
concerns
and
the
concerns
is
not
about
the
actual
subject.
It's
more
of
all
these
type
of
assignments
and
surveys
that
we're
putting
on
staff
right
now
to
do
since
it's
not
something
urgent
that
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
last
week.
Y
I
know
the
City
attorney
made
us
all
very
aware
of
the
amount
of
work
and
assignments
that
we
have
given
to
staff
in
relating
to
the
gun,
ordinance,
districting,
single
use
of
plastic
Rancho
master
plan,
San
Fernando,
one-way
closure
and
I.
Go
on
I
have
a
long
list,
and
we
were
all
told
that
staff
is
working
to
full
capacity
of
trying
to
get
all
these
projects
that
we
have
I
know.
The
vice
mayor
wanted
to
push
some
things
earlier
on
regarding
to
the
gun,
control
and
I
heard
the
City
attorney
loud
and
clear.
Y
Y
First,
let's
take
a
look,
our
gun,
ordinance
or
the
districting
I'm
just
concerned
that,
with
putting
all
these
things
out
there
for
the
community,
and
now
you
know,
the
districting
is
causing
a
little
bit
of
confusion
for
a
lot
of
people
as
well
and
concerns,
and
then
now
we're
going
to
go
out
with
another
survey.
And
so
if
we
can
agree
to
maybe
push
it
down,
I'm
not
opposing
to
going
out
and
conducting
a
survey
I'm
just
opposing
to
the
timing
of
adding
all
this
onto
everyone.
Y
C
AI
We
would
essentially
contract
the
survey
to
a
experts
in
the
field,
essentially
research
firms
that
have
done
this
for
years
that
have
worked
with
multiple
municipalities
on
specific
topics
such
as
cannabis
legalization
at
the
municipal
level.
So
we
wouldn't
be
conducting
the
survey
ourselves
we
would
do.
We
would
do
the
legwork
to
essentially
get
the
ball
rolling
on
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
distribute
the
survey
and
work
with
them
on
that
level.
C
G
C
AI
It,
ultimately,
It
ultimately
depends
on
what
the
council
wants
to
do.
We
can
take
our
previous
experiences
in
working
with
research
firms
and
do
a
sole
source
or
we
can
go
through
the
RFP
process,
where
we
receive
a
bunch
of
proposals,
and
we
ultimately
make
this
this
the
decision
from
that.
So
it's
ultimately
at
the
council,
discretion
I,
don't
really
have
an
actual
timeline
being
that
this
is
a
first
step
report,
but
I'm
happy
to
you
know,
bring
more
information
if.
G
G
AI
Z
Z
T
Yes,
I
mean
as
well
the
public
information
office,
which
I
believe
has
several
vacancies,
is
heavily
involved
in
the
districting
and,
and
they
have
to
you
know,
depending
upon
the
choice.
Actually,
our
procurement
code
presumes
competitive
solicitation.
Unless
it's
waived,
they
have
to
write
the
RFP
go
through
the
vetting
process,
stand
before
this
Council
for
their
recommendation
on
who
to
pick,
and
then
commission
and
oversee
that
work
as
well.
So
it's
it's
not
like.
They
can
just
hand
it
to
a
consultant.
Z
My
thought,
that
being
said,
you
know
I
I
just
want
to
put
this
out
there
to
my
colleagues
before
we
start
regulating
a
new
industry,
I
would
say
we
we
have
a
lot
of
things
on
the
table.
Let's
finish
regulating
some
of
the
things
we're
working
on
the
gun,
control
issue.
It's
huge
we've
heard
our
community
loud
and
clear.
That
is
a
priority
for
them
and
I
think
we
should.
You
know,
stick
on
that
on
housing.
C
Here's
my
only
concern
with
that
and
I
understand
that
it's
you
know
a
big
ticket
item
if
we
delay
12
months,
we'll
miss
the
opportunity
to
put
something
on
the
ballot
for
2024
on
attacks
and
the
reason
why
I
lead
with
that
is
because
there's
a
lot
of
Revenue
in
this
industry.
That's
going
to
surrounding
cities
and
for
me
that
price
tag
could
be
recouped
within
within
two
years.
Whereas
if
we
wait,
we'll
have
to
wait
for
another
ballot
time
which
would
be
2026
and
so
I
I
feel
it
would
be.
Y
C
T
Well,
the
tax
is
subject
to
vote,
keep
in
mind.
This
is
a
first
step
report,
so
you're
you're
not
actually
deciding
tonight
whether
to
commence
a
survey
to
start
X
date.
This
was
just
pio's
office.
Bringing
you
a
first
step
report,
whether
to
commence.
They
could
bring
back
a
second
step
report
to
talk
about
the
process
to
talk
about.
You
already
have
a
charter,
Review
Committee,
that's
kind
of
waiting
to
see
what
happens
with
the
districting,
and
then
they
have
a
survey
actually
to
send
out
on
some
topics
that
they
brought
to
you.
T
You
know
last
year,
so
there
were
all
there's
already
several
items
that
are
going
to
come
forward
for
probably
Charter
Amendment
at
a
minimum
by
next
march.
So
so
some
of
those
windows
council
could
give
direction
for
a
second
step
report,
because
staff
wasn't
really
prepared
to
talk
about
how
this
effort
would
synchronize
with
future
elections.
Tonight.
Y
Mr
Mayor
I
understand
there
is
the
concern
over
timing
and
elections,
but
bringing
back
still
puts
that
impact
on
what
we
have
just
mentioned
about
the
gun,
ordinance
and
indistricting.
The
districting
by
itself
is
a
really
heavy
work
to
be
carried
by
the
City
attorney
and
by
staff,
and
we
need
to
in
my
opinion,
we
need
to
focus
on
what's
really
important,
meaning.
Y
What
are
you
gonna?
Look
at
our
Charter
for
the
changes
for
districting.
This
is
very
important
to
the
community
and
to
us
as
well,
because
it's
going
to
impact
our
whole
entire
election,
the
gun
control
last
week
with
parents
here
crying
and
needing
some
action
from
us
to
take.
We
need
to
really
allow
staff
to
focus
100
and
for
us
to
focus
100
I,
just
if
this
was
an
urgent
matter
like
a
gun,
control
issue
or
something
that
is
happening.
Y
That's
going
to
impact
our
community
I
would
be
with
you
standing
there
saying,
let's,
let's
Jump
On
It
staff.
Take
the
time
to
do
it.
I,
just
don't
see
that
it's
an
urgent
matter,
because,
honestly,
there
was
no
emails,
pleading
to
open
stores
here
we're
looking
at
sales
tax,
but
you
know
we
don't
really
know
how
much
revenue
we're
going
to
get
out
of
the
the
sales
of
marijuana.
We
need
to
have
statistic.
We
need
to
look
at
crime.
We
need
to
take
a
look
at
a
lot
of
slew
of
things
and
I
know.
Y
This
survey
will
do
that,
but
it's
also
adding
additional
responsibilities
and
work
and
I'm
not
only
focusing
on
staff
I'm,
also
also
focusing
on
the
community.
The
confusion
that's
already
out
there
about
the
charter
changes,
that's
making
everyone
so
concerned,
and
what
does
that
mean?
How
are
you
going
to
change
our
Charter?
If
we
do
the
survey
and
we
come
back
with
answers?
Staff
comes
back
with
answers.
What's
going
to
happen?
Is
that
now
you
have
built
expectation?
What
are
you
going
to
do
with
that
survey?.
C
Well,
I
would
say
I'm
not
ready
to
go
for
a
survey
just
yet
I
think
that
should
definitely
be
waited
on
all
I'm
asking
is
for
a
second
step,
so
we
can
look
at
what
the
survey
is
going
to
tackle
timing
just
sort
of
flush.
This
out,
that's
all
I,
think
I.
Think
a
second
step
report
should
be
fine
and
then
we
can
figure
out
timing
afterwards,
that's
my
that's.
My
only
concern
I
don't
want
to
spend
30
to
40
000
right
now,
yeah.
AA
AA
You
okay,
so
the
tax
thing
is
a
new
piece
of
information
for
me,
so
I'm
trying
to
digest
it
a
little
bit.
It's
doing
a
quick
Google
search
to
see
if
I
could
get
any
information
on
what
other
cities
have
earned
in
their
taxes
and
weighed
against
the
cost
of
implementing
the
program,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
cost
not
just
to
do
the
study,
but
also
then
to
implement
a
program
and
adjust
things.
So
I
don't
have
that
data
in
front
of
me.
AA
So
it's
difficult
to
know
if
that's
even
worth
fighting
for
and
and
if
and
if
the
city,
just
as
an
example,
if
the
city
were
to
cap
the
number
of
Cannabis
stores,
let's
say,
for
example,
our
city
said
yeah,
we
don't
mind
having
Cannabis
stores,
but
we
only
want
to
have
five
similarly
to
how
we're
doing
maybe
potentially
gun
stores.
Well,
that's
only
five
businesses
where
taxing
so
that's
not
going
to
be
a
huge
amount
of
rent
Revenue.
AA
So
my
thought
is
like
we're:
not
La
we're,
not
a
large
city
so
having
a
we're,
not
going
to
have
a
huge
market
for
cannabis.
Even
if
we
do
end
up
allowing
it
that
might
be
worth
having
I
mean
the
taxes
Revenue
that
come
in
from
that
may
not
be
worth
this
whole
like
for
that
purpose
alone,
and
that
might
be
an
added
benefit
of
having
like
the
taxes
on
it.
AI
C
R
B
R
Z
Right,
just
just
add
one
more
thing
and
to
tack
off
something
that
councilmember
Takahashi
mentioned
in
in
cities
where
they
have
done
things
like
one.
You
know
like
five
Cannabis
stores.
There
are
lawsuits
that
have
come
with
that,
which
would
also
tack
on
more,
you
know,
say
more
work
for
our
city
attorney's
office,
so
I
I
hear
you
in
in
the
Lost
revenue
and
the
potential
lost
Revenue.
But
we
don't
know
where
that
is
right
now
and
I'd.
Z
C
Y
I
would
like
to
see
some
of
these
outstanding
projects
that
right,
in
assignments,
that
being
looked
at,
including
the
districting
and
the
budget,
and
all
this
out
of
our
way
in
the
city
manager.
They
have
a
running
agenda,
they
can
always
come
back,
I
would
maybe
revisit
beginning
of
the
year
or
right
after
we
understand
what's
happening
with
the
district
in
process.
Okay
may.
G
AA
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
really
have
an
objection
to
the
discussion
of
Cannabis
stores.
So
it's
it's
not
about
the
the
morality
or
about
any
of
that,
but
I
did
attend
a
at
least
for
me.
I
did
attend
a
webinar
about
implementing
cannabis,
retail
and
other
kinds
of
businesses
implementing
a
policy
for
City
and
at
that
webinar
the
mayor
of
Santa
Rosa,
was
there
and
and
mayor
described
it
being
very
enthusiastic
about
it.
AA
Don't
know
if
right
now
is
the
time
to
move
that
mountain
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
should
never
move
it
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
should
not
think
about
it,
but
my
My
Hope
Is
that
we
will
organically
know
it's
the
right
time
and
it
just
doesn't
feel
like
the
right
time
for
us
right
now
for
this,
but
I
do
think
it's
coming.
I
do
think.
Eventually,
we'll
probably
get
there,
but
right
now,
I,
don't
think
it's
specifically
the
right
time,
like
Santa
Rosa.
AA
One
of
the
reasons
why
they
were
so
urgent
about
in
other
cities
might
be
is
because
there's
actually
a
really
serious
problem
with
cannabis,
Street,
cannabis
being
laced
with
fentanyl
and
other
kinds
of
really
dangerous
drugs,
and
so
in
cities
that
that's
a
case
having
legalized
cannabis
stores
makes
it
easier
here
to
access
regulated
cannabis.
So
I
could
see
the
level
of
urgency
there,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
accessible
for
their
community,
so
they
have
less
of
a
street
cannabis
issue.
AA
Well,
because
we
are
in
the
LA
county
in
the
heart
of
it
and
that
we
have
a
lot
of
cities
around
us
that
do
have
that
available,
and
our
city
does
not
necessarily
mean
we.
All
every
city
has
some
level
of
issue,
but
RC
doesn't
have
a
high
level
of
issue
that
adding
Cannabis
stores
to
our
city
is
not
going
to
significantly
reduce
that
particular
problem
and
so
I
think
for
us
just
looking
at
the
urgency
of
it.
It's
not
an
urgent
thing
that
so
many
other
things
are
so
much
more
urgent.
AA
Can
it's
it's
on
our
code
and
I
can
give
you
the
links
that
we
are
not
legally
allowed
to
deliver
cannabis
into
our
city
and
that's
something
I
think
we
can
probably
tackle
really
quickly
is
to
because
to
that
we
already
assumed.
That
was
the
case
and
so
to
just
to
to
make
the
code
match
what
we're
okay
with
and
not.
Maybe
just
make
that
one
part
so
that
we
can
get
deliveries
so
that
we
can
have
access
to
it
in.
C
T
I
believe
our
ordinance
allows
deliveries
to
patients,
because
this
was
actually
written
before
the
legalization
of
recreational
use
from
care
providers.
So
it
was
written
out
of
a
concern
from
the
council
at
that
time
to
make
sure
that
for
patients,
for
which
there's
a
therapeutic
benefit,
okay,
they
were
able
to
get
that
from
their
whatever
the
type
of
provider
is
that
that
makes
those
referrals.
So
that's
allowed
I'm
not
aware
that
we've
had
any
enforcement
issues.
T
T
G
T
Year,
so
this
really
goes
to
the
point
that
the
city
manager
made
Council
had
a
very
thorough
discussion
of
goals
and
a
very
comprehensive
set
of
priorities
for
which
this
subject
was
not
among
them.
There
are
many
matters
that
we
haven't
yet
gotten
to
council
just
approved
the
receipt
of
1.8
million
dollars
of
Home
funds
to
build
a
project
for
which
we're
still
working
on
two
different
alternative
sites
and
need
to
engage
Architects.
T
So
there
are,
you,
know,
council,
member
Mullins
went
through
a
brief
list,
but
all
of
the
council
members
also
have
committee
assignments,
and-
and
there
is
a
the
city's
total
budget-
is
over
800
million
dollars
and
the
staff
are
on
a
daily
basis,
occupied
and
moving
those
forward,
all
of
which
are
in
line
either
services
to
Residents
or
your
other
priority
goals
like
housing
and
homelessness
and
all
of
those.
So
the
the
the
vote
to
move
this
ahead
is
really
merging
it
ahead
of
all
those
items.
T
So
it's
really
hard
to
say
it's
not
one
thing:
it's
not
just
the
districting,
the
districting
we're
working
within
a
safe
harbor
provision
of
the
elections
code.
The
Firearms
were
working
to
really
try
we're
under
a
moratorium,
but
we're
also
have
direction
to
bring
back
low-hanging
fruit
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
and
so
it's
it's
really
a
complicated
work
program.
The
redistricting
is
13
meetings
between
now
and
July,
from
at
least
three
different
departments
and
two
different
consulting
firms.
T
The
Firearms
is
I,
think
four
or
five
different
departments
we're
working
on
many
different
efforts.
So
it's
it's.
It's
a
little
more
complicated
than
sure
just
one
thing
or
another:
it's
it's
really
there
is.
There
is
really
a
comprehensive
set
of
projects
that
are
moving
forward
as
staff
are
available.
Mr
vice
mayor.
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
happy
to
weigh
in
so
I.
Don't
really
have
any
questions
for
staff,
but
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
do
have
some
comments:
Mr
Mayor
just
sitting
here.
Listening
to
my
colleagues
couple
takeaways
I
I,
don't
see
given
the
workload
that
we
have
placed
on
staff,
how
we
could
get
it
to
the
ballot
next
year.
I
mean
just
realistically
I.
Don't
see
that
at
this
juncture,
but
I
also
understand
you
understand
your
point.
F
My
understanding
is
that
we
could
have
an
ad
hoc
and
I'm
going
to
keep
it
really
narrowly
tailored
to
the
subject
matter,
which
is
an
approach
for
community
outreach
to
get
the
community's
input
on
this
issue.
I,
don't
see
why
the
council
couldn't
create
an
ad
hoc
subcommittee
for
a
definitive
period
of
time,
say:
report
back
to
council
by
the
end
of
the
year
to
explore
what
kinds
of
questions
that
we
would
want
to
ask
of
the
community
and
what
kinds
of
information
that
we
would
want
to
get
if
down
the
road.
F
G
Z
T
F
Mr
Mayor,
if
I,
can
follow
up
to
that
Mr
City
attorney,
please
correct
me
if
I'm,
if
anything,
I'm
about
to
say
is,
is
not
accurate.
Now
to
that
point,
if
two
council
members
on
this
body
were
to
decide
to
take
the
lead
and
say
we
really
want
to
use
open
source
information
and
study
that
issue
I
think
it
could
be
done
without
any
staff
resources
or
time
it
could
be
done
granted
I
mean
no
action
would
be
taken
by
the
council
unless
and
until
it's
reported
back.
F
That
would
be
number
one
and
the
other
thing
about
an
ad
hoc
committee,
provided
that
it
exists
for
a
definitive
period
of
time
and
has
a
very
specific
purpose.
It
is
not
subject
to
the
brown
act,
so
there
are
no
publicly
noticed
meetings.
I
mean
two
council
members
could
regularly
engage
on
that
subject
in
the
city
manager,
conference
room
for
example,
and
and
do
that
I
think
that
if
you
want
to
move
it
forward,
that
would
be
my
suggestion
is
one
way
to
make
progress.
Yeah.
F
Y
Don't
want
to
be
blindsided
to
know
that
what
does
it
mean
by
ad
hoc
committee?
Who
are
we
inviting
to
the
table?
What
type
of
questions
I
know
there
is
a
reason
we
go
out
and
conduct
a
professional,
not
that
any
of
you
here
are
not
professional,
but
we
do
conduct
a
professional
survey.
We
go
out
to
other
cities.
We
we,
the
survey,
will
dig
into
how
they
implemented
when
they
implemented
the
cost.
Y
Again,
I,
don't
see
what
the
urgency
is
to
go
and
move
forward
with
this,
when
we
already
have
a
long
list
and
you're
right,
Mr,
City
attorney
I
didn't
I
stopped
at
you
know
three
or
four
of
my
lists
here,
setting
the
expectations
and
saying
we
have
an
ad
hoc
committee,
because
we're
looking
in
this
matter
is
also
going
to
create
the
urgency
from
the
public
to
say.
Well,
what
have
you
done
when
is
this
coming
back?
When
is
it
on
the
agenda?
Are
you
going
to
implement
it?
Y
What
stores,
what
are
we
going
to
do?
Even
after
the
council
developed
the
ad
hoc
committee,
I
guarantee
you,
we
still
want
to
go
out
and
conduct
a
survey.
So
that's
still
going
to
happen
because
the
ad
hoc
committee
is
not
doing
a
survey
they're
just
talking
to
some
residents
they're,
you
know
hey.
What
is
your
feedback?
How
do
you
feel
about
having
you
know
the
Cannabis
shops
here
in
Burbank,
and
would
you
want
a
storefront?
What
do
you
want?
It's
still
going
to
require
that
we're
going
to
go
out
and
conduct
a
survey.
Y
I
absolutely
see
no
urgency.
I
have
no
emails.
None
of
us
have
received
an
email.
Nobody
came
here
tonight
to
say:
please,
please
I
beg
you
to
open
a
shop
and
therefore
I
don't
see
any
reason.
Why
should
we
take
on
this
additional
responsibility
in
making
it
happen
now
for
the
staff
and
then
also
it's
as
the
city
managers
say
we
never
talked
about
it
as
part
of
our
our
goals.
Y
We
have
set
goals
to
to
move
forward
and
we
we
gave
them
the
Baton
to
go
out
and
carry
those
goals
and
make
sure
they
make
it
happen.
Why
are
we
varying
from
our
goals?
Why
are
we
pushing
this
matter
tonight?
I'm,
not
really
sure
and
I
am
not
supportive
at
all
of
ad
hoc
or
going
out.
I
am
actually
pleading
with
all
of
you
to
allow
the
process.
Allow
us
to
go
ahead
and
complete
what
we've
assigned
them
to
do
already
and
the
community
not
to
confuse
them
with
all
these
things
are
going
on.
Y
F
Mayor,
we
sure
do
councilmember,
Mullins
and
I.
Think
there's
a
little
bit
of
confusion
that
I
sense
from
this
from
some
of
your
statements,
so
I
wanted
to
clarify
in
ad
hoc
subcommittee
at
least
the
way
that
I
would
Envision
it,
and
the
motion
that
I
would
make
would
have
a
very
definitive
purpose
and
that
would
not
be
to
conduct
the
community
outreach
or
engagement.
It
would
be
in
place
of
Staff
time
and
energy,
putting
together
a
second
step
report.
F
That
would
say
well
if
we
were
to
go
and
and
do
Outreach
what
questions
would
we
ask
to
the
community
instead
of
having
staff
work
on
that
I?
Think
two
council
members
could
say
if
hypothetically
a
year
or
two
years
or
five
years
down
the
line
the
council
were
to
engage
in
that
Outreach.
The
questions
we
would
want
to
know
is:
what
are
your
thoughts
on
Commercial
cannabis?
Do
you
oppose
it?
Would
you
support
it?
F
Well,
it
probably
would
just
be
the
two
council
members
and
they
would
just
say
that
in
discussing
it,
we
would
propose
that
if
and
when
a
survey
went
out,
these
are
the
kinds
of
questions
that
we
would
want
to
ask
the
public
and
what
we'd
want
to
know.
At
that
time
the
entire
council
could
decide.
Yes,
we
think
it's
a
good
use
of
Staff
time
energy
and
resources
now
or
they
could
similarly
say.
F
No
now
is
not
the
time,
so
it
would
have
no
drain
on
staff,
energy
or
resources
if
it's
done
in
this
narrowly
tailored
way,
and
the
community
can
certainly
share
their
input,
but
the
idea
is
not
to
have
a
subcommittee
that's
doing.
The
Outreach
is
to
ask
the
the
ultimate
questions
before
you
even
get
to
that
point.
What
are
we
going
to
ask
the
community?
What
is
the
Outreach?
F
The
other
thing
I
would
say
is
that
I
have
the
benefit
of
been
having
been
on
this
Council
for
two
years
prior
to
our
three
newest
colleagues
and
I
have
had
emails
and
had
conversations
with
folks
on
both
sides
of
the
issue.
Many
who
do
not
want
to
see
commercial
cannabis
at
all
in
the
City
of
Burbank
and
those
that
do
so.
Look
I,
I,
don't
really
I.
Wasn't
my
agenda
item
I.
F
Don't
really
have
a
strong
preference
in
place
of
it
either
way,
but
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
mechanism
to
move
the
item
forward
if
the
only
concern
is
Staff
time,
energy
and
resources
I.
Don't
think
that
that
is
a
deal
breaker
if
there
are
other
more
moral
concerns
or
other
concerns
at
issue
here
then
I
think,
maybe
that
you
know
that's
a
different
conversation.
M
Y
It's
okay,
I'd,
like
to
answer
the
vice
mayor,
I
think
I
I
was
definitely
not
confused
by
the
ad
hoc
committee
and
what
you
have
described,
Mr
vice
mayor,
is
what
the
survey
will
be,
the
people
who
will
be
conducting
the
survey.
This
is
what
they
will
Design
the
type
of
questions
that
will
go
at
with
some
directions
that
we'll
provide
to
staff
assuming
it
comes
back
on
second
step
and
that
the
that's
the
direction
we're
giving
staff
do,
we
want
to
see
storefront.
Y
Y
I
am
sure
just
like
I
have
I
had
a
ton
of
phone
calls
a
lot
of
emails
concerning
the
districting,
and
why
are
we
doing
it?
Who
approved
it?
And
why
do
you
need
to
approve
it?
The
community
is
getting
now
aware
of
what
we're
doing
with
districting
and
changing
our
Charter
and
there's
a
big
chaos
and
concern
to
know
what's
going
on,
we
need
to
let
that
take
place.
First,
we
need
to
let
the
gun
control
take
place.
C
And
we
don't
need
to
do
it.
An
ad
hoc
committee
wouldn't
be
public
at
all,
so
it
would
be
two
council
members
working
behind
the
scenes,
looking
up
doing
the
Google
searches
of
how
the
taxes
work
and
what
it
would
cost
and
what
other
cities
are
doing.
I
mean
you
know
something
that
we
can't
do
in
a
quick
five
minute
setup.
So
if
it's
okay
I'd
entertain
a
motion.
F
Z
Keep
it
short
and
sweet.
My
bottom
line
is
staff's
time
and
diverting
staff
from
what
they're
working
on
to
council
member's
point.
If
two
of
us
want
to
embark
on
that
journey
by
all
means
have
have
fun
and
come
back
to
us
with
a
memo,
I
think
it's
it's
finding
it
a
different
way
than
than
using
those
staff
resources.
I
think
then
we
can
make
the
decision
if
we'd
like
to
move
forward
with
it
or
not,
but
I
I'm,
not
in
in
the
business
of
like
stopping
my
colleagues
from
doing
that.
If
they'd
like
to.
AA
The
two
of
you
are
gonna,
for
example,
if
the
two
of
you
are
on
the
subcommittee
you're,
the
two
who
are
going
to
focus
on
Cannabis
stores,
and
then
we,
you
know
we're
not
going
to
talk
to
you
about
it,
you're
going
to
be
on
your
own.
You
know
kind
of
working
on
that
and
I
think
that's
that
kind
of
sort
of
happens
organically
anyway,
without
a
formalization,
where
a
couple
of
us
might
be
very
interested
in
a
topic
like
councilmember,
Perez
and
I
might
talk
about
because
we're
both
a
sustainability
liaison.
AA
So
so
she
and
I
may
be
talking
about
sustainability
issues
and
then
one
of
the
other
council
members
will
say.
Oh
have
you
been
talking
about
that?
Oh
yeah
Miss,
president
I
have
been
already
so
that's
already
kind
of
happening.
So
this
sounds
to
me
like
this
is
an
issue
that's
very
important
to
you
and
that
vice
mayor
is
willing
to
partner
with
you
on
that
and
I.
Don't
see
any
problem
necessarily
with
that
as
long
as
it
doesn't
come
with
any
super
expectations
of.
AA
Y
R
F
Mayor
I'll
try
to
make
my
motion
as
clear
as
I
can
for
the
benefit
of
the
public
and
everyone
involved.
So
the
motion
would
be
as
follows:
to
create
an
ad
hoc
subcommittee
of
the
Burbank
City
Council,
comprised
of
Mayor
Anthony
and
myself.
The
ad
hoc
would
exist
for
no
more
than
12
months
or
one
year
period
in
time
and
before
the
end
of
that
period,
the
subcommittee,
which
would
not
be
staffed.
So
there
would
be
no
staff
assignment
or
resources
dedicated
to
the
subcommittee
would
be
responsible
for
reporting
back
to
the
council.
F
I'll
say
preferably
in
written
form,
but
verbal
report
would
probably
be
okay
as
well,
and
the
scope
of
the
committee's
work
would
be
to
look
at
if
and
when
the
council
were
to
explore
the
issue
of
commercial
cannabis.
What
would
be
the
questions
that
we
would
want
to
pose
to
the
community
at
large
I'd
like.
F
T
So
just
to
be
clear,
so
this
is
a
note
and
file
of
Staff
staff's
report
and
staff
is
to
not
take
any
further
action
on
this
subject.
Yes,
until
the
item
is
brought
back
with
a
subcommittee,
an
ad
hoc
subcommittee
report
to
the
council:
well
right,
I'm,
just
I'm
I'm
putting
a
little
bit
of
dressing
around
what.
T
C
H
H
Council
directed
staff
to
return
with
the
option
of
a
moment
of
reflection
and
a
draft
script
for
Council
consideration
included
in
the
staff
report
before
you
is
attachment
one-
and
this
is
a
draft
script
for
the
moment
of
reflection
for
your
review.
If
Council
chooses
to
direct
staff
to
update
the
city
council
meeting
agenda
with
the
removal
of
the
invocation
period
and
approve
the
script
for
the
moment
of
reflection,
the
change
will
be
effective
at
the
next
council
meeting,
scheduled
for
next
Tuesday
April
11th.
H
Z
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
work
on
this.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
back
and
and
for
indulging
us
last
time.
We
talked
about
this
for
a
long
time,
given
that
we
talked
about
this
for
a
long
time
last
time,
I
have
no
problem
with
what
staff
has
brought
before
us.
I
think
the
moment
of
reflection
sounds
great
and
I
with
my
colleagues.
Have
no
issue
I'd
be
willing
to
make
a
motion
to
to
have
our
moment
of
reflection.

F
Mayor
Thursday
March
30th
I
had
the
privilege
of
stepping
in
your
shoes
and
presenting
a
certificate
of
recognition
to
La
Providencia
Guild
of
Children's
Hospital
Los
Angeles,
Thrift
Shop
grand
reopening
ribbon
cutting
that's
a
mouthful,
but
it
was
a
really
lovely
event
and
I'm
glad
to
see
them
reopened
again
and
then,
of
course,
as
we're
all
going
to
say
today
we
were
there
on
the
Warner
Brothers
lot
to
celebrate
the
100th
anniversary
and
we
all
got
these
really
neat
pins
to
commemorate
the
day.
So
that's
all
I
have
Mr
Mayor
yeah.
Z
Y
Z
AA
Right
so
on
Wednesday
March,
29th
I
attended
the
national
league
of
cities,
modern
webinar,
on
City
modernization
processes,
so
they
had.
Several
cities
talked
about
modernization
and
basically
I
was
like
yeah
burbank's,
already
done.
That
burbank's
already
done
that
so
I
was
pretty
happy
to
to
see
that
we're
way
ahead
of
a
lot
of
the
other
cities
there.
So
that
was
a
good
good
webinar
that
same
day,
I
also
went
to
assembly,
Friedman's,
virtual
town
hall
and
I'm,
trying
to
remember
what
the
topic
of
it
was
now.
AA
Oh,
my
gosh,
it's
been
like
a
week,
but
I
went
to
that,
and
that
was
good.
Yes,
homelessness
on
women.
That's
right!
Thank
you!
The
impacts
of
homelessness
on
women.
She
had
a
number
of
speakers
at
that
town
hall.
That
was
great,
got
good
questions,
see
April
3rd,
which
is
yesterday.
I
went
to
the
Burbank
coordinating
council
meeting
and
the
presentation
there
was
from
the
Burbank
Historical
Society,
so
that
was
great
and
I
also
renewed
my
membership.
AA
C
Right
great
I
attended
the
Warner
Brothers
thing
this
morning.
That
was
really
great.
I
met
with
Santa
Clarita
mayor
Jason
Gibbs.
He
is
our
representative
for
the
La
Casa
program,
the
LA
community
of
LA
County,
affordable
housing,
Solutions
agency
I,
expressed
to
him
stuff
that
we've
been
talking
about
here
in
Burbank
for
one
a
push
for
ownership
instead
of
rentals.
