mr.
mayor
City
Council
Councilman
dachshund,
my
name
is
Ahmad
Rashid
I'm,
the
president
of
the
round,
the
block
Club
one
of
Inglewood
largest.
You
know
I'm
just
here
to
say
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
men
for
attending
our
block
club
party
Saturday.
Before
last.
It
was
a
success.
We
appreciate
you
coming
to
visit.
I
applaud
what
you're
doing
with
the
city
right
direction.
D
C
E
Good
afternoon,
I
noticed
that
you're
in
a
big
rush
and
so
you've
even
limited
this
comment
period
with
the
budgets
that
will
take
us
through
the
entire
year
to
two
minutes.
How
pathetic
is
that?
Typically,
there
are
several
days
worth
of
agenda
that
cover
the
budget
by
department
and
you're,
limiting
it
to
lickety-split,
quick.
Let's
get
it
done
and
don't
even
let
the
public
comment
for
more
than
two
minutes,
along
with
the
other
twenty
items
on
this
agenda.
E
E
C
G
H
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council,
we
have
before
us
a
public
hearing
to
consider
modifying
our
marijuana
and
cannabis
regulations
for
the
city
of
Englewood
just
want
to
quickly
give
you
a
fast
background
on.
What's
occurred
from
a
legislation.
Standpoint
back
in
90
1996.
As
your
staff
report,
the
state
of
California
passed
a
compassionate
use
act
that
act
enabled
seriously
ill
persons
to
be
able
to
possess
cultivating
used
marijuana
for
medical
purposes.
H
It
did
allow
in
that
in
2008.
The
city
did,
in
its
wisdom,
allow
for
medical
marijuana
can
be
to
be
sold
or
dispensed
in
Englewood
from
inpatient
medical
facilities
such
as
hospitals
or
hospice
facilities,
and
all
of
those
subject
to
special
use.
Permit
approval
I
would
note
that
no
special
use
permit
has
been
forwarded
to
the
city
and
any
related
use
of
medical
marijuana
in
the
city
is
not
permitted
at
this
time.
When
we
skip
over
to
2016
the
adult
use
of
medical
marijuana,
Act
was
passed.
H
It
allowed
for
the
recreational,
a
personal
recreational
use
of
marijuana,
the
possession
of
up
to
twenty-eight
point
five
grams
of
marijuana
or
four
grams
in
concentrated
form
for
recreational
use,
as
well
as
the
cultivation
of
up
to
six
plants
on
residence,
Lee
residential
property
for
personal
recreational
use.
I
would
note
that
Prop
64
prohibits
the
smoking
or
ingesting
of
marijuana
in
any
public
place
and
while
driving
a
motor
vehicle.
It
also
prohibits
smoking
marijuana
where
smoking
tobacco
is
prohibited
and
within
1,000
feet
of
any
school
any
daycare
or
youth
center.
H
When
children
are
present
prop
64
in
one
of
the
important
aspects
of
it,
it
did
establish
a
state
licensing.
A
regulatory
process
for
commercial
marijuana
activities,
including
the
retail
sales,
again
cultivation,
delivery,
distribution
and
manufacturing
and
testing,
but
it
also
preserved
the
city's
ability
to
ban
outdoor
cultivation
and
to
reasonably
regulate
but
not
ban
indoor
cultivation
for
personal
use
under
Prop
64.
The
state
will
begin
issuing
licenses
for
commercial
cannabis
production.
On
January
1st
of
2018,
there
were
a
number
of
US
subsequent
acts
that
kind
of
framed
the
regulatory
environment.
H
I
won't
go
through
those
those
are
all
listed
in
your
staff
report,
but
I
will
say
this
particular
amendment.
That's
coming
forward
proposes
to
change
the
terminology.
The
new
terminology
of
marijuana
now
is
cannabis
and
that's
what
you
will
see
in
a
lot
of
the
regulatory
information.
So
we
see
a
shift
of
that.
Also
we
and
we
bring
our
code
up
to
in
cohesion
with
that
that
word
or
that
verbage.
H
Our
ordinance
would
maintain
existing
exemption
for
medical,
impatient
sale
and
dispensing
and
distribution
of
medical
cannabis
subject
to
again,
especially
use
permit,
and
then
we
would
allow
the
indoor
cultivation
of
cannabis
for
personal
use
in
concert
with
what
the
the
state
has
set
forth
in
this
regulatory
environment,
and
we
would
also,
in
this
ordinance,
prohibit
all
commercial
activity
associated
with
cannabis,
production,
transport
and
dispensing
in
all
zones.
Absolutely
all
zones
are
prohibited.
That
is
a
summary
of
the
stat
presentation.
You
have
the
staff
report,
as
well
as
the
support
documentation.
I
Afternoon,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Tracy
sawatari
I'm,
a
community
organizer
for
the
city
of
Inglewood,
from
Asian
American,
drug
abuse
program
and
I'm
speaking
today,
in
support
and
appreciation
of
the
city's
decision
to
modify
the
marijuana
cannabis
regulations
and
to
ban
commercial
sales
production
and
distribution
of
marijuana.
Speaking
as
a
parent
of
two
teenage
boys
in
a
facility
facilitator
for
a
substance,
abuse
prevention
group
over
at
Inglewood,
High
School
I
feel
that
it's
important
to
consider
the
youth
and
young
children
and
reducing
harm
when
considering
regulations.
I
In
addition
to
a
locked
space
in
the
home
where
marijuana
is
cultivated,
there
should
be
a
stipulations
on
where
the
processing
of
the
marijuana
plant
for
personal
use
is
located.
This
space
should
be
secured
and
locked
where
children
do
not
have
access
to
marijuana.
The
space
should
also
include
safe
storage
of
any
processed
marijuana.
I
Just
a
tidbit
of
fact,
an
experienced
grower
of
marijuana
can
produce
300
to
400
grams
from
one
large
plant
and
the
state
is
allowing
six
plants,
so
that's
quite
a
bit
of
marijuana
there
and
and
that
equals
to
a
year's
supply
for
even
daily
users.
So
I
would
also
like
to
see
that
the
city
consider
requiring
personal
cultivation
registration
per
home
to
track
and
mitigate
potential
problems
that
may
come
up
with
personal
cultivation
and
there's
examples
of
regulations
for
personal
cultivation
in
the
following
cities.
I
The
city
of
Fontana
is
requiring
a
permit
process
right
now,
and
the
city
of
Pomona
is
moving
toward
a
permit
process.
So
if
you
talk
to
those
cities,
you
can
see
what
they're
thinking
about
or
what
they're
doing,
I
feel
that
taking
steps
to
strengthen
regulations
of
commercial
cannabis
activity
will
help
to
maintain
the
safety
and
well-being
of
the
residents
and
youth
of
Inglewood.
Your.
J
K
Afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Carol
Almeida
and
together
with
Tracy,
sir
retiree
I
serve
as
a
community
organizer
for
the
asian-american
drug
abuse
program,
legalization
of
marijuana,
be
it
recreational
or
medicinal
opens
the
floodgates
to
easy
access
by
youth
increase
access
translates
to
increase,
use
a
nationwide
survey
72%
of
teen
teenagers,
whose
parents
use
marijuana
use
it
also.
Conversely,
only
20%
of
those
whose
parents
had
never
used
marijuana
had
used
it
themselves.
Latest
research
shows
that
every
day,
3287
teenagers
use
marijuana
or
cannabis.
K
For
the
first
time,
research
data,
b-day,
quantitative
or
anecdotal
in
nature
show
marijuana
posses
a
specific
risk
to
the
developing
brain
and
is
correlated
with
poorer
school
performance,
higher
dropout
rates
and
impaired
verbal
cognitive
and
attention
performance
in
the
evolving
science
of
addiction.
Research
findings
would
show
that
you'd
are
more
likely
to
become
addicted
to
cannabis
than
adults.
K
17%
more
while
adults,
it's
only
9%
youth
in
the
state
of
Colorado,
one
of
the
very
first
state
to
legalize
marijuana
youth
past
month,
use
increased
by
20%
after
legalization,
thus
making
the
state
of
Colorado
number
one
in
terms
of
youth
use
in
the
past
month,
all
stirred
the
Rocky
Mountain
poison
and
drug
Center
for
marijuana
exposure
increased
more
than
70
percent
from
the
time
of
legalization,
and
this
involved
children
below
the
age
of
8.
Today.
L
K
C
M
Couple
of
comments:
if
I
can
have
mr.
Jackson
approach
the
podium
in
your
staff
report,
there
was
reference
that
there
has
been
no
prior
public
comments
relative
to
this
item.
It's
my
understanding
that
the
Planning
Commission
had
a
public
hearing
on
August,
3rd
and
public
did
put
make
public
comments,
so
this
would
be
the
second
turn
around.
That's.
H
Correct
that
that
verbiage
was
meant
to
identify
if
we
had
received
as
of
the
publication
of
that
report,
anything
relative
to
the
hearing-
that's
coming
that
you're
conducting
today.
But
to
your
point.
Yes,
there
was
a
full
public
hearing
at
the
Planning
Commission
prior
to
and
they're
recommending
the
ordinance
to
also.
M
For
point
of
clarification
regarding
the
proposed
ordinance,
there
was
a
reference
of
the.
How
much
footage
would
have
to
be
from
a
school,
for
the
use
of
my
recollection
is
that
the
staff
report
said
600
feet
for
as
opposed
to
a
thousand
feet.
Are
we
now
imposing
a
thousand
feet
in
this
correct?
Finally,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
want
to
thank
that
mr.
Kent
Campos
and
your
staff,
mr.
Jackson,
for
your
due
diligence
on
establishing
the
language
that
we
needed
to
make
sure
it's.
M
We
had
some
teeth
enforceable
and
then
also
in
talking
with
the
city
attorney,
we
identified
that
there's
actually
in
our
currently
in
our
Inglewood
Municipal
Code.
There
is
a
fine
or
fees
that
we
can
impose
that
we
can
also
go
after
the
current
medical
marijuana
dispensaries
as
well
injure
ones
for
recreational.
Thank.

Evening
afternoon,
council,
mayor
and
council
I'm
here
with
my
team
today
to
present
the
fiscal
year
1718
operating
budget.
This
is
a
very
monumental
task
that
we
take
on
each
year
and
even
though
it
says
through
city,
manager's,
recommend
a
budget
I
couldn't
do
it
without
the
team
of
staff
that
helped
me
and
I'd
like
to
start
off
the
presentation
by
recommend
I
mean
recognizing
them
and
some
of
which
are
out
in
the
audience.
G
First
of
all,
first
and
foremost,
David
Esparza,
our
CFO
and
assistant
city
manager,
sitting
to
my
right,
kiona
buchanan,
who's,
the
senior
budget
analyst
who's
also
sitting
here
and
who
will
be
part
of
the
presentation.
A
new
member
of
our
staff,
I'm
Kenyatta,
Hinton
who's,
a
budget
analyst
who's
sitting
out
in
the
audience
there.
G
We
have
who's
our
deputy
to
the
city
manager.
We
have
Yolanda
Douglas,
SUSE
police
services,
analyst
a
Lewis
at
well
who's,
Apple,
of
course,
director
Robert,
Brayton
who's.
The
project
was
a
project
consultant,
Samuel,
Brown,
who's,
a
program
specialist
and,
last
but
not
least,
my
assistant,
miss
tonisha
Johnson
was
a
senior
management
assistant,
so
I
thank
all
of
them
for
all
their
hard
work
and
commitment
to
making
this
happen,
but
that
will
get
started
a
virtual.
G
G
C
G
G
A
A
G
G
O
G
All
right
add
some
humor
to
this
okay,
so
our
proposed
revenues
are
110
million
dollars.
Two
hundred
sixteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
our
proposed
expenditures
are
127
million
nine
hundred
forty
three
thousand
three
hundred
fifty
four,
which
is
leaving
us
with
a
shortfall
of
about
seventy
seventeen
million
dollars.
Seven
and
twenty
six
494
I'll
get
into
the
details
of
how
we
got
here
or
most
of
the
increases
are
due
to
costs
that
are
outside
the
city's
control.
G
One
which
is
within
our
control
is
the
salaries
and
benefits
line
item.
Currently
our
salaries
and
benefits
have
increased
because,
due
to
the
increase
and
mo
increased
costs
of
mo
use
on,
we
recently
completed
our
negotiations
with
the
police
officer
and
police
management
associations.
We've
also
attempted
to
restore
services
in
the
city
to
bring
back
additional
city
staff.
In
addition,
you.
G
G
G
The
next
item
that
is
contributing
to
our
shortfall
is
our
public
employee
retirement
cost.
According
to
the
California
Public
Policy
Center,
a
think-tank
in
Orange
County,
most
of
municipalities,
will
see
a
contribution
of
supers
nearly
double
by
2023
in
fiscal
year,
2016-17
local
governments
contributed
forty
four
billion
dollars
to
pers
the
city
of
Inglewood.
Purse
costs
have
increased
47
percent
over
the
last
five
years
and
are
expected
to
grow
53
percent
over
the
next
five
years.
Our
CalPERS
annual
cost
for
retirement
cost
for
1718
are
projected
to
be
twenty
million.
G
Our
healthcare
cost
of
also
increase
healthcare
expenses
continue
to
increase,
as
our
retirees
are
living
longer
and
it
claims
experience
for
our
active
employees
has
been
high,
has
been
higher
in
the
past
few
years,
which
caused
an
increase
in
premiums
paid
staff
is
currently
negotiating
a
new
provider
with
the
new
provider
in
an
effort
to
reduce
healthcare
costs
for
2017-18.
If
we're
successful
at
doing
these
are
doing
this,
our
our
cost
for
the
new
provider,
we
would
actually
save
about
3.7
million
dollars.
G
G
G
G
G
What
I'd
like
to
now
do
is
give
you
a
general
overview
of
some
of
the
increases
that
are
included
in
the
budget.
We've
added
eight
full-time
and
point
eight
o
full-time
equivalent
positions
with
within
the
mayor
and
council
division,
the
administration
department,
Human,
Resources
Department
and
the
finance
department
addition.
We've
increased
the
cost
of
training
and
contract
services
under
public
services,
we've
added
four
full-time
and
5.50
full-time
equivalent
positions
within
the
Public
Works
Parks
and
Rec
and
library
services
department,
also
increased
contractual
obligations
for
sanitation
services
and
your
water
pressure,
contract
and
homeless
initiative.
G
We've
also,
as
I
said
earlier,
added
staff
back
to
bring
our
library
hours
back
to
its
original
to
its
original
hours,
but
also
added
additional
expenses
for
complete
purchases
and
Public
Safety.
We've
added
three
full
nine,
three
full-time
positions
and
additional
expenses
for
the
public
computer-aided
dispatch
system,
which
is
known
as
cat
I
like
to
turn
over
to
David
Esparza,
to
go
over
some
of
our
overall
expenditures.
Q
I'll
be
presenting
to
you
our
fiscal
year,
1718
revenue
information,
the
total
citywide
revenues
for
fiscal
year
1718
is
projected
to
be
210
million,
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
dollars.
This
slide
provides
a
snapshot
of
the
citywide
revenues
by
fun
percentage
and
amount,
as
you
can
see,
52
percent
or
a
little
more
than
half
is
allocated
to
the
general
fund,
which
leads
us
to
the
next
slide.
Q
A
general
fund
budget
is
110
million,
two
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
sixty
dollars.
This
fly
provides
a
glance
of
the
general
fund
revenues
by
category
percentage
and
amount.
I'd,
also
like
to
note
that
our
fiscal
year,
2018
general
fund
revenues
are
seven
million
or
seven
percent
higher
than
our
fiscal
year.
2017
of
these
categories,
the
revenue
sources
with
the
most
significant
increases
are
within
as
noted
the
other
revenue
category,
which
includes
17.5
million,
an
additional
three
million
for
the
city
of
champions.
Q
Revitalization
project
revenues,
our
card
club
revenues
of
approximately
five
point-
eight-
is
an
additional
1.2
million
and
the
motor
vehicle
in
lieu
of
eleven
point
four
is
an
additional
six
hundred
and
thirty.
Three,
all
other
categories
had
moderate
the
stable
revenue
increases,
which
leads
us
to
the
next
slide.
Q
Q
Of
the
property
taxes,
they
are
estimated
to
be
17
point
7
million,
which
is
approximately
three
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
or
two
percent
higher
than
last
fiscal
year.
This
increase
is
largely
attributed
to
the
net
taxable
value
increase
of
five
point:
five
or
six
percent
on
the
assessed
values
of
all
taxable
properties
in
Englewood.
Q
The
sales
tax
revenues
are
projected
to
be
fifteen
point:
nine
million
in
fiscal
year
1718.
This
is
an
increase
of
three
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
or
three
percent
from
fiscal
year
1617.
This
increase
is
attributed
to
the
general
consumer
goods
category,
our
restaurants
and
hotels,
and
the
auto
and
transportation
industries.
Q
Q
Our
card
club
license
fees
as
like
2017
we've
added
the
card
club
license
fee
revenue
category
to
highlight
the
significant
increases
that
we've
had
over
the
years.
Our
card
club
license
fees
are
projected
to
be
5.8
million
in
1718,
which
is
a
1.2
million
or
26
percent
increase
when
compared
to
our
current
fiscal
year.
Q
This
increase
is
attributed
to
the
increase
in
the
number
of
gaming
tables,
with
the
reopening
of
the
Hollywood
Park
Casino,
so
we've
seen
growth,
significant
growth
in
the
millions
over
the
last
two
years
for
our
card
club
revenues
and
final,
the
revenue
category
I'll,
be
speaking
to
the
motor
vehicle
and
lieu
tax.
The
motor
vehicle
in
lieu
taxes
are
estimated
to
be
eleven
point,
four
million,
which
is
approximately
six
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
higher
than
our
current
adopted
budget.
Q
R
R
Proposed
department
expenditures
by
a
mountain
percentages:
here
again,
it's
the
that
same
amount
of
the
pie
chart
before
broken
into
the
various
departments
that
you
know
will
be
using
those
those
funds.
Now
these
are
total
expenditures.
So
you
see
the
police
department.
Public
Works
constitute
the
largest
shares
police
at
twenty
six
point:
nine,
the
public
works
at
twenty
three.
Twenty
four
point:
three
percent
of
total
expenditures.
Other
categories
are
Block:
Grant,
residential,
sound
insulation,
capital
projects,
city
administration,
information
technology
and
finance.
R
R
R
G
G
So
if
you
can
see
when
you're
doing
when
we're
doing
our
five-year
forecast
in
this
chart,
it
shows
that
we
will
have
a
shortfall
at
sixteen
million
dollars
for
1819,
a
shortfall
of
13
million
for
fiscal
year
1920
and
a
shortfall
of
16
million
for
2021
and
a
shortfall
of
18
million
dollars
in
21
22.
As
I
said,
these
numbers
are
very
conservative.
The
increase
in
expenditures
are
due
mainly
to
the
purse
costs
I
talked
about
earlier,
which
are
projected
to
more
than
double
in
the
years
in
the
next
five
years.
G
A
good
story
is
in
the
next
slide,
and
that
is
even
though
we
budget
our
projections
very
conservatively.
What
we've
shown
since
2012
13
is,
while
we've
the
council's,
approved
the
budget
with
the
use
of
reserves.
The
city
has
to
come
out
at
the
end
of
the
year,
with
more
revenues
than
were
projected
and
less
expenditures
than
were
projected.
So
we've
ended
fiscal
year,
12
and
13
13
14,
14,
15
and
15
16,
without
using
any
reserves
and
we're
currently
reviewing
our
1617
budget
and
I.
Let.
C
S
C
But
if
you
look
at
history
in
each
one
of
those
years,
we
actually
ended
up
with
a
surplus,
meaning
we
added
more
fun
to
the
general
fund,
an
obligated
balance,
and
so
it's
not
gonna
be
any
different.
In
these
outlying
years.
We
take
the
most
pessimistic
view
of
what
might
happen
with
our
finances
and
we
plan
to
plug
that
with
reserves
as
necessary.
That's
why
it's
important
to
have
a
robust
general
fund
reserve
in
case
things
happen
that
you
have
no
control
over
and
revenues,
don't
manifest
themselves.
C
R
Okay,
yes,
this
slide
shows
how
the
the
actions
by
the
mayor
and
council
have
replenished
the
general
fund
reserves,
and
you
can
see
that
you
know
in
fiscal
year
2010-11
we
were
at
thirteen
point
three.
You
know
we
had
a
modest
increase
in
the
next
year
on
and
on
on
and
into
2014-15
it
reached
as
high
as
forty
three
point:
five
million
dollars,
the
use
of
reserves
brought
it
down
to
twenty
nine
point
six
and
then
this
year
we're
projecting
it
to
you
and
at
twenty
three
million
dollars
in
reserves.
R
C
I'd
like
to
make
another
point,
structurally,
we've
been
balanced
most
every
year
that
in
the
last
five
years-
and
there
was
one
year
when
we
made
a
capital
expenditure
that
that
took
us
into
reserves,
but
the
reality
is.
The
city
makes
a
lot
of
discretionary
decisions
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
residents,
for
instance,
for
the
last
three
years,
I
believe
we've
been
allocating
an
extra
million
dollars,
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
outside
of
our
gas
tax
to
accelerate
the
replenishment
of
roadways,
particularly
in
our
neighborhoods.
C
We
have
a
roof
on
the
city
yard,
that
is
44
years
old,
and
it
is
leaked
for
the
last
six
years
and
we're
going
to
spend
a
million
dollars
to
a
few
points
that
straight
out
of
cash
from
the
city.
So
we
do
make
conscious
decisions
with
reserved
money
to
do
things,
to
accelerate
the
renewal
of
our
infrastructure,
to
do
things
that
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city
and
that's,
you
know
part
of
what
we
do
with
reserves.
I'm,
sorry,
mister.
R
That
takes
us
to
our
next
slide,
which
is
capital
improvement
projects,
which
is
exactly
what
you
are
talking
about.
Mr.
mayor,
you
can
see
in
this
one
how
the
capital
improvement
projects
are
divided
by
the
different
funds
that
the
city
receives
a
total
of
eighteen
point:
five
million
dollars
worth
of
capital
improvement
projects-
you
we
have.
You
know
the
different
ones
measure
are
a
lot
of
these
state
money.
There's
general
fund
at
3.6
million
dollars,
state
transportation.
You
know
HUD
CDBG
funds,
you
know
and
other
grants
that
basically
fund
those
capital
projects.
R
This
next
slide
shows
where
those
of
you
know
what
constitutes
those
project.
Eight
point:
eighteen
point:
five
million
dollars:
you
see
that
we
are
spending.
Seventy
four
thousand.
You
know
on
a
de
construction
facilities
projects,
there's
twenty
three
of
them
parks
and
open
spaces,
sewer
system
improvements,
sidewalks
and
walkways
street
lighting,
railroads,
roadway
safety,
streets
and
roadways.
Trent's.
It
stopped
improvements,
water
system
improvements,
you
know,
so
you
can
see
the
number
of
projects
as
city
is
undertaking
to
as
Public
Works
Department
and
the
total
amount
that
has
been
allocated
to
each
one
of
those
areas.
R
G
G
So
I
said
earlier,
we
were
gonna
talk
about
how
we
were
going
to
close
the
general
fund
gap
and
with
that
we're
gonna
use
eleven
million
five
hundred
twenty-six
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
four
dollars
and
serves
I
talked
about
earlier
we're
going
to
save
three
point:
seven
million
dollars
in
our
healthcare
cost.
If
we
Beslan
negotiating
our
our
new
healthcare
provider
and
then.
A
G
What
we
do
is
here
is,
while
we
budget
for
our
full
capacity
in
terms
of
the
staffing
needs,
and
we
know
that
certain
positions
that
people
retire
and
that
certain
positions
aren't
recruited
for
right
the
beginning
of
the
year
so
based
on
history.
We
know
that
we
will
most
likely
save
another
2.5
million
dollars
and
future
vacancy
savings
that
that's
our
gap,
closing
measure
for
1718
budget
and.
C
The
doctor
matter
is
baked
into
that:
11
million
dollar
forecast
use
of
reserves.
That
will
only
occur
if
revenues
are
realized,
that
their
projections
and
expenditures
meet
the
projections
also
baked
into
that
11
million.
There
are
discretionary
projects
that
we
choose
to
do
because
we
feel
they
need
to
be
done
now
and
financed
with
reserves
is
necessary,
for
instance,
the
million
dollars
to
repair
the
roof
on
the
service
center
to
protect
the
employees
from
possible
mold
infections,
half
a
million
dollars
to
start
purchasing
the
total
renovation
of
our
police
fleet.
C
T
We
hadn't
actually
used
them
correct
that
you
know
and
and
like
the
mayor
said,
you
know,
these
are
we're
basically
guessing
and
that's
okay.
Well,
it's
an
intelligent
guess,
but
just
to
paint
the
correct
picture
I
mean
the
city
is
actually
in
the
best
shape
sand
since
I've
been
here.
So
that's
that's
just
good
news
and
thank
you
guys
for
the
presentation.
It's.
U
Padilla
sorry
Thank,
You
mayor,
you
know,
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
it
is
refreshing
to
see
the
the
difference
that
a
day
makes,
or
a
couple
of
years
makes
here
in
the
city
of
Inglewood.
When
you
look
around
you
drive
through
the
city,
and
you
see
the
changes
as
simple
as
what
we're
looking
at
on
century.
Boulevard,
all
the
way
from
La,
Cienega
going
east
and
I
was
glad
I'm
glad
to
see
the
CIPS.
U
You
know,
specifically
in
my
district
when
we're
looking
at
sitting
out
on
La
Brea
and
all
these
type
of
changes
that
are
occurring
in
the
city
of
Inglewood.
You
know
it
takes
funding,
it
takes
money.
It
takes.
You
know,
financial
strategies,
you
know
on
how
we're
gonna
you
know
make
this
happen
and
I
want
to
thank
mr.
U
Esparza,
his
staff,
the
city
manager,
the
mayor's
office,
everybody
here
on
the
diets
that
works
together
to
take
a
look
at
how
we
can
get
this
stuff
done
in
a
timely
manner,
but
do
it
so
that
we
are
responsible
and
and
really
taken
into
account
our
financial
situation
and
it's
brighter
than
it's
ever
been.
So
thank
you
for
your
staff
involved
in
making
that
happen.
B
B
C
In
closing,
I
want
to
it's
very
important
that
the
council
and
staff
have
really
been
prudent.
Look
for
every
opportunity
to
maximize
revenues,
because
there
are
unexpected
things
that
happen.
You
know,
we
know
what
the
condition
of
the
streets
are
and
we
are
committed
to
accelerating
that
replenishment
process.
The
sidewalks
we
trim
our
trees,
but
sometimes
things
happen.
C
Is
we
found
out
this
year
that
pers
within
the
next
three
years
will
double
the
individual
city's
contributions
to
the
retirement
system
we
prudently
in
past
years,
and
just
as
last
year,
we
made
a
catch-up
payment
for
the
unfunded
liability
that
they
assessed
to
the
city's.
What
they
did
was
go
around
look
at
the
people
that
you
have
working
there,
looking
at
people
who
have
retired
and
then
they
said.
Oh,
you
have
an
unfunded
liability
portion
of
us
and
such
most
cities
took
the
payment
plan
and
they
spent
eight
hundred
thousand.
C
For
this
year
we
paid
ten
over
ten
million
ten
to
ten.
Was
it
ten
me
ten
million
for
our
unfunded
portion,
because
we
save
money
that
way
and
it's
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
by
doing
it?
That
way?
So
that
being
said,
and
what
I'm
getting
at
it's
important,
that
cities
are
looking
for
revenues
because
unexpected
things
like
this
happens
so
come
2020.
When,
when
our
purse
contributions
double,
we
will
have
our
stadium
revel
revenues
online
and
that
will
take
care
of
it
ostensibly.
C
But
we
have
people
in
this
town
that,
in
a
sense,
what
we're
doing
good
enough-
and
we
shouldn't
worry
about
getting
more
revenue
opportunities
for
the
city.
That's
why
we're
working
on
the
Clippers
ena,
because
we
don't
want
to
just
be
getting
by.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
comfortable,
that
our
city
is
ready
to
confront
the
unknowns
of
the
future,
and
we
have
people
that
are
foolish
enough
to
say
that
we
should
take
the
most
revenue
generating
possibility:
block
of
land
land.
That's
been
vacant.
C
For
twenty
years,
22
acres
has
been
vacant
for
over
20
years.
That's
generated
no
property
tax,
no
jobs,
no
sales,
tax
and
they're
foolish
enough
to
say
we
should
put
a
use.
That
is
not
revenue
producing
that
doesn't
even
fit
there,
and
so
what
I'm
really
want
to
make
clear
is
to
the
council's
responsibility
is
to
make
prudent
decisions
with
land
use
economic
opportunity
and
to
provide
public
safety,
and
we
do
that
and
we
take
it
very
seriously.
C
N
Thank
you.
Mary.
We
had
a
close
session
regarding
conference
with
the
labor
negotiator
for
the
city.
The
labor
negotiator
was

I'm
back

mr.

around
here

like
I,
said
earlier.
I
commend
you
guys
for
doing
a
great
job,
leading
the
city
in
the
right
direction
and
thank
you
for
continuing
on
vlog
part.
But
the
other
item
I
wanted
to
talk
about
today.
Was
you
kind
of
talked
up
on
it
with
the
budget
island
on
Crenshaw,
between
82nd
and
84,
it
looks
a
mess
and
as
I'm
traveled
throughout
Los
Angeles
County
I,
look
at
the
Hub
City
Compton,
a
beautiful
sign,
beautiful
flowers.
D
Soon,
as
you
come
off,
the
91
freeway
welcome
to
Compton
our
cheese
just
goes
right
down
the
street
here
in
Hawthorne,
and
you
know
it
kind
of
wonders
any
of
you
guys
even
driven
over
there,
because
it
it's
been
like
that
for
a
while
I
work
closely
with
the
councilman
on
getting
that
big
blue
sign
up
and
let
people
know
when
they're
coming
out
of
the
hood
and
into
the
wood,
and
we
want
to
beautify
that
and
I
took
over
two
years
ago
for
mr.
Burton,
a
local
celebrity.
If
you
will

About
our
coalition,
our
coalition
is
at
our
focus.
Our
focus
is
on
affordable
housing,
rent
control
and
tenant
protections
here
in
the
city,
I
haven't
heard
any
of
that
talked
about
on
your
agenda
and
I
did
hear
the
mayor.
Mention
that
it's
easy
to
talk
about
things,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
whoever's
paying
the
bills
has
to
bear
the
burden
and
I
agree
with
you,
man
Oh,
as
a
tenant
in
this
city,
I.
V
V
W
Am
reena
Granberry
from
district
4
and
I'm
here
as
well,
and
just
asking
yet
again
just
to
have
the
council
to
prioritize
housing?
You
know
it
is
getting
harder
and
harder
to
hold
on
to
being
a
resident
here
after
22
years
fully
invested
with
both
my
children.
Are
you
in
go
Unified,
School,
District,
schools
and
I,
hear
what
you're
saying
like
you
said
about
you
know,
generating
revenue
and
I
think
that's
great
and
I
love.
What
we're
going
with
the
city.
W
C
Going
to
be
purchased
and
and
I'm
gonna
keep
the
preacher
time.
So
what
you
totally
understand
the
land
that
we're
talking
about
that
public
land
that
was
purchased
with
FAA
money
way
back
in
the
day,
probably
I,
don't
know
about
two
hundred
thousand
an
acre
that
bet.
Land
now
is
valued
at
about
1.6
1.7
million,
an
acre
for
the
city
to
get
that
land
back
to
put
housing
on
it.
We
would
have
to
buy
it
at
today's
rate.
So
what
does
that
mean?
C
We
spend
around
38
million
dollars
to
buy
land
that
was
worth
about
2
million
when
it
was
purchased,
then
we'd
have
to
get
into
some
deal
with
someone
that
could
afford
to
make
money
putting
affordable
housing
on
it.
After
we
got
out
of
our
agreement
with
the
FAA
to
not
put
aircraft
noise
in
compatible
use
there,
so
the
city
would
have
to
come
up
with
an
air
of
38
million.
C
Then
you'd
have
to
find
somebody
that
could
make
money
buying
it
from
us
at
close
to
38
million
and
say
we
gave
them
a
subsidy
I
doubt
that
that
with
pencil
out
so
I
want
to
make
that
clear.
1,
there's
no
money
bland
being
given
to
anyone
for
the
city
to
obtain
it
back
would
beat
1
breaking
an
agreement
with
the
FAA
to
paying
a
prohibitive
price
for
that
land
and
3,
trying
to
put
sound
insulated
homes
on
an
area
of
land
that
we
had
purchased
because
nobody
wanted
to
live
there.
W
You
know
a
response
to
a
community
just
where
we
how
we
feel,
as
young
people
I,
actually
give
those
daily
lots
of
kudos
for
all
the
senior
housing.
That's
coming,
I
see
senior
housing,
we
have
a
whole
bunch
of
senior
housing,
we
got
it
on
Florence,
we
got
it
on.
We
got
senior
housing
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
just
feel
like
young
families
and
those
of
us
that
are
in
the
middle
trying
to
pull
ourselves
up
from
the
bootstraps.
We
need
a
little
bit
too.
We
don't
want
to
be
the
Forgotten
population
here.
L
Good
afternoon
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
name
is
Doug
Smith
and
I'm,
an
attorney
at
public
counsel.
We
work
with
community-based
organizations
and
affordable
housing
developers
across
LA,
County
and
I.
Just
want
to
quickly
follow
up
on
what
my
colleague
just
said
about
the
sale,
and
indeed
it
would
be
the
sale
of
land
for
public
good.
This
principle
is
actually
embedded
in
state
law
and
something
called
the
surplus
Land
Act.
L
That's
a
law
that
requires
cities
to
prioritize
the
sale
or
lease
of
surplus
land
for
affordable
housing
or
parks,
and
open
space
concern
that
Englewood
Code
sections
regulating
the
sale
of
city
land
appear
to
not
implement
or
adhere
to
the
procedural
requirements
of
the
surplus
Land
Act.
So
we
will
submit
a
letter
with
some
more
information
about
our
concerns,
but
we
want
to
just
encourage
full
implementation
of
this
law
and
urge
the
city
to
follow
the
surplus
Land
Act
requirements
in
the
disposition
of
all
surplus
land,
including
those
sites
that
are
being
considered.
X
All
right,
so
my
name
is
Yvonne
Figueroa
I
work
with
la
voice
and
also
part
of
the
uplift
Englewood
coalition
and
I
am
support
in
I'm
in
support
of
homes
before
arenas.
We
want
to
be
clear
that
we
are
not
anti
development.
We
are
advocates
for
responsible
community
serving
development
based
on
deep
input
and
resident
engagement.
We
have
developed
a
comprehensive
proposal.
We
would
like
the
public
land
that
is
being
considered
for
the
Clippers
arena
to
instead
be
used
for
true
community
investments
such
as
youth,
centers
senior,
centers
and
homegrown
business
incubation
centers.
X
We
have
been
told
that
the
sites
are
not
suitable
for
housing,
but
the
city
has
yet
to
produce
any
evidence
to
support
this
claim.
In
fact,
we
have
done
our
own
research
that
suggests
that
the
sites
may
be
used
for
housing.
We
will
speech.
We
will
speak
to
each
one
of
the
three
barriers
to
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Y
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Kathy
Debbie
I'm
part
of
the
holy
faith,
Episcopal
Church
and
I'm
here
with
uplift
Inglewood
in
support
of
homes
before
arenas.
I
want
to
follow
up
on
what
my
colleagues
just
said
about
public
land
and
the
potential
to
prioritize
that
housing
that
we
really
need
in
this
community.
It's
been
suggested.
These
sites
are
not
suitable
for
housing
because
of
the
zoning,
but
this
is
not
true.
While
many
of
the
sites
are
currently
zoned
m1l,
the
city
does
have
the
legal
discretion
to
change
the
zoning
when
appropriate,
to
support
housing
development.
Y
Engel
woods
adopted
housing
element,
expressly
contemplates
zone
changes
as
a
strategy
to
address
housing
needs,
and
there
is
an
actual
recent
precedent
in
the
city
doing
just
that.
The
Hollywood
Park
specific
plan
involved
an
ordinance
that
changed
the
site,
zoning
from
a
designation
that
did
not
permit
residential
use
to
a
new
zone
that
will
enable
mixed-use
residential
development
right.
Thank.
Z
Good
afternoon,
residents
of
Inglewood
and
those
before
me
I'm
a
refrain
from
using
childish,
banter
to
call
names
I'm
not
on
the
playground
anymore,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
am
Michael
with
the
Youth
Justice,
Coalition
and
I'm
here,
with
up
the
finger
wood
to
support
the
halls
before
arenas
I
want
to
address
some
rumors
about
these
sites.
It
has
been
suggested
that
the
FAA
grant
assurance
is
an
avocation
assessment
prevent
housing
on
these
sites.
We
have
found
no
reason
to
believe
that
is
true.
Z
First
of
all,
the
city
has
not
provided
any
actual
evidence
that
holds
this.
That
holds
this
with
truth,
so
we
did
our
own
research
as
well.
We
found
that
we
sample
grants.
We
review
sample
grants
assurance
from
the
FAA
as
well
as
sample
every
vacation
assessments.
These
sites
are
required
to
maintain
noise
compatible
land
uses,
but
that
does
not
appear
to
require
an
outright
ban
on
housing,
development,
federal
state
and
local
regulations
all
indicate
that
residential
properties
can
be
considered
compatible
at
the
65
to
70
decibel
range.
If
noise
and
scenario.
C
P
A
city
council,
my
name,
is
good.
My
name
is
leon
norris,
some
small
business
owner
also
part
of
the
Englewood
coalition
and
supportive
homes
before
arenas.
Since
we
now
know
that
with
political
will,
housing
could
be
built
on
the
sites.
We
believe
that
this
is
the
best
possible
option
for
Englewood
we're
facing
a
housing
crisis.
P
According
to
the
sinc
city
of
Englewood
zone,
housing
element,
38
percent
of
Englewood
renters
and
15
percent
of
Englewood
homeowners
are
overpaying
for
housing,
that
is
to
say
more
than
half
of
Englewood
residents
are
already
burdened
by
the
cost
of
housing.
Before
we
invest
in
any
more
developments
that
will
intensify
the
already
squeezed
housing
market,
we
need
to
prioritize
the
very
need
for
affordable
housing
of
our
city's
current
workforce.
P
AA
Just
last
week,
I
heard
from
one
of
my
own
parishioners
whose
rents
have
been
raised
yet
again
and
so
she's,
a
working
mother,
she's,
a
professional
college-educated
her
and
her
husband.
They
don't
know
how
long
they
can
stay
in
the
city
of
Englewood
and
they
love
this
community
and
they
want
to
support
the
vision
of
this
community.
AA
But
the
vision
of
this
community
cannot
continue
with
out
the
residents
that
make
up
the
city,
the
working
people
of
the
city,
and
so
therefore
we
urge
you
to
to
heed
and
to
sit
down
and
to
speak
with
members
of
our
coalition.
We
are
residents,
we
are
people
of
faith,
we
are
working
people
and
we
want
development
to
include
those
who
work
here.
Who
live
here
and
those
who
need?
AB
Can't
you
see
Jake
everybody's
talking
about
money,
money,
making
money
ends
over
offset
your
expense.
More
I've
been
screaming
money
money
since
day,
one
I
ever
got
up
here.
You
got
a
gold
mine
out
there
in
the
Veterans
Administration,
where
the
federal
government
is
keeping
their
money,
which
is
the
VA
money.
That's
tears,
your
housing
Mount
Ararat.
Whatever
on
the
dollar,
you
got
a
gold
mine
right
here.
You
wouldn't
have
to
hustle
for
damn
penny.
AB
If
you
listen
to
me
and
go
out
there
and
look
at
you
tell
me,
that's
the
federal
level,
everybody
telling
me
well,
that's
the
federal
level
what
we
can
do
well,
if
the
federal
level
can
come
down
here
and
tell
us
to
spy
on
each
other,
if
you
see
a
package
or
you
can
rent
them
space
that
snake
level
federal
whatever
so
$300
a
month
and
you
got
a
gold
mine,
you
penny
a
pension,
you
don't
know
you
don't
know
big
money.
When
you
see
it
right.
O
AB
C
A
O
Portable
housing,
Englewood
I,
both
gotta,
have
a
place
to
live
and
they
shouldn't
be
gouged,
but
in
previous
meetings,
seems
councils
addressing
that.
But
it
looks
as
though
that
also
the
land
it's
kind
of
like
a
non-starter.
If
we
have
to
pay
all
this
millions
of
dollars
per
acre,
we
gotta
come
up
with
that
and
still
call
it
affordable.
I
would
say
the
folks
that
are
you
know
pro
housing.
E
My
name
is
Diane
Zambrano
and
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting
you
called
me
a
liar
saying
the
budget
wasn't
on
the
agenda
and
guess
what
you
proved
me
right
again.
You
do
that
a
lot
and
it's
really
kind
of
sad
and
amusing.
At
the
same
time
now,
if
I
didn't
know
about
the
history
of
the
Housing
Authority
of
Los,
Angeles
and
David,
I
might
actually
believe
some
of
that
stuff.
E
But
I
know
and
read
the
Wendy
Greuel
study,
so
yeah
smoke
and
mirrors
and
fake
numbers,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
address
the
Brown
Act
violation
that
you
did
today
and
somebody
else
will
be
doing
that
later
in
writing,
probably
but
I'm
also
gonna.
Let
you
know
that
because
of
the
next-gen
aircraft
that's
coming
out
and
because
of
Ontario
and
all
those
other
things
that
laxen
and
Arzak
worked
for.
E
There
is
a
possibility
that
the
part
160
study
could
make
it
a
possibility
that,
in
fact,
those
homes
would
not
be
in
the
contours,
but
you're
gonna
rush
me
off
as
quick
as
you
can,
because
you
know
I'm
right
and
you
like
to
tell
people
for
hours
on
end
that
I
don't
know
what
I'm
talking
about,
but
I've
been
right.
An
awful
lot.
S
What
I
want
to
talk
about
is
this
so-called
farmers
market
over
here
on
Market
Street
I've
been
watching
it
pretty
close
for
the
last
four
or
five
months
I,
you
know
the
fruits
I
wouldn't
buy,
I,
don't
know
who
owns
it,
but
whoever
owns
it.
I
tell
you
I
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
contract
to
see
they
have
with
him,
but
whatever
it
is
I'd
like
to
see
it
changed
and
I
like
to
see
the
merchants
on
Market
Street
open
up
and
let
the
people
come
back
in.
S
J
C
B
B
The
other
is
I
want
to
thank
the
law
sans
ray
of
staff
and
Chili's
and
Molly
Higgins
and
Maria
Camacho
for
coming
out
to
warn
lane
this
morning
for
their
day
of
service,
I
was
out
there
and
we
put
in
some
real
work
today,
because
we
painted
the
front
of
the
school
put
in
new
plants
and
believe
me,
it
was
a
job
I'm
gonna
thank
God
staff
because
his
staff
was
out
there
taking
pictures.
So
it
was
a
wonderful
day
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
the
Rams
organization,
because
they
didn't
have
to
do
that.
B
That
was
something
that
they
volunteered
to
do,
and
they
did
a
great
job
at
it,
and
I
want
to
thank
Briarwood
for
invited
me
to
their
town-hall
meeting.
They
had
some
very
interesting
things
going
on
that
we
talked
about
and
about
this
I
never
say
anything
about
these,
but
that
is.
But
where
were
these
people
when
most
of
the
area
was
called,
the
bottoms
crime
rate
was
through
the
roof?
So
I've
been
here
long
enough
to
see
what
has
happened
to
Englewood
and
I?
B
Don't
know
how
long
you've
been
here,
but
Englewood
has
changed
tremendously
in
the
last
five
years
from
where
it
had
been
last
20
or
30
years.
So
I
guess
everybody
have
their
own
opinion,
but
my
opinion
is:
we
can't
do
any
better
than
what
we're
doing
right
now
and
it's
getting
better
every
day
and
progress
is
gonna
happen,
no
matter
what
we
do
we'll
say
once
it
starts
progress
is
that's
what
progress
is
and
a
city
moves
forward,
or
it
dies
as
simple
as
that.
So
thank
you.
U
You
look
at
our
budget.
Approving
that
you
know
we
we,
as
your
representatives,
are
getting
the
job
done,
we're
working
hard
and
we
work
seven
days
a
week.
We
are
committed
to
continuing
to
make
Inglewood
the
city
of
Champions
the
place
that
people
want
to
come
to.
Not
just
drive
through,
as
I
always
say,
Inglewood
is
on
the
move.
Inglewood
is
making
positive
changes
that
so
many
other
communities
around
us
I
was
at
an
event
over
the
weekend
in
Pomona
and
folks
up
there
are
like
you
guys,
are
on
fire.
U
U
U
No
more
thinking
about
you
know
the
past
and
the
issues
that
were
there
it's
about
Englewood
moving
forward
and
as
your
elected
officials,
we're
gonna
continue
to
make
decisions
that
are
best
for
the
city
of
Englewood
and
and
and
at
the
end
of
the
day.
That's
what's
important.
Each
and
every
one
of
us
is
to
make
those
tough
decisions
and
I
can
tell
you
there.
There
are
times
when
people
say
you
know,
hey,
you
know
and
I
get
it.
Not.
U
Everybody's
gonna
agree
with
you,
but
as
your
elected
officials,
we
do
what
we
believe
is
the
best
thing
for
the
city
of
Englewood,
not
just
today,
but
5
10
20
years
from
now,
because
we're
not
going
anywhere
we're
all
gonna
continue
to
stay
here
in
the
beautiful
city
of
Englewood.
So
with
that,
thank
you
and
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
week.
You.
M
Let's
say
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
raised
regarding
property
in
district
4.
I
just
want
to
hope
that
those
individuals
that
raised
the
concerns
about
that
property
do
their
homework,
because
for
the
last
several
decades
we
have
a
legal
commitment
with
law
and
FAA
on
not
having
that
area
for
housing.
Specifically,
we've
had
several
RFP
request
for
proposals
on
doing
land
use
at
those
sites,
we've
actually
tied
down
and
had
a
disposition,
development
rement
with
a
developer
to
work
on
that
site
and
it
came,
it
did
not
come
in
Lewisham.
M
Now
we're
dealing
with
a
chance
of
dealing
with
this
blighted
area,
the
city
and
the
Redevelopment
Agency
owns,
and
we
ever
received
a
dime
on
any
revenue,
we're
looking
at
zatia
those
that
talk
about
district
4,
think
of
the
Darby
Dixon
area
that
was
office
century
Boulevard,
that
was
saturated
with
the
number
of
apartment
buildings,
gas
stations.
Car
washes.
If
you
remember
those
areas,
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
that.
M
M
Those
16
acres
that
we
we
invested
in
has
proven
very
prudent
for
this
city
to
prosper,
which
continues
to
cause
other
major
developers
wanting
to
come
here
now
we're
dealing
with
billionaires
that
want
to
come
to
the
city
and
they're
willing
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
expedite
their
monies
with
this
council.
That's
on
board
with
that
are
visionaries,
and
our
mayor
and
council
has
been
extremely
positive,
was
long
visionaries.
In
fact,
I
we've
admonished
our
own
mayor
about
these
three
or
four
3:00
a.m.
4:00
a.m.
emails.
M
He
sends
us
because
he's
visionary
and
he's
always
thinking
outside
the
box
and
and
was
working
due
diligence
as
England
residents,
and
so
just
want
to
thank
those
that
came
to
speak.
Thank
the
residents
that
are
supporting
this.
This
council
and
and
most
important
I
want
to
thank
all
the
city
staff,
because
you
make
us
look
good
because
we
were
reaching
out
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
the
investors,
developers
and
long-term
residents
that
they
are
on
board
with
us
on
a
win-win
situation:
Thank
You
Vera
thank.
T
You
you
know
we
we
always
appreciate
the
comments
that
are
out
here.
There
are
obviously
becoming
more
common
in
regards
to
the
potential
Clippers
arena.
I
can
tell
you
that
that
the
only
real
connection
between
the
need
for
housing
and
rent
control
and
all
of
these
issues
and
the
actual
Clippers
arena
there
is
no
real
connection.
The
only
thing
that
exists
is
an
opportunity
to
start
that
discussion.
T
Okay,
I
get
that
I
get
that
there
is
a
group
that
perhaps
has
started
to
organize
in
terms
of
dealing
with
this
issue,
starting
that
conversation
in
terms
of
the
housing
and
the
rent
increases.
But
the
truth
is
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
this.
With
this
project
other
than
we're
connecting
it
saying:
hey,
there
can
be
housing
there.
That's
it
that's
it
there's,
no
real
connection
in
regards
to
using
it
for
a
housing.
T
If
you,
if
you
really
see
where
we're
looking
at
when
we're
a
city,
a
city
has
only
a
certain
amount
of
extremely
valuable
commercial
land
to
put
revenue
generating
businesses
on.
We
owe
that
to
our
residents.
We
owe
it
to
them.
We
need
to
use
that
specific
land
that
we
deem
valuable
in
terms
of
commercial
enterprises
for
that
purpose,
so
that
we
can
generate
enough
revenue
to
give
more
and
more
services
to
you,
our
residents.
T
Those
are
facts
now,
if,
if
anyone,
including
the
folks
that
spoke,
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
start
a
conversation-
okay,
let's
do
that,
but
to
suggest
that,
because
this
project
is
coming
in,
rents
have
increases.
That's
not
fair,
because
this
project
is
coming
in,
people
will
be
displaced.
That's
not
fair,
because
it's
not
true.
It's
not
true.
La
County
that
average
rent
is
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
It's
going
up,
LA
County!
We
still
are
below
that.
T
Okay,
so
those
are.
Those
are
facts
that
exist
now
in
regards
to
how
we
are
responding
to
that,
we
have
a
number
of
projects
that
we've
put
in
our
set
aside
money
for
the
housing
around
the
city.
In
my
district
we
spend
thirteen
point
four
million
dollars
on
the
project
that
region.
How
many
units
are
those
do
we
do?
We
recall.
T
C
T
Square
right,
245
units
245
units-
that's
in
the
past
few
years
we
broke
ground.
Alex
mentioned
it
on
a
project
again
in
my
area
in
regards
to
you
know,
seeing
your
house
okay,
there
will
be
40
units
there.
First
class
I
mean
the.
The
fact
of
that
matter
is
is
no
matter
what
we
do
in
terms
of
putting
in
money
into
affordable
housing.
It's
not
gonna
be
enough,
because
we
can't
put
a
dent
in
what's
happening
around
the
state
of
California.
T
We
will
do
our
part,
but
whenever
a
project
comes
in,
we
can't
leverage
an
entire
project
to
solve
all
our
problems
we'll
go
to.
So
in
closing
the
housing
discussion,
I
will
say
this
is
a
good
time
to
talk
about
it,
but
to
connect
it
to
the
project.
I
personally,
don't
see
it
now
in
regards
to
community
benefits
when
a
project
like
this
comes
out
and
I.
Thank
you,
I'm.
Sorry,
man,
when,
in
regards
to
community
project
benefits
agreements,
we
don't
do
a
good
job
of
touting
the
results.
We've
gotten.
T
We
have
some
of
the
best
benefits
in
terms
of
our
developments
for
jobs
that
have
existed.
We
currently
have
enough
going
on
in
terms
of
construction
work
where
I
know
they're
having
trouble
getting
enough
local
residents
to
work
there
and,
and
that-
and
that
goes
it's
gone
beyond
in
terms
of
the
forum
in
terms
of
the
day,
to
day
operations.
Those
are
things
we
can
discuss.
T
T
But
outside
of
that,
you
know,
that's
and
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
say
that
that
instead
of
celebrating
and
a
really
good
part
of
our
meeting,
which
was
the
budget
and
where
the
city
has
gone,
you
know
it's
kind
of
I.
Guess
we're
looking
into
a
window
into
the
future
of
when
you
have
more.
You
have
more
of
a
lot
of
things
and
that's
in
terms
of
opening
up
disc.
So
thank
you
all
for
coming.
Sorry,
no.
C
You
took
a
lot
of
things:
I
was
going
to
say
that's
great,
but
first
of
all,
I
want
to
tell
you
that
have
great
respect
for
people
that
organize
and
make
their
their
feelings
known.
That's
an
important
part
of
our
democracy,
but
I
would
find
it
unfortunate
or
specious
that
at
this
time,
at
this
place
for
this
parcel
of
land
that
now
becomes
critical,
that
a
42
halogen
can
go
there
and
nowhere
nowhere
else.
The
city
of
ingred
has
200
931,
affordable
housing
units
between
senior,
affordable
housing
and
section
8
vouchers.
C
We
have
more
affordable
housing
per
capita
than
any
city
in
the
South
Bay.
We
just
enabled
the
creation
of
a
housing
trust
fund
that
will
allow
us
to
accept
donations
from
developers
to
put
more
money
set
aside
to
help
us
with
our
affordable
housing
building.
In
the
last
five
years,
we
built
three
affordable
housing
developments
here
in
the
city
of
Inglewood
alone.
C
That
being
said,
we
can't
solve
the
housing
problem
for
Lally
County
here
in
Inglewood
alone,
and
for
anyone
to
think
that
we
could
build
affordable
housing
solely
on
that
land
and
it
would
only
go
to
ingred
residents.
They
never
heard
of
the
Constitution
United
States
of
America.
You
can't
discriminate
on
people
based
on
where
they
live.
You
can't
tell
people
only
people
that
live
in
anyone
could
live
there.
So,
let's
just
say
that
it
was
even
35
percent
of
it
was
affordable
that
wouldn't
make
a
dent
into
the
problem.
C
Let's
talk
about
the
correlation
between
rents,
raising
and
property
values,
raising
and
entertainment
districts.
Well,
here's
a
news
flash
and
here's
a
fact.
The
greatest
correlation
between
the
rising
property
values
and
the
raising
of
rents
in
this
county
traditionally
over
time
has
been
those
cities
where
they
have
access
to
mass
transit
where
mass
transit
comes
through,
the
land
becomes
more
valuable
because
it
becomes
more
business,
valuable
and
that's
just
the
fact.
C
We
haven't
played
one
football
in
the
city
and
won't
play
one
until
2020,
but
rince
have
been
going
up
here
since
the
end
of
2012
housing
guys
have
been
going
up
since
the
end
of
2012,
and
you
know
why,
because
the
Green
Line
is
coming
through
angle,
it
it'll
connect
us
to
the
airport.
You
can
come
from
the
valley
to
Englewood
without
setting
foot
in
a
car.
C
That's
reality,
people
that's
what's
going
on,
and
so
what's
happening
here
is
happening
everywhere,
that
has
access
to
mass
transit
and
to
say
that
the
city
should
take
22
acres
and
pay
in
excess
of
38
million
dollars
for
it
and
then
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
that
we
can
resell
it
to
a
developer,
to
make
affordable
housing
and
make
that
pencil
out.
I
believe
that's
about
him
economically
impossible
and
in
addition
to
that,
if
we
sell
that
land
to
a
developer
well,
it
would
go
to
the
FAA.
C
C
Are
we
really
trying
to
focus
on
the
issue
of
affordable
rents,
or
are
we
now
spending
all
of
our
time
trying
to
kill
a
project
because
I
would
tell
you
well,
you
know
the
gentleman
told
me
about
you
know
the
great
little
objective
and
I
said
never
had
before
as
I'm
concerned.
Never
happened,
it
would
be
the
biggest
waste
of
money
sitting
with
ever
engaged
in
and
the
city
has
wasted
some
money
in
the
past.
C
It
doesn't
make
economic
sense
to
take
more
than
half
the
general
fund
and
then
throw
away
an
opportunity
to
increase
the
general
fund
and
have
more
money
available
to
do
affordable
housing
projects.
We
need
affordable
housing,
but
we
don't
need
to
waste
opportunities
to
gain
money
to
help
us
fund,
affordable
housing
projects.
So.
