8-3-2021 City Council Meeting
A
B
D
Good
afternoon
on
honorable
mayor
city,
council
members,
my
name
is
ray
lawson
with
the
southwest
regional
council
of
carpenters.
My
comment
is
on
the
pla's
in
the
city
of
inglewood:
hey
it's
boom
town
in
englewood.
Right
now,
everywhere
you
look.
You
see
a
lot
of
construction
going
on
so
far
stadium
just
finished
up.
We
as
carpenters,
my
job
as
business
rep,
is
to
ensure
that
englewood
residents
stay
working
on
these
projects.
D
When
sulfite
stadium
started,
we
had
several
dozens
of
our
members
working
there,
but
once
the
project
was
completed,
they're
not
working
anymore,
they're,
not
able
to
find
work,
a
good
paying
job,
a
career
job.
What
happens
is
project
labor
agreements
are
limited
in
their
scope
of
working
and
their
ability
to
keep
inglewood
residents
working
full-time.
D
E
D
Work
here
be
able
to
afford
a
home
here
continue
to
work
here
with
all
this
construction
going
on
with
all
these
projects
going
on,
we
have
apprenticeship
programs
a
lot
of
the
contractors
that
are
working
on
a
lot
of
these
mixed
uses
that
are
going
on
in
englewood,
a
lot
of
the
building
and
construction
that
you
see
they're
from
out
of
this
area.
They
bring
in
work
from
out
of
the
inglewood
area
from
out
of
the
greater
la
area,
and
that.
E
A
C
C
E
E
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
members
today,
before
you
use
a
code,
a
zoning
code
amendment
to
modify
regulations
related
to
parking
for
major
event
patrons
and
tailgating
regulations,
and
this
code
amendment
for
your
information
was
recommended
for
approval
by
the
planning
commission
on
april
1
on
april
14.
2021.
E
E
F
B
E
E
Second
topic
of
this
code:
amendment
is
tailgating
currently
in
the
code.
It
does
not
address
tailgating
outside
of
the
hollywood
park.
Specific
plan
where
tailgating
is
permitted
by
wright,
but
outside
of
that
tailgating
is
not
addressed
in
the
code,
and
it's
anticipated
that,
with
the
start
of
the
football
season
with
fans
attending
that
there
will
be
a
desire
to
for
people
to
tailgate
within
the
city.
E
Tailgating
is
the
more
traditional
format
of
tailgating
where
you
have
individual
individual
parties
or
individual
vehicles
doing
their
own
tailgate
activity
on
a
site.
You
have
multiple
groups
and
then
a
tailgating
event
is
an
organized
tailgating
event
with
an
operator
that
brings
in
all
the
food
and
entertainment
for
all
the
attendees
to
participate
in.
E
Some
of
those
operational
standards
include
provisions
about
for
sounds
amplified.
Sound
would
have
to
end
when
the
major
event
ends
and
for
hours
of
operation,
the
tailgating
could
start
as
early
as
7
a.m,
but
no
earlier
than
four
hours
before
the
major
event
that
it's
associated
with
and
then
it
would
end
an
hour
after
the
major
event
has
ended
and
then,
in
terms
of
site
cleanup
that
would
need
to
occur
by
11
59
on
the
date
of
the
events.
E
B
E
B
E
A
A
C
A
C
Sir,
the
next
scheduled
matter
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
assessment
levies
for
the
darby
dixon
maintenance
assessment,
district
number
1987-1
for
the
in-town
maintenance
assessment,
district
number
1975-1
for
the
morningside
park;
asset
maintenance
assessment,
district
1974-2
and
then
for
the
inglewood
street
lighting
assessment.
District
1980-1.
A
A
H
B
H
We
all
know
where
it's
located
within
the
city.
The
district
was
formed
in
1986
to
provide
funding,
to
upgrade
the
main
and
maintain
existing
public
improvements
to
street
sidewalks
parkways
alleys
and
general
landscape
maintenance.
Street
sweeping
services
are
provided
once
a
week
and
the
maintenance
of
alleys
and
parkways
occurs
three
times
per
week.
H
Ph3,
this
item
is
the
in-town
maintenance
district.
The
in-town
maintenance
district
is
also
located
within
the
city
of
inglewood.
The
district
was
formed
in
1975,
at
the
request
of
local
business
owners
to
attract
customers
and
increase
business
patronage
and
provides
funding
for
tree
trimming.
Street
and
sidewalk
maintenance
sign
replacements,
placement
of
pavement
markings
and
in
incidental
improvement
activity
services
are
provided
twice
a
week.
H
Ph
4,
which
is
the
morningside
park,
maintenance
assessment
district
again
this
was
brought
by
the
property
owners
and
directly
it
benefits.
Only
those
property
owners
within
the
district
and
funding
is
provided
for
repair,
construction
or
maintenance
of
the
parkways
parking
lots,
medians,
decorative
lighting
landscaping
and
other
incidental
improvement
activity.
Services
are
provided
four
days
per
week.
The
annual
assessment
for
the
morningside
park,
which
only
affects
those
property
owners,
has
remained
generally
about
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
since
fiscal
year.
H
Ninety
two,
ninety
three,
the
expected
maintenance
cost
incurred
for
the
city
for
2122,
is
going
to
be
about
157
000
with
a
general
fund.
Subsidy
of
71
000
and
staff
again
recommends
that
this
remain
the
services
remain
unchanged
and
then
the
final
one,
which
is
ph
five.
This
is
the
street
lighting
assessment.
District
street
lighting
services
provided
entirely
within
the
city
boundaries.
H
The
fitting
of
existing
fixtures
energy,
efficient
lighting
along
main
corridors
landscaping,
maintenance
activities
are
also
funded
along
these
corridors.
The
annual
assessment
district,
the
amount
of
the
annual
assessment
district,
is
about
2.4
million
dollars
and
has
been
that
way
since,
not
now
that
the
levels
remain
unchanged,
and
that
concludes
my
report
for
all
the
districts.
Thank
you.
B
D
A
D
B
D
J
A
I
A
I'll
sit
down
and
I'll
wait
to
the
end
there
you
go.
Thank
you,
sir
appreciate
it
all
right
so
I'll
make
a
motion
modifying
and
or
approving
the
engineers
report
and
ordering
improvements
in
the
levy
collection
of
assessments
within
the
city
of
ingwood's
darbry,
dixon,
maintenance,
assessment
district
within
the
city
of
englewood
in
town,
maintenance,
assessment
district
with
for
the
morningside
park,
maintenance
assessed
assessment
district
and
the
english
street
lighting
assessment
district.
A
G
B
C
A
A
F
E
F
A
personal
and
economic
toll
on
the
city,
its
residents
and
local
businesses
with
persistent
demand
for
city
services
with
reduced
revenues.
In
recent
months,
the
city
has
engaged
in
budget
discussions
regarding
the
upcoming
fiscal
21
22
fiscal
year.
The
fiscal
analysis
undertaken
as
part
of
that
exercise
has
evidence
that
the
expenses
during
the
period
of
the
covet
19
pandemic
have
outpaced
the
city
revenues
in
increasing
severity,
specifically.
E
F
E
C
F
Number
one
is
to
increase
the
transit
occupancy
tax
from
fourteen
percent
to
fifteen
and
a
half
percent.
It's
projected
that
this
increase,
if
successful,
would
generate
approximately
seven
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
additional
revenues
on
an
annual
basis
for
the
general
fund
ballot
measure.
Number
two
would
be
to
increase
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
to
a
multi-tiered
approach.
F
This
potential
new
revenue
would
generate
approximately
3.5
million
dollars
to
the
city's
general
fund.
The
total
anticipated
new
annual
revenues
to
the
city's
general
fund
would
be
approximately
4.2
million
dollars
ballot
measure
number
one.
We've
identified
as
the
inglewood
community
services
protection
measure
that
one
is
for
the
trans
and
occupancy
tax
ballot
measure
number
two.
We
have
identified
as
the
inglewood
public
safety
and
essential
services,
and
that
one
is
for
the
increase
in
the
tiered
real
estate
transfer
tax
rates.
F
F
F
E
B
F
Is
collected
by
the
la
county
recorder's
office,
our
real
estate
transfer
tax
rate
has
not
been
updated,
since
nineteen
sixty
seven
and
on
average,
over
the
last
several
years,
the
city
has
a
collected,
approximately
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
real
estate
transfer
tax
in
this
chart.
There's
five
other
california
jurisdictions
most,
if
not
all,
have
a
higher
municipal
tax
rates
than
what
we're
proposing
here.
F
A
F
B
F
B
A
A
Occur
this
occurs
and
it
has
been
occurring
forever.
Yes,
but
it's
just
been
at
the
lowest
rate,
one
of
the
lowest
rates
the
county
allows,
and
so
what's
happening.
Is
that
this
it's
like
a
sales
tax
on
property
is
being
increased
to
be
more
competitive
with
other
cities
in
the
county.
Yes,
all
right
is
there
any
council
comment:
councilman
padilla
thanks.
J
Mayor,
no,
very,
very
good,
you
know
presentation
very
appreciative
of
that
information.
But
again
you
know
I
mean
the
mayor
made
it
clear.
You
reiterate
reiterated
you
know,
because
you
know
what
happens.
Is
the
the
community
thing
said?
Oh,
my
god,
my
property
taxes
are
going
to
go
up.
You
guys
are
going
to
make
me
have
to
pay
more
and-
and
I
we
just
need
to
make
sure-
and
I
know
we
will,
as
as
as
this
you
know,
begins
to
move
forward.
J
Those
additional
taxes
will
be
paid
by
the
buyer
and
and
the
the
person
selling
their
home
nobody's
putting
a
gun
to
their
head.
If
they
want
to
sell
it,
they
sell
it.
If
they
don't
they
don't
you
know,
but
if
they
want
to
reap
the
benefits,
let's
say
somebody:
that's
owned
their
property
for
years.
Great
opportunity
and
we're
not
trying
to
stop
that.
You
know
we're.
J
Exactly
which
a
lot
of
them
are
going
to
hit
that
mark,
if
they
haven't
already
all
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
to
where
other
cities
are
because
we
deserve
that
here
in
the
city
of
inglewood
right.
I
think
you
said
that
this
thing
goes
back
to
67
1967.
Yes,
you
know,
so
you
see.
Look
at
that.
You
know
we've.
We
haven't
done
anything
with
this,
it's
time,
it's
time
that
we
do
it
it's
time
that
we
move
forward
and
and
there's
no
time
better
than
the
present.
G
And
just
to
go
one
step
further
right
now
for
every
one
thousand
dollars
the
city
is
getting
55
cents.
Is
that
correct,
correct?
And
if
you,
if
there's
a
transaction
in,
let's
say
culver
city
for
every
thousand
dollars,
they're
getting
four
dollars
and
like
50
cents?
Something
like
that
right?
That's.
F
G
G
This
is
something
that
cities
are
addressing
across
the
state,
we're
actually
in
a
good
place,
because
when
we
came
to
staff
and
really
started
to
think
about,
where
are
our
avenues
to
start
to
see
revenue
streams?
This
was
one
of
them
and
it
was
one
of
them,
because
we
did
not
take
advantage
of
this
when
we
could
have
years
ago.
We
did
not
act
out
in
that
fashion,
and
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
use
this
moment
now
that
the
covet
has
made
its
impact
for
us
to
continue
our
growth
as
we
are
moving.
G
G
We
have
been
very
fortunate
to
have
some
of
our
developments
push
and
get
our
our
one-time
payments
that
have
allowed
us
to
stay
in
a
certain
place.
This
will
actually
make
it
even
more
firm
for
us
to
move
forward
as
a
city,
and
this
is
just
the
real
estate
transfer
tax.
We
discuss
the
tot
tax,
which
is
basically
what
everybody
pays
when
they
stay
at
a
hotel.
G
Of
course,
if
you
stay
in
a
hotel
in
santa
monica,
you're
gonna
pay
a
exorbitant
amount
in
las
vegas.
You
stay,
you
pay
a
tremendous
amount,
we're
just
moving
it
up
at
par,
because
these
are
visitors
that
will
take
advantage
of
our
streets
of
our
sidewalks,
of
our
amenities
around
the
city
and
that's
why
we
we
apply
these
costs,
so
these
costs
will
go
a
long
way.
I
think
the
number
was
700
and
something
thousand
that
we
will
see
immediately
with
our
increase
in
hotels.
G
G
They
will
see
it
as
a
benefit.
100
percent,
based
on
the
fact
that
that
they're
living
in
their
homes
and
not
staying
at
the
hotels,
the
taxes
are
gene
are
our
city
to
be
a
destination
and
those
visitors
that
we
have
not
been
able
to
capitalize
on.
We
are
now
assembling
a
program
to
do
so,
so
I
just
wanted
to
that's
my
tuesday
and.
A
A
close
look:
we've
been
very
fiscally
responsible
over
the
years
and
we've
known
about
that.
We
needed
to
change
this
tax
for
quite
some
time,
we're
at
the
bottom
of
the
tier
and
but
the
the
reality
was
is
that
we
save
money
we
have
more
money
reserves
than
we
ever
did.
However,
it's
like
having
money
in
your
savings
account,
but
your
checking
account
is
not
going
to
pay
all
the
bills
for
the
year
and
you're
going
to
have
to
dip
into
your
savings.
A
We
have
great
expectations
that
you
know
the
entertainment
that
we've
attracted
to
our
city
is
going
to
make
us
more
financially
stable
than
other
cities.
However,
then
kim
coveted
and
now's
come
the
variant,
so
just
the
same
way
that
we
saved
money
in
case
we
didn't
realize
the
revenues
we
anticipated.

A
D
Mayor
bust
inward
city,
council
members
ray
lawson
southwest
regional
constable
carpenters,
once
again,
I'd
like
to
express
the
opportunity
to
tell
you
we're
talking
about
careers
careers
for
englewood
residents,
long-lasting
careers
where
they
can
buy
a
home
where
they
can
be
able
to
see
their
children,
go
to
high
school
and
participate
in
sports
and
be
dads
and
moms
in
their
lives.
In
inglewood,
we
believe
that
that's
possible,
but
the
pla
is
limited.
D
I
I
propose
that
in
district
four,
what
I
see
is
that,
if
we're
able
to
cut
you
know
half
the
grass
on
one
side
of
the
street
like
either
the
north
of
the
south,
we
can
increase
the
width,
you
know
of
the
street
and
we
can
have
parking
on
both
sides
and
I
just
want
to
add
the
city
of
lenox
to
the
west
of
us.
They
have
the
same
width
of
street
and
they
park
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
A
K
K
K
K
J
Thank
you
mayor.
You
know
I
just
want
to
go
back.
You
know
earlier
we
had
the
report
or
we
approved
the
the
banners
you
know
so
some
folks
think
that
it
involves
banners
going
across
the
intersections
right
from
one
pole
to
another,
and
it's
not
that
it's
the
banners
like.
Let's
say
this
is
the
light
pole.
It's
a
banner
that
would
be
affixed
on
the
light
pole
kind
of
like
a
flag.
J
That'll
have
the
event
on
there
and
and
so
we'll
identify
these
there's
a
picture
of
it
right
there
of
what
it
will
look
like
so
and
that's
great,
because
it's
about
time
that
we
get
the
ability
to
to
advertise
these
events
throughout
the
city
so
that
our
community,
not
only
here
in
england
but
around
the
area,
can
come
and
celebrate
all
the
positive
fun
exciting
times
here
in
inglewood.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
planning
department
and
public
works.
You
guys
are
going
to
be
tasked
with
putting
these
together
and
working
on
this.
J
J
You
know
we're
gonna
float
that
out
there
and
we'll
see
how
it
works
and
then,
if
we
need
to
tweak
it
we'll
bring
it
back
and
we'll
tweak
it.
But
at
least
now
we
have
something
moving
forward
for
these
events
that
are
going
to
occur
either
at
the
at
the
forum,
at
sofi
stadium
and
in
the
future
at
the
clippers
arena.
J
J
I
very
much
appreciate
it
this
past
weekend.
I
know
the
mayor
and
I
and
I
know
the
other
council
members-
had
an
opportunity
to
go
to
the
ingrid,
unified
school,
district's,
enrollment
and
family
resource
enrollment
and
family
resource
fair,
and
it
was
a
very
well
attended
community
event
highlighting
our
different
schools
and
all
the
resources
that
the
school
district
has
to
offer.
So
I
want
to
thank
dr
torres
and
all
our
staff
for
this
awesome
community
event
mayor.
J
L
L
Receive
more
information
on
getting
vaccinations
and
also
on

How
to
you
know,
tracking
the
delta
variant
and
updated
cdc
guidelines,
so
kaiser
permanente
is
offering
a
covid
19
vaccination
awareness
with
dr
ahmad
august
5th,
coming
up
from
10
30
a.m,
to
11
30
and
I'll
also
have
additional
information
on
the
delta
variant
and
how
that's
affecting
la
county
and
specifically
city
of
englewood.
So
you
can
go
on
to
kaiser
permanente's
website
to
receive
the
most
current
information.
L
Also,
there
is
a
webinar
that's
happening
for
the
south
bay
city
of
governments
and
it's
a
community
event
they're
going
to
give
information
on
proposed
state
laws
that
will
drastically
change,
single-family,
neighborhoods,
very
important
webinar.
That's
coming
up
they're
going
to
go
into
detail
about
senate
bills,
sb9
and
sb10,
and
it
will
affect
residents
in
in
inglewood
and
l.a
county
and
the
state
of
california.
L
So
for
more
information
on
that,
you
can
go
to
south
bay
city
government's
cog.
That
webinar
will
be
happening
on
august
7th
at
10
a.m,
and
you
can
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
my
office
as
well
to
receive
that
information
or
go
to
their
website.
For
the
information,
but
I
think
it's
very
important
for
everybody
to
educate
themselves
on
what's
happening
with
those
two
legis,
those
two
senate
bills.
L
L
The
mayor
did
a
lot
of
help
in
that
area,
so
they're
really
happy,
and
so
we
are
celebrating
together
with
that.
So
they
seem
very
happy
and
lastly,
mayor,
if
you
could
close
in
honor
of
gloria
gibson
morrison,
she
was
a
district
4
resident
she
passed
away
last
week.
She
was
a
member
of
century
heights
and
also
the
scholarships
chair.
G
G
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
earlier
we
heard
staff
talk
about
our
assessment
districts
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
it's
not
always
that
we
we
just
we
don't
get
to
point
out
the
fact
that
when
we
decide
not
to
make
these
changes
that
impact
the
residents,
I
believe
that,
all
together
the
assessments
every
year,
we
subsidize
it
with
the
general
fund
to
the
degree
of
1.6
million
dollars.
Now
those
assessment
districts,
we
could
go
back
out
and
say:
hey
they're,
not
paying
for
themselves.
G
G
A
And
to
affirm
once
again
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
is,
has
always
been
here.
It's
been
about
55
cents
per
thousand,
it's
it's
the
lowest.
It
can
be,
and
we
have
not
changed
it.
There
are
people
coming
to
the
city,
spending
big
money
on
commercial
properties,
and
this
is
going
to
affect
commercial
transfers
paid
for
by
the
purchaser.
It
comes
out
at
the
end
of
escrow,
so
we
want
to
make
that
very
clear
to
everybody.
A
Before
I
close
the
meeting,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
an
offshoot
of
speeding
that
councilman
councilman
faulk
talked
about
these
takeovers
where
they
take
over
an
intersection
and
they
burn
rubber
and
and
they
have
crowds
of,
like
100
people.
Okay,
let
me
tell
you
something:
that's
illegal,
it's
anarchistic
and
it's
not
going
to
continue
and
we
have
plans
for
you.
So
I
want
to
tell
you
if
you
ever
listen
to
a
council
meeting.
A
A
She
moved
here
in
1962
that
would
make
her
one
of
the
first
blacks
or
black
families
to
move
into
the
city
of
inglewood,
also
closing
in
the
name
of
gloria
gibson
morrison
and
in
in
the
name
of
a
good
friend,
malcolm
bennett,
the
president
of
the
apartment
owners
association,
just
a
ball
of
fire,
and
it
was
so
so
unexpected
and
with
that
we're
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Man.
