Description
5-4-2021 City Council Meeting
A
A
E
E
Our
organization
had
a
really
nice
good
conversation
with
miss
decatur
on
friday,
and
we
are
asking
you
to
consider
including
two
amendments
to
the
tenant
protection
ordinances
that
you're,
considering
both
are
under
the
section
of
tenant
harassment.
The
first
would
be
to
include
the
california
code
civil
procedure
code,
definition
of
harassment.
E
The
reason
that
we
ask
that
this
be
placed
in
is
sometimes
these
cases
do
go
end
up
in
court,
and
this
is
the
standard
by
which
courts
apply
harassment
under
that
definition,
and
so
we
think
this
makes
it
a
stronger
harassment.
Ordinance,
if
you
add
that
the
second
is,
there
should
be
a
period
a
15-day
period
for
a
right
to
cure.
If
there
is
an
allegation
of
harassment
that
the
landlord
should
have
the
ability
to
to
cure
that
before
going
down
a
long
road
of,
I
don't
know
mediation
or
fines
and
penalties.
G
Good
afternoon
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
nathan
miller,
with
the
apartment
association
of
greater
los
angeles,
now
representing
the
woods
rental
housing
providers
under
charter
of
the
national
apartment
association
and
provide
a
comment
on
agenda
item
01.
amendments
to
the
city's
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
G
The
association
appreciates
the
recent
opportunity
for
engagement
with
the
city
count
with
the
inglewood
city
staff
to
discuss
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
city's
housing
protection
ordinance
and
our
concerns.
Meaningful
engagement
with
the
city
is
vital
to
address
community
concerns
in
advance
of
extensive
legislative
changes.
As
the
city
council
contemplates
these
expansive
amendments,
we
strongly
urge
the
council
to
modify
the
proposed
amendments
to
provide
essential
clarity
and
more
balanced
approach.
G
Equitable
anti-harassment
provisions
should
be
inclusive
and
provide
a
right
of
action
to
all
affected
parties,
renters
and
rental
housing
providers.
As
to
the
definition
of
harassment,
it's
critical
that
the
definition
provide
clear
guidance
to
foster
understanding,
minimize
opportunity
for
misinterpretation
and
facilitate
compliance
with
the
ordinance.
We
recommend
that
the
council
use
the
definition
of
harassment
as
set
forth
in
the
california
code
of
the
civil
procedure.
G
The
state
law
harassment
provisions
are
well
established
time
and
court
tested
standards.
We
also
urge
the
council
to
include,
within
the
ordinances
harassment,
section
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
cure
provisions
for
all
alleged
harassment
violations,
inclusion
of
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
cure,
facilitates
communication,
minimizes
misunderstandings
and
informs
the
housing
provider
of
the
alleged
issue
so
that
the
situation
may
be
rectified
without
the
need
for
costly,
potentially
lengthy
litigation
or
prosecution.
G
The
association
appreciate
the
extension
of
the
rental
registration
deadline
and
waiver
of
the
initial
fee
for
those
who
register
on
time,
but
we
remain
strongly
opposed
to
the
extensive
and
administratively
burdensome
rental
register
requirements
and
placement
of
the
onus
on
owners
to
prove
that
they
are
exempt.
We
are
equally
concerned
with
the
elimination
of
the
just
cause,
tenancy
termination
for
substantial
remodel
this
termination
basis,
which
is
permissible
under
state
law.
Ab1482
is
clearly
defined
and
recognizes
the
importance
of
upgrading
the
city's
aging
housing
stock.
H
Okay,
first
of
all,
my
three
minutes
are
not
starting
yet
now
that
just
illustrated
as
well
as
the
minutes
illustrate
brown
act,
violations
and
the
need
for
three
minutes
for
each
agenda
item
the
proposed
regarding
the
proposed
reward
for
the
information
regarding
ms
crawford's
tragic
death,
it's
appropriate
to
use
the
available
asset
fortuner
fund.
I
am
concerned
that
you
did
not
specify
what
is
the
quote.
H
Another
funding
source
unquote,
however,
number
five
clear
data
pace
for
law
enforcement
investigations,
I'm
concerned
who
has
access
to
it
as
this
is
sensitive
information
and
can
easily
be
abused,
and
there
are
individuals
and
leadership
representing
the
city
and
england
pd
who
have
integrity
issues.
I
think
the
rent
control
ordinance
needs
to
be
reworked
in
some
areas.
The
spirit
of
the
law
is
to
protect
renters
from
landlord
abuse
and
abusive
landlords,
not
to
penalize
honest
landlords
and
and
include
including
mom
and
pops.
H
A
public
meeting
among
council
members
was
inappropriate
and
confusing,
and
I
think
that
a
series
of
public
meetings
with
input
and
discussion
with
the
stakeholders,
which
are
the
renters
and
landlords
property
owners,
whether
they're,
currently
renting
or
not
so,
basically
citizens.
It
needs
to
be
had
owning
four
units
or
properties
is
generally
a
business
move.
H
Now,
why
are
two
residents
being
exempted
in
this
bill?
That
one
was
on
regent?
There
are.
There
needs
to
be
recruitment,
sweet
spots
for
renters
and
owners.
I
don't
know
how
you're
going
to
do
that,
though,
and
the
exemption
fees
are
a
lot,
you
need
to
have
a
better
rights
to
cure.
I'm
concerned
that
the
mayor
is
nominating
the
members
of
the
board,
because
we've
seen
how
the
boards
are
they've
been
set
up
already,
and
you
can't
even
get
a
quorum
for
the
police
commission.
H
They
haven't
met
in
hardly
ever,
and
I
think
that
the
board
should
be
one
renter
and
one
owner
landlord
from
each
district
respectively.
A
social
justice
rep
for
the
renters
and
then
a
representative
for
the
owner
landlords,
so
that
there
is
no
conflict
and
that
it
helps
you
know,
smooth
things
out.
H
I
J
Such
as
a
little
more
alex
who's
been
here
for
us
for
a
long
time
to
protect
us.
That's
all
I'm
asking
protect
my
children.
If
it
were
just
about
me,
that's
fine.
I
can
go
I've
been
homeless
before
so
I
don't
mind,
but
these
are
my
children
who
love
who
live
in
eagle,
but
I
know
what's
about
to
happen
and
we
all
know
what's
about
to
happen,
let
us
search
our
consciences,
don't
go
for
the
money.
These
people
are
using
legal
loopholes
and
they
have.
They
do
have
their
lawyers.
J
They
have
people
that
they
can
use
to
actually
beat
us.
Okay,
with
kobe,
going
on
my
unemployment,
my
wife's
health
and
my
children,
who
are
right
now
in
my
house
going
to
school
five
days
a
week
I
have
to,
I
have
to
be
teacher
parent,
I
mean
there's,
I
know,
there's
a
money
side
to
it,
there's
a
political
side
to
it,
but
this
is
these.
Are
human
lives
here
and
that's
all
I'm
asking
please
that's.
A
K
Then
I'm
going
to
address
yeah
and
all
I'm
going
to
say
is
thank
you
very
much
for
calling.
Obviously,
sir,
I
can
tell
you
that
whoever
told
you
that
is
is
trying
to
misguide
you
and
trying
to
put
you
in
a
situation
where
you
may
make
a
decision
that
may
benefit
them.
The
truth
is
that
every
step
we're
taking
here
will
continue
to
protect
you.
K
The
ordinance
is
going
nowhere
and
I'm
glad
you
have
your
children
here
watching
history,
because
the
history
is
going
to
protect.
Families
like
yours
and
what
I
want
to
point
out,
though,
is
the
fact
that
families
like
this
are
basically
being
blind,
signed.
It
they're
getting
notices
like
this,
so
that
they
can
have
fear
inside
them
so
that
they
can
continue
to
be
in
a
place
in
their
mind
where
they
think
they
have
to
leave
where
they
think
they're
unwanted.
K
This
is
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
end
with
our
action
here.
So
I
know
the
mayor
is
going
to
point
out
the
technical
flaws
and
everything
you've
been
told.
I
just
wanted
to
share
the
fact
that
families
like
yours
are
the
reason
we're
creating
this
protection,
we're
moving
it
forward,
and
I'm
sorry
that
you
are
going
through
that
with
that
bad
message
from
your
owners.
K
A
You
know
I
first
thing:
I
I
I'm
really
sorry
that
planet
fitness
isn't
open
because
then
you
could
have
just
talked
to
me
at
the
gym,
like
everybody
always
does,
but
here's
the
deal
here's
a
deal
for
for
renovations.
They
cannot
evict
you.
They
can
offer
you
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
to
relocate.
They
could
offer
you
more
if
they
chose
to.
But
if
you
don't
want
to
move,
then
the
accommodations
will
have
to
be
made
so
that
you
can
keep
your
place.
A
C
C
If
I
have
a
unit
that
is
desperate,
that
is
in
a
desperate
need
of
a
major
remodel
and
need
to
evict
the
tenant
with
proper
notice
so
that
the
unit
may
be
gutted
and
rebuilt,
I
should
be
able
to
do
that.
My
tenants
have
all
lived
in
my
buildings
for
more
than
a
year,
so
that
requires
a
60-day
notice
to
vacate.
This
is
more
than
adequate
time
for
a
tenant
to
find
new
housing.
Do
not
take
the
disability
away
from
landlords.
You
are
de-insensitizing
people
from
wanting
to
own
rental
properties
in
your
city.
C
Actions
like
these
will
cause
property
owners
to
sell
and
get
out
of
the
city.
Rent
registration
is
simply
a
money
grab
from
the
city
to
rent
to
get
money
from
property
owners,
and
we
already
pay
annual
business
licenses.
This
is
not
necessary
and
is
a
huge
financial
burden
to
the
independent
family-run
landlords.
The
pandemic
has
increased
our
operational
costs,
but
our
rents
have
had
to
stay
had
to
remain
the
same.
Throughout
the
past
year
no
late
fees
have
been
collected.
C
There
have
been
higher
costs
for
utilities
due
to
safer
at-home
orders,
and
there
are
tenants
who
can't
pay
rent
where,
where
is
the
fairness
to
landlords?
Now
the
city
is
proposing
raising
ration.
This
is
agreed
at
its
finest.
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
hear
my
comments.
Please
bear
them
in
mind
when
taking
when
making
your
decision.
I
urge
you
to
amend
to
not
to
amend
the
rso
in
the
way
that
will
irreparably
harm
landlords,
slash
property
owners,
respectfully,
andy
amberler,
okay,.
G
A
A
L
C
B
Department
good
afternoon,
mayor
council
members,
city
manager,
the
item
before
you
is
an
amendment
to
the
city's
housing
protection
test
allowance
to
recoup.
Fifty
percent
of
the
costs
for
a
capital
improvement
project
has
increased
from
fifty
dollars
to
one
hundred
dollars
a
dollar.
This
past
week
has
been
extremely
busy.
B
The
exchange
department
has
received
numerous
calls
from
tenants
who
are
appreciative
of
the
council,
approved
amendments
and
landlords
who
are
thankful
that
we
listened
considered
and
included
some
concessions
based
on
the
feedback
they
provided
over.
The
past
24
hours
I
have
participated
in
conference,
calls
with
apartment
owners,
associations
and
real
realtors
for
the
city
of
inglewood.
B
They
were
able
to
ask
questions
and
obtain
clarity
on
a
number
of
issues,
as
well
as
provide
additional
input
with
that
to
monitor
enforce
the
codes.
They
also
tasked
us
with
providing
efficient
and
equitable
efficient
and
equitable
services
to
both
tenants
and
landlords
as
much
as
possible.
We
are
appreciative
of
not
only
the
voice
of
our
tenant
constitutional
constituency
but
to
the
owners
as
well.
B
We
are
aware
that
owners
who
have
invested
in
city
long
before
can
attest
that
our
city
council
is
very
cognizant
of
the
impact
that
this
pandemic
has
had
on
our
entire
constituency,
including
the
owners.
So
with
that
said,
I
absolutely
stand
by
my
registration
fees
that
are
established
by
the
fee
study,
but
I
do
understand
that
right
now,
in
the
current
climate,
206
dollars
could
be
a
tad
big
value.
A
And
that's
individual
apartments
that
rent
at
less
70
percent
or
less
than
fair
market
market
debt
would
have
the
fees
waived
for
so
long
as
they
are
beneath
that
70
percent
threshold,
but
this
would
not
apply
to
the
entire
building,
but
only
to
those
apartments
within
a
building
the
units,
the
the
individual
units
that
that
are
70
or
less
than
yes,
okay,
are
any.
Are
there
any
of
their
enemies
from
the
council?
Questions
or
comments
comments
are.
K
K
I
got
the
other
ones
that
definitely
questioned
what
we
were
doing,
but
one
of
the
major
items
that
kept
coming
up
is
that
they
valued
their
long
time
owners
they
valued
their
tenants
there
and
they
wanted
to
keep
them
and
the
way
they
keep
them
is
by
keeping
a
very
low
market
rate
price
on
their
rent,
and
so
they
they're
motivated
by
that
they
want
to
keep
them,
and
so
this
addresses
that
this
allows
them
to
do
it.
This
shows
our
support
of
them
doing
it,
while
keeping
the
rent
down.
M
Outstanding
job
of
getting
their
questions,
hitting
it
off
from
the
beginning,
so
quite
frankly,
the
questions
the
manager,
mr
fields,
because
he
helped
give
us
some
talking
points
to
work
together
so
that
we
could
be
better
prepared
for
these
type
of
zoo
meetings,
because
we
know
this
is
a
hot
button
item.
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
mr
fields,
as.
N
And
well
did
an
amazing
job
to
come
back
here
the
next
week
and
present
this
information,
after
speaking
with
our
community
and
hearing
their
concerns
and
coming
back
again
and
addressing
them,
is
that's
how
hard
we
work
here
in
the
city
of
inglewood,
and
I
just
want
our
residents
to
really
understand
and
appreciate
how
good
our
employees
are.
So.
Thank
you,
mr
cater
for
all
your
hard
work,
and
we
appreciate-
and
I
agree
wholeheartedly,
thank
you
and.
A
B
A
B
A
C
K
C
To
you
know,
work
with
strong
men
and
women,
and
I
truly
thank
you
so
much,
and-
and
I
really
do
I
thank
you,
but
I
would
like
to
raise
awareness
that
this
week
does
mark
the
52nd
annual
municipal
clerk
week
in
1984.
President
ronald
reagan
signed
a
proclamation
that
official
officially
aired
municipal
clerks
week
as
the
first
full
week
of
may
in
1994
and
96.
Then
president
bill
clinton
also
signed
a
proclamation
confirming
municipal
clerks
week.
Tomorrow
is
cinco
de
mayo
and
cinco
de
mayo
is
an
annual
celebration
held
on
may
5th.
C
This
date
is
observed
to
commemorate
the
mexican
army
victory
over
the
french
empire
at
the
battle
of
puebla
on
may
5th,
1862
happy
cinco
de
mayo
day
to
everyone.
I
also
want
to
wish
to
wish
all
arm
of
army
corps
residents
here
in
the
city
of
engle
inglewood
a
happy
mother's
day
or
first
sunday.
This
concludes
my
remarks
mayor.
Thank
you.
M
M
M
A
A
A
H
Okay,
there's
continued
deliberate
brown
act
violations.
I
think
there
just
won't
happen
again.
Consolidated
meetings
also
do
not
allow
citizen
input,
especially
since
we
don't
get
three
minutes
for
each
agenda
item
the
city-wide
park
and
parking
ordinances
are
discriminatory
and
also
discrimination.
I
and
other
black
homeowners
have
been
refused
to
enter
open
houses
just
a
few
doors
away
from
our
home.
The
city
should
also
not
allow
link
housing
to
co-op
the
name
fairview
heights
for
the
beautiful,
affordable
transitional
housing.
H
In
the
wonderful
and
historical
section
of
inglewood
named
fairview
height,
the
police
oversight
commission
needs
to
be
up
and
running
page
25
of
the
ordinance
you're
repealing
435
west
region
and
621
east
99th,
rent
control
in
december
of
2024,
and
still
no
response
from
butts
padilla
fields,
decatur
atwell
and
others
regarding
critical
and
urgent
health
and
safety,
personal
and
property
issues.
If
you
can
call
out
citizens
names,
you
can
also
return
phone
calls
and
emails.
I
It's
gail
matthew,
district,
4
man,
city
council,
is
the
oversight
commission
still
in
in
session
or
dismissing
oversight
police
commission?
If
so,
they
should
be
brought
back
as
soon
as
possible
and
we
should
get
an
election
schedule.
You
know
these
three
of
you
are
sitting
on
here.
Your
council
seats
have
already
expired
now
you're
scheduled
for
november.
When
are
you?
Gonna
have
elections
for
the
primary
and
nominations
open
for
people
to
be
nominated
and
filed?
I
Also,
you
need
complaint
forms
at
the
police
station
and
it's
just
it's
just
things
that
need
to
be
done
is
small,
but
we
need.
We
have
a
police
department
on
balance.
They
did
very
good
and
the
police
that
that
caught
the
guy
running
from
the
crash
that
killed
two
people,
you
should
be
accomplished,
accommodated
and
also
on
the
parking
enforcement.
F

So
you
need
to
show
I
that
you
knew
for
20
years
to
stop
playing
games
and
start
doing
your
job
as
a
mayor,
and
you
got
my
email,
you
never
returned
my
phone
to
fix
it.
Then
they
ellis
took
that
broad.
That's
the
only
reason
why
she
told
the
lady
to
charge
me
with
annoying
phone
calls.
I
was
told
by
your
city
attorney.
Thank
you.
M
M
I
usually
did
a
great
job
talking
about
cinco
de
mayo.

right,
I'm
done,
but
you
know
that
being
said,
you
know
have
a
good
time

but

eating
and
just
having
a
good
fellowship
again
mother's
day
this
sunday
to
all
the
mothers
whether
you

You

You

a
motherly
role

but
I
want
to
wish
all
the

our
city-

so
feliz

Also
today
is
national
teacher
appreciation
day,
and
god
knows
I
appreciate
our
teachers.
Thank
you,
god,
for
teachers,
I
have
two
kids
a
10
year,
10
year
old,
7
year
old
and
my
youngest
is
back
to
school
and
he
loves
his
teacher
and
and
so
they
just
they
educate,
inspire
and
support
our
young
kids.
M

K
K
I
thank
you
for
everything
I
wanted
to
point
out
just
briefly
that
you
know
it
was
a
heavy
lift,
this
rent
control
ordinance,
but
we
have
been
working
on
it
for
a
couple
of
years
and
you
know
we
won't
get
credit
for
it.
We
won't
get
credit
for
being
one
of
the
only
cities
who
has
an
economic
impact
like
ours
and
created
a
way
to
try
to
help
our
residents
through
it.
All
and
I'll.
K
Tell
you
that
I'm
proud
of
that
the
mayor
spoke
a
little
bit
about
about
how
you
know
this
process
has
been
easier
than
he
has
seen
in
other
cities,
and
I
agree,
but
it
got
me
to
think
that
man,
you
know
we
really
did
take
this
step
and
it
wasn't
an
easy
one,
but
it
was
done
and
hopefully
you
know
will
continue
to
evolve.
But
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
we
may
be
one
of
the
few
cities
who
has
addressed
this
in
a
time
like
this.
