City Council - Regular Meeting

Yes mayor quorum is present for the City Council successor agency and Housing Authority I

Okay, before we get started, you know, this has been a pretty tumultuous time and a sad time for a family. And no matter what, the council and the city give its greatest sympathies to the family of Brian Bostick. We do, however, have to conduct meetings and do the city's business. And so I'm going to once again read the public rules of the quorum. And we've read them before. And if there's a violation, then people that violate these rules will have to leave the council chambers and city hall public rules of decorum in compliance with the ralph and brown act and to further facilitate feedback public comment is encouraged at meetings of the city council its authorities agencies and boards and commissions the public Encouraged to contact the city manager or respective operating directors first before making service requests or service complaints of the council At the beginning of each meeting to consider closed session items public comments are permitted To address one or more closed session items scheduled on the agenda at the beginning of each meeting to consider open session items Public comments are permitted to address one or more open session items scheduled on the agenda.

With that, We're going to open public comment for agenda items. Any persons wishing to address the English City Council, Successor Agency, Housing Authority on any item on the agenda other than the public hearing that is agendized may do so at this time.

Mayor Butz, is the item on the warrant register something I can speak to right now?

Yes, you can speak to the warrant register.

Okay, thank you. Residents are seeing a pattern. Today we see a payment for $85,765.60 to suite events. Previously, this council approved a $15,000 payment to Rose Enterprise tied to a December 2025 invoice involving the mayor's former assistants. Time and time again, these payments appear on the consent calendar and are approved without meaningful public discussion. Residents are left asking questions. What was the money spent on? How was the vendor selected? Were other businesses given an opportunity to compete for this work? This is not about attacking any vendor. It is about transparency. When taxpayer dollars are being spent, the public deserves more than one line item on a warrant register and a quick vote. The people of Englewood should not have to file public records requests just to understand where their money is being spent. We deserve a government that is open, clear, and answers questions to the public. Thank you.

Thank you. Close public comment. Item 1, CSA 1 and H1.

Aye. Madam Clerk, what's the next scheduled matter?

Yes, Chairman. The next scheduled matter is a public hearing to consider the Inglewood Housing Authority annual plan for fiscal year 2026 through 2027 and related certifications.

Welcome, Mr. Chavez. A brief presentation to walk us through the elements of the agency plan. The purpose required by HUD for continued Section 8 funding since 1998. The five-year plan describes the mission, long-range goals, and objectives. The annual plan addresses the immediate needs, strategies, and operations. The contents of the agency plan, the mission, to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity, and suitable living free from discrimination. Some highlights from the program goals, applied for additional special purpose vouchers, maintain the high performer status, implement streamlining measures granted by the Housing Opportunities through Modernization Act, also referred to as HODMA of 2016. Utilize the authority to preserve affordable housing through the project-based voucher program, Expand housing opportunities through opening the Section 8 waiting lists. Perform quality control inspections to verify that families are living in decent, safe, and affordable housing units. Monitor the Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8, payment standards to assure that low-income households are not overly rent-cost burdened. This thing's not moving. Sorry. It's stuck. Sorry. Sorry, got some technical difficulties. So basically, The agency plan is developed to provide the public with a roadmap of what the agency plan will do throughout the next fiscal year. This agency plan is effective on October 1st of 2016 and describes different things such as the home ownership policy and capacity, the organizational chart, and includes a resolution. With that, the housing authority recommends that the mayor and council approve the agency plan. Thank you. I'm available for any comments. Thank you, Mr. Chavez.

I know there may or may not be questions, but I'll go ahead and move item number two.

Second.

Madam City Clerk.

Housing Authority members, Gray? Aye. Padilla? Aye. Morales?

Aye.

Falk? Aye. Chairman Butts?

Aye. I'll adjourn the Housing Authority. There are no appointments to boards, commissions, committees. Public comments, any persons wishing to address the City Council on any matter connected with city business and elsewhere considered on the agenda may do so at this time. One minute. Go right ahead, ma'am.

Welcome back to our movement. Mr. Butts, the lies that you continue to broadcast on radio and to the Englewood community must stop. You were not there on the eve of March 10th at 9.36 p.m., so how can you justify your actions or comments regarding the murder of Brian Boston? Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to the people of this community. Brian Bostic was murdered by IPD. The history of our people has successfully marched and fought for justice spanning both civil rights leaders and modern day activists. We want justice for Brian Bostic and we won't stop until we have achieved our mission. In the words of Martin Luther King, not sure if you know him, injustice anywhere is a threat to injustice everywhere. John Lewis highlighted that unchecked power and unequal justice hinders democracy's innocence project. Rosa Parks stated, you should never be fearful about what you are doing when it's right. We will continue to move forward and we will continue to advocate on the name of Brian Bostick. We are not here to fight. We just want justice.

Thank you, ma'am.

Mayor Butts, you were so elated a few weeks ago reading that falsified medical examiner's report. Let's state the facts. Why did the EMT clear someone who had been tased, officers putting a contusion on his face, and sweating profusely, per your statement? Why did the coroners arrive at the scene and moments later at the police station? Why was there still an active scene at 5 a.m. if it was just a regular routine traffic stop? Why did officers pick Brian's dead body off the curb and toss him in back of the police car? Why did Lieutenant Landon Puryear just stand there and watch officers mishandle and murder Brian? Is it because the lieutenant already had blood on his hands from the October 2012 incident when he shot an innocent man in his temple and left him with brain injuries? And the DA's office said the shooting was justifiable but still paid him $4.6 million to settle an excessive force lawsuit? Make it make sense. The mayor is running a dictatorship. Enough is enough.

You guys? Sir, go right ahead.

The public portion of city council meetings generally starts with the Pledge of Allegiance, which ends with the words, with liberty and justice for all. This is ironic in three ways. First, the killing of Brian Bostic was totally incompatible with justice for all. Contrary to the statement issued by the LA County Coroner's Office, which blames a victim of police violence, There is video evidence of Brian Bostic being brutalized while in police custody and down on the ground. What kind of justice is that? Second, the order now rescinded, handed to family members and a supporter for the campaign last Tuesday, pointed out the murals of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King in the first floor lobby are supposed to commemorate the struggle for civil rights in the fight against racism. You're at time, sir.

Sir? Sir? Sir, you're at time. Sir, you're at time.

Sympathy for the Bostic family rings hollow when you lie about the circumstances of the murder. Note, I said murder, not death. Brian was murdered. There was no mention of the fact that Butts, you chose to unilaterally ban a grieving family originally for 120 days. That is not compassion. That is not sympathy. That is silencing dissent and righteous rage. That is silencing the truth. The ban was since lifted, but not because of some semblance of your righteousness, but out of fear. The First Amendment Coalition and ACLU both issued letters to the city clearly articulating that this was illegal. And yet you said you might do it again. I will say this again. Your desire to maintain this meeting and rules of decorum and the agenda of this meeting is a failure of your own conscience and your own morality. You disrupted a life. So yeah, we're going to disrupt a meeting until we get justice in the name of Brian Bostic. You had the audacity to read a coroner's report as if that's an independent investigation or independent anything when the coroner is in bed with the DA. Ma'am.

Ma'am, your time.

Your time is up.

Wait until the election.

Hello, I'm Bryant's other auntie. You haven't met me, but I'm still wondering why y'all haven't released the footage, the tapes yet, because y'all still got something to hide. Tell us why did you pull him over? We are very upset and furious. He did not get to spend time with his daughter for Father's Day this year because y'all murdered him. Y'all killed him, and y'all want to cover it up. Y'all should be shameful. You tried to bully us three times already, and it's not going to work. We will still be here. We will still be here until we get the answers we want. If you don't want us here, give our lawyers what we are asking for. The right questions. Stop doing all this other stuff.

You will have to leave the audience.

Hi, good afternoon. I wasn't planning on speaking tonight, but after spending nearly 10 minutes listening to the rules of decorum, I felt compelled to come to the microphone. I'm a teacher here in Inglewood, and one of my students came today, this afternoon, because he, along with all of us, feel anger and sadness and frustration over the killing of Brian Bostic. As educators, we teach young people that if they care about something, they should participate, they should speak up, and they should have their voices heard. That's exactly what we're all doing here this afternoon. I'm here in support of the Bostic family who continue to seek answers and justice. Many of us have stood alongside them Sunday after Sunday because we believe their concerns need to be heard and the community needs to wake up to what's going on with the Englewood Police Department. What struck me this afternoon is that before the public was allowed to speak, we spent nearly 10 minutes listening and being reminded of how to behave in a city that faces...

I understand you're at time, though, ma'am. Ma'am, you're at time. Thank you.

I was going to end with this quote, but I'm going to start with it. Dr. Martin Luther King talked about some of us are more obsessed with order than we are with justice. That is a part of his letter from the Birmingham jail. The family of Brian Bostic has come here many times, demanding and expecting answers, but they've not received them. Simple answers to simple questions. In the midst of their grieving, they've been met with disrespect, denial, and degradation. That is not how you respond to people who are grieving, people who are saying they want accountability and transparency. I will leave you with another quote, and this one from Malcolm X. It is from his association with the master's house. What's wrong, master? We sick?

Sir? Sir? You're at time.

I walked in here last week and y'all put me out for asking simple questions. And I've been put out of better places than this before.

Mr. City Sergeant Arms, would you escort him out?

I know the way. You don't need to escort me nowhere.

Okay. Say his name! Say his name! Okay.

Mr. Sergeant Arms. Come back. There are three other people that have to be escorted out now. The young lady sitting next to Mr. Ward. Ma'am, you're going to have to leave the room. Okay. All right. Thank you. All right. Go ahead, ma'am.

Mayor, City Council, I'm so saddened to see our city in this way. We're a city of love, of togetherness, We have a large population, black, white, Hispanic, Asian. Everybody lives in Englewood. And we have everybody from the world here right now. And our house is in disrepair. And it's very sad that this is how we're behaving. But I just want to say a condolence to the young man, Aaron Avery, who lost his life on Van Ness and 104th Street. And we're having a terrible time with traffic. People are dying every day, getting hit by cars, not just in Englewood, but all over the county and all over the city of Los Angeles also. And we need to do something better about what's going on with the traffic. I live on 90th Street. It's Little Manchester. People run the stoplights all day, and it's just a disaster. And you said that we were going to do good with this FIBA World Cup, and it's not doing very well. We lost a life, and it's very sad. And I think you should close this meeting in his honor. Aaron Avery.

Thank you.

Where are my crooked cops at Inglewood? Let's look at who was running your department. Look at Landon Poirier. He shot an unarmed man in the head during a traffic stop. Taxpayers pay $4.6 million for his actions. And how did the city punish him? You promoted him. He's sitting pretty as a lieutenant right now. That is your standard of accountability. And now, Butts, let's talk about the lies you're spreading about my cousin, Brian. You have the audacity to claim that Brian died because he had a white bag of substance in his mouth, and we can't accept the truth. No, you can accept that we have truth.

I did not say that, ma'am.

I did not say that, ma'am. Can you stop interrupting me? I can't interrupt you. Thank you. But we shouldn't be surprised. You are the same mayor who has been accused of forging loan documents and final true reports to protect your favorites and shield your inner circle. You have a pattern of altering the paperwork when the truth doesn't fit your agenda.

Ma'am, you're at time. Okay, you're right. All right. Thank you, ma'am. Okay, with that, we'll close public comment. Council comments, Councilman Gray.

First, let me thank the public for your comments today. I want again to extend my sincere condolences to the Bostick family. You've heard me for the many weeks to say civic engagement is very important, and it is. So I encourage civic engagement and public comment. So thank you for being here today. This past week, we celebrated Juneteenth. And Juneteenth... And Juneteenth...

Excuse me, Councilwoman. When someone speaks out, they're to be escorted out. Go ahead, Councilman.

We recently celebrated Juneteenth. And Juneteenth is all about freedom. And I heard a comment. Yes, our freedoms continue to be challenged, and you're absolutely right. But we cannot forget about the folks who died for emancipation and freedom, and we need to continue to fight for our freedom, and not to forget those who died for our freedom. I want to thank the Englewood Park Cemetery for a program, a Juneteenth program last Wednesday that I attended along with Councilman Padilla. The day was so special because you heard the stories from a lot of folks there because everyone has a story about where they came from. And this is a very diverse community. You can see the picture there, but we can never forget our legacy. And those who fought before us and the fight continues for freedom. I also want to mention that extend my condolences to the family of Mrs. Geraldine Teresa Howyer, whose home going service is actually today at St. John's Catholic Church. She's the wife to Mr. Woodrow Howyer. She lived in Englewood for 49 years and a beloved resident of District 1 for 42 years. So I request the mayor to adjourn the meeting in her name.

What was her name again?

Geraldine Teresa Howlier, H-O-L-L-I-E-R. Also, I want to say happy birthday to my community center liaison, Gwen Goodman. She celebrated a very special birthday this week, last week, I believe. So happy birthday to Gwen. Let's see. Also, there is a date change the family unity event We had to change the date from August 1st to August 29th. So please mark that on your calendar It is a event all about unity here in the city of Inglewood. So, please attend Let's see. Also, I want to congratulate Morgan Allen. She's a young lady who graduated from Anamo Inglewood High School, Charter High School. We do need to encourage our young people. So, congratulations to her. She worked at Mingles Tea Bar in District 1, and she will be going to San Francisco State University in the fall. So, congratulations, and thank you very much.

Thank you. Councilman Padilla, District 2.

Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Again, I just want to thank everybody for coming out. Let your voice be heard. That's what these council meetings are about. We encourage you to do it in a civil, polite manner, respectful manner. I know at times, sometimes, look, our emotions are going to get in the way. We're human, I get it 100%. And so we understand that. But at the same time, we ask for you to please keep others in consideration of their attendance here at our council meeting so that we can get the business done of the city. That being said, all are welcome to come to our council meetings to voice their concerns and let us know what you're thinking, what's going on, because that's what these forums are for, to exchange and to understand what people's situations are. So thank you again for doing that. I do want to say that back in the early part of June, we had the elections. We had a measure I on the ballot, which was the restriction of fireworks within the city of Englewood. You sell a purchase of fireworks. And so that, you know, fireworks are illegal to have here in the city of Englewood. Now, folks, does that mean you're not going to hear any fireworks in Englewood? No. But we're going to do our part as a community to try to ensure that people are safe and everybody gets to enjoy the 4th of July. Keep in mind, we do have folks that have issues with the loud bangs and the extremely loud fireworks that go off. Whether it's folks with learning disorders that just can't you know, they can't handle that or even our own pets to go through that, you know, just be mindful of that when you're celebrating the upcoming 4th of July. Coming up on August 15th, and I know we're still a little bit a ways, I'm having my annual District 2 picnic and chili cook-off. And that'll be at North Park. It'll start at four o'clock and it'll go till seven. And then we transition to Movies in the Park. It'll be the last night of Movies in the Park, again, at North Park. So please, all are welcome. Everything is free. It's a community event. We're gonna have plenty of food, music, entertainment. a bunch of free raffles that are going to take place. And again, it's just a family-filled community event at North Park. See you on Saturday, August the 15th. I would like to... Thanking Wood Park Cemetery for their Juneteenth celebration they had. Thank you for inviting us. It was a great event to just acknowledge that this past week. So please close in his memory. Certainly will.

Councilwoman Fogg, District 4.

Thank you, Mayor. Again, I want to extend my sincere condolences to the Brian Bostic family. Very sorry for your loss. I have two sons, so I couldn't even imagine what that must be like. So I extend my sincere condolences to the family. I want to transition and remind our residents that we do have the City of Englewood Music Festival coming up. It is on Saturday, the 4th of July. Yes, it's on the holiday. And so it will be amazing. It's a long weekend. It'll be warm. And so we have lots of fun planned for all of the City of Inglewood residents. And guess what? It is free to the residents. This is a free concert in the park. And we are doing this, everybody here on this day has worked so hard, but we do want to do something very positive and nice for our residents. And so this is going to be a very enjoyable event. Doors open at 10 a.m. Parking is at Kia Forum. Free parking is a key form, and we'll have shuttles to Darby Park. The featured performers, we have Cameo, Climax, Suzy Hansen, Latin Band, Rising Sun, Cheryl Cooley, Danny B. Jai, Arisa, Nicole, Cherie, and many, many more. So it will be a wonderful event. Please come out. and enjoy yourself, and let's have a safe, enjoyable day for the 4th of July. I want to close, well, I want to close in just in memory, Mayor, of Yvonne Sandra Coleman. She's a long-term District 4 resident. She has gone on to glory. As of June 14th, she's leaves behind three wonderful daughters. One of her daughters is the president of the Renaissance community. And so we want to keep that family lifted up in prayer. And so I want to lastly end wishing my family a happy birthday. My son, Sebastian, turned 13. And my husband, I'm not going to tell you his age, but my husband, Shannon Falk, who is the love of my life, I want to wish him a happy birthday. His birthday is on Juneteenth. So we love you very much. And just wanted to just wish my family a happy birthday. That's all I have, Mayor. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Councilman L.R. Morales, District 3.

So a lot of the same things. Thank you, everybody, for coming. You know, these meetings have gotten emotional because there's so much that happens when a tragedy happens. And this is where our community comes to speak because this is where we have moments where the public has the ability to do so and they say what they feel. And we know that. We know that. And sometimes we are caught up in the same emotion and you see the product of that. But our hearts go out to every family that suffers. And I'll tell you that within everything that gets spoken, you know, there are things that, you know, get asked from us. But We recognize and we know the public recognizes that this is not where that happens. Everything has a process, and we believe that that process is taking place. We know that it will have a result at the end of that process, and we hope that it brings peace of mind to the family and everyone else. So when we're up here, you know, We understand. We understand, you know, the situation, and we're dealing with it as a city. So we know you're up here as a public, and you'll always be welcome to do so.

Ma'am, you're going to have to leave. Ma'am, you're going to have to leave. Ma'am, just let it go.

Come on, you guys. Let's go.

And, you know, just to continue, you know, somebody said that, you know, Our city is going through a really tough time and it pains him. We feel it. So it's all part of it. You know, a city goes through so many things right now. We have the whole world here in the city of Inglewood. And yet, you know, we have families that are going through difficult times. This is what a family and a community is made of. So we'll continue to lead here. That being said, some of the members mentioned Juneteenth. You know, freedom is just this evolving thing. It just depends on the day that we're living in. And someone mentioned there was a student here. And one of the most important things about freedom is that freedom is worth fighting for every day, every day. So thank you for being here, whoever that student is. I don't know, I was asked to mention self-defense classes on July 11th. Please pre-register at Rogers Park. I know that there's the flyer right there. So that class always fills up. There's been another self-defense classes that fill up, so please do so. I'm sure you'll see it on plenty of newsletters. And then in closing, I don't know, Mayor, if we in the past closed in honor of Dr. Bill Burke. I think we were absent when he passed, and we all know he was a great man in the black community. He is the husband of Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, father of former Assemblywoman Autumn Burke. Just a great family that has a lot of history here. And he was the founder of the LA Marathon. So in his life, he had a great life. So may he rest in peace.

All right. Thank you. Real quick, I want to talk directly to the Bosick family. You lost a loved one. And Your sentiments are very, very much understood. I spent 37 years in law enforcement. I fired a lot of police officers for excessive force, for unlawful use of deadly force. We have a responsibility to put out only facts that we know. And then when something's under litigation, then we must do things through attorneys. To my knowledge, everything the family has asked for that is releasable has been released to their attorneys. I want to comment on the comment about, someone made a comment about something in Mr. Bosick's mouth. I have never commented on that. The only thing I commented on was what was on, I put it up on the screen, what was on the summary of the coroner's report. And that could be true, but I don't, recall ever saying that in public.

If I did, you can correct me when we're done with the meeting.

It doesn't make any difference to the family. They lost a loved one. And we understand that. And this process will play itself out. On the issue of Mr. Avery, it had nothing to do with FIFA traffic. It happened at 10.30 at night. on Van Ness at 1.02 in the dark. He was hit by a drunk driver. There was no light at the intersection. So this has nothing to do with FIFA traffic. I wanted to say that doesn't change anything, and we give our condolences to the Avery family. And with that, we're going to close in the name of Geraldine Hollier, Mr. Avery, Yvonne Coleman, and Dr. Bill Burke. Oh, and Michael Iskadarian. And with that, we're adjourned.
