Over 72,000 residential and commercial customers. These funds will help ensure that those hardest hit by the pandemic continue to have access to critical life services so they can keep thriving and supporting their families because when that happens, it is good for the entire city of Los Angeles.

0:27 – 0:40Speaker 19

We're here at one of the service centers for LADWP and celebrating $880 million that have been dispersed out to the state for drinking water and wastewater debt relief.

0:43 – 1:03Speaker 5

Sanitation and the environment is really committed to providing these essential services to Angelenos. Our sewer services are among the most critical services that are not deferrable. And we are very grateful to the state for including the sewer services into the financial assistance program.

1:06 – 1:18Speaker 19

These dollars are just really critical for households that are struggling, for something that, again, I think many of us take for granted when it comes to access to clean water and sanitation.

1:18 – 1:55Speaker 23

LADWP knows that the COVID-19 pandemic was impactful financially to our families in the city of LA, so this is a credit that is going to show up on their bills to support the back debt that they have on their bills. Just call us. We are here to help. And we're one of the few utilities that is not disconnecting customers for late deals. We want to make sure that you're whole. We have programs where you can have a payment plan for up to four years if you're low income, three years if you're not low income, because we're here to support you. We're not here to cut off your power or water.

1:58 – 2:09Speaker 12

I would say the community should be embracing and open of programs like these. Call someone, ask questions. You may be surprised. We may be able to help you.

2:17 – 2:33Speaker 22

Measuring the weather is a key factor for LA's fire department. With the recent relocation of the National Weather Service closer to downtown, LAFD is shaking off the marine layer and getting results that can better measure the fire danger for Angelenos.

2:37 – 2:50Speaker 17

Today we're at Frank Hoskins Memorial Training Academy, dedicating the new National Weather Service Station. The other location had a little bit too much of a marine influence, and this location here is more reflective of the true downtown area.

2:51 – 3:14Speaker 11

This site was previously located on the campus of University of Southern California. We're going to be able to better sample in an area that's been much more vulnerable to brush fires. Our job at the National Weather Service is to protect life and property. We're watching the weather conditions across the area around the clock to make sure that everyone across Southern California is safe.

3:14Speaker 16

We've accomplished a tremendous feat.

3:16 – 3:32Speaker 26

How do I know the world is warming? Because we measured it. Here in Los Angeles, we've been measuring the temperature and rainfall since 1877. We're in the back of Dodger Stadium. All the instruments are brand new.

3:33 – 3:52Speaker 17

We use the weather every single day when we're going to work. Ten standard fire orders before we can engage in any fire. Number one states. Keep informed on all fire weather conditions and forecasts. What better place to get that from our own backyard when we're trying to make our fire weather predictions on what we're going to do.

3:59 – 4:13Speaker 22

The South LA Strong Block Party was held at Algin Sutton Rec Center to celebrate a major collaboration on public safety. This summer, children and families in the neighborhood will benefit from a full program of activities at the center.

4:18 – 4:36Speaker 18

This is the day we've been working towards for over 18 months here in this community, the kickoff of the Community Safety Partnership in Algin Sutton and the Algin Sutton community. We're very excited about it. Our park, Rec and Parks, is excited about it. The police department is excited about it. Most importantly, the community is excited about it.

4:38 – 5:12Speaker 18

Community Partnership says the parks, the police department, the neighborhood councils, the block clubs, the community-based organizations, community interventionists, we all work together to keep the parks safe. How do we keep it safe? By having amazing activities that families can engage in. every single day, from the swimming pool, to the LA Galaxy soccer field, to the Dodger dream fields, to the Clippers basketball court. Something for everybody here at Algin Sutton. We need everybody in the community to spend some time in the park, working with their neighbors, playing with their neighbors, but most of all, building community with their neighbors.

5:16 – 5:28Speaker 10

Well, the effort is to really get the community to get together, communicate and collaborate to make sure that we have a safe and productive summer here at Algeciras, not only in this park, but throughout our park systems as well.

5:39 – 5:56Speaker 22

At a recent resource fair in Council District 4, Studio City's Rec Center was the place to be as it was Council Member Nithya Raman's free movie night. To accompany the screening of Wonka, there were free soft drinks and snacks, tacos in fact. Talk about a great night out.

6:06 – 6:17Speaker 14

We are out here this evening at Beeman Park for the Studio City Movie Night in the Park. This is one of our favorite events that we get to be at and help bring to our communities.

6:18 – 6:31Speaker 24

We actually have our second movie night of the year along with our community safety fair. We partnered up with Studio City Neighborhood Council, CD4. We have a lot of great departments here to provide resources to our community members.

6:34Speaker 14

We have tacos here, we have lots of our service providers from the city, and we have Willy Wonka, which we are so excited to see.

6:48Speaker 21

The purpose for this event is to bring unity to our Studio City community for children and their families to have fun in a very safe environment.

7:03 – 7:14Speaker 24

It's a time for community members to spend time with their family, watch a great movie, eat some yummy food and get some more information on these perfect resources that are available to them.

7:17 – 7:39Speaker 14

Having free events in our public spaces just makes a more cohesive community where people know how to support each other, where people trust each other and do things together and we want to support that in every way that we can. If you want to meet us at the next one, you can check out Councilmember Rahman's social media channels. So follow us wherever you can so you can stay in the loop.

7:45 – 8:06Speaker 22

Since 1972, the Lotus Festival takes place in Echo Park to coincide with the blossoming of the lotus on the lake. At a recent event, we learned more about the Department of Recreation and Parks' upcoming Lotus Festival. This year's Lights of Dream Festival will spotlight the people and culture of the Philippines.

8:11Speaker 10

We're here in Echo Park Lake to kick off our 43rd annual Lotus Festival, honoring the country and culture of the Philippines.

8:21 – 8:43Speaker 25

We really like to celebrate our culture and the diversity that we bring to every aspect of life, whether it's in community events, whether it's the arts, the entertainment, we bring our own special, unique Filipino twist. And so that's why I'm so excited that the Lotus Festival this year is representing my country, the Philippines, right?

8:44Speaker 11

An archipelago of more than 7,000 islands with a unique blend of history, traditions, and artistry.

8:54 – 9:08Speaker 9

Well, you know, this is one of the keystone events for District 13, but it's so much more than that. This is a community-driven event. The Lotus Festival Inc. group every year comes together to celebrate and uplift a different community of the city, and this year we're celebrating Philippines.

9:09 – 9:38Speaker 20

Outside the health and other care centers all across the United States, where Filipino healthcare workers dedicate a lifetime of service to the society, Filipinos are most visible here in the state of California, where approximately 1.3 million Filipinos reside. What's more, over a quarter of them, about 340,000, are said to be concentrated in Los Angeles County alone.

9:39 – 9:53Speaker 10

There'll be a lot of cultural performances, a lot of arts and activities. We also have a play area for the kids that are here. It's just gonna be an amazing two days of cultural experience right here in Echo Park Lake.

9:54 – 10:05Speaker 9

when you see families come together and kids having fun. And personally, I love the food, and so I'm looking forward to experiencing all the different cuisines that the Philippine community has to offer.

10:05 – 10:16Speaker 10

Having an event like this just brings in everybody from the community to learn about the culture, but also to learn about each other, because this event attracts everybody throughout the entire city of Los Angeles.

10:21 – 10:39Speaker 22

The council president visits an L.A. U.S.D. after-school program. L.A. Sanitation's latest donation drive is for unused toiletries and City Ride, L.A.'s Department of Transportation service for seniors and people with disabilities. These stories up next on City Beat.

10:46 – 13:19Speaker 4

LA City Council President Paul Krikorian visited Hazeltine Elementary School to meet with participants in the after-school program, LA's Best. Run by Los Angeles Unified School District, LA's Best is a city-funded after-school and summer program that provides activities and coaching for children. For over 30 years, LA's Best has provided supervised after-school enrichment for elementary school students in neighborhoods with high needs and few resources. According to LA's Best, its programs and staff can help boost a child's self-confidence, which can be seen in increased school attendance and graduation rates. For more on the work of the Council President, visit CD2.LACity.gov. LA Sanitation and Environment City Facilities Recycling Program is collecting unopened hygiene items for its toiletry drive now through June 28th. Personal hygiene products are in high demand and the public is encouraged to donate such items as soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shaving cream and deodorant. New or unused toiletry donations may be dropped off Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at six public locations throughout Los Angeles. Donated items support LA's unhoused and are distributed to LA Sanitation's Livability Services Division, St. Francis Center, Los Angeles Mission, and Inside Safe participants. This is one of six annual donation drives hosted by LA Sanitation and Environment to assist outreach to our local unhoused neighbors. For more information, click on the Education and Sustainability tab at lacitysan.org. For seniors and people living with disabilities, there's a low-cost transit program specifically designed for you in the City of Los Angeles. CityRide, a service from LA's Department of Transportation, provides curb-to-curb rides for qualifying individuals at low to no cost. Participants in the CityRide program can get a reduced fare on dial-a-ride services and City of LA permitted taxi cab rides and free dash bus rides.

13:27 – 13:44Speaker 22

If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters! The Ectomobile drove up, the proton packs were on, and all the Ghostbusters were out in forest for the 40th anniversary of the movie's release and Ghostbusters Day in LA.

13:45 – 14:18Speaker 15

40 years ago, Ghostbusters burst onto the scene, one of the great comedy films of the 80s. I'd like to present this resolution and declare today to be Ghostbusters Day in the city of Los Angeles. We're here on the South Lawn of Los Angeles City Hall and just a few moments ago we declared today to be Ghostbusters Day in the city of Los Angeles.

14:21 – 14:42Speaker 27

It's been really overwhelming, a little bit unbelievable in a way. You know, it's not just people who like the movie, but I hear from people who say, like, oh, my father introduced me to this movie when I was a kid, and so it has all of this importance. And being a part of Ghostbusters and being a part of the family has been overwhelming in a way, much bigger than any other movie I've ever done.

14:42Speaker 1

My favorite Ghostbuster is Edom Spegler.

14:52 – 15:09Speaker 15

This was also about recognizing the extraordinary work that's being done, kids here in Los Angeles and throughout our country who really have a lot to be sad about. And thanks to LA Ghostbusters, they're really given a lot of joy as well.

15:10 – 15:35Speaker 8

Ghostbusters had such a wonderful impact on so many people, and one of the really special parts of it is they spend a lot of their time visiting children's hospitals, visiting kids, and we worked with them to create Ghostbusters themed gowns to give to kids in hospitals, just to give them a little smile, let them have a little fun, be a little cooler inside, and we're really happy to support that.

15:45 – 16:11Speaker 22

No green slime negative energy in that segment. Ghostbusters LA are certainly a force for good. The Los Angeles Public Library marked June Jubilee, a celebration of black excellence which highlighted a positive, uplifting slate of events at the Central Library. The Jubilee welcomed everyone to be in community and recognize the myriad accomplishments of black people in LA and beyond.

16:20Speaker 3

It is so fitting that we celebrate here at the Central Library of Los Angeles. With it is a vast repository of knowledge and information.

16:34 – 16:54Speaker 29

Today here at Central Library in downtown L.A., we are celebrating June Jubilee, which is a celebration of black excellence. It's free. It's for everyone. We're highlighting some amazing performers and artists. We're having programs here. We invite all to come out. Today is going to be an amazing day.

17:03 – 17:37Speaker 13

It is a fantastic day. I'm excited. Everyone at the Los Angeles Public Library is excited. It is June Jubilee, a celebration of black excellence here at Central Library. We have musical performances, craft programs. The celebration is taking up every corner of Central Library. And it's an opportunity to celebrate African-American history and culture, the contributions of African-Americans to Los Angeles. And it's also an opportunity to highlight exhibitions, collections, public programming, things we have in our special collections that document African American history here in Los Angeles.

17:39Speaker 29

We invite everyone to come out. It's free. That bond is always there. We always wish to celebrate with our communities together.

17:52 – 18:04Speaker 3

A big part of the liberation effort during slavery was teaching a slave how to read because literacy was seen as a way to uplift and empower a people.

18:16 – 18:40Speaker 22

In this week's feature story, council member John Lee moved to the northwest side of the San Fernando Valley as a child and has never left. He still lives there, loves the neighborhood, and represents the district and city council since 2019. Lee's Mayberry-style community re-elected him in March this year, and he outlined his commitment to serve to our Maria Hall-Brown.

18:51 – 19:09Speaker 6

Council District 12 for the City of Los Angeles encompasses the northwest side of the San Fernando Valley. Our guest today was not only reelected to serve as council member for the district, but he has been a resident since 1978, which is over 40 years. I'm delighted to be joined today by Councilmember John Lee. So nice to have you here.

19:09Speaker 7

Thank you so much for having me.

19:10Speaker 6

All right. As I mentioned, that's a long time staying in your home district. What is it about Council District 12 that makes you want to not only live there, but serve?

19:21 – 19:45Speaker 7

Sure. You know, it's the community that I was raised in. It's a community that I love so, so much. I think the reason why people moved to Council District 12, why they lived there, are the same reasons why my parents moved there in 1978. They wanted to move to an area where people take the time to actually get to know their neighbor. You know, I always like to say that Council District 12 is the last slice of Mayberry here in the city of Los Angeles because it is somewhere where you get to know your neighbors.

19:46 – 20:03Speaker 6

One of the huge, and you can't escape it, is the issue of the unhoused and homelessness. I know that you put in some pretty robust programs in your district. How are they in regards to getting people off the streets, but more importantly, what is your thought process in what needs to be done

20:04 – 21:17Speaker 7

When I took office, we had zero beds in Council District 12. I'm proud that in my first term in office, we were able to create hundreds of beds with a couple hundred more on the way. While I always believed that housing is a part of that solution, I think that we need to take a more holistic approach. In Council District 12, when we build shelters, we have to make sure that we have a drug addiction component, a mental health component into it. But I also think that we need to be doing more. We need to be doing more at the state level and the federal level because I've always seen mental health as health. And we have a mental illness crisis on our streets. If somebody's having a heart attack on the sidewalk, we pull over and we help that person. When we see someone having a mental illness crisis on our streets, the only tool in our tool belt to deal with this is repetition, is hoping that they accept services on the seventh time that they didn't accept six times before. We need to be able to do more in this area and to really treat the mental illness crisis as a health concern, which is something that I've always believed in and it's something I'm gonna continue fighting for.

21:17 – 21:30Speaker 6

Good, good, good. All right. Well, on an upbeat, positive note, you're back in, you know, you're reelected. You're back in this term. What are your priorities for, you know, this particular term? And what are your hopes and dreams?

21:31 – 22:10Speaker 7

You know, I think my focus has never changed. Being someone who was raised in that district, supporting law enforcement is not something that I thought of when I started working as a council member. It's a lesson that was taught to me by my community. And I think it's important that my community understands that that is a priority of mine because I know it's a priority of theirs. You know, making sure that we stay in a community where your child can ride their bike out of eyesight and not, you know, not be worried. Making sure that that safety is there. We are the safest district in the city of Los Angeles, and it's my intention to always keep it that way.

22:10Speaker 6

That's fantastic. Well, it was wonderful having you back in, and we look forward to seeing you again. And I know exactly what you mean by Mayberry. There may be people that may not remember the allusion.

22:20Speaker 7

Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me here.

22:23 – 22:38Speaker 22

I want to ask for 18 for a special comment on the case and also a modification. It seems to me that the municipal attorney has it. Is it available? Yes, it is available. Then go ahead. The modification says, I approve that in the 18th issue of today's agenda, it has to be modified to adopt the following recommendation instead of the number 3. Instructors and the CEO with the assistance of the Disability Department to develop a program called MacArthur Park-Westlake Area Rest Back Center. with an allocation of $3 million to the Opio agreement on that line. And it has to be reported with MacArthur Park Rest Lake Center and that its percentage of changes over time, compared with the time in the year, and as follows, identify the service and the information that was reported of the overdose in this area.

To help the CLA report in 30 days for these forms, that includes information for the use of this money that was used for these projects and this program, and its results of this program, and define the forms of success of this program and other forms of funds for this program, and it seems to me that there is a second motion for decision 3. Yes, it is. Councilor Blumenfield is doing the second. Any other special, Councilor Rodriguez? I would like to ask that 40 be special, 4-0 for a vote separately. Councilor McCaskill. I want to put 15 as pending and 20 as special for a modification. And it seems to me that the municipal attorney has it. These are about the urgency of these ordinances. And the modification says that I approve that in the issue 20 of today's agenda it has to be modified to adopt the order already reviewed by the municipal city. que se adjuntado a este reporte en lugar de cualquier otra ordenanza. Hago un segundo. ¿Algo más, señor MacAskill? Conseja Blumenfield.

Lo siguiente. ¿Podemos ir ahora al asunto 20 del secretario municipal? Sí, señor presidente. Muy bien. Entonces, ahora lo tenemos ante nosotros. Yo veo...

And I also want to recognize Mr. Sotomayor for a very important presentation. Mr. Sotomayor has the floor. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Antes de decir algunas palabras, porque tenemos a un invitado muy especial, quiero poner un video que es muy vergonzoso por mi parte, pero quiero escuchar la tenacidad aquí en la ciudad de Los Ángeles.

59:42Speaker 1

1:00:21 – 1:09:37Speaker 2

Él es un cuarto de mi edad, pero él va a ser mejor que yo. Muchísimas gracias. Como puedes ver, no tuve ninguna oportunidad con Oliver, pero sí para, por ejemplo, in the champion of 2024, and he returned from Washington, D.C. and was the 60th in the nation. He is very impressive. When I went to his house, he described the word with which he won in California, which was pity. I can't even, I don't know, I can't but it is something that is like a disease that is caused by a bacteria. He also plays the piano. He also reads The Economist every day. And here is his mother. Please give her a big applause and let's give her a moment to say a few words. First of all, I want to thank you all. It is an honor for me to be in the City Council. Quiero decir que esto es increíble para mí porque la experiencia no es nada, por lo menos para mí. Nadie no va a querer que escucharme a mí por 30 minutos, pero había 250 personas que sí lo van a hacer. Eso es algo maravilloso y como cualquier otra competencia, No one wants you to leave. No one wants you to leave. They want you to answer correctly. The experience is wonderful because during that time because you have to sleep. And I was able to meet incredible people and play with them, things that I could never have had or experiences that I had never had. It was a wonderful experience, even though I had to leave. But it was a pleasure to represent Los Angeles and I am grateful for this experience. And I want to thank everyone who helped me get where I could get. Muchísimas gracias, Oliver. Al menos, ¿alguien quiere decir algo? Sí, le quiero dar esto a Oliver, este reconocimiento a Oliver por todo su increíble trabajo. Lo hiciste, que Los Ángeles está muy orgulloso de ti y a California. Darle un aplauso más al campeón estatal. Muchas felicidades, Oliver. Es un gran logro. Y queremos ver todos tus logros que vas a lograr en el futuro. Muchas gracias.

And this is from page 1, day 70 of the processes. And it has to be said, the following things are added after the disciplinary procedures. The head of the police who can be fired immediately in section C, that they are suspended from their responsibilities and their work. And it says to add, remove, and not be able to be at work and be able to make a suspension and add paragraph 5, excuse me, add, remove the suspensions from the dismissal and add division 5 to be able to give these And for subsection 5, remove the people who are in rank on page 7, add the word arbitration from subsection N and all testimony in the Board of Directors or arbitration in the new language and remove it. And yes, there has to be an audience under oath for a transcript and the page seven, the subsection N, to remove this language that was accepted by part of the parties. Very good. This was the motion for these four modifications, and if someone can give me a second, I'll do the second. Is there any other modification that needs to be read to the municipal attorney? No, Mr. President. Okay, I'm going to call some names now. Please go to the left of the cameras so that the agents can be directed to the podium.

Good morning. Can you remind us what you want to talk about? Good morning. I'm here to speak to support the 18th.

1:10:54Speaker 1

I'm Karine Thelmer.

1:10:56 – 1:19:56Speaker 2

I'm a doctor's assistant and I'm a member of the Home Medicine Fund. And I started my career in 2007 as a physician assistant for doctors. And in this team at USC, we have trained a lot of people from 160 organizations, and they are based here in Los Angeles. We often hear the frustration from our patients and the participants of how many deaths there are on the street that have to do with the overdose. And what we are seeing is very alarming. When we are now waiting for the houses and beds and this form of participation, my observation in the years has been the reduction to be able to understand our philosophy of acceptance of the use of controlled substances. And we are providing this type of treatment. Time has run out. The next person, please. Good morning, member of the council. I'm talking to the general public commentator and the 18th. It's not open to the public commentator, but you can do it for the public commentator. So you have a minute. I am the executive director of the MacArthur Park Banquet Project. We have saved more than 300 lives from overdose in the last few years. Y algunas veces mi equipo responde a varios sobredosis al mismo tiempo en el parque. Estos números están llegando y no se están cumpliendo las metas y no podemos sostener la forma en la que estamos trabajando con Skirtball y MacArthur Park. Necesitamos capacidad como yo antes usaba. Thank you. Next, please. Good morning. Can you tell us in what name you registered and what issues you want to talk about? Good morning. I'm Karen Jurek. I'm also a doctor's assistant with this team and I'm giving public comment. So you have a minute. I'm a doctor's assistant and I'm working in District 1 specifically. I'm one of the people who is providing medical services in MacArthur Park. Me gustaría dar testimonio de lo que estamos viendo en el parque todos los días. Marcarse porque es algo que nunca, nunca lo hemos visto en la medicina de calle. Y esta es una población más joven usando otro tipo de sustancias. Nosotros hemos respondido a muchas sobredosis en el parque. También estamos en las heridas que hemos estado curando. Y es algo que nosotros... And also, apart from this, our patients have chronic and psychiatric needs. I'm here to tell them that we need more funds, and especially for the reduction of damage, because our patients are living on the streets, especially in MacArthur Park. One moment. I want to ask the municipal attorney if he can say something before we continue. Let's talk again. We're going to open up case 15 with its modification. We have David Bolliard and I am a resident and the owner of Silver Lake. Number two for the audience is for a vacation. Vacation from the street, basically remove... What we have in Silver Lake, this is not a good idea to remove a park. We have a space, it's a very nice space. I don't understand why the engineering report is suggesting this vacation. And this committee has approved. And they asked to deny that boat, but it's a bit depressing that we've come this far. Why the city... Le va quitar un parque que es muy atractivo y que ha ayudado mucho a esta colonia por lo menos 40. Yo he estado ahí 32. No entiendo cuál es la respuesta. A lo mejor hacer unos ingresos rápidos. Entonces en la ciudad de Los Ángeles que no tenemos muchos parques en la ciudad de Los Ángeles. Gracias. La siguiente persona, por favor. Spider Avila with a public comment. I am part of the community of Los Angeles. The director, as the workers in front of us, we are always helping with the overdose in MacArthur Park. And our participants with their overdose, we are saving lives and helping not to infect these diseases. And we are also providing Thank you very much. The next person. I am Paula, 19 years old. I am a public health teacher. Le estoy pidiendo a esta ciudad que se den estos fondos para el OPE, para poder ayudar con la pandemia del parque de MacArthur, donde la mayoría son indígenas en estas residencias. Ellos enfrentan mucha violencia de las deportaciones del sistema y no tienen suficientes servicios para viviendas y para el empleado. and also including the mortality of these patients. My grandmother and my first generation are having a medical crisis due to the social abundance of the state government. is showing racism to the indigenous people. For my communities that returned and escaped to the United States, to help justice, we need to have this reduction in age. Next please. Good morning. I'm Kaitlin Molina. I'm talking to the public. I'm talking to the public on the 18th issue. I'm the manager for the drug check-in. I work with UCLA to help with drugs and the use of controlled substances. I'm asking them to have funds for the operation of the opiate. This is very... para las jeringas que se están usando en el parque. Sin embargo, no pudimos determinar si una persona la estaba usando esta sustancia controlada por diferentes cheques de drogas. Este centro nos da permiso de hacer pruebas para este tipo de drogas y tenemos diferentes experiencias y dar oportunidades para poder educar a los participantes que están usando esto. Y para poder proporcionar la prevención de sobredosis, le estoy pidiendo y dando las gracias a todas las organizaciones que están trabajando con MacArthur Park para apoyar la comunidad. Gracias.

1:20:05 – 1:22:21Speaker 28

Ya salí. Buenos dias, si por favor nos puede recordar cuáles son los nombres con los que se registró, cuáles son los asuntos de los que desea hablar. Si, mi nombre es Brent Hatchberger y estoy hablando del Comité Republico General para el asunto 18. Tiene un minuto. Soy el maestro. of public health, including medication for cancer. Today I am speaking as a representative of UCLA. I strongly support the funds for the reduction of damage, including in MacaproPARP. This is to promote And the health of the people who use drugs, for example, providing injections and techniques that are tested to improve results and save lives and to build trust, to facilitate connections, to... El tratamiento de las sustancias. Estos fondos deberían ser utilizados en servicios de reducción de los daños. Así que estoy fuertemente en favor del asunto 18. Muchas gracias a usted. El siguiente, por favor. Todos los asuntos y un comentario público. Buenos días. Tienes tres minutos para los asuntos y un minuto para el asunto general. OK. Muy bien. Entonces, OK. Vamos a comenzar con... Hay un asunto que es el 29 para iluminar el ayuntamiento para las olimpiadas. A la mierda con las olimpiadas.

1:22:25Speaker 3

Basically, this is to have more policy, more genderification.

1:22:32 – 1:34:41Speaker 28

It's not going to be anything good for the community. This is not in favor of the community, so we should have all of you participating in the events. They are... Tenemos el asunto 30, que es dinero para los soplones. ¿Por qué no hay ningún dinero de recompensa si tenemos información cuando las policías matan a dos personas? Siempre tienen dinero para cuando algún civil, pero ninguna información si tenemos para información cuando un policía le dispara a alguien. Ojalá que tuviéramos ese dinero. El 33, la moción secundada por Kevin de León. Esa debería ser pasado para el concilio. El 35, Crecoria. Ustedes están todos desilusionados que no fue la policía que estaba haciéndole esto a Burbank. No les importa en realidad nada de los desamparados. Simplemente están decepcionados porque ustedes no lo hicieron a Burbank. Así que tenemos el asunto 40 que está relacionado con la reforma del gobierno. Pueden pretender que están reformando la ciudad mientras que está Let's go to the general public comment now. Okay, it's a minute. Okay, it looks like he left the room. but I wanted to talk about Katie's lies and the lies of the Basque Council. And the event that happened on Sunday was in the synagogue. It was an event to sell stolen land from the Palestinians to the colonizers. This thing that belongs, that was stolen, that's what they were protesting, right? The people who were violent are the ones who supported this event, who went to attack the people who protested at the event. That's what happened. So stop trying to change the narratives. El evento estaba vendiendo tierras que estaban robadas. No estaba en una protesta religiosa. No era acerca de una sinagoga. Era acerca de un evento. Ahora tiene un, se le acabó su minuto del comentario público. Sí, no, estaba mirando el tiempo. Pues no pudieron resetearlo cuando pidió. Así que sí, tuvo su minuto completo. Así que gracias al siguiente, por favor. Buenos dias. Quiero hacer un comentario publico, si tiene un minuto. Me gustaría pedir una postergación para que se va a hacer hoy la reunión para el día del 2 de julio para Second San Andrés y para los proyectos de multifamilias de Panorama City. Gracias. El siguiente. Good morning. My name is Adam and I'm from the Civil Rights Committee here to demand that Polka I have an independent audience for the report and for all the departments that have said goodbye, that with Trichet are here in this meeting and with respect to the narratives against the anti-Semites and the violence that the politicians say on Sunday. My Jewish friend threw gas at him with pepper because he was They were protesting against the genocide and the occupation of land in Palestine. It was disgusting to look at the children of Palestinians who were burned alive in the videos yesterday in Gaza when they were bombed. Thank you. Thank you. Sigue perturbando la reunión. Se tiene que retirar, por favor, inmediatamente, en este momento. Rápido, por favor, tenemos que conducir una reunión. Váyase. Ok, ya se los advierto muchas veces en la instrucción que se bache, así que por favor hágalo calladamente. ... ... ... ... ... ... Por favor, oficiales, tienen que quitar a todos los que son parte de estas perturbaciones. Adiós, señor Reid, que tenga un buen día. Antes de empezar, voy a llamar a más números. DJ. Chris O'Shea. Andrew Grainer está perturbando. ¿Está todavía o está fuera? Voy a pedir que se los excluya de esta reunión. De acuerdo. Sigue perturbando, aun cuando ya salió. Chris O'Shea. Yes, my name is Dr. Kinley-Schwan, and I'm making a general public comment today on issue 18. You have a minute. I'm the Director of the Collaboration of Medicines and an Association of Medicines in the USC. I'm working on police issues about the helpless and health issues in the last 15 years. And confidently I can say that the Service of Reduction of Damage is one of the Pruebas más evidentes que tenemos, hay una evidencia internacional robusta de que cuando las personas están haciendo servicios de reducción de daños, más efectivamente pueden obtener y mantener sus hogares. Estos servicios reducen la muerte o sobredosis hasta un 80%, 70% reduce la transmisión de daños. Thank you very much. Thank you. Buenos dias. Si mande el 35 comentario publico general, por favor, tiene un minuto para el asunto y un minuto para el comentario publico general. Por favor, empieza el 35. Tenemos que nuestros gastos de recursos tenemos que estrecharlo. Esto es acerca de la... is asking the district to investigate, instead of asking the Burbank police, which is what happened today in his own conference. He also mentioned something about not asking the Burbank police, which is what happened, but going directly to the mayor. That is a waste of resources. It is totally inappropriate to present this in the presentation as an investment. You have to be more careful with your words. And as I said, narrow your topic of conversation and your investigations of all those resources that pay the taxes. About the general public comment. You have a minute for the general public comment. Creo que todo lo que dije se le pasó por arriba de la cabeza porque todo el mundo está conversando de sus propios temas. está prestando atención a la reunión. Todo el mundo está teniendo conversaciones entre ellos. Por favor, díganme qué fue lo que dijeron. Hagan un resumen de lo que dijeron. Maybe tal vez me escucharon un poco, pero no están escuchando. Esto no es un quórum. Esto no es apropiado. Ustedes tienen que sentarse, hacer su trabajo, conducir sus... Pero cuando la gente habla haciendo sus comentarios públicos, esto muestra cuánto que no les importa nada. Los aprecia. El consejero de la padilla dijo que antes de sentarse trata de llegar temprano I see this here and there in some councils, but this is absurd. They have to do things better. Next, please. Yes, please, can you remind us the issues of the... I have a... I was evicted and the judge lied. He said that beyond the fact that the accused met all the requirements... . . . . . . . . Yes, he's listening to me. This is his time to speak, not to put... I have a voice message that he can deliver. Okay, stop my time, please.

1:34:41Speaker 3

You have 15 seconds, give them more.

1:34:43 – 1:48:53Speaker 28

I have... They are telling me that they can't show me how to make my folder, and they left my proofs outside. I was evicted in the wrong way. District 14, please. If there is a person from District 14 who can make sure, let's see if someone can talk to her. Yes, please, to clarify, the city and this body have no authority or jurisdiction. on the court. systemic racism with the forces of the law here in Los Angeles. The police are always investigating illegally due to gender discrimination, race, and also retaliation. These are violations of the Constitution, of the Second Amendment, of the Fifth Amendment, of civil rights. I'm asking each of the councilors here for the order of investigation. This was... Okay, I'm going to call now the next Jake Dean. And then the rest of the people who registered, who used stupid children's names, false names. If you use any of those false children's names, you can get closer. I think I called everyone. If anyone else wants to talk, you can do it. Good morning. What is the matter? I want to talk about all the issues you have. I have three minutes and one minute for the public comment. Please start with Susana. Okay, thank you. I have three minutes and one minute for the public comment. The subject is 30. that is Gerastasen and Park, once again. The prosecutor's office, the municipal attorney, do you remember how many times I spoke about this? People are already tired of me still talking about something similar, which is postponing offering rewards to the sold. Since what time, Mr... We are not asking the police to solve the problem, but the members of the public of what type of area, what type of jurisdiction of the council we are asking a civilian to help you solve the murder. That is ridiculous. I know I will return with the same agenda next month. I know it. El siguiente, vamos a hablar del número 33, Kevin DeLeon, que es apoyo a Kevin DeLeon. El número 2 es acerca de servicios de investigación de... Mr. Attorney, you don't like me, but what I see is that when you go to a school, a middle school, a secondary school, or a high school, or a university, you will see that most of those students have very easy access to marijuana and weed. What we are seeing here in the city of Los Angeles is that they are so easy, in the enforcement, there is no consequence to make this type of marijuana. It keeps invading the streets, the homes, and also our school system. Sometimes even the children of middle school, when they pass by, they smell like marijuana. They are small children and they smell like grass. And this is because there is no enforcement. Their time at that point is over. We continue talking about 34, Kevin DeLeo, no, 34 is PARC. It's passing the funds to the reach team, the council of PARC, yes, I support this because, as I said so many times, los servicios de los desamparados. Muchas veces ustedes continúan ayudando a los desamparados, a estos servicios desamparados, pero lo que sé es que la población de los desamparados sigue subiendo. Así que cuanto más trabajo hacen, más desamparados terminan en la calle. No sé por qué, pero sé que esos son los hechos. Así que ahora vamos a pasar al comentario público general. Ok, tiene un minuto. Puede empezar el comentario público general. I'm going to talk about number 35, which is the Burbank police incident. The police department would like to say that when the Angels I remember the governor of Texas who sent a bus to Union Station full of homeless people. And I think that's what they're doing now. They're doing Burbank, Pasadena, and similar things. But the only thing is Thank you. Oscar Llamo No tiene nada que ver con este idiota de aquí. Cuidado con eso. Y dijo que había cierto lenguaje. Y Gregoria no estaba prestando atención. Y ahora estamos aquí para abrir una vez más los comentarios públicos. Pero ¿sabes lo que hiciste? Mi fotógrafo. Fotos del señor Cabeza de Calabaza en una reunión secreta con otros abogados. Usted se lo invitó ahí, Paul. Y usted, Eunice, ¿por qué su abogado teniendo reuniones secretos con los abogados y no te están diciendo y no te están invitando? Creo que se llama una sesión cerrada, pero número quince es para hacerlo todo más fácil, para echar a los policías, sí, lo apoyo, échenlos a todos. Ok, se le acabó el minuto, así que por favor, sí, ya sé, ya sé. El número cuatro... The mini-market in West Roscoe Boulevard is in district 6, but I think this is in the north. Isn't this district 2? I think it's in the wrong district. Let's ask Imelda. Is number 4 really in your district? Okay, yes. Of course, you're not paying attention. Maybe you're sending a text message to an associate, but I'm going to support you. Why? Because once the boulevard Rasco is a shit. In district 2. So go there all. Like Frank Sinatra used to be there to drink. Drunk with bad liver under the table. And the motion of the helpless, the 35s. taking a lot of homeless people from the beautiful city of Burbank to be taken in a truck in front of their office. After all, Paul, you don't use your community center for an immigrant center. And you threw out all the helpless people that Mr. Gass said, that Mr. Gass won a prize yesterday. I don't know if you knew that. Oh, you don't care about the helpless people. You never cared. You never cared. Yes, I agree with that. And I tell them, to hell with the Burbank police department, please. They could... We want to thank General Padilla for burning a firefighter. and their camps exploded in Havenhurst, Burbank, where all those voices, those voicemails, and when the firemen come out and get a lawyer, they can make a CPR request and know that Imelda has... suficiente notificación y eso es lo que dice Paul. Así que él pueda después, más tarde, hacer un juicio por condiciones peligrosas y tener millones y millones de dólares. Usted es hora y finalmente vamos a darle las gracias a UNICEF por cerrar un parque de drogas en su distrito. Sí, como ustedes lo saben, Muchas gracias. El siguiente, por favor. Se le acabó el tiempo. Buenos días. Esto es algo que tenemos que todos los días. Sí, tomen su tiempo. Gracias. Mi nombre es Bianca Roe. Y yo soy la... I'm going to make a request on the second issue. I'm not sure how many minutes I can have if I talk about the second issue. You have one minute. And you have one minute for a public comment. I want to keep talking. Okay. Yes. Yes, the public comment is fantastic. The second issue. This is in relation to the request for vacations. This question is a street dedicated to the city for 100 years. Today I am asking the city to provide the evacuation of the street because there is no other designated function or budget. It is an empty street, it is not a park. So in terms of evacuating the owners, which are me and another family, we have to maintain the sidewalks on the sides and the passage for the cloacas. Nowadays, with the maintenance and cleaning of the streets of the city, the city has done nothing to maintain this street for the last 60 years. and we have trees that are destroying our properties and also cloacas. We have been subjected to fines and citations, and we are being held responsible for the mitigation of fires. And we also have the burden of the problems of the helpless outside of our... It is already full of broken bottles and vandalism. We have been part of the conversation to find a solution. This is a green space for the last 20 years, but it was never formalized. It never had any results. So we are applying for the evacuation formally to maintain the street. In fact, we are paying. So I wish there were more. They want more green spaces. However, this is not a life park. Due to the inclination, it can never be a park. ADA is not complying with... The inclination that this vacant house has, evacuation, there is no place for our families, except that it is formally evacuated and we take the necessary actions to maintain the properties correctly. The Ider and Grove family, we are asking for approval. Thank you.

1:49:01 – 1:49:40Speaker 28

Buenos días. Si por favor puede recordarnos el nombre con el que se registró. Los asuntos que los que desea hablar. Sí, Corsman, para el récord. Quiero hablar de todos los asuntos. Comentario público. Tiene tres minutos para los asuntos y un minuto para el comentario público general. Comienza con los asuntos y por supuesto. Hola, ¿cómo están, mierdas? ¿Por qué estás utilizando esa camiseta? Un minuto nada más para el comentario público. How are you? It's been a couple of months.

1:49:40Speaker 16

How old are you?

1:50:31 – 1:57:20Speaker 2

Ahora vamos a ir con las personas en el teléfono. Vamos con la primera persona en el teléfono. Buenos días, ¿en qué asuntos usted quiere hablar? Thank you. Can you give us one of those announcements in Figueroa? Because this has nothing to do with the others. This is your last warning. If not, I have to pass it on to the general public comment. Very good. So what was good was in Figueroa. If once again every day is what you do in Figueroa, then we are going to go to the public comment. You have one minute to speak. Sigue adelante con su comentario público general. La siguiente persona. ¿En qué asuntos usted quiere hablar? ¿En qué asuntos quiere usted hablar? Todos los que están abiertos. Empiece con los asuntos. Con todas estas cosas que ustedes tienen, ¿por qué no han dado al smoking scan? De las cosas que ustedes van a hacer, hubiéramos podido hornear un poco de marihuana y tener algún compromiso. Y entonces para el 35... And with 135 million dollars that you spend on a building of 21 buildings, what other cities think that maybe you just want to spend this money? If you want to have more money in the year, then obviously people are going to take advantage. And so that also has to do with that, because maybe the mayor thinks he did something special, but really the only thing he did was take that money. And he's not even helping so many people. He's not even helping with a program for the helpless. To the public comment, I know that it's very bad that someone is not asking for that girl, and her father for behaving in a way that they did because her father was corrupt and she thinks that she is too and they are seeing the counsellor who is maybe saying something that they don't care about maybe if they are saying that it is because you are behaving in a way Why don't you take a step back? I don't think anyone in the council would say, I want to be an idiot to be able to do bad things for my city. Go to your roots. And please check your email. Thank you, Mama. Good morning. Please start with the issues. I'm in the 29th, about illuminating the town hall at the Olympics. How can you be against the Olympics? It's one of the best events that society has ever known. And they're coming in four years. Y tenemos que hacer todo lo posible para poderlo hacer a lo mejor posible como fueron en el 84. Fue gran parte de esto un buen evento. El 30, la gente, miren. Yes, they can't solve the problem if we don't all help them because the detectives and the police don't feel that they are spying when you know things that have committed a crime. And you can make the families of these victims help them and have a resolution with this. Comments? The public has a minute. Thank you. I was counting on the smoking scan because I said, oh, these people are going to help us with corruption. Unas cosas que yo escuché fueron maravillosas. Yo iba a empezar a respetar a la gente. Pero ahora, tenemos unos locos que están hablando de Figueroa. No están ellos avergonzados de ellos mismos. Lo único que hablan es la perversión. Necesitan hacer mejor las cosas para ayudar a esta ciudad. No sé de quién es este... the head of this group, but please, you have to do something to not be so shameful. The next person. What do you want to talk about? Good morning.

1:57:24Speaker 16

What do you want to talk about?

1:57:32 – 2:02:23Speaker 2

Three. Thirty-one. And thirty-three. Three minutes. And general public comment. There's an echo. Yes. Yes. I'm going to turn it off right now. I'm going to talk about the issues and public comment on number three. del persona de la policía, de sus licencias del alcohol. Cuando hay tantos desamparados, eso es exactamente lo que no necesita la Ciudad de Los Ángeles, porque él está demandando la Comisión de las Éticas. And I ask you not to vote in favor of this matter on the part of John Lee, because he is making it worse instead of increasing it, because he is making these homeless increase instead of improving. Instead of also working to improve and increase the number of employees for the people. This emotion is a very big madness. in the history of the United States. In case 31, with this money that there is some kind of funds, because Mr. Corian has more than a billion dollars for the police, This should be taken to the police budget and taken to the people who are voting for this. And in my opinion, it should be voted on. Yeah, yeah. Y también por una vez más por John Lee de que es un racista de los policías. Yo siento que se debe no votar a favor. Porque este dinero potencialmente va a ir a los delincuentes de color negro. Y a las personas de este consejo. De la persona que no fue elegida de Heather Hart. Para su campaña de reelección. And I also ask you not to vote in favor of a resolution on the 17th where Mr. De Leon wants to give part to his friends who are developers. A lot of corruption. Now, public comment. You have one minute. El consejo de los Angeles es el consejo más corrupto en todo el estado y en todo el país. Y también para el precariedad. Y que se están haciendo votos con personas que no han sido elegidas como Heather Hutt. and that Uncle Tom has been accused of this council of the city. This never gets old. I ask everyone to give up. And the dictator Emmanuel Krikorian. And people of color are not... Have a nice day. The next person. What do you want to talk about? Los últimos dígitos, 7, 2, 5, 5. Veo que te prendes el micrófono. Ve adelante. El candidato sexto. Te escuchamos. ¿En qué asuntos quieres hablar? Todos los que están disponibles y el comentario público.

2:02:24Speaker 1

Empiezo con los asuntos.

2:02:28 – 2:20:43Speaker 2

Let's start with number two and this situation of the parks. When are we spending so much money for the parks in these districts? Now you're going to remove one? In 2022, when he applied, I said that they were going to start doing these developments in this area. And look what is happening when we are removing the parks to build these buildings. And there are not so many areas that we can do. We are going to lose a lot. And then I also talked about the 80-90 Woodman Avenue to be able to make Mrs. Padilla become responsible because she already knew about this, about this park. Yesterday in the Sepulveda Basin they knew that there were people and no one was doing anything about it. This makes me very surprised. Número 15, sobre la reforma del LAPD. Creo que tienen que realmente pensar esto porque cuando aprobamos una ley, buscamos una forma fuera de ella. Van a hacer algo, por ejemplo, no dejen que esto suceda. Asegúrense de que el castigo va a ser muy serio y fuera de las manos. and that there are going to be consequences of their actions. They don't want to make a complaint when it's supposed to be a dismissal. Fifteen. Thirty-five. The hospitals. The reasons why they do it is because they don't want to deal with it and deal with any of this. Because we are a state of sanctuary. Everyone comes here and they are managing it. And where is the money that the state gave to help the disabled? No one is even talking about that. That's the funny thing. They only talk when it happens. But number 33. Yes, the... Cabras van y comen hierbas, los dejan, pero entonces si viene. Cuando hacen popoya, hacen un fertilizante y entonces es un gran problema porque simplemente están comiendo las hierbas. Entonces desháganse de esta idea de las hierbas con las cabras. Esta fue muy mala idea por parte de Rodríguez. 24, esto debería ser una prioridad para los desamparados. Comentario publico general. Hemos estado hablando de esto desde el principio. Comentario publico. Sí, adelante. In order for Mrs. Padilla to be financially or physically responsible, because she saved $90 or $80 for this encampment, in a property that she is not helping, Starbucks, and I already saw it, they need help for this, for demolition, so that Starbucks can develop We have the people who are living outside. I was reported to the health department last Friday. I heard or heard that I... What issues do you want to talk about? Good morning, how are you doing in Canoga Park? Can you change your phone? The municipal attorney has to go. It's very difficult to hear you because you can't hear his voice well. Yo tengo el volumen más bajo. Adelante, Sean. Quiero darle las gracias. Asistí a su evento. Ese fue un muy buen evento. Gracias. Me trató bien. La mayoría de la gente diría que cuando vas no te tratan bien. Bueno, me trató bien. Necesitamos proteger nuestras sinagogas. The Jews are being beaten, they are being raped. It's not right. We have to protect them. When I grew up, there were Jews. I grew up in that area. I know what it is. I feel bad for them. Tenemos que proteger a nuestras sinagogas judías. Gracias, Gregorian. Una persona más. ¿En qué asunto quiere usted hablar? ¿Me escuchan? Sí, sí las escuchamos adelante. ¿En qué asuntos usted quiere hablar? 335 en general. 3.35 in general? Yes. So we have a more difficult problem, the problem opposite to the other. Please start with the subjects. Thank you, I'm Johanna. And I am a volunteer from ICANN and I have also worked with the reduction and the reach and the investigation in the last six years to protect all the people who have been a victim of children in Palestine and a license for alcohol. We know that One of the ways in which we can help this problem with alcohol is by regulating it. We have a place of consumption that is called for alcohol. Why aren't we doing that with drugs? And, for example, the people we are treating, the people who use meth, And it's because of the third issue. But when you are doing these alcohol licenses, please consider when you are taking these opiates and the variety of that and this kind of shit. We see that the reduction of the damage really doesn't matter if they are clean and if at the end of the appointment de un millón de Gavin Newsom para dárselos las cosas tóxicas para ayudar a estas instalaciones. Y no queremos ver este dinero que vayan ahí para estas soluciones que no van a servir, de los problemas que estamos enfrentando. Necesitamos ver la discriminación por parte de los políticos. Estoy ahora en el 35. or am I in the third? Yes, now you're almost at the end of your time. Was there another subject you wanted to talk about, or do you want to make a public comment? Yo creo que es una ironía para esta investigación de abondar a esta persona de su casa porque se está apoyando el Cariño 18. Hemos estado pidiendo este reporte el último año y eso ayuda como el estrés de estas personas que no tienen una casa, cuáles son los impactos. by this department that is involved. People move to other places and face violence. 4118 is violence, public comment. Simplemente para volver a decir un poco más esto sobre el uso de este dinero para este tratamiento, de usarlo en este centro en el Distrito 1 que se necesita. Yo soy un residente de MacArthur Park. Yo ayudo a la gente ahí. Yo veo los servicios de cómo no van estos servicios a la gente que lo necesita. Y cuando estamos pensando qué tipo de alcance es consistente, es Ramparts. Gracias. Se le acabó el tiempo. And this will be the end of the public comment on all the agenda issues and also public comment in general. Now, what can we vote on, Mr. President? We can vote from 1 to 3, 5, 21 to 31, 41 and 42, sir. Now we have this before us. Does anyone want to say something on these issues? I don't see anyone. The votes are open. se cierran, se tabulan. 13, a favor. Consejala Jorolowski, quiero pedir que el 41 se mande para la aprobación a la alcaldesa sin objeción. Esta será la orden. Vamos al número 18. Esto fue especial por parte de la consejala Hernández. This is going to be the modification 18A and also on behalf of Councilor Blumenfeld in 18B. Yes, Councilor Hernandez, I just want to confirm that we are not going to have a presentation. No, there is not, right? Yes, thank you. Me parece que ustedes recibieron unos paquetes. Este, que es lo que mi equipo y yo pusimos, hicimos, y este otro informe del condado de Los Angeles y de la prevención, del departamento de prevención y control, SAFSI, Voy a tratar de hacer rápida una de nuestras juntas en un comité de las colonias. Trajimos a expertos del condado y a nuestros expertos y personas que han estado impactados directamente de este abuso de sustancias controladas, cuáles son las necesidades que ellos están viendo en MacArthur por el equipo de la medicina. that are there twice a week. We wanted to know what was going on. They are going to have these presentations, and I'm going to talk about the second one quickly, but I also wanted to give you a little bit of history. The whole country has been in an opioid crisis in the last three years of 2019 and 2021, California, and it rose to 21% in accordance with the Department of Health. And this has to do with Betamine. And the most obvious is MacArthur Park, which is the epicenter of this crisis. And if you haven't seen it, you can drive with me to see it. I agree that this is critical, that this treatment is going to create ways for recovery, but the reality is that we can only treat them if we keep them alive. The medical services are responding to four calls a day in that area, in that park. Las llamadas fueron 50 llamadas en un turno de noche para hacer la sobredosis. No sé si ustedes sepan, pero yo traje a la estación 13 porque fue una de las estaciones más ocupadas en todo el país. ¿Por qué? Porque tienen muchas llamadas a las que tienen que responder en el parque Mark Arthur. Y en este código postal donde se encuentra este parque, esto es mucho más que en el... This has to do with how extreme this has been for this park. And in this center of respiration, which will ensure that people can get help so that people who have this addiction to controlled substances can receive this type of services to help them reverse the overdose. Please, colleagues, listen to me. This is not a place to be able to have this type of substances. This is not what we are trying to do here today. This is going to be the first defense to be able to help this because this is necessary for this treatment. This is not something new. Hay muchas colonias en esta ciudad que ya están haciendo este tipo de servicios para poder confrontar esta crisis. Después de que termine de hablar en este año, en abril, el Departamento de... The police found fentanyl near this park and one of the encampments. We have examples here of these centers of respiration and the centers of the helpless. and both have been shown that these models to be able to save lives and once these lives can be saved, the services of the homeless enter and also the program by the mayor's office. Colleagues, I ask you that with this report it is to be able to save lives because these communities are one of the most vulnerable that we have and if you can support me in this. Nada más quiero hablar sobre un poco de la información de lo que está pasando en MacArthur Park. El 20% de ellos viven más abajo de la línea de pobreza. And recently, 15 calls in a night shift, 33 of them simply in the MacArthur postal code. We are trying to talk to a respiratory center that is going to give different services, giving services for services such as wound care, showers. y de otros modelos de estos centros en Los Angeles y en todo el país, estos espacios han ayudado para reducir la sobredosis y para los servicios médicos o de policía o de los bomberos y ayuda para el público general. Quiero agregar algo más, si me lo permiten. Con esto, es simplemente una estrategia que estamos haciendo para esta área Mi equipo ha estado haciendo para hacer este tipo de recuperación porque había muchos proveedores pero no servían todos. Muchos no se terminaban. Muchas veces eran dos al mismo día. Hemos coordinado muchos de estos servicios para hacerlo seis veces a la semana. Tenemos un equipo. two times a week we have a group of workers and also suppliers who are helping us to provide these services and to be able to make these parks of the police and other equipment to be able to help us. Y empezamos teniendo diferentes kioscos para poder, este tipo, para quitar estas jeringas que si no se iban a hacer, a tirar de manera no segura. Yo sé que estamos en un déficit de presupuesto, entonces yo he estado tratando de ver de dónde más podemos conseguir este dinero para tener un agente de los bienes de estar, es para ubicar un edificio, para tener más recursos. Y ahora tenemos tres millones de dólares en la ciudad, pero tenemos medio millón y estamos en el proceso de un millón de dólares con el condado para ayudarnos con este equipo de prevención. Ahora estoy aquí con frente de la ciudad para poder terminar este proyecto con todas las capas de estos servicios. Gracias. Muy bien, muchas gracias. Creo que nadie más quiere decir nada. Entonces vamos a votar. Ah, perdón, Consejala Rodriguez. Perdón, creo que esta pantalla está un poco retrasada. Muchas gracias. Felicidades, señora Hernández. Le quería dar las gracias por este trabajo.

2:20:50 – 2:49:56Speaker 28

Juan, it is a great challenge, what it has been in the last, almost the last 30 years, and if you have your in and out, and everything that is happening with this opium crisis. When I walk through Alborado, I go to 6 o'clock, or around Wiltshire, you can't see it. We recognize this tremendous need. I want to congratulate you for all the incredible work you have done to solucionar este problema que es muy complicado, muy difícil. Y aprecio todos los esfuerzos para aprovechar los recursos. Pero desde mi lado, cuando veo los presupuestos y cómo se están balanceando esos dólares, me hace una pausa para apoyarlo porque quiero ver el plan y entender mejor en términos de las causas y cómo estamos maximizando los recursos. Sé que va a ser un trabajo muy importante, pero sin esa información, No puedo apoyarlo en este momento, así que en general apoyo sí. Me gustaría ver, pues esto no es la única área que está siendo afectada por este asunto, cómo estamos desarrollando modelos y respuestas para que pueda ser aplicado de manera sistemática en toda la ciudad. Creo que eso es lo importante. to really make the most of these resources. We see how these resources are being used for specific efforts, but we don't know what the result will be. I think that as we develop these models, we will be able to attract the resources, the investments, where the dollars come from, ¿Cuál es la mejor manera de financiar esto? Lo felicito y creo que sería fantástico cuando recibamos los reportes mientras que empieces a rastrear esos resultados. Puedes mirar y ver si esto se puede hacer a nivel de escala. ¿Vale la pena seguir invirtiendo o habrá otros modelos que serían más efectivos? Pero sé cuán desesperada es este trabajo. Gracias por encarar esto, especialmente en un lugar tan difícil. Councilor Hernandez, thank you. I appreciate your comments, Councilor Rodriguez, and I want to tell everyone that I am 100% committed to ensuring that the information that you want, the disclosure of the investment that will all be delivered, I have no doubt that we will be able to provide this information and work with the local universities to help us produce this information . a las instituciones para traer todas estas informaciones para cruzar la línea de final veo que no hay nadie más en la lista así que como vamos a proceder tenemos dos enmiendas y vamos a votar primero las enmiendas esperando con el más reciente que será el 18B Y en ese asunto, vamos a, en la enmienda 18B, vamos a abrir la lista para votar y cerrar y tabulamos los votos. Tenemos 12 sí, gracias. Ahora vamos a tomar la 18A que está frente a ustedes. Veo que no hay nadie que desea hablar acerca de esto. La enmienda 18A abrimos ahora para votar y cerramos y tabulamos los votos. Entonces, sí, muy bien. Entonces, en estas dos mociones han pasado. Ahora vamos a votar el 18 según ha sido enmendado por el 18A y el 18B. Ok, abrimos y cerramos y tabulamos. Entonces, sí o no. Okay. Muy bien. Entonces ahora vamos a pasar ahora al asunto quince. I would like to recognize Councilor McCaskill, Mr. President. Thank you very much, Mr. President. First of all, I want to describe the amendments of today. We have a language very late last night that was put on the portal based on the rules of Friday. The language that was proposed and that came out y quiero dejar claro que hay cuatro enmiendas técnicas que querría repasar y quiero darle cierto contexto. La primera enmienda es la página 1, bajo el 1070, el derecho de los procedimientos de todos los procesados. agregar que dice después de haber seguido los procedimientos, el jefe de policía puede terminar directamente. Esto no quiere decir que no va a haber nada más que la escala normal bajo las leyes aplicables y bajo los contratos antes de que se impongan las disciplinas. Hay un procedimiento I want to make it very clear, there is no amendment from the statute that can remove the procedures or those processes that are made in contract number 2. On page 2, there is a language to add the word remove to remove. Temporarily remove and put a new subsection 5 on that second page that would say remove that member. Period. And let me give you a little bit of context, and I'm sure we'll talk more about this today before this amendment, before the people vote under Section 1070. These rights are applied to all these processes, they are applied to motions, to suspensions, and there is the ability to remove at the end of the process of rights. I don't think it's... and this amendment removes that power for matters that are sent to the Board of Directors. Se le agrega, pero no se le quita poder al jefe que existe hoy. La tercera enmienda en la página 7, en el segundo párrafo, agregar o arbitración, arbitraje. Creo que esto es algo que faltó, que se lo pasaron por alto, porque agregaremos todas las audiencias de arbitraje. Eso es nada más para aclarar que hay un récord de esto, que todo sea transcrito. Y luego la cuarta enmienda, la página 7, y en el tercer párrafo, eliminar, según todos están de acuerdo, y no quitar el poder de una parte o de la otra. No, no queremos ningún récord de esto. Estas son las cuatro enmiendas al lenguaje de ayer a la noche, que creo que son muy técnicos, señor presidente. ¿Podemos hacer una revisión de lo que tenemos ahora? Sí, creo que sería de ayuda. Para ponerlo en contexto, lo que está frente a nosotros marca un... a dramatic change in the way we do the discipline in the city of Los Angeles. We said this before, that if we go back to the Commission Cruz The head has not had the capacity to directly and immediately finish the functions of the officials. It always has to go through the Board of Directors. There is a process that is voted and the process of the Board of Directors is changed and then an analysis is required and then there is a panel of civilians. We have discovered that this does not work. It does not work. We have talked about it the last time, how there are many ways to make it work. We have implemented some of those, professionalizing the cases so that there are lawyers on both sides. And also, now, in front of us, we have the capacity to change the composition of the Board of Directors that still exists that these are not all civilians, but that there are two civilians and that there is a commander. And the problem that arose in the reports is that sometimes it is very confusing for civilians to really understand what is happening, what is the terminology, what is the expectation. So having an officer there is going to help. But also this amendment proposes the ability of the boss to directly or immediately throw an officer out for bad behavior that is serious. And the language that we spoke on Friday is, what does it mean? conducta mala, seria, esto está contenido en lo que se refiere como SB2, o el Código de Regulaciones 1205, que detalla el número de, un número de previsiones de series malas conductas, por las cuales un oficial puede ser certificado, pero nos referimos a estas previsiones en la enmienda de los estatutos, para que el oficial puede ser inmediatamente o directamente despedido. Esto tiene que ver con falta de honestidad en cuanto a las investigaciones o abuso de poder, inclusive intimidar a los testigos y tener confesiones que son forzadas, asalto sexual, abuso físico, demostrar parcialidad, lo que tiene que ver con género, con raza, con... y actos que quebranten la ley o sean reportados de que son inconsistentes con las obligaciones de un oficial que guarda la paz. Siete, participar en pandillas, no cooperar en la investigación de la mala conducta. Nueve, no intercedir cuando se observa que alguien está haciendo una conducta mala, que no intervengan. Es una lista larguísima. En toda la historia de la ciudad hay cosas que el jefe, si esto pasa, puede decir, vamos a terminar esto directamente. Esto para mí trae el asunto de que está reflejado en estas enmiendas de que va a haber todavía un proceso Thank you. No estoy tratando de reemplazar, estoy tratando de que este continuo de autoridad para el jefe, terminación inmedia, directa, por falta de conducta seria, todo hasta la oportunidad, cuando tiene sentido, bajo la descripción del jefe, que diga vamos a mandarlo a la Junta de los Derechos. Esto puede ser, por ejemplo... Accidente automobilístico. Esto ha sido algo, ha habido un patrón, por ejemplo, de accidentes que es una responsabilidad para la ciudad y el jefe, en ese caso, puede decir, te mandamos a la junta hoy para que se I want there to be that continuity. That is the package we have in front of us. I know there will be questions. I will have questions about that language, especially about that list of very serious conducts, bad conducts, and what are the predictions that I had last night. But I am describing the context about what I expect. I want to recognize now Councilor Sotomayor Martinez. Muchas gracias, Presidente Concejal. Me gustaría también ofrecer un contexto con uno de los coautores de esta moción original. Lo que nosotros votamos el 4 de junio no es lo que tenemos frente a nosotros. El 4 de junio, déjeme dar un paso atrás. Hay muchas cosas que se han debatido acerca de la responsabilidad de los policías Señor Macasquericho, tuvimos conversaciones fantásticas, pero al final estamos en desacuerdo y no puedo estar de acuerdo con él. Creo que sí que tenemos un acuerdo súper claro, que votamos en este cuerpo desde los siguientes. Dice, dale al jefe de la policía el poder de determinar a un oficial de la paz por causas inclusivas. Perdón. before a process of appeal. This is what is clear. And this is what this body, the majority, voted. And what was asked of the municipal attorney to make a... The amendments that are now being brought to the committee are not this. It is not something that was discussed. I don't remember that Mr. McCoskey never said There are two different ways of saying goodbye. It's very clear. So I think what's here is not what we voted on June 4th. Now, there are many problems that I see here and that I want to bring as far as Chief Ramacun to talk about this, and also the prosecutor, because I think the goal is being set, not only are we moving it, but we are making it too complicated and it will create even more problems. I'm starting now, please come. I think it's the chief of police, plus someone representing the prosecution. Buenos días. Director Ejecutivo de la Comisión, Chip Mc... of the Procuraduría de la Ciudad. Chief, can you please describe in your opinion what has happened here? What are some of the problems that this has? Yes, of course. Good morning, members of the Council. First of all, I want to declare that the Department of Los Angeles is in general opposed to this arbitration. But looking at these two measures in front of you, we would prefer the corrected version of June 20, which allows the boss to end up for the cause and provides the officer with an option to appeal the decision with an arbitration. This allows an action in the event of misconduct, repeating the life processes of the officers This will also bring the authority of the chief in line with the authority of other general managers of the city of Los Angeles and with the majority of the police agencies, the majority, but if we do not have to be opposed, En cuanto a la enmienda propuesta para el señor McCaskill, pues esto va a restringir solamente cosas sujetas a la falta de certificación bajo existentes o futuras regulaciones postcomisiones. To decertify an officer, the limitations are problematic for several reasons. Number one, it limits the range of termination for serious misconduct. The boss should be able to terminate an officer for misconduct after a great investigation that completes with all the protections. y restringirlos solamente para aquellos que son desertificados. Esto pone un límite al jefe para poder encarar estos problemas de las malas conductas. Por ejemplo, es un despido directo. Por ejemplo, no se puede aplicar a alguien que viene completamente borracho a la casa, rompe una puerta y rompe todo con una disputa con su esposa y se va tomando independientemente, va a jor... . In the second example, for example, this amendment would also prevent the direct termination of an employee whose will is unsubordinated, such as not wanting to comply with the conditions of an employee imposed on all city employees by the city council. It would also prevent the chief from directly terminating an employee who has lost the ability to be a peace officer, such as, for example, someone who has provided the position of It is important to remember that the post regulations are designed to disqualify officers and prevent officers from looking for employees in other California agencies, which is a very severe penalty and not if an officer is fit to be a police officer in the city of Los Angeles. The post regulations did not have the intention of the terminations, terminated in the totality of the sustained allegations. Many involve many allegations of misconduct, multiple, exclusive, not covered by post-regulation, used for decertification. The boss is required to consider the totality of the circumstances in all the allegations sustained of misconduct when a penalty is applied as a dismissal. This cannot be based only on one allegation, but on all the facts, the history, and all the allegations of the cause. The amendment will create two different systems for times of misconduct that will lead us to confusion and inconsistent results. For example, the post-regulations allow the decertification and repeated... El mismo acto de mala conducta puede tener diferentes disciplinas disciplinarias. Número cuatro, repetir los cargos y requerir que se pasen por muchos procesos y va a requerir procedimientos y se puede tratar injustamente a los oficiales. Adicionalmente, no es predecible ni rápido. El Departamento de Escuchos de los Oficiales que creen que a veces son mal tratado cuando perciben que un proceso es muy inconsistente y muy arbitrario. Crean dos caminos por el mismo tipo de mala conducta. Esto va a aumentar la falta de confianza y las percepciones de un sistema disciplinario que es injusto. Por último, definir una Mala conducta seria es impractico cuando hablamos de disputas en litigaciones, ya sea que la alegación de que el jefe de policía despida a un oficial que comete una mala conducta seria. Estamos aquí en el concilio para apoyar el lenguaje original que tiene un equilibrio entre la responsabilidad y un proceso de vida. Y esto asegura que el jefe puede actuar decisivamente rápido cuando es necesario en el mejor interés de la comunidad y la integración. Thank you for considering our position and I want to go now to day four. That was what we all voted for, to have that capacity to be responsible for the police. Not two different types of systems where all the things that the boss just described, a boss will not be able to do. So that's why the goal was changed about what the original vote was. But I think there are certain concerns about this process because lately, after a very long process, the boss is being given a report about what decision And I think that this process is incredibly profound. If there is any concern that they are going to be asked for a period of dismissal that is not going to be justified, that is not correct. Please, if you can find out what... to describe what would be the process where, finally, the boss will receive the recommendation that this body will benefit from this very deeply. When we have a complaint that is initiated by a member of the public, that complaint will go through many levels of review and will begin with an evaluation perspective. When the complaint is initiated, A la primera división se la mire si esa es una determinación, si esa queja debería ser manejada para los asuntos internos o mandarlos a un área responsable de donde se inició. Ese proceso es un proceso de tres a cinco meses. Esa queja va a ser, se van a juntar pruebas, evidencias, entrevistas, se van a llamar testigos. They ask a lot of questions to the person who is involved. So supervising all this process is a protection for responsibility, for transparency, which I don't think many of the members of the committee completely understand. On the other hand, this review goes to the area where it occurred and then through the insurance officer provides supervision, guide and then once again to the matter of internal affairs for complete responsibility and transparency to ensure that the whole life process is complete. If there is a sustained allegation of misconduct, that will be presented to the chief of police for the appropriate penalty. Once that is completed, it is given to the employee, but it takes about three or four levels of review to ensure that there is no differential treaty, that the employees are considered responsible, and that all avenues are explored to ensure that the member of the community who is making the complaint receives the appropriate police. That is, it is a super long process. And at that point, you have done We have gone through the recommendations and many of those violations will not be captured as SB2 because of the amendments that have been made. There are many categories of negligence, negligent duties. where we believe that the chief of police believes that an employee should be fired immediately, but without that. back to the second level of the Board of Directors. That's why the original instructions say that it can be included because it would capture many of the situations that you are describing, correct? Yes. I have more questions, but I know that I am passing the time and giving the opportunity to other people. If no one else wants to speak, I can return. Thank you very much. Before returning to Mr. McCosker, I would like to To clarify, one of the points that the boss made when you described a circumstance, a series of events under which, with this amendment, the boss could not directly dismiss the officer who is, for example, drunk, is drunk, driving today. The boss could directly dismiss an officer in that situation? El jefe podría recomendar el despido a la Junta de Derechos, así que podría dirigir ese individuo a la Junta para mirar esa causa y determinar si esa terminación es apropiada. Igualmente sería, con las enmiendas sería igual, ¿no? Yes, but the boss will not be able to finish directly. I want to make sure that when we make examples that everyone understands that nothing that is in front of us is going to diminish any power that the boss has at this moment. The only thing that is in front of us is to what extent we are going to expand the power that the boss has. the ability to return to the Board of Directors, that would be the same, it would be maintained. Thank you very much, Chief. I want to go back to this example. I did not hear all the force in this hypothesis. He was a drunk driver, and what was his example? Is it vandalism to refuse to go out in a barricade with him? Does this break the law? Yes, it would break it. Do you think that a drunk person is a minor cause and vandalism would be... I said individuals, in themselves, would not meet the criteria. This is aggrievous. Okay, el número 6, la sección 1206. El número 6 dice, actos que quebrantan la ley y son suficientemente agravantes o repetidos. Y termina la sentación. Usted, pues, bajo... with the point of the president, you can't directly, but in his hypothesis, if this amendment passes under SB2, that person could be directly, his pathology is the opposite of what you are trying to prove, it is exactly the opposite. I would say that there is a part there that is determined by the police commission. No, it's not there. You can say what happened on Thursday night, but it's not there. The boss has the ability to make that determination.

2:50:14 – 3:17:49Speaker 2

It was hypothetical to approve my point, not mine, not yours. What I'm saying is, that just doesn't meet the requirements. Read the article, everything you said, those are the offensive things with the new language. Tengo una pregunta sobre lo que tú estás preguntando en estas hipotéticas para poder hacer estas ofensivas, para estas modificaciones que el policía necesita hacer para poder despedir a ese polo. Con su conversación, lo que yo estaba entendiendo es que tienen que ir a través de un proceso de una criterio de SB2, que esos son los pasos que tienen que llevar a cabo. Quiero clarificar cuál es el procedimiento. ¿Qué tipo de recursos adicionales va a ser aparte de este proceso para poder despedir a una persona que estaba haciendo un delito serio? Y entonces en estas oficinas, porque esta es una cosa legal, yo siento, entonces este es el problema de estas cosas. Si este ausento que haya sido un quebrantado de SB-42 en el Código de la California, ¿qué tiene que cumplirse y por quién? antes de que se pueda hacer un despido y habla sobre algo que tiene que llevarse a cabo como una comisión para determinación para la arbitración. Y si se hace esa recomendación y dicen, no, esto no reúne los requisitos para SB2, es un alegato de una conducta seria. Entonces, ¿qué sucede después de eso? So this is a very important question in a legal way, with the ambiguity that this modification could cause. To clarify your answer, what I hear is that if we approve this modification, it will result in the ambiguity of who is going to make this recommendation of this crime, poder cumplir estas criterios de SB2 para que sean consideradas como unos delitos. Nosotros pensamos que esto puede llevar a serlo. Y dentro de esto, ¿quién es lo que ustedes pueden hacer esta determinación de SB2? De una... a bigger offense. That would be the head of the police. Can you make this determination? This is why it's a bit confusing, because SB2, this code, has these liquefies of these conducts, that a department can find it guilty or not. And in this SB2 criterion, they can decide if this official should no longer be the State Commission, Las agencias de la licencia, ellos van a hacer la determinación si tienen que quitarle su certificado. Ese criterio es su criterio. El departamento tiene su propia política de acuerdo con la... Falta de conducta, si es el quebrante de una ley, una política, o negar su responsabilidad. Estos son los criterios que se están usando y se siguen usando. Si son de acuerdo con SB2 o no, esa es una pregunta distinta. Entonces, esto es un poco... confusa de quién es responsable de esta modificación y qué tipo de estándares se tienen que cumplir y qué es lo que se necesita para nuestra moción. Ojalá que podamos hablar de eso para clarificar esto. Yo no sé la ambigüedad. El jefe hace la determinación y si la administración no está de acuerdo, ese es él. No está tan complicado. Son dos cosas diferentes. El de certificación no tiene ningún papel aquí para la definición. Ese es simplemente como una conveniencia para saber qué es la... the behavior that has not been taken into account, and maybe the arbitrator will agree or not. My question was about the same thing. Who is going to make this determination? Because I understand the ambiguity. And I also understood that it was the boss, and that's what we're hearing. Presidente del Consejo. Y alguien me está mostrando un lenguaje. El jefe puede determinarlo directamente sobre una conducta. Si no tienen que ver con esto del título 11, para hacer esta determinación, para poder, sí, eso es lo que estaba preguntando. This, of course, is not clear. It is exactly what the president explained. Language gives that determination to the boss to determine or dismiss. And then the arbitrator will determine if it was correct or not at that moment. It could be determined de que a lo mejor estaba mal el haber hecho y que no había llegado a la seriedad para poder despedirlo, pero la decisión lo va a indicar y lo va a determinar el oficial como lo recomienda. ¿Hay algo que usted cree que debamos agregar para ver si esta determinación no es lo que se está discutiendo con la arbitración, pero si es un castigo justo o si no? para reunir los requisitos con . No, no creo que se necesita agregar nada para hacerlo más claro. La pregunta es el resulto, es la determinación por parte de la arbitración. A lo mejor no vamos a poder hacer ese proceso, pero el lenguaje en sí no debe de ser modificado para la clarificación, como el presidente lo dijo, ahí lo dice. Thank you. Councilor Park and Councilor Sotomayor asks if maybe Councilor MacArthur, I am understanding about the description. of the chief of police. What is the inconsistency of the results? If we have an arbitrator who orders that work be done, how are we going to reconcile these circumstances? To answer the question, yes. Sí, un arbitrador dice, dale otra vez su trabajo y ya no tiene certificado. Esa es la ley, ya no tienen un trabajo. Ahora vamos a cerrar con el señor Soto Martínez. Puede contestar la concejala, podría ser una respuesta distinta. Esa es parte de la ambigüedad de este lenguaje de SB2. De acuerdo, sí. La comisión puede quitarle su certificado. Y después de que lo vuelven a apodar en su trabajo, estoy de acuerdo, backwards, creo que debería de ser despedido. Pero la pregunta es, ¿lo van a despedir otra vez y luego ir a arbitración? Y otra vez vamos a necesitar ir a la arbitración, pero no sabemos. Esto no es claro. Esto no es automático. de no podrían reunir los requisitos para ser un policía, pero a lo mejor tienen que hacer sobre un proceso de despido una vez más. ¿Puedes hablar un poco más sobre el proceso de las litigaciones y si esta modificación no hubiera estado presentado of this type of litigation if we go to arbitration. Once again, we are speculating to a certain degree because we don't know how it's going to be. But the problem is that it meets the requirements of SB and the level of conduct. I understand that the head of the police is going to make the determination and make the dismissal. But that is another problem of the arbitration and that it was not bad. But let's see, they are going to do a litigation. Porque una vez más, es una comisión estatal y una determinación de ellos. Si debe ser, si se le tiene que quitar su certificado, no sé cuáles serán los argumentos, si no van a ser los pasos para que el jefe vaya a darle esa disciplina a esa persona por un comportamiento que se hizo. If this is a SB2 criterion or not, that is the determination of the Commission to be determined. But if this really was a violation of SB2, then the arbitration will determine if it did or not. However, this official has to be fired. And then now it will be... un acceso de esta autoridad y esta prohibición de si se inscribió o no, no está claro. Y también el problema de esta arbitración y determinación, pero sí podría verse para S.B.L. 2, to see this type of police, for this recommendation, for this determination, and if yes, to see this type of limitation of this tutorial, because it is taking so long to do this process. I don't know if we are speculating, but these are legal problems that could be created with this ambiguity. And once again, I want to emphasize the reason why we have this, this is because of the modifications that were made on Friday. Si le pedimos al abogado municipal que haga un lenguaje para que prohíba que el arbitrador que considere o no si está dentro de SB2 y nada más ver la causa, ¿podría clarificarlo? No estoy segura, no creo. la forma en la que lo acaba de presentar el miembro del consejo, pero podríamos pensarlo de una mejor forma, de cuidadosamente para trabajar con eso, pero para cambiar el lenguaje, para poder hablar sobre el asunto que usted está hablando, no creo que se pueda hacer tan directo. ¿Crees que si tenemos suficiente tiempo podrías hacer un lenguaje para eliminar esta ambigüedad? Si alguien fue despedido por parte del CB2, sí, eso sería mejor para el tiempo, pero quisiera para que el abogado... . . me parece que la concejala hernandez y ramon yo estoy tratando de actuar lo más honorable que yo pueda But I don't agree with this. And if it hadn't been for the modifications, I would have let it happen. But as this is being added and now there is more ambiguity, I can't, as a legislator, let this happen. Entonces, si no se puede hacer, entonces la mayoría va a votar y entonces a lo mejor voy a irse a la minería. La mayoría de personas está hablando para poder hablar sobre estos problemas. Desafortunadamente estamos en una posición de que no me gusta donde estamos. Por eso quiero agregar este otro nuevo lenguaje. Consejera Macaronska para cerrar. Le agradezco los comentarios de mi amigo Soto Martinez y sí sé de dónde vienen. Pero sinceramente quiero ver, ponerlo en contexto. We have always talked about the serious or serious behavior so that there is a dismissal and if we are going to define this behavior or not. By not doing it, there is little clarity and defining it as SB2 gives you to add it. If we are going to do what I am asking for, or what you are asking for, the Board of Directors always exists. There is no type of situation of ordinances that they can propose by the municipal attorney with the report that pretends to be from a minority that will take away the right to the board of directors. If they say, are we going to go to this immediate determination or not? The board of directors will always exist. And if there is ambiguity, where does it come from? This will also exist in any other situation, unless we remove the board of directors. And I want to read again what the municipal lawyer said. The police can say goodbye. El jefe policía y en su discreción va a tomar la decisión si se quebrantó la ley, como por ejemplo manejar el borracho y quebranta la ley y que si son suficientemente poderosas que ellos me dio para poder probar mi punto y para estar en control del jefe. Y que están diciendo sí para determinar y si quieren ir a la reentración, no quieren decir sí y no van a decidir si es de SB2 o no, sino que se va a determinar si se despidió esa persona basado en esos hechos. What this language says gives us more clarity, no less, because now we have a list of the types of things that the chief of police can say and are very expensive to be able to dismiss immediately. And it is very clear that if the chief chooses it, they can send it to the board of directors for the decision of determination. adding the power of the chief, not taking away the authority, and in some cases, for the dismissal, they are not talking to the commission. están hablando con el record que se ha presentado y para decidir si el jefe de policía ha hecho su trabajo correctamente. Esto es América. No voy a bajarme de eso. Eso es lo que así hacemos. Muy bien. Muchas gracias. El orden para el voto, primero vamos a votar el señor voto, la moción verbal del señor Soto Martínez para volver a revisar en el lenguaje. Si quiero hablar algo rápidamente para recordarnos, o para recordar que para poder tener algo para la votar en el 2024, tenemos que tener una segunda lectura para el 3 de julio. Entonces, si llegara esto mañana, esto de todas maneras no vamos a tenerlo para el tiempo límite, que esto no vamos a tener ningún tipo de autoridad para el jefe de policía. Entonces, tienen que tener esto en mente para cuando están ustedes pidiendo más tiempo. Vamos a abrir los votos. Se cierran los votos y se tabulan. Cuatro a favor, nueve no a favor. Señora Consejera Hernandez. Voten no, pero sí quiero cinco. No va a cambiar el... Entonces, para que contéis las actas, señor Cracker, ahora es cinco, cinco, ocho. Y esto también no se ha aprobado. Es el 15A, que esa es la modificación de . Sí, un segundo. ¿Conseja Lajot? Quiero ponerlo como un no en una moción, sí, en el verbal. Y esto también no cambia el voto. Y entonces, concejala va a ser cuatro sí y nueve no. Esta moción verbal no se ha aprobado. ¿Quería decir algo más? La siguiente voto, Sr. McCasker del 15A, la moción. Esta moción está ante nosotros. ¿Podemos, por favor, borrar todo lo que tenemos en personas que quieran hablar? Déjenme borro todo. Consejala Rahman, esto solamente es para votar las cosas técnicas. Las mociones de McCusker que se circuló como 15A. Entonces, si nadie quiere decir nada, concejal McCusker. El abogado municipal está diciendo algo importante que les agradezco y discúlpenme por esto. Está diciendo que en 15A, el tercer punto, de la subdivisión 5 de quitar al miembro, que ya se dijo eso en la décima, como lo había dicho antes, entonces quiere que se quite esa parte. Entonces, eso es una repetición de lenguaje. Si no hay objeción. Lo vamos a hacer la moción 15A para quitar el lenguaje de la subdivisión 5 para quitar el miembro. Si no hay ninguna objeción, lo consideramos esto modificado. 15A está ante nosotros con su modificación. Se abren los votos. Se cierran y se tabulan. Thank you, Mr. President. We know what the result of this vote will be, but I do want to say that I thank you for all the work we did in this, Mr. McCaskill. I showed you my opinions in private about this. I just want the public to understand that when we are dealing with the problems of the police, which are very serious, many times there will be a lot of disagreement. I will continue to vote no to this. I don't think this takes us to where we wanted. We wanted to finish saying goodbye to the police when they create a bad behavior. That will be two systems. Some people will be fired and some will not. And that's what we were trying to change. Lo otro que queríamos cambiar es la junta directiva de derechos que ha sido un desastre. Es un sistema que no se ha aprobado y no se ha dado esta investigación. Le estamos dando al público que en mi opinión es incorrecto en ambas situaciones. What I try to do is to work on these problems to do the best for the people of Los Angeles, so that the police become responsible and there is justice. I don't think this will help us with that, but the people who are going to vote or the voters are going to tell us, I'm going to vote no. but I just want to tell you my disappointment in something so personal for me. Counselor Blumenfeld, I had another question. If in the future we decide that there is a conduct that we want to include as a serious crime, can this be done with an order and that this behavior is part of CB2 and we can add it? No, that could not be possible because it is a reference to a regularization of code without changing what is in SB2. But the interpretation that you can make of SB2, of these so general terms that exist, If there are some things, excuse me, that are included in the IE, we could impose an interpretation that is more to our liking, not as this is adopted. The way to do it, we will have to add a prayer and as it is defined by an ordinance, thank you. Ahora 15 con su modificación está ante nosotros. Vamos a abrir los votos. Se cierran esa tabula. Once a favor, dos no a favor. Esto nos va a llevar al 40, que la concejala Rodríguez llamó especial. Gracias. Tenemos 40. No quiere decir nada a nadie. Entonces vamos a votar. Se abren los votos, se cierran y se tabulan. 12 a favor. Señor Presidente, se está pidiendo que llevemos el 15, 39, 40 que se ha mandado a la alcaldesa para su aprobación. Sin objeción, esa es la orden. Ahora tenemos mociones para ser publicadas y referidas. También, señor McCaskill, también puedo tener el 19 y 20 para las ordenanzas para que sean referidas a la alcaldesa para su aprobación. Sí, sin objeción, esa es la orden. Y vamos a publicarlo y a referirlo. ¿Qué tenemos? Ya no tenemos nada en la pendiente. Miembros, ¿algún anuncio? En la derecha, en la izquierda. No veo ningún anuncio. Aviso. Vamos a ir a las mociones para levantar la sesión. ¿Alguna moción para levantar la sesión? No. No veo nadie para. Se ha levantado la sesión.
