Nestled within the vibrant San Fernando Valley, this six and a half acre oasis offers a serene escape, defined by the harmonious balance of natural elements. The Japanese garden uses reclaimed water to replenish its tranquil features, standing as a testament to the city's commitment to sustainability and resourcefulness. step into the unique landscape, which invites visitors to disconnect from the dynamic pace of urban life and rediscover a sense of peace. So whether you're visiting from across town or from across the world, welcome to LA. The visionary concept of establishing a Japanese garden adjacent to the reclamation facility was pioneered by Donald C. Tillman. Every element of the grounds has been meticulously crafted to harmonize with the modern architecture and the natural environment of the San Fernando Valley. Visitors can enjoy an expansive wet strolling landscape where flowing waterfalls symbolizing heaven, humanity, and the earth merge with vibrant greenery and crafted stone lanterns imported from Japanese artisans. The stillness of the water offers a refuge for the spirit, mirroring the vital knowledge shared with Angelenos during a recent emergency preparedness day.

2:11 – 2:46Speaker 7

We are at the Autry Museum for the second annual Wildfire Day LA, which is an event that we put on to try to prepare Los Angeles for the next inevitable wildfire emergencies that unfortunately are destined to happen. Whether it's the wildfires here that taught us an awful lot of lessons in January 2025, or any other kind of life safety emergency, our mission now as an 18-year nonprofit organization working with the LA City Fire Department and other city partners and departments is to bridge that gap.

2:49 – 3:08Speaker 13

It's critical for everyone in the city, whether you have a business, whether you own a home, rent, that you know what to do in case of emergency. Be it a wildfire, be it an earthquake or heavy rain, Emergency preparedness is critical and I'm glad the city put on this event.

3:13 – 3:48Speaker 17

Los Angeles is actually very unique in that it has so many possible natural disasters. It has earthquakes. It has literally tsunamis. It has flooding. In fact, the major cause of weather death is heat. And as we know, with environmental concerns, we also wind up having more heat. So there is something here for everybody. So while some people might think, well, I don't live in a home in the hills, the high fire severity zone is actually moving further south into our urban areas. And Everybody is potentially affected by an emergency. We are all one emergency away from a potential personal disaster.

3:52 – 4:35Speaker 7

Wildfire Day LA is one of the many ways that we try to reach out to people, whether it's holding public events like these, and we've done 10 or more all over the city and county. Second time that we're here at the Autry, which is a great venue. We're surrounded by wild land, right? So it's a great frame for what we're trying to teach. But in any case, we try to use every conduit, every medium, every form we can to get the word out, right? We go into neighborhoods and we do home hardening assessments for free. For people that are in the brush, the canyons, the hillsides, we go into schools and teach kids how to be more fire safe. We go to build neighborhood council fire wives or fire safe council groups to organize their own neighborhoods to be more prepared.

4:37 – 5:39Speaker 11

we're here working with all the folks that are concerned about how we can be more efficient with preventing wildfire right how can we be more mindful of keeping our towns resilient and so tree people our goal is to help make our wild spaces resilient and that means that after a fire rolls through we want to bring in native plants that are going to do well and recover quickly and also withstand the shortened fire regime as well as we want to make communities aware of the benefits of native plants, right? A healthy ecosystem in the mountains is going to bring a lot more resilience to our communities just down the way. Trees and native species are going to be better suited for when we have drought. They're going to be better suited for when there is wildfire. They'll recover quickly and they're going to keep our air cycling clean. We're going to have a lot of different benefits from a healthy ecosystem. So the more we can preserve the wild space, the more our cities and our wildlife is going to be happy that we've done so. We can do our part in stewarding the land.

5:42 – 5:59Speaker 19

Wildfire safety includes a lot of things, but one of the most important things it includes is preparation, awareness, and education. We want every community in CD4 and throughout Los Angeles to understand what they can do to be ready in case of emergency, as well as how they can participate in preventing an emergency.

6:01 – 6:37Speaker 17

I would tell people to make sure that they understand where their exits are other than their front door. I would recommend that people do pack some sort of go kit, which includes their medications, identifying information of their pets, if they have them, in case they're separated. If you live in an apartment building, please make yourself aware of where the fire extinguishers are in your building. Please make sure you keep your fire alarms functioning, which also monitor for gas. And reach out to your landlord to ask them to engage in safety measures for the entire building, which also might lower their insurance costs if they engage safely on how to protect themselves.

6:38 – 6:59Speaker 7

All these things are what we're here to teach today in a way that hopefully people can deal with in an affordable and viable way so that they don't feel overwhelmed like there's so much to do, I just won't do anything. We want them to do something, do one thing, do three things over time, and over time they're gonna get in a better position to withstand a wildfire, and we know they're coming up, fortunately.

7:10 – 10:00Speaker 23

Hinson Elm Aquatic Center is very different. It's the largest municipal pool in the United States. It's 1.5 acres. Just one way, it's 153 yards. Capacity is over 3,000. Zero depth entry, so that means it's safe for old family, the little kids. It's 1.5 million gallons of water with two beautiful water slides and the obstacle course in the middle of the pool. So in the city of LA, we have over 50 swimming pools. So there's a pool near your house. From San Pedro to Sylmar, East LA, West LA, we have a pool. Not only we have a pool with well-trained lifeguards, but we have amazing programs. We do over 25,000 lessons, swim lessons, in the city of LA every year. We have over 800 kids in our Junior Life Club program, and over 6,000 kids that are part of our swim team, water polo, artistic swimming, spring boat diving. So we have an aquatics program for all Angelinos. So anytime you're on water, if you're at the lake, you're at the beach, you're at the pool, anywhere, always swim near a lifeguard. It's critical that your kids are supervised at all times. Anytime they're close to the water, you know, kids can drown in like few inches of water. So never, never leave your kids unattended. During the summer time, you know, there's a lot of friends, family, they have pool parties. There's a lot of drownings that happen in backyard pools. So as a parent, there's a lot of things that you can do at home to make sure your pools are safe. First, you gotta have a fence. Make sure you have a fence with a gate that you can lock. You gotta have an alarm. It's good to have equipment in case somebody goes in the water and whoever's watching them doesn't know how to swim. Make sure you have a ring buoy. A ring buoy can make a big difference on saving somebody's life. Where anybody can see it, grab it, and throw it to whoever's in the water struggling, whoever needs help. Knowing how to use it, how to throw it, can make a big difference. Also, a body hook. You put it on the wall next to the ring buoy, So you can reach and hook the body and bring him in. Or have somebody hold on to it that's struggling in the water and bring him in. By having those two pieces of equipment can make a big, big difference. So each facility, you know, we have a safety plan. By having well-trained lifeguards at all of our 50 plus facilities in the city of LA, our job is to educate the public in water safety. So when you come in, you have a good, safe experience. So this summer, make it a point to visit our pools and take a swim lesson. Give us a shot. Try us out.

10:23 – 10:46Speaker 15

We are in the community of Panorama City, the 91402, celebrating the re-grand opening of the Splash Pad at Panorama City Park, a park whose Splash Pad was closed for over seven summers. We're excited to see all of the kids here who live in a very high-dense community, sometimes don't have a front yard, sometimes don't have a backyard. So the park is really their only place to play.

10:47 – 11:01Speaker 16

It's been amazing. I mean, look at the smiles. They're priceless. The sounds. It brings me back to my childhood. My sister was even teary-eyed because growing up in a community where, you know, you need a little bit more resources, this is priceless.

11:02 – 11:20Speaker 15

I am overly ecstatic that we have close to 200 families here today, and we are excited to talk to the families about how we were finally able to find the resources to get it back in functioning. And I'm still overwhelmed by the amount of families that came that were waiting for this, because seven years is a long time.

11:21 – 12:21Speaker 16

So I'm a community member here and this actually started in my family when I brought my son to the park and he noticed a desolate water park and he asked me, Mom, when is this going to be open and why is it closed? And I told him, you know what, I honestly don't know, but these are great questions. We have a neighborhood watch meeting in the next few days. Why don't you ask those questions there? My son and my daughter, they collaborated. So at the meeting, she asked the questions. Unfortunately, she was told that it was going to be closed. But then a few days later, I get an email or a text saying that actually the council member had looked into it and she's going to make it happen to reopen. And here we are. And we're really grateful for this because lots of families can enjoy, especially during these hot weather. I mean, especially when things are so expensive. This is a free access to keeping cool in our community, which we definitely need it. And this shows us the collaboration that when we work together, that you're never too young to be active, to get involved, that you can make positive change at any age, and especially when we all work together.

12:22 – 12:33Speaker 15

It almost feels like we let an entire generation down taking this long, but we're not going to let this happen again, and that's why we're going to continue to fight and advocate for more funding to come to our Rec and Parks Department.

12:33Speaker 16

We want to continue to collaborate with the city to make sure it's safe, that our communities are clean, that they're great places for us to live, and as you can see, a good place to play as well.

12:51 – 13:30Speaker 10

Inspired by the historic strolling estates of the 18th and 19th centuries, the wet garden design employs vast lawns to foster an open and radiant setting for discovery. The grounds are open for public exploration from 9.30 a.m. until 3.30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and on the second Sunday of each month. During these Sunday sessions, the facility showcases traditional cultural artistry, performances, and family activities alongside the Bureau of Sanitation's sustainability programs. this scenic promenade offers an opportunity to observe the evolving seasons, highlighted by the radiant lotus blooms that also define the spirit of the annual Lotus Festival at Echo Park Lake.

13:37 – 13:51Speaker 27

This year here at the beautiful Echo Park Lake, we are celebrating the 45th Lotus Festival and our host country this year is Sri Lanka. So we're celebrating the culture, the people and the food of Sri Lanka.

13:57 – 14:13Speaker 20

This festival is about celebrating culture and bringing people together. So this year, when we celebrate the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, you're going to see people from all across the city of Los Angeles, all walks of life. But we're celebrating one part of the community, but also celebrating the diversity and the strength of the city of Los Angeles.

14:17 – 14:35Speaker 24

An absolutely incredible community event that brings together the various cultures and the rich heritage of us Angelenos. And today I'm so honored that it's spotlighting my country of birth and my motherland, the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.

14:35 – 14:50Speaker 2

We want to keep our culture alive and spread it to everyone else in our community as well. and let everyone else know how vibrant and how welcoming our culture is. Our food is very tasty, too.

14:53 – 15:08Speaker 27

Sri Lanka means so much to the city of Los Angeles. We have doctors, teachers, lawyers. They bring so much love and community to the city, and that's what we want to highlight today here at Echo Park, celebrating the Lotus Festival.

15:14 – 16:09Speaker 5

It's a great event full of diversity and culture. The host country this year is Sri Lanka, and we had the Consul General of Sri Lanka herself here to help celebrate the opening ceremony. We have two days of a lot of fun, food, dancing, entertainment. Having events like this is absolutely critical because we're so diverse, but it's not just diversity that makes us a great city. It's having events where people that are diverse can learn from one another and really become neighbors and partners and friends. And that's why this is so important that we celebrate this. We have so many events where people can learn about one another's countries, their heritage, culture, and that's what makes us better. It makes us a strong city.

16:13 – 16:34Speaker 24

And these types of events are so important for us as a community because it just brings together everyone from all corners of the world. We have Hispanics, we have Africans, we have South Asians like us, we have Koreans, Chinese, and we're all here together. We make up this beautiful city of Los Angeles. We are the fabric of this city.

16:49 – 17:03Speaker 12

What we're doing here is we are hosting the official World Cup LA Fan Zone. And we're going to be hosting today's match. We're going to do the third place match on Saturday and also the finals on Sunday.

17:04Speaker 9

It's about getting the vibe of the crowd and everything. Being with people and everyone scores a goal. It's nice. It's better than sitting at home and watching it.

17:15 – 17:31Speaker 26

I came with one of my closest friends so that we can enjoy the last games of this amazing World Cup. We both love soccer. So I was lucky enough to go to the first game, USA against Paraguay. So now it's just all about having fun for whatever's left.

17:35Speaker 9

We're in San Pedro. I'm rooting for England here. Come on, England. We just said, go England. I want England to win.

17:42 – 17:53Speaker 8

Today's Fan Fest, Fan Zone, is a lively crowd, good entertainment, and a great game. And we'll see who wins.

17:54Speaker 4

I volunteer for AYSO. And it's very meaningful for me to be here with my family. This is like my brother.

18:06 – 18:39Speaker 12

We are stoked to welcome everybody here right now. We've got such a beautiful location and we want to show it off, right? We are giving everyone a first look, not just to the space here and our LA waterfront, but also a few of our tenants are participating as well. So people can get a little bit of a taste of, you know, San Pedro Fish Market, who's actually already open down on the other end of the site, but Fresca Bar, Lazio Pizza, we've got Piranha Empanadas and Glass Box and Baked Bear. that are also here so people can get a little taste before we actually open this fall.

18:41 – 19:16Speaker 8

There's going to be a brand new visitor serving attraction down here at the Port of LA called West Harbor. So it's really important for those that knew it previously as Ports of Call to know that it has been completely redeveloped with a partnership between the port and the West Harbor developer that's going to offer all kinds of food and beverage options, shopping options, activity options. There's going to be a really big Ferris wheel here coming next year. There's going to be stuff for kids to do, kids playground area. There's going to be harbor cruises, so you can come down here and play all day, walk the mile-long promenade, and just figure out whatever you want to do with your family.

19:17Speaker 4

And we're just enjoying the beautiful West Harbor. I live here locally, and we haven't really seen this open to the public in this manner.

19:26 – 19:45Speaker 26

I had no idea what it would be like, but it's close. I live nearby, so I'm actually coming on Saturday with my entire family. But they opened it early, so I was like, hey, why not? Let's go. So it looks really nice. It's near the water. I love the soccer balls floating in the ocean. So it looks really nice and a safe family environment.

19:48Speaker 21

And bottom line is, if everybody could get along like this right here, where would be a better place?

20:04 – 20:43Speaker 18

So this week is Shark Week, and today specifically is July 14th, and July 14th is the AZA, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Shark and Ray Awareness Day. We bring specimens out from our museum collection that we normally don't have on display. Some different species of shark jaws, we have some great white shark vertebrae, we have shark skin that the public can touch, and we also have activities, giveaways, crafts, and things that the public can take that are all around appreciating sharks, and other kinds of different shark specimens that are not on permanent exhibit.

20:49 – 21:21Speaker 3

who isn't excited about sharks, especially little kids and then you grow up, who's not excited about sharks. They're almost like the dinosaurs of the day. When you grow up, that never leaves you, the love for sharks. It's free entry, that's why we come. You don't have to spend a lot of money like some of the other aquariums out there. Depending on where you park, you might have to pay for parking or not, but it's super cheap. It's a great experience. Yes, it's small, but you just come for a few hours. It's great.

21:28 – 22:07Speaker 18

We are very science-based. There's a lot of biological content that we display. So alongside the tanks, all the animals are always labeled with a scientific name and a common name. There's a lot of biological illustration showing the anatomy of an octopus or the anatomy of a shark and pointing out all the different parts and labeling it. But we're also so friendly. I love working here. The staff are amazing and everybody's willing to help out. We're very family friendly and we are children focused, but all ages are welcome and we will do anything to make sure everybody has a good time.

22:19 – 22:49Speaker 10

Since 1984, the Japanese Garden offers a sanctuary from the haste of urban traffic, inviting us to disconnect from daily pressures and rediscover the meditative calm of nature in the city.

24:20 – 29:25Speaker 1

Life is busy, especially in a city like Los Angeles, but it can also be uncertain. A large-scale disaster like an earthquake, wildfire, or even civil unrest can happen at any time. As part of the City's Ready Your LA Neighborhood program, this video covers the basic steps that you can take during and after an emergency to keep your loved ones safe. We will review earthquake, wildfire, and active shooter scenarios. Angelinos know the big one is coming, but don't know when. It's very important to learn about earthquake safety now. If you are indoors when an earthquake strikes, drop immediately to the floor, take cover as soon as you see or feel shaking, and hold on. If there is no table nearby, sit on the floor against a wall, away from windows and tall furniture. Protect your head and neck with your arms and stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outside, move to a clear area and stay away from anything that could fall on you, like buildings, power lines, or trees. If you are at the beach, immediately move to higher ground and follow tsunami evacuation signs. If you are driving, pull over to a clear location and stop. Avoid bridges, overpasses, and power lines. If you are in a wheelchair, lock your wheels, bend over and cover your head. For more information, visit the Earthquake Country Alliance's website. Now onto wildfire tips. If you do not receive warning in advance of a wildfire, only collect your grab and go kit if it's safe to do so. Follow evacuation orders and help others. If moving through a smoke-filled area, stay low to the ground. If you do receive a prepare to evacuate warning, gather your loved ones and pets, ready your go bags, charge your cell phones, and plan your evacuation route. Lastly, let's talk about an active shooter situation. An active shooter is someone who is trying to kill and injure people. If you find yourself in such a situation, it's important to keep in mind the run, hide, fight survival principles. Your first option is to drop everything and run. If possible, try to help others escape, but do not attempt to move the wounded. Once you're safe, call 911. If you cannot escape, find the nearest hiding place. Lock the door or block the entry to your hiding place with tables, chairs, or whatever you can find. Make sure to silence your cell phone. If you are out of all other options, then fight. Try to incapacitate the shooter in whatever way possible. And remember, commit to your actions. Your life depends on it. Once law enforcement arrives, remain calm, follow their instructions, and keep your hands free and visible at all times. Learn more about active shooter protocols at runhidefightla.org. It's not over just yet. The aftermath of an emergency is still a crucial time for you to remain alert and aware. Stay clear of hazards like downed power lines, damaged buildings, and avoid using gas until your gas line has been inspected. Cooperate fully with public safety officials and listen to local radio and TV stations for updated information. Avoid driving during this time and only use your vehicle if there is an evacuation order. Recovery time for different emergencies varies, but conditions commonly remain unstable two hours to two days after the emergency. If you have evacuated your home, don't re-enter until officials say it's safe. If you're sheltering in place, it's important to assess and secure the area, checking for gas and water leaks or broken wiring. If there is utility damage, turn them off at the source and check with your utility company before switching them on again. Do not shut off your gas valve unless you smell or hear gas leaking. A gas leak might smell like rotten eggs. To switch off your gas, you will most likely need to take a half turn on the main valve with a wrench. Report any gas leaks to your utility company. If a gas leak is suspected, do not operate any electrical switches. If water pipes are damaged, turn off the main water valve. Be sure not to flush the toilet until you know if the sewage lines are intact. If you have to shelter in place for a long time, assess your water sources. You can use water from ice cubes, your plumbing , or your switched-off water heater. Do not drink water from the reservoir tank of your toilet, pool, or spa. Use this water for sanitary purposes only. You can also purify water with bleach with the right ratio. After adding bleach, stir the container and let it stand for 30 minutes before drinking. you now have some basic knowledge to safely respond during and after an emergency.

Nosotros, el pueblo americano, tenemos un sueño americano para tener la seguridad pública y el cumplimiento del código, no como emergency, Mr. Herman, I don't intend to interrupt you, but number two, it has nothing to do with public safety. It has to do with an increase in the rate for life support. Well, it has to focus on the issue. They are challenging me for my mental health, that I had to be aware of the passage of their thinking, that their mother fucks up. Ahora el comentario general. Okay, usted, estúpido hijo de puta, te gusta molestar a la gente, te gusta pelear con Smokin' Skin y la audiencia de Smokin' Skin y conmigo. ¿No? Smokin' Skin. Ahora entiende él que yo, el originario de esta primera enmienda, es que vayan a chingar a su madre. And also in the federal courts, not in Obama's court, but they have to punish all their players. sus actores van a estar ahí con la Junta de Supervisores y con Mejía y todos estos actores que han robado miles de millones de dólares para las personas sin techo y queremos un informe en nombre de David O'Connor y los Estados Unidos de América que vayan a chingar a sus madres. Y también este buro de Dawson. Bueno, se ha acabado su tiempo. Para el público, por favor, lamento el lenguaje que se acabó de usar. El señor Herman tiene que hablar según la libertad de habla, pero sus comentarios no reflejan nuestros valores en el ayuntamiento, en el personal y en la ciudad en sí. Es algo que pasa muy a menudo y lo lamentamos. Buenos dias, señor Spindler. Tiene tres minutos para los puntos y un minuto de comentario general. Y no estuvo presente para saber cuáles son los puntos disponibles. Así que puede comentar en los puntos 1 y 2 y 11 a 40. Muy bien. OK, preste atención, cabeza de cubo. Entonces, el número 39. Tenemos Crawford y Marquise va a nombrar una calle de un líder religioso, Christian Ministries. Esto quebranta la primera enmienda. de primera enmienda. Hasta Padilla sabe que el 39 es un patrocinio de la religión, que es un quebrantamiento de la primera enmienda. No se puede poner esta brótula y decir que experience Christian. No se puede hacer enmienda y Heather Hutt y también acusado de delito mayor price. Entonces, si ustedes no permitan el 39 de vuelta al comité para la fiscalía Well, let's go to the public to see if Stacey Sagasa, attorney, is going to present a claim about this. Please, focus on the subject. It's your last comment. If you can't talk about the general comment. I'm commenting on 39, and it's not presented in any way. Now, 40, which is from District 9, which is under investigation. sobre los fondos de cumplimiento de investigación de vertido ilegal. Gracias, ma'am. Aquí tenemos cargos de delitos mayores que causa que la policía investigue el distrito en sí. ¡Qué ironía! ¡Un aplauso! ¿Qué tal esto? Es la primera vez en la historia política desde un delincuente como Donald Trump. Está pidiendo el cumplimiento y la investigación. Ni puede seguir la ley, pero está pidiendo que se aplique. ¿Ok? No se puede ver. Ahora el número uno. Tenemos el interés público en Kern County, que no es el ayuntamiento. No sé ni putos dónde está Kern County. Parece muy lejos para mí. ¿Por qué no le preguntamos a este genio aquí dónde está Kern County? He doesn't care about a cucumber that basically accepts any flavor in front of him. And now we have number two, which is to update the charges. They're going to raise the rate of the scents. They're all the blacks in their district. que ni tiene dinero para pagar el alquiler, les pega un infarto y se caen muertos. Pero Mitch McConnell no tiene que pagar, pero los afroamericanos sí. Ahora el comentario general. Mañana mismo a las nueve invité a Amanda. Y este calvo hijo de puto nacer en allí para que vayan al Tribunal Federal para conocer unos agentes de FBI. Esa es su oportunidad de delatar a los 14 otros delincuentes que usted sirve. Sé que usted quiere venir. Por favor, Adrian. Por favor, ¿por qué no sople a los demás? ¿Por qué no les delata? Por favor, míreme. Dígame qué les va a delatar. Cabezo de cubo va a ir al tribunal también. ¿Quiere ser soplón? Parece que no. Amanda, ¿por qué no usted? No, no quiere. Y finalmente, al final, el viernes a las ocho y media, Current Press tiene una audiencia para determinar si le van a someter a juicio para un delito mayor. Yo sí voy a asistir. Nos vemos ahí. Siguiente. Antes del siguiente comentarista voy a llamar más nombres. First Amendment Coalition, Word, El Oriaga de León, Con Skoll Lake, Where's Carter, y Little Wayne. Buenos días, ¿en qué quiere comentar? Buenos días, quiero comentar en el once. Bien, ¿solamente el once? Ok, es un minuto. Muy bien. Pido que el ayuntamiento apruebe la carta de terminación de producción y alquiler que se remitió al Consejo Municipal de parte de LHD el 25 de junio, pero se aplazó hasta hoy, el 5 de agosto. No sé por qué, pero LHD, o Departamento de Vivienda, pasó por el procedimiento establecido del ayuntamiento y aprobó entregaron el papeleo adecuado. Aquí tengo una copia si quieren, pero pido una reducción de alquiler y que se elimina hoy mismo. Antes del siguiente comentarista voy a llamar más nombres. Stacy P., Mike, John Smith, Marilyn Hernandez y Pee Wee Herman.

59:26 – 1:01:57Speaker 22

Yes, the commentator is here. Good morning. Do you want to speak? And you can adjust the microphone if you want. Yes, thank you. I am Marilyn Hernandez. Thank you for receiving me today, August 5th. I wanted to address a... I have a question for everyone. With the profits generated by these increased rates that are going to be used to improve response time with EMPLEO, EQUIPO Y SERVICIOS MÉDICOS. Y ENTONCES, ¿CÓMO? SI PODEMOS PAUSAR EL TIEMPO, CREO QUE USTED ES NUEVA A ESTOS PROCESOS. BIENVENIDA. TIPO DE COMENTARIO PÚBLICO NO ES PARA PODER TENER PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS O UNA CONVERSACIÓN.

Vamos a comenzar con el tema número 11. No estaba aquí cuando anunciaron los temas. Adelante, perdón. Tema número 11. Usted me quitó 12 segundos. No es justo. Vamos a comenzar con el tema número 11. Cantando... In Asian language. Singing in Asian language. Still singing in Asian language.

1:01:59Speaker 1

Theme number 12.

1:02:05 – 1:19:33Speaker 22

Still singing in Asian language. In Chinese. In Asian. in an Asian language still the reader continues to sing in an Asian language we are now going to comment on the general public I give you a minute free recently I realized something about and demonstrators in Los Angeles and criminals. I realize that the people in Los Angeles could have stopped the ICE truck. They are harassing the authorities and immigration, doing all kinds of destruction. There are no consequences for them. However, when the cartel Los pandilleros de Figueroa están invadiendo el vecindario. La ciudad de Los Ángeles y los manifestantes no hacen nada. Eso me dio una comparación clara entre su comportamiento. Entonces, cuando ustedes son fáciles de hacer bullying, como autoridades de ejecución, lo siguen haciendo bullying. Pero siendo malos, como los delincuentes y los cartelos, Y manifestando es lo más simple. Sí, y para un anuncio solamente el último orador, si quisiera tener un intérprete, nos puede dejar saber con 48 horas de anticipación. Esa opción está disponible para todos en la agenda también. No está requerido usar un intérprete, pero vamos a hacer lo mejor que podemos para proveerle uno, si lo solicita. Y si hay otro nombre, Presidente, todos los comentaristas registrados han hablado. Vamos ahora a los teléfonos. Sí, señor Presidente. Para los miembros del público, ahora vamos a hacer comentario público virtual. Voy a explicar el proceso. because it includes instructions on how to raise your hand. Please do not try to raise your hand until I have just explained the process. After I have explained it, I am going to ask the employees to allow the function of raising their hand for the virtual speakers. After that, the commentators can press star 9 to talk. They can press star 9 to hear a message indicating that their hand was raised. When he has to speak, an automated Zoom message will ask him to press 36 to turn on his microphone. If he doesn't do it, the employees will ask him to do it. At that moment he must do it, otherwise he will lose the time he has to speak. Finally, due to a delay between the meeting and the live stream, Por favor, escuchen atentamente para que sepa cuando le toca hablar. Y si uno está oyendo esta reunión en otro dispositivo, por favor baje el volumen en esos dispositivos cuando le toca hablar. Entre la demora de tiempo y el ruido va a causar mucha confusión si sigue escuchando en los otros dispositivos. Los temas abiertos para comentario público de la agenda son los temas 1 y 2 y 11 hasta 40. De nuevo, los temas de comentario público son los temas 1 a 2 y 11 a 40. Bueno, le toca hablar, por favor, identifique sobre cuáles de los temas quiere hablar y si es que quisiera comentario público general también. Ahora le voy a pedir que los empleados que permiten la función levanten la mano y vamos a llamar. Vamos a empezar con las personas que llaman. 7799, turn on your microphone, indicate your name and which topic you want to comment on. Caller 7799, it is your opportunity to speak. Please press star 6 to turn on your microphone. So at this moment we can move on with the next caller. I'm going to go back, because Mr. Spinner mentioned that this Christian experience of history is a uh... uh... and not the Christian ministry, and not the Christian experience, because you are inviting a first amendment challenge, and I'm going to have some things that I'm going to mention about SB 707, but SB 39 has to change it under the proverbs, not supporting Christian ministries. Number three, Heather Aubrey, I assume that the anti-policemen, Isabel, I assume that they are going to protest Heather Obrin, because we know, even though we know that Harris Dawson supports, incorporates abuse of journalists, but she has allowed to cover public and private acts. I know that all those who are against the police are going to oppose Heather Aubrey, even if the vote loses. Let's see if you stand by what you say. Or are you against the people who are not in agreement with you? Today we have the discussion about domestic violence training. Do you know how many cases of family violence are being monitored by the police department and by the fire department? They are committing delictive crimes. I know I mentioned number 5, but you have a very big problem. The police department should not be involved in the training. The question is why the city of Los Angeles is going to be involved in the training of intrafamily violence for its employees because we have 45,000 employees. I don't know what they are thinking. How bad is the intrafamily violence in the city that thousands of employees are being paid for training? to live having the police department that has so many problems with intrafamily violence imagine having to increase the intrafamily violence rates with everything they are covering the police department and firefighters play so much conflict a general public matter as I mentioned yesterday you have all kinds of criminal activity eventually Hablando de 707, la ciudad de Los Angeles no tiene una opción a no tener Zoom en las reuniones de la comité. El requerimiento es cuando tiene una ciudad con más de 30,000. Si la ciudad está en el condado con más de 600,000, ustedes no pueden, no tienen la opción a no tener Zoom como opción para las personas quienes no quieren ver a otros comentar. Lo tienen que tener. and they are going to have to undo everything that I was doing I am going for general public comment and they are going to give you a six-figure legal tablet of a drunk who is basically imitating commentator his time is over next speaker 2094. Caller 2094. Good morning, what do you want to talk about? Good morning, this is Byron talking about topic number 13, 18, 19, public comment general. Start with the topics. For topic number 13, we hope that it is named by the commission that can bring Transparency, responsibility of the body, because they failed to see what they have in the PPL, assuring that the letter will allow this body, like the elected officials, to bring transparency and responsibility to the police department. But due to the patterns of this body, it will surely be another distraction. In November, but for the 18-19, there are con otras cosas que tienen que sacar del RIP. Yo estaba esperando que el departamento que ayude con los ingenieros asegurando que no estemos compitiendo, cerrando casos de LAC y sus métricos, y que esto traiga métricos que están ayudando para que no lo vemos con desalojamientos aumentados, cometer el público en la agenda. Estamos esperando que un representante venga They are facilitating this process with the community, but most importantly, it is a misfortune that Marquis takes a free Friday after his one-month break, while Boyle Heights continues to burn and rot. And let's see that the kids go back to school with that chaos. It's a shame that this game... . . . . . All the topics and general public comment. Let's start with the topics. The first topic I want to mention is Mrs. Aubrey, appointed by the Police Commission. I suppose I want to give her an answer in advance. Every time she comes to work, she will be listening to the character of the City of Los Angeles, the Police Department, the Fire Department, and the Church of Scientology. There is another point that Mr. Bass was worried about, that he did not give credit to the Christian Church. You don't have to worry because this city is completely in love with the Church and the cult of Scientology. There are no worries there, but I wanted to talk, you will be listening to a lot And although there was progress, I am grateful that the police department no longer does its events and film Los Angeles in a way that Aaron Price brought us here to do something. A New Year's Eve event. I have to make an advice. There are five very serious trials against the Scientology of previous victims. We talk about human trafficking accusations, sexual assault, harassment, all kinds of horrible things. No one should be dealing with the Scientology. Commentators have to continue with a topic on the agenda. The first one, when the rate is rising, I want to know what SmokingScan means. But for me, it seems to me that you go much beyond what the average person thinks. They think that they like to put people in crisis. Their life, their situation of life and death. Wow. We charge them. I know that the city needs more money, and Smokin's Gang might agree with me, why not... It's to do with taxes and sociology, that half of the city has, and that money can help. They are against the public police, where they should not have an exemption of taxes, then, to have that money, or put parking in Edelwein Harbor, foreign Yo dice que la ciudad estaba muy consciente de las acusaciones horribles en contra de la cienciología, que había juicios. Alguien no quiere hacer un juicio en contra de cienciología, y saben seguro que tienen un buen caso, porque la cienciología tiene un monto masivo de dinero para abogados. No, yo sospecho al final que todos van a lograr. Entonces la ciudad se va a ver muy feo. to have eggs in their face when they realize that they are going to be condemned with these civil trials for things like human trafficking and abuse and abuse of elders and of weddings and of a boy's wives and of covering up crimes. I don't know if his advisor Soto Martínez is here.

1:19:40 – 1:42:05Speaker 25

1-403, por favor, prendase un micrófono, indiquen qué puntos quiere dar su comentario. Ponente, cuyo número es 1-403, esta es su oportunidad de dar su comentario. Por favor, oprima, estrellase para prender el micrófono. Adelante. Señor ponente, tenemos que seguir adelante, entonces. Son todos los comentaristas de la fila virtual para el comentario público. Bien, señor secretario, ¿qué sigue? Ahora se puede votar en el número 13, si quiere. Bueno, vamos a pasar al número 13. Podemos entablar esta conversación primero con el concejal Lee. Gracias, señor presidente. Quisiera invitar a Heather Aubrey a la mesa. But please start by giving a summary of your experience. I know you have worked with us before, but give us a description of who you are. Thank you, Mr. Secretary, with pleasure. Good morning. My name is Heather Aubrey, and I appreciate the opportunity to be with you and tell you a little bit of information about me and about my appointment in the police commissioner. I retired recently after so many years of service as a prosecutor. y ahora estoy muy agradecida de poder fungir en otra capacidad. Con su aprobación, voy a asumir un cargo crítico y con mucha responsabilidad en la Comisión de Policía. Soy del sur de Los Ángeles, Englewood, donde asistí a las escuelas públicas y fui a la Universidad de UC Berkeley y School of Law. Después de sacar la licencia, empecé como abogado in un sindicato y luego pasé el resto de mi carrera en la fiscalía municipal. Empecé como parte acusadora, donde había acusado personas de varios crímenes de tráfico, entre otras cosas, y luego me encargué de muchos casos civiles. También supervisé . . . . comité de derechos civiles, equidad, inmigración, envejecimiento y discapacidades. También el logro de que más estoy orgullosa, gracias a la dedicación de muchos otros colegas en esta oficina. Entonces, ¿por qué quiero ser parte de esta comisión de policía? Quisiera ser parte porque creo que es una oportunidad de continuar mi dedicación al servicio público en un un tema que me importa mucho, que es tener una buena policía. Y mi padre defunto era un campeón de derechos civiles y de mejorar las condiciones para los afroamericanos y otros grupos marginados en su hogar de Los Ángeles. Me importaba mucho mejorar las relaciones entre el pueblo y la policía. Esa es una oportunidad única para poder continuar este compromiso. También quisiera asegurar el avance continuo y el cumplimiento con la constitución y el cumplimiento equitativo. Durante las últimas semanas he pasado tiempo con los agentes de policía y he platicado con ellos sobre el trabajo que hacen y las comunidades que sirven. También he podido reunir con varios de ustedes antes de esta reunión del Consejo Municipal y sé que hay muchos asuntos que tratar en nuestro departamento de policía. Quisiera destacar tres temas que han salido tras las conversaciones. Primero es el uso de fuerza física. El uso de esta fuerza física de parte de la policía, ya sea letal o no letal, siempre va a ser un problema. También, además de revisar y adjudicar las categorías de esta fuerza física, Tenemos que fortalecer las políticas sobre técnicas de la bajada de escalación en situaciones para poder resolver esos conflictos de forma segura. También, como ustedes, tengo preguntas sobre el uso de esa fuerza durante las protestas y me interesa mucho aprender cómo usan las tácticas y las políticas de control de multitud. También me dedico a la ampliación de los equipos para enfrentar crisis sin armas y espero encontrar otras formas de ampliar ese trabajo. um la policía porque se usan esas paradas para mantener la seguridad pública. Sigo revisando todos los materiales y las aportaciones referentes a este asunto y el interés en prohibir estas paradas policiales. Y espero poder aprender más y participar en estas conversaciones para tratar este tema. Y tres, ¿qué es el reclutamiento y retención? La bajada continua de personal de la policía es un desafío persistente. Espero abordarlo con mucho pensamiento. Todas las comunidades de esta ciudad tienen derecho de recibir servicio puntual y seguro. de parte de la policía. También es importante que los agentes que sean parte de la policía no solamente cumplan con los estándares escritos, pero que represente la diversidad de nuestra ciudad. Esto puede fomentar la confianza y fortalecer las relaciones entre la policía y el público. Entonces, espero poder trabajar en todos esos esfuerzos de averigüentamiento y de atención en la policía. Hay muchos asuntos que tratar en esta comisión, pero son unos cuantos que quería destacar. Además de South Traffic, he reunido con los capitanes y otros agentes líderes. Y voy a continuar esas reuniones, además de recopilar datos del público y otras partes interesadas. No veo la hora para trabajar de cerca y recibir las aportaciones y recomendaciones de parte de este organismo para alcanzar nuestra meta compartida de tener la mejor policía para Los Ángeles. Muchas gracias y quedo dispuesta a responder sus preguntas. Gracias, Senora Aubrey, por presentarse. Y, señor presidente, si es posible hacer preguntas. Señor Price, adelante. Gracias. No tengo ninguna pregunta, pero quisiera tomar ese momento para dar una gran felicitación a usted por este nombramiento como la recién nombrada para esta comisión. Heather ha servido a la Ciudad de Los Ángeles como asistente de fiscal. municipal y una familia de líderes de derechos civiles y el legado de su familia todavía sigue con vida. Heather y yo también nos acordamos de su padre, Larry Aubrey, que llamamos el padrino del sur de Los Ángeles a causa de su activismo a lo largo de Los Ángeles. Y también la capacidad de ser responsable en estas comunidades no tiene competencia. Larry ha dejado una huella en nuestra ciudad y un gran impacto. Y esas experiencias como trabajadora de la ciudad hace quebrera con los criterios para poder servir en esta capacidad. Y con ese conocimiento que tiene la institución, le hace una candidata perfecta para este puesto. Y tiene toda la capacidad para poder apoyar a nuestras entidades de seguridad pública con una perspectiva sobre equidad y justicia. Felicidades por este nombramiento y esperamos seguir colaborando con ustedes y que usted sirva para hacer más responsable la policía de nuestra ciudad. Thank you, Mr. Price, and thank you, Mr. Lee. Thank you, Mr. President, and thank you, Mr. Lee, for inviting this candidate. I have known the Abre family for decades, and I know that you are well-trained in the city of Los Angeles. You will have a better thinking when you make decisions about public security, and I can't wait to see the progress, the change, y estos resultados que usted va a dar. Así que gracias por venir y esperamos poder seguir trabajando con usted. Gracias. Consejal McCosker. Buenos días, Heather. Buenos días a usted. Un gusto verla. Usted estaba en la Fiscalía Municipal unos antes que yo y quisiera hablar en nombre de Jim Hahn que le contrató Y tiene un profundo respeto para usted y toda su familia. Su padre, Larry, el campeón, que ha escrito miles de artículos en el periódico de Centenel. Y su familia, junto con él, ha sido un gran asesor y mentor para poder formar muchas cosas que la fiscalía municipal había hecho en los momentos más importantes, como reformar la policía de Los Ángeles y siempre tenemos que hacer más, pero quiero comentar que usted ha aportado esta ética en nuestra oficina y he visto su desarrollo como fiscal y luego hasta su puesto para representar el Departamento de Derechos Civiles y usted ha cumplido con los valores de su familia y lo que su familia ha aportado en Los Ángeles. Y quiero agradecerle por este nombramiento. Y lo que espero es una aceptación media vez usted tome juramento para este puesto. Y sé que ya lo va a hacer, pero quiero que usted se acuerde del legado de su familia y que usted siga contribuyendo esta reforma Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to emphasize the comments made earlier. Usted siempre se ha portado de forma profesional y he aprendido mucho sobre su padre y todo lo que ha hecho usted. Y gracias que después de servir la ciudad durante 31 años que usted ha jubilado y ha decidido continuar su servicio. Espero seguir trabajando con usted y dado su nombramiento, creo que usted va a ser una gran parte de esta comisión. Gracias. Gracias a los miembros y gracias al señor Lee por aprobar ese nombramiento en el comité y para que pase a la alcaldía. Y gracias a usted, Heather, por servir. Después de 31 años, usted pudiera haber dicho que ha hecho todo lo posible y que ya ha terminado su servicio. Y yo, francamente, estoy muy emocionado y aliviado porque... Y llenar estos puestos de la comisión no es un asunto fácil. Y también tener candidatos que vayan a servir nuestra ciudad y entender nuestras historias. Porque me preocupo mucho que las personas que dan estas legislaturas no tienen ningún contexto sobre cómo arreglar las cosas. Aunque han hecho estos arreglos en buena fe, pero no todos tienen este contexto. Y usted lo tiene como ser un ex empleada de la ciudad y también por ser de la comunidad y de una familia de activistas. especialmente estoy alegre porque me da otra oportunidad para poder presumir sobre su padre. No puedo decir suficiente sobre la familia Aubrey y Larry Aubrey. Pregunté a Heather si estaba bien poner unas fotos y contar unas historias por un minuto, pero Larry Aubrey estaba al final de su carrera como activista cuando yo apenas estaba empezando como activista. Era un hombre firme y cariñoso y lideró el Instituto de Aubrey, el NAACP, y luego después del disturbio de 1992 había empezado the Institute of Art with many other leaders. And he is very special to me because when I was a young activist, and that's not special to me as an individual, but we go out to do something and we make an impact. It's Larry Albrecht who calls you. And he says that we find ourselves in taxis or in the cafeteria of... and they tell us what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and how they can help us. And this legacy of the city continues with so much life through you and your brothers and sisters. And I think it's like a question of destiny. porque la verdad es que yo creo que por primera vez fui a la comisión de la policía para protestar. La policía, creo que su padre era líder de esta protesta. Así que para llegar a este momento, estar en este puesto y poder votar para aprobar su puesto como nombrado en la comisión de la policía, parece como algo divino, algo de suerte. Así que muchas gracias por su dedicación. Y sin más, pedimos que todos voten sí. Vamos a empezar la votación. Y el contenido de votos, 13 votos a favor. Felicidades. Bien. ¿Quién sigue? Ahora se puede votar en los puntos 2 y 14 a 38. Vamos a empezar la votación y el conteo de votos. 13 votos a favor. ¿Qué sigue? Ahora podemos continuar a la audiencia pública del punto número 1. Este punto tiene que ver con la adopción para autorizar el comienzo de diligencias de dominio inminente para los residentes que aparecen en la ordenanza en el borrador. Primero vamos a escuchar una presentación verbal del borrador. El director asistente del departamento de agua y luz y después de ese informe, el concejal puede hacer cualquier pregunta que pueda tener. Y tras esas preguntas, cada uno de los dueños de propiedad puede presentar ante este consejo y luego podemos hacer preguntas de seguimiento a estos propietarios o sus representantes. Vamos a empezar con la presentación. Muchas gracias. Adriana Perez, asistente directora del departamento de agua y luz. ¿Ahora me escucha mejor? En esta audiencia, vamos a determinar si el consejo quisiera adoptar la ordenanza para aprobar la resolución de necesidad y autorizar el comienzo de diligencias de dominio eminente y adquirir las propiedades que aparece en el borrador de ordenanza. Este borrador no trata la compensación que vamos a pagar por adquirir esta propiedad. Y tampoco este borrador no prohíbe la negociación continua. Es posible que podamos llegar a un acuerdo sin tener que ir a juicio. Y esto siempre es nuestra esperanza. Pero en este caso, por las razones que aplicamos en el informe al personal y esta presentación, pedimos que el Consejo apruebe la ordenanza para que el personal pueda seguir adelante con los pasos legales en esta adopción. Adoptar la ordenanza requiere dos tercios de voto a favor para que se apruebe. Al cerrar esta audiencia, Usted le va a pedir que ustedes aprueben esta ordenanza que tiene unos resultados clave que también aparece en el informe de la Junta de Agua y Luz. En este archivo del consejo les va a brindar todos los datos necesarios. y todos los documentos auxiliares formarán parte de estas diligencias. Si hay más información que se presente al Consejo en este momento, se va a agregar al registro. Si tienen preguntas acerca de los hechos, no duden en hacerme cualquier pregunta Y si tienen preguntas legales acerca de los hallazgos, por favor pregunten a la fiscalía municipal. Y también tenemos representantes de la división de bienes raíces para hacer cualquier pregunta que puedan tener sobre bienes raíces. Les recuerdo que los primeros dos hallazgos, primero el interés del público y dos, la necesidad de adquirir el proyecto y identificar la propiedad y que el proyecto se encuentra en el mejor lugar con menos heridas y para el bien del público. Y esto no se usa para el dominio eminente en el proceso de adquisición. Estos hallazgos se aplican a cada uno de estos hallazgos. Aunque voy a hablar sobre mucho que aparece en el reporte, quiero destacar unos puntos. Primero, tenemos el proyecto de Swishing Station, por la que estamos adquiriendo ese proyecto y las propiedades. Number four. Los avisos sobre esta audiencia se mandaron a los propietarios por correo certificado. con esto concluye la presentación y quisiera tomar esta oportunidad para recordar a los concejales que se requiere un voto de dos tercios para aprobarse. No veo ninguna pregunta o ningún comentario del consejo, entonces voy a pedir que los representantes o los propietarios en sí usen este momento para presentarse ante el consejo.

1:42:08 – 1:53:28Speaker 22

If you are a owner who receives a notification for this audience of the water and energy department, please raise your hand so that we can hear from you. It is your opportunity to speak. I will also note, while we wait for people to respond, that the council received two letters, one from Michael Lee's offices representing Donald and Lee, with the date of July 27, 2026. and Robert Rupicki, presenting street 515. These letters are part of the act and are available in file 26-04006. The last opportunity. Mr. President, I do not see anyone coming as one of the owners interested. Well, with that observation, we are going to close the hearing on agenda number one. And now I'm going to put a motion to approve this issue, which includes the adoption of a revised ordinance dated July 8, 2026, approving the need for the need resolution. Well, Councilor Blumenfield, that's fine. We can open the list for this issue. Close the list and count the votes. 13 in favor. Well, very good. Thank you all very much. Thank you. What else? The council can now move on. The topic number nine, a special call from Councilor Price to be detained. We give Mr. Price the opportunity to be detained. Well, we can open the list against votes 12 in favor. We invite Mr. Price back to the next topic. Thank you, Mr. President, colleagues. Intrafamily violence is not only abuse or physical abuse, but it is to erase the agency of someone, their self-esteem, money, until they no longer feel themselves. This happens to people of every gender, every class of income, every neighborhood, every age. It does not change when the relationship ends. Survivors carry this in their health, sleep, their dream, and the ability to do their job. El equipo de respuesta de violencia intrafamiliar, conocido como DART, trae junto al departamento de policía de Los Angeles para traer supervivientes y sus hijos, llegar a seguridad y empezar a reconstruir sus vidas. Por esto, el entrenamiento importa. Nuestros empleados tienen que saber que el entrenamiento ayuda a identificar los signos y cómo responder al tratamiento antes de que sea tarde. Hay gente aquí en el ayuntamiento quienes viven con esto. o conocen que alguien está viviendo con esto. Merecen un lugar de empleo que los ven y que los apoyan. Hacemos el trabajo para proteger a la gente. Eso solamente significa algo si estamos asegurando de que nuestra propia familia de la ciudad está protegida. Entonces, si a alguien como ustedes les importa un trabajador, quiero que sepan que hay apoyo disponible aquí and that they do not have to continue looking for it on their own. This motion asks the staff, the investment department, to analyze LEVE and IPB training for employees and employees. I do not say that the training is broken, we are emphasizing the employees in training that is that is current, comprehensive and effective to reach people. I am asking that my colleagues join to support our report so that we have recommendations to be able to improve how we support our employees. I want to thank Councilor Hernandez for supporting me and supporting the motion and thank the committee employees. I ask for your vote in favor, members. Bueno, gracias, Consejala Hutt. Cuenten los votos. Tres a favor. ¿Qué más? El tema número 11, moción Hernández-Harris Dawson para recibir y archivar. Bueno, cuenten los votos. Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to talk about something that has happened in our district to someone who is very important. Big Slips, I don't know if you know him. It's a professional name. David Cavazos is his name. He's an artist of tattoo and graffiti from Los Angeles, from Pico Union. They know him as one of the pioneers of the Los Angeles Chicano style, which has influenced graffiti, tattoos and street art from all over the world. Some things that are better known are his black and white calligraphy, and graffiti and tattoo, creating a bridge, collaborating with musicians and artists in exhibitions throughout Los Angeles, teaching young artists, preserving the history of graffiti Los Angeles. Big Slip organizes an event where it brings together artists and painters who teach the kids in different ways and A few weeks ago, he had a stroke. He's in a hospital and he hasn't woken up yet. So I'm talking about this because I hope we can all send him and his family prayers and good thoughts. More recently, Big Sleep has spoken publicly with his battle of... Mr. Secretary? Estamos fijándonos con las enmiendas para los temas 39 y 40, señor presidente. Bueno, podemos hacer la lectura antes de la distribución, pero tenemos que esperar hasta distribuir. No sé si podemos leer los resúmenes para las enmiendas para el acta. Mr. Price, Mr. President, the 40th issue, especially for an amendment that changes the fund recipient from the service office to the street service office with the application of illicit shooting and the issue number 39 changes the language of Dedication Square and replaces the old man with the word Crawford.

Su hija, Addison Arnold, es parte de nuestra familia y trabaja como un vínculo comunitario de alcance para saneamiento y medio ambiente. Nació en Filadelfia en el 64. Lo crearon en Colorado. Atleta talentoso, competiendo en natación y tirarse de plomo en Boulder. Y conoció a su esposa Kay, el amor de su vida. Compartieron 57 años de casamiento. Crearon dos hijos y tuvieron una casa con mascotas siempre. Michael trabajó en Rainhamel Inc., un negocio de mejoramiento de casa en Fort Worth, Texas, y se hizo el presidente. Pero lo que lo destacó era su carácter. created in the good of others. He trusted others so much that he did business and deals in a way to shake hands until he retired. He was a dear friend. He liked to make jokes and always gave a hug or a laugh to someone when they needed him. Michael will be missed and his memory will bring light to all those who remember him, to the Arnold family. Thank you very much, Ms. Hernandez. There is no amendment o ni una moción de clausura más, se levanta la sesión.
