Uh the record should reflect that the city council convened for close session with all five members being present, excuse me, that prior to recessing to close session, it was announced that the two items that were listed on the agenda were discussed in close session. Under conference of legal counsel anticipated litigation, there were two matters discussed. Uh both of those matters were presented to the city council but no final action was taken and there's nothing required to be reported at this time.

It's appropriate to continue with the open portion of the meeting. Thank you, Mr. City Attorney. We will uh continue on to our invocation, please. Mr. Matanga.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you.

Yeah.

Oh, you want everybody? Okay. Thank you. Hear them speakers. So, our next items is um Mr. City Manager, any corrections to the agenda,

mayor, council members, there aren't any corrections to the agenda. Thank you. All right, our proclamations. Let me grab those. One, two, three, four, five.

We have um five proclamations for this month. The first one is the national child abuse prevention month. April is recognized as child national child abuse prevention month. A time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of protecting children and supporting families. Every child deserves to grow up safe, stable, and in a nurturing environment. And this month serves as a reminder that preventing child abuse is a shared responsibility. By promoting awareness, encouraging positive parenting, and supporting local programs and resources, we can help strengthen families and reduce the risk of abuse and neglect. I encourage all family members to remain vigilant, to support one another, and to speak up when something doesn't feel right. Together we can help ensure that all children in Montabelloo feel safe, supported, and valued. We also have autism awareness month. April is al is also designated as autism awareness month. Autism or the autism spectrum disorder includes a range of conditions that can reflect social interaction, communication, and behavior in unique ways. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1 in 36 children in the United States are diagnosed with a autism along with many adults who live with autism today. In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly officially designated April 2nd as the World Autism Awareness Day, a day that encourages global efforts to foster greater understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.

As a community, it is important that we continue to educate ourselves, promote inclusion, and celebrate the strengths and unique perspectives of individuals on the autism spectrum. For more information, you can visit autismspeaks.org. Mayor, we we have um we're actually doing an event on on Saturday um and it was inspired by one of our firefighters. Uh the chief was um originally intended to speak on it on this event. If it's okay, can we have the firefighter talk about the event on Saturday? Yes. Great. I actually mentioned it during a community of interest. But um

this event was really inspired by this firefighter. Yeah. Which is what we're has having on Saturday. Oh, great. Thank you. And it's

good evening, mayor, mayor prom, and council members. My name is Eric Suarez, and I'm proud to stand here tonight, not only as a member of the Montabella Fire Department, but as a proud father of two incredible children with autism. As firefighters, we train for the unknown. But no, no amount of training could have ever prepared me for having two children diagnosed with autism. That's why this autism awareness initiative is so near and dear to my heart. I want to thank our fire chief for his approval of my proposed initiative. I also want to thank the mayor, mayor prom, city manager, assistant city manager, and all the members of council, not only for your leadership, but for your support of this this uh wonderful cause. I truly believe that together we're making our community safer, stronger, and more inclusive. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

If we can please be respectful to our speakers, please. Thank you. We'll continue with Armenian History Month. Alongside alongside Autism Awareness Month, the city of Montabelloo also recognizes April as Armenian History Month, a significant recognition that highlights the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the Armenian community. Throughout this month, we honor the achievements of the Armenian Americans who also remember who while also remembering the lives lost during the American genocide of 1915. April holds particular significance here in Montabelloo. In 1968, our city became the first in the nation to unveil the Armenian Martyrs Memorial Monument, a powerful tribute to the victims of the genocide. The 70-foot monument continues to stand as a s a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and education for future generations. And its recent designation as the California historic landmark further solidifies its importance in our community. Our next is on uh donate life month. April is also National Donate Life Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the critical need for organ, eye, and tissue donors. More than a 100,000 individuals across the United States are currently waiting for life-saving transplants. By becoming a donor, one person can save up to eight lives and improve many more through tissue donation. Registering as a donor in California is

simple and can be done online or when renewing your driver's license throughout the month. Efforts like National Donate Life Blue and Green Day encourages community members to show their support and help spread awareness. I encourage all Montabella residents to consider registering as donors and giving the gift of life. Together, we can make a lasting impact and bring people hope to those that need it. To learn more about this important initiative, residents are encouraged to visit donatelife.net. And we also have this month Invincible Day. It is my honor to recognize April 1st as Invincible Day, a day of strength, a day for survivors as introduced by the East Los Angeles Women's Center. As we begin sexual assault awareness month, this day serves as a powerful reminder of strength, resilience, and healing. It honors survivors and encourages those who may still be suffering in silence to know that they are not alone and that support is available. Invincible day represents a new beginning. It reminds us that reaching out is an act of courage and that as a community, we have a shared responsibility to support survivors and stand against sexual violence. Throughout the month of April, residents are encouraged to show solidarity by participating in the red lips hoops on Invincible campaign, reinforcing that who we are and what we wear never justifies sexual violence. Together we stand with survivors, affirming that they are believed, powerful, resilient, and invincible. We listen, we act, we rise. That would conclude our proclamations. Thank you.

10 seconds and we're out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tighten up quick.

Thank you. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much. Appreciate your time. Back up. Back up.

Just real fast. congratulations, Mayor Pro. We'll get ready for the next speaker. Mr. City Clerk will not

Thank you. Our next speaker is Lisa Losano, followed by Rosa Tomo. All right. Hello everyone, mayor, mayor Potam, city council and staff. Um, my name is Lisa Lozano. I am a district one uh member, a resident actually. So, the reason why I'm here is because I would like to address uh a serious safety issue at the left turning lane before Montabella Boulevard and Paramont. Um I have witnessed uh several times already where drivers I believe that they are attempting to go towards Monarch Street to make a left. They are prematurely turning into the oncoming traffic lane which would bring you into the northbound lane that goes into the Applebees and AMC right before Paramont. I've witnessed this a couple times already and I had just to hold my breath pretty much because both times those people that were turning onto that lane reverse back into on the traffic that's going southbound and causing the cars to just honk stop avoid accidents. So, my concern is that um number one, them reversing back into the lane to correct themselves to continue to continue southbound on Monabala Boulevard to make a left on Monarch. Or another thing is for them to continue driving on that lane that they just turned on to, which would also head on uh cause a head-on collision. So, it's just a safety concern. Um, I would hate for anyone to be involved in a head-on collision. I know there's been head-on collisions prior to the uh center divide uh center um islands that were posted um which look very beautiful. Thank you for

that. But just, you know, a safety concern and hopefully it can be looked at or maybe um a kind some kind of a signage be placed like a do not enter or maybe the curvature on it can be tightened up a little bit so it doesn't look like it's a lane to actually go into. So that's the reason why I'm here just to make the bring it to the attention. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your comment. Next speaker is Rosa Mayo followed by Raul Ort. consul. Um so um Um, especio um Ina organiz Islio.

No personal see. Cesar Chavez. Gracias.

Gracias for commentary. Next speaker is Rahul Ort followed by Bill Piso. Before you start the clock, I just want to make a correction for you. It was an Armenian genocide, not an American genocide.

So, do your homework. Uh a few years ago, uh the bridge on Whittier Boulevard, the the running boards on the side were broken, splintered, missing, left a big opening where somebody could fall through into the riverbed. I put in work orders for that and I don't I think it must have taken about 3 years before they finally fixed it. They did a nice job finally, but it it was dangerous. I could just see some child falling through there or something. And now that brings me to the the parking situation over here where the two backstabbers got together and did a number on me because I can't park there no more. They changed the sign, you know. I guess maybe if I park there again, they're going to give me the death penalty. I don't know. But uh that is so petty. That was so petty. That parking spot is not used. That is so petty. So now I'm going to bring another thing to you. The pedestals on Whitier Boulevard entering Montabelloo from the east and from the west. The parking sign at the New Mark Mall. The parking sign on fourth and Whitier I think it is. The intersection sign of Weer and Montabelloo. All the lights are burned out. I've watched them go one go out, one go out, one go out. Now to me, uh I think that should be repaired. That's been out for years. You pay a lot of money for those items and you need to repair them. keep them up. You know, it it just looks bad. I know that if your names were in lights on those things, they would have been repaired two hours after the light went out. But you need to take care of Montabelloo and not just yourselves. There's a lot of repairs needed. I noticed that stuff and I'll be bringing it up to you. I don't know why we can't get those things fixed. There's a lot of stuff that needs to be fixed and I'm going to be bringing it up to you. Now,

I just want to ask you a question, Mayor Tamayo, and I hope I can get an answer. How many parking spots does the city council, each person need? It's a simple question. You want to ask the attorney maybe? With all due respect, I did read a statement that says that the city council is not by law able to engage in questions and answers.

Well, that's not what Arnold Glassman says. Arnold Glassman says to save our questions for the end of the at the thing. I saved her for the end and I'm asking her a question. Now, you are you arguing with Arnold Glassman? What I'm not arguing with anybody. I'm telling you that the council cannot engage in questions and answers with members of the Arnold Glman says different. He says to save your questions for the end of when you're talking. Save them all and give them to her at the at at that time. I'm asking her, how many parking spots does each one of you city council people need? And now my time is up. Right. Yes. Thank you very much for your answer. You're very kind.

Next speaker is Bill Piso followed by Denise Agopian.

Good evening. Wanted to bring to attention to council of a situation we have in South Monello. Again, couple of months back, we passed a city ordinance banning oversized vehicles and trailers and things of that nature being parked on city streets. Well, our friend is back. He's not using the trailers anymore. He's just parking cars on the street. This evening, uh before I came up, there were 22 cars that he owns. 22 cars that are parked on the city streets. Now, I've worked with Joseph Kota code enforcement and he is doing a phenomenal job, but unfortunately his hands are tight. When they go down and they red tag them, he this gentleman has 72 hours to move them. And he knows he's got 72 hours. So, he moves them within 3 days to another spot. And it's just a vicious circle right now. Couple of the residents have reached out to me because this guy's parking these cars in their junk cars in front of homes when they don't have any parking for people who come and visit and all. So my suggestion is if he's been tagged numerous times, red tagged three, four times a month on the fifth time, let's tow these cars and get rid of them. I mean, he is totally junking up our city, disregarding everything. And code enforcement knows his name. They know where he lives. They've engaged him numerous times, but unfortunately, their hands are tied. So, please, Mr. Alvarez, reach out to Joseph Cotto, code enforcement. He'll fill you in. He knows him. He knows where he lives. he's talked to him, but it's a it's a real nuisance and really would like it to be addressed because it just

makes our city look horrible. All right. Thank you. Thank you for your comment.

Next speaker is Denise Agopian followed by Linda Nicholas. Good evening, Mayor, Council, citizens of Montabelloo. Um, I have come the last three meetings presenting facts regarding the problems that have been created on Montabelloo Boulevard. Uh, nobody has come back to me with any solutions. It is really imperative that you look at the number of accidents that have happened. This construction I believe was done illegally. Number one. Number two, it did not go through traffic and safety. Number three, thank you for bringing all of the past mayors together last week because I was able to ask each one of them why did they vote on this and everyone told me the same thing. It never came to council. They never voted. Uh so with my fellow business owners, we have put together six suggestions to help remedy this situation. Business owners and also property owners. Um I passed those out. Do you all have the map that I created? Okay. So I'm not an engineer. It's not to scale. It's the best that I can do. And if you look at it horizontally with the long yellow at the top, the orange line, those suggestions are number one, look to the left where number one is, remove 4 feet from that turn section. If you look where number two is, remove 14 ft. So I looked at it, it doesn't affect the water. It doesn't affect any of the

trees or the plants. It's just 14 ft of cement. Number three, install a stop uh not a stop sign, I'm sorry, a U-turn sign that says U-turns are okay. Number four, create five parking spaces. The west side of the street was completely painted red where we had parking spaces before for employees. I know this is not uh our private parking, but it is public parking. And if you haven't figured it out by now, parking is what every business needs. And you can't build something without addressing the parking issues. Number five, remove the red curb in front of the vape shop at um he's at 524 North Montabelloo Boulevard. remove the two red spots that are painted out and we lost two parking spaces there. That's in front of connect insurance and um uh help us to rebuild our businesses. My Easter business was down almost 75%. Um quite a bit. Okay. Um I know these things cost money, but I think that whoever drew these plans, I don't know if it's the contractor. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you. Next speaker is Linda Nicholas, followed by Mike Reyes.

Excuse me. Would you please?

Good evening. My name is Linda Nicholas, co-founder of Match 906 Furrow. Um, I wanted to forward that article to the city manager. It was an article regarding four cities, Vernon, Commerce, Industry, and City of Santa Fe Springs, where our former city manager, Bobadia, is now their city manager. It was a brilliant idea for businesses. It's the article's right there. I try to get it up to you, but it's there printed, so you can read it. It's a brilliant idea to promote business here in Montabella. We're not, we've never been a businessfriendly city. And that's been very obvious. You're killing the businesses that are here now. You're not bringing any businesses. You're killing the ones we have. This woman has come here four times to the console. Have any of you gone to her business, taken time out, and just stood there and look and see what's happening? No, cuz I asked her. That's wrong. You sit in those seats for a reason. You represent our city. Madame mayor, please start depending demanding respect. Four times to uh Peralta has spoken over you. She doesn't ask permission. She doesn't ask to speak. She just barges right in like the last meeting and goes on her rant over and over. You just sat there. You did not control the meeting. Again, you heard it from another speaker. You're the mayor. This is your business meeting. You control it, not her. She has to ask permission to speak. She doesn't. Four times she's done that in your meetings. You have to start saying, you know what, stop. You don't have permission or ask permission if you want to speak. She goes on her rants and nobody stops her. That's why everybody gets so frustrated. We're talking about it in the audience cuz we're looking at you and you're not stopping her and she's ratting and raving because she didn't like the way they voted. Well,

guess what? Not everybody's going to vote her way. Not every issue is what she wants. Number one. Okay. So, please be more mindful of that because this is your meeting, Madame Mayor. And please, city manager, somebody go and look at this business. These businesses are there. 42 years her business is down 75%. I was a business owner. You can't pay your taxes. You can't pay your rent. You can't pay your salaries if you there's no money coming in. This is affecting their bottom line. And I don't want you to put a person that's been in business 42 years out of business. I don't want to see that business closed because you guys didn't bother to take the time to go and look at what's happening. It was done incorrectly and I'm sure it was done illegally. And more than likely, I'll bet you any money, Infrastructure Engineering did the design cuz that's what they're famous for. Now coming south of Montabella Boulevard, there's a part right before you get to Michael Collins where if a person's coming southbound, they've crashed six times through the fence.

Thank you for your comment. Next speaker is Mike Reyes, followed by Sarcis.

Okay, we don't have Mike Reyes. Is Sarkeis here?

Okay, we'll have Saris come up. Thank you. Hi, my name is Saris Sahakan is my last name. I'm from Anish Chicken representing Anish Chicken in Montabelloo. I'm a business owner in Montabelloo and I'm a property owner in Montabelloo also. Uh lately there was a lot of construction going on in Montabelloo, renovating the streets and uh trying to make everything beautiful and uh safer and uh more convenient for the people are using the streets and stuff. But I just want to let you know that that is uh after extending the divider right front of my store at the 528 North Montabella Boulevard. We have a proof next door from a connect insurance that people are making a left turn from the let's call it uh Bon Shopping Center going to North Monabello Boulevard divider is so small that is a five accidents and we have that on a recording on a camera recording And it does not make any safer in the streets. Uh after that there was a streets painted as a red not to park on the Monabello Boulevard that affected my business. Right now the

before that the the con construction was affecting a business but right now is uh all this situation is affecting my business. Um people whoever comes customers are coming in and out they're always complaining. I am there I see I see I hear all the complaints you know I'm the only one or my neighbors are the ones who comes over here and complains for that reason but there is lot of lot of other residents or customers are calling and uh coming in and complaining that it's very inconvenient very inconvenient to in and out to my business and I hope it's not going to cause more more accidents. Uh this is all my concern and I do appreciate your Thank you.

Thank you for your comment.

Next speaker is Tila Gregorian. Uh, good evening, Montabelloo council members, city staff, and Montabell residents. My name is Sheila Gregorian. My address is on file. Oh, sorry. My name is Sheila Gregorian. My address is on file. I've been a resident of Mabel most of my life and uh I can understand this businessmen that are so concerned and we as a city also need to be concerned about this problem on Montabelloo Boulevard. We need to work with our businesses not against them. We need more businesses in Montabelloo and we need to work with the ones that we still have working here opening that still have their businesses here. I'm just uh uh um I'm I'm going to get off that topic now and get on to uh to the business of building homes at the country club. Uh sorry folks, but you cannot build homes in that property. That property was given to the city of Mabello for recreation, not for home development. So whomever wants to build homes there can just move on to another city and build homes elsewhere. Because that country club belongs to all of us, the citizens of Montabalo, the residents of Montabalo. It was given to the city for

our pleasure, not for somebody else to go up there and build homes. So, that is a that is the worst situation that I've heard the city build uh be in. How can anyone even consider building homes in a country club? That is for all of our use, not just for a few special privileged people. and whomever wants them built there uh can will have to do without the the money that they would they're thinking of getting. And I know that uh the uh manager of our uh country club has uh also a um um the one in um Alhhamra Court and uh uh has his family living there. It's almost like his now. I mean working not living there but working there. It's almost like he owns owns it. But I've got news for him. It'll be a cold day in hell before he can take this away from our city. That country club belongs to all of us. City of residents of Ma Balo, not to someone that's running the country club. We can replace him by drop of a hat. So I think he needs a lot of thinking to do. He is not the owner of that property and he has no say so as to what goes on. What is the law there?

Thank you. Thank you for your comment. Madame Mayor, we did receive a speaker card after the public comment statement was read. Would you like us to call the next person? Yes, please. Okay. Uh we have Greg Gonzalez.

Uh good evening. Thank you for the time. Uh still disappointed to see some plastic water bottles around. Um I didn't bring any reusables today, but uh looking for some leadership and some courage to ban those at least during city council meetings as a start. Um more later u Olympics. Two years ago, I made a public comment about what plans the city had for 2028. It's now 2026 and I asked the same question. Are we in contact with LA28? Have we contacted the Senagalles Olympic Federation and invited them to use our facilities like the Quiet Canon Country Club? Have we thought about staging a pickleball tournament and our nice courts as a possible demonstration sport? Who's in charge? Who's thinking about this? As we deal with our important civic and livability issues that my fellow residents so eloquently and passionately advocate for, I also call upon city leadership to think about cultural celebration and to think about what our message to the world will be when they come and visit in two years. Let's not let the world come to Los Angeles and miss Montabelloo. Thank you. Thank you for your comment,

mayor. That concludes all speaker cards for non-aggenda items. Thank you.

We'll move on to our consent calendar. Uh Mr. City Attorney, certainly, Mr. Mayor. Uh we are now on the consent calendar. All matters listed under consent calendar are considered to be routine. Any items a member wishes to discuss, including any items the public submitted speaker cards for, should be designated at this time. All other items may be approved in a single motion. Such approval will also wave the reading of any ordinance. Uh tonight we will go in the following order. Council member Melendez, would you like to pull anything from consent? No items. Council member Alonzo, no items. Mayor Prom Romero, no items. Council member Peralta, none. And Mayor Toyo,

no items. Okay. So, with with that, if I can get a motion um to approve consent items, and they are Number eight, 16. Eight. 8 through 16. Yes. All consent. 8 through 16. If I could get a motion and a second. I'll motion to approve. I'll second.

Motion by uh council member Feralta. Second by Mayor Prom Romero. We'll move on to uh AB. We need a roll call now or no? Oh, sorry. Yeah, we need roll call. Roll call. Thank you. Thank you. Council member Melendez, I. Council member Alonzo, I. Mayor President Romero, I. Council member Pala, I. Mayor Tomayo,

and I vote I. Thank you. Um, okay. Now we're on AB 1234, travel reports. Um, anybody have travel reports? Looking no travel reports. We'll move on to orals and I have an oral. Um I'm seeking consensus to ask staff to explore the feasibility of adding the uplighting to city hall to enhance the visibility and the civic pride and report back with recommendations. So, it's the the uplighting that you see in our neighboring cities or sometimes at um at city hall at Los Angeles City Hall. An example would be like we would light up blue today for autism awareness. So, that's what I'm uh seeking.

Listen, any comments? We're happy to consider it. Mayor, thank you. And we'll report back. Okay. Thank you. And that um we're done. So we will that's that's it, right? Where is my Thank you. And we will adjourn the meeting at 7:59. Thank you.
