“Yeah, I think this is an excellent opportunity. We heard from our economic development director that there's going to be an opportunity to revisit the signage ordinance in a future update. So my ask for the staff is to reach out to the sign companies so we can start soliciting their feedback. And now reflecting back, I've actually encountered quite a few who have raised concerns and just shared that it affects not only small businesses, but obviously their businesses as well to be able to navigate through that process.

“Thank you very much for your report. Well, my question is for the city manager. And you all touched about some of the barriers to some of this housing.

“Right, and specifically to the El Rey project, how much additional funding do we need to move that project forward? And then kind of when will we know from our federal grant that we submitted?”

“Thank you. I want to bring forward a request from some Northridge Drive residents. And to be honest, I can understand their frustration. There's a red zone that they've been requesting to get painted for like five years. It's ridiculous, to be honest. And, you know, so much that they basically have lost faith in the city to be able to take care of some of this low hanging fruit. So I talked to Councilmember De La Rosa a little bit ago, and so I'm going to be inviting the mayor and Councilmember De La Rosa to the Northridge area neighborhood to talk to residents and see how we can come up with…”
