They seek to be able to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.\, daily. The project does not involve any interior or exterior alterations to the building\, and there will be no entertainment. \n  \nMOTION: \nAs pertaining to the proposed issuance of a CUB for serving a full line of alcoholic beverages at Kourosh Restaurant\, 22635 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills CA\, 91367\, and after having held one(1) public meeting over Zoom for the application filed by the restaurant owner\, Famoush Ranjbari\, the WHWCNC Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds \nthat: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project is in basic compliance with all of the requirements of the Los Angeles City Municipal Code\, and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC); and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project adheres to all of the requirements of the City’s and State’s codes without requesting variances or exemptions; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the restaurant seeks to be able to operate from 8 AM to 2:00 AM daily; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the restaurant will have 9 parking spaces specifically designated for their use\, and dozens of other parking spaces that patrons may us within the shopping center lot; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, there will be no modifications to either the interior or exterior of the restaurant; \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee (PLUM)\, for the findings and recommendations stated herein\, recommends that the application and plans submitted by Kourosh Restaurant at 22635 Ventura Blvd. for a CUB to sell and serve a full line of alcoholic beverages receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC). \n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee also recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills –Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendations to SUPPORT this motion presented to the WHWCNC Board on June 11\, 2025. \n  \nMotion: Matt Richman \nSecond: Marty Lipkin \n  \nVOTE:     YES -6 (Steurer\, Wasserman\, Rice\, Richman\, Fletcher\, Lipkin) \nNO -0 \nABSTAIN-0 \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. 3 \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(24-51) (CIS) Community Impact Statement\, Council File 25-0600-S7 \n  \nFor discussion and possible action                                                            (estimated time 15 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File 25-0600-S7 \n  \nThe WHWCNC joins other Neighborhood Councils in Supporting Council File 25-0600-S7 for the City Council to restore Neighborhood Council (NC) budgets from the current proposed $25\,000 back to $32\,000. \nThe $32\,000 funding is critical for operational effectiveness\, community engagement\, and support for local nonprofits and community focused events. This proposed reduction represents less than half of the original $50\,000 allocation intended when Neighborhood Councils were initially established\, not accounting for inflation\, which significantly magnifies the impact of this funding decrease. \nThe WHWCNC also requests a rollover of supplemental funds from the prior fiscal year.  Unspent rollover funds are a part of each NC’s allocated  funds and are necessary to maintain effective community outreach and engagement\, as has been practiced in previous fiscal years. \n  \nVote at Committee:    Yes 3  No 0  Abstain 0. \n  \nhttps://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=25-0600-S7 \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 4 \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(24-052) (CIS) Community Impact Statement\, Council File 25-0002-S29 \n  \nFor discussion and possible action                                                            (estimated time 15 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File No: 25-0002-S29 – Support AB 867. \n  \nMotion: The WHWCNC Board to supports AB 867. On April 8\, 2025\, the Resolution (Blumenfield – Hernandez) was introduced in support for AB 867 (Lee)\, which would prohibit the declawing of a cat unless a veterinarian performs the procedure for a medically necessary purpose that benefits the cat’s health. The Resolution states that cat declawing is a cruel and unethical surgical procedure that includes the amputation of the first knuckle of each cat’s toes\, resulting in lifelong disfigurement and pain. The Resolution further states that declawing is prohibited or considered unethical in several countries\, including Sweden\, Brazil\, Germany\, Switzerland\, the United Kingdom as well as in 15 counties and cities in the United States including New York and Los Angeles. \nThe Department of Animal Services is in support of AB 867.

The WHWCNC also objects to the exemptions being considered in the \nMunicipal Lobbying Ordinance for 501(c)(3)s and 501(c)(5)s as these exemptions have been abused and used as an avenue for corrupt practices and activities. \n  \nIn May 2022\, the Ethics Commission recommended comprehensive updates to the \nMunicipal Lobbying Ordinance (MLO). See Council File No. 22-0560. The Ad Hoc Committee \non Government Reform held hearings on the Ethics Commission’s policy proposal in February \nand March of 2023. \nBut no further action was taken and the council file expired on March 17\, 2025. \nOn April 23\, 2025\, the members of the Ethics Commission voted to retransmit the previous 2022 recommendations. \nThe City Council is required to hold a public hearing on policy proposals that are transmitted by the Ethics Commission within 180 days. If a hearing is not held within that time period\, the City Clerk is required to schedule the policy proposal at the next regular City Council meeting.

These on-campus projects are scheduled annually and are on-going throughout the school year from February 2025 until the last day of school in June 2025. Both programs are happening now and will continue regardless of the source of funding; and Leegie Parker\, PTO President provided the committee a detailed presentation of these projects\, including resources and supplies needed for multi-departmental curriculum and execution inside of classrooms. The Department Stipends include classroom materials such as arts supplies\, books\, calculators\, software\, sheet music and instruments\, and equipment for labs\, Physical Education and Robotics. Stipends will provide 2\,200 Taft students\, grades 9 through 12 these tools needed for an enhanced education. Departments include: AIAT-full inclusion gifted program\, Art-Fine\, Art-Visual\, College Office\, Computer Science\, Drama\, English\, Foreign Language\, Health\, Library\, Mathematics\, Music-Instrumental\, Music-Vocal\, Physical Education\, Science\, Social Special Education and Vex Robotics. \n  \nThe PBIS/RJ Program is a new initiative at Taft this school year. The objective is to encourage all students to act responsibly\, address conflict resolution through positive communication and underscore behavior expectations campus-wide. Funds will be used for the production of displays and posters\, with placements throughout the campus highlighting these objectives. \n  \nWristbands will be created for every student to serve as a reminder to make positive choices. A resulting productive and harmonious school atmosphere will positively impact the greater community as students carry these modeled\, learned and practiced values into their homes\, neighborhoods\, places of work/higher education and beyond; and \nWhereAs\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion via zoom voted yes to recommend to the full Board passage and funding of the attached NPG. \nTherefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board approve the attached \nTaft Charter PTO NPG for $4\,800.00 and direct the treasurer to submit this NPG and \n  \nsupporting documentation to the City Clerk for funding tomorrow\, Thursday\, February 13\, 2025. \nEducation Committee Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Elie El-Bahr YES\, Heath Kline NO\, Shelly Schwartz NO\, and Steve Sommers YES \nSee Taft NPG (19 pages) included in supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (4) \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(25-016) Request for Mitigation Related to Street Racing  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action                                              (estimated time 5 minutes) \n  \nMOTION: The Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) recognizes that Governor Gavin Newsom has enacted new laws designed to clamp down on street racing and automotive sideshows. These laws primarily affect organized racing events and side shows. \nAB 1978 authorizes police officers to impound vehicles of cars and spectators at such events. \nAB 2186 extends to cars caught racing on private property or makeshift tracks\, like parking lots. \nAB 3085 enables authorities to later impound vehicles identified at street races\, even if the cars weren’t seized during the event.                                                                                                                                                AB 2807 clarifies what constitutes a ‘sideshow’ or ‘street takeover\,’ terms often used to describe these gatherings\, which can range from spontaneous racing to coordinated displays of car stunts. \n  \nHowever\, these laws will not solve general street racing on neighborhood streets as law enforcement cannot be everywhere all the time. Often street racing can involve several racers\, two racers or one racer. \n  \n(NTHTSA) The Risks Associated with Street Racing \nStreet racing is not merely a nuisance; it poses significant risks to public safety. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)\, street racing contributes to a notable percentage of traffic fatalities and injuries. The reckless behavior of participants often leads to accidents that can affect innocent bystanders\, making it a pressing issue for law enforcement and community leaders. \nIn addition to physical dangers\, street racing can disrupt the peace in residential neighborhoods. The noise generated by revving engines and screeching tires can disturb the tranquility of late-night hours\, leading to increased stress and anxiety among residents. This disruption is not just an inconvenience; it can have long-term effects on mental health and community cohesion. \n  \nIn Area 7 of the WHWCNC street racers have become a loud and dangerous problem. \nAt night\, cars and motorcycles race up and down Mulholland Drive and South Topanga Blvd. The cars\, with engines screaming at top speed and tires burning\, they can be heard all over the neighborhood all night long. The noise can be heard inside of homes that are blocks away. All night\, every night\, racers race down the street with the intention of making as much noise as possible and intentionally driving as fast as possible. We feel bad for the residents living on\, or closer to\, the streets. Often the racers hit and damage the cars of residents legally parked on Topanga Blvd. \n  \nTherefore\, we request the following mitigation be implemented by the Department of Transportation (LADOT)\, Caltrans\, LAPD\, CHP\, and Council District 3. \n  \n\n Gavin Newsom signed AB-645 into law and six cities in the state will receive speed cameras in their neighborhoods starting in 2024. Los Angeles is one of those cities. Speed cameras stop speeders as they are designed to photograph and generate speeding tickets that are then mailed to offenders and include a first-time warning\, fines beginning at $50 and subsequent costlier tickets sent to drivers through the mail without adding any points to the driver’s records nor impacting the driver’s insurance\n\n  \nThe WHWCNC requests a speed camera be installed in Woodland Hills on       Mulholland Drive and South Topanga Blvd. \n  \nThe WHWCNC also requests speed cameras be installed on other streets in       Woodland Hills where neighborhoods are negatively impacted by street racing. \n  \n\nAdvocacy groups such as “Street Racing Kills\,” focuses on educating young people about the significant risks associated with street racing. While the new laws offer a stronger framework for law enforcement\, prevention through education could more effectively deter youth from engaging in such perilous behavior. If we start teaching kids about these dangers early\, perhaps we can prevent more tragedies.\n\n  \nThe WHWCNC requests the Department of Motor Vehicles\, Recreation and Parks\, LAPD and LAUSD fund classes and programs that directly educate youth of the dangers of street racing. Those dangers include racer deaths\, accidental deaths caused by racers that may lead to imprisonment\, damage to streets\, damage to resident cars and homes\, lawsuits\, arrest and loss of driver license. \n  \nThe Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advises the following government agencies and departments of its findings and recommendations: \nCalifornia Department of Motor Vehicles \nCity of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks \nLos Angeles Police Department \nLos Angeles Unified School District \nLos Angeles Department of Transportation -LADOT \nCalifornia Highway Patrol \nCalifornia Department of Transportation – Caltrans – District 7 \nCouncil District 3 – Councilmember Bob Blumenfield \n  \nCommunity Services Committee Vote: Yes 3    No 0    Abstain 0         Absent 1 \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \nItem No. (5) \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(25-0017) Funding for a WHWCNC Booth at the 4th Annual Valley Asian & Pacific Islander Cultural Festival \n  \n       For discussion and possible action                                         (estimated time 5 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $250 from the WHWCNC 2024/2025 Budget-General Outreach\, to provide a WHWCN booth to participate on May 10\, 2025\, from 11AM to 5PM at the West Valley Warner Center Chamber of Commerce Community Benefit Foundation 4th Annual Valley Asian & Pacific Islander Cultural Festival celebrating the vast diversity from the Asian cultures that enhance the San Fernando Valley and the City of Los Angeles. \nThe event will highlight the cultures of Asia and the Pacific Islands focusing on expression through music\, dance\, food and children’s activities.

All members of the public are invited to learn basic skills to stay safe and be aware of potential threats before they become an imminent danger. The event will consist of an introduction to Krav Girl/ krav maga tactics\, as well as possible speakers including an officer from our local PD and/or the head of security at a local business.

The Public Safety Committee will meet shortly before the event to set up our WHWCNC booth in the location to signal visitors where we will be meeting.

LAFD Station 84 asked us to pass on to the public their acknowledgment of generosity and appreciated the many physical donations received to help victims of the recent fires. However\, Fire Station 84 told us they no longer have the capacity to accept and distribute more physical items. They want us to share their request that you not bring more items to the fire station and donate them to non-profits supporting fire victims who can receive them. In lieu of physical items\, they request monetary donations be given to non-profit organizations such as the LA Fire Foundation. They provided this QR code to facilitate your donations. \nAlso see https://recovery.lacounty.gov/donations/ donations for info from Los Angeles County on making physical and monetary donations. It mentions Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA.org)\, California Community Foundation\, American Red Cross\, and the Salvation Army. \nPlease pass these notes on to your community. \n  \n\nAREA REPORTS – deferred until next full Board Meeting on February 12\, 2025.\n\n  \n  \n\n Items for Full Board Discussion and Possible Action: \n\n  \n(Board) Item 1 (25 -004)  Treasurer Heath Kline \nNC Funding Program Policy 5.0 -Expenditures of up to $1\,000.00 of NC Funds in Declared Fire Emergencies \n  \nReport and possible action                                                                                   (approximately 5 minutes) \nPer NC Funding Policy 5.0 the NC President has the unilateral authority to spend or direct the spending of up to $1\,000.00 in board funds from the Outreach Budget category without the normal advance funding approval of the board for emergency services and or supplies within the parameters defined in section 2 of the policy. \n  \nThe NC president will report to the board on any such spending and how it was used in connection with the emergency and provide receipts and other appropriate documentation for this spending. Due to an exigent situation\, if this spending had to be made from the personal funds of a board member\, including the president\, the president can direct the board member to be reimbursed (with proper documentation submitted to the City Clerk) and is exempt from the normal board member reimbursement policies. See section 4 of the policy. \n  \nThe board will ratify any such spending by passing a BAC. If board member reimbursement(s) are required\, the board shall pass individual BAC(s) approving the reimbursements\, and the treasurer is directed to submit all required documentation to the City Clerk per section 7 of the policy. \n  \nSee NC Funding Policy 5.0 attached. \n  \n  \n  \n(Board) Item 2 (25 -005) Board President Dena Weiss and Treasurer Heath Kline \nOption for the WHWCNC to Approve Up To $7\,000.00 In Outreach Funding To Support Government Entities and Non Profits\, which are Providing Support To First Responders and Victims of Our Current Fire Declared Emergency \n  \nReport\, discussion and possible action by the Full Board if a quorum of the board is present or just the Governance Committee if not:                                                                (approximately 20 minutes) \n  \n  \nWhile our Woodland Hills community has been mercifully spared from the devastating wildfires ravaging other parts of our City of Los Angeles and the County Los Angeles\, many of our neighboring communities have not been as fortunate. Across the county\, families have lost their homes\, cherished possessions\, and beloved pets\, and tragically\, some have lost their lives. The scope of destruction in these communities is unprecedented\, with damage estimates in the billions and a recovery timeline that will stretch for years to come. \nAs a Neighborhood Council\, and a voice of our local community spared from this disaster\, we have both an opportunity and a moral imperative to join other NCs to support our fellow Angelenos in their crisis. Our position as a city-funded entity allows us to extend assistance to communities devastated by these fires to start their healing process\, demonstrating the strength of Los Angeles’s interconnected community network. \nTo the credit of the Office of the City Clerk\, which administers all spending for the 99 NCs across the city\, it recognizes the potential difference we can make. It has given NCs unprecedented special\, simplified\, streamlined spending procedures to follow if NC boards wish to allocate a portion of their Outreach Budgets to help fund government entities and non-profits supporting first responders and victims to begin the healing process. The following motions allow the WHWCNC to act per the Clerk’s special funding rules for providing fire-related disaster relief. \nMultiple Board members have suggested multiple deserving causes. Thank you to all of those members who have reached out with suggestions. Suggestions still have to conform to the City requirements and rules.  Some of those suggestions include the following: \nThe Public Safety Committee requested funding to local food distribution for those effected by the fires: \n– West Valley Food Pantry: $333. \n– New Friends Homeless Center: $333. \n– About My Father’s Business: $333. \nThe Homeless and Social  Justice Advocacy Committee requested additional funding for the West Valley Food Pantry during these challenging times\, up to $2\,000.00. \nOther Board members have emailed suggestions about other worthy local providers who are assisting fire victims such as local animal shelters\, which are overwhelmed with injured and displaced pets. \nIn consideration of all of the input received\,  the following motion is suggested to the Board: \nMotion: The WHWCNC will expend up to $7\,000 of its available FY-24-25 Outreach Budget\, as delineated as follows  to provide funding to the following known\, established and City approved non-profit organizations that are providing support and disaster relief to our first responders and victims in need specifically because of our current fire declared emergency: \nThe WHWNC Board directs the NC Treasurer to submit to the City Clerk the necessary BAC and supporting documentation (Contribution Payment Form\, Invoice\, etc. See supporting Doc email “Expenditures in Support of the Wildfire Emergency Relief Efforts” sent from Clerk.ncfunding@lacity.org sent January 13 attached) for approval and funding by check preferably (to save these organizations the merchant credit card discount fees) or NC credit card the following; \n  \n\n$1\,000 to the West Valley Food Pantry c/o its Fiscal Agent on file with the City Clerk earmarked for its Fire Victims Aid program.\n\n  \n\n$2\,000 to In Defense of Animals (IDA) with instructions for IDA to distribute our contribution between the West Valley Animal Shelter (WVAS) location of City of LA Dept. of Animal Services and the Large Animal Evacuation Center located at Pierce College.\n\nIDA is an established non-profit on file with the City Clerk that the Tarzana NC has used before to direct its donations to the WVAS because NCs cannot direct funding directly to other City entities like our City animal shelters.

It was not heard at our regularly scheduled January board meeting because the meeting had to be canceled due to the Fire Emergency. Hearing this item now will negate the need for another special meeting before our February meeting. \n  \nWoodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nPLUM Committee\, date December 19\, 2024  MOTION – Case: CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367 \n  \nAs pertaining to Case CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held three (3) in person or virtual zoom public meetings for review of the application filed by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC. \n  \nProject Description: The project is a New Mixed-Use Residential Apartment Complex over Commercial: \nThe Lot Size is 14\,484.9 feet. The applicant proposes a 54-unit (7) story building with 1st floor parking \narea and first floor 1\,249.8 SF commercial space with (1) floor of subterranean parking. \nThe project includes a (5) story 39 feet by 27 feet open interior courtyard with walkway surrounding the open space that is open to above. \nThe project will have per AB 1287 (6) very low-income apartments which allows the applicant to request from the City various bonuses\, waivers\, exemptions and incentives to maximize profit. \nThe lot is zoned for C1-1VLD Neighborhood Office Commercial with Very Low Density. \nThe project’s residential portion will provide (44) automobile parking spaces\, (60) long-term bicycle parking stalls and five (5) short-term bicycle parking stalls. \nThe open space is primarily located in a second-floor courtyard\, a roof top deck\, and on private balconies. \nThe project proposes grading and exporting up to 3\,365 cubic yards of earth to create a basement parking lot. \n  \nWhereas the developer is requesting the following Bonus\, Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives. \n  \n\nPursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15311\, Class 11\, and Section 15332\, Class 32\, an exemption from CEQA and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines\, Section 15300.2 applies.\n\n  \n\nPursuant to Section 12.22 A.25(g)(3) of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC)\, a Density Bonus for a project totaling 54 dwelling units (six (6) units as Restricted Affordable Housing Units for Very Low Income households and 48 market-rate units.\n\n  \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks a density bonus per AB 1287 (6) low income housing units and requesting lot area calculations to include ½ of the back alley to allow for a larger project. \n  \n\nadditional height from 30 feet to 85 feet 5 inches\, an approximate 160% increase\nincrease in Floor Area Ratio from 1 to 1 to 4.03 to 1\, an approximate 365% increase\nreduction of LAMC required parking from 89 spaces to 44 spaces\n\n  \nwith the following Incentives and Waivers: \n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a (FAR) floor area ratio of 4.03:1 instead of the permitted 1.0:1 per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 6.B.3;\n\n  \n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a height of 85 feet and 5 inches instead of the permitted 30 feet per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.e.1;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow 44 automobile parking spaces for the residential portion of the\n\ndevelopment instead of the required 89 spaces per the LAMC Code Section 12.21 A.4(a); \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific\n\nPlan lot coverage standard as required by Specific Plan Section 7.B.2 to allow a lot coverage of 88 percent instead of the permitted 60 percent; \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific\n\nPlan height setback standard as required by the Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.g to allow the building to exceed 45 feet in height without providing at least a 10 foot setback for each 10 foot increment above 45 feet; \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the compact parking stall standard as required by\n\nLAMC Section 12.21 A.5(c) to allow seven (7) compact parking stalls to be provided without \nfirst providing one standard parking stall per dwelling unit; \n  \n\nPursuant to Section 13B.4.2 of Chapter 1A of the LAMC and Section 9 of the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan\, Project Compliance to permit the construction of a mixed-use development comprising 54 dwelling units and 1\,250 square feet of commercial floor area and a sign.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, the WHWCNC PLUM Committee finds the proposed project vastly does not comply with the standard construction requirements of the City of Los Angeles and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan and for the following findings: \n  \nWhereas\, Parking. \n\nThe Applicant requests a reduction from 89 required parking spaces to 44 parking spaces and a waiver to allow (7) compact parking spaces without providing the required 54 standard parking spaces or (1) standard parking space per unit.\nThe car park has tandem parking\, which is problematic as there is no onsite parking attendant to move cars that could be blocked by another car.\nThe project appears to provide only (1) exterior parking space located at the back of the building.\nThe applicant does not address where the majority of the residents will park\, as Ventura Blvd. has metered parking and the project residents cannot park on side streets\, in adjacent business parking lots or on residential streets as this would cause a hardship for businesses and stakeholders.\nThe Applicant does not address Guest Parking.\nThe Project provides (25) two-bedroom units but does not provide (25) tandem parking spaces.\nThe lower parking ramp is 8’- 2” which may not provide headroom for trucks.\nDriveway Access – The driveway access for two-way traffic does not meet the (35) feet wide requirement.\nThe Applicant does not address required ingress and egress for the Fire Department.\nThe street access entry ramp = 19’- 0” therefore the alley should meet the same width requirements\n\n  \nLADOT has determined there does not need to be a traffic study as of August 2024. \nThe WHWCNC PLUM Committee requests LADOT to conduct a traffic study as the reduced parking will have an extremely negative effect on project residents\, adjacent businesses and single-family neighborhoods and also address required street entrances and exits for fire trucks and ambulances. \nWhereas\, the Applicant requests a Lot Size increase to 15\,691.3 sq. ft. when the ACTUAL Lot Size is \n14\, 484.9 sq. ft. \nThe applicant is requesting City Planning to allow the inclusion of ½ of the alley behind the project to be able to reach the requested 15\,691.3 s. ft. which allows the applicant to build a larger project than normally allowed and receive a greater density bonus. \n  \nWhereas\, the project can be built only if the City allows numerous off menu Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives which may cause unnecessary harm to the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks to take advantage of the density bonus per AB 1287 by providing (6) low-income housing units in order to vastly overbuild the site \n  \nThe applicant has made other various Categorical Exemption Findings that can be questioned as for example he states there are other high rise commercial/residential buildings in the area. \nThere is only one four story building in the area\, which is a commercial office building. \n  \nThe applicant does not provide any proof that the maximized design of the building and the site is “needed” “necessary” or “required” nor does the Applicant provide any proof that the design benefits or improves low-income housing concerns in the area or Los Angeles. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant is requesting an Environmental Categorical Exemption (CE) Class 32 CE (CP-7828). However\, the project is within five hundred (500) feet of the 101 Freeway and the applicant is proposing a roof top deck\, balconies and an open air five story courtyard where residents could be subjected to health risks from freeway pollution ultrafine particulate matter. Single family neighborhoods are located North and South of the project and will be subjected loss of privacy and noise pollution from the roof top deck. \n  \nWhereas\, the Project is located within five hundred feet of the 101Freeway. The project has (6) low-income units but the project also has (48) market value units. However\, the Applicant does not provide any indoor amenities found in other NEW market value projects in Woodland Hills. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant does not provide mitigation measures per the Los Angeles Public Health Report and City Zoning ZI No. 227 and Best Practice Mitigation Measures to Reduce Exposure to Road Pollution \n\nBuilding design measures:\nSite apartment units as far as possible from the source of air pollution.\nDouble-glaze all windows in the housing units to reduce exposure to air pollution.\nAvoid or limit the placement of balconies on the side of the building facing the freeway/high\n\nvolume roadway. \n\nDesign buildings with varying shapes and heights to help break up air pollution emission\n\nplumes\, increase air flow\, and help reduce pollutants such as particulates and noise. \n  \n\nSite-related measures:\nWhere possible\, erect a sound wall between the development and the freeway to help serve as a noise and air pollution barrier.\nPlant vegetation barriers between the freeway/high volume roadway and the housing site to\n\nhelp with pollution reduction. \n\nPlant additional trees surrounding the housing development to further mitigate air pollution.\n\n  \nWhereas the PLUM Committee finds the Applicant has also not provided mitigation measures for the following: \n  \nBalconies – The Applicant has defined the balconies as being part of the Open Space calculation. \nHowever\, balconies should not face the 101 freeway and should not be allowed on the sides of the building as the project is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. \nFurthermore\, the balconies cannot be counted as open space as the balconies have a roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is defined as Open Space and designed to be used as a recreational space for residents. \nThe roof top deck is open air and is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. The deck will expose all residents to freeway road pollution which is hazardous to the health of the residents. \nFurthermore\, the roof top deck cannot be counted as open space nor landscaped green space as there is mechanical equipment on the roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is open air and therefore noise coming from the deck cannot be mitigated. \nUnmitigated noise pollution such as loud parties\, loud conversations and loud music will affect the wellbeing of the neighbors and the property values of the surrounding single-family neighborhoods and businesses. \n  \nInterior Five Story Courtyard \n\nThe applicant defines the 39 x 27 feet FIVE STORY Inner Courtyard as Open Space. However\, this “open space” is in fact a FIVE STORY AIR SPACE which could be hazardous to residents\, children and pets as they could fall as far as five stories.\nThis air space is also open to the roof top deck.\nThe rooftop deck is open to the lower courtyard but does not provide a five (5) feet stepped back buffer with two (2) railings.\nA 42-inch tall railing is not tall enough as even a child can climb over the railing and fall.\nAll apartment doors and windows open onto this small interior (5) story air space that is 39 feet wide by 27 feet deep. This is a potential invasion of privacy and exposes residents\, including children\, to all smells emanating from all apartments including possible cigarette smoke\, marijuana smoke\, toxic fumes and all varieties of noise pollution and sound echo effect coming from other residents’ apartments.\nThe five-story courtyard/air shaft design is reminiscent of 1800’s New York tenement inner courtyard double dumbbell air shafts that were deemed illegal and a health hazard for residents.\nThe small five story “courtyard” air space will not allow for proper air circulation\, air quality and proper distribution of sun light.\nThe Applicant cannot count the second story courtyard as open space nor landscaped greenspace\, as the area is 90% hardscape.\n\n  \nTherefore\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee for the findings stated herein\, will not support the application and plans submitted by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC \, and recommend non-support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center NeighborhoodCouncil(WHWCNC) \n  \nFurthermore\, all plans that have been presented either in person or electronically to the PLUM Committee and the Board of the WHWCNC shall be submitted to Planning as a final project plan application submittal. \n  \n\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC. Any modifications to the elevation(s)/ architecture of any other changes that are no longer in substantial conformance will be presented first to the WHWCNC before submitting them to City Planning.\n\n  \n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendation. \n  \nVote to not support the project: Aye: 6         Nay: 0           Abstain: 0 \n  \nSee Attached 21-page PLUM Report & stakeholder letter in supporting documents attachment. \n  \nFull Board Roll call vote \n  \n  \nGOVERNANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEMS \n  \n  \nItem 4 (25 -007) Review by Governance Committee of qualifications for Juliet Ladines Schwarz to apply for the Area 7 Alternate position.

Ventura Blvd.\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nA project that includes off-menu requests\, as outlined in LAMC §12.22 A.25\, is reviewed by City Planning through a discretionary review process. These projects require CEQA analysis and are reviewed by the City Planning Commission (CPC). \nThese determinations may not be appealed after the CPC acts. \n  \nMotion \nAs pertaining to Case CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held three (3) in person or virtual zoom public meetings for review of the application filed by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC. \n  \nProject Description: \nThe project is a New Mixed-Use Residential Apartment Complex over Commercial: \nThe Lot Size is 14\,484.9 feet. The applicant proposes a 54-unit (7) story building with 1st floor parking area and first floor 1\,249.8 SF commercial space with (1) floor of subterranean parking. \n  \nThe project includes a (5) story 39 feet by 27 feet open interior courtyard with walkway surrounding the open space that is open to above. \nThe project will have per AB 1287 (6) very low-income apartments which allows the applicant to request from the City various bonuses\, waivers\, exemptions and incentives to maximize profit. \nThe lot is zoned for C1-1VLD Neighborhood Office Commercial with Very Low Density.\nThe project’s residential portion will provide (44) automobile parking spaces\, (60) long-term bicycle parking stalls and five (5) short-term bicycle parking stalls. \n  \nThe open space is primarily located in a second-floor courtyard\, a roof top deck\, and on private balconies. \nThe project proposes grading and exporting up to 3\,365 cubic yards of earth to create a basement parking lot. \n  \nWhereas the developer is requesting the following Bonus\, Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives. \n  \n\nPursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15311\, Class 11\, and Section 15332\, Class 32\, an exemption from CEQA and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines\, Section 15300.2 applies.\nPursuant to Section 12.22 A.25(g)(3) of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC)\, a Density Bonus for a project totaling 54 dwelling units (six (6) units as Restricted Affordable Housing Units for Very Low-Income households and 48 market-rate units.\n\nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks a density bonus per AB 1287 (6) low income housing units and requests lot area calculations to include 1⁄2 of the back alley to allow for a larger project. \n  \n\nadditional height from 30 feet to 85 feet 5 inches\, an approximate 160% increase\nincrease in Floor Area Ratio from 1 to 1 to 4.03 to 1\, an approximate 365% increase\nreduction of LAMC required parking from 89 spaces to 44 spaces\n\n  \nwith the following Incentives and Waivers: \n  \n\n Off-Menu Incentive to allow a (FAR) floor area ratio of 4.03:1 instead of the permitted 1.0:1 per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 6.B.3;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a height of 85 feet and 5 inches instead of the permitted 30 feet per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.e.1;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow 44 automobile parking spaces for the residential portion of the development instead of the required 89 spaces per the LAMC Code Section 12.21 A.4(a);\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan lot coverage standard as required by Specific Plan Section 7.B.2 to allow a lot coverage of 88 percent instead of the permitted 60 percent;\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan height setback standard as required by the Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.g to allow the building to exceed 45 feet in height without providing at least a 10 foot setback for each 10 foot increment above 45 feet;\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the compact parking stall standard as required by LAMC Section 12.21 A.5(c) to allow seven (7) compact parking stalls to be provided without first providing one standard parking stall per dwelling unit;\n\n  \n\nPursuant to Section 13B.4.2 of Chapter 1A of the LAMC and Section 9 of the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan\, Project Compliance to permit the construction of a mixed-use development comprising 54 dwelling units and 1\,250 square feet of commercial floor area and a sign.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, the WHWCNC PLUM Committee finds the proposed project vastly does not comply with the standard construction requirements of the City of Los Angeles and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan and for the following findings: \n  \nWhereas\, Parking. \n  \n\nThe Applicant requests a reduction from 89 required parking spaces to 44 parking spaces and a waiver to allow (7) compact parking spaces without providing the required 54 standard parking spaces or (1) standard parking space per unit.\nThe car park has tandem parking\, which is problematic as there is no onsite parking attendant to move cars that could be blocked by another car.\nThe project appears to provide only (1) exterior parking space located at the back of the building.\nThe applicant does not address where the majority of the residents will park\, as Ventura Blvd. has metered parking and the project residents cannot park on side streets\, in adjacent business parking lots or on residential streets as this would cause a hardship for businesses and stakeholders.\nThe Applicant does not address Guest Parking.\nThe Project provides (25) two-bedroom units but does not provide (25) tandem parking spaces.\nThe lower parking ramp is 8’- 2” which may not provide headroom for trucks.\nDriveway Access – The driveway access for two-way traffic does not meet the (35) feet wide requirement.\nThe Applicant does not address required ingress and egress for the Fire Department.\nThe street access entry ramp = 19’- 0” therefore the alley should meet the same width requirements\n\n  \nLADOT has determined there does not need to be a traffic study as of August 2024. \nThe WHWCNC PLUM Committee requests LADOT to conduct a traffic study as the reduced parking will have an extremely negative effect on project residents\, adjacent businesses and single-family neighborhoods. \n  \nWhereas\, the Applicant requests a Lot Size increase to 15\,691.3 sq. ft. when the ACTUAL Lot Size is\n14\, 484.9 sq. ft. \nThe applicant is requesting City Planning to allow the inclusion of 1⁄2 of the alley behind the project to be able to reach the requested 15\,691.3 s. ft. which allows the applicant to build a larger project than normally allowed and receive a greater density bonus. \n  \nWhereas\, the project can be built only if the City allows numerous off menu Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives which may cause unnecessary harm to the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. \n \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks to take advantage of the density bonus per AB 1287 by providing (6) low-income housing units in order to vastly overbuild the site \n  \nThe applicant has made other various Categorical Exemption Findings that can be questioned as for example he states there are other high rise commercial/residential buildings in the area. \nThere is only one four story building in the area\, which is a commercial office building. \nThe applicant does not provide any proof that the maximized design of the building and the site is “needed” “necessary” or “required” nor does the Applicant provide any proof that the design benefits or improves low-income housing concerns in the area or Los Angeles. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant is requesting an Environmental Categorical Exemption (CE) Class 32 CE (CP-7828). However\, the project is within five hundred (500) feet of the 101 Freeway and the applicant is proposing a roof top deck\, balconies and an open air five story courtyard where residents could be subjected to health risks from freeway pollution ultrafine particulate matter. Single family neighborhoods are located North and South of the project and will be subjected loss of privacy and noise pollution from the roof top deck. \n  \nWhereas\, the Project is located within five hundred feet of the 101Freeway. The project has (6) low- income units but the project also has (48) market value units. However\, the Applicant does not provide any indoor amenities found in other NEW market value projects in Woodland Hills. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant does not provide mitigation measures per the Los Angeles Public Health Report and City Zoning ZI No. 227 and Best Practice Mitigation Measures to Reduce Exposure to Road Pollution \n\nBuilding design measures:\nSite apartment units as far as possible from the source of air pollution.\nb. Double-glaze all windows in the housing units to reduce exposure to air pollution.\nc. Avoid or limit the placement of balconies on the side of the building facing the freeway/high volume roadway.\ng. Design buildings with varying shapes and heights to help break up air pollution emission plumes\, increase air flow\, and help reduce pollutants such as particulates and noise.\n\n  \n\nSite-related measures:\nWhere possible\, erect a sound wall between the development and the freeway to help serve as a noise and air pollution barrier.\nb. Plant vegetation barriers between the freeway/high volume roadway and the housing site to help with pollution reduction.\nc. Plant additional trees surrounding the housing development to further mitigate air pollution.\n\n  \nWhereas the PLUM Committee finds the Applicant has also not provided mitigation measures for the following: \n  \nBalconies – The Applicant has defined the balconies as being part of the Open Space calculation.\nHowever\, balconies should not face the 101 freeway and should not be allowed on the sides of the building as the project is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway.\nFurthermore\, the balconies cannot be counted as open space as the balconies have a roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is defined as Open Space and designed to be used as a recreational space for residents. The roof top deck is open air and is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. The deck will expose all residents to freeway road pollution which is hazardous to the health of the residents.\nFurthermore\, the roof top deck cannot be counted as open space nor landscaped green space as there is mechanical equipment on the roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is open air and therefore noise coming from the deck cannot be mitigated. Unmitigated noise pollution such as loud parties\, loud conversations and loud music will affect the wellbeing of the neighbors and the property values of the surrounding single-family neighborhoods and businesses. \n  \nInterior Five Story Courtyard \n\nThe applicant defines the 39 x 27 feet FIVE STORY Inner Courtyard as Open Space. However\, this “open space” is in fact a FIVE STORY AIR SPACE which could be hazardous to residents\, children and pets as they could fall as far as five stories.\nThis air space is also open to the roof top deck.\nThe rooftop deck is open to the lower courtyard but does not provide five (5) feet stepped back buffer with two (2) railings.\nA 42-inch-tall railing is not tall enough as even a child can climb over the railing and fall.\nAll apartment doors and windows open onto this small interior (5) story air space that is 39 feet wide by 27 feet deep. This is a potential invasion of privacy and exposes residents\, including children\, to all smells emanating from all apartments including possible cigarette smoke\, marijuana smoke\, toxic fumes and all varieties of noise pollution and sound echo effect coming from other residents’ apartments.\nThe five-story courtyard/air shaft design is reminiscent of 1800’s New York tenement inner courtyard double dumbbell air shafts that were deemed illegal and a health hazard for residents.\n\n  \n\nThe small five story “courtyard” air space will not allow for proper air circulation\, air quality and proper distribution of sun light.\nThe Applicant cannot count the second story courtyard as open space nor landscaped greenspace\, as the area is 90% hardscape.\n\n  \nTherefore\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee for the findings stated herein\, will not support the application and plans submitted by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC \, and recommend non-support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) \n  \nFurthermore\, all plans that have been presented either in person or electronically to the PLUM Committee and the Board of the WHWCNC shall be submitted to Planning as a final project plan application submittal. \n  \n\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC. Any modifications to the elevation(s)/ architecture of any other changes that are no longer in substantial conformance will be presented first to the WHWCNC before submitting them to City Planning.\n\n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendation. \nPLUM Vote: Aye: 6 Nay: 0 Abstain: 0 Absent: 2 \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (3)  \nJayce Baron\, Chair of Homeless and Social Justice Advocacy Committee\n(25 -003) Motion to  Request $250 to create 45 “Community Recourse Cards” for our Unhoused neighbors \n  \nFor discussion and action:                                                              (estimated time 10 minutes) \n  \nThe HSJAC requests $250 to create 450  “Community Recourse Cards” for our Unhoused neighbors.

The Education Committee voted to approve and is requesting funding of $3\,000 toward their cost of $4\,565 plus incidental travel costs to provide supplemental science education from Discovery Cube\, an outside vendor. These on-campus STEM workshops are scheduled annually for a school day TBD in May 2024\, and will happen regardless of how much funding the Neighborhood Council chooses to grant (see attached NPG & supporting documentation). \nMitra Hormozian\, PTO Vice President provided the committee a detailed presentation of the elements of the program\, including an invoice from the vendor costing $11.00 per student for curriculum differentiated by grade level. Discovery Cube is the vendor\, delivering hands-on science education for the past 35 years in STEM proficiency\, early childhood education\, healthy living\, and environmental stewardship. Discovery Cube’s education teams transform the typical teacher-centered classroom by executing workshops and assemblies that require students to actively engage in hands-on experiences and discovery to find solutions to everyday challenges. These real-world applications give learners an opportunity to identify science as a solution and as a force for good in their communities. This STEM program serves all 415 Calabash students: TK through 5th grade students including students with special educational needs; and\, \nUpon support of this grant request\, Mitra Hormozian has conveyed that the PTO has offered NC recognition in their parental email blasts and the WHWC Neighborhood Council free space and an outreach table (we can bring our pop-up 10×10 booth setup – NC volunteers needed) at their Spring Carnival Saturday April 13\, 2024\, at the LDS Church off Mulholland (4501 Deseret Dr. WH\, Ca 91364) from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The WHWC Neighborhood Council has granted this request to the Calabash PTO in the past; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion via Zoom at a properly noticed virtual meeting under SB-411 voted to recommend to the full Board passage and funding of the attached NPG; and\, \nTHEREFORE\, The Education Committee\, moves-requests that the WHWCNC full board (1.) Approve the attached Calabash PTO NPG for $3000.00 and direct the treasurer to submit the NPG and supporting documentation to the City Clerk for funding; and (2.) Rally our Area-7 Board Members\, Outreach and Community Services Committees to help provide table items and booth support at the April 13th event and encourage many of our board members to sign up for volunteer time. \nYES: Julie Waltrip\, Heath Kline\, Shelly Schwartz\, Allan Biggins.

The $5\,000 will be taken from Outreach line item in the revised budget. The Community Outreach Committee voted in favor on February 26\, 2024. \nBecause of a daily maximum charge of $1\,000 on the WHWCNC credit card\, and because each item is custom manufactured to order\, which may result in multiple items shipping on the same date and/or all different dates\, which may result in the need for the treasurer to obtain temporary daily spending limit increase(s) from the City Clerk.

DONE has informed the WHWCNC that our current annual Zoom license is up for renewal in April\, and going forward DONE will no longer cover this cost for NCs. \nWith the passage SB-411\, NCs once again have the option to meet 100% remotely and invite public participation using Zoom (that was quite effective for this NC during the COVID health emergency) and NCs have options\, with restrictions\, under SB-411and AB-2449 to conduct hybrid-remote and in person meetings with public participation using Zoom\, that this NC has voted to do\, and our full board has done using borrowed equipment at a successful test in December. Recently committees of the NC have conducted successful 100% remote meeting using our Zoom license. \nPrior to COVID the WHWCNC has occasions to have multiple committees meet at the same time in person. However\, had scheduling difficulties and conflicts during COVID with only one Zoom licensee to share-use. Zoom has also been used by board members to carry out their collaborative implementation duties efficiently. \nTHEREFORE\, the NC treasurer is directed to (a.) Renew the NC’s expiring Zoom license at an annual cost of $200.00; and (b.) obtain a second Zoom License at an annual cost of $200.00 through DONE. The treasurer is directed to complete any necessary documentation with the City Clerk and DONE to facilitate the transfer of NC funds to DONE to cover these annual Zoom license costs. \nThese reoccurring NC operating expenses are to be expensed under the Office/Operation Expenditures [OOE] budget category. The treasurer is directed to create a new Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS budget line under OEE \nThe governance committee passed this motion unanimously. [5 Yes]. \nYes: Weiss\, Rosen\, Kline\, DiBiase\, Patterson.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (8) \nHeath Kline\, Treasurer \n(24-034) Budget Reallocation Motion to support new funding approved in Agenda items 3-7 (24-029 through 24-033) above \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \n  \nTo facilitate the spending authorized in the proceeding March motions Items 2-7 (24-029 through 24-033) increases are required to the Outreach and Neighborhood Purpose Grant [NPG] Budget Categories\, that can come from unspent funds available in the Community Improvement Project [CIP] Budget Category. \n  \nTherefore\, the Treasurer is directed to (a.) decrease the CIP Budget Category from $4\,000 to $3\,000 a change of ($1\,000.00); and (b.) increase the NPG Budget Category from $7\,700 to $7\,800 a change of $100.00; and (c.) increase the Outreach Budget Bategory from $16\,050 to $16\,950 a change of $900.00. \n  \nIn addition\, the Treasurer is directed to make the follow changes within Budget Categories: \n  \nIn the Office/Operational Expenditures [OOE] Budget Category (a) decrease by ($400.00) the budget line Email and Web Hosting and Support changing it from 3\,000.00 to 2\,600.00; and (b.) create a new budget line Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS; and (c.) provide it with a budget of $400.00. \n  \nThe treasurer should make the following changes of importance to our NC’s internal budget and expense tracking\, (but not the City Clerk who only recognizes budget line details in categories other than OEE when a BAC is submitted): \n  \nIn the NPG Budget Category give a $3\,000 budget for the Friends of Calabash NPG budget line. \n  \nIn the CIP Budget Category set the Education Project budget line to $0 (The Education Committee has no plans for a CIP this FY.) \n  \nIn the OUTREACH Budget Category give the necessary budget line funding to the March expenditures; (a.) Minuteman Press Rack Cards $275\, (b.) 4Imprint $5\,000\, (c.)T-Shirt Guy $2\,500 and change the previous existing budget line details as follows; (d.) Social Media $0\, (e.)Warner Center News $0\, (f) Website Hosting $19.99\, Website Webmaster $0\, General Outreach $174.01. \n  \nThe Board approves and authorizes all the budget changes outlined above and directs the treasurer to file this updated budget with the City Clerk\, as required\, and use this updated budget going forward. \n  \nThe Board and public can see all the above changes\, and March proposed spending motions (shown in blue)\, as well as all our YTD spending activities on the “Draft Reallocation Budget MOTION  3/13/24 Item 8 (24-034)” spread sheet PDF document included in the March support documents.                           \n  \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (9) \nDena Weiss\, Chair of Governance \n(24-035) Motion to Approve Changes to Bylaws \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                              (20 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve updates and revisions to Bylaws for the WHWCNC.
