Calvert Street\, Woodland Hills CA 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                 (10 minutes) \n  \nThe applicant is proposing to subdivide an RA-1 zoned lot into 2 lots  creating a flag lot on the rear of the property.  Applicant is also requesting a Zoning Administrator adjustment regarding under width access stem at the midpoint of the rear lot. \n  \nMOTION \nAs pertaining to Cases AA-2023-6519-PMLA and ZA-2023-6534-ZAA\, having held 1 public \nPLUM in person meeting for the application to permit subdivision of the parcel at 22840 \nCalvert St. Woodland Hills\, into two lots\, creating a flag lot in the rear\, in an RA-1 zone\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment to allow 20 ft. lot width\, at the midpoint of the proposed rear lot\, in lieu of the required 70 ft. minimum lot width\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, based on the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, the proposed lot split does not involve a parcel landlocked by topography; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, shows 2 lots conforming to zoning regulations for minimum area.  However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant intends to construct two (2) single family dwellings\, totaling 10\,720 sqft. on the property; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the            potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres  RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots\, hidden from the street\, tend to promote neighborhood disturbances and criminal activity; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant presented no justification that will allow the Zoning Administrator to take away rights from adjacent property owners without rezoning the property\, and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, especially on the three properties adjoining the project site\, and the immediate neighborhood over stressed by 3 existing pre-2006 flag lots within 500 feet of the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating another nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\, \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility \nCommittee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 22840 Calvert Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width \nnonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the 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 its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications presented to the WHWCNC Board on 1-10-2024. \n  \nVote at PLUM Committee: \nMotion: Henry Rice\, Second Joyce Fletcher: Aye 7\, Nay zero\, Abstain one. \n  \nSee supporting document                                                                                                       Roll Call Vote \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Joyce Fletcher \n(24-007) Funding Request – WHWCNC Outreach/Promotional Items \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                   (5 minutes) \nMotion for the board to approve funding up to $2\,500.00 from the 2023-2024 Budget – Community Services \nCommittee fund ($1\,000.00) and the General Outreach fund ($1\,500.00) for the purchase of outreach promotional \nitems for use at various WHWCNC events. At this time the WHWCNC has depleted its supply of outreach promotional items. \nThe next major event will be the Grateful Hearts event held on April 6\, 2024 at Warner Park.

The event is free and open to all. Many local agencies will be present. Families of students from all of Woodland Hills neighboring schools (elementary to high school) in LAUSD’s Region North are invited to attend. A mix of both Spanish and English-speaking families are expected. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion over a couple meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. \nTherefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also with their vote\, please say whether or not you will be able to come as a volunteer to work a shift at the booth that day. The Outreach Committee would need to provide items to pass out at the booth as well. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nSee flyer in supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (10) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-010) Motion to Approve the training credential request for Stakeholder Allan Biggins \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas The Education & Youth Committee appointed Allan Biggins to Stakeholder status on the Education Committee by unanimous vote in November. Then in December\, he was unanimously vetted and determined to be qualified and eligible to be seated to the Area 5 Alternate position at the Governance Committee meeting. Stakeholder and soon-to-be board member Allan Biggins needs to be given his login and password credentials to access his required training so that he can receive his voting privileges with no more delay. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving Allan Biggins’ invaluable input in many discussions over several meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also welcome him to the board as soon as possible. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (11) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-011) Motion to Approve Remote Committee Meetings \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                  (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas\, the Education and Youth Committee has discovered that having the option to meet remotely via Zoom could increase both attendance and productivity. Furthermore\, Zoom allows for recording of the committee meeting to distribute/post it as public record. Since committee members already have all the equipment needed to conduct Zoom meetings on their personal devices\, then all that’s needed are login credentials for Zoom. \nOur Education Committee members\, our stakeholders and our grant applicants subscribe to a 9-month school calendar\, so during school holidays and break times\, we especially want to meet virtually to make quorum and maximize the productivity of the committee’s projects despite schools being closed. Then\, while school is in session\, many of our committee participants are educators who taught students all day with little bandwidth leftover to come to an in-person meeting during the weeknights and would be much more inclined to join our meeting via zoom. \nTogether\, we discovered with December’s full board meeting that having the option to meet hybrid enabled our grant applicant to present her NPG virtually via Zoom despite being unable to attend the meeting in person. Her NPG was successfully funded and paid within 1 week of her online appearance to the physical board. \nThe Education Committee’s hope is that the full board’s passage of this motion could pave the way for each chair to gather their committee either in person\, hybrid or virtually depending on the needs of their committee at the time. With your Yes vote\, you are giving committee chairs the OPTION to meet virtually via Zoom right away. This benefits not only the Education Committee but also all other committees of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. Whereas\, The Education Committee\, after discussions already voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board approve this motion. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote \nJulie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Tracey Rosen\, Chair \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                 (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Julian Tu\, Paul Lawler\, Peter Haber\, Masha Dowell \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen\, Harout Z.

and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project adheres to all of the requirements of the Downtown District of the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan without requesting variances or exemptions except those granted under State laws; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the building will provide 276 residential units\, with at least 21 units offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates set by the State\, as well as 4\,045 SF of commercial space as required in a mixed-use structure in the WC Downtown District;

\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that for the findings and recommendations stated herein\, that application and plans submitted by Toll Brothers for its application for a mixed-use\, VLI residential building at 6464 Canoga Avenue in Warner Center receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC). \n  \nWe also propose 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 on November 8\, 2023. \n  \nSee posted report                                                                                                                              Roll Call Vote  \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPLUM\, Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Chairs \n(23-073) Toll Brothers Apartment Development \n6464 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                              (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion related to a specific request for the installation of a dog park / dog bathroom area to be included in the proposed project\, Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Avenue Woodland Hills 91367 as the development allows residents to have dogs. \n  \nRE: Letter per Community Dog Park / Dog Bathroom Area \nToll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 \nThe Los Angeles Development Review Process provides an overview of the entire development process\, describes what circumstances will trigger a particular review process\, and provides the chronological processes that must be completed before proceeding to further reviews. \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council provides recommendations related to the City of Los Angeles policies\, standards\, and regulations on land use\, property development and construction review which are designed to help ensure the health\, safety\, and welfare of its citizens\, while protecting the rights and privileges of property owners. \nAt certain times the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council may feel the need to weigh in on a particular component within a development in an effort to better serve the health\, safety and welfare of its citizens. \nTherefore\, as pertaining to the installation of a dog park / pet bathroom area at development Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367\, a new mixed use 8 story building at the corner of Canoga Ave. and Victory Blvd. in the Downtown District of Warner Center with 276 residential units and 4\,045 sf of retail space with 27 or 28 units) offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates which are set by the State. \nWhereas\, the project will provide amenities including Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS)\, 11\,679 SF (15% of site area) as required. And the project proposes 11\,940 SF—mostly along Victory Blvd and a meandering walkway park-let along Canoga Ave. Two large furnished outdoor patios will be provided for resident use only\, and \nWhereas\, the developer plans to provide a dog washing station for resident use and the developer also plans to allow resident dogs to use the Victory Blvd. public right of way located in front of the dog washing station for use by resident dogs\, as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, this public right of way is not fenced and therefore this could be a hazard to cars and both dogs and residents who may try to use it as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, as the LA DOT has future plans to widen Victory Blvd. and will use the right of way for street widening\, and \nWhereas\, Victory Blvd. is a busy street with no fences\, and fencing could provide a danger to a car and driver should an automobile accident occur\, and \nWhereas\, the public right of way is generally not an appropriate location for a dog bathroom area as it would be dangerous for animals and residents\, and \nWhereas\, establishing a specified safe dog park/ dog bathroom area also works to reduce pet waste issues in a community by centralizing dog deposits in one designated area\, which is a win for everyone. \nTherefore\, the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends the following: \n\na)     The developer provides an enclosed dog bathroom area on the project’s Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS) as the project allows residents to have dogs.\nb)      The developer identifies an area situated on the southeast side of the project and/or preferably towards the back of the community easily accessible to all residents. Dog parks / dog bathroom areas do not necessarily have to be large nor located on perfectly flat areas and can occupy a piece of land in the community that is not suitable for other uses due to a slope or rough terrain.\nd)      Use of decomposed granite could be used as it is extremely durable\, requires minimal upkeep and is more environmentally friendly.\n\nSpecially designed artificial turfs for pet bathroom areas are also available. \n  \nWHEREAS the above letter is concurrent with the PLUM Committee recommendation for the proposed project: \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the statements stated herein\, recommends that this PLUM Letter regarding a dog park/pet bathroom area located at Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 receive approval of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends 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 its subsequent supporting recommendation. \n  \nRoll Call Vote  \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Chris Waddy and Tracey Rosen\, Co-Chairs \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                             (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Paul Lawler \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Julie Waltrip\, Theresa Campbell \nArea 6 –Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Lillian / Joyce Fletcher \nAdjournment of Meeting \n  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held in person on December 13\, 2023\, once more at the Firestation # 84\,  unless otherwise indicated.

The agreement with the requirements attached must be submitted to the Department of City Planning for approval before being recorded; and\, \n21)       The applicant shall provide an ABC compliant barrier around the outside patio to separate the patio from persons in the parking lot. \n  \nWHEREAS the above conditions follow the proposed requirements for the current Restaurant Beverage Program. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the statements stated herein\, recommends that this PLUM Motion regarding the CUB Conditional Use Permit application submitted on behalf of restaurant Pascal Patisserie located at 21040-C Victory Blvd – Unit 40C\, receive support of the Board of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nFURTHER\, the 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 its subsequent recommendation to support this application as presented on October 11\, 2023 \n  \nSee posted  Support document                                                                                   Roll Call Vote  \n  \nItem No. 4 \nPLUM\, Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Chairs \n(23-061) AA-2023-2925-PMLA; ZA-2023-2926-ZAA; ENV-2023-2927-CE \n23139 Collins Street\, Woodland Hills CA 91367 \nFor discussion and action:                                                                                         (10 minutes) \n  \nThe applicant is proposing to subdivide an RA-1 zoned lot into 2 lots  creating a flag lot on the rear of the property.  Applicant is also requesting a Zoning Administrator adjustment regarding under width access stem at the midpoint of the rear lot. \n  \nMOTION \nAs pertaining to Cases AA-2023-2925-PMLA and ZA-2023-2926-ZAA\, having held 1 public PLUM in person meeting for the application to permit subdivision of the parcel at 23139 Collins St. Woodland Hills\, into two lots\, creating a flag lot in the rear\, in an RA-1 zone\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment to allow 20 ft. lot width\, at the midpoint of the proposed rear lot\, in lieu of the required 70 ft. minimum lot width\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \n\nWHEREAS\, based on the Preliminary Parcel Map\, dated 4/20/23\, provided by the applicant as part of the application\, the proposed lot split does not involve a parcel landlocked by topography; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Preliminary Parcel Map\, dated 4/20/23\, provided by the applicant as part of the application\, shows 2 lots conforming to zoning regulations for square footage. However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications\, and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, and especially on the five properties adjoining the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating an nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, a title search for the property reveals a Grant Deed that restricts\n\nfurther subdivision of the property without written permission of the Grantors; and\, \n\nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 23139 Collins Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width nonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the 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 its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications as presented to the WHWCNC Board on Oct. 11\, 2023. \n  \nItem No. 5 \n  \nPublic Safety and Transportation\, Rachel Tabak\, Chair \n(23-062) Motion to Support Recommendations Proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nTraffic safety has long been a concern on State Highway 27 / Topanga Canyon Blvd.  While traffic studies and piecemeal safety improvements have been proposed and/or implemented by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Warner Center Neighborhood Protection Plan Committee (a subcommittee of the Warner Center 2035 Plan Implementation Board)\, many of proposals/implementation pause at Topanga Canyon Blvd. because it falls under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). \n  \nCouncilmember Blumenfield’s Office – specifically the Councilmember’s Legislative Director Jeff Jacobberger\, and Woodland Hills Field Deputy/Land Use Planning Deputy Seth Samuels – have been working with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, State Senator Henry Stern’s Office\, and State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel’s Office to coordinate a meeting with Caltrans to review and (hopefully) implement the proposed traffic safety improvements on Topanga Canyon Blvd. \n  \nWE\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, THEREFORE MOVE to bolster the following recommendations proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans: \n  \nGeneral Requests: \n\nReassess the need for\, and hours of\, peak hour lanes.\n\n\n\n\nPeak-hour lanes in both directions in both AM and PM? Do they need to run from 7a-10a and then again from 3p-7p? Do we need them on Saturdays? If parking was allowed from 9a-4p (instead of 10a-3p) and on Saturdays\, would that help the businesses on Topanga Canyon Blvd? Caltrans and/or LADOT should have traffic counts to help make this determination.\n\n\n\n\nChange the parking time limit from 1 hour to 2 hours.\n\n\n\n\n1 hour is way too short. It discourages people from parking there; less people parking means that the curb lane becomes a raceway even during the non-peak hours.\n\n\n\n\nUpgrade all curb ramps to fully ADA-compliant ramps; and repair all broken sidewalks\nPlant lots of street trees\n\n\n\n\nThere is a need to reassess the species of trees that are planted in the public right-of-way\n\n\n\n\nRelocate Metro Line 150 and LADOT bus stops as needed.\nTaking TCB Out of the State Highway Network (at least a portion of it)\n\nLocation-Specific Requests: \n\nat Sherman Way: There is a short gap in the Sherman Way bike lanes at Topanga Canyon Blvd.\nat Gault: signalize the crosswalk at OLV Catholic Church and potentially install a mid-block refuge island.\nat Hart/Bell Creek: the City’s long-range plan calls for creating biking/walk paths on all our waterways\, including Bell Creek\, so it may make sense to add a signalized ped/bike crossing.\nat Vanowen: it does not look like the sidewalk on the west side of TCB alongside the AT&T Building is ADA-compliant.\n\n\n\n\nGet an access agreement from AT&T if needed and create a minimum 5 foot-wide sidewalk along this section.\n\n\n\n\nb/w Oxnard St. / Burbank Blvd.: in the southbound direction (at least on weekends)\, people race down the curb peak hour lane from Oxnard\, and then have to cut in because there are always cars parked once you get closer to Burbank.\n\nRoll Call Vote  \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \n(23-063)  Motion to approve $2\,000 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for the West Valley Food Pantry  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $2.000 for a Neighborhood Purpose grant for the West Valley Food Pantry .  The West Valley Food Pantry currently feeds approximately 700 families a week. Due to inflationary costs of food\, housing\, utilities\, medication\, and numerous other expenses\, its numbers are on the rise. As it endeavors to feed the hungry in our community\, it has asked the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council for financial support to help it do just that. The money received from this grant would go directly to the purchase of food and necessities for its seniors\, families with school age children\, and the homeless. The funding will come from the NPG line item as approved by the board in the 2023-2023 Administrative Packet. \nFor further information see: \n  \nhttps://www.westvalleyfoodpantry.org The West Valley Food Pantry works to end hunger in the San Fernando Valley.

The program currently serves over 900 students. The Foundation provides college students with direct food supplies\, housing support\, as well as other resources such as scholarships as needed by individual students. The foundation is assisting the Brahma Bodega as it provides a store shopping experience for its students within the campus bodega. Students are welcome to shop and take basic goods such as prepared meals\, snacks\, and beverages. Students are treated with dignity and respect when shopping at the bodega. It is requesting a donation to the general fund for the benefit of the students in need. See https://www.lapc.edu.

The presenter does a great job of demonstrating how the Meeting Owl effectively covers a large number of in person meeting attendees engaged active discussions. The presenter also shows how the Meeting Owl can be put in “Presenter Mode” to stay focused on and track a single presenter\, even as they move around the room. Next the presenter shows how you can set up a [variable size] “Ignore Zone” so the Owls won’t pick up video and sound from an area in the room [in the case of a full board meeting the public audience]. In the last two minutes of the video the presenter articulately talks about how the Owl delivers a simple but excellent hybrid experience to those participating in-person and those participating remotely over Zoom delivering equity access to all! \nDetails of Equipment To Be Purchased \n  \nTo learn more about the individual items on the equipment purchase lists you can click on each of the three AMAZON shopping list (organized by general function) and from there you can click on the induvial items for specific products information: \nWHWCNC Owl Labs Hybrid Meeting Equipment & Accessories https://a.co/j1D4ITk \nWHWCNC Computer & Projector List https://a.co/5q7tpU9 \nWHWCNC AV Supplies: https://a.co/eo9Oo79 \n                                                                                                                                                Roll Call Vote \nItem No. 9\nMihran Kalaydjian\, Vice Chair & Acting Presiding Officer\, Paul Lawler Treasurer & Ad hoc Virtual Hybrid Meetings Committee\n(23-043) \nAnnual May End of FY Budget Reallocation Motion \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                                      (20 minutes) \nA Motion is put forward to free up expected unspent WHWCNC funds in budget categories and move them to categories where the funds can be spent to benefit the board’s purpose and its stakeholders before the spending cutoff for the current Fiscal Year in June. This action serves as a preliminary foundation for creating the subsequent FY 2023/2024 budget allocations that must be passed in June to ensure funding will be available to us in July without interruption. \nA Motion directing the following Board actions:  \n1)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $300 on refreshments for the Board meetings. This affects Office/Operational Category (General Office). \n2)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend $250 for an agreement and $50 per meeting fee for the use of the West Valley – Warner Center Chamber of Commerce facilities with the expectation of reapproving the action for the next budget. This affects Office/Operational Category (Meeting Space Rental). \n3)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $2\,000 for Website support from Moore Business Solutions\, separate from another approval to spend $1\,000 not fully used yet. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach-Website Support). \n4)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $500 for supplies for neighborhood cleanup if they were not provided by Council District 3 since no expenditures have occurred. This affects Office/Operational Category (Committees). \n5)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend $50 on Halloween candy that was never purchased. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach-Committees). \n6)   Reduction to $800 of the prior Board authorization for the Outreach Committee to spend up to $6\,500 for specified activities\, such as website and printing\, since the Outreach Committee cannot implement all the planned changes and incur the associated costs in this FY. Therefore\, it will spend less this Fiscal Year and will need to spend more next FY to implement all the planned improvements. This is separate from another authorization to spend $3\,000 on promotional items. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach). \nIn summary\, this motion reallocates to the spending categories in the 2022/2023 Budget as follows for the fiscal year ending June 30\, 2023. All recurring expenses and any completed expenditures are accounted for\, along with any actions not separately mentioned. \nSupplementatl Information:\n\nThe total allocation of funds for 2022/2023 provided by the City was $35\,368.48. \nApproximately $19\,090\, or 54% of the budget\, is now allocated for (A-i) Office/Operational\, of which up to $13\,050 plus up to 5% overage for price increases or need to substitute equivalent products is for the Hybrid Meeting System\, including the sales tax. \nApproximately $15\,130\, or 34% of the budget\, is now allocated for (A-ii) Outreach\, which includes $6\,550 that went for in-person events\, including Valley Disaster Fair\, Valley Asian Cultural Festival\, One Generation\, Woodland Hills Academy\, and Concerts in the Park. \n$750\, or 2.1% of the budget\, is allocated to the charge balance of renting the site for voting for (A-iii) Elections. The charge is $900\, for which the City Clerk only pays $150. \nAccording to the April MER\, the previously adopted budget was $21\,000 for these subcategories. The new allocation is $32\,050\, or 90.6% of the budget. \n$3\,000\, or 8.5% of the budget\, is allocated for (B) Neighborhood Purpose Grants for New Friends Homeless Center and Friends of Calabash School. \nBased on the April MER\, the previously adopted NPG budget was $6\,000. This is reduced to $3\,000 (actual spending) due to recategorizing some NPG funding into the Outreach Category. \nBased on the April MER\, the previously adopted (C) Community Improvement Projects initial allocation was $5\,000\, and because no projects have been proposed\, it is now reduced to $0. \nThis leaves an unallocated balance of up to $800\, or about 2% of the budget\, which will go toward a rollover if allowed. \nItem No. 12\nHomeless Committee\, Aaron Quantz and Reina Cerros- M Chairs\n(22-044) \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                                      (7 minutes)\n\nOrganize a board member volunteer day at New Friends Homeless Center.

The proposed design will mitigate any adverse visual impacts and blend with the design of the underlying building. (See attached simulations.) \n  \nPLUM Motion \nThe Planning Land Use and Mobility committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC)\, having held one remote meeting via ZOOM on the proposed AT&T Mobility Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 16 panel antennas\, 48 RRUs\, and equipment cabinets behind screening on an existing rooftop; and \n  \nWHEREAS: Existing service is insufficient to meet existing demand by customers in the West Valley due to overloaded existing facilities resulting in interrupted service\, dropped calls\, or complete denial of service inside nearby neighborhood retail centers; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The LAMC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to grant Conditional Uses\, allows conditional use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility has satisfied the conditions of LAMC Sections 12.24 and 11.5.7 that allow for the installation of wireless facilities in R3-1 Zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The location meets the minimum distances to habitable structures required by the FCC. The antennas will be painted matte in a non-reflective color to match the existing transmission tower where they will be installed. The proposed antennas meet setback requirements from all abutting streets\, residential uses\, and all zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility emissions are regulated by the FCC to ensure public safety standards based on peer-reviewed scientific studies\, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, Federal Drug Administration (FDA)\, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a AT&T Mobility WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to AT&T Mobility for a new WTF; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The site is of adequate size\, shape\, topography\, location\, and access to utilities to accommodate the proposed wireless facility in that all setbacks are met\, and it has access to power and telephone connections; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The use and development will be compatible with the intended character of the area and are similar to other rooftop approvals elsewhere in the City; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC\, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\, and the CPUC\, governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable laws. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by AT&T Mobility for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Motion Picture & Television Fund\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\, receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested actions. Further Neighborhood Council advises the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and its subsequent supporting recommendation to approve this application as presented to the Board of the WHWCNC on December 12\, 2022 \nSee posted support document \nRoll call vote \nItem No. (9) Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee (PLUM) – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-115) Case No. ZA-2022-1090-ZV-ZAA 22450 W. Collins Street\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                  (10 minutes) \n  \nProject Description  \nApplication to expand an operating 6-bed/patient Detox facility in a single family residence treating substance abuse patients (by-right under State Law) into a 12-bed/12 person Detox facility at the same location using primarily the same staff and facilities. Expansion over the State allowed 6 patients is not by-right under State Law\, and approval is solely at the discretion of the City of Los Angeles. At three (3) WHWCNC PLUM Committee presentations\, neighbors spoke about numerous problems currently emanating from this facility and causing issues in the neighborhood\, and aired concerns that doubling the number of patients in the current facility without expanding staff or protections put the community at risk. The Applicant was asked—and agreed—to hold in-persons meetings with the neighbors and discuss the issues and any possible remedies. No meeting(s) occurred in the 3 months after the request was made and agreed-to by the Applicant. \n  \n  \nPLUM Motion  \nAs pertaining to Cases ZA-2022-1090-ZV-ZAA and ENV-2022-2091-CE\, having held three (3) public virtual teleconference PLUM meetings for the application filed by Aaron Barsalou\, the applicant/owner of Psyclarity Health\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has been operating a by-right 6-bed Residential Detox Program at the 22450 Collins Street location under State License No.191055AP since August 2020\, treating substance abuse patients: and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant is now requesting a Zone Variance to permit increasing the by-right\, 6 bed licensed Residential Detox Program on the RE11-1 zoned parcel at 22450 Collins Street\, to a 12-bed Program\, that is not covered by the State statute\,  by doubling up in the existing rooms; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has stated does not plan to increase staff levels\, add oversight personnel or make any modifications to the existing structure to accommodate the requested increased client count; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the LAPD has reported that during the period of September 2021 to September 2022 there were a total of 9 police/emergency calls (an average of 1 every 40 days) for service at the facility; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the surrounding neighbors have expressed concerns that the increased volume of occupants will result in an increase in the level of residents roaming the neighborhood streets at night\, and increase emergency and police activity resulting in further deterioration of the safety and quiet\, semi-rural nature of the residential community; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Applicant agreed to hold meetings with neighbors to see if issues could be worked out\, but failed to hold even one such meeting over a three month period; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the PLUM Committee members question whether the existing staff level will be sufficient to prevent occupants from leaving the facility alone and roaming on the local streets; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant plans to increase on-site parking capacity from 4 to 8 spaces by adding 4 new parking spaces and 10 bicycle spaces in the open back yard space of the property to comply with the required minimum of 9 parking spaces\, thus negating the need for a Zone Variance; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a Zoning Administrator Determination is being requested to address an existing reduced side yard setback of 5’6” to 8’ in lieu of the minimum required setback of 10’ for institutions and centers like this; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a temporarily closed school facility–Hughes Adult Learning Center\, (formerly Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School) is directly across Capistrano Avenue to the west and is currently being used by the West Valley Girls Softball League for athletic activities and could put these children in a dangerous situation; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, another Detox facility in the community is already located approximately 0.38 of a mile away on Dolorosa Street; \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans to expand the Substance Abuse facility at 22450 Collins Street from the current 6 patients to the requested 12 patients\, not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested action(s); \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 to not approve the application presented on Dec. 12\, 2022. \nSee posted support document \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (10) Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee (PLUM) – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-116) Case No. DIR-2021-7703-DI      5919 Canoga Ave.\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367 \n(Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse)\n\nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \n  \nProject Description: \nThe Applicant is requesting s supplemental permit for minor modifications to the façade\, internal floor layout and revise location of RTUs. \n  \nPLUM Motion \nAs pertaining to Case DIR-2021-7703-DI for relocation and renovations for Ruth’s Chris Steak House at 5919 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held one (1) virtual public meeting related to a modification to the previously supported project filed by Ruth’s Hospitality Group\, Inc. to enlarge\, upgrade and refurbish an existing restaurant structure in Allison Plaza in the Downtown District of the Warner Center 2035 Plan\, and to gain Administrative Clearance and a Director’s Interpretation for WC 2035 SP Section 5.3.2.7.2 for horizontal additions\, and for relief from Section 6.1.2.3.5(a)\, the WHWCNC Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed modifications result in no change to the overall design and functions of the approved plans;

Even though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to the airport and the City of Los Angeles and additional jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate our regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nWoodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Statement of Impact on Community \nVan Nuys Airport (VNY) has grown to rank as one of the world’s busiest general aviation airports. It is one of two airports owned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)–including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Its location in the center of the San Fernando Valley had been a significant departure and arrival point for legions of small private and corporate prop aircraft for decades. But year after year\, it has seen many small single-engine aircraft users replaced by newer\, bigger\, and noisier corporate jet aircraft. And\, during Covid\, VNY traffic increased\, and operations expanded\, providing private air traffic an alternative to LAX. That has substantially increased the volume of air traffic over densely populated Valley communities. \nEven though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to VNY and the City of Los Angeles and more jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nThe airport system operates under the direction of a policy-making Board of Airport Commissioners [BOAC] appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. In 1985\, the Los Angeles City Council established the Van Nuys Airport Citizens Advisory Council [CAC] for community examination and input around all aspects of general aviation operations\, facilities development\, and land utilization at and around the airport. But during the recent Covid crisis\, the perceived urgency facilitated an easy way for VNY to bypass the Van Nuys CAC and other advisory bodies\, to ignore their input and process\, and just submit project proposals directly to the BOAC. \nDue to the circumvention of the Van Nuys CAC\,  year-over-year after-hours operations at VNY have increased by 40.24%–directly impacting nearby residents with additional noise\, pollution\, and traffic. Overall\, FAA traffic control and after-hours operations have risen 40.06% since 2017. \nThis moment is critical for the City of Los Angeles when transparency and credibility are needed to restore public trust. As such\, LA City Council Members from Valley District 3\, District 2\, and District 4 created Motion #22-1489 that mandates input from the Van Nuys Airport CAC and sets clear standards of community outreach from the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) regarding updates made to the Van Nuys Airport. Additionally\, the Councilmember for the LAX area supports the motion. \nAs such\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council must endorse this City Council action and encourage our City Councilman\, Bob Blumenfield\, to continue his vigilance over increasing noise\, pollution\, and air traffic impacts on the residents and businesses of Council District 3. \nTherefore: \nWHEREAS\, the residents\, businesses\, and property owners of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center area\, as do all other VNY impacted communities deserve a meaningful opportunity for input about any proposed changes and projects under consideration by VNY and evaluation by the BOAC; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City of Los Angeles has chartered the Van Nuys Airport CAC with providing stakeholder input and outreach that VNY and the BOAC must in good faith adhere to; and \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC desires to completely support the actions of City Council Motion #22-1489 and urge the Council President that it be brought out of Committee to the Council floor for a complete vote of the LA City Council as swiftly as possible; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies (WHIP) Committee recommends the Woodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Board accept this Impact Statement as its own and request the Los Angeles City Council to enact the actions in Motion #22-1489 with swift and immediate enforcement. \nFURTHERMORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies Committee recommends that WHWCNC Board President Dena Weiss send a letter with this statement to all the active members of the City Council for immediate action\, as well as the BOAC and Mayor Bass. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (13) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-119) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-0407. Neighborhood Council / Standardize Election Rules / Stakeholder Participation \nDiscussion and Possible Action: Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee. \n                                                                                                                                                                       (10 minutes) \nCommunity Impact Statement: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] strongly encourages the City Council to require the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to submit a supplemental report-back responding to City Council requests in City Council File 21-0407. Further input from experienced Neighborhood Council Board Members\, which improves upon the report’s initial conclusions\, should better serve as the basis for City Council decisions. \nThe WHWCNC Board bases this advice on the knowledge that fellow Neighborhood Councils [NCs] report the report-back from EmpowerLA\, submitted to City Council on 10/14/2022\, contains factual errors when compared to raw elections data available on EmpowerLA.org. The Department’s limited attention to detail and awareness of statistics concerns the WHWCNC Board. Consequently\, our NC expects that the City Council will not rely on the 10/14/2022 report for making changes to the regulation of NC Elections. However\, further study is essential\, especially regarding self-affirmation. \nThe WHWCNC Board is highly concerned that self-affirmation by potential voters will become mandated by the City. The founders of this NC crafted the structure of WHWCNC to minimize the possibility of an organization’s takeover of the Board to follow its self-serving agenda. Our NC structure depends on recognizing\, preserving\, and promoting our seven distinct sub-communities of interest areas within our NC boundaries and having representatives of three types to encourage diversity of viewpoints and interests. Unfortunately\, the feared takeover-attempt situation has occurred more than once. Yet\, those attempts failed more than once\, primarily due to the Board’s structure. Self-affirmation allows voters to jump to other areas to tilt election outcomes fraudulently. Implementing voter self-affirmation removes the safeguards upon which honest elections and the Board structure depend. Self-affirmation is only appropriate when there is no distinction in standing for Board seats. \nIn recent years\, voter fraud has become an intense topic in America. Voter validation improves confidence in elections. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council notes that Neighborhood Councils that required voter validation\, like WHWCNC\, had higher voter turnout and more vote-by mail ballots returned and counted despite them being a smaller percentage of the councils having an election in 2021. WHWCNC believes voter validation minimizes the risk of fraudulent board takeovers. \nWhile Empower LA may make recommendations\, our Board emphasizes that Neighborhood Councils are independent under the City Charter. Therefore\, any amendments to their bylaws regarding voter qualifications cannot be made by the City Council or other entity\, only by each Neighborhood Council. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee unanimously recommends adoption of the above CI Statement by the WHWCNC and posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all City Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (14) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-120) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-1472\, 22-1196\, 22-1197 and 23-0002-S1 pertaining to creating new Council Redistricting Commission Rules and Increasing the Number  of Council Districts. \nDiscussion and Possible Action: Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee. \n                                                                                                                                                                       (10 minutes) \nCommunity Impact Statement Summary: \nSince the origination of LA’s city council system\, there have been 15 council districts. At the time\, there were 200\,000 people in the City of LA\, with about 13\,300 persons per district. That number is multiplied twenty times to over 3.85 million people today. Each Council District in Los Angeles has more people than the Cities of Burbank and Pasadena combined. There is scant evidence that this consolidation of power in such populated Districts is good for the residents and voters of LA. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council wholeheartedly supports bringing Charter Reform Ballot Initiatives to the voters before 2024. These would increase and tie Council district sizes to population\, expand the City Council to provide more representation to our communities and remove Councilmembers and elected officials from redistricting. \nWHIP Drafted CIS For Board Consideration \nThe WHIP Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] resolve and send the following WHIP statement of community impact as its own. The CIS supports calling for City Charter ballot measures on the expansion of the number of Council Districts and a new impartial Redistricting process to redistrict Los Angeles in time for the 2024 election cycle: \nCouncil File 21-1472 \nNovember 2022 Ballot / Ballot Measure / City Charter Amendment / Independent Redistricting Commission \nCouncil File 23-0002-S1 \nIndependent Redistricting Process / New Commission / New Redistricting Maps / City of Los Angeles / April 2023 Special Election \nCouncil File 22-1196  \nCharter Reform Ballot Initiative / 2024 / Redistricting Process / Los Angeles City Council Seats / Representation Fixed to Population Growth \n  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the creation of an independent redistricting commission.  It is a necessary and overdue step for the City Council and Los Angeles Unified School Board Districts.  During the 2021 redistricting process\, many Neighborhood Councils had to expend significant energy and time to fight for their neighborhood in a polarized and politicized process.  It is time for Los Angeles to catch up to California and Los Angeles County\, which already have independent redistricting commissions. \nWe propose adding restrictions for applicant qualifications excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the City’s work from serving on the Commission.  We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, any recent candidate for a City of LA elected office\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates. \nThe Redistricting process must follow a set of rank-ordered criteria to create new districts: \n\nPopulation Equality: Districts must comply with the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of “one person\, one vote.”\nFederal Voting Rights Act: Districts must ensure an equal opportunity for minorities to elect a candidate of their choice\nGeographic Contiguity: All areas within a district must connect as an undivided whole\, except for the particular case of islands\nGeographic Integrity: Without violating previous criteria\, Districts shall minimize the division of Neighborhood Councils before minimizing the division of communities of interest to the extent feasible. Communities of interest are secondary to neighborhood councils. They must be a contiguous population sharing common social and economic interests that justify inclusion within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.\nGeographic Compactness: To the extent practicable\, and where this does not conflict with previous criteria\, districts must not bypass nearby communities for more distant communities of interest. Communities of interest cannot be considered broader than 7 miles.\nTo the extent practicable\, Districts should not cross watersheds.\nDrawing Districts shall not consider any effects on incumbents\, office candidates\, or political parties.\n\n  \nThe City Council districts are currently too large to govern each area well. They have created an environment leading to opportunities for corruption by concentrating so much power in so few hands. A fifth of our City Council Members coming under indictment in the last decade is a strong indicator of opportunities for corruption. We also strongly believe in the expansion of the City Council’s size. \nIt is simply impossible for 15 Council Members to govern 4 million people appropriately.  Each City Council Member is supposed to represent over a quarter million residents.  For comparison\, in New York City (8.4 million people\, 51 council districts)\, each council district represents approximately 160\,000-170\,000 people.  In Chicago (2.71 million people\, 50 wards)\, each alderperson represents about 54\,000 people. The City of Fresno has a Council Member per 112\,000 persons. We favor getting to somewhere in the middle. \nWe support a ballot measure to establish a new City Council\, having one Council Member per 110\,000 residents to the nearest whole number of Council Districts and expanding the number of Council Districts as the population increases. \nServing as Commission Co-chairs\, two retired Superior Court Judges put forth by the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court shall select the Commission from a pool of about 80 candidates nominated across the City. At least one judge shall live in the City of Los Angeles. \nTo establish the pool of candidates\, each Los Angeles Neighborhood Council may nominate at least one and up to 3 candidates at the rate of one per 50\,000 in population to the nearest whole number\, ideally resulting in selecting about 1 out of 5 candidates to the Redistricting Commission of 17 members plus the two Co-chairs. \nWe support ballot measures to increase the number of Council Districts and establish new redistricting procedures. They should appear on the same ballot. When voters pass one or both ballot measures as proposed\, the City Council must immediately initiate the redistricting process to complete new redistricting in time for the 2024 election cycle. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (15) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-121) CIS regarding City Council File 14-0425-S13- 18477 West Sherman Way | \nReseda Theatre Restoration Project  \nDiscussion and Possible Action: A Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee passed unanimously. \n(10 minutes) \nPosition: Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] opposes City Council adoption of actions in Council File 14-0425-S13 unless amended and not before adequately reaching out to the Reseda community and satisfactorily receiving and addressing their comments and concerns. \nThe revitalization of the Reseda Theater has been a dream of the Reseda Community for over two decades. The community supported bundling the theater project with a senior housing project\, which promised to revitalize the theater years ago. \nThroughout the years\, the Reseda Neighborhood Council [RNC] requested updates regarding the progress of the theater. RNC asserts that City entities never promptly informed the community regarding the proposed transfer and severance of Reseda Theater Senior Housing LP into two corporate entities\, Reseda Theater and Public Market LP. \nIn public records\, RNC discovered that the developer filed incorporation documents in May 2021 that set the groundwork for using two corporate entities. In addition\, these records show that over 18 months\, the developer and the City failed to inform the Reseda community of potential changes. \nThe WHWCNC and local community have likewise experienced similar lapses in communicating promptly with the impacted stakeholders and us. This results in the perception of concealment of City development activities and creates the perception of backroom dealings in our shared Council District on development projects impacting our local communities. We remember the handling of the expansion of the West Valley Food Pantry. There was also the acquisition of properties across from Taft High School with public funds to be operated by a non-profit to provide homeless housing and services to targeted groups. Unfortunately\, details on these projects\, and more\, only come post-approval of projects by the City or until it is too late for the community to adequately weigh in with input before the City determines its decisions. This lack of communication continually happens despite numerous requests from the public for timely transparency on projects in CD3 that will have an enormous impact on our community and our stakeholders. Thus\, WHWCNC feels it is our responsibility to join the RNC in calling out the inadequate and delinquent sharing of necessary information regarding development projects in Council District 3 that results when bypassing Neighborhood Councils and not informing or gathering community input. \nCommunity input matters. Because Reseda stakeholders were not informed of the proposed changes and denied the opportunity to weigh in on serious concerns while the project was still in the planning stages\, the perception of backroom deals continues. Inadequate timely transparency has plagued the Los Angeles City Council and City operating departments for years. By way of examples\, we refer to the ways that LA City Council handled its own redistricting and that of LAUSD last cycle\, where community and NC input fell on deaf ears. We also see similarities in the handling of the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter and the Van Nuys Airport [VNY]\, in which City departments bypassed steps for informing the public and getting necessary responses from affected stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils (see our CISs regarding Council Files 22-0897 and 22-1489). \nThe City of Los Angeles provides financing for this project with tax dollars. RNC’s understandable concern is that this request for ownership transfer from one corporate owner to two is a possible ploy on the developer’s part to keep the successfully operating housing project and escape their contractual obligations to restore and revitalize the Reseda Theater as promised to the community. \nTherefore\, the WHWCNC requests the City Council defer acting on Council File 14-0425-S13 until after the City informs the stakeholders of Reseda on the reasons for and the possible implications of the changes proposed. The City and developers must objectively show the community that the proposed changes in ownership structure and any other pending changes will in no way jeopardize the restoration of the theater as promised. After educating the community and RNC on the impact of the pending changes\, they should have the opportunity to provide robust feedback. Then the City and developer should consider the community’s thoughtful input. Waiting for community education and assessing their responses means the property transfer from Reseda Theater Senior Housing\, LP\, to Reseda Theater and Public Market LP must be delayed and possibly denied unless the community is assured of project completion with the proposed changes. \nSincerely\, \nWoodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\, Philip Swain\nArea 3 –Mark Ball\, John Sandy Campbell\, Annmarie Donkin \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Gretchen Gesell\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Aaron Williams\, Houtan Hormozian\, Christine Robinson\nAt-Large –August Steurer\, Bobby Wasserman\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Rachel Tabak and Houtan Hormozian\, co-chairs \nCommunity Outreach and Social Media Committee – August Steurer and Bobbie Wasserman\, co-chairs\nEducation Committee –Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair \nSafety Committee – Houtan Hormozian and Rachel Tabak\, co-chairs\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc Committee – Flight Path and Noise Advisory Committee – Martin Lipkin\, Chair \n  \nAnnouncements:  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held on January 11\, 2023\, by teleconference.

Our area ranks first in crime increase\, in the Los Angeles area in most categories.  Woodland Hills is a peaceful area of the San Fernando Valley where families come and settle and to safely work and raise their children. It is concerning that there has been 10 homicides so far this  year in our area. This is twice as many  as in 2020 (100% increase)  and 4 more than in 2021 (67% increase). Overall total violent crimes are up 16% since 2020 and 26% since 2021. Property crimes also have risen. \n  \nFor such a dramatic increase in overall crime\, there must be a dramatic reaction and solution. \n  \nWoodland Hills Warner-Center Neighborhood Counsel requests request that the City and its officials responsible maximize allocation of officers and resources to the Topanga division. Additional officer deployment and allocation is crucial in an area of Los Angeles where crime is skyrocketing\, and the residents are fearful. The consequence of inaction will be preventable loss of life and property. \n  \nVery truly yours\, \nConcerned Citizens of Woodland Hills Warner Center through its Neighborhood Council. \n  \nSee attachment of Topanga Area Crime Profile from 9-11-22 through 10-8-22. \n  \nRoll call vote \nItem No. (10) Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee [PLUM] – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-101) Conditional Use Permit – Wireless\, Case No. ZA-2022-4017\, ENV-2022-4018\, Conditional Use – Wireless LALAX04022B\, 11/03/2022.  \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (15 minutes) \nApplication for a Conditional Use Permit for an array of wireless antennas and a wireless telecommunications facility to be located at 21859 W. Oxnard Street\, Woodland Hills\, on top of the Marriott Hotel. \nRESOLUTION: \n  \nThe Planning Land Use and Mobility committee of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC)\, having held one remote meeting via ZOOM on the DISH Wireless WTF request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 3 new FRP Screen Box for 3-panel antennas divided into three sectors\, twelve 12 remote radio units (RRUs) – four located at each sector installed on the existing rooftop.

The community and the Montero family would like to memorialize this tragic loss by erecting a marker at the site of the accident. This memorial consists of a 16′ pole topped with a sculpture of a bicycle and a placard with Sebastian’s name\, the date of the collision\, the reminder “Streets Are For Everyone” (S.A.F.E) and the hashtag #SafetyMatters. \nThe design of the sculpture has been approved by LADOT as visually safe for passing motorists and the structure of the sculpture has been engineered to safety standards. The installation will be performed by the artist\, Scott Froschauer\, and maintenance of the sculpture will be overseen by S.A.F.E.\, a bicycle safety advocacy nonprofit in conjunction with the artist. The location where the memorial is proposed is within the jurisdiction of Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and we support this project. \nSee attached photo \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (13) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-104) Community Impact Statement RE: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades CIS CF 22-1146 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSummary CF 22-1146:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for putting forth this much-needed motion.

Circumstances require immediate attention due to the revelation that CISs submitted via the DONE CIS portal to specific city departments\, commissions\, and committees have not arrived at their destination. The proper functioning of this Portal for submitting Community Impact Statements is essential to the function of the Neighborhood Council System. \nWe heartily support the actions requested in CF 22-1146\, which requires: “that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal\, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted\, the length of time the errors were present in the system\, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal\, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils\, and the steps taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future.” We caution the City Council that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment previously engaged in deceptive and diversionary practices with Neighborhood Councils when replying to requests like the City Council’s questions. \nWe also support the additional actions requested\, which require the following:  \nThe City Council instructs the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, with the assistance of the Information Technology Agency\, to report back in 45 days on the necessary technological upgrades needed to the Community Impact Statement Portal to ensure that the Community Impact Statement submissions are as seamless and streamlined as possible; furthermore\, ensure that technical issues of this sort will not arise in the future. \nCurrently\, the CIS Portal appears inconsistent and “glitchy\,” preventing submissions. At the same time\, this causes frustration and doubt with the designated NC submitters\, who cannot tell if their actions are the problem or if the CIS Portal Page is the problem. The primary problem experienced relates to the submittal of PDFs. If there is proper maintenance and upgrades\, this should not happen. A newly designed CIS portal page should use current industry best practices for layout and back-end processing; for example work without the use of pop-up windows and should work seamlessly with current Chrome\, Edge\, Fire Fox and Safari browsers. The submission site should allow for drag and drop or navigating to and selecting attachment files. \nWhile we applaud this measure\, we request the reassurance that needed technological upgrades\, if any\, be integrated into the new citywide technology plan. Optionally\, we also request consideration of the transference of the DONE CIS maintenance responsibilities to the City Clerk’s office. \nAs an additional safeguard\, we propose that all Neighborhood Councils receive an automated alert when an email from the current NC CIS system bounces back to the server until the review above is completed and reviewed by the City Council.” \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (14) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-105) Community Impact Statement RE: Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSupplemental Reference Material: Ethics Commission File (Charter Sec 700 Ethics Reforms) \nCouncil File Number CF 22-1232: \nSummary:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we ask for the following amending actions. \n\nGenuine Independent Appointments\nMore Restrictive Eligibility Requirements\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner\nIncreased maximum penalty\nIncrease the minimum commission budget\nIndependent outside counsel for the Commission\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1232 : Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \nWHWCNC Position: Support If Amended \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we give the following amending actions required below. \nThe City of Los Angeles’ Ethics Commission was once a model for the nation over three decades ago. Given recent events of the last decade\, an update is long overdue. The city must immediately start the work necessary to put a Charter Reform proposal on a near-future ballot. \nHowever\, you must not rush this work and waive it out of committee as a convenient answer to the ever-continuing scandals at City Hall. It deserves a full and fair hearing in committee with robust public involvement and discussion\, including Neighborhood Councils. \nThe Ethics Commission’s recommendations broadly reflect input it received regarding the empowerment of the body to enforce the law\, meaningfully change policy\, and change the power dynamics at City Hall. \nHowever\, we believe they fail to enhance the Commission’s independence sufficiently. We still see the opportunity for elected officials to strong-arm commissioners and meddle with the enforcement actions and policy proposals of the Ethics Commission in the same way elected officials manipulated the Redistricting Commission when those officials were not getting what they wanted. \nWe recommend the following specific amendments: \n\nIndependent Appointment: The City of LA cannot have a genuinely independent Ethics Commission until there is no involvement of elected officials in the member appointment process. The incumbent commissioners should be responsible for accepting and vetting applications through a public process.\nEligibility Requirements: The Commission proposes adding restrictions excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the city’s work from serving on the Commission.  These restrictions are warranted but incomplete. We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, a recent candidate for the City of LA\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates.\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner: The Commission recommends increasing the number of elected officials who may initiate removal and reducing the threshold to a majority vote. Due to the presence of “tribal” factions in the City Council\, removal should require action by a supermajority of the City Council\, so we recommend requiring a 2/3rds vote for all proceedings removing Ethics Commissioners.\nIncreased maximum penalty: The Commission recommends increasing the administrative penalty to $10k per violation.  We recommend adopting Chicago’s maximum fine of $20k indexed to inflation per violation.\nRaise minimum budget: The Commission recommends their budget be set at $4.5 million and tied to CPI.  While this would protect against retaliation or defunding during a financial crunch\, this essentially freezes the status quo into the charter. If the City Council expands\, ethics will require more money. The budgeted minimum must be indexed for growth in the number of elected officials and separately indexed for the number of employees. $4.5 million is only a few hundred thousand above the Commission’s current budget.\nIndependent outside counsel: Realistically the City Attorney cannot serve multiple masters in these matters. The Commission’s recommendations include new expenditures\, like having independent outside counsel\, which is essential for good governance. These new additions will require even more money. A minimum budget of $7-10 million to be indexed for inflation would start the Commission with the resources needed to fulfill its broad mandate.\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nWe appreciate your immediate attention to this topic\, \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (15) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-106) Community Impact Statement RE: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \n  \nDiscussion and Possible Action:                                                                    (10 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File Numbers CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: \nSummary: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo.

Neighborhood Council members must adhere to a Code of Conduct and take Anti-Bias training as part of our service. We believe the City Councilmembers should lead with their behavior rather than become a national mockery. The rules around our decorum and training are clear. Equally clear is the double standard that exists for members of the City Council. Were Neighborhood Council members to behave similarly\, we would face censure\, removal\, and dismissal by our board\, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners. Indeed\, they removed elected NC board members from Neighborhood Councils for far less egregious violations than what we are sickened to have heard from these disgraced city and union leaders. \nOur City of LA is a rich amalgamation of residents of global origins. In 2022\, we don’t expect to hear explicit recordings of literal bigotry\, recordings of the leaders of City Hall participating in offensive rhetoric against numerous cultures\, races\, ethnicities\, religions\, and sexual identities while discussing gerrymandering based on race and socioeconomic status\, and backroom deals to keep themselves in power. \nThis Neighborhood Council demands the immediate resignations of Councilmembers de León and Cedillo so the City can begin trusting and respecting City leaders. \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\nArea 3 – John Sandy Campbell \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – None\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Houtan Hormozian\nAt-Large –None\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler – Chairs \nCommunity Services Committee / Safety – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee –Mihran Kalaydjian – Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc Committee – Flight Path and Noise Advisory Committee – Martin Lipkin\, Chair \n  \nAnnouncements:  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held on December 14\, 2022\, by teleconference.

The community and the Montero family would like to memorialize this tragic loss by erecting a marker at the site of the accident. This memorial consists of a 16′ pole topped with a sculpture of a bicycle and a placard with Sebastian’s name\, the date of the collision\, the reminder “Streets Are For Everyone” (S.A.F.E) and the hashtag #SafetyMatters. \nThe design of the sculpture has been approved by LADOT as visually safe for passing motorists and the structure of the sculpture has been engineered to safety standards. The installation will be performed by the artist\, Scott Froschauer\, and maintenance of the sculpture will be overseen by S.A.F.E.\, a bicycle safety advocacy nonprofit in conjunction with the artist. The location where the memorial is proposed is within the jurisdiction of Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and we support this project. \nSee attached photo                                                                                                                  Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (6) President\, Dena Weiss \n(22-097) Funding for WHWCNC Website – Webmaster Management \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \nMOTION for the Board to approve $1\,000.00 in funding from the board approved WHWCNC 2022-2023 Budget (Line Item\, Webmaster) for webmaster Wendy Moore (Moore Business Solutions) to be available to make any necessary improvements or repairs to the WHWCNC website and assistance with technology as needed.

It appears that the Department is understaffed and lacks skilled managerial leadership\, and these shortcomings led to a profound breach of moral and fiduciary duty. \nIt is unfathomable how neither the Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW) nor the Mayor-appointed Board of Animal Services Commissioners gave any public indication of these problems. Instead\, they left it to a newspaper exposé [link to LAT] and volunteers’ honest\, heartbreaking words [link to ABC7] to make these conditions known to the broader public. \nNews media outlets have documented these conditions before\, including occupied animal living quarters overrun by rats [link to Newsweek] and flooding shelters [link to CF 19-1584]. \nNecessary actions must be taken to quickly and efficiently process into the system the many people who have applied to be volunteers\, including\, as necessary\, clerical staff being transferred to the Department to process backlogged applications. The City shelters’ substantial volunteer corps\, without which the shelters could not operate\, must be treated with the respect they deserve and given a formal seat at the table in current and future decision-making for the shelters and their procedures and operation. One option worth considering is the formation of a volunteers’ “Animal Services Advisory Committee\,” with representatives elected by the volunteers from each of the City’s shelters. \nVolunteers suspended or terminated for speaking to the media\, after bringing their concerns first to Department of Animal Services management and the Board of Animal Services Commissioners only to be ignored\, must be immediately reinstated. Terminating highly skilled volunteers who run shelter programs such as dog playgroups\, train other volunteers\, and walk the more challenging dogs further harms animals in the shelters. Retaliation against employee whistleblowers is illegal\, and reprisals against volunteers are equally wrong and erode trust in our City’s governance structures. Should the City be able to terminate a volunteer for engaging in good faith criticism of the City? Good governance depends upon the willingness of constituents to speak out without fear of retaliation. \nA complete and comprehensive audit should be undertaken by the City Controller of the Department of Animal Services\, including its volunteer program\, to analyze the Department’s needs\, budget\, staffing structure and numbers\, and the effectiveness of its expenditures. \nAdditionally\, the exorbitant $1.5 million contract with the marketing firm The Glue LLC should be immediately examined\, and the nature\, circumstances\, and expenditure on this contract should be investigated by the Controller for fraud\, waste\, and abuse.  The contract is currently delinquent\, and its costs are much higher than industry standards. This should include a review \nof the change in the terms of use [link to Ordinance 185617] of the Animal Welfare Trust Fund instituted in 2018\, which was approved by both the Animal Services Commission and the PAAW Committee. In FY 2021-2022\, 63% of all expenditures from the donor-funded Animal Welfare Trust Fund went to the Glue marketing contract (for services that have yet to be delivered) rather than the care of animals. Animal care is why people donate to and the purpose of this trust. \nContrary to the motion [link to CF 22-0943] introduced by Councilmember Koretz\, this is not simply a crisis of budgetary resources; it is a crisis of dubious priorities\, inept management\, and derelict and negligent oversight. For example\, the City has never adequately funded or enforced its spay and neuter policies\, which has directly contributed to the current overcrowding. Alongside these management issues\, however\, it is true that the City has chronically underfunded the Department of Animal Services and must henceforth budget appropriately for the needs of the animals. There is a clear need for the Department to have permanent independent\, neutral oversight\, such as from an ombudsman to whom issues of concern could be directed. This is especially the case given the Department’s substantial skilled Volunteer workforce. Often\, they are the first to recognize needed changes and need a communication channel free of retribution. \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly condemns the suspension or termination of Volunteers for speaking with the press or with Animal Services Department Management or Oversight Board about conditions in the City Animal Shelters or exercising their First Amendment rights. These suspensions and terminations should be investigated\, and all the Volunteers terminated for these reasons should be reinstated immediately. \nThe shelter system’s animals\, volunteers\, employees\, and taxpayers deserve the humane and ethical treatment that a better-run department would provide. The responsibility for delivering it falls to you and your appointees. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the Board of Animal Services\, Department of Animal Services GM\, the Mayor\, Members of the Los Angeles City Council\, staff of the City Council\, Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW)\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield’s staff. \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (6) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair  \n(22-090) Community Impact Statement RE: LADWP Ratepayer Impacts of LA100 Proposal  \n& Necessary Public Outreach \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following motion: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] supports the Water and Power Associates letter of June 20\, 2022 [letter link]\, to the LA Department of Water & Power [LADWP] Board of Commissioners. \nThe WHWCNC strongly believes that all future rate increases projected under the LA100 Strategic Long-Term Resource Plan [presentation link]\, or come about because of\, for example\, but not limited to projected increases from increased use of water from the Metropolitan Water District [MWD] and their upstream providers and surcharges that these providers may be imposing on LADWP be communicated to its customers through the use of charts like those contained at the end of the Water and Power Associates letter [bottom of page 2] \nLADWP should expand its projected rate increase charts for water and electricity to show the projected rate increases for both Zone 1 and Zone 2 (high temperature-consumption allotment areas of the San Fernando Valley & East LA) [map link]\, ratepayers. Additionally\, LADWP charts should show customers under rate plans such as “Time of Use” or have dedicated meters-billing plans for EV charging or meters for outdoor water use. Charts should be available for any new rate plans offered. \nThe LADWP should maintain prominently on its website updates to the rate charts that show projected versus actual rate increases for the past five years. Projected versus actual billed rates should be explained. This information will allow customers to see trends and gauge for themselves the accuracy of LADWP rate projections and the reliance they should put on them. \nFurthermore\, the WHWCNC asks that the LADWP widely disseminate these updated tables showing projected rate increases in advance of future rate increases. LADWP should use billing inserts\, NC outreach\, email\, and text alerts\, social media\, and print and broadcast media campaigns in sufficient time for the public to provide input before rate increases take effect. Most importantly\, customers will be able to respond intelligently to the signals LADWP and the marketplace is sending them about their resource consumption\, savings\, and generation opportunities. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the LADWP Board of Commissioners\, DWP Management\, the LADWP Rate Payer Advocate\, the Mayor\, the LA City Council Energy\, Climate Change\, Environmental Justice and River Committee\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield\, and staffs of these bodies. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No (7) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair  \n(22-091) Taxpayer Funded Northeast Valley Animal Shelter RFP To Operate As a Private Rescue Organization Facility \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (10 minutes) \nWHEREAS\, The Northeast Valley Animal Shelter is a City facility built with Proposition F funds to be a municipal animal shelter\, open to the public.  It was not meant to be a private facility to house rescue organizations.  Nevertheless\, the Board of Animal Services Commissioners has issued an Request for Proposal [RFP] to do just that\, lease the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter to rescue organizations to operate; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, The Board of Animal Services Commissioners and Animal Services Department did not provide an opportunity for the affected Stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils [NCs] to provide input into this decision\, the Department of Animal Services and City Council should receive input from the affected Stakeholders and NCs before releasing the RFP for rescue organizations to operate the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Request for Proposal RFP was released without input from the affected Stakeholders and NCs; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City Council introduced a resolution (Council File 22-0897\, Koretz and Blumenfield) to amend the City Charter to require that the commission associated with any department contemplating the issuance of an RFP hold a public hearing or the department hold a public meeting\, to provide members of the public an opportunity to offer relevant ideas for consideration by the department prior to the drafting of the RFP; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the Animal Services Commission doesn’t appear to be doing anything to stop the RFP for the Northeast Valley Shelter; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council RESOLVE\, that the Board believes the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter should be a full-service municipal animal shelter as contemplated by Proposition F and that no action should be taken on the RFP until it is determined if this can be done. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the Board of Animal Services\, Department of Animal Services GM\, the Mayor\, Members of the Los Angeles City Council\, staff of the City Council\, Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW)\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield’s staff. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\, Kathleen Barth\nArea 3 – John Sandy Campbell \nArea 4 – Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Don Patterson\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Vacant\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian\nAt-Large – Kathleen Barth\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services and Public Safety Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee – Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee – Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nSocial Media & Community Outreach Committee – Chair\, TBD\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc Committee – Flight Path and Noise Advisory Committee – Martin Lipkin\, Chair \n  \nAnnouncements:  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held on October 12\, 2022\, by teleconference.

It is clear the digital billboard sign proposal (just like the digital bus shelter sign proposal)\, is more about getting revenue with little public benefit\, at the expense of all the adverse impacts it will bring. The Board is opposed for the following reasons: \n\nThe digital billboard signs\, including commercial advertising and changing out every 8 seconds\, has potential to distract drivers in multiple ways\, whether it is glare\, brightness\, freeway messaging or catchy advertising changing every 8 seconds.\nIf drivers are not allowed to view smart phones while driving because of their distractive nature known to negatively affect safety\, then why should hundreds of distracting billboards that can be viewed by drivers (equally or more distracting as smart phones) be allowed to negatively affect public safety?\nThe potential risk of reduced public safety exceeds the potential public benefit.\nDigital billboard signs will do little to improve the flow of traffic on freeways\, if anything it will slow traffic down as does the current messaging signs\, many of which are unrelated to traffic\, such as “click it or ticket\,” etc.\nThe proposed digital billboard signage would be an exception to the City’s existing 2002 general ban on any new off-premises billboard signs (digital or static) as well as prohibiting the conversion of existing billboard signs to digital. The proposed exception will undermine the general billboard ban\, leading to new litigation that opens the door to a proliferation of digital billboard signs anywhere in the city. The billboard pandemic will not stop with just Metro owned properties.\nThe digital billboard signs will add more unnecessary light pollution to an already polluted night sky.\nThe Metro Transportation Communication Network (TCN) can be enhanced without the use of huge billboard signs.\nThe personal use of traffic and transit apps as well as parking apps are already doing the job when it comes to informing the public which best route to take\, etc.\nCity agreements could override Specific Plan limitations on signage.\n\nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council is strongly OPPOSED to actions sought CF 22-0392 permitting digital billboard signs as part of METRO’s TCN because it undermines the City’s hard-fought ban on off-site outdoor advertising. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board will notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Planning\, Land Use and Management Committee of its position to oppose the directive to amend City code to allow new digital billboards. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No (8) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair  \n(22-082) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 20-1536 \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee pertaining to Council File CF 20-1536 for the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP). \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] resolve and send the following WHIP statement of community impact as its own to not support proposed actions in CF 20-1536 for the substantive reasons stated: \nDear Board of Public Works/City Council\, \n  \nWe are writing to note concerns around the proposed Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program [STAP] plan\, as we don’t feel the Program as currently written aligns with what works in our community. We must oppose the pending STAP program until are concerns are satisfactorily addressed. Please see our concerns and questions below: \n  \nSafety of Digital Advertising \nIlluminated digital screens\, like televisions or smart phones\, can be hugely distracting to drivers\, especially if the ads are being changed every 8 seconds\, as proposed. Advertising is created to be distracting and catch eyes\, but that’s potentially deadly when someone is in a car passing by a bus stop. These ads will likely exacerbate the problem of driver distraction. Pedestrian fatalities are already a serious problem across Los Angeles– 2021 saw more pedestrian fatalities than any other year\, with 294 dying according to the LAPD. Among the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents\, driver distraction accounts for 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near crashes\, according to a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute [VTTI]. In 2010 alone\, distracted driving claimed the lives of 5\,474 people and injured another 448\,000.  A study by the Swedish Transport Authority found that digital billboards cause longer glance and dwell time\, but it was inconclusive on the effects of driver safety. \n  \nInformation Safety and Location Tracking \nGenerally digital ads track the cell phone data from those nearby in order to “retarget” them with additional advertising later. Information on a user’s location\, although anonymized\, is often sold on to 3rd parties so that other advertisers can target locally. Advertising targeting can also gain information about a person’s age\, gender\, income\, and more. The cußrrent Program offers no assurance that this data will not be shared with outside partners. \n  \nPlanet Money interviewed the CEO (O’Brien) of a digital billboard advertising agency who shared this information on why digital OOH (out-of-home) advertising is so popular. He said if you go up to the third floor of a mall\, they might know from your Google searches that you’ve been looking for shoes. They can then command the billboard on that floor to say shoes are 20% off at Macy’s. O’Brien says\, don’t worry – most of the data is anonymized\, unless you’ve opted in to share your data\, which sometimes just happens when you click agree on some terms and services agreement. At that point\, he can track you and target ads at you very personally. O’Brien is very excited about this. He says it leads to much more relevant ads. But me [the host of Planet Money] – not so much. \n  \nThere are possible fiscal consequences for LA due to fines. Since Los Angeles is a popular destination for tourists\, it’s worth noting that this practice violates European Union’s [EU] GDPR\, which applies to EU citizens when outside the EU: https://gdpr.eu/companies-outside-of-europe/. \n  \nRevenue Funds \nPast revenue from programs like the expiring street furniture program has been inadequate to serve our community’s needs. The share of gained revenue was miniscule compared to invaded privacy and the public visual nuisance created. How will the funding and profits from this Program help meet the needs of Woodland Hills-Warner Center and other Los Angeles communities in a meaningful manner? \n  \nIt is unclear whether these funds will be used to improve the infrastructure at bus stops\, assure existing stops are ADA accessible\, and fix streetscapes. All of these would help our neighborhood\, especially shaded bus stops in the excessive heat of the Valley. If bus stops are getting additional funding to install digital advertising\, improvements should also be made to the stop itself and ease of passenger use. \n  \nAt minimum\, we request that the funding estimates for the bus shelter program be made available prior to the contract being introduced to the Board of Public Works and Los Angeles City Council. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board is to notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield\, the Board of Public Works\, and Councilmembers of the Public Works Committee of the Board’s position to oppose the current actions being considered. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No (9) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair  \n(22-083) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 22-0736 \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee regarding diversion “High Value” projects directly to City Council as proposed in CF 22-0736. \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] adopt and send the following motion/community impact statement as its own to not support proposed actions in CF 22-0736 for the substantive reasons stated: \nRegarding City Council Motions related to High Value Projects (CF 22-0736) the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) reiterates its opposition as previously stated in its CIS for CF 20-1044 and requests that the City Council reconsider their decision to move evaluations of “High Value” projects directly to the full City Council instead of the City Council’s PLUM Committee for reasons stated below: \nWHEREAS\, while the WHWCNC fully appreciates the efforts to reduce corruption in its determinations\, the WHWCNC believe that bypassing the City Council’s Planning\, Land Use and Mobility (PLUM) Committee bypasses the last critical opportunity to fully vet and evaluate the most impactful projects in the City and their effects on the communities they intend to build in; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC believes circumventing the Council’s PLUM Committee could lead to increased corruption with less review; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC insists that these “High Value” projects provide the public many opportunities to comment on the significant impacts to their neighborhoods\, land values and traffic effects\, which we doubt can be accommodated by the full City Council; and\, \n  \n  \nWHEREAS\, the motion to expedite projects would have the effect of limiting public participation in the approval process by elimination of any hearing held by the City PLUM Committee\, since the pressing matters are of the City Council will curtail the amount of time for public participation now handled in meetings at the PLUM Committee stage; and \nWHEREAS\, the Planning Department Report has presented quantifiable determination as to exactly what constitutes a “High Value” project\, and questions whether the full City Council can dedicate the time\, staffing or depth of understanding to acquire a full understanding of all the significant issues that could/will significantly impact a neighborhood or community; and \nWHEREAS\, as the City has created insufficient barriers to the lawyers\, private planners\, lobbyists and other individuals in promoting a “High Value” project to Council Members\, thus creating the opportunity for even more City decision makers to be targets for corruption\, the City Council would be better off limiting the access of developers and lobbyists to Councilmembers for the purpose of influencing project determinations; and \nWHEREAS\, the City Council should make real efforts to create a true independent review of these “High Value” projects\, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars and affect the lifestyles and environment of hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles residents and businesses for multiple decades; \nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly urges the Los Angeles City Council to consider the following points for “High Value” projects and delay passage until the following are addressed for the benefit of the public: \n\nAlternative definitions of a “High Value” project be offered by City Planning\, for the public and the City Council\, that reflect “High Impact” since size does not always match impacts. Size should not be the only determinant.\nThe public should know in advance for transparency as to exactly which individual(s) using which requirements will have the authority to determine if a project is sent to the City PLUM Committee or sent directly to the full City Council for resolution.\nA solution is found that creates a greater timeframe and more generous appeal process for the public—and specifically for stakeholders in the neighborhood where the project is slated to be built—before the sitting City Council members make any final decisions.\nRequirements be developed to prohibit contact outside of public meetings between “High Value” applicants or their representative and the Members of the City Council or their staff.\nThe proposed “Policies and Procedures” undergoing review by the City Attorney must include and not limit opportunity for Neighborhood Councils to participate in project vetting.\nFor “High Value” projects\, Neighborhood Councils should be provided additional time to comment on projects due to the complexity of issues.\nNeighborhood Councils and the Public should be given additional time to comment after changes introduced within the meeting or since the last public meeting.\n\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the Los Angeles City Council\, the Los Angeles Planning Department\, and the City Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to perform greater outreach to the residents and business of the City of Los Angeles and to their elected Neighborhood Councils so that the constituents of this City can have a greater voice in the most significant projects impacting our surrounding environment and lifestyles. \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board will notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Planning\, Land Use and Management Committee of its position to oppose the current actions being considered. \n  \n  \nItem No (10) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair  \n(22-084) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 11-1020S3  \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee regarding redefined language that affects funding for the “Budget Advocates” organization by potentially limiting Neighborhood Councils to specify the organization receiving funds as proposed in. CF 11-1020-S3. \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] adopt and send the following motion/community impact statement\, as its own\, to not support proposed actions in CF 11-1020-S3 for the substantive reasons stated: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council not support CF 11-1020-S3\, which seeks to alter names of funding accounts\, for the following substantive reasons. \nWHEREAS\, the current motion in Council File CF 11-1020-S3 contemplates changing the language from “Budget Advocates” to “budget advocacy;” \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council oppose the action in Council File CF 11-1020-S3 seeking to rename the funding accounts administered by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to be not as specific. The proposed action(s) could limit the ability of Neighborhood Councils to direct funds to be transferred for sole use by a specific recognized organization. Our Neighborhood Council needs the ability to transfer specific amounts of council funding to a specific organization instead of a fund that can be allocated to any organization without our Board’s input. The Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends amending CF 11-1020-S3 to allow Neighborhood Councils\, which donate to a fund — regardless of what it’s named\, to specify which organization or alliance is to benefit from those donations. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, The Board notify the City Clerk in a CIS\, Board of Neighborhood Commissioners\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Budget and Finance Committee of the City Council. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\, Kathleen Barth\nArea 3 – Nancy McLean\, John Sandy Campbell\, Alex Farassati \nArea 4 – Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Don Patterson\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Peter Fletcher\, Tristin Estandiari\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian\, Logan Fisher\nAt-Large – Vacant\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services and Public Safety Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee – Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee – Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nSocial Media & Community Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nYouth Advisory Committee – Logan Fisher\, Chair \nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

Then when confronted\, the individuals admitted they were paid lobbyists for a non-profit lobbying organization. However\, the lobbyist failed to disclose that the 501(c) organization paying them received its funding from an industry trade association that has taken a position against widely accepted local\, state\, national and international standards. The WHIP Committee determined these widely accepted standards would be in the best interest of the Woodland Hills community and the City of Los Angeles. \nNOW\, THEREFORE\, the WHWCNC WHIP Committee strongly supports the Ethics Commission proposed changes to the Los Angeles Municipal Lobbying Ordinance together with the changes suggested in the Reseda NC filed CIS and the WHIP unanimously passed DRAFT CIS statement below. We ask WHWCNC to adopt this position and so inform city officials by filing the following Community Impact Statement and emailing copies as indicated: \nDRAFT CIS \nCouncil File 22-0560 \n(Municipal Lobbying Ordinance / Updates) \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] supports the changes recommended in the Report from City Ethics Commission to the municipal lobbying ordinance (MLO) regarding neighborhood councils [NCs]. We also request the consideration of changes to a few areas of the draft MLO that we believe will benefit transparency in all parts of city government. \nThis matter is extremely important to NCs because we are routinely disadvantaged and victimized by loopholes in the current MLO. Therefore\, we ask Council President Martinez to hold hearings on Council File 22-0560 and move the updated and improved MLO for adoption ASAP. \nUnder section 48.08.8 of the current lobbying ordinance\, a lobbyist disclosure is required only for written communications to NCs. We believe the MLO should be updated to include identical disclosure requirements when a lobbyist makes an oral presentation or public comment to an NC related to their lobbying efforts. Therefore\, we deeply agree with section 48.11 of the draft MLO under consideration. \nNCs continue to meet virtually due to COVID. It is anticipated virtual meetings will continue in some form even when/if the pandemic passes. Additionally\, under AB 361\, we are prohibited from requiring “speaker cards\,” which is where traditionally lobbying disclosures had happened on our council. While the WHWCNC can require disclosure for its meetings\, that disclosure has no teeth for enforcement as it is not an ordinance and does not address the other 98 NCs that similarly serve as elected advisory bodies to the city. \n  \n  \n  \nWe believe the lack of oral lobbyist disclosure requirement leaves many NC board members and attending members of the public at an information disadvantage that should be addressed for the following reasons: \n1) Transparency. We believe every voting member at a board meeting has the right to the knowledge if a lobbyist is speaking on an item for which they are compensated to lobby. \n2) Diffusion of responsibility. A lobbyist may send a correct written disclosure either via mail or email. Still\, often these communications do not go to every board member and attending members of the public. Unless the receiving board member is diligent in passing along these communications\, the possibility exists that other board members and members of the public following the discussion would not know of the lobbyist status of the individual speaking. \n3) Lack of training. NC members do not receive training on identifying or looking up lobbyist activities in the city through the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment. We believe the legal onus should be on the lobbyist to be as upfront and straightforward with the board\, and members of the public attending\, as possible. Additionally\, the responsibility is then on the paid lobbyist rather than the volunteer board member when it comes to the pursuit of this information. \nThe WHWCNC recommends similar verbal lobbying and paid representative disclosures for all city government meetings. Required disclosure announcements at these meetings could be made by the lobbyist or the presiding officer of the meeting. These disclosures would ensure the public is fully aware of the associations of all speakers who are paid lobbyists. NC members and members of the general public frequently listen to city government meetings or recordings of the meetings. Therefore\, we strongly feel that this minor addition would bring greater transparency to city processes. We urge the City Council to adopt this simple change. \nSuggested MLO Improvements. In addition\, the WHWCNC would like to suggest some additional changes that it believes will further improve the Municipal Lobbying Ordinance for the benefit of all levels of City government and members of the public: \n\nThe City Council should adopt a non-profit exemption of $200\,000 in revenue or $500\,000 in assets instead of the proposed $2\,000\,000. This change aligns with the IRS tax filing system and would allow any non-profit that files a 990-N or 990-EZ to gain exemption. This change also reflects the current San Francisco ethics ordinance. The current recommendation of $2 million in revenue is far too high and would exempt most non-profits in Southern California. Only 16% of Southern California non-profits have revenues above $1 million\, so an exemption set at twice that amount would adversely impact transparency.\nThe MLO should incorporate a provision requiring at the time of oral and written disclosures of a lobbyist\, representative\, member\, agent\, or employee of an IRC 501(c) (3)\, (4)\, (5) or (6) organization communicating with a City of LA entity a list of that organization’s “major donors.” “Major donor” is defined as contributing more than 5% of the annual funding to the organization during any 12 consecutive months during the preceding 48 months.\n\nEmbedded Links in the above document: \nhttps://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=22-0560 \nhttps://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2022/22-0560_misc_5-05-22.pdf \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) President\, Joyce Fletcher \n(22-074) Budget Request – LA Congress of Neighborhood Councils  \n  \nDiscussion and possible action: \n  \nMotion for the board to approve funding for $500.00 from the 2022-2023 Budget to be a Silver Sponsor \nof the 2022 Los Angeles Congress of Neighborhood Councils to be held on Saturday\, September 24\, 2022 via zoom.

It received lengthy multi-round stakeholder and lobbyist comments and expert commentary on construction\, engineering\, building codes\, and building fire safety. Upon discussion\, WHIP\, by a unanimous vote\, recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) adopt the following Community Impact Statement as its own\, and submit it to Council File 19-0603\, the Los Angeles City Council Members\, the City Council PLUM Committee\, the LA Department of \n  \nBuilding and Safety\, the LA City Ethics Commission\, the LA Fire Department\, the Woodland Hills Homeowners Organization\, the Warner Center Association and the West Valley Chamber of Commerce. \nThis action joins with the Neighborhood Councils of Mission Hills\, South Robertson\, Hollywood United\, Encino\, North Westwood\, Los Feliz\, Central Hollywood\, Eagle Rock\, Reseda\, North Hollywood\,  Studio City\, Silverlake\, and Downtown Los Angeles plus the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance\, which have already passed motions opposing the impacts of Council File: 19–0603\, which includes an action to retain and expand of Fire District 1. \nPlease see the attached and posted (10) page motion.                               Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (9) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-049) Community Impact Statement (CIS) – Council File 21-1431 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (15 minutes) \n  \nCIS Supporting the City Councils efforts to clarify wording and intent to require a net increase in affordable housing units [AHU] beyond AHUs replaced when granting AHU incentives for a replacement building.   \nThe WHIP Committee submits the following CIS regarding support for the City Council’s action in Council File 21-1431 to clarify City Policy concerning how many affordable housing units are required for a project asking for incentives to get them to provide affordable residential units. Due to unclear drafting by the State legislature of two bills\, an interpretation by the City Attorney has contributed to City Departments not requiring developers to include as many affordable units as intended. WHIP asks the WHWCNC board to adopt the CIS as its own and send it to City officials as indicated. \n  \nSuppose a developer demolishes five (5) affordable residential units to create a new multi-family building. The law says these have to be replaced as affordable housing units. The developer also seeks incentives\, such as additional height or reduced setbacks if the developer provides some specified number of affordable housing units. Hypothetically\, in exchange for a taller building\, the project must provide three (3) affordable units to the project to add to the City’s stock of affordable units. \nCurrently\, the City Attorney’s interpretation allows the three required incentive units to count toward the required five replacement units\, so the developer only provides five affordable units. \n  \nThe intention of the separately enacted State laws is to replace 5 units demolished and incentivize adding 3 more affordable units to result in a total of 8 affordable units. \n  \nThis CIS supports a City Policy that would require the whole total number of affordable units along with other tenant protections as was intended\, so that there is a net gain in units from what previously existed. \n  \nCommunity Impact Statement               Council File: 21-1431 \n  \nSB 8 / Occupant Protection Provisions Extension / SB 330 Housing Preservation / California Government Code Section 66300 / Proposed Housing Development Projects / Application and Permit Process \nRegarding Council File 21-1431\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee finds that; \nWHEREAS\, Council File #21-1431\, carried by Councilmembers Bonin\, Raman\, and Harris-Dawson\, seeks to correct a wording error contained in SB 8\, effective January 1\, 2022; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City Council adopted the HOUSING COMMITTEE REPORT on January 26\, 2022; and \n  \n  \nWHEREAS\, California Senate Bill 330 (SB330)\, “The Housing Crisis Act of 2019” (HCA)\, contains provisions that provide tenants protections for units that are “protected units” that low-income tenants occupy. These rental units are or were\, within the five years prior\, covenanted as rent-stabilized units\, subject to any form of rent or price control within the five (5) years past\, or that were withdrawn from rent or lease per the Ellis Act\, within the past ten (10) years; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB330 gives Occupants of Protected Units additional protections\, including the right of First Refusal in any new development; relocation benefits and replacement of units of comparable size and price for low-income tenants; and the ability to remain in their residential units until six (6) months before the commencement of construction of the new housing development; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB 330 provides for the sunset of the State Bill on January 1\, 2025; and\, \nWHEREAS\, effective January 1\, 2022\, Senate Bill 8 (SB8)\, extends the provisions of SB 330 (the HCA) to January 1\, 2034. SB8 clarifies that SB330 intended to apply to proposed housing development projects consisting of one or more units (including units requiring no discretionary approval and those requiring discretionary approval). However\, it also provides that the HCA shall only apply to a housing development project that submits a preliminary application before January 1\, 2030. This language was a drafting error that\, per the City Attorney\, limits the types of housing development projects upon which the City may apply the replacement obligations and tenant protections; and\, \nWHEREAS\, Council File #21-1431 seeks correction of the drafting error. The action directs the City Attorney and the Department of Planning to draft an ordinance that includes an urgency clause. The intention requires the replacement obligations and occupant protection of SB330 and SB8 to apply to Housing Development Projects that submit a complete application; file a complete set of building plans for plan check and permit; or receive a project or permit approval after January 1\, 2022. This action eliminates any gap inapplicability of the replacement obligations and occupant protections\, prevents the loss of replacement units and their protections\, and consistently maintains the application of replacement obligations and occupant protection as both Senate Bills intended; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee moves that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council support the adoption of a Los Angeles City Ordinance that provides the consistency of tenant protections and obligations provided for in both SB 330 and SB 8 as proposed in Council File #21-1431. \nFURTHERMORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the WHWCNC submit this CIS presented to the WHWCNC Board and approved on April 9\, 2022\, to the City Clerk of Los Angeles and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield. \n  \nItem No. (10) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair \n(22-050) Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375 \nPrince of Peace Church\, West Valley Food Pantry \n5700 Rudnick Street\, Woodland Hills CA \n  \nDiscussion and possible action                                                                       (20 minutes) \n  \nPrince of Peace Church/West Valley Food Pantry\, located at 5700 Rudnick Street in Woodland Hills\, submitted a Conditional Use Permit application to construct a 1-story 6\,646 sq. ft. building in 2 phases to house a commercial-size kitchen\, food storage\, offices\, multipurpose rooms\, and vehicular food distribution. \nPhase 1 will consist of a 4\,390 sq. ft. building to contain a warehouse\, two open work rooms and three office spaces\, restrooms\, and various associated utility rooms and a new north parking lot. \nPhase 2 will add an additional 2\,256 sq. ft. to the building which will contain two community rooms\, a small office and an 852 sq. ft. commercial-size kitchen. \n  \n  \n  \nAfter holding three (3) virtual public teleconference meetings\, including committee discussion\, regarding City Planning Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375\, the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee [PLUM] finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the existing Conditional Use Permits issued for the church property do not authorize use of the property for Food Pantry activities; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project site is zoned A1\, which prohibits any use that disrupts and is inconsistent with the neighborhood’s residential character; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the current and proposed food distribution hours are 9:30 am. to 2:00 pm Monday thru Thursday and 9:30 am. to noon on Friday. The applicant states\, in the application\, that the primary purpose of the expansion is for the continued existing social services that occur from 7:00 am. to 2:30 pm.

WHA serves as the local home middle school for much of the community we serve. \n  \nDirectly across the street to the West of WHA is the area called Warner Center. This 11\,000-acre regional center is designated as a high-density residential and commercial “downtown for the San Fernando Valley”. \n  \nThe City’s General Plan’s Housing Element and the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan allows mixed-used neighborhoods limited to 26\,048 residential units. In the first seven years (by 2020)\, 60% of the limit (15\,557) was built or entitled. Currently\, thousands of these units are under construction or just completed resulting in many new families moving in or soon will be. Families with children translate into new students for the local community schools\, like WHA across the street\, this school year and next. This demand for school seats will only increase in the next few years as additional projects are built\, and more families move in. For example\, in 2021\, at Burbank and De Soto\, roughly 1\,500 from WHA\, a significant project was entitled for 1\,029 residential units. Several blocks away at Oxnard & Topanga\, another project was approved for 1\,400 units. Closer to WHA\, at the old Fry’s site on Canoga\, a project with 850 residential units in the design stage has come before the WHWCNC. \n  \nWith these large projects coming online or in development\, the remaining 10\,491 residential units allowed for by the 2035 master plan are now expected to be built or entitled by 2029. This means LAUSD must be working with the community to make and execute strategies to add capacity at local Woodland Hills schools for the increased enrollment demands that will only grow the balance of this decade. LAUSD would be negligent in compromising local home school enrolment capacity at the very time it is needed by collocating a charter school on campuses like WHA. \n  \nWHA is attempting to recover from the devastating effects of COVID\, including recruiting back families to the school. Having a co-located facility will deter these efforts and greatly overburden an already overtaxed faculty and staff. \n  \nThe WHA campus is too small to accommodate a co-location and does not have an area to separate the two schools. \n  \nWHA is a small school with a safe campus. Adding students from another school will cause disruption and traffic issues that directly conflict with the safety plan of Woodland Hills Academy. \n  \nFaculty\, staff\, parents\, and students work together under their governance model; Expanded School-Based Management\, to develop students’ enrollment\, curriculum\, and course offerings. A co-located campus sharing resources will jeopardize their efforts to advance Woodland Hills Academy as specialized classrooms and other needed resources will be lost to the co-located charter. \n  \nTherefore: \n  \nFor all the above reasons stated herein\, the WHWCNC strongly opposes any LAUSD plan or offer to collocate a charter school on the WHA campus or do anything that limits the capacity or resources of any LAUSD Woodland Hills school. Instead\, the WHWCNC asks that LAUSD engage with its Woodland Hills school site’s staff\, parents\, students\, and the greater community to make its local home schools everyone’s first choice to educate its youth and those adults seeking vocational skills. \n  \nSee posted support document                                                                         Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (11) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Dena Weiss \n(22-039) Funding for up to (30) WHWCNC Board Member Lawn Signs  \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to approve to $821.25 from Budget 2021-2022 Line Item (General Outreach) for the purchase of 30 lawn signs to be placed on lawns of members of the Board\, who wish to do so. These signs will be further developed and designed (City logo will be added) per the attached template and can be customized to add individual’s names\, area representative designation\, WHWCNC phone number and WHWCNC email address if requested. Or they can be plain. It is recognized that some board members may not want to have signs in their yards. However\, as elected officials of the local stakeholders\, it is anticipated that the demand will be there to alert the stakeholders that a representative is in their neighborhood to listen to their needs and suggestions. Total cost $821.25 at $25 per lawn sign (plus wire stake) made by vendor by Rivas Enterprises. See attachment.  This breaks down to a cost of $750 plus tax.
