The WHIP Committee after review of the attached document PRESERVE THE SEPULVEDA BASIN DOG PARK\, written by Miriam Preissel\, President of the Sepulveda Basin Off Leash Dog Park wherein she outlines the problem that will occur at the Sepulveda Basin Off Leash Dog Park and the adjacent parking area for the dog park (East of White Oak on between Victory on the North\, and the LA River on the South) if the City proceeds with its plans to create a new bike path between the dog park on north and the river on the south that will compromise the dog park and the dog park parking lot and put dogs and people at risk unnecessarily when there is a viable alternative to route the bike path on the south side of the river\, that was not explored adequately and once again the city is taking a significant action without input from effected stakeholders or Neighborhood Councils. \nTherefore it is RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] Issues & Policies Committee [WHIP] recommends that the WHWCNC Board pass a resolution and file a CIS “Against Unless Amended” for Council File 22-0247\, entitled “Los Angeles River Valley Bikeway and Greenway / Vanalden Avenue / Balboa Boulevard / Mitigated Negative Declaration Certification.”  The amendments requested are to preserve the Sepulveda Basin Dog Park in the following regards: \n\nNone of the land of the Dog Park is taken for the bike path.\nNo trees\, especially shade trees\, in or adjacent to the Dog Park are removed.\nThe Dog Park is not closed during construction.\nThe bike path has sufficient separation from the Dog Park so that dogs in the park will not chase bikes along the fence line\, causing injury to other dogs or people in the Dog Park.\nThe parking lot for the Dog Park is not used as an entry or exit for the bike path\, which will cause bikes and pedestrians walking or running through the parking lot to interfere with dog owners getting their dogs into and out of the Dog Park.  This is a safety issue; dogs may try to chase bike riders in the parking lot\, causing injury to people and dogs.\nThe parking lot for the Dog Park\, which is already insufficient for users of the Dog Park during certain times\, not be used as a parking lot for bike riders and walkers on the bike path.  Users of the Dog Park already must park on grass areas during times of peak use.\nBefore any plan for the bike path is approved and before construction begins\, users of the Dog Park\, the organization Friends of the Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park\, as well as the impacted Neighborhood Councils\, in the central and western San Fernando Valley\, including the WHWCNC\, should be given an opportunity to provide input\, at a town hall or other meeting\, because this is the only dog park that serves these regions. Hundreds of local residents regularly use the Dog Park and have not been given an adequate opportunity to provide input.  There are alternatives to the current plan which have been developed by users of the Dog Park\, such as continuing the bike path south of the Los Angeles River\, which have not been given a hearing.\nIt is also suggested that lights be put into the Dog Park.\nThe letter from Friends of the Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park will be attached to the Community Impact Statement.Reference Letter: https://whcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Ref-LetterOnDogPark.pdf\nItem No (B) WHIP Chair Heath Kline Council File 19-0002-S101:\n\nBoard CIS “Against Unless Amended” City Council File 19-0002-S101 entitled “China\, Vietnam\, South Korea\, Cambodia and Indonesia Sale of Dog Meat / Animal Cruelty Laws Enforcement:”  \nDiscussion and possible Action: \nTherefore it is RESOLVED:  The Woodland Hills – Warner Center  Issues & Policies Committee (WHWNC WHIP) requests that the WHWCNC Board pass a resolution for a Community Impact Statement (CIS) “For” Council File 19-0002-S101\, which was passed by the Los Angeles City Council and signed by the Mayor\, requesting the governments of China\, Vietnam\, South Korea\, Cambodia\, and Indonesia to ban the sale of dog meat and to enforce their animal cruelty laws. \n\n Committee Future Meeting(s) & Possible issues\nDiscussion on future Committee meeting agendas acting to set date for the next meeting.\n\nIssue suggestions are posted when available on the whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n Adjournment of Meeting\n\nMeeting dates for the 2021-2022 year: Committee holds meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.

See examples set forth in the attached letter. [link]. The table should show the projected rate increases for both Zone 1 and Zone 2 (high consumption areas of the SFV) ratepayers.  Furthermore\, the WHWCNC asks that the LADWP widely disseminate these updated table showing projected rate increases in advance of any future rate increases through billing inserts\, email and text alerts\, social media and print and broadcast media campaigns in sufficient time for the public to provide input before any rate increases are put into effect. \nThe WHWCNC will inform the Board of Commissioners of the LADWP\, DWP Management\, the LADWP Rate Payer Advocate\, the Mayor and City Council of this position. \nOffered Substitution: \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 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 this position. \n6.           Animal Services Volunteers Termination (Reconsideration of adopted motion)\nReconsideration and possible action to adopt a substitute motion adopted at the previous meeting on August 25th. \nReconsideration of: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following motion: \nWHEREAS the Los Angeles Times\, as well as other news outlets\, have run stories very critical of the Animal Services Department and conditions for animals in the City Animal Shelters\, for example: \n‘It’s Inhumane’: Dogs At L.A. Animal Shelters Go Weeks Or Months Without Being Walked: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-14/la-city-animal-shelters-dogs-sit-in-kennels-weeks-months-without-walks \n‘Horrified’: L.A. City Council Members Call For Action On Overcrowded Animal Shelters: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-16/l-a-city-council-members-called-for-action-city-shelters \nLA Animal Services Officials Blame Staff Shortage\, Pandemic Challenges For Issues At City Shelters: https://abc7.com/animal-shelters-la-city-council-concerns-emergency-meeting/12061158/ \n; and\, \nWHEREAS\, Volunteers who spoke with the press and others about conditions at the City Animal Shelters have been suspended or terminated; and\, \nWHEREAS\, This harms the animals who are deprived of the essential care given by these Volunteers\, making the conditions exposed in these articles even worse; and\, \nWHEREAS\, This may likely being a First Amendment violation subjecting the City to potential liability; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The problems at the City Shelters have been brought up at the Board of Animal Services Commissioners (BASC) meetings for many months\, to no avail\, because\, for the most part\, the BASC and Department Management did little or nothing to fix the problems; and\, \nWHEREAS\, Recently\, the Commissioners have taken steps to severely limit public comment\, and to prevent Neighborhood Council resolutions and Community Impact Statement from being heard at their meetings; and\, \nWHEREAS\,  Commissioners and Animal Services Department management have ignored complaints of Shelter Volunteers\, who care deeply about the animals and needed to speak to the press\, newspapers and television news\, about what is going on at the Shelters; and\, \nWHEREAS\, In a further attempt to cover-up conditions at the Shelters\, the Animal Services Department management\, with the apparent approval of the Commissioners\, have suspended and terminated Volunteers\, in an attempt to intimidate Volunteers into silence; \nTHEREFORE\, The Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council RESOLVE\, that it strongly condemns the suspension or termination of Volunteers for speaking with the press about conditions in the City Animal Shelters or exercising their First Amendment rights and the actions be investigated and the volunteers reinstated. \nOffered Substitution: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee [WHIP] recommends the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council to adopt the following CIS and submit it to the following three City Council files: \nCouncil File 22-1111-S10 Personnel\, Audits\, and Animal Welfare Committee Meetings / Public Comment / Communication(s) from Public / 2022 (NO MOTION ATTACHED – only a general public comment file) \nCouncil File 22-0943 Department of Animal Services / Animal Shelters / Budgetary Needs (AGAINST UNLESS AMENDED) \nCouncil File 20-1177 Glue LLC / Marketing\, Fundraising\, Public Relations and Website Development and Management Services / Contract  (AGAINST) \nDRAFT CIS \nLike most Angelenos\, members of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council were appalled and disappointed by the reports in the Los Angeles Times [link to LAT] of mistreatment and neglect of animals in the care of the Department of Animal Services. 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. News media news 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 of 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 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. \n7.  Privatization of Northeast Valley Animal Shelter built with Public Funds\nItem continued from August 25\, 2022. \nOffered Motion: \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 RFP (Request for Proposal) to do just that\, lease the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter to rescue organizations to operate; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Board of Animal Services Commissioners and Animal Services Department did not provide an opportunity for the affected Neighborhood Councils to provide input into this decision\, the Department of Animal Services and City Council should receive input from the affected Neighborhood Councils before releasing the Request for Proposal for rescue organizations to operate the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The RFP was released without input from the affected Neighborhood Councils; 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 (Request for Proposal) until it is determined if this can be done. \n8.

Animal Shelters Go Weeks Or Months Without Being Walked: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-14/la-city-animal-shelters-dogs-sit-in-kennels-weeks-months-without-walks \n‘Horrified’: L.A. City Council Members Call For Action On Overcrowded Animal Shelters: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-07-16/l-a-city-council-members-called-for-action-city-shelters \nLA Animal Services Officials Blame Staff Shortage\, Pandemic Challenges For Issues At City Shelters: https://abc7.com/animal-shelters-la-city-council-concerns-emergency-meeting/12061158/ \nVolunteers who spoke with the press and others about conditions at the City Animal Shelters have been suspended or terminated. As well as likely being a First Amendment violation subjecting the City to potential liability\, this harms the animals who are deprived of the essential care given by these Volunteers\, making the conditions exposed in these articles even worse. \n  \nThe problems at the City Shelters have been brought up at the Board of Animal Services Commissioners (BASC) meetings for many months\, to no avail.  For the most part\, the BASC and Department Management did little or nothing to fix the problems.  And recently\, the Commissioners have taken steps to severely limit public comment\, and to prevent Neighborhood Council resolutions and Community Impact Statement from being heard at their meetings. \nSo it’s no wonder that Shelter Volunteers\, who care deeply about the animals\, spoke to the press\, newspapers and television news\, about what is going on at the Shelters.  The Commissioners and Animal Services Department management were ignoring their complaints.  In a further attempt to cover-up conditions at the Shelters\, the Animal Services Department management\, with the apparent approval of the Commissioners\, have suspended and terminated Volunteers\, in an attempt to intimidate Volunteers into silence. \nThe above resolution passed with 17 in favor\, 3 abstentions.  (Only one representative from each Neighborhood Council is allowed to vote.) \n  \n\n Northeast Valley Animal Shelter\n\nRESOLVED\, that the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils (VANC)\, representing the 34 Neighborhood Councils throughout the San Fernando Valley\, 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 (Request for Proposal) until it is determined if this can be done. \nIn discussion of the motion and in the Hot Topic #4 explanation attached to the agenda\, it was noted that at last month’s VANC meeting\, we passed the following resolution regarding the Northeast Valley animal shelter: \nThe Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils (VANC) represents the 34 Neighborhood Councils throughout the San Fernando Valley\, including all of the Neighborhood Councils in the vicinity of the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter.  This 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 RFP (Request for Proposal) to do just that\, lease the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter to rescue organizations to operate.  The Board of Animal Services Commissioners and Animal Services Department did not provide an opportunity for the affected Neighborhood Councils to provide input into this decision.  Therefore\, it is RESOLVED that VANC takes the position that the Department of Animal Services and City Council should receive input from the affected Neighborhood Councils before releasing the Request for Proposal for rescue organizations to operate the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter. \nThe RFP was released without input from the affected Neighborhood Councils.  In response to VANC’s motion\, the City Council introduced a resolution (Council File 22-0897\, Koretz and Blumenfield) to amend the City Charter to make sure things like this don’t happen in the future.  The proposed charter amendment would 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. \nBut the Animal Services Commission doesn’t appear to be doing anything to stop the RFP for the Northeast Valley Shelter.  So the resolution above was passed\, 18 in favor\, 3 abstentions. \n\nCOUNCIL FILE 21-1472: NOVEMBER 2022 BALLOT MEASURE FOR INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING\n\nDiscussion with possible action regarding WHWCNC supporting placement of a City Charter Amendment to create more-independent Redistricting Commissions \n8\, Committee consideration of Possible issues for future Committee meeting agendas. \nIssue suggestions posted when available on the whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n Adjournment of Meeting\n\nMeeting dates for the 2021-2022 year: Committee holds meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.

Please note that\, pursuant to Mayoral directives\, proof of Covid-19 vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test within the prior 72 hours will be required to enter the City Hall building\, and indoor masking will be required regardless of vaccination status.” \nAdditional Reference Material posted when available on whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n\n Consideration with possible action for CIS regarding CF 20-0990\, a motion regarding implementation of required training for NC Board and Committee Members.\n\n\nReference Link: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=20-0990 \nThis report back lists seven specific areas of concern that the general manager of DONE wants the committee to consider. The central theme is how to force board members to complete this training\, including allowing the GM to change the bylaws of all NCs to achieve this goal. The GM would have unilateral authority to make all rules and regulations related to this training. The report recommends giving the GM authority over “current and future required trainings” for NCs without limits on the topics of any such training. That means future training on any topic could be mandated by the GM without input from anyone else\, especially the NCs. Other recommendations are to allow the department to not only change bylaws which shall take precedence over any inconsistent language in the Neighborhood Council’s bylaws. That means potentially creating bylaws with incorrect information with no way to fix wording until the next “window of opportunity” to update. The report summary includes references on how to force board members and committee members to take the diversity training as well as gender expression and gender identity training. It proposes that City Council directives require providing the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment with authority to carry them out. This relates to the 7 key items mentioned in the report. \nAdditional Reference Material posted when available on whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n\n Committee consideration of Possible issues for future Committee meeting agendas.\n\n\nIssue suggestions posted when available on the whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n\n Adjournment of Meeting\n\n\nMeeting dates for the 2021-2022 year: Committee holds meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.
