Call to Order\n2. Establish Quorum: \nRoll Call — Heath Kline\, Kathleen Barth\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer \n3. Comments by the Public regarding Issues NOT on the Agenda. \n(2 minutes each) \nCommittee Items for Discussion and Possible Action: \nAll comment is limited to 2 minutes per speaker unless adjusted by the presiding member of the Committee.  \n 4. Motion to support pending changes and suggested additional improvements to the Los Angeles Municipal Lobbying Ordinance [ref: LA CF 22-0560]: \nWHEREAS the WHWCNC WHIP Committee has had experience with paid lobbyists appearing before WHIP trying to influence the position of the Committee and\, in turn\, the WHWCNC Board\, without disclosing they were paid lobbyists. 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 proposed changes to the Los Angeles Municipal Lobbying Ordinance\, including the suggested edits and additions\, and for the full WHWCNC to adopt this position and so inform city officials by filing the following Community Impact Statement: \nDRAFT  WHWCNC Community Impact Statement – Municipal Lobbying Ordinance Update\nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] supports the changes 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 the city. \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. \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\nThank you for your consideration of this topic\, \nWoodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council \n5. Committee consideration of possible issues for future Committee meeting agendas. \nIssue suggestions posted when available on the whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n6.

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 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.

The presiding member may impose time limits per each agenda item as needed. \n_______________________________________________________________________________ \nAGENDA \n\n Call to Order\n Establish Quorum: Roll Call — Heath Kline\, Kathleen Barth\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer\n Comments by the Public regarding Issues NOT on the Agenda. \n\n(2 minutes each) \n\n Approval of Available Committee Minutes:  Roll Call Vote\n\nDraft minutes posted when available on whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \nCommittee Items for Discussion and Possible Action:  \nAll comment is limited to 2 minutes per speaker unless adjusted by the presiding member of the Committee. \n\n DWP Rates \n\nConsideration and possible action to Support of Motion from Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils with motion from WHWCNC. \n“The Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils supports the use of the ratepayer categories used in the Water and Power Associates recommendation letter of June 30\,2022 for the purpose of projecting rate increases from the LA100 Power System program for each year into the future where rates are forecast”. \n  \n\n Animal Services Department\n\nDiscussion with possible action regarding WHWCNC Board’s position whether to join in and support of Two resolutions from the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils. \nAt its monthly meeting on August 11\, 2022\, the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils passed the following two resolutions: \n\n Suspension or Termination of Animal Services Department Volunteers.\n\nRESOLVED\, that the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils (VANC)\, representing the 34 Neighborhood Councils throughout the San Fernando Valley\, 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. \nIn discussion of the motion and in the Hot Topic #5 explanation attached to the agenda\, it was noted that in the last month\, 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/ \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. Check the NC website calendar for a complete committee and board meetings list. Meeting dates and times are subject to change.

They do not reflect any formal position of the Neighborhood Council or the City of Los Angeles. \n\nPUBLIC INPUT ON AGENDA ITEMS – The public may address the Committee on any agenda item before the Committee takes action on an item. The Committee will accept comments from the public on agenda items only when the Committee considers the individual item.\nPUBLIC INPUT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA – During the General Public Comment period\, the\n\nCommittee listens to comments from the public on other matters not appearing on the agenda that are within the Committee’s jurisdiction. Please note that the Brown Act prevents the Committee from acting on an issue that you bring to its attention during the General Public Comment period; however\, the issue raised by a public member may become the subject of a future Committee meeting. \nPublic Comments are limited to two (2) minutes per speaker unless adjusted by the presiding member of the Committee.

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.

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.
