Discussion and possible action: (5 minutes)
At the December 12, 2022, meeting of the WHWCNC, held on an earlier than normal meeting day to maximize board member attendance during the holiday season, the board passed (18 Aye-0 Nay-0 Abstentions-6 Ineligible) a substitute motion made by August Steurer regarding In-N-Out Burger’s plans to build a new restaurant with drive-thru facility at 22822 Ventura Boulevard, one block West of Fallbrook Avenue [December 12 Agenda Seq. No. 2022 NC 22-117Agenda item #11]. At the next meeting of the Board on January 11, 2023, the Board President and Chair of the full Board meeting Dena Weiss announced she was in receipt of public comments from stakeholders who said they will be affected by the proposed project but were not informed of the board’s earlier than normal meeting date and therefore missed the opportunity to provide their input to the board before it acted. In addition, the Board received the same information from Stakeholders during public comment.
In response to this information, in accordance with the NC’s Bylaws and City Procedure August Steurer, the original passed motion maker and prevailing side voter, made a motion to the Chair to have this motion placed on the agenda for reconsideration. Heath Kline, another affirmative voter for the approved motion seconded the request.
The Chair said she would accept the request and a vote (20 Aye-1 Nay-1 Abstain-4 Ineligible) was held; the motion passed. Following procedural guidance from the NC Parliamentarian Leslie Simon, and Neighborhood Empowerment Advocate Marilu Guevara to have follow up action placed on the February Board agenda, now August Steurer and Heath Kline come before the Board and bring the following Motion to Reconsider in the form of a Substitute Motion as is permitted:
The Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) having voted (20 Aye-1 Nay-1 Abstain-4 Ineligible) at the January 11, 2023 Board meeting to accept placing a Motion to Reconsider a previous action (approval of Case No. ZA-2022-2788-CU-SPP-SPR-WDI: New IN-N-OUT restaurant with drive-thru at 22822 Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills, CA 91364) hereby votes to Reconsider and vacate the original action, and rescind that approval from 12/12/23, and directs that Case No. ZA-2022-2788-CU-SPP-SPR-WDI be sent back to the WHWCNC PLUM Committee for further input and discussion by both the neighborhood community, and the Applicant.

Items Nos. (5) & (6) WHIP Chair, Heath Kline
(23-007 & 23-008) Two Board CISs
The WHIP committee brings before the full Board of the WHWCNC the following two motions asking for the NC to go on record in support of the City of Los Angeles seeking modification to the California Ralph M Brown Public Meetings Act to allow Neighborhood Councils to continue to meet virtually as they were able to do under AB361 during the COVID health emergency and to meet in a hybrid virtual-in-person method that may be within a NC’s abilities in the future, that they are not able to do under the now controlling California AB2449 regulations.
WHIP brings these motions to the Board after extended review of the City’s CF position and CIS responses filed by other NCs, and public input on the CF. Plus WHIP’s own extensive discussion over two meetings including extended public comment received by the committee.
To facilitate understanding of the motions and Board and public comment discussion of the topics please review the following two PDF documents that are posted with this agenda:
CF-23-0002-S16 Amend Brown Act Martinez.pdf
CF-23-0002-S17 Amend Brown Act Blumenefield.pdf

Item No. (5) WHIP Chair, Heath Kline
(23-007) Board CIS regarding City Council File 23-0002-S16 (just) Los Angeles Neighborhood Council System / Virtual Remote Meetings / Ralph M. Brown Act Amendment
Discussion and possible action: (15 minutes)
The WHIP Committee of the WHWCNC voted to recommend that the full NC Board adopt the following motion as its own and then so inform by CIS filing and correspondence the City Council, Mayor, and other elected officials and staff who can help implement the changes called for in the Ralph M Brown Act to allow Neighborhood Councils [NCs] and their sub-committees the options to continue to meet virtually in a hybrid or entirely virtual fashion as they were permitted to do under the COVID health emergency:

[Vote: (2) Yea, (1) Nea, (1) Absent]

Council File 23-0002-S16 (Los Angeles Neighborhood Council System / Remote Meetings / Ralph M. Brown Act Amendment)

WHEREAS, Council File 23-0002-S16 supports more access to the neighborhood council process for Angelenos, with far more members of the public participating in each meeting from the convenience of their own homes and workplaces, while commuting and fulfilling caregiver obligations. Our and other NCs benefit from participants who find themselves outside the boundaries of their NC, ranging from a few miles to temporary travel out-of-state and even out of the country, creating more equity and fostering the vitality of our local communities and democracy; and

WHEREAS, the 99 Neighborhood Councils in Los Angeles each have unique communities, needs, technology abilities, access to public meeting spaces; and

WHEREAS, in-person meetings may jeopardize the health and safety of vulnerable Angelenos due to ongoing exposure to COVID-19 and other personal health situations, such as being immunocompromised; and

WHEREAS, it is not realistic or financially viable to expect the all-volunteer Neighborhood Council system to be able to carry out “hybrid” meetings as permitted under AB 2449 effectively due to the limitations imposed on the NC Board as a whole, such as a requirement to establish a quorum in person in a publicly accessible ADA compliant facility within the boundaries of the NC when no such venue may be available to the NC. Likewise, imposing impractical, if not impossible, standards for individual NC Board members, such as not recognizing travel for “business” as an acceptable reason to participate remotely or the requirements to be on camera and only miss two in-person meetings annually (Should those requirements disqualify a businessperson or breastfeeding mother from serving on an NC Board?) in addition to budget and technology limitations; and

THEREFORE, the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS the City Council action and the Mayor’s concurrence in Council File 23-0002-S16.
See posted support document Roll Call Vote
Item No. (6) WHIP Chair, Heath Kline
(23-008) Board CIS regarding City Council File 23-0002-S17 Local Legislative Bodies (including NCs) Hybrid & Virtual Meetings / Ralph M. Brown Act Amendment
Discussion and possible action: (15 minutes)
The WHIP Committee of the WHWCNC unanimously voted to recommend that the full NC Board adopt the following motion as its own and then so inform by CIS filing and correspondence the City Council, Mayor, and other elected officials and staff who can help implement the changes called for in the Ralph M Brown Act to allow Neighborhood Councils [NCs] and their sub-committees the options to continue to meet virtually in a hybrid or entirely virtual fashion as they were permitted to do under the COVID health emergency:

[Vote: (3) Yea, (0) Nea, (1) Absent]

Council File 23-0002-S17 (Local Legislative Bodies / Virtual Meetings / Ralph M. Brown Act Amendment)

WHEREAS, Council File 23-0002-S17 supports more access to the neighborhood council process for Angelenos, with far more members of the public participating in each meeting from the convenience of their own homes and workplaces, while commuting and fulfilling caregiver obligations. Our and other NCs benefit from participants who find themselves outside the boundaries of their NC, ranging from a few miles to temporary travel out-of-state and even out of the country, creating more equity and fostering the vitality of our local communities and democracy; and

WHEREAS, how the Brown Act applies to the broader City Boards and Commissions remains to be looked at by our Neighborhood Council, and while we currently approve the resolution, we reserve the right to make further comment on Council File 23-0002-S17 and how it affects in-person and virtual meetings of City Boards and Commissions other than Neighborhood Councils; and

THEREFORE, the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS the City Council action and the Mayor’s concurrence in Council File 23-0002-S17.

Agenda Items for Discussion and Possible Action by the Committee:

Item No (A) WHIP Chair Heath Kline

Board CIS “Against Unless Amended” City Council File 22-0247 and Council File 22-0247-S1, 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:
Discussion and possible action:
WHEREAS; 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.
Therefore 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:

None of the land of the Dog Park is taken for the bike path.
No trees, especially shade trees, in or adjacent to the Dog Park are removed.
The Dog Park is not closed during construction.
The 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.
The 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.
The 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.
Before 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.
It is also suggested that lights be put into the Dog Park.
The 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
Item No (B) WHIP Chair Heath Kline Council File 19-0002-S101:

Board 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:”
Discussion and possible Action:
Therefore 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.

3. Discussion and possible action: (CF 23-0167)
The urban environment is a web of natural and built features interacting daily. Whether it’s the sun beating down on streets and sidewalks; or rain running off asphalt and saturated lawns into gutters, these daily workings of life in a city are all surrounded by an important piece of green infrastructure – trees.
Trees are combatants of the urban heat island effect, providing necessary shade to streetscapes. Trees are interceptors of rainwater, providing stormwater retention for overloaded drainage systems. Trees are absorbers of air and water pollutants, improving health and wellness in neighborhoods, and they are beautiful green canopies housing wildlife and improving the character of communities.
In the City of Los Angeles, the Urban Forestry Division manages nearly 700,000 street trees growing along 6,500 miles of public roads, making the City’s street tree population the largest urban forest in the nation. Having the largest urban forest does not come without its share of problems. The conflicts between tree roots and sidewalks in Los Angeles are widespread, resulting in recurring expenses for repair and even at times, tree removals. In 2016, the City settled a $1.4 billion class action lawsuit, commonly known as the “Willits Settlement,” that determined the City’s crumbling sidewalk infrastructure was not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and prevented people with disabilities from traveling and accessing opportunities in Los Angeles. This legal action led the City to develop the “Sidewalk Repair Program,” which as of today is the only program for sidewalks in the City. In an effort to comply with the Willits Settlement, the City prepared a comprehensive EIR that supported the need to remove some 13,000 street trees. However, in late January 2023, the Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that the EIR failed to thoroughly examine the impacts to wildlife and the environmental consequences of trading mature trees for young replacement trees.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Bureau of Street Services, in coordination with the Urban Forestry Division and the City Forest Officer, to report back on sustainable solutions and best practices to sidewalk repairs, implemented by other cities, that preserve our City’s mature street trees while ensuring safe sidewalks.
I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer, and all other relevant departments, to report back on the steps necessary, or already underway, to secure federal funding under the urban forestry program of the new infrastructure bill.
Roll Call Vote

4. Discussion and possible action: (CF 22-1313) Rehousing Strategy / People Living in RVs / Street Engagement Strategy / Street Encampments / RV Dwelling / Safe Parking / Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)
MOTION – HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY The most recent Point-in-Time Count data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) indicate that nearly 6,500 people experiencing homelessness in the City are living in a total of about 4,000 recreational vehicles (RVs). That number, which has grown by 40% since 2018, represents 22% of the City’s total unsheltered homeless population.

All too often, RVs used as dwellings on LA’s streets are in grave disrepair, meaning that people living in them face unsanitary and sometimes dangerous conditions. Many residents of RV s also lack access to adequate hygiene facilities. A number of the individuals who live in RVs actually make substantial rent payments to the vehicle’s owner, paying out hundreds of dollars each month for precarious and substandard housing. RVs have also posed challenges for the neighborhoods in which they are located related to the release of untreated effluent into streets or stormwater drains, increased risk of fires (especially from external generators), and other public safety concerns. Since 2010, the City’s primary response to vehicular homelessness-particularly in RVs-has been a reactive one, not one that focuses on resolving homelessness for inhabitants of RVs. The City has used LAMC 80.69.4, a law that allows the City to prohibit the parking of oversized vehicles (those over 84 inches high and 22 feet long) between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m on specific streets. Through Council action, hundreds of streets have been added every year to the list of streets where oversized vehicle parking is prohibited. In addition to street-specific oversized vehicle bans, people who live in RVs on city streets must comply with rules that prohibit staying in one parking spot for more than 72 hours. Vehicles that violate this rule can be ticketed and towed. During the pandemic, the City paused ticketing and towing of vehicles with people living in them in accordance with CDC guidelines to allow people experiencing homelessness to shelter in place-safely, but in April of this year, the City Council voted to resume parking enforcement for vehicles used as dwellings.
This enforcement-based approach to addressing RVs, however, has proven to be largely ineffective. Often, RV dwellers move their vehicles to other streets in response to a ticket or an oversized vehicle prohibition, meaning that these bans simply move people experiencing homelessness from one street to another. Additionally, the City’s capacity to enforce the new rules around RV dwelling is extremely limited-and likely to remain so- because of the lack of vendors and tow yard space to tow and impound oversized vehicles. It is clear that the City needs to come up with a more effective and holistic response to vehicular homelessness.
In the proposed 2022-23 California budget, Governor Newsom has earmarked $300 million for Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grants. Local governments can apply for ERF grants to create projects that serve people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in encampments. In 2022, Council District 4 received an ERF grant of$1,747,115 to rehouse individuals living unsheltered along a 19-mile stretch of the Los Angeles River.
Eligible fund uses include street outreach and engagement, housing navigation, interim and permanent housing, capacity building, activities to ensure sustained outcomes for people served, and funding for the restoration of encampment sites. The likely expansion of this flexible funding stream presents a promising opportunity to secure funds to support a City-wide, comprehensive approach to addressing RV homelessness effectively.

5. Discussion and possible action: (CF 17-0090-S19)
Proposition HHH Funded Projects / Unhoused Veterans / Area Median Income (AMI) Limits / Lease-up Hardships
The General Manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) respectfully requests that your office review and approve this transmittal, and forward it to the City Council for further consideration. Significant efforts have been made to develop Proposition HHH funded projects that serve unhoused veterans. As HHH projects complete construction and are ready to be occupied, units reserved for veterans are experiencing longer leasing timelines compared to non-veteran units. Through this transmittal, LAHD requests authority to increase income limits for veteran units to more expediently house veterans in HHH funded projects. Since HHH funds were awarded, significant efforts have been focused on housing homeless veterans. However, veteran-serving HHH projects that have completed construction and become ready for occupancy have taken significantly longer to lease up than non- veteran projects.
The delays in leasing HHH units serving veterans have been connected to overlapping eligibility restrictions, income limits that are too low, and the multiple housing alternatives available to veterans. These lease-up challenges are detailed below. LAHD has consulted with VA representatives, management companies and service providers on this issue. They concur that veterans without tenant- based vouchers will elect to remain unhoused while waiting for a housing opportunity with their preferred location, unit size, and amenities. Many veterans would prefer to live near the services that are offered on the VA campus in West Los Angeles, also the location of the VA hospital. The VA has also shared that the units most in demand are one-bedroom units that are near amenities, have parking spaces, and allow pets. In contrast, projects experiencing lease-up hardships include projects in or near Downtown Los Angeles, projects with studio units, and other project types such as motel conversions.

The City of Los Angeles’s Bureau of Street Services needs to ensure it does all that it can to keep our tree canopy in place, so as to not make the heat effects even worse.

Roll call voteDiscussion and possible action:Council File: 23-0423 – City-Funded Homeless Shelter Sites / Bed Occupancy Data /Demographic Data / Eligibility Requirements / Services Offered / Intake / Referrals / Los AngelesHomeless Services Authority (LAHSA)During the COVID-19 emergency, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)provided daily occupancy reports for Project Roomkey sites to City partners. These reportswere utilized to ensure that beds could be filled as quickly as possible and allowed Cityoffices to monitor progress on Project Roomkey’s demobilization as the program was ending.As the City continues to make investments in interim housing and shelter sites, Cityemployees and the public have a continuing need to access and understand the availability ofshelter beds. This information is key to promoting transparency within the shelter system,shining a light on what is currently an opaque placement process and clarifying distinctionsbetween different sites in the City and how they are filled. Knowledge of shelter availabilityalso promotes a more effective distribution of this vital, life-saving resource. Such informationpertaining to:• Demographic information about the population(s) the site is able to serve;• Eligibility requirements for entry, such as whether a site accepts walk-ins;• Whether services offered include assessment, referrals, housing matches, residence withina particular catchment area, etc.;• Number and percentage of beds that are occupied;• Number and percentage of beds that are offline, and the reason(s) they are offline;• Number and percentage of beds that are available;• Number of individuals referred to the site; and• Number of intakes scheduled at the site for that day.Roll Call VoteDiscussion and possible action:Council File 23-0429 – Holistic Investment Strategy / Permanent and Interim Housing /Projected Number and Cost(Holistic, definition: Emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of itsparts)In recent years, the City of Los Angeles has pursued a variety of strategies in an effort toaddress homelessness, including significantly increasing our shelter and housing capacity.These have included the passage of Proposition HHH in 2017 to fund 10,000 units ofpermanent supportive housing (PSH), the “Roadmap” agreement the City and Countyreached in 2020 to bring online 6,700 new beds, including both PSH and interim housing, andthe purchase of hundreds of units through the state funded Project Homekey. However, thecurrent rate of investment in both permanent and interim housing still falls short of what isneeded for us to actually meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness on our citystreets. We ask that the City Council direct the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) toreport back in 30 days regarding a holistic investment strategy to create the permanent andinterim housing needed to significantly reduce and ultimately end homelessness in the City ofLos Angeles. The plan should include:• Recommendations on the size of investment needed given the projected size of thepopulation of persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Los Angeles on a year byyear basis;• Recommendations on the housing typologies (permanent and interim) to target for

investment;• Projection of the number of housing units generated by investment;• Projection of additional outside dollars the City will need to leverage; and• Identification of funding gaps.Roll Call VoteDiscussion and possible action:Council file 23-0426 – Affordable Housing / Multilingual Online System / Search andApplicationThe City of Los Angeles has increased its affordable housing supply in recent years, themajority of which has been produced through incentive-based programs like the State DensityBonus and Transit Oriented Communities Incentive programs. Yet, residents of Los Angeleswho qualify for affordable housing do not currently have a comprehensive and straightforwardmeans of finding and applying for this housing. On September 5, 2016, the City entered into asettlement agreement with the Independent Living Center of Southern California and otherplaintiffs to bring the City into compliance with accessibility requirements for affordablehousing. As a result of the settlement, the City created the Accessible Housing Program(AcHP) to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to rent, use, andenjoy affordable housing that has received financial or other assistance from the City of LosAngeles (City) or the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles(CRA/LA). The Los Angeles Housing Department also launched its Affordable and AccessibleHousing Registry (Registry) in large part due to this settlement.The City Council instructs the Los Angeles Housing Department, with support from any otherrelevant departments, to report back within 45 days with recommendations and a proposedimplementation timeline for creating a comprehensive, multilingual online system that wouldallow potential applicants to search for all available affordable housing in the City of LosAngeles and facilitate and simplify the ability of applicants to apply to such properties basedon their needs, preferences, and qualifications. The system should include all covenantedaffordable units, including privately financed units created through incentive-based programs.The report recommendations should include funding, personnel, contracts, and any otherresources needed to accomplish this work.Roll call voteDiscussion and possible action:Council File 23-0302 – Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) / Housing Authority of the City of LosAngeles / Housing Navigators / Case Managers / Extensions / Appeal ProcessThrough the American Rescue Plan Act, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles(HACLA) was allocated 3,365 Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) to assist individuals andfamilies who are homeless or at risk of homelessness or fleeing domestic violence/humantrafficking with rental assistance.The EHV Dashboard (https://tinyurl.com/dashboardehv) provides updates on leasing, issuanceand unit utilization on voucher awards and funding by Public Housing Authorities, includingHACLA, and as of March 15, 2023, 1,388 EHV participants have leased a unit, and there are2,625 EHV participants with vouchers not yet leased. After September 30, 2023 EHVs will not bere-issued, and there is an urgency to assist individuals with EHVs with housing navigation andlease up.Housing navigators and housing case managers assisting EHV participants often are only able tocommunicate with HACLA case managers via email and when HACLA case managers change,housing navigators/case managers assisting EHV participants have had to experience sendingdocuments multiple times to different HACLA case managers, causing additional delays. Housing

navigators/case managers have experienced ambiguity and inconsistency in HACLA’s processrelated to appealing or correcting decisions made and for requesting EHV extensions. Mostimportantly, housing navigators/case managers nor EHV participants are notified in advance ofexpiring EHVs or that EHVs have expired.The City Council requests a HACLA to report within 15 days on improving communicationbetween HACLA case managers and EHV participants and the housing navigators/casemanagers inclusive of addressing staff transition, a more responsive appeals process, updates onpending status, notification for expiring EHVs, and additional ways to contact HACLA staffRoll call voteADJOURNMENTAs a covered entity under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of LosAngeles does not discriminate on the basis of disability and upon request will providereasonable accommodation to ensure equal access to its programs, services, andactivities.
