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. Check the NC calendar for updated meeting schedules. \nThe next Regular Committee Meeting will be held on September 8\, 2022\, via teleconference.

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.

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.

Currently the LAPD is down 280 officers and there is an increase of crime which ranks Woodland Hills at the top of the increased crime list. \nThese statistics merit the allocation of additional officers to the Topanga Division. \nThese statistics merit a pay increase in terms of hourly rate and / or overtime pay to police officers in the Topanga Division. \nWith such an increase in crime in a specific area\, must come an increase in a police presence to protect our community. \nThe time for solutions is now. The time for action must be now\, to prevent an increase of harm and crime to our citizens who count on the Topanga Division for protection. \nVery truly yours\, \nConcerned Citizens of Woodland Hills through its Neighborhood Council. \n  \nRoll call vote \n  \nPossible Presentation by Sean Dinse and/ or Topanga Division on current crime statistics. \n  \n\nMOTION FOR THE BOARD TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WHRC ANNUAL HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL AND VOTE FOR THE AMOUNT OF $50 FOR HALLOWEEN CANDY AND HAND OUTS\n\nThe Woodland Hills Recreation Center will be joined by Shadow Ranch Park in hosting its Annual Halloween Carnival on Saturday\, October 29\, 2022 from 1:00-5:00pm. They are expecting three to four hundred children and parents to participate in a fun and safe environment. They will provide game booths\, costume contests\, candy\, prizes\, music\, crafts at no cost to the community along with food items at a low cost to the patrons.

One way to control this problem is by issuing free permits  in order to assist with tracking the registered owner of the motorhome and/or person claiming ownership.  When a person obtains the permit\, there are a set of regulations they need to abide by or have their permit revoked if they violate the conditions of the permit three times. If they continue to violate the conditions of the permit once it’s been revoked\, the motorhome will be eventually impounded. These are public safety and health issues that need to be articulated and currently\,  Parking Enforcement does not have the answers for addressing the safety/nuisance concerns.  Police need to articulate the public safety and health concerns but need assistance. \n  \nThe WHWCNC suggests the following conditions to be included in the permit rules to allow a person to safely occupy a motorhome on city streets: \n  \n-Keep the area clean in and around the motorhome. \n-Do not block any portion of the sidewalks and/or store items on the public street. \n-Move every 7 2 hours. \n-Park in only commercial areas\, not residential area. \n-Do not dump grey/black water onto a public street. \n-Do not urinate/defecate on private property or public street/sidewalk. \n-Do not store or leave Propane tanks and/or gas on the sidewalk or street. \n-Do not engage in use and/or sales  of dangerous narcotics. \n-Not Possess dangerous weapons \n-Do not interfere with surrounding businesses\, including trespassing. Do not block driveways and entrances to businesses -Do not park in public parks\, libraries and/or in proximity to schools. \n-Do not engage in any criminal activity. \n-The motorhome should be currently registered and/or in the process of being registered. \n  \nThe City of Simi Valley has the following Motorhome Permit Process established and it would be wise for the City of LA to adopt a version of it so we can say that the person was advised of the conditions of the permit and if they violate it\, there are repercussions. \nhttps://www.simivalley.org/departments/police-department/divisions/operations-division/traffic-bureau/oversize-vehicle-permit \n  \nPlease consider this recommendation and help the citywide issue of motorhomes in our communities. \n  \nRoll call vote \n  \n\nEND OF YEAR HOLIDAY IDEAS.\n\nDiscussion for possible action.

Our area ranks first in crime increase\, in the Los Angeles area in most categories.  Woodland Hills is a peaceful area of the San Fernando Valley where families come and settle and to safely work and raise their children. It is concerning that there has been 10 homicides so far  this  year in our area. This is twice as many  as in 2020 (100% increase)  and 4 more than in 2021 (67% increase). Overall total violent crimes are up 16% since 2020 and 26% since 2021. Property crimes also have risen. \n  \nFor such a dramatic increase in overall crime\, there must be a dramatic reaction and solution. \n  \nWoodland Hills Warner Center  Neighborhood Counsel requests request that the City and its officials responsible maximize allocation of officers and resources to the Topanga division. Additional officer deployment and allocation is crucial in an area of Los Angeles where crime is skyrocketing and the residents are fearful. The consequence of inaction will be preventable loss of life and property. \n  \nVery truly yours\, \nConcerned Citizens of Woodland Hills Warner Center through its Neighborhood Council. \n  \nSee attachment of Topanga Area Crime Profile from 9-11-22 through 10-8-22. \n  \nRoll call vote \n  \nPossible Presentation by someone from the Topanga Division on current crime statistics. \n  \n\nEND OF YEAR HOLIDAY IDEAS.\n\nDiscussion for possible action. Ideas: partner with the Chamber? We need to come up with ideas and budget in order to get something approved for our next full November Board meeting otherwise it will be too late. Bring ideas for motions to this meeting please for holiday action. \n  \nPossible motion on whatever is suggested. \n  \n\nFUTURE BUSINESS: Discussion about future agenda topics and new business for next meeting.\n\n  \nAdjournment of Meeting: \nThe next Committee Meeting will be held on November 21\,  2022\, by teleconference.

We recommend preparing a CIS to the mentioned Council File. The suggested CIS draft is below. The City of Los Angeles has long been an environmental leader\, setting ambitious goals for the reduction of pollution and greenhouse gases (GHGs)\, and implementing departmental improvements that help achieve these reductions.\n\n The WHWCNC board is in support of the council motion directing the Department of \nRecreation and Parks to report on a strategy and timeline for a pilot program to evaluate the use of \nzero-emission maintenance equipment at parks and golf courses.  \nThe WHWCNC recommends that American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA)\, be the organization that helps the  \nCity of Los Angeles with their zero-emissions maintenance equipment pilot project\, in order to avoid common \nproblems that may arise in transitioning untrained staff.  \nAGZA is the certification organization that helped the City of South Pasadena achieves their groundbreaking zero emission operations for all city properties\, and is the most qualified and experienced consultancy to ensure the City’s program success.  \n Roll Call Vote \n\nDiscussion and possible action on composing a letter regarding West Valley Neighborhood Alliance (“WVNAH”) the WHWCNC recommends stopping immediately its engagement and any future participation with WVNAH. (Aaron Quantz & Mihran Kalaydjian).\n\nTo send a “cease and desist” letter suspending WVNAH from claiming “NC Member Affiliation” with the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council (The single dissenting vote\, preferred to cancel all affiliation immediately\, with suspension.)\, until WVNAH addresses our concerns\, as follows: \n1) Political Advocacy. It appears that WVNAH and some Board members have taken political positions\, even endorsing candidates during meetings\, in violation of its nonpartisan mission to address homelessness.  \n2) Voting Irregularities. The way WAVNA conducts its meetings and collects votes does not allow our NC to discuss and take an official position\, prior to asking our representation to vote\, in violation of our By Laws. There is also some concern about the balance of votes between NCs and other individuals and entities who vote for WVNAH positions. \nTherefore\, we ask WVNAH to cease and desist using NWNC as a “Member Neighborhood Council” or for any affiliation purposes\, and as WNAH to address these concerns.  \n Roll Call Vote \n8. Discussion and possible action\, ideas for possible “recruitment” of Stakeholders to join our Committee. Ideal additions must be able to attend all Committee meetings. The Chair (Aaron M Quantz) feels it is a top priority to not only work FOR our Stakeholders but WITH them as well. Working with the residents of our town is paramount as we are budgeted taxpayer funds\, otherwise we are just playing government with ourselves. \nRoll Call Vote \n\nDiscussion and possible action: As we know\, the Valley has a direct connection to the aeronautical industry and big Defense contractors\, many of whom left large areas of contamination in Woodland Hills and around the San Fernando Valley. We will discuss the plethora of these areas and the companies that left them contaminated\nhttps://www.dailynews.com/2020/01/09/neighbors-demand-full-cleanup-of-former-rocketdyne-site-in-warner-center/\nhttps://www.waterboards.ca.gov/rwqcb4/water_issues/programs/remediation/chromium/chromium_s1.html\nhttps://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/la-times-today/2021/06/12/santa-susana-nuclear-meltdown-1959-impact\nBenzine from Natural gas: https://sdvoice.info/gas-stoves-cancer-california-benzene/\n\n\nRoll Call Vote \n10.

Our area ranks first in crime increase\, in the Los Angeles area in most categories.  Woodland Hills is a peaceful area of the San Fernando Valley where families come and settle and to safely work and raise their children. It is concerning that there has been 10 homicides so far this  year in our area. This is twice as many  as in 2020 (100% increase)  and 4 more than in 2021 (67% increase). Overall total violent crimes are up 16% since 2020 and 26% since 2021. Property crimes also have risen. \n  \nFor such a dramatic increase in overall crime\, there must be a dramatic reaction and solution. \n  \nWoodland Hills Warner-Center Neighborhood Counsel requests request that the City and its officials responsible maximize allocation of officers and resources to the Topanga division. Additional officer deployment and allocation is crucial in an area of Los Angeles where crime is skyrocketing\, and the residents are fearful. The consequence of inaction will be preventable loss of life and property. \n  \nVery truly yours\, \nConcerned Citizens of Woodland Hills Warner Center through its Neighborhood Council. \n  \nSee attachment of Topanga Area Crime Profile from 9-11-22 through 10-8-22. \n  \nRoll call vote \nItem No. (10) Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee [PLUM] – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-101) Conditional Use Permit – Wireless\, Case No. ZA-2022-4017\, ENV-2022-4018\, Conditional Use – Wireless LALAX04022B\, 11/03/2022.  \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (15 minutes) \nApplication for a Conditional Use Permit for an array of wireless antennas and a wireless telecommunications facility to be located at 21859 W. Oxnard Street\, Woodland Hills\, on top of the Marriott Hotel. \nRESOLUTION: \n  \nThe Planning Land Use and Mobility committee of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC)\, having held one remote meeting via ZOOM on the DISH Wireless WTF request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 3 new FRP Screen Box for 3-panel antennas divided into three sectors\, twelve 12 remote radio units (RRUs) – four located at each sector installed on the existing rooftop. The antennae’s associated equipment will be on an equipment platform on the rooftop\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: Existing service is insufficient to meet existing demand by customers in the West Valley due to overloaded existing facilities resulting in interrupted service\, dropped calls\, or complete denial of service during peak usage hours\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The LAMC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to grant Conditional Uses\, allows conditional use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: Dish satisfies LAMC Sec: SEC. 12.21.20 that sets Wireless Telecommunication Facilities (WTF) Standards\, qualifying for a conditional use that allows for antennas located on an existing transmission tower on a parcel zoned C4 and meet by-right criteria\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The location meets the minimum distances to habitable structures required by the FCC. The antennas will be painted matte in a non-reflective color to match the existing transmission tower where they will be installed. The proposed antennas meet setback requirements from all abutting streets\, residential uses\, and all zones\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH RF emissions are regulated by the FCC to ensure public safety standards based on peer-reviewed scientific studies\, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, Federal Drug Administration (FDA)\, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a DISH WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, and telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to DISH Wireless for a new WTF\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The site is of adequate size\, shape\, topography\, location\, and access to utilities to accommodate the proposed wireless facility in that all setbacks are met\, and it has access to power and telephone connections\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The use and development will be compatible with the intended character of the area and are similar to other rooftop approvals elsewhere in the City\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC\, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\, and the CPUC\, governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable laws. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by DISH Wireless for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Warner Center Marriott located at 21850 W. Oxnard Street\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested actions.

The community and the Montero family would like to memorialize this tragic loss by erecting a marker at the site of the accident. This memorial consists of a 16′ pole topped with a sculpture of a bicycle and a placard with Sebastian’s name\, the date of the collision\, the reminder “Streets Are For Everyone” (S.A.F.E) and the hashtag #SafetyMatters. \nThe design of the sculpture has been approved by LADOT as visually safe for passing motorists and the structure of the sculpture has been engineered to safety standards. The installation will be performed by the artist\, Scott Froschauer\, and maintenance of the sculpture will be overseen by S.A.F.E.\, a bicycle safety advocacy nonprofit in conjunction with the artist. The location where the memorial is proposed is within the jurisdiction of Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and we support this project. \nSee attached photo \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (13) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-104) Community Impact Statement RE: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades CIS CF 22-1146 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSummary CF 22-1146:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for putting forth this much-needed motion. Circumstances require attention due to the revelation that CISs submitted via the DONE CIS portal to specific city departments\, commissions\, and committees have not arrived at their destination. The proper functioning of this Portal for submitting Community Impact Statements is essential to the function of the Neighborhood Council System. \nWe heartily support the actions requested in CF22-1146\, which requires: “that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal\, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted\, the length of time the errors were present in the system\, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal\, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils\, and the steps taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future.” We caution the City Council that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment previously engaged in deceptive and diversionary practices with Neighborhood Councils when replying to requests like the City Council’s questions. Please see attached complete CIS. \nMotion: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1146: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for making this much-needed motion. Circumstances require immediate attention due to the revelation that CISs submitted via the DONE CIS portal to specific city departments\, commissions\, and committees have not arrived at their destination. The proper functioning of this Portal for submitting Community Impact Statements is essential to the function of the Neighborhood Council System. \nWe heartily support the actions requested in CF 22-1146\, which requires: “that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal\, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted\, the length of time the errors were present in the system\, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal\, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils\, and the steps taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future.” We caution the City Council that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment previously engaged in deceptive and diversionary practices with Neighborhood Councils when replying to requests like the City Council’s questions. \nWe also support the additional actions requested\, which require the following:  \nThe City Council instructs the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, with the assistance of the Information Technology Agency\, to report back in 45 days on the necessary technological upgrades needed to the Community Impact Statement Portal to ensure that the Community Impact Statement submissions are as seamless and streamlined as possible; furthermore\, ensure that technical issues of this sort will not arise in the future. \nCurrently\, the CIS Portal appears inconsistent and “glitchy\,” preventing submissions. At the same time\, this causes frustration and doubt with the designated NC submitters\, who cannot tell if their actions are the problem or if the CIS Portal Page is the problem. The primary problem experienced relates to the submittal of PDFs. If there is proper maintenance and upgrades\, this should not happen. A newly designed CIS portal page should use current industry best practices for layout and back-end processing; for example work without the use of pop-up windows and should work seamlessly with current Chrome\, Edge\, Fire Fox and Safari browsers. The submission site should allow for drag and drop or navigating to and selecting attachment files. \nWhile we applaud this measure\, we request the reassurance that needed technological upgrades\, if any\, be integrated into the new citywide technology plan. Optionally\, we also request consideration of the transference of the DONE CIS maintenance responsibilities to the City Clerk’s office. \nAs an additional safeguard\, we propose that all Neighborhood Councils receive an automated alert when an email from the current NC CIS system bounces back to the server until the review above is completed and reviewed by the City Council.” \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (14) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-105) Community Impact Statement RE: Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSupplemental Reference Material: Ethics Commission File (Charter Sec 700 Ethics Reforms) \nCouncil File Number CF 22-1232: \nSummary:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we ask for the following amending actions. \n\nGenuine Independent Appointments\nMore Restrictive Eligibility Requirements\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner\nIncreased maximum penalty\nIncrease the minimum commission budget\nIndependent outside counsel for the Commission\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1232 : Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \nWHWCNC Position: Support If Amended \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we give the following amending actions required below. \nThe City of Los Angeles’ Ethics Commission was once a model for the nation over three decades ago. Given recent events of the last decade\, an update is long overdue. The city must immediately start the work necessary to put a Charter Reform proposal on a near-future ballot. \nHowever\, you must not rush this work and waive it out of committee as a convenient answer to the ever-continuing scandals at City Hall. It deserves a full and fair hearing in committee with robust public involvement and discussion\, including Neighborhood Councils. \nThe Ethics Commission’s recommendations broadly reflect input it received regarding the empowerment of the body to enforce the law\, meaningfully change policy\, and change the power dynamics at City Hall. \nHowever\, we believe they fail to enhance the Commission’s independence sufficiently. We still see the opportunity for elected officials to strong-arm commissioners and meddle with the enforcement actions and policy proposals of the Ethics Commission in the same way elected officials manipulated the Redistricting Commission when those officials were not getting what they wanted. \nWe recommend the following specific amendments: \n\nIndependent Appointment: The City of LA cannot have a genuinely independent Ethics Commission until there is no involvement of elected officials in the member appointment process. The incumbent commissioners should be responsible for accepting and vetting applications through a public process.\nEligibility Requirements: The Commission proposes adding restrictions excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the city’s work from serving on the Commission.  These restrictions are warranted but incomplete. We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, a recent candidate for the City of LA\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates.\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner: The Commission recommends increasing the number of elected officials who may initiate removal and reducing the threshold to a majority vote. Due to the presence of “tribal” factions in the City Council\, removal should require action by a supermajority of the City Council\, so we recommend requiring a 2/3rds vote for all proceedings removing Ethics Commissioners.\nIncreased maximum penalty: The Commission recommends increasing the administrative penalty to $10k per violation.  We recommend adopting Chicago’s maximum fine of $20k indexed to inflation per violation.\nRaise minimum budget: The Commission recommends their budget be set at $4.5 million and tied to CPI.  While this would protect against retaliation or defunding during a financial crunch\, this essentially freezes the status quo into the charter. If the City Council expands\, ethics will require more money. The budgeted minimum must be indexed for growth in the number of elected officials and separately indexed for the number of employees. $4.5 million is only a few hundred thousand above the Commission’s current budget.\nIndependent outside counsel: Realistically the City Attorney cannot serve multiple masters in these matters. The Commission’s recommendations include new expenditures\, like having independent outside counsel\, which is essential for good governance. These new additions will require even more money. A minimum budget of $7-10 million to be indexed for inflation would start the Commission with the resources needed to fulfill its broad mandate.\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nWe appreciate your immediate attention to this topic\, \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (15) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-106) Community Impact Statement RE: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \n  \nDiscussion and Possible Action:                                                                    (10 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File Numbers CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: \nSummary: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo.

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

Council File 21-1230-S2 relative to establishing the Livable Communities Initiative along suitable transit-rich corridors and related mattters.\n\n(This matter is referred to Los Angeles City Council Budget and Finance and Economic Development and Jobs Committees. The Housing and Transportation Committees have approved the item and their reports are within the Council File https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=21-1230-S2 ) \nMOTION: State law requires the City of Los Angeles to update its Housing Element every eight years and demonstrate sufficient zoned capacity for housing-especially affordable housing. For the 2021-2022 planning cycle\, the City was given a housing target of 456\,643 new units\, which we must accommodate for by 2029. According to Los Angeles City Planning\, while some of this capacity is achievable by maintaining the status quo\, there remains a shortfall of 255\,432 units. This shortfall necessitates innovative planning tools and programs to meet our housing targets. For this reason\, the City Council recently adopted Los Angeles’ most ambitious Housing Element to date. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element outlines strategies that speak to the City’s diverse housing needs and goals around ending homelessness\, producing more housing\, expanding housing opportunities\, and creating mixed-use\, mixed-income neighborhoods across Los Angeles near jobs and transit. Some of these strategies will be included automatically in community plan updates\, but many of the policy programs detailed in Chapter 6 of the Housing Element require City Council action to effectuate. \nOne key program is the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI)\, identified as Program 131 of the adopted Housing Element. As detailed in the Housing Element\, “LCI is an opportunity to advance a holistic vision for livable\, healthy\, and sustainable communities along the City’s transit-rich corridors utilizing mixed-use\, mixed-income housing combined with opportunities to transform the street and public realm by adding or improving wide sidewalks\, tree canopy\, outdoor dining\, bicycle infrastructure\, transit shelters\, fast and frequent transit\, and public seating and plazas.” LCI helps to implement critical “complete street” strategies in the City’s adopted Mobility Plan 2035; moreover\, it encourages reinvestment and street activation across neighborhoods so that Angelenos have access to safe and enjoyable public spaces to walk\, roll\, and thrive. \nThe City’s current development regulations are confusing and restrictive\, and often make it challenging to build much-needed housing. In the midst of a housing shortage and low vacancy rates in Los Angeles\, where almost 60% of renters are cost-burdened\, the LCI alongside other strategies identified in the Housing Element are an opportunity to holistically plan for green\, affordable\, and connected communities. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, with assistance from the Department of Building and Safety\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, and other relevant departments\, to report back within 180 days with strategies to establish the Livable Communities Initiative along suitable transit-rich corridors\, or analogous Citywide regulations\, that facilitates mid-scale development\, promotes the creation of housing units where ‘ they do not currently exist\, and creates or enhances existing commercial\, ll Wixed-use .character. As pap of its report\, City Planning should consider by-right or administrative development and zoning standards to mid-scale development; including\, but not limited to: Waivers or reductions of setback\, unit floor area\, and other development standards;  \nAn inclusionary housing requirement to increase access to affordable housing;  \nA minimum density requirement to promote multifamily\, mixed-use development;  \nProvisions to encourage greater lot density such as allowing for microunits\, shared housing\, or increasing area ratio (FAR) allowances; The elimination or reduction of parking minimums in “high quality transit areas” or “transit-rich areas”;  \nExclusions and/or mitigations for lot located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ)\, an identified historic district\, or are designated as open space; and result in the demolition of buildings subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance  \nI FURTHER MOVE that\, as part of this report back\, City Council directs Los Angeles City Planning to develop a community-driven outreach and engagement strategy that will assist in informing the necessary maps and reports required to identify suitable transit-rich corridors that would benefit from the Livable Communities Initiative and complement existing rezoning efforts through the implementation of the Housing Element (2021-2029). This strategy should demonstrate adequate engagement and involvement with marginalized\, historically underserved\, and/or disadvantaged communities potentially impacted by the selection of suitable corridors.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, in coordination with City Planning’s Urban Design Studio\, to report back within 180 days on options for an administrative clearance procedure for projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative that outlines objective Design and Development Standards to ensure high quality\, contextual design and compatibility with the vision of the Livable Communities Initiative outlined in Program 131 of the Housing Element (2021-2029).  \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, the Department of Public Works\, and the Economic Workforce Development Department\, with assistance from the City Administrative Office and other relevant departments\, to report back within 180 days with options to establish a streamlined\, administrative review process that ensures projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative invest in public right-of-way amenities and infrastructure improvements in order to encourage transit ridership\, pedestrian and cyclist safety\, and placemaking. \n  \n Roll Call Vote \n2. Discussion and possible action: Council File: 22-0755  \nThe City’s FY 2021-22 Budget included a $1\,000\,000 pilot program in partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) to deliver medical services to homeless residents. The program also places individuals into various types of housing and provides hygiene services at high-needs locations throughout the City. The program received an additional $1\,000\,000 in the FY 2022-23 Budget to continue these needed services. \nThis current service contract is ending on June 30\, 2022. At this time\, a new contract is required to recognize funding provided to LAHD in the FY 2022-23 Budget Resolution. It is important that a new contract be properly executed with USC through the Los Angeles Housing Department\, administrator for this contract\, to ensure continuity of service. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct and authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) or designee to execute a contract with the University of Southern California (USC) to provide street medicine and housing services in the amount of $1\,000\,000 as approved in the City’s FY 22-23 Budget\, and that the contract commence July 1\, 2022 for a term of 12 months\, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. \nI FURTHER MOVE that the Council find that the services to be perfonned by the University of Southern California are for the performance of professional\, scientific\, expert\, technical\, or other special services of a temporary and occasional character for which competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous and that the work can be performed more economically or feasibly by independent contractors than by City employees. I FURTHER MOVE that LAHD be authorized to make any technical corrections or clarifications as necessary to the above instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this Motion. \n  \nMOTION 72A \nAMEND item #72 (CF: 22-0755) to add the following directions: I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA)\, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD)\, Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD)\, the Mayor’s Office\, the Unified Homelessness Response Center (UHRC)\, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)\, to report in 60 days on the status of the City’s partnership with the USC Street Medicine Program\, and funding sources and options for expanding street medicine services across the City.\n \n  Roll Call Vote \n3. Discussion and possible action: Council File 22-1313\nMOTION: HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY COMMITTEE \nThe most recent Point-in-Time Count data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) \nindicate that nearly 6\,500 people experiencing homelessness in the City are living in a total of about 4\,000 \nrecreational 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 te-allew people experiencing homelessness to shelter in place-safely\, but in April ofthis 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 ofvendors 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. \nOne option to address vehicular homelessness in RVs is to provide designated sites as “safe parking” lots. Safe parking programs typically provide nighttime security and hygiene facilities\, as well as some case management on site. However\, there are currently very few safe parking sites within the City that are large enough to accommodate RVs. Furthermore\, none of these sites operate 24 hours a day\, which poses a particular challenge for people in RVs\, who do not opt to use the sites because it is onerous or impossible to move their vehicles out of the lots during daytime hours due to the size and condition of the vehicles. \nAnother strategy is to offer housing options to residents ofRVs. Indeed\, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) recently proposed new outreach and engagement protocols to address Citywide vehicle dwelling (CF 21-0956-S 1)\, which instructs that prior to towing a vehicle\, housing or shelter referrals should be made to vehicle dwellers “if available.” However\, the City simply does not have adequate numbers of shelter beds or interim housing sites to offer housing to every resident currently in an RV. It is likely that without adequate housing options to offer residents\, strict enforcement of existing RV laws would result in more individuals encamped in tents and makeshift shelters on City sidewalks. Effective housing navigation for people living in RVs will require specialized resources in order to successfully resolve homelessness for residents. Homeless service providers with experience working with residents of RV s report that incentives\, such as small cash payments\, can serve as useful tools to encourage residents moving into housing to relinquish their RVs when they move. Short-term storage options for RVs can also help residents overcome skepticism about moving into an interim housing site. 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 ofthe 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.I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO)\, with assistance from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Department of Transportation (LADOT)\, to report back within 60 days with a comprehensive City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness\, in alignment with the City’s Street Engagement Strategy and LAHSA’s Best Practices for Addressing Street Encampments. The strategy should include the following components: \nIdentifying and securing appropriate interim shelter and housing for people living in RV s across the \nCity; \nCreation of incentives for voluntary relinquishment of RVs used as dwellings; \nIdentifying and securing short-term storage lots for RVs after the owner or dweller moves into interim or \npermanent housing if the owner or dweller wishes to store the RV for a short time; \nExpanding Safe Parking programs\, in collaboration with LAHSA\, to include oversized/larger RVs in 24-hour Safe Parking programming;  \nDemolishing RVs\, after the owner or dweller moves into interim or permanent housing\, with consent of the owner; \nLeveraging case management from sanitation outreach/City-funded generalist outreach teams for people \nliving in RVs\, with a focus on strategies for working with people living in RVs; and \nNecessary budgetary and staffing resources to implement the strategy. \nI FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to report back within 60 days regarding the possibility of submitting an application on behalf of the City for an ERF grant to support the proposed City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness. \n Roll Call Vote \n4. Discussion and possible action: Council File 21-1208\nMotion: In 2016 the State of Califomia adopted methane emissions targets in an effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants under SB 1383 requiring all jurisdictions to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. This was a necessary response to scientific discoveries that greenhouse gasses released by landfilling food and yard waste is a major contributor to pollutants and climate change. \nThe research uncovered that Califomia landfills are the third largest source of generated methane gas. Organics like food scraps\, yard trimmings\, paper\, and cardboard make up half of what is dumped in our landfills. The new regulations require jurisdictions to adopt and enforce an ordinance on reducing commercial and residential food waste generation. All jurisdictions starting in 2022 will need to provide organic waste collection services and utilize recycling facilities\, procure products made from recycled organic material\, as well as redirect 20 percent of edible food currently thrown away to those going hungry by the year 2025. \nUnder the new law\, each jurisdiction is accountable for compliance by its sourcegenerators\, and CalRecycle\, the State’s recycling and waste regulatory agency\, is authorized to issue escalating penalties for non-compliance beginning in 2022. \nThe City of Los Angeles has been at the forefront implementing waste collection programs and recycling to address operational eficiencies and climate change. In January 2017 the City approved seven RecycLA contracts for the collection of solid waste\, recycling and organics from large multifamily properties and businesses. These contracts contained specific landfill reduction targets tiat must be contractually met. Since there is always room for improvement\, the City must begin work to ensure our policies are in compliance with the new State regulations beginning in 2022. \nDuring the course of the past year and a half\, City residents have been coping with the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result\, many residents have sought economic relief through the rent moratorium and utility bill assistance. The implementation of the new regulations associated with organics may have an impact on the City residents and businesses as they emerge from the pandemic. Given this\, it is important that the City fully understand the economic impact of these regulations and provide ways to minimize their effect on struggling City residents and businesses. \nThe Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) should be requested to analyze the law and prepare a report with recommendations on phasing in the steps for data-collection\, policy compliance\, and future plans for capital improvements that comply with the new CalRecycle regulations. The City supports the goals to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants statewide and the regulations approved by CalRecycle already align with the City’s zero-waste goals. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) be instructed to report to the City Council within 60 days on the steps necessary to comply with the CalRecycle regulations to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025; and the ability to develop a phased approach to compliance. \nI further move that the BOS\, With the assistance of the City Administrative Officer and the Chief Legislative Analyst\, be instructed to report on the potential impact of the CalRecycle regulations on the ratepayers and methods and approaches to provide relief to ratepayers and minimize potential impacts. \n  \n Roll Call Vote \n  \nItems to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting \n Adjournment of Meeting: \nThe Woodland Hills/ Warner Center Neighborhood Council Public Health and Homelessness Committee meets regularly on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.
