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

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.
