However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications\, and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, and especially on the five properties adjoining the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating an nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, a title search for the property reveals a Grant Deed that restricts\n\nfurther subdivision of the property without written permission of the Grantors; and\, \n\nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 23139 Collins Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width nonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications as presented to the WHWCNC Board on Oct. 11\, 2023. \n  \nItem No. 5 \n  \nPublic Safety and Transportation\, Rachel Tabak\, Chair \n(23-062) Motion to Support Recommendations Proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nTraffic safety has long been a concern on State Highway 27 / Topanga Canyon Blvd.  While traffic studies and piecemeal safety improvements have been proposed and/or implemented by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Warner Center Neighborhood Protection Plan Committee (a subcommittee of the Warner Center 2035 Plan Implementation Board)\, many of proposals/implementation pause at Topanga Canyon Blvd. because it falls under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). \n  \nCouncilmember Blumenfield’s Office – specifically the Councilmember’s Legislative Director Jeff Jacobberger\, and Woodland Hills Field Deputy/Land Use Planning Deputy Seth Samuels – have been working with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, State Senator Henry Stern’s Office\, and State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel’s Office to coordinate a meeting with Caltrans to review and (hopefully) implement the proposed traffic safety improvements on Topanga Canyon Blvd. \n  \nWE\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, THEREFORE MOVE to bolster the following recommendations proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans: \n  \nGeneral Requests: \n\nReassess the need for\, and hours of\, peak hour lanes.\n\n\n\n\nPeak-hour lanes in both directions in both AM and PM? Do they need to run from 7a-10a and then again from 3p-7p? Do we need them on Saturdays? If parking was allowed from 9a-4p (instead of 10a-3p) and on Saturdays\, would that help the businesses on Topanga Canyon Blvd? Caltrans and/or LADOT should have traffic counts to help make this determination.\n\n\n\n\nChange the parking time limit from 1 hour to 2 hours.\n\n\n\n\n1 hour is way too short. It discourages people from parking there; less people parking means that the curb lane becomes a raceway even during the non-peak hours.\n\n\n\n\nUpgrade all curb ramps to fully ADA-compliant ramps; and repair all broken sidewalks\nPlant lots of street trees\n\n\n\n\nThere is a need to reassess the species of trees that are planted in the public right-of-way\n\n\n\n\nRelocate Metro Line 150 and LADOT bus stops as needed.\nTaking TCB Out of the State Highway Network (at least a portion of it)\n\nLocation-Specific Requests: \n\nat Sherman Way: There is a short gap in the Sherman Way bike lanes at Topanga Canyon Blvd.\nat Gault: signalize the crosswalk at OLV Catholic Church and potentially install a mid-block refuge island.\nat Hart/Bell Creek: the City’s long-range plan calls for creating biking/walk paths on all our waterways\, including Bell Creek\, so it may make sense to add a signalized ped/bike crossing.\nat Vanowen: it does not look like the sidewalk on the west side of TCB alongside the AT&T Building is ADA-compliant.\n\n\n\n\nGet an access agreement from AT&T if needed and create a minimum 5 foot-wide sidewalk along this section.\n\n\n\n\nb/w Oxnard St. / Burbank Blvd.: in the southbound direction (at least on weekends)\, people race down the curb peak hour lane from Oxnard\, and then have to cut in because there are always cars parked once you get closer to Burbank.\n\nRoll Call Vote  \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \n(23-063)  Motion to approve $2\,000 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for the West Valley Food Pantry  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $2.000 for a Neighborhood Purpose grant for the West Valley Food Pantry .  The West Valley Food Pantry currently feeds approximately 700 families a week. Due to inflationary costs of food\, housing\, utilities\, medication\, and numerous other expenses\, its numbers are on the rise. As it endeavors to feed the hungry in our community\, it has asked the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council for financial support to help it do just that.

(See attached simulations.) \n  \nPLUM Motion \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 proposed AT&T Mobility Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 16 panel antennas\, 48 RRUs\, and equipment cabinets behind screening on an existing 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 inside nearby neighborhood retail centers; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The LAMC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to grant Conditional Uses\, allows conditional use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility has satisfied the conditions of LAMC Sections 12.24 and 11.5.7 that allow for the installation of wireless facilities in R3-1 Zones; 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: AT&T Mobility 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: AT&T Mobility analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a AT&T Mobility WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to AT&T Mobility 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: AT&T Mobility 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\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by AT&T Mobility for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Motion Picture & Television Fund\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\, receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested actions.

Even though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to the airport and the City of Los Angeles and additional jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate our regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nWoodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Statement of Impact on Community \nVan Nuys Airport (VNY) has grown to rank as one of the world’s busiest general aviation airports. It is one of two airports owned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)–including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Its location in the center of the San Fernando Valley had been a significant departure and arrival point for legions of small private and corporate prop aircraft for decades. But year after year\, it has seen many small single-engine aircraft users replaced by newer\, bigger\, and noisier corporate jet aircraft. And\, during Covid\, VNY traffic increased\, and operations expanded\, providing private air traffic an alternative to LAX. That has substantially increased the volume of air traffic over densely populated Valley communities. \nEven though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to VNY and the City of Los Angeles and more jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nThe airport system operates under the direction of a policy-making Board of Airport Commissioners [BOAC] appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. In 1985\, the Los Angeles City Council established the Van Nuys Airport Citizens Advisory Council [CAC] for community examination and input around all aspects of general aviation operations\, facilities development\, and land utilization at and around the airport. But during the recent Covid crisis\, the perceived urgency facilitated an easy way for VNY to bypass the Van Nuys CAC and other advisory bodies\, to ignore their input and process\, and just submit project proposals directly to the BOAC. \nDue to the circumvention of the Van Nuys CAC\,  year-over-year after-hours operations at VNY have increased by 40.24%–directly impacting nearby residents with additional noise\, pollution\, and traffic. Overall\, FAA traffic control and after-hours operations have risen 40.06% since 2017. \nThis moment is critical for the City of Los Angeles when transparency and credibility are needed to restore public trust. As such\, LA City Council Members from Valley District 3\, District 2\, and District 4 created Motion #22-1489 that mandates input from the Van Nuys Airport CAC and sets clear standards of community outreach from the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) regarding updates made to the Van Nuys Airport. Additionally\, the Councilmember for the LAX area supports the motion. \nAs such\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council must endorse this City Council action and encourage our City Councilman\, Bob Blumenfield\, to continue his vigilance over increasing noise\, pollution\, and air traffic impacts on the residents and businesses of Council District 3. \nTherefore: \nWHEREAS\, the residents\, businesses\, and property owners of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center area\, as do all other VNY impacted communities deserve a meaningful opportunity for input about any proposed changes and projects under consideration by VNY and evaluation by the BOAC; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City of Los Angeles has chartered the Van Nuys Airport CAC with providing stakeholder input and outreach that VNY and the BOAC must in good faith adhere to; and \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC desires to completely support the actions of City Council Motion #22-1489 and urge the Council President that it be brought out of Committee to the Council floor for a complete vote of the LA City Council as swiftly as possible; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies (WHIP) Committee recommends the Woodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Board accept this Impact Statement as its own and request the Los Angeles City Council to enact the actions in Motion #22-1489 with swift and immediate enforcement. \nFURTHERMORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies Committee recommends that WHWCNC Board President Dena Weiss send a letter with this statement to all the active members of the City Council for immediate action\, as well as the BOAC and Mayor Bass. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (13) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-119) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-0407.

Further input from experienced Neighborhood Council Board Members\, which improves upon the report’s initial conclusions\, should better serve as the basis for City Council decisions. \nThe WHWCNC Board bases this advice on the knowledge that fellow Neighborhood Councils [NCs] report the report-back from EmpowerLA\, submitted to City Council on 10/14/2022\, contains factual errors when compared to raw elections data available on EmpowerLA.org. The Department’s limited attention to detail and awareness of statistics concerns the WHWCNC Board. Consequently\, our NC expects that the City Council will not rely on the 10/14/2022 report for making changes to the regulation of NC Elections. However\, further study is essential\, especially regarding self-affirmation. \nThe WHWCNC Board is highly concerned that self-affirmation by potential voters will become mandated by the City. The founders of this NC crafted the structure of WHWCNC to minimize the possibility of an organization’s takeover of the Board to follow its self-serving agenda. Our NC structure depends on recognizing\, preserving\, and promoting our seven distinct sub-communities of interest areas within our NC boundaries and having representatives of three types to encourage diversity of viewpoints and interests. Unfortunately\, the feared takeover-attempt situation has occurred more than once. Yet\, those attempts failed more than once\, primarily due to the Board’s structure. Self-affirmation allows voters to jump to other areas to tilt election outcomes fraudulently. Implementing voter self-affirmation removes the safeguards upon which honest elections and the Board structure depend. Self-affirmation is only appropriate when there is no distinction in standing for Board seats. \nIn recent years\, voter fraud has become an intense topic in America. Voter validation improves confidence in elections. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council notes that Neighborhood Councils that required voter validation\, like WHWCNC\, had higher voter turnout and more vote-by mail ballots returned and counted despite them being a smaller percentage of the councils having an election in 2021. WHWCNC believes voter validation minimizes the risk of fraudulent board takeovers. \nWhile Empower LA may make recommendations\, our Board emphasizes that Neighborhood Councils are independent under the City Charter. Therefore\, any amendments to their bylaws regarding voter qualifications cannot be made by the City Council or other entity\, only by each Neighborhood Council. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee unanimously recommends adoption of the above CI Statement by the WHWCNC and posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all City Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (14) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-120) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-1472\, 22-1196\, 22-1197 and 23-0002-S1 pertaining to creating new Council Redistricting Commission Rules and Increasing the Number  of Council Districts. \nDiscussion and Possible Action: Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee. \n                                                                                                                                                                       (10 minutes) \nCommunity Impact Statement Summary: \nSince the origination of LA’s city council system\, there have been 15 council districts. At the time\, there were 200\,000 people in the City of LA\, with about 13\,300 persons per district. That number is multiplied twenty times to over 3.85 million people today. Each Council District in Los Angeles has more people than the Cities of Burbank and Pasadena combined. There is scant evidence that this consolidation of power in such populated Districts is good for the residents and voters of LA. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council wholeheartedly supports bringing Charter Reform Ballot Initiatives to the voters before 2024. These would increase and tie Council district sizes to population\, expand the City Council to provide more representation to our communities and remove Councilmembers and elected officials from redistricting. \nWHIP Drafted CIS For Board Consideration \nThe WHIP Committee unanimously 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. The CIS supports calling for City Charter ballot measures on the expansion of the number of Council Districts and a new impartial Redistricting process to redistrict Los Angeles in time for the 2024 election cycle: \nCouncil File 21-1472 \nNovember 2022 Ballot / Ballot Measure / City Charter Amendment / Independent Redistricting Commission \nCouncil File 23-0002-S1 \nIndependent Redistricting Process / New Commission / New Redistricting Maps / City of Los Angeles / April 2023 Special Election \nCouncil File 22-1196  \nCharter Reform Ballot Initiative / 2024 / Redistricting Process / Los Angeles City Council Seats / Representation Fixed to Population Growth \n  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the creation of an independent redistricting commission.  It is a necessary and overdue step for the City Council and Los Angeles Unified School Board Districts.  During the 2021 redistricting process\, many Neighborhood Councils had to expend significant energy and time to fight for their neighborhood in a polarized and politicized process.  It is time for Los Angeles to catch up to California and Los Angeles County\, which already have independent redistricting commissions. \nWe propose adding restrictions for applicant qualifications excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the City’s work from serving on the Commission.  We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, any recent candidate for a City of LA elected office\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates. \nThe Redistricting process must follow a set of rank-ordered criteria to create new districts: \n\nPopulation Equality: Districts must comply with the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of “one person\, one vote.”\nFederal Voting Rights Act: Districts must ensure an equal opportunity for minorities to elect a candidate of their choice\nGeographic Contiguity: All areas within a district must connect as an undivided whole\, except for the particular case of islands\nGeographic Integrity: Without violating previous criteria\, Districts shall minimize the division of Neighborhood Councils before minimizing the division of communities of interest to the extent feasible. Communities of interest are secondary to neighborhood councils. They must be a contiguous population sharing common social and economic interests that justify inclusion within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.\nGeographic Compactness: To the extent practicable\, and where this does not conflict with previous criteria\, districts must not bypass nearby communities for more distant communities of interest. Communities of interest cannot be considered broader than 7 miles.\nTo the extent practicable\, Districts should not cross watersheds.\nDrawing Districts shall not consider any effects on incumbents\, office candidates\, or political parties.\n\n  \nThe City Council districts are currently too large to govern each area well. They have created an environment leading to opportunities for corruption by concentrating so much power in so few hands. A fifth of our City Council Members coming under indictment in the last decade is a strong indicator of opportunities for corruption. We also strongly believe in the expansion of the City Council’s size. \nIt is simply impossible for 15 Council Members to govern 4 million people appropriately.  Each City Council Member is supposed to represent over a quarter million residents.  For comparison\, in New York City (8.4 million people\, 51 council districts)\, each council district represents approximately 160\,000-170\,000 people.  In Chicago (2.71 million people\, 50 wards)\, each alderperson represents about 54\,000 people. The City of Fresno has a Council Member per 112\,000 persons. We favor getting to somewhere in the middle. \nWe support a ballot measure to establish a new City Council\, having one Council Member per 110\,000 residents to the nearest whole number of Council Districts and expanding the number of Council Districts as the population increases. \nServing as Commission Co-chairs\, two retired Superior Court Judges put forth by the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court shall select the Commission from a pool of about 80 candidates nominated across the City. At least one judge shall live in the City of Los Angeles. \nTo establish the pool of candidates\, each Los Angeles Neighborhood Council may nominate at least one and up to 3 candidates at the rate of one per 50\,000 in population to the nearest whole number\, ideally resulting in selecting about 1 out of 5 candidates to the Redistricting Commission of 17 members plus the two Co-chairs. \nWe support ballot measures to increase the number of Council Districts and establish new redistricting procedures. They should appear on the same ballot. When voters pass one or both ballot measures as proposed\, the City Council must immediately initiate the redistricting process to complete new redistricting in time for the 2024 election cycle. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (15) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-121) CIS regarding City Council File 14-0425-S13- 18477 West Sherman Way | \nReseda Theatre Restoration Project  \nDiscussion and Possible Action: A Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee passed unanimously. \n(10 minutes) \nPosition: Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] opposes City Council adoption of actions in Council File 14-0425-S13 unless amended and not before adequately reaching out to the Reseda community and satisfactorily receiving and addressing their comments and concerns. \nThe revitalization of the Reseda Theater has been a dream of the Reseda Community for over two decades. The community supported bundling the theater project with a senior housing project\, which promised to revitalize the theater years ago. \nThroughout the years\, the Reseda Neighborhood Council [RNC] requested updates regarding the progress of the theater. RNC asserts that City entities never promptly informed the community regarding the proposed transfer and severance of Reseda Theater Senior Housing LP into two corporate entities\, Reseda Theater and Public Market LP. \nIn public records\, RNC discovered that the developer filed incorporation documents in May 2021 that set the groundwork for using two corporate entities. In addition\, these records show that over 18 months\, the developer and the City failed to inform the Reseda community of potential changes. \nThe WHWCNC and local community have likewise experienced similar lapses in communicating promptly with the impacted stakeholders and us. This results in the perception of concealment of City development activities and creates the perception of backroom dealings in our shared Council District on development projects impacting our local communities. We remember the handling of the expansion of the West Valley Food Pantry. There was also the acquisition of properties across from Taft High School with public funds to be operated by a non-profit to provide homeless housing and services to targeted groups. Unfortunately\, details on these projects\, and more\, only come post-approval of projects by the City or until it is too late for the community to adequately weigh in with input before the City determines its decisions. This lack of communication continually happens despite numerous requests from the public for timely transparency on projects in CD3 that will have an enormous impact on our community and our stakeholders. Thus\, WHWCNC feels it is our responsibility to join the RNC in calling out the inadequate and delinquent sharing of necessary information regarding development projects in Council District 3 that results when bypassing Neighborhood Councils and not informing or gathering community input. \nCommunity input matters. Because Reseda stakeholders were not informed of the proposed changes and denied the opportunity to weigh in on serious concerns while the project was still in the planning stages\, the perception of backroom deals continues. Inadequate timely transparency has plagued the Los Angeles City Council and City operating departments for years. By way of examples\, we refer to the ways that LA City Council handled its own redistricting and that of LAUSD last cycle\, where community and NC input fell on deaf ears. We also see similarities in the handling of the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter and the Van Nuys Airport [VNY]\, in which City departments bypassed steps for informing the public and getting necessary responses from affected stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils (see our CISs regarding Council Files 22-0897 and 22-1489). \nThe City of Los Angeles provides financing for this project with tax dollars. RNC’s understandable concern is that this request for ownership transfer from one corporate owner to two is a possible ploy on the developer’s part to keep the successfully operating housing project and escape their contractual obligations to restore and revitalize the Reseda Theater as promised to the community. \nTherefore\, the WHWCNC requests the City Council defer acting on Council File 14-0425-S13 until after the City informs the stakeholders of Reseda on the reasons for and the possible implications of the changes proposed. The City and developers must objectively show the community that the proposed changes in ownership structure and any other pending changes will in no way jeopardize the restoration of the theater as promised. After educating the community and RNC on the impact of the pending changes\, they should have the opportunity to provide robust feedback. Then the City and developer should consider the community’s thoughtful input. Waiting for community education and assessing their responses means the property transfer from Reseda Theater Senior Housing\, LP\, to Reseda Theater and Public Market LP must be delayed and possibly denied unless the community is assured of project completion with the proposed changes. \nSincerely\, \nWoodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \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\, Philip Swain\nArea 3 –Mark Ball\, John Sandy Campbell\, Annmarie Donkin \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Gretchen Gesell\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Aaron Williams\, Houtan Hormozian\, Christine Robinson\nAt-Large –August Steurer\, Bobby Wasserman\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Rachel Tabak and Houtan Hormozian\, co-chairs \nCommunity Outreach and Social Media Committee – August Steurer and Bobbie Wasserman\, co-chairs\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 \nSafety Committee – Houtan Hormozian and Rachel Tabak\, co-chairs\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 January 11\, 2023\, by teleconference.

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.
