WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:24.990 On this week's episode: the Los Angeles City Council adopts a homelessness motion after staff reach terms with the county, LA County supervisors push their task force's County Executive recommendations to January, and the same council upholds an eight-hundred-fourteen-home project in Studio City. 2 00:00:28.574 --> 00:00:34.294 Five minutes on this week's decisions from the local governments CivicFM covers in the LA area. 3 00:00:35.054 --> 00:00:37.694 There's no episode this week from Burbank's show. 4 00:00:37.694 --> 00:00:46.134 This episode is made with AI from each government's own show, which reports from the public recordings of its meetings. Sources are in the show notes. 5 00:00:49.637 --> 00:01:05.852 Our top story this week: the city of Los Angeles, the county, and homelessness data. Last week we told you the Los Angeles City Council was weighing a fight with the county. On Friday, the City Administrative Officer presented terms reached with county staff. 6 00:01:05.852 --> 00:01:07.292 Terms on what? 7 00:01:07.292 --> 00:01:27.367 The homeless data system and housing matching. The city would get data on everyone experiencing homelessness with any documented link to the city, and the county would contract with the city to match people to city-funded housing. Right now, the administrative officer said, the city manages matching for none of the supportive housing it subsidizes. 8 00:01:27.367 --> 00:01:42.357 The council adopted an amended motion with ten votes. It asks for reports on possible litigation, on the talks with the county, and on steps toward a Continuum of Care for the city alone. Binding agreements come back to the council and the Board of Supervisors. 9 00:01:46.021 --> 00:02:04.926 Next, LA County, where Measure G creates an elected County Executive. On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors took up its task force's recommendations for the new structure, and voted four to nothing, with one abstention, to continue them to January twenty-sixth, so the incoming First District supervisor can weigh in. 10 00:02:04.926 --> 00:02:06.526 What concerns came up? 11 00:02:06.526 --> 00:02:17.071 Supervisors raised costs and the executive's pay. A task force member said the delay likely puts an October twenty twenty-seven start for a legislative analyst's office out of reach. 12 00:02:17.071 --> 00:02:18.591 Anything pass? 13 00:02:18.591 --> 00:02:36.261 Yes, on how to meet Measure G's rule that agendas post a hundred and twenty hours ahead. Instead of the task force's unanimous pick, the board voted five to nothing to keep its current regular agenda schedule. County Counsel said she believes that complies, though a task force member warned of a compliance risk. 14 00:02:39.925 --> 00:02:54.570 One more top story. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council denied appeals against a seven-story Studio City development on Ventura Boulevard: eight hundred fourteen homes, forty-six of them for very low income households, plus restaurant space. 15 00:02:54.570 --> 00:02:56.010 Who appealed? 16 00:02:56.010 --> 00:03:20.045 The Studio City Residents Association and Save LA River Open Space, plus an individual. The council upheld the City Planning Commission's approval eleven to nothing, adding conditions including proof of compliance with state fire-safe rules before the final map is recorded. In general public comment, most speakers backed the project, citing housing near transit; one caller opposed it over fire safety and evacuation. 17 00:03:23.468 --> 00:03:49.043 Now a quick trip around the area. LA County's Regional Planning Commission voted five to nothing Wednesday to recommend cannabis zoning for unincorporated areas: rules staff said would allow ninety licenses, indoors only, with buffers from schools and parks, plus churches, which commissioners added. They also urged the Board of Supervisors, which decides, to act now against unlicensed shops. 18 00:03:49.043 --> 00:04:12.993 In Pasadena, the City Council voted seven to nothing Tuesday, with one councilmember recused, to end the Rose Bowl Riders' lease at Hahamongna Watershed Park, after staff cited little public benefit and missing insurance documents. About sixteen speakers, nearly all urging the city to keep the club. The club must leave by January thirty-first, and staff plans a new request for proposals around February first. 19 00:04:12.993 --> 00:04:26.168 Also in Pasadena, a police plan to take a surplus armored vehicle at no purchase cost went ahead Tuesday without a council vote; staff said it proceeds unless the council directs otherwise, and no motion was made. 20 00:04:26.168 --> 00:04:41.908 And in Los Angeles, the Fire Department laid out Friday how it would spend Measure FD, which the chief described as a half-cent sales tax, on the November third ballot. The chief said the money would add to the department's general fund support, not replace it, with quarterly reports and a public dashboard. 21 00:04:45.252 --> 00:04:49.052 That's the week around the LA area. See you next Sunday.
