4. Swearing in of New Board and comments by City Councilman Paul Krekorian. The oath of office was administered by Paul Krekorian.

5. Disbanding of all Committees and reinstating of all Committees with President’s remarks. John Walker disbanded all committees and referred us to his comments regarding the chairs and new committees.

6. Comments from Ms. Grayce Liu, General Manager of DONE. John Walker

introduced Amber Meshack presenting in lieu of Ms. Grayce Liu. Amber Meshack introduced herself. She has been with DONE since the plan for

Neighborhood Councils was written and she helped set up the budget process. She

is proud to get to work with the people throughout the City of LA. Her phone

number is (818) 374-9893 and her email address is [email protected] Her office is at the Van Nuys City Hall. Lisa Cahan Davis asked what Amber’s

role is with respect to the NC’s. Her background is in capacity building and

training. She provides technical assistance with bylaws and treasury issues. Very

broad and general in scope is her job. She replaced Thomas Soong. Anyone can

contact her as needed.

7. Approval of March, 2014 Board Minutes. The March 2014 minutes were approved in the absence of objection.

8. Comments by the President. (Taken out of order as item number 3) John

Walker welcomed everyone and introduced the new board members. He noted

that all committees will be disbanded and reinstated but the chairs will remain in

place for one month. John Walker advised everyone that if you want to form a new committee or want to chair an existing committee please let him know. The

font of the current agenda was 14 point but next time it will be 12 point. All board

members have completed the required courses and are therefore eligible to vote

on all matters. He said that the SCNC and the SCNC’s committees work in conjunction with other organizations in the community. The river project is on the

agenda tonight. Without the support of the other organizations in Studio City the

SCNC would not have the recognition and effectiveness that it has. He recognized

Patty Kirby for the work she has done on behalf of our community.

9. Public Comments on non-agenda items within the Board’s jurisdiction. Bob Hertzberg (candidate for 18th Senate District) thanked us for our service. He has

been speaker of the California Assembly. The district has been realigned and is more southern now so that it includes all of Studio City and Sherman Oaks. He

said that the SCNC will hear from him a lot. He is working very hard. He is

working on major reforms of government including reform of the initiative process.

He is committed and ready to work hard for us. Jack Lindblad (Candidate Senate District 14) said that he is running against the plutocracy. There has been

a drop in jobs and quality of life and an increase in the plutocracy in Sacramento. We need to have a voice of humanity in Sacramento. He wants to be that voice.

People want to step away from corporate representation. He is an advocate for

affordable housing, rapid rail and a living wage. Please vote on June 3rd;

Stephen Elliott said he was attacked by a pit bull on February 16th in front of a bakery on Ventura Blvd. The pit bull lunged at another dog and his dog. He lost

part of his finger and his partner was knocked into the street. His dog was killed.

The pit bull was quarantined for 10 days and then released. This is a public safety

issue. Dogs must be on leash. Howard Fox said he is disabled and he was knocked to ground as he watched his dog die. Anyone can get a pit bull from the

animal shelter. He said that a man on skate board was being pulled by a pit bull.

There is a 6 foot leash law. We need to stop pit bulls. Kiko Ruben said she is

requesting that citizens sign a petition to stop the inappropriate disposal of cigarette butts. She thinks that the police should use DNA to identify culprits and

enforce anti littering laws. Smokers should be required to pick up their cigarette

butts and there should be fines for improper disposal. Barry Johnson said that

on our streets cigarette butts are many. There is a request for information act and the people with the dog issue should be able to use it to find the owner of the

dog. Barry Johnson also asked the board to do what we can to further our

motions once they are passed. These need to be moved forward. The door spam

motion should be moved forward. Rebecca Gundizik, member of the Transportation Committee said they are organizing an event on Sunday, May 4. It

will be a car free day in coordination with Carpenter and Walter Reed. Metro will

come out with a bus and show how to put your bike on the bus. Carefreesfe.com.

Post cards are on the table; Eric Preven introduced himself. He is a Studio City resident running for Zev Yaroslavsky’s seat. He has participated in a number of

debates already. His message is about fiscal fragmatism. He wants to make an

impact in the budget area. He wants to encourage ethics reform. He wants more

transparency and accountability. He is a big fan of Studio City and wants everyone to vote on June 3rd; Alan Dymond introduced Patty Kirby with Save

LA River Open Space and Bill Harmond from Studio City Beautification

Association who were in attendance. There is lots of work ahead and he looks

forward to working with the SCNC. He congratulated everyone on their election. Richard Adams said the owners of the dogs are responsible for the actions of

their dogs, not the breed. He sent an email regarding the Agua Vista debris

placement today. He asked how it would work and where it would go after that.

The long term plan for that property is to make a park with walking path. There is no place to park. They will reduce places for this type of relocation if this is

converted into a park.

10. Responses to comments from the Board. Lisa Sarkin said Land Use is taking up the issue of the Aqua Vista property debris depository. Jon Epstein

suggested we should raise the littering fine. With regard to the pit bulls he thinks

that was terrible and that dog should be taken away. It is the people not the

breed that are at fault. Steven Quat wants car spam to be eliminated. Jane Drucker noted that car spam is already illegal. Lisa Sarkin explained that all

businesses getting new licenses on Ventura Blvd have to have smokeless ashtrays.

We hope that there will be enforcement. Lawrence Beer acknowledged the utter

horror of the attack the pit bull. What do they want? He said there has to be responsibility and accountability for the owners. Alex Izbicki said certain breeds

are dangerous. He said that insurance should be part of the licensing process. He

said there are many options regarding smokeless cigarettes. Those may help

reduce the cigarette butt problem. Remy Kessler asked how they knew they had no insurance. Response: The dog’s owner said her employer does not offer it.

Richard Niederberg suggested they prepare their paperwork properly. Lisa

Cahan Davis asked about motions being followed up. John Walker said he has

written that down and will follow up.

11. Update from CD2 by Courtney Hamilton. Courtney Hamilton said they

have closed down the biggest medical marijuana shop in Studio City – Studio

Pharms. There are now 7 in Studio City proper and they are all prop D compliant. Vice squad is working hard to get rid of the noncompliant ones. They recently cut

the ribbon on a universally accessible playground park. This is the second one in

Studio City. This is a huge thing. She will address the county flood control district

property and they will be working with them and try to mitigate the resident’s issues with this. Lisa Cahan Davis asked about the universally accessible

playgrounds. How do you request this type of equipment in other parks?

Response: Go to the Park Advisiory Board. Richard Niederberg asked if

Moorpark Park was a universally accessible playground. Response: no. It is more accessible but does not meet all the requirements. Jon Epstein said he

sees a problem with the vapor shops. Is there anything happening with that?

They have to be licensed as a tobacco sales shop. It is an issue that needs to be

tackled. Response: I don’t know. Barry Johnson said there were only supposed to be 3 allowed from the 135 that were allowed. Under Prop D shops

were allowed to move. So some of them moved in their 180 days and they did so.

Crops used to be grown on that Agua Vista lot. Response: She is going to look

into the long term plan. Courtney Hamilton said she took over for Geoffrey Yazzetta. She is a dynamo!!!

12. Treasurer’s report by Remy Kessler. Remy Kessler gave the Treasurer’s Report. He explained the spread sheets to the new board members. He noted that the unexpended funds were $6,513. $1,500 of expenses previously approved

will not be spent so now thinks the remaining budget is about $8,000.

Motion: The Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council has reviewed

the Monthly Expenditure Report for March 2014 expenditures and hereby accepts and approves them.

are on other neighborhood councils. John Walker said this event is a great place

to get to know those on other NC’s.

15. Land Use Committee Report by Lisa Sarkin. Lisa Sarkin gave a report on

the last committee meeting. There is no limit to how many Medical Marijuana

Businesses can be in any particular community. The one on Moorpark that opens in the back is within 80 feet of the homes. The cut-off is 100 feet. There will be a

hearing on May 29th for the Xen Lounge. There are 40 violations of the CUP and

at least 25 people have complained. They have a permit for 60 people but they

have had many more than that. The Land Use Committee is trying to find out how the Valet Ordinance is being enforced. John Walker read the Motion A.

Lisa Sarkin gave report on the motion. She said that Brett Engstrom was here

representing Ralphs if there were questions. No one came to the meeting to

oppose this. Lawrence Beer wanted to know if this was the store at Ventura and Vineland. Steven Quat said 10:00 AM is too early to have people drinking. They

could serve 24 hours a day. Lisa Cahan Davis asked about limiting to beer and

wine. Lisa Sarkin said that was a request of the committee and Ralphs agreed.

Jane Drucker said can any individual go up to the liquor department and ask to taste wine or beer. Brett Engstrom said it is for preplanned events only. Lana

Shackelford added that there is a facility over the hill that has this.

Motion A: The Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council supports an on-site ABC Type #86 License (tastings) for Ralphs Market located at

10901 Ventura Blvd. [ZA-1998-0060] with tasting hours from 10am to

9pm, limited to beer and wine only.

Vote: Unanimous

John Walker read the motion and Lisa Sarkin gave backround on Motion B.

This is an established restauant. No opposition from the community. They agreed to the conditions which Lisa read in Exhibit A. These are established and have

been approved by the city attorney as enforceable. Jon Epstein asked about the smoke free ash tray. He is concerned about the traffic in the area.

Motion B: The Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council supports on-site sale of beer and wine at Le Pain Quotidien [ZA2014-070 (CUB),

John Walker read Motion C. Lisa Sarkin reported on the motion. She said that

property regarding the height. This is the only small lot subdivision we have seen

that we can support. The project lines up with the other properties on the block. There is open space on the ground for each unit. The developer could have

requested 5 units, but has a better design with only four units.

Motion C: The Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council supports a small lot subdivision located at 11370, 11372, 11374 & 11376 Aqua Vista

Street [AA-2014-895-PMLA-SL] including a required joint maintenance

agreement between the single-family homeowners.

Barry Johnson said these are already being built they were going to be

apartments but they now will be single family residences under the Small Lot

Ordinance. No curb cut outs. His concern is that there will be 12 trash cans on

the corner. He believes that we should keep these owners off the city system and they should have private trash service. Response: There is space for a dumpster

on this property. The city needs to do this for all small lot subdivisions. John

Lindblat asked if this is close to the sediment deposit site. Gail Steinberg said

there was discussion on the frontages conforming to the neighborhood. Richard Niederberg said it is amazing this is a project we can approve. Steven Quat said

this is a commercial property. Eric Lieberman said he represents the owner.

With regards to the trash on this property, each having their own trash cans is fully

compliance with the zoning. He has a draft maintenance agreement and it will state the hours when the cans can be out and where they are kept on the

property. The project is under construction because it is compliant. Jane

Drucker asked what the joint maintenance agreement means. Lisa Sarkin

explained what it is. Lawrence Beer said he wants to know what type of governance there will be for the maintenance agreement. If there is a fire what

happens? How does the maintenance agreement address that i.e. selection of a

contractor for the repairs? Response: Similar to HOA. The maintenance

agreement will be recorded and run with the property. Lana Shackelford said if joint maintenance agreement exists, then why not have private trash? Denise

Welvang called the question.

Vote: Yes: 12, NO: Villa, Abstain: Walker. Motion Carries.

16. Government Affairs Committee Report by Rita Villa. Rita Villa reported

that there was no GAC meeting this month.

17. Outreach Committee Report by Lisa Cahan Davis. Lisa Cahan Davis said LA Heritage day is taking place on April 27 from 11am to 4 pm. It is a great event

and everyone is encouraged to attend. A flyer will be sent out. With respect to

Movies in the Park, the majority of the funding request is for the rental of the

equipment. In the past we borrowed it from another NC. If we can’t borrow it this year we will use our funds, up to 500 per event, for equipment rental. Film LA

will support the popcorn at $500. At the last Outreach Committee meeting, a

guest said he could look into making the popcorn and handing it out too. He

works for Harvard Westlake. Rio Vista may have a choir at the event. Lisa Cahan Davis also said new bags and pens need to be ordered (for Premiums) for

the July 4th event at CBS and other SCNC summer events like Movies in the Park

and National Night Out. She is getting prices. Jon Epstein asked about Harvard

Westlake donating the popcorn. He asked if that is a conflict of interest with the application they have pending. Lee Davis said we should not eliminate them from

participation. Remy Kessler said this is not a conflict of interest because they are

donating to the community. Jane Drucker said we are in the midst of evaluating

their Land Use application. It creates the appearance of a conflict. Lawrence Beer said it is a valid question and asked if there is a process for asking the

question of the City Attorney. Steven Quat said for $500 is a lot for popcorn.

18. Public Safety Committee Report and Budget Advocates by Brandon Pender.

Brandon Pender reported that the last public safety meeting was last night. One of the topics in public comment was from the two gentlemen that spoke earlier

tonight about the pit bull incident. He will be looking into some of the issues in

the letter they referred to with the police department and animal control. With

respect to National Night Out, he is trying to lock down the location in the next week or so. The last CERT class took place on the night of the VANC mixer.

There were 45 graduates. He is looking into CERT 2 class and setting up a joint

disaster awareness course with the SCRA. There will be other events and take up

public safety issues. He said the SCNC should be taking it to the streets. Addressing things like tagging and lock it hide it keep it. We should put together

a web page, upload and have a public figure come with us and address the

problems and create a solution. As budget advocate some of the infrastructure

issues are addressed in the white paper. He congratulated the board on their election and welcomed the new members. He said he will be back. John Walker

said the CERT class was a great success. He asked what is holding up

confirmation of the physical space for the National Night Out. Brandon Pender

responded that it was the representative from pins. He said all but Staples was ok for holding another event at that location. The Staples manager said we blocked

off some of their parking. An emergency preparedness event will be hosted in

conjunction with the office of Adrin Nazarian and CD2. Lana Shackelford asked

if Brandon got to talk to the attendant at the National Night Out. Response: no.

19. Cultural Affairs Committee Report by Richard Niederberg. Richard

Niederberg said there were no changes from last month. Luminaria will be

December 6th. A Day in the Life event is June 21 submit your entries to the library by the 24th of May. The Library will receive and store the entries. The

City Attorney’s booth will be at our National Night Out.

Motion: The Board of the Studio City Neighborhood Council has serious

concern about the manner in which certain of the goals and objectives of the Mobility Plan will be accomplished. Specifically, we request that any

change to reclassify any of the streets in Studio City from their current

designation or to remove any of the lanes on any existing street from

vehicular traffic to utilize the lane for a bike lane, bus lane or pedestrian area be done only after notification to and consultation with the Studio

City Neighborhood Council. Such a change should not be by-right, but

should be the result of a case-by-case determination after giving

consideration to the level of use of the street and proposed improvements. The impact of any such proposed revision should be the

subject of a traffic study analysis and CEQA review. Additionally, the fact

that Studio City is a parking impacted area needs to be taken into

consideration. We request that none of the parking spaces on the streets are removed for the creation of parklets on a by-right approach. Each one

should be evaluated with a case-by-case determination.

The Studio City Neighborhood Council intends to review and respond to

the DEIR related to the Mobility Plan and that response will be the subject of a separate motion and submission.

Lisa Cahan Davis asked if other NC’s got the DEIR. Is there a way to ask for additional time to respond to the Mobility Plan? Jon Epstein and Richard

Niederberg agree with the motion. It will be fine-tuned later. Lawrence Beer

asked if it is right if it is in the general plan. Brandon Pender said we need to be

wise on allowing the people downtown to metropolize small communities like Studio City and Toluca Lake. We are village like. Ventura Blvd. is not the place

to do this. It is not looking at the future. Lisa Sarkin said if we take a lane off of

Ventura we will have no place for cars to go. There is no circulation. We have

alleys that are pitted and in need of repair. Denise Welvang called the question.

Vote: 12 yes; John Walker abstained.

21.Bylaws Committee Report by Jane Drucker. Jane Drucker had meeting on level

of experience being required for serving on the board.

22. Comments from Board Members on subject matters within the Board’s jurisdiction.

John Walker asked new board members to get their photo id taken. Cards and badges will be ordered after committee chairs assigned. Steven Quat thanked his wife for sitting here all night. Lana Shackelford gave the SCNC an update

the SCNC on the gas leaf blowers. She is getting the information to the lead

officer. Lisa Sarkin asked what is happening with the computer for the office.

Jon Epstein said while he was on the east coast they took city bikes around. Denise Welvang said USC has bikes like that. Alex Izbicki said he came back

from the UK. We have a problem with noise pollution. He said London is not that

loud. He suggests we leave for a week. Courtney Hamilton said we are actively

trying to reduce noise. Trees cut down noise. Gail Steinberg said the biggest problem is enforcement of the laws. Wouldn’t it be great if our council person

would get on board and get people that are trained to enforce some of the laws?

Jane Drucker said if I site you and you have a concealed weapon you could be

killed. Lisa Sarkin said you can report things to the committees.

23. Adjournment. Brought by: Jon Epstein; Second: Rita Villa;

Vote: Unanimous.
