AT THIS

[ LA HABRA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT PRESENTATION REGARDING EARLY DEVELOPMENT INDEX (EDI)]

OKAY, GOOD EVENING.

CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? GOOD.

OKAY.

GOOD EVENING.

MAYOR ESPINOSA AND CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS DEBBIE VIVEROS AND I AM THE PROUD EARLY LEARNING COORDINATOR FOR THE LAHABRA CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT ON BEHALF, ON BEHALF OF DR.

JOANNE CULVERHOUSE, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, FIRST FIVE OF ORANGE COUNTY AND THE EARLY LEARNING COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME HERE TONIGHT TO SHARE THE EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL INDEX WITH YOU AND LAHABRA IS EDI DATA.

BEFORE I BEGIN, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE LITTLE LEARNERS TASK FORCE MEMBERS.

THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENT ALL SECTORS OF THE HOMBRE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, CITY OFFICIALS, COMMUNITY AGENCIES, AND FAMILIES THAT ARE WORKING TO EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE FOR EARLY LEARNING IN THE HOT BREATH.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR COMMITMENT AND TIRELESS WORK ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ENSURING THAT CHILDREN THRIVE.

SORRY, ENSURING THAT CHILDREN THRIVE MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO START YOUNG NATIONALLY, CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES ARE 25% MORE LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.

40% MORE LIKELY TO BECOME A TEEN PARENT, 50% MORE LIKELY TO BE PLACED IN SPECIAL EDUCATION.

60% MORE LIKELY TO NEVER ATTEND COLLEGE AND 70% MORE LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED FOR VIOLENT CRIME, HIGH QUALITY, EARLY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN.

YEARS OF RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT SCHOOL READINESS, HOW A CHILD IS PREPARED TO START KINDERGARTEN IS A CRITICAL AND CRUCIAL PIECE TO SETTING OUR CHILDREN ON THE BEST POSSIBLE TRAJECTORY FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND IN LIFE COMMUNITIES WHO SCORE HIGH IN SCHOOL READINESS HAVE HIGHER THIRD GRADE READING SCORES, HIGHER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES, WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO MORE HIGHER SUCCESS IN FUTURE AND THEIR FUTURE.

SO HOW DO WE, AS A COMMUNITY KNOW, IF OUR CHILDREN WILL BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN, THE EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL INDEX EDI MEASURES FIVE SCHOOL READINESS BUILDING BLOCKS ON A COMMUNITY-WIDE LEVEL EVERY THREE YEARS, THOSE BUILDING BLOCKS ARE IMPORTANT TO IT THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO A CHILD'S SUCCESS.

OUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING, SOCIAL COMPETENCE, EMOTIONAL MATURITY, LANGUAGE, AND COGNITIVE SKILLS AND COMMUNICATION AND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.

THE EDI DATA IS REPORTED BY COMMUNITIES AND ARE RANKED

[00:05:01]

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN EACH ADI BUILDING BLOCK IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, FIRST HEALTH AND WELLBEING EVALUATES CHILDREN'S GROWTH AND FINE MOTOR DEVELOPMENT.

SO WE ASK OURSELVES, CAN A CHILD, CAN THE CHILD HOLD A PENCIL OR CAN THEY SUSTAIN ENERGY THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR SCHOOL SOCIAL COMPETENCE EVALUATES CHILDREN'S APPROACH TO LEARNING ARE THE CHILDREN ABLE TO GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER OR FOLLOW THIS CLASSROOM RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS? THE THIRD AREA OF THE EDI IS EMOTIONAL MATURITY, EMOTIONAL MATURITY MEASURES, CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR AND FEELINGS ARE THE CHILDREN ABLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO DIRECTIONS AND ARE THEY WILLING TO HELP OTHERS? THE FOURTH AREA IS LANGUAGE AND COGNITIVE SKILLS.

THIS EVALUATES INTEREST IN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL READING OR LITERACY AND NUMERACY SKILLS.

SO ARE THE CHILDREN ABLE TO READ SIMPLE WORDS OR ARE THEY ABLE TO WRITE THEIR NAME AND IDENTIFY THE LETTERS OF THEIR NAME? THE FINAL BUILDING BLOCK MEASURED BY THE EDI IS COMMUNICATION AND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ARE CHILDREN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THEIR NEEDS AND TAKE PART IN IMAGINATIVE, PLAY THESE FIVE AREAS, LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE SUCCESS.

WHEN CHILDREN ENTER KINDERGARTEN STRONG AND THESE FIVE AREAS, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP THE CHARACTERISTICS AND SKILLS THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT THE EDI ASSESSMENT AND ITS RESULTS.

EVERY THEORY, EVERY THREE YEARS, TEACHERS ACROSS THE COUNTY ASSESS EACH CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT ON A A HUNDRED ITEM CHECKLIST DURING THE SPRING OF KINDERGARTEN, KINDERGARTEN, KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS AND LOL JOINT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND THE HARBOR CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL BE ADMINISTERING THE EDI AGAIN IN THE SPRING OF 2022, EDI DOES NOT SCORE INDIVIDUAL CHILDREN.

INSTEAD IT REPORTS THE RESULTS BY CITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS, REVEALING ASSETS AND VULNERABILITIES OF YOUNG CHILDREN IN EACH COMMUNITY.

THE EDI EFFORTS ARE LED BY FIRST FIVE ORANGE COUNTY AND IN THE ORANGE COUNTY, WE ARE LEADING THE EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS OF YOUNG CHILDREN.

EACH CHILD'S EDA FOR EDI FORM IS CODED TO THE HOME ADDRESS OF THE CHILD.

THIS ALLOWS US TO CREATE MAPS, REVEALING NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THESE NEIGHBORHOODS CAN REVEAL THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENTALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN, COMMUNITY ASSETS, SUCH AS PARKS, LIBRARIES, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND INDICATES OTHER INDICATORS SUCH AS POVERTY, MOBILITY, AND PARENT EDUCATION.

THESE MAPS DO NOT IDENTIFY WHERE A CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL.

FOR EXAMPLE, A CHILD WHO GOES TO SCHOOL IN FULLERTON OR IN ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT THEY LIVE IN LA HABRA WILL BE REPORTED ON THE EDI FOR OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY LIVE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY BOUNDARIES.

THE EDI MAPS, HELP PROVIDERS, STAKEHOLDERS, AND RESIDENTS DEVELOP TARGETED STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY.

HERE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT AN OVERVIEW OF EDI FOR THE CITY OF LA HOMBRE.

THIS MAP BREAKS DOWN THE DATA BY NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHICH COMMUNITIES ARE MOST VULNERABLE.

THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE OUTLINED IN RED.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THE DARKEST HAVE THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT READY FOR KINDERGARTEN.

THE YELLOW CIRCLES REPRESENTS THE POVERTY OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE EDI RESULTS FOR LAHABRA REVEALED THAT 40% OF OUR CHILDREN ARE READY AND PREPARED FOR KINDERGARTEN.

WITH 60% OF OUR CHILDREN DEVELOP MENTALLY VULNERABLE FOR SUCCESS IN KINDERGARTEN, MAKING THE CHILDREN OF LAHABRA SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE IN ORANGE COUNTY, LIKE OTHER CHILDREN IN ORANGE COUNTY, LAHABRA HIS CHILDREN ARE AT RISK IN THE FOLLOWING SUB DOMAINS, GROSS AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS AT 63% OVERALL SOCIAL COMPETENCE AT 65% AND PRO SOCIAL AND HELPING BEHAVIOR AT 70%.

AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE COMMON THROUGHOUT ALL YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE COUNTY, KNOWING OUR EDI DATA.

AND WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE IN LA HABRA TO IMPROVE THE EDI RESULTS AND MAKE LAHABRA A CHILD CENTERED COMMUNITY.

FIRST, THE LAHABRA CITY

[00:10:01]

WE CURRENTLY SERVING OVER 350 FAMILIES, CHILDREN, AND FAMILIES THROUGH OUR SCHOOL FREEZE SCHOOL READINESS PROGRAM.

NEXT YEAR, WE ARE OPENING AN EARLY LEARNING OFFICE AT THE FRONT OF LAS LOMAS SCHOOL TO SUPPORT CHILDREN'S AND SUPPORT FAMILIES AND PROVIDE RESOURCES TO THE EARLY LEARNING COMMUNITY.

THAT DISTRICT WILL BE HOSTING EARLY LEARNING ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY.

ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE SUPPORTING LAHABRA PRESCHOOL COMMUNITY PRIDE, PROVIDING INFORMATION, RESOURCE RESOURCES AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT.

SINCE JULY 1ST, THE LAHABRA CITY CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM HAS DEVELOPED THE PRESCHOOL TASK FORCE, WHICH HAS FOCUSED ON A HIGH QUALITY TEACHING, INCLUDING DEVELOPING A ROADMAP FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR, ONGOING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND WEEKLY LESSON PLANS.

BASED ON THE PRESCHOOL STANDARDS TO DATE, THE STUDENTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN THEIR KINDERGARTEN READINESS SKILLS, MORE THAN TRIPLING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC SKILLS.

OVER PREVIOUS YEARS, THE LITTLE LEARNERS TASK FORCE IS OUR THIRD PILLAR TO THIS.

THE LITTLE LEARNERS TASKFORCE IS A GROUP OF OVER 30 AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY PARK PARTNERS WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS TO EDUCATE THE LAHABRA COMMUNITY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD.

WE ARE DEVELOPING OUT OF ADVOCACY TRAINING FOR FAMILIES AND A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR EARLY LEARNING RESOURCES IN OUR CITY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, BUT ALL OF US GOVERNMENT SCHOOL AGENCIES, BUSINESS, COMMUNITY AGENCIES, AND FAMILIES CAN COME TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE AND SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN.

WE CAN CREATE A CHILD CENTERED COMMUNITY WHERE ALL OF OUR CHILDREN CAN GROW AND SUCCEED.

AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR EDR.

I RESULTS WITH YOU.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE ON BEHALF OF OUR CHILDREN.

MY NAME IS MICHAEL PLOTNIK.

I'M THE TRAFFIC MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF LA HABRA.

AND WHAT I'M PRESENTING TO YOU IS FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT.

WE HAVE A SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECT THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, THE CITY OF FULLERTON AND CALTRANS, AND WE'RE GOING TO COORDINATE GILBERT AND IDAHO.

AND IT ALSO GOES THROUGH SOME CALTRANS INTERSECTIONS.

AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO KEEP EVERYBODY MOVING, KEEP TRAFFIC EMISSIONS DOWN AND REDUCE DELAYS THAT ARE AFTER A WHILE SIGNALS GO OUT OF COORDINATION.

AND THEN WE START GETTING CALLS THAT PEOPLE ARE STUCK AT LIGHT.

SO THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO KEEP EVERYBODY MOVING, BUT THIS SPECIFIC ITEM, IT'S A BLUETOOTH BLUETOOTH DEVICE.

IT JUST KEEPS TRACK OF HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE DRIVING THROUGH THERE WHEN THEY HAVE ANY KIND OF BLUETOOTH DEVICE, IT'LL PICK IT UP AND IT'LL KNOW IF THEY'RE CONTINUING THROUGH THE CORRIDOR AND WE ALREADY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH FULLERTON IN PLACE.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST BUY THE EQUIPMENT.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR MARKET UP.

IT'LL SAVE US SOME MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.

AND THIS IS PART OF WE'RE BUYING THESE AND CAMERAS.

AND THEN WE'RE JUST UPDATING SOME TIMING THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT.

IF WE COULD HAVE A STAFF REPORT, GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS ZONE CHANGE 21 DASH ZERO TWO CONSISTS OF UPDATES TO FIVE DIFFERENT CODE SECTIONS IN THE LOBBY MUNICIPAL CODE.

THAT INCLUDES SECTION 18 POINT 1218 0.04 18.06 18.330 AND 18.52.

THESE ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE IN NATURE AND A RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN STATE LAW.

THE FIRST ITEM FOUND IT AS EXHIBIT A IS AN UPDATE TO THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT SECTION.

THE CURRENT VERSION WAS ADOPTED THROUGH URGENCY ORDINANCE 1813 OVER A YEAR AGO TO PROPOSE CHANGES, ORGANIZES A SECTION IN THE SEQUENTIAL MANNER AND FILLS IN SOME STANDARDS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE STATE LAW ITEM TWO CONSIST OF THE UPDATES TO THE DEFINITION SECTION CONTAINED IN SECTION 18.0 4.030 IN THE ZONING CODE TERMS THAT WERE OUT OF DATE, SUCH AS DAINER SURREY, OR SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT OR REMOVED AND UPDATED

[00:25:01]

THESE TERMS WERE USED IN OTHER SECTIONS OF THE CODE.

UM, THESE UPDATES DON'T CHANGE ANY EXISTING POLICIES WITHIN THE MUNICIPAL CODES.

THE PROPOSAL CONSISTS OF MAKING PROJECTS OF 60 MINUTES OR LESS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PUD SECTION.

THIS CHANGE PRECLUDES A REQUIREMENT FOR PREPARING COSTLY STUDIES AND EXHIBITS AND FALLS IN LINE WITH STATE MANDATES TO REDUCE THE IMPEDIMENTS TO HOUSING CONSTRUCTION.

IN ADDITION, THE CHANGE FALLS ALIGN WITH SECRET EXEMPTION ONE FIVE THREE ZERO THREE.

THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UM, ARE THERE ANY, UH, QUESTIONS FROM THE STAFF? WELL, FIRST I'LL ASK, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS IF I MIGHT HAVE THEM THERE? YES.

CHRIS, DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW, UM, WE HAD THE ADU LAW GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1ST, 2022.

WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW MANY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS HAVE, UM, YOU KNOW, BEEN BUILT OR AT LEAST HAD THE PROCESS STARTED HERE IN LA HABRA SINCE, UH, FROM THAT TIME WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN TRACKING THAT NUMBER.

SO FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS, 2018 AND 20 2019, WE DID ABOUT EIGHT TO 10 UNITS PER YEAR.

IN 2020, WE DID 47 UNITS.

WE PROCESSED 47 UNITS AND TO DATE FOR 2021, WE WERE UP TO ABOUT, ABOUT 10.

SO, UM, THERE'S A BIG GROUNDSWELL FOR, FOR 80 YEARS.

AND, UM, THE THING IS, PEOPLE START THE PROCESS AND SOMETIMES THEY FIND OUT IT'S A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEY EXPECT, AND THEY DON'T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END.

BUT, UM, WE ARE PROCESSING A LOT AT THIS TIME.

SO YOU SAID 47 AND THE YEAR 20, 20 AND 10 SO FAR THIS YEAR, CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT.

AND I HAD A QUESTION, I WAS ASKING THE CITY MANAGER IN THE ATTACHMENT, UM, A IT'S IF YOU GO TO THE PAGE THREE, I UNDER, UM, HI F A R IN SITE COVERAGE TO B READS, PROVIDE AN ADU, PROVIDED AN ADU COMPLIES WITH THE HEIGHTENED ADU SETBACK STANDARDS FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED FAR IN PSYCH COVERED STANDARDS, DO NOT APPLY TO AN ADU THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE MORE THAN 800 SQUARE FEET.

D W DID THAT.

SO THAT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 800 SQUARE FEET OR MORE THAN CORRECT.

IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN, MORE THAN, OR LESS THAN THAT.

IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED TO WHAT YOU BROUGHT UP.

SO IT SHOULD BE, IT WOULD NOT APPLY UNDER 800 SQUARE FEET, SO, SO LESS THAN CORRECT.

OKAY.

I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT'VE BEEN, UM, BACKWARDS.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, SO WE'LL, WE'LL CORRECT THAT, UM, BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT, IT WOULD BE LESS THAN 800 SQUARE FEET MOTION AND THE MOTION TO ADOPT THE ITEM.

IF YOU COULD JUST MAKE THAT NOTE AND WE'LL MAKE THAT CORRECTION.

UH, DO 80 USE, DO THEY COUNT TOWARDS OUR ARENA NUMBERS OR WILL THEY, DO WE, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT INDICATES THAT MAYBE SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WE CAN COUNT AN ADU AS A, AS A, UH, THE INDICATION IS WE CAN'T, WE CAN COUNT THEM FOR LOW INCOME UNITS.

OKAY.

AND ONE PROJECT THAT, UH, REALLY, UH, IT WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

I ACTUALLY DID A LITTLE STORY OF IT FOR, UH, UM, WAS THE PROJECT UP ON BEACH BOULEVARD AND WHITTIER BOULEVARD, THE BLIGHTED CARWASH.

IT WAS SUCH A BLIGHTED PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR SO LONG.

I KNOW YOU WERE ESSENTIAL PLAYING AN ESSENTIAL PART IN TURNING THAT PROPERTY OVER, AND NOW IT'S GETTING LOPSIDED.

WE LOST CHIEF PRICE WITH A DODGER FAN.

NOW YOU'RE A DODGER FAN.

SO, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M GOING TO BE THE LONE DODGER FAN HERE AS PART OF MY MASTER, UH, MY MASTER, A PLAN TO GET RID OF ALL THE DODGERS, BUT, BUT THANK YOU ANDREW.

VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL YOU'VE DONE HERE AND WE'RE CERTAINLY GONNA MISS YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS, NEW YORK, FORMER POLICE CHIEF RECEIVE A LIFETIME LEGACY AWARD AND WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT TO OUR AWARD CEREMONY AND APPRECIATION LUNCHEON OR DINNER THAT WE HAD FOR, FOR THE EMPLOYEES.

UH, THIS LAST TUESDAY, MAUREEN, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

UH, MADAM MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A REQUEST.

IF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES WOULD CONSIDER HAVING A TILE DONATED OR IN THE NAME OF CRUZ REINOSO, WHO PASSED AWAY IN THE CENTRAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND ROSE, I KNOW YOU HONORED HIM A FEW YEARS AGO AT ROSIE'S GARAGE.

AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO HIM AND INTERVIEW HIM AS WELL WHEN HE HAD HIS FAMILY REUNION, VERY SPECIAL CALLING, AND I'D LIKE TO ADJOURN HIS MEMORY.

LET ME JUST READ A LITTLE SOMETHING HERE.

I HAVE UP FOR HIM CRUISE RIGHT NOW.

SO IT WAS THE FIRST LATINO ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT SERVING FROM 1982 TO 1987, PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 90 CRUZ.

REYNOSO WAS BORN AND BRED AT CALIFORNIA ON MAY 2ND, 1931, AND WAS ONE OF 11 CHILDREN IN 1938.

THE FAMILY MOVED TO LA HOMBRE IN THE ALTA VISTA AREA WHERE HE ATTENDED WILSON SCHOOL AND FULLERTON UNION HIGH SCHOOL.

HE RECEIVED HIS ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE IN 1951 FROM FULLERTON COLLEGE, HIS BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE IN 1953 FROM POMONA COLLEGE, THEN JOINED THE U S ARMY IN 1953 AND THEN RECEIVED HIS BACHELOR'S OF LAW DEGREE IN 1958 FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY LAW SCHOOL, CRUZ REIGN, ELSA CAREER INCLUDED AS PRIVATE LAW PRACTICE, ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE, CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEALS, THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT, AND WAS A FACULTY MEMBER AT UCLA SCHOOL OF LAW AND THE UNIVERSITY OF DAVIS LAW SCHOOL AS WELL, WHERE HE RETIRED IN 2006.

SO ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY COLLEAGUES ON THE LA HARBOR CITY COUNCIL, OUR STAFF MEMBERS, WE EXTEND OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE CRUZ RAYNOSO FAMILY.

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THEM.

UH, DURING THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME, HE CERTAINLY MADE AN IMPACT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN I TALKED TO HIM, WE TALKED ABOUT THE DAY'S BACA AND WILSON SCHOOL AND HIM BEING A PART OF THAT.

AND HE JUST HAS VERY, VERY DEEP ROOTS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SO I WOULD ASK, I THINK IT'D BE KIND OF A NICE WAY IF WE CAN DO THE TILE FOR HIM, BUT ALSO TALK TO THE MEMBERS OF THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM.

I'VE TALKED TO HIS FAMILY, WE'RE GOING TO PLAN TO DO A DISPLAY IN HIS HONOR AT THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM.

MAYBE PUT HIS ROLE ABOUT THERE SOME HISTORICAL PICTURES AND HOPEFULLY UNVEIL IT FOR THE CORN FESTIVAL WEEKEND.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE THINKING.

I THINK WE WERE ALL PROBABLY THINKING THE SAME.

UH, I HAD, UH, THE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD GO DO SOMETHING AS WELL, MEMORIAL PLAQUE, SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO WHERE HE LIVES SOMEWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE, UM, HIS STORY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN AND THAT KIDS WILL BE INSPIRED BY THIS PERSON WHO LIVED IN A, IN, IN A, IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND ROSE TO BE THE FIRST LATINO SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR CALIFORNIA.

SO I THINK THAT A MEMORIAL PLAQUE CAN ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THAT FOR HIM BECAUSE, UM, HIS LOSS IS VERY DEEP FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AS YOU SAID, UM, I DID

[00:45:01]

UM, GO, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY CONFLICT? NO.

I JUST ECHO TO WHAT, UH, UH, COUNCILMAN GOLDMANS HAD SAID, AND YES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE, GREAT WORDS THAT YOU HAD PUT OUT THERE AND A BIG LOSS FOR THE, UH, FOR THE COMMUNITY AND FOR LATINOS, OTHERS, UH, WE'LL SAY, UNDER THE BEST IN YOUR NEW JOB.

AND IT'S, UH, JUST WANTED TO SAY IT WAS, UH, GREAT WORKING WITH YOU OVER THESE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, SO YOU'LL DO GREAT OVER THERE AND, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL MISS YOU, BUT COME BACK AROUND ONCE IN A WHILE.

ALL RIGHT.

A MAYOR PRO TEM IMAGE TORONTO WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING AS WELL.

YES.

UH, IT IN AS WELL AS ALREADY AGREEING TO A CRUISE, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO THANK ANDREW.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LET THAT GO BY.

CAUSE I HAD, I HAD JUST SENT JIM A MESSAGE EARLIER IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, NOT KNOWING WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS, BUT, UH, ANDREW, THANK YOU.

UH, WHAT YOU'VE MEANT TO THE BUSINESSES IN LAHABRA, UH, AND, UH, AND YES, UH, COUNCILMAN GOMEZ, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, SAID IT BEST THAT BLIGHTED AREA ON, UH, ON WHITTIER BOULEVARD, A BEACH, WHAT A TURNAROUND, UH, WHAT A HUGE TURNAROUND IT'S, UH, IT'S NICE TO GO THROUGH THE, UH, THROUGH THE DRIVE, THROUGH LINE IT IN AND OUT FROM TIME TO TIME AND STARBUCKS AND, UH, UH, AS WELL AS GET THE AUTO PART ITEMS THERE, UH, AS WELL.

SO, I MEAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
