I don't think they should approve that. We have an article related to internet crimes against children. What about the crimes committed by the police against children? And then, of course, I don't know, it seems to kind of worry me that we're taking these scholarships from the Department of Justice. The justice department is insane. We should take money from them right now. So we have, we see here we have nine.

Here, please, you can do three things. We will continue the instructions as a special board. When your name is called, please come up to the podium and say that you would like one minute for your article and two minutes total if you have anything else to say. Finally, talk about it. They have to discuss the topic. If you're not talking about the topic, or if we can't tell that we're talking about the topic, we're going to give you a warning about it, like a child, so you're going to waste your time continuing to talk. Here's the article you want to see, number two, one minute. I am the president of the representative group C. State for 26 years, my firm represented JC. We told the city that a person who was selling furniture would benefit the city because it would have a way to do everything at once. I was in high school, but we're reflecting on that with Luente when we're practicing that contract, and we realized we're wrong. They have to make a decision today or they have to consider the kiosk program. One of the recommendations is to consider whether they will go to RFP or if perhaps they will not enter into a contract with the person. When they did that, they gave him a monopoly on the city street and that didn't work and we were wrong. I'm here to say how you're going to consider this today, please consider making one. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello. I represent. The article. Yes. One minute. The city is going to deliver for an interactive kosco. I want them to …

Happily on the city street right of way. It didn't work out well and we were wrong. And I'm here to say that, as you consider it today, please consider going for an RFP instead. Thank you, thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is Casey Maddren and I represent citizens for a Better Los Angeles. As the city moves toward issuing, what item would you like to speak on? I'm sorry. Item number two. Okay. One minute. As the city moves toward issuing an RFP for an interactive kiosk program, there are some important issues we ask you to remember. First, the city has entered into a settlement with our group related to the Stap program. If the city enters into a new agreement for kiosks in the public right of way, it could be necessary to revise the municipal code, which could conflict with the terms of our settlement. We're concerned that the protections that the city agreed to might be abandoned if a kiosk program is adopted. Second, and most importantly, our privacy concerns. These are interactive kiosks. They do collect data. Every ad tech company will tell you that they only collect anonymous data, but their privacy policies often say otherwise. The city of L.A. needs to develop its own privacy policy regarding these devices and make any agreement it signs conditional on the ad tech company complying with this policy. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi there. Item two as well, please. Okay. One minute. My name is Clay Colette. I'm a resident of LA and vice president …

Item 3 would instruct the Department of Building and Safety in coordination with LAFD to withhold rebuild and reconstruction permits until LAFD confirms that its investigation is complete and all evidence preservation needs have been satisfied. It would also direct the preparation of an interim control ordinance temporarily pausing specified permits for large cold storage facilities near homes, schools, parks, daycare centers, and libraries in Boyle Heights while the city develops stronger land use safeguards and evaluates appropriate discretionary and environmental review. Item 4 addresses another failure in our current system. Pen alties so small that a corporation can treat them as a routine cost of doing business. It would direct LEDBS and the city attorney to return within seven days with recommendation for penalties ranging from $25,000 to up to $1 million per fine. It would also explore dedicating fees and fines collected from noncompliance at this site to financial assistance for impacted residents, workers, and businesses. A fine that can simply be budgeted is not a deterrent. It is a permission slip.

When visitors come here, they get to see animals that live right off our coast. Here in Southern California. It's an enjoyable place, and I'm really thrilled. The team that works here at Kaboom and Aquarium is excellent. Whether we're teaching them about whales or grunion, it's just a very, very special place. And I'm glad to be a part of it. This is the entry to the exhibit hall, and behind me is the story of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, our 90 year history. This wonderful exhibit has a map that explains what's happening inside the exhibit hall. As you're walking around through the maze of the exhibit hall, there's different habitats this helps you guide along through the exhibits and see all the beautiful animals that are here in their habitats. We've been here 90 years teaching about marine life of southern California and we teach about the conservation, how everyone can help do their part to conserve the beautiful animals and the life of Southern California. Here we are at the Jelly Lab. This is a very special lab, brand new. We just finished completing it. We have a culture area where we're growing. Baby jellies.
