Thank you. Hi, I'm a little bit. Thank you. trust, trust, trust, you know, Thank you. We all know, Let's get you. on the green belt or anywhere else. It simply allows Bark for a Park to begin gathering the professional, financial and operational information that the council and the community need to make to make informed decisions. The MOU and the proposed green belt ballot measure are also two separate things. The ballot measure would allow Hermosa Beach residents to express their support for or opposition to permitting off-leash dog activity on a defined portion of the green belt. Even if the measure passes that would not automatically approve or build a dog park. A proposed park would still require designs, public input, environmental review, funding and future council approval. We have heard from residents who oppose a dog park on the green belt as well as residents who believe that there just aren't still many, there are many unanswered questions. This will work, this work that will be done under this MOU is intended to address those questions, not bypass them. In May the council directed that two potential locations be studied, Valley Park East and a portion of the green belt, green belt south of Pierre Avenue. Bark for a Park offered to fund and lead that work under the city's direction. The MOU will allow us to begin work that work. To develop realistic designs and accurate cost estimates, we need access to city departments and permission for qualified professionals, …

Thank you. All right. Thank you. We're going to have a speaker cards. Thank you. for discussion. So, thank you. I want to define the standard that I'm using. So minutes exist so that a member of the public, just who wasn't in the room, can read them and understand what actually happened and know what the board decided. And I just, I don't think these minutes meet that bar. And I just wanna briefly walk through two examples. I promise I'm concise here. So two examples. I have a couple of substantive concerns about how the minutes were prepared. For example, item six notes that board member Williams asked a question about the vote on Vice Chair Wolf's appointment and requested that the vote be reflected in the minutes, but the vote itself was never actually recorded anywhere in the documents. Just another example, items seven A and seven B, both state that a motion was made and carried, but neither includes a roll call vote. While item six A in the same set of minutes does include one. So in addition to these kind of substantive, these are just examples. So in addition to these kind of substantive examples, there's other issues of consistency and formatting that, I don't wanna get in the weeds today, because it'll be a mess if we try to do this by voice. So I'm offering to sit down with the staff after the meeting and just to go through the minutes in detail, so we can bring back a clean, complete set that uses a consistent format that we can just replicate for other meetings. …

Music playing. over time. So what I believe Lisa is getting at here is that these positions will still be doing what they are doing, but they will be doing more for the department that has evolved over the last two to three years as well. But it's evolved partly because maybe the film revenue wasn't there. I mean, I'd like to be up front if that's the case. Well, it seems to me that those are issues that are more in the bailiwick of the city council itself. Correct. Our job here is simply the specifications for the class so that people can be hired into the class who have the appropriate background and abilities to perform the job that's been assigned to them. That is correct. I totally disagree with that. I think that in this case, respectfully , I think in this case, we have two positions that are changing very radically. If you look at the new job descriptions, the part that's special events and film licensing is one line compared to probably 10 or 12 lines of other responsibilities that touch every area of parks and rec. And so to me, this should be a new position for budgeting purposes that should be disclosed to the city council for two new positions, not, I mean, this is a total change of job description, a job title from filming and special events to now their recreation, whatever they are. Well, but again, the city council has the responsibility for allocating positions to the department. It can cut them out , it can increase them, it responds to the department's req …
