22. COUNCIL REMARKS
1) MAYOR PRO TEM TANAKA - Since the last meeting, he attended the State of the City address by our Mayor, it was a really great event, being a part of this great C ity for 71 years, it was nostalgic to look back at some of the C ity's history. He attended Casino Night supporting our seniors at the Nakaoka Community Center; Ms. Santin and her staff did a great job. Sadly, he attended the funeral of retired Gardena Police Officer , Cruz Olivares, he was a really great officer , who retired and unfortunately passed away. He attended the COG Housing Trust Advisory Committee meeting. He attended the RCC Board meeting, they approved the budget and they’re trying to hire more dispatchers, so anybody looking for a dispatcher job should contact RCC. He attended the 88 Cities conference in Torrance, he thanked Council Member Dr. Henderson for being a part of the COG panel regarding the South Bay cities fiber network. He appreciates Community Development and staff members for showing up to this event. The event was hosted by Torrance Mayor George Chen. The Keynote Speaker was Tara Lynn Gray, who's a Director of the California Office of Small Business Advocate, who put on a really great message. He attended the law enforcement B adges Blood Drive, thank you Chief for always doing that. Hopefully, you guys win again. He attended the Eagle Scout awards presentation at the Gardena Valley Baptist Church for honorees of T roop #719. He mentioned their names, spoke of their commitment and dedicatio n. Lastly, he attended the Board of Supervisors meeting, to support and request approval of Measure A fundings for the South Bay cities. He received an e- mail from Jackie Bach arach, our Director, who said that it passed so he’s thankful for that and for Supervisor Hong and the rest of the supervisors.
2) COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS - Since the last meeting, she attended the State of the City and the Girl Boss workshop. She thanked Carolina Gongora, their Public Information Officer, from the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District. She also gave a special thank you to Barbara Phillips for coming out to represent the Beautification Commission. If you see any graffiti anywhere, please call it in. She wants to thank the Public Works department for doing such a great job as soon as the calls come in, they get it done as fast as they can. She mentioned that as we go towards the month of April students are out for spring break, so you'll see more young people on the streets riding bicycles, keep an eye out for them. She thanked everybody for coming out and supporting our City Council meeting.
3) COUNCIL MEMBER LOVE - Since the last meeting, she attended Casino night. She also attended the Willows Wetland Preserve Spring Equinox. She had the honor of sponsoring the snacks and the lunch for them, but she was really excited because in exchange she got nice little vegetable plants. She also attended the Carson State of the City address which was pretty amazing. Carson is definitely on the move, and they have a lot that they're about to do in preparation for the upcoming big events such as the World Cup, and the Olympics. She was speaking to the Mayor from Carson, and they were talking about how Gardena can start to position itself for capitalization on some of these big events. She’s hoping that we can start some kind of campaign to market the multiple
Docusign Envelope ID: 4A0E0421-2101-44E8-91B5-2D8B8CBC48A6 9 diverse restaurants that we have, and we might be able to benefit from these events coming into the state. She shared with Councilwoman Francis that she thought she was going to have to replace your Commissioner Barbara Phillips because she was having some personal issues , but then on Monday Commissioner Barbara Philips made it a point to pull her out of a meeting to tell her that no if she has not replaced her , then please don't because she really wants to stay. Commissioner Barbara Philips loves your Commission that much, she just thought Council Member Francis should know that. She also spoke on the graffiti; she agrees and encourages residents to report all graffiti not just the big graffiti that's tagged on the walls with the spray paint but also graffiti that's written on our light poles, our street poles, our trash cans, and even our business windows. She encourages the community to get involved and it goes back to what the Chief said earlier without your community involvement and telling us what you want from us then they won't know. She strongly encourages more of our residents to become more engaged, more aware, attend the council meetings, and start getting involved in hearing and letting their voice be heard.
4) MAYOR CERDA - Since the last council meeting, she attended the LA County Sanitation personnel meeting. She also attended Environmental Charter S chool, the school had their 6th graders do a project on community issues that they saw around the city and how they would fix it. They did a great job, all the young people presenting, they all had talking points they created their own flyers along with poster boards. She attended the Emperor of Japan's birthday celebration at the Japanese C onsulate General’s home, along with our Mayor Pro Tem Tanaka. She also had the opportunity to be out with Public Works when they were doing the railroad. She thanked Public Works for doing an amazing job. She also attended Serra High School’s 75th anniversary , which was held at the Westdrift Hotel, and it was really great to see so many former students that graduated even in the 60s. She also attended a tour of Nissin Foods, their CEO was so gracious to accommodate her, the City Manager, and a couple of our employees on this tour. They were able to see how cup noodles are made and to see it from its initial dough and how it's rolled out, processed and packaged. Also, she had the opportunity to attend the youth sports league, they had two different banquets on two different nights and that is always great to help award the young people for participating in sports. She also attended a Sister City International meeting. She also attended the 49th Annual Koi show banquet, the group is just so thankful for always being able to have their event hosted here in the City of Gardena and they go on and on about how great our staff is to them.
Also, she attended our State of the City, and she just wants to thank everybody who played a part in it, putting that entire event together, from the staff who decorated, to those who were just helping get all the information from all the different departments. It came off well, showing the history of every department as it relates to when Gardena was first incorporated in 1930 to where we're at right now. She thanked the Chief for his presentation. She also attended Casino Night, another great event that was held by our staff, our residents want to have a Casino Night every month, it's just that good. She also attended Coffee with a Cop again another successful event. She attended her monthly CCGA meeting, and her local S anitation meeting, she also attended Carson's State of the City, another great event. As Mayors, a lot of times they always like to support each other, their Mayor comes here, she goes over there, and they always share ideas of what they’re doing in their cities, and how they can help each other out and so she was really happy just to see some of the great success that the city of Carson's is having. She had
Docusign Envelope ID: 4A0E0421-2101-44E8-91B5-2D8B8CBC48A6 10 the opportunity to attend the Girls Prep Academy for the Fire Department, LA County Fire Department offers this for young women who are interested in joining the fire department. Then she also attended the installation of the new president of their Association of Peruvian Cultural Group they had their event in San Pedro, it was another great event to attend.

She is open to hearing any issues and concerns that any residents have as well as any information that she could share with you all to just let you understand all the different things that we offer in the City of Gardena.
5) COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON - Our State of the City was great, Carson's State of the City was great, Hawthorne's State of the City was great, so he has gone to a few States of the City in our 16- city region of South Bay C ouncil of Governments. He made an appeal to Mayor Pro Tem Tanaka as the chair of the COG to see if there's some interest in us doing a State of the Region for everybody to be aware or at least share the slides from what's happening in Inglewood to what Carson is doing. That prompted him to follow up with LA 28 in regards to what some of the smaller cities can do regarding the Olympics and the World Cup, so they gave him some ideas for Mr. City Manager he’s going to synthesize them a little more and give them to our City Manager, and then they can work it through staff because there is opportunity. He attended C offee with a C op.
He attended the Eagle Scout ceremony at Gardena Valley Baptist Church.

He wants to thank again Mayor Pro Tem Tanaka as the chair of the COG they got an opportunity to present as he stated to the Los Angeles Economic Development Commission their 88 City Summit hosted by the City of Torrance. He was humbled and honored to be the presenter for our South Bay fiber network and also to represent the City of Gardena.
