Re: City Council Meeting 9-16-2024; Agenda Item 9; Ordinance to Delegate Increase In Rose Bowl Displacement Events to RBOC.
Mayor Gordo and Councilmembers,
The Linda Vista-Annandale Association (LVAA) OBJECTS TO AND OPPOSES THE WORDING AND SUBSTANCE of the proposed Ordinance submitted for First Reading. The language of the proposed Ordinance is clearly in ERROR.
The recommendation of the RBOC was to delegate the making of required Findings under the Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance for 10 years for Displacement Events numbers 16 through 25. The Council approved this proposal and directed the preparation of an implementing Ordinance.
Instead, the proposed Ordinance on the Agenda for First Reading delegates the required Findings temporarily to the RBOC for Displacement Events 16 to Infinity - completely ignoring the maximum number of 25 under the approved Ordinance amendments to a maximum of 25 Displacement Events.
Please reject this proposed Ordinance Amendment language and substance and send the Amendment back to staff for correction and redrafting.
Further, LVAA objects to the surprise change in measuring the number of "annual" Displacement Events from calendar years to RBOC Fiscal Years. This proposal, which apparently applies to all Displacement Events although this is not clear, has received no prior public review, is inconsistent with the substance and intent of the Arroyo Seco Public Lands Ordinance, and appears obviously intended to confuse the public as to just how many Displacement Events will take place each "year." The impacted public generally has no idea what Fiscal Year applies to the RBOC and keeps track as to how much must be endured from Displacement Event after Displacement Event on a calendar year basis beginning with January 1st. Please leave the calendar year measure of '"yearly" Displacement Events in place.
Thank you for your attention to our concerns.
Sincerely,
Nina Chomsky,
LVAA President
