Public hearing PH1: The council held a public hearing and staff recommended annexing Desert Meadows Apartments and townhomes (about 420 residential units at 30th West and Lake Hauser Boulevard) into Community Facilities District No. 2021-1. Staff estimated the annexed properties would bring approximately $166,000 in annual revenue once occupied. Council adopted Resolution Nos. 25-3 and 25-4 to annex the territory into the CFD, authorize the levy of special taxes and direct posting of amended notice of special tax lien; the council vote was recorded with Council Member Mann recorded as abstaining.

Consent calendar: The council moved the consent calendar, pulling item CC11 for separate consideration. Council Member Molly stated a conflict of interest related to nearby property ownership and recused herself from CC11; the council used a previously conducted \"rule of necessity\" drawing to identify which members recuse for that matter. After a motion to approve CC11, the item passed with three yes votes and with Mayor Parris and Council Member Mann recusing themselves.

Other items: Council approved multiple non-controversial items (listed as NB1, NB2 and NB3 in the agenda) by unanimous vote after waiving staff reports. The council adopted Resolution No. 25-5 and unanimously approved the introduction of Ordinance No. 1125.

Ending: No further public hearings were required on these items at the meeting. Several votes were unanimous; where members abstained or recused, the minutes note those recusals and abstentions during roll call and vote announcements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lancaster Meeting of January 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Lancaster City Council voted on a public-hearing annexation into a community facilities district, several resolutions and the introduction of an ordinance.

\"If you're operating illegally we will take your stuff and truck it away,\" the mayor said, adding that the city will help local vendors obtain permits and called on Deputy Mayor Rocio and staff to work with vendors seeking lawful operations.

Several vendors and residents spoke during the public-comment period. Gabriela Lopez, a resident and street vendor, said she and other vendors \"feel intimidated with the police\" and asked for help to get permitted so they can continue to work. Joaquin Garcia, also a street vendor, said vendors have been assaulted and asked the city for assistance obtaining permits and safe places to operate.

Mayor Parris said the city would assist local vendors with permitting and with insurance requirements, and clarified the city's enforcement distinction between local vendors and operators \"that prey on people by setting them up on the roadside and taking the money they make.\" He also said the city would explore microloan options for vendors to buy insurance; in remarks during the meeting he corrected himself to say he meant \"loan,\" not \"grant.\"

On disaster response and infrastructure, the mayor said Lancaster will fast-track permits for people rebuilding after recent wildfires, aiming to process permits within 30 days rather than the months-long delays he criticized. He also said the city is preparing a 140,000-square-foot event and resiliency center expected to open in about a year and announced a March 2 ribbon-cutting for a new stadium field.

The mayor discussed enforcement against homeless encampments, saying the city will be more aggressive in moving encampments and that the city provides nearby homeless facilities. He also described planned investments in surveillance technology and artificial-intelligence tools to accelerate resident responses.

Ending: The council did not adopt new ordinances at the meeting but directed staff to continue outreach to food vendors, work on permitting assistance and pursue faster permitting processes for disaster-related rebuilding.","Mayor delivered a lengthy statement emphasizing enforcement against violent offenders and unpermitted food vendors, said the city will fast-track disaster-related permits, described plans to use technology for enforcement and noted available local assistance for permitted vendors.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669342,"Boulevard Association outlines safety and small-business supports, launches new marketing programs",347,303000,650000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2174095-7e9783b0e4eb59c6e29e7343251d4772&start=303&end=650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2174095-7e9783b0e4eb59c6e29e7343251d4772/thumbnail_303000.jpg","/articles/6669342/Lancaster-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Boulevard-Association-outlines-safety-and-small-business-supports-launches-new-marketing-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669342-1ca97c2d509546044359c28a07615531/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206157&Signature=n8LjitrZcFrvEDWxD4cx~UZGmXj6LrA5fKmG-HwZPDTPVb6sBG5YIpIL-ypbk-HDc5jVi7S4QWhpT~WldfSz4yt4-RCN3QdwqKZ6BSRuyBaMgSqD0mc6GlB-~YOdLb6-uoVaWWntImcr1E6DWnsLerJQvSOgiPX4NLpGFk6GmmDL7x2cBreUuGcRFj2WCW5BV6kUU61NErdkiGIYgle38TVrYMk5yxn850yoLqyKPKOiyaIYx03uRUz84RiSfDt-QPvav-d3pi0c8FvGTIK6DXnYbbcBtEiVmwfErSDHh~Civ5wpL~yx~PQE480D9Rf72zFHbbXxmoTqyOwaho3kWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nicole Jones, senior analyst for the Community Development Department and city liaison to the Boulevard Association, told the Lancaster City Council the group would present its 2024 accomplishments, 2025 goals and board changes and that Michael Flores will replace Jones as city liaison.

Art Minassian, president of the Boulevard Association, said the group's 2024 work emphasized safety, outreach and cleanliness and included increased ambassador presence, regular attendance by the sheriff's and Lancaster Police Department representatives at association meetings and a monthly business-watch program coordinated with the police department. \"Every single month we've been doing this, we see our numbers, crowds go higher and higher and higher,\" Minassian said of events that follow the business-watch meetings.

The association told council it will publicize a new City of Lancaster vandalism and repair program that provides businesses money for damage repairs; Minassian characterized the grant amount in his remarks as \"$25,100 for City of Lancaster.\" He also said the association budgeted $12,000 annually to award business microgrants of up to $1,000 for Boulevard events, and described a paid \"Boulevard Passport\" promotional program that the association estimates could generate roughly $25,000 in annual revenue for the corridor.

Council members asked about safety on the Boulevard. Minassian said collaboration between ambassadors, deputies and police has reduced incidents but that business owners remain concerned about alley safety and late-night shifts. \"We need . . . vehicle presence on the Boulevard. We need patrolling on the boulevard. We need ambassadors. We need security on the boulevard,\" Minassian said. He added that security should avoid an overtly armed appearance so families feel comfortable.

Minassian said the association will continue marketing efforts and partner with local businesses to promote events and that a welcome mixer was scheduled the evening of the meeting.

The presentation also included the new board roster and a request to feature boulevard businesses in the city's Outlook magazine; city staff confirmed they can add that feature.

Ending: Council received the update; no formal vote was required. Staff and association representatives said they would continue monthly business-watch meetings and publicize the vandalism-and-repair program and the Boulevard Passport to local businesses.","The Boulevard Association presented a 2024 accomplishments report and 2025 goals to the Lancaster City Council, describing new safety partnerships, a vandalism repair grant, event microgrants and a paid \"Boulevard Passport\" marketing program.","actionData","errors"]
