Councilmember Jovan Hilton asked staff and the city attorney to \"look into Senate Bill 777\" and to offer the city's commentary on the measure. He described the bill as one that \"essentially puts municipalities on the hook for private cemeteries,\" and urged staff to treat the inquiry with urgency.

Councilmember Jim Dear said he wanted clarification about the bill's likely fiscal impact and whether it would force cities or counties to assume maintenance obligations. During the discussion a speaker in the meeting read the bill language as it was available to them at the time: the text presented at the meeting would require a county to identify a local agency to become responsible for care and maintenance of abandoned cemeteries and to form a local agency formation process for that purpose. Councilmembers expressed concern about leaving local governments responsible for what they termed \"a money-losing proposition.\"

Members suggested not waiting for the next full council meeting. The city attorney and staff indicated they would review the bill text and prepare comment; Councilmembers suggested routing a letter of opposition through the consent calendar after staff and counsel provide recommended language.

No final council vote on a formal opposition was taken at the meeting; the direction to staff was to research the bill promptly and return with recommended next steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Carson CA.

Captain Norman of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Carson Station, told the council the station launched its summer crime-enforcement program in early May and has made both felony and misdemeanor arrests. \"Our team has been actively conducting operations, making arrests, both felony and misdemeanor throughout the city and county,\" Norman said. He told the council the department impounded about 30 vehicles and reported more than 300 citations issued during April. Norman said the station is \"trending down\" for Part I crimes, reporting a 1.8% decrease for the month ending April 30.

Assistant Chief Cain of the Los Angeles County Fire Department provided April statistics: \"We had 883 totals calls for service during this month. We had 27 fires, all of which were minor in nature,\" Cain said. He said 17 of those fires were rubbish or brush fires and that 14 of the rubbish/brush incidents were related to people experiencing homelessness. Fire personnel responded to 647 EMS calls in April, 362 of which were advanced life-support (ALS) incidents. Cain said the department handled a gas leak inside a structure and an electrical short circuit at a commercial building; both incidents were mitigated with no injuries.

During public comment, resident Nancy Cormier told the council she has observed repeated drifting and street-racing activity at the intersection of Dominguez Street and Santa Fe Avenue, often late at night. \"They're seriously drifting,\" Cormier said, adding the activity poses a hazard to nearby properties and pedestrians.

Councilmembers and the captain said they would coordinate a task-force response drawing on the city's street-racing ordinance. \"We have an ordinance against street racing,\" Councilmember Jim Dear said; Captain Norman acknowledged the report and told the resident officers would address the location. Councilmembers recommended targeted enforcement and repeated patrols in the affected area.

Cormier also raised ongoing concerns about palm fronds and tree stumps on city-owned parkway strips. She said falling palm fronds have contacted power lines during wind events, at times resulting in fire and service outages. Public works staff and Director of Public Works Dr. Arlington Rogers were in the chamber; Rogers told Cormier staff would follow up to inspect and address the trees in question.

The council also recognized the department's mental health evaluation team during a proclamation for Mental Health Awareness Month. Captain Norman described a mental evaluation team that \"responds out, to assist our deputies that are dealing with residents that are in crisis.\"","Los Angeles County Sheriff's Carson Station and L.A.

The council added the urgency item to the consent calendar after staff said the resolution needed to be adopted so the city could start advertising the reward program. The item was added as \"28a\" on the consent calendar and a staff report was made available at the city clerk's office, the council was told.

Council members then moved to approve the consent calendar as amended. The clerk recorded a 4-0 vote in favor (Councilwoman Arlene Rojas was noted absent). Later in the meeting the council approved minutes and unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 25 25 11 (second reading and adoption by title only) regarding formal adoption of the city seal and expansion of regulations concerning use of the city seal to apply to the city logo.

The council also confirmed two appointments to fill vacancies on the environmental commission: Joseph Hunt to a vacant seat and Britney Ford moved from alternate to a vacant full position. The council recorded those appointments as unanimous.

Mayor Lula Davis Holmes and council members did not report any reportable action from earlier closed sessions; the city attorney said closed-session matters yielded no reportable action.
