The Week That Was and That Will Be - February 5
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Uncover the secrets of Burbank's resilience to nature's caprice as we recount a storm that showed mercy on our city, sparing us the havoc seen elsewhere in LA County. We also peel back the layers of mystery surrounding Air Force One's recent departure, it leaves us pondering the President's covert itinerary during a weekend of Grammys and glittering fundraisers. Tune in as we weave the tale of Burbank's unique weather patterns and the clandestine dance of presidential movements.
Join us at the heart of community conversation, where the simple art of salad making becomes an act of local celebration. We'll then escort you through city hall's corridors, shining a spotlight on Jeff Worthe's development dreams and the single-use plastic ordinance that's stirring the pot among establishments from the beloved Porto's Bakery to retail giants. As the Zanta club's influence unfurls and city council meetings stretch into the night, we echo the collective call for a city that moves with purpose and haste, leaving no stone unturned and no salad un-tossed.
Our journey concludes with a flourish of community updates – from the digital leaps of Burbank's 311 app to the city's power dynamics and the PD's proud addition, Alejandro Sandoval. Mark your calendars for the grand unveiling of the Dick Clark Dog Park, a tribute to a local legend and a future haven for our four-legged friends. As the city buzzes with committee meetings and cultural engagements, we bid you a temporary farewell, already eager to return with more stories that pulse with the heartbeat of Burbank.
Discussion on Weather and Presidential Activities
Speaker 1From deep in the Burbank Media District. It's time for another edition of my Burbank Talks, presented by the staff of my Burbank. Now let's see what's on today's agenda as we join our program.
Speaker 2Hello Burbank, craig Sherwood here with you once again, along with in the studio, craig Durling.
Speaker 1Hey everybody, Good to be back.
Speaker 2And today on Remote, it's Ross Benson From his mansion.
Speaker 3Hello, roger Roger Are you that are listening.
Speaker 2Are you in your Florida kingpin mansion today?
Speaker 3I don't know, but I just noticed that the cleaning lady didn't get to the top step.
Speaker 1Either did you. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3I didn't get too far out of the driveway.
Speaker 2Well, it looks like so far we've all survived the storm of 2024. At this point, stormwatch 2024. Burbank, in all honesty, did not get hit very hard. We got around, I'd say, four and a half inches here compared to, I know, woodland Hills got over 10 inches. So somehow it just had those cells just happen to go a little bit north of us, so we didn't get hit as hard as it could have been.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was looking at the maps earlier today and midday. Downtown LA had like six and a half inches, malibu had like seven and a half inches, burbank had about two. Yeah, so it's all over the board.
Speaker 3Yeah, but see you guys are on the flatlands. You're literally way out there.
Speaker 1Media, district adjacent.
Speaker 3Yeah right, Living up here on the hill.
Speaker 2Well, that's right down the hill now.
Speaker 3yes, it rains a lot more up here You're on Snob Hill.
Speaker 2now is that where you're at?
Speaker 1Well, ross is just, he's just over the hill, just over the hill.
Speaker 3But let me share with you. You know I cover the desk all night and last night I was in the middle of the river so I went to the bank and I didn't have anything. Nothing landed at Burbank from about 1230 till six this morning when the heavy UPS plane wanted to come in. They couldn't land their first time. They had to go back to Southern California control and ask can we try it again? We had to do the same thing before we attempted again and I watched him land real slowly. He came in and he was the only plane that landed. Burbank canceled 63 flights yesterday.
Speaker 3Oh the weather.
Speaker 1Wow, and LAX was on reverse ops yesterday too, which was kind of fun to watch Air Force One taken off. It was a different view.
Speaker 2I went to live stream of LAX and watched it land and take off. And kind of interesting. I found what's interesting when it took off, actually landed too. The very bottom of the plane has a very silver metallic feature to it.
Speaker 1It's got that color on it. Yeah, that's like a thing.
Speaker 2What does that have to do with radar bouncing or something? Or somehow it can't get tracked, or something, I'm sure it's all kinds of stuff with magic, stuff with that. Everything on that plane is there for a reason.
Speaker 1Right, yeah, well, and they're still building the two new ones that President Trump designed.
Speaker 2One thing I didn't I thought and I guess I'm wrong about, is that I thought Air Force One had a fighter escort, but nothing. And I also looked on the flight tracking.
Speaker 1They can scramble and get to it quick enough.
Speaker 2I couldn't find Air Force One on the flight tracker either. It was not a Weird, it's a ghost on there.
Speaker 1Well, it is a military aircraft, so I don't know if that would be the reason.
Speaker 3Well, last week, with the Ospreys being down, they're flying the Shikorsky.
Speaker 2They had three of those yeah.
Speaker 3They had five.
Speaker 1From the Marines.
Speaker 3Yeah, from the Marines, and everybody sees them flying over Burbank and say, oh, in fact I put a tweet out the POTUS isn't in any of those. That is his entourage, or meaning his press corps, his office staff, his secret service. That's what goes between Burbank and Santa Monica, but a friend of mine sent me a picture on the runway of six of them lined up and one of them parked in front, and it just Well.
Speaker 1I have pictures from a year or two ago. We're staying at the end of 15, with HMX taken off right over our heads. It was cool.
Speaker 2Two of the Were they sea stallions and then three of the Well, I also saw there's only two of the Marine ones Usually have three.
Speaker 1Well, the standard is two plus three support.
Speaker 2So whether it's the Ospreys, that's when you look at the LAX. They had three of the military choppers and they had two of the Marine ones, and I thought they had three, because the reason they have more than one is it could be mission specific depending on where they're going. I didn't know where he was in town for it. I never checked there.
Speaker 1Well, he was in. I know he was in Vegas today for a fundraiser in and out, so I'm sure he was here for a fundraiser. That's not the only reason they come here.
Speaker 2They come to California for the money for the campaigns and they come Straight to Beverly Hills. And they spent in other states.
Speaker 3He came here Saturday to speak because, the Grammys being yesterday, he wanted to speak to the black group that has, you know, quite a bit involved in the Grammys, to talk to them about pushing out the go out and vote through the music world, and that was his main point.
Speaker 2He was not at the Grammys as I know my son was there In all honesty, but then he flew off to Las Vegas. In all honesty, he should have made an appearance at the Grammys, because I'm sure that would really help him with that entire demographic.
Speaker 1But to be honest, if you've seen him lately, they got to control his environment, they got to keep. They can't have him add living or in a crowd. They really have to control where they put him. Now it's sad but he's not doing the classic, traditional presidential Super Bowl interview.
Speaker 2Oh, he's not.
Speaker 1I heard that today. Wow, and I mean talk about getting an audience but, Isn't he doing something? They might be doing something pre-taped or him saying something, but I heard today that he's not doing that Maybe a tour around the White House, or something, a traditional interview, so they'll probably pre-taped something.
Speaker 2Maybe a tour around the White House or something.
Speaker 3Well, they should do that doggie bowl in the Oval Office. You know where the little dogs? Yeah, the puppy bowl.
Speaker 1Yeah, the puppy bowl. It's adorable Animal Planet. At the same time, the Super Bowl is on, animal Planet has the puppy bowl.
Speaker 3Right, well, they should do it in the Library of Congress, or you know that big conference room which I have pictures of some performers standing on that desk. Can we please keep?
Speaker 1some decorum in Washington DC. Okay, I'm sorry, Some dignity please.
Speaker 2Should we move on a little bit here?
Speaker 1How about we start? There's nothing, there's no moving on. We haven't started.
Speaker 2Let's start with last week's winner. Last week's winner of a, last week's winner of a Hill Street Cafe gift card. Where did the week winner go? $25. It went to. Are you ready?
Speaker 1Ta-da-da, oh yeah.
Speaker 3Craig, continue to do that, because I can't hear that part.
Speaker 1Okay, I'll be your eyes, okay, your ears, steve Austin.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's right, steve.
Speaker 1Austin.
Speaker 2Steve Austin. I wanted to say relation to the wrestler.
Speaker 1The wrestler or the bionic guy. There's another Steve Austin.
Speaker 2You would think it was A common name.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2I'd heard of the city before and Steve's a fairly Can you imagine being named Steve Austin and going through life with that name and people looking at you like although you try to get reservations at a restaurant.
Speaker 1Right Now we're talking. Well, now he's going to Hill Street.
Speaker 2Yes, he is.
Speaker 1No reservations needed.
Speaker 2Well, steve, send us your address to winners at MyBurbankcom and we will send that $25 gift card to Hill Street Cafe out to you forthwith.
Speaker 1Excellent Homemade salad, dressing and soup, and all that. There's a good weather for it too. Good weather, don't?
Speaker 3forget to share that, Steve. Don't forget to share that on your social media. I know your fan group would love to see that.
Speaker 1And tell them who sent you. Well, that's it Now, the wet butt. The second of that is now. Everybody out there has to listen up for the rest of the show to hear this week's word of the week Because there will be a new word of the same chance.
Speaker 2Somewhere, somewhere in our show.
Speaker 1Somewhere in our show. Listen for the word of the week and we'll give you further instructions at that time.
Speaker 2Well, let's go back to last week, because it was the week that was. It was Twas, indeed. Last Tuesday we had a council meeting. They approved the development agreement for another three years for the property that Jeff Worth owns, that used to one time be a golf course and is now a.
Speaker 3Driving range. That was not a full golf course. Well, golf course it was a driving range.
Speaker 2Where was this? It's just two 2,900 for those of us who don't know, for those of us who don't know, for those of us who don't know, it was just to the north above of Johnny Carson Park.
Speaker 1Okay, is that where? That's where the KCET is there now yeah. Okay, so that's you and when he developed that building.
Speaker 3he owned all that property and he put up that building what we call the park building that's how they identify it and he built the foundation for another building matching that that he was going to do in phase two. Well, he always said that he wouldn't build the second building until he had occupancy like 90% occupancy in the park building. And then Warner Brothers decided to do their iceberg buildings, their 21st century buildings.
Speaker 1The ones along the 134.
Speaker 3Right. So the designer of that building, he'd had them redesign another building that'll go next to the park building and that's what they extended the development agreement for.
Speaker 2Well, I thought it was very. It was very nice that Jeff Worth himself came and addressed the council about it. You know, usually these developers always send their you know first head flunky or something you know and don't want to be wasted with it, you know and but he showed up himself to answer questions and sounds like it looked like a very down to earth person and concerned about the community. So he also said that they you know they'd been remodeling the former Daltz restaurant that used to be in the bottom of the building and olive and Riverside. Then it became great malts there.
Speaker 2Oh great malts. I'm sorry to see Daltz go, anyhow they're. They've been remodeling that and he says in the steakhouse commune called the Capitol Grill, which is a, will be a nice steak restaurant, although we do have Morton's and we deal with a smoke house.
Speaker 1But we got plenty.
Speaker 2I missed all.
Speaker 3everybody enjoys the steak, so the reason he does that is. He also said you have to do amenities now for these new buildings going in to keep the employees there for lunch, so if you wanted to go to that, I want to help me.
Speaker 2Employees can afford a nice steakhouse.
Speaker 1Was kiss FM still in that building? Yes FM and some other stations used to be in that building.
Speaker 2I think a lot of them moved over to the building at Naomi and olive. I know that's where the sports sports is now. Oh, seven, 10.
Speaker 3Dirling, and Craig Dirling is thinking of the building across from Whole Foods. I don't think you pass Whole Foods that much, no.
Speaker 1I guess the thing used to be in the in the Daltz building is to see it on the, and yeah right.
Speaker 3And now in Craig, when you say you don't think some of those people can afford it, we're talking DJs, we're talking producers. That was his intent and putting those buildings there.
Speaker 1It's a high red building.
Speaker 2Do you know how much they pay radio people? Lately, though, they're kind of like journalists and newspapers, really hanging on.
Speaker 1Right, we're getting into a rat hole. Um any sound effect for a rattle.
Speaker 2Yes, I do One size fits all for them. They also the single use plastic ordinance. They made some changes to it. We're going to have a list of all the changes and what the ordinance basically says. I asked them to city people and they said you know, so much went on. We're still trying to figure it out right now and get exactly what they wanted. So when the ordinance comes back for the second reading and to get passed, they'll have a better handle on everything. So the next council we will talk more about that ordinance and about what they, what they did pass. I think they took out the 31 seat restaurant thing and they're going to make it all restaurants and oh geez, there's a lot. There's a lot to it. It's getting worse. Yeah.
Speaker 3Well, you guys, I feel sorry, I do. You know Betty Porto called me. We all know Betty Porto from Portos. You know, think about it. They serve 15,000 people a day. Think about it, you know. You change an ordinance like this and make them put in some of this recyclables, when you can go three blocks or two blocks and go to Target or Vons, go in and buy from the deli and they don't have to do this for another couple of years. You know, she told me they ordered their stuff from China, do you think? You think?
Speaker 2ship after the order. I've never seen anybody stand line to go into Vons.
Speaker 1Does it also mean that Vons supermarkets Target, walmart can't won't be able to sell plastic forks and spoons and stuff anymore?
Speaker 2No, you know, and that's a good point, that's a good point. They can still sell them, they just can't use them.
Speaker 1So what if a restaurant includes that plastic where in the price and says that they're selling it with the meal?
Speaker 2I loophole, loophole. I should be a lot of loopholes, loophole.
Speaker 3Yeah, and some of these small shops. And what about catering trucks that roll into town? They got to qualify, they have to meet the same. They're making these Well, I'm sure you definitely know by who was reporting at council. She's never worked at a restaurant.
Speaker 2I think what she has is ideals for the future and we've got to start somewhere and not realizing you know they say the big picture, you know and what it's like to really be in business, and I understand that too.
Speaker 1Then start, start chipping away at it. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Speaker 2Some of the stuff is going to become state laws.
Speaker 1Baby steps.
Speaker 2Some of the stuff is going to be state laws.
Speaker 1They say within a year or two anyway, because the state is as bad as the local governments and the federal government is. They make all these mandates and the infrastructure and the users aren't ready for it, so they just force feeding all this stuff and nobody's ready for it.
Speaker 2Maybe a good example that I remember years ago they passed the recycling thing where all restaurants had to are, all stores had to take back a five cent deposit or 10 cent deposit and everything, and then all stores must then take back the cans and bottles and then suddenly less and less and less and less, and now I think there's only one or two places in Burbank that actually you know, except before the rule was if you sold it you had to take the returns also. Somehow they got that loophole. Stop having to take the returns.
Speaker 1Somebody's always going to figure out a way around a regulation or something.
Speaker 2Are the proposition 65 that says you must have a warning if there's any kind of cancerous things, and then they stick the sign somewhere around a corner or something and somewhere where you can't really see it.
Speaker 1If you notice, if anybody uses eBay out there as sells anything on eBay, that's a box. To check is if you're going to need to include the Prop 65 warning in your auction yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, I sell on eBay. I never knew that was on there, it's in there. Oh, there you go, they also don't worry.
Speaker 3Craig, they won't come look for you because they know your media district adjacent and they have no clue where the adjacent is.
Speaker 2I'm sure most of them are the media.
Speaker 1Probably a good thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, Human trafficking ordinance passed Good. And you know, Ross, you know why don't you talk about not to take the lead on that?
Speaker 3Well, the city attorney is the one that made the presentation at council and they've done their homework on it. This is long overdue. People don't realize just what. Two weeks ago there was a sting operation and they picked up over 5000 violators through the state and they need help. You know you're not going to see a city attorney going out to businesses. So Zanta, who has been pushing the ordinance for a while they had a. You remember an event last week. They did a walk a couple weeks ago that we covered. They have offered to be the the boots on the ground.
Speaker 2And I applaud Zanta. We just started an event and we just had a story come out today on the on the ordinance of the past.
Inefficient City Council Meetings
Speaker 3So nice job by Gloria Solis has been very vocal on that and she she has offered the city. We have plenty of people to help get the word out, and that means passing out posters and signage and so forth.
Speaker 2Ross, you have any information on what the Zanta club is?
Speaker 1This for some context.
Speaker 3Yeah, zanta has been around for many, many years. It's a fellowship of women and now others, that many things involving women. To what's the word I'm looking for, like women in power, you know army in power in power.
Speaker 3Yep, you have quite a few newer. I know some of the nonprofits In fact I think all the nonprofits are partisan and some new, new companies in town that are run by women, so it's and some of their causes are are very, you know, worthwhile and they have a lot of support. Like I said, I know our local Gloria Solis has has the aid of many people when she puts out a phone call for something and Well now, what's one of my big gripes with the city council that I have all the time too many meetings on one night, none on another.
Speaker 2Yes, and I miss the city a lot of the meetings that go way too late. I get it.
Speaker 1Yes, and going too late.
Speaker 2So here's what they did once again, too many things on the agenda. It's around 1130 night, they hadn't gotten to trafficking yet and they decided that they would pull the landlord, tenant stuff off the agenda. Now there are rules now that you can't if you want to speak about dining you can't speak during Oral communications and then to be able to speak again when the item comes up. A lot of people you know are first aid.
Speaker 1That's 1130 when they made this announcement 1130.
Speaker 2They decided that you know.
Speaker 1It's been there for hours late tonight.
Speaker 2So they were there five, six hours waiting, you know, and then they said well, yeah, I talked to two people that were sitting, two people that were sitting in that audience.
Speaker 3That could have left right, and it's just.
Speaker 2Someone consider it and how many people were at home who we wanted to call in or something. I mean, it's just one of those things that that you know why not have extra meetings if you're gonna have that long of a me know those long of a meetings. They said well, you know it went long because of this or that. Well, you had a feeling the plastics ordinance was a big deal and that's gonna take time. Some of the other things take time to I get it. So, instead of two meetings a month, why not have two meetings, maybe sometimes once?
Speaker 1well, three meetings a month and the spoiler alert city council's dark next week.
Speaker 2Yeah, and there's no meeting. There's no meeting now, you know tomorrow, but there is, you know oh yeah, this week I guess yes, they pushed that back and of course landlord tenant commission met today. But now nothing could be said that you know they had a special ad hoc committee about the it's just really a shame.
Speaker 2The mayor actually wanted to. You know, like he said, and he goes look at it, I'm here to do a job, I'm here to stay as long as I need to stay, which I commend, but even so. So if they get to it now, it's gonna be two, three. In the morning I go have an extra meeting.
Speaker 1Do we know why they're? Why they're dark this week?
Speaker 2because it's not scheduled to have a meeting.
Speaker 1They were they working for? Who are they there to?
Speaker 3in January they sit down and talk about their goals and plans. The city manager is the one that makes it scheduled For city council made us to have our goals this year. That's every two years they do that well they, they came up with a calendar for meetings because, if you recall, the city manager show told us that he was gonna say something you know, but again happen.
Speaker 3It's weird how they make presentations and why they're dark or dormant or A sleep, but a lot of people don't realize all those city staffers there's a lot sitting in the audience that people don't see. Besides your department heads, you have city staffers that have to be at a staff meeting at 10 am On Wednesday. No if, ands or buts. After a council meeting they get off at 2 1 2 in the morning. They got to be back Chipper as a that's understandable.
Speaker 1What's what on the agenda is making these meetings run so long? Is that one item? Is it public comments? Is it something that?
Speaker 3they can move. Yeah, every council member needs to give their opinion.
Speaker 1Oh, that's their own fault then.
Speaker 3They need, they want to hear. I love all of our council members but I gotta say sometimes they like to hear themselves talk.
Speaker 2They have a temperature here. Well, I agree what he said or what she said, and I want to also say that here's my version of it. Yeah, it's the same thing and but it's just, I guess, if there are major things coming up and have next meeting especially if you're gonna table something because you don't want to run too late tonight.
Speaker 1Well, guess what then round? We're having a meeting next week.
Speaker 2I know it's probably not that easy to do, but at least table in beginning, then those people's right still be upset that they came for no reason but they would have suffered five hours and then left for no reason. That was just to me that that's unprofessional. It's just not a not a good way to run your.
Speaker 3Craig, did you read the city manager notes on the tenant landlord commission from a couple weeks ago? Two people were there in public to bring something up and one they answered an email. What, like you said that the landlord tenant commission has zero power and their meeting. It just kind of gets me.
Speaker 2I feel sorry for those people that yeah, it's a place to go gripe, but there's no results can come from it. I don't know what the that's a feel-good commission. Yeah.
Speaker 1Make you feel better.
Speaker 2Well, let's move on to Wednesday. Brumwick announced it there. 311 app. Now it has code enforcement and real-time bus Bus times on there too. So so now, if you want to tell on your neighbor, you don't like your neighbor, you and your neighbor does something you don't like. You can, you can uh sprinklers are on, yeah. I do go code, code enforcement and say and tell on your neighbor which I think that's the other reason that's on there is so you can tell on people well, no, no, no, come on, that's not true.
Speaker 3There are a lot of things that people see driving around our community that do not meet the Burbank minutes code, and who goes out and take care of those? They don't want people calling 9-1-1 or the police desk, they want code enforcement All right, but every code enforcement is for is for negative things.
Speaker 2What enforcement does not you contact code for positive things?
Speaker 1I have a question and, ross, I've asked you this before because it's come up but do they have a way to Report illegally parked vehicles on the 311 app yet?
Speaker 3I believe there is but Burbank on 311, burbank's 311 right on the perfect day one. Okay, last time I checked I had some issues on my street, though I found no, no Option to submit an illegally parked vehicle you know, and I think just last week I, when I went to install it, our update it, I saw that Other other city of Importance that you could now Put in who's who's administering that and gonna send it to the right person?
Speaker 1do you know?
Speaker 3I believe that all of those go to public works and then they divvy it up. If it has to go to PD or to the different departments, Okay well.
Speaker 1Honestly, I haven't looked at the app since, so it's been a few months since I Was in there, so I didn't know if this new update included that specifically and I said update also includes a Real-time Burbank limousine service.
Speaker 2I mean Burbank bus service. Is it called the insert? Because you write a brand bus, you're probably the only one on it, so treat it like a limousine.
Speaker 1To carry over from the pandemic. Yes, it is even you have to be one bus apart. Everyone has to be one bus apart.
Speaker 3Yes, I want to know who's keeping talent tonight. Craig's Pist pot.
Speaker 1Well, I'm kind of I'm being I'm so far I'm sounding like the curmudgeon in the group.
Speaker 2But now you got.
Speaker 1You get the two of us alone in a room because you're not here to play referee.
Speaker 2If you want, I can sugarcoat everything. Is that you know what? Hey, what a great job.
Speaker 1Need any more sugar.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can say I can sugarcoat everything and then, yeah, I think we need a question, we have we have opinions.
Speaker 1I'm sure everybody listening has an opinion about all this stuff too, so maybe they agree with us, maybe they disagree with us. Let us know what you think. Shoot us an email.
Speaker 2Just email. Hey, I I will take the criticism.
Speaker 1If you want, we'll read your emails next week in the show Yep.
Speaker 2Thursday, city manager Justin Hess appointed the CFO, the chief financial officer. Joseph, I was moving state Lillio, li L L I oh, I think it's Lillio. Well, that sounds like a right about right now.
Speaker 2And he will be the acting water and power head until a national search firm finds a New candidates. I don't know if he's pretty big spot I don't know if he put his hat in for the permanent job, but he was the CFO. So I mean he doesn't know the utility, knows what he's doing, and At least we have somebody in charge.
Speaker 3We got that email today from About social media. They have a new person handling their social media presence, but that's somebody different Then your PR person.
Speaker 2I got the flavor, the flavor of the month.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's quite a bit of turnover there and Unfortunate, but our power and our lights stay on.
Speaker 2That's true.
Speaker 1That's right.
Speaker 2If we ever can find a map that says what's not working right, that'd be nice.
Speaker 1Did you not give? Well, I could feel I could fill a map with what's not going right here.
Speaker 2Yes, that's true.
Speaker 3You did not get the email that I sent to them After this weekend's power outages.
Speaker 2I all I said it'd be nice if they hadn't mapped.
Speaker 3It worked, and I still their reply was they have their new software that they are working the bugs out of. Yes, and I just looked at LA's. La is amazing. They can take it down to a block. So I don't know what money they paid for in LA, but it'd be nice that Burbank puts it back up.
Speaker 2Well, we will see how that you stay on that does vector control still handle Infestation?
Speaker 1they have a lot of bugs to get out of the system. Yep, yeah I. Um also on Friday Waka Waka on Friday.
Speaker 2I shouldn't say also on Friday, because it's the only thing on Friday. Yes, on Friday it and I got put in the wrong position here, but we're in PD person to two new jailers.
Speaker 1The jailer. What do we?
Speaker 2know a new jailer and a A custody class. Well, you know what, ross, you went to it.
Speaker 1Is it the same person? Is this one person? Yes, it is okay. Just a really long title.
Speaker 2Ross you went to, I'll let you talk all about it.
Speaker 3Well, because of the rain, they changed the location, they expected rain and they moved to the East LA College. In their auditorium, I think, there were 19 different graduates, mostly from the Sheriff's Department, and I believe there were six from outside agencies, including Burbank, who had one student, one class, alejandro Sandoval, and it was nice to when they were making presentations. He was the it served fire military and he also was given one of the things that they end out, or Class points Physical agility and all those things he placed in one of those. So, and I was, though we have a couple more jailers, I believe three, going in the Academy for the class. This class is only, I think, nine weeks, not like the Right, the officers.
Speaker 1So if you find yourself in the Burbank poke anytime soon, say hi to Alejandro.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly, welcome on the board on the weekend we had actually had a dig event at Jrossen Center. What went off on Saturday morning and, believe it or not, why Burbank Center? Reporter out there and we will have a story getting there this week on the dig program and the volunteers are you know what? I saw the pictures, number of people out there Really digging. Oh yeah, I mean. So they dug, they dug. They're about their hose with them.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, sorry, I started laughing before my my adult brain caught up with you. There we go.
Speaker 3Well, they've cut so many groundskeepers. They need some. You know citizens like to volunteer. They really are committed to the city. And I'll tell you, going to Purdue go Park Aquatic Center every week, there's a lot of greenery that, just you know, gets watered, keeps growing and growing. So I understand the dig program. Hell, I don't do weeds in my own and, of course, dig stands for absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2It just for some reason they want to capitalize actual act of scooping. I don't. I do is just not capitalized the ING and everybody was fine with it.
Speaker 1That's what has thrown me Since the beginning, trying to figure out what the letters start for.
Speaker 2But I did ask the city and I said no, it doesn't stand for anything if we're it's just digging, just the active Scooping things out of something else.
Speaker 1That's it.
Speaker 2Other than that, a quiet weekend we had all right, yeah, so let's take a quick break for our word from, Hopefully, one of our sponsors one these days.

Speaker 2What can I tell you? Just trying to take my gig, that guy on Monday, gun Monday, the fifth Monday, the fifth today being today of course. Yeah, I used to write today on here now.
Speaker 2I today February 5th it is all day and a half at tonight Now, after last week of very little meetings, now we have this week a ton of meetings. So today we had the perfect arts, urban Culture, arts Commission, the beautification subcommittee that met at 10 am the service building and they were gonna talk about phase 8 of the utility box beautification program and how to recognize the artists and sponsors of phase 7? I think my burbank was in phase 4. Is that correct, ross?
Speaker 2I think about then and we have our our box that we sponsored over at Magnolia and Hollywood way.
Speaker 1I like that program. I like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1It's yeah because this box is when it's gray or they're painting art on the trying to beautify the utility boxes at intersections are gray, like puke, green or something, and just I look like I dig it.
Speaker 3I dig it. Years ago, mr Dirling, before, I think, you Relocated to the fine city of Burbank, they used to have a contest to paint fire hydrants and they found after several years it's easy to Lose them when they're painted the same color as a background if you don't know what they look like.
Speaker 2I heard a lot of dogs complained to they couldn't find that fire hydra anymore, so Anyhow there's a rim shot somewhere there.
Speaker 4Well, of course there is.
Speaker 2Arts and public places meeting has been canceled, so I guess the we're not talking about anything with the air too much art in one night.
Speaker 1Is that what's going on? I?
Speaker 2guess so. And landlord tenant commission met at 615, the community services building or who knows what, and really to tell yeah, probably just to console people.
Speaker 1It's a time of recording that we had not heard about what they they talked about no, really, because I don't record the meetings. Oh, we're not okay. And and we're recording this show on the night of that meeting. Yes, we are.
Speaker 2Tomorrow night, what's again. The Burbank arts, burbank culture arts commission, or arts, once again gets together, this time the community engagement subcommittee, and they will meet at 10 am with the community services building and this is the standing morning They'll discuss ideas and planning for the subcommittee. So they're really just discuss plans for how they communicate and how they engage the community. The Burbank audit committee and I'm not there's a committee that is probably a- lot of committees.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's also probably a committee, that, if you were really gonna audit the city, yeah, or audit committees? You want to get a little extra sleep going there and listen. That mean for a while. Yes, it is now they're meeting at 11 am, the community services building.
Speaker 3Others. There's big conference rooms and little ones I didn't know the public could sit on, and on that one I've never, I've never heard anybody say oh, meet me at the.
Speaker 2I don't think they also meet every month either.
Speaker 1I mean they meet every all the cool kids are doing it.
Speaker 2I think they meet every three or four months too, so they don't really every month.
Speaker 1Personally, I've never.
Speaker 2Of course the city council, because there's nothing to talk about went dark on Tuesday, so there is no meeting because.
Speaker 1So, in theory, they've been dark. They've known they were gonna be dark since the beginning of the year, right since they planned all these, the scheduled, all the by the way, as the mayor told us, he's able to call special meetings, so he could have said looks that a genesis.
Speaker 2You know what we can't get to all this tonight? We're gonna take the last two items and move them and we'll come back next.
Speaker 1Yeah, I that's. I like that idea oh.
Speaker 3I.
Speaker 1Support that.
Speaker 2So we'll be on later, actually the same time, because thank goodness there's no council meeting. So if you wanted to go to the council meeting and the athletic federation who admit the same time on Tuesday, Head over to the community services building.
Speaker 1Now it's just the community services building. You could spend the day at the community services building. Yep, now it's just just the um.
Speaker 2We're making a federation there. The ones who are going to meet, they're going to be. We have a report on the youth, sports and gender athletic policy. They're going to talk a little about the um, what else they have here.
Speaker 1Adaptive sports.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're having an adaptive sports expo in McCambridge Park in about a week or two. It's going to be a big thing where they, you know, with all kinds of different sports and it's going to be a neat event. So I think we're going to try to cover it and great.
Speaker 1So a couple good, uh good topics they're going to be they're going to be covering Could be of interest to the listeners at 6pm. On what? What day? Tuesday Tomorrow.
Speaker 3Well, you know that you're listening to this.
Speaker 1Tonight is tomorrow.
Speaker 3Adaptive sports. I covered the one, basketball, uh, when they introduced that one, and I'll tell you, there is a lot of people that are glued to you know, live their life in a wheelchair and they're competitive as hell, and I watch these guys play basketball.
Speaker 1So that's what this is. These are sports involving uh uh, disabled folks or people with limitations and all that. Yeah, excellent, that's good, good.
Speaker 2We've been. On a Wednesday, the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission is going to meet once again, this time of subcommittee. The marketing subcommittee will meet at 10am at the community services building. They will discuss marketing plan for upcoming city and arts related events. So I'm not sure what the you know, but so far that's the third meeting this week for the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission. Instead of instead of doing everything on one day and going six or seven hours.
Speaker 1These are subcommittee so in theory these are different panels of people.
Speaker 2Yes, they are getting together Right.
Speaker 1Uh handling the business of the civil service board is going to be at 430.
Speaker 2We're going to talk about recruitment and appointments, and also on Wednesday, because we just have a lot of meetings on Wednesday coming up.
Speaker 1That was at City Hall. By the way, the civil service that was at City Hall 430.
Speaker 3That one is a recorded meeting. That's a Brown Act meeting and, yes, it is recorded as required.
Speaker 1Is that a public? Is that open to the public?
Speaker 3Yeah, most of it is. But if you look at their agenda, not well this one.
Speaker 2I didn't say close session Pretty interesting. I didn't think close. I didn't think close session on this agenda.
Speaker 3No, not on the civil service board.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, they. You know they talk about recruitment and appointments. That could be an interesting to list Is that is that streamed?
Speaker 1Do we know?
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1No, we don't know. Sit in on the meeting.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know if they're. You know, I'm actually I'm not sure what they do with that All righty.
Speaker 2Also they stumped the band also, on Wednesday, domestic Violence Task Force meets at 530 in the community services building. We're going to talk about financial, financial literacy course for domestic violence survivors. So basically talking about the violence task force goals and objectives and talk about frequency of meetings. So once again, that's another good wish. I'm not sure how they help people. This one's talking about financial literacy which helps people who've had domestic problems probably get their finances back together and how they and I think one of the biggest things, especially, you know, for a wife who has to move out is maybe just a housewife and not an income earner how is she going to survive? Right, and that's a big one.
Speaker 1It could be one, or the other half of a couple may have one. May have done the finances for the last 20 years.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So and everything and everything's in their name, or something like that.
Speaker 3Now that committee I have been told it has quite a few department staffers that attend it. I know the PIO's office police department as a representative there.
Speaker 1No, PIO, the police department has a place that you just said department, so I was trying to know which one.
Speaker 3Yeah, I was going to PIO. The police department, the fire department, parks direct, they all have representatives and then some of the things that the department domestic violence has has created on the back of all the city. Business cards for your council members have hotlines, so if they hand out a card to somebody that you know domestic violence, if you need to make a call, that number is on that card. That's one of the things they do and also give out leads where you can get out.
Speaker 1Great resource, great resource.
Speaker 2Well, because they, I guess, filled up all the rooms everywhere else and have nowhere else because there's so many meetings the same day. The youth board is going to meet at 6pm at the Jocelyn Center.
Speaker 1This is still Wednesday the 7th.
Speaker 2Wednesday. So now I can't why you'd have the youth board meeting at the senior citizens home, but that's well, if you read, not home. Well, it's just the center. There you go. I'm sure that they're not a lot in common.
Speaker 3Which we're putting both of you after, you know, people play pool, socialize, get their lunch fed, served and so forth at Jocelyn. The Jocelyn is a great center with a lot of meeting rooms, so no reason on not spreading it and taking them down there. And it's also they might want to get the youth and some of our seniors, you know, talking.
Speaker 1Not a bad idea.
Speaker 2Yeah, but no, there's no senior things on their agenda. I kind of looked at that, so there's really not. Their agenda is very, very vanilla, as it is just more or less Everybody talk about their own school.
Speaker 1And then there was Thursday.
Speaker 2Thursday happened or will happen is about to happen. Well, thursday is the big one for, once again, the Burbank Culture Arts Commission. They're going to have the whole commission meet this time at 9am.
Speaker 1Community Services Building altogether and there's all the subcommittees.
Speaker 2All subcommittees will are going to give a report on what they subcommitted and is that a verb? It is now.
Speaker 1If it would ever floats your boat right. Everybody knows what you meant.
Speaker 2Art program update. From the new terminal and Johnny Carson Park we're going to get an arts grant program update. We're going to talk about the recently held downtown arts festival and of course I said the subcommittee reports, so they have a general yes, sir.
Speaker 3That downtown arts festival, same group coming back in June and July.
Speaker 1That the jackalope.
Speaker 2Yeah, they come every time. They come twice a year, every year.
Speaker 3Mr Durling covered it for my burbank.
Speaker 1I did indeed.
Speaker 3Photo gallery for us and enjoyed the time he was on the Boulevard.
Speaker 2Well, that brings us later Good event up there later Thursday, in case you want to get some lunch and come back for. Another meeting is a park and recreation board will meet at 6pm at City Hall and we're going to talk about a couple of things. Number one is the roller hockey. Is that what I just heard? Did I hear, just hear that roller? No hockey.
Speaker 1Hockey, hockey. What could that mean, that horn?
Speaker 2Do I mean one thing, that's the key is the word of the week for the no Street Cafe $25 gift card a good one to have. Yes, a good one to have.
Speaker 1Good one to have.
Speaker 2So once again, send that email to contest at my burbankcom. Put in the subject line hockey and we'll have you in the contest.
Speaker 3I only get parts of it, but I can you know what?
Speaker 1you know it's playing. You know it's playing.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 1Excellent, so hockey, so put hockey in the in the subject line.
Speaker 2What is hockey? I believe it's hockey. Oh hockey.
Speaker 1Anyhow, there you go. There's the word of the week. If you're stuck around this long, good for you, congratulations and thank you for being here.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Now if we can maybe reward you with a $20, $25 gift card to Hill Street Cafe. You know what. You know what I'm going to interject here.
Speaker 3If you're new in town and have found our podcasts and you haven't driven around the flatlands and other areas of Burbank, Burbank's Roller Hockey Rink is on victory at. Ontario, that's right.
Speaker 1There was a bit of an urge or point to this, wasn't there?
Speaker 3And I figured well I didn't need to say hockey again.
Speaker 1but what, what'd you say?
Speaker 3That's right, hockey. But if people are wondering, you know they find our podcasts and they find it useful, but they don't know where everything is Now. They know where to drive by and my son lives about two blocks from there. You can hear the buzzard go off when there's a cold. You can hear the adults playing. It's pretty active.
Speaker 1And you can. If you're new to the town. You can go up to on Glen Oaks and find Hill Street Cafe while you're at it.
Speaker 2I found it interesting that they're going that so far. That hockey rink every year pays $25,000 in rent to the city to use that location. But I also saw in report that it's mostly only now adult teams. They didn't have any youth teams still there, so it's mostly just adult teams using the hockey. They do have family nights and an open days and all that where I get some kids come.
Speaker 1But now is the rink still open at Pickwick. Oh yeah, okay, I thought maybe that had closed with the bowling alley.
Speaker 2It's going to be ten years still on their lease. Okay so, but I just thought that it would be that it's just. It's too bad that they're not getting any you know any youth teams in there they need to address that at the youth board meeting.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, the LA Kings has supported both of these facilities. They are the ones that are holding part of the contract at Pickwick Ice Rink but the Roller Hockey Rink. They also have signage there and have donated quite a bit of money to keep these youths you know out active and so forth and give them ideas of Well, the problem is, they need stuff to do in this town, but there's no youth teams.
Speaker 1Well, mostly adult teams, it says. So there are yeah.
Speaker 2Well, I'm reporting to head zero for the adult youth. Oh, correct, Actually it had. It had an A's on Apple or something, I'm not sure, but had the youth number not adult numbers.
Speaker 1Maybe it was not adult?
Speaker 2Yeah, not adult.
Speaker 1I see my old boss's name coming up in the rundown.
Speaker 3Yes, but he doesn't have a small C in a small C.
Speaker 1No, it's not branded, but Dick Clark Clark has appeared in our rundown.
Speaker 2That's because the Dick Clark dog park is not a part of their design.
Speaker 1Say that 10 times fast.
Speaker 2There we go, they're going to dog park. The Park and Rec Board is going to talk about that. They want to have more, more public meetings and input on the design. They came up with two different designs. The dog park, I think one has parking in it. One does not have parking in it. We had parking on the street. Instead we have two parks separated when we're small dogs, one for large dogs.
Speaker 1And this is going in on the other side of their freeway from Johnny Carson Park. Correct, yeah.
Speaker 2Johnny Carson Park. This is between on Riverside Drive, between the bridge at Wendellista, on halfway toward Bob Hope Drive. Okay, on the north side.
Speaker 2That's considered Johnny Carson so if you drive by there right now, all you see is a big, big fence around the area that the water that LA water and power had used in part of their pumping construction, all that, and now they've they've left it becomes Burbank's. They're going to help pay for some of the money and Dick Clark productions, or his ex wife his wife is his former wife. He passed away Donating very, also Very. Clark she has been very active.
Speaker 1She's great.
Speaker 3Subcommittee and a lover of dogs Like he was, and the agreement was LA city needs to replace the same amount of trees, sprinklers and do that. And then they had a donation of a large amount I believe it was 125,000 from Dick Clark's and that's why they named it and they're kind of finalizing the plans. I will see it in our lifetime.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think this park like this would be really popular, and I can vouch for the Clarks being dog fans, because I used to see Carrie little Carrie wrangling four dogs around the office every day.
Speaker 2They said that the park will be functional by the fall of 2024.
Speaker 1Well, it's just, it's not a lot to do to make up the park, I don't think.
Speaker 2If you look at the plans, they did a lot of design. That goes into a lot of trails and amenities and nothing really to have to build a fence or have to build a parking lot. That's going to take a little, you know, so we'll see tonight's trivia Molly, maybelline, lucille and Bernardo.
Speaker 1Those were the Clarks four dogs, yeah, in order of height.
Speaker 2He had his offices over on all over around Fairview Right.
Speaker 1And now three zero zero three West Olive and dogs would roam around in there. Oh yeah, lucille the Dalmatian was a gift from Mariah Gloria Estefan, I believe to them, and Lucille would go around the office. She was a vacuum cleaner. She would eat absolutely anything you left out. Molly and Maybelline were mother and daughter, and Bernardo was the little little bitty mutt that's basically lived on the chair and in Carrie's office. She was the little little left dog trivia.
Speaker 3I tell you I'm way back I can't, none of them. They're all gone now, I'm sure, but I spent a lot of time with those Clark now we should assign Craig Durling when that groundbreaking is, to cover that I love that I bet you he would love to see Carrie, and I bet you a ton of Dick Clark employees.
Speaker 1The people stuck around. They were very loyal employees with that. That company People stuck around for a long time to work with Dick and Carrie.
Speaker 3So well, he's been good to Burbank. I know that when he had offices here.
Speaker 2Is that still their offices there, or have they completely moved out?
Speaker 1No, that's gone. He sold the company. It was bought and they're down on. Dick Clark Productions is down on Wilshire now.
Speaker 2They still do productions.
Speaker 1It's a different production company. It's open road productions now, but I don't think it had anything to do with DCP. I think it was a former Casket showroom, but if you go all of past the Chick-fil-A right there, all of an Alameda. You got the gas station right there, but the brick building across the street from the gas station, three story brick building with Ivy all over it. That was Dick Clark Productions for many, many years.
Speaker 3Prior to that, it was a mortuary.
Speaker 1A casket, showroom or more. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2Well, also on Thursday, talking about, what were we talking about? We're talking about dogs, speaking of dogs, speaking of dogs, dog house you know Dog house.
Speaker 3What a segue, what a segue, wow.
Speaker 2Well, we have a ribbon cutting. Oh, there we go.
Speaker 1I couldn't find the button there it is One of our favorite things A ribbon cutting at the dog house, the dog house, that's a hot dog place right.
Speaker 2Yeah, the dog house on is a 3019 hallway.
Speaker 3That's one I gave you the tour of.
Speaker 1So is this a new one, or are they replacing the one? That used to be the Taco Bell on. They're both open here in Burbank now, okay, so this is going to be a second one open.
Speaker 2And I will say, when you drive in that parking lot you can at least find the dog house. It's got a very nice neon sign, unlike Randy's Donuts that has a little band somewhere down the hallway Randy's or Randy's, but the dog house on.
Speaker 1is it all of? Oh, next to what used to be lightning dubs, but it was prior to being the dog house. It was a Taco Bell that did not have a drive through.
Speaker 2Right Always a problem, yep, always a problem.
Speaker 1And right there there's not a lot of parking there.
Speaker 2And then right down the street from that, you know where there was a block. There's been an empty lot forever. That was a KFC, but that's back in the day, Back in the day.
Speaker 1Do you have that Taco Bell on your list of restaurants? That ain't no mo cross.
Speaker 3I definitely do Okay.
Speaker 2And the KFC. I do.
Speaker 3How do you spell that? How many KFCs? We had a couple we had a couple.
Speaker 2Okay, so we got the one on victory still there, yep, we had the one on olive not there, and we're the third one.
Speaker 3Conspicuously not there, if you recall, the one on all of and the one next to Texaco, next to the mailbox place at all of, and what is that?
Speaker 1We need to revisit our cross streets, going down all of wait a second. Everything's on all of the busy street. I think we should shut it down to a bus lane and a bicycle.
Speaker 2I remember KFC and olive.
Speaker 3I have two here. I thought I had three. There was one uptown too. How did I know? The other side of the hill.
Speaker 2Anywho 4.30pm on Thursday the 8th. We've been cutting. I'm sure they'll give a free something or other here. So goodbye and pick up something.
Speaker 3They might have some freebies. I'm going to go back to the other side of the hill. I'm going to go back to the other side of the hill. What's the word I'm looking for? The whole month they have offered. I've seen almost every organization have A meal that you know A gift night or a night there. I know Rotary did, I know some Burbank I teams did and I believe they were offering Whatever organization.
Speaker 1If you've ever seen the menu at the dog house, it's quite a menu. They actually quite. They have a whole bunch of different stuff there.
Speaker 2That's all Chili on it, cheese and all kinds of I still say this If you like to donate to those organizations, they're going to spend $20 somewhere, or they only get $2 or $4. Give them $10 or $20. Right to the right to the right to the organization. They can use that a whole lot more than the two or $4 they make off here.
Speaker 1Every little bit helps.
Speaker 2We'll put it in the every little bit help. Every little bit helps Every little bit helps this category, all right, you know that these four, only one thing left to talk about.
Speaker 1There might be a couple of new additions to this category tonight, I don't know, but I can't wait to find out with everybody else, it's time for.
Speaker 4Ross's rant. Ross's rant Ross's rant I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a I take a, I take a.
Speaker 3I take a.
Speaker 3I take a, I take a, I take a I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a, I take a. And I heard what's up, doc. Well, I ain't no doc, but I got a rant. Actually, it's not a real complaint, I was just noticing I have Been home and watching, like everybody, report after report, news report about this and everything, and watching houses slide down hills, burbank. Know about readyburbankorg where you can sign up and you can go online and even if you got sandbags from Burbank or anywhere, there's a diagram, the proper way to put your sandbags, so they're useful. People think that the sandbags novel idea isn't it?
Speaker 3yeah, and I mean, if you put them the right way, the sandbags are to divert water. You know, a lot of people put them in their garage, along the garage door you got to give the water up somewhere to go exactly you're channeling the water, you're not just damning it up you can go online and readyburbankorg.
Speaker 3It's notcom. I know I called the or I text the mayor today. Why aren't they publicizing that? And he did a PSA on his own TikTok and so forth, that Burbank is pretty well prepared. And then the other thing I have a friend that took sick yesterday and I said give me your neighbors, sorry, give me your neighbors well, we lost your, your audio Ross did you hit a button?
Speaker 1you can see you, we don't hear you well, something.
Speaker 2So we have a bug in the system here can you write?
Speaker 1can you write it down on a piece of paper? Hold it up to the camera? I think I'm gonna predict, see if we can get you back. But because you told me this story earlier that you wanted to get your friends, neighbors phone number so if there was an emergency, he had an emergency or something like that, you could communicate with his neighbor right who may also have access to his house if he is away for a bit. It's not in the affirmative, if I'm right, or close. Pretty good, but that's another.
Speaker 1Another thing, and we talk about National Night Out a lot. It's a way, a chance to get to know your neighbors. In these days you may not know your neighbor to the left and right or across from you, but get to know them, exchange phone numbers so if something does happen and if they have keys they can get in and turn, you know a pipe off or something if it's flooding, or get access if somebody is falling down in the house. But a good lesson in that National Night Out is a good reason to do that. But get to know your neighbors, help each other out, watch you, watch out for each other and what we learned tonight?
Silent Ross's Farewell on Burbank Talks
