Naddering Glassell Park Neighborhood Council Naybobs Ignore Brown Act
This video almost makes me ashamed to be a Neighborhood Council member, even though I belong to a different Council. At least in our Council stakeholders are respected and given the right to speak even if they show up in a construction helmet complaining about blowing tree limbs (true story). Anyway, I digress.
Here a member of the community has freaked out an assortment of seemingly brain dead Council members when she videotapes the meeting. The ensuing debate would be funny if it were not so scary. This stakeholder has every right to video tape the meeting and the members as per the Brown Act.
I know we have fans over at the City Attorney's office who read this blog. Watch this video and let me know, what say you?
It might be time for a Glassell Park visit by the Dogg/Dowd production team who have experience instructing idiots that this is still America.

I'M DISENFRANCHISED WITH NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL, Y'ALL...
Y'all know about the CM deputy who sits on the NC board -- and the NC review commission.
Well I went to the Boyle Hts NC meeting today, cause I was in the area shooting a new public access TV show on Time Warner that will air in East LA and on YouTube.
A bunch of people showed up to be sworn in, which is good cause we need new participants in the NC system, and it isn't easy to get new recruits to show up.
Oh yeah, no quorum...meeting cancelled...thanks people...no agenda items...no swearing in of new members...come back in 30 days...maybe we'll have a quorum then.
They allowed public comment anyway:
When I told the story about the CM planning deputy, who sits on the board, who sits on the review commission, I got BIG laughs and lots of moans. (Ask Huizar's field deputy who was there.)
More on meeting and OVERALL NC SHADINESS

Unfortunately, the Glassell Park board members need to get a life and understand why they are there. They are an elected or appointed board of the neighborhood council, certified by the City of Los Angeles. If this was a meeting held with a 72-hour agenda posted in advance (and all neighborhood councils are) then they are bound by the "open meeting" law aka Brown Act. They should not have sat there and deliberated and voted about video taping. It was likely not on the agenda! Further, taping and recording is allowed by anyone in a public meeting. If that person's personal equipment and tapes is their own then no providing of copy required. However....If they choose to use it publicly to prove a point, then it can produced and become public record but not until that happens. Costs for copies likely involved just like any other meeting you request a copy of downtown!
What on earth are the NC board members afraid of? That they are all hispanic and / or black? Are they racist perhaps? I sensed racism here...guess it happens just about anywhere.
What's wrong with being taped in the first place? Permission to tape or record is granted by the fact that these board members are part of a public, open and transparent certified neighborhood council and not their little club that they are to boss around while in office. If a board member is so afraid to be taped, maybe they should not be on the board or just go home. That's a nice message for the community.
Sorry Glassell Park board members. Why not be giving and let them record, tape or whatever? Engage your neighbors. That's what its all about.
What a turn off for the community. I'm sure you have more important things to do as a neighborhood council and for the community than to argue over taping. Gee Whiz~!

Isn't this the way Tony got his start. Ramrodding his way through sneaky back door Mecha meetings. It is amazing how simple people are so easily fooled. Look for that Bradley guy to be running for city council soon - his only credential, he "knows" someone at the City Attorney's office.
What a joke these neighborhood councils are - and the city leader know it. These meetings would just be an exercise in futility - if not for the cleavage shot on that Dayana Molina girl. Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac and cleavage is what enticed Tony.

The board may be new this year, but prez "Bradley" (one name only), allegedly of Glassell Park, was one of former DONE GM Greg Nelson's "star" pupils in the early days of the NC system. They used him in a DONE documentary that played over and over on Ch. 35 about how to run an NC that's "receptive" to the community's needs, and had him as a featured speaker and panelist at several past NC congresses and conventions and other training sessions.

Agnew was known for his tough criticisms of political opponents, especially journalists and anti-Vietnam War activists. He was known for attacking his opponents with unusual, often alliterative epithets, some of which were coined by White House speech-writers William Safire and Pat Buchanan, including "nattering nabobs of negativism" (written by Safire), "pusillanimous pussyfoots", and "hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history".

Oh, it gets better: GPNC has been hijacked by the religious group Victory Outreach and developers lead by Bradley and Paula Bagasao, who are ringleaders of the development group PROH-LA.
Bradley and his ilk wants to gut the Hillside Ordinance and the Mt. Washington-Glassell Park Specific Plan so developers can put McMansions in the hillsides and waive developers' responsibilities for creating the infrastructure to support the development that they want to cash in on.
The Bradley-led developers created a coalition with Victory Outreach to take over the NC in the last election. What does Victory Outreach want out of this? A 25 ft. high, Vegas-style sign on Eagle Rock Blvd. in Glassell Park, which the old neighborhood council thought was obtrusive. Here's the best part: the sign will say "Victory Outreach of Eagle Rock" - in Glassell Park!
How's that for giving the finger to Glassell Park residents! The GPNC Board is a perfect example of what's wrong with the NC system (can be easily taken over by special interests, not representative of the community) and why it is dangerous and a monumental waste of taxpayer money. Pigs feeding at the trough, indeed!

Then why didn't the old "good" board do some to keep "special interests" from taking over?
Residents outnumber "others" like the church and the developers, 20 to 1, EASILY
The old board was basically in power for 4 years, spent $100K and could have spend another $50K just to get people on board with their goals for the community.
WHY DIDN'T THEY GET MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED?
Instead, voter turnout dropped off 45 percent since the last election.
They were "taken over" in an election where barely more than 100 votes cast. That's not being taken over, that's committing NC-SUICIDE, by neglecting to let the 24,000+ OTHER people in the community know WHAT you're doing and WHY it's important to THEM!
WHO KNOWS, maybe they all WANT huge signs on the main drag and McMansions hanging off the hillsides propped up by 2 x 4s. YOU CAN'T PROVE OTHERWISE, based on the interest generated.
When the monster sign goes up saying "EAGLE ROCK" in the middle of Glassell, it needs to have a large neon line of dedication at the bottom that says:
"Brought to you through the neglect and elitism of the GPNC board, 2003-2006. We didn't give a shit what you wanted - so we didn't bother to ask?"
(By the way, my GOP friends say the Dems "took over" congress last year, but the Dems just call is this funny word called "democracy." Maybe you've heard of it? The old Glassell board apparently didn't.)

The fact is....you look at that video and you wonder what Bradley and the other lady are trying to hide? Since the GPNC has not posted ANY minutes for the new board going on 6 month now, I think it is a good idea that someone is willing to go and make a record of the meetings. But obviously Bradley does not like that, nor does Mrs Bagasho. No minutes posted at their website www.gparknc.com from the past 5-6 month and no record of what they are up to? Thank goodness someone is taking a risk videotaping. It looks like a hostile environment to say the least and that is just not right. Regardless of what else might or might not be going on, Bradley appears to have lied to the general public repeatedly with his comments about the "City Attorney's Office" being in his camp about videotaping meetings of the GPNC. Anyone who has spent much time studying Bradley knows this is his MO, baffle em' with bull and feed them more crap. Bullying people who disagree with him and making it up as he goes along. Some people can be fooled by his bogus "passive agressive" behavior, others are suspicious and generally turned off. Perhaps Bradley "Bashing" the person with the video camera is just what the doctor ordered for a sick puppy.

Bradley (the Cher of NCs) doesn't want anyone to know his history so he doesn't give his last name.
Many people would love to know what his real story is and what he's hiding from.
3:07 - NCs voting can be easily manipulated. And, GPNC is a good example - get a few special interests together as PROH-LA and Victory Outreach did, organize a paltry 450 votes (vs. a population of 28,000 within the NC) and you can gain control over $50k a year per NC.
GPNC is a perfect example of how flawed the system is where practically anyone can be considered a "stakeholder" and thus allowed to vote. Problem is no one votes because they are disenfranchised; this woman on the tape is a perfect example of what happens when you have folks like Bradley in charge. They badger and become ugly and most normal people don't want to be a part of something this ugly. So, the Bradleys of the world take control.
As to the old regime, I suggest you ask those who were on the old board who decided not to run why they decided to cut and run when they heard of the PROH-LA/Victory Outreach alliance that they dubbed the "Diversity Coalition."

104. And there's never been ANY proof that an NC election was won by manipulating votes, ever. Just sour grapes bullshit from the losers.
If you can't get more than that out after 4 years as the board, spending $100,000 in the community (or wasting it), you should run and HIDE - not run for office. But the poor losers are STILL bitching and moaning (scratch this thread and there's 5 of them here. . .)
If someone can BEAT your ass with what, 53 votes?? in a community of 25 thousand, then there was NO "take over". Just a little bit of atypical outreach (look it up, old board members). If each past board seat holder had convinced JUST the neighbors on either side of their house/apt. to vote, they would have retained control.
How sad is that?

The issue here is the current GPNC board and their intimidation of a stakeholder and Bradley's telling her to stop taping.
Did the City Attorney's office really tell Bradley she could not tape a public meeting? If so, who told him that?
If not, then Bradley needs to be held accountable for lying about the "advice" he's claiming he received and using it to shut people out of the process.
Who cares about the old board. It has nothing to do with these gestapo tactics by the current board.

Funny, there are nearly as many comments here from old board members posting anonymously and bitching about how they lost (and to whom), than there are people indignant about a violation of the Brown Act. It has to be them, since the vote turnout proves that NO body in GP cares enough to make a fuss like this.
If it's so unimportant then why are old board members and their friends suddenly taping the new board so they can play "gotcha!"
Who's attempting to intimidate who?
There isn't an NC board in L.A. that knows half the Brown Act requirements that apply to them, especially newly elected ones. And just try and get one of the 15-year-old staffers at DONE to clear anything up for you.
Hell, half of LAST years's board members citywide didn't even bother to take the required ethics exams last year - INCLUDING some of the Mayor Sam blowhard regulars who tout themselves as NC bigwigs.
The city barely holds Brown Act training anymore, to boot.

But, truth be told the edited piece being broadcast on the net is probably the most combative part of the entire meeting. At the same time, the videotaper states she neither wants to distribute nor release the tape. So, what the heck is she doing it for? She seems to be looking to agitate things just for the sake of it. Why? This is all pretty pathetic. Maybe she should take up knitting.
