8. Motion to send a letter of support to “Reclaim Our Schools LA — Give Kids A Chance”
Resolved, the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council shall submit the following letter to “Reclaim Our Schools LA — Give Kids A Chance”.
To: Reclaim Our Schools LA – Give Kids A Chance
CC: Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA), and City of Los AngelesOn behalf of the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council (NC), we stand in support of Reclaim Our Schools LA’s Give Kids A Chance educaKon plaLorm that promotes the need for invesKng in teachers, community schools, parents, and most importantly our students within LAUSD. Reclaim Our Schools LA is a coaliKon of parents, educators, students, and community members working to improve access and advance opportuniKes in public educaKon for all students, so they thrive in the classroom, in their communiKes, and beyond.
The Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council is located in Los Angeles. As a neighborhood council we see an unprecedented wave of teacher acKvism that is sweeping the naKon. Parents, teachers, students and the community are fighKng for a beOer future for our students.
We stand with our teachers’ union, UTLA, in calling for a real investment in our neighborhood public schools, so that all students have an equal opportunity. Furthermore, the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council support educators raising their voices and people of good conscience forming alliances to make real changes for our public schools.
Below are key community demands that parents, teachers, and public educaKon stakeholders are supporKng as part of Reclaim Our Schools LA – Give Kids A Chance plaLorm:
•Fund Our Schools: California is the richest state in the naKon yet ranks 43 out of 50 among the states in per-pupil funding. LAUSD must fight at the local, state, and naKonal level to increase funding to $20,000 per student by the year 2020.
•Reduce Class Size: Students have a beOer chance to succeed with smaller classes. LAUSD must stop ignoring the rules that protect students from huge classes sizes.
•Invest in Community Schools: LAUSD must invest in the Community Schools model, with increased parent engagement, broadened curriculum, and wrap-around services.
•Fair Wages Now: LAUSD must offer teachers a fair wage increase. LA’s high cost of living is causing a teacher shortage that hurts students and teachers.
•Charter School Oversight LAUSD must regulate charter school growth and charter school co-locaKons on neighborhood school campuses. An unchecked expansion of charter schools drains millions away from our neighborhood schools.
•Support Students and Families SupporKng immigrant rights, ending racial profiling in searches, and increasing green space can create a beOer learning environment for all students.
•Improve School Safety LAUSD should fund staffing and school safety plans so that our students have real access to counselors, school psychologists, and nurses.
•Less TesBng and More Teaching LAUSD must increase educator discreKon in tesKng. Let’s limit unnecessary standardized tesKng that reduces criKcal instrucKonal Kme.
As the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council, we look forward to seeing posiKve outcomes with the bargaining process as well as the above menKoned implemented in the coming years so that our students succeed, teachers have resources, and parents have the schools LA students deserve.
Thank you.

9. Motion to submit comments to the Port of Los Angeles on the “Draft 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks”
Resolved, the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council shall submit the following letter to the Port of Los Angeles as a comment to the “Draft 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks”
Port of Los Angeles
Chris Cannon, Director Environmental Management P. O. Box 151
San Pedro CA 90733-0151 [email protected]Subject: Draft 2018 Feasibility Assessment for Drayage Trucks Comments Submittal To whom it may concern,
The policy and investment likely to result from the Ports’ Truck Feasibility Assessment will greatly influence policy decisions and investments throughout the US and even beyond by driving economies of scale, market dynamics, and advancing technological capability. I thank you greatly for requesting Comments and note that the current Draft Feasibility Assessment is based on static parameters which will drive planning limited to specific technolo- gies and economics that may prove ill-advised as engineering advancements and changes in fuel and infrastructure costs and availability evolve.
The Study must provide evaluations of multiple scenarios for phased implementations of different fuel technolo- gies, even simultaneously in varying mixes, and must not focus on limited implementation models, such as the current 11,000 Broadly Applicable Truck population.
The costs modeled in the Study must be considered variable due to evolving economic conditions and not limited to single scenario calculations such as the Total Cost of Ownership based on 12 years, fixed costs of fuels and bat- teries, hydrogen production, and electric utility rates.The work of the Study must continue as an uninterrupted, on-going effort to update affected sections as technol- ogy advances and economic forecasts change. The Study must be considered a dynamic and living document with revisions to be issued with the quarterly Clean Air Action Plan updates, next planned for 1st Quarter 2019.
Please also consider the concern that, as trucks are the greatest contributor to Greenhouse Gas emissions at the Port of Los Angeles and a top contributor at Long Beach, the production, storage, and transfer of natural gas re- leases methane, a significant and long-lasting Greenhouse Gas. Any calculations of the benefit resulting from re- duction in tail pipe emissions from Natural Gas fuel technologies must be revised to include consideration of the increased methane release, estimated at between two and three percent of natural gas consumed.
Please consider the following four examples as potential efforts to broaden the evaluation to multiple Assessment scenarios as suggested above which could be performed through pro- forma spreadsheet software:
1) Model varying quantities of truck fuel technology platforms among the fleet of frequent and infrequent truck populations. Among the complete fleet of trucks, evaluation of discreet quantities by technology type provides broader perspective with different numeric outcomes through varying the quantities in each fuel-technology platform. Cost projections must be modeled based on the multiple fuel technology mix scenarios.
2) Provide varying time period projections for Total Cost of Ownership allowing for different financing and capital expense strategies and planning.
3) Calculate cost outcomes based on multiple scenarios as the costs associated with each fuel technology and infrastructure is likely to vary and are subject to changes. For example, the electricity charge estimated for Department of Water and Power may be reduced substantially based on an Electric Vehicle rate, the cost of Natural Gas may rise substantially, and advancements in hydrogen production will drastically reduce the cost of fuel cell power.
4) Evaluation must be included of the potential impacts from a marginal container fee to fund California State Ports’ leadership in the transition to cleaner technology, which may greatly affect Total Cost of Ownership through increased incentives and subsidies possible through a shipping fee implemented state-wide.
We request your consideration of and response to the above recommendations. Thank you.
