Please send the following message to Councilman Bonin:
Dear Councilman Bonin,
Venice continues to be inundated by scores of people living in their
vehicles right next to schools and residences with all the problems that
this generates.
The City Attorney last year presented the City Council with new language
for LAMC 85.02 that meets the constitutional concerns of the court. You
can view it in CF 14-1057 and City Attorney Report R15-0088. The CA's
report includes alternative language that would allow car camping at
remote locations in conjunction with participation in a program with
social service agencies to find permanent housing.
I am writing to ask that you press your colleagues on the Homeless and
Poverty Committee to pass this new version of LAMC 85.02 and send it to the
City Council for a vote.
Thank you,
Mark Ryavec, President, Venice Stakeholders Association
