    1. On July 7, 2022 the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) approved the proposed License Agreement (Agreement), between the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) and Community Partners, a California non-profit corporation to formally approve a verbal  substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment No. 1, for the use of Westchester Recreation Center swimming pool parking lot located at 9100 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, CA., as described in the Summary of this Report, for a term from October 4, 2021 to October 2, 2022.   RAP voted to end the use of the lot on October 2, 2022.  Currently RAP and the Mayor’s office are in discussions at the request of Councilman Bonin’s office to extend this SAFE Parking LA Program at Westchester Swimming Pool Parking Lot which the NCWP is apposed to.  NCWP President Gerez has requested a meeting with Councilman Bonin, requested his attendance at our Board Meeting.  At the time of creating this agenda there has been nothing proposed.  President Gerez will continue to advocate for the removal of SAFE Parking from both the Swimming Pool Lot and the Municipal Lot.
    2. The Municipal Lot is being used to bring in (tow) trailers and inoperable vehicles.  Why is this being allowed?  I ask the NCWP approve a letter asking that the Municipal Lot be vacated per the approved signage that the lot closes and the existing laws.
    3. The NCWP President has received no support of updates on the Extended Stay Hotel as promised to the NCWP from Councilman Bonin’s Office.  How can the NCWP best support the stakeholders who have been left to fend for themselves with no representations from their Councilman and Constituent Advocate.
