(WHIP Vote 4-0-0)\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Charter Article IX on Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils states no limitations on Neighborhood Council Advocacy; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Attorney has issued a Memorandum on Advocacy [see NC and Ballot Measures-Lobbying-State and Federal Legislation.pdf posted with this agenda] that limits Neighborhood Councils to only advising city agencies; and\,\nWHEREAS\, Neighborhood Councils offer critical grassroots interfacing with all sectors of their communities and have in the past and still\, whenever asked\, continue to give advice to non-city governmental agencies\, contrary to the memorandum; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that limiting advocacy for local issues to the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor\, for a variety of reasons\, severely limits the number of local\, city and regional issues that can reach the officials who need to know; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that a simple disclosure in communications\, which states that a Neighborhood Council represents the position of the community and not the City of Los Angeles\, is adequate to prevent any confusion;\nTHEREFORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council send the following letter associated with this motion addressed to the City Attorney requesting a revision of the Memorandum on Neighborhood Council Advocacy. Additionally\, send courtesy copies to Council Member Blumenfield\, Mayor Eric Garcetti\, Council Member David Ryu\, Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel\, Nicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and Rob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director for City Attorney Mike Feuer.\nMarch 11\, 2020\nHonorable Mike Feuer\nCity Attorney\, Los Angeles\nCity Hall East\n200 N. Main Street\, 8th Floor\nLos Angeles\, CA 90012\nRE: Neighborhood Council Guidance on Local\, County\, State and Federal legislation\nDear City Attorney Feuer:\nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council requests that the City Attorney’s office revise the memorandum on “Neighborhood Councils and Ballot Measures / Lobbying / State and Federal Legislation” to enable Neighborhood Councils to advocate their positions on local\, county state and federal legislation and issues directly to relevant local\, county\, state and federal officials\, including any non-city government agencies\, responsible for the legislation\, or governmental agency interpretation\, or actions at issue.\nAs a first step\, we ask that the City Attorney replace\, in full\, the following Guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions on state and federal legislation to non-City governmental agencies. (Only the Mayor and the City Council have power over intergovernmental relations\, which include advocating the City’s position on laws that are pending with state or federal agencies or before the state legislature or federal government.)\,” and\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions to non-Coty [sic] governmental agencies because Neighborhood Councils\, pursuant to the Charter\, are advisory to the City’s decision-makers.”\nAs a replacement memorandum\, we ask that the City Attorney advise Neighborhood Councils with the following guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may advocate community positions to Non-City governmental agencies because these agencies shape policy\, and procedures\, and implement actions that affect the stakeholders whom Neighborhood Councils represent.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils may\, in an appropriate manner\, advocate community positions on local\, state and federal legislation to the local\, state or federal legislators who represent the district in which the Neighborhood Council exists.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must clearly state that the requests and opinions stated in their communication do not necessarily represent the official position of the City of Los Angeles and solely represent the position of the Neighborhood Council.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must submit to the City Clerk a copy of any written communication seeking/lobbying for actions sent to any government agency which is not part of the City of Los Angeles.”\nWe need to point out to you that throughout the months of December\, January\, and February\, staffers from our respective Senate and Assembly Districts have attended Neighborhood Council Board meetings. Representatives urged Boards to send any legislative requests to their State Senators and Assembly Members so that they can be considered for addition to their 2020 Legislative Agendas.\nCurrent City Attorney guidance currently prohibits Neighborhood Councils from taking any such action.\nAccording to the guidance offered\, Neighborhood Councils have only two options to voice their opinion on proposed legislation. The first is to ask our City Councilperson to advocate for legislation that currently does not exist\, and which he/she will have no responsibility nor ability to create at the state level. The second option is to ask our City Councilperson to forward a letter to state Legislator(s)\, rendering he/she little more than an intermediary messenger.\nThis limitation is impractical and appears to be an attempt to cripple Neighborhood Councils’ ability to advocate causes directly to their elected representatives.\nConsider the following scenarios that demonstrate why current policy does not work:\n1. When a City Councilperson resigns from office\, leaving their seat vacant.\nIf the Neighborhood Council has no current Councilperson\, and the current policy bars them from directly advocating to their local\, county\, state\, or federal legislator\, then how do they advocate on local\, county\, state or federal legislative issues\, or government agency interpretations? The policy leaves communities represented by their Neighborhood Councils without a voice on pressing matters through no fault of their own. Additionally\, proper guidance would not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established (assuming another councilperson could be persuaded and had the capacity to do so).\nA vacant City Council seat should not mute Neighborhood Councils.\n2. When a City Councilperson disagrees with a Neighborhood Council’s advocacy position and fails/refuses to act as a conduit.\nIf a City Councilperson decides\, that it is personally or politically expedient for him/her to ignore the advocacy of a Neighborhood Council\, and then refuses to pass on any concerns or advocate an issue to the local\, state or federal legislators representing a Neighborhood Council\, they effectively suppress the Council’s voice. The Neighborhood Council’s ability to advocate on behalf of its stakeholders is nonexistent. Once again\, proper guidance should not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established. What are the odds of finding a Councilperson willing to go against one of their own?\nNo City Councilperson should have this much control over the voice of the collection of constituents elected to Neighborhood Councils to represent their local communities. One improvement under guidelines would be to allow Neighborhood Council to create Council Files asking for City Council action.\n3. When a City Councilperson is unable to initiate actions on behalf of Neighborhood Councils results in critical deadlines missed.\nIt’s quite likely that a busy City Councilperson will not see or have time to address referring Neighborhood Council communications far enough in advance of critical Public Comment deadlines. Then Neighborhood Councils have lost their ability to voice their concerns or support for policy or critical legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. Moreover\, the cause of this could be nothing more than a matter of the limited District staff resources or inefficient bureaucratic city protocol. These limitations are easily avoidable when Neighborhood Councils can advocate directly to the local\, state\, and federal legislators or agency staff responsible for the matters considered. Why should Neighborhood Councils\, who make efforts to meet deadlines on impacting local\, state\, and federal policy or legislative issues\, be hindered by their City Councilperson from meeting commentary deadlines?\nRequiring Neighborhood Councils to rely on the prompt actions of Councilpersons should not artificially constrain their ability to address pressing policy or legislative matters.\n4. When\, assuming a City Council Member does initiate City action\, limited resources\, along with competing priorities of the City\, result in either slow or no City action\, or the delayed actions result in no advice rendered before deadlines arrive.\nIf the City Council is unable to lobby or misses critical deadlines for Public Comment due to its inability to act or the inability of Departments to respond in time\, then the consequence is that Neighborhood Councils lose their ability to voice their concerns or support for a critical policy or legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. The City and its inhabitants suffer when it fails to timely weigh in. The contributions of Neighborhood Councils fill the gap.\nStifling Neighborhood Councils from addressing important community issues by requiring them to rely on the prompt actions of the City Council or City Departments is obstructive. Current guidance is contrary to the Charter’s intentions.\nWe believe it is our duty to our stakeholders to be able to advocate on their behalf to the local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators and regulatory agencies\, who are directly responsible for enacting legislative agendas and regulatory guidelines promptly.\nForcing Neighborhood Councils to address matters\, which are solely the responsibility of local\, state\, or federal legislators\, through the City Council\, constrains Neighborhood Councils and results in unnecessary bureaucratic delay. It forces Neighborhood Councils to address their concerns to a level of government that has no jurisdiction or control over impending local\, state\, or federal legislative issues. It opens the opportunity to ignore those matters for purely political or bureaucratic reasons. These situations are anathema to the very system of Neighborhood Councils representing their communities at the grass roots level.\nNowhere in Article IX of the City Charter does it explicitly prohibit Neighborhood Councils from directly contacting local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators who represent them or non-city government agencies who have impacts on our local communities.\nCharter Article IX\, Section 900\, which expressly lays out the Purpose of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the creation of the Neighborhood Council system\, states:\n“To promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs\, a citywide system of neighborhood councils and a Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is created. Neighborhood Councils shall include representatives of the many diverse interests in communities and shall have an advisory role on issues of concern to the neighborhood.”\nWe point out that it says “government” implying all levels\, not just the City.\nSimilarly\, contrary to what we are told\, nowhere in the Charter are Neighborhood Councils restricted to communications solely with the City Council and its members. Neighborhood Councils are a separate\, non-subordinate branch of local government\, and therefore should not be under any obligation to channel their communications through City Council representatives.\nThe Charter recognizes that direct communication between the Neighborhood Councils and their local\, county\, state\, and federal policymakers and legislators are vastly superior to a system that requires the Neighborhood Councils to communicate and respond only through the City Council as an intermediary.\nWe hope that you will give this issue every consideration.\nRespectfully yours\,\nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board of Directors\nSee attached support document\nCc: Mayor Eric Garcetti\nCouncilmember Bob Blumenfield\nCouncilmember David Ryu\nCounty Supervisor Sheila Kuel\nAssembly Member Jesse Gabriel\nState Senator Henry Stern\nNicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and\nRob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director\, City Attorney Mike Feuer\nItem No. (5) PLUM Committee\, Lauren Kaufman\, Chair\n(20-022) AA-2018-1610-PMLA – lot split\n5063 N Medina Road\, 91364\nDiscussion and possible action:\nRequest for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to split a property into two\, (updated May 15\, 2019\, from request for three parcels originally) different legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills Community Plan area.\nMotion\nAs pertaining to Case AA-2018-1610-PMLA\, having held two public meeting for an application for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to split a single property into two legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park – Winnetka – Woodland Hills – West Hills Community Plan area\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that:\nWHEREAS\, the subject property located at 5063 N Medina Road\, 91364 is 21\,000 square feet which would allow for two lots of a minimum of 10\,000 sf; and\nWHEREAS\, each of the properties would have direct and separate access\, one on Medina Rd. and the other on Tendilla Ave.; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split apparently will not change the character of the community materially from the existing community development; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split is in keeping with an R1-1 zoned community.\nTHEREFORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings stated herein above\, recommend that the submitted application for the request for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to\nsplit a property into two\, legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park – Winnetka – Woodland Hills – West Hills Community Plan area receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council.

Secretary in writing at the board meeting.\nA motion from the WHWCNC Impacts and Policies (WHIP) Committee recommending the WHWCNC Board send a letter to the City Attorney requesting him to change his memorandum on Neighborhood Council advocacy. (WHIP Vote 4-0-0)\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Charter Article IX on Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils states no limitations on Neighborhood Council Advocacy; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Attorney has issued a Memorandum on Advocacy [see NC and Ballot Measures-Lobbying-State and Federal Legislation.pdf posted with this agenda] that limits Neighborhood Councils to only advising city agencies; and\,\nWHEREAS\, Neighborhood Councils offer critical grassroots interfacing with all sectors of their communities and have in the past and still\, whenever asked\, continue to give advice to non-city governmental agencies\, contrary to the memorandum; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that limiting advocacy for local issues to the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor\, for a variety of reasons\, severely limits the number of local\, city and regional issues that can reach the officials who need to know; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that a simple disclosure in communications\, which states that a Neighborhood Council represents the position of the community and not the City of Los Angeles\, is adequate to prevent any confusion;\nTHEREFORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council send the following letter associated with this motion addressed to the City Attorney requesting a revision of the Memorandum on Neighborhood Council Advocacy. Additionally\, send courtesy copies to Council Member Blumenfield\, Mayor Eric Garcetti\, Council Member David Ryu\, Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel\, Nicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and Rob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director for City Attorney Mike Feuer.\nMarch 11\, 2020\nHonorable Mike Feuer\nCity Attorney\, Los Angeles\nCity Hall East\n200 N. Main Street\, 8th Floor\nLos Angeles\, CA 90012\nRE: Neighborhood Council Guidance on Local\, County\, State and Federal legislation\nDear City Attorney Feuer:\nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council requests that the City Attorney’s office revise the memorandum on “Neighborhood Councils and Ballot Measures / Lobbying / State and Federal Legislation” to enable Neighborhood Councils to advocate their positions on local\, county state and federal legislation and issues directly to relevant local\, county\, state and federal officials\, including any non-city government agencies\, responsible for the legislation\, or governmental agency interpretation\, or actions at issue.\nAs a first step\, we ask that the City Attorney replace\, in full\, the following Guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions on state and federal legislation to non-City governmental agencies. (Only the Mayor and the City Council have power over intergovernmental relations\, which include advocating the City’s position on laws that are pending with state or federal agencies or before the state legislature or federal government.)\,” and\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions to non-Coty [sic] governmental agencies because Neighborhood Councils\, pursuant to the Charter\, are advisory to the City’s decision-makers.”\nAs a replacement memorandum\, we ask that the City Attorney advise Neighborhood Councils with the following guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may advocate community positions to Non-City governmental agencies because these agencies shape policy\, and procedures\, and implement actions that affect the stakeholders whom Neighborhood Councils represent.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils may\, in an appropriate manner\, advocate community positions on local\, state and federal legislation to the local\, state or federal legislators who represent the district in which the Neighborhood Council exists.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must clearly state that the requests and opinions stated in their communication do not necessarily represent the official position of the City of Los Angeles and solely represent the position of the Neighborhood Council.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must submit to the City Clerk a copy of any written communication seeking/lobbying for actions sent to any government agency which is not part of the City of Los Angeles.”\nWe need to point out to you that throughout the months of December\, January\, and February\, staffers from our respective Senate and Assembly Districts have attended Neighborhood Council Board meetings. Representatives urged Boards to send any legislative requests to their State Senators and Assembly Members so that they can be considered for addition to their 2020 Legislative Agendas.\nCurrent City Attorney guidance currently prohibits Neighborhood Councils from taking any such action.\nAccording to the guidance offered\, Neighborhood Councils have only two options to voice their opinion on proposed legislation. The first is to ask our City Councilperson to advocate for legislation that currently does not exist\, and which he/she will have no responsibility nor ability to create at the state level. The second option is to ask our City Councilperson to forward a letter to state Legislator(s)\, rendering he/she little more than an intermediary messenger.\nThis limitation is impractical and appears to be an attempt to cripple Neighborhood Councils’ ability to advocate causes directly to their elected representatives.\nConsider the following scenarios that demonstrate why current policy does not work:\n1. When a City Councilperson resigns from office\, leaving their seat vacant.\nIf the Neighborhood Council has no current Councilperson\, and the current policy bars them from directly advocating to their local\, county\, state\, or federal legislator\, then how do they advocate on local\, county\, state or federal legislative issues\, or government agency interpretations? The policy leaves communities represented by their Neighborhood Councils without a voice on pressing matters through no fault of their own. Additionally\, proper guidance would not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established (assuming another councilperson could be persuaded and had the capacity to do so).\nA vacant City Council seat should not mute Neighborhood Councils.\n2. When a City Councilperson disagrees with a Neighborhood Council’s advocacy position and fails/refuses to act as a conduit.\nIf a City Councilperson decides\, that it is personally or politically expedient for him/her to ignore the advocacy of a Neighborhood Council\, and then refuses to pass on any concerns or advocate an issue to the local\, state or federal legislators representing a Neighborhood Council\, they effectively suppress the Council’s voice. The Neighborhood Council’s ability to advocate on behalf of its stakeholders is nonexistent. Once again\, proper guidance should not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established. What are the odds of finding a Councilperson willing to go against one of their own?\nNo City Councilperson should have this much control over the voice of the collection of constituents elected to Neighborhood Councils to represent their local communities. One improvement under guidelines would be to allow Neighborhood Council to create Council Files asking for City Council action.\n3. When a City Councilperson is unable to initiate actions on behalf of Neighborhood Councils results in critical deadlines missed.\nIt’s quite likely that a busy City Councilperson will not see or have time to address referring Neighborhood Council communications far enough in advance of critical Public Comment deadlines. Then Neighborhood Councils have lost their ability to voice their concerns or support for policy or critical legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. Moreover\, the cause of this could be nothing more than a matter of the limited District staff resources or inefficient bureaucratic city protocol. These limitations are easily avoidable when Neighborhood Councils can advocate directly to the local\, state\, and federal legislators or agency staff responsible for the matters considered. Why should\nNeighborhood Councils\, who make efforts to meet deadlines on impacting local\, state\, and federal policy or legislative issues\, be hindered by their City Councilperson from meeting commentary deadlines?\nRequiring Neighborhood Councils to rely on the prompt actions of Councilpersons should not artificially constrain their ability to address pressing policy or legislative matters.\n4. When\, assuming a City Council Member does initiate City action\, limited resources\, along with competing priorities of the City\, result in either slow or no City action\, or the delayed actions result in no advice rendered before deadlines arrive.\nIf the City Council is unable to lobby or misses critical deadlines for Public Comment due to its inability to act or the inability of Departments to respond in time\, then the consequence is that Neighborhood Councils lose their ability to voice their concerns or support for a critical policy or legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. The City and its inhabitants suffer when it fails to timely weigh in. The contributions of Neighborhood Councils fill the gap.\nStifling Neighborhood Councils from addressing important community issues by requiring them to rely on the prompt actions of the City Council or City Departments is obstructive. Current guidance is contrary to the Charter’s intentions.\nWe believe it is our duty to our stakeholders to be able to advocate on their behalf to the local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators and regulatory agencies\, who are directly responsible for enacting legislative agendas and regulatory guidelines promptly.\nForcing Neighborhood Councils to address matters\, which are solely the responsibility of local\, state\, or federal legislators\, through the City Council\, constrains Neighborhood Councils and results in unnecessary bureaucratic delay. It forces Neighborhood Councils to address their concerns to a level of government that has no jurisdiction or control over impending local\, state\, or federal legislative issues. It opens the opportunity to ignore those matters for purely political or bureaucratic reasons. These situations are anathema to the very system of Neighborhood Councils representing their communities at the grass roots level.\nNowhere in Article IX of the City Charter does it explicitly prohibit Neighborhood Councils from directly contacting local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators who represent them or non-city government agencies who have impacts on our local communities.\nCharter Article IX\, Section 900\, which expressly lays out the Purpose of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the creation of the Neighborhood Council system\, states:\n“To promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs\, a citywide system of neighborhood councils and a Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is created. Neighborhood Councils shall include representatives of the many diverse interests in communities and shall have an advisory role on issues of concern to the neighborhood.”\nWe point out that it says “government” implying all levels\, not just the City.\nSimilarly\, contrary to what we are told\, nowhere in the Charter are Neighborhood Councils restricted to communications solely with the City Council and its members. Neighborhood Councils are a separate\, non-subordinate branch of local government\, and therefore should not be under any obligation to channel their communications through City Council representatives.\nThe Charter recognizes that direct communication between the Neighborhood Councils and their local\, county\, state\, and federal policymakers and legislators are vastly superior to a system that requires the Neighborhood Councils to communicate and respond only through the City Council as an intermediary.\nWe hope that you will give this issue every consideration.\nRespectfully yours\,\nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board of Directors\nSee attached support document\nCc: Mayor Eric Garcetti\nCouncilmember Bob Blumenfield\nCouncilmember David Ryu\nCounty Supervisor Sheila Kuel\nAssembly Member Jesse Gabriel\nState Senator Henry Stern\nNicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and\nRob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director\, City Attorney Mike Feuer\nItem No. (6) Public Safety and Transportation Committee\, Sheppard Kaufman Chair\n(20-021) Ordinance amending LAMC Section 63.41\nTo allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, in accordance with state law\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion for the WHWC Neighborhood Council Board to support amending LAMC Section 63.41 as presented by Councilmember Joe Buscaino\, 15th District:\nThe Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) currently has 22 sworn City of Los Angeles park rangers assigned to its Park Ranger Division. The staffing levels are anticipated to expand to 50 rangers by mid-2020. Every day\,\npark rangers patrol the City’s parks day and night\, often in remote and desolate areas of the City\, and assist other City law enforcement agencies\, including the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Approximately 70 percent of a ranger’s daily duties are related to law enforcement activities and the first responder to an emergency in a City park is likely to be a park ranger.\nEvery sworn park ranger assigned to RAP’s Park Ranger Division is required to complete a six-month Certified Academy Training Course\, which includes\, among other things\, firearm training. The course is administered by California Police Officer Standard and Training (CAPOST)\, which regulates standards and training for all California law enforcement agencies throughout the state. CAPOST recognizes the City of Los Angeles Park Ranger Division and its sworn personnel as a law enforcement agency with full police powers to detain\, arrest\, book criminal violators\, conduct investigations into criminal activity\, and beyond. RAP park rangers are also considered full law enforcement officers under California Penal Code (CPC) section 830.1 and have full police powers throughout the State of California.\nFor the protection of the public and for the safety of all law enforcement officers in the City\, it is necessary to amend LAMC section 63.41\, to allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, as authorized by CPC §830.31 (b) which states\, “ a person designated by a local agency as a park ranger\, who is regularly employed and paid in that capacity\, and whose primary duty is the protection of parks\, may be armed by their employing agency.”\nPark rangers should have the full ability to utilize all law enforcement tools and equipment to ensure the safety and security of the public under all circumstances.\nI THEREFORE MOVE that the City Attorney be DIRECTED to prepare and present an ordinance amending LAMC Section 63.41 to allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, in accordance with state law.\nI FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks be DIRECTED to report back on the department’s plans for Use of Force policies; tactics and training; partnership\, if any\, with the Los Angeles Police Department on Categorical Uses of Force Investigations; counseling and psychological evaluations following a Categorical Use of Force incidents; and the budgetary impacts of the proposed program to arm park rangers.\nI FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Los Angeles Police Department be DIRECTED to report back with policies and procedures for the implementation of the proposed program to arm\npark rangers. (By: Councilmember Joe Buscaino\, 15th District)\nTherefore\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends the Board of the WHWCNC support Council File 20-0190 directing the City Attorney to present an amendment to LAMC 63.41allowing the LA City Park Rangers to be armed and further directing the Department of Recreation and Parks and Los Angeles Police Department to report back to the City Council and Committees on the proposed policies and procedures for implementing the proposed program.\nItem No. (7) Public Safety and Transportation Committee\, Sheppard Kaufman\, Chair\n(20-022) Funding for a WHWC NC Booth at CD3/Blumenfield April 18\, 2020 Emergency Preparedness Fair\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion to allocate up to $100 from the Public Safety Committee budget for the purchase of refreshments\nand copy services for NC emergency prep handouts if the NC staffs a booth at the CD3 Emergency Preparedness Fair.
