      What is his plan for the next 5 years?
      Why did he promote Prop A, the March 2013 ballot measure to increase our sales tax by a half cent when immediately afterwards the City found $375 million in new revenue and pension savings?
      What is his plan to reduce the lawsuits plaguing the LAPD. (internal/external)
    2. Mary Nemick, Director of Communications with the City’s Bureau of Engineering- Bureau of Engineering is responsible for the planning, design and construction of buildings, parks and open space, critical infrastructure and other facilities in the public right-of-way throughout the City.

He will also discuss his current audit of the Bureau of Street Services.
    4. Robert Rosebrock, Veterans Advocate- Presentation of plan to help the veterans that are homeless to get the services they need.
  2. LEGISLATIVE
    1. VA Motion Move that the LAANC approve a motion demanding the Los Angeles City Council pass a motion supporting the ACLU lawsuit and Federal Court decision upholding plaintiffs complaint that the V.A violated the Administrative Procedures Act which states that any leases must be with health-care providers and related entities for the sharing of health-care resources.  The Disputed Agreements do not share space that is related to the provision of health-care and are unauthorized by law and therefore void. The LAANC Motion hereby demands the City Council to direct the VA to use this land exclusively for permanent supportive housing and healthcare for Veterans.
    2.  Los Angeles Sidewalks Update on the progress of the committee formed to create a solution for our City’s broken sidewalk issue. See CIS attached.
    3. Trans-Pacific Partnership, Liz Amsden To request that LANCC and its member Neighborhood Councils endorse Los Angeles City Council CF 14-0002-S4 for the city to oppose the Fast Track process, but specifically in connection with the Trans-Pacific Partnership.  Trade deals are necessary but the process being used is placing the City in a non-competitive position and will put our city at risk financially.
