News of Venice, CA and Marina del Rey CA
This bed, next to Children’s Park, as well as the coaches and chairs, at one of the pergolas, were removed Friday during the weekly cleaning of Ocean Front Walk, 3rd Avenue, and the City Maintenance Yard on Thatcher by Bureau of Sanitation. Bulky items are gone!
Both ordinances dealing with Los Angeles Municipal Codes 56.11 and 63.44 were enrolled as law 15 July and will be effective 18 July, according to Mark Ryavec, president of the Venice Stakeholders Association. Ryavec got the information from the City Clerk’s office this morning.
When they will be enforceable is another story.
These are the laws Mayor Eric Garcetti said he would not sign but City Charter rules can bypass a Mayor’s signature. Mayor Garcetti also said he would not enforce such unless there were amendments to preserve prescription drugs and identification information.
Police Commission can trump Mayor’s enforcement capability.
Steve Soboroff, head of the Police Commission, indicated to Ryavec this morning that he wanted the two amendments as fast as possible so that officers can be trained with the information contained in the two amendments, regarding prescription drugs and identification information. Ryavec also said that Soboroff indicated he would honor the Mayor’s request to have the amendments first.
The ordinances deal with cleaning up the City parks and public areas, such as sidewalks, parkways, streets and alleys. The main points are:
Bulky items that will not fit into a 60-gallon garbage can be removed without notification.
Tents on park grounds will not be allowed unless a permit is obtained. Tents on sidewalks will be allowed from 9 pm to 6 am.
