-Committee Announcements and Updates

• Security updates us on trying to resolve the transparency issue they are having. They are in constant communication with the LAPD and the police have no reason to be worried about the occupants. Graffiti is becoming an issue, security asks that people refrain from writing on donated bathrooms. Also if you see something, say something. Security wants occupants to know that they are here for de-escalation, not to police.
