I had a great time with my dog, Groot, at the Glassell Park Neighborhood Council’s Dog Walk on Saturday. They had nearly 1500 attend from all over Los Angeles and gathered several hundred signatures to support a future dog park in Glassell Park. When we finished with the walk, we headed over to the awesome Hermon Dog Park for a quick run after stopping by the forming Hermon Neighborhood Council subdivision election. There were 496 voters with 310 yes votes for subdivision and 186 no votes for subdivision. With no election challenges filed, we will be forwarding the Hermon Neighborhood Council subdivision application for the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners for final approval. Congratulations to Hermon Neighborhood Council! Election challenges were filed for the Skid Row Neighborhood Council so that election result will not be finalized until the challenges are resolved. HUGE thanks to our subdivision elections team, led by Stephen Box and Mike Fong, for running these challenging election and to our forming committees and Neighborhood Councils for bringing in the voters!
Today, I was happy to host the very important PerformLA Apprentice Level training for our new folks as well as staffers from the City Cerk’s Office and the cities of Manhattan Beach, Burbank and Irvine. Much appreciation to Personnel’s Raelynn Napper for conducting this wonderful process improvement and innovation workshop! I love this training and think it is crucial knowledge for all government staff.
