PETITION FOR A 24-HOUR SECURITY PRESENCE AT THE LOFTS AT NOHO COMMONS

PETITION FOR A 24-HOUR SECURITY PRESENCE AT THE LOFTS AT NOHO COMMONS.

We have collected over 130 unique signatures in favor of the petition for a 24-hour security presence at The Lofts at Noho Commons. After our meeting with Scott McCarter of Redwood Partners, Inc., the representatives of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., their legal council and many of the residents, in good faith I chose to take down the petition. I am meeting with Officer John Catalano Saturday October 9, 2008 to discuss the state of our situation. I am also meeting with Octavio Sanchez of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. to discuss a possible timeline Monday or Tuesday of next week.

As per the petition, “If there is no satisfactory resolution found by the residents by the property owners within 45 days of this posting, a copy of the signed petition, as well as a letter explaining the ever increasing irresponsibility by the owners, for the safety of the children, their families, and the other residents will be sent to Councilman Tom LaBonge, for Los Angeles Council District 4, Captain Sharyn I. Buck, Area Commanding Officer, North Hollywood Community Police Station, the Executive Board and the Board of Directors of the North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Russ Stanton, Editor, and John Arthur, Executive Editor of the Los Angeles Times, and Laurie Ochoa, Editor in Chief of the LA Weekly.”

I intend to honor the petition to the letter, and hope the management and owner will honor their responsibility to the families that reside at The Lofts at Noho Commons.

Thank you for everyone who was at the meeting last night, I especially would like to thank Rory Fitzpatrick from Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge's office, Captain Jon F. Peters and Senior Lead Officer John Catalano from the Los Angeles Police Department, North Hollywood Division, the representative from the Police Advisory Board, Scott McCarter of Redwood Partners, Inc., the representatives of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. and the residents of The Lofts at Noho Commons.

I ask for everyone to remain vigilant of their surroundings, and please keep one another updated on our online blog at http://loftsatnohocommons.blogspot.com/ Thank you.
