LA CITY CLERK/ CD1 ELECTION SABOTAGE ATTEMPT ON LINCOLN HEIGHTS INTEL 3/16-3/26/2021 *FOR THE RECORD

UPDATED! FULL HISTORY OF ALL EMAILS BETWEEN
LA CITY CLERK & LINCOLN HEIGHTS INTEL 3/16-4/6/2021
*FOR THE RECORD

RE: Lincoln Heights Intel community org status being revoked Two weeks before election.

A premeditated sabotage attempt to block our community org status to intercept Lincoln Hts Intel "membership cards" aka "letters" from stakeholders who don't live in Lincoln Heights. Particularly our allies in bhts, hlp , chinatown, cypress , el sereno, elysian valley and those displaced from LHTS. Which we are entitled to provide stakeholdership to. Just like any church , or alumni assoc, or community center. We meet the criteria solid but mysteriously are being blocked by those in power.

synopsis: CD1 is corroborating with the city clerk to manipulate the lhts 2021 council elections.

“Council District 1” conspires to obstruct Lincoln Heights Intel Slate’s campaign. Specifically, our community Stakeholder votes aka "community interest group/ membership cards/ "Letter havers" are being obstructed. The City Clerk contacted LHI headquarters stating that “Council District 1” ( via multiple team cedillo members aka "shadow lobbyists" who are also current Neighborhood Council members / and their affiliates filed complaints; that Lincoln Heights Intel is a false “Community Organization”, does not qualify and fails to meet the criteria detailed in LAMC 22.801.1.(c). and according to their rusty broke down intellegence gathering mehanisms we "pay people for votes". However, one month ago, Lincoln Heights Intel was approved by the City Clerk as a verified community organization because it met all of the criteria by Law. The city clerk is inventing criteria that does not exist in the ordinance in order to block the community from voting. After we disproved one false claim, the city clerk then presented a new invented one. Then we disprove the next claim and the next... Elected public officials conspiring with paid city employees to dictate the outcome of a local election is illegal. The city is afraid of our Community Interest stakeholder votes (votes from members of our org/ ALLIES who don’t live in Lincoln Hts. ) and now they've stripped us of our Community Org credentials so our non LHTS voters can't get a ballot. The city and the Team Cedillo shadow lobbyists and current NC members fabricated lies that we “pay people for Votes” and we “dont operate at a real address”. These claims we break down and annihilate over and over again in this email history attached.

Lincoln Heights Intel is a community based organization run by the People with the sole objective of identifying and revealing the abuse of power and corruption threatening the health, safety and welfare of the People of Lincoln Heights 90031. The City of LA and CD1 are the focus of our research.

To: Michael Lektorich <michael.lektorich@lacity.org>

Hi Michael,

Could you clarify what the definition of a community organization is, and why Lincoln Heights Intel is ineligible?

Through this community org, stakeholders have been connected to essential information and resources which have helped them stay housed, advocate against environmental racism, strengthen communal organization to oppose displacement, deepen their understanding of the history of the area and how it impacts the present day issues of Lincoln Heights. All of these organizing activities, grounded in a commitment to the community, seem to clearly establish eligibility.

In the interest of transparency, will you share a list of the organizations considered eligible or non-eligible?

All best, x

Hello,

I was reviewing your Vote-By-Mail application for the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council. Your application did not have all of the documentation needed to verify stakeholder status. Lincoln Heights Intel does not meet the definition of a Community Organization. If you live, work, own property or have community interest within Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council you are eligible to vote in the election.

I am happy to work with you on what documents can verify your stakeholder status.

Please let me know if you have questions. Thank you.

To: <R. M.>

Hello Mr. R.M (name changed for security),

I hope you are doing well, also. Our office received numerous complaints regarding Lincoln Heights Intel and asked us to investigate whether said organization qualified under the amended definition. After the communication (Lincoln Heights Intel rep) had with Ms. McDade, an IP address was initially provided. Two residence addresses were ultimately provided and a determination was made that residential addresses fell outside what the intent of the ordinance is.

Further, Ms. McDade is not required to provide a comprehensive list of documents or elicit information from you that would qualify your organization. Rather, that information should have been readily provided. Here, it was not.

At this time, no further documentation is necessary as no additional action will be taken.

Respectfully,

Sofia Anguiano

Good afternoon Sofia,

I hope this email finds you doing well. I am a member of the Lincoln Heights Intel organization and upset with the ruling against our organization as not meeting the City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c). We had a meeting via zoom discussing your email to our organization and we feel that we are being wrongfully being denied to participate in our Neighborhood Council.

In your statement below:

"Based on your communication with Ms. McDade and the documentation you have provided, your organization does not qualify as a Community Organization as described above. As Ms. McDade has explained to you via emails and phone calls on 3/16 and 3/19, your offer of an IP address or a social media presence (via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) is insufficient under the plain meaning and intent of the City’s Administrative Code. The residential street addresses you provided do not remedy the matter because as you stated during your call with Ms. McDade on March 18, your organization does not in the plain meaning of “physical street address”, have a street address where activities and operations occur."

Ms. Dade and you make no mention of our address xxx E ave 32, Los Angeles Ca, 90031 that was provided to Ms. Dade and it is also on our id and organization's letter. Our members have met at the address for meetings and it is also where we organize all our events, email blast, zoom meetings, and flyer distribution. We have been using this address for well over a year as required by City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c).

Ms. Dade never requested any documents from Lincoln Heights Intel via phone or email to meet City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c). We started to submit our Facebook page and other items just to prove we had an ongoing benefit and events but were never submitted as proof of our physical address. You can see that our IDs and Organization Letter have the physical address that we are submitting within our NC district to meet City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c) all our documents pre-date any discussion with MS.Dade yet her determination to deny is only based on a phone call with our outreach staff that was not very well aware of City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c).

I would like to request the following:

What documents do we have to send in to prove we meet any of the requirements in the City? Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c).?

Note: Ms. Dade never gave us a request via phone or email on this important question to verify. The city clerk does not even have a required list of documents to qualify as a community organization other than City Administrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c) that states what qualifies but no whats need to be verified.

R. M. and Family

To whom it may concern,

I applied for my Lincoln heights Neighborhood Council election ballot and on the city clerk portal my account showed me processed and now it states pending information. I was told by the city clerk that my ballot was approved and I received an official email from the city clerk that my ballot was coming on 3/14/2021.

I called our community group Lincoln Heights Intel and they informed me that the city clerk is trying to disqualify our community group.

Our community group Lincoln Heights Intel has been around for over 1 1/2 ago and according to the city clerk rule book, the organization has to be in the district for at least 1 year which they have been. They also have been at the same address xxx E Ave 32 for 1 1/2 years. I know this because I pick up flyers and we sometimes meet up at the address. We currently don't meet up in person at the address due to COVID-19 and the Mayor COVID-19 order but we did so regularly.

I want to understand more about why the city clerk is trying to disqualify our community organization during the election when the city clerk approved my application on Feb 25, 2021, at 2:15 pm? Keep in mind that I was approved with the letter from Lincoln Heights Intel and my ID membership from Lincoln Heights Intel. Now a few days later my application is pending Information. How did I get approved the first time?

I would like an answer.

Dear Sophia,

Kindly understand. The issue is, there is a misunderstanding on your part - as you have come to the conclusion that the org is an internet entity, and you strictly define it as such. On the contrary. This is a human operation of real life and blood community members working together all day everyday. what you would call a “grassroots org”. I don't know if you're familiar with those but they constitute some of the most legitimate orgs because they’re real community operations created to make up for the cities neglect of the people in underserved neighborhoods. The internet part was just to give you a quantifiable time stamp as evidence of how long we’ve been in action because its documented photographically there for you to see the physical activities we perform in the Field. you've already come to a conclusion without actually investigating what our organization is and does.

This is the last time I personally will be contacting you. City clerk and the DA’s office will be contacted by someone else next.

All my best,

Outreach Coordinator,

Lincoln Heights Intel

Good morning (*name),

At this time, you have provided an insufficient showing that Lincoln Intel is a Community Based Organization with a physical street address consistent with the intent of the ordinance. A stakeholder’s relationship established by a social media following is not considered to qualify as a member of an organization.

No additional action will be taken regarding this matter.

Dear Sophia,

Good evening,

I had clearly laid out the address and location role of our org Before I ever even spoke to Renee on the undocumented telephone call. I did not call Renee until a day after I sent a written document (3/17) explaining the role of the org. Because I knew The phone call was a move by the nc admin to have an intentional OFF RECORD dialogue. and bingo, here we are. My initial email (3/16) was in response to a claim that we don't qualify because we're not a 501c3. We didn't talk on the phone until 3/18. And the claims made regarding what I said during a telephone call make no sense, because I already described the operations before we even talked in a written statement dated 3/17 to contest the 501c3 claim. and after the phone call she decided to move on to a new complaint to find a reason off the record to disqualify us (address) . But I had already written what we do in the statement which is on the record.

To quote your last email:

"As Ms. McDade has explained to you via emails and phone calls on 3/16 and 3/19, your offer of an IP address or a social media presence (via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) is insufficient "

(Mcdade's 3/16 email was about 501c3, nothing about address. I did not call her. Instead I wrote a letter describing our operation on 3/17 which is attached below. On the single phone call we had on 3/18, the only thing pertaining to address was her saying that even during covid, I need to have people here at social events regardless. And I said, Since covid, we do our actions at street locations verifiable with flyers and social media invitations and documentations and before covid we physically were meeting at that office. and for now we do everything plus zoom.)

"The residential street addresses you provided do not remedy the matter because as you stated during your call with Ms. McDade on March 18, your organization does not in the plain meaning of “physical street address”, have a street address where activities and operations occur."

(Regardless of whatMcdade claims I did or didn't say on the off the record Phone Call- On my letter written the day before, I did INDEED outline the activities and operations at our address. So this is documented and outlined in my letter before any phone conversation ever happened. which I've attached below.)

Before I ever even engaged in a telephone call with Rene Mcdade- I replied to her first email claiming we needed to be a 501c3. The first email, Date: Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 11:14 AM was a claim from Renee stating we had to be a 501c3 and for me to CALL her . I did not call her. Instead, I wrote her.

Can you point out where in this statement am I saying that we don't organize from the address- that activities and operations do not occur:

"The city clerk approved our stakeholdership back on Feb 12. we don't solicit donations were a true community org that operates a fledgling information network for free to serve the people . and does all of our work for 12 hrs a day for absolutely free for the people. we have a venmo where a couple people donated a nominal donation for when we handed out hot cup of Noodle soup to the unhoused to cover plastic spoons and clementine oranges.. we bought some trash bags and rubber gloves at the dollar store for two community clean up events at flat top this year. we printed xeroxed flyers for tenants rights with about $2 worth of printer paper. If the city wants to call us a for profit entity, we're going to have to take the LAMC sec. 22.801.1 (c) and cross reference it with Joy Atkinson's 2018 "Commission recommendation on Council File Number 18-0467 Reform B Substantial and Ongoing Participation of the Community Interest Stakeholder" . Actually, 501c3 status is not required, nor are the moralistic categories of "faith group""religious education". theres also "neighborhood Assn., Arts Assn, Cultural club, Environmental group, service organization, or "community org non profit". we are you bread an butter community center old school operation thats a labor of love..."

Hi Reene,

"As you confirmed during our telephone conversation, Lincoln Heights Intel does not organize events or activities at the addresses located at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031."

I never confirmed that we lincoln heights intel do not organize events and activities at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031. In fact we DO both organize, control and manufacture all of our flyer and zoom meetings at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031. Now due to COIVD-19, we meet on zoom and all zoom meetings are controlled and produced at both addresses, or we meet within the boundaries within the Lincoln Heights council district. I feel that you have misunderstood what we discussed in our last phone call. I am asking for a meeting to be set up between lincoln heights intel and city clerk to straighten out the discrepancies and misunderstanding. We DO indeed have verifiable documents to support every requirement by section 22.801.1(C).

Thank you for reading this, and I hope you can understand and read my initial 3/17 letter which is attached in body here below and see how I clearly described our operations - a document that supercedes what any off record 3/18 after the matter telephone call purports to claim.

Yours,

Good morning (*name),

My name is Sofia Anguiano and I am the Assistant Chief of Elections. I am in receipt of your email dated March 23, 2021 regarding Lincoln Heights Intel Community Org and am responding on Ms. Wolcott's behalf.

As you noted, the Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance, effective October 16, 2020, amending the Administrative Code to clarify who may qualify as a Community Interest Stakeholder.

A Community Interest Stakeholder is an individual who is a member of, or participates in, a Community Organization defined as “an entity that has continuously maintained a physical street address within the boundaries of the neighborhood council for not less than one year, and that performs ongoing and verifiable activities and operations that confer some benefit on the community within the boundaries of the neighborhood council.” City Admininistrative Code Section 22.801.1(b) & (c).

The City Clerk is authorized to establish policies to implement and administer the Community Interest Stakeholder ordinance (Admin. Code Section 22.801.1(e)), and is authorized to promulgate any election procedure, rule, regulation, or issue any directive or moratorium necessary for its administration of a Neighborhood Council election (Administrative Code Section 20.36(c)).

Based on your communication with Ms. McDade and the documentation you have provided, your organization does not qualify as a Community Organization as described above. As Ms. McDade has explained to you via emails and phone calls on 3/16 and 3/19, your offer of an IP address or a social media presence (via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter) is insufficient under the plain meaning and intent of the City’s Administrative Code. The residential street addresses you provided do not remedy the matter because as you stated during your call with Ms. McDade on March 18, your organization does not in the plain meaning of “physical street address”, have a street address where activities and operations occur.

Upon learning of your organization’s (Lincoln Heights Intel) issuance of “membership cards” for voting in the Lincoln Heights NC elections, Ms. McDade reached out to you and made a determination, which has not wavered. There was no “rule change” two weeks before the election.

We understand that you have qualified as a candidate for the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council elections due to your residential status within the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council's boundaries. However, individuals claiming membership with Lincoln Heights Intel may not vote in the election unless they have a basis to participate independent of their social media relationship with your organization.

Respectfully,
Sofia Anguiano

Dear Holly,

My name is (*name) of Lincoln Heights Intel Community org. Due to the time restraints of the current Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council election, I am reaching out to you, in hopes to address serious discrepancies in an urgent manner.

Renee McDade, the LA City Clerk NC Admin facilitating this process, has made the determination to withdraw our community organization status, without due process nor a declaration of findings that can be sustained. I have included an email thread of my short email history with Renee McDade. The urgency of the matter at hand is being disregard as well as due process, and has failed to full our requests for exactly what "authorized qualifying criteria" exists beyond the ordinance . Rule changes were enacted on our community group, two weeks before election day; this in itself is catastrophic to any campaign. Additionally, McDade has not been cooperative, as she refuses to disclose what documents are needed from us in order to relieve the inconsistent discrepancies she claims exist.

Specifically, McDade's claims changed multiple times, and none of these claims are in LAMC 22.801.1. Her initial claim,was that of us not meeting the necessary requirements to be a community org because we're not a 501c3. I kindly asked her to show me where in the ordinance it says 501c3; She did not respond. I was then urged to engage in a phone call with her, which I did not like, as all communication and directions should be in writing to keep record of. In this phone call, she was very disoriented and confused; I thought she was a new employee. One day later, she introduced a new claim against us, limiting the examples of community organization to only one: community based nonprofit 501c3.I sent her multiple qualifying lists from DONE and BONC; I asked her to identify which exact comunity org "examples" qualify and I received no response. The final claim was that of, not having physical in person events of a group of 2,500 stakeholder/ members at my personal apartment during covid; I do not need to spell out how irrational that claim is. Ultimately, McDade’s decisions are biased, unfounded, and discriminatory.

Our organization is verifiable by any and all standards outlined in LAMC 22.801.1. We are more than happy to provide any and all verifications needed; we have been cooperative from the beginning of this process. It is alarming to see how an official city clerk NC Admin conducts their duties and we expect their actions and decisions to be corrected and made right. I am reaching out to you, in hopes of amending this very serious issue of obstruction of due process and interference that Mcdade has persued at the behest of a current NC member's dubious claims. I am reaching out to you for a dialoge in the form of a zoom meeting or conversation so we can address any issues the NC Admin has illuminated and clarify how our qualifications are legitimate under LAMC 22.801.1.

Kindly,

Outreach Coordinator,

Lincoln Heights Intel

It has come to our attention that this organization may not meet the requirements of a community organization as defined by Section 22.801.1 (c) in the Los Angeles Administrative Code.

Can you please give me a call at your earliest convenience so we may discuss this? I can be reached at (213) 675-7303.

Dear Renee,

Thank you for the email. I would like to dialogue about the stakeholder status of the community based organization that was previously approved when submitted around 2/12/21 I believe. My phone charger is broken, but I want to provide facts on Lincoln Heights Intel a Lincoln Heights to the Bone tried and true org that has never ventured out of the council boundary area as evidenced by our social media . I want to be explicit and I hope to illuminate and demystify any uncertainties posited by CD-1 and any affiliates re stakeholder qualifications of LINCOLN HEIGHTS INTEL.

LAMC Section 22.801.1(c) is a 6.5 month old ordinance derived from David Ryu's 2018 motion for revising NCs that's missing about 95% of its original content. On 8/25/2020, Mike Feuer passed CF 18-0467 (CFMS) ORD 18-6761 "Neighborhood Council System Reforms"

The language used is intentionally vague and lack a definitive criteria for objective interpretation of the terminolologies in the legal sense. To understand this ordinance one must read the original motion and the 100 council Files attached to CFMS 18-0467 to frame the context and use of language being massacred. 100 Council files later and we are left with two poorly written ordinances that look nothing like Ryu's 2018 motion. After gleaning hundreds of pages of council stakeholder definitions and variations on the Stakeholder status ordinance that reads like a shampoo bottle. Bonc President Joy Atkinson's commission recommendation letter is all over the board as well. we have attached it as a supplement . We must mention that Ryu's original motion was written by a man who failed to claim and disclose a large Lincoln Heights income property on his form 700 at that time.

ABOUT LINCOLN HEIGHTS INTEL COMMUNITY NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION/ EDUCATION ORG est. 9/19 /2019 in 90031 LAMC sec. 22.801.1(c)

Lincoln Heights Intel community org began exactly 1.5 years ago as timestamped on the internet the exact date is 9/19/2019 on both facebook and Instagram platforms and is and has always and continuously maintaines a physical street address within the nc boundaries for well over a year. .We're a not for profit community organization according to LAMC Section 22.801.1(c) that serves the people of LINCOLN HEIGHTS 90031 Boundary map areas We're a volunteer community service org that has consistently and continuously maintained a physical street address in the LHTS boundary zone - actually 2 street addresses xxx Griffin ave 90031 (For 11 years) and xxx E. ave 32 90031 for over one year. We have consistently written letters and contributed to council files from this address. this is where we fly a flag . we've collected over 3,700 local statements and signatures against ave 34. We maintain an archive in our Vast stories case file vault .We are the most active community organization within the community boundary when it comes to dealing with city hall land use and zoning issues hands down. Our community based org is the education / communication / minister of information news and data beacon. and a community news service to inform the people for their survival.We do interviews, are in published articles and videos and documentaries. we exposed a CPC racist land use scandal which you can view on our you tube, Any person contesting our stakeholdership is most likely paid by USC, one of CD1's opposition research Pacs or is a current LHNC boardmember guilty of code of conduct violations who is also a verified "team Cedillo "member which is a form of shadow lobbying.

We want to mention- re equity and accessibility, our community is being excluded from this election- one major civil rights violation is that DONE's social media platform excludes over 80% of our community stakeholders who speak spanish and chinese. The site site is non navigatable and inequitable. No matter how much we fight, the city and LHNC refuse to publish agendas in spanish or hire translators. Now they don't even show up. for the past year. It's unconstitutional to require a physical address as proof of stakeholdership. Our unhoused have pretty much no way to vote in this election let alone access to a phone that uploads pdfs with no electricity or wifi. The requirements to vote just logistically are not the means of communication for over half of the 39k people. stakeholders must speak english and have internet and know how to upload a lease or id card to an inequitable english navigation portal which also then requires and email an email address and an account. . . the city clerk approved our stakeholdership back on Feb 12. we dont solicit donations because were not politicians. were a true community org that operates a fledgling information network for free to serve the people . and does all of our work for 12 hrs a day for absulutely free for the people. we have a venmo where a couple people donated a nominal donation for when we handed out hot cup of Noodle soup to the unhoused to cover plastic spoons and clementine oranges.. we bought some trash bags and rubber gloves at the dollar store for two community clean up events at flat top this year. we printed xeroxed flyers for tenants rights with about $2 worth of printer paper. If the city wants to call us a for profit entity, we're going to have to take the LAMC sec. 22.801.1 (c) and cross reference it with Joy Atkinson's 2018 "Commission recommendation on Council File Number 18-0467 Reform B Substantial and Ongoing Participation of the Community Interest Stakeholder" . Actually, 501c3 status is not required, nor are the moralistic categories of "faith group""religious education". theres also "neighborhood Assn., Arts Assn, Cultural club, Environmental group, service organization, or "community org non profit". we are you bread an butter community center old school operation thats a labor of love.

The thing is, we have had to step up actually and run for every seat on this council election because Done and empower LA have allowed a criminal enterprise to sideline and immobilize the 90031 political theatre for the past year and hide minutes and agendas to obfuscate attendance records. Our community organization basically drew attention to the corruption and exclusionary land use policy that is perpetuated by systemic racism and continues the trajectory of the past all fueled by city planning the cpc and developer influence. If it was up to us, we would eliminate the NC budget and do it how we've been doing it the whole time. Unpolluted. The People deserve power and self determination and respect, they dont want to persuade, they want Justice and action .. the bandaid on the massive hemmorage is that NC's dont have to fill a form 700. It should be a crime to not abstain or have conflict of interest and manipulate land use in your favor.

There are many groups that can advocate for our credibility here in Lincoln Heights and beyond. please message Lincoln Heights youth art center, northeast trees, boys and girls club, inner city struggle, kqbh, knock la, peoplespantryLA, saveavenue34, FROG, Buried Under the Blue, La tenants union, Centro cso, Eastside Leads, St vincent de paul, Cypress park job center, occidental college newspaper, lincoln heights library, In Liberty and Justice for all.

Let us know if you have any more questions or need to cross reference any supporting data or wish to inquire deeper in to our community org nonprofit stakeholder Vitals. I'll try and call in the AM just to follow up. Thank you for reading this.

Dear Renee,

As per our phone conversation earlier today (March 18) , I reviewed the ordinance. You stated that Lincoln Heights Intel must be a registered 501c3 to qualify as a "Community Organization"

I have three questions:

1. Can you show me in the ordinance where it states that it must be a "non profit" or a 501c3 as per Section 22.801.1 (c)

2. Can you send me a list of All "Examples" that a "community Organization" "may include" as per Section 22.801.1 (c) (2)

3. Can you send me a list of documents we must provide to meet the requirements

Thank You!

Outreach Coordinator,

Lincoln Heights Intel

Dear Renee,

This second email is a supplement to the one I just sent. I just wanted to highlight a few key items.

Item #1: The subject line and content of your initial email refers to us as "Lincoln Heights Intel Community Based Nonprofit Organization". We have never used that name to describe our Community Organization

"I would like to speak with you concerning a request we received from Council District 1 regarding Lincoln Heights Intel Community-Based Nonprofit Organization."

"It has come to our attention that this organization may not meet the requirements of a community organization as defined by Section 22.801.1 (c) in the Los Angeles Administrative Code."

Item #2: Here is the letter we sent that was approved by the city clerk on February 16th at the beginning of the election.We Identify ourselves as a "community Organization", and state that we are a "non-profit organization" because we are not a "for Profit entity" and are non profit in the true sense we do not make money or profit or seek to profit.

The city clerk approved us on Feb 16 because we met the requirements. A Complaint filed one month later at the crucial point in our campaign is bringing a nonexistent 501c3 requirement that does not exist in the ordinance . Is it policy for the city to let complaintants derail/obstuct/ block valid city clerk approved community Orgs in the middle of their campaigns by introducing new mandatory criteria thats not in the ordinance?

Item #3
Lincoln Heights NC currently has this list on its website site of "examples" of Community Organations:

Item#4
Joy Atkinson Of BONC Has this List of "community organization" examples on her Commission Reccomendation Report for CF 18-0467

Thank You!

Good afternoon (*name),

It was nice speaking with you yesterday.

As you confirmed during our telephone conversation, Lincoln Heights Intel does not organize events or activities at the addresses located at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031.

As defined by Section 22.801.1 (c) in the Los Angeles Administrative Code, “For the purposes of this section a “Community Organization” is an entity that has continuously maintained a physical street address within the boundaries of the neighborhood council for not less than one year, and that performs ongoing and verifiable activities and operations that confer some benefit on the community within the boundaries of the NC.

We are unable to accept letters or membership cards from Lincoln Heights Intel as it does not meet the requirements of a community organization. Stakeholders who submit this documentation to prove they are a community interest stakeholder in Lincoln Heights will be informed that the organization does not meet the requirements necessary to support their stakeholder claim.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you.

Hi Reene,

I never confirmed that we lincoln heights intel do not organize events and activities at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031. In fact we DO both organize, control and manufacture all of our flyer and zoom meetings at xxx Griffin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90031 or xxx E. Avenue 32, Los Angeles, CA 90031. Now due to COIVD-19, we meet on zoom and all zoom meetings are controlled and produced at both addresses, or we meet within the boundaries within the Lincoln Heights council district. I feel that you have misunderstood what we discussed in our last phone call. I am asking for a meeting to be set up between lincoln heights intel and city clerk to straighten out the discrepancies and misunderstanding. We DO indeed have verifiable documents to support every requirement by section 22.801.1(C).

Reminder this election is time sensitive and this requires immediate attention.

Thank you.

Outreach Coordinator,

Lincoln Heights Intel
