Reestablish Reward Offer in Murder Investigation of Anthony Iniquez
Supervisor Janice Hahn introduced this motion that reestablishes the $10,000 reward offered in exchange for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of Anthony Iniquez, who was shot on June 17, 2017 while riding his bicycle in the area of 252nd Street and Normandie Ave. in Harbor City, and succumbed to his injuries three days later.
Creating a Restorative Care Village Master Plan for the Harbor UCLA Campus
Harbor-UCLA Medical Center has not yet been identified as a potential location for a Restorative Care Village. As Restorative Care Villages are starting to open now at other county hospitals (like in the 4th District at Rancho Los Amigos), it’s time to look at future potential locations for more villages. The motion by Supervisor Holly Mitchell calls for a feasibility study of creating a Restorative Care Village at Harbor-UCLA and asks for a consultant to complete the study by June 1, 2023.
This item was approved unanimously.
Addressing the County’s Need for Additional Mental Health Treatment Beds
This motion Supervisor Sheila Kuehl directs the Department of Mental Health to look into purchasing a property (“Lake View Terrace”) that was formerly used for 150 residential treatment beds. Since Los Angeles County needs more mental health beds, this provides a unique opportunity to acquire a property that could be adapted relatively quickly and easily to bring more beds into the continuum of care.
