LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles City Council today will consider replacing the city's mandatory cleanups of homeless encampments with more voluntary, service-based protocols that are in compliance with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
The motion authored by Nithya Raman and Mike Bonin calls for the Bureau of Sanitation to develop standards for street engagement and hygiene services “with a preference for voluntary compliance whenever possible.''
The enhanced hygiene and sanitation services would:
-- occur on a regular schedule;
-- offer services including trash and bulky item pick-ups;
-- create designated areas for trash and waste to be placed for disposal and removal;
