In a four-page report, City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo said six locations floated by City Councilman Mike Bonin as possible sites for homeless facilities would be be too expensive or otherwise unsuitable — and should be disregarded. Szabo recommended the city pursue outreach programs to help bring homeless people living in those parks indoors. In addition, Culver City officials are working on developing a homeless facility on property that is on L.A.'s Westside but owned by Culver City, Szabo said. Venice attorney Traci Park, who recently launched a campaign to unseat Bonin, described Szabo’s report as a waste of time and money. Park said she also remains concerned with the idea of converting the Dockweiler RV and Marina del Rey parking lots into homeless facilities.
