The library in the east side of Hawthorne on 120th and Venice at the address 2150 W. 120th St. Hawthorne, has been closed for 35 years. Katrina has been in meetings with Supervisor Holly Mitchell and Library Director Skye Patrick to followup with residents recently expressed interest in fixing it up. Councilwoman Manning hopes to continue making progress with her fellow council members to get this library back up and running!

Katrina Manning proposed giving the city employees 12/27 - 12/28 off for the holidays. Due to city business not being conducted during these days the city does not assume to lose any revenue for those two days. This was given a unanimous favorable vote!

Katrina Manning supports the Crossing Guard Pilot Program. Using All City Management Services can help establish safe routes to school, so that families have confidence that their child makes it to school safe and on time. Right now there is a high volume of parents driving their children to school and this program would even decrease traffic congestion around the school. Councilwoman Manning hopes to gain support for this program so we can implement the things necessary to get this program running to increase public safety immediately.

Our city needs more homeownership. Due to a rise in homelessness there is an increase in funds and grants available to combat this. This program was originally implemented pre-pandemic, but Katrina wants to bring it back as soon as possible. Councilwoman Manning, because of her experience as a real estate agent, she understands the importance of homeownership and making sure Hawthorne residents have the assistance they need through downpayment assistance programs. This is an extraordinary opportunity to support!
