Flora Chau, Preservation Advocate for the Los Angeles Conservancy gave a brief background on the Conservancy and spoke regarding General Administration Item L, reaffirmation or rescinding of Leuzinger High School Measure CV Classroom Facilities Project as Categorically Exempt stating that several buildings have architectural historical value and demolishing more building will compromise the historical value of the campus.
