HabariGani Neighbors...
We had the honor, priveledge and pleasure to have our Community's Neighborhood Council meeting professionally filmed by Lori Webster. As a journalism student at USC, she shared with me that she was gathering footage of Community Events for a competition she is enrolled in. I am very grateful to have made her freindship here at the LeimertParkBeat.com. And look forward to following her success with her current project and of her future endeavors in her journalism career.
On to the Meeting...
There were five (5) Board Members present.
We were warmly welcomed and offered breakfast.
From the handful of Neighbors that attended, the following questions and concerns were voiced during the Public Comment segment:
*Parking nusances contributed by suspected illegal commercial vehicle parking?
...was referred to Highway Patrol enforcement.
*The impacts we can expect from the current re-districting efforts under way?
...referred to Los Angeles City website.

...NO new news.
*Marlton Square Update, re: Demolition completion expectation and Planning Strategies for renewal?
...NO new news.

Particularly, Coliseum & Hillcrest Elementaries.

ITEM 11
...Reform Motions, not clear.
ITEM 12
...DONE Ethics Compliance Requirements, Members agree they are mandated to complete.

On that note the meeting was adjourned with the next meeting scheduled for November 5, 2011 @9:30a
This account from my view as a concerned "stakeholder" in the community was instructive as well as enlightening. I would continue to encourage more Neighbor's to get engaged in the quality of life issues that affect us all. Our individual involvement is directly tied to the lives our children are scheduled to inherit.
*May we know our past and honor it;engage the present and improve it; and imagine the future and forge it*
Thank You much, for your time and your attention.
