Subject: Heart Park Update - July 2007

Greetings everyone,
 
We're moving forward!  A couple weeks ago I gave a presentation to the Hermosa Beach City Council asking for their support for our vision of a wetland/park at the AES power plant site, if we can find a way to incentivize them to sell.  Well, as you can imagine, they're all for it!
 
So, this Tuesday, July 24th, 2007 at 7 p.m., the Hermosa Beach City Council is going to pass a resolution of support for our efforts, and ask that the other government officials in this area assist the State Coastal Conservancy and others in creating the waterfront park this area so desperately needs.  Here is a link to Tuesday's agenda.  Go to item 2.n. and click on the background material to read what it says.

Let it be known Hermosa Beach is the first city in the South Bay to pass a resolution supporting the results of the 2005 Redondo Beach advisory vote.  They deserve the appreciation of the entire South Bay! 
 
Please attend the Hermosa Beach City Council meeting this Tuesday to give thanks for their leadership.  The Council chambers are located on Valley Dr., just south of Peir Ave directly behind the Hermosa Library (plenty of parking).  It starts at 7:10 p.m.  Just being there shows you care.  If you feel inclined you'll have the opportunity to say a few words.  We are second on the agenda and you will be out of there by 7:30.
 
Stay tuned!  Next month I'll have some more good news.  And we hope to get resolutions of support from the other South Bay Cities.  Why wouldn't they?
