ANNOUNCEMENTS : Mayor Reviczky announced the death of Richard Greenwald, calling him a Hermosa Beach icon, a friend of the Community Center and a friend to all, who would be missed. He expressed sincere sympathy to his wife Thelma and their family, and said tonight's meeting would be adjourned in his memory.

Councilmember Edgerton reminded everyone of the 8th annual Beach Cities Toy Drive for needy children and of the gift-wrapping party at the Clark Building on Saturday, December 16, at 11 a.m. He then reported that he, with Councilmember Bowler and Mayor Reviczky, joined about 10,000 other elected officials at the League of Cities conference last week in Boston, noting there was a special segment on airplane noise and its effect on communities, which was attended by representatives of 20 cities. He wondered if Hermosa Beach would want to formally become part of the group, which would give the City access to what is happening across the country and the opportunity to share information, and said he would provide details about the committee to the City Manager.

Councilmember Dunbabin commented on (1) the success of the December 7 annual tree lighting event, which featured snow, a performance by the Hermosa Valley choir and Santa's arrival on a fire truck, noting that several community organizations donated to the event; (2) the success of the December 9 sand snowman contest, noting a record number of contestants and commending the Community Resources staff for its hard work and enthusiasm; (3) the fresh produce available at the Hermosa Beach Farmer's Market on Valley Drive every Friday from noon to 4 p.m.; and (4) the December 8 Easter Seals open house at the Community Center, commending the Kiwanis Club members for their efforts in renovating the room. She encouraged people to buy their Christmas trees at the Kiwanis Club tree lot.

Mayor Reviczky requested that the Council add two items to the agenda: (1) a request from the Navy for a Hermosa Beach port call in January, and (2) a request seeking support for a proposal for a future port call for the entire South Bay area.

 

Action : To add to the agenda a request from the U.S. Navy for a Hermosa Beach port call in January, based on the findings that the matter arose after the agenda was posted and required action prior to the next regular meeting.
