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.
