ANNOUNCEMENTS : Mayor Reviczky read a commendation from the County of Los Angeles thanking the Hermosa Beach Fire Department for its assistance and valiant efforts to contain the December 21, 1999 Glendale fire. He then read the Fire Department's incident report concerning that fire, and presented the commendation to Fire Chief Russ Tingley. He also read a letter from the City of El Segundo thanking the Fire Department for helping to put out a fire on February 28, 2000 and for assisting with the investigation, and a letter from TRW expressing appreciation to the Fire Department for its response to a fire on April 3, 2000.

 

Mayor Reviczky announced that he would travel to Sacramento May 22, 2000 on behalf of Hermosa citizens to lobby the State legislators on several issues, including a return of some of the more than $1 million of property tax money that was shifted from the City to the State in 1992 -- a change that has continued over the last eight years. He said the State has projected a $13 billion surplus this year and that he would try to get some of those funds back. He said he would also meet with Senator Debra Bowen and Assemblyman George Nakano and present them with a proclamation from the South Bay Task Force -- an organization that represents the South Bay communities with regard to airport noise and expansion issues -- as well as a letter from the Hermosa Beach Airport Advisory Committee requesting their assistance.

 

Councilmember Oakes commented on the excellent opening night performance Friday, May 5, of "Greater Tuna," noting that it was wonderful to have such a great community theater that residents could walk to and see good theater. Councilmember Bowler concurred.

She thanked Community Resources staff members for their hard work and for the enthusiasm they have for all of the City events.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION :

 

(a) ORAL COMMUNICATIONS

 

Coming forward to address the Council at this time was:

Chris Howell - 2966 La Carlita, referred to a letter he had written to the Council concerning the Vasek Polak dealership site, saying he thought a hotel would be great but suggesting a master plan for the site in order to attract a higher quality development and to preclude the individual sale of the several properties that make up the site; referred to another letter he had given to Councilmembers requesting that the fire hydrant with higher water pressure, which was proposed to be relocated in front of his house, be installed elsewhere because of the ornamental garden at that particular location, including some unique Japanese trees.

 

Action: It was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to review the possibility of finding an alternate location for the fire hydrant.

 

Continuing to come forward to address the Council were:

Peter Tucker - 235 34th Street, referred to Consent Ordinance item 2(b); said the calculation of building height should be reconsidered since measuring to the top of the roof sheathing would increase the total building height by six to eight inches; said height should be measured to the top of the finished roof instead;
