ANNOUNCEMENTS

Councilmember Tucker commented on the success of: (1) the Art Walk on June 24, with two more scheduled for July 30 and August 26, said organizers believe the number of artists will double next year, and noted that he and Mayor Pro Tempore Reviczky helped sponsor the event; (2) the Surfin’ Hermosa kick-off event at Gallery C on June 25, with over 400 attending, noting that the painted surfboards, currently on display at various locations in town, will be auctioned off at a September 9 event at Sangria, with the proceeds benefiting the Arts Foundation and the Education Foundation; and (3) the Tim Kelly statue fundraiser on June 27, which raised $12,000 for the statue to be cast in bronze, and he thanked those who attended, and who donated door prizes and auction items.

Mayor Pro Tempore Reviczky said the 4th of July holiday was much tamer than the two previous years, with no serious injuries or property damage, probably due to the increased fines on alcohol and public awareness on illegal fireworks, along with the efforts of the Hermosa Beach Police Department and L.A. County Sheriff deputies; said that the Ironman event did not cause a problem for the community, and he congratulated everyone for having a good time but acting responsibly.

Mayor Yoon said the Hermosa Beach Open would be held July 22-25, shown on national TV, would be the last opportunity before the Olympics to watch these fine athletes, and congratulated Casey and Matt for winning the Del Mar Open.

In response to a concern by Mayor Yoon about an ambulance shortage in the Fire Department that might need immediate action, City Manager Burrell said equipment was borrowed back and forth between the beach cities and there was no need to act immediately. He said at the next meeting, the Council will be presented with a list of studies for consideration and if a study regarding the use of private ambulances (which, if approved, would be ready about October) indicated its feasibility, there would be no need to replace an ambulance and if the ambulance was purchased at this time, the possibility of using private ambulance would be abandoned.

PROCLAMATIONS / PRESENTATIONS

PARKS AND RECREATION MONTH – JULY 2004

Mayor Yoon presented a proclamation to Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commissioner Howard Fishman and Chair Christina Hollander and thanked them for their diligent efforts. Chair Hollander thanked the Mayor for the proclamation and praised the City staff for their assistance; said that this had been a record year for participation in recreation programs and encouraged the public to get involved, particularly with Friends of Parks.

PRESENTATION BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE USA WEEKEND MOVIE

Carla Merriman, Executive Director of the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors’ Bureau, said that the USA cable network was featuring Hermosa Beach on an upcoming Thursday night during the breaks of their “Getting Ready for the Weekend Movie” and played the video for the Council and the audience. She said that the hosts of this show visited several restaurants, bars, and clubs in Hermosa Beach and said it was one of the best beach communities in California that had something for everyone.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

1. ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

There were no written communications this evening.

Coming forward at this time to address the Council were:

Stephanie Norbera and Annie Seawright
- Hermosa Beach, representing the Ironman event held on the Fourth of July, presented a check for $1,018.22 made payable to the Hermosa Beach Education Foundation; Kent Allen accepted on behalf of the foundation;
Mr. Duchoff
- Hermosa Beach, expressed concern about the possibility of vacating 30th Street; said safety issues regarding the signal at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Longfellow, brought before the Council two years ago with no action, should be discussed along with the possible closure of 30th Street.
Helene Frost
- Hermosa Beach, opposed the possible vacation of 30th Street; said at the present time, turning onto Longfellow or Gould after 3 p.m. was dangerous, and that closing the narrow street, along with the increased traffic resulting from the closure, would make it hard for emergency vehicles to access the neighborhood;
Robin Rogers
- Hermosa Beach, said she was also speaking for some of her neighbors and was worried about the current traffic on Longfellow, a narrow street; thought it was time the City prepared a study; said the City had postponed addressing safety because of upcoming changes which would impact the neighborhood, such as the Skecher facility; said the closure of 30th Street would increase the safety problems on Longfellow and other nearby streets;
Louie Conan
– Hermosa Beach, a Pacific Coast Highway business owner for 38 years, said the lack of parking enforcement of the two-hour limit was impacting his business because the patrons of three gyms kept the parking places between Pier Avenue and 190th Street filled except for the period from 3 to 7 p.m. (City Manager Burrell said that he would work with Mr. Conan to try to alleviate the problem); and
Louise Barnett
– Hermosa Beach, said customers from Debonair Cleaners and Midas were taking most of the parking spaces on Longfellow; asked if residential permit parking might be a possibility (City Manager Burrell asked Ms. Barnett to call him to discuss possible solutions).
