Eric Van Poppelen: HermosaCorps made a request to memorialize past winners of the Hermosa Open. He suggested hand-prints and signatures in cement tiles, possibly at Noble Park. The group wants to plan fundraising efforts. Possibly showcase in decade increments and have the ceremony in October. Commissioner Hollander requested that Mr. Van Poppelen present his proposal in writing in order to be placed on a future Commission agenda.
Steve Shore: Mr. Shore suggested that a donation box be added to the base of the Surfer’s Memorial Statue. The box would have a slot for monetary donations for maintenance of the Surfer’s Walk of Fame. Commissioner Fishman requested that Mr. Shore put his proposal in writing to be placed on a future Commission agenda.
