This Saturday, June 4, the San Pedro neighborhood councils will hold a joint public forum about the proposed Bridge to Breakwater development. The councils are concerned about the density of the proposed development and wish to offer a counterproposal for a lower density plan. Everyone is invited to attend and participate. Time: 10 am. Place: the Sheraton Hotel on 6th St.
Monday, June 6, 10 am: The Budget and Finance Committee of the neighborhood council will meet at the Izaak Walton building, 3601 S. Gaffey. The goal is to put together a tentative budget for the fiscal year 2005 - 2006, which commences July 1, 2005. Last year, we didn't have a budget committee in operation until several months after the Governing Board was seated. This caused difficulties. For example, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment of the City of Los Angeles will not fund our activities until a budget has been passed by the Governing Board. This is the reason it is so desirable to have a budget in place as early as possible. The board can always modify or update the budget at a later time -- this is a routine matter that has been done numerous times over the past several years.
