Sorry to miss the council meeting tonight. We are experiencing extraordinary difficulties over here.
Beach Cities Health District is gifting public property and amenities to a private corporation, same thing that ruined Redondo Beach in the first place. I consider this a “taking,” just as CenterCal was.
NEVER let this happen again. And watch out for “public/private” agreements. Good chance the “public” will get left out of any benefit from the deal.
Just want to say that if the Harbor Amenities Plan comes up, I ask you to keep Moonstone Park whole. It is the last remnant representing our historic Moonstone Beach. It helped make Redondo the popular destination from 1880s to 1920s, after which the opportunists started nibbling away until nothing was left.
I also ask that Seaside Lagoon be expanded, and not shared with other “amenities.” I respectfully suggest that our major swim complex be planned at Aviation. Seems the old pool was there, now maybe underground?
Our kids and other humans deserve this, and I think Nils has seen such wonders that he mentioned a while back. (My model community is Camarillo for quality of life facilities, as far as I’ve observed. They have all the good stuff.) Budget
Permanent homeless housing planned between the Beach Cities in a location(s) near transportation, stores, and service.
Aquatic Complex
Extend Summer hours at Wilderness Park to coincide with Daylight Savings time.
Re‐organize management for Wilderness Park decision‐making, putting someone in charge that is interested, and shares the public’s vision.
Remediate years of inattention.
Thank you again for all you do.
We are on the right track!
