Subject: City Council Meeting ITEM to add to agenda for 8/27/24 meeting - HOMELESS

SITUATION

EXTERNAL
I would like to add the HOMELESS SITUATION to the agenda for the meeting tonight. Several of my neighbors and I are going to attend the meeting tonight only to discuss the homeless. It's gotten out of control and is very dangerous.

I hope it's not too late to add this very important item to the agenda.

Thank you,

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them. SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors. Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration,

Subject: Boards & Commissions

EXTERNAL
Addressing the Lack of Diversity in Santa Monica’s Boards and Commissions Santa Monica has long prided itself on being a progressive and inclusive community. However, recent developments have highlighted a glaring issue that contradicts this image: the lack of diversity within our Boards and Commissions. This issue is further exacerbated by the latest ordinance that imposes an increased fee for pulling papers to run for City Council, creating additional barriers for potential candidates from diverse backgrounds.

The City of Santa Monica has established numerous Boards and Commissions to guide and advise decision-makers on a variety of topics. These bodies are meant to reflect the diverse voices of our community, yet they often fall short of this ideal. Despite efforts to increase representation, many of these advisory bodies remain predominantly composed of individuals from similar socio-economic and racial backgrounds. This lack of diversity not only undermines the credibility of these bodies but also limits the range of perspectives and solutions that can be brought to the table.

In recent years, the City has made strides towards advancing equity and inclusion. The development of the City’s first Citywide Equity Plan, set to be presented to the City Council for adoption in Summer 2024, is a step in the right direction. However, these efforts must be matched by tangible changes in the composition of our Boards and Commissions. It is not enough to merely acknowledge past harms and systemic barriers; we must actively work to dismantle them.

The recent ordinance that increases the fee associated with pulling papers to run for City Council is a prime example of a policy that disproportionately affects underrepresented communities. By raising the financial barrier to entry, we are effectively excluding potential candidates who may not have the means to afford these fees. This move contradicts the City’s stated commitment to justice, equity, and diversity.

If we are to create a truly inclusive community, we must ensure that all residents have an equal opportunity to participate in the democratic process.

It is imperative that the City Council revisits this ordinance and considers the broader implications of such policies. We must also implement measures to actively recruit and support candidates from diverse backgrounds for our Boards and Commissions. This includes providing financial assistance, mentorship programs, and outreach initiatives to ensure that all voices are heard and represented.

Santa Monica has the potential to be a leader in equity and inclusion, but only if we are willing to confront and address the systemic barriers that persist within our community. Let us commit to creating a more diverse and inclusive future for all residents.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Think about how it will affect your immediate and the wider areas!! For instance: the airspace above Studio City is already quite crisscrossed and congested. Particulate pollutants (from low flying aircraft) rain down on us, and along with noise is a growing issue. Not to mention safety hazards of flying at low elevations near/over the Santa Monica mountains…
PLEASE, give this serious consideration! Thank you, Carol Elkind, Studio City Sent from my iPad

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

Residents of the San Fernando Valley, in particular, have been fighting against noise and air pollution created by Van Nuys and Burbank airports, who’s circular flight paths create a literal vortex over our neighborhoods, and have been decimating our quality of life and the health of our families for years. WE CANNOT TAKE MORE NOISE AND LOW FLYING AIRCRAFT OF ANY KIND!!!

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

URGENT! HELP STOP FLYING TAXIS!
Santa Monica Airport (SMO) wants to convert the airport to accommodate Air Taxis.What happens in Santa Monica will not stay in Santa Monica! One of the first routes will be to BUR, over the Santa Monica mountains and your neighborhood soon! SMO must get approval for flying taxis from Santa Monica City Council. We need you to tell them NO! Archer has announced the launch of their Air Taxis above Los Angeles in 2026, scaling up by the 2028 Olympics! See map below. FLYING TAXIS will fly at extremely low altitudes (as low as 400 feet Above Ground Level).

The aviation industry plans to flood the skies with Air Taxis. The only way to stop them NOW is with your very vocal and visible OPPOSITION. Our skies are already far too congested! We must stop this NOW before air taxis get a home base at SMO. Otherwise, they will be here to stay! Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
This action will affect the well being of the population of the San Fernando Valley as SM to Burbank implements flying taxis. Health issues, air pollution issues , fire issues, wildlife issues, noise pollution, real estate values. To name a few.

Our neighborhoods are not recreational playgrounds for elitist systems that have no benefit to the collective. My God, we already have heavy traffic on the ground, we do not now need it above our heads. The incorrectly zoned Santa Monica airport needs to close sooner than later and many advocates are working towards that as aviation continues to disrupt the collective well-being. BTW did you see the petition that the City of Malibu sent to the FAA? Why are rogue air pilots taking over local communities with non-stop noise, fuel, and lead pollution? Did we volunteer our communities as playgrounds for hyper capitalism of an inequitable paper currency?!

Stop the tourism disruptions in local SoCal communities! The quality of life is in severe decline because of hyper tech systems that always think they know what can make local communities better when they are actually just causing us disruptions. I don't need to look out my bedroom window to see the loud small plane flying banners to promote nonsense to my community. We gave you on the ground billboards, stop the hyper marketing of BS.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. My home near Burbank airport is already hugely impacted by the departing flight path out of Burbank Airport, overflights from Van Nuys Airport, and helicopters both civilian and military transiting through the Cahuenga Pass between Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Additional low flying air traffic in this already congested and tormenting area will make it unlivable!

The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors. Why would anyone want the privacy of their home invaded by low flying aircraft, let alone the safety? Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"

EXTERNAL
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration!

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
Everything flies over West Studio City: LAPD helicopters back and forth all day and night to VNY, tour helicopters returning to BUR all day long, every jet departing BUR, many private jets, small aircraft, and news copters departing and returning to VNY. It’s ridiculous how this neighborhood is under a major air-traffic intersection. There is never a quiet moment. And now you want to allow annoying air taxis flying over this neighborhood to add to this cacophony?!
