My Dear Commissioners,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this email….

I’ve absolutely loved my time on the commission with you all, but I can no longer serve.

Please accept my resignation.

The Pier, and the restaurant business in general, has suffered greatly since Covid and now the Palisades Fire. We closed Rusty’s for good this week and my focus is now our first and last restaurant, The Albright, we are hopeful for a speedy recovery.

Praying that your families are well and safe. Thank you for your time and care (re)building our city.

In solidarity,
Greg Morena
