CALL TO ACTION or, no good deed goes unpunished

In an astounding turn of events--proving the adage that no good deed goes unpunished--the Mar Vista Community Council will consider a motion to REMOVE Steve Wallace as MVCC Planning and Land Use Management Committee Co Chair on Tuesday, May 12, 2015, 7 pm, Mar Vista Rec Center.

Steve Wallace advocated strongly--and some people apparently take exception to strong advocacy-- for saving the field space at Mark Twain just one week ago. In his speech, he recounted the thousands of man hours of work our hundreds of MVCC Zone 6 neighbors have done on a response to an inadequate Twain DEIR. The MVCC BOD then voted to support the community's motion and rejected the confusing conflicting motion.

Now, Steve's volunteer job is on the line.

For those of you who might not know, Steve has served Mar Vista ably, well, and fairly for a decade on our MVCC land use committee. He championed the reconstruction of the Venice Bl median; the opening of the new restaurants and businesses we all enjoy now in our town center; and he has worked diligently on land use issues large and small for US. When LAUSD wanted to put a bus operation-- wiping out 3 fields at Webster--Steve helped us save that space.

If you support saving field space for our kids, and you want to help Steve, email the MVCC BOD today and tell them to RETAIN Steve; SEND the official letter on the April 27, 2015 action to LAUSD's EIR consultant forthwith [as they should have already done]; and WORK  WITH our neighborhood in genuine partnership on planning issues in the future.
