I recently read the article about the plan to relocate Public Works to SMO in the near future. See - - https://www.surfsantamonica.com/ssm_site/the_lookout/news/News-2019/October- 2019/10_14_2019_City_to_Temporarily_Relocate_Parks_Maintenance_Staff_to_Airport.html In advance of the October 28, 2019 Airport Commission meeting mentioned in the article, I am politely requesting that the City fully evaluate better alternative locations that are not near homes and children in a residential neighborhood. Attached is one viable location to consider: 1. Site is located in an industrial area within SMO 2. Larger 87,000 sq ft site that can be partially or fully re-purposed for SM Public Works' temporary uses 3. Site is closer to the Santa Monica Airport Park Expansion area where the City will be building more park 4. Access for vehicles and equipment via non-residential streets 5. Parking (onsite and nearby) for Public Works Staff 1 6. Existing hangars that can be adaptively re-used to meet the temporary needs of Staff and/or to store and secure vehicles and equipment 7. All existing hangar leases on the site are month-to-month 8. Only 12 active aircraft are currently on site and can be re-positioned elsewhere at SMO Note: Based on a review of Santa Monica's publicly accessible information, available spaces at SMO are plentiful, with only 242 aircraft onsite. See the summary table below. The FAA also reports only 97 based aircraft at SMO, so the actual numbers are somewhere between 97 and 242. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to public discussion on October 28.

While moving a few operations around and diverting trucks across the airport south of the park is appreciated and may alleviate truck traffic concerns, it does not change the arrival and departure of 40 employees daily and more importantly does very little to solve issues of adjacency of the activity and appearance to a residential neighborhood. We know of no other location for active public works yard that is six blocks deep into a residential neighborhood. Although trucks may be leaving by another road and loading moved slightly further east, the activity, visual blight and noise remains and will be further echoed off the surrounding buildings. If you look at comparable buffers for this kind of activity, the landscape buffer for the MTA yard off Stewart Street which ranges from roughly 60' to 100' across provides a comparable example. The proposed single line of a few trees is not a buffer to an active Public Works yard directly adjacent to a residential neighborhood. The Public Works operation is not like the Fire Station designed as a residence that has a relatively quiet presence and is part of our neighborhood. An appropriately sized buffer between the residents and public works activity should be at least the distance from Clover Street to the back of the Maintenance shed. 1 We greatly appreciate the services and sustainable goals that are provided by Public Works however this project does not reflect community and planning principles that are part of our City's ethic. The appropriate buffer, for this change of use next to our homes is a buffer comparable to the distances of the landscape across from the homes on Exposition. An adequate landscape buffer behind the maintenance shed was previously stymied by the FAA control of the empty property along Clover Street but now that the City has gained access they have an opportunity to provide a long overdue buffer to their increasing activities. When we moved in, this corner of the airport was an unused open area with a Fire Station designed as a residence. The City over the years has added the facilities that are impacting and now degrading our neighborhood and now is the time to provide the appropriate buffer. While this landscaped area reduces some of the previously unused land that is now being claimed by Public Works, adequate area can be found elsewhere. If there is a process to run the trucks through the airport and adjust security and fencing then there is likely other Airport property or nearby sites to locate some of these loading activities. There is never a "temporary" to these projects especially when there remains a ten year period. Should the City choose not to find and fund a better site, this proposed Public Works operation or as much as possible needs to be repositioned and/or relocated so an adequate buffer as shown on the attached drawing can be provided to our neighborhood.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.

Mother Teresa said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” Point Foundation is a community of individuals making it possible for LGBTQ young people to achieve a higher education degree and avail themselves of greater opportunities in life.

To achieve our mission and help as many young people as possible, the Point family of scholars, alumni, board members, trustees, mentors and staff, must continue to change and evolve. “New” may not always result in “improved,” but stasis never leads to success. The Point family is a close-knit group embracing big aims and proud achievements.
