  • Into the Heart of Screenland Culver City, California
    INTO THE HEART OF SCREENLAND CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA AN INEXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION OF URBAN CONTENT THE CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION CENTER E FO H R T L A N N O I D T U A S T E RE INTERP THE HEART OF SCREENLAND “The Heart of Screenland” is the official city motto for Culver City, an incorporated city of 40,000 people in the midst of the megalopolis of Los Angeles. “All roads lead to Culver City,” its founder, Harry Culver, once said. All roads indeed. Culver built the city from scratch starting in 1913, selecting a location that was halfway between downtown Los Angeles and the beach community of Venice, at the crossroads of a now long-gone regional public trolley system. Culver City quickly became home to several movie studios, some of which disappeared, others which still dominate the scene. Hal Roach’s Laurel and Hardy comedies, shot on Main Street, captured the town in the 1920s, and Andy Griffith’s everytown of Mayberry was broadcast from the city’s backlots to screens across America. In the 1950s, the city modernized. Its original Main Street was upstaged by a new Culver Center shopping area, a few blocks west. The studios turned to television, and the 1950s became the 1960s. In the 1970s the studio backlots were filled in with housing and office parks, as homogenization flooded the Los Angeles basin, turning Culver CIty into part of the continuous urban suburb. In the 1990s, the city’s efforts to restore its identity and its downtown Into the Heart of Screenland: Culver City, California An Inexhaustive Investigation of Urban Content came together, beginning a rebirth of the Heart of Screenland.

Tormey, Ph.D., P.G. Hydrogeologist, Geochemist, & Civil Engineer Frequently Asked Questions Page 1 The Study Process 1. Why did PXP fund the Study? The Inglewood Oil Field Hydraulic Fracturing Study was funded by PXP as specified in the Settlement Agreement with the Natural Resources Defense Council, the City of Culver City, Mark Salkin, Concerned Citizens for South Central Los Angeles, Community Health Councils, and Citizens Coalition for a Safe Community. 2. If PXP paid for the study, how do we know that it was independent? PXP’s selection of the Independent Consultant was approved by the County of Los Angeles in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. In addition, the study was peer reviewed by two reviewers selected and compensated by the County of Los Angeles as required by the Settlement Agreement. The professional qualifications and independence of the reviewers were two of the criteria the County used in selecting and approving their involvement. The reviewers reviewed the draft Study (submitted 15 July 2012 in accordance with the Settlement Agreement), made comments, and then approved the final study prior to its publication (10 October 2012). In developing the Study, data collected from in-field measurements were used wherever possible in order to minimize the use of best professional judgment alone. 3. Is the Peer Reviewers’ analysis publicly available? Yes. The peer reviewers’ observations about the content of the Study are included as Appendix A of the Study.

    PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR 08/13/2020 City Council Special Meeting 1 From: Nancy Smith Sent: Saturday, August 8, 2020 3:55 PM To: Baker, Heather Subject: Culver City Inglewood Oil Field Attachments: IMG_5857.jpg Nancy Smith August 7, 2020 TO: Culver City Council Members: Thank you for hearing me today councilmembers. My name is Nancy Smith. I am a mineral owner and therefore a property owner with vested rights in Culver City. This property has been in my family since 1941 .( see attachment) I support the Inglewood Oil Field. The oil produced in Culver City supports my livelihood. I rely on this income to support my family. My mineral rights are vested property rights derived from the oilfield that are not yours to arbitrarily take away. You have not considered any of my rights or the damages you would owe to me in your process. Attempts to amortize my property rights are illegal when applied like this and I intend to defend myself to the fullest protection afforded by the law and will join the many others who stand similar to me to defend our rights. The City has spent millions of taxpayers dollars in failed attempts to marginalize the oil field, including the City’s draft EIR and Specific Plans, all of which have resulted in nothing but wasteful spending. This City has declared a state of fiscal emergency, and yet again you are risking millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars to ultimately fail again. That is grossly irresponsible governing. Culver City cannot afford more egregious spending. I pay taxes in this City and urge you to redirect your efforts and our hard-earned money to advance the numerous truly pressing needs such as homelessness, which face the City and its constituents.
