#2 Contact the Mid-City West Community Council
Neighborhood Councils were mandated by the
new Los Angeles City Charter in June of 1999. They were created to give neighborhoods
a voice in policy making and influence over the way government does business.
They are charged with the responsibility of advising city departments, agencies,
boards and commissions on matters of importance to our community, with providing
input in the Mayor's budget process and with monitoring the delivery of city services.
As stated on the Council's website, "Mid City West is your voice
at City Hall and responds to and considers the myriad issues that impact and concern
our community ... both local and citywide."
Our experience is that Mid City West was far more responsive to the La Brea
Gateway developers than to the community, and were far more eager to be Bomel/J.
Martin's voice than ours. Through a process that was questionable at best (if
not hopelessly flawed), the Council voted in favor of the Gateway project!
Please contact the Mid-City West Community Council and express your continued
outrage at their decision. Request that the project be brought back for
real scrutiny and a full and transparent hearing:
Administrative Manager
Mid City West Community Council
543 N. Fairfax Avenue, Suite 106
Los Angeles, CA 90036
phone: (323) 651-3512
fax: (323).852-1407
email: jkleifield@midcitywest.org

# 3 Contact advocates from the entertainment industry!
The City Planning Commission has charged
us to bring to them LA City government officials who would testify that the site
is important for the entertainment industry and for LA's economy generally as
a light-industrial property, and should therefore not be rezoned.
To this end, we need advocates from the entertainment industry who could support,
encourage, and validate such testimony. Please contact people you know in the
entertainment industry and put them in touch with us at labreacoalition@gmail.com or (323) 939-2754.
NOTE: The issue here is not the buildings
currently inhabiting the property—the former KCOP facilities; we recognize
that those are, at best, aging, and, at worst, obsolete. We are talking about the property itself—and the sorts of entertainment industry-related
businesses that could make good use of it.
