Rejecting a staff recommendation and warnings from the City Attorney's Office, a board committee of LACERS -- the city's civilian pension fund -- voted 2-1 Tuesday to allow unions to pay back the costs of the early retirement incentive program (ERIP) for 2,400 of its members over 15 years -- instead of five. The issue -- which threatens to blow up a deal the mayor and City Council offered the Coalition of City Unions -- now goes to the full LACERS board and ultimately the Council. |

The Rings of Saturn are proud to present the Master Plan for a transformation of the Saturn campus from a hot, asphalt expanse into a beautiful, green, park-like setting featuring a Forest, Meadow, Amphitheater, Walking Path, as well as Edible, Reading and Native Gardens. The Saturn Master Plan would not have been possible without the invaluable input from parents, teachers and neighbors at our Community Planning Sessions, the tireless leadership of Rogerio Carvalheiro, and the pro bono guidance of our amazing Advisory Committee: Rogerio is working pro bono to help pland and design the transformation of Saturn's campus. Rogerio's portfolio of projects include the renovation of the Getty Villa and Los Angeles' Union Station, and the new SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.

As Pico NC welcomed the new Dept. of Neighborhood Empowerment (D.O.N.E.) representative, Grayce Liu, to the general board meeting last Wednesday night, she complimented the group on the 'highly functional' status that they have attained. She was impressed with their ability to have rigorous debate while maintaining a respectful and civil exchange. She also expressed how impressed D.O.N.E. is with their website and recently launched association website empowerment program (including neighborsunited.net!). In fact, D.O.N.E. is planning to redo their own website and will use PICO NC as a model! Last but not least, they have also looked over Pico NC's new bylaws and are equally impressed. Way to go web folks and bylaws committee! Scott McNeely, president of the Pico NC, stated, "I am truly proud of what we've accomplished in the last 2-1/2 years and look forward to our continued growth of the organization, empowerment of our neighborhood associations and the betterment of our lifestyle in the Pico NC area." -end |
