Let's celebrate as a community. There will be cake!
A community meeting set for May 9th at the Katy Geissert Library to update road closure information for areas affected by the March landslide has been cancelled. City officials stated that a scheduling conflict at the Library necessitated the change. Furthermore, printed material forthcoming from the city will expand upon and clarify the schedule for Vista Montana St. and work involved in the re-opening of the road.
Councilman Aurelio Mattucci, District 5, will lead a discussion by City Department leaders regarding the status of the road closure area on Vista Montana, and actions being taken to remedy the situation. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 8th from 6 to 7:30 PM at the Retiro Park Library, 126 Vista del Parque. City Departments represented will include Community Development, Public Works and Emergency Services.
The March 3rd City Council elections yielded two returning Council members and one new face. Incumbents Bridget Lewis, District 2, and Sharon Kalani, District 4, will continue to represent their areas. Newly-elected District 6 Councilperson Dr. Jeremy Gerson left his Board of Education trustee position to begin serving on City Council.
Among the issues that the Council will be facing in the next few months are various proposals for amendments to the City's charter. Those include whether the Council and the Mayor should receive a pay raise (their present stipend is $100. per month plus benefits); whether to expand the present 30 day residency requirement for candidates for public office; changes to the City Treasurer and City Clerk job descriptions; and if there should be a run off election when one candidate does not garner 50% of the total votes. Public input for these and other possible Charter changes is solicited for the April 23rd and June 4th Council meetings. Pictured below, left to right: Bridget Lewis, Sharon Kalani and Jeremy Gerson. On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, the Torrance City Council voted to continue its support of using the Metro-owned Right-of-Way to complete the Redondo-to-Torrance segment of the Metro, and accepting the LA Metro’s C-Line into the Torrance ending point at the new Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center. The Torrance Chamber of Commerce had previously also declared itself in favor of completing the segment. Members of the public may continue to attend or call into LA Metro’s Committee and Board monthly meetings to voice their opinion on this matter.
