TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 7:00-9:00 P.M.
Daniel Webster Middle School Auditorium

Councilman Rosendahl will host a forum on
Measure B (to be on the March 3 ballot),
the charter amendment and proposal for
installing solar collectors throughout the city
under the auspices of LADWP,
the mayor and city council.
Though LA is an ideal city for solar energy,
Measure B is meeting opposition due to city officials'
handing of its development and paucity of public input.
Measure B proponents and opponents will be represented.

NEW PARKING METER RATES

meter charges has drivers "cruising" to find street parking.
This. in turn, increases in unnecessary traffic congestion
and pollution. On average, the City's parking meters
have not had a rate adjustment in about 20 years...
