Voting Day - Tuesday, May 19th

 

Your voice counts!!! Please go to the polls. If you haven't made up your mind yet, you haven't had time to follow the debates or do the research, here's our recommendation:


 

Go to your best friend and confidant and ask them who they are voting for and why. Don't let anything keep you from voting this time. Beachwood Canyon can have the best voter turn out of any other sector of this council district. A great turn out sends a message to the winner that this community doesn't sit things out. We mean business! If you've already mailed in your ballot, bravo for you!


 

If you haven't mailed in your absentee ballot, please complete it and bring it to your polling station. If you lost your ballot, get a provisional ballot at your polling place. But you must go to your polling place. Need a ride? Send email to [email protected] and we will make sure someone picks you up and takes you to your polling place!


 

Get your "I voted" sticker and wear it proudly.

HUNC About Millennium 

 

The following is from the most recent Hollywood United Neighborhood Council Newsletter

 

The Millennium Towers Update

HUNC was pleased, though not surprised, with the recent Superior Court decision to throw out the EIR for the Millennium Towers. Having pointed out before the project was approved by the City Council that it would overwhelm the local infrastructure and cause traffic jams all around the project area we fully expected this result.

 

While the judge may have found the Millennium's developer to have adequately studied the project's proximity to the Hollywood Fault, we expect that any new EIR will have to delve much deeper into this issue and that any new development proposal will have to clearly state what exactly is to be built, nor just a total square footage figure. 

HUNC is not opposed to sensible development within certain height limits (under 22 stories) and other parameters (take into consideration impact on streets and other infrastructure, following due process and not cutting any corners). We encourage the City, the business community and local developers to work with us as an unaligned party.

Tired of Hearing Helicopter Noise? 

 

This information was found in the same HUNC newsletter. 

 

Here's a way to respond! 
 
Every resident in Los Angeles County can now report helicopter noise on the Federal Aviation Administration's new automated Helicopter Noise Complaint System.  We can stop helicopter noise - if we ALL report those low flying, hovering, or noisy helicopters.

 

The system is easy to use - with three ways to report noise complaints:
1.  Call 424-348-3254 (that's 424-348-HELI) and follow the voice prompts
2.  Use the General Complaint Form at http://heli-noise-la.com/how-to-use/
3.  Track and complain about a specific helicopter at http://heli-noise-la.com/webtrak/

 

The Federal Aviation Administration funded development of the complaint system and is funding its initial operation from April 2015 through March 2016.  So, please use this system every time you are bothered by helicopter noise.  Let the FAA know it is important to you.
This is a unique opportunity to have your voices heard.  Send the attached flyer to your friends and neighbors - remind them to be part of the solution - and help fix this problem.

Why not wander into into the Cafe and have a meal and conversation with any one of the many neighbors you will run into? This IS family!

If You Don't Vote - You Can't Complain   

North Carolina Got it right. This is a brief but fiery speech on the value of your vote. 



The first way to make a change is to get out to the polls and vote! While these issues in North Carolina are deep and broad, the changes they make by their votes are powerful and long lasting. Every vote counts! Watch the video. Put the video on and listen while you do other tasks. If you think she's yelling, that's because it's just THAT important!
