Redistricting Commission OKs All District Maps

State Redistricting Commission Approves All District Maps.  The RFA accepted and approved by all sides.  Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky to speak at August Board Meeting

Redistricting Commission:

I am very happy to report that the State Redistricting Commission, in a series of four votes, approved the final draft maps for the State Assembly, State Senate and Board of Equalization by a vote of 13-1 and the Congressional district by a vote of 12-2 on August 15th.  This means that all of Studio City WILL remain as one district.   The approved Maps are posted on the Commission website:  http://www.wedrawthelines.ca/. 

RFA - APPROVED:

After many months and as many closed door meetings, I am happy to announce that an ACCEPTED and APPROVED RFA has been completed.  The final public presentation of this document, prior to going to PLUM will be at the SCNC August 17 Board meeting by Karo Torossian, Deputy Director of Planning and Land Use, City of Los Angeles for Councilmember Paul Krekorian, Second District.  On behalf of our entire community, I would like to thank all those involved in bringing this very complicated issue to resolve - and to our Councilmember for his guidance.

Los Angeles County Supervisor (and possible Mayoral candidate?) Zev Yaroslavsky:

Will be our guest speaker at the August Board meeting.  Mr. Yaroslavsky will be speaking about the condition of Los Angeles, his vision on what needs to happen - and will be available for questions after.

I extend a personal invitation to each of you to attend the August Board meeting.  These are extraordinary times for our community, our City and our State.  Everyone is empowered to make a difference!

I truly hope to see as many of you as possible on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at the CBS Studio Center Lot, starting at 6:30.  Please show your support for our community.  Whoever is the candidate for Mayor in 2012 must have the support of the Valley.  That means all of us really will MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Mark your Calendars now.

Sincerely, 

John Walker

President, SCNC
