In Brief...
At the Nov. 8th meeting of the Grass Roots
Venice Neighborhood Council Board, the Venice Bulldogs Pop Warner Football
League Cheerleading Squad performed in thanks for support by the Board. At a
dance competition in the San
Fernando
Valley, Oct. 31, the Venice Bulldogs walked away with fifth, fourth, third and
first places.

Cindy
Miscikowski requested that the Neighborhood Council consider a proposal by the
“Windward Circle” Business District Association to spend $500,000 to
beautify the circle’s sidewalks and streets with benches, plants, and
colorful wave motifs on the pavement. Board members felt there had not been
enough outreach to the community. Also proposed was a sculpture by Robert
Graham at Windward Circle depicting the torso of a nude female figure. GRVNC
referred it to a joint meeting of the Art Committee, and the Land Use Committee
in
December.

The
Council also objected to a proposed L.A. ordinance allowing certain cell phone
transmission structures. Other items approved by the Council were a holiday
event at SPARC, access for Neighborhood Councils to cable TV air time, funding
for a Community Design Overlay on Lincoln Blvd., funding to repair the roof at
SPARC, and a Holiday Assistance Program to provide 100 meals to the needy on
Thanksgiving. The Council also approved a Town Hall, Dec. 13, with Solari
advocate Catherine
Austin-Fitts.
