POLA Biological Mitigation Meeting tonight
If there's one meeting you attend all year in San Pedro, let it be this one. Apparently this is the meeting where we get to beg/cajole/plead for Port of Los Angeles related environmental mitigation projects to take place in the community that actually is affected by the Port, rather than in other parts of the state. Full text of the POLA PR for the event is below. I've been sick as a dog, so I might not make it to the meeting tonight, anyone who would like to consider me amongst their own personal "silent majority" please do so, preferably in any position that advocates additional wetlands restoration/expansion in San Pedro.
Port of Los Angeles
Biological Mitigation Program
PUBLIC MEETING
to receive input on potential biological mitigation opportunities in the Los Angeles Harbor area
Tuesday, January 31, 2006
6:00 p.m.
Banning’s Landing Community Center
100 E. Water Street, Wilmington
Please join us! The Port of Los Angeles is seeking public input to identify potential biological mitigation sites “close to home.” On October 25, 2005, the Board of Harbor Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 6391, which established a Port policy of pursuing biological mitigation opportunities in the Harbor District and Ballona Wetlands. The purpose of this meeting is to obtain input from the community on potential mitigation opportunities in the Harbor area.
The meeting will start with a brief presentation by the Port’s Environmental Management Division to outline the criteria the Port must follow to accomplish biological mitigation and receive credits towards future Port development. In addition, we have compiled a list of several potential sites in the area and will have those identified on a map for discussion at this meeting.
We welcome your input and look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Again with the short notice! First Harold's, now this...
Sorry bout that. This one's my fault. I got the Harold's E-mail notice about 5 minutes before I posted it. I've known about this meeting for a week, but I forgot to post it earlier. I've been a little out of it, due to a nasty head cold I'm living in a permanent sinus headache.
