(2) One of the 104 emails sent by a Hermosa Beach parent to the Coastal Commission in June/July 2019 (TL-2019Jun29 Letter re lawsuit delays):
“In June 2016, Hermosa Beach residents approved by a super majority (59%) the passage of Measure S, which would rebuild North School into a new public school.” (The actual the face of the Measure S text given to voters stated that North School stated that the bond would Renovate and Modernize Existing Classrooms and Buildings. Voters would need to read to the middle of page two, paragraph 4, to find out that school board members would, after passage of the bond, determine whether or not to rebuild or renovate North School. (TL-2016 Full Text of Meas S))
“Since that time, a small but very vocal group of residents who live nearby the location have protested the school every step of the way. This includes requests for multiple EIR studies plus a lawsuit that has delayed the project by more than 2 years.” This is an incorrect statement.
(3) Nextdoor online comment by Hermosa Beach resident, Sally Elenitsky (TL-2022 Nextdoor “delay” comments):
Emily O’Brian (Golden Hills): “Look at the beautiful brand new school in small Hemosa Beach! Manhattan Beach needs to step it up big time!”
Sally Elenitsky (Golden Triangle): “Emily yes, that was a result of our bond issue a few years back – of which $$ were eaten away and significant delays based on lawsuits etc… but the schools finally are done…”
This is an incorrect statement.
