3-7-01 Hearing by the LA City Planning Hearing officer on The VNY Master plan at the Airtel in Van Nuys
6:30 pm study session, an opportunity to ask question and for most people the first opportunity to see the six volume plan and DEIR which is a stack over 12 inches high. The Hearing starts at 7:30 PM where you will have only 3 minutes to comment of the million word study. We have some of the documents on this website
On 7-31-00 - We asked everyone who supports the First Amendment and Brown Act, which governs open meetings for local government bodies, to come to the Van Nuys Airport Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) meeting at 7pm at the Airtel hotel in Van Nuys.
The misnamed CAC which should be called the "Lords of the Noise". It is more an airport boaster club made up of LAWA and LA City political appointees with a few out numbered citizen members.
The Lords of the Noise (CAC) in agenda item 3 at their 8-1-00 meeting placed by Bob Rodein (Appointed by Mayor Riordan), wants to remove a comment made by a valley resident from the CAC minutes. The claimed "inaccurate or false" statement is "a majority of the residents of the Valley perceived the airport (Van Nuys) to be a noise maker"
Operating like the repressive anti-community group they are, the CAC wants to remove the comments of a resident from the record because the Lords of the Noise have written a rule that overrides the First Amendment and the Brown Act. It states in part "persons are precluded from providing information that is wholly inaccurate or false". Of course the Lords of the Noise determine what is "accurate or false".
8-4-00 The motion at the 8-1-00 CAC to remove the comments from the minutes was tabled to kill it. Everyone except Bob Rodine (the author) thought it was wrong and they had no right to censor public comment.
