Bruno Schmidt ran the meeting for L.A.P.D. Senior Lead Officer Brian Cook who is sitting in for Officer Joe Buscaino who is absent on assignment.

We discussed…

Meeting places, because Point Fermin Elementary School wants to charge $100.00 every 3 months to use the auditorium. So, possible new meeting places,
Point Fermin Park, Cabrillo Marina next to hotel, Angel’s Gate Park in a bungalow.

Another possibility would be locating funds to pay school to use the auditorium for meetings, they want $100.00 every 3 months

A mention of the next Point Fermin Homeowners Association meeting on Saturday at Point Fermin Park Community Building

Community Continuity program in case of emergency. Victor & Jennifer Maldonado attended the "Community Continuity — Prepare, Protect & Sustain our Harbor Communities — Phase One."
Being prepared for a catastrophic event from a San Andreas Fault earthquake:

Although, San Pedro is not projected to receive major damage during a major earthquake from the San Andreas Fault, San Pedro is projected to be affected due to the infrastructure collapse of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino & San Gabriel counties, for example, transportation due to freeway bridge collapses, disruption of vital services like unavailable gas, telephone, water...

We would like to begin the organization of a Community Emergency Response Team for the Point Fermin area beginning with a CERT certification.

We would need a location to be certified, like the YMCA, hotel or Cabrillo Bath House.
Updates to follow.

A big THANK YOU to Janice Hahn’s office who stepped in to assist with the quality of life issues at 28xx Carolina Street. There have been numerous and ongoing complaints of noise, fighting, drunkenness, threats, alleged drug dealing & also an alleged auto repair business/front. This address has been a quality of life issue for well over two years. Janice Hahn’s office was involved & shut down the alleged auto repair business — as an observation, it cannot be overstated how dramatic a change can be affected by enforcing a simple code violation.

The corner of 26th Street & Denison problems of noise, fights.

For all non-emergency calls, Non-Emergency business number 213-928-8223
