Community Property

By Gary Abrams

The School Pool Natatorium restoration not included in up coming Bond tax.

District Board ignores the Community's will.

SCHOOL BUSES- One of the buses broke down on the way to the Gene Autry Museum with a group of second graders aboard.

During my stroll for the 2009 School Board I frequently mentioned (inthefrontpageonline) the poorly maintained condition of the School District's property.

Championed the Nat. and had the first and second tours of the Natatorium. 2009 and 2011.

NATATORIUM Published support for the Natatorium Pool: Measure T (1996) Democratic Club Robert Zigulis (quotes over 2,000 signatures) Robert Smith Friends of the Nat Coaches Nestor Dor Jerry Chabola, retired athletic director Former School Board members: Mike Eskridge, Scott Zeidman, Steve Gourley, Alan Corlin, former mayor, Former Mayor of Culver City Mehaul O'Leary has his own program.

TAXES are a common way in which municipalities raise funds to cover expenses.

Generally this may not be the most popular method for local government to generate revenue.

However, in some cases taxation may be appropriate and acceptable. (Hernandez)

MERIT SERVICES- indirectly benefit the community, but also benefits the individual.

Reliable sources- Vets pool use count.It is 12,000 per month mostly fee-paid use by kids and adults. Makes money for City and Swim Team operator.

In this situation, it may be appropriate to use some public resources to support the program.

The individual will also be required to pay a fee.

However, the cost to the individual will be lower

due to the programs indirect benefit to the community. (Brayley)
