T-Mobile did not have a permit from the Coastal Commission to install this pole · T-Mobile did not have a permit from the City of Los Angeles. MPNA filed a complaint with the Coastal Commission Regional Office and the City requesting that T-Mobile remove the pole until they get the necessary permits. Instead of disciplining this illegal behavior, the Coastal Commission Staff is now allowing T-Mobile to file for a retroactive permit, with not so much as a slap on the wrist. The Regional Coastal Commission Staff has the temerity to recommend APPROVAL on their application. MPNA strongly opposes approval of this application and wants regulatory agencies to uphold the Coastal Act and local code. Giving breaks and extending special treatment to private Corporations that HOMEOWNERS WOULD NEVER RECEIVE is irrational and unfair. We must INSIST that laws and codes are applied consistently. This pole is directly adjacent to the Grand Canal, an Environmentally Sensitive Habit Area (“ESHA”) with a large bird population and heavy bird migration, including endangered species such as the Least Tern. The new tower and antennae is not only a danger to the birds, but is also unsightly and impacts views of the Canal by residents. Finally, T-Mobile has plenty of alternatives for its antenna location, including various tall buildings surrounding the Marina Peninsula. This is just THE CHEAPEST SOLUTION FOR T-MOBILE … they could care less about the impact on residents here. Moreover, we are trying to REMOVE unsightly utility poles… not add more of them! What MPNA does for you and the community: Monitor City & County actions Represent your interests/concerns Coordinate political actions Initiate legal action when necessary Organize social & business meetings with our members annually 2008 has been a busy year for MPNA, achieving positive results for our community Quick Report: We initiated the Grand Canal restoration project and serve on the Advisory Board. The first phase of the project is underway, and we secured commitments from the City to protect nearby empty lots as permanent open spaces. The Eruv, the plan to run a wire and poles down our beach, we stopped through legal and political action. We caught T-Mobile installing an illegal telephone pole and are cooperating with legal action to remove it. We have secured commitments from the Council office to begin repaving our streets. We also coordinated a community security service to patrol the Peninsula.

SECURITY PATROLS BEGIN ON PENINSULA
MPNA BEACH PARTY Venice Paparazzi Photo Gallery MPNA Aug 23rd 2008 - Your picture or your neighbors may be there!
MPNA ANNUAL MEETING We would like to thank our speakers which included LAPD Senior Lead Officer Robin Richards, Security Service Systems President George Aceves, Nancy Marino from WEAREMDR, and Arturo Pena from the Council District 11 office. George Aceves has agreed to a huge discount for condominium HOAs with 4 units or more. This means that the entire building will have the service, and it can be paid from your HOA dues. Condos with 4 units or more will pay $10/month/unit. So for example, in a building with 10 units, it would only cost $100 per month, paid quarterly ($300). Arturo Pena took questions from the residents regarding a variety of issues. Then we had the security presentation, a status of the Canal Restoration project, and then Nancy Marino gave a comprehensive update regarding County projects at various parcels in the Marina proper. We finished
with a question and answer session for members and attendees.
"WE ARE MDR"
COASTAL COMMISSION HEARING VICTORY!
QUIMBY FUNDS It took a recent L.A. Times article to bring the subject to light, and the fact that there is almost $12 million which has not been used in the CD11 district alone. Read about it here, and send us your feedback about possible sites for park-like improvements. We have several sites on the peninsula that we feel could be greatly improved with very little money.
STREET REPAIRS
After months of trying to get an answer for the street repair schedule, board member Mark Winter has been informed by the city that street repairs will begin on Strongs Drive beginning this fall.
