SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Need - Required for Filing of
Fifth Year Community Development Block Grant Application
Introduction
The Fifth Year Community Development Block Grant allocation for Santa Monica is
$1.462 million. One of the requirements for filing the application for receipt
of CDBG funds is that the City hold two public hearings and give citizens an
opportunity to help develop the application by contributing their ideas and
COMments. The first public hearing on January 9, 1979 is a hearing on needs
in the area of community development. The second public hearing, scheduled
for January 23, 1979, will be on the app~oval of the final application. The
second hearing will also include a Performance Assessment, where citizens will
have an opportunity to comment on CDBG projects and programs already completed
or in progress.
Background
The Citizen Participation Plan for Santa Monica is designed to provide informa-
tion to the citizenry and to allow a feedback mechanism for citizens to partici-
pate In the planning, decision making, and evaluation of the use of Community
Development Block Grant funds. Other than the required public hearings, the
Santa Monica Citizen Participation Plan includes the following components.
,. Newspaper articles inviting written response from individual citizens as
well as local community groups.
2 Direct mail to community groups requesting ideas for the new allocation
of funds and requesting comments on COBG activities already completed or
in progress.

The ~epartment of Environmental Services prepared the attached
leaflet to evaluate the success of eleven Community Development Grant
f~~ded projects.
The summary of the first project is wholly incorporeal. It
does not state the "immediate danger.t1 The danger could be loose
pilings and floorboards, but it also could be poor lighting, crime.
waste-water pollutants, or excessive noise.
If part of the parking area is "functional" , part apparently
is inoperative. Why was the already "functional" restored ~nstead
of the inoperative?
"Renovation" is another catch-word. The most widely publicized
discussions about the pier have concerned the establishment of
businesses. This has also been dubbed "renovation".
The summary of the third project is nearly as inadequate. What
are "strategic locations.'? Between the tenth and eleventh floors of
skyscrapers? In the basement of R&~D? For the affected construction
comp~~y any location is strategic. The project is, therefore,
inassessable from the information given.
other projects on the list are also ambiguous,
I do not feel that this indecent inexposure should encompass
our city ordinances. There are some things that are not meant to be
sold. Among them are the rights of the people.

A NON-PROfiT ORGANIZATION
BOX #499 - SANTA MONICA. CALIFORNIA 90406
A STRONGER, SAFER COMMUNITY. . WHEN YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS REACT
January 9, 1979
TO: MEMBERS OF SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL:
Santa Monica Bay Area REACT, Inc., is a Cal ifornia non-orofit organization composed of
volunteers who devote their time, effort and radio equipment to publ ic service through
the medium of Citizen's Band radio.
Our Team was fonmally established in November, 1963, after an informal development
during the Bel Air fir.~of 1961. We are dedicated to programs of community involvement
which includes safety on the highways and in our community. Our communi~y involvement
includes disaster communications preparadeness as well as the monitoring of ca Channel
9 - the National Emergency Channel, and particioation in oublic service events within
our geograohical boundaries. Oor Team covers the area from the Ventura County Line,
east on Mulhol land to La Cienege Blvd, south t6 Century Blvd. end west to the ocean.
In order to increase our value to the community, we have exoanded our communications
capabilities from the Citizens Band radio to the more refined UHF-FM frequencies
such ~s used by the Sant~ Monica Police Department ~nd numerous other public agencies.
We have been I icensed to operate on the UHF-FAA frequencies In the General Mobile
Radio Service effective July 27, 1978.
Due to the terms of our UHF-FAA license, we are unable to require the members to
provide the UHF equipment which must remain under the control of the Team. Even if
this was not a condition of our' icense, the cost of eQuipment to most indiv'dual
members would be prohibitive, therefore we must seek a means of obtaining financial
assistance. Our REACT Team license per~its us to have 150 units operating under
our cal I sign. At the present, due to an advance made against any funding, we have
been able to obtain three hand-held units and one mobile/base unit. without the
addition of a mobile relay, or "repeater", the range on the UHF units is very
restricted. We have obtained a repeater site at Ocean and wilShire and have submitted
our apolication for the mobile relay 'repeater) 'icense to complete our communications
system.
Our community activities include working with the Santa Monica Chapter of the American
Red Cross. the Santa Monica Salvatior Army, the City of Santa Monica during the Festival
of Sports and Arts, and the Santa Monica Pol ice Department in a "Commun i ty Watch"
program which expands the number of Iteyes and ears" ava; lable to the Pol ice Department.
we also work with Los Angeles City and County civil authorit;es~ and with the Southern
California Humane Society in disaster situations. with our new mode of communications,
we can relieve much of the "unoffidal" conmunications currently tying up official
communications caoabilities of these agencies durIng times of emergencies.
Our purpose in_ submitting this brief summary is for consideration for funding for
the radio eauipment snd repeaters. Any funding we can obtain wil I be utiliZed for
the acquisition of the two-way UHF-FAA radios and ~repeater" eQuioment necessary to
exoand our mode of ooerations. An analysis of the cost of obt8i~ing and installing
the "repeater" is attached. continued
