City Council candidates will be on the hot seat tonight, as the Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution stages its second Santa Monica City Council candidate forum, from 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m., at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 Fourth Street. The forum will focus primarily on the environmental, noise, health, safety and other quality-of-life related issues pertaining to Santa Monica Airport and its impact on surrounding communities.
All 10 Santa Monica City Council candidates, including the three incumbents, vying for three open seats have been invited to participate. The forum moderator will be former Santa Monica Airport Commissioner, Dr. Jean Gebman. The candidates will have the opportunity to make an opening and closing statement and to answer questions from a panel of environmental organizations and community group leaders, as well as from the public.
Supporters of the forum include Friends of Sunset Park, a Santa Monica neighborhood association, and North Westdale Neighborhood Association, a Los Angeles neighborhood association.
