Do you care what is going on in your neighborhood? If you live north of Wilshire Boulevard, you’ll have a chance to chime in this weekend.
The Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition will host its annual meeting on July 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Reed Park Auditorium at Seventh Street and Wilshire Boulevard.
This year’s annual meeting will feature refreshments, presentations and discussions among residents. The scheduled speakers are Steve Stark, director of finance for the city of Santa Monica; Ferris Kawar, of Sustainable Works; Lucy Dyke, city transportation manager; and Matt DiNapoli, Fairmont Miramar, making the first public presentation of the plans for the expansion of the hotel. Other agenda items include the election of board members and a proposed by-laws amendment directing Wilmont officers be elected by instant runoff voting.

The boundaries are Montana Boulevard to the north (both sides); Ocean Avenue to the west; 21st Street to the east; and Wilshire Boulevard to the south (north side only). Board meetings are the third Monday each month at 7 p.m. in the Ken Edwards Center. Annual membership dues are $10 per person; $15 per family.
