The Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition will host its annual meeting on Saturday, June 28 from noon to 3 p.m. at Reed Park Auditorium.

This year’s annual meeting will feature refreshments, presentations and discussions among residents. The scheduled speakers this year are water resource specialist Kim O’Cain from the city’s Water Resource Management Section, who will discuss water conservation and urban runoff, transportation planning manager Lucy Dyke —from the city’s traffic division — regarding the new developments in traffic in the neighborhood and a spokesperson from the Santa Monica Police Department, who will speak on neighborhood-centered policing.

Other agenda items include election of board members and discussion of neighborhood concerns.

The annual meeting is often attended by City Councilmembers and city officials, so it gives everyone a chance to present his or her views directly to his or her representatives.

“This is an opportunity for everyone to be heard,” said Rob Rader, vice-chair-person of the Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition.

There will also be door prizes for attendees provided by local merchants, including gift certificates from Three Bags Full, L’Oliphant, Michael’s Restaurant and Pavillions.

The annual meeting is being catered by Step Up On Second. The Wilshire/Montana Neighborhood Coalition has the largest population within its boundaries of any neighborhood organization in the city. Its boundaries are Montana Boulevard to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the west, 21st Street to the east and Wilshire Boulevard to the south. Meetings are the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Ken Edwards Center on Fourth Street. Annual membership dues are $10 per person and $15 per family.
