"Thanks for the TERA weekly update. I am continually amazed
by the level of professionalism and technical detail your group is able to
provide
to your ever-increasing constituency. What an asset to a community
buried in the LA bureaucratic shuffle. I've only seen such vigor and
intelligence
in Larchmont and Brentwood in LA, and even they don't compare.
Keep up the fine work -- while frustrating --
very rewarding for the betterment of the community."
-- Tom Eidem, noted economic development advisor, San Clemente

1. TERA SEEKS BOARD
NOMINEES
The TERA Board of Directors consists of at least five but not more than 15
members, all of whom serve a renewable three-year term. The TERA
membership votes every year for one or more new Board members, depending on the
number of positions open. The annual addition of new Directors promotes a
fresh exchange of ideas, and it encourages new and more creative solutions to
problems. These conditions are vital to the health, welfare, and
advancement of a well-run civic organization.
Directors must pledge to uphold TERA's mission and purposes (stated below), and
they must have been TERA members for at least one (1) year prior to election.
Directors shall be residents and/or property owners in the Eagle Rock
community. No member may be elected Director who holds a federal, state,
county, city, or other public office representing Eagle Rock or be a salaried
appointee of an elected official representing Eagle Rock. No member may
be elected Director whose business consists primarily of land
development, representation of land developers, or activity in zoning or
planning or land-use matters, which would conflict with TERA's mission and
purposes.
The broad mission of this organization is to work for improvement of the quality
of life in the Eagle Rock Community in Los Angeles, California, by providing
research and education about Eagle Rock, participating in land-use and planning
activities, and promoting positive community growth and beautification.
The specific purposes of TERA are as follows:
1. CHARACTER. To work to retain the community character of the Eagle Rock
area, the Association's geographical focus, by participating in and initiating
activities suited to that end.
2. PRESERVATION. To encourage preservation of single-family low-density
residential land use, open space, ecologically important areas, cultural
resources, historical sites and landmarks, aesthetic integrity, safety, and the
high quality of life in the Community.
3. PROTECTION. To protect the entire Eagle Rock area from incompatible
land uses and encroachment upon its basic residential character and its best
qualities as a place to live.
4. DEVELOPMENT. To seek and abet harmonious development of land and
buildings within the Community that is consistent with the character and
history of the neighborhoods, and to foster harmonious relationships between
Community residents and developers pursuing those same ends.
5. COOPERATION. To promote cooperation among Community residents and
Community organizations concerning land-use, planning and zoning matters and
other matters affecting the quality of life in the Community, to disseminate
data and information on pertinent problems and issues, and to cultivate good
relationships with other communities in the Northeast Los Angeles District, the
surrounding cities of Glendale, Pasadena and La Canada Flintridge, as well as
all communities citywide.
6. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. To promote comprehensive knowledge and
understanding of the Community and its heritage, and of the need to protect the
area's "small town" atmosphere and character.
7. GOVERNMENT. To work with the City and County of Los Angeles and the
State of California toward the implementation and enforcement of legislation
pertinent to the Association's objectives and welfare.
8. LOCAL SCHOOLS. To work with all parts of the community to improve
local schools within Eagle Rock.
9. EDUCATION. To promote public awareness and education of issues
affecting Eagle Rock.
The TERA Board generally meets the third Tuesday of each month except around
the holidays, and we hold public meetings at the Eagle Rock Community Cultural
Center approximately four times each year. Attendance at public meetings
is preferred but not mandatory. It is highly desirable for Board members
to be computer-savvy or at least be computer-acquainted. All nominees are
asked to submit a biographical statement of 150 words or less explaining their
qualifications, experience, and what they can offer to help TERA reach the goal
of high quality of life for all who live in Eagle Rock.
If you know a TERA member who meets the foregoing qualifications and who would
be willing to devote a certain amount of time and energy furthering TERA's
goals, any TERA member may submit that individual's name for nomination. A
final slate of nominees is determined by the Nominating Committee, consisting
of at least two but not more than five Board members, excluding the president.
Please call Kathleen Long at (323) 259-TERA, or Email her at KTLN@aol.com
with your submissions. Deadline for submission of nominees and their bios
is June 15, 2003.

3. "PERFORMING THE BORDER" VIDEO DOCUMENTARY
AT AVENUE 50 STUDIO--MAY 30
From: Kathy Gallegos, director
The Avenue 50 Studio
I would like to invite you to stop by the Avenue 50 Studio on Friday night to
see the video "Performing the Border" by Ursula Biemann.
"Performing the Border" is a video documentary questioning
the murders of the young women of Juarez. Here's a short synopsis
of the work:
"A video essay set in the Mexican border
town Ciudad Juarez, where the US industries assemble their electronic and
digital equipment. The video looks at the border as both a discursive and
a material space and discusses the sexualization of the border region through
gendered labour division, prostitution, the entertainment industry and sexual
violence in the public sphere. The serial killings in Juarez raise
questions of the public/private and the entanglement between eroticized
violence and mass technologies of the information society."
Please join me on Friday, May 30 at 7:00. It's an important
video.

resonate in a visual narrative inspired by sources as diverse as DaVinci, Poe,
and Bosch.

1986, and an MFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers in 1990.

14. LETTERS AND E.MAILS
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following message arrived in response to an item
from the LA Conservancy in last week's e.letter that addressed the
LAUSD's "questionable track record" with regard to the school
district's care of the many historical properties in their real estate
portfolio.)
Dear Friends,
Re: Policy of LAUSD re environmental reviews.
All in NE Los Angeles recall, I am sure, the Burbank Junior High School
disaster, in which LAUSD decided to demolish the school because of earthquake
hazard. The demolition contractor went bankrupt when he discovered that
the buildings were made of reinforced concrete that would have withstood any potential
earthquake. Eventually, of course, this outstanding example of art
moderne public structure was replaced by the "new" Burbank JHS, an
entirely undistinguished and far less durable building. So it goes.
One position that would assist both interests in the current matter is to
require an historic significance review of all LAUSD structures over X years
old, to identify those that should raise a red flag for an extensive narrowed
environmental review if they are proposed for demolition or significant
modification.
Best regards,
Art Snyder
Dear Friends & Neighbors:
We are so close to getting better development in Northeast, but we still need
your help. The Zoning Administrator will be making a decision about the
Conditional Use Permit for the proposed McDonald's at 3901 Eagle Rock Blvd. on
June 3rd. The good news is that Councilmember Garcetti and the membership
of the GPIA have come out against the McDonald's (the GPIA membership voted
overwhelming against the McDonald's - with 82.7% opposed).
But, we need community members to attend the public hearing on the Conditional
Use Permit and we are gathering as many people as possible to attend.
Here's why:
We have found out that a local developer and a person who has a financial
interest in the McDonald's are attempting to get people to the hearing to say
they support the McDonald's. Because of this, it's important to have the
community's real intentions and interests heard - and why the ZA needs to hear
what the neighborhood really wants!
If you can't make the hearing, please ask people who you think might be able to
make it (retirees, stay-at-home parents, people who work from home, college
students, etc.) to please join us. We need people at the hearing, as well
as to sign the petitions and let the ZA know we do not want another McDonald's
in our neighborhood!
Here are the details:
Conditional Use Permit Hearing
Tuesday, 3 June 2003
Los Angeles City Hall
200 N. Spring Street, Room 1020
We are arranging car pools, so if you need a ride (or are willing to drive),
please let me know. If you can drive, I will need your car information so
we can get you a free parking pass into City Hall from the Councilmember's
office.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email (tscud1@eartlhink.net) or by phone (h: 323
340-8776).
