Neighborhood Network Alliance Committee: Larry Crandall gave the report of the Neighborhood Network Alliance. The petition signing will come to an end, and neighborhood network volunteers were asked to turn in petitions they now have. We believe that our signed petitions will be about 62% of the total registered voters in Sunset Beach.

A new committee has been formed, Sunset Beach Citizens for Cityhood and No on Annexation. is a newly formed political action committee (PAC), established to fight annexation and provide the Sunset Beach community with a voice in local politics. The political action committee contemplates using grass roots campaign strategies to influence decisions by government leaders. So far, we have distributed 3500 flyers to Huntington Beach residents, using 38 volunteers. An ad has been purchased in the HB Independent, and additionally 300 signs will be distributed to business in HB, urging a no vote on annexation.

Everyone is urged to show up/speak at two HB Council meetings, the first on July 6, and the second on July 19, when a vote on annexation will be taken. The meetings start at 6:00 p.m. Please take a comment form when you arrive: Pink ones are for speaking on items not on the agenda and white ones for an agenda item.

Chris Draper reported on plans to distribute flyers at the 4th of July parade in HB. Spots along the parade route will be reserved and marked out for us.

New Business:

LCP: Tom Burke was not present, but there was a reminder to new committee members to submit their resumes.

C0MMITTEE ON FUTURE GOVERNANCE: Several speakers from Sunset Beach and many residents were at the June 12 HB Council Meeting to state our cause. Our incorporation petition has been filed with LAFCO, and LAFCO prepared a “peer review” of the feasibility studies accompanying our application, and HB’s report on annexation.

A motion was made, seconded and passed by the board to disseminate the peer review to the community. It will be available on the SBCA website, at www.sunsetbeachca.org along with a critique by Willdan, our financial study.

Lauren Alderete gave a report of a recent fund raising meeting, for the feasibility study LAFCO will do regarding our incorporation. (CFA). At least $100,000.00 needs to be raised and many have agreed to donate. The focus of the fundraising will be to repay those donations.

Some of the fundraising ideas are: a direct mail campaign asking for donations, a Reverse Raffle including a Reverse Raffle and Dinner for 2 for ticket purchases and prizes up to $10,000.00. Other items have been donated to be raffled off. Credit cards will be accepted.

The next meeting of the fundraising committee will be July 13 and more information will be available after that date.

We need more help with “pancake flipping.” If you can help, phone Graham Hoad at 562-230-0007.

Paul has obtained several “Share the Shakeup” emergency kits for the Community Association. A motion was made, seconded and passed to allocate $200.00 for the purchase of the kits.
