Riviera Homeowners Association

The informational meeting was canceled due to a scheduling conflict at the Katy Geissert Library Meeting room and “it was determined that the video reel and mailer would have greater reach.” Residents can expect a mailer soon. The City of Torrance promises that “additional Vista Montana restoration details will be available by week’s end” on the February Floods section of the Trending In Torrance website.

What could be easier?!

It’s Touch and Go on Touch and Goes – Weigh in Tuesday!

The Torrance City Council is once again deciding what to do about Torrance Airport “touch and go” training flights at the next City Council Meeting – Tuesday Oct 17, beginning at 6:30pm.

Council will vote on whether to accept the reconsideration of the vote on touch and goes, which would allow councilmember Asam Sheikh to change his vote to “no touch and goes.” This would make a majority vote opposed to touch and go training flights.

This important discussion is scheduled to be the last item on the City Council agenda (Item 9-G)! So you may come in late (sometime after 8:00pm) to the meeting and still hear the discussion live and have a chance to speak for one minute.

They don’t want us to show up and tell them that we are opposed to touch and goes – and that by placing this item at the end of the meeting; by having multiple meetings but not taking action; by making residents wait 3 years from the time the noise monitors were discontinued – they are trying to discourage the 145,000 residents of Torrance from demanding that they end all touch and goes.

You may also watch the meeting live on the internet, on Spectrum Channel 3 and on Frontier Channel 31.

Two meetings, both important to Riviera, Seaside, and other South Bay residents will happen in the next two weeks:

Touch and Go No Mo’?

Tuesday Sept 12  The Torrance City Council will reconsider the last vote on touch and go training at Torrance Airport.  The last time the City Council voted on the issue, it failed.   One of the council members who voted in favor of touch and goes has changed his opinion!  We would like to see them finally decide this issue on Sept. 12, but the City wants to wait. City Council meetings start at 7:00.

Write to CityCouncil@TorranceCA.gov to send an email to all council members and the mayor, to say the council must be allowed to reconsider the vote on touch and goes.  The noise and flights are worse, not better, since they ratified the Letter of Agreement.

General Meeting September 19 – open to all residents

Tuesday Sept 19  – The Riviera Homeowners and the Seaside Neighborhood Associations will have a joint meeting at the Riviera United Methodist Church, 375 Palos Verdes Blvd!  There will be two presentations:

• “Home Insurance Woes—what you should know”  There will be two Farmer’s Insurance agents and an insurance broker (who can compare and discuss all agencies and policies). They will suggest how to get and stay insured. 
• “Get off the Gas Stove—easy alternatives” The next presentation features a live demonstration of induction cooking by Doug MacMillan. He will cook (very quickly!) using electricity and induction cookware. Doug has some induction pans to loan out to interested residents!                

The General meeting will start at 7:00. Refreshments served.
