Councilmember Agran acknowledges the frustration many residents are feeling as the City Council has declined to agendize matters such as the Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery, Great Park residents and homeowners’ representation, All-American Asphalt-related health and environmental concerns, and a discussion of transitioning to district elections.

This frustration and growing impatience — conveyed via public comments, eComments, emails to Council, community discussion groups, and, most recently, a protest outside City Hall Tuesday afternoon — is palpable.

“I want to assure residents that I am committed to continuing to raise key issues on behalf of the community. I welcome working with any Councilmember or the Mayor to bring these topics to a City Council Meeting. Your concerns deserve to be discussed and acted upon.”
