VII. ACTION ITEMS 

G. South Bay Aerospace Alliance SBCCOG representative – 12:10 pm

  • In discussions with Michael Jackson of the South Bay Aerospace Alliance, he explained that they are re-doing their bylaws and so exact numbers aren’t known yet but they are heartened by the interest of so many elected officials.  At this time, a delegate and an alternate would be accepted.
  • It is my understanding that all elected officials can come to the alliance meetings but that the delegate and alternate positions are for the Executive Board.
  • Nominees Rodney Tanaka, Olivia Valentine and Richard Montgomery
  • Statements received by May 6, 2018
  • Olivia Valentine 
    • I am interested in being the SBCCOG representative for the South Bay

Aerospace Alliance. I have been actively serving on that committee for two years, on behalf of the SBAAC.  In that capacity, I worked with Mayor Suzanne Fuentes of El Segundo, and Councilmember Laura Emdee to procure MOUs between our cities and the LAAFB to increase the supply of attainable housing for military personnel assigned to the AFB.  I am familiar with the issues facing the AFB and I believe I would be a valuable representative from the SBCOG to the to the South Bay Aerospace Alliance.   

  • Rodney Tanaka, Gardena 
    • I am a 64-year resident of the South Bay, specifically of Gardena, a retired Lieutenant with the Gardena Police Department, ‘spent 12 years working skid row as a pastor, and am now in my first term as City of Gardena Council Member (currently as Mayor Pro Tem).  I am the City of Gardena’s alternate representative to SBCCOG.
    • Our City and community strongly support the efforts and activities of the aerospace industry in the South Bay; specifically urging that the U.S. Air Force base continue their much-needed presence here.
    • I am interested in serving in this position to be able to learn more in-depth information about the industry and the Air Force in the South Bay and, therefore, be able to accurately and confidently share information with our Council and our citizens about this important resource for our community.
    • I would appreciate your consideration of my interest in serving with the South Bay Aerospace Alliance.
  • ACTION:   Recommend delegate and at least one alternate to represent the SBCCOG on the South Bay Aerospace Alliance
