Town hall meeting on new boardwalk commercial vending, noise ordinance

A town hall meeting Thursday, February 7th, on the proposed new version
of a City of Los Angeles ordinance regulating commercial vending and
noise along the Venice Beach Boardwalk is scheduled to be moderated by
Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl.

The meeting is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Oakwood Recreation
Center, 767 California Ave., Venice.

The current boardwalk ordinance, which was approved in January 2006,
has been the subject of federal litigation. In an "unprecedented move"
welcomed by city officials, Federal District Court Judge Dean D.
Pregerson has been supervising a mediation process designed to produce a
compromise ordinance that allows the city to regulate noise and
commercial vending, while respecting and protecting First Amendment
rights, Rosendahl said.
