Westside planning committee needs residents

The Costa Mesa City Council is looking for residents with a vested

interest in the future of the Westside to serve in a large, dynamic

committee designed to map out a plan for the neighborhood.

The Westside Redevelopment Action Committee will work as the public

facilitator to define the purpose, goals, success and future for the

city’s Westside. It will also work to prepare an action plan to implement

the recommendations.

One member will be appointed by each council member, and five at-large

members will be appointed by the council. Two members will also be chosen

from a list of designated community organizations.

Except for the at-large members, all applicants must be legal

residents, and must live or own property or a business within the

Westside boundaries. The Westside is generally defined as the southwest

portion of the city, west of Harbor and Newport boulevards and south of

the Costa Mesa Golf and Country Club, Estancia High School and Fairview

Park.

A letter of interest may be sent to the City Council, City Hall, P.O.

Box 1200, Costa Mesa, CA 92628-1200. Interested people can also pick up

an application at City Hall or download a form from the Web site, o7
