There will never be 100% agreement but <br />you have to show up to vote. The design selected was voted in." <br />Why didn't NIES Staff support Pacific Park in implementing a transparent & equitable process that included in - <br />person meetings & in -person votes? <br />Also note that Artesia Pilar worked with artist Marina Aguilera, who provided residents with a choice of <br />designs to vote on. <br />Marina was also contacted by my Pacific Park Co -Leader Selica Diaz to design our Pacific Park street toppers. <br />Selica has since ghosted her, not even giving this professional artist the courtesy of returning her calls or <br />emails. <br />I will continue to forward neighborhood leader testimonials as I receive them. <br />Kind Regards, <br />SPS <br />Sandra Pena Sarmiento <br />Pacific Park Neighborhood Co -Leader <br />www.pacific park neighborhood. corn <br /> <br />Begin forwarded message: <br />From: wooruby < <br />Date: July 20, 2023 at 12:07:23 PM PDT <br />
