To: <br />Subject: RE: Artesia Pilar Street Toppers <br />Hi <br />Where do I start? IT took 10 year period. We started with a committee. Then another <br />committee. Residents showing up was a problem and we had no staff. Councilman Jonathan <br />Hernandez helped us organized. <br />Concepts were discussed and presented at meetings. There will never be 100% agreement but <br />you have to show up to vote. The design selected was voted in. <br />Having done this process, the City staff are now more experienced and made the process more <br />uniform and the approval better for staff and neighborhood associations and community <br />organizations. <br />Work with your Neighborhood Initiative staff. Your challenge will be raising the money for the <br />project, installation and unveiling. <br />Ruby <br />Sent via the Samsung pia➢axy S We, an !Y 1'&r.T % I volution capable smarV.plione <br />-------- Original message -------- <br />From: Sandra Pocha Pena < <br />Date: 7/20/23 8:10 AM (GMT-08:00) <br />To: wooruby@yahoo. <br />Subject: Artesia Pilar Street Toppers <br />Good Morning Ruby, <br />Thank you for giving such an informative presentation at the Community Ventures <br />workshop in January. I viewed a video of the meeting and found your words very <br />inspiring. <br />I am writing to ask about the process you followed to create your Artesia Pilar street <br />toppers. <br />The talented artist Marina Aguilera says she provided your neighborhood association <br />with several design options to consider. <br />Were the designs presented at a neighborhood meeting? <br />Did folks vote on it? <br />
