On Nov. 6 we will be voting on the $15 million bond issue. At the same time, Point Dume residents will be voting on those who will be on the Board of Directors of the Point Dume Community Service District.
The PDCSD Board wishes to expand into our neighborhood at the site of the Cowan Nursery and the Malibu Stage Co. theater site. In deciding to choose your board members, please consider the following facts.
1. Zuma Canyon is not in your service district, hence your board is not accountable to us, i.e. we have no voting rights.
2. The overwhelming majority of homeowners on Bonsall strongly object to your district expanding into our neighborhood.
3. Clark Cowan, owner of the site, told us that he does not wish the district to use his nursery site.
4. Clark Cowan was told by the M.S.C. (that leases the theater site) that they are no longer interested in entering into any agreement with the PDCSD.
To my friends and neighbors on Point Dume, please be sensitive to your neighbors on Bonsall Drive and inform your board of directors of the PDCSD, including Beverly Hammond, to confine their activity to their district and leave us alone! We do not share Beverly Hammond’s vision of a “New Future” that includes our neighborhood.
Malibu needs a community center. This site is not the solution. There are much better solutions. It’s a city-wide need and requires a city-wide solution; hence it should be under the direction of the City of Malibu.
