Hermosa Beach City Council and E&B Natural Resources discussed revisions for the development agreement regarding the Hermosa Beach drilling project and determined the ballot language for the April oil drilling vote at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
At the meeting, Hermosa City Council decided the money earned from the oil drilling will not be used solely for school funding. Additionally, City Council altered some of the wording on the ballot.
“We have to determine what information is important to voters in order for them to make the right decision,” Hermosa Beach City Attorney Michael Jenkins said. “We have to argue what the fundamental and factual values are while maintaining neutrality and accuracy.”
City Council plans to finalize the Development Agreement and ballot language by the next meeting on Oct 28.
“We are happy about the revisions regarding funds,” Stop Hermosa Beach Oil chairperson Stacey Armato said. “But we feel it’s important all the information is available.”
