Mayor and City Council Members:
There is no need for a committee to support the Art Center and the Huntington Beach
International Surfing Museum(ISM). The Art Center is well run and is supported by its
patrons and by the City.
This item appears to be yet another effort by this City Council to support the ISM. The ISM is
already getting significant support from the City in the below-market rent it is being charged
and being allowed to take up valuable space in the Main Street Library.
