A total of seven students and their program coordinator from Heal the Bay, Edward Murphy, went to the Los Angeles City Council meeting on Tuesday August 16, 2011 at 10:00. They were all prepared to present their experience with the creek week program. Each student had a speech on the five individual creeks that they visited during the program and the differences and similarities that they saw after completing their physical, biological, and chemical assessments. Eric Garcetti acknowledged all of the members who came to the event yesterday and the audience clapped and recognized all their hard work and presence. Edward Murphy was also extremely proud to take these PAVA students. Now that many of them know and learned how to speak in front of council and the process involved in giving a public comment, many of the other groups will be able to come to city council and present their individual advocacy projects.
