    As an Emergency Preparedness Commissioner for the City of Hermosa Beach, I strongly support improved safety of the Torrance refinery.

    At this time I respectfully request the City Council to not to take a position on this issue.

    I do not believe the City Council has publicly presented justification to oppose MHF, and any opposition is only political.

    I am extremely disappoint that the City Council decided to bypass the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission in this process, as I am in favor of an open and honest debate on this issue.

    Here is a brief video of Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission discussing this issue:

    Please support the opposition to MODIFIED HYDROFLUORIC ACID at the Torrance refinery. This dangerous chemical needs to be replaced. thank you.
