RE: EPIC Leadership Designation for Phillips Community Parks Initiative
Move that EPIC support efforts by Ventura Village’s Secretary, Robert Albee to lead the Phillips
Community Parks Initiative in efforts to re-define and re-open the Phillips Community Center
(formerly the Boys and Girls Club) in a manner compatible with the diverse interests of the
residents and stakeholders of the Phillips Community.

West Neighborhood Association in efforts to ensure that a sustainable set of programs be

reconstruction to serve current and future residents.
