Seven Members Selected For Bayside Board

Chris Mobley of Community Corporation of Santa Monica and Doug Roscoe of Macerich joined the Bayside District Board last month after they were elected by Downtown property owners June 10. Five other board members will return.

Two board members – Allan Golad and Barbara Tenzer – were re-elected by property owners as at-large representatives. Three board members – Barbara Bryan, Rob Rader and Johannes Van Tilburg – were appointed by the City Council in June.

The seven members will each serve four years on the 13-member board, which oversees a $5 million budget that maintains public spaces, funds the Ambassador program and markets the area. The board also makes policy recom- mendations to the City Council.
