An estimated 40 community members turned out to cast their votes for district representatives to the Ocean Beach Planning Board (OBPB) on Tuesday, March 9. According to results provided by OBPB officials, the winners, by district, were: District 1: Landry Watson District 2: Barbara Schmidtknecht District 3: Vacant District 4: Seth Connolly District 5: Giovanni Ingolia District 6: Catherine Cappellucci District 7: Ronson “Rony” Shamoun The board may appoint a representative to the vacant District 3 seat at the next OBPB meeting Wednesday, April 7 at the Ocean Beach Recreation Center, 4726 Santa Monica Ave., according to OBPB Chair Brittany Taylor. “So, if anybody wants to collect [35] signatures from District 3 and present them at least 24 hours before the next meeting, they can be appointed by the board,” Taylor said. District 3 sits in the northeast section of Ocean Beach from Froude Street to Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and from West Point Loma Boulevard to Cape May Avenue.

It also acts as a community forum for community concerns and helps facilitate communication between city officials and community members. Every year, district residents and businesses from the community elect seven of the 14 board positions.
