In honor of L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday 1997

[Photograph]      Well, they hadn’t worked with us on a project before and as you will see, there were a number of surprises in store—from both sides.

     First we surprised them with our planning—and meticulous planning it was.

     But ordinarily the City of Los Angeles does not permit private planning.

     In fact, it’s unheard of.

     So imagine our surprise when the head of our planning arrived at the Department of Water and Power headquarters to find, not the expected red tape, but his own office space right in the permit department—replete with supplies, and computer station.

     With cooperation and assistance from the Mayor of Los Angeles right on down, a process that normally takes six months, was wrapped up in six weeks.

     And so construction began with ground breaking less than two months ago.
