Commission (LPC).

Please plan to attend and testify on November 29! For those
many of you who were prevented from participating in the
first hearing due to insufficient accommodations, this is
your chance to make your voice heard. Even if you were
among the small number of people who were able to testify or

your continued support for meaningful improvements to the
landmarks process.

REMEMBER
• There is a 2- to 3-minute time limit for testimony
• Please bring at least 10 copies of your written testimony
to distribute to the Committee members
• Topics may include a) the need for increased funding for
the LPC; b) the need for greater transparency,
responsiveness and opportunity for public input in the LPC’s
designation and regulatory processes; c) the importance of
sustaining high standards in preserving our landmark
buildings and neighborhoods; and/or other matters related to
the administrative practices of the agency.

Please confirm that you will attend and send a copy of your
testimony to mpfaelzer@wccny.org or 212-228-4665 (fax). With
