Members of ULI Los Angeles Honor Gail Goldberg The Planning Report, June 2010

Wayne Ratkovich, President / CEO, The Ratkovich Co.
Gail Goldberg was a gift to the City of Los Angeles, deserving of enormous gratitude. The best way for the city to express that gratitude is to ensure that her policies and practices will continue.

Renata Simril, Vice President, Forest City
It would be advisable that the next Planning Director continue the reforms instituted by Gail Goldberg. Gail's focus on neighborhood planning - detailed, robust and seeking to provide more certainty and balance is the right direction for the Planning Department to be going. It is better for developers and better for residents. New Community Plans and the reorganization of the Planning Department to a geographically based structure are the 2 most essential foundations for assuring positive change in the planning and development process in LA.

Dan Rosenfeld, Senior Deputy, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas
All of the important selection criteria for this position - planning vision, community sensitivity, integrity and courage - suggest that the City should rehire Gail.
