About Dan O'Brien and Denice Renteria:
Dan O'Brien
DAN O'BRIEN
Dan O’Brien has decades of community involvement in Culver City and a reputation for being a collaborative leader with a record of getting things done. Dan has lived in Culver City for over 22 years, and his children attended CCUSD schools from K-12. Dan served as a member of the city’s first Committee on Homelessness, founded the non-profit Culver City Great Parks Association, was a trustee of the Culver City Education Foundation, scoutmaster of BSA Troop 108, and co-founder of FeedCulver. Dan was awarded the BSA’s highest regional volunteer honor, the Silver Beaver Award, and the Culver City PTA’s highest volunteer honor, the Golden Oak Honorary Service Award. Dan is a commercial and film editor and director.
CCNU is especially impressed with Dan's approach to leadership; as a city council member, he is committed to communicating with constituents respectfully, with a desire to listen and understand, regardless of their position on any topic. He plans to actively seek to meet with the public where they are. Regarding Affordable Housing, Dan stated that too much of our time has been focused on dismantling our R1 neighborhoods, and instead a focus needs to be placed where we can have the greatest impact: in large-scale developments on land that could be zoned as such. Other top issues are: using a balanced approach to addressing the homelessness crisis, public safety and policing traffic and mobility, and lack of public amenities such as a community center, world-class performing arts venue, multifunctional sports complex, expanded swim stadium, and a greener Ballona Creek with expanded bike lanes and pedestrian space.
