Input: A petition to recall Councilman Paul Krekorian has been cleared for signature-gathering, the Los Angeles City Clerk’s Office announced Friday. 
  
 The recall effort was launched earlier this year by several residents who said they were dissatisfied with Krekorian’s handling of development issues. 
  
 In order to mount a recall, the proponents would need to gather and submit at least 18,536 valid signatures from qualified registered voters in Krekorian’s 2nd District by July 26, according to the clerk’s office. 
  
 Recall proponents allege the councilman, who represents a district that includes Valley Village, North Hollywood and Studio City, has “demonstrated a marked bias favoring outside business interests over community sensibilities and community requests.” 
  
 Krekorian aide Ian Thompson has dismissed that allegation as “simply not true,” saying the councilman “has worked very closely and successfully with the community to fight against overdevelopment and mansionization,” including placing protecting areas against oversized homes in the Valley Village neighborhood. 
  
 Donna Gooley, one of the five official proponents, said the “catalyst” for her to join the recall effort was the demolition of a former home of Marilyn Monroe. 
  
 The city deemed the property historically and culturally insignificant, and denied an appeal from members of the community who wanted to preserve it. Gooley said the home was on a street that was excluded from historic status designation, a move that has allowed properties to be sold off for “major developments.” 
  
 The four other proponents listed on the notice are Jed Fuchs, Goran Nicola Lukic, Pamela D. Lippert and JoAnn D. Erickson. 
  
 In the past 10 years, no group has successfully scheduled a recall, with all four attempts during that time failing, according to Horacio Arroyo, a project director with the City Clerk’s Office. 
  
 Groups have begun circulating petitions, but failed to turn in the required number of valid signatures in efforts initiated against Los Angeles Unified School District board member Mike Lansing in 2006, City Councilman Jack Weiss in 2007, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in 2010 and LAUSD board member Monica Garcia in 2012, according to Arroyo.

 Now, the path is clear for petitioners to get at least 18,536 valid signatures - about 15 percent of qualified registered voters - in Council District 2 by July 26.

 Krekorian’s critics say they are fed up with him on development issues in his district, which stretches from Studio City to the Verdugo Mountains Park in Sun Valley. 
  
 Recall proponents allege that the councilman, who represents a district that includes Valley Village, North Hollywood and Studio City, has “demonstrated a marked bias favoring outside business interests over community sensibilities and community requests.” 
  
 But Krekorian said Friday his re-election was proof that a recall is unwarranted. 
  
 “One year ago, I won re-election with more than 75 percent of the vote, and I’m confident that the vast majority of my constituents approve of what we’ve accomplished together in the San Fernando Valley,” he said in a statement. “In any district of a quarter million people, there will always be a few disaffected and unhappy individuals, but I’ll continue to work hard to represent the interests and the values of the people of the 2nd District.” 
  
 One of the residents pushing for a recall, Donna Gooley, of Valley Village, said in an earlier e-mail to the Daily News that she and others in the community have been “basically ignored” by the system. 
  
 “Valley Village (has) too much development and little preservation,” Gooley wrote. 
  
 She says that the main reason for the recall was the destruction of the Marilyn Monroe house in her neighborhood.

 The Hermitage Avenue home, where 17-year-old Norma Jean Dougherty once lived, was razed in June. 
  
 Some residents were seeking historical designation of the home, which was destroyed days before the city’s Cultural Heritage Commission was to hold a hearing on the case. 
  
 Some residents blamed Krekorian for not supporting the landmark request or helping to preserve the house. He was also criticized for not taking action in an earlier preservation matter involving Henry’s Tacos in North Hollywood.

 Wolcott said earlier that it would cost about $1.7 million to hold a special election.

 The recall petition was approved on March 31 but the collection of signatures started on March 28, the clerk’s office said in a statement. 
  
 “There was a glitch on their end and they needed to make some kind of edit to the document and resubmit it. But the clock started on the 28th,” Sandra Mendoza, a spokesperson for the clerk’s office said. |||||
Output:
A Los Angeles city council member may lose his job because someone tore down a house once occupied by Marilyn Monroe, the Los Angeles Daily News reports. Monroe lived in the Valley Village house a few miles north of Hollywood six decades ago, when she was 17-year-old Norma Jean Dougherty. A group of residents were trying to get historical designation for the house, but it was demolished just days before a scheduled hearing in June. According to the Los Angeles Times, city staffers didn't want the house considered for historical protection, and it was removed to make way for a condo project. One Valley Village resident, Donna Gooley, says the demolition of Monroe's old home is the major reason for an effort to recall Los Angeles city council member Paul Krekorian, a petition for which got official approval last week. Some residents blame Krekorian for not supporting the effort to protect Monroe's house specifically and the community he represents in general. One constituent tells the Times that Krekorian is "destroying the neighborhoods" with "horrendous high rises." The petition to recall Krekorian accuses him of favoring business interests in development over those of the community, My News LA reports. The petition needs more than 18,500 signatures from registered voters in Krekorian's district for the recall effort to move forward. It could be an uphill battle: Krekorian was reelected in 2015 with 75% of the vote.
