SR-710 Tunnel Option Not For Pasadena, Group Determines
After a year and a half, a damning report on the Pasadena Police Department’s detectives was finally released: a 74-page executive summary of the outside civilian review. The report makes 58 recommendations for reform of the Pasadena PD’s detective operations. Elbie J. Hickambottom, Jr., and Dale Gronemeier – the civil rights attorneys who successfully litigated in the trial court the release of 80% of the City’s independent civilian review of the Kendrec McDade shooting -hailed the belated release of the report by Veritas Assurance Group as “proving the need for an Independent Police Auditor and for reopening the investigation of the Joseph Jones murder.” Hickambottom said “Veritas functioned as the
Multiple transportation options focused on moving people, not vehicles, is the best approach to help complete the State Route 710 project, according to recommendations included in a report recently forwarded by the City’s SR-710 Alternatives Working Group to Mayor Bill Bogaard and City Manager Michael J. Beck. In a letter dated March 9, 2015, the Working Group concluded “a priority of any proposal should be on moving people, rather than vehicles.” Other important priorities identified included ensuring “consistency with Pasadena's General Plan, enhancing travel options for underserved communities, improving safety, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing surface street traffic and providing transportation choices to the public,” the Working Group noted. The Working Group began meeting in September 2014. Members include Stephen Acker,

California Housing Market Bounces Back in February After Slow Start to Year Slowing home price appreciation and improving inventory combined to boost California’s housing market in February as existing home sales and median home prices increased from both the previous month and year, the ARCADIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (A.A.R.) said Tuesday.. Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 368,160 units in February, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLSs statewide. Sales in February were up 4.7 percent from a revised 351,480
in January and up 2.4 percent from a revised 359,600 in February 2014. The year-over-year increase was the largest observed since December 2012. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2015 if sales maintained the February pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. “While February’s statewide improvement in the housing market was moderate, it’s an encouraging sign, nevertheless, as we head into the spring home-buying season,” said 2015 A.A.R.

In response to concerns of residents and government transparency, advocates expressed at Arcadia City Council meetings and in press reports, officials pulled the plug on plans for a sizable delegation of council members, department heads and relatives to tour various Chinese and Taiwanese locales. The controversy stemmed mainly from
of the mayor linked to Chinese companies, and the third donation came from a Chinese real estate developer with companies based in the San Gabriel Valley. Leading up to the first public disclosure of the trip plans and donations at a Feb. 3 council study session, City Attorney Stephen Deitsch sought advice from the Fair Political Practices Commission, or FPPC, on how to best advise Arcadia's council and high-ranking staff members on staying within legal pa-
questions Deitsch was exploring that centered on the pursuit of sister city ties with Chinese municipalities and rules pertaining to gifts to officials ranging from monetary donations for travel expenses to meals and lodging from Chinese governmental entities. While officials highlighted greater cultural understanding and sister city relationships as the trip's primary focus, the FPPC advice letter reveals that

San Gabriel Follows Residents' Wish to Recount Election Ballots Continued from page 1
March 19, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in the City Council Chambers, 425 S Mission Drive. The count will be completed by the end of the day. Although the recount would typically be paid for by the requesting party, the city has agreed to incur all costs. The cost is estimated to be about $4,000. City officials remain in consultation with the city attorney and elections consultant Martin and Chapman. “The City Clerk’s Office has responded promptly to the request for manual recount,” City Clerk Eleanor K. Andrews said. “The city will also absorb the cost of the recount as part of its continuing commitment to a transparent
and accurate election process. It’s just the right thing to do.” Menchaca and Costanzo received an equal number of votes (1,276) in the election, in which voters were asked to choose two city council members from among three candidates. The third candidate, John Harrington, received 1,747 votes. If, after the recount, the tally remains in a tie, the city will move forward with a lot, or random selection process, to break the tie, as delineated by state law (Elections Code 15651). The City Council will determine the manner of lot to be used at its March 17 meeting. Also on March 17,
the Council will be asked to certify the results of the election for the highest vote-getter John Harrington, as well as select a new mayor and vice mayor. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 425 S Mission Drive. The City Hall parking lot has limited space due to construction, but additional parking can be found in the Mission Playhouse parking lot, 320 S Mission Drive.

Audit Says Detectives Used ‘Coercive Interrogation Techniques' Among Other Findings Continued from page 1
equivalent of an Independent Police Auditor because it reviewed the Pasadena PD’s detective operations and, contemporaneously as it audited, it informed the PD of its deficiencies. That’s exactly what the proposal for an Independent Police Auditor reporting to the Public Safety Committee would be doing – but across-the-board for all of the PD operations and not stopping its auditing at an arbitrary moment. “It would cost Pasadena less for a full time Independent Police Auditor than farming audits out to outside agencies and doing limited audits. Pasadena relies upon part-time councilmembers to provide legislative oversight of the PD; the Veritas report documenting detective misconduct dramatically illustrates that – despite all the good things about the PD – there remain serious problems that require meaningful civilian oversight. That oversight can be done more systematically and cheaper with an Independent Police Auditor.” Gronemeier said that “the Veritas Report scathingly condemns the investigation techniques used by Pasadena PD homicide detectives – improper suggestive techniques contaminating photo identifications,
Sanchez acknowledges the 58 recommendations of the audit while at the same time commends his dept. for exemplary police work during his tenure. – File photo by Terry Miller
inaccurate photo ID reporting, improperly coercive interrogation techniques, inconsistent interview recording, faulty investigative documentation, etc. The Veritas audit was prepared before the murder of Joseph Jones, but it reads like a catalogue of the misconduct that led the jury last summer to quickly acquit Rashad McCoy. “There’s been a core group of homicide detectives who believe the end justifies the means who have not been held accountable. Sadly, the jury in the Jones murder trial
recognized that those detectives went after the wrong man, but the Department is in denial. Chief Sanchez responded to my inquiry as to whether the Department had reopened the murder investigation after McCoy was acquitted by saying the PD still believes McCoy was guilty. The Pasadena PD needs to reopen the Jones murder case and prosecute the real killer rather than hiding its head in the sand about these officers’ misconduct.“ The full report is available at publicaffairs/agendas/pubSafety.pdf.

710 Tunnel Not Wanted Continued from page 1
Geoffrey Baum, Joel Bryant, Alan Clelland, Sarah Gavit, David Grannis and Jennifer Higginbotham. The group identified the following specific recommendations that the project should concentrate on: Light Rail Transit (LRT), Expanded Bus Service, Local Street Network (LSN) Improvements, and Bicycle Transit. The March 9 letter said the tunnel option “is not a preferred alternative for Pasadena.” “Whether the tunnel proposal would reduce congestion and north-south corridor travel times rather than simply shift existing traffic onto a newly created route without measurable improvements to the network or positive impact on local traffic in Pasadena could not be determined,” the group noted.
Metro has released the SR-710 Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR) and is now accepting comments on it. Go to http://www.metro.net/projects/sr-710-conversations for more information. Metro will conduct a public hearing on the DEIR in Pasadena on Tuesday, April 14, at the Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E. Green Street. Map viewing will be from 5-6 p.m., followed by the public hearing from 6-9 p.m. The day before Metro’s meeting, the Pasadena City Council will include a discussion about the project and the DEIR during its Monday, April 13, 2015 meeting, also to be held at the Pasadena Convention Center, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Both meetings will be recorded by Pasadena Me-

Monrovia’s World Vision Only Able to Contact 26 of Its 80 Staff Post Cyclone Pam One day after Cyclone Pam slammed into the Pacific islands of Vanuatu, the full extent of the damage remains unknown. However, it is believed that the cyclone may have impacted as much as 50 percent of the country. Early reports indicate that homes are damaged or destroyed, phone lines are unreliable and the airport remains closed to commercial flights. World Vision has only been able to contact 26 of its 80 staff on the island, and the agency is working as quickly as possible to reach the rest of its team on the
ground. The organization’s office was also damaged by the storm, and all operations are currently being run out of the country director’s home. The Category 5 storm also hit a number of remote islands as it moved across the eastern part of the Solomon Islands. This video from World Vision shows the storm hitting the island on Friday, March 14, 2015. “We’ve heard that whole villages have been blown away,” said Chloe Morrison, World Vision’s Emergency Communications Officer in Vanuatu. “The homes have been
completely flattened. They’re just piles of timber, just totally decimated. The wind was so strong it just below away huge chunks of debris.” Make a one-time donation to the Cyclone Pam Relief Fund. A gift will help provide much-needed aid for children and families impacted by Cyclone Pam, including water, essential food items, blankets, tarps and more. Donors can text the keyword CYCLONE to777444 to donate $10 to World Vision's relief efforts for Vanuatu.

Pacilio. “On the supply side, housing inventory improved overall with active listings growing at a faster pace of 5.3 percent when compared to last February. Regionally, both active listings in Southern California and Central Valley increased moderately from last year, while housing supply declined 10 percent in the Bay Area.” The median price of an existing, single-family detached California home was essentially flat from January’s median price, inching up from $426,660 in January to $428,970 in February. February’s median price was 5.5 percent higher than the revised $406,460 recorded in February 2014. While the statewide median home price is higher than a year ago, the rate of increase has narrowed significantly since early 2014. The median sales price is the point at which half of homes sold for more and half sold for less; it is influenced by the types of homes selling as well as a general change in values. “The California housing market regained some traction in February as sales activity improved on a yearover-year basis for the second time in three months,” said A.A.R. CEO Andrew Cooper. “At the state level, the market is moving in the right direction as the growth of sales continues its upward trend and home prices start stabilizing. At the regional
level, however, the San Francisco Bay Area continued to be hampered by constrained inventory and low housing affordability.” Other key facts from C.A.R.’s February 2015 resale housing report include: •The available supply of existing, single-family detached homes for sale statewide in February was unchanged from the 5 months reported in January. The index was 4.7 months in February 2014. The index indicates the number of months needed to sell the supply of homes on the market at the current sales rate. A six- to seven-month supply is considered typical in a normal market. •The median number of days it took to sell a single-family home shortened in February, down from a 52.4 days in January to 47 days in February but up from 40.1 days in February 2014. •According to C.A.R.’s newest housing market indicator measuring sales-to-list price ratio*, properties are again generally selling below the list price, except in the San Francisco Bay Area, where a lack of homes for sale is keeping sales prices in line with original asking prices. The statewide measure suggests that homes are selling at a median of 97.7 percent of the list price, down slightly from a ratio of 98.2 percent at the same time last year. The Bay Area is the only region where
homes are selling above original list prices due to constrained supply with a ratio of 104.2 percent. •The average California price per square foot** for an existing single-family home was $210 in February 2015, an increase of 2.5 percent from the previous month and a 4.1 percent increase from February 2014. Price per square foot at the state level has been showing an upward trend since early 2012, and has been rising on a year-over-year basis for 37 consecutive months. In recent months, however, the growth rate in price per square foot has slowed down significantly as home prices leveled off. San Francisco County had the highest price per square foot in February at $754/sq. ft., followed by San Mateo ($689/sq. ft.), and Santa Clara ($552/sq. ft.). The three counties with the lowest price per square foot in February were Siskiyou ($102/sq. ft.), Tehama ($107/sq. ft.), and Madera ($110/sq. ft.). •Mortgage rates edged up in February, with the 30year, fixed-mortgage interest rate averaging 3.71 percent, up from 3.67 percent in January but down from 4.3 percent in February 2014, according to Freddie Mac. Adjustable-mortgage interest rates also rose in February, averaging 2.43 percent, up from 2.38 percent in January but down from 2.54 percent in February 2014.

real estate investment was another motivating factor for the tip. It refers to plans for official visits to parks, libraries, monuments and other culturally significant places on the national level such as the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square with a fact-finding component geared toward attracting Chinese investment in Arcadia's real estate market. "Your facts indicate the tours will be used to understand development and land use in these cities, particularly any culturally unique aspects," the letter states, citing a Nov. 26 letter the commission received from Deitsch. "The City will use the information obtained to market and seek investment into the City from Chinese and Taiwanese developers looking for real estate investment opportunities within the City. Also, you state that the City will be

The FPPC took a seemingly different view, citing the California Code of Regulations, which specifies the commission's oversight scope. "Funds collected for international travel that include the exploration of a potential sister city relationship in a foreign country does not constitute 'official agency business' pursuant to Regulation 18950.1," Rodriguez wrote. She also concluded that under the facts provided by Deitsch, "We cannot find that payments made by private companies to the City to be used for international travel and accommodations in China for public officials and their spouses fall within the intended parameters of Regulation 18950.1, even if part of the trip involves sis-

The proposed travel to China and Taiwan is one option, but the City Council will be able to use the funds for a different purpose if it so chooses. The FPPC has suggested that the City should only approve the use of the funds after considering other alternatives at a public meeting." After denying requests for interviews with Wallace and Rodriguez, FPPC spokesman Jay Wierenga said via email, "We aren’t going to be able to comment on a city attorney’s letter to their council, as we can only comment on the advice letter we provided."

Total Solar Eclipse to Transpire Amid Vernal Equinox and New Supermoon AccuWeather reports that on Friday, March 20, the vernal equinox will occur once again, marking the gradual return to warmer days in the Northern Hemisphere and winter’s official astronomical end. However, for 2015, the spring equinox will transpire amidst two other celestial events: a total solar eclipse [for some areas] and a new supermoon. “You could call it a cosmic coincidence,” Slooh Observatory Manager Paul Cox said, adding that he will be traveling to the Faroe Islands as part of Slooh’s expedition for the rare eclipse. Slooh will be broad-
casting the entire event live from the Faroe Islands, located in the northern Atlantic Ocean, which will serve as one of the best landbased locations for viewing
the full effect of the eclipse as the moon slides in front of the sun. “Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, in nature is as powerful and spectacular as the totality of a solar eclipse,” Slooh Astronomer Bob Berman said. “Sadly, they only happen every 360 years on average for any given location, which means that a very low percentage of the population has ever seen one.” While the total eclipse will only be visible from areas of the northern Atlantic Ocean, the farther north a person is located in Western Europe, the better visibility they will have, Cox said.

able to better serve its constituency in its planning decisions by better understanding the cultural aspects of urban design." A notable area of the FPPC's analysis and Deutsch's eventual advice to the council centers on whether or not pursuing sister city relationships equates to "official agency business." The FPPC attorneys and Deitsch both cite different California statutes to support their conclusions. "May the City pay for activities related to promotion of a sister city relationship?" Deitsch posits in a Feb. 2 memo to council members. "Yes. Section 37110 of the Government Code specifically authorizes cities to spend funds promoting sister city relationships. To the extent any expenditures are for the development of a sister
ter city relationships." As a way of legally navigating around the prohibition of private funds donated for officials' travel expenses, the $10,000 donations were said to be "unencumbered" and destined for the city's general fund where the money could be used for other expenses that serve the public interest. "The FPPC letter was helpful and gave significant guidance," Deitsch said in an interview. "Our memo is consistent with the FPPC letter." The City Attorney added: "It's not official agency business for purposes of 18950.1 for whether a private corporation can provide funding for travel. The three donations were given to the city's general fund." Deitsch further under-
President Scott Hettrick suggested the option of city staff members utilizing chamber-sponsored trips to key Chinese destinations. "Mayor Wuo and [City Manager Dominic] Lazzaretto said they would consider an option down the road to encourage city staff to take advantage of trips to China organized by the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce and other Chambers all over the country that offer nine-day guided-tour trips to any member of the public ... to the mainland China cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an ... for only $2,199," Hettrick wrote in a blog posting. "Such trips can be assembled on a very quick turnaround — as little as a month in some cases, or can be booked months and even a year or two ahead of time."

Naked Sex Offender Arrested in Arcadia Church Yard A convicted sex offender was arrested Friday after he was found naked, performing various sex acts upon himself at an Arcadia church. Paul Allan McQuown, 55, of Azusa is accused of indecent exposure following Friday’s arrest, which took place shortly after 4 p.m. at the Arcadia Congregational Church, 2607 S. Santa Anita Ave., according to Arcadia police and Los Angeles County booking records. A groundskeeper at the church called police after finding McGuown nude, sitting on the vibrator under some trees on the church property.
Responding police officers found McQuown and took him into custody without further incident. According to Los Angeles County Superior Court records, McGuown has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1992. He already had a pending case for failure to register as a sex offender at the time of his arrest Friday. In the 2000s, McQuown was convicted of lewd conduct in public, possession of drug paraphernalia twice, and possession of a controlled substance. During the 1990s, he was convicted of indecent exposure five times, as well as trespassing.
PLAY REVIEW
Smart People Two Professors, a Physics Genius, and a Stripper Walk Into a Play... What Could Go Wrong? Two worlds clash when Albert Barry (Zac Lape), a 21-year-old genius and physics award winner, brings home his strippergirlfriend Angel (Rivka Rivera) from a conference he attended in Vegas. Albert’s mother Elizabeth (Kathy Bell Denton) is shocked when he decides to delay his professorial position at Harvard for a road trip with his new flame. However, instead of taking off, the couple (along with Albert’s parents) finds themselves in a hostage drama which will change the family’s life. Writer and director Mark Fink, who has contributed to “Full House,” “Perfect Strangers,” “Saved By the Bell” and numerous other Hollywood shows, has crafted an unpredictable dark comedy. All scenes could happen in our daily lives. If they did, hopefully it would be as funny as in the play, which includes jokes for the booksmart as well as the reality show audience. Lape convinces as the
innocent, genius son, charismatically but determinedly rebelling against his mother. Dan Woren plays Albert’s father David, who acts as the understanding, accommodating husband -- the opposite of Denton, portraying the authoritarian character of Albert’s mother who tries but fails to control everyone’s lives. Rivera shows up with revealing outfits and persuades with a loud but hilarious mouth, which cannot even be stopped when her not-toofrightening but convincing troublemaker fiancé Ray (Jared Martzell) appears at the Barry’s home. Though his short performance, John Del Regno as “the Fixer” captures us with his wittiness and nonchalance. If you enjoy dark humor, books, and (secretly) some reality TV, don’t miss this play with constant turns and laughter. “Smart People” runs Saturdays through April 11.
