The Long Beach City Council has voted unanimously to restore Paramedic Rescue 12 and to reinstate the Police Academy, using Public Safety funding from Measure A. The restorations will be effective March 1, and will cost $1.5 million for the remainder of the Fiscal Year, and $2.5 million annually starting in Fiscal Year 2018 ($1.1 million for Paramedic Rescue 12; $1.4 million for Police Academy staffing). “I’m proud that Measure A revenue is being spent exactly on what we told voters
we would spend the funds on, public safety and infrastructure," said Mayor Robert Garcia. "Measure A is working to keep our City safe." The restorations approved Tuesday will add six firefighter and nine police officer positions, for a total of 37 public safety positions restored through Measure A since Long Beach voters approved the temporary sales tax in June 2016 to support public safety and infrastructure. “With these restorations, we will have

The City of Duarte has received the "Best Comprehensive Plan for a Small Jurisdiction" award from the Los Angeles Section of the American Planning Association for its Duarte Town Center Specific Plan. The plan was recognized for its innovative and transformational planning techniques, model land use and economic development policy, and utilization of creative incentive-based zoning as its foundation. The specific plan area extends along Huntington Drive from Buena Vista Street to Highland Avenue to enhance connections to the recently opened Metro Gold Line station. The City used a multi-faceted approach to community involvement and engagement that went far beyond the norm. Developing the Town Center Specific Plan was a truly a community effort. To guarantee full involvement by the community, the City Council appointed a 17-member Town Center Ad Hoc Committee (TCAHC) to provide input as the specific plan and EIR were prepared. The TCAHC was made up of the seven-member Economic Development Commission and two appointees from each of the five Councilmembers. This make up resulted in a group that included residents, business owners and area property owners.
The TCAHC met monthly over a 14-month period and assisted in developing project vision and providing regular input through plan review. The Committee heard presentations on zoning; the area real estate market; new trends in parking and smart growth; and other topics related to plan preparation. Also during the plan development period, the consultant and Staff conducted stakeholder meetings with property owners, business owners and other community partners. When the draft specific plan and EIR were completed, two community workshops and one open house specifically for property owners in the plan area were held. The TCAHC attended the meetings and assisted Staff and the consultant in hosting the meeting and explaining the new plan. As a result of this comprehensive community involvement strategy, a forward-thinking specific plan focused on incentivizing new, quality development emerged. Highlights of the plan include zoning regulations that give development bonuses for property assembly of identified catalyst sites, encouraging development of
