LA County supervisors take next step in General Hospital overhaul By City News Service

NO. 152

A 'delicate matter': Clarence Thomas’ private complaints about money sparked fears he would resign By Justin Elliott, Joshua Kaplan, Alex Mierjeski and Brett Murphy, ProPublica

T

he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors took the next steps Tuesday in a planned overhaul of the historic General Hospital building, with the ultimate goal of providing hundreds of units of affordable housing. The board voted 4-0 to enter into exclusive negotiations with the Centennial Partners development company for the mixed-use project. The board also approved a motion by Supervisor Hilda Solis calling for the negotiations about the future of the building to include a "robust" community engagement process and ensuring county policies such as local-hiring requirements are met during the development. Supervisor Janice Hahn recused herself from the votes because she received a financial contribution from an individual involved in the matter. “The need for affordable housing in Los Angeles County, especially the Eastside, is greater than ever,” Solis said in a statement after the vote. "I am proud to takes this next step to re-purpose a historic county landmark to meet our greatest need." She added, "For years, we have prepared diligently for this milestone by completing the General Hospital Feasibility Study, gathering the necessary community input to bring forward a Request for Proposals, and securing critical seed funding."

Series: Friends of the Court:SCOTUS Justices’ Beneficial Relationships With Billionaire Donors upreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ decadeslong friendship with real estate tycoon Harlan Crow and Samuel Alito’s luxury travel with billionaire Paul Singer have raised questions about influence and ethics at the nation's highest court. In early January 2000, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was at a five-star beach resort in Sea Island, Georgia, hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. After almost a decade on the court, Thomas had grown frustrated with his financial situation, according to friends. He had recently started raising his young grandnephew, and Thomas’ wife was soliciting advice on how to handle the new expenses. The month before, the justice had borrowed $267,000 from a friend to buy a high-end RV. At the resort, Thomas gave a speech at an off-the-record conservative conference. He found himself seated next to a Republican member of Congress on the flight home. The two men talked, and the lawmaker left the conversation worried that Thomas might resign. Congress should give Supreme Court justices a pay raise, Thomas told him. If lawmakers didn’t act, “one or more justices will leave soon” — maybe in the next year. At the time, Thomas’ salary was $173,600, equivalent to over $300,000 today. But he was one of the least wealthy members of the court, and on multiple occasions in that period, he pushed for ways to make more money. In other private conversations, Thomas repeatedly talked about removing a ban on justices giving paid speeches. Thomas’ efforts were described in records from the time obtained by ProPublica, including a confidential memo to Chief Justice William Rehnquist from a top judiciary official seeking guidance on what he termed a “delicate matter.” The documents, as well as interviews, offer insight into how Thomas was talking about his finances in a crucial period in his tenure, just as he was developing his relationships with a set of wealthy benefactors. Congress never lifted the ban on speaking fees or gave the justices a major raise. But in the years that followed, as ProPublica has reported, Thomas accepted a stream of gifts from friends and acquaintances that appears to be unparal-

According to Solis, the historic General Hospital building has served as a "symbol of health innovation" in the county for decades, and the project will extend its legacy as a site for "healing and community." The board confirmed and gave its Department of Economic Opportunity authority to enter into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Centennial Partners. The initial proposal between the two parties calls for a contract agreement of an 18-month term, with as many as four additional 90-day periods. According to Solis' office, during the negotiating period, the county and Centennial Partners will negotiate the terms of the agreement for the adaptive reuse of the historic General Hospital building and the development of neighboring underutilized county-owned land. During that process,

the county and developer will also continue community engagement efforts. Under Solis' motiong, the developer will also be required to meet or exceed Local Targeted Worker Hire requirements, which aims for a minimum of 30% and 10% participation, respectively, for local and targeted workers' hours during construction, respectively. The board passed an additional motion Tuesday to advance the next phases of development on the campus, which will feature a Mental Health Urgent Care Center, a Residential Withdrawal Management Facility, and a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, addressing both pressing and subacute mental health needs as well as substance use issues. The Mental Health Urgent Care Center will help

decompress overcrowded Emergency Departments while providing urgent behavioral health services, while the Residential Withdrawal Management Facility will feature 32 beds for those with substance use needs -including sobering services and case management. The Mental Health Rehabilitation Center will feature 128 subacute beds, providing a long-term caredriven setting for residents with pressing mental health needs. In a statement following the vote, Mayor Karen Bass hailed the board's action. "Los Angeles General has always served our most vulnerable and as someone who once worked there, I am proud that the grounds will continue to serve this city," Bass said in a statement.

T

he Los Angeles City Clerk's Office Friday released the official list of 31 candidates who have qualified to appear on the ballot for the March 2024 election. In 2024, even-numbered city council district seats will be up for election -- a total of seven seats. In the Second District, council President Paul Krekorian will be unable to run for reelection due to term limits. The race to represent the Second District, which encompasses North Hollywood and other parts of the eastern San Fernando Valley, will be highly contested as seven individuals seek election. Candidates include Jon-Paul Bird, a mental health professional; Jillian Burgos, small business owner; Marin Ghandilyan, lawyer; Rudy Melendez, laborer/artist; Manny Gonez, housing advocate/environmentalist; Sam Kbushyan, state commissioner and small business owner; and Adrin Nazarian, a state labor board member and former state assembly member. In the Fourth District, incumbent Councilwoman Nithya Raman will look to hold onto her seat, as Levon "Lev" Baronian, an engineer and neighborhood council member, and Ethan Weaver, a deputy city attorney, will look to unseat her. The Fourth District consists of central Los Angeles, the southern San Fernando Valley and the eastern Santa Monica Mountains. In the Sixth District, following the resignation of former Councilwoman Martinez after her involvement in a racially charged leaked audio recording, voters were able to elect Councilwoman Imelda Padilla in June, who then officially took office in July. Padilla will look to remain in her seat as the representative of northern parts of the SFV such as Van Nuys, Panorama City and others. Two challenges

-- Ely De La Cruz Ayao, real estate broker; and Carmenlina Minasova, respiratory care practitioner -- will seek election to that position. In the Eighth District, incumbent Marqueece Harris-Dawson will be challenged by Jahan Epps, real estate broker; and Cliff Smith, a union community organizer. The Eighth District encompasses several south L.A. neighborhoods. In the Tenth District, Heather Hutt -- who was appointed to represent neighborhoods in central and south L.A. after former Councilman Mark RidleyThomas was suspended and later removed after being convicted in a federal bribery case -- is aiming to be elected for a full term. However, she will face four challengers in the March election -- Eddie Anderson, a pastor and community organizer; Reggie Jones-Sawyer, a state assembly member; Aura Vasquez, a city commissioner and environmentalist; and Grace Yoo, an attorney and neighborhood council member. In the Twelfth District, incumbent Councilman John Lee will face off challenger Serena Oberstein, a nonprofit policy executive and former president of the City Ethics Commission. Lee, who was previ-

ously the chief of staff for former Councilman Mitch Englander, who represented the 12th District, was elected to represent the same district following Englander's departure. Englander was later indicted for corruption charges stemming from a 2017 trip to Las Vegas. Lee is now facing a City Ethics Commission investigation for the same trip. The commission has accused Lee of ethics violations related to failing to disclose gifts, misuse of his position, accepting excess gifts and aiding and abetting misuse of position related to the same 2017 trip to Las Vegas. The councilman has denied the accusations and any wrongdoing. He issued a lawsuit against the City Ethics Commission, citing the investigation is being used as means to sway voters in the 2024 March election. The 12th District stretches across the northwestern parts of the SFV, such as Chatsworth, Granada Hills, Northridge, Porter Ranch, North Hills, West Hills and Reseda. Last, in the 14th District, incumbent Councilman Kevin de León is seeking another four-year term, though his seat will be highly contested as seven challengers are looking to

replace him at City Hall. Challengers -- Genny Guerrero, a community advocate; Teresa Hillery, an attorney; Ysabel Jurado, a tenants rights attorney; Wendy Carrillo, a state assembly member; Eduardo "Lalo" Vargas, a public school teacher; Miguel Santiago, a state assembly member; and Nadine Diaz, a health care professional - - will be looking to oust de León. De León, who was one of three council members that participated in the leaked audio recording that upended City Hall proceedings in 2022. While the other two, which included Martinez, left city council, de León was able to endure calls for his resignation and remain on the council. However, the councilman was stripped of his committee assignments. Over the course of the year, de León has been able to pass motions with support of a few of his colleagues on the city council. De León will most likely face criticisms from challengers over his involvement in the leaked audio. According to the City Clerk's office, the candidates qualified to run in the March election after having collected at least 500 valid voter signatures and paid a $300 filing fee by Dec. 6, or by gathering at least 1,000 valid voter signatures.

Alan Wake II review (PC): The Pulitzer Prize By Eloin Barahona Garcia

“

Alan Wake” was one of the unsung heroes of the Xbox 360 and PC in 2010. If you were a huge fan of horror games, you more than likely picked this and “Alan Wake’s American Nightmare,” a side story game, at some point in the 360’s lifespan. The original game isn’t perfect, but it exists in that particular space of gaming where you can tell something, while very flawed, was made with lots of love. The writing is fun and strange while the gameplay was just tense enough to keep you on your toes. Developer Remedy Entertainment would quietly shelve the IP for years due to business difficulties until out of the blue, “Alan Wake II” was announced at The Game Awards in 2021. Now, almost 13 years since the original game came out, we’ve got the sequel in our hands. Was the 13-year wait worth it? Most definitely. A Dark Beauty “Alan Wake II” is a gorgeous game. Environments are breathtaking. Everything from dark, brooding dream-like cities to lively, homey small towns just feel completely real. And it's all compounded with the excellent lighting system that is a core component of the games’ aesthetic. The way lights dance off the surfaces of dark rooms and illuminate the eerie forested areas is truly astounding. Environments shift and twist in interesting ways to create a sense of unease and even distrust. A simple apartment complex you explore later goes from creepy to nuts with some shifts in art design, audio cues and good old-fashioned creepy music to make everything feel unsettling. Enemies speak in either hushed whispers or violent non-sequiturs that will tickle the ear in an unsettling way. That’s not to say that the audio is all just creepy ambience. There are some absolute show stopping music tracks in the game that will make you pause

and listen for a bit. Finnish band Poets of the Fall do a great job of creating some serious earworms that will stick with you days after you put the game down. There are other artists that have contributed to the game’s soundtrack but these guys steal the show every time a rock and roll segment shows up in the game. Light Em’ Up Light is your friend here. You’ll have to learn how to use it wisely in order to survive everything the game throws at you. The main mechanic is simple: charge your flashlight at an approaching enemy to rip off a “darkness shield” they have on and fire away with your gun. In the first game, this mechanic was supplanted by constant refills of ammunition and batteries for your flashlight. At first, supplies are a lot more limited than in the first game, as you get maybe a handful of any given thing at a time. For a while, it feels like proper survival horror. But after a certain point, you’ll discover that the game is a lot more forgiving than expected. Even playing on Hard Mode, the game will drop the occasional box of ammo from dead enemies. By the end of the game, you’ll be inundated with tons of supplies. Depending on how pure you like your survival horror experience, you might feel a little cheated on the challenge available. But even with the rather blunted difficulty, the game is still very engaging from start to finish. Aside from combat, there’s plenty of exploration and puzzles as a nice distraction from the relentless enemies. You’ll get to explore the entirety of the game’s setting of “Bright Falls” and the otherworldly space known as “The Dark Place.” No one location looks the same and each features their own set of locations to keep things fresh. Most notably, you’ll be able to switch between the two protagonists, Alan Wake and Saga

Anderson, after a certain point in the game. Each character has their own set of weapons to collect, upgrades to obtain, and story beats to experience in whatever order you want. Saga’s sections are set in the town of Bright Falls while Alan explores the twisted world of The Dark Place. Both offer something unique, namely the ways in which each character interacts with the world around them. Saga, being a detective, has a “Mind Place” to enter into whenever she wants. In it, you can upgrade her abilities, look at collectibles you’ve obtained, profile suspects and sort clues in order to reach new objectives. Alan has the “Writer’s Room,” which is similar in function to Saga’s Mind Place but with the added mechanic of being able to shape the world around him with words. Being a writer in a supernatural realm lets him twist the scenery with applicable subjects to different “scenes” he encounters in his sections. As an example (not in the game), you could have the phrase “Train Derailment” and can apply it to the Train Station you’re currently looking at which will cause the train to be suddenly derailed. As such, Alan’s sections feel very refreshing despite still being structured like Saga’s; the shaping of the world around you makes for some engaging and visually spectacular moments of gameplay. A Wordsmith’s War The story of Alan Wake has been a strange, twisted, and fun ride since 2010. The

first game is probably the most straightforward entry. In it, protagonist Alan Wake is trapped in the aforementioned Dark Place at the end of the game. The sequel takes place 13 years later, opening with FBI Agents Saga Anderson and Alex Casey arriving in Bright Falls to investigate a series of ritualistic murders. Soon after arriving, they find themselves wrapped up in the strangeness of the town and Alan’s attempts to finally escape The Dark Place. While the premise might seem pretty fantastical, know that it’s only the tip of the iceberg. The story of “Alan Wake II” has many twists and turns that will keep you guessing as to where things are going to go. The story sometimes uses different mediums such as music or film to convey extra details. One moment you’re watching a television-spouting exposition and the next you’re participating in a Broadwayworthy musical number. The mix of mediums lends itself well to the sometimes surreal and chaotic reality that “Alan Wake II” presents us with. While some might find this overwhelming, others will find it invigorating and exciting. If you’re a fan of crime dramas and David Lynch, this story will keep your attention. Keeping us grounded in all of the madness is the new protagonist, Saga. Despite not being the most complex of characters, her cool demeanor and odd bad pun break up the intensity of the horror. She starts the game as a confident, self-assured special agent that is tested

as the events of the game start to twist her place in the world. You’ll want to see Saga make it out unscathed by the end of the game. In contrast, Alan Wake himself is morose and belligerent because of his time in The Dark Place, and as such is not as approachable as Saga. His sections are a lot more surreal as the environment twists and turns to torture him emotionally and psychologically. He himself feels like he’s slowly drowning in misery as the toll of his situation weighs on him greatly, which is a huge departure from the original game. Back then, he was resolved to escape The Dark Place and return to his wife. While those motivations are still here in the sequel, they’re punctuated by the ever growing dread of the escalating horror. By the end of the game, Alan’s story leads him to some pretty dark places (pun completely intended). That’s not to say there’s no fun to be had in this horror story. Saga’s banter with her partner, Alex Casey, is very endearing and serves as another bit of respite from the terror. Their relationship and the quirky town of Bright Falls lets the game really shine as being just a good time. The inhabitants you can directly talk to have plenty of interesting things to say about the events taking place and the town itself. This levity really helps the horror shine when it rears its head out of nowhere. And in those moments, we see our protagonists shine as they’re constantly placed on the backfoot when faced

with this immense supernatural threat. The only complaint with the story is that its antagonist (Mr. Scratch) is not as entertaining as he was in previous games. Without spoiling too much, “Mr. Scratch’s” presence here feels more like a force of nature rather than a malevolent entity. It makes for solid horror but loses the fun personality he had in the first game and American Nightmare. Return of the King To say “Alan Wake II” is a successful return to form for the game would be an understatement. It’s almost unheard of for a long-awaited sequel to a dormant but beloved game to be as triumphant as this. A story 13 years in the making not only arrived, but also exceeded the expectations of fans by using two protagonists. That in and of itself is impressive, as balancing a story around one character can be tricky for even the most seasoned writers. But creating an engaging story around two is a monumental feat. To also have the game be a lengthy 20 hours on an average playthrough and be engaging to play the whole while just adds to the feat. Without a doubt, if you want a game to not just be scary but refreshingly bold and entertaining as well, know you’re in good hands with this one. “Alan Wake II” is one for the history books as one of the best sequels to ever exist. Make sure you have played the original game, its extra content, and American Nightmare to fully understand everything. Otherwise, you might be in for a rude awakening.

Hunter Biden to appear in LA federal court in January in tax case

To me, one of the worst misfortunes in any society is when government officials, from heads of state to police officers, abuse their authority. I suspect that a few police officers take the effort to graduate from law enforcement academies as a way to misuse their duties. Those people, in my opinion, are nothing more than street thugs masquerading as peace officers. I praise Judge Percy Anderson for not showing sympathy for ex-sheriff deputy Miguel Vega, despite his remorse for his misconduct. I only hope that other officers who are tempted to pervert their duty, will instead use their better judgment, which I’m sure prevails in their training. David Quintero Monrovia

resident Joe Biden's sonHunter is expected to make his initial appearance Jan. 11 in Los Angeles federal court on tax charges. Hunter Biden was charged in an indictment released Dec. 7 on nine federal tax charges for allegedly refusing to pay his taxes, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Biden, 53, of Malibu, "spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills," the indictment alleges. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement that "based on the facts and the law, if Hunter's last name was anything other than Biden, the charges in Delaware, and now California, would not have been brought." Between 2016 and Oct. 15,

2020, "the defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes," according to the 56-page indictment. Hunter Biden faces as many as 17 years in prison if convicted of all the charges. He faces three felony counts, including tax evasion, and six misdemeanor counts of failure to pay taxes. It is not known if he will be asked to enter a plea at his initial court appearance next month in downtown Los Angeles. The president's son is also under indictment on federal gun charges in Delaware federal court. In July, he had agreed to plead guilty there

to two misdemeanor tax counts and acknowledge a firearms violation without a conviction, receiving no jail time. But the deal collapsed when a federal judge questioned its terms and refused to sign off on it. "Now, after five years of investigating with no new evidence -- and two years after Hunter paid his taxes in full -- the U.S. Attorney has piled on nine new charges when he had agreed just months ago to resolve this matter with a pair of misdemeanors," Lowell said after the Los Angeles charges were announced. Described in the indictment as a Georgetown- and Yale-educated lawyer, lobbyist, consultant and businessperson, Hunter Biden served on the board

of a Ukrainian industrial conglomerate and a Chinese private equity fund during the time of the tax allegations. "He negotiated and executed contracts and agreements for business and legal services that paid millions of dollars of compensation to him and/or his domestic corporations, Owasco PC and Owasco LLC," according to the indictment. In addition to his business interests, the defendant was an employee of a multinational law firm, the document states. At the time of the now-defunct plea deal in Delaware, Biden said he had forgotten to pay his taxes during a period when he was in the grip of drug addiction.

Rose Parade opening performers announced By City News Service

D

estiny's Child icon Michelle Williams and "The Voice" champion Cassadee Pope will be among the musical acts performing in the 2024 Rose Parade Opening Spectacular to begin the floral procession down Colorado Boulevard, the Tournament of Roses announced Friday. Williams and Pope will be joined in the opening act by "American Idol" alum David Archuleta and Los Angeles singer/songwriter/producer Rush Davis. They will perform on the Rose Parade opening stage, alongside the Honda float themed "Keep Dreaming." "Together, these four

musical luminaries merge their talents to create an ensemble set to captivate, mesmerize, and ignite the stage with an electric fusion of their unique styles, setting the tone for the magnificence of the Rose Parade," according to a statement from the Tournament of Roses. The 135th Rose Parade on Jan. 1 is themed "Celebrating a World of Music: The Universal Language." Earlier this week, the Tournament of Roses announced that a midparade performance presented by Explore Louisiana, not surprisingly featuring a trio of Louisiana artists. Set to perform are Grammy-

nominated Zydeco artist Sean Ardoin, Cajun fiddler Amanda Shaw and guitarist James Burton. Tournament officials said

the trio will be joined by a "cast of colorful characters." "Dressed in traditional gold, purple and green Mardi Gras costumes, dancers, stilt

walkers, brass band musicians and a host of vibrant characters, including festival queens in their formal gowns, make this perfor-

mance what will surely be one of the most joyful and inviting performance of the parade," Tournament officials said.

UCSD study finds link between blood compounds, depression By City News Service

U

C San Diego School of Medicine researchers have discovered a connection between cellular metabolism and depression, finding compounds in the blood of those with depression and suicidal thoughts, according to research published Friday. The findings, published in Translational Psychiatry, reveal that measuring those markers of cellular metabolism could be a vital approach to studying mental illnesses and developing new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent them. "Mental illnesses like depression have impacts and drivers well beyond the brain," Dr. Robert Naviaux, professor in the Department of Medicine, Pediatrics and Pathology at the UCSD medical school, said in a statement. "Prior to about 10 years ago, it was difficult to study how the chemistry of the whole body influences our behavior and state of mind, but modern technologies like metabolomics are helping us listen in on cells' conversations in their native tongue, which is biochemis-

try." Major depressive disorder affects 16.1 million adults in the United States and costs $210 billion annually, the researchers write. While the primary symptoms of depression are psychological, Friday's study helps further the idea that depression is a complex disease with physical effects throughout the body. While many people with depression experience improvement with psychotherapy and medication, some people's depression is treatment-refractory, meaning treatment has little to no impact, the authors write. Suicidal thoughts are experienced by the majority of patients with treatmentrefractory depression, and as many as 30% will attempt suicide at least once in their lifetime. "We're seeing a significant rise in midlife mortality in the United States, and increased suicide incidence is one of many things driving that trend," Naviaux said. "Tools that could help us stratify people based on their risk of becoming suicidal

could help us save lives." The researchers analyzed the blood of 99 study participants with treatment-refractory depression and suicidal ideation, as well as an equal number of healthy controls. Among the hundreds of different biochemicals circulating in the blood of these individuals, they found that five could be used as a biomarker to classify patients with treatmentrefractory depression and suicidal ideation. However, which five could be used differed between men and women. "If we have 100 people who either don't have depression or who have depression and suicidal ideation, we would be able to correctly identify 85-90 of those at greatest risk based on five metabolites in males and another five metabolites in females," Naviaux said. "This could be important in terms of diagnostics, but it also opens up a broader conversation in the field about what's actually leading to these metabolic changes." Some metabolic markers of suicidal ideation were

consistent across both sexes. This included biomarkers for mitochondrial dysfunction, which occurs when the energy-producing structures of our cells malfunction. Mitochondria produce ATP, the primary energy currency of all cells. ATP is also an important molecule for cell-to-cell communication, and the researchers wrote it is this function that is most dysregulated in people with suicidal ideation. Because some of the

metabolic deficiencies identified in the study were in compounds that are available as supplements, such as folate and carnitine, the researchers are interested in exploring the possibility of individualizing depression treatment with these compounds to help fill in the gaps in metabolism that are needed for recovery. However, Naviaux said these supplements are not cures. "If we can find ways to treat depression and suicidal

ideation on a metabolic level, we may also help improve outcomes for the many diseases that lead to depression," he said. "Many chronic illnesses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome, are not lethal themselves unless they lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. If metabolomics can be used to identify the people at greatest risk, it could ultimately help us save more lives."

PLACE OF PRE-QUALIFICATION STATEMENT RECIEPT: City of Monrovia City Clerck’s Office, City Hall, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Monrovia (City), County of Los Angeles, California, will receive up to, but not later than the time set forth above, Pre-Qualification Statement for construction projects over $5 million dollars. The Pre-Qualification Statement must be placed in a sealed package with the following information included in the lower left corner of the package. PRE-QUALIFICATION STATEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OVER $5 MILLION DOLLARS. OBTAINING PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENTS: Pre-Qualification documents may be obtained at no cost at the Public Works Department, City of Monrovia, 600 S. Mountain Ave., Monrovia, Ca. 91016 or by email at james.merrell@merrelljohnson.com. A.

Mandatory Pre-Qualification of Bidders:

The City has determined that all bidders for construction projects over $5 million dollars to be undertaken by the City must be prequalified prior to submitting a bid. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid fully complete the pre-qualification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be pre-qualified by the City. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a joint venture or expect to submit a bid as part of a joint venture, each entity within the joint venture must be separately pre-qualified to bid. Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire, and all requested additional documentation, are required. The City will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors to determine if the Contractor is qualified to bid on the Project. The City reserves the right to check other sources available. The City’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. Complete information regarding the pre-qualification process is included in the pre-qualification package. The City reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualification rating based on subsequently learned information. While it is the intent of the pre-qualification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the City in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the City in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of pre-qualification, nor any pre-qualification rating, will preclude the City from a post bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness. The City may refuse to grant pre-qualification where all of the requested information and materials are not provided by the pre-qualification statement deadline or are not provided at all. There is no appeal from a refusal of an incomplete or late application. The pre-qualification packages (questionnaire answers and financial statements) submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. The contents may be disclosed to third parties, however, for the purpose of verification, or investigation of the substantial allegations, or in the appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of the Contractors applying for pre-qualification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose. Each Questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form by the individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by the Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the City and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury. B.

Contractor’s License:

In accordance with provisions of Section 3300 of the California Public Contract Code, the City has determined that the Contractor shall possess a combination of the following California contractor’s licenses: 1. 2.

A: General Engineering Contractor B: General Building Contractor

Failure to possess such licenses will render the pre-qualification Statement non-responsive and result in a contractor being found not qualified for bidding on this project. C.

Prevailing Wages and Bonds:

The projects that the Contractor will ultimately be bidding on are “public works” under Labor Code Section 1720 to which prevailing wages apply. Once the bid packets are available, the prevailing wage rates will be on file at City Hall and will be made available to any party upon request. The submission of a bid will require a cash deposit, a certified or cashier’s check, or a bid bond in the amount of not less than ten percent (10%) of the total bid submitted. Upon execution of the contract with the City, the Contractor will be required to submit both a labor and materials bond and a faithful performance bond, each in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the total contract amount. D.

Contractor’s Qualifications:

Prospective bidders should review the qualifications requirements described in the Pre-Qualification Statement prior to any further inquiry. Among other requirements, Contractors must have substantial experience. E.

Gladys Avenue The property owner, Alex Alvarez, seeks to file an application with the Local Agency Formation Commission for the County of Los Angeles (LAFCO) to initiate proceedings for the change of organization that includes the annexation and pre-zoning of the property located at 5623 N. Gladys Avenue in the County of Los Angeles to the City of San Gabriel. The property is located on the west side of N. Gladys Avenue, between E. Las Tunas Drive to the north and E. Live Oak Street to the south. The subject property is 7,500 square feet in size and is currently developed with an 873 square feet onestory single-family dwelling and a detached garage. The property is the only remaining Los Angeles County property on the block and the only remaining residentially-developed property on the block. On the Los Angeles County Zoning Map, the property is zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential). The subject property is located within San Gabriel's Sphere of Influence. The property owner also owns the remaining nine parcels within the block, between E. Las Tunas Drive to the north, E. Live Oak Avenue to the south, S. San Gabriel Boulevard to the west, and N. Gladys Avenue to the east. Ordinance No. 699 was approved for introduction and first reading at the City Council Regular Meeting of December 19, 2023, by the following vote: Ayes: Noes, Abstain, Absent:

Councilmember(s)- Chan, Ding, Menchaca, Wu, Harrington Councilmember(s)- None

City of San Gabriel Summary of Ordinance - Ordinance No. 700 An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Gabriel, California, Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and approving Planning Case Nos. ZC22-001, DA22-001, and TMAP22-015 to amend an existing Planning Development Overlay Zone, Development Agreement, and Revised Tentative Tract Map No. 73153 for a Mixed-Use Development located at 201-217 S. San Gabriel Boulevard The project site is located west of San Gabriel Boulevard and east of South Pine Street, between East Live Oak Street to the north and East Broadway to the south. The site has frontage on three streets, including San Gabriel Boulevard, Live Oak Street, and Pine Street. The site was previously developed with a mixture of commercial uses and single-family dwellings. The property is currently vacant. Demolition permits were issued in 2019. The property is designated General Commercial in the General Plan, and zoned Retail Commercial/Planned Development Overlay (C-1/PD). The lot size is 125,852 square feet (2.89 acres) net area (excluding the Rubio Wash). During the past year, concrete and shoring costs substantially increased and the current approved project does not allow enough offset to make the project viable. The ownership made the decision to study and move forward with the proposed amendments to enable the project to move forward with bank financing, which is currently infeasible. This is a request to amend an existing Planned Development Overlay Zone (PD) over an existing C-1 (Retail Commercial) zoning designation of the subject site, a Development Agreement (DA), and revised Tentative Tract Map No. 73753 to allow for the subdivision of air space for residential condominium

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 4569 WHITNEY DRIVE, EL MONTE, CA 91731 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and

authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee's Sale or visit the Internet Website address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000987-23-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000987-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

'Delicate matter' leled in the modern history of the Supreme Court. Some defrayed living expenses large and small — private school tuition, vehicle batteries, tires. Other gifts from a coterie of ultrarich men supplemented his lifestyle, such as free international vacations on the private jet and superyacht of Dallas real estate billionaire Harlan Crow. Precisely what led so many people to offer Thomas money and other gifts remains an open question. There’s no evidence the justice ever raised the specter of resigning with Crow or his other wealthy benefactors. George Priest, a Yale Law School professor who has vacationed with Thomas and Crow, told ProPublica he believes Crow’s generosity was not intended to influence Thomas’ views but rather to make his life more comfortable. “He views Thomas as a Supreme Court justice as having a limited salary,” Priest said. “So he provides benefits for him.” Thomas and Crow didn’t respond to questions for this story. Crow, a major Republican donor, has not had cases at the Supreme Court since Thomas joined it and has previously said Thomas is a dear friend. David Sokol, a conservative financier who has taken Thomas on vacation on a private jet, said in a statement that he and Thomas had never discussed the justice’s finances or when he might retire. Thomas’ comments in 2000 were to Florida Rep. Cliff Stearns, a vocal conservative who’d been in Congress for 11 years and occasionally socialized with the justice. They set off a flurry of activity across the judiciary and Capitol Hill. “His importance as a conservative was paramount,” Stearns said in a recent interview. “We wanted to make sure he felt comfortable in his job and he was being paid properly.” There’s an often-criticized dynamic surrounding most important jobs in the federal govern-

ment: The posts pay far less than comparable jobs in the private sector, but officials can cash in once they leave. Ex-regulators sell advice to the regulated. Generals retire to join military contractors. Former senators get jobs lobbying Congress. But there is no revolving-door payday waiting on the other side of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Justices generally stay on the bench past their 80th birthday, if not until death. In 2000, justices were paid more than cabinet secretaries or members of Congress, and far more than the average American. Still, judges’ salaries were not keeping pace with inflation, a source of ire throughout the federal judiciary. Young associates at top law firms made more than Supreme Court justices, while partners at the firms could earn millions a year. Some of Thomas’ colleagues were extremely wealthy — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was married to a high-paid tax lawyer and Justice Stephen Breyer to the daughter of a wealthy British lord. Thomas did not come from money. When he was appointed to the court in 1991, he was 43 years old and had spent almost all his adult life working for the government. At the time, he still had student loans from law school, Thomas has said. The full details of Thomas’ finances over the years remain unclear. He made at least two big purchases around the early ’90s: a Corvette and a house in the Virginia suburbs on 5 acres of land. When Thomas and his wife, Ginni, bought the home for $522,000 a year after he joined the court, they borrowed all but $8,000, less than 2% of the purchase price, property records show. Public records suggest a degree of financial strain. Throughout the first decade of his tenure, the couple regularly borrowed more money, including a $100,000 credit line on their house and a consumer loan of up to $50,000. Around January 1998, Thomas’ life changed

when he took in his 6-yearold grandnephew, becoming his legal guardian and raising him as a son. The Thomases sent the child to a series of private schools. In early January 2000, Thomas took the trip to the Georgia beach resort. Thomas was there to deliver a keynote speech at Awakening, a “conservative thought weekend” featuring golf, shooting lessons and aromatherapy along with panel discussions with businessmen and elected officials. (A founder and organizer of the annual event, Ernest Taylor, told ProPublica that Thomas’ trip was paid for by the organization. Thomas reported 11 free trips that year on his annual financial disclosure, mostly to colleges and universities, but did not disclose attending the conservative conference, an apparent violation of federal disclosure law.) On a commercial flight back from Awakening, Thomas brought up the prospect of justices resigning to Stearns, the Republican lawmaker. Worried, Stearns wrote a letter to Thomas after the flight promising “to look into a bill to raise the salaries of members of The Supreme Court.” “As we agreed, it is worth a lot to Americans to have the constitution properly interpreted,” Stearns wrote. “We must have the proper incentives here, too.” Stearns’ office soon sought help from a lobbying firm working on the issue, and he delivered a speech on the House floor about judges’ salaries getting eroded by inflation. Thomas’

warning about resignations was relayed at a meeting of the heads of several judges’ associations. L. Ralph Mecham, then the judiciary’s top administrative official, fired off the memo describing Thomas’ complaints to Rehnquist, his boss. “I understand that Justice Thomas clearly told him that in his view departures would occur within the next year or so,” Mecham wrote of Thomas’ conversation with Stearns. Mecham worried that “from a tactical point of view,” congressional Democrats might oppose a raise if they sensed “the apparent purpose is to keep Justices [Antonin] Scalia and Thomas on the Court.” (Scalia had nine children and was also one of the less wealthy justices. Scalia, Mecham and Rehnquist have since died.) It’s not clear if Rehnquist ever responded. Several months later, Rehnquist focused his annual year-end report on what he called “the most pressing issue facing the Judiciary: the need to increase judicial salaries.” Several people close to Thomas told ProPublica they believed that it was implausible the justice would ever retire early, and that he may have exaggerated his concerns to bolster the case for a raise. But around 2000, chatter that Thomas was dissatisfied about money circulated through conservative legal circles and on Capitol Hill, according to interviews with prominent attorneys, former members of Congress and Thomas’ friends. “It was clear he was

unhappy with his financial situation and his salary,” one friend said. Former Sen. Trent Lott, then the Republican Senate majority leader, recalled in a recent interview that there were serious concerns at the time that Thomas or other justices would leave. The public received hardly a hint that such conversations about Thomas were unfolding in Washington. Thomas did once allude to government salaries, in a 2001 speech praising the value of public service. “The job is not worth doing for what they pay. It’s not worth doing for the grief,” he said. “But it is worth doing for the principle.” Around that time, Thomas was also pushing to allow justices to make paid speeches — a source of income that had been banned in the 1980s. On several occasions, Thomas discussed lifting the ban with appellate Judge David Hansen, who chaired the judiciary’s committee responsible for lobbying Congress on issues like pay, according to Mecham’s memo. At Sen. Mitch McConnell’s request, a provision removing the ban for judges was quietly inserted into a spending bill in mid-2000. Why McConnell made the proposal became a subject of scrutiny in the legal press. After the Legal Times reported the measure had been dubbed the “Keep Scalia on the Court” bill, Scalia responded that the “honorarium ban makes no difference to me” and denied that he would ever leave the court for financial reasons. (The ban was never lifted. McConnell did not respond to a request for comment.) During his second decade on the court, Thomas’ financial situation appears to have markedly improved. In 2003, he received the first payments of a $1.5 million advance for his memoir, a record-breaking sum for justices at the time. Ginni Thomas, who had been a congressional staffer, was by then working at the Heritage Foundation

and was paid a salary in the low six figures. Thomas also received dozens of expensive gifts throughout the 2000s, sometimes coming from people he’d met only shortly before. Thomas met Earl Dixon, the owner of a Florida pest control company, while getting his RV serviced outside Tampa in 2001, according to the Thomas biography “Supreme Discomfort.” The next year, Dixon gave Thomas $5,000 to put toward his grandnephew’s tuition. Thomas reported the payment in his annual disclosure filing. Larger gifts went undisclosed. Crow paid for two years of private high school, which tuition rates indicate would’ve cost roughly $100,000. In 2008, another wealthy friend forgave “a substantial amount, or even all” of the principal on the loan Thomas had used to buy the quartermillion dollar RV, according to a recent Senate inquiry prompted by The New York Times’ reporting. Much of the Thomases’ leisure time was also paid for by a small set of billionaire businessmen, who brought the justice and his family on free vacations around the world. (Thomas has said he did not need to disclose the gifts of travel and his lawyer has disputed the Senate findings about the RV.) By 2019, the justices’ pay hadn’t changed beyond keeping up with inflation. But Thomas’ views had apparently transformed from two decades before. That June, during a public appearance, Thomas was asked about salaries at the court. “Oh goodness, I think it’s plenty,” Thomas responded. “My wife and I are doing fine. We don’t live extravagantly, but we are fine.” A few weeks later, Thomas boarded Crow’s private jet to head to Indonesia. He and his wife were off on vacation, an island cruise on Crow’s 162-foot yacht. Republished with Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).

US EPA joins investigation into Chiquita Canyon Landfill violations

LA County advances Southeast LA Cultural Center project

T

he Environmental Protection Agency has joined the investigation into what is causing a potentially dangerous leak and unusual smell from the Chiquita Canyon Landfill near Santa Clarita, and Supervisor Kathryn Barger said she welcomes the national attention. The smell from the landfill has prompted a lawsuit and complaints from nearby residents in the communities of Castaic and Val Verde since July. Barger, the Los Angeles County supervisor who represents that 5th District, issued a statement Wednesday via Helen Chavez, her director of communications, and reported by the Signal following an advisory committee meeting saying the EPA is "bringing resources to the table for an incident that has gone on

for far too long." The South Coast Air Quality Management District postponed a scheduled meeting on Tuesday to discuss the reported violations at the landfill. The meeting has been rescheduled for Jan. 9. The meeting was supposed to address the allegations that the landfill operators knew about a leachate-seepage problem since April, but didn't report it until the AQMD issued a notice to comply in October. The AQMD has issued the Chiquita Canyon Landfill with more than 100 violation notices. The leachate-seepage has expanded since August. Landfill workers reported in April the seepage at the collection facility had spread from the western border of the landfill to the

northern border. One of the announcements made at the advisory committee meeting was a call for testing the Santa Clara River for any potential contamination. Attorneys for the AQMD told the Santa Clarita Valley Signal a miscommunication led to delays in the landfill operators sharing records ahead of the meeting. A group of residents who live near the landfill filed a class-action lawsuit in August claiming the odor has become intense and potentially harmful. Los Angeles County opened a grant program in October to reimburse residents who live near the landfill for high electrical bills. Residents were urged to keep their windows closed and run air conditioning because of the odor from the landfill.

T

he Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a motion directing staffers to develop a work plan for the creation of an arts campus in the South Gate area. Supervisors voted unanimously to instruct the county CEO and representatives of the Departments of Public Works, Arts and Culture, and Parks and Recreation, along with any other relevant departments, to draft a work plan outlining steps to move ahead with the development and operation of the center. The report is due back to the board within 90 days. The Southeast Los Angeles Cultural Center, proposed on countyowned land near the Los Angeles River and the Rio Hondo, is envisioned as a campus of multiple buildings "designed to allow for artistic creations and performances," according to the motion. Supervisor Janice Hahn, who introduced the motion alongside Supervisor Hilda Solis, said she believed it would be the "new jewel" in the county. "For too long this part of

LA County has been underserved in terms of access to arts and culture," Hahn said prior to the vote. "The residents of Southeast LA deserve the same access to arts that other areas of the county have." While the region does not have a facility like Ford Theater, Disney Concert Hall or the County Museum of Art, she added that "the talent and love" for the arts is present in the community. "Southeast LA has no shortage of creativity and culture, but what it does lack is the same access to world-class cultural institutions and investments that other communities have," Hahn said in a statement. "This center is going to showcase and incubate more of the great artistic and cultural assets here in SELA." Hahn represents the Southeast Los Angeles area. Solis represented the area prior to redistricting and was among the original proponents of the project, which has already received more than $124 million in state funding, along with local financial

support. "I'm happy to say that this is something that needs to be done because it's really about equity, inclusion and diversity," Solis said prior to the vote. "It's also making sure that the county takes some responsibility here as well because for so many years SELA has been neglected, and it's time we put them on the map." During public comment, more than 20 people spoke in support of the motion, including Former Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Lakewood, who represented the 62nd Assembly District and Southeast LA County. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that no district is more deserving or more in need of a cultural arts center than this one," said Rendon, who played a significant role in acquiring state funding. He added, "This is an issue of artistic inequity. Southeast LA has a stunning array of local artistic talent, but none of the cultural institutions or resources of other areas of LA."

Lawsuit seeking housing for homeless LA vets moves toward trial By City News Service

A

lawsuit brought by a group of veterans against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, challenging land lease agreements and seeking permanent housing for thousands of homeless veterans on and around the VA's West Los Angeles campus appears to be heading to trial, according to court documents obtained Monday. The 14 plaintiffs allege the VA has failed in its duty to provide housing and health care to veterans with disabilities, leaving nearly 3,500 veterans sleeping nightly on the streets of Los Angeles, according to the November 2022 complaint. In a ruling Thursday, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter denied a defense motion to dismiss the case, and set a scheduling conference for Jan. 4. VA spokesman Gary J. Kunich previously said that while VA doesn't typically comment on pending or ongoing litigation, "we are proud of the work we are doing in Los Angeles and across the nation to end Veteran homelessness." In Los Angeles, the department completed 233 permanent supportive housing units on the West L.A. campus with 199 units occupied as of Sept. 15, Kunich said in September, with 134 tiny shelters, plus six units held for overnight drop-ins. He also described an array of services to address veteran housing instability and homelessness, including outreach and referral services, residential services and help with permanent housing. The plaintiffs say they suffer serious disabilities such as PTSD and traumatic brain injury. They seek to secure coordinated housing and health care services, including permanent supportive housing, for all unhoused veterans with disabilities in the region. Without such housing, "veterans with serious disabilities cannot access desperately needed mental and physical treatment services to which they are entitled," according to the complaint lodged in L.A. federal court. The suit, filed by Los Angeles-based law firms Public Counsel, the Inner City Law Center and others, also seeks a court order prohibiting the VA from using its 388-acre West Los Angeles property for any venture that does not primarily benefit veterans. A 2011 lawsuit also addressed the land-use issue. Although the VA committed to construct 1,200 units of new permanent supportive housing -- 770 of which should have been completed by now -- virtually no such housing has been built as of 2022, according to Public Counsel.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administra-tion authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on January 10, 2024 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 29 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your ap-pearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowl-edgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Jordin Sparks to perform in Rose Parade Grand Finale By City News Service

A

ward-winning singer and former "American Idol" champion Jordin Sparks will perform in the grand finale of the 2024 Rose Parade, the Tournament of Roses announced Tuesday. Sparks will ride in the final float of the parade, which is themed "Celebrating a World of Music," and perform to wrap up the Jan. 1 procession on Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. A Grammy-nominated artist, Sparks has collected BET, American Music and People's Choice awards during her career. She performed on Broadway in Lin- Manuel Miranda's "In the Heights" and again in

the lead role of "Waitress." She also appeared on film opposite Whitney Houston in "Sparkle." The float on which Sparks will ride will feature the Mansion Theatre for the Performing Arts in Branson, Missouri, reflecting the home state of Mansion Entertainment Group, the presenting sponsor of the parade's grand finale. Tournament of Roses officials announced last week that Destiny's Child icon Michelle Williams and "The Voice" champion Cassadee Pope will be among the musical acts performing in the 2024 Rose Parade Opening Spec-

tacular to begin the floral procession. Williams and Pope will be joined in the opening act by "American Idol" alum David Archuleta and Los Angeles singer/songwriter/ producer Rush Davis. They will perform on the Rose Parade opening stage, alongside the Honda float themed "Keep Dreaming." Tournament officials earlier announced that a mid-parade performance presented by Explore Louisiana, not surprisingly featuring a trio of Louisiana artists. Set to perform are Grammy-nominated Zydeco artist Sean Ardoin, Cajun fiddler Amanda Shaw and guitarist James

Burton. Tournament officials said the trio will be joined by a "cast of colorful characters." "Dressed in traditional gold, purple and green Mardi Gras costumes, dancers, stilt walkers, brass band musicians and a host of vibrant characters, including festival queens in their formal gowns, make this performance what will surely be one of the most joyful and inviting performance of the parade," Tournament officials said. The a capella group Straight No Chaser will also perform during the parade, riding aboard the "Enjoy Illinois" float.

LA City Council approves Metro's digital billboard installation plan By City News Service

T

he City Council Friday approved a plan for the installation of about 80 digital billboards on properties owned by Metro throughout the city. Council members voted 10-4 to amend city law to establish the Transportation Communication Network, a Metro program that will establish a network of transportation communication structures and digital displays, equipped with intelligent technology components. Council members Traci Park, Nithya Raman, Katy Yaroslavsky and Eunisses Hernandez voted against the item, and Councilman Curren Price was absent during the meeting. In an earlier vote during Friday's council meeting, council members voted 9-4, with council members Price and Marqueece HarrisDawson absent during the vote. According to a report from City Planning, the new digital displays are intended to "promote roadway effi-

ciency, improve public safety, augment existing communication capacity related to transportation and provide outdoor advertising to generate revenue to fund new and expanded transportation programs." Under the program, nearly 200 existing, nonelectric billboards would be removed in exchange for these new digital signs. The transit agency previously reported that the estimated revenue generated from the program will be about $500 million over 20 years, and it would be split evenly between Metro and the city. Digital billboards will go up at or near city landmarks and Metro stations, such as Union Station, Pershing Square, Universal Studios, LAX and adjacent to freeways. Councilman Kevin de Leon, whose 14th District encompasses areas such as downtown L.A., Boyle Heights and El Serreno, had previous concerns with the plans because his district has

historically "endured billboard lights without reaping any of the tangible community benefits." "This proposal has my support because it finally empowers us to negotiate terms that work to our advantage, like eliminating dozens or more of existing static billboards, especially in residential neighborhoods and relocate new ones near freeways in commercial zones," de Leon said prior to the vote. Metro owns a lot of property in and around downtown L.A., he added, which is the reason why there are so many in his district. The councilman noted the revenue aspect of the plan was separated, and council members will be able to discuss down the line how they want to use the funds generated by the program. It was previously noted the revenue would be solely used for transportationrelated services or projects, but that may no longer be the case. The City Council previ-

ously approved the proposal last week, but it required a second vote as it would require an update to city law. While Metro and several city leaders said they are excited about the TCN, and how it can serve as a funding source for transportation programs and services, there were several people who opposed the project. Dustin Batton, executive director of Scenic Los Angeles, part of the national nonprofit Scenic America,

told City Council last week he could not begin to "express our disappointment on the rushed effort to slam this ordinance through committees and council." "This contract is currently 20 years long. None of you will be on the council in 20 years, but all of us will be impacted by your decision," Batton said. He added, "We do not want more billboards in Los Angeles." Batton noted Scenic

Los Angeles galvanized its supporters to send in more than 13,000 individual letters to council offices, expressing opposition to the TCN. Several Angelenos from across the city also spoke out against the plan. Many of them said the digital signs would be a blight on the roads and the views of the city, and they also worried the signs could distract drivers -- leading to an increase in vehicle collisions.

ig Bad Voodoo Daddy, the iconic swing and jazz ensemble, will be performing at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024, at 8 p.m. The Arcadia Performing Arts Foundation will welcome the legendary band as they celebrate 30 years since making a remarkable entrance onto the music scene in the early nineties in Ventura. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's first phase of stardom featured an appearance in the 1996 indie film “Swingers,” a movie that not only launched the careers of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, but introduced the band to an audience beyond their Los Angeles base. Their efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than a simple tribute. Taking inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form, the band’s original horn-infused music and legendary high-energy show introduces the genre to a new and younger generation while remaining cognizant and respectful of the music’s rich legacy. After 30 years, 11 records, over 3,000 live shows, and countless appearances in film and television, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is showing no signs of slowing down, and is looking forward to sharing its music with new and old fans alike at the Arcadia Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available at https://www.arcadiapaf.org/new-events.

cates, and community organizations expressed their joy and gratitude for the board considering the project. The board last year approved a motion by Solis calling on various county departments to move forward with plans for structural upgrades to the building and to identify nearly $195 million in county funding to advance the effort. She said at the time she hopes the renovation project will provide housing for more than 500 people. The 19-story, 1.2-millionsquare-foot building near the border of Lincoln Heights and Boyle Heights opened in 1934 and was considered at the time one of the most robust medical centers in the country. It is also an architectural gem, with its art-deco design and ornate ceiling artwork. But the building suffered structural damage during the 1994 Northridge earthquake, prompting construction of what is now known as Los Angeles County General Medical Center, previ-

ously known as County+USC Medical Center. Most of the original General Hospital structure sits unused, except for a Wellness Center clinic on the ground floor and some county office space. "The project site is uniquely situated at the intersection of community, health, and wellness," Solis wrote in her motion that was approved by the board Tuesday. "By prioritizing the community's needs, the project can create a regionally significant center for healing and wellness that uplifts the surrounding communities. To ensure the community reaps the utmost benefits from this project and the county's historic asset, it is imperative that the board continues to create forums to uplift the community's voice and facilitate early outreach and engagement with labor stakeholders and other partners." In a letter to the board recommending the exclusive negotiating agreement with Centennial, Kelly LoBianco,

director of the county Department of Economic Opportunity, wrote that the goal for the campus is a "mixeduse project comprised of affordable and market rate housing, commercial spaces, office and economic opportunity spaces, communityoriented space, open space, adequate parking, and other infrastructure. This follows Supervisor Hilda Solis' vision for a ‘Healthy Village,' centered on the county's flagship (General Medical Center). This vision aims to target support for the most vulnerable populations and address critical community needs such as a mission- aligned reuse of the historic General Hospital building; revitalization and maximization of the entirety of the area comprising the Project Site; provide lowincome and high-need population affordable housing; and wraparound community services informed by the Whole Person Care concept." According to LoBianco, the developer's initial proposal for the site includes

885 housing units, with at least 30% of them affordable units. It also envisions a hotel, 168,000 square feet of retail, along with laboratory/ medical offices and community/general services space, as well as associated parking. Solis is also spearheading the creation of a Restorative Care Village on the campus, which will provide a comprehensive continuum of care to address the physical health, behavioral health, and substance use needs of the county's most vulnerable residents. Already in operation on the campus are 96 recuperative care beds, providing long-term care and support for those with chronic health needs, including residents experiencing homelessness. There are also 64 crisis residential treatment program beds as part of the village, providing acute mental health care to patients, and providing a care-driven setting to allow clients experiencing acute mental health needs a place to recover and stabilize.
