Los Angeles orders more residential hotels to stop renting to tourists By Robin Urevich, Capital & Main, ProPublica This story was originally published by ProPublica. ProPublica is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom. Sign up for The Big Story newsletter to receive stories like this one in your inbox. Series: Checked Out: LA’s Lost Residential Hotels 2008 city law was intended to preserve Los Angeles’ residential hotels as safety net housing. But the city has failed to enforce the law, leaving some lowerincome Angelenos with nowhere to go amid a homelessness crisis. The Los Angeles Housing Department has ordered the owners of four buildings meant to house some of the city’s poorest residents to stop renting rooms to tourists, following a review that was prompted by reporting by Capital & Main and ProPublica. The news organizations documented how some owners of the buildings, known as residential hotels, were advertising short-term rentals online despite a 2008 law aimed at preserving the rooms as residential. Landlords who convert the buildings to other uses or demolish them must replace the units or pay into a city housing fund. The new enforcement actions bring the number of residential hotels cited by the Housing Department for violating the residential hotel law to 21. The agency had sent violation notices to 17 residential hotels within weeks of the Capital & Main and ProPublica investigation. In all, about 750 residential hotel rooms could be turned back into low-cost permanent housing for LA residents who have few other options — if the city’s citations are upheld in court and if the city aggressively enforces the law. The most recent Housing Department orders to stop renting to tourists were issued earlier this month to the Hollywood Hills Hotel, which offers rooms with city views for up to $200 per night; the Motel 6 San Pedro; the Central Inn Motel near the University of Southern California; and the Royal Hawaiian Motel in Mid City. The Hollywood Hills Hotel is permitted to offer some rooms to tourists, but inspectors found more rooms were rented short-term than is allowed. Dinesh Vora, one of the Central Inn’s owners, said he plans to appeal the Housing Department orders. “To have someone say you can only rent long-term, that wouldn’t be sufficient for us,” Vora said. Ricky Patel, the registered agent of the Royal Hawaiian, declined to comment on the enforcement or whether the hotel intended to appeal. “It’s a touchy subject,” Patel said. One of the owners of the Hollywood Hills Hotel, Cole Harris, declined to comment on Dec. 12

ormer Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has agreed to appear in front of the county's Civilian Oversight Commission next month after years of resisting subpoenas to testify under oath about deputy gangs, it was reported Tuesday. Villanueva's lawyer notified the commission of the decision in a letter stating that Villanueva "is very willing to testify" at the Jan. 18 meeting and will "answer any questions you have under oath," according to the Los Angeles Times. The reversal came days after a county judge scheduled a hearing to decide whether to order the former sheriff to comply with the commission's subpoenas, the Times reported. Villanueva's attorney, Linda Savitt, confirmed in an email to newspaper that her client plans to appear in front of the commission. "He is going to testify

under oath," according to the email. "He's a private citizen now." The former sheriff is running for county supervisor against incumbent Janice Hahn. Savitt is out of her office until next month and did not respond to a request by City News Service for comment. Sean Kennedy, who chairs the oversight commission, also did not respond to a request for comment. Earlier this year, the commission's special counsel issued a 70-page report, saying at least a half dozen deputy gangs or cliques are currently active throughout the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, and that misbehavior by members has already cost taxpayers more than $55 million. The report determined that new deputy cliques form as members of existing groups retire or otherwise leave the sheriff's depart-

ment. The special counsel also found evidence to suggest that gangs are re- emerging in the Men's Central Jail after efforts over the years to eradicate the problem of excessive force behind bars. Supervisors voted to implement the commission in January 2016 with the mission to oversee and improve transparency and accountability with respect to the department. The legal dispute with the former sheriff began in 2020, after the Board of Supervisors granted the commission subpoena power, which voters then affirmed by approving Measure R. A few months later, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law granting subpoena power to oversight bodies statewide. Also in 2020, the commission issued a subpoena directing the sheriff to testify about his response to COVID-19 inside the jails,

and the dispute ended up in court, with Villanueva avoiding a contempt hearing by agreeing to answer the commission's questions voluntarily, according to the Times. Oversight officials issued more subpoenas, and Villanueva resisted them, which led to multiple court cases. The former sheriff's lawyer argued that the 2020 legislation Newsom signed described a two-step process and that the judge first needed to issue an order directing Villanueva to comply with the subpoena, according to the Times. Only if he ignored that could he be found in contempt, his lawyer said. In September, an appeals court agreed. This month, lawyers for the county started on the two-step process by asking for a hearing so a judge could decide whether to order Villanueva to comply with the subpoenas.

A jury in downtown Los Angeles found Fortenberry guilty in June 2022 of one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements following trial. He was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine and complete 320 hours of community service. The 62-year-old Republican resigned his office following his convictions. The appeals court reversed the convictions so that Fortenberry may be retried, if at all, in a proper venue.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Fortenberry lied to and misled authorities during two interviews conducted by federal officials who were looking into illegal contributions to Fortenberry's reelection campaign made by a foreign billionaire in early 2016. Gilbert Chagoury, a foreign national prohibited by federal law from contributing to any U.S. elections, donated $30,000 through "straw donors" who attended a Fortenberry campaign fundraiser in Glendale, according to court papers. It is illegal for foreign

nationals to make contributions to a federal campaign. It also is illegal for the true source of campaign contributions to be disguised by funneling the money through third-party conduits. Chagoury entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office in 2019 in which he admitted providing about $180,000 that was used to make illegal contributions to four candidates in U.S. elections. Chagoury paid a $1.8 million fine and agreed to cooperate with federal authorities.

ormer Nebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry won his appeal Tuesday to vacate his convictions for making false statements to investigators after a federal appeals court ruled that Los Angeles was an improper venue for his trial. Fortenberry should have been tried in the district where the alleged false statements took place — Nebraska and Washington, D.C. — not Los Angeles, according to the opinion by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena. "Fortenberry's trial took place in a state where no charged crime was committed, and before a jury drawn from the vicinage of the federal agencies that investigated the defendant," according to the court. "The Constitution does not permit this." The trial mistakenly took place in Los Angeles last year because that is where the federal agents who investigated Fortenberry were based, and it is where the illegal contribution activity alleged in the case was said to have occurred, according to the panel. Fortenberry was not charged with a violation of the federal election laws.

1-year-old girl who died near Los Angeles International Airport was identified Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner. Officers were sent to Sepulveda and West Century boulevards at about 10:10 a.m. Friday on a report of a "medical emergency," according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The girl was identified as Yayra Estelle Rutherford. Police said the LAPD's Abused Child Unit was assigned to conduct a death investigation.

Rutherford was found on a bus bench, according to the county medical examiner. KFI reported that she, her sibling and her mother were homeless. The other young child — possibly a 2-yearold boy — was placed in the custody of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, and the mother was interviewed by detectives, according to reports from the scene. The mother told KNX News at the scene that she did not know how her daughter died. She said the girl was being fussy Thursday night

since June, and she was fearful about asking for help because she was afraid her children might be taken away.

LA County unemployment rate rises slightly; Riverside rate dips By City News Service

os Angeles County's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 5.3% in November, up slightly from a revised 5.2% in October, according to figures released Friday by the state Employment Development Department. The 5.3% rate was above the 4.7% rate from November 2022. In Orange County, where seasonally adjusted numbers were not available, the November unemployment rate was 3.8%, up slightly from 3.7% the prior month. Statewide, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 4.9% in November, 4.8% in October and 4.1% in November 2022. The comparable figures for the nation were 3.7% in November, 3.9% in October and 3.6% a year ago. Total nonfarm employment in Los Angeles County increased by 32,400 positions between October and November to reach more than 4.7 million. The trade, transportation and utilities sector led the way by adding 13,000 jobs, according to the EDD. Riverside County

unemployment level lower in November Payroll gains across most sectors of the regional economy pushed Riverside County's unemployment rate a little lower last month, according to figures released Friday by the EDD. The countywide jobless rate in November, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 5.1%, compared to 5.2% in October. According to figures, the November rate was a full percentage point above the year-ago level, when countywide unemployment stood at 4.1%. An estimated 59,700 county residents were recorded as out of work last month, and 1,105,800 were employed, according to EDD. Mecca had the highest unemployment rate countywide in November at 12.4%, followed by Coachella at 10.7%, Cherry Valley at 9.2%, Desert Hot Springs and Rancho Mirage at 7.3% and East Hemet at 7.1%. The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties — the Inland Empire — last month was also 5.1%,

unchanged from October, the EDD said. Bi-county data indicated that payrolls declined in the construction, manufacturing and professional and business services sectors, which altogether shed about 2,000 jobs. Payrolls expanded by the widest margin in the trade and transportation sector, which added an estimated 11,200 jobs in anticipation of the Christmas shopping season. Additional gains were recorded in the agricultural, financial services, hospitality, health services, information technology and public sectors, which swelled by an aggregate 4,200 jobs. Miscellaneous unclassified industries added another 1,300 positions, according to figures. Data showed the statewide non-seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate last month was 4.9%. SD unemployment rate unchanged from October The unemployment rate in San Diego County was 4.2% in November 2023, unchanged from October, and above the year-ago

estimate of 3.3%, according to figures released Friday by the EDD. Last month's rate compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.9% for California and 3.5% for the nation during the same period. Between October 2023 and November 2023, total nonfarm employment in San Diego County increased by 7,500 to 1,591,600. Trade, transportation, and utilities led the monthover jobs gains with 4,400 added. Seasonal hiring in retail trade — up 3,600 — and transportation, ware-

housing, and utilities — up 1,200 — helped drive up the additions to meet the holiday demand. Wholesale trade reported a reduction of 400 jobs. Government services gained 1,800 jobs, led by local government with 1,200. Private education and health services reported a monthly advance of 1,200 jobs. Four industries lost jobs over the month: financial activities, down 500, professional and business services, down 200, leisure and hospitality, down 200, and information, down 100.

Between November 2022 and November 2023, San Diego County nonfarm employment increased by 21,900, or 1.4%. According to the EDD, private educational and health services reported the largest year-over job advance with an addition of 10,300 jobs, followed by leisure and hospitality with 9,900 jobs gained and trade, transportation, and utilities up 4,200, other services up 2,400, and construction up 2,000. Professional and business services lost the most jobs year over, 6,600.

Metrolink shut down through Friday for repairs, upgrades By City News Service and Staff

etrolink suspended all service beginning Tuesday to allow workers to clean and repair trains and upgrade the regional rail network. Metrolink trains will be out of service through Friday, resuming regular service on Dec. 30. The closure applies to the entire Metrolink system, including the Arrow service in San Bernardino County. Metrolink officials called the suspension a chance to complete repair and upgrade efforts to ensure "safer, more efficient service." "Placing our system temporarily out of service was necessary to complete the final phase of a three-

year modernization project at LA Union Station, which connects six of our seven lines and serves as the agency's central hub," Metrolink's Chief of Program Delivery Justin Fornelli said in a statement. "We'll be upgrading the signal system where trains enter and exit the station, but we're not stopping there. This unique break in service will allow us to tackle state-of-good-repair projects across multiple lines, as we work to deliver the safest, most reliable passenger rail experience possible." Metrolink officials said the work will include replacement of 1930s-era

signal-relay technology, which will allow the agency to run multiple trains on multiple tracks as they arrive and depart from Union Station, decreasing delays and improving safety. Crews will also make concrete repairs on train platforms and perform thorough cleanings, while adding more lighting in Union Station tunnels. Track improvements will also be made on parts of the Antelope Valley and San Bernardino lines. Metrolink is not providing alternative transportation.

Monrovia Old Town report: Noon year, new you By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

lease read this with the full understanding that I’m not even sure what day it is. I really had to dig deep and think about it, and then just to be certain, I checked my phone. We’ve all heard of postprandial somnolence, aka a food coma. However, I do believe that the Christmas Coma, or Holiday Hebetude if you prefer, is exponentially worse. This time of year is known for the hustle and bustle: everyone running around like crazy to make sure all the gifts are purchased and the wreaths are hung just so. Now that the big day has passed and things have slowed down considerably, I am finding it quite lovely to sit in a dark room, lit only by the tree, garlands and a candle or two and reminisce. Not only am I playing back the special moments of the past few days, but from the past year. Time is going by so quickly

that I’m afraid it will all be a blur soon. There is so much to do in the remaining days of the year and I think reflection is the most important. What were your successes, your failures? Once reflected upon, are failures still failures? I think if you learn and grow from it, then the failures transfer over to the success column. We have a fresh 365 days ahead of us, God willing. How will you use them? It may seem hokey to make New Year’s resolutions, but [I think] they are so important. You don’t have to go all out. Start small, if you wish, but start. What do you want? More money? Better health? To lose weight? Love? A new career? Maybe you want to tackle your photos and get them in digital albums or learn how to bake or crochet? Start with setting intentions, as that’s the first step toward manifest-

ing your goals. Setting resolutions adds hope and optimism. Why would you set intentions to better

yourself if you didn’t believe in the positive outcome? Also, setting intentions and working toward their

manifestation can be a huge inspiration to others. I asked Google how many people stick to their New Year’s resolutions. The answer was 9%. So, strive to be one of the few that stick to their resolutions. Empower yourself to manifest everything you want for your next 365 days. Those days are not promised, as each is a gift. Now, on to business. There will be no New Year’s Eve party in Old Town, this year. You might recall that it was canceled last year due to rain. It has been determined that it is too high of an expense to carry on. It costs upwards of $35,000, with no refunds due to weather, as we found out last year. That money can be better used in other ways in Old Town. Not all businesses were pleased with the street blockage and the crowd turn-out is hard to predict. I’m sad to see it go, as I Ioved it, but it’s the right move. There, however, will be

a super fun Noon Year’s Eve event at Library Park. Think raging New Year’s Eve party, but for people of all ages that want to go to bed at a decent time. The party is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and activities include live music, arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course, games and a Noon Year’s Eve countdown! If you’re still feeling festive, take a drive around town and check out the beautiful displays of Christmas lights. You can visit the city’s website to see the list of this year’s holiday decorating contest winners. These people have gone above and beyond to bring the community some holiday cheer. We had a great time driving around to see them all. Take a look at the map and plot your course. You’ll definitely enjoy it. Cheers to you all! Wishing you all a happy, healthy New Year! May 2024 be everything you hope for.

Simon Wiesenthal Center lists 2023's worst antisemitic incidents By City News Service

he Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, which led to the deaths of 1,200 Israeli men, women and children, topped the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of 2023's Top Ten Global Worst Anti-Semitic Incidents, the center announced Tuesday. The international Jewish human rights organization, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, said in a statement that since that October attack, a "tsunami" of antisemitic hate has surged to an all-time high across North America and Europe. "There is nothing new about Hamas' genocidal hate. It is embedded in their founding doctrine and reflected in their unparalleled barbarity," Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the center's associate dean and director of global social

action, said in a statement. "While Nazis tried to hide evidence of their crimes, Hamas live- streamed them. What is shocking is the refusal of world humanitarian leaders to call out Hamas' evil crimes against humanity," he added. Cooper also said it was "unforgivable" that presidents of elite universities in the United States have "not done enough" to protect Jewish students from antisemitic crimes. Earlier this month, the presidents of Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania testified before a U.S. congressional hearing regarding antisemitic incidents on the campuses. "This year's list is a call for bipartisan action to halt the hatred that threatens

every Jew," Cooper said. For second place on the list, the center condemned Iran and Qatar for allegedly arming and financing Hamas. In the third spot on the list, the SWC criticized the United Nations, its leadership and key agencies for failing to "unconditionally condemn the crimes against humanity and defend Israeli victims." In fourth place was the International Red Cross for its alleged "anti- Israel bias." Fifth place was the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The center said HRW has been a source of "unadulterated antisemitism in the past" and called out comments about the Oct. 7 Hamas attack by CAIR President Nihad Awad. Attempts to reach CAIR officials for comment were

not immediately successful. Sixth place was officials at elite U.S. schools for allegedly being too lenient with "call for genocide against the Jewish people." In seventh place was a pro-Palestinian teach-in in Oakland in December. Eight place belonged to social media cites, which the

center characterized as "cesspools of hate, terrorism, and antisemitic conspiracies." In ninth place was the group Human Rights Watch. The SWC said the group has "aggressively pursued an anti-Israel agenda for years',' and pointed to recent comments concerning the war in Gaza.

Attempts to reach Human Rights Watch for comment were not immediately successful. The final spot was reserved for "global proHamas protesters" for "intimidating Jews" and "mainstreaming vile antisemitism," according to the SWC.

Report: California needs work on air pollution, colorectal cancer screenings By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

he 2023 America's Health Rankings report is out, and the news is not great for the Golden State in three very different areas. California ranks worst among the states for high school graduation, colorectal cancer screenings and air pollution. Advocates for cleaner air blame the state's pollution problems primarily on the transportation sector. Mariela Ruacho, clean air senior advocacy manager for the American Lung Association-California, noted the Environ-

mental Protection Agency is currently considering strict limits on emissions from cars and heavy trucks. "By meeting our clean air and climate goals, we will also be improving public health," Ruacho contended. "Especially for Californians who live close to highways, major roadways and warehouses." The state has generated maps of regions with high colorectal cancer rates to promote screenings in those communities. And school districts offer counseling to help struggling students make it to

graduation. The report also praised California's strong climate policies, comparatively lower rates of mental distress, and a lower percentage of people with multiple chronic health conditions. Nationally, however, the data show eight chronic conditions have reached the highest prevalence in the report's history. They include arthritis, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression and diabetes. Dr. Rhonda Randall,

chief medical officer of employer and individual for United Healthcare, which sponsors the report, said the research revealed some bright spots. "The number of mental health professionals in our country increased 7%," Randall outlined. "The number of dental professionals increased 7%. The percentage of uninsured decreased by 7%. Occupational fatalities went down. Smoking is now the lowest it's been. High speed internet is the highest we've measured it." The report also found

Medicare expands mental health options starting next month By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service

eople on Medicare who want to see a therapist often wait up to six months for an appointment, but relief is on the way. Starting Jan. 1, licensed marriage and family therapists will be able to accept Medicare insurance. Joy Alafia, executive director of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, which represents 36,000 therapists, said the change will help thousands. "We already see that about 30% of people with Medicare insurance do live with a mental illness, and only about 15% receive

treatment from a behavioral health specialist," Alafia reported. "That data was as of 2021. So this is really a need that exists, wait times are extremely long, and this will help address them." Therapists can help people who may be lonely and isolated battle anxiety, depression, addiction, mood disorders, stress or trauma. To set up an appointment, people can check with their Medicare provider. Bindu Khurana-Brown, a licensed marriage and family therapist and associate director of the nonprofit Momentum for

Health, a crisis unit for adults with serious mental illness as well as a community mobile response team at Momentum Health in San Jose, said the additional providers will be able to help with immediate mental health needs. "When somebody finally makes that choice, that I want to get help, they can easily be deterred from seeking treatment if there's nobody available," Khurana-Brown pointed out. "Because there were fewer providers able to be on Medicare reimbursement, it limited just the amount of people who are educated and qualified to

help people in need." Licensed marriage and family therapists comprise 40% of the behavioral health workforce in Cali-

fornia, which also includes social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists. Older adults are expected to make up one-quarter

of the state's population within 7 years, as the over-60 population is projected to grow faster than any other age group.

Pizza Hut to lay off thousands of delivery drivers in Southland in 2024 By City News Service

housands of Pizza Hut workers were facing layoffs Wednesday, a result of a new law increasing the fast-food minimum wage in California that goes into effect in April. Pizza Hut is set to lay off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties in the coming year, ahead of a new state law that boosts the fast-food minimum wage by $4 to $20 per hour. The law, known as Assembly Bill 1228, was a introduced by Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, and signed into law in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Business Insider reported Tuesday that the layoffs are planned through the end of February, ahead of the pay increase slated to

begin in April. According to Business Insider, which first reported on Pizza Hut's planned actions, Pac Pizza, LLC, operating as Pizza Hut, filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice with the state's Employment Development Department -- that it will follow through with its decision to eliminate first-party delivery services. The WARN Act requires employers to give notice of mass layoffs or plant closures. A second Pizza Hut franchise, Southern California Pizza Co., is also planning to lay off 841 drivers. The layoffs will impact drivers in Pizza Hut locations in Sacramento, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Central California, Southern Oregon, the RenoTahoe area, among others.

Pizza Hut franchises are preparing to pivot toward third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub and UberEats for pizza and food deliveries. Yum! Brands, which owns Pizza Hut and other fast food companies such as Taco Bell and KFC, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Yum! Brands previously told Business Insider that "its franchisees independently own and operate their restaurants in accordance with local market dynamics and comply with all federal, state, and local regulations while continuing to provide quality service and food to our customers via carry out and delivery." It was previously reported that other food chains such as Chipotle and McDonald's said they

planned to raise menu prices as a way to offset the costs of higher wages in California. Following the law's passing, Holden in a statement said the pay increase will help workers feed their children, keep gas in their vehicles, and improve the quality of life of many. In addition to raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour -- it will also establish a Fast Food

Council, representing a path forward to resolve employer community concerns while preserving fast food workers by securing a seat at the table to raise standards, according to Holden's office. The council will consist of nine voting members, consisting of representatives of the fast food industry, franchisees, employees, advocates, one unaffiliated member of the public and two non-voting members,

who will provide direction and coordinate with state powers to ensure the healthy, safety and employment of fast food workers. Responsibilities of the council will also include development of fast food worker standards, covering wages, working conditions and training. AB 1228 will impact more than 550,000 fast food workers and about 30,000 restaurants in the state.

Wildfires changing aquatic ecosystems as well as those on land By City News Service

ncreasingly severe and numerous wildfires are changing the face of land across the globe, but new research by UC San Diego and others reveals that aquatic ecosystems are also being transformed, the school said Wednesday. Led by professor Jonathan Shurin's laboratory at UCSD's School of Biological Sciences, the researchers compared how aquatic systems change with the input of burnt plant matter, including effects on food webs. Their results are featured in two studies published in the journal Global Change Biology. "The effects of wildfires are not limited to terrestrial systems," said postdoctoral scholar Chris Wall, a member of Shurin's group and first author of one of the studies. "When we think about wildfires increasing, especially in the West, it's important to remember

that burned materials flow directly into waterways that are vital for people and wildlife. We're now recognizing that wildfires can greatly influence ecosystem health, with implications for water resources, like aquifers and recreational fishing." Fire chemically transforms plant debris and changes the role of aquatic ecosystems in the carbon cycle, the research found. The shifts point to a fundamental change in the way these aquatic systems store, process and emit carbon. The findings emerged from a series of experiments conducted at UCSD, and carry implications for aquatic ecosystems in areas such as the Sierra Nevada mountains — where Shurin's group conducts research — and other regions. "We've seen the impact that these huge fires have had on watersheds, so we're

working in these natural systems to understand how different components of climate change are altering the ecosystems," said Shurin, a faculty member in the Department of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution. Many normally functioning lake and pond ecosystems tend to emit more carbon dioxide than they absorb since they receive carbon into their system from neighboring sources, researchers said. The new study showed that this relationship could change with the increased input of burned wildfire materials, finding that ponds receiving burned materials had less carbon dioxide emissions relative to unburned material, indicating a shift toward greater carbon storage. "Burned plant matter fuels the biological carbon pump of lakes, allowing them to soak up more CO2 from the atmosphere,"

Shurin said. "However, this capacity for increased carbon storage was lost as the amount of burned material increased, with treatments receiving the greatest amounts of burned plant material exhibiting highest CO2 export to the atmosphere." Unburned test ponds displayed species charac-

teristic of aquatic systems such as zooplankton. Ponds with heavy loads of burned material, on the other hand, transformed into havens for insects such as mosquitoes, the researchers found. "These impacts were shifted by fire treatment," they noted in their report. "Burning increased the elemental and organic

composition of detritus, with cascading effects on ecosystem function." According to the authors of the studies, in the future, forecasts of climate change should include models that account for feedbacks between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in order to fully understand changes to the global carbon cycle.

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.

with 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.

ecution 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.

Temple City Notices CITY OF TEMPLE CITY PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Temple City will consider the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 at their meeting of January 16, 2023, at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the City Hall, located at 5938 Kauffman Avenue, Temple City. CDBG Funds must be used to achieve the stated national objectives of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program. Specifically, the Federal-Government funds must be used to eliminate slum and blight conditions, assist low and moderate-income households, address “spot blight”, emergency purposes, or meet the needs of special population groups like individuals that are disabled. The City of Temple City is anticipated to have an allocation of $230,000 and an additional $65,000 of unallocated prior years’ funds available for FY 2024-2025, for a total of $295,000. The City’s approved CDBG projects and accompanying budget will be submitted to the County of Los Angeles Community Development Authority (LACDA) for inclusion in its application to HUD. The City Council will consider the following CDBG programs and budgets listed below: Housing Rehabilitation Program – This ongoing program offers deferred loans (maximum $35,000) to below moderateincome homeowners to make necessary major home repairs and/or correct Building and Zoning Code violations. The program also includes grants to assist income-eligible households with necessary and essential home repairs (maximum $10,000). The program is geared towards smaller repairs to help improve the quality of life, such as: roof repairs or replacement, window replacement, painting, stucco, electrical, and plumbing repairs or replacement. Recommended budget $235,000. Lead and Asbestos Testing and Removal Program – This ongoing program offers grants to home improvement loan and handyworker grant participants whose homes have tested positive for asbestos and/or lead-based paint. The grant is used to mitigate or abate hazardous conditions in conjunction with the loan and grant programs; such abatement is required since federal funds are being utilized. Recommended budget $30,000.

DECEMBER 28, 2023- JANUARY 03, 2024

Youth Scholarship Program – This is an ongoing program enabling Temple City youth under the age of 18 to participate in various Citysponsored recreation activities.

On February 6, 2024 at 10:00 AM, behind the fountain located in the Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona CA 91766, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on September 26, 2007 as Instrument No. 20072217074, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by MANUEL HERNANDEZ AND AURORA HERNANDEZ, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of BNY MORTGAGE COMPANY LLC as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". 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 incor-

rectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $1,123,498.82 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-958698-CL. 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: 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-958698-CL 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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee's sale shall provide the required affidavit or

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 16133 BINNEY STREET, HACIENDA HEIGHTS, CA 91745 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $398,763.26 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. 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 prop-

erty.

Pasadena hotel workers to go on strike hours before Rose Parade

Strike concludes at 4 Prime Healthcare facilities in SoCal

By City News Service

ooks, room attendants and other workers at the Hilton Pasadena and Hyatt Place Pasadena will walk off the job at dawn on New Year's Eve, as Pasadena gets ready to host the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl, union officials said Wednesday. Workers across Los Angeles hotels have been engaged in ongoing labor disputes with employers since July, in what Unite Here Local 11 called the largest hotel worker strike in modern history. The workers' primary goals include wage increases to keep pace with the soaring cost of housing in Los Angeles, quality and affordable health insurance and humane workloads, according to Unite Here Local 11, which staged walkouts at hotels across Southern California and Arizona over the summer. Representatives for Aimbridge Hospitality and Ensemble Hospitality, respective operators of the Hilton Pasadena and Hyatt Place Pasadena, did not immediately respond to requests for comment left by City News Service. Pasadena is home to the Rose Bowl and Rose Parade, which take place Jan. 1. The escalating labor dispute will impact guests of the Hilton and Hyatt Place Pasadena during these events, given that no agreement has been reached at these properties, according to the union. Unite Here says the strike comes after numerous tentative contract agreements were reached across Los Angeles and Orange County. Major Marriott and Hilton properties across Southern California, such the JW Marriott and Hilton Irvine, reached agreements with their workers in the past month. However, Aimbridge and Ensemble have "consistently refused to meet the new hotel contract standards," the union said, alleging that Ensemble's Hotel Maya in Long Beach has recently come under fire "for being the site of violence against a hotel employee for the second time since August." The workers, also including dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front desk agents, will conduct a New Year's Eve parade of their own beginning at 6 p.m. at the Hilton Pasadena, according to the labor union. Unite Here Local 11 says it represents more than 32,000 hospitality workers in Southern California and Arizona who are employed in hotels, restaurants, universities, convention centers and airports.

bout 1,800 frontline health care workers at four Prime Healthcare facilities in Southern California ended a seven-day strike Wednesday that lasted over the Christmas holiday. The strike was the second recent work stoppage at Prime Healthcare facilities in the region. The first took place in October when the same union, SEIU United Healthcare Workers West, went on a five-day strike. The Prime Healthcare striking workers were at Prime St. Francis Medical Center, Lynwood; Prime Centinela Medical Center, Inglewood; Prime Encino Medical Center, Encino; and Prime Garden Grove Hospital Medical Center, Garden Grove. Picket lines ran daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. There were no picket lines after Friday, and workers were expected to return Wednesday at 7 a.m., according to the union. According to a statement from Prime Healthcare, the Ontario, California-based company is continuing to

negotiate with SEIU. "Proposals have been delivered to the union from the hospital that would increase wages and provide a valuable health care plan, maintain important benefits, and be competitive with other hospitals in the market," according to the company. "It is disappointing that despite progress being made, the union has walked away from negotiations and has chosen to strike, but that will not impact our commitment to providing quality patient care to our communities throughout the holidays and always." The union says workers are taking the action "after months of trying to address the facilities' long-standing issues of understaffing, worker turnover, and patient care concerns at the bargaining table." SEIU-UHW said its efforts have been met by bad-faith bargaining and other unfair labor practices by Prime Healthcare management. "For months, Prime management has been intimidating and attempt-

ing to silence healthcare workers for raising concerns about patient care and short staffing at their hospitals," Dolores Aguilar, a unit secretary at St. Francis Medical Center, said in a statement. "We are exhausted and overwhelmed and are struggling to provide quality care," she added. "We are going on strike again because Prime executives are bargaining in bad faith and are refusing to listen to us about worker and patient safety." Aguilar is one of four front-line health care workers suspended from the medical center just days after participating in a protest over staffing and patient care conditions at Prime Healthcare's headquarters in Ontario, according to SEIU. Front-line health care workers participating in the strike include emergency room technicians, licensed vocational nurses, certified nursing assistants, radiology technicians medical assistants, respiratory technicians, and others, the union said.

he Alabama and Michigan football teams visited Disneyland Wednesday, the first event leading to the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. The Disneyland visit by the Rose Bowl teams continues a tradition begun in 1959, four years after the park opened. Michigan's roster includes three players from Orange County -- sophomore defensive lineman Mason Graham, a former Servite High School standout who was a 2023 first-team All-Big Ten selection in voting by coaches and a third-team selection in the media vote; senior backup offensive lineman Jeffrey Persi, a starting offensive tackle at JSerra Catholic High School in 2018 and 2019; and junior receiver Cristian Dixon, a Mater Dei High School alum who has

played in four games this season but has not made a catch. The roster also includes two players from Los Angeles County -- freshman defensive lineman Cameron Brandt, a former Sierra Canyon High School standout who has made two solo tackles and assisted on two other stops in 12 games, and junior quarterback Davis Warren, a Loyola High School alum who has thrown five incomplete passes in three games this season. Alabama's roster includes two sophomores from Orange County who have not played in any games during their college careers, receiver MJ Chirgwin, a Huntington Beach High School alum, and punter Nick Serpa from Foothill Ranch, a Trabuco Hills High School alum. The roster also includes one player from Los Angeles

County, senior receiver Jermaine Burton, a former Calabasas High standout who leads the team with 777 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches and is third among Football Bowl Subdivision players in yards per reception, averaging 22.2 yards per catch. Another Rose Bowl tradition will be renewed Thursday when Michigan participates in the Beef Bowl at Lawry's The Prime Rib. Rose Bowl teams have dined at the Beverly Hills restaurant annually since 1956, except for 2020 and 2021 when the event was canceled because of restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. The Beef Bowl is billed by organizers as college football's most enduring pre-bowl game tradition. It is older than all but the Rose, Orange, Sugar, Sun, Cotton, Gator and Citrus bowls.

The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. The City of Monterey Park requires a reliable supply of water meeting current and anticipated water quality standards to protect the public general welfare, health and safety; B. The purpose of water rates and charges is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by providing a reliable and adequate supply of water meeting current and anticipated water quality standards for the residents of the City of Monterey Park and to pay for the cost of providing such service; C. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the rates and charges and the cost of services and facilities necessary to deliver water service to the residents and non-residential development of the City; D.

This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273;

ORDINANCE NO. 2241 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 36937 AND BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE § 26320 AMENDING MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTERS 6.35 AND 9.102, AND ADDING NEW CHAPTERS 6.36 AND 21.27 TO IMPLEMENT CALIFORNIA LAW GOVERNING MEDICAL CANNABIS The City Council ordains as follows:

DECEMBER 28, 2023- JANUARY 03, 2024

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. Article XI, § 7 of the California Constitution empowers the City to enact and enforce ordinances regulating conditions that may be public nuisances or health hazards, or that promote social, economic, or aesthetic considerations. B. The Federal Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801, et seq., classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 Drug, which is defined as a drug or other substance that has a high potential for abuse, that has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and that has not been accepted as safe for use under medical supervision. The Federal Controlled Substances Act makes it unlawful under federal law for any person to cultivate, manufacture, distribute or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute or dispense, cannabis. C. The penalties for violating federal law include fines between $10,000 and $50,000 (21 U.S.C. § 841) for first time offenders. California law has similar provisions (see, e.g., Health and Safety Code §§ 11352 and 11379.6). D. As of the effective date of this Ordinance, the City Council has not authorized any cannabis activity within its jurisdiction. To the contrary, Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 6.35.030 explicitly prohibits all commercial cannabis activity in the City including, without limitation, medical cannabis dispensaries and medical cannabis delivery services. E. A statewide initiative entitled the “Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act” (“AUMA”) was approved by voters on the November 2016 ballot. AUMA does not, and cannot, affect federal regulations as to cannabis or its derivatives. F. AUMA expressly preserves local control over the regulation of cannabis-related businesses and cannabis-related land uses (Business & Professions Code § 26200, et seq.). G. In City of Riverside v. Inland Empire Patients Health and Wellness Center, Inc. (2013) 56 Cal.4th 729, the California Supreme Court held that nothing in state cannabis law “expressly or impliedly limits the inherent authority of a local jurisdiction, by its own ordinances, to regulate the use of its land[.]” Additionally, in Maral v. City of Live Oak (2013) 221 Cal.App.4th 975, the Court of Appeal held that “there is no right – and certainly no constitutional right – to cultivate medical marijuana[.]” The Court in Maral affirmed the ability of a local governmental entity to prohibit the cultivation of cannabis under its land use authority. H. It is in the public interest for the City to take appropriate actions to protect citizens and their property from conditions that threaten public health, safety, and welfare including, without limitation, matters that devalue real property. I. On September 18, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill (“SB”) 1186, known as the “Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act” into law. J. SB 1186 imposes restrictions on how cities may regulate the retail sale by delivery of medical cannabis within their jurisdiction. K. The City Council is required by California law to enact this Ordinance to regulate how qualified delivery-only medical cannabis retailers may operate within the City in accordance with SB 1186. L. On November 30, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt this Ordinance. M. In accordance with Government Code §§ 36934 and 36937(b), the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis to preserve the public health, safety and welfare. This Ordinance’s immediate adoption is necessary to preserve the character of sensitive uses in the city, including, without limitation, residences, schools, and medical facilities. This will ensure compatibility between existing sensitive uses and commercial operations. SECTION 2. MPMC Chapter 9.102 is repealed. SECTION 3. MPMC § 6.35.030 is amended to read as follows with additions denoted by underline and deletions with strikethrough: “6.35.030 Prohibition. Unless otherwise provided by California law, commercial cannabis activity is prohibited within the City of Monterey Park. No use permit, variance, building permit, or any other entitlement, license, or permit, whether ministerial or discretionary, may be issued or approved for any commercial cannabis activity in the City except as set forth in this code, and it is unlawful for any person to establish or conduct such activities in the City without the permits required by this code.” SECTION 4. A new Chapter 6.36, entitled “Medical Cannabis Delivery,” is added to the MPMC read as follows: “Chapter 6.36 Medical Cannabis Delivery 6.36.010 Intent and Purpose. This chapter is adopted pursuant to the legal mandate imposed by the state of California via Business and Professions Code § 26320. Nothing in this chapter is intended to authorize any activity that is contrary to California law. 6.36.020 Sunset Clause; Automatic Repeal. The regulations in this chapter will be automatically repealed without additional action by the City Council should Business and Professions Code § 26322 be repealed by the California Legislature or be invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction. 6.36.030 Responsibility for Compliance. The owners and operators of a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer, together with any person listed as the permittee or applicant on the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer application, are responsible for ensuring that the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer is, at all times, operating in a manner compliant with all applicable law. 6.36.040 Definitions. Unless the contrary is stated or clearly appears from the context, the following definitions govern the construction of the words and phrases used in this chapter. Words and phrases undefined in this

LEGALS chapter have the same meaning as set forth in the Compassionate Use Act; the Medical Cannabis Program Act; the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Cannabis Act; or the Medicinal and Adult-use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act. “Cannabis” is defined in Health and Safety Code § 11018. “Delivery” means the commercial transfer of nonmedical cannabis or nonmedical cannabis products from a dispensary or delivery-only medical cannabis retailer to a customer over 21 years of age, or the commercial transfer of medical cannabis or medical cannabis products to a primary caregiver or qualified patient as defined in Health and Safety Code § 11362.7. “Delivery” also includes the use by a dispensary or delivery-only medical cannabis retailer of any technology platform owned and controlled by the dispensary, delivery-only medical cannabis retailer, or independently licensed under California law, which enables customers or qualified patients or primary caregivers to arrange for or facilitate the commercial transfer by a licensed dispensary or delivery-only medical cannabis retailer of cannabis or cannabis products. “Delivery-only medical cannabis retailer” means a non-storefront delivery retailer authorized to engage in the retail sale by delivery of medical cannabis to qualified patients pursuant to an M-license. “Delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit” means a regulatory permit issued pursuant to this chapter. “Identification card” means a document issued by the state of California that identifies a person authorized to engage in the medical use of cannabis and the person’s designated primary caregiver, if any. “Medical cannabis” or “medical cannabis product” means a product containing cannabis, including, without limitation, concentrates and extractions, intended to be sold for use by medical cannabis patients in California pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 11362.5. “Medical cannabis” does not include “industrial hemp” as defined by Food and Agricultural Code § 81000 or Health and Safety Code § 11018.5. “Medical cannabis dispensary” or “medical marijuana dispensary” is a dispensary that offers or delivers medical cannabis and medical cannabis products for retail sale to qualified patients and primary caregivers. “Operations Plan” means an operating plan that implements the standard requirements of this chapter along with such additional, reasonable, criteria needed to protect public health and safety as determined by the Police Chief based upon the size and location of the proposed cannabis-related business. “Person with an identification card” means an individual who is a qualified patient who has applied for and received a valid identification card pursuant to Health & Safety Code § 11362.7, et seq. “Police Chief” means the Police Chief or any other individual appointed by the City Manager or approved pursuant to written agreement for law enforcement services executed pursuant to Government Code § 54981. “Primary caregiver” means the individual, designated by a qualified patient or by a person with an identification card, who has consistently assumed responsibility for the housing, health, or safety of that patient or person, and may include any of the following: A. In any case in which a qualified patient or person with an identification card receives medical care or supportive services, or both, from a clinic licensed pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 1200, et seq., a health care facility licensed pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 1250, et seq., a residential care facility for persons with chronic life-threatening illness licensed pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 1568.01, et seq., a residential care facility for the elderly licensed pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 1569, et seq., a hospice, or a home health agency licensed pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 1725, et seq., the owner or operator, or no more than three employees who are designated by the owner or operator, of the clinic, facility, hospice, or home health agency, if designated as a primary caregiver by that qualified patient or person with an identification card. B. An individual who has been designated as a primary caregiver by more than one qualified patient or person with an identification card, if every qualified patient or person with an identification card who has designated that individual as a primary caregiver resides in the same city or county as the primary caregiver. C. An individual who has been designated as a primary caregiver by a qualified patient or person with an identification card who resides in a city or county other than that of the primary caregiver, if the individual has not been designated as a primary caregiver by any other qualified patient or person with an identification card. D. A primary caregiver must be at least 18 years old, unless the primary caregiver is the parent of a minor child who is a qualified patient or a person with an identification card or the primary caregiver is a person otherwise entitled to make medical decisions under state law pursuant to Family Code §§ 6922, 7002, 7050, or 7120. “Qualified patient” means a person who is entitled to the protections of Health and Safety Code § 11362.5. 6.36.050 Delivery-Only Medical Cannabis Retailer Permit Required to Engage in or Operate a Delivery-Only Medical Cannabis Retailer. It is unlawful for any person to engage in or operate a deliveryonly medical cannabis retailer in the City unless the person posses a valid delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit from the City; and complies with all applicable law governing the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer, including the duty to obtain and maintain any required state license(s). 6.36.060 Applications. A. Delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit applications must be made on a form approved by the City Manager, or designee, and accompanied by all information requested on the application. B. Each application must be accompanied by an application fee, the amount of which will be set by City Council resolution. Any

BeaconMediaNews.com

application fee is in addition to any permit fee separately established by City Council resolution. C. The application must identify the address of the location where the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer is proposed to operate. D. No person may apply for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit until and unless a conditional use permit issued pursuant to Title 21 authorizes a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer use at the subject location. A conditional use permit is required in addition to, and separately from, a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit required by this chapter. Before an application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit will be accepted by the City for processing, the applicant must provide, on a form approved by the City Manager, or designee, proof that the owner of the underlying property, or his/her/its authorized agent, authorized filing the application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit at the subject location. A copy of the conditional use permit authorizing a cannabis-related use on the subject property must accompany the application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit. Only one application per parcel will be accepted and processed by the City at a given time. If an application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit is denied, a subsequent application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit on the same parcel may be accepted by the City only after one year following the denial is final and all available administrative and judicial remedies are exhausted. E. Completed applications must be submitted to the City Manager, or designee. Only complete applications will be considered. An application is complete if it is submitted with all of the information requested therein, together with full payment of the application fee. Applications will be considered in the order they are received. The City Manager, or designee, may require supplemental information from any applicant before deeming an application complete. Such information must be provided to the City Manager, or designee, within seven business days. Failure to provide the information results in the application losing its priority in the queue and will not be considered “received” until the date that all requested supplemental information is provided to the City Manager, or designee. F. The City Council may, by resolution, establish minimum threshold qualifications for all delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit applicants including, without limitation, qualifications relating to previous relevant business experience, criminal history, minimum liquid assets, and/or net worth. Every application for a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit must be accompanied by credible evidence demonstrating that the applicant meets or exceeds each of the threshold requirements established by the City Council. 6.36.070 Expiration. Each delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit issued pursuant to this chapter must be activated within 30 days after the City approves the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit. Activation occurs when the permittee pays all fees required by this chapter; accepts all conditions; provides evidence that it was issued a valid Conditional Use Permit; and provides evidence that it applied with the state of California for all required permits. Each delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit issued pursuant to this chapter expires twelve months after the date it is issued.

Any fees or expenses charged to permittees by City pursuant to this section, or any other provision of the permit, unless disputed in good faith, must be paid when due or are deemed delinquent. Any undisputed delinquent amounts will accrue an interest rate of ten percent per annum. Any neglect, omission or refusal by permittee to pay any undisputed delinquent fee with any late charges, within 30 days of written demand for payment is grounds for the City to declare the permit forfeited pursuant to the procedures established by this chapter. 3. Payments must be made as determined by the City Manager, or designee. The permit fee must be paid annually during the term of the permit, including the year of granting the permit. B. Annual Increase. 1. The amount of each annual payment of the permit fee is subject to an increase after the first year of the permit and each subsequent year. 2.

If the Index is discontinued or revised during the term of this permit, such other governmental price index or computation with which it is replaced chosen by the City will be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised. C. Reports Required. A permittee must file with the City Clerk and Finance Director, on or before January 31st after the expiration of the calendar year, or fractional calendar year, following the date of the granting of this permit and on or before January 31st after the expiration of each calendar year thereafter, two copies of a report duly verified by the oath of the permittee or by the oath of a duly authorized representative of the permittee, showing for the immediately preceding permit period: 1. The total gross receipts received by the permittee from the sale of cannabis and the use, operation or possession of this permit during the preceding calendar year, or fractional calendar year. D. Any neglect, omission or refusal by permittee to file the verified statement required by the permit, or to pay any required payments at the time and in the manner specified is grounds for the declaration of a forfeiture of this permit and of all rights and privileges of permittee hereunder, provided that permittee has not cured said neglect, omission, or refusal to file or pay within fifteen days following written notice from the City of failure to file or pay the required amount, or, if such neglect, omission or refusal is not reasonably subject to cure within such fifteen day period, permittee has not commenced to cure such neglect, omission or refusal within such fifteen day period and has not continued to prosecute such cure to completion. E. The fee required by this section is in addition to any taxes imposed upon a cannabis business. 6.36.110 Operations Plan Required. A conditional use permit issued pursuant to this code for a deliveryonly medical cannabis retailer permit must include, as a condition of approval, the operational standards set forth in this chapter.

DECEMBER 28, 2023-JANUARY 03, 2024 25

reasonably discoverable; 2. If the permittee violates any condition imposed by this chapter or by the terms of the permit; or 3. Violation of any law of moral turpitude including, without limitation, a criminal conviction or civil liability arising from a complaint filed in a court of competent jurisdiction. B. Notice of Suspension or Revocation. If after having determined that adequate grounds exist the City Manager, or designee, elects to suspend or revoke a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit, the City Manager, or designee, must serve a notice of suspension or revocation on the permittee. The notice must state the reason(s) for the action and provide information regarding the right to a hearing before the City Manager. Except as otherwise provided, the suspension or revocation of the permit does not become effective until the time for filing a request for hearing has passed or, if a request for hearing is timely filed, until the decision of the City Manager, or designee, is final. C. The notice of suspension or revocation will be sent to the business address indicated on the permit. Service is deemed complete one business day after deposit in the United States Mail. D. A permittee that has been served with a notice of suspension of revocation may, within five business days, request a hearing before the City Manager, or designee. The request must be made on a form approved by the City Manager or designee. E. If a timely request for a hearing is made by the permittee, the City Manager, or designee, will schedule a hearing within 30 days. The hearing may be held in the office of the City Manager, or designee, or at an alternative location designated by the City Manager, or designee. The permittee will be notified of the time and place of the hearing at least ten days before the scheduled date. F. If the City Manager, or designee, determines, in his or her sole discretion, that the continued operation of the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer presents an imminent threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the suspension or revocation becomes effective immediately upon notice thereof. In such a case, if the permittee requests a hearing before the City Manager, or designee, the hearing will be scheduled within seven business days. The permittee will be notified of the time and place of the hearing at least 48 hours before the scheduled date. Notice may be given by any means reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the permittee including, without limitation, mailed notice or telephonic notice. G. The permittee may present written and/or oral testimony and evidence at the hearing and will be provided 30 minutes for a presentation. Formal rules of evidence and procedure applicable in a court of law do not apply. The City Manager, or designee, may, in his or her sole discretion, provide the permittee additional time to present evidence, testimony and argument. H. The City Manager, or designee, will issue a written decision within 10 business days of the hearing. If the suspension or revocation was made immediately effective, the City Manager’s written decision will be issued within five business days of the hearing. The City Manager’s, or designee’s, decision is the City’s final decision. I. Effect of Revocation. If a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit is revoked, the former permittee is presumptively disqualified to apply for a new permit for a period of two years from the effective date of the revocation. This presumption may be overcome upon a showing of good cause as to why a permit should be issued following a revocation. Any such showing must be made to the City Manager’s, or designee’s, satisfaction. SECTION 5. MPMC § 21.02.015 is added to the Monterey Park Municipal Code to read as follows: “21.02.015 Consistency with State and Federal Law. Unless otherwise specifically permitted by Title 21 of this Code, and notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, no new use is permitted unless it is permitted by both State and Federal law.” SECTION 6. MPMC § 21.04.557 is repealed. SECTION 7. MPMC § 21.04.571 repealed. SECTION 8. Chapter 21.27 is added to the Monterey Park Municipal Code to read as follows: “Chapter 21.27 CANNABIS-RELATED USES 21.27.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish land use restrictions for delivery-only medical cannabis retailers. Nothing in this chapter is intended to authorize any activity that is contrary to California law. 21.27.020 Definitions. Unless otherwise provided herein, the terms used in this chapter have the same meaning as set forth in Chapter 6.36. 21.27.030 Conditional Use Permit Required. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, it is unlawful for any person to maintain a cannabis-related use on any property in the City unless a valid conditional use permit authorizes the cannabisrelated use on the subject property. 21.27.040 Location Restrictions. A. Delivery-only medical cannabis retailers are conditionally permitted in the C-S (Commercial Services) zone and are prohibited in all other zones. B. No conditional use permit may be issued for a cannabisrelated business located on a parcel that is within 1,000 feet of any other parcel containing a “sensitive use,” including, without limitation, residences, schools, religious facilities, parks, licensed child daycare facilities, youth centers or licensed drug or alcohol rehabilitation facilities. For purposes of this section, “school” includes a pre-school, transitional kindergarten, K-12 school, whether public or private. C. Within 1,000 feet of any other parcel upon which a delivery-only medical cannabis retailer is operating. D. A delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit may be renewed for a cannabis-related business located on a parcel that is within the distance limitations in this section if:

1. The sensitive use located to the area after the subject delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit was first issued; 2. The subject delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit has not lapsed for any period of time; and 3. The cannabis-related business was in continuous operation. E. For purposes of this section, a temporary interruption of business activity due to fire, natural disaster or other force majeure is excused provided reasonable steps are taken by the permittee to resume business operations expeditiously. The prior, temporary suspension of the delivery-only medical cannabis retailer permit does not render a permit ineligible for renewal under this section provided the applicant otherwise qualifies for renewal pursuant to Chapter 6.36. F. The delivery-only medical cannabis retailer will utilize fewer than the minimum off-street parking spaces established by this Code. 21.27.050 Ordinance No. 2241Distance Measurements.

properties. C. This Ordinance promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the MPMC’s zoning regulations. This Ordinance implements State law governing medicinal cannabis delivery facilities in the City to bring the MPMC into compliance with State law. Reasonable regulations are proposed to promote public health, safety, and general welfare in the City. SECTION 12. Validity of Previous Code Sections. If the entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the MPMC or other regulation by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such MPMC provision or other regulation to remain in full force and effect for all purposes. SECTION 13. Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 14. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and National problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework. SECTION 15. Preservation. Repeal or amendment of any previous Code Sections does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance’s effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance. SECTION 16. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. SECTION 17. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact. SECTION 18. Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature. SECTION 19. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances, make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting, and, within fifteen days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law. SECTION 20. Effective Date. Based on the findings in Section 1, this urgency ordinance is adopted by a four-fifths vote for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare and will become effective immediately upon adoption pursuant to Government Code § 36937(b).

Pursuant to MPMC § 21.38.050, the City Council finds as follows: A. The MPMC amendments in this Ordinance are consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan. 1. The Ordinance is consistent with Policy 14.1 (Second-Hand Smoke Exposure — Outdoor Public Areas) of the Healthy Community Element of the General Plan as it does not affect MPMC Chapter 6.20 (Smoking Prohibited) which prohibits publicly smoking cannabis in many areas of the City. 2. The Ordinance is consistent with Goal 1 (Commercial districts that allow a variety of retail, service, and entertainment uses and that accommodate flexibility over time) of the Land Use and Urban Design Element of the General Plan as it permits delivery-only medicinal cannabis retailers to operate in the C-S Zone with a conditional use permit, fulfilling Policy 1.1’s (Flexibility) goal of providing flexibility regarding allowed uses in the City and Policy 1.3 (Economic Development) by encouraging businesses to locate in the City. 3. The Ordinance is consistent with Goal 2 (Dynamic mix of businesses, uses, and employment that sustain a strong local economy and contributes to a fiscally sustainable tax base) of the Land Use and Urban Design Element of the General Plan and Policy 2.1 (Flexibility) and Policy 2.2 (Business Growth) by providing clear development and operational standards for delivery-only medicinal cannabis retailers to operate in and thrive economically. 4. The Ordinance is consistent with Goal 1 (Fiscal Balance) of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan, which has its goals of preserving, retaining, and building the City’s tax base. This Ordinance is consistent with Goal 1 and will meet Policy 1.2 as it will encourage the growth and relocation of industries that generate local tax and employment benefits to the City. 5. The Ordinance is consistent with Goal 2 (Business Attraction and Retention) of the Economic Development Element of the General Plan as this Ordinance will help attract new businesses to the City without the need for incentives. B. This Ordinance will not adversely affect surrounding properties. This Ordinance adopts reasonable regulations that will ensure that non-storefront medicinal cannabis facilities in the C-S (Commercial Services) zone do not adversely affect surrounding

charges, and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of said obligations at the time of initial publication of this Notice is $158,315.19. In the event that the deed of trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing from one to four single-family residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f: 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’s 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-10841. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately 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: 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-10841 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit or declaration described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.

KCRW, NPR visionary Ruth Seymour dies at 88 By City News Service

uth Seymour, who helped grow KCRW from a tiny Santa Monica College station operating out of a middle school classroom into the West Coast flagship for National Public Radio and an internet powerhouse, died Friday. Seymour died at her home in Santa Monica after a long illness at the age of 88, according to KCRW-FM (89.9). Her mission at the groundbreaking public radio station was "to matter," she is quoted as telling journalists and friends. Described as charismatic and controversial, the Bronxborn broadcast "visionary" was a thoughtful general manager who created a winning eclectic format of news, talk, music, current affairs and cultural programming. Under her aegis, KCRW,

licensed to Santa Monica College, was one of the earliest adopters of online programming, streaming and podcasting, which helped the station achieve global renown. KCRW President Jennifer Ferro said in a statement that Seymour "took chances and made decisions because she knew they were right. She trusted her gut. She broke rules and pursued excellence in ways that can't easily be explained. She was a force of nature." Among her signature achievements was the creation of "Which Way, L.A.?" with Warren Olney, which became a daily "town square" in the aftermath of the Rodney King riots; originated public radio's first nationally distributed weekly political roundtable, "Left, Right & Center"; and was the first to air Ira Glass' "This

American Life," convincing other stations to carry the award-winning public radio and podcast favorite. Seymour led the on-air charge for stations to raise funds on behalf of the network when NPR was in crisis. She was known in Washington, D.C., circles as a fierce defender of public broadcasting funding and issues such as licensing and streaming royalties. "The Simpsons" voice actor Harry Shearer, whose "Le Show" aired for decades on KCRW, described Seymour as "a towering figure in public radio, embracing a breadth of subject matter and styles that, frankly, does not seem possible any more." Shearer said Seymour "imagined a listener who was endlessly curious, open to a wide range of opinions and musics, and worked tirelessly to satisfy that listener. There

will not be one like her again." Seymour also supported the station's signature freeform music show "Morning Becomes Eclectic," which became an influential music trendsetter, featuring frequent live in-studio and video performances by established and unknown artists, from Beck's breakout to Coldplay's first U.S. radio performance. Her lengthy radio career began in 1961 as drama and literature director at Pacifica public radio KPFK-FM (90.7) in Los Angeles. She left KPFK in 1976, then in 1977 began building KCRW — first as a consultant, later as the station's long-time general manager and program director. She retired from KCRW in 2010. Seymour is survived by her daughter Celia Hirschman, her sister and brother-in-law Ann and Richard Zimmer

and their children Jessica and Daniel, and her cousins Anita Getzler and Greg Epstein. Her son David preceded her in

death at the age of 25 from lymphoma. A public memorial service was being planned.

Long Beach police seek help finding man who brutally attacked woman By City News Service

olice Tuesday continued their search for a knife-wielding suspect who robbed a woman in Long Beach, leaving her with a broken nose, hands full of cuts and a bone shattered beneath her left eye. The assault occurred about 4:20 a.m. Saturday in the 2400 block of Cedar Avenue, where the woman

was walking to her vehicle from a nearby apartment, heading to work, the Long Beach Police Department said. The victim, Beth Quintana, suffered a blow to her head from behind, allegedly by a man in his 20s who was riding a bicycle. She and the suspect hit the ground as she fought back, police said.

She also was allegedly bit during the struggle. The suspect was able to grab some cash, but not her phone or purse, according to media accounts. The suspect ran when someone spotted the altercation. He was last seen wearing a light-colored puffy jacket and a dark sweatshirt. A GoFundMe account

was set up for the victim, and the $15,000 goal had been surpassed. Long Beach police urged anyone with any information regarding the attack or the suspect to call them at 562-435-6711. Anonymous tips can be made to LA Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or by going to www.lacirmestoppers.org.

ago. It has dropped $1.853 from its record high of $6.459 on Oct. 5, 2022. The national average price dropped four-tenths of a cent to $3.122 after decreasing one-tenth of a cent three of the previous four days and remaining unchanged Monday. It is 2.5 cents more than one week ago and 1.8 cents higher than one year ago, but 12.8 cents less than one month ago. The national average price has decreased $1.894 since rising to a record $5.016 on June 14, 2022. "After 13 straight weeks of decline, average gasoline prices have edged higher due to optimistic comments from

the Fed on cutting interest rates in 2024, coupled with Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, boosting concerns of a disruption to global shipping, including oil shipments," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, which provides real-time gas price information from more than 150,000 stations. "For now, the price of gasoline has already jumped but could ease slightly this week ahead of the New Year," De Haan said. "For now, I'm optimistic that we may still have a chance of seeing the first $2.99 national average since 2021 sometime before spring arrives."

Wood-burning ban extended through Thursday in Southland By City News Service

ban on indoor and outdoor wood burning in much of the Southland has been extended through Thursday due to a forecast of high air pollution in the area, air quality regulators said Wednesday. The residential wood-burning ban, which began on Christmas Day, will be in effect until at least 11:59 p.m. Thursday for all those in the South Coast Air Basin, including the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and all of Orange County. The order does not apply to mountain communities above 3,000 feet, the Coachella Valley or the high desert, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income households and those without natural gas service also are exempt from the requirement. Residents in the affected areas are reminded that burning wood in their fireplaces or any indoor or outdoor wood-burning device is prohibited, as is burning manufactured fire logs, such as those made from wax or paper. Fine particles in wood smoke, also known as particulate matter or PM2.5, can get deep into the lungs and cause respiratory problems such as asthma. Residents can receive no-burn day notifications by signing up for Air Alerts via email or text at www.AirAlerts.org.

because, he said, he wasn’t involved in day-to-day operations. And managers didn’t return phone messages left at the hotel. The owner of the Motel 6 didn’t respond to calls or emails. Sixteen of 17 hotel owners who were cited for failure to comply with the residential hotel law in July appealed their notices to the Housing Department’s general manager and attended hearings conducted by phone between September and November. A department hearing officer recently denied appeals from eight of those hotels, including the American Hotel in the Arts District and the H Hotel and Hometel Suites in Koreatown, which were highlighted in our initial story for transforming their buildings into boutique hotels. The agency postponed five other appeals involving hotels that have signed contracts to provide temporary homeless housing through the city’s Inside Safe program or that said they were considering participating in the program. Capital & Main and ProPublica found that the mayor’s marquee homeless initiative has given funding to eight residential hotels, even though they are already meant to provide housing to low-income people. Some residential hotels were awarded contracts despite appearing to violate the residential hotel ordinance. In evaluating the evidence in the American Hotel case, Housing Department hearing officer Andre Brown noted the city’s declared housing and homelessness emergency and wrote that the residential hotel ordinance had been passed to address “a severe shortage of decent safe and sanitary rental housing in the City resulting from the loss of single room occupancy and residential hotel units.” None of the hotel owners disputed the city’s allegation that they offered short-term rentals, but they argued that they’d done so legally because they paid hotel taxes to the city. The hearing officers, however, said the hotel owners violated a clear ban on offering their rooms for rent on a nightly or weekly basis, known in city law as transient use. “It is undisputed that the Residential Hotel Ordinance (RHO) prohibits transient use of units that have been determined to be Residential Units,” Brown wrote in the American case. Frank Weiser, an attorney who represents all eight hotels, including the American, said the hotels plan to appeal the city’s decisions in federal court. On the one hand, the city has been treating them as residential hotels barred from renting to tourists, he said, but on the other, it has openly accepted tax payments from the hotels for doing just that. “The city was collecting an enormous amount of tax,” Weiser said. “It’s totally contradictory.” City housing inspector Jean-Claude Olivier said at the American appeal hearing that payment of hotel taxes doesn’t change the approved building use, and Brown noted in his decision that the ordinance doesn’t address such situations. Just one hotel, the 25-room Knights Inn near Dodger Stadium, won its case. A hearing officer found the hotel wasn’t given sufficient opportunity to appeal its residential hotel designation and that there wasn’t enough evidence to show the hotel had ever been residential. Mayor Karen Bass, who recently heralded bringing 21,000 homeless Angelenos into temporary housing in the last year, has signaled that she thinks the residential hotel law might need an overhaul. In an executive directive in November, she said some of the hotels might not meet current building code standards and ordered the Housing Department to report on the city’s residential hotel supply, the hotels’ occupancy rates and recent enforcement so that city officials could recommend ways to update the law.
