council proceeds with Victorian restoration, affordable housing project

City Controller: LA didn't

spend at least

$473M on homelessness in FY '25

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

ThecityofLos Angeles spent about half of the money it had available to address homelessness during fiscal year 2025-26, according to the City Controller's Office on Monday.

The '25-26 homelessness budget for the city of more than 3.8 million residents was $961 million, or about $1.1 billion when adjusted for additional appropriations and unspent dollars that carried over from the prior years. The city spent $516 million along with $119 million encumbered, meaning that money dollars has been committed but may or may not end up being actually being used, according to Controller Kenneth Mejia's report. The remaining $473 million went unspent.

Most of the unspent homelessness money comes from special funds, which are usually get rolled over to the next fiscal year to spend

again on efforts to reduce homelessness and provide assistance to people living on the streets or experiencing housing insecurity.

During fiscal year 2024-25, LA did not spend more than $500 million of the $1.3 billion homelessness budget, the controller's office reported. Last fiscal year, the city spent $599 million.

According to Mejia, the money went unspent money because:

Funds that won't be spent until later years such as some state grants that include the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention program won't be used until future years; Affordable housing development funded by Measure ULA can take up to three years for the city officials to approve projects; Delays in approvals for spending plans and contracts related to Measure ULA tenant protections,

defense and assistance;

Lack of staff and resources regarding city departments' homelessness

spending to fully utilize budgets; and Homelessness efforts are decentralized without

a single department overseeing efforts, resulting in additional delays.

"For the second year in a row, the city ended up spending much less on homelessness than it promised," Mejia said in a statement. "Often, most of the unspent money is rolled into the next year's budget, but there are risks that some funds may be lost to other budget priorities. People need housing and services today, not a year or two from now.

"The large homelessness budget leads the public to believe that the City is spending much more on homelessness than it actually is, increasing the public's expectations and causing frustration when results inevitably do not align with the budget," Mejia added.

He recommended that Mayor Karen Bass and

See Homelessness 02

the City Council revise the homelessness budge's configuration,suggesting that they should only appropriate funds that are expected to be spent for the coming fiscal year and also properly categorize expenditures related to homelessness.

The City Controller's Office is the first entity to formally track city homelessness spending, starting in fiscal year 2024-25, Mejia said.

He also recommended that any state HHAP grants be included or listed in the homelessness budget along with when the money will be spent.

Unspent Measure ULA dollars should be clearly communicated with the timelines for acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing and tenant related services, according to Mejia.

State AG: El Monte school district ‘consistently mishandled’ abuse claims

By Sta

CaliforniaAttorney General Rob Bonta on Friday announced aproposedstipulated judgment with the El Monte Union High School District over inadequate handling of student's abuse allegations. The District systemically violated laws and regulations in place to protect

against and address these types of allegations and complaints, including the California Education Code and the Child Abuse and Neglect and Reporting Act, according to investigators from the California Department of Justice. The stipulated judgment permanently prohibits the

EMUHSD from violating these and other sexualassault laws. The settlement also requires a minimum of four years of oversight by the court and Attorney General's Office, and it includes wideranging reforms to prevent, stop and remedy sexual harassment, assault, or abuse on the District's seven

El Monte campuses. “Every child deserves to learn and grow in a safe and supportive school environment. Unfortunately, our investigation found that this has not always been the case for students enrolled in El Monte Union High School District," Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a

statement. “Across multiple years, the District consistently mishandled students’ complaints of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse by District employees and others. In doing so, it jeopardized the safety and wellbeing of its students and

violated the community’s trust. Today’s settlement marks a beginning, not an end. I am hopeful that the District will move swiftly to implement the reforms required by this settlement, and my office will be monitoring closely to ensure its

Monrovia council proceeds with Victorian restoration, affordable housing project

The City Council has decided to keep a historicVictorian home in southern Monrovia while the structure undergoes restoration and additional affordable housing units are added to the Cypress Avenue site.

Council members met last week to study options for the Ingersoll House, among just two other historic structures in the city south of Huntington Drive, officials said.

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

also decided to keep the site small and complimentary to the neighborhood within a two-story height limit.

"A key factor in the decision was learning there are only 2 historic landmarks south of Huntington Drive," City Manager Dylan Feik said via email. "One is a single family home and the other is the Santa Fe Historic Depot also owned by the city. Council felt preserving the home in its original location, especially as we’re 'landmark poor' in the southern portion of Monrovia, was critically important."

The City Council approved the purchase of 222 E. Cypress Ave. in January, paying $1.63 million with the intention of preserving the 1892 Victorian style home and add affordable housing units to the property.

Council members agreed to proceed with development standards that require the 1892 structure be preserved on-site with a site plan rendering that called for the preservation of trees and green space. The council

A large portion of the underspending is connected to tenant assistance, defense and protections. Mejia encouraged his colleagues to bolster staffing to address delays in contracting and approval processes.

Mejia also urged city officials to determine if certain Measure ULA spending is rightfully categorized under the homelessness budget and emphasized the importance of providing monthly or quarterly updates on homelessness spending.

"Other responsible departments should also give regular updates on their spending plans," according to Mejia's report. "The Controller's Office currently tracks real-time spending and gets monthly updates from departments on homelessness spending. Formalizing these updates will help the city identify issues and

The site's existing lot is 32,514 square feet. Estimates for the project's total costs range from nearly $2.4 million to nearly $3.9 million, with a projection for up to 14 affordable units at the 222 E. Cypress Ave. site.

The council also considered a suggestion from a member of the public to relocate the historic home

for off-site preservation, Feik said.

Last year the council approved participation in a

bottlenecks to ensure timely utilization."

Bass said she was glad to support Mejia's recommendations for improvement. The mayor, who is seeking reelection for a second term, noted that the city has brought homelessness down by 17%, citing figures from the 2025 point-in-time count to assess the number of people living unsheltered.

"We are committed to transparency so Angelenos will have a clear picture and understanding of how much is being spent in one year and what funding is supporting programs over multiple years," Bass said in a statement. "It's important that we strategically spend funding over multiple years to ensure we can sustain progress despite state and federal changes."

City Councilwoman Nithya Raman chairs the Housing and Homelessness

Committee.

“Despite repeated efforts by the council to get realtime reports on the progress of homelessness spending and to centralize budgetary oversight, Controller Mejia’s analysis reveals that the city has once again spent far less than its allocated homelessness budget,” Raman, who is running for mayor in the November election, said in a statement. “Last year’s budget included funding for my motion to establish a Bureau of Homeless Oversight explicitly tasked with monitoring the city’s homelessness spending. Nearly a year later, not one staff member has been hired. Unless we are able to move with greater urgency to provide accountability to the public, Angelenos will lose faith that the city is spending these desperately needed dollars well.”

Councilwoman Ysabel

Jurado, vice chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee, added the "housing and homelessness crisis demands immediate action, not delay. We must ensure every dollar allocated to fight homelessness is spent effectively and equitably."

Underspending included $223.6 million from HHAP grants, $99.3 million from Measure ULA, nearly $64.3 million from Bass' Inside Safe program and $17 million from the Sanitation Department.

HHAP and Inside Safe had the most encumbered funds, over $122 million $120 million respectively.

More than 43,000 people were experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles, according to the point-in-time count in January.

The OpenAI artificial intelligencefirm announced Tuesday it was shuttering its Sora video-generationapp, which was a key element of The Walt Disney Co.'s $1 billion investment in the company that included an agreement to allow the use of some of its characters on the video-creation service.

In December, Disney announced it was investing $1 billion in OpenAI and inking a three-year licensing deal to allow users of Sora to create content featuring iconic Disney characters.

did not directly indicate whether the deal was scrubbed.

"We're saying goodbye to the Sora app," OpenAI announced on social media Tuesday. "To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We'll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work."

The Sora app was released last year and rapidly gained popularity for its video-generation capabilities, although it gained some critics due to questions over its initial use of copyrighted materials and characters. The company quickly changed its policies on the use of such material, giving entertainment studios and individuals more say over the use of materials and images on the platform.

"The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works," then- Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement at the time. "Bringing together Disney's iconic stories and characters with OpenAI's groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we've never seen before, giving them richer and more personal ways to connect with the Disney characters and stories they love."

Several industry trade publications reported Tuesday that Disney had pulled the plug on its $1 billion deal with OpenAI in response to the shuttering of Sora. Disney issued a statement Tuesday on the OpenAI announcement, but

"As the nascent AI field advances rapidly, we respect OpenAI's decision to exit the video generation business and to shift its priorities elsewhere," according to the Disney statement. "We appreciate the constructive collaboration between our teams and what we learned from it, and we will continue to engage with AI platforms to find new ways to meet fans where they are while responsibly embracing new technologies that respect IP and the rights of creators."

The licensing arrangement would have allowed users of the Sora platform to generate shareable video content with access to more than 200 Disney-owned characters, with curated selections of Sora-generated videos also expected to appear on Disney+. Characters available under the agreement were expected to range from classic figures such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse and Cinderella, to those from the worlds of "Star Wars," "Frozen," "Monsters, Inc.," "Toy Story" and "Moana," along with those from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On 16th anniversary of ACA, California leaders call on GOP to reverse cuts

he Affordable Care Act has just turned 16, and California leaders are calling on Congress to reverse massive cuts to health care made by Republicans last year.

The measure opened up Medicaid to 20 million more Americans, allowed adult children to stay on their parents’ policies until age 26, and banned price discrimination based on preexisting conditions.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the public pressure remains crucial.

"The people out there are the bosses," Pelosi

emphasized. "That mobilization makes all the difference in the world. Helped us pass the bill, helped us save the bill, and now it's going to have to help us get it all back."

Republicans have tried and failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act dozens of times. Last fall, they allowed COVID-era health care subsidies to expire and the resulting jump in premiums caused 50,000 Californians to drop their coverage. Lawmakers also cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and

increased red tape, which is forecast to push millions more off the program. GOP

supporters put the savings toward tax cuts and increased immigration enforcement.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said GOP lawmakers are prioritizing the wrong things.

"They just rolled a little grenade into the health care system and blew it up to give tax cuts to corporations and billionaires," Lofgren contended. "Now we're spending $2 billion a day on a reckless war in Iran."

Dr. Jerry Abraham, president of the Los Angeles County Medical Association and director of integration and public health at Kedren Community Health Center in South Los Angeles, said the cuts to MediCal are already

hurting access to health care by slashing revenue at clinics and hospitals.

"We're gonna see more hospital closures in the most challenging parts of the state," Abraham projected. "Rural places where people already drive hours to get to a labor and delivery or an emergency room."

Covered CA estimated 130,000 Californians who lost the subsidies ended up downgrading their coverage to less expensive “bronze” plans.

How entertainment production hubs are creating new housing hotspots

Streamingplatforms, film, and TV studios are producing more content than ever and investing in permanent facilities instead of temporary sets, often outside of Hollywood.

This trend is shaping housing markets and local infrastructure across the country, notably in states like Georgia and Texas, where generous incentives attract production crews and creative workers. In this article, NewHomeSource explores the trend and what it can mean for new home buyers.

Productions bring a huge financial boost to these areas, adding anywhere from $670,000 a day for smaller projects to $1.3 million on average for big-budget productions, according to the Motion Picture Association.

For new home buyers, the expansion of film and streaming production offers a unique opportunity to purchase homes in vibrant, growing communities where economic growth, creative energy, and thoughtful design converge. This means:

• More choices in move-inready neighborhoods built for modern living.

• Convenient locations near

Wine not? Tickets are on sale for the ninth annual Old Town Monrovia Wine Walk. On April 11, from 6 to 9 p.m., you can sip, shop and support your way through Old Town!

This is such a fun way to introduce yourself to shops and businesses that you might not be familiar with. It is a great way to meet our local business owners. It’s also such a fun way to meet and visit with fellow community members.

creative job centers and amenities.

• Communities designed for both work and play, reflecting the culture of their areas.

• Star-worthy style influencing new home design.

Markets Seeing the Rise of Entertainment Production Hubs

While film and streaming production sets are appearing across the country, here are some of the most notable.

• Atlanta and Southeast Georgia: Atlanta remains a top U.S. production hub, while various locations across the state are robust entertainment centers. Netflix’s hit “Stranger Things” was shot primarily in Georgia, adding over $650 million to the state’s GDP and involving more than 2,000 local vendors.

• Texas (Dallas, Austin, San Antonio): State incentives are attracting film and TV shoots. Several shows from the popular Taylor Sheridan universe are shot in Texas, including “Landman,” “Madison,” “Lioness,” and season two of “1883.”

• New Jersey (Fort Monmouth): Netflix is building a major East Coast studio at a former military

base. Oscar nominee “Marty Supreme,” Sydney Sweeney’s “The Housemaid,” and Apple TV’s “Severance,” were all primarily filmed in New Jersey.

• New Mexico: Competitive incentives continue to attract film and television location shoots. Oscarwinning “Oppenheimer” was filmed in New Mexico, as were “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” What This Growth Means for Today’s New Home Buyers

Production-driven growth brings jobs, community investment, and vibrant development. prompting builders to create communities for both production workers and relocating residents.

Production work often

requires extended stays. Cast and crew may live in planned communities or short-term housing near studios. Streamlined developments allow builders to respond quickly to rising demand, often offering modern layouts, flexible floor plans, and move-in-ready homes with great community amenities.

House hunters benefit from the increase in supply of modern homes, purposeful design, and neighborhoods in coveted areas with lifestyle-boosting amenities, fit for film stars and their fans, creating sustainable markets for new construction.

merchant will be pouring a white and a red wine and offering small bites. There will be live music, photo booths and lots of photo ops. Check-in at Library Park, grab your souvenir wine glass, take a before pic and then start sipping! Get lots of during and after pics, too! Save your wine glass. They are perfect for the kids during the holidays, when they want their milk or juice to be as fancy as mom and dad’s. This event is rain or shine. You can purchase

your tickets online through the city’s website, or at the Community Center and Charlie’s House. Can’t wait to see you all there! Sip, sip, hooray!

April 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. is the Annual Spring Egg Hunt at Recreation Park. The Easter Bunny is there for photos, along with arts and crafts, activities, face painting, music and more!

design naturally takes a cue from cinematic sensibility. These film-influenced design trends can elevate everyday living to star status.

• Multi-Purpose Spaces: Many buyers now look for home offices that double as creative studios, ideal for work, art, or even podcast and screenwriting sessions after shoot days.

• Family Rooms That Feel Like Screening Spaces: Open, comfortable spaces support movie nights, casual gatherings, and community events.

• Outdoor Living That Encourages Connection: Walkable paths, shared green spaces, and patios tailored for socializing mirror open-air lifestyles.

• Narrative Interiors: Interiors often lean into warm neutrals, layered textures, and tactile finishes — spaces that feel collected and personal rather than sterile.

• Red Carpet Entry: Make a dramatic first impression with a statement-making foyer, bold lighting, or luxe flooring that feels like a premiere every time you walk in.

• Awards Night Dining: Add flair to your dining area

with chandelier lighting, metallic accents, or seating arrangements that make every meal feel like a celebration.

• Cinematic Lighting: Use layered lighting, spotlights, and accent lamps to highlight key areas of the home, as if every corner deserves a close-up.

These design touches make homes feel like stories waiting to unfold, perfect for buyers attracted to dynamic, creative communities.

Bottom Line Call it smart casting — these hubs pair lifestyle appeal with the kind of economic momentum that can deliver long-term returns. In entertainment production hubs, you’re not just buying a home — you’re buying into an economic engine. Film, television, and streaming bring sustained job growth, infrastructure investment, and a steady influx of creative talent. That kind of ecosystem supports housing demand over time, helping underpin property values long after the opening weekend buzz fades.

The first Friday in April is April 3. That means the Street Fair is family-funthemed! Grab the kiddos and head out. Spring is my favorite weather for such an outing. No one wants to ride a camel when it’s 105 degrees outside. Well, I don’t anyway. The street fair begins at 5 p.m. and is now open later with spring and summer hours until 10 p.m. Remember way back in 2020, when we were all super

supportive of our local small businesses? Specifically, our Old Town businesses? Well, it is time to be that supportive again. The loss of LOOK Theatre has lessened the foot traffic in Old Town pretty dramatically. Many businesses are reporting record lows that cannot be attributed to “oh it’s the holidays,” or “oh, everyone is on spring break.”

The city is not turning a blind eye to security of our merchants, nor to the few storefronts that remain

empty for longer than hoped for. I applaud Tamala Kelley and thank her for starting this conversation on the dais with her fellow council members, mayor and city manager. Kelly heard the merchants and did not hesitate to speak out on their behalf.

I look forward to seeing how the city, Motab and other community groups and members work together for the betterment of our small businesses and our Old Town district as a whole.

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3062

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE ADDING CHAPTER 2.90 TO TITLE 2 OF THE EL MONTE MUNICIPAL CODE: RESTRICTED USE OF CITY-OWNED OR CITY-CONTROLLED PROPERTY

WHEREAS, the City of El Monte (“City”) is home to people of diverse racial, ethnic, and national backgrounds, including a large immigrant community that contributes to the City’s economic, civic, and cultural vitality; and

WHEREAS, a strong and trusting relationship between the City’s immigrant communities and the City, including its departments, programs, and personnel, is essential to the public safety and well-being of all residents; and

WHEREAS, trust in the City is undermined when state and local agencies become entangled with federal civil immigration enforcement, causing immigrant community members to fear reporting crimes, seeking health services, accessing City facilities, or engaging in civic life, which detracts from the safety and welfare of the City’s entire community; and

WHEREAS, many community members are concerned about civil immigration enforcement throughout the country; and

WHEREAS, it is the primary responsibility of state and local governments to ensure the safety and well-being of their communities and possess the discretion and authority to adopt policies best suited to those communities; and

WHEREAS, the unauthorized use of City resources, property, or personnel to facilitate civil immigration enforcement efforts interferes with the City’s authority over, and its use of, its own public resources, property, and personnel; and

WHEREAS, the El Monte City Council (“City Council”) desires to ensure that City assets are not inadvertently used against the communities the City serves; and

WHEREAS, the City is committed to the rule of law, civil rights, and the safety and dignity of all its residents, regardless of race, religion, immigration status, or national origin; and

WHEREAS, on February 7, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9729 declaring the City’s commitment to the values of dignity, inclusivity, and respect for all individuals; and

WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the United States has long recognized that state and local governments retain primary authority over matters affecting the health, safety, and welfare of their residents, and that decisions concerning local public resources are best made by governments closest and most accountable to the people they serve; and

WHEREAS, beginning in January 2018 the California Values Act (SB 54), codified in California Government Code Section 7284 et seq., prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using resources for immigration enforcement purposes, subject to limited exceptions; and

WHEREAS, in April 2019 the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that SB 54 does not conflict with federal law (See, e.g., United States v. California, 921 F.3d 865 (9th Cir. 2019), cert. denied, 590 U.S. 1015 (2020)); and

LEGALS

WHEREAS, respect for local police powers is a core principle of American federalism, reflected in the United States Constitution and widely affirmed in judicial precedent; and

WHEREAS, California Constitution Article XI, Section 7 grants cities the authority to enact and enforce ordinances that are not in conflict with general state law, including ordinances governing municipal property and local government operations; and

WHEREAS, the City seeks to implement an ordinance to protect public safety, help community members feel safe accessing City services and facilities, and restrict the use of City resources; and

WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 36937(b) expressly authorizes the City Council to adopt by a four-fifths vote an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety; and

WHEREAS, since June 2025 civil immigration enforcement actions have occurred across the Los Angeles area, including in the City. This has had an effect on residents and on services provided by the City; and

WHEREAS, restricting the use of City resources may help alleviate fear and create an environment where community members may safely access City facilities and protect the public peace, health, and safety.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3063

AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA, INSTITUTING AN TEMPORARY FORTY-FIVE DAY MORATORIUM PROHIBITING PROCESSING, APPROVAL, AND ACCEPTANCE OF NEW DATA CENTER LAND USE APPLICATIONS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858

WHEREAS, California Constitution Article XI, Section 7, enables the City of El Monte (the “City”) to enact local planning and land use regulations; and

WHEREAS, the authority to adopt and enforce zoning regulations is an exercise of the City’s police power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare; and

WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to adopt an interim urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or welfare, and to prohibit a land use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission, or Economic Development Department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and

WHEREAS, a “Data Center” is defined herein in Section 2 below. Data Centers provide the hardware for large scale software systems, traditional computational demands with accompanying cloud storage, and generative artificial intelligence; and

WHEREAS, communities throughout the state and country have experienced detrimental effects of Data Center land uses, including but not limited to intensive energy and water use, noise, crime and security issues, air quality, water and noise pollution, aesthetic impacts; and other related effects on property values and quality of life to surrounding neighborhoods; and

WHEREAS, Data Center land uses often necessitate unique utility infrastructure connections to electrical, water, and sewage systems; where existing infrastructure is unable to support such land use nor load intensity of demand; and

WHEREAS, Data Centers are undefined in the City of El Monte Municipal Code (“EMMC”) and present a novel use in the City. The City does not, at present, adequately regulate Data Center land uses, including location, size and scope, and other development standards in its Zoning Ordinance; and;

WHEREAS, it is in the City's best interest to promote orderly growth and balance the development of Data Centers with respect to economics, compatibility with other uses, and aesthetics; and

WHEREAS, the City requires time to study the relevant issues and explore appropriate regulations concerning the establishment, placement, and possible operational conditions of Data Center land uses; and

A. The City Council declares a moratorium on the acceptance, processing and approval of any application for the establishment of a new Data Center, and the issuance of any permit, business license, business occupancy permit, or certificate of occupancy for the purpose of establishing a new Data Center or expanding an existing Data Center.

B. The moratorium shall be effective for the period set forth in this Urgency Ordinance and extensions thereof, or until such earlier time that the City Council amends the City of El Monte Zoning Ordinance to address the concerns described in this Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Urgency Findings. This Urgency Ordinance is adopted as an urgency measure pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and is for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare. This Urgency Ordinance is deemed necessary based upon the recitals herein and for the following reasons:

A. In light of the foregoing Recitals, the City Council finds that the establishment or expansion of Data Centers within the City presents a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare, and the approval of permits, licenses, or any other applicable entitlement required by the zoning ordinance would result in that threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

B. Diesel generators plus heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems within Data Centers can create a constant hum that can be audible to neighboring residents and wildlife. Data centers generate noise levels that may exceed 90 decibels. Noise levels above 85 decibels are harmful to hearing.

C. It is the intent of the City Council to consider zoning regulations that, for example, expressly define a Data Center, and regulate the placement and operational conditions of Data Centers in the City.

D. Amending the Zoning Ordinance requires study, public hearings, and both Planning Commission and City Council review.

E. This Urgency Ordinance will afford Staff and the Planning Commission a reasonable amount of time to study the matter.

F. In light of these findings and all evidence in the record, including, but not limited to the staff report accompanying this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the City Council finds that this moratorium is justified in accordance with Government Code section 65858.

SECTION 5. Hardship Exemption.

A. The City Council has the authority but no obligation to grant exemptions from the provisions of this Urgency Ordinance where it finds that strict adherence to the moratorium would result in extreme hardship to either: (i) the business owner proposing an Data Center or expansion of an existing Data Center; or (ii) the relevant property owner. The City Council may consider any factor relevant to this determination. A finding that the moratorium deprives the owner of all economically viable use of the property shall constitute extreme hardship.

B. Written requests for hardship exemptions shall be filed with the Planning Division and shall state the grounds for the exemption and provide supporting documentation. The City Council is not required to consider the request any sooner than two weeks after it was filed. The City Council shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request by resolution.

SECTION 6. CEQA. This Urgency Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) based on the following:

ATTEST:

STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) SS: CITY OF EL MONTE )

I, Gabriel Ramirez, City Clerk of the City of El Monte, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing Urgency Ordinance No. 3062 was passed, approved, and adopted by the City Council of the City of El Monte, signed by the Mayor and attested by the City Clerk at an adjourned regular meeting of said City held on this 18th day of March 2026, and that said Urgency Ordinance was adopted by the following votes to wit:

AYES: Mayor Ancona, Mayor Pro Tem Longoria, Coucilmembers Cortez, Crippen-Thomas, Galvan, Herrera, and Dr. Ruedas

NOES: None

ABSTAIN: None

ABSENT: None

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to direct Staff of the El Monte Economic Development Department to conduct such analysis and to report their findings to both the Planning Commission and City Council within a reasonable time; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. Definitions. For the purpose of this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the term “Data Center” shall mean a facility or structure whose sole or primary function is to house servers and data storage systems with connections to the public internet or closed enterprise networks for large scale software systems and the computational demands of traditional computational demands and generative artificial intelligence. A Data Center may also include backup power generators, water cooling and storage facilities, air handlers, utility substations, fire suppression systems, and other infrastructure to support operations.

A. The term “Data Center” shall not include:

1. City action; and

2. Data processing facilities whose use is secondary or ancillary to another expressly permitted use, located on less than one acre of land.

SECTION 3. Moratorium.

A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), there is no possibility that the adoption of this Urgency Ordinance and continuance of a moratorium, hereby, may have a significant effect on the environment, because the moratorium will maintain the current environmental conditions arising from the current land use regulatory structure and is therefore exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

SECTION 7. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this Urgency Ordinance, or any part thereof is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Urgency Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 8. Effective Date. Pursuant to Government Code section 36937, this Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon adoption if adopted by at least four-fifths vote (6 of 7 members) of the City Council and shall be in effect for 45 days from the date of adoption unless extended as provided by Government Code section 65858.

If you have a request for an accommodation under the ADA, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100.

CASE NO.: MODIFICATION (MOD) 25-03 – MOD 25-03 proposes to modify Conditional Use Permit 34, which was approved by the Planning Commission on August 17, 1970 for the construction of a 3,784 square foot public utility office for the San Gabriel County Water District. CUP 34 was last modified in 2012 with the approval of MOD 12-05 which expanded an existing office building and detached carport. The San Gabriel County Water District has since submitted the current application, MOD 25-03, requesting approval for modifications to the previously approved plans. The proposed modifications include a 403 square foot addition at the northwest corner of the building to expand an existing conference room and a 345 square foot addition at the southern portion of the building to create two new offices. In total, the project would add 748 square feet to the existing 4,261 square foot office building. The subject site is located at 8366 Grand Avenue (APNs: 5389-001-901 and 5389-001-902) in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) zone. Per Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.120.110 [17.120.100] (C), the proposed change may only be approved by the original review authority for the project through a modification permit application filed and processed in compliance with Chapter 17.120.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Class 1 of Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines exempts projects consisting of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Accordingly, MOD 25-03 is classified as an exempt project, pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 Categorical Exemption) of the CEQA guidelines.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65009 (b), if this matter is subsequently challenged in court, the challenge may be limited to only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this no-

OC judge removed from bench, barred from future judicial service

By City News Service

Former Orange County Superior Court Judge Israel Claustro, who is facing sentencing for workers' compensation fraud, has been kicked off the bench, the state's judicial watchdog organization announced Tuesday.

Claustro, 50, pleaded guilty Jan. 12 to one count of mail fraud and agreed to resign as a judge, authorities said. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 26.

The Commission on Judicial Performance issued a public censure and a bar on future judicial office.

Claustro committed his crime before he was elected judge, but the commission said the conduct has brought "the judicial office into disrepute," prompting the punishment.

The commission also found that "he failed to promptly report to the commission when he was charged in court by information with any crime in the United States."

Claustro stipulated to

the commission's report and chose not to fight the punishment. The ex-prosecutor, who became a judge in 2022, resigned from office Jan. 12.

Claustro engaged in the fraud scheme with Dr. Kevin Tien Do, 60, of Pasadena, while he was a prosecutor with the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Do, 60, pleaded guilty Jan. 3, 2025, to single counts each of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and subscribing to a false tax return.

Claustro's attorney, Paul Meyer, said in January that Claustro "deeply regrets his wrongful 2022 participation in a business venture that did not involve any part of his work as a district attorney and ended before he became a judge. He takes full responsibility for his actions, and cooperated fully in the investigation. In good faith, with sadness, he is voluntarily resigning his judicial office."

Claustro had served in the Family Law court since

his election and was on leave since the beginning of this year.

According to Claustro's plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend probation or up to six months in home confinement and will not seek charges related to taxes. But federal prosecu-

tors are still free to go after Claustro in the future "for any other unlawful past conduct or any unlawful conduct that occurs after the date of this agreement," according to the deal.

Claustro operated Rancho Cucamonga-based Liberty Medical Group Inc.

even though he was not a doctor or medical professional, which is required under state law, prosecutors said.

When Do was charged in 2024, prosecutors alluded to Claustro as an unnamed co-conspirator. In his plea agreement, Do acknowledged Claustro was the actual owner and that Do was also unable to do the work because he had been suspended due to a 2003 conviction for felony health care fraud.

"I was paid $306,111 for work I should not have done," Do said in court when he pleaded guilty last year.

Prosecutors allege that Claustro was aware of Do's prior criminal conviction and inability to work in the program. Do appealed his suspension and informed Claustro when he lost that appeal in October 2018, prosecutors said.

Laguna Art Museum announced Tuesday it has received a $3 million donation -- the largest gift in its history -to establish a new endowed curatorial position aimed at expanding exhibitions and strengthening stewardship of its collection. Museum officials said

the gift from the Quilter family will fund the Anna Hills Curator Endowed by the Quilter Family, named after a founding artist of the institution.

The position will support exhibition development, research and interpretation of the museum's permanent collection, while

AIn Claustro's plea agreement, he admitted to defrauding the state's Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund, which is part of the state's workers' compensation program that helps injured workers who already have a disability due to work.

Claustro paid Do to prepare medical reports, prosecutors said. The fraud scheme involved using other doctors' names on the billing forms and reports, they added. Prosecutors pegged the loss at about $38,670, and said the state paid more than $3 million of the company's billings. Do hired a medical professional to do patient evaluations, and that person died in December 2021 of natural causes, prosecutors said. After that, Claustro allegedly continued to pay Do for medical evaluations, medical record reviews and preparation of med-legal reports.

"I knew Dr. Do prepared medical reports after being suspended from the workers' compensation program," Claustro said at his changeof-plea hearing in January.

creating new opportunities for artists and public engagement, according to the museum.

Officials said the donation builds on recent efforts to improve collection care, including the adoption of a formal collection management policy, a full inventory and condition

assessment of artworks, and the implementation of a database system.

"This moment reflects generations of vision and generosity that built our collection and now make possible expanded access to and understanding of California art," Joe Hanauer, chairman of the museum's

board of trustees, said in a statement. "As Orange County's original leader in the arts, Laguna Art Museum continues to serve a broad and growing audience while remaining grounded in its founding mission."

Assessor's Office employees who sued LA County win damages

By City News Service

No thanks, Edison. We’ll see you in court.

TSCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

wo of three employees of the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office who alleged that management gave favorable treatment to connected taxpayers have been awarded damages by a jury.

Stephen Adamus, Yvonne Austin and Scott Woods alleged in a long- running Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit that County Assessor Jeffrey Prang, his top managers and county lawyers violated tax codes to benefit property owners with ties to elected officials by giving them favorable decisions on reassessments. The trio also contended that the county intentionally lost legal cases, reversed property tax decisions and reimbursed millions of dollars to individuals and corporations in back taxes.

On March 11, Judge Christopher Lui signed a judgment awarding Adamus $570,000 based on a January jury verdict. Austin won $255,000, but Woods was not granted any damages.

In their previous court papers, county attorneys denied the plaintiffs' allegations.

"The reality here is that plaintiffs Adamus and Austin were transferred in 2017, in large part because they were causing severe disruption to the Assessor's Office by repeatedly overstepping their job duties as property assessment specialists and unnecessarily impeding County Counsel's ability to get their job done," the county lawyers contended.

Austin, who indirectly supervised the other plaintiffs, was transferred along with Adamus to another section in 2017, but suffered no loss in pay or benefits and her chances of promotion were not affected, according to the county attorneys' court papers.

But in their lawsuit filed in November 2019, the plaintiffs maintained that they were "pressured to unlawfully change unfavor-

able tax decisions they made during a taxpayer's reassessment."

When the three did not go along with their bosses, they were punished and effectively turned into clerks, the suit stated.

"This is the county's dirty little secret when it comes to property taxes. It is one rule for the connected and another for the public," plaintiffs' attorney Gregory Smith said previously. "They threaten them, ostracized them, told them not to discuss the scheme on emails, and when they would not go along with the conspiracy, literally put one of them, a top manager, to work in a windowless room."

Allegations of corruption have long plagued the county Assessor's Office.

Criminal charges are still pending against former Assessor John Noguez, who in 2012 was accused of taking $185,000 in bribes from a tax consultant in exchange for a reduction in property values for clients.

Prang took over two

years later. The former four-time West Hollywood mayor testified during the trial.

According to the lawsuit, the Assessor's Office has repeatedly reversed property tax decisions of connected owners, even when those residents have lost challenges with an assessment appeals board, a decision meant to be binding.

Court documents show several groups and individuals have received special treatment, including the Rand Corp., various apartment complex owners and property developers. The suit stated the Assessor's Office used executive referrals from county supervisors or others that circumvented the usual system of determining a property's value and its appropriate taxes. Upon receiving an executive referral, the three employees were told to drop all of their work and complete an "exclusion, exception and/ or exemption with 10 days," they claimed.

critical and systemic shortfalls in its response to allegations and complaints of sexual harassment, assault and abuse of students, mostly at Rosemead High School.

In their previous court papers, EMUHSD attorneys denied any liability on the district's part.

Morelli was hired in May 2022 as the district's director of risk management and safety, a job in which she was entrusted to identify legal and safety risks so they could be corrected or eliminated.

Morelli discovered and reported what she believed was a disturbing video of a truck driving through a school campus that continually parked outside the school during all hours of the night and early morning, according to the suit. She learned that the truck belonged to the school's girls' basketball coach and that he was staying the night in the girls' gym equipment room, the suit further states.

compliance.”

Superintendent Edward Zuniga said in a statement, “At El Monte Union High School District, student safety and well-being remain our highest priorities. This agreement reflects our continued commitment to strengthening systems that support safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environments. Through enhanced protocols, increased transparency, and expanded training for staff, students, and families, we are reinforcing our responsibility to protect every student and ensure they feel supported, valued, and ready to learn.”

In August 2024, the DOJ began investigating to determine whether the District had complied with laws and regulations requiring school officials to try to prevent and respond to students' allegations of sexual harassment, assault or abuse. Investigators focused on the time period between 2018 and fall

reported the "man cave" to the principal and the assistant principal and told them the coach must stop such behavior, the suit states.

However, Morelli believes that the coach was not held accountable or reprimanded and remained working with the district, the suit further states.

Morelli also objected to a former administrator playing Santa Claus and interacting with students during a planned event because he was a principal or assistant superintendent during a period of sexual abuse of district students, the suit states.

Morelli was told that the former administrator would only be waving to students, but the plaintiff persisted with her concerns and on the day of the function the former administrator "suspiciously became ill" and someone else took his place, the suit states.

Morelli further says that in November 2024,

she learned that only one board member at that time had taken required training about, among other things, being mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. A school official referred to one board member as "a perv just like his dad," a reference to the trustee's father's former employment with the district who had allegedly generated complaints from female students.

When Bonta opened an investigation into El Monte high schools, the district

directed the subpoena to Morelli and told her to swear in a declaration that she was the custodian of all district records even though sexual abuse reports were outside of her purview, the suit states.

But an administrator told Morelli that the superintendent insisted that she sign the declaration, which she ultimately did despite being denied a chance to make revisions, the suit states.

Morelli identified a possibly fraudulent workers' compensation claim involv-

Abuse claims

2025, reviewing over 88,000 documents and 199,000 emails, conducting interviews with 26 administrators, staff, former students and other witnesses and reviewing 113 complaints, according to Bonta's office. The investigation concluded that the District had not complied with laws and regulations that require it to: respond in a legally compliant manner to notice of sexual harassment, assault, or abuse of students; develop, post, and distribute a legally adequate notice of nondiscrimination; publicly communicate the District's procedures and policies for sexual harassment, assault and abuse cases; train and provide oversight to a "uniform complaint procedures compliance officer or Title IX coordinator" to respond to abuse complaints; and create, maintain and retain records documenting

allegations.

Officials said the DOJ and the District collaborated on developing a four-year plan as part of the settlement that permanently enjoins the District from violating all laws and regulations related to sexual harassment, assault and abuse, and among other requirements requires the District to:

select a new compliance coordinator with DOJ approval to investigate and resolve allegations of sex offenses; create an electronic centralized system to archive verbal and written complaints and corresponding documents; maintain a consolidated list of substitutes who will not be reappointed based on sustained findings of "boundary policy" violations or sexual harassment — boundary policies are actions by employees or individuals that go against established rules of behavior designed for professional, safe and appro-

ing a maintenance worker seeking payments due to an alleged foot injury but who also was operating a taco stand business while he was off the job, the suit states. Morelli alleges that the school district knew of the employee's outside business.

When Morelli reported to the district that workers were prohibited from holding outside jobs while on leave from the EMUHSD, the reaction was minimal and the employee was permitted to continue receiving benefits and operating the taco stand, the suit states.

Morelli believes the employee's alleged preferential treatment was related to his having multiple other family members who also were district employees.

Morelli was diagnosed with cancer in 2024 and at least four other employees donated unused sick leave and time off so that she could continue having an

income, the suit states.

However, an assistant superintendent of human resources prevented Morelli from using all of the donated time and used other employees to micromanage the plaintiff when she returned, the suit states.

The assistant superintendent allegedly insisted on knowing where Morelli was at all times, sent people to spy on her and limited her lunch periods to a maximum 30 minutes.

Morelli was put on paid administrative leave in February 2025, and the school board dismissed the plaintiff last May 7, according to the suit, which further states that Morelli has suffered both lost income and emotional distress.

Morelli alleges that she was fired to prevent her from further whistleblowing and reporting to the Department of Justice about the EMUSD's alleged refusals and failures to follow the law and its own policies.

Pasadena Buddhist Temple celebrates completed “Healing and Hope” mural

May S. Ruiz MayRChu56@gmail.com

The Pasadena Buddhist Templecelebrated the completion of the “Healing and Hope” mural at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The brainchild of Kyoko Gibbs, wife of the temple’s spiritual leader the Rev. Gregory Gibbs, who collaborated with Miki Yokoyama, an artist and Eaton Fire survivor — the mural was a way of restoring the community after their life-shattering experience.

It was a festive occasion with about 70 people in attendance. A video about the progress of the mural was shown, after which attendees were invited to gather outside for the unveiling of the completed mural.

Gibbs’s younger son Ren and his friends Winston and Felix — fittingly attired for the occasion in happi, a tube-sleeved Japanese coat — walked rapidly as they uncovered the mural. Their fast-walking provided a light-heartened moment for the mothers present who found it entertaining. Keiro and Little Tokyo Service Center were recognized for their compassionate support. Yokoyama shared her story in creating the

mural with the community and invited everyone to sign their names on the painted primer area, the ground part.

“Judicanti Responsura,” the music duo formed in 1984 by tubaist William Roper and percussionist Joseph Mitchell — who were fire survivors as well — set the stage beautifully to welcome people in the Hondo, the main building. The Altadena Cookie Company provided custom cookies for the event.

The “Healing and Hope” mural took a few months

to paint, with Eaton Fire survivors participating in the project. In mid-March, the mural was almost done.

Yokoyama recounts, “I completed the final touches on the mural last Sunday, the 15th. This week, I have been applying a top coat over the finished painting, painting the ground directly below the wall white, and preparing a space where everyone who participated in the mural can add their signatures.”

For Yokoyama, the completion of the project is as joyful as it is bittersweet.

“This experience has been incredibly meaningful to me,” states Yokoyama. “Working together with everyone on a single mural was something that truly helped and supported me. I had been struggling mentally over the past year since the fire, so I am very grateful to Kyoko for proposing this project. The time spent painting with everyone allowed me to focus on both the creative process and connecting with others. Each day, I felt that these moments were healing my

heart. Seeing everyone working so hard on their parts of the mural gave me strength and courage.”

“My feelings right now are quite complex,” Yokoyama discloses. “I am very happy that we were able to complete the mural. At the same time, I feel a deep sense of sadness knowing that this time of creating together has come to an end. Since Kyoko and I first began discussing the location of the mural, I have been coming to the site five days a week for about two

months, so it has been a very special part of my life.”

Those sentiments are echoed by Gibbs. “I already miss the sense of togetherness from working together," she says. "It brought me happiness and strength. The bond we formed through the mural project, and of course during last year's gatherings and activities, will stay in my heart and help me move forward! I will cherish all the encounters.

“Feeling the results of the community's teamwork is truly empowering,” adds Gibbs. “We are stronger together, and I am deeply thankful to be part of this caring and supportive community! This mural gives me a deep sense of hope, seeing how something beautiful and empowering has emerged from such a devastating event.”

Indeed the Eaton Fire, as tragic as it has been, provided the impetus for Altadenans to unite — whether to fight for accountability from country officials or to work on an artistic endeavor that commemorates their shared experience. And that is a wonderful outcome to celebrate.

LA County supervisors call for study of impacts of Warner Bros.-Paramount merger

By City News Service

The county Board of Supervisors unanimously directed its staff Tuesday to study the potential economic and workforce impacts of the proposed Paramount Skydance purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery.

The motion, introduced by Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, directs the county's Department of Economic Opportunity to analyze the possible effects of the merger on entertainment industry workers in the county and develop a plan to support those impacted by the deal, including possible job-training and placement programs.

"Despite best intentions, prior studio mergers have

resulted in fewer films," the motion states. "In fact, when Skydance purchased Paramount for $8 billion in August 2025, layoffs followed. Many in the industry are concerned about possible workforce layoffs, decreased wages, and less competition, which can result in lower quality of product and lower price. Paramount Skydance indicates it can close the deal by the end of September; therefore, time is of the essence to engage a consultant and complete an analysis of the economic impact."

The board asked that staff develop an interim report within 60 days, and a final report within 120 days.

Horvath said the study is critical "so that we can better understand the potential impacts and (develop) any necessary response." Horvath said Paramount officials have suggested the merger will create jobs, rather than cost them, but noted that when Paramount and Skydance

merged, at least 2,000 people were laid off.

Paramount recently emerged victorious in its competition with Netflix to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery, with the Warner board concluding Paramount's roughly $111 billion bid to be superior to Netf-

lix's $83 billion offer. Netflix quickly declined to revise its offer, effectively withdrawing from the competition.

Netflix and Paramount had jockeyed for months over the sale of Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and HBO Max streaming business in a deal closely watched throughout the entertainment industry.

Netflix's offer was to purchase WBD but not all of its cable channels, while PSKY wants to buy the whole company. Warner was planning to spin off its cable channels into a separate company.

Horvath's motion also calls on county attorneys to

submit formal comments to the U.S. Department of Justice relating to anti-trust concerns with the proposed merger.

"The entertainment industry is once again facing a merger that could hurt competition, limit the diversity of storytellers, and send ripple effects across our signature industry," Horvath said in a statement. "I look forward to bringing this discussion to the board about how Los Angeles County can take action to assess the full economic impact, protect jobs, support local businesses, and ensure Los Angeles remains the global capital of entertainment."
