LA County officially experiencing ‘high’ COVID activity

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

As expected, Los Angeles County moved Thursday into the federal government’s “high” COVID-19 activity category, sparking steppedup warnings of widespread transmission of the virus and moving the area closer to another indoor maskwearing mandate.

The county had been in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “medium” COVID activity level. But that changed Thursday when the county’s average rate of new infections rose to 258 per 100,000 people — well above the threshold of 200 per 100,000 to qualify the county for the “high” activity level.

County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the move will not trigger a return to any lockdowns or business closures that were imposed at the height of the pandemic. But she warned that being in the “high” category means the virus is rampant in the area, and the odds of being exposed are growing.

“We are not asking people to curtail their activities, to avoid activities or to shut down any activities,” she said. “We’re letting people know that the risk is higher with elevated transmission, and because this is having an impact on our healthcare system and our vulnerable residents, it’s time to layer in sensible protections.”

She noted that with the current infection rate, there’s an 80% to 90% chance that at least one person is infected with the virus at an event or gathering of 200 people.

Ferrer has said the county will re-impose an indoor mask mandate if it remains in the “high” category and if the county’s

virus-related hospitalization numbers reach two thresholds: — if the rate of daily hospital admissions tops 10 per 100,000 residents; and — if the percent of staffed hospital beds occupied by COVID patients tops 10%.

The county has already surpassed the first threshold, with the rate of daily hospital admissions already at 14.8 per 100,000 residents as of Thursday. The percent of hospital beds occupied by COVID patients was 6.9% as of Thursday, still below the 10% threshold.

Ferrer said the health department’s initial projections showed that the hospital bed percentage would reach 10% by Dec. 20, but she said admission numbers appear to have leveled off in the past three days, meaning it may be longer before the figure reaches 10% — if at all.

“We’re not sure that we’ll get there,” she said.

“We’re going to be hopeful that in fact we’re starting to see perhaps some leveling in the need for people to be treated at hospitals,” Ferrer told reporters.

Mask-wearing, however, continues to be “strongly recommended” by the county at indoor public settings. But Ferrer said that even absent a mandate, residents should start wearing them.

“We all need to wear our masks now,” she said, again citing multiple studies showing their effectiveness in preventing spread. “We’ve reached a threshold … where there’s just too much transmission, and it’s creating a lot of risk.”

Masks are still required

indoors at health-care and congregate-care facilities, for anyone exposed to the virus in the past 10 days, and at businesses where they are required by the owner.

the county reported an average of 3,800 new infections per day over the past seven days, a 40% increase from the previous week, when 2,700 new cases per day were reported.

related hospital admis sions jumped by 9% over that week, and daily death reports rose from eight per day to 12.

“With a higher number of cases, we see more transmission,” Ferrer said. “This means that you’re chance of catching COVID during your routine activities — grocery shopping, eating

out, running errands, going to work — will increase. If you’re going to an event such as a concert or a large Christmas

coworkers or your family.”

there is now a higher likelihood that one or more persons at the event is infected. They could unknowingly infect you, and you in turn could unknowingly infect your friends and

On Wednesday, Los Angeles County reported 5,051 new cases, giving the county an overall

total from throughout the pandemic of 3,570,525. Health officials have noted that the officially reported case numbers are an undercount of actual virus activity in the

county, since many residents take at- home tests without reporting the results, and many others don’t bother getting tested

The county also reported 12 more COVID-related deaths on Wednesday, tive death toll to

tive patients in county hospitals as of Wednesday, up from 1,270 on Tuesday and up more than 100 from a week ago. Of those patients, 142 were being treated in intensive care units, down from 151 a day earlier.

The seven-day average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus was 13.6% as of Wednesday.

Highway officials crack down on ‘fix-it ticket’ scheme

BY PAUL ANDERSON, CITY NEWS SERVICE

California Highway Patrol officials released details Wednesday of an alleged fix-it ticket scheme for illegal street racers in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

The accused ringleader of the alleged scheme is Angel Zahid Sanchez- Peralta, 21, of Los Angeles, who was charged in October with 33 counts of attempting to file a false or forged instrument and a count of attempting to procure or offer a false or forged instrument, all felonies, according

to court records.

The dates of the alleged violations range from October 2020 through January of this year, according to the criminal complaint.

Sanchez-Peralta was arrested in August and was released when he posted $20,000 bail, according to court records. He pleaded not guilty Nov. 16 and is next due in court for a pretrial hearing Dec. 21 in the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana.

Sanchez-Peralta is also

charged with driving without a valid driver’s license and reckless driving, both misdemeanors, for an incident on Nov. 16, 2020, according to court records.

CHP officials said the defendant signed off on more than 250 citations issued during street racing events in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Sanchez-Peralta, an alleged promoter of the dangerous, impromptu gatherings, would charge $300 for phony documents that would

show citations were fixed, CHP Officer Jake Sanchez said.

When motorists are cited for a minor violation such as not displaying a vehicle registration tag on a license plate, they can go to a local law enforcement office and show it has been fixed, and when an officer signs off on it, the proof can be shown in court and the citation dismissed.

Sanchez-Peralta is accused of obtaining stamps with names of current and retired

CHP officers and selling the bogus proof so illegal street racers could avoid having to pay thousands of dollars to fix unlawful modifications of vehicles, Sanchez said

Most of the citations were for the modifying of engines and motors to make them more powerful and noisier, Sanchez said. Some of the citations were for emissions, so the phony documents allowed motorists to avoid getting vehicles smogged, Sanchez added.

Survey: 2022 holiday shopping at local small businesses could hit $88 billion

BY SUZANNE POTTER, PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

This holiday season, shopping at local small businesses could bring them as much as $88 billion, according to a survey from Intuit QuickBooks.

The poll found 80% of small business owners say this holiday season is more important to their overall financial health than last year’s.

Diana Diaz, founder and CEO of the Goddess Mercado and Queer Mercado in East Los Angeles, said she formed a collective so crafters could share a space, split the rent and support each other’s vision.

“I’m hearing a lot that

we’re going to be really impacted by recession,” Diaz explained. “But what I see is that a lot of people are buying more crafty, local art. So, I have to continue to work hard and promote our brands, cross-promote our efforts.”

In the survey, shoppers said they intend to spend 40% of their holiday budget at small businesses. And about 70% of small business owners predict increased sales this year compared to 2021, despite having to fight the headwinds of rising costs, supply-chain delays, labor shortages and the slowing economy.

Carolina Martinez, CEO

of the California Association for Micro Enterprise Opportunity, said shopping at local small businesses is also more environmentally responsible.

“Going local to your Main Street helps the small business cut down on environmental waste associated with plastic packaging and shipping,” Martinez outlined. “And that reduces emissions and protects our waterways.”

A study by American Express found 68 cents of every dollar spent in a local small business will stay in the local economy, compared to only 48 cents of each dollar spent at large retail chains.

CHP officials closely monitor social media to chase down leads on where the illegal street racing takes place, so they also took notice of Sanchez-Peralta’s advertisement for his services, CHP Officer Anselmo Templado said.

Investigators served a search warrant on SanchezPeralta’s residence in August, and last Tuesday they arrested 27 others in Orange County allegedly involved in the scheme.

The Arcadia City Council on Tuesday installed three new council members and shifted the rotating offices of mayor and mayor pro tem.

Sharon Kwan, Eileen Wang and Dr. Michael Cao won their respective races in Districts 2, 3 and 5 and began their inaugural fouryear terms on the council.

The city’s new mayor is Councilman Paul Cheng and the new mayor pro tem is Councilwoman April Verlato.

The three new officeholders are first-time council members, and their elections mark a couple of other firsts: the fivemember panel now has an Asian majority, and until now there have not been any Asian female council members in the city’s more than 100-year history.

Association on the boards of the Methodist Hospital Foundation and the Downtown Arcadia Association, said she “was very excited to be one of the two very first Asian-American women elected to Arcadia City Council in history. I can’t stress enough how vital it is to have more diverse representation on the City Council, especially given the large proportion of Asian residents — especially Asian female residents in this city.

“I look forward to representing District 2 residents, and I’m very excited to join the City Council along with Councilwoman Wang and Councilman Cao,” Kwan said.

a lot of people, and I felt it was an honor to serve the city of Arcadia,” said Beck, who was on the council for more than eight years and also thanked a wide range of officials and community members.

“I’m not going to miss being on the City Council, but I’m going to miss the people,” Beck said. “I’m really excited to see what the future brings to me and what I’ll do. I know that it will involve … volunteering and helping other people because I believe the more you help other people, the more you get in life.”

nity groups and individuals as well as his council colleagues.

“It’s been a great honor to serve the people of Arcadia as councilman in District 5,” Danielson said.

“There have been very many big decisions over the last 10 months that affect our city, our present and our future. These included two building projects, two beautiful memorial gardens, upgrading Newcastle Park, dealing with homelessness and redistricting.”

Danielson also noted less high-profile matters that affect individuals and neighborhoods.

In the Nov. 8 election Kwan defeated Tracey Jensen Han and Bob Harbicht, who in prior years has served on the council. Chang bested Eileen Wang, and Cao defeated Danielson, Jason Lee and Daniel Malki.

“Each of us has a responsibility to our community and each other,” Cao said. “Together, we have a responsibility to protect our citizens with public safety, work hard to ensure good health and honor those who have sacrificed before us.”

Kwan, who has served as president of the Upper Rancho Homeowners

Wang, an educator involved with a number of community organizations, said children’s issues will be a high priority during her tenure and added that “in order to achieve full potential, we are going to need city leaders together. We must see the opportunity in front of us and face our challenges head-on. … I’m going to fight for our values: family, faith and our people.”

Outgoing council members Michael Danielson, Sho Tay and Mayor Tom Beck spoke after receiving presentations from a wide range of elected officials, business leaders and community groups.

“I feel really good about my contributions, I’ve learned a lot, I’ve met

Tay aimed words of caution at the three new members, warning against making moral judgments about people that stem from political differences of opinion.

“Even if residents come up here, call you names, make you upset, it’s OK,” he said. “They just express their opinion. You have to be able to accept that, if not, you will be miserable. …

“I’m so fortunate to have the people here, good friends — even though good friends doesn’t mean always have the same opinion,” Tay continued. “But, we are good as a team. … Don’t expect too much, just accept everyone. Love one another, and you can make this work great.”

Danielson, who was appointed after the death of Councilman Roger Chandler, also thanked a wide range of commu-

“I have sought to make principled decisions on all these matters and to bring our city together to ensure our future,” he said.

Assemblyman Mike Fong, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, County Assessor Jeffrey Prang, Monterey Park Councilwoman Yvonne Yu and Cindy Wu from the Mountain View School Board delivered words of encouragement and praise words for the new and outgoing council members.

The council also heard from Arcadia school board members and representatives from Rep. Judy Chu’s office, USC Arcadia Hospital, Santa Anita racetrack, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, Arcadia Chinese Association, Arcadia Downtown Improvement Association, Foothill Unity Center and Monrovia, Arcadia, Duarte Town Council.

‘Trash Club’ helps unhoused people and the community

BY CAROLINE TRACEY, HIGH COUNTRY NEWS;

On a late August morning, the Echo Park Trash Club approached an underpass below Los Angeles’ 101 Freeway. Months earlier, the city had dismantled a homeless encampment located there during one of its routine sweeps. It was the Trash Club’s first return to the site since its residents had come back to and set up tents on the median between opposing lanes of traffic on Silver Lake Boulevard and in the alcoves where the bridge above intersected with the sloping hillside.

Erin Fein, the club’s founder, and the 20-some volunteers came to help clear the encampment of trash - a necessary hygiene service that also helps the community avoid another sweep. They approached the residents, introducing themselves and offering to take any trash they wanted to get rid of. One resident joined the cleanup, sweeping disintegrated pieces of Styrofoam and broken CDs into a dustpan. Two others joined the group photo at the end of the morning.

The environmental movement started with picking up trash. On April 22, 1970, schools and community groups held trash cleanups all across the U.S. Fifty years later, during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order, the Echo Park Trash Club began bringing together neighbors for the very same activity - but with new significance in the midst of worsening housing and climate crises. The group uses cleanups not only to beautify their neighborhood but also to support its unhoused community, whose trash buildup can result in encampments being dispersed, or “swept.”

Trash buildup is a key factor in the city’s decision to sweep encampments, according to club volunteers, sanitation department workers and housing activists. While the city justifies sweeps on hygiene grounds, they also displace residents, pushing them out of the shelters they rely on to mitigate the effects of extreme heat and weather. The sudden dispersal leaves housinginsecure communities even more exposed to the effects of Southern California’s increasingly hot, and increasingly unpre-

dictable, climate.

Isolated in her studio apartment in spring 2020, Fein thought of the idea of a trash pick-up group to simultaneously address the increasing trash in her neighborhood and build community in a sociallydistant way. When she put an initial post on the social media network NextDoor, “it exploded with comments.” Others in her community were also worried about the aesthetic aspect of trash-filled streets and its broader environmental impacts, such as the possibility of toxic trash like cigarette butts ending up in the ocean.

During the club’s first pickups, Fein used her own car to bring the filled trash bags back to her apartment dumpster. Others started to help her ferry and unload the trash, but what Trash Club members really wanted was the city’s support.

singular event: The city of LA undertakes multiple sweeps daily throughout the city. These involve multiple city agencies, including the departments of sanitation, homeless services and police, and are hectic. The Los Angeles police department and the department of sanitation close the area with barrier tape, and “once they do that, you can’t go back in, so people will be rushing to get their things,” said UCLA sociology graduate student Sam Lutzker. “It’s a big issue in terms of losing documents and medicines.”

Just two weeks after the August pickup, Los Angeles experienced a record-breaking heat wave. Unhoused people were some of those most acutely affected by the extreme weather. Addressing housing and environmental crises most meaningfully requires addressing them in tandem. Reducing the urban heat island effect and providing cooling centers, for instance, helps all city residents mitigate and adapt to climate changebut especially those who are directly exposed to the ambient weather. And to keep encampment trash from building up, some cities have created initiatives to pay unhoused residents for trash collection, simultaneously employing those in need of work and keeping the city clean.

They started, in Fein’s words, “a heavy-duty campaign” of emailing the city to request a sanitation department truck at their cleanups. They went weeks without a response, but one day, a truck showed up. “We were like, huh, that garbage truck is just sitting there,” said Fein. They approached the driver. “Is there any chance you’re here for Echo Park Trash Club?” they asked. The driver said he was.

Once they had a truck regularly coming to the Sunday morning pickups, Fein expanded the club’s efforts to collect trash at the neighborhood’s homeless encampments.

Between 2018 and 2020, homelessness in Los Angeles climbed 32%. Other cities in the West saw similar increases, a symptom of rapidly increasing housing costs and the defunding of social services. Currently, there are an estimated 41,980

unhoused people in LA.

In Echo Park - as in many other neighborhoods - gentrification is part of the reason that many have ended up without housing. At the end of the 1990s, housing prices in the once working-class, majorityLatino neighborhood increased by 50% in three years Today, the neighborhood’s median home value is $1.5 million.

“It’s getting gentrified, so it’s pushing people into corners - there are sometimes 50 or 100 people living in one place. That creates a massive amount of trash,” said Joe Rodríguez, one of the garbage truck drivers who often takes a Trash Club shift. Rodríguez started his career in Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment’s homeless cleanup branch, working as a maintenance laborer for five years before becoming a driver. He said that trash often built up so much at encampments that

they had to use an excavator to remove it.

Tensions around Echo Park’s unhoused community came to a head in March 2021, when the city of LA shut down a large encampment at Echo Park Lake, the neighborhood’s central green space. The encampment had formed during the pandemic when the city was not enforcing its anti-camping laws. As word of an impending sweep spread, protesters came to the community’s defense. But on March 24, 400 police officers entered the park to evict the encampment’s remaining residents, whose numbers had dwindled from around 200 to fewer than 20 as warnings circulated. In the process, they arrested 182 protesters - including some Echo Park Trash Club members - and detained at least 20 journalists.

Though it was uniquely high-profile, the Echo Park Lake sweep wasn’t a

Now studying for a master’s degree in psychology, Fein hopes that Echo Park Trash Club can be part of restructuring sweeps to center encampment residents’ health, hygiene and sanitation needs, including trash pickup and mobile showers. “If they were led by gentle people with mental health-realm experience, they could do it in a helpful way: provide lunch, put belongings into tubs, clean the area and then set it back up together,” she said.

Rodríguez said Fein has already made a difference.

“Trash Club is a big accomplishment for the city,” he said. “It’s hard to do as much as Erin has done. I hope people piggyback on her work.”

San Bernardino County employee volunteers aid victims of Hurricane Ian in Florida

BY STAFF

San Bernardino County employee Lorraine Davila spent her Thanksgiving holiday helping people sift through the remnants of their destroyed and damaged homes on Pine Island in Lee County, Florida.

The victims of Hurricane Ian are still cleaning and clearing the immense damage from the Category 4 hurricane that hit Pine Island in September, knocking out a bridge that connects the island to Fort Meyers, Fla.

Davila, 32, of Highland, works in the County’s Real

Estate Services division handling commercial real estate leasing for hangers at Chino Airport. She began working for San Bernardino County in June 2021.

She decided she would forgo the traditional turkey and fixings and spend her holiday helping others less fortunate than her to recover.

She joined California Volunteers, a state-led volunteer corps launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to mobilize Californians to help in natural disasters. She asked her

supervisor and used her own vacation time and hopped on a flight funded by the disaster-relief organization Team Rubicon to get to Florida.

“I don’t lose money or lose sleep to give my time up to help a person in need,” Davila said. “This is me serving my God.”

Davila’s task on Pine Island was to evaluate the damage to people’s property and homes and assess whether anything was salvageable. While there, she and Team Rubicon evaluated the damage and cleared the

wreckage for about 20 homes, but she said that didn’t even make a dent in the work that needs to be done.

“The magnitude of the damage - I was not prepared,” she said. “It looked like a post-war zone. Most of the people from Team Rubicon are veterans and they are familiar with this type of devastation, but for me, it was very moving. I had not seen that before.”

At one point, Davila met an elderly woman who lived alone in her mobile home and didn’t have any

family.

“The mobile home was completely demolished and there was no way of saving it,” Davila said. “There was too much water damage and I told her it was best for her to get a replacement mobile home.”

The lady pulled Davila aside and thanked her for her work.

“She said, ‘I wish I had a daughter like you,’ and I choked up in the moment to hear that - to hear a random stranger tell me something like that was wow,” Davila

said.

Davila plans a return to Pine Island during the Christmas holiday because there is so much more work to be done to help the victims recover.

“I knew I wanted to do something that was going to humble me,” she said.

“It was worth the sweat and worth the mosquito bites on my body. With all that personal discomfort I was able to find hope. I hope my story inspires others to give back and be part of the bigger picture.”

City of Hope awarded $8M for prostate cancer research

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

City of Hope announced Wednesday it was one of several cancer centers nationally to receive a grant from the Prostate Cancer Foundation to develop clinic-ready “chimeric antigen receptor” T cell therapies, with the goal of overcoming the therapy’s limitations against advanced prostate cancer.

The $8 million award was one of several TACTICAL awards -- short for Therapy ACceleration To Intercept CAncer Lethality -- given out by the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

“City of Hope is one of only a few cancer centers nationwide who currently have a CAR T trial for prostate cancer, so this is welcome news to us and bolsters our mission to provide effective CAR T therapies for solid tumors,” said Saul Priceman, a City of Hope assistant professor in the Department

of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and associate director of Translational Sciences & Technologies in the T Cell Therapeutics Research Laboratory.

Priceman will lead the research with Dr. Tanya Dorff, City of Hope’s section chief of Genitourinary Disease Program, the research center said.

“Our goal is for this research to lead to a powerful new arsenal of immunotherapy treatments for advanced prostate cancer patients that can also treat racially diverse populations and advance immunotherapy in patients with other types of solid tumors,” Dorff said.

The award covers three years. Also receiving awards in the $30 million program were the University of Pennsylvania, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Children’s Hospital

of Philadelphia and the National Cancer Institute.

City of Hope said it has so far run more than 70 CAR T therapy clinical trials and treated more than 1,000 patients with the therapy.

CAR T cells are a powerful type of immunotherapy in which a patient’s own T cells are engineered to target and kill cancers. The therapy has demonstrated efficacy and cures in patients with various blood cancers, including lymphomas, certain types of leukemia and multiple myeloma, according to City of Hope.

But in prostate cancer, the efficacy and longevity of CAR T cells is limited by an immuno-suppressive tumor microenvironment, researchers said. City of Hope and collaborators have previously identified multiple genes in T cells that, when deleted, may improve tumor-killing potential.

UCLA forecast: Federal reserve decisions to heavily impact economic outlook

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The California and national economic pictures for the coming year are difficult to predict, hinging largely on upcoming decision- making on inflation control by the Federal Reserve that could determine whether the country slips into recession, according to a UCLA forecast released Wednesday.

“With the Federal Reserve moving from rule-based policy to discretionary policy, the December forecast for the state, following the December U.S. forecast, will consist of two scenarios,” Jerry Nickelsburg, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, wrote in his report. “... In the coming months, the Federal Reserve will reach that fork in the road between continued aggressive tightening and moderation, and it must decide which path to take.

“... The good news is that unlike the past four slowdowns in economic growth,

we expect a milder impact on California’s economy whichever path the Federal Reserve decides to take,” he wrote.

The Anderson Forecast report suggests a pair of possible scenarios -- one in which the nation falls into recession, leading the U.S. economy to contract at an annual rate of 2% to 3% in both the second and third quarters, to be flat the last three months of 2023 and then to begin to rebound in 2024. In the other scenario, there is no recession, and U.S. economic growth slows in the first quarter of 2023 and is virtually nonexistent in the second quarter before picking up again in the second half of the year.

Nickelsburg notes in his California report that if the U.S. avoids a recession, the state’s economy will actually continue to grow thanks largely to “more construction, an ample rainy-day fund for state government, increased

demand for defense goods and increased demand for labor-saving equipment and software.”

Under such a scenario, unemployment is predicted to be 3.6% in the fourth quarter of this year, then average 3.9% and 4% over the next two years, according to the report.

Under a recession scenario, “the California economy declines, but by less than the U.S.,” Nickelsburg wrote. he predicted that unemployment would still be 3.6% for the fourth quarter of the year, then average 4.4% and 4.5% over the next two years.

UCLA economists noted that if the country does fall into recession, it will be relatively “mild and brief,” with consumption remaining flat for the first half of 2023 and only reducing slightly in the second half of the year, bouncing back the following year.

Monterey Park City Notices

ORDINANCE NO. 2226

AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE 2020 MONTEREY PARK BUSINESS RECOVERY PROGRAM’S EFFECTIVE DATE TO MAY 31, 2023.

The City Council does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds, determines and declares as follows:

A.Since March 11, 2020, the City (and the nation) has been in a declared a state of local emergency due to the COVID-19 Pandemic (the “Emergency”).

B.During the Emergency, the City Council adopted a series of regulations (Ordinance Nos. 2178, 2182, 2184, and 2185) which are, collectively, the 2020 Monterey Park Business Recovery Program (the “Program”).

Since the Program was adopted, the City Council took various actions to codify various regulations on a permanent basis. Most of the Program is now codified within the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”).

C.The remaining temporary regulations that affect outdoor dining and events within the Program will expire December 30, 2022.

D.A report was provided to the City Council regarding the ongoing efforts to stimulate the local economy through the Program’s outdoor dining and events regulations and future consideration of making certain associated regulations permanent. Based upon that report, the City Council finds it is in the public interest to extend the outdoor dining and events permit regulations through May 31, 2023. This will give staff additional time to recommend appropriate changes to the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) that will help promote the City Council’s intent to assist local businesses recover from the Emergency.

SECTION 2. Environmental Assessment. This Ordinance was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Adopting this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review because it establishes rules and procedures for operation of existing facilities; minor temporary use of land; minor alterations in land use; new construction of small structures; and minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities. The Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301; 15303, 15304(e); 15305; and 15311. Further, the adopting the ordinance is also exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) because the ordinance is for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Individual projects utilizing the 2020 Monterey Park Business Recovery Program will each be separately subject to an environmental assessment. Finally, this Ordinance is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare.

SECTION 3. Extension of Time. The portions of the Program, as extended under Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2207 (adopted April 21, 2021), are further extended through May 31, 2023. This Ordinance (and, therefore, the Program) will automatically be repealed and will become ineffective on June 1, 2023, unless the City Council takes additional action to extend the effectiveness of this Ordinance or supersedes it via a subsequently adopted Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Amendments. The portions of the Program codified within the MPMC take supersede all portions of the Program that are uncodified. Accordingly, any conflict between the MPMC and the remaining portions of the Program will be resolved in favor of the MPMC.

SECTION 5. Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 6. Enforceability. Amendment or repeal of any provision of any previously adopted Ordinance 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 7. Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of any other ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.

SECTION 8. Reliance on Record. Every one of the findings and determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent

LEGALS

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 9. 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 provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 10. Recording. The City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, 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 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 11. Electronic Signatures. Pursuant to MPMC Chapter 3.95, 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 12. Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective 30 days after its adoption and remain effective unless superseded or repealed.

3.30.170 TERMINATION OF TAX. This Chapter will continue in effect unless repealed by voters at a duly called regular or special election.”

SECTION 2: Environmental Analysis. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures to implement government funding mechanisms; does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this Resolution does not constitute a “project” that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(b)(4-5)).

SECTION 3: Continuity. Repeal of any provision of the Monterey Park Municipal Code 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 4: Severability. lf 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 provisions or applications, and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 5: Validity of Previous Code Sections. lf this 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 6: Voter Approval. This Ordinance will enact and impose a general tax. Accordingly, it will be submitted to a general election on November 8, 2022, for voter approval. lf A MAJORITY of voters vote in favor of this Ordinance, it will become valid and binding on the date that the City Council certifies the election results. Should the provisions of Government Code §§ 53720, et seq. or California Constitution Article XlllC be repealed or amended or interpreted by the courts so that voter approval is not required for enacting this Ordinance, then this Ordinance will take effect as provided for all other City ordinances and may be amended in the same manner as all other City ordinances.

SECTION 7: City Council Authority. Pursuant to Elections Code § 9217, the People authorize and direct the City Council to promptly take appropriate actions needed to implement this Proposition including, without limitation, adopting all regulations needed to effectuate this Proposition by ordinance.

SECTION 8: Reconciliation with Competing Proposition. In the event another ballot measure (a “Competing Proposition”) appears on the same ballot as this Proposition that seeks to adopt, impose, or amend any limitations or restrictions, or other regulations or requirements, including, without limitation, those with respect to the actions authorized by this Proposition, that differ in any respect to or supplement, those contained in this Proposition, the People declare their intention that, if both the Competing Proposition and this Proposition receive a majority of votes cast, the Competing Proposition and this Proposition be fully adopted except to the extent that specific provisions contained in each measure are deemed to be in direct conflict with each other on a “provision by provision” basis pursuant to Yoshisato v. Superior Court (1992) 2 Cal. 4th 978. With respect to any such directly conflicting provisions, the specific provisions of the Proposition receiving the greater number of votes will prevail.

SECTION 8: Miscellaneous.

A. This Ordinance must be interpreted to be consistent with all federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. lf any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion of this Ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision does not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The People declare that this Ordinance, and each section, sub-section, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof, would have been adopted or passed irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sub-sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, part, or portion is found to be invalid. lf any provision of this Ordinance is held invalid as applied to any person or circumstance, such invalidity does not affect any application of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid application.

B. lf any portion of this Ordinance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City Council use its best efforts to sustain and reenact that portion, and (ii) the City Council implement this Ordinance by taking all steps possible to cure any inadequacies or deficiencies identified by the court in a manner consistent with the express and implied intent of this Ordinance, and then adopting or reenacting such portion as necessary or desirable to permit the planning and development of the Project.

C. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. lt is the intent of the People that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 9: The Mayor will sign this Ordinance and the City Clerk will attest and certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance if a majority of the voters voting in the City’s general election on November 8, 2022, approve the ordinance asking whether the voters approve this Ordinance.

SECTION 10: Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code § 7265, this Ordinance will become operative on the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 110 days after the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 11: 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.

LEGALS

BER 30, 2022 TO MAY 31, 2023.

The City Council does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council finds, determines and declares as follows:

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, the City Council adopted a series of ordinances collectively known as the 2020 Monterey Park Business Recovery Program (the “Program”). Since then, the City Council took various actions to codify most of the Program into the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”).

A.Ordinance No. 2207 (adopted April 21, 2021) provides that the remaining elements of the Program will expire December 30, 2022.

B.On November 16, 2022, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 2226 (second reading and adoption is scheduled for December 7, 2022). As noted in the staff report that accompanied Ordinance No. 2226, the permanent regulations needed to implement the outdoor dining and events permit part of the Program still needs “fine-tuning.” Consequently, it is in the public interest to extend the outdoor dining and events permit regulations through May 31, 2023.

C.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 prevent disruption to local businesses operating under the Program’s existing, temporary regulations as the City prepares to expeditiously present an Ordinance to the City Council for its consideration in making such Program regulations permanent. This will ensure continuity with existing facilities and commercial operations.

SECTION 8. Reliance on Record. 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 10. Recording. The City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordi-

nance; 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 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 12. 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).
