SoCal officials respond to Supreme Court ruling on encampments

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

ThecityofSan Bernardino and officials representing the Los Angeles area responded to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision Friday easing legal restrictions on removing homeless encampments.

In the case Grants Pass v. Johnson, the Supreme Court considered whether cities could legally clear encampments and have police cite homeless individuals for sleeping in public places. A 6-3 majority found that laws prohibiting camping in public places were not considered cruel and unusual punishment.

In December 2018, two homeless individuals filed a lawsuit in December 2018 on behalf of the homeless population of Grants Pass, Oregon, that challenged the city's anti-camping regulations. The city is currently under an injunction preventing local police from removing encampments or citing people who sleep outside in public space.

“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court will not solve the homelessness issue, however it does provide much needed clarity," according to a statement by city spokesman Jeff Kraus. "It confirms that cities like San Bernardino have the legal authority to maintain and clean public property and can make that public property available to all residents, not just those who are unhoused.

"We hope this ruling will encourage more individuals to accept the services

available to help them stabilize their lives and we look forward to returning San Bernardino parks to our families and children.

"The ruling does not affect the current injunction the City of San Bernardino is under restricting its ability to address encampments," Kraus worte. "So, despite the ruling, the City remains prohibited from performing encampment cleanups. We continue to work to have the injunction lifted or end the case and expect to have a resolution very soon.”

San Bernardino is subject to a preliminary injunction issued in January by Judge Terry Hatter in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the SoCal Trash Army and three individuals alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The plaintiffs also claim authorities illegal handled individuals' personal belongings during

an encampment cleanup.

The Supreme Court's 6-3 rejection of the constitutional challenge held that penalizing unhoused people for sleeping outside when there is no available shelter does not violate the Eighth Amendment. Justices Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

The ruling gave cities and counties broader legal powers to arrest, cite and fine people for sleeping outdoors in public areas and reversed legal protections for homeless residents in California and other states.

A prior federal court decision in Martin v. Boise by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals "held that the Eighth Amendment’s Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause bars cities from enforcing public-camping ordinances like these

against homeless individuals whenever the number of homeless individuals in a jurisdiction exceeds the number of 'practically available' shelter beds," according to the Supreme Court ruling.

"A handful of federal judges (can't) begin to 'match' the collective wisdom the American people possess in deciding 'how best to handle' a pressing social question like homelessness," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion. "The Constitution’s Eighth Amendment serves many important functions, but it does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy."

In the dissenting opinion, Sotomayor wrote, "Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime. For some

Metro directors approve plan to establish in-house police department

Aproposal for Metro to create its own police department has been approved by a 10-0 vote of its Board of Directors following public safety concerns and months of highly publicized violent crimes on its system, and Friday there is five-year plan to put it in place.

The Transit Community Public Safety Department will be rolled out over the course of five years. Metro's current contracts with its three law enforcement agencies — Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles Police Department and Long Beach Police Department — will remain in place until then, according to Robert Gummer, the agency's interim deputy chief of system security and law enforcement.

"So having greater control and accountability over law enforcement, centering on community safety and carebased strategies, and addressing the unique quality of life challenges on trains and buses — this is why I'm supporting us moving forward with a new model," Board Chair and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said prior to the vote, who joined the meeting remotely. "Again, a new model that will take years to implement."

Bass said she has felt strongly that law enforcement agencies were essentially "dumped" with the social, health and economic problems that governmental agencies have not supported. She added that Metro has an opportunity to create a department that can respond aggressively in a traditional manner similar to that of law enforcement, but also not burden law enforcement with social service needs.

The Board of Directors discussed four deployment models, outlining options to improve visibility of officers on bus and rail systems. Metro leaders chose to move forward with what was described as the "Enhanced Service Model."

This model will build upon what the agency currently has — retaining 386 officers — but adding more ambassadors, crisis interventionists, clinicians and homeless outreach providers. The goal is for the in-house department to have 673 staff working in public safety, an increase of about 227 from the current figure.

According to Metro officials, the plan is estimated to cost $192.6 million per year compared to the $194 million multiagency contract. The agency is expected to implement a "Zone-Based Deployment," creating five areas which will be overseen by the in-house public safety.

"You will have the ability to impart the values and expectations on all levels of the organization," Gummer told City News Service. "We will also be able to ensure a continuous and engaged law enforcement presence."

Gummer explained that through this in-house public

Homelessness drops slightly this year in Los Angeles area

The number of people experiencing homelessness in the Los Angeles area decreased slightly in 2024 compared with six consecutive years of increases, according to figures from the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count released Friday.

According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a city-county joint powers agency:

- 75,312 unhoused people LA County in 2024 compared with 75,518 in 2023, a decrease of 0.27%

-45,252 homeless individuals in the city of LA in 2024 compared with 46,260 in 2023, a 2.2% drop

-5.1% reduction in unsheltered homelessness in the county versus a 5.1% decrease last year, while the shelter count rose by 12.7% -10.7% decrease in unsheltered homelessness in the city, while the shelter count increased by 17.7%.

LAHSA officials said the downward trends happened because of "unprecedented policy alignment and investments" made by the local, state and federal governments, and they are

"cautiously optimistic about the direction of homelessness across LA County," according to published reports.

"For so many years, the count has shown increases in homelessness, and we have all felt that in our neighborhoods," LA Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement Friday. "But we leaned into change. And we have changed the trajectory of this crisis and have moved L.A. in a new direction.”

Bass added, "There is nothing we cannot do by taking on the status quo, putting politics aside, and rolling up our sleeves to work together. I want to thank the City Council, the County Board of Supervisors, LAHSA, our state, federal and community partners and our service provider partners for locking arms to confront this crisis with the urgency that it requires. This is not the end, it is the beginning — and we will build on this progress, together.”

LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn also released a statement Friday: "For the first time in years, the number of people sleeping

The Alhambra City Council last week authorized a staff to start accepting bids from firms to design a permanent dog park.

The future canine recreation facility will be located near the former Paw-Pup Dog Park pilot project area at 630 S. Almansor St., next to the Alhambra Golf Course.

“The Alhambra City Council is thrilled to see this initiative advancing,” Mayor Sasha Renée Pérez said in a statement. “Alhambra residents have long expressed their desire for a permanent dog park, particularly following the success of our pilot

on our streets is down and the number of people in our shelters is up. We have focused on shelters and we are doing a better job convincing people to come inside. The next step is building more permanent supportive housing and investing in long-term solutions to this crisis."

program. Now, we are able to make this a permanent feature for our residents and their furry friends!”

Last fall, the city hosted a temporary pilot “Paw-Pup Dog Park” for two months. The pop-up program fielded public input regarding a permanent dog park with a survey that earned more than 1,300 responses, according to the city. About 99% of survey-takers supported a permanent dog park in Alhambra.

Next steps entail city staff to find a professional engineering and design services firm to craft plans and specifications for the

Alhambra Dog Park Project, officials said. Expected dog park features include trees, synthetic turf, walking paths, a restroom, secure double fencing, benches, shade structures and dog play elements.

Proposals for the engineering and design services contract must be submitted to the Parks and Recreation Department no later than 5 p.m. Monday, July 22. More information is available at cityofalhambra.org.

7 million fentanyl pills, 3,700 pounds of power seized statewide this year

AARP grants aim to revitalize California alleys into vibrant public spaces

By Trimmel Gomes, Producer, Public News Service By Staff

Astatewidefentanyl crackdownthat focused on ports of entry along the southern border has resulted in authorities seizing 7 million pills and 3,725 pounds of power since January, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced last week.

Last month alone, investigators seized 1,170,893 pills containing fentanyl and 986 pounds of fentanyl powder.

“California’s robust partnerships to tackle illegal fentanyl are leading to significant results time and time again," Newsom said in a statement. "We will continue to take fentanyl out of our neighborhoods, hold drug traffickers accountable, and expand access to lifesaving medicine to benefit all Californians.”

The California National Guard’s Counterdrug Task Force assists local and federal law enforcement agencies attempting to take the deadly drug off the streets.

The task force "continues to play an important role in the fight against fentanyl,” CalGuard Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers said in a statement. “We are proud to be a part of this effort and will continue to provide critical resources to our local, state, federal, and tribal law enforcement partners.”

The task force gathers information to intercept illegal drug trafficking, using aircraft and ground

assets to support criminal investigations as well as supporting law enforcement personnel at border ports of entry to stop narcotics trafficking.

"CalGuard members who serve with the Counterdrug Task Force are embedded in cross-government initiatives to combat transnational criminal organizations and the trafficking of illegal narcotics — like fentanyl," according to a statement from the governor's office.

Earlier this month, Newsom more than doubled the number of CalGuard troops tasked with assisting the fentanyl smuggling crackdown from 155 troops to nearly 400.

The state has also launched opioids.ca.gov to help Californians find resources for addiction prevention and treatment and information on state efforts "to hold Big Pharma and drug-traffickers accountable in this crisis," according to Newsom's office.

As part of the governor’s Master Plan for Tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, over-the-counter CalRxbranded naloxone — the anti-overdose medication — is becoming increasingly available statewide.

"Through the Naloxone Distribution Project ... CalRx-branded over-thecounter ... naloxone HCL nasal spray, 4 mg, will be available for free to eligible organizations through the state or for sale for $24 per

twin-pack through Amneal," state officials said.

In 2023, Newsom raised the number of National Guard troops deployed to interdict drugs at U.S. ports of entry along the border by approximately 50%, according to the governor's office.

CalGuard-supported operations resulted in the record seizure of 62,224 pounds of fentanyl last year, a 1066% increase since 2021, officials said, adding that drug interdiction efforts are funded partially by $30 million from the state budget for expanding CalGuard’s efforts to stop drug trafficking by transnational criminal organizations.

Fentanyl is primarily smuggled into the country by U.S. citizens, state officials said.

In support of the Biden administration's bilateral agreement with China on counternarcotics, Newsom spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping in October about combating the transnational shipping of chemicals used to make fentanyl.

In June, the federal officials announced sanctions against drug traffickers who bring fentanyl and other drugs into the United States.

"The U.S. Treasury Department leverages its expertise to fight illicit financing and financial crimes to disrupt the flows of money that criminal organizations rely on to operate," state officials said.

Some select alleyways across San Diego are set to get vibrant makeovers thanks to a transformative community initiative.

Sue Peerson, lecturer in urban studies and planning at the University of California-San Diego, has been spearheading a project to transform drab alleys, typically used for parking and trash pickup, into greener, safer public spaces.

The "Alleys in Action" project has received a $20,000 flagship AARP Community Challenge grant, part of a broader initiative including 11 organizations throughout California.

The grants aim to help cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas become great places to live for people of all ages. With the help of her students and the Adams Avenue Business Association, they solicited community feedback through a pop-up event in the Normal Heights neighborhood.

"Our hope is that improving the physical conditions of this alleyway will create it as a public space that's a draw for people that are already in this neighborhood, that also has a connection to the business district and to these public spaces," Peerson explained.

The Normal Heights alley will see the creation of a large mural along with other beautification efforts

by November. This grant program is a cornerstone of AARP's nationwide Livable Communities initiative.

The grant initiative is part of its largest investment in community projects to date, with a total of $3.8 million awarded to 343 organizations nationwide.

Jennifer Berdugo, senior planning adviser to AARP California, said since 2017, the organization has awarded 57 grants totaling more than $660,000 to nonprofit organizations and government entities across the state.

"The goals are really to inspire change in communities in different areas like housing, transportation, parks, community resilience, which ties into disaster resilience as well," Berdugo noted.

Among this year's 11 grantees are PlacemakingUS, which will receive

more than $16,000 for a project to build a community comal, or traditional griddle, and engage older Meso-American women to revive the weekly tradition of tortilla making. Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates will receive $2,500 to conduct a bike audit of Rancho Cordova's first-ever roundabout project. And the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum will receive $10,000 to transform a parking lot into an outdoor plaza, with accessible benches to accommodate older adults attending planned events in the space.

Doyou remember the dot com crash in 2000? And, do you remember the mortgage crisis in 2008? When those devastating events occurred, it felt like things might never turn around. Finding a job felt impossible and, if you had one, you may have felt stuck. There weren’t many options. I remember friends who both could not find a job, but who could not sell their home. The stress was high all the way around.

When you're in the middle of a difficult time, it's hard to picture a different reality. It can feel hopeless. Hard times can bring up feelings of fear and desperation. We may feel paralyzed. Job searching can feel like an impossible task.

But, after events such as the dot com crash passed, we don't think about it too

much anymore. It's so far in the past that at times, we may forget that it ever happened. Additionally, if you were lucky enough to be in a good situation during tough times, you may not have felt their economic impact.

One hopeful statistic to remember is that economic downturns have historically lasted anywhere from six months to eighteen months. Although this length of time is certainly not nothing, it is not as long as it feels in the moment. And, there is an end to the pain. In addition, companies can sometimes be slow to change just before a presidential election – another event with an endpoint. In other words, if you are going through a difficult time, just remember that it's not permanent. It's not

Career corner: This is temporary

By Angela Copeland angela@copelandcoaching.com

a reflection of who you are, or what you are capable of. It's not the sign of the end of your career, or of what's to come in the future. Many very talented people are going through tough times at this moment. Often, these tough times are a reflection of things outside of your control, despite how they feel in the moment.

In fact, the reverse is also true. Many of the billionaires we admire are not only talented, but they also had good timing. For example, imagine if Bill Gates hadn't started using computers until the 90s. Or, imagine if Mark Zuckerberg were just finishing college today. They likely would have missed their window of success, despite how smart they might be.

During this tough time, give yourself a break. It's

to feel discouraged, and it makes sense to feel upset. Do your best to influence what you can control. Prepare for the future, when things will be more calm and fruitful. This may mean updating your resume. It

may mean getting involved in community organizations. It might even mean taking the time to work with a therapist or a career coach.

Take care of yourself, so that when things naturally turn around, you'll

Monrovia Old Town report: Déjà brew

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

As always, the City of Monrovia is set to bring us a spectacular fireworks extravaganza for the 4th of July as we celebrate the “birth” or independence of our nation. The fireworks show is set to be larger and longer than ever before. Library Park and the surrounding areas will likely be packed with people. A huge thank you to the city and city staff for putting on such an amazing party. I don’t think I can go one week without saying how lucky we are to live here!

be ready. And, remember, things will turn around. The economy will get better. The job market will improve. You will be okay.

Angela Copeland, a leadership and career expert, can be reached at www.angelacopeland.com.

June 30 marked the last of the summer concerts at Station Square. The remaining concerts from July 7 through Aug. 11 will be held at Library Park from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The line-up in order of appearance is The Skinny Ties (‘80s), Chico Band (Latin), Bumptown (Disco/ R&B), OC Groove (Soul/ Funk), Thunder (Country) and Upstream (Reggae). Pack up your favorite picnic fare, a picnic or chairs and a spot in the shade. These concerts are always lots of fun. I always get a kick out of watching everyone cuttin’ loose on the dance floor.

Looks like we have a new business coming to Old Town. At one point, 412 S. Myrtle was once home to our beloved Dollmaker’s Kattywompus. Since then, Lover Boys had a brief run there with a vintage clothing store. Super cute clothes and such a vibe! We were sad to see them go. Next up was supposed to be Sweet Ethan’s Café. Yes, you read that correctly. I guess the owners of Sweet Ethan’s Candy Store want to continue on with their marketing plan and are opening up under the split personality name of Evil Ethan’s. I would give you all three chances to guess

what their business concept is, but this isn’t the right forum for that. So, I’ll just tell you, and no, this isn’t déjà vu. According to their website, Evil Ethan’s will be a coffee shop. I know that once this gets to Facebook, people will ask questions like “Why would the city let another coffee shop open?” or say something like “We need a Cracker Barrel!” Well, the location being leased is zoned under Historic Downtown Commercial. Once someone applies for a business license, the city expects them to have a sound business plan. It is not up to the city to tell someone what a good business concept is or should be. Well, I love a good cup o’Joe, so best of luck to Ethan and all of the businesses named after him.

Just a reminder about our wonderful Farmer’s Market: It is EVERY Saturday, from

9 a.m. to 2 p.m. I just love it! Fruits, veggies, honey, a French bakery with THE BEST sourdough bread, there is hummus, frozen custard, a butcher and fishmonger. I know I am forget-

ting a few but go and see for yourself. There is live music and it is a lovely addition to our town. It’s not in Old Town, but I like to call it Old Town adjacent. One word of advice: get there early. It heats up out there. Last week I thought I was going to ignite. That probably saved me a lot of money, though. Wear a hat, wear sunscreen, but do try to get there early to beat the heat.

safety department, officials will be able to tactically assign resources to protect Metro's bus and rail by having more foot patrols and officers riding the system. The agency will have a "zone-deployment model," breaking up the system across the county into five areas, which officials said will give them the ability to meet the specific needs of those areas.

Metro staff explained that the multi-agency contract has had its challenges, such as the lack of alignment with Metro policies, procedures and safety approaches; a lack of power over how law enforcement personnel are deployed and their methods; and what officials described as a "continuous and unsustainable cost escalation."

Staff noted that each year the contract with law enforcement agencies has grown 10% to 15% annually.

County Sheriff Robert Luna, Los Angeles Police Department interim Chief Dominic Choi and Long Beach Police Department Chief Wally Hebeish — who attended the directors' meeting — pushed back against the proposal and exchanged, at times, tense words with members of the board.

"We have the same mission to keep our ridership safe and that is the number one priority, but we're responsible for meeting the terms of our contract, which I believe all of us are doing," Luna said. "I am concerned about the report that we

just talked about — that may be inaccurate and potentially misleading. I'm very concerned that the decisions being made are being made without the consultation of the current contracted law enforcement executives."

In response to concerns over deployment and law enforcement agencies being non-compliant with Metro's policies, Luna said they would willingly have more open conversations and address any issues with the other two chiefs agreeing.

"None of us have come up here before you in several years. I think that's unacceptable. You need to hear from us," Luna said.

Luna also said Metro may face a challenge in hiring — noting it takes about three years to get a police officer from recruiting, training and sworn-in.

Gummer told City News Service the agency feels that they will be able to recruit and hire potential candidates because the mission will be focused on protecting riders and ensuring the safety of the system.

"As the county sheriff responsible for public safety in this county, I have to

make sure that with the World Cup coming in, the Olympics and the (2027) Super Bowl — this is not a time to experiment with new projects," Luna said. "Public safety is too critical to do that with."

The law enforcement executives explained why the contractual costs have increased over the years, pointing to growth the Metro system has experienced. Choi noted that the department bills the agency about $188 to $189 per hour because 70% of the system is within their jurisdiction.

Luna noted that whether the agency moved forward with its plan for an in-house department that all three law enforcement executives would collaborate with Metro.

"It's kind of like a divorce where you still love each other but certain things have gotten in the way," said Ara J. Najarian, a Metro director and Glendale city councilman. "Sometimes things just don't work out. I don't think we are ever going to envision a system where we don't have any contact with our law enforcement partners."

Police seek suspects after 3 same-day armed robberies in Pasadena

By Staff

Police sought at least three men suspected of three separate armed robberies that occurred June 27 in Pasadena, according to published reports.

At 10:20 a.m. two thieves, one of whom was armed with a handgun, robbed a 54-yearold man depositing cash at an ATM in the 3500 block of East Foothill Boulevard before fleeing in a getaway car driven by a third suspect.

At 4:30 p.m. a 73-year-old woman was robbed outside a Trader Joe’s in the 400 block of North Rosemead Boulevard, and a gas station cashier was robbed at gunpoint at 9:30 p.m.

The ATM robbery victim was not physically harmed, and his total loss was approximately $175, his wallet and car keys, police told Pasadena Now. Police described the three suspects as Black men wearing dark clothing and ski masks. The

getaway vehicle may have been a light-colored, latemodel sedan, but police were still working to confirm the vehicle description.

In the second armed robbery, an elderly local woman was confronted in a parking lot after exiting her vehicle. Pasadena Police Department Lt. Tim Bundy told Pasadena Now that the suspect demanded her purse and brandished a firearm after she hesitated.

“The victim tried to hold onto her purse, but the suspect forcibly pulled it from her hands,” Bundy said.

The thief then fled in a vehicle driven by an accomplice southbound on Rosemead Boulevard. The victim was not injured, but the suspects stole her purse that contained about $280.

According to KTLA, the woman was standing next to her vehicle when two men —

one armed with a handgun — demanded her purse. She resisted and the suspects forcibly took her handbag, then got into a getaway car driven by a third suspect and fled the scene.

The third crime took place at an unspecified gas station where a cashier was working behind the counter around 9:30 p.m. as male suspect wearing a mask entered the store, KTLA reported.

“He suddenly asked me to hand over all the money from the register,” said the cashier, who declined to be identified. “I didn’t scream out, but I just questioned him saying, ‘Why would I give you the money?’”

At that point the suspect became quiet, produced a gun and started to threaten the cashier.

“He said, ‘I’m going to start counting right now and if you don’t hand over the

money, I’m going to straight shoot you,’” the victim said. Police believe the three suspects were involved in both robberies targeting victims at the bank and at Trader Joe’s, KTLA reported.

For the gas station hold-up, that incident involved a lone gunman and it was

unclear if that incident was connected to the other two robberies.

KTLA reported the suspect vehicle may be an older-model Honda SUV.

“I’m very surprised,” Mary Ann Hierman, the Trader Joe’s victim, told the TV station. “I thought

we were safe out here. It’s getting bad.” Authorities asked anyone with information about these armed robberies to contact the Pasadena police at 626-744-4241 or file an anonymous report via Crime Stoppers at 800-2228477.

TAKE NOTICE that, on July 17, 2024, the Monterey Park City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider an Interim Ordinance of the City of Monterey Park, extending Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 “An Interim Ordinance Prohibiting Permits for Land Use Entitlements Within the McCaslin Business Park (commonly known as Saturn Park) to Consider Adopting a Saturn Park Specific Plan in Accordance with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.”

WHEN: July 17, 2024, 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: City Hall Council Chambers – 320 West Newmark Avenue

The City Council will consider an Interim Ordinance to extend the initial 45-day term of Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 for an additional 10 months and 15 days. Copies of Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 are available for public review at the City Clerk’s Office, City of Monterey Park Hall, 320 W. Newmark Avenue, Monterey Park. A copy of the 10-day report required by Government Code Section 65858 describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 2245 is also available.

PURSUANT to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines, the Interim Ordinance to extend the moratorium is exempt 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 Urgency Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301; 15303, 15304(e); 15305; and 15311. Further, the adoption of the Urgency 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. This Ordinance does not authorize any new development entitlements, but simply establishes policies and procedures for allowing the previously approved project to be constructed. Any proposed project that will utilize the changes set forth in this Ordinance will be subject to CEQA review as part of the entitlement review of the project. The Ordinance will not adversely impact the environment and is therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

DOCUMENTS, including copies Urgency Ordinance No. 2245, the 10-day report for an Interim Ordinance is on file with the City Clerk’s office located at Monterey Park City Hall, 320 West Newmark Avenue. The staff report on this matter will be available in the City Clerk’s office on or about July 11, 2024, and available on the City’s website at http://www.montereypark.ca.gov/AgendaCenter.

With just over 185 days before the 2025 Tournament of Roses Parade, Fiesta Parade Floats — the annual procession's "most awarded float builder" — has been removed as an authorized designer due to its "failure to meet financial and technical criteria," leaving the organization without two long-time contributors to the traditional procession Monday.

The decision by the Tournament of Roses Association, which oversees the parade and the football game that follows, comes barely six months after the Irwindale-based designer won awards for all five of the floats it created for the January 2024 parade.

The firm and its founder had been an authorized Rose Parade designer for more than 40 years.

"We are grateful to Fiesta Parade Floats for

Award-winning Rose Parade designer removed after 40 years due to finances

their decades of service to the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association and the Rose Parade," Candy Carlson, communications director for the Tournament of Roses, told Pasadena Now. "We celebrate the amazing legacy of Fiesta Parade Floats, a legacy that we will never forget,"

The decision leaves the parade with two authorized designers, Phoenix Decorating Company in Irwindale and Artistic Entertainment Services in Azusa. In addition, several floats are designed and built by volunteers, including those for the cities of South Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge and Downey. It also means the company, which was established in 1988, will close, leaving its 18 employees in limbo, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Fiesta Floats owner Tim Estes, 68, said his company

By City News Service

has struggled financially since closing temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the decision cost him roughly $3.2 million.

Estes was also hospitalized for nine weeks after suffering a fractured skull, seven broken ribs and enduring multiple surgeries following a motorcycle crash, the Times reported.

"I feel horrible," Estes told the Times. "I feel horrible for my workers. I feel bad for my clients who depended on us to build nice floats ... I feel like I've let them all down."

The company's website credits Estes with more than "40 years of experience building floats. Fiesta Parade Floats president, Tim Estes, has personally overseen the construction of over 500 Rose Parade floats. Working handin-hand with a team of world-renowned designers,

and year-round support staff, Fiesta Parade Floats surpasses all other builders in floral technology, appli-

cation, and animation."

Fiesta Parade Floats was already creating designs for the 2025 parade, work that will either be turned over to the two remaining authorized designers or created through other means.

LAUSD sues insurers over alleged sex abuse coverage denial

By City News Service

The Los Angeles Unified School District is suing multiple insurance companies for allegedly balking at defending and compensating the district for more than 60 sexual abuse lawsuits filed under a 2019 law that allowed alleged victims to overcome the statute of limitations barrier.

The Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit names as defendants Aetna Insurance Co.; Central National Insurance Co. of Omaha; Cravens, Dargan & Co., Pacific Coast; Pacific Indemnity Co.; and Providence Washington Insurance Co. Representatives for Aetna and Central National Insurance did not immediately reply to requests for comment on the breach-of-contract suit

filed Wednesday. In October 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law AB 218, which created a three-year revival window for adult victims who were abused as minors to file civil sexual abuse lawsuits that were previously barred by the statute of limitations.

The bill's passage "resulted in a flood of litigation against LAUSD, as plaintiffs asserted, and continue to assert, claims against the district involving alleged childhood sexual assault, abuse and/or molestation," the suit states.

Each of the 61 underlying lawsuits were filed by victims of alleged childhood sexual assaults, allegedly by an LAUSD employee or someone affiliated with the district, according to

the suit, which further states that the insurance policies at issue were taken out by the LAUSD in the 1950s, 1960s and early to mid-1970s.

For the most part, the insurance companies "have shirked their contractual responsibilities to defend and indemnify the district against the negligence claims asserted in these alleged sex abuse cases, choosing instead to abandon the LAUSD and sit on the sidelines," the suit alleges.

The insurers have instead "constructed arbitrary and capricious obstacles to side-step their obligations and they have delayed, stalled, stonewalled and otherwise engaged in insurance coverage games-

manship to attempt to avoid their contractual duties to defend and indemnify LAUSD against the underlying lawsuits," the suit states.

with compensatory damages, the LAUSD is seeking recovery of attorneys' fees and the benefits the district believes

people, sleeping outside is their only option. The City of Grants Pass jails and fines those people for sleeping anywhere in public at any time, including in their cars, if they use as little as a blanket to keep warm or a rolled-up shirt as a pillow. For people with no access to shelter, that punishes them for being homeless. That is unconscionable and unconstitutional. Punishing people for their status is 'cruel and unusual' under the Eighth Amendment."

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said in a statement that the court ruling "empowers local governments to make judicious decisions about when to apply enforcement."

"To decrease the number of homeless individuals living on our streets, we need to use every tool available to compassionately extend housing hand in hand with supportive services," Barger said. "We must also be balanced in our approach to enforcement so that communities can enjoy public spaces taken over by homeless encampments. ...

"I want to be clear," she added. "The criminalization of people experiencing homelessness is wrong. But, having another tool to make measurable and effec-

tive change is critical. Our county and its cities must work collaboratively and in sync with one another so that we can successfully end homelessness. Homelessness is not a problem that can simply be shuffled around."

LA County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis in a statement called the ruling "unconscionable and inhumane," and said, "people experiencing homelessness should not be punished, whether it's a criminal violation or a civil citation, for simply trying to survive."

"Make no mistake, anticamping ordinances will be implemented unevenly across Los Angeles County by some jurisdictions that refuse to be a part of the solution in offering housing or wrap-around services," Solis said. "Allowing jurisdictions to implement anticamping ordinances will put a strain on those who want to do the right thing. Furthermore, it will only enable jurisdictions to shirk their responsibility and push their unhoused residents across their borders into other cities or even unincorporated areas. ...

"Allowing unsheltered homelessness to be a crime, even when there is no shelter, would mean more people cycling in and out

of our carceral systems, and would bring us no closer to solving our homelessness crisis."

Gov. Gavin Newsom supported the court's decision.

"Today's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court provides state and local officials the definitive authority to implement and enforce policies to clear unsafe encampments from our

streets," Newsom said in a statement. "This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities."

LA County Public Defender Ricardo D. García in a statement called the ruling "a shameful failure

to addressing the underlying issues that led to this crisis. It is fundamentally wrong to punish individuals for their lack of housing, which is often the result of systemic failures rather than personal choice."

Va Lecia Adams Kellum, CEO of Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, said the high court decision could lead to the numerous cities in LA County taking different approaches to enforcement.

"In the wake of the Grants Pass decision, it will be up to every city in the County of Los Angeles and the Board of Supervisors to decide how they move forward," Adams Kellum said in a statement.

"LAHSA will stay focused on ending unsheltered homelessness and speeding up how quickly people move into permanent housing," she said. "We do not agree with criminalizing homelessness. In fact, the results of this year's Homeless Count strongly support our best practices approach that aligns all levels of government and our providers around saving lives by resolving encampments and bringing people indoors. We believe in housing and services, not arrests."

The most recent

homeless count conducted in January reported Los Angeles County had an unhoused population of 75,312, compared with 75,518 in 2023, a 0.27% drop. The city of LA had 45,252 people experiencing homelessness, compared with 46,260 in 2023, a decrease of 2.2%.

LA Mayor Karen Bass' office touted these 2024 findings: homelessness in the city is down for the first time in six years; street homelessness dropped 10%, the first double-digit decrease in at least nine years; makeshift shelters declined 38%; and "the number of people who moved into permanent housing is at an all time high."

SanBernardino's homeless population this year was 1,417 with 977 unsheltered, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

According to national data, the U.S. homeless population increased last year to 12%, its highest level on record. Rising rents and dwindling pandemic relief have made it harder to obtain adequate shelter. Roughly 33% of the nation's homeless people live in California.
