Monrovia City Council considers 'inclusionary' affordable housing ordinance
By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com
The Monrovia City Council on Tuesday receivedabriefing on options for an ordinance requiring new developments to have affordable housing units.
The city's consultants gave a presentation to the council that included recommendations for housing policy via "inclusionary housing" regulations in the next five years. Following a financial analysis of real estate development in the region, Kaiser Marston Associatesrecommended new apartment buildings in Monrovia have a 6% lowincome units for buildings up to 20 residences and 10% lowincome units for complexes with more than 20 dwellings.
Kaiser Marston also suggested developers have the option of paying a fee in lieu of adding affordable units to apartment buildings with up to 20 living spaces. The consulting firm's report to the council suggested fees of $397,300 or $29.40 per square foot of the total building size for "ownership housing developments" such as condominiums. For apartments, the firm suggested $468,000 or $24.50 per square foot.
"Housing affordability is a big issue," Monrovia Community Development Director Craig Jimenez told council members, noting that the average rent in Monrovia is between $2,900 and $3,000 for an 800-square-foot unit.
"Housing sales are over $1 million for a dwelling
unit," Jimenez said. "That's a lot of money, it's just very expensive. All of this would be affected by our inclusionary ordinance because what that would do would be to dedicate a certain number of units based on a certain percentage based on the council's direction that we would have affordable units included in new housing developments."
Deputy Director of CommunityDevelopment Sheri Bermejo shared findings from research by city staff and consultants.
"Some of the obvious takeaways are Monrovia is producing housing," Bermejo said. "We've exceeded all of our above-moderate-income across all levels. The other takeaway is we're not really achieving affordable housing
to reach our goal. ... We're not achieving the amount of affordable housing that is set forth in our goal. I really don't think there's anywhere in California that's been able to produce the amount of housing in these affordable categories."
DavidBlumenthal from Sagecrest Planning+Environmental said, "Establishing a threshold (of required affordable units) that's too high could discourage development, and that's why we do the fiscal analysis. ... We see that it's just not true that it discourages development, we actually see an increase in development with the inclusionary housing."
Jimenez shared that the median income in LA County is $98,200, which is how city
officials will provide the baselines for setting the limit of rent prices. Moderate income is up to 120% of the median income, low income is up to 80% and very low is 50%.
Moderate annual income for a four-person household in the county is $117,850, low income is up to $100,900 and very low is $63,050, with an extremely low subset that caps at $37,850.
In LA County 88 cities and the county have an inclusionary housing ordinance, included in the more than 170 municipalities statewide currently include an Inclusionary Housing Program

Governor proclaims state of emergency as landslides continue in Rancho Palos Verdes
By City News Service
On the heels of power being shut off for hundreds of residences in Rancho Palos Verdes, Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency Tuesday in the city in an effort to free up state resources to assist in the response.
"The Governor's Office of Emergency Services has been coordinating with the city and county for nearly a year to support the response to the land movement, including providing technical assistance, supporting the local assistance center, facilitating a federal mitigation grant for groundwater work in the area, and helping officials with initial damage estimates," according to a statement from Newsom's office.
Some local officials have been pressuring Newsom to visit the city to view the impact of the landslides and to provide state assistance for residents. County Supervisor Janice Hahn said during a news conference Sunday that she had committed another $5 million in county funds to respond to the disaster, but far more money would be needed.
Hahn said she reached out to Newsom's office on Saturday, and estimated that upward of $1 billion in government funding might eventually be needed to address the situation.
The city of Rancho Palos Verdes declared a local emergency earlier this summer.
On Monday, Southern
California Edison cut electricity service to 105 residences in the Seaview area impacted by the landslide concerns. On Sunday, 140 homes in the Portuguese Bend community had their electrical service turned off. Those residents were also placed under an evacuation warning.
"Last night, Southern California Edison (SCE) notified the city and 105 out of 270 Seaview homes that their electricity service will be discontinued for varying lengths of time, due to the risk of utility equipment igniting a wildfire and other hazards caused by downed wires or damaged equipment impacted by landslide movement," the city said in an update Monday morning. "The power shutoff will start on Monday, September 2, 2024 at approximately 7 p.m. to the following: -- 47 homes will be without power for 24 hours; -- 40 properties will be without power for 1 to 3 weeks; -- 20 properties will be without power indefinitely."
SCE stationed a Community Care Vehicle at the corner of Narcissa Drive and Fruit Tree Road on Monday to offer support to residents, and the vehicle was stationed at the Ladera Linda Community Center at 32201 Forrestal Drive between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday to assist residents in the Portuguese Bend community.

Pasadena unveils post-pandemic economic strategy
By Staff
Pasadena last week unveiled a five-year plan that aims to sustain the city's recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, with a focus on "Deep Tech businesses" and addressing an oversupply of retail space.
The Economic Development Strategic Plan is designed to highlight and amplify Pasadena's strengths and maintain "its continued prosperity, vibrancy and charm," according to an Aug. 29 city statement. The plan is the result of "extensive research, collaboration, and community engagement" with input from city officials, local businesses and Pasadena stakeholders.
The city's Economic Development Division developed and crafted the plan, which identifies new opportunities and areas in need of improvement while highlighting the city's economic successes.
"Supporting and nurturing our local businesses is crucial for Pasadena’s fiscal health and overall prosperity," City Manager Miguel Marquez said in a statement. “The contributions of our business community are vital for maintaining the city's quality of life and economic stability."
Pasadena is on the verge of becoming a regional leader in "Deep Tech" industries, such as life sciences,
artificial intelligence and quantum technologies, according to city officials.
"With the city’s strong tech workforce and worldrenowned institutions like Caltech, Pasadena offers a unique environment for companies at the cutting edge of innovation," officials said. "Recent successes include the relocation of Xencor Inc. to Pasadena and the upcoming expansion of Motiv Space Systems in 2024, underscoring Pasadena's growing appeal in these high-growth sectors."
Since the commercial shutdown that characterized the COVID-19 pandemic, Pasadena's economy has steadily recovered, according to the city statement. Current employment levels are now close to the city's pre-pandemic peak of 80,000 jobs.
In 2023, commercial properties contributed more than $114 million to the city’s general fund, "with sales and tax revenues adding nearly $70 million," officials said. "Pasadena has outperformed neighboring cities and Los Angeles County in key economic metrics, boasting a lower office vacancy rate, lower unemployment rate, and higher median earnings."
The plan also aims to address an oversupply of retail properties with strat-
egies to reduce vacancies and improve commercial corridors.
"By refining retail space requirements and expanding allowable uses the city is ensuring a more vibrant, sustainable commercial landscape that meets the needs of both residents and visitors," according to the city statement.
Pasadena is also a regional destination for shopping and dining, with more total square feet of retail and food-service businesses than neighboring cities, officials said.
Featured recently in Vogue magazine and The New York Times, Pasadena's blend of historic charm and modern luxury makes the city a popular destination
“We are thrilled to reach this milestone in the Division, and now the exciting work of carrying out the plan’s initiatives begins,” Economic Development Division Director David Klug said in a statement. “Our success depends on strong collaboration with our community partners, and we look forward to working together to enhance Pasadena’s economy.”
The plan is based on six principles:
1. "Build Systems and Partnerships for Success — establishing strong public-private partnerships,
enhancing communication and marketing efforts, and forming a Deep Tech Council.
2. "Champion Life Sciences and Cultivate a Deep Tech Ecosystem — leveraging Pasadena’s competitive advantages to attract and retain industry leaders.
3. "Invest in Neighborhoods and Small Businesses — reducing barriers to market entry and improving neighborhood commercial corridors.
4. "Reinforce Pasadena as a Destination for Culture and Entertainment — with strategic investments in cultural and entertainment offerings that complement Pasadena’s status as a dining destination.
5. "Expand and Streamline Workforce Opportunities — through partnerships and training programs that prepare residents for the jobs of tomorrow.
6. "Prioritize Place and Accessibility Investments — enhancing Pasadena’s walkability and connectivity to create a more attractive environment for businesses, residents, and visitors."
More information about the plan is available from the Economic Development Division via EconomicDevelopment@CityOfPasadena. net or 626-744-4660.

Biden EPA rejects plastics industry’s fuzzy math that misleads customers about recycled content
By Lisa Song, ProPublica
Series: Selling a Mirage: The Deception Behind Plastic Recycling
The Environmental Protection Agency has taken the first ever federal action against a system that misleads consumers about the recycled content in plastic products.
A ProPublica investigation in June showed how the plastics industry uses a controversial accounting method called mass balance to advertise plastic products as 20% or 30% recycled even if they physically contain less than 1% recycled content.
It involves a number shuffle, done only on paper, that inflates the advertised recycledness of one product by reducing the advertised recycledness of another, often less lucrative, product. Done purely for marketing, it has been criticized by environmentalists as a greenwashing tactic.
According to an EPA policy released this month, companies that want the federal government’s stamp of approval for their sustainable products can no longer use such convoluted math.
The EPA’s Safer Choice standard is a voluntary program that allows manufacturers to affix a “Safer Choice” label to their dish soap, laundry detergent and other products. The roughly 1,800
products that have earned that distinction include household cleaners sold in grocery stores and more niche products like industrial carpet stain removers. Until now, the program’s criteria have focused on encouraging brands to reduce their use of toxic chemicals. But the updated standard, released on Aug. 8, strengthens requirements for sustainable packaging as well; plastic packaging must contain at least 15% postconsumer recycled content.
A key requirement: The content must be determined “by weight,” effectively forbidding the mathematical sleight of hand.
“This is the turning point” that will allow us to start killing the “hoax” of mass balance, said Jan Dell, a chemical engineer who founded The Last Beach Cleanup, a nonprofit fighting plastic pollution.
It’s the latest of several Biden administration actions to tackle the plastic crisis, which is smothering communities, oceans and even our bodies with toxic material that doesn’t break down in nature. Last month, the White House announced that the federal government — the world’s largest buyer of consumer products — would stop purchasing single-use plastic by 2035. Reuters also
reported that U.S. negotiators would support global limits on plastic production in ongoing talks for a United Nations plastics treaty.
This EPA decision shows that President Joe Biden’s team is adopting more aggressive policies to curb plastic, said Anthony Schiavo, senior director at Lux Research. Schiavo’s company analyzes global trends in emerging petrochemical and plastics technologies.
The new requirement effectively shuts out of the program any product made through a much-heralded chemical recycling technology called pyrolysis, which ProPublica’s investigation revealed to be so inefficient that it cannot yield more than 10% recycled content. In practice, it yields far less. Mass balance has been key to marketing those products and the technology.
A prominent plastics industry trade group defended mass balance and cited its use in other products like paper and fair-trade chocolate. “Mass balance is a widely accepted accounting tool used by a variety of industries that would encourage more recycled content in the overall economy,” Adam Peer, the American Chemistry Council’s senior director of plastics sustainability, said in an email.
The EPA gives annual awards to participants that have done particularly well in its program. Those recognized in 2023, for instance, included The Clorox Co., Rust-Oleum, Ecos and Seventh Generation, which grew their inventories of less-toxic cleaning products and educated consumers about the Safer Choice program.
ProPublica asked these four companies whether it would be difficult to transition to plastic packaging that meets the 15% threshold. None responded to requests for comment.
The EPA did not comment directly on the policy’s implications for pyrolysis or mass balance. The agency instead referred ProPublica to comments it made last year to the Federal Trade Commission about mass balance, calling it deceptive and advising against promoting it. “It would be clearer to
focus on calculations that involve the actual amount of material used,” the agency told the FTC.
After an earlier version of the EPA policy, posted in November, left the door open for the use of mass balance, activists including Dell warned the agency about the accounting method’s flaws.
And a group of state and local officials, including the attorneys general of 11 states, shared similar reservations on how the EPA should define recycled content.
In response to those comments, the EPA wrote that the final policy was written to “respect this consumer expectation” that “products with labels indicating use of recycled content contain post-consumer recycled content.”
“Common sense has prevailed here,” said Peter Blair, who co-wrote the activists’ comments with Dell. Blair, policy and advocacy
director at the environmental group Just Zero, said he was thrilled that the EPA’s final decision prioritized “truthful, accurate” labeling of recycled content for a program that’s not explicitly about plastic. The activists’ campaign reflects the mounting pressure to scrutinize and regulate how plastic — especially plastic recycled via newer technologies — is marketed. European regulators have banned the most extreme version of mass balance. And the FTC is updating the Green Guides, which spell out how companies can advertise recycled content in sustainable products. Those officials, too, are considering whether to allow mass balance. Blair hopes the EPA decision sets a precedent for where the federal government will stand.

To secure peace in the Indo-Pacific, include Taiwan in the UN system
By Lin Chia-lung, Minister of Foreign Affairs ROC (Taiwan)
Taiwan is an indispensable partner in global supply chains, producing more than 90 percent of the world’s high-end semiconductors and a significant portion of the advanced chips that are driving the AI revolution. Moreover, half of the world’s seaborne trade passes through the Taiwan Strait, making it a key international waterway. Yet even though large parts of the world—and billions of people—have enjoyed great prosperity thanks to the peace and stability that prevails across the strait, China continues to intensify its aggressive actions against Taiwan. Beijing’s attempts to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and expand authoritarianism throughout the Indo-Pacific region are a profound threat to peace and security all around the world.
In recent years, global leaders have used both bilateral and multilateral occasions—including G7, EU, NATO, and ASEAN meetings—to highlight the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. However, despite being aware of the importance of reducing tensions in the region, the United Nations (UN) has yet to take action to address the challenges posed by the PRC or to incorporate Taiwan in the UN system. As new
approaches to engaging with Taiwan have emerged in the global community, yielding huge global benefits, the idea that there must be a choice between the PRC and Taiwan in the UN system is a false dichotomy. Now is the right time for the UN to evolve and to rethink its unjustified policies that exclude Taiwan.
The first and most urgent task that the UN must address is to stop succumbing to the PRC’s pressure and refrains from distorting UN General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 adopted in 1971 any further. By willfully misrepresenting Resolution 2758 and falsely conflating it with its own “one China principle,” which differs from the “one China policy” adopted by many countries, the PRC has relentlessly suppressed Taiwan’s legitimate right to meaningfully participate in the UN and its specialized agencies.
This misrepresentation has far-reaching consequences beyond denying Taiwanese citizens and journalists access to UN premises and preventing them from visiting, attending meetings, and engaging in newsgathering. In fact, Beijing’s tactic of weaponizing Resolution 2758 to spread the fallacy that Taiwan is part of the PRC is one of the key elements in a wider campaign to establish the legal basis for justifying
a future armed invasion of Taiwan. Yet, contrary to the PRC’s false claims, Resolution 2758 merely addresses the issue of China’s representation in the UN. It does not mention Taiwan. It neither states that Taiwan is part of the PRC nor ascribes to the PRC any right to represent Taiwan in the UN system. In other words, the resolution has nothing to do with Taiwan.
This case is illustrative of the PRC’s growing assertiveness in imposing its will on the international stage.
And if left unchallenged and uncorrected, Beijing’s false claims will not only alter the status quo across the Taiwan Strait but also jeopardize peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific and threaten the rules-based international order.
Thankfully, in recent months, several senior US officials have criticized the PRC’s distortion of Resolution 2758 to justify its spurious claim over Taiwan. Furthermore, on July 30, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, an international
organization comprising over 250 members of parliament from 38 countries and the EU, demonstrated concrete support for Taiwan by passing a model resolution on Resolution 2758. To maintain international peace and security as outlined in the UN Charter, the UN must return to and encourage a correct interpretation of Resolution 2758 and explore means of resisting the PRC’s aggressive ambitions.
The PRC’s expansionism will not stop at Taiwan. Recent regulations introduced by the China Coast Guard are part of a broader gray-zone tactic designed to reinforce the PRC’s specious territorial claims and expand its influence. By introducing rules that justify the boarding and detaining of vessels and allow individuals to enter disputed maritime areas, Beijing aims to assert control over international waters and challenge global norms and claims. To ensure global peace and economic stability, the UN and the international community must not only reaffirm their concerns about Beijing’s coercive behavior but also work together to prevent its unlawful schemes.
History has shown that democratic resolve must be demonstrated ahead of time—before it is too late.
As the world’s foremost forum for international coop-
eration, the UN system is ideally positioned to address regional security challenges and support global economic stability. The upcoming 79th UNGA and its Summit of the Future present a timely opportunity to address key security concerns while advancing the broader goals of global sustainable development and building a more resilient global community for current and future generations.
Over many decades, Taiwan has proven to be a responsible and reliable partner to those it has worked with. More recently, we have also made significant contributions to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Embracing Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system would undoubtedly be the UN’s best option for mitigating any potential regional crisis, maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and spurring global prosperity.
Looking ahead, Taiwan will continue to play its part. Working with like-minded countries to maintain healthy and resilient global supply chains— particularly in the semiconductor industry— Taiwan is determined to help power the world forward for many more decades to come. For a more secure and better world, the UN system needs to include Taiwan.
New bill in Congress would improve end-of-life care
By Suzanne Potter, Producer, Public News Service
Abill just introduced in Congress would raise public awareness of issues surrounding the end of life, including palliative care, and hospice.
The Compassionate Care Act would establish guidelines for advance care planning
between health providers and patients.
Lisa Pahl, a licensed clinical social worker from Torrance, guides families through hospice.
"We live in a culture that is very avoidant of conversations on death and dying,"
Pahl observed. "Public education around the importance of planning ahead will improve access, so that everyday Americans know to ask for hospice and palliative care."
The bill would direct the government to develop education resources for
providers, expand telehealth options and facilitate a study of a national advance care planning registry, which would allow patients to transfer their advance directives from state to state.
Pahl encouraged people to spell out what they want
at the end of life so their relatives do not have to make expensive and painful decisions.
"Unless we have these conversations, we won't know," Pahl pointed out.
"Health care providers typically will err on the side of
doing it all, rather than going with comfort measures."
The bill is co-sponsored by Rep. Nanette Barragán, D-Calif., and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. A similar bill stalled in the House of Representatives in 2020 and never got a vote.

'Humane' and 'sustainable' fish labels may be misleading
By Jessica Scott-Reid for Sentient.
Broadcast version by
Suzanne Potter
for California News Service reporting for the Sentient-Public News Service Collaboration
Agrowing number of consumers want to know that their meat, dairy and eggs come from animals who were treated well. The trend has become so widespread, in fact, that in the past decade, animal welfare labels have become a familiar sight on grocery store shelves. Now, a growing number of industry and animal welfare groups say fish welfare labels are the next frontier. The once-pervasive "happy cow" marketing campaign of the early-aughts may soon find a new life with the fish industry, as we enter the era of the "happy fish." But just as with labels for meat and dairy, the promise does not always meet the reality. In other words, there's no reason to believe the practice described as humane-washing won't be a problem for fish too.
The Rise of 'Sustainably Raised' Fish
Americans are saying they want to eat a lot more fish these days, citing a mix of health and environmental concerns. Just as many consumers of meat are drawn to cuts marked "sustainable," fish shoppers too are looking for an environmental seal of approval. So much so, in fact, that the "sustainable" seafood market is predicted to reach more than $26 million by 2030.
One popular sustainability certification program for wild caught fish is the blue check from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), one of the oldest fish certifications, used for an estimated 15 percent of the global wild fish catch. The blue check signals to consumers that the fish "comes from healthy and sustainable fish stocks," according to the group, meaning that the fisheries considered the environmental impact and how well the fish populations were managed to avoid overfishing. So while restricting how many fish a company harvests doesn't address how fish die, it at
least avoids wiping out entire populations.
Yet the pledge does not always match the practice.
According to a 2020 analysis, researchers found that MSC blue check marketing materials often misrepresent the typical environment of the fisheries it certifies. Even though the certifying group "disproportionately features photographs of small-scale fisheries," most of the fish certified by MSC Blue Check are "overwhelmingly from industrial fisheries." And while around half of the group's promotional content "featured small-scale, lowimpact fishing methods," in reality, these types of fisheries represent a mere "7 percent of the products it certified."
In reaction to the study, the Marine Stewardship Council "raised concerns" about the authors' connection to a group that had criticized MSC in the past. The journal conducted a postpublication editorial review and found no errors in the study's findings, though it did revise two characterizations of the council in the article and revise the competing interest statement.
Sentient reached out to the Marine Stewardship Council to ask about what, if any, animal welfare standards the blue check promises. In an email response, Jackie Marks, senior communications and public relations manager for MSC replied that the organization is "on a mission to end overfishing," with a focus on environmentally sustainable fishing" and "ensuring that the health of all species and habitats are protected for the future." But, she continues, "humane harvest and animal sentience sit outside the MSC's remit."
Another resource for conscious consumers is the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch Guide. The online tool shows consumers which species and from which regions to "responsibly"
purchase, and which ones to avoid, covering wild fisheries and aquaculture operations alike. Here too, the emphasis is on environmental sustainability: "Seafood Watch's recommendations address the environmental impacts of seafood production to help ensure that it is fished and farmed in ways that promote the long-term well-being of wildlife and the environment," according to its website.
Yet in Seafood Watch's extensive standards for aquaculture, and for fisheries, (all 89 and 129 pages, respectively), standards that "promote the longterm well-being of wildlife," neither animal welfare nor humane treatment are mentioned. For now, most fish labels with claims about sustainability primarily cover environmental practices, but a new crop of labels that investigate fish welfare are on the horizon.
The Future of Fish Labels Includes Fish Welfare
Up until a few years ago, most consumers didn't give much thought to fish, how they lived or whether they were capable of suffering. But a growing body of research has uncovered evidence of fish sentience, including that some fish recognize themselves in the mirror, and are quite capable of feeling pain.
cators (OWI): water quality, morphology, behavior and mortality," she adds.
Heather Browning, PhD, a researcher and lecturer on animal welfare at the University of Southampton, raised concerns about the measures. Browning, telling industry publication
The Fish Site that these measures mostly focus more on animal health than well-being.
As the public learns more about the inner lives of all sorts of animals, including fish, some consumers are willing to pay more for products that assure them the fish was treated well. Fish and seafood companies are taking notice of this, along with some labeling bodies, including the Aquaculture Stewardship Council, which has called animal welfare "a key factor in defining 'responsible production."
In 2022, ASC published its Fish Health and Welfare Criterion draft, where the group called for certain welfare considerations to be included, including "anesthesia of fish during handling operations that can inflict pain or injury if fish are moving," and "maximum time fish can be out of water," that "shall be signed off by a veterinarian."
Much like most meat industry labels, the group leaves oversight mainly to farmers. ASC spokesperson Maria Filipa Castanheira tells Sentient that the group's "work on Fish Health and Welfare consists of a set of indicators that allows farmers to continuously monitor and evaluate their farming systems and the status of fish species." These are "real daily actions that take into account some key indicators defined as Operational Welfare Indi-
Other measures that could address animal wellbeing specifically include preventing overcrowding - which is common and can lead to stress - and avoiding sensory deprivation caused by a lack of natural stimuli. Mishandling during capture or transport can also cause fish to suffer, and slaughter methods for farmed fish, also often considered by animal protection advocates to be inhumane, are overlooked by many labeling schemes.
Fish Welfare for Wild and Farmed Fish
In the U.S., "wild caught" labeled fish do tend to experience some welfare benefits as compared to farmed fish, at least during their lives.
According to Lekelia Jenkins, PhD, associate professor of sustainability at Arizona State University, who specializes in solutions for sustainable fisheries, these animals "grow up in their natural environments, are allowed to engage in the ecosystem and provide their ecological function in their natural environment." This, she adds, "is a healthy thing for the environment and the fish up to the point of capture." Compare this to many fish raised in industrial aquaculture operations, where overcrowding and living in tanks can cause stress and suffering. That all takes a drastic turn for the worse, however, when fish are caught.
Is a Better Death for Fish Even Possible?
While regulating "humane slaughter" is notoriously difficult, a number of national welfare organizations are trying, including Australia's RSPCA, Friends of the Sea, RSPCA Assured and Best Aquaculture Practices, by making stunning before slaughter mandatory. Advocacy group Compassion in World Farming created a table that lists the standards - and lack thereof - for a variety of fish labeling schemes, including whether the way the fish is slaughtered is humane and whether stunning prior to killing is mandatory.
CIWF tells Sentient that for the group "humane slaughter" is codified as "slaughter without suffering, which can take one of those three forms: death is instantaneous; stunning is instantaneous and death intervenes before consciousness returns; death is more gradual but is non-aversive." It adds that "Instantaneous is interpreted by the EU as taking less than a second."
Included on CIWF's list is the Global Animal Partnership (GAP), which also requires stunning before slaughter, but unlike the others, also requires larger living conditions, minimized stocking densities and enrichment for farmed salmon. However, a representative from GAP tells Sentient that, for now, there are no GAP-certified salmon operations.
Still, there are other efforts, some more ambitious than others. One, the Ike Jime slaughtering method, aims to fully kill the fish in seconds, while the other, cell cultivated fish, requires no slaughter at all.
According to a 2021 report by Eurogroup for Animals, fish can die in any number of painful ways, including "chased to exhaustion," crushed or asphyxiated. Numerous other fish called bycatch are also caught up in nets and killed in the process, often in the same painful manner.

CASE NO.: PLANNED DEVELOPMENT 23-01 – Maryvale has submitted a Planned Development application, requesting to legalize and expand land uses consisting of transitional and supportive housing, mental health services, administrative services, early education, daycare, religious and institutional uses, and open space and recreational uses offered at 7600 Graves Avenue, thereby changing the permissible uses of the site. The project’s scope of work entails tenant improvements to both the ground floor and second floor of Laboure Hall to adapt its previous use as an orphanage to transitional and supportive housing; these tenant improvements include, but are not limited to, the reconfiguration of existing kitchen spaces and conversion of dormitory-style suites with communal bathrooms to individual family suites with private bathrooms. No physical expansion of the existing buildings onsite is proposed as a part of the Planned Development application. Section 17.24.040(E) of the City of Rosemead’s Municipal Code (RMC) states that “changes in the use shown in the Development Plan shall be considered in like manner as changes in the Zoning Map and shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Title, except such changes may be accomplished by a resolution rather than by ordinance.” The site consists of one parcel (APN: 5285-016-020) that encompasses a total lot area of 594,594 square feet (13.65 acres) and is located at 7600 Graves Avenue in the Planned Development (P-D) zone.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines outline a list of classes of projects that are deemed to have minimal environmental impact and thus are categorically exempt from the full environmental review process required by CEQA.

Monrovia City Notices
ORDINANCE NO. 2024-07
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 17.14.020 (USE RESTRICTIONS FOR THE HCD ZONE) OF THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES TO THE PERMITTED USE TYPES FOR THE HISTORIC COMMERCIAL DOWNTOWN (HCD) ZONE, AND FINDING ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA does ordainas follows:
SECTION 1. City staff has initiated an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of the Monrovia Municipal Code to amend the use regulations to include “governmental services” as a permitted use in the Historic Commercial Downtown (HCD) zone.
SECTION 2. On July 10, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2024-07. At the hearing, all interested persons were given the opportunity to be heard. The Planning Commission received and considered the staff report and all the information, evidence and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-0005 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 2024-07 to the City Council.
SECTION 3. On August 6, 2024, the City Council of the City of Monrovia conducted a duly noticed public hearing on Ordinance No. 2024-07.

all the information, evidence, and testimony presented in connection with this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines, City staff has determined that Ordinance No. 2024-07 is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. City staff has determined that the adoption of this Ordinance will not have a significant environmental effect and therefore, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15061(b)(3)), and independently, the Ordinance is categorically exempt (Class 5) pursuant to Section 15305 of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR § 15305). The Ordinance only expands the list of allowable uses to include “governmental services,” as defined in the Monrovia Municipal Code and currently permitted in the P/QP zone, as a permitted use within existing buildings in the HCD zone.

The Ordinance does not change the density or development standards within the HCD zone, or change the existing definition of “governmental services.” New development within the HCD zone must be reviewed under existing processes and regulations prescribed by the Monrovia Municipal Code. The City Council has reviewed the Ordinance and based upon the whole record before it, in the exercise of its independent judgement and analysis, concurs that City staff correctly concluded that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, and independently, that the Ordinance meets the qualifications of a Class 5 Categorical Exemption.
SECTION 5. The custodian of records for all materials that constitute the record of the proceedings upon which this decision is based is the City Clerk. Those documents are available for public review in the Office of the City Clerk located at 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016.

HB company owner convicted of identity theft in alleged loan fraud scheme
By City News Service
The owner of a Huntington Beachbased company was convicted Tuesday of identity theft in an alleged $6 million nationwide student loan fraud scheme, but jurors deadlocked on multiple other counts after 11 days of deliberations.
Angela Kathryn Mirabella, 49, was convicted of one felony count of identity theft. During the trial 24 other felony counts were thrown out, and jurors deadlocked on 62 other counts including conspiracy, computer access and fraud, identity theft, grand theft and money laundering.
During the trial, Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard King threw out a case against co-defendant Paulina Francine Pacheco, 35, an employee, who was charged with identity theft, computer access and fraud and grand theft.
Pacheco was cleared of being one of the callers who "tricked" student loan holders, according to Deputy Attorney General Tawnya Austin. Her attorney, Rob Harley, said his client was a woman who "jumped at the chance" to take a more professional job after years as a waitress and did nothing wrong.
Co-defendants Cesar Sandoval-Vilchis, 38, Stephen Allen Gamboa, 42,
Briana Nacole Graham, 38, Matthew Bruce Walsh, 30, and Teresa Marie Lovato, 48, have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. They all had agreements with prosecutors to testify in the trial.
King set Oct. 25 for the next date to consider sentencing and a retrial on the remaining counts. The jury deadlocked 10-2 for guilt on some counts and 11-1 for guilty on other counts.
Austin told jurors in her opening statement of the trial that while superficially the case may seem complicated, "It's really a simple bait and switch."
In closing arguments, she said, "The entire company is a scam."
The loan holders "believed they were actually speaking to the Department of Education" when Mirabella's employees called them, Austin said.
"This crime is prolific," Austin said, adding there were about 13,000 student loan accounts related to the company.
One of the victims learned that her loans were never changed or adjusted, Austin said. She thought her payments were going toward the loan, Austin added.
"It's a story of greed,"
Austin said. "Rules were bent. They were busted. It was a way to make millions of dollars off the backs of people who were struggling."
But the money the loan holders paid for help winning student loan forgiveness "went directly to Mirabella," and not the lenders, Austin said.
Mirabella's company would generate leads from loan holders such as Kristen Torres, who owed $9,000,and was struggling to make her payments, Austin said.
But most of the loan holders did not qualify for loan forgiveness, Austin said.
When Torres received a notice she was missing payments, she called for Pacheco, who by that time had handed her off to the processing department, Austin said.
Pacheco told her to put those agents calling her about missed payments on the government's do-notcall list and to ignore them, Austin said.
"To her detriment she didn't make payments and what was a $9,000 loan was now a $12,000 loan," Austin said. "This scheme was repeated over and over again."

Man pleads not guilty to attempted murder of woman at Metro station
By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com
Aman accused of brutally attacking a woman at a Metro train station in Pasadena pleaded not guilty last week to attempted murder and mayhem charges.
Juan Pablo Flores, 33, is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of throwing the woman onto the train tracks, then into a lane of traffic on the 210 Freeway, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. The attack on a woman at the Metro A Line Allen Station occurred Aug. 7 around 5:30 a.m.
Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Transit Services Bureau responded to the station after receiving a report of an assault, according to the LASD. The victim told deputies she was assaulted in an unprovoked attack by an adult male who she did not know.
Flores allegedly punched the woman numerous times causing her to fall to the ground, where he continued to punch her, sheriff's officials said. Flores then pushed her onto the tracks and dragged her across the cement freeway divider and into the carpool lane on the adjacent 210 Freeway.
The victim managed to get away from her attacker and get back to the station platform, according to the sheriff's department. She was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
Transit deputies found and arrested Flores at the intersection of Allen Avenue and Villa Street without incident, authorities said.
"Our thoughts are with the victim and her loved ones as she begins her journey toward recovery following this horrific attack," District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement announcing
the charges Aug. 12. "No one should have to endure such brutality, and everyone deserves to go about their day without fear for their safety. We will not tolerate violence on our transit system and will continue holding those responsible
need to urgently address safety issues, not only on the Metro train system but also at stations."
Barger said she expects a full report from Metro about new security measures to ensure safety, especially during early-morning commute hours.
"Our Metro board has already taken some steps to improve public safety, including enforcing fares," Barger said. "But it's obvious to me that our Metro system commuters are still confronted with serious issues that cannot be ignored."
fully accountable for their crimes."
In a statement shortly after the attack, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger commended deputies for their swift response and said, "This incident is a perfect example of why we
Supervisor Janice Hahn in a statement called on the board to do "a full investigation into this incident, an accounting of where both Metro's contracted law enforcement and transit security were when this woman was attacked, and a plan to increase security
during early morning commuting hours."
Hahn, who along with Barger is on the Metro Board of Directors, said "the details of the attack against a woman early this morning at the Allen Station in Pasadena are disturbing and I am grateful that the victim is recovering and that the suspect is in custody."
Flores has remained behind bars since his arrest less than an hour after the attack, according to jail records.
His next court date is Oct. 9 in Pasadena, where a judge will set a date for a hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to allow the case against him to proceed to trial. If convicted as charged, Flores could face a potential life prison sentence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Casino Night event in Arcadia to support families battling pediatric cancer
AMonrovia-based nonprofit's Casino Night Fall FUNraiser that assists children and their families in the fight against pediatric cancer is set for Sept. 21, event organizers said Wednesday.
Here to Serve's gambling-themed fundraiser is scheduled to take place at the Community Center in Arcadia, 356 Campus Drive. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
“There is a huge gap in cancer health care. It happens in the home where more than 60% of the cancer treatment journey happens and there is no support," Here to Serve founder and CEO Katie Quintas said in a statement to Monrovia Weekly. "Here to Serve comprehen-
sively fills that gap. However, we are highly underfunded because the cancer category is owned by cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Their multimillion marketing budgets keep us silent."
Quintas noted that an extremely small percentage of all dollars raised to fight cancer goes to patients and their families who are actually experiencing the disease.
"Instead, research and hospitals leverage cancer patients' journeys to fund themselves while leaving patients and their families to navigate and fund treatment by themselves," Quintas said, adding that her organization provides "practical support
warning.
"In contrast to the Portuguese Bend Community, Seaview's sewage collection system is gravity fed and operated/maintained by LA County Department of Public Works using generators. As a result, there is no imminent public health concern related to the sewer system," city officials said. "However, please identify your specific zone, in the event authorities need to issue an evacuation notice in the future.
"Without gas and/or electricity service, many residents may choose to seek alternative housing arrangements for the foreseeable future. The city is identifying hotels and other accommodations that can offer discounted rates for residents."
Residents in the Portuguese Bend community have been advised to be ready to evacuate on short notice, but most remain in their homes for now thanks to the presence of backup generators in the area.
"SCE has seen a significant increase in the number of repairs needed to keep
the power on safely, and we need to perform critical work," the utility told residents. "We are unable to effectively monitor the situation because of the land movement in the area."
The land movement in Rancho Palos Verdes has accelerated across 680 acres following heavy rains in spring 2023, causing damage to homes, roads and utilities.
"There is no playbook for an emergency like this one," Hahn said Sunday. "We're sparing no expense. ... This is bigger than Rancho Palos Verdes. This land movement is so gigantic and so damaging, that one city should not have to bear the burden alone."
The affected areas for the power shutoff can be found at rpvca.gov/1707/LandMovement-Updates. Officials said residents can also check to see whether they are in the evacuation area at protect.genasys.com/search or on the genasys Protect app. Residents can also call 800-250-7339 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 a.m.

in the home like meals, child and pet care, financial support, respite, holiday help and more" — and all in one central place.
"Cancer is a three legged stool," Quintas said. "Cancer research, hospitals that treat cancer and those going through the cancer journey! All three need the same support and attention!”
FUNraiser attendees will have the opportunity to help support families going though pediatric cancer by enjoying casino games and other fundraising activities.
Event features include the casino games poker, blackjack, roulette and craps, a live and silent auction, dinner, a complimentary wine or beer and speaker Abigail Ruiz,

to 5 p.m. for updated information.
Rancho Palos Verdes City Manager Ara Mihranian said Sunday that three generators were procured by residents and installed by city officials to power the area's sewer system.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said he authorized the use of drones to help guard against possible criminal activity targeting the homes of residents who might leave the area.
The utility announced the initial shutoff Saturday.
"SCE has determined
there is a public safety threat. Electricity service will be discontinued in these zones effective Sunday, September 1 at 12 p.m. PST," officials announced Saturday. "DO NOT USE WATER OR PLUMBING AFTER THE POWER IS SHUT OFF — THIS COULD RESULT IN A SEWER SPILL. All persons in these zones should prepare to evacuate and seek alternative housing. Pack important documents, medications, and essential items. Make arrangements for pets and animals," the statement continued.

president for customer engagement, said Sunday the utility made the "difficult decision" to disconnect the power due to the lack of solid ground, with the danger of disturbed power lines causing a wildfire being just one concern.
He added that some areas of the peninsula were seeing land movement of 1 foot per week, and other officials warned of the possibility of a "catastrophic failure" to the area's infrastructure.
The power interruption is the latest development in an ongoing crisis related to the land movement. The landslides have resulted in roadway damage and the red-tagging of two homes that were damaged severely enough to be dangerous to inhabit.
The land movement has also caused water and gas distribution pipes to break, displaced sanitary sewer collection pipes and made utility poles lean.
On July 29, despite protests from residents and city officials, Southern California Gas Co. cut off natural gas service to 135 homes in the Portuguese Bend
community due to concerns about the land movement. Residents spent the first weekend after the gas shutoff hustling to find propane and electric alternatives so they could stay in their homes. Officials did not order evacuations at that time because no gas leaks were detected.
Gas company officials said the area "continues to experience significant new land movement damaging roads, homes and further threatening the safety of SoCalGas' infrastructure."
The city had warned residents that SCE officials said they might discontinue electricity in the future if conditions warranted.
On Aug. 28, officials said that land movement the previous weekend caused an approximately 10,000gallon sewer spill on private property along Palos Verdes Drive South near Narcissa Drive. The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, the agency that operates the main trunk sewers that transport wastewater out of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, responded to stop the spill and make an emergency repair.

Northeast LA street improvement project receives $36M
By City News Service
Astreet improvement project for two northeast Los Angeles neighborhoods will receive an additional $36 million, increasing the total investment to $80 million, Councilman Kevin de León announced last week.
Funding will support the Valley Boulevard Multi-Modal Mobility Project, a street safety initiative for a corridor connecting the El Sereno and Lincoln Heights areas. De León, who represents the 14th District encompassing downtown LA and other nearby neighborhoods, held a news conference Aug. 28 to highlight the effort, which will bring 4.5 miles of protected bike lanes, add peak period bus-only lanes, new pedestrian lighting, ADA-accessible sidewalks
and expanded green spaces.
The project is also intended to benefit Parque de Mexico in Lincoln Park by preserving and enhancing cultural landmarks, such as statues donated by Mexican states.
About $9 million of the $36 million comes from the state's Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities, while Metro provided the other $27 million, according to the councilman's office.
Officials noted that much of the total $80 million secured for the initiative is redirected funding from the now-defunct Long Beach (710) Freeway expansion project. In 2021, Metro and Caltrans suspended plans to widen the 710 Freeway
A5-year-old boy was recovering at home Tuesday after a mountain lion grabbed him by the head and started to run away with him at Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas..
The attack occurred just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the Tapia Park section of the
made contact with loan holders they asked for an email and a date of birth so they could access federal files, Austin said.
"Based on that opening (in the sales pitch) they believed they were talking to the Department of Education," Austin said.
They also used personal identifying information to access files to change the terms of their student aid without their consent, prosecutors said.
Also, the script included the phrase, "Congratulations, you've been pre-approved" for
after challenges related to the federal Clean Air Act and other environmental concerns.
Caltrans decided to fund local street improvement projects instead of building a freeway tunnel that would have connected the 710 Freeway with the Foothill (210) Freeway.
"For decades, our community has been unfairly burdened by the flawed 710 Freeway expansion -- a project that was an environmental disaster targeting a predominantly Latino community," de León said in a statement. "But today marks a turning point. This isn't just about improving roads and adding bike lanes. It's about restoring justice to a community
that has been neglected and harmed."
Street improvements in the northeast LA area are expected to reduce traffic congestion, improve public
safety and create opportunities for local businesses, officials said.
"We're building a future where this corridor isn't just a way to get from point A to point B, but a destination in its own right — a place where families can gather, businesses can thrive, and our rich cultural heritage is celebrated," de León said.

state park, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"A family group from Woodland Hills was having a picnic at Malibu Creek State Park, consisting of at least six adults and a few children," according to the state agency. "The children were playing in the immediate
By City News Service
vicinity of the family's picnic table when a mountain lion attacked a 5-year- old boy, causing significant but nonlife-threatening injuries. One or more adults charged at the lion, and it released the boy. Multiple witnesses saw the attack and observed the mountain lion climb up a nearby tree."
The boy's aunt told KTLA5 that the father heard someone scream the boy's name and came running, then he grabbed the mountain lion with his hands and fought until the lion released the boy.
CDFW officials said the lion remained in the tree until park rangers arrived.
Fraud scheme
loan forgiveness, Austin said.
The alleged scheme involving about 19,000 borrowers nationwide, including 3,000 in California, ran from 2017 through 2020, Austin said.
At one point, Mirabella contracted with Equitable Acceptance that opened credit accounts in the names of borrowers without their consent and was paid in exchange, prosecutors alleged.
The company was "destroyed" when many victims reported they didn't apply for the credit cards,
Austin said.
The call center employees would also push forbearance, which would suspend payments, Austin said.
What the company offered was "impossible," Austin said.
"You could never provide what you claim to be selling — that's the fraud," Austin said.
Department of Education officials who monitor IP addresses noticed the websites Mirabella controlled were linked to an alarming number of student loan defaults, so those
addresses were blocked, Austin said.
Mirabella's attorney, Bobby Samini, told jurors his client's "interest was to help people navigate what was a complicated process."
The banks handling the loans "made it complicated... so people turned to" thirdparty alternatives, Samini said.
Mirabella's business had "growing pains" so she hired help for processing claims, Samini said. And that effort was successful, he added.
"You're going to have to determine her intent," Samini
"In consultation with CDFW wildlife officers, they deemed the mountain lion a threat to public safety and a ranger euthanized it via firearm," according to the state.
The boy was flown to Northridge Hospital Medical Center for treatment and was eventually released,
although family indicated he had to return to the hospital due to complications from his eye injuries.
Malibu Creek State Park is within the Santa Monica Mountains. It was the former site of the 20th Century Fox movie ranch and the outdoor backdrop for the "M*A*S*H" television series.
said. "And her intent was to make the company work."
In his closing argument, Samini said, "There is absolutely no way to substantiate that Ms. Mirabella had an intent to defraud or to do anything criminal... This was a start-up business. It was intended to help people."
Equitable was hired to help with processing claims and failed so Mirabella turned elsewhere and got results, he added.
Harley said Pacheco took a job with Mirabella's firm in 2017. At the time she was single and was driving
a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta with 240,000 miles on it, he added. She worked as a waitress for 10 years after graduating high school, Harley said.
"She spent days and weeks studying" the student loan forgiveness process as part of her training, Harley said.
Torres was routed to Pacheco, who obtained her personal information with Torres' consent so the defendant could provide various options she had for help paying her loans, Harley said.

$1.7M from feds to bolster Valley Blvd., senior center in Alhambra
Alhambra will receive $1.7 million in federal funding for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure on Valley Boulevard and upgrades to the Joslyn senior center, officials announced Thursday.
Rep. Judy Chu, a Democrat who represents Alhambra and other areas of the San Gabriel Valley, secured the funding as part of the Community Project Funding program.
The city will receive $1.7 million for the Valley Boulevard project and $500,000 for the senior center upgrades.
In addition to Alhambra's funding, Chu said in a statement she secured nearly $30 million for SGV projects with the passage of the July 2022 appropriations bill. Projects include restoration of the San Gabriel Basin, building new affordable housing urban development initiatives and combatting youth homelessness.
The Valley Boulevard project's goal is to improve safety and accessibility along the heavily traveled thoroughfare in Alhambra and the San Gabriel Valley region, which often experiences heavy traffic congestion.
"The project improves access to transit via pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements as well as bus stop improvements," according to Chu's office. "Further, it supports the
By Staff
establishment of active transportation, a strategic priority for Alhambra."
The project's clean transportation component includes upgrades to bus stops, pedestrian infrastructure and bike routes to encourage residents to use more active transportation options rather than motor vehicles.
"The improvements can reduce exposure to pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions and consequently improve public health by encouraging residents to use active transportation to integrate physical activities in their lives while enhancing traffic safety," Chu's office reported. "The project rebalances the corridor into complete streets and closes existing gaps to mobility while ensuring greater local and regional connectivity."
The Joslyn Adult Recreation Center is Alhambra's only gathering place for seniors and serves as a hub for services, resources and socializing for a diverse population.
The $500,000 in funding is for "critical repairs to the roof and improving accessibility through lighting, landscaping, and thoughtful design," according to Chu's office. "These improvements will revitalize the space while addressing critical repairs in order to ensure that the Senior Center can continue to provide vital community resources and programming."
City officials estimated 40,000 seniors use the center, which hosts a nutrition program and provides transportation, case management and a variety of programs.
lendale police on Thursday arrested two men suspected of fatally shooting a 54-yearold local resident earlier this month.
