Supervisors call for review of Los Padrinos depopulation plan

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

In response to a court ordered plan submitted last week to reduce the number of youth detainees at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors instructed the chief probation officer Tuesday to review other options for depopulating the troubled facility.

Supervisors cited an April 24 meeting of the county's Probation Oversight Commission that yielded a broader set of recommendations intended to safely reduce the Downey juvenile hall's population, compared with the strategy submitted Friday by Chief Probation Officer Guillermo Viera Rosa to move youth to other facilities.

Earlier in April, LA Superior Court Judge Michael Espinoza directed the Probation Department to submit a plan to depopulate Los Padrinos. The facility has been operating for several months despite a shutdown order by state regulators, who deemed it unsuitable to house youth.

"The Probation Department has made it clear that moving youth to other facilities is the primary

strategy they plan to deploy to comply with the Judge’s order," according to a statement from Supervisor Janice Hahn's office. "However, there is an opportunity to do more."

The commission's April 24 recommendations included considering some youth for release and expediting the transfer to other facilities of detainees who have already been sentenced. A motion Tuesday by Hahn and Supervisor Lindsey Horvath called on the department to consider these and additional recommendations.

While the Probation Department plan would reduce the facility's popula-

tion from 278 to 175, Hahn wants the number reduced to 100.

"The Probation Department is going to need to move youth from Los Padrinos to other Probation facilities, but that shouldn't be the only strategy we rely on," Hahn said in a statement. "Our Probation Oversight Commission has put forward thoughtful recommendations to reduce the number of young people coming into our custody and work with the courts to identify youth who can and should be safely released with supportive programs or

ankle monitors. Our Probation Department needs to consider all these strategies and if there are any they won't pursue, they need to be transparent about why."

In addition to considering some youth for monitored release, the commission also suggested an overhaul to the intake process in an effort to slow the influx of new detainees and relocating lower-risk boys awaiting sentencing to Probation Department camps.

Commissioners and supervisors also called for evaluating youth detainees

LA County board seeks better emergency prep at Mirador

Apartments

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday called for improved emergency preparedness and response for the Mirador Apartments in Altadena after deficiencies were experienced by residents during the Eaton Fire.

The approved motion by Board Chair Kathryn Barger calls for a focused effort by county agencies to provide better assistance during future emergencies for Mirador residents, who are older adults, people with disabilities, mobility issues and medical conditions and formerly unhoused county residents.

"Recently,concerns regarding the residents of the Mirador Apartments ... shared that they had little to no assistance during the storms and were left to fend for themselves," according to the motion that the board will consider Tuesday.

“Many residents of the Mirador Apartments were left to navigate a dangerous situation on their own, despite being among the most medically and physically vulnerable in our

communities,” said Barger said in a statement. “My motion seeks accountability and concrete improvements to ensure safety isn’t compromised in future emergencies.”

According to the motion, buildingmanagement notified residents they could safely return 15 days after being evacuated amid the intense firestorm fueled by hurricane-force winds the night of Jan. 7. Upon their return, Mirador residents found that the building was unsafe and still full of ash, dust and the heavy odor of smoke.

The motion directs the Los Angeles County Department of Aging and Disabilities to directly engage with the senior residents at the apartment complex. County workers "will assess their needs, enhance support systems and improve emergency response planning tailored to their circumstances," according to Barger's office.

If adopted, the motion will also require county agencies to explore methods to improve emergency

LAHSA seeks additional funds from LA for staff, other services

City News Service

ACity Council committee asked for reports Friday related to proposed funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority for the 2025-26 fiscal year, as elected officials consider changing its approach to the crisis after a county decision to pull millions of dollars and staff from the agency.

LAHSA officials asked the five-member Budget and Finance Committee on May 1 to meet its 15% rate for administrative staff, covering what they described as a $2.3 million gap. They say without additional funding, it would impact the agency's core functions such as conducting the annual homeless count, managing the homeless management information system and more than 250 city contracts.

"The county's recent decision to withdraw its Measure A funding will inevitably alter LAHSA's structure," said CEO Va Lecia Adams Kellum, who resigned in April but remains in her position while the agency conducts a nationwide search for a new leader. "We're making preparations for an altered landscape and new ways of operating in the coming months, but business

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass proposed a 4.9% decrease, or a reduction of $46.8 million, in homelessness spending for the 2025-26 fiscal year. The mayor set aside $904.2 million in total funds compared to $951.1 million in the current fiscal year, according to city documents.

Of the $904.2 million, $302.7 million comes from the general fund and the remaining $601.4 million are special funds such as county, state and federal dollars, among other sources.

LAHSA would receive roughly $50.6 million, an increase compared to $42.7 million in the 2024-25 fiscal year. The proposal sets aside $4.6 million to cover administration and operations.

To cover those 250 city contracts, LAHSA officials said they need 140 staff members. These workers would manage procurements, process invoices and payments each month and monitor performance, among other duties. The city's total administration allocation is the equivalent of 66 staff members, leaving 74 in need of funding.

In previous years, Measure H covered those

remaining positions, but that has changed.

The county Board of Supervisors pulled some $300 million generated by Measure A, a voter-approved half-cent tax that replaced Measure H, a quarter- cent tax, for homelessness prevention, related services and initiatives. Additionally, the county will transfer those funds and a number of staff to a new county department of homelessness by July 1, 2026.

That decision came in response to scathing audits detailing LAHSA's failures in financial accounting of services and a lack of transparency related to performance outcomes.

Adams Kellum said staff identified issues raised in audits and assessments long before. She also touted how the agency made significant improvements in contract administration, program oversight and shared data.

"You have my deep commitment to a thoughtful and clear transition that will prioritize continuity of care with minimal disruption," Adams Kellum said. "The city cannot afford to lose its momentum, not when your investments are finally showing progress with two consecutive years of reduc-

tions in the city's unsheltered homeless population."

LAHSA officials also called for more funding to support its city homeless engagement teams, storage program and emergency response programs.

With the county's timeline in mind, Councilman Bob Blumenfield expressed he wouldn't want to add "anything back" until the city determines its homelessness structure.

There is a report pending that aims to reduce duplication and enhance coordination across all cityfunded homeless outreach programs.

City officials are contemplating whether to establish an in-house homelessness department, bureau or continue with LAHSA. Blumenfield added, "We need to set the policy in council first, and then we can consider increases, decreases and whatnot."

LAHSA officials noted they expect to meet with county representatives mid-May to discuss transition plans.

The Budget and Finance Committee will continue discussions on Bass' proposed budget with revisions to come. The city must approve the budget before the start of the fiscal year, on July 1.

Burbank PD arrest man for allegedly preying on minors

On March 23, 30-year-old Ivan

Hernandez of Valley Village was arrested and booked on charges of child endangerment and possession of nitrous oxide. The arrest followed a call for service and subsequent investigation into suspected drug activity, during which Hernandez was found in his vehicle with an underage female. During the follow-up investigation, detectives determined that Hernandez had been providing nitrous oxide, marijuana, and alcohol to underage females in exchange for sexual acts. He allegedly used Instagram to locate and lure victims, arranging to meet them for the purpose of trading drugs and alcohol for sex. Hernandez is also believed to have frequently recorded these encounters with the underage females on his cell phone. On March 25, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed multiple felony charges against Hernandez, including three counts of unlawful sex with a minor under 16, two counts of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes, and one count each of child endangerment, oral copulation of a minor under 16, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor 14 or 15 years old, and possession of child sexual abuse material. Hernandez is currently being held without bail and is awaiting his next court appearance.

‘Empty the Shelters’ event at all RivCo shelter locations ends May 15

BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is once again prompting a nationwide call for adoption through its “Empty the Shelters" event, running through May 15. Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS), will participate through fee-waived adoptions, sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation. With RivCo shelters experiencing overcapacity of large breed dogs, there is an urgent need for adopters to help reduce the number of dogs in kennels. More dogs are coming in than leaving, and there are over 1,000 dogs currently across the shelter system. Feewaived adoptions include vaccinations, microchips, I.D. tag and spay and neuter services for all RivCo adopted pets. Staff is available on-site to help answer questions and match potential adopters with a pet who fits their lifestyle and needs. To view adoptable pets, visit www. rcdas.org/adoptable-pets and for more information, email shelterinfo@rivco.org.

Alhambra City

City controller: $225M needed to avoid LA layoffs

By City News Service

City Controller Kenneth Mejia Friday reiterated his warning that Los Angeles needs $225 million to avoid layoffs in Mayor Karen Bass' proposed budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which aims to close a nearly $1 billion deficit.

"It's about $225 million to stave off layoffs. That is the number that we're trying to close to, so that way there are no layoffs," Mejia told City News Service on Friday. "It's going to be a big task, but the city is looking into different ways."

The five-member Budget and Finance Committee has led discussions of the mayor's $13.9 billion budget, which would be an 8.2% increase over the adopted spending plan for the 2024-25 fiscal year. More budget hearings are scheduled as elected officials review the budget. Under the City Charter, the budget must be finalized before July 1, the start of the next fiscal year.

As part of solutions to offset the deficit, Mejia said his office is trying to save money when it comes to interest payments.

According to the controller, Los Angeles pays about $70 million to $80 million annually in interest on borrowed funds — a cost he suggests could be lowered by tapping into departmental special funds as needed instead.

He also backed a proposal to move some at-risk employees into the city's proprietary departments, such as Los Angeles World Airports, the Department of Water and Power and the Harbor Department, which oversees the Port of Los Angeles.

Mejia said he was encouraged by the committee's efforts to address LA's shortfall, adding the city is in "crisis mode." He said it is "really important that they do that detail work."

Mejia also encouraged his colleagues to save

"revenue generating positions," depending on the department's analysis. In one area, the controller's office recommended more tax compliance officers because there is a lot of outstanding payments the city can try to get back.

"For the long run, the city needs to be more honest and transparent about how we got here, about the budget process, keep getting people more involved and really look at line-by-line where we are spending over budget," Mejia said.

On April 29, City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo discussed the proposed layoffs, which were described as a last resort.

In total, the mayor has proposed cutting more than 2,700 city positions; 1,647 would be layoffs and the remaining 1,076 are vacant positions. Layoffs would impact about 5% of the city's workforce.

Those savings in a full year would be about $225 million. Szabo said four months of funding exists for all filled position cuts, and

the budget assumes eight months of savings of about $150 million.

Szabo noted the budget would bring the city to 32,342 authorized positions, bringing that figure to its lowest level since the Great Recession in the 2014-15 fiscal year.

The CAO recommended other measures to stave off layoffs such as deferring raises, swapping positions so work would be funded through special funds rather than general funds, transfers to proprietary departments and reassignments.

City officials are working to prevent layoffs by engaging in labor negotiations, and asking for aid from the state government, among other things.

Los Angeles is facing the nearly $1 billion shortfall in the 2025-26 fiscal year as a result of lower-than-anticipated tax revenue, labor contracts, rising liability payouts, costs related to fire recovery and issues related

to a weakening economy as a result of federal policies.

A representative of Service Employees International Union Local 721, which represents more than 10,000 city workers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.

David Green, president of the union, previously said the city should look at every dollar and layoffs should not be the first option.

"We will continue to work with the city to find innovative solutions to the crisis, including identifying new revenue streams, alternate funding sources and wasteful spending on outside contractors that gobble up city funds," Green said.

"SEIU 721 members are united and ready to overcome this challenge and, just like in the past, it will be our decisions that save the city — not the short-sighted whims of administrators in City Hall," he added.

Los Angeles County starts distributing $5.6 million to wildfire victims

By Staff

The Los Angeles County Household Relief Grant program, designed to provide timely financial assistance to residents who suffered the greatest impacts of the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires, has started disbursing more than $5.6 million, officials announced Friday.

The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs is overseeing the program.

“We hope that these grants represent tangible steps that help families stabilize and begin their rebuilding journey after the devastation of the wildfires,” DCBA Director Rafael Carbajal said in a statement. “Our team, along with our partner, The Center by Lendistry, is working diligently to evaluate applications and expedite the

distribution of funds to ensure that those most impacted by these fires receive the support they urgently need.”

The grant program received over 15,000 applications before the March 12 submission deadline.

"While initial grant awards have begun, applications continue to be expeditiously reviewed and grant awards will continue until funds raised are exhausted," according to a county statement.

Grants are from $6,000$18,000 per household and pay for any needs that insurance or other forms of assistance do not cover.

Eaton Fire applicants in Altadena and nearby areas totaled 60%, with 40% affected by the Palisades Fire. Officials expect that

the majority of future grant awards will support Eaton survivors.

“These grants mark a vital step in helping our communities heal and recover from the devastating wildfires,” Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger, who represents the 5th District that includes the Eaton Fire burn area, said in

a statement. “I’m glad that families in Altadena and the surrounding region are finally beginning to receive the critical support they need and deserve.”

Officials prioritized grant awards based on criteria that included insurance status, social and economic vulnerability, loss of life, health

conditions and other risk factors.

“Seeing these grants reach families marks a powerful milestone in our recovery journey,” Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, whose 3rd District includes burn areas in Pacific Palisades and Malibu. “I’m proud that Los Angeles County is moving with urgency and compassion to help those most impacted by the wildfires. This is real relief, at a time when our communities need it most — and it’s a hopeful sign of the stronger, more resilient future we are building together.”

Household Relief Grants are sourced through a combination of contributions from the county and philanthropic individuals and organizations. Among the variety of contributors were the

Hawthorne Police Officers Association, the Southern California Interclub Association of Figure Skating Clubs and the Wrightwood Girl Scouts Troop 1213. The county's website for donations, which officials said shape the program’s capacity to assist wildfire-affected residents, is at lacounty.gov/ relief.

Updates on the status of grant applications are available through accounts established at lacountyrelieffund. com.

The Eaton and Palisades fires caused the deaths of 30 people and devastated over 14,000 and 21,000 acres respectively. More than 20,000 properties were destroyed or damaged when the fires erupted Jan. 7 during fierce winds.

The Los Angeles County Development Authority would be tasked with exploring more stringent contract terms requiring emergency response plans and better oversight of housing services providers' responsibilities during public safety crises.

The 71-unit complex has 35 units reserved for unhoused seniors referred by the county Department of Mental Health through

sentenced to the "secure youth treatment facility" to determine eligibility for step down programs or the state’s Pine Grove Fire Camp.

Another commission recommendation was to move girls and "genderexpansive" youth awaiting sentencing to the Dorothy Kirby Center in Commerce and hasten transfers to no more than two days for detainees who have already been sentenced to courtordered placements.

"In the absence of a clear, transparent, and community-informed plan from our struggling Probation Department, we must rely on the leadership of the Probation Oversight Commission and the meaningful solutions they've developed in collaboration with county stakeholders and the public," Horvath said in a statement. "None of the options before us are perfect, but doing nothing — or simply moving forward with Probation's inadequate proposal — is unacceptable. I fear we will replicate the same failures in new locations at a time when our youth are counting on us to provide the care and rehabilitation they deserve."

The Board of Supervisors' approved motion

directs Viera Rosa to assess the oversight commission recommendations and report back to the commission in writing or verbally at the panel's upcoming meeting Thursday.

In a statement Friday on the department's depopulation plan submitted for the court's consideration, Viera Rosa said, "This is a responsible and thoughtful step forward that reflects our commitment to court compliance, operational reform, and youth rehabilitation. While this is not a final plan, it represents a strong foundation to realign youth with the right programs and services — and do so in a way that brings lasting, systemwide improvements.”

In December, the Board of State and Community Corrections declared Los Padrinos unsuitable to house youth detainees because of alleged staffing shortfalls and other deficiencies. However, the county had no viable alternative to house the youth detainees and has continued to operate the facility in defiance of state regulators shutdown order.

The Probation Department has appealed the BSCC's unsuitability ruling,

asserting that improvements have been made, but regulators have upheld the closure order.

Management and operational issues have plagued Los Padrinos since it hastily reopened two years ago to house detainees from Central Juvenile Hall in Boyle Heights and Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar. The BSCC ordered the county to close both of those facilities. Since the reopening, Los Padrinos has suffered from short-staffing, escape attempts and allegations of violence among detainees — in some cases while probation officers allegedly stood by and failed to stop fights.

In March, 30 probation officers were facing criminal charges involving alleged cases of youth detainee violence at the facility. According to prosecutors, probation officers would stage "gladiator fights" among the detainees. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office alleged 69 fights were allowed to occur involving youths at Los Padrinos between July and December 2023.
