Arcadia City Council censures mayor

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Arcadia City Council members voted 4-1 Tuesday to censure Mayor Sharon Kwan.

The vote was somewhat of a forgone conclusion after an equally emotional regular council meeting Aug. 19. A lot of hurt feelings as a result of months of ill will ranging from personal attacks to charges of financial mismanagement and sexual harassment were on full display on the Council Chamber dais.

At the conclusion of the more than six-hour meeting that featured video presentations and many public comments, council members voted to censure Kwan but stopped short of OK'ing specific penalties. City Attorney Michael Maurer, City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto and staff members are now tasked with defining censure penalties that comply with the city charter. The council was expected to vote on censure penalties at a future regular meeting.

Fu said Kwan, the city's first female Asian American mayor, should retain the title but lose charter-mandated mayoral abilities of presiding over meetings and representing the city at public events.

"Members of the City Council are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty, integrity, respect, professionalism, and accountability in their interactions with colleagues, city staff, first responders, and the public," according to the censure resolution approved Tuesday.

"Mayor Kwan has repeatedly engaged in conduct inconsistent with these standards,

reducing the conduct of City Council meetings to political exercises and grandstanding, and abused her office for personal gain, by engaging in the following types of misconduct, and when confronted, fails to accept responsibility and denies wrongdoing."

Council members' 10 grievances spelled out in the resolution include:

"Weaponizing and exploiting children, induced to give false and uninformed statements, and giving false names to conceal their identities

"Demeaning the military service of veterans;

"Knowingly falsely alleging financial impropriety;

"Disparaging first responders, and council colleagues;

"Making unfounded accusations of sexism and sexual harassment

"Discouragingpublic participation by mocking and belittling constituents;

"Misusingcouncil procedures and engaging in 'ambush techniques';

"Engaging in un-collegial behavior, unprofessional temperament, and unfounded accusations;

"Relying on ChatGPT to conduct City Council meetings;" and

"Abdicating her sworn elected responsibilities and duties by being manipulated and controlled by third party unelected persons, and concealing and denying that conduct and practice, informing city staff that (former Councilwoman) April Verlato must accompany her to all events, and by politicizing

Coffee With the Mayor to malign other councilmembers and give Ms. Verlato a platform to air her grievances, rather than conduct the actual business of the Office of the Mayor."

Kwan, the four council members, Lazzaretto and Maurer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a statement to HeySoCal.com prior to the censure hearing Tuesday, Kwan said, "I do want to be very clear: This is a smear campaign against me because I reported Councilmember David Fu to (the city's Human Resources Division) for sexual harassment and discrimination. He does not like being challenged by a woman, and now these three Asian men on City Council are sending a dangerous message that Chinese women need to be submissive, obedient, and silent — or else face punishment.

"This is part of the broader problem that women in office face everywhere," Kwan added. Verlato, who served on the council from 2016 to 2024, said the censure was about speech rather than misconduct.

"Her crime? She filed a sexual harassment and discrimination complaint against Councilman Fu," Verlato wrote in a social media post. "The 3 men on council want to censor Mayor Kwan because they don’t like the way she talks. They don’t like that she uses ChatGPT. They don’t like that

Rabbis rally for peace in front of Israeli consulate in Brentwood

By City News Service

Dozens of rabbis and cantors prayed, sang and blew rams' horns Monday outside the Israeli Consulate General in Brentwood, calling for immediate food aid to Gazans, an end to the war in Gaza and the safe return home for hostages in Hamas captivity.

Outside the consulate, a group of about 30 people led by a coalition of rabbis urged for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The event was independently organized by dozens of rabbis across denominations in the Jewish community in Los Angeles County. Similar actions have taken place with rabbis throughout the nation as part of a growing resistance movement of Israelis in opposition to the war, according to the LA group.

"We will not let you be until all of the hostages are returned," said Rabbi Kerry Chaplin, who previously worked as a spiritual counselor for Beit T'Shuvah in West Los Angeles. "You have forgotten God, and God has sent us here as messengers to say this High Holy Day season is the time to return to our reverence for God.

"When we forget reverence for God, we forget we are human, and I worry for us when we forget we are human. I worry for us when our hearts can no longer break," Chaplin added. "May we remember God in all our actions, for the lives of starving Gazans, for the lives of the hostages, for their families and friends around the world."

Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, director emeritus of UCLA Hillel, criticized Israel's leadership and the aggressive tactics used against the Palestinian people. He led the blowing of the shofar, a ram's horn, which is used to mark the month of Elul. The shofar is blown every morning from the first day of Elul until Rosh Hashanah except on Shabbat.

The month is a time of repentance in preparation for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The blast of sound is intended to awaken one's spirits and inspire soul searching, according to Seidler-Feller.

"We sound the shofar today to wake up the Jewish community. Our community has been asleep. Our leaders have been absent. The shofar sound is the inner groan of anguish of our people for what we have done," SeidlerFeller said. "This is the time for repentance, for return, for acknowledgement, for a reversal of our ways, and for the embrace of peace."

Israel announced its military would begin an operation known as Gideon's Chariots B in mid-September, which is intended to capture Gaza City from Hamas with aid from thousands of Israeli reservists.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will end the war if Hamas puts down their weapons and releases the remaining 50 hostages. Hamas has in turn

EatonFiresurvivors joined state and local lawmakers Monday to demand the California Department of Insurance take immediate action to speed up financial relief and hold insurers accountable after months of delays and claim denials.

The news conference also highlighted Assembly Bill 238, legislation that allows disaster-impactedhomeowners to pause mortgage payments for up to one year while they recover and rebuild.

Fire survivors, officials call for state to ease insurance delays

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

“Behind every delayed insurance claim is a family forced to wait in limbo," Victoria Knapp, chair of the Altadena Town Council, said in a statement. "Survivors of the Eaton Fire deserve to be treated as people, not numbers. We’re asking the Department of Insurance to stand with Altadena and NOT with insurers to deliver justice for those who’ve already lost so much."

AssemblymanJohn Harabedian,D-Pasadena, authoredthemortgage forbearance bill and attended the news conference Monday.

“Our responsibility is clear: to protect survivors, give them the time and resources to rebuild their home and their lives, and ensure they can do so with security and peace of mind," Harabedian said in a statement. "That’s why I am leading this effort — calling on the California Department of Insurance to act swiftly and decisively, enforce the law, expedite claims, and provide every protection available — so families can recover with dignity and hope for the future."

Survivors and officials highlighted what they called urgent reforms:

• expedite the State Farm Market Conduct Exam;

• guarantee smoke coverage under the FAIR Plan;

• require transparency in loss estimates; and

• make the Insurance Department's complaint

process transparent.

Fire survivors and officials also called for a stop to unlawful cuts to temporary housing benefits that residents use to remain housed during rebuilding.

“We paid our premiums faithfully for decades, trusting insurers to protect us," Joy Chen, Eaton Fire Survivors Network co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. "Now they’re using illegal delays and denials to profit from our pain. Families are maxing out credit cards, draining savings, and living in contaminated homes. We call on the California Department of Insurance to stand with survivors, not with the insurers breaking the law."

Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara and State Farm issued statements following the news conference.

"Our goal at State Farm is to work with customers to resolve any of their concerns," according to the company. "We seek to provide every customer all benefits to which they are entitled within the terms of the insurance policy. State Farm customers are being helped by our teams on the ground in Los Angeles County and an overwhelming majority are satisfied with our service."

State Farm has received over 13,000 claims so far related to the LA wildfires and paid over $4.5 billion

compound their hardship and loss. Continued vigilance in oversight and enforcement are vital, and new reforms are needed from our state regulators and legislature."

State Sen. Sasha Pérez, D-Pasadena, has also been vocal in recent months about "hundreds of insurance complaints by Eaton Fire victims," she said in a statement.

to California customers, more than any other insurer, according to the company.

Lara said the department's "goal aligns with fire survivors: we want individuals to recover on their own terms."

The insurance commissioner noted measures he has implemented "to hold insurance companies accountable," including "a thorough investigation into State Farm's wildfire claims, formed a Smoke Claims Task Force to create statewide remediation standards and initiated a legal action against the FAIR Plan for its mismanagement of smoke claims.

"The severity of our insurance crisis and the suffering of countless Californians require us to get this right," Lara said. "We must empower our Department's experts to do their jobs to protect consumers, and that is my intention."

Other local officials attended the EFSN news conference Monday in Altadena.

“The Eaton Fire devastated residents in my district and exposed glaring issues in the insurance market,” Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said in a statement. “Too many continue to face undue claims delays, underpayments, and denials that

"These residents should not be pushed aside during their greatest time of need," Pérez said. "Insurance companies should not be allowed to raise rates before we get answers into how they are treating their policyholders following this disaster. I will continue to fight alongside my constituents for the fair and timely resolution of their insurance claims.”

Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks, whose District 42 includes communities devastated in the Pacific Palisades wildfire, said in a statement, "While we cannot undo what nature has done, we can attempt to ease the pain of those suffering from nature’s wrath."

Irwin added that "AB 238 minimizes the financial impact through temporary mortgage relief and AB 493 assures victims that banks are required to pay interest on money deposited as a result of insurance payouts. In addition to these legislative efforts, we need the Department of Insurance to step up and enforce the law to protect victims from further harm caused by insurers."

State Farm, California's largest residential insurer, is seeking an 11% rate increase following a 17% emergency rate hike that a judge approved in May.

Insurance Department officials did not respond to a request for comment.

A report detailing EFSN's call to action for insurance officials is available online.

Victoria Knapp, chair of the Altadena Town Council, with lawmakers and area residents calls on the state Insurance Department to better expedite financial relief from insurers for wildfire survivors.

8 alleged members of prolific Southland burglary crew arrested

By City News Service

Eight people suspected of being part of a prolific burglary crew responsible for 92 heists throughout the Los Angeles area over the past three years were arrested, authorities announced Monday.

Most of the suspects, who range in age from 20 to 47, were arrested Wednesday, when investigators from the LAPD's West Los Angeles Area and Operations-West Bureau, supported by personnel from North Hollywood, West Valley, Olympic, Hollywood, Wilshire, and Central areas served simultaneous search warrants at eight locations across Los Angeles, Carson, Hawthorne and Inglewood, according Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell.

The chief announced the arrests during a morning news conference also attended by Mayor Karen Bass and District Attorney Nathan Hochman.

McDonnell said this particular crew is not believed to have been involved in the rash of burglaries that have occurred in recent weeks in and around Encino in the San Fernando Valley.

"Some of these crimes date back to 2022, but the majority occurred in 2024 and 2025," McDonnell said.

He said the crew had been referred to as the Rich Rollin Burglary Crew.

"These arrests send a clear message: if you prey on our neighborhoods, we will find you and hold you accountable," said McDonnell of the more than two-year investigation. "What made this takedown possible was the outstanding work of our officers and detectives communicating across divisions and bureaus, sharing intelligence, and connecting the dots that revealed these burglaries were tied to the same crew."

The break in the case came in February, when three of the suspects were arrested following a vehicle pursuit and arresting officers recognized the suspects' van as being involved in two burglaries the previous day.

"Following that arrest,

detectives began using information they obtained to identify additional suspects," the chief said.

In April, a search warrant was served at a residence in Los Angeles where two rifles, five handguns, ammunition, large cap magazines including a 50- round handgun drum, body armor, stolen jewelry, watches, credit cards and false IDs, as well as multiple license plates were seized.

Two other people not involved in the burglaries were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, McDonnell said.

The suspects, all repeat offenders and confirmed gang members, were identified as: Devon Collier, 37; Tyrone Tisby, 47; Frank Tisby, 38; Jeremy Shepard, 38; Jermaine Kimbrough, 22; Michael Lewis, 20, and Marquell Lewis, 26.

All were arrested on Wednesday and booked on suspicion of charges including burglary and possession of controlled substances while armed.

Eric Cannon, 40, surrendered on Friday in response to an active warrant, police said. Already in custody on suspicion of an unrelated offense and facing murder charges were Anthony Leslie, 26, and Shawn Quinney, 36.

AJudge says Trump can't block funds to LA over sanctuary policies

By City News Service

federal judge in San Francisco has added Los Angeles and several other U.S. jurisdictions to the list of so-called "sanctuary cities" that cannot have their government funding cut by the Trump administration, it was reported Saturday.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick of the Northern District of California, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, issued the ruling late Friday, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Administration officials vowed to appeal the ruling.

greed," said Hochman. "What you have is individuals often not from the community. ... These particular eight individuals are from different parts of Los Angeles, not these communities, and they come into these communities not because they need anything, but because of greed."

Hochman said police and prosecutors will also pursue pawn shops or anyone else involved in turning stolen property into cash for criminals.

"This crew, which had victimized families and businesses, is no longer a threat to our neighborhoods,” Bass said.

She called the operation "a major win" for the city, but added that it's "part of a bigger story."

She said homicides are at a 60-year low in L.A. and overall violent crime "continues to decrease."

"We know that there's a lot more to keep every Angeleno safe, but let me be clear, we will not stop doing whatever we need to do to combat crime," Bass said. "When we hear about break-ins in Encino or Sherman Oaks or a burglarized break-in of a business in South L.A., we do not rest until we find those who are responsible. We will continue to pursue justice for those who are targeted and work to prevent crime from happening in the first place."

Orrick issued a preliminary injunction Friday that adds to restrictions the court handed down in April blocking funding cuts to 16 cities and counties, including San Francisco and Santa Clara. The judge ruled then that President Donald Trump's executive order cutting funding to the so-called sanctuary jurisdictions violated the separation of powers doctrine of the U.S. Constitution.

"The government — at all levels — has the duty to protect American citizens from harm," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement, The Times reported. "Sanctuary cities interfere with federal immigration enforcement at the expense and safety and security of American citizens. We look forward to ultimate vindication on the issue."

In late June, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Los Angeles, alleging that its sanctuary-city policies violate the Constitution by "thwart-

The lawsuit contends that the sanctuary laws — in which local law enforcement officials refuse to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts — are illegal. Sanctuary laws are expressly designed to "obstruct the federal government's enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe," according to the DOJ.

Parole denied for Lyle Menendez 1 day after brother lost same bid

By City News Service

One day after a state parole board panel rejected his younger brother's bid to be freed from prison, a separate panel denied parole for Lyle Menendez, who has served nearly 35 years behind bars for the 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion.

After a daylong hearing Friday that stretched into the evening hours and included Lyle Menendez saying that he "will be forever sorry," Parole Commissioner Julie Garland said the panel found that there are still signs that he poses a risk to the public.

"We find your remorse is genuine. In many ways, you look like you've been a model inmate. You have been a model inmate in many ways who has demonstrated the potential for change," Garland told 57-year-old Lyle Menendez.

"But despite all those outward positives, we see ... you still struggle with antisocial personality traits like deception, minimization and rule breaking that lie beneath that positive surface."

She urged Lyle Menendez not to give up hope, saying that the denial of parole for three years is "not the end" and is "a way for you to spend some time to demonstrate, to practice what you preach about who you are, who you want to be."

"Don't be somebody different behind closed doors," Garland told him, noting that he ultimately needs to be the person he shows he is in running programs for fellow inmates.

Garland added that he would be considered for an administrative review within a year, and that a hearing could be moved up to as soon as 18 months.

Another parole board panel had also denied parole for Erik Menendez, 54, for three years after a nearly 10-hour hearing Thursday, with Parole Commissioner Robert Barton telling him that the panel found that he continued "to pose an unreasonable risk to public safety."

The two brothers were

initially sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for the Aug. 20, 1989, shotgun killings of Jose and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez. The Menendez brothers claim the killings were committed after years of abuse, including alleged sexual abuse by their father.

In May, the two were re-sentenced to 50 years to life, automatically making them eligible for parole consideration because they were younger than 26 when the crime occurred. Both are imprisoned at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego — the same prison where his brother is housed.

In his closing statement to the parole board panel, an openly emotional Lyle Menendez said he takes "responsibility for all this pain."

"My mom and dad did not have to die that day," he said, adding that his decision to use violence that day was solely his and not his "baby brother's" responsibility.

"I am profoundly sorry for who I was ... for the harm that everyone has endured," he said. "I will never be able to make up for the harm and grief I caused everyone in my family.":

"I am so sorry to everyone, and I will be forever sorry," Lyle Menendez added in his final remarks to the parole board panel.

He noted that family members were still "showing up for me, disrupting their lives, dealing with public scrutiny ... and I will never deserve it."

He had earlier told the parole board panel that he was sexually abused as a child by both of his parents, but said there was "zero planning" for the murders.

"I no longer believe that they were going to kill us, in that moment, today. At the time, I had that honest belief," Lyle Menendez told the panel.

Ethan Milius from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office questioned whether Lyle Menendez has "genuinely" taken accountability for what he did, and

cited his alleged inability to "follow basic rules while in a structured setting."

Milius told the parole board panel, "When you look at him, Lyle has a long documented history of lies made to avoid the consequences of his own actions. When he commits a violation, he lies about it and tries to avoid responsibility."

Lyle Menendez's parole attorney, Heidi Rummel, countered that the District Attorney's Office is clinging to its "1990s theory of the case," and said she hopes "that we're in a place today that we have a deeper understanding of childhood sexual abuse."

"This crime arose from trauma, from unresolved trauma, from fear, from sadistic abuse, and from cruelty. Mr. Milius wants this to be some sort of preplanned crime," Rummel argued, expressing frustration at one point that testimony during the hearing largely ignored the work he has done behind bars.

The brothers' relatives expressed support for Lyle Menendez, with his cousin, Anamaria Baralt, telling the parole board panel, "Lyle has not been a violent person in his entire life. He is not a violent person today. In 54 years, I have not heard Lyle raise his voice, not once."

Baralt — who has been an outspoken advocate for the brothers — told the parole board commissioners that she was "begging" them to "make this torture end — this 36-year nightmare. Let us put it behind us."

The hearing hit a road block when Lyle Menendez's attorney complained that audio from his brother's parole hearing Thursday was released to ABC, with Garland saying that the plan was to release it as a result of Public Records Act requests.

His attorney called it "highly unusual" and said it was "another attempt to make this a public spectacle," and asked for the hearing to be adjourned, complaining that "we now have family members who are not going to speak."

When the hearing resumed, Garland noted that audio from Lyle Menendez's hearing won't be released until his attorney has the opportunity to file an objection or motion in court to contest the release of the audio.

Lyle Menendez's elderly aunt, Teresita Baralt, said through tears that she wanted her nephew "to hear how much I love him and believe in him," but added that she was not comfortable reading her pre-written statement in light of the dispute over the audio of the hearing being released.

In a statement released shortly after the parole board's decision on Lyle Menendez's parole bid, the brothers' family said, ""While we are of course disappointed by today's decision as well, we are not discouraged. The process for parole is exceptionally rigorous, but we are incredibly proud of how Erik and Lyle showed up — with honesty, accountability and integrity."

"This is not the end of the road. Both will go before the board again and their habeas petition remains under review," family members said in the statement.

"In the meantime, we know they will take time to reflect on the board's recommendations and will continue to lead, mentor and build programs that support rehabilitation and hope for others. We know they are good men who have done the work to rehabilitate and

are remorseful. We love them unconditionally and will continue to stand by them on the journey ahead," the family added in the statement.

The District Attorney's Office recently filed paperwork opposing the request by the brothers that they be granted a new trial. The request was made in a 2023 writ of habeas corpus filed by their attorneys.

In that 2023 petition, attorneys for the brothers pointed to two new pieces of evidence they contend corroborate the brothers' allegations of long- term sexual abuse at the hands of their father — a letter allegedly written by Erik Menendez to his cousin Andy Cano in early 1989 or late 1988, and recent allegations by Roy Rosselló, a former member of the boy band Menudo, that he too was sexually abused by Jose Menendez as a teenager.

Attorneys Mark Geragos and Cliff Gardner, representing the brothers, wrote that the new evidence "not only shows that Jose Menendez was very much a violent and brutal man who would sexually abuse children, but it strongly suggests that — in fact — he was still abusing Erik Menendez as late as December 1988 — just as the defense had argued all along."

The attorneys added that "newly discovered evidence directly supports the defense presented at trial and just as directly undercuts the state's case."

In the prosecution's response, Deputy District Attorney Seth Carmack wrote, "There are few murder cases in which the evidence of planning and premeditation is as stark as that presented in this case. Petitioners confessed on tape to murdering their parents, revealing the extent of their forethought and deliberation."

Carmack cited a "pattern of deliberate deceit," in which the two "conspired and planned to kill their parents by, among other things, driving over 120 miles to San Diego to purchase shotguns and ammunition using false identification and a false address" and setting up a "preplanned alibi" hours before they killed their parents.

The prosecutor added, "While sexual abuse is abhorrent and may be a motive for murder, it does not justify murder and does not negate overwhelming evidence of planning, deliberation and premeditation."

The brothers' first trial ended with jurors unable to reach verdicts, deadlocking between first-degree murder and lesser charges including manslaughter. The second trial, which began in October 1995 and lacked much of the testimony centered on allegations of sexual abuse by Jose Menendez, ended with both brothers being convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy.

Attorneys for the brothers have also asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to grant them clemency.

Looking for a big adventure buddy? Meet Bear! This handsome 3-yearold chocolate Alaskan Malamute at Pasadena Humane is a true crowd favorite wherever he goes, and it’s easy to see why. Bear is a good-natured boy through and through whether strolling around the neighborhood or leaning in for belly rubs. Bear is smart and eager to please! He already knows sit, down, touch, and will even shake with both his paws for a treat! While he’s generally calm, he’s a strong boy and can pull while on his leash, so he’ll do best with a confident handler to guide him. He takes time to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, Bear shows his sweet and very affectionate side. Because of his size and strength, Bear would thrive in a home with adults (or older kids) who can give him the consistency he needs.

Chevy is a 3-year-old white pittie at Pasadena Humane with his signature spots and an even more unforgettable personality! He's full of curiosity, playfulness, and charm – whether he’s chasing squeaky toys, rolling in the grass, or showering you with clumsy, heartfelt kisses. Chevy especially loves his belly rubbed; it seems to be his ultimate “reset” button. Chevy is an active dog who thrives with exercise, adventure and patient guidance. He may need some time to adjust to new environments and routines, but once he settles in, his affectionate and goofy side shines through. He walks well once his initial excitement wears off, is tolerant of baths (according to his foster parent), and has shown he can be calm and friendly around people. He'll do best in a home with adopters who can give him space to decompress and plenty of outlets for his energy. If you’re ready to find new roads with this loyal co-pilot, Chevy is waiting at Pasadena Humane. Come meet him and you might just discover your perfect furry friend!

Monrovia Old Town report: Get your kicks on Rte 66

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

If you have read this column in the past, then you know I am all about safety. I think everyone needs to slow down, be more patient, kind and courteous. Whether you are operating a motor vehicle, a bicycle or a skateboard, you need to follow the rules that were not put in place for everyone BUT you. I went off on a mild tangent, but what this is all leading up to is the fact that the Safe Streets and Roads for All Survey has been extended. You can find the survey on the city’s website, specifically in the City Manager’s Update. Take it! Let’s improve our infrastructure and make our city a safer place to walk, bike and drive!

Have you been to Hop Secret? They are located at 162 W. Pomona Ave. Don’t want to drive that far for a delicious and very cold beer? Well, I have good news for you. Hop Secret will be serving their cold brews at the Friday Night Street Faire every week in their 21+ beer garden. If you haven’t tried their beer, what a great place to check them out. Cheers to the beers!

Happy Anniversary to our dearly beloved Charlie’s House. They are celebrating 14 years in Old Town Monrovia. This is truly something to celebrate in a world that

can be so hard on small business. If you are not familiar with Charlie’s House (perhaps you live in a box), they are located at 430 S. Myrtle Ave. This shop is loaded with the cutest items: jewelry, gift cards, towels, décor, and so much more. I honestly cannot get out of there without buying something. It is a super cute store with a super cute owner. Kristin is a wonderful shop owner to have in town. She does a lot to support our city, especially our Old Town district, as well as our small business owners. So, cheers to you Kristin. To you and Charlie’s House for 14 more years. Everyone has heard of Route 66. Most of you know part of the Mother Road passes through Monrovia. April 3 to May 3 marks Route 66’s Centennial celebration. Save the dates! I know that the Monrovia Historic Preservation Group, the City of Monrovia and MOTAB have been whispering about bringing some of that celebration to our city. As a proud two-time All-America City award winner, we should absolutely be showcasing how special our city is and how proud we are of our well protected and cherished history. Stay tuned for more information on this party!

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by VIKRAM BRAR in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 10/16/25 at 8:30AM in Dept. 5 located at 111

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

LA family pleas for return of loved one, all hostages held by Hamas

By Jose Herrera, City News Service

Los Angeles-area relatives of Rom Braslavski — a 21-year-old Israeli being held captive by Hamas — Monday reiterated a "critically urgent" plea to the U.S. government and International Committee of the Red Cross to save him and the other surviving hostages of the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack.

During a news conference at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Yael Niinikoski again pleaded for the return of her grandson. She was joined by Braslavski's aunt, Anat Braslavski Benmenahem.

Braslavski was a security guard at the Nova music festival in Israel when he was abducted by Hamas-led militia on Oct. 7, 2023. At the time, he stayed behind to help others and saved multiple lives before he was taken captive, according to Niinikoski.

"My plea has now become critically urgent," Niinikoski wrote. "We have received recent news that the group holding Rom has lost contact with him, and Rom's whereabouts are unknown. We had also received a second ... propaganda video shortly after July 30, 2025, this time showing Rom in immense physical and mental distress and hunger.

"As his grandmother, the terror I feel is indescribable. My heart is torn open each and every day since his capture and there has seldom been a day ever since when my face wasn't wet from my tears, My mental health has been deteriorating more and more, and my only remaining wish in life is to see my grandson again."

Niinikoski said the family has lived in "silence and despair," counting each day since Rom was taken. Earlier this month, she wrote a letter to the Red Cross, asking for help.

Niinikoski urged ICRC to do everything in its power to demand from Hamas immediate and unconditional access to Braslavski to check on his welfare, provide proof of life to alleviate the family's distress, and to assess his medical condition.

She emphasized that

neutrality. That failure is a total abandonment of its mission. This is not only a family's cry for help. It is a test of the world's conscience. We must not be silent, and we will continue to stand for families like Rom's, to press for action and to demand the dignity, care and freedom that every human being deserves, including Israeli hostages," Berk said.

A representative for the ICRC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

ICRC's mandate is to "protect the lives and dignity" of victims of armed conflict.

"My grandson Rom Braslavski is one of those victims," she said. "We urge you to uphold your principles and exhaust every possible avenue to reach him."

Jim Berk, CEO of Simon Wisenthal Center, echoed her call.

"The ICRC was created to alleviate human suffering in times of conflict and disaster, and to uphold international humanitarian law," Berk said. "Its mandate is to protect the vulnerable, to visit hostages and prisoners and to ensure that they receive medical care and decent treatment."

Berk said the Red Cross has been silent and absent when it comes to Braslavski and other Israeli hostages.

"That failure is not

On the organization's website, it states that its work is guided "solely by humanitarian needs."

"In the occupied Palestinian territory, these needs are greater due to the different factors including higher unemployment rates, dependency on aid, and limited local capacity to respond. In contrast, Israel has stronger resources and infrastructure to address its humanitarian challenges," according to ICRC's website.

"During the handover of hostages, the ICRC's role is focused on ensuring safe passage, and providing medical or logistical support. Our priority is and always will be the safe and successful release and transfer back to relevant authorities and awaiting families and loved ones."

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, director of Global Social Action for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, thanked the women and gave his

TRUST

support to their cause.

"Being together with these two amazing women from Los Angeles, they've given us tremendous strength and clarity of purpose in the hours and days ahead," Cooper said.

He noted that Israel is hosting an Egyptian delegation that is involved directly with negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

"So every hour, every day, every press conference, every statement, courageous statement of the past, on behalf of families, to humanize what has happened to these forgotten hostages, the living and those who are no longer alive will continue to motivate us until we have a, hopefully, positive closure," Cooper said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will end the war if Hamas puts down its weapons and releases the remaining 50 hostages. Hamas has called for a lasting ceasefire and for Israel to withdraw from Gaza.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamasled militants killed about 1,200 Israelis and abducted 251 others. More than half the hostages were released in earlier ceasefires or other deals. Israel's attacks, in turn, have killed 61,500 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Figures provided by the ministry, which is part of the Hamasrun government and run by health professionals, have been disputed by Israel.

Figures provided by the ministry, which is part of the Hamasrun government and run by health professionals, have been disputed by Israel.

Negotiations between the two entities may delay or cancel Israel's planned operation if there is a breakthrough.

"Our community has forgot about the goal. The goal is peace," SeidlerFeller said. "The goal is not defeat. The goal is not to destroy. The goal is to build and to create, and to generate peace."

The coalition clergy consisted of rabbis Susan Goldberg, Ken Chasen, Dara Frimmer, Lisa Edwards, and Aryeh Cohen.

"As rabbis and cantors, leaders in the Jewish community of Los Angeles, we stand firmly and deeply inside the values of the Jewish tradition lifting up that everyone is made b'tzelem elohim, in the image of God," Rabbi Susan Goldberg, senior rabbi of Echo Park-based Nefesh, which bills itself as "an open-hearted spiritual community welcoming all of the identities that make up who we are and who we love."

"It is time to end the suffering in Gaza and in Israel and be led by those who affirm the safety, dignity, and human rights of all who live in the land. We blast the shofar on this first day of the Hebrew month of Elul, a month of reckoning and reflection

Rabbis rally

that leads us into the new year.

"We join with rabbis and cantors and other Jewish leaders from across the United States who are praying fervently for an end to the killing and the beginning of a new way forward."

The rabbis and cantors who participated in Monday's rally "are standing in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the streets and those risking their freedom to end the atrocities in Gaza," a spokeswoman told City News Service.

On Friday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, which provides food security and nutrition analyses for decisionmaking in over 30 countries facing food crises, declared a famine is confirmed in the Gaza Strip, with more than half a million people facing catastrophic conditions characterized by starvation, destitution and

death, while another 1.07 million people are facing an emergency and 396,000 are in crisis.

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office called the report "an outright lie."

"Israel does not have a policy of starvation. Israel has a policy of preventing starvation," the statement issued Friday said. "Since the beginning of the war Israel has enabled 2 million

tons of aid to enter the Gaza Strip, over one ton of aid per person."

The statement also said, "Like all previous IPC reports, this one ignores Israel's humanitarian efforts and Hamas' systematic theft. Hamas steals aid to finance its war machine. These were the causes of temporary shortages, which Israel overcame with airdrops, maritime deliver-

ies, safe transport routes, and GHF distribution points manned by American companies," referring to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the American nonprofit organization established in February to distribute humanitarian aid during the ongoing Gaza humanitarian crisis.

"The only ones being intentionally starved in Gaza are the Israeli hostages."

Rabbi Ken Chasen, at lectern, joins other members of the LA Jewish community to call for peace in Gaza.

The proposed North Lake Specific Plan (NLSP) will result in refined vison, goals, policies, permitted uses, development and public realm standards, and guidelines that will shape the built environment for the NLSP area and implement General Plan Land Use policies.

The Proposed Specific Plan will require the following approvals: General Plan Map Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, and Zoning Map and Text Amendments. You may find documents related to the Proposed Plan at www.ourpasadena.org/NLSP-PC-HR-091025.

PROJECT LOCATION: The proposed NLSP area generally encompasses the area along North Lake Avenue from Maple Street to Elizabeth Street, along East Washington Boulevard from El Molino Avenue to Catalina Avenue, and along East Villa Street from El Molino Avenue to Wilson Avenue (Exhibit 1).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: An addendum to the 2015 Pasadena General Plan Environmental Impact Report (GP EIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 2013091009) to address the potential sitespecific environmental impacts associated with the proposed NLSP has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) (Cal. Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended) and its implementing guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Section 15000 et. seq., 2016). This Addendum has been prepared and will be processed consistent with CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Section 15162 and Section 15164). The addendum found that the proposed NLSP will not result in any potentially significant impacts that were not already analyzed.

APPROVALS NEEDED: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider the proposed amendments and addendum to the GP EIR. The Planning Commission recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council, who will make a final decision at a separately noticed public hearing.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission will hold a public meeting to review the latest update to the NLSP. The meeting is scheduled for:

Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2025

Time: 6:30 p.m.

ORDINANCE NO. 2268

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE SETTING THE AMOUNT OF SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE FEES PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE § 5471 AND MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.08.

The City Council does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. The City of Monterey Park requires a reliable solid waste and recycling collection service to protect the public general welfare, health and safety;

B. The purpose of solid waste franchise fees (“Fees”) is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by providing reliable and adequate solid waste collection services for the City;

C. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fees and the cost of services and facilities necessary to deliver solid waste services to the residents and non-residential development of the City;

D. Notice regarding the Fees included in this Ordinance was provided in accordance with California Constitution Article XIIID, § 6(c) and Government Code § 54354.5;

E. On July 16, 2025, the City Council opened a public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider adoption of the proposed Fees. The City Council continued the public hearing to August 6, 2025 to allow additional time for eligible property owners to file protests;

F. On August 6, 2025, the City Council conducted and concluded the continued public hearing to consider the results of the protest proceeding and to consider adoption of the proposed Fees;

G. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA") and CEQA regulations (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.; “CEQA Guidelines”) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines § 15273;

H. This Ordinance is adopted in accordance with Health and Safety Code § 5471 and Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) Chapter 6.08 to establish the City's current Fees;

I. The City Council has considered the evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing. Based in part upon that evidence, and the staff reports presented to the Council regarding this issue, the City Council believes that it is in the public interest to adopt this Ordinance;

J. To ensure the City efficiently and cost-effectively causes refuse services to be delivered to the public, it is in the public interest to immediately implement this Ordinance and implement the approved Fees as of September 1, 2025; and

K.Because of the findings set forth above, the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare in accordance with Government Code §§ 36934 and 36937(b).

SECTION 2: AMOUNT OF RATES AND CHARGES. Pursuant to MPMC Chapter 14.12, the City Council establishes the amount of Fees as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference.

SECTION 3: COST ESTIMATES. The City Manager, or designee, will periodically, but not less than annually, review the Fees to determine whether revenues from such charges are meeting actual cost of services and facilities needed to deliver solid waste collection services to the residents and non-residential developments within the City. If the City Manager determines that revenues do not adequately meet costs, the City Manager will recommend to the City Council a revised rate and charge schedule to be adopted by this City Council by ordinance:

SECTION 4: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 5: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law:

SECTION 6: Electronic Signatures. This Ordinance may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 7: Invalidity. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 8: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provision or application and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 9: Recordation. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is authorized to sign this Ordinance signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, may attest thereto.

SECTION 10: Effective Date. Based on the findings in Section 1, this Urgency Ordinance is adopted by a four-fifths vote for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare and becomes effective immediately pursuant to Government Code §36937(b).

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY PARK THIS 20TH DAY OF AUGUST 2025.

Orange County political consultant sentenced to prison, fined

By City News Service

Aformertopofficial withtheOrange CountyDemocratic Party was sentenced Friday to six months in federal prison and fined $10,000 for her role in a public corruption case.

Ex-Orange County Democratic Party executive director Melahat Rafiei pleaded guilty in January 2023 in LA federal court to attempting to rip off a client for her political consultancy firm and a bribery scheme involving two Irvine City Council members.

A sentencing hearing scheduled Friday for former Anaheim Chamber of Commerce chief executive Todd Ament, who pleaded guilty in July 2022 to defrauding a cannabis company, loan fraud and tax cheating, was postponed to a new date to be determined.

Rafiei cooperated with authorities to help them build a case against Ament, who later wore a wire in meetings with former Mayor Harry Sidhu that incriminated him of wrongdoing tied to a failed Angel Stadium sales deal.

The government's filings related to an updated plea deal for Ament and sentencing were sealed.

Prosecutors were seeking a year of probation and a $10,000 fine for Rafiei in exchange for her help in the Ament and Sidhu probes.

According to prosecutors, the FBI approached the former political consultant in late 2019 about her role in a bribery scheme of two city council members in Irvine

and she "quickly agreed to cooperate with the government, and her cooperation led to charges against two public officials: Todd Ament... and (Sidhu)..."

Sidhu was sentenced this year to two months behind bars.

As part of Rafiei's plea deal, prosecutors agreed to back off on pursuing a case against her in the bribery scheme.

Probation officials had said Rafiei should face between 51 to 63 months for wire fraud. But given her level of cooperation she should not face time behind bars or anything more than six months, prosecutors said in court papers.

Rafiei agreed to hand over $225,000 in bribes to the two Irvine council members in 2018 so they would pass an ordinance allowing one of her clients to open a cannabis store in the city. In a call with a confidential source that she thought was her client, she asked for $350,000 and $400,000 to get the ordinance going.

Rafiei told the source that one council official asked for $25,000 and another asked for $200,000, prosecutors said.

She also told the source that for $300,000 she would try to do the same for the would-be client in Anaheim, prosecutors said.

"In fact, defendant was already working on such an ordinance for other paying clients," prosecutors said.

"And while (Rafiei) represented to the confidential source that she would only keep $10,000 of the payment, she in fact intended to keep $100,000 of that payment."

When Rafiei was confronted by the FBI she spent a year helping agents, including wearing a wire in meetings. Without her help the prosecutors "likely could not have charged Ament or Sidhu," prosecutors said.

"Rafiei devoted a significant amount of time to her cooperation, provided information that was truthful and timely, and risked her own political, business, and personal connections and reputation to do so," prosecutors said.

Rafiei's attorney, Jennifer Wirsching, also argued for probation in court papers.

Wirsching said her client worked with investigators for nearly two years.

The attorney noted that Rafiei was instrumental in

helping to sink the city's $320-million deal to sell Angel Stadium to the team's owner.

Wirsching said her client, who was born in Tehran in 1977, fled the country when her father was "targeted by the Revolutionary Guard."

The family spent several weeks in hiding before they "fled to Pakistan in the middle of the night," Wirsching said.

Her family managed to "escape to Israel where Mr. Rafiei was arrested and brutally beaten in front of his entire family," Wirsching said. "Ultimately Jewish-Iranian family helped get them released and Ms. Rafiei's family obtained asylum in Italy."

The family made it to San Jose in May 1983 with "virtually no money and nowhere to go," Wirsching said.

Rafiei faced prejudice and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder, the

Arcadia censure

she asks questions about the budget. They don’t like that high school students come and comment in support of Mayor Kwan but against Councilman Fu. They don’t like that she’s friends with me. I literally made the list of their complaints! See a pattern here?"

According to Verlato, the censure effort originated after council members and city staff reacted to Kwan asking follow-up questions about a possible budget shortfall

despite reports of a small surplus.

"The budget, as presented by the City Manager, projects a balanced budget for the next fiscal year," Verlato wrote in a mass-email initially sent June 15.

The balanced budget resulted from putting $2 million less into the city's Equipment and Capital Improvement funds than last year, "and the money being transferred into these funds is less than what is actually

needed," according to Verlato. "The numbers reflect that the cost of City Staff increased by 21% just last year alone."

The email also noted costs across all departments have risen:

- 2023-2024 $46.3 million actual;

- 2024-2025 $56 million estimated;

- 2025-2026 $60.8 million, an increase of $4.7 million.

"That's another 8% increase in costs for staff next year, while revenues are

defense attorney said.

Rafiei enrolled in an "intensive six-week outpatient treatment program" in 2022 and she "continues to participate in talk therapy, cognitive therapy and EMDR therapy (a treatment designed to help people process traumatic memories)," Wirsching said.

Rafiei is raising a 12-yearold son and cared for her ex-husband and his wife when they both fell seriously ill, Wirsching said.

Former Irvine Councilwoman Beth Krom wrote a letter in support of Rafiei, describing how she helped Krom and her family after her 22-year-old son died.

Ament pleaded guilty to defrauding a company of $225,000 and pocketing $41,000 of it, according to his plea agreement. But prosecutors were seeking to have that wire fraud count dismissed.

Ament agreed that in exchange for the $225,000 to the chamber of commerce he would start a cannabis task force that would draft an ordinance to sell the drug in the city.

He also admitted applying for a COVID-relief loan for his consulting company and when he received $61,900 he spent the money on himself for clothes, boat dealers and the property taxes on his home.

He also admitted lying to his bank that $205,000 he loaned to himself was earned income. He also admitted cheating the government out

of $249,998 in taxes in 20172019.

Another issue was raised in the case when attorney Dean Steward, who represents the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, filed a motion requesting the chamber be added to the list of victims in line for restitution.

Steward said the organization was a victim and that it has been left out of the loop for restitution in error. Steward argues it deserves $264,330.65.

Steward noted that the restitution amount agreed to in the plea agreement was $479,995, but that reflects just the tax losses.

Steward argued that Ament pocketed $30,000 in money intended for the chamber. He also said the chamber lost $147,433 in revenue because of his and Sidhu's corruption.

The chamber "was forced to cancel a December 2022 event," costing it $15,569, Steward said.

"This and the other losses above were as a direct and pointed result of Ament's fraud," Steward said.

When news of the corruption surfaced it stifled the chamber's ability to host other revenue-producing events such as golf tournaments.

There's also $31,185 in lost money for Ament's failure to file tax returns for the chamber in 2020, Steward said. There's also $17,126.20 in legal fees because of the investigation, he added.

projected to increase at about 3%," Verlato wrote. "In order to balance out these compulsory expenditures on staff, the City Manager proposed and the City Council approved the following:

- "Only $1.9 million will be added to the Equipment Fund, $3,150,000 will be spent

- "Only $2.9 million will be transferred into the Capital Improvement Fund while $4,711,700 of projects are scheduled

- "That's a deficit of $3,061,700 from the City's reserves."

At the regular City Council meeting Aug. 19, Councilmen Fu, Michael Cao and Paul Cheng voted to move the censure hearing forward. City law requires three council members to advance a censure action.

Councilwoman Eileen Wang, the current mayor pro tem, did not vote after her three colleagues moved the censure forward.

At the special meeting Tuesday, Wang read prepared remarks that expressed support for the censure and allegations listed in the resolution.

The proposed censure resolution, which council members revised slightly before voting, and other relevant documents are available on the city's website via tinyurl.com/mskvp8vj, along with a video of Tuesday's hearing via tinyurl.com/ yc2tax4r.

LA28 unveils impact and sustainability plan for Summer Olympics

By Jose Herrera, City News Service

Organizers of the Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games Monday unveiled their Impact and Sustainability Plan, which outlines how LA28 has committed to supporting local businesses, expanding youth sports and implementing sustainable solutions.

"LA28 represents more than a moment on the world stage. It's a once- in-a-generation opportunity to uplift our communities and lead by example," LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said in a statement.

The 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic is billed as "no-build" and "transit first," meaning organizers and LA elected officials intend to use existing venues for the Games, as well as to reduce the event's carbon foot- print by utilizing public transportation and electric vehicles, among other measures.

Mayor Karen Bass touted the city is leading the way toward a greener and more sustainable future for residents. The plan is another way for LA to benefit from the games, she added.

"We are making real investments in small businesses to ensure Games readiness, and are uplifting local jobs so that everyone benefits from these Games. By building on this momentum, relying on clean energy and transportation, creating economic opportunity, and using existing venues, these Games will leave a lasting, sustainable legacy for generations to come," Bass said in a statement.

telephone interview Aug. 21."Some of the core activation areas where we'll bring Resilient by Nature to life include things like our volunteer program, educational campaign, and many more opportunities that we're exploring over the next three years."

For the effort, LA28 is expected to launch a Community Resilience Fund early next year, providing grants to local nonprofits protecting the environment in the LA region.

Dale emphasized that another area of focus for LA28 is to implement reusable materials where they can, whether that be in materials for temporary infrastructure to food packaging fans will use.

"One of our commitments is that we are going to encourage fans to bring refillable, reusable water bottles to the venues and make free hydration stations available, just as one way that we can refuse waste at the source," Dale told CNS.

but when we go away we want to make sure that we are only uplifting businesses to get ready for contract opportunities related to LA28 and the Games delivery, but being able to be stronger and better moving forward," Aldridge told CNS.

LA28 is on track to support 2 million total youth sports program enrollments through PlayLA and other youth sports partnerships. The committee is investing up to $160M in youth sports.

"We look forward to during this journey to 2028 to continue to conduct a strong PlayLA program in conjunction with the city and roll out other programs that will uplift youth through sports," Aldridge said.

PlayLA offers more than 40 sports for kids of all abilities between the ages of 3-17.

Under the plan, LA28 will launch its Resilient by Nature initiative, a program designed to invest in a more resilient Los Angeles while showcasing models that could be implemented in other cities around the world. There are three areas of focus: wildfire resilience and nature restoration, ocean protection and cooling solutions.
