After report on fire response, LA County looks to bolster emergency management

By City News Service

In an sometimes-emotional and occasionally testy hearing, members of the county Board of Supervisors pressed for answers Tuesday about a delay in evacuation orders for residents in western Altadena during January's Eaton Fire, while also vowing to streamline emergency management operations.

The board on Tuesday received a detailed presentation on an after- action report released last week that pointed to a series of outdated policies, weaknesses and systemic vulnerabilities that hampered emergency notifications and evacuation orders during the deadly Eaton and Palisades wildfires.

The independent "afteraction report" was commissioned by the Board of Supervisors and produced by McChrystal Group, a consulting firm led by retired fourstar Gen. Stanley McChrystal. The firm was charged with conducting "an independent after-action review of alerts and evacuations" to provide "a comprehensive picture of actions taken during the catastrophic January wildfires along with recommendations to help guide future Los Angeles County responses."

Some concerns arose during and after the fires regarding the effectiveness of community notifications in terms of evacuation warnings and alerts — particularly regarding the effectiveness or absence of warnings for many western Altadena-area residents at the onset of the Eaton Fire.

The report noted that investigators found "no single point of failure" relating to public alerts, warnings and notifications.

"Instead, a series of weaknesses, including outdated policies, inconsistent practices and communications vulnerabilities impacted the system's effectiveness," according to the report. "These systemic issues did not manifest uniformly across the two major fires. The effects of these weaknesses varied based on environmental conditions, community readiness and operational complexity caused by the variables of wind, power outages and fire behavior."

During Tuesday's meeting, supervisors grilled representatives of the McChrystal Group,

along with Sheriff Robert Luna, county Fire Chief Anthony Marrone and Office of Emergency Management Director Kevin McGowan about specific issues cited in the report and efforts to rectify problems.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose district includes the Eaton Fire burn area, became visibly angry during the discussion, noting that while county agencies cooperated fully with the McChrystal investigation, some other law enforcement declined to be interviewed or provide emergency-response information.

"To me it is inexcusable and I would challenge any one of those departments or any one of those chiefs to explain why (they did not participate),"

Barger said, adding that she was "incredibly frustrated and disappointed."

Barger asked repeatedly about the law enforcement and fire response in the western Altadena area, where evacuation orders were not issued until roughly 3:25 a.m. Jan. 8, hours after spot fires were being reported in the area.

Marrone acknowledged that fire personnel and commanders were "severely challenged" due to the number of blazes that were raging during the unprecedented windstorm, and it took time to verify the path and status of the fast-moving fire, delaying the process of issuing an evacuation order.

But the fire chief strongly

Voting by landowners starts for proposed Monrovia Lighting, Landscaping, Parks District

By Joe Taglieri

Voting has opened for property owners to cast ballots on the proposed Monrovia Citywide Lighting, Landscaping, and Parks Maintenance District, which officials said is necessary to issue property tax assessments to cover a budget shortfall.

Ballots began mailing out Friday, with the voting open until Nov. 18 when a City Council hearing on the proposed district is scheduled.

The proposed district would replace the two existing tax-assessment districts that have funded streetlights, traffic signals, landscaping and park upkeep since the 1990s. The existing Lighting and Landscaping and Park Maintenance districts no longer generate enough revenue to cover rising costs,

officials said.

The total "budget less general benefit contribution" for these services is roughly $3.6 million, with the "amount assessed to properties" totaling more than $1.8 million resulting in a budget shortfall requiring subsidy from the city's General Fund of just over $1.8 million, according to the city.

"If approved by voters, the new district will provide a stable and self-sustaining structure to maintain these services, protect property values, and allow the City to keep investing in safety, accessibility, and long-term neighborhood improvements," a city statement said.

City Manager Dylan Feik said If the district is approved, property owners will receive higher tax assessments "in a phased-in approach" over

Altadena residents call for state to probe LA County's fire response

Following the release of a report on the January wildfires in Los Angeles County that identified lapses in public emergency notifications and evacuation procedures, Eaton Fire survivors in Altadena called for an investigation Tuesday by the state attorney general.

Members of Altadena for Accountability gathered at the site of a fire-destroyed home to demand that Bonta "compel testimony, examine withheld data and records and hold public agencies accountable for their failures before, during and after the fire."

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

Last week the county released a report titled "After-action Review of Alert Notification Systems and Evacuation Policies for the Eaton and Palisades Fires" by the McChrystal Group. According to Altadena for Accountability, the report failed to answer questions on evacuation notifications, disparities in firefighter presence in the historically Black communities of West Altadena and breakdowns in protocol by the county sheriff's and fire departments.

"Los Angeles County promised the report would provide a clear, fact based review of how alerts, warnings, and evacuations were handled," Shawna Dawson Beer, an organizer with the Beautiful Altadena Community and a total loss fire survivor, said in a statement. "Instead, the McChrystal Group's AfterAction Report is a carefully, conveniently worded PR spin, tip-toeing around County missteps, assigning responsibility nowhere in particular, and worse, pointing fingers at fire victims."

Fire survivors said "inadequacies" in the McChrystal report could make future emergencies worse.

"McChrystal Group's repeated blatant misuse of the term 'perfect storm' to describe the Eaton Fire is both dishonest and strategic," Lauren Randolph, a total loss fire survivor, said in a statement. "The Eaton

Fire was only so egregious and deadly because of how all emergency responses were mishandled."

Dawson Beer added, "The report confirms what we already knew — there was no plan."

In a statement to HeySoCal.com, LA County Board Chair Kathryn Barger, whose 3rd District includes Altadena, said she understands fire survivors' frustration.

“Their call for more transparency and accountability is why I directed that an independent after-action report be created, in the first place," Barger said.

"While I appreciate the insights the McChrystal After-Action Report provides, I was both disappointed and frustrated that several key entities declined to participate in interviews. That lack of cooperation limits our collective ability to fully understand what went wrong," Barger continued.

"If additional scrutiny by the Attorney General’s office compels those stakeholders to engage, it could help us get a more comprehensive explanation of what happened. I welcome any effort that helps shine more light on what went wrong," Barger said. "That is our

best path forward–so we can take meaningful steps to improve our response and protect our communities in the future.”

"To protect their integrity, we're unable to comment on, even to confirm or deny, potential or ongoing investigations," according the attorney general's office, which referred to an independent investigation into the fires commissioned by Gov. Gavin Newsom: tinyurl. com/p94mbc4d.

On Tuesday, the LA County Board of Supervisors was expected to discuss the wildfire report, which identified outdated policies and weaknesses in the county's emergency response system that hindered notifications and evacuation orders during the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires.

The board commissioned the after-action report by the McChrystal Group, a consulting firm led by retired four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal. The firm's task was to independently review county alerts and evacuation procedures to provide "a comprehensive picture of actions taken during the catastrophic January wildfires along with recommendations to help guide future Los Angeles County responses," accord-

ing to the report.

McChrystal investigators found "no single point of failure" by public alerts, warnings and notifications.

The wildfires took the lives of 31 people and destroyed over 16,000 structures in Altadena and Pacific Palisades as well as areas of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Malibu.

The Board of Supervisors was expected to introduce motions aimed at starting to implement solutions in the after-action report that include expanding the county's Office of Emergency Management, increased staffing and a possible overhaul of emergency operation protocols.

The report is available on the county's website via tinyurl.com/2ve3b8xn.

Atkins bows out of 2026 California governor race

By City News Service

LongtimeSanDiego legislatorToni Atkins announcedMonday she was bowing out of the 2026 race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is termed out.

Atkins, a former San Diego City Council woman, acting mayor,assemblywoman, Speaker of the Assembly and President pro tempore of the California State Senate, announced her gubernatorial candidacy in January 2024.

In announcing her withdrawal from the governor's race, she said she will continue to fight against the politics of President Donald Trump.

"My intention was to build on that progress, to bring real solutions from day one, and to do good work for the people. That's why it's with such a heavy heart that I'm stepping aside today as a candidate for governor," Atkins wrote in a letter to supporters.

"Despite the strong support we've received and all we've achieved, there is simply no viable path forward to victory. Though my

campaign is ending, I will keep fighting for California's future.

"With Donald Trump and his allies threatening everything we've worked for -- gutting health care, cratering our economy, and stripping away fundamental rights and freedoms -- we've got to make sure California has a Democratic governor leading the fight, and that means uniting as Democrats."

In August 2023, Atkins announced she would step down as Senate president pro tem -- planned for early next month. She is the first person in more than 150 years to have held both that job and the position of Speaker of the California State Assembly -- which she held from 2014-2016 before being elected to the Senate. Atkins grew up in rural Appalachian Virginia and moved to California in 1985. She was elected to the San Diego City Council in 2000 and was acting mayor for six months in 2005 following the resignation of Dick Murphy. She has also filled in for the governor

temporarily when he was out of state. Atkins was elected to the Assembly in 2010 and became Majority Leader less than two years later. She is termed out from running for the Senate again.

According to an August poll by Emerson College, Atkins was polling at around 2%, while former Rep. Katie Porter led all Democrats in a crowded field at 18% -- up from 12% in a similar poll in April. Republican Steve Hilton led candidates from the other side of the aisle with 12% in the poll.

"With Kamala Harris officially out of the race, Katie Porter has emerged as the Democratic frontrunner, increasing her support from 12% to 18% since the April Emerson poll," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. "Steve Hilton, who was not in the race in April, has jumped to 12%, while the share of undecided voters has dropped from 54% to 38% over the summer. Porter leads among voters over 50 (22%), those with a postgraduate degree (35%), and white voters (23%)."

Anaheim demolishes fifth hotel since 2020

Anaheim on Sept. 25 tore down its fifth motel since 2020 as part of an ongoing initiative to revitalize neighborhoods. The former Kettle Motor Hotel along Lincoln Avenue near Euclid Street was demolished with crews and equipment knocking down the 27-room, two-building motel and clearing rubble

from the site. Anaheim bought the Kettle for $3.9 million in 2024 from Kali Investment, Inc., a family investment company. Lacking travel lodging demand, the Kettle became "overrun with life-destroying drug use and other crime," according to a press release from the City of Anaheim. Upon buying the motel, the city’s Anaheim Housing Authority closed motel operations and began relocating longer-term tenants. While there are no specific plans for development yet, the site eventually will be rebuilt.

Ontario announces yard sale dates for November

The City of Ontario’s next citywide yard (garage) sale weekend is Friday, Nov. 7, through Sunday, Nov. 9. If rainy conditions exist on that Friday or Saturday, an alternate yard sale may be held on Nov. 14, 15, and 16. In 2010, the City adopted a yard sale ordinance giving residents the opportunity to hold more sales each year on fixed dates and eliminating the need for yard sale permits and fees. The rules for signs (one 6-square-foot sign on the owner’s property) and rules for merchandise to be sold (seller’s personal property only, no new or re-sold goods) remain unchanged. If you have further questions regarding the yard sale, contact the City of Ontario Community Improvement Department at (909) 395-2007.

TheInternational CivilAviation Organization(ICAO) convenes its Assembly once every three years. During the event, multilateral meetings and discussions are held to draw up global civil aviation regulations and standards. Nations abide by the conclusions drawn at the Assembly, ensuring the safe and orderly growth of international civil aviation worldwide. The 42nd session of the ICAO Assembly will be held from Sept. 23 to Oct. 3 in Montreal, Canada. In line with its long-term strategic plan called “Safe Skies, Sustainable Future,” ICAO is emphasizing a commitment to working with all stakeholders—including member states, nonmember states, NGOs, and private enterprises—to build a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive international aviation system. We call on ICAO to allow Taiwan to fully participate in its Assembly, technical meetings and mechanisms to ensure regional aviation safety and development needs, thereby achieving safe skies amid a sustainable future.

Meeting regional aviation safety and development needs

The Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR) covers one of the busiest regions in East Asia for air travel. It is an indispensable part of ICAO’s network of over 300

A call to support Taiwan’s participation in ICAO

FIRs. Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) is the sole entity responsible for overseeing the Taipei FIR. The CAA offers a comprehensive range of information services and manages air routes to ensure safety and efficiency for all flights and passengers arriving in, departing from, and transiting the Taipei FIR. From both a risk and safety management perspective, ICAO should permit Taiwan’s CAA to participate on an equal footing with the oversight agencies of other FIRs. This will ensure that the Taipei FIR can communicate directly with other FIRs as well as with ICAO to ensure the free flow of timely information.

Despite not having authority over the Taipei FIR, China in recent years has declared temporary danger areas and airspace reservations and has established military exercise areas within the Taipei FIR. China has failed to comply with ICAO requirements that advance notice of at least seven days be given concerning such measures. This has severely compromised flight safety in the Taipei FIR and neighboring FIRs.

Global aviation faces many natural and manmade challenges such as climate change, power banks, and international geopolitical strife. Taiwan, which is responsible for the consid-

erable traffic through the Taipei FIR, makes every effort to be a responsible stakeholder in the international aviation community. To undergird regional flight safety, Taiwan again calls on ICAO to recognize the importance of the Taipei FIR and of its participation in ICAO.

Achieving safe skies and a sustainable future

The CAA does its best to collect the information it can via indirect channels. It also invites aviation experts from other countries to hold training courses. This helps it to achieve international aviation safety management standards. It also adopts or modifies regulations, systems, and procedures in line with ICAO standards in ways that benefit global and regional aviation safety. For example, the CAA has initiated a State Safety Program and collaborates with aviation industry stakeholders through this program to establish safety oversight systems. This has contributed to Taiwan’s exceptional overall safety performance. From 2020 to 2024, the five-year moving occurrence rates of turbofan and turboprop aircraft were zero (zero accidents per million departures).

The safety performance of Taiwan’s aviation industry has also been remarkable. EVA Air, for instance, has been recognized as one

of the world’s safest fullservice airlines by AirlineRatings.com and was ranked seventh-safest in 2025.

To further sustainable development of the aviation industry, the CAA has incorporated the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) into domestic law and launched a sustainable aviation fuel pilot program in April 2025. This demonstrates the determination of Taiwan’s aviation industry to take concrete steps toward a net-zero transformation.

Despite these efforts, to ensure access to timely and comprehensive information, the CAA must be allowed to participate in the techni-

cal meetings and training opportunities offered by ICAO. ICAO should act in line with its No One Left Behind initiative to rectify the fact that the CAA remains unable to participate in its activities.

Taiwan needs your support Aviation safety knows no borders. For decades, the CAA has mandated and upheld the highest standards of service and safety for the Taipei FIR while meeting ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices. As a stakeholder in the international aviation community, Taiwan shares in the responsibility to safeguard regional and global aviation safety.

Through participation in ICAO, Taiwan will be able to continue to work with other countries to contribute to the further development of global aviation and the wellbeing of all mankind.

ICAO is set to convene the 42nd Assembly with the theme “Safe Skies, Sustainable Future.” It is time for ICAO to bring Taiwan into the fold. With meaningful participation, Taiwan can contribute its professional expertise in pursuit of ICAO’s vision of safer skies and a more sustainable future. Taiwan’s CAA is committed to working with the international community to implement the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs).

Monrovia City Notices

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-09

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS 17.04.080, 17.08.010, 17.08.020, 17.42.030 AND 17.42.120; ADDING CHAPTER 17.38 AND SECTION 17.52.380 TO THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE; AND DELETING SECTION 17.44.020 FROM THE MONROVIA MUNICIPAL CODE AND FINDING ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT

This is a summary of the above entitled Ordinance of the City of Monrovia, which was read by title only and introduced by the Monrovia City Council at its regular meeting on September 16, 2025 by a vote of 5 in favor (Belden, Jimenez, Spicer, Kelly, and Shevlin) and 0 opposed. The final vote on the Ordinance will take place at the regular City Council meeting on October 7, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Council Chambers, 415 South Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California. This summary has been prepared and published in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.

State law requires cities to adopt a local ordinance implementing provisions of State Density Bonus Law (Government Code Sections 65915 et seq.) to incentivize the production of affordable housing by granting additional units, concessions and incentives, and waivers in exchange for dedicating a specific percentage of units as affordable.

Ordinance No. 2025-09 adds a new Chapter 17.38 to the Monrovia Municipal Code that includes all density bonus provisions that are required by State law. The Ordinance specifies how density bonuses would be calculated. The Ordinance also establishes application requirements and an application process to request a density bonus, concession or incentive, waiver, or parking reduction.

The Ordinance requires an applicant approved for a density bonus, concession or incentive, waiver, or parking reduction to enter into an affordable housing agreement with the City or the City’s designee. The Ordinance sets forth the required terms of such agreement.

The Ordinance also adds and amends various definitions in Title 17 of the Monrovia Municipal Code.

The Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) because the proposed Monrovia Municipal Code amendments will implement Program 1.3, in part, of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, and an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for the Housing Element and its Programs.

A certified copy of the entirety of the text of Ordinance No. 2025-09 is available in the office of the City Clerk in City Hall, and is available for public inspection during regular business hours at that location.

denied suggestions that there was only one fire truck in the western Altadena area, or that firefighters were "sitting idle" as the conflagration raged.

"We had resources including other fire agencies and law enforcement partners performing evacuations and rescues throughout the night, well ahead of the evacuation order that came at 3:25 (a.m.)," Marrone said.

He added that there were 20 different fire departments in the Altadena area offering mutual aid, at the time, but some of those agencies declined to be interviewed by the McChrystal investigators, so there was no detailed accounting of those deployments.

Luna also insisted that sheriff's deputies were in the western Altadena area urging residents to leave, even before evacuation orders were issued.

Some Altadena residents attending the meeting, however, disputed those

Emergency management

contentions, saying they didn't see any emergency responders in the area for hours.

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who represents that Palisades Fire area, became visibly emotional as she complained about what she called omissions in the report, such as any

discussion about an evacuation alert that was intended for residents in the San Fernando Valley but was mistakenly sent countywide amid the various fires. She also said the report should have included more personal input from fire survivors and their experiences. Horvath also questioned the report's

suggestion that many residents aren't fully educated about Public Safety Power Shutoffs that often occur during wildfire conditions - - insisting that Pacific Palisades residents were fully aware of the program, having lived through it during multiple previous wildfires.

The report's authors outlined key differences in the Palisades and Eaton fires, noting that the Palisades blaze erupted during daylight hours in a community that was familiar with wildfire risks. The Eaton Fire, however, occurred at night in an area not traditionally associated with severe wildfire danger.

"Some residents in Altadena reported receiving little or no warning before the fire reached their neighborhoods," according to the report.

"Beyond alerting and evacuation operations, this review identified systemic issues that impacted the alert and evacuation response," the document states. "Outdated and inconsistent policies, protocols and standard operating procedures created ambiguity around evacuation authority and responsibilities. In many cases, decision-making roles were unclear, and preincident public messaging responsibilities lacked standardization across agencies. These gaps contributed to nonuniform preparedness strategies across jurisdictions and slowed coordinated

people and destroyed 16,251 properties in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, along with parts of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Malibu.

The report stressed that despite the identified breakdowns in communications and training, "frontline responders acted decisively and, in many cases, heroically, in the face of extraordinary conditions."

efforts."

The report also cited "longstanding challenges" regarding training, staffing, resource management and interagency cooperation that "further strained the response."

The report specifically pointed to resident complaints that emergency alerts and warnings failed to provide "complete information," including exact locations of evacuation zones — an issue compounded by character limits in text/ push alerts that required recipients to click on a link to obtain further details.

The rapid spread of the fires also left incident commanders unable to keep up and issue timely evacuation warnings and orders. As a result, some residents were left with "little time to prepare and evacuate," the report found. Some areas did not receive evacuation warnings at all before many residents had already decided to leave.

"This contributed to confusion and panic, with many evacuating residents feeling that they had little time to collect essential belongings," the report states.

Power outages — some planned for fire safety and others caused by the conflagrations — also hampered some residents' ability to receive emergency notifications, according to the report.

The wildfires killed 31

Barger and Horvath both brought forward motions during Tuesday's meeting calling for an immediate start to implementing the reports various recommendations — most notably requesting a report on the possibility of increasing the size of the county's Office of Emergency Management, and moving it into a stand-alone department rather than operating within the county executive office.

The motions also call on county officials to provide reports every 90 days updating progress on implementing the recommendations.

Shawn Tyrie of the McChrystal Group noted during a news conference last week that the county's Office of Emergency Management has only 37 staff members — in a county of 10 million residents. He said by comparison, New York City has 200 such workers for an area smaller in both size and population.

Tyrie said the report includes recommendations in five primary areas, relating to: — ambiguity in authority for issuing emergency alerts; — training and staffing guidelines to improve emergency response; — resource and staffing shortfalls in the emergency management system; — the lack of coordinated tools and systems to coordinate communications among first responder and emergency management personnel; and — fragmented community engagement and public information procedures.

Day One’s Resiliency Studio hosts Altadena community brunch

By May S. Ruiz mayrchu56@gmailcom

DayOne,anonprofitorganization in Pasadena, held an Altadena Community Brunch and DIY Workshops for Recovery and Sustainable Living on Sunday. Hosted by its Resiliency Studio, the event took place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Day One Lawn on 175 N. Euclid Ave. in Pasadena.

One of the many associations in the Eaton Fire Collaborative working together to support families affected by the fire, Day One focuses on youth empowerment, healthy cities, and policy development. Local government assistance also comes in various ways –including opportunities to collaborate on community events and initiatives.

This past Sunday’s Resiliency Studio Brunch and DIY Workshops was a free, family friendly event that combined community connection through food with hands-on workshops that support recovery and sustainable living following the Eaton Fire.

Workshops included: bike care and repair for affordable, eco-friendly mobility; composting and soil health to restore land and grow food

after fire; healthy cooking with energy-efficient appliances; DIY rain gardens and rain capture systems; wildlife-friendly landscaping with native plants and birdhouse building. But the event was about more than skills –it’s about neighbors coming together to rebuild stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

“The Resiliency Studio began as a vision for a hub where families could learn about sustainability,” explained Nancy Verdin, Day One’s director of environmental education and engagement. “In the aftermath of the Eaton Fire, we reimagined how this hub could directly support families in rebuilding with sustainable strategies.”

Verdin said further, “The workshops are led by a mix of community partners (such as Community Compound, Crop Swap LA, Pulse Arts, Altadena Farmers Market), Day One staff with expertise in advocacy, public health policy and community engagement, and skilled volunteers such as bike mechanics. Together, they bring a diverse range of knowledge and experience to support our community.“

According to Verdin, Day

One has 30 years of experience working alongside residents, young people, elected officials, and other stakeholders to strengthen and build healthy, vibrant communities by advancing public health, advocating for public policies, meaningfully engaging youth, and igniting community-level and behavioral change. Composed of a team of 24 employees, the

organization is primarily grant-funded through local, state, and federal sources.

“Our programming focuses on public health, youth leadership, community engagement, and advocacy,” Verdin emphasized. “We offer youth leadership programs, provide drug prevention and education, and lead local efforts in transportation and environmental policy. Our

Resiliency Studio events, however, bring together fireimpacted families as well as other local residents who want to learn more about sustainable rebuilding and recovery. Attendees come from both Pasadena and surrounding communities. We want participants to leave knowing that sustainability is tangible and within reach. As families rebuild, we hope to inspire them to imagine and implement sustainable solutions that strengthen resilience for the future.”

“The Legacy Project Resiliency Studio Brunch was a meaningful day for our community,” declared Verdin. “Families and partners came together for hands-on workshops and resources provided by Altadena Farmers Market, Crop Swap LA, Pulse Art, Community Compound, and Oak Tree Comics, alongside our dedicated Day One staff and volunteers. Activities included bike repair, composting, cooking, native plants, and birdhousemaking, each designed to give families practical tools and strategies for sustainable rebuilding.”

“This work was supported by U.S. Greenbuild, who

provided the seed funding that helped us create the Resiliency Studio,” Verdin said. “That effort has now evolved into the Collaboratory, a broader vision that brings together many organizations dedicated to supporting fire-impacted families with long-term recovery resources. With the generous contribution from Lowe’s, we are now able to provide tangible tools that will remain available to the community as they continue rebuilding.”

“It was a powerful reminder that resilience is built not only through tools and resources, but also through partnerships and community connection,” concluded Verdin. Sunday’s brunch was quite a success! It would be gratifying for the Day One team if a good number of people came away encouraged by the connections they made and buoyed by the skills they gained. How heartening it would be if they left with renewed confidence that the resolve and spirit of Altadenans have not been scorched by the fire and that they will bounce back ever more engaged with and invested in their community.

FTC alleges LA-based ‘Sendit' app unlawfully collected children's data

By City News Service

TheFederalTrade Commissionhas filed a civil action against the Santa Monicabased operator of the Sendit anonymous messaging app, alleging in federal court that the company unlawfully collected personal data from children and "tricked" users into purchasing paid subscriptions, according to court papers obtained Tuesday.

The complaint, filed Monday in L.A. federal court, contends that Iconic Hearts Holdings Inc. and its chief executive, Hunter Rice, violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

The rule requires operators of websites, apps and other online services that have knowledge they are collecting personal information from children under 13 to notify parents about what information is being gathered and to obtain parental consent.

The FTC complaint, filed by the U.S. Justice Department, also alleges that Iconic Hearts made misrepresentations to users to push them to purchase premium subscriptions, unfairly used fake messages to trick child and teen users into purchasing premium subscriptions and failed to clearly disclose

the terms of its subscription plans.

"Sendit's operator and CEO were well aware that many of its users were under the age of 13 and still failed to comply with COPPA," Christopher Mufarrige, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement. "At the same time, they manipulated many users, including children, into signing up for their weekly subscription service by sending fake messages and promising to reveal the identity of message senders but failing to deliver."

A message from City News

Service seeking comment from Iconic Hearts was not immediately answered Tuesday.

The complaint alleged that Iconic Hearts knew that numerous Sendit users were under the age of 13 but failed to comply with the COPPA rule. For example, in 2022, more than 116,000 users reported their age as under 13 while using Sendit, according to the complaint.

The FTC contends that Iconic Hearts also received complaints from parents who indicated that their children were under 13. Even though it was aware that many users

were under 13, Iconic Hearts failed to notify parents that it collected personal information from children, including their phone numbers, birthdates, photos and usernames for Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok and other accounts, and did not obtain parents' verifiable consent to such data

collection. The complaint also alleged that Iconic Hearts and Rice deceived Sendit's users, many of whom were children and teens, into purchasing its premium Diamond Membership by falsely promising to reveal the senders of anonymous messages.

Oneoftwomen chargedwiththe shooting death of an off-duty Monterey Park police officer during what authorities called a botched daytime robbery attempt in a Downey parking lot was sentenced Monday to 24 years and eight months in prison.

Gerardo Magallanes, who was 18 at the time and is now 21, pleaded no contest Sept. 12 to voluntary manslaughter in connection with the Aug. 8, 2022, slaying of off-duty Officer Gardiel Solorio, 26. He also pleaded no contest to unlawful firearm activity and admitted an allegation that he furnished a firearm, along with a gang allegation.

The alleged gunman, Carlos Delcid, now 23, is awaiting trial on one count each of murder, shooting at an occupied motor vehicle and possession of a firearm by a felon involving the shooting, along with one count of second-degree robbery involving an April 2022 robbery in Long Beach.

The murder charge against Delcid includes the special circumstance allegations of murder during the commission of an attempted robbery and attempted carjacking, along with allegations that he personally discharged a handgun during each of the crimes.

Delcid could face life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted as charged.

One of the victim's sisters, Ana, spoke directly to Magallanes during Monday's sentencing hearing, saying, "I hope you have to feel every ounce of pain we feel."

Man sentenced in off-duty police officer's killing

She said she believed he was just as guilty as the person who pulled the trigger.

"I wish you nothing more than a long life full of pain and regret," she said.

Another of the victim's sisters, Eva, said her brother "died a very tragic death," adding that her family is "forever broken."

The victim's older brother Carlos told LA County Superior Court Judge Joseph R. Porras, "My brother was stolen from us in the most cowardly way possible."

He said the plea deal felt "like another slap in the face" and asked for the maximum sentence for Magallanes, although he said he knew that was "not going to happen."

The judge said he had to evaluate whether the plea deal was "outside the norm," saying he concluded it was not.

He told the defendant that he hoped he would have regrets about what he did, and suggested that he should do some "soul searching."

"This is a tragic event for the victim's family," the judge said. "He was completely innocent in just going to work out and had a nice car."

At a hearing last year in which Delcid was ordered to stand trial, Downey police Detective Ron Gee testified that surveillance video showed one person in a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and a full black ski mask getting out of a black Honda Accord, with the sound of five gunshots subsequently being heard.

The Honda was subsequently stopped that night by Long Beach police, and Delcid and a teenager who was driving were taken into custody, according to the detective.

Delcid was wearing dark

jeans and a white tank top at the time, and a gray hooded sweatshirt and a full black face mask were later discovered inside the vehicle, Gee testified.

Magallanes was arrested three days later, according to the detective.

A teenager who was driving the getaway car and was 17 at the time was sentenced last month to 11 years in custody after pleading no contest last month in adult court to voluntary manslaughter, according to the prosecutor.

During a jailhouse operation after his arrest, Magallanes told undercover operatives that he was in the vehicle with Delcid and the teenager and that they were going to try to "come up on" — or rob — someone, the detective testified at the February 2024 hearing.

Magallanes said during the undercover operation that he heard five "pops" after seeing Delcid — whom he identified by the moniker "Reckless" — getting out of the car and going to the Dodge Charger, with Delcid subsequently getting back in the getaway vehicle, according" to the testimony.

During a separate jailhouse operation, Delcid discussed a shooting and said he wore a face mask, referring to it as a full face mask, according to the detective.

Long Beach police Detective Jacqueline Parkhill testified during last year's hearing that the victim of an April 26, 2022, robbery in Long Beach told police that he had been robbed of his "chain" by a man who ripped it off his neck, demanded his wallet and fired a shot toward the ground in his direction when the victim

balked at his demand.

The detective said she believed that man was 75% confident that a photo depicting Delcid was his assailant, but said that man also indicated there was a chance it could have been another person shown to him in the collection of photos.

At an August 2022 news conference announcing the charges, then-Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said Solorio was in his vehicle in the parking lot of an LA Fitness gym in the 12700 block of Lakewood Boulevard, near the Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway, when a suspect — later identified as Delcid — allegedly got out of a car nearby and approached Solorio "with a gun drawn in what appeared to be an

attempted robbery."

"Officer Solorio attempted to flee by backing up his vehicle when the suspect fired multiple times," Gascón said. "The (suspect) then returned back to the vehicle, where a juvenile was behind the wheel and they fled the scene."

Solorio, who was a rookie just weeks out of the academy, was found unresponsive in his car by authorities and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Then-Monterey Park Police Department Chief Kelly Gordon called his killing "a senseless act of violence."

Gordon said at a news conference that Solorio, who grew up in Bell Gardens and graduated from Cal State Los Angeles with a degree in criminal justice, joined the

department as a recruit in January, and had just graduated from the sheriff's training academy on July 22 before beginning his field training July 25.

"Although his time with (the department) was very short, we all knew from the moment we met him that he had the heart of service and was going to be a great officer," she said then.

"And I could tell that from the moment he walked in and did our first introductions in my office. The family and department are grieving right now, and this is an especially difficult tragedy. It's a senseless act of violence. He was only 26 years old. I don't know about all of you, but I have children that age. So to me, this is particularly difficult."

On gauging how much taxes will rise, Feik said “average” land parcels containing under five units

the next five years. After that, property taxes will cover the full cost of the assessment district. New tax assessment rates will phase in gradually over five years, with the city covering part of the cost during the new district's first few years.

currently pay $140.14. Most stakeholders will have to pay between $101-$400 by the fifth year of increases

The first year should increase by approx. 50%, and then the subsequent 4 years

should increase by approx. 12.5% each additional year until we reach 100% of the total needed.

According to city documents, 8,278 Monrovia properties have less than five residential units. Earlier this month the City Council unanimously voted to put the proposed district on the ballot.

Information, timelines and an interactive map of proposed rates, are available on the city’s website via tinyurl.com/cbte2wt2.

Kamala Harris offers positive message in LA ‘conversation'

By Fred Shuster, City News Service

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, speaking at the Wiltern theater to promote her newly released memoir about her unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, urged the roomful of supporters to continue fighting for their vision of America.

"We cannot let our spirit be defeated. Times like this require us to fight fire with fire," Harris told the packed house of supporters, who paid upwards of $100 each for tickets to the Monday night discussion. The crowd repeatedly cheered the former vice president -- the first woman to hold the office -- as she discussed the 107 days she spent campaigning for the nation's top job.

She urged Democrats to continue their campaign of resistance to Trump administration policies they oppose, but warned them that "sometimes the fight

takes a while."

The presidential race began for Harris on July 21, 2024, when then- President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection.

On Nov. 5. 2024, Donald Trump won the presidency.

Harris' journal-like book, "107 Days," is broken into chapters discussing significant dates in the lead up to the election. Coming across as both complimentary and occasionally resentful, Harris ponders Biden's age and mental sharpness and how his image for good or bad cast a shadow over her campaign.

In the Los Angeles stop on her book tour, Harris, 60, sought to offer a positive message to voters who were disheartened by the outcome of the election.

"I hope that we remember the optimism we felt during those 107 days," she said, adding again that "our spirit

cannot be defeated."

At the same time, she expressed surprise that Trump in his second term as president appears to face so little resistance as he targets universities, diversity efforts and long-held scientific beliefs.

"What I did not predict was the capitulation," Harris said. "I always believed the titans of industry would be the guardians of our democracy - - and I've been deeply, deeply disappointed."

The Brentwood resident said that in a recent visit to Washington, D.C., she met with journalists who told her they fear for their jobs and safety if they report views other than those belonging to the Trump administration.

"Journalists are really scared right now," Harris told the crowd. "They're afraid."

According to Harris, Trump "is trying to keep the

truth from the American people. This is a time to rise up. We cannot normalize this. People are on edge right now."

Harris did not offer the crowd any hints about her possible future political

aspirations. But she revealed that her emotional response to her election-night defeat lingered long after Trump's victory.

"I haven't felt anything as remotely similar since my mother died," she said. "I was

grieving for my country."

There seemed to be little anti-Harris activity outside the venue, but security, including Los Angeles Police Department K9 handlers and metal detectors, was tight.
