City Council To Review Rent Stabilization Ordinance, Singh Report Tuesday

Incident At El Rodeo Ignites Safety Concerns By Laura Coleman El Rodeo students and staff got a bit of a scare on Friday morning when a man jumped the fence shortly after school began. Just as the school day was about to commence, around 8:25 a.m., Beverly Hills Police approached a man who was exhibiting erratic behavior on Whittier Drive and attempting to enter the El Rodeo campus. After a district security guard stationed at the school’s front gate prevented the man from entering, he ran a short distance down Whittier and jumped the fence into the El Rodeo schoolyard. Students were immediately ushered into classrooms and the school was put on lock down as the district’s security guard and BHPD pursued the subject, con-

firmed Superintendent Michael Bregy. “He did not have contact with any students, and barricaded himself inside a vacant school bathroom,” Bregy wrote to the parent community in an email sent out after the incident. “The lockdown was lifted once the subject was removed from campus, and normal school activities resumed.” Within minutes of the man coming on campus, BHPD entered the bathroom and apprehended him. The man was subsequently transported to the hospital for further evaluation. “As principal, it gives me great comfort to know that our staff takes their training and drills to heart and are prepared to protect our students if need be,” said El Rodeo Principal Kevin Allen.

Virtual Reality In Pediatrics: Game Changer For Patients, Providers At CHLA By Courier staff An anxious adolescent showed up to have his blood drawn and was asked if he’d like to try virtual reality goggles.

By Victoria Talbot Director of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution and Associate Professor of Law at Pepperdine University Sukhsimranjit Singh will present recommendations formed from landlords and tenants in the seven facilitated dialogue sessions for the Rent Stabilization Ordinance at Tuesday evening’s Formal Meeting of the City Council at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers. Singh was able to move the disparate groups into civil conversation, a difficult task at the onset mired in distrust, anger and fear.

The dialogues resulted in consensus on some issues and dialogue on others, with each session contributing progress toward agreement between landlords and tenants regarding the rent stabilization ordinance. The results will inform the council about policy, staffing and funding for the ordinance, as well. Last month, the council postponed a decision on a $1.5 million proposal developed by consultants Management Partners for the implementation of the ordinance as it is currently written (see ‘RENT’ page 11)

Wanda Beverly Hills Responds To Rumors Of Financial Woes By Victoria Talbot Speculation has been building as events unfolding in China cast a pall over the Dalian Wanda Group and billionaire Wang Jianlin, focusing attention locally on the fate of the $1.2 billion One Beverly Hills development at 9900 Wilshire Blvd. The Courier reached out to project manager Rohan a ‘Beckett, deputy general manager of the Wanda Group, for answers. The Courier: What is the status of the project (One Beverly Hills) and what is the expected timeline for the project to be started and to be completed? Rohan a ‘Beckett: The project is on schedule to break ground in 2017 and be completed in 2020.

VOLUME: LII

The Courier: Considering the concerns expressed, based on articles in numerous publications, will Wanda be able to use funds from China to support this project? Rohan a ‘Beckett: One Beverly Hills is a U.S. funded development. Wanda is fully committed to bring this $1.2 billion hotel and condominium addition to Beverly Hills. For further clarification, a ‘Beckett explained that Wanda was drawing on “a variety of domestic sources,” to finance the construction, but that they would not be releasing “explicit” names. A ‘Beckett said that Wanda has “our own source of funds from domestic construction finance. It’s being worked through right now.” (see ‘WANDA GROUP’ page 11)

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

DATE: September 14, 2017 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: City Council Chamber, Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 PROJECT ADDRESS: 339 North Canon Drive

The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, September 14, 2017, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider:

A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a new real estate office use with more than 25’-0” of building frontage within the Pedestrian Oriented Area of the City on the ground floor of the building located at 339 North Canon Drive. The proposed real estate office use (One Beverly Hills Sales Gallery) would occupy approximately 5,500 square feet of floor area, and have approximately 50’-0” of street frontage along North Canon Drive. This request is being made pursuant to Beverly Hills Municipal Code §10-3-1650, which regulates the amount of street frontage that non-retail uses can occupy in the Pedestrian Oriented Area of the City.

A Time Extension Request for a Variance. The request is for a two-year time extension of a previously approved Variance to allow construction of an accessory structure on a property with no principal building, and to allow the accessory structure to be located less than 100’-0” from the front property line on the property located at 1297 Monte Cielo Drive. The project was previously approved by the Planning Commission on July 17, 2014. The two-year extension would extend the existing entitlements until July 17, 2019. The request is being made pursuant to Section 10-3-207 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Upon review, the project appears to qualify for exemption from CEQA. Accordingly, the Planning Commission will consider a recommendation to find the project exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to a Class 1 Categorical Exemption in accordance with the requirements of Section 15301 of the Guidelines for operational changes and minor alterations within an existing commercial building.

This project has been previously assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. Upon review, the Planning Commission found the project to be categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15303 (Class 3) of the Guidelines for construction of an accessory structure appurtenant to the primary dwelling unit in a residential zone. There have been no substantive changes to the project and no substantial changes to the environment that would cause the project to no longer qualify for the categorical exemption, or have any significant environmental impacts. The original determination of exemption continues to apply to the project, and no further environmental review is required under CEQA.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing. If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Masa Alkire, AICP, Principal Planner in the Planning Division at (310) 285-1135, or by email at malkire@beverlyhills.org. Copies of the project plans and associated application materials are on file in the Community Development Department, and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Possible Burglary Prompts Hawthorne To Shelter In Place Once Again By Laura Coleman For the second time since the new school year began, Hawthorne students were forced to shelter in place following a neighborhood incident on Tuesday. This week’s scare came just days after a family-related neighborhood disturbance on North Elm last Thursday prompted the school to enact the same protocol of keeping students in classrooms. On Tuesday Beverly Hills patrol units responded to a residential “bur-

glary in progress” on the 800 block of North Crescent Drive with further information on the radio call stating that there were possibly three suspects at the location seen running. Beverly Hills police told the Courier that “out of an abundance of caution” school liaison officers that were on duty implemented the order to shelter in place at Hawthorne after hearing the radio call and considering the proximity of the involved residence.

Beverly Hills Encourages Support And Caution for Harvey Relief By Victoria Talbot The City of Beverly Hills and the BHPD issued separate press releases Thursday to encourage the community to support relief efforts in the stormtossed areas. “Hurricane Harvey has wreaked havoc on the state of Texas, with the full extent of damage yet to be determined. It is our humanitarian obligation, in a catastrophe like this, to step up to the plate and lend our support to those in dire need of help,” said Mayor Lili Bosse. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has asked that donations be monetary rather than in-kind because of the extent of the damage and anticipation of difficulties in distribution and affected onsite resources. The City recommends that those interested in providing monetary support should visit the National Voluntary

Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) at www.nvoad.org, as referred by FEMA. The site provides a list of nonprofit organizations helping with relief efforts. The City’s website www.beverlyhills.org/hurricanerelief also lists information on ways to donate. However, the Beverly Hills Police Department and the City of Beverly Hills caution that it is important to note “that scammers have been known to take advantage of disaster response situations,” said a BHPD press release. “Beware of unsolicited contacts and appeals on social media sites,” including text messages and crowd-funding requests that can be abused. The BHPD notes that social media provides “tools of tremendous good, but as with any type of giving it can be abused, so proceed with caution when donating online.”

Beverly Hills Dog Park To Celebrate First Birthday On Sept. 10 By Victoria Talbot Line up the water bowls and lap it up, as the City of Beverly Hills and Mayor Lili Bosse celebrate the one year anniversary of the Beverly Hills Community Dog Park at a Barks & Breakfast event, 10:30 a.m. – noon Sunday, Sept. 10. Bow wow for bagels! Breakfast for this “pawty” is sponsored by Friends of Beverly Gardens Park and the Beverly Hills Recreation and Parks Commission with generous donations from Toast Bakery Café, The Beverly Hills Market & Deli, Urth Café, Pussy & Pooch, the Amanda Foundation, Pet Food Express and the Larder at Maple Drive. The public is welcome, and if you are one of those who has not seen the park, this may be a great opportunity. The Recreation and Parks Commission conducted outreach at the six-month mark, resulting a decision to continue to operate the park for one year without change. With the year anniversary, the City is once again conducting public outreach to all tag-holding families in a survey about the dog park to reevaluate the hours of operation, restricting park access solely to Beverly Hills residents

and their guests, hotel guests and employees who work within the City, the presence of a Park Ranger and the registration and permit process to use the park. Surveys have been mailed, emailed and posted on the website as an online survey to tag holders, neighbors and property owners within 500 feet of the Dog Park. An announcement was posted at the Dog Park as well, sharing the survey link. Since it opened, tags have been issued to 1,400 dog owners with nearly 20,000 recorded visits to the park. The most popular hours are between 8-10 a.m. and 5-7 p.m. There have been no incidents at the Dog Park and the park has never achieved the maximum occupancy rate of 40 dogs per side in the large and small dog areas. However, there have been over 500 inquiries from non-residents who wish to use the park, many from the adjacent neighborhoods. On May 30, the City recorded one hotel guest pass, 12 residents’ guest passes, 265 employees’ tags, and 1,034 residents’ tags.

Greystone Mansion Ready for Mayor Bosse’s State of the City Address By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce presents An Evening with the Mayor at Greystone Mansion from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 27, with Mayor Lili Bosse delivering the State of the City address. The event will be located in the mansion’s formal gardens, and feature hors d’oeuvres and beverages, as well as live entertainment. Each year, the mayor addresses the public with an overview of the City’s financial condition, business health, capital improvements and broader initiatives, as well as a report on each mayor’s initiatives. The annual State of the City address comes exactly midway through the one-year mayoral term, and provides an update on the progress that has been made and a

roadmap for the next six months until the term is completed. Mayor Bosse’s Healthy City (#BHHealthyCity) initiative has been extremely popular, and has reached deep into the business community to create the success of her BOLD (Businesses Open Later Days) initiative. During her term as mayor, hundreds of friends, business owners, visitors and residents have joined her to walk many miles in her Walk with the Mayor campaign. She also led a bicycle tour through the City and hosted a yoga event with Acro Yoga at Beverly Canon Gardens. Earlier this year, Bosse co-hosted a public meditation event with Dr. (see ‘STATE OF THE CITY’ page 17)

By Victoria Talbot In October 2014, a project came before the Beverly Hills Planning Commission requesting a Hillside R-1 Permit to allow construction of a new single-family home at 1184-1193 Loma Linda Drive with a cumulative floor area exceeding 15,000 square feet and landform alterations exceeding the thenmaximum allowed 3,000 cubic yards of exported earth material. The project, a single-family home with two stories and a basement in 27,334 square feet that would require 7,887 cubic yards of exported soil, would have had a cantilevered deck sporting pools and water features, and multiple retaining walls. Poised above Coldwater Canyon Park, the massive home would be visible for miles. Below, on Sutton Way, neighbors had yet to recover from a slide on the property that had resulted in an unsightly cement retaining feature, holding the hillside at bay. Above, resident Debbie Weiss could not imagine how such a behemoth could be built on the narrow, winding street, less than 24-feet in width, dwarfing other homes and permanently altering the neighborhood character the area. Where would they stage the project, and where would the crews park in the tiny cul-de-sac? How would the construction vehicles and heavy haul trucks navigate the sharp

curves and narrow street? How would the residents access their homes? The City of Beverly Hills was being lauded for their efforts in the hills of Trousdale, where two accidents involving construction vehicles that lost their brakes took the lives of two LAPD officers, Det. Ernest Allen and Officer Nicholas Lee in the spring of 2014. But the rest of the City’s hillside areas had no such protections, though the hillsides were often just as treacherous. In the aftermath, the City initiated several measures to achieve “Zero Tolerance” for accidents. Random CHP inspections of vehicles, strict haul routes, hauling hours, weight limits on heavy-haul vehicles and cement trucks, secondary breaking systems, street closures for excessively weighted vehicles, cameras at the entrances to Trousdale, offsite parking for crews and traffic calming measures made Trousdale safer, but did nothing for Loma Linda. Additionally, as the economy recovered and property values increased, building on property that had previously been deemed “unbuildable” due to prohibitive costs suddenly became doable. Sinking pilings, building multiple retaining walls and excavating were no longer barriers. What’s more, City planning officials, carrying out their mission to promote development, helped; planning (see ‘CITIZEN ACTIVISTS’ page 17)

Dr. Stanley Zusman Once Again ‘Official Podiatrist’ Of Avon Walk For Breast Cancer Next Weekend For the sixth consecutive year, Beverly Hills podiatrist Dr. Stanley J. Zusman will serve as the “official podiatrist,” tending to blisters, sprained ankles and more, for walkers in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, Sept. 9-10 in Santa Barbara. He and a breast-cancer surgeon from the John Wayne Cancer Institute, along with nurses and other volunteers, will treat the approximately 2,000 walkers on the 39.3-mile route from Santa Barbara’s Chase Palm Park to Carpenteria State Beach. Along the walk—26 miles the first day, and 13 the second—the doctors will follow and camp at night in pink tents with walkers and crew in the “Wellness Village” to be available around the clock for walkers, supporters and staff, During the walk Zusman sees ”hundreds of feet” and he and other volunteer doctors treat shin splints, plantar fasciitis calf pain and any other foot or leg problems. His advice for walkers: “A good pair of athletic shoes is essential. Wear them with soft, thick or thin socks, depending on climate, and have an extra pair just in case.” Socks should be synthetic. Zusman first became involved in the event when his wife Marsha, now fully recovered, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is now a survivor, and both husband and daughter feel it’s vital to give back. Zusman’s daughter Lisa Zusman picked up the challenge and will be walking for the sixth year in a row with her daughter Madison. “After my mother’s experience, I vowed that I would do anything I could to help women in similar situations,” she said. To date, Lisa Zusman has raised more than $78,000.

Wells Bring Hope Gala To Help Bring Safe Water To South Africa Wells Bring Hope will hold its annual fundraiser from 3-6 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 10 at the Holmby Hills estate of Stanley Black. The L.A.-based nonprofit is committed to drilling wells to bring safe water and sanitation to rural villages in Niger, West Africa, the poorest country in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the all-volunteer WBH, with one paid employee, has funded 447 wells, delivering safe water to close to half a million people. In a garden setting, the evening will include hors d’oeuvres and wine plus silent and live auctions for such items as private jet excursions and a Maui luxury vacation. Tickets are $150 with all proceeds benefiting the organization’s life-saving work.

Rochelle Maize Keeps A Leg Up In A Competitive Luxury Real Estate Market By Matt Lopez To be as successful as Rochelle Maize has been in real estate takes a certain kind of desire. One might even call it, a hunger, to be the best. Maize used that hunger to figure out some interesting ways to hook potential clients. Last year, she sold a North Walden Drive home in the Beverly Hills flats for $5.6 million, the highest per-squarefoot price in the neighborhood since 2014, according to The Real Deal. At the open house – instead of the typical cookies and small treats offered from the broker’s caravan, Maize parked a grilled cheese truck outside the home. Another time, more recently, Maize hired the popular Cousins Maine Lobster truck to park outside of a house she was showing. “It’s fun, it costs a little bit of money, but it always comes back to you,” Maize said. “The visitors enjoy it, the neighbors see it and talk about it. It’s just to get people talking and get people interested.” Creative moves like that have helped Maize carve out a decades-long career, which has

Rochelle Maize

seen her become one of the preeminent names in the competitive real estate field in Beverly Hills and beyond. Maize dipped her toes into the world of real estate after a 15-year career in wealth management. Little did she know at the time how much that financial background would help her. With a history of crunching numbers, home valuations quickly became her calling card. Maize says a large portion of her business comes in the flats and her “big break” came when a friend was selling a property in the 800 block of Foothill. The friend asked Maize to provide a valuation, which the home owner thought was perfect.

“I didn’t really have a lot going on so I had so much time to devote to it,” Maize said. “I ended up basically camping out in front of this house. I brought the only three offers and ended up being very good friends with the agent that brought the buyer.” That same client ended up buying Danny DeVito’s estate off market from Maize for $32 million. “The valuations are really just about hard work and rolling up your sleeves,” Maize said. “The background with numbers helps. You need that education.” Those sales helped kickstart a booming career for Maize, whose name has become synonymous with luxury estates. Over the last year, Maize has racked up more than $200 million in sales. “There’s no other zip code in the world that immediately identifies with money and lux-

ury,” Maize said. “Thank God for the television show (Beverly Hills 90210). Those numbers equate to money and wealth.” Maize said current real estate trends in Beverly Hills have led to things drying up in the mid-market, making it difficult to find quality properties in the flats. “Those homes in the flats in the $6-8 million range,

home – Greenway Manor – at 840 Greenway Dr. Situated on more than 30,000 square feet of flat land, the home features an upgraded kitchen with an oversized kitchen island, seven en-suite bedrooms and 10 custom bathrooms, along with a home theatre and much more. “It’s a stunning property, it’s been a really fun one to

there’s just not a lot of inventory at that level,” Maize said. Maize is currently active on the market with an 11,000square-foot cape cod style

show and have people get to know it,” Maize said. For more information on Greenway Manor, visit http://greenwaymanorbh.com.

B E V E R LY H I L L S R E A L E S TAT E Shawmut Launches Luxury Homes Division By Laura Coleman While the future of the real estate market is anyone’s guess, there seems to be no shortage of buyers for high-end homes. To that end, construction management titan Shawmut Design and Construction recently launched a luxury homes division. According to Shawmut CEO Les Hiscoe, Beverly Hills is shaping up to be its most active market for those new services. Shawmut is currently focused on growing the business in L.A., New York and Miami. With its roots in the residential industry spanning over three decades, the $1.3 billion national construction management firm’s new division aims to combine its refined cost controlling construction delivery system and experience with its talent for sophisticated scheduling and communication. “We started building homes as a special service to our commercial clients who wanted the same superior service we provide for their businesses reflected at home,” explained Hiscoe. “It’s a meaningful move for us and a nod to our heritage as we formalize our commitment and bring our unprecedented expertise to the residential market.” Over the years, Hiscoe said that clients often wanted them to

The Courier: What was your process for the graphics on the construction barriers? Rohan a ‘Beckett: We went through the Architectural Review Board [sic] for adding the text signage to our construction fence. In addition to the construction barriers, the project will have a 40-foot sound wall behind the construction barriers. The sound wall is currently being reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission. Last week, Wanda abandoned plans for their affiliate International Real Estate Center to purchase a 10-acre (fourhectare) $606 million (470-million pounds) property, Nine Elms Square in London, without explanation or details. Wanda, whose holdings range from hotels to entertainment and commercial property, has increasingly come under pressure from the Chinese government of late, as China adds new restrictions on foreign investments in real estate, sports clubs and entertainment. The government has expressed increasing concern over the growing debt incurred in overseas acquisitions by Chinese companies, singling out Dalian Wanda Group, Anbang Insurance Group, and a handful of other multinational Chinese companies.

develop residential properties by employing the same sophisticated approach they use in the commercial world for clients like Nobu, Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton. “We really took the idea to heart,” he said, noting that the key is to be sensible and a good communicator. “We want it to be a wonderful and collaborative experience with the clients.” Hiscoe said that locally the team is already finding favor with entertainers following the creation of a sound space for a Grammywinning music producer who subsequently referred them out. “It seems that our approach is working,” he said.

In July, reports say that uncovered documents showed financial regulators in China have ordered banks to stop loaning Wanda financing for their overseas acquisitions, including entertainment interests. Dalian Wanda Group shares suffered an 11-percent slide Monday amidst rumors that Wang and his family were detained by Chinese authorities Friday in Tianjin airport and later released and barred from leaving China. Wanda released a statement denying the event had occurred, that said these were rumors “concocted with ulterior motives. Wanda Group solemnly states that all rumors have been entirely fabricated with ulterior motives, and hopes that everyone will neither believe nor circulate them,” the statement said. Wang is said to be China’s richest man. In a 4-1 vote, the Beverly Hills City Council sought no construction bond on the property, despite a request by thenCouncilmember Nancy Krasne. The City signed a Development Agreement with $60 million in an up-front payment from Wanda before they can break ground on the project. The City of Beverly Hills expects to see $820 million in revenue over the next 30 years from the project.

until they heard recommendations from Singh’s report. Tuesday is likely to be a long evening, with many policy decisions expected to be decided on the results of the discussions. With 474 completed Rental Unit Registrations (48 percent) and another 168 in process (17 percent) and the balance due Sept. 22, there is still a question of funding for the program. To complete the program by the Jan 22, 2018 deadline, the City will have to bring on temporary staffing, which requires an interim operating budget through the end of the fiscal year, said Director of Community Development Susan Healy Keene. Staff will recommend that the registration continue and that modifications

to the electronic forms be made online. Among the other questions that remain unanswered are whether there should be a landlord- tenant mediation board, and if so, how would it be staffed; habitability standards, which are currently determined by the state requirements, which are quite low; if duplexes, tri-plexes and four-plexes that are owner-occupied should be under the ordinance; relocation fees, code enforcement issues (determined by habitability standards) and rent increases. Healy Keene predicts, based on past meetings, that there will be as many as 50 speakers during the public comment section of the agenda item.

THE FASHION OF BEVERLY HILLS THE CHICANO MAN— The Autry Museum of the American West will mount the first comprehensive exhibition of photographer, essayist, and performance artist Harry Gamboa Jr.’s ongoing series, “Chicano Male Unbonded.” Opening Sept. 16, the exhibition includes more than 90 images, including recent work and photographs on view for the first time. The black-and-white portraits call into question assumptions society has of men of Mexican descent. “I created this work as a way to counter the negative stereotypes people have of Chicano men,” said Gamboa. “They are all photographs of men I know on some personal level. Some I know from academia and the art world, others are family or friends. It’s very interesting to stand back and listen as viewers speculate on who the men are. I’ve heard people comment, just from looking at the pictures, that they are gang members. But then they get closer, read the descriptions and discover that the ‘gang members’ are lawyers, Ph.Ds, artists and novelists. In these days, when political talk includes discussion about the mass deportation of Mexicans and Mexican males in particular are negatively portrayed, this work stands out.” For information, visit: www.theautry.org.

Guitarist Ottmar Liebert Returns To Saban With Concert Sampling Latest Albums, Plus Fresh Versions Of His Hits

Flamenco guitarist Ottmar Liebert, who loves blending genres, styles and traditions, returns to Beverly Hills for an 8 p.m. concert, Saturday, Sept. 9 at The Saban Theatre, 8440 Wilshire Blvd. In addition to hits that have brought him international fans like Barcelona Nights, Surrender 2 Love and Heart Still Beating, Liebert will perform songs from his two latest albums and draw from his catalog of nearly 30 recordings. He plans to give fans three selections from Waiting n Swan, his tribute to Bob Marley. “I was a big fan,” says Liebert. “In the mid-’70s he was played at virtually every teenage party my friends and I went to. He was bigger than the Beatles or the Stones; and his lyrics talked about political and social change.” Plus, Liebert loves to show how reggae and some forms of flamenco come from the same African roots. “It’s a cool pairing,” says Liebert. He points out that both tango and reggae have a de-emphasis on the first beat. “So in a song like Waiting In Vain the percussionist plays a one-drop drum beat on the first count, and with the tango rhythm it works. And it shows how these rhythms come from the same source.” On the East Coast, Liebert played for some musicians who had toured with Marley. “They liked what we were doing, so that was cool,” Liebert says.

Ottmar Liebert

For his latest album, Slow, Liebert decided to try something completely different. “Sometime in 2015 I decided to record by myself, without the band, and that I wanted to create ‘slow’ music,” Liebert says. “I wanted to raise my guitar against the sound of billions of smartphones beeping with the latest news, mentions, likes and comments,

keeping us in a state of constant alarm. I also discovered that there has been scientific research into how slow music can relax listeners’ heartbeat and lower their blood pressure.” Engineering the album, Liebert created the sound of a bass guitar by recording his guitar at half speed, and other sounds by hitting the back of his instrument. “The sounds that are more keyboard-like are guitar chords that I’ve reversed.” Liebert will once again be coming with group Luna Negra (black moon) with Jon Gagan, who’s been with him since 1989, on electric bass, and Chris Steele, of Venice, on cajon and drums. While Slow was strictly a personal project, the trio has created a way to bring the selection Butterfly Dream to the stage. “Jon came up with a bass line and Chris added a drum part and the song works really well.” For Liebert, who’s lived in Santa Fe since 1986, music is a lot like the bread he makes almost daily, experimenting with potatoes, blue-corn flour and brown rice gruel. “The best things come from mixing stuff up. There’s no purity in music.” Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $32-$58.

Richard Anderson, “The Six Million Dollar Man” Dies In Beverly Hills Home Richard Anderson, best known for his portrayal of Oscar Goldman -- boss to Lee Majors on The Six Million Dollar Man and Lindsay Wagner in the spinoff The Bionic Woman – died Thursday at age 91. Anderson died at his home in Beverly Hills, according to publicist Jonathan Taylor. A New Jersey native, Anderson began his career with MGM, where he worked as a messenger before signing an acting contract and appearing in films such as Forbidden Planet and The Magnificent Yankee. He later appeared in director Stanley Kubrick's World War I drama Paths of Glory, John Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May and Sidney Sheldon's The Buster Keaton Story.

He also worked opposite Paul Newman in The Long, Hot Summer. Anderson also had a prolific television career, appearing in more than 100 series, most notably portraying the brotherin-law of Dr. Richard Kimble in the final episodes of the ABC drama The Fugitive. But it was his work as Oscar Goldman, head of a secretive government agency that "rebuilt" severely injured astronaut Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man, that made him truly famous. Majors, who portrayed Austin in the classic series, recalled that he first met his future TV boss when Anderson guest-starred on The Big Valley in 1967.

Anderson is survived by three daughters, Ashley, Brooke and Deva. Their mother, Katharine Thalberg -- daughter of Irving Thalberg and Norma Shearer -- died in 2006. She and Anderson were married from 1961-73. Memorial services are expected to be private.

VIRTUAL REALITY

BEVERLY HILLS

have been conducted to thoroughly study the effectiveness of these interventions. Gold, a clinical psychologist and director of the Pediatric Pain Management Clinic in the Department of Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), has embarked on a new study to examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) for children and adolescents. He and a team of researchers have hypothesized that patients using VR will report significantly less procedural pain and anticipatory anxiety, as well as lower heart rates and less behavioral distress, than patients receiving the standard of care, such as topical anesthetics. “Pain is not simple,” says Gold. “Most people think pain is just about tissue damage, but the pain system is really a complex and sophisticated network of signals cascading across many regions of the brain. It is an integrated chemical, physiological and behavioral response.” AppliedVR, a software solutions company, is supplying specialized headsets for the study and working with Gold to design and develop content for the virtual reality experience. Gold, who is also a professor of Anesthesiology, Pediatrics, and

Dr. Jeffrey I. Gold

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at USC’s Keck School of Medicine explains that not everything produced for VR is valid for managing pain. “We’re testing an ‘environment’ here that’s being developed especially for the purposes of pain management.” Immersive VR allows the user to become an active participant in a virtual world as it captures the visual, auditory and tactile senses, as well as the limbic sense of emotion. “When someone is fully engaged and immersed in a VR experience, they are releasing endorphins,” he says. “These endorphins can produce an opioid response that markedly reduces the patient’s subjective pain.” Given the significant concerns about problematic opioid use in the U.S., Gold is hopeful that evidence-based support for non-pharmaceutical interventions such as VR may lead to improved procedural pain management and a decreased need for narcotics.

SCHOOL SHELTER (Continued from page 4)

District officials became aware of the nearby police activity around 12:55 p.m. according to Beverly Hills Unified School District spokesperson Laura Skirde. “Even in a case like this when the shelter in place was only a precautionary measure, our school administrators will always follow police guidance,” she said.

Beverly Hills Police subsequently told Hawthorne Principal Michelle Dar to proceed with releasing kindergarten students as scheduled, with the caveat of keeping the kids inside and releasing them one-by-one as each parent arrived as a precaution. At 1:15 p.m. BHPD told district staff to lift the shelter in place. Following a brief investigation, BHPD concluded that no crime had been committed.

Astrology By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 1). The love coming into your life will grow and grow. You'll sail the uncharted territory and make your own map in October. In November, choices that seem monumental are actually as silly as worrying about choosing which side of the bread to butter. Not knowing makes it exciting. Dive in: It's delicious either way. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some things are beautiful because they fit so perfectly into a well-defined niche. Other things are beautiful because they are so difficult to explain or define. The latter kind brings today's wonderment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The human fight-or-flight response only works with outside stimuli. No human can run fast enough to get away from his or her inner life. Fighting with it is futile, too. An accepting, gentle conversation will do much good, though. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nothing is interesting until someone is interested in it. When you pay attention and hook into what fascinates you, you'll make the subject more appealing to others. Your curiosity is, in essence, a public service. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relax. Let the stressful thoughts float by without grabbing hold of them. There's a lot running through your head that you can safely dismiss, if only because you've already thought it before. What's new and important will stand out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People show appreciation in the way they know how. Often, it's not in the timeliest or politest way, but we're not all coming from the same teaching in that regard. Let it go and accept kindness however it comes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). They're seeking the same thing that you are: love, peace and connection. Of course, a fair exchange of goods, services and money would be nice, too. You just might get it all. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). When you get a whiff of something that reminds you of the past, this can trigger an incommensurable emotional response in you that's not an accurate representation of what's actually going on. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Many situations are ambiguous. It's the way we interpret them that gives them context and meaning. To take a neutral situation and turn it into something negative is to needlessly drain a little joy from your life. Let in the light. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). When working harder doesn't solve it, stop. You don't want to exhaust your energy in the wrong direction. Also, there's no need to prove you're the hardest worker. Anyway, you're more into getting results. So ask for advice. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Contraction is the natural reaction to the cold or hardness of either external or internal circumstances–a narrowing of focus and life. Now what will you do to counter it? CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know a lot on the subject at hand and will be asked for your opinion. You'll be slow to weigh in, though, ever aware that there are always new insights. Peers will respect your humility. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you're really “on” (as you'll find you will frequently be over the next three weeks) your stories will be like theme park rides taking people out of the atmosphere into a new world before returning them safely back to the car park.

BEVERLY HILLS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: September 14, 2017 TIME: 7:00 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: City Council Chamber, Beverly Hills City Hall, 455 North Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 PROJECT ADDRESS:

9200 Wilshire Boulevard

The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, September 14, 2017, will hold a public hearing beginning at 7:00 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard to consider the following: PROJECT DESCRIPTION A Planned Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Tract Map were approved in September 2007 to allow a mixed-use project in the M-PD4 Mixed Use Planned Development Overlay Zone containing a minimum of 14,000 square feet of commercial space and no more than 54 multifamily units. (Approved Project). On June 6, 2016, the applicant submitted an application to modify the Approved Project by reducing the commercial floor area from 14,000 square feet to 5,696 square feet, increasing the multi-family residential component from 54 units to 90 units, shifting the areas of building modulation, reducing the number of subterranean parking levels from four to three while providing surplus parking, and changing project access and circulation (Original Modified Project). The Planning Commission considered the Original Modified Project at its regular meeting held on July 13, 2017. At the conclusion of the July 13, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission directed the applicant to revise the proposed project, and voted to create an Ad Hoc Committee consisting of two Planning Commissioners to work with the applicant on project revisions. The Ad Hoc Committee held one meeting on July 27, 2017 to review project design revisions. The applicant subsequently requested for the matter to be brought forward to the full Planning Commission for consideration of a further revised Project (the Revised Modified Project) consisting of 6,119 square feet of commercial floor area and 54 residential condominium units, two subterranean parking levels with surplus parking on the ground floor behind less than 40’-0” of building space facing a street, and with some modifications to building modulation and traffic control devices. The Revised Modified Project requires Planning Commission review of a Planned Development Permit and Vesting Tentative Tract Map applications. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The subject project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was certified by the City Council when the project was originally approved by the City in 2007. An addendum to the 2007 FEIR was prepared for the Planning Commission’s consideration of the Originally Modified Project on July 13, 2017. However, based on the recent changes in the Revised Modified Project, the Planning Commission may rely on the 2007 FEIR, given that the Revised Modified Project now contains the same number of residential units, is no taller, and contains substantially the same uses as what was studied in the 2007 FEIR. The primary changes to the Approved Project include a decrease in the retail space of more than 8,000 square feet and a reduction in the number of subterranean parking levels. Other changes include changes to site circulation and ground floor access/entry configurations, building modulation, and reconfiguration of rooftop amenities, which according to analysis in the Addendum to the 2007 FEIR, were found not to result in any new significant environmental impacts beyond what was studied in the 2007 FEIR.

Beverly Hills Hazardous Waste Roundup Set for Sept. 16 By Victoria Talbot The City of Beverly Hills will host a public Household Hazardous Waste and E-Waste disposal Sept. 16, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the corner of Foothill Rd. and Civic Center Drive. The event is open to all Los Angeles County residents. This is an opportunity to safely dispose of items such as brake fluid, paints, paint thinner, cleaners with acid or lye, pesticides, herbicides, batteries and car batteries, pool chemicals, motor oil and oil filters, expired pharmaceuticals, antifreeze and fluorescent light bulbs. E-waste includes computer monitors, televisions, computer CPUs, keyboards, printers, cell phones and other used electronics. Paint can also be recycled at participating retailers through www.PaintCare.org or by calling 855724-6809. Motor oil can be recycled by

commissioners and City Councilmembers supported the trend. Weiss knew nothing about land use, city government or the process of appeal. She knew the applicant was Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini. As with the residents in Bel-Air, “It was a huge learning curve,” she said. As Weiss struggled to inform herself, and then her neighbors, another group of neighbors were forming in a multi-family neighborhood south of Sunset to oppose the demolition of three apartment buildings on Oakhurst Drive that formed part of what they believe is an historic area. The buildings at 332-336 N. Oakhurst Dr. sport green lawns, mature vegetation and an old-Hollywood feel that long-term residents understand as the backdrop of Los Angeles. A potential Historic District, according to historic surveys of the block, the buildings are located partially in Los Angeles and partially in Beverly Hills, also represented home to a group of vulnerable tenants facing Ellis Act evictions. The Ellis Act is a state law which says that landlords have the unconditional right to evict tenants to “go out of business.” These evictions are most often used to convert rental units to condominiums, using loopholes in the condo law. A formal complaint accused the applicant of engaging in irregular conduct towards the tenants, even boarding up the building with tenants still inside, inspiring long-time neighbors to act. Furthermore, their research revealed that the buildings were the 1937 work of Edith Mortensen Northman, described by the Los Angeles Times in 1937 as “Los Angeles’ only female architect.” Mortenson had an exceptional career building homes in Los Feliz, Hollywood and Hancock

Park for film industry professionals, succeeding during the Depression in a field many men could not sustain. Robert Block and Steve Mayer were not exactly neophytes as both men had experience in real estate and property issues. But the two-city jurisdictional issues and historic possibilities made the Oakhurst situation entirely unique. In February 2015, the Beverly Hills City Council held a special meeting to consider filing an appeal of the City of Los Angeles Advisory Agency Approval of a vesting tentative tract map and adoption of a mitigated negative declaration to allow the construction of the 31-unit condominium project. They denied the appeal, and in doing that, they also ceded authority over the project to the City of Los Angeles. LA would derive the tax benefits but the residents would have all the advantages of Beverly Hills services. Mayer appealed. When 196 trees were cut down on Parcels 12 & 13 by the Beverly Hills Land Company in November 2015 on arsenic-laced soil so toxic it was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), residents began calling the City right away. Several of them had attended an earlier meeting with the DTSC that detailed possible plans to mitigate the arsenic-laden parcels. One of the plans, called a Remedial Action Workplan (RAW), would have all the trees removed so that the property owner could mitigate to a depth that would permit habitation on the land. However, following the meeting, resident Lionel Ephram examined the DTSC information and noted that the RAW was for parcels in a nonresidential area and for land without trees, invalidating the RAW. After the tree-cutting debacle, Ephram reached out to the neighboring residents. Many of the neighbors who had mobilized over 332-336 N. Oakhurst were already

Her partnership with artist Ed Massey and Portraits of Hope has brought thousands of visitors to see the spectacle during the month of August in the Lily Pond. BOLD has proven to be wildly successful in a limited launch that truly elevated the buzz and excitement in the business triangle, bringing in shoppers after 6 p.m. when stores are traditionally closed.

acquainted – with each other and with City officials. As the situation with Parcels 12 & 13 unfolded, including the Courier’s mining of City documents through a Public Information Request that revealed that City officials appeared to have promoted the activities, ignored safety concerns for residents, and attempted to perpetrate misinformation to the public, residents wanted to know who was responsible. At the heart of the matter was a plan for the Beverly Hills Land Company to build a mixed-use development on the property that is in a T-Zone, for transportation only. To do so would require a favorable City Council, contributing to a newly-minted distrust of City politics. North Beverly Hills association president and former City Mayor Robert Tanenbaum and Thomas White, chairman of the Municipal League of Beverly Hills became involved, bringing multi-family residents and single-family homeowners together in the search for accountability. The ensuing months revealed much about City Hall as they bungled their way through their response to the incident. Each wave of response, from City Council events to town hall meetings engaged the residents. “What makes our City unique and special is the sense of community and small town family feeling we all have living here,” said Bosse. “There is a pride that is collectively shared… it inspires many to get involved proactively in shaping the future of our City.” From Oakhurst to Loma Vista, people who had never been engaged before in City government found themselves on the front lines of the battle to preserve their communities. Slowly, public opinion has shifted, bringing developers and real estate speculators into sharper focus in contrast with a time when realtors sold homes

September 1, 2017 | Page 17 the café seating on Rodeo Drive and a renewed commitment to keep feeding the buzz to retain Beverly Hills’ status as a destination shopping location. In short, Bosse has shown she will go to any lengths to promote a healthy City, healthy people and a healthy business environment in the City of Beverly Hills. “Mayor Bosse’s momentum will almost certainly guarantee a sold-out event,” said Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Todd Johnson, adding that the mayor, “hit the ground running with her term and rolled out the BOLD initiative shortly after taking office. She has accomplished something that the business community has been hungry for, for a long time.” All are welcome; tickets are $50 for members, $60 for non-members.

to people who lived in them. Up on Loma Vista, Weiss mobilized, urging her neighbors to write letters and show up at Planning Commission meetings. For many people, she gave them a voice and words to talk about the impacts such a massive project would have on their neighborhood. Lawn signs proclaimed, “Save Our Neighborhood: Stop Aquilini.” The Loma Linda project galvanized the neighborhood and drew the support of Beverly Hills North Homeowners Association and the Municipal League. Residents who had engaged in the Oakhurst battle and Parcels 12 & 13 brought their support, knowledge and experience. With so many residents spending so many hours on activism, hiring attorneys, educating themselves and fighting for their neighborhood characters, something shifted. Developers no longer had the element of surprise, the expectation that residents were ignorant of the laws, or that they could get their developments, no matter how outrageous, passed. "There is no group more knowledgeable nor better suited to understand the needs of a neighborhood than those who live in that neighborhood,” said Vice Mayor Julian Gold. “City councils rely on those residents to help us maintain the integrity of our neighborhoods. Both Loma Vista and Loma Linda are good examples of this.” Last summer, the Beverly Hills City Council approved the Hillside Development Ordinance as an Urgency Ordinance, meeting the threshold that, “the City Council finds and determines that there is an immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare.” The overflow crowd included several attorneys for the Aquilini project, AKA Loma Linda Trust, and a very organized and informed group in opposition to the project who supported the Hillside Ordinance.

Lawyers for the Loma Linda Trust demonstrated a shocking level of unprofessional behavior, catcalling and attempting to personally smear Weiss during the proceedings. “Our hillside community is particularly well organized by a few citizen activists who are concerned with health and safety issues relating to largescale developments,” said Planning Commission Chair Lori Greene Gordon. “In the case of the Lago Vista project, these activists brought together a team of resident lawyers, engineers and other professionals that provided compelling testimony to our commission and ultimately helped us reach a unanimous decision to deny the project.” “It is community activism that created the City of Beverly Hills over 100 years ago, and that fact remains true today,” said Mayor Lili Bosse, referring to then- residents’ refusal to be annexed to the city of Los Angeles. “Our identity will always depend on it.” The Hillside Ordinance could not stop the developer from bringing the project back, and suing the City for the Urgency Ordinance. A “by right” project that split the property into two houses to stay below the trigger of 1,500 cubic yards of export on each property does not appear to require Planning Commission or City Council review. Taken together, however, Weiss said that the impact is the same, exporting nearly 3,000 cubic yards of soil. In the pipeline, several projects seeking variances that will impact the hillsides are waiting. Weiss, Mayer, Block, Tanenbaum and a host of new activists joined residents Anne and Peter Ostroff to oppose a project on Loma Vista Drive. They succeeded, so far. Ostroff has joined TEAM Beverly Hills, and Block completed the course last year. Next week, Part 4: The Bird Streets

Hurricane Harvey Fundraising Effort To Be Held At Sunday’s UCLA Football Game To promote donations, both teams will wear a special helmet decal to help bring awareness of those affected by Hurricane Harvey, now a tropical depression. Pre-game and in-game announcements and video board reminders will also be made. “It’s easy to feel helpless at a time like this, but when we come together and use the platform of sports for what really matters, our collective power to make a difference is far more impactful than we could have imagined," UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said. –– City News Service

NORMANS AT ROXBURY – While the synthetic field replacement project at Beverly Hills High School gets underway, the City has permitted the varsity football team to use Roxbury Park for weekday practices. Both AYSO and the City made accommodations to existing programs to allow for such use. The team will be playing away games until the turf project's completion in mid-October. Here's to a great season Normans.

A fundraising effort for the American Red Cross to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey will be held at Sunday’s UCLA-Texas A&M football game at the Rose Bowl. Fans attending the game will be asked to text keyword “HARVEY” to 75759 to make a donation. Fans donating at least $10 will receive two free tickets to the Sept. 9 UCLA-Hawaii football game. The tickets can be received by showing your donation receipt at one of three customer service booths on the Rose Bowl Stadium concourse before the end of the third quarter.

Beverly Hills High Football Team Starts Season With 35-0 Loss

Lakers Fined $500,000 For Violating NBA’s Anti-Tampering Rules In Contacting Then Indiana Pacer Paul George

The Beverly Hills High football team lost its season opener last Friday, 35-0, to Carnegie Schools of Riverside. The game – played at Culver City High – was the culmination of a rough few weeks for the Normans who, as we reported last week, have not yet been able to practice on their own home field, as the BHHS turf is undergoing a renovation. BHHS coach Steve Geanakos said the team is hoping to finally be able to practice and play a game at home by late September.

In Friday’s loss, BHHS junior Nick Sullivan carried 25 times for 114 yards, one of the lone bright spots in the loss for the Normans. Decklan Eaden ran for 165 yards on just eight carries to lead Carnegie. Carnegie led 14-0 after the first quarter and scored a touchdown in each of the three ensuing quarters to pull away from the Normans. The Normans return to the field tonight to play at Nordhoff High at 7 p.m. Nordhoff opened its season last week with a 23-20 win over Hueneme.

The NBA Thursday fined the Los Angeles Lakers $500,000 for violating the league's anti-tampering rule by contacting the agent of then-Indiana Pacer Paul George. “The conduct at issue involved communications by Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka with the agent representing Paul George that constituted a prohibited expression of interest in the player while he was under contract,” according to the NBA. “The penalty reflected a previous warning issued by the NBA to the Lakers regarding tampering, following comments made by Lakers President of Basketball Operations Earvin Johnson about Paul George during an April 20 national television appearance.” The league noted that the investigation -- conducted by the New York City-

based law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz -- did not find any evidence of an agreement that the Lakers would acquire George, a four-time all-star who was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder on July 6 and could become a free agent following the 2017-18 season. George, a Palmdale native, has long expressed interest in playing for the Lakers. “We respect and accept the NBA's decision regarding this matter," Pelinka said. "On behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers, I want to express our regret over this unfortunate incident to both our fans and the NBA.” Adam Streisand, an outside attorney working with the Lakers, said the team “can assure the fans that the Lakers will be hyper-vigilant going forward to make sure this is never an issue again.”

Viewing Parties For U.S.-Costa Rica Soccer Game Set For Six Locations Viewing parties will be held at six locations in the Southland for Friday's telecasts of the U.S.-Costa Rica World Cup qualifier. The 3:30 p.m. game from Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, will be televised in English by ESPN and in Spanish by Univision and Univision Deportes Network. The viewing parties will be held at: • The Auld Dubliner, 2497 Park Ave., Tustin; • Buffalo Wild Wings, 2548 E. Workman Ave., West Covina; • Q's Billiard Club, 11835 Wilshire Blvd., Brentwood; • 1739 Public House, 1739 N. Vermont Ave., Los Feliz; • Shannon's On Pine, 209 Pine

Ave., Long Beach; • Underground Pub & Grill, 1334 Hermosa Ave., Hermosa Beach. The parties are organized by various chapters of American Outlaws, a nationwide support group for the U.S. men's and women’s national soccer teams. The U.S. enters the game trying to stay ahead of Panama in the race for the third and final automatic berth in the 2018 FIFA World Cup from the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football. The U.S. is third in the final round of qualifying with a 2-2-2 record for eight points, while Panama is fourth with seven points on a 1-1-4 record. –– City News Service

Joan Mangum For some people, life begins at 20...or 30...or even 40. For Beverly Hills resident Steve Sheanin, however, make that 75. This former successful publisher has turned his hobby of barbecuing ribs in the backyard of his home into a new and bustling business called BBQ Hero Ribs, which has been recently saluted with an article in The New York Times.

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs ****** Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Landlords’ primary beef appears to be with the 3percent allowable yearly rent increase in the ordinance. For the record, annual allowable rent increases in other rent stabilized cities are at or close to the consumer price index of 2-percent but, here in Beverly Hills, landlords claim to need 7-percent just to keep up. This is absurd at face value, for what it says is that every year the increase in expenses to a landlord in Beverly Hills is 350-percent greater than other cities in the U.S., compounded year after year. Landlords have also gone out of their way to misstate the entire purpose of the Rent Stabilization Ordinance as “to provide more affordable housing to those in need.” Quite the contrary, its purpose it to provide basic security and protection for hardworking Beverly Hills residents and their families—people who contribute to our shared community, attend our schools, houses of worship, and patronize local businesses—yet are treated by some unscrupulous property owners as second-class citizens who live under the constant fear of no-cause evictions, retaliation, and unacceptable habitability standards. The landlord/tenant relationship is not one of equals, and the ordinance partially addresses this power imbalance by providing a system that ensures accountability for and enforcement of regulations that protect the rights of tenants to feel secure in their own homes. The very notion of a Rental Registry is a major bugaboo for landlords, but the arguments they offer in opposition make no sense and, clearly, the honor system that been in place for decades has not been ineffective—good results only come with good data. Based on a limited study of landlord licensing, we have concluded that no less than 10-percent of all apartment owners are unlicensed in the City, and we are asked to trust that their $300+ million in rents are being fully reported to the City. This is what the landlords are truly concerned about, and not their stated terms that they are nobly worried about public disclosure of “sensitive” information on behalf their tenants. All potentially sensitive and personal information is redacted from the registry, and the Renters Committee has offered up a plan that makes implementing it a cost neutral, and potentially even revenue-generating, proposal. Those who follow the rules and have nothing to hide have nothing to fear from transparency of information. Another major argument from local landlords is that buildings of four or less units should be magically exempt from any Rent Stabilization Ordinance. A building’s size has no bearing on the fact that the asset is a business with the all the attendant financial benefits of depreciation, tax deductions, etc., or that the tenants are paying customers entitled to the same rights and consumer protections as anyone else. It may be your property, but it is our home and, as a sole-service provider of an essential commodity, landlords should fully expect a higher level of governmental regulation to help insure against abuse of this nearly monopolistic power, once their tenants have signed a lease and no longer have other free-market choices. Finally, landlords want to categorically dismiss the 30-year-old rent control laws from neighboring cities like Los Angeles, West Hollywood, and Santa Monica as being outdated and anachronistic. These laws have stood the test of time, have addressed contentious issues, and withstood legal challenges, without substantially affecting property owners’ ample financial gains on their investments. No city we know of has ever discontinued rent controls once they have been established. In another publication, a representative of the Property Owners Association has urged for the passage of Rent Ordinance laws that, and I quote verbatim, “don’t have any moral component to them.” There is a name for a system in which a powerful minority imposes amoral laws upon the majority—Tyranny. Is this the system we want to be the law of the land in Beverly Hills? Michael Schulman ****** As a resident of Beverly Hills for more than 40 years, I attempted to speak at two of the early meetings on the subject of rent control. However, I was totally ignored by the chairman and not allowed to speak. I felt it important to bring up the subject of painting which is done every five year in rent controlled cities and carpeting which is shampooed every three years or replaced every seven years. What’s the problem? C. R. Cavendish ****** Robert Block wrote a letter to the Courier last week decrying the disconnect between the residents of

our City and its government. Among his complaints, which he ascribes to “mediocre minds,” is that our school system is “deeply in debt and bent on replacing our teachers with administrators.” This current school board inherited many challenging conditions–organizational, academic performance-wise, and financial; and we are committed to resolving them. But Mr. Block's focus misses the mark. Aside from the unfunded liability related to teachers' pensions which is quite ordinary, and the Christiansen court judgment which is under appeal, the BHUSD is not “deeply in debt.” More importantly, we are not bent on “replacing teachers with administrators.” We are bent on reducing the overstaffing of teachers that has built up over the past several years as our student population declined, and accounts for our annual operating deficit. Also, the school board supports Superintendent Bregy's wise decisions to hire a communications officer, missing from the district since the lighthouse years of Superintendent Ken Peters and Communications Officer Ken Gelms, and a student services officer to improve the district’s educational program. Mr. Block's statement is false, and a disservice to the community. Mel Spitz, President, BHUSD Board of Education ****** As a resident of Beverly Hills for the last 40 years, I am embarrassed to walk down South Beverly Drive with out-of-town guests. Recently, one guest remarked that, although we may have many large trashcans, we still have the filthiest sidewalks that he has ever seen! How ironic is this! Our multi-cultural population enjoys visiting South Beverly Drive because it is populated with an eclectic range of restaurants. Unfortunately, it is one of the filthiest areas of any place I have visited, including Marrakesh, London, Paris, Berlin, and several east European cities. Many U.S. cities such as Carmel and Redlands that also have high traffic eating areas, are cleaned multiple times a day. In spite of voicing my concerns to our City on numerous occasions, nothing has changed. In order to see positive change, it is imperative that members of our City Council develop a new action plan to address this urgent need, especially with the increase of pedestrian traffic on South Beverly Drive. Stanley Bauer ****** Last week’s letter to the editor from members of the Beverly Hills City Council rightfully condemned the hate groups prevalent at the riots in Charlottesville (i.e. Neo-Nazis. racists, anti-Semites, the KKK, et al), none of which should ever be welcome in our City. I’m certain it was an oversight but no mentionwas made of another prominent (and often) radical group, namely Antifa which is seemingly composed of paid, often masked, thugs recruited on the Internet whose entire purpose is to incite fights and brass knuckle violence to play to TV news’ appetites. Let them stay in Berkeley, Seattle, Ferguson, Baltimore, San Jose, Chicago, downtown L.A., or wherever. We certainly don’t need nor want any of their kind invading Beverly Hills. M.S. Lawrence ****** No sooner than my article concerning our sidewalk safety and some solutions get published, but then I read our always pondering City Council decides that it is going to have tables and chairs on Rodeo Drive for people watching. Who is going to watch who? We don't know anyone walking in the street anymore since a great meeting area has been turned into a tourist location. Unless you are a fan of unusual attire, then I can’t imagine what else is there to see. However, it does increase risk in the City. I like classical music, my youngest grandchild likes childrens´ songs, the older ones prefer Lady Gaga, etc. Who decided to have music in the streets? Was it by majority or just because the City wants to blow money. There are a lot of hungry people roaming the City and all our schools are inadequately protected because not enough money is directed toward security by police officers. Frankly, I don't care what the city/school debates are, but I definitely do care about out schoolchildren being safe. Pablo Nankin, MD

Cartoon for the Courier by Janet Salter In a recent editorial, former City Treasurer Elliot Finkel asserts that the BHUSD “lags in both test scores and college acceptances.” The fact is that our K-8 schools continue to be ranked in the top 1percent of all schools in the state. Last year, state testing placed the BHUSD in the top 1.27-percent of all school districts in California. The BHUSD also ranks 4th out of all Basic Aid school districts in the state. U.S.News & World Report continues to rank Beverly Hills High School as a top high school, and considering the significant increase in state test scores, improved National Merit Scholar Results, and an increase in AP test scores, our school district is on an upward trajectory for success. Beverly High students are consistently admitted to top universities in the country, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UC Berkeley, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Vassar, Brown, Georgetown, and Mr. Finkel’s own alma mater, the University of Chicago. He further asserts that this board has “shirked its financial responsibility.” He is apparently unaware that in late 2016, Moody’s Investors Service had assigned an AAA rating to BHUSD. Moody’s noted that the AAA rating reflects the “district’s stable financial position with healthy reserves.” Mr. Finkel is also incorrect that BHUSD spends “over 50 percent more per student than comparable districts, $15,600 versus $10,000 or less.” San Marino and Santa Monica-Malibu spend more than $14,000 per student, Pasadena spends over $13,000 per student. Mr. Finkel speciously proclaims that: “Instead of being open and transparent about its finances, the board has been secretive and opaque.” He fails to recognize that the California Education Code requires our board to submit two interim financial reports and one final financial report each year to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) along with a certification about the ability to continue paying obligations in the current and two subsequent budgetary years, not five years as Mr. Finkel incorrectly asserts. The board copiously discusses and approves all financial reports in open session before they are submitted to LACOE. Finally, he does not understand the purpose and importance of the JPA to this community. The joint use of facilities benefits children and the wider community by providing safe, accessible places for recreation after school hours and on weekends. Increased opportunities for physical activity can improve overall health and well-being, prevent obesity, and improve academic performance. Joint use of facilities provides an opportunity for the City and BHUSD to work together to maximize resources, keep costs down, and achieve shared goals. Howard Goldstein, Member of the BHUSD Board of Education ****** I am a private citizen, living over 45 years in Beverly Hills. I do not know much about finances of our municipality nor the BHUSD, but something strikes me as odd. The BHUSD is paying up to $59,830 for an audit to evaluate the JPA to find the maximum it can charge for its services as if it were a real estate entity in the field of renting sports and community facilities. The BHUSD gets most of its revenue from the local property taxes, the majority from households that no longer have students in district schools.. Where is the evaluation of how the JPA enhances the life of the citizens of Beverly Hills, mostly the families of your students, past present and future? It does that at a small incremental cost to its budget, for which it should be reimbursed. The BHUSD is also entitled to be reimbursed by the City for the cost of the additional 38 out-of-district students. Since it is a bonus for the City employees, it can be paid from the tax revenue. If you ended up having revenue of $572,450 for a year in the past, it was a relatively small amount but was a win–win situation to the City and the school district as it enhances both sides, and is augmented by the added value to life in this great City.
