Santa Monica Mayor and City Council Call for an End to Needle Exchange Program at Reed Park

Mayor’s opinion, Los Angeles County’s Harm Reduction Syringe Services Program, that distributes not only clean needles, but cans of Narcan which is a lifesaving drug for people who have overdosed, interferes with the City Council’s strategy.

added his opinion during an earlier statement during a City Council meeting that, as quoted by The Santa Monica Daily Press, “having it next to a children’s playground was not appropriate.”, but it is unknown how close the program site is to the playground itself.

By Dolores Quintana

Santa Monica Mayor Sue Himmelrich has formally requested that Los Angeles County end the Harm Reduction Syringe Services Program that takes place in Reed Park and relocate it to an indoor site.

“We understand our limited regulatory authority,” the letter reads, “however, rather than implement this program in our parks and open spaces, we seek your assistance in immediately moving this program to a service rich environment (preferably indoors) where individuals in need of substance abuse, mental health, and other services can coordinate and work directly with service providers,” and noted that the city of Santa Monica’s Four Pillars Strategy specifically wants to “address homelessness and prevent residents from becoming unhoused.” by maintaining access to open spaces such as parks. In the

The Mayor did not explain how keeping park space open by relocating a three hour needle exchange program benefits the unhoused. The website laodprevention.org seems to indicate that the program at Reed Park is the only such program on the Westside.

Himmelrich and Santa Monica City officials have asked for a proposal from the County to place further restrictions on the location, times and procedures for the Harm Reduction program going forward. The program is run by The Venice Family Clinic as part of their Common Ground Program and is certified by the County. Councilmember Phil Brock said, as quoted by The Santa Monica Daily Press, “We think, in the city, [there are] probably seven or eight good locations. I think several people talked to some of the people that were receiving the needles, and they said they would go where the clean needles were — that it wasn’t that people had to come — that they had to come to them, because it was drawing more people to Reed Park and other parks in the city.” Councilmember Brock has also

However, the closest locations on LA OD Prevention.org site are in Culver City, Lawndale and Beverly Hills and unhoused people face specific challenges with traveling from different locations within the City because many of them lack vehicles or other forms of transportation other than public transportation or their own feet.

The medical director for Los Angeles County’s substance abuse program, Brian Hurley, said as quoted by The Los Angeles Times, “In our view, the community concerns, while I can understand them, I also would underscore that it’s not as though the county Department of Public Health is intending to overwhelm the park with an overwhelming number of services,” We’re talking about something that’s three hours a week.”

Hurley added, as quoted by The Santa Monica Daily Press through an emailed statement, “Venice Family Clinic’s Common Ground Program is the only LA County certified syringe program with a fixed location on the Westside. We are aware that Asian

American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) also occasionally operates nearby Opioid Treatment Programs within LA County Service Planning Area 5, but they don’t have a fixed location on the Westside of Los Angeles.”

However, Hurley stated that the program held in Reed Park had additional services that it provides for those who come to the site, including LA County certified harm reduction syringe service programs offer naloxone distribution, safer use equipment including sterile syringes, referrals to medical, mental health, and substance use disorder treatment services, screening for sexually transmitted infections and referrals to housing services for individuals experiencing homelessness.

City Officials Considering Spending $29 Million to Replace Santa Monica Pier Bridge

City of Santa Monica releases EIR For Santa Monica Pier bridge replacement

By Dolores Quintana

The City of Santa Monica is considering spending $29 million to replace the bridge connecting the Santa Monica Pier to Ocean Avenue.

The Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Assessment concerning the proposed Santa Monica Pier Bridge replacement has been released for public review and comment which you can view here. You can also view the documents in person at the Santa Monica Main Branch Library, at 601 Santa Monica Boulevard, or the Ocean Park Branch Library, at 2601 Main Street. Public comment is open from September 22, 2022, and 5:30 p.m. on November 10, 2022.

If you would like to send your comments via email, you can address them to Omeed. Pour@santamonica.gov or send them through the post office to this address:

City of Santa Monica

Engineering and Street Services Division,

Attention: Omeed Pour, P.E.

1685 Main St #15, Santa Monica, CA 90401

If you would prefer to comment in person, a meeting with Santa Monica Staff is planned for October 13, 2022, at 6:30 p.m., at Santa Monica Institute (SMI) Training Room, 330 Olympic Drive, Santa Monica, CA 90401

The EIR details three alternative plans:

• Alternative 1 – wider (15’ vs 9’) sidewalk on the north side of the bridge.

• Alternative 2 – wider (15’ vs 9’) sidewalk on the south side of the bridge,

• No Build. The bridge would not be replaced and remain as is.

Of course, Alternative 1 and 2 would replace the bridge with a structure that would be seismically sound and safe into

the future, while Alternative 3 would do nothing to fix the state of the Pier Bridge, but would not come with any costs.

When we reached out for comment, Constance Farrell, Communications & Public Information Manager for the City of Santa Monica said, via an emailed statement, “The Pier Bridge Replacement Project has been part of the City’s capital planning since the 1990s. As you know it is a high-traffic and highly utilized community asset. The Pier bridge has outlived its design life cycle and is ready for replacement.”

Farrell added, in response to a question about why the Pier Bridge replacement is happening now, “The mention of the 2028 Olympics is only part of the equation in that we’d like to have construction completed before then; it is not the impetus for the project.”

Finally, Farrell responded to a question about the cost of the Pier Bridge replacement and said, “The project construction cost is currently estimated at $29 million, for both build alternatives.”

Man Arrested for Santa Monica College Sexual Assaults

Christopher Noah Griddine II being held on $1 million bond

By Sam Catanzaro

A 27-year-old man has been arrested for the felony sexual assaults of female Santa Monica College (SMC) students.

According to SMC Chief of Police Johnnie Adams in a statement to SMC student newspaper the Corsair, on Monday around 8:20 a.m., Christopher Noah Griddine II, age 27, was taken into custody on a probable cause arrest warrant for felony sexual assault.

The arrest was made on the SMC campus at 1900 Pico Boulevard by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department with the assistance of the Santa Monica College Police.

According to Adams, Griddine was transported to South Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station with a bail of $1,000,000.

The arrest come after a Friday afternoon crime alert was sent out to SMC students and faculty warning them about the suspect, later identified as Griddine. According to the alert, the suspect has been befriending female students around a collection of

outdoor tables south of Drescher Hall.

“Once the subject befriends the victim he then lures the victim off campus with the pretense of ‘hanging out.’ The subject then sexually assaults the victim,” reads the alert said.

Officials have not said how many incidents Griddine is believed to be responsible for.

This remains an active investigation being conducted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department. Anyone with information relating to the case is encouraged to call Sergeant Belen Lemus of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau at (562) 946-7012 .

Food for Thought: Santa Monica Brew Works’ Milkshake Beers Are ‘Udderly’ Good

Brewery teams up with Johnny Rockets to make a Strawberry Milkshake Porter and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake Porter

By Sam Catanzaro

National Milkshake Month may be coming to a close, but that does not mean it’s time to stop drinking milkshakes or two new milkshake beers from Santa Monica Brew Works. Part of a collaboration with Johnny Rockets, the result is two uniquely-flavored beers that taste better than they have any right tasting.

The beers made their debut on September 12 and come in two flavors: Strawberry Milkshake Porter and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake Porter. While these combinations of flavors may seem a bit odd, they work.

“These brews are creamy, dreamy, and delightfully decadent. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake Porter provides a sweet nutty taste with a silky-smooth finish, while the Strawberry Milkshake Porter has a ripe and juicy strawberry profile with Madagascar Vanilla added for a velvety sweetness,” reads

a description of the beers from Santa Monica Brew Works.

After trying these beers, I can attest that this description is accurate. The strawberry porter tasted like a milkshake but is light and refreshing, a perfect daytime libation. The chocolate peanut butter beer was heavier, but not overbearing, and is more akin to a carbonated iced mocha. I am not a giant milkshake fan and I am most certainly not a fan of porters, but somehow both of these

beers were enjoyable for me.

One can enjoy these two beers on draft and in 19.2 oz cans to go, only while supplies last. For more information and to order the beer for pickup, visit https://direct.me/ santamonicabrewworks. Santa Monica Brew Works is located at 1920 Colorado Avenue, Suite C in Santa Monica. The taproom is open seven days a week, from 5-10:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 5-11:30 Fridays, 12-10 p.m. Saturdays and 12-9 Sundays.

Fresh Corn Grill Closes Santa Monica Location

Restaurant ceases operations September 23

By Dolores Quintana

Fresh Corn Grill, a small chain based in Westwood that serves “a unique take on California cuisine” as stated on their website, has closed their Santa Monica location as of September 23 as reported by Toddrickallen.com.

Their original location in Westwood and second location in West Hollywood remain open. According to Toddrickallen.com, the company is undergoing a restructuring which necessitates the closure of the location at 720 Wilshire, which opened just over two years ago in the space that used to

be home to Baja Fresh.

Renderings Released for Santa Monica Library-Adjacent Affordable Housing

38 units planned to at 1333 7th Street

By Dolores Quintana

The Foundation For Affordable Housing has proposed a new affordable housing project to The Santa Monica Architectural Review Board for the property at 1333 7th Street as reported by Urbanize Los Angeles.

The site is a former dental office close to the Santa Monica Public Library on a single parcel of land. The structure would rise to eight stories and hold 38 affordable housing units that would sit above a community room with 1,000 square feet of space. The housing units would be split between one- and two-

bedroom apartments ranging between 568 and 962 square feet.

The Architectural Review Board’s staff report says, “The contemporary design is highlighted by a series of angled planes along the front façade that provides movement and visual interest, while the building form and setbacks have been strategically configured to provide natural light and ventilation throughout the structure.” and Patrick Tighe Architecture is the designer of record. The exterior of the building would be made of concrete, metal panels and smooth stucco. According to Urbanize Los Angeles, the renderings of the project reveal that the project would come with a rooftop amenity deck that allows views of the western side of the building and 7th Street.

City Council Endorsements

SMa.r.t.

The November elections are nearly upon us. The social and mass-media onslaught of paid (and paying) interests has begun. And along with them, the solemn pronouncements of candidates for City Council and supporters of legislative and bond measures that will directly affect most Santa Monicans.

For the past nine years this group’s writings have focused on concerns regarding the city’s direction. As professionals who work and live in Santa Monica, we have tried to stress common-sense, pragmatic solutions to issues that affect most present and future members of this community. We have worked to bring attention to on-going problems in our city, and offer concrete answers that are based not on ideologies, political doctrines, or unproven theories but on facts that exist in the realitybased world in which most Santa Monica residents actually live. It is not necessary to be ideological to be an idealist.

Viewed through this lens, two candidates for City Council stand above the rest in their promise to set the city on a bright and sustainable path. None of them are perfect human beings. Like all of us, their past may contain events they may wish turned

out differently. But all of them have the history, expertise and generosity of spirit and commitment to guide the city during the challenging times that lay ahead.

Lana Negrete is the very model of a homegrown renter, small business owner and entrepreneur. Ms. Negrete, appointed a year ago to a vacant City Council seat, was born and raised in Santa Monica, has long owned a widely-admired local small business, and has experienced the benefits and challenges of a resident who is committed to supporting local schools, preserving neighborhoods, solving the homelessness crisis and increasing public safety.

A strong supporter–and beneficiary–of rent control in Santa Monica, she is the founder of the nonprofit Outreach Through the Arts, which provides music education to young folks. Her work on the City Council’s Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness has demonstrated an ability to work cooperatively with other members of City Council and outside agencies on an issue that has been stubbornly resistant to solutions in the past. Her effort to have the city create a map that analyzes where moneys are spent, and identify the recipients of services (as well as gaps in those services) are, we believe, exactly the kind of responsible, common-sense actions that have long been absent in the city. Ms. Negrete’s successful, independent tenure on City Council in her first partial term deserves to be renewed and extended into a full next term.

Armen Melkonians, a civil and environmental

engineer, is a former member of SMa.r.t. In his work, Mr. Melkonians’ problem-solving approach is highly focused, with an engineer’s attention to detail. He is deeply familiar with the way that cities (and Santa Monica in particular) use rules to help approve or block projects, and is expert at navigating the complex pathways that lead to successful projects.

While he enjoys a deep knowledge of the way our city works, he’s not a political insider surfing the city’s glad-handing ideological waters. His intent is to fix real-life issues that affect the daily lives of folks living in the city, and he brings a pragmatist’s approach to solving deeply vexing problems. In 2014 he founded a grassroots organization named Residocracy, and then led a successful referendum against the massive 765,00 square-foot Bergamot Transit Village project that caused City Council to reverse its previous approval of that project.

Today, Armen’s focus is on reducing crime and homelessness on our city’s streets. He believes that City Hall has become complacent in the effort to solve issues of homelessness, providing enormous sums to service providers without proper accountability. His plan to create a transparent system that sets realistic goals and milestones and then tracks results with transparency and care, dovecotes neatly with Lana Negrete’s effort to map the city’s expenditures and track the recipients of the city’s efforts. He believes–and we agree–that Santa Monica cannot solve this issue alone, and that accessing County resources for sorely-needed mental health treatment, drug rehabilitation, and permanent housing is essential to help victims of homelessness, and the city as a whole.

IN LA

Police staffing levels, he says, haven’t changed in the past 20 years. Mr. Melkonians wants to increase police staffing in line with the enormous increase in visitors. His plan seeks to adopt a “no call is too small” policy with

emergency response, and to provide dedicated patrols in all of Santa Monica’s business districts and residential neighborhoods to help deter criminal activity and reduce response times.

Armen’s approach to problem-solving, his engineering background, his unwillingness to bow to political ideologues of all stripes, and his past history in successfully organizing residents to resist abuses by corporate developers make him a City Council candidate uniquely suited for these times.

City Council desperately needs a diversity of skills, background and experience. As City Council candidates, Lana Negrete and Armen Melkonians bring ideas and abilities that have been in short supply among the city’s leadership in past years. Lana has had a very successful, independent partial first term. Armen will help provide expertise, organization, focus and attention to local concerns. We strongly endorse their candidacies for City Council.
