High-Speed Havoc Strikes Malibu: Hit-andRun Crash at PCH Again Raises Safety Concerns Near Big Rock Drive See Page 7

Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows Breaks the Ice: Agrees to Tentative Deal with UNITE HERE Local 11 After Six-Months 25th Southern California Hotel Seals Tentative Agreement By Dolores Quintana Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, after six months marked by strikes and picket lines, has become the latest Southern California hotel to sign a tentative agreement with UNITE HERE Local 11. This development brings the total number of hotels in Southern California that have entered into tentative agreements with the union to 25. Liliana Hernandez, a Fairmont Miramar worker, and a housekeeper at the hotel for eleven years, expressed excitement and pride regarding the agreement, stating, “The last six months were challenging for us, but I am so grateful that the whole union stood behind me and my coworkers, and I’m proud of the leadership and solidarity. We hope other Santa Monica hotels follow the example of the Fairmont. Sí se puede.” Upon ratification of the contract, Fairmont Miramar workers will benefit from the standards achieved in prior tentative agreements, including unprecedented wage

increases aligned with the rising cost of housing, affordable and comprehensive family healthcare, humane workloads with safe staffing levels, improved pension increases to support dignified retirement, and language enhancements such as Equal Justice provisions that facilitate access to union jobs for formerly incarcerated individuals and unprecedented protections for immigrant workers.

UNITE HERE Local 11 co-president Kurt Petersen commended Fairmont Miramar for signing this historic agreement, emphasizing, “This victory once again demonstrates our members’ indomitable spirit and sends an unambiguous message to the remaining hotels that we will not stop fighting until we have won a living wage at all hotels.” However, hotels operated by Aimbridge

Hospitality, including the Hilton Pasadena, Blackstone-owned Aloft and Fairfield El Segundo, and Ensemble-operated Hotel Maya and Hyatt Place Pasadena, have yet to meet the new hotel contract standard. Notably, workers at the Hilton Pasadena and Hyatt Place Pasadena staged a walkout on the eve of the Rose Parade.

Property Owner Arrested in Suspected Homicide of Tenant

The Suspect Attempted to Make the Resident Vacate the Property By Zach Armstrong

A Santa Monica resident and landlord was arrested after a suspected New Year’s Day killing of one of his tenants. On Jan. 1, deputies from the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office and San Bernardino County Fire arrived at the 55800 block of Montara Road in response

to a medical aid request. Once there, they found 54-year-old William Durst and an unresponsive Jeffrey Cull, a 71-year-old man who lived at the property, who was later pronounced dead. Durst, who owned the property, was arrested and booked for murder at the Morongo Basin jail. A homicide investigation found Durst arrived in an attempt to force Cull to vacate the property. An argument ensued after Cull refused to leave, resulting in Durst spraying the resident with bear spray and placing him in a chokehold. Cull succumbed and lost consciousness. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Shawn Thurman, Specialized Investigations

According to a report from What Now Los Angeles, renowned Chef Dave Beran is set to unveil a new, as-yet-unnamed project in Santa Monica by the summer’s end. Describing it as the tasting restaurant he’s long envisioned, Beran told the outlet he aims to evolve from the concepts explored at his previous venture, Dialogue, an 18seat Michelin-starred establishment that closed in 2020. The upcoming restaurant is reportedly set to feature approximately 12 to 15 courses, extending over two-and-a-half to three

hours. The new restaurant will eliminate the conventional server role. Instead, the chefs themselves will personally present each dish to patrons, according to What Now.

Bee Sanctuary Created with SMMUSD Learning Project This unique TK collaborative class is the first of its kind in SMMUSD Franklin Elementary School’s Collaborative Transitional Kindergarten Class at Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) is generating excitement with their recent project-based learning project titled “What’s the Buzz About Bees?” Led by TK teacher Danielle Eden and early childhood special education teacher Nell Canon, this Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics(STEAM) enhanced initiative takes a creative approach to early childhood education. “It all started with this beehive plush counting toy in our classroom that our students were obsessed with,” said Eden. “Students would even play a game at recess where they would run around the playground and pretend to be bees and sting each other and make honey.” The TK program, guided by students’ interests, features a STEAM-enhanced and Reggio-inspired curriculum. The students immersed themselves in various

activities, from reading books about bees to creating 3D models of bees and exploring honeycomb shapes with hexagons. The project concluded with the creation of a bee sanctuary, featuring recycled school lunch milk cartons filled with nesting tubes, “bee hotels,” bee baths, and lavender and rosemary plants. This unique TK collaborative class is the first of its kind in SMMUSD, exemplifying the school and district’s commitment to inclusivity and innovative learning. The TK students will play a future role of beekeepers by watering the plants, changing out the bee bath water and checking on nesting tubes. “The sanctuary is in the TK/Kindergarten yard for all students to observe,” said Eden. “I am sure it will be ‘buzzing’ come spring when more bees are out.”

Under Pilot Program, Specialists Will Assist SMPD on Mental Health Crises The City Says These Dedicated Teams Will Ultimately Have Authority to Independently Handle Service Calls By Zach Armstrong While responding to mental health emergencies, SMPD and Fire personnel will now have the assistance of behavioral health specialists under a new pilot program which launched earlier this month. The program, in partnership with the L.A. Department of Mental Health, is part of an effort the City describes as a way to provide a “coordinated, holistic approach” to addressing homelessness. Additionally, the project aims to enhance assistance to individuals such as teenagers with suicidal

thoughts or seniors experiencing dementia. First responders will have access to a specialized therapeutic transport team five days a week under the project while undergoing team training and integration. Those teams, consisting of a peer support specialist and a clinical social worker, can perform multiple functions such as psychiatric transportation to facilities or imposing psychiatric hospitalizations for a person deemed a threat. With the goal of creating more tailored behavioral health responses and giving first responders more time to focus on emergency situations, the City says these dedicated teams will ultimately have authority to independently handle service calls. The program also seeks to expand citywide with 24/7 service after initially focusing on downtown. “Santa Monica’s therapeutic transport program launching this week demonstrates the power of Measure H and Los Angeles County’s emergency declaration for homelessness — a declaration also made by the city of Santa Monica, which has long championed local investments to address homelessness,” said Chair of the Board of Supervisors Lindsey P. Horvath, Third District, in a statement. “Homelessness will best be solved by scaling solutions just

like this one that meet people where they are with care and support from the county’s Department of Mental Health.” Over $2 million in public funding ($464K from SM City Council to fund the program and $1.7M from L.A. County for

staffing resources) was infused to create the initiative. Santa Monica is now the third jurisdiction in L.A. County to partner with DMH for new approaches on mental health responses.

High-Speed Havoc Strikes Malibu: Hit-andRun Crash at PCH Again Raises Safety Concerns Near Big Rock Drive Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Investigates as Suspect’s Speed Exceeds 100 MPH By Dolores Quintana The City of Malibu witnessed yet another significant high-speed traffic collision on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) involving four vehicles near Big Rock Drive on Thursday, Jan. 4, in another unfortunate incident. As per the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, speed played a role

in the incident. The suspected driver was believed to have exceeded 100 MPH and fled the scene on foot post-collision. Numerous individuals reported minor to moderate injuries, but thankfully, there were no fatalities. The City of Malibu extends its good wishes for a speedy and complete recovery to those affected. This is not the only serious accident on PCH in the last month; tragically, on the evening of December 24, 2023, a motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a passenger car on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) south of Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu. Despite PCH being a state highway under Caltrans jurisdiction, the City remains dedicated to enhancing safety conditions on PCH within its jurisdictional capacity, collaborating with law enforcement and county, and State partner agencies.

Residents or witnesses possessing security camera footage of the collision are

encouraged to reach out to the Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station at (818) 878-1808.

OPINION

A School District Conundrum SMa.r.t. Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow

As most of you who drive on 4th or Pico Avenue or use the 4th Street freeway onramp know, the whole Santa Monica High School campus has been a construction zone for almost a decade. During that time half a dozen structures have been destroyed, including the prized History Building, while a whole new fleet of very expensive buildings have been erected. We are now hopefully reaching the end of this unnecessary demolition derby. The reason it has been mostly unnecessary is that the City and School District’s student population has been steadily declining. In 2014, the district had about 11,300 students, while today, it has about 8,600. This is a huge drop, almost 1/4 of the enrollment, in 9 years. There are many reasons for this decline, but it is not unique to Santa Monica. Overall, the State of California, the County of Los Angeles, and the City of Santa Monica have all lost significant population over the last few years. Starting with the excess deaths from Covid, the high cost of land, construction, housing, and living, the relatively new ability to work remotely, the declining immigration, household formation, and birth rates, coupled with crime and

Affordable In-Home Care For All Ages

homelessness, and finally, the high-interest rates are keeping new families from buying housing. All these trends have taken the real population pressure (except homelessness) off both the State and our City. Specifically, our school district suffers from all these same adverse enrollment trends but has the additional shrinking problem caused by the district’s upcoming divorce from Malibu, which is a relatively small (10% of Santa Monica) but wealthy city. However, the real problem the District faces, unless your income is over six figures, is that it’s becoming increasingly impossible to raise a family in our City. The School District (SMMUSD) is not to blame for the declining enrollment; it is still rated as an excellent school district. However, the City and Sacramento are to blame for the lack of 2 and 3-bedroom homes, apartments, or condos in Santa Monica because City Codes and State laws have failed to mandate the kind of housing needed for families. In addition, there has been a complete failure to mandate and fund the affordable version of such family-friendly housing. For example, of the approximately 520 new units approved for the huge Gelson’s project (at Lincoln and Ocean Park), there are only about 160 two-bedroom units, and only a pitiful 12 of those are affordable two-bedroom units. Naturally, there are no three-bedroom apartments in that huge project because it’s much more profitable for owners to rent out three one-bedroom apartments or studios than to rent out one three-bedroom apartment, which occupies about the same footprint. In fact, where City codes require or encourage 3-bedroom apartments, developers often cleverly design the supposed 3-bedroom unit but with three separate exterior doors so they can be rented out as three one-bedroom or studio apartments. Finally, the housing projects

that will be built (9000 are supposed to be built in the next eight years) will continue to be deficient in child-usable open space in our already park deficient City because, again, the City prioritizes profits over families. The City and State’s failure to mandate more (or subsidize affordably) 2 and 3-bedroom units means the School District will continue to lose enrollment as the built environment is relentlessly overbuilt for the supposed invasion of high-paying gig workers and or rich seniors who allegedly only want to live in studio and onebedroom micro units. Nonetheless, while multi-bedroom units can equally well serve university students’ multigenerational and melded families, they are absolutely necessary for families with children ages 1-18, who would stabilize our fading school district. In the meantime, the shrinking School District has been increasing the ratio of out-of-district students to artificially increase its enrollment. These students, whose families do not pay property taxes

supporting SMMUSD’s budget, artificially buttress our School District’s enrollment. Meanwhile, Santa Monica residents and businesses pay usurious property taxes and billions of dollars plus in bonds to fund an out-of-control and unnecessary building binge like the one we see at Santa Monica High School, among other campuses. As bond taxes increase, they are passed on to all, directly or indirectly, to owners and renters alike, making the City less affordable for all. SMMUSD, instead of trying to live within its means, increasingly aspires to amp up its building binge on steroids, even delusionally considering taking over the historic Civic Center Auditorium for a volleyball court and wrestling facility: as if that were the real facility shortage at the high school? That building binge, which has now demolished and rebuilt virtually every building on the high school campus (except the Barnum Auditorium, which is only protected because it is already landmarked), leaves only the English Building, the last original building left on campus. If the district wants to pass another bond this year, it will have to be much more credible as to why it wants to continue massively (already over a billion dollars) increasing the public bond debt for a shrinking population of students. It needs to show how each dollar extracted will provide real long-term benefits and sustainability for all residents and not just shiny new buildings to attract out-of-district students.

Santa Monica Seeks Developer for Civic Revitalization The City Is Interested In Entities With a History of Renovating Historic Structures By Zach Armstrong The city of Santa Monica is searching for a person or entity up to the task of turning the Civic Auditorium back into a hotspot for entertainment, arts and culture. Once selected, the party would renovate, reopen, program and manage the property while leasing the site. According to a post from the city, ideal candidates have a track record of renovating historic sites, programming cultural art events, financial

solvency for development and are open to community input. Bringing the Civic back to life as a vibrant center of the arts would be a return to its long and storied tradition. Built in 1958, the venue has hosted a series of live performances from cultural legends such as George Carlin, Frank Sinatra and David Bowie. In 2022, City Council classified the auditorium as surplus land. In November, a month after SMMUSD said it wouldn’t submit a revitalization proposal so other alternatives could be considered, the California Housing and Community Development Department certified the city’s compliance. This allowed Santa Monica to flirt with proposals from any interested party. Prospective vendors are required to register by Jan. 31.

Mother & Daughter Team Up to Launch Column: We are thankful for…. Clothing SMa.r.t.Line Tailored For Small Women Santa Monica Architects for a Responsible Tomorrow

SMa.r.t. would like to wish you all a great Thanksgiving with friends and family and also to thank its readers for their loyalty this year. We all have much to be thankful for. Specifically, we are thankful for, among other things: The steadfast commitment of colleagues who’ve stood by our side through every challenge. Ron Goldman, a dearly departed colleague, graced us with his sharp humor and unwavering dedication to humanity, enriching our group week after week. The privilege to openly share our thoughts and ideas without the looming threat to our safety is a luxury not afforded to many worldwide.
