Report: Riverside County's unfunded pension gap close to $4 billion

By City News Service

The Board of Supervisors signed off on a report Tuesday showing that the Riverside County government's unfunded pension liabilities are now close to $4 billion, up more than a halfbillion dollars in the last two years, though projections are for the pension gap to narrow over the coming decade.

According to the 2025 Pension Advisory Review Committee report, the county's retirement apparatus is now 75% funded, compared to 75.3% previously. The key metric reflective of a sound pension system is considered 80% funded status.

The county's total unfunded pension gap is $3.94 billion, compared to $3.67 billion estimated in the 2024 report, PARC officials said. The figures are based on calculations ending in fiscal year 2022-23 — the most recent period for which confirmed data is available via the California Public Employees' Retirement System.

"Based upon several factors, the long-term pension outlook remains favorable, with increases projected to peak early in the next decade," the report

stated. "The funded status is anticipated to be more than 80% within ten years, which has suffered a setback due to the negative investment returns experienced in fiscal year 2021-22. Projections will be tempered by year-to- year financial market performance."

The county's current asset base supporting the pension system is $11.82 billion. The "actuarial accrued liability" is $15.76 billion.

"You're never going to meet the minimum standard," Roy Bleckert of Moreno Valley told the board. "No matter how hard you

try to pedal that bicycle, the expenses just keep outpacing income. We've been hearing for decades about how you're moving money. But it's like trying to grab the last deck chair on the Titanic before it slips underwater. You never get to the point where you're above water."

There are two main categories in the local pension system — safety and miscellaneous. The safety category covers sheriff's deputies, District Attorney's Office investigators,probation agents and others, while the

miscellaneous rolls cover clerks, custodians, nurses, social workers, technicians and remaining employees not involved in any law enforcement function.

The amounts available to fund workers' nest eggs in CalPERS fluctuate with the pension system's investment performance. The most recent estimate tentatively showed a 9.3% rate of return for last year. The assumed rate of return going forward is 6.8%. In 2021-22, the investment portfolio ran a negative 6% return.

TDiscretionary revenue rising, but higher costs on horizon, says county CEO

By City News Service

he Board of Supervisors on Tuesday made several budget adjustments based on a Riverside County Executive Office report indicating that, at the halfway point for the 2024-25 fiscal year, reserves are growing above previously estimated levels despite "escalating costs" weighing on the economy and the balance sheet of county government.

The 35-page midyear budget report showed a 3% increase in discretionary revenue compared to what Executive Office staff earlier predicted would be available by this juncture.

The county's reserve pool is now projected to reach $731 million, rather than $720 million, in the current fiscal year,

Riverside County sheriff speaks in favor of 'sanctuary city' overhaul bill

By City News Service

Calling it essential for public safety, the state Senate minority leader and other advocates, including Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, unveiled a proposed overhaul of California's "sanctuary state" law Friday.

Speaking at a news conference in downtown San Diego, Sen. Brian Jones, R-San Diego, said Senate Bill 554 would do two things — protect the public from "violent, felony criminal illegal immigrants," and mandate cooperation by local authorities in cases involving specific violent crimes.

Jones' proposal is a response to state Senate Bill 54, passed in 2017, which limits local and state law enforcement agencies' involvement in federal immigration enforcement.

Riverside High School to represent county in statewide mock trials contest

Poly High School of Riverside will represent Riverside County in the California Mock Trial Competition next month after prevailing in the countylevel contest for the 21st time.

Poly High topped Riverside's Notre Dame High on Feb. 18 to take the championship title in the 43rd annual Riverside County Mock Trial Competition.

The Poly High team will go on to the state meet, slated for March 14-16 in Los Angeles.

"Congratulations to the student competitors ... who all have a very bright future ahead of them — whether that is in the legal field, in higher education, or in their professional pursuits," county Superintendent of Schools Edwin Gomez said. "I look forward to seeing Poly High School once again represent Riverside County at the state competition."

Notre Dame High was awarded the second place trophy, while Murrieta Valley High and Temecula High shared third prize after the semifinal and final rounds

concluded on Tuesday.

The Office of Education, in partnership with the Constitutional Rights Foundation, Riverside County Bar Association and the Superior Court, sponsor the competitions annually. They generally draw more than 400 participants. The county began holding student-level mock trials in 1983. More than 14,000 youths have participated since then, organizers said.

This year's contest challenged students to successfully argue the fictitious case of People v. Gold, involving an alleged kidnapping amid a heated

local political race in the make-believe community of Emerald Bend, California.

The defendant, Logan Gold, was accused of abducting his wife's rival candidate in a city council election to prevent the victim from appearing for a scheduled debate.

Students were tasked with analyzing forensic evidence, admissibility of statements, possible due process infringements and other matters during the trials.

Teams consisting of eight to 25 students played the parts of deputy district attorneys, defense attorneys, bailiffs, witnesses,

clerks and investigators. Contestants were given an allotted time, generally four to six minutes, at each stage of a proceeding, including opening statements, closing arguments and cross-examinations.

Practicing attorneys and judges assessed students' performance, awarding points in accordance with criteria established for the contest.

Students from public and private high schools are permitted to take part.

Poly High also won the county's 2024 contest. Its teams consistently make it into the semifinals.

Hazardous hiking areas open in Riverside County

Sixhazardoushiking areas were open Monday following approval from the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, according to county Fire Chief Bill Weiser.

Recent rainfall has created a decreased wildfire risk and improved moisture levels resulting in more favorable conditions to open hiking areas.

The six areas are:

-- Eagle Canyon/Tin Mine (east of Corona)

-- Steel Peak (north of Lake Elsinore)

-- Bautista Canyon (southeast of Hemet)

-- North Mountain (south of Banning, north of San Jacinto)

-- Whitewater Canyon (east of Cabazon)

-- Ramona Bowl (south of Hemet)

"It's great to welcome visitors back to Riverside County's beautiful outdoor

spaces with unrestricted access. However, we remind everyone to remain cautious and fire-aware while enjoying these areas," said Weiser, who is also the Cal Fire Riverside Unit Chief.

Weather conditions, fuel

moisture and increased fire threat could lead to future closures.

For additional information on closed areas, contact the Public Affairs and Community Education Bureau at 951-9406985.

'Conclave' wins best movie cast at SAG Awards; 'Shogun' takes 4 TV trophies

" Conclave" and "Shogun" are the big winners at the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards taking home top honors at the prestigious Hollywood event.

The papal thriller "Conclave" captured the glamour award for Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at Sunday's SAG Awards — while "Shogun," the FX drama set in 17th century Japan, won four trophies out of its leading five nominations, including Ensemble in a Drama Series, to dominate the television categories.

The SAG Awards — the final undercard event of the Hollywood awards season before next week's Academy Awards, and a historically strong predictor of success on Oscar night — also delivered "Actor" trophies to Timothée Chalamet for Male Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture for his role in the Bob Dylan biopic "A Complete Unknown," and to Demi Moore for Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture for her star turn in the often startling horror-drama "The Substance."

The award for cast performance is the SAG Awards' equivalent of the Oscars' Best Picture.

Supporting actor awards in the movie categories Sunday went to Kieran Culkin for "A Real Pain" and Zoe Saldaña for "Emilia Pérez."

Meanwhile, "Wicked," an adaptation of the Broadway musical based on the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz," brought a leading five movie nominations into the evening — but was shut out.

"Conclave," which details the intrigue of papal succession amid the secretive machinations of the Vatican, was a surprise winner in the best cast category — besting "Wicked"; "A Complete Unknown"; "Anora," a comedy- drama about a sex worker who marries a Russian oligarch; and "Emila

Pérez," a gender-bending crime musical about a drug cartel leader who hires a lawyer to help fake her death so she can transition to a woman.

"Conclave" was coming off a Best Picture win at last week's BAFTA Awards, and could have momentum going into next Sunday's Academy Awards, to which it brings eight nominations, including Best Picture.

Moore, 62, was again an awards-show storyline on Sunday, continuing her comeback with her best actress win following her victory in that category at the Golden Globes. She's also nominated for an Oscar next week for her role as a fading actress who discovers a black-market drug that restores youth — with all manner of unexpected side-effects both physical and emotional.

"This is extraordinary and so deeply meaningful," Moore said during an emotional acceptance speech in which she recalled her career start in 1978 as "a kid on my own who had no blueprint for life."

Then, addressing her fellow actors in the audience, she added, "I knew nothing about acting, but I watched and I listened and I learned from all of you. You have all been my greatest teachers. I am so grateful that I have contin-

ued over these so many years to be able to try and sometimes succeed and sometimes fail and to be able to keep going."

Moore's competition Sunday was Pamela Anderson in "The Last Showgirl," Cynthia Erivo in "Wicked," Mikey Madison in "Anora" and Karla Sofía Gascón in "Emilia Pérez." All but Anderson are also nominated for Best Actress Oscars.

Gascón's loss Sunday was not unexpected, as it came in the wake of a scandal in which old social-media posts surfaced in which she denigrated Islam and George Floyd, among other objectionable comments.

Gascón has since apologized for the now-deleted posts, but the scandal is widely believed to have torpedoed her chances for award-season recognition. Her Best Actress nomination is one of a record 13 that "Emila Pérez" will bring to the Oscars.

Chalamet, playing the young Dylan in "A Complete Unknown," became, at age 29, the youngest actor to capture a SAG best actor award — beating Nicholas Cage, who was 32 when he won for "Leaving Las Vegas" in 1996.

Chalamet is also up for an Oscar next week and could also become the youngest Academy Award-

winning best actor — a title now held by Adrien Brody, who will compete with Chalamet next week as a nominee for "The Brutalist."

"I was not expecting this at all," Chalamet said during his Sunday acceptance. "I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist, Mr. Bob Dylan, a true American hero, and it was the honor of a lifetime playing him."

On the TV side Sunday, "Shogun," besides winning for TV drama ensemble, brought wins to Hiroyuki Sanada for Male Actor in a Drama Series; Anna Sawai for Female Actor in a Drama Series; and Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series.

"Only Murders in the Building," long a bridesmaid during awards shows, took

the award for Ensemble in a Comedy Series, while one of its co-stars Martin Short won for Male Actor in a Comedy Series — making "Only Murders ..." the only other multiple winner of the night.

Jane Fonda, 87, received the SAG Life Achievement Award on Sunday and drew a lengthy standing ovation. She noted that "I'm not done," and quipped "probably in my 90s I'll be doing my own stunts in an action movie."

But then she turned serious in commenting on the current U.S. political situation, urging activism and saying, "A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening, what is coming our way."

"Even if they're of a

different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy and not judge, but listen from our hearts and welcome them into our tent, because we are going to need a big tent to resist, successfully, what's coming at us," said the longtime activist.

Kristen Bell, herself a nominee Sunday (she lost out to Jean Smart of "Hacks" for Female Actor in a Comedy Series) hosted the ceremonies, which were at the Shrine Auditorium and were streamed live on Netflix.

During her opening monologue, Bell noted a group of Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters sitting at a front table in the Shrine ballroom and said, "The most attractive table, I need to point out, is right over there" — gesturing toward the uniformed firefighters who battled the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

The SAGs are considered the most cherished Hollywood honors among performers because they are voted upon exclusively by other actors. Actors also make up the majority of Oscar voters.

In all, 15 regular awards were given out Sunday night — six in movie categories and nine in television — along with Fonda's Life Achievement Award.

A complete list of winners is online at sagaftra. org.

CLASSIFIEDS

Meryl (A520243)

Meryl is the kind of dog who steals hearts wherever she goes. At seven years old, this gentle pit bull mix has mastered the perfect balance of sweet affection and easygoing charm. On a recent outing with Pasadena Humane’s Wiggle Waggle Wagon, she greeted every passerby with a wagging tail and a hopeful gaze, soaking up all the attention she could get. Of course, she loved all pets and cuddles, too! One of Meryl’s favorite things in the world is making new friends—both human and canine. She quickly bonded with another dog during a recent outing, and the two became inseparable for the day, happily walking side by side and enjoying each other's company. Meryl might thrive in a home with another friendly, medium-sized dog who can be her buddy. She has a wonderful, adaptable energy—excited for walks and new adventures but just as content to stretch out on the grass and relax. Meryl already knows some basic commands, like "sit," and takes treats gently, proving she’s not just loving but well-mannered too. She’s the kind of dog who will make a house feel like a home, bringing warmth, companionship, and a little bit of fun. If you're looking for a devoted and affectionate pup who will always be by your side, Meryl is ready to be your new best friend.

Tyrone (A519310)

Tyrone is a handsome 3-year-old pit bull mix with a heart as big as his smile! This affectionate and playful guy is as sweet as they come.

He knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “shake,” and he takes treats ever so gently. Tyrone is also a social butterfly! He loves meeting new people—men, women, and kids alike—and always greets them with a wagging tail and a friendly demeanor. At a recent event, he spent time with a 12-year-old boy, soaking up all the attention and even attempting to sneak in a kiss! He’s working on his leash manners, though he might get excited if something catches his eye. With a little continued training, he’ll be an excellent adventure companion. While Tyrone enjoys his playtime, he also has a wonderfully calm and snuggly side. Throughout a full day of meeting people and exploring new places, he remained relaxed, never barking even when other dogs were vocal. He’s eager to please, incredibly gentle, and has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving, and affectionate companion, Tyrone just might be your perfect match!

The adoption fee for dogs is $150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines. Walk-in adoptions are available every day from 2:00 – 5:00.

Crash course: Which car brands are more likely to be involved driving mishaps?

By Cassidy Grom, Spokeo via Stacker

Cars are such an indelible part of society that they've engendered a few stereotypes: the driver of that Chrysler Pacifica minivan inching along in the right lane is probably a soccer mom, and the driver of the Tesla Model 3 speeding past might be a tech bro with enough disposable income for a home charging port. But how accurate are these assumptions?

Since the introduction of Ford's first Model T, companies have competed for consumer pocketbooks with new designs, features and colors. In turn, buyers have used these vehicles as status symbols and a way to display their personalities on the road. For better or for worse, society has attached attributes to drivers of various makes and models.

According to insurance data, a few of these stereotypes bear out. Some car models tend to attract the worst — or most reckless — drivers. Spokeo examined incident rates across 30 popular car brands using data from loan marketplace LendingTree from November 2022 to November 2023. The LendingTree report used insurance data to identify which cars were involved in the most accidents, DUI incidents, speeding incidents and citations.

Based on the data, Ram has the riskiest drivers — they racked up more speeding incidents than all other brands, with 32.9 incidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram drivers were also the second-most likely to be involved in an accident or a DUI and came in fifth in the citation category.

Their need for speed may have attracted those drivers to the Ram brand in the first place; J.D. Power lists the Ram 1500 as among the fastest pickup trucks on the market, able to go from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 7.4 seconds.

Not far behind Ram, Tesla drivers landed in second

place, with more than 30 incidents per 1,000 drivers and the highest number of accidents — 23.54 per 1,000 drivers — during the study's period. LendingTree published its report before Tesla's voluntary recall, which aimed to update the Autosteer feature in several models.

After Tesla drivers, Ram and Subaru were the only other brands with accident rates higher than 20 per 1,000. The safest drivers, those with the lowest likelihood of an incident occurring, operated Pontiacs, Mercurys and Saturns, according to the report.

Some car owners take more risks Subaru came in third in driving incidents and led the way as the brand with the most incidents overall in four states: California, Minnesota, Missouri and Montana.

Nationwide, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Mazda drivers also placed in the top five when counting driving incidents per 1,000 drivers, despite appearing in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's list of best vehicles for safety in 2024. However, when one zooms into the category of driving under the influence, BMW significantly outpaces other brands. BMW drivers received DUIs at a rate of 3.13 per 1,000, while Ram drivers, who came in second in the DUI category, had a rate of almost half that at 1.72, according to LendingTree.

Though the vast majority of all car accidents do not lead to fatalities, in the first nine months of 2024, about 29,000 people died in car accidents in the U.S. That's down 4.4% from the same period in 2023, according to the Department of Transportation.

Several factors impact a driver's chances of being in a crash, including gender, age, driving experience, and, of course, the vehicle — and insurance companies are paying attention to that data.

In a company blog post, LendingTree noted that insurance companies look at a particular model's crash rate to help determine how risky it would be to insure. However, DUIs, tickets and accidents on a driver's record typically may hold more weight — and they could all lead to higher car insurance rates.

So whether you are eyeing a trusty Mercury or Pontiac, ranked among the least-risky brands surveyed, or the new 2025 Ram truck, safe driving habits can make all the difference.

Ex-VP Harris urges 'vigilance' while accepting NAACP award

By City News Service

Former Vice President Kamala Harris

used her first major televised appearance since leaving office — accepting the Chairman's Award during the 56th NAACP Image Awards — to urge vigilance as the man who ended her bid for president in November continues revamping the U.S. government.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," Harris told the audience during Saturday's ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium."While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter of our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office — nor by the wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, written by us — by We the People."

Harris, who was greeted with a standing ovation, was

frequently interrupted by applause during her roughly 41/2 minute acceptance speech.

"This organization came into being at a moment when our country struggled with greed, bitterness and hatred. And those who forged the NAACP, those who carried its legacy forward, had no illusions about the forces they were up against — no illusions about how stony the road would be. But some look at this moment and rightly feel the weight of history. Some see the ... the shadows gathering over our democracy, and ask, ‘What do we do now?' But we know exactly what to do, because we have done it before, and we will do it again."

The ceremony also put a spotlight on the firedevastated, historically black Altadena community during a presentation by actor Morris Chestnut.

"Homes were lost, stores destroyed, countless lives shattered and over two dozen souls gone forever," Chestnut said, surrounded by 22 Altadena residents who lost their homes in January's wildfires. "What was not lost is the spirit of our community and our resilience, especially that of our brothers and sisters who live just a short distance from here in Altadena. It is in times like these that we show the world our strength."

Apart from the special presentations, the Netflix film "The Six Triple Eight," which tells the story of an all-Black, all-female battalion during World War II, emerged as one of the night's big winners, taking home five awards, including Outstanding Motion Picture.

The Image Awards, hosted this year by actorcomedian Deon Cole, honors

It’s that time of year, folks! Hard to tell what time of year it is, truth be told. It’s still winter, but it’s 90 degrees today. Beautiful! But definitely a wee bit warm for February.

Monrovia Old Town report

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

more pizzazz to an already lovely evening. You can also purchase your tickets at the Monrovia Community Center or Charlie’s House. This event sells out, so don’t dilly dally.

This is a fantastic opportunity to support our Old Town businesses and have a blast while doing it.

As a proud MOTAB member, I’m proud to tell you that this event is brought to you by the Monrovia Old Town Old Town Advisory Board, Old Town Merchants and wouldn’t be possible without the City of Monrovia staff, who are essential and do way too much to list.

I have mentioned in other media sources that we have some new busi-

nesses coming to Old Town. I will list them here, as well, just in case you missed it.

We have a new vintage store coming to the 500 block soon. Is that an oxymoron? “New Vintage.” Lol.

Saint Aesthetix, which is reported to be a beauty wellness spa and hair washing & scalp studio, should be open any day now. They are also located in the 500 block of Myrtle.

Saint Aesthetix wanted to open at the end of 2024 but seems to be having some unfortunate delays.

Also in the 500 block, Republik Coffee is working hard to remodel the old Sundays Old Town Bistro. I believe they already have

a location in Pasadena, if you want to check out their website, menu and photos.

BBQ Blues has had its soft opening, but I’m not sure when they will be open to the public. Taking the place of 38 Degrees, I’m looking forward to some authentic BBQ and Blues!

Coffee anyone? San Fernando Coffee is opening in the location formally known as Mooyah. I haven’t heard of them, but cheers to them.

A full list of award recipients is available at naacpimageawards.net.

More coffee? Ok… Hideout Coffee, located on Lime Ave, just across from Library Park, is a true gem. They brew Lavazza coffee, which is my all time fave. They often have a line, so bring your patience, but not your laptop. You walk up to the Speakeasy-ish Dutch door, order your desired brew, they make it, pass it to you and you then leave. There is no seating. I am also waiting for more info from Sourdough & Co. They are coming soon to Foothill Park Plaza and will be serving handcrafted sandwiches, salads and soups. I am SO excited for this. A store not only dedicated to carbs, but sourdough carbs? Be still my heart!

Lots of things are coming our way. Let’s not forget to get out there and support these amazing merchants who make our Old Town District so over-the-top special. I’m looking forward to seeing you around town.

91766,

INTERESTED PERSONS:

according to the report.

"Reserves are in a better position than what they have been in the past, but I want to caution that's not enough," county Chief Executive Officer Jeff Van Wagenen said. "We need to have two months' General Fund operating reserves, or $775 million (to meet baseline budgetary recommendations from public sector accountants). We're approaching that number, but we're certainly not there yet."

Van Wagenen pointed out that sales tax revenue receipts are sagging, and higher interest rates from which the county has benefited due to inflationary pressures are projected to slide lower, impacting operating income.

"We've got to maintain our service levels as best we can," he told the board.

The Executive Office statement introducing the budget report noted ongoing concerns tied to "escalating costs related to maintaining service levels, labor cost increases and addressing the critical need to repair or replace aging facilities."

One of the largest increases in near-term costs was connected to the Medical Retiree Health Insurance Fund, operated by the Department of Human Resources. The outgo was estimated at $9.75 million for the current fiscal year. Only $5 million had been budgeted. The board authorized tapping a reserve account to cover the obligations.

Public safety agencies were generally holding inside spending thresholds. However, the Department of Animal Services needed a $750,000 augmentation to its budget stemming from

Budget

"greater medical needs for animals in its care."

The agency has been operating at maximum capacity at all four county shelters for at least the last two years. The board approved clearing the revenue deficiency by drawing on savings netted from available funds left over due to departmental positions remaining unfilled.

The largest tax revenue shortfall detected to date was in Proposition 172 Pubic Safety Sales Tax receipts, which were projected to slip by $9.2 million in 2024-25. Other income streams were expected to offset the loss, resulting from decreased consumer spending.

The budget for 2024-25, approved by the board in June, contained $9.2 billion in appropriations, representing an 11% increase over the 2023-24 spending blueprint.

Van Wagenen confirmed at the start of the fiscal year there were 2021 American Rescue Plan Act funds still in the county treasury. They were, by law, supposed to be spent by Dec. 31. The county received $480

million in ARPA allocations and another $500 million in 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security Act money. The federal infusions have been applied to "budget stabilization," community development, infrastructure projects and related programs.

Under the current budget, $2.6 billion is going to the Riverside University Health System, the largest set-aside in the spending plan, at 27% of total expenditures. The outgo translated to a 5.6% increase in healthcare- oriented obligations.

Public safety agencies are next, with $2.2 billion in expenditures, 8.5% more than last year's outlays and 23% of the composite budget, while the social services portfolio is receiving $2.1 billion in General Fund receipts, also representing an 8.5% increase compared to 2023-24 and comprising 21.4% of the budget.

The next budget update will be the third-quarter report on May 20. Hearings on the proposed 2025-26 budget are tentatively slated for June 9-10.

San Bernardino council appoints Gallardo interim city manager

By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

William Gallardo is San Bernardino's new interim city manager, the city announced Friday.

Mayor Helen Tran and the City Council are searching for the next permanent city manager, and the appointment of the interim post marks a key step in that process, officials said.

On Friday the council unanimously approved a resolution appointing Gallardo, a San Bernardino resident who recently retired from his position as city manager of Brea.

“Bringing Bill Gallardo on board will ensure a smooth transition while the council and I take the next steps to find our next city manager,” Tran said in a statement.

Gallardo was expected to assume his new role this week.

As a recently retired employee under the California Public Employee Retirement System, he must receive approval from the retirement system before working for another CalPERS agency, officials said.

Gallardo will receive $161 hourly with an annual 960-hour limit, documents show.

Acting City Manager Tanya Romo will return to her deputy city manager position when CalPERS approves Gallardo’s return to work.

“I am honored and excited to take on the role of interim city manager,” Gallardo said in a statement. “I will work diligently to become a valuable resource for the mayor, city council and

staff and, just as importantly, maintain crucial relationships between City Hall, the community, and agency partners during this time of transition as we search for a permanent city manager.”

Gallardo retired in December after 35 years with Brea, where he was city manager since 2015. Prior posts included assistant city manager/administrative services director, finance manager and revenue manager for the northern Orange County city.

He holds a degree in business from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

Rob Field, who left in

2023, was the last permanent city manager. In September 2023, Steve Carrigan withdrew from consideration for the position after information about his candidacy was leaked. Carrigan then filed a lawsuit against the city later that year.

After that, the council appointed Charles Montoya, who subsequently was fired after questions arose about his alleged lack of professionalism and acts of retaliation against employees.

The city has retained the executive search firm Ralph Anderson to help with the recruitment process for the next city manager.

Poor investment returns going back to the Great Recession have required the county to pay higher amounts to CalPERS to cover loses in the safety and miscellaneous categories.

The aggregate contribution rates in the next fiscal year will be the equivalent of 51.1% of payroll for the safety category, and the equivalent of 27.2% of payroll for the miscellaneous category, according to the report.

Employees across the spectrum in county government generally contribute less than 10% of gross earnings toward their defined-benefit plans with CalPERS.

General fund allocations to support the retirement system will steadily rise over the next decade, approaching $900 million in support by the mid 2030s, according to PARC.

Despite the big outlays, Supervisor Chuck Washington said the county continues "to be assertive in shoring up our finances," to which board

Pension gap

Chairman Manuel Perez added, "We're in a better position now than we were before."

The county gained some near-term relief from higher pension costs by selling $716 million in bonds at low interest rates in May 2020 and applying the proceeds to pension debt reduction, or what then-Supervisor Kevin Jeffries compared at the time to "using a credit card to pay off a credit card."

The 2020 bond debt was added to similar issuances in 2005 that were also intended to pare down long-term pension obligations, relying on advantageous interest rates. The county will be able to repay the IOUs before 2040.

In the past, Jeffries and other supervisors had expressed a desire for the county to phase out some defined-benefit plans in favor of defined-contribution plans, in line with most private sector retirement guarantees. Executive Office staff described the process as riddled with hurdles because

of requirements in state law. Under pre-2012 plans negotiated with collective bargaining units, safety workers accrued retirement earnings according to a "3% at 50" formula, fixing compensation at 3% of the average of the three highestpaid years of an employee's career, multiplied by the number of years on the job. An employee could begin collecting full retirement at age 50.

Miscellaneous workers received benefits based on a "3% at 60" formula.

Beginning in September 2012, new hires in the safety category began accruing retirement benefits under a 2% at 50 formula, while newly hired miscellaneous workers began accruing benefits under a 2% at 60 formula.

Legislation signed into law soon afterward added another category for public sector employees hired after Jan. 1, 2013. The lower benefit formula is 2% at 62 for miscellaneous and 2.7% at 57 for safety workers.

2 Riverside police officers face misdemeanor vandalism charges

By City News Service

Two Riverside Police Department officers are facing misdemeanor vandalism charges for damage to a resident's skateboard last month, Police Chief Larry Gonzalez said.

"Last month, a video surfaced showing one of my officers damaging a skateboard in what appeared to be a deliberate act," Gonzalez said in a statement Saturday.

"I understand the concerns this has raised and appreciate our community's patience as we have been conducting both a criminal and internal investigation. The Riverside County

District Attorney decided to file charges against two of the officers related to the misdemeanor vandalism," the chief continued.

"One officer has six years of service, and the other has five. Let me be clear: This behavior is unacceptable and does not reflect the standards of the Riverside Police Department. I expect every officer to uphold the integrity and professionalism that our community deserves. Our internal investigation remains ongoing, and once complete, I will take an appropriate course of action."

In video, which has over 559,000 views on YouTube.

com, six officers can be seen in the patio area of a residence. It is unclear what the officers were doing at the residence or who they were looking for.

After getting no answer from the residents, one of the officers starts playing with a skateboard trying to do an ollie trick while the others watch. Four of the officers are then seen leaving the property while two officers stay behind and one of them breaks the skateboard in two while the other takes a picture of the damaged skateboard before walking away.

The officers have not been identified.

Man admits assaulting, abducting woman in Perris

By City News Service

A24-year-oldman who assaulted and abducted his ex-girlfriend in Perris pleaded guilty Monday to assault resulting in great bodily injury and assault with intent to commit rape.

Jaden I. Ross of Riverside admitted the felony charges under a plea agreement with the Riverside County District Attorney's Office. In exchange for his admissions, prosecutors agreed to drop two related counts.

The deal was announced as Ross' case was called for a preliminary hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice. Superior Court Judge Francisco Navarro scheduled a sentencing hearing for March 18. The prospective term of imprisonment was not immediately known.

Ross is being held on $1 million bail at the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta.

According to sheriff's Sgt. Chad Thompson, the abduction occurred in the predawn hours of last May 27. Thompson said deputies were called to a residence in the 29000 block of Placentia

Avenue, near Eureka Street, to investigate reports of a person in distress.

Deputies encountered the victim, identified in court documents only as "S.B.," and she said Ross had forcibly taken her from one location to another.

"The victim was able to escape the ... captor and, with the help of a citizen, call 911," the sergeant said.

"The suspect had already fled the scene."

Over the ensuing days, detectives gathered sufficient evidence to obtain an

arrest warrant for Ross, and the defendant was tracked to a property on Magnolia Avenue in Riverside, where he was taken into custody without incident on the afternoon of June 5. Details concerning how long the victim and defendant had been involved were not disclosed. She has since obtained a criminal protective order, barring him from having any contact with her, court records show. Ross had no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

Palm Desert entrepreneurial resource center to launch next week

By City News Service

Aresource center for entrepreneurs at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert campus is getting a major expansion, officials said Tuesday.

The Palm Desert Entrepreneurial Resource Center, a rebranded expansion of the Palm Desert iHub, will promote business establishment and growth in the region, according to the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship and School of Entrepreneurship.

The organizations partnered with city officials and the Riverside County Office of Economic Development for the new building.

An open house celebration for the expanded resource is scheduled for March 5 at 4 p.m.

"This is a regional hub where all aspiring and existing entrepreneurs in the Coachella Valley can find the support they need to launch and grow a diverse range of businesses," said professor Mike Stull, director of the IECE and the CSUSB School of Entrepreneurship.

Officials said the ERC will compile various entrepreneurial support groups to supply training, technical assistance and resource access for local small business owners in the area. ERC space can also be

occupied for co-working areas, conference rooms, meeting zones and offices by users such as startups, remote workers and businesses seeking to relocate to the area without having secured a permanent commercial space, among others.

"The launch of the Palm Desert Entrepreneurial Resource Center is a significant milestone in our city's commitment to fostering innovation, economic growth and small business success," Palm Desert Mayor Pro Tem Evan Trubee said. "This expansion reflects the power of collaboration between the City of

Palm Desert, CSUSB and Riverside County to create a hub where entrepreneurs can access the resources, mentorship and space they need to thrive." The Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship operates similar multipurpose centers in

Dickens Festival concludes with Victorian-style afternoon tea NEWS

By City News Service

The celebrated Riverside Dickens Festival wrapped up Sunday with an afternoon tea reminiscent of Victorian-era London during the life and times of author Charles Dickens.

The 1 p.m. event, dubbed "Royal Victorian Tea Room and Music Hall," was held at First Congregational Church, 3504 Mission Inn Ave., and included a mockup of a London bazaar, characters from Charles Dickens' classics on parade, literary readings, an original musical, a series of skit performances and high tea with homemade treats.

Most of the 32nd annual fest's activities took place Saturday in White Park,

offering visitors a chance to "step back in time" with "immersivehistorical re-enactments, captivating performances, literary discussions and interactive workshops that celebrate Victorian life here and in England," organizers said. The event also included an "Authors' Salon," featuring the works of Dickens contemporaries Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Sir Richard Burton and others performed by actors; parades, live music and who-dun-it mysteries.

In February 2024, the event was hosted at the Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch & Museum, near Flabob Airport, in Jurupa Valley. The decision

to relocate from its traditional place along the Main Street pedestrian mall was costdriven.

Organizers said setting up security barriers and cordoning off streets required paying ever-escalating municipal fees that the fest couldn't afford. White Park offered a more economical option.

The fest was nearly nixed completely in February 2021 amid the COVID lockdowns, but organizers managed to throw together a virtual presentation featuring profiles of Dickens' stories online.

In-person activities returned in February 2022.

Immigration

According to Jones' office, SB 554 "prevents local jurisdictions from further restricting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement beyond what SB 54 already prescribes. It also mandates that local law enforcement cooperate with (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in cases where SB 54 simply allows it, ensuring violent offenders are not shielded from federal immigration authorities."

Bianco, who announced his candidacy for governor earlier this week, said his job as the bill progresses in the Legislature will be "to impose some common-sense, some reason and some truth to what we are experiencing here in California, particularly because of the failures of SB 54."

That law "and let me make this perfectly clear, does absolutely nothing but harm the people they say they are protecting," Bianco said.

Bianco said when SB 54 first passed, "we told the Legislature of the consequences that were going to happen because of this."

SB 554 will absolutely allow law enforcement "to make sure that we are able to prevent child molesters, rapists, murderers, robbers who victimize us, who victimize them, from being released into our communities," Bianco said.

The sheriff said SB 54 proponents have demonized local law enforcement, which "has never been involved with immigration reform — that is the job of the federal government."

Bianco said that it lacks any reason "for any person

in California to say that we must release those people back into our community to molest our children again, to rape our women again, to murder other people again."

He asked supporters to be as loud as they possibly can in Sacramento "to these tonedeaf people in that building that do not care about the safety and security of their constituents."

As he stood outside the San Diego County Administration Center before a podium with a sign reading "Safety Before Sanctuary," Jones said a group of protesters who gathered at the event and other critics hadn't read his bill.

Those protesting could be heard shouting, "When we fight, we win."

Jones said that several months ago, "the radical Democrats on the (San Diego County) Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance describing the county as a super-sanctuary county, to protect the most dangerous illegal immigrants in the county from deportation."

Last December, supervisors voted 3-1 to restrict the use of county resources for federal immigration enforcement.

Former board Chairwoman Nora Vargas said the policy "is designed to ensure local resources are focused on addressing the county's most urgent needs, while protecting families and promoting community trust."

Jones said the policy effectively prohibited law enforcement from handling criminal offenses by undocumented migrants, making it easier for them to return to the county and "continue

their crime spree, regardless of how many felony convictions they have."

Jones represents the 40th District, which includes numerous cities and communities in San Diego County.

Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, R-Yucaipa, said everyone should feel secure, regardless of their background and that neighborhoods should be "the sanctuaries for families."

Ochoa Bogh, co-author of SB 554, said the bill would create a safer environment "including (for) undocumented families who deserve protection from those who wish to harm them."

Ochoa Bogh said many people believe sanctuary policies were created with noble intentions to protect law-abiding, hardworking undocumented immigrants. However, when those policies extend protections to undocumented violent criminals, "they undermine public trust and safety for all residents, including those they are meant to protect," she added.

"Communities lose faith in the system when they see offenders back into the streets," which leads to a reluctance to report crimes or cooperate with law enforcement officers, Ochoa Bogh said.

She added that SB 554 "is a compassionate and necessary response" to the challenges posed by sanctuary policies.

"By refining these laws, we honor the original intent of protecting vulnerable communities, while ensuring those who commit violent crimes are held accountable," she said. "Together, we can create a California where safety and justice prevails for everyone."
