NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its meeting to be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, at 7:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider the following: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING RESTAURANT USES IN THE MIXED USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE, AND TRANSIENT RESIDENTIAL USES IN THE MIXED USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY ZONE, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES, AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES; Planned Development Permit Amendment: A request to amend a previously approved Planned Development Permit for the property located at 9355 Wilshire Boulevard and 155 North Crescent Drive (AKA Serviced Residences). The proposed amendments would modify the project’s existing conditions of approval, and would establish provisions for allowing restaurant and “serviced residence” uses within the subject property; and Development Agreement: As a component of the entitlements listed above, the applicant proposes a development agreement. The development agreement would set forth the City’s rights, the applicant’s rights, and would contain provisions for public benefits to be provided to the City by the applicant.

As proposed, the ordinance would modify the City’s Zoning Code to allow restaurant uses within the subject property, and to allow the existing apartments to be used as “serviced residences” that could be rented for periods of less than 30 days (currently, all rentals must be a minimum of 30 days). In addition, the ordinance includes zone text amendments to address the growing trend of short-term rentals in single- and multi-family residential zones.

The ordinance and related entitlements outlined above were previously reviewed by the Planning Commission on November 21, 2013. The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the ordinance and development agreement, and voted to approve the Planned Development Permit amendment, contingent on the City Council approving the above ordinance and development agreement. The matter will now be considered by the City Council during the public hearing described in this notice.

The ordinance and related entitlements have 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. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was previously adopted by the City Council on December 3, 2002 for the existing mixed-use building on the subject site. Therefore, an addendum to the original EIR has been prepared to evaluate the project changes outlined above, and will be presented to the City Council for consideration.

At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all comments. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date.

Please note that if you challenge the Council’s action in regards to this matter 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 Ryan Gohlich, Senior Planner in the Beverly Hills Community Development Department at 310.285.1194, or by email at rgohlich@beverlyhills.org.

Copies of the Project plans and associated documents are on file in the Community Development Department and can be reviewed by any interested person at 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210.

CRENSHAW LINE GROUNDBREAKING—U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer joined the throng of politicos for Tuesday’s Crenshaw/LAX transit project ground-breaking ceremony, arriving late to the photo-op with L.A.Mayor Eric Garcetti and leaving the program just after she spoke - before U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx addressed those in attendance. Boxer helped secure the $545.9 million TIFIA loan for the 8.5-mile, $2 billion lightrail project that will run between Metro Expo and Green lines. “This is a partnership; it’s a federal, state, local and community partnership,” Foxx said. Before the ceremony, the Crenshaw Subway Coalition gathered to express concern that not putting a portion of the Leimert Park project underground could endanger the community. “How is an 11block tunnel for just $60 million unreasonable?” asked Coalition Executive Director Damien Goodman. This current project means Metro now has three rail lines being built simultaneously - a historic first, according to Metro Board of Directors Chair Diane DuBois. The project is expected to open in 2019.

Kusama ‘Attractive Nuisance’ Gets Protection

INVERTED BARRIER—This rendering shows the “Hymn of Life” surrounded by a mote-like barrier that is 30-feet deep at the base. Beverly Hills Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Robbie Anderson felt the design was too expensive and posed a hazard.

By Victoria Talbot The “Hymn of Life” is undeniably popular. The valuable art bears a resemblance to a playground structure, inspiring visitors to touch and climb on its delicate branches.

Since its installation, the piece has undergone a complete restoration. Temporarily secured by a barrier of posts and netting, the piece has already become damaged during deliberations for a permanent solution.

The City Council, the Recreation and Parks Commission and the Fine Art Commission, after long and contentious deliberation, finally settled on an “inverted barrier,” a sloping grade that would surround the art, like a mote. At its steepest, the inversion would be a 30” drop from the base of the sculpture, without a visual obstruction. The estimated cost - $75,000 to $100,000.

On Tuesday, Recreation and Parks Commission Chair Robbie Anderson changed his presentation, stating that the inverted barrier “is excessive and expensive. Children run-

ning could go headlong into it.

The Kusama, unfortunately, is an attractive nuisance.”

Anderson proposed a post and chord similar to systems used on boats at a fraction of the cost that resembles an idea originally proposed by the Fine Art Commission though much less visually invasive.

“I thought I was going to tell you how excited I was to bring everyone together,” said a surprised Fine Art Commissioner Alan Kaye in response.

“The Kusama has become a featured art work,” said Fine Art Vice Chair Sandy Pressman, “not an attractive nuisance!”

The City Council agreed with Anderson directing staff to work toward Anderson’scompromise solution that would begin with anodized steel posts and chord, and distinctive plantings. City staff will work with the commissions and Risk Management towards an acceptable solution.

If that does not deter visitors from touching the structure, they will reconsider the inverted barrier.

Willie Brien asked for this investigation to be conducted. Snow said there was no agreement and no negotiations or discussions with Cedars.

One issue was allegations Councilmembers Krasne, Gold and Brien having “Common Law Bias.” In Krasne’s case, the allegation centered on a declaration filed on behalf of the applicants for the original project. This de novo hearing focused on the current, new project. And Brien and Gold shared a campaign manager who supports the project, which are not grounds for recusal.

Vice Mayor Lili Bosse asked about the left-turn lane on Robertson, striped to allow the turn in December. Vehicles block the travel lane when waiting to make the turn, snarling traffic.

dren at Horace Mann School had been conducted. The two nay votes, Bosse and Mirisch focused on the Planning Commission recommendation November 21, 2013, which did not result in findings for the project.

Councilmember Brien spent considerable time on his comments, reciting every document he reviewed on 8767 Wilshire since 2006. Gold expressed concern over the risk of losing in court.

Krasne explained that she had been on the planning commission when the project was initially presented. At that time, she said, “I put the (height) variance on this building . . . The City took by eminent domain all frontage on Wilshire Blvd. for the bus turning lane. That was given back to the applicant on a fourth floor . . . We

Krasne stated she now regrets insisting on that variance.

Bosse commended the public process. She pointed out that there were seven public hearings in the Planning Commission, and she could not make any findings for the Medical Overlay, the DPR or the CUP. “My concerns were the traffic and circulation impact. The public benefit of weekend and evening parking could be given without the medical overlay. I agreed with the planning commission,” said Bosse.

“The fix was in,” said Mayor Mirisch, naming Vice Mayor Lili Bosse his “hero” in this matter.

HOW DO YOU FEEL? JWCI Creates Donald Morton Melanoma Research Program The board of directors of the John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI) has announced the naming of the Donald L. Morton, M.D., Melanoma Research Program at the institute. Morton, who died two weeks ago, dedicated his professional life to improving the

lives of patients with melanoma.

Among Morton’s achievements was the discovery of the Sentinel Node Biopsy technique, advances in immunotherapy for cancer and the training of many current leaders in melanoma research

and surgical oncology throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Morton was also a J W C I f o u n d e r, and together with the W a y n e Family, created an institution Dr. Donald that has Morton extended breakthroughs Mor-ton brought to melanoma to patients with breast, colon, prostate and other cancers.

The research program will advance the values of Dr. Morton so that the work he started may be preserved and extended into the future. The program will focus on the education of young surgeon-scientists, the use and improvement of surgery as a treatment for cancer, and immunotherapy.

For more information on the Donald L. Morton, M.D., Melanoma Research Program, call JWCI’s development office, 310-315-6111.

Massry Foundation Grant Supports Seven Keck School Researchers With a goal of helping young researchers launch their careers, the Beverly Hills based Meira and Shaul G. Massry Foundation has provided a $175,000 gift to USC’s Keck School of Medicine’s Dean’s Fifth-Year Research Scholars program.

With the gift, seven fourthyear medical students have the opportunity to focus on research projects for a full year after graduation, encouraging them in the development of their academic careers before practicing medicine.

Fifth-year scholars receive a stipend of $25,000 each to continue their research. The $175,000 gift is $75,000 more than last year’s gift, giving three

more students an opportunity for support.

“I believe a student who has finished four years of medical school and is ready to postpone his or her career is motivated to be a scientist, and that’s critical,” said Shaul Massry, professor emeritus of medicine, physiology and biophysics at the Keck School and president of the Massry Foundation.

The foundation is best known for the prize in medicine that it offers to noted scientists —10 of the 31 Massry Prize winners have gone on to win Nobel Prizes. Massry served as chief of the division of nephrology at the Keck School from 1974 to 2000. Read more at www.bhcourier.com, Health.

construction will commence in spring 2015 to rebuild and repair the roadway, and the enhancements represent installations that could be done during the construction.

The committee, which met Wednesday night for a final vote, after weeks of study and investigation with the participation of City staff, the engineering firm PSOMAS and public input from the community.

The committee voted to recommend the City widen the roadway to current standards of a uniform 66 feet. This will provide enough space for shared access to accommodate a future bike lane and cut down on construction time by allowing less traffic “flips.”

Dependent upon the street section’s current width, the

widening will take 3-6 feet from existing green space in Beverly Gardens Park. Committee members expressed concern over the loss of park space, but voted in the affirmative.

Robbie Anderson, Recreation and Parks chair, reversed his previous opinion: “We have an opportunity to do something beautiful and functional for now and the future.”

With widening, the street will be primed for striping bike lanes. The committee reckoned with the ever-growing population of cyclists and state laws empowering cyclists on public streets and voted in favor of striping the lanes.

Current laws allow riders to occupy the entire lane if there is not a safe cushion from vehicles, guaranteed to slow traffic, pointed out committee member Mark Elliot. During public comment, he said there was over-

whelming support for bicycle lanes as riders throughout the area came to speak in favor of bike lanes on Santa Monica.

Several committee members expressed concern about giving up valuable landmarked green space for bicycle lanes.

Landscaped medians were also a “yes” vote. The committee invited BHPD Chief Dave Snowdon and BHFD Chief Ralph Mundell to answer questions about emergency access with landscaped medians. Both agreed it was definitely not an issue, as long as the trees were trimmed to avoid interference with their vehicles and motorist visibility.

Vice Mayor Lili Bosse took the lead, pulling the items for discussion from the agenda. City staff had tucked the items among several on the consent calendar that are routinely approved by council.

City staff had recommended approval of the permits without mitigation.

The permit requests were for the relocation of fiber-optic communication facilities associated with the Westside Subway Extension between Hamilton Drive and San Vicente Boulevard and for ground water and gas sampling of existing monitoring wells.

The council grilled Kasey Shuda from Metro Communications about plans for outreach to the community and details on the closure dates. City staff was instructed to return with their own plan for outreach.

“I want comment from residents and businesses whenever a Metro permit comes before the council. How can they comment when they have not been notified? We have to let them know when these things are coming up. We cannot leave it up to Metro to inform. We need to get the information to our

BHUSD consultant Tim Buresh told The Courier the district’s response focuses primarily on Metro’s “flawed” seismic reports with the City bringing an additional argument that Metro failed to have a proper hearing, as required by state law.

“That [Public Utilities Code] provision was designed to protect little cities from the overpower of L.A., and Metro conducted a sham hearing,” he said.

When determining where to place the Century City subway station, Metro used a superficial investigation to show an active earthquake fault underneath

Santa Monica Boulevard at Avenue of the Stars. Buresh said Metro then used faults, which have subsequently been shown to be “non-existent,” as justification to be locate the station at Avenue of the Stars and Constellation, with a tunnel underneath the high school.

Both BHUSD experts and the California Geological Survey concluded there were no active faults underneath the high school. In addition, the added cost to Metro for switching the locally preferred original route to Constellation is upwards of $200 million more.

“Metro is wrong,” said former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman.

Councilman Willie Brien voted to approve the permits. “If we are going to have to go through this every time, it is going to be cumbersome and costly,” said Brien. “You know what you are going to do in the next year. Maybe you ought to go and do outreach and get your dates set,” he said.

Mayor John Mirisch, Vice Mayor Lili Bosse and Councilmembers Julian Gold and Nancy Krasne voted to deny the permits, requesting that Metro and City staff come back with more specific dates for the disruptions in service and closures, and a plan for community outreach.

Metro was also instructed to provide a plan for alternate parking for the ten street parking spaces that will be restricted during construction.

“Three days is not an option,” said Mayor John Mirisch.

“We are going to err on the part of caution. Our job is for our residents to be comfortable.

More work needs to be done.”

City staff and Metro have been instructed by City Council to pin down service interruption and closures and create a viable plan to outreach to businesses and residents.

The Wallis is launching its series of family programming with a rollicking version of Jason And The Argonauts.

Presented by the innovative Visible Fictions company from Scotland, the production features two accomplished actors, a versatile wooden cart that with the addition of some paper becomes their ship, and a trunk that becomes a nesting place for the action figures that become Jason’s crew, including Hercules, Orpheus and the jiggly swimmer Euphemus. Bits of paper became little ships and a dove; and something like a vacuum-cleaner motor animates the dragon’s tail.

“Children are mesmerized,” says Lou Moore, Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts executive director. “The show is perfect for those studying the classic Greek myth and kids who enjoy a great adventure—with lots of laughs thrown in.”

BIRTHDAYS–Mischa Barton, Justine Handwerger, Neil Diamond, Jeannine Sefton and Nastassja Kinski (Jan. 24); Alicia Keys and Kathryn Smith (Jan. 25); Anne Jeffreys-Sterling, Ellen DeGeneres, Anita Baker, Scott Glenn, and Eddie van Halen (Jan. 26); Eleanor Vallee Clark, Mimi Rogers, Dr. Susan Stafford and Bart Ross (Jan. 27); Alan Alda and John Beck (Jan. 28); John Chu, Bernice Gershon, Katharine Ross, Tom Selleck, Marcia Rosner, Heather Graham, Sara Gilbert, Oprah Winfrey, and Ann Jillian (Jan. 29); Christian Bale, Franklin K. Lane III, Phil Collins, Charles S. Dutton, Tammy Grimes, Gene Hackman and Vanessa Redgrave (Jan. 30).

A SbyTHoliday R O LMathis OGY TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 24). The union of your mind and body is a feature this year, and the talent you develop will marry the physical and mental in one expression. In the next 10 weeks, you will fulfill a commitment to loved ones that is unspoken but binding. You'll provide for a large number of people in February and again in August. Libra and Capricorn people adore you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You stand to gain recognition, earn money and, best of all, make a difference in the lives of others. So what are you waiting for? Act on your vision.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Conservatism is a behavior of those having a lot to lose. When you don't have much at stake, don't play it so safe. You can afford to be experimental, loose and free.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). It is a well-known fact of human nature that if you make something difficult to obtain, most people will want it more. You are not “most people” and can see through trumped-up scarcity marketing ploys.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Stay confident in yourself and your abilities. It all works best when you stand with your head held high today. Don't fold your cards. Whether you think they are good or bad, play them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're onto something big but can't do it alone. Unfortunately, the right people are not paying attention.

To make a difference, you'll have to wake someone up first.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A difference of sensibilities will come into play, between generations. What you consider common knowledge, someone else considers it to be radical free thought.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's like you're working in a void. You need a brainstorming group. You might not take any of its advice, and opinions may not so valid, either, but you'll be better for hearing all of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may dream of creating something that catches on, becoming wildly popular in your demographic of choice. Just be warned: This will be a mixed blessing. It will put you in the position of having to re-create on demand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll express a complex meaning with ease. It may feel as though you were always meant to deliver this message. And yet, don't be surprised if you can't say it the same way twice. It was very much a message of the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A central relationship will improve when you stop worrying about it so much. Worry delivers a bad energy to the subject of your concern. This is a time to let it go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Usually, wanting to impress is a setup for disappointment. But right now it's different. You want to impress someone, and then that person is really impressed by you–a rare dynamic, indeed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The trick is sharing in another person's dream without sacrificing your own. Warning: It's nearly but not totally impossible. If you're going to attempt it, just make sure the other person isn't a narcissist.

mon designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 221 SOUTH GALE DRIVE #108, BEVERLY HILLS, CA, 90211. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $640,561.12. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier's checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state.

Said sale will be made, in an ''AS IS'' condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one

mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 1 2 - 0 0 5 1 0 1 0 .

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Contractors may submit prequalification packages during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the CITY are open.

Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after submission of the information.

The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are not provided by the due date indicated above. There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time for submitting prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its sole discretion.

In addition to a contractor’s failure to be prequalified pursuant to the scoring system set forth in the prequalification package, a contractor may be found not prequalified for either omission of or falsification of, any requested information.

Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to prequalify, an appeal can be made by the unsuccessful Contractor. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the CITY of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification rating, no later than two business days following notification that it is not prequalified. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive notice of the appeal hearing. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the CITY, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding.

If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal, a hearing shall be conducted no earlier than five business days after the CITY’s receipt of the notice of appeal and not later than five business days prior to the date of the Notice Inviting Bids for this Project. Prior to the hearing, the Contractor shall, in writing, be advised of the basis for the City’s prequalification determination.

The hearing shall be conducted by a panel consisting of three members of the Department of Public Works & Transportation senior management staff (the “Appeals Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall consider any evidence presented by the Contractor, whether or not the evidence is presented in compliance with formal rules of evidence. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present evidence, information and arguments as to why the Contractor believes it should be pre-qualified.

Within one day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written determination as to whether the Contractor is pre-qualified. It is the intention of the CITY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process.

Please contact Julio Guerrero at the Office of Project Administration, at jguerrero@beverlyhills.org for any procedural questions or concerns regarding this project.

You can find these court forms and more information at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your county law library, or the courthouse nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing fee ask the court clerk for a fee waiver form. If you do not file your response on time, you may lose the case by default, and your wages, money, and property may be taken without further warning from the court.

There are other legal requirements. You may want to call an attorney right away.

If you do not know an attorney, you may want to call attorney referral service. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal services from a nonprofit legal services program. You can locate these nonprofit groups at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia.org), the California Courts online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), or by contacting your local court or county bar association.

From the Publisher CLIF SMITH

A SLAP BY CITY STAFF AT THE COUNCIL ...AND A BIG “SLAP BACK” Apparently, the City staff cannot get messages clear from the council about Metro.

Weeks ago, the council voted that all permits by Metro for its tunnel must be brought to the council instead of being “rubber stamped” by City staff. It is clear that the bureaucrats reporting to city manager Jeff Kolin have neither respect nor regard for the residents and businesses of Beverly Hills when it comes to Metro.

That’s why the council voted to have all Metro permit applications brought to them.

A telling example occurred Tuesday when Kolin placed two Metro permit applications on the “consent calendar” for that night’s council meeting. The “consent calendar” is for matters that are non-controversial and require neither public nor council comment. The permit applications called for closing one or two lanes of Wilshire Boulevard for at least two months, cutting off power and other utilities to residents, blocking on-street parking and tearing up the street.

Kolin’s staff offered to give affected residents and businesses a whopping three days notice. How do you rearrange telephones, cell service, electricity, water, cable TV, gas lines or anything else in three days?

The permit application also failed to put a time limit on Metro’s excavations and disruptions.

Remember the simple rebuild of the sidewalks on Canon Drive? Dragged on for months and months and months – nearly putting its businesses out of business. The excuse was that “Edison did not show up to move its lines.” Well, Kolin’s staff report never even mentioned Edison – although its lines would likely be affected. So, we would have had – not two months – but endless months of excavation, waiting on Edison and everyone else, with no responsibility on Metro for fixing anything. No deadlines. No termination of the permits for failure to perform.

Wilshire Boulevard carries tens of thousands of cars a day. What will happen to police, fire, paramedic and ambulance access when the boulevard is backed up in both directions from La Brea to Westwood? That is exactly what will happen, but the only treatment of the risk was – silence by the staff and Metro. “What, me worry?”

Councilmember Nancy Krasne was the first to pull the plug, demanding that the matter come before the full council. Vice Mayor Lili Bosse did the same. The two of them, joined by Mayor John Mirisch whose idea it was in the first place to bring these kinds of matters to the full council, and even Councilmember Julian Gold called “time out.”

Where were the traffic studies, residential impact, notices to residents and businesses, plans for completion, police/fire/paramedic contingencies, sanctions for failure to complete the project on time?

Not one word of this in the staff report. No private developer or homeowner could even think of any kind of construction project without answering fully these basic questions. Why the free pass to Metro?

Instead, under steady cross-examination by Bosse the City staff and Metro’s representative conceded that none of this had even been considered. None of it was addressed in anything presented to the council. The City staff still seems to be under the sway of Councilmember Willie Brien who was the lone vote to approve the permits, which were rejected in a 4-1 vote.

This is the same Metro that closes streets, tears them up, leaves construction debris in place, takes years and years beyond schedule to complete such things as the Expo Line and – recalling the “public hearing” at Temple Emanuel – seizes microphones from Bosse’s hands to shut her up.

There is no better judgment we can render about Mirisch’s initiative to force the City staff to bring these matters to the council than to consider what would have happened if the staff were allowed to approve these permits. It was obvious that the staff had no interest in getting any of these answers. If these permit applications were not coming to the council, we would be ripped up as a city with no recourse.

Our staff should know better. Thank goodness our council was actually on guard and was paying attention. When it comes to Metro, it is clear that the City staff as currently led cannot be trusted on the matter and that is really a shame.

Rabbi Jacob Pressman FROM SMOG TO SMILES We, who reside in our little isolated Beverly Hills paradise, should be very grateful for this blessing. Most of our nation is under a blanket of snow, experiences stormy weather, forest fires and floods, suffers extreme colds and in general is enduring rough times climatically.

My first experience with this contrast is when I drove with my fiancee Margie and her mother clear across the country from Philadelphia in a cramped 1936 Ford Sedan in June of 1940 to visit with her relatives here. It took us eight days to reach here, including a steamy ride across the Mojave Desert for the lack of air conditioning. But it seemed quite worth the effort because greater Los Angeles was far more exciting than dull old Philadelphia.

I had not yet entered the seminary at that time but was preparing to do so. We were married in 1942 while I was still at the seminary and were very happy when our Seminary Placement Committee offered us the opportunity to turn again westwards, when the head of the seminary told me that in the future there would be three major centers of Jewish population: New York, Palestine and Los Angeles. These predictions turned out to be true and when Sinai Temple invited me to be assistant rabbi, we were pleased to accept and have ever been grateful that we did.

Our early experience here included, to our surprise, smog: dirty air. Many homes had backyard furnaces for disposing of their trash.

But in the course of time the outdoor furnaces were forbidden and the atmosphere cleared.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Though I fully agree with Barbara Linder’s comments on our duty to help erase carbon footprints, C.S.I. Beverly Hills could not find one single carbon footprint along Santa Monica Boulevard.

Its report did mention a celeb who flies his jets nearby to obtain hamburgers and the leader of the ”global warming” community who flies about collecting cash from middle eastern newspapers.

So, the idea is to take one of the most heavily trafficked sections of one of the most heavily trafficked corridors of L.A.--a section where new construction of office and residential structures will add more traffic--and simply restrict the flow by adding a bicycle lane with a 3-foot no man zone around it. Imagine, now Barbra, James and their entourage can safely bike from Malibu to the studio.

And lest we forget Bob Zimmerman, aka Dylan, who is anxiously awaiting the moment when he can hop on his bike and tool down to the recording studio.

Before getting the brushes and yellow paint out, why don't we have all of the bike folk sign a pledge that will commit them to garage their cars and use the bike lane for transportation.

This then can give us a clear indication of how many carbon footprints will be eliminated.
