Reconfiguration Committee Offers Clarity To School Board By Laura Coleman In what is being billed as the most transformational undertaking to confront the Beverly Hills Unified School District in a century of history, reconfiguring the current five schools to create a dedicated middle school is awash in challenges and opportunities. On Wednesday evening, members of the district’s Reconfiguration Steering Committee updated the Board of Education in a three-hour study session, seemingly allaying any lingering doubts that members of
the board may have had about the process. “This is a great plan that you have all proposed,” stated Board VP Isabel Hacker, adding that her one concern centered on the district’s ability to successfully conceive an effective plan to deal with traffic. The reconfiguration calls for the temporary closure of El Rodeo and the transformation of Beverly Vista into a dedicated middle school with Hawthorne and Horace Mann both becoming (see ‘RECONFIGURATION’ page 13)

By Victoria Talbot The City of Beverly Hills has taken another step forward with the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) by establishing a Rent Stabilization Commission to administer the RSO alongside Deputy Director of Community Development for Rent Stabilization Helen Morales. Placing several contentious and as yet, unresolved, issues in the hands of future commissioners, the new commission will consist of two landlords, defined as residents who own one or more multifamily residential buildings within the City, two tenants who reside within the City, and two at-large members that are neither landlords, tenants or property managers. The commission will also include three alternates, including one landlord, one
tenant and one at-large alternate. The composition of the new commission is a perplexing example of the City Council spontaneously flipflopping on an issue that had gained widespread support in the difficult landlord-tenant environment. The City Council had previously decided it wanted two landlords, two tenants and one at-large member. Councilmember Les Friedman, who is expected to become Vice Mayor on March 20 at the City Council Reorganization said “the fear I have is it is going to be a twoto-two vote with a super-commissioner potential.” Friedman described a situation in which the at-large commissioner would be called upon to break ties, giving too much power to one individual.

100 Crescent Media Center Discussion Tabled By Victoria Talbot A controversial request for a Mixed Use Overlay for the Beverly Hills Media Center at 100 N. Crescent Drive has been continued until the Planning Commission’s May 9 meeting. The project includes the addition of two stories to the existing Gin Dan Wong building and significant modifications to the exterior façade of the building. The Planning Commission convened at 7 p.m. to allow more residents who work during the day to comment; in particular, the seven homeowners that reside directly to the east of the building on Rexford Drive. The Planning Commission
requested that the developer meet with the homeowners to discuss some kind of possible accommodations, while examining the feasibility of removing aisle parking, making the loading dock deeper, reducing or eliminating a planned lane closure on Canon Drive during construction and reducing the height from five stories to four stories while minimizing the impacts of shade and shadow on the Rexford Drive residences. The project is scheduled to return to the Planning Commission on May 9. The Municipal Gallery was filled with residents from all parts of the City, including former Mayors Robert Tanenbaum (see ‘100 CRESCENT’ page 13)
EVELYN LAUDER’S TRIUMPH — The world lit up for Evelyn Lauder who was instrumental in creating awareness for breast cancer.

LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280A Beverly Hills City Hall 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 PROJECT:
245 North Beverly Drive (Between Dayton Way and Wilshire Boulevard)
The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, March 28, 2019, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM to consider: A request for a Planned Development Permit amendment to allow an increase in restaurant area in excess of 5% of the total gross square footage of the building for AVRA, an existing restaurant located at 245 North Beverly Drive. The subject property has the zoning designation of Entertainment Office Planned Development Overlay Zone (E-O-PD) and is currently improved with a commercial building of 208,100 gross square feet housing professional office, retail, and restaurant uses. The proposal consists of the expansion of the existing 10,069 square-foot restaurant into an 805 square-foot adjacent vacant retail space to provide for a new retail wine room as well as an ancillary office area for the restaurant. If approved, the total restaurant area for the subject property would increase to 10,874 square feet or a total of 5.22% of the total gross square footage of the building. Expansions of restaurant uses in the E-O-PD Overlay Zone that increase restaurant floor area to more than 5% of the gross square footage of a building requires Planning Commission approval and the Planning Commission may establish a restaurant percentage that it deems appropriate. The request is being made pursuant to §10-31844 and §10-3-1863 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code.
A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was certified by the City Council when the project was originally approved by the City in 2007. The primary change to the 2007 Approved Project that will be evaluated by the Planning Commission would modify the requirement for designated affordable units to require rental units rather than for-sale condominium units. This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. The Planning Commission will consider finding that the minor revision proposed is within the scope of the previously certified FEIR, that no further CEQA review is required, and in the alternative that the project exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).
This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. Upon review, the project appears to qualify for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption (Existing Facilities) in accordance with the requirements of Section 15301 of the state CEQA Guidelines. The Class 1 Categorical Exemption is applicable to interior and exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances. Accordingly, the Planning Commission will consider a recommendation to find the project exempt from the environmental review requirements of CEQA.

Behind The Business Of Bragging About BOLD By Victoria Talbot While dozens of residents and stakeholders waited patiently Tuesday for the City Council to hear an item on the concept plan for the future of La Cienega Park, City Council members received fuzzy numbers purportedly hailing the success of the City’s (to date) more than $8.5 million BOLD (Beverly Hills Open Later Days) program. The staff report provided website statistics and social media engagement counts, showing that during BOLD, there were “200,000+ social media impressions” and “600,000+ potential reach from participating influencers and talent” during Next Night, the party held on South Beverly Drive at the conclusion of Summer BOLD. The Rodeo Drive Committee reports that they measured foot traffic, posts, engagement (likes), reach (total views of content), Users who posted #OnlyOnRodeo and #BoldBH, Impressions and the market age, gender and geolocations. Other measurements include economic sales data when available, hotel room counts, and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and a
collection of local anecdotes from businesses. The report says that the TOT revenue for FY 2017/18 increased 12.8 percent over FY 2016/17, admitting that the new Waldorf Astoria contributed to the increase. “In 2018 there was a 5.2 percent increase as compared to August 2017. There was an 8.3 percent increase as compared to August 2016. Suffice it to say, TOT steadily increased year-over-year, particularly when reviewing Q3 data.” Sales tax data shows a 2.4 percent increase in Q3 summer 2017 over 2016, and 16 percent increase Q3 summer 2018 over 2016. Winter Q4 statistics are only available for 2016 and 2017 on Rodeo Drive, showing a 6.3 percent increase in 2017 over 2016. Citywide, summer Q3 2017 fell 0.4 percent over Citywide sales tax in 2016. In Q3 2018, there was a 5.2 percent increase. Winter Citywide, Q4 2017 showed a 1.3 percent increase over 2016. There is no direct correlation between BOLD and sales tax or TOT tax increase. A foot traffic count shows that there were more than (see ‘BOLD’ page 19)

SAT For All: Beverly Hills High School Juniors To Take Free SAT This Month For The First Time By Laura Coleman In a world where college acceptances are increasingly competitive, getting an edge can have a manifold impact on one’s future. On March 27, for the first time ever, Beverly Hills Unified School District will be providing the SAT for all Beverly Hills High School juniors, free of charge. The globally recognized college admission test, which is accepted at all U.S. colleges, is one of the key ways that students get into college. “The purpose behind purchasing the SAT exam for all juniors is to encourage college/career readiness,” explained Dustin Seemann, assistant superintendent of

Educational Services for the school district. “Through having all juniors take the exam, we will have a full set of data that is nationally normed to determine our areas of strength and weaknesses in curriculum and instruction.” That same day, a Wednesday, all BHHS sophomores will be taking the PSAT 10, the preparation exam for the SAT. Seemann emphasized how helpful the test results will be in assisting the district to improve its college/career readiness standards, as well as help improve professional development and curriculum design. The district has already
registered all BHHS juniors with the College Board to take the test, which will begin promptly at 8 a.m. The results of the exam can then be sent to colleges for consideration in an admission decision, although students can subsequently choose to pay to retake the exam. “Offering the SAT for all juniors is an opportunity for students to gauge their performance as well as their preference to the SAT,” said Board of Education President Noah Margo. “It allows them to take the exam out for a spin. The data collected will also play a role in informing instructional practices throughout the district.”

Police Investigate Swastikas Drawn In Blood Near Museum Of The Holocaust By Matt Lopez Police this week were investigating swastikas that had been scrawled in blood near the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. The swastikas were found Monday Morning near the Pan Pacific Senior Activity Center in the 100 block of South Gardner Street. Blood was found in a bathroom at the facility, and two swastikas were drawn on a nearby wall in what police believe is the same blood. A trail of that blood was left leading into Pan Pacific Park, which is the home to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. Police say the situation is being treated as a potential hate crime, and they’re reviewing surveillance camera footage in the area to find the possible injured victim, as well as any potential suspects. Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Tony Im told KTLA News that the blood was found about 6:40 a.m. An employee of the park who discovered the blood told KTLA she found a “pool of blood” in the bathroom. Red shoes were found left behind at the scene, with a bloody footprint leading from the bathroom to a nearby
7-Eleven and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf coffee shop. A spokesperson for the Holocaust Museum said the museum is working closely with law enforcement as they investigate the incident. “We all, collectively, bear responsibility for the hijacking of these symbols of human misery and destruction for casual entertainment,” said Paul S. Nussbaum, President of Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. "Parents, teachers, educators and our elected leaders need to emphatically condemn these incidents and pledge to enlighten and educate our youth.” L.A. City Councilman David Ryu said that “acts of hate and antiSemitism are deeply painful and have no place in the City of Los Angeles... with hate incidents on the rise locally and nationally, we must stand up for our diverse communities and their safety.” The incident at Pan Pacific Park came just days after photos circulated on social media showing high school students from Newport Beach at a party giving the Nazi salute next to red plastic cups, arranged in the shape of a swastika.
Former Carroll & Co. General Manager Opens Bespoke At Avedon On Canon Dr. By John L. Seitz When you have spent the last quarter century as general manager of one of Beverly Hills’ most storied retail operations, Carroll & Co., which closed its doors after 70 years serving the finest men’s clothing needs not only for a highly discriminating audience of local business people, but also for a “who’s who” amongst the most famous and legendary names in the history of Hollywood cinema, what could you possibly do for an encore? For Stuart Newmark, that’s easy. The 1969 graduate of Beverly Hills High School has just launched his own operation called Bespoke at Avedon, located two doors down Canon Drive from his former Carroll & Co. address. “I’m delighted to introduce my own line of customized men’s fashions to the Avedon boutique,” said Newmark. “Customized clothing has become the fastest growing part of the menswear business and our offerings will be

MOVING 1115 CALLE VISTA FORWARD – Jennifer and Byron Allen sat in City Council chambers Tuesday with their support team, including architects and lawyer Murray Fischer. The couple sought changes to the current Municipal Code that would allow them to move forward on the remodel of a project at 1115 Calle Vista Dr. The City Council amended an ordinance to modify the eligibility requirements for any project to apply for a Hillside R-1 Permit to Allow Cumulative Floor Area to Exceed 15,000 Square Feet. Their project was called up to City Council on January 19 and sent back to the Planning Commission to review the City’s ordinance. The ordinance did not allow a non-conforming project to apply for the R-1 Permit. The project is a remodel of an existing two-story, single-family residence with the addition of a partially subterranean basement, a portion of which was proposed to daylight toward the southern side property line. The City Council approved the modifications to the ordinance, BHMC §10-3-2550.
U.S. Household Net Worth Sees Biggest Fall Since Crisis American households saw their net worth plummet at the end of 2018 amid a rout on Wall Street, the biggest tumble since the global financial crisis, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday. The benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average alone lost 13 percent from October to December, draining the value of stock holdings including in retirement accounts, amid concerns about the slowing US economy and the trade war with China. Household net worth fell $3.7 trillion to $104.3 trillion in the final three
months of the year, according to the Fed's quarterly report. The 3.5 percent decline was the largest drop in percentage terms since the fourth quarter of 2008. The value of equities alone fell $4.6 trillion during the quarter but this was partly offset by gains in the value of real estate and other assets, the report said. Declining stock prices in December ate into consumer confidence and coincided with sharp drops in retail sales. –– AFP

Ben Allen (26th District, including West Los Angeles, Hollywood and South Bay) will be the guest of the Bel Air Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council (BABCNC) from 7-9 p.m. next Thursday, March 14, at the Skirball Center. The BABCNC represents the hillside areas from the 405 Freeway on the west to Laurel Canyon on the east. Hillside development is a hot topic in the area, which has been besieged with megamansion developments. Oversized spec homes are degrading the hillsides, the streets and the neighborhoods, and ruining the quality of life of the residents. Residents are also watching several large-scale proposed developments that they will be able to address. These include the proposed hotel in Benedict Canyon and the L.A. Berggruen Institute Campus planned on 447 acres near Mountain Gate Country Club and the Mission Canyon Regional Park, located on a 500-acre landfill. Allen will be able to answer questions about legislation in Sacramento, including the controversial SB827, which would ease density, parking and height restrictions near “major transit stops,” defined as anywhere a bus stops at 15-minute intervals. He will be asked about the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project
along the 405 freeway, between the San Fernando Valley and LAX; FAA plans to reroute flights from Hollywood Burbank Airport over Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Bel Air. “Some of the questions we’ll be asking Senator Allen will be related to unchecked development in the hills that compromises safety and degrades the environment,” said Robin Greenberg, president of BABCNC. “How do we protect open space, wildlife, ecosystems and other natural community resources when these all have been and continue to be compromised by development? What would be the single most impactful piece of environmental legislation the state could enact?” Residents are encouraged to come to the meeting with questions. Neighborhood Councils were established in 1991 “to promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs,” according to the Los Angeles City Charter. The BABCNC encourages stakeholders, including people who live, work, own property or have some other connection to a neighborhood such as a church or business, to sign up to be a candidate in their upcoming elections. Sign up ends March 19. Elections will be held June 2 at Harvard Westlake, and everyone is encouraged to vote.

Newton Howard’s work, underwritten by and dedicated to Maurice Marciano, was written for and spotlights Principal Cello Andrew Shulman. Kahane also leads Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 14, conducting from the keyboard, and Symphony No. 36, "Linz.” LACO Principal TimpaniPercussion Wade Culbreath takes center stage on marimba for Gabriella Smith's AT VITORIA—Marcia Riman Selz celebrated the 2019 launch of her book At Vitoria on February 24, 2019. Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz presented Selz with a certificate of congratulations. At Vitoria includes the story of how, in 1492 when Jews are expelled from Spain, the Christians of Vitoria take an oath to preserve the Jewish cemetery. Almost 500 years later, when the Christians want to build apartments on cemetery land, this promise draws raw emotions from both Christians and Jews. At Vitoria is available online at the Archway Publishing Online Bookstore, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Riprap for marimba and strings. Kahane, who grew up in Beverly Hills , is equally at home at the keyboard, on the podium Jeffrey Kahane and as a soloist with major orchestras around the world.

CELEBRATING THE TRIUMPH OF MUSIC—Next year’s Violins of Hope project will feature Gary Greene (left), founder/conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a concert at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, and Noreen Green, (right) artistic director of the the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, opening the concert series March 22, 2020 at The Soraya at Cal State Northridge. Beverly Hills’ Suzanne Reyno (center) is chair of the month-long program.
Violins Of Hope, Bringing HolocaustRescued Instruments For Concerts, Education And Exhibit Next Year By Steve Simmons Four symphonic orchestras, a major heritage museum and one of Los Angeles’ leading performing arts centers will join forces in 2020 for an ambitious collaborative initiative that will bring to life the sounds of music once lost. Violins of Hope is an internationally renowned project created to celebrate the triumph of the human spirit. At the heart of Violins of Hope is a collection of more than 60 stringed instruments rescued from the Holocaust and restored by second-generation violinmaker, Amnon Weinstein, and his son, Avshalom in their shop in Tel Aviv. The Nazis burned, smashed, looted and confiscated the possessions of millions. But some precious pieces remained. Many musical instruments survived when their owners did not. Many more were lost or abandoned as their owners escaped the war. And when the Allies liberated Europe in 1945, hope remained. For Moshe and Golda’s son, Amnon Weinstein, that hope manifested in the thin wooden bodies of violins, violas and cellos rescued from the Holocaust. Now, this unique collection will come to L.A. for the first time March 22 to April 26, 2020 for a month-long series of concerts, exhibits, and student educational programming at several L.A. cultural institutions. Each concert in the Violins of Hope series will feature performers and soloists using instruments from the Weinstein’s collection. “Before each concert the soloist will hold up the instrument to show it’s actually being played,” says Beverly Hills resident Susanne Reyto, the chair of Violins of Hope, Los Angeles County. She is responsible for working with Weinstein to bring the violins to the region. “We’re bringing the voice back to instruments that were silenced.” Reyto jumped at the opportunity to take part in the program since her mis-
sion “is to educate about what transpired and prevent it from happening again.” Born just six days before the Nazi occupation of Hungary in March of 1944, her childhood experiences and her difficult escape from Communist Hungary in the late 1950s are chronicled in her memoir, Pursuit of Freedom. “Kids don’t learn history; and to just give historical data is boring. Educating through music and culture penetrates better than a textbook,” says Reyno who served as the chair of the City of Hope Board of Governors, a board member of the Beverly Hills Women’s Club, and president of Hadassah Los Angeles and ZOA Western Region. She sees the initiative as a threepronged project with concerts, also featuring the Rotterdam Philharmonic with Nelson Freire and the Jerusalem Quartet, the education component with artist-inresidence and Northridge native Niv Ashkenazi, the only individual musician in North American entrusted with one of the collection’s rescued violins, sharing the instrument at more than 40 schools; and an exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. Approximately 30 instruments will come to L.A. including some violas and cellos. Among the violins coming are the Dachau violin, played by an inmate who survived and lived to 88; the Bielski klezmer violin, named for partisans who saved 1,230 Jews during the war; a gypsy violin that was buried in snow, and the Auschwitz violin, owned by an inmate who played in the men’s orchestra—and survived. “A lot of people don’t realize that Auschwitz had several orchestras,” says Reyto. “There was a popular music orchestra that played at 5 p.m. tea for the officers’ enjoyment.” For a complete concert schedule and ticket information visit, https://www.thesoraya.org/violinsofhopela.

Annual Blue Ribbon Children’s Festival Returned To Music Center This Week
The Blue Ribbon Children’s Festival relies on its passionate volunteers to make the annual free arts festival a success for 18,000 Los Angeles fifth graders.
By Laura Coleman Nearly 18,000 L.A. County fifth graders descended on The Music Center over three days to experience the performing arts this week as part of the annual Blue Ribbon Children’s Festival. Now in its 49th year, the event draws from nearly 200 schools across the county, often giving children their first opportunity to see a live performance and hopefully engendering a life-long passion for the arts. “The Blue Ribbon Children’s Festival is such an important highlight on The Blue Ribbon calendar,” said Jill Baldauf, Blue Ribbon president. “Our continuing goal as Blue Ribbon members is to help enrich the lives of the greater Los Angeles community. We know arts education improves all edu-
cation.” Chaired by Karen Bedrosian Coyne and Cheryl Petersen, this year’s festival featured a performance by the wildly innovative Australian dance company Circa Contemporary Circus in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. All students who participate in the festival received a keepsake book, A Journey Through The Music Center. Prior to the Festival, The Blue Ribbon and The Music Center‘s education team developed and provided schools with standards-based curriculum materials, background on the guest artists and classroom activities to prepare students for the performance. Students also learned and practiced their own dance, which they performed together during the festival.

THE FASHION OF BEVERLY HILLS
Allen Ruppersberg Exhibit On View At Marc Selwyn Fine Art Through March 23 By Laura Coleman It what may well be L.A. artist Allen Ruppersberg’s most auto-biographical show to date, “What a Strange Day” at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in Beverly Hills is an intimate window into the world of one of the world’s original conceptual artists. The central focus of the exhibition is an 11-by-33-foot autobiographical installation, “Background/Foreground: A Memoir,” papering the main gallery wall with over 1,000 images of objects from the artist’s life. An obsessive collector of memorabilia Americana, the work offers a startling glimpse into the frenzied nature of an artist seemingly convinced that all material can potentially serve an artistic purpose. Overlaid atop the “Memoir” is a multi-column index which tells the viewer on which page of his memoir hundreds of references can be found. For example, one can find references to “Selwyn, Marc” on page 201 and 240; “Dada” is found on pages 47, 86 and 150. The only twist is that no actual memoir exists. “The memoir is imagined,” explained gallery owner Marc Selwyn. “He’s a very subversive artist; always trying to throw you off.” Among the standout pieces in the

exhibition is a series of four new works made in 2018, each titled “What a Strange Day it has Been,” which merge “normal” American scenes with “singular” historic events. The exhibition, which runs through March 23, coincides with the artist’s retrospective now at the Hammer Museum through May 12, “Intellectual Property 1968-2018.” A first generation California conceptual artist, Selwyn said Ruppersberg had meaningful relationships with John Baldessari, Allan McCollum, William Leavitt and many other conceptualists.

Italian Entrepreneur Emanuele Ponzo Looks To Make His Mark With Crateful By Laura Coleman Like millions of immigrants before him, Italian-born Emanuele Ponzo came to the U.S. in pursuit of the American Dream. For him, there was no greater achievement than finding success in the world of Beverly Hills. A former professional soccer player turned attorney turned culinary entrepreneur, Ponzo founded Crateful Catering (www.cratefulcatering.com) in order to bring delicious and healthful Italian-inspired dishes to businesses and individual homes. With a kitchen led by Luciano Pellegrini, a James Beard Award-winning chef who creates taste bud-tantalizing dishes like Urbani Black Truffle Burrata Bruschetta and Maine Lobster Tartare, Crateful is finding increasing favor across L.A. Last year Crateful won
the Best of Beverly Hills Golden Palm Award for B u s i n e s s Excellence. “I’m doing this because I believe that there is no greater gift than delivering delicious and healthy food; and there is no better city in the world to do this in than Beverly Hills,” Ponzo said, noting that he has already amassed a bevy of Rodeo Drive boutiques and celebrities as clients. “Eighty percent of our clients are in Beverly Hills.”

According to the district’s website, a traffic mitigation study for the three transformed schools is now underway with recommendations expected to be shared at the end of the month or the beginning of next month. Beyond the logistics of actually getting the students to and from the buildings, the reconfigured schools will undeniably offer a wealth of academic and social opportunities for the district’s younger students that simply weren’t available before due to a lack of critical mass. “I’m really, really excited about what we’re offering. It’s definitely student-centered,” said Horace Mann Principal Juliet Fine, who together with Hawthorne Principal Sarah Kaber will be responsible for educating the district’s K-5 students. “Students are really going to have a lot of opportunities, not just with curriculum, but also developing their mind, body and spirit.” At the middle school, which will be led by Principal Kevin Allen, students have the opportunity to choose from 37 different electives, in addition to getting access to all of the classes they need on campus. (Currently, middle school students who want to take geometry need to do so at the high school.)

”Think about the pathways that have never existed until now; I mean, we are building those pathways out,” Allen said in reference to the upcoming synergy that will begin to grow between the middle school and high school. In addition to significantly enhanced elective offerings, the new middle school boasts an increase in classroom time from 50 minutes to a full hour of instructional time per class. “We are really pushing the amount of instruction that the kids get,” said Allen, underscoring that by moving toward project-based learning, students will be able to engage and learn in a dynamic environment. “It’s going to be a very enriched hour.” As part of the process to reconfigure, Assistant Superintendent of Education Services Dustin Seemann said that the district would save $3.8 million following the reduction of 28 full time employees (or the equivalent). At the moment, the actual name of the new middle school appears to remain in flux, despite several members of the board previously having told Superintendent Michael Bregy that Beverly Vista’s name ought not be changed. “We’ve tabled that conversation of what the full name of the school will be,” he told the board with nary a word of protest from one member on the dais. “But it is a middle school.” Born in New York to a family steeped in the garment industry, Newmark arrived in Beverly Hills at age 13 and after graduating from BHHS, earned a bachelor’s degree at UCLA. He then entered the banking industry before joining up with Carroll & Co. in 1989 and becoming its general manager two years later. “I am excited to join up with Reza Shekarchin and Yasmine Farmanara at Avedon,” stated Newmark. “Bespoke at Avedon will attempt to set a new fashion trend in our City and one that I’m very excited to bring here.”

additional height will increase it to over 72 feet, including mechanical housing. The shade and shadow will affect their homes, according to expert testimony during the hearing, for more than the three-hour period required to be a significant impact. Their homes are on the alley, which they claim is often impassible due to truck traffic and loading. During construction, one lane of Crescent Drive would be closed. At the same time, Metro will have Canon Drive closed off, the 9200 Wilshire Boulevard construction will be underway and the traffic will begin flowing towards the new middle school at
Beverly Vista. At the same time, it is unknown where the City will establish the north portal of the Metro project. Traffic will likely be gridlocked. The North Rexford homeowners truly appreciate the Planning Commission's scrutiny of this project,” said attorney Robert Silverstein, who represents some of the homeowners. “It’s intrusiveness and looming height, the simultaneous street closures, the inadequate parking, the darkness it would cast on the homes for hours more per day, and its negative precedent all cry out for a ‘no’ vote.”
WHAT YOU DO MATTERS
resurgence of rising anti-Semitism, extremism, dangerous propaganda on the Internet and on college campuses, and Holocaust denial. Co-Chaired by Nancy Mishkin, Janet and Lenny Rosenblatt, and Carol and Jac Stulberg, the dinner supported the museum’s $1 billion comprehensive campaign “Never Again: What You Do Matters,” which allows the Museum to make critical investments to keep Holocaust memory alive as a relevant, transformative force in the 21st century. Actress Lisa Edelstein served as emcee for the evening. In the 25 years since it opened, the Museum has educated and inspired more than 43 million visitors, including more than 10 million children and nearly 100 heads of state. A permanent reminder on the National Mall in Washington of what can occur when the world fails to act, the Museum inspires citizens and leaders alike to confront hate and indifference, end genocide and promote human dignity.

RENT STABILIZATION (Continued from page 1)
Councilmember Lili Bosse initially sided with the results that had come from the public process, 2-2-1, for a total of 5 commissioners. “Landlords and tenants came up with the idea. They did this. They had their own… roundtable… We need to make sure the people who sit on it are fair and not extreme.” Several iterations were proposed, and the 2-2-2 structure was settled upon. A question on the application drew some attention from tenants. “Have you ever been evicted from a residential real property?” Tenants requested that the alternative – “Have you ever evicted a tenant?” be incorporated for landlords. City Council members agreed. Meetings will be held in the evenings to ensure that people who work during the day may attend. The new commission has been tasked with deciding some of the most contentious issues of the RSO, issues that City Council members did not decide themselves. Those issues include deciding relocation fees for tenants who are evicted when an owner decides to move a family member into the unit; maximum allowable annual rent increases: evaluating the current relocation fees, which

twice as many pedestrians recorded in August (188,524) when BOLD was happening ib Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, than in October (89,021) when BOLD did not take place. It is unclear if foot traffic is an end to itself, and thus, a metric of success. Bosse, who initiated the BOLD program when she was mayor two years ago, reiterated her reasoning. First, she said, for years, the hotel general managers were sending guests to other shopping areas after 6 p.m. because the stores are closed in Beverly Hills. This remains true except on Thursday, Friday and Saturday during August and Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the holiday month, Thanksgiving to Christmas. The other problem included the competition from the multimillion-dollar remodel of Century City’s Westfield Mall, the Beverly Center and the Grove. In order to remain “relevant” and “vibrant,” she said, the City needed to create an “experience” on Rodeo Drive. Bosse persuaded merchants on Rodeo Drive to participate, secured a budget for the Rodeo Drive Committee (RDC), the Conference and
fall far below fees in neighboring Santa Monica and West Hollywood, as well as determining the fees for a 3-bedroom or larger unit; and allowable pass-throughs, fees attached to the rent that do not increase with annual rent increases. Among those potentially considered are the water reliability fees, seismic retrofitting, refuse collection and RSO registration fees. They will also discuss modifying the major remodeling thresholds for which an owner can evict a tenant. Currently, the threshold is very low, having been set more than a decade ago. One issue, the “probationary tenant” issue, would allow a landlord to evict a tenant at the end of the first year of tenancy without explanation or relocation fees. This concept was introduced on the dais by Vice Mayor John Mirisch, though it was never a part of any of the mediated discussions. It was solely the creation of the Council. Not a single landlord defended it. Yet it is still among those issues to be considered by the commission. City staff could seek a mediator, such as Professor Sukhsimranjit Singh, Managing Director, Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution and Law Professor at Pepperdine University Malibu, who conducted mediated dialogues between tenants and landlords over the past two years. Establishing a Rent
Stabilization Commission Ordinance is the first step in the process. There will be a second reading, which will take place at the City Council meeting April 2, following the Mar. 20 reorganization. The ordinance will become law 30 days later. Applications will be made available for the commission positions sometime after the second reading. Normally, commissioners are selected by a liaison committee of two City Council members and two commission members. Because the commission is just forming, and because the commission is currently only tasked with completing the RSO, councilmembers discussed the process because, due to Brown Act constraints, only two members of the council can interview together. At one point, the discussion included filming the interviews and sharing them with the rest of the council and the public. Resident Mark Elliot, founder of the Renters Alliance, pointed out that to be fair, all interviews would then have to be filmed and made public, including employment interviews. The Council then decided that there will be two panels of two council members each, who will interview the applicants. They will bring their selections to the council meet-
ing and present them. The two councilmembers selected to be on the RSO subcommittee are currently Mayor Julian Gold and Councilmember Lili Bosse. That could change with the Council Reorganization, as the new Mayor can create his or her own appointments. Two more panel members will then be selected to serve on the selection committee for the nine commissioners and alternates. Once selected, both the commissioners and the alternates will be required to attend meetings in order to be continually informed of developments in the event that the alternates may have to sit in for the commissioners. The City Council was keenly concerned that there be an equal mix so that neither side, landlords or tenants, has a majority. A quorum will consist of an equal number of representatives from each side plus two at-large commissioners, thus 2-2-2. Too many absences could result in dismissal. Tie decisions will be sent back to City Council. All nine commissioners and alternates will engage in the discussions on these issues. Only the commissioners can vote on them, however. Their recommendations will then come back to the City Council for finalization and a vote to complete the Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. That first summer was a success and it was continued for the holiday season. With Gold as mayor, the CVB, the RDC and the Chamber posed a FridaySaturday only BOLD, and produced modest budgets. The City Council, without any statement of a desired outcome and metrics to measure, doubled the budget and added back Thursdays. BOLD has concentrated nearly exclusively on Rodeo Drive, neglecting other areas of the City that could possibly benefit, such as South Santa Monica Boulevard, Robertson Boulevard and South Beverly Drive, except during Next Night. Councilmember Bob Wunderlich and Councilmember Les Friedman, though agreeing to continue the program for 2019, expressed concerns that the metrics should be clearer. “I think it’s great we’re trying to collect data,” said Wunderlich, calling foot traffic, posts and impressions “fuzzy.” Wunderlich would like to “drill down” to get specific relevant time periods and geographic areas. Wunderlich also said that success was perhaps beyond numbers, “changing
perceptions and demographics of what is possible in Beverly Hills. If we don’t do things consistent with our brand Beverly Hills will become stagnant,” he said. He also wants to see BOLD on Canon Drive, which will become a cul-de-sac at the Wilshire Boulevard intersection next month as part of the Purple Line construction. Friedman agreed. He wanted to see BOLD “contract in some areas and expand in others.” He also wanted more data. The City Council Study Session commenced one hour early in anticipation of a heavy Closed Session agenda. Prior to the BOLD item, Mayor Gold reminded councilmembers that they had a “hard stop at 4:45 p.m.” Despite a “keep it short” drumbeat coming from Mayor Julian Gold, the presentation on BOLD metrics and request for direction whether to begin planning for Summer BOLD 2019 lasted more than an hour. Nonetheless, marching out total “foot traffic” counts, the report relied heavily on statistics that did not demonstrate a correlation between the money spent on BOLD and any increases in foot traffic, Transient Occupancy Tax, or sales tax within the City. There is, however, a direct reference to BOLD activities
found in social media impressions. To date, the City Council has not referenced a specific metric for success. Councilmember Lili Bosse spent more than 10 minutes on a prepared speech that reiterated all that had been said previously in the staff report. One top discussed was the August vs. October foot traffic a success metric. It is a count of pedestrian foot traffic, showing that people were walking on Rodeo Drive. It is unclear if that is the measure of success the Council is seeking, or how it benefits the City. Resident Robbie Anderson, who claims to represent several landowners on Rodeo Drive including Bernard Arnault of LVMH, owners of 295, 319323, 420, and the former Brooks Brothers location, purchased last December at 456 N. Rodeo. (Arnault also purchased the Paley Center property last November. Rumors are there is a plan for a hotel connecting 456 N. Rodeo with the property) objects to BOLD on Rodeo Drive. Anderson has also opposed the café table seating on Rodeo Drive. He contends that the culture of Rodeo Drive is exclusive, with clients who prefer anonymity and discretion. BOLD is antithetical to the image and culture of Rodeo
March 8, 2019 | Page 19 Duties of the new commissioners following the finalization of the RSO, could include hearings for hardship cases and relocation fees, determining a disruptive tenant eviction and arbitrating landlord-tenant issues. Until the Rent Stabilization is completed and subsequently, the RSO is finalized, Disruptive Tenant hearings will fall to the subcommittee of two City Council members. When the RSO comes back to the City Council with the recommendations from the commission, council members will decide what tasks the commission will perform going forward and they could also revisit the makeup of the Commission. In 2013, the City of Beverly Hills began to look at the rental environment following a series of events that highlighted the plight of the tenants. Annual rent increases of 10 percent had been established during the Carter Administration, when the country was experiencing double-digit inflation. Tenants were evicted for no cause without relocation fees. Elderly residents that had spent decades in place were being forced out of their homes and neighborhoods. Disabled residents and those with families whose children attended the public schools were also being displaced.
Drive, says Anderson, and in fact, is harmful to the image of exclusivity. The BOLD discussion was followed by an agenda item to rquest direction on the Greystone Theatre Project, and there was no time left for La Cienega Park. Hundreds of residents and stakeholders have participated in the community outreach on the future of La Cienega Park. A community outreach meeting last week attracted nearly 50 stakeholders who participated in giving feedback on the preliminary plans for the park and recreation center. Despite the fact that the architects, Jim Favaro and Steve Johnson, were among those waiting to weigh in on the proposed improvements, the mayor closed the meeting and the council retreated to their closed session. On March 20, the City Council will undergo the annual reorganization, and Julian Gold will step down as mayor. Vice Mayor John Mirisch is expected to be elected to the position of Mayor. The item cannot be heard until the next city council meeting. The soonest is April 2 and then April 16. The public is invited to attend the reorganization on March 20 at 7 p.m. at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

An Op-Ed From Robert K. Tanenbaum
Beverly Hills Planning Commission And Planning Staff Run Amok On Feb. 28, the Planning Commission conducted an evening session inside the City Council chamber. The purpose of the scheduled meeting was to afford the developer and the residents a due process hearing on a proposed non-code compliant project located at 100 N. Crescent Dr. The development proposes rezoning the existing three story code limitation to provide for a five story structure, notwithstanding limited parking and serious concerns regarding, inter alia, shade, shadow, sheer bulk issues, and spot zoning. The project directly abuts seven houses on Rexford Drive and is smack in a residential neighborhood. It is humongous in size, dwarfing the entire neighborhood and does violence to maintaining neighborhood quality of life and integrity. Based upon its sheer size, and requiring accommodating spot zoning in a residential neighborhood, suggests that a reasonable city planner would deny the applicant’s request. Yet, the following occurred: The meeting started at 7 p.m. For the next 1 hour and 20 minutes, the Planning Department staff and developer engaged in discussing attempts at mitigating the project’s adverse impacts. Nothing was mentioned regarding the negative aspects, per se, of spot zoning and its precedent-setting commercial intrusion into the residential neighborhood. Rather, the conversation, the exchanges between staff and the commissioners and developer/applicant sounded much more like “let’s make a deal” than facing the realities the project, with its undue burdens, imposes on the residents in our community. While no one should question the right of a developer to be provided a fair, due process hearing, the question is what is the process that’s due? Not until 1 hour and 20 minutes transpired, did a resident have an opportunity to participate in the hearing. However, at no time during which a resident addressed the planning commissioners did one commissioner engage with the resident. Not one comment nor question was the resident asked during or after the resident’s remarks. Instead, it was the typical and offensive, dismissive, perfunctory and obligatory manner in which these hearings and residents are disrespected. While the staff and commissioners attempted to negotiate with the developer, like sculptors creating an acceptable project in their collective opinions, the residents are ignored, being simply observers to the potential destruction of their neighborhood and the quiet use and enjoyment of their homes. In fact, the City Council chamber was literally packed with fellow residents. Many of those in attendance chose not to address the commissioners but sat attentively. Moreover, they sought to exercise their
First Amendment rights by applauding momentarily and respectfully without interrupting the proceedings when a resident speaker addressed the commissioners supporting their position in opposition to the project. Sadly, the Planning Commission chair admonished those clapping–directing them to desist from such conduct and threatening to expel them from the chamber. Talk about rude, inappropriate and abusive conduct! The chamber is, always has been, and will continue to be the “peoples” chamber (i.e.: the residents’ public square). The residents well understand that civil order and proper decorum are required and essential, but non-disruptive, respectful hand-clapping has always been accepted as an expression of agreement and support. What happens to some fellow residents who serve as commissioners and councilmembers? Do they forget who and why they serve? Don’t they realize that for the City Council, Planning Commission and attendant staff to serve meaningfully and effectively, all must have the support of the community; for without community support, all that is done is mere nullity. To respect and encourage resident participation and due process rights during these meetings, residents should be heard from at the outset with the commissioners engaging with them – a true give and take. Then the staff and applicant have their presentations with the residents given an opportunity to rebut not repeat, that which was presented by the applicant and staff. When an applicant presents a development that exceeds existing zoning limitations and is located in a residential neighborhood, the City is obligated to engage in a “strict scrutiny” of the project. Presumptively, it is a no go. However, if there is a compelling City interest to rebut the presumption, then it may be permissible with certain limitations. To date, the City has not found, nor has it articulated any such compelling interest. Virtually almost all of the residents who attended the meeting and packed the City Council chamber, also found no compelling interest. What they did find was that the project in its entirety is located in the wrong place. If the commissioners truly understood that they are trustees of the public trust, that they speak for the community, they should pay proper deference to their fellow residents and act accordingly both during the due process hearing and when rendering final judgment. Mr. Tanenbaum is a former prosecutor, best selling author, mayor of Beverly Hills, and current president of the Beverly Hills North Homeowners Association
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Here we go again. I appeared Tuesday at the City Council study session as the councilmembers were seeking approval of funding for the summer and winter BOLD (businesses open later days) extravaganza. The City had a staff report which was 28 pages long and had some members of the Rodeo Drive Committee, the CVB and the Chamber of Commerce there to speak on this item. Of course, the City gives or approves giving them money to do their bidding in carrying out the BOLD agenda The way they twisted the numbers you would think that BOLD created an increase in hotel room sales and shopping revenue for the whole City. I asked them not to do anything with BOLD until all the expenses were discussed and before giving a free rein to a couple of City Council members with an agenda. Last year, the City Council spent between $4 and $5 million thinking that by throwing more money at this fiasco would make it succeed. I know the council was presented alternative and elegant options for the Rodeo Drive holiday decorations but, instead, decided Rodeo Drive needed a carnival atmosphere along with those atrocious lights and boxes. If we want to throw parties to create business for the merchants and restaurants do it on Canon Drive with restaurants to dine in and because that is where the subway access is going to be and the base of Canon and Wilshire will be closed shortly for years to come. Plastic flowers and astroturf do not add elegance
to Beverly HillsWhy are these boxes still up? Why do these boxes have the term BOLD BH or #BOLDBH? Why don’t they say beverlyhills.org instead of promoting certain councilmembers’ agendas. I know the City was given contacts at the major houses of luxury retailers which are a majority on Rodeo Drive. Have they been contacted and have meetings set up because if we do something like last year, they would want say in that. Wilshire Boulevard will be virtually closed soon for Metro construction and that should do “wonders” for business. And, by the way, if the City Council goes forward with this, we hope it respects our City’s sign and not put those tacky, three dimensional things in front of it. Tourists come to have their picture taken at the sign without that BOLD statement in front of it. Robert S. “Robbie” Anderson ****** Setting the date of the installation of the new mayor to coincide with the festive evening of Purim was obviously a mistake. It is not important to track down the source of this mistake. The fact that it wasn't “caught” until it was too late to be corrected is most unfortunate. I consider this a “slap in the face” to the Jewish residents of our City. Why must we have to choose between two most enjoyable events? Since it's not possible to dance at two weddings (chasunahs), one of these dates should be changed. Since the date of Purim was set 2,500 years ago–in my humble opinion–the installation date deserves to be changed. Rabbi Simcha A. Green

Astrology
By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Mar. 8). Love will be your wealth and your delight. You'll be supported when you need it, when you ask for it, and in ways that do more than take you one step further. Also, your mind is especially keen going into this year. You've a Sherlock Holmes-like capacity for solving mysteries and life will give you fun ones to solve. Libra and Taurus adore you. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). The temptation will be to skip the brainstorm and go straight to solving the problem. If you brainstorm first though, you'll have a more well-rounded, interesting and creative solution. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr.19). Counterintuitive tactics will work wonders for you now. For instance, you may have to stop talking in order to get your message across. (You can blame the Mercury retrograde for that one!) TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). It will be hard to separate the thing itself and the way it's done, and maybe you shouldn't even try. The person with warmth and a pleasant attitude makes experience so sweet. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just think of what you could learn from the champions of your field. Though they may not be readily available, the best they have to give is out there somewhere, probably in book form. You'll be rewarded for taking initiative. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have dear friends that make simple things, like going to the supermarket, or watching a game, all the more fun. Your higher-maintenance friendships are valuable, too, in a different way. Both have a place in your weekend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You've seen it time and again. Someone with a moderate amount of ability who works hard and smart will always win over a superior talent who doesn't apply herself. Share the lesson. Encourage and/or warn those who need it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Vary your mode of action. Be a moving target, but not just moving quickly forward, zig and zag unpredictably. You'll excite the crowd, and lose your competition all at once. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The bad part about being a celebrity is that the station arouses all sorts of exaggerated expectations that can never be met. So don't strive for that sort of status. Play it low-key. Come up from the bottom. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Luxuries are more of a risk, of course, than practical items. They may be worth a lot, but if you ever have to sell them, your pool of possible buyers will be much smaller than you'll have for affordable, practical goods. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The options may seem evenly matched in the “pros and cons” department. But don't you get the feeling that one will make for a much better story? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're not frail, but there is frailty in you, just like there is in all. Softer, weaker moments will be mixed in with ones in which you show up powerfully. Vulnerability connects us. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be essential to work with others and pay attention to their moves. The best way is if you can check each other's input for mistakes. Not only will you collectively have a better product, you'll be stronger as a team.
