Cerritos Council approves restaurant to replace closed Black Angus in Best Plaza

Rendering of “Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant” approved by the Cerritos city council at its Aug. 12 meeting. The restaurant will replace the closed Black Angus Restaurant that will be demolished in September.

Little India vendors Cerritos awarded step up security to ease “Playful City USA” shoppers'concerns once again

By Brian Hews Little India vendors have been meeting with deputies from the Lakewood Sheriff Department to address the rash of robberies that have occurred in the area.

Artesia City Manager Maria Dadian said the City and City Council was working closely with the Sheriff’s Department to keep tabs on the situation and directing resources to that end.

Sgt. Knapp from the Lakewood Sheriff’s Department indicated that the incidents were random and the police have not come up with any definite patterns.

Police are urging all vendors to install alarm and security systems. The LAPD has also indicated they would help work on the open cases.

The vendors have come together and hired their own private security; armed guards patrolling the area on bicycles in the evening between 5 pm and 10 pm.

They have also hired car patrolling services from 10 pm to 6 am.

By Shelley Henderson At its regular meeting on August 17, the Norwalk City Council approved a two-part agenda item that amended the general fund and awarded a contract to replace the non-working Civic Center marquee.

Mayor Gordon Stefenhagen expressed his frustration at the length of time that the marquee has not worked.

After the Council unanimously approved both the budget amendment and a contract with California Marquee in the amount of $31,818.02 to replace the marquee, city staff stated that the new marquee is expected to be installed and working by October.

Hawaiian Gardens Council splits over moving forward on sports complex

By Jerry Bernstein

News Services WASHINGTON, D.C. – To ensure children in their communities are active and healthy, 118 cities and towns across the country, including Cerritos earned recognition as 2010 Playful City USA communities despite difficult budgetary decisions and Park and Recreation department funding at its lowest levels in decades. Other local cities receiving the award wewre Baldwin Park and Lakewood.

According to a report from the National League of Cities, 7 in 10 city officials are responding to the economic crisis by making personnel cuts, while a pre-summer National Recreation and Parks Association survey found that 55% of its members suffered budget cuts in 2010 and 60% expect more in 2011.

These funding cutbacks persist despite findings from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey that only 20% of homes across the country have parks within a half mile.

Norwalk City Council approves money for new marquee

Accusation and misstatements about the proposed Sports Complex to be built on the athletic field of Fedde Middle School opened the Aug. 13 Hawaiian Gardens budget session.

Former Councilmember and Mayor Kathy Navejas who no longer lives in the city opened the meeting with a tirade accusing Mayor Victor Farfan and Councilmember Mike Gomez, saying they were appointed to the council by “the thugs” who were on the previous council and were not elected.

Gomez refuted her comments, stating in 2007 four people took out papers to run for the city council. However, only he and the Mayor filed them. He said under state law, when only two candidates file to fill two vacant council seats they are automatically named to fill them. There is no need to hold an election.

Navejas also called for an investigation of the city finances by the state and county, accusing the city of not being funded properly. She stated there was only $5 million in the city’s reserve.

“Yet, the majority on the council want to

build an $8 million sports complex,” that she said will deplete the city’s reserve.”

She asked where the fiscal responsibility was.

Navejas who was recalled from the council because of widespread corruption in city hall, said the only councilmember with fiscal integrity was Barry Bruce, who she described as the only one on the council fighting for the people.

Hawaiian Gardens resident Rose Gomez, and wife of Councilman Gomez said she didn’t understand why there was opposition to the Sports Complex, especially when the money was there. She [See HAWAIIAN GARDENS Page 13]

Twenty-three Part I felony crimes were investigated by Cerritos Sheriff’s Station personnel last week, down from twenty-eight the previous reporting period. Robberies, commercial burglaries, and vehicle thefts were up, while residential and vehicle burglaries were down. There were 304 calls for service handled by patrol deputies, down from 330 the week before.

The 2010 weekly average in calls for service is 302.

eventually subdued outside of the store in the 20200 block of Bloomfield Avenue.

One residential burglary was investigated last week compared to six the previous one. An open sliding glass door was used as the point of entry. Jewelry, a laptop computer, and a cell phone were stolen. The current 2010 weekly average in residential burglaries is 2.2.

We tend to experience more windows and doors left open during the summer months as residents attempt to keep their homes cool. As mentioned, the case last week was attributed to unsecured door. The harder you make it for a burglar to enter your house, the less likely that he or she will. Take the time to make sure that everything is closed and locked up before leaving. The brief amount of time spent doing this could save much more in the long run There was one commercial burglary and a detached structure burglary reported last week, up by one from the previous week. Mountain bikes were taken from an unlocked garage and a closed business was targeted after a front office window was shattered. Computers, monitors, and laptops were removed. The 2010 weekly average in commercial burglaries is 2.7.

Vehicle burglaries were down slightly from seven the week before to six for this reporting period.

High-volume commercial parking lots were involved in all six. All six of the vehicles last week were SUVs, two victims reported stereo items missing, and two listed GPS units as the loss. Other items stolen were purses, debit cards, and third row seats. The new 2010 weekly average in vehicle burglaries is now 7.0.

Window smashes continue to be the most frequent means of entering the vehicles in these thefts. Remember that only a very thin layer of glass separates the thief from your valuable property. Your visible property can be seen, the window smashed, and the items stolen in five seconds or less. Don’t leave these items in your vehicle. Leave them at home, or lock them in the trunk if you absolutely must have them in the car.

Vehicle thefts rose from five to seven last week. All of the cases were from high-volume commercial parking lots. Five involved SUVs, and two tractor/trailers were taken.

The 2010 weekly average in vehicle thefts is now 4.8.

A visible deterrent, such as a steering wheel locking device, will tell the would-be thief to look elsewhere.

A letter from the Artesia City Council

Sarah Palin used Twitter to share some advice with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the talk radio host who apologized and decided to retire from her highly-rated program after using the N-word on the air 11 times in 5 minutes.

Palin's advice: "don't retreat...reload!"

It's a breathtakingly tone-deaf bit of provocation even by Palin's standards.

Dr. Laura, as she's known on her radio program, quickly came under fire for her remarks of a week ago. She immediately acknowledged the mistake and soon announced that she would end the show once her contract expires later this year.

She currently commands the largest audience of any woman in syndicated talk radio and overall her ratings are among the top five hosts in the nation.

Palin, once the governor of Alaska and Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, has been using social me-

We, the Artesia City Council, are completely conscious of the difficulties and hardships that have resulted from our recent budget decisions, and we want you to know that we have not made these decisions lightly.

When the economic recession started, two years ago, the City Council and staff began cutting department budgets and looking for additional ways to save money, without significantly cutting programs and services nor dipping into our reserves. We implemented the following measures: • Enacted budget cuts for all City departments • Delayed hiring employees to fill key managerial and staff vacancies • Executed furloughs for City employees 2 times/month (10% pay reduction) • Closed Artesia City Hall twice a

dia sites like Facebook and Twitter to push her messages in recent months.

She fired out two messages about Dr. Laura on Wednesday night, the first reading: Dr.Laura:don't retreat...reload!

That was quickly followed by: Dr.Laura even more powerful & effective without the shackles, so watch out constitutional obstructionists and be thankful for her voice America!

It's scary to think we just had a vice presidential nominee who doesn't understand the Constitution, who thinks Schlessinger's First Amendment rights "ceased 2exist" because she was criticized for haranguing a black woman who called for advice, using the N-word 11 times.

Again, Gov. Palin, the First Amendment protects us from government infringing on our speech rights; it doesn't take away other Americans' right to criticize.

This isn't the first time a Palin tweet related to the First Amendment has generated controversy. Last month, she called on Muslims to "refudiate" Park 51's construction of Cordoba House, the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque."

That was followed by a series of tweets directed toward President Barack Obama, acknowledging that the Muslim group has the right to build ... "but should they?" Palin acknowledged Park 51's rights. She acknowledged Dr. Laura's rights. She questioned Park 51's wisdom. So far, she hasn't questioned Dr. Laura's wisdom. Dr. Laura's actions ending her show may have said more than Palin's words. And maybe even "refudiated" them.

month • Reduced budgets for City-sponsored special events and programs We also looked for ways to increase our City’s revenue, including increasing application and user fees, and we placed two measures on the November 2009 ballot to seek your approval for an increase in hotel taxes and business license fees.

However, the City Council had to dip into our general fund reserves to balance the budget. On July 1, 2008, we had a very healthy reserve of $3.6 million, almost 40% of our overall budget! We used over $1 million of the reserve over the past two years to balance our budgets, and, today, we are down to $2.6 million in reserve. If we continue to dip into our reserves at this rate, we will severely compromise the City’s ability to respond to any major emergencies or catastrophes—the City Council is determined to balance our future budgets without using our reserves.

Unfortunately, the economy does not seem to be getting any better anytime soon. The economic projections continue to be poor for all cities and local governments, which means that Artesia will continue to see declining revenues from sales taxes and application fees, and we anticipate that our state legislature will continue to cut our revenues and raid Artesia’s budget for redevelopment dollars, as well as other City revenues and funds.

This fiscal year, we faced a $1.3 million budget deficit with declining revenue projections and a dwindling reserve. So, after two years of trimming our expenses and using our reserves to balance the budget, the City Council made the difficult decision to lay off 13 City employees. Since the City Council had previously decided not to fill vacant positions, the City is now left with a very lean staff. In order to design and implement such a significant restructuring of the City’s workforce, new management positions were filled to enable the City to maintain the level of services that you expect from the City.

We, the City Council, are painfully aware of the hardship these decisions have caused to our former and current employees and their families. We humbly ask the Artesia community for its understanding and patience as we continue to adjust our City government to accommodate the changes brought on by the economic recession. We look forward to better economic times ahead, when we can work toward developing new programs and services to meet your needs. Until then, we will remain vigilant to ensure that the City will remain financially firm and solid.

Re: The New Healthcare Tax “Cause I’m a Republican… yeah, yeah and I obstruct them...sung to the tune of “Taxman” by the Beatles.

I found the letter by Mr. Kauble quite laughable. Conservatives do not get it; we already pay taxes on healthcare for the uninsured who go to emergency rooms. Theyr try to hide using argument like "invasive tax."

The point of insurance is to spread the risk, the more people who buy, the more the risk is spread. 40 million uninsured in the US would equate to a risk spread.

I am the father of a son who could not get insurance because of a pre-existing condition, now he can get insurance with the new bill thank you very much.

As far as Sanchez, where did that tangent come from? The Congresswomen is responsible for securing funds for the COW buses in Cerritos and many other worthy public services.

Cats team chair Ulla Herman (left) presented flowers and a certificate to Cancer survivor Barbara Mast who raised more than $10,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

By Larry Caballero La Palma/Buena Park’s American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life teams are not prepared to rest on their laurels.

This year may have been the most successful ever with 36 teams participating, that included 107 Cancer survivors, and they raised almost $150,000. Nevertheless, they met Aug. 2 at the Buena Park Senior Center to make plans for 2011.

Chairperson Christine Payette, a La Palma resident, hopes next year will be even better.

Barbara Mast, who is also a La Palma resident and a Cancer survivor, raised more than $10,000 on her own, with the help of her friends and local businesses that include Starbucks that donated the coffee.

Cats team chair Ulla Herman congratulated Mast on a job well done and presented her with flowers and a certificate. Mast promised to try even harder next year.

Los Cerritos Center Marketing Manager guest speaker at Cerritos Regional Chamber lunch

Office of Public Affairs.

For nearly seven years, she was a liaison for an 11-city college district working to strengthen relationships between the college and the business community. She has also served on the Board of Directors for the Norwalk and Cerritos Chambers of Commerce.

Visiting are [l-r] Steve Vicencia & daughter Christine of Vicencia & Buckley Insurance, Marla Young, City National Bank.

Los Cerritos Center Marketing Manager Megan Richardson was the keynote speaker at the Chamber’s Aug. 12 monthly luncheon held at the Sheraton Cerritos Hotel where she presented a Marketing 101 program to assist business owners to be more successful in the market place. “It’s all about talking,” said Richardson.

“There are certain key principles that apply to marketing, and it doesn’t matter how big or small your budget may be.” Richardson emphasized the four major components in marketing that are essential if a business is to be successful.

“Your business must be focused, accurate, consistent and experiential,” said Richardson. “Never get off message. If you do, you’ll only confuse the consumer, and even then, there are no guarantees. Marketing is a crap shoot sometimes.”

Richardson shared two successful marketing tools displayed by AFLAC Representative Joseph Derthick and Fidelity Hearing Center audiologist David DeKriek. “You never know what will work, but even if only one or two customers respond, you have made a difference. ”She defined marketing as being experimental. It’s what you do to get your product before the public.

She asked what does the consumer want? The answer is they want accuracy and they want quality. That should be your focus, she said, Richardson oversees all the internal and external marketing elements for the Center, including special events such as the recent Grand Opening of Nordstrom and the expansion wing.

GAHR GLADIATORS 6-5 overall last season, 3-2 in the San Gabriel Valley League, tied for second place. Lost to St. Francis 55-34 in Western Division first round 32-22 overall last five seasons Head coach: Greg Marshall (eighth season, 41-33).

Lost 18 seniors of 49 players from 2009 opening day roster.

2010 schedule Sept. 3 @ Millikan (6-5 last season) Sept. 10 @ Kennedy (5-5) Sept. 17 @ Cerritos (1-9) Sept. 24 Artesia (1-9) Oct. 1 Trabuco Hills (12-2) Oct. 8 BYE Oct. 15 @ Downey (3-7) Oct. 22 Dominguez (6-6) Oct. 29 Lynwood (5-5) Nov. 5 @ Warren (10-2) Nov. 12 Paramount (2-8) Gahr’s success over the past four seasons can be attributed to the aerial assault from Corey Nielsen, who graduated in 2008, and his younger brother Casey, who graduated two months ago. Between them, they virtually put Gahr back on the football map in Southern California as the Gladiators, who were once the punching bags of the San Gabriel Valley League, have been to the playoffs twice in the past three seasons. This is a program that was one game short of the divisional finals in 2007 and could have

advanced very far in the past two postseasons, but played in just one playoff game.

Now, Gahr will embark on life after the Nielsen brothers hoping that it can have the same success, or better, than the past several seasons. Last season, Gahr was involved in three games that were decided by one point, losing two of them by identical 35-34 scores.

“We’re right where we should be,” said Gahr head coach Greg Marshall.

“We’re not a powerhouse by any means but we should be able to win. I thought we played pretty well [last season] considering where we had to go [in the playoffs]. That’s why it’s important to try to get that first home game in the playoffs.”

OFFENSE The biggest positive for the Gladiators will be the returning receiving quartet of seniors Quincy Dickens (18 receptions, 270 yards, two touchdowns last season) and Josh Perkins (36, 486, seven) along with juniors Delshawn McClellon (74, 879, seven) and Dwayne Washington (14, 235, one).

But they need someone to throw them the pigskin and that job will belong to junior Eric Richardson with senior Daniel Lopez also in the mix. Senior Kalep Davis returns as the top running back where he picked up 205 yards on 34 carries. Also in the backfield will be sophomore Alex Kline.

“Offensively we have more firepower,” Marshall said. “We may not throw as much but those guys will get better opportunities as far as coverage wise.

[Opponents] are not going to be able to play us back and off.”

Marshall indicated that the offensive line will probably be the biggest ever and that the team may not be depen-

dent on the passing game. The top four linemen will be senior left tackle Lene Lesatele, senior left guard J.J. Sitala, senior center Bobby Zendejas, who stands at 6’ 4”, 287 and junior right guard Julius Sitala.

DEFENSE As explosive as the offense has been in the past few years, the defense has been giving up more yards and more points than Marshall would have wanted.

At times, Gahr resembles a team from the old Western Athletic Conference of college football where it’s all offense and no defense. The key area of concern will be in the secondary where seniors Robbie Harding and Orlando Thompson, both of whom will play cornerback, are the top two guys. The rest of the secondary will have little to know football experience, according to Marshall. The strength will be the linebackers, led by Lesatele (70 tackles, three sacks in 2009) and senior Stevie Hoodye (56, three). The other top two linebackers will be seniors Desmond Carter and Andrew Kim. The line will be anchored by seniors Devaughn Hanley (49, four), Brandon Gaines and J.J. Sitala. Marshall also stated that they will play a lot more man like Dominguez and Lynwood.

“It’s like basketball; if you’re going to go up and down [the court], you can’t think you’re going to hold guys down,” Marshall said. “You have to pick your poison. Defensively last year, we very played well in the second half of all of our games.”

SCHEDULE Gahr will follow the same format as last season with its non-league slate where it began with a pair of one-point decisions followed by a pair of 40-point performances against its ABC School District rivals. Once again, the key game will be Trabuco Hills, which has owned Gahr since 2006. Trabuco Hills lost in the Southwest Division championship game while Dominguez, which fell to the Gladiators by six points at home, advanced to the Western Division semifinals.

“I think we’re tired of second place; we’ve been there, done that,” Marshall said. “I think these kinds want to go to the next step. But the good thing is the positions that we have inexperience in, they’ll have enough time to get ready for league. “ VALLEY CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS 8-4 overall last season, 4-0 in the Olympic League, first place. Lost to San Dimas 37-14 in Mid-Valley Division quarterfinals. 37-21 overall last five seasons. Head coach: Erick Streelman (fourth season, (22-14). Lost 21 seniors of 48 players from 2009 opening day roster.

Sept. 17 St. Bernard (3-7) Sept. 24 Mayfair (4-7) Oct. 1 @ Ontario Christian (7-7) Oct. 8 St. Margaret’s (14-0) Oct. 15 Los Angeles Baptist (3-7) Oct. 22 @ Maranatha (9-3) Oct. 29 Whittier Christian (9-4) Nov. 5 BYE Nov. 11 @ Village Christian (6-4) It took three seasons, but head coach Erick Streelman, the former Valley Christian standout, finally picked up an Olympic League championship, the school’s first since 2004. The Crusaders were tested in the first six games and that alone helped the team down the stretch, especially in its 28-19 home win against Paraclete in Week 10 for the league title.

Two of the three regular season losses were to quality teams and with a new non-league slate, Streelman is looking for more of the same in 2010.

“It was a great year,” Streelman said.

“We had a real big turning point after the St. Margaret’s game where we were basically run off the field and played horrible. After that, the seniors called a meeting and we had a little get-together and from that point forward, we won our next five.”

OFFENSE Like its Artesia Blvd. neighbors on the other side of the 605 freeway, V.C. can light up the scoreboard and in a flash.

The Crusaders scored at least 41 points four times and won all four of those games by an average of nine and a half points. A lot of the offense returns but the story of the season will come from senior quarterback Ryan Fronke, who saw limited action last season, completing 10 of 16 passes for 133 yards. A watchful eye will be kept on Fronke in the first part of the season because junior Dylan Algra and sophomore Patrick Avila, both of whom have been tabbed as the backups, are currently injured. That means senior Darrell Bush will be the emergency backup.

“Ryan has waited his turn very patiently, so he’s really excited about this chance,” Streelman said. “I don’t feel Ryan is inexperienced because he’s been around for so long. He’s been taking so many reps.”

Senior Trevor Rodriguez returns as the leading running back where he picked up 618 yards on 75 touches and scored five rushing touchdowns. Joining him will be special teams specialist senior Chris Binford and junior Lucas Young. V.C. will have a bevy of wide receivers for Fronke to throw to highlighted by Bush (43 receptions, 472 yards, one touchdown), senior Tyler Boer (18, 459, two) and Rodriguez (18, 204, two).

Juniors Austin Batiste, Jacob Dupuy and junior LeWayne Wright also return to give the Crusaders vast experience down the field.

Three linemen return but there are already changes up front. Senior Brandon Williams moves from right guard to become the new center. Senior Matt Vanderdussen, who occupied the right tackle spot last season and junior Scott Vander Ploeg, who played left guard last season are the two other returners. Senior Steven Bivens has the inside spot for left tackle while seniors Ryan Bowman and Matt Huchel, along with Vander Ploeg, will vie for the guard positions.

“I think we’re faster overall than we have been,” Streelman said. “I don’t think we’re quite as experienced up front.

All of the [skill guys] who are going to start have all played and have made contributions.”

DEFENSE For the most part, the defense held its own last season, limiting opponents to less than 20 points six times, under 10 points twice and posting a shutout. The defense recorded 35 sacks, which opened up a lot of eyes. And, it gets better as virtually the entire defense comes back from 2009.

“I did not expect at all that we would

have that many sacks,” Streelman said.

“I really have to credit Mike Struiksma’s scheme because he just has a very innovative voice and sends guys anywhere.

The reason we’ve been able to do that is because we’ve had a lot of confidence in our corners and in our safeties to cover guys.”

Wright is the leading returning lineman, where he posted 70 tackles and will be joined by junior Anthony Nocera (20 tackles) who replaces the graduated Sam Phillips at nose guard. Senior Michael Fasnacht will join Wright at the end position. The rest of the defense can be interchangeable as Streelman alluded to.

Senior Michael Woodhead (49 tackles, three sacks), who was primarily a linebacker last season, moves to become a strong safety. Also in the secondary mix will be seniors Chris Binford (50 tackles, three interceptions) and Lionel Hendrick (51 tackles) and junior David Coley (37 tackles). Senior Brad Staal, a linebacker last season who had 41 tackles, could play free safety while junior Zach D’Amico, a top newcomer, can play cornerback, safety or one of the linebacker positions.

Speaking of linebackers, the leader of that area is senior Tim Walton, who had 100 tackles and five sacks last season.

He’ll be joined by senior James Griffin, who went to V.C. as a freshman, moved away, then transferred back. He played the last few games in 2009. Sophomore Stephen Cousseneau is a transfer from Bonita and will play on the inside.

SCHEDULE If last season’s non-league schedule wasn’t challenging enough, take a look of who is on the menu this season.

Streelman says he does this for a reason because when it’s time for the playoffs, V.C. is playing schools with enrollments of over 2,000. With that said, Tesoro will be one of V.C.’s all-time biggest tests.

While the Titans struggled last season, they lost to Long Beach Poly in the 2008 PAC-5 Division championship game for their only loss in 14 games.

“I always want challenges in the preseason,” Streelman said. “I always want to have three or four games that really push us to the edge. The Tesoro connection is…coach [Brian] Barnes was my roommate in college. We lived together for four years. We have a history together. That’s the reason why I inquired to him first.

“But the reason why we are playing a PAC-5 team is because we’re trying to focus on developing these kids’ characters,” he added. “Character is tested most when you’re pushed and you’re challenged. Now, saying that, I would not have scheduled this game two years ago with four or five returning starters.

The fact that we have 14 or 15 guys who started last year, have experience and know how to win and know how to play play…it makes sense to have this team play a game like this.”

V.C. then hits the road to play a semifinalist from the Northwest Division, then later on will host the defending East Valley Division champions. St. Margaret’s beat V.C. 28-6 last season and also knocked off Ontario Christian in the championship game. Paraclete leaves the Olympic League while Maranatha takes its spot for at least the next four years. Maranatha fell to Ontario Christian in the quarterfinals.

“I think Whittier Christian is going to be really tough,” Streelman said. “I think they’ll probably be better than Paraclete. They went to the semifinals last year and they return a lot of starters.

That’s going to be a game we’re going to circle on our schedule.”

PLAYFUL CITY

Continued from page 1 – a national recognition program honoring cities and towns determined to prioritize play and ensure that children are healthy by providing the time and space for play. KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to saving play, recognized 118 cities across the country as Playful City USA communities, including Cerritos.

Playful City USA communities are making a commitment to play and physical activity by developing unique local action plans to increase the quantity and quality of play in their community. In doing so, some of the most innovative ideas and cost-effective programs are being developed in Playful City USA communities – proving that parks and play are more important than ever.

Florida paced the country with 19 Playful City USA communities followed

by Arizona and California with 10 communities each. For the third consecutive year, Florida led the nation with the most Playful City USA communities with California and Arizona sharing second place for the second straight year. Arizona led the country in 2007 and was third in 2008.

KaBOOM! also selected Cerritos for its’ outstanding dedication to play.. The city has created a month-long celebration of play and physical fitness, which takes place each May in conjunction with National Physical Fitness and Health Month.

KaBOOM! makes children happier and healthier by inspiring communities to build great places to play in conjunction with its vision of a great place to play within walking distance of every child. Playful City USA communities create best practices, like the ones above, to reach a similar goal. They serve as role models for other communities and prove that enhancing children’s well-being by increasing the opportunity for play is an attainable goal for every community.

“An extreme misconception exists in our country that play among children is a luxury when, in fact, it’s an absolute necessity,” said Darell Hammond, KaBOOM! CEO and Co-founder. “For decades, this notion dominated our actions and we continue to see the damaging results: a monumental lack of playspaces for children and sky-rocketing childhood obesity rates. Baldwin Park, Cerritos and Lakewood refused to adhere to the status quo and realized all children deserve a municipal commitment to the cause of play. These 118 Playful City USA communities serve as beacons for the rest of our nation that an investment in children is an investment in our future.”

HAWAIIAN GARDENS Continued from page 1

said the Complex was very important. “It will bring safety for the kids and bring the community together with all kinds of community activity.”

Another resident said the sports complex was needed, noting that when Hawaiian Gardens teams like the Little League, Pop Warner and others participate in tournaments, the games have to play outside the city because there are no decent fields in Hawaiian Gardens. “The Sports Complex will change that,” he said. “We will be able to play on fields that are safe with no potholes.”

Commenting on the cost, he said to his knowledge approximately $3 million has been donated for the complex. “This is money that is separate from the city money. We’re halfway there,” he said.

“Don’t stop now.”

President of the city’s Pop Warner League said what he is hearing from the council is “if we do it.” He challenged the council to start looking at “how can we get it done, not if we can get it done.

Responding to questions from the council, Finance Director David Sung said approximately $3 million has been received from outside sources. This includes $1.5 million from the Irving Moskowitz Foundation, a state grant of $1 million, and $500,000 from ABC Unified School District. Sung said the District money was grant funds. In addition since 2006 the city has put aside money for the Complex that now totals approximately $3,750,000.

Councilman Gomez added that totals to $6,370,000. “This is money that will not come out of the city’s reserve as claimed.

He said we would be going forward with it, but in phases.” He emphasized that the Complex is for the kids.

Councilmember Reynaldo Rodriguez said he was not against the complex and would vote for it. However, he wanted to be sure of the contract details with the school district and it is done responsibly, especially since it was paying for the complex construction. He also wanted to know how much it would cost the city to maintain it.

Councilmember Barry Bruce expressed concern about the agreement with the District and use of the Complex.

He said each family in the city would have to pay $3,500 to raise $8 million in support of the Complex. “Are you willing to do that?” He also said the Complex would not be available to use whenever you want to use it. “You have to check with ABC’s schedule first. I wonder how much you will get to use it?”

He also stated since the property is District property, what happens if the school shuts down. “What happens to the Complex? In addition,” he said, “every five years each family would have to write a check for $550 in order to maintain the property.” He accused the majority on the council of doing what they want to do. “It doesn’t matter what Mr. Rodriguez and I say.” He said, “If we just throw money around helter skelter it will destroy the city.”

Mayor pro tem Michiko OyamaCanada asked the Finance Director what happens to the money if the council votes not to proceed with the Complex?

He answered the donated money would have to be returned. Canada said in the meantime our children would have to play on fields that are not safe. “They need fields where they will not get hurt and where they can play tournaments,” she asserted.

Mayor Farfan responded by saying the agreements made were explained to the council. “Now they are saying they haven’t seen them. There is a gray area here.” He said the reason the Complex is being built on school property is because

Hawaiian Gardens is built out. “We’re .9 of a square mile. There are no parks in Hawaiian Gardens. The parks we use are on school property. He pointed out that Fedde School students are Hawaiian Gardens children. “I don’t understand people saying our kids won’t use it. They already do.” He said during school hours the District has priority to the fields. After schools, it will be open to the general public, which is the city of Hawaiian Gardens. It is being designed for the benefit of the City of Hawaiian Gardens.

He closed the discussion on the Complex by saying it would probably be built in phases because of monetary issues.

“We will do our very best.”

When completed the Complex will consist of a multi-purpose room, baseball/softball field, scoccer/football field, renovations that will include synthetic turf, improved lighting and a running track equipped with a rubberized surface.

Turning to other items in the budget, the council voted cuts amounting to $272,000.

COUNCIL

Continued from page 1 permits and other land use entitlements.

In his report to the council Management Analyst Ryan Cary said an urgency ordinance was originally adopted on Aug. 27, 2009. The extension will establish a 20 month and 15 day moratorium but may be extended a final time for one additional year. He said the moratorium was originally enacted because of existing conflicts between federal and state law concerning the use and sale of marijuana, and also due to the fact the courts are currently addressing the conflict and have yet to establish means by which medical marijuana dispensaries may be governed.

He said the city attorney is in the process of researching current law and pending cases and gathering relevant information, such as sample ordinances and legal dissertations on this issue in an effort to make recommendations regarding medical marijuana dispensies when opinions have been issued on current court cases.

The council also approved a water division program to make available emergency water supply storage kits for residents in case of a regional emergency caused by an earthquake or other disaster.

Water Superintendent Charles Emig said the city’s Department of Water and Power has an ongoing supply of empty, plastic 55 gallon barrels that are available for the program. He said staff was proposing to begin a program to recycle the barrels to the community to be used as emergency water storage units as well as a emergency kit. Cost to the residents will be $10 for the emergency kit and $5 for each barrel.

A bid in the amount of $33,862.27 was accepted by the council for the printing of the new season programs for the 2010-11 season of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Low bidder was Diversified Printers, Inc. of La Mirada.

Two Sheriff’s deputies or public safety officers manned the location for an extended period to direct vehicles and pedestrians away from the debris. Although Edison has since removed the pole, debris remained in the median as of the middle of Tuesday afternoon. Staff acknowledged the problem and said that it would be looked into.

Councilwoman Kelley also expressed frustration over shopping carts abandoned around town. “We’re not making any headway,” she said, despite changes to the City Code and apparent activity by cart retrieval companies. She asked that the problem be revisited by City staff and the Council. Mayor Stefenhagen added that he saw numerous 99¢ Store shopping carts in the area around his office despite the cards being equipped with anti-theft devices meant to restrict them to the store parking lot.

Animal control services are provided to the City of Norwalk by SEAACA, which produces a monthly Adopt-a-Pet video. The video is available on the organization’s website (www.seacca.org) and is also presented once a month at a City Council meeting. This month’s video informed the Council that 31 animals were adopted out during SEAACA’s Critter Run on August 1. Held on a day when the animal shelter is normally closed, the Run is a motorcycle ride to raise community awareness of pets waiting for adoption.

In other business, the Council approved plans to re-roof the Norwalk Arts and Sports Complex meeting center, acNOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. 09-0048717 Title Order No. 09-8-146593 Investor/Insurer No. 166081576 APN No. 7167-023-018 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 04/18/2007.

LEGAL NOTICES CITY OF CERRITOS ORDINANCE NO. 955 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CERRITOS EXTENDING URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 950 WHICH ESTABLISHED A MORATORIUM TO PROHIBIT MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES IN ALL ZONES AND PROHIBIT THE ISSUANCE OF BUSINESS LICENSES, BUILDING PERMITS, AND OTHER LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS THEREFOR. WHEREAS, the United States Controlled Substances Act classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 illegal drug, with high potential for abuse; and WHEREAS, in 1996, California voters approved Proposition 215, which was codified as Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5 et seq., and entitled the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, which allows a patient or a patient’s caregiver to possess or cultivate marijuana for the personal medical purposes of the patient; and WHEREAS, as a result of the federal and state laws, California cities are currently caught in a conflict between the federal and state law as to the legality of marijuana for medical purposes and the interpretation of the state law as it relates to whether cities may prohibit the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries; and WHEREAS, on August 27, 2009, the City Council of the City of Cerritos ("City") adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 950, which established a moratorium to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries in all zones and prohibit the issuance of business licenses, building permits and other land use entitlements therefore; and WHEREAS, Urgency Ordinance No. 950 contained a statement of facts and findings that the decision to prohibit or authorize the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries and, if permitted, the appropriate zone(s) and related development standards, had not yet been commenced or completed by the City because no formal request to initiate or locate a marijuana dispensary has yet been received, and that the City did not permit such use, and as such, had not established any express criteria regarding the establishment, location or scope of operations for marijuana dispensary uses; and WHEREAS, Urgency Ordinance No. 950 also contained a statement of facts and findings that the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries before appropriate procedures and regulations are enacted has the potential to cause adverse impacts to surrounding development and risks to the public health, safety and welfare of the City’s residents and the general public, and it is therefore urgent that the City have the opportunity to consider whether such facilities must or should be allowed or prohibited in the City and, if so allowed, to develop regulations governing the location and operation of medical marijuana dispensaries to prevent adverse impacts to the public health, safety and welfare that may result from unregulated placement and operation of such uses; and WHEREAS, since the adoption of Ordinance No. 950, the City Attorney has begun research of current law and gathered relevant information in an effort to make recommendations regarding medical marijuana dispensaries; and WHEREAS, Urgency Ordinance No. 950 was subsequently extended by the City Council of the City of Cerritos on October 8, 2009 for an additional period of ten months and fifteen days pursuant to the provisions established within California Government Code section 65858(b); and

WHEREAS, California Government Code section 65858(b) permits an interim moratorium ordinance to be extended for one (1) additional year provided proper notice was given, a public hearing is held, and the ordinance extending the interim moratorium ordinance is adopted by a four-fifths vote of the City Council; and WHEREAS, additional time is needed to adequately study and adopt necessary regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries in the City for the protection of the public’s health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, proper notice of a public hearing on the extension of Ordinance No. 950 was provided for the City Council Meeting of August 12, 2010; and WHEREAS, at its regular meeting on August 12, 2010, a public hearing regarding the extension of Ordinance No. 950 was held by the City Council, a staff report and public testimony received, and the public hearing was closed for deliberation by the City Council; and WHEREAS, based upon the Recitals above, the City Council finds that there remains a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare presented by the unregulated development of medical marijuana dispensaries; and WHEREAS, further based upon the Recitals above, the City Council finds and determines that the immediate preservation of the public health, safety and welfare requires the extension of Urgency Ordinance No. 950 and that the extension be enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 65858 and take effect immediately upon adoption; and WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to adopt this urgency ordinance which extends Urgency Ordinance No. 950.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CERRITOS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the facts set forth in the recitals of this ordinance are true and correct.

SECTION 2. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858, the City Council hereby extends for an additional one (1) year Urgency Ordinance No. 950, which established an interim prohibition on the establishment, development, construction, maintenance, and/or operation of medical marijuana dispensaries in all zones of the City. For purposes of this ordinance, the term "medical marijuana dispensary" shall mean any facility or entity of any nature that grows or distributes marijuana for medical purposes as described in California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5. It shall not include any State licensed health care facility that may lawfully be established and operate as such within a zone or zones of the City.

SECTION 3. Notwithstanding any other ordinance or provision of the Cerritos Municipal Code, no person shall establish, develop, construct, maintain, or operate a medical marijuana dispensary, and no application for a business license, building permit, conditional use permit, or any other entitlement authorizing the establishment, development, construction, maintenance, and/or operation of any medical marijuana dispensary shall be approved during the term of the prohibition established in Section 2, above.

SECTION 4. The City Council declares that this ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure to preserve and address existing and immediate threats to the public health, safety, and welfare. This ordinance, therefore, is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Section 36934 of the California Government Code, shall be adopted by a four-fifths vote of the City Council, and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

This ordinance shall remain in effect for one year.

SECTION 5. City staff is directed to continue studying the applicable legal and land use issues and develop appropriate zoning and licensing guidelines or regulations governing such uses, and/or a possible prohibition on such uses if that is authorized by law and desired by the City Council.

SECTION 6. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance, and the prohibition established hereby, may have a significant effect on the environment, because the ordinance will impose greater limitations on development in the City, and will thereby serve to reduce potential significant adverse environmental impacts. It is therefore exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations.

SECTION 7. Violation of any provision of this ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for a period not to exceed six (6) months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each and every day such a violation exists shall constitute a separate and distinct violation of this ordinance.

SECTION 8. The violation of any of the provisions of this ordinance hereby adopted shall constitute a nuisance and may be abated by the City through civil process by means of restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or in any other manner provided by law for the abatement of such nuisances.

SECTION 9. The City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence, or word of this ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs, sentences and words of this ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance.
