Stay home (again) Funk Zone businesses repeat lockdown policies

Council to discuss contract to study SBPD By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In its regular meeting on Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council will be recommended by city staff to award $147,383 to Citygate Associates, LLC to study the police department. The goal of the study is to determine how Santa Barbara can ensure that the SBPD focuses on the performance of “essential police services” while potentially shifting “non-essential” services to other entities, such as city departments, nonprofits or county agencies. “The selection team Please see council on A8

A regional stay-at-home order took effect at midnight, forcing a variety of businesses to close or operate under further limitations until the state reevaluates the order the week of Dec. 28. Sunday afternoon, the NewsPress talked to local business managers in the Funk Zone as they enjoyed their last few hours before the order was scheduled to begin. The order looks slightly

different from the April 5 order, for it allows retail locations to stay open at 20% capacity. But many businesses are repeating their protocols from April. Pali Wine Company, at 116 E Yanonali St. in Santa Barbara, will sell bottles of wine and other retail goods from its storefront but closing the on-site tastings. “We’ve had a lot of local support. Last lockdown, we had a lot of people coming through and still purchasing bottles,” Pali Wine Co.’s assistant manager Amanda Davis said. Please see LOCKDOWN on A8

In its meeting on Tuesday, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will receive the annual TRUTH Act report regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to individuals. The purpose of the report is to “provide information to the public about ICE’s access to individuals and to receive and consider public comment,” according to the staff report. From 2018 to 2019, the number of ICE requests increased; however, the number of ICE pickups decreased over 57%, the presentation states. The board will also provide an update on the status of COVID-19 in the county. Discussion will likely center around the notification from Public Health that the Southern California region fell below 15% ICU capacity, which triggered the regional stay-at-home order for Santa Barbara County. The order went into effect at midnight on Sunday and will remain in place for at least three weeks, with re-evaluation the week of Dec. 28. In other business, the board will receive an update from the county’s legislative advocates and be recommended to adopt the County of Santa Barbara 2021 Legislative Platform. The legislative principles for 2021 are the same as 2020’s, and include: Job Growth and Economic Vitality, Efficient Service Delivery and Operations, Fiscal Stability, Inter-Agency Collaboration, Local Control, Health and Human Services, Workforce Development, Community Sustainability and Please see bos on A8

More than 20 years after they first opened, Chuck’s Waterfront Grill and The Endless Summer Bar CafĂŠ are permanently closed. On the morning of April 30 the waterfront restaurant announced its closure with a farewell post on its Instagram account. The post read, “It is with heavy hearts that we announce we have closed our doors for good. Thank you for your constant support. The memories will never be forgotten.â€? Despite the current economic chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the prospect of Chuck’s and Endless Summer ceasing operation dates back to before the outbreak. According to the agenda of a March 24 Santa Barbara City Council meeting in which assignment of the restaurant’s lease to a new operator was the first item, Chuck’s and Endless Summer co-owner Steve Hyslop informed the Waterfront Department of his desire to sell the establishment in August 2019. After receiving the department’s lease assignment requirements, Mr. Hyslop began searching for a new buyer and ultimately found it in businessman Aaron Petersen, who operates a number of restaurants in Solvang including Chomp, The Coffee House by Chomp,

Brekkies by Chomp, and Mortensen’s Danish Bakery. The initial lease for the Chuck’s and Endless Summer property is 10 years with four, five-year options to extend the term of the lease. Mr. Petersen is inheriting the existing lease with only the four, five-year options remaining, with an average seasonally adjusted base rent of $23,585 per month. Though Mr. Petersen plans to continue running Chuck’s and Endless Summer in line with its current operation for a time, the restaurant has upgrades planned for around the fall. According to the agenda, under Mr. Petersen’s business plan the second floor of the establishment will be converted into a traditional deli cafĂŠ focused on sandwiches, soups, and salads, with a gourmet grocery area selling wine, beer, and prepackaged foods. For evenings, the second floor will have a full bar and a dinner menu focusing on “adult food and beverages.â€? The restaurant’s ground floor is proposed to be similar to Mr. Petersen’s Chomp restaurants. Its menu of burgers, fries, and shakes will cater to families, young adults, and retirees, and for evenings will be converted to a “dinner type atmosphere.â€? email: jgrega@newspress.com

‘Cheers!’

Women Winemakers raise funds for Foodbank of Santa Barbara County

Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard displays its wines.

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

To celebrate International Women’s Day, March 8, Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers have an annual Women Winemakers Celebration that brings together local female winemakers in a show of support for each other and for other working women worldwide. Each year’s event — this past year, a Sunday Brunch held at Roblar Farm in Santa Ynez — features approximately two dozen female winemakers alongside some of Santa Ynez Valley’s leading culinary ladies who collaborate to create multicourse feasts, served with a selection of their winemaker colleague’s wines. This year, however, the organization has taken a different tack because of the COVID-19 pandemic — a holiday drawing to benefit the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. The “Cheers for the Foodbank Wine Tasting” will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 14 at the Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard in Solvang. “Women Winemakers Celebration participants have donated bottles of wine to the drawing and tickets for future experiences. All drawing ticket proceeds will be donated to the Foodbank to aid in the organization’s much-needed food distribution efforts stemming from increased demand this year due in major part to COVID’s effects on the county’s economy,” said Karen Steinwachs, co-founder of the celebration, winemaker at Buttonwood and owner of Seagrape Wine Company. “At this time of year, we are usually in the beginning phases

of planning for next year’s Women Winemakers Celebration, and while there are still many uncertainties and possibilities for a March 2021 event, we can still make a difference in other ways — when it is most needed.” She added that the Dec. 14 “happening won’t be a mass gathering of people. Anyone buying a ticket to the event is essentially just reserving a wine tasting appointment at Buttonwood for that afternoon, and they are following all current COVID guidelines for wineries/ wine tasting facilities.” Friday is the deadline to purchase the tickets, which are available on three levels: • $15: Entry to the “Cheers for the Foodbank Wine Tasting Event” from noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 14 at Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard, 1500 Alamo Pintado Road in Solvang. Reservations are required. • $50/drawing ticket: One case of Santa Barbara County Women Winemaker-made wine (12 by 750-milliliter bottles), with a total value of at least $500. • $25/drawing ticket: One-half case (six bottles) of these wines, estimated to be $250 in value. • $50/drawing ticket: A “digital gift basket” filled with passes to the various winemakers’ tasting rooms, special coupons for online specials, intimate “meet the winemaker” sessions and more items, TBD; value estimated to be $500. “In the nine months since the COVID crisis struck Santa Barbara County, the Foodbank has provided over 15 million pounds of healthy food and fresh produce to more than 150,000 community members who did not know where their next meal would

in an entire year. The county has seen double the usual need for food. “We’re here for the long haul and will continue to

work with our 300-plus local partner organizations to make sure everyone who needs food assistance can count on having a healthy meal. That said, we can’t do it alone,” she added. “Caring participation from individuals and organizations like the Women Winemakers is what makes this essential work possible.” Ms. Steinwachs said she was inspired to help organize the Santa Barbara County Women Winemakers by a 2015 Oscars speech by actress Patricia Arquette. “Although I’ve worked in maleoriented professions my entire career, I didn’t really think about glass ceilings or the power of women until that speech. Then I pondered, ‘Why don’t we tout our inclusion here in the Santa Barbara wine community?’ Sonja Magdevski and I organized a casual tasting by women winemakers at her tasting room in Los Alamos that year, and the next year our founding committee was formed to create the annual Women Winemakers Celebration held on International Women’s Day,” recalled Ms. Steinwachs. Those participating in this year’s event include the following: Kristin Bryden, Zaca Mesa. Brooke Carhartt, Carhartt Vineyard and Winery. Clarissa Nagy, C. Nagy Wines. Brit Zotovich, Dreamcôte Wine Co. Sonja Magdevski, The Feminist Party. Marisa Clendenen Matela, Bevela Wines.

Founded in 1806 by father Frederic and later joined by his three sons, Japy Freres was an early model of diversification of talents. Pierre handled the finances, Fritz handled the technical end, and Louis handled the watchmaking machinery. Father Frederic was the brains and the boss. Thus, what was once an industry of “made by hand� became, by the early 19th century, a Japy Freres factory production, based in one large building in Bessancourt, France. The business was a thriving concern for 124 years, closing after the family supplied clocks and watches to various national armies gearing up for World War II. The founder, father Frederic, was an apprentice to his grandfather, a watchmaker. After his apprenticeship in 1766 at age 17, Frederic began to reform the clock-making industry. Prior to Frederic’s innovations, different villagers made different watch parts, which were joined by an “assembler,� and forwarded to a “dresser� who made the case. Frederic standardized the industry. He purchased and remade machinery, and assembled a factory where all workmen toiled under one roof, in sequence, on site. When we talk about the Enlightenment period in Europe, there could be no better metaphor for Newton’s dictum that the universe is a clockwork mechanism, and that all human beings are parts of that machine, than a mechanized clock factory where all laborers had a distinct and sequential job. N.P. is grateful to his friends James and Donna Stoudemire of Clockworks, in Huntington, Maine, for the identification and dating of this clock. N.P.’s aunt’s clock, circa 1880, exhibits the fruits of founder Frederic’s innovations. I can see the screws are machine made (as opposed to hand-turned), and the treatment of the case and the enamel process of the dial was unique for this time. This process was invented by Frederic in the 18th century. And to have a timepiece in the 18th century was a privilege for the wealthy. I find a further metaphor for the importance of timekeeping in the era in the fact that these clocks were designed for the central position in the home, above the hearth, which warmed the entire house. That is why they are called mantle

clocks. People converged around the hearth, and a timepiece was a status-marking symbol of order and control in the 18th century. Frederic focused on making thousands of high-end clocks, for the wealthy, and a Japy Freres mantel – or bracket clock (a tall clock designed to sit on a matching wall bracket) was desired all over Europe. Yet when his sons inherited the business in the early 19th century, they began to “diversify,â€? making office machines, hardware, enamel kitchenwar and coffee grinders. You can guess the result. The factory was spread too thin, and those high-end clocks that were the cornerstone of the business suffered. Luckily for N.P., his aunt’s clock falls into the higher end of the refinement scale. Japy Freres continued to be a symbol of taste in timepieces until the third quarter of the 19th century. In fact, Japy Freres set the standard for classy clocks being necessarily of French manufacture and French design, and available only to those of the most discriminating taste. The clock is in the French Revival style of the late 19th century, specifically the Louis XV style, and the case is distinctive for its mottled orange to brown, which is called Boullework. This style is named after French cabinet maker Andre Charles Boulle (1642-1732), who veneered furniture and clocks with tortoiseshell. Japy’s clocks simulate this look with enamel. N.P. mentioned that his aunt loved the Viennese style. This clock “fitsâ€? with her taste, as the wealthy of Vienna favored the Louis XV Revival style. The grace, proportion, and organic whiplash line of Louis XV Revival can be seen today in vintage Viennese architecture. The workings of the clock are initialed “B&G,â€? which may refer to the porcelain manufacturer Bing and Grondahl, which would have made the clock more expensive when originally purchased. The clock is ornamented with dorĂŠ-work (gold-gilded bronze) mounts that terminate in a flower cartouche upon which a bird has landed. The clock’s workings were pulled, and changed to battery operation years ago, but N.P. writes that the clock is “noisy,â€? which indicates the metal workings are still intact. I would put the value, once the original workings are restored, at $1,000. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Diggerâ€? column appears Mondays in the News-Press Life section. Written after her father’s COVID-19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaosâ€? is a humorous collection of five “what-ifâ€? short stories that end in personal triumphs over present-day constrictions.

You may see delays this week. But it’s best to remain calm. Should this happen. Over the weekend, you may receive some great news. Just try to remain calm. Taurus

With the sun squaring Neptune on Wednesday, your privacy is about to be exposed. And while this is frustrating, Taurus, you may actually find that a breakdown is near this week—thanks to the sun making a trine to Mars in Aries.

Gemini

You’ll need to watch what you say this week as the sun and Neptune make a square that jolts your words. Instead, Gemini, you might want to focus on creative pursuits.

You’re always positive, but thanks to the sun square Neptune, you might be more inclined to believe something super unrealistic. Try to keep your head on straight, Leo. Oh, and don’t overspend this weekend. Virgo

Something just isn’t working for you, Virgo. You can’t seem to solve something, as it’s just feeling overwhelming for you. The best thing to do is to ask for help. Friends can help you too; you don’t always have to be the one giving. Libra

The sun is squaring Neptune today, which is putting things out of perspective for you. It’s best to stay flexible this week, since it’s likely that plans will follow through. Keep your cool, Libra.

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

SB Public Library invites authors to submit proposals for Local Author Days 2021 By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

COURTESY PHOTO

The Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 2019-2020 Leadership Lompoc Valley class donated more than $2,000 to the Lompoc Food Pantry.

Seven graduate from chamber’s Leadership Lompoc Valley class LOMPOC — The Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 2019-2020 Leadership Lompoc Valley class graduated seven participants on Friday, after having completed a successful fundraiser despite challenges presented by COVID-19. Each LLV class is required to organize a community project to fill a need in the community. This class chose to raise funds to support Bridgehouse Homeless Shelter and the Lompoc Food Pantry by

collecting monetary donations online through a virtual campaign as well as a food and clothing drive held at the Hilton Garden Inn. The food and clothing drive was held in November in collaboration with Hano Hano Shave Ice, which donated 20% of its proceeds during the event, according to officials. Amber Wilson, president and CEO of the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, said this year’s graduation is especially notable because of the challenges presented by COVID-19 restrictions. “We’re so proud of this class of graduates. Not only did they succeed in developing valuable leadership skills, they were able to successfully

keep their commitment to their class project, all while dealing with the current pandemic,� Ms. Wilson said. The purpose of Leadership Lompoc Valley is to identify and develop a diverse group of leaders with a special understanding of the Lompoc Valley and a solid foundation of leadership skills. Program participants become acquainted with various aspects of the Lompoc Valley through monthly Topic Days held during normal business hours on Fridays from September through May of each year. Topic Days include speakers, expert panels, and tours of businesses and public agencies of the Lompoc Valley. Approximately 75% of the class was completed in person

with COVID-19 forcing the LLV Board of Trustees to pivot and create three class topic days virtually. The class participated in a virtual graduation on Friday with Jeremy Ball, City Councilman and Past Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Chamber, as keynote speaker. The graduation featured a slideshow of class activities and the graduates received gifts including gift cards from Grocery Outlet, Lompoc Beans, LLV mugs, and graduation certificates. For more information visit www. lompoc.com/llv.html or call the chamber office at 805-736-4567. — Mitchell White

The Santa Barbara Public Library is inviting local authors, writers, publishers and researchers to submit proposals for virtual workshops for the library’s Local Author Days in late January. Local Author Days is an annual community event supporting the local writing community and increasing awareness of local author contributions in Santa Barbara. Two workshops will be offered over two weekends for the event, and this year, they’ll be virtual and open to all community members. The library is seeking individuals to propose interactive virtual workshops for local authors. One workshop on the craft of writing (plotting the story, researching and developing characters) will be selected, along with one on the business of writing (creating an elevator pitch, working with publishers and getting an agent). The workshops must be interactive and have a learning outcome and/or goal of a finished product. The project is open to all individuals at least 18 years of age, working and/or residing in Santa Barbara County. Individuals or teams can submit more than one proposal but will only be able to present one during the program. Individuals or teams must have access to Zoom to facilitate the workshop virtually. The workshops will be held Saturday, Jan. 30 and Saturday, Feb. 6, with the times TBA. Each session should be two hours each, for a total of four hours per workshop, and should accommodate a minimum of 25 people. Selected individuals will receive an honorarium of $500 per workshop, but additional funds will not be allotted for more than one presenter. Proposals must be submitted via online submission form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdU lNvkABB0CvVwrWLHN08Z0RV6QlriYDfD7IrL9M86x jbz7w/viewform by Friday, Dec. 11 at 8 a.m. Proposals from those working in the library’s service area will be given priority in the selection process. Workshops also must have clear interactive components between participants and leaders, and may include asynchronous work between the two inperson virtual meetings. Submitters may be asked to do a short interview with library staff. Teaching experience is not required, and the library staff panel will announce the decision by Dec. 19. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Loyola to give Gauchos their first big test

NEWS-PRESS FILE

UCSB will face off against Loyola Marymount at the Thunderdome tonight at 5 p.m.

By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

After sparring against a pair of basketball lightweights, UCSB will finally enter the ring against an opponent from its own weight class. Loyola Marymount, fresh off Friday’s 85-61 knockout of Big West Conference member Long Beach State, will visit the Thunderdome tonight for a 5 p.m. contest. The Gauchos will return the trip to Loyola on Saturday. “We’re going to play a very physical Loyola Marymount team,� UCSB coach Joe Pasternack said. “They’ve been challenged and we haven’t. They played Minnesota twice and should’ve beaten them the last time. “They’re ahead of us in the experience of playing big games. We still have to get the first one under our belt. It’ll be a great

challenge for us to see what we have to improve on to get ready for conference. That’s what non-conference is all about.� UCSB (2-0) ranks among the national team leaders in scoring margin (second at plus-54.0), scoring (fourth at 107.5 points per game), assists (first at 29.0), rebound margin (second at plus-33.0), and fieldgoal percentage (second at 61.8%). But those numbers are from the small sample size of two games played against two small opponents: Saint Katherine’s and Bethesda. But the contests did serve their purpose, Pasternack said. “Just to put a uniform on and go out with the lights on, I think it was good to get them that experience rather than their first game be Loyola Marymount,� he said. LMU (2-2), which has played only Division 1 opponents, has out-rebounded

its opponents by five per game. It lost the second of its two games at Minnesota on a last-second three-pointer, 67-64. The Lions are led by 6-foot-5 and 232-pound senior Eli Scott, the only player in school history to record a triple-double. He’s also just the second LMU player to surpass 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 250 assists in a career. Joe Quintana, a 6-8 junior guard, tops LMU in scoring at 13.5 per game after having torched Long Beach for a careerhigh 20. Dameane Douglas, a 6-7 forward who made the West Coast Conference’s AllFreshman Team last year, is at 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. Mattias Markusson of Sweden, the biggest Lion at 7-foot-3 and 265 pounds, is scoring at a 9.8-point clip. UCSB’s two returning all-leaguers, 6-9 junior Amadou Sow and 6-4 senior

JaQuori McLaughlin, have each missed one game so far with muscle strains. Sow scored 20 points in the Gauchos’ season opener but missed the Bethesda game. McLauglin returned from his own ailment to sink a trio of three-pointers and add seven assists on Thursday against Bethesda. Senior guard Devearl Ramsey is averaging 6.5 assists after two games. “They’ve got experience,� Pasternack said of his two playmaking guards. “Any season, you need experience, depth and talent, but it’s really all about the chemistry. “It’s not about your team on paper. How we come together as a team is what’s going to be big.� Three transfers have had strong starts to their Gaucho careers: 6-4 sophomore Josh Pierre-Louis (14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds) 6-10 junior Miles Norris (12.5,

7.0), and 6-3 sophomore Ajare Sanni (9.5 points). “The first game, you’re getting used to playing with the guys rather than going against each other in practices,� Norris said. “It’s only been two games, but I feel more comfortable already.� He claims to be well qualified to play in an empty arena. “I’m used to it, playing junior college last year,� said Norris, who won California Community College Player of the Year honors last year for the City College of San Francisco. “There weren’t too many people in the stands. “But as a team, we’ve just got to be loud altogether — on the bench and on the court, as well. The loudest bench is going to have a bigger advantage winning the game.� email: mpatton@newspress.com

Diners sit outside on the patio in front of Topa Topa Brewing Co. The brewery will be selling six packs and other to-go items during the shutdown.

Counties can be reevaluated for reopening starting Dec. 28 LOCKDOWN

Continued from Page A1

She said customers have been disappointed but understanding. “We’ve been through this before, so people know what to expect,” she said. To encourage year-end purchases, bottles of wine will be on sale — just in time for the holidays. The new order disrupts holiday plans, for the soonest counties can be reevaluated for reopening is Dec. 28. Hotels and lodging are only allowed to open for “critical infrastructure support only.” An unidentified group is advertising a peaceful protest with the phrase “We want happy holidays.” The protest is scheduled for Saturday. Dart Coffee Company, located at 121 E Yanonali St., was decked out in Christmas trees and smelled like cinnamon. A large table displayed its regular merchandise and bags of coffee. Owner Erika Carter hadn’t planned any additional retail offering, but she said the shop’s social media will announce any coming changes. She plans on keeping the storefront open during its regular hours for people to pick up coffee, but the garden and outdoor seating will close in accordance with the mandate.

Customers sip brews on Funk Zone patios Sunday afternoon. As of today, outdoor dining is closed.

Topa Topa Brewing Company, at 120 Santa Barbara St., will also be open during its regular hours for customers to pick up a six pack or a t-shirt. It’ll be releasing new brews as scheduled. Manager Michael Martinez says the setup is like a “glorified grocery store.” Customers can buy the product to take home. “I’m very grateful to be in the

Funk Zone and not State Street,” assistant manager Lanea Pearson said. “We have space to do it our way and in the safest way possible, and do it in a way that reflects our mission and our values.” She has enjoyed being able to space out customers beyond six feet. And the customers have responded well and said they feel safe.

“We’ve been able to set up a business model at each stage of the lockdown,” she said. The upcoming three weeks is not uncharted territory for the businesses that have persisted throughout the pandemic. Graham Hadidian, one of The Valley Project’s supervisors, said the shutdowns in Los Angeles and San Francisco brought business to Santa Barbara wineries. The tasting room, located in suite B of 116 E Yanonali St., gained members who couldn’t make trips out to Napa, CA. “The bread and butter of wineries is members, not drinks,” he said. “We have a longstanding commitment to members, so it’s frightening not having a place for tastings.” In March, online sales of bottles shot up in response to the stay-athome order. He predicts similar retail sales, allowing The Valley Project to continue paying its employees. He appreciates the customers and said many of the visitors to the Funk Zone have been very courteous and adhered to social distancing and mask protocols. The cafe tables lining the Funk Zone were mostly empty Sunday early afternoon, though a few small groups grabbed glasses in anticipation of hunkering down the next few weeks. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

SoCalGas wants to put in telecommunication facilities near Montecito bos

Continued from Page A1 Environmental Protection. “The 2021 Legislative Platform includes requests for project and program funding as well as legislation and advocacy for public service improvements that may increase revenue or improve service levels,” the board letter states. In addition, the board will be asked to consider the County and Montecito Planning Commissions’ recommendations to amend the County LUDC and Montecito LUDC for telecommunications facilities appurtenant to natural gas distribution facilities.

SoCalGas wants to install approximately 63 wireless signal transmitting and/or receiving natural gas telecommunication facilities in the non-coastal zone of the county, locating approximately eight facilities in the Montecito Community Plan area and the 55 facilities in the balance of the unincorporated county. “The facilities would monitor and transmit natural gas use information from customer meters and underground pipelines,” the board letter reads. “In part, these facilities would improve public safety by detecting gas leaks in underground pipelines.” The County and Montecito LUDCs currently require any natural gas company to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the new facilities, so the board directed the Planning

and Development Department to initiate amendments to the LUDCs to address this request. The proposed ordinances include three main components: a statement of the purpose, intent and applicability; the required permitting process for either a Zoning Clearance or LUP; and objective development standards. The meeting will be held virtually at 9 a.m. Tuesday. It will be televised on local cable channel 20 or livestreamed at http://www. countyofsb.org/ceo/csbtv/livestream.sbc or at the YouTube channel at https://www.youtube. com/user/CSBTV20. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

Council to receive report on 2021 Electoral Redistricting Program council

Continued from Page A1 unanimously scored Citygate Associates, LLC as the topranked proposer and the firm best positioned to meet the city’s needs based on Citygate’s experience in evaluating law enforcement agencies and alternative service delivery models; its track record of recommendations accepted by elected decision makers and collective bargaining units; and its public engagement approach and work plan to complete the scope of work; and, its seasoned and astute team,” the staff report reads. Citygate’s base proposal includes a community-wide survey, stakeholder interviews

and Spanish interpretation services for small- and large-scale engagement events. In other business, the council will receive a report regarding the 2021 Electoral Redistricting Program, which outlines the process for updating the city’s six council electoral districts to reflect 2020 U.S. Census data. The initial 2021 redistricting process will be conducted and a final map will be adopted by an Independent Redistricting Commission, which is composed of three retired state or federal judges who apply, are willing to serve, are not residents of the county and are qualified voters of the state of California. There will also be four public hearings before the hearing at which the map is adopted. The council will also hold

a quasi-judicial hearing on the appeal of the Parks and Recreation Commission’s failure to vote to approve, conditionally approve or deny the removal of the Deodar Cedar located in the front yard setback at 2934 Lomita Rd. A permit is required before the tree can be removed, and Ms. Marilyn Goldman applied for its removal due to accessibility issues while exiting vehicles, traveling over uneven ground and maintenance challenges. “The Street Tree Advisory Committee provided comments regarding the accessibility issues posed, and noted that it appeared that the issues could be resolved with construction around the tree to allow for a safe walking path, which would not require removal of the tree,” the staff report reads.

However, a majority vote was not reached, and Bob Cunningham appealed “the commission’s failure to vote resulting in approval without condition for the tree removal application on the basis that the tree is in good health and its removal would be a considerable loss to the community.” Lastly, the council will make appointments to the city’s advisory groups, not including the Community Formation Commission. There are currently 82 positions available for appointment to various groups.
