Spectators at illegal street takeovers can now face a misdemeanor in Long Beach Karla M. Enriquez iD gital d E itor

Spectators at illegal street takeovers can now face a misdemeanor or infraction, at the discretion of the City prosecutor, after the approval of an ordinance by the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday, March 8.

Councilmember Daryl Supernaw called the events “pervasive” and noted there have been 46 street takeovers (10 cars and spectators or more) in Long Beach in 2022 and 282 street takeovers in 2021.

Since the preliminary approval of the ordinance at last Tuesday’s council meeting, there was a street takeover in Belmont Shore, Councilmember Suzie Price said, which she called “scary.”

The ordinance targets spectators at street races, sideshows and reckless driving exhibitions and follows direction given by the council in July 2021.

The ordinance states a person would be considered “present” at a street race or “reckless driving exhibition” if they are within 200 feet of the location of the event or the site of preparations for either event.

A person’s previous participation or attendance at street takeover within three years can be used as evidence in court if they are found in violation of the ordinance.

Councilmember Daryl Supernaw, who requested the item in July 2021, noted that the ordinance is modeled after similar directives in Anaheim and San Jose.

n Wednesday, March 9, the outdoor patio at Trademark Brewing was alive with the sound of bean bags smacking and thudding onto wooden boards.

It’s the same scene every other Wednesday, when Long Beach Cornhole commandeers the 7,500 square-foot outdoor courtyard of the brewery for their bi-weekly tournaments.

“It doesn’t matter how old you are, how young you are, male or female, everyone participates. Some of the best players in the world are 9 and 10 years old. Some are women, some are older men,” said Pete Cuellar, founder and tournament director of Long Beach Cornhole. “That’s the thing I love about it, anyone can compete.”

This past Wednesday, 41 players paid their $15 entry fee and practiced on cornhole boards emblazoned with the Long Beach Cornhole logo, a shaka hand holding a bean bag.

Players tossed sacks in their hands for a couple of moments (the flatter the bag, the better the throw) and braced one leg in front of them before tossing the bags underhand, see LB CORNHOLE page 3

Signal Hill City Council considers smoking ban in new apartments n A ita W. a H rris Senior Writer

Smoking may soon be banned in new Signal Hill apartments after the Signal Hill City Council voted to draft an ordinance banning smoking in future multi-family housing developments on Tuesday, March 8.

The council will decide whether to approve the ordinance within the next couple of months.

“Over time, we would love to see the city become a completely non-smoking housing city,” Vice Mayor Tina Hansen said.

The City is planning to build more than 500 new apartments over the next eight years to meet State requirements for new homes affordable across income levels, from very-low to high.

The council got the idea of banning smoking in those new developments from the Youth Leadership Institute (YLI), a statewide nonprofit promoting community change through social justice and racial equity.

YLI presented research on the negative health effects of second- and third-hand smoke in multi-family homes at several Signal Hill commission and committee meetings in 2021. In January, the council agreed to agendize a discussion on banning smoking in all multi-unit residences.

Shalin Craig, YLI program manager for the Long Beach area, told the council that Signal Hill’s rates of chronic diseases including asthma, diabetes and heart disease are higher than those in LA County, and can be mitigated by smoke-free apartments and condominiums. see SMOKING BAN page 6

Donations for the Reading in the LB Sea literacy fair will be accepted through April 30 Emma DiMaggio Managing Editor

The Anaheim, Orange, Cherry, and 7th Street Neighborhood Association (AOC7) is collecting new and used children’s books for their annual literacy fair, which will take place in May. “We found that children from more underserved areas, the words that they learn are less than children in more prominent areas,” AOC7 board member Mary Simmons said. “We need to make sure that our children are reading, that they have access to books and that they have their own books.”

The association hopes to collect 3,000 new and gently used children’s books for the literacy fair, well below the number of books they’ve collected in past years, though they usually start collecting in January. (They’ve collected as many as 8,000 books in a single drive, though Simmons said the number usually sits around 5,000.)

The association is accepting book donations from March 1 to April

30 at four locations across Long Beach. They encourage the donation of books in English, Spanish and Khmer.

The fair, AOC7’s “signature event,” has been on hiatus for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Simmons said. This will be the association’s eighth annual literacy fair.

The literacy fair first debuted in 2012 as a way to prevent what Simmons called “the summer slide”—a trend showing that students lose significant knowledge in math and reading over summer break.

“When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was go swimming, go to the park […] I wasn’t raised in a family of book readers, but now I’m encouraging that because my grandkids are [readers],” she said, noting the group chooses to hold the fair in May before summer break starts.

Long Beach Unified School District literacy rates have already declined after two years of online learning. Data released in November 2021 revealed that one-third of LBUSD students are three grade levels behind in math and reading, with Black, Hispanic and Pacific Islander students most negatively impacted.

Although the group typically plans to give one or two books to each child, they usually leave with enough books for a small at-home library, she said.

“When they outgrow those books, they get passed along to siblings,” Simmons said.

The event will also feature a booth from Project Jumpstart, the Aquarium’s aquarium on wheels (thus the LB “Sea” name) and resource tents for parents. Participants will also receive a free lunch.

“They get healthy snacks, they get their bags packed with books, they go home will all kinds of resources,” Simmons said. “We try to bring everything, where it’s kind of like a one-stop-shop.”

This year’s event will be a dual celebration: one celebrating children’s literacy and another celebrating the association’s 2019 firstplace win for “Neighborhood of the Year” and “social revitalization” for their literacy fair from the national nonprofit Neighborhoods USA. Books can be dropped off at the Mark Twain Library (1401 E. Anaheim St), Chase Bank (401 E. Ocean Blvd), the Aquarium of the Pacific (100 Aquarium Way) and the Orange County Credit Unit (1802 Ximeno Ave).

At the end of April, volunteers from the association will organize the books and do quality control, making sure that books don’t have missing pages or drawings in them.

Those interested in volunteering with AOC7 can contact them through their website (www.aoc7neighborhood.com) or Instagram page (@aocseven).

The Reading in the LB Sea literacy fair will take place Sunday, May 21 at MacArthur Park, 1321 E. Anaheim Street.

Silverado Park Pool reopens after months-long closure Staff Report Signal Tribune

STREET TAKEOVERS Councilmember Suely Saro raised concerns at a March 1 meeting about the negative impacts the ordinance could have on local youth.

The Silverado Park Pool, located at 1540 W. 32nd Street, has reopened after a months-long closure for maintenance repairs.

“I’m very happy to see Silverado Park Pool back open to provide low-cost programs and recreation for residents,” Mayor Robert Garcia said in a statement. “City facilities like this have a positive impact on our neighborhoods and the lives of our youth.”

The Silverado Park Pool closed

to the public on Dec. 20, 2021 for regularly scheduled annual maintenance.

During that time, issues with the pool filtration system were discovered, according to the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department.

The pool remained closed until the necessary replacement parts were received in late February and the repairs were subsequently made.

“The Silverado Park Pool is an integral asset to the West Long Beach community, and I am pleased to see it reopen for our residents,” Councilmember Roberto Uranga said in

a statement.

The Silverado Park Pool was built in 1961 and renovated in 2007 with funding from the 2000 and 2002 State Park Bond Acts and the Federal Urban Park and Recreation Recovery program.

Silverado Park Pool is open at varying times on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for lap swimming; Monday, Wednesday and Sunday for water exercise classes; and Saturdays for swimming lessons. More information is available by calling 1-562-570-1721.

LB CORNHOLE

continued from page 1 aiming for a small hole in the wooden boards ten yards away.

Along with the sound of thumping bean bags were intermittent “ooh’s” and “ah’s” when bags narrowly missed their target.

Player Shanese Wells watched from the sidelines. She’s been coming to the tournaments since 2019 and encouraged newcomers to try out the game.

“It doesn’t matter what your skill level is. You don’t need to be a super athlete, there’s nothing that makes you better at this than coming and doing it,” Wells said, noting that she’s gotten better through the years with the help of cornhole veterans at the event. (She’s made the top bracket twice.)

Cuellar first started playing cornhole in his friend’s backyard in Los Alamitos around 2016.

“We thought we were pretty good,” Cuellar said, so the group looked for tournaments nearby to flex their skills.

At the time, the closest cornhole tournaments were in San Diego County and Ventura County.

“For a few years, that’s all there was,” he said.

He and a few friends would travel down to San Diego or Ventura (where the league boasts 1,000 attendees with $30,000 cash prizes) once a month, but he dreamed of ditching the drive for a more local scene.

When he learned Trademark Brewing was opening at the former site of a body shop, he knew they’d have the square footage to accommodate cornhole games. He reached out and they agreed to host the tournaments, and then he waited. The brewery didn’t open up for two more years.

When the brewery opened in 2019, Wednesday night cornhole was on.

“We started really, really slow,” he said. “Maybe 20, 30 people were showing up each week, which at the beginning is good.”

They held those tournaments for about half a year before COVID shut down the games. And when things reopened, their average increased to 40 to 50 people every week. On Feb. 20, their Sunday tournament attracted 94 players.

The cornhole community as a whole has grown since Cuellar first started playing. Players who once had to drive over 100 miles for a tournament can now find local tournaments in their area “almost every weekend,” Cuellar said.

“They’re everywhere.”

In 2017, ESPN started broadcasting the American Cornhole League.

Pete Cuellar, tournament director for Long Beach Cornhole, tosses up two branded cornhole bags before a tournament on March 9, 2022, at Trademark Brewing in Long Beach. The bags were filled with dried corn kernels in the past, but modern bags use plastic beads to maintain standardization.

Brewing tournaments (which welcome players ages 18 and up).

“I’m telling you right now. It’s gonna be an Olympic sport pretty soon,” Cuellar said. “I would not be surprised.”

Though Long Beach Cornhole sets up its games tournament-style (complete with an LED scoreboard), he said the group focuses more on community than competition.

“I have better friends here that I’ve met through this than I’ve had my entire life,” said cornhole player Pete Coil, who’s been playing for over a decade. “I get more invites from people here to go do stuff than from people I’ve known for 20 years.”

The growth of the community is assisted by the format of the game: switcholio.

Though many attendees come with partners, switcholio pairs up random players with each other to compete for positions in the A and B brackets.

“The reason you do that is because [Cuellar] wants you to meet everybody,” Foil said.

It also means that newcomers can be paired with veteran players, so no one team can dominate the competition (winners in each bracket leave with a cash prize).

“

It doesn’t matter what your skill level is. You don’t need to be a super athlete, there’s nothing that makes you better at this than coming and doing it.

—Cornhole Player Shanese Wells

Even when there’s not a tournament going on, Trademark Brewing has cornhole boards set up on the courtyard every day of the week so people can feel out the game.

Brewery owner and founder Sterling Steffen said that new players shouldn’t be intimidated.

“I was blown away, the skill lev-

el of these people is really impressive,” Steffen said. “But they’re really lovely people who are really enthusiastic that anyone new wants to join the fold. They’re not looking to kick your butt and make you feel silly. They’re just so excited that the sport is growing.”

Cuellar hopes to expand. He’s considering adding more bars to the group’s roster and potentially holding an outdoor event at the beach if he can get the permits.

“The most rewarding part is just creating something from nothing,” Cuellar said. “Building a platform in the city that I love of people that are passionate about the same thing.”

For those interested in playing, Long Beach Cornhole holds events at Trademark Brewing (233 E Anaheim St.) every other Wednesday.

Players are encouraged to pre-register, as the game maxes out at 50 players. For more information, visit Long Beach Cornhole on Instagram (@LongBeachCornhole) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/LongBeachCornhole).

The next tournament will take place on March 23.

“Bags fly at 6:30,” Cuellar said.

City asks for public feedback on upcoming Youth Climate Corps Staff Report Signal Tribune

The City of Long Beach is asking for public feedback on the development of the Long Beach Youth Climate Corps, a new climate-related job placement program set to launch in the summer of 2022.

“The Long Beach Youth Climate Corps supports and engages Long Beach youth in workforce development and instills a focus on climate change and adaptation in future jobs,” Mayor Robert Garcia said in a statement. “Long Beach is a leader in this critical work to support climate change by training our workforce to help our residents and our environment.”

The Youth Climate Corps survey is available on the City’s website (www.longbeach.gov/sustainability/programs/youth-climate-programs/youth-climate-corps) until March 10 at 11:59 p.m. and can be taken in English, Khmer, Spanish, and Tagalog.

According to the City, over the next two years the Youth Climate Corps will place 380 eligible youth between ages 16 to 30 in positions at public agencies and nonprofits to provide them with skill development, training and long-term job placement.

Young people enrolled in the Youth Climate Corps will be placed in roles involved with urban greening, urban agriculture, policy impact and food security, waste reduction and clean energy.

According to the City, the goal of the Youth Climate Corps is to bring together youth from communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic to work on urgent environmental problems while gaining paid work experience. The Youth Climate Corps Program will be funded by $6.3 million in grants through the State’s 2021 CaliforniansForAll Youth Workforce Development Program.

Stabbing victim in Long Beach homicide identified City News Service Southern California Local News

On March 9, County authorities revealed the name of a man who was killed in Long Beach during a confrontation with possibly two suspects.

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office identified Gavin Clason, 33, as the victim of the fatal stabbing.

The fight was reported at 8:45 p.m. Sunday, March 6 in the 3900 block of East Ocean Boulevard, according to Long Beach police Lt. Jason Garido.

Firefighters and paramedics were already tending to Clason when officers arrived, Garido said.

“Despite Long Beach Fire’s at-

tempts, they determined the victim to be deceased,” he said.

The suspects were possibly two men, and detectives were working to develop leads at a crime scene investigation, the lieutenant said.

According to the coroner’s office, Clason died of multiple stab wounds to the chest. His death was classified as a homicide.

ucked in the back of Long Beach Vintage there’s a small hub for pop culture relics of yesteryear specializing in pre-2000s vintage goods.

A look around the Can’t Quit You Baby Vintage booth will produce a Captain Crunch plush doll, a 1992 Street Fighter II lunch box and an X Men Animated Series VHS tape.

Vintage and collectible enthusiasts Freedom Tripodi and partner Lauren Rosenblatt handpick all of the toys, memorabilia and home goods available at the booth, which they opened in April 2021.

“We’re nostalgia fiends,” Tripodi said. “We were like ‘We can’t be alone, right?’ There [are] other people who miss this stuff, want it back or they never saw it before and they have to have it.”

The shop opened when the duo— long-time collectors of pop culture relics—moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn three years ago.

“The vintage scene out here is drastically different than New York,” Tripodi said. “It’s much more vibrant, there’s much more opportunity.”

LA Vintage Map lists 253 vintage shops in Los Angeles, 16 of which are in Long Beach, compared to just over 100 in the Brooklyn borough. Los Angeles is also home to the Rose Bowl Flea Market, which includes over 2,000 vendors specializing in vintage goods.

Tripodi started his collection in 1979 with Star Wars, G.I. Joe and Transformers figurines he started accumulating as a boy in the Bronx.

As his and Rosenblatt’s collection aged, it became vintage.

Today, Tripodi’s shop also carries remnants of the ‘70s for those who want a glimpse back at their childhood.

“This brings back memories,” wrote one commenter on an Instagram post of a 1978 Jim Davis Odie (Garfield) suitcase. “My brother had this one and I had the one with Garfield on it.”

People sharing memories on the shop’s Instagram is a common occurrence, Tripodi and Rosenblatt

Freedom Tripodi holds one of the more unique pieces, a TV tray that he upcycled with resin to have a He-Man poster embedded into it inside his shop, Can’t Quit You Baby Vintage, on March 8, 2022. In addition to the TV tray, there are more movie posters and pop culture icons encased in resin along the back wall of the shop inside Long Beach Vintage.

said.

“It’s actually pretty cool because people will sometimes tell stories about being out shopping with their mom and they would really want [an item] and they couldn’t have it,” he said. The shop serves as a patron’s chance at owning a toy they always wanted.

Collectibles, such as Ms. Piggy Dress Up dolls from the ‘80s or vintage troll dolls (there’s a pram full of the pink-haired dolls) are the shop’s bread and butter.

Tripodi and Rosenblatt scour online auctions, California thrift stores, flea markets, estate sales, and people’s personal collections in search of “treasures” for their shop—their favorite part of the job.

“It’s the best,” Tripodi said of the search. “Coming across this cool stuff, getting excited about it, reliving the memories and that combined with someone else being stoked about it.”

One of their favorite finds—currently in stock—is a light-up “Tales from the Crypt” crypt keeper candelabra dating back to the mid-90s based on the fictional character known for his humor and cackle.

The crypt keeper hosted the horror anthology television series which ran from 1989 to 1996 and whose popularity eventually led to an animated horror children’s se-

ries.

For the magazine enthusiasts, the shop has part of a wall (from the ground to eye-level) dedicated to vintage magazines such as MAD and Playboy. The rack is one of the shop’s latest additions.

Surrounded by classic items up for a second chance, Tripodi views his shop as “waste management.” “[We’re] keeping this stuff from going to landfills,” Tripodi said.

“Or it’s keeping people from buying [brand] new toys.”

Tripodi, who left his job in cannabis delivery to pursue his passion for vintage items and collectibles feels “awesome” to be surrounded by nostalgia. Rosenblatt splits her time as a creative director for a clothing company.

“It’s pretty rad,” Tripodi said.

“The idea that we’re making people happy simply just by providing a venue for them to relive their memories.”

LBPD identifies suspect in hit-and-run that killed dad and daughter iC y t Nesw reS iv ce Southern California Local e N s w

On March 10, authorities sought the public’s help to locate a 24-year-old man suspected of a hitand-run in Long Beach that killed a 42-year-old man and his 3-year-old daughter.

Octavio Montano was allegedly driving a 2014 Ram 1500 pickup truck northbound on Rose Avenue, near East Artesia Boulevard, about 10 p.m. on Mar. 1 when the truck “left the roadway and collided with an apartment building, killing two of the occupants inside,” the Long Beach Police Department reported.

Montano allegedly fled the scene on foot following the collision.

Jose Palacios Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene, while his daughter Samantha Palacios was taken to a hospital, where she later died.

Montano was described as a Hispanic man who is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and unspecified tattoos on his right forearm.

Neighbors told KTLA5 they believe the suspect had been at a local bar before the crash.

“There is nothing but problems at this bar,” Renette Mazza, president of the Hamilton Neighborhood Association, told the station.

“The neighborhood has outgrown this bar. Nobody from this neighborhood comes here. They serve people until they can’t walk.

They leave the bar drunk, and then they go into our neighborhood. Hitand-runs happen all the time here.

And now we have a family that died.”

Anyone with information on Montano’s whereabouts was asked to call LBPD Detective Kevin Johansen at 562-570-7355. Anonymous tips can be called in to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or submitted online at lacrimestoppers. org.

RETIRED COUPLE

SMOKING BAN

continued from page 1 About half of Signal Hill housing consists of multi-family units, according to Economic Development Manager Elise McCaleb.

Craig said YLI spoke with apartment residents in a door-to-door campaign and observed babies and small children being exposed to second-hand smoke. She encouraged the council to create an ordinance banning such smoke.

“Leaving public health decisions in the hands of individuals is not an equitable or effective strategy,” Craig said.

YLI member and Signal Hill resident Chiyelum Nwagboso said her step-sister developed asthma as a child due to second-hand smoke traveling through air vents in her apartment complex that improved once she moved to a smoke-free building.

Several other local youth spoke during the council meeting in support of banning smoking in multiunit housing, including 17-year-old Signal Hill resident and youth advocate Miriam, who did not state her last name.

“I have to cover my nose at times if one of my close neighbors is smoking to avoid inhaling the second-hand smoke,” she said. “People who live in apartments are at higher risk for third-hand smoke exposure because previous tenants may have smoked indoors.”

Hansen said she was particularly swayed by YLI’s information that even if a smoking family moves out of a home, residue from nicotine and tobacco smoke can remain in the carpeting and walls.

“They may be subjected to chemicals they don’t know about,” Hansen said of a new family moving into such a home.

Therefore, Hansen asked City Attorney Matthew Richardson to draft an ordinance making the City’s planned new affordable housing units smoke-free. Richardson said the City has “broad discretion” to work with owners on implementing such a policy.

Councilmember Lori Woods suggested that the policy might put “social pressure” on landlords of existing multi-family residences to make them smoke-free to prevent tenants from moving to newer, non-smoking dwellings.

“We strongly encourage any current multi-unit housing [owners]— especially low-income housing— that as smokers move on, […] they gradually only rent to non-smokers,” Woods said. “It’s just an idea.”

McCaleb said state law allows landlords of multi-unit residences to impose their own rules regarding smoking, avoiding the need for a citywide ban. A citywide ban on residential smoking could create equity issues if low-income residents who wish to smoke in their homes become displaced, McCaleb said.

The City currently only bans smoking in workplaces and the State also prohibits smoking in building entryways, playgrounds, bars and restaurants, daycare centers and in cars with minors.

Landlords can legally prohibit smoking in their residential properties and the State also grants homeowners’ associations (HOAs) “full authority” to impose such a ban on their properties, McCaleb said. City Manager Hannah Shin-Heydorn said she did not know if any Signal Hill HOAs currently prohibit smoking.

Neighbors can also create a voluntary agreement to limit smoking to defined areas and tenants can ask for “reasonable accommodation” from landlords and HOAs if their health condition is worsened by second-hand smoke, McCaleb said.

Hansen commended YLI youth advocates for providing “food for thought for all of us” at their presentations to the council and City commissions and committees last year.

“I look forward to continuing discussion to improve public health in Signal Hill,” Mayor Keir Jones said.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1875 OREGON AVE, LONG BEACH, CA 90806 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $352,214.95 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the

successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000634-21-1.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 702-659-7766, or visit this internet website www.insourcelogic.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000634-21-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

CITY OF SIGNAL HILL TST6659 PUBLIC REVIEW Revised Draft Housing Element for the City of Signal Hill 2021-2029 Housing Element Update Project Title: 2021-2029 Housing Element Update Project Location: All lands within the City of Signal Hill’s General Plan Planning Area which is located in the southwest corner of Los Angeles County (County) and covers approximately 2.2 square miles in size.

Project Description: The City is preparing an update to the Housing Element of the existing General Plan for the October 2021 to October 2029 Planning Period. The Housing Element is one of seven required elements of the General Plan per the California Government Code, beginning at Section 65583. Generally, State law mandates updating the Housing Element every eight years. The Housing Element serves as a policy guide to address the comprehensive housing needs of the City. The primary focus of the Housing Element is to ensure decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for current and future residents of the City, including those with special needs.

The City is required to ensure the availability of residential sites, at adequate densities and appropriate development standards to accommodate its fair share of the regional housing need, also known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.

The Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) RHNA allocation for the City identified a housing need of 517 housing units with approximately 45 percent of the 517 units needed for very low- and low-income households. The RHNA allocation for the City includes 161 very low-income units, 78 low-income units, 90 moderate-income units, and 188 above moderate-income units. Housing Inventory Sites will be identified within the Housing Element for the development of up to 718 housing units, in line with the recommendation of the California Department of Housing and Community Development to allot for 15 to 30 percent above a local government’s allocated housing units. The Project also identifies four Housing Inventory Sites as required by Government Code section 65583.2 (a).
