Police force to get body cameras KATE CAGLE After a successful seven-month pilot program, the Santa Monica Police Department is moving forward with plans to purchase body cameras for the force. More than fifty officers participated in the pilot which started in September of last year. While the City is still analyzing all the data collected from the program, the overwhelming majority of pilot program officers saw a significant benefit to the technology, according to a new report from the SMPD. Officers thought the presence of the cameras improved both citizen’s behavior and their own.

■ 77 percent believe the cameras give a more accurate account of what transpired ■ 76 percent thought it would improve officer training ■ 68 percent said field employees will act more professionally ■ 55 percent thought the cameras would decrease the number of citizen complaints against officers Under the pilot, it was up to the individual officer to activate the recording feature on the camera while contacting members of the public.

The makeover of the Waldorf Astoria in New York City may have repercussions in Santa Monica, as City leaders look for ways to prevent luxury condominiums from popping up by the beach. Nearly two years after China’s Anbang Insurance Group Co. bought the Waldorf for nearly $2 billion, the hotel has become a construction zone. When the building finally reopens, the hotel’s function will be permanently transformed with hundreds of new

private condominiums hitting New York’s luxury real estate market. Only some of the historic building’s 47 floors will remain a hotel in two or three years. “International investment trends show multi-national corporations gobbling up American hospitality facilities, sometimes to cash them out by conversion of hotels into luxury condos,” said Councilmember Kevin McKeown, who has introduced an item on Tuesday’s Council agenda to direct staff members to look into ways to keep it from happening here. The memorandum looks to

“explore ways to protect hotel tax revenue, jobs and employment opportunities, preservation of visitor-serving uses in the California Coastal Zone and controls on coastal land use intensification under Santa Monica’s 1990 Prop S.” Anbang also owns Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel on Ocean Avenue near Olympic Drive. Santa Monica’s largest union, Unite Here Local 11, is in the middle or negotiating a new labor contract there for housekeepers, bellmen and other workers. Unite Here also represents workers at two SEE CONDOS PAGE 6

CITY OF SANTA MONICA Request for Bids

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Santa Monica invites Contractors to complete and submit bids for the:

Citywide

Ocean Pollution reduction partnership In partnership with the Surfrider Foundation, the Standard Hotel has committed to replace all in-room plastic water bottles with glass bottles, and all plastic straws with paper straws at both its Hollywood, and Downtown LA locations. “After meeting with The Surfrider Foundation and learning about the damaging impact of our single-use plastic bottles and plastic straws, we knew we had to change our practices immediately,” said Felipe De Paz, a spokesperson for The Standard. “We hope that this initiative incentivizes other hotels to adopt more sustainable measures and that our donation per bottle will help the Surfrider Foundation reach even more people with their message of water conservation and coastal protection practices.” Each year, an estimated 5-13 million tons of plastic flows into oceans, much of it comprised of single-use plastic consumer products such as bags, bottles, straws, caps, and wrappers. It is now believed that if the flow isn’t drastically curbed there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050, according to an Ellen MacArthur Foundation report launched at the World Economic Forum in 2016. The primary proven solution to combat this problem lies in source reduction and the elimination of single-use plastic products from consumer streams. “It’s absolutely refreshing to see a company dedicated to being a proactive part of the solution to the plastic pollution crisis plaguing our oceans,” said Graham Hamilton, Surfrider Foundation’s West LA / Malibu Chapter Coordinator. “By committing to sustainable product sourcing to reduce single-use plastics in our waste stream, The Standard has shown that it truly is an Ocean-friendly Business.” The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and. Founded in 1984 by a handful of surfers in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation now maintains over 500,000 supporters, activists and members, with more than 80 volunteer-led chapters and 60 clubs in the U.S. The Standard Hotels have locations in Hollywood and Downtown Los Angeles, the latter of which was originally constructed as the headquarters of Superior Oil.

Pier Railing and Lighting Replacement and Deck Upgrade – Area 4 SP2465 Bids shall be delivered to the City Clerk’s Office, 1685 Main Street, Room 102, Santa Monica, California, 90401, not later than 2:30 p.m. on July 19, 2017. Each bid shall be in accordance with the Request for Bids. The Request for Bids may be obtained by logging onto the City’s Finance website at: https://www.planetbids.com/portal/portal.cfm?CompanyID=15167. Contractors wishing to be considered must submit a Bid containing all information required pursuant to the City’s Request for Bids.

What are some ways people are using games to help reduce their carbon footprints?

Leah McNeil Colchester, CT

ENVIRONMENTAL

ADVOCATES

AND

organizations are increasingly employing gamification—defined by Merriam-Webster as “the process of adding games or game-like elements to something...so as to encourage participation” — to get people to learn about environmental problems and take action to reduce their carbon footprints and overall impact. To wit, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Ecoresearch.net and the DecareboNet research project have partnered on a “game” called Climate Challenge that gets everyday people to pit their predictions about climate change and its effects against the opinions of experts around the world in an effort to see if the “wisdom of the crowd” can come up with answers faster than the experts alone. Players are encouraged to research answers to questions about things like annual Arctic Sea Ice minimum coverage or the monthly average global surface temperature before submitting their answers. According to Climate Challenge creators, it’s not cheating to research to find the best answers; indeed, it’s the goal. Players can come back every month for new questions, and see how they are doing compared to experts, friends, and even the collective “crowd” — and can win prizes by guessing closest to the actual value for a given question each month. Another game focused on educating people about climate change is EduCycle, from Finnish game designer Neste. The free augmented reality (AR) app encourages players to design a city’s transportation, buildings

and farms while cutting greenhouse gas emissions to levels specified under the 2015 Paris climate accord. “By simulating the carbon cycle in real life,” Neste maintains, “the game teaches kids and adults about the effects of global warming.” Save Ohno is a creative take on gamification for the sake of the climate, courtesy of concerned college student Dylan Husted. The main character in the free online game is Ohno, who represents the player’s great granddaughter and is impacted by climate change in the future thanks to our actions and behaviors today. On the game’s SaveOhno.org website, players can see Ohno’s town get destroyed by extreme weather. But when players take positive action in the real world, the conditions in Ohno’s online (future) town improve accordingly. Players can improve Ohno’s world by following tasks suggested within the game, and can also plug in real world campaigns and activism they are involved with to improve Ohno’s town. “An example ‘campaign’ could be a petition to get your local school to invest in renewables,” says Husted. Meanwhile, World Climate Simulation is a role-playing exercise whereby groups can take part in mock United Nations climate negotiations and learn what it’s like to work with others to craft global environmental policy. The game uses an interactive computer model that allows participants to find out how their proposed policies impact global climate in real-time. All the tools and materials for the World Climate Simulation are available for free and multiple languages are supported.

Bank of America has announced it has awarded nearly $2 million in economic mobility grants to 70 nonprofits working to increase basic needs, education and workforce development opportunities in greater Los Angeles. Nearly one-quarter of residents over 25 years of age do not have a high school education and only 21 percent have a high school diploma or the equivalent, according to a 2016 report from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. Paired with an extremely high cost of living, these low levels of educational attainment create an underprepared workforce in which people are unable to put a roof over their head or food on the table. Without access to basic resources and work skills, the cycle of poverty becomes harder to break. The nonprofits receiving funding will help underserved people in Los Angeles chart a path toward greater economic mobility by improving access to food, shelter, benefits and other fundamental needs. Funding will also help nonprofits provide career readiness resources such as mentorship and skills training and offer financial education to families – work that aligns with Bank of America’s commitment to creating diverse paths to economic opportunity. “We recognize that addressing immediate basic needs as well as connecting people to long-term success through skill-building and jobs are critical to achieving greater economic mobility,” said Raul A. Anaya, Los Angeles market president, Bank of America. “For example, partnering with nonprofits like JVS Los Angeles allows us to help people find economic stability through career readiness and new employment opportunities.” “JVS Los Angeles is deeply grateful for the longtime partnership and support of Bank of America, one of the founding donors of our BankWork$ program which helps lowincome Angelenos find entry level jobs in the banking industry,” said Alan Levey, Chief Executive Officer, JVS Los Angeles. “This generous grant will enable us to expand all of our career training programs and offer people the skills, resources and compassionate support they need to lift themselves out of poverty.” Other organizations receiving grants include: Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Streetlights, Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission, CARACEN, Boys & Girls Club of Carson, Boys & Girls Club of Venice, City Year Los Angeles, Goodwill Southern California, Los Angeles Team Mentoring, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, University of Southern California, Chrysalis, AltaMed Health Services, Chinatown Service Center, California Council on Economic Education, Project GRAD Los Angeles, Virtual Enterprises International, California Science Center, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, A Place Called Home, Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, After-School All-Stars, Boys & Girls Club of Burbank & Greater East Valley, The Music Center, Teach for America, Loyola Marymount University, Brotherhood Crusade, Special Olympics Southern California, Eva Longoria Foundation, Salvadoran American Leadership and Educational Fund, PUENTE Learning Center, City of Los Angeles Workforce Development Board, Aquarium of the Pacific, Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach, White Memorial Medical Center Charitable Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, New Directions for Veterans, Inner-City Arts, Los Angeles Urban League, TELACU Education Foundation, Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center, Junior Achievement of Southern California, Valley Economic Alliance, South Central Scholars, UNITE-LA, YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley, Bet Tzedek, United Way of Greater Los Angeles, People for Community Improvement and Los Angeles Opportunities Industrialization Centers, People Assisting The Homeless (PATH), Long Beach Rescue Mission, Downtown Women’s Center, Covenant House California, Union Rescue Mission, Inland Valley Hope Partners, Ocean Park Community Center, Koreatown Youth + Community Center, The Midnight Mission, Center for the Pacific Asian Family, EngAGE, Central City Neighborhood Partners, Los Angeles LGBT Center, United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Shelter Partnership, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Union Station Homeless Services, St. Barnabas Senior Services, LA Family Housing, KHEIR Center and Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. The grants in Los Angeles County are part of nearly $43 million in grants the Bank of America Charitable Foundation is providing across the country to advance economic mobility. These grants are a part of the company’s commitment to responsible growth as it works to improve financial lives. Philanthropic and volunteer investments from employees play a key role in this effort to build thriving communities. In 2016, Bank of America employees in Los Angeles collectively spent 46,000 hours volunteering with local organizations, and the bank awarded more than $6 million in grants to local Los Angeles nonprofits.

other hotels Anbang purchased as part of a $6.5 billion deal with the Blackstone Group that included a total of 16 properties in 2016. “We are very concerned because we really don’t know who owns Anbang,” said Elliott Mallen, a researcher for Unite Here. “There’s been a lot of unanswered questions about their ultimate sources of financing and who controls the company. Those questions have remained unanswered.” In a letter to Anbang’s managing director Philip Yee in May, Unite Here requested to see the group’s hotel management agreement regarding the Loews, residential conversion documents and Anbang ownership documents. “Anbang’s willingness to pay much more than the previous owner for the properties heightens our concern that Anbang may be seeking an alternative use for some or all of the hotels. Any conversion – either partial or full – would have a significant impact on the number and quality of jobs at the hotel,” reads the letter obtained by the Daily Press. Anbang is an insurance, banking and asset management company based in Beijing and could not be reached for comment. Its

website lists real estate investment as one of it’s five investment strategies, according to a Chinese/English Google translation. Mayor Ted Winterer and Councilmember Tony Vazquez also backed McKeown’s request for staff members to explore ways to protect hotel rooms near the coast. “While the existing hotels provide solid middle-class jobs and reliable revenue to pay for City services, luxury condos would do neither, and would diminish the visitor-serving facilities encouraged by California’s Coastal Act,” McKeown said in an email to the Daily Press.“Multi-national corporations might profit, while luxury condo owners would further gentrify our beachfront,and our Santa Monica community would be the loser. We need to explore ways to control what international money can do with our beach.” Santa Monica voters passed Proposition S in 1990 to prevent new construction along the coast, expressly prohibiting large,new construction west of Ocean Avenue between the Santa Monica Pier to the north and Seaside Terrace to the south.

Assemblymember Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) has honored Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran and Brentwood resident Grant Royal as the 2017 Veteran of the Year for the 50th Assembly District. “Grant distinguished himself as a leader and teacher during his service in the Marine Corps,” said Bloom. Today he distinguishes himself by serving as a role model and assisting other veterans as they re-integrate into civilian life. I want to personally thank him for his contributions to our country, our state, and our community.” Grant Royal served in the United States Marine Corps from 2004-2012 and during that time he deployed three times and led a 6-man combat team during Operation Iraqi Freedom with the First Battalion First Marines. One deployment was to the Babil Provence and the two other deployments were to the Al-Anbar Province. During this time he held billets such as radio operator, point man, assistant team leader, and Scout Sniper Team Leader. In 2008, Grant reported to the First Marines Division Sniper School in Camp Pendleton, California to serve as a Sniper Instructor. In 2009, Grant and his partner competed in and won the 9th Annual International Sniper Competition in Fort Benning, Georgia and were the only Marines to win in the event’s seventeen year history. He was part of the 1st Marine Division and stationed at Camp Pendleton for his entire enlistment. Grant left the Marine Corps in 2012 and immediately began attending Santa Monica College. Soon after, he transferred to UCLA where he eventually graduated with a degree in anthropology in the spring of 2016. While at UCLA, Grant worked at the campus veteran resource center helping veterans as they re-integrated to civilian life. Currently, Grant is a law student at Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, serves as Vice President of the Veterans Legal Society, and works as a volunteer Law Clerk at the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in the Hardcore Gang Division. — SUBMITTED BY SEAN MACNEIL, CHIEF OF STAFF ASSEMBLY MEMBER RICHARD BLOOM

CAMERAS FROM PAGE 1

nals the camera is on. The officer does not have to obtain consent to record when in a public location where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy or when the officer is engaged in the performance of official duties, according to Lt. Saul Rodriguez. However, Rodriguez says officers are encouraged to be sensitive to privacy concerns and may turn off the camera when privacy outweighs law enforcement interest in the recording. The SMDP is two years behind the Los Angeles Police Department, which rolled out 7,000 cameras for its officers in August 2015. The LAPD has a similar policy to the Santa Monica pilot, where it is up individual officers to turn on their cameras before or during incidents. A recent review by the Los Angeles Times found four officer-involved shootings since the program began that were not caught on camera because the officers did not turn them on. Purchasing 60 in-car cameras and 330 body worn cameras for SMPD will cost the City about $700,000, including hardware and software. In addition, the City will likely negotiate a $315,000 agreement with Watch Guard Video, Inc to maintain the equipment for up to five years. The Texas-based company will also store and archive the video for about $600,000 for up to five years. The City Council will consider approving the deal at their next meeting on Tuesday, June 27. The SMPD is required by State law and

City policy to retain all video for up at least three years. The video will be stored locally for up to 90 days at the Public Safety Facility before it is archived to a cloud-based solution hosted by Microsoft. The server exceeds FBI standards for security, according to the City’s Chief Information Officer Joseph Cevetello. The Police Department has had in-car video systems since 2016; however, the current system is no longer supported by the manufacturer and is due for replacement. The new system will integrate the car and body cameras to capture moments from multiple angles. “Aside from having the ability to examine a single incident from multiple perspectives, a fully-integrated system ensures synchronization for date and time while providing an efficient single software application for authorized personnel to retrieve and export video footage,” reads the report from Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks and Cevetello. The cameras are the latest gadget to be added to the police force this summer. The City Council approved new smartphones for officers at their last public meeting. The 345 “rugged mobile phone tablets” from Panasonic cost the City about $730,000. The “toughpad” tablets advertise military grade toughness and can survive thirty minutes underwater, ten-foot drops onto solid concrete and subzero temperatures. Once the system is up and running, it will be the first time smartphones are part of SMPD’s standard issued equipment.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 26)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

The next 10 weeks will build up your confidence. September is your chance at a prize you’ve wanted since you were a child. New trends begin in November. You’ll improve according to whom you have around you. The help you gave long ago will boomerang back in the form of excellent luck at the close of 2017. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 50, 33, 2 and 28.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Try to see the neutrality in things this week. Nothing is worse or better than it is, except when you choose to think of it that way. Your thoughts will make it so.

To remain true to your core won’t be a rigid stance but a flexible one. Great strength sways with the wind and weather like the ancient trees do, reaching roots ever downward as they grow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re not always looking for a robust learning experience. You just want to know how to make it work. You’ll appreciate those who can get to the point and show you how to fix it without too much backstory.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) The challenge calls for a vision into the far-off future. If you can’t get a good idea of what’s to come, you can at least have faith that it’s something good. It’s important that you don’t sell your future for a quick fix today.

Agnes

By TONY COCHRAN

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) It feels like you started this journey ages ago, but you’re not in the final stretch yet. You’re not even halfway there! Be consistent with your efforts and march on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Don’t worry about the money so much. Creativity will take over where the money leaves off. In this and other ways the ends will find their own magical way of meeting.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) You wanted to know, but you were afraid to ask. Your chance comes today. You can speak candidly and others will not be offended, because your question holds within it the innocence of a child.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A school of thought is like a brick-and-mortar school in that the one you attend will change everything -- the people you know, the activities you become involved in, even where and how you live.

To ask “What’s in it for me?” isn’t selfish today; it’s practical. And if you don’t negotiate it, who will? It would be irresponsible to depend on others to be your No. 1 advocate when you’re perfectly suited for the job.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The teacher will not recruit a class; instead the students will seek a teacher. For this reason, don’t wait around for the opportunity to learn. Decide what you want to know, and go find someone who knows it already.

Even though people yearn for excitement, they also crave predictability. There’s a balance to be struck here, and you’ll succeed in bringing a little of both to a relationship.

To create is to feel vitality flowing through you, to be animated by the force of life. The nature of the material world is to have an ending, but the nature of creation is to live on.

Dogs of C-Kennel

Zack Hill Mars and Neptune Harmonize If you boiled your tone down to its essence -- the primal drumbeat and the tribal chant of it -- what’s the feeling there? Moods come and go, but most people have a rather consistent set point their outlook hovers around, and it’s a good thing to know about yourself. A Mars and Neptune trine will bring some selfawareness and harmony on the subject.
