Downtown development taking center stage at Planning Commission BY MATTHEW HALL Daily Press Editor

It will be a big night for City Hall at the Nov. 16 Planning Commission meeting with discussions focused on the proposed addition to City Hall and a review of zoning changes for Downtown Santa Monica. CITY SERVICES BUILDING

A five-member Commission was unable to come to a decision about the proposed City Hall expansion at their Nov. 1 meeting and the item was continued with the hope that issues could be resolved without jeopardizing the project’s timeline.

Taxing rich won’t solve California’s boom-bust budget issues

Washington’s new power trio consists of a bombastic billionaire, a telegenic policy wonk and a taciturn political tactician. How well they can get along will help determine what gets done over the next four years, and whether the new president’s agenda flounders or succeeds. President-elect Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell make up an unlikely alliance, one defined in advance mostly by Trump’s opposition to

Though Californians voted to continue taxing the rich to bolster public schools and fund health insurance for the poor, keeping the status quo does not mend state government’s underlying fiscal frailty. In some ways, the passage of Proposition 55 could subject California’s budget to greater volatility. While the ballot measure helps stabilize funding for education and Medi-Cal, it increases California’s reliance on a small group of taxpayers whose fortunes determine the health of state spending that this year tipped $122 billion. Proposition 55 extends until

The City wants to build a 45foot tall building at the rear of the current City Hall. As proposed it is three-stories plus a basement for a total floor area of 50,200 square feet and is being built to one of the highest sustainability levels possible. At the Nov. 1 meeting, at least two commissioners were uncomfortable with the design of the building and initially voted against the project. After additional discussion, the project was continued to allow time for staff to present additional information. In addition to reviewing the building itself, the commission needs to

SMPD Awarded a $300,000 State Grant The Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long program of special enforcement and public awareness efforts to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries. SMPD will use the funding as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to keep our roadways safe and improve the quality of life through both enforcement and education. “I am encouraged by the continued support from the California Office of Traffic Safety and its commitment towards promoting safety on the roadways in Santa Monica.” said Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks. “The grant will assist the department in providing several methods towards improving traffic and pedestrian safety.” After falling to a ten-year low in 2010, the number of persons killed has climbed nearly 17% across the state with 3,176 killed in 2015 according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Particularly alarming is the six year rise in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities, along with the growing dangers of distracting technologies, and the emergence of drug-impaired driving as a major problem. This grant funding will provide opportunities to combat these and other devastating problems such as drunk driving, speeding and crashes at intersections. “Years of research tell us that enforcement and education work best jointly to combat unsafe driving,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “This grant brings both tactics together, with the Office of Traffic Safety and the Santa Monica Police Department working in concert to help keep the streets and highways safe across Santa Monica and the state.” Several of the activities the grant will fund include: educational presentations, DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, bicycle and pedestrian safety enforcement, motorcycle safety enforcement, distracted driving enforcement, and seat belt/child safety seat enforcement. Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Local Nonprofits to Launch Program Identifying Sources of Pollution in Los Angeles River Water watchdog Los Angeles Waterkeeper, in partnership with long-time river advocate Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR), has announced the launch of the River Assessment Fieldwork Team (RAFT), a joint water monitoring program, which engages community scientists to monitor water quality of the Los Angeles River. RAFT prepares volunteers with the training, supervision and equipment needed to collect scientifically accurate water quality samples and data from storm drains along two sections of the LA River in Glendale and Maywood, while empowering residents to contribute to the dialogue surrounding LA River restoration. Most Los Angeles waterways are significantly polluted. This pollution poses serious health problems for residents and for wildlife. Monitoring efforts have found that the Los Angeles River is exceeding government water quality standards. Yet there is currently a lack of data concerning the sources of pollution. RAFT is building on other ongoing water quality studies, such as by the Council for Watershed Health and Heal the Bay, while taking a community-driven approach. “At a time when there is a great amount of dialogue surrounding the future of the LA River, we need to make sure that we have a stronger understanding about the health of our waterways so that we can prioritize their ecological health in planning efforts,” says LA Waterkeeper Watershed Program Manager Melissa von Mayrhauser. “Combining data collection with coalition-building and community partnerships will be key to making this effort a success.” RAFT combines the strong legacy of community engagement and historic advocacy work of Friends of Los Angeles River with the successful advocacy and policy experience of Los Angeles Waterkeeper. “RAFT adds sorely-needed resolution to existing water-quality data for the LA River, and crucially provides a platform for existing communities to participate actively in the stewardship of its own waterways,” says Stephen Mejia-Carranza, FoLAR’s Community Programs Manager. “As we continue to define a more accessible and ecologically healthy Los Angeles River, it would be insincere not to have communities participate and help drive that effort.” Decisions about the shared waterway have historically been dominated by city, county, and federal agencies who managed the River as little more than a flood control channel. Los Angeles Waterkeeper and FoLAR say RAFT gives the community a new voice in the future of the Los Angeles River and a stronger focus on the river’s ecological health. RAFT’s first project is a six month pilot study investigating the levels and types of water pollution that pass through Los Angeles storm drains in the Maywood and Glendale sections of the LA River. These data will allow LA Waterkeeper and FoLAR to compare pollution loads in two ecologically distinct sections, both soft-bottom and concretized.

approve a change to the current Civic Center Plan as the existing document calls for the building to be built on Main Street, not behind City Hall. If the project is not approved on Nov. 16 the appeals and/or revision process could push approval into early 2017 and staff have said the entire project would need a substantial, and costly, redesign to meet new codes that come into effect Jan. 1, 2017. DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY PLAN

It’s taken five years to develop three versions of a new zoning document for Downtown Santa Monica and the Downtown Community Plan is now heading into its final round of revisions starting with a presentation at Planning Commission on Nov. 16. Staff will ask the Commission to provide feedback on several issues based on the last round of community input that included a new website, 32 public meetings, three workshops, focus groups, and online survey and downtown walking tours. “This conversation has touched thousands of individuals from all walks of life who live, work or visit the Downtown, and who have expressed a diverse range of opinions or perspectives on its evolution as the historic crossroads of community, culture and commerce,” said the staff report.

CALIFORNIA FROM PAGE 1

2030 income tax increases that voters first approved four years ago, when school districts grappled with layoffs, ballooning class sizes and cuts to programs such as music. The tax kicks in at 1 percent for single filers who earn more than $263,000 each year, or $526,000 for families. Residents who earn more than $1 million annually will continue to pay an extra 3 percent of income to the state. With Silicon Valley, Hollywood and other high-value industries, California mints enough millionaires that budget experts project the taxes will generate between $4 billion and $9 billion annually. That range shows just how volatile income tax revenue can be. Revenues can surge thanks to an exuberant Wall Street, but cuts are severe when the economy stalls. Political leaders from both parties have long talked about taming this boom-bust cycle but had little appetite for doing so once the revenues start booming again. A “rainy day” reserve that voters beefed up two years ago at Gov. Jerry Brown’s urging is now pushing $8 billion, which has helped. Yet California remains vulnerable to fluctuations because revenue relies on the wealthy, whose income comes less from steady wages than investments such as stocks. About one-third of all revenue comes from taxing California’s top 1.5 percent of earners, according to number crunchers at the independent state Legislative Analyst’s Office. The funding flow from Proposition 55

The DCP covers 229 acres bordered by Wilshire, the Freeway, Lincoln Blvd., and Ocean Ave. In addition to providing rules for height and density, the plan covers cultural arts offerings, open space, traffic, congestion, pedestrian safety and transit options. According to the staff report, the last version of the plan met with mixed results. Efforts to increase historic preservation met with public approval but increased development standards were criticized. Several minor revisions will be proposed Wednesday including improved detail, clarifications on standards/guidelines, revised parking requirements, improved visuals and updated references. Major revisions include expanding preservation options by expanding the Bayside Conservation District, reducing height in that district to 60 feet, establishing a new conservation overlay in zoning documents, limiting tenant size in existing buildings, reducing the Development Agreement threshold to 60,000 square feet for mixed use projects, modifying the mixed use standards on Lincoln, studying fee increases, encouraging ridesharing/autonomous vehicles and increased transit options. The Planning Commission will meet on Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 1685 Main St. For more information, visit http://www.smgov.net/Departments/PCD/B oards-Commissions/Planning-Commission. editor@smdp.com

extends the taxes just long enough to last past the term limits for the current crop of state lawmakers. It could let elected leaders funnel more into favored social welfare programs or punt on finding savings elsewhere, such as overhauling public employee pensions. Against this backdrop, Proposition 55 nudges California back toward less budget stability by creating an “incremental increase in volatility,” according to Ryan Miller, principal budget analyst at the Legislative Analyst’s Office. And whenever the next recession hits, tax revenues from Proposition 55 might not be enough to shield public education and Medi-Cal from crippling cuts. “It will certainly make things worse in terms of leaving the state vulnerable to fluctuations of the economy,” said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which argues for lower taxes but did not mobilize against the ballot measure. No large activist groups did. Powered by tens of millions of dollars in union-backed spending, Proposition 55 passed Tuesday with 62 percent of the vote. One lingering question remains: Is there the political will to refashion the state’s tax structure so that revenues are less volatile? Probably not, though there is broad agreement in principle that tax reform makes sense. “There are some inequities in our tax system, and we have to have that conversation,” said Eric Heins, president of the California Teachers Association union, which backed Proposition 55. “While we’re having that conversation, there’s still a first-grader in the classroom who needs to learn to read.”

including potential presidential ambitions of his own, may depend in part on how effectively he manages the relationship with Trump. The speaker’s tepid embrace of Trump during the campaign angered some conservatives in his conference, stirring talk that he could face a challenge to his speakership. But Ryan’s enthusiastic response to Trump’s victory appears to have diminished any appetite for a leadership coup. The wide majority he will continue to enjoy next year — with at least 240 Republicans in the 435member House, compared to 247 now — also reduces the potential for mischief by a small band of disgruntled conservatives. “Victory soothes lots of differences,” said GOP Rep. Chris Collins of New York, a top Trump backer. “The mood of us right now is we can’t waste any time with recriminations and finger-pointing. My God, we won!” Unlike Ryan, McConnell was quick to endorse Trump as soon as he clinched the GOP nomination. McConnell never wavered on that, nor provoked Trump’s ire over Twitter. At 74, McConnell has reached the long-sought pinnacle of his career as Senate majority leader, and unlike Ryan, 46, has no potential higher ambitions to manage. Just as important, McConnell is known for professional relationships that are all business and have nothing to do with personality. So even though the closed-mouth Kentuckian would seem to have nothing in common with a freewheeling, thrice-married Manhattanite like Trump, allies say that doesn’t matter to McConnell. That said, both men could face opposition from members of Trump’s inner circle, particularly Stephen Bannon. Bannon was chief executive of the conservative news site Breitbart before assuming a role in Trump’s campaign and is under consideration for a senior spot in Trump’s White House. Just before Ryan’s primary race in July, with Bannon still at the helm of Breitbart, the site called the speaker a hypocrite for building a “border wall” around his Janesville, Wisconsin, mansion when he refused to support Trump’s southern border wall proposal. Breitbart continued attacking Ryan this fall, publishing a lengthy post titled, “He’s with her: Inside Paul Ryan’s months-long campaign to elect Hillary Clinton president.” Breitbart has also slammed McConnell, criticizing him over occasions where he bestowed lukewarm praise on Clinton and criticized Trump’s undisciplined campaigning. What position Trump gives Bannon versus Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, a Trump confidante and close Ryan ally, may be a signal as to how the incoming president plans to collaborate, or not, with the congressional leadership.

the Washington establishment that Ryan and McConnell exemplify. Trump and Ryan clashed throughout the campaign, with Trump taking offense when Ryan initially refused to endorse him and later distanced himself over the audio of Trump talking about groping women. “Paul Ryan, a man who doesn’t know how to win (including failed run four years ago), must start focusing on the budget, military, vets etc.,” Trump groused over Twitter last month. But that was then, this is now, as Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, said Thursday after meeting with Trump at the Capitol. “The past is in the past,” Ryan said in an interview on Fox News Channel. “This was an unconventional year, he was an unconventional candidate, but the point is we unified, especially at the right point, at the end. And it worked.” Indeed, thanks partly to Trump’s coattails, Ryan and McConnell limited expected losses to their majorities and will enter the new administration with control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. For now the glow of victory appears to be soothing past tensions. And Republicans aligned with all three note they have something very important in common: They need each other. “Ryan needs Trump to accomplish his policy agenda,” said GOP Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, in comments that apply to McConnell as well. “Trump needs Ryan to get things to his desk.” There are well-known policy disagreements to navigate on issues like trade, immigration, Medicare and Social Security, where Trump’s proposals and campaign rhetoric often flew in the face of Ryan and McConnell’s standard business-friendly Republican approach. But Trump’s own unfamiliarity with the tedious business of legislating, and unformed policy positions in some cases, may give Ryan and McConnell a unique opportunity to fill in the details. That would be a welcome role for both - McConnell as a deeply experienced legislator and dealmaker, and Ryan as an eager wonk who chaired the Ways and Means Committee before becoming House speaker. Ryan is steeped in details on reforming taxes and reshaping entitlement spending — although Trump has been critical of Ryan’s past budget proposals. “I don’t think there’s any question that a President Trump will be looking for legislative expertise,” said Josh Holmes, McConnell’s former chief of staff. “Some of that comes from the staff that he hires, and some of that will come from allies on Capitol Hill.” Moreover, Ryan’s personal political future,

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14)

By PETER GALLAGHER

Strange Brew

By JOHN DEERING

Money doesn’t always require hard work. Successful relationships are not always forged in tremendous effort. It’s your year to hit the “easy” button. Get rid of your assumptions regarding effort so that all you have is an open mind. Spring features beautiful, exciting connections. Summer is a moneymaking bonanza. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 44, 19 and 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

If the cause is right, the aim is true, and the intent is pure, it really shouldn’t matter what your chances of success are. Anyway, once you see the light, your heart won’t let you turn away from it.

Show your love when it’s happening, when it’s welling up in your heart. Don’t hold back. Don’t be afraid. When you treat the present like it’s all you have, it will also be all you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Negative comments often sound more realistic than positive ones, but that’s more of a learned bias than anything else. The positive, hopeful words will be more true to life today, not to mention more fun and empowering.

When you exceed expectations and make people smile, you derive such pleasure from this! It’s become something of a game to you. The only thing is, in order to create the desired effect, you have to keep doing more and more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Hot water is only one of the things that keeps you clean. Oxygen to the brain caused by exercise and by people who make you laugh will also be part of today’s purification process.

With a stranger you can be whoever you want to be. You can stay true to who you’ve been, or you can branch out and try something new. You have fun with this today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Because good manners have been so engrained in you, you often respond to the cue to say “thank you” before you start to feel grateful for something. Today you’ll touch someone with your genuine expression of gratitude.

You’re remarkable because you dare to reach. If you strive for Neptune or Alpha Centauri and you land on Europa instead, well, you’re still a world away from where you were.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Part of your charm is that you always think of something kind to say, though at times like this the circumstances make it more challenging. “I’ve had a perfectly lovely evening. But this wasn’t it.” -- Groucho Marx

The limit-testers in your life seem to take pleasure in testing yours and then watching your reaction. Try this: Don’t react. People usually stop pushing the button that appears not to be working.

Agnes

Dogs of C-Kennel

By TONY COCHRAN

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Sin is when a person knows it’s wrong but does it anyway. When a person doesn’t know better, that’s not sin; it’s ignorance. It’s not appropriate to punish ignorance with anything other than knowledge.

Since the only constant is change, learning to deal with it calmly will help you conserve your energy and stay powerful. Practice is the only way. Keep riding the changes with as little resistance as possible.

Zack Hill

By JOHN DEERING & JOHN NEWCOMBE

Taurus Supermoon The sensual Taurus moon focuses on our experience of luxury. Taurus is the sign both of money and appetite, and those two things will swirl together to create a deep wanting for sensory satisfaction. The fact that this is also a full moon and a supermoon turns the wanting to desire or even obsession, at least for one night.
