The City Council has asked staff to look into drafting a ballot measure for the 2018 election that would protect against development exceeding the size guidelines in the Downtown Community Plan (DCP), which was adopted after intense debate earlier this year. The request of Mayor Ted Winterer and Councilmember Kevin McKeown narrowly passed with four votes, relying on the caveat that most Councilmembers would not support any solutions that would require large developments go directly to the ballot box. “I don’t think we should be putting zoning and land use issues

before the voters,” Councilmember Tony Vazquez said before supporting the motion. “That’s why we get elected.” As Santa Monica’s elected leaders look ahead to 2018, the development debate during the last election is anything but a distant memory. Activists drafted Measure LV in 2016, which would have required voters to approve all developments over two stories in Santa Monica. Opponents criticized the lack of public process involved in the drafting of LV, arguing the citizen-drafted measure would have had unintended legal consequence for the city if it had passed. The measure failed SEE COUNCIL PAGE 7

The lifeguard headquarters at 1642 Ocean Front Walk will soon have a back up generator that would allow the site to stay up and running for 72 hours in the event the electrical grid fails. The City Council has approved a $227,139 contract with Global Power Group to install the generator along with a new sump pump and LED lighting on the interior and exterior. Construction work could begin as early as January next year and is anticipated to be finished by April 2018. “Upon completion of the facility modernization, the Beach Lifeguard Headquarters would be better equipped to continue providing important services to Santa Monica’s residents and visitors,”

reads a recent report from the Public Works department. The city-owned building does not currently have an emergency generator. The new pump will drain rain water out of the facility’s parking lot during storms. The lifeguard facility was originally constructed in the late 1950’s and has been staffed by Los Angeles County since the 1970’s. The County Fire Department provides year-round lifeguard coverage for the beach seven days a week, as well as round the clock emergency response and paramedic support. The City pays more than $5 million a year for the services. The ten-year contract will expire in 2019. As part of the agreement, the County supplies four emergency response vehicles, a rescue boat

Residents fortunate enough to already have control of one of Santa Monica’s 121 community garden plots throughout the city will experience some changes in the coming year as the program moves into a permitting process. The changes will not help those on the 580 person waiting list get a plot of land any sooner. The estimated wait time to get a plot is seven years. The permitting process will allow the Community and Cultural Services Department to update the current paper licensing system with a digital format, according to a report by the department’s director Karen Ginsberg. The report promises the new system will be more efficient, eliminating paper agreements that have to be physically carried in boxes to separate departments for approvals. The system also formalizes rules governing the Main Street, Park Drive and Euclid Park
gardens. For example, the city’s gardeners are expected to spend a minimum of five hours a week tending to their plots throughout the year. “Those kinds of rules are there to enforce active gardening,” said Talia Tinari, who chairs the Community Garden Advisory Committee. “You could probably spend a couple hours easily on the weekends weeding, planting, and harvesting.” Gardeners who need help are encouraged to enlist volunteers from the extensive waiting list of people waiting for plots. Once a resident has a community garden, they can keep it as long as they maintain an active garden and follow the rules intended to make good neighbors. Once someone gets a plot, they are responsible for purchasing all their own materials and tools as well as paying the City $100 per year. Tinari says her group and the city are both looking to expand opportunities for aspiring gardeners in the upcoming years. For examSEE GARDENERS PAGE 4

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Citywide
SMMUSD Elects New School Board Officers The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education elected new officers at its regular organizational meeting held December 14, 2017. Dr. Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein will serve as president and Jon Kean was elected to serve as vice president. The new officers assumed their duties following the election. Board members and district officials provided words of praise and thanks to outgoing board president Laurie Lieberman, who served the district in this capacity for three years. Lieberman was recognized as a great leader and consensus builder and was said to have led the district with grace, kindness and integrity. “It has been a privilege and an honor to serve in this role for three years, “Lieberman said. “We are making progress.” Dr. Tahvildaran-Jesswein also received positive comments for his dedication to the district over his one-year term as vice president. Lieberman commented that Dr. Tahvildaran-Jesswein is a terrific partner and listener and she enjoyed working with him as board leadership. Superintendent Dr. Drati noted the important role both board leaders provided to him as he was new to the district in January 2017 and how they worked closely with him to bring him up to speed on many aspects of district business. “I appreciate the hard work and dedication both Laurie and Richard have displayed this year, along with their interest in supporting all students,” Dr. Drati said. “They have been invaluable to me as I have settled into this position.” “I am honored to have been chosen by my colleagues to represent the Board as we all continue the good work of our district,” new Board President Dr. Tahvildaran-Jesswein said. “And, I’m particularly excited to support our superintendent as he and our academic team make substantive progress toward realizing our district mission, vision and goals.”

ple, Ishihara Park’s learning garden has been a major success – allowing locals to share the space instead of licensing it to a handful of people. “With all the new opportunities for people to be involved with gardening we set up some new rules to build a community,” Tinari said, who noted everyone shares in the produce that is grown there. “We specifically required using organic products and no pesticides.” With the permitting process streamlined, local gardening advocates are turning their attention to expanding opportunities to get a plot in Santa Monica.

and a Black Hawk helicopter. The Council awarded the construction contract to the lowest bidder, Global Power Group, Inc, which installed generators for the cities of Thousand Oaks, San Clemente, Anaheim and Coronado. “All respondents reported that work was completed in a timely and cost-efficient manner while maintaining consistent quality,” the report said.
Airport Park expansion include space for 60 new community garden plots. Plots are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. “You don’t have to be an experienced gardener but you do have to understand that it takes time and you have to make room in your life for gardening,” Tinari said. There are 73 community garden plots on Main Street between Strand and Hollister, 38 plots on Park Drive between Santa Monica Boulevard and Broadway, and 10 at Euclid Park at 1525 Euclid Street. The Euclid Street park includes two handicap accessible and three short-term plots. The City has explored the idea of dividing up large plots when they become available to give more opportunities to garden. kate@smdp.com
The Santa Monica building is one of four headquarters in the County. There are other locations in Marina del Rey, Zuma Beach and Hermosa Beach. The County employs about 120 full-time and 600 seasonal lifeguards who patrol 31 miles of beach and 70 miles of coastline. The approximately $28 million contract with Los Angeles County includes $485,000 in in appropriated funds for capital improvements that will be used to pay for the upgrades. kate@smdp.com

like these are on readers’ minds today, given the relentless hurricanes in the Southeast, the devastating wildfires in California and other climate-related “Acts of God” bedeviling Americans recently. No doubt, climate change is already having an effect on real estate values. Of course, the 40 percent or so of Americans who live in coastal areas are at most risk of financial loss, given rising sea levels and the increase in intense storms and attendant flooding. A recent analysis by Attom Data Solutions found that home sales in flood-prone areas grew 25 percent less quickly than in counties not prone to flooding over the last five years. “If sea levels rise as much as climate scientists predict by the year 2100, almost 300 U.S. cities would lose at least half their homes, and 36 U.S. cities would be completely lost,” says Krishna Rao, Director of Economic Product & Research at Zillow. Across the country, some 1.9 million homes—worth some $882 billion in the aggregate—are at risk of literally being “underwater” as sea levels rise in coming decades. Those states with lots of people living along their coastlines would be hardest hit. “More than one in eight properties in Florida are in an area expected to be underwater if sea levels rise by six feet, representing more than $400 billion dollars in current housing value,” reports Rao. But living away from the coast doesn’t guarantee your real estate values won’t be affected by climate change, given the increase
in extremely warm days across the country and the extension of the wildfire season across much of the West. Verisk, an insurance industry data analytics provider, reports that more than two million homes within California alone are already located in high risk zones. “The amount of fire that is projected to increase in a warmer world is an increase of anywhere between 100 percent and 600 to 700 percent, and that’s just with [a 1ºC increase in global average temperature],” says Mika Tosca of the non-profit Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). “And if we’re projected to see 6ºC of warming, you can imagine what’s going to happen.” To make matters worse, the insurance system isn’t keeping pace with the onslaught of climate effects. When Hurricane Harvey flooded Houston in late August 2017, 85 percent of the victims didn’t have flood insurance and had to start all over again financially. And while fire insurance may be required as part of owning property, the economic impacts of increasing wildfires—so far residential insured losses from the October wine country fires alone total upwards of $3 billion—could be a head shot to the insurance industry if it doesn’t raise premiums across the board accordingly. So even if your home isn’t directly affected by climate change, your pocketbook will be, given that everyone’s rates will need to go up to pay for an increasing number of catastrophic property claims.

with 56 percent of residents voting “no.” Instead of sending large developments to voters, staff members will consider requiring a super-majority vote of council to approve developments that exceed zoning code limits on height or floor area ratio. The City Manager’s office will come back to council with several options after consulting with the planning department, City Attorney’s office and other cities to determine best practices. Mayor Winterer said the ballot initiative would “reassure the public that now we have these land use standards in place that we plan to abide by them.” McKeown optimistically suggested it would assuage local fears of overdevelopment. “I think it is time to create space and a period of development peace by affirming to the community that we have a plan and plan to stick to it,” McKeown said. DCP guidelines allow streamlined approval for housing projects up to 75,000 square feet, with larger projects needing a development review permit or development agreement from the Planning Commission. The development process for larger housing projects up to 90,000 square feet is streamlined along Colorado Avenue to encourage density along the Expo Line.

“I think the best way to plan the city is have pretty clear rules and stick to them,” City Manager Rick Cole said. The DCP allows three large sites to build up to 130 feet, or about twelve stories, including the city-owned property at 4th and Arizona, the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, and the proposed Frank Gehry designed hotel at 101 Santa Monica Boulevard. Those projects will have to survive an established public process that includes a development agreement. Mayor Pro-Tempore Gleam Davis and Councilmember Terry O’Day voted against the idea of exploring more restrictions on the Council when it comes to large projects downtown. Davis and O’Day won the greatest percentage of votes in the 2016 election (17 percent and 16 percent). “This is not buying ‘development peace,’” Davis said. “It will just make for an incredibly contentious election in 2018. I think it will stir up more bad feelings than it will solve.” “What I’m seeing is a relatively nice period of calm,” O’Day said. “It feels like a solution search of a problem in my mind.” Councilmember Pam O’Connor was absent for the vote. She will be up for reelection next year if she decides to run again, along with McKeown and Councilmember Sue Himmelrich.

January shows at SMC’s Drescher Planetarium include exploring a new era in U.S. Spaceflight The Santa Monica College John Drescher Planetarium is pleased to present three special feature shows and a telescope-observing event in January. The feature shows – as well as our popular Night Sky Show – will be held on Friday evenings.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 18)
THE JANUARY SHOWS ARE: “NASA Commercial Crew Takes Flight” on January 5 and 26. A review and discussion of the dawning of a new era in US spaceflight as NASA’s two Commercial Crew providers – intended for use as crew “taxis” to the International Space Station, and to serve in ‘lifeboat’ roles – are poised for the first US-crewed test flights since the end of the Shuttle program in 2011. “Starbirth in Orion’s Sword” on January 12. An exploration of the Great Orion Nebula – a massive complex of dust and gas that is an active star formation region – and recent discoveries that reveal the hundreds of potential planetary systems forming within. Note: The January 27 telescope session will focus on Orion. Special Observing Event: “Orion, the Seven Sisters, and the Winter Hexagon” on January 19. Tonight’s feature show is an opportunity view the bounty of bright stars in the winter sky – including the constellations Orion the Hunter and the lovely Seven Sisters
– through a variety of telescopes, with guidance from the planetarium’s director. The feature shows are at 8 p.m. and are preceded by “The Night Sky Show” at 7 p.m., offering the latest news in astronomy and space exploration, a family-friendly “tour” of the constellations, and the chance to ask astronomy-related questions. The John Drescher Planetarium, which features a Digistar projection system, is located near the elevators on the second floor of Drescher Hall on SMC’s main campus (1900 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica). Tickets are available at the door and cost $11 ($9 seniors and children) for the evening’s scheduled “double bill,” or $6 ($5 seniors age 60+ and children age 12 and under) for a single show or telescope-viewing session. Call (310) 434-3005 or see www.smc.edu/eventsinfo or www.smc.edu/planetarium for information. All shows subject to change or cancellation without notice.

Strange Brew
By PETER GALLAGHER
SUBMITTED BY GRACE SMITH, SMC PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
By JOHN DEERING
It goes like this: You say you’ll do it, and then you do. Your follow-through won’t require willpower or selfcontrol. It will only require desire and deep commitment. It’s a year when you’ll use your words sparingly and with seriousness when it counts, yet much of the time, you’ll be lighthearted, juggling many fun experiences at once. Aquarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 22, 18 and 38.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
You’ve sought inspiration before, but this time the inspiration is seeking you. Do you believe in the muse? If so, she’ll whisper in your ear. If not, she’ll talk more loudly.
Today you’ll be particularly adept at the jobs that tap into your people skills. You’ll exercise your verbal, social and athletic muscles and make some money, too.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
You’re good with the strong personalities in your midst, and you’ve a way of neutralizing potential problems before they occur. You set a tone with your grace.
The experience of creating beauty (or even just intending to create it, as such outcomes are never guaranteed) really calms you down these days. This isn’t about art so much as it is about moments.
Agnes
By TONY COCHRAN
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) It’s hard to be a gracious winner when the win is very hard-earned and extremely welldeserved. It’s coming, though, so get ready to drum up some gracious humility.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) The only way to know your talents is to try things out. Don’t worry about the end game. No matter how much or little money you make in the name of creativity, you won’t be sorry you expressed yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Those who absolutely must have the best are invariably unsatisfied. If only the best will do, the best usually won’t do, as there’s always something better coming through the revolving door to take its place.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today’s frustration is something to explain instead of express. As you unpack the issues, you’ll examine them, pinpoint the problem and start to assemble a plan of action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The sun shines on all. Will you bask in it or seek shelter from it? Metaphorically, there’s some extreme brightness in your world now. To enjoy it and not get hurt, you’ll need symbolic sunscreen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Dogs of C-Kennel
By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART
The bees needn’t compete with the butterflies, and the sun has no need for competition with the moon. Nature’s features are quite naturally in balance today, and you’ll feel this in your own realm, as well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All things you own come with responsibility, even if it’s only the responsibility of keeping them in your space. Before you acquire, you’ll take a long pause to consider the total cost, which is not just the dollar amount of the thing.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Acting in a manner that’s brief and to the point will be an act of love on this day, when there is so much to accomplish. There’s great satisfaction in working efficiently with your peers.
Saturn Change Pre-show The study asked individuals to vividly imagine a fictional event. When asked about the event much later, many individuals mistakenly believed that the event had actually occurred. This phenomenon of memory is called “imagination inflation,” and it’s something to stay aware of as we get our ducks in a row before tomorrow’s big Saturn change.
