FREEDOM FROM FEAR
It was Saturday morning. As usual, I was driving my children to Chinatown for them to attend Chinese language school. The ABC radio station cut through programming to report live from Beijing. The reporter was in Tiananmen Square and the loudspeaker was on. Suddenly he said the lights in the square were turned off and tracer bullets shot across the square. People were running and there were the sounds of gunfi re; he had to get out but then the radio station didn’t carry his voice anymore, just sounds of people coming through. Tears streamed down my face. Surely I should have expected that the pro-democracy movement would end with repression but with weeks of following the news from China, I willed myself to believe that fi nally China would change. My 10-year-old daughter asked, “Mama, what is happening?” I answered weakly, “They are getting rid of the students.” I feared the worst. After Chinese school, we went to the Chinese Consulate. There were some Chinese students from Hong Kong with their microphone and many others from the community. Older ChineseAmericans brought water and paper cups. We exchanged phone numbers. A reporter was talking to my elder daughter. That evening, the local news showed the reporter asking my daughter if she knew what was going on. She answered: “The people in China want freedom.” A week later, on a Monday morning, the radio station reported about a replica of the goddess of democracy statue that was crushed in Tiananmen Square and appeared in front of Los Angeles City Hall on a pedestrian bridge. Tom VanSant and members of Visual Artists Guild had built the 23 feet tall replica of the statue. As VanSant attended the City Hall meeting that morning to gain approval for
the statue, a 4.5 earthquakestruck. The statue did not tumble down and the city subsequently allowed the statue to stay for a month. Thirty years have now passed. My daughters have now grown and have families of their own. Still we remember. We remember those who perished; we remember those who disappeared; we remember those still imprisoned; we remember those who were forced into exile. For a short shining moment in the spring of 1989, the people in China, inspired by the students, suddenly found themselves speaking the truth, expressing their own China dream. It was then that they gave each other a precious gift, a gift of freedom, the freedom from fear. May we continue to share that gift. ~ ANN LAU CHAIR, VISUAL ARTISTS GUILD
MY, MY, MYLAR
Glendale Water & Power (GWP) is reminding customers that metallic or mylar balloons and power lines do not mix. Power outages caused by mylar balloons coming into contact
with power lines are on a record pace. Last month Glendale residents experienced two power outages related to mylar balloons. A total of 3,055 customers were out of power for about 44 minutes. Two other reports of mylar balloons in power lines were reported and crews cleared them before any additional power outages resulted. The months of May and June are when most outages related to metallic balloons occur due to Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduation celebrations. GWP urges customers to make sure balloons are always tied to a weight, as required by California law, and to never release them outdoors. “Outages caused by these metallic balloons are frustrating for our customers and can also cause a lot of damage to our system. It takes time to safely remove balloons from the power lines, restore power, and repair any damage they may have caused,” stated Steve Zurn, general manager of Glendale Water and Power. The safest metallic balloon is a secured one. Only properly weighted balloons should be sold to customers, and buyers should never remove the balloon weights. Releasing metallic balloons is a risk to public safety. Serious injuries and property damage can occur when the balloon contact is severe enough to bring down power lines. To prevent outages and injuries, GWP recommends the safety tips below for handling metallic balloons: • Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon or any object tangled in power lines. Instead call (818) 548-2011 to report the problem. • Never tie a metallic balloon to a person’s wrist. If the balloon contacts electricity, it can travel through the balloon and into the person, causing serious injury or death. • Never attach streamers to any latex or metallic balloon. • When done with balloons, puncture them several times or cut the knot and throw them in the garbage to prevent them from floating away. • If you see a downed power line, stay away and call 911 immediately. Visit bit.ly/mylrbln for mylar balloon information and safety tips.

•GUEST OPINION• BY TERRY TORNEK
WRONG ANSWER
T
PUNISHING CITIES THAT PLAN IN GOOD FAITH IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO OUR HOUSING CRISIS
he city of Pasadena opposed the most current version of Senate Bill 50, which would have completely removed density limits and increased building heights along our major corridors, while eliminating single-family zoning citywide. These changes would have amounted to a statewide rezoning without any consideration of local context, growth planning strategies, or public outreach. That is why I am thankful that state Sen. Anthony Portantino, who represents Pasadena and our neighboring cities, did the right thing by putting SB 50 on hold so work can continue to improve the bill to the point where it does not punish cities that have taken initiative to encourage housing. To be clear, the people of Pasadena are acutely aware of the statewide housing crisis, and acknowledge that cities must take significant steps to encourage housing production and affordability. The effects of the housing crisis are felt locally, with steadily increasing rents, homes that are unaffordable to the general workforce, and a high number of people experiencing homelessness. In response, Pasadena has taken important steps to address these issues in a balanced manner. Pasadena’s recently updated General Plan has reaffirmed our dedication to the establishment of vibrant, mixed-use “transit villages,” with allowed densities ranging up to 87 dwelling units per acre, floor area ratios up to 3.0, and heights ranging from 40 to 75 feet in areas closest to our six light-rail stations. Since January 2014, Pasadena has approved over 2,700 new residential units, and an additional 2,600 new residential units are currently under review. These projects have resulted in the issuance of permits for nearly four times Pasadena’s regional allocation for above-moderate income units, and we continue to make meaningful progress toward meeting our allocations for lower income households. Furthermore, 87 percent of the new residential units that have been approved since 2014, as well as 67 percent of the new units currently under review, are within a half mile of a transit station. And our efforts haven’t stopped there. Less than a year ago, our City Council passed an ordinance that makes it easier for motels to be converted to permanent supportive housing. Pasadena has also had an inclusionary housing ordinance since 2001, which requires new multi-family projects to set aside 15 percent of units for low- and moderate-income households, and is currently studying ways to incentivize additional production of affordable units beyond our current requirements. Finally, the City Council recently instructed staff to take the necessary steps to approve a 70unit, mixed use permanent supportive housing project to serve homeless seniors on city-owned land. While Pasadena’s efforts are by no means perfect and continual evaluation and selfreflection are always needed, it must be underscored that none of these achievements could have been possible without community consensus for these policies, achieved only after many years of analysis, environmental review, and engaging in robust dialogue with the community through countless public outreach efforts. The resulting long-term vision — and the related goals, policies, standards and guidelines — have ultimately led to the development of an unprecedented amount of new housing units within walking distance of transit stations in Pasadena, while balancing that growth with the preservation of our single-family neighborhoods. However, the provisions of SB 50 undermine the many efforts that Pasadena and other cities have undertaken as part of a more holistic community planning strategy, rendering the local planning process meaningless. While many of the steps we have taken are generally consistent with the proposed density and height waivers in SB 50, Pasadena’s vision goes beyond simply placing housing near stations. It recognizes that quality places consist of complementary uses, including housing, jobs, retail, and other amenities, as well as thoughtful urban design and transit connectivity. That is why our high-density zones also include provisions for mixed-use, live/work, height averaging, and height transitions. I recognize that not all cities have made the same efforts to produce affordable housing or embraced land use policies that encourage transit-oriented development. Many cities across California remain out of compliance with their housing elements and actively discourage development of new housing altogether, let alone affordable housing. Many cities have also done little to plan for and incentivize increased density near transit service, and a state-mandated measure may be needed to address these cities. A problem as complex as the housing crisis deserves an equally sophisticated solution. Any attempt to establish statewide zoning needs to be much more thoughtful than the blunt approach offered by recently proposed legislation. The city of Pasadena is thankful to Sen. Portantino for not allowing SB 50 to move forward in its current form and looks forward to working toward legislation that does not destroy community planning. ■ Terry Tornek is the mayor of the city of Pasadena

n May 2018, the leaders of Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design and downtown Los Angeles development firm Gilmore Associates entered into an “exploratory agreement” for the Gilmore group’s Main Museum in the Historic Core.

Fourth St., and on May 16, ArtCenter DTLA officially opened, with the exhibit” Going Clear,” displaying work from students in the masters of
With local high schools conducting their graduations last month, now is the time for all local upperlevel graduates to receive their diplomas, with both Caltech and Pasadena City College holding commencement ceremonies on Friday, June 14. At Caltech, about 500 students will receive their diplomas at a ceremony set for 10 a.m. at Beckman Hall, 1200 E. California Blvd. Expected to address the graduates is Dr. France Córdova, a 1979 alumnus of Caltech who is an astrophysicist and administrator who serves as director of the National Science Foundation. In 1993, Córdova became the first woman and youngest chief scientist at NASA. At PCC, some 1,200 graduates will participate in the annual commencement at 7 p.m. in Robinson Stadium, 1570 E. Colorado Blvd. Giving that school’s address will be local artist and ArtCenter College of Design alumnus Simon Silva. Although all students graduate in one ceremony, PCC celebrates its minority graduates in separate events. PCC’s Black Graduation, which acknowledges the work of each black graduate, was held on May 31 in the school’s Creveling Lounge. Latinx Graduation, which recognizes the work of diverse bilingual students, was also held last Friday, only in Sexson Auditorium. Silva, whose work represents his MexicanAmerican upbringing and heritage, earned his associate’s degree from Imperial Valley College and then went on to earn his bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. Due to limited seating, PCC’s ceremony is a ticketed event. Each graduating student will be issued four tickets to provide for friends, family and supporters. PCC will also be live-streaming the ceremony for any guests who are unable to attend. Caltech’s graduation will be held on a firstcome, first-served basis with no tickets required. The ceremony will also be live-streamed on Caltech’s website. Local high school students marched in graduation ceremonies in Pasadena last month. The ceremonies kicked off on May 24 when students from Center for Independent Studies and Rose City High School received their diplomas at Pasadena High School. Students at Blair and Pasadena high schools received their diplomas on May 30 in a ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Students from John Muir High School and Marshall Fundamental School marched in commencement ceremonies on May 31. — André Coleman and Caroline Kimbel

OFFICIALS AT SANTA ANITA RACETRACK REFUSE TO CANCEL REMAINDER OF MEET AFTER TWO MORE HORSES PUT DOWN BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Despite the deaths of two more horses last weekend at Santa Anita Park, officials have refused to cancel the final two weeks of racing at the track. “It is our understanding that Santa Anita management, after consultation with certain other industry stakeholders, believes that for a variety of reasons, the future of California racing is best served by continuing to race,’” the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) said in a prepared statement. The call to suspend the meet came after the horses Formal Dude and Truffalino were euthanized on June 8 and June 9, respectively, after collapsing during their races. Formal Dude suffered a fall that led to irreparable injuries. Truffalino suffered a heart attack, according to ESPN. The latest two incidents bring the total number of horses put down to 29 since December. The meet, or the season of events, is scheduled to end on June 23. However, the CHRB does not have the authority to suspend racing without the approval of the track operator or holding a public meeting that requires a notice of 10 days. On Monday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein again called for suspending horse racing at Santa Anita. Feinstein first called for the meet to end in late May. The Los Angeles Times has also called for suspension of racing at the track. “Either the rules aren’t strong enough or the rules aren’t being followed,” said Kathy Guillermo, senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). “But whatever the reason for the deaths of two more horses, Santa Anita needs to listen to the California Horse Racing Board and shut down. It should not re-open until full-leg scan equipment is in place, since most pelvis injuries also show lesions in the legs; the dirt track has been replaced with a safer synthetic surface; and the district attorney’s investigation into trainers and veterinarians is complete.” PETA has already called for an end to horseracing in California, and Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he supports Senate bill 469, authored Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa), which would make it easier to suspend horse racing at a given venue. The track closed briefly after the 21st horse died in March and officials put new safety protocols in place to protect the horses, including banning race-day medication, increasing transparency of veterinary records, further regulating approval for workouts, and increasing reviews of the track’s surface. Also after the death of the 21st horse, LA County District Attorney Jackie Lacey opened an investigation into the deaths, which is ongoing. Some experts believe the injuries have been caused by an extra hard track created by track officials in response to this year’s above average rainfall. n

AFRICAN SISTER CITY DELEGATION TO VISIT PASADENA BY ANDRÉ COLEMAN
Pasadena officials will lay out the red carpet for the mayor of Pasadena’s first African sister city next week. Mayor Alioune Ndoye and dignitaries of DakarPlateau in the Republic of Senegal will visit the Pasadena Mayor Alioun Ndoye City Council at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 17, during the council’s meeting in City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. To commemorate the occasion, Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek is holding a reception for Ndoye and his delegation from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 18, in the City Hall courtyard. Councilman John Kennedy called Ndoye a man of integrity and a visionary. “The city of Pasadena is overjoyed to welcome its first sister city on the continent of Africa where so many African Americans have historical roots,” Kennedy said. Ndoye and other dignitaries, who will take part in discussions about commerce and business during their time in Pasadena, will also visit schools, museums, cultural centers, a historical church, Caltech, Tournament House and the Rose Bowl. The Pasadena City Council unanimously approved the city’s first African city sister in August. Dakar-Plateau, Senegal joins Ludwigshafen, Germany; Mishima, Japan; Järvenpää, Finland; Vanadzor, Armenia; and Xicheng District in Beijing, China as a Pasadena sister city. Dakar-Plateau has a population of nearly 37,000. The city is less than two square miles and serves as the political, financial and commercial center of the country’s capital of greater Dakar. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded the Sister Cities Program to reach global peace and tolerance through a people-to-people concept of linking US cities with foreign communities around the world. Currently, 1,060 US cities have sister city ties with more than 1,900 cities in 120 nations. Pasadena formalized its Sister Cities chapter in 1960. n 8 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.13.19

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FILMMAKER STEVEN SNEED HITS THE STREETS OF PASADENA TO FIND THOSE MOST AFFECTED BY GANG VIOLENCE STORY AND PHOTOS BY PATRICIA CUNLIFFE
T
o some, Pasadena represents wealth, mansions, galas, fi nancial and educational opportunity, annual parades and nationally televised football games. In this world of “old money,” fi ne dining is a nightly affair and trips to a local live theater of choice in the family Jaguar are regular events. To a growing number of others, however, Pasadena, especially Northwest Pasadena, is a lattice of mean, often deadly streets where a person has to think long and hard before calling the police because they don’t know if they’ll get shot, get help or end up in prison. This is the same neighborhood where people open up convenience stores that sell malt liquor and individual cigarettes to minors and keep loaded guns behind the counter. The same neighborhood that the more affluent part of the community seems to have forgotten about or have turned their backs on when it comes to allocating resources that will benefit the inhabitants of that area. Is it any wonder that kids raised in a society that makes them feel as if they do not matter would gravitate toward an environment that makes them feel as if they do — whether or not that welcoming place is one that is positive. Steven Sneed, 39, has worked with local youth since he was 19. As a child growing up in Pasadena, his own life was impacted greatly by gang violence — he’s lost friends and family to the justice system and witnessed the murder of a man. After surviving many close encounters with gang culture, he made a conscious decision to dedicate his life to intervention work with youth. In 2017, Sneed was a districtwide intervention specialist with the Pasadena Unified School District, participating in a Positive Connections Mentoring Program at Jackson, Franklin and Madison Elementary schools, and at Washington Middle School. Sneed also created a gang prevention presentation for Washington and Elliott Middle schools, Rose City High School and four classes during the Skills Summer Program. “A lot of the students were excited and came to me afterward and spoke about some of the things that they had gone through,” Sneed says, “It made me feel that what I was doing was actually needed.” So when his position ended abruptly, due to budget cuts, he decided to take an inventory of friends with skills and resources to help determine what his next move might be. As he explains, “I didn’t want my efforts to die with the position. I felt that the passion was bigger than the job, and I wanted to continue my efforts.” In that journey, Sneed realized that he had many intelligent friends who are educators, producers, engineers and songwriters. “I started to think about how to bring all those together to create one thing.” Sneed recalls, “I woke up and thought, I’m going to make a movie.” And that’s exactly what he did.

As executive producer and director, Sneed recruited Jason Hardin of Hardway Enterprise and Michael Towns to join the team as co-producers; Frank Gibbs, Thomas Bunn and Brian Biery as associate producers; music supervisors Paco Swartz and James Broadway; and drone operators DeAndre Weir and Dale Harrell to join in the no-budget project. All were intent not on making money but creating awareness, bringing people together through open dialogue and hearing different perspectives about the impact of gang violence in Pasadena. “The reality is that a large portion of the residents of Pasadena have no idea that we have had a serious gang problem over decades, so it is very important to share that story. In addition, the stark reality of the challenging social and economic conditions that contribute to gang activity are generally overlooked or brushed over,” states Biery, co-founder of Pasadena Neighborhood Leadership Institute. “With this backdrop in mind, when Steven Sneed approached me to participate in the project I immediately thought it was a fantastic idea. Documentary fi lms can have great power to shape societal consciousness through story-telling and Steven had a clear vision of what story he wanted to follow and ultimately tell.” “Pasadena: Exploring Solutions to Reduce Gang Violence,” a true labor of love which took 10 months to complete, has screened at the Laemmle Playhouse 7 Theatre, the Jackie Robinson Center, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and most recently at Pasadena City College. Principal photography was by Steven Sneed, Jason Hardin and Michael Towns. The fi lm was edited by Sneed, Towns and Thomas Bunn. This is not just another documentary fi lled with studies and statistics, utilizing overdone effects and graphics to hold your attention. This fi lm goes into the streets and talks to people who are actively involved in every capacity, on all sides of the issue. The stories make you sad, they make you angry, but the fi lm also makes you hopeful. In fact, the Pasadena Police Department might do well to consider using this fi lm as a training tool to aid in overcoming the excessive use of violence on people of color. One thought expressed in the fi lm was that when we look at a “gang” problem, we tend to dehumanize those involved, as if they are no longer people. We need to look at them as people fi rst and to make sure that they have opportunities to aspire well beyond a gang lifestyle. “Our youngsters are crying for help. I feel that they want the help but don’t know how to ask,” says Jonni Sykes-Flemings, a community member in the medical field who was in attendance at the PCC screening, “I think people just don’t know how to help. So if we come together as a group, I feel that things can change.” Most importantly, this fi lm does offer solutions. Frankly, it boils down to opportunity and caring. These kids need people to listen and talk to them; they need positive things to do; they need accessible resources that will prepare them for a successful and productive life; and they need positive role models. We cannot continue along the same path and expect different results. True to his words: “I didn’t get into fi lmmaking to get the accolades for being a fi lmmaker. I really made this fi lm to make a difference,” Sneed says, closing the fi lm by providing a list of resources for anyone wishing to become a mentor, and a fi nal assertion that “We can make a difference.” Hopefully, this fi lm will screen many more times in Pasadena and I urge everyone to make an effort to see it. Hopefully, it will make viewers want to get involved and really make a difference in young people’s lives.■ 10 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.13.19

or the past month or so I have been on a Mediterranean kick, ordering it for lunch or on the weekends at least once a week. There is a Mediterranean place near my work that has great food, although overpriced and not the most authentic, and a small restaurant near my home that is just not conveniently close enough. Since I have been relentless about having it any chance I can, I decided to visit one of the best in the city. Cafe Santorini is one of the best known and most loved restaurants in Pasadena, having won Best Mediterranean Food in last year’s Best of Pasadena edition. As many regulars or those who’ve had the pleasure to go at least once know, that came as no surprise. The food is great, the staff is beyond friendly, and the outdoor patio is so charming not many places in close vicinity can top it. To get into the restaurant there is a small door leading up to a narrow staircase, which opens up to the main dining area. There is a bar just to the left of entering, a hostess at the end of the room, and quiet, intimate dinners happening all around. Luckily there was no wait, so our hostess took us straight to the balcony area which we were pleased about because it was a beautiful evening, and it seemed to be a little louder outdoors. My friend and I decided at the last minute that we’d stop by that evening, so we rushed over in our casual clothing — not realizing several groups were there

in celebration of something or on a date, and thus were slightly more dressed up. Despite that, we didn’t feel uncomfortable or as if we had walked into the Chateau Marmont in workout attire. As soon as we were seated we were brought water and a few minutes later a bread basket. Our waitress was friendly, helping us decide on our starters: Borek and spanakopita ($13) and stuffed grape leaves ($10). The borek and spanakopita was easily our favorite of the two and one of our favorite dishes that night. Both are fi lled pastries, the borek stuffed with a blend of cheeses, mint and sesame seeds, and the spanakopita fi lled with onions, spinach and feta. To be honest, I couldn’t even focus on which was which, they were both equally amazing and well worth ordering as shareable appetizers. For our entrees, my friend ordered the Santorini pizza ($16) and I wanted to have something tried and true, a staple dish: the grilled chicken kebab plate ($20). The Santorini pizza was amazing, with beef soujouk sausage, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella cheese, goat cheese and fresh mint. While I’m not the biggest fan of mint, even I have to admit it really added something to the cheeses and pulled the different flavors together beautifully. My chicken kebob plate was just as I was hoping — perfectly seasoned chicken, delicious rice (my favorite part), and grilled onions, tomatoes and bell peppers grilled to perfection as well. The dish also came with hummus and pita (my second favorite part) and there was enough left over to take home for lunch the next day, which, by the way, was not my plan at all.
Cafe Santorini has a happy hour, and since we missed it that day, we already have plans to go back and take advantage of it. It goes from 4-7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 4-6 p.m. on Fridays, serving draft beer, well brands, sangria, wines, as well as specialty cocktails and martinis all between $6 and $7. The happy hour food menu (all $6 each) consists of shrimp curry, hummus and pita, grilled calamari, saffron clams, and soujouk sausage mini flatbread, which is essentially the Santorini pizza in a small flatbread version minus the mozzarella. Happy hour is only served at the bar, but well worth it. Other notable dishes that I saw whisk by or looked inviting on the menu were the Moroccan lamb shank ($32), braised with dried fruit, balsamic vinegar and served with couscous; the risotto with wild mushrooms ($21), which is gluten-free and vegetarian; and the shrimp capellini al checca ($23), served with angel hair pasta tossed with diced tomatoes, garlic, scallions, chili flakes and basil and served with jumbo shrimp. Several dishes on the menu are marked if they are vegetarian, gluten-free, or vegan, so it’s easy for patrons to know what they can order in spite of dietary restrictions. No matter what, Cafe Santorini doesn’t skip out on the flavor. They even have two banquet rooms for special occasions or larger events. The Rococo room is the larger of the two, seating up to 150 guests, and the Mezzanine, which seats up to 25 people. Cafe Santorini celebrated their 25th anniversary this past year, and it’s clear that in the time they have been in Pasadena they have become a perfect setting for any occasion.

COLD FEET PROSPECTIVE GROOM MUST FIGURE OUT WHAT’S CAUSING HIS PRE-WEDDING JITTERS
Dear Patti, My name is Brian. I’m 35, never been married, have a solid career, and own my own home. On June 21, the first day of summer, I’m getting married. Until I met Samantha (I call her Sam), I wasn’t sure if I would ever get married. But Sam is truly an amazing woman, one that I respect and admire and love being with. I know she’ll be a fabulous mother and for the first time in my life, I’m looking forward to having a family. However, as we get closer to the wedding, I’m starting to have serious doubts. I get these sudden bursts of panic and feel like running far away. While I love Sam and can’t imagine my life without her, I get concerned that I might not feel this way forever. People change, and the idea of making a commitment to one person for an entire lifetime feels overwhelming. My parents got divorced when I was just a little kid and my whole life I swore I’d never end up like them. I love the life Sam and I have created together, and I miss her terribly when we’re apart. But can I really guarantee that I’ll feel that way forever? I’ve thought about postponing the wedding but it’s already coming up so fast. All our families and friends are flying in; we’ve spent a bunch of money on the venue and flowers. If I cancel now it would hurt Sam terribly. I’m worried that she would feel so betrayed that she’d never want to speak to me again. Is this kind of panic just normal cold feet before getting married or am I on to something, that maybe I’m afraid because this is the wrong path for me? — Brian Dear Brian, I certainly can’t tell you what choice to make concerning one of the most important decisions of your life, but I do have some thoughts I’d like you to consider. You’re clearly expressing fear and doubt but you’re not offering any specifics (e.g., mistrust, dissatisfaction, irreconcilable differences) as to why these feelings exist. Instead, your anxiety is focusing on (1) the idea of a lifetime commitment of love, (2) panic attacks, and (3) your parents’ divorce. Let’s look at each of these individually. Lifetime commitment: Have you ever worried you’d suddenly stop loving your favorite grandparent or that you’d stop loving your own child after a few years? Feelings of true love and deep attachment can shift and change with the passage of time, but they very rarely stop altogether. In my opinion, what causes love to die in a relationship is trauma, neglect, or abuse. You’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of loving someone for a lifetime, but what about the concept of being loved for a lifetime? You need to decide whether your trepidations are truly because you’re choosing the wrong person or the wrong lifestyle (marriage), or if your feelings are based on prior hurt, fear and trauma. If it’s the latter, those feelings must be dealt with or else you’re likely to continue repeating them in future relationships. Panic attacks: A panic attack is an anxiety disorder that is dealt with by experiencing one’s underlying feelings. If you allow yourself to face and experience your buildup of emotions, you will be able to make better life decisions. I highly recommend you attend psychotherapy in order to better understand your fears and negative feelings, possibly multiple times before the wedding. Explore the possibility that you are, in fact, just temporarily panicking. Many high functioning individuals who live successful lives attend therapy in order to better understand themselves increase their ability to love themselves, have meaningful relationships with others and embrace an even more satisfying life. Parents’ Divorce: Do you think you’d have such strong doubts about marrying Sam if your parents hadn’t split up when you were young? If the answer is no, then you have more work to do in therapy. I don’t believe in dredging up the past unless the trauma of that history is affecting the quality of life today. When you’re in a state of anxiety, your thoughts are fearful. While that’s understandable and needs to be addressed, also think about the positive. You’ll have the chance to love another, a chance to do what your parents were unable to do. But if you don’t try, you will have broken up like your parents did, just at an earlier stage. n Patti Carmalt-Vener, a faculty member with the Southern California Society for Intensive Short Term Psychotherapy, has been a psychotherapist in private practice for 23 years and has an office in Pasadena.

LEMONADE FROM LEMONS PASADENA FILMMAKER MARCOS DURIAN TURNS A TOUGH CHILDHOOD INTO GREAT ART WITH HIS NEW SHORT ‘FISH HEAD’ BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

rowing up Filipino-American as the son of a single mother who never knew his father, Marcos Durian was a victim of constant bullying all the way to seventh grade. He fi nally fought back against his oppressor classmates, but he still had to contend with the frustration of wondering who his father was and if he would ever meet him. The Pasadena-based Durian has taken those two highly emotional sets of memories and woven them together to create the short fi lm “Fish Head,” a “visual poem” that makes its Los Angeles debut this weekend at the Dances With Films festival in Los Angeles. As the veteran cinematographer looks forward to unveiling his fi rst project of his own, he recalled the long journey of taking his life creative vision to the screen. “I originally wrote a feature length version of the script, back in 2006, sent it out and got a little bit of traction,” says Durian, who has built his career working on a slew of commercials and music videos. “I got some meetings and unfortunately some of the people I talked to loved it but wanted me to change the main character’s ethnicity to Caucasian or African-American. “I gave it a try, got about 15, 16 pages in and I just knew it just wasn’t working,” he continues. “All the nuances that go along with the cultural aspects of being Filipino and the language that was happening with the bullying. I shelved it, but in the last few years diversity has made a big step forward so I was inspired to go back to the script and I thought try making it as a short fi lm. I took the fi rst and second part of the feature and turned it into the short.” The 16-minute fi lm tells the touching story of a young Filipino-American boy trying desperately to fit in with his classmates while constantly wondering about his father. As he struggles to get through each day, he fi nally has had enough and takes a dramatic stand. The style of the fi lm — which was shot in Torrance, Covina and Montrose — is elliptical, replacing a traditional narrative with a series of flashbacks and flash forwards, as well as dreamlike moments designed to show how the CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

LEMONADE FROM LEMONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 young boy sees the world in his own unique way. Throughout, the look of the fi lm has a magical realist effect and the young lead’s performance is impressively layered. “I wanted to do something that was purely visual, held some subtext to it but also in a way ambiguous and not hitting too much over the head with the audience,” says Durian, who moved with his wife to Pasadena from Los Feliz in 2015. “The fact that it’s not quite clear to the audience could be a talking point afterwards. As far as the visual poem of it, there were elements I wanted to make ambiguous. “There are fleeting moments that you might recognize from your life or mine as kids, like Milo looking up to the sky in a field and sees a plane and sees escape and starts to float off the grass,” says Durian. “Or in a dream where he’s reaching out to a man’s hand but can’t touch it, and mom turns toward the camera and is crying. It’s a visual where the thought process behind that was Milo is seeing something he maybe shouldn’t be, that perhaps mom doesn’t want him to see her in that state. Pieces like that where I wanted to go for something a little ambiguous, has subtext but also doesn’t hammer anything over the head too much in telling the audience one thing or another.” The goal now is to keep entering the fi lm in prestige festivals, with Dances With Films growing in prominence this year as the Los Angeles Film Festival died off. He has already submitted to the prominent Sundance Film Festival competitor Slamdance, and is preparing to submit it to Sundance itself in

the coming weeks. But Durian has already been named one of this year’s recipients of the Emerging Cinematographer’s Award, to be presented by the International Cinematographer’s Guild on Oct. 6 at the Television Academy (the organization behind the Emmys) in Burbank. It’s an impressive feat for a man who overcame such a tough childhood, and he’s proud of every step of his journey. “My parents met at the US Consulate in Toronto, when my mom dropped her gloves, he picked them up and they struck up a conversation with each other,” says Durian. “That kind of fi rst meeting was abnormal in the 1960s, when people trusted each other to talk more. They began to date for a few years, then mom became pregnant and from there details of my father’s history came to light that imploded the relationship. “I thought I might have seen him once, when a gentleman was standing at the front door of our house,” he concludes. “Just like it happens in the fi lm, time seemed to stand still. I was completely taken over by this person’s presence, but a friend snapped me out of looking at him and it didn’t hit me until several hours later that he could have been my dad. I’ll never know, but I tried to make something meaningful out of it.” ■ “Fish Head” screens as part of a program of film shorts at the Dances With Films festival at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the TCL Chinese Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles.

•INTO THE NIGHT• BY BLISS BOWEN
TRAX
BY BLISS
KEB’ MO’, Oklahoma (Concord): ★★★
The Grammy-winning bluesman’s latest album balances feel-good love songs with meatier tales. The first half’s the most compelling. “Put a Woman in Charge,” a feminist pop-rocker with Rosanne Cash, was heard during midterm election campaigns, while the deceptively cheery “Don’t Throw It Away” references plastic pollution (“The face of this planet … could use just a little plastic surgery”). The warmly uplifting “This is My Home” speaks to the political moment in an acoustic arrangement underscoring the humanity of its immigrant characters; unlike sappy closer “Beautiful Music,” its sweetness feels earned. kebmo.com
SIMBA BAUMGARTNER, Les Yeux Noirs (Arte Boreal): ★★★★
‘Hawks With Good Intentions’
The rare exhilaration in this 21-year-old French guitarist’s playing evokes his great-grandfather, gypsy jazz pioneer Django Reinhardt — lineage that happily transcends novelty. Choice material from Reinhardt’s oeuvre includes a seven-and-a-halfminute romp through “Dark Eyes,” an intoxicating “Nuages,” and a “Blues Mineur” punctuated with zesty clarinet and drum solos. Vibrantly produced by countryman Stephane Wrembel, whose longtime combo offers crisp support, even well-worn chestnuts from Reinhardt’s repertoire like “All of Me” and “September Song” sound refreshed by Baumgartner’s joie de vivre. Recommended if gypsy jazz is your thing and you love to swing. Facebook. com/simba.baumgartner
I SEE HAWKS IN LA CELEBRATES NEW COLLABORATIVE ALBUM WITH UK DUO THE GOOD INTENTIONS AT HIGHLAND PARK BOWL
GARY NICHOLSON, The Great Divide (Blue Corn): ★★★★
A
mong the press releases tumbling like steady avalanches into my inbox, rare is the announcement that includes my name beyond the salutation. Credit I See Hawks in LA guitarist Paul Lacques with knowing how to get someone’s attention. Next Thursday the Hawks celebrate the completion of an album long in the making, “Hawks With Good Intentions,” a collaboration with Peter Davies and Gabrielle Monk, aka UK duo the Good Intentions. As Lacques reminded me in his press missive, he and Hawks drummer Victoria Jacobs befriended Davies and Monk at a musical gathering at my home in 2012, when the Good Intentions were touring California with their English/Welsh brand of Americana. A mutual admiration society took root as the Hawks and the Intentions supported each other at shows on both sides of the Atlantic. During one stateside visit, Davies, Lacques and Hawks frontman Rob Waller met at Waller’s garage studio in Highland Park to write their first songs together — what would eventually become “Rolling
the Boxcars” and “White Cross.” For the next few years they exchanged lyrics and MP3s via email, a long-distance process belied by the relaxed warmth of the songwriting and instrumental sound. “White Cross” emerged last year on the Hawks’ “Live and Never Learn,” with a slyly loping country-blues guitar arrangement by Tony Gilkyson. The version with the Intentions follows the same melodic lines but substitutes sparkle for groove grease as it tells its tale of a Memphis musician with a taste for long odds. Throughout “Hawks With Good Intentions,” guitars, Dobro and lap steel waltz and rumble with Richie Lawrence’s accordion and Gabe Witcher’s fiddle, as Waller and Davies swap lead vocals and Monk and Hawks bassist Paul Marshall chime in with heartlifting harmonies. Trains, guitars, the high desert, spectral characters, and the lack of wildness in the West are recurring motifs throughout the 10 songs, which collectively represent a stylistic stretch for everyone involved, as they needed to mesh cultural, compositional and vocal differences. “Flying Now,”
a ballad Davies sings and wrote with Lacques, manages to evoke both Gram Parsons and Richard Thompson while stumbling in the shoes of a homeless man “cashing in bottles along a Frogtown stream.” The train beat may echo familiarly, but incisively detailed characters of the Davies-LacquesWaller murder ballad “Things Like This” travel deeper into the desert than the Hawks have gone before. “Epiphany on Town Hall Square” is a poignant Christmas song with an alternative perspective, yet it’s not hard to imagine it sung in an English chapel. Davies and Monk plan to return to LA in the fall, and the Hawks are gearing up for a UK tour in July. Ben Vaughn and Old Californio frontman Rich Dembowski will join the Hawks next Thursday at Highland Park Bowl, where the Hawks have lengthy history, to celebrate the bonds of song and friendship. ■ “Hawks With Good Intentions” release party at Highland Park Bowl, 5621 N. Figueroa, Highland Park, at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 20; free admission. Info: (323) 257-2695. Iseehawks.com, thegoodintentions.co.uk, highlandparkbowl.com
You needn’t share his politics to appreciate the veteran songwriter’s mastery of groove, melody and wit, or the diamond-like clarity of his sketches of human nature at its messiest. Small wonder Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton, Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt record his songs. Here Nicholson mines the blues-country-soul nexus with ace players like guitarist John Jorgenson, while poking the national psyche’s tenderest scars with the swampy, racismthemed “Blues in Black and White,” “God Help America” (a moving duet with Ruthie Foster), the heartrending soldier’s ode “Nineteen,” wisecracking “Trickle Down,” and hopeful anthem “We Are One.” A keeper. garynicholson.com
GREG FELDEN, Made of Strings (self-released): ★★★½
Questions are asked throughout this LA songwriter’s first full-length album, but they’re often rhetorical, like he’s tallying accounts. Felden’s an intelligent songwriter with a buoying sense of melody influenced by ’70s singersongwriter pop; he’s also self-aware, wiser for being wounded. His emotional honesty’s piercing whether recalling a relationship’s demise during the stormy “Tell Me What’s Broken” (“There’s something not open/ In the words that you’ve spoken”), negotiating persistent “Ghosts,” or waxing philosophical on the hooky “When the Change Comes” (“Tell me where will all the ragged people go/ To the high ground, to the low?”).

Cool Creations ICE CREAM MAKER TILLAMOOK OFFERS CASH PRIZES AT 27TH ANNUAL PASADENA CHALK FESTIVAL BY CARL KOZLOWSKI After growing into the largest chalk-art festival in the world over its 27-year history, the Pasadena Chalk Festival has a fun new twist this weekend to keep this year’s edition fresh. The Light Bringer Project, a longtime Pasadena nonprofit which runs the festival, is teaming with new sponsor Tillamook County Creamery Association to offer cash prizes to the winners for the first time. The association, which has long been acclaimed for its delicious array of cheeses, is expanding into launching a line of ice cream flavors and is using the festival as one of its promotional launching pads for the new endeavor. They’ll have free samples available throughout the weekend, but the bigger allure for the hundreds of artists coming to make the city’s sidewalks sparkle is the $5,000 in cash they’ll be divvying up among award-winners across various categories at the end of the two-day event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday as a perfect destination for Father’s Day weekend. “Tillamook is bringing their Yum Bus, a retro looking van with a ’60s love vibe, from which they’re going to serve a flight of ice cream for free, which is kind of a fancy word for ice cream cone,” says Patty Hurley, cofounder of the Light Bringer Project. “Artists are very excited about it, because anything cold like that is a 20 PASADENA WEEKLY | 06.13.19
welcome treat in the heat, but they’re even more excited about cash. “We usually have really nice prizes for the artists including Jet Blue airline tickets, hotel stays or dinners at Ruth’s Chris Steak House,” she adds. “This year for the top winner, the artist award and the people’s choice award, are going to get cash prizes for the first time in 27 years, which will make the awards really fun. They wanted to contribute to the artists directly which is a really cool thing, and many last-minute artists have jumped in.” The festival has grown to include an average of 600 artist teams in recent years, with crowds of up to 50,000 attending to admire an incredibly vibrant array of art made with more than 25,000 pieces of colored chalk. The extravagant results fill the plazas of the Paseo outdoor mall and the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, while the 18th Annual Pasadena Police Classic Car Show returns with an array of classic cars along Green Street between Los Robles and Marengo avenues from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. The fest’s Kids Make Art section, near El Cholo restaurant at the Paseo, is expanding this year to include more art-making opportunities, with the chance to have families sharing in painting, drawing or coloring and special tote bags available for kids to paint in their own imaginative designs.
In addition, this year’s fest will feature drones taking aerial photos of artworks for the first time ever, while many artists are starting to create stop-motion photography of their creative process that will be uploaded to the festival’s YouTube channel as well. Add in an eclectic assortment of live music on two stages throughout both days of the festival and the fact that all proceeds benefi t the Light Bringer Project’s numerous arts programs throughout Los Angeles County public schools, and it’s no wonder that this has become a permanent highlight on the Pasadena cultural calendar. “I’m sure this event is a real love fest for Pasadena, because every year people say ‘This is why I moved to Pasadena,’ or ‘I look forward to this every year,’ and people are always discovering by chance or friends bringing friends here for first time each year,” says Hurley. “What’s nice is the murals stay up for a couple days after so people can also come look in the quiet.” ■ The Pasadena Chalk Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Paseo, 300 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena. The 18th Annual Pasadena Police Classic Car Show runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday along Green Street between Los Robles and Marengo avenues. Admission is free.

Forgive, But Never Forget
‘EMANUEL’ RECALLS THE MASS SHOOTING DEATHS AT A SOUTH CAROLINA CHURCH AND THE CONGREGANTS WHO FORGAVE THE KILLER
F
ilmmaker Brian Ivie is one of many Americans who will never forget June 19, 2015. He was with his wife in Hawaii on their honeymoon, reading his Bible while enjoying a glorious view of the Pacific Ocean. Everything seemed right with the world, until he suddenly heard his wife sobbing from inside their hotel room and rushed to see what was troubling her. She was watching news coverage of a public statement being made by surviving family members of the racist mass shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, which had shocked the nation two days before. Rather than angrily calling for protests and retribution over the massacre perpetrated by white supremacist Dylann Roof, who had entered the church and shot nine African-American congregation members during a Bible study, the family members were announcing their forgiveness of him. That remarkable call for peace as a potentially dangerous backlash was brewing among the frustrated local African-American community and is widely believed to have averted further violence — and it inspired Ivie to make a documentary about their decision. The resulting film, “Emanuel,” will screen at 7 p.m. Monday, the anniversary of the shooting, and Wednesday, the anniversary of the forgiveness statement, at Laemmle Playhouse 7, Regal Alhambra Renaissance 14 and the AMC Santa Anita 16 theaters as part of a nationwide series of screenings sponsored by Fathom Events. The film is powerful in its interviews with the survivors and how they chose to make a stand for peace and still insist on justice, as the then-21-year-old Roof was ultimately sentenced to nine consecutive life terms in prison for his horrific actions. Ivie recently spoke with the Pasadena Weekly about his decision to make “Emanuel” and the impact it had on him as well. It is an important film, as evidenced by the fact that this 28-year-old filmmaker attracted the support of heavyweight celebrities such as NBA star Stephen Curry, Oscar-winner Viola Davis and Emmy-winner Mariska Hargitay of “Law and Order: SVU.” Pasadena Weekly: How did you come to be a part of this film? Ivie: When I joined my wife watching the coverage of the families’ statement, their worst moment collided with our best. It was shocking to know a white shooter killed nine black worshipers, but she was more shocked

that their family members were forgiving them, and that’s the start on this for me. I had to know how they managed to do that. What do you want audiences to take away from this film? A lot of messages that have been close to my heart. We want people to do the hard, uncomfortable work to have healing done between races in our country. I hope people will see God is real and is with us in our suffering, and He’ll provide the inspiration to get through almost anything. What were your thoughts on some of the family members’ ability to forgive so quickly? Forgiveness is perhaps the most counterintuitive virtue there is, and sometimes makes no sense at all. I don’t know if I could do it, especially not just 48 hours after the loss of my wife. But I tried to give everyone a chance to tell the world what they actually felt and believed. It’s not just a religious topic, and the film allows each person to say openly and honestly where they are in their process of healing. We show who forgives, who doesn’t and in between. Life’s not all tied up in a bow. Even when you forgive, you certainly don’t forget but you move on. How did you get Curry, Davis and Harigitay involved? The fact that Stephen Curry is helping with this and getting the word out, that’s why I believe in God. He’s even doing it in the middle of the NBA finals. Nobody knew until last year that he was starting a production company in Hollywood, and he’s not about profit but about purpose. Viola is from South Carolina, a woman of color and Christian. Viola was a friend before this. Mariska is an activist and Christian, and she likes to find projects that will help people get through trauma as she did earlier in her life. In the end, how tough was the experience of making this? The subject was rough — a lot of people felt we shouldn’t make a film at all and even I didn’t. I stayed away for a year so I couldn’t make this a career opportunity. I’ve never made a film like this one, where every penny made will be donated to the families. What was challenging was that the film honors every family’s experience, and it does. They’ve all blessed it. n 06.13.19 | PASADENA WEEKLY 23

This ordinance, due to its length and corresponding cost of publication, will be published by title and summary as permitted in Section 508 of the Pasadena City Charter. The approved summary of this ordinance is as follows: “Summary As of January 1, 2019, alI cities in California are required to comply with the State law which created new requirements supporting the sale of food items and other merchandise by sidewalk
vendors, and prohibiting cities from regulating sidewalk vendors, except in accordance with the provisions of the bill. This Ordinance is intended to bring the City’s Municipal Code into compliance with the new law. The Ordinance provides revisions to Titles 6, 8, 10, and 12 of the Pasadena Municipal Code and expands economic opportunity for those aspiring to vend lawfully while placing limited regulations on vending to protect public health and safety in the community’s most densely crowded locations and preserve the recreational enjoyment of the City’s parks. The Ordinance is also designed to codify and preserve access associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act and to increase vendor accountability and reduce conflict among vendors and it authorizes the City Manager to promulgate implementing regulations. Ordinance No. 7348 shall take effect 30 days after publication.” SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published by title and summary. SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after publication.

Ordinance No. 7347, due to its length and corresponding cost of publication, will be published by title and summary as permitted by Section 508 of the Pasadena City Charter. The approved summary of this Ordinance is as follows: *Summary “Ordinance No. 7347 will amend Title 9 of the Pasadena Municipal Code in the following ways: Chapter 9.75 (Tenant Protection) will be amended to expand the applicability of the tenant protection ordinance to apply to situations in which eligible tenants are displaced, in the 18 months following a change in ownership of the rental property, due to a large rent increase, a termination notice, or an eviction. Additionally, the relocation allowance would be increased to account for market rent increases and for tenants with long term tenancies of more than 10 years. Ordinance No. 7347 shall take effect upon publication.” SECTION 2. Chapter 9.75, Section 9.75.060, Relocation allowance and moving expense allowance for tenants in good standing ó is amended to read as follows: “9.75.060 - Relocation aIlowance and moving expense allowance for tenants in good standing.
A. For all tenants in good standing living in households at or below 140% of the median income, by household size, landlord shall pay a relocation allowance equal to two and one half (2 1/2) months fair market rents as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) for a rental unit of a similar size. In addition to the relocation allowance, Landlord shall also pay a moving expense allowance in the amount of $1,306.00 for adult households or $3,935.00 for households with dependents, disabled, or senior members. The amounts listed are adjusted for FY 2019 and will continue to be adjusted as provided in paragraph G below. B. For all tenants in good standing, who meet the income eligibility requirements of paragraph A above, and who have maintained continuous tenancy for a period of 10 years or more shall be entitled to enhanced relocation allowance and moving expenses. The total amount of relocation allowance to be paid by the landlord to the tenant is based on the length of the tenancy. For each year after the 10th anniversary, the amount of the base relocation allowance shall be increased by 10%, and shall increase each year thereafter until reaching the maximum of 200% of the base relocation allowance on the 20th anniversary of the tenancy. C. The relocation allowance and moving expense allowance provided for in this section shall be automatically increased every year in accordance with changes in the HUD fair market rents. The moving expense allowance provided in this section shall be adjusted annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (for Los Angeles-Long Beach) pursuant to Section 1.08.060. D. The relocation allowance provided for in this section shall be triggered if any of the following circumstances occur: 1. Demolition. A landlord or property owner seeks to recover possession of the unit for purpose of demolition. 2. Permanent Removal of Unit from the Rental Market. The landlord seeks to remove the rental unit permanently from the rental housing market. 3. Occupancy by Landlord or Landlord’s Family Member. The landlord seeks to vacate the rental unit for the sole purpose of making the unit available for occupancy by the landlord or a family member of the landlord. In this circumstance, the amount of relocation and moving expense allowance which landlord is obligated to pay to the tenant shall be equal to one-half of the relocation allowance and moving expense allowance provided for in this chapter. 4. Government Order to Vacate. The landlord seeks to recover possession of the rental unit in order to comply with a governmental agency’s order to vacate, order to comply, order to abate, or any other order that necessitates vacating the rental unit as a result of a significant or extended violation of housing, health, building or safety laws of the state of California or the City of Pasadena which would result in a constructive eviction. 5. Change in Ownership. There is a change in ownership of the rental unit and, at any time within 18 months of the change in ownership, the landlord notifies the tenant that at some specific date after the change in ownership, the tenant’s tenancy is being terminated, the tenant is being evicted, and/or there is going to be a large rent increase. For purposes of this chapter, a “large rent increase” means any rent increase exceeding the Cost of Living Increase (“CPI”) plus five percent (5%) within the 12 month period prior to the notice of the rent increase. 6. Non-exclusive Remedy. Nothing in this chapter limits the rights of the city or tenant to recover from the landlord any relocation allowance or moving expense allowance or placement assistance or any other assistance provided to assist eligible renters and/or other city costs incurred for the correction/abatement of distressed properties which the city is legally entitled to recover. E. Landlord’s non-renewal and/or termination of tenancy under any of the circumstances described in subsection (C) above, shall not exempt landlord from the obligation to pay relocation allowance and moving expense allowance
as provided for in this chapter to any displaced tenant in good standing. F. Upon request of landlord, city, or city consultant, tenant shall provide the following documentation to determine eligibility for relocation allowance and moving expense allowance: 1. A signed certification of household members and household income on a form acceptable to the city; 2. Documentation of income {e.g., paystubs, public benefits statements, employer verification); 3. Any other documentation as may be reasonably requested by landlord, city, or city consultant. G. The relocation allowance and moving expense allowance provided for in this chapter shall be available to those students, faculty members, and/or staff members, of any educational institution, living in housing provided by that same educational institution, if such student, faculty member, and/or staff member is able to demonstrate, with evidence acceptable to the city, that their tenancy was terminated by the landlord on a date that is more than 365 days after the date on which the student, faculty member, and/or staff member discontinued enrollment in the institution as a student or discontinued employment as a faculty member and/or staff member at the educational institution. For cases in which the educational institution enters into separate leases with individuals sharing a rental unit as roommates, the following relocation allowance and moving expense allowance shall apply per person: (i) Relocation allowance—Twice the HUD fair market rent for a studio unit; and (ii) Moving expenses— $1,200.00. SECTION 3. If any part of this ordinance is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance, and this City Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted. SECTION 4. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after publication. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published by title and summary. Signed and approved this 10th day of June, 2019.

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.
