While voter turnout was abysmally low for November’s City Council race, spending by candidates and outside groups rose dramatically this year. More than $17.14 was spent per vote in the council race last year, according to calculations run by the Daily Press using campaign disclosure statements and vote totals. Candidates, through loans to themselves and contributions from supporters, spent more than $640,000 while outside groups — like the city’s largest political party, Santa Monicans for Renters’ Rights (SMRR) and a hotel-backed political committee — spent at least $378,000 for a total of more than a million dollars spent on a race for which fewer than 60,000 votes were cast. Sue Himmelrich, who won the GOAL-ORIENTED Morgan Genser [email protected] The Samohi girls soccer team topped Santa Paula 3-2 in the CIFSS Division 4 first round Feb. 19. Shown are Chloe Kleinman (middle), Ariana Lomeli (top) and Sam Southerland hugging Kleinman after the victory. open council seat, far outspent her competitors and any individual political action committee, dropping $173,762.98 on her campaign, of which $160,000 was her own money. That $160,000 loan itself was more than the bottom nine campaign fundraisers spent combined. Responsible Leadership for a Better Tomorrow, a political action committee headed by Councilmember Terry O’Day and largely backed by hotel owners and prospective hotel builders, spent $95,307 on the council race - more than any other outside spenders. The hotel-backed committee supported Pam O’Connor, who was reelected, and Frank Gruber, who was not elected. These committee are allowed to support candidates through mailers, robo-calls, and advertising but they are not allowed to coordinate with the candidates they are supporting. SMRR spent more than Responsible Leadership during the election but, because it was backing candidates in other races — like the Board of Education and College Board of Trustees — it spent only $22,944 in support of Himmelrich, Kevin McKeown, who was reelected as the top vote- getter, and Jennifer Kennedy, who was not elected. No group or candidate spent anything close to what Santa Monicans for Open and Honest Development Decisions, spent on one measure last year. To initiate and support Measure D, which ultimately failed, the group spent more than $870,000. Candidates and committees spent more this year than they have in any of the elections dating back to 2008, when information was readily available. In 2012, they spent at least $704,000 combined. In 2010, it was $526,000, and in 2008 it was more than $455,000. In fact, each year, both candidates and committees spent progressively more. Despite the fact that former Mayor Bobby Shriver spent $119,000 on his campaign, the second-most among any council candidate over that four-election period, candidates spent less than $340,000 that year - a little more than half of what was spent by candidates this year. That number barely jumped in 2010, to more than $341,000. In 2012, it rose to $390,000 before skyrocketing to the more than $640,000 of last year’s election. Outside spending more than tripled since 2008, when $116,000 was spent on council campaigns. It rose to $185,000 in 2010 and $314,000 in 2012. All told, more than $2.3 million has been spent on council elections since 2008. Murder suspect arrested after standoff BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer OCEAN PARK BLVD.

FIKRY by Gabrielle Zevin. 6 - 7 p.m. STATE BRIEFS Metro sets public forum about transit station to connect to LAX Metro is planning a new transit station that will connect the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to the regional rail system and wants public feedback on proposals being discussed at an upcoming scoping meeting set for Monday, Feb. 23. The Airport Metro Connector (AMC) Transit Station planned near Aviation Boulevard and 96th Street will provide the connection between the regional rail system to a future Automated People Mover (APM) to be planned, built and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). Metro’s AMC transit station is envisioned to include a light rail station served by the Metro Green and Crenshaw/LAX lines, a bus plaza for Metro and municipal buses, pedestrian and bicycle amenities and an enclosed transit center/terminal building that connects Metro’s transit station with LAWA’s APM station. The AMC transit station will serve as a new transit “Gateway” to LAX for transit riders. Metro is seeking public input on the scope of the project and environmental impacts to be evaluated. The Airport Metro Connector Scoping Meeting will take place on Feb. 23 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Flight Path Learning Center, 6661 West Imperial Highway, Los Angeles. The location is served by Beach Cities Transit Line 109 with connections at the Metro Green Line Aviation/LAX station and LAX Transit Center. Free parking is available on site. The meeting will be broadcast live online for those unable to attend the meeting in person. The broadcast will be accessible by visiting metro.net/laxconnector or ustream.tv/channel/airport-metroconnector. In addition, the public can make their voice heard by submitting comments either at the scoping meeting or through one of the following options: Via US mail to Meghna Khanna, Deputy Project Manger, Metro, One Gateway Plaza, Mail Stop 99-22-5, Los Angeles, CA 90012, by phone at (213) 922- 4484, via e-mail at [email protected], via the web at metro.net/laxconnector, via Facebook at facebook.com/laxconnector, via Twitter @laxconnector - Be sure to use #LAXConnectorScoping. Comments at this stage of the planning process must be received by March 9. Passengers, visitors, airport employees and others will be able to transfer quickly and easily from the at-grade Metro transit station to the elevated APM. LAWA will lead the environmental review for the APM, while Metro will conduct the environmental review for the AMC transit station. This type of rail to a people mover connection can be found at other major airports around the country including San Francisco, Oakland, New York (JFK), Newark, Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Phoenix.

How is it different from the written version? Instead of using a paper and pencil to the take the exam, you now simply touch the correct answer on monitor screen. The TouchScreen system guides you through the testing process and gives you immediate feedback if you answer a question incorrectly. It is currently offered in both English and Spanish. Additional languages will be added. This technology reduces test times, improves field office wait times, minimizes fraud by randomizing test questions and answers, and provides easier maintenance of test questions, currently conducted manually. Make sure you review the California Driver Handbook. You can find it at www.dmv.ca.gov. Do not forget to make an appointment. Good luck! Do I need to visit a DMV office in order to renew my driver license? Most drivers are not required to visit a DMV office each time they need to renew their driver license. Most of the time, a driver license can be easily renewed online at www.dmv.ca.gov, by mail or by calling 1-800777-0133. However, the DMV generally mandates individuals, with a clean driver record, to visit a DMV office once every 15 years in order to provide an updated driver license photograph and a vision test. You should carefully check your DMV notice to find out if you must appear in-person. If you are required to visit a DMV office, you are encouraged to schedule an appointment. The DMV recently expanded the number of appointment opportunities available. Please be considerate of others. If you do not show up for your appointment, you prevent someone else from being able to use that time slot. Are you required to make an appointment at the four Driver License Processing Centers to apply for an AB 60 driver license? Appointments are not required, but strongly recommended, if you plan to visit one of the four Driver License Processing Centers located in Granada Hills, Stanton, San Jose, and Lompoc. These centers only process driver license transactions. They are open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Remember, that if you are applying for an original California driver license and plan to visit one of the other DMV field offices, and not a Driver License Processing Center, appointments are required. The DMV lists several passports as acceptable documents to be used when applying for a California driver license under the AB60 law. Why is the country of Colombia not on the list? The DMV continues to work with countries and their consulates not identified on the current registration list. This list is not final. The DMV has the authority to add documents as soon as they are reviewed and approved by the DMV. Please keep checking our website, ab60.dmv.ca.gov, for updates on additional documents that will be accepted. DMV also offers another option for people from countries whose documents are not accepted. Under that option, applicants can present one of several documents that are available in this country and be interviewed by a DMV employee who will attempt to verify the applicant’s identity. California is the first state in the nation to offer a secondary review process for applicants that lack typical identification documents to prove identity. For a complete list of accepted documents, go to AB60.dmv.ca.gov.

That means it’s time to finally cap the I10 freeway between Ocean Avenue and 4th Street, and create new public spaces on top, like we envisioned in the City’s 1997 Open Space Element. What if we also turn the landmarked Sears building into an amazing “world-class” cultural facility? Then, where the Sears parking is today, together with the freeway cap, we create incredible public plazas, walkways, green spaces and complementary low scale restaurant/retail — and mix in the longawaited City services building for a civic component as well? All of this would be across the street from the Expo light rail station at 4th Street and Colorado Avenue, meaning we can create a public-transit oriented destination public/cultural/green space, that enriches us socially and stimulates us economically, without the usual strains of development — and we knit together major parts of the city in the process. This possibility is before us now, if we seek to pursue it. With the Council taking up interim use of the City-owned property at 4th/Colorado south of the Expo station, it’s time to give staff visionary direction on its long-term use as well. That direction should include planning for more than just the cityowned property and adjacent parcels east of 4th Street, but also the entire corridor between Ocean and 4th, and Colorado and the Civic Center. For long-term circulation and parking near the Expo station, it makes most sense to plan both sides of 4th Street together, so we can ensure automobile ingress/egress with the least congestion — and to also promote greater pedestrian orientation in the area. For example, we want the curb cut to go away that currently enters the Sears parking lot from Colorado Ave., because of the future conflict it would create with the thousands of people walking down the Colorado Esplanade from the Expo station. That means parking for future development in/around Sears is best addressed on the east side of 4th Street, with exiting back onto 4th possibly best from the west. The broader eco/walking concept for this area is creating parking next to the freeway as a tool for people to exit, park and walk into downtown — instead of driving there to look for parking. That means that the long-term design of the space south of the Expo station needs to invite pedestrians to enter our city and walk ahead. In play as part of this is a 4th/5th offramp realignment approach — which has Caltrans’ interest — that would realign the existing 4th Street off-ramp lanes southward to connect to Olympic Boulevard at 4th. The space vacated where the existing 4th Streetbound lanes are could then be added to plan the area, giving us incredible design flexibility for a mostly underground parking structure with a great public space on top, with the potential for amazing views to the west — towards Sears, Tongva Park and the ocean. We would also plan the bus, shuttle and kiss-and-ride functionality to connect to Expo, likely located conveniently under the plaza as well. If the Council takes this direction now, it will positively affect critical planning choices made in the area, with implications for decades. How the Sears and Wyndham Hotel sites develop will be influenced strongly by this City direction. But its also critical to take advantage of a newfound receptivity within the highest levels of Caltrans in working with Santa Monica on innovative freeway adaptations, beginning with the 4th/5th offramp realignment, and leading to the full freeway cap between Ocean and 4th. With so many things on Santa Monica’s planning plate, and with so many moving pieces, how could this planing process move ahead? This opportunity requires unprecedented coordination between the city and other stakeholders, including Caltrans, Big Blue Bus and private property owners adjacent to the City-owned site, as well as Sears and the Felcor Corporation (which owns the Wyndham Hotel) — and could even involve Santa Monica Place (more on that tomorrow). Therefore we need to launch a comprehensive planning process that involves internal and external planning studies and extensive community outreach. But we also need a efficient process so we can bring these opportunities to reality in the near future, and not in 20 years. At Tuesday’s meeting, Council should give staff specific direction to move forward with the proposed interim plan, but also focus on the long-term plan, which may include issuing an RFQ (Request for Qualifications), so we can pick a partner who can work in conjunction with the city and other stakeholders to start the planning and outreach processes. And what would we call this planning process? I say call it “Planning the Arcadia Corridor,” after Arcadia Bandini Stearns, Santa Monica co-founder, whose namesake hotel was at the foot of the beach just west of this area. The magical Arcadia Hotel was a great draw to Santa Monica in the late 19th century. A new visionary Arcadia Corridor could create the magic of tomorrow.

We all remember the “no net new car trips” that city traffic planners said would result once the now dead Bergamot Transit Village with hundreds of thousands of square feet of office space and nearly 500 apartments was built and occupied. The latest traffic study from Planning Director David Martin (“City: Afternoon rush hour has improved,” SMDP, Feb. 17, Pg. 1) claims “peak hour afternoon traffic dropped about 18.6 percent between 2007 and 2013” and “fell by 1.89 percent between 2011 and 2013.” The devil is in the details and Martin’s latest tome is full of little demons. Take this line: “Traffic on all 10 major corridors studied by City Hall fell during afternoon rush hour between 2007 and 2013 but rose on some streets, like Lincoln, Wilshire, Santa Monica, Olympic, and Pico boulevards between 2011 and 2013.” In other words afternoon traffic actually increased on major thoroughfares. “A slight increase in vehicle counts during the 2011 evaluation period can be attributed to the improving economy and other external factors,” city officials said. “The total 2013 counts show, by and large, relatively stable numbers from 2011 levels.” Remember, that Santa Monica was suffering a serious economic downturn during the study’s earlier period. Another big problem: data is at least two years old, so it’s valid only from an historical point of view. The proof is in the driving and that has become more difficult despite figures trumpeted by Mr. Martin. But, if his data is accurate, it proves that city traffic engineers have failed miserably in managing traffic and reducing congestion. It would also appear that City Hall’s $20 million 5-phase traffic signal synchronization project which is 90 percent complete is making things worse, too. What’s next?

HS 15T CRITICS NOT ALLOWED The Housing Commission met in the Main Library a week ago for a public review of its policies and plans regarding the state of low-income/affordable housing in the city. I don’t go to these meetings because they’re cheerleading sessions — in this case for as much low-income housing as the city can get. If you attend these — and other city board/commission meetings — and ask some tough questions or criticize the stance a particular board or commission embraces, you’ll get the stink eye, be shouted down or minimalized — in other words, treated like a gun-control advocate at a National Rifle Association convention. A reader of this column emailed me that she had attended the Housing Commission meeting, asked an unpopular question and was ignored. She also said the commission was using 2000 census figures. Seriously? # T. HS 14T price of cool, refreshing Santa Monica water is going up — that’s unless you say, “Not on my watch!” City Council will hold a public hearing tomorrow night on a water rate increase that could see municipal water bills jump by nine percent this year (starting March 1) and 13 percent for each for the next four years. It’s a fait accompli unless “50-percent plus one” Santa Monica property owners/water customers file written protest petitions with City Council. Protests must be in writing and include the property owner’s name, signature, and street address, parcel number or water account number and specifically state: “I am opposed to the proposed increase in water rates.” Petitions will be accepted at the City Clerk’s office until 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, then at council meeting itself until the close of the public comment portion of the water hearing. Emails and faxes are acceptable. Emails must include the completed, signed protest form attachment. You can scan the completed, signed form and attach it as a file to your email. Only one written protest counts per property. Look for Kate Bransfield’s full page ad in the newspaper. It features a petition form you can fill out and fax (310 394-2962) or email ([email protected]) as an attachment or personally deliver it to City Hall. You can mail your protest today to the City Clerk’s office, 1685 Main Street, Room 102, Santa Monica, CA 90401. Or, you can also drop off your completed form at Kate Bransfeld’s office, 1608 Montana Avenue before 5 p.m. Tuesday and she’ll deliver it to council chambers before the hearing. Condominium owners who pay property taxes can file a protest even if their building has one central water tank. Renters with a master water service are ineligible to file a protest. Only a property owner/metered water customer can officially oppose the water rate increase. If the protest fails and the rate increase is approved by council, the chances are, if you are a tenant in an apartment building with a master water service, you’ll experience a rent increase because landlords will push hard for approval to hang the additional water cost on us tenants or request including it in the annual general rent adjustment. Now, I know all you renters out there have already received a notice from Santa Monicans for Renters Rights (SMRR) about a possible rent increase if the protest fails, because it has renters’ backs. Right? Right!’ The silence from SMRR is deafening because they’re counting on tenants/ voters forgetting (when the next election rolls around) that it did nothing to thwart rent increases due to more costly water. So run, walk, bicycle, take the Big Blue Bus (but, don’t drive — it’s not good for the environment) to City Hall and file a protest! FINDING A NEW DENTIST IS TOUGH!!! E.

She encouraged them to stay in school and returned for regular tutoring sessions. She was driven to action after reading “Rachel and Her Children,” a book by Jonathan Kozol about homeless families in America. “It takes so little to help a kid,” Stevens told LA Weekly in 2009. “We’re all about kids getting an education ... that’s the only way for the future.” With Stevens at the helm, School on Wheels grew substantially. It now provides weekly tutoring services throughout Southern California as well as backpacks with school supplies, a toll-free number for outreach and retention, assistance with records and school enrollment and guidance for parents. The organization’s Westside region, which includes Santa Monica, features 18 tutoring locations — including 11 shelters, according to marketing director Sinead Chilton. The region has 125 active volunteers. Thanks in part to Stevens’ dedication, more than 3,100 children received tutoring through School on Wheels in 2014. “She was one of those very special human beings who inspired everyone around her,” executive director Catherine Meek said in a statement. “She had such courage and the vision to see beyond all the roadblocks in life. She had an unwavering belief in and passion for School on Wheels.” Stevens’ work with homeless children did not go unnoticed. She was one of three women to receive the World’s Children’s Prize in 2008, and she was named a Minerva Award honoree in 2009. “She was an extraordinary woman who made a lasting difference in our lives and this world,” Meek said. “We all wanted to be a part of making Agnes’ dream of helping homeless children come true. We will miss her every day.” Stevens, a Boston native and former nun who was the youngest of five children, is survived by two brothers, four nephews, two great-nieces and four stepchildren. A memorial service was scheduled to be held at the Paradise Cove community center, 28128 Pacific Coast Hwy., in Malibu. Stevens’ ashes will be taken out to sea in a small private ceremony. Donations to School on Wheels should be sent to P.O. Box 23371, Ventura, CA 93002. S U R F R E P O R T [email protected] SURF FORECASTS WATER FROM PAGE 1 water sales, the City’s self-sufficiency plan program costs, and increased capital funding needs, the City’s cost to provide water service is projected to exceed the City’s water revenues without additional water rate increases,” Public Works Department officials said in a report to council. In December, council voted 5 to 1, while expressing ambivalence, to keep the rate hike on the table. The rationale for this decision was, in part, due to the fact that council will have the chance Tuesday night to lower the rate hike. Without any changes to the status quo, water rates would increase 13 percent over the next five years — 2.5 percent inflation increases each year — and the Water Fund would go into the red by fiscal year 2016-17, city officials have said. A compromise option would be to raise rates by 9 percent each year for the next five years - a 53.9 percent total increase - instead of jumping 13 percent in each of the second through fifth years. City officials have plans for $33 million worth of capital improvement projects over five years but under the compromise rate structure about $5 million of that would be eliminated. One of the most common concerns among residents at the December meeting was a feeling that current taxpayers would be covering the cost of infrastructure improvements that would benefit residents for years to come. Some suggested taking out a bond that could be paid back over a longer period of time but city officials warned against it, noting that it would be looked upon unfavorably by ratings agencies. Councilmember Sue Himmelrich was the only member to oppose the measure in December, but several members expressed concerns with finalizing the 77.7 percent increase. “I’m not a real big fan of the motion,” Mayore Pro Tempore Tony Vazquez said at the time, “but I think I will support it because it sounds like, at least going forward, in terms of the process, it gives us the opportunity if we have to.” Leaving the meeting before he got to vote, Councilmember Terry O’Day said he’d have been comfortable with at least the compromise rate increase. Mayor Kevin McKeown was emphatically supportive of the rate increases, highlighting Santa Monica’s historical relationship with access to water, which has allowed the city its independence from Los Angeles. Santa Monica buys about 20 percent of its water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) which is increasing its rates steadily over the next decade. City Hall has a goal of becoming water self-sufficient by the year 2020 — a goal that city officials say will require investment in water infrastructure. “Owners of record can submit written, signed protests up to the close of the public comment period at the hearing date of February 24, 2015,” city officials said in their report. “Absent a majority protest (which would be approximately 11,000 protests), City Council may approve the final adoption of the rates at the public hearing. As of February 18, 2015, there have been almost 950 protests received by the City Clerk.” These proposed water rates, it should be noted, are separate from the penalties residents and businesses will incur later this year if they can’t cut back on their water usage.

Quantifying e-waste Dear EarthTalk The collective impact of all the iPhones and other devices we buy, use and then discard must be mind-boggling at this point. Has anyone quantified this and what can we do to start reducing waste from such items?

A new report by analysts at German market research firm GfK determined that global smartphone sales exceeded 1.2 billion units in 2014-a 23 percent increase over2013. With so many new smartphones and electronics being purchased, are users disposing of their older devices properly? According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data, approximately 2,440,000 tons of electronics, such as computers, mobile devices and televisions, were disposed of in 2010. Twenty-seven percent, or 649,000 tons, of that “e-waste” was recycled. Because some materials in electronics, such as lead, nickel, cadmium and mercury, could pose risks to human health or the environment, the EPA “strongly supports” keeping used electronics out of landfills. “Recycling electronic equipment isn’t quite as easy as leaving it in a bin in your front yard, as we’ve learned to do with paper and plastics, but the health and environmental benefits of recycling e-scrap are tremendous,” said EPA Region 5 Administrator Mary A. Gade. “Also, we know that half of the devices thrown away still work.” If Americans recycled the approximately 130 million cell phones that are disposed of annually, enough energy would be saved to power more than 24,000 homes in a year. If we went ahead and recycled one million laptops, too, we would save the energy equivalent to the electricity used by 3,657 U.S. homes in a year. Furthermore, for every mil- lion cell phones we recycle, 35,274 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered. Recovering these valuable metals through recycling precludes the need for mining and processing that much new material from the Earth, thus not only conserving natural resources but preventing air and water pollution as well. Thankfully, recycling old smartphones and other electronic devices is an easy, typically cost-free process for consumers. Electronics retailer Best Buy offers the most comprehensive appliance and electronics recycling program in the United States, with more than 400 pounds of product collected for recycling each minute the stores are open. Best Buy offers free recycling for most electronics and large appliances, regardless of where they were purchased, allowing the company to achieve its ambitious goal of recycling one billion pounds of electronics and appliances by the end of 2014. Some charitable organizations, like Cell Phones for Soldiers, also offer free cell phone recycling. Since 2004, the non-profit has prevented more than 11.6 million cell phones from ending up in landfills. All cell phones donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers are sold either to electronic restorers or a recyclers, depending on the phone’s condition. The proceeds from the phones are used to purchase prepaid international calling cards for troops and provide emergency financial assistance to veterans. “Cell Phones for Soldiers truly is a lifeline,” says Robbie Bergquist, co-founder of the non-profit. “To withstand time apart and the pressure of serving our country, the family connection is a critical piece to survival.” EarthTalk® is written and edited by RODDY SCHEER and DOUG MOSS and is a registered trademark of E - The Environmental Magazine (www.emagazine.com).

They had smashed through glass front doors, unbolted the machine, put it on a dolly and rolled it to a waiting car (though it briefly toppled over onto one of the culprits). Managers told police the ATM was empty, disabled and scheduled to be moved to another location later that day. A Calgary police officer expressed bemusement at the city’s recent ATM smash-and-grab epidemic, since the machines are hard to unbolt, hard to open and emptied several times a day. “It’s a very ineffective way to make a living.” ■ “My ultimate dream is to be buried in a deep ocean close to SHEPARD where penguins live,” explained the former Alfred David, 79, otherwise known in his native Belgium as “Monsieur Pingouin” (Mr. Penguin), so named because a 1968 auto accident left him with a waddle in his walk that he decided to embrace with gusto. (His wife abandoned the marriage when he made the name change official; being “Mrs. Penguin” was not what she had signed up for.) Mr. Pingouin started a penguin-item museum that ultimately totaled 3,500 items, and he created a hooded, full-body blackand-white penguin outfit that, according to a September (2011) Reuters dispatch, he wears daily in his waddles around his Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek.

CRIME WATCH B Y D A I L Y P R E S S S T A F F Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. ON FEBRUARY 14, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:55 P.M. Patrol officers responded to the Sears store at 302 Colorado Avenue regarding a theft that just occurred. The suspect, carrying a backpack, entered the store and headed directly to the electronics section. He selected a boxed cell phone from a display shelf, walked behind the shelf out of view of the camera, and then reappeared a few seconds later with his hands empty. A loss prevention officer followed the suspect as he exited the store and walked across Colorado Avenue and into Santa Monica Place. SMPD officers met the Sears employee, who was still tailing the suspect in the area of 5th Street and Broadway, and detained the suspect for investigation. The suspect, identified as Tyler Denzin, was asked if he had a cell phone. He told the officers, “It’s in my backpack.” He granted them permission to search the bag and inside they located the still-boxed phone taken from Sears.
