conception to final product. He cited the Top
Golf development as an example. Said council
member Scot Nicol, “Eric, no offense but ‘The
Plunge’ is going to be a pool one day, in my
humble opinion. It will be a pool the day I die,
I hope. But conceptually, I love the idea. And
I think that it, would this be something that
could potentially add value to our community?
Yes, I do. Do I think that it’s cleaner in the
private property realm? Yes, I do.”
The city has been focused on how to bring its
historic pool facility in downtown El Segundo
back to life. The Urho Saari Swim Stadium,
now an aging facility previously used for years
with quite a turnout of aquatic athletes, was
built by the U.S. Work Projects Administration
in 1940 and is a 25-yard pool with eight lanes.
It is named after Urho Saarhi, a world-famous
swimming and water polo coach who was
hired to coach at El Segundo High School in
1941. Saarhi led his water polo teams to 12
CIF championships and his swim teams to six.
He also coached the U.S. Olympic water polo
team twice, in 1952 and 1964, and served as
manager of the 1960 squad. In 1973, he left
his full-time coaching position at El Segundo
High School. Given its age, over the years, the
pool has fallen into disrepair, with residents
pushing the city to revitalize the aging facility.
Indeed, the city is working to bring it back
to life and has set a plan in motion. Part of
the facility’s appeal is its “art deco” exterior,
which contains beautiful sculptures built into
the facade. Fondly known as “The Plunge”,
the swim stadium has legendary status in El
Segundo and beyond.
During the meeting’s early moments, recently
promoted El Segundo Fire Chief Deena
Lee introduced the city’s new fire Marshall
Nicole Pesqueira, who brings a long list of
fire department credentials. City Manager
Scott Mitnick told the council that city facilities
are now back open after being briefly
shuttered due to the last COVID-19 outbreak
of the Omicron variant. Mayor Drew Boyles
wished all a Happy Lunar New Year 2022.
He noted that 22 billion people worldwide
celebrate the Lunar New Year and that 2022
is the Year of the Tiger.
During the public comment portion of
the meeting, Andrew Young, a Los Angeles
attorney, spoke at length about an incident
on August 24, 2019, at the Anthropologie
clothing retail store located in an El Segundo
shopping center east of Pacific Coast Highway.
He detailed an account of two “African
American” women who were arrested by El
Segundo Police after store personnel identified
the women as shoplifters. Young went
on to explain that had police, in his opinion,
reviewed any evidence at the time, they
would have found no evidence to support
the shoplifting claims. He said that neither
woman had “bags” on them; one woman had
a very small bag roughly half the size of an
8-1/2 by 5 inches, and she entered the store
to buy some clothing. He said this woman
had never been in the store before and left
without purchasing anything. He said that
one woman was being “actively monitored”
while in the store “due to the color of her
skin.” Upon leaving the store, the women
were met and detained by El Segundo Police
on suspicion of shoplifting and told that the
Anthropologie manager had called the police.
Young told council members that the two
women had taken nothing. Months prior, the
Anthropologie store had $950 worth of merchandise
taken from the store by an unknown
African American woman and man driving a
green Mercedes. “Anthropologie employees
racially profiled” the women and “blamed
the prior theft” on the women “because of
their skin color, and that’s the only thing
that matched the description of the prior
suspects.” According to Young, none of the
employees saw any merchandise being taken
or attempted to be taken by the women, and
police made “zero efforts to investigate the
validity or proof of the claims which would
have exonerated” the woman on the spot.
As an example, Young said Anthropologie
employees said they had one of the women
on camera showing her taking merchandise
but that a cursory review of the footage would
have shown she didn’t steal anything.” He said
ESPD took the word of three white women
over “all evidence pointing to zero crimes
being committed.” One of the women was
taken to jail and booked on Felony Grand
Theft, he said. City Manager Mitnick, who
frequently addresses public comments, told
council and the public the city isn’t “at liberty
to discuss pending lawsuits.” •
