Page 12 April 6, 2017 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Region from page 3 Dodgers from page 5 campaign. Familiarize yourself now with the name Logan Forsythe. The Dodgers’ new second baseman came over from the Tampa Bay Rays and may just be the piece that the Dodgers have been missing all of these years. Andrew Toles came out of nowhere late in the season for L.A. last year. He should make an impact in left field and at the top of the order for the Dodgers this year. Don’t sleep on Alex Wood or Ross Stripling in the rotation. Although neither player made the starting five, both will be looking to prove themselves this season and have a huge impact on the pitching staff in what is always a long and trying season. Jansen steals all of the headlines coming out of the pen, but Adam Liberatore and Grant Dayton will make names for themselves. They’ll certainly have the opportunity with how much Dave Roberts likes to use his relief. Baseball is back and is now officially in action. Could this be the year that the Dodgers finally get over the hump and make it into the World Series? It’s too early to tell, but while you’re in the process of finding out, there will certainly be plenty of fun to take part in out at Chavez Ravine. – Asixlion@earthlink.net the toughest in the nation. Trump on March 28 issued an executive order that overturned Obama-era restrictions on coal-burning at U.S. power plants. Brown vowed earlier this year to keep our tough emission standards in place through the next four years. It’s both a direct challenge to the new President and a potential loss of federal money, which the state badly needs. By comparison, the data presented in the 2017 early forecast shows the U.S. economy lagging compared to 1947-2007. The growth rate over that 60-year period was twice the current rate, the authors note. This economy could not withstand a “significant external shock,” Fineup warns, despite record stock market prices. Making matters worse, Governor Brown and lawmakers are facing their first budget deficit in five years. It’s possible that Presi- dent Trump wouldn’t include California in any windfall of federal money from a jobs program or infrastructure buildup. Sacramento depends on federal dollars for Medicaid recipients. Local police and law enforcement agencies are funded in part by the Department of Justice. The White House says it will withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities that don’t enforce federal immigrant policies under the Trump administration. Money needed for the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act could be on the chopping block too. Trump lost the popular vote here, so a political payback is a real possibility. The “Trump effect” here could have a different meaning than what supporters and pro-business groups expected after the November election. “Early signs indicate that Trump might actually try to stick it to California,” Fienup warns. • City Council from front page hopes of a final selection by the end of May or early June. The Council also approved the appointments of Brian Hauer and Tori Lieberstein to the City’s Technology Committee. Both will serve partial terms, with Hauer’s expiring on June 30, 2019 and Lieberstein wrapping up one year after that. This brings the committee’s membership up to the allotted seven. At Fuentes’ request, the Council directed staff to send a letter of support to the State Assembly Public Safety Committee for Assembly Bill 1326. The legislation is in reaction to 2014’s Proposition 47 that increased the threshold for what is considered grand theft (a felony) from $450 to $950 per incident. The bill looks to address the continuing increase in theft crimes by allowing law enforcement authorities to take the cumulative dollar value of property stolen by an individual over the course of a year into account and then be able to proceed with felony prosecution if that amount hits or exceeds $950. Addressing the Council on the topic, Police Chief Mitch Tavera spoke of offenders “pillaging retail businesses” while being aware that they can’t be arrested for a felony as long as the stolen goods fall under that $950 threshold. He added that due to Prop 47, officers can no longer arrest people on suspicion (with probable cause) of theft. The categories of shoplifting, forgery, non-sufficient funds for checks and possession of stolen property all fall under the $950 window. Councilmember Don Brann received his colleagues’ blessing to establish an ad-hoc committee to look at how the City can deal with problems related to the public employees retirement system (CalPERS) and escalating pension liabilities. He spoke of the importance of getting a group together “to learn what we’re on the hook for” and figure out what the current Council can do. “The longer you let this go, the worse it becomes,” Brann said. Dugan supported the move, but added that the matter “needs to go far beyond El Segundo” and should involve other municipalities and organizations such as the League of California Cities. During public communications, local resident Richard Arabian asked the Council to consider reevaluating water/sewer billing in the future—in particular a wastewater treatment charge that is the same for residents regardless of how many units of water they use. He felt that out of fairness, the fee should be assessed on a prorated basis while still achieving the City’s financial needs. Fuentes and Brann agreed, though it will be another year-and-half before the Council looks at water bills again. At the beginning of the meeting, the Council proclaimed the month of April as “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” and designated April 26 as “Denim Day” in urging everyone to wear jeans that Wednesday to help communicate the message that there is “no excuse and never an invitation to rape.” According to statistics, someone in America is sexually assaulted every two minutes, and approximately one in six women are raped during their lifetimes—with youths under 18 accounting for about 44 percent of the reported cases. • PUBLIC NOTICES PUBLISH YOUR PUBLIC NOTICES HERE ABANDONMENTS: $125.00 ABC NOTICES: $125.00 DBA (Fictitious Business Name): $75.00 NAME CHANGE: $125.00 Other type of notice?
