Puppy Love: Everyone
Grows up with the Herald
El Segundo Chamber of Commerce CEO/
President Marsha Hansen received a surprise
visit at the office last week from her new
puppy named Beau. It didn’t take much
training for him to learn the importance of
bringing (literally) local news to the Chamber.
Election Vote Count Update
After last Tuesday’s municipal election,
the City Clerk’s office received roughly 700
additional vote by mail (allowed to be accepted
three days after the election provided
they were postmarked on or before April 10)
and provisional ballots. This will affect the
unofficial election result totals reported last
week. The ballots will be canvassed, inspected
and counted today (April 19) starting at 9
a.m. in the West Conference Room at City
Hall. Final results will be audited tomorrow.
The unofficial results for the City Council
race showed candidates Scot Nicol and Chris
Pimentel in front for two available seats with
1,604 and 1,596 votes respectively. Lance
Giroux trailed the two with 1,425 votes with
Maria Barden in fourth with 387 votes. While
the new count could potentially change the
order of the top three vote-getters, the fate
of Measure C (the three-quarter-cent sales
tax increase that would be implemented only
if LA County places its own sales tax hike
on a future ballot) is set – as more than 84
percent of local voters approved it in the
unofficial results.

Homeless Outreach Meeting Next Week
The City of El Segundo invites local citizens
to take part in a conversation to create
solutions for homelessness in town. A Community
Meeting will take place on April 25
from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at El Segundo City
Council Chambers (350 Main St.).
Throughout our region, homelessness has
become a significant challenge. In Los Angeles
County, there are nearly 60,000 homeless
on any given night. El Segundo’s homeless
neighbors are a relatively small group, yet
their access to services and housing is still
an issue that deserves attention.
In November 2017, the Los Angeles County
Homelessness Initiative established funding
to support planning activities made by cities
in the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. El
Segundo received one of these grants and is
currently collecting input from the residential
and business community on the challenge
of combating and preventing homelessness
within our area. The City’s Homeless Plan
will serve as a guide for addressing this issue
locally and regionally.
The City asks citizens to join in tackling
this multifaceted issue. If you’re not able
to attend this meeting, email Sergeant Ryan
Danowitz at rdanowitz@elsegundo.org to
let him know what your experience is with
homeless neighbors and how you think the
City can better serve them.
