Page 14 May 26, 2016 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Jacobson from front page where to find me. It has been a wonderful experience serving the people of El Segundo. The residents and businesses have been great and I appreciate everyone’s support. It has meant a lot. Most of all, I have to thank my wife and family for standing behind me. I would never have been able to manage all these years without them. I do have to say that the time really flew by.” Looking back at his 24 years of service, how does Jacobson hope he is remembered? “As someone who really loved El Segundo and did everything he could to be fiscally responsible, act with integrity, and preserve and enhance the community assets that make people want to be here in the first place,” he said. “This is a special place to live and to raise a family. I hope that some of the things I was able to accomplish helped others enjoy the same kind of life we’ve been fortunate to have here.” • Police Reports from page 2 One male adult was arrested at 0643 hours from the 200 block of Oregon Street for grand theft.

It now attracts more than 600 attendees annually from all over the Southland, as well as many prominent authors and poets. “The Author Fair continues to grow every year and has really become a major draw bringing people to the Library not just from the local community but from all over the Southland,” Todd said. “It has earned a great deal of acclaim and part of the testament to that is the high caliber of talented writers and poets who have committed CALL DON 310-798-0450 LIC # 726089 event that trains citizens in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He has volunteered at every past event and said he will continue to do so despite his Council retirement. Recreation and Parks accomplishments included the opening of the beach facility and lifeguard station at the end of Grand Avenue; the completion of the Campus El Segundo Athletic Fields; various park upgrades (including the recent re-opening of Hilltop Playground that is considered a model facility for the entire state); original arrangement to construct The Lakes golf course and driving range; numerous library additions and improvements; and the move to bring a new aquatics facility to town in the next couple of years. “I am excited about the state-of-the-art pool coming to the future Wiseburn site, but I hope the next Council makes sure to finally fix our Plunge, which should never be allowed to fall by the wayside,” Jacobson said, adding that he was part of the Council votes that authorized major past renovations to that facility (e.g. new architecturally-appropriate windows) and got the Urho Saari Swim Stadium classified as El Segundo’s first and still-only historical building. For local seniors, Jacobson was instrumental in bringing Park Vista housing to town without using federal funds. He also worked to expand and upgrade the Joslyn Center. And on the subject of schools,handyman he and his wife Nancy (a long-time local schoolteacher) were charter members of BILL’S the El Segundo Education Foundation’s Superintendent’s Roundtable. As part of the Council, Jacobson helped craft the joint use agreement allowing the City to utilize various campus facilities when not in use by the school and for El Segundo Unified to do the same for City facilities. He was also key in starting the City/school library affiliation agreement. Mayor Suzanne Fuentes recently remarked that if the City had an issue that impacted local quality of life, Jacobson served on a related commission—twice. His resume of involvement encompasses just about every commission, committee and board ever formed in El Segundo. The list includes LAX Area Advisory Committee, FAA Roundtable, Aviation where he felt made a positive difference. On the development side, he and the Council of the time worked to place Downtown power and utility lines underground to help beautify the area; completed a new general plan in less than a year with full public participation; saw El Segundo win two Most Business- Friendly City awards, including the first one ever handed out by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation as well as the 2015 honors; brought in the Plaza El Segundo and The Point complexes as well as Elevon and various creative office projects; and paved the way for the upcoming Lakers facility, four new hotels and the future Raytheon South Campus development. For infrastructure, Jacobson was part of the leadership that oversaw the Douglas Street Gap Closure, Douglas/Nash two-way street conversions, other street improvements, Southern California Edison issue resolutions, sewer pump station overhauls, El Segundo and Aviation boulevard improvements, and current Richmond Street rehabilitation, among other items. Jacobson considers the retention of Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo as one of his most important successes. “During the 1991 BRAC [Base Realignment and Closures], a group of us collaborated to find housing options for Air Force personnel as a way to keep the Base here,” he said. “We also formed a coalition and went to Washington, D.C. to lobby for the Base.” Regarding LAX, Jacobson was a key figure in the 2005 settlement agreement that yielded funding for residential sound insulation in town while also limiting passenger gate capacity. Other achievements included persuading the FAA to change navigation procedures in just three months (as opposed to the normal oneyear HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.
