City Council from front page
Also on Tuesday, the Council formally
approved the 2018/19 fiscal year budget that
itemizes the group’s previous direction on
how to allocate a $7.1 million surplus. The
breakdown includes $3.1 million towards
recommended capital improvement projects,
$1.5 million to pay down unfunded CalPERS
pension liability, $1 million into the Section
115 pension trust fund, and $1.08 million in
department requests.
At the last budget study session, the Council
told department heads to find monies internally
for any new personnel hires/promotions and to
not pull the dollars out of the surplus. Finance
Director Joe Lillio reported partial success in
that regard. Staff found $317,638 out of existing
funds for some of the positions. However, they
could not locate monies for another $320,557
in requests --- so those positions won’t be filled
for the time being. The Council previously did
not approve $333,220 in various other department
requests.
Councilmember Don Brann voted no on the
budget, reiterating his position that the City’s
reserves are too high at 19 percent (he prefers
them at 15 percent) and that the surplus should
go towards what he termed “the three P’s” –
pension, pools and planes. While proud of his
colleagues for prioritizing pension liability, he
felt it important to dedicate funds to renovate
The Plunge and to also put aside $2 million
to properly fight airport expansion. Mayor Pro
Tem Carol Pirsztuk noted that the approved
capital project list includes $1 million for facilities
assessment, with The Plunge one of the
components. Nicol presented Brann with the
double-edged sword of fighting the airport by
stating that LAX is “one of the driving forces
of our number one tax revenue” – transient
occupancy taxes from local hotel stays.
Nicol and Councilmember Chris Pimentel
will serve as a two-man subcommittee to enter
into upcoming discussions with officials from
Drive Shack and TopGolf – the two finalists
to land the contract for future operations,
management and improvements at The Lakes
at El Segundo. With support from staff, Nicol
and Pimentel will represent the City’s interests
and return to the Council within approximately
two months with an update. The goal is to
go into more details regarding the two companies’
offers and to ensure inclusion of key
deal points such as robust youth programs; El
Segundo resident discounts; construction of a
new, separate clubhouse building; various golf
course improvements; competitive course rates;
and ability to renegotiate the agreement after
conclusion of the first term.
During the consent agenda, the Council approved
the new social host ordinance that will
fine persons who are aware of or encourage
alcohol or marijuana consumption by minors
at large gatherings, but don’t take reasonable
steps to prevent it. Pimentel was the lone dis-
senting vote, calling the ordinance the “wrong
tool for the right job.” He described it as a
“shortcut around the criminal process” that
inappropriately uses regulations. Nicol begged
to differ. “It [the ordinance] is a tool,” he said.
“It’s a statement we want to make as a town
and as a group of people to say, ‘We’re not
okay with this.’”
Also during consent, the Council approved
two facility use agreements with El Segundo
Unified School District (ESUSD) for the El
Segundo-Wiseburn Aquatics Center and The
Plunge. Under the arrangement, ESUSD will
contribute $400,000 towards equipment purchase
for community and school programming at the
Aquatics Center. The City will cover other
costs, including utilities. The agreement will
run for 10 years with the option (if both parties
agree) to extend for up to four separate 10-year
renewals. District usage of the new facility will
be equal to that of Wiseburn Unified School
District: three hours daily for six days a week.
Regarding The Plunge renovation, ESUSD will
kick in 24 percent of the total project cost, not
to exceed $1 million.
The Council also approved the draft joint use
agreement with Wiseburn, but City Attorney
Mark Hensley reported a couple of major
sticking points that may require the item to
return to the group in the coming weeks. One,
he said, is a resistance to reference the other
district in the agreement. The second issue is
that Wiseburn wants additional pool time. That
request, Hensley noted, has to be at the City’s
discretion since the latter wants to capitalize
on revenue-generating opportunities when the
schools do not use the facility.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Council
heard a presentation from summer intern Katherine
Kakuske (who just went off to college
in Oregon) about her eight weeks spent with
the Library and Recreation and Parks learning
about the two departments and working on
various projects. Among other highlights, she
hosted the first-ever Teen Center Art Show
that drew over 50 attendees and showcased 13
artists between the ages of 14 and 20.
The Council also recognized (and took photos)
with three El Segundo Little League all-star
teams that advanced to state tournaments. The
groups included the 9-10s (managed by Jenette
Osbourne), the 10-11s (managed by Eddie Lee)
and the 11-12s that finished in the top one
percent in California (managed by Mike Alcala).
Event Chair Barry Gribbon accepted a proclamation
on behalf of the El Segundo Kiwanis
Club for this Saturday’s Fair on Richmond Street.
The 43rd annual fundraiser will run from 9 to
5, with an expanded area going further north
on Richmond to include school/youth groups
to “make it more about El Segundo” than ever.
Gribbon reported that festivities will include
live music, over 100 merchants, a petting zoo,
and local food providers. •

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property lien,
you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a trustee auction.
You will be bidding on a lien, not on the
property itself. Placing the highest bid at
a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of
the property. You should also be aware
that the lien being auctioned off may
be a junior lien. If you are the highest
bidder at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all liens senior
to the lien being auctioned off, before
you can receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder’s office
or a title insurance company, either
of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these
resources, you should be aware that the
same lender may hold more than one
mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times
by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee,
or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g
of the California Civil Code. The law
requires that information about trustee
sale postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a courtesy
to those not present at the sale. If you
wish to learn whether your sale date has
been postponed, and, if applicable, the
rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 916-939-0772
for information regarding the trustee’s

by the Trustee: CA-13-544247-VF.
Information about postponements
that are very short in duration or that
occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected
in the telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend
the scheduled sale. The undersigned

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE
requests that DEMIAN L. PRITCHARD
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority
to administer the estate under the
Independent Administration of Estates
Act with limited authority. (This authority
will allow the personal representative
to take many actions without obtaining
court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be required
to give notice to interested persons
unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action.) The
independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested
person files an objection to the petition
and shows good cause why the
court should not grant the authority.

held in this court as follows: 10/12/18
at 8:30AM in Dept. 9 located at 111 N.
HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or
file written objections with the court
before the hearing. Your appearance
may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file
your claim with the court and mail a copy
to the personal representative appointed
by the court within the later of either
(1) four months from the date of first
issuance of letters to a general personal
representative, as defined in section 58(b)
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60
days from the date of mailing or personal
delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court
a Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and
appraisal of estate assets or of any
petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court
clerk.
