He asked for additional signage and to paint the curbs to discourage the truck drivers from parking there—contending that they obstruct traffic and create potential hazards. Popcornopolis’ lawyer offered to cover the cost of signage along Grand Avenue. City Manager Greg Carpenter said staff has been in contact with the company to get drivers to take responsibility for where they park and added that the City can fix a red curb if faded. Though he reported that the Police Department recommended against signage at that location, Carpenter indicated that the item will go on the Council agenda next month. The beginning of the meeting featured a commendation thanking all volunteers for their efforts in coordinating the El Segundo Community Christmas Dinner. The festivities will again take place at The Joslyn Center at noon on December 25. JMW Catering will provide the dinner with sponsorship by the El Segundo Kiwanis Club; food donations from the DoubleTree Hotel and KIND bars; and floral arrangements by Natural Simplicity. The late Old Town Music Hall co-founder Bill Coffman originally conceived the idea of the dinner back in 1983, with the last 28 held at Joslyn Center. The next El Segundo City Council meeting will be on January 17. • 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?

NOTICE 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 16-41342. 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.
