Inglewood Police Department Invites Community To Stuff The Trailer By Cristian Vasquez The first-ever Inglewood Police Department “Stuff the Police Trailer” event is in full swing and Inglewood residents are being asked to join the effort on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Grevillea Avenue, between Regent and Queen Streets. “In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, the Inglewood Police Department is sponsoring its initial “Stuff the Police Trailer” event,” state the IPD press release. “This event is geared to assist needy families who are experiencing difficulties during this holiday season. It is a time where we invite the community to come out and “Stuff the Police Trailer” with new and unused unwrapped toys.” Members of the IPD and Santa Claus will greet individuals donating toys during the allday collection event. Since Nov. 27 unwrapped gifts have been accepted at the IPD Station located at One W. Manchester Blvd., in the lobby area. Gifts will be screened and delivered to select Inglewood families that have been determined to be in need, so that parents can provide gifts for their children. “Every holiday season there are thousands of families across the United States who experience some hardship that prevents them from having an enjoyable holiday season,” states the press release. “By participating in the “Stuff the Police Trailer” event, we can do our part to help needy families within the Inglewood community.” Art Consultant Selected To Commission New Public Art Plan Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts and members of the city council approved the Hollywood Park Casino Phase I Public Art Plan presented by art consultant Tiffany Lendrum. Lendrum, the principal of Lendrum Finer Art for the commissioning of the new artworks, will include a variety of artworks and artists dedicated to using different mediums for their work. Phase I of the project’s art plan will allow the developer to contract the artists for the commissioning of artwork. The cost for the approved phase is set at $225,500 and so far will include a large ceramic flower bouquet and vase on an exterior pedestal [by artist Matt Wedel], as well as a series of site-related still frames on alumni created by Inglewood artist Michele Asselin. The developer is also proposing the purchase of undated works of art from Los Angeles’ artist’s Zoe Crosher series “Out the Window,” which includes six panels of lighted photographic prints highlighting airplanes as observed when looking out of a window. Also being considered is the purchase of photographs taken by James Welling between 1998 and 2001. “The developer, Hollywood Park Casino Club Investors, LLC, hired Fine Art to create a phased public art plan for the Casino,” indicates the staff report signed by Parks, Recreation, and Library Services Director Sabrina Barnes. “They are proposing to meet the City’s private percent for art requirement through a multi-phase public art plan to address the multiple parts of the development which may include publicly accessed water features and a professional sports stadium.” Based on construction valuation of the new non-residential private structure, as well as other non-residential project, when a project will cost no less than $250,000 in the City of Inglewood the developer is mandated to provide 1 percent of the development’s value to public art. The developer may meet such a requirement by paying an “in-lieu fee” or by incorporating artwork into a development project. Based on the multiple partnerships needed for this large-scale project, an incremental approach to the public art plan was required. “The developer has full commitment and control of the architectural enhancements of the Hollywood Park Casino, a 21 and over gambling facility,” states the staff report. “The public art for the Casino’s Phase I Art Plan will be at the entryway, visible to the general public, and works on paper for the interior walls accessible only to adult audiences.” Featuring commercial, residential and recreational facilities on the same site and under the same development plans, makes The Hollywood Park Land Company project is one of the largest projects in the city’s history. The former site of the Hollywood Park Racetrack and Casino, will begin with the construction of a new casino and will include a valuation of public art in the amount of $491,870. • “This event is geared to assist needy families who are experiencing difficulties during this holiday season.” Inside This Issue Certified & Licensed Professionals.......................6 Classifieds............................3 Film Review..........................3 Finance..................................2 Food.......................................8 Legals................................ 6-7 Pets........................................5 Police Reports.....................3 Sports....................................4 Seniors..................................4 Weekend Forecast Friday Sunny 68˚/50˚ Saturday Sunny 75˚/54˚ Sunday Mostly Sunny 73˚/54˚
