success, leadership, and service to school
and community.
Madison was nominated along with 5600
other candidates from across the nation. A
distinguished panel of educators reviewed the
submissions and selected 621 semi-finalists.
And drum roll please, Madison has been
notified that she is one of those 621 special
seniors. The Commission of Presidential
Scholars, a group of 32 eminent citizens
appointed by the President, will select the
finalist and announced in May.
The nomination for the U.S. Presidential
Scholars Program is very secretive. Those
nominated don’t know who chose them.
Madison has her thoughts and believes State
Superintendent Tony Thurmond nominated
her. “They tell us that the selection is based
on SAT scores and activities/community
service.” According to Madison, she received
a letter in the mail telling her she had been
nominated. Dr. Gooden was notified too and
offered to assist her if she needed any help
with the subsequent application. “They are
reviewing our final applications now and I’ll
find out in a few weeks if I’m selected as
one of approximately 120 scholars selected.”
Madison is currently deciding where she’ll
be attending college. She is interested in staying
close to home and attending either USC
or UCLA. “I’m currently deciding between
UCLA and USC. I was offered a presidential
half-tuition scholarship at USC, but it’s still
more expensive than UCLA, so we’ll see!
At USC, my major is called philosophy,
politics, and economics, and my major at
UCLA would be political science.”
These days Madison is staying active
at home by going on walks with her new
Labradoodle puppy named Beau. She’s also
going to UCLA and USC with her dad to
walk around the campuses to help decide
where she’ll attend college. Her family is
close and they have been playing plenty of
games such as Scrabble and Yahtzee.
Madison’s immediate goal is hoping colleges
will reopen in the fall and get a job
on campus. She is also interested in studying
abroad in Israel, Greece, or London. Her
long-range goal and possibly a pathway to her
future is to go to law school. “Hopefully, I’ll
work as a civil rights attorney or something
on an international scale. However, I’m also
really interested in journalism.”
Madison is interested in political journalism,
such as covering state, national and international
politics and policymaking. USC has a
program called Master of Public Diplomacy,
where Madison would get to study how
governments across the world use the media
to spread their messaging. “Both print and
TV interest me because I love both writing
and public speaking,” said Madison.
One day we might turn on the television
tuned into a press conference at the White
House. Sitting in the front row in press row,
asking insightful questions, will be none other
than Madison Kellum. •

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the
City Council of the City of Hawthorne will hold
a public hearing on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at
6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 4455
West 126th Street, Hawthorne, CA 90250, to
consider the following matter:
Consideration of Ordinance No. 2201, amendments
to Title 1 (General Provisions), Title
15 (Buildings and Construction) and Title 17
(Zoning) of the Hawthorne Municipal Code to
provide staff with additional enforcement strategies
such as City withholding of permits and
adding application considerations to address
delinquent fines, zoning violations and continuing
violations of the Hawthorne Municipal Code.
Those interested in this item may appear
at the public hearing and submit oral or
written comments, or may, prior to the
public hearing, direct written information
pertaining to this item to the City Clerk
at 4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne,
California 90250 or cityclerk@cityofhawthorne.
org. Persons may view the
proposed documents at the City Clerk’s
Department at 4455 West 126th Street,
Hawthorne, California 90250.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Ordinance to the Hawthorne
Municipal Code is not a project subject to
the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with Section 21065 of
CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines Sections
15060 (c)(2), 15060 (c)(3), and 15378, and is
exempt from CEQA as defined in CEQA
Guidelines section 15378, Section 15061
(b)(3) (general rule) and 15321 “Enforcement
Actions by Regulatory Agencies” (Class 21).
The proposed Ordinance has no significant
effect on the environment nor does it have
any potential for resulting in either a
direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect
physical change in the environment because
the amendments to the Hawthorne
Municipal Code merely provide an additional
enforcement tool for staff when presented with
applications pertaining to persons or properties
with Municipal Code violations and/or delinquent
fines, penalties or costs.

Summary of Adoption of Ordinance 2199
Repealing Chapter 2.27 (“Design Review
Board”) and Amending Chapter 17.99
(“Design Review”) of the Hawthorne
Municipal Code (“HMC”) To Provide
Design-Making Authority Regarding
Design and Architectural Review for
Specified Projects to the Planning
Commission
Pursuant to Government Code section
36933(c), the following constitutes a summary
of Ordinance No. 2199 which was approved by
the City Council at its regular meeting on April
28, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. Pursuant to California
Government Code section 36933(c)(1), the City
Council has previously directed the preparation
and publication of a summary of Ordinance
No. 2199 which repeals Chapter 2.27 that
established the “Design Review Board” and
amends various provisions of Chapter 17.99
(“Design Review”) of the Hawthorne Municipal
Code providing decision-making authority
regarding design and architectural review to
the Planning Commission, as follows:
By Ordinance No. 2119 adopted on July 12,
2016, the City Council of the City of Hawthorne
created the “Design Review Board” (“DRB”).
Since its creation, the City has actively sought
to encourage volunteers for the DRB. Despite
these efforts in outreach, seats on the DRB
have remained vacant. As a result, the City’s
process for architectural and design review
detailed in Chapter 17.99 has remained without
a formal decision-making body, as envisioned.
Therefore, staff believed that the best course of
action, to ensure projects will have the intended
review, is to repeal the creation of the DRB,
contained in Chapter 2.27, and provide, in
Chapter 17.99 that the Planning Commission
would serve the purposes envisioned for the
DRB. It is common practice in many cities for
Planning Commissioners to review a project’s
architecture and design and to formally serve
as the Design Review body. In addition, in
Hawthorne, staff regularly provides the Commission
with architectural plans; therefore, the
current Commission has familiarity with design
review generally.
Accordingly, Ordinance No. 2199 repeals Chapter
2.27 and changes all references throughout
Chapter 17.99 from “Design Review Board” to
“Planning Commission” so as to provide the
Planning Commission with the decision-making
authority to review specified projects for design
and architectural conformity with the design
guidelines of the City of Hawthorne.
The proposed Ordinance to the Zoning
Code is not a project subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines
section 15378 because placing authority
to conduct design review upon the Planning
Commission has no potential for
resulting in either a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in
the environment.
A certified copy of the entirety of the text of
Ordinance No. 2199 is available both on the
City’s website and also in the office of the City
Clerk, 4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne,
California, and is open for public inspection.
Pursuant to Government Code section 36933(c),
the summary of Ordinance No. 2199 was
published at least five (5) days before the
ordinance was considered for adoption on April
28, 2020 at a duly convened regular meeting
of the Hawthorne City Council.
