while supporting small businesses.
Even with fewer in-person gatherings and
reduced gift giving this season, most people
have increased expenses during the holiday
season. Cashing in spare change is a good
way to stretch your budget. Research shows
Americans with spare change at home estimate
that they have on average $113 in and
around their homes. These funds can be used
to buy gifts or apply to other holiday expenses.
Coinstar kiosks found at most grocery stores
are an easy way to convert loose change for
cash, a no-fee eGift card or tax-deductible
charity donation.
According to the Coinstar Holiday Survey,
two in five Americans who say their holiday
will be different due to COVID-19 say they do
not plan to travel or attend in-person gatherings.
To enjoy the holidays safely, consider a virtual
gift exchange with friends or family. Drop off
or mail gifts and plan a time for everyone to
video chat and open presents together. Get
dressed in your favorite holiday attire to make
the event feel special, whether that’s festive

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

from the date of mailing or personal delivery

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
TO CONSIDER AN EXCLUSIVE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN REDFLEX
TRAFFIC SYSTEMS, INC. & THE CITY
OF HAWTHORNE FOR A PHOTO RED
LIGHT ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Tuesday,
December 15, 2020, at 6:00 P.M., a Public Hearing
will be held in the City Council Chambers,
4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne, California,
90250, via a zoom meeting, at which oral or
written comments can be made regarding a
proposed exclusive agreement between the
City of Hawthorne & Redflex Traffic Systems,
Inc. for a photo red light enforcement program.
This public hearing notice is provided pursuant
to California Vehicle Code § 21455.6.
The City of Hawthorne had previously entered
into an exclusive agreement with Redflex Traffic
Systems, Inc., in 2003 and 2009 and now
the City is considering entering into another
exclusive agreement with Redflex for a term
of four (4) years with options to extend the
agreement for another four years.
If you challenge the subject matter of this public
hearing in court, you may be limited to raising
only those issues you or someone else raised
at the public hearing described in this notice, or
in written correspondence delivered to the City
Council at, or prior to, the public hearing. If you

formal wear or ugly sweaters and sweats.
Then, take turns opening gifts and feel the joy.
Rather than a traditional present, consider
alternative gifts that show you care. Do you
have a talent that would benefit others, such
as tutoring a friend’s child who is studying
remotely? Could you drop off a meal for a
senior who’s homebound? Could you donate
a snack basket for hard-working delivery personnel?
Lastly, instead of a present, you could
make a donation in the recipient’s name to a
charity close to that person’s heart.
All of these ideas can help you maximize the
holiday season, but if you still long to celebrate
in person, consider planning a gathering for later
in 2021. According the survey, about half said
they would consider “Christmas in July” in
2021 for in-person celebrations. So, whether
it’s a summer Christmas event, an early
Friendsgiving or another winter holiday, it’s
something to look forward to once it’s safe
again. Send out “save the date” invitations and
put your creative juices to work for a summer
get-together. •
