April 2, 2015 Page 3 Hawthorne Happenings News For The ‘City Of Good Neighbors’ From City Clerk Norb Huber Walkabi lity of Your City In a recent survey, Americans prefer to live in cities that allow them to walk to their favorite shops, restaurants or businesses. When purchasing a home many buyers are willing to pay a little bit more for a place close to a coffee shop or to a shopping area. It has been shown that a home’s value has increased just by the presence of a Starbucks within walking distance. Most of us want to do our part to save our planet by not using our global warming, smog producing vehicles, but Southern California was built for cars. Our homes are located in one town and we work in another. Our churches are located in another nearby city. Our doctor’s office is located five miles away from where we reside. We are forced to own and operate an automobile. It is nice whenever we can walk to get to a destination. I live close to Inglewood Avenue and it is nice to walk to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. We are blessed to live just a half mile away from our grandchildren. It’s great to be able to walk to see them. It never fails that I run into a neighbor on one of my walks. It’s nice to say hello and stop and talk for a few minutes. I wish we all had more opportunities to get out of our cars and walk. It would be better for our health and the health of our community. Holy Week Since I volunteer to write this column, I pretty much have the freedom to write about anything I want.

Nina Idemudia Assistant Planner Hawthorne Press Tribune Pub. 4/2/15 HH-24634 NOTICE THAT HAWTHORNE CITY COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER ADOPTING ORDINANCE NO. 2086 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 14, 2015, at 6:00 P.M., the Hawthorne City Council will consider adopting the following ordinance, which will be summarized upon adoption, pursuant to Government Code § 36933(c)(1) as follows: Ordinance No. 2086, repeals and re-enacts Section 8.20 (Nuisances) of Title VIII (Health and Safety) of the Hawthorne Municipal Code, relating to the establishment of comprehensive property maintenance standards, including the designation of public nuisances, establishing procedures for the abatement of public nuisances, including the abatement of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled and inoperative vehicles and repealing Chapter 8.40 (Property Maintenance). Abatement of Public Nuisances Ordinance 2086 provides a comprehensive list of what defines a nuisance and declares as a public nuisance the failure of a property owner to keep their portion of the alley, street or parkway clean of garbage and debris. This provision places responsibility on private property owners in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Code Enforcement staff would judiciously utilize the enforcement tools and remedies in this re-enacted ordinance to address code violation. The City may exercise its administrative, civil/injunctive and criminal remedies, or any one or combination of these remedies, to compel responsible persons to NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: MARY KOMADA CASE NO. BP160075 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of MARY KOMADA. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MARTHA SANCHEZ in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARTHA SANCHEZ 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 . (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. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/22/15 at 8:30AM in Dept. 5 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 meandering diatribes personal and interesting for my readers. I hope that some of the time you can relate to my stories. I try my best to be transparent in my role as city clerk. There is an old saying, “two topics you never should to discuss: politics and religion”. I do my best to never disrespect an individual or group of people. I share my opinions and respect the opinions of others even if they hold an opposite view than mine. I do the same with my religious beliefs. If you have read my columns, I speak out about my Christian faith. I respect the faiths of others. This is the most important week of the year for Christians. On Good Friday, the church commemorates the death of Jesus by crucifixion. His resurrection on Easter Sunday and the promise that we will be raised from the dead is what gives Christians joy. It’s not about what I do or have done. It’s all about Jesus overcoming death on the cross and rising from the grave. It’s not my works but Christ’s work that saves me. That is what makes Christianity different that all of the other religions of the world. May you abate a public nuisance when, in its judgment, such persons have not completed nuisance abatement actions in a timely or proper manner, or when responsible persons have failed to prevent an occurrence or recurrence of a public nuisance. The proposed ordinance would enable the City to notice, abate, and recover costs associated with removing trash and debris from the public right-of-ways, should a property owner choose not to remove the trash and debris when noticed to do so. Procedures for the notice of abatement of both imminent and non-imminent hazards are contained in this proposed ordinance. The intent of the proposed ordinance is to reduce the amount of trash and debris left on the public right-ofways, effectively improving the safety and cleanliness of the City. The procedure for the City to recover costs of abatement, including code enforcement costs and attorneys’ fees in also contained in the proposed ordinance. Recovery of costs includes Special Assessment and recording a nuisance abatement lien on the subject property. A certified copy of the full text of proposed ordinance No. 2086 has been made available in the City Clerk’s Department posted on March 19, 2015 in the office of the city clerk at 4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne, CA 90250 (310) 349-2915. This ordinances is agendized for adoption on April 14, 2015. City Hall will be closed on April 3rd, 2015.
