13-A
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jeffrey L. Stewart, City Manager
Mayra Ochiqui, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to select an adjudicated newspaper for purposes of publishing legal notices for the City.
DATE: October 10, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Official publications must be made only in a “newspaper of general circulation” within the jurisdiction. If a particular jurisdiction does not have such a newspaper, the publication must be made “in a newspaper of general circulation published nearest thereto.” Per Government Code §§ 6027 and 6028, in order to qualify as a newspaper of general circulation, a newspaper must obtain a judicial decree. In a recent review by staff, staff identified two local adjudicated newspapers in Los Angeles County with judicial decrees that could serve the City: the Bellflower Herald American and Los Cerritos Community News. Staff is requesting the City Council select an adjudicated newspaper for purposes of publishing legal notices for the City.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Select an adjudicated newspaper and direct staff to publish lega l notices for the City in the selected publication; or
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
Each department is responsible for submitting legal notices for publication . Therefore, there is funding currently allocated in each department for this purpose.
1 Staff Report – Publication of Legal Notices
October 10, 2022
BACKGROUND
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to publish legal notices for City ordinances in the “Local Section” of the Long Beach Press-Telegram and the Bellflower Today.
Bellflower Today ceased to exist in the summer of 1995 and staff continued publishing in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. In 2006, the City Council re-evaluated publishing procedures and directed staff to continue publishing in the Long Beach Press-Telegram in the “Public Notices” section. Although the direction was specifically for legal requirements for ordinances, staff followed the same procedures for all notices that required legal advertising. This practice continued until 2016, when staff re-evaluated publishing procedures and discovered that the Bellflower Herald American had a judicial decree and was a newspaper of general circulation. As a result, staff began to publish all legal notices in the Bellflower Herald American.
DISCUSSION
Recently, the Los Cerritos Community News newspaper submitted a Public Records Act request and subsequently inquired why the City chose to publish in the Bellflower Herald American, noting that it too held a judicial decree and was a newspaper of general circulation for Los Angeles County. Upon further research by staff, its judicial decree was confirmed.
Government Code § 6041 requires official publications be made only in a “newspaper of general circulation” within the jurisdiction. If a particular jurisdiction does not have such a newspaper, the publication must be made “in a newspaper of general circulation published nearest thereto.” Regrettably, this phrase is not interpreted by any published cases nor is it defined by the statute itself. The relative Government Code sections also do not provide a system or criteria for ranking publications if multiple adjudicated publications exist, so the City must make the determination of which newspaper of general circulation to publish the City’s required legal notices.
Attached for your reference is a Comparison Table of Local Adjudicated Newspapers (Attachment 1) and the Judicial Decree and Media Kits for each publication. Please note that not all of the information requested from the Bellflower Herald American was received.

6 By Dorany PineDa anD Dennis J. FreemanContributing Writers Thousands of fans, friends, celebrities and loved ones are set to converge on Detroit next week to pay final tribute to America’s “Queen of Soul,” an iconic talent who defined a mu-sical era, inspired a generation of activists and blazed a trail of opportunity for dozens of R&B singers to follow.A public viewing for Aretha Franklin, who died Aug. 16 at age 76 of pancreatic cancer, will be held Aug. 28 and 29 in Detroit, and a private funeral service is planned for her family and friends Aug. 31, as is a memorial concert Aug. 30. “It’s going to be enormous. We have to remember who she was. ... There will be thousands of people showing up,” said Jean Wright from the Swanson Funeral Home, which is han-dling her funeral. U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who this week introduced legislation to post-humously award Franklin with a Congressional Gold Medal, saluted the cultural and artistic icon.“From listening to ‘Mary Don’t You Weep,’ to standing in the living room dancing to ‘Rock Steady’ over and over again, to hearing from the Queen herself how lucky I was to be young, gifted and black — Aretha’s songs were the soundtrack of my childhood,” Harris said. “Aretha was simply a legend.

LOS ANGELES — Darlene Love used to walk the pathways near the canals in Watts. What she saw appalled her. There were scores of people lined up along the canal off Central Avenue in South Los Angeles, living in tents, trying to survive. Getting food supplies and clothing was a blessing for those living there where survival was a day-to-day battle.Love, a longtime caterer, saw a need and decided to something about it. Thus, the yearly Feed Our Family event, which benefits those in need, began. On Nov. 10, Love and a host of volunteers put their heart, arms and legs into action during the ninth annual Feed Our Family event under a big tent in the same area of Central Avenue where she used to check in on people liv-ing out of their homes and in the streets. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters came out to share her support for what Love and her crew of volun- teers were doing.This is what servicing the community really means, Love said. “By me being a caterer, and I’m from Watts, so what I did was … basically we walked the canal in the back and I saw that there was a need for a lot of people that was not doing that good,” Love said. “So I decided to use what I know, and my field is in cooking, to come out and help them.”Love is not the only person to see the need. Several local vendors and business entities such as Three Amigos restaurant, Harrison-Ross Mortuary, Slau-son Learning Center and others helped make the event go off. They served a hot dinner of baked chicken, fried chicken, roasted chicken, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. Velvet Victorian used to be homeless. She knows the feeling of having to get up and fight for some of the basic necessities of life, including securing adequate hygiene products, taking a bath and getting food into her stomach. Victorian, who went to school with Love, said she came out to the event to support the cause that her friend is fighting. “I came out here to support my sister, Darlene,” Victorian said. “We went to elementary school, junior high and Fremont High. We came from a school where the Black Panthers came from. They were one of the first in the com-munity to do this kind of stuff. “Almost everybody that went to our junior high is of service,” Victorian added. “This is how we rebuild Watts. We need to get rid of some of the stigma that has to do with homelessness. I was homeless.”Karen Biles, a resident of Los Angeles, said what Love and her team are doing every year is great news for a largely impoverished neighborhood. “I’ve been knowing Darlene for three or four years,” Biles said. “She does this every year. The food is great. I think this is great because some of the people don’t get to eat food like this.” Commission meeting ends in shouts of ‘Shame!’
Black Lives Matter members disrupt
South L.A. meeting
By michael livingstonContributing Writer
EXPOSITION PARK — Po-lice Chief Michel Moore bolted out of the Roy A. Anderson Rec-reation Center Nov. 13 as shouts erupted from the audience.“Shame!” the people yelled as a Black Lives Matter banner was unfurled in the audience.The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners voted unanimously to send the pro-posed 2019-20 budget of $1.6 billion for the Los Angeles Po-lice Department to Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office for review.The proposed budget is a 10 percent increase from last year. It includes upgrades to the de-partment’s records management system, additional homeless initiatives and more funding for technological upgrades.It also includes requests of $3 million for body cameras and $8 million for dash cameras, as well as a replacement helicopter.Commission President Steve Soboroff tried to restore order, but was drowned out by the chanting. “I’m going to ask that there be no more disruption,” Soboroff said.“You’re the disruption,” one person replied.Minutes later, the meeting was adjourned more after cries of “Shame!” were heard from the audience.“I am prepared to vote to put the budget forward. I think it would be irresponsible not to,” said Commissioner Dale Bonner.Bonner admitted that the budget — 706 pages in total — was a Herculean task to read and understand in a short amount of time.“Digesting 700 something pages in three days before a meeting I think is a little bit…” Bonner began saying, but then the dissent from the audience grew.“Why don’t you delay the vote then?” one woman said. Before a vote was cast, com-munity members voiced their concerns with the budget and the department’s treatment of people of color in Los Angeles.“What’s happening right now with $1.6 billion is not in-tegrity nor is it morality, but it’s injustice,” said Rev. Nat Turner. “Y’all got to figure out how can this money be situated to feed and to build up and sustain a community.”Many residents voiced their concern about Operation La-ser, the department’s predictive policing system.

CARSON — Despite threats by the Me Too Movement and a local NAACP chapter protesting her appearance, U.S. Rep. Karen Bass intends to keep her commit-ment to speak Oct.25 at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Bass is scheduled to speak as part of the Dymally Distin-guished Speaker Series from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Leo F. Cain Library.The Dymally Distinguished Speaker Series is part of the uni-versity’s Mervyn M. Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute, which is led by professor Anthony Samad.Samad, who is co-founder of the Urban Issues Breakfast Fo-rum and was appointed by the university as executive direc-tor of the institute, has been ac-cused of sexual harassment in the workplace by women under his supervision. He was sued by two women in 2008 and 2012 while he was president of the 100 Black Men of Los Angeles.Me Too, the movement cre-ated by Tarana Burke in 2006, and which gained momentum last year with accusations of sex-ual misconduct by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and others, has becoming a lightning rod when it comes to women’s issues.Bass has stood with women against sexual harassment and assault and has been a staunch supporter of women’s rights.
Although Bass could not be reached for comment for this story, a source reported she was troubled by the sudden contro-versy but that she intended to speak at the event.Bass was an outspoken critic of new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his con-firmation process.In a statement dated July 9, she called Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault by a woman he knew more than 30 years ago, an “absolutely disas-trous nominee,” adding that his confirmation would threaten women’s reproductive rights. A statement sent under the signatures of Paulette Simpson Gipson, president of the Comp-ton NAACP, and Vincent L. Burr, Despite NAACP protests, Bass declines to cancel speech

among several targets
of potential explosives
By Dorany PineDaContributing WriterLOS ANGELES — U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters un-equivocally condemned “any and all acts of violence and terror” Oct. 24 as federal officials continued to inves-tigate a string of potentially explosive packages found in various locations in the Eastern United States. Waters, D-Los Angeles, was informed by U.S. Capitol Police that her Washington, D.C. office was targeted with a suspicious package that was referred to the FBI. “I am appreciative of the law enforce- ment entities who intercepted
the package and are investigat-
ing this matter,” she said in a statement. The suspicious package addressed to Waters was found at a congressional mail-sorting center in the U.S. Capital, ac-cording to media reports from Washington, D.C., and was immediately intercepted. The package was sent to an FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, for examination, reported ABC 7. Later Oct. 24, officials at a U.S. Postal Service facility in South Los Angeles reported a suspicious item addressed to Waters at her district office on

were found at different loca-tions targeting former Secre-tary of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, former CIA chief John Bren-nan, liberal billionaire George Soros, former Attorney General Eric Holder, CNN’s New York office and others. The Los Angeles Police Department, which was among numerous law enforcement organizations involved in the bomb threat investigations, released a statement in re-sponse saying, “We are aware of the suspicious packages sent
to several locations on the East
Coast. Right now, there is no nexus to Los Angeles. How-ever, we are monitoring the situation and communicating with our federal and local law enforcement partners.”In El Segundo, the new Los Angeles Times’ building was briefly and partially evacuated U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters was one of several politicians targeted by bomb scares Oct. 24. One suspicious package addressed to her was found in the congres-sional mail-sorting center in Washington and another suspicious package was found at a South Los Angeles postal facility addressed to her district office.

‘I condemn all acts of terror’: Waters
See WATERS, Page 10
Trump rhetoric
inspiring violence,
L.A. mayor says
By Dennis J. FreeManContributing Writer
LOS ANGELES — Mayor Eric Garcetti said Oct. 24 that violent threats have become “a regular part of business the last five years.” Speaking at an informal press briefing after federal au-thorities announced that a string of potentially explosive pack-ages had been found in various locations in the eastern United States mailed to several politi-cians, including former Presi-dent Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, Garcetti said: “We get threats all the time.”“It’s definitely a toxic en-vironment, and one in which people’s ability to anonymous-ly threaten violence is probably greater than it’s ever been,” he added. “We take physical threats or virtual threats very seriously, but I trust the LAPD with that. And not just with me, but with other elected officials and nota-ble people that live here in the city.’’“This is the violence of this moment politically,” Garcetti added. “We used to resolve our disputes in a civil manner. Now we are not only uncivil, we have a president who rallies people like a blood sport for going after a journalist physically.”During an earlier session with members of the black press, Garcetti was equally forthcoming about issues facing Los Angeles. No subject was left off the table in a wide-ranging round-table discussion Oct. 18 about issues concerning and affecting African Americans living in the city. The discussion was an open forum for the members of the black press to informally sit down with Garcetti and discuss issues that impact the city’s black residents. Garcetti, with his gracious style, navigated the conversation with aplomb.Among the many topics Garcetti was asked about and tackled included how the city is working to address its homeless issue, particularly when it comes to African Americans. African Americans disproportionately make up the biggest number of those who are homeless in Los Angeles County, with a dramat-ic increase in numbers on Skid Row. “We’re looking at strate-gies that are literally about in-come assistance,” Garcetti said. “Some people are against it, philosophically; I’m not.”According to the latest num-bers documented by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), there are more than 39,000 people who are unsheltered in Los Angeles County, 22,000 of those indi-viduals living in the city of Los Angeles. LAHSA’s 2018 Great-er Los Angeles Homeless Count details that there are more than Mayor Eric Garcetti responds to questions about bomb scares to politi-cians during an informal press briefing Oct. 24.
