Trademark Registration for Discover San Fernando".

The City of San Fernando launched Discover San Fernando in September 2025 and plans to use it for marketing and promotional materials to showcase local businesses, events, and community assets. To protect the this phrase and ensure its exclusive association with the City, it is recommended that the City pursue formal trademark registration. Securing the trademark will present unauthorized use by outside entities, preserve the City's brand identity, and strengthen our ongoing efforts to promote economic development and community pride under a unified and recognizable banner.

It is recommended that the City Council discuss and approve initiating the process to trademark the name of "Discover San Fernando," and direct staff to take the necessary steps to file for trademark protection on behalf of the City.

Consideration of Support for the Request to Honor Charles White, 1979 Heisman Trophy Winner and San Fernando High School Alumnus
The family of Charles White, a 1979 Heisman Trophy winner and proud alumnus of San Fernando High School, has submitted a request seeking recognition for his athletic achievements and inspirational legacy. Mr. White, a native of the San Fernando Valley, remains a symbol of perseverance, commitment, and excellence whose story continues to inspire generations in the communities of San Fernando, Pacoima, and beyond.

The request, submitted by Dr. Roosevelt White and James Gorden on behalf of the White family, asks that Charles White’s name be added alongside Kevin Williams’ name on the gymnasium building and add his name to the football field at San Fernando High School. The family believes this tribute would serve as a lasting acknowledgment of his accomplishments, from his beginnings as a San Fernando High School athlete to his collegiate career at the University of Southern California and professional career in the National Football League.

While decisions regarding school naming rest with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the family is seeking the City’s support and formal acknowledgment of Charles White’s contributions to the San Fernando community and his lasting impact as a role model for current and future students.

It is recommended that the City Council discuss and consider issuing a formal letter of support for the White family’s request to recognize Charles White by placing the name on the wall of the gymnasium and adding his name to the San Fernando High School football field in his honor, and direct staff to prepare and transmit such correspondence to the appropriate representatives of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

White murió el miércoles 11 de enero de 2023. Tenía 64 años. USC anunció la muerte de White , quien sigue siendo el líder en carreras de carrera de los Trojans con 6,245 yardas. El veterano de nueve años de la NFL murió de cáncer, dijo la escuela. (Foto AP, Archivo) El ganador del Trofeo Heisman y miembro del Salón de la Fama, Charles White, de 64 años, falleció de cáncer de esófago el 11 de enero.

Criado en el noreste del Valle de San Fernando, dejó a la comunidad con un orgulloso legado futbolístico incomparable.

El ascenso de White a la prominencia pública comenzó como Tigre en la Escuela Preparatoria San Fernando, donde era un duro corredor conocido como la “estrella entre las estrellas” en el equipo de fútbol de la escuela. Serían los años dorados del equipo, que incluyeron a White November 10, 2025 Special & Adjourned Regular CC Mtg Page 250 of 266 junto con Kevin Williams y Malcolm Moore que ganaron campeonatos consecutivos de CIF Los Angeles City en 1974 y 1975, y, en el último año, White con sus dos compañeros de equipo fueron nombrados LA Jugadores del Año de la Sección Ciudad. Antes de la temporada de 1975, el equipo de White ocupaba el puesto número 1 en el país. Su camiseta de fútbol de la escuela preparatoria , # 12, se retiró oficialmente en 2015.

White era un atleta extremadamente talentoso y también fue una estrella en el equipo de atletismo de la escuela preparatoria San Fernando, ganando el evento de obstáculos bajos de 330 yardas en el CIF California State Meet en 1976 venciendo al futuro medallista de oro olímpico de atletismo Andre Phillips.

Después de la escuela preparatoria , White jugó para los Trojans en la USC, se convirtió en dos veces All-American, lo que llevó a su equipo a un campeonato nacional de 1978 y durante su último año en 1979 fue considerado el jugador más destacado en el fútbol universitario del país, ganando un trofeo Heisman. El legendario corredor de cola fue el tercero de los ocho ganadores del Heisman de la USC. Un dos veces AllAmerican unánime y un récord de la NCAA. Todavía es el líder de carreras de los Trojans con 5,245 yardas.

Fue incluido en 1996 en el Salón de la Fama del fútbol americano universitario.

White también fue nombrado el jugador más valioso del Rose Bowl en 1979 y 1980.

White fue la selección número 27 en el draft de la NFL de 1980, jugando nueve años para los Cleveland Browns y Los Angeles Rams.

Después de jubilarse, entrenó a los corredores de la USC de 1993 a 1997 y luego ocupó puestos administrativos en el departamento de atletismo de Trojan.

White era parte de una familia de hermanos, primos y sobrinos que tenían una aptitud excepcional para el fútbol. Nueve miembros, incluido White, practicaron el deporte y fueron a la universidad.

Dos de esos parientes, Russell White, el sobrino de Charles, y Jason Anderson, también jugaron en la NFL. Cinco miembros de la familia, incluido White, asistieron a la escuela preparatoria San Fernando.

November 10, 2025 Special & Adjourned Regular CC Mtg Page 251 of 266 “La mayoría de nosotros crecimos en los antiguos proyectos de Vivienda Van Nuys en Pacoima”, dijo James Gordon, un pariente de White, en una entrevista previa con el San Fernando Valley Sun/el Sol. “Todos vimos la universidad, y el fútbol americano profesional, como una salida. Mi madre no tenía dinero para enviarnos a la universidad, y lo supimos a una edad temprana. Puedo decir que desde el quinto grado supe que el deporte era mi manera de llegar a la universidad”.
“Dios mío… solo puedes darle ese [crédito] a nuestros padres y abuelos”, dijo Russell. “Ser capaz de producir todo ese talento principalmente a partir de un acervo genético, y todos estamos vinculados”.

Gordon le dijo al San Fernando Valley Sun/el Sol cómo White guardaba su trofeo Heisman en la casa de su abuela, Bertha Leggett, quien vivía en la Ciudad de San Fernando. Leggett tenía “una política de puertas abiertas” acerca de permitir que los niños del vecindario vinieran a ver el trofeo.
“[La idea de que alguien lo robara] nunca pasó por la mente de mi abuela”, dijo Gordon. “Porque había una cosa de ‘respeto’ por Charles. Todo el mundo sabía dónde había vivido Charles cuando vivía en San Fernando. Todo el mundo sabía que iba a la preparatoria San Fernando.
“Todos los niños locales que jugaban al fútbol sabían que había ganado el Heisman, así que cuando se corrió la voz en el vecindario November 10, 2025 Special & Adjourned Regular CC Mtg Page 252 of 266 de que había terminado en la casa de mi abuela, fue como una puerta giratoria. Ella nunca se rechazó a nadie.”
White también luchó con una adicción a la cocaína y otros problemas fuera del campo. En 2008, tuvo que vender su trofeo Heisman para saldar deudas tributarias.
“Venimos de orígenes humildes”, dijo Gordon. “Y seré sincero y honesto, eso realmente no cambió cuando Charles lo hizo. Firmó un contrato profesional de cinco años por $2.6 millones; no parece mucho hoy, pero en 1980, era mucho”.

En sus últimos años, a White le diagnosticaron demencia relacionada con una lesión cerebral traumática. Se informó que todavía estaba consciente y sabía que “hizo algo bueno, algo grandioso, algo fantástico para la USC”. Vivió en una unidad de cuidado de la memoria en un centro de vida asistida del Condado de Orange hasta su fallecimiento.

A White le sobreviven su exesposa, Judianne White-Basch, sus cinco hijos y una nieta.

Accept Donation of Eight Air Purifiers through Veterans Support Initiative and Alicia Broadous Duncan Multi-Purpose Senior Center
The City of San Fernando has been offered a generous donation of eight air purifiers from the Veterans Support Initiative (VSI), in collaboration with the Alicia Broadous-Duncan Multipurpose Senior Center.

This thoughtful contribution aims to enhance the health and well-being of San Fernando residents by improving indoor air quality in their homes. Air purifiers play a vital role in removing airborne particles such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores — common triggers for asthma, allergies, and other respiratory conditions.

Through this donation, the Veteran Support Initiative and the Alicia Broadous-Duncan Multipurpose Center aim to provide comfort, relief, and cleaner air for those who need it most, reinforcing our shared commitment to creating a healthier and more supportive environment for all community members.

It is recommended that the City Council discuss and formally accept the donation of eight air purifiers, authorize staff to coordinate with the Resource Center to determine resident eligibility, and direct that the distribution be managed in partnership with Ms. Gail Wilson. ✔

Dear Mary and Kanika,
I trust that you both are doing well. Here is the context for our donation of eight air purifiers on Friday afternoon.

Veterans Support Initiative and the Alicia Broadous Duncan Multipurpose Senior Center are honored to donate air purifiers to support the health and well-being of residents in the City of San Fernando. These purifiers help remove airborne irritants such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores -- common triggers for asthma and other respiratory conditions. We hope that this contribution provides comfort, relief, and improved air quality for community members who need it most.

Thank you.

Ms. Gail Wilson
Executive Director
