That lot, which sheand her husband, Maxwell,opted not to purchase becausethe owner “wanted half asmuch for that lot as we paid forthis house,” eventually becamethe home of actress LorettaYoung, whose kitchen wallpa-per was so becoming that Vale-da arranged to have the samefor her own kitchen.
Born in 1927 in Redlands,Valeda, whose career in nurs-

Lerman & Son: 100 Years OfOrthotics And Prosthetics
By Matt LopezJust how does a business
thrive in Beverly Hills for morethan 60 years?
Don’t ask Max Lerman,owner of Lerman and Son at8710 Wilshire Blvd., and oneof the most innovative nameson Orthotic and Prostheticservices.
“I wonder that myself allthe time,” Lerman said, laugh-ing.
The truth is, there really is-n’t a secret to Lerman andSon’s success. The business has
been a pioneer in the industrysince it began in 1915.
“We provide very special-ized services in a number ofarea that other companies just

By Victoria TalbotJoining cities across the state,
Beverly Hills will be imposing wa-ter rate hikes, penalty surchargesand an appeals process as the Cityworks to meet conservation targetsand manage revenue losses fromconservation and higher costs forwater.
Tasked with cutting usage by30-percent, the Department ofPublic Works estimates that rev-enue loss due to conservation ef-forts will be almost $6 million inFY 2015-16.
Figures are estimated with 50-percent of customers achieving a
30-percent reduction, 25-percentachieving a 15-percent reduction,and 25-percent who will not re-duce water use at all; the resultsaverage 18.8-percent decrease anda revenue shortfall of 24.9-percent.
In addition, the City has au-thorized a Conservation Coordina-tor position and a Water ResourcesManager position with an operat-ing cost increase of just over $1million.
The City will implement tworate-increases, with the first 5-per-cent increase in October and the

second in December. In February, a new tier structure
will also be implemented that is expect-ed to cover the total system costs forproviding water.
Customers can expect the City tomail out notices of the first increase toall water customers July 6.
Like other California cities, BeverlyHills will also be adopting a penaltysurcharge to cover increased costs,through penalties to the City, for supply-ing water.
If the City fails to meet State conser-vation goals, regulators may require theCity to accelerate the Water EnterprisePlan, a 10-year conservation strategy.The cost for not meeting the 30-percentcut could add $1,763,708 to the Citytab.
In addition, the State Water Re-source Board is authorized to fine theCity up to $10,000 per day for notmeeting the conservation target, poten-tially $1 million.
Finally, the Metropolitan Water Dis-trict (MWD) requires every member dis-trict to reduce consumption if water by15-percent starting July 1.
Water purchased in excess of thereduction target will be assessed at$2,960 per acre-foot.
The City would need to reduceconsumption by 12-percent to avoidpaying MWD Tier 2 rates for 1,290acre-feet, a cost of $3,821,897.
To cover those costs, consumerswho cut less than 12-percent (88-per-cent of the base rate, vs. the target 70-percent), will pay an additional 3.08times the base rate.
For those conserving more than 12-
percent but less than 30-percent themultiplier is 1.59 times the base rate.
For the penalty surcharge, the base-line is year 2013.
Customers can keep track of theirwater use on the City’s website. To usethe City’s watertracker software, visitwww.beverlyhills.org
The City will begin public outreachand education immediately and agrace period will begin with the nextbilling cycle for August/September.
The City recognizes that many resi-dents began to conserve some time agoand to cut a further 30-percent could bevery difficult.
For this and other extenuating cir-cumstances, the City adopted a resolu-tion to establish an appeals procedureand appeals officer.
In addition, Beverly Hills offersgenerously enhanced rebates for waterefficient irrigation, appliances, andplumbing and turf replacement to aid inconservation.
In addition, Beverly Hills offerssubsidies for the Green Garden Group(G2) consultants’ on-site visits to dis-cuss drought resistant landscaping op-tions. Normally $225 for a consulta-tion, the City pays $175. The customerpays $50 for the 90-minute on-site con-sultation.
Statistics released Wednesday bythe State Water Board show that TheState of California has seen an overalldrop in usage of 28.9–percent in May,compared to May 2013.
The City of Beverly Hills has re-duced water use by 17-percent in May,compared to May 2013.

By Victoria TalbotThe Design Review Commission
denied a permit request by Shelly Ster-ling to allow modifications to thefaçade of the residence at 607 Alta Dri-ve at Thursday’s meeting.
Sterling sought a permit “to legal-ize modifications that had been donewithout a permit,” said Ryan Gohlich,Assistant Director of Community De-velopment.
“Anyone caught doing work with-out a permit and prior approval can ei-ther be given the permit or be made torestore the structure to pre-modifica-tion condition.”
Modifications included molding onthe doors and windows, balcony rail-ings and window replacements thatGohlich called “fairly significant to thehouse’s appearance. The Commissionwas not satisfied.”
Next-door neighbor Nomi Castle,an attorney with Castle & Associates,confirmed that at the conclusion of themeeting Thursday she was threatenedby Sterling. A witness also confirmedthat Sterling threatened Castle.
The exact nature of the threat wasnot confirmed.
Castle had submitted a June 23 let-ter to the Commission detailing her ob-jections to the unpermitted renova-tions.
“The primary basis for my objec-tion to allow the changes made by theproperty owners to remain is that theentire façade of the property is incom-patible with other houses on the 600block of Alta Drive and is unsightly…
The work was done in a haphazardmanner by workers who were often un-supervised,” said the letter.
In her letter, Castle states thatworkers were “tying ropes to my land-scaping.”
“I respectfully ask that the Com-mission deny any request to allow themodifications to the facade at 607North Alta to remain ands that the Ster-ling Family Trust be required to restorethe property to an acceptable condi-tion.”
The home was built by Master Ar-chitect J.H. Hillock. A review (triggeredby permit applications) by the CulturalHeritage Commission did not seeklandmark status for the property.
At that commission hearing, Ster-ling stated that the home was pur-chased as a rental property.
The design modifications proposedto the front yard planters “are not inkeeping with the original Spanish de-sign,” said a staff recommendation.“The precast surround on the portecochere is too large and heavy for theexisting wall area of the arch of theopening.”
This project was continued to theAugust meeting and the applicant wasdirected to come back with modifica-tions not “as presented,” but “in a purearchitectural style.”
“The work did not conform toSpanish style and they needed to re-work it to be more in keeping with thedesign,” he said. The project applicantis Studio by Design.

By Victoria TalbotIn a City that already has 15 red
light cameras, motorists may wish toavoid even passing through altogetherwith the addition of two more red lightcameras, this time at Olympic Boule-vard and Beverly Drive.
The City plans to add the two addi-tional photo cameras to its five-yearcontract with Xerox State and Local So-lutions Inc. at an additional cost of$88,656 each. That will bring the totalcost for all the cameras to an estimated
$727,536 annually.Fines are about $500 for each vio-
lation and the City receives $111 per ci-tation. Remaining funds are divided be-tween the State of California, L.A.County and the L.A. County SuperiorCourts. The City issued 16,800 photored light citations in 2013.
“The department believes that pho-to red light enforcement increases pub-lic safety by causing drivers to alter theirdriving habits,” said Lt. Mike Foxen,BHPD Traffic Bureau Commander.

By Laura ColemanDespite hiring executive search firm
Hazard, Young & Attea in February tofind a new principal for Beverly HillsHigh School, it’s unlikely that there willactually be one in place when schoolstarts up again next month on Aug. 11.
At Tuesday night’s Board of Educa-tion meeting, the divided board voted 2-3 against hiring Ena LaVan to take overthe role previously held by CarterPaysinger. Board VP Howard Goldsteinand Boardmember Noah Margo voted tohire LaVan, whose experience as an ed-ucator was largely in the charter schoolrealm.
Board President Brian Goldberg,who was among one of two boardmem-bers on the interview committee to se-lect the high school principal, said he re-tracted his support after a closed sessiondiscussion brought to light his col-leagues’ concerns.
“I think our only option may be to
go with a retired interim principal,” hesaid. “I have to err on the side of cau-tion. Having the wrong person can bevery detrimental.”
Goldberg surmised that it was un-likely that the district would be able tolocate an eligible candidate that wouldbe a good match so close to the start ofschool. He therefore surmised that thebest solution would likely be to entice aretired principal to BHHS.
The school district is also still with-out a principal at Hawthorne after thecandidate selected ended up withdraw-ing her candidacy.
In addition, at Tuesday’s meeting theboard also voted 2-3 against hiring thenew chief of facilities candidate recom-mended by the interview committee,with Margo and Goldstein once againvoting yes to support the hiring of a newemployee backed by the superintendent.
Clearly, the district's executivesearch firm has its work cut out for it.

Residents Discuss Future Of SoutheastBeverly Hills At Community MeetingBy Matt Lopez
Imagine this: The Purple Line Exten-sion has been completed and BeverlyHills now has subway tunnels runningthrough the City.
That was the vision Mayor JulianGold asked residents to imagine as heinstructed them to close their eyes onWednesday night at a “Southeast in Mo-tion” community meeting at La CienegaPark.
“Imagine the subway is done, theroad is paved, it’s the rebirth of a newpart of town,” Gold said. “Tonight’s ex-ercise is, what do you want it to looklike when it’s done?”
The future of Southeast BeverlyHills was the topic of discussion foraround 20 residents who gatheredWednesday night to imagine that areaof the City in the future, especially as itpertains to the impending arrival ofMetro’s La Cienega Station at the north-east corner of La Cienega and Wilshire.
The gathering included maps of thearea, posterboards displaying potentialfuture plans and ideas for the area thathave been discussed by the SoutheastTask Force. There were also blank slatesfor residents to leave their own com-ments.
Alexander Amir Kashfi, who recent-ly graduated from Beverly Hills HighSchool, and his friends Aaron Boudaieand Daniel Newman attended themeeting. All three were eager for sub-way transportation in Beverly Hills, butKashfi said he’s got concerns about
what kind of development will surroundthe subway.
“I’ve heard people talking about anew big development, with shopping,restaurants, a Starbucks, stuff like that,”said Kashfi, who added that he likes thecurrent Robertson Boulevard. “I reallydon’t want that. I don’t want it to be-come a destination area.”
Russ Levi, a longtime resident whohas been active in many civic and polit-ical endeavors, had a bullet point list ofchanges he wants to see made. He not-ed that he had seen a report many yearsago that 8-1/2-percent of Beverly Hillsresidents live under the poverty line andsaid more mixed-use buildings and af-fordable housing are needed in theSoutheast.
Levi also said he wants to see theCity keep the medical use overlay zonewhere it is. “Cedars has taken all thespace,” Levi said, adding that the Cityneeded “less doctor’s offices” in thearea. Levi, along with fellow residentsSherry and Bob Tedeschi, also said theywanted to see a clear understand of theparking situation around the La CienegaStation.
“How are we going to get there?”Levi questioned. “We can’t have ourfriends and relatives dropping us off allthe time.”
Although there is no specific time-line on when a revamp of the southeastwould start, Wednesday’s meeting wasmore geared toward accumulating ideasand building consensus.

Bel-Air Alliance Brazenly VotesDirectors Not Listed On ProxyBy Matt Lopez
In an apparent brazen act oflocal governance, the Bel-AirAssociation this week electedmembers to its Board of Direc-tors who were not listed on thepreviously distributed votingproxy.
The vote went down at theannual BAA meeting on Tues-day, which sources say wassparsely attended.
“They say they still have600 members, but 50 peopleshowed up,” said one sourcewho spoke to The Courier.“That’s not a quorum in any-body’s world.”
Concerns in the Bel-Aircommunity arose due to incon-sistencies in the mailed proxyand the ballot that was distrib-uted at the meeting. Nine newnames that were not listed onthe mailed proxy, which repre-sented a majority of the totaloverall votes, were subsequentlylisted as elected board directorson a Bel-Air eblast that followedthe meeting.
Ameen Ayoub, BeatriceKahn Boykoff, Carol Bennett,Thomas Edwards, Marvin Elkin,David Hansen, Bruce Kuyper,Pat O’Brien and ElizabethSwernik were named as Boardof Directors, but were not on theproxy.
“At best, it’s shoddy gover-nance and at worst vote-riggingand complete dishonesty.” saidThe Courier’s President/ Publish-er Marcia Hobbs, a boardmem-ber of the Bel-Air HomeownersAlliance, the rival organizationthat has been a stalwart in theBel-Air community supportingresidents against out-of-controlconstruction projects.
BAA Board Directors canserve two or three year terms,but according to Form 990’spublicly available, Elkin was theonly one of the nine listed as aBAA director on its 2012, 2013and 2014 Form 990 filings.
Boykoff is also known tohave been a previous directorand BAA president, but she wasnot listed on any of the Form990’s, nor were any of the otherseven directors that were elect-ed, but not listed on the proxy.
“The whole thing is dis-graceful,” BAHOA President/CEO Fred Rosen said. “They’rehiding.”
“The BAA held its 73rd An-nual Meeting on June 30, at theCentury Plaza Hotel. The BAAheld an official election and theBy-Laws and Notice of themeeting were complied with,”said BAA President Ron Hudson
Rosen said sources at themeeting told him BAA Board-member Chris Hameetman gavethe BAA credit at the meeting foran Interim Control Ordinance(ICO) that passed in Marchaimed at stopping the construc-tion of mansion-like homes inthe area. In fact, both he andBAA President Ron Hudsonmade public comments at theFeb. 24 Planning and Land UseManagement meeting in Los An-geles City Hall, that they op-posed the ICO. The majority ofspeakers supported it and there-fore it went to the City Councilfor a vote in March. BAHOA haschampioned the ICO.
“(Chris) has no integrity andis a liar,” Rosen said. “The com-munity deserves a lot better thansomeone like him representingthem.”

Beverly Hills Schools Latest Budget Runs RedBy Laura Coleman
On Tuesday, the Board ofEducation voted 4-1 to approvethe 2015-16 Adopted Budget,which reflects a projected neg-ative ending fund balance inthree years.
Although none of themembers were pleased withthe coming school year’s cur-rent budget, Board PresidentBrian Goldberg was the onlyone to vote against it.
“It boggles the mind how
we’re expected to say, yeah,I’m okay,” Boardmember NoahMargo lamented. “I want to seeways out of this negative fundbalance.”
The Fair Share Reductionfor Community Funded Dis-tricts represents a loss of ap-proximately $2.9 million forthe district. The Adopted Bud-get totals a net decrease in thefund balance by approximately$2.8 million, resulting in afund balance of $597,861 for
this year. The district is re-quired to maintain a 3 percentreserve, which is approximate-ly $2 million of its anticipatedtotal general fund revenue ofaround $62 million.
The district has secured aTax Revenue Anticipation Note(TRAN) in the amount of $9.5million to cover projected cashshort falls. The board is expect-ed to discuss ways to addressits budget deficit, which mayinclude staff reductions.

Depression era. After her fatherleft when she was 6 years old,Valeda moved with her motherand older sister into her grand-parents’ house. Her grandpar-ents, who owned and operateda series of four restaurants inRedlands, were ever-generous:“During the Depression, any-body who came in and washungry, they would feed them,”Valeda recalled. They simplytold the hungry diners to sendmoney when they had it - aboutfour eventually did.
Before Valeda's father leftthe family, he gave her a chowchow, which she brought every-where with her until the dogdied when she was 13. She re-called how her adorable, fear-less chow chow would racethrough her grandparents’ cabinin the San Bernardino Moun-tains ahead of everyone insearch of all the mice that hadentered, and were now in hid-ing, during the family’s absence.
After high school, Valedaenrolled in USC’s School ofNursing, where throughout thewar, she worked as a cadetnurse in operating rooms, beforeeventually going into neuro-surgery after graduating in 1948.
“Since I was 3 years old Iwanted to be a nurse,” she said.“That’s what I wanted to be andI never changed my mind.”
One day in 1946, whileworking on the neurologicalfloor, she noticed a handsomedoctor she’d never seen before:“I said, 'Who’s that one?’” sherecalled asking a colleague. Itwas Dr. Maxwell Andler, who,as it turned out, had been alongtime prisoner of war and asurvivor of the Bataan DeathMarch. At the time, Valeda onlyknew that he was a looker andthe hospital’s chief of Neuro-surgery.
She had her first interactionwith Dr. Andler when she soldhim a box of donuts–part of afundraising project for her soph-omore class. It was just beforeshe was set to start her 3 to11:30 p.m. shift on the neurolo-gy floor, which Dr. Andler wasin charge of. It was Valeda’s firsttime working on that rotationand she was surprised to see Dr.Andler show up because sheknew he was supposed to be off.However, being the conscien-tious medical practitioner, Dr.Andler spent that evening train-ing Valeda. After the shift wasover, he volunteered to walk herhome through the tunnels to thenurses residences.
“There was a rule that wewere never alone since it wasdangerous,” she said. Once theyarrived, Dr. Andler made hisoverture to turn the walk into adate. “He said: ‘I’ll let you takeme out and buy me a hamburg-er because I’m hungry.’ I didn’thave any money so he boughtthe hamburger. We started dat-ing after that.”
After their marriage in1950, Valeda took a traditionalrole and stopped working as anurse. However, she was hesi-tant to leave the field after all thework she had done and so shebegan volunteering for the RedCross, which at the time operat-
ed out of a little cottage onUCLA. She is still a volunteer to-day for the Red Cross, and hasbeen honored many times over.From USC, Dr. Andler moved onto become chief at Mount SinaiHospitals, later working with thechief at Cedars of Lebanon toform Cedars-Sinai Medical Cen-ter in 1961.
Dr. Andler, for his part, wasrecognized as one of the topneurosurgeons of his time. Hewas particularly adept at diag-nosis in a time before MRIs di-minished the guesswork consid-erably. Before the birth of theirchildren, Jolie, Maxwell III, andSteven, Valeda often traveledwith her husband.
“A couple of times he hadto do surgery and I would scrubin for him,” she recalled. “Hewas the one that everybodycalled.”
Indeed, when BobbyKennedy was shot at the Ambas-sador Hotel in 1968, it was Dr.Andler who was called. Aframed letter from EthelKennedy thanking Dr. Andlerstill hangs on the wall in herlongtime home.
Although her husband treat-ed many celebrities, he treatedeveryone with the same atten-tion and confidentiality, shesaid.
“Being a doctor was reallyan important thing then,” Valeda
recalled of the now bygone timewhere doctors were motivatedby their desire to care for pa-tients and not constricted by theneeds of insurance companies.“The medical field has changedso much,” she added. “Whenhe was in practice, he chargedpeople his regular fee and if theycouldn’t pay it, that was okay.Doctors didn’t charge a lot ofmoney in those days...so doc-tors' wives were usually not verywealthy people.”
Despite Dr. Andler’s adviceto his three children to avoid be-coming a doctor, due to theproblem of insurance compa-nies, one of their five grandchil-dren is today a pediatrician inSan Francisco. Valeda still re-calls how special it was to raisetheir children in Beverly Hills.All three of her children went toEl Rodeo, where she was PTApresident, and then went on tograduate from Beverly HillsHigh School.
“It was a small town,” shesaid. “I knew a lot of people.”
She recalled her daughterparticipating in the May Day pa-rade as a kindergartner and allthe kids decorated like princesand princesses.
“The mothers picked flow-ers from the gardens and wovethem into garlands,” she said.
And when her daughter wasin the second grade, Valeda
served as Scout leader, takingher two sons along to all the out-tings. “Both my boys said theywere girl scouts.”
One time, the Brownies didan overnight camp-out on thelawn behind Greystone man-sion, shortly after the City ac-quired the property. She recalledhow the live-in Beverly Hills po-liceman caretaker came andtalked about police matters, traf-fic and safety, and the history ofthe mansion.
“He was terrific and thegirls were all smitten with thehandsome policeman,” she re-called.
After 45 years of marriage,Dr. Andler died 19 years ago.Valeda still wears the diamondring he gave her when they gotmarried. She says that the ringwon’t come off, and truly, liketheir love, that token is an eter-nal part of their story.
In fact, the diamond on herfinger was made from a stick pinthat once belonged to Dr. An-dler’s father. After his fatherdied–just before he wasborn–his mother had taken thediamond and made it into a ringwith the intention of one daygiving it to her son to give to hisbride. Dr. Andler's mother al-most gave the ring away threeyears after he disappeared, with-out a word as to his where-abouts or if he was still alive.
After Dr. Andler died in1996, Valeda found a suitcasefull of letters that her husbandhad written, mostly to his moth-er, while he was a prisoner inthe Philippines and Japan. In2005, Valeda published thoseletters in an incredibly movingbook, Letters Home: A Reflec-tion Of A Man’s Survival. Dr. An-dler was later awarded a BronzeStar for his efforts in keepingothers alive while in the prisoncamps.
“He was really great aboutkeeping people alive by gettingfood for them,” Valeda said. Onetime, when the POW campswere being inspected, he wastasked to orchestrate a “realAmerican meal” to show thatthe prisoners were well-fed. Dr.Andler demanded excessive in-gredients for bread and theroasting of an entire caribou; thevisitors received very smallsandwiches of roast before,while the prisoners received thebulk of the food thanks to Dr.Andler’s stealthy maneuvering.Generally, there was frightening-ly little to eat inside the camps.
These days, Valeda still vol-unteers one day a week atCedars-Sinai, in addition to theRed Cross. She also plays tennisfrequently.
“Beverly Hills is home,” shesaid. “I’ve lived here for solong.”

Lerman & Son’s roots date back to1915 as a shoe manufacturing companybefore Max’s father Jacob, who startedthe business, had to move the family outof Berlin during Nazi occupation. TheLermans lived in Shanghai, China for 10years, becoming a full-service Orthoticand Prosthetics facility before openingtheir first Los Angeles office near theoriginal Cedars of Lebanon hospital in1948.
Max says the business moved into
Beverly Hills in 1955, primarily becauseof the trend of physicians moving toWest L.A.
“This business is very dependent onreferrals,” said Max, whose businesscounts Cedars-Sinai and Children’s Hos-pital Los Angeles among many who referclients to Lerman & Son.
A leader in the field of Orthotics andProsthetics, Max studied at UCLA,where he later became a teacher. Hisnephew Jack, son Larry and daughterDenise Leiter have all joined him in thefamily business.

Employees indicatedstrongly they did not feel hav-ing sufficient opportunities todevelop their skills to competefor promotions to special as-signments, nor do they feelthere is a clear path to promo-tion or disciplinary procedures.
Management Partners sug-gested that BHPD initiate a re-view of the promotional prac-tices with employee involve-ment, to create clear, measura-ble standards to be achievedwith written competencies andassociated factors in order to
be considered for promotion.Rivetti replaces Chief
David Snowden, who retiredJune 13. Rivetti will be paid amonthly salary of $20,342 - thesame monthly amount Snow-den was paid in 2014.
His retirement came short-ly after it became publicknowledge that he was servingas a paid consultant to a privatesecurity firm employed by theBeverly Hills Unified SchoolDistrict (BHUSD).
The Brady rule establishesthat police officers have a dutyto disclose exculpatory evi-dence to a defendant throughthe prosecutor, who is requiredto notify defendants and theirattorneys if a law enforcement
official involved in their casehas a sustained record for lyingin an official capacity.
For Rivetti, a seasoned vet-eran from the district attorney’soffice who served to developpolices and protocols for po-lice departments; he also assist-ed police departments in Bradyprocess appeals.
Last November, The Couri-er reported on the outcome of adisciplinary appeal by Sgt.Richard Ceja in which at leastthree officers were, in the hear-ing officer’s opinion, “untruth-ful,” “guilty of lies of omission,”and “lacking in credibility.”
Ceja was wrongfully firedon the strength of their testimo-ny. Subsequently, upon win-ning his appeal, he was rein-stated.
The City was directed toreinstate Ceja with reimburse-ment for lost income and ben-efits, and to “purge recordspertaining to the unproven al-legations . . . and dishonestyin responding to those allega-tions.”
During that time Ceja andhis family suffered enormousfinancial and emotionalstrain.
All three officers, underChief Snowden, have beenpromoted or given special as-signments with bonuses sincethe arbitration.
The Brady rule has notbeen investigated with re-gards to these officers.
Ironically, this week Cejaagreed to retirement from theBHPD.

Providence Tarzana, CHLAPartner To Enhance Care InSan Fernando Valley Region
Children in the San Fernando Valley now haveaccess to an enhanced level of pediatric care,under the terms of an agreement betweenProvidence Tarzana Medical Center and Children’sHospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and its physicians.
Beginning Wednesday, CHLA’s specialists willstaff Providence Tarzana’s Pediatrics Departmentinpatient unit as well as its pediatric and neonatalintensive care units—known as the PICU andNICU. Staff will be available 24 hours a day,allowing families access to high-quality specialtycare for their children, closer to home.
“Our new partnership is an important step for-ward that will bring a new level of quality care forour patients and their families,” said DaleSurowitz, Providence Tarzana’s chief executive.
There is no children’s hospital in the vast areaserved by Providence Tarzana pediatrics—a regionof nearly 3 million people that includes the SanFernando, Santa Clarita and Conejo Valleys andSimi Valley and is roughly the population ofChicago.
“It is an honor for us to be able to partner withProvidence Tarzana Medical Center to ensure chil-dren have access to a winning team so close tohome,” said Richard D. Cordova, FACHE, CHLApresident/CEO. “For Valley families, this will meanthey will have access to a new level of inpatientcare for their children right in their own backyard.”
Under the terms of an agreement finalized inApril, CHLA Medical Group will assume medicalleadership of Providence Tarzana Medical Center’sthree pediatric units, transitioning the Valley hos-pital to an care model that will expand access to awide spectrum of specialists and subspecialists.
UCLA Researchers Findings MayHelp Autistic Youth Who Are OverlySensitive To Sensory Stimuli
Using functional magneticresonance imaging, a team ofUCLA researchers has shownfor the first time that childrenwith autism spectrum disorder(ASD) who are overly sensitiveto sensory stimuli have brainsthat react differently than thosewith the disorder who don’trespond so severely to noises,visual stimulation and physicalcontact. The findings could leadto the development of interven-tions that can help the morethan 50 percent of individualswith ASD who have strong neg-ative responses to sensory stim-uli, a condition called sensoryover-responsivity (SOR).
Interventions for this condi-tion could significantly improvethe lives of children with thisform of ASD and their families,said study first author ShulamiteA. Green, a postdoctoral fellowin the Semel Institute forNeuroscience and HumanBehavior at UCLA.
“This condition is distress-ing and impairing for individu-als on the autism spectrum, aswell as for their parents, whooften feel confined to theirhomes because it’s too difficultto take their children out shop-ping, to the movies or to a
restaurant,” Green said. “Ourresearch provides new insightsinto the brain differences thatmay cause sensory over-respon-sivity, which helps us under-stand how to treat it—from sim-ple interventions like limitingexposure to multiple sensorystimuli to more complex inter-ventions like cognitive-behav-ioral therapy.
The study appeared earlierthis month in the early onlineedition of the peer-reviewedjournal JAMA Psychiatry.
ASD is a developmentaldisability that can cause social,communication and behavioralchallenges. The Centers forDisease Control estimates thatabout 1 in 68 children havebeen identified with autismspectrum disorder.
Green said research onSOR, and particularly brainimaging research, is still newand sensory symptoms wereonly recently added to the diag-nostic criteria for ASD, twodevelopments which may ulti-mately lead to clues as to whythese children have such strongreactions to sensory stimuli.

empty lots.”Shubert, who grew up in a
Spanish bungalow on WetherlyDrive near Olympic and Do-heny, entered kindergarten on
the first day Horace MannGrammar School opened, con-tinuing through graduation in1938.
That same year, Shubertsold her first dress design to amanufacturer (it was that sea-son’s best seller).

Further, theAuthority will makeevery attempt to imple-ment all changes togovernmental account-ing practices at the ear-liest practicable time.
The Authority’s CAFRand other financialstatements should be inconformity with GAAP,demonstrate compli-ance with finance relat-ed legal and contractualprovisions, disclosethoroughness and detailsufficiency, and mini-mize ambiguities andpotentials for misleadinginference.The Authority’s CAFRwill also be submitted to
national repositoriesidentified by theAuthority’s bond trustagent as a continuingcommitment to disclosethoroughness to enableinvestors to makeinformed decisions.
The Authority’s Budgetshould satisfy criteria asa financial policy docu-ment.
To provide a reasonablebasis for making theChief Financial Officer’s( m a n a g e m e n t ’ s )required representa-tions concerning thefinances of the ParkingAuthority, the Authorityhas a comprehensiveinternal control frame-work that is designedboth to protect theAuthority’s assets fromloss, theft, or misuseand to compile sufficientreliable information forthe preparation of theAuthority’s financialstatements in conformitywith GAAP. The ChiefFinancial Officer is giventhe responsibility andauthority to develop andmaintain proper internalcontrols on all financialaspects of the Authorityand maintain all thebooks of the Authorityfor inspection. Becausethe cost of internal con-trols should not signifi-cantly outweigh theirbenefits, the Authority’scomprehensive frame-work of internal controlshas been designed toprovide reasonablerather than absoluteassurance that thefinancial statements willbe free from materialmisstatements.
The Chief FinancialOfficer shall endeavor tomaintain cash reservessufficient to fully fundthe net present value ofaccruing liabilitiesincluding self-insuranceprovisions, obligationsto employees for vestedpayroll and benefits andsimilar obligations asthey are incurred, and tomaintain the highestcredit rating possible forthe Authority.
The Chief FinancialOfficer, as appropriate,shall prepare and pres-ent to the Board ofDirectors of the ParkingAuthority interim rev-enue and expendituretrends to allow evalua-tion of potential discrep-ancies from budgetassumptions.
The Authority shouldavoid committing to newspending for operatingor capital improvementpurposes until an analy-sis of all current andfuture cost implicationsis completed and pre-sented to it by the ChiefFinancial Officer.
Section 2. OperatingManagement Policies
The Chief FinancialOfficer is primarilyresponsible for thedevelopment, imple-mentation, and evalua-tion of all financial man-agement policies andprocedures. However,
other officers, employ-ees and/or contractorswill participate in theresponsibility of meetingpolicy goals, budgetgoals, and ensuring thelong-term financialhealth of the Authority.Future work plans, pro-gram initiatives, and per-formance indicators willbe developed to reflectcurrent policy directives,projected resources,and future servicerequirements.
The budget process isintended to weigh allcompeting requests forAuthority resourceswithin expected fiscalconstraints. Requestsfor new, ongoing pro-grams made outside thebudget process will bediscouraged.
The Authority willendeavor to avoidbudgetary andaccounting proceduresthat balance the cur-rent budget at theexpense of futurebudgets.
Budget developmentshould utilize strategicmulti-year fiscal plan-ning, conservative rev-enue forecasts, and pro-gram-based costaccounting that requireevery program to be jus-tified annually in termsof meeting intendedobjectives (“effective-ness criteria”). Theprocess will include adiligent review of pro-grams by staff, the ChiefFinancial Officer, andBoard of Directors.
Utilization of a programbudget format will pro-vide a basis for evalua-tion of service and otherimpacts of potentialincreases or decreasesin funding.
Revenues will not bededicated for specificpurposes, unlessrequired by law or gen-erally acceptedaccounting practices(GAAP). Current rev-enues will fund currentexpenditures and tothe extent possible adiversified and stablerevenue system will bedeveloped and main-tained to protect pro-grams from short-termfluctuations in any sin-gle revenue source.
The Authority shallstrive to avoid return-ing to the Board ofDirectors for new orexpanded appropria-tions. Exceptions mayinclude emergencies,unforeseen impacts,mid-year adjustmentsor new opportunities.
Addition of personnelwill only be requestedto meet program initia-tives and policy direc-tives: after serviceneeds have been thor-oughly examined and itis substantiated thatadditional staffing willresult in increased rev-enue or enhancedoperating efficiencies.

The Authority willidentify activities thatcould be provided byanother source andreview options/alterna-tives to current servicedelivery. The review ofservice delivery alterna-tives and the need forthe service will be per-formed annually or onan “opportunity” basis.
Cash and Investmentprograms will be main-tained in accordancewith the GovernmentCode and the adoptedinvestment policy orthe City of BeverlyHills’ investment policyuntil the Authorityadopts an investmentpolicy. The Authoritywill ensure that propercontrols and safe-guards are maintained.Authority funds will bemanaged in a prudentand diligent mannerwith an emphasis onsafety of principal, liq-uidity, and financialreturn on principal, inthat order.

Pay-as-you-go financing isdefined as all sources ofrevenue other thanAuthority debt issuance,i.e., fund balance contri-butions, developer con-tributions, grants,endowments, etc. Pay-as-you-go financingshould generally be con-sidered as the preferredoption. However, thepotential for debtissuance that providesadditional economicand/or strategic valuescould be considered asrecommended by theChief Financial Officer.
Section 4. DebtManagement Policies
The Chief FinancialOfficer will seek toestablish and, improvethe bond rating(s) inorder to minimize bor-rowing costs and pre-serve access to credit.

City of Beverly HillsFinancial Policies
Section 1. FinancialReporting Policies
The City’s accountingand financial reportingsystems will be main-
tained in general confor-mance with state andfederal laws, generallyaccepted accountingprinciples (GAAP), andthe GovernmentFinance OfficersAssociation (GFOA).Further, the City willmake every attempt toimplement all changesto governmentalaccounting practices atthe earliest practicabletime.
The City’s CAFR will besubmitted to the GFOACertification ofAchievement forExcellence in FinancialReporting Program.The financial reportshould be in conformitywith GAAP, demonstratecompliance with financerelated legal and con-tractual provisions, dis-close thoroughness anddetail sufficiency, andminimize ambiguitiesand potentials for mis-leading inference.
The City’s CAFR willalso be submitted tonational repositoriesidentified by the City’sbond trust agent as acontinuing commitmentto disclose thorough-ness to enable investorsto make informed deci-sions.
The City’s Budgetshould satisfy criteria asa financial and program-matic policy document,as a comprehensivefinancial plan, as anoperations guide for allorganizational units andas a communicationsdevice for all significantbudgetary issues,trends, and resourcechoices.
To provide a reasonablebasis for making theChief Financial Officer’s( m a n a g e m e n t ’ s )required representa-tions concerning thefinances of the City ofBeverly Hills, the Cityhas established a com-prehensive internal con-trol framework that isdesigned both to protectthe City’s assets fromloss, theft, or misuseand to compile sufficientreliable information forthe preparation of theCity’s financial state-ments in conformity withGAAP. The ChiefFinancial Officer is giventhe responsibility andauthority to develop andmaintain proper internalcontrols on all financialaspects of the City andmaintain all the books ofthe City for inspection.Because the cost ofinternal controls shouldnot significantly out-weigh their benefits, theCity’s comprehensiveframework of internalcontrols has beendesigned to provide rea-sonable rather thanabsolute assurance thatthe financial statementswill be free from materi-al misstatements.
The Chief FinancialOfficer shall evaluatethe fiscal impact of pro-posed changes in allsalaries or retirementbenefits to be provided
to any employee oremployee associationand present to the CityCouncil.
The Chief FinancialOfficer shall endeavor tomaintain cash reservessufficient to fully fundthe net present value ofaccruing liabilitiesincluding self-insuranceprovisions, obligationsto employees for vestedpayroll and benefits andsimilar obligations asthey are incurred, and tomaintain the highestcredit rating possible forthe City.
The Chief FinancialOfficer shall prepareand present to the CityCouncil interim revenueand expenditure trendsto allow evaluation ofpotential discrepanciesfrom budget assump-tions.
The City Council shallavoid committing to newspending for operatingor capital improvementpurposes until an analy-sis of all current andfuture cost implicationsis completed and pre-sented to it by the ChiefFinancial Officer.
Section 2. OperatingManagement Policies
The Chief FinancialOfficer is primarilyresponsible for thedevelopment, imple-mentation, and evalua-tion of all financial andhuman resource man-agement policies andprocedures. However,all departments will par-ticipate in the responsi-bility of meeting policygoals, budget goals, andensuring the long-termfinancial health of theCity. Future work plans,program initiatives, andperformance indicatorswill be developed toreflect current policydirectives, projectedresources, and futureservice requirements.
The budget process isintended to weigh allcompeting requests forCity resources withinexpected fiscal con-straints. Requests fornew, ongoing programsmade outside the budg-et process will be dis-couraged.
The City will endeavor toavoid budgetary andaccounting proceduresthat balance the currentbudget at the expenseof future budgets.
Budget development willuse strategic multi-yearfiscal planning, conser-vative revenue fore-casts, and program-based cost accountingthat require every pro-gram to be justifiedannually in terms ofmeeting intended objec-tives (“effectiveness cri-teria”). The process willinclude a diligent reviewof programs by staff, theChief Financial Officer,and City Council.
Utilization of a programbudget format will pro-vide a basis for evalua-
tion of service and otherimpacts of potentialincreases or decreasesin funding.
Revenues will not bededicated for specificpurposes, unlessrequired by law or gen-erally accepted account-ing practices (GAAP).All non-restricted rev-enues will be depositedin the General Fund (orother designated fundas approved by theChief Financial Officer)and appropriated by theCity Council.
Current revenues willfund current expendi-tures and a diversifiedand stable revenue sys-tem will be developedand maintained to pro-tect programs fromshort-term fluctuationsin any single revenuesource.
Current operatingexpenditures for all fundtypes will include allallocable overheadoperating costs. For themost part, theseexpenses will becharged to individualbudget program ele-ments as internal serv-ice fund charges.Included within the allo-cated service charges toGovernmental Fundtypes will be fundingadequate to maintainthe approved capitalprogram (unlessfinanced through otherdebt instruments).
City staff shall strive toidentify entrepreneurialsolutions to recovercosts of operating pro-grams.
The City shall strive toavoid returning to theCity Council for new orexpanded appropria-tions. Exceptions mayinclude emergencies,unforeseen impacts,mid-year adjustments ornew opportunities.
Addition of personnelwill only be requested tomeet program initiativesand policy directives:after service needs havebeen thoroughly exam-ined and it is substanti-ated that additionalstaffing will result inincreased revenue orenhanced operating effi-ciencies. To the extentfeasible, personnel costreductions will beachieved through attri-tion or transfer
All non-enterprise userfees and charges will beexamined or adjustedevery year and undergoa thorough review todetermine the 100%direct and indirect costof service recovery rateat least every four years.The Council will strive toobtain 100% cost recov-ery rates, but willreserve the right torecover less as appro-priate. The acceptablerecovery rate and anyassociated changes touser fees and chargeswill be approved by theCity Council followingpublic review, each year.
Development impactfees, as permitted bystate law, for capitalexpenses attributable tonew development will bereviewed annually toensure that fees recover100% of direct and indi-rect development-relat-ed expenses and beapproved by CityCouncil. Any unfavor-able balances in costrecovery will be broughtto the City Council’sattention by the ChiefFinancial Officer andaffected DepartmentHead, and evaluatedfrom a departmental,program, and goals per-spective.
Capital equipmentreplacement will beaccomplished through alife cycle of fundingmechanism and in someinstances the use of a“rental” rate structure.The rates will be revisedannually to ensure thatcharges to operatingdepartments are suffi-cient for operation andreplacement of vehiclesand other capital equip-ment (fleet, computers,phones, and copier sys-tems). The City shallendeavor to maintainadequate cash reservesto fund 100% replace-ment of certain capitale q u i p m e n t .Replacement costs willbe based upon equip-ment lifecycle financialanalysis developed byeach department andapproved by the ChiefFinancial Officer. Non-capital equipmentreplacement will be setup in a separate fundand will be accom-plished through a lifecycle funding mecha-nism developed by eachdepartment and imple-mented and approvedby the Chief FinancialOfficer.
Grant funding will beconsidered to leverageCity funds. Inconsistentand/or fluctuating grantsshould not be used tofund ongoing programs.Programs financed withgrant monies will bebudgeted in separatecost centers, and theservice program will beadjusted to reflect thelevel of available fund-ing. In the event ofreduced grant funding,City resources will besubstituted only after allprogram priorities andalternatives are consid-ered.
Balanced revenue andexpenditure forecastswill be prepared by theChief Financial Officerto examine the City’sability to absorb operat-ing costs due tochanges in the econo-my, service demands,and capital improve-ments. The forecast willbe updated annuallyand include a four orfive-year outlook. TheChief Financial Officerwill prepare and presentthese estimates to theCity Council at leastonce a year.
Alternative means ofservice delivery will be
evaluated by the ChiefFinancial Officer toensure that quality serv-ices are provided to ourcitizens at the mostcompetitive and eco-nomical cost.Departments, in cooper-ation with the CityManager and ChiefFinancial Officer, willidentify all activities thatcould be provided byanother source andreview options/alterna-tives to current servicedelivery. The review ofservice delivery alterna-tives and the need forthe service will be per-formed annually or onan “opportunity” basis.
Cash and Investmentprograms will be main-tained in accordancewith the GovernmentCode and the adoptedinvestment policy andwill ensure that propercontrols and safeguardsare maintained. Cityfunds will be managedin a prudent and diligentmanner with an empha-sis on safety of princi-pal, liquidity, and finan-cial return on principal,in that order. Pursuantto State law, the CityTreasurer and the ChiefFinancial Officer, atleast annually, shall rec-ommend necessaryrevisions to the CityCouncil of a detailedinvestment policy. Inaddition to liquidityrequirements, the CityTreasurer and ChiefFinancial Officer willalso consider the appro-priateness of investmentdecisions vis-à-vis debtmanagement.
The City, through theChief Financial Officerand the AdministrativeServices Department,will follow an aggres-sive, consistent, butsensitive policy of col-lecting revenues, withproper internal controls,to meet the needs of theCity and follow all appli-cable state and federallaws.
Section 3. CapitalManagement Policies
A five-year CapitalImprovement Plan (CIP)will be developed andupdated annually,including anticipatedfunding sources.Capital improvementprojects are defined asinfrastructure or equip-ment purchases or con-struction which resultsin a capitalized assetand having a useful(depreciable) life of twoyears or more.
The CIP will attempt toinclude adequate fund-ing to support repair andreplacement of deterio-rating infrastructure andavoidance of a signifi-cant unfunded liability.
Proposed capital proj-ects will be consideredthrough the City budgetdevelopment processand reviewed and priori-tized by a cross-depart-mental team regardingaccurate costing(design, capital, and

PUBLIC NOPUBLIC NOTICESTICESoperating) as well as theChief Financial Officerfor overall consistencywith the City’s goals andobjectives. The City’sChief Financial Officerwill then identify financ-ing sources for the high-est-ranking projects.Prior to adoption by theCity Council, the CIP willbe reviewed by thePlanning Commissionfor conformity with theGeneral Plan.
Capital project contractawards will include a fis-cal impact statementdisclosing the expectedoperating impact of theproject and when suchcost is expected tooccur.
Pay-as-you-go CapitalImprovement Planfinancing shouldaccount for a minimumof 50 percent of all capi-tal improvement proj-ects for each five-yearplanning period. Pay-as-you-go financing isdefined as all sources ofrevenue other than Citydebt issuance, i.e., fundbalance contributions,developer contributions,grants, endowments,etc. Pay-as-you-gofinancing should gener-ally be considered asthe preferred option.However, the potentialfor debt issuance thatprovides additional eco-nomic and/or strategicvalues could be consid-ered as recommendedby the Chief FinancialOfficer.
The City shall endeavorto apply restricted funds(i.e., In-lieu Parking,Gas Tax Funds or exist-ing Bond proceeds) tocapital projects beforeusing “unrestricted”funds.
Section 4. DebtManagement Policies
The Chief FinancialOfficer will seek to main-tain and, if possible,improve the currentbond rating(s) in orderto minimize borrowingcosts and preserveaccess to credit.
New debt issues, andrefinancing of existingdebt, must be analyzedfor compatibility withinthe City’s overall finan-cial planning andapproved by the ChiefFinancial Officer. Thereview shall not be limit-ed to cash flow analysis,potential for unexpectedrevenue surprises, andthe maintenance of theCity’s bond ratings.Annual debt serviceshall not produce aninordinate impact uponfuture operations.
The Chief FinancialOfficer will ensure thatCity Debt Service costswithin the General Fundshould not exceed 15%of the City’s operatingrevenue in order to con-trol fixed costs andensure expenditure flex-ibility. ImprovementDistrict, EnterpriseFund, Parking Authorityand general obligationdebt service is not
included in this calcula-tion because it is paid bydistrict property owners,service users or taxpay-ers and is not an obliga-tion of future generalfund revenues.
General Obligation debt,which is supported byproperty tax revenuewhich grows in propor-tion to the City’sassessed valuationand/or property tax rateincreases, may be uti-lized if/when authorizedby voters. Other typesof debt (e.g., water,sewer, and parking) mayalso be utilized whenthey are supported bydedicated revenuesources (e.g., fees anduser charges) and rec-ommended by the ChiefFinancial Officer.
Debt financing shouldnot exceed the usefullife of the infrastructureimprovement with theaverage (weighted)bond maturities at orbelow thirty years,unless otherwiseauthorized by Council.
A ratio of current assetsto current liabilities of atleast 2/1 will be main-tained to ensure theCity’s ability to payshort-term obligations.
Utility rates will be set,at a minimum, to ensurethe ratio of revenue todebt service meets ourbond indenture require-ment (generally a mini-mum of 125% of debtservice). In addition,higher revenue toexpense rations may beneeded to secure theCity’s bond rating, asdetermined by the ChiefFinancial Officer. Whencalculating debt servic-es coverage for internalpurposes, the minimumpay-as-you-go capitalexpense for each enter-prise fund will be con-sidered a part of theoperating costs to becovered by pre-debtservice revenues. TheCity goal will be to main-tain the required debtservice coverage withthis additional cost fac-tored into the equation.Use of a 5-year budgetprojection, includingcapital project require-ments, will provideassurance that all needsare considered by theChief Financial Officer,the Public WorksCommission and CityCouncil as revenuerequirements are con-sidered.
Section 5. ReservePolicies
General FundAll fund designationsand reserves will beevaluated annually bythe Chief FinancialOfficer for long-termadequacy and userequirements in con-junction with develop-ment of the City’s bal-anced five year financialplan. In adhering toGAAP, the City followsappropriate GovernmentalAccounting StandardsBoard (GASB)Statements, one of
which No. 54 (GASB 54)addresses FundBalance Reporting.Compliance with GASB54 requires use of theterms below to definevarious components offund balance. For futurereporting of Cityreserves these termsshall be used to definewhat comprises thereserve.
a) Nonspendablefund balance (inherentlynonspendable) includethe :
• Portion of netresources that cannotbe spent because oftheir form, and
• Portion of netresources that cannotbe spent because theymust be maintainedintact
b) R e s t r i c t e dfund balance (external-ly enforceable limita-tions on use) includeamounts subject to:
• L i m i t a t i o n simposed by creditors,grantors, contributors, orlaws and regulations ofother government
• L i m i t a t i o n simposed by law throughconstitutional provisionor enabling legislation
c) C o m m i t t e dfund balance (selfimposed limitation set inplace prior to the end ofthe period):
• L i m i t a t i o nimposed at the highestlevel of decision makingthat requires formalaction at the same levelto remove. For the City,the City Council is thehighest level of decisionmaking.
• R e s o u r c e saccumulated pursuantto stabilization arrange-ments would fit in thiscategory only if thearrangement is specificregarding the circum-stances when spendingwould be permitted, andthose circumstanceswould need to be of anon-routine nature.
d) A s s i g n e dfund balance (limitationresulting from intendeduse)consists of amountswhere the:
• Intended use isestablished by the bodydesignated for that pur-pose (City Council),
• Intended use isestablished by officialdesignated for that pur-pose. For the City, theCity Manager is the des-ignated official
e) Unassignedfund balance (residualnet resources) is the:
• Total fund bal-ance in the general fundin excess of nonspend-able, restricted, commit-ted, and assigned fundbalance
• Excess of non-spendable, restricted,and committed fund bal-ance over total fund bal-ance
It is a goal of the City toobtain and maintain ageneral operatingreserve in the form ofcash, of at least 40% ofoperating revenues.The first 25% of operat-ing revenues shall beconsidered a contin-gency reserve to cover
normal seasonal cashflow variations, as wellas unforeseen emer-gency or catastrophicimpacts upon the City.Reserve funds in excessof 25% of operating rev-enues may be used forshort term economicinvestment in the com-munity when justified byprojected financialreturn to the City andspecifically authorizedby the City Council,upon recommendationof the Chief FinancialOfficer.
In addition to cashspecifically maintainedin the General Fund, werecognize the followingcash reserve resourcesas being available tomeet sudden negativefiscal impacts in theshort term:
• E q u i p m e n tReplacement Fund(Fund 400)
• Capital AssetsFund (Fund 405)
• I n f o r m a t i o nTechnology Fund (Fund410)
• C a b l eTelevision Fund (Fund420)
•Reprographics/GraphicsFund (Fund 430)
• E m p l o y e eBenefits Fund (Fund440)
• Liability Self-Insurance Fund (Fund450) (only in excess ofrequired reserves)
• W o r k e r ’ sCompensation Self-Insurance Fund (Fund460) (only in excess ofrequired reserves)
• V e h i c l eReplacement Fund(Fund 490)
One-time revenue wind-falls should be designat-ed as a reserve or usedfor one-time expendi-tures. The funds are notto be used for on-goingoperations. To theextent such funds arenot required for currentexpenditures, one-timeexpenditures and/orcapital improvementssuch funds should bemaintained as operatingreserves or used toreduce debt.
For purposes of this pol-icy, one-time revenuewindfalls shall include:
• Lump sum (netpresent value) savingsfrom debt restructuring
• C a l P E R SRebates
• Tax Revenuegrowth in excess of 5%in a single year
• Sale of city-owned real estate
• Pure unexpect-ed revenues (i.e. litiga-tion settlement)
• Receipts fromapproved DevelopmentAgreements
• Contributionsand Gifts
• Any other rev-enues the City Councilmay elect to designateas extraordinary
Sufficient reserves shallbe maintained in inter-nal service funds to pre-vent extended disrup-
tion of service in theevent of natural disas-ters or other interrup-tions of revenue collec-tions. Determination ofadequate reserves willbe reviewed annually bythe Chief FinancialOfficer and guided bythe following:
S e l f - I n s u r a n c eReserves (liability, work-ers’ compensation,other) will be maintainedat a level, which, togeth-er with purchased insur-ance policies, will ade-quately cover the City’sproperty, liability, andhealth benefit risk. Aqualified actuarial firmshall be retained andreport on a bi-annualbasis recommendedappropriate funding lev-els. The City shallendeavor to maintainreserves equal to 90%of the estimated netpresent value of suchliabilities.
Fleet Management,Building, Equipment andInformation Technologyreserves will be main-tained based upon life-cycle replacement plansto ensure adequate fundbalance required forsystematic replacementof fleet vehicles, buildingcomponents and sys-tems, computers andrelated equipment, andoperational contingen-cies. Operating depart-ments will be chargedover the useful life of theasset used. The Cityshall endeavor to stabi-lize funding by buildingreserves equal to theanticipated replacementcost of each asset classat end of useful life.
Enterprise Fund (Water,Parking Operations,Solid Waste,Wastewater, and CleanWater) user fees andcharges will be exam-ined annually to ensurethat they recover alldirect and indirect costsof service, provide forcapital improvementsand maintenance, andmaintain adequatereserves. Secondarily,maintenance of cashreserves will provide ade facto rate stabiliza-tion plan. Rate increas-es shall be approved bythe City Council follow-ing formal noticing andpublic hearing. Rateadjustments for enter-prise operations will bebased on five-yearfinancial plans unless aconscious decision ismade to the contrary.The target level of oper-ating cash reservesshall be 50% of grossannual user revenues.
Contingency Reserves,to be determined annu-ally by the ChiefFinancial Officer, will bemaintained to offsetunanticipated revenueshortfalls and/or unex-pected expenditureincreases. Contingencyreserves may also beused for unanticipatedand/or inadequatelybudgeted events threat-ening the public healthor safety. Use of contin-gency funds shall be
approved at recommen-dation of the ChiefFinancial Officer.
Budget Reserves arepresented in theComprehensive AnnualFinancial Report(CAFR) in the FinancialStatement section des-ignated as unreservedfund balance. The City’sCAFR is available onthe City’s website atwww.beverlyhills.org.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 3). Career developments spark thebeginning of your solar year. Course corrections may be neces-sary next month, and you’ll quickly switch to the path that’s bestfor you. Your resources blend in interesting ways. Septembershows you extremely creative, and love has something to dowith this. January brings a new mentor. Aquarius and Aries peo-ple adore you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your expression is the best thing inyour wardrobe. It’s so versatile. You’ll wear it with style today,applying just the tone that will make a dull room light up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s important that you privately keeptrack of your accomplishments so that you can bolster yourselfwhen you’re feeling down and build on what you’ve done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re looking for powerful, roman-tic and lasting love–the kind movies are made about. This iswhy you’ll forgo tepid invitations and half-hearted attention.You’re willing to wait for the real deal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those who insist on only one way ofproceeding will get stuck. You can get over the blockage bybeing open to possibilities. Ask what's worked for other people. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you share your life withanother person, you let go of some of your control over it.Relationships may get frustrating as you realize your realm ofinfluence has changed. You can adjust to this gracefully, andyou will. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As long as you’re adding newfriends to your life, look for the generous souls—the ones whowill give without asking whether it's a tax write-off. One trulygenerous friend improves the way you feel about relationshipsin general. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When people don’t need helpbut ask for it anyway, you feel wronged by the request. Yourmotto is not to ask anyone to do for you what you could easilydo for yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People open up in different ways.Some take more time to get to know. Some give their trust spar-ingly. Don’t take any of this personally, because it’s not aboutyou. Patience and love will win out. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). The sounds of rain, a distant party orcrashing waves all could be considered soothing under the rightcircumstances and with the right outlook. Search for the sooth-ing side of the stimuli in today’s environment. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). Spontaneous emotion can be the thrillof life or the bane of existence. You’re feeling ready for lessimpulsivity and a more reasonable, thoughtful, controlledapproach. A Virgo can help you with this.TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You keep wondering whetheryou’re missing something. You don’t want to squander yourpotential, and yet you get the sneaking suspicion you could bedoing more with what you have.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s something you’re fightingfor these days, but you’re doing it in a quiet, patient manner.You’ll get your way in the end if you continue with this persist-ent approach.
The revisions to our historic preservationordinances were developed and agreed to byindividuals, the majority of whom are landlords,land owners and developers and investors withdirect or indirect relationships to real estateattorneys, developers and builders and mort-gage bankers.
Having this “group” revise our historicpreservation ordinances is like having the “foxguard the henhouse.” Certainly, those decidingand voting on these revisions who are investedin and have close ties to the real estate industryshould have recused themselves.
These revisions must be revised and revisedagain and again until the will of all the peopleare represented. And yes, we acknowledge thehard work and effort put forth by the commis-sioners and staff, but then so did the folks at Fordput hard work and effort into developing theEdsel.
We live in Beverly Hills that produces andmanufactures nothing. The earth our City sits onisn't much different than the earth most cities siton. So why is our land so much more valuable?Do you think it's because of the new ChaseBank building on Wilshire, or the building onSpalding/ Wilshire honoring sunburn blisters orthe homes designed by the new wave of talentthat created the blob of aluminum foil desecrat-ing our green acres on Santa Monica Boulevard?Apparently the group that developed and sup-ports these revisions do. Reading between thelines you will discover their vision or lack of.....a vast wasteland of mediocrity filled withMcmansions, and prefab looking highrisesresulting in major traffic congestion, little or nostreet parking, the inevitable rationing of waterand plummeting property values.
Our City and our earth are valuable becauseof the magic, glamour and excitement createdby the stars–the legends the studios, the vision-aries--where they lived, worked, played, walkedtheir dogs (and John Wayne milking his cow inhis penthouse on Wilshire). Those whoselifestyles became the dreams of most Americans.
It is this history, this heritage, present todayin our neighborhoods and communities andhomes that makes our earth, this City so desir-able to live in and visit. These revisions to theordinances will foster unchecked destruction ofwhat is our most valuable asset–our history andheritage. We will “kill the goose that lays thegolden egg”..Do not allow what is happening tothe 300 block of North Oakhurst Drive happento the rest of our beautiful City.
Robert Block Beverly Hills******
As Beverly Hills homeowners, my wifePatricia and I are strongly opposed to the“Removal Action Workplan” for the BeverlyHills’ Lots 12 and 13 at 9315 Civic Center Dr.
For the past 30 to 40 years, not one individ-ual has been harmed by the arsenic found alongthe old railroad line. The public safety has beenprotected by doing “nothing.”
When serving as chairman/CEO of a majorpublic company listed on the NYSE, back in1991 I initiated a program to remediate 12 sitesin close co-operation with state and federalauthorities. My company was honored by thestate of California for its farsighted actions onbehalf of public safety.
I learned that every remediation effort isfraught with many unforeseen, negative surpris-es. In some cases, these negative surprisesresulted in costs 10 times greater than anticipat-ed. But costs are merely dollars. The lives andsafety of our citizens is most important. In ourproject, no people were harmed.
I truly worry that disturbing the arsenic lessthan five feet below the ground surface willresult in unforeseen negative surprises with thepotential to harm the environment and humanhealth.
The mission of the Department of ToxicSubstances Control is to protect California’s peo-ple and environment.
We urge it to not go forward with this proj-ect. We support alternative #1–no further action!
