The ESP Education and Leadership Institute wasestablished as a 501 (c)(3) organization to developprograms and strategies to positively impact theacademic, career and life success of Black studentathletes and to help colleges and universities as wellas professional teams and leagues diversify theircapital and other sports spending so that Blacks

might share in the harvest of the $500-billionsports business industry.

We have developed a Business of Sports Success,or BOSS, program and curriculum that is designedto identify, nurture and develop key aspects of thecompetitive intelligence of the Black athlete to helpthem compete academically and in life. The BOSS

curriculum will also expose and inspire Black stu-dent athletes towards non-playing career and entre-preneurial opportunities in sports whose skills areeasily transferable to non-sports opportunities inadministration, science, technology and math.Through our POWER (People Organized andWorking for Economic Rebirth) initiative we willhelp colleges and universities as well as professionalteams and leagues develop creative programs thatwill result in greater participation in their spendingby diverse businesses within the limitations of

applicable law not unlike I did when I authored thePort of Long Beach’s small and very small businessprogram in 2006 . . . a program that has resulted inhundreds of millions dollars in spending by theport with businesses that had previously beenunable to do business with the port despite theirbest efforts.

Through POWER we will also advise and coun-sel Black businesses on the appropriate protocol andrequirements of doing business in the sports space.

A strategy to share in the wealth

■ College sports programs thrive on Black athletes, butAfrican American businesses and students are shunned

BY EVERETT L. GLENNESP EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

A host of scandals in recent years have made thecorruption of college sports constant news fodder. In2010, the NCAA sanctioned the University ofSouthern California after determining that star run-ning back Reggie Bush and his family had received“improper benefits.”

Two years ago, as Auburn University footballstormed its way to an undefeated season and anational championship, the team’s star quarterback,Cam Newton, was dogged by allegations that hisfather had solicited $180,000 from Mississippi Statein exchange for his son’s matriculation there afterjunior college.

Last year, Ohio State’s highly successful headcoach, Jim Tressel, resigned after the NCAA allegedhe had feigned ignorance of rules violations by play-ers on his team. Late last summer, Yahoo Sportsreported that the NCAA was investigating allegationsthat a University of Miami booster had given millionsof dollars in illicit cash and services to more than 70Hurricanes football players over eight years.

In an October 2011 story in The Atlantic, “The

Real Shame of College Sports,” author Taylor Branchsurmised that the real scandal is the very structure ofcollege sports, where the NCAA and its memberinstitutions generate billions for themselves and pri-vate companies from the unpaid labor of so-calledstudent athletes.

“Ninety percent of the NCAA revenue is pro-duced by 1 percent of the athletes. Go to the skillpositions—the stars. Ninety percent (of the 1 per-cent) are Black,” says Sonny Vaccaro, who since sign-ing his pioneering shoe contract with Michael Jordanin 1984 also profited off the labor of the Black athleteby building sponsorship empires successively at Nike,Adidas and Reebok.

But the real scandal in college sports runs muchdeeper than not paying student athletes or excludingthem from the multimillion-dollar film and video-game industry that uses their name and likeness.Think colonialism.

College sports, as overseen by the NCAA, is a sys-tem imposed by well-meaning paternalists andrationalized with shallow claims about caring for thecommunity or the well-being of the athlete who isthe raw material in the multibillion-dollar collegesports production process.

While Black athletes dominate storied footballand basketball programs across the country, the rateof academic success by African American athletesleaves much to be desired. USC’s football programrecorded one of the worst graduation rates in the cur-rently ranked AP Top 25 when the NCAA recentlyreleased figures for 2002-05. USC’s GraduationSuccess Rate (GSR) for all student athletes was 57percent. Only Oklahoma, Florida State and SouthCarolina recorded lower marks at 47 percent, 55 per-cent and 55 percent, respectively.

Among Pacific-12 schools, USC finished ninth.

USC’s basketball team fared even worse, with a 43percent Graduation Success Rate, the worst in thePAC-12, but up from 38 percent a year earlier.According to UCLA, the Graduation Success Rate forBlack football players from 2002-2005 was 51 per-cent, compared with 84 percent for their White team-mates, a 33-point difference. The Graduation SuccessRate for all Black student athletes at UCLA over thatperiod was 74 percent, compared with 89 percent forWhites, a 15-point difference. The GraduationSuccess Rate for UCLA basketball players was 70 per-cent during the same period.

According to The Bootleg, a Stanford Universitywebsite considered an unauthorized authority on col-lege sports, the Graduation Success Rate for Blackfootball players at USC from 2007 to 2010 was only45 percent, or 12 points less than that of White foot-ball players. The Graduation Success Rate for UCLA’sBlack football players during the same time periodwas 47 percent, or 15 points less than that of theirWhite teammates.

The Graduation Success Rate for all Black athletesat USC (including mostly basketball and track andfield) from 2007 to 2010 was 53 percent, or 18 pointsless than the overall 71 percent Graduation SuccessRate for White athletes.

At UCLA, the overall Graduation Success Rate forother Black athletes between 2007 and 2010 was only54 percent, 25 points less than the overall graduationrate for all UCLA athletes.

According to their website, all figures utilized byThe Bootleg were taken from the NCAA 2011Graduation Success Rate Report and the NCAA 2011Federal Graduation Rate Report. All figures are “fourclass” Graduation Success Rates, representing the com-bined Graduation Success Rates of the four most recentclasses for which data are available. These figures meas-ure the percentage of scholarship athletes who graduatewithin six years after enrollment as freshmen.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates California’sBlack population at 6.6 percent (2011). Due toProposition 209, which prohibits the consideration ofrace in the admissions process of California publicuniversities, UCLA’s Black student enrollment fell toless than 2 percent in 2006. However, despiteProposition 209, Black freshman student enrollmentat UCLA has increased to 4 percent for the 2012 aca-demic year as a result of the efforts of the Alliance forEqual Opportunity in Education working withUCLA and UC administration to institute a new, fair-er, race-neutral but “holistic” admissions model.

These numbers may not not improve significantlyconsidering the pending U.S. Supreme Court case,Fisher v. University of Texas, that will determinewhether public universities can continue to use raceas a factor in admissions to promote diverse learningenvironments. Private universities like USC are notsubject to Proposition 209, but Black student enroll-ment there has fallen from 5.5 percent in 2009 to 4.6for 2011-12.

While the Black student population at UCLA and

USC remain less than 5 percent, Black athletes makeup approximately 43 percent of the football roster atUSC and 80 percent of the starters. Black athletesmake up nearly 90 percent of the USC men’s basket-ball team and 100 percent of the starters.

At UCLA, Black athletes make up approximately51 percent of the football roster and approximately72 percent of starters. In basketball, Black athletesmake up 80 percent of the team and starters.

Basketball and football represent the only rev-enue-generating college sports. USC athletic depart-ment revenue for 2011 was more than $75 million,supporting scholarship assistance for 600 student ath-letes and salaries for 94 coaches of non-revenue pro-ducing sports in addition to basketball and football.

In 2011, athletic department revenue at UCLAwas more than $64 million and supported scholar-ship assistance for 615 student athletes and salariesfor 89 coaches of non-revenue sports in addition tobasketball and football. A new television deal withESPN and FOX is valued at $3 billion, and UCLAand USC could receive $2 million more than the $21million per year each of the member schools receiveif the Pac-12 institutes a new revenue sharing planunder consideration.

This phenomenon exists throughout collegesports. At Louisville, the starters on the No. 2 rankedmen’s basketball team are 100 percent Black; the teamis 77 percent Black, and the athletic budget hasgrown 31 percent in the last three years to nearly $70million, thanks to a new 22,000-seat downtown arenaand a stadium expansion project adding 13,000 seatsalong with premium seating.

In football, 81 percent of the starters are Black. AtOklahoma, 64 percent of the football roster is Black,including 77 percent of the starters. In basketball, 65percent of the team is Black, including 100 percent ofthe starters. Together, they generate more than $90million in revenue, enough to permit the athleticdepartment to provide direct and indirect supportback to the school of more than $7 million per year.

The University of Texas has the largest athleticbudget in college sports, at $153.5 million, and MackBrown is one of the highest-paid coaches in football,pulling down $5 million per year—more than fourNCAA Division I schools—East Tennessee State,Lamar University, Chicago State and the University ofNew Orleans—spend on their entire athletics pro-gram. The football and basketball rosters at Texas aredominated by Black athletes.

Less than 1 percent of college basketball and foot-ball players earn a professional contract. The careerof 99 percent of them will end with their final collegegame. Too many Black athletes are left ill-prepared tomaximize their post-playing career options and faceenormous obstacles in transitioning from college tothe real world. The NCAA’s degree completion schol-arship is available only where the athlete is within 30hours of graduation at the completion of athletic eli-gibility, which does not make it as useful a resource

■ Ten days that link the Diaspora

BY LISA O. FITCHOW CONTRIBUTOR

Carter G. Woodson’s initial 1926 “Negro HistoryWeek” included both the birthdays of AbrahamLincoln and Frederick Douglass. But even the now-expanded monthlong commemoration is too short tocontain all the exciting goings-on. Case in point—thePan African Film Festival.

If you missed it this year, the Pan African FilmFestival (PAFF), which has the distinction of beingthe largest Black History Month event in the UnitedStates, was an 11-day festival that included 154 films,representing 34 countries. It was held at the RaveCinemas Baldwin Hills 15 as an official event ofMayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s celebration of African

American Heritage Month.In addition to films, the festival included a night

of tribute in collaboration with the African AmericanFilm Critics Association, honoring “people who safe-guard our images and help to inspire, engage andenlighten our world community.”

Then of course, each year the walkways of theBaldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza are transformed into amarketplace—the PAFF ArtFest—which showcasesan array of unique jewelry, sculpture, paintings wear-able art and African artifacts.

Too bad it has come and gone so soon. But AyukoBabu, an international legal, cultural and politicalconsultant who specializes in African affairs, notesthat based on the exposure at the festival, you may beseeing these films on TVOne or in regular theaterssoon.

“We’ve been able to prove to the distributors …that there’s an audience, a broad audience of folks

who are interested in these films,” Babu said during arecent radio interview. “Last year ‘Think Like a Man’went on to become the best independent film of theyear.”

And this year, PAFF screened “Free Angela andAll Political Prisoners,” a documentary about activistAngela Davis, which is now set for nationwide releaseon April 5. Davis was a special guest at the screeningafter-party.

“Not many films will make a theatrical release,”PAFF publicist Wyllisa Bennett said. “The reality isthat some films will be bought by a studio or TV out-let, some will be distributed and some films will notfind a home. But with new technology and video ondemand, that is now leveling the playing field forsome of these films, because now there are many dig-ital platforms for films to be shown.”

PAFF was founded in 1992 by award-winning

actor Danny Glover (“The Color Purple,” “LethalWeapon”), Emmy Award-winning actress Ja’NetDuBois (best known for her role as Willona in theTV series, “Good Times”) and Babu, who serves asexecutive director.

Babu left the country shortly after the festivalended this year to visit Burkina Faso. The country,formerly named Upper Volta, achieved independencefrom France in 1960 and now hosts FestivalPanafricain du Cinema (FESPACO; Panafrican FilmFestival), Africa’s largest film festival. It brings in starsand filmmakers from across the continent.

“We are always working on next year’s festival,”Bennett said. “Babu and our director of program-ming, Asantewa Olatunji, travel to other festivalsaround the world. We’re trying to get the best films

for the festival. It’s very competitive.“We’re competing for films that are shown in

Cannes, Tribeca, Toronto and Sundance,” she added.“Filmmakers decide on where they want to debuttheir film and everyone wants to get the best films fortheir festival.

“Although to compare us to other festivals is likecomparing apples and oranges and tomatoes, at theend of the day we’re all looking for fruits and vegeta-bles,” Bennett said.

“PAFF is a festival that filmmakers of color fromaround the world can embrace.”

During the summer, filmmakers apply to submittheir films via www.paff.org. Then, each year, PAFFstaffers view hundreds of submissions.

“They spend their weekends looking at films,”Bennett said. “During the holidays, when other peo-ple are shopping, they are watching movies. It’s veryintense.”

PAFF is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to thepromotion of ethnic and racial respect and tolerancethrough the exhibit of films, art and creative expres-sion that reflect positive and realistic media images.Our Weekly was one of the media sponsors for thisyear’s event, which is supported largely by corpora-tions, local Black organizations and individuals.

“The biggest highlight has been the response ofthe people who come out to see the films,” Babu said.“This is an opportunity to enhance and enrich yourexperience. In 10 days, we go around the world.

“The other thing is this: as a result of slavery andcolonization, African people are spread all over theplanet,” he continued. “Which means that a little bitof our story is in New York; a little bit of our story isin Haiti; a little bit of our story is in Nairobi; a littlebit of our story is in Papua New Guinea or Australiaamong the Aborigine brothers and sisters; or Brazil.

“In order to understand the complex nature of theAfrican story, you have to go around the world,”Babu said. “So what’s gratifying is that we can bringall those stories together, and you can sit in one placein one time and kinda see the different aspects of ourstory.”

The festival got its start in October of 1992, just afew months after the Rodney King riots. It received a

grant from then-Mayor Tom Bradley’s Los AngelesArts Recovery Funds.

It’s difficult to understand other Pan African cul-tures, as the media can sometimes present skewedimages. PAFF believes film and art can lead to betterunderstanding and foster communication betweenpeoples of diverse cultures, races and lifestyles, whileat the same time, serve as a vehicle to initiate dia-logue on the important issues of our times.

“The film competition is the most importantcomponent of the festival,” said Babu. “The competi-tion really sparks the creativity of young filmmakersand raises the bar in the storytelling on film.”

as it should be for the Black athlete. To make matters worse, the participation of Black

businesses and professionals in athletic departmentspending is practically nonexistent. When questionedabout the percentage of work performed by Blackprofessionals (architects, engineers, contractors, etc)in connection with the $185-million Pauley Pavilionrenovation a UCLA representative responded:

“While the University of California has an out-reach program to assure equal opportunity in busi-ness contracting, it has not had any mandatory partic-ipation goals for businesses designated as small or dis-advantaged since former California Governor PeteWilson eliminated the university’s then-AffirmativeAction Program in the 1990s. The exception to this is

when a project is fully or partially funded by a source(such as the federal government) that requires suchparticipation as part of the conditions of funding. ThePauley Pavilion project contained no federal funding.”

According to the same UCLA source, no Blackbusinesses participated in the Pauley Pavilion project.Overall, two Hispanic firms received contracts worthapproximately 6 percent of the $185-million project.There was also no Black business outreach as part ofthe $177-million renovation of the Rose Bowl, whereUCLA is the major tenant, according to the RoseBowl Operating Co.’s renovation director.

The $70-million John McKay Center was fundedby donors who “recognize the importance of USC’slegendary athletic tradition and want to do their partto promote athletic excellence and educational excel-lence,” according to the USC website. USC also spent$140 million to build the Galen Center, developedspecifically to transform people’s perceptions of aschool known mostly for football to attract some ofthe great players in the L.A. area who have bypassedUSC due largely to a subpar arena. Neither Pat

Haden nor John McKay responded to our request forinformation about outreach efforts or participationby Black businesses or professionals in the construc-tion and development of these projects.

Fortune 500 companies have expanded the defini-tion of “minority” and/or “socioeconomic disadvan-taged individual” to include Asian-Indian and Asian-Pacific Americans, GLBTs, Hispanics, NativeAmerican and White women while basically exclud-ing or de-emphasing Black businesses and profession-als. According to Diversity Business, more than 60percent of the $11-billion Asian-Pacific spending in2008 would have been in the Black American catego-ry in 1998. The shift in these dollars represents a hugesetback for both mature Black business owners andstartup entrepreneurs who, by all measure, continueto be underrepresented and economically deprived

(limited) of participation in the American dream. The spending by the athletic departments of col-

leges and universities with major basketball and foot-ball programs, as well as the NBA and NFL, representan untapped source of opportunity for Black businessesand professionals. The least a grateful college or uni-versity or NBA or NFL owners can do is to set asidesome portion of its third-party spending to benefit theowners of the businesses who produce the raw materialand labor which are the elements of the multibillionproduction process of basketball and football.

As the Holy Bible (NIV) puts it: “Who serves as asoldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyardand does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock anddoes not drink the milk? . . . when the plowmanplows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do soin the hope of sharing in the harvest.”

■ Garcetti and Greuel will battle for mayor

BY CYNTHIA E. GRIFFINOW MANAGING EDITOR

Veteran politician Curren Price Jr. will face-offagainst first-time political candidate Ana Cubas onMay 21 during the general election for the LosAngeles City Council 9th District seat.

Based on unofficial voting results from Tuesday,Price (27.22 percent) and Cubas (23.96 percent) werethe top two vote-getters in a field of seven.

Cubas bested veteranpolitician Mike Davis(who collected 15.69 per-cent of ballots) as well asDavid Roberts, a longtimeCity Hall operative muchlike herself.

The election was char-acterized by low voterturnout—292,760 of about1.81 million went to thepolls citywide, and onlyabout 9,000 of the 77,154 voters registered in the 9thDistrict cast ballots.

Additionally, the South L.A. Power Coalitiondecried some of the racially divisive tactics and rhet-oric that plagued the race.

“Today, our neighbors came together and decidedthey are ready for new leadership in the 9th District,”said Senator Curren Price during his campaign cele-bration Tuesday night. “You know, looking at all ofyou tonight, I am again reminded that the 9thDistrict’s biggest strength is its people. The diversityin this room, and throughout the 9th is our greatestasset. Some may have tried to divide us, but youshowed all of Los Angeles what can be accomplishedwhen all of our communities come together for acommon purpose.”

Curren continued,“throughout this cam-paign, I have been hum-bled by the broad supportyou have given to us.Street by street, block byblock, neighborhood byneighborhood, we haveheard your voices.”

Cubas says she is notsurprised but encouragedby her showing in the poll.“Our campaign is a community-focused effort andthe people responded to that message.

“We walked precincts and talked to thousands ofvoters. We visited a diversity of churches from Baptistto Catholic to nondenominational. And talked tonearly everyone in every part of the district,” Cubasnoted.

In other unofficial election results, Eric Garcetti(32.93 percent) will meet face-to-face with WendyGreuel (29.19 percent) in May for the city’s job as thetop elected official.

The other major candidates vying for the mayor’sseat finished in this order: Kevin James (16.36 per-cent); Jan Perry (15.93 percent); and EmanuelAlberto Pleitez (4.10 percent).

In the race for city attorney, incumbent Carmen

Trutanich (30.17 percent) trailed challenger and for-mer city councilman Mike Feurer (43.76 percent).They will meet again in May. Greg Smith came inthird with 17.43 percent of ballots cast.

Ron Galperin (37.12percent) and Dennis P.Zine (37.03 percent) willface-off for city controller.

The City Council willalso welcome three newmembers—AssemblymanBob Blumenfield (51.62percent) will represent theWest San Fernando Valleyin District 3. He defeatedfive opponents, includingJoyce J. Person (19.96 per-cent) and Elizabeth Badger (9.39 percent).

In Council District 7, Filipe Fuentes (51.32 per-cent) defeated Nicole Chase (27 percent), KrysteeClark (10.87 percent) and Jesse David Barron (10.79percent) to replace termed out Richard Alarcon.Fuentes will represent residents in Northeast SanFernando Valley.

Mike Bonin (61.19) defeated Tina Hess (17.95percent), Frederick Sutton (11.64 percent) andOdysseus Bostick (9.19 percent) to replace District11th Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who representedthe coastal communities of the Westside and did notrun for re-election.

■ It’s just a matter of time before thecuts take effect

BY CYNTHIA E. GRIFFINOW MANAGING EDITOR

America is now living with a sequester—across-the-board budget cuts negotiated between PresidentBarack Obama and the Congress more than a yearago that are part of an effort to reduce spendingwithout raising taxes.

The option does exist to create legislation thatcould change the impact of the sequester cuts, but thereality is that it most likely will not happen althoughthere is talk about trying to do some damage controlduring voting on a continuing resolution that will

keep the federal government operating throughSeptember. The resolution must be passed by March27. The House of Representatives is expected to voteon a bill on Thursday, while the Senate should takeup legislation next week.

Republicans may try to include in the continuingresolution legislation a requirement that the sequestercuts made in defense spending be replaced.

No such talk has been heard about replacing themoney taken from domestic programs.

According to Senate minority leader MitchMcConnell, (R-Ky.), who spoke about the issue on aCNN news show, Republicans are determined to cutspending.

“The question is are we going to keep the com-mitment we made to the American people a year anda half ago—a bipartisan agreement signed by the

president—that we would reduce spending withoutraising taxes by this amount of money in this fiscalyear?

“We think it’s important to the American peopleto keep this commitment. And we’re going to do it.We’re willing to talk to him (President Obama) aboutreconfiguring the same amount of spending reduc-tion over the next six months.

McConnell described the 2.4 percent in cutsrequired in the $3.6 trillion national budget as “mod-est.”

Half of the cuts mandated must be made bySeptember, and the other half must be made in thefirst half of the next fiscal year.

According to one Democratic source, what makesthe process especially difficult for the federal agenciesis that they are in the middle of the fiscal year, havesmaller budgets and have already spent some money.

Many federal agencies have yet to finally deter-mine exactly how they will make the cuts, althoughthey do know how much must be made.

Because of the economic downturn witnessedover the past five years, the CFRC has helped histori-cally underserved entrepreneurs bridge the monetarygap between qualifying for a loan from a major lend-ing institution—a feat increasingly difficult becauseof fluctuating investor confidence—and trying tofinance a business on a “shoestring” budget.

Through micro loans, peer lending and smallbusiness loans, CFRC has provided commercial lend-ing opportunities to more than 100,000 low-incomeclients.

As part of its 20th anniversary celebration onMonday, the organization will host its 2013 PowerLuncheon and awards ceremony at noon at the JWMarriott at L.A Live downtown.

Chris Schauble, co-anchor of the KTLA 5 MorningNews, will be master of ceremonies, with stateController John Chiang giving a keynote address.

“Our organization helps to spur economic growthin underserved communities,” said Forescee Hogan-Rowles, CFRC president and chief executive officer.“We focus on large businesses and corporations whowill do business with in underserved areas, particu-larly South Los Angeles, but throughout Los AngelesCounty as well. We appreciate our sponsors and payspecial tribute to them and others who haveembraced our philosophy of building business andcommunity together.”

CFRC offers a range of loans from, $500 to $5,000micro loans, to $5,000 to $30,000 seed loans, and$30,000 to $250,000 expansion loans.

Its fundraising,lending and pro-gram developmentefforts have real-ized more than $15million in localeconomic activity,and the creationand retention ofmore than 3,400 ofjobs. The econom-ic impact of theirwork has resultedin nearly $120 mil-lion invested backinto the county,according to findings from the U.S. Department ofHousing and Urban Development.

The Capital Partners auspice is a peer-lendingprogram. This group-based model, patterned after asimilar program under way in poverty-strickenBangladesh, gathers three or more persons wishing tocontribute to a business model. A “coach” fromCFRC conducts business modules where all compo-nents of the business plan are reviewed over a six- toeight-week period.

“You’d be surprised what a $500 loan can do for astart-up business,” Hogan-Rowles explained. “Thesmall business owner typically can’t get the tradition-al loan, but that $500 can help start you out withphone service and utilities; maybe you need a laptop,some office furniture to help you open for business.As the business grows, and if you stick with the busi-ness plan, you can rise to an expansion loan.”

Participants must be in business or have a clearbusiness plan. They must present two forms of gov-ernment-issued identification, show proof of an addi-tional source of income and provide proof of sixmonth’s residency. To qualify for a loan, they must bepart of a group (usually from three to eight persons)that has formed or the participants have joined.

For a member to receive the loan, the group mustunanimously agree, because it makes all loan deci-sions. The group can receive a new loan once all mem-bers are current with payments. To move to a higherloan step, the previous loan must have been repaid.

New business owners are urged to register andcomplete CFRC Capital Partners six-hour businesstraining seminar at $75 per person. CFRC hosts reg-ular information, orientation and training sessions.

The luncheon awards recipients will be EricJohnson of Thatz Tyte Designs for “Outstanding SmallBusiness Achievement,” Preferred Bank (“OutstandingCommunity Reinvestment Partner”) and CarlDickerson of Dickerson Employee Benefits, who willreceive the Robert A. McNeely Trailblazer Award.

■ Gov. Jerry Brown’s budget considered a“mixed bag” for minorities

BY OW STAFF

Gov. Brown’s proposed budget could helpmove California toward greater equity andfairness for the communities of color thatmake up the state’s majority, but serious ques-tions remain, reports a just-releasedGreenlining Institute analysis presented at astate capitol briefing recently.

The briefing, “Filling in the Gaps: TheGovernor’s 2013-14 Budget Proposal andCalifornia’s Diverse Majority,” was co-spon-sored by the California Latino LegislativeCaucus, the Asian and Pacific IslanderLegislative Caucus and the CaliforniaLegislative Black Caucus.

Scheduled speakers included Senator

Ricardo Lara, chair of the California LatinoLegislative Caucus; Orson Aguilar, executivedirector of The Greenlining Institute; CarlaSaporta, MPH, health policy director at TheGreenlining Institute; and Daniel Byrd, Ph.D.,The Greenlining Institute research director.

“The governor’s proposed budget con-tains a number of proposals that could moveus toward a fairer, more equitable state,” saidSaporta. “But major questions remain aboutseveral provisions, which might do seriousharm to the most vulnerable Californians.”

The analysis is available online athttp://stage.greenlining.org.

Key findings included:• The governor’s Local Control Funding

Formula for schools has the worthy goal of aid-ing economically disadvantaged districts andstudents, but large variables, still to be clarified,could undercut these good intentions.

• Expansion of Medi-Cal coverage willbenefit millions of Californians, two-thirds ofwhom will be people of color. But cost-shar-ing by counties could have a significantimpact on the many who will continue to relyon county safety-net hospitals and clinics.

• The governor’s proposal to give the UCand CSU systems equal increases for coreinstructional costs ignores the demographicand financial differences between the twosystems. The proposed cap on the number ofunits a student can earn while receiving statesubsidies may work to the disadvantage oflow-income students of color.

• Continuing cuts to funding forCalWORKs and childcare will cause ongoinghardship in a state whose poverty rate hasincreased to 16.6 percent of the population.

■ Like death and taxes, elections continue

BY DAVID L. HORNEOW CONTRIBUTOR

This week there was another important election.It was just in time to remind us all of what democ-racy really means—citizen participation in the reg-ular process of choosing representatives to makepublic policy choices for us. Governance by the governed it is called.

Surely, some of us were not ready for another round of such choices. Wehave not all kept up with the candidates’ credentials, their positions on theissues, what the issues actually are, who the people are who are runningand what initiatives or new tax proposals are also awaiting our decisions.

We’re tired and worn out from the last batch of these irritants thatwere merely yesterday, weren’t they? Why don’t the powers that be justleave us all alone? Why must we be constantly bedeviled by one civicchoice or another? Shouldn’t government just take care of governmentbusiness and leave us be?

That’s not how it works. Like death, the seasons and taxes, electionswill be in our collective faces no matter how we feel and what ourmoods are. That’s what republicanism means. No monarch to decide forus. It is our constant collective responsibility to pay attention and put inthe necessary time and energy to choose those who will govern us.

Sure, we can refuse to participate. We can just not vote and easilyexcuse ourselves. But the elections will come and go anyway. They willstill happen and still be decided, with or without our individual votes.That’s part of the social contract of representative government asdescribed by John Locke a few hundred years ago. Opting out of thatcontract because one just does not feel like it right now won’t stop the

■ Sorry doesn’t always make it right: TheOnion and Quvenzhané Wallis

BY JULIANNE MALVEAUXTRICE EDNEY WIRE COLUMNIST

In the midst of the Academy Awards drama onSunday, Feb. 24, one of the Onion’s writers (wedon’t know who he is—I doubt a she would havestooped so low), described the lovely and talented child QuvenzhanéWallis with a filthy word that took her all the way out of her name.

Using a very crude word for female genatalia, the Onion writerobserved that she was a c***.

Excuse me! Blessedly hundreds of people shared their outrage in theelectronic media so forcefully that the Onion’s CEO, Steve Hannah,apologized. But somehow sorry doesn’t always make it right. In my letterto the Onion, I’ve asked for reparations, or an effort to repair the harmthat was done. I’m sharing my statement and hope you, too, will share itwith the “leaders” of The Onion. Until they respond, I think it whollyappropriate to withhold support from them.

As Dr. King once said, “to cooperate with evil is to be evil.” Tobesmirch a child, whether you are a satirical publication or not, is noth-ing but evil.

Counting the Cost■ Kenya at a crossroads

BY HARRY C. ALFORDOW CONTRIBUTOR

It is quite easy for one to fall in love with theEast African nation of Kenya. God has blessed itwith great beauty. Snowcapped mountains, greatsavannahs filled with millions of wildlife creaturesin their natural habitat, bustling cities like Nairobi and Mombasa and apeople who are so proud of their heritage. We first started going toKenya in 2006 and were making much progress through the KenyaChamber of Commerce and Industry and the embassies of both ournation and Kenya.

We took three trade missions that included stays at the AmboseliNational Park (with a full view of Mount Kilimanjaro) and twice at thegreat Massa Mara where the great annual migration takes place. Wewere coming to terms with a memorandum of understanding and astrategic plan. Business was about to take place in an historical fashion.

Then something unexpected occurred from a United States perspec-tive. There was a national election in December 2007. The slate of candi-dates worked the nation up into an emotional and violent frenzy. Whatwe viewed on television and through the Internet was something beauti-ful turning into something very ugly. Political parties turned into tribalcoalitions—there are 39 distinct tribes in Kenya. The aftermath ofElection Day was chaos, mayhem and violence, including multiple mur-ders. This post-election violence left more than 1,200 dead and 600,000people internally displaced. Even members of our Kenya Chamber ofCommerce went into hiding and said, “We will get back to you when

Dear Mr. Hannah:While your apology for the vile statement made by

your staff regarding the wonderful and talentedQuvenzhané Wallis is duly noted, it is an insufficientresponse to the heinous insult lobbed at a 9-year-oldgirl; additionally, the community of women andAfrican American women in particular. Your apologyis received, but not accepted. You must mitigate thedamage that your comments caused, not only forQuvenzhané, but also for the women who, reveling inher success, were damaged by the sucker punch weexperienced when your writer found it acceptable todescribe a 9-year-old girl in a crude term for genitalia,a term that most adult women would recoil at.

Your apology might be more readily received if,

1. The disciple, (the offensive writer), was detailedand their name revealed so that they can be monitoredfor their gendered racism in the future.

2. Your company made amends to bothQuvenzhané and the community that supports her by:

Offering the organizations that monitor gender andracial discrimination a financial contribution. My sug-gestion is that you direct at least $50,000 each to TheBlack Women’s Roundtable, The NationalOrganization for Women, and the National Council ofNegro Women. Additionally, I would suggest that youoffer $50,000 to the charity of Quvenzhanés choice.

Meeting with representatives of African Americanand women’s organizations in Washington, D.C., on adate that is mutually agreeable, but no later thanMarch 31 to discuss the process behind this insult andthe ways that future occurrences will be prevented.

Share information on the number of women andpeople of color on your staff, and share the ways thatthey impact editorial decisions.

3. Your company provides scholarship opportunitiesto African American women students at historicallyblack colleges and universities (HBCUs) to indicate thatyou do not see young women in disparaging ways, butas scholars. There are two HBCUs that are women’sinstitutions—Bennett College for Women in Greensboro,North Carolina, and Spelman College in Atlanta,Georgia. At least one scholarship for each of these insti-tutions would be an effective way to apologize.

4. Your company provides speakers to the collegesthat will have you to, at no fee to the colleges, explainthe difference between satire and offense. To notifyinterested colleges, it is my suggestion that your compa-ny take out a full page advertisement in Diverse Issuesin Higher Education to both reprint your apology andoffer the opportunity for your staff to meet on collegecampuses.

Please note that, as a former president of an HBCUfocused on women, I was repelled by your writer’s com-ments. Taking them down and then apologizing is thesimple way out for this offense. I call upon you to takeproactive action to redress this wrong.

Let me also note that I have no invested interest inany of the organizations I have mentioned here (exceptthat I am president emerita of Bennett College for

Women, and my association with young women makesthis all the more offensive).

I am asking friends and colleagues to withdraw anysupport to The Onion until your apology is enhancedby action. I am also asking all women’s and AfricanAmerican organizations to join my insistence that yourapology is insufficient.

I do look forward to your response.

If anyone from Chicago is reading, perhaps youcould organize a picket outside their office! Sorrydoesn’t always make it right.

Criticizing the choices made and the actions ofthose elected after the fact will just be noise ignoredby the majority. No participation; no right to criticizewhat was done. That’s part of the contract. Your rightto freely express yourself will not be negatively affect-ed; it will simply be trumped by the collective right ofthose who did participate to disregard what you say.Life, and democratic government, will merely move

on without you, and the interests of others who didvote will hold sway.

So what are the odds? How the Valley folk votehas decided L.A. mayoral elections for more than twodecades, and that pattern shows no evidence ofchange.

Since there is almost no chance of any of the may-oral candidates getting a convincing enough majorityto win the race outright, and this particular electionbeing billed as a primary anyway, getting a secondchance at the brass ring in June is the thing to go for.

Shake off your somnolence, citizens! Vote andprotect your right to vote as you see fit in this elec-tion and all others in the future. We cannot take thisdemocracy we’re used to for granted—it can slipaway right before our eyes. Clearly, you have noticedthat the right to vote for some citizens is being chal-lenged again in the courts and in several Republican-

led state governments, and, truth be told, if theycome for us in the morning, you can be sure yourturn is coming in the night.

Our freedoms here are not free, nor is our mainte-nance of them. In fact, the hard truth is that demo-cratic freedom is expensive and the costs keep rising.

■ The only R&B station with a continous livelocal air staff

BY MERDIES HAYESOW CONTRIBUTOR

KJLH-FM (102.3) is among the most popular andinnovative radio stations in Los Angeles. It debutedin 1977 with an R&B format initiated by originalowner John Lamar Hill (owner of the adjacentAngelus Funeral Home), who offered stereo broad-cast of the recording industry’s most popular Blackartists.

Music superstar Stevie Wonder purchased the sta-tion in 1979 and incorporated its call letters in its on-air slogan: “Kindness, Love, Love and Happiness.”Since its inception, KJLH has become the leader inurban contemporary music with its R&B and classicsoul format. The station also broadcasts Hip Hop,Gospel and smooth Jazz music. Its primary audienceis African American, age 35 to 60 years.

KJLH has had to compete against a series ofnewer stations who adopted the urban contemporaryformat. Among them are KACE-FM, KPWR-FM,Power 106, KHHT-FM (Hot 92.3) and KKBT-FM,forcing a number of format changes. With severalstations in Los Angeles broadcasting to the samemarket, KJLH in 2001 became a more mainstream,urban music outlet when the aforementioned stationsbegan to chip away at its original audience. Over theyears the playlist has included urban smooth Jazzcrossovers, R&B oldies, current R&B artists and a

selection of Gospel musicIn demonstrating its devotion to its listening audi-

ence, KJLH offers an extensive lineup of religiousprogramming, including Gospel on weekday morn-ings and all day on Sunday. The station is the onlyR&B station with a continuous live and local air staff.

When competitors KRBV-FM and KHHT-FM in2008 abandoned their urban contemporary formats,

KJLH became the last such radio station in LosAngeles to serve a primary African American listen-ing audience. The next year KJLH added even more

Hip Hop artists to its playlist and focuses today pri-marily on a younger listenership with artists like JCole, Drake, Lil’ Wayne, Jay Z and Nicki Minaj.

Over the years a number of famous broadcast per-sonalities would emanate from KJLH, includingLawrence Tanter, the public address announcer forthe Los Angeles Lakers, and comedian Steve Harvey.

The station’s latest branding, “Radio Free 102.3,”brought forth the slogan “Total Music Expression” toexpand the wide variety of music composed, pro-duced and performed by African Americans. KJLHoperates on 5,600 watts and is owned by Wonder’sTaxi Productions. A webcast is available at ListenLive 2 (http://v5.player.abacast.com/flash/player.php).The website is 102.3KJLH (http://www.kjlh.fm/).

***Bread for the World released a new analysis revealing thatAfrican American children suffer more hunger and poverty thando U.S. children as a whole. The analysis, titled “Hunger by theNumbers: Hunger and Poverty Among African AmericanChildren,” explores the latest figures, breaking down AfricanAmerican child poverty rates across several states and metro-politan areas. In Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kansas,Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania, African Americanchild poverty rates are double the overall child poverty rates. InIowa, the poverty rate for African American children is morethan triple the overall child poverty rate. Bread for the Worldlaunched its 2013 Offering of Letters campaign, “A Place at theTable,” to raise awareness about persistent hunger in the

United States and around the world, and to urge policymakersto find budget solutions without cutting essential programs. Thecampaign highlights the tireless work of churches and charitiesto end hunger. But also emphasizes that federal nutrition pro-grams are crucial to hungry people since the combined assis-tance of churches and charities across the country amounts toonly 4 percent of what the federal government provides.

UTAHSalt Lake Community College recently honored some of theAfrican American pioneers of the United States military’s fivebranches. The college launched a campaign during BlackHistory Month dedicated to the stories of military personnelthat don’t often get told. “Every year, Salt Lake CommunityCollege focuses on an aspect of Black History that is educa-tional and isn’t necessarily in the mainstream,” said Joy Tlou,SLCC public relations director. “In the past, we’ve put togetherprofiles of poets, visual artists, musicians, and this year wedecided to take a closer look at some of the lesser-knownaccomplishments African Americans have made to our coun-try’s military history.” Perhaps the two most famous groupsprofiled by the college were the Tuskegee Airmen and BuffaloSoldiers. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African Americanmilitary aviators in the United States armed forces. These sol-diers fought in World War II. Buffalo Soldiers were members ofthe all-Black U.S. Cavalry and Infantry Regiments founded in1866. They were also the first to serve as park rangers of U.S.national parks.

Once a foiled coup-plotter, the swashbuckling for-mer paratrooper was known for lengthy speeches oneverything from the evils of capitalism to the properway to conserve water while showering. He was thefirst of a wave of leftist presidents to come to powerin Latin America in the last dozen years.

As the most vocal U.S. adversary in the region, heinfluenced other leaders to take a similar stance.

But the last months of Chavez’ life were marked byan uncharacteristic silence as his health conditionbecame “complicated,” in the words of his government.

Chavez underwent a fourth surgery on Dec. 11 inCuba, and was not publicly seen again. A handful ofpictures released in February were the last images thepublic had of their president.

When first elected in 1999, Chavez launched an

ambitious plan to remake Venezuela, a major oil pro-ducer, into a socialist state in the so-called BolivarianRevolution. This movement took its name fromChavez’s idol, Simon Bolivar, who won independencefor many South American countries in the early 1800s.

“After many readings, debates, discussions, travelsaround the world, etcetera, I am convinced—and Ibelieve this conviction will be for the rest of my life—that the path to a new, better and possible world isnot capitalism. The path is socialism,” he said on hisweekly television program in 2005.

Chavez redirected much of the country’s vast oilwealth, which increased dramatically during histenure, to massive social programs for the country’spoor. He expanded the portfolio of the state-ownedoil monopoly to include funding for social “missions”worth millions of dollars. That helped pay for pro-grams that sought to eradicate illiteracy, provideaffordable food staples and grant access to highereducation, among other things.

In fact, according to the web site www.venezuel-analysis.com, as part of that effort, Chavez providedassistance to poor communities in America.

He provided relief assistance to the poverty strick-en and largely African American victims of theHurricane Katrina disaster. The head of Citgo, theU.S. subsidiary of Venezuela’s state owned oil compa-ny, set up disaster relief centers in Louisiana andTexas in the wake of the hurricane and providedhumanitarian aid to thousands of victims.

Volunteers based at Citgo refineries in LakeCharles, La. and Corpus Christi, Texas, providedmedical care, food and water to approximately 5,000people. In Houston, volunteers from Citgo headquar-ters provided similar assistance to 40,000 victims.

The firebrand South American leader also offeredto provide free eye surgery for poor Americans suf-fering from certain eye conditions during a 2005 visitto New York, where he toured the largely AfricanAmerican and Latino populated Bronx and was treat-ed like a veritable rock star.

The death of the Venezuelan president leaves asharply polarized country, with no clear successor forhis party and an untested opposition. Chavez’ passingmeans new elections will be held, although he had saidpreviously he wanted Maduro to succeed him.

At the same time, residents approved PropositionB, (58.03 vs. 41.96 percent) to amend the city charter

things are safe.” It just broke our hearts.Kenya was no longer suitable for business. At the

time of the aforementioned elections it had an eco-nomic growth rate of 7 percent. That went to anannual rate of 1.7 percent, which was an all-time lowfor the nation that is now 50 years past its independ-ence from the British Empire. Today, that rate ofgrowth is 4.5 percent, but it could greatly increasedepending on one thing—a smooth election thisspring. Kenya needs to show the business world thatit has corrected its ways and is ready for positivebusiness growth. The incidents mentioned above ledthe international business community to reduceinvestment and impose sanctions on the nation.

Hopefully, the leadership of Kenya has learnedfrom the mistake. As a result of a thorough investiga-tion, four prominent Kenyans have been charged bythe International Criminal Court (The Hague) forcrimes against humanity for organizing the above vio-lence. They will go on trial this April. Structurally, a lothas changed with Kenya’s political system, whichhopefully will change the outcomes of future elections.

In response to the disorganization after the lastelections, Kenya has written and accepted a new con-stitution. According to the Africa Business Initiativeof the International Division of the U.S. Chamber ofCommerce, some of the measures include:

1. Establishment of country governments (andcorresponding positions of county governor, civicward representative, and women county representa-tive). Now Kenya will be composed of 47 counties (asopposed to eight provinces.)

2. Formation of a senate, thus creating a bicamerallegislative body (known collectively as Parliament,which is now made up of the National Assembly andthe Senate).

3. Increased women’s representation; 47 seats wereadded to the National Assembly for women represen-tatives (elected from each of the counties). There arealso new “gender rules” (that every governing bodycan be composed of no more than two-thirds of thesame gender), which will be implemented progres-sively, starting with the 2013 election.”

This appears to be a very pro-democracy changefor the nation.

The primary election took place Monday. The sec-ond and runoff round will take place in early April.The two leading coalitions running for president andvice president are the Coalition for Reforms andDemocracy (CORD). Their candidates are RailaOdinga for president, and Kalonzo Musyoka for vicepresident. The other leading party is The JubileeCoalition, which has Uhuru Kenyatta running for pres-ident and William Ruto running for vice president.

Odinga is the current prime minister andMusyoka is the current vice president. I have metwith Prime Minister Odinga while visiting Mombasa.

This election has largely gone smoothly. But thereis one conundrum. Of the four suspects indicted bythe International Criminal Court, two are running inthe current race. Kenyatta and Ruto are accused oforganizing the mayhem following the past electionsand will go to trial immediately (coincidentally) afterthe upcoming runoff election. “Dear Lord, pleasebless Kenya with peace.”

Kenya is a nation full of promise. God has blessedit with just about every mineral and resource knownto earth. Its land is fertile and its people educated andbrilliant. Let them reach their potential. The ball isnow in their court, and the business world is watch-ing and hoping for the best.

■ The Gospel according tothe History Channel

BY GAIL CHOICEOW CONTRIBUTOR

It’s nice to know that in thisday and age the Bible still mat-ters to a lot of people. The pre-miere episode of the “The Bible,” made history forThe History Channel, which began airing Sunday at8 p.m. and will continue over the next four Sundays,culminating on Easter.

According to The History Channel, over its twotelecasts on premiere night, “The Bible” averaged14.8 million viewers, 5 million adults 18-49 and 5.6million adults 25-54. In the 8-10 p.m. premiere 13.1million total viewers flocked to “The Bible,” including4.6 million adults 25-54.

“The Bible” is the No. 1 cable entertainment tele-cast of the year. Leading into the premiere,history.com had it best day ever, and “The Bible”trended as No. 1 on Twitter with celebrities and influ-encers tweeting their own personal tune-in messages.

Nancy Dubuc, president of entertainment andmedia at A+E Networks, says, “The success of ‘TheBible’ has catapulted The History Channel into one ofthe most powerful brands across the media land-scape, and we could not be more thrilled and moreproud. We are the No. 1 cable entertainment telecastof the year to date. Leading into the premiere we hadthe best day ever on history.com, and ‘The Bible’trended No. 1 on Twitter. Clearly, there is a nation-wide groundswell that was waiting for this moment.Clearly, the passion for this project has resonatedwith our viewers and across the nation. We arethrilled, and the story is only just beginning.”

What remains to be seen is if this momentum willcontinue. Most Americans are familiar with manystories of the Bible so when the docudrama appearsto be rushing through a biblical story, it’s up to theaudience to fill in the gaps. But to the uninformed,what a great opportunity to open up your Bibles.

Executive producers Roma Downey and Mark

Burnett say, “Today,more people are dis-cussing God’s chosenpeople—Moses andAbraham—in one daythan ever before.We’ve been workingon this project for thepast four years now,and are deeply hon-ored to be given thisonce-in-a-generationopportunity tobreathe new visuallife into the Bible’s profound stories. The Bible givesmeaning and purpose to billions of people around theworld. We believe the success of the series will sparkthe curiosity of billions more.”

Indeed, the producers may have had a heavenlycalling. You may remember Roma Downey from thevery popular “Touched by an Angel” series, asMonica. Downey has said that she and her husband“felt called to do this.”

Hubby Mark Burnett is also a familiar name intelevision. Burnett is an award-winning executiveproducer of American and international television.Currently, he produces shows including “The Voice,”“Survivor,” “The Celebrity Apprentice,” “Shark Tank,”and the “2013 People’s Choice Awards.” Burnett haswon four Emmy Awards.

Actor, singer and voice actor, Keith David servesas narrator on the project. David’s rich, deep voicecan be heard in such favorites as “The Princess andthe Frog” and “Coraline.”

David has received Emmy Awards for his narra-tion of two Ken Burns documentaries: “The War”and “Unforgivable Blackness,” and was nominated forhis narration of “Jazz.” He received a daytime Emmynomination for his work in Showtime’s “The TigerWood’s Story.”

History Channel’s “The Bible” is an awe-inspiringproduction that delivers. It is impossible to tell all thestories of the Bible thoroughly, but the productiondoes its best to give the essence of the stories andleaves it up to the audience to learn for themselvesthe power of the Bible.

In April, “The Bible” series will arrive on Blu-rayand DVD with hours of exclusive special features andextras making it a must-own for every home. A bookseries by Mark and Roma is currently available instores.

WHEREAS, the Californiahousing market has shownonly marginal improvementsince the start of the 2008national economic downturnand the related housing marketcollapse; and

WHEREAS, this prolongeddownturn, aggravated by highrates of unemployment, withinthe City of Carson, continuesto keep the number offoreclosed properties in theCity of Carson uncommonlyhigh as unemployedhouseholds struggle to makemonthly mortgage payments;and

WHEREAS, such homes areacquired by banks, financialinstitutions and large realestate conglomerates thathave little to no connection tothe communities in which theyown property; and

WHEREAS, most of theseforeclosed homes are vacatedprior to the conclusion of theforeclosure process. Homes sitempty for months, and evenremain vacant for years,awaiting the final foreclosure

sale; often creating anattractive public nuisance.Some homes are in violation ofmultiple aspects of Citybuilding codes. As themortgagees are often timeslarge financial institutionslocated out of state,enforcement of building codeviolations poses an immensechallenge; and

WHEREAS, City codeviolations include, and may inthe future foresee ably include,among other things multipleviolations, unoccupiedbuildings susceptible tovandalism and/or openstructures rendering themunsafe and dangerous, yardsfull of litter and trash, unlockedhouses, overgrown grass andbushes, and unsecuredswimming pools that are notonly a threat to children butbecome breeding grounds forinfectious insects such asmosquitoes; and

WHEREAS, this problem existsnot only in Carson andCalifornia, but nationwide.Banks and financial institutionsrefuse to maintain properties,and City building inspectorshave great difficulty indetermining who theresponsible parties are andhow to contact them to correctcode violations; and WHEREAS, through theamendments of Chapter 7 andChapter 9, the City canimplement a new programdesigned to prevent andaddress the adverse impactslarge numbers of vacantproperties have the potential tocreate; and

WHEREAS, the inventory ofvacant foreclosed propertieswithin the City of Carsonremains relatively high as aresult of the prolonged natureof the current economicdownturn; and

WHEREAS, according to mosteconomic forecasts there islittle indication that the adverseeconomic conditions that haveled to historically highforeclosure rates will fullyabate any time prior to the year2016.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITYCOUNCIL OF THE CITY OFCARSON, CALIFORNIA, DOESHEREBY ORDAIN ASFOLLOWS:

Sect ion 1 .The foregoingrecitals are true and correct.

Section 2.The City Councilhas conducted a publichearing on February 7, 2013,to consider the adoption of thisordinance, including theamendment to the provisionsof Chapters 7 and 9 of theCarson Municipal Code.

Section 3.

The City Council finds anddetermines as follows:

A. When the owner of aforeclosed vacant residentialproperty fails to activelymaintain and manage thebuilding, the building canbecome a major cause ofblight in both residential andnonresidential neighborhoods.Foreclosed vacant residentialproperties which are boarded,substandard and or long-termvacancies discourageeconomic development anddepreciate property values.

B. It is a responsibility of theforeclosed vacant residentialproperty owner to prevent thecondition of unoccupiedproperty from becoming aburden or blight to theneighborhood and or a threatto the public health, safety,and welfare.

C. Once vacant building in aneighborhood that is notactively monitored by theowner for maintenance andappropriate security can be thecore and cause of spreadingblight.

D. Owners of multipleforeclosed vacant residentialproperties, either concurrentlyor serially, that are blighting tothe community are significant

problems in the City. Ownersof multiple properties who failto correct deficiencies andblighted conditions contributeto the decline ofneighborhoods to a greaterextent than owner-occupiedresidences. It is in the interestof the welfare ofneighborhoods that owners ofmultiple vacant residentialproperties who fail to maintainproperties be subject toimposition of higher penaltiesin order to encourage theseowners to maintain theirproperties or correct violationsof proposed Chapter 7 orproposed Chapter 9, in aprompt manner.

E. Without the legalmechanisms provided underChapters 7 and 9, the Citywould not be able to addressproblems and potentialdangers to the communityassociated with the largeinventory of unoccupiedresidential. Accordingly, theCity Council hereby finds anddetermines that the changesapplicable to chapters 7 and 9is a necessary and reasonableresponse to the ongoingadverse economic conditionsthat continues to plague theState of California and the Cityof Carson.
