The Downtown Community Planmay be the headliner for the July 11City Council Meeting but the open-ing act is also worth your attention.
The Consent Calendar includesitems considered routine oradministrative in nature. Consentagenda items are routinely passedby the City Council with little orno discussion from elected officialsor the public. However, many ofthe items have been part of publicdiscussion in the past andCouncilmembers have the abilityto ask for discussion of a specificitem on the calendar.
Consent Calendar items for themeeting include finalizing a contractwith the new City Attorney and sev-eral items related to the city’s ongo-ing pursuit of water sustainability.
On July 11, Council will be askedto approve a contract with HelenLane Dilg as the new City Attorney.
Former City Attorney Marsha
Moutrie announced her intent toretire in 2016 and City Hall conduct-ed a nationwide search before choos-ing Santa Monica resident Dilg.
Council announced Dilg as theirchoice to replace Moutrie last monthand state law mandates her salary bediscussed and approved publicly.Dilg will make $283,872 annually.
“The vote on the contract willestablish her salary at $23,656 permonth and fulfill that legalrequirement,” said the staff report.
Water is a significant theme forthe rest of the calendar.
Staff are recommending a$100,000 modification to theexisting contract withConserveTrack, LLC to updatesoftware used to process and trackthe city’s water neutrality ordi-nance. If approved, the modifica-tion will bring the total 12-yearamended agreement to $279,635,with future year funding contin-gent on Council budget approval.

DowntownSanta Monica Public Library presents Authors on Architecture: Buckner on Lyman
Join the Society of Architectural Historians, Sothern California Chapter (SAH/SCC)and the Santa Monica Public Library as they celebrate the work of architect Frederic P.Lyman on Saturday, July 8, at 1 p.m.
SAH/SCC member Cory Buckner discusses the little-known work of this inventive andskilled architect practicing in Los Angeles during the 1960s and 1970s. The work isdetailed in Buckner’s new book The Lyman House and the Work of Fredrick P. Lyman.
Lyman (1927-2005) received his Master’s in Architecture from Yale University. Aftergraduation, he returned to California where he purchased a lot in Malibu and built hisiconic Lyman Residence. The presentation features a treasure trove of Lyman’s perspec-tive drawings — all carefully rendered in colored pencil. Lyman’s use of color is abstractrather than naturalistic and the viewer feels the grain of the wood and weight of therocks in his compositions.
An architect as well as an author, Buckner is well known for her books CrestwoodHills: The Chronicle of Modern Utopia and A. Quincy Jones. She has also written forLA Architect, The Los Angeles Times, Dwell, Metropolitan Home and many other pub-lications.
This program is free and all ages are welcome. Space is limited and on a first-arrivalbasis. For more information, visit smpl.org or contact the Santa Monica Public Library at(310) 458-8600. The Santa Monica Public Library is wheelchair-accessible. For specialdisabled services, call Library Administration (310) 458-8606 one week prior to theevent. The Main Library is directly served by Big Blue Bus routes 1, R10 and 18. The ExpoLine and other bus routes stop nearby. Ride your bike. Bicycle parking racks are avail-able at the library.

LOS ANGELESSpiking temperatures, fire danger in Southwest US heat wave
A heat wave blanketing the U.S. Southwest has toppled temperature records, raisedwildfire danger and sent residents to pools, beaches and even fountains for cool relief.
The mercury in Utah was expected to remain in triple digits Thursday, a day after SaltLake City’s airport reached a record 105 degrees, the National Weather Service said.
In downtown Los Angeles, kids on vacation from school cooled off in the fountains ofGrand Park. Officials warned people to avoid strenuous activity during the day on Friday,when the worst heat was expected across Southern California.
Officials issued red flag warnings for fire danger in Santa Barbara County’s mountainsand south coast due to dry, hot winds starting Thursday evening.
To the north in the Sierra Nevada, fire warnings were in effect from Sequoia toYosemite, while flood warnings due to snowmelt are posted in northern Mono County inCalifornia and southern Lyon County in Nevada.
Excessive heat warnings were also in place in Arizona, where temperatures in Phoenixcould hit 117 (47 Celsius) Friday. That’s only a few degrees less than the record-breakingheat that baked the state last month.
Las Vegas, where the mercury could hit 113 degrees (45 degrees Celsius) during theday Friday, won’t get much of a release at night, said weather service meteorologistChelsea Kryston. Overnight temperatures will linger at around 90 (32 Celsius).
The heat building into the weekend results from high pressure over the desert.Spiking temperatures will be accompanied by more moisture moving up from Mexico
that could add humidity to the heat wave in some areas.— ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCOCalifornia Supreme Court limits building permit lawsuits
The California Supreme Court says property owners can’t file lawsuits challengingrestrictions in building permits once they construct the project.
The court’s unanimous ruling on Thursday came in a dispute between coastal home-owners in San Diego County over construction of a seawall.
But legal experts say it has implications for landowners throughout the state.The state high court said landowners cannot accept the benefits of a government
issued building permit by constructing the project, but then challenge any burdens thepermit imposes in the form of restrictions on the development.
The court said allowing such challenges could leave agencies with no way to addressa project’s impacts. The ruling was a victory for the California Coastal Commission andcities throughout California.
John Groen, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said the ruling was particularly bad forsmall property owners.

AT AGE TWO, ANDREW SUH CAME TOthe U.S. with his family in their quest for theAmerican dream. Today, he’s highly intelli-gent, self-deprecatingly funny and charm-ing. However, at 43, Andrew has spent morethan half of his life in prison.
Andrew had been an honor student. Inhigh school, he was class president for threestraight years, student body president in hissenior year and on scholarship at the presti-gious Providence College in Rhode Island.
While still a teenager, however, and undergreat duress, Andrew committed a terriblecrime. He received a 100-year prison sen-tence, ending his seemingly limitless future.Next Tuesday, July 11, Andrew’s appeal forclemency will be heard in Chicago and withit, his dream for a second chance at life.
In Korea, Andrew’s father and mother hadtwo children, a son, Byung Chul, 7 andCatherine, 5. A freak accident took the boy’slife for which Mr. Suh, a high-ranking mili-tary officer, blamed Catherine. In Koreanculture, a male heir to carry on the familyname is essential.
Under threat of divorce, Mr. Suhdemanded his wife bear him a son, eventhough she was over 40. A pharmacist, Mrs.Suh took fertility drugs and, almost miracu-lously, Andrew was born.
The Suhs immigrated to Chicago andsoon opened a small business. Andrewlearned English rapidly and became the“family translator,” making his father abun-dantly proud. Catherine, however, was fre-quently beaten by her father.
Even while in school, Andrew workedtirelessly in the family business. Like somany immigrants, with remarkable hardwork, the Suhs prospered. Meanwhile,Catherine discovered boys and developedremarkable manipulative skills.
When Catherine was 15, her father suspect-ed she was having sex. To purge the family’sshame, he poured gas over Catherine and him-self to set them on fire. “Let’s die together,” hesaid as 9-year-old Andrew watched in horror.(His mother wrestled the lighter from Mr. Suh.)
Not long after, Mr. Suh was diagnosed withterminal cancer. Andrew sat vigil by his father’shospital bed for over a month and was dubbed“The Good Son” in the Korean newspaper. Onhis deathbed, Mr. Suh solemnly instructedAndrew to protect his mother at all times.
In 1987, however, while Andrew was atschool, his mother was brutally murdered atthe family dry cleaners. It was clearly a ragekilling as she was stabbed thirty-five times inthe face and neck.
After the police left, Catherine’s boyfriend,Robert, moved in and told Andrew to mop uphis mother’s blood. (Imagine, at 13, that hor-rible task.) Andrew was suddenly an orphan.When Catherine turned 18, she becameAndrew’s guardian and surrogate mother.
Raiding Andrew’s $800,000 inheritance,she and Robert bought a town-home, a
nightclub, new cars and designer clothes.Andrew had been devoted to his father,then his mother and now it shifted toCatherine.
As Andrew went off to ProvidenceCollege he had no idea Catherine had a$250,000 life insurance policy on Robertand had a diabolical plan. On a visit homefrom college, Andrew listened in shock asCatherine told him Robert had murderedtheir mother.
Andrew insisted they immediately go tothe police. Catherine, however, pointed outthat she had been Robert’s alibi and she’d besent to prison. She said the only way to purgetheir family’s shame was for Andrew to mur-der Robert.
Thoroughly rejecting his sister’s idea,Andrew returned to college. Catherinephoned Andrew 66 times imploring him to“Be a good son to father and mother andsave our family’s honor” Completely lost,Andrew finally relented. Catherine senthim a plane ticket, provided the gun,staged the scene in their garage and luredRobert home early.
While I’m not a detective (and don’t playone on TV) my theory is Catherine mur-dered her mother or manipulated Robertinto doing it. Either way, in convincingAndrew to kill Robert, she got rid of the onlyperson who knew of her involvement.
While Andrew was sentenced to 100years, Catherine skipped town. (In absentia,she was given life without parole.) Sixmonths later, she was captured in Hawaiiwith a new boyfriend and a new identity.
The D.A. and police firmly believedCatherine was the mastermind and had con-trolled her brother. The judge now acknowl-edges there was considerable “mitigation” inAndrew’s favor and doesn’t oppose clemen-cy. (Neither does the victim’s brother.)
Forever remorseful for his crime,Andrew’s a mature 43-year-old man who,for the past 23 years, has been a model pris-oner. He’s earned certificates to teach otherinmates and is currently in the HospiceProgram, caring for dying inmates.
Andrew’s due to be released in 17 yearswhen he’ll be 60. With any luck, maybesooner. In the meantime, knowing the oddsare stacked against him, I write this asAndrew lives each day, with hope.
To learn more, Google “Andrew Suh YouTube” and click on the first link to theaward-winning documentary “The House ofSuh: A Good Son is Comitted for Life.”Andrew’s Clemency Hearing open to thepublic will be on July 11 in room 09-040 ofthe James R. Thompson Center,100 WRandolph St,Chicago, IL 60601. Jack can bereached at [email protected]

With sustainable, building and landscape supplies and water features for drought resistant landscape
BY SADIE GURMANAssociated Press
The Justice Department on Thursdayquestioned whether some so-called sanctu-ary cities responded honestly when askedwhether they follow the law on sharing thecitizenship status of people in their custodywith federal immigration authorities.
In a strongly worded statement, thedepartment said some of the 10 jurisdictionsunder scrutiny insist they are compliantwith the law while still defiantly refusing tocooperate with efforts to detain and deportimmigrants living in the country illegally.The Justice Department said it was review-ing policies of the jurisdictions to determinewhether they should lose some federal grantmoney for failing to prove they are adheringto federal immigration law.
The cities include New York, Chicago, NewOrleans and Philadelphia, which said in its let-ter to the department that the city was adheringto the law even while refusing to collect infor-mation on residents’ immigration statuses.
Also on the list are two states —California and Connecticut — along withMiami-Dade County in Florida; CookCounty in Illinois; Milwaukee County inWisconsin; and Clark County in Nevada.
The locales were singled out last year bythe department’s inspector general for havingrules that hinder the ability of local lawenforcement to communicate with federalofficials about the immigration status of peo-ple they have detained. The cities disagreedwith that assessment, saying their rules com-port with the specific section of federal lawthat bars municipalities from forcing localofficials to keep certain information fromfederal immigration authorities.
“They are having it both ways now,” saidLeon Fresco, who led the Justice Department’sOffice of Immigration Ligation during theObama administration. “The cities are saying,we will not in any way do anything that affir-matively increases the amount of immigrationenforcement that is occurring in our city.Having said that, if a federal official asks us forinformation, we will provide this information.”
The move was the latest by the Trumpadministration to crack down on locationsthat have been characterized as sanctuarycities. It follows the signing of an executiveorder that went also went after federalmoney going to such locations, but a judgelater blocked that, saying the president couldnot set new conditions on spendingapproved by Congress.
The Justice Department contends the exec-utive order applies to a relatively smallamount of money, specifically the few grants
that require localities to comply with theinformation-sharing law. Fresco said that nar-row standard likely means many cities will beconsidered in compliance, even if they remaindefiant of Trump immigration policies.
“They are asserting strict technical com-pliance, but they are not asserting that theyactually affirmatively provide informationto the federal government,” he said.
THE CITIES ON THURSDAY STOOD BY THEIR POLICIES:
—Cook County, Illinois, provided feder-al officials an eight-page legal opinionasserting its compliance, and adding “TheUnited States Constitution, however, limitsthe authority of the federal government toimpose its immigration obligations ontostate and local governments.”
—Chicago also claimed it was following thelaw. “But make no mistake, Chicago will con-tinue to be a welcoming city and stand up forthe values that have made us a beacon of hopefor immigrants and refugees from around theworld for generations,” city spokeswomanJennifer Martinez said in a statement.
— Miami-Dade County sent a 423-pagedocument to the Justice Department withinformation on the process its jailers followto notify immigration authorities, notifyingthem of people who were set to be releasedand had been previously wanted byImmigration and Customs Enforcement forpossible deportation.
— Milwaukee County attorney MargaretDaun warned that if grant funding is pulled,“the County would avail itself of all legaloptions available to it and raise numerouslegal arguments.”
— New Orleans reminded the JusticeDepartment that it adopted its immigrationstatus policy in accordance with a federalconsent decree on police reforms that it nego-tiated with the Justice Department duringPresident Barack Obama’s administration. Acourt-appointed monitor reviewed andapproved the policy language, the city noted.
— And the sheriff in Clark County,Nevada, sent more than 100 pages of docu-ments he said demonstrate police and jailersin Las Vegas cooperate with immigrationauthorities, noting that some jail officers are“deputized to carry out specific immigrationofficer duties” and are expected to collaboratewith Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Justice Dept. questions cities’immigration info sharing
“When you use this money to build morehousing, you generate more income more tax,more jobs and it helps spur the economy,” saidSen. Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat whoauthored the bill. “This will make a differencefor middle income families.”
Republican opponents disagreed, sayingit would hurt middle class people trying tobuy homes.
“I want to solve that problem, but I can’t doit on the backs of the emerging people whohave worked hard, trying to get their first houseor move their family into a home that wouldaccommodate their growing family,” said Sen.Joel Anderson, a Republican from Alpine.
Several Republicans said the Legislatureshould roll back regulations on housing construc-tion instead of passing Atkins’ bill. DemocraticGov. Jerry Brown has expressed similar concernabout spending on subsidized housing beforeremoving burdensome building restrictions.
Democrats argue that addressing the hous-ing crisis will require a combination of meas-ures that include funding for subsidized unitsand streamlining construction.
A number of housing bills are advancingthrough the Legislature, but none have passedboth houses and secured Brown’s signature.
The Senate also passed a bill giving MarinCounty a pass from complying with certainhousing density laws. The San Francisco BayArea county is already exempt from somelaws through 2023 and lawmakers voted toextend that through 2028.

“Since 2009, the City has used theConserveTrack data management softwaresystem to track and report on the City’swater conservation projects and programsincluding rebates, audits, ordinance viola-tions and citations,” said the staff report.
The contract is being extended while theInformation System Division evaluates thesoftware needs of the City at large for poten-tial consolidation.
ConserveTrack software will be used tomonitor the water neutrality ordinance butDNV GL Energy Services USA, Inc. is beingput forward for a five-year $2,000,000 con-tract to implement the rules.
“Given the water supply challenges facingSouthern California, the City of SantaMonica has one of the region’s most ambi-tious urban water management efforts” saidthe staff report. “The City has adopted a goalof achieving water self-sufficiency by 2020,ending our long-standing reliance onimported water for a portion of our supply.To reach this target, new development willneed to be far more water efficient thanexisting buildings and older buildings andlandscapes will need to be retrofitted to sus-tainably reduce water usage demand.”
To meet those goals, the city has requirednew development to offset water use onsiteor pay a fee. The contract would cover serv-ices such as “develop and maintain theonline water demand calculator, prescreen
retrofit sites, purchase and install water-sav-ing devices, track and report on new devel-opment compliance and retrofits, and plancheck and inspection services as needed.”
A pair of items on the agenda referenceexisting groundwater.
Council will be asked to approve$779,022 (including a 10% contingency) topurchase 1,620 reverse osmosis membraneelements and associated parts for theArcadia Water Plant and $76,494 to covercosts associated with replacing the high-techwater filters. The membranes should bereplaced every five years and the last batchwere installed in 2011. Filters remove poten-tial contaminants from the local water sup-ply to comply with state and federal rules.
Council’s final water item is a $4,197,842(including a $547,545 contingency) contractwith Yellow Jacket Drilling Services for welldrilling. City Hall wants to drill three newexploratory wells (at the ColoradoMaintenance Yard, the Santa Monica Airport,and on a City-owned parcel on 19th Street)and replace an old well along Olympic Blvd.
“The dual goals of this project are toobtain subsurface data in order to under-stand the hydrogeological conditions in theCoastal sub-basin, and to increase ground-water production from the City’s OlympicWellfield by replacing an ineffectual existingwell,” said the staff report.
Council meets at 5:30 p.m. on July 11 inCity Hall, 1685 Main St. Visitwww.smgov.net for more information.

SACRAMENTOCalifornia governor plans to host 2018 global climate summit
California Gov. Jerry Brown plans to convene a climate conference next year, his latestaction to position the state as a leader in battling global warming as the White House recedes.
The summit set for 2018 in San Francisco will mark the first time a state is hosting a cli-mate gathering aimed at upholding the goals of the Paris climate agreement, an interna-tional pact to fight global warming that President Donald Trump is exiting. Brown willannounce the Global Climate Action summit on Thursday in a video message to the GlobalCitizen Festival in Hamburg, Germany. His announcement comes as Trump is in Hamburgfor a meeting of the Group of 20 economic powers, which includes many European alliesthat encouraged the president not to withdraw from the Paris agreement.
The Trump administration’s decision to roll back environmental regulations in theUnited States and withdraw from the international agreement has elevated Brown’s pro-file on the world stage. He traveled to China earlier this year to discuss climate policyand will serve as a special envoy to states and regions at the United Nation’s Novemberclimate conference.
“Yes, I know President Trump is trying to get out of the Paris agreement, but he does-n’t speak for the rest of America,” Brown will say in the video, according to early remarksreleased by his office. “We in California and in states all across America believe it's timeto act.”
Brown's climate conference will feature representatives of subnational govern-ments, businesses, investors, musicians and others to highlight action to fight globalwarming and to “spur deeper commitment” from national governments. A full list ofattendees hasn't been released, and it's unclear if any foreign presidents or primeministers plan to attend.
Building alliances to fight climate change has been a key piece of Brown's tenure. He'salready launched a multi-state effort to keep the country on track to meet the Parisgoals and created an alliance of subnational governments aimed at slowing the warmingof the planet.
Meanwhile in Sacramento, Brown is struggling to reach consensus on a bill to reautho-rize California's cap-and-trade program, the cornerstone of the state's efforts to reducecarbon emissions.

As the moon swells toward tomorrow's full status, heroes and muses abound. There's a reason you'reattracted to someone's work or way of operating in the world. Copy it. Don't worry; you won't lose your-self or become someone else. Counterintuitively, you will create a unique and strongly original identitythrough imitation.
Swollen Moon
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Today will be all right. In the English-languagesense of it, this phrase covers a wide variety ofmeanings (many of which will apply): “just ok”;“spectacular”; “here's a counter offer”;“agreed”; and “yes.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You can't see time, although, if you wait longenough, there will be quite a lot of physical evi-dence that it was here. To experience timemore vividly, positively and fully, plant a seed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)There's someone you want to know better, butyou're not sure how you should approach.Better to repel someone by being who you arethan attract them by being who you're not.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)A loved one will figure into your work scenarioand may be the key that unlocks the next pro-fessional level. Even so, ultimately it's yourwork and your being that will make the situa-tion great for all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Whom should I know? Many don't ask suchquestions, out of shyness or a lack of foresight.But you realize that in order to move andshake things, you need to get to know the cur-rent movers and shakers.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You've already come far in life with emotionaldevelopment and maturity beyond your years.With all you'll gain over the next three weeks,you'll rise to yet another level of wisdom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)You're creative. You don't need to have thebest things in order to make the best of things.Also, many who already have the best can'tsee it. You'll help them see it. So, you'll makethem a little jealous, too. It can't be helped.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)You'll become so immersed in these adventuresthat you'll find there is no longer room for theanxiety and fear you once felt. You'll channelyour energy into exciting new endeavors.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You enjoy getting quality attention, and youknow how to hold and play with that, too. Youalso cherish your private time. Today you'llprefer to recharge in solitude.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)There's no time to waste in anger. Forgivequickly; forget easily. There is so much fun andplay to be had! Tonight sees you laughing untilyour cheeks hurt.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Just because they ask doesn't mean you haveto answer. Why do they want to know? It's notlike you're applying for a security clearance orrunning for office today. You're allowed to beas mysterious as you want to be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Liking yourself may not be enough today.You've plenty of reasons to be madly, deeplyin love. Anyway, what would you do different-ly in that case? How would you advocate foryourself?
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 7)
The next three months present games and risk; keep at it and you'll become a master. Septemberbrings a lucky break. November shows you inseparable from your team. Together you'll execute animportant mission. January shifts the focus to self-improvement, especially in the area of healthand lifestyle. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 9, 30, 44 and 19.
