Congratulations on your election—and in Alex Saab’s case, re- Sunday 68˚ election—to the Downey City Council. You’ve waged successful campaigns 70⁰ against an unusually large field of opponents, and all honors are due your Saturday having won the preference and confidence of your district voters. You carry their hopes, and the hopes of the entire city, into the future. As a journalist and Downey resident, I’ve been a city-watcher for THINGS TO DO decades, and became more than casually impressed when I first saw the level of professionalism and competency with which city staff conducted a public hearing at the Downey Theater on the McMansionization issue; and at the colorful, varied, sometimes near-rowdy meetings of the Community Redevelopment Agency at the Downey Library, where people of almost every conceivable age, background, occupation and income level met to discuss the future of the city. This was democracy in action! What will the City Council do to protect Downey’s remaining cultural assets? Photo by Pam Lane, DowneyDailyPhotos. The CRA is now defunct, not as a fault of the city (funding was com cancelled by the state). But the absence of any of those kinds of meetings identity; culture and the arts; and the use of space when it comes available. When they come up with an issue Holiday Boutique is symptomatic of what’s been happening to Downey ever since the local that requires thought and reflection rather than numbers and specs, they punt. When there’s something specific Saturday -Downey Christ Lutheran aerospace industry collapsed, and with it, the cultural and civic amenities and measurable, they turn it over to consultants and developers without asking what the self-interest of those Church, 9 am to 3 pm that came with the residential life of a largely professional and management people may be, or their track record in keeping promises. Or the unexpected results of their projects, as in the class—elements that produced a robust sense of community. Shop homemade gifts, origami owls, near-elimination of sidewalk space outside the KB townhouse development on 5th and Paramount. Scentsy candles, caramel apples, This is where you come in, to a job that’s more difficult than ever. jewelry, and more. I’m generalizing, but the trend is unmistakable. The developer who is still building The Promenade long What’s becoming clear over time is that prior councilmen, aside from after its proposed completion date never mentioned how sterile and dreary all that uniformly boxy architecture performing perfunctory duties or using their office for personal and stretched over a vast dystopic terrain would be—even Benihana’s lacks traditional character. And you know that political gain, have been more or less kicking the can down the road when promised four-star hotel will never materialize. it comes to visionary leadership. To go to city council meetings now is to see a group dealing with everyday, largely utilitarian issues—road repair, As for the Avenue Theater, in which the city has now officially lost a half-million dollars, more mid-level underground gas pipes, signage--the more bureaucratized, the safer they restaurants and food outlets, in a street already loaded with them, will not take the meaningful place over a feel. Audiences show up to hear their specific agendas hashed out; once cultural center proposed by local arts leader Lorine Parks, among others. the discussion is over, they get up and leave. Hardly anyone stays around to see how the democratic process of city government works on a scale While on the subject, Downey’s 2005 Master Plan for the future, mandated by the state, mentioned the Old Time Christmas Festival that’s supposed to include everyone. Downey Symphony, The Civic Light Opera, the Downey Art Museum and the Downey Civic Theater itself as the city’s prime cultural attractions. The DCLO is gone; the Symphony can barely cover a tenth of its operating cost; Saturday - Rancho Los Cerritos in Long In a way, you can’t blame them. The leadership has become a VenueTech, the management firm that runs the Downey Theater, is virtually fleecing the city while staging one- Beach, 1-4 pm technocracy. The minutiae it has to deal with is both crucial—particularly and-done events that contribute nothing to Downey’s cultural identity; and the art museum, which preceded A Victorian Christmas with crafts, with the threat of litigation looming behind every decision—and LACMA as L.A. County’s first of its kind, has fallen to the blowhard vindictiveness of a former mayor who wouldn’t museum tours, holiday music, and shopping. stupefyingly boring. No wonder they have no mental energy to deal with heed state attorney, now state senator, Kamala Harris’ appeal to reopen it (this while the arts are exploding larger, more ambiguous issues, like those forms of heritage crucial to twelve miles up the road, making L.A. an international arts capitol). Clearly the city has been unable or unwilling to deal with these issues. I’d recommend forming an advisory arts council consisting of locals who have proven themselves vital to the community. They would include Frank Kearns, Lorene Parks, Andrew Wahlquist, Carolina del Toro, Pat Gil, Valentine Flores, Harold Tseklenis, Donald Marshall, Roy Shabla and Marsha Moode. Singly and as a group, they’ve all met with the city to try and figure out the next step, but like the rest of us, they need official leadership to find a new direction. Another issue you’ll have to deal with is the economy. Downey’s unemployment rate is slightly higher than thursday, nov. 24 (thanksgiving) both the California and national levels, but more to the point, the city’s average per capita income is $23,216 Holiday Boat Parade No newsworthy incidents. and its household $60,374.
