"DISCUSSION ON FUTURE OF FIRE SERVICES IN SIERRA MADRE" TOPIC OF ARCADIA TOWN COMMUNITY FORUM The City of Arcadia is hosting a Fire Services Commu- nity Forum to discuss Sierra Madre residents’ concerns, insights, and priorities regarding a potential partnership between the cities of Arcadia and Sierra Madre for fire and emergency response delivery alternatives. This free com- munity event is being held at Arcadia Fire Station 107, located at 79 W. Orange Grove, on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 7:00 PM. “This is an opportunity for Sierra Madre residents to share their needs, wants, and expectations for a potential part- nership,” said Arcadia Fire Chief Michael Lang. “The Ar- cadia Fire Department is a premier, Class One fire service. Extending our fire and emergency response services to Sierra Madre will provide enhanced fire suppression capa- bilities along the foothills.” The Cities of Sierra Madre and Arcadia approved a feasi- bility study in February to review a potential partnership. However, since that time, the Sierra Madre Department has become eligible to Mutual Aid status with the hir- ing and training of additional staff. No final decision has been made by Sierra Madre City officials as of this date regarding whether or not outsourcing fire services is still a possibility. As the lead agency, the City of Arcadia study will provide valuable information regarding the impacts and oppor- tunities of consolidating services. For more information, please contact Arcadia City Hall at 574-5401.

    Los Angeles County

    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Los Angeles County Arroyo Sequit Arroyo Sequit consists of about 3.3 stream miles. The arroyo is formed by the confluence of the East and West forks, from where it flows south to enter the Pacific Ocean east of Sequit Point. As part of a survey of 32 southern coastal watersheds, Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1979. The O. mykiss sampled were between about two and 6.5 inches in length. The survey report states, “Historically, small steelhead runs have been reported in this area” (DFG 1980). It also recommends, “…future upstream water demands and construction should be reviewed to insure that riparian and aquatic habitats are maintained” (DFG 1980). Arroyo Sequit was surveyed in 1989-1990 as part of a study of six streams originating in the Santa Monta Mountains. The resulting report indicates the presence of steelhead and states, “Low streamflows are presently limiting fish habitat, particularly adult habitat, and potential fish passage problems exist…” (Keegan 1990a, p. 3-4). Staff from DFG surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 1993 and captured O. mykiss, taking scale and fin samples for analysis. The individuals ranged in length between about 7.7 and 11.6 inches (DFG 1993). As reported in a distribution study, a 15-17 inch trout was observed in March 2000 in Arroyo Sequit (Dagit 2005). Staff from NMFS surveyed Arroyo Sequit in 2002 as part of a study of steelhead distribution. An adult steelhead was observed during sampling (NMFS 2002a). Additional documentation of steelhead using the creek between 2000-2007 was provided by Dagit et al.

    Olmsted and Bartholomew’s 1930’s Plan Revisited: Adaptations for Today’s Los Angeles by Stephen Blewett University of California, Davis June 12, 2009 Olmsted and Bartholomew’s 1930’s Plan Revisited: Adaptations for Today’s Los Angeles A Senior Project Presented to the Faculty of the Landscape Architecture Department University of California, Davis in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Bachelors of Science of Landscape Architecture Accepted and Approved by: Senior Project Advisor and Committe Member Mark Francis Committee Member Bryron McCulley Committee Member William Deverell | ABSTRACT | Los Angeles, California spread out over four-thousand square miles, is home to over 9 million residents. Known more for its grid-locked freeways and polluted air than its park system, Los Angeles includes more than 800,000 acres of green space. Unfortunately, it lacks the connectivity that Olmsted-Bartholomew’s 1930’s Plan for Los Angeles sought to resolve. A system of parkways and large parks, the Olmsted-Bartholomew 1930’s plan attempted to better link Los Angeles with a comprehensive park system. However, the 178 page proposal, which took nearly three years to develop, was turned down. One has to wonder what Los Angeles would have been like today had the plan been pushed through. Using a Ian McHarg 1960’s inspired analysis it was discovered that there are similarities between Olmsted-Bartholomew’s 1930’s plan and Los Angeles today. It was also discovered that there are many areas within the the Los Angeles Region that are in dire need of improvements. Inspired by the Olmsted and Bartholomew parkways concept, adaptations were made and a model community was designed with hopes to one day inspire the entire Los Angeles region.
