  • Merriweather Post Pavilion
    Citizen Advisory Panel on Merriweather Post Pavilion Final Report Introduction On August 12, 2004, County Executive Jim Robey signed Executive Order No. 2004-03 (attached as Appendix 1), which appointed 16 leaders of the business and arts communities in Howard County to serve on the Merriweather Citizens Advisory Panel (the Panel). He asked the Panel to advise him on whether Howard County (the County) should purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion from The Rouse Company (now General Growth Properties (GGP)), which had announced that Merriweather was for sale provided that the purchaser agrees to meet certain provisions. He asked the Panel to answer five questions: 1. Is there a public service purpose for Howard County to purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion? 2. If there is a public service purpose for the County to purchase Merriweather, what should be the primary purpose of the facility (e.g., a concert venue, an all-purpose arts facility, etc.), what other activities should be permitted and what organizations should have access? 3. Does Merriweather need to be renovated, and if so what type and scope of renovation would be necessary for it to most successfully and effectively achieve the determined primary purpose? 4. What type of management and control structure should be put into place for the operation of this facility? 5. What level of public oversight should exist? In addition, the County solicited proposals for consultant services for a “Feasibility study associated with the possible purchase and renovation of Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The County received five proposals it deemed to be acceptable. Following interviews with the firms that submitted those proposals, the County hired the team of Ziger/Snead LLP Architects, Webb Management Services, Inc.

  • BICE LOI Packet.Pdf
    September 18, 2019 Invitation for “Letters of Interest” for the 93.3-acre Verdemont/I-215 Project Interested Developers: The City of San Bernardino (“City”) invites Letters of Interest (“LOI”) from developers that are interested in purchasing and developing the City’s 93.3 acre Verdemont/I-215 Project (refer to Exhibit “A” for map). The 93.3 acre Verdemont/I-215 Project Site (the “Project Site”) is a significant development opportunity because it is: 1. Adjacent to and is visible from the Interstate 215 Freeway; 2. Immediately connectable to the greater Inland Empire area at the nearby Palm Avenue interchange; 3. Located in an area with higher end single family residential development; 4. To the northeast of and across the freeway from an 8-mile long 4.0-square mile North San Bernardino Industrial District (located along Historic Route 66); 5. In close proximity to California State University, San Bernardino (“CSUSB”); 6. Near the Glen Helen Amphitheater located within the Glen Helen Regional Park; 7. Near the Little League Western Region Headquarters; and 8. Currently vacant and available for development. Developer selection will involve a two-step process. This invitation to submit an LOI is the first step that will result in the identification of the most qualified developers. The second step will invite the most qualified developers to submit an in-depth proposal for consideration by the Mayor and City Council. It is anticipated that the City and the most qualified developer selected will enter into an Exclusive Right to Negotiate Agreement (“ENA”) for the Project Site and the negotiation of the sale and development of the property through a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”).

  • Food Stamp Eligibility Change Could Affect Thousands of Local Residents
    FEATURED, LOCAL NEWS, TOP STORY FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY CHANGE COULD AFFECT THOUSANDS OF LOCAL RESIDENTS JULY 24, 2019 | Z107.7 NEWS | LEAVE A COMMENT A change in food stamp eligibility could negatively affect hundreds—if not thousands—of Morongo Basin residents. As of Wednesday, July 24, the Trump administration is capping the income level of those who are eligible to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Under the old guidelines, California and 39 other states allow a family of four to have an income that is up to double the federal poverty level to receive food stamps; in California, that is $50,208. https://datausa.io/prole/geo/san-bernardino-county-ca/ The new federal guidelines would limit the annual income level to $32,640 for a family of four. Under the old guidelines, 11 out of 14 census tracts in the Morongo Basin had median household incomes that qualied families of four for food stamps. Under the new guidelines, only three census tracts—in north Joshua Tree, Wonder Valley, and Landers north into Johnson Valley—have median household incomes that would qualify a family of four for SNAP. Administration ofcials say the change will save the US government $2.5 billion annually. The US annual budget is $4.1 trillion, with a decit of $779 billion.

  • Arcade Fire Et Le Paradoxe De L'indie
    Université de Montréal Arcade Fire et le paradoxe de l’indie : de la scène montréalaise à la reconnaissance internationale par Margalida Amengual Garí Faculté de musique Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise en Musique, option Musicologie Mai, 2017 © Margalida Amengual Garí, 2017 ii Résumé Près de quinze ans après la percée du grunge de Nirvana dans le circuit mainstream, le groupe Arcade Fire, issu de la scène indie montréalaise des années 2000, a connu une reconnaissance internationale importante. En effet, malgré un début de carrière et un premier disque, Funeral, davantage associés à la musique indépendante, Arcade Fire a rencontré un grand succès commercial, public et critique, et sa musique est aujourd’hui distribuée et diffusée dans les circuits globaux de la pop. Dès lors, comment un groupe ayant changé de scène et d’échelle de production, de diffusion et de distribution est-il pourtant toujours associé au terme indie ? Appuyée par une bibliographie en études des musiques populaires et en sociomusicologie, cette étude explore cette question d’abord par une recherche historique sur le terme indie et sur la scène du même nom à Montréal, puis par une analyse historique de la carrière d’Arcade Fire, et ce, afin de comprendre comment ce terme a continué à être opérationnel pour parler du groupe. Ce travail démontre que si la carrière d’Arcade Fire est devenue moins indie dans la manière de produire, de distribuer et de diffuser la musique, l’étiquette indie fonctionne néanmoins toujours pour parler du groupe, car elle est liée à des valeurs de l’être humain que sont l’identité et l’authenticité.
