    233 Wilshire Boulevard Suite 150 Santa Monica, CA 90401 310.451.4488 phrn·i;:, 310.451.5279 fax November 20, 2017 Ms. Lisa Trifiletti Trifiletti Consulting, Inc. 1541 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 560 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Subject: ESA's Statement of Qualifications for the Proposed Clippers Arena in the City of Inglewood, California Dear Ms. Trifiletti: The City of Inglewood's continued revitalization is tied in part to its emerging role as a sports and entertainment destination. This transformation began with the opening of the newly renovated Forum Arena in 2014, continued by the current construction of the Rams/Chargers Stadium, soon to be the largest in the nation, and would culminate with development of the Clippers Arena. From the perspective of the Clippers, a new arena in Inglewood will eliminate the scheduling challenges posed by sharing the Staples Center with the Lakers, Sparks, and NHL Kings. Further, by building a state-of-the-art, privately funded arena, the Clippers can influence every aspect of the game-day experience, including parking, logistics, food, seating, commerce, broadcasting, and much more. While a new arena will have benefits to both the Clippers and the City, this project will be pursued under the extremely watchful eye of the owners of the Forum, who see th is as direct competition to their operations; nearby private business, who would be required to give up land forthe arena; and local residents, who have voiced concerns about gentrification and rising rents. Accordingly, both the City and the Clippers require an environmental consulting firm who has an unmatched portfolio of preparing Environmental Impact Reports (El Rs) for high-profile sports stadiums and arenas, and an outstanding track-record for legal defensibility.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.
