Subject: Public Comment: Preservation, Belonging, and Moral Cartography To: City Council BCC: Library Historical Librarian, Historic Preservation Foundation What Is a City? A Reflection on Preservation, Belonging, and Moral Cartography In his 1996 book The Open Sore of a Continent, Wole Soyinka asked, “What is a country?”— not as a geographic fact, but as a moral question. He juxtaposed physical boundaries with cultural identity, probing whether a nation’s soul is found in its architecture or in its people, in its proclamations or its silences. This reflection invites South Pasadena to ask: What is a city? Is it the sum of its historic homes and tree-lined streets? Or is it the lived experience of those who have been welcomed—or excluded—within its borders? Preservation or Exclusion? South Pasadena proudly champions historic preservation. Yet the question remains: Which history are we preserving? The city’s origins as a Sundown Town are not incidental—they are foundational. For decades, people of color were permitted only in servitude roles, rendered invisible in civic life. If preservation efforts focus solely on architectural aesthetics without reckoning with this legacy —including both overt and passive discriminatory practices—we risk curating nostalgia over justice. Preservation must be expansive. It must include: Stories of domestic workers, gardeners, and builders whose labor shaped the city. Oral histories from displaced families—such as the Japanese Americans forcibly removed during World War II. Exhibits and archives that confront exclusionary zoning and civic gatekeeping. SB 79: A Mirror, Not a Threat 2

Senate Bill 79, which mandates upzoning near transit hubs, has sparked concern among preservationists. But instead of resisting it solely on aesthetic grounds, South Pasadena could use it as a mirror: “If we must choose which 10% of our history to protect, let us choose the stories that make us whole—not just the ones that make us proud.” This is an opportunity to reimagine preservation as inclusion—to ensure that density does not mean displacement, and that development does not erase memory. Economic Design as a Pillar of Discrimination A newspaper editor once remarked that South Pasadena, by its actions and policies, functions as a place of exclusion—not necessarily by race, but by design. This critique deserves attention. Exclusion operates subtly: Zoning laws that restrict affordability. Civic procedures that deter participation. Infrastructure decisions that prioritize aesthetics over accessibility. These are not always malicious—but they accumulate into a pattern. A pattern that validates the quiet discomfort felt by renters, youth, immigrants, and others who see no future here. Toward a City of Belonging If South Pasadena is to be more than its boundaries, it must become a moral landscape shaped by inclusion. That means: Reframing historic preservation to honor all contributors. Using SB 79 as a catalyst for ethical development. Creating civic spaces where all voices are heard—not just those fluent in procedure. This is not an indictment—it’s an invitation. To ask: Who do we imagine when we say “our community”? Who do we design for? And who do we forget? Let us preserve not just buildings, but belonging. Let us honor not just the visible, but the silenced. Let us build a city that remembers—and welcomes.

From: Yvonne LaRose To: City Council Public Comment Subject: General Public Comment, October 1, 2025: Freedom from Harm: Ethical Prevention Over Surveillance Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025 5:14:48 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of South Pasadena. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of South Pasadena. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. My presence tonight is from the Domestic Violence ("DV") and HR space. Because of recent circumstances that are growing with frequency of threats to the wonderful progress we've been making, tonight's comment also comes from the place of restating a concerned citizen's desire to educate and raise awareness of the telltale signs of abuse - and do positive things to subvert those conditions. My work in domestic violence advocacy spans over two decades—statutory training, public education, workplace policy, and civic engagement. In 2023, I petitioned the Public Safety Commission to support workshops focused on three at-risk populations. That request was met with silence. On September 17, 2025, another citizen echoed my proposal—this time advocating surveillance devices to detect telltale signs and intervention. His comment mirrored my original intent but replaced ethical engagement with technological monitoring. Let me be clear: Surveillance is not care. Survivors are not threats. Prevention does not come from authoritarian expansion—it comes from community. We must build systems that reflect our founding values: Freedom of speech and privacy Freedom from fear, unjust prosecution, and cruel and unusual punishment—in homes, workplaces, classrooms, and civic spaces Surveillance does not and should not substitute for involved citizens and communities of humanitarian concern. Paying attention to warning signs is a responsibility we all carry— regardless of age, ethnicity, or state of well-being. Sometimes because of someone’s well- being, we must recognize suicide ideation not pronounced but screaming through telltale signs. Gentle human intervention wins every time. Not Nosey Parker practices—but concerned neighbor care. Not vague offers of “whatever you need”—but specific, actionable support. Know where the resources are. Know how to use them. And when enough is enough, don’t strike the match that ignites the fuse. 4

Surveillance—for all three at-risk populations—is definitely NOT the answer. Being aware and prepared obviates the need to live with PTSD. PTSD is not just the aftermath of mass shootings or civil unrest. It is the residue of trauma that lives in the brain and shapes the body’s response to future harm, suspected or real. Being responsible dampens civilian instances of the illness. Being ethical prevents civic complicity in its spread. Let Domestic Violence Awareness Month be a time of reckoning. Let us build systems that listen, not watch. That respond, not record. That honor, not expose.

Executive Summary As the City continues to optimize resource allocations across departments and strengthen 1 Attachment A 7

organizational capacity, the City Manager has directed the Human Resources Department (HR) to assist Public Works, Library, and Community Services Departments to complete their reorganizational requests and prepare two new job classifications and descriptions. In Public Works, the department continues to struggle in filling supervisory positions. The Facility and Parks Maintenance Supervisor is still vacant to date. The Department would like to generalize this position as a Public Works Supervisor that can be flexible in its assignment. By requesting two Public Works Supervisor positions, this will allow for cross-training and back-up coverage when needed. The current department structure lacks dedicated supervisor positions to oversee day- to-day operations and maintenance staff that upkeep city facilities and parks. The addition of the two Public Works Supervisors will enhance operational efficiency, improve service delivery, and ensure regulatory compliance across the department. In the Library Department, increased public interfacing and administrative responsibilities have created a demand for a more advanced support role. The proposed Assistant Library Director had been a previous classification in the Library structure, and now with the recent retirement of one Library Manager, allows the re-establishment of this position to assist with higher level responsibilities. The Community Services Department has requested to merge four part-time positions to two full-time positions to provide greater continuity and consistency of services to all those that utilize the department’s programs. The stability and growth potential of a full- time role contributes to stronger employee engagement and retention, helping the department build and maintain a high-performing team. With these proposed changes, an updated citywide salary schedule has been prepared to include these additional positions and make any corrective actions or necessary changes to Resolution 7934 that was approved by City Council on September 3, 2025, with an effective date of September 8, 2025. Background As part of the City's ongoing efforts to enhance organizational efficiency, service delivery, and workforce development, the City Manager has conducted a strategic review of operational and staffing needs within the Public Works, Library and Community Service Departments. This review evaluated current workloads, supervisory structures, service expectations, and recruitment and retention challenges: Public Works Supervisor (two positions): The City currently has a vacant Facility and Parks Supervisor position that they have been unable to fill. This has placed increased strain on upper management and limited the department's ability to respond proactively to daily operational needs, infrastructure maintenance, and emergency events. Establishing this new classification will strengthen the organizational structure, improve accountability, and support more effective coordination of field staff, maintenance projects, and regulatory compliance. The cost of these positions are being offset by the vacant Facility and Parks Supervisor and the vacant Maintenance Worker in the Streets Division. Assistant Library Director: With growing demands of Library Services, the need to have an additional management support position to assist with public facing and administrative needs is critical to library operations. The re-establishment of the Assistant Library Director will support the City's efforts to maintain strong community presence, ensure proper management 2 8

oversight of staff and daily operations, assist with library budgeting, tracking, and reporting, and build depth in the department's management team. In August 2025, one of the Library Managers retired and will allow for funding to be shifted to cover approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the Assistant Library Director cost. Additionally, some of the administrative duties supporting library services will be picked up by one (1) new part-time Administrative Assistant position. Reclassification of one Maintenance Worker to one Lead Maintenance Worker: Currently, there is one vacant positions in the Sewer Division within the Public Works Department. As the department needs more experienced personnel to execute the amount of work that has accumulated, the request is to reclassify this position to a Lead Maintenance Worker. Community Services Department: The Community Services Department proposes to eliminate/merge four (4) part-time positions to two (2) full-time positions; eliminate a part-time Management Aide under Senior Services and merging those responsibilities with a vacant part- time Community Services Coordinator to one (1) full-time Community Services Coordinator and consolidate two (2) part-time Management Aides to one (1) full-time Management Aide under the Recreation Division in the Community Services Department. By consolidating these roles, Community Services can streamline operations, improve overall workflow, and provide consistent leadership and support to the staff. These proposed changes are aligned with the City's long-term goals of building a resilient, skilled workforce and ensuring effective delivery of essential municipal services. Partial funding to support these actions will be addressed through departmental budget adjustments and reallocation of existing resources as noted below. In support of these changes, an updated salary schedule has been prepared that will supersede Resolution 7934 that was approved by Council on September 3, 2025, with an effective date of September 8, 2025. Analysis To address operational demands and align staffing levels with service expectations, staff is proposing the creation of two new job classifications and associated salary ranges. These changes are intended to enhance management capacity, ensure compliance with regulatory and audit requirements, and support the City's recruitment and retention goals. Each proposed action is described below with associated salary ranges and funding allocations for FY 2025-26. Public Works Supervisor (two positions): This new classification will provide direct supervision of the City's facility and park operations, including oversight of field maintenance crews, infrastructure maintenance programs, and operational projects. By bridging the gap between field staff and department leadership, this position will improve communication, increase efficiency, and enhance the City's responsiveness to facility and park service requests. Proposed Salary Range for two Public Works Supervisor positions: FY2025-26 $235,875 - $286,676 (includes benefits; single range $87,360 - $106,176) 3 9

Proposed Salary Offset for the Facility and Parks Supervisor: FY2025-26 $117,936 - $143,338 (includes benefits) Proposed Salary Offset for the Maintenance Worker in Streets: FY2025-26 $74,247 - $86,217 (includes benefits) Total Maximum Amount Needed: $57,121 Funding Source: Fund 101 - 70% Fund 210 - 5% Fund 500 - 25% Proposed Salary Difference for one Maintenance Worker to one Lead Maintenance Worker in Sewer: FY2025-26 $19,008 Funding Source: Fund 210 – 100% Assistant Library Director: The Library Department has experienced increased demands related to administrative, financial budgeting, tracking, and reporting, as well as public interfacing that exceeds current management levels. This position will perform support duties for the Director including oversight of library staff and operations. Proposed Salary Range for the Assistant Library Director: FY2025-26 $118,080 - $158,244 Proposed Salary Offset for the Library Manager: FY2025-26 $99,972 - $121,512 Proposed Addition of one (1) Part-Time Administrative Assistant - $27,855 Total Maximum Amount Needed: $64,587 Funding Source: Fund 101 - 100% Community Services Combined Positions: This request is a role consolidation—specifically, eliminating the part-time Management Aide position under Senior Services and merging those responsibilities with the part-time Community Services Coordinator role, to create a single, full-time Community Services Coordinator position and consolidating the two part-time Management Aide positions into a single full-time Management Aide. Proposed Salary Range for one (1) FT Community Services Coordinator: FY2025-26 $95,191 - $115,700 (with benefits included) Proposed Salary Offset for the Combined Salaries of PT Community Services Coordinator and PT Management Aide: FY2025-25 $74,505 - $90,571 4 10

Proposed Salary Range for one (1) FT Management Aide: FY2025-26 $84,386 - $102,563 (with benefits included) Proposed Salary Offset for the Combined Salaries of two (2) PT Management Aides: FY2025-25 $84,140 - $102,284 Total Maximum Amount Needed: $25,408 Funding Source: Fund 101 - 100% The estimated cost is further described in the Fiscal Impact section of this report. Alternatives The City Council may decide not to approve the personnel changes. Fiscal Impact The total annual fiscal impact of the proposed personnel actions, inclusive of salary and benefits, is estimated below for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Final costs may vary depending on the selected candidates' experience and actual placement within the range. Estimated Annual Position Total Cost Funding Sources(Salary and benefits) Fund 101 - 70% ($39,985) Public Works Supervisors (2) $57,121 (net Fund 210 - 5% increase) ($2,856) Fund 500 - 25% ($14,280) One Maintenance Worker to $19,008 (net Fund 210 - 50% Lead Maintenance Worker increase) ($19,008) Assistant Library Director $64,587 (net Fund 101 - 100% and increase) ($64,587) PT Administrative Assistant FT Management Aide and $25,408 (net Fund 101 - 100%FT Community Services increase) ($25,408)Coordinator Distributed per above allocations Fund 500 - Total Estimated Cost $166,124 $14,280 Fund 210 - $21,864 Fund 101 - $129,980 The FY 2025 -2026 Adopted General Fund Budget (Fund 101) included revenues in excess of expenditures in the amount of $499,711. Therefore, the proposed increase of salary and benefits in the amount of $129,980 can be fully funded by current revenues. Additionally, the 5 11

Water Fund (Fund 500), Sewer Fund (Fund 210), and State Gas Tax Fund (Fund 230) have sufficient revenues to cover the proposed increases. Key Performance Indicators and Strategic Plan These items align with City Council's priority 5, to work with the City Manager and establish improved operational efficiencies.

Dear Mayor and City Council, Here are a few suggestions for the Parking Requirements section of the South Pasadena Film Policy: The permission form (Exhibit C to the policy) could be modified to state directly that the signatories are permitting filming and film related parking in front of their properties (Parking Requirements Item 2.) The form currently states "We hereby state that we raise no objections to the above referenced filming activity," perhaps this can be modified to "We hereby give permission for the above-referenced filming and parking activity occurring in front of our property." The policy states at Item 1. that "All vehicles associated with the film activity must be identified on the scaled plan (see Exhibit "D")." Former film liaison Joan A. once indicated to me that crew members' personal vehicles were considered to be "associated with the film activity." It would be helpful for this to be stated formally in the written policy, as crew members' personal vehicles can have significant neighborhood impacts. The "No Production Parking Anytime" signs that have been used in recent years have helped mitigate and prevent parking impacts. In addition to requiring the film company to post the required "No Parking" signs where tenants and property owners have permitted film-related parking, perhaps the policy can add a requirement for the company post "No Production Parking Anytime" signs in front of properties where the tenant or owner has not given permission. Thank you for considering these suggestions. Ed Elsner 22

Dear Mayor and Council Members, I urge you to support Alternative 3 or Alternative 1 for the Fair Oaks Avenue curb design. The bulb-outs are essential safety features that: - Shorten crossing distances for pedestrians - Improve visibility between drivers and people crossing - Calm traffic speeds on a busy corridor - Protect vulnerable road users, including children and seniors Alternative 2 would remove these proven safety features and put our community at risk. Please choose safety first. It breaks my heart to see the amount of dangerous driving, speeding, and collisions the city sees these days. I want our children, and everyone else for that matter, to be afforded the same ease & safety I found walking & bicycling to and from school myself from 1993-2000. Keeping these bulb-outs is a great way to start! Here’s hoping that happens & that we can move on from there to projects for an even safer, more equitable city for everyone - especially our children, seniors, and all of those outside of personal automobiles. Thank you, Adry Hezekiah 35

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear city council, My family frequently travels on foot or by bike around town to run errands and to take our young son to the park. At least a couple times a year we have a terrible interaction with a car where we are either nearly hit by an inattentive driver or encounter drivers who frankly don’t seem to care about people in their way. I have had a car refuse to stop for me while I was in the middle of an intersection with a baby in a carrier strapped to my body. (I am not joking!) We’ve called the police non-emergency line several times to beg that they increase patrols at problem intersections after these interactions and they have told us that our best path to effect change is to reach out to city council to advocate for more and better safety at problem intersections. Fair Oaks corridor is a major problem in the city with very fast moving cars and very inattentive drivers. The idea that there is an option on the table to remove road features like the bulb outs in questions that we know help protect pedestrians on Fair Oaks is so absurd it makes my blood boil. We are so far behind where we need to be to protect pedestrians that there should not be even an ounce of mental energy spent on considering rolling back any measures that could improve an outcome for a pedestrian in our city. The city council must do everything in their power to reclaim this city from increasingly reckless drivers that every year hit, injure and even kill residents who are courageous enough to take a walk in their neighborhood or patronize a local business on foot. Thank you, -Alex Krafcik 36

Part of the reason we moved to South Pasadena 15 years ago was because this is a community where it is safe for young people to have freedom to explore by walking and biking. I urge you to support Alternative 3 or Alternative 1 for the Fair Oaks Avenue curb design. The bulb-outs are essential safety features that: - Shorten crossing distances for pedestrians - Improve visibility between drivers and people crossing - Calm traffic speeds on a busy corridor - Protect vulnerable road users, including children and seniors Alternative 2 would remove these proven safety features and put our community at risk.

While my disability was temporary, we know that everyone will become disabled over time. Please protect the most vulnerable members of our community, which will someday be all of us!
