SOUTH PASADENA - SAN MARINO

 Supervisor Kathryn Barger 
asked her colleagues Tuesday 
to send a 5-signature letter to 
President Trump calling on 
him to officially recognize 
the Armenian Genocide. 
Co-authored by Supervisor 
Hilda Solis, the motion asks 
for a letter to the County’s 
congressional delegation 
expressing support for 
House Resolution 220 (Schiff 
D-CA), a bipartisan effort to 
recognize the genocide, as 
well as an amendment to the 
County’s Federal agenda. 

 “As we commemorate 
the 102nd anniversary of 
the Armenian Genocide, 
one of the darkest chapters 
in human history, it is 
imperative that we finally 
and officially recognize the 
genocide to promote healing 
and provide resolution for 
the victims, survivors and 
ancestors,” said Supervisor 
Barger.

 On April 18, Supervisor 
Barger marked the 
anniversary of the Armenian 
Genocide by proclaiming 
a “Day of Remembrance.” 
Earlier in April, Supervisors 
Barger and Hahn introduced 
a motion declaring April as 
“Armenian History Month” 
in Los Angeles County 
– home to the largest 
population of Armenians in 
the United States.

 The San Marino City 
Council is recruiting for 
a City Manager, and has 
selected the firm of CPS-
HR to conduct the search. 
As part of the recruitment 
process the City is seeking 
input from the community, 
and has developed an online 
survey in both English and 
Mandarin.

 “It’s important for the 
City Council to know what 
qualities our citizens believe 
a City Manager must possess 
to best serve the interests of 
our city and our community. 
What we hear will bear 
heavily in our selection 
process,” San Marino Mayor 
Richard Sun said.

 Appointed by the San 
Marino City Council, the 
City Manager is the Chief 
Executive Officer of the City, 
overseeing the operations of 
all the City’s departments. 
The City Manager is 
responsible for planning, 
directing, and managing all 
activities and operations of 
the City, ensuring that all 
public services are delivered 
in the most efficient and 
effective manner. The City 
Manager also implements 
policy decisions made 
by the City Council and 
facilitates the development 
and implementation of City 
goals and objectives.

 The City of San Marino 
utilizes a council manager 
system of local government. 
Five Council Members are 
elected in November of odd 
calendar years, serving four-
year terms. The City Council 
has taken steps to consolidate 
its elections with statewide 
elections and will be moving 
to even year elections in 
2022. The five Council 
Members serve without any 
financial compensation, and 
each year the City Council 
elects one member to serve 
as mayor.

 The City’s 2016-2017 
adopted budget reflects 
general fund revenues 
of $26.6 million and 
expenditures of $25.3 million 
(which includes $900,000 in 
capital expenses).

 The salary range for 
City Manager is $180,000 
to $200,000, with the 
starting rate dependent on 
qualifications. Additionally, 
the City offers a $600 
monthly car allowance and 
a $200 monthly technology 
Allowance.

Survey responses should be 
submitted prior to June 5.
