In March of this year, Sierra Madre Mayor Gene Goss reached out to Assembly Member Hold- en’s Office to request his assistance in obtainingState funding for Sierra Madre’s Library for the purpose of making meaningful improvements to the existing facility. Those improvements in- volve: long-term building accessibility, seismic concerns, and increased space that includes an outdoor community area. The Sierra Madre Friends of the Library sup- ported the award of $10 million, stating “The Sierra Madre Public Library building was built in 1955, and as such, has been pushed to its lim- its of both space and deferred repairs. While there have been numerous efforts to address these concerns, funding has been a predomi- nant obstacle to achieving these goals.” Library Board Trustee Rich Proctor stated, the Trustees are thrilled and grateful for AssemblyMember Holden’s hard work in facilitating a grant that will help the Library realize its full potential as the heart and soul of the Sierra Madre community” Said Mayor Goss, “the Library is one of our City’s treasures. It has been in need of major renovation and expansion for many years. The grant is a complete game-changer and will help make renovations possible. I wish to thank As- sembly Member Holden for his tireless efforts on behalf of our City. It is a wonderful way to start the 4th of July weekend.” CHIEF RODRICK ARMALIN TO LEAVE SMPD As it has been said many times, “all good things must come to an end”, and unfortunately, it seems that Sierra Madre’s time with Chief Rodrick Armalin has reached that point. After a very successful two years plus with SMPD, Armalin will move on to become the new Public Safety Director with the City of Lancaster. Armalin, who has a 34-year career in law enforcement, will move into a position in city administration heading up the Lancaster Public Safety Department’s team of Rangers, Code Enforcement Officers, and a new Hy- brid Policing effort. Chief Armalin came to Sierra Madre in March 2020 at the beginning of the Pandemic, and has lead the city and department through the worst of times using his decades of experi- ence in community policing to deal with the unique foothill village of Sierra Madre. He has brought more professionalism and diversity to the ranks of SMPD, developed cre- ative programs for residents and the business community and led his officers by example in dealing the criminal element as well as other issues that are important to our town. Armalin has been a compassionate leader, going the extra mile to, for example, comfort a child who was frightened at even the sight of a police officer; assisting with efforts such as Sierra Madre Thrives during the pandemic; and even played Santa Claus during the 2020 lockdown. In the aftermath of the pandemic with an increase in crime throughout the country, it is certain that Sierra Madre will miss Chief Armalin, however, as one resident said, “he’s leav- ing our town in better shape than it was before”.
