City of Sierra Madre, Calif. – The Sierra 
Madre Police Department will increase 
patrols throughout the community and 
provide other traffic safety programs 
to help reduce the number of serious 
injuries and deaths on roads. 
“This grant funding allows us to sup-
port our ongoing traffic safety efforts 
in the community,” Acting Police 
Chief Henry Amos said. “Our intent is 
to stop the most unlawful and danger-
ous behaviors that put people at risk 
and create an environment where ev-
eryone feels safe traveling.” 
Mayor Gene Goss stated, “This grant 
will help the city continue its ongoing 
efforts to reduce speeding and danger-
ous erratic driving. The Safety of the 
public is our prime concern.” 
The grant will provide additional pro-
grams and resources, including: 
DUI patrols focused on stopping sus-
pected impaired dri vers 
High visibility distracted driv ing 
enforcement operations targetingdrivers in violation of California’s 
hands free cell phone law 
Enforcement operations focused on 
the most dangerous driver behaviors 
that 
put the safety of people biking or 
walking at risk. 
Enforcement operations focused on 
top violations that cause crashes: 
speeding ,
failure to yield , stop sign and/or red 
light running and improper turning 
or lane changes. 
Community presentations on traf-
fic safety issues such as distracted 
driving,
impaired driving , speed ing , bicycle 
and pedestrian safety. 
Officer training and/or recertifica-
tion : Standard Field Sobriety Test 
(SFST), 
Advanced Roadside Impaired DrivingEnforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Rec-
ognition Expert (DRE) 
The grant program will run through 
September 2023. 
Funding for this program was pro-
vided by a grant from the Califor-
nia Office of Traffic Safety through 
the National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration. 
LOWE, GOSS AND GARCIA ELECTED MEASURE HR 
DEFEATED 
In the alternative, proponents 
submitted signatures to overturn 
Ordinance 1461 which paved the 
way for The Meadows Project to 
proceed 
According to the LA County Registrar of Vot-
ers as of 11:00 pm on Friday, November 11, 2022 
the hotly contested Measure HR was on its way 
to defeat by a wide margin. The unofficial tally 
shows the YES on Measure HR with 1,420 votes 
40.33% and NO on Measure HR with 2,101 votes 
(59.67%. 
The loss was not a deterrent to those who want 
to stop the Meadows at Bailey Canyon project,
however, as signature gathering began before 
the election to place a referendum on the Ballot 
against the Council's approval of the project. 
Signatures were turned into the City Clerk's of-
fice on Thursday. If enough signatures are ver-
fied as valid, the council can choose to rescind 
the Ordinance or call for a special election to 
place the referendum before the voters. 
A summary of the referendum that was used to 
solicit signatures stated: 
"SUMMARY OF REFERENDUM AGAINST 
ORDINANCE NO. 1461 
This is a referendum on whether Sierra Madre 
City Council Ordinance No. 1461 should be-
come effective. Ordinance No. 1461 (1) approves 
a Zoning Map Amendment; (2) approves a Spe-
cific Plan and (3) approves a Development Agree-
ment for The Meadows at Bailey Canyon Project 
located at 700 North Sunnyside Avenue in the 
City of Sierra Madre. 
Ordinance 1461 would rezone and develop 17 
acres ofland on a parcel owned by the Passion-
ists in the northwest comer of Sierra Madre, ad-
jacent to the San Gabriel Mountains. The ZoningMap Amendment would rezone the land from 
Institutional to R-1 Single Family Residential 
with a Specific Plan Overlay. The Specific Plan 
would facilitate the construction and design of 
the development and its 42 houses, regulated onlyby the terms of the Specific Plan. 
The Development agreement sets forth the 
terms of development agreed on between the 
developer and the City. It includes a requirement 
that the Developer obtain County approval of a 
plan to include a portion of Bailey Canyon Wil-
derness park, owned by Los Angeles County as 
part of the planned Offsite development of West 
Carter Avenue, before a Tentative Tract Map will 
be approved. 
If you sign this petition, you will support mak-
ing the Sierra Madre City Council either repeal 
Ordinance No. 1461 or submit the Ordinance 
to the voters for approval. If you do not sign 
this petition, you will support allowing the Si-
erra Madre City Council Ordinance No. 1461 to 
become effective without voter approval. 
The City Attorney prepared an impartial anal-
ysis of the referendum which you can read on 
page 14 of this edition.
