A MESSAGE FROM YOUR
CITY MANAGER
Welcome to the "new and improved" Bell Gardens Today. I hope you'll find each quarterly
issue informative. Also, please visit our website at www.bellgardens.org for the most current
information about your city’s programs, services and activities.
Whether you read the newspaper or watch television news, it’s hard not to have heard about
the “Great Recession.” Like most cities throughout the country, the sluggish economy has
negatively impacted Bell Gardens. Even though it has been a tremendous challenge, we have
made every effort to meet the demand for services, even while facing dwindling tax revenues.
I believe that we are slowly emerging from the recession, but I’m cautiously optimistic
because it will take some time before we see the same level of tax revenues that we’ve generated
in the past. Despite the baby steps the City has made in recovery, we still face some very critical
fiscal challenges; however, I assure you that the staff and City Council are working tirelessly to
ensure the community experiences minimal impact. We will continue tightening the budget and
squeezing as much out of our revenues as possible, but it must be done sensibly and cautiously.
In spite of the financial collapse, I’m pleased to report great accomplishments have been
achieved in Bell Gardens. Among the achievements, crime in our community continues to decline;
an upgraded and enhanced 911 system has been installed to handle emergency calls for police;
paramedic and fire services; a new synthetic turf soccer field has been built at Ford Park with
grants and corporate sponsorships; the 65-unit Terra Bella low-income senior housing development
has just been completed, and ground breaking will soon take place for a seven-story, 100-room
hotel at The Bicycle Casino.
Even during this ongoing fiscal crisis, the goal of the City Council has been to continue the
delivery of high-quality programs and services to this community. I assure you that this will continue
to remain our focus.
Philip Wagner
City Manager
Bienvenidos al “nuevo y mejorado” Bell Gardens Today. Espero que encuentre cada
publicación trimestral informativa. También, visite nuestra página web al www.bellgardens.org para
obtener información actualizada sobre los programas, servicios, y actividades de la ciudad.
Ya sea que lean el periódico o vean las noticias, es difícil no enterarse de la “Gran
Recesión”. Como a la mayoría de ciudades a través del país, la lenta recuperación económica ha
afectado negativamente a Bell Gardens. A pesar de que ha sido un tremendo desafío, hemos
hecho todo lo posible para satisfacer las demandas por los servicios, aún con la disminución de
los ingresos fiscales.
Creo que poco a poco estamos saliendo de la recesión, y me siento optimista aunque con
cierta cautela porque tomará algún tiempo antes de ver el mismo nivel de ingresos fiscales
recaudados en el pasado. A pesar de los pequeños pasos que la Ciudad ha logrado en la
recuperación, todavía enfrentamos algunos desafíos fiscales muy críticos; sin embargo, les
aseguro que el personal y el Concejo Municipal están trabajando incansablemente para asegurar
que la comunidad sea impactada lo menos posible. Seguiremos ajustando el presupuesto y
aprovechando al máximo nuestros ingresos, pero debe hacerse de una manera sensata y
cautelosa.
A pesar del colapso económico, me complace informarles de los grandes logros que se han
realizado en Bell Gardens. Entre estos logros, sigue disminuyendo la delincuencia en nuestra
comunidad; se ha instalado un sistema de 911 actualizado para manejar las llamadas de
emergencia para los servicios de policía, paramédicos y bomberos; se construyó un campo nuevo
de futbol de césped sintético en el Parque Ford con donaciones y patrocinios corporativos; se
construyó el conjunto residencial Terra Bella de 65 unidades para adultos mayores de bajos
ingresos, y pronto se iniciará la construcción de un hotel de siete pisos con 100 habitaciones en el
Bicycle Casino.
Aun durante esta crisis financiera, el objetivo del Concejo Municipal ha sido continuar
proporcionando programas y servicios de alta calidad para esta comunidad. Les aseguro que esto
continuará siendo nuestro enfoque.

Bell Gardens Hosts
Student Government Day
Bell Gardens Anfitriona
el Día de Gobierno Estudiantil
E
tudents from Bell Gardens High School received hands-onexperience in the inter-workings of municipal government during
the recent Annual Student Government Day. The students assumed
the roles of the Bell Gardens City Council and city staff to actually
experience the day-to-day operation and management of local municipal
government.
S
studiantes de la Preparatoria Bell Gardens experimentaron de
forma directa el funcionamiento interno del gobierno municipal
durante el reciente Día Anual de Gobierno Estudiantil. Los
estudiantes asumieron las funciones del Concejo Municipal y del
personal para experimentar realmente la operación y administración
cotidiana del gobierno municipal local.
“Student Government Day gives us an opportunity to educate the future
leaders of our community about the critical role that local government
plays in the quality of life of every Bell Gardens resident,” explained the
Mayor. “After the program and talking to some of the students, there is
no question that they were encouraged and motivated, not just about what
we do in public service, but also about the opportunities that are available
to them in the future should they choose local government as a career”,
he added.
"El Día de Gobierno Estudiantil nos da una oportunidad de educar a los
futuros líderes de nuestra comunidad sobre el papel fundamental que
desempeña la Ciudad en la calidad de vida de cada residente de Bell
Gardens", explicó el Alcalde. "Después del evento y de hablar con
algunos de los estudiantes, no cabe duda de que se animaron y
motivaron, no solamente con lo que hacemos en el servicio público, sino
también con las oportunidades que tienen disponibles en el futuro si
eligen gobierno local como una carrera", agregó.
“The program is designed to give students an understanding of city
government and how it functions,” explained City Manager Philip
Wagner. “The City has participated in this event for many years and the
students definitely receive a true perspective of local government,”
Wagner said.
"El programa fue creado para darle a los estudiantes conocimiento del
gobierno municipal y cómo funciona", explicó el Gerente Municipal
Philip Wagner. "La ciudad ha participado en este evento durante muchos
años y los estudiantes definitivamente adquieren una perspectiva real de
cómo funciona el gobierno local", dijo Wagner.
Following the Student City Council
Meeting, Bell Gardens officials, staff,
students, and representatives from the
Montebello Unified School District
attended a luncheon hosted by the
Bicycle Casino. Everyone enjoyed a
delicious meal while listening to guest
speaker Abel Avalos. Mr. Avalos is a
Bell Gardens High School and Harvard
University graduate who recently joined
the City’s management staff as Director
of Community Development. He
encouraged students to pursue their
education and possibly consider a
career in city government. BG

Garfield Avenue
Crosswalks to be Improved
T
o increase safety and pedestrian visibility, the City will install
pole-mounted flashers at two intersections, Garfield Avenue at
Muller Street and Garfield Avenue at Quinn Street.
Installing flashing beacons approved per state standards, mounted
signs or sign poles high off the ground provide increase visibility of
the crosswalk. The beacons would be activated by a pedestrian
pushing the designated button. In addition, the reliability and lifetime
of the flashers should be greater than the in-pavement systems since
vehicles will not be constantly driving over them.
The current in-pavement, solar powered, wireless lighting system at
these sites have not proven reliable.
Staff will also be identifying appropriate funding for the installation
of three ADA compliant pedestrian ramps at these intersections. BG
65-Unit Affordable Senior
Housing Project Opens
T
he Bell Gardens City Council was joined recently by a
distinguished gathering of local officials and community leaders,
including Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, in a ribbon
cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion and grand opening of the
Terra Bella Senior Apartments.
Located at 5720 Clara Street, the Spanish revival style development
offers 65 one-and-two bedroom apartments for qualified low income
seniors. The property was previously underutilized with two blighted
vacant buildings that were eye-sores for the community.
“Terra Bella is a welcomed addition to the community. By offering
affordable and pleasant senior-living, Terra Bella will undoubtedly
enrich resident quality of life through an array of substantive services,”
the Mayor said.
The housing community was developed by Abode Communities, Inc., a
company specializing in senior and affordable housing developments.
Residents will receive assistance with daily living activities, health and
wellness programs, and counseling and recreational activities. The
property will also feature a community room, laundry facilities, a
community garden, and a mind-body fitness area.
The development is slated to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) for Homes Platinum rating making it a
healthy, environmentally friendly place for seniors to age in place
independently.BG
Se Harán Mejoras en los Pasos de
Peatones en Garfield Avenue
P
ara aumentar la seguridad y visibilidad peatonal, la ciudad
instalará luces intermitentes montadas sobre postes en dos
intersecciones, Garfield Avenue en la calle Muller y Garfield
Avenue en la calle Quinn.
La instalación de las señales intermitentes, rótulos montados o signos
sobre postes desde un nivel alto aumentan la visibilidad del paso de
peatones. Los señalamientos peatonales se activarían pulsando un
botón designado. Además, la fiabilidad y vida útil de estos
señalamientos peatonales serán mejores que los sistemas actuales en el
pavimento ya que los vehículos no conducirían constantemente sobre
ellos.
El sistema actual de iluminación inalámbrica de energía solar en el
pavimento ha demostrado no ser confiable.
El personal también obtendrá fondos para la instalación de tres
rampas peatonales en estas intersecciones de acuerdo a la Ley para
Personas con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en inglés). BG
Abre Nuevo Complejo de Viviendas Asequibles
Para Personas de Edad Avanzada
E
l Concejo Municipal de Bell Gardens fue acompañado
recientemente por un distinguido grupo de funcionarios locales
y líderes comunitarios, entre ellos la Congresista Lucille RoybalAllard, en una ceremonia para cortar el listón y celebrar la gran
apertura de los Apartamentos Para Personas de Edad Avanzada Terra
Bella.
Ubicado en 5720 Clara Street, el desarrollo de estilo español ofrece 65
apartamentos de una y dos habitaciones para personas de edad
avanzada de bajos ingresos. Anteriormente no se dio buen uso a la
propiedad, con dos edificios vacíos y deteriorados que daban una vista
desagradable a la comunidad.
"Terra Bella es bien recibido por la comunidad. Al ofrecer una
vivienda asequible y placentera para las personas de edad avanzada,
Terra Bella sin duda enriquecerá la calidad de vida de los residentes a
través de una variedad de servicios sustanciales," dijo el Alcalde.
El conjunto residencial fue construido por Abode Communities, Inc.,
una empresa que se especializa en viviendas económicas y para
personas de edad avanzada. Los residentes recibirán asistencia con
actividades cotidianas de la vida, programas de salud y bienestar, y
actividades recreativas y consejería. La propiedad también cuenta con
una sala comunitaria, una lavandería, un jardín comunitario y una
área de salud para la mente y el cuerpo.
El desarrollo está programado para obtener una Calificación Platino
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) para
Hogares convirtiéndolo en un lugar sano y ecológico para que las
personas de edad avanzada vivan de forma independiente. BG

City Council Supports SB 135
Earthquake Warning System
El Concejo Municipal Apoya
un Sistema de Alerta Para Terremotos
T
the Bell Gardens City Council adopted a resolution supporting
Senate Bill 135 that would create an earthquake warning
system in California.
The Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (“UCERF”)
released in 2008 predicted a 99.7 percent likelihood of a 6.7
magnitude earthquake could occur in California over the next 30
years. In addition, a 2013 study published by CALTECH and the
Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology discovered
that a statewide California earthquake involving both the Los Angeles
and San Francisco metropolitan areas may be possible.
The countries of Japan, Mexico, Turkey, Romania, Italy and China
either already have or are currently working on earthquake early
warning systems that are capable of saving lives and mitigating loss.
Several federal, state, and university
agencies have been conducting early
earthquake warning research and
development in California and together they
operate the California Integrated Seismic
Network which has a demonstration
earthquake early warning capability.
E
l Concejo Municipal de Bell Gardens adoptó una resolución
apoyando la Propuesta de Ley SB 135 para crear un sistema
de alerta para terremotos en California.
El Pronóstico Uniforme de Terremotos en California (UCERF, por
sus siglas en inglés) de 2008 pronostica, con un 99.7 por ciento de
probabilidad, que un terremoto de 6.7 de magnitud podría ocurrir en
California durante los próximos 30 años. Además, un estudio
publicado en el 2013 por CALTECH y la Agencia de Ciencia y
Tecnología Marina-Terrestre de Japón descubrió que un terremoto
puede ser posible en todo el estado de California que involucraría las
zonas metropolitanas de Los Ángeles y San Francisco.
Los países de Japón, México, Turquía, Rumania, Italia y China ya
cuentan con o están elaborando sistemas de alerta temprana de
terremotos que son capaces de salvar vidas y
reducir las pérdidas. Varias agencias federales,
estatales, y universitarias han llevado a cabo
investigaciones y desarrollos en la advertencia
temprana de terremotos en California y juntos
operan la Red Sísmica Integrada de California.
“The question is not whether if, but when,
the next big earthquake will strike and it is
very important to implement potentially lifesaving technology for our communities”, the
Mayor said. “This new system would relay
earthquake warnings to devices like cell
phones and computers providing residents
with critical seconds to react and help speed
up emergency response,” he added.
Una vez que se apruebe la legislación, el dinero
para el proyecto, que costará $80 millones, debe
obtenerse a través de una combinación de fondos
estatales y federales. Una vez que los fondos estén
en su lugar, los científicos creen que tardará como
un año para que el sistema esté completamente
desarrollado. BG
Once the legislation is approved, money for
the $80 million project must be secured
through a combination of state and federal
funding. Once the funding is in place,
scientists believe it will take a year or so to
get the system fully online. BG
Upgrade to 911 System
will Speed Emergency Response
T
he police department has nearly completed upgrade of its
E911 Telephone System. E911 or Enhanced 911 is a
software system by which an emergency call into the
police department’s communications center will provide the
caller’s address and location on a map. This allows the
appropriate police, fire, or medical resources to be dispatched
quickly, whether or not the caller knows their exact location. This
project is being paid for through the State of California’s PSAP
(Public Safety Answering Point i.e. the police department’s
communications center) fund.BG
Actualización del Sistema 911
Acelerará la Respuesta a Emergencias
E
l Departamento de Policía está por terminar la
actualización del Sistema Telefónico E911. E911 o
Enhanced 911 (911 Mejorado) es un software por la cual
una llamada de emergencia al centro de comunicaciones del
departamento de policía proveerá la dirección y ubicación en un
mapa de la persona que llama. Esto le permitirá a los servicios
policiacos, de bomberos, y médicos a reaccionar rápidamente,
sin importar si la persona que llama sabe su posición exacta. El
fondo Centro de Comunicaciones de la Seguridad Pública del
Estado de California (PSAP, por sus siglas en inglés) pagará por
este proyecto.BG
"La cuestión no es si ocurrirá el próximo gran
terremoto, sino cuando, y es muy importante poner
en marcha la tecnología que salvará vidas en
nuestras comunidades", dijo el Alcalde. "Este
nuevo sistema le transmitiría advertencias a
dispositivos como teléfonos celulares y
computadoras dándole a los residentes críticos
segundos para reaccionar y ayudar a acelerar la
respuesta de emergencia", agregó.

he police department will be conducting a Mentoring/Leadership
Program this summer for its police officers. This is a volunteer
program that 17 officers have volunteered to attend. The course will

City Council Extends
Transportation Contract
Bell Gardens to Promote
Healthier Habits
he City Council has extended the transit contract with Parking
Company of American (PCA) for an additional five years.
PCA has provided good, professional transit services for the
City and its citizens through its Fixed Route, Dial-A-Ride, and Senior
Bus programs for over four years.
T
T
PCA began providing its services in January 2009 with a brand-new
transit fleet. PCA has paid off the transit vehicles and expressed a
desire to share the cost savings with the City as an incentive for the
City to consider the contract extension. As part of the new contract
approval, PCA will discount the monthly bill for their services by
$4,000, which would amount to $48,000 annually.
The City was awarded funding through the State of
California Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS), NonInfrastructure Grant. The grant will allow the City to
create safer streets, improve communities and promote
physical activity for children and their families. As a result,
these programs help make bicycling and walking to school safer
and more appealing transportation choices thus encouraging a healthy
and active lifestyle from an early age.
“City staff has worked well with the contractor’s administrators, bus
drivers and various support staff to provide a reliable, consistent
public transit service for the community,” the Mayor said.
For more information or questions regarding the City’s public
transportation services, call (562) 806-7770.BG
El Concejo Municipal Renueva
el Contrato de Transporte
he City of Bell Gardens and the Montebello
Unified School District have formed a
partnership dedicated to improving the health
and safety of our students through the “Safe and
Healthy Kids Program”.
The City will work closely with elementary and intermediate schools
in Bell Gardens to encourage our youth to live healthier. Students and
parents will have access to information and programs that encourage
good nutrition, exercise, and pedestrian and bicycle safety. The
program will include numerous activities designed to educate
students and adults on the health benefits and safe practices of
walking and bicycling to school.

E
l Concejo Municipal ha prolongado el contrato de tránsito con
Parking Company of America (PCA, por sus siglas en inglés)
cinco años más. PCA ha proporcionado servicio de tránsito
bueno y profesional para la ciudad y los residentes a través de sus
programas Fixed Route, Dial-a-Ride y Senior Bus durante los últimos
cuatro años.
PCA inició sus servicios de transitó en enero de 2009 con una flota
de transporte nueva. PCA liquido la deuda de la flota y expresó su
deseo de compartir el ahorro con la ciudad como incentivo para que
la ciudad renueve el contrato. Como parte del nuevo contrato, PCA
reducirá la factura mensual por sus servicios $4,000, que ascendería
a $48,000 anualmente.
"El personal de la ciudad ha trabajado bien con el contratista, los
administradores, los choferes de los autobuses, y varios miembros del

National Police and Public Works
Weeks Recognize Dedicated Employees
T
he City of Bell Gardens joined communities throughout
the nation and honored our law enforcement community
by celebrating National Police Week May 12-18. In 1962,
President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers
Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls as
National Police Week. It has become a collaborative effort by
many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s men and
women in public safety who serve our communities.
“National Police Week honors the service and sacrifice of public
safety officers who have unselfishly committed themselves to
protecting others and pays special tribute to those who have lost
their lives in the line of duty,” said Chief of Police Robert Barnes.
The Neighborhood Watch Program recognized our officers with a
luncheon and Annual Blue Mass.
Police to Install Automatic
License Plate Readers
T
he police department will be installing a stationary Automated
License Plate Reader (ALPR) System at a heavily traveled
location in the City. This technology is already being used in
our police vehicles. An ALPR System is a
series of cameras that take photographs of
vehicle license plates that pass by the police
vehicle or the stationary cameras. The license
plate is then queried through the Department of
Motor Vehicles and other databases to
determine if the vehicle is stolen, or it is
associated with a wanted person or crime. It
will then alert the officer or a dispatcher with
the vehicle information. This new technology
was paid for through the State Homeland
Security Grant Program. BG
The week of May 19-25 marks the National Observance of Public
Works Week in celebration of the tens of thousands of men and
women in America who maintain the public buildings and
facilities, roads, parks, and
provide services collectively
known as Public Works.
“Public Works Week seeks to
enhance the prestige of the
professionals who serve the
public good every day with
great commitment,” said Bell
Gardens Public Works Director
Chau Vu. “We depend on these
dedicated employees who are
always there and always ready
to serve the community.”BG
Bell Gardens Promueve
Hábitos más Saludables
L
a ciudad de Bell Gardens y el Distrito Escolar
Unificado de Montebello han formado una
asociación dedicada a mejorar la salud y
seguridad de nuestros estudiantes a través del
"Programa de Niños Seguros y Saludables".
El Estado de California le otorgó fondos a la ciudad a
través de la subvención Rutas Seguras para las Escuelas.
El subsidio le permitirá a la ciudad construir calles más
seguras, mejorar las comunidades y promover la actividad
física para los niños y sus familias. Como resultado, estos
programas hacen el andar en bicicleta y el caminar opciones de
transporte más seguras y atractivas para ir a la escuela, fomentando
un estilo de vida sano y activo desde muy temprana edad.
La ciudad colaborará con las escuelas primarias y secundarias en
Bell Gardens para animar a nuestros jóvenes a vivir más saludable.
Los estudiantes y los padres tendrán acceso a la información y
programas que promueven el ejercicio, la buena nutrición y normas
de seguridad para los ciclistas y peatones. El programa incluirá
numerosas actividades para educar a los estudiantes y adultos en los
beneficios del cuidado de la salud y hábitos seguros al caminar y
montar en bicicleta a la escuela.

La Policía Instalará Lector de
Placas Automatizado
E
l Departamento de Policía estará instalando un Sistema de
Lector de Placas Automatizado Inmóvil (ALPR, por sus siglas
en inglés) en un sitio de mucho tráfico en la Ciudad. Esta
tecnología se usa actualmente en nuestras patrullas. Un
Sistema ALPR es una serie de cámaras que toman
fotografías de las placas de los vehículos cuando pasan
por delante de una patrulla o las cámaras inmóviles. La
placa es buscada en la base de datos del Departamento de
Vehículos Motorizados para determinar si el vehículo es
robado o si está involucrado con una persona buscada o
un delito. Entonces el sistema le avisará a un agente de
policía u operador de emergencias con la información del
vehículo. El Programa de Subvenciones para la Seguridad
Nacional pagó por esta nueva tecnología. BG
Las Semanas Nacionales de la Policía
y Obras Públicas Reconocen a
Empleados Dedicados
L
a ciudad de Bell Gardens se unió a comunidades de todo el
país para honrar a las agencias del orden público al celebrar
la Semana Nacional de la Policía el 12 al 18 de mayo. En
1962, el Presidente Kennedy proclamó el 15 de mayo como el Día
Nacional Conmemorativo de Los Agentes del Orden y la semana en
la que el 15 de mayo cae como la Semana Nacional de la Policía. Es
un esfuerzo colaborativo de muchas organizaciones dedicadas a
honrar a los hombres y las mujeres de la seguridad pública en los
Estados Unidos que sirven a nuestras comunidades.
"La Semana Nacional de la Policía honra el servicio y el sacrificio
de los oficiales de la seguridad pública que se han comprometido a
proteger a los demás y rinde un homenaje especial a quienes han
perdido sus vidas en el cumplimiento de su deber," dijo el Jefe de
Policía Robert Barnes.
La semana del 19 al 25 de mayo marca la observancia Nacional de
