Claremont COURIER/Friday, May 29, 2015CITY NEWS

Claremonters will beforced to dip into theirwallets as the city

council adopts an ordinance in-creasing sanitation and street

sweeping rates effective July 1.A recent evaluation and eight-year

budget projection of Claremont’s Sani-tation Fund conducted by city staff de-termined current fees are inadequate andincreases are necessary to sustain opera-tions and address vehicle replacementreserve requirements.

Sanitation rates for trash and recy-cling services will increase by three per-cent, or 61 cents to 93 cents per monthfor an average residential customer. Asingle-family residence with one 35-gal-lon refuse container, one 90-gallon recy-cling container and one 90-gallon greenwaste container will now pay $21.04.

Valet automated container service, fa-

vored by many Claremont property

owners, will cost $22.80 per month forthe first three containers.

“I own 10 units and I’m one of theoldest continuous users,” said RayFowler of the valet service. “This has al-ways been a tremendous asset.”

The city of Claremont will continue

to provide sanitation service in-house,utilizing its fleet of 24 vehicles—eightresidential trucks, four commercialtrucks, three roll-off trucks and ninemiscellaneous support vehicles—withvehicle replacements paid by the Sanita-tion Fund. Two diesel engine residentialtrucks will be replaced this year withCNG equivalents at an estimated cost of $656,830.

Along with sanitation rates, residentswill also see a 10 percent increase, or 34cents per month for the average residen-tial customer, on their street sweepingbill. According to city records, streetsweeping fees have not increased sinceJuly 1, 1994 and the boost is necessary,

as the Consumer Price Index in the localarea has increased by 58 percent, mak-

ing the current fees inadequate to coverthe cost of service.

The approved fee increases fall in linewith the two to three percent annual in-crease recommended by the SanitationAd Hoc Committee and is projected tobring an additional $189,176 to the San-

itation Fund.The city is required to cover all of its

expenses for sanitation services throughfees. The new rates are designed to pro-duce the minimum revenue needed tocover projected operating costs, includ-ing direct operating expenses, adminis-trative costs, compliance with state andfederal regulation requirements andequipment repairs and replacements.

The city’s reserve policy requires thatthe Sanitation Fund set aside a mini-mum of 15 percent of annual expendi-tures for vehicle and equipment replace-ment. While the Sanitation Fund isexpected to dip below the reserve mini-mum between 2015 and 2020, city staff

noted annual expenditures would be re-duced by approximately $500,000 be-

ginning in 2020, as the outstanding loaon the city yard facility will be fully repaid.

A written notice of a public hearingadvising residents of the proposed in-creases was sent to all Claremont property owners and current customers the

week of April 6.Residents were given the opportunit

to submit a written protest against theproposed increases, but the oppositioncame up short. The city received only1,193 of the required 4,986 protestsneeded to constitute a majority in opposition to the proposed rate increases.Had more residents filed their opposi-tion with the city, council memberswould have been prevented from ap-proving the rate increases and inflationary adjustments.

City council approves rate hike to sanitation fees

Claremont’s Community ServicesDirector Kathleen Trepa will beheading to the city of Goleta out-

side Santa Barbara, after accepting thedeputy city manager position.

Ms. Trepa came to Claremont in 2012 after a morethan 20-year career with the city of San Marcos. Shereplaced the city’s previous human and communityservices director Michele McNeill, who left Clare-

mont after just six months.Pat Malloy will once again serve as interim direc-tor, a position he held until December of 2010 when,under a struggling budget, the city cut the director of community services position entirely. Mr. Malloy hadworked for more than 30 years for the city of Arcadia.

In April of 2010, Mr. Malloy went before the com-munity services commission to express his concern

that outsourcing services like trash collection wouldleave the department gutted.

“If we lose the solid waste program, there’s nobodyleft in the department,” Mr. Malloy said. “We’ve got amonstrous, beautiful facility down there with just afew people around. Right now in the administrativebuilding, there are six of us occupying the buildingwith over half the building empty. I mean, it’s like aghost town.”

At the time, community service commissionerswere also worried that the shift from using city em-

ployees to outsourcing services would impact Clare-mont’s image of a well-maintained and attractive city.Commissioners and city staff mulled over downsizingto a more traditional public works department or dis-solving the department altogether, with staff and func-tions being shifted to other departments like humanservices and engineering.

Instead, the city of Claremont combined the human

and community services departments, with Ms. Trepat the helm. The departments were split up again lastsummer after the city hired Anne Turner as its direc-tor of human services.

Mr. Malloy currently receives about $145,000 ayear from CalPERS from the city of Arcadia. A statemandate is in place to limit the number of hoursworked by any employee receiving CalPERS to nomore than 960 hours per fiscal year. Mr. Malloy’s pascale for the part-time, interim position with Clare-mont was not included in the council agenda packet.

His payscale will be obtained from the city by theCOURIER when it becomes available.The Claremont City Council approved Mr. Mal-

loy’s appointment on Tuesday, May 26. He will begiwork on Monday, June 8. Ms. Trepa’s last day isThursday, June 4. —Kathryn Dun

POLICE BLOTTER

The dance for ownershipof the Claremont watersystem resumed Tues-

day, with the city transmittingan updated offer to Golden

State Water Company to pur-chase its water delivery systemand assets for $56,335,000.

This is the third appraisal and offermade to the private, investor-ownedcompany that serves water to residentsand business owners in Claremont.

“Since the last offer of $55,094,000in October of 2013, Golden State Water

has increased rates and revenues,” saidCity Manager Tony Ramos. “The offermade to Golden State Water is based ona comprehensive and detailed propertydescription and is for the current fairmarket value of the utility system.”

The offer was updated as part of the

city’s eminent domain case againstGolden State Water Company. At a mo-tion for judgment hearing on April 30,2015, the court ordered the city toamend its complaint within 60 days andto include an updated offer letter toGolden State Water. Before submittinga new offer, the city directed its ap-praiser to update the valuation, takinginto account changes in the system

since the last appraisal in 2013.The updated offer made by the city is

based on information contained in thelatest annual report filed by GoldenState for the Claremont District for De-cember 31, 2014. The offer also con-tains a more detailed description of the

Claremont water system. The watersystem services all of Claremont, aswell as small portions of the cities of Montclair, Pomona and Upland, and asmall adjacent area of unincorporatedLos Angeles County.

Golden State Water Company held apublic hearing on rates and conserva-tion on Thursday, May 28 at El Robleauditorium. A report on the results of

that meeting will be published in theCOURIER next week.

Golden State began the current ratesetting process in July 2014 when theyapplied for an order to decrease waterservice rates by 0.50 percent in 2016,only to increase rates by 3.21 percent

2017; and increase rates again by 3.12percent in 2018.Mayor Corey Calaycay, Councilma

Joe Lyons and City Manager TonyRamos will travel to San Francisco nemonth to testify in the Golden StateWater CPUC rate case on June 4.

The COURIER will continue to update residents on the details.

iPads in the classroomDear Editor:

I am writing in response to YouY-oung Kang’s viewpoint in the May 22COURIER and her opinion about tech-nology integration in CUSD.

I should start by saying that I am aClaremont High technology integratorteacher. I respect our district’s visionand leadership in many areas, includingthe integration of technology in the

classroom.Taking state and federal assessments

online isn’t a choice that Claremont orany other district chose, but is rather arequirement. The superintendent didnot want to spend a great deal of moneyon testing equipment that would bewheeled out just once a year, butthoughtfully looked at many options of how to best integrate technology intothe classroom of CUSD students withdevices that could also be used in state-mandated testing.

The tech ed department, staffed withsome of the brightest and most innova-tive teachers and administrators I havehad the pleasure of working with in my

30- plus years as a teacher, looked atmany models and platforms and “did

their homework” before settling on theiPad as our tool. I am a bit confusedabout the author’s complaint about cre-ativity. The iPad allows for fantasticmultimedia presentations via iMovie,brilliant presentations via Keynote,many different infographic apps to cre-

ate digital posters, apps such as Nota-bility that allow students to annotatetexts, exercises and more.

I have been fortunate to be a technol-ogy integrator teacher of EnglishLearner students at CHS, and am ableto have them use iPads in instruction,use bilingual dictionary apps, useAdobe Voice to record audio, collabo-rate on projects via GoogleDrive and somuch more.

Professor Kang could visit one of thetechnology integrator classrooms to seefirst-hand the creativity that our stu-dents experience every day.

While we don’t have the luxury of rejecting the “testing regime” as the au-

thor suggests, I applaud our district forletting student work, creativity and in-struction drive our technology choices.

I have to disagree with her that the iPadis an expensive toy; it’s a powerful andengaging tool in the hands of a teacherwith the proper training and support of the district.

I, too, have a child in CUSD, and hehas had the pleasure of terrific instruc-

tion from fine teachers, enhanced andamplified by the thoughtful use of iPads with specific applications onlypossible with the iPad.

Stop the Super PACsDear Editor:

The explosive growth of Super PACsis a major outgrowth of the SupremeCourt’s decision in Citizens United, andit is undermining the integrity and ef-fectiveness of our nation’s anti-corrup-tion campaign finance laws.

Super PACs raise and spend unlim-ited amounts and serve as vehicles fordonors and candidates to bypass the

contribution limits that apply to a can-didate’s campaign—limits enacted by

Congress to prevent corruption.It’s time to close this loophole that i

letting too much big money into ourelections. Tell your Representative tocosponsor and support HR 425, the“Stop Super PAC Candidate Coordination Act” introduced by RepresentativDavid Price and Chris Van Hollen.

Since coordinated expenditures aretreated by law as in-kind contributionsto the candidate, new and effective co-

ordination rules would bring SuperPACs back into the contribution limitsystem and help protect against corruption of public officials.

Congress can fix this. Stand up todaand urge your representative tostrengthen coordination rules and stopSuper PACS from evading the law.

As a practical matter, Super PACs arsidestepping the law that is intended toblock huge and corrupting campaigncontributions. It’s time to establish real-world, common-sense definitions of coruption and close this massive loophole

Help us stop big money by tellingyour representative to cosponsor andsupport HR 425 today!

OBITUARIE

Mario “Marty” Gottuso Sr., a long-time Claremont resident, died on May22, 2015. He was 92.

He was born in 1922 in Utica, NewYork to Vincent Gottuso, a Pentecostalminister, and his wife Evangeline, both

of whose parents immigrated to theUnited States from Sicily, Italy in theearly 1900s. The eldest of 10 children,he spent his early years growing up onthe family farm.

Marty loved school and, as heclaimed, was always the teacher’s pet.However, he had to leave school at age15 during the Great Depression. Heworked laying linoleum, refinishingfurniture and at any other job he couldfind to contribute to his family’s finan-cial needs. Unfortunately, he never re-turned to finish high school. Yet hethrived well beyond any education,spending most of his career in the furni-ture and real estate industries.

Mr. Gottuso proudly served in theUS Army Air Corps during World WarII. In the summer of 1945 he marriedJosephine, whom he met a number of years previously through the “marriagematching” of both of their parents.They were married for 45 years untilher death in 1990. Shortly after theirwedding, the couple headed west toCalifornia, living in Los Angeles andAlhambra. When Marty and Jo moved

to Pomona in the mid-1950s, they be-gan attending the Pomona First BaptistChurch where they were longtime

members. They settled in Claremont in1962, where Mr. Gottuso remained un-til the year after his wife’s passing,when he moved to Upland.

Mr. Gottuso was known as an excep-tional salesperson. It was often said hecould sell someone anything, if he hadenough time to work with them. Heowned Manor House Furniture on HoltAvenue in Pomona for many years.

After closing his furniture store in

1971 he became a realtor, beginningwith a tenure with Herbert Hawkins inPomona followed by a position as salesmanager with Gene Hart Realty inClaremont and Pomona. Marty and Joeventually became the owners of Cen-

tury 21 Gene Hart Realty.As the owner, Mr. Gottuso continuedworking in sales and advertising until“retiring” at a year no one really knows,because he continued to do advertisingfor the company for many years. Withhis cheerful disposition and positive atti-tude, he also maintained his role as en-courager and cheerleader for the realtors.

Mr. Gottuso loved playing the piano,which he learned by ear, and was thelife of any party. He was energetic andpersonable, always keeping the personhe was talking to the priority of theconversation. He was very free withhugs and kisses on the cheeks of thosehe knew for a long time and even peo-

ple he just met.In the final weeks and days prior tohis passing, he was considerate withthose caring for him, rarely complainedand often dressed up so he felt he wasparticipating in the day. He was stillable to talk about world events and askhow each person in the family was do-ing, and continued to give advice. Hereceived wonderful hospice care in hishome through VNA and lived his final

days gracefully and with dignity.Marty loved his family and seemed

to keep living for another family mile-stone, whether it was a graduation,wedding or other significant event.People were amazed at his age, as he

always looked and acted muchyounger. He truly enjoyed life and wilbe missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his sons and daughters-in-law, Vincent and Debbie Gottusand Mario Jr. and Robin Gottuso, andhis daughter Lorraine “Lorie” Ander-son; his grandchildren Kimberly, Mario“Joshua,” Brian and his wife Kathy,Nicole and her husband Andrew Gu-lotta, and Justin and his wife Ann aswell as great-grandchildren Logan andMacey.

While some Clare-mont seniors areconsidering assisted

living, Ruth Pitt has masteredthe art of unassisted living.Maintaining her independencefor the past 100 years, this cen-tenarian has a passion for lifethat doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

On May 21, 1915, Ruth Elizabeth wasborn in Cornwell, New York, the onlydaughter of Elizabeth Tyner. As a youngchild, she moved around the country toNew York, Massachusetts, WashingtonDC and California as her mother foundwork as a stenographer.

In 1935, Ruth found herself in Wash-ington and began working as a file clerk

for National Geographic. A co-workerintroduced her to Bernard Pitt, a youngarmy man whom she would marry andbuild her life. Mr. Pitt served duringWorld War II and was the sole survivorin his troop during the Battle of theBulge. Following an injury during thebattle, Mr. Pitt retired and took on a ca-reer as an attorney for the government—a career that had the newlyweds travelingthe world.

The couple lived in Korea and thenthe Philippines in the late 1950s and itwas here where she met young Bernie, ason born to a co-worker of her husbandwho was given his namesake. Having nochildren of her own, Ms. Pitt was quite

taken with the boy and maintained a re-lationship with the family following her

return to the US, later sponsoring Bernieto come to California for college at theage of 24. He attended Citrus Collegeuntil transferring to Cal Poly where hemajored in hospitality.

“That’s why he loves big parties,” Ms.Pitt says with a smile. “He’s a very con-siderate person and he has a lovely fam-ily with two beautiful children. I lovethem all very much.”

Following Mr. Pitt’s passing, Ms. Pittand her mother moved to Claremont in1967. She worked at the Claremont Col-leges as a secretary and has lived in thesame home for nearly five decades.

“I was fortunate to get a job at theColleges and I stayed there for about 20

years,” says Ms. Pitt.Following her retirement, Ms. Pitt be-

came active in the Claremont commu-nity. She worked for Habitat for Human-ity and was one of the foundingmembers of Active Claremont.

“I had the great honor of picking uptrash off the freeway,” she says.

She’d been a member of the RanchoSanta Ana Botanic Garden for more than15 years where she helped maintain thegrounds, pruning bushes and keeping thegardens nice and neat. She was also ac-tive in the La Verne Trail Trekkers, join-ing the group at 80 years old and hiking

the local trails. She made and has main-tained many dear friendships from those

experiences.Unlike many people her age, Ms. Pit

remains independent, maintaining herresidence with the occasional help of nearby friends and family. She shops

weekly at Trader Joe’s, visits withfriends and attributes her vitality to googenes.

“My mother was 95 and her sisterlived to 102. Longevity runs in my family. At least on the female side,” shesays.

On Sunday, May 17, Ms. Pitt’s familand friends gathered at Blaisdell Park tocelebrate the centenarian. At a shindig,organized by her son Bernie, she and h30 guests dined al fresco, enjoying hamburgers, apple pie and lemonade underthe mature sycamore trees while listen-ing to vintage tunes sung by barbershopquartet Preferred Blend.

A penny-farthing bicycle and its ride

served as additional entertainment, asdid an oversized front-page print of theWashington Post newspaper dated May21, 1915.

Mayor Corey Calaycay, a friend of Ms. Pitt for nearly 25 years, also joinedin the festivities and presented the guesof honor with a certificate from the cityof Claremont commemorating her milestone birthday.

A birthday cake followed, completewith 100 candles, with the mayor lead-ing guests in a resounding rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

“It’s such a lovely day,” said Ms. Pitt“I’ve got good family and good friendsI’m lucky to have such a life.”

Happy 100th birthday Ruth!—Angela [email protected]
