SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego's 73rd City Council was sworn in Thursday morning alongside new Mayor Todd Gloria, bringing a Democratic supermajority to the council chambers.Departing councilmembers Georgette Gomez, Barbara Bry, Chris Ward, Mark Kersey and Scott Sherman offered thanks to the citizens of San Diego and words of advice to incoming councilmembers Joe LaCava, Stephen Whitburn, Marni von Wilpert, Raul Campillo and Sean Elo-Rivera as the city faces one of the most tumultuous periods in its history.The 73rd City Council must contend with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and all the physical, economic and budgetary issues it presents the city. Other major items before the council, which now sits at an 8-1 Democrat advantage, include the city's Climate Action Plan and battling climate change, homelessness and rising housing prices, the cleanup of the Tijuana River Basin, social and racial justice and large-scale projects such as Pure Water.A visibly emotional Gomez thanked her family, wife and supporters for a brief but significant four-year term representing the city's District 9. Her tenure, including the last two years as Council President, saw a citywide focus on climate change, racial justice and infrastructure projects.Her replacement, Elo-Rivera, said he would continue radical reform to better the city. He drew issue with the description of the many problems caused by COVID-19 as "unprecedented.""For too many San Diegan families, the challenges presented by COVID- 19 are not unprecedented but all too typical," he said. "We must not go back to normal. Normal is not good enough."Bry, a candidate for mayor against Gloria, said she was proud of her four years representing District 1 and that she would continue to "demand accountability," from city government. She pointed to the 101 Ash Street real estate deal and the failed Soccer City proposal as examples where she blew the whistle about backroom deals.Her replacement, LaCava, said his engineering background would continue Bry's policy of no-nonsense straight talk. He hoped to work with all city departments to survive the pandemic."Successful navigation of these uncertain pandemic waters will take all of us working together," he said.District 3's Whitburn thanked his predecessor, now-Assemblyman Chris Ward, for continuing to "break the rainbow ceiling." He was sworn in by former Councilwoman Christine Kehoe -- the first openly LGBT person elected to office in San Diego County in 1993 -- and all LGBT former District 3 councilmembers were in attendance. This included Kehoe, Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, Gloria, Ward and now Whitburn himself.He said he wanted to move forward with the city into a new era."We need to advance past the us versus them mentality," that he said plagued politics around the country but especially in San Diego.Von Wilpert took over from Mark Kersey in District 5 and said she was dedicated to empowering justice throughout the city. She said action must be swift and decisive on how to tackle COVID-19."With a vaccine on the verge, hope is on the horizon," she said, adding the importance of bipartisanship. "We must reject anger and division."In District 7, former Councilman Scott Sherman said he stuck to his guns and didn't sell out to special interests.He reminded his former colleagues and the new elected officials of their responsibility."It's not your money," Sherman said. "We are stewards of the taxpayers' money."His replacement, Campillo, said although he comes from a different political party than Sherman, all the members of the council serve their constituents."We must not let the past impede us," he said. "San Diego has more young people, more diversity, but more to fix than ever."Later in the afternoon, the council selected Jennifer Campbell, who represents District 2, as its president. The council voted 5-4 in favor of Campbell over District 4 Councilwoman Monica Montgomery Steppe. 3955

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County had the fourth-most homeless residents in the U.S. this year, according to a report released Monday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. San Diego County's data was taken from the 2018 Point in Time Study, completed Jan. 26. The region had an official count of 8,576 homeless residents during the three-hour window in which the count took place, behind Seattle/King County in Washington, Los Angeles County and New York City, which topped the list with 78,676 homeless residents. According to the report, roughly 5,000 members of San Diego's homeless population are unsheltered, living on the street, in a vehicle or in a hand-built structure such as a tent. Another 3,500 homeless residents were sheltered at the time of the study, living in emergency shelters, safe havens and transitional housing. The county's count could be higher than 9,000 homeless residents, however, because the San Diego Regional Task Force on the Homeless did not count residents in recreational vehicles and some residents in shelters. County officials and homeless advocates believe the actual homeless population could total as high as 9,220, but the true count has remained opaque since the task force, which oversees the Point in Time County, announced the error May 31. Overall, California leads all other states with 129,972 homeless individuals, followed by New York at 91,897. At the time the counts were completed in January, California laid claim to 24 percent of the country's total homeless population. Combined with New York, Florida, Texas and Washington, roughly half of the country's homeless population was clustered in five states. Homelessness in California has declined in recent years despite the robust total. The state's homeless population fell by 1,560, or 1.2 percent, from 2017 to 2018 and 9,014, or 6.5 percent, from 2007 to 2018. New York and Massachusetts have seen the biggest increases from 2007 to 2018, adding 29,296 and 4,941 homeless residents to their counts, respectively. 2052

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Parole was granted Wednesday for the man who killed a 20-year-old college student and pizza deliveryman in 1995 when he was a 14-year-old gang member.Tony Hicks, now 37, was the first youth in California to be tried as an adult under a law adopted in 1995 that allowed juveniles as young as 14 to be tried as adults for murder. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Tariq Khamisa and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He has served 23 years behind bars.Wednesday's decision, made by the state parole board, now goes to the governor's office for possible approval.Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed Senate Bill 1391, which eliminates the ability to try a defendant under the age of 16 as an adult for any violent crime. Those convicted under the new law will be held in locked juvenile facilities instead of adult prisons."If this law (SB 1391) had been in effect in 1995, Tony (Hicks) would have been prosecuted in Juvenile Court and paroled many years ago,'' said Azim Khamisa, the victim's father. ``The other two individuals involved in the crime were sentenced in Juvenile Court. Tony made a mistake. He has atoned for it in many ways. He has paid his debt to society. It is time for him to be it in many ways. He has paid his debt to society. It is time for him to be released."Tasreen Khamisa also supports the release of her brother's killer. She said that when he was 16, an immature Hicks was incarcerated with some of the most hardened adult offenders in the state at Folsom Prison.According to spokeswoman Tanya Sierra, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office has not written a letter opposing Hicks' parole, nor has it submitted a letter in favor of his release. District Attorney Summer Stephan has the option of taking a position at the hearing, which she is scheduled to attend, along with Deputy District Attorney Richard Sachs, Sierra said.In the wake of his son's murder, Azim Khamisa reached out to Hicks' grandfather in the spirit of forgiveness and founded the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, which ``is dedicated to teaching and inspiring forgiveness, hope and peace in youth and setting them on a path towards opportunity,'' according to the San Diego nonprofit's mission statement.``We plan to bring Tony on to the staff at TKF where he can share his powerful message about the consequences of violence and the benefits of restorative justice with thousands of youth,'' Tasreen Khamisa said. ``The bottom line is that our kids need Tony. He will have a powerful voice in helping stop youth violence.''In preparation for his second chance at freedom, Hicks has earned his GED and college credits toward an associate's degree, according to the foundation. He has also been writing a blog for the TKF website, answering students' questions.The Khamisas traveled to a San Luis Obispo prison to attend the state parole board hearing. 2908

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition today will join a nationwide effort to ``Clear the Shelters'' today for the duration of August.The campaign to get as many pets adopted as possible is a little different this year. The Clear the Shelters event, instead of being a single- day effort, will be a month-long adoption drive to allow for virtual adoption consultations by appointment. In addition to promoting adoptions, the campaign encourages donations to participating shelters.``San Diego Humane Society is excited to be working to ``Clear the Shelters,'''' says Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of San Diego Humane Society. ``This important nationwide campaign will give tens of thousands of animals throughout San Diego County a second chance.''Since 2015, the Clear the Shelters campaign has helped more than 410,000 pets find new homes nationwide.``The County of San Diego's Department of Animal Services shelters in Bonita and Carlsbad have many wonderful animals waiting to be adopted into loving homes,'' said Kelly Campbell, director of animal services for the county. ``While the pandemic has certainly created challenges for us all, now may be the perfect time to add a new pet to the family, especially if you find yourself spending more time at home.''The San Diego Humane Society said benefits of adopting a pet include being more affordable, knowing the animal has been assessed for behavior and medical conditions and allowing prospective owners to receive pet-specific resources. The society offers training advice, pet supplies and educational information to support pet families for the lifespan of a pet. ``During the pandemic, we have learned how to embrace change, and that change could include an adoptable pet,'' said Judi Sanzo, president of Rancho Coastal Humane Society. ``Shelters around the country want to remind you that your new best friend could be waiting, tail wagging and ready to join you while you work from home. While Rancho Coastal continues to match pets with their new families, it's important to remember that the virus may be temporary, but pets are a lifetime commitment.'' 2148

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Board of Supervisors Tuesday directed San Diego County's chief administrative officer to create a stronger wildfire protection plan.By a unanimous vote, the board asked Helen Robbins-Meyer to find ways to expand and more strongly support fire-safe councils, enhance pre-fire vegetation management, improve pre-fire emergency planning, strengthen fire-safety measures in new construction, and reduce loss from wildfires in existing buildings.Robbins-Meyer will work with the Fire Authority, Sheriff's Department and other relevant county departments and outside agencies to present recommendations within 90 days.There are 60,000 homes in the county's unincorporated areas that are at a high risk for wildfire, board Chairwoman Dianne Jacob said. She added that recent rainstorms have made the back country verdant -- but additional vegetation will lead to more danger as fire season begins.RELATED: How to prepare defensible space around your homeThe county has experienced several devastating blazes since 2003, including the Cedar and Witch Creek fires, resulting in more than a dozen fatalities, and billions of dollars in property loss and damage.Supervisor Jim Desmond said an improved wildfire protection plan means the county can ``get ahead of the game.''Residents speaking in favor of the protection plan made several suggestions, including working with a wildfire ecologist, not building urban-type developments in high-fire areas, and encouraging homeowners to reduce brush within 100 feet of their property. 1549
