Town Council Recap: Sheriff's Town Hall, Food Trucks and Movies, Town Council Elections

In addition to setting the date for the there were several other items of note discussed at Tuesday's meeting.

• The Altadena Sheriff's Station's Capt. Steve McLean will host another town hall meeting on Thursday March 24 at at 6 p.m.  The purpose of the town hall meeting is to discuss efforts to follow up on complaints that were made at a .  Apparently, since then McLean has put together an ad-hoc committee to look into resident complaints and make suggestions for improving the department, and those results will be discussed next week.
• McLean also noted that the is still going strong with 22 at-risk teens who are working on helping to solve their problems.  Anybody who knows an at-risk youth who might need help is being asked to contact the department to enroll in the next session of the program in the coming months.
• The Town Council is looking for people to serve on the Pasadena Unified redistricting committee that is developing a for school board members rather than an at-large system.  County Supervisor Michael Antonovich is responsible for the appointments but has asked the Town Council to make the recommendations for who to select.  The selection must be made in the next month.
• Town Council chair Gino Sund also said at the meeting that he believes the redistricting plan will hurt Altadena and should be opposed (it would have to be passed by voters to be put into place).  
• The school district and Town Council will hold a joint meeting on the first Tuesday in April.
• Al Evans of the County Parks and Recreation Department plugged a free movie night that has recently been started for the third Friday of each month at Farnsworth Park.  Right now the movie is being screened indoors, but will be moved outdoors in the coming months.  In summer, Evans said the department hopes to add food trucks to the event, and possibly even other recreational opportunities like a climbing wall.
• The volunteer in charge of running Town Council elections in June, Eric Pierce, is looking for volunteers from the public.  He can be reached at atcelection@yahoo.com.  Sund suggested that those in town who have accused Town Council members of rigging past elections might want to consider volunteering to ensure the validity of the process.
