Holden Bill Approved by Committee | Roush Joins STAAR | Francis Second in Race
~ The Assembly Judiciary Committee today overwhelmingly approved Assembly Bill 425, co-authored by Assemblymember Chris Holden, who represents Monrovia. AB 525 makes it more difficult for chains to terminate franchise operators by prohibiting corporations from closing a franchise business unless there has been a substantial violation of the contract, the law or local regulations. It also allows franchisees to keep the equity they invested in the event of termination. Source: Holden press release
Comment: You can see the bill here ( http://goo.gl/d8GVBI ). What is interesting is that Holden introduced a bill that would impose higher fines on private investigators (see original: http://goo.gl/TuRt0q ), but then it was apparently gutted by amendment and turned into a bill regulating franchises.
~ J. Steven Roush, CPA, has been appointed to the board of Monrovia's STAAR Surgical. http://goo.gl/mXgZON
~ Monrovia's Empire Bikes reports that its own Scott Francis came in second in the Pro 1-2 at the Los Angeles Circuit Race.

Monrovia Must Cut Water Usage by 28%; More Ballots to Count; New Company May Run Street Fair; Scaffolding Gone; Skateboarding Crack-Down
In his weekly report, Monrovia City Manager Oliver Chi reports that ...
- The State Water Resources Control Board has determined that Monrovia must cut its water consumption by 28% below 2013 levels. Glendora really got socked. It has to cut by 36%.
- "We have somewhere between 800 - 900 additional ballots that must be counted before the election results can be finalized." If you want to watch, the count will begin Thursday, April 23, at 8 a.m. in the Police Department Community Room.
- No truth to the rumor that the Friday Night Family Street Fair was going to be terminated as of June 30. But there will likely be a change in the company that runs it. Chi said a city committee is unanimously recommending that LA PartyWorks run the show.
- The scaffolding has finally been removed from the sidewalk at 316 South Myrtle Avenue (across from the Library).
- Extra patrols to crack down on skateboarding in Old Town.

Night Trains Coming
Nightly train testing for the 11.5-mile Foothill Gold Line light rail project from Pasadena to Azusa will begins today and will continue through early June, Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.
To limit noise during the night testing, the grade crossing bells will be disconnected and Metro train operators will use their optional "quiet-zone" horns, which will sound similar to buzzers and are commonly used in residential areas. Sheriff Deputies will be supporting the effort.
