A proposed $1 million parking expansion to the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park and Thompson Creek Trail received less than rave reviews at Thursday nightâ??s Community Services Commission meeting. The project is scheduled for final review by city council next month. Commissioners, wary of the price tag and size of the project, suggested the council return the project back to staff to reevaluate alternatives before moving forward with the 7-figure project.

Negotiations between the city of
Claremont and the Claremont Police
Officers Association (CPOA)
may be at a close, but the litigation is far
from over.
The police union has filed a writ of mandate requesting
information regarding compensation for the city’s executive
employees and city council members.
In addition to the lawsuit, Claremont Police made
amendments to an “Unfair Practice” charge filed against
the city in late September.
About 100 Claremont residents
gathered Monday night to set
goals for their fight against
Golden State Water Company’s latest
round of proposed water rate increases.
Hal Hargrave and Randy Scott are organizing “Claremonters
Against Outrageous Water Rates,” a group focused
on presenting a united front against steadily rising
water bills.
Golden State Water Company and Three Valley Municipal
Water District have recently funded a new round
of the turf removal program. Claremont property owners
can now receive a rebate of $1.50 per square foot for turf
removed and replaced with lower water use plantings up
to a maximum award of $3000.
The National Council for Research on Women
(NCRW) held its Western Regional Conference, "Stalled
in the Pipelines: Opening Pathways to Women's Leadership,"
at Claremont Graduate University last month to
strategize with NCRW member research, policy, and advocacy
centers about how to advance women's leadership
across sectors and increase the impact of their
collective work.
With less than 19 percent voter
turnout, what can be done to increase
the number of Claremonters
submitting their ballots?
In elections nationwide, cities are turning out arguably
“wishy-washy” voter turnouts. Claremont,
though better than many other cities, is no exception.
City records state that only 25 percent exercised their
right to vote in March’s Claremont City Council election,
a decent number for a city election officials say,
but still lukewarm.
School board candidate Sam Mowbray, above, and board member Mary Caenepeel had plenty to celebrate during early polling results at a campaign party at Mr. Mowbray's Claremont home. The unofficial election race results featured Hilary LaConte leading the way with 3123 votes (43.13 percent) followed by Mr. Mowbray with 2630 votes (36.32 percent) and Joe Farrell earning 1488 votes (20.55 percent).
Claremont’s financial projections
have taken a positive shift. The
city originally estimated a possible
$2.3 million deficit by 2015-2016 if expenditures
and revenue remain the same.
However, new numbers presented by City
Manager Jeff Parker at Tuesday night’s
city council meeting revealed a new reduced
deficit of about $570,000.
Claremont Place Senior Living named Lindsay von
Zabern as the new executive director for the community.
She is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day
overall operations of the community.
