At Tuesday night's Altadena Town Council meeting:
- The Board of Supervisors will hold an appeal on the proposed cell phone tower at 147 E. Loma Alta Drive -- it was approved by regional planning, but several neighbors mounted objections to it, and the Supervisors will adjudicate it at next week’s meeting, which will be Tues., June 28, at 500 W. Temple, Room 381 B, starting at 9:30 AM.
- Athens Services will begin its public outreach on the new trash hauling contract at the next Town Council meeting, July 19. Athens is projecting to start service on Sept. 1.
- Also at the next Town Council meeting, the council election will be certified and the new council seated (by the time this agenda item turned up Tuesday night, the council no longer had a quorum).
- In public safety, Sheriff Lt. Joseph Dempsey said that there was not a lot of information on the June 14 and 15 shootings and encouraged anyone with information to call him at the station or anonymously contact Crimestoppers.
- CHP Officer Ming-Yang Hsu said that there had been three fatalities on Angeles Crest Highway since it reopened June 3: a motorcyclist who was unable to make a curve and slid down the mountain; an alcohol-involved collision into a tree; and a driver who abruptly turned left where there was no turn and went down the mountain. As of the meeting, Hsu said there were a total of 12 collisions. For comparison, there were 11 collisions the entire month of June 2009, before the road was closed by the Station Fire.
