Santa Fe Springs BUSINESS • September 2013 •

Ready, set, go! Now that the lighter summer schedule has officially come to an end for our chamber members, it’s time to mark your calendars for the many seminars, events, and com-mittee meetings which will resume this month.

As many of you were squeezing in that last bit of summer fun, the Santa Fe Springs Chamber board was hold-ing its annual workshop in Indian Wells.

Yes, you heard it right. We met in August in the desert! I can’t think of anything more dedicated than that! Did I also mention they had to travel through the “out of control” Spring-field fire in Banning to get there?

Who were these dedicated individu-als you’re asking? It was your new SFS Chamber board members for 2013-2014, CEO of the chamber Kathie Fink and her staff, City Manager Thaddeus Mc Cormack with his staff and our honorable Mayor Richard Moore and Mayor Pro Tem Juanita Trullijo.

During our two days of meetings, I was once again reminded of how unique our community truly is. We all worked in tandem, exchanging ideas as to how we could best support the needs of the business commu-

nity while expanding our relationship within the community at large in our “new norm” environment.

September is a busy month for the chamber and here are a few of the highlights. We will be having our Business Expo at Heritage Park on Wednesday the 18th. This is a great venue to showcase your company while meeting the other businesses in our community. It’s the perfect excuse to take a walk in the park!

The Youth Enrichment Fund will be starting its mentoring program for our Santa Fe High School students. If you have ever thought of being a mentor, this is the time for a truly rewarding experience.

The chamber will be supporting the community Relay for Life which starts on Friday, September 27, at noon at the Lake Center Athletic Track. It has been through the generosity of our business community, our dedicated residents and our civil servants that this has continued to be such a suc-cess.

As we “Build the Framework to Business Success” I would like to wel-come all our new committee chairper-sons. Your dedication and leadership to the chamber is greatly appreciated.

Be on the lookout for some new ways to get involved with the cham-ber. If you are 35 or younger, you may want to join our new Young Profes-sionals Networking Group.

For those of you who find it difficult to get to a seminar, we will be con-ducting our first webinar in the fall.

Our first topic will consist of ongoing changes in healthcare law.

The chamber will be coordinat-ing with the city to continue the VIP events. This will provide an opportu-nity for our businesses to share their needs and concerns with the city and the chamber.

Let our framework help build your business!

SPIRITT Family Services Launches Social Enterprise Venture

SPIRITT Family Services is based in Santa Fe Springs and has been offering family-centered, strength-based services to the local community since 1972. We specialize in solution-focused case management, counseling, and group-based services to achieve our mission: strong families create stronger communi-ties. For the last 40 years, we have helped families overcome challenges of mental illness, child abuse, domestic violence, and substance abuse, reaching more than 7,500 individuals and families per year!

We are excited to share with you our newest venture: Social Enterprise. To enhance our agency’s growth and sustainability, we have begun offering some of our most proven services to the community as a fee-for-service.

The first Social Enterprise program to be launched will be our Co-Parenting Program, which helps build stronger, more cohesive families. Based on our most successful, proven techniques for building family communication, our Co-Parenting Program focuses on assisting parents who share child custody.

The goal of the Co-Parenting Program is to help parents work together to raise healthy, emotionally stable children. During a two-day workshop, parents learn how to cope with divorce or separation while keeping parental conflicts from affecting their relationship with their child/children. The workshop meets court requirements.

In addition to learning valuable skills, participants in the program have the satisfaction of knowing that 100 percent of the income earned from this pro-gram will be invested back into SPIRITT’s mission, expanding services for local families who need them most. If you or someone you know is interested in attending the next Co-Parenting workshop, scheduled for September 27 and 28, call us at (562) 903-7000 for more information!

Also, make sure to save the date for SPIRITT’s annual fundraiser at the Santa Fe Springs Town Center Hall, Friday November 1, at 5:30 p.m. We would love to see you there! Visit us online at www.spiritt.org for more details, including sponsorship and donation opportunities!

City to Put Oil Production Tax on November BallotBy Thaddeus McCormack, city manager, City of Santa Fe Springs

The City of Santa Fe Springs has prided itself on its excellent quality of life and business-friendly environment. While we are committed to continuing to provide you with the quality public safety, senior, youth and other essential programs our community needs, our effort to do so only gets more challeng-ing due to the slowly recovering economy and continued money grabs from Sacramento.

Over the past five years, Sacramento has taken millions and millions of funding from our City. Last year alone, they seized $20 million in economic redevelop-ment funds when they eliminated a funding source that many California cities--including ours—have used to implement essential economic revitalization or anti-blight projects.

That’s why the Santa Fe Springs City Council recently took action to place Mea-sure S on the ballot for the upcoming November election. The Measure provides a reliable source of local funding that can’t be taken by Sacramento. If enacted, every dime generated by Measure S must be spent locally for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community, not for other purposes.

Measure S is not a tax on Santa Fe Springs’ residents or the greater business community. Only oil companies extracting crude oil within our city limits will pay their fair share of business taxes under this measure. Oil companies have made billions drilling from Santa Fe Springs wells, but for over 20 years have paid just 20 cents per barrel in taxes—one of the lowest rates in California—a rate that hasn’t changed for more than two decades.

The Oil Production Measure simply updates the oil companies’ tax rate, generating the additional funding necessary for the essential Santa Fe Springs services the community needs to continue to:• Maintain rapid 9-1-1 response times;• Maintain the number of police officers proactively patrolling neighborhoods, parks/schools;• Keep adequate firefighter/paramedic staffing levels;• Maintain the City’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to natural disas-ters such as earthquakes;• Preserve youth after-school recreation, anti-gang and anti-drug prevention programs;• Continue health, nutrition, and transportation programs for local seniors.

Consistent with our City’s tradition of fiscal accountability, all funds generated by the Oil Production Measure will continue to be subject to annual independent audits and the highest standards of prudent financial management.

Measure S is designed to protect the 9-1-1, police, fire, and the essential com-munity services our constituents rely on, with no increase in property taxes.

Measure S ensures that everyone pays their fair share, without raising taxes on our residents or our greater business community. This measure will appear on your City of Santa Fe Springs November 2013 ballot. For more information about voting this November or the actual text of the Measure, contact the City Clerk at (562) 868-0511, ext. 7314.

Santa Fe Springs BUSINESS • September 2013 •

By Sandra MolinaWhittier Daily News, August 16, 2013

Coming to the rescue in a different capacity, members of the Santa Fe Springs Department of Fire-Rescue cooked up about 185 pounds of russet potatoes Thursday for a good cause.

They hosted the department’s 11th annual Potato Bake sale at its headquarters, with benefits from the sale of the spuds and a variety of toppings, and a cold drink, to go to the American Cancer Society.

Personnel worked in shifts, beginning at 3:00 a.m., to cook the po-tatoes wrapped in tin foil. The potato bake earned $1,711, which will be part of the total raised for the city’s Relay for Life event to be held at noon Sept. 27 at Lake Center Athletic Park, 11641 Florence Avenue.

“It’s heartwarming to see so many people from the community come out and support this worthy cause,” said firefighter T.K. Hamada, who organized the event.

The fight against cancer is a personal one for Hamada.Not only is Hamada’s mother a breast cancer survivor, but a few of the

department’s retired personnel have been diagnosed with the disease.“The fight against cancer really hits home,” said Capt. Robert Mora,

whose brother, re-tired SFS firefighter Armando Mora was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last September. “All we can do is help the best way we can.”

Tables were set up inside the garage area, where people enjoyed their potatoes topped with chili, cheese, onions, bacon bits and more.

For dessert, they chose from an array of cookies, cupcakes and brown-ies provided by employees of Tri-West, whose relay team is called the Cancer Crusaders.

“There are a lot of reasons we do this,” said accounting clerk Kim Topete, who was manning the bake sale. They raised $261.

A raffle of donated goods reaped $125, and the sale of T-shirts added another $775 to the pot.

Longtime resident Gilbert Aguirre, who attended the event with his wife, Janie, admired the efforts of those involved.

“It’s a good thing what they are doing here because there’s not one person not affected by cancer in one way or the other,” he said. Agu-irre, 72, has lost eight members of his family, including his mother and several siblings to cancer.

Santa Fe Springs BUSINESS • September 2013 • YOUTH ENRICHMENT FUND

You Can Make a Difference Be a Mentor!

We are looking for business people who have a desire to pro-vide young people with support, counsel, friendship, reinforce-ment and constructive examples. Through activities such as Job Shadow Day, college visits and business breakfasts, students get “hands on” exposure to reliable role models in a professional environment while developing interpersonal skills, broadening horizons, and learning about life and business.

The Santa Fe Springs Chamber of Commerce/Santa Fe High School Mentor Program is a nine-month structured program running from September 2013 through June 2014.QUALIFICATIONS:

Must be friendly and enjoy spending time with students. Must be willing to be a role model, be willing to help a student plan for his or her future, and be willing to encourage them to be successful.OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS:What if I cannot attend an activity?

Although we encourage the mentors to attend all the events, we understand that this is not always possible. We just ask that you try and attend the events and call us if you are not going to be able to attend one.2. Do I need to be fingerprinted?

Yes, to protect the integrity of the program, all Mentors fill out a short application packet which includes fingerprinting.3. I was a mentor last year. Will I have the same student?

No. In order to provide as many students as possible with this incredible opportunity, the program is limited to students who are in the 11th grade. Every year, a new group of students participate in the Mentoring Program.4. Will this cost me money?

No. The SFS Chamber/League Youth Enrichment Fund along with donations from the community provides the funds to run this program. The only exception is Job Shadow Day/Career Day when some mentors choose to treat their student to an inexpensive lunch.

Please contact Sue Grana at [email protected] or (562) 944-1616 to get more information or sign up to be a mentor.

The event is sponsored by the Credit Union of Southern California and Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.

Support CAPC, Inc. like you would at no other fundraising event! As a guest, you’ll be sure to find a vacation destination in every corner—literally! Ten-person dinner tables, decorated individually in coordination with the event’s theme “Vacations Around The World” (think Rome, Yosemite, Caribbean Cruise, Pismo Beach, Jamaica, etc.) will fill the grand ballroom at the DoubleTree Hotel Norwalk.

We guarantee a night of laughter, dinner, dancing, costumes, shopping, ex-traordinary service and great people! If you haven’t yet experienced this “not-so-ordinary-chicken-dinner” event, allow us to take you on a little “vacation” to Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Dance 2013!

A lively dance floor becomes the center of attention at numerous points of the evening. And forget being served by the hotel staff; we’re giving them a night off! Each table of 10 selects a friend, family member, co-worker or boss who’s up for the task to serve drinks, dinner and dessert as one of our “celebrity waiters”!

As a table sponsor you will host a table of 10 guests. Fill your table with em-ployees, clients, family and/ or friends. You may be the “celebrity waiter” for your table, or rope someone else into it! Just make sure your guests tip these waiters awesomely- all of the tips “celebrity waiters” collect are pooled and used to help CAPC, Inc. enrich the lives of adults with disabilities.

Individual tickets are just $80. A table of 10 is $700. Table decoration pack-ages by CAPC are available for purchase before September 16.

You may also support this lively event by donating a silent auction item or by becoming an event sponsor and receive advertisement at the event.

Back to School SafetyBy Captain Aviv Bar

Back to school time is exciting for many people, from kindergarteners to college students, as well as parents and school staff. Back-to-school time is also an exciting time for crooks who exploit unsuspecting victims as streets fill up with students carrying valuables, and school parking lots fill up with vehicles. The following list contains various tips on making your school year a safe one:

• Be sure your child knows his or her home phone number (including area code) address, your work num-ber, the number of another trusted adult, and how to use 911 for emer-gencies.

• Plan a walking route to school or the bus stop. Choose the most direct way with the fewest street crossings. Test the route with your child. Tell him or her to stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields, and other places where there aren’t many people around.

• Teach children—whether walking, biking, or riding the bus to school—to obey all traffic signals, signs, traffic officers. Remind them to be extra careful in rainy weather.

• Make sure they walk to and from school with others—a friend, neigh-bor, brother, sister.

• When car pooling, drop off and pick up children as close to school as possible. Don’t leave until they have entered the school yard or building.

• Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your children doesn’t know well or doesn’t trust.

• Have a secret code word with your child, to help confirm your child is dealing with a trusted person.

If your child is home alone for a few hours after school:

• Set up rules for locking doors and windows, answering the door or telephone.

• Talk about what activities your child can and not do while home alone.

• Make sure he or she checks in with you or a neighbor immediately after school.

• Agree on rules for inviting friends over and for going to a friend’s house when no adult is home.

Take time to listen carefully to chil-dren’s fears and feelings about people or places that scare them or make them feel uneasy. Tell them to trust their instincts. Take complaints about bullies and other concerns seriously.

Teach you kids to stay alert when they walk to and from school. This means refraining from listening to music in both ears and always watch-ing for suspicious persons or vehicles.

If you choose to send your kids to school with valuables such as Ipods, Ipads, laptops, smartphones, or ex-pensive jewelry, ask them to keep the items hidden in a backpack as they travel to and from school. They should also keep a close eye on their property throughout the day.

If you park your vehicle at school, make sure the alarm is on, all doors are locked, and all valuables are re-moved from plain view.

Give the Gift of ReadingThe Library’s Adult Literacy Service is available to all English speakers who

are interested in receiving help with reading and writing. A person seeking help is first given an assessment and is then matched with a

volunteer tutor. Pairs set their own days and times to tutor two to three hours a week. We supply a “starter packet” of materials for each pair.

Prior to tutoring, adult literacy volunteers complete a 12-hour training work-shop. They learn how to use the materials and various techniques that will help their student read and write better.

The next Adult Tutor Training will be held October 8, 10, 15, 17 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. (Registration required.)

If you or someone you know wants to read and write better or wants to vol-unteer to help someone, please call the City Library at (562) 868-7738, ext 7820.

California Attorney General Approves Downey Regional Medical Center’s Application to Become Part of PIH HealthPIH Health to Continue Due Diligence Before Acquisition is Complete

Downey Regional Medical Center (DRMC) announced today that the California Attorney General, Kamala D. Harris, has approved its application to become part of PIH Health.

“We are pleased to receive approval on the application,” said DRMC Chief Operating Officer (COO) Brian Smolskis. “However, it’s important to note that PIH Health is continuing its due diligence, and the process to complete a transition from DRMC to PIH Health is still under way.”

When the acquisition process is complete, DRMC will officially become PIH Health Hospital – Downey. The Downey hospital has been the health leader in its community for more than 90 years, and PIH Health is dedicated to strength-ening and preserving that presence.

DRMC and PIH Health recently entered into a management services agreement (MSA) between the two nonprofit organizations granting PIH Health respon-sibility for the day-to-day operations of DRMC. The process of fully integrating services and staff into the PIH Health system will get under way following the formal acquisition, and a public announcement will be made at that time. In the meantime, the top priority is to continue to provide the highest-quality care for all patients served by DRMC.

“Since PIH Health entered the management services agreement with DRMC, we have made great progress in areas that were high priority,” said Smolskis.

“We have enhanced the hospital’s revenue cycle management and subse-quently improved cash flow by implementing more efficient processes for pa-tient registration through collections. Also, an emergency department redesign aimed to improve patient flow, reduce wait times, and increase efficiencies is in development.”

Brian Smolskis, who was named COO of DRMC at the time the MSA went into effect, will continue on as COO of the new PIH Health Hospital – Downey once the acquisition is finalized.About Downey Regional Medical Center (DRMC)

Downey Regional Medical Center (DRMC) is proud of its more than 90 years of history serving its community. DRMC provides much needed services for the surrounding communities including: Community Social Service Referrals, Educational programs such as the Stork Tea, Childbirth Education classes, and discounted mammograms. DRMC continues to update equipment and com-puter systems in order to better serve all its patients. Some examples of the new technologies that help create an innovative healthcare center include a state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Digital Mammography, which has advanced imaging capability allowing for earlier detection of breast cancer and other diseases. The DRMC Laboratory has also added two advanced chemistry analyzers to ensure the most accurate and timely laboratory results. DRMC performs over one million laboratory tests a year, and these machines are essential to physicians in their efforts to care for their patients and accurately detect infection and other diseases.

PIH Health is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) regional healthcare delivery network that was founded in 1959. Over 50 years later, PIH Health continues to maintain a sense of community and family-like culture where patients are the top priority, and employees, physicians, and volunteers are proud to be affiliated with such an organization.

PIH Health serves residents of Los Angeles and Orange counties offering a wide range of services including over 150 primary care physicians to provide general medicine and preventative care; access to emergency and urgent care, home health services and hospice; and a network of over 180 specialists.

Tracie Zerpoli Appointed Tri-Cities ROP Executive

Tracie Zerpoli has re-turned to Tri-Cities Regional Occupational Program after a nine years’ absence as the newly-appointed executive director. Governing Board President Rita Jo Ramirez welcomed Ms. Zerpoli by stating, “We are happy you have come back to Tri-Cities ROP in the capacity of our executive director and we look forward to your lead-ership of Tri-Cities ROP.”

Ms. Zerpoli began her career by teaching business, accounting, entrepreneurship and hospitality for 11 years in the Pasadena and Arcadia school districts. She was then hired at TCROP as an instructional supervisor by former superintendent Dr. Bud Davis.

In 2004, Ms. Zerpoli moved on in the capacity of program manager for another ROP, where she provided support to teachers. In 2007, she accepted the position of director of career technical and adult education for Fontana Unified School District, where she remained until coming to Tri-Cities ROP this month.

Tracie was an instructor for UCLA for the past 13 years teaching instructional methods and advanced strategies, technology and assessment. She currently teaches for the University of San Diego. Dan Barajas, TCROP technology coordinator, and Ms Zerpoli’s former student recalls, “…she was a great instructor and very knowledgeable.”

Mr. Zerpoli holds a bachelor’s degree in voca-tional education from Cal State Los Angeles and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Azusa Pacific University. She shared her philosophy of career technical education, which is “… we have to ensure the right student is in the right class and we must prepare students for college AND careers.”

To Pay or Not to Pay... Your VolunteersBy Paul S. Fleck, Esq. and Paul M. Huston, Esq., Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo

With an increase in students and former employees willing to work for free in order to gain experience, employers must be careful in deter-mining if individuals are properly classified as volunteers and if they must be paid for their services.

Under the proper circumstances, a volunteer can provide service to a not-for-profit organization without com-pensation. However, the work of the volunteer must be closely scrutinized to determine if the volunteer is work-ing for the commercial benefit of the

organization; aids the organization in competitive commercial activity; and is expecting to receive a benefit from the organization.

Federal law has made it clear that Congress did not intend to discour-age or impede volunteer activities undertaken for civic, charitable, or hu-manitarian purposes, but expressed its wish to prevent any manipulation or abuse of minimum wage or over-time requirements through coercion or undue pressure upon individu-als to ‘volunteer’ their services.”—C.F.R. §533.101. Further, the federal Department of Labor set forth that individuals who volunteer or donate their services, usually on a part-time basis, for public service, religious or humanitarian objectives, not as em-ployees and without contemplation of pay, are not considered employees of the religious, charitable or similar non-profit organizations that receive their service.—FLSA Advisor.

California law similarly allows vol-unteers to work without compensa-tion where the volunteer performs work for civic, charitable, or humani-tarian reasons for a public agency or corporation qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a tax-exempt organization, without promise, expectation, or re-ceipt of any compensation for work performed and the services are of-fered freely and without pressure and

coercion, direct or implied, from an employer. Cal. Labor Code §1720.4.

In summary, if the volunteer is working for a not-for-profit organiza-tion and performing civic, charitable, or humanitarian services and is not expecting any benefit in exchange for the services, then the individual is not entitled to compensation. Where the volunteer is working for a for-profit organization, however, these services will be more closely scrutinized and the organization must make certain the volunteer is not working for the commercial benefit of the organiza-tion to aid the organization in com-petitive commercial activity in expec-tation of receiving a benefit.

Why is this important to employers?Improperly classifying an individual

as a volunteer creates tremendous liability for employers. Not only will the employer be liable for all unpaid wages (minimum wage and overtime) for all hours worked by the individual, but the employer will also be liable for missed breaks and meal period penal-ties, paystub violations, and an assort-ment of other penalties, interest, and attorneys’ fees. Therefore, employers must be certain to properly evaluate the services provided by volunteers in order to reduce wage and liability in the future.
