This week's SGV Connect continues our theme of focusing in on various areas of the SGV for our podcast episodes by looking at the Greater Pasadena area. First, Damien and Chris traveled to El Sereno to meet with some of the Reclaimers, unhoused residents of El Sereno who moved into Caltrans owned properties during the pandemic. Benito, Sandra and Fanny return to SGV Connect (their first appearance can be found here) to advocate for affordable housing and community spaces, discuss the ongoing eviction battle between Caltrans and the Reclaimers. Personal stories and experiences are shared, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice from those in power: especially Caltrans, the county's homeless services provider, and Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin DeLeon. A transcript of their discussion can be found here. This discussion references the Roberti Act, passed in the 1970's to guide Caltrans on how to manage and eventually sell these properties. A good description of Roberti can be found in this article about the competing vision between the Reclaimers and DeLeon for El Sereno. Rick Cole has been a regular commenter at Streetsblog and Santa Monica Next for years. After his election to the Pasadena City Council in March, we reached back out to him to discuss the need to improve Pasadena's transportation infrastructure and engage the community in a more inclusive and proactive approach to address gentrification. Cole emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety, affordability, and alternatives to car use, and the need for a more inclusive approach to urban planning, involving the public in decision-making processes. A transcript of their discussion can be found here.   SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

In this technological world, the public sector should find the smartest ways to leverage the latest technology in its efforts to extend quality service to its constituents. What differentiates a smart city from others is not its possession of the most sophisticated technological advancements, but its way of figuring out how to efficiently use what is available to it. In this episode, Abhijit Verekar taps into Rick Cole's rich experience as a public servant in California for many decades. Rick served as the City Manager for Santa Monica from 2015 to 2020. He has held other public posts, including that of Deputy Mayor for the City of Los Angeles from 2013 to 2015 and Mayor of the City of Pasadena. Love the show?

This week's SGV Connect features a pair of interviews with former Pasadena Mayor Rick Cole and San Gabriel Valley Conservation Corps (SGVCC). Director Norma Quinones. In our first interview, Damien talks with Cole ostensibly about the dozen opinion pieces Cole has written in 2023 about how Pasadena can grow as a city in the future. In the interview Cole laments how Pasadena has changed in the two decades since he was mayor and hopes the city will recommit itself to its progressive routes in coming years. In the second half of the interview, Cole discusses his current job working with L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia and what political leaders can learn from Mejia's unconventional style. You can find Cole's articles (and a few other ones that have nothing to do with him), by clicking here. For a transcript of the interview, click here. In the second interview, Quinones explains what the SGVCC does: hiring youth in need of job training, and enrolling them in high school if necessary. The job sites they learn on include greening the region's streets with native plants, repainting the Puente Valley's county walls in a continuation of the area's iconic but sometimes fading vine murals, and pulling out deadwood and invasive species in the San Gabriel Mountains. Quinones, from Baldwin Park, says these young people come directly from the communities where they work.  For a transcript of the interview, click here.   SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of Downtown L.A.

RICK COLE is successfully carrying the torch of his father Glen. The Father and Son have combined for 43 years as the Senior Pastor of one of the most well-known churches in the Sacramento area ... Capital Christian Center. You have seen it. Highway 50 near the Bradshaw Road exit. In this episode, we do a deep dive with the pastor.In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard listens in and takes in all the wisdom shared by Cole. "I have been wanting to have this conversation with someone like Rick Cole. No matter where you are with your faith, we all accept that we have been something that has transformed in very large ways. We all need hope."  Our conversation hits three areas: SEGMENT 1 ✝️ begins with what is behind the legacy of Capital Christian Center. Pastor Rick Cole also shares the growth and success of Capital Christian School. We steer into what it was like facing Covid as a church. Really powerful stuff when Cole shares what his Covid takeaways have been.SEGMENT 2 ✝️ kicks off with a son talking about his father. We get an in-depth look at Pastor Glen Cole (who retired in 1995 and passed away 10 years ago in 2012). The conversation transitions into the transition of Rick stepping in to take over Capital Christian Center after being in Nebraska where he led a church for four years. Cole, describes his 'turning point.' SEGMENT 3 ✝️  is fun because Cole reveals the story behind the Capital Christian Billboard that you see on Highway 50. We finish off with Cole's 2014 experience where he decided that he would live with the homeless. It was supposed to be for one week. It turned into two weeks.  Safe to say, it was life-changing and Cole shares what he learned from that experience. Oh yeah! He wrote a book sharing his experience. Cole gives us a glimpse into one of the many programs he has orchestrated called "Character Combine."Our Connection |  Wee have never met. I was inspired when I caught Rick talking about his homeless experience during a Bible Conference held at my home church, Bayside Granite Bay.  It was one of those moments when I said to myself, "this is an interview I want to have."FUN FACTS

“On the streets, I found that I wasn't just wrong in various ways about broken people, I was wrong in layers.” In 2014, the leader of a Northern California megachurch lived on the streets of Sacramento for two weeks to raise money for a homeless program.

Rick Cole of Capital Christian Center recounts the humbling experience and opens up about his own growth and his hopes for the Church. https://selfdiscoverymedia.com/?p=99654

What do Washington DC, Denver's Union Station, and Scott's recent vacation to Italy all share in common? Aside from being sweet places to visit, they all provide fantastic examples of Transit Oriented Development, the focus on this month's episode. Transit Oriented Development ("TOD") refers to the creation of compact, walkable, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use communities centered around high-quality train systems. It represents a stark departure from the car-dominated development patterns that have come to define much of the world's contemporary development practices, often times ending up in the form of urban sprawl (ew!). Join us as we break down the unique benefits of TOD with the help of Rick Cole, Executive Director of the Congress for the New Urbanism, a leading organization promoting walkable urbanity for all! ----------------------------- Sustainability Defined is the podcast that seeks to define sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosted by Jay Siegel and Scott Breen. Each episode focuses on a single topic that helps push sustainability forward. We explain each topic with the help of an experienced pro, place it within our organizational tree, and help our listeners define what exactly sustainability is, episode by episode. We have divided our organizational tree into the following seven sectors: Energy Cities Natural Environment Transportation Business Policy Social Each episode is categorized under one of our sectors and visually depicted within our organizational tree. The more episodes we complete, the more the tree will visually define what exactly sustainability means. Please go to www.sustainabilitydefined.com for more information. Our website has pages for each episode where there is a player to stream the episode, as well as hyperlinked intro notes.

Aaron kicks off the second season of the Townbuilder's Podcast with the newly appointed Executive Director of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Rick Cole. Rick talks about the need to engage the next generation of New Urbanist practitioners, the state of the organization, the timelessness of the Charter's principles, and how he hopes to pivot CNU to ensure organizational success for decades to come.

07/11/2021Rick ColeKnowledge of Ice or Knowledge of Fire(Why Are We So Afraid of the Holy Spirit?!)Luke 3:16-17, Acts 1:8, Acts 17:6

In the 1990s, Rick Cole presided over the update of Pasadena's general plan, which led to the development of one of the most recognizable transit-oriented developments in the United States (recognizable to planning nerds, at least): the Del Mar Transit Village on Los Angeles Metro's Gold Line. At the time, the city was a hotbed of New Urbanism thought, of which the Del Mar Transit Village was a prime example. Despite the high profile of New Urbanist ideas, and of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Del Mar remained a relatively isolated example of the ethos and the aesthetic.  In the ensuing decades, Cole moved on to serve as city manager in Azusa and Ventura (where he collaborated with CP&DR Publisher Bill Fulton), and in the past decade he served in the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and, most recently, as city manager in Santa Monica, from 2015 to 2020. The consummate Californian and longtime proponent of New Urbanist is now taking on a formal, national role, as the leader of the Congress for the New Urbanism itself. Cole official became CNU's executive director in May.  CP&DR's Josh Stephens spoke with Cole about New Urbanism's influence on California, California's influence on it, and its prospects here and around the country now that it has gone from a radical upstart theory to a motivating force among many progressive planners, designers, and developers. 

In a preview of his presentation at the July 12-13 PICPA Not-for-Profit & Government Accounting Conference, Rick Cole, partner with BKD CPAs & Advisors, discusses the new Accounting Standards Update related to gifts-in-kind nonfinancial assets. Among other issues, he touches on how contributed nonfinancial assets are presented on financial statements and the timing of when the new ASU will go into effect.
