I have lived in Arcadia my whole life. It’s where I went to school, it’s where I have my business and it’s where I have chosen to raise my family.
My accomplishments, since you first elected me to City Council in 2016, include:
- I championed harmonious and compatible design of new homes with new design review rules, a Floor Area Ratio (FAR): limiting the size of new homes to a percentage of the lot size, and the first Historic Preservation Ordinance for Arcadia;
- I secured $167,000 from LA County to help homeless in Arcadia find housing;
- I helped introduce the Ring Doorbell home security program to our residents, making neighborhoods safer;
- I created a Financial Advisory Committee made up of Arcadia residents, to provide recommendations to pay down the unfunded pensions, promoting transparency and accountability;
- I worked to bring back a basketball court with the renovation of Eisenhower Park, reinforcing the priorities of the community;
- I brought the Patriotic Festival, Holiday Fair and Halloween Haunting to Downtown Arcadia, enhancing the quality of life for residents;
- I connected to the community through many activities including Mahjong with the Mayor and Coffee with the Mayor;
- I convinced LA County to re-open the Spreading Basins in the Highlands, so more water was diverted into our aquifer instead of flowing to the ocean;
- I currently serve as Mayor.
I hope I get the opportunity to meet you in person and share more of what I have done and what I plan to do if re-elected.
Sincerely,
-April Verlato

On my morning run through Eisenhower Park, I was reminded of ge challenges I faced when convincing council to add back a single basketball court. It was one of my crowning achievements on city council but it caused a one month delay so that when the park finally re-opened, Roger Chandler, who opposed the basketball court, was Mayor and his name was at the top of the plaque. Had it been May 4, 2020 instead of June 4, 2020, my name would have appeared at the top as Mayor. I’m just happy to see someone is always enjoying the basketball court even at 8am on a Sunday morning. #TheIrony #ThisIsArcadia #ArcadiaCa #EisenhowerPark #Basketball #ParksAndRec #Undesireables #FormerMayor #NoAI #TitleOnly
