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

Early this morning patrol officers responded to a catalytic converter theft in progress. Officer arrived and detained one suspect, while a second fled on foot. A foot pursuit occurred and a containment was established. While searching the suspect’s vehicle a loaded firearm was discovered. Kota and Kruz responded to assist with the area search. While searching a backyard, officers and Kota alerted to the second suspect who was hiding. The suspect was taken into custody without incident. Great teamwork by patrol and @arcadiapolicek9 #arcadia #arcadiapd #police #k9 #k9handler #k9partner #dutchshepherd #workingdogs #policedogs #policek9 #k9kota #belgianmalinois #kruz #k9kruz
A night with Dave Grohl. 2 1/2 hour monologue with photos and a sprinkling of musical performances. He found that he could not survive without playing music. He formed Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain took his own life because it was the only way that he was going to survive. He feeds off the energy of the audience, seeing that moment when everyone from different backgrounds, walks of life, political beliefs, religious beliefs set it all aside and come together in unity to enjoy a night of music. What is it you need to survive? #foofighters #theregoesmyhero #nirvana #smellsliketeenspirit #booktour #autobiography
