Pat Furey, Mayor of Torrance, CA. will see some stiff competition in 2018

Current city of Torrance, CA Mayor Pat Furey, has already filed his papers to run in the June 2018 election, but not alone.  He has already been challenged by three other candidates, of which one of them is Tom Brewer, a former councilman with lots of supporters.  One must remember that in 2014, Pat Furey won with just a little over 40% of the votes.  This happens in Torrance, because we don't have a runoff election.  Whomever gets more votes, wins.  It is common knowledge that Tom Brewer lost because his votes were split between two Conservative candidates, Bill Sutherland, and himself.  Neither Tom, nor the local Conservatives, want to repeat another political flop like the one we had three years ago.  It is said that one of the mayoral candidates, Ron Riggs, has announced that he will drop out of the Mayor's race to leave an open path for fellow Conservative, Tom Brewer.


On the City Council side, we currently have Tim Goodrich, Kurt Weideman, and Aurelio Mattucci.  Ron Riggs may be joining the lineup soon.

Find out who has filed their papers by visiting http://www.torrancevotes.org/campaign-finance-disclosures.html



For "A Cleaner and Safer Torrance" please vote Aurelio Mattucci, on June 5, 2018

City of Torrance Business Development Plan by Aurelio Mattucci

Business Development Plan
By Aurelio Mattucci
Having a solid business environment benefits both residents and business owners. Remember that this is the same revenue we need to fix our streets and sidewalks.
Over the past two years I have... personally visited over 3,800 businesses and about 1,500 residents. I have asked the same question over and over, “What would you like improved in the city?” Most answers started with, Oh Boy….
I am a commercial real estate broker and I specialize in business relocation and startups. As a council member, my focus will be in bringing new business to Torrance and help the existing businesses thrive and not just survive. City Hall must become a working partner in people’s lives and allow new business to flow in without any major red tape and obstacles.

The plan is to simultaneously tackle the issues from all angles.
Internally:
1. Lower the business license tax to a flat $99 a year for businesses that have less than 5 employees or annual gross revenue not exceeding $500,000.
2. Waive the business license tax for the first year on any new business.
3. Streamline the permitting process and allow applications to initiate online.
4. Lower our permit fees by 25% across the board
5. Eliminate the annual “Fire Inspection Fee” on businesses under 5 employees or under 2,000 square feet of space.
6. Allow real estate agents to install Open House signs on public property the day of the open house, limited to 6 signs per day, per agent. Signs of course may not block or partially block any public right of way. Current ordinance does not allow for any open house signs.
7. “Gratitude is the new Attitude” we must change our attitude at the counter. I have spoken to many residents and business owners and the number one complaint is the attitude. Of course this can only be fixed if we find the root of the problem, which usually points to work environment, poor management and no clear understanding of the city’s vision.

Externally:

1. Our Economic Development Department needs to reach out to business owners and not wait for them to contact them. One thing we need to keep in mind is that most self-employed have issues with time, not enough of it. When I met with Fran Fulton from this department I was happy to see that they were taking a proactive approach to contacting business owners, but had very low turnouts. I suggested a door to door campaign and workshops set up inside the business owners’ locations.
2. In addition we need to tap into the multi-million dollar resource we have just a few miles away, The Port of Los Angeles. We need to reach out to the thousands of multinational companies that utilize the Port of Los Angeles and invite them to our city. We have over 1 million square feet of available space in Torrance. Filling this space will generate the much needed revenue we’ve been waiting for. Incentives need to be put in place to induce new growth. Most business growth is in relocation and not new business. We need to remind ourselves that it’s easier to lose a business than it is to attract one. The incentives should include waiving permit fees and business licensing fees for the first year. This will stir up growth within the city and revenue will be balanced by the added jobs.
3. If we want to be a business friendly city, we need to show the public the difference between us and neighboring cities. Yes, we have over 400 world headquarters in Torrance and that is remarkable, but being number 1 takes constant efforts. Our reputation in the business environment is not as favorable as public officials try to tell us.

Let’s bring back prosperity in our city and attract shoppers from all over. Let’s make Torrance a destination and not just a drive through city.

April 2nd City Council Candidate Forum at South High School

Meet Torrance City Council candidate, Aurelio Mattucci this Wednesday, April 2nd at South High School. The open forum event will take place in the South High School cafeteria at 4801 Pacific Coast Highway, starting at 7:00 pm.

Come out to this event to learn more about Mattucci’s platform, which centers around four basic issues. These are concerns that all cities face but are too often neglected.  As the next member of the Torrance City Council Mattucci will focus his energy on:
Public Safety
Education
Budget
Curb Appeal

Mattucci believes in a hands-on approach to all of these issues that includes community involvement and volunteerism. The neighborhoods and schools belong to the residents of Torrance and we are all responsible for making them the safest, most beautiful and most efficient they can be. The more that residents support public safety, police and fire departments, form neighborhood watch programs and pick up a paint brush to improve school facilities, the more the whole city can thrive. Everyone wants to feel safe and we can all contribute.

Aurelio Mattucci will also work toward responsible budgeting that plans for today and tomorrow.  “I want to make sure our City takes a conservative approach to spending and prioritizes expenditures by necessity not popularity.”  At the same time, Mattucci still wants that all important community involvement with allocating funds for education and other necessary services that any city oversees. “The tax payers should be in control of where the funds go on all levels,” says Mattucci.

As a real estate broker, Aurelio Mattucci also understands the very real importance of curb appeal. It’s that element of delight when pulling up to a location that is inviting and exciting. Curb appeal makes a prospective home or business owner want to take a closer look and to make the crucial decision of whether or not to call a place home. Drawing new residents and businesses to Torrance is an all important factor in the future growth and prosperity of the city as a whole. But if buildings are abandoned, sidewalks are cracked and cluttered with weeds and streets are deteriorating, that inviting and exciting feeling will never flourish. Mattucci will work toward planting trees, removing concrete and beautifying the City of Torrance with the help and support of its residents.  This is your home and when you come home, it should feel like home.

Show your support for public safety, education, budget control and curb appeal when you meet City Council Candidate Aurelio Mattucci at any of these upcoming events.

April 2nd 7:00 pm - South High Cafeteria 
April 3rd 7:00 pm - Nakano Theater Torrance
April 17th 8:00 am - Nakano Theater Torrance

April 23rd 6:30 pm - Bartlett Center Old Torrance

Who is most likely to win the Mayor's seat in the 2014 Torrance Election?

Who is most likely to win the Mayor's seat in the 2014 Torrance Election?
This is a very difficult question. Having personally met all three of the current Mayor candidates Tom Brewer, Bill Sutherland and Pat Furey, it will pretty much be a toss.  They are all current City Council members, they are all very qualified, they have all taken part of the success Torrance has had in keeping a balanced budget. It will boil down to personality and name recognition. I personally believe Tom Brewer has started his campaigning late in the game but has enough time to catch up and take the seat. Bill Sutherland has been very active at ribbon cuttings and public appearances which will put him in front of the cameras. Pat Furey although he hasn't been seen much at public events, he is still working key groups to gain support. Ultimately I am confident that the people of Torrance will vote the best fit for the task at hand. As for myself, I am a candidate for the Torrance City Council and wish to gain your support.

Where are the Mayor Candidates for Torrance?

Where are the Mayor Candidates for Torrance?
I have been campaigning for a year now and I personally feel I have very little time to do what I need to do.
My big question is.... What are the Mayor candidates doing to win this election? I know it's early in the race but Torrance is a big city with 75,000+ registered voters and I don't see much presence.  I am new to the political arena but I am not new to marketing and what I predict is that Tom Brewer will be too far behind, Pat Furey will rely mostly on social media and Bill Sutherland may actually take the cake as he is present at many functions I personally go to. Funny thing is that I like all 3 of the candidates. They all have something to offer the people of Torrance and it's mostly due to the fact they are already councilmembers and have served our community well. I will leave it up to the voters to elect one of the three. As four me, just mark the box where you see the name "Aurelio Mattucci" ;)
I do appreciate the much support I have been getting and I am confident that if I continue with the momentum I have I will win one of the four seats in City Council, but I can't do this alone. I will need you to help.
Thank you,
Aurelio Mattucci

Bill Sutherland the next Mayor of Torrance?

Will Bill Sutherland be elected to be the next Mayor of Torrance CA? That is a great question. I have personally made it a point to spend some time with each candidate and so far I believe Bill Sutherland and Pat Furey both have a good shot at it. It will boil down to the Grassroots efforts the candidates put into it. The other prospective candidate Tom Brewer also seems like a viable candidate and has just now started rolling the ball forward.  I just wonder if he has fallen behind on the campaigning or not.  Some tell me that it's way too early to start campaigning for my race to Torrance City Council but I would have to disagree considering how vast Torrance is and how many doors there are to knock on. To find out more about Bill please visit his website at http://www.sutherland4mayor.com/
