“I’ve come to realize these holidays are about more than exploring other countries and decompressing from our professional and familial obligations. What’s really happening is a sort of extreme relationship test.

Supporters said goodbye to outgoing CUSD Board of Education President Bob Fass at his final meeting on October 17. “This is likely not a formal goodbye for me, but a farewell for now,” Fass said. “As I’ve learned from the superintendent, it’s always possible to leave and return. I have deeply enjoyed this work, and I hope to continue to serve CUSD in many ways for many years to come. Thank you.” Courier photo/Andrew Alonzo
Some good financial news was delivered during Tuesday’s Claremont City Council meeting in that the city netted some $4.9 million in surplus cash from revenues that made up the projected 2023-2024 general fund, from which the council voted unanimously to allocate $1.25 million to CalPERS to pay down the city’s unfunded pension liabilities.

The Claremont City Council initially issued pension obligation bonds totaling $6.1 million in 2006 as part of a funding effort to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, known as CalPERS. With an outstanding balance of $2.03 million in 2023, the City Council was approached by FMS to repurchase the bonds, maturing June 1, 2027, at a 10% discount, leading to a net bond value of $1.83 million. That early repayment saved the city $157,000. Courier file photo
