CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
Mayor’s Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Model City, “Where Quality Service is
Our Tradition.”
This is a great time to be in the City of Commerce, and I am proud
to have the opportunity to be Mayor. We are positioned to accomplish great things and make improvements throughout the City.
As part of our efforts to improve City services we have:
❖ Established a 5-year street maintenance plan
❖ Created the Mayor’s Business Relations Subcommittee to
foster communication with the Industrial Community
❖ Initiated a Customer Service Program
to enhance City services, and
❖ Started a citywide beautification program
called Keep Commerce Beautiful.
There are also a great many other programs in the works. Over the
next few months we are hosting innovative events to promote health
and wellness and the objectives of our beautification initiative.

Our goal is to restore the appearance of our City streets, public
spaces, neighborhoods, and industrial areas. We are working to reduce litter, graffiti, and blight throughout the City.

to highlight these efforts. I can guarantee you a fulfilling and inspirational time.
As always, we appreciate your support and invite you to enjoy the
best we have to offer. There are many opportunities waiting for you
as an industrial resident of the City of Commerce, and we encourage you to explore our community.

Fall/Winter 2008
FOCUS ON BUSINESS
Welcome to the City of Commerce!
Our accomplishments in recent years
are particularly relevant, including:
• Establishment of a Mayor’s Business Relations
Subcommittee, which improves the lines of
communication with our City leaders and enables us to weigh in on important City issues,
such as continued redevelopment projects.
• Enrichment of our annual Signature Events:
Chamber’s Installation of Officers and Directors Banquet, the Women in Business Awards
Luncheon, and our popular Golf Tournament
– all created myriad sponsorship opportunities for members to broadcast themselves to
the community.
• Orchestration of our successful annual Business Expo in the Fall to facilitate your meeting hundreds of future patrons on a personal
level.
President John P. Pringle
Thank you for exploring one of the
Chamber’s most valuable information resources – our Focus on Business magazine.
As we enter our 50th Anniversary celebration year, we continue the mission to serve
our individual Chamber members, as well
as the greater Commerce community.
Chamber of Commerce is recognized as
an influential and formidable organization
within our fine City. With annual membership increases of 20% over the past year,
we are 350-plus members strong and still
growing. We take special pride in having
a very high membership retention rate from
the Fall of 2007-08. Such validation tells
us that our members value our services, our
Chamber operations are sound, and we are
prepared to meet the future needs of your
business.
Fifty years later, we remain resolute in
pursuing our Chamber Mission: “To promote the general welfare of the City of Commerce so that its businesses and its citizens
have the best environment in which to prosper...and to promote commercial, industrial,
education, and legislative actions that will
benefit its members and all those concerned
with the welfare of the community.”
• Partnership with local business and schools to
reward accomplished students and teachers.
• Partnerships with other local chambers of commerce to work on regional issues.
• Redevelopment of our web site to make it
more valuable for our members, other local
businesses, and citizens.
I am looking forward to 2009 as another outstanding year for the Chamber. I am
thrilled to be working with such an impressive and committed Board of Directors and
Ambassadors group. I delight in meeting
our members at the many social and networking events we sponsor throughout the
year - and if you haven’t been to a monthly
Chamber Mixer, you’re really missing out
on something special!
So come make your Chamber membership work for you. The more you put in, the
more you get out. We pride ourselves on really knowing our members – professionally
and personally. It is no surprise that in 50
years of existence, a rousing 98 percent of
respondents found value in belonging to the
Chamber. Be sure that you’re one of them
by participating in any way you can. I hope
to see you soon!
With warm regards,
Past Presidents

FOCUS ON BUSINESS
This guide has been prepared for YOU, whether you are
a member of the Commerce Industrial Council Chamber of
Commerce, a prospective member of the chamber, a visitor to
our many and varied attractions, someone interested in beginning a business in Commerce, or a resident of our growing
community. It is designed as a handy resource and an outgrowth of service to our business owners and residents.
Within these pages, you will find many interesting facts
about Commerce. We hope they will provide an insight into our
community and the pride that is shared by those within it.
What is the Commerce Industrial Council?
Since 1959, the Commerce Industrial Council, a chamber of commerce, has helped hundreds of businesses take root in
the City of Commerce. It has been the voice of business since
incorporation of the city in 1960. Determined to avoid higher
property taxes that annexation to any neighboring city might
bring, a hardy band of business leaders and residents set out
in 1959 to incorporate the land as the 67th city in Los Angeles
County. These volunteers proclaimed their intention to establish a “Model City” with unique advantages for industry and
residents alike.
Today, the Commerce Industrial Council has helped hundreds of businesses take root in our Model City. Much of the
effort of the Commerce Industrial Council continues in business advocacy. As a business resident, you have, undoubtedly,
moved from a city which imposed taxes, to our “No Tax” City.
There is no PROPERTY TAX levied; no UTILITY USER
TAX; no PAYROLL TAX; no GROSS RECEIPTS TAX, and
low BUSINESS LICENSE fees. The Commerce Industrial
Council is proud to have made significant contributions leading to the many benefits that you receive today. We have nearly
50 years of experience representing a vast variety of businesses
and industry in Commerce. The Chamber strives to maintain
a cooperative working relationship with the City of Commerce.
The Chamber is a membership driven organization supported
by membership investments, program user fees, and revenue
from fundraising events.
Why join the Commerce Industrial Council
Chamber of Commerce?
There is no better investment for a business or professional
firm than membership in the Commerce Industrial Council.
The Chamber accomplishes cooperatively for the individual
business enterprise what the business could not achieve alone.
It represents business interests on the local, state, and federal
levels of government, and advocates and lobbies strongly for
business.

Recycle Theft is Illegal
Stealing recyclables is illegal under state law. The California Public Resource Code 419590 states: “(a) No person, other than the authorized recycling agent of the city of county,
shall remove paper, glass, cardboard, plastic, used motor oil,
ferrous metal, aluminum, or other recyclable materials which
have been segregated from solid waste materials and placed at
designated recycling collection location for residential curbside collection programs authorized by a city, county, or local
agency for the purposes of collection and recycling. “
Individuals who steal recyclables often enter private property or leave a mess behind. Recycle theft can also lead to
other theft. You can report recycling theft by calling the Los
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at 323/264-4151.

FOCUS ON BUSINESS
Chamber Membership Provides Valuable Benefits
Legislative Advocacy
The Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee serves
as a constant “watch dog” over proposed legislation that will
affect business, and communicates its positions to legislators
and members.
Networking Opportunities
“Business-After-Hours” Open House Receptions and
Mixers are hosted throughout the year by a different chamber member company, providing a relaxed, informal setting
where members can exchange business cards and develop new
business relationships. Mixer host companies are able to show
off their locations and benefit from advertising before and after the event.
Buy And Sell In Commerce (B.A.S.I.C.) Luncheons
are events featuring dynamic speakers and 25-second commercials by all attendees highlighting their companies’ products
and services. Members may, for a nominal charge, purchase
tabletop display space at the luncheons or sponsor a luncheon
and maximize their exposure on the event flyers and at the
luncheon itself.
Early Bird Networking Breakfasts are monthly events
hosted by a different chamber member venue where members
can network, exchange business cards, and develop new business relationships. Member companies are able to showcase
their products and services for FREE through tabletop display
space at the breakfasts, offering members the opportunity to
provide visual displays.
Business Promotion and Exposure
The Chamber’s web site, www.IndustrialCouncil.org,
provides Chamber members with complimentary listings by
their business names, categories and representatives. Averag-
ing over 25,000 hits a year (average 2,000 a month), the web
site provides worldwide exposure for local companies. Free
links to members’ web sites are also a benefit of membership.
The Focus on Business Magazine is a valuable resource
for businesses and residents. It promotes all Chamber members and provides credible referrals for needed products and
services. Information on accommodations, dining, entertainment, and retail shops is especially beneficial to visitors and
new arrivals to Commerce.
The Spread the Word mid-month direct mailing program is an efficient way to reach your target market by designing your own letter-size flyer, which, for a nominal charge, the
Chamber then mails it to all member representatives.
Members-Only Business Referrals

Jack Says...
THE MESSED-UP ECONOMY
Jack Kyser, Chief Economist
The Economic
Environment
The U.S. economy hit
a rough patch in 2008. Domestic spending by American households, businesses
and governments has slowed
markedly. Attempts to shrink
business inventories are adding further drag. Nonfarm
employment declined steadily
January through August 2008,
the first such string of losses
since 2001-2002. While the
rate of decline hasn’t changed
appreciably over this period,
job losses have spread beyond
the housing, subprime mortgage banking, and housingrelated manufacturing sectors
to Wall Street investment
banking, commercial banking, most manufacturing
sectors, and retail trade. On
the plus side, foreign trade is
providing significant lift to
the economy, as exports surge
while imports slow. Also, con-

sumer spending for services
and government spending are
growing steadily.
Downside risks to the
economy lurk in the capital
markets. The subprime mortgage problems that became all
too evident during the second
half of 2007 linger on. In addition, interbank lending has
frozen up, which is disrupting credit markets worldwide.
In response, central banks in
the U.S. and Europe reduced
short term interest rates and
pumped billions of dollars/
euros into their respective
financial systems. However,
The problems on Wall
Street are spreading to Main
Street. Banks are raising credit standards and restricting
the availability of ordinary
consumer and business loans
as well as mortgages. This
credit squeeze reduces the
ability to finance purchases of
homes, furniture, machinery,
hotels and office buildings,
and thereby restrains the ability of the economy to grow.
How will we get out of
this pickle? When it comes,
the economic recovery will
proceed along two tracks. On
the “real side” of the economy,
the capital markets remain
skittish, and governments are
having to take even stronger
action, in some cases virtually guaranteeing the debts of
seemingly shaky banks. More
bank closures, forced mergers, asset fire sales, etc. are on
the horizon.
the drag from the housing
crash will lessen when housing construction hits bottom. When the stock of unsold homes has been reduced
enough, builders will have to
hire workers to fill new orders.
Falling home prices and lower mortgage rates will hasten
Fall/Winter 2008
this process. Recovery in the
automotive sector requires a
similar combination of events
to occur. Dealers’ current
stocks of fuel-hungry trucktype vehicles must be sold and
replaced with new attractive,
thriftier models, and financing must be made available
for dealers and consumers to
acquire those vehicles. Lower
gasoline prices will hasten the
process. Indeed, manufacturers and distributors of most
products will follow similar
recovery strategies, first bringing production or purchases
below the current low level of
sales and then boosting production/purchases as demand
turns up.
On the other side of the
economy, time will be needed for the financial sector’s
wounds to heal. Most banks
need time to identify and
resolve the issues surrounding the bad loans that can
be worked out. Loans that
can’t be worked out must be
written off. Additional funds
must be obtained to re-establish the lenders’ capital positions. Only then will they become more interested in the
basic lending business and
be able to contribute to the
economy’s recovery.
Los Angeles County has
not escaped the national recession. Nonfarm job counts
will decline by -0.2% in 2008.
Housing, mortgage fi-

nance, and manufacturing are the primary sectors in
decline during 2008. However, the health services, private
education, professional, scientific & technical services sectors all are trending up.
Los Angeles County’s
large wholesale/logistics industry reflects the opposing trends in international
trade. The number of loaded
import containers moving
through the region’s two San
Pedro Bay ports has declined
steadily compared with 2007.
For example, import container counts in July were 10.5% below July, 2007. On
the other hand, the number
of loaded export containers
moving through the ports has
increased dramatically, up by
a whopping +23.6% in July
2008 over July 2007. The
L.A. regional ports mostly
handle imports, especially
from Asia. Thus, total container traffic (included loaded
import and export containers
plus empties) declined by 7.5% in July 2008.
With fewer import containers, only 45 trains per day,
on average, have been running
through the Alameda Corridor; this figure is about the
same as the first eight months
of 2007, but well below the
2006 eight-month average
of 54 trains per day. Finally,
employment in the county’s
wholesale trade and transportation sectors has begun to fall
short of the 2007 level.
L.A. County is also a large
center of manufacturing. Job
counts in most manufacturing
sectors have been falling, but
the pain is sharper in some sec-
tors than others. Employment
is growing in the food products, petroleum refining and
pharmaceutical sectors. The
biggest job losses are in two
housing related sectors: wood
products and furniture. Most
other sectors report small declines in employment, normal
for this industry.
Going forward, the economic outlook for 2009 depends heavily on what happens
in housing, nationally and
in Los Angeles, and when. If
housing would just hit bottom
(stop falling), the economy
could grow at a modest rate.
However, a solid economic
recovery will require participation by the housing and financial sectors. The timing is
still uncertain, but the recovery should be in place by the
end of 2009.

Commerce Olympians Earn Silver Medals
Commerce Olympians Brenda Villa and Patty Cardenas
earned Silver Medals when the USA Women’s Water Polo team
qualified for the Gold Medal game in the Olympics in Beijing,
China. The USA Women’s Water Polo team lost a heartbreaking match on August 21 in the Gold Medal match against the
Netherlands by a final score of 9-8 after battling back from a 5-1
deficit at the end of the first quarter.
From there on out the Dutch and Americans were in a
pitched battle for the gold. USA player Betsey Armstrong ended the match with 14 saves for 24 shots. The USA goals were
spread out between seven players, which included one from
Brenda Villa.
2008 Silver Medalist and three-time
Olympian Brenda Villa represented the
U.S. and Commerce as the Captain of
the Women’s Water Polo Team.
2008 Silver Medalist Patty Cardenas
represented the U.S. and Commerce as
a member of the Women’s Water Polo
Team.
Despite not winning the gold, the USA Women’s Water
Polo Team, which was led by Brenda who was the team’s captain, made history by being the first women’s team ever to medal
in three consecutive Olympics. This year’s Silver Medal follows
the Silver in 2000 and the Bronze in 2004.
En route to the Gold Medal game Brenda Villa scored three
goals in the prior game including the winning goal with one
minute remaining to defeat long time rival Australia 9-8. That
match was set by the United States winning Group A while Australia knocked off upstart China 12-11. Australia and the United States have met in every Olympic Games thus far containing
women’s water polo. Previous matches in this year’s Olympics
were a 12-7 victory over Russia, a tie against Italy and a 12-11
victory over China.
The City of Commerce commends Brenda, Patty and the
rest of the USA Women’s Water Polo Team for doing an amazing job of representing the United States in this year’s Olympics
and congratulates them on winning the Silver Medal.

Cardenas, and Olympic water polo, visit the USA Water Polo’s

Commerce Olympian Boxer Javier Molina
Although Commerce boxer Olympian Javier Molina was eliminated from the Olympics in the first round
after suffering from what his Coach Dan Campbell said
was a small hole in the boxer’s lung, which allowed air
to seep out beneath the skin, we are proud to report that
Molina represented our City and the United States with
honor, dignity, courage, and maturity.
On a positive note, we are happy to say that Javier’s family was there in Beijing, China to support him
thanks to the generous donations from local businesses
and organizations, including the Commerce Casino’s
$10,000 donation to each of the three Olympic families for a total of $30,000.
Javier was the second U.S. boxer to have healthrelated issues in Beijing. According to the Los Angeles
Times, the condition, which was diagnosed as subcutaneous emphysema, can be caused by trauma as slight
as a cough. Javier is expected to fully recover and we
look forward to welcoming him home after representing the City on the global stage.

Since our founding in 1922, Unified Western Grocers has evolved significantly as a company. So has our corporate logo.
In the early days, Unified’s corporate brand looked like a seal of approval or a prize-winning ribbon to symbolize the
high quality of the products we offered to retailers. By mid-century, acronyms like CGC and Cergro came into vogue
and, in part, symbolized the speed and efficiency of our company’s logistics operation.

In the 1990s, the name “Certified” returned to our brand symbol but in a more prominent position than before. When
we merged with United Grocers in 1999, the resulting name and logo was “Unified Western Grocers,” which was

Today we have “evolved” once again. We’re Unified Grocers – and like our Market Centre subsidiary, we’ve got “More

FOG Prevention
Help Reduce Fat, Oil, and
Grease (FOG) in Sewers
The most common cause of sewer overflows is from
the accumulation of FOG in the sewer system. FOG is a
byproduct of cooking, most commonly found in meat fats,
lard, cooking oil, shortening, butter, margarine, food scraps,
baking goods, sauces, dairy products, etc. These products
harden and stick to the inside of the sewer pipes (both on
your property and under the streets) building up and eventually causing a blockage in the sewer pipe.
To prevent any build up in the sewer pipes, DO NOT
pour the above-mentioned products down the sink or toilet. Paper towel or any absorbent materials should be use to
absorb or wipe off excess FOG from pots, pans, plates, etc.
before placing them in the sink. Meat scraps, coffee grounds,
eggshells, and other solid foods should be put in the trashcan
and NOT in the garbage disposal. Rinse your dirty rags and
shoes outside and not in the sink. Keep disposable diapers,
Q-tips, Kleenex, dental floss, etc., out of the sewer to help
keep it clean and clear.

events include, but not limited to

Houses.
The Ambassadors Committee meets the second Tuesday
of each month, January through
November, at 12:00 PM. Other
meetings may be held as the Ambassador Chairperson directs.

persons to represent the Chamber,

Mouth. Nothing compares to an informed
recommendation from someone trusted and
respected by potential customers.

from a Word of Mouth recommendation
from an Ambassador.

your company/organization’s customers
– their needs, concerns, and preferences.

can demonstrate initiative, cooperative
spirit, and leadership qualities.
❖ An Ambassador is another way to advertise and promote while participating in
special programs.
❖ Being an Ambassador allows valuable exposure within the City of Commerce and
the greater Los Angeles region, providing
valuable leads and referrals.
❖ Being an Ambassador offers opportunities
to “show off your stuff” to potential customers (fellow Ambassadors/volunteers
become future customers).
Qualifications:
❖ An Ambassador should be a professional
in the area of sales, marketing, public relations, or in an area where outside contact
with the business community is required,
and whose business will directly benefit
from Ambassador Calls.
❖ An Ambassador needs to be interested in
community involvement and have future
leadership potential for service to the
Chamber of Commerce.
❖ An Ambassador needs to be knowledgeable
about Chamber services, programs and
activities, and the business community.

Graphic Electric Is A Specialist
Graphic Electric is an electrical contracting business that specializes in commercial and industrial wiring.
Graphic Electric was founded in 1978 by Sam and Yvonne
Navarro. The business began in a small home office and
warehouse that was rented in Los Angeles. Sam and his first
two electricians did the fieldwork while Yvonne ran the office. After graduating in 1984 from Loyola Marymount
University, their son Steve joined the company full time.
The Navarro’s and their crew specialize in wiring and
servicing printing presses and related equipment. Because
of their wide knowledge and training, Graphic Electric has
branched to other industries specializing in motor controls.
Their staff’s knowledge in motor control, PLC and AC &
DC drives separates them from other electrical contractors.
Graphic Electric and its team have grown to (25) installation electricians, (7) electronic service technicians and
(2) motor/pump mechanics. Their fleet of 22 service and
installation trucks are dispatched to service all over Southern California. The company has recently moved to a new
20,000 square foot facility in the City of Commerce. The
City of Commerce location has made business more efficient because of the central location to our neighboring industrial cities.
For more information please call Sam or Steve
Navarro at their 24-hour phone number (323)728-4277.

Agreement for Funding Washington Boulevard
Improvements Approved
The City of Commerce took another “preliminary” step
forward on the Washington Boulevard Widening and Reconstruction Project. The next steps are an environmental
study and public meetings.
In April, the California Transportation Commission approved the city’s request for $5.8 million to help fund the
street improvements, which are estimated to total $32 million. At its July 1 meeting, the City Council, approved and
executed the required “Project Baseline Agreement” with the
CTC and Caltrans, formalizing the agencies’ commitment
to the project and documenting its cost, schedule, scope and
benefits.
The final physical design of the project will be based on
the environmental findings and community’s input. The next
phase of the project will involve an environmental review and
community outreach.

Pilot Program Mitigates Pollution in Ayers Neighborhood
Residences in the Ayers neighborhood have been
selected for a pilot home improvement program that will
mitigate some of the noise, air
and light pollution caused by
the adjacent railroad facility
and the 710 Freeway.
In July, the City Council
authorized funding for the Environmental Housing Rehabilitation Pilot Program to address
the pollutants and traffic congestion that plague residents
in the area. The neighborhood
was targeted because it is the
most affected by the rail yard
and the freeway.
The pilot program offers
a one-time grant for interior,
exterior and landscaping improvements that will decrease
the effects of noise, light, and
air pollution on residential prop-
erties. Interior improvements
will include the installation of
carbon monoxide detectors and
filtration systems to assist in the
cleaning of exterior air entering
homes. Exterior improvements
include the installation of double-paned windows and ventilation systems to decrease noise
pollution, and window tinting
to combat light pollution. Landscaping will include the planting
or placement of trees to address
noise and light pollution.
Twenty grants are available
for up to $30,000 in upgrades.
For details on the program call
Community Development Coordinator Heriberto Valdes at
323/722-4805.
While the program was initially aimed at homeowners, the
city is currently developing criteria for rental properties.

City Supports Clean Air Technology
New System Reduces Pollutants
The City has invested in clean-air technology that may
significantly reduce the toxic emissions and health risks generated by idling locomotives in rail yards. At its July 15 meeting, the City Council agreed to a one-time contribution of
$20,000 to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District
to help fund the Advanced Locomotive Emissions Control
System currently being tested at the Union Pacific J.R. Davis
Rail Yard in Roseville, California.
ALECS essentially works as an overhead mechanical ventilation system whereby exhausts are captured by large ventilator devices placed over the top of the idling locomotives
exhaust stacks and evacuated through a series of ducts to a
nearby mechanical system to clean and scrub the exhaust.
Early tests reveal 90 to 98 percent reductions of pollutants
including NOx (nitrogen oxides), PM-2.5 (particulate matter) and SOx (sulfur oxides).
This is the first time that the technology has been used at
a rail yard anywhere in the nation.
Commerce benefits by supporting clean air technology
that could be used to reduce the health risks in the Union
Pacific and BNSF facilities. Additionally, the partnership will
give the City early access to test data and results, and inside
knowledge on installing and operating part of the ALECS
system in a rail yard.
Commerce’s participation will also help ALECS gain acceptance by the railroad companies and accelerate the Air Resources Board’s acceptance of the system for public funding.
