INGLEWOOD — With two city council seats and three positions on the Inglewood Unified School District board up for grabs, voters here will head to the polls Tuesday for an election with no shortage of implications for the city’s future.

In their races, First District Councilman Danny Tabor and 2nd District Councilwoman Judy Dunlap each face three opponents.

Dunlap, in office since 1993, faces Donald A. Clytus, Joseph Soto and Pastor Austin Williams of the True Vine Church.

Clytus and Soto did not return calls by press time. But Williams, 65, claims the business community in the district has been ignored, and said he will work hard on its behalf.

“Other districts have shopping centers and sit-down eateries and we have fast-food joints and junk yards,” Williams said in an interview.

However, in an e-mail reply, Dunlap disagreed. “The most successful redevelopment project in the city of Inglewood, to date, is in District Two: Marvin Engineering,” she wrote. “The Marvin Group has $160 million annually in revenue. The positions that were created with their last major expansion (with assistance from the Agency) were real career opportunities … not just jobs.”

Similarly, economic issues are central to First District, where Tabor faces planning commission Chairman George Dotson, airport-expansion opponent Mike Stevens and Stafford V. Hamlin.

Dotson, who lost a runoff election to Tabor in 2007, cited his nearly 40 years of business experience and said he wants to bring more “openness to the decision-making process.”

“I want residents to get more involved,” he said in an interview. “I’m in and out of neighborhoods all the time. I want to hear the concerns of residents.”

In calling for his re-election, Tabor pointed to his vision to revive the Manchester Boulevard and Market Street corridors. “I’m bringing in new urban venture [thinking] to work with current owners to help propose to the city developments that would renovate these areas,” he said.

Hamlin did not respond to calls for comment, but a major Stevens proposal is the establishment of a “small business incubator program” to help Inglewood residents who lack access to capital.

“Existing city staff can be mentors to small business owners ensuring the loan funds are spent wisely,” he wrote in an e-mail.

On the IUSD board, the retirement of Alice Grigsby has spawned four candidates vying for her seat: Dr. Renee F. Dorn, the daughter of Mayor Roosevelt Dorn who works as a high school/college liaison for the El Camino Community College District, former interim First District council member Alena Cindy Giardina; Brandon Kiel; and Maria D. Olmedo.

According to Dorn’s online agenda, she has outlined a seven-point platform that includes greater parental involvement, supporting and recognizing student achievement, promoting fine arts and increased knowledge about graduate options.

Kiel, who at 25 is the youngest candidate in the race, works as an account executive and runs a weekend mentorship program at La Tijera High School. “I am young, energetic and I can identify with the students,” he said. “I want to bring new ideas to the district.”

Olmedo, 32, is an Inglewood High School graduate who works in special education at the Los Angeles Unified School District. “My number one priority would be to strengthen and improve partnerships within the system,” she said. “We need a community effort to make sure our students can compete in today’s global economy.”

Current school board vice president Trina Williams will seek to hold on to her seat against attorney Mary Bueno and children’s author and educator Carliss Richardson-McGhee.

Williams believes her recent calls for accountability with the Measure K Bond program will resonate with voters, while McGhee lists her top priorities as strengthening curriculum, providing resource centers for parents and providing 21st century technology for all classrooms.

Bueno, who once held the seat on an interim basis, has called for a different atmosphere in the district. “Seventy percent of the students in the district are Latino, but there are no Latinos on the board,” she has remarked.

In another race, incumbent Arnold Butler faces two opponents: Karen Y. Hamilton and Joyce L. Randall, a former Inglewood public school teacher who is now pastor of Praises of Zion AMELC Church.

Randall said she is running to end what she called “the shenanigans” in the district and on Wednesday held a press conference outside a Los Angeles residence she claimed was Butler’s legal residence, accusing the incumbent of violating election law.

“He doesn’t live in the district and he’s not a good board member,” said Randall. “It’s time for a change. I’m confident that the people will make the right decision if they are given the right information.”

Butler dismissed the allegation. “I don’t know anything about the press conference. Are you sure they held it?” he said, before referring to reports that Randall has been through bankruptcy. “Anyway, this is all theatrics. That’s my business address. I’m a small developer and I use it to that end. My official residence is in Inglewood at 3139 Holly Park Drive. I have a lease, my mail goes there and that’s where I’m registered to vote.”

He added: “I’m the best candidate with the best credentials and I’m on a mission to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse.”

Randall shot back: “Millions of Americans have gone through bankruptcy. I don’t want to get into smut, it’s about our children.”
