Huntington Beach approves agreement for lifeguard tower advertisements
Advertisements are a step closer to appearing on the back of each lifeguard tower on Huntington City Beach. The City Council Tuesday night approved a three-year agreement with a Huntington Beach-based company, Rio Media, to implement the program. Five council members approved the agreement, including Mayor Pat Burns and Mayor Pro Tem Casey McKeon. Councilman Butch Twining recused himself, as he said he was friends with one of the bidders, while Councilman Andrew Gruel was absent. 'This is a great revenue generating opportunity, getting creative,' McKeon said. 'This is done very tastefully, and it's a good public service.' City officials first unveiled a design for the back of 24 towers on Huntington City Beach last November, an opportunity identified by the Huntington Beach Fire Department. In addition to the advertisements, the design includes beach safety information and a QR code to access Rio estimated that the tower advertisements could generate at least $1 million annually, 70% of which would go to the city and 30% of which would go to the vendor. High-traffic towers are expected to generate about half of that total. A request for proposals process brought two of the bidders, and the city went with Rio. Huntington Beach Fire Chief Eric McCoy said during Tuesday night's meeting that a local company would also be doing the wraps for the towers. 'We'll have two H.B. companies involved in the process, which is something we're really excited about,' McCoy said.

Hollywood Hills man sentenced in rehab kickback scheme
A Hollywood Hills man was sentenced on Friday to more than three years in federal prison for paying kickbacks to those who referred patients to his Orange County rehabilitation facilities. Casey Mahoney, 48, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison, as well as being ordered to pay $240,000 in fines, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release. He was convicted in September of: One count of conspiracy to solicit, receive, pay or offer illegal remunerations for patient referrals Seven counts of illegal remunerations for patient referrals Three counts of money laundering Mahoney recruited clients for two addiction treatment facilities that he owned: Huntington Beach-based Healing Path Detox LLC and San Juan Capistrano-based Get Real Recovery Inc., using so-called 'body brokers,' the DOJ said. Conflicts between neighbors, group homes persist in California's 'Rehab Riviera' These brokers make money referring patients to rehab and, in Mahoney's case, 'in turn paid thousands of dollars in cash to patients,' prosecutors said. Some of these patients were supplied drugs so they'd qualify for 'more lucrative levels of care at Mahoney's facilities,' prosecutors said. They were also sometimes introduced to drug dealers at Orange County motels. Some of these patients later overdosed and died. In this scheme and others like it, the targets are often health insurance companies. 'Mahoney also requested that his employees send brokers to track down former patients with lucrative insurance policies, which he called his ''most wanted list,'' the DOJ said. Orange County rehab worker illegally paid people to bring addiction patients to his facility, prosecutors say To cover up the scheme, Mahoney entered 'sham contracts' with body brokers that promised a fixed payment that wasn't determined by patient volume or value. That, however, was not the case, prosecutors said. 'In reality, Mahoney and the brokers negotiated payments based on the patients' insurance reimbursements and the number of days Mahoney was able to bill for treatment,' the DOJ explained. Mahoney is far from the only person accused of wrongdoing in the Orange County drug rehab industry. Scott Raffa of Newport Beach was charged with a similar alleged arrangement, as was another O.C. rehab worker who allegedly paid body brokers to refer patients to him. In another alleged scheme, six people worked together to have sober-living patients undergo medically unnecessary surgeries that racked up tens of millions of dollars in costs. 'Bribes and kickbacks compromise the integrity of substance abuse treatment facilities and undermine patient care,' said Acting United States Attorney Joseph McNally. 'As the sentence imposed today demonstrates, those that engage in body brokering will go to federal prison.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
