3.  USPS PROBLEMS – UPDATE

Dear Westwood residents with USPS concerns,

Congressman Ted Lieu takes your USPS concerns very seriously. On his behalf I had a very productive meeting today with USPS authorities. I conveyed your compliments and your complaints.

USPS in your area has been given permission to hire additional workers. It will take a little time to find the right people and train them, and get them to be as good as some of our favorite long time carriers.

Also they have several new systems in the works that should help delivery. Again, these are just going into place and it will take a little time for them to be up and running smoothly.

They are also making an effort to address the stolen mail problem and problems with customer service at the post offices themselves.

Their communications director is going to write a release about some of these changes so that this information is conveyed to you accurately.

Although I will be out of town on vacation from April 18 until May 4th I will occasionally check my e mail and will forward this to you when it comes in.

I also wanted you to know that it was agreed that I would have regular meetings with USPS every 4 to 6 weeks.

So I’ll need you to keep a watchful eye. I will check in with you in a month to see if the situation has improved or gotten worse.

Best,
Janet

2.  LAPD CRIME REPORT

BURGLARY THEFT FROM MOTOR VEHICLE ALERT!

An automobile is never a safe or secure place to leave any valuables whether locked or unlocked. If any property is left unattended in the car, even for just a few minutes, IT WILL BE STOLEN! Even something as simple as a small sun glass case, an empty backpack or gym bag will cause your car window to be smashed resulting in hundreds of dollars in damage alone.

Car burglars are taking a variety of small electronics and valuables. The top items being taken in most car burglaries are back packs, portable GPS systems, IPODS, cellular smart phones, lap top computers, IPADS, purses, wallets and money.

The West Los Angeles Area continues to be a target rich environment. A variety of car burglars canvass neighborhoods throughout the night to commit their crimes while most of us are sleeping. Although many arrests have been made, the crimes continue occur. This tells us there are numerous suspects that are targeting neighborhoods.

The Los Angeles Police Department is making every effort to combat this problem.

Community awareness and involvement is instrumental to the prevention of these crimes.

Please do not leave ANY property visible in the car! Remember to Lock It, Hide it, Keep It!

Current Trending Analysis:
Residential Burglaries: North of Santa Monica Blvd. (0 crimes), North of Wilshire Blvd. (0 crimes). North of Sunset Blvd. (1 crime). Auto related crimes (Break Ins and Stolen Vehicles): North of Santa Monica Blvd. (3 crimes), North of Wilshire Blvd. (0 crimes) North of Sunset Blvd. (2 crimes).

Package Thefts appear to be trending throughout the area. Packages being delivered and left unattended in accessible areas are being stolen. Please arrange to have packages dropped off in a secure location or receivable location.

3.  EMERSON MIDDLE SCHOOL

We have been informed that there will be no co-location offer at Emerson for the upcoming school year. See the announcement below.

Dear Emerson Community,

We are pleased to share with you the news that we received from LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines that the District will NOT issue a Prop 39 co-location offer on the campus of Emerson Community Charter for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.

So many of our parents, students, teachers and community members came together to voice our strong opposition to the potential co-location of a high school on Emerson’s campus. For weeks we rallied together by signing petitions, writing letters, attending meetings, canvassing the neighborhood and sending emails. This is what we can accomplish when our community comes together. We feel privileged to be part of Emerson and we look forward to continuing to work together to keep our school a vital community asset.

Sincerely,
Michele Bollinger & Maureen Feldman
Co Presidents, PACE

1.  NEW L.A. ORDINANCE PROTECTS HOLMBY WESTWOOD

On March 25th, City Council passed two Interim Control Ordinances (ICOs), previously passed by the LA Planning and Land Use Committee. The first ICO will protect five communities (including Holmby Westwood) which await their long overdue historic preservation overlay zone designations. The HPOZ process has long been hampered and delayed by a lack of staff in the Planning Department. Due to numerous requests for HPOZs throughout Los Angeles (there are currently 29 HPOZs with more in line), four additional new Planning Department staff members are being hired just to handle HPOZs. The ICO for these five communities provides for restrictions on demolition and some exterior alterations. This will allow the Planning Department the necessary time required to train new staff members and process the HPOZs. Survey LA, a joint effort of The Getty Foundation and the City of Los Angeles, determined that Holmby Westwood is the most historically intact residential community on the Westside of Los Angeles.

The second ICO will protect fifteen communities from further mansionization and will allow time for City Planning to re-write the existing, ineffective 2008 Baseline Mansionization Ordinance. Our Councilman, Paul Koretz, was quoted as saying, “I’m very happy the restrictions will go into effect soon so that we can avoid having hundreds more homes demolished while city officials work on more permanent rules on mansionization. Hopefully, this will slow down the occurrence of boxy, lot-line to lot-line McMansions.”

A very positive March 17th LA Times editorial stated “the goal (in 2008) was to maintain the character and quality of life of …neighborhoods without trampling on the rights of property owners. But the ordinance was so full of loopholes that owners have been able to build oversized houses anyway…the need is most urgent in the neighborhoods waiting to be declared historic preservation overlay zones .”

Mayor Eric Garcetti is very much in favor of preserving the historic identity and character of the communities which make LA such a diverse, interesting, and eclectic city. The trend towards preservation in Los Angeles mirrors what has become a very strong movement nationwide.

3.  VIN CAR WINDOW ETCHING EVENT

MAKE YOUR CAR UNATTRACTIVE TO CAR THIEVES

The Automobile Club of California Santa Monica branch, the LAPD, West Los Angeles Division, and NICB are combining efforts to thwart vehicle theft and vehicle burglary by hosting a VIN car window etching event. This event is to help raise consumer awareness of auto theft and to stop car thieves.

On Wednesday, April 8th, 2015, between 10 AM to 3 PM, AAA and West Los Angeles Area Police will be applying federally-registered VIN numbers onto all windows of vehicles. On average, the etching process takes approximately 10 minutes. Etched windows make a stolen vehicle easier to trace, and deter car thieves who would need to replace VIN-etched windows if they changed the VIN on the front dash.

WHERE: LAPD, West Los Angeles Division parking lot, 1663 Butler Ave, 90025 (Telephone: 310-444-0702.) Auto Club, NICB and officers will perform window etching.

WHY: Car theft is the #1 ongoing property crime in America. There were 14,382 vehicles stolen in Los Angeles, according to 2013 FBI Annual Uniform Crime Report. The West Los Angeles area experienced an 11% increase in vehicle thefts from 2013 to 2014, according to LAPD West Los Angeles Division crime statistics. Top stolen vehicles were 1990s Honda Accords, Honda Civics, Toyota Camrys and 2000s Toyota Corollas.

In addition, car thieves and vehicle burglars are targeting vehicles to steal third-row seats in SUVs, airbags, in-car entertainment systems, GPS navigation systems, iPods, cell phones, briefcases, gym bags, wallets, shopping packages, as well as bank statements, and credit card bills to steal identities, according to law enforcement officials.

For additional information, please contact Auto Club, Elaine Beno, 714-885-2324; Det. Maria Ceja, 310-444-1503.
