4.  WESTWOOD BLVD. PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) will be replacing approximately 2,750 feet of 8” water main on Westwood Blvd, from Le Conte Ave to Lindbrook Dr. The existing 6” water main being replaced was installed in 1928. This project is already underway and is estimated to be completed by the March 2018.

Crews will be working nights, Sunday night through Friday morning 9:00 p.m. to 6:00a.m. You will be notified in advance of any planned interruption in water service, although in an emergency situation you may experience unplanned water interruptions. You may also experience some traffic congestion due to the work in the area. Parking will be restricted while work is in progress. Cars left in the street during working hours may be subject to towing.

Please also be advised that after completion of the water main installation, a paving contractor will be repaving the affected area. There will be “No Parking” signs posted and enforced during the repaving process.

1.  HALLOWEEN SAFETY

In order to assist the Los Angeles community in enjoying this fun-filled holiday as safely as possible, the Los Angeles Police Department has compiled a list of Halloween safety tips for children and their parents.

To keep all trick-or-treaters safe, please read and take heed of these important safety tips:

• Drivers should look for children walking on the street, running and darting in between parked vehicles;
• Especially when in or near neighborhoods, avoid using cell phones and texting while driving;
• Keep houses and driveways well lighted so children know they can approach your homes;
• When inspecting candy, if in doubt, just throw it out;
• Be sure to follow all traffic signals and laws and walk only on sidewalks, not the street; and
• Adults should always accompany children, trick-or-treat in groups or have children be accompanied by a trusted adult.

And don’t forget about the four-legged members of the family. Pets can be confused and spooked by strange sounds and sights, and unfamiliar people in costumes, so keep pets indoors and away from the front door. As always, make sure your pets also have up-to-date identification.

Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend!  Happy Halloween!

6.  VETERANS TOWN HALL

Dear Friend,

I would like to invite you to attend a Veterans Town Hall on November 10, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Wadsworth Theatre, which is on the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Campus, to listen to veterans tell the community their experiences about going to war.

This unique event, inspired by Sebastian Junger, is a community forum that aims to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors for whom they fought. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that war bestowed upon them. The role of non-veterans will be to attend, to listen, and to learn.

A gathering like this town hall will allow members of our district to learn about the complexities of war and acquire a better appreciation for our veterans who served. I would be grateful if you, your friends, and family would join me for this special event. To RSVP, please go to http://bit.ly/VetsTownHall

Sincerely,
Ted W. Lieu
Member of Congress

BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 170817022
200 BLOCK CONWAY AV  |  10/13/2017 @ 4:00 PM

Security Cameras and Video Surveillance
LAPD is now recommending homeowners install and use camera devices from companies like Ring and Nest, or devices offered by your security company, that send you a message on your smart phone whenever a person has entered a programmed zone.

HWPOA is not recommending any one system over another, or over the system you currently have, but like the LAPD, we do believe these new innovations have many benefits to homeowners who want to know what’s going on at their property when they’re home and away. Of particular use are the motion alerts which allow you to view on your browser or smartphone specific occurrences without watching hours of video.

2.  DOG OWNER ETIQUETTE

HWPOA has recently received several complaints regarding dogs and dog owners:

Keep Dogs on a Leash
For the safety of your neighbors, children and other dogs, please keep your dog on a leash at all times when you are outside of your home.  We have had several past reports of dog attacks in the neighborhood, injuring both people and dogs.  Please follow the law and keep your dog on a leash.

Use Your Own Trash Bins
While everyone appreciates that you are picking up dog waste, please dispose of it in your own trash bin.  Please be respectful and do not use your neighbors’ bins.

Thank you for your cooperation.

3.  SHRUBS BLOCKING SIDEWALKS – PLEASE TRIM

Throughout the neighborhood, many shrubs and hedges have become overgrown.  Some are encroaching on the sidewalk, making the sidewalk narrow and difficult to navigate.

If your bushes, shrubs or hedges are overgrown and blocking the sidewalk, please trim them as soon as possible.  Thank you.

 

4.  UCLA STUDENT HOUSING PROJECTS

UCLA is proposing to develop student housing at five different sites including:

• Lot 15 (near Veteran)
• Warren Hall (near Weyburn Place)
• University Extension building (at LeConte/Gayley)
• Bradley (at Gayley/Strathmore)
• Drake Stadium (over the concourse)

These projects will add a combined 6,900 beds to undergraduate and graduate student housing.

3.  PET LAWS

From L.A. Animal Services:

If you are a dog owner or are thinking about adding a dog to your home, you know or can’t wait to enjoy the loyal companionship and excitement they bring to your life. Along with the fun, dogs rely on us to care for them, give them food and water and keep them safe. Part of keeping your four-legged friend safe, means following City and State pet laws created to protect you, your dog and your community.

By following the below pet laws under the City of Los Angeles Municipal Code (“LAMC”) you can be responsible, protect your pet and avoid possible fines.

License your dog (LAMC 53.28)
Dogs are required to be licensed after the age of four months. To obtain a license, dog owners must show proof of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination. The cost for an annual license is $20 per year/per dog. There are a few exemptions for dogs that are not spayed or neutered, but the fees jump from $20 to $100 and can rise to $335 with a breeding permit.

You can license your pet online at anionlinelicense.lacity.org. To get an intact dog license, you can go to your nearest City shelter and provide proof of the exemption and microchip information. To learn more about the exemptions, visit LAAnimalServices.com.

Prevent unwanted litters – Spay or Neuter your dog (LAMC 53.15.2)
Dogs (and cats) are required to be spayed or neutered after the age of four months, with some exemptions allowed. Free spay and neuter vouchers are available at your nearest City shelter for low-income residents. Applications for the vouchers are also available at City of Los Angeles Council field offices.

Obey the Leash Law (LAMC 53.06)
Dogs must be on leash unless they are in your fenced yard or at a dog park that allows off leash exercise.

Do not tether your dog (LAMC 53.70)
Tying up your dog to any stationary object for more than three hours in a 24 hour period or denying them proper food, water and shelter for long periods of time is against the law and can be harmful to your pup’s life.

Scoop your dog’s poop (LAMC 53.49)
Dog owners are required to clean up after their dogs when taking them out in public. Don’t forget the poop bags when you leave your house for a walk.

4.  UCLA E-WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICE

UCLA has a FREE e-waste disposal service on Saturdays, so that means you don’t have to leave your old electronics, paint, batteries, etc. . . on the sidewalk (or in the trash).  You can simply take it to them and they DISPOSE of or RECYCLE them safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.

E-waste collection is only on Saturdays, but you can take the following materials on Thursday-Saturday:
Paint  and  solvents;  used  motor  oil  and  filters,  anti-freeze,  and  other  automotive  fluids;  cleaning products;  pool  and  garden  chemicals;  aerosol  cans;  all medicine;  auto  batteries;  household  (alkaline)  batteries; fluorescent tubes and bulbs, thermostats, and other mercury-containing lamps.

E-waste (Saturdays only):

BURGLARY (entry of structure w/intent to commit theft or a felony)
Incident #: 170815971
200 BLOCK LORING AV  |  9/23/2017 @ 1:30 AM

THEFT FROM VEHICLE – PETTY ($950 & under)
Incident #: 170815989
1000 BLOCK HILTS AV  |  9/22/2017 @ 9:00 PM

If anyone knocks, calls, emails, texts, or approaches, unsolicited by you, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR, DO NOT ENGAGE! Respectfully and politely indicate that you are not interested. If the solicitors become persistent or refuse to leave, advise them you are notifying the police and report the details to the Non-Emergency Dispatch at 1-877-275-5273.

Be aware that another trend has been Distraction Burglaries. In these incidents a person posing as a utility worker, roofer or tree trimmer knocks on your front or side door and states they need to access your back yard. The suspect will lure you into the back of your residence while a second suspect will enter through the front door and quickly ransack areas inside the home seeking jewelry, cash and small valuables. In most cases the suspects stay in contact and communicate by cellular telephone or two way radios. Other methods of operation have been female suspects who claim their pet or small child went into your backyard.

Whenever receiving emails from financial institutions or retail stores advising you “click here” or providing a direct link to follow in the email, NEVER CLICK ON THE LINK! This is a phishing scam!

Another recent scam has been persons calling and claiming to be from the power company or other utility. The caller demands immediate payment or the power or other utilities will be shut off. In most of the scams, the caller directs the resident to purchase cash debit cards at a retail location and provide the card numbers and pin number as payment.

Just to reiterate, if you receive anything from anywhere, unsolicited, DO NOT RESPOND!

• Solicitors, regardless of if they are selling a product, offering a service, seeking a donation or, political in nature, should be turned away.
• If someone knocks on your door and says you have to step out of your home, especially to go to your back yard, CALL 911 Immediately!
• When logging into online accounts always use the saved link on your browser or type in the web address on your own.
• When making wire transfers, ALWAYS verbally verify and confirm the wire instructions prior to completing the wire transfer.
• You may report Internet scams and crime to www.ic3.gov

2.  OurLA2040 GENERAL PLAN – COMMUNITY MEETING

For the first time in nearly fifty years, the City of Los Angeles is undertaking a comprehensive update to its guiding vision, the General Plan. This initiative, OurLA2040, will result in a new 20-year citywide plan to be adopted in 2020, which will put into place strong and visionary policies to help create a more prosperous, livable, and sustainable Los Angeles.

Join your neighbors and friends to help spark new ideas and shape a better future for Los Angeles:

4.  OLYMPIC-STYLE ARCHERY RANGE NOW OPEN

From the Westwood Patch:

The city’s parks department Saturday unveiled a state- of-the-art archery range for enthusiasts of the sport and future Olympic athletes as L.A. prepares to host the Olympic Games in 2028.

The Easton Rancho Park Archery Range — located at 2459 Motor Ave. in the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center — underwent an extensive $2 million renovation to replace a smaller, outdated facility with soaring pavilions and four levels of shooting lanes.

The archery range is available for public use, free of charge. Normal park hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week for those who bring their own equipment. Beginners’ classes and equipment are available on weekends on a first-come, first-serve basis.

2.  RELAXED PARKING DURING THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS

The Council Office has notified us that parking will be relaxed in our community during the upcoming Jewish holidays.  For a complete list of dates and locations where the parking rules will be relaxed, please CLICK HERE.

Please note that portions of Strathmore and Westholme near Hillel will not have relaxed parking, per Hillel’s conditional use permit.

We wish you a happy and sweet New Year! L’ Shanah Tovah!

3.  WESTWOOD POST OFFICE – LOCATION CHANGE

Several weeks ago, we reported that the U.S. Post Office had secured temporary storefront space on Broxton Avenue.  We recently learned that the lease agreement fell through and a lease for a different location is being finalized.  We apologize to the residents who went to the Broxton location in search of a post office that was non-existent.

The new temporary location in Westwood Village is scheduled to open mid-October, and we will let you know more information when it is up and running.

4.  HWPOA SECURITY SURVEY RESULTS

Thanks to those members who completed the HWPOA security survey.  Over 120 residents replied and the responses are summarized as follows:

• 57.6% were satisfied or very satisfied with their respective security companies for their private patrol service.
• 76.92% were satisfied or very satisfied that the security companies met their expectations for alarm monitoring.
• 62.64% were satisfied with repair and installation services provided by their companies.

Furthermore, many of you stated that you are utilizing additional security measures to protect your homes. Keep up the good work.

According to Officer Ragsdale of the LAPD, we are doing “pretty darn good” with regards to crime in our area.

We will be passing along the results of the survey to the various security companies, so that they can address the issues raised by customers who are not satisfied.

5.  SPEED HUMP PROGRAM NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Starting Sept. 22, 8:00 am the L.A. Department of Transportation will begin accepting a new round of applications for its Speed Hump Program. This is the second year in a row that LA will offer this program across the city.

During the 2018 program cycle, LADOT will accept 30 applications from each Council District. For more information about how you can apply for a speed hump in your neighborhood, speed hump guidelines and frequently asked questions, visit ladot.lacity.org/how-do-i/request-speed-humps.

6.  ACTION NEEDED – CELL TOWER BILL

The state legislature has just passed a bill (SB 649) that would strip local jurisdictions of control over placement of cell towers (despite “no” votes by our local elected reps, Assemblymembers Bloom and Ridley-Thomas, and Senator Allen).

This means that the city of LA cannot stop cell companies from locating their towers in any public right of way (even in residential areas, like the grass strip between our sidewalks and streets) or other public property.

SB 649 is opposed by the California Dept. of Finance, the City and County of Los Angeles, Mayor Garcetti, Councilmembers Bonin and Koretz, and the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (WRAC).

PLEASE WRITE GOV. BROWN ASAP to urge him to VETO THIS BILL. Individual constituents and groups are encouraged to write to Gov. Brown ASAP – email via the Gov.’s Legislative Secretary Tom Dyer, tom.dyer@gov.ca.gov, or call 916-445-2841, or fax 916-558-3160.

3.  FOOD TRUCK REGULATION

Good news for neighbors who have expressed growing concern over food trucks causing traffic accidents, reducing driver visibility and creating quality of life issues such as property damage and littering. The Los Angeles City Council is adopting more sensible regulations that escalate fines on food trucks operating in residential areas for extended periods of time.

The new regulations prohibit food trucks from parking at any residential location for a period that exceeds 30 minutes, and also prohibits them from parking within two blocks they had been parked at said residential location within a four-hour period. Further, a food truck moving out of a location momentarily and then returning within the four-hour limitation does not reset the clock; the time and distance requirements still apply. Failure to comply will be treated as separate and distinct offenses and each subsequent violation will be subject to escalating parking penalties of $73 for a first violation, $123 for the second violation, and $173 for the third.

At this time, it is unclear whether Holmby Park is considered at “residential location” (the regulations may only apply to the residential side of the street).  We will let you know when we get more information.

4.  MOVIE PREMIERES – STREET CLOSURES

Warner Bros will be holding the Premiere of “Lego Ninjago”, at 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 16th, 2017 at the Regency Village Theaters, located at 961 Broxton Avenue in Westwood.

There will be various sidewalk and street closures around the area of Broxton Avenue between Weyburn Avenue and Le Conte Avenue.

SEEKING PLUMBER

I am looking for a good plumber who is trustworthy and honest.  If you have a recommendation, please contact tracypenhas@hotmail.com.  Thanks!

CHANDELIER FOR SALE

Beautiful Maria Teressa 16 light crystal chandelier, measures 28 inches wide about the same height.  Cost over $2,000 and is in perfect condition.  This is the real thing, not a cheap knock off from China.

We have no suitable place for it in our new home and would like to find a buyer with whom to negotiate a reasonable price.

Buyer to then donate the agreed price to St Judes Children’s Hospital in exchange for the chandelier.  This would effectively make the purchase tax deductible with the purchase price qualifying as a charitable donation.  This way the chandelier finds a new home, and the charity benefits.

If you have an interest I have photographs available that I can email.

Thank you
