1. REDUCING THE RISKS OF COVID 19
If LA County remains in the High COVID-19 Community Level for two consecutive weeks, universal indoor masking will be implemented on July 29 to help slow the rate of transmission and protect those most vulnerable.
If the county implements universal indoor masking, residents, and workers will need to wear masks in all indoor public spaces, including shared office spaces, manufacturing facilities, retail stores, and at indoor events. Indoor areas of restaurants and bars, children’s programs, and educational settings would need to institute universal masking as well.

3. COYOTE SAFETY TIPS
In order to keep family and pets safe, homeowners in our neighborhood should take safety precautions for potential encounters with coyotes.
The following Safety Tips are from the LA Animal Services website. You can also download a more detailed Coyote Brochure
DETERRENTS & HOME SAFETY
- Trash cans should be securely fastened so wildlife is not invited to feed from them. Ammonia or pepper sprinkled in the trash may also discourage a scavenging coyote.
- Remove pet food dishes when your pet has finished eating and do not leave food outside. Pick ripe fruit and clean rotten produce off the ground.
- Trim hedges and clear brush from under trees and around your home so the coyotes do not have a hiding place.
- Special coyote fencing is available and can be found online.
- Close off crawl spaces under porches, decks and sheds. Coyotes use such areas for resting and raising young.
- Keep your property well lit at night, especially when you go out with your dog for the last potty break before bed.
COYOTE ENCOUNTERS – KEEP CHILDREN & PETS SAFE
- Small animals and children should not be left outside unattended if there are coyotes in your area. Never leave small children and pets unattended outdoors even if your yard is fenced.
- Walk your dog on a leash at all times — not only is it the law, but it will keep your pet safe. Do not allow your dog to interact or “play” with a coyote.
- If you see coyotes, make loud noises and scare them away: bang pots and pans, use a whistle, etc. BUT, they are smart and you cannot keeping making the same noise and expect the coyotes to fall for the same trick over and over.
- When you are walking your dog in areas known to have coyotes, you can carry a loud whistle or even an umbrella that you can open and close rapidly to scare them away. Unlike the approach with an aggressive dog, you can raise your arms above your head and stomp your feet while shouting at the coyote to scare them away.
- Bring cats and dogs inside at night.
- Feeding wildlife is illegal! Do not approach or feed wild animals, including coyotes. It is unsafe and a violation of the law.

7. RESIDENT ADS
HOUSING NEEDED FOR UKRANIAN REFUGEE
Looking for a unit or room for a newly arrived Ukranian refugee. She is 32 years of age, a former ballerina, has a drivers license and car. She is currently living in a hostel but working by cleaning people’s homes. She is clean-cut and very industrious and willing to pay a bit for her lodging. She cannot pay market rates for a unit, so perhaps out of the kindness of your heart, you could barely charge. After leaving the war torn Ukraine, she is looking for a quiet place to put her head and body.
Contact Jackie at 310 948 3630. Thank you.
