TREE CARE AND MAINTENANCE DAY
Saturday, September 14 at 9:00 AM

Please join the Green Team and TreePeople on Saturday, September 14 for a Community Tree Care event. We will focus on the 26 trees that were planted on Malcolm and Manning Avenues earlier this year. This event is a follow-up to the work that Green Team members undertook in August to assess the newly planted trees for their tree care needs. TreePeople will provide the instruction, supervision and tools for us to properly prune, mulch, water, adjust tree stakes and ties and rebuild tree berms. This work is essential to the health and life of our new trees.

We will meet at 9:00 am at 801 Malcolm Avenue. Come prepared with your own water, a hat, work gloves and sun protection. This is a good chance to meet some neighbors, learn about proper tree care and maintenance and help our new, young trees thrive. It will be fun! No experience needed. Hope to see you there.

6. MAYOR’S YOUTH COUNCIL

The application for the 2019-2020 Mayor’s Youth Council is now available online. You can find it here.

What is the Mayor’s Youth Council?
The Mayor’s Youth Council is a dynamic one-year program that gives Los Angeles high school students a voice in City Hall. The Council empowers its members with tools, policy knowledge, and leadership training vital to advocating for causes relevant to the youth of our city. Find more information on the attached flyer.

Who should apply to the Council?
All student leaders currently enrolled in a Los Angeles high school are invited to apply! The Council will meet in cohorts based on geographic area.

What is the commitment?
Members of the Mayor’s Youth Council will attend monthly workshops facilitated by their Area Representative in the Mayor’s Office and may take on additional projects outside the monthly meetings.

If you know any motivated high school students in Los Angeles who would be great candidates for the Mayor’s Youth Council, please pass along this message! The application deadline is September 19, 2019.

7. STREET LIGHT OUTAGES – HOW TO REPORT

If streetlights are out in your area, please report ASAP to the city. Dark streets are both a security and a safety issue – on the security side, burglars and other bad guys can move around more easily; and on the safety side, pedestrian accidents are more likely. If streetlights are out on your block, please keep your outdoor house lights on all night until the streetlights are repaired.

There are a few ways to report, and they are all easy!

Online:
Bureau of Street Lighting — http://bsl.lacity.org/residents.html

This Tuesday, August 20th is the first day of school for LAUSD.

2. LAPD CRIME REPORT

BURGLARY FROM VEHICLE
Incident #: 190814109
HOLMBY & WILSHIRE | 8/12/2019 @ 10:00 PM

PREVENT RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES
It is important to remain vigilant and not become complacent when it comes to securing and safeguarding our homes, automobiles, and persons.

Immediate Detection, Notification, and Verification Technology is critical in determining when a crime is occurring or about to occur. An alarm alone is no longer sufficient. There must be a secondary immediate means of notification and verification to support whether or not the alarm is valid or false.

Web based surveillance and doorbell camera systems will alert and allow homeowners to immediately view and monitor activity from any smartphone or computer which are motion sensor activated and will alert your device when there is activity. They will also lend valuable information and clues to the investigation.

3. HWPOA GREEN TEAM UPDATE

Summer is here and the Green Team is hard at work. Team members on Dalehurst Avenue are beginning to canvas neighbors on the 300, 400 and 500 blocks of the street about replacing missing parkway trees. Working closely with an arborist and TreePeople, Green Team members analyzed the number of missing trees, the current street tree species and the City’s Approved Parkway Tree list. The Canary Island Pine was selected to fill in where trees are missing since it meets the City requirements, is disease resistant and drought tolerant and maintains the street’s existing pine character. Dalehurst has been identified as a “Dream Street” since close to 30 new trees can be planted. Introductory letters have been distributed to residents and the Green Team will begin knocking on doors for owner’s permission to plant and care for new trees, and to answer homeowner questions.

Green Team members also will be out this weekend assessing the care and maintenance needs of the 26 new trees that were planted on Malcolm and Manning Avenues earlier in the year. Subsequent to this assessment, a Tree Care and Maintenance Day will be held in early September with TreePeople to address the identified tree maintenance needs.

For information on the Dalehurst planting, contact Juliana Bancroft: julianabancroft10@gmail.com.

To learn about the Green Team, contact Marnie Bodek: mossbodek@msn.com

Bel Air Road Closure notice

3. SUNSET BLVD. REPAVING REQUESTS – UPDATE

HWPOA has received numerous requests for the city to repave a portion of Sunset Blvd. – specifically, the eastbound lanes between Stone Canyon and Hilgard. The right lane has been severely uneven for several years.

We contacted the city to get an update on this request, which we have submitted numerous times over the last few years. Unfortunately, the response we received was that this area will not be repaved any time soon. The area will not be repaved until after LADWP completes the Sunset Blvd. project currently under construction, which is expected to last for another year.

Representatives for Councilmember Koretz know that this is a priority project and will follow up with a timeline as soon as they have more information.

4. COMMUNITY SURVEY – ALCOHOL IN WESTWOOD & UCLA

The Westside Impact Project aims to reduce the occurrence of underage and binge drinking in West LA. The Project’s ultimate goal is to promote healthier, safer communities by reducing a range of harms associated with alcohol, including drunk driving, alcohol-involved crashes, violence, crime, and public nuisance issues such as littering, loitering, and vandalism.

Westwood community members are invited to complete the following survey, which was developed by the Westside Impact Project and will be used to inform interventions intended to reduce alcohol-related harms within Westwood and at UCLA.

1. STREET REPAIR REQUESTS

The Bureau of Street Services has scheduled a Small Asphalt Repairs (SAR) truck (which is described as 1 small asphalt repair truck, consisting of 2 workers and asphalt), for the Westwood Neighborhood Council area, to perform small asphalt repairs on August 26, 2019.

The Westwood Neighborhood Council has asked us to submit suggested locations in our neighborhood for small street repairs. The city will only send the SAR truck to a total of 15 locations in the entire Westwood Neighborhood Council area, so Holmby Westwood will only see a handful of repairs.

The type of repairs that can be addressed with this program include the following:
– Potholes and pop outs
– Skin patching of eroded or cracked areas
– Some repairs on concrete streets

If you are aware of any spots in our neighborhood that would be particularly good candidates for this program, please send requests to Dana at hwpoa@aol.com no later than Wednesday, August 7. Please only send street repair requests, not sidewalks or curbs.

Through the Community Police Academy, enrolled students will be encouraged to volunteer at their local police station and build a lasting partnership with the Department. Doing so will greatly contribute to our ultimate goal of reducing crime and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods.

Each community member must meet the following criteria:

Must be 18 years or older
Live or work in Operations-West Bureau
No prior felony convictions
No outstanding warrants
No pending criminal cases
Must be approved by an Area Commanding Officer
