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 31, 2016.
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
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.
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 Monday, August 8. Please only send street repair requests, not sidewalks or curbs.
2. HPOZ UPDATE

The PLATO Society is the best known and most prestigious peer learning program in metro Los Angeles. What does that mean? The PLATO Society of Los Angeles is a community of 400 peers who learn actively through study discussion groups rather than passively through lectures, in areas as diverse as history, art, literature, music, economics, current events and a wide array of other topics. Our members are highly intelligent, accomplished professionals and others who are interested in learning, enthusiastic, cultured and engaged with other people. We are curious minds learning from each other in a collegial setting.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM & GARDENER
Dear Neighbors,
I’m looking for someone to analyze our sprinkler system and adjust it accordingly for coverage and duration.
Also, I’m considering changing gardeners. Any rave reviews for someone?
Many thanks,
