Coyote Sightings With several reports of coyotes in the community, residents are reminded that there are several measures you can take to coexist with wildlife and minimize the need for trapping of nuisance wildlife on your property. • Feed your pets indoors or promptly remove food dishes when pets have completed their outdoor feeding. • Store bags of pet food indoors in a closed area. • Clear brush, fallen fruit and dense weeds from around your property. • Put trash in containers with tight lids. • Keep pets on a leash or in a pet run. REMEMBER: Do not allow small domestic pets to run at large at any time or allow young children to walk pets alone. Do not run from coyotes or allow your pets to approach them. Treat coyotes as you would any wild animal, do not attempt to capture, feed, or make "friends" with coyotes. Coyotes can be aggressive and extra effort should be taken to keep coyotes off your property especially if you have pets or other small animals. To report a coyote sighting or to receive a coyote control consent form please call City Hall at 310- 377-1521. Check out Rolling Hills on the Web Have you visited the City Web site recently?

With this designation, the community is susceptible to wildfires and it is prudent for homeowners to prepare themselves by implementing various fire fuel reduction and mitigation efforts. After the 2009 fire that struck the City, the City Council directed staff to develop easy and practical public information tools to assist residents to be wildfire ready. These documents were developed by staff working with the Rolling Hills Community Association, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, a wildfire consultant and community -at -large. City Website: There are several documents that are on line within the City's websiteconcerning wildfire reduction and mitigation measures at: www.rolling-hills.orb/index.aspx?nid=78. Included on the Rolling Hills City Website, there are "Fire Safety Guides. and Safety Tips for Living in a Brush Area". The Rolling Hills City Council is working on efforts to improve the City's wildfire safety in the community. There are many good resources on the City's website on how to mitigate various types of fire fuel. Community Wildfire Protection Action Plan: The City is working with the Rolling Hills Community Association, Los Angeles County Fire Department and the residents to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Action Plan (CWPAP). Community Wildfire Protection Action Plans are driven by residents and may address issues such as wildfire response, hazard mitigation, community preparedness or structure protection —or all the above. Wild Tall Dry Grass, Dead Vegetation & Dead Tree Removal Campaign: The City encourages residents to take action. Please inspect your entire property,including the canyons, remove all the wild tall dry grasses from your property since they are the most combustible fuel thatcould ignite a devastating wildfire in the community. Furthermore, dead vegetation and dead trees also pose a real threat as a wildfire fuel and also need to be removed. The drought condition in the State of California has compounded the problem, so make wild tall dry grass, dead vegetation and dead tree removal a priority on your property! We appreciate your cooperation and assistance. bL Lo6 niu,o/'1/V; a1,/rd pnoa/ pua / ac."-Pod wC'JJ// / G"WWI°'»C) C1t, o/KoffL �ti�� etv��etter office: (310) 377-1521 . fax: (310) 377-7288 www.Rolling-Hills.org CITY COUNCIL James Black, M.D. Bea Dieringer Leah Mirsch Jeff Pieper Patrick Wilson CITY MANAGER Raymond R.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY EMERGENCY ALERT In addition, to the City's Emergency Notification System, Los Angeles County also offers an emergency alert system. The County's emergency mass notification system, called Alert LA County, has the capability to use phone, text and e-mail messages to alert residents when there is an emergency situation in their area and advises of needed actions, like evacuations. All landlines are already included in the system, but residents can register their cell phone numbers, Voice over IP phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The Sheriff's Emergency Communications Center uses the system to issue local and regional alerts, drawing the boundaries of the area to be notified on a computer map. Recorded alerts provide information on the nature of the emergency and necessary actions. To sign up for Alert LA County, visit the County's Web site at Alert.lacounty.gov. For questions or to sign up for the City's Emergency Notification System, please visit the City's Web site at www.rolling-hills.org or call City Hall at 310-377-1521. HERE'S THE SCOOP ON ANIMAL WASTE! A common way to get rid of dog waste is to "pitch" it over the fence and into the canyon or other open area. While this may be a convenient alternative, recent issues regarding storm water runoff, make this a less than desirable option. All dog waste should be disposed of with regular household garbage. For horse manure a common practice previously has been to spread it over landscaped or other open areas on a property, but under the current storm water management regulations, this is not allowed. The City's refuse hauler, Republic Services offers two convenient alternatives for manure disposal. If the manure is bagged or in a separate container weighing less than 60 lbs, residents can place it alongside their greenwaste and it will picked up twice a week, on regular pickup days at no additional charge. Republic also offers manure bin service. For information regarding bin service, please contact Republic Services Customer Service at 888-742-5234 IT'S ALMOST TIME TO FALL BACK .(Safe, 3aLt., 9 Just a friendly reminder that the time change is almost here.

Cruz September 6, 2017 Issue No. 17-17 Remove Dead Vegetation The City Council, in November 2015, adopted a Fire Fuel Management Ordinance in order to help manage vegetation related fire fuel in the City. To control fire risk, the Los Angeles County Fire Department requires clearance of certain vegetation within the first 200 feet from structures in order to establish a fire fighting defensible space. However, there are many trees and vegetation that exist beyond the 200 -foot boundary from structures and it is important that residents evaluate the vegetation on the remainder on their properties, including the canyons, and remove any dead vegetation to help keep your neighbors and the entire community safe. Residents may wish to consult with their gardener, an arborist or tree service to assess trees, shrubs and other vegetation for constructive clearance methods to prevent potential soil and slope erosion.

Cruz August 9, 2017 Issue No. 17-15 Beware of Package Theft Due to recent incidents of package theft in Rolling Hills, it is good to be aware that packages that are delivered to your home are vulnerable to theft. The City of Rolling Hills would like to remind residents to take extra care when having packages delivered to their residence. Additionally, do not leave packages on your front porch for pick up by private carriers. If you are sending a package, let the person you are sending it to know that it is coming and when to expect it to arrive so they can make arrangements for pick up. Also, be sure to insure any packages you are sending for the replacement cost of the items shipped. If you are a victim of package theft —report it! If you receive a package with the contents missing or fail to receive a package you were expecting, you may be a victim of package fraud. Contact the sender first to be sure the items were sent properly. If you determine the sender was not at fault, immediately file a report with the LA County Sheriff's Department Lomita Station and US Postal Service Inspection Service or package carrier so it can be investigated accordingly.

Cruz July 19, 2017 Issue No. 17-14 Remove Dead Vegetation The City Council, in November 2015, adopted a Fire Fuel Management Ordinance in order to help manage vegetation related fire fuel in the City. To control fire risk, the Los Angeles County Fire Department requires clearance of certain vegetation within the first 200 feet from structures in order to establish a fire fighting defensible space. However, there are many trees and vegetation that exist beyond the 200 -foot boundary from structures and it is important that residents evaluate the vegetation on the remainder on their properties, including the canyons, and remove any dead vegetation to help keep your neighbors and the entire community safe. Residents may wish to consult with their gardener, an arborist or tree service to assess trees, shrubs and other vegetation for constructive clearance methods to prevent potential soil and slope erosion. Rolling Hills parking reminders The Rolling Hills Traffic Commission would like to remind residents and visitors that there is no overnight parking allowed along any of the city's roadways or in cul-de-sacs. Also, when parking along the roadway during the daytime hours, please be sure that the vehicle does not block equestrian trails, fire hydrants or driveways; and that the vehicle is completely off of the roadway and bridle trail so as not to impede equestrian or vehicle traffic. Summer Mosquito Reminders As summer approaches, it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure a mosquito free summer. Los Angeles County West Vector Control suggests that residents eliminate all sources of standing water, including: ponds, plastic wading pools, animal watering troughs, potted plants and any drainage devices that may hold water. Residents should also ensure that swimming pools, spas, and ponds are kept properly maintained to further eliminate breeding areas.

As a reminder, pedestrians should walk single - file, facing traffic as close to edge of the road as possible. It is also a good idea when walking at night to wear light-colored/reflective clothing. Residents and visitors are also reminded that Rolling Hills roadways are not safe for riding skateboards. The many steep, curving roadways make it difficult for motorist to see pedestrians and individuals on skateboards. Bees! Bees! Bees! The City has received several reports of bee activity recently. Following are a few reminders if you discover a swarm or hive of bees: avoid the area, keep children and pets away from the swarm or colony; notify a professional. If the swarm or colony is outside the home and not involving a structure, contact Los Angeles County West Vector Control at 800-825-3400. If the swarm or hive is inside the home or on a structure, residents should contact a licensed structural pest control company or bee keeping firm.

Cruz July 5, 2017 Issue No. 17-13 Rolling Hilis City Council adopts FY 17/18 municipal budget The City Council, on June 12, 2017, adopted the FY 17/18 municipal budget. The annual LJ budget is the City's resource allocation plan • and serves as the blueprint for what will be accomplished by the City over the upcoming 12 months. Of particular note, this year's budget will fund 50% of the City's CalPERS retirement liability obligation in the amount of $185,000 resulting a FY 2017/18 budget that projects $1,935,250 in General Fund revenues in relation to $2,097,250 in expenses before transfers. If not for funding the retirement liability, the budget would have a surplus of $23,000. The overall financial position of the City's General Fund remains strong with a projected year-end Fund Balance of $4,109,931 on June 30, 2018. The City maintains a very healthy reserve in case of a natural disaster and/or fiscal emergency so government and public services can continue. Also, due to the City's strong financial position, the City covered the residents' COLA increase scheduled for refuse collection for a third year in a row. As mentioned above, the City is also taking a proactive stance in dealing with its unfunded CalPERS pension liability by establishing a trust to fund 50% of it in FY 17/18, and the rest in FY 18/19. The City Council and City staff strive to be great stewards of its fiscal resources while maintaining its outstanding municipal services. City of Rolling Hilis Special Election - A Special Municipal Election was called to be held in the City of Rolling Hills on November 7, 2017 to place the measure that was removed from the ballot when the March election was cancelled on the ballot for consideration in November.

REMEMBER: Do not allow small domestic pets to run at large at any time or allow young children to walk pets alone. Do not run from coyotes or allow your pets to approach them. Treat coyotes as you would any wild animal, do not attempt to capture, feed, or make "friends" with coyotes.

With this designation, the community is susceptible to wildfires and it is prudent for homeowners to prepare themselves by implementing various fire fuel reduction and mitigation efforts. After the 2009 fire that struck the City, the City Council directed staff to develop easy and practical public information tools to assist residents to be wildfire ready. These documents were developed by staff working with the Rolling Hills Community Association, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, a wildfire consultant and community -at -large. . City Website: There are several documents that are on line within the City's website concerning wildfire reduction and mitigation measures at: www.rolling-hills.oru index.aspx?nid=78. Included on the Rolling Hills City Website, there are "Fire Safety Guides. and Safety Tips for Living in a Brush Area". The Rolling Hills City Council is working on efforts to improve the City's wildfire safety in the community. There are many good resources on the City's website on how to mitigate various types of fire fuel. Community Wildfire Protection Action Plan: The City is working with the Rolling Hills Community Association, Los Angeles County Fire Department and the residents to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Action Plan (CWPAP). Community Wildfire Protection Action Plans are driven by residents and may address issues such as wildfire response, hazard mitigation, community preparedness or structure protection —or all the above. Wild Tall Dry Grass, Dead Vegetation & Dead Tree Removal Campaign: The City encourages residents to take action. Please inspect your entire property,including the canyons, remove all the wild tall dry grasses from your property since they are the most combustible fuel that could ignite a devastating wildfire in the community. Furthermore, dead vegetation and dead trees also pose a real threat as a wildfire fuel and also need to be removed. The drought condition in the State of California has compounded the problem, so make wild tall dry grass, dead vegetation and dead tree removal a priority on your property! We appreciate your cooperation and assistance. CITY COUNCIL James Black, M.D. Bea Dieringer Leah Mirsch Jeff Pieper Patrick Wilson CITY MANAGER Raymond R.

HERE'S THE SCOOP ON ANIMAL WASTE! A common way to get rid of dog waste is to "pitch" it over the fence and into the canyon or other open area. While this may be a convenient alternative, recent issues regarding storm water runoff, make this a less than desirable option. All dog waste should be disposed of with regular household garbage. For horse manure a common practice previously has been to spread it over landscaped or other open areas on a property, but under the current storm water management regulations, this is not allowed. The City's refuse hauler, Republic Services offers two convenient alternatives for manure disposal. If the manure is bagged or in a separate container weighing less than 60 lbs, residents can place it alongside their greenwaste and it will picked up twice a week, on regular pickup days at no additional charge. Republic also offers manure bin service. For information regarding bin service, please contact Republic Services Customer Service at 888-742-5234 IT'S ALMOST TIME TO FALL BACK Just a friendly reminder that the time change is almost here. Daylight savings time ends on Sunday, November 5`h at 2:00 a.m. Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night.

Cruz September 6, 2017 Issue No. 17-17 Remove Dead Vegetation The City Council, in November 2015, adopted a Fire Fuel Management Ordinance in order to help manage vegetation related fire fuel in the City. To control fire risk, the Los Angeles County Fire Department requires clearance of certain vegetation within the first 200 feet from structures in order to establish a fire fighting defensible space. However, there are many trees and vegetation that exist beyond the 200 -foot boundary from structures and it is important that residents evaluate the vegetation on the remainder on their properties, including the canyons, and remove any dead vegetation to help keep your neighbors and the entire community safe. Residents may wish to consult with their gardener, an arborist or tree service to assess trees, shrubs and other vegetation for constructive clearance methods to prevent potential soil and slope erosion. Planning Commission Public Hearing: Zoning Code Amendment On June 27, 2017, the Governor signed the Medicinal and Adult -Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act which grants the State the authority to issue licenses for cannabis -related businesses (cultivation, delivery and dispensation) unless doing so would violate any local ordinance prohibiting such businesses.

CITY COUNCIL James Black, M.D. Bea Dieringer Leah Mirsch Jeff Pieper Patrick Wilson CITY MANAGER Raymond R. Cruz July 19, 2017 Issue No. 17-14 Remove Dead Vegetation The City Council, in November 2015, adopted a Fire Fuel Management Ordinance in order to help manage vegetation related fire fuel in the City. To control fire risk, the Los Angeles County Fire Department requires clearance of certain vegetation within the first 200 feet from structures in order to establish a fire fighting defensible space. However, there are many trees and vegetation that exist beyond the 200 -foot boundary from structures and it is important that residents evaluate the vegetation on the remainder on their properties, including the canyons, and remove any dead vegetation to help keep your neighbors and the entire community safe. Residents may wish to consult with their gardener, an arborist or tree service to assess trees, shrubs and other vegetation for constructive clearance methods to prevent potential soil and slope erosion. Rolling Hills parking reminders Ell •I II The Rolling Hills Traffic Commission would like to remind residents and visitors that there is no overnight parking allowed along any of the city's roadways or in cul-de-sacs. Also, when parking along the roadway during the daytime hours, please be sure that the vehicle does not block equestrian trails, fire hydrants or driveways; and that the vehicle is completely off of the roadway and bridle trail so as not to impede equestrian or vehicle traffic. Summer Mosquito Reminders As summer approaches, it is important to take the necessary precautions to ensure a mosquito free summer. Los Angeles County West Vector Control suggests that residents eliminate all sources of standing water, including: ponds, plastic wading pools, animal watering troughs, potted plants and any drainage devices that may hold water. Residents should also ensure that swimming pools, spas, and ponds are kept properly maintained to further eliminate breeding areas.

CITY COUNCIL James Black, M.D. Bea Dieringer Leah Mirsch Jeff Pieper Patrick Wilson CITY MANAGER Raymond R. Cruz July 5, 2017 Issue No. 17-13 Rolling Hills City Council adopts FY 17/18 municipal budget The City Council, on June 12, 2017, adopted the FY 17/18 municipal budget. The annual budget is the City's resource allocation plan and serves as the blueprint for what will be accomplished by the City over the upcoming 12 months. Of particular note, this year's budget will fund 50% of the City's CalPERS retirement liability obligation in the amount of $185,000 resulting a FY 2017/18 budget that projects $1,935,250 in General Fund revenues in relation to $2,097,250 in expenses before transfers. If not for funding the retirement liability, the budget would have a surplus of $23,000. The overall financial position of the City's General Fund remains strong with a projected year-end Fund Balance of $4,109,931 on June 30, 2018. The City maintains a very healthy reserve in case of a natural disaster and/or fiscal emergency so government and public services can continue. Also, due to the City's strong financial position, the City covered the residents' COLA increase scheduled for refuse collection for a third year in a row. As mentioned above, the City is also taking a proactive stance in dealing with its unfunded CalPERS pension liability by establishing a trust to fund 50% of it in FY 17/18, and the rest in FY 18/19. The City Council and City staff strive to be great stewards of its fiscal resources while maintaining its outstanding municipal services.
