Where: Westdrift Manhattan Beach Register: Southbaycities.org/26th- annualgeneralassembly/ SWIMMING POOL MAINTENANCE TIPS Proper pool maintenance protects the environment and the stability of our slopes and canyons. When pool or spa water is drained into our streets or canyons it causes soil saturation, weakened hillsides, or canyon failures. A few simple steps can prevent these risks: • Always drain water from a pool or spa into a tank truck. • Do not drain water into a septic tank system – it overloads and clogs the system. • Never backwash a filter into streets, storm drains or canyons. Stay on top of maintenance and correct any leaks or operational problems as soon as possible. Being vigilant protects our community!

LA COUNTY SHERIFF’S CRIME REPORTS The City’s crime statistics are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD); the city does not generate its own reports. To ensure accuracy, crimes that are still under active investigation may not appear in the City Blue Newsletters, which can result in a delay between when an incident occurs and when it is reflected in published reports. The LASD is committed to the safety of our community and acts swiftly whenever there is an immediate threat. If a crime is not reported, it may still be under investigation or involve an active victim. For questions about a specific incident, residents may contact the Sheriff’s non- emergency line at 310-539-1661. Please note that, for confidentiality reasons, not all details may be disclosed. Residents seeking crime data can visit the Crime Stats Dashboard: https://bit.ly/LASD-CrimeStats (Under the Transparency tab). While the information may be delayed, it is publicly accessible for review. STORMWATER REMINDER Late-season rain can still bring heavy runoff, especially in hillside areas. Take a few minutes this spring to clear gutters and drains to keep stormwater flowing properly and reduce the risk of erosion. Small maintenance steps help protect water quality and support the City’s stormwater compliance efforts.
