Proposed Amendments to the City's
Aggressive Dog Ordinance
In April of 2014, the City Council established an Ad Hoc
Committee to determine what amendments to the existing
aggressive dog ordinance should be proposed. The objective
of the Ad Hoc Committee was to establish an ordinance that
would balance the community's desire to allow well
behaved dogs to roam the community without a leash, but
expand the scope of the ordinance to provide a means for
investigation of complaints regarding dogs and other
animals exhibiting aggressive behavior before a bite or
attack occurs. Working with City staff, Los Angeles County
i Department of Animal Care and Control officials and the
City Attorney, the Ad Hoc Committee has developed
j amendments to the Aggressive Dog Ordinance for the City
Council's consideration. To view the proposed Ordinance,
please visit our Web site at www.rolling-hills.org.
Residents are welcome to come to the November 10City
Council meeting to provide their opinions on the second
1 reading of the Ordinance. The meeting will begin at 7:30
p.m. in the Council Chamber at Rolling Hills City Hall, 2
Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills.

burglary occurred on Crest Road East where the resident
that was home came across a. burglar eating in her kitchen.
A highly dangerous sitWdotr had a fortunate ending
because the resident immediately called 911, locked
herself in a secure roorn and the responding Sheriffs

Attorney has filed a felony burglary charge on the
individual. Unfortunately, it appears thtkt after analyzing
the physical evidence, the burglar arrested is not linked to

Reminder: Don't Feed the Animals
e. As most residents and visitors know, there is
aNW no shortage of animals in our beautiful City.
Whether it's a neighbor's dog or cat corning
for a visit; a horse in the conal next door or a variety of
other wildlife including raccoons, opossums, coyotes or
squirrels; there are animals everywhere.
It is very important not to feed any of these animals.
Feeding wild animals may make them sick or even change
their behavior making them more aggressive towards
humans and domestir, animals. And, with regard to other
people's pets, many cats, dogs and horses are on special
diets and although it is a nice gesture, doing so may cause
health issues.
June Sheriff's Dept. Activity

SherifPs Dept. calls for service was 21. The total

Fire Season is Upon Us...
Clear Dead Trees to Reduce the Fire Danger on
your Property
4WIt is important to clear your property beyond
�. the Fire Department's requirement of 200 feet
_from any structure to reduce the fire danger on
` your property, including in the canyons. Do
you have dead trees or overgrown dry brush
on your property, including in the canyons? If so, they
should be removed for your benefit and the benefit of
others. Dead and dry vegetation are fuel for a fire,
susceptible to sparks and embers and ripe for ignition.
With current drought conditions, now is the time to act.
Diseased trees could infect and ultimately destroy other
trees., take great care when removing them. In addition,
removing vegetation from canyons requires careful
observation of the soil condition, and consideration of
proximity to a natural drainage course or a blue line
stream. Please consult an arborist or tree service company
to assess your property for removal of trees and brush.
Reminder: Don't Feed the Animals
6 As most residents and visitors know, there is
r, no shortage of animals in our beautiful City.
Whether it's a neighbor's dog or cat coming
for a visit; a horse in the corral next door or a variety of
other wildlife including raccoons, opossums, coyotes or
squirrels; there are animals everywhere.
It is very important not to feed any of these animals.
Feeding wild animals may make them sick or even change
their behavior making them more aggressive towards
humans and domestic animals. And, with regard to other
people's pets, many cats, dogs and horses are on special
diets and although it is a nice gesture, doing so may cause
health issues.
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 use insect
repellants, or remain indoors in the early morning and
evening hours. Residents should also make sure that doors
and windows have tight -fitting screens to keep mosquitoes
out; eliminate all sources of standing water, including:
ornamental ponds, plastic wading pools, animal watering
troughs, potted plants; and ensure that swimming pools,
spas, and ponds are properly maintained.

Rolling Hills in conjunction with its Block Captain
volunteers will be hosting a Block Captain Block Party.
The Block Party will have tasty food, a variety of drinks,
fantastic entertainment and special door prizes. This
community event will be a fun party that will also promote
the emergency preparedness and crime prevention
activities associated with being a. Block Captain. It is
hoped that event will recruit more Block Captains,

critical supplies that should be placed in it. Come out and
meet your neighbors and plan to have a fun!
Typhus Fever on flthe PV Peninsula
According to the Los Angeles County Department of
Public Health (DPH), there has been an emergence of
Typhus Fever on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in
r'. the past year. This disease is typically
transmitted to humans from fleas on Norway
rats, opossums and feral cats. The symptoms of
Typhus Fever are similar to that of a severe flu,
but the disease is readily treatable with the appropriate
antibiotic therapy. A resident reported to City Hall that she
was recently released from the hospital after being exposed
to flea -borne Typhus Fever. DPH has not received report
of any confirmed cases in residents of Rolling Hills
specifically, but because there are documented cases on the
Peninsula, it is likely that the risk of Typhus Fever is
already present in the City or will emerge soon, because
there are populations of opossums and feral cats in Rolling
Hills. For more information about Typhus Fever including
causes, symptoms, treatment and preventative measures
that can be taken, visit the LA County DPH website at
www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/VectorMurine.htm.

Update on Recent Burglaries
Over the last two weeks, the community has had
y three burglaries on Ringbit Road East, Packsaddle
Road West and Crest Road West. The City,
working with the Sheriff's Department is
diligently looking for ways to solve these crimes and
prosecute the culprit(s). You may have already noticed a
greater presence of Sheriff patrol and white Sheriff sedans
driving around the community that are part of the "Volunteers
on Patrol" program. These trained volunteers patrol
neighborhoods looking for suspicious individuals or activity
and will make contact with Sheriff patrol cars for an
immediate response if they spot a concern. All the Block
Captains in the zones where the burglaries occurred were
immediately notified so they can contact their neighbors and
be on high alert for any suspicious individuals.
The Sheriff's Department is also working on other special
operations options to be deployed in the City in order to help
solve these crimes more quickly. The culprit(s) of these
burglaries are looking for unalarmed homes where they know
the residents are gone. if you are planning to go on vacation,
please contact the Lomita Sheriff Station at (310) 539-1661 in
order for your home to receive daily vacation patrol checks
while your family is gone. Finally, go to the Lomita Sheriff
Station wcb site at www.lomita.lasd.org to get burglary
prevention tips.
Help Reduce the Risk of Fire
The recent fres in nearby communities should
serve as a reminder of the importance of proper
brush clearance around the structures on your
property. Los Angeles County Fire Dept. recently
began conducting their annual brush clearance
inspections but it's a good idea to get the clearance done
before the deadline. Also, be sure that workers on your
property do not smoke while they are working; and when
weed or tree trimming equipment is being used, be sure
there is a fire extinguisher present to put out any fires that
may be accidentally ignited.
Wildlife management and coexistence
Q0 With several reports of coyotes and other
�wildlife 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.
Due to a recent change in the County's protocol in
providing coyote control, services will only be provided
when coyotes kill a pet or show aggressive behavior
aromid humans. However, it is still important to report
coyote sightings to the City. To report a coyote sighting, to
receive a coyote control consent form or for information
on private firms, please call City Hall at 310-377-1521.

attention of the Rolling Hills City Council last fall after
a dog attack incident_ The City of Rolling Hills has
historically not had a leash law and has dealt with dog
attacks very effectively through an investigative animal
control enforcement process. The City Council wants
to receive more public input to this very important
community issue and is planning to discuss it during an
agenda item at its April 28, 2014 City Council meeting.
At this meeting, staff will provide data that will
indicate the number of dog related incidents that have
occurred in Rolling Hills, highlight what similar
communities do with such incidents, and outline
potential options. The City Council hopes to see you

WARNING: Rattlesnake Reminder
With the recent Spring like weather,
tresidents may see rattlesnake activity
:1 slightly earlier this year than in previous
years. Remember to use caution when moving things
around in the yard or in garages, as snakes like to hide in
dark places. Snakes are fascinating creatures, but
remember to keep your distance.
Keep the canyons titter and manure free
I Is your property adjacent to a canyon? Do you
t i hike or walk in the canyons? Your answer is
1 probably yes to one or both of those questions.
t a. -, Did you know the canyons serve as natural
waterways during storms and rains. It is very important to
keep debris, excess green waste, manure and trash out of
them. Such items not only block the waterway, they may
also result in the unintentional transporting of the waste to
the ocean where they pollute. Moreover, the City could be
cited for pollutants that enter the storm water system.
Another way to help keep the canyons litter free is to be
conscious not to litter and to pick up any litter you may see
along a roadway or on a trail. A little extra effort helps the
Community and the waterways.

Keep Rolling Hills canyons litter,
debris and manure free
Is your property adjacent to a canyon? Do you
111,01
hike or walk in the canyons? Your answer is
probably yes to one or both of those questions.
Did you know the canyons serve as natural
waterways during storms and rains. It is very important to
keep debris, excess green waste, manure and trash out of
them. Such items not only block the waterway, they may
also result in the unintentional transporting of the waste to
the ocean where they pollute. Moreover, the City could be
cited for pollutants that enter the storm water system.
Please refrain from depositing items in canyons and if you
see an item that doesn't belong in the canyon dispose of it
properly. Another way to help keep the canyons litter free
is to be conscious not to litter aad to pick up any litter you
may see along a roadway or on a trail. A little extra effort
helps the Community.
The amended Storin Water and Pollution Control
Ordinance also has very strict regulations regarding
littering and disposal of landscape debris and manure. For
example:
Littering. No person shall intentionally throw, deposit,
place, leave, maintains, beep or permit to be thrown,
deposited, placed, left or maintained or kept, awry refuse,
rubbish, garbage, or any other discarded or abandoned
cltjects, articles or accumulations, on or upon any
roadway, driveway, trail, canyon, storm drain, inlet, catch
basin conduit or drainage structure, or upon any private
plot of land in the City, so that the same might be or
become a pollutant. No person shall throw or deposit .litter
in any fountain, pond, stream or other body of water within
the City.
Disposal of Landscape Debris and Manure. It is
prohibited to intentionally dispose of leaves, dirt, other
landscape debris or manure i rsto the s.oran .:;Ja.4er system or
into natural drainage courses.
Wildlife management and coexistence
�0i With several reports of coyotes and other
so wildlife in the community, residents are
reminded that there are several measures you
eras lake 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 propC113'.
• Put trash in containers with tight lids.
Keep pets on a leash or in a pet run.
It is important to remember that 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, to receive a Los Angeles
County coyote control consent form or for information on
private firms, please call City Hall at 310-377-1521.

Storm Water Management Update
In order to comply with the Federal Clean
jmv Water Act, the Los Angeles County
Regional Water Quality Control Board
adopted new requirements pertaining to pollutant
discharges into storm drain systems. In June, the City of
Rolling Hills amended its Storm Water and .Pollution
Control ordinance to comply with the new regulations. The
regulations include stricter controls of construction
activities and apply to all projects in the City, regardless of
size. Construction activities for larger developments must
include design elements to contain as much water on the
site as possible by introducing Low impact Development
devices for retention or filtration of storm water runoff.
Examples of such construction include permeable pavers,
rain barrels and cisterns, tree box filters, dry ponds,
infiltration trenches and others.
To learn more about the new requirements please visit the
City's website at www.Rolling-Hills.org. The complete
Ordinance can be found on the Municipal Code page,
under the government tab.
