ROLLING HILLS CRIMES REPORTED For the time period July 28 — August 10, 2013 No Crimes Reported 111 loll 1101 1 1 1111■ 0 1I 11 111111 Ilallo.lo�. CITY COUNCIL James Black Bea Dieringer Frank E. Hill B. Allen Lay Jeff Pieper Issue No. 13-16 Pesticide Safety Reminder... A& Snails A Sings - Some products used to control snails are poisonous to pets. The active ingredient in many commonly used snail baits is a compound called metaldehyde which is poisonous to pets; and snail bait is formulated in chewable pellets that are flavored with molasses, apple and bran to attract the snails which unfortunately, dogs find a tasty treat as well. In a community where there are no leash laws it is extremely important to remind gardeners and those that care for your property to be extremely careful when applying or storing snail baits. Rodents — Some products used to control rodents may injure or kill wild animals and pets. This happens when predatory and scavenging birds and mammals like owls, hawks, raccoons, foxes, skunks and coyotes eat dead or dying rodents that have consumed these products. Protect both pets and wildlife by reading and following the label directions of any rodent baits used. Non -chemical means of rodent control, such as exclusion and sanitation, should be used when possible to prevent rodenticide exposure to non -target wildlife and pets. Protect your wild neighbors and pets from accidental poisoning. Use all pesticides carefully and follow all label directions, or choose wildlife and pet friendly alternatives.

Legal Matters Greenberg Lawsuit Challenging Rolling )Fulls' "View Impairment Decision Settled The parties to a dispute over restoration of views at I Wagon Lane and 32 Portuguese Bend Road in Rolling Hills have settled their lawsuit, bringing an amicable end to a contentious proceeding that had preoccupied the City since April 2011. The dispute originated with a view complaint filed by the owners of l Wagon Lane, contending that tree growth on 32 Portuguese Bend Road had impaired their view of the ocean and city lights. The City's Committee on Trees and then the City Council struggled with the application for many months due to the difficulty of discerning which among the large number of trees on the property had to be removed or trimmed in order to restore the views. The City Council's October 8, 2012 decision was challenged in Los Angeles Superior Court by the owner of 32 Portuguese Bend Road. Rolling Hills City Manager Anton Dahlerbruch issued the following statement in response to today's ruling: "We are pleased that the parties have found common ground and have worked out their differences by way of a private agreement. The City historically has encouraged property owners to resolve view issues cooperatively and this settlement is a testament to the success of that process." The settlement is memorialized in an agreement that will govern view issues from the Reis property at I Wagon Lane. It provides for immediate remediation of the view impairment and on-going maintenance of the vegetation. The lawsuit against the City and the Reis' will be dismissed. The settlement will be effective only if'the City Council rescinds its October 8, 2012 resolution.
