January-February 2016
Cityof Brea.net January-February 2016 Brea Envisions launches in 2016 with an invitation for public conversation. In late October, City planners set up an informal gathering space in downtown Birch Street to gather some initial reactions to the upcoming outreach project. Be Inspired…Be Engaged…Be Part of Brea Envisions rea Envisions, an all-inclusive engagement effort, starts a B year-long community dialogue in the New Year. Be part of the conversation and help guide the future of Brea for generations to come. There is no better year to think, discuss, ask and share your ideas. The Envision Committee represents various areas of the community, including youth, seniors, families and businesses, as well as those living in varied geographic areas of the city. Its primary goal is to engage residents and stakeholders in a meaningful discussion about key issues, opportunities, challenges and priorities using a variety of traditional and high-tech methods. Volunteer committee members will work to understand how Brea currently functions and is perceived by residents of varied ages, interests and backgrounds; but most importantly, how it might be positioned for continued success. There are a number of ideas currently on the drawing board, from innovative online tools and surveys, to events, workshops and neighborhood meetings. More details will be available once the Envision Committee re-convenes in January. Be creative…tell us what you love about Brea and why. Post your comments on Brea’s Facebook page or Tweet us using #BreaEnvisions. Email comments to: [email protected]. Be informed…by signing up to receive email or text updates about Brea Envisions.

El Niño Asks; Will You Be Safe or Sorry? not news that we are in an Ithatt’sEl Niño winter. With it, we know rain is coming. But how long 2 t and how strong it hits is still speculation. So, a familiar adage certainly applies — better to be safe than sorry! For protection of public property, the City of Brea has taken many precautionary steps in anticipation. Storm drains and catch basins have been cleared and equipment stocked. The Emergency Operations team also has plans for scenarios such as mudslides, road closures, or power outages. Knowing that in storm surges multiple negative effects often occur simu ltaneously, it will take concentrated efforts for City staff to meet priority needs and remain fully functional. However, good planning always improves the outcome. You too should be prepared for what might happen at your home or business during intense storms. Here are the basics: •Clear gutters and drains of all debris. Remove or secure any loose outdoor items on your property. •Trim back trees to avoid damage from downed branches. Clear landscape brush that might dislodge and block drainage off your property. Apply netting or straw mulch to help secure slopes. •Inspect for leaks, especially on the roof, and make repairs. •Check and refresh emergency kits. Review the family emergency plan. •Have plastic sheeting, sandbags or plywood on hand. These are always in short supply, or even unavailable if you waited too long. It is critical to act responsibility in advance of El Niño or you could find yourself in a messy, uncomfortable situation. Take steps early and feel more confident, not only about storms, but also in case of other emergencies or natural disasters. First responders and public works personnel are not available to assist with damage that occurs on private property. Looking for reliable emergency information? Use these online resources. • cityofbrea.net/preparedness • readyoc.org • weather.gov • ocstormcenter.com • sce.com/outage A note about sandbags: provide aid for Brea residents during rain events, sandbags* are kept Ttenoatfree the City maintenance yard on Berry Street and at fire stations. Up to sandbags can be obtained per address. Prepare to show proof of residency and be aware that supplies may run out. If needed, additional bags should be purchased from local hardware stores. It is highly recommended that these be obtained early if a homeowner is aware of low spots or potential heavy flow areas on their property. *Due to environmental precautions under NPDES, modern sandbags actually contain small gravel rather than actual sand. El Niño Preparations Include Trash Day Adjustments fficials are warning California resiO dents to heed warnings of El Niño and to prepare properties for heavy rains. As you take precautions, also keep these waste-wise tips in mind. •Discard debris, old lawn furniture, dead tree limbs, leaves, excess dirt or other bulky items that could blow or wash away in a storm. B R EA •Keep trash and litter out of streets to prevent storm drains from becoming clogged causing major flooding. Limit use of plastic bags — a worst enemy of storm drains if they blow away! • When there is threat of heavy rain, set trash containers 8 to 10 inches away from the curb to open an area for gushing water to flow through. L I N E • J ANUARY- FEBRUARY • Remove and securely store trash containers promptly after collection. When empty and lightweight they can tend to blow over or wash away. •Reduce chances of containers washing or blowing away by putting them out at 6 a.m. on collection day, rather than the prior night. Do not overload and keep lids securely closed. 2016 Simplify Automated Irrigation in Winter — Shut It Down! G ive your automated sprinkler system a vacation this winter. With Brea’s current “one day is Monday” restriction on watering, it’s time to really simplify outdoor irrigation. Most automated systems are not “smart” so it’s hard to stay on top of weather changes. Therefore, you must frequently do manual overrides for changing weather. Storms can also cause power outages that put automated systems out of sync. When it rains over weekends, or when you travel, you may come home to a violation notice because sprinklers ran when they shouldn’t have operated. To comply with mandatory restrictions, especially prohibitions on watering within 48 hours of rain, simply shut down your automated system. And only if there has been no rain, manually trip your system to run on Brea’s permissible Mondayonly schedule. Please! Control your irrigation controller over the winter months. Your best practice is to react to weekly variables by doing a “manual Monday.” Then shut sprinklers down again. El Niño Does Not End Drought ven after an El Niño pattern ends, the drought in Ety will California will continue. Winter rains in any quantinot equal relief for the ongoing drought which is likely to persist even after flooding might have occurred. California reservoirs are at record lows and cannot be replenished with only one year’s rain. Extreme drought has proven that this state does not have adequate storage and conveyance capacity to retain enough of its natural precipitation. Therefore, conservation practices already adopted remain essential year around. Overall dry conditions have become California’s new normal. To serve a growing population, everyone’s water consumption patterns must continue to be reduced. Please keep up the good work! When Emergencies Occur ity of Brea public information officers provide C timely information for local radio and TV broadcasters during emergency events by issuing media alerts reflecting a current situation. However, there is never a guarantee if or when information may be relayed by reporters. So, here are other options for you to obtain direct updates as they become available. 1.

Remember to ALWAYS lock your vehicle D at home, in the park, or at a shopping center. It is best to take valuables with you; but if you must leave something behind, then secure it out of view, preferably in the trunk. Be sure to do so before you arrive at a destination where you might be observed hiding something. Certain small Items like cellphones, cameras, or sunglasses, which are often left behind on quick stops will tempt thieves to break in. They’re also drawn to purses and laptop computers left in view.

Of property crimes, 52% involve vehicles that are broken into or that were left unlocked. Please don’t add to the count. Always lock your vehicle!

Both received presenta- tions and gave approvals to a proposed plan for improvements on the primary grade playground at Laurel Elementary School, which doubles as Lagos de Moreno Park. Having signed a new joint master agreement in June of 2015, the District and the City have clarified many ways they will collaborate on facility sharing in the future. A guiding principle is balanced use for the community. This is to be expected with such a major expenditure of $1.68 million. BOUSD will contribute $250,000 toward the effort and the City will use several funding B R EA L I N E • sources for the shared space. As detailed plans are developed, City staff will be competing for grant opportunities that might offset some project costs. For Laurel Elementary Playground/Lagos de Moreno Park, the arrangement will be a 35/65% split on future costs of capital repairs or replacements on identified items between the District and the City. This is based on the estimated time playgrounds and sports areas are used by elementary school students as compared to access times available to the general public. There are also certain park features that have been identified at a 100% level of responsibility. For example, the City will handle shade structures and the restroom while the District maintains sports surfaces. This long-anticipated project can now move ahead with construction drawings that will capture all the specifications. These are then submitted for review by the Department of State Architects as required for all school related projects. Work will proceed now that both entities have agreed on the plan. The Brea community has worked and waited over a decade to finally put this project in the spotlight. There is no denying everyone’s steady determination to see it through to opening day.
