BPCityNewsBuenaPark BuenaPark 31st Annual Buena Park Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast Community leader and scientific analyst Captain Joshua J. Jewett will be the keynote speaker at the 31st annual Buena Park Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Nov.19. Veteran broadcast personality and Buena Park’s “Honorary Mayor” Ed Arnold returns as Master of Ceremonies for the event that also features non-denominational services and a musical program. Always a sell-out, the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast will be held at the Knott’s Berry Farm Resort Hotel, 7675 Crescent Avenue, beginning at 7 a.m. The cost is $10 per person and $100 for a table of 10. Tickets will be available beginning Oct. 1 at the Ehlers Recreation Center, 8150 Knott Avenue. Tickets will not be sold at the door. Inspire A native Southern Californian, Jewett is an inspired, dedicated, accomplished person who has achieved much in his short lifetime, including completing the “Ironman Distance Triathlon,” raising more than $10,500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of his late father, James Jewett. Born in Whittier with a deformed leg, there was a possibility he would never walk. However, several years ago, he decided he wanted “to do something incredible, unimaginable in honor of my father. I needed to find something that would leave a mark on my life and those close to me. So I signed up for the ‘Ironman’ and to raise money for cancer research,” Jewett says. “I can admit that I officially lost my marbles that day. I was working full-time, going to grad school at night and on the weekends and working on my thesis project,” he continues. “At first I had a difficult time juggling everything as I missed most of our team practices due to my schedule. In time, I figured it out. I spent four weeks in South America and Dubai for school and vacation during which I had the extreme pleasure of training on the beach, in the mountains and desert.” Jewett spent his youth in Orange County, graduating from La Habra High School in 2001 where he was Valedictorian and a “John Wooden Scholar Athlete.” He then attended the United States Air Force Academy serving in various leadership roles and earning the distinction of three-time “NCAA Academic All-American.” In 2005, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the U.S. Air Force Academy. Commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, he was assigned to the Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, CA, where he excelled as a scientist and program manager working on the country’s latest premier missile warning satellites. 1 Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast Keynote speaker Captain Joshua J. Jewett Currently, he is a scientific analyst assigned to the Space and Missile Systems Center’s Infrared Systems Space Wing (ISSW) as a program manager, System Integration and Test. He also attended the UCLA Anderson School of Management during this time and this year received a Masters Degree in Business Administration. A passionate community leader, Jewett currently serves as president of the Los Angeles Company Grade Officer Council and as a member of the USAF Academy Nomination Advisory Board for the 40th Congressional District. Selected by the L. A. Chamber of Commerce and the Southern California Leadership Network as a “Leadership Los Angeles Fellow” for the Class of 2009, he also finds time to mentor students at college and career days and to organize the fitness program for his 80-member unit. The Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast is sponsored by the Citizen’s Committee and Milly, Frances and Steve Knott.

BuenaPark BuenaParkCityNewsBP City Council Passes Water Conservation Ordinance Updated Water Conservation Program outlines usage requirements for residents and City establishments Living in Southern California definitely has its benefits – temperate climate, vast recreational opportunities, and the ocean, desert, and mountains all within a short drive. One of the few drawbacks is the state’s serious and continual state of drought which doesn’t go away, even when it rains. California is a semi-arid region, which means it is largely dependent on imported water supplies and will always be susceptible to water shortages and regulation. In efforts to address the current shortage, and at the request of Southern California’s main water importer, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), the City has enacted a newly revised Water Conservation Program. As of July 14, 2009, the City began enforcing Program requirements for all those who live and work in Buena Park. “The City’s Conservation Program is essential,” said Public Works Associate Engineer Joan Lyle. “We all need to cut back because our imported water supplies may not always be available. The City’s Conservation Program is designed to raise awareness of the State’s severe water shortage so that we all change our attitudes on how we use water.” To help ensure it maintains a reliable water supply, the City is enforcing the following water conservation requirements: • New limits on lawn irrigation include watering your lawn or landscape areas for no more than 15 minutes each cycle between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. • No excessive water flow or runoff onto sidewalks, driveways, or gutters is allowed • No washing down hard or paved surfaces with a water hose • All water leaks, breaks or malfunctions must be repaired • Re-circulating water is required for water fountains and decorative water features • Vehicle washing must be conducted with a bucket or hand-held hose equipped with a self-closing water shut-off device Residents may also notice that drinking water in eating or drinking establishments will be served only upon request. Additional requirements apply to business establishments in the City. More information on the above requirements, including all exceptions, can be found in the City’s Water Conservation Program located at www.buenapark.com, or by calling Joan Lyle at (714) 562-3672. In fact, according to Lyle, we now have limits on the amount of water we can purchase from our main sources, the Colorado River and the Sacramento River Delta. The Colorado River Watershed, from which Buena Park currently receives most of its imported water, is experiencing its own drought conditions. In California, ongoing drought conditions and decreased snow pack have created some of the lowest river and reservoir water levels in history. A growing population, climate, environmental concerns, and other factors in parts of the Western United States make the region highly susceptible to water supply reliability issues. There is also a regulatory shortage due to environmental judgments in the Delta. Got a cute pet? BPTV Channel 3 is looking for photos of Buena Park “resident pets” for an upcoming television show.

[email protected] 2 BPCityNewsBuenaPark BuenaPark Entire Beach Boulevard Overcrossing Re-Opens in Late September After almost 19 months of construction, motorists will be happy to know that work on the new Beach Boulevard overcrossing is nearing completion. Even though the overcrossing remained open during most of the reconstruction activities due to a unique method of rebuilding the bridge in halves, traffic has been limited to two lanes in each direction. As the west half of the bridge was rebuilt from March 2008 until January 2009, motorists were able to drive on the old east half of the bridge. Once the west half was complete, traffic was switched over to the new side so the old east half the bridge could be demolished and rebuilt. Beach Boulevard will fully reopen with three lanes in each direction by the end of September. Construction Continues on I-5 Gateway Project Reconstruction of the Beach Boulevard bridge is expected to OCTA be completed by fall 2009. Construction activities are currently focused on completing the southbound I-5 Artesia intersection, building retaining walls along the sides of the freeway, and pouring new concrete lanes for the freeway mainline. The entire project is scheduled to be finished by Summer 2010. Fall 2009 closure information: • Southbound I-5 Artesia Blvd. off-ramp to close August 19 for two weeks • Southbound I-5 to eastbound SR-91 HOV/carpool lanes connector closed in May for seven months and is scheduled to reopen in late 2009 • Northbound I-5 Orangethorpe Ave. on-ramp closed in late July for four months and is scheduled to reopen in November 2009 • Southbound I-5 Beach Blvd. on-ramp will be closed through Fall 2009 • Nighttime northbound and southbound I-5 full closures from the SR-91 to Artesia Blvd will continue through mid-2010. • Nighttime full closures of Beach Blvd. and Artesia Blvd. will continue through the end of 2009 For more information, please contact Julie Toledo, Community Liaison at (714) 223-1665, visit www.octa.net/i5gateway, or call the Transportation Helpline at (800) 724-0353.

To accomplish this, the City is updating its General Plan, a process that takes place in four phases over a period of approximately 18 months. Once the update is complete, the new Plan will act as the City’s official blueprint for long-range planning and development on issues such as transportation, public services, and parks. The General Plan was initially created in 1994, and is currently being updated, as required by the State of California. First, city staff sought to take stock of existing conditions in the City, and to arrive at a community-based vision of Buena Park’s future. With the help of the community, all those involved in the process – City Council, Planning Commission, City Staff, and RBF Consulting – worked together to create a new vision that will guide the City’s development over the next few decades. Working with RBF, the City recently completed Phase 1 of the update and is now in Phase 2. The next objective is to create a Draft General Plan. In order to accomplish this, RBF collected and analyzed background data from the City to prepare an Existing Conditions Report that documents the current status of the City. RBF and City staff are developing future land use scenarios, which will be available for review and comment at a Land Use Futures Workshop tentatively scheduled for late October. Once formalized, the land use scenarios will be presented to the City Council and the Planning Commission for confirmation, resulting in development of a Draft General Plan featuring the preferred land use map, goals, and policies. The update process also includes preparation of the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) which analyzes the environmental impacts associated with the Updated General Plan. The update process concludes with a public hearing in order to adopt the General Plan and PEIR documents. For more information, contact Michael Ressler at (714) 562-3616, or visit www. buenapark.com.

BuenaPark BuenaParkCityNewsBP Entertainment Zone Action Plan Begins to Take Shape Enhancing local major attractions is part of the City’s big plan to create a popular destination district The City’s plan to transform the entertainment corridor into one of the most vibrant and resourceful tourist attractions in Southern California is well underway. Following established goals and objectives outlined in the Entertainment Zone Action Plan, the Buena Park Redevelopment Agency recently contracted with several outside specialists in the areas of parking, streetscape, and branding to assist with the Plan’s implementation. Adopted in 2008, the Entertainment Zone Action Plan acts as a guide for long-term development of additional attractions, hotels, restaurants, and parking solutions for the entertainment corridor located along Beach Boulevard and surrounding areas. Powerful branding and marketing strategies are also on the agenda to ensure the redeveloped area becomes a regional, pedestrianfriendly destination. The Zone features Knott’s Berry Farm, Soak City Water Park, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament, Pirate’s Dinner Adventure, Krikorian 18-screen theatre, 15 hotels, and 25 restaurants. Currently, the Zone attracts approximately 6.4 million visitors per year. Once the Plan is complete, the Agency believes it may attract up to 10.7 million visitors per year. The Buena Park Redevelopment Agency, along with several specialized contractors, will focus on the following projects over the next seven to nine months to help take the Zone to the next level: • Develop a Parking Demand and Vehicular Circulation Study to determine parking needs and locations within the Zone. • Create an Entertainment Zone Public Amenity Master Plan and Streetscape Design to unify the District with destination elements such as enhanced landscaping, transit stops, iconic gateways, kiosks, pedestrian overpasses, and public spaces. • Implement a Branding and Identification Study yielding a compelling brand and identity making it an integral player in the competitive entertainment marketplace. Three new consultants – International Parking Design, EDAW, and Agency 51 – are now important members of the overall Entertainment Zone Action Plan Team which also includes City staff from Economic Development, Community Development and Public Works, as well as Idletime Network. Future improvements include more hospitality options and a Buena Park Mall update. The Entertainment Zone planning process is expected to be completed in 2010.
