Construction to Begin on the Modern Town House Community
Construction of the proposed townhome community “The Goldwyn” is scheduled to begin in late fall in South El
Monte by Warmington Residential Company. The proposed residential development will construct 116 new houses
located at the former Golfland site on Durfee Avenue just west of the South El Monte High School. The Townhome
development will provide a welcome alternative style of living by creating three-story houses with landscaped Paseo
and common open space areas to a site that has been vacant for the past several years. The proposed project is well
designed, representing a quality residential development that will promote ownership opportunities and aids with the
City’s strategic long-term objectives to address current and future housing needs of the community.
The stylish town house neighborhood of 116 three-level homes within a gated setting will feature a community
park with play area, barbecues, walking trail and gardens. Three floor plans will offer approximately 1,702 to 1,862
square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms, three and one half bathrooms, and 2-space direct access garages. Prices have not
yet been announced but are anticipated to begin from the high $300,000’s.
Due to its convenient location in South El Monte, which is approximately 12 miles east of downtown Los Angeles,
and excellent access to local freeways for commuters travel in all directions, including the San Bernardino Freeway
(10), Pomona Freeway (60), and the San Gabriel River Freeway (605), The Goldwyn is expected to have broad
appeal. Locals who want to buy a new home or commuters who are looking to gain added proximity to Los Angeles
and its surrounding commerce centers will appreciate having this new and exciting home ownership option.
The Goldwyn is slated to open for sales in spring of 2014. Warmington Residential is inviting interested parties
to visit HomesByWarmington.com to join a community interest list. Those on the list will receive regular updates by
email containing important information.

Host Neighborhood Watch
and Safety Meetings
As part of efforts to make South El Monte safer
and strengthen partnerships with residents, the City
of South El Monte and the Sheriff’s Department
have hosted a series of Neighborhood Watch and
Safety Meetings throughout the community this
year.
The meetings are overseen by Sheriff’s
Department personnel assigned to South El Monte,
which include Special Assignment Sergeant Jim
Dexter, Special Assignment Deputy Julian Ayon and
School Resource Deputy Ricardo Cantano, who provide crime prevention and safety information that
help residents stay safe and offer tools and resources
needed to implement Neighborhood Watch programs. It’s a collaborative and proactive initiative to
curb crime and empower residents to take an active
role in their neighborhood’s safety. “South El Monte
residents are the eyes and ears of their neighborhood,” said one city official. “Their participation and partnership with law enforcement and the City is vital to keeping our community
safe.”
“The partnership between the residents of South El Monte and the Sheriff’s Department is critical when addressing crime trends in the
community. We are working together to identify problem areas and to educate the residents on the types of crimes to be aware of,” said
Sergeant Jim Dexter.
Neighborhood Watch programs encourage residents to be vigilant, take note of unusual or suspicious activity and to report it to the
Sheriff’s Temple Station at (626)285-7171. Neighborhood Watch is by no means a vigilante type organization. The confrontation of suspicious persons or the apprehension of criminals should be left to the deputies from the Sheriff’s Department.
In case of an emergency, please call “911.”
Community members, who are interested in hosting a Neighborhood Watch and Safety Meeting in their neighborhood, please contact
Special Assignment Deputy Julian Ayon at (626)285-7171 or via email at [email protected].

Are you ready for the rain?
Building Permits
The rainy season in California typically starts from late October
through March, bringing the majority of the yearly rainfall to the
region. During the winter rainy season, not only Californians
face the risk of flooding and mudflows that can damage homes
and businesses, but waterways and beaches might be polluted due
to stormwater pollution.
During months of dry weather, various of pollutants have been accumulated in the gutters or on the streets. Among them are cigarette butts,
dog wastes, food wrappers, and oil stains from leaky cars. Once the first
rain hits the ground, not only all the pollutants get washed away to nearby gutters and eventually to rivers, creeks and the ocean endangering marine and people's health, it also creates the chance of storm
drain overflow.
Building permits are required
for all new construction, repairs,
additions, and alterations to existing construction. Property owners
should always first review their
building requirements with City
Planning staff before commencing
a project. The cost of building permits depends on the nature and
scope of the work being done.
A building permit ensures that
specific construction standards are
in compliance with City Municipal
Code, LA County Code, and California State Building Codes. These standards are intended to protect the integrity of the buildings and the welfare of the community.
Once a permit has been issued, the City’s Building Inspector will inspect the work for
compliance.
Failure to obtain a permit when required by law will result in fines, penalties and even
demolition of unauthorized construction. Fines will be given for each violation.
Below is a list of recommended measures you may follow to ensure a safer and cleaner winter:
• Check your sprinkler system and fix broken ones as necessary. Turn the sprinkler off when
it rains, or install a rain sensor that will shut off your sprinkler system automatically.
• Do not apply pesticides or any chemical to lawns and gardens before watering or
predicted rainstorms.
• Clean out leaves from roof and gutters so they don't clog the drain. Make sure you clean
the outdoor area with a broom, not a hose.
• Recycle unwanted or old hazardous products, such as used motor oil, filters, paint, paint
thinner, pesticides, pool chemicals, used Sharps and unwanted or expired prescriptions at
a Household Hazardous Waste Roundup Event hosted by the Los Angeles County. For
more information on upcoming Household Hazardous Waste Round events near you or to
visit one of the free permanent collection centers call 1 (888) CLEAN LA or
visit www.888cleanla.com.
• Recycle your used motor oil and filters at the following certified centers in the City of

*Please note that it is advisable to call before taking oil to any of the listed centers.
• Keep your vehicles in good condition and prevent leaks. Fluids dripped or spilled onto
streets will be washed into the storm drain system, which in turn, drains to the ocean.
• Get your money back by recycling your beverage containers You pay CRV (California Redemption Value) when you purchase beverages from a
retailer, which is refunded when you redeem the containers at a recycling center. You get 5
cents back for each beverage container less than 24 ounces and 10 cents for each container
24 ounces or greater. Below is a list of the recycling centers in the city:

American Cancer Society Relay For Life Looking for Local Sponsors
The American Cancer Society urges local companies to take up the fight
against cancer in our community by becoming sponsors of Relay For Life of
South El Monte. Cancer touches the lives of everyone, and involvement in Relay
For Life is a great way to show that a company cares. Sponsorships can be tailored to a company’s ability to give.
Relay For Life is growing across the nation - thousands of people will participate this year in Relay For Life events across California. Founded in 1913, Relay For Life
events will take place in more than 5,000 communities nationwide, with Relays popping up
across the globe. In our community, over 400 participants registered to walk at South El Monte’s
first Relay For Life event last April. Help us continue the fight and sponsor the 2nd Annual
event.
Relay For Life is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship (anyone who
has faced cancer), remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease and raise money
for your American Cancer Society.
During the event, teams of people gather at schools or parks and take turns walking laps.
Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times. It’s amazing to see
the community connect in this way.
If you would like to become a corporate sponsor or find out how to build a team for the

SoCalGas says Get a Jump on Winter:
Now is Best Time to Prep Furnace, Light Pilots
Utility Offers Home-Heating Safety Tips
Don’t let the warm weather fool you. The winter heating season is around the corner. Southern California
Gas Co. (SoCalGas) says don’t wait; now is the time to inspect home-heating appliances, relight pilots and
perform any needed maintenance necessary to avoid health or safety hazards.
“Heating appliances should be serviced annually to keep them operating safely and efficiently, “said
Jimmie Cho, vice president of field services for SoCalGas. “To avoid the rush in winter and enjoy a shorter
wait time, we encourage customers to schedule an appointment online now at socalgas.com or call a licensed
heating contractor to provide this service for you.”
Failure to perform annual maintenance on gas appliances may result in exposure to carbon monoxide,
which can cause nausea, drowsiness, flu-like symptoms, and even death.
“Since home heating typically accounts for more than half of the monthly winter gas bill, the best way
to keep bills lower is to have gas appliances serviced,” Cho said.
SoCalGas offers these tips for a safe, warm, and energy-efficient winter:
• Have natural gas furnaces checked at least once a year by a licensed heating contractor or SoCalGas.
• Vacuum and clean regularly in and around the furnace, particularly around the burner compartment to
prevent a build-up of dust and lint. Never store items in, on or around the appliance that can obstruct
airflow.
• Most forced-air units have a filter that cleans the air before heating and circulating it throughout the
home. Check furnace filters every month during the heating season and clean or replace the filter when
necessary.
• When installing a new or cleaned furnace filter, be sure to re-install the front panel door of the furnace
properly so it fits snugly; never operate the furnace without the front-panel door properly in place because
doing so may create the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Check the appearance of the flame. If the flame is yellow, large and unsteady, the furnace needs to be
inspected immediately by a licensed heating contractor or SoCalGas to have the condition corrected.
• Using an unvented gas heater in your home is dangerous and a violation of the California Health and
Safety Code.
• Never use your oven, range or outdoor barbecue to heat your home because these appliances are not
designed for this purpose.
For more information on furnace safety, visit SoCalGas’ website at socalgas.com (search “FURNACE
SAFETY”). To schedule a service appointment, go to socalgas.com (search “SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT”) or call (800) 427-2200 or (800) 342-4545 in Spanish.
Homeless Campsite
Operation in the
San Gabriel Valley
River and Rio Hondo
Area Homeless
Individuals and
Families Connected
with Social Services
Most recently, the Sheriff’s Department along
with county agencies, nonprofit organizations, and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a
sweep on a homeless campsite along the San
Gabriel River near South El Monte. The ultimate
goal of the operation launched by L.A. County
Supervisor Gloria Molina of the First District, was
to connect homeless individuals and families living
along the “Emerald Necklace” –a 18-mile loops of
parks, trails, and green ways along the San Gabriel
Valley River and Rio Hondo area, with an array of
social services, including transitional housing, veterans benefits, medical care and among. In addition to providing social services to those in need,
the operation allowed officials to identify and
address any illegal activity and secure the location
for a physical clean up, since this area is used for
recreation use due to the bike trails, horse trails and
walking paths near the Emerald Necklace.
Since July, the county’s Emerald Necklace
Safety Team, established by Molina, conducted
daily outreach and engagement with homeless individuals living along the Emerald Necklace, connecting them with an array of social services
depending on each individual. They were able to
identify and assist over 150 people in need of services. Though some were resistant at first, many welcomed their help. Occupants of the campsite were
notified of the riverbed sweeps weeks in advance
and offered transitional housing and other vital
services available by multi-agencies of the county.
South El Monte City Officials applaud
Supervisor Gloria Molina efforts to assist and provide much needed assistance for homeless individuals and families living near the riverbed while at
the same time addressing public safety issues to
improve public space, designated for recreational
use.
Currently, the City is actively pursuing grants
from various government and nonprofit agencies to
transform the open space adjacent to the San
Gabriel River into a linear park for community
recreational use.

South El Monte High School Opens
Hydration Station
By Anne Donofrio-Holter
For the past two years, members of the Emerald Jewel Club of South El Monte High School have
worked to raise funds to purchase equipment for a hydration station which is now up and running in the
school's main corridor.
"Club members are very pleased with the response to the hydration station," said Principal Oscar
Cisneros.
The station, which was ready for use on the first day of the new school year, has already filled over
3,000 bottles with chilled and filtered drinking water.
"While encouraging students to drink more water for better health, the reuse of plastic bottles benefits the environment," said one club member.
"Funds to purchase the equipment were raised entirely by members of the club by selling hot dogs
and other items after school," said Cisneros. "This year, club members plan to raise funds for a plaque
to mark the station and commit future students to its upkeep."
Club members also attended the South Coast Air Quality Management District's "A World We Can
Change" conference. "Our goals were encouraged and strengthened by attending and by meeting students from other environmental clubs and organizations," said another member.
