Tips on How to Avoid Gift Card Scams You need to purchase a gift for a family member, so you go to your local market and purchase a gift card for $50. You place the gift card in an envelope and give it to your family member. When they try to use the gift card, the balance is zero. What happened? Unbeknownst to you, a “bad guy” obtained the pin number of the gift card while it was hanging on the store rack before you purchased the card. The person used a small scanner to obtain the entire pin number or they scratched off the protective covering on the pin number. The “bad guy” then checked the balance of the card repeatedly until they discovered you activated the $50 card. The “bad guy” then quickly spends the total of the gift card before your family member could use it. Follow the steps below to protect yourself and your family from this type of crime. Only purchase gift cards from reputable sources. Better yet, get them directly from the store they’re from. Don’t assume if a store has gift cards under lock and key it means they haven’t been tampered with and their numbers accessed. Carefully examine both sides of the card and look for signs of tampering such as an exposed PIN. If you find anything questionable, ask for another card and check it out, too. Repeat as many times as necessary. Online gift card purchases should be made from the website of the retailer they are intended to be used at. Never buy them on auction sites even if it looks like a great deal. Remind yourself that these cards may be stolen or counterfeit. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase until the card value has been exhausted. If you lose the card you may be able to show a cashier at the retailer your receipt and have them issue you a new gift card. Not every retailer will do this but many will. It’s worth asking. Have your cashier scan the card at the time of purchase to ensure that gift card you buy is valid and has the correct balance. Remember that no reputable business will require you to provide your social security number, bank account information or date of birth in order to purchase a gift card. Asking for this kind of personal data is unnecessary and has nothing to do with purchasing a gift card. You’re not applying for credit. Register the gift card if that service is offered.

Spotlight on Public Works for 2nd Quarter 2015
State Passes Mandatory Organics Recycling Legislation
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT PRODUCTION STATISTICS:
In October of 2014, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 1826, requiring businesses and multi-family complexes to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016. Organics are defined in the bill as food waste, food soiled paper, landscaping waste, and compostable utensils. Starting in April of 2016, the requirement for businesses to recycle organics will be phased in starting with the largest organics generators (grocery stores, large restaurants and cafeterias, food processing businesses). Also covered under this bill are large multi-family complexes. While the multi-family complexes are not required to recycle food waste, they will be required to recycle landscaping waste. Organic waste accounts for about 40 percent of materials that Californians dispose of in landfills annually. Most organic waste is recyclable through methods such as composting, mulching, and anaerobic digestion. Recycling organic waste not only saves our valuable landfill space but also creates green jobs. The City of Lawndale is currently investigating options to provide its businesses with an organics recycling program. Stay tuned!

Water Conservation Urged Due to Drought With the State officially in a drought, Californians are urged to cut water use. The City of Lawndale offers the following conservation tips: se sprinklers or hoses U during off-peak hours (the early morning or evening) to reduce evaporation and interference from wind. Check the sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers to avoid watering homes, sidewalks and streets. Run only full loads of clothes in washers and dishwashers. void flushing toilets unnecessarily; dispose of tissues, insects A and other similar waste in the trash instead. on’t leave the water running when washing dishes, brushing D your teeth or shaving. Fix leaking faucets and save up to 20 gallons of water a day. ash produce in sink or pan that is partially filled with water W instead of running from the tap. tore drinking water in the refrigerator rather than letting the S tap run to get a cold glass of water. se a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway or U sidewalk and save up to 150 gallons of water each time. or fish tank owners, use the water drained from the fish F tank for plants. The water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing a free and effective fertilizer.
Attention Residents! Southern California Edison (SCE) and their contractor crews will be in the City of Lawndale through December 31, 2015 to make necessary improvements to their electrical distribution system. SCE will be replacing wires, electrical equipment, and existing poles so the power grid is modern and reliable. Work will take place within the following boundaries in the City of Lawndale: Marine Avenue to the North, Prairie Avenue to the East, Manhattan Beach Boulevard to the South, and the 405 Freeway to the West. In the event that the SCE crews need to access certain poles and wires on private property; the homeowners will be notified. Also, for the crews to work safely, SCE may schedule maintenance outages too. In these cases, SCE will notify the affected residents at least 72 hours prior to the outages. If you have any questions about maintenance outages, please call SCE at (800) 655-4555. Thank you for your patience as SCE completes these upgrades.
Recycling Programs and News Free SHARPS Collection Containers
The City of Lawndale Public Works Department is distributing free SHARPS containers to the community while supplies last. Provided by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, these containers provide a safe and simple way to dispose of home-generated sharps waste, which by law, cannot be thrown in the trash. “SHARPS” is the term used to describe any item that is capable of puncturing the skin such as needles and lancets. Medical sharps are used in many homes to administer medications, such as allergy shots and insulin and to monitor physical states such as blood sugar levels.
Free Bulky Item Pick-up
Single family residents are eligible for four free bulky-item pickups per year, with a maximum of four items per pick-up. Residents of multi-family properties can receive one free pickup per year with up to four items. Before you set your bulky items at the curb for pick-up, please call Republic Services for a FREE disposal appointment at (800) 299-4898.

Larch Avenue Park Coming in 2016! On March 7, 2011, the City Council approved the purchase of a 1.5 acre property located on Larch Avenue just south of W. 147th Street with the intention of developing the land into a park. Soon after the land was purchased, a conceptual design was created which was the result of several public outreach workshops in which extensive community input was received. Subsequently, the City received $4 million in California State Proposition 84 grant funding to develop the land into a park. We thank all of the residents who have participated in the public outreach events. Your participation has helped the City design a park that the children can enjoy and one that everyone will be proud of. Property preparation activities are being completed; construction is expected to begin in the fall. The park is expected to be opened to the public in the spring of 2016.

Consejos sobre cómo evitar fraudes de tarjetas de regalo Usted necesita comprar un regalo para un miembro de su familia, así es que va al supermercado local y compra la tarjeta de regalo por $50. Pone la tarjeta de regalo en un sobre y se lo da a un miembro de su familia. Cuando su familiar trata de usar la tarjeta, el saldo es de cero. ¿Qué pasó? Sin que usted lo sepa, una “mala persona” obtuvo el número de pin de la tarjeta de regalo mientras estaba colgada en el estante de la tienda, antes de que usted la comprara. La persona usa un escaneador pequeño para obtener el número completo de pin o le raspa la cubierta protectora al número de pin. La “mala persona” revisa entonces el saldo de la tarjeta repetidamente hasta que descubre que usted activó la tarjeta de $50. La “mala persona” entonces gasta inmediatamente el total de la tarjeta de regalo antes de que su familiar lo pueda usar. Siga los siguientes pasos para protegerse usted y su familia, de este tipo delito. Solo compre tarjetas de regalo acreditadas. Mejor aún, cómprelas en la misma tienda de donde son. No asuma que si una tienda tiene tarjetas de regalo bajo llave, esto quiere decir que no han sido alteradas y que se ha tenido acceso a sus números. Examine cuidadosamente ambos lados de la tarjeta y busque señales de que se haya alterado, como un número de pin expuesto. Si usted encuentra algo dudoso, pida otra tarjeta y revísela también. Repita esto tantas veces como sea necesario. La compra de tarjetas de regalo en línea, debe hacerse desde un sitio web del negocio de donde intenta usarla. Nunca las compre en sitios de subasta aunque parezca ser una gran oferta. Recuerde que estas tarjetas podrían ser robadas o falsificadas. Mantenga su recibo como prueba de compra hasta que el valor de la tarjeta se haya acabado. Si usted pierde la tarjeta, usted podría mostrarle su recibo a la cajera en la tienda y le expedirá una nueva tarjeta de regalo. No todos los comercios hacen esto, pero muchos sí. Vale la pena preguntar. Haga que la cajera escanee la tarjeta en el momento de la compra para asegurarse que la tarjeta de regalo que está comprando sea válida y tenga el saldo correcto. Recuerde que no hay negocio acreditado que requiera que usted proporcione su número de seguro social, información de cuenta de banco, o fecha de nacimiento, para comprar la tarjeta de regalo. Pedir este tipo de información personal es innecesaria y no tiene nada que ver con la compra de la tarjeta de regalo. Usted no está solicitando crédito. Si ofrecen ese servicio, registre la tarjeta.

Lo más sobresaliente de las Obras Públicas del 2o trimestre de 2015
El Estado Aprueba una Ley de Reciclaje de Desecho Órganico Obligatoria
ESTADÍSTICAS DE PRODUCCIÓN deL OBRAS PÚBLICAS:
En octubre de 2014, el gobernador Brown firmó el Proyecto de Ley 1826, la cual requiere que los comercios y los complejos de multifamiliares reciclen su desecho orgánico a partir del 1o de abril de 2016. La ley define el desecho orgánico como desecho de alimentos, papel sucio de alimentos, desecho del jardín y materiales de composta. A partir de abril de 2016, el requisito para los comercios de reciclar desecho orgánico, se hará en etapas, comenzando con los generadores más grandes de desechos orgánicos (supermercados, restoranes grandes, cafeterías, y comercios con proceso de alimentos). Esta ley también comprende los complejos multifamiliares. Aún cuando no se requiere que los complejos multifamiliares reciclen desecho de alimentos, sí se requerirá que reciclen desecho de jardín. El desecho orgánico comprende el 40 por ciento de los materiales que los Californianos desechan en los tiraderos anualmente. La mayor parte de los desechos orgánicos se reciclan a través de métodos como composta, trituración y digestión anaeróbica. Reciclar el desecho orgánico no salva únicamente nuestros valiosos espacios de los tiraderos de basura, sino que también crea trabajos que ayuden a mejorar el medioambiente. La Ciudad de Lawndale está investigando actualmente las opciones para proporcionar a sus negocios un programa de reciclaje orgánico. ¡Manténgase al tanto!

Urge Conservar el Agua Debido a la Sequía Con el Estado, oficialmente en sequía, urge que los Californianos a que recorten el agua en un 20 por ciento. La ciudad de Lawndale ofrece los siguientes consejos para ahorrar el agua: No use aspersores o mangueras durante las horas pico (hágalo temprano en la mañana o en la noche) para reducir la evaporación e interferencia con el viento. Revisar el sistema de aspersores frecuentemente y ajustar los aspersores para evitar regar las residencias, las banquetas y las calles. Ponga solamente cargas completas en la lavadora y en la lavadoro de platos. Evite jalarle al excusado innecesariamente; tire los pañuelos desechables, insectos y otra basura similar en los botes de basura. No deje corriendo el agua al lavar los platos, lavarse los dientes o rasurarse. Arregle cualquier fuga de las llaves del agua y ahorre hasta 20 galones de agua al día. Lave las verduras en el fregadero o en un recipiente que esté parcialmente lleno con agua, en lugar de con el agua corriendo. Guarde el agua de beber en el refrigerador en lugar de dejar correr el agua para sacar un vaso de agua fría. Use una escoba en lugar de la manguera para limpiar su driveway o la banqueta y ahórrese hasta 150 galones de agua cada vez. Para quienes tienen acuarios, use el agua que saque del tanque, para regar sus plantas. El agua es rica en nitrógeno y fósforo brindando un fertilizador efectivo y gratuito.
