Why is it Important to Clean up After Your Pet? Here are 7 Good Reasons: 1. I t’s the law! Lawndale Municipal Code (LMC), Section 6.04.020(A) reads as follows: “It is unlawful for the owner or person having charge or control of any dog or cat or other household pet (“animal” in this section) to permit the animal to defecate and to allow the feces to remain, upon any public or private property not owned or possessed by the owner or person having charge or control of the animal, unless the person shall immediately and securely enclose all feces deposited by the animal in a bag, wrapper or other container and dispose of it in a sanitary manner”. 2. Storm water and sprinkler runoff carries pet waste and other pollutants directly into waterways and pollutes our waters. 3. Animal waste may contain harmful organisms such as roundworms, hookworms, Giardia, Salmonella and E. coli that can be transmitted to humans and other animals. 4. No one likes to step in pet waste and spread it into homes, cars and businesses. 5. Scooping on a daily basis and applying lime will help prevent odors. 6. It's the right thing to do! Carry plastic baggies and paper towels when walking your pet in public. It’s easy to clean up by carrying plastic baggies and paper towels in your pocket. The baggies can be secured and thrown away in the garbage. LMC 6.04.020(B) reads as follows: “Any person who has charge or control of any animal in a location other than on the property of such person or the property of the owner of the animal shall have in his or her possession a suitable wrapper, bag or container for the purpose of complying with the requirements of this section. Failure of such person to carry such wrapper, bag or container when in charge or control of an animal in a location other than on the property of such person or the property of the owner of the animal shall constitute a violation of this section”. 7. Your neighbors will appreciate your good manners. Please do the right thing and clean up after your pet when in public!

The program covers: street, concrete, and traffic improvements (including sidewalk, curb and gutter), parks, and city facilities improvements. Projects are currently under construction or are in the planning and design phases.
Current Projects Teen Recreation Center: The project entails the construction of a Teen Recreation Center within the existing Municipal Services Department building. Portions of the building currently not being used, as well as the existing courtyard, will be renovated to create the new teen center. A number of spaces will be created for activities that are popular with teenagers such as: X-box gaming center, WiFi capabilities, dedicated space with mirrors for dance and fitness programs and performances; a state-of-the-art audio and visual rack, projector and projector screen that has the ability to play movies, music, and other audio and visual content. In addition, a number of other active spaces that include lounge sofas, coffee tables, a ping pong table and foosball tables are included in the design specifications. Construction is anticipated to be completed in November. The project is being funded by a $400,000 grant from Los Angeles County Regional, Park and Open Space District and Redevelopment Bonds. Street Improvement Projects: The City’s Capital Improvement Program has identified the following streets for improvements: W. 149th Street from Firmona Avenue to Hawthorne Boulevard W. 153rd Street from Inglewood Avenue to Firmona Avenue W. 153rd Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to the end of the street W. 164th Street from Inglewood Avenue to Freeman Avenue W. 166th Street from Inglewood Avenue to Prairie Avenue W. 168th Street from Inglewood Avenue to Prairie Avenue W. 170th Street from Inglewood Avenue to Hawthorne Boulevard W. 172nd Street from Inglewood Avenue to Hawthorne Boulevard W. 173rd Street from Inglewood Avenue to Grevillea Avenue Larch Avenue from Marine Avenue to Manhattan Beach Boulevard Prairie Avenue from the northern city limit to south of W. 149th Street Freeman Avenue from Manhattan Beach Boulevard to W. 165th Street Osage Avenue from Firmona Avenue to W. 167th Street The various street improvements will address asphalt pavement repairs, restore roadway gutter-drainage flows and eliminate/diminish street and cross-gutter nuisance water and removal, where necessary, of existing slotted cross-gutters.

The project will include construction of a right turn pocket, pavement resurfacing, crosswalk and traffic signal replacements, utility relocation, curb, gutter, traffic striping and other roadway modifications that will complete the traffic improvements throughout the project limits. Phase III of the project will widen Inglewood Avenue to provide a third southbound traffic lane from south of 147th Street to Marine Avenue.

Scheduling Your Bulky Item Pickup is Easy! The City of Lawndale and Republic Services are here to help you dispose of your large and bulky items responsibly. These items can include refrigerators, sofas, mattresses, computers, toilets and many other items. City of Lawndale single-family residents are offered four “bulky item” pickups each year. Each pickup can include up to four items. Single family residents that exceed the number of pickups or place more than 4 items out per pickup, or do not schedule their pickup in advance with Republic Services, will be charged a fee of $22.22 for each additional item collected. Residents living in multi-family complexes can receive one bulky item pickup per year per unit. Bulky items are limited to items that can be lifted by two men. Call Republic Services’ customer service at least 24 hours in advance of your regular trash collection day at (800) 299-4898 to schedule your collection. Another way to easily schedule your bulky item pickup is to download, sign up and use the My ResourceTM application from Republic Services on your cell phone. You can also use the application to pay your bills, report a missed pickup and even rate their service. Before scheduling a bulky item or electronic waste pickup, consider donating your old items to charity. To donate items, call Goodwill Industries at (800) GOODWILL or the Salvation Army at (800) 95-TRUCK for more information. The closest donation centers to Lawndale are located below: Salvation Army: 4001 Inglewood Avenue, Redondo Beach Goodwill: 2318 Artesia Boulevard, Redondo Beach Goodwill: 13245 Hawthorne Boulevard, Hawthorne Bulky items can also be collected at no charge during Lawndale’s Biannual Clean-Up Week event (See page 2 for details).

The Harmful Effects of Illegal Dumping Dismantled televisions are finding their way into the fair streets of our city. Illegally dumped and stripped down TVs pose a serious threat to families and their children. Not only do TVs contain broken glass, choking hazards, and sharp wires, they contain many hazardous chemicals that can cause serious injury and illness if directly exposed to or inhaled. Some of these chemicals and their potential effects on our bodies are listed below: Lead: Exposure to lead can cause muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and in more extreme cases can damage your kidneys. Mercury: Exposure can cause tremors, emotional changes, insomnia, headaches, neuromuscular changes, and in higher exposures, respiratory failure, kidney effects and potentially death. Cadmium: Exposure can cause vomiting, damage to lungs and kidneys, and can potentially cause cancer. Arsenic: Exposure can cause vomiting, diarrhea, numbness and tingling in extremities, rashes, liver and kidney damage, and in more extreme cases, even death. These are only four of the toxic chemicals that are found in old, abandoned televisions that threaten your well-being, and if not disposed of properly will leak into our environment through the soil and groundwater. You can help to combat these threats to others by keeping these chemicals away from our families by properly disposing of old televisions by doing one of the following: Call for a bulky item pickup: The City’s waste hauler, Republic Services, will collect your old television as a bulky item pickup; however, you have to contact them beforehand at (800) 299-4898 to schedule a pickup appointment. Dispose of Item Yourself: If you would like to dispose of a television yourself, you may take it to the following location: Hyperion Treatment Plant - 7660 W. Imperial Hwy, Gate B, Playa Del Rey, CA 90293 Hours: Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donate it to Charity: If you would like to donate your old television, instead of recycling it, another option is to donate it to Goodwill Industries at (800) GOODWILL or the Salvation Army at (800) 95-TRUCK.
Lawndale Launches Commercial Organics/ Food Waste Recycling Program In October of 2014, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 1826 requiring certain businesses and multi-family complexes to recycle their organic waste beginning April 1, 2016. Organics are defined as food waste, food-soiled paper, landscaping waste, and compostable utensils. The requirement for businesses to recycle organics/food waste will be phased in starting with the largest generators such as grocery stores, large restaurants, and food processing businesses. Also covered under this bill are multi-family complexes of 5 units or more. Multi-family complexes are not required to recycle food waste, but are required to recycle landscaping waste. Lawndale has established an organics recycling program that will be available to Lawndale businesses and multi-family complexes that fall under AB 1826 at no additional charge. Businesses will place organics/food waste in specially designed bags and place them in the trash receptacle and Republic Services will separate the bags from the trash at their processing facility. Businesses and multi-family complexes can sign up for landscape and/or organics recycling service by contacting Republic Services at (800) 299-4898. Organic waste accounts for about 40% of the material in landfills that Californians dispose of 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.

§ What’s New for 2017?
New Building Code Changes:
On January 1, 2017, California's new building codes go into effect across the state, including the City of Lawndale. An Urgency Ordinance was adopted by the City Council at a public hearing on December 19, 2016 adopting these changes into the Building Code, which took effect on January 1, 2017. All development projects and permit applications submitted to the City on or after January 1, 2017 must comply with the new codes. To view the new changes in their entirety, visit the Community Development Department to view hard copies of the changes, or contact Sean Moore at (310) 973-3231 or via email at smoore@lawndalecity.org.
Urgency Ordinance for City Marijuana Regulations to Address Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act): The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) is a marijuana legalization initiative that was passed by voters on the November 8, 2016 California ballot. AUMA is an elaborate 62-page initiative which would write hundreds of new provisions and regulations into state law. Its basic objective is to: (1) allow adults 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to six plants for personal use; (2) regulate and tax the production, manufacture, and sale of marijuana for adult use; and (3) rewrite criminal penalties so as to reduce the most common marijuana felonies to misdemeanors and allow prior offenders to petition for reduced charges. An Urgency Ordinance was adopted by City Council on November 7, 2016 consistent with AUMA. A City Ordinance is being considered by the Planning Commission to be considered by the City Council in early 2017.
Urgency Ordinance for the Regulation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU'S) Within Residential Zones: New state laws regarding ADU’s will go into effect January 1, 2017. Accordingly, to be in compliance with new state regulations, the city adopted an urgency ordinance that amends the city’s secondary dwelling unit regulations to comply with accessory dwelling unit regulations set by the State of California. On December 5, 2016, the City Council adopted an Urgency Ordinance for accessory dwelling units. A City Ordinance is being drafted by staff for consideration by the Planning Commission in early 2017.

¿Por qué es importante limpiar/ recoger tras su mascota? He aquí 7 buenas razones: 1. ¡ Es la ley! El Código Municipal de Lawndale (LMC), Sección 6.04.020(A) establece lo siguiente: “Es ilegal que una persona que esté a cargo o control de cualquier perro, gato, o cualquier otra mascota doméstica (“animal” en esta sección) permita que el animal defeque y que se dejen las heces en propiedad pública o privada, que no sea de la propiedad del dueño o de la persona a cargo de la mascota, a menos que la persona, inmediatamente se asegure recoger las heces y depositarlas en una bolsa u otro envase y se disponga de dichas heces de una manera sanitaria” 2. El agua de lluvia o los aspersores acarrean el desecho de las mascotas y otros contaminantes, directamente por las vías fluviales y contaminan nuestras aguas. 3. El desecho animal puede contener organismos dañinos como lombrices, anquilostomas, Giardia, Salmonella y E. coli que se pueden transmitirse a los humanos y a otros animales. 4. A nadie le gusta pisar el desecho de animales y llevarlo hacia sus hogares, autos y negocios. 5. Recoger diariamente y aplicar limón impide los malos olores. 6. ¡Es lo correcto! Traiga bolsitas plasticas y toallas de papel cuando camine con su mascota en la vía pública. Es fácil limpiar, si trae bolsas de plástico y toallas de papel con usted. Las bolsitas de plástico pueden sellarse y desecharse en la basura. LMC 6.04.020(B) establece lo siguiente: “Cualquier persona que tenga control de un animal en un lugar que no sea el de la persona misma, o del dueño del animal, deberá tener en su posesión una bolsa o envase apropiado para el propósito de cumplir con los requisitos de esta sección. El hecho de que la persona no cumpla con traer una bolsa o envase, cuando se encuentre en control del animal en cualquier lugar que no sea la propiedad de la persona o propiedad del dueño del animal, constituye una violación a esta sección.” 7. Sus vecinos le agradecerán sus buenos modales. Por favor haga lo correcto y limpie tras su mascota cuando se encuentre en la vía pública.

Los Efectos Dañinos de Desechar Artículos Ilegalmente
Televisores desarmados están apareciendo en las calles de nuestra ciudad. Los televisores desarmados y tirados ilegalmente presentan una amenaza seria para las familias y sus hijos. Los televisores no solamente contienen vidrios rotos, peligro de atorarse en la garganta, y cables puntiagudos, también contienen químicos que pueden causar serias lesiones y enfermedades si se les expone directamente a ellos o si son inhalados. Para mayor información, ver la página 9.
Lawndale Lanza el programa de reciclaje de desecho de alimentos/orgánicos comerciales En octubre del 2014, el Gobernador Brown firmó el Proyecto de Ley 1826 requiriendo que ciertos negocios y complejos multi-familiares reciclen el desecho orgánico a partir del 1º de abril de 2016. Lo orgánico se define como desecho de alimentos, papel sucio de alimentos, papeles de jardinería y utensilios de abono. Para mayor información, ver la página 9.
