City of Morgan Hill Weekly 411
Week of December 16,
2018
|
|
Happy Sunday Morgan Hill!
The last City Council meeting of the year is this Wednesday, December 19 at 7:00 PM. It will be a full agenda with many important items including an update from the High Speed Rail. We encourage you to attend or view from home on Channel 17 or
online.
As you may have noticed, leaves that have fallen from all the beautiful trees throughout the City abound. Fallen leaves can cause flooding during rain events when they make their way into the storm drain. Although the City works hard to keep all storms drains free and clear of debris, at this time of year, it is impossible for the 5 member City Parks and Streets Maintenance Team to address all of the leaves over 127 miles of City roadways. We ask the community to actively participate in keeping storm drains clear of leaves and other debris. It can be a fun and easy way to positively contribute in your neighborhood with children and adults alike.
Morgan Hill Fire asks the community to beware of holiday season fire dangers. Please see holiday fire safety tips in the body of this email. Give your family the most important holiday gift, a fire safe holiday!
The Morgan Hill Unified School District (MHUSD) announced that there will be a vacancy on the Board of Education at the end of January. If you live in Trustee Area 7 and are interested in serving on the MHUSD Board of Education please visit the
MHUSD website for further details.
Make it a great week ahead! We look forward to your ongoing engagement and participation in all aspects of community life and local government in Morgan Hill.

Beware of Holiday Season Fire Dangers |
 The Morgan Hill Fire Department, South Santa Clara County Fire District and CAL FIRE are asking the public to give their families and themselves the most important holiday gift: a fire safe holiday. Holiday decoration fires are most likely to happen in the living room, family room or den. Almost half of all home decoration fires are started by candles, mostly because the decorations were placed too close to a heat
source.

Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
From November 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, watering is limited to Wednesdays only.
- Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
- Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station
- Watering returns to the three day a week schedule on April 1, 2018

2019 Point-in-time Homeless Census and Survey Needs Volunteers |
The 2019 Point-in-Time Homeless Census and Survey will take place in Morgan Hill on Tuesday, January 29th from 4:30am - 10:00am, and we are looking for volunteers to help count!
What is the Point-in-Time Count?
All jurisdictions receiving federal funding to provide housing and services for homeless populations through McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grant are required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct a biennial Point-in-Time count of unsheltered and sheltered homeless individuals and families. The count must happen within the last ten days of January and all data must be tied to one night.
Why does the Point-in-Time Count matter?
Point-in-Time Count data are the primary data used for federal funding allocations and national estimates of homelessness. The numbers reported by your community are used by the US Interagency Council on Homelessness and all federal departments including Housing and Education. PIT Count numbers are also most often cited by local strategic plans, state, county and city government and the media.

DEVELOPMENTAL ASSET
OF THE MONTH
|
|
| |
Asset #39 - SENSE OF PURPOSE
|
Tips to Help You Implement Asset #39: Sense of Purpose
- Ask your youth what matters to them, what gets them excited about each new day? What are their dreams, interests and passions?
- Give them the opportunity to explore different types of sports, art and music classes, community service, trips to different schools and colleges, etc..
- Talk about family values and the purpose of each family member in the home.
Click here for more information about this month's developmental asset!
Developmental assets are the positive values, relationships, skills and experiences that help youth and teens thrive. Young people with high asset levels are most likely to make healthy choices, while those with lower asset levels are more likely to get involved with negative or risky behaviors like violence, trouble in school, drug and alcohol use and more. The Search Institute of Minneapolis created the developmental assets framework. For more information, visit
