Clean Air Utility Vehicle
|
|
The City of La Habra Heights partnered with the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) in the Local Government Partnership Program to jumpstart the South Coast AQMD’s 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The AQMP serves as the official roadmap for reaching federal clean air goals and relies in part on incentive-based programs and initiatives, in addition to regulatory approaches, to foster air pollution reductions within the regional air basin. The Local Government Partnership Program provides additional funding, beyond funding provided through the AB 2766 Subvention Fund Program to assist local agencies in implementing clean air programs that are consistent with the stated goals in the AQMP. The program emphasizes an accelerated transition to zero and near-zero emission vehicles and essential supporting infrastructure.
The City was granted funds to purchase an on-road, light duty, zero emission electric utility vehicle. On December 20, 2018, a 2019 Club Car 710 LSV utility vehicle was delivered to the City, which was purchased through the Local Government Partnership Program. The vehicle will not only support a clean air goals, but will become a valuable tool to assist in the daily operations and beautification of the City. The vehicle will be used to move debris and small bulky items from The Park, City Hall and other locations.
If you see City staff driving the new utility vehicle on City streets, look for the MSRC logo and remember that it is part of the City of La Habra Heights’ contribution to clean air.
The Utility Vehicle will be on display at City Hall for the month of January.

Postal Inspectors across the country work hard to protect your mail. But with deliveries to more than 100 million addresses, the Postal Inspection Service cannot do the job alone.
Here is what you can do to protect your mail from thieves:
- Use the letter slots inside your Post Office for your mail, or hand it to a letter carrier.
- Pick up your mail promptly after delivery. Do not leave it in your mailbox overnight. If you are expecting checks, credit cards, or other negotiable items, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail.
- If you do not receive a check or other valuable mail you are expecting, contact the issuing agency immediately.
- If you change your address, immediately notify your Post Office and anyone with whom you do business via the mail.
- Do not send cash in the mail.
- Tell your Post Office when you will be out of town, so they can hold your mail until you return.
- Report all suspected mail theft to a Postal Inspector.
- Consider starting a neighborhood watch program. By exchanging work and vacation schedules with trusted friends and neighbors, you can watch each other's mailboxes (as well as homes).
- Consult with your local Postmaster for the most up-to-date regulations on mailboxes, including the availability of locked centralized or curbside mailboxes.
If you see a mail thief at work, or if you believe your mail was stolen, call police immediately, then call Postal Inspectors at 877-876-2455 (press 3).

Avoid Soil Erosion Caused
by Heavy Rains
|

(Images retrieved from https://www.wikihow.com)

Soil erosion is common during harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rains and hard winds. Thankfully, there are several ways to prevent your topsoil from being eroded.
What is soil erosion?
Soil erosion occurs when soil is removed and transported to other locations. This can be a major problem if you have landscaping such as plant beds or a garden. Here are some ways to protect your planting and prevent soil erosion:
Apply Mulch
A useful way to help prevent topsoil from being washed or blown away is to apply mulch. Apply a layer on top of the soil to help soak up water and protect against rain impact.
Create Windbreaks
Create natural wind barriers by planting rows of trees or shrubs. Evergreen trees or large bushes around the windward exposure area will help prevent erosion in those areas. This option is particularly helpful if soil often blows across your land.
Use Geotextiles
Geotextiles are fabrics that can be used to protect your topsoil. This is an effective method because it will stabilize the soil without disturbing any growing vegetation. Use this method to help prevent sloped areas of your land from storm damage.
Add Plantings
Planting vegetation, shrubs and trees will help keep the soil in place. The roots in particular will establish a system that stabilizes the soil and prevents erosion. Planting vegetation is the most natural way to prevent soil erosion.
