Key points from MAC meeting

Here are a few key points from last week’s Temescal Valley Municipal Advisory Council meeting:

County fire has found four possible sites in the vicinity of Weirick Road for the relocation of Station 15 when it is reopened. Fire is now working with county real estate office.

The Sheriff had 407 Temescal Valley calls for service during May. Twenty-two were Part 1 crimes. There were eight larcenies, three burglaries, four aggressive assaults, one robbery and six vehicle thefts. Several of these calls were at Glen Ivy RV Park. False alarms comprised the majority of all calls.

Freeway monuments identifying Temescal Valley are behind schedule. Monuments should be approved by the Board of Supervisors at either the June 17 or July 1 meeting. Southbound monument should be constructed by the end of August; northbound monument by October. See related story HERE

Waste Management is beginning a new phase at the landfill – this only happens every two to three years. Public tours of the construction are available: call 951-277-5112. A $4,000 grant has been received from Keep America Beautiful to continue cleanup in Temescal Valley. $20,000 in grants has been received to date. The annual summer day camp program at the landfill will be held at the end of July.

The El Sobrante Oversight Committee will have a public meeting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16 at the Lee Lake Water District office, 22646 Temescal Canyon Road. The county is expected to address the recent concerns raised by the committee. Committee minutes and agendas can be found HERE
