To promote fireworks safety, Supervisor Todd Spitzer partnered with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) in holding a press conference to warn residents of the potential dangers of fireworks and illegal explosives this Fourth of July holiday.
Supervisor Todd Spitzer talked about the importance of adult supervisor over the children during the festivities. “While families are celebrating with BBQ’s be careful of kids around pools and water. Make sure that they are out of reach of fireworks.”
“Safe and Sane” fireworks are illegal in most Orange County cities, only ten cities allow them. If fireworks are allowed in the city, residents must comply with that city’s regulations and use the fireworks only in the timeframe allowed, within those cities. |

WINS TWO GOLDEN HUB OF INNOVATION AWARDS FROM ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA CITIES-ORANGE COUNTY
(Portions courtesy of OC Waste & Recycling)
The Association of California Cities-Orange County last week awarded the Golden Hub of Innovation to OC Waste & Recycling (OCWR) for two of its programs:
- Community Outreach Ambassador Program; and
- Landfill Good Neighbor Policy.
All Orange County cities, special districts and public agencies are eligible for the awards, which are given annually in several categories. OC Waste & Recycling garnered two awards in the category of Public Engagement. “OC Waste & Recycling works hard to be a good neighbor when it comes to solid waste management. That includes implementing best management practices in operations and pro-active engagement with landfill neighbors,” said Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Todd Spitzer upon hearing of the awards.
The Community Outreach Ambassador Program also reflects OCWR’s core values of collaboration, competency, challenge and variety.
OC Waste & Recycling’s Community Outreach Ambassador Program increased the reach of their recycling message by training and deploying employees to serve at public events. OCWR’s Ambassadors can be seen working at events all around the County—using their knowledge and experience to inform and educate the public to reduce, reuse and recycle. Information about upcoming events is available at www.ocecochallenge.com.
Since 2012 a strategic Good Neighbor Policy at Orange County landfills has created good will to ensure continued operations and responsiveness to community concerns. Information about Orange County’s landfills can be found at http://oclandfills.com/landfill/ |

TOWN HALL MEETING
Orange Metrolink Parking Structure Project |
| |
|

July 8, 2015
5:30 PM to 7 PM
Orange Main Library and History Center
407 E. Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA 92866 |

An exciting project is another step closer to becoming a reality. The City of Orange (City) and the Orange County Transportation Authority have been studying and planning for a parking structure at the northwest corner of Chapman Avenue and Lemon Street for several years. As part of the planning process, the City has incorporated a number of recommendations from community stakeholders, and we are at the final stages of environmental review.
We are excited to share how your input thus far has helped to shape the project. Please join us at an informal Town Hall meeting where you will have an opportunity to review the project design and learn about how the project fits into our community.
We hope to educate you about the project, and more importantly, we want your feedback. This will be an informal Open House format, and you are invited to stop by the library for a self-guided review of the exhibit boards. Subject area experts will be available to answer your questions.
If you are unable to attend the Town Hall, we still want to hear from you. For your convenience, the exhibit boards and technical documents can be found on the project website: www.cityoforange.org/metrolinkparkingstructure. The website also allows you to provide comments electronically and to add your name to our database to stay informed as we move through the next phases of final design and construction.
Official Public Review Period: June 10 to July 15, 2015
