| Brea Opens Bike Trail Section |
|
Last weekend, the City of Brea opened Segment 3 of its six-segment bike trail to the public. This is an important milestone toward the completion of the larger OC Loop, a planned, seamless 66-mile bicycle connection throughout north Orange County. More than 70% of this trail has been completed. With Segment 1 already open to the west, four additional sections will begin construction soon to close a four-mile gap of the Loop in total.
See the map for more information. |

| OC PetTrack App |
|
 |
| |
The Board of Supervisors are happy to introduce you to the PetTrack app! This app can be downloaded onto your phone and links directly to OC Animal Care’s website. From this app, members of the public can search lost pets, adoptable pets and our “Happily Ever After” page. Users can also “follow” an animal by adding them to their watch list. We are excited about this new modality that permits members of the public to search for animals when away from their computer or to merely look up information on animals while navigating through OC Animal Care.
Below is the link to our page to download the app to your iPhone or Android mobile device.

Recruitment is now open for the CalOptima Board of Directors. A county-organized health system, CalOptima serves more than 770,000 low-income children, adults, seniors and persons with disabilities. CalOptima was formed in 1995 in response to a healthcare system that was struggling to meet the needs of vulnerable Orange County residents.

To apply for a seat on the CalOptima Board of Directors, please complete an application by April 15, 2016. Applications can be found on the Health Care Agency’s website at http://ochealthinfo.com/caloptima. |

Supervisor Shawn Nelson was proud to honor Officers from La Habra and Fullerton who were recognized last week at the 2016 MADD Orange County Law Enforcement and Prosecutor Recognition Luncheon.
The annual luncheon recognizes Police Officers, Deputies and CHP who make more than 25 arrests in one year while working the streets of Orange County in their patrol operations in cities, county and freeways. Top arresting Officer was Doug Demetre from Huntington Beach PD with 245.
Supervisor Nelson delivered commendations for the 6th year that were presented by Policy Advisor Steve Spernak at last week’s luncheon.
Special commendations were awarded to the top drunk driving arresting Officers in Scott Flynn from Fullerton PD who arrested 61 impaired drivers. La Habra Police Officer Jason Sanchez was honored with the Supervisor’s commendation for the 35 drunk drivers he arrested.
Commendations also went to the following Fullerton Police Officers for their work in preventing the tragedies of drunk driving and a listing of the number of arrests each made:
Nicholas Dempkowski (26)
Joshua Manes (26)
Jonathon Munoz (27)
Eric Bridges (28)
Timothy Gibert (28)
Kyle Baas (31)
Denny Bak (33)
Ryan Warner (35)
Michael Halverson (35)
Chief Dan Hughes of Fullerton PD was represented at the MADD awards by his command staff in Captain Scott Rudisill, Lt Mike Chlebowski and Captain John Siko to show support for their Officers and Department in their commitment to save lives with arrests, prosecution and prevention-education.
Congratulations to Prosecutor of the Year in Deputy District Attorney Michelle Vohnout for her work with the Drug and DUI courts that educate and rehab 80 convicted DUI individuals with 10-15 offenders a week trying to get into the remediation program. |
