NEWS IN BRIEF

New In-N-Out Coming In to Woodland Hills?

The National Park Service has announced that they’ve found one mountain lion kitten den after another. In all 13 kittens were born to five mountain lions between May and August. This is the highest number of dens found in such a short period of time during the 18 years in which mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains have been studied. The news comes as the California Senate passes AB 1788, a bill to ban the use of rat poison in California, which has been blamed for the recent death of a local bobcat and mountain lion. The bill now goes to the governor for signature.To learn more about the kitten litters visit nps.gov/samo.

Local Couple Vows to “Disrupt Philanthropy”By Giving $10 Million of Their Money Locally

Trump Rally Rolls Out From Woodland Hills; Shots Fired Into Crowd

Greg and Jodi Perlman

Hundreds of cars gathered Sunday for a pro-Trump rally that congregated at Taft High School and traveled east on Ventura Blvd to conclude in Studio City. While hundreds of cars gathered to parade down the boulevard, there was a small group of protestors on the opposite side of the Blvd at Winnetka. When the parade reached the Sherman Oaks Galleria, where BLM protesters have stationed themselves for weeks, the parties exchanged words but the interaction remained non-violent.

However, amidst the protest, there was a witness account that shots had been fired from an apartment complex in the 20500 block of Ventura Blvd into the crowd. After hearing a supposed firing and then seeing that a tire had apparently been hit and subsequently flattened, authorities were called. LAPD SWAT and Rescue closed a portion of Ventura Blvd for hours as they investigated the tip that three people in the complex may have been responsible. After clearing the building, LAPD went inside the building to find it empty of any suspects. While no one was hurt at the rally, police are still investigating to determine what exactly happened.

He’s in property management. She’s in retail. They have three kids and live in the heart of the valley.

Sound like a typical suburban couple?

Nothing could be further from the truth. Greg and Jodi Perlman have committed to give $10 million a year of their own money to local deserving charities, groups and individuals.

Their goal is to “disrupt” or change the face of philanthropy and focus on small grants given locally.

Jodi actually owns the chain of “Soto” boutiques, and Greg is one of the largest owner of Section 8 properties in the county.

That’s where a lot of the

inspiration for their organization “The Change Reaction” came

from. “Our housing serves families and seniors,” Greg told

Valley News Group. “We’ve seen generational-type poverty,

and originally started a foundation focused on people living in our buildings. Our goal was to pull them out of Section 8 and have them move on.”

To that end their first efforts were to provide down payment assistance and college scholarships. To date they’ve given 475 scholarships to four-year schools - everything from Harvard to state colleges.

“That led to the model we use now,” explained Greg. “It’s philanthropy on a small scale. Too often big donors give to get their name on a

building, or the publicity. They (Continued to page 12)

The difference between Miss Storybook and other storytellers is that Newman is reading children’s stories written by children. “I got to a point where I needed a voice, and realized children have the same struggle,” she told Valley News Group. “I want to inspire children to write and share by reading their stories.” Children send their stories to her “imaginical mailbox” and Miss Storybook reads them on her show.

Just the facts…Many cities in more liberal

states across America have gone wild with the coronavirus pandemic lockdown and upcoming election between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. It does not matter to me who you are supporting or voting for in the upcoming November election. That decision is entirely up to you and our fellow Americans. As the saying goes, may the best person win.

Now the facts that you may not have read, heard or seen on local or national media.

Fact ….police officers in more liberal states and cities across America under the leadership of mostly weak-kneed politicians have become the target of anarchists and Antifa who apparently want to topple our American form of government that most of us respect, love and cherish.

America is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but is constantly trying to mold itself to try and make the masses happy and included in the process. This is most evident by reviewing the numerous United States Supreme Court decisions that have been handed down over the many years we have been a nation. Decisions that are a challenging task for any country and especially a difficult one for a nation that has been around for 244 years and established on July 4, 1776. We are a nation of immigrants and together we are strong and capable of most anything you can think of. We are people from all regions of the world. We are farmers and ranchers and medical personnel and teachers and laborers and construction workers and scientists along with first responders and military personal and so many other professions that make up the fabric of what

Rantz and Ravez from Dennis Zine America is today. While there have been many injustices in the past against many ethnic groups, we have bonded closer as the years have passed. With education, people from all groups have risen to higher levels on the social scale and become successful Americans in so many ways. Business opportunities and financial wealth have been accomplished by many who have come to America from around the world and worked hard and accomplished great success.

What has kept us in check and permitted people from all backgrounds to find happiness, success and wealth in America are the laws that establish balance, equality and protection

and local politicians demanding that funding be reduced to the department and the funding go to a variety of community programs in minority communities. Mayor Garcetti, who recently called police officers “killers,” pushed for reduced LAPD funding and was supported by the vast majority of the City’s Councilmembers. The impact has been significant in examining the current LAPD citywide profile.

As of August 22, 2020, the LAPD is staffed with 9,904 sworn police officers. That number is down from the June 6, 2020 number of 9,998 officers. That is a reduction of 94 officers. How many officers are now missing from your neighborhood and how long will you have to wait for police response when you phone 911?

In a meeting with L.A. City Councilman Bob Blumenfield from District 3, we discussed LAPD operations and current funding. The councilman is a supporter of Public Safety and the LAPD. While the councilman recognizes the many funding needs of the city from street services to sanitation and everything from the airport to the zoo, he realizes that certain budget restraints are needed due to reduced revenues caused by the closure of many business and

for all. Police officers are the ones charged to enforce the laws and sworn to protect and serve everyone 24 hours a day. I know first-hand the job and challenges of being a police officer in a major metropolitan city.

I joined the LAPD in 1968 and served for 33 years before retiring and moving onto a political career as an elected L.A. City Councilman. Now, I look back at my experiences and compare them to what is happening today in America, and in particular Los Angeles. The LAPD has come under attack from certain community groups

- The fattest knight at King Arthur’s round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi.

- She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.

•And - the dumbest thing I ever purchased this year was a 2020 planner.

• As my daughter heads back to college and I write out the bills, I asked her why she couldn’t have chosen Bible College. It’s cheaper because they only have one book, the test has only 10 questions and if you flunk out you’re forgiven!

• Why did Beethoven kill his pet chicken? It kept saying “Bach, bach, bach!”

lack of sales tax and other city revenues.

The councilman is working on reducing a number of current LAPD responsibilities and passing them along to other agencies. This will relieve police officers from dealing with the homeless population and all that goes along with that challenge that Mayor Garcetti has totally failed to remedy with the millions of dollars that have been generated to address the situation. It is such a disaster that the County of Los Angeles is now looking at reconsidering the structure of the Homeless Services Agency!

While LAPD salaries and benefits have not been impacted, moving some of the current LAPD responsibilities to other agencies may be a benefit for both the community and police personnel. Mental illness and drug abuse is not a police function. Various crimes associated with mental illness and drug users are a police function. That will remain a police matter in spite of the lax laws dealing with both issues.

L.A. County has a $50 million budget for the San Fernando Valley to deal with mental illness and drug abuse. Those dollars need to be reviewed to make sure they are being spent wisely and impacting the problems associated with those in need of assistance.

City Approves Blumenfield’s Motionto Suspend Sign Ordinances

As the pandemic continues to dramatically impact the local economy, the L.A. City Council unanimously supported Councilmember Bob Blumenfield’s motion to temporarily suspend certain signage laws so local businesses can promote their services without fear of fines or penalties. Fourteen business owners were cited by the Department of Building and Safety over the past few months for having illegal signage, often just simple signs hung on their property expressing that they are open and their operating hours. The motion suspends the requirement for businesses to obtain a permit for “temporary” signs that are tacked, pasted or otherwise temporarily affixed to windows and/or on the walls of buildings, barns, sheds or fences. Blumenfield stated, “Now more than ever it’s imperative to shop and support community restaurants and businesses. Many establishments are at a make or break moment and it’s critical that as a city, and as consumers, we keep the local economy as healthy as possible.”

By Janey M. RifkinWhen the new coronavirus

swept through the U.S. in late January and February doctors were so in-the-dark about how to treat the disease which was ravaging their patients. It was literally a learning process for all medical staff at all hospitals throughout the country as well as in countries throughout the world.

About a third of Covid-19 cases were mild and could be treated at home with rest, fluids, and common over-the-counter painkillers. Early on, doctors in hospitals learned to make the most of the tools they had at hand.

The emerging approach focused on treating a handful of frequently observed symptoms of severe Covid-19. First was delivering enough oxygen, second was reducing the risk of blood clots, third was tackling inflammation of the organs and tissues caused by runaway immune response. Doctors say some patients at this time also needed treatment for kidney failure. While mechanical ventilation was standard practice among very sick patients early on, instead many patients were given oxygen at high pressure using plastic hoods.

Respiratory function frequently becomes impaired with Covid-19 cases. Doctors have learned to lay patients on their stomachs as a technique

that boosts lung function. Some new medications, and some more familiar, such as the steroid dexamethasone are frequently used for Covid-19 patients with serious respiratory symptoms. These patients require more intensive care and have higher death rates than typical viral pneumonia patients.

Treatment strategy most often includes a mix of anti-inflammatory drugs and blood thinners, a successful blend that is saving lives for the smaller number of patients who need intensive care.

“We are doing better,” said Dr. Tim Cook, an anesthesiology professor at the University of Bristol in England. With similar rates in Europe, Asia, and North America, he refers to death rates from Covid-19 being around 60% in March and declining to around 42% by late May.

Doctors are Getting Betterat Saving COVID-19 Patients

As flu season approaches, the role of the unrelenting COVID-19 is concerning. Without a safe and effective vaccine, COVID-19 containment is limited to social distancing, frequent hand washing, and wearing a mask.

Getting ready for the upcoming flu season, which officially begins in one month, has public health officials and health care professionals scrambling to prepare for what may be an unprecedented situation.

The overlap of COVID-19 and influenza has epidemiologists and some policy makers bracing for what some are calling a “twindemic.”

“The worst-case scenario is both the coronavirus and the flu spreading fast and causing severe disease, which complicates diagnoses and presents a dual burden on the health care system,” says Dr. Thomas Yadegar, Medical Director of the intensive care unit at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center who has been tirelessly treating COVID-19 patients since March.

“Anyone can contract the flu and serious problems related to the flu can happen at any age, but some people are at high risk of developing serious complications if they get sick”, Yadegar affirmed. “People 65 years and older, certain chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and compromised immune

systems, pregnant women and children younger than five years, but especially those younger than two years old are the most at-risk for developing these complications.” Unfortunately,

another population group is now at risk for severe complications of influenza: those with post viral syndrome due to COVID-19.

“Now more than ever, it is essential to get the flu vaccine because flu symptoms are very

similar to those of COVID-19. Preventing the spread of influenza will save lives and help preserve health care resources for people who need it the most.” Yadegar and other physicians remain optimistic as the behavioral changes people have adopted to flatten the curve of COVID-19 could also lessen the impact of the flu.

Over the last 20 years serving as a pulmonary and critical care physician in Los Angeles, Dr. Yadegar has diagnosed and treated a wide range of illnesses. With guidelines now in place for treating COVID-19, he hopes that people add getting the flu vaccine to their regime of helping slow the spread of communicable viruses: “It’s a race to the finish line. My prayers are that we all get there together.”

Now more than ever, it is essential to get the flu vaccine because flu symptoms are very similar to those of COVID-19.

Save Lives - Give BloodThe pandemic has also led to fewer people donating blood, and

the American Red Cross is asking for more individuals to give much-needed donations.

They are located right in Woodland Hills at 6338 Variel Avenue. Call (800) 733-2767 to make an appointment to donate blood or platelets.

Varenita Simi Valley Offering Zoom Programs, Introductions

By Allie PrioreHappy September! Hope you

survived that little heat wave we had. As the summer season comes to a close and the fall weather slowly begins, there is one thing that does not leave with the season change – and that thing is mosquitos.

These pesky little creatures unfortunately stay with us and boy, are they ruthless. Almost everyone I know has been victim to mosquito bites this summer so I figured I could share some tips and tricks to try and prevent bites from happening and what to do if you are the unfortunate recipient of one.

As we find ourselves spending more time outdoors due to the beautiful summer nights, COVID-friendly activities or pool days, it is important to take the proper precautions to protect yourself. Here are some ways you can try and prevent yourself from being bitten:

1. Citronella candles.You can find these candles at almost any department or grocery store. They are easy and convenient and help deter mosquitos and other bugs from coming near you.

2. Rid your home of any standing water – mosquitos breed in pools of water so check for buckets containing water, old flower pots with water, etc. and be sure to dump them.

3. Wear loose fitting clothing – if possible try not to wear clothes that are skin tight and made of thin materials.

4. Use lavender or eucalyptus oil/spray – these scents are unappealing to mosquitos so spritzing yourself with a mist or essential oil can help deter them from coming near.

5. Use bug repellent – my favorite brand is DEET. I kid you not I put it on every single time I am outside regardless for how long. I have successfully avoided being a feeding ground for mosquitos these past few months. It does have a strong scent, but I find for me it works best and is worth it.

Now unfortunately, some people just release that certain pheromone and have that sweet blood mosquitos crave. So if you have tried your hardest but are

Fight the Bite! still finding yourself with some bites, have no fear. These bites can be painful, itchy and swell but usually within a few days those symptoms begin to lessen. (I have had my fair share of bites that turn red, swollen, and become a welt but if at any point you think your bite may be infected or you begin to feel ill be sure to call your doctor!) Below are some ways you can help relieve the pain and itch of your bites and begin your healing journey:

1. Take an oatmeal bath –

you can buy premade bath packets at any drug store (I like the Aveeno brand) and trust me when I say it is a soothing experience. It really helps calm the discomfort from the bites while also helping you relax.

2. Ice your bites - I find when my bites are swollen and painful that icing them helps to alleviate that pain. It helps reduce the inflammation as well.

3. Take an antihistamine – To help reduce the inflammation from your bites you can take Benadryl or use an over the counter lotion such as Calamine over the affected area.

4. Use a cream – look for creams with lidocaine and cortisone in them for maximum relief. Sometimes I will use a combo of both for the ultimate numbing and anti-itch effect.

**These are just a few ways to treat your bites and help bring some relief. Again, if you notice anything unusual at the affected area be sure to check with your doctor in case it has become infected and needs to be treated.

Mosquitos are such nags and they are here to stay. Try one or more of the preventative measures and see if you can find what works best for you. If you find yourself needing treatment, I hope one of my suggestions is helpful to you. Good luck. Stay safe, healthy and bite free!

Unfortunately, some just release that certain pheromone and have that sweet blood mosquitos crave.

ANNE OLIVIER - ACTING SENIOR LIBRARIAN

Valley News Group: How has coronavirus most impacted your field of work?

Anne: The library has really had to re-invent itself, since we can no longer be a physical gathering space. Most Los Angeles Public Library locations remain completely closed to the public, but some do offer “Library to Go” pick up service. Out of our 73 library locations, 20 are open for patrons to pick up books they’ve put on hold.

We have three pickup branches here in the West Valley region; Northridge, Woodland Hills and West Valley Regional. Patrons place holds on items in our system and make an appointment to come and pick them up right outside our front door.

VNG: What is the most surprising obstacle that you have had to face in the midst of this pandemic?

Anne: I was pleasantly surprised by the huge response we got from patrons almost immediately after we began our pick up service. It’s wonderful, but it resulted in such a tsunami of phone calls for appointments that we had to recruit a few of our telecommuting staff to field calls virtually.

VNG: What is the most dramatic change you’ve had to make in your library?

Anne: Closing our doors to the public is the most dramatic change, but we’ve also had to make adjustments for having

Behind the Mask - A Valley News Group Series

fewer staff working in the building. We work in two teams of five staff members working on different days, so that we can socially distance at work. We have a wonderful and close-knit staff, and I miss being able to see everyone in person.

VNG: Has this pandemic changed your perspective of the industry you’re in?

Anne: I have a newfound sense of how flexible the library is in changing our service model, and how much we can provide patrons virtually. I do think it’s amazing how adaptable we’ve proven to be.

We’re offering some great online programs for all ages. Also, many of our staff have been performing Disaster Service Work, helping out at testing sites, hotel housing, the senior meal hotline, and now contact tracing. In fact, our branch manager is contact tracing and that’s why I’m filling in as Acting Senior at our branch.

SHERRY KEOWEN AND SUSAN RENICK - REALTORS

Valley News Group: How has coronavirus most impacted your field of work?

S&S: It has dramatically changed the way we do business because of the strict requirements to keep everyone safe. Guidelines require us to wear face coverings, booties and provide hand sanitizer plus additional forms need to be signed to enter properties.

VNG: What is the most surprising obstacle that you have had to face in the midst of this pandemic?

S&S: The restrictions regarding contact with clients. and not being allowed to hold public and broker open houses.

VNG: What is the most dramatic change you’ve had to make in your business?

S&S: Individualized showings for each party, no overlapping of showings with a maximum of three people at a time. For example: having 15 parties in one day wanting to view a property can take up a full day. In the past those 15 showings could have been facilitated within a three-hour open house.

VNG: Has this pandemic changed your perspective of the industry you’re in?

S&S: Yes it sure has, it has shown us that we are fully capable of adapting quickly to new ways of servicing our clients.

VNG: How do you want this

experience to change you or change your business moving forward?

S&S: We are getting better at utilizing technology to the fullest! Providing virtual tours, staging, matterport etc.

VNG: What is giving you hope right now? S&S: We are experiencing a dramatic increase

in business because of the pent up need to buy and sell. Our listings are selling quickly and in multiple offer situations because of the lack of inventory and our buyers want to take advantage of the low interest rates.

By Conni PonturoLately, I have spoken to more

summits than usual because they are virtual, and I don’t need to travel. I’ve also been featured on 20 podcasts and spoken to a variety of new clients around the world on Zoom. But, by the end of the day, I am fatigued and spent.

I can’t be the only one, right? Don’t get me wrong, I

love the new connections and opportunities, but my brain is simply fried some days. I feel like I can’t sit in front of the computer another minute. What should I do?

More people have Googled the words “Zoom Fatigue” since March. I don’t think it was even a word before then. But now it’s real. Here are a few reasons why:

1. We are so focused on the screen showing or maybe feigning interest that over time it’s exhausting.

2. We go from meeting to meeting without taking breaks or eating lunch. Remember the good old days when we drove our cars?

3. On video it is hard to notice body language and read what is happening on people’s faces.

4. We are sitting for way too long.

5. Our poor necks and lower backs are not supported and

screaming.What can we do? Here, are

a few of my suggestions to help fight Zoom fatigue:

1. Get up from your desk every hour, walk around and

even if it’s on Zoom or on the phone. We need to be socially distant not emotionally distant.

6. List everything you are grateful for and place it near your computer so you can see and add to your list often.

7. Meditate, wake up and spend five minutes in silence.

8. Our lives have changed so much but try to take care of yourself first.

Try some of these techniques, they have helped me, and I think they could help you too!

drink some water.2. Make sure there are

breaks in your schedule and go outside to walk and stretch.

3. Exercise first thing in the morning, go for a walk around the neighborhood, or do Pilates, yoga, run, swim, or anything to stay active before you sit down.

4. Plan lunch as part of your schedule or go out somewhere and grab food.

5. Connect with friends

are far removed from the people they help. A lot of billionaires have been bad stewards - most of the money they give is based on more prominence for themselves - or guilt.”

“There’s nothing wrong with giving to a cause that fights disease, or helps in disasters,” Jodi explained further. “But we believe that the wealthy need to think about the hard-working people that make up this county.”

According to Greg, The Change Reaction is more of a philosophy than a non-profit, though it’s a registered 501c3. Their goal is to get the community moving - from a hyper-local level.

They have laid the groundwork and now support 35 local organizations with funds to give direct grants to those individuals they serve.

One great example is their partnership with the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission. The Change Reaction has helped numerous families moving into permanent housing with deposits, furniture or appliances. They have helped 30 to 40 families move out of the shelter.

They helped residents of the building in Northridge that burned down on the 4th of July with refrigerators and furnishings.

Their goal is small giving, and they hope to do 10,000 grants this year in Los Angeles.

“It’s the most empowering way to give - we pass the ability to

decide to nurses, social workers, caregivers and heads of local charities, and let them identify those that need financial help. If Dad is in the hospital, how do we pay the rent? If a student needs a car repair to get to college, how will he pay for it? How do we get out of a 200% loan?

The suggestions come fast

changed somewhat due to the pandemic, and through their partnership with Councilmen Bob Blumenfield and John Lee, through JFLA they are giving no-interest loans to small businesses in the community.

“When those loans get paid back, the money goes straight out again to help someone else,” Greg explained. “Giving on a large scale is so worthy, but disconnected in that it will take years and years to solve a problem or find a cure. We change people’s lives every day by giving them a small boost up to get to the next level.”

The Perlmans are determined to move a significant amount of their wealth back into the community. All they ask in return is a thank you note from the recipient.

“We have social workers calling us crying. We have recipients call us crying,” said Jodi. “They can’t believe someone would help them with a car payment, or rental arrears.”

The Perlmans have big goals for their small giving approach.

Greg explained. “We need to move the needle, and let the world see what’s going on, and how easy it is to help. We’re working through the kinks, but would love to expand this idea to other donors, and other communities. Imagine the magic if we could start doing this town by town across the country.”

and furious to them from their 35 partners - up to 10 emails a day - and Greg and Jodi review each and every one. The average grant is $1300, but can go higher.

When asked how they balance the foundation with their very busy day jobs, Jodi said, “I love my stores, but this is the real work that makes us happy every day.” And it’s not to say she doesn’t use her local retail presence to help out. “Soto was not exempt from coronavirus,” Jodi said. “But we have to save Ventura Boulevard! I’ll go door to door if I have to asking who needs help. Are you ok?”

As of now the focus has

your library moving forward? Anne: One positive aspect of the current situation, which I’d like to

see going forward, is more patrons discovering the wealth of resources we offer online. I hope patrons will continue to discover and use our databases, take advantage of our online classes and use our online tutoring service.

VNG: What is giving you hope right now? Anne: It’s so encouraging to me to see the overwhelming continued

patronage and support of the library. I’m looking forward to the day when we can open our doors and greet everyone and welcome them back!

Demand Experience - Expect ExcellenceBuying or Selling... We Make Your Dreams Come True!

By Neill SimmonsThe highlight of this month

is the double “conjunction” on the last weekend of September. On Friday the 25th, the Moon will be very close to the bright planet Jupiter. Then on Saturday, the 26th, the Moon will appear to be next to Saturn. It is interesting to see how far the Moon moves in just one night! Look south after dark which will be about 8:00 p.m.

If you have binoculars or a small telescope, take a look at Jupiter and Saturn. It is fun to see the four major moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Jupiter at last count has 79 moons. Saturn has 82 moons. Look for its biggest moon, Titan, which is bigger than the planet Mercury!

If you are up after 11 pm, look east and watch the red planet Mars rise to the zenith of the night sky. Three space ships are traveling right now to Mars. The Chinese and the UAE (United Arab Emirates) space vehicles are on their way, as is our new Rover, “Perseverance,” which is scheduled to land on Feb. 18, 2021. It will be very exciting when it lands. Then the Rover will launch the first drone on the planet Mars. It will be tested by the tough conditions of a very thin atmosphere which could make it crash. Meanwhile, here on Earth, watch each night as Mars grows bigger and brighter

Nighttrek Report: What to See in the September Skyand wider as Oct. 13 nears. This is the night that Mars and Earth are at their closest point.

FUN FACT: Earth takes one year to go around the Sun, while Mars takes 2 years. Thus, once

every two years we get very close to each other. By the way, the planet Neptune takes almost 165 years to go around the Sun!

Speaking of Neptune, try to see the blue planet on September the 17th when it will be at its brightest. Binoculars are a must in order to spot this blue dot. Look in the constellation Aquarius to spot Neptune.

The planet Mercury which is a little bigger than our Moon, is easy to spot at the end of September. Look low in the west 25 minutes after the Sun sets at about 7:50 p.m.

Dawn Patrol: If you are up at 5:00 a.m go out and look due east to see the dazzling planet Venus. Also in the east is the famous Orion constellation rising. Overhead

is the red planet Mars getting brighter and wider each dawn.

Every night in September look straight up after dark to see the famous “Northern Cross”

and the giant “ S u m m e r Triangle.” If you get away from city lights, notice the great arch of the Milky Way runs through both of these star patterns. In the s o u t h w e s t watch the f a m o u s constellation

Scorpius as it sets before 10:00 p.m. Also, the “Big Dipper” is very low in the north, but the “Little Dipper” is at its highest point in the north. Try to find the North Star. The North Star is not the brightest star and is located at the end of the Little Dipper’s handle. Remember, it is the only star that does not move and always signals true north.

NOTICE OF INTENT to adopt aMITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION for the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District

Twin Lakes Water Storage Tank and Pump Station Upgrades Project

The Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (District) prepared an Initial Study for the Twin Lakes Water Storage Tank and Pump Station Upgrades Project. Based on the information contained in the Initial Study, the District intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The District is the CEQA Lead Agency for the project.

Project Location: The project site is located in unincorporated Los Angeles County, in the northwestern San Fernando Valley. The project site is an existing water tank site, located just north of SR 118 and east of Iverson Road. The project would also install additional pumping equipment at an existing pump station located in the City of Los Angeles, within the northern portion of Chatsworth Park South, approximately 0.25 mi. west of the western terminus of Germain St. The approximate latitude/longitude of the existing water tank site is Latitude 34.278957°N, Longitude -118.612256°W

Project Description: The District operates the Twin Lakes Water Tank site for storage of potable water supplies, which includes a 400,000 gallon storage tank and a 1.6 million gallon storage tank. The existing water tanks are located within an approximately 0.9-acre fenced site that is accessed from Iverson Road via an unpaved driveway. The District also operates the Twin Lakes Pump Station, located approximately 1.1 miles southwest of the water tank site, which is an approximately 0.25-acre fenced site currently developed with existing pumping equipment. The pump station facility is connected to the water tank site by an existing underground pipeline. The project would replace the smaller existing water tank with a 1.0 million gallon storage tank, for a net increase of 600,000 gallons in holding capacity, and upgrade pumping capacity of the Twin Lakes Pump Station. The purpose of the project is to provide additional storage capacity and ensure adequate pressure to serve the Deerlake Ranch residential development currently under construction approximately 0.8 miles east of the water tank site. Construction of the new storage tank would require grading on the site to widen the building pad and lower the elevation by approximately six feet. Approximately 3,000 cubic yards of soil materials would be exported from the site during construction. The proposed pump station upgrades would include additional pumps and associated equipment including an emergency use generator.

Environmental Effects: The Initial Study describes potentially significant impacts of the proposed project on biological resources, cultural/paleontological resources, noise and traffic. Mitigation measures have been defined to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. Other effects found to be less than significant are also described in the Initial Study.

Public Review of the Initial Study / Proposed MND: The 30-day public review period will commence on September 10, 2020 and conclude on October 10, 2020. An electronic version of the Initial Study may be viewed online at Las Virgenes Municipal Water District’s website:
