City SERVICE HOTLINES
The City of Lynwood’s
emergency weekend and
after-hour hotlines:
Graffiti Removal
(877) 444-6044
lection day rapidly approaches. Much attention
is given to the major races – President, Senator,
Congressional representatives and statewide
measures. But further down on the ballot, Lynwood
residents have an opportunity to speak on one issue
that will have a significant impact on the quality
of life for all residents. Measure PS (and Measure
RD), if approved, open up many possibilities for the
preservation and protection of our quality of life.
Lynwood has a total of 93 miles of streets in
the city,and at least 62 miles are in need of repairs.
Some of the needed repairs are critical to prevent
further deterioration that in some cases can impede
mobility through the city. In addition to the miles of
streets in need of repair, we have miles of sidewalks
also in need of repairs. The most recent estimates
put the cost of needed repairs at $135 million. Some
of this need will be met by Measure PS.
Budget limitations make it difficult for the city
to address or fix all streets and sidewalks. Should the
voters approve Measure PS, Council members will
direct a substantial portion of the dollars raised to
infrastructure development and maintenance. Other
areas that will benefit from adoption of Measure
PS include: Streets. Sidewalks. Water wells. Water
delivery system. Tree trimming. ADA compliance.
Public parks. Recreation facilities and programs
for all ages. Public safety and fire protection. The
inability to protect its infrastructure and public safety
services can impact Lynwood residents in many
expected and unexpected ways.
Voting by mail is now underway. Registered
voters have no reason to wait until November 8th to
make their wishes known on what the city’s future
may hold. Voters who oppose the measure will need
to vote NO. Lynwood voters may adopt Measure PS
by casting a YES vote in favor of the measure.

| Un Lynwood Mejor – Medidas PS y RD
E
l día de las elecciones se acerca rápidamente. Se está
prestando mucha atención a las votaciones principales:
Presidente, Senador, representantes del Congreso
y las medidas estatales. Pero más allá de las votaciones,
los residentes de Lynwood tendrán la oportunidad de
ser escuchados en un tema que puede tener un impacto
significativo en la calidad de vida de todos los residentes. Si
se aprueba la Medida PS (y la Medida RD) se abrirán muchas
posibilidades para la preservación y protección de la calidad
de vida.
Lynwood tiene un total of 93 millas de calles en
la ciudad, de las cuales por lo menos 62 millas necesitan
reparaciones. Algunas de las reparaciones necesarias son
críticos para prevenir más deterioro y, en algunos casos,
puede impedir la movilidad en la ciudad. Además de las
millas de calles que necesitan reparaciones, tenemos
millas de aceras que también necesitan reparaciones. Los
cálculos estimados más recientes indican que el costo de las
reparaciones necesarias es de $135 millones.
Las limitaciones en el presupuesto dificultan que la
ciudad solucione o arregle las calles y aceras. Si los votantes
aprueban la Medida PS, los miembros del Municipio pueden
dirigir una porción considerable de los dólares recaudados al
desarrollo de infraestructura y mantenimiento. Las áreas que
se beneficiarían de la adopción de la Medida PS incluyen:
Calles. Aceras. Pozos de agua. Sistema de provisión de agua.
Poda de árboles. Cumplimiento de ADA. Parques públicos.
Instalaciones y programas recreativos para todas las
edades. Seguridad pública y protección contra incendios.
La incapacidad de proteger su infraestructura y los servicios
de seguridad pública puede afectar a los residentes de
Lynwood en muchas maneras esperadas e inesperadas.
El voto por correo está ahora en curso. Los votantes
registrados no tienen razón de esperar hasta el 8 de
noviembre para hacer conocer sus deseos sobre el futuro de
la ciudad. Los votantes que se oponen a la medida tendrán
que votar NO. Los votantes de Lynwood pueden adoptar la
Medida PS deberán votar SÍ en favor de la medida.

egardless of the year, make
R
or model, every vehicle is a
potential target for theft and/or
burglary. Authorities recommend
a layered approach to protection.
The more layers of protection on
your vehicle, the more difficult it
is to steal.
The common sense approach
to protection is the simplest
and most effective way to deter
would-be thieves. No cost
precautions include:
• Always lock your car and close
windows
• Remove your keys from the
vehicle and never leave
vehicle running unattended
• Never leave valuables in
vehicle or in plain sight
• Park in well-lit areas
• Report suspicious activity Call 911
you’ll feel good knowing you’ve helped
change a life.
a special reason to give blood. You just need
your own reason. Some of
us give blood because we
were asked by a friend. Some
know that a family member
or a friend might need blood
some day. Some believe it is
the right thing we do.
The City of Lynwood will be hosting a blood
drive on Wednesday, November
23, 2016 from 9am-3pm at the
Community Center in Room #2,
11301 Bullis Road, Lynwood CA
90262.

an appointment to donate, send
email to Rozie at rcarrillo@

CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit

Blood is the most precious
gift that anyone can give
to another person — the
gift of life. A decision to
donate your blood can save
a life, or even several if your
blood is separated into its
components — red cells,
platelets and plasma — which
can be used individually
for patients with specific
conditions. Whatever your reason, the need is
constant and your contribution is important
for a healthy and reliable blood supply. And
The second layer of protection is
a visible or audible device which
alerts thieves that your vehicle is
protected. Popular second layer
device include:
• Steering wheel locks, brake
pedal locks, hood locks
• Alarm systems
• License plates locks, tire and
wheel locks
• Theft deterrent decals
• Identification markers in or on
vehicle
• Window etching with Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN)
The third layer of protection is
a device which prevents thieves
from bypassing your ignition
and hot-wiring the vehicle.
Some Electronic devices have
computer chips in ignition keys.
Other devices inhibit the flow of
electricity or fuel to the engine
until a hidden switch or button
is activated. Popular third layer
devices include:
• Starter, Ignition and fuel kill
switches
• Smart Keys
• Wireless Ignition
authentication
• Fuse cut-offs
• Immobilizers and Pass keys
The final layer of protection is
an electronic tracking device
which emits a signal to police
or monitoring station when
the vehicle is stolen. Tracking
devices are very effective in
helping authorities recover stolen
vehicles. www.crimestoppers.

Whooo is Block Watch?
he City of Lynwood’s Neighborhood
Block Watch Organization is a strong
group of Lynwood residents who work under
the philosophy of creating better, safer
neighborhoods throughout the City. While the
organization has been around for more than
30 years, and is driven by an active group of
Lynwood residents, the group of more than 50
Block Watch Captains still isn’t enough to cover
the entire City of Lynwood.
Block Watch Captains are captains for their
block only and while most Captains will advise
other neighborhoods that need their help, the
Neighborhood Block Watch Organization is in
need of more Block Watch Captains.
The City of Lynwood’s Neighborhood
Block Watch Organization works toward creating
safer living conditions for the community as a
whole. Based on a partnership between the City
of Lynwood and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department’s Century Station, the City’s active
Neighborhood Block Watch Organization embraces
the philosophy of community policing, identifying,
reducing, eliminating and preventing behaviors/
crimes that impact community safety and order.
At a time when community organizations
have been credited all across the country for
helping to lower crime rates, it is safe to say that
crime prevention starts in one’s home, in our
neighborhood and in our cities. Zeroing in on crime
takes involvement. Whether it’s more involvement
from law enforcement agencies or local
municipalities putting their foot down on crime
or groups of residents who have just had enough
with crime, it is community policing that makes a
difference.
If there isn’t already a program in your
neighborhood and you’re interested in stepping
up to the plate and starting one, call the City of
Lynwood’s Neighborhood Block Watch Program at
(310) 603-0220 Ext. 505.

LYNWOOD BUSINESS
Bridging the Gap
One
Penny at a time.
It’s time to vote! Lynwood residents will have an
opportunity to be heard on one issue that can
have a significant impact on the quality of life for
all residents. Measure PS (and the accompanying
Measure RD), will open up many possibilities for
the preservation and protection of our residents’
quality of life.
Budget limitations make it difficult for the city to
address or fix streets and sidewalks. Should the
voters approve Measure PS, Council members
intend to direct a substantial portion of the dollars
raised through Measure PS to infrastructure
development and maintenance and a number of
other areas.
MEASURE PS
MEASURE RD
Areas that would benefit from adoption of
Measure PS include:
Streets
Sidewalks
Water wells
Water delivery system
Tree trimming
ADA compliance
Public parks
Recreation facilities and programs
Public safety and fire protection
The inability to protect its infrastructure and
public safety services can impact Lynwood
residents in many expected and unexpected
ways.
Registered voters have until November 8th to make their wishes known on what the city’s
future may hold. Voters who oppose the measure will need to vote NO. Lynwood voters may
adopt Measure PS by casting a YES vote in favor of the measure.
