S P R I N G 2016 CITY NEWS City’s Dog Park Offers Opportunity for Exercise, Socialization A City Debuts New Website We are pleased to announce that our new Website is here! Visitors will immediately be greeted by bright colors and an uncluttered homepage that’s more attractive, easier to navigate and lets residents customize their experience. The website cityofrsm.org underwent an extensive re-design process by CivicPlus, a leading government website provider. Citizens and their local government will be able to communicate, report and interact through computers or mobile devices in an updated and user-friendly layout. The website features responsive design technology to increase the functionality of the Citizen Request Tracker® (CRT), which is used extensively by residents. The website and CRT feature are now accessible via any mobile device allowing residents to report a need for service or repairs in the City without the need of a personal computer. The vibrant and colorful redesign improves site navigation, offering easy access to the City information most requested by residents and the public, such as “How do I?,” “News,” “Community Connection,” “Ask the Mayor,” and “Class Registration”. The site is also integrated with the City’s social media accounts, creating a social network “springboard” to invite easy participation in the City’s online community. 2 www.cityofrsm.org park designed and maintained especially for dogs – one might assume that off-leash parks are primarily for the benefit of our four-legged friends, but frequent dog park users know better. Off-leash parks offer just as many benefits to humans as they do to dogs; both to dog owners as well as the broader community. The City of Rancho Santa Margarita's Dog Park is located at Canada Vista Park, approximately one mile from Oso Parkway. The Dog Park is open to the public free of charge seven days a week from dawn to dusk. The park is unsupervised and hosts a large dog area and a small dog area. Established in 2005, the City Council recognized the need for a facility in our community to promote good canine physical health and socialization, reduce nuisance behaviors, and acknowledge the importance of our canine citizens. A park devoted exclusively to dogs can discourage inappropriate dog use in other family-friendly parks, encourage people to exercise and stimulate social interaction with other people, and accommodate senior citizens and the disabled, who cannot always walk their dogs on leash. Additionally, users of the City’s dog park report that a strong network of people committed to parks, community involvement, the environment, and the welfare and safety of animals is present daily at the Dog Park Amenities Shade (Cabana) Structure Tables and Benches Fencing Trash Canisters Dog Bag Dispensers Dog Drinking Fountain Two play areas with wood chips over compacted soil facility. The availability of an off-leash area also encourages compliance with local leash laws and reduces the number of dogs likely to end up in shelters. Some residents have shared ideas for improvements with the City Council to make the Dog Park even more inviting and enjoyable. Your feedback is appreciated and will help shape the future direction of the park. Visit the City’s website www.cityofrsm.org to participate in an online survey to share your vision for this important community resource. Employee Spotlight The City’s Employee Recognition Program was introduced last year to recognize outstanding service, performance, professionalism and attitude. Employees nominate colleagues who display these characteristics, and an award recipient is recognized each quarter. An “Employee of the Year” is then selected from the four quarterly winners. We are proud to honor Lisa Greci and Sofia Djordjevic, who tied for this inaugural employee recognition! S P R I N G 2016 CITY NEWS Planning and Preparation ~ Essential for El Nino Conditions W ith a strong El Niño on track to bring a wet winter, the City of Rancho Santa Margarita is working proactively to prepare through collaborative training and drill scenarios with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Orange County Fire Authority and contracted public works entities. City storm drains have been cleaned, development projects are regularly inspected, and crews will be available to respond as needed during rain events. The National Weather Climate Prediction Center is reporting a 95% chance that El Niño is on track to make a significant impact through the winter. Forecasters predict a steady rainy season from about January through April. Current conditions and predictions resemble the 1997-98 El Niño, which had a devastating impact on Southern California. With heavy or ongoing rain comes the potential for hazards like flooding, debris flow and mudslides, power outages, downed power lines and trees as well as roof collapses. However, there are steps you can take today to reduce the personal risks and impact on your property. First, learn about the potential hazards that face your property by typing in your address at myhazards.caloes.ca.gov. Next, be sure to: 1. Inspect your property for any damage now and complete any needed repairs to the roof, rain gutters, etc. 2. Have your rain gutters cleaned and cleared of any debris that will cause them to clog when it rains. 3. Trim your trees and bushes. The lack of water due to drought conditions has caused vegetation to become more brittle and susceptible to breakage from wind and rain. 4. Stock up on sandbags now if you think you’ll need them. Sandbags are available at OC Fire Authority Station 45 in Rancho Santa Margarita. 5. Take pictures of your property before El Niño hits and consider purchasing flood insurance if you live in a flood prone area. It can take 30 days for flood insurance to go into effect. Finally, be prepared for the risks associated with El Niño: 1. Prepare for power outages. Have flashlights, extra batteries, and a battery and/or crank-powered radio in your disaster kit. 2. Have enough water for at least 3 days for each person and pet in your house hold: 1 gallon per person/pet per day for drinking. 3. Have enough non-perishable food for at least 3 days. 4. Know what to do in a flood. According to the National Weather Service, 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. Twelve inches of rushing water can carry away a small car, and two feet of rusing water can carry away most vehicles. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters. For more information, contact Emergency Management Coordinator Sarah Barker at sbarker@ocsd.org or 949-635-1800. Local Veterans Honored by City Council Several area veterans gathered in the council chambers at the Rancho Santa Margarita Civic Plaza on Thursday, November 12, as the Rancho Santa Margarita City Council honored them for Veterans Day. The Veterans, whose service spanned decades, were announced in a roll call in a standing room only ceremony. Sonar Man 2nd Class Robert Mulvey began his service in 1943; Purple Heart recipient Frans Vandenbroek, Army, was stationed in South Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. JoAnn Hesson, USMC and Lidia “Marty” Contreras, Army, shared anecdotes about their experiences as women in the armed forces. Also present at the roll call were Jim Clements, US Navy, George Fyhrie, Coast Guard, Michael Mauer, Air Force, James Styles, Marines, Mitch Wang, Marines, and Chris Watts, Navy. For more information, or to participate in next year’s recognition, call Community Services at (949) 216-9700 or visit www.cityofrsm.org. www.cityofrsm.org 3 S P R I N G 2016 CITY NEWS Crime Prevention Protecting Yourself from Scams Charity Scams ■ When a disaster strikes, the scam artists will not be too far behind. Playing off of our desire to help others in need, scammers will call representing bogus charities asking for donations. Unfortunately the money you give may not actually reach those in need. ■ If you are donating money to a charity; donate to a charity you know and trust. Check out the charity with the Better Business Bureau. Never send cash. Don’t give out financial information unless you know the charity is reputable. ■ For more information visit the Federal Trade Commission at www. consumer.ftc.gov. IRS and Tax Scams ■ ■ ■ Scammers will call you and claim to be with the IRS. They will give you a fake name and IRS badge number. The caller may even be able to provide some of your personal information. They will claim you are entitled to a large refund or you owe money immediately. They may even threaten that law enforcement will be at your house within the hour if you do not agree to pay. The IRS will always send notification in writing of any taxes due. They will never request payment information, such as credit card, debit card, or pre-paid card numbers over the telephone or via email. Per the IRS, if you think you may owe taxes, call 1-800-829-1040 and an IRS employee can help you. Utilities and Services Scams ■ You receive a phone call from someone stating they are with the power company. They claim you are behind on your bill. You must pay immediately or they will shut off your power. They then ask you to go to the store and purchase a prepaid credit card. They will call back later to obtain the number. Instead of demanding a prepaid card, they may also ask for personal information and credit card numbers. ■ Be skeptical of those calling and demanding immediate payment without being able to provide you with information only the utility company would know, your account number for example. To avoid being a victim; call the utility company and verify. Use official company sites to pay your bill on-line. Warrants and Fines Scams ■ In a warrant or fine scam, the scammer will call up and claim to be with local law enforcement. They will demand immediate payment for traffic tickets or for an existing warrant in lieu of being arrested. The person will be directed to purchase a pre-paid credit card. The scammer will then call back to get the payment information. ■ To avoid being a victim, hang up immediately and contact law enforcement. A legitimate law enforcement agency would not call and demand money to avoid arrest or for any other circumstances. Tech Support Scams ■ Scam artists will call you and try to break into your computer. The caller will state they are with a well-known company like Microsoft, claiming they have detected viruses or other malware on your computer. They ask you to give them remote access to your computer, or request sensitive information, like passwords. Once access is obtained they will download malicious software to your computer that steals sensitive data, like your financial data and other personal information. They may also ask for credit card information to bill you for the phony services. ■ Microsoft and other companies will not call you to charge you for computer security or software fixes. To avoid being a victim, hang up and call the company yourself. Never reveal your passwords, pin numbers, or other sensitive information over the phone.

The awardees received certificates of recognition on behalf of the City Council. Volunteer of the Year Vanessa Scarbo-Gaudette Vanessa Scarbo-Gaudette was honored for her efforts on behalf of The Bell Tower Foundation. Founded in 2001, the notfor-profit organization partners with local groups to further local philanthropic causes through the distribution of donations and by matching volunteers with organizations whose mission is to support the needy, the unemployed, the underserved, and the next generation in our community. Now serving her second term as the Foundation’s president, she was instrumental in launching the Fellowship in Business Fresh Produce Food Pantry that serves upwards of 200 local families per month. ScarboGaudette’s other accomplishments include management of senior home repair projects, administration of the ZeroTrash program, and coordination of the popular Breakfast with Santa event. Her interest in issues affecting young people inspired her to organize a drug and alcohol panel discussion forum for parents and youth to attend together. Scarbo-Gaudette also regularly donates to and helps gather volunteers for the Marines through Team 2/5 RSM. belltowerfoundation.org Volunteer of the Year Terry Corwin Terry Corwin founded Lion’s Heart in 2004. A national non-profit 501(c)3, Lion’s Heart organizes groups of teens by gender, grade, and location, and assigns one parent to be the Class Coordinator. Each group elects their officers, leads their meetings and decides how to serve the community. Members complete at least 30 hours of community service each year, select the philanthropies they serve with no fundraising and minimal parental involvement. Under Corwin’s leadership, Lion’s Heart has served area organizations including Rotary del Sol, The Bell Tower Foundation, the Bridge Church food pantry, local schools, and at several community events. There are over 4,600 active and graduated Lion’s Heart members across ten states, with 1,195 active members in the Rancho Santa Margarita, Trabuco Canyon, and Ladera Ranch chapters. lionsheartservice.org Business of the Year Selma’s Chicago Pizzeria & Taproom Also honored as 2015’s Business of the Year was Selma’s Chicago Pizzeria & Taproom.

Miller and Phillips are caring, involved owners who consistently demonstrate exceptional character, teamwork, philanthropic effort and overall dedication to others and the Rancho Santa Margarita community. selmaschicagopizzeria.com Special Recognition Rita Palma A special recognition was given to Rita Palma, who owned and operated Romano’s Tailor and Clothier in Rancho Santa Margarita for her outstanding dedication and hard work during her 26 years of business within the City. Romano’s Tailor and Clothier provided customers personalized service in a boutique setting offering bridal gowns, special occasion, and one-of-a- kind dresses, men’s suits, and the finest selection of name brand formal wear in south Orange County. Romano Palma studied the art of elegant tailoring and brought an old-world sense of pride into the fine details of his work. Romano and Rita, originally from Abruzzo, Italy, started their business in 1990 and were partners in business and marriage, and were loved and respected by their customers and the community throughout the years. Mrs. Palma closed the store last year following the passing of her beloved husband. Carolina Tercero, a longtime patron, described the closing of the shop as “a true loss to the community.” Tercero accepted the recognition on behalf of Rita Palma, and City Council members thanked the Palma family for their years of service to Rancho Santa Margarita. www.cityofrsm.org 5 S P R I N G 2016 YOUTH CLASSES Tap, Jazz, Ballet - Level 2 $79 • 6 Classes $99 • 8 Classes * In this intro to dance class, participants will learn moves and terminology for beginning tap, jazz, and ballet.
