As leaves on the trees at Poncitlán Square turn into a beautiful array of colors, it signals to us that the seasons are indeed changing. Well, the seasons aren’t the only things changing this fall in Palmdale. Probably the biggest change is in our General Municipal Election which will be held Tuesday, November 8. This will mark the first election in Palmdale with districts for City Council seats. You may learn more about this change on page 11 of the Magazine. We’re also introducing a new special event that I know you’ll enjoy. It’s called Kaleidoscope and it is a fun-filled music and arts extravaganza for all ages that’s coming to the Palmdale Amphitheater on October 8. Details are on page 14. As an animal lover, I am excited to announce Yellen Park is now under construction, which includes the City’s first dog park. Changes to City codes are also underway to allow for pet hotels in Palmdale, and the first new Animal Shelter built by the County in 45 years has opened to care for our furry friends. You may even get the opportunity to adopt-a-pet at our City Council meetings! Finally, changes are happening all around the landscape of Palmdale. Right now, tens of millions of dollars are being invested into our economy with the construction of two new hotels, a Carmax auto showroom and refurbishment center, two charter schools and the Palmdale campus of Antelope Valley College. Several other large projects are in the planning stages and will soon be under construction. It’s going to be a great fall for sure, New! and I invite you to take advantage of all the programs, classes, events and shopping opportunities Palmdale has to offer. Sincerely, James Purtee City Manager PALMDALE | commerce Shopping Online?

September-December 2016 | Community | 9 PALMDALE | community Rancho Vista Boulevard Overlay The City of Palmdale has 504 miles of roads, totaling over 91.8 million square feet of asphalt. Regular maintenance of roads is an important part of the City’s ongoing Capital Improvement Projects. One recent road project was the $1.8 million cape seal program, which took place in several neighborhoods throughout the City. Cape sealing is a pavement preservation method that gives roads an additional 10 to 12 years of life before they will need to be revisited. The City will soon begin resurfacing Rancho Vista Blvd. from 30th St. West to Ave. N-8. This $1.5 million road investment will provide an additional 20 years before the area will need to be revisited. These two projects combined will cover approximately seven percent of the City’s total road inventory. More projects will be underway in the future. You’re Invited to Attend City Meetings Palmdale City Council meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month beginning at 7 pm. Palmdale Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of the month beginning at 7 pm. The Board of Library Trustees meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm. These meetings take place at the Council Chamber, 38300 Sierra Highway, Suite B. 10 | Community | September-December 2016 Preventing Illegal Dumping In the final report of a three part series, the City will highlight its efforts in the prevention of illegal dumping. With grant funding assistance from CalRecycle, the City had a customized app created by the developers of the MyWaste App. The MyWaste App not only helps keeps track of street sweeping and trash/recycling collection days, but it also allows you to report illegal dumping and other issues. The app allows users to send photos and the GPS location of dumping sites which helps staff track locations. Another way the City is combating illegal dumping is through our voucher program with Waste Management. Each residential customer receives two vouchers per year good for free disposal of up to one ton of solid waste at the Palmdale Landfill. Waste Management also provides bulky item pick up services to all residential accounts, allowing customers to place up to four bulky items curbside for pickup, four times a year, at no cost. The Antelope Valley Environmental Collection Center provides free recycling and disposal of your household hazardous waste and electronic waste on the first and third Saturday of each month from 9 am to 3 pm. In addition, the City meets quarterly with the Antelope Valley Illegal Dumping Task Force, which includes individuals from the County and surrounding neighborhoods. The Task Force discusses outreach approaches and alternative ways to problem solve this on-going issue. They partnered with Joel Greene on his award-winning television show, Curiosity Quest Goes Green, for a special episode on illegal dumping. This video is available at the Palmdale City Library. Other ways the City works to get the message out about illegal dumping is through press releases, social media, our website, and through informative public service announcements which you may watch on YouTube by searching for “Palmdale Illegal Dumping.” Despite all the time, staff, and financial resources put into preventing illegal dumping, we need your help to put an end to it. All of us have a duty to keep our desert beautiful. After all, it is the place we call home. For more information, please visit www.cityofpalmdale.org/Businesses/Public-Works/Environmental.
