Meeting Place for Neighborhood Watch
IF anyone could please help with finding a meeting place. This would be so helpful. I have heard that we can meet at the Corner Store.
Hi Carol, I would offer my home, but I can't fit more
than 10 or 12 people with the way my house is
designed. What about the Cabrillo bath house? It has
a very nice meeting room or the WigWam Indian room,
again a very nice meeting place, or would Angels Gate
give us a room? Or does anyone have a connection with
Fort MacArthur?? Maybe put it on the blog to see if
someone does, they might give us a room.

DWP Street Lights / Tree Trim
If there is a tree blocking your Tax-paid streelight from shining on the street/cars, call DWP at 1-818-342-5397 or Toll Free 1-800-DIAL-DWP (1-800-342-5397). This would be for street lights on wooden telephone poles. The cement and steel poles are city of los angeles, call 311 for assistance.
In either case, explain to the operator that your tax paid, utility bill surcharge, street light illumination is being blocked by overgrown tree, they will come out and trim within 48 hours at no charge.

Step 2: Physical Security- Shrubbery Trim
The second portion of creating a safe, comfortable home is to trim all greenery away from windows and doors.
This is essential so that there a no "hidden" spots where someone can hide while forcing or breaking entry into your home. When trying to break in to a home, crooks try to use the elements such as overgrown shrubs, hedges, bushes, and trees to their advantage.
So, just trim back so that no one can hide next to your property and use your landscaping to hide their activities. This can be done while maximizing curb appeal. Many homes in the neighborhood are beautiful, but have overgrown greenery that needs to be trimmed back.
So, with spring here, it's the perfect time to trim back.

Coastal Neighborhood Council Meeting, Monday 2/25, 6:30 p.m. at the Marina Community Center -
Scott Arnold, Scott Humbert and Abe Aviles will be making a presentation to the Coastal Neighborhood Council. Our neighborhood watch is seeking funds for cameras and other safety items to deter with the crimes, especially graffiti, in our area. Cameras are a legal way to prevent criminal activity as long as they record public areas only. It was decided a number of ways could determine the placement of the cameras/lights, etc:
flier to the area seeking problem areas and types of crimes being committed
ask Officer Joe Busciano about crimes reported in our area and where
light alleys and any other dark areas
ask property owners to donate rooftops for camera placement & internet connection cost appx .50 month
ask Fort Mac if they would install cameras on their property
ask Cox/phone companies to allow camera placement on poles & for internet access - good PR for them!
put up signs "You are being filmed"
ask Park Services how many officers are assigned to Point Fermin Park, how often do they patrol,
can more lights be placed in the park?
Suggestions homeowners can do to protect their property:
- report crimes
- install motion sensor lights
- keep trees and shrubs trimmed
- walk the neighborhood and meet your neighbors!
- report abandoned cars and parked motorhomes
- have DWP install more lights, cost appx $1 a day
- anti-graffiti paint costs about $80 a gallon, but paint washes away

Next meeting to be Wednesday, March 19, 6:30 p.m. Meeting place to be determined. We would like to keep meeting place in our area, does anyone have a contact with Point Fermin School to see if we could meet there? Any other suggestions?
Meeting adjourned 7:30 p.m.
