4 issues in environment
Lone Hill Park watershed management project
A regional stormwater management project at Lone Hill Park was up for environmental clearance and conceptual design approval. It could improve water quality and park facilities, with final design dependent on construction funding.
Trash Wranglers equipment support
San Dimas High School students running the Trash Wranglers cleanup club asked the city to help sponsor trash pickers and gear — they've grown to about 60 members but ran out of tools. Rotarian Raymond Foster offered to help connect them with funding, and the council voted to add the group's needs to a future agenda.
Wildlife-Crossing Signage on Route 66
After a mountain lion was handled three houses from his home, Councilmember Vienna asked staff to research wildlife-crossing signage on Route 66 within 18 weeks, noting a history of horse, coyote, and mountain lion incidents between San Dimas Avenue and San Dimas Canyon Road.
Waste Management performance and SB 1383 compliance
San Dimas is only diverting about 45% of residential and 14% of commercial organic waste, risking state fines. A grant-funded contract with Go2Zero Strategies will fund targeted education — including for multifamily properties dealing with contamination fees — with enforcement as a last resort.
