• Assemble a small evacuation kit (see Shop for Your Kit).

• Walk your escape route—consider whatyou would do at night or in stormyweather.

• Make a reunification plan with your loved ones.

• Discuss plans with family, coworkers and neighbors.

Volunteers pulled weedsat Ellwood Mesa.Theymade progress in elimi-nating the the Plantagolanceolata weed popula-tion due to the sharpbotanical eyes and hardwork of the volunteer crewwhich included students,residents, representativesfrom local businesses, Citystaff and elected officials.

THE GOLETA POLICE DEPARTMENT conductedtwo sobriety checkpoints in June 2010 in acontinuing effort to improve traffic safety.Sobriety or DUI (driving while intoxicated)checkpoints involve a stop by a police officerwho then verifies that you are following the lawsfor driving a vehicle.

During these recent checkpoints over fifteenhundred drivers were screened. Three werearrested for alcohol related violations. Two werearrested for driving under the influence of alco-hol. The other driver was arrested for beingunder the legal drinking age of twenty one anddriving with alcohol in his system. Twenty-sevenvehicles were towed and another ten criminalcitations were issued.

Sobriety checkpoints are designed to preventdrivers from driving under the influence of alco-hol. We encourage an alternative plan for trans-portation such as designating a non-drinkingdriver or calling a taxi when you plan to partake.While drinking alcohol and then driving is notillegal, driving while impaired is against the lawand the penalties are steep. It’s also important tonote that certain combinations of prescriptiondrugs may also impact your ability to drive in asafe manner. Impairment means different thingsfor different bodies and we encourage you totake precautions for the safety of all.

Checkpoints will continue to be conducted withan additional grant the Santa Barbara CountySheriff’s Department received which providespublic safety services to the City. Be safe and smart. Don’t drink and drive.

Don’t Dump: Protect Our Storm WaterDid you know that Goleta’s storm watersystem consists of ditches, swales, pipes,curbs, catch basins and other drainagefeatures that are designed to collect orconvey storm water? Did you know thatmost of this storm water then runs offinto our creeks and ocean?

If you observe something other thanstorm water being poured or allowed toflow into Goleta’s storm water system,this may be an “illicit discharge.”Rinsing paint brushes out on yourdriveway and/or putting trash into

drains are examples of an “illicit dis-charge.” These can be a source of waterpollution, harming aquatic life, causingunpleasant odors and creating publichealth concerns. Goleta is committed toidentifying and eliminating these dis-charges. Goleta is committed to identi-fying and eliminating these dischargesbut we need your help!

Please report anything that seems suspi-cious by calling the Storm Water Hot Lineat 961.7570.

Goleta Submits Storm Water Report to Water BoardThe City recently completed the firstyear of its Storm Water ManagementPlan and submitted the requiredAnnual Report to the Central CoastRegional Water Quality Control Board.The report documented the actions andactivities accomplished over the lastyear to implement the plan. Some ofthe more notable accomplishmentsinclude: the formation of the City’sStorm Water Community InterestGroup; strengthening the City’s StormWater Discharge Ordinance; establish-ing a new Storm Water Hotline(961.7570); basic storm water training

for all City staff; several creek cleanupevents; and continuing efforts to identi-fy and eliminate non-storm water dis-charges to our local waterways.

During the coming year, the City’sstorm water effort will focus on meetingspecialized staff training needs, outreachto the business community, enhanceddata tracking and documentation.
