City Manager Message
Happy September, San Marino!

It has been nearly six months since the City Council proclaimed a local
emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We probably all hoped things
would be different than they are now, but we are continuing to adapt to our
new normal. The City is also adapting in order to meet the changing needs          CITY of
of our residents and businesses, so I wanted to take this time to give you an      SAN MARINO
update on what the City is going to do to support our community.                   CALIFORNIA
Our top priority is to ensure the safety of our residents, businesses, and em-
ployees while still providing essential City services. The City’s Executive
Team meets frequently to coordinate efforts, update each other on conver-          CITY Council
sations with other agencies, discuss necessary changes or adaptations to our       Gretchen Shepherd Romey
City services and procedures, and proactively plan for the weeks and months        Mayor
ahead. Even though our buildings are currently closed to the public, City          gshepherdromey@cityofsanmarino.org
staff is still working and most business can be conducted by phone, email,
and limited appointments.                                                          Ken Ude
                                                                                   Vice Mayor
The City’s Resident Support Hotline has been up and running since the           kude@cityofsanmarino.org
initial “Safer at Home” order was put in place. Our Hotline staff is here to
assist you with essential services, such as picking up groceries or medication, Steven Huang, D.D.S.
or to provide a face covering if you don’t have one. Please give us a call at   Council Member
626-300-0731 if there is anything we can help you with!                         shuang@cityofsanmarino.org

Our Economic Development team has been working closely with our local        Susan Jakubowski
businesses to ensure they have the support they need during this time. We’ve Council Member
                                                                             sjakubowski@cityofsanmarino.org
provided businesses with special signage and helped them adjust their busi-
ness models to comply with the changing Health Officer Orders.               Steve Talt
                                                                                   Council Member
Our Community Services Department is continuing to provide great pro-              stalt@cityofsanmarino.org
gramming to our City. Be sure to take advantage of the Library’s curbside
pickup program and all of our virtual and in-person recreation activities.
                                                                                   CITY Manager
Even though Los Angeles County has seen an encouraging decline in                  Marcella Marlowe, Ph.D.
COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations recently, this is the time to remain          City Manager
vigilant. As of August 31, there were 75 confirmed COVID-19 cases in San           mmarlowe@cityofsanmarino.org
Marino, and we see a handful of new cases in our City each week. Our path
forward is dependent on reducing community transmission of the virus, and
we all have to do our part to accomplish that goal. I hope we can continue
to count on everyone to wear a face covering, maintain physical distancing,
wash your hands, and most importantly, avoid gathering with people outside
of your household.

Thank you for helping to keep San Marino safe!

A Message from Police Chief John Incontro

I want to begin this message with a word of thanks to the San Marino community
who has shown support to the members of the San Marino Police Department. Your
words of encouragement, thanks and thoughtful gestures have been greatly
appreciated by each and every one of us. The notes, letters, handmade masks, food
and in some cases, monetary donations are deeply appreciated.

We strive each and every day to provide you with the best policing possible, to show
that we are guardians of this community. Thank you for everything.

The department has placed 22 license plate reader cameras throughout the city. Primarily at strategic
points near the perimeter of the city. These cameras have assisted the department to identify vehicles
and suspects involved in several crimes. The cameras are focused on roadways, not on private property
and are specific to vehicle information. They are proving to be a valuable tool to help us solve crimes that
have occurred in the city.

At a recent City Council meeting, I reported larceny crimes, or theft related crimes have increased
throughout San Marino. These increases are in three areas, package theft, theft from unlocked and locked
vehicles and thefts of gardening equipment.

Package thefts have increased due to the use of online purchasing. As your package is delivered and left
by the front door, thieves are using that opportunity to steal packages. The department has been able to
make several arrests, but we need your help to reduce this type of crime. If you are able, have the pack-
age delivered to a mailbox business, delivered to your business or to a neighbor that can receive the pack-
age. The department is working with Amazon to have a package locker installed at a City facility. This
locker will provide our residents with a safe and secure location for your deliveries.

Thefts from unlocked and locked vehicles is becoming more common. Leaving valuable items in your
vehicle invites a thief to steal those items. Please remember to lock your car secure your valuables in the
trunk of your vehicle or take them with you. Remember, LOCK IT, HIDE IT, KEEP IT.

Finally, the gardeners who work so hard to keep your yards so beautiful are often victims of equipment
theft. A commercial lawn mower can cost over $1500, a blower over $500 and the other equipment losses
make it difficult for them to work. The Police and Community Development Departments are working
together to provide information to gardeners to secure their equipment and vehicles. Our officers have
also been providing crime prevention flyers to gardeners in the City. One crime prevention tactic you can
assist us with is to allow your gardener or contractor to park in your driveway toward the rear of your
property, off the street and out of sight. We call this “Safer in Back”, Together we can continue to keep
San Marino a safe city and an amazing place to live!

A Message from Fire Chief Mario Rueda

“Be Prepared”

Well, if you don’t know everything you need to about your utilities, with
this summer’s recent heat waves and the resultant California ISO Flex Alerts
across our State, now is a good chance to revisit this important information.
In case you did not know, the California ISO manages the flow of electricity
across the high-voltage, long-distance power lines that make up 80 percent of
California’s and a small part of Nevada’s electrical grid. This nonprofit public
benefit corporation also operates a competitive wholesale energy market, and
conducts transmission planning to identify grid expansion needs.

I am almost certain that someone showed you how to do it at one time, but now you’re frantically running
around the house and trying to remember. Water! Gas! Electricity! “Where is the shut off valve?!” Let’s
quickly review where the valves and switches are located, as well as when, how and if you should turn
them off.

This information is intended to serve as a refresher for every homeowner in the event you encounter a prob-
lem with your utilities. However, that being said; remember, if any resident ever has a problem with their
gas, water, or electricity; don’t hesitate to dial 911. The San Marino Fire Department Firefighters are well
trained in utility emergencies, and are here to respond to eliminate hazards or assist residents when they
have a problem that is beyond their control.

Electricity
During the heat wave that impacted our City, the Fire Department responded to several arcing transformers
and wires, one of which resulted in a house fire. One thing we should never do is underestimate the poten-
tial for danger in certain situations. Electrocution and fire are very real hazards that can occur when electri-
cal wires or outlets malfunction or they’re damaged or misused. Sometimes it’s necessary to shut off your
electricity under the following circumstances:

When to Shut Off Electric Power
• You smell burning insulation.
• There is a fire or major water leak.
• You suspect a gas leak.
• Arcing or burning occurs in electrical items.
• Switches or plugs become blackened or hot.
• Power loss, accompanied by burning smell.

Turning it Off
Electrical safety should be elementary to every homeowner. Even children should be taught the potential
dangers, and adults should know where a home’s electrical panels are located. When you do suspect an
electrical problem, here’s what to do.

                                                      6
San marino city of san marino community services guide Fall 2020
• Locate the main electric box, normally located in the garage or on the exterior of the home.
• If your home has circuit breakers, open the metal door of the breaker box and turn the electrical switch to
“Off.”
• If your house has fuses, there should be a pullout fuse marked “Main.” Remove all the small fuses, and
then remove the “Main” fuse.

Water
Water… we love to drink it, swim in it, refresh our lawns and clean our cars with it. But the minute it starts
leaking, it’s an entirely different story. Water leaks can cause extensive property damage and create elec-
trical hazards as well. And when a major disaster strikes, leaks can turn into something much bigger, and
much costlier. After events such as major earthquakes, it’s smart to temporarily shut off your water supply
to protect it from contaminants and from bursting through cracked pipes. Whenever you have to turn off
your water, follow these simple steps:

• Find your water shutoff valve, usually located in your garage or outside, next to the side or rear of your
house where the water line enters the home.
• The water shutoff is usually a wheel located on a riser pipe. Turn this wheel clockwise to shut it off.
• You can also turn off the water to specific appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators and even sink fau-
cets. These are usually located on attached lines to the appliances and can be turned off with a clockwise
twist of the valve or wheel.

Natural Gas
Natural gas leaks can occur, even without the help of a natural or man-made disaster. When they occur in-
side a home or other building, they can cause deadly fires and explosions. If you suspect a gas leak, here’s
what to do:
• If you smell or hear gas escaping, suspect a leak or discover a broken gas line, shut off the main valve and
quickly open all doors and windows.
• The main shutoff valve is located on the gas line leading into your gas meter, normally located on the side
yard or backyard of your home, or possibly in an outside closet. This value, about 6 to 8 inches above the
ground, runs parallel with the meter pipe.
• With a sturdy wrench, give the valve a ¼ turn in either direction until the valve is crosswise to the pipe.
• Do not attempt to turn the gas back on. Instead contact the Gas Company.
• Never use candles or matches if you suspect a leak, and do not turn on electrical switches or appliances as
this can cause an explosion or fire.

Tools of the Trade
Whenever you need to turn off a utility, it often requires more than just your hands and a bit of patience.
Here are some items you might want to store in your emergency kit.
• Large crescent wrench
• Pliers
• Cloth rag
• Gloves

If you have a question regarding your utilities, or how to shut them off, please do not hesitate to call the
Fire Department at (626) 300-0735.

Tech Tips for Seniors:
Seniors in a digital world can be easily overwhelmed by all the new technology around us. We are
surrounded by an array of digital devices, whether it’s smartphones, social media, tablets, or laptops.
There’s no avoiding it, so below are some questions with answers to help you learn how to use all these
technological advances.

What is a blog?
A blog is a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group,
that is written in an informal or conversational style.

What is an iPod and what does it do?
The iPod is a portable music player developed by Apple Computer. Though it is an Apple product, the
iPod can be used with both Macs and PCs. The iTunes software, also created by Apple, is used to orga-
nize and transfer songs and playlists to the iPod.

What is a tablet?
Tablets are small handheld computers. Tablets can be used to
browse the Internet, check email, download and read books, play
games, watch videos, organize content, and much more. Most
tablets are touch operated and are between the size of a smart-
phone and a laptop.

What is a Zoom meeting?
Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service you can use
to virtually meet with others - either by video or audio-only
or both, all while conducting live chats - and it lets you record
those sessions to view later.
