Eastvale Property Taxes Going Down         One thing I can be thankful for this Thursday is that property taxes are going down in 11 districts in Eastvale. The Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) has refinanced over $97 million in the Mello-Roos tax bond and is passing on the savings to the homeowners. The savings amounts to be over $13 million over the life of the loan or $962,000 per year. So when your property tax bill comes in December expect a lower payment to be made. Depending on where you live, the savings will be anywhere from $63 to $342. This is on top of a similar refinancing made in 2013 that resulted in tax savings of $1.86 million or $148,000 per year in 4 districts within Eastvale. JCSD is always looking at the interest rates and refinances when savings can be made... 09/04/2014

Safety Video Presented for Corona / Norco Schools         The Corona / Norco school district gets the message across very effectively with this new musical / safety video. The school district wanted to implement a safety program to alert every personnel in case of an emergency.   The video was created to remind school principals to contact the school district in case of emergency. If they aren't contacted, how can they coordinate assistance when help is needed.       If there is an emergency, call 911 first, then call 736-5003 to inform the district of the emergency.         Not hard to get the message from this video. Its a jingle that will hopefully help you remember the number.    youtube video, courtesy Buzz Garwood   In case of emergency, first call 911 , then inform the district b... 09/04/2014

  Eastvale CA Controls Mosquito Population          I for one am thankful this Thursday that the City of Eastvale was out early this morning with pesticides and will be out in the early morning tomorrow as well in order to control the mosquito population along the river and River Park area (click here).

California Plastic Bag Ban up for Signature         You will no longer see plastic bags clogging our water ways and at ocean beaches in California which has cost millions of dollars to remove. California passed legislation last Friday in the Senate 22-15 to ban plastic bag use. Plastic bags at the check out line in grocery stores and large pharmacies starting in 2015 and at convenience stores starting in 2016 will be a thing of the past. Gerry Brown's signature is all that is needed for this to take affect.   Typical plastic bag to be banned in California        What will we do without these bags and what will be used instead?      This legislation includes loans that allow bag manufacturers to switch over to the production of paper bags and allows for stores to charge 10 cents for pape... 09/01/2014
