Measure L: The Hotel Tax - General Information
The Moreno Valley City Council recently voted to place Measure L on the 2016 November ballot for the residents' consideration. Measure L is a hotel tax and is not a tax on residents or local businesses. Because Measure L is not a tax on residents, it would be paid by out-of-town visitors, tourists, and any other persons when they stay at a hotel or motel in Moreno Valley. If approved, Measure L would create a locally-controlled source of funding for vital city services such as police, fire, 9-1-1 emergency response, libraries and street repair.

Safety First! Deep-Fried Turkey Tips
The delicious deep-fried turkey has quickly grown in popularity but safety experts are concerned that backyard chefs may be sacrificing fire safety for good taste.
If you choose to use a turkey fryer, please use the following tips to keep you and your family safe:
- Turkey fryers should always be used outdoors- a safe distance from buildings and any other flammable materials.
- Never use turkey fryers in a garage or on a wooden deck.
- Make sure they are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping.
- Never leave a fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you do not watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.
- Never let children or pets near the fryer even if it is not in use. The oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot hours after use.
- To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer.
- Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter.
Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If the fire is manageable, use your all-purpose fire extinguisher. If the fire increases, immediately call the fire department for help.
