New Sheriff's Office.    The San Diego Sheriff will now have an office presence in downtown Encinitas. They have a storefront location at the corner of D Street and Second Street. The office will not be staffed on a regular basis, but it gives deputies a location to complete paperwork in close proximity to downtown. There are also plans for the Crime Prevention Unit and the COPPS Unit to conduct community events in the area, such as neighborhood watch. There will be a grand opening in the near future.

Emergency Preparedness.   Encinitas firefighters and city employees recently participated in a regional two-day exercise led by the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services. The exercise involved a simulated series of terrorist attacks across the region. The two-day drill began on Wednesday, June 7, with firefighters participating in the field response portion of the exercise. On Thursday, June 8, the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated and run by city employees assigned to provide planning and logistical support to ground operations. This was the biggest emergency exercise the County has led to date. Events like these prepare employees and strengthen the City's ability to respond to disasters, natural and man-made.
Residents can join in by being prepared as well. Visit  www.encinitasca.gov/emergencyprep  to see what you can do . 


WaterRescueWater Rescue.     In the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 13, Encinitas lifeguards and fire fighters were called to assist the Carlsbad Fire Department in a water rescue and vehicle recovery. The vehicle had driven off the road and into the lagoon from Carlsbad Blvd south of Tamarack Ave. 


OilyRagsSafety With Oily Rags.    There have been at least three recent fires in Encinitas that were caused by oily rags. It is common to use rags to wipe up spills or clean brushes during home improvement projects and these rags can start a fire if not handled properly. The Encinitas Fire Prevention Bureau would like to remind residents to use caution when handling flammable and combustible liquids and to follow these safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association  .

Housing Choice Voucher Program/Section 8 Administrative Plan.  
Housing agencies administering federally funded Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 programs must adopt a written Administrative Plan that establishes local policies for administration of the program in accordance with the United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) requirements. The Administrative Plan and revisions to the plan must be adopted by the Encinitas Housing Authority (EHA) and submitted to HUD. On June 22, 1994, the EHA Board of Commissioners first adopted its Administrative Plan, and, over the years, the EHA has approved a number of amendments to reflect changes in federal regulations and policy adopted by the EHA. The last round of amendments was approved by the Board on March 9, 2016. Over the years, with each amendment, the plan has become somewhat cumbersome and challenging to navigate. Rather than continue making amendments in a piecemeal fashion, staff recognized the need for a comprehensive update to the Administration Plan. A public hearing will be held on June 28, 2017 at 5:30pm* before the EHA Board of Commissioners to consider these comprehensive amendments.
 
*Please note the meeting time has been changed to 5:30 pm from the originally noticed meeting time of 4:30 pm.
 
CDBGCDBG Policies and Procedures Manual.    The City Council approved the revisions to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program on June 7, 2017. The City of Encinitas receives CDBG funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist low-income households and neighborhoods. The CDBG Policies and Procedures were revised to require that all new applicants attend an annual workshop, and to establish a minimum public service grant of $5,000. More information about the City's CDBG Program and the Policies and Procedures can be found on the website .
