To ensure that Moreno Valley’s voice is heard throughout the chambers of the State Capitol, Moreno Valley Council Members made a special visit to Sacramento to attend Legislative Action Day. Held on April 24, Legislative Action Day is an opportunity for California's locally elected officials to engage with State Legislators and was hosted by the League of California Cities.

Legislative Action Day was also an opportunity for City Council members to receive important updates on legislation that could affect Moreno Valley.

Council Members participated in crucial meetings with the State Senator and Assembly Member representing our region at the State level. Council Members engaged with State Officials on a range of important legislation including:

Some Council Members also used this opportunity to combat legislation that could be harmful to our Community. Most notably AB 485 (Medina) could significantly impact Moreno Valley's efforts to grow our local economy. California Assembly Bill 485 threatens to make it difficult, if not impossible, for cities and counties to help businesses to grow their distribution networks in California. Assembly Bill 485 specifically targets California’s logistics industry, and forces companies to disclose proprietary business information, and mandates the collection/publication of confidential information (employee wages, job classifications, and labor agreements, automation details, etc.), which could be used by competitors to gain an unfair advantage over California businesses. Current law already requires substantial disclosure. The City of Moreno Valley opposes AB 485, because it blatantly targets an industry that has accelerated Moreno Valley's economy, and would hinder job creation, business attraction, and business expansion efforts .

Legislative Action Day was a resounding success for the City, and Moreno Valley's City Council Members are already exploring new ideas and developing efforts to enhance Moreno Valley's current legislative platform.

14041 Elsworth Street (between Cactus & Alessandro)

May 7- 9 & 21- 23

10 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Call the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951-413-3790, or visit the  City’s website  for more pet adoption information. 

Create fire-safe zones with stone walls, patios, swimming pools, decks, and roadways. Use rock, mulch, flower beds and gardens as ground cover for bare spaces and as effective firebreaks. There are no "fire-proof" plants but some are highly resistant.

Select high moisture plants that grow close to the ground and have a low sap or resin content. Choose fire retardant plant species that resist ignition such as rockrose, ice plant, and aloe. Fire-resistant shrubs include hedging roses, bush honeysuckles, current, cotoneaster, sumac and shrub apples. Plant hardwood, maple, poplar and cherry trees that are less flammable than pine, fir and other conifers.

Consult with a local nursery, landscape contractor or county extension service for advice on fire-resistant plants that are suited for your environment, and help to plan your landscape. Planting a fire-resistant landscape could prove to be a life-saving effort.
