REDISTRICTING
Every ten years, Council Member Districts must be redrawn so that each District is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important to ensure that each City Council Member represents about the same number of constituents.
How can I get involved? The City Council has been holding hearings to receive public input on where district lines should be drawn. So far, three public hearings have been held in August, September and January. Join us for the fourth and final public hearing scheduled for March 8, 2022 at 7pm to be held in the City Council Chambers at City Hall located at 41000 Main Street, Temecula, CA 92590. You may also submit public comments, including suggested draft maps, via email to [email protected]. More information can be found HERE.

URBAN FOREST SUMMIT
March 16 at 5pm NEW DATE!
Temecula City Hall (Conference Center)
41000 Main Street, Temecula
The City of Temecula, in partnership with Dudek, is hosting an Urban Forest Summit on March 16 from 5pm to 7:30pm at Temecula City Hall inside the Conference Center.
The Urban Forest Summit will provide community members a space to share their thoughts about the opportunities and challenges relating to Temecula’s urban forest.

The main goal of the Urban Forest Management Plan is to make sure every resident in the City lives in a neighborhood that is healthy, clean and safe. Achieving this, in part, depends on the City’s trees and their ability to help create and maintain a resilient City that will continue to thrive with new and changing environmental conditions and challenges.

BLOOD DONATIONS NEEDED
According to the Red Cross, we are experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. The dangerously low blood supply levels have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants. Your donation is desperately needed. Appointments are required to donate blood. For more information, and to make an appointment, visit: TemeculaCA.gov/BloodDrive.

REMINDER FROM CR&R ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES (CR&R)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STATE LAW
California State law (Senate Bill 1383) requires a 75% reduction in the level of statewide organic waste disposal by 2025.
What does this mean for every business and household? In short, all California residences and businesses are required to separate organic waste from other trash and non-organic recyclables starting in 2022. Organic waste includes both food waste and other green waste, such as yard trimmings. CR&R will be reaching out to Temecula businesses and residents with more information. Learn about CC&R's organics processing technology.
