Hi

Happy Labor Day!

It looks like the mid-90s temps will be with us through the week. Let' hope the humidity drops down. It's feeling a bit like the South or Mid-West out there. This weather will help us appreciate the cooler fall and winter weather that is sure to come our way in the next few months. Perspective is a good thing. 

We can expect more "Flex Alert" notices, including today 9/5, that remind us to reduce our electrical use, especially air-conditioning (just more the temperature setting to a very livable 78 degrees), between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. 

There has been some discussion about why these hours. It's pretty simple. The demand increases and the solar power that is generated decreases creating additional strain on our electrical grid. By reducing our usage we help reduce the strain. Thanks for doing with you can to help SoCal.

This Week's Sweeping Schedule 

With the holiday today, our street sweepers will sweep the EVEN addresses tomorrow (Tuesday) and the ODD sides on Wednesday. This is the normal holiday schedule when Monday is a recognized holiday. Please help keep our streets clean by moving your vehicles and waste carts from the street on the side being swept. Thanks for your help.

While November is a while off still, our Meet Your Candidates Night is just a few weeks away away. 

The candidates for each of the five races that directly represent Rossmoor are set (see the list here) and between now and election day on Tuesday November 8th, we will be assembling information on each of the candidates so you can both get to know them a little better and determine who you feel will best represent your interests in the next term of office.

Our Meet Your Candidates Night Town Hall this year is on Thursday, September 29th in the Rush Park Auditorium. We plan to begin at 6:30 p.m. And prior to the Town Hall we will be posting the answers to the questions you share with us. Some will be submitted to the candidates as written questions and others will be used during the live Town Hall event.

Now is the time to start submitting your questions.

We have invited all 12 candidates for the 45th US Congressional District, 36th State Senate District, 70th State Assembly District, Los Alamitos Unified School District Trustee Area 3, and the Rossmoor Community Services District to attend. 

Because of the redistricting, most of the seats do not have an incumbent running for re-election. At this time, only LAUSD Trustee Diana Hill and RCSD Director Jeffrey Rips are running for re-election to their current district and office.

More info and the interactive map with all the districts can be found here.
