The La Puente City Council unanimously passed a motion to set aside $10,000 in a reward fund at its special meeting on Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Although details of issuing the reward need further action, the Council intends for this initial reward be used for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the sexual assault of a female juvenile on January 2nd.

Unauthorized Curb Painters

It has been brought to our attention that several City of La Puente residents have received flyers indicating street addresses will be painted on the curbs in their neighborhoods. These street address painters have not been authorized by the City to paint street addresses on the curbs. These notices typically do not contain any contact information nor have they applied for a business license to operate legally in La Puente. Painting street addresses without proper City permit is illegal and persons painting the curbs must have a copy of the permit with them when painting curbs or soliciting contributions.

The City would like to remind residents that they are under no obligation to participate in this illegal service and should not feel compelled to pay. Residents with questions may call La Puente Public Works Department at (626) 855-1500.

Southern California Edison Safety Reminders

With high winds in the forecasts, Southern California Edison (SCE) would like to remind its customers to be prepared in the event of weather-related outages. If you see a downed line or dangling wire; even if it appears not to be live, do not touch or approach it and call 911 immediately. SCE suggests:

  1. If you know someone who is dependent on electrically operated medical equipment, make backup power arrangements in case a power outage affects that equipment.
  2. Watch out for traffic signals that may be out. Approach these intersections as four-way stops.
  3. Make sure you have a battery-operated radio and flashlights. Check the batteries to make sure they are fresh. Use flashlights for lighting during a power outage; do not use candles because they pose a significant fire hazard.
  4. Do not use equipment designed for outdoor cooking indoors. Such equipment can emit carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
  5. Leave the doors in your refrigerator and freezer closed to keep your food as fresh as possible. An unopened refrigerator can keep foods cold enough for a few hours. A half full freezer will stay cold for up to 24 hours and a full freezer for 48 hours. If you must eat food that was refrigerated or frozen, check it carefully for signs of spoilage.
  6. Check on your neighbors to make sure everyone is safe.
  7. If you use a generator, place it outdoors and plug individual appliances directly into the generator using a heavy-duty extension cord. Connecting generators to household circuits creates “backfeed,” which is dangerous to repair crews.

California Law requires that all drivers be insured. However, too many low-income drivers remain uninsured because the costs of standard insurance premiums are beyond their financial reach. The California Low Cost Automobile Insurance Program provides affordable liability only auto insurance that meets the state's financial responsibility laws.
