Public Awareness Advisory: Lyme Disease & Ticks

December 6, 2012

This is an annual mailing of information regarding ticks and Lyme disease inLos Angeles County. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by thebite of the western black-legged tick, Ixodes pacificus. Studies have shownthat approximately 1%-2% of western black-legged ticks found in the SantaMonica Mountains, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and other rural areas of LosAngeles County carry the Lyme disease bacteria. The adult western black-legged tick is most active from late November through May.

We recommend that residents and recreational visitors to your city be advisedof the potential risk of ticks and Lyme disease along rural hiking trails, in ruralparks, and other rural recreational areas that may be of concern, with theposting of the attached ticks and Lyme disease caution signs. An empty spacehas been included on the sign under “For Further Information” to allow for theaddition of a corresponding city contact number if desired.

The attached “Biting and Stinging Insects” and “Pocket Identification Guide toBiting and Stinging Insects” brochures contain information on vectors andvector-borne diseases encountered in Los Angeles County, including ticks andLyme disease, Africanized honey bees, mosquitoes, West Nile virus, and redimported fire ants. We recommend that the information be made available ingeneral information areas throughout the city and recreational areas. Parks,recreation, and maintenance department heads should receive a copy of thisinformation to assess the conditions of workers that may find themselves inareas of higher risk due to the nature of their jobs.

For printed brochures, signs or further information on this subject, pleasecontact Heather Teodoro at (310) 915-7370 ext. 225. Additional Lyme diseasepamphlets published by the California Department of Health and informationregarding vector-related services are available online on our website,www.lawestvector.org.

SUBJECT:

The mission of the American Heart Association is building healthier lives, free ofcardiovascular diseases and stroke. The way we are able to measure this is through anImpact Goal — the Impact Goal of the AHA is to improve the cardiovascular health of allAmericans by 20%, while reducing death rates by 20%, all by the year 2020. While itsounds so simple, there are a few key factors playing against us; those include the riseof obesity, lack of physical activity and a huge gap in awareness and knowledge ofprevention. While there are many facets to cardiovascular diseases which can beprevented, there are many that cannot.

Diane Uzelac, Beverly Hills Community member and supporter of the American HeartAssociation, is here to share why it’s important to get involved with the Beverly HillsHeart Chase event, set for Spring of 2013. Heart Chase is an innovative and fun, newway to promote healthy living and support a great cause. The event sends teamsracing to find hidden donations and complete heart healthy challenges while collectingas many points as possible. Teams also engage in fundraising before the event tosupport the American Heart Association. We’re asking for the Commission’s supportand participation and are currently seeking a Beverly Hills Heart Chase Executive Chair.Game on for a great cause!

“Positive Change, Not Spare Change:” Panhandling Public Awareness Campaigt

An Ordinance of the City of Beverly Hills Prohibiting Certain Conduct onPublic Property and Amending the Beverly Hills Municipal Code(Ordinance No. 07-0-2538)

TO:

FROM:

DATE:

SUBJECT:

ATTACHMENT:

Wendy Hughes will attend to present information on the Positive Change no Spare Changecampaign. The following provides background information:

The following item is provided to the Commission for information only.

Panhandling is not against the law, but where and how one panhandles in the City of BeverlyHills can be (see attachment I). Typically, there are two kinds of panhandlers, aggressive andpassive. Aggressive panhandlers block your way, follow, touch and intimidate to solicit money.Passive panhandlers, on the other hand, stand or sit quietly in a specific location with a signasking for money. Most complaints about panhandling to BHPD are for aggressive panhandlers.On any given day, the business triangle attracts the majority of panhandlers. The most commonareas for panhandling are the City owned parking garage exits and elevators, both Rite Aids intown, Rodeo drive and east Beverly blvd.

Professional or sophisticated beggars have the right to panhandle under the First Amendment.Even though panhandling is legal, is it appropriate to solicit money under false circumstances?In the case of Beverly Hills, many of the local panhandlers are professions who are nothomeless nor in need of food or assistance. If these individuals were panhandling for a knownsocial service agency that helped homeless individuals then, soliciting funds would be an honestendeavor. Instead, donations are given under false circumstances to support an addiction,supplement income or could be the primary source of income.

Why not give a panhandler money or food? For the few panhandlers that are homeless,contributions of money and/or food provide just enough subsistence to enable them to deny realhelp that’s available. For example, the City of Beverly Hills provides a homeless outreach teamthat offers referrals for shelter, benefits, health and other assistance. It’s human nature to begiving and generous, but is it the right thing to do? The balance between an individual’s right topanhandle and the government’s needs is a very fine line.

11/15/2012 HRC: Panhandling Initiative

Cities across the nation have tried various approaches to deter panhandling. Commonstrategies to reduce panhandling include:

• Solicitation free zones;• Donation centers;• Readily available social services;• Restrictions on aggressive panhandling;• Designated time periods for panhandling;• Targeted enforcement;• Increased punishment for offenders;• Local business efforts working together;• Community education and outreach to encourage citizens to stop giving.

Most researchers and practitioners seem to agree that the enforcement of laws prohibitingpanhandling plays only one part in controlling the problem. Public education to discouragepeople from giving money to panhandlers, informal social control (an engaged businesscommunity) and adequate social services for panhandlers are the other essential componentsof an effective and comprehensive response.

One approach the city has taken to address this issue is the use of the reinstated BHPD bicyclepatrol which uses a mix of formal and informal approaches to keep panhandlers working withinthe boundaries of the law. The bike patrol will normally inform the aggressive panhandler aboutthe rules they must follow and give them several warnings prior to issuing a citation. Thismethod has been very effective in controlling the behavior of the more aggressive panhandlers.

Another approach which was discussed and subsequently dismissed was the possibility ofstricter panhandling ordinances, but according to the prevailing research those are rarelyeffective and several cities have lost lawsuits. Additionally, it could attract the attention of theACLU and possible legal suits and bring unnecessary publicity to the city.

Other methods currently being pursued include working with the BH Chamber of Commerce toengage the business community, in particular, the outside dining restaurants and local tour busoperators to play a pre-recorded 30 second PSA while driving into Beverly Hills requesting thevisitors to not give money to the panhandlers.

Research continues into methods that have and have not worked in like cities to Beverly Hills.
