2014 Winter Greetings

he Community Services Department wishes everyone a warm and safe winter season along with the holidays and family gatherings that are celebrated by many of our residents. In addition to all of the traditional celebrations, residents of Beverly Hills will have numerous opportunities over the winter months and throughout 2014 to join in local celebrations. For those unaware, the City will be celebrating its Centennial Year starting on January 28, 2014. Numerous activities have been planned (with the involvement of many of your fellow neighbors) and will occur, over the course of the year to celebrate our first 100 years of incorporated existence. Many of the Departments traditional activities and community special events will be themed to highlight the Citys Centennial and all residents are encouraged to participate. The celebration kicks off with a New Years Day Beverly Hills float in the Pasadena Rose Parade that will include a centennial theme. Several lucky residents will be joining Mayor John Mirisch on the float since the City Council decided that some of our residents should share in the experience of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As always, please refer to the Citys website (www. beverlyhills.org) for updates throughout the year. Additionally, we are looking to the coming year as a time when we will be celebrating the completion of several capital improvement projects that the Department is involved in. Staff anticipates the completion of the Lily Pond Restoration Project thats occurring in front of the iconic Beverly Hills sign within Beverly Gardens Park by early 2014. This is the first of whats intentioned to be multiple phases along this 22-block long linear park and restoring them to their historical beauty. If you are interested in finding out more about this citizen-initiated effort, or to make a contribution to this largely privately funded effort, please contact the Friends of Beverly Gardens Park. Additional information can also be found on their website (www.fobgp.org). Financial contributions toward this project are tax deductible and are greatly appreciated, no matter how large or small. We also will be looking to have the community join us in celebrating the grand opening of the new Roxbury Community Center next spring. In addition to the facility, staff also anticipates the completion of various other renovation efforts around the same time. These projects will improve the parks athletic field; provide a new public restroom facility adjacent to the picnic area and replacement of the parks playground equipment. On behalf of the Community Services Department and City of Beverly Hills, I wish you and your family a safe, productive and rewarding new year. We hope that you will participate in many of the services and city-planned centennial celebrations that are being offered. Steve Zoet, Director Community Services Department

The new Roxbury Community Center is almost half way done. The walls are framed and the roof is in process. The City is looking forward to opening the center mid year in 2014. The field work and main irrigation line replacement started in November. The new play equipment and field restroom will be put out to bid soon and work for that portion is expected to begin early in the new year. Stay tuned...
