How Does Parks And Recreation Make My Life Better? PLAY:

POSITIVE SPACES: Free-time fun – My neighborhood park is more than a place to chill. It keeps me thinking straight and away from trouble. It’s free -- and it’s really fun.

NATURE:

GATHERING PLACES: Socializing and learning – Parks are like holidays, bringing us together to share good times. They are the common ground that connects us all.

Safe, outdoor space – For us, the biggest benefit is a safe, outdoor play space for our kids today… and as they grow.

Beauty and serenity – Being in nature makes me feel alive. I feel lucky to have this beautiful, serene place so close to home. I want my grandkids to have the same appreciation for parks.

EXERCISE:

Healthy movement – Parks are made for moving at my own pace – our family walks, plays and cycles. The recreation programs make it easy to stay healthy.

FOREVER: Valued today and always – Parks enrich our lives. They add value to our homes and neighborhoods. Individually and as a community, we’ll always have that need.

The Emeryville City News and Activity Guide is published three times a year by the City of Emeryville. The guide is printed by Casey Printing using recycled ink, a recycled paper cover, uncoated text pages, and no heat set presses to keep this issue green.

ADULT ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS BODYLIFT “BodyLift” is a concept created and designed that generally consists of using your own bodyweight to skyrocket your metabolism and burn more fat 24-48 hours after your workout. This is known as “Excess post oxygen consumption” (EPOC). Classes will consist of Circuit training, Strength training, and Bodyweight training at a high intensity level (HIIT) in either 30 minute or 60 minute class sessions. Ashley has personally designed and worked out with these routines and achieved successful results, as well as using the BodyLift method with her clients. So many muscles in the human body can be worked out with just simply knowing how to move your body correctly along with the amount of repetitions and weight put that is placed on our body. If you are interested in losing overall body fat or just looking to carve out the body you currently have to achieve lean muscle mass using the BodyLift method will do just that! Visit www.lamortelift.com for more info. Classes will be held at Doyle Hollis Park. DAY

Ashley LaMorte Ashley LaMorte is the founder and owner of LaMorteLift. She was born in San Jose, CA. Out of high school Ashley went from Nursing school to Interior design school, but neither of these kept her interest. Ashley knew she wanted more in life, she wanted to make a difference in peoples lives. Ashley had always been physically active growing up but took further interest in fitness in her early adulthood. She began working out regularly and quickly noticed how much of an impact training had on her, not only physically but also mentally. Ashley began training others and loved it. She came to realize becoming a Personal Trainer was what she was meant to do. Ashley became certified and shortly after moved to the San Francisco area to pursue her career in the fitness field. Ashley now resides in the East Bay area, where she is instructing fitness boot camp classes along with training clients one on one. Ashley’s belief is everyone can change their quality of life through fitness and clean eating habits.

EMERYVILLE CITY NEWS

Emeryville’s Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Ordinance On June 2, 1015 the Emeryville City Council adopted an ordinance that will provide for a higher citywide minimum wage and additional paid sick leave provisions than required by the State of California.

NEW MINIMUM WAGE The new law requires a higher minimum wage rate than the current state rate of $9 per hour; however, different minimum wage rates will be required depending on the size of a local business. Small businesses are ones that have 55 employees or fewer in Emeryville and will be required to pay a slightly lower rate than businesses with over 55 employees in Emeryville until July 1, 2019. For the purposes of this ordinance, an employee is someone who works at least two hours per calendar week within the city limits of the City of Emeryville. This includes full-time, part-time, and temporary employees. For small businesses, the minimum wage rate will be $12.25 per hour effective July 2, 2015. Large businesses will provide a minimum wage of $14.44 per hour effective on July 2, 2015. These rates will increase annually. Large business minimum wage rates will adjust annually for inflation every July 1 based on the annual increase in the local consumer price index (CPI). Small business minimum wage rates will increase in predetermined increments until 2019, at which point the small business minimum wage rate will match the large business minimum wage rate and both will be increased every July 1 by the local CPI. The initial wage and escalation schedule is summarized in the following table: Effective Date

Small Business ≤55 Employees

Large Business 56+ Employees

The ordinance does not allow for any tips or employer-paid health benefits to be used as credit toward achieving the required minimum wage rate. Additionally, the new law includes requirements concerning service charges frequently billed to customers in hospitality establishments. These charges may include but are not limited to, “service charge”, “delivery charge”, or “porterage charge” and include activities such as delivering food and beverages to hotel rooms, catering duties at banquets, or carrying bags to rooms for hotel guests. The ordinance necessitates that all service charges are paid in their entirety to the employee who performs the actual service.

to both full-time and part-time employees, accrued at the rate of one hour paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. The City’s ordinance includes additional paid sick leave benefits beyond the state requirements: • Maximum of 48 paid sick leave hours accruable for employees of small businesses (55 or fewer employees within Emeryville) and 72 hours for Employees of large businesses • In each year of employment, an employee may use up to the total number of paid sick leave hours accrued, subject to the maximum number of accruable paid sick leave hours, as described above. • AB 1522 allows an employee to use paid sick leave to provide care for a family member. The ordinance broadens the definition of “family member” to include a designated individual (if employee has no spouse or registered domestic partner) for whom an employee can use paid sick leave to provide care. The employee may use paid sick leave to provide care for a guide dog, signal dog, or service dog of the employee, employee’s family member, or the person designated by the employee.

ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES AND EXEMPTIONS Eligible employees include private for-profit, private non-profit, and city employees who work at least 2 hours per calendar week within the boundaries of the City of Emeryville. It applies to both part-time, full-time and temporary employees, regardless of age or place of residence. Workers exempt from payment of state minimum wage will also be exempt from the citywide minimum wage, such as independent contractors or workers who are the parent, spouse, or child of the employer, if the employer is a sole proprietor. There are two exceptions to the minimum wage and paid sick leave requirements of the ordinance. • Employees may enter into a valid union contract which specifically waives their rights under this ordinance. • State minimum wage law allows that “learners” may be paid no less than 85 percent (85%) of the minimum wage for the first 160 hours of employment. As defined by the California Industrial Welfare Commission, “learners” are employees who have no previous similar or related experience in a given occupation. A learner may be of any age. As it pertains to the Emeryville Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Ordinance, an employer shall pay a “learner” no less than 85% of the applicable minimum wage.

EFFECTIVE DATES

NEW PAID SICK LEAVE PROVISIONS

The new wages and paid sick leave provisions go into effect on July 2, 2015. On this date, employers will be required to pay the new minimum wage rates and begin compliance with the paid sick leave provisions.

Another important condition of the new law is the provisions related to paid sick leave. On July 1, 2015, AB 1522 will go into effect requiring that all employers in the State of California provide paid sick leave

EMERYVILLE CITY NEWS Looking for Down Payment Assistance to Purchase a Home in Emeryville? The City of Emeryville has two down payment assistance programs to assist income-eligible, first-time homebuyers to purchase residential units in Emeryville through “silent” second mortgages. These low-interest, deferred-payment second mortgages can be used to reduce the amount needed to borrow from a primary mortgage lender, reducing monthly mortgage costs. The two programs are CalHome, available to low-income or below households, and the First Time Homebuyer Loan (FTHB) program, available to households earning at or below moderate income. CalHome may be used to purchase either market-rate or below-market-rate units, while the FTHB program may only be used for the purchase of market rate units. The table below summarizes the programs: CalHome

First Time Homebuyer Loan

Interest Rate

75% of first mortgage interest rate

In either program, the borrower must make at least a 3 percent down payment and occupy the unit as a primary residence during the duration of the loan term. The loan is due upon sale, transfer, when the unit ceases to be owner-occupied, or in 30 years, whichever comes first.

The City currently has over $1.5 million available in funding for the CalHome program and $150,000 available in the FTHB program. More info: Contact the City’s Affordable Homeownership Programs Consultant, (510) 596-4303 or homebuyer@emeryville.org.

SAVE THE DATES: Personal Emergency Preparedness: October 1, 2015 CERT Training Academy: November 6–8, 2015 Disasters can strike at any time and anywhere. Being prepared for these and other unexpected events is critical to saving lives, mitigating damage, and being able to recover quickly as a community. It is important to know, that in a disaster, traditional “911” and First Responder capabilities such as fire, police, and even utilities resources will be overwhelmed and unable to immediately assist individuals. First Responders maybe delayed for hours or even days. Do you think you are ready to help your family and/or your neighborhood when a disaster happens? Each one of us has a responsibility to understand the risks that natural and man-made disasters pose to our communities, and to recognize that we can do something to prepare before disasters strike. We have a duty to build a Culture of Preparedness in which our neighbors, families and friends are ready for any disaster event, and to make our communities safer, stronger, and more resilient to disasters. With this in mind, the City of Emeryville in collaboration with The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) will be offering two opportunities for you and your family to become better prepared. On Thursday, October 1st, ACFD will provide a Personal Emergency Preparedness (PEP) workshop here in Emeryville. PEP training helps individuals and families prepare themselves for a disaster by minimizing potential dangers in the home, preparing a disaster kit, and working out a communication plan. This training takes approximately one hour. Then, for those community members interested in a more in depth training, ACFD will be offering an opportunity for community members to participate in a Community Emergency Response Team

(CERT) training academy in one weekend! Participants will complete 20 hours of CERT training from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. CERT training will include both classroom instruction and hands-on training which includes Personal and Family Preparedness, Fire Safety and Utility Controls, Medical Operations and Triage, Light Search and Rescue, Disaster Psychology, Terrorism, Team Organization, and concludes with a disaster simulation. The goal of the ACFD and Emeryville CERT program will be to provide private citizens with the basic skills they will need to protect themselves, their family, and their neighbors, and to respond to the immediate needs of the community in the aftermath of a disaster when emergency services are not readily available. Class registration will be free and is open to community members who are 18 years old or older. Teenagers between 14 to 17 years old may participate in the training if accompanied by a parent/guardian. Anyone who would like to be better prepared in the event of an emergency should mark their calendars now and plan on attending! To register please visit, www.acfdcert.eventbrite.com or call (510) 632-3473 ext. 1721 or (925) 833-3473 ext. 1721.

The Emeryville Police Department would like you to know these few tips for making this fall a safe one. Running into the store for a quick item? Wondering if you should lug around that computer bag or backpack or leave it in the car? Take it. Auto burglaries are crimes of opportunity. Don’t give that criminal a chance to break into your vehicle. Remember, criminals don’t have x-ray vision. They won’t know whether that gym bag of yours has your sweaty gym clothes or an expensive laptop.

Take your time at the ATM. Rushing while withdrawing money can cause you to forget your debit card, cash, or you may leave your account open. Don’t create a false sense of security from all the surveillance cameras—although they can help our investigation, they cannot provide the name or address of a suspect. If you feel like someone behind you in line is just a tad too close, or those hairs in the back of your neck stand up, try a different ATM. Ding Dong…is it Halloween? Someone’s at the door but you didn’t invite anyone over, or it’s kind of late for a delivery. Ask who the person is without opening the door. Sometimes residential burglars “test the waters” before breaking into a home. Burglars look for homes where the homeowner is gone, lights are off and windows are open. Let that unexpected doorknocker know you are home and that they may or may not be welcomed. Those hairs on your neck still acting up? If you think there may be some suspicions activity around, i.e. your neighbors have been burglarized in the past or you saw a suspicious person lurking, but no real crime has been committed, call the Emeryville Police non-emergency line: (510) 596-3700. Officers can go and check the area to make sure everything is OK.

Speaking of the non-emergency line, it is recommended that Emeryville residents have the Emeryville Police non-emergency line added to their cell phone contacts list. 911 calls are filtered through different call centers, depending on where the caller is located and where the emergency is—and that may delay your access to the local dispatch center. Our non-emergency line goes directly to Emeryville Dispatchers who are there to help.

If you see a crime in progress or suspect something suspicious is happening, call the Emeryville Police Department at 911 or 510-596-3700.

The Emeryville Police Department Command Change After 40 years of dedicated service, Ken James retired from Emeryville Police Department. Now, EPD is privileged to welcome Dave Hall as our new Interim Chief of Police. Chief Hall retired from the San Diego Police Department after 30 years and then became a consultant for the California Peace Officer Standards and Training. In 1999, Chief Hall returned to San Diego and took the position of Chief of Police of the San Diego Harbor Police Department. The Harbor Police responsibilities included policing the Tidelands around San Diego Harbor, firefighting on the waters of San Diego Bay, as well as providing police services at the San Diego International Airport. The role of policing at the airport changed significantly after 9/11. Chief Hall’s work with the Harbor Police resulted in receiving the Distinguished Public Service Award from the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard. After retiring from San Diego Harbor police, he remained active as a consultant for public and private safety organizations. Chief Hall is excited to now be part of the Emeryville Police Department and interested in learning more about this little city by the bay.

Bike Share Program BIKE SHARE IS COMING TO EMERYVILLE! www.bayareabikeshare.com

As part of a regional expansion through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, bike share is being expanded in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley, and Emeryville. Beginning in 2016, Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley will get over 100 bike share stations from Motivate (www.motivateco.com), the largest bike share operator in America. There will be high-capacity stations at commuter hubs like MacArthur and Ashby BART, and stations at high-density areas serving residences, workplaces, and commercial areas. Ten stations will be located in Emeryville as a part of the first phase of the system’s roll-out. Each of Emeryville’s stations will have approximately ten bikes and twenty docks to start, and we hope to expand the system in the following years, adding bikes and stations throughout the city. To use bike share, you purchase a daily, monthly, or annual membership ($149 proposed), which covers the cost of unlimited trips under 30 minutes each. Discounts (of 40%) to the membership price will be available for low-income users enrolled in PGE’s CARE program (see http://www.pge.com/en/myhome/saveenergymoney/financialassistance/care/index.page). Keep an eye out for information about bike share planning and siting as the system is designed. You can participate in planning now, by going to suggest. bayareabikeshare.com and suggesting spots for bike share stations in Emeryville (and the places you would go to and use bike share if you had a membership). Have questions? Contact Nancy Humphrey, Environmental Programs Analyst, at 510-596-3728 or nhumphrey@emeryville.org

Measure B/Vehicle Registration Fee Local Streets and Roads Program Update Each year the City of Emeryville receives approximately $280,000 for Local Streets and Roads projects from the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) from two voter approved funding sources; Measure B and the Vehicle Registration Fee. The city uses Measure B Funds and Vehicle Registration Fees for routine street maintenance and the ongoing citywide street rehabilitation project. Depending on the location, condition, and use of the street, various pavement rehabilitation strategies, including full depth reconstruction, grind and overlay, and slurry/cape sealing, are implemented to improve roadway condition and performance. During Fiscal Year 2014/2015 the city used Local Streets and Roads Program funding to perform routine maintenance throughout the City. This work typically includes crack sealing and pavement delineation maintenance. The 2015/2016 Fiscal Year Street Rehabilitation Project will grind and pave Hollis Street from Powell to the northern City Limit, 65th Street from the Greenway to the western City Limit, Vallejo between 65th Street and Peabody Lane, and Ocean Avenue between Vallejo Street and Hollis Street.
