Diamond Bar resident, Greg Busch
It takes certain traits to commit to a project that does not have an end, among these patience, tenacity, and initiative. Traits that, lucky for the City, Greg Busch has. Three years ahead of the 25th anniversary of Diamond Bar’s incorporation, the City began planning how it would mark this important milestone. There would be festivities, of course, but there would also have to be an opportunity for the community to share their piece of Diamond Bar history, either by telling their story in a video or audio interview, or by donating items from the early 1990s or before. At that time, the City had quite a few items it had received several years earlier from John Forbing, founding City Council member and originator of the Diamond
Bar Historical Society. The group was active from 1991 to around 1997, during which time it collected everything from newspaper articles and photographs to maps and memorabilia that were significant to the city’s ranch past and early development years. These items in addition to the new donations the City was open to receiving would need to be organized and cataloged – and so the City launched the Diamond Bar History Project. One of the components this Project was the formation of a volunteer group that would be tasked with sorting and cataloging all donations. For several months, the City placed a call for volunteers on its website, newsletter, social accounts, and through a postcard mailed to all Diamond Bar homes.
Among those who answered the call was Busch.
“At first I saw the project as something to do. I had been retired for several months and was looking to get involved in something,” said Busch. “The ads caught my interest and I decided to join.” The group of approximately a dozen individuals met for the first time in February 2012. Most were already serving on one or more Diamond Bar-based nonprofits, and all except for Busch were women. This latter detail did not deter Busch. The group got along well and met almost every week. However, within a few months, members started to drop off because of their commitments to other nonprofits and projects. By late fall 2012, Busch was the only individual still showing up. This too did not deter him. continued next page

“I like to organize chaos so this project was a welcome challenge,” said Busch. “I had an employer once tell me I knew how ‘to eat an elephant’.” When you talk Diamond Bar history with Busch, it is easy to see why he made a strong impression on his past employer and likely others as well. He is a consummate organizer, detail-oriented, and passionate about learning new things. Prior to joining the volunteer group, Busch says he did not know much about Diamond Bar’s history despite moving to the city in 1974 mostly because his career in international manufacturing took up the bulk of his time and even required him to temporarily relocate abroad for a few years. Fast forward to today, and Busch may be the one individual who knows the most about Diamond Bar’s history. That’s because over the last 10 years that Busch has committed himself to the Diamond Bar History Project, he has devoted a significant amount of time and energy to conducting
Transition to District-Based City Council Elections The Diamond Bar City Council is in the process of transitioning its elections from at-large voting, where voters citywide elect all five council members, to a district-based system, where voters in each district elect only one council member who must also live in that district. The change was prompted by a letter the City received earlier this year from an attorney representing a Latino voter registration nonprofit alleging racially-polarized voting was taking place in Diamond Bar, in violation of the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA), and demanding the City change its City Council elections to a district-based system to avoid litigation. In recent years, numerous local governments statewide that have faced similar threats of CVRA litigation have voluntarily instituted “by-district” elections to avoid the risk of liability for significant attorney's fees and settlement costs that can potentially reach the millions of dollars. Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010, in order to avoid being sued, the City needs to complete the process of transitioning from at-large to by-district elections by early May 2022. Resident participation and input is welcome and encouraged. To learn more and to sign up for email or text notifications regarding the districting process, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/districting.
District Map Drawing Workshop on April 9 and 16 Alternatively, both paper and online mapping tools are available on the City website
research and making connections with individuals that help him fill in the holes and uncover new details to make Diamond Bar’s history more complete. When Busch finds interesting history bits, he enjoys sharing them with others by posting them on the You Know You Grew Up in Diamond Bar When...” Facebook group page. “I like the way history brings people together,” Busch said. “It gets other people to share stories of how they remember things being.” “It’s how we keep history alive, and I always wonder when the next Diamond Bar history gem will turn up” he added. When he is not spending time researching or working on something related to Diamond Bar history, Busch enjoys catching up with friends over breakfast. He also repairs baseball gloves for Cal State Fullerton, a part-time job he has held for the last 22 years. April 2022 Diamond Bar Connection
Residents have two opportunities this month to attend an in-person workshop where they can weigh in on what the new districts for the election of City Council members should look like until the 2030 Census. A district map-drawing workshop will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 9 at Heritage Park, located at 2900 S Brea Canyon Road, and again at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 16 at the Diamond Bar Center, located at 1600 Grand Avenue. Both workshops will present the same information. By attending one of these two workshops, residents can learn about the process and legal requirements of dividing the city into voting districts, and get help and guidance on how to draw and submit their own district maps for City Council’s consideration. Residents who are unable to attend either of the in-person workshops can still provide their ideas on how the new districts should be drawn by using a printable map or an online mapping tool available on the City’s website at www.diamondbarca.gov/districting. There is no limit to the number of maps any one resident can submit, and the proposed maps can delineate boundaries for a single district in one part of town or for multiple districts citywide so long as they adhere to the Fair Maps Act (AB 849) and AB 1276, passed in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The period for public map submissions closes Tuesday, April 12. To request interpreter services (American Sign Language or non-English language) for the April 9 or 16 workshop, call (909) 839-7055 or email districting@diamondbar.civicservice.com as soon as possible to ensure services can be arranged. 4

Preparing for SB 1383: Residential Organics Recycling Diamond Bar’s two waste haulers are getting ready to roll out a food scrap and organic material collection program to its residential customers in compliance with SB 1383. The Valley Vista Service (VVS) program will be in effect no later than the end of May, and the Waste Management (WM) program will start July 1. Information on how each program will work will be mailed to every household by their respective waste hauler prior to their program implementation dates. The following provides an answer to one of the most common questions residents have about complying with this state mandate. Q. I understand organic waste is both food and green waste, but can you provide examples of what I should and should not put in the green bin instead of the trash bin? A. Correct. Organic waste comprises food and green waste, but it also includes some wood and paper products generated by households on a frequent basis. Here is a list of items you should and should not throw in your green bin.
Niagara Bottling became part of the Diamond Bar business community in the fall of 2019 when it relocated its corporate headquarters within the Gateway Corporate Center. Since its establishment in 1963, Niagara Bottling has grown to become largest familyowned and operated bottled water company in the United States. Beyond producing and supplying bottled water to many of the nation’s leading retailers, this company supports local and national charitable organizations and causes that focus on children and families in need. Residents looking for a new job or career close to home will be glad to learn the Diamond Bar office is currently hiring for a variety of positions ranging from customer service representatives and lab technicians to Director of Human Resources. Learn more about Niagara Bottling by checking out a quick promotional video posted on the City’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/DiamondBarCA.

Home Digging Project Safety If you are planning any home improvement or landscaping project that requires digging or excavating, remember that you must first make a toll-free call to the USA Underground Service Alert (811). When you call 811, local utility companies are alerted of your planned project so they can go locate any underground wires in around the excavation spot. The service is free but you must call at least two days in advance of your planned project. Not calling 811 before starting any project be it as simple as planting a tree or installing a mailbox can lead to damage of underground utility pipes, which can have serious consequences. As a reminder, utility-owned lines are typically located from the street to your meters; piping and cabling between the meter and your appliances or equipment belong to and are the responsibility of the property owner. For more information, visit www.call811.com or call 8-1-1. April 2022 Diamond Bar Connection
