Chris Granillo completed the longest mural in Emeryville – an astounding 275 linear feet - last January on the western façade of the Emerytech building adjacent to the railroad tracks.

The work was funded by the City’s Visual Art Grants, issued every even year and is visible from Shellmound Street.

WORD

FROM OUR CITY MANAGER

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Welcome to the Summer City News & Activity Guide for the City of Emeryville! As your City Manager, I am thrilled to share with you an exciting lineup of programs and activities designed to bring our community together and enrich our daily lives. This summer, we are proud to offer a diverse range of recreational programs — from sports, fitness classes to martial arts, and community gatherings. Each program has thoughtfully planned to cater to all ages and interests, ensuring there is something for everyone. I am also delighted to announce that we received Assemblywoman Mia Bonta’s District 18 award for the 2024 Arts & Festival of the Year. The City of Emeryville won this recognition for the 2024 Harvest Festival, highlighting our ongoing commitment to creating memorable community events.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to IKEA for their generous donation of equipment for our Teen Center. Their support has made it possible for us to enhance this space into a dynamic hub where our young residents can connect, learn, and grow in a safe and welcoming environment.

Additionally, I want to highlight the incredible work of the ECCL and the various community activities they coordinate. Their commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community is evident in every event and program they offer. I encourage each of you to take advantage of these opportunities—participate, engage, and experience firsthand the positive impact these activities have on our community.

I am also excited to share that Sutter Health has announced plans to build a new, state-of-theart medical campus right here in Emeryville. This $1 billion investment will feature a 1.3 millionsquare-foot facility, including a 200-bed hospital with emergency services, intensive care, labor and delivery, outpatient clinics, and imaging services. The new medical center is expected to begin serving patients as early as 2028, with full completion by 2033. This development will significantly enhance healthcare access for our residents and underscores Emeryville's growth as a regional hub for quality medical services. vitals.sutterhealth.org Let’s work together to make this season one of connection, creativity, and active living. Explore the City News and & Activity Guide Summer 2025, join in the fun, and help us #EnjoyEmeryville to its fullest!

Thank you for being an integral part of our community. I look forward to seeing you out and about, making memories and strengthening the bonds that make Emeryville such a special place to live.

Warm Regards, LaTanya Bellow City Manager, City of Emeryville

YOUTH PROGRAMS

LEADERS IN

TRAINING A M Y M CCLURE AKA LADYBUG Question: How long have you been working at The Rec? Answer: I started in the Fall of 2022. The first year and a half, I was a TK/K Rec Leader and then became a Rec Specialist, working on the curriculum piece for the afterschool and summer camp programs.

Q: What's your favorite Rec Memory?

A: "Recs-giving" is always a favorite memory each year.

Sharing a meal with our Rec families and being in one space all together is a special time of connection and joy.

Q: What's your favorite Rec Activity?

A: I have two: Tasty Tuesday/Middle School Cooking Club: I love the excitement the kids have each week for it - wondering what they'll be making and eating. Quite often, they're learning and trying something new! and this year, we started Spirit of Rec Pride - A monthly assembly in which each group has a chance to win the Spirit Staff for their class, symbolizing that their group embodies the Best of Rec (through leadership, acts of service, conflict resolution, responsibility, etc.). It's been amazing witnessing the transition from Rec Leader-led to student-led presentations as their confidence and skills develop throughout the year.

Q: What hobbies do you do outside of Rec? A: I love traveling, reading, hiking, geocaching, photography, and baking

PREPARING FOR A DISASTER IF YOU HAVE A PET Bark Park on Powell

Your pets are an important member of your family, so they need to be included in your family’s emergency plan. To prepare for the unexpected follow these tips with your pets in mind: Step 1: Ensure your pets' safety by having an evacuation plan, arranging backup care, and keeping their identification up to date.

1. Plan where to take your pets if evacuation is needed, as many shelters/hotels don’t allow them.

2. Arrange a buddy system with neighbors or friends in case you're unavailable.

3. Microchip pets and keep contact info updated.

4. Check with local emergency agencies for pet-specific guidance.

Step 2: Prepare essential supplies like food, water, medicine, ID tags, carriers, and sanitation items.

1. Food & Water (several days’ supply, airtight storage) 2. Medicine (extra doses in a waterproof container) 3. First Aid Kit (ask your vet for recommendations) 4. ID & Documents (collar, tag, registration, medical records) 5. Carrier & Leash (one per pet) 6. Sanitation Supplies (litter, waste bags, disinfectants) 7. Comfort Items (favorite toys, bedding) 8. Photo of You & Your Pet (for identification if lost) Step 3: Sign up for emergency alerts, follow evacuation orders, and monitor weather updates. Always bring pets indoors at the first sign of danger to keep them safe.

For more info, visit ready.gov/pets.

PUBLIC WORKS BULKY WASTE PICK-UP DOESN’T FIT IN YOUR TRASH CART? NO PROBLEM! Twice a year, Emeryville single-family neighborhood residents can set out “bulky” items or items that don’t get collected in regular trash collection. One of those pickups can be scheduled individually by calling Waste Management at (510) 613-8710. The other pickup is the Annual Spring Neighborhood Collection, every April.

USED BATTERIES? EASY RECYCLING! Residential properties with gray curbside recycling carts can also recycle batteries for free. To recycle, tape a clear plastic, sealed bag of batteries (all alkaline, small button, rechargeable and cell phone batteries) onto the curbside recycling cart and set out on the normal collection day. Property managers of other residential buildings should contact Waste Management at (510) 613-8710 for free disposal options.

Note: If you live in an apartment or residential complex not in this zone, your property manager can arrange two free collections for your property by calling Waste Management.
