Spring/Summer 2015

As this year’s rare, snowy Lake Elsinore winter thaws into spring we can look back on our successes and look forward to all that is yet to come.

Our City has been working aggressively to find ways to bring our community together and put our residents first. Whether it’s creating new recreational opportunities, reducing property taxes, or completing long-awaited community projects, one thing is certain – our citizens are top of mind.

In February 2015, the City Council approved a bond re-issuance that took advantage of favorable economic conditions to secure much needed funding for key projects while also reducing annual property tax levies for many of our residents. This creative move demonstrates our “out-of-the box” thinking to get things done. Through this process, the existing length of repayment terms for homeowners did not change and the City was able find a solution for several unfulfilled promises, putting our residents first. We will continue looking for innovative ways to add value to our neighborhoods while putting more money back in the pockets of our residents – money that will surely flow into our local economy.

Lake Elsinore is Southern California’s largest natural freshwater lake. We have a 3,000 acre playground right in the middle of our City where residents and tourists can come for hours of fun in the sun. This year’s boating season officially kicks off with free boating on Saturday, April 4th. In addition, for fishing aficionados, the Lake Elsinore Casino and Resort is once again sponsoring the annual Dream Extreme Fishing Tournament for all ages on May 2nd and 3rd. Other activities families can enjoy include the extreme sport Aquaflyboarding, water skiing and wakeboarding, bow fishing, or just a day on one of our many public beaches enjoying the water and the sun. And, this is just the beginning. At the City, we recognize that our lake is underutilized and undervalued. Our vision is to become the ULTIMATE lake destination and this year we are looking ways to bring more people to our lake. This includes stocking sport fish for our fishing aficionados, amending outdated ordinances that prohibit rather than invite visitors to our lake, and considering new amenities and events that take advantage of our greatest asset.

Of course, we can’t forget about baseball. On April 9th, the City’s 127th anniversary, our amazing partners, Storm Baseball will host their Opening Day for the 2015 Minor League Baseball Season. Playing in our beautiful Diamond Stadium, Storm Baseball has been providing our region with family fun at an incredible value for over two decades. There is no better way to enjoy a nice spring day then to come out and root for our home team.

As we celebrate our birthday, it seems natural that a city more than 127 years old could benefits from an annual spring cleaning. On April 25th, we will host our annual Award-winning community engagement event: Clean Extreme. Last year, this event saw its greatest turnout ever – with more than 650 people helping to revitalize Main Street. This year, we will focus our attention on the Grand Avenue/Highway 74 corridor including the Old Military Academy. Participants will enjoy a free barbecue and Storm Baseball tickets as our way of saying, “Thanks!”

These are just some of the things taking place in our City in the months to come. I invite you to join us as we continue to make Lake Elsinore a world class destination. We are incredibly fortunate to have so many residents and members of the business community that care so much for this City – you are all second to none. As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Let’s keep working together to Dream Extreme.

Warmest Regards, Steve Manos, Mayor City of Lake Elsinore

Wading waist deep is permitted at designated beaches.

WARNING! Watch your children! All children should be accompanied by an adult at all times near the water. Keep small children within arms reach.

CAUTION! Water & Alcohol Do Not Mix! Alcohol consumption is often linked to drowning, diving injuries, boating accidents and lack of supervision over children. Think before you drink!

For emergencies on the Lake call 911. For non-emergencies call Sheriff’s dispatch at 1.800.950.2444 or access Lake Patrol and LEMSAR on Marine Radio Stations #16 and #68.

The City and other local agencies work to maintain and preserve these areas; they are used to discharge and contain flood waters and have a one-in-100 chance of becoming flooded in any year. It is hard to imagine flooding during a drought, but all it takes is a week or more of heavy rain to cause flooding.

What can you do?

Throughout the dry part of the year, pollutants such as motor oil, antifreeze, trash, pet waste, and grease accumulate on streets and parking lots.

When rain finally does fall, the rain water carries these pollutants into the storm drain. Even common activities such as over watering lawns and landscaped areas, car washing and hosing down driveways or pet waste droppings cause pollutants to make their way into the storm drain. Before you throw something away or clean outside areas, ask yourself, will the waste end up in the storm drain?

If the answer is yes, we recommend you;
