FALL 2012

Special report inside “A Community Connected: The 2012-14 Budget Story” illustrates how the City provides services on behalf of the community, and highlights some of the financial challenges we face going forward. You’ll find this special report inside the Nutshell.

Calling volunteers Community Service Day is set for Saturday, Oct. 6. Last year, more than 1,000 people gave a half day to work on one of 42 projects. This year, more than 50 projects are waiting for eager volunteers. A list of projects and sign-up information starts on Page 5.

City Hall counters to close on Fridays The following public counters will be closed on Fridays starting in September: Business License; Community Development (Planning and Building); Public Services (Engineering and Traffic); and non-emergency Police Services. The change reflects the impact of staff reductions over time and will give existing staff the ability to still provide excellent customer service Monday through Thursday while fulfilling other necessary duties on Fridays. More information, including exact start date, will be posted at City Hall and on our website.

11,703 and counting Naomi Rotramel of Davey Trees measures a tree as part of an inventory currently under way thanks to a grant from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Trees on public streets, in parks, and in the Open Space areas around ranger homes and picnic areas are among those being counted. The inventory notes the tree’s location, species, size, age and condition, as well as other factors. Having this information readily available will help the City proactively take care of its trees.

Need to feed the meter? Phone it in!

P

aying for parking at Walnut Creek’s meters used to mean searching for coins to feed the meter. Then, the City added a pay-bycredit card option. Now here comes Option 3: Pay by phone. The program is being tested at meters on Locust Street. Customers using the service can: • pay for parking from their phone • receive a text reminder when time is almost up • add time without returning to the meter (subject to time limits) To get started, download the app at

www.walnut-creek.org In a Nutshell ◆ Fall 2012

www.paybyphone.com or call the phone number posted on participating meters. There is no cost to the City for this service; however, customers pay a 25-cent per transaction fee to PayByPhone. While the service is new to Walnut Creek, it’s already in place in more than 30 cities in the United States, including Sacramento and San Francisco. Just look for the PayByPhone sticker on the side of a parking meter.

An exhibition to ‘capture’ imagination

A

rtists have long looked to the natural world as a source book for creative projects and strategies.

This dynamic show runs from Sept. 6 Nov. 18. An opening reception will be Thursday, Sept. 6, 6 – 8 p.m. Tours are available for school classes and adult groups. Call 925-295-1423.

Shadelands Gateway Specific Plan Update Public meetings 4th Friday of each month, 6:30 p.m. City Hall An advisory committee tasked with creating a draft Specific Plan to guide future development of 25-acres owned by Safeway Stores, Inc. at the corner of Oak Grove and Ygnacio Valley Road is reviewing a variety of potential land uses. Over the past several months, the 11 members of the Shadelands Gateway Advisory Committee committee have reviewed technical reports, including a market demand study and a preliminary traffic assessment; and received public comments from City residents, including Woodlands and Northgate community members.

Creek’s libraries. She joined the Contra Costa Library system in 2003 and was most recently head librarian in Orinda. Since libraries are places to get information, we dropped in to welcome Caroline and ask a few questions. Q. You’ve been here a few months; what is Caroline Gick your impression of Walnut Creek’s libraries? Walnut Creek’s libraries are well loved and well used community centers. There are people (at the new library) working all day with their laptops, study group rooms being used for small meetings, and parents and children coming to programs. It’s a lively environment where people are doing whatever they want to do. Q. What is the biggest misconception about libraries? That we are all about books. We offer so much more! For instance, library card holders can

You don’t even have to come to the library — so much is available online. Q. Have you been here long enough to think about future goals for Walnut Creek’s libraries? My overriding goal is to bring new people into the library who have not been here before. We don’t always do a good job of telling our story. I would love to go out and talk to community groups about everything we have to offer.
