Hi
Good day neighbor.
The week started out with some rain. It does look like this year's storms have brought more
rain to the Southland than we received all last year when it was supposed to be super wet. Ah, such is life. I can say, yards and plants in the neighborhood are looking much greener.
Traffic Study Report & Update On Tuesday January 10 at 7:00 pm, the RCSD meeting will have a presentation by Deepthi Arabolu from the County Traffic Engineering Department on the Rossmoor Traffic study that was finally delivered to the RCSD, RHA, and LAUSD in late October.
If you want to know more about the traffic study or have questions, please plan to attend the RCSD meeting at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow evening at Rush Park.
The 605 Village Project The 605 Village Project which has been working its way through the approval process in Los Alamitos. This project will build a strip mall with Whole Food’s Market 365 as one of the anchor stores. The project is located on the former GTE/ SuperPages grounds on the north side of Katella between the 605 North Freeway on ramp and
Oak Street and south of the Oak Middle School fields.
The City Planning Commission approved the project and there was an appeal filed by a Seal Beach resident citing that the traffic and the signage impacts from the project have not been properly addressed.
A number of residents of Rossmoor and adjacent communities have expressed concern regarding the traffic impacts this project will create on Katella.
Also of concern is the shopping center’s high pylon sign potential for glare shining onto the north section of Rossmoor.
UPDATE: The issue will be addressed at SPECIAL MEETING of the Los Alamitos City Council meeting on MONDAY JANUARY 30th at 6:00 p.m. in th eLos Al Council Chmbers. Please attend and voice any opinions or concerns you may have about this project.
LA Fitness Health Club @ The
Shops Yes, our friends at the Shops at Rossmoor and LA Fitness have resubmitted essentially the same proposal that was withdrawn last fall.
Please get the details and comment if you wish prior to the January 30 public comment deadline. More details and links here on the RHA

We need three volunteers to help process the mail and post the information in the membership roll. This year we are conducting an all-resident community survey with the membership application process.
- One volunteer will open the incoming envelopes and sort the
contents: application forms, survey forms, and payment checks. The applications get sorted into alphabetical order by address and delivered to the membership roll data input volunteer. The survey forms are gathered and delivered to the survey data compiler volunteer. Payment checks are delivered to the RHA Treasurer.
- One volunteer will enter the application data into the
Membership roll. It is an Excel spreadsheet. This person must be touch-type proficient to perform this task in a timely manner.
- One volunteer will compile the survey data in an Excel spreadsheet. Typing skill for this task is not too demanding since the data is mainly tabulation of numbers and yes/no answers to the survey questions.
Please reply by email to our membership chair:
Everett W. Knell
Director & Membership Chairman

Rossmoor residents Bernie Beskind & Herb Halling coordinates the weekly Rossmoor Walk &
Talk meeting at Rush Park on Tuesday mornings at 10:30. That is unless it's raining, then there's no walk.
NEW WALK ADDED!
Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. at Rush Park, there is a new group of walkers. Plan to join them next Thursday to walk and talk
The program is simple enough, whoever attends forms groups of 2-4 people and walk around Rush Park and they talk. How long they walk, how fast they walk, and what they talk about is up to them. If you need a topic to talk about,
Bernie will be happy to help you out. It's a real Win-Win Bernie's idea creates an informal way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise at the same time. It could
save or at least extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really great people. And that is a huge win-win. Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages. The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park. If you have questions, please email Bernie (BernieB_90720@yahoo.com), or come see him on Tuesdays at 10:30 at Rush Park. Bernie will be the energetic guy with glasses, short hair, long in years and walking slowly. |

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have decreased over the past couple of months. This decrease is typical for the time of year. Unfortunately, it does not indicate the coyotes are not in Rossmoor. They are still here.
For those of you who have made reports, THANK YOU. You are helping us track coyote behavior which is critical to any future removal attempts.
Please continue to be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight, and NO NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).
Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program is continuing to collect reports and monitoring coyote behavior and
movement based on these reports. Please continue to report any coyote activity you see on the Rossmoor Wildlife Watch website.
If you would like to find out more about our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program and discover what we are doing, please sign up for more
information.
The coyote challenge we face here in Rossmoor and throughout Southern California does not have a magical "fix it" solution. It will take a community effort (that's you and me, not "them") to keep our pets safe and reduce the risks in our neighborhood. Please learn what you can do at your home and for everyone in
Rossmoor.
