For those unable to attend the last meeting due to other commitments, we are posting the video here for your viewing. This was a hybrid meeting (both in-person and remote). There were audio quality issues, and unexpected Internet connectivity issues. When you reach those portions of the recording, let it continue playing. It is not your system experiencing issues. The image pause or audio dropouts occurred from the unstable internet connection. We will try to correct that for future meetings.

RECAP of County “Meet & Greet” Community Meeting, Aug. 15th

Plan to Convert Monterey/Bernal EIH site to a Jail Diversion Program

The County of Santa Clara has offered to purchase the Bernal/Monterey Emergency Interim Housing Site (6066 Monterey Road at the intersection of Bernal) from the City of San Jose, for the purpose of refocusing it into a jail diversion facility. The County’s proposal involves replacing the homeless residents of this site with individuals from collaborative courts – adults with underlying problems that lead to criminal behavior, including mental illness, substance use disorders or both.

The community had many questions about how the program would be run at the August 15th meeting that were not able to be answered.  This new meeting on Sept. 11th is an opportunity to ask more questions and voice your opinion about the program.    

LPNA does not take a position on controversial subjects.  This information is being provided to keep our members informed about what is going on in our neighborhood and surrounding area, and to provide an opportunity for our members to express their view to the relevant parties, such as County Staff and representatives, City Staff and City Council members.

Please see FULL RECAP that was sent out on 9/3/24 for more details on the Jail Diversion Program and information on how you can weigh in on the project.

Voting and Voter Registration

Posted on by 24x7 WP Support

This was discussed previously, but given the seriousness of the issue, it warrants a revisit. The General Election this November is EXTREMELY important at all levels (Federal, State, County, and City). Everyone needs to participate by voting, and not simply gripe about issues from the sideline.

With all the news reports regarding voter fraud, mail delivery delays, and some states clearing voter registration rolls, do your due diligence!

    1. Make sure you are registered to vote
    2. Vote! (Either by mail, or in person)
    3. Verify your vote was counted

Every vote counts!

Navigate to the Santa Clara County website and verify the validity of your voter registration information.  If for some reason, your registration was dropped, register online.

After you vote, particularly if by mail, track your ballot on the county website to ensure it was received/counted, and not dropped due to a technicality, or mismatched signatures, etc. If voting by mail, return the ballot ASAP via US mail, or drop it off at a designated drop-off  location.

Reporting Illegal Fireworks

Posted on by 24x7 WP Support

With the summer holidays approaching, the warmer weather, fire season, and school drawing to a close there will undoubtedly be people with more time on their hands. Often, it ends with mischievous behavior, if not outright illegal. One of the prevalent problems facing our community is the repeated use of fireworks. Fireworks in the City of San Jose are illegal!

Many in the community worked tirelessly with the City and law enforcement agencies to update the City’s laws and enforcement policies regarding the use of illegal fireworks.

The city is taking a slightly different approach this year.  They are requesting to NOT report illegal fireworks via the police emergency or non-emergency phone numbers. Instead, they updated their 311 app to allow quicker and more efficient reporting of illegal fireworks.

    • Use of the app in anonymous mode results only in data collection for trouble spots around the city, and no citations issued.
    • However, if you log in to the 311 app, code enforcement will be notified and citations issued to the offending party
