Month-Long Scavenger Hunt Are you up for a fun challenge? The City’s Windmill Hunt is taking place all month long in commemoration of Diamond Bar’s 36 years of cityhood. Approximately a dozen windmill signs will be hidden at various community parks, trails and facilities around town, with a list of clues available to help participants fund them. This is a do-at-your-own-pace scavenger hunt that is open to Diamond Bar residents of all ages, and can be completed alone or with a group of family members or friends. Everyone who completes the scavenger hunt will be rewarded with a goodie bag filled with branded giveaways. Participation is free. However, advance registration is required to receive the goodie bag.

DiamondBarCa.govApril 2025 Diamond Bar Connection 4 Starting in September, Valley Vista Services will be the residential waste and recycling service provider and Waste Management will start providing service to commercial customers. This change is the culmination of a year-and-a-half long process the City undertook to negotiate new service agreements with waste haulers before their existing ones expire at the end of August 2025. Both Waste Management and Valley Vista Services have served Diamond Bar since 2000. However, currently Waste Management serves residential accounts and Valley Vista handles commercial accounts. After reviewing proposals from both waste haulers, the Diamond Bar City Council at its regular meeting of Jan. 16, 2024 decided to enter into a residential services agreement with Valley Vista Services, and a commercial services agreement with Waste Management. The new 10-year agreements, which take effect Sept. 1, 2025, will result in reduced rates for the first year – nearly 11% for residential accounts, and 7% for commercial accounts. Information on what to expect and how to prepare for the change in waste haulers will be shared over the next few months using all City communication channels. These channels include this newsletter, the City’s website and social media platforms, and mailed correspondence from both the City and the waste haulers. For more information, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/greendb or contact the Environmental Services team at 909-839-7015 or greendb@diamondbarca.gov. Diamond Bar Has a New Community Relations Deputy Educating and working with the community to enhance public safety and crime prevention is a key responsibility of the City’s community relations deputy. As of February, this position is held by Nancy Farias who took over for Deputy Aaron Scheller, who formerly held the position since 2013 and retired at the end of March. Deputy Farias began her career in public service in 2000, starting in the nursing field before transitioning to law enforcement in 2007. She has been with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for nearly two decades, with the last seven years spent at the Walnut/Diamond Bar Sheriff’s station. In addition to working patrol, Farias has experience working shifts as field training officer and watch commander. At the heart of her new role as community relations deputy is serving as a liaison between the City and Sheriff’s Department and the community. Deputy Farias’ responsibilities include enhancing community outreach and engagement under the City’s Let’s Talk Public Safety program that includes Coffee with a Cop, Neighborhood and Business Watch, and Safety Speak. To read and subscribe to the monthly Safety Speak blog, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/safetyspeak.

Coming!Change in Waste Haulers DiamondBarCa.govApril 2025 Diamond Bar Connection 5 Next City Presentation to Focus on Public Safety Law enforcement, fire protection, and animal control all form part of the City’s comprehensive public safety program. Information about the services provided in each of these areas, statistics, and crime prevention tips will be shared at the next City Government Explained presentation taking place 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 9 at City Hall, 21810 Copley Drive. Launched by the City in 2023, City Government Explained is a series of eight presentations aimed at facilitating residents’ understanding of how City government works. The presentations in these series are independent of each other so individuals can attend based on their interest in the topics. Participation is free and open to Diamond Bar residents age 13 and older. Refreshments, snacks, and door prizes are provided. Space is limited and advance registration is required by calling or texting 909-839-7056 or emailing publicinfo@diamondbarca.gov. For more information, visit www.diamondbarca.gov/community. Authorized Curb Address Repainting Effort A citywide residential curb address repainting effort is currently underway and expected to continue through early July. The work is being done by two nonprofits – Canning Hunger and Care for the Children – at no cost to residents. However, they are allowed to request voluntary donations. Per the City-issued permit, curb address repainting is allowed to take place 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday in residential neighborhoods. Canning Hunger work crews are working on addresses south of Grand Avenue, while those representing Care for the Children are covering the area north of Grand Avenue. Workers from both nonprofits carry a copy of the City-issued work permit as well as company identification. If approached by an individual asking for a donation for curb painting services, residents may to ask to see both these documents. As a reminder, there is no obligation to pay for unsolicited services – if the individual performing curb address painting services is demanding payment instead of just asking for a donation, or if they cannot produce a copy of the permit and company identification, residents should call the Walnut/ Diamond Bar Sheriff’s Station at 909-595-2264. Questions regarding the curb address painting effort may be directed to City’s Public Works Department at 909-839-7040 or publicworks@diamondbarca.gov. April 30 Public Safety Presentation The City is again bringing together Diamond Bar’s public safety service providers under one roof for an informative presentation. Meet Your Public Safety Service Providers, as the presentation is called, will take place 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 30 at Diamond Bar City Hall, located at 21810 Copley Drive. It will feature representatives from the City, the Los Angeles County fire and sheriff’s departments, and the Inland Valley Humane Society and S.P.C.A. (IVHS). Topics to be covered during the presentation include annual statistics on citywide crime data and calls for service, suspicious activity reporting, emergency preparedness and wildfire readiness. There will be time to speak directly with each of the presenters immediately after the presentation. Free snacks, drinks, and giveaways will be available. Additionally, attendees age 13 and older will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of various door prizes. Due to limited seating, advance registration is required. Residents can secure their spot by visiting www.diamondbarca.gov/ltps. Those unable to attend the presentation on April 30 will have two more opportunities on Sept. 24 and Oct. 29. For more details or help with registration, contact the City’s Community Relations Division by calling or texting 909-839-7019 or emailing publicinfo@diamondbarca.gov. Several Intersections Receive Safety Improvements In a continuing effort to make Diamond Bar roads safer for people traveling on foot or bicycle, the City last month completed a series of safety-related improvements at nine busy intersections. These intersections, mostly located along Diamond Bar Boulevard and Golden Springs Drive, were identified in the City’s 2020 Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) as high-priority areas for safety improvements. The improvements made to the nine intersections included installing extra traffic signal heads and enhancing the crosswalk visibility. Some of the locations also got accessibility upgrades to the countdown timers so they provide audible walk indications to pedestrians. To watch a video that provides more information about this project, visit the City’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/@cityofdiamondbar.
