Take LPFD survey
The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department has opened its “Community Risk Assessment” online survey to receive key resident input to guide departmental planning ahead.
“We believe that the best way to serve the communities of Livermore and Pleasanton is by understanding the needs and concerns,” LPFD officials said. “By sharing your insights and experiences, you help us identify the specific risks and challenges our community’s face. Your feedback will directly influence how we allocate our resources and respond to emergencies.”
The survey closes June 7. Access it at www.surveymonkey.com/r/LPFD-CommunitySurvey.
Cone with a Cop
Pleasanton residents will have the chance to congregate with city police officers in a communal setting next week as the Pleasanton Police Department and Meadowlark Dairy combine to present the annual Cone with a Cop event.
“It’s a fantastic family affair and an opportunity to chat about public safety while enjoying some (free) ice cream,” city officials said. “We encourage attendees to walk or bike to the dairy to avoid traffic slowdowns.”
The event is set for Wednesday (May 29) from 2-4 p.m. at Meadowlark Dairy at 57 W. Neal St. in downtown Pleasanton.
Prescribed burn at LLNL site
The Alameda County Fire Department is set to conduct an annual prescribed burn next week at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Site 300, the lab’s experimental test site south of Tracy.
“The purpose of the prescribed burn is to protect Site 300 by helping to prevent wildfires from spreading to or from the site. This process involves careful burning along the site fence line and in portions of the site interior under controlled conditions,” LLNL reps said.
The operation is expected to start on or after Tuesday (May 28), but officials noted the schedule is “heavily dependent on appropriate weather conditions” so is subject to change. For more information, go to enviroinfo.llnl.gov.
Special ed leadership change
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District will be looking for new leadership for its special education department as current executive director Frank Selvaggio has accepted a comparable new job on the Peninsula.
Selvaggio, who has held the position in LVJUSD since 2017 and has 25 years of education experience overall, was hired this month by the Mountain View Whisman School District as its next director of special education starting in the new school year. The news was first reported last week by our sister publication, the Mountain View Voice.
