• Always apply sunscreen and limit exposure during mid-day.
• When participating in outdoor activities, do so with a buddy and pace yourself in the heat.

• Never leave children, infants or pets inside vehicles.
• Provide pets with plenty of water and shade.

Summer energy saving tips

With temperatures expected to be over 100 degrees, energy conservation during peak hours (4-9 p.m.) is crucial.

Raising your AC temperature is one of the most effective ways to save energy. Try setting your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits.

Limiting the use of ovens, stoves, dishwashers and laundry machines; closing your blinds to block the sun's heat; and using ceiling fans that spin counterclockwise are all good ways to help save energy and preserve your home's internal temperature.

Celebrate Smart Irrigation Month

This July, remember to make every drop of water count by using it wisely. This is especially important during a drought, but it's also crucial to maintain these habits even when water is plentiful. Using water efficiently is always a good practice, particularly for landscapes, as most water use occurs outdoors to keep them thriving. 

Lower permit fees for home-based businesses 

To encourage small businesses, home-based business permit fees have been lowered from $175 to $50.

A Home Occupation Permit is required for businesses operating from a personal residence where the residents are the employees.
