Union City news letter

had a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of an excited crowd. The project was a vision for over 15 years and the result is a robust, transit-oriented community that encompasses approximately 100 acres around the Union City Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station. Developments to the east and west sides of the station bring residents and businesses together with local and regional transportation systems.

Title: City Engineer, Union City Public Works

Local businesses support the community by employing its citizens and paying taxes. Buying goods in our community helps maintain the City’s economic and cultural base. Additionally, with a multitude of small local businesses, everyone benefits by the greater product diversity and competition. Shop Local Union City is a FREE discount program that will patronize local businesses, add money to your wallet, help fund local charity organizations and community programs. The goal of the Shop Local campaign is to encourage citizens to think locally first, and shop locally whenever possible.

Emergency Alert System

The Union City Police Department (UCPD) utilizes an Emergency Alert System to allow for quick and effective communications about emergencies such as missing/at-risk persons, evacuation notices, safety concerns, etc. UCPD will contact residents via landline phone with a time-sensitive recorded message. UCPD will always identify themselves first then provide detailed instructions and contact information. Emergencies may happen at any hour of the day, and UCPD will only contact you if it is an emergency. Your contact information remains private and will only be used for emergency notifications. Please listen to the entire message as it has important information that could help you or someone in our community.

Business Licenses

Business licenses are an important part of the City’s operations. Primarily, the tax dollars that come from business licensing help pay for public service programs such as police and fire services, transportation and economic development. Business licenses insure compliance with the City’s municipal code, by identifying and registering your business.

Favorite Projects: Thomas enjoys projects that involve working with citizens directly, such as the sidewalk and tree replacement for Becket Drive. This project required coordination with 19 property owners, each of whom were very cooperative and was “a pleasure to work with”. Other Interests: Thomas enjoys traveling, and has visited Taiwan, mainland China, England, Ireland, Mexico and Canada as well as most of the 50 states. He also enjoys doing research on his family genealogy, and even discovered that his ancestors first arrived from Ireland to America in 1697.

If you have questions on how to obtain a business license, visit Union City’s website at www.UnionCity.org and click on “Revenue & Collections” to learn more or call (510) 675-5398.

BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2013

Most grocery stores, convenience stores, liquor stores and pharmacies in Alameda County will no longer provide single-use plastic bags for your purchases.

The new ordinance does not include restaurants, take-out food establishments, retail stores that don’t sell packaged food, or charitable thrift stores.

The goal is to reduce litter, keep plastic bags out of local waterways and encourage the use of reusable bags. Similar ordinances have been passed in San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles County and other communities throughout California.

Having trouble remembering to bring your own bag? Try keeping reusable bags in your car, so they are always on hand when you shop. It’s also helpful to store bags near the front door, the door leading to the garage, or wherever you keep your grocery list. For more info and tips, go to www.reusablebagsac.org or www.igotmybag.org/home.htm

Remember: Whenever you Shop…Bring Your Own Bag! Expecting a new electronic toy from Santa? If so, make sure to recycle that old TV or computer by taking advantage of our

FREE E-Waste Drop-off Event Saturday, January 12, 2013 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

In the parking lot next to WalMart @ Union Landing It’s a fast, easy and convenient way to properly dispose of unwanted electronic items. Simply drive up and Tri-CED workers will assist in the unloading of old television sets, computer monitors, hard drives, laptops, keyboards, printers, telephones, DVDs and other e-waste. For more information, please contact Tri-CED at 429-8030 or the City’s Recycling Coordinator at 675-5466

While you’re in the neighborhood, drop off your electronic waste! Since Tri-CED also accepts electronic waste, residents can also drop off that old TV, computer, monitor, laptop, keyboard, printer, telephone, DVD and other e-waste. There is no charge! Simply bring any of the above items and we’ll unload it for you. The e-waste drop off also takes place from 9 am to 3 pm.

Returns for Alameda County Residents Alameda County residents now have the chance to win prizes year round by keeping recyclable and compostable materials out of their trash, and in the correct bins. During regular garbage collection days throughout the year, the Ready Set Recycle Prize Crew will select random garbage bins and separate the contents into three categories: recyclables, compostables and garbage. Households with the least amount of recyclables and compostables in their garbage relative to the whole bin could be appointed a ‘Star Sorter’ and receive $50 prizes in cash or gift cards. Alameda County residents can also participate in the contest and win prizes by playing the Speed Sorter Game and pledging to recycle at www.ReadySetRecycleContest.Org. Names will be chosen at random and monthly winners will receive a $15 gift card from Peet’s Coffee, Jamba Juice, Safeway and more.
