New La Sierra food hub connects local farmers and restaurants, undefeated Ramona Rams face Riverside Poly in Friday’s Solar Bowl, and Fire Department seeks input on its 10–15 year master plan (survey open through Sept. 29).
The undefeated Ramona Rams will put their perfect season on the line Friday when they face Riverside Poly in the Solar Bowl at 7 p.m. at Wheelock Field on the RCC campus.
The Fire Department is developing a master plan to guide its operations over the next decade and is asking residents to share their priorities through an online survey.
The department has partnered with AP Triton, LLC, a public safety consulting firm, to gather community feedback on service priorities, planning elements, and resident expectations. The survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, is available through 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 29.
"Your feedback is essential to a meaningful survey," the department stated in its announcement.
The survey asks residents to weigh in on several key areas, including which fire department services they consider most important, planning priorities for the department, and their expectations for service levels, response times, and communication methods. The department also wants to know what it does particularly well, any concerns about current services or service delivery, and additional suggestions for the master plan.
All responses will remain confidential, with compiled results to be published in AP Triton's final report. The master plan will guide the department's efforts for the next 10 to 15 years.
