Never feed or attempt to tame coyotes. The result may be deadly conflicts with pets or livestock, or serious injuries to small children. Do not leave small children or pets outside unattended. Be aware that coyotes are more active in the spring, when feeding and protecting their young. If followed by a coyote, make loud noises. If this fails, throw rocks in the animal s direction. Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over. Remove sources of water, especially in dry climates. Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey. Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, etc. Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles. Trim ground-level shrubbery and low level tree branches to reduce hiding places. Close off crawl spaces by installing secured wire mesh. Ask your neighbors to follow these tips. Please call the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Temple Station at (626) 285-7171 for aggressive coyotes.

BUILDING PERMITS Building permits are required for all new construction, repairs, additions, and alterations to existing construction. South El Monte property owners should always first review with the City of South El Monte Building and Safety Department before commencing any project. A building permit is an official approval to proceed with a construction project. It is intended to ensure that the project plans comply with City Municipal Code, LA County Code, and California State Building Code. These standards are intended to ensure the safety of current and future owners and occupants, and the enforcement of all building codes. Failure to obtain a permit when required by law will result in fines, penalties and even demolition of unauthorized construction. Fines will be given for each violation. Some examples of when a building permit is required: Upgrading an existing building or changing its use Creating new rooms or spaces within an existing building Building a deck or gazebo Enclosed patios New roofs/ re-roofing Fireplaces Storage Sheds (120 and above sq. ft.)
