The city’s Building & Safety Division has launched two new Internet services, enabling homeowners and contractors to schedule building inspections on-line and to obtain permits for simple repair and replacement projects. There’s no need to visit City Hall to schedule inspections for permitted construction and remodel projects; request them on-line at eInspections.smgov.net or by calling the eInspections interactive voice response (IVR) system at (310) 458-2202. After providing a valid construction permit number and address, on-line and telephone users may choose from a list of available inspection dates, view a history of past inspections and verify that a requested inspection has been scheduled. Now homeowners and contractors can obtain
permits online for projects that do not normally require
construction drawings or other special approvals, including
minor plumbing, electrical, mechanical work, kitchen and bath
remodels, and re-roofing. |
Stay
informed and on the move despite local construction activities that
affect motorist and pedestrian travel. Weekly updates are available on
the web at
knowB4Ugo.smgov.net, or
call “City Hall On Call” at (310) 458-8999 (enter 1 and then 716). TTY
users may call (310) 458-2243.

WE HEARD WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY!
The
city's 2006 Community Voices planning process garnered an astonishing
assortment of residents’ opinions on a wide range of human service
needs, with a special focus on seniors and families with after-school
program and childcare needs. This information will help guide the
development of funding priorities for the 2007 – 2010 grant cycle of the
Community Development program and
will
be used to refine Santa Monica’s direct service programs.
We are gr
ateful to the nearly 200 people who participated in one of 20
focus groups and more than 500 others who completed our survey either
on-line or on paper.
The full Community Voices report is available on-line at
www.smgov.net/hsd,
or request a copy by calling (310) 458-8701. A summary of the findings
and more information on how they will guide future funding decisions and
program planning will be in the next issue of
SeaScape.

TELL US YOUR
STORY
Everyone
knows they should be prepared for a disaster with at least seven days’
worth of food, water and supplies. The Santa Monica Fire Department and
the American Red Cross of Santa Monica, in partnership with CityTV, are

“I’ve Got 7!” story and inspire others to do the same. Want to brag on
that generator? The seven-day water supply you’ve got stashed away?
We’re looking for you!
Three winners will be videotaped for a CityTV feature to air during
Disaster Preparedness Month in May. It’s easy to enter! In one page or
less, tell us what’s in your disaster preparedness kit and why you
selected it, what motivated you to put it together and why you think
it’s important to have it. Include your name, address, phone number and
e-mail address (if applicable) and send your story to:
I’ve Got 7 Contest, American Red Cross, 1450 11th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
