The Upland Housing Authority's administrative office and public housing site, Los Olivos, is getting it's first landscaping redesign since it was built in 1943.
The new design, which is called xeriscaping, will incorporate computer controlled "smart" irrigation and replace approximately 200,000 square feet of existing grass turf with drought-
tolerant plants native to California. The change is expected to reduce water consumption at the site by almost 50 percent, according to a city news release.
The 13-acre site at 1200 N. Campus Ave. is receiving funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The project, which will be done by Pierre Sprinkler and Landscape, is expected to be completed by the end of the summer.
Upland Housing Authority worked with Noresco and Green Product Solutions to develop a design that would provide long-term savings to the Upland Housing Authority, while maintaining and attractive uniform look throughout the site.
Colorful grasses and flowering shrubs will make up the majority of the design.
Once completed, the Housing Authority will hold an open house to share the results with the community.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved a $4,500 allocation Tuesday to assist the San Antonio Community Hospital Foundation, according to a county news release.
The foundation is currently raising money to help finance the Upland-based hospital's $100 million expansion and improvement plans, which are expected to start in 2010.
"San Antonio Community Hospital has been providing quality medical care in our community for more than 100 years and I'm proud to support the hospital's efforts to expand and improve its facility to meet the growing demand for health care in our region," said San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane, in the news release.
Biane and Board of Supervisors Chairman Gary Ovitt, requested the funds, according to the release.
San Antonio Community Hospital is adding 52 emergency room beds and a new tower with 92 patient beds. The hospital is also making mandated seismic improvements and plans to purchase new state-of-the-art medical equipment to monitor patients' vital signs.
The expansion aims to further improve and streamline patient care at the hospital by nearly doubling the size of the emergency room and separating it into three sections: urgent care, emergency medicine and critical care. The emergency room at San Antonio Community Hospital takes in approximately 200 patients a day and nearly 70,000 annually.

Marcie Brown, who is currently a principal in the Azusa Unified School District, will become principal of Valencia Elementary School beginning in July.
The Upland Unified School District Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Brown during the June 16 board meeting.
"I'm confident she will hit the ground running and take over that great professional learning community," said District Superintendent Gary Rutherford during the meeting.
Brown was one of 63 applicants who applied for the position. From the 63 applicants, eight were reviewed by a board of classified, certificated and management employees as well as some parents of students enrolled at Valencia Elementary School. The board then picked the final two.
"I really met two wonderful people and I'm very pleased to say that we picked the candidate who I know is going to be an outstanding match for Valencia," Rutherford said.
Brown was initially trained as a teacher and literacy specialist. She earned her doctorate from University of La Verne where she studied and did her dissertation schools that made 40 point gains in API (Academic Performance Index) and looking at common strategies and trends that support student learning, Rutherford said.
"On a personal level she is very student centered, calm, thoughtful and I see her as being a good match," he said.

When quilt-enthusiast Martha Gerety found a quilt in an Upland thrift shop she knew she had to find the former owner.
Gerety recognized the quilt as being a "Job's Daughters Honored Queen Quilt," which was given to Elizabeth Boyd in 1977.
The quilt was a presentation gift to Boyd when she served as Queen to her Job's Daughters Chapter in San Diego, CA. in 1977.
Job's Daughters is a service oriented non-profit that unites young women who share Masonic heritage.
The quilt was misplaced and ended up in the thrift shop where Gerety found it.
Persistent detective work on Gerety's part resulted in her locating Boyd, who by coincidence lives in the same city as Gerety's son.
Gerety returned to quilt to its owner when visiting her son, who is the owner of a Dominoes franchise, Arizona.

Cities are only allowed to take a certain percentage of tax money by state law and must adjust their limit yearly.
Upland approved it's limit during Monday's city council meeting.
The appropriations limit for the 2009-10 fiscal year is $65,517,163, but the amount subject to the limitation is $31,249,828. Upland is more than $34 million under the appropriation limit.

State officials are proposing to take 8 percent of property tax away from local governments to help fix the State's budget crisis.
The tax raid will act as a loan to the state.
Upland is projected to lose $1.6 to $1.7 million.
"It's really easy to be a legislator when there's a lot of money," said Upland Mayor John Pomierski. "It's obviously a challenge when there isn't and we're all in a very challenging position right now. It's time to step up and do the right thing and the state really needs to step up."
The League of California Cities has created resolution with the support of more than 200 cities to fight the state's proposal.
Upland is considering joining other cities in taking the fight to Sacramento, Pomierski said.
"It's got to stop, it just needs to stop," Pomierski said.
"We're sick and tired of it, do your damn job. And I'm really disappointed in our governor, that he won't veto anything. He hasn't live up to his promises either. You can't be popular and do the work you have to do all the time."
Pomierski and the council were criticized a few years ago for temporarily removing a fire truck from duty to save the city money, he said.
"Nine years ago the first thing we did on the first meeting was park a fire truck to save $1 million a year," he said. "It was a really really tough decision, but we had to do it and the proof is in the pudding. A year later we put the truck back in play and started our recovery."
The currently has $10.9 million in reserves after making nearly $5 million in cuts in the last six months.
The 2009-2010 operating budget, approved during Monday's council meeting, is more than $40 million.
"You need to go up there and do what's best for the state and what's best for the state is quit spending money you don't have like we've had to do," said Pomierski referring to the state legislature.
The city passed it's proposed budget
for the 2009-10 fiscal year while possible loss of revenue and the
state's budget crisis looms overhead.
The city's operating budget of $40,309,740 with $10.9 million in reserves is down 3.6 percent from last year.
This year's budget is "certainly the
most difficult I think in my career and I think in many of our
executives' careers because what we have is a situation where you're
trying to modify your budget at a time when the economy is sliding,"
said Upland City Manager Robb Quincey.
About $2 million was cut from the
budget in February and another $2.5 million was cut to balance this
year's budget, Quincey said.
"That's $4 to $5 million worth of
cuts in the last six months to prepare and present a balanced budget
to our city council," Quincey said.
Elimination of the red light cameras,
school crossing guards at intersections, supplies and equipment is
expected to save the city money.
To offset increases in personnel costs, the city has enacted salary freezes for one year and suspended recruitment to fill vacant positions.
A number of positions throughout
various city departments will be left unfilled including seven
positions at the Upland Police Department.
"In retrospect to almost nine years
ago it's pretty darn good . We still have $11 million in reserves
that we haven't touched," said Upland Mayor John Pomierski.
"A couple years ago we had $20 million in reserves. It's obviously a let down, but there's a lot of things we can't control."
Projects currently under construction are expected to boost property tax slightly over the next year.
The city still expects to move forward
with the city's general plan, new animal shelter and fire station as
well as street and facility improvements.
Adjustments will have to be made if the
state decides to follow through with their proposal to take 8 percent
of property tax from local governments.
Upland could lose $1.6 to $1.7 million
as a loan to the state.
"The wild card is the state and I
think I've expressed my opinion pretty openly how disgusted I am with
everybody up there," Pomierski said.
Pomierski and other city officials are considering joining more than 200 other cities in a resolution opposing the taking of property taxes by the State, Pomierski said.
"The only luxury they have that we don't is when they run short they rob the cities and the counties, when we run short there's nobody standing behind us to rob."
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved a $2,000 allocation to provide law enforcement services for the 44th Annual Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top on September 7.
Second District Supervisor Paul Biane requested funding to support the Sheriff's Department's role at the race because it promotes tourism in the mountain community, according to a news release.
The Mt. Baldy Run-to-the-Top features a 4,000 foot elevation gain by foot.
"Many of the visitors who come for the race find that Mt. Baldy offers more than just great skiing and snowboarding," Biane said in a news release. "The community's hiking and biking trails, scenic lookouts and other summertime activities are also great tourist draws."
The race is hosted by San Antonio Canyon Town Hall and proceeds are used to support organizations and programs such as the West Valley Search and Rescue Team, the Mt. Baldy Volunteer Fire Department, the Canyon Litter and Graffiti Program, Citizens on Patrols and the Mt. Baldy Fire Safe Council.

Cancer patient Robin Miller believes in the power of positive thinking, and he'll be sharing that spirit in song during the Cancer Survivors Day Celebration of Life on Sunday at the Fairfield Center for Creative Arts.
A native of Australia, the garrulous real estate broker was diagnosed with stomach cancer in April 2008. His physician, Dr. Brian Vikstrom, has been more than supportive, but initially didn't paint a rosy picture for the 67-year-old Vacaville resident.
"He's the one who had to tell me I had about 12 months to live. How'd you like to have a job like that?" quipped Miller, who's already beaten the odds.
On Wednesday, the cheerful raconteur had a twinkle in his eye, a smile on his face and a wealth of stories about his life as a singer, jazz trumpeter, British sports car aficionado and Icelandic cod fisherman.
As for his personal prognosis:
"It kind of reminds of me of a story I heard. There was this man who thought he was a dog. He finally went to a psychiatrist and, some time later, a friend saw him and asked how he was. 'I'm doing great. Really. I'm cured -- just feel my nose!' " Miller said with a hearty laugh.
Although Miller has sung at local clubs and in the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre for a Hurricane Katrina benefit, he vocalizes more for fun than vocation.
"I started singing when I lived in Upland. People nagged me into it," Miller recalled.
What's Miller planning to sing for Sunday's Celebration of Life?
That's going to be a secret until he steps on stage.
Co-sponsored by NorthBay Cancer Center and the American Cancer Society, the program is set for 2 to 5 p.m. at the Center for Creative Arts, 1035 Texas St. in downtown Fairfield.
The event is designed to bring together cancer survivors, caregivers, loved ones and medical professionals for an afternoon of celebration.
Keynote speaker will be cancer survivor Lori Bremner of Sonoma. She was diagnosed with leukemia more than 30 years ago. Since then she has devoted her life to the fight against cancer, serving in a variety of volunteer roles for the American Cancer Society by helping to provide local, regional and national leadership.
She was among 14 volunteers in California selected by the Society to be Heroes of Hope special ambassadors, and serves as the California State Lead Ambassador for the organization, heading up a team of more than 400 advocates.
(The event is free, but preregistration is required. Call the American Cancer Society, Solano Unit, at 425-5006 and select option No. 3.)
