Connect With Pacifica This Week
|
|
Greetings!
As I have been getting to know our residents, business owners and community groups since arriving in Pacifica, it comes through strongly that Pacificans share a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Pacifica. It is also clear that Pacificans are committed to keeping Pacifica beautiful and undertaking projects that enhance beauty in our neighborhoods. Did you know that the City of Pacifica has a
Beautification Task Force Plan
and a Beautification Advisory Committee that is dedicated to carrying out this plan with an overall community beautification objective? You can get involved by applying for a position on the Beautification Advisory Committee (BAC) (click here for
Recruitment Notice
), sponsoring a Keep Pacifica Beautiful project or attending a BAC meeting. Find more information on these opportunities below. Thank you to the individuals, businesses and community organizations that have sponsored completed beautification projects with the BAC. You will see the fruits of some of that labor in the photos below.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you
for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica
!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
