Greetings!
Receiving input from Pacificans about City projects and programs is important to the success of those projects and programs and the future of Pacifica. Whether your input is provided through surveys, general public meetings, general written or verbal comments, or your deeper level of involvement, your input is valuable There are currently numerous opportunities available for deeper level involvement related to the City’s Local Coastal Plan Update process (by volunteering for the
Sea Level Rise Community Work Group
), the new City Library process (by volunteering for the
Library Advisory Committee
), and for representing the City on the Board of Trustees for the
San Mateo County Mosquito Abatement District
. The deadlines for applying for these roles are approaching soon. See the details below.
The City Council meeting on Monday, December 11 will mark that last City Council meeting of 2017.
