Greetings!
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of your loved ones. I hope you enjoy a brief hiatus in your normal routine and have time to reflect on those important in your life. Please note the numerous business and celebratory events listed below as we enter the holiday season and wind down the calendar year of City Council meetings. I’d like to highlight that the fourth public meeting regarding the City’s consideration of moving to City Council elections by district will be held on Thursday night, 11/29 at 6:00 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, and will present and review the revised draft districting maps that have been developed.

Again, please take a moment to sign up for the San Mateo County Alert System,
SMC Alert
, so you can receive emergency alerts of all kinds directly to your mobile phone. It’s easy to sign up, easy to customize the areas for which you would like to be alerted, and is a priceless tool in time of an emergency.
Have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving weekend.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you
for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica
!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager

- November 29 Special Meeting to Consider Transition to District-Based Elections in Pacifica - Similar to hundreds of local governments across California in recent years, a legal challenge based on the California Voting Rights Act is forcing Pacifica to consider moving to a district-based City Council elections system, beginning with the 2020 City Council election. The City is seeking your input in planning for this change and has created a webpage, www.drawpacifica.org, where you can learn more about this process. The next public hearing on the districting process and discussion of draft maps will be held on Thursday, November 29 at 6:00pm at City Council Chambers, 2212 Beach Boulevard. Draft maps for consideration at this special meeting will be available for public review at http://drawpacifica.org/draft-maps/
