Connect With Pacifica This Week
|
|
Greetings!
This week’s list of City News below includes such a wide variety of announcements -- items related to public safety, communications, open space, sewer infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and more -- that I’d like to pause on this beautiful Friday afternoon in Pacifica to express my gratitude to all City employees, and emphasize the important and varied range of programs and services the City organization is working diligently to deliver. In addition, following a week of numerous nighttime Commission and Committee meetings, such as the Planning Commission, Economic Development Committee, Library Advisory Committee, and the Sea Level Rise Community Work Group/public meeting, I’d like to express thanks to so many volunteers that help in these roles. This commitment and cooperation, combined with the work of your City Council members, businesses, schools and everyone doing their part, makes such a huge difference to build and sustain the Pacifica community that everyone enjoys. There’s always a lot of work to do, a lot of progress to be made, but it’s good and healthy to pause occasionally to recognize all the great ground that has been covered! So thank you!
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you
for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica
!
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
