Greetings!
While the Coronavirus pandemic continues and future public health concerns and economic uncertainty hover over all of us, I recently undertook the City’s annual process of assembling the annual list of Significant Citywide Accomplishments. Reflecting back on Fiscal Year 2019-20 (July 2019 through June 2020) was insightful; Although the City’s priorities since March 2020 have been dominated by our Coronavirus response, before then and even continuing during the pandemic, the City Council, Commission and Committee volunteers, and City employees have accomplished so much, showing just how #PacificaStrong this organization and community are. I’m proud to serve here as your City Manager, and I look forward to another year during Fiscal Year 2020-21 filled with accomplishments reflecting progress towards the City Council Goals of Fiscal Sustainability, An Engaged Community, Stewardship of City Infrastructure, A Healthy and Compassionate Community, Environmental Sustainability, A Strong City Workforce Infrastructure, and Maintaining a Safe Community.
Please let us know if you have comments or questions, and thank you for wanting to Connect with Pacifica.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager

Governor Newsom Issue State of Emergency
FLEX ALERT ISSUED FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND, CALLING FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
|
|
The Governor has declared a state of emergency in connection with the extreme heat anticipated for this holiday weekend and its impacts on electricity. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) issued statewide Flex Alert, a call for voluntary electricity conservation, beginning Saturday and extending through Monday, from 3 pm to 9 pm each day.
Labor Day weekend temperatures are forecast 10-20 degrees above normal for California, and the power grid operator is predicting an increase in electricity demand, primarily from air conditioning use. Overnight temperatures statewide are projected to be at least 10 degrees higher than normal, which doesn't allow infrastructure to cool down.
Here's What You Can Do To Help.
- Set air conditioning thermostats to 78 degrees, if health permits.
- Defer use of major appliances.
- Turn off unnecessary lights.
- Unplug unused electrical devices.
- Close blinds and drapes.
- Use fans when possible.
- Limit time the refrigerator door is open.

Suicide is a tragedy that crosses age, gender, and geography. While people who die by suicide generally think they are only hurting themselves, they leave behind grief and loss that affects more people than they realize.
