Santa Cruz Hosts Eastside City Hall to You – First in a Series of Community Forums

The City of Santa Cruz welcomes all Eastside residents and business owners to the first City Hall to You community forum on Thursday, Feb. 25, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Santa Cruz Bible Church, 440 Frederick St. The event provides an opportunity for citizens to interact with City leaders and staff on topics specific to their neighborhood. The format, designed for the public to voice concerns and ask questions, includes a presentation by City leaders and City department booth displays.

The new event is the first in a quarterly series created by the City Council to enhance community connectedness and government transparency. Multiple departments will host booths regarding projects and information relevant to the Eastside including: Economic Development, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Library, Fire, Police, Planning and Water.

City Hall to You will focus on City quadrants, one at a time. Within a year additional City Hall to You forums will be scheduled with focus on the Westside, Downtown, and Upper Eastside. Future forum locations, dates and times are yet to be determined.
