Dear Neighbor,
This Tuesday, August 26th, at 6:30pm,the City Council is scheduled to listen to public comments for the proposed General Plan Update 2030 and certification of the Environmental Impact Report. The General Plan is the “blueprint” for development and goals for our city over the next 15 years. Your comments are important.
In addition, there will be a Study session of the City Council at 5:00pm, prior to the City Council meeting to discuss the status of the Brookhurst Triangle Project by JPI Development.
Also, Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m., in the City Council Chambers, a proposed ordinance to create administrative fines for certain graffiti violations will be discussed. The new ordinance will further our police department’s efforts to prevent, prohibit and remove graffiti in our city. For specifics regarding this proposed ordinance, go to –

Two years ago, the City Council created administrative fines (citations issued by our police officers and prosecuted by our City Attorney) for illegal fireworks, which have been effective. We applaud the City Council and Police Department for their continued efforts to prevent and remove detestable graffiti in our city. Come speak in favor of this new ordinance at the City Council meeting.
