Dear Neighbor,
This newsletter provides several opportunities to hear your City Council Candidates speak and answer questions about the issues in Garden Grove.
Join us on Saturday, September 27th for our City Council Candidate Forum from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in Cheryl Armstrong’s backyard at 12421 Loraleen Street, off Lampson just east of Magnolia. There are nine candidates running for two open seats on the City Council. The candidates listed in ballot order are Robin Peace Marcario, Charles Mitchell, Steve Jones, John “Paul” Lucas, Linh Ho, Andrew Do, Tony Flores, Trung Nguyen and Tom Bailor. A continental breakfast will be served while having the opportunity to listen and ask questions of the candidates as well as talk individually after the meeting.
Sunday, October 5th, Garden Grove Methodist Church, is sponsoring a candidate forum from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. at 12741 Main Street. Everyone is welcome to attend this interfaith forum which will concentrate on questions of justice, compassion and values as they relate to local government polices. Robb Tarr 534-1070.
Tuesday, October 7, Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce Forum, televised from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m., City Council Chambers, 11300 Stanford Avenue. Listen to your city council candidates answer questions. For more information, contact the Chamber office 638-7950.
Additional information from the trusted, non-partisan League of Women Voters can be researched at http://www.smartvoter.org/ See your sample ballot for Tuesday, November 4, 2008.
Exercise your right to vote!
Recently, the City Council approved the updated General Plan “development blueprint” and certification of the Environmental Impact Report which sets the goals for our city over the next 15 years. The plan protects our neighborhoods, plans for additional parks, and encourages conservation and green building practices.
Also, the City Council approved an updated ordinance to create administrative fines for graffiti violations. The new ordinance clearly redefines what is considered graffiti, including stickers, and authorizes civil action to recover costs. This change keeps enforcement and prosecution local. We applaud the City Council and Police Department for their continued efforts to prevent and remove detestable graffiti in our city.
The Historic Main Street Garden Grove appellate court case was heard on September 15th. Te judges heard much discussion, deliberation and debate by the attorneys and have taken the matter into submission and will provide a ruling some time within the next 90 days. Go to http://www.savehistoricmainstreet.com/ for more information.
Code Enforcement is a part of the police department whose job is to ensure standards of maintenance in our neighborhoods. To report unsightly properties, call 714 741-5358. For additional information regarding Code Enforcement, go to http://www.ci.garden-grove.ca.us/?q=police/codeviolations
Feel free to share our newsletter with your friends and family. Check our website for more details and photos from the meeting. http://www.cggna.org/
