City Manager’s Message

We started off the year with a very wet January. Fortunately, our City was well prepared due to all the infrastructure improvements we have completed over the past few years. This was largely possible due to the approval of Measure P, a half-cent sales tax. The City has been able to repair and replace storm drains and corrugated metal pipe that ultimately helped us get through the storm. A big thank you to our Public Works crews who worked around the clock and throughout the weekend to keep our streets clear and safe.
