Greetings!
The Case for a Mask – It’s not about you! Those who refuse to wear a mask may not be concerned if they catch COVID-19. But are they concerned if a loved one gets sick, perhaps a higher risk family member? If you transmit COVID-19 because you’re not wearing a mask, unknowingly perhaps because you’re asymptomatic, to someone else not wearing a mask, and on an on throughout our social system, your refusal could mean someone's loved one becomes infected, seriously sick, or worse, dies. So remember, it’s not about you. It’s about your loved ones. And we’re in a system all together trying to beat COVID-19. Together we are #PacificaStrong and #SMCStrong. Please do your part.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager

District Based City Council Elections
|
|
|
|
On December 17, 2018, the City of Pacifica adopted
Ordinance No. 839-C.S.
approving the transition from at-large to by-district elections for the election of Pacifica City Councilmembers beginning with the general municipal election in November 2020 and thereafter. With district-based elections, each of five councilmembers will be elected by voter's within that candidate's district. This November, District 1 and District 4 will hold elections for City Council seats.
What Does This Mean?
This means that you may not have a Councilmember to vote for in November. It depends on where you live.

"Dream Golf," by Matt Nash

The Pacific Coast Fog Fest has been an annual tradition in Pacifica for 34 years. A “must see” stop long Palmetto Avenue is the Art Corner hosted by Sanchez Art Center. Displayed are the 75-100 framed images by local Pacifica and SF Bay Area photographers who have entered the yearly Photography Contest. Photographers can submit a total of two photographs that fit one of the four themes determined by the contest judges and SAC staff.
Submitted photographs are given thought review by award winning Pacifican photographers. In 2019, judges Alan Grinberg and Edwin Hacking, gave fifteen awards to 12 photographers: Janet Arline Barker, Vadim Dymshyts, Kathy Holmes, Julie Lancelle, Stephanie Meyer, Matt Nash, Brad Rangell, and Dave Rauenbuehler, all from Pacifica; Marshall Dinowitz, Belmont; Electra Field, El Granada; Mary Louise Froese, South San Francisco; and Patrick Troubetzkov, San Francisco. The photographers who were given awards are invited to participate in a group show at Sanchez Art Center the following year. Though there will be no Fog Fest this year, you can enjoy the work of the photographers in the virtual gallery.
