Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez to Host Telephone Town Hall on March 29
|
Have a question about the City of Moreno Valley?
Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez will host a Telephone Town Hall beginning at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29 to listen to your concerns and answer your questions about City issues.
Instead of asking residents to attend a meeting after a long day of work and family commitments, the Telephone Town Hall brings the meeting to their living rooms, cars or wherever they happen to be.
The City will call registered participants at precisely 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29 to connect you to the Telephone Town Hall. Using a talk-radio format, residents can ask questions live during the call or just listen to the conversation for as long as they like.
“Community engagement is crucial,” said Mayor Gutierrez. “All of our lives are so busy it’s difficult to try to squeeze in one more appointment. The Telephone Town Halls will make it as easy as possible for residents to hear about what is going on in our City, ask questions, and air their concerns. We want to hear from you.”
The Telephone Town Hall will be broadcast simultaneously in English and Spanish.
Be part of the conversation and register for the March 29 Telephone Town Hall by visiting the Telephone Town Hall Registration page.
Registration closes at noon on March 29.

City Fire Marshal Honored With Fire Prevention Award
|
Moreno Valley Fire Marshal Adria Reinertson was recently honored with the Mary Eriksen-Rattan Award.
The prestigious honor is named after Mary Eriksen-Rattan, one of the first female fire marshals in the country. The award recognizes fire prevention professionals who represent technical ability, judgment and commitment.
Mary Eriksen-Rattan had a distinguished career in the fire service, writing extensively on fire code development, including hazardous materials issues.
The honor given to City Fire Marshal Reinertson is even more special given the fact that it is not awarded every year but rather only when a person meeting the specific criteria is identified. There have only been six other recipients since 2006.
Fire Marshal Reinertson’s continued contributions and knowledge of the state fire code make her a valuable asset to the City’s first responders, residents, businesses and employees.
Congratulations to City Fire Marshal Adria Reinertson for receiving the Mary Eriksen-Rattan Award!
