6:45am | Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster asks via Facebook: Would you like to know more about how City policy is made? Do you have ideas about how to make your community a better place to work, live and play?
The City of Long Beach is hosting a workshop to inform Long Beach residents on how City policy is made and how to apply for open boards and commissions on Monday, August 30, 2010, from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm at the Neighborhood Resource Center, 425 Atlantic Ave.
According to a City of Long Beach press release, workshop presenters Carmen Viramontes, Legislative Deputy from the Office of the Mayor, and Assistant City Attorney Heather Mahood will talk about the City of Long Beach’s Boards and Commissions, current Commission vacancies and how residents can apply to serve on City Board and Commissions.
Attendees are invited to bring canned food to donate to Food Finders to assist our Long Beach neighbors during the current economic crisis.
This free workshop will be presented in English with Spanish and Khmer translation available. Free parking is available behind the building and on the street.
