Clearlake’s second annual ‘State of the City’ town hall event coming up Aug. 30
The event will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, at the Clearlake Community Center, located at 3245 Bowers Ave.
The program will begin with an open house offering the opportunity for community members to interact with and ask questions to the Clearlake Police Department, Code Enforcement, Public Works, Finance, Building Department, City Clerk, Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and PEG TV, among others.
The formal presentation by the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and the city of Clearlake will begin at 6 p.m.
Entries from the city’s photo contest will be on display, along with student art murals.
The student art mural project was a community service project co-sponsored by the Children’s Museum of Art and Science and the Art House Gallery.
Vice Mayor Bruno Sabatier attended a preview of the student art murals. “The art skills that our young artists revealed in these murals is beyond impressive,” he said.
Councilmember Joyce Overton was equally impressed with the photo contest entries. “These photos really show how beautiful Clearlake actually is,” Overton said.
“I’m excited to share all the positive things that are going on in Clearlake that people may not be aware of, like the mural project, the photo contest and all the other positive projects that are starting to change the way people look at Clearlake,” said City Manager, Greg Folsom.
Folsom offered special thanks to Stephanie Figueroa and Carolynn Jarrett for managing the student art mural project.
The public is invited to attend and is encouraged to come early in order to have time to interact with the different departments to find out what programs are being offered and to get questions answered.
Attendees also will have an opportunity to select their favorite photos to be displayed at city facilities.
There will be limited catering provided by Chatterbox Catering.
