MESA VERDE COMMUNITY, INC. TO HOLD THEIR 16th CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES FORUM
On Wednesday August 24, 2016, Mesa Verde Community, Inc will celebrate their 16th Costa Mesa City Council Candidates Forum. That’s a whopping 32 years that the local all volunteer HOA has been hosting City Council Candidates Forums.
The event will be held at the Downtown Community Center located at 1845 Park Ave, in the Costa Mesa room. Festivities start at 6:30pm with a Candidates meet and greet and the program starting promptly at 7:00pm. All of the candidates have been invited.
The moderator this year is none other than Former Costa Mesa Mayor and current Vice President of the Board of Coast Community Colleges, Mary Hornbuckle.
Light refreshments will be served. As always this event is FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC. The entire City is invited and encouraged to attend and take advantage of this rare opportunity to listen to Council Candidates talk about what they think is important to our City and ask questions about what YOU think is important!
**UPDATE** While not mentioned in the original post, the Candidate Forum will be videotaped in its entirety and posted on YouTube, Vimeo, this website and anywhere else the association desires it be posted.
With thanks to Virginia Vargas for taking “point” on this project, we now have additional information from the city:
“If you are interested in more information regarding planting a tree in your parkway please call 714-327-7490. Someone from staff will return the call and fill you in regarding eligibility to participate in the reforesting program. Thank you again for you interest!”
So if you’d like to pursue this, give the city a call!
WOW! The printed newsletter hit homes over the last few days and the reaction was incredible! The feedback to the website spiked as people were curious about how a parkway tree could be obtained. The writer contacted the city and spoke with Rick Francis, Assistant CEO, and he shared this insight:
“Terry, if there is room in the parkway and it is already irrigated, the city will come and plant a tree. If it is not irrigated, they won’t because the city is responsible for watering the tree. For further information, community residents should call Marian at 714-754-5123. If your parkway area is OK for planting, she can start a work order.”
Rick also pointed out that different trees are being used to avoid out-of-control root systems that have caused sidewalk upheaval in some areas. The newer trees are less invasive.
Hope that helps. Enjoy your weekend.
Starting this Tuesday, July 5th and continuing through the month, “Concerts in the Park” returns for the 2016 season. Enjoy the music and atmosphere…it’s only a short walk from Mesa Verde!
This past March, MVCI invited Chief Rob Sharpnack to make a presentation at the general meeting. His comments were recorded as a Facebook video and can be seen here. Thanks to Bill Partnoff for holding that camera so steady for just over an hour!
