  Mayor's Update     Hello neighbor! It’s been an eventful week between District Outreach Meetings and this week’s City Council Meeting. Read on to see what’s coming up next and opportunities to plug into our community.   City Council Meeting Recap At this week’s meeting, we recognized July as National Parks and Recreation Month, June 16-22 as National Mosquito Control Awareness Week, and Stephen Firpo for his service to the Parks and Recreation Commission. We also discussed our plans for hosting a community discussion about future uses of the Municipal Services Building and West Orange Library. Watch the Replay   Sticker Contest: Congratulations to Mondrian Hsieh Thanks again to everyone who participated in our City Sticker Contest! We are proud to announce Mondrian Hsieh as the winner. Mondrian and his wife moved to South City in 2022 where they fell in love with South City's valleys and vistas from the Bay to San Bruno Mountain. “The sticker design comes straight from the misty and colorful drives home in the afternoon, northbound along 101 or 280 and seeing the sun setting to the west over Sign Hill with the radio towers in the distance,” shares Mondrian. Stickers will be printed and distributed at the Library | Parks & Recreation building at a later date.   Reminder: New Street Surface Seals Work Starts Next Week Click on image to see the schedule This project will provide asphalt pavement maintenance of several residential, collector, and arterial streets in Downtown and Old Town neighborhoods of the city as part of the Pavement Management Program (PMP) beginning next week.
