During a recent government meeting, key discussions highlighted community engagement and local initiatives aimed at enhancing public services. The meeting opened with an announcement about the upcoming Suicide Prevention Breakfast on September 13, which still has 20 available spaces. Additionally, the \"Walk Out of the Darkness\" event is scheduled for September 28 at Skypark in Scotts Valley, focusing on education and support for those affected by suicide.
City Manager Lego provided several updates, expressing gratitude for the successful Art, Wine, and Beer Festival held at Skypark, where the city engaged with over 150 attendees regarding town center design options. An open house is set for tomorrow evening at the community center from 6 to 8 p.m. to further discuss these options with residents.
Lego also recognized the contributions of intern Dustin Lopez, who has completed his summer program with the city, emphasizing the importance of youth involvement in local governance. Furthermore, the city’s wastewater team recently toured two membrane bioreactor plants in the Central Valley, part of ongoing efforts to upgrade the wastewater treatment facility.
In a move to enhance services for seniors, the senior center has introduced membership cards to streamline class check-ins and payments, promoting greater tech engagement among older residents. This initiative aims to improve data tracking on popular activities, ultimately benefiting the community's senior services.
