Oct. 3, 2017 – Mayor Pro Tem Paul Barich and Council Member Jon Harrison will walk and talk with participants on the Santa Ana River Trail for the next Walking with the Council, Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 to 10:30 a.m.

Participants will meet at the Santa Ana River Trail at Cave Street and Riverview Drive.

Walking with the Council is an expansion of the popular Coffee with the Council meetings that began in February 2011 as part of the City’s continuing efforts to increase interaction with residents and promote transparency in City affairs. Walking with the Council was added this year in an effort to also promote the City’s trails and healthy habits. Both meetings are intended to provide opportunities for residents to ask questions or share concerns outside the formal setting of a City Council meeting.

This weekend’s walk is the last of four Walking with the Council meetings scheduled this year along the City’s walking trails.

Coffee with the Council meetings are scheduled quarterly from 9 to 10:30 a.m. The last Coffee with the Council meeting of 2017 is scheduled for Dec. 9 at Olive Avenue Market, 530 W. Olive Ave

Council members rotate attendance for both Coffee with the Council and Walking with the Council, with no more than two members at each meeting.
