Keeping our neighborhood, and environment, clean - this one's on us! We've got the 3 R's down - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and we know straws suck, but . . . what can we do better to make a difference, right now?! We've invited Leslie Cortez from the City to make this not-so-fun subject, FUN! She's got lots of "free stuff" to give away (like your very own reusable straw), and information to share on how to lessen our impact on the planet. Do you know what happens to the ecosystem when dog doo--oo isn't picked-up? Don't want to know, I know, but . . . you'd be surprised! Just sayin'! Come on, let's talk trash!

Beginning in 2020, Torrance City Council elections will transition from at-large voting to district-based voting.
The City consists of six districts and only voters residing in the district will decide who represents that district. Voters residing in District 2, 4 and 6 will elect a Councilmember at the March 3, 2020, General Municipal Election. Our area is in District 4. Councilmembers who reside in Districts 1, 3 and 5 will represent the City at-large until the March 2022 election.

Although future City Councilmembers will be elected by district, they will continue to guide policy and make decisions for the good of the entire community. If you cannot attend this forum, several additional forums are being held prior to the election. See our Community Issues & Affairs page for a list of locations and dates.
