Boy Scouts Visit

Last week, the City was excited to welcome a local Boy Scouts Troop to City Hall to learn about City operations and tour City Hall and the
Police Department! The tour, led by Mayor Pro Tem Yamaguchi, featured presentations from Mayor Smith, City Administrator Arrula, and City Department Directors. Each Department gave an overview of what they do for the City and took questions from the boys. The night ended with a tour of the Police Department.
