Council Goes on Tour

Apple Blossom Line-up

Although an overcast sky had threatened rain earlier Saturday morning,City Council members lined up along Noyes Boulevard under sunny skies for a 9:30 am parade start. The theme, "Ponies to Planes," referenced both the beginning of the Pony Express 150 years ago and the week-end airshow at Rosecrans Field featuring the Blue Angels. Also in the parade were the Budweiser Clydesdales.

New Council

Although six of us have previous experience...ranging from 12 years (DJ) to seven months (Jeff); none of us have served before on this council. So we start our term with new viewpoints and new expectations.
