Summary
City staff presented the fourth annual City of Torrance year‑in‑review, highlighted service and capital project dashboards, and promoted digital channels including the My Torrance CA app and city social media accounts.
City communications staff presented the City of Torrance’s fourth annual “Year in Review,” summarizing highlights from 2024 and promoting new and existing channels for resident engagement.
Lauren Allen of the City Manager’s Office introduced the report as a high‑level snapshot of fiscal highlights, capital improvements, public safety programs and community events. The presentation referenced dashboards for Measure S/T funding, the Capital Improvement Plan and homeless‑services dashboards, and noted the Torrance Police Department’s recruitment pilot and the Fire Department’s new ALS/BLS ambulance.
Staff encouraged residents to access the full report at torranceca.gov/yearinreview, to download the My Torrance CA app to report issues and access services, and to subscribe to the weekly Torrance newsletter. The presentation also highlighted social media channels (X, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Instagram) and asked residents to follow city accounts for updates; staff noted the city recently reached 20,000 Instagram followers and set a 2025 goal of 25,000.
No council action was required; the presentation was informational. Council members thanked staff and the Fire Department for the work summarized in the report.
