Summary
The city manager provided updates on local events and programs including an off-highway motor vehicle program getting national attention, a free pool event on Aug. 1, summer meal sites for children, recent storm response clearing streets within 12 hours, and tourism and development outreach for Needles City.
The city manager presented a report covering local programs and outreach, including tourism efforts, storm response, summer meals for children and a free community pool event on Aug. 1.
The manager said Needles is 'one of the most affordable cities in the state of California' and urged colleagues to leverage that in marketing efforts: 'For $200,000 you can buy a house.' The manager also noted national media interest in an off-highway motor-vehicle program and visits by federal and state representatives to tour local facilities.
The manager described emergency response after a recent storm, saying crews had most streets open within 12 hours, and encouraged residents to use a sheriff's tip line for public-safety reports. Commissioners and staff also promoted a summer meal program for children and a free pool barbecue/waterslide event scheduled for Aug. 1.
