Applicants press La Habra council for more inclusive events and outreach to residents with disabilities
Summary
Several applicants urged the city to expand cultural events and improve accessibility, calling for bilingual outreach, autism-friendly park features and new cultural festivals such as Day of the Dead to reflect the city's demographics.
Applicants interviewing for community services seats urged the council to expand programming and make city events more accessible to residents with disabilities and non-English speakers.
One Community Services candidate proposed the city consider a Day of the Dead celebration to better reflect the population and cultural traditions, telling the council, “I would really love to see that and it's coming into fruition.” Another applicant who works with families of children with autism said parks should include sensory‑friendly features and more bilingual outreach, noting that existing flyers and forms are often only in English and can keep residents from attending events.
