Summary

City staff reminded residents that early voting for the state primary is underway (election day Aug. 11) and promoted the Westwood Shopping Center's 72nd‑anniversary celebration Saturday; council members also mentioned National Night Out and a Children's First reading festival ice‑cream kickoff.

City staff reminded residents that early voting for the state primary is under way at City Hall, with daily hours listed at 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., extended Saturday hours, and a statement that election day is Aug. 11. The transcript listed a Monday extended hour as "August 0," which appears to be a transcription error; residents should consult the City Clerk for exact extended hours.

Staff also promoted a Westwood Shopping Center 72nd anniversary celebration taking place Saturday and encouraged residents to support local businesses affected by construction, noting some merchants experienced revenue declines of "20 to 50%" this year. A council member described how a single busy day at the celebration can substantially help small businesses. Additional community notices included National Night Out events and a Children's First reading festival kickoff with an ice cream social and elected officials serving as "celebrity scoopers."
