We have a variety of important issues coming before Council that deserves everyone attention!  Read below for specifics!

June 9-  starting at 6:30 pm at City Hall  
This is a joint meeting of the City Council and the Planning Commission to look at the specific plan for our Town Center project. The consultant will present their first set of ideas regarding our downtown. If you would like to be part of the process, plan on attending.

 June 10- Special Council Meeting regarding our budget, 6:30 pm at the Yorba Linda Community Center.
 We have a budget shortfall of about $3M before the state raids our coffers for an additional approximate $1.5 M. There are significant cuts being proposed. You can review the report presented at Council June 2 by going to: http://www.ylonline.org/export/MG43181/AgendaFrame.htm
It is important to understand this fiscal challenge and its effects on our community.

June 16 – Decisions regarding the Landscape maintenance Arterial District (LMAD)- 6:30
 At our next regularly scheduled Council meeting we will dedicate a major portion of the time discussing and making decisions regarding the Landscape Maintenance Arterial District. Last year we held a special election to increase  the LMAD fees we pay on our property tax bills once a year. That election measure failed necessitating  balancing the shortfall by backfilling that account with General Funds. This year we are mandated by the Water District to reduce water use 20% due to the drought. We held a Special Council meeting June 3 to discuss how to accomplish this reduction.  There are significant changes we need to make to meet the mandate and also to balance the budget. It is estimated with all of the staff recommendations, which are significant, we have not met the 20% water use reduction mandate.  The presentation we viewed will be posted on the City website early next week.
It is important to pay attention to this meeting. If you wish to make comments regarding the  LMAD presentation and the proposed changes to our community be sure to come to the meeting.  If you are unable to come to the meeting, be sure to watch the discussion via your computer on the City Website or if you have cable television, on channel 3.

June 17- 6:30 pm – continuation of Council meeting of June 16 for those items that would have been addressed at the normally scheduled Council meeting. This is in an effort to make progress on agenda items that we are usually unable to complete.
