CLEARLAKE >> The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and the City of Clearlake will present a State of the City discussion at the Clearlake Community Center this evening.
The program will commence with an open house featuring the opportunity to interact with and ask questions to the Police Department, Code Enforcement, Public Works, Finance, Building Department, City Clerk, Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce, PEG TV and more.
The formal presentation by the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce and the City of Clearlake will begin at 6 p.m.
Entries from the City’s Photo Contest will be on display, along with student art murals. The student art mural project was a community service project co-sponsored by the Children’s Museum of Art and Science and the Art House Gallery.
Vice Mayor Bruno Sabatier who has seen a preview of the student art murals said, “The art skills that our young artists revealed in these murals is beyond impressive.”
Councilmember Joyce Overton was equally impressed with the photo contest entries. “These photos really show how beautiful Clearlake actually is,” she added.
According to City Manager Greg Folsom, it is important to share positive things that are going on in Clearlake that people may not be aware of, such as the mural project. It shows that the city’s efforts toward improvement extend to projects that require funding and time, as well as those that add more personal flair at little public expense.
The public is invited to attend and is encouraged to come early in order to have time to interact with the different departments to find out what programs are being offered and to get questions answered. Attendees will also have an opportunity to select their favorite photos to be displayed at city facilities. There will be limited catering provided by Chatterbox Catering.
The event will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. located at 3245 Bowers Avenue, Clearlake.
