The stabilization work consists of retrofitting several structures in an effort to meet earthquake standards. The priority structures receiving stabilization will be the main Hacienda, the Dee Dee house, and the Cantina.

It is staffs expectation . that the subcommittee consisting of representatives of the Arts, Historic Preservation, and Parks and Recreation Commissions will soon be reactivated to assist in the park planning process. The City Council recently adopted the new Facility Use Regulations for the Senior Center. Previously, the Facility Use Regulations closely paralleled that of the Recreation Facility Use Regulations. However, the new regulations are more appropriately designed to consider the uniqueness of the Senior Center and the various amenities offered. The annual Gerico's golf tournament recently raised $1,576 to benefit the Senior Center. In addition, the Gerico's dinner tickets are still available for $5 each which allows the purchaser one of many dinner entrees (a steal at twice the price). Contact the Senior Center to obtain tickets for these culinary delights while providing a benefit to the Center. New coming attractions at the Senior Center will provide interested seniors with classes in embossing, origami, and the creation of chocolate holiday treats. BOO!
