Learn about Solana Beach City Council members’ additional state, county and regional duties on Thursday, Sept. 17, 5 p.m. at Fletcher Cove Community Center, 133 Pacific Ave., Solana Beach.
Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, Deputy Mayor Jill MacDonald and City Council members Kristi Becker, Jewel Edson and David Zito will participate in a panel discussion about the additional roles they play in organizations ranging from the California League of Cities to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the North County Transit District (NCTD), to the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), Regional Solid Waste Association and the Joint Powers Authorities for both the San Dieguito River Valley and San Elijo Lagoon, and more, according to a news release.
This meeting is co-sponsored by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society with Solana Beach Community Connections and Friends of the Solana Beach Library. The event is free and open to the public.
The event offers a rare opportunity to gain insights from Solana Beach elected officials about the purpose of each of these (and more) organizations and why they take on their extra jobs. Each councilmember serves in at least three additional roles to represent the voices of Solana Beach residents in state, regional and county planning and policy making, the news release stated.
