MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER KEN PULSKAMP

This month we will be launching a new community meeting program called “Milk and Cookies with the Mayor.” The program offers residents an opportunity to meet with city officials at different communities throughout the City. Held conveniently in the early evening hours at park sites and other public locations, the program is a great opportunity for residents to discuss their ideas and suggestions for city programs and services. “Milk and Cookies with the Mayor” meetings will be led by our Mayor Smyth and City Council. The first one will be held on Wednesday, February 26, at 7 p.m. at City Hall, Century Room, 23920 Valencia Boulevard. Check out our website for a complete listing of programs (www.santa-clarita.com).

In January we celebrated the first grand opening of the year with the Grand Opening of Central Park, Phase 2. This new phase adds 40 more acres to Central Park, bringing four new playing fields, three full basketball courts and new restroom facilities. The four new fields will go a long way towards providing much-needed playing field space for organized sports in our community.

Early this spring, we will be celebrating another grand opening. The new fiveacre Oak Spring Canyon Park will open on Saturday, April 5, 2003 at 10 a.m. This neighborhood park features a children’s play area, a covered picnic area, restrooms, a climbing rock and a beautiful tree with seating around it. We hope that you and your family will be able to attend the grand opening event this spring!

We have a lot going on this year so keep yourself up-to-date by checking in regularly on our website and by reading these monthly letters. Thank you for your continued interest in our City. As always, I am available via email at kpulskamp@santa-clarita.com or by phone at 661/255-4900.

Best Regards,


Ken Pulskamp
