The City Council on August 27 will consider an agreement with Pacific Symphony for additional Mission Viejo performances as well as a move to help residents and businesses with continuing and obtaining fire and casual property insurance.
The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 pm in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.
On the heels of the popular Symphony in the Cities performance early this month, the Council will consider awarding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the new fiscal year to increase the number of Pacific Symphony performances in the City. This would include a Symphony in the Cities concert next year; three Symphony on the Go performances as well as two Music and Wellness performances, Storyteller for Children concerts, and additional site-specific concerts.
With the difficulties some residents and businesses throughout the State have recently experienced in continuing and obtaining new fire and casualty property insurance, Council Members will also consider asking Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a State of Emergency and commence with short- and long-term measures to respond to the situation.
During the presentation portion of the meeting, Mayor Trish Kelley will present a proclamation recognizing Wildfire Awareness and Prevention Season. More than 25 percent of California’s population lives in high fire-risk areas, and everyone plays a key role in preventing destructive wildfires.
Mayor Kelley will also recognize two Mission Viejo Girls Softball teams – the 10U Silver Mayhem team for taking first place at the USA Softball Regional Tournament and the 14U Gold Adrenaline team for winning first place at the USA Softball SoCal State Tournament.
Council meetings are streamed live on the City’s website and air on Cox Channel 30 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. Residents are encouraged to sign up for the City’s eNewsletter and follow the City’s official social media sites for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
