• City staff created a new wildfire resilience website and quarterly wildfire resilience newsletter (subscribe here).
• Critical sewer and stormwater utility infrastructure maintenance at Canyon and 11th should end mid-June.
• Applications for the city's Food Tax Rebate program close June 30.

This week at City Council

Quote for the month

I never thought in terms of fear. I thought in terms of justice.

-Labor leader and union organizer Emma Tenayuca

What I'm reading/listening to

The good: high school commencements, labor movement successes. The bad: More local cuts, increasingly blatant federal corruption, data consolidation risks.
