Independence Day is quickly approaching and, whether it is due to the months of shelter-in-place or the recent civil protests, people will be understandably looking for ways to blow off steam. For some, sparklers and confetti poppers are enough to celebrate the Fourth of July. Others, like the Alameda man found with 500 pounds of illegal fireworks, may be looking for a little more “bang.”
The City Council will soon be selecting residents to create a steering committee that will offer recommendations to the Council to address “systemic anti-racism” in Alameda.
At the June 29 special Council meeting, councilmembers unanimously approved a plan to create a community-led steering committee.
The steering committee will discuss ways the city can ensure and provide safety and security for all Alamedans, according to a memorandum from Vice Mayor John Knox White.
News about COVID-19 is no longer changing as rapidly it did initially. With that in mind, Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft will transition to writing monthly, rather than weekly updates. She will write her next update at the end of July. Mayor Ashcraft encourages Alamedans to keep up to date about COVID-19 from Alameda County at www.acphd.org and the City of Alameda at www.alamedaca.gov. And stay 6 feet away from others, wash your hands and wear your masks!
