The "Pop Up City Hall" brings Council and Commission members and city staff to community events. I created the event a few months ago and subsequently we had a number of pop ups and talked to more than 100 people who normally wouldn't go to City Hall or to our meetings. We distribute literature, answer questions, take comments, and otherwise be as responsive as we can be.
This month's pop up will take place at the home game in ETHS. The football game begins at 7 pm but the pop up City Hall will open at 6 pm and continue to stay open through half-time. ETHS is playing La Mirada.
Please stop by if you have any questions or comments.

ABOUT THE POP UP CITY HALL
The Pop Up City Hall is just one of the innovations we've introduced this year to keep you informed and involved. You can now watch the City Council (and other important meetings) live on Facebook and you can comment and ask questions. We have a weekly video - Mayor's Minute - that keeps you abreast of city actions and upcoming events in just 60 seconds (well, sometimes it's a few seconds longer) . Our mobile app "Shop and Dine Lake Forest" continues to be updated and soon we'll have an "iCity" mobile app that will allow you to communicate your concerns directly from your phone. We started a series of Mayor's Councils that gather together stakeholders (e.g., HOAs, business owners) with city staff and elected officials so that we can problem solve together.No City does more to inform and involve our residents, and we will continue to improve.
