The city is encouraging Sierra Madre residents and community members to drop and provide their input on "framing the future of the town" at the General Plan Steering Committee Town Hall Forum.
While the event is slated to last for two hours, participants do not need to be in attendance for the entire event.
The General Plan is the document that defines how the City of Sierra Madre is economically managed and developed over a 10 to 20 year period. The General Plan guides the policy-making of city government. Sierra Madre's current 1996 General Plan is available on the city's website.

Each area will be hosted by a member of the General Plan Committee, and will have related text from the 1996 General Plan. Residents and community members will be asked to comment and provide input at each area in exchange for a chance to be entered into a raffle. The General Plan Steering Committee has also created a survey and will have a suggestion box to gather any additional thoughts related to the General Plan Update.
