HEADLINE: The Future of 101 Year Old Glendale
Summary: The City is 101 years old? What is its future?
Body: Through a series of nine 2-hour, small group meetings in Conference Room ‘A’ at the Glendale Central Library on Louise between Harvard and Colorado on July 25, 26 and 30, Vanguard, a community fiscal watchdog, will focus on the future of the 101-year-old city.
Vanguard Executive Director Barry Allen said, “Like most large cities, the residents suffer from a disconnect with the local government that dissolves into apathy demonstrated by a lack of involvement and engagement with the governmental process. Our guests will learn how to turn that apathy into advocacy; how to use the ‘Sunshine’ laws effectively and the possibility of living with an accountable, responsible and responsive government through grass roots involvement, engagement and advocacy.”
Vanguard started in 2003 as the need for community advocacy arose and has fulfilled that need through the use of the Open Government laws, publication of a widely distributed, weekly electronic newsletter and through successful interaction with Glendale City Officials.
