E-Briefing Subscription

Just a little reminder from Costa Mesa's Interim Communication Director, Bill Lobdell...

SIGN UP ON HOME PAGE
The very popular and successful E-Briefing may be accessed a couple different ways. You may go to the city web site and, up in the right center - beside the City name, enter your email address in the block marked as such as shown in my little image below.
OR HERE
Or, if you want to sign up now, just click HERE and enter your email address in the space provided.

OR BY TEXT
Or, for those of you who live your young lives texting up a storm, you can simply text: EBRIEFING to 22828. I have no idea what that means, but I guess those of you with thumbs the size of ham hocks do, so fire away.

IT'S A GREAT COMMUNICATION TOOL
Personally, I think this E-Briefing feature is an excellent communication tool. Each week it provides, in an easy format to read, loads of excellent information. So, sign up and let the information flow...

"Transparency" Times Two

Slow news day in the land of Newport-Mesa. Good thing, too.. I needed a rest from last week.



FIRST EDITION OF WEEKLY "E-BRIEFING"
Costa Mesa CEO Tom Hatch introduced another new feature of the "transparency" he promised us last March when he hired Bill Lobdell as Interim Communication Director. This is the "E-Briefing" - a feature that is supposed to appear each week and will discuss things going on in City Hall and elsewhere in Costa Mesa. You can read the first edition HERE and subscribe to it via the City Web Site under the "Email Notification" section on the lower right side of the Home Page. It looks to me as though this is going to be yet another helpful feature for any residents actually interested in current events and plans afoot.CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION
Lobdell also sent out an announcement, also under the sub-title of "transparency", providing a copy of the City Council compensation in an easy-to-review format. I can't find a link to it on the City Web Site, so reproduced it below for those of you with eagle-eyes. One thing you'll notice is that they misspelled Gary Monahan's name... Just click on the image and it will increase in size so you can read it.REMINDER
I intend to use more video clips from city meetings in the future. In order to view them you need to download and install Silverlight software from Microsoft. Go to the Silverlight site, HERE, and download it and follow the instructions for your particular computer to install it. You'll be glad you did.
