It was our pleasure to help the Southern California Ballet Academy
demonstrate Excellence (an organization pillar) during their “Wonderful
World” performance. This first Saturday show of the 2023-24 season was
delightfully attended by 450 patrons. We love seeing a local arts business be
successful.
The first Kids Night Out of the 2023-2024 school year took place on September 1 and
was just beachy! Participants were happy as clams keeping busy with recreation games,
making sand salt dough handprints, cooling off with a sweet treat, and watching Surfs
Up. We may be biased but we think the 59 Kid's Night Out participants were "shrimply"
the best!

each of the proposed streetlight locations.
During the inspection, 5 of 8 excavated
foundation holes were found to conflict with
underground utilities. The contractor will
reach out to the utility companies to confirm if
the lines are live or have previously been

plan that utilizes the foundation holes with
existing conflicts, the information will be
provided to the project engineer for possible
redesign. As for the other 3 locations where
no conflicts were found, concrete foundation
was placed.
A new line was tied into a water main. As required,
the line was tested and received passing results.
