Berkeley,
California (Thursday, August 16, 2007) - More
than 53,000 residents and businesses will receive the City of
Berkeley’s Annual Report in their mailboxes next week.
“The last several years have been
tough on the City’s budget and on our services,” said City
Manager Phil Kamlarz. “But we kept focused on moving forward and
we have a lot of great things to share with the community.”
The eight-page newsletter includes a
letter from Kamlarz and news about the budget, the 2007 Health
Status Report, the new Berkeley Housing Authority, and the City’s
new food recycling program. There is also helpful information about
crime and fire prevention, emergency preparedness, sustainable
Berkeley businesses, and how residents can help meet the climate
action challenge. A clip-and-save list of key Berkeley phone numbers
and upcoming events is on the back.
The printed version of the annual report
will be delivered to Berkeley residents and businesses next week. In
the meantime, a first-ever interactive version of the annual report
is already available online. In addition, a Spanish-language version
of the report will also be available for the first time.
Visitors to the City Manager’s web
site (http://www.CityofBerkeley.info/Manager/)
can choose to either download the annual report in a printable, PDF
version, or they can read an interactive version and link directly
to other City web pages, forms, and community organizations.
The annual report is being translated
into Spanish and will be posted online by mid-September. Public
Health's Public Health Nurses and Community Health Workers,
the Neighborhood Service Liaisons, and other community-based City
workers will also distribute the reports directly to the
Spanish-speaking community or residents can request it by
email manager@ci.berkeley.ca.us
or by calling (510) 981-7000.
Si gustaria leer la versión en español, envie

Septiembre).
