Torrance City Council – A Town Hall Style Conversation About Local Politics

Mayor Furey recently unveiled plans to conduct a series of “Torrance Town Halls with the Mayor” over the next few months.  The meetings will be held at various locations throughout Torrance with the intent of providing residents more insight into what is currently “in the works.”

As part of the Council agenda for the meeting to be held tomorrow night, the City Manager is seeking approval from the Council to allow City staff to provide support for these meetings.  How much that additional support will cost taxpayers is not identified.

The first of these meetings is scheduled to be held at North High School on October 27th.
