March 31 – City Offices Closed

City Hall and the Community Center will be closed Tuesday, March 31^st for a state holiday. Street sweeping and PCH parking restrictions will also be suspended for the holiday, but metered parking will remain in effect. Construction activities and trash collection will both proceed according to their usual schedules. 

March 31st remains an observed holiday in our City's employee calendar under California law, but a date on a calendar does not represent an endorsement. As a City, we recognize the deeply disturbing allegations surrounding César Chavez. We stand with the survivors, and we support the Legislature’s and Governor's efforts to rename this holiday to honor farmworkers.

On Saturday, April 4 from 8am to noon, the City and Athens Services will host paper shredding and compost giveaway event. Free to residents, the event will take place at the Community Center (710 Pier Avenue - enter driveway off Pier Avenue).
