Laguna officials’ open house entertains and explains

Laguna Beach City Council members and representatives from every city department were on hand to speak with the public during an open house Saturday.

Department officials held demonstrations, and a balloon artist and face painter entertained the children. Local radio station KX 93.5 broadcast live from the event, held in front of City Hall.

City Manager John Pietig wrote in an email that the community seemed to appreciate the opportunity to engage with city officials, “so we will likely plan to have additional open houses annually or every other year.”
