Mayor Victor Gordo is set to give the annual State of the City Speech at 7 p.m. on Feb. 24 at Westerbrook Hall for the Performing Arts at Pasadena City College. In person attendance is limited because of COVID protocols.
“In 2021, our theme for the State of the City was A Time Like No Other! Along with the rest of the world, we were struggling in every aspect of our lives: personal, professional, financial, health, and family—with little end in sight,” Gordo said in his weekly newsletter.
“At that time, vaccines were just being rolled out, we communicated primarily via Zoom, and we watched as many of our neighbors struggled and mourned for loved ones. I said then I believed that by working together, we would come out stronger than when we entered the pandemic. And, one year later, we have proven just that. Pasadena is resilient and We Are Stronger Together!”
According to the charter, “No later than February of each year, the Mayor shall present a thematic budget message for the upcoming fiscal year to the City Council.”
The purpose of the speech is to encourage public suggestions and comments on the City budget prior to its preparation and ultimate approval by the City Council.
Last year’s speech was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
