According to the city’s website, a meet-the-candidates forum is scheduled for Thursday, February 8 from 7 to 8 p.m. in City Hall, 7047 Sunset Drive. Members of the League of Women Voters will moderate.

The city of approximately 5,000 that is about one square mile in size has a commission form of government comprised of five at-large members, one of whom is elected as mayor. They meet twice each month. Each commissioner oversees a city department such as public safety or community improvement while the mayor oversees all administrative services.
