A new feature has appeared on the home page of the Moraga Town web site; it is called "About Town, a Bi-Weekly Update from Moraga Town Staff." "For the past few years, the Town has been trying to do more to reach out to folks to keep them informed," said Mayor Dave Trotter, " 'About Town' will be a key part of our ongoing effort to communicate with the broader Moraga community." The person in charge of this effort is Town Manager Mike Segrest, who is following in the footsteps of another City Manager, Lafayette's Steve Falk, who publishes his "Friday Summary" to keep interested residents in the loop on city happenings. 'About Town' will be updated on the Fridays that follow Town Council meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The variety of topics addressed in the first issue, published on September 30th, include updates on the town housing element and the Rancho Laguna II project, police staffing and Hacienda repair plans. "I am doing this simply to get information out to the community so residents can have accurate information about what is happening in the Town," said Segrest, "anyone who wishes to receive 'About Town' can email Marty McInturf at mmcinturf@moraga.ca.us to be added to the email list." Or go to the Town's website, http://moraga.ca.us and read it online.
