NEWS BRIEFS 

VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS COMESS TO MONROVIA! 

FROM THE DESK OF THE MONROVIA CITY MANAGER: 

Many years ago I was privileged to meet a sitting President of the United States during a surprise visit. It was a moment 
in my personal and professional life that I share often and that I will never forget. In fact, the President chose to hold my 
newborn son who was only 4 weeks old at the time! This past week, our community was honored when the Vice President 
visited Old Town Monrovia. While few Monrovians were able to meet "VPOTUS," several Monrovians now have 
their own cherished stories to share with family and friends for years to come. Of course if you haven't learned all about 
Dream Big Children's Center, you certainly have by now as they are doing amazing work for children in our community. 

Closing down portions of Old Town - on the last day of school - for a dignitary visit requires help from many. I am so 
grateful to the many people who took part in planning for the visit including our own Police Lieutenant Dan Verna. He 
drafted, coordinated and oversaw the City's operational plan with less than 5 days' time. Additionally, staff from manydepartments pitched in and worked hard to host our guests from the White House, US Secret Service, CA Highway Patrol 
and many regional and local law enforcement agencies. A visit from the White House, no matter how long, comes with 
unintended consequences. Some businesses had little time to react to street and parking lot closures. Also, the City was 
advised NOT to share details of the event when we normally try so hard to engage with our merchants and community 
members for activities of any kind. In some ways, City staff felt like we had this little secret we wanted - needed - to share 
with the community and could not! For any inconvenience caused, we are so sorry but hope the experience was positive 
for most. 

As you look within this update for more information and updates, please check out the Food ED Auction where they are 
raising money for food and garden programs at our school sites. What a wonderful way to support healthy food education, 
schools and our children. Plus, there's one auction item on there that is impossible to put a price tag on...a personal 
tour of Monrovia Canyon Park with the Monrovia City Manager. I've been told he may even pick you up in one of his 
vintage Ford Mustangs and let you drive! What an exciting week and you'll see we have much to look forward to including 
summer events in Monrovia, employment opportunities, and much more. 

Sincerely,
Dylan Feik, City Manager
