Dear members and supporters—
PDB’s July General Membership Meeting will be later in the month than our usual second Tuesday so we can accommodate our special guests’ schedules for an exciting program.
This month, PDB will be meeting on Thursday, July 25 at 7pm, over Zoom. Our program will feature representatives from Benicia City Council’s ISO Subcommittee and the Benicia Industrial Safety and Health Ordinance (BISHO) Working Group, who will be joining us to share perspectives on the adoption of an Industrial Safety Ordinance (ISO) in Benicia.
Save the Dates: ISO Presentations on 7/16 & 7/25
First, please save the date of Tuesday, July 16 to watch the 6pm Benicia City Council meeting, where our City Council and the Benicia community will receive an update from the Industrial Safety Ordinance (ISO) Subcommittee. Vice-Mayor Terry Scott, Council Member Kari Birdseye, and Fire Chief Josh Chadwick have over the last several months met with key stakeholders and experts to draft a model ISO for Benicia, and we’re very excited to learn more about their process and how it’s going.
Then, at our Thursday, July 25 Zoom Membership Meeting, PDB members, supporters, and any interested community members can learn more about the road to Benicia’s ISO from Vice Mayor Terry Scott. Terry Mollica, chair of the resident-led BISHO Working Group, will also be on hand to share his views and more about how he thinks we can support the effort. We have the link for that available below if you would like to save it to your calendar.
This will be a fascinating discussion where you can learn about how you can support City leaders and staff as we strive toward a safer, healthier Benicia for all.
