Coffee with the Mayor- A Good Morning Brew for Lathrop

By: Bobbie Singh-Allen

The first “Coffee with the Mayor” was a huge

success. Over 40 residents and business leaders

attended the hour-long chat at Eureka Coffee.

Mayor Kristy Sayles took questions from

concerned citizens on issues facing Lathrop.

Questions ranged from graffiti tagging at Parks

to business at City Hall.

The event was organized by Vision’s for a Better

Lathrop that includes: Mary Kennedy-Bracken

(Major Account Representative for BOSS), Sharon Ferrer (Land Investment Consultant, Velur

Enterprises, Inc), Cynthia Summers (Realtor for Connect), Jud McDonald (Retirement Income

Specialist) and Frank Cavaco (Publisher of The Lathrop RUSH). It will continue as a monthly

gathering where constituents can bring their concerns directly to the Mayor. “These coffees

are a way for me to connect better with Lathrop,” said Mayor Kristy Sayles. “I think people

are more likely to bring up any issues in a casual setting over coffee than at City Hall,” she

said.

The attendees included some of Lathrop’s top leaders including City Manager Yvonne Quirring

and Planning Commissioners Bennie Gatto and Jose Perez. At the close of the meeting, Mayor

Sayles remained to answer additional questions one-on-one.

The next coffee is set for April 16th from 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. at Eureka Coffee. Lathrop residents

are encouraged to attend.
