Neal Andrews is a member of the Ventura City Council who attends the community council meetings on a regular basis throughout the year. We get to talk with him one-on-one about our concerns. It helps put our ideas in perspective and lets us reconsider what we are asking of the city in light of the general views of the other areas of town. That is really useful.

It would be my wish to see more City Council members attending these important gatherings. Andrews has been visiting these community meetings since he was elected four years ago. He takes his job as our representative seriously.
