Santa Monica Neighbors Civic Education Chapter 7 - 12

The Santa Monica Civic Education Series is a community resource created to help residents understand how local government decisions are studied, funded, and made.


Local government decisions shape our neighborhoods, infrastructure, housing, environment, and public services.

When residents understand the process, they can participate more effectively and hold government accountable.


This series is designed to make Santa Monica’s civic process clear, accessible, and transparent for everyone.
