Financing City Services Task Force Chair to Speak About Sales Tax Increase

Bruce Banco will speak this morning at the Pacifica Democrats meeting. Don't miss it.

Hot on the heels of Pacifica's Financial Services Task Force's recommendation to the city council for a half-cent sales tax increase, Bruce Banco, the task force's chair, will be the guest speaker at the Pacifica Democrats monthly breakfast meeting, scheduled for today, Feb. 18, in the banquet room of the Sharp Park Golf Course Restaurant, located at Hwy 1 and Sharp Park Boulevard in Pacifica.

Banco will discuss all activities of the task force, including its goals, objectives, work plan, the development of the financial plan options, the community forum process and, very importantly, the development of the final recommendations and plan for the Pacifica city council.

"I will provide up-to-date details and status of our final recommendations and the calendar of upcoming events," Banco said.

Banco, a 36-year resident of Pacifica, is no stranger to community involvement. In addition to being the Chairperson of the 2011-2012 Financing City Services Task Force, he is President of Pacificans Care, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit funding source for social service organizations in Pacifica.

Banco is also the first Vice President of the Fog Fest Organizing Group (FFOG), which plans and operates the annual local Fog Fest in Pacifica. Prior to that, Banco was a PB&R Commissioner for twelve years, past president of the Pacifica American Little League and Pacifica Pony-Colt Baseball and has generally been involved in youth sports and recreation activities for over 25 years.

All Pacifica Democrats programs are open to the general public. It is neither necessary to be a Democrat nor a club member to attend the monthly speaker series presentations. Doors open at 9a.m. Seating is between 9a.m. and 9:30a.m. A full breakfast is available for $12; continental for $6 and coffee only for $3. If you have any questions or wish to R.S.V.P. for this meeting, please email barietta@hotmail.com or call 415-246-0775.
