Below is a summary of what is due to occur at this week's Council meeting.

The La Mesa City Council will hear a staff report on the city's climate protection actions.

Some La Mesa streets will be getting repaved, as the council will move to approve awarding a bid to American Asphalt South, Inc., for the purpose of maintaining streets, sealing cracks, and applying rubberized slurry coating to various streets around the city, as part of the city's pavement maintenence program. The company was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract amount for the year is for about $645,000.

The council will also move to approve a resolution that would temporarily close off streets along, and some adjacent to, the parade route for the 2012 La Mesa Flag Day Parade, which will occur Saturday, June 2. The resolution calls for a closure from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the date of the parade.
