‘Destination Weddings’ for Valentine’s Day
The Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder’s Office is set to accommodate 16 couples this Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) for “Destination Weddings” at the Martinez Cobra Museum.
The Cobra Museum seeks to showcase Shelby American cars, including the popular and still-beloved Cobra.
“The clerk’s office is thrilled to be able to offer a new venue for our Destination Weddings program,” assistant clerk-recorder Elizabeth Gutierrez said. “The Martinez Cobra Museum offers a romantic atmosphere for the ceremony and it also gives couples a beautiful photo opportunity with one of America’s most legendary cars.”
With spots filling up quickly, interested couples are encouraged to sign up immediately. A marriage license is required ahead of time from the Clerk-Recorder’s Office in Martinez. Couples may have up to 20 guests at the ceremony. More information is available here.
SRVUSD meeting changes
The next board meeting at the San Ramon Valley Unified School District is set to see the debut of some recent changes to the board’s by-laws on meetings, with an earlier meeting time being at the top of the list.
Starting at the next meeting on Feb. 21, the board will begin procedures at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. Other changes include adding an option for a summary on public comment cards, as well as a seat and table instead of a podium for public comments.
The next meeting will also mark the first in which members of the public will no longer be allowed to pull consent agenda items — those that are routine in nature and are approved by a single vote — for individual discussion and debate before approval.
Wastewater education program
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is inviting residents to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the county’s wastewater operations, as part of its latest Citizens Academy program.
“Central San Academy demystifies the work we do,” said Roger S. Bailey, Central San’s general manager. “Participants get an in-depth, inside look at what it takes to clean millions of gallons of wastewater every day. But just as significantly, they learn what we’re doing to manage costs, better protect our environment, and prepare for the future.”
Classes are scheduled for Tuesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Feb. 21, Feb. 28, March 21, and March 28, with a tour of treatment facilities during the day on March 6.
