The seniors in these groups\nare 60 years young and are all very dedicated, active and participate at\nvarious events free of charge representing Baldwin Park. The names of\nthe groups are the International Line Dance and Baldwin Park Art Dance\nGroup\n• Direct Staff to develop procedures to further promote cross-departmental\ncollaboration in reporting issues or situations in the field that require a\nservice response from the City in addressing a potentially unsafe\ncondition, such as a malfunctioning street signal, an obstruction in the\nroadway, a hazard on the sidewalk, etc. Helping keep our City clean and\nsafe is a shared responsibility between all of us, including residents.
