The Week That Was and That Will Be - May 6

myBurbank Talks

Picture this: you're soaring high with the LA County Fire Department, the cityscape shrinking below, and the thrill of the wind whipping around you. That's just a taste of the adventure Ross Benson, Craig Durling, and I, Craig Sherwood, recount on this week's myBurbank Talks episode. We've got the scoop on local happenings, from John Salazar Jr.'s striking photo contest win to the heartfelt moments at the Boys and Girls gala. We're also tipping our hats to newsletter contest winner Andrew Biser and sending a special shoutout to planning board commissioner Samantha Wick for her unwavering support. Buckle up, Burbank buddies, because this episode takes you on a community roller coaster ride of insights and camaraderie.
Ever wondered what it's like to be at the helm of city decisions? Dive into the heart of civic duty with us as we dissect the ins and outs of joining Burbank's city boards and commissions. You'll hear firsthand stories that just might inspire you to take up the mantle yourself. And for those with an eye on the city's pulse, we've got the latest on landlord-tenant policy woes and the city council's budget gymnastics. Whether you're a Star Wars fan cheering "May the Fourth" or a Star Trek aficionado celebrating "First Contact Day," our banter on cultural dates will spark your festive spirit.
Of course, the City's budget will be the bid City Council talking point this month, and the hosts will delve into the 661-page report and discuss things such as a new part-time Paramedic squad.
We wrap things up with a look ahead, steering through the maze of parking strategies for this weekend's electric events, including Fire Service Day and the Celebrate Burbank shindig. Don't miss our heartfelt tribute to mothers everywhere as we round off with a gentle reminder to cherish the upcoming Mother's Day. And don't forget about Fire and Police Service Day this weekend, during which we will be doing a remote podcast! Join us as we continue to weave the vibrant tapestry of Burbank's news, culture, and history. This episode isn't just a listen; it's a celebration of the community we love.
