Los Al to Decide Fate of 'Community Give-Back' Monday
Residents voted for what they wanted to fund most in a 2012 survey. No. 1 on the list? They wanted the city to plant trees.
Los Alamitos asked last year.
And, on Monday, officials will decide what do with the resident's answers.
The City Council is scheduled to talk about the results of the Community Give-Back survey, a questionnaire that quizzed locals on what they thought Los Al should fund with about one percent of the city’s utility users tax revenue -- $358,000.

In 2012, the Council voted to create the survey after they decided that strong budget reserves afford Los Al an opportunity to exercise a one-time give-back to the community.
Now they have the survey results and are scheduled to make a decision.
