The Vista Community Advocate page is for all Vistans who care about their community and what the City Council and Planning Commission are doing. In April 2016, a group of concerned citizens came together to fight the Paseo Santa Fe sign because the City forgot to put the name of our city on the sign. We were mistreated by the Council and told we should have been paying attention; that if we would
have paid attention we would have known about the sign that was in the planning for over 15 years. Well, evidence shows that the sign at one time did have VISTA on it and then it was changed. There is no evidence the sign was discussed in detail at public workshops. Plus, public workshops in our city are held during the workday when many citizens are unable to attend. At the two Council meetings regarding the sign, one councilmember in particular upset the group and in November 2016, we succeeded in making sure he wasn’t re-elected. We’ve had many other wins along the way and some failures too, but all in all, the success of this page is providing a place where concerned citizens can communicate about Vista. It is the goal of the administrator of this page to be accurate. Links to the City’s website and others are always provided so you can look up the information yourself. If you see something that is incorrect, please send a message or email. This page is also bi-partisan. Please share it with your friends and family. Your help in increasing the communication between Vistans is much appreciated! Thank you! - Vista Community Advocate
