About the Program

Key to the City allows the public to peek behind the curtain of local government. Participants meet the Mayor and City staff, take part in a mock City Council meeting, venture on a "Discover Livermore" bus tour, and explore municipal facilities such as the fire training tower, water reclamation plant, and airport administration building during two-hour sessions held weekly for around 11 weeks.
