Our Mission and Goals

The mission of the Piedmont Civic Association is to maintain and enhance Piedmont as a desirable community through the informed participation of its citizens. This well-respected Piedmont organization has been revived with active involvement of its early leaders. Its goals are to provide:

• A wider base of active and informed citizens in Piedmont
• A source of lively, accurate and factual information about our local government, including diverse and/or opposing viewpoints
• A civic voice that can speak forcefully and clearly, especially on matters of fiscal responsibility and good governance

Some of Piedmont’s current challenges include:

• Decreasing City revenues and increasing expenses.
• Unfunded commitments for public employee retirement and health benefits.
• Undergrounding administration and process
• City contract administration
• Consideration of a renewed Piedmont parcel tax
• The fiscal impact of new capital expenditure proposals

The Piedmont Civic Association’s goal is to allow you to easily participate in decisions facing our city. The PCA website provides information in one location. In addition, PCA emails offer links that allow you to easily contribute your comments in a timely manner to local elected officials, commissions and committees, and staff. The Piedmont Civic Association also plans to send out periodic citywide mailings and to host public forums.

At a time when many California cities are facing severe financial problems, Piedmont needs the informed support of its residents in order to be a strong and wisely governed city.  Through the PCA, busy residents can readily participate in civic activities and discussions.
