Although the news might turn your stomach, City Hall wants residents to listen to Santa Monica’s economic forecast at a breakfast next month.

Jack Kyser, chief economist at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation, will speak to local civic and business leaders Jan. 7 at 7:30 a.m. in the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, east room, 1855 Main St., on the state of Santa Monica’s economic future.

Although Kyser, a well-known economic forecaster, will present his take on the short-and long-term outlook for the state and region, his primary focus will be on Santa Monica — unique economic issues affecting the city, the financial challenges and opportunities facing various segments of the community and City Hall, and how best to use resources to guarantee a solid financial future.

Cost for the “Santa Monica ‘Piers’ into the Future” event is $15 per person, payable at the door. It includes a continental breakfast. Call the City of Santa Monica finance department at (310) 458-8281 to make reservations.
