Forum record
Completed September 8. KXFM streamed the joint City Council and School Board forum live. So Laguna has not yet verified a permanent audio or video replay link.
The City lists this independently hosted forum after the organizer affirmed that candidates were offered equal time and opportunity to appear. The listing does not establish that every candidate has confirmed attendance, and it is not City sponsorship or endorsement.
Recording and recap: KXFM streamed the forum live. So Laguna has not yet verified a permanent audio or video replay link. An official archive will be added if KXFM publishes one.
