Announcements

Folks: At the Planning Commission mtg on 10/17, it was announced that they WILL NO LONGER allow Public Comment via Zoom. We’ll see if they make the same announcement at next week’s Council meeting. Going forward all Public Comments will likely need to be made in person.

The Council DOES meet on Tues, 10/24. There is 1 presentation item (fire safety related) that goes first. They are also approving their Capital (project) Improvement Plan which includes $3.6M toward their Recycled Wastewater Project (sewer treatment plant expansion). For Zoom participation the meeting # is: 882 5144 4734 and the link to it is at the bottom of the Agenda (riverbank.org).

BALLOT INITIATIVE UPDATE: This week I confirmed that the # of valid petition signatures we need is 1,277 but we hope to get upwards of 1,400 so we have a “cushion.” The deadline is the close of business on Dec. 19 but want be done BEFORE Thanksgiving so I can meet w/ the City to turn the petitions in. I’m still waiting for an updated count but we were at about 1,200 so we’re nearly there - yay!
