Welcome to our weekly digest on public meetings and agenda items worthy of your attention in the next week. This guide is part of our mission to provide everyday Riversiders like you with the information to speak up on the issues you care about.
The Housing and Homelessness Committee meets on Monday, August 28, at 3:30 p.m. (agenda). The only item for discussion is a 30-minute presentation from Michelle Davis, the City's Housing Authority Manager, giving an update on Riverside's Homelessness Action Plan in a continuation of last month's meeting.
Here are a few highlights from the report, which covers July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023:
The RPU Board meets on Monday, August 14, at 6:30 p.m.(agenda) for a Public Hearing on the proposed utility rate increases.
The current 5-year rate plan for water expired on June 30, 2023, and electricity expires on December 31, 2023. RPU management says existing rates do not sufficiently fund the utility's increasing operational and capital costs.
The Planning Commission meeting is canceled this week.
