Riverside has its own cryptid legend—the chupacabra. While skeptics point to mangy coyotes, eyewitnesses claim something larger and more menacing lurks in the shadows.
An annual review of the City's efforts to reduce homelessness, the possible expansion of RPU's low-income assistance to cover trash pickup, and consideration towards the potential sale or donation of two decommissioned RPD helicopters are all on City Hall agendas this week.
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.
City Council will meet in closed and open sessions on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. (agenda). The agenda includes:
