Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rialto public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Public Works Director Authority Ordinance
A new ordinance would give the Public Works Director the same legal authority as the City Engineer for things like project approvals and truck routes, speeding up city operations. It passed first reading and needs a second vote to take effect.
Ethics Investigation
Rialto Councilmember Andy Carrizales is off the hook for conflict of interest claims regarding a warehouse project. While he dodged a bullet, the fight over whether to build more warehouses in the city is far from over.
Ethics Violation
A Rialto councilmember is in hot water over an alleged ethics violation. The complaint suggests they might have broken conflict-of-interest rules, potentially shaking up local politics.
Bioenergy Facility Restructuring
The company behind Rialto's bioenergy plant is going bankrupt! This could mess with how we handle trash and where our power comes from, so it's a big deal for the city to figure out.
City Administrator Appointment
Rialto's got a new top dog running the city's daily grind! Rod Foster is now the City Administrator, meaning he's in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly and the city council's plans actually happen.
Smoking Ban
Rialto is cracking down on smoking in public spaces like parks. If you're a smoker, you'll need to find a new spot to light up, as these areas are now off-limits.
