The Regular City Council Meeting held on February 14, 2024, in Lincoln, California, featured discussions on community engagement and local concerns, particularly focusing on disability awareness and neighborhood cleanliness.

A representative from the nonprofit organization "A Touch of Understanding" addressed the council, highlighting their educational workshops aimed at elementary school students. The program, which has been active for over 30 years, aims to raise awareness about disabilities through interactive activities. The upcoming workshop at Foskett Elementary School is scheduled for February, and the representative encouraged council members and the public to participate, emphasizing the program's positive impact on over 100,000 students across multiple counties.

In another segment, resident Dawn Beltre provided an update on local issues related to homelessness and neighborhood cleanliness. She expressed gratitude for the city’s recent change to a street sign on Gateway Drive, which now allows for parking until 10 PM, enhancing accessibility for residents. However, she raised concerns about ongoing issues with trash and code enforcement in specific areas, noting that some problems have persisted for over a year. Beltre urged continued support for cleanup efforts and enforcement of local codes, particularly the "10 by 10" initiative aimed at maintaining neighborhood standards.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to community involvement and responsiveness to resident concerns, with plans for further engagement and action on local issues.
