Councilman John Manos moved to approve the consent calendar items, excluding item 14, and Mayor Pro Tem McGee seconded; the motion to move the balance of consent passed 4-0. Item 14 — the temporary license to use part of the Albert Hill Ranch Community Park parking lot for a charter school site — was pulled for public comment and then approved on a 4-0 vote on a motion by Manos and second by McGee.

The public hearing on the Landscaping and Street Lighting Maintenance District (Maintenance District No. 1) for FY2025–26 was opened and closed with no members of the public commenting. Manos moved to adopt the two resolutions confirming the assessments and McGee seconded; the motion passed 4-0. City staff and the clerk confirmed required notices and exhibits had been posted in advance.

On the placement of delinquent nuisance-abatement charges, staff presented that the action would place a single parcel's abatement costs on the tax roll pursuant to Government Code section 39574 and Chapter 8.18 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. The council adopted the confirming resolution on a motion by Mayor Pro Tem McGee with a second from Councilman Sheridan; the motion passed 4-0.

The council also approved two successor agency consent items; Vice Chair McGee moved those items with a second from Board Member Sheridan and the motion carried 4-0.

Kim Cousins, president and CEO of the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce, addressed the council in support of the temporary charter-school license, noting county-level approval of the charter and urging the council to proceed. “We are firmly behind the success of this charter school as a choice, a parental choice, and a children's choice within education,” Cousins said.

There were no recorded public objections to the items listed above. The council recorded all votes as unanimous among the four members present; Councilmember Johnson was absent.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Lake Elsinore - City Council Meeting (trimmed) - Jul 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Lake Elsinore City Council on a 4-0 vote Tuesday adopted multiple routine actions, including confirming the Landscaping and Street Lighting Maintenance District for fiscal year 2025–26, approving placement of one delinquent nuisance-abatement charge on the tax roll, and granting a temporary license for a charter school to use a portion of the Albert Hill Ranch Community Park parking lot while it completes a permanent site on Riverside Drive.","taxTitle","Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California","taxId",3775,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6508859,"Lake Elsinore mayor rejects social-media accusations, says council will not become sanctuary city",233,1970000,2203000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5453269-d6514757751b135fe91f185954198811&start=1970&end=2203","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5453269-d6514757751b135fe91f185954198811/thumbnail_1970000.jpg","/articles/6508859/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/Lake-Elsinore-mayor-rejects-social-media-accusations-says-council-will-not-become-sanctuary-city","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6508859-a8f7cdfa7e169bd63301317ff797c07a/orig.mp4?Expires=1776507836&Signature=ZCsp14JdIHXdzJs08aPk~8vV79EASiST7XM1QAWVrv4N2ufz8pSYlgTikDl5hLpP5KdC1u82-PpOi-kBCHS6-9RfJ32OIPOGlF2XdPKcqgpEIRQz2nDpeWT11zApyy5nIDCQLfXoYpohqmqh1SQ21jO09a3ZAGguhTRpXWssut9S182WHLBhy2iASKzKhrzWgALGLz7ohwj9maVpsHbtQRBSdNkzEHxVDODKjIUiIy23ErhlfxM3gQiEKPe24AXQpri9fBXM6XfFFQ6yB-a~Vk-KPjzLJxVsudwU-t8tqUgfpMyG0PCzQDSfWqP5dMzGBO2D2veKIITOREIkMtESQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Dennis Tisdale used his council time to rebuke social-media posts he described as false and inflammatory and to reiterate his position that the city will not declare itself a sanctuary city.

Tisdale said a social-media influencer, identified in council remarks as Alan Vargas, was not present at the prior meeting and had taken select words out of context. He said his earlier remarks — given during a June council meeting when a member of the public requested a sanctuary-city declaration — were intended to emphasize vigilance and public-safety coordination during busy holiday weekends, not to encourage immigration-enforcement actions.

\"I stated the city of Lake Elsinore will not become a sanctuary city because it does not serve us,\" Tisdale said. \"If our law enforcement agencies cannot work effectively with the FBI and other relevant agencies, we will be at risk of being unsafe.\" He added that his comments were about safety and urged residents to \"if you see something, say something.\"

Tisdale described the social-media posts as \"false, misleading, and inflammatory\" and formally requested a public apology from Mr. Vargas and the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice. He said the mischaracterizations had created division in the community and did not reflect his record of service, which he summarized by noting his 22 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and his current emergency-management work for Riverside County.

The mayor directed residents to the city's archived video of the prior meeting for the public record and said the council avoids federal issues that could divide the city. He also said his remarks had nothing to do with encouraging calls to federal immigration authorities or bounty hunters, contrary to the claims in the social-media posts.

Tisdale closed by saying he would continue to prioritize safety and community unity and asked that false, divisive claims be corrected.","Mayor Dennis Tisdale asked for a public apology from a social-media influencer who he said mischaracterized remarks from a prior council meeting, reiterating that his comments were about public-safety vigilance during large events and not about immigration enforcement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6508864,"CAL FIRE says Lake Elsinore handled 1,774 incidents in Q2; average response time improves to 4.4 minutes",247,619000,866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5453269-d6514757751b135fe91f185954198811&start=619&end=866","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5453269-d6514757751b135fe91f185954198811/thumbnail_619000.jpg","/articles/6508864/Lake-Elsinore/Riverside-County/California/CAL-FIRE-says-Lake-Elsinore-handled-1774-incidents-in-Q2-average-response-time-improves-to-44-minutes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6508864-9450b2f8def3cee5b743a587a1f82311/orig.mp4?Expires=1776507836&Signature=VP6NuF-KTSyg08MnD6bEB7dN1OtXVJExgGukFRGzncKYaIhhPh~vkDVrlupdqqgyiucnJuAscf63vCGV4IW4beQBWzsaeKjJP2~udhl3oliEmpgdAIJhgW5XHK7OpAACq2vQ2o9CwPt4SnQB45xQwIpcTgfNnExI4dFXyTJZ5xgOObcWWF5OJljT8wxxoZ-mH76m6BkMdqTvt13I9soHnb99T7ta45wnuWRd4vF35C1FPhT1XQHR3SY5fxMcE2quFOLzKjPJJvN6OTa3regJdHDgIMCIudCF~4YptcfLLXc5JUSbCOKoCzqMc8mx9aIXI5PF~f4G4pY~vR6a3kTytA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","CAL FIRE presented its second-quarter report for April through June 2025 to the Lake Elsinore City Council, reporting 1,774 total incidents citywide, with medical aid calls making up the majority.

Chief Reid told the council the quarter included 1,365 medical-aid calls, 180 traffic collisions, 26 vegetation fires and seven residential-structure fires. The department's average response time improved to 4.4 minutes for the quarter; the prior quarterly reports showed 4.6 and 4.9 minutes, Reid said.

Reid noted the department works closely with neighboring agencies through automatic and mutual aid. He said Lake Elsinore assisted the city of Canyon Lake 19 times while Canyon Lake assisted Lake Elsinore 15 times. For other nearby jurisdictions, Lake Elsinore gave aid to Menifee (4), Wildomar (36) and the county (219); assistance received included Menifee (16), Wildomar (54) and the county (70). Reid said Station 97 is deliberately designed to run calls into the county and that staffing agreements reflect that arrangement.

The department reported 99 plan reviews with an average turnaround of 10 days and 107 fire inspections with a two-day average turnaround, matching staff goals. Chief Reid also noted the city's new Quint 97 ladder apparatus will be taken into service this weekend following a recent climb-and-familiarization demonstration with the mayor.

Council members thanked the department for meeting turnaround goals and for improvements in response time. Mayor Dennis Tisdale and others praised the cooperative mutual-aid arrangements and city investment in equipment.

\"We are doing very well on that,\" Reid said, referencing response-time performance and NFPA standards.

He invited council questions and credited city management and the community for supporting modern apparatus and staffing.","CAL FIRE reported 1,774 incidents in Lake Elsinore for April–June 2025, including 1,365 medical-aid calls, 180 traffic collisions and 26 vegetation fires; average response time improved to 4.4 minutes, Chief Reid told the council.","actionData","errors"]
