The City Council of Guadalupe, CA, convened on September 9, 2025, to address community concerns and discuss upcoming events. The meeting began with expressions of gratitude towards city leadership for their ongoing support and efforts to restore local facilities. A community open house is planned for October, inviting residents to reconnect and share a meal together.

Following this, resident Deborah Sykes raised urgent concerns regarding loose dogs in her neighborhood. She reported incidents of aggressive behavior from a dark German shepherd, which has resulted in bites to both a child and a postal carrier. Sykes emphasized the potential loss of door-to-door mail service if the situation is not addressed, as the postal service may consider alternative delivery methods. She urged the city to take action, noting that previous calls to animal control have not yielded results.

The discussion highlighted the ongoing issue of loose dogs in the area, with residents expressing their frustrations on social media. The council acknowledged the concerns raised and assured that the chief of police had heard the issues presented.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to address the community's concerns and improve local safety measures. Further updates on the situation with loose dogs and the upcoming open house will be provided in future meetings.
