Lemoore withdraws city representation from Salvation Army advisory board
Summary
After attending advisory meetings, a council member recommended the city stop sending a representative to the local Salvation Army advisory board. The council voted 4‑0 to withdraw Lemoore’s representation.
The Lemoore City Council voted on June 3 to withdraw city representation from the local Salvation Army advisory board after Council Member Cruz reported the role produced limited informational value.
City Manager Marissa Trejo said the request came at Cruz’s suggestion after he attended several advisory‑board meetings and found them focused on building the Salvation Army’s presence rather than producing material benefits for the city. Cruz told the council he believed the Salvation Army would be better served by participation in city events and the consent calendar for community partnerships, rather than a formal city seat on its advisory board.
Council Member Cruz moved to withdraw the city from the advisory board; Council Member Brewster seconded. The council approved the withdrawal 4‑0. Trejo and staff will take necessary administrative steps to notify the Salvation Army and amend any listings of city representation.
No public comment was offered on the item during the meeting. Council members did not indicate further action to replace the seat or to reassign representation elsewhere.
(Administrative action: staff to notify the Salvation Army and update records.)
