Votes at a glance: Riverbank council passes routine items, approves road abandonment and youth appointments; votes to agendize MOU termination
Summary
At the meeting the council approved the consent calendar and a road-abandonment resolution, appointed eight members to a new youth council, and voted to place consideration of terminating the Opportunity Stanislaus MOU on a future agenda.
Key formal actions taken at the Riverbank City Council meeting:
- Consent calendar (Items 9.1—6.5): Approved by roll call 5-0. (Motion carried; standard routine items on consent.)
- Road abandonment — Old Crawford Road / Westgate Drive (Item 10.1): Council adopted a resolution vacating about 0.64 acres of Westgate Drive (formerly Old Crawford Road) to facilitate a future intersection alignment at Machado Parkway. Outcome: approved, roll call 5-0.
- Youth Council appointments (Item 11.1): Council approved a resolution appointing eight candidates to the city's first Riverbank Youth Council for terms through May 2026. Outcome: approved, roll call 5-0. The city scheduled a swearing-in/photo ceremony for appointees.
- Memorandum of Understanding with Opportunity Stanislaus (Item 11.2): Following discussion of program outcomes and local outreach, a councilmember moved to place an item on a future agenda to consider terminating the MOU with Opportunity Stanislaus. The motion to agendize termination passed 4-0-1 on roll call; Mayor Rachel Hernandez recorded an abstention. The motion does not itself terminate the agreement; it schedules formal council consideration at a later meeting.
No construction contracts or final financing commitments for the recycled-water project were approved at this meeting; consultants were directed to return with value-engineering alternatives and updated financing scenarios.
