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.
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.
