Council approves consent calendar, multiple agreements and TCSD contract for homeless‑encampment cleanup

The Temecula City Council unanimously approved its consent calendar on April 8, clearing a range of routine items including minutes, the treasurer’s report, and multiple public‑works and professional services agreements. On the consent calendar the council:

- Waived additional readings for ordinances and resolutions and approved the minutes of March 25, 2025. - Adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑04 amending Temecula Municipal Code sections related to public works bidding thresholds (second reading). - Approved agreements and amendments for public‑works projects, weed abatement services and environmental‑review consulting (items included but not all detail specified in the public presentation). - Accepted notices of completion for capital projects including a traffic‑signal upgrade and a community recreation center splash pad and sunshade project. - Established stop control at a local intersection and received temporary street-closure notifications for Springfest events.

Temecula Community Services District (TCSD) action: The council recessed to the Temecula Community Services District meeting during the agenda. TCSD approved the action minutes and approved a non‑exclusive contractor services agreement with Wild West Junk Removal LLC in the amount of $1,500,000 for dangerous and unhealthy homeless encampment cleanup; another contractor (West SWPPP Services) withdrew its item and no action was taken on that portion.

Votes: The consent calendar and the TCSD contract passed unanimously by verbal roll call.

Notes: Staff clarified that the TCSD had withdrawn one contractor from consideration; the $1.5 million contract with Wild West Junk Removal LLC was the item advanced by TCSD and was approved without recorded dissent.
