Holtville council hears Little League concerns, introduces housing board representative and names League of California Cities delegate
Summary
During public comment, Holtville Little League president Julie Browning thanked the city for brighter lights and raised maintenance and scheduling concerns; council introduced Ricky Samson as a new representative to the Imperial Valley Housing Authority board and voted to designate the mayor as delegate and Mr. Goodsell as alternate to the League of California Cities conference.
During the public comment period, Julie Browning, president of Holtville Little League, thanked the city for recently installed lights that improved safety but said the fall season will not use the local park while field maintenance and insurance/liaison requirements are worked out. "That is super bright out there. That makes it so much better for our players," she said, and asked about maintenance and potential grants for restoration.
Council introduced two new Imperial Valley Housing Authority representatives. Ricky Samson (self-identified) thanked the council for recommending him to the housing authority board and described early plans such as installing a bench in honor of Joan; Brian Vega was noted as a board member who could not attend the meeting.
On new business, council considered designation of delegates to the League of California Cities annual conference in Long Beach. Staff recommended the mayor as the delegate with Mr. Goodsell as the alternate. The council moved, seconded and by roll call recorded "Yes" votes from Mike Pacheco, John Munger, Mike Goodsell, Richard Layton and Marie Anderson to formally designate the representatives.
Staff also reported community events including a candidate forum scheduled for Oct. 10 at 6 p.m. at the Civic Center and gave a preview of upcoming presentations from River Partners about a trail extension. The domestic violence proclamation was deferred to a future meeting.
