Council approves Community Advisory Board work plan and annual report
Summary
The council unanimously approved the Community Advisory Board (CAV) work plan for 2025-27 and the annual report; staff noted district-based outreach (five fall meetings) and $47,000 in community-improvement grants awarded this year.
The City Council voted unanimously to adopt the 2025-27 work plan and annual report for the Community Advisory Board (CAV). Ana Horta, director of Community Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations, presented the board99s history and its role connecting the city with neighborhoods.
Andrea Rodredguez (CAV president) and Jul Fretas (vice president) described accomplishments including district-based neighborhood meetings (five in the fall with 84 total attendees across districts), community events, and distribution of community improvement grants (the presentation noted $47,000 awarded in grants and additional grants totaling the figures presented). The plan emphasizes community education, meaningful participation, and coordination with council goals such as public safety and inclusivity.
Members of the public and council praised the board's outreach; council then moved to adopt the plan and accept the annual report. The roll call shows the motion passed with seven affirmative votes.
Staff said the plan has no fiscal-year budget impact for this year and that the CAV will continue district-level engagement and grant oversight.
