Three members of the public used the council’s public-comment period to raise separate concerns the council may address.

Greg Langworthy of the Riverside Election Integrity Team urged officials to ensure voter‑roll accuracy, citing Election Code 15302(d) and saying his organization is working with Riverside County supervisors to review reconciliation procedures. His remarks emphasized the need for accurate voter rolls and reconciled ballot counts.

Renee Griffiths compared the proposed police pay schedule to firefighter pay, arguing that at the example step police and firefighter annual earnings are roughly the same but firefighters would work about 1,040 additional hours to match police annual pay; she requested the full benefit-package details for both departments to determine whether non-wage benefits offset the hourly disparity. ‘‘Under the pay schedules you are proposing right now, Canyon Lake firefighter paramedics will be required to work over 1000 hours every year to reach the same annual pay as a Canyon Lake police officer,’’ Griffiths said.

Matt Piercy urged the council to address reckless driving and distracted golf-cart driving on neighborhood side streets, described risk to children who play in the street, and suggested traffic-calming options such as painted lane-narrowing, crosswalks, additional stop signs and curb extensions. Piercy noted federal and state funding sources he believed could support such projects, including USDOT’s Safe Streets and Roads for All competitive grants and Caltrans local assistance programs.

The mayor noted Brown Act limits on discussion during public comment but suggested staff and relevant POA representatives could follow up on parking and private-road jurisdiction questions.

No formal council action was taken during public comment; members asked staff to follow up where appropriate.
