Three community presentations opened the Nov. 4 council meeting.

Mayor Warren read and presented a proclamation designating Nov. 29, 2025, as Small Business Saturday in Murrieta, citing that more than 3,600 small businesses in the city employ 25 or fewer people and encouraging residents to shop locally; Patrick Ellis of the Chamber accepted the proclamation.
Council took the items for the public record and took photos with presenters; no council action beyond presentation and proclamation was required.
