Authority members promote homeownership fair, Juneteenth event and urge voters to use dropboxes; treasurer reports congressional funding
Summary
Board members announced a homeownership fair on June 6 and a Juneteenth celebration on June 13, reminded residents about ballot dropboxes and vote centers, and the city treasurer reported a $250,000 check from Congresswoman Nette Baragan with an additional $2 million expected for senior‑wing improvements.
Board members used the June 1 Carson Reclamation Authority meeting to highlight several upcoming community events and to remind residents about voting logistics ahead of the election.
A homeownership fair is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the civic/community center; staff and board members encouraged residents to attend for information on programs for first‑time homebuyers and lender resources. A Juneteenth celebration is planned for Saturday, June 13, at Anderson Park (corner of University and Wilmington); attendees will be allowed into the park starting at 10:30 a.m., with the program beginning at 11:00 a.m. Organizers asked attendees to support vendors and noted event rules (no alcohol, no smoking, no dogs on the park during the event).
Officials also reminded voters that ballots mailed late will not be counted and urged residents to return ballots directly to one of Carson’s vote centers or to an LA County dropbox bearing the county seal.
The city treasurer told the board that a congresswoman provided a $250,000 check to help pay for fiber‑optic installations across the city and said an additional $2 million to enhance the senior wing is expected; when asked which congresswoman, the treasurer identified Nette Baragan. The announcement was informational; no formal board action was taken on those funds during the meeting.
The meeting adjourned with thanks to staff and council members.
