Trustees, city representative spar over red curb painting; district to pursue talks with City Manager
Summary
Trustees questioned whether the city provided public notice and safety study after Public Works painted a red curb across district frontage without apparent council approval. City Council member Mr. Rivas said the council did not authorize the work; the district will continue discussions with the City Manager.
Board members discussed ingress and egress patterns along the district's Main Street frontage after teachers and staff flagged fresh red paint across the front of campus. Trustee Frank Perez asked Public Works to check the rust on gym doors and raised the red‑curb issue; Trustee Michael Fong asked whether the red curb had been repainted or newly painted in other areas.
City Council member Mr. Rivas, present at the meeting, told trustees the city council did not approve painting the red curb along the front of three properties (CHS, district office and Fremont). He said the Public Works Director acted without formal council approval and that Chief Fowler confirmed the action at the City Council meeting in August. Trustee Diego Navarro asked whether adequate public notice or a traffic/safety study had occurred. The board agreed to continue engagement with the City Manager.
