Welcome to our weekly digest on public meetings and agenda items worthy of your attention in the next week. This guide is part of our mission to provide everyday Riversiders like you with the information to speak up on the issues you care about.
The Community Police Review Commission meets on Wednesday, May 28, at 5:30 p.m. (agenda) to review 2024 police department data collected under California’s Racial and Identity Profiling Act. The data shows potential disparities in traffic stops, particularly for Black residents—who were stopped at more than twice their census population rate—and males, who represented 72–75% of all stops despite making up roughly half the population.
Council will consider the potential conversion of a hotel into permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals, an $8.1 million contract for a Patterson Park renovation, and updates to industrial development standards that address community concerns about warehouse proliferation.
