Tuesday's meeting covered a broad range of activities. There was a focus on new development in Hemet. There is real energy and excitement about the new housing developments coming in. This council is determined to move forward in terms of accountability and most importantly, new development in Hemet.

We were greeted by a larger than usual audience, no doubt because there was a selection of new commissioners being made for the Measure U Committee.

On Tuesday, February 23, City Council convened, minus one council member. Linda Krupa was excused, but there were enough council members present to meet a quorum. There were many items on the agenda. Although it was originally planned, the vote on Measure U appointees was delayed due to Ms. Krupa’s absence.

All council members were physically present with Councilman Joe Males working remotely. The invocation was given by 2 presenters with Councilman Lilienthal leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

By a 3-2 vote, the City of Hemet terminated the services of long time City Attorney Eric Vail to take effect immediately and in replacing him interim City Attorney, Steven Graham from Cole Huber LLP. A permanent selection will be in completing an RFP process. A number of actions were taken and approved in public session.
