Sounds strange, doesn’t it? Well, strange as it seems, the San Jacinto City Council doesn’t overload their agendas. Their Tuesday night meeting lasted 20 minutes.

The San Jacinto City Council was late starting their meeting this week. Mayor Crystal Ruiz called the meeting to order at about 6:45 PM. She gaveled it closed at 7:36, less than an hour later. They set a record as the shortest meeting anyone can remember. They always seem to take care of matters before a meeting and usually do not discuss items on the consent calendar.

If the San Jacinto City Council could be paid a full salary 5 days a week for the time they spend meeting, it would be a plush job, indeed. This past Tuesday night’s meeting was quick, sweet, rewarding and an excellent way to follow a jolly Fourth of July.

On Sunday, June 12, 2022, at about 2:02 a.m., a San Jacinto Deputy observed a white Mercedes Benz sedan where the driver was suspected of driving under the influence. The deputy attempted to perform a traffic enforcement stop on the vehicle near the 400 block of Victoria Avenue, but the driver fled and attempted to evade the deputy.

The San Jacinto City Council meetings usually flow like velvet to a conclusion. On Tuesday night, they bogged down in one place. I’ll explain later.
