The Riverbank City Council meeting on May 14, 2024, kicked off with a significant accolade as the Central Valley Community Resources (CVCR) was honored as the Nonprofit of the Year for California's Senate District, awarded by Senator Marie Alvarado Gill. Council member Barbara Martinez and the dedicated staff of CVCR were recognized for their impactful services to the community.
In addition to this celebration, the meeting welcomed Joshua, the new Director of Community Development, marking his first official appearance. The council also expressed gratitude to city staff for their involvement in the recent Love Riverbank event and the Founders Day Carnival, particularly highlighting Jessica Barragan's efforts in organizing the annual health fair.
Looking ahead, the council announced that all city offices will be closed on Memorial Day, May 27, with an invitation for residents to attend the Mayor's Memorial Day event at the Riverbank Community Center. The popular Food Truck Fridays will continue throughout May at the sports complex, and a request for proposals for food vendors at Jacob Myers Park is currently open.
In financial matters, the finance staff has released a request for proposals for investment advisory services aimed at optimizing the city's investment strategies while minimizing risk. Proposals are due by June 6, 2024. Additionally, updates to the online utility services application will streamline the process for residents, allowing them to submit required documents digitally.
Utility shutoffs for nonpayment, originally scheduled for May 14, have been postponed to May 21 due to scheduling conflicts. The finance team is also working on enabling online business license applications and renewals, expected to launch by June 1.
Council member Hernandez shared highlights from the Founders Day Carnival, where a dunk tank raised over $500 for the sister city program, emphasizing the community's active participation in local events and fundraisers. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the ongoing opportunities for residents to engage and support Riverbank initiatives.
