WRCOG executive committee approves consent calendar; chair to convene bylaws ad hoc and Supervisor Steele requests remote meeting policy discussion

The Western Riverside Council of Governments executive committee approved its consent calendar by unanimous roll call after a motion by Perez and a second from Eric. Janice (clerk, Speaker 1) conducted the roll call and confirmed the items passed with all jurisdictions voting in the affirmative.

Chair (Speaker 2) announced plans to convene an ad hoc committee to review WRCOG’s bylaws, a required review every four years, and asked for volunteers to serve on the short, two‑meeting effort. Supervisor Steele (Speaker 14) requested that the board agendize returning the main body to full in‑person attendance (allowing committees to remain remote), noting exemptions may apply for medical or other reasons.

Member Laurie Stone (Speaker 12) reported a regional effort to synchronize traffic signals and said Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez’s AB 2307, which directs Caltrans to work with cities on adjacent overpasses and intersections, had been signed by the governor. Stone encouraged delegates to support a working group and promoted several upcoming state‑of‑the‑city events.
