Mayor Selection, Walgreens Project Vote at Tuesday's City Council Meeting

Tuesday's city council meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at City Council Chambers.

At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, the city will swear in new council members, select a mayor and vote on a Walgreen’s construction project.

The public meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. at the City Council Chambers (275 Main Street, 4th floor).

New Council members Trina Coffman-Gomez and Karina Cervantez, as well as those who were re-elected -- Lowell Hurst and Felipe Hernandez -- will be sworn in. Also, the council will select a mayor.

The Council will also vote on a construction project for a 1,500 square foot Walgreens on a stretch of Main Street now occupied with vacant lots and worn-down buildings.

Through a land swap, the San Francisco-based developer would give the city $4,500 and build a replacement parking lot for police.
