Human Relations Commission Regular Meeting - 10-28-2026 - City of Vallejo

The City of Vallejo Human Relations Commission’s regular meeting on October 28, 2026, included the oath of office for a new commissioner, recognition of members, approval of the agenda and minutes, and election of Commissioner Maderas as chair. Members discussed community outreach, youth programs, homelessness, police training, and a work plan that had been approved by the commission but still needed to be scheduled for City Council consideration. The commission established three subcommittees: Community Engagement and Outreach, Housing and Vulnerable Populations, and Public Safety and Equity. Members also supported sharing information at community events and requested that a domestic-violence-awareness initiative be brought forward for future discussion; a presentation from the Cleo Navigation Center is to be rescheduled.

The Vice Mayor reported that City Council had approved $70,000 the previous evening for the warming-center program at the Cleo Navigation Center, operating November 1 through March 30, with meals, transportation, and other services. The commission also discussed its existing $1,000 budget, including possible brochure-related expenses, and noted that any additional budget requests could be included with the work plan for Council consideration. No RFPs, contract awards, vendor selections, or other specific procurement actions were identified.
