City Council Meeting - 7/1/26

The City Council meeting of Corona on July 1, 2026, included several procurement and contract-related discussions. The council reviewed and approved a professional services agreement with RSG related to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), despite public concerns about data privacy and contract transparency. The council also approved the Skyline Heights Specific Plan, a major residential development project involving 276 units, public and private parks, trail connectivity, and infrastructure improvements including water tanks and traffic signals. The developer committed to dedicating 43 acres of open space to the city as a condition of approval. Additionally, the council discussed updates to the city's solicitor regulations, focusing on permit requirements, enforcement, and fines to address aggressive solicitation and improve resident protections. Presentations from Southern California Edison on wildfire mitigation and public safety power shutoffs were also featured, highlighting infrastructure upgrades and customer support programs. Several public comments addressed contract transparency, community safety, and event planning. Motions were passed to postpone certain zoning amendments and to approve travel requests for city officials.
