# City of Corona: City Council 10/21/26

The City of Corona City Council meeting on October 21, 2026, included approval of a venue management agreement with Knitting Factory Entertainment for the city-owned facility at 152 East 6th Street. The agreement totals $900,000 over five years: $100,000 is payable initially, with the remaining $800,000 expected to come from ticket and food-and-beverage sales. The operator will receive 5% of gross revenue; the city projected comparable venues could generate about $500,000 per month. Knitting Factory will assist with facility design and manage staffing, marketing, ticketing, food and beverage, and concert booking. The council approved the agreement unanimously. Council also approved the FY2027 second-phase community events cosponsorship requests, totaling $12,278 in city-provided in-kind support and fee waivers; annual requests total $26,997 against a $30,000 cap. Staff described a revised application process with first-come, first-served allocation.

The council unanimously adopted an urgency ordinance regulating outpatient medication-assisted drug treatment facilities, effective immediately, and set administrative penalties at $1,000 for a first violation, $2,000 for a second, and $5,000 for subsequent violations; the ordinance is to be enforced as a misdemeanor. The meeting also recognized the Friends of the Library for contributing more than $167,000 during FY2026, a private contribution rather than a city procurement or contract award.
