The city welcomed 21 local high school students to the Youth Commission to engage young voices in municipal government and community service projects.
Council Member Term Limits
The council debated whether to establish term limits for city council members after a community survey showed strong support, but ultimately decided against putting it on the ballot.
Protest Enforcement
Clovis cops are cracking down on adult protesters supporting student walkouts. If you show up to back the kids, you could be facing charges.
City Outlook
Clovis is wrapping up a year of big changes! We're talking major construction, political shake-ups, and even a serious crime case that's got everyone talking.
Congressional Redistricting
Get ready for some political shake-ups! A proposed change, Prop 50, might chop up a Clovis neighborhood, splitting it across three different congressional districts. This means your neighbors could end up with completely different representatives in Congress.
Ballot Proposition Opposition
Clovis city leaders are sounding the alarm about Proposition 50, saying it's a bad idea that will split the city apart. They're telling everyone to vote no.
Charter City Status
Clovis is pumping the brakes on becoming a charter city. This means the city's decision-making and how it runs things might stay the same for now, but it's a big deal for the future.
Sanctuary City Policy
Clovis wants to pass a non-sanctuary city policy, but state laws and court rulings block them from doing it. No matter what the local council decides, California's statewide mandates completely tie the city's hands on immigration enforcement.
Waste Management
Clovis is changing up its trash pickup system, and you'll need to know the new rules. Get ready for some adjustments to how you sort and dispose of your waste.
Business Dispute
A local business owner is suing Clovis for a whopping $260,000, saying traffic problems cost them big time. This lawsuit could make developers think twice about building here.
Marijuana Delivery Ban
Clovis is looking to ban weed deliveries, even though it's legal elsewhere in California. City leaders are hashing out the details, and it's sparking some debate.
Reopening Businesses
Clovis is ready to get its businesses back up and running and is asking the state for permission. This could mean your favorite local shops and restaurants might be opening their doors again soon!
Mosquito Control
Clovis is trying a bold, new tactic to fight Zika: releasing millions of male mosquitoes that can't reproduce. The idea is to cut down on the number of disease-carrying females, but it's a big experiment to see if this bug-busting plan actually works.
Cooling Center
Clovis is shifting its official cooling center to the Clovis Community Center whenever temperatures hit 105 degrees or more, complete with free water and transit. If you or someone you know needs to beat the extreme heat, this gives everyone a reliable, air-conditioned refuge.
