City Council committee and regional board reorganization
Summary
Riverside's eight standing committees and regional organization seats (like the March JPA) are being reassigned after the recent election. Because a special runoff election for Wards 2 and 4 happens November 3rd, the committee chose to keep everything as is and redo the whole roster in January 2027.
