Flock surveillance camera usage by ICE and outside agencies
The police report shows 28 percent of sworn positions not fully deployable despite ten hires, and monthly audits of the Flock camera system after community concerns — one outside agency is currently suspended. Response times improved and homeless-related calls fell 19 percent.
East Beamer Street safety and conditions at Community of Hope tiny homes
Residents of the tiny home community say East Beamer and Road 102 have no sidewalks, deep potholes, and no shade — and wheelchair users risk their lives reaching a nearby store. Speakers asked for trees, benches, and street repairs, suggesting community partnerships and sponsorships to fund them.
Shopping Cart Ordinance
Woodland's city council has updated its shopping cart rules. This could mean changes for shoppers and businesses, so it's worth knowing what's new.
Street Name Change
Woodland is changing a street name to honor a local Native American tribe. This is a move to recognize the area's history and indigenous roots.
