Cooler weather is upon us! Enjoy the cool temperatures outside while enjoying some of the upcoming events below, but first I want to say thank you to everyone who helped clean up the area near Maxie L. Parks Community Center this past Saturday. Some of our volunteers were our amazing youth from Edison High School Key Club and District 3 Youth Interns who collected 1,037 lbs. of trash!
I would also like to thank Assemblymember, Dr. Joaquin Arambula, for leading the Central Valley housing tour. Yesterday, City of Fresno officials had the opportunity to have a frank conversation with State Assemblymembers to discuss the obstacles we face to make housing more affordable and available for Fresno residents, who include the 26% who earn less than $25K a year and the 52% who are renters. The housing tour included different housing elements located in District 3 to show what our City is doing to support our unhoused community and working families. The tour included Hotel Fresno which is set to be completed in January 2022. This seven-story historic jewel will soon have 79 affordable housing units over ground floor office, retail, and common area space. The Monarch @ Chinatown, a four-story housing community that will create 57 affordable housing units with commercial space. We toured Poverello House to show the emergency shelter pallets and lastly, Valley Inn. This recently acquired motel in Parkway Drive has been renovated for transitional housing and it has 107 rooms (currently housing 110 people).
Now let’s talk about meetings scheduled for next week. On Thursday, October 14th there will be a regular City Council Meeting. Council agendas can be found at Fresno.PrimeGov.com/Public/Portal and are always posted the Friday before the meeting by 5:00 p.m. On Saturday, October 16th the City of Fresno will hold three public hearings regarding redistricting. Please join one of the three hearings to provide your input on where district lines should be drawn. These hearings will take place at Hoover High School, Fresno City College, and at City Hall. On Wednesday, October 27th we have a Special City Council Meeting to hear retail cannabis appeals (details below).
Lastly, I want to share with all dog owners who frequent the Roeding Dog Park that the design rendering for the new dog park relocation is here! Please check them out below and provide your feedback to our email: District3@fresno.gov or by giving our office a call at (559) 621-7832. We heard your suggestions and requests at our previous community meeting, and the PARCS Department has come up with a design. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please send us an email or give as a call.
We are eager to continue building with the entire District 3 community by sharing what is happening in Fresno, so please join us at these events.
