COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS AND COMMENTS  
Vice President Arias Reports and Comments. Expressed concern regarding  
the equity and consistency of parking enforcement, noting San Pablo  
appears to receive weekly citations, while other neighborhoods such as  
Tower do not. Cited impacts on working-class residents, particularly those  
working night shifts, and raised the issue in the context of policy shifts that  
waive parking requirements for new infill housing developments. Called for a  
broader policy discussion on whether the practice of citing residents during  
weekly street sweeping should continue citywide.

watch meeting with Oak Park Senior Villas residents. Thanked staff Laura,  
Ivan Lopez, and Brandon Gonzalez for organizing the event, and  
acknowledged the participation of residents in high heat conditions. Thanked  
staff from Fresno PD, City Attorney’s Office, and the Homeless Assistance  
Response Team (HART) for attending and addressing residents' questions.

as a federally recognized holiday marking the emancipation of enslaved  
people in Texas on June 19, 1865, and invited the public to the Juneteenth  
flag-raising celebration at City Hall at noon. Announced hosting of the  
annual Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project event the following day,  
with high school students from Fresno and the Valley participating in a mock  
City Council meeting to learn about civic engagement and local government  
processes.  
Councilmember Richardson Reports and Comments. Reported, on Flag
