Rename of Cesar Chavez Community Center
Alder Weidner wants the Cesar Chavez Community Center renamed back to its original name, Douglas Park Community Center. The committee split 3-2 and deferred the item, so the name stays as is for now and the debate continues.
Juneteenth and Memorial Day parades
The Juneteenth Parade organizer says the city is charging the parade $3,150 and displacing its Lake Avenue staging area for Harbor Fest, while the Memorial Day and 4th of July parades have gone fee-free for 32 years under the same co-sponsored event ordinance.
