Development News from the latest meeting
City of Calexico, CA - Regular City Council Meeting - July 15th, 2026
Published: Jul 15, 2026
City Council Postpones Meeting Date Change Decision Amidst Data Center Ordinance Concerns
The council discussed a proposal to cancel the regular city council meeting on September 26th and reschedule it for September 15th to accommodate council members and staff attending the League of Cities event on the 23rd and a San Diego Football Club game. A key concern raised was the potential delay in the second reading and approval of the data center ban ordinance, which requires a regular meeting and would be significantly delayed if the September 16th meeting (the next regular meeting after the first reading) is canceled. Legal counsel confirmed that the data center ordinance requires a regular meeting for its second reading, not a special meeting. Due to this conflict, the council decided against canceling the September 16th meeting and will proceed with the regular schedule.
City Council Debates and Votes on Amendment to Commission Member Removal Process
The council considered an amendment to Municipal Code Section 2.19.020 concerning the vacancy and removal of city commission members. The proposed amendment aims to establish a clearer process for the city council to consider removing appointed commission members when appropriate. While supporters believe it enhances transparency and accountability, opponents argue it could be used to silence commissioners and that the current code already provides for removals in cases of absenteeism or ethics violations. The amendment passed, with a future date to be set for discussion and potential action.
City Council Prioritizes Park Improvements and Development
The council discussed and approved moving forward with a plan to prioritize and finish city parks. A key focus will be on opening at least one park with restrooms and adequate facilities, potentially starting with Rodriguez Park, which has pending ARPA funding. The process for selecting parks and prioritizing improvements will be developed with input from public works and the community. Additionally, the city plans to install irrigation systems and maintain donated trees.
City Approves Funding and Locations for Ninth Cycle of Community Mural Projects
The council discussed and approved the upcoming Community Mural Project Cycle 9, allocating up to $29,000 for the initiative. The program aims to fund three mural projects at various locations, including Crit Park restrooms, Guttierez Park, and Casitas Park, with the possibility for artists to propose their own approved locations. Funds will come from the Art in Public Places impact fee. The selection process involves recommendations from the parks commission and final approval by the council. Concerns were raised about the selection of specific locations, with a motion ultimately approving Crit Park restrooms, Rodriguez Park, and the restrooms at Nos Park, while removing private property locations and Daniel V. Guttierez Park, and replacing it with the Nos Park restrooms. The budget was adjusted to $38,000 to accommodate the changes.
