Wildomar Council to weigh union contracts, park construction; Planning Commission mulls extensions
Wildomar's City Council is set to consider its first labor agreements with Teamsters Local 986, award a construction contract for the 20-Acre Park, and take up several other items at its Aug. 12 meeting. The council also held a special meeting Aug. 13 to consider appointing nominees for two council districts instead of holding an election. The Planning Commission met Aug. 5 to consider time extensions for two development projects. Minutes for all three meetings have not yet been published, so no final decisions are confirmed.
