Murrieta Council to consider $360K homeless cleanup contracts, police union deals
Murrieta's City Council will vote Tuesday on a slate of items that include $360,000 in contracts for homeless encampment cleanup, new police union agreements, and budget adjustments for the Murrieta Innovation Center. The meeting is the most consequential action of the week, as the Planning Commission on Wednesday will also take up code changes and a street vacation.
