Temecula City Council inexplicably changes start time for public meetings without public input
During Tuesday night’s Temecula City Council meeting, Mayor Brenden Kalfus presented the council with a new policy, seemingly derived out of thin air, that proposed moving city council meetings to a different time of the day on Tuesdays.
After a 4-1 vote, as of July, Temecula City Council meetings will begin with closed session at 2 p.m. and open session at 3 p.m.
Meetings previously, like Tuesday’s meeting, started at 5 p.m. with a closed session, and the public open session started at 6 p.m.

Unfortunately it also highlighted some elected officials’ lack of basic understanding and inability to stay on topic, as well as several missed opportunities for coordination.
