Item 14.2 Council/Authority Member
Vice Mayor Pimentel:
• First of all, thank you, Mayor and Council, for electing me. I really appreciate an opportunity like this, having lived here all my life you know, Riverbank is in my heart.
• I'm not sure how far back you go, but on the 13th, we had our Christmas parade.
What / was impressed about was the large turnout this year. I've seen a lot of families and people just wanting to be out there in fellowship. And I think that was a great opportunity to get to know your neighbor.
• I attended the Latino mixer at the DoubleTree. Thank you, Olivia, for giving Riverbank a shout out at the event. It was very organized and it was a great night.
• The Polar Plunge, I joined the Mayor and I jumped in twice and it was a good turnout as well. And I was representing the book exchange in Riverbank. It's very important that we keep this going, the little book clubs. Thank you to all that donated books in December, I appreciate that.
On January 9th, we had our first Sister City meeting for 2026. Thank you again to Timeless Real Estate for letting us use your location. And also, we want to welcome Bianca she was mentioned earlier as well. And Max he became the Vice President. And there's some exciting things coming up in 2026 with Sister City.
CC / LRA Minutes - 01/13/2026
• I will be attending the Riverbank Chamber of Commerce Installation Awards dinner coming up soon.
• And if you want to know more about Riverbank, follow me and we're in for the ride.
Councilmember Uribe:
• First, I'm looking forward to 2026 working with all of Council, working with all of Staff and everybody. And I hope we have an even better year than we did in 2025.
• The only thing / will highlight today is just going to echo what Olivia had mentioned Installation Dinner. So, the Riverbank Chamber is doing their Installation Dinner Awards for Citizen of the year, Business of the year, Youth of the year. It's happening down the street right here at Antigua. It's at 6:00 pm. / mean, you guys are about to sell out on tickets, so please get your tickets as soon as possible. Reach out to Olivia. Doors open 5:30pm and see you guys there should be a fun time.
Councilmember Fosi:
• Welcome back Happy new Year. I will say I was in Ohio and it's much warmer here and I love seeing the sun, so I'm glad to be home. • Historical Society is having their Installation Dinner and General Meeting at Perko's on Friday, February 6th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
• The Women's Club will have their first meeting this year on January 20th at Scout Hall at 6:30pm. I hope to see you there.
Councilmember Call:
• I first wanted to provide the Sierra House December day use facility stats 143 showers were had in 146 meals served in the month of December 91 of them were men and 62 were women. These numbers do represent a duplicated count between January 1st and December 31st of last year, we admitted 63 new individuals to the day use facility, admitted means they completed an intake form and received services from the day use facility at least once. • Then I just wanted to touch on the Polar Plunge. I the first year I did it, I did it for efforts towards Foster Love 209 and we were very successful with that. And this year we chose Children's Crisis Center of Stanislaus County, which is near and dear to my heart. So, we were able to raise $1,775 and it sounds like / got another $500 commitment tonight. So, I actually went to the Children's Crisis Center house to deliver the funds. And I'm touching on this because it's a County effort and it impacts all of the children within our County. But Lieutenant Conda actually took me to the house that I attended as a child, and it was the most emotional experience I've ever seen. They served 32 children. Currently during the day, they have five overnight children. So, these homes house these children overnight to keep them safe from whatever situation they're in. So, I don't think
CC / LRA Minutes - 01/13/2026
they're listening, but I just want to thank Children's Crisis Center for all that they do for our youth in the County.
Item 14.3 Mayor/Chair
