Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Riverside County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District Renewal
The Board renewed the lodging-business-funded marketing district that generates about $750,000 a year to promote Wine Country tourism. Nearby residents again complained they see no benefit — only traffic, parties and short-term rental problems.
Cannabis dispensary public benefit payments
A Cabazon cannabis retailer is shrinking its footprint and updating the public benefit payments it owes the county — a sign that fee structures for cannabis businesses may need adjusting countywide.
Nonprofit Capacity Building Program
County-funded training has reached 600 nonprofit professionals representing 460+ organizations, indirectly serving an estimated 500,000 residents. Supervisors asked for district-by-district participant lists.
