Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Hemet public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Business license exemption for places of worship
Churches no longer have to register for a city business license, though zoning, building, fire, and safety rules still fully apply. A voluntary registration list may be maintained for community outreach.
Library food and drink policy
The library needs rules about what food and drinks patrons can bring in after incidents like pizza being brought in and trash left in bathroom cans. The draft allows lidded drinks and contained snacks only. Members want clearer examples of banned foods before approving.
Autumn Kickoff combined community event
The city is combining Choctober, the Fire Open House, and the police trunk event into one big Autumn Kickoff on October 10 — saving overtime and setup money and avoiding competing with other local events.
