Topics getting the most attention in San Bernardino public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Immigration enforcement resolutions (Items 17 & 18)
Roughly a dozen speakers from CHIRLA, PEOC, the ACLU-adjacent community, and San Bernardino Community Service Center urged the council to bring forward a pro-immigrant resolution developed with community organizations, citing fear from ICE enforcement activity near schools and hospitals. No resolution was on this agenda.
General Plan 2050 update
The city's first comprehensive plan update since 2005 is nearly done. It projects about 36,000 new homes and 60,000 jobs over 25 years, simplifies zoning categories, and adds an environmental justice element. Public review starts around June 1; adoption hearings are expected in the fall.
