A town hall on Tuesday, May 10 at 5:30 p.m. will give voters an opportunity to ask city officials questions and learn more about the proposition. Ward 5 Council Member Richard Fimbres will be in attendance.

The public is invited to attend the town hall either in person or online:

  • El Pueblo Senior Center multipurpose room
    • 101 W. Irvington Rd.
  • Virtual attendance on Microsoft Teams
