Assemblymember Harbidian led the tribute to Kranwinkel, a dedicated volunteer and activist who significantly impacted the Pasadena community.

Kranwinkel, a distinguished lawyer who clerked for Chief Justice Earl Warren, was celebrated for his relentless commitment to public service. His work with the Arroyo Foundation focused on restoring native habitats and enhancing public access to the San Gabriel Valley’s natural beauty. Assemblymember Harbidian highlighted Kranwinkel's tenacity, stating, "Doug would always find a way to get things done," emphasizing his ability to overcome challenges for the betterment of the community.

As the session progressed, members were reminded of the upcoming schedule, including check-in sessions on June 17 and 18, followed by a floor session on June 19 at 9 AM. The Assembly concluded the meeting with a motion to adjourn, ensuring that Kranwinkel's contributions would be remembered and honored in the journal of the Assembly.
