Garden Grove City Council approves new construction hours and supports community food drive

During the recent City Council meeting in Garden Grove, significant discussions centered around construction regulations and community initiatives, reflecting the council's commitment to improving local quality of life.

One of the key decisions made was the adjustment of construction hours. The council voted to change the permitted construction hours to 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturdays, with no construction allowed on Sundays or federal holidays. This change aims to minimize disturbances for residents while ensuring that necessary construction work can proceed efficiently. The motion passed with six votes in favor, highlighting a unified approach among council members.

Additionally, the council awarded a contract to RJ Noble Company for the 2025 Various Streets Rehabilitation Project and the 2025 Five-Year Landscape and Irrigation Maintenance Project. Despite a minor issue involving a subcontractor, council members expressed confidence in RJ Noble's ability to resolve the matter and deliver quality work. The contract approval also received unanimous support, indicating trust in the company's past performance in the community.

In a more community-focused segment, the council highlighted the efforts of Santiago High School's athletic department, which organized a food drive that successfully served over 100 families in need. This initiative showcased the strong community spirit and collaboration among local residents, students, and alumni. The council emphasized the importance of such efforts and announced plans for future fundraising activities to support ongoing community assistance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's dedication to enhancing the quality of life in Garden Grove through thoughtful regulation and active community engagement. As the council continues to address both infrastructure and social needs, residents can anticipate further developments in these areas.
