Senior manager Michael told the council the city will \"be doing interviews for a police recruit position\" and that the city plans to sponsor recruits through POST to become sworn officers. He also summarized a newly released countywide economic development strategy (identified in the transcript as \"SIDS\") that lists projects for Newman, including rehabilitation of the Foster Farms site, rebuilding the McBride Building into a business and job assistance center, and extending infrastructure to a future business park at Highway 33 and Jensen Road.

Michael said staff are pursuing grant funding to offset costs for implementing the housing element and to extend water and sewer lines under the railroad to connect to Jensen Road; he described the sewer extension as a small gap in infrastructure that, if filled, would support business-park development.

Public Works reported that American Pavement Systems is scheduled to begin a slurry-seal project in the northeast area near Duck Blind Circle on Aug. 11 and has until Sept. 22 to complete the work; staff said resident notifications and coordination with street sweeping and trash pickup will occur.

Parks and recreation staff reminded the council of community events: movie night (corrected in the meeting to Aug. 16) with activities starting in the late afternoon at Sherman Park and an increase in youth soccer practices at Sherman Park in August and September. Lieutenant Short of the police department announced National Night Out will be Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. at Sherman Park.

Fire Chief Bowen said the department will conduct a training burn on the coming Saturday (a short training with expected smoke), will attend back-to-school night on Aug. 2 and continues mandated fire life-safety inspections of residential apartments. The chief also noted recent community cleanup participation.

Most items reported were informational; no additional council actions or funding appropriations were recorded in the transcript for these updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025, Newman City Council Meeting, 07-22-2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff told the council they will interview police recruit candidates, outlined county economic-development goals including the Foster Farms site and a business park infrastructure gap, and reported on scheduled slurry seal work and community events including movie night, soccer practices and National Night Out.","taxTitle","Newman City, Stanislaus County, California","taxId",72156,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6508875,"Newman council declares public nuisance at 1414 Main Street; owner given about a month to remediate",236,436000,672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5450501-b367c47333cf21d8cdfdde02012c4e76&start=436&end=672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5450501-b367c47333cf21d8cdfdde02012c4e76/thumbnail_436000.jpg","/articles/6508875/Newman-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Newman-council-declares-public-nuisance-at-1414-Main-Street-owner-given-about-a-month-to-remediate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6508875-31d828c7adce6c2b26d630dc1ca51ea5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770693611&Signature=Yn1KAS0v1LpDbx3qwy2FHiSJbqqpX~wNl0jiIMK5DK8b3S4DisbB3h7qzPufVeeEQKWaWWK9z2OcUBukMnSsYaOb7f6h50S96sVrWRz16DBZNF3KKTIH3rDzptKt1fSvglUHoMQT4L5ovtRxKqii3BZxQnju9HAizcxyLYi-609px5M61TGmrRbMTCQr4iLcR7EdZzbxm0VkpiLy4yRizGCYxlZ1gKRPLTsk-waRfq80vdCVpS0nSqshu~v6mWJpmHLJqlZJK2M0LcmXthQaDnRk5umOxgyBY~b0QFZvhAb~TqMVz1H3XMOy8UT4FESL5e2EH1RQNyvrQ~nkARrjEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newman City Council on July 27 adopted a resolution declaring the property at 1414 Main Street a public nuisance under Ordinance No. 95-4 and instructed staff to proceed with abatement if the owner does not remediate the site within about a month.

City staff presented photographs showing an open basement area, deteriorated wooden flooring, a broken fence, overgrown vegetation and accumulated rubbish. A staff member told the council the conditions pose a safety hazard and that animals and people have entered the exposed area. \"This is in our alleyway...it has become a safety hazard as well,\" the staff member said while describing the images presented to council.

The staff member also said the property owner has told staff he is attempting to repair the flooring and install a chain-link fence and asked the council to continue abatement proceedings while allowing a short time for the owner to complete repairs. Staff recommended that if the property is not remediated within a month, the city will step in to clean up the site.

A motion to adopt the resolution carried 3–0, with two council members absent. The resolution was described on the agenda as declaring the existence of a public nuisance under \"Ordinance number 95-4.\" The staff presentation and the council’s action were part of a public hearing on the matter; no public speakers were recorded on the transcript.

The resolution does not list a specific dollar amount for abatement in the transcript. The council recorded the vote as \"Motion carries 3 0 with 2 absent.\"","The council adopted a resolution finding 1414 Main Street a public nuisance under Ordinance No. 95-4 and recorded a 3–0 vote with two members absent; staff presented photos showing exposed basement, broken flooring and rubbish and said the owner promised to address the condition within a month.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6508877,"Newman proclaims Aug. 3–9 National Health Center Week, honors Golden Valley Health Center",269,61000,330000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5450501-b367c47333cf21d8cdfdde02012c4e76&start=61&end=330","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5450501-b367c47333cf21d8cdfdde02012c4e76/thumbnail_61000.jpg","/articles/6508877/Newman-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Newman-proclaims-Aug-39-National-Health-Center-Week-honors-Golden-Valley-Health-Center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6508877-a33c0e95441664963eeddb0cfe7bbf98/orig.mp4?Expires=1770693611&Signature=XFiOHtFJHd4iTrQ3HsNi-GKf2o-a6Dpy75ZsnjxVobAAID~OVUEBbF7DKe4w1jfmlx-AueA1xezo68BgPYALmgNCKDxrsBTRW9-UHT3kGddqTbePrDmoEWx1N-Gv1YnV1O0a4TROoibLqmbT4lLkYD80~DP871dUNE3qS3gBr8INk~O0C5~tVAmu6288Ovd-qdeVwLqonV7bwWbUDS3rTjxom2MM3RCxA1bt9drc-B28fS55F9f45Kn9rEbALqZWlXbB3QXCtqSgGMQ758a-mUQhjBfT5FcCAW-TuNe6ZAHC7YuJsk5SlDqVmYsuQSLIWQpp78RrO4ROA4swXm4OtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Newman Mayor Casey Graham on July 27 proclaimed Aug. 3–9, 2025, as National Health Center Week and recognized Golden Valley Health Center for its service to the Central Valley.

The proclamation cited the role of community health centers in providing primary and preventive care to medically underserved communities and noted the national scope of the community health center network. Mayor Casey Graham said the City of Newman honors the centers’ mission and officially proclaimed the week on behalf of the Newman City Council.

At the ceremony, Alus Abayos, government and community affairs manager for Golden Valley Health Centers, told the council the organization has served Newman for three decades. \"We've been in the Newman community for 31 years,\" Abayos said, and described a 2004 community fundraising campaign that raised $1,600,000, including more than $500,000 from local residents and businesses, to build the clinic that opened in February 2007.

The council also noted Golden Valley Health Center’s longstanding local presence in its proclamation language, which recognizes community health centers for offering a range of services beyond primary care, including behavioral health and dentistry.

The recognition does not create any new city obligations; it is a ceremonial proclamation and an acknowledgement of Golden Valley Health Centers’ contributions to local health services.","Mayor Casey Graham proclaimed Aug. 3–9, 2025, National Health Center Week and the council recognized Golden Valley Health Center for more than five decades of local service; Golden Valley staff described the clinic’s community-funded origins and local fundraising.","actionData","errors"]
