The City Council of Perris convened on September 30, 2025, to discuss various matters, including a significant proclamation honoring the Eastern Municipal Water District for its 75 years of service.

During the meeting, the council first addressed several closed session items, including potential litigation and public employee evaluations, but no reportable actions were taken.

The council members joined Knej in celebrating this achievement, underscoring the strong partnership between the city and the water district.

Following this, the Youth Advisory Committee report was introduced by Amy Reynoso, the committee's vice president for the 2025-2026 term. This segment of the meeting aimed to engage the youth in local governance and community issues.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to recognizing local organizations and fostering youth involvement in civic matters. The council's next steps will likely include continued collaboration with the Eastern Municipal Water District and further initiatives to empower the youth in Perris.
