Temecula Community Services Commission holds brief final meeting; minutes approved and commissioners thanked

The Temecula Community Services Commission convened its special, final meeting of the year and unanimously approved the minutes from its Nov. 10, 2025 meeting before adjourning to a farewell reception.

Dr. Ewan Hawks, who identified himself as chair, opened the meeting and welcomed special guests, including city council representation. A council member (named in the transcript as Zach Schwenk; an alternate transcription appears as "Zach Schrank") offered public comments thanking commissioners "for your service" to the city, and an additional council member (unnamed in the transcript) said "the community services to me is the heartbeat of the city," expressing gratitude and best wishes to departing commissioners.

The commission moved to the consent calendar to approve the action minutes of Nov. 10, 2025. Commissioner Castro made the motion, Vice Chair Sizemore seconded, and a roll-call vote recorded unanimous "aye" votes from Commissioners Castro, DeGraves, Kingsburg, Vice Chair Sizemore and Chair Hawkes. The chair noted the meeting set a record as the shortest at 05:05 before adjourning and inviting attendees to a reception across the hall.

Commissioner Jeff Kingsburg led the opening flag salute and the Pledge of Allegiance. A staff member conducted roll call and announced one public speaker from the City of Temecula. The meeting record shows brief remarks of thanks to staff and commissioners and no additional formal actions beyond the consent-item vote approving the Nov. 10, 2025 minutes.

The commission moved quickly from business to a farewell reception for commissioners and family members; no future agenda items or follow-up assignments were recorded in the transcript.
