Good morning, Stockton.
It’s shaping up to be a busy week at City Hall. One vote on the agenda could answer lingering questions — or raise new ones.
Stockton City Council is scheduled to consider an employment contract for a new city attorney during a meeting stacked with other items. Aaron Leathley reports that while a contract is included in the agenda, it does not identify the person being hired or list a salary. For residents following recent leadership changes, the vote adds another layer to an already active season at City Hall.
Elsewhere, forecasters are calling for a hotter than normal weekend after a mild start to March. Stockton Police have arrested a 43-year-old man accused of kidnapping a girl in the Park District. And statewide, a new poll shows no clear frontrunner in California’s crowded race for governor.
Thanks for starting your morning with us. We’ll keep you informed on the decisions and developments that affect life across Stockton.
