The Village of Santa Clara held a regular meeting April 24, 2025. Mayor Arnold Lopez called the meeting to order. Trustees Olga Amador, Peter Erickson, and Ralph Trujillo attended. Mayor Pro Tem Albert Esparza didn't attend.
The council approved the agenda, past meeting minutes and department head reports.
Mayor's report
Lopez said the little restaurant had opened and it had been a long time coming. Eventually they will have a grand opening, and a date would be announced later. All of the projects for the village have been on track, but they have had some holdups for whatever reason such as permits.
