1. Police deal would tap reserves (orangecountytribune.com) — Huntington Beach officials are weighing a proposed police union contract that would boost pay 17% over three years and pull $2.7 million from city reserves. At Tuesday's council meeting, leaders will review long‑term budget impacts, including pension liabilities, reserve levels, and possible new taxes, before deciding whether to approve the deal.
2. OCVarsity's football wrap-up: Stories, scores, photos from Friday's games (ocregister.com subscription) — Huntington Beach football fans have reason to celebrate after the Oilers beat powerhouse Los Alamitos for the first time since 2012, highlighted in OCVarsity's Week 1 roundup. The package pulls together scores, photos, rankings, and standout performances from across Orange County's opening football weekend.
3. Southern California's longest multi-use trail project is more than halfway done — it will cover 110 miles from Huntington Beach to the San Bernardino National Forest (secretlosangeles.com) — A major regional trail project will eventually link Huntington Beach to the San Bernardino National Forest with 110 miles of bike, walking, and equestrian paths, over 60% of which are already complete or under construction. The Santa Ana River Trail already offers long, connected stretches in Orange County and beyond, with the latest segment opening in San Bernardino this year and more phases planned from 2027 onward.
4. Gov. Newsom Signs Law Shielding Immigration Aid Workers From Doxing Threats (sdvoice.info) — Huntington Beach–area Sen. Tony Strickland is prominently quoted opposing a new California law that shields immigration aid workers from doxing and violent threats. The measure, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, creates an address‑confidentiality program and civil penalties for publishing workers' personal information with intent to incite harm, while supporters insist it won't restrict legitimate journalism or public oversight.
