Members of the political group Hollister Guardians Action are gathering signatures in pursuit of a referendum to reverse the Hollister City Council’s recent adoption of its 2040 General Plan. The local activist group has until Jan. 21 to collect and submit to the city at least 2,312 valid signatures of registered voters.
Hollister took the first step toward resurrecting its once-popular motorcycle rally in 2025. The City Council unanimously authorized the city manager to negotiate a contract with promoter Roadshows, Inc., to organize the event.
On Dec. 17, the newly sworn-in Hollister City Council made committee appointments, and also approved travel expenses, for four of the five council members to attend The League of California Cities’ mayors and councilmembers academy in Sacramento.
Hollister Police Department announced it has received a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to support its ongoing enforcement and education programs to help reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths on our roads.
On Dec. 3, the Hollister City Council approved the 2040 general plan update and certified its environmental impact report amid mixed reactions from community members. The council also adopted a climate action plan and an agricultural lands preservation program.
