Jurupa Valley leaders announced this week that they will present California Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, with a proclamation honoring his work on behalf of Riverside County’s four newest cities.

The presentation will take place Tuesday, Sept. 22 at the Jurupa Valley State of the City address at Patriot High School.

Roth worked to pass Senate Bill 107 which provides financial relief for the county’s four newest cities, particularly Jurupa Valley.

California legislators voted in 2011 to shift vehicle-license fees from cities to law enforcement programs. As a result of the shift, Jurupa Valley incurred about $18 million in debt to Riverside County. SB107 relieves that debt.

The State of the City program will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Patriot High School is located at 4355 Camino Real, Jurupa Valley.
