Why This Vote Matters
The council approved extending legal services with Paul Hastings until April 20, 2010, to help transfer 41 acres of Navy-owned land at Point Molate to the city. The contract extension passed with broad support in a 5-1 vote, with Councilmember Butt opposing and Vice Mayor Ritterman abstaining. This continues the city's efforts to acquire the remaining federal property for the Point Molate development project, which has already required four previous amendments to this legal contract.

Why This Vote Matters
The council rejected a proposal to extend the city's legal contract with Paul Hastings until June 30, 2010, in a divided 3-3 vote (with Vice Mayor Ritterman abstaining). This contract helps the city's lawyers work with federal officials to transfer 41 acres of Navy-owned land at Point Molate to speed up the development project. The failed motion would have been the fifth amendment to this legal agreement for the Point Molate project. Rogers and Butt's opposition marks a notable departure from their usual strong support for contract items, as both typically vote yes over 90% of the time on contracts.
