Why This Vote Matters
The council approved continuing the city's legal contract with Holland & Knight for the Miraflores housing development, with Councilmember Bates casting the lone dissenting vote. This contract, originally set at $320,000 in 2014, has grown to $520,000 through multiple amendments, though the developer pays these legal costs rather than the city. The vote was part of a broader approval of routine administrative items on the consent calendar. While this doesn't directly cost city taxpayers, it extends the legal arrangement that has been handling redevelopment issues for nearly a decade.
