What happened

The council approved $110,000 for the Richmond Plunge pool restoration to its original use when reopened. This was part of one routine item approved on consent.

The council unanimously approved hiring Republic Intelligent Transportation Services for $110,000 to create a citywide street lighting master plan. The city currently lacks a comprehensive plan for its street lighting system, and the consultant will assess current lighting and create a roadmap for improvements.

The council also approved increasing the Solar Richmond contract by $20,000 to $220,000 for the job training program. Solar Richmond runs the solar installation portion of the city's RichmondBUILD program, which trains residents in solar panel installation.
