What happened
The council approved the Terminal One development project with environmental review and zoning change, passing 6-1 with Martinez voting no. The project requires changing zoning from commercial to planned development to allow construction.
The council supported a countywide half-percent sales tax for transportation improvements, which would add 50 cents on every $100 purchase if voters approve. The measure passed with Bates and Pimplé abstaining.
The council unanimously approved supporting a new Bay Area air quality rule targeting industrial emissions. The Rule 12-16 would reduce harmful emissions from industrial facilities in the region.
The council approved 18 routine items on consent, including extending a contract with Enterprise to rent unmarked police vehicles for $140,000 and accepting a $130,500 county contract for police to monitor probationers and parolees.
Six items were continued to future meetings, including contracts for recreation facility security with American Guard Services and hiring a dedicated prosecutor from the county district attorney's office.
