Why This Vote Matters
Richmond formally opposed the East Bay Municipal Utility District's plan to expand Pardee Reservoir, which the city believes could harm the environment or affect local water resources. The council passed the resolution with solid support in a 4-0 vote, though two members abstained and one was absent. This matters because it puts Richmond on record against the utility district's 2040 water supply plan, though the resolution itself is symbolic and doesn't prevent the expansion. Councilmembers Booze, McLaughlin, Ritterman, and Butt voted yes, while Viramontes and Bates abstained.
