What happened

The council voted down policy changes for the Richmond Promise college scholarship program that supports local high school graduates. The discussion was intended to guide staff on how the program should operate going forward.

The council approved unanimously a contract with National Resource Network to create a 5-year budget forecasting model for $110,000. Richmond will only pay $27,500 of the total cost, with the remainder covered by other funding sources.

Three presentations were continued to a future meeting: the Summer of Minecraft youth training program, the Love Your Block volunteering program and Kennedy Park project, and the Community Wi-Fi Project with the school district and nonprofits.
