Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will hire Moore Iacofano Goltsman to update the city's General Plan for $1.56 million, following an 8-1 council vote with Councilmember Bates dissenting. The General Plan is the master document that controls where homes, businesses, and other development can be built throughout the city. This comprehensive review and rewrite will shape Richmond's growth and land use decisions for the next 20 years. The contract represents a significant departure from Bates' usual support for contracts, as he typically votes yes on such items.
