Tuesday’s agenda

The council will consider a contract with Liftech Consultants, Inc. for planning and design services to relocate the SS Red Oak Victory, the historic World War II ship. This major maritime heritage project involves moving the vessel to a new location.

Two significant housing initiatives are on the agenda: a grant agreement with Hope Solutions for transitional housing services and authorization to apply for an AHSC grant for the Riveter Project with transportation improvements. Both items address the city's ongoing affordable housing efforts.

Several contract amendments will be voted on, including Amendment No. 3 with Charleston Mobility for electric bikeshare operations and Amendment No. 4 with Pogo Park for the Harbour-8 Park expansion and management. The council will also consider a contract with Unity Courier Services for library material delivery.

The council will hear a presentation on earthquake preparedness from UC Berkeley scientists and community partners, focusing on public safety and disaster readiness. Additionally, the agenda includes opposition to proposed CO2 waste dumping projects and pipelines in Richmond and surrounding counties.

Closed sessions on labor negotiations and real property matters are also scheduled, along with multiple proclamations recognizing heritage months and community awareness campaigns.
