What happened
The council received updates on the Seaview Drive landslide emergency that forced several residents to evacuate to hotels on January 3. Public Works also presented their mid-year budget progress report covering city streets, parks, and facilities. Both presentations drew 2 public comments each from concerned residents.
The council approved unanimously continuing virtual meetings for another 30 days under state pandemic rules. This monthly vote has been routine since October 2021 to keep meetings accessible online rather than requiring in-person attendance.
Several contract items were presented but no votes were recorded, including a $50,000 increase for the Colantuono law firm handling the PG&E franchise fee dispute. The council also reviewed extending the Castro Street homeless encampment security contract through March and a $60,259 emergency HVAC repair for the Developing Personal Resource Center.
The council discussed workers' compensation claims from 2 police officers in closed session with legal counsel. They also received routine reports on developer fees, city investments, and overtime spending from November 2022.
