What happened
The council approved the Campus Bay mixed-use development with homes and businesses by a 4-3 vote, with Martinez, Willis, and Bates voting no. 43 residents spoke during public comment, with many raising concerns about site contamination from over 100 toxic chemicals and democratic process, urging delay until newly elected council members take office in January. Others worried about environmental and health impacts to future residents and wildlife.
The council approved 17 routine items on consent, including a $1.66 million contract with county and state agencies and $375,000 to design repairs for the Ferry Point sewer pump station. Other notable approvals included a $280,000 replacement street sweeper from Owen Equipment and $225,000 for legal services with Colantuono law firm.
Several items were continued to future meetings, including updates on the city budget and a strategic plan for the Department of Children and Youth. The council also postponed installing 575 street sweeping signs in two neighborhoods.
