Hold the item over to a future meeting until a comprehensive deal with the City of Berkeley was reached that guaranteed Richmond access to the Gilman Sports Fields

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously postponed a decision on contributing $45,000 toward replacing worn artificial turf at Gilman Sports Fields. Instead of approving the funding, they voted to delay until Richmond can negotiate a broader agreement with Berkeley that guarantees Richmond residents continued access to these shared sports facilities. This means the turf replacement project, needed for safety reasons after 8 years of heavy use, will remain on hold while the cities work out access terms. The delay affects when local sports teams and residents can use updated, safer playing surfaces.
