What happened

The council accepted $689,000 in completed road improvements on Carlson Boulevard by Bay Cities Paving and Grading. The project upgraded the road surface and infrastructure, but Bates was the lone dissenter in the 8-1 vote.

A $146,145 contract with Community Housing Development Corporation was approved unanimously for 2007 housing services. The North Richmond nonprofit will use money collected from waste facility fees to provide housing assistance in the community.

The council approved capital improvement project budgets for 2004-05 and 2005-06 to fund major infrastructure work. The budgets will pay for road repairs, park upgrades, and building improvements over the next two years.

Two new board appointments were approved, with Emile de Vera joining the Personnel Board and Mary Williams continuing on the Housing Advisory Commission. The council approved 1 routine item on consent, including a $92,500 partnership with Rosie the Riveter Trust to preserve the historic Sheet Metal Shop.
