What happened

The council approved budget balancing strategies and reviewed a 5-year financial forecast to address the city's financial challenges. The plan passed with Martinez and Willis abstaining from the vote.

The council ratified 2020 extensions of Winehaven development negotiations, allowing the developer to continue exclusive talks about the historic site. The measure passed 5-2, with Martinez and Willis voting no.

Two new city positions were created unanimously. The council established a Deputy Building Official position with salaries ranging $8,978 to $10,890 monthly and an Industrial Building Inspector role paying up to $118,368 annually.

The council approved $575 street sweeping signs for the Richmond Annex and Panhandle neighborhoods unanimously. The council also approved the 6 routine items on consent, including a $1 million annual contract for bulk fuel delivery and a $200,000 contract with Legacy Mechanical for building maintenance.

Five items were continued to a future meeting, including a $1.5 million extension of the Mark43 software contract and a controversial ballot measure to repeal rent control laws.
