Why This Vote Matters
The council approved a second contract amendment with Environmental Science Associates to complete an environmental impact study of Chevron's proposed hydrogen facility.

The council voted 6-2 in favor, with Councilmembers Butt and McLaughlin dissenting. The amendment allows the environmental review process to move forward, bringing the city closer to making a final decision on whether Chevron can build the hydrogen facility.
