Approve second contract amendment with Environmental Science Associates
6 to 2
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. This study is required before the city can decide whether to permit the project, and the contractor needed additional authorization to finish the work. 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.
