Why This Vote Matters
The council rejected a proposal to increase the lease rate for Golden Solar Power Group by two cents per square foot, with only Councilmembers Bates and Boozé supporting the higher rate in a 5-2 vote. Golden Solar Power Group wants to lease warehouse space at Point Potrero Marine Terminal and share parking with a neighboring company, which requires updating both lease agreements. The failed motion would have made the solar company's lease more expensive than originally proposed. This rejection suggests the majority favored keeping the lease terms as initially negotiated rather than seeking additional revenue for the city.
