What happened

The council rejected an extension for the Point Molate development agreement with Upstream Point Molate LLC. The agreement for developing the former naval shipyard site was set to expire and needed extension through April 2010.

The council extended the ban on new medical marijuana dispensaries until January 2011, approved 5-1 with Tom Bates voting no. The temporary prohibition prevents new dispensary applications from opening anywhere in Richmond.

The council approved a $150,000 contract with the Richmond Police Activities League for gang intervention services through the Office of Neighborhood Safety. The council also accepted a $35,000 grant from the East Bay Community Foundation for neighborhood safety outreach programs.

The council approved 7 routine items on consent, including a $599,679 contract with Harris Corporation for 800MHz radio system maintenance and applying for a $135,000 state grant for Richmond Plunge improvements. The council also contracted with Morgan Fence to install security fencing around problem properties and reappointed three members to housing and arts commissions.
