Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved expanding an existing landscaping contract to add scenic pedestrian overlooks in Point Richmond. The amendment increases the city's contract with Cleary Brothers Landscape by up to $77,912 to build these viewing areas as the first phase of a larger project. Residents will get new places to enjoy views in the Point Richmond area once construction is complete. This approval allows the city to use the same contractor already working on Southside Community Park rather than going through a separate bidding process.
