Directed staff to use the $20,000 to assist with infrastructure maintenance needed throughout the City of Richmond

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously rejected buying new chairs for the council chambers and instead directed staff to spend the $20,000 on infrastructure maintenance throughout Richmond. Rather than purchasing 15 replacement chairs from Keilhauer furniture for council members and staff seating, the money will go toward broader city infrastructure needs. This was a routine budget reallocation that redirects funds from office furniture to general maintenance projects across the city.
