What happened
The council approved a $5.5 million fuel cell project at the wastewater treatment plant. Veolia Water North America would hire The DER Group for construction to generate electricity from wastewater.
The council voted to refinance affordable housing bonds to reduce debt payments, with Butt voting no and McLaughlin abstaining. The city issued bonds in the past to fund affordable housing projects and can now refinance at lower interest rates.
The council accepted multiple infrastructure improvements from Toll Brothers for their Seacliff Estates development. This included road improvements on Seacliff Drive, easements for storm drains and sewers, and a 6-foot trail easement for public access. Butt voted no on accepting the road improvements.
The council increased a contract with Swinerton by $400,000 for Hall of Justice testing and possible police relocation. The council also approved applying for a $500,000 state grant to create an Office of Violence Prevention focused on reducing juvenile crime.
