What happened

The council approved 12 routine items on consent, including a $2.5 million contract to build youth soccer facilities at Shields-Reid Park. Other notable approvals included issuing a subpoena to force Chevron to provide tax audit records and accepting a $90,412 federal grant for police safety equipment.

The council met in closed session to evaluate the job performance of the City Clerk and City Attorney. No vote was recorded on this personnel matter, as required by California law for employee evaluations.

Seven items were continued to future meetings, including the city's mid-year budget adjustments and decisions about union representation for new Community Intervention Specialist positions. The council also delayed planning for Richmond's first Ciclovia car-free streets event and reviewing the police department's military equipment policy.
