Why This Vote Matters

The city approved hiring DP Security to patrol Point Molate, the former Navy fuel depot on Richmond's shoreline, to prevent trespassing, theft, and vandalism at the mostly empty site. The contract includes a 30-day termination clause, giving the city flexibility to end the arrangement quickly if needed. Seven council members supported the security contract, with McLaughlin abstaining and Butt absent. This follows a bidding process that began in 2004, and the motion also clarified the status of another security company, Bajan Security, in relation to the site.
