What happened

The council rejected an attempt to overturn Mayor McLaughlin's decision to delay discussion of potential sites for two weeks. The motion failed 3-4, with Bates, Boozé, and Rogers voting to proceed immediately but Beckles, Butt, and McLaughlin supporting the delay.

The council approved $1 million in additional electrical repairs at Point Potrero Marine Terminal with Rosendin Electric. The original $1.6 million contract from 2023 will increase to $2.6 million after additional problems were discovered, with only Boozé voting no.

A 3-year contract for new City Attorney Bruce Goodmiller was approved, setting his salary at $16,786 per month ($201,432 annually). The council also approved $2 million in additional funding for environmental cleanup contracts with Eagle Environmental Construction and PES Environmental.

The council approved 4 appointments to city boards and commissions, with Boozé casting the only no vote. A permit for Holistic Healing Collective to operate a medical marijuana collective was approved, with Butt voting no and McLaughlin abstaining.

The council approved 2 routine items on consent, including a $28,023 increase for Fire Station 68 construction. Two contracts totaling over $4 million were continued to a future meeting.
