Why This Vote Matters

The council approved hiring First American Fund Control to manage $28.5 million in federal cleanup funds for the contaminated former Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot. The Navy allocated this money for environmental remediation, but the city needs a fiscal agent to handle the money flow between the federal government, the city, and the developer during the cleanup process. The motion passed in a divided vote, with Councilmembers Bates, Lopez, Rogers, and Viramontes supporting it, McLaughlin opposing, and Butt and Ritterman abstaining. This is an administrative step required before the environmental cleanup work can begin at the former naval site.
