Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to remove outdated consultants from a list of environmental reviewers and asked staff to justify any controversial choices before presenting an updated list in May 2009. This relates to contracts approved in 2007 that allow environmental consultants to review development projects under state law, with each consultant eligible for up to $400,000 per project over three years. The motion passed with broad support in a 5-0 vote, though Councilmembers Viramontes and Lopez abstained rather than voting yes or no. This appears to be routine contract maintenance to clean up an outdated consultant roster.
