Agenda preview

The council will consider a $390,000 contract with NV5 Environmental for Marina Bay toxic cleanup reporting. This work covers contaminated soil and groundwater the state requires the city to monitor. The current contract is ending, so this keeps the cleanup on track.

A $263,400 contract with Ramboll Americas is on the agenda to monitor Chevron refinery permit compliance. The city must check each year that the refinery follows its 2014 modernization permit. This is the third time in six months the council has taken up Marina Bay environmental work.

The Housing Equity Roadmap returns for the third time in 12 months. The council will decide on a $209,994 contract extension with Just Cities, LLC to finish the plan required by state law. The current contract expires soon and the work is not done.

A $790,693 grant from Caltrans would fund planning for the Richmond Greenway Gap Closure. The city adds $90,693 from Measure J to cover the rest. This is the third time in 12 months the council has taken up a Greenway item.

The 23rd Street Ciclovía pilot project is back for the third time in 12 months. The council will decide whether to make the temporary car-free street event a priority. Staff need direction on how it fits with existing traffic safety work.
