The council approved the city's annual budget and 5-year capital spending plan for fiscal year 2019-20. Bates cast the lone dissenting vote against the budget package.

A contract amendment with surveillance technology company Vigilant Solutions was approved 5-2, with Bates and Mayor Butt voting no. The amendment included considerations for sanctuary city policies that limit how local police can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

The council approved 13 routine items on consent, including a $3.6 million budget for transportation and transit programs. Other notable items included $250,000 for Point Molate development lawsuits and a $375,985 contract with ERA Construction for Phase II crossing safety improvements.
