Authorize staff to work with the Anchor Program

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously authorized city staff to work with the Anchor Program to identify available dock space for a one-year trial expansion. The Anchor Program trains Richmond residents for maritime jobs but currently lacks the dock facilities needed to provide hands-on training that leads to waterfront employment. Staff will now scout city-owned dock locations that could accommodate the program's practical training components. This decision could open up more job training opportunities for residents seeking careers in Richmond's maritime industry.
