Why This Vote Matters
The council postponed a decision on whether to put an advisory measure about North Shoreline development on the November 2010 ballot. The measure would have asked Richmond voters if they support allowing small shops and recreational facilities in the North Shoreline area, which could then be added to the city's master development plan. The motion to table passed with modest support, with Councilmembers Butt and McLaughlin voting against the delay and Rogers abstaining. By tabling the item, the council avoided making an immediate decision on whether residents should have a say in the area's future development.
