What happened
The council approved 22 routine items on consent, including a $669,700 contract amendment with Tri-Tech for Via Verdi landslide repair design. Other notable approvals included $140,000 to replace the roof at the Community Services Child Care Center and $90,000 for emergency Harbour Way South road repairs.
The council approved unanimously a resolution supporting LGBTQ civil rights protections under Title IX. The resolution formally declares the city's support for federal protections that prevent discrimination against LGBTQ students and employees in schools and workplaces.
New zoning rules for school construction were approved unanimously. The changes will allow schools to be built in more areas throughout Richmond and create new design requirements for school buildings.
The council also approved unanimously exempting wastewater and stormwater projects from city design rules. These projects will now follow state regulations under Senate Bill guidelines instead of local requirements.
Discussion of several zoning items was continued to a future meeting, including updates to match the city's General Plan and rezoning the Northshore area for new development types.
