Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will continue paying $100,000 annually to have a county prosecutor work exclusively on local crimes in the city. The agreement with the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office keeps one deputy district attorney stationed in Richmond to focus on neighborhood-level criminal issues and coordinate directly with Richmond police. The council approved the one-year contract renewal with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with Vice Mayor Bates dissenting. This continues an existing program rather than creating a new service.
