What happened

The council approved 21 routine items on consent, including a $4.7 million contract extension with Valley Oil Company for bulk fuel delivery and $486,300 in environmental grants to 24 local organizations.

The council voted to acknowledge receipt of the draft city budget for fiscal year 2019-20. This formal step begins the budget review process for the upcoming year.

A mini-storage facility with artist studios at 205 Cutting Boulevard was upheld after an appeal by resident Eric Whann. The council approved the project 5-0 with Myrick and Butt absent and Bates abstaining.

Discussion of four items was continued to a future meeting, including the monthly Point Molate activities report and a T-Mobile cell tower appeal at Grant Avenue.
