Agenda preview

The council will hold a public hearing on Sanitary and Storm Fees for Fiscal Year 2026-27, alongside a related Stormwater Utility Area Agreement with the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. These items affect what residents pay for drainage and sewer service. A separate Re-Certification of the Sewer System Management Plan and an ordinance on onsite wastewater treatment systems round out the infrastructure business.

Several housing-related items appear together. The council will review a contract with Contra Costa County's CORE program for homeless outreach services, a contract with Richmond Rod and Gun Club for shooting range rental, and Contract Amendment No. 2 with Just Cities, LLC to finish the Housing Equity Roadmap. A Ciclovía Pilot Project on 23rd Street is also on the agenda.

Public safety topics include the Monthly Crime Report for May 2026, the 2025 Annual Military Equipment Use Report, and a new contract with Definitive Networks, Inc. for emergency medical data support. Closed session discussions will cover labor negotiators and existing litigation under Government Code rules.

The consent-style batch of contract and administrative items includes Contract Amendment No. 2 with iManage LLC for document management, Contract Amendment No. 4 with CSW/ST2 for landscape architecture services, and a contract with All Star Painting KD Inc. for graffiti removal on historic concrete. None of these carry a listed dollar amount in this agenda summary.

The meeting opens with proclamations honoring Richmond Emergency Communications volunteers and Richmond SOL's coaches and athletes, plus two appointments to the Richmond Youth Council. A closed session on real property and labor negotiations is scheduled alongside the open meeting.
