What happened

The council rejected the sole bid for the Officer Bradley Moody Memorial Underpass and voted to seek new proposals from contractors. The decision passed 5-1, with Butt voting no.

The council approved $608,382 in additional funding for four housing programs. The money will go toward home improvement loans, affordable housing assistance, and neighborhood development projects.

The council approved two routine items on consent, including a $115,000 contract to build new restrooms at Fire Station 61 and a spending plan for a $225,000 state gang prevention grant.

The council approved combining three separate lots back into one parcel at 125-127 Western Drive in Point Richmond. The property owner had previously divided the land but now wants to merge it again.

The council received a report on wastewater treatment system infrastructure options and approved annual federal housing reports and funding plans. These items help the city comply with federal requirements and plan for sewer system upgrades.
