Direct staff to initiate negotiations with Contra Costa County and other third parties on the site located at 23rd and Bissell

Why This Vote Matters
City staff will begin formal negotiations with Contra Costa County about using city-owned land at 23rd and Bissell for a community health center. The council voted unanimously to move forward with these talks, which could lead to Richmond getting its first health center specifically designed to serve low-income residents who currently lack access to affordable medical care. This was an early step in the process - no agreements have been made yet about the terms of using the city land or the details of the health center itself. The vote shows strong council support for exploring this partnership with the county.
