Why This Vote Matters
The council approved a five-year lease allowing Nematode Holdings to use Terminal 4 for equipment storage and waterfront activities while providing caretaker services. The agreement will generate rental income for the city and keep the underutilized port facility active. Five members voted yes while Councilmember Martinez cast the lone opposing vote, with Councilmember Willis absent. Martinez's dissent was unusual given that council members typically approve contract items at rates above 95%.
