What happened
The council approved hiring a law firm to sue Mare Island Sales for $25,000. The city attorney's office cannot handle this case, so outside lawyers will represent the city.
The council approved abandoning 6,600 square feet of South 13th Street near Wright Avenue. The land will no longer be a public street and becomes private property, with McLaughlin abstaining from the vote.
The council committed to providing local matching funds for a Maritime Child Care Facility restoration grant. The city will partner with Contra Costa County, West Contra Costa schools, and Richmond BUILD on the project, with Tom Butt abstaining.
Discussion of a grade crossing agreement with San Pablo was continued to a future meeting. The council also considered changes to development contract law for city-owned land, but no vote was recorded.
