What happened
The council voted down a ban on criminal history questions in hiring by contractors 5-2. The proposal would have prohibited Richmond contractors, subcontractors, and anyone receiving city financial aid from asking job applicants about past criminal convictions. Only Bates and Butt voted to approve the measure.
The council approved plans to coordinate a retreat for council members. Staff will present options for timing, location, and topics so the council can work on goals and priorities outside regular meetings.
