  • N E W S Release Office of Richmond Mayor Tom Butt
    N E W S Release Office of Richmond Mayor Tom Butt Contact: For Immediate Release Terrance Cheung – Chief of Staff November 12, 2015 Office 510‐620‐6502 Cell 415‐990‐2087 Statement from Richmond Mayor Tom Butt Regarding State’s Decision to Reject Contra Costa County’s Proposal to Expand the West County Detention Facility Richmond Mayor Tom Butt issued the following statement today in response to the California Board of State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) announcement awarding the top four large California counties that applied for jail construction grants through SB 863. Although Contra Costa County had submitted an $80 million grant to expand the West County Detention Facility, which is located within the City of Richmond, the BSCC ultimately decided to approve applications for San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Ventura Counties but not for Contra Costa County. “We supported the expressed intent of the application, which was to provide expanded mental health, education and re-entry services,” said Mayor Tom Butt. “However, the Sheriff’s Office failed to provide a plan of how these programs would be funded at a cost of $4 to $5 million annually and a commitment to permanently close down unneeded facilities in Martinez.” This past August, the Richmond City Council adopted a resolution officially opposing the jail expansion proposal and took legal action challenging the County’s Environmental Impact Report. “The project on its face was simply a major expansion,” said Mayor Butt. “It would have made the West County Detention Facility, by far, the largest jail in the County.” The Sheriff’s Office manages the county’s three detention facilities.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, January 11, 2010 Cactus League Expands From
    A’s News Clips, Monday, January 11, 2010 Cactus League expands from humble roots Reds latest team to move spring headquarters to Arizona By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com 1/10/2010 Robert Brinton first sold the Cactus League program when he was 6 years old. Fifty-eight years later, Brinton has bought into the program, too. As president of the Cactus League, he has watched the Arizona Spring Training league evolve into a baseball power that rivals its older East Coast counterpart, the Grapefruit League. There will be 15 teams training in Florida's Grapefruit League when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training on Feb. 18, and with the recent arrival of the Cincinnati Reds in Goodyear, Ariz., 15 teams will now train in Arizona. "We were down to seven teams in the early '90s and my vision was to see if we can get 10 teams here," said Brinton, who lives in Mesa. "To end up with 15 teams shows the hard work of many people working together over the years. It's been more successful than we could have ever dreamed." The leagues have come a long way. The Cactus League started in 1946 with the Cleveland Indians in Tucson and the New York Giants in Phoenix. The Grapefruit League started in 1908 with an exhibition game between the Reds and the St. Petersburg Saints. The Chicago Cubs were the first team to train in Florida when they arrived in 1913. When the Cubs became the third team in the Cactus League in 1952, Brinton was a boy who wanted to be ballplayer when he grew up.

    RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, June 2, 2020 The Richmond City Council Evening Open Session was called to order at 5:02 p.m. by Mayor Thomas K. Butt via teleconference. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Contra Costa County and Governor Gavin Newsom issued multiple orders requiring sheltering in place, social distancing, and reduction of person-to-person contact. (See, for example, March 31, 2020, County Order extending the shelter-in-place order until May 3, 2020, and March 19, 2020, statewide shelter-in-place order). Accordingly, Governor Gavin Newsom issued executive orders that allowed cities to hold public meetings via teleconferencing (Executive Order N-29-20). DUE TO THE SHELTER IN PLACE ORDERS, attendance at the City of Richmond City Council meeting was limited to Councilmembers, essential City of Richmond staff, and members of the news media. Public comment was confined to items appearing on the agenda and was limited to the methods provided below. Consistent with Executive Order N-29-20, this meeting utilized teleconferencing only.

  • Idle Fremont Plant Gears up for Tesla
    By PUI-WING TAM FREMONT—Inside the cavernous automobile factory here once known as New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. or Nummi, equipment stands idle and the lights are off. Only at the southern end of the 5.5-million-square-foot facility are there signs of activity. That's where large crates—each holding a piece of a hydraulic press that stamps metal—have rolled in, having made their way from the Detroit area to Silicon Valley over the past few weeks. Those pieces will be put together over the next few months so that in 2012, the factory's new owner, Tesla Motors Inc., can begin producing an electric-powered sedan, the Model S. "We used trucks and railcars" to move the press in, says Gilbert Passin, Tesla's vice president of manufacturing. The crates are just one sign of how electric-car maker Tesla is starting to gear up at Nummi, the onetime joint venture between General Motors Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. that was shuttered in April following the recession. Tesla, which snapped up the site in May for $42 million, formally took over the factory on Oct. 19 and intends to hold an opening ceremony later this month. Tailoring the facility to fit Tesla's needs is an enormous task, however. While the company is keeping some existing Nummi equipment and systems, Tesla says it still needs to recruit and train 500 people, modify machines, bring in new gear and sign up suppliers for the factory over the next year. The Palo Alto-based company intends to initially produce 10,000 Model S vehicles a year at the site, increasing that to 20,000 cars annually over time.
