  • The Mayor Shall Make an Annual Report to the City Council As to the Conditions and Affairs of the City.”
    This presentation fulfils the Charter requirement that “The Mayor shall make an annual report to the City Council as to the conditions and affairs of the City.” 1 In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, and thereby of gates, doors, doorways, passages and endings, a suitable icon for this presentation for several reasons. Janus is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus. This report has two parts: The first part describes Richmond in many different ways. The second part describes the many projects and programs that the Mayor’s Office will prioritize in the coming year. 2 First of all, I want to thank Mayor McLaughlin, the City Council, Bill Lindsay and his management team and all City employees for a great eight years. Richmond has truly changed for the better, and we want to continue the momentum. 3 I want to introduce the Mayor’s Office staff. Everyone knows Terrance Cheung who moved over from Supervisor John Gioia’s Office. David Gray, who was a City Council intern while in graduate school at Cal, recently relocated from Louisiana. And Alex Knox, a Richmond native, headed up our successful election campaign. 4 The mayor’s job description is in the City Charter. Richmond is a Council‐Manager form of government and the city manager is the City’s chief executive. The mayor does not run the city, but according the Charter, has a number of responsibilities and a staff of three to research, advocate, educate and lobby.

  • Bay Trail Richmond New Year 2021 Report
    Bay Trail Richmond New Year 2021 Report This has been an extraordinary year for the San Francisco Bay Trail in Richmond! The City of Richmond (City) completed the long-awaited Bay Trail connection with Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, and over $4 million in grant funds were secured by the City and East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) to construct new and improved sections of Bay Trail. The Bay Trail’s popularity soared as an excellent place to refresh the mind and exercise the body with adequate width for social distancing. This 22nd New Year report by TRAC, the Trails for Richmond Action Committee, describes progress during 2020 toward closing gaps and improving existing sections of the Bay Trail. The map on the last page of this report shows trail completed and gaps remaining. Richmond has 36 miles of Bay Trail in place, representing 10% of the existing 352 miles of this planned 500-mile walking and cycling path encircling San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. However, 6.0 miles of gaps remain in Richmond, despite having more Bay Trail completed than any other city in the Bay Area. Stay healthy and be well. See you on the Bay Trail! POINT PINOLE CONNECTED WITH THE BAY TRAIL The City completed construction of a two-way, multi-use trail east of Goodick Avenue between the Richmond Parkway Bay Trail and Dotson Family Marsh Staging Area. This project was funded by a $976,000 grant of Measure J gasoline tax revenues from Contra Costa Transportation Authority and $130,000 from the Bay Trail Project at the Association of Bay Area Governments.

  • Mayor and Members of the City Council
    Mayor and Members of the City Council: This is the report for the week ending May 12, 2017. 1. Meeting Notes The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 16th, beginning with Closed Session at 5:30 PM, followed by the regular meeting at 6:30 PM. The agenda may be found by clicking this link: Richmond City Council Agenda Packet. 2. Just in Time for Mother’s Day – Rosie the Osprey Becomes a Mother! As previously reported in this weekly report, and thanks to the Golden Gate Audubon Society, the San Francisco Bay area – and the world – can get an astonishing view into the life of an intrepid pair of ospreys that are nesting in Richmond, thanks to the launch of the region’s first live streaming osprey nest camera. The live video stream, viewable at http://SFBayOspreys.org, allows the world to enjoy close and personal views of an osprey pair – named Rosie and Richmond – as they raise young over the next several months. The video stream also captures the magnificent views of San Francisco Bay. There was exciting news from the nest this week, as Richmond and Rosie the Ospreys had their first chick hatch today! The little one started busting out just around midnight very early Friday morning and we got first peek at the truly hatched (emerged) chick between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. There is still one egg yet to hatch, so there might be another little bundle of bird to celebrate in just a few more days. Cindy Margulis, of the Golden Gate Audubon Society, reports that they are accepting nominations for names for the chicks, though they won't be able to guess their genders for quite a while yet.
