Mayor and Members of the City Council:

This is the report for the week ending May 12th, 2017.

• 1. Meeting Notes

The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 16th, beginning with a 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.   They will take nominations for names, then pick a shortlist of names for a public vote on the naming contest.
 

• 3. A New and Significant Project Milestone for Richmond Ferry Service

This past Thursday, May 11th, the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) Board approved a $16 million construction contract to develop a ferry terminal at Richmond’s Sheridan Point (next to the Ford Building). Staff from the City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, and Mayor’s Office represented the City of Richmond at the board meeting.

Approving this contract is a key step to developing a fully operational ferry service between Richmond and San Francisco, targeted to begin in September 2018. In-water construction work on the terminal is scheduled to begin in August of 2017.  Renderings of the Richmond terminal can be seen below. For more information about the WETA Richmond ferry terminal and service, please visit the WETA website: https://sanfranciscobayferry.com/node/330.

• 4. City of Richmond 2017 Community Survey -- We Need your Feedback

One of the best ways to improve Richmond’s services is to ask the people that live here what they think. With this in mind, the City of Richmond is pleased to announce the 2017 Community Survey!

During the past few weeks, you may have been notified that you have been selected to give input that will help the City improve the level of government services and the future of your community. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 3,000 Richmond residents, asking them to comment on the community’s pressing needs and city services.

The purpose of the survey is to help City officials evaluate services, measure resident satisfaction with current services, and to help plan for Richmond’s future. The results from the survey will be included in a final report available to all City officials, staff, and residents. If you were selected, please return the survey before the stated deadline.

If you know someone that received one, please encourage them to fill it out and return it. Your input can help make the City of Richmond a better place to live, work, and play. Feel free to contact the City Manager’s Office with your questions at (510) 620-6512.

On Thursday, May 11th, hundreds of Richmond commuters took to their bikes to join Bike to Work Day 2017. City staff members joined local community members to staff Energizer Stations across key bicycle corridors across the community.  Energizer Stations provide snacks, refreshments, and the signature Bike to Work Day tote, filled with goodies and swags for veteran and rookie cyclists alike.

• 7. Richmond Marine Corps Veteran Receives No-Cost Solar System Installed By Local Veteran Leaders At “Solar Barn-Raising”

This past Saturday, May 6th, the City of Richmond partnered with GRID Alternatives, America’s largest non-profit solar installer, Bay Area Brave, and local veterans to support a solar job training program that installed a no-cost, rooftop solar system for a Richmond Marine Corps veteran. The GRID team and local veterans joined together to complete the project during a one-day “solar barn-raising” installation.

This installation is part of GRID Alternatives’ national Troops to Solar Initiative job training program. Troops to Solar is supported by the Wells Fargo Foundation and provides hands-on training and job connections to over 1,000 US military veterans and active service members across the country.  Bay Area Brave, an initiative showcasing the extensive contributions of military veterans to the San Francisco Bay Area community, helped recruit the installation team of veterans.

The Richmond veteran receiving the solar installation will save more than $1,600 each year on electricity bills. The veterans participating in the installation are community organizers helping to connect veteran job seekers to solar installation training with GRID to receive hands-on workforce development and a chance to join the fast-growing solar industry, which added 51,000 jobs nationally in 2016, including nearly 25,000 new jobs in California.

City staff from the City Manager’s Office and Councilmember Ben Choi attended the event on behalf of the City of Richmond. This home is part of an ongoing partnership between the City and GRID Alternatives that has now provided solar free of charge to over 200 income qualifying Richmond homeowners, and all 98 Triangle Court units. Please visit the GRID Alternatives’ Flickr to view more photos from this great event: Richmond GRID Solar May 6 Solar Event.

Additional coverage of Cinco de Mayo can be found in the Community Services highlights.

• 14. Local Students Express Gratitude for Richmond Writes! Poetry Contest

The 2017 Richmond Writes! Poetry Contest was a huge success. The numbers alone were certainly impressive -- with a total of one hundred winners, over $1,500 in gift cards, and 231 participating students from 14 WCCUSD elementary, middle, and high schools. Every student who participated had his/her poem published in the poetry book and received a copy.

The real story, though, is how those students chose to express their gratitude for being published in the 2017 Richmond Writes! poetry book. They sent over 100 “thank you” emails to Michele Seville, Arts and Culture Manager, since the Awards Ceremony on April 14th thanking the Richmond Arts and Culture Commission for sponsoring the contest.

Many thanks to Tracy La Freniere, a prep teacher who works with fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students on computer technology at Olinda and Murphy Elementary Schools, who guided students in the letter-writing effort. Here are some excerpts from those letters:

“When I saw my poem in the book, I was shocked. I showed it to my mom, and she was shocked as well. She said it is an honor to have your work published in a book that not just your family will see, but other people you do not know. Thank you so much for publishing my poem.”  - MK

“Thank you for publishing my haiku poem in the Richmond Writes 2017 book. I never had anything published that I wrote by myself. Also, I like how we get to be creative in what we are going to write. I just want to say thank you for all the work you did.”  - JK

“You helped me with my reading skills, and for letting people know more about me.” -- Z

This was the seventh year of the Richmond Writes! poetry contest, a favorite program of the Richmond Arts and Culture Commission, students, teachers and parents alike.

In collaboration with the City of Richmond, Richmond Promise, Richmond Tool Library, Richmond Trees, and World Financial Group, young adults from various schools in the area were able to learn about college, financial literacy, and about opportunities to help them become better leaders. The participants also turned their community issues and concerns into sparks for service projects. Ideas included summer programming for students who may not qualify for summer school, informative and educational movie nights that can help community building and discussions, and elementary school after-school engagement between students and seniors as a way to create compassionate companionships and teach children valuable life-skills through our seniors. Thanks to all the volunteers, students, and local organizations that helped make this Bootcamp possible!
