This message is being sent on behalf of City Manager Laura Snideman
 
Hon. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
This is the report for the week ending March 13th, 2020.
The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17th. Closed Session begins at 5:00 P.M., followed by the Regular Meeting of the Richmond City Council at 6:30 P.M., and the agenda may be found by clicking this link: March 17th City Council Agenda.
- A special message from City Manager Laura Snideman regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates
What a challenging time this is, full of fear and uncertainty. Like so many agencies, the City of Richmond has declared a state of emergency related to COVID-19. This allows us to more efficiently organize and adjust our emergency planning and responses to changing circumstances, request additional resources through the entire emergency network that reaches to the federal government level, and for possible reimbursement for certain expenses by the state or federal governments.
Our top priorities are to:
1. Ensure our community’s health and safety
2. Ensure our community stays informed and guided with facts rather than fears
3. Engage with our community to promote healthy habits
We are working to ensure that the plans, policies, and protocols related to this virus will sustain the continuity of the City’s operations, services, and safety of city employees and the Richmond community. City emergency management personnel are in contact with Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) and the Contra Costa Office of Emergency Services. We continue to follow all guidance provided by CCHS and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to keep our community safe.
As of this writing, City facilities are currently open, but we will be practicing social distancing as much as possible and you will see some modifications in some service areas such as at public counters. City Council meetings will continue as scheduled, but we are offering additional ways to provide your input that do not require in-person attendance. All events designed for approximately 50 or more people and managed directly by the city, will be canceled through March. As this is a constantly evolving situation, we are creating a ”one-stop” page on our website for updates, and we will also distribute those updates through every means possible. Lastly, I like the reminder on the door of one of my coworkers, “Stay calm, and wash your hands.”

Ready Together! Organize your Block for Disaster Preparedness Class
We can build community and resilience at the same time and have fun doing it. Join Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Richmond for a free class called Ready Together! Organize Your Block for Disaster Preparedness.
In this 4-series class you’ll learn how to support your community to be better prepared for a disaster. After an earthquake, people will come out in the street, and by taking this class, your block will have a plan of what to do next. This investment in your time will create community and can possibly save lives!
Meeting #1: Overview & Team Size
Overview of the program
Building community on your block
Deciding the size of your team, block gathering area, & area for special needs
Discussing a block map, including gas shutoffs
Meeting #2: Connecting with Neighbors
Reviewing maps
Ideas to connect with neighbors
Identifying neighbors with special needs
Getting neighbors involved
Meeting #3: Get your Team Together
Preparing for a block meeting or party
Reviewing & distributing resources for household preparedness
Creating a contacts, teams, & special needs list
Meeting #4: Incident Command Structure
Connecting to your Neighborhood CERT
Radio training
Explaining the Incident Command Structure
Reviewing resources to get your block team trained
All people who sign-up will get a packet of resources to help their block get organized. It will include steps on how to get individualized households prepared and a block emergency toilet plan. Your block will create a map of gas shut offs, know how to support community members with special needs, and have a plan of what to do after you have made sure your family is safe. We encourage people to take this course with a household member or other neighbor.
Two cohorts are forming now:
Richmond Public Library - Community Room, 325 Civic Center Plaza
2. First Tuesdays: March 3rd, April 7th, May 5th, & June 2nd from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

If you are able to print out a flyer and share with others, that would help. Sharing this email with others or posting on social media is very much appreciated.
The Ready Together! class is taught in English. Bilingual community members are encouraged to take the course to help reach more of our community and, hopefully, some will go on to become trainers of this course. The block resources are available in English and Spanish. Please share with people in your community. We need your help to reach everyone.
CERT Richmond offers other classes including the CERT training at CERTRichmond.org.

Point Molate Mixed-Use Development Project Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) Available for Comment
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and the “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970” as amended to date, the City of Richmond Planning Division has prepared a Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for a proposed mixed-use development project (Modified Project) on the former Point Molate Navy Fuel Depot and Winehaven Historic District Site (Point Molate Site or Project Site).
The Modified Project makes certain changes in land use and intensities to the Point Molate Mixed-Use Tribal Destination Resort and Casino Project (Casino Project) and alternatives analyzed in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Point Molate Mixed-Use Tribal Destination Resort and Casino Project that was certified by the City in 2011 (2011 FEIR). These changes include, but are not limited to, the elimination of the proposed casino, increasing allowable residential units and rehabilitating the buildings that contribute to the historic Winehaven District (similar to the rehabilitation in Alternative B1 of the 2011 FEIR).
The SEIR addresses the potential physical and environmental effects of the Modified Project per the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code [PRC] section 21000, et seq., and the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations section 15000, et seq.). As the Lead Agency, the City will use the SEIR when considering discretionary approval of the Modified Project. Responsible Agencies, which are public agencies other than the City that have discretionary approval power over the Modified Project, also may rely on the SEIR prepared by the City when issuing approvals for the implementation of the Modified Project.
The Draft SEIR is available for review online at Point Molate Mixed-Use Project. Copies are also available for review at the following locations:
Richmond Public Libraries:
- Main Branch 325 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, CA 94804
