Gayle's Richmond City Council (RCC)
Votes, Actions, and Comments

Voted in favor of:
A proposed plan to purchase, license, install, and maintain the computer software and hardware needed to implement a new Budget Preparation and Reporting Module in the Finance Department. The current SAP System does not contain a budget module. To get one now would cost the City $500,000. The proposed system will integrate with the SAP System. The money will be obtained from the Sun Trust Lease Funds. Motion passed.

An ordinance amending Chapter 12.22 of Article XII of the Richmond Municipal Code relating to Stormwater Management and Discharge Control within the City of Richmond and authorizing staff to establish the cost recovery fees associated with the change (first reading). Motion passed.

Voted against:
The matter to consider approving proposed schedule, budget, scope of work, spending plan, and Request for Proposal (RFP) for the General Plan Update. Councilmember McLaughlin expressed concerns about a shoreline vision. Motion passed.
