City Council
6 p.m. Monday
Council chambers, 2nd floor, Richmond City Hall
301 N. 9th St.
The council is scheduled to formally introduce budget amendments to Avula’s FY26 budget.
Members are slated to vote on labor agreements with two bargaining units — nearly a year after City Council approved union deals with the other three.
One is the labor and trades unit, mostly made up of public utilities and public works employees. The other is the professional unit, which includes nonsupervisory and non-managerial city employees.
Councilor Reva Trammell’s proposal to lower the city’s property tax rate from $1.20 to $1.16 per $100 of assessed value is also set for a vote. Past efforts by Trammell to reduce the rate have failed.
The council is expected to vote on two special use permit requests to allow an inpatient rehab facility to be built in the city’s North Side. (2701 Garland Ave. and 2700 North Ave.)
It would replace a funeral home and temporarily house up to 25 male patients, per city documents.
The Planning Commission recommended denying the proposals after city staff recommended approving them. Multiple public comments opposing the proposal have been submitted to the city.
