RECOMMENDED ACTION:

AUTHORIZE the City Manager to develop
recommendations pertaining to the cannabis sector and
return to the City Council within 60 days for initial
discussion – Finance Department (Shasa Curl/510-620-

DISCUSSION:

Licensed cannabis businesses in the City of Richmond are facing financial challenges due to recent changes in state legislation, increased compliance costs, and ongoing market pressures such as price compression and competition from the illegal market.

These factors threaten the stability of licensed operators, reduce local tax revenues, and undermine the City’s Cannabis Equity Program objectives. Authorizing the City Manager to develop recommendations will allow staff to analyze potential strategies, such as new financial relief measures, regulatory adjustments, and equity-focused assistance, and return to the City Council with a comprehensive set of options for consideration. This approach ensures that the City can respond proactively to industry challenges while maintaining its commitment to equity and economic sustainability. Staff will return within 60 days with initial recommendations, fiscal impacts, and any necessary ordinance or resolution language for City Council discussion.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

As an enterprise fund, the Port of Richmond aims to
maximize revenue generated from its maritime assets.

The stakeholders of the SS Red Oak Victory are seeking
to relocate the vessel closer to the Rosie the
Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park to

January 6, 2026
DISCUSSION:

On August 15, 1944, construction of the SS Red Oak Victory began at Kaiser-Richmond Shipyard No. 1. The vessel was built in just 87 days. The SS Red Oak Victory is a Boulder-Class ship, built to serve as a cargo vessel during World War II. In early 1945, it transported munitions from Port Chicago to vessels operating in the Pacific Theater.

The SS Red Oak Victory Red Oak Victory is the last surviving vessel of the 747 ships of all types constructed at the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards during World War II.

In 1996, the U.S. Maritime Administration transferred ownership of the SS Red Oak Victory to the Richmond Museum Association. In 1998, the vessel was brought to the City of Richmond for use as a museum ship and as a monument to the thousands of men and women who worked diligently to build ships during a time of national crisis.

The SS Red Oak Victory is currently berthed at Basin No. 5 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. Following discussions between the Port of Richmond, the Richmond Museum Association, and Congressman John Garamendi, stakeholders are seeking to relocate the vessel to the east side of the Inner Harbor, near the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) Ferry Terminal. This relocation would place the SS Red Oak Victory in a more publicly accessible location, close to both the ferry terminal and the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park Visitor Center.

Additionally, this move would allow the Port to lease Basin No. 5 to commercial maritime users, generating additional revenue.

The new berth must be designed to accommodate the vessel’s specifications, mooring requirements, site access, utility services, environmental protection, and necessary public amenities. The Port’s initial estimate to design, permit, and construct the relocation of the SS Red Oak Victory is $16 million to $20 million (2027 dollars).

However, the cost of constructing a new dock to support the vessel remains the principal unknown. As a result, the Port issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for maritime engineers to complete the following tasks (Attachment 1):

1. Existing conditions assessment

2. Cost analysis and value engineering to identify the most cost-effective relocation option

3. Permitting pathway analysis

4. Preliminary engineering to the 15 percent (%) design level to support preparation of a Project Description for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance

The Port issued the RFP through the City BidsOnline system received two proposals, listed alphabetically:

1. Liftech Consultants, Inc., Oakland, CA

2. Moffatt & Nichol, Oakland, CA

Page 3 of 3 ends

January 6, 2026
Port staff reviewed the proposals and ranked Liftech Consultants, Inc. as the most qualified firm (Attachment 2). The Liftech proposal demonstrated their understanding of scaling the project to meet the base requirements while also designing the wharf infrastructure that could be expanded in the future to meet additional needs. With the alternative proposal, the Port was concerned about their design in relation to the size of the SS Red Oak Victory as compared to other wharf infrastructure projects.

The Port recommends awarding the contract and full scope of work to Liftech, as their proposal best aligns with the Port’s need to finalize planning for the relocation of the SS Red Oak Victory (Attachment 3).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This is a planning effort to develop a project description for review under CEQA.

SYNERGISTIC POLICIES:

City Council Goals and Priorities – Strategic Goal Area 2.5: Revitalization of the Port.

This contract will advance the Port’s planning to move the Red Oak Victory ship that will open Basin 5 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal for commercial marine businesses as well as locate the Red Oak Victory ship in a more accessible and visible location.

2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Preliminary Engineering for the SS Red Oak Victory Relocation

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Richmond , acting through the Port of Richmond , is requesting proposals from qualified engineering and environmental consultants to provide services in support of relocating the SS Red Oak Victory from its current berth at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal to a site near the Richmond WETA Ferry Terminal. This effort is in collaboration with the non-profit Red Oak Victory organization.

This RFP solicits professional services to complete:

1. An existing conditions assessment,

2. Cost analysis and value engineering to determine the least costly option to relocate the vessel,

3. A permitting pathway analysis, and

4. Preliminary engineering to the 15% level of design , to support the development of a Project Description for CEQA compliance. The City will serve as the CEQA lead agency and is responsible for completing the CEQA review. The consultant will provide technical support to the City as needed during this process.

The City reserves the right to amend the scope of work through a contract amendment to include additional services, including preparation of bridging documents and permit submittals, should the Port proceed with a design-build procurement following CEQA.

II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The SS Red Oak Victory is currently berthed at Basin N umber 5 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. The Port of Richmond intends to relocate the vessel to the east side of the Inner Harbor near the WETA ferry terminal.

The new berth must be designed to accommodate the vessel’s specifications, mooring requirements, site access, utility services, environmental protection, and necessary public amenities. A design -build delivery method is preferred to accelerate the project and reduce costs.

Attachment A illustrates a concept of the berthing requirements for the Red Oak Victory. There are two options shown. The first is the ideal condition for the Red Oak, which neither the Port nor Red Oak expect to have funding to construct. The alternative option illustrates the minimum requirements for the Red Oak.

A. Proposed Approach and Methodology by Task
Liftech’s team approach to the scope of work outlined in the RFP follows:

1. Existing Condition Analysis
The Liftech team will review existing documents and perform a site visit with the Port’s staff and stakeholders to understand the site conditions and constraints.

ENGEO will rely on existing subsurface data to characterize the subsurface condition near the proposed berthing location and provide geotechnical recommendations to support preliminary engineering, seismic design, and CEQA documentation. ENGEO has previously drilled borings in support of the Richmond Ferry Terminal to the south of the location. We also have borings north of the site in our subsurface database from work by other consultants at Terminals 2 and

3. We will request from the Port any geotechnical investigation performed in the surrounding areas, if available. The findings will be summarized in a geotechnical recommendation report to support preliminary engineering, seismic design, and CEQA documentation.

WRA will conduct a desktop review to assess sensitive environmental resources within the vicinity of the proposed project area (final mooring site). The review will include queries of environmental databases such as the National Marine and Fisheries Service (NMFS) Critical Fish Habitat Maps, United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) List of Federal Endangered and Threatened Species List, USFWS National Wetlands Inventory, California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and California Consortium of Herbaria (CCH). Potential sensitive resources will be spatially framed within the context of the proposed project location using publicly available historic and contemporary satellite aerial photographs. The findings will be summarized in a memorandum report.

Ellen Johnck will provide advice on strategies and approach to permitting assessment.

Because of Ellen’s academic and project experience in cultural resources management (CRM) planning and permitting, her advisory role will cover the state and federal historic preservation laws and regulations involved in permitting the relocation of the SS Red Oak Victory (Victory Ship), a CA Historical Resource/National Register Landmark #N2117 from Richmond Shipyard Number Three (a CA and National Register Landmark #N2095) to the new site.

Argonautics will analyze the moored vessel for design storm conditions and provide design loads.

2. Value Engineering
The purpose of value engineering is to identify viable methods to reduce the costs to moor the vessel while providing proper access and utilities. To accomplish this objective, the Liftech team will conduct a Planning and Analysis (P&A) study and discussion with the Port and stakeholders up to three iterations. Of critical importance, we will vet our design ideas with marine contractors.

Kick-off Meeting
The Liftech team will meet with the Port and stakeholders to confirm the project data and goals as outlined in the document titled: “Feasibility Assessment and Project Basis, Relocation of the SS Red Oak Victory, Port of Richmond, updated May 2025.” Our team will clarify additional project goals that need to be addressed. We will summarize our understanding in a memorandum format and distribute it to the project team as the basis for P&A studies.

Planning and Analysis – First Iteration
126

Page 2 of 4 ends

Based on information collected at the kick-off meeting, the Liftech team will develop three conceptual plans with a pro and con discussion for each concept. We will consider future modifications for development into a more comprehensive facility to serve various marine uses.

We will consider one concept as a float concept. The pro and con discussions will focus on the marine structural plan, geotechnical considerations, and permitting challenges. We will have qualitative discussion of relative cost for each option.

We will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to facilitate a working discussion with the Port’s staff and stakeholders, solicit input, and identify viable design concepts.

Planning and Analysis – Second Iteration
Based on input obtained, the Liftech team will refine concepts to two viable concepts. We will prepare conceptual cost estimates for each and prepare a pro and con comparison.

We will prepare a PowerPoint presentation to facilitate a working discussion with the Port’s staff and stakeholders, soliciting input for a preferred concept.

Planning and Analysis - Third Iteration
The Liftech team will finalize the preferred concept that will be used as a basis for project scoping for environmental permitting assessment and preliminary engineering development.

We will summarize the project basis for the preferred concept plan in a submittal to the Port and stakeholders.

3. Permitting Pathway Assessment
Following the identification of environmental constraints and potentially feasible alternatives, WRA will provide a detailed environmental permitting pathway for the proposed project. A permitting matrix will be produced detailing a proposed schedule of necessary permitting and consultation items as required by each associated agency. Agencies likely to be considered within the matrix include USACE, RWQCB, CDFW, USFWS, NMFS, and BCDC. The matrix will include proposed schedule dates for required agency coordination items such as interagency meetings (USACE pre-file notifications (RWQCB), and other necessary consultations.

Estimated timelines for the permit review and approval process will be provided within the context of each relevant agency, referencing applicable statutory deadlines where available.

Additionally, WRA will provide estimated permit application fees for each agency where applicable. Based on the most current fee schedules available, WRA will briefly consult agencies to ensure proper permit application processes are followed.

Ellen Johnck and WRA will strategize the permit application process and address the historical aspects of the vessel relocation.

4. Preliminary Engineering
We will perform conceptual engineering to size major marine structural components, such as piling, wharf deck, fenders, bollards that are required to moor the SS Red Oak Victory ship, and access from the landside to the ship. We will prepare engineering drawings with project notes outlining the design criteria and general notes. We will use the preliminary engineering drawings to prepare Class 5 rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate for the marine components. The Port will furnish the cost estimates for landside improvements.

We will estimate the dredging volume and identify additional geotechnical data needed to support the bridging documents for the final design.
127

Page 3 of 4 ends

We will develop a preliminary project description which includes proposed timing, location, equipment, minimizing measures, and best management practices for compliant implementation of the project.

5. CEQA Support
Due to the preliminary nature of the project, the preliminary project description will not be prepared with the intent of satisfying practitioner-level standards for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review but may be used for reference for the CEQA application.

We include a nominal time for responding to initial inquiries during the CEQA analysis. We exclude any time for public review. The public review effort will be performed as an optional service.

6. Project Management and Coordination
Liftech will manage subconsultant work and coordinate the work with the Port. Sugi Loni will be the lead project manager supported by Derrick Lind providing the Port two points of contact throughout the project. We will support Port staff at two virtual meetings with representatives of the Red Oak to review the concepts and one neighborhood Council meeting. The Port will prepare and lead the presentation. Liftech team will support by providing and presenting technical aspects.

7. Assumptions and Exclusions
The landside work, e.g., interface with roads and utilities, will be provided by the Port.

We believe that discussion with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) will be required.

This work is excluded and assumed to be performed in the next phase of design.

CEQA application and public comments are an exhausting process. Our scope in this proposal is limited to identify a pathway. Task 6b is assumed to be performed in the next phase of design. WRA is willing and qualified to prepare permit application packages for environmental compliance with each of the regulatory agencies identified in the Permitting Pathway Assessment. WRA would coordinate with agencies, attend required pre-file agenda items, and prepare all materials for submission of permit applications on behalf of the Port through online portals or by mail as appropriate.

Soil exploration including CPT tests and soil borings will be performed in the next phase of design.

Exclude D/B bridging documents.

Exclude CEQA and SHPO applications.

RFP – Relocation of the Red Oak Victory
2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Preliminary Engineering for the SS Red Oak Victory Relocation I. INTRODUCTION The City of Richmond, acting through the Port of Richmond, is requesting proposals from qualified engineering and environmental consultants to provide services in support of relocating the SS Red Oak Victory from its current berth at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal to a site near the Richmond WETA Ferry Terminal. This effort is in collaboration with the non-profit Red Oak Victory organization. This RFP solicits professional services to complete: 1. An existing conditions assessment, 2. Cost analysis and value engineering to determine the least costly option to relocate the vessel, 3. A permitting pathway analysis, and 4. Preliminary engineering to the 15% level of design, to support the development of a Project Description for CEQA compliance. The City will serve as the CEQA lead agency and is responsible for completing the CEQA review. The consultant will provide technical support to the City as needed during this process. The City reserves the right to amend the scope of work through a contract amendment to include additional services, including preparation of bridging documents and permit submittals, should the Port proceed with a design-build procurement following CEQA. II. PROJECT BACKGROUND The SS Red Oak Victory is currently berthed at Basin Number 5 at the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. The Port of Richmond intends to relocate the vessel to the east side of the Inner Harbor near the WETA ferry terminal. The new berth must be designed to accommodate the vessel’s specifications, mooring requirements, site access, utility services, environmental protection, and necessary public amenities. A design-build delivery method is preferred to accelerate the project and reduce costs. Attachment A illustrates a concept of the berthing requirements for the Red Oak Victory. There are two options shown. The first is the ideal condition for the Red Oak, which neither the Port nor Red Oak expect to have funding to construct. The alternative option illustrates the minimum requirements for the Red Oak. Ideally, funding would be available to construct the alternative option initially but could expand to the ideal marine structure if future funding permits. The consultant’s analysis and design must address the following key project elements: Dredging to -20 feet NAVD88 Construction of a marine structure to berth the SS Red Oak Victory Compliance with BCDC, USACE, SWRCB, and other permit requirements The Port will provide design support for the landside elements including the following elements: Shoreline access, parking, Bay Trail realignment, and stormwater treatment Water, sewer, and 480V electrical service Security fencing, lighting, and Red Oak visitor amenities The Port has an allowance of up to $300,000 for this initial task. 132

CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and indemnify the City of Richmond for any damage resulting to it from failure of either CONTRACTOR or any subcontractor to take out or maintain the required insurance policies.

Subject:

ICE-Free Zone Ordinance and Citywide Protocol
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed action will require staff time and resources for legal review, policy analysis, and preparation of a draft ordinance. At this time, no direct costs or revenue changes are anticipated, as the action is limited to
ordinance development rather than implementation.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:

An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Richmond Limiting the Use of City Resources for Federal
Immigration Enforcement - March 25, 2025, Ordinance
No. 29-90 and Ordinance No. 12-18

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Recent national developments, including increased
federal immigration enforcement actions and National
Guard deployments in civilian contexts, have raised
concerns about the use of local government resources
and property for federal civil immigration enforcement.

While the Richmond Municipal Code already includes
limitations on the use of City resources and property to assist with federal immigration efforts and the City has already established an encounter protocol, additional
clarity, preparedness, and operational guidance are
needed to ensure City facilities, staff, and residents are protected and informed.

The proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) Free Zone Ordinance would formally
prohibit the use of City-owned or City-controlled property AGENDA

framework. This action is intended to promote public
trust, and ensure that residents receive timely, accurate information during emergency or enforcement-related
events
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

DIRECT the City Manager and City Attorney to report to
the City Council on March 3, 2026, regarding the City’s ongoing and planned efforts related to federal civil
immigration enforcement actions, including ICE raids,
and to return within 45 days with a proposed ICE-Free
Zone Ordinance: The proposed ordinance shall restrict
the use of City-owned or City-controlled property,
facilities, personnel, and resources for federal civil
immigration enforcement; establish non-cooperation and
resource-denial policies consistent with applicable law; and require the development of a coordinated
implementation strategy, including interdepartmental
protocols, staff training, and a community-facing
preparedness and communications plan -
Councilmember Claudia Jimenez (510-620-6565)/Vice
Mayor Doria Robinson (510-620-6568).

DISCUSSION:

Richmond Municipal Code Chapter 2.30 prohibits the use of City property to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law, among other things. However, recent events in other jurisdictions—including National Guard deployments in Minneapolis and curfews imposed in Los Angeles—highlight the need for enhanced local preparedness, clear operational boundaries, and proactive communication.

Cities such as Chicago have implemented U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-Free Zone policies that include clear signage on City property, physical access controls, and reporting requirements when federal immigration enforcement attempts to use municipal facilities. These measures provide clarity to City staff, residents, and federal agencies alike.

ICE Free Zone Ordinance
The proposed ordinance would prohibit City-owned or City-controlled property from being used for federal civil immigration enforcement purposes. City departments would be directed to identify all applicable properties, install signage stating that such property may not be used for immigration enforcement, and implement access controls where 169

feasible. Any attempted use of City property for immigration enforcement would be immediately reported to the City Manager, Mayor’s Office, and City Attorney.

Non-Cooperation and Resource Denial
Consistent with existing law, the ordinance would clarify that City employees and resources may not be used to assist federal civil immigration enforcement beyond what is legally required. This includes refusing deputization, denying logistical support, and limiting cooperation with National Guard units unless explicitly authorized by law.

Community Preparedness and Emergency Planning
Given Richmond’s limited hospital capacity, the City would explore readiness of libraries, recreation centers, and community centers to serve as emergency shelters or clinics during protests, natural disasters, pandemics, or other emergencies. City staff would also pursue coordination with healthcare providers, labor unions, and volunteer networks to build emergency medical capacity.

Neighborhood-based preparedness strategies would be emphasized, including block- by-block planning, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) participation, and distribution of preparedness packets with emergency contacts, immigrant defense resources, unhoused services, food distribution, rental assistance, and Red Cross information.

Communications and Public Information
The ordinance would direct the City to establish clear communications protocols, including rapid public notifications in the event of ICE activity or National Guard presence within Richmond. This may include investment in a city-wide text alert system, multilingual materials, press releases, coordination with local media, and outreach through faith-based organizations, schools, and businesses.

ACTION:

None

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

Housing stability is a foundational condition for
community health, racial equity, and economic security in the City of Richmond. In recent years, the increased
acquisition of single-family and small-scale residential properties by corporate and institutional investors has reduced opportunities for homeownership, increased
displacement pressures, and contributed to rising
housing costs.

February 3, 2026

DISCUSSION:

Richmond has long articulated a commitment to housing as a human right and has adopted policies aimed at tenant protections, anti-displacement measures, and community stability. In some areas throughout the country, speculative investment in residential real estate—particularly by large corporate entities and absentee owners— continues to exacerbate housing insecurity and undermine community control of land.

Municipalities across the country are exploring regulatory approaches to curb speculative land acquisition and prioritize resident, nonprofit, cooperative, and community-centered ownership models. The purported rationale behind this movement is that bulk acquisition of homes by investment entities is associated with higher rents, reduced maintenance, increased evictions, and diminished pathways to intergenerational wealth for working-class households and communities of color
