April Meeting Agenda

  • We’ll take a close look at the recently announced CalFire High Fire Severity Zone maps and discuss what they could mean for us in the years ahead.
  • Update on Dollar Tree’s compliance with the Conditional Use Permit.
  • We will take comments on the Barrett-Key traffic calming configuration, for feedback to Public Works.

Announcements

  • The event we’ve all been waiting is finally here: Dumpster Day, on Saturday, August 2nd! It’s a day for reflection on the consumerist follies of decades past. Be ready to volunteer a couple hours for a front row seat to the spectacle.
  • A marvelous retrospective exhibition for East Richmond’s own artist John Wehrle, Time & Tide, continues at the Richmond Art Center, through June 14. John’s work pokes serious fun at the environmental and cultural issues of our day, as the detail below suggests.

What We Do

The purpose of the East Richmond Neighborhood Council is to provide a forum for neighborhood residents to exchange ideas on community issues and neighborhood problems and to serve as a source of information on topics of interest before our city government and public agencies.

  • Our monthly meetings provide  forums in which neighbors can state their concerns to elected officials, agency staff,  and public safety officers.
  • This website posts the agendas and minutes of our meetings. It also offers timely information on events and other news of interest to residents— from announcements of neighborhood clean-ups to advice on forming neighborhood watch groups
  • Business owners who want to locate to East Richmond come before the neighborhood council to outline their plans and answer questions from our residents. The council can then make a recommendation to the Planning Department to permit, permit with conditions, or deny the development.
  • Similarly, if a homeowner’s remodeling plans may have impacts on neighbors, the Planning Department may ask the homeowner to present the plan to the neighborhood council, which then makes its recommendation.
  • Officers of the Neighborhood Council attend monthly meetings of the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council, a citywide organization of neighborhood councils.

There are no membership fees. All residents are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and join those working to improve the place where we live.
