Who Needs City Council? Administration Does What It Wants

2013 April 1 - Special Meeting of Richmond City Council - Ord. 2013-77 - Richmond, Virginia from Silver.

Meeting started at 5:54 PM. All Council Members were present except Reva Trammell [8th District].

Council spent the entire special meeting discussing Ord. 2013-77-45. City Council approval is required for all leases. As it turns out, the administration vacated a couple of city departments from the 3600 Center on W. Broad Street over the weekend and moved them into the Theater Row Building at 8th & Broad which is owned and managed by the Richmond Redevelopment & Housing Authority [RRHA] without a lease or even consulting City Council.
