Mayor of Richmond

Richmond City Council voted down a proposal to install solar panels on city buildings, drawing disappointment from Mayor Danny Avula. The measure would have put solar energy systems on municipal properties, but a majority of council members declined to support it. Avula expressed disappointment with the outcome. The vote leaves the city's plans to add renewable energy to its buildings on hold for now.

Richmond's city council has voted to direct the mayor to draft an immigration 'trust policy', a move typically aimed at setting how local agencies interact with federal immigration authorities. Details of the policy's contents and timeline have not yet been released, and the measure now moves to the mayor's office for drafting before any council vote.
