Newark approves consent calendar; council seeks follow-up on Good City Company permitting work
Summary
Council approved the consent calendar including a contract amendment with Good City Company for planning services, while asking staff to confirm whether the firm handled permitting for a recent event at NewPark Mall.
The Newark City Council approved its consent calendar, which included an amendment to the contractual services agreement with Good City Company for professional planning and plan-check services. The council also asked staff to follow up with the vice mayor about whether Good City Company provided permitting or plan-review services for a recent service event at NewPark Mall.
Assistant City Manager Havorka and Deputy Community Development Director (name referenced for fuller response) confirmed the Good City Company contract covers planners who perform permit review and plan-check services. "Yes, so, the Good City contract, yes, it's for our planners who also do permit reviews, and other plan checks and other projects, yes," a staff representative said during the meeting.

The council approved the consent calendar by voice vote, recorded as four ayes with one member absent.
