John Tanton named chair of Belvedere seawall oversight committee; vice chair also appointed
Summary
At the kickoff meeting for the Belvedere seawall stabilization oversight committee, members appointed John Tanton as chair and confirmed a staff member as vice chair. The group agreed its role is oversight and transparency—not project management—and will report to the city council.
The newly formed Belvedere Seawall Stabilization Project Oversight Committee appointed John Tanton as chair and confirmed a staff member as vice chair at its first meeting. Robert, a staff member who called the meeting, moved to appoint Tanton and offered to serve as vice chair; Tanton accepted.
Committee members emphasized that their charge is oversight and transparency rather than direct project management. Robert said the group should provide strategic touchpoints for staff and contractors and produce a report for the city council to keep the community informed: "We wanna ensure transparency on this project," he said. The committee agreed volunteers for leadership roles should be residents of the area.
The committee set out a preliminary process for bid review: after public bid opening, a smaller selection meeting will analyze unit pricing, administrative compliance and other factors, then return recommendations to the full oversight committee. A follow‑up meeting was proposed for late March to review initial bid analysis.
