The Berkeley City Council meets tonight to confirm the November election results.
The regular meeting at 6 p.m. includes the swearing in of newly elected and re-elected officials.
Otherwise, it's a very short agenda with just one action item: a proposal from Cecilia Lunaparra regarding bicycle and pedestrian access on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
Notable public safety items on the consent calendar include a nearly $1 million contract for the Sacramento Street Pedestrian Safety Project and proposed updates to parking ticket fines following changes in state law that make it illegal to park within 20 feet of corners even if there's no red curb.
Also: We had some questions today about a helicopter that was circling Berkeley before noon.
BPD said there were no significant police calls at that time. Our friends at X feed Scanner Pacific said the helicopter belongs to ABC7.
