Calif. Appellate Court Reinstates Municipal Services Agreement with Scotts Valley Band

The case is Parchester Village Neighborhood Council v. City of Richmond, and here is the opinion.

An excerpt:

Defendants the City of Richmond and the City Council of the City of Richmond (City) appeal the judgment granting a peremptory writ of mandate invalidating a municipal services agreement (MSA) entered into by the City and the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians of California (Tribe). The trial court concluded the City violated the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) (CEQA) when it approved the MSA. We reverse.
