Councilmember Bang asked how an item scheduled for consent could be moved to a future meeting and whether the interim city manager had the authority to do so. The city attorney and other councilmembers confirmed on the record that the interim city manager exercised that authority and that the practice is provided for in council procedures or city code. Councilmember Bang and others asked that the record reflect the action; Bang said she wanted a public explanation for constituents.

Public commenters raised concerns about the timing and visibility of agenda changes and about posting practices. Keyon Bliss urged the council to publish a memo clarifying whether an unelected interim city manager can remove a legislative item from the agenda and called for clearer posting and notification practices, saying some items were posted in a less-visible place on the city website during council recess.

Councilmembers said they would follow up to ensure transparency. One councilmember said the city attorney had confirmed the interim city manager's authority and that they would circulate a memo to the council and the public to explain the process.

The discussion did not change the withdrawn item's status but recorded the councils interpretation of existing procedure and included a request from the public for a formal written clarification of the rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Sacramento - 2:00 PM City Council [Supplemental Material - Updated 07/22/2025 @ 11:55 AM] - Jul 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After an interim city manager removed a consent item (item 11) from the agenda, councilmembers and the city attorney confirmed that authority exists in city procedure; public commenters and at least one councilmember asked for clearer notification and a memo to improve transparency.","taxTitle","Sacramento , Sacramento County, California","taxId",2896,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6654779,"Council proclaims July as Parks and Recreation Month, praises YPSI staff and programs",394,123000,517000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0&start=123&end=517","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0/thumbnail_123000.jpg","/articles/6654779/Sacramento/Sacramento-County/California/Council-proclaims-July-as-Parks-and-Recreation-Month-praises-YPSI-staff-and-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6654779-f7d38ddecf6be42c85599c7093662f76/orig.mp4?Expires=1770569989&Signature=N4ZCVSh~1sGKuGX2k0hq63Sdvkj7KroPJD3z~ShPFzh9ATlupP3nzlIFbrh3zS58U5LcMLybyBK2R0ABeNSWX-5xfe6IzgaJZv6jAV4iDs~B9vZNg~Ew5wI6hOqiWdhWfuWK1hNPEw4QLYxiPBlSjw0FdJS9awvOcL82biicjwThocyzhbyaXLximdfZgnvvYM1RJK0FE4F9958F0gyqDFNhblu-mQO8IW-WUCnnhDShiz4~yt~uAYpnO1qofbMkXbCcU5U4yylS9S-BPBKUGjH5UsrdOw1xx3wCYf0k~vWwDM5quqyRUunnn4m0RIB-rVYMj0mmA0Qx1Sg-CYfLsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sacramento City Council presented a resolution recognizing July as Parks and Recreation Month and honored the citys Youth, Parks and Community Engagement department (YPSI) for its programs and staff.

Councilmember Vang and Councilmember Kaplan co-sponsored the resolution and called up department leadership to accept the recognition. Vang noted the department's role in providing recreational opportunities for families who may not travel outside the city and highlighted parks as community \"gems.\" Kaplan thanked YPSI staff and said the department's 2024 recognition as a top training provider by the American Red Cross reflected the city's investment in lifesaving aquatic training.

Jackie (identified in the meeting as the parks director) described the department's scope: serving hundreds of thousands of residents across \"over 230 parks and parkways, trails, and open spaces,\" operating 15 community centers and 17 pools, and employing more than 1,600 staff. \"We serve hundreds of thousands of residents of all ages and abilities and backgrounds every day through our parks and recreation system,\" Jackie said.

Councilmembers applauded the department for tree-planting, youth programming, summer camps and maintenance work. Council presented a resolution to YPSI leadership and thanked staff for their service to neighborhoods across the city.

The recognition is ceremonial and does not commit new funding, but councilmembers used the moment to highlight ongoing investments and upcoming programs run by YPSI.","The council presented a resolution recognizing July as Parks and Recreation Month and commended the city's Youth, Parks and Community Engagement (YPSI) staff for services including parks, community centers and youth training programs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6654784,"Council approves Del Paso Boulevard sewer and drainage work tied to SACOG \"Green Means Go\" funding; resident raises procurement concerns",406,850000,1256000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0&start=850&end=1256","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0/thumbnail_850000.jpg","/articles/6654784/Sacramento/Sacramento-County/California/Council-approves-Del-Paso-Boulevard-sewer-and-drainage-work-tied-to-SACOG-Green-Means-Go-funding-resident-raises-procurement-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6654784-9d38aa8d24e77ab15bb47f6fcb3e1f3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770569989&Signature=EWXohfx8d8GRtAroKrcpNGae6~JPnsfKUSsJAXzFK~yXv~uMNiOCPf6FgozqvLegZZgQ8A9E5gN5CMtjyiFpDQUjZ30TKVUX21QRKktm7nGrWK256glcH81hheO0-Gfa5UliUtClOIGmssH1sI93c1wnpEACuEjHijfzIDtHbJIY5tt4-rLEjekzaaIDnAqBwr7Rlse3B4nGh4ME4AM5Ygh1n2IgIc-QVY-T5p2vW6qoqqlt3z-C018dPx14g59nxl40xr4L3dk2u-hkzwNCn7eIkpxgz7BUNEi5enXbSaaVtLhYZ~ZUQbGX~a-02VvP46TY7FQan-c7ez5fjEFP0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sacramento City Council approved a consent item to proceed with sewer and drainage work on Del Paso Boulevard linked to Green Means Go funding from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). Council discussion described the work as essential preparation for planned public and private reinvestment along the corridor.

Councilmember Dickinson called the item \"not flashy\" but essential, saying the infrastructure work is a necessary predicate for future development. \"This is the kind of work that has to be done as a predicate to seeing those things that we'd like to have rise out of the ground,\" Dickinson said, and thanked staff for securing Green Means Go investment for the Del Paso Boulevard area.

A public commenter, identified as Lambert, criticized what he said were no-bid or suspended-bid contracts and expressed concern the work would not benefit Marysville Boulevard. He warned that suspending bidding could lead to bid rigging, and cited \"ban the box\" in connection to contracts, saying it was being misapplied.

Councilmember Dickinson responded that the contract in question was not no-bid: the staff report showed three bidders and the award would go to the low bidder. He also clarified that Green Means Go is a SACOG initiative focused on Del Paso Boulevard and that \"ban the box\" legislation relates to employment-application questions and is unrelated to procurement.

The consent calendar motion (with item 11 withdrawn) passed on a roll-call vote with all present voting aye. Councilmember Maple indicated he would speak later on related items; staff said more work on Marysville Boulevard and other corridors is ongoing.

The council record shows staff identified three bidders for the contract and that it was being awarded to the low bidder; council discussion did not identify the vendor by name during the meeting. A member of the public asked staff to show whether Green Means Go funding had previously come to Del Paso Heights and urged transparency on how contracts are awarded.","Council approved consent items funding sewer and drainage improvements on Del Paso Boulevard connected to the SACOG Green Means Go grant; a public speaker criticized contract procurement and expressed concern about no-bid awards and local-business fairness, which staff and councilmembers disputed.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6654788,"Council adopts resolution to levy special assessments for delinquent utility charges; staff reports revised total delinquency",110,1497000,1607000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0&start=1497&end=1607","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0/thumbnail_1497000.jpg","/articles/6654788/Sacramento/Sacramento-County/California/Council-adopts-resolution-to-levy-special-assessments-for-delinquent-utility-charges-staff-reports-revised-total-delinquency","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6654788-6f78104cc965f8af67408e3d2f913781/orig.mp4?Expires=1770569989&Signature=d0nzWF38apTnjUiwabzh-E9vIXvDDKbunk3xz9HVUPr~OZ4Luj19m8w8p-Gy2VKIykiF1wdav7-mbLHkGgQRgnGO0LjV3GHVbnxZkNbjz-vuJBzKBdYjmam9d8wmfPIAjquw4-8AGwbSJ65JZGWAJOG~WEBSct~aM79tNObmI-JnFdG5llTU2n0CsRu956PYKXnfbLXBxYoNkxgXkuG0jhYW68wRbc1cpehxVn7yfYw1QQ7UOdy8y5a3siff-hBY9XWvOhG4nysVhZ9Kd5S2xynDnRtwOLtcajs~~Md~PniByF6-ACxt1kVVj0kctaG6N4vFDVz9twEbuPpgIYCvsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sacramento City Council opened and closed the public hearing and adopted a resolution to levy special assessments on delinquent utility service charges after the Department of Utilities reported a revised total delinquency amount.

Fadi Jaja, billing services manager with the Department of Utilities, read into the record that Exhibit A in the staff report had been revised and stated the total delinquency amount to be levied as a special assessment was $9,000,916,787.60. He asked the council to open and close the hearing and adopt the resolution.

No members of the public signed up to speak on the item. Councilmember Kaplan thanked utilities staff and asked that future reports identify which delinquencies belong to each council district to help councilmembers target outreach. Kaplan made the motion to open and close the hearing and adopt the resolution; Councilmember Dickinson seconded.

Councilmember Dickinson noted a notable number of delinquent accounts listed under trusts and asked if the city had particular processes to reach trustees. Jaja said the department mails delinquent notices in April and provides customers ample time to respond; he added the department does not currently separate trust-owned properties for additional scrutiny but agreed to look into whether trustees were being reached effectively. “We mail every single delinquent notice in April and we give the community… ample time to reply,” Jaja said.

The motion passed unanimously. Council requested that staff return with more district-level context and follow up on whether notices to trustees are being received and acted upon.

The resolution amends the staff report (Exhibit A) to reflect payments received prior to the hearing and authorizes levying the listed special assessments. Staff said a copy of the revised Exhibit A is on file with the city clerk.

Council did not provide a detailed year-over-year history of delinquency totals during the meeting; Kaplan requested additional background on annual collections to inform outreach and education.","Council adopted a resolution to levy special assessments on delinquent utility accounts after staff said the total delinquency amount had been revised; council asked staff for district breakdowns and to examine unusually high numbers tied to trust-owned properties.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6654791,"Council votes to list Land Park Bowl on Sacramento Register after preservation review",362,1928000,2290000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0&start=1928&end=2290","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442944-42d140f3ce83eb214329ddf1deec0ae0/thumbnail_1928000.jpg","/articles/6654791/Sacramento/Sacramento-County/California/Council-votes-to-list-Land-Park-Bowl-on-Sacramento-Register-after-preservation-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6654791-1071658443f18ac4ec5a86c7cf39af71/orig.mp4?Expires=1770569989&Signature=Cf2UknQDeB6mtoB9G7QJqwHnp78YOluoadr34cEFr48gd3LgiDRB-qHByoFW74me4J0FvovkUwQPSYfcmf07gfTb7GAuNsRzXAni9KAdK4ZBN8u1x1wICjnnWNMg0r05Rfts4poIrpFHW1900kI8tZhCxmEtpDMKAC3Odl~j3DbkLjtnlQbBvthVnEa1u8fT4IBIQURV7gSC8eyxBgoIDrzmrFfTjP3b39wL4ppAC8jP~7P6qfbvcButGEHUZ1QkgZU9RBjxD~Sid-5uNe726eSmiJndcgf94Z6nDP1lnZ66VlUlDS1Sigzm6m041dTlyg7vtjfINzJrv3i1~FHArg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sacramento City Council voted to adopt an ordinance listing 5850 Freeport Boulevard — Land Park Bowl — on the Sacramento Register after a unanimous Preservation Commission recommendation and public comment highlighting its cultural significance.

Whitney Johnson, assistant planner for the city, told council the property was nominated after a demolition request for the fire-damaged building prompted a review. Johnson said two historic evaluations reached different conclusions — one finding the building ineligible and another finding it eligible — and that more than 50 public comments supported listing the site for its associations with Sacramento's Japanese American and LGBTQ+ communities. “The nominated resource meets criterion 1 for its listing in the Sacramento Register in its association with the Japanese American and LGBTQ communities,” Johnson said.

Supporters at the hearing described the bowling alley's role in mid-20th-century community life. Roy Arimoto, a third-generation Japanese American who spoke in support, recounted the bowlers' role in community fellowship after World War II and said the site carried personal and communal memory. “The Nisei Bowling League was one place where they could get together and share some fellowship,” Arimoto said.

Councilmember Steve Maple, who said he toured the building after the fire, asked staff what listing would and would not do. Johnson answered that a landmark listing does not categorically prevent demolition but requires closer environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act for significant alterations or demolition. She said the city met earlier with the property owner's representative about adaptive reuse options and that ownership did not oppose the listing at the time of the hearing.

Maple moved to open and close the public hearing and to adopt the ordinance; Councilmember Kaplan seconded. The motion passed on a voice/roll-call vote with all present voting in favor.

The listing adds the Land Park Bowl to the city's register and will require the city to consider historic-resource impacts if substantial changes or demolition are proposed. Staff noted existing maintenance, code-enforcement and public-safety processes remain available if the structure is considered immediately dangerous and that those processes are not changed by landmarking.

Councilmembers and members of the public urged timely follow-up to avoid prolonged vacancy at the site, and staff said they had been meeting with the owner's representative to explore reuse options.

Proponents and several councilmembers said the designation recognizes both Japanese American and LGBTQ+ community history connected to the building and could guide future reuse rather than immediate demolition.","The Sacramento City Council voted to list 5850 Freeport Boulevard (Land Park Bowl) as a landmark on the Sacramento Register following a Preservation Commission recommendation and public testimony highlighting the building's ties to Japanese American and LGBTQ+ history.","actionData","errors"]
