Top issues during term (20)(General)
Sacramento Housing and Homelessness Shared Governance Model
Potential long-term administrative savings and better resource alignment across city and county budgets.
State and Federal Legislative Platform Immigrant Data Privacy
Minimal direct fiscal impact, guiding lobbying and policy advocacy efforts.
Behavioral Health and Homelessness Response
City emergency services spend millions repeatedly responding to high-acuity individuals.
Existing Litigation: Rodriguez v. City of Sacramento
Expect taxpayer money to get sucked into costly legal fees and potential settlement costs as the city fights this lawsuit.
Homelessness Shelter Funding and Operations
Several millions in contract supplements authorized for shelter operations.
Roseville Road Shelter Expansion
Contract amount not to exceed $435,158, funded entirely through state ERF grants rather than the general fund.
Title 17 Cannabis Land Use Regulations
Allows the city to retain a social equity cannabis project that contributes to local economic development.
plaza renaming
Zero taxpayer dollars wasted on new signs since the name isn't changing.
Expansion of City Entertainment Zones
Permitting costs remain tied to special events with no additional city fees charged for zone designation.
data center regulation
This could mean higher utility bills for everyday residents if taxpayers end up subsidizing the massive grid upgrades these power-hungry data centers demand.
state takeover
Mismanagement got us here, and now taxpayers might foot the bill for state-appointed fixers while local control over district spending goes out the window.
fiscal dispute mediation
Avoiding a state takeover could save the district millions in costly administrative penalties and stabilize its long-term funding.
homelessness policy
Your local tax dollars might get pooled and spent differently as the city and county try to figure out a new way to fund homelessness programs together.
government transparency
While there's no direct price tag yet, a lack of transparency usually leads to costly lawsuits and wasted taxpayer money down the road.
holiday policy
Taxpayers will foot the bill for the extra paid day off and potential overtime staffing, though the exact cost wasn't immediately specified.
waste management
Careless recycling habits could hit your wallet hard with unexpected city fines.
minimum wage
Local workers will see higher hourly earnings, though employers face increased labor costs that could trickle down to consumers.
waste management enforcement
Residents could face unexpected fines if inspectors find they aren't sorting their trash correctly.
homelessness surge
Expect your tax dollars to be funneled into expanding emergency shelters and support services to deal with the surge.
trash inspection
Getting caught mislabeling your trash could eventually lead to fines or higher waste management costs down the road if contamination rates stay high.
