Board of Supervisors - 10/20/26

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 20, 2026, included several procurement- and funding-related actions. On the consent calendar, the Board considered an amendment authorizing the Department of General Services to increase Leonakis’s architectural-services contract for the Watt Avenue Behavioral Health Campus from $250,000 to nearly $4 million, taking the work from grant-application planning through project completion. Staff said the original RFP described the full scope and the later phases contingent on receiving a grant; the project received approximately $45.5 million in grant funding, and staff cited a standard contingency of about 10%. The consent calendar also included authorization for the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency and County Housing Authority to enter into funding related to a workforce-housing purchase and conversion; no amount was stated. The transcript records a motion and second on the consent calendar but does not capture its final vote. Separately, following a public hearing, the Board approved 5–0 a benefit-category change and service-charge levy for the Calvine Road Chevron project: the annual charge will rise from $49.16 to approximately $205.12, with the sole protest ballot in favor and no majority protest.

The Board also reviewed and approved the 2027 HUD One-Year Action Plan, proposing about $9.87 million in federal funds: $6.55 million in CDBG, $2.8 million in HOME, and $520,000 in ESG. Proposed uses included infrastructure and public facilities, housing preservation and repair, public services, multifamily housing, rapid rehousing, and shelter services. During the homeless-services report, staff said the County and City of Sacramento are sharing the cost of a consultant to develop a new countywide homelessness-governance structure, and that a separate procurement is being developed for initial staffing support. The Board also discussed stronger outcome reporting and noted that County contracts require funded homeless-service providers to enter data into the shared system. The transcript does not capture a specific vote on the action plan or the final disposition of the related procurement discussions.
