City Council (Special Meeting) - 2/22/2022

At the City of Sacramento City Council special meeting on February 22, 2022, the city auditor presented an audit of the Sacramento Community Police Review Commission. The audit identified three findings and 16 recommendations concerning the commission’s authority and roles, staffing and resources, access to information, and how recommendations and police responses should be documented and tracked. Council members discussed the need for dedicated staff, training, and a consistent review process; the city manager said recommendations would return to council in March, with a broader boards-and-commissions process also under development. A motion to accept the audit was moved and seconded, though the transcript does not clearly record a vote. No contract award or specific procurement amount was identified in connection with the audit.

The council also discussed affordable-housing gap financing and infrastructure upgrades. The mayor asked the city manager to identify an expert consultant for a spring workshop on infrastructure financing and development tools; the manager indicated a consultant contract could follow if council chose to proceed. No consultant was selected, contract was awarded, or dollar amount specified. A council member also raised the possibility of city funding for infrastructure work undertaken by housing developers, but no funding decision was made.
