City Council (Closed Session) 3/7/2023

The Sacramento City Council meeting on March 7, 2023, opened with no report from closed session. Procurement-related discussion centered on housing funding: the council approved a resolution authorizing staff to apply for up to $2.5 million through the state’s Pro Housing Incentive Pilot Program, with staff recommending the funds support local gap financing for priority affordable-housing projects. Council members also discussed the need to pursue additional state and federal housing resources, including possible future financing strategies; no specific contracts or vendors were awarded. The consent calendar, including an expansion of the city’s ARPA-funded guaranteed-income project, was approved.
