City Council (Closed Session) 2/14/2023

The City of Sacramento City Council meeting on February 14, 2023 included discussion of development approvals, code enforcement costs, and city resources. The consent calendar passed, with public comment supporting investment in an extension of the Nino’s Parkway bike and pedestrian path. Council approved the Trinity House rezoning and mixed-use conversion at 2701 and 2711 Capitol Avenue, allowing 65 apartments and a ground-floor restaurant, and unanimously approved a two-story retail and office commercial center on Bell Avenue. No contract awards, vendor selections, or new procurement approvals were identified.

For code-compliance items, staff reported an amended total of $74,491 in special assessments and personal obligations across 75 properties; item 12 passed 9–0 and item 13 passed unanimously. Councilmembers discussed staffing and enforcement capacity, possible fee review and full cost recovery, and the need to consider resources in the upcoming budget process. The discussion also referenced $10 million previously allocated through the Aggie Square agreement for housing stability. During public comment, speakers urged the city to halt purchases of military equipment, but the council took no action on that request during this meeting.
