At the City of Sacramento meeting on February 13, 2024, the council approved the consent agenda. Procurement-related items included pedestrian-safety improvements near schools under the city’s Vision Zero work, including projects at Father Keith B. Kenny, Oak Ridge, and PS7 schools; a council member thanked staff and noted federal appropriations support. On consent item 8, a member questioned a five-year service contract with a local company: the rate had risen from $32 to $74.80 per ton, and the contract value from $800,000 to nearly $2 million. Staff said the city had not revisited pricing for this 2019 contract; the member supported the item but urged review of competitive alternatives amid a projected $50 million budget deficit. The consent agenda, including these items, was approved.

Consent item 19 positioned the city to accept state funding for the Meadowview Farmers Market; a council member cited a $500,000 allocation secured in the 2023–24 state budget, while noting the funds were temporarily on hold during state budget discussions. Public comments also advocated healthcare, apprenticeship and local-hire standards for contractors bidding on development projects, but no related council action was reported. The council separately and unanimously approved designating the former North Sacramento School a historic landmark; that decision was not a procurement award.
