# City Council - 4/7/2020

At its April 7, 2020 meeting, the Sacramento City Council addressed COVID-19 response, technology regulation, homelessness, and youth housing. The Council unanimously approved an ordinance and related design standards and master license agreement governing small-cell wireless deployments in city rights-of-way. The framework establishes public-notification and appeal processes, carrier compliance requirements, contractor qualifications, and site-specific agreements; staff described it as balancing community concerns with federal requirements. The consent calendar, which included authorization for the City Treasurer to support small-business assistance programs, also passed unanimously. No specific wireless vendor or contract award was identified.

The Council discussed the emergency homeless response, including motel placements, isolation trailers, shelter expansion, and services for encampments, and directed staff to return with a rehousing strategy within about two weeks. For the Grow Avenue transitional-youth cabin project, staff reported $1,207,668 spent or obligated against a total project budget of approximately $5.6–$5.8 million. The Council unanimously approved a 30-day pause before proceeding with the remaining funding, so the City could assess whether resources were needed for broader COVID-related rehousing; the district representative supported the pause while emphasizing the project’s intended use for transitional-age youth. No final reallocation of the remaining funds was decided.
