# City Council (Special Meeting) - 4/28/2020

The City of Sacramento City Council held a special meeting on April 28, 2020. Staff reviewed the commercial tenant eviction moratorium, which was scheduled to end May 31 and allows eligible businesses to delay—not avoid—rent payments, subject to notice and documentation requirements. Survey results indicated widespread difficulty reaching repayment agreements between tenants and landlords. Councilmembers discussed concerns about the ordinance’s effects on both parties and proposed mediation and clearer public communications; staff was not recommending changes at that time. No motion or vote on the moratorium is reflected in the transcript.

The Council also discussed the emergency bridge housing initiative. The mayor said he was comfortable proceeding with the Grove Avenue project and cited potential partnership funding and reimbursements, while noting that a fuller report on rehousing options was expected the following week. He also mentioned an ongoing fundraising effort with a target of at least $1.5 million. The transcript records no contract award, procurement approval, or spending vote; no specific vendor or contract amount was identified.
