Why it matters: The event lets residents drop off household waste and recyclable materials free of charge; the facility’s equipment upgrades increase the amount of material diverted from landfill and provide local inspection opportunities for councilmembers and staff.

Joe Catilago and Angel Diaz, representing Waste Management, said the May 3 event will be open to City of Sacramento residents (not commercial accounts) from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the transfer station; Waste Management provided flyers and said they are aiming for a 75% diversion rate during the event. Diaz, district manager for the Sacramento recycling and transfer station, described a state‑of‑the‑art materials recovery facility that uses optical sorting and other upgrades to boost capture of recyclables from the city’s curbside and many commercial streams, and invited council members to tour the plant.

Councilmembers asked staff to return with updates on organics diversion and plastics‑reduction efforts. Councilmember Pluckettbaum asked Waste Management to update the council later this year on the city’s organics diversion program and on steps to reduce plastic in the waste stream. Mayor Pro Tem Guerra praised the facility’s optical sensors that separate multiple plastic types and noted the facility’s role in local employment.

Waste Management confirmed the May 3 residential drop‑off hours and said promotional materials will be circulated by the city and the company.","Waste Management representatives told the City Council on April 22 about a May 3 citywide resident 'Dump Day' (8–11 a.m.) and described recent upgrades to the Sacramento recycling and transfer station that increase plastics capture and invite tours.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6575550,"Sacramento City Council approves consent calendar including ordinance on storefront cannabis permits; councilmember seeks six‑month check‑in",208,146000,354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3093135-708257d3a6b6fe0a9a2ab95fbcab6560&start=146&end=354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3093135-708257d3a6b6fe0a9a2ab95fbcab6560/thumbnail_146000.jpg","/articles/6575550/Sacramento/Sacramento-County/California/Sacramento-City-Council-approves-consent-calendar-including-ordinance-on-storefront-cannabis-permits-councilmember-seeks-sixmonth-checkin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575550-a0617a57741e1347de4489c042e58079/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434834&Signature=no9AKHit70ob6z4R6rpbAf0SjfMlisacLIVr~0BOxw8xEplCEqX9N74935wcbGgpNhhPUnamz4MEIFwoy4Uw9RXHei16BXGeWMgusUiL5NPtUVdi2a39lRiHKv4gKEEZNC~N12NAedEU9V-nU4ZKQnoKITLUVIEg0T7Dkd8ecsIDa09ZcFX2BdS4nRGKTaATKO1W08tMfrMc5PAMUJT8PH391knr5silCJWSNzg4z0ih1NXJacLB7p8yyihILcP7B37fgH0mW-YxDOPdK3G-vyvOBCSbM7MeRRBWFRwyagnbCurqzgqI2Xbavl2rCETSZXq35qmI8X~jg4kdgFJwjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sacramento City Council unanimously approved the consent calendar (items 1–19) at its April 22 meeting, including an ordinance addressing limits on storefront cannabis dispensary permits.

Why it matters: The ordinance affects how many storefront cannabis businesses can obtain and operate under city permits; council members said follow‑up is needed to assess whether businesses meet operational timelines and whether permit terms should change.

Councilmember Kaplan, speaking during the consent discussion, called for a follow‑up check‑in six months after the council granted an additional one‑year window to some permittees and said she may seek a broader policy discussion about the city’s permit period. “I just wanna make sure we follow‑up and get a 6 month check‑in with those that we did give the 1 year,” Kaplan said. She also said the council should consider longer‑term questions — “what are we trying to accomplish? What’s our policy goal?” — and whether to revisit the change from a three‑year to a five‑year timeframe that was previously adopted to allow businesses more time to open.

The consent motion was made and seconded and passed unanimously. No abstentions were recorded.

During the consent public‑comment period, one speaker, Mac Worthy, criticized certain spending on medical center rehabilitation and described the appropriation as a “waste of money.” His remarks were part of general public comment on consent items and are recorded in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: Councilmember Kaplan indicated she may return with a motion or request to reopen discussion on the permit timeframes and broader policy goals for storefront cannabis permits; no formal direction beyond approval of the consent calendar was recorded during this session.

Why it matters: SACOG’s plan guides where the region plans to direct transportation and land‑use investments, helps prioritize state and federal grant advocacy and will shape local planning decisions that affect housing affordability, commute times and greenhouse gas targets.

Corliss said the region will grow by roughly 600,000 people over 25 years, producing an estimated 278,000 housing units regionwide and about 83,000 housing units needed inside the City of Sacramento. “We’re gonna grow by another 600,000 people in the next 25 years,” Corliss said. He added the plan assumes roughly two‑thirds of growth will occur inside the existing urban footprint and about one‑third in new growth areas.

SACOG described extensive community outreach for the update — polls, focus groups and mini‑grants to community‑based organizations — and distilled responses into seven themes, Corliss said: housing for all life stages and income levels; safer, more convenient transportation choices; resilience to climate hazards; and protection of working landscapes. Housing was the top concern in SACOG’s outreach, followed by public safety and transportation options.

Corliss also outlined funding constraints: transportation revenues tied to gasoline are declining, which will require prioritizing lower‑cost, “quick‑build” safety and maintenance projects and using technology and partnerships to stretch limited funds. The Blueprint will be released for a two‑month public review in May along with an environmental impact report, with a final plan expected for board review in September and adoption in November, Corliss said.

Council members raised implementation and funding questions. Mayor Pro Tem Guerra urged the city to press for REAP‑style funding (sometimes referenced as REAP 2/REAP 3) to reduce infill infrastructure costs; Corliss said REAP‑style programs and cap‑and‑trade reauthorization are on SACOG’s advocacy agenda and that AB 1223 (Assemblymember Nguyen) has provisions SACOG supports. Guerra asked SACOG to coordinate outreach with the city’s events and to support a locally viable transportation measure that could fund both neighborhood safety and larger regional projects.

Councilmember Dickinson asked about changes in commuting and work patterns after the pandemic and how those trends affect SACOG’s forecasts and greenhouse gas modeling. Corliss said SACOG is working with the California Air Resources Board on updated forecasts that reflect hybrid work and more dispersed travel patterns; he said hybrid patterns can reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions but also change downtown and transit ridership dynamics.

Other council remarks covered wildfire evacuation concerns, regional assets such as Sacramento Valley Station and the need for regional funding approaches, transit projects including the Third Main Line and ACE/Valley Rail expansions, and the requirement to update a federally required memorandum of understanding among SACOG, Sacramento Regional Transit and other operators. Corliss said SACOG is working with transit partners on an MOU update and on strategies to increase transit ridership and financial sustainability.

Councilmember Kaplan asked SACOG to consider specific local growth proposals north of the city (Grand Park and Upper West Side) and to show potential growth scenarios in appendices or supplemental materials; Corliss said those projects are tracked and would be added to the plan footprint if they break ground.

Corliss closed by urging regional collaboration across jurisdictions and parties, and by noting that SACOG will ask member jurisdictions to review the draft during the May public comment period.

Looking ahead: SACOG will release the draft Blueprint and EIR for two months of public comment in May, return to the board with revisions in September and aim for adoption in November. Councilmembers requested follow‑up briefings on specific modeling assumptions, wildfire/evacuation planning, and coordination on advocacy for state funding programs.
