Today Sky and Keyan chat about the City budget, which is set to be adopted this week. The only thing is, they’re cutting several different police oversight measures and homeless services under the guise of fixing the deficit? Is any of this necessary? It turns out the answer is no, and Keyan has done the work and brings the receipts to prove it. See for yourself.  [https://bit.ly/SacCity-Budget-Savings2026] Here’s what else we have coming up, flag-wise: * Community Police Review Commission, Monday, June 8, 5:30pm [https://docs.google.com/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsacramento.legistar1.com%2Fsacramento%2Fmeetings%2F2026%2F6%2F3620_A_Community_Police_Review_Commission_26-06-08_Regular_Meeting_Agenda.pdf&embedded=true] * Item 3: Staff Updates from SPD [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15553078&GUID=CD2A0264-19BB-48D9-BD68-E33C0A1152B0] * Item 6: Office of Public Safety and Accountability Presentation: An Overview of the Office of Public Safety and Accountability [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15513591&GUID=41ADAA8E-E697-4E54-A40E-4A89246F8530] * Item 7: Community Police Review Commission Letter Regarding Proposed Reduction in Commission Meetings [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15553079&GUID=EC0EE0B8-EE2F-4058-8745-3C33D3D4611F] * Sacramento City Council, Tuesday, June 9, 2:00pm [https://sacramento.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=21&event_id=6271] * Item 7: City of Sacramento Investment Policy and Delegation of Investment Authority to City Treasurer [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15552435&GUID=F9492B4D-F9DF-41DB-ADD9-77EE4FBB0B33] * Item 38: Annual Reports of the Housing Trust Fund Ordinance, Mixed-Income Housing Ordinance, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Permanent Location Housing Allocation, State Local Housing Trust Fund, Residential Hotel Unit Withdrawal, Conversion, and Demolition Ordinance [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15552545&GUID=537F6494-35D0-4258-B5AB-FE835F677B16] * Item 39: 2025 Audit of City Employees’ Workforce Diversity and Salary Trends [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15551059&GUID=36612969-4942-43B8-B4E9-900D01BF267D] * Sacramento City Council, Tuesday, June 9, 5:00pm [https://docs.google.com/gview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsacramento.legistar1.com%2Fsacramento%2Fmeetings%2F2026%2F6%2F3497_A_City_Council_-_5PM_26-06-09_Regular_Meeting_Agenda.pdf&embedded=true] * Item 1: Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget and 2026-2031 Capital Improvement Plan [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15553407&GUID=5A239BD3-1B62-4AB0-9069-393C2B2D6A4D] & Supplemental Materials [https://sacramento.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=15560274&GUID=22C8CDFB-84CF-42CF-A624-3D60EA52ABC6] * Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, June 9, 9:30am [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Meetings/ViewMeeting?id=10223&doctype=1] * Item 7: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing County Officials To Accept Donations And Establishing Standards For The Acceptance Of Donations (Finance) [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Documents/ViewDocument/BOARD_OF_SUPERVISORS_10223_Agenda_Packet_6_9_2026_9_30_00_AM.pdf?meetingId=10223&documentType=AgendaPacket&itemId=0&publishId=0&isSection=false#page=314] * Item 70: 2026 Homeless Point In Time Count Results (Homeless Services and Housing) [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Documents/ViewDocument/BOARD_OF_SUPERVISORS_10223_Agenda_Packet_6_9_2026_9_30_00_AM.pdf?meetingId=10223&documentType=AgendaPacket&itemId=0&publishId=0&isSection=false#page=2024] * Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, June 10-12, 9:30am [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Meetings/ViewMeeting?id=10224&doctype=1] * Item 3: Consideration, Possible Revision And Approval Of The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommended Budget [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Documents/ViewDocument/BOARD_OF_SUPERVISORS_10224_Agenda_Packet_6_10_2026_9_30_00_AM.pdf?meetingId=10224&documentType=AgendaPacket&itemId=0&publishId=0&isSection=false#page=20] * Item 4: [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Documents/ViewDocument/BOARD_OF_SUPERVISORS_10224_Agenda_Packet_6_10_2026_9_30_00_AM.pdf?meetingId=10224&documentType=AgendaPacket&itemId=0&publishId=0&isSection=false#page=1261]Adopt The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan [https://agendanet.saccounty.gov/BoardofSupervisors/Meetings/ViewMeeting?id=10224&doctype=1] Stay up to date with what your local government is doing in Sacramento: * Follow SJPC on FB [https://www.facebook.com/SocialJusticeSac] & IG [https://instagram.com/socialjusticesac] * Sign up for our newsletter [https://www.socialjusticesac.org/joinsjpc] * Join the SJPC Signal Chat [https://signal.group/#CjQKIMKQMw78kJUj2yfcRXb83WVMO1__Z1k6KZkrXQ1yJxs-EhBj2TrqL7wagSZ4mrM6AdqI] * Keep an eye on the running agenda tracker [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19NjD9gWSF7HUmoOVf0cr-4kOPgcXia-yE1aBIeQ1uBQ/edit?usp=sharing] * Watch us on YouTube!

June 2, 2026 – SPECIAL EPISODE - CA Anti-Death Penalty Coalition

In this special episode Gabe is joined by Natasha Minsker, facilitator from the California Anti-Death Penalty Coalition. We are focusing on the role Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho has played in increasing the rates of inmates facing the death-penalty, and what the community can do to stop it: "The Sacramento Anti-Death Penalty Coalition is organizing people to attend the Board of Supervisors' hearing on the budget. We will give public comment urging the Board to reduce the District Attorney's office budget, in light of the office's wasteful and harmful pursuit of the death penalty."

Today Sky goes it alone to bring you a preview of what’s coming this week. No County meetings, but we do have some items we flagged from the Budget & Audit Committee, as well as 2pm and 5pm Council meetings.  There’s a rally tomorrow at 4:30pm, organized by a collection of some of Sac’s finest orgs who are trying to get people to show up for the 5pm meeting to advocate for the Public Bank viability study, which has been axed even though is it extremely cheap and not a big money saver for the City in terms of closing the budget gap.
