Added SacTA on Thursday.

SacMoves Coalition hosts an event calendar at https://sacmoves.org/events/, which is maintained by STAR (Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders) and Getting Around Sacramento.

It is understandable when agencies and organizations schedule events in conflict, as there are only so many days and times in the week, but when a single agency schedules in conflict with itself, ack! Get it together, City of Sacramento.

Monday 12

• SacRT Board Meeting – canceled (no surprise)

Tuesday 13

• Sacramento City Council, 5:00 PM (nothing of particular transportation interest, but always an opportunity to speak about transportation for ‘items not on the agenda)
  Update: Slow Down Sacramento noted that consent agenda item 2 is about speed limits on a number of streets in Sacramento: https://gettingaroundsac.blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/saccity_2024-08-13_agenda-02-speed-limits.pdf. I will admit to skimming the consent calendar, and missing transportation items.

Consent Calendar items

All of the agency agendas have items on a consent calendar or consent agenda, items which are routine continuations of decisions already made, or which are not expected to generate any controversy or public discussion. Any council/board/commission member may request that an agenda item be pulled from the consent calendar for discussion. Sometimes this is just so that they can make a statement of support, and sometimes it is because they wish the governing body to really discuss the item. It is not unusual for an item that really deserves discussion to be snuck by on the consent agenda, but at the same time, discussion of every single item would lead to interminable meetings. The consent calendar does serve a useful purpose.

The public may comment on any item on the consent calendar. However, unless the item has been pulled for discussion, comment is unlikely to change the outcome. The consent calendar is passed en-masse, not item by item. It is often not known until the consent calendar comes up whether or not a particular item may be pulled, so if you do wish to comment, you must submit a speaker card for that item ahead of time (if in person) or a comment beforehand on whatever schedule and mechanism the entity requires.
