Council Weighs Immigration Enforcement Limits, New Firefighter Contract
The Sacramento City Council considered an ordinance on June 23 that would restrict civil immigration enforcement on city property, one of several high-stakes items on agendas over the past two weeks. Meeting minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent sessions, so final votes and outcomes remain unconfirmed.
Immigration ordinance and action plan
At its 5 p.m. meeting, the council was scheduled to vote on adding Chapter 12.73 to the city code, language that would limit civil immigration enforcement at city-owned or -operated facilities. A companion resolution, if adopted, would establish a Community Immigration Action Plan and direct staff to develop further policies.
Labor agreement and salary schedule
That same meeting included a successor memorandum of understanding with Sacramento Area Fire Fighters Local 522. The proposal would update pay and working conditions for fire personnel. Alongside the MOU, the council was asked to approve a revised citywide salary schedule, adjusting rates for jobs in economic development, events, and lifeguard services. Both items were on the evening agenda, though no vote tallies are available.
Financial and grant actions
Earlier on June 23, the 2 p.m. council session reviewed major fiscal items:
- Renewal of city insurance policies at a cost up to **$26,009,461**.
- A Gang Violence Suppression grant that would provide **$375,000 per year through 2030**.
- A **$1,000,000 federal grant** for improvements at Johnston Community Center.
- A subaward agreement with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office for **$793,280**.
- A contract for LED replacement at the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center worth **$363,555**.
- Exclusive negotiation rights for city-owned properties at 1340–1414 Del Paso Boulevard.
All items appeared on the agenda; formal adoption will be confirmed when minutes are released.
Ethics Commission and mayor complaint
The Ethics Commission met June 22 to vote on an independent evaluator’s no-cause report regarding a complaint against Mayor Kevin McCarty. The commission’s options were to dismiss the complaint or initiate a formal investigation. The meeting also included approval of April 2026 minutes, an interim report from the Good Government Program Auditing Ad Hoc Committee, and training on ethics procedures.
