Sacramento City Council
Dear Mayor Steinberg and City Council-
We are writing as neighborhood associations and community organizations asking that the Sacramento City Council return to open meetings where Council members and the public are able to be present together.
We feel public in-person meetings offer more transparency and accountability on the part of the city and the Council as they sit directly with their constituents.
We do support a hybrid model in which City Council members attend in person at City Hall and the public is allowed to participate both in person and virtually. This would maximize the number of constituents who can participate in this important part of community engagement. We note that the County Supervisors have adopted a hybrid model for their meetings.
As Sacramento schools, businesses and public events return to in-person access, it is time City Council follow suit and open the process within the next month.
Sincerely,

Dear Sacramento Planning Commissioners-
We are writing as neighborhood associations and community organizations asking that the City of Sacramento Planning and Design Commission return to open meetings where commissioners and the public are able to be present together.
We feel public in-person meetings offer more transparency and accountability on the part of the city and the Planning and Design Commission.
We do support a hybrid model in which Planning and Design Commission members attend in person at City Hall and the public is allowed to participate both in person and virtually. This would maximize the number of constituents who can participate in this important part of community engagement. We note that the County Supervisors have adopted a hybrid model for their meetings.
As Sacramento schools, businesses and public events return to in-person access, it is time the Planning and Design Commission follow suit and open the process within the next month.
