Board Chambers Meetings

The First 5 Sacramento Commission is comprised of 14 members that have been appointed by the County Board of Supervisors because of their experience in early childhood health and development.

As a funding agency, the Commission makes strategic investments based on best practices and a community driven plan. Investments are made into programs that meet the highest needs of children and families in Sacramento County.

The Sacramento County Planning Commission (Commission) consists of five members. Commission members are appointed by a Sacramento County Board of Supervisor within the boundaries of five supervisorial districts, respectively.

The Commission also serves as the Board of Zoning Appeals. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month.

This community meeting was organized by the fifth district supervisor, Pat Hume, to discuss the governance of Locke and possible solutions to its current problems. The meeting focused on exploring six different governance options for Locke, ultimately narrowing down to two viable options: updating the Locke Management Association bylaws to remove the county’s appointed seat or dissolving the association altogether. Participants in the meeting, including residents, business owners, and board members, provided their insights and opinions, highlighting issues such as the current lack of representation for renters and the need for more clear boundaries between the commercial and residential areas of Locke. The meeting concluded with a general consensus to explore the possibility of bifurcating Locke into two distinct entities, one focused on the residential area and the other on the commercial area.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Cable Television Commission (Commission) is the joint powers agency responsible for issues related to cable television/video State franchises in Sacramento County, California. The member agencies of the Commission include the County of Sacramento and the Cities of Sacramento, Galt, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova and Elk Grove.

The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) was formed in 1989 to address the Sacramento area's vulnerability to catastrophic flooding. This vulnerability was exposed during the record flood of 1986 when Folsom Dam exceeded its normal flood control storage capacity and several area levees nearly collapsed under the strain of the storm. In response, the City of Sacramento, the County of Sacramento, the County of Sutter, the American River Flood Control District and Reclamation District No. 1000 created SAFCA through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to provide the Sacramento region with increased flood protection along the American and Sacramento Rivers.

The SacMetro AQMD is responsible for cleaning the air to meet state and federal health standards so we all breathe easier. The area's two biggest air pollutants are ground-level ozone and particulate matter 2.5. In Sacramento County, the majority of air pollution during the summer comes from mobile sources, which are the cars, trucks, buses, agriculture and construction equipment that are used every day. In the wintertime, the majority of air pollution comes from wood burning in residential fireplaces and wood stoves. Together we work to improve the health and quality of life for residents.
