Agenda

Sacramento County Jail System Master Plan update

Sacramento County’s Jail System Master Plan is now available for public review. The Master Plan, developed by Health Management Associates (HMA) and DLR Group, evaluates the County’s existing jail facilities, identifies facility and operational needs, and outlines potential approaches for addressing those needs.

The Master Plan is available on the County’s Jail System Master Planning webpage.

We invite you to join us for an upcoming community webinar to learn more about the Master Plan, its findings, and the next steps in the planning process.

Jail System Master Plan – Community Webinar
Thursday, November 19, 2026, 5:00 p.m.
Location: Online via Zoom
Registration:https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ELaVxtDzS7azzEMgfF2J6g

During the webinar, County staff will provide a detailed overview of the completed Master Plan, including its findings, alternatives, and considerations for future planning. Attendees will also have opportunities to provide public comment. Each speaker will have up to three minutes to share their comments, and the public comment period will continue until everyone wishing to speak has had an opportunity.

Have questions about the Master Plan?
We encourage you to submit questions in advance using the questions and comments field on the webinar registration form. If possible, please submit your questions by Thursday, November 12, to allow time for County staff to review them and coordinate with our technical consultants as appropriate. Questions submitted after this date are still welcome, although we may not be able to address every question during the webinar.

What happens next?
The Master Plan is an important milestone in the County’s ongoing efforts to address jail facility deficiencies and plan for the future of its jail system. Under timelines established through the federal Mays Consent Decree process, the County is required to develop written recommendations in response to the Master Plan by December 4.

The Board of Supervisors is expected to consider recommendations on December 15, 2026, including one or more approaches for further study. This will be an important step in the planning process, but it will not constitute final approval of a specific construction project.

We encourage community members to review the Master Plan, participate in the webinar, and share their questions and perspectives as the County moves forward.

Thank you for your continued interest and participation in the Jail System Master Planning process!

Agenda

Save the Date

At the E-board Meeting this past weekend:

Great turnout on July 30th when Medicare turned 61.  The meeting with Doris Matsui’s staff was cancelled the night before after 5:00 pm via email because they did not want to meet with a group that was affiliated with National Nurses United even though all the people are constituents.  They still did their presentation and are still asking for Doris Matsui to co-sponsor HR 3069 Medicare for All Bill.  We want to improve and expand Medicare to cover everyone.  Mai Vang only heard about the event the morning of the event after we learned that our appointment had been cancelled.  The event was NOT a campaign event and there was no mention of the upcoming election.  The event was totally focused on our need for Medicare for All since our current system is so broken, unsustainable, and inhumane.   They were able to give the birthday card to the Matsui staff and the staff apologized that the appointment had been cancelled.  If you live in CD 7, please call our representative, Doris Matsui, to sign on the HR 3069.  It has 114 Democratic co-sponsors, but the list does not include Doris Matsui.   Her office phone # is 916-498-5600.
