The Elk Grove City Council convened a regular meeting beginning at 6:12 p.m. (following a special meeting that adjourned at 6:11 p.m.) and heard general public comments, received the FY 2025–26 midyear budget report (adopting amendments), and held an extensive discussion on potential sites for a permanent homeless shelter. After public testimony and council deliberation, Council directed staff to pursue only the Survey Road site for acquisition negotiations for the permanent shelter project.
