All right.

Thank you, Madam City Clerk.

Welcome to today's lawn legislation committee meeting.

But very especially I want to I want to say happy 916 day to you all.

This is a very special day in our family.

We celebrate it.

Of course, I'll be here all day.

Yes.

Yes, the beautiful city of trees.

And so, you know, it's a special day.

So with that, um, Madam City Clerk, will you please call the roll?

Thank you.

Councilmember Dickinson.

Councilmember Plucky Bombs expected momentarily, Councilmember Jennings.

And Chair Maple.

I am here.

And with that, um, Councilmember Dickinson, would you lead us in the land acknowledgement and pledge of allegiance?

Please rise as you're able.

To the original people of this land, the Nissanan people, the Southern Maidu uh Valley and Plains Miwok, uh Paton Patwin Wynn uh Winton, and the people of the Wilton Rancher's, uh Sakama is the only federally recognized tribe, may we acknowledge and honor the native people who came before us and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today in the active practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's indigenous peoples' history contributions and lives.

Thank you.

And now please join me in the pledge.

I pledge a leader.

And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God and divisible liberty and justice.

Thank you.

Councilmember Dickinson.

All right.

So with that, we're gonna get started today with our um consent calendar.

Um any questions, comments, polling from the consent from committee members.

Seeing none.

Do we have any public comment?

Sure, I have no speakers on the consent calendar.

I'll move to the consent calendar.

Okay, we have a motion by Councilmember Jennings.

Do we have a second?

Second.

All right, second by Council Member Plucky Mom.

All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Abstain.

Seeing none, that passes unanimously.

Um, and that brings us on to item number three.

I'm really excited about this.

This is something that we've been working with in partnership with the realtors, with our other partners for many, many months now.

Um, I want to thank our staff, and especially want to thank Ryan Brown, my chief of staff, for spearheading this.

Um, I know that there's been some fits and starts, but I think this is an incredibly important conversation.

I know that we've talked about um as a body, as a as a city, as a state, um the importance of our housing crisis.

And to me, that means that we have to employ a lot of just different strategies at once to make sure that we have the kind of housing um that we need across the board at all levels.

And so, one piece of that, of course, is ADUs.

I think that we've done an extraordinary job as a city, um, far and beyond many other jurisdictions at making it easier to do that.

But there's of course always more that we can do, and so um the point of today's workshop is to explore that, explore what we're doing, make sure the public knows that all the all the great work that's going on behind the scenes, um, and then also look ahead about what's possible, um, what are the opportunities and what are the possible um snags that we can avoid.

So, with that, we'll get started with our very first presenter, which is Ryan Brown.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Okay.

Uh good morning, Madam Chair and members of the committee.

Uh, my name is Ryan Brown, Chief of Staff, of course, to Councilmember Katie Maple, uh, our committee chair, and I'm uh truly honored to be on this side of the dais for the first time in my city hall career.

Um, and today at Councilmember Maple's request, I'm pleased to be helping present the Lawn Ledge workshop on ADU, of course, or accessory dwelling unit construction.

Um, in addition to my own research on other jurisdictions ADU programming, we'll be welcoming a series of brief presentations from individuals who represent different components of the ADU supply chain, uh, here to provide their perspectives and answer questions.

And so I'm excited to welcome uh Greta Seuss, our own senior planner, um, Erin Teague from the Sacramento Area Realtors, Nathan Sibett uh with Lone Depot, and Ivan Katraniac with Imcat Homes.
