Deliverables and Important Dates Surrounding Measure O
March 24, 2023
Courtyard Sacramento Cal Expo
1782 Tribute Road, Sacramento, CA 95815
Jenna Abbott
Sr Vice President, Strategic Initiatives
Sacramento Metro Chamber
On December 6, 2022 the City of Sacramento and the County of Sacramento signed a legally binding partnership agreement which triggered the implementation of Measure O, also known as the Emergency Shelter Act of 2022. The Measure was put on the ballot through a direct democracy initiative spearheaded by the Metro Chamber and was passed by the citizens of Sacramento with a strong majority vote. The City of Sacramento had inserted language into the Measure that rendered it inactive, even if passed by the voters, without the partnership agreement. The Metro Chamber was an effective mediator to help broker the deal creating the partnership agreement to ensure the voter's will was not denied.
For this meeting, we are pleased to welcome Jenna Abbott, Sr Vice President Strategic Initiatives, who will brief us on what the next steps, deliverables and important dates surrounding Measure O are.

It all started with a simple decision: To allow it to be okay not to be okay.
The goal is to provide tools and skills to identify and talk about mental health issues in a safe environment that encourages people to seek help they may need.
In hospitality we are family. Let’s do what it takes to make that family stronger and healthier.
