The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved consent authority to execute an agreement with Forensic Clean LLC for homeless encampment cleanup in unincorporated areas, and the county executive announced a joint regional meeting on homelessness set for Oct. 28.

County staff placed the contract on the consent calendar as “retroactive authority to execute an agreement with Forensic Clean LLC” with term dates shown in the item (effective Oct. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026) and an option for two one‑year renewals. The consent calendar motion passed unanimously with the supervisors present.

The county executive said the Oct. 28 meeting will bring together the Board of Supervisors, the Sacramento City Council and mayor, and leaders from the county’s incorporated cities to hear progress reports, federal funding impacts and behavioral health work serving people experiencing homelessness, followed by a facilitated visioning session to identify a more collaborative regional approach.

Supervisor Kennedy noted the contract amount on the agenda and said there had been controversy about the vendor in another jurisdiction that has since been resolved. “This is almost a million dollars that we're spending on cleanup for specifically homeless encampments,” Kennedy said during the consent‑calendar discussion, adding the expenditure is a significant but sometimes overlooked component of the county’s homelessness spending.

County staff and supervisors also highlighted recently completed and award‑winning Safe Stay projects. The county executive said Stockton Boulevard Safe Stay received an American Society of Civil Engineers award for best community improvement project; Amy Halcon, the county director of homelessness, accepted the award. Supervisor Desmond said he toured the new Safe Stay site on Watt Avenue and praised its progress.

No additional debate or amendments to the contract were recorded in the public transcript before the consent vote. The contract, the Oct. 28 regional meeting and the Safe Stay recognitions were presented as staff updates and consent items rather than separate contested hearings.

Looking ahead, staff indicated the vendor agreement and the outcomes of the Oct. 28 regional meeting will guide interagency coordination on encampment cleanup and behavioral‑health pathways for people experiencing homelessness.
