1. What Distinguishes a County from a City?
All of California's residents live within the boundaries of a county; there are 58 in California. Counties have many roles in our state, and often serve as agents for the state, delivering front line services mandated at the state level. Those services include such things as running elections, safeguarding public health, providing official document recording services and prosecuting alleged criminals and housing the convicted in jails. A wide variety of social services are provided by counties.
In most counties within California, the vast majority of residents also live within the boundaries of incorporated cities, which provide them with residential services such as garbage pickup, code enforcement and animal regulation. The County of Sacramento is unique in that we have a large percentage of residents who live in the county, but not within the boundary of any of our seven incorporated cities. Those residents, who live in the unincorporated area, rely upon the county to provide city-like services to them as well.
Sacramento County is also unique in that it houses not only a city with the same name, which serves as the County seat, but is also home to the state legislature and State Capitol.
2. Overview of Sacramento City
Founded in 1849, the City of Sacramento is the oldest incorporated city in California. In 1920, Sacramento city voters adopted a City Charter (municipal constitution) and a City Council Manager form of government, which is still being used today.
The City Council consists of a Mayor, elected by all City voters, and eight Council members, elected to represent separate districts in the City. Each Council member is required to live in the district they represent. The Mayor and Council members serve four-year terms. Elections are staggered.
The Council establishes city policies, ordinances and land uses; approves the City’s annual budget, contracts, and agreements; hears appeals of decisions made by city staff or citizen advisory groups, and appoints four Council Officers: a City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer, and City Clerk. Council members serve on several working committees, which include Transportation and Community Development, Law and Legislation, and Personnel and Public Employees. The Mayor and Council members receive an annual salary and benefits.
The City Council holds public meetings most Tuesday afternoons and evenings, at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. respectively, in the City Council Chamber on the first floor of City Hall, located at 915 I Street. The Council also holds special meetings and committee meetings, which are open to the public. Agendas for City Council and Council Committee meetings are available in the City Clerk’s Office, 1st Floor, in the Historic City Hall building. The Mayor and City Council Offices are located in City Hall on the fifth Floor.

Bikeway Maintenance
The Department of Transportation maintains bikeways in unincorporated Sacramento County
Bicycle Safety
The most common cause of bicycle accidents occur when bicycle riders travel on the wrong side of the road against traffic. Bicycle riders and automobile drivers follow the same rules and have the same rights. These rules include obeying traffic signals and signs. Be sure to use the proper safety equipment such as an approved bicycle helmet, bright clothing and safety goggles. Your bicycle should be equipped with the appropriate color reflectors. It is the law in California that when riding at night you have a white headlamp, attached to the bicycle or your body that can be seen from 300 feet to the front and from the sides and illuminates the road or bikeway in front of the bicyclists. (California
Planning a Bike Trip?
Before heading into uncharted territory for the first time consider doing the following for your safety: Drive the route in your car first with an eye on how it would be on a bike. If not possible, check the route using Google Streetview, or other online tools. Remember that conditions can change quite a bit from when the photos were taken. Try the new route for the first time on a Saturday or Sunday morning when traffic is light and you are not under time constraints. Ask other bicyclists what their favorite routes are and what to look out for.Try out the Sacramento Region Travel Info website and the online bicycle trip planner for suggested routes at http://www.sacregion511.org. Don’t take their word for it, check the route with steps 1 through 4.
