Meanwhile, Arden Arcade residents overwhelmingly defeated Measure D, the cityhood initiative, by more than 3-to-1. The incorporation advocates tried to use the City of Sacramento as a bogeyman, claiming
that if Measure D were defeated, the City would annex Arden Arcade without even giving the residents a chance to vote on it. Clearly this is not the intent of the City, and Mayor Johnson’s remarks at a press conference after the election should not be misconstrued to mean the City is now targeting Arden Arcade for annexation. I believe that the broader policy shared by the Mayor, City Council and management is that the City will work with the County to try to consolidate services, such as animal control, traffic control, drainage, building inspections, code enforcement, etc., wherever and whenever such consolidation can provide greater efficiencies, improved service, and/or reduced costs. However, the City will not seek to annex any unincorporated areas of the County without the support of the people who live there.
