SACRAMENTO, CA - Over the weekend, an aide to the mayor and Sacramento City Council sent reporters an email notifying them of an additional agenda item for Tuesday night's meeting.

That agenda item is extremely important in Sacramento's fight to keep the Sacramento Kings.

Council members, including Mayor Kevin Johnson, will vote whether or not to allow John Shirey, Sacramento's city manager, to begin formal negotiations to build a new arena.

That has to happen before Johnson can submit the city's counter-offer to the NBA to keep the Kings.

A staff report posted late Monday on the city's website further explains the city manager's plan, but offers little in the way of new information.

On the major investor or so-called "whale" front, the report refers to a Sacramento-based ownership group, but does not identify Johnson's deep-pocked investors.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Family and police search for a man who went missing Tuesday.

Mark Lauchli, 59, was last seen at his home on the 6900 block of McQuillan Circle after he left a note saying he was going to the American River, Sacramento police Officer Michele Gigante said.

UPDATE: Missing man’s body found in river near Sac State campus

Family told police that Lauchli was depressed when he left home and are worried about his wellbeing.

Gigante said Lauchli's car was found near La Riviera Drive and Howe Avenue later Tuesday.

Lauchli may be wearing a forest green long-sleeve shirt and glasses.

Anyone with information is urged to call police 911 or police dispatch at 916-264-5471.
