13. SUBJECT: Potential Annexation Work Plan
STAFF: C . Kempenaar/ R. Jones
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council review the staff presentation and provide direction to staff if future action is desired.

Com
munity Development Director Kempenaar shared a presentation for potential annexation options for Council to review. The general plan policy identifies a goal to make adequate land available for economic development opportunities. In order to discuss potential annexation, the city must work with the Sacramento County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to amend the City’s sphere of influence to allow for future expansion. LAFCO is a state created board to ensure the orderly formation of local governmental agencies, to preserve agricultural and open space lands, and discourage urban sprawl. Jose Henriquez with LAFCO further discussed the annexation process. The process is outlined as LAFCO holding a sphere of influence amendment hearing, a LAFCO approval hearing, and holding a protest hearing. Staff would perform an environmental review for any potential annexations, municipal service review, review associated costs, and lastly conduct a fiscal impact analysis. In 2006/2007, the City discussed two potential annexations with Sacramento County, Roseville Pointe/ Northwest reserve and the Greenback Gateway. Key findings from the previously discussed annexations showed a $100,000 annual deficit for Roseville Pointe and a $40,000 surplus if commercial property was included and developed as neighborhood commercial. The Greenback Gateway showed an annual deficit of $45,000 - $134,000. In order for land to be annexed, the City must demonstrate sufficient revenue is generated to serve the annexed land.

Jose
Henriquez with LAFCO discussed the voting process with council.

In M
ay 2022, Council directed staff to evaluate the next steps for potential annexation of Roseville Pointe, Dewey Drive/ Celtic Cross, and the Northwest corner of Fair Oaks Blvd and Madison. Kempenaar requested council to identify which properties they would like to explore annexation. Following direction, staff would conduct targeted outreach to those areas; conduct a preliminary fiscal impact analysis, and report findings to council.

Counc
il comments and discussion followed.

Counc
il directed staff to pursue discussion with Sacramento County, conduct outreach for potential annexations areas, conduct a preliminary Fiscal Impact Analysis and then report the findings to Council for the following locations: Greenback Gateway, Roseville Pointe including the commercial properties, Dewey Drive/Celtic Cross, and the Northwest corner of Fair Oaks Blvd./Madison Ave.

14. SUBJECT: Considerations and Options for Pavement Restoration Strategies STAFF: R. Cave/ L. Blomquist
RECOMMENDATION: Review the staff presentation and provide direction to staff to proceed with developing long term planning of citywide pavement restoration plans

General Services Director Cave reviewed the pavement restoration objectives as outlined during the strategic planning retreat. The pavement condition index (PCI) is a measurement of the pavement condition and ranges from zero to 100. The city’s existing PCI averages 51, which borders between fair and poor condition. The recommended approach is to program a minimum of 50% of anticipated funds to address arterial and collector streets. Funding will focus on corridors not identified as viable candidates for competitive grants and will prioritize locations that do not require extensive design or right of way acquisition. Priority locations may include; Antelope Road/ Garden Gate to Lauppe Lane, Dewey Drive/ Greenback Lane to Connemara Circle, Fair Oaks Blvd/ Greenback Lane to Madison Ave, Greenback Lane/ Birdcage to Dewey Drive, Madison Ave/ Fair Oaks to Highview Lane, and Sunrise Blvd/ Sungarden to Madison Ave. Staff would look to collaborate with Sacramento County for shared roadways.

Council comments and discussion followed.

Council supports staff’s recommendation to program a minimum of 50% of anticipated funds to address arterials and collectors, strategize to program streets by districts or neighborhoods to improve coordination with stakeholders, and focus efforts within neighborhoods to increase safety.

15. SUBJECT: Guideline Approval and Funding Allocation for the Community Projects Grant Program STAFF: M. Huber
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-098 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving the Community Projects Grant Program Guidelines and Associated American Rescue Plan Act Funding Allocation

Economic Development and Community Engagement Director Huber shared the program guidelines for the Community Projects Grant Program. The proposed grant program will provide grants to community groups to facilitate community projects that engage citizens, improve the community, and promote community involvement and pride. The intention of the grant program is to increase community connection and strengthen resident’s quality of life. Any 501c3, community group, or organization that is seeking funding to complete an activity or project to connect the community is eligible for grant funding. The grant program guidelines are designed to spark innovative, positive ideas that exist in Citrus Heights and provide residents with the means to enhance community engagement. The proposed program launch will include a 45-day online application period and will push out targeted marketing materials. Following the application period, staff will present vetted applications to the Finance Committee for review and recommendation; those recommendations will be presented to City Council for final approval. The pilot program will launch early 2023, with a recommended $50,000 allocation from American Rescue Plan Act funding.

Council comments and discussion followed.

Within the last 30 days (which vote may occur at that meeting) the legislative body has made the following findings by majority vote “(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency. (B) Any of the following circumstances exist (i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. (ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.”

Governor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect. It is important to note that neither AB 361 nor the attached resolution would require meetings be held in an all-virtual format. By adopting this resolution would allow a “hybrid” format where council members and staff participate either in person or remotely depending on their individual circumstances. Additionally, the hybrid formal allows the public to continue to participate remotely. Failing to adopt this resolution would require meetings to be held in-person under traditional Brown Act parameters (noticing the teleconference location, providing access to the public, etc.); adopting the resolution would give the flexibility as it moves forward with meetings.

If the City intends to conduct meetings remotely, it should add to every agenda a consent calendar item to reaffirm the findings described above, which are required to allow the remote meetings. This resolution also makes the necessary finings for all subordinate legislative bodies of the City, such as the Planning Commission, so these bodies can also continue to meet remotely on an ongoing basis.

BJECT: Planning Commission Rules and Regulations Handbook Update and Changing the Time of Regular Planning Commission Meetings Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2022-_____ a resolution of the City of Citrus Heights, adopting the updated Planning Commission Rules and Regulations Handbook and changing the start time for regular meetings of the Planning Commission.

Council Goal
This item supports the City Council three-year goal to enhance community vibrancy and engagement.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Background and Analysis
The Planning Commission Rules and Regulations Handbook governs the procedures and operations of the Planning Commission. On occasion, the document is updated to reflect changes in law or city procedures. In July 2022, the City Council began their newly adopted public meeting start time of 6 PM. This more convenient start time has increased the opportunities for the public to engage in the civic process. To further expand these opportunities and be consistent with the City Council, staff is recommending Planning Commission meetings move to a 6 PM start time. Staff presented the proposal to the Planning Commission at the August 10 th hearing
and the Planning Commission unanimously supported the time change. The new start time is proposed to start when the new commission is seated in January 2023.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

PLANNING COMMISSION RULES AND REGULATIONS

I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

The Planning Commission holds hearings in a public forum to review a multitude of projects related to land use planning for the city. The Planning Commission may also review proposed city ordinances; the annual Capital Improvement Plan; and other issues related to consistency with the General Plan.

This information handbook provides a summary of important aspects of the role and responsibility of a Planning Commissioner. It is intended to orient new Commissioners, serve as a point of reference in the event questions arise relating to the duties of a Commissioner, and set forth policies and procedures applicable to the Planning Commission. The handbook is not all inclusive, nor is it intended to supersede any local, state or federal laws. Where conflicts arise, local, state and federal law prevail.

Basic Planning Documents
Some of the most notable documents that contain information necessary for undertaking the business of the Planning Commission are listed below. All these documents are also available on the city’s Web site under the Community Development’s services area.

General Plan. The General Plan is a state mandated plan that is the foundation for local land use planning. The General Plan provides a vision for the future and translates it into goals and policies for the physical development of the community, and all actions of the Planning Commission must be consistent with the General Plan. Elements of the city’s General Plan are updated on a periodic basis.

Zoning Code. The Zoning Code carries out the policies of the Citrus Heights General Plan by classifying and regulating the uses of land and structures within the city, consistent with the General Plan. This Zoning Code is adopted to protect and to promote the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare of residents, and businesses in the city.

Stock Ranch Guide for Development. Stock Ranch Guide for Development (The Guide) implements the objectives and policies of the Citrus Heights General Plan by setting forth a vision, standards, and guidelines that will ensure high quality development of Stock Ranch. The Stock Ranch Guide for Development contains a land use concept, infrastructure and service plans, roadway improvements, design guidelines, and development regulations for approximately 129 acres of land.

The Boulevard Plan (Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan). This plan was prepared to help guide the revitalization and enhancement of Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and Interstate 80. This plan is a tool for the systematic implementation of the General Agenda Packet Page 18
-2-
Plan. This plan creates a bridge between the policies of the General Plan and individual development proposals.

Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan. This plan, adopted in December 2021, lays the groundwork for transforming the Sunrise Mall into a vibrant mixed-use community by introducing new land uses, increases the land area available for development, allows for flexibility so redevelopment can respond to economic trends, and provides environmental clearances for a streamlined permitting process.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP) . Each year, the city updates its five -year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a planning tool to prioritize and implement its short and long- term program of transportation, drainage, facilities, grant-funding, information technology and general purpose capital and maintenance projects. The CIP is updated during the winter and spring of each calendar year as a precursor to the development of the city's annual operating budget. In accordance with State Planning Law, The Planning Commission must make a finding that the CIP conforms with the General Plan.

II. RESPONSIBILITIES

The purpose of the Planning Commission is to act as an advisory body to the City Council on General Plan, Specific Plan, Zoning and other land use related policy areas; implement the development requirements of the city; and act as a forum for public participation in development projects.

The duties of the Planning Commission shall be those prescribed by the Government Code of the State of California (§65100 et seq.) and Ordinances and Resolutions adopted by the city. The Planning Commission’s duties and responsibilities shall include the following:

• Make recommendations to the City Council on General Plan, Specific Plan, Zoning and other land use policy/legislative areas.

• Take final action on certain Tentative Subdivision Maps, Tentative Parcel Maps, Design Review Permits, Tree Permits, Conditional Use Permits, Variances, and other entitlements and zoning interpretations as needed.

• Review and take action as necessary on other plans, ordinances, programs, procedures, and any other areas relating to land use decisions within the city’s purview.

• Determine the adequacy and consistency with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of environmental documentation of projects acted upon by the Planning Commission. For those projects requiring final action by the City Council, make recommendations regarding the adequacy and consistency with CEQA of the environmental documentation.

An agenda shall be prepared by the Planning Manager for each regular meeting of the Planning Commission and the posting of the agenda on the website mailing of the agenda shall serve as notification of the meeting. The general order of the Commission shall be as follows, and discussed further below:

1. Call meeting to order. and roll call.

2. Flag Salute.

2.3. Roll Call.

3.4. Consent Calendar.

4.5. Public Comment.

5.6. Public Hearings.

6.7. Regular Calendar.

7.8. Planning Manager Comments.Reports/Future Agenda Items.

8.9. Adjournment.

Consent Calendar. Those items on the agenda which are considered to be of a routine and non-controversial nature by the Planning Manager are placed on the “Consent Calendar”. These items shall be considered and may be approved by one motion of the Planning Commission. For example, meeting minutes are typically placed under the Consent Calendar.

Agenda Packet Page 22
-6-
Commissioners may request that any item listed under “Consent Calendar” be removed from the Consent Calendar, and the Commission will then take action separately on this item. A member of the public may request that an item listed under “Consent Calendar” be removed and the Commission action taken separately on the item; however, a majority of the Commission must concur with such a request. Items which are removed (“pulled”) by members of the Commission for discussion will typically be heard after other Consent Calendar items are approved unless the majority of Council chooses an earlier or later time.

Minor questions: A Commissioner may ask questions on any item on the Consent Calendar. When a Commissioner has a minor question for clarification concerning a consent item which will not involve extended discussion, the item may be pulled for clarification and the questions will be addressed along with the rest of the Consent Calendar. Commissioners are encouraged to seek clarifications prior to the meeting, if possible.

Correction of Minutes: Minutes of the Planning Commission meetings are submitted to the Commission for approval and/or correction in draft form. Commission Members having only typographical corrections to minutes are encouraged to provide such corrections to the Commission Secretary directly and need not wait to submit such corrections at a meeting.

Public Comment. At this time members of the public may address the Commission on any matter within the Commission’s jurisdiction, generally comments during this period relate to items that are not on that evening's agenda. Members of the public are requested to fill out a speaker slip for record-keeping purposes. Speaker slips are public records. The Chair shall inform the public of the 5-minute time allotment.

Comments should focus on a specific matter within the Commission’s jurisdiction with reasons for the position taken. Comments may be limited so that all have an opportunity to address the Commission. Normally, speakers are limited to five (5) minutes each with thirty (30) minutes being allowed for all comments. Any public comments beyond the initial thirty (30) minutes may be heard at the conclusion of the Agenda, if the Chair so desires. The Chair has the discretion to lengthen or shorten the allotted times. Any materials submitted during public comments (or for public hearings) become part of the public record and may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. This includes, but is not limited to PowerPoint presentations, videos, letters and photographs.

Public Hearings: The majority of the items under Planning Commission consideration require a Public Hearing. These items require the Commission to review the written public record and to hear and weigh public testimony during the public hearing before taking action. Hearings are noticed according to law by publication in the local newspapers and/or by mailed notices to property owners; and can be continued to any subsequent meeting. Public hearings should be “opened” and “closed” and reopened if necessary.

During a matter listed under "Public Hearing," the agenda item is introduced by the Chair or the Planning Commission Secretary, and then city staff provides an oral presentation of the item. Following the presentation by staff, the Commission has the opportunity to ask staff questions regarding the project. Following the staff presentation and Commission questions, the Chair “opens” the public hearing. The applicant/appellant is the first participant in the public hearing, and allowed time at the podium first if he/she desires. At the conclusion of the applicant/appellants’ presentation the Chair shall call members of the public to the podium who have completed a speaker sheet for that item.

Each person desiring to address the Commission shall approach the microphone, state his or her name for the record, state whom he or she represents if applicable, and unless further time is granted by Chair, shall limit his or her remarks to the time specified by the Chair. All remarks shall be addressed to the Commission as a whole and not to one particular member of the Commission, the audience or staff members.

No questions shall be asked of a Commission Member or a member of the city staff without obtaining permission of the presiding Chair. Members of the public are requested to fill out a speaker slip for record-keeping purposes. Speaker slips are public records.

In order to expedite matters and to avoid repetitious presentations, whenever any group of persons wishes to address the Commission on the same subject matter, it shall be proper for the Chair to inquire whether or not the group has a spokesperson and if so, that he/she be heard with the following speakers in the group to be limited to facts not already presented by the group spokesperson.

When materials are presented during public hearings, they should be submitted before the public hearing is closed on the item. Comments may be limited so that all have an opportunity to address the Commission. Normally, speakers are limited to five (5) minutes each. The Chair has the discretion to lengthen or shorten the allotted times.

Any materials submitted during public comments (or for public hearings) become part of the public record and may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. This includes, but is not limited to PowerPoint presentations, videos, letters and photographs.

Letters sent to the Commission in advance of a meeting, yet after the preparation of the agenda will be placed at the Commission’s position on the dais; and will be made available to the public “without delay” at the public counter in City Hall and available at the Planning Commission meeting for public review.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Chair shall "close" the public hearing. After public hearings are closed, no member of the public shall be permitted to address the Commission or the staff from the audience, except at the discretion of the Chair.

Agenda Packet Page 24
-8-
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission has the opportunity to discuss the project and then consider taking action on the agenda item.

Regular Calendar. Regular items are shown on the agenda in the order that they will be considered. At times, the Commission may decide to adjust the order of the agenda to better accommodate the public. Depending on the type of hearing, public testimony may be limited.

Planning Manager CommentsReports/Future Agenda Items. This time is used by staff to inform the Commission of upcoming meetings, conferences, and other items related to the Commission’s activities. Additionally, The purpose of this section of the meeting is to provide members of the Commission may use this this section an opportunity to introduce discussion on matters not currently before the Commission including brief announcements or questions of staff.

This time is also used by staff to inform the Commission of upcoming meetings, conferences, and other items related to the Commission’s activities.

VII. OFFICIAL RECORDS

The official records shall be on file in the Community Development Department’s office and shall be open to public inspection during customary working hours.

The Planning Commission Secretary shall keep summary minutes of its proceedings that shall show the vote on every question on which it acts. Roll call vote may be requested by any member of the Commission, or at the discretion of the Chair.

A copy of these Rules and Regulations and all amendments thereto shall be placed on permanent file in the office of the City Clerk within ten (10) days of adoption.

VIII. VOTING

When present, all Planning Commissioners are to vote. Failure of a seated Commissioner to orally express a vote constitutes an affirmative vote. This section does not require a Commissioner to participate when he/she is disqualified due to a conflict of interest.

Majority Vote. Except where otherwise provided by law, all business requiring approval of the Planning Commission shall be carried by a majority vote of all Commissioners who are present and are qualified to act.

If a motion to approve an action or a project fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, then the motion fails and the action or project is denied. Prior to the Commission taking up consideration of the next item on the agenda, however, any member of the Commission may move to reconsider the matter and, if the motion to reconsider Agenda Packet Page 25
-9-
receives a majority of the votes cast, the Commission shall either: a) take up the matter at that same meeting; or ii) continue the matter to a date certain.

If a motion to deny an action or project fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, then no action has occurred. The Commission can then consider an alternate motion or, if desired, continue the item to a subsequent meeting of the Commission.

Once a motion has been made and seconded, discussion should be limited to clarification on the motion only.

Tie Vote. A tie vote is equivalent to a motion which has failed. The Chair may publicly explain the effect of the tie vote for the audience or may direct a member of staff to do so.

Abstention. An abstention shall be where a Commission member, although qualified to vote on a motion chooses not to register his or her vote, and instead casts no vote whatsoever. A member who abstains is deemed to have acquiesced in the vote of the majority.

Conflict of Interest. A Commission member who is unable to participate in an item due to a conflict of interest shall, when the item is called: (1) declare that a Conflict of Interest exists, (2) state what the Conflict of Interest is, and (3) shall remove himself or herself from the dais during the discussion, and leave the room where the discussion is occurring. The Commission member’s removal and reason therefore shall be noted on the record by the Chair, who shall also note the member’s return when the item is concluded.

The City Attorney should be consulted if any questions arise regarding voting procedures and/or conflicts of interest. Due to the complexity of issues, it’s advisable to consult the attorney as early as possible to allow enough time for a proper decision.

IX. ATTENDANCE POLICY

Any Commissioner, who is absent three (3) consecutive meetings without cause; or 25% of meetings in a calendar year, shall forfeit his or her office. The Planning Commission Secretary shall certify such absences to the City Council, with a copy to the City Clerk. The Mayor shall follow up with a letter to the Commission member requesting the member either justify their absences and request a waiver to the attendance policy, or resign. If the member resigns, Council is notified and the Clerk begins the recruitment process to fill an unexpired term. If the absences are justified and a waiver is requested, or there is no response by the member, the item is listed in a subsequent City Council agenda for action.

It is the responsibility of each Commission member to notify city staff and the Chair of any upcoming absences as far in advance as possible.

Agenda Packet Page 26
-10-
X. CITY STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES

The Community Development Director shall keep a true and complete public record of the resolutions, transactions, findings, and determinations of the Commission. The Community Development Director may delegate certain duties to other city staff.

The Community Development Director shall keep a permanent record of the meetings of the Commission and shall cause to be made such public notices as required and in the manner prescribed by statute, ordinance or these Rules and Regulations, and to attend to all official correspondence of the Commission.

Upon appointment of new Planning Commissioners, the Community Development Director shall brief the new members on the general scope of city and regional planning and on the duties of the Commission.

The Community Development Director shall prepare for the Planning Commission all letters of transmittal to the City Council relative to zoning changes, General Plan changes, and other planning matters. It is the responsibility of the Community Development Director to keep the City Council informed of the activities of the Planning Commission.

City staff shall prepare projects for review by the Planning Commission which includes preparing the noticing and advertising public hearings; preparing the Commission agendas and minutes; preparing staff reports including the preparation of recommendations, findings, and conditions of approval, and presenting reports to the Planning Commission.

City staff shall review the building plans and perform site inspections during construction to ensure the project is developed as approved by the Planning Commission.

City staff shall provide information to the Planning Commission upon the CommissionsCommission’s request to the extent that the information is in a readily accessible form (published, report, etc.), the information is related to work which is identified in the work program for that fiscal year, or it directly relates to an agenda item.

Requests that require significant staff time to research or produce new reports must be approved by the City Council.

XI. PREEMPTION

All other by-laws and regulations pertaining to the transaction of business are hereby repealed and these rules and regulations shall be in effect immediately upon adoption.

Nothing in these Rules and Regulations shall be construed to supersede, repeal, or amend any applicable State or city statutes, ordinances or regulations. In the case of any apparent conflict, the State or city statute, ordinance or regulation shall control.

Agenda Packet Page 27
-11-
XII. CONFLICTS AND LIABILITY

Conflict of Interest. State laws are in place which attempt to eliminate any action by a Commissioner which may reflect a conflict of interest. The purpose of such laws and regulations is to ensure that all actions are taken in the public interest.

At any time a Commissioner believes a potential for conflict of interest exists, he/she should consult with the City Attorney for advice. Staff may also request an opinion from the City Attorney regarding a member's potential conflict. Laws which regulate conflicts are very complicated. Violations may result in significant penalties including criminal prosecution.

City Attorney Conflict Advice. It is critical to note that while the City Attorney can render advice on the interpretation of state laws and regulations on conflict matters, such advice is solely an interpretation of the law. The only authority that can provide binding interpretations on such matters, and legal protection for Commissioners, is the state Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). Commissioners may solicit opinions on such matters directly from the FPPC; however, such opinions often take time to develop and may not readily respond to urgent matters.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has published lengthy regulations and opinions on conflicts of interest that are useful in determining whether a particular financial interest or decision could give rise to disqualification based on a potential conflict of interest. The FPPC also puts out informational pamphlets to assist public officials in determining what types of situations may give rise to prohibited conflicts of interest. The FPPC can be reached at www.fppc.ca.gov
or (1-866-275-3772).

Conflict of Interest Forms. Commissioners must fill out annual disclosure statements identifying sources of income, ownership of property, and receipt of loans and gifts.

Liability. It is important to note that violations of certain laws and regulations by individual members of the Commission may result in that member being personally liable for damages which would not be covered by the city's insurance. Examples may include discrimination, harassment, or fraud.

Harassment. The city is committed to providing an environment that is free from harassment and discrimination of any kind, including sexual harassment and harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation or any other characteristic prohibited by state or federal law. Commissioners should be familiar with the city's sexual harassment policies. Violations of such policies may find Commissioners personally exposed through legal action. A copy of the city’s Non- Discrimination/Harassment Policy is included as Appendix A. Anti-harassment training is required every two years pursuant to AB 1825 and AB 1661.

Agenda Packet Page 28

XIII. OPEN MEETING LAW

Open Meeting Laws ("The Brown Act"). Operations and procedures of the city and Planning Commission incorporate requirements of the state’s open meeting law (commonly referred to as the Brown Act for former state legislator Ralph M. Brown).

Because this law is such an important part of local government operations, some specific requirements of the law are highlighted below for your information and future reference. Additional information on California’s open meeting law can be found in the book “Open & Public IV: A Guide to the Ralph M. Brown Act” which has been provided to you separately. Additional copies are available from the City Clerk’s office.

Applicability and Penalties: The entire city organization conducts its business in compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act, State Government Code Section 54950 et seq. The intent of the Act is to ensure that deliberation and actions of local public agencies are conducted in open and at public meetings. The law provides for misdemeanor penalties for members of a body who violate the Act (Cal Govt Code Section 54959). In addition, violations are subject to civil action (Cal Govt Code Section 54960). A current copy of the Act will be provided to all Commissioners when assuming office. The provisions that most directly affect the Commission are summarized below:

XVII. OTHER

Tips on the Dais. The City Council Chamber is equipped with a public address system.

The system provides microphones at the dais, staff table, and podium. There is also a hand-held microphone and a lapel microphone. Below are tipsThere are several issues related to the sound system which are important to keep in mind:

• Turn the microphone on when you want to talk and speak directly into the microphone;

• Turn the microphone off when you are through talking, during recesses, and after the meeting. The microphones are very sensitive and voices can be picked up from an adjacent microphone.

Agenda Packet Page 31
-15-
• Never say things near a microphone you do not want heard; and

• Have all speakers come forward to the podium. Do not allow people to speak from the audience.

Tape Recordings. All regular meetings of the Commission are videotaped. On occasion, due to circumstances beyond the city’s control, meetings may not be taped (e.g., due to equipment malfunction).

1. Introduction
The 2023 Action Plan presents an overview of the goals and projects for the upcoming program year (January 1, 2023-December 31, 2023) that will address the needs identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This plan will help address the community development and low-income housing needs within the City of Citrus Heights. The 2023 Action Plan covers year four of implementation of the City’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The City's Housing and Grants Division is responsible for implementing both the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan.

The City anticipates receiving approximately $600,000 in 2023 funds from the federal CDBG program.

The funding amount will be updated once the final award amount is released by HUD. In addition, the City has $270,960 in prior year CDBG funds that will be allocated to an eligible activity.

On July 1, 2022 City staff released the 2023 CDBG Notice of Funding Opportunity for applicants to apply for public service funding and to have the opportunity to demonstrate how an activity will benefit Citrus Heights residents. Additionally, City staff encourages citizen participation throughout the Action Plan process through strategies such as hosting a funding workshop for potential public service applicants, consulting local organizations, holding public meetings, and inviting public comment while the public has the opportunity to review the draft document.

Using research and input from the public, City staff formulated the objectives and outcomes briefly described below.

In addition, the City will provide loans/grants to homeowners for health and safety repairs, support nonprofits by offering a variety of social services, provided services to those experiencing homelessness, provide the Renters Helpline which fulfills the goal to affirmatively further fair housing, and to assist with accessibility and other public infrastructure improvements.

Staff in the General Services Department identified a need for accessibility improvements to public infrastructure, such as upgrades to signalized intersections and ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks. The Community Development Department identified a need to rehabilitate aging housing stock through the City's housing preservation programs. 2 Agency/Group/Organization Citrus Heights Collaborative Agenda Packet Page 55

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City will use federal block grant funding, program income, City general funds, and other incentive programs to address the objectives identified in this Plan. All capital improvement projects funded with CDBG have utilized other federal and state funding sources such as Measure A funds and Drainage funds, to complete design, engineering, and construction work that exceeds the Agenda Packet Page 66
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
23 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
City’s CDBG allocation for these projects. With respect to public services, the City requires all subrecipients to identify other resources that will be utilized during the program year to operate and implement CDBG supportive activities. For example, the City is utilizing its new PLHA annual funding to further leverage the City’s CDBG funding. The City is using PLHA funds to fund the Housing Counseling and Navigator Program, funds are being used for staff costs and essential housing services to assist those who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of becoming homeless. It is the City intent to ensure that adequate non-federal and private funds are available, thus minimizing the City’s dependence on federal funds.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City is currently in the pre-planning phase for proposed affordable housing units identified as the Sayonara affordable housing project.

Previously, the City purchased and demolished 15 duplexes and 1 eight-plex along Sayonara Drive with the intent of replacing them with a new affordable housing development. The City has previously invested CDBG funds in this neighborhood, specifically the Citrus Heights Children and Youth Center, and hopes to continue encouraging projects that increase residents’ access to public services.

The City has made efforts to 1) take the lead in the design, construction, and funding of public improvements; 2) improve the appearance of commercial districts; and 3) stimulate private investment. These efforts have included streetscape enhancement projects and a campaign to revitalize the Auburn Boulevard Specific Plan Area. The campaign included assisting business owners with improving their customer base, one- on-one consulting, and a variety of grants and fee waivers to assist the property and business owners along the Auburn Boulevard corridor.

Additionally, the City recently purchased a property at Sylvan Corners. In accordance with the Surplus Lands Act, a portion of the housing development will be restricted to low- and moderate-income homeowners. The City is currently working on developing an Affordable Housing Monitoring Program to be used in partnership with the City, Developer and Buyer on the affordable component of this project.

Discussion
As stated above, the City has demonstrated the utilization of land to address the City's Consolidated Plan needs, including to promote affordable housing and economic development in Citrus Heights.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction
The City participated in conducting the Sacramento Valley Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) which identified barriers to affordable housing:
• Segregation and integration: Segregation and lack of access to economic opportunity persists in many areas of the region, both within and across jurisdictions. Although the region has grown more diverse, the effects of past systemic segregation and exclusion in housing still disproportionately impact members of protected classes. • Disproportionate housing needs: In the Sacramento Valley region, the most disproportionate housing needs are found in homeownership rates, cost-burden and housing challenges, as well as displacement experience. • Access to opportunity: Access to economic opportunity varies by type of opportunity, across the region and within communities. Areas where jurisdictions differed from the region in access to opportunity include:
• With the exceptions of a few school districts (e.g., Davis, Rocklin, Roseville)—there are disparities in school quality between low and higher income neighborhoods, and these quality differences disproportionately impact people of color.

Residents of Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Sacramento, and Woodland are least likely to live in neighborhoods with proficient schools.
• Resident survey respondents living in Sacramento and Sacramento County tend to give the lowest ratings of healthy neighborhood indicators among the participating jurisdictions. • Public transportation issues—especially bus routes, availability of bus service, and connections between communities— are a pressing concern to residents throughout the region. The exception is on “the grid” in downtown Sacramento, where public transit is considered the best available in the region.

The primary housing barriers and the factors that contribute to those barriers identified in the research conducted for the AI include:

• The harm caused by segregation is manifest in disproportionate housing needs and differences in economic opportunity. • Affordable rental options in the region are increasingly limited. • Residents with disabilities need for and lack access to affordable, accessible housing. • Stricter rental policies further limits options.

Agenda Packet Page 81
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Disparities in the ability to access homeownership exist. • Public transportation has not kept up with growth.
• Educational inequities persist in the region.
• Disparities in labor market engagement exist.
• Residents with disabilities lack access to supportive services and a spectrum of housing options to enable them, especially those with mental illness, achieve and maintain housing stability.

The AI includes the following solutions to address the contributing factors discussed above. The participating partners focused on strategies that:
• Increase homeownership rates among under-represented groups. • Expand affordable rental opportunities.
• Focus on a range of equity issues in accessing opportunity.

The City has identified barriers to affordable housing throughout the City's Housing Element. Notable barriers to developing affordable housing include:
• The balance between owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing and the preservation and maintenance of the City’s aging housing stock.
• As suburbs mature with an aging housing stock, both single-family homes and apartment complexes in Citrus Heights face an increasing need to maintain.
• Land availability and land zoned at densities appropriate for multi-family housing. • Environmental factors such as floodplains and native oak trees. • Availability of funding.
• Design guidelines, which control the appearance of new development. Due to the requirements, the cost of building new housing may increase.
• Site improvements, development impact fees, and processing fees add significant cost to the developing new housing. Developers often pay for new roadways, sewer, water, and park facilities, along with other miscellaneous fees. There are also costs associated with getting Agenda Packet Page 82
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
39 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
projects approved by the City and other agencies.
• Permit and approval process. In addition, the cost of fees on new projects, the amount of time required to process them varies by project, and the developer generally must pay holding costs, such as property taxes during the time of assessment.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment The City will continue to promote infill, reduce regulatory and economic barriers to infill, and support new transportation options.

Discussion
Staff will continue to seek grant funding and ways to maintain and develop affordable housing. More information is available in the City’s Housing Element which was updated in 2021 and incorporated into the City General Plan adopted on August 11, 2011 which is available online at Housing Element | Citrus Heights, CA - Official Website (civicplus.com).

AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of target-income residents, the primary obstacle is the lack of funding to fully address all needs. Economic challenges in recent years forced many nonprofits to cut services.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The economic challenges in recent years have forced many nonprofits to cut services at a time when government and other entities are least able to provide them. There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds; however, the City has maintained a commitment to provide local funding to nonprofits despite other budget cuts when possible.

Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that many more services are located outside Citrus Heights in the City of Sacramento or parts of Sacramento County closer to the urban core. Citrus Heights works closely with the regional transit agencies to improve access. There are several daily public transportation linkages between Citrus Heights and downtown Sacramento.

Another obstacle is the City’s lack of vacant land available for development. The City will focus heavily on the preservation of the existing housing stock through the Home Repair Program.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In 2023, the City will continue to offer a variety of programs to foster and maintain affordable housing such as:

The Home Repair Program will offer low-interest loans/grants to homeowners making health and safety repairs to their homes. This program will be funded using loan repayments and prior year funds.

The City’s Code Enforcement Division will continue to support the Rental Housing Inspection Program, to assure low-income households have a safe and decent place to live.

The City approved an affordable permanent supportive housing project, Sunrise Pointe Apartments. The City approved the project in 2018 and allocated $3,580,000 of the City’s share of HOME Consortium funds to the 47-unit project planned for Sunrise Boulevard in Citrus Heights. This project is proposed to be completed by the end of 2022.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
While most housing units were built prior to 1978, target income households that may contain lead- Agenda Packet Page 84
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
41 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
based paint occupy an estimated 5,312 units. The City will provide lead-abatement assistance for residential units through the Home Repair Program. The City contracts with a third-party firm to administer its Home Repair Program.

The City contracts with Michael Baker, International to administer the City’s Home Repair Loan Program.

Michael Baker International staff is qualified to evaluate lead-based paint hazards and implement lead- safe work practices. In addition, independent contractors are vetted through the City’s Home Repair Program to develop the appropriate lead hazard reduction plans and or abatement scopes of work. The programs will comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) and subsequent changes in September 1999. The procedures regarding lead-based paint in all repair programs will include notification and identification.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The City’s anti-poverty strategy is based on providing a range of supportive services aimed at enabling those in poverty to move into the workforce or obtain benefits to which they are entitled (social security, disability). During the 2023 program year, Sacramento Self-Help Housing will provide housing counseling and supportive services to clients who are at-risk of homeless or experiencing homelessness.

The City will also continue to support activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing affordable to low-income households.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City’s Housing and Grants Division is responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the Consolidated Plan documents, including the Annual Action Plan. The Housing Division works in close consultation with the Community Development Director, Finance Department, General Services Department, Citrus Heights Collaborative, and advisory committees.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to work with the neighboring jurisdictions, such as the County and the City of Sacramento and Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of low-income persons as well as special needs populations. The City will also continue to work with many of the local nonprofits that provide a range of services to low-income Citrus Heights residents. In addition, the City plans to work with other entitlement jurisdictions in the Sacramento County, City of Elk Grove, and City of Rancho Cordova to research issues of interest to all jurisdictions Agenda Packet Page 85
Draft Annual Action Plan
2023
42 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and to coordinate on shared subrecipient monitoring.

Discussion
The City has a number of actions planned to increase coordination among housing and social services agencies. For example, City staff facilitates the Citrus Heights Collaborative - an informal network of public and private social service agencies and community advocates. The Collaborative meets the second Friday of each month. In addition, City staff participates on the Continuum of Care Advisory Board and regional Funder's Collaborative.

BJECT: Amendment to Chapter 98, Utilities, of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code Summary and Recommendation
On J
anuary 1, 1997, the City of Citrus Heights incorporated as a self-governing city under California law. Since incorporation, the city has not had an ordinance authorizing the City Council to establish underground utility districts. An underground utility district is a geographic area within which overhead utilities are required to be installed underground and utility poles removed. Prior to establishing an underground utility district, the City Council must first be authorized by the municipal code to create such a district.

Th
e proposed action will amend Chapter 98, Utilities, of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code to grant the City Council authority to establish underground utility districts by resolution following notice to affected property owners and a public hearing.

St
aff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing and introduce for first reading, read by title only, and waive the full reading of Ordinance 2022-_____, as shown in Attachment 1, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights amending Chapter 98 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (Utilities Section) to include Article VI, Underground Utilities District.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with this action to amend the municipal code. As it relates to fiscal impacts associated with underground utility districts (UUD), impacts will vary on a case by case basis and be brought before the City Council at the time said UUDs are established.

Background and Analysis
On J
anuary 1, 1997, the City of Citrus Heights incorporated as a self-governing city under California law. Since incorporation, the city has not had an ordinance authorizing the City Council to establish underground utility districts. A UUD is a geographic area within which overhead utilities are required to be installed underground and utility poles removed.

Item 13
Agenda Packet Page 97
Subject: Amendment to Chapter 98, Utilities, of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code Date: October 13, 2022

Page 2 of 2 ends

While the Citrus Heights Municipal Code includes provisions requiring undergrounding of utilities associated with development on private property, it does not include an ordinance requiring or authorizing such for the public right of way.

General Plan Chapter 10, Achieve Attractive, Inviting, and Functional Corridors, includes Policy

10.10, which states, “require undergrounding of utility lines and removal of utility poles where feasible.” The General Plan further sets forth action items to accomplish this purpose, including:

A. Enact an ordinance requiring undergrounding of all new utility connections.

B. Work with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to provide financing mechanisms for undergrounding.

In 2013, the city completed undergrounding of overhead utility lines on Auburn Boulevard between Sylvan Corners and Rusch Community Park, however, a UUD was not created at that time. This decision was based upon a study session with the City Council in February 2009 in which staff indicated that the City’s capital improvement project was funding a portion of the undergrounding effort that might normally be funded by impacted property owners, and as such, creation of a UUD was not necessary.

Currently, the city is finalizing plans for the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project – Phase 2 which will underground utilities on Auburn Boulevard between Rusch Park and the northern City limits. At the present time, utility providers are requiring the City Council establish a UUD to ensure future utility installations are located underground along the Auburn Boulevard corridor. Prior to establishing a UUD, the City Council must first be authorized by the municipal code to create such a district. Of note is that staff propose the City Council consider creation of a UUD on Auburn Boulevard at the October 27,
2022 meeting. Should the City Council pass the proposed ordinance, creation of UUDs would be considered on a case by case basis. Staff would return before the City Council each time a new UUD is proposed.

The proposed amendment to Chapter 98, Utilities, of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code will authorize the City Council to establish UUDs by resolution following notice to affected property owners and a public hearing.

BJECT: Maintenance and Enhancement Strategy to Identify Centerline Miles of Roadways in Need of Restriping and Minor Roadway Repairs
Summary and Recommendation
At
the May 10, 2022 Strategic Planning Meeting, the City Council established an objective to present a maintenance and enhancement strategy to identify centerline miles of roadways in need of restriping and other minor roadway repairs. This staff report is intended to serve as a discussion item for the City Council’s consideration and opportunity for the Council to provide direction.

St
aff recommends Council review the staff report and receive a staff presentation. Staff will answer questions and return with specific recommendations at a later date as part of the next two year budget.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact related to this action. In the 2022/2023 FY budget, $75,000 are budgeted to support striping and pavement legend marking services citywide. Additionally, $350,000 are programmed in Measure A Maintenance funds to support pothole repairs and minor pavement restoration, however a portion of these funds also support sidewalk repairs to address trip hazards.

Background and Analysis
At

This staff report is intended to serve as a discussion item for the City Council’s consideration and opportunity for the Council to provide direction.

Th
e City’s updated Pavement Maintenance Program calculates the City’s street network to consist of approximately 236.8 centerline miles, and 461.8 lane miles. Arterials and collectors make up approximately 24.6% and 13.5% of the city’s paved network, respectively, and account for a majority of the city’s pavement restriping needs in terms of lane line, fog line, bike lane and cross walk restriping. Citywide, there are 67 signalized intersections, most of which include numerous striped Item 15

crosswalks to maintain. Additionally, within our network, the city has approximately 850 stop signs, most of which are within our residential neighborhoods, with each location requiring maintenance of a striped stop bar and STOP legend pavement marking. Presently, the city does not have an accurate inventory of existing pavement markings, striped lanes, crosswalks or stop bars/legends, however, based on the total network of assets, there are approximately:

• 105.7 centerline miles (200 lane miles) citywide of striped traffic lanes • 67 signalized intersections (including crosswalks)
• 28,800 linear feet of stop bars (pavement stripe)
• 18,700 square feet of STOP legends

Based upon the estimated centerline miles listed above, as well as the stop bar markings and legends, and utilizing the city’s existing striping maintenance bid pricing, the approximate costs for these items are as follows:
• 105.7 centerline miles (200 lane miles) of lane restriping - $1,584,000 • 67 signalized intersections (including crosswalks) - $205,000 • 28,800 linear feet of stop bar markings - $122,400
• 18,700 square feet of STOP legends - $112,000

The numbers reflected above include all major roadways, however, there are numerous segments of the city’s arterial network that have been reconstructed or restriped in recent years, and therefore application of new lane striping and crosswalks may not needed at this time. While it is generally ideal to perform striping maintenance on pavement that is in satisfactory condition in order to achieve optimum results and for longevity, a majority of our network will not be resurfaced in the next 3-5 years. With an aging population and the need to increase safety for all users of our roadways, it is necessary to prioritize the city’s striping program citywide. In addition to increasing safety, maintaining pavement striping and markings also provides an aesthetic benefit to the overall network.

While the exiting annual budget of $75,000 is not sufficient to address all of the city’s pavement restriping needs, in response to City Council’s recent direction for long term pavement restoration strategies, there is an opportunity to increase output of striped roadways while utilizing existing and anticipated future funding. Additionally, as part of staff’s strategy to accurately identify centerline striping needs, crosswalks and stop legends/stop bars, staff are working with a consultant to extrapolate data that was collected as part of the Pavement Management System project. The data and imagery collected will be provided as a Geographic Information System (GIS) layer and database of inventory which will providing details on existing conditions, and generate more accurate estimates for maintenance.

As presented to the City Council in September, the city’s overall pavement condition continues to decline. However, in anticipation of increased funding tentatively programmed beginning in fiscal year 2023/2024 to support street resurfacing efforts, additional focus is also needed on pothole repairs and minor pavement restoration. The existing budget for pavement maintenance (pothole repairs, minor restoration) is $350,000 per fiscal year based upon available transportation funds, and generally also supports sidewalk repairs to help address severe trip hazards. Based upon recurring areas of concern along all classifications of city roadways (arterials, collectors and residential), historical Agenda Packet Page 117

expenditures related to pavement repairs, rising costs for asphalt, and the anticipated cycle in which streets will receive extensive resurfacing, it will be necessary to increase the city’s budget for pothole repairs in the next budget cycle. By increasing routine repairs with a long term approach, and coordinating these repairs in advance of restriping efforts, the overall safety and functionality of the city’s network will improve.

There is no action needed for this item. Further discussion or goals related to this item may be determined at the next Strategic Planning Meeting. Additionally, staff will return at later date to report on the findings of the striping data collect and will make recommendations for an approach to addressing the city’s pavement striping needs.

BJECT: Considerations and Options for Sound Wall Repair and Beautification Summary and Recommendation
At
the May 10, 2022 Strategic Planning Meeting, the City Council established an objective to evaluate options for sound wall repair and beautification. This staff report is intended to serve as a discussion item for the City Council’s consideration and opportunity for the Council to provide direction.

St
aff recommends Council review the staff report, receive a staff presentation and provide direction to staff.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact related to this action, however, there may be future fiscal impacts depending on the direction of the City Council. At this time, there are no funds programmed for this action. A potential source of funds for this one-time investment could be American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The estimated costs for the effort described in the staff report is approximately $145,000.

Background and Analysis
At
the May 10, 2022 Strategic Planning Meeting, the City Council established an objective to evaluate options for sound wall repair and beautification. This staff report is intended to serve as a discussion item for the City Council’s consideration and opportunity for the Council to provide direction.

With
in the City of Citrus Heights, there are various sound wall segments separating residential neighborhoods from arterial roadways. Over the years, many of these walls have been targets for graffiti and in some cases have been damaged by vehicle accidents. What staff have determined over the years is that most of these older walls, having been constructed prior to the City’s incorporation, are privately owned in that the County did not condition the developers to construct and dedicate the walls as public assets. Since incorporation, most new sound walls have either been constructed by the City as part of a Capital Improvement Project, or have been constructed by developers and dedicated to the City to own and maintain, either directly or as part of the an assessment district.

Item 16

Privately owned sound walls around the city pose a challenge for repairing and enhancing. Often, the property owners are not aware the wall segment behind their residence is their responsibility and repairs may be cost prohibitive. Additionally, many of the old sound walls are prefabricated, making it difficult to find contractors or masonry workers to repair or replace the damaged panels and columns.

The General Services Department responds to reports of graffiti on private sound walls facing the public right of way in an effort to deter illicit activity. With sound walls facing the city’s public right of way, and often serving as a gateways into the community and surrounding neighborhoods, there may be an opportunity to invest local funds to achieve an acceptable level of uniformity around the city by enhancing the appearance of these existing walls.

City wide, there is approximately 14,000 linear feet of privately owned sound wall segments that are exposed – meaning not covered by ivy or other vegetation as a means of protecting and deterring from graffiti – that face the public right of way. There are various materials, heights, and conditions of each of these walls, and some have been extended vertically by the owners for increased privacy. As discussed at the May 10, 2022 Strategic Planning Retreat, City Council and staff expressed a desire to increase the aesthetics of the city’s corridors, particularly in areas not immediately programmed for major capital improvements. In the future, some existing privately owned sound walls may be considered for replacement as part of larger complete streets projects, however, this is not the case for a majority of the existing sound walls in question.

As mentioned above, the existing walls are of various materials, however most are either concrete block, prefabricated panels, or monolithic, and have been painted before. While most of the walls are somewhat solid or free of significant visible damage, there are numerous locations where repairs have not been made and damages still exist. There is a risk in the city assuming any level of responsibility for structural repairs, as the extent of damages is unknown. However, a more simple approach, such as pressure washing and painting, may help to achieve visual uniformity throughout the community.

Based upon the estimated cumulative linear feet of privately owned sound walls, and in working with a local contractor, many of the walls could be effectively improved from washing and repainting. The total anticipated cost to repaint the estimated 14,000 linear feet of privately owned sound walls is approximately $145,000. This number is based on various factors, such as estimated average height of the walls, traffic control, pressure washing, and anticipated paint coverage. This approach could also help improve the city’s efforts for long term graffiti abatement by utilizing similar pallets of colors citywide.

As a result of Council’s direction on this item, staff will coordinate to have each sound wall location evaluated to identify conditions, determine best approach, and proceed with developing a Request for Proposals. Additionally, outreach and coordination with each of the effected owners for the private wall segments would be necessary.
