MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Michael Wells, Lieutenant, Citrus Heights Police Department Nicole Garing, Lieutenant, Citrus Heights Police Department SUBJECT: AB 481- Annual Renewal of Military Equipment Policy for the Police Department and Review of Annual Report
Summary and Recommendation
Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481) requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body, via adoption of a “military equipment” use policy by ordinance prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. City Council adopted the Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) Military Equipment Use Policy on May 12, 2022, via Ordinance 2022-005.
AB 481 requires CHPD to submit to City Council an annual military equipment report (Annual Report) within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. AB 481 also requires CHPD to release the Annual Report to the public and hold a community engagement session for members of the public to ask questions regarding the Annual Report and CHPD’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. AB 481 requires the City Council to annually renew the Military Equipment Use Policy if it finds that the use of the equipment item complied with the standards of approval as set forth in Ordinance 2022-005.
CHPD provided the Annual Report, attached hereto as Attachment 1, to City Council on May 9, 2023, and released it to the public on May 10, 2023. CHPD held a community engagement session on Monday, May 22, 2023. Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-___, renewing the Police Departments Military Equipment Use Policy.
Fiscal Impact
There are no new fiscal impacts associated with this action.
ITEM 6
Subject: AB 481 Military Equipment Policy and Annual Report Renewal Date: May 25, 2023
Printed on Recycled Paper
Background and Analysis
The term “military equipment”, as used in AB 481, in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers and flashbangs.
CHPD is committed to using the most up to date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Citrus Heights. Many of the items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are in fact employed by CHPD, and LEA’s across the country, in order to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter.
CHPD compiled an Annual Report, Attachment 1, consisting of the following items:
(1) A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use. (2) A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
(3) The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment use policy, and any actions taken in response. (4) The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual military equipment report. (5) The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment. (6) If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
The police department has successfully maintained its military equipment in accordance with AB 481, Government Code section 7072(a), and Citrus Heights Police Lexipol Policy 708.

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Delegation of Authority to the City Engineer to Abandon Easements for Public Purposes, Pursuant to California Streets and Highway Code 8553(a)(2)
Summary and Recommendation
In order to be more responsive to city resident requests and building permit applications, the General Services Department is requesting the Council grant the City Engineer authority to abandon or vacate easements that no longer serve the original intent or public necessity. This best practices action will minimize the procedural hurdles of vacating easements that no longer serve the public good as many easements were established during the City’s early development and are no longer consistent with the City’s General Plan.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, to delegate authority to the City Engineer to be empowered to abandon existing easements, deeds, or setback restrictions conveying any interest in or an easement upon real estate on behalf of the City of Citrus Heights, and authorizing the City Clerk or designee to record abandonments.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
Background and Analysis
California Streets and Highway Code 8335(a)(2) allows delegation of authority if authorized by resolution. CA Streets and Highway Code Section 8335(A)(2) states “the legislative body may delegate the authority to vacate a public service easement to any public officer or employee otherwise qualified to prepare easements or approve parcel maps or final maps as defined in Title ITEM 7
Subject: Delegation of Authority to the City Engineer to Abandon Easements for Public Purposes Date: May 25, 2023
Printed on Recycled Paper
7 of Division 2 of the Government Code, pursuant to the authority provided in this chapter by recordation of a document containing the information in subdivision (b).
If an existing public service easement is determined to no longer serve the original intent or has never been utilized for its stated purpose or is not consistent with the City’s General Plan, the City Council has the sole authority to vacate or abandon the easement.
This resolution delegates authority to the City Engineer to vacate or abandon existing easements on behalf of the City in an attempt to exempt minor developments from the time constraints associated with the City Council process, and provide government efficiencies to residents and businesses on time sensitive matters. Delegation of this authority is considered a best practice and has been done in other jurisdictions throughout the State. This delegation is specific to vacating or abandoning existing easements and would not result in any other matters within the City Council’s purview to be removed. This resolution will also grant authority to the City Clerk (or designee) to record the abandonment providing a “checks and balances” approach to the process by not authorizing a single officer or agent of the city to act solely in the matter.

Request for Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PLN-23-06) Summary and Recommendation
A Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) offers the City Council the ability to approve or deny alcohol license applications when a census tract area is considered “overconcentrated” by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). Humle Beer House is proposing to locate at 7086 Auburn Boulevard, within a census tract (81.36) that ABC has determined can only allow three on-sale establishments without being considered overconcentrated. As shown in Attachment 1, eight on-sale locations are currently within census tract
81.36 (seven restaurants and one bar).
Humle Beer House is requesting an alcohol license (Type 42-on-sale beer/wine) to operate their proposed brew pub. Their proposal is to serve locally crafted beer in a casual, family-friendly environment. No food is proposed to be served as of yet, however food will be allowed from other businesses. If approved, Humle Beer House will be the first taproom in the City and fulfill a goal to attract this type of business.
Although the census tract has eight on-sale locations, seven are restaurants. Only one of the onsale locations is a bar, located approximately 1.2 miles from the subject location. There are no other current on-sale locations within the immediate vicinity of the proposed taproom. Therefore, the granting of the PCN will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the City and has been reviewed by the Police Department (see Attachment 3) with no identifiable concerns.
ITEM 8
Staff recommends the following Motion:
Move to approve the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow the issuance of a Type 42 alcohol license for the sale of beer and wine at Humle Beer House located at 7086 Auburn Boulevard.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective:
Goal: Diversify for a resilient economy
Fiscal Impact
As the tenant space is currently vacant, there is a reasonable expectation of a positive fiscal impact associated with this action due to increased sales tax from a new business in the space.
Background and Analysis
Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN)
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires an applicant to obtain a letter of “public convenience and necessity” (PCN) from the affected jurisdiction (the City of Citrus Heights) because the area is deemed “over concentrated” by ABC standards. Over concentration is based on the number of existing licenses within each census tract with a maximum number assigned per tract. The applicant is required to obtain a “letter of public convenience” from the City Council because the number of alcohol licenses in the area exceeds ABC’s standards (one per 2,000 capita). As part of their request, the applicant has to demonstrate the alcohol license request would serve the public’s convenience and necessity.
Chapter 6 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regulates the issuance of “letters of public convenience”. In essence, the Chapter outlines a process by which a variety of departments and agencies review applications for “letters of public convenience”. Department review is related to current and past problems at the location, including criminal activity, building code violations, business license renewal, zoning approval, health violations, zoning enforcement, and complaints to the ABC.
Each department reviews the application and can recommend denial of the application based on problems with the site. The City Council is not obligated to approve the license request even if the business has not violated any department’s provisions. While Chapter 6 contains standards for reviewing departments to recommend denial of an application of this type, it does not contain any standards for approving such applications and determining that the “public convenience and necessity” standard is met. There are no criteria for spacing of these uses or other limitations found within the Code. The Council has the full discretion to approve or deny the “Letter of Public Convenience” request.
ITEM 8
Project Description
Humle Beer House is a new craft taproom use and will be the first ever within the City of Citrus Heights. The center is part of the Auburn Boulevard Special Plan Area (SPA) and has a General Plan designation of General Commercial (GC). These land use designations allow for tap room/brewpub uses by right.
The brewpub will provide up to 22 taps of craft beer from around the greater Sacramento Area for on- and off-site consumption. The brewpub is proposed to be open Monday through Thursday from 12:00pm to 8:00pm, Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00am to 9:00pm, and Sundays from 11:00am to 8:00pm. Noise will be limited to inside the taproom, with all music to be played as “background noise” with no amplified sound according to the application description (Attachment 2). They do not propose to serve any food on-site at opening, however food will be allowed to be brought on-site from other nearby restaurants.
Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Analysis
Based on an analysis of the surrounding ABC licenses, staff determined there are a total of eight on-sale licenses within Census Tract 81.36. Seven are restaurant uses, which are exempt from the public hearing process of a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity, and only one is a bar.
There are no other on-sale establishments within the immediate vicinity (1/2-mile) of the subject location that are not restaurants.
As required by Chapter 6 of the Municipal Code the Police Department has reviewed the request to provide on-sale beer and wine. The Police Department reviewed the proposed location, as well as the site design and lighting. Calls for service were analyzed as outlined in Attachment 2 and the Police Department does not object to the issuance of the Letter of Public Convenience for this location.
Public Outreach
As part of the City’s outreach program staff informed both the Rusch Park (#2) and Arcade Creek (#4) Neighborhood Associations of the request for a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity. As of the writing of this report no response has been received from the Neighborhood Associations or any other party.

Statement of Justification
To the City of Citrus Heights Council,
We look forward to bringing a craft beer taproom to the city of Citrus Heights. Our establishment will bring new and excited clients to your area in search of a casual place to enjoy local craft beer from around the greater Sacramento area.
We will be looking to incorporate an outdoor patio/seating area that will be enclosed based on state and county guidelines. Our businesses focus is on creating strong customer satisfaction and maintaining high quality standards with regards to alcohol safety and awareness.
Our business hours reflect our goals in creating a healthy environment of enjoying craft beer without the hassle and headache of creating “just another bar”. Music will be provided inside our establishment with a tasteful volume and no amplified sound of any kind, better put as simply background noise. We hope to establish a strong reputation for growth not only in our business but for the community as well in the form of jobs and consumers.
We have recognized the lack of an establishment of this depth with regards to craft beer in the Citrus Heights area. We have had a lot of excitement from residents regarding our opening of such an establishment in the area. We have also had excitement from some city officials as well.
In short we hope to fulfill everything and more with regards to service and quality to bring growth and abundance to the Citrus Heights community!

Special Services Division - CHPD
SUBJECT: Humle Beer House – 7086 Auburn Blvd: Letter of Public Convenience The Citrus Heights Police Department has reviewed the proposed Letter of Public Convenience or Necessity for the Humle Beer House brewpub at 7086 Auburn Blvd. The review process included an external inspection of the proposed brewpub, a review of surrounding businesses with alcohol licenses, a CPTED evaluation, and an analysis of calls for service for 7086 Auburn Blvd.
The inspection process included a review of businesses nearby and found one convenience/liquor store with alcohol licenses in the immediate area.
The proposed location of the brewpub within an existing retail center is satisfactory regarding environmental design and lighting. Several other tenants within the center operate as compatible uses, including restaurants, a nail salon, a Starbucks drive-thru, and a credit union. The store has yet to be opened for business. However, it will be well-lit, with bright lights near the entrance and exits. The parking lot will have lighting in numerous and strategic areas to ensure security during nighttime hours.
The interior of the brewpub will be brightly lit. Shrubbery and vegetation will be trimmed and maintained to ensure natural surveillance of the property.
We will ask that the security plan for the brewpub mirror that of the other uses in the center, which is consistent with the general security plans and practices of other similar restaurant uses that sell alcohol.
Employees will be required to ask for identification of customers to ensure they are of legal drinking age before they serve alcohol. Additionally, employees will receive training in current alcohol licensing laws.
An analysis was conducted of calls for service to 7086 Auburn Blvd. There appeared to be no noticeable trends or an above-average number of calls to the location compared to other similar businesses in Citrus Heights.
The Citrus Heights Police Department is open to approving a beer and wine license for the proposed Humle Beer House brewpub to be located at 7086 Auburn Blvd.

Subject: Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Biennial Budget Adoption Date: May 25, 2023
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
City staff develop revenue estimates with input from outside expert opinion from a variety of sources that include the City’s sales tax and property tax consultants HdL Coren & Cone (HdL), and Sacramento County. The baseline assumptions incorporate these various information sources and analytical methods and take into account national, state, and local economic conditions as well as legislative and development factors.
The General Fund has several revenue sources, including five (5) major categories: Sales Tax, Property Tax, Utility Users’ Tax, Motor Vehicle in lieu and Licenses and Permits. Together, these five (5) categories amount to over 82% of total General Fund Revenues.
Taxes and Franchises - Sales tax accounts for approximately 34% of the General Fund's annual operating revenues, making it the largest source of revenue. Projected sales tax revenue total $14.4 million, which is $651,807 over FY 2022-23 and an additional $311,918 in FY 2024-25.
Intergovernmental – Intergovernmental revenue predominately includes Motor Vehicle-in-Lieu (Vehicle License Fee): Established in 1935 as a uniform statewide tax, the Vehicle License Fee (VLF) is a tax on the ownership of a registered vehicle in place of taxing vehicles as personal property. By law, all revenues from the VLF fund city and county services, but the state legislature controls the tax rate and the allocation among local governments. In 2004, the Legislature permanently reduced the VLF tax rate and eliminated state general fund backfill to cities and counties. Instead, cities and counties now receive additional transfers of property tax revenues in lieu of VLF. The property tax-in-lieu of VLF amount changes annually based on each agency’s gross taxable value and is projected to increase by $1.4 million in FY 2023-24 and an additional $488,488 in FY 2024-25.
Property Tax - The City is a “no/low property tax” jurisdiction, receiving only 8.4 cents from every property tax dollar paid. The City began receiving property tax in 2023. Most of the property tax paid by the City’s residents goes to the County of Sacramento, San Juan Unified School District, Sac Metro Fire, and community college districts. Property tax is the third largest General Fund revenue source, representing about 18% of General Fund revenues. This category is projected to experience a net taxable value increase of $959,484 for the 2023-24 and an additional $328,017 in FY 2024-25.
Licenses and Permits -Licenses and Permits include building permits, zoning permits, plan checks, and other home improvement permits. The City issues these licenses to ensure that activities being carried out within the City to comply with local laws, regulations, and safety standards. Revenue from licenses and permits was is projected at $1.5 million, a slight decrease from prior years due to less activity, in FY 2023-24 and an additional $44,908 in FY 2024-25.
Other Revenues – Other revenues account for approximately 5% of the General Fund income and consist of various sources, including Fines and Forfeitures, Use of Money, Revenues from Other Agencies, Fees for Services, State Grants, Cost Reimbursements, and Interest Incomes. The category is anticipated to decrease by $2,812,202 in FY 2023-24 compared to FY 2022-23 amended budget and increase by $58,757 in FY 2024-25 compared to FY 2023-24. The decreases are primarily due to one-time revenues in FY 2022-23, such as adopted allocation ARPA funds to restore Police Department staffing to pre-pandemic levels. The projections for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 align more with the actual revenues of the previous fiscal years, excluding the onetime revenues in FY 2022-23.

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
Based on the City’s strategic priorities and established guiding principles, the FY 2023- 25 Biennial Budget was developed using thoughtful and fiscally responsible balancing measures to provide exceptional services to our community and ensure ongoing attention to city infrastructure.
The General Fund has a proposed operating budget of $39,803,048 for FY 2023-24 and $41,299,430 for FY 2024-25. This amount includes $38,693,048 in ongoing expenditures and $1,110,000 from transfers-out for FY 2023-24 and $40,189,430 in ongoing expenditures and $1,110,000 from transfers-out for FY 2024-25.

The Transfers Out category includes operating transfers to the Replacement Fund for building maintenance, equipment and fleet replacement, and technology replacement.
The FY 2023-24 Proposed General Fund planned expenditures will increase by $1,436,201 or
3.74% in FY 2023-24 compared to the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget, and $1,496,382 or 3.76% in FY 2024-25 compared to FY 2023-24 Proposed Budget for the General Fund.

Despite continued increases in maintenance and operating costs, the City has continued its efforts to create the most cost-effective expenditures to offset rising costs. The following highlights summarize the City’s proposed spending plan for the General Fund for FY 2023-25.
Position Changes – The total cost of the net one-half (0.5) General Fund additional positions identified below is approximately $35,000 in FY 2023-24 and an additional $2,500 in FY 2024-25.
The City has 210.25 authorized, full-time positions approved for FY 2022-23. Table 4 shows the number of authorized positions by the department for the Amended FY 2022-23 Budget and Proposed Budget for FY 2023-25 as shown, a total of half (.5) full-time position addition. The changes are to enable the City to achieve optimal service levels.

CalPERS Pension Contributions – CalPERS pension costs continue to rise. However, CalPERS updated their return on investments projection which led to favorable results for the City.
CalPERS reported a preliminary 21.3% Investment Returns for FY 2020-21, that exceeded the adopted investment return of 7.00% for an excess return of 14.3%. The stronger return resulted in the CalPERS Funding Risk Mitigation policy to reduce the expected volatility of future investment returns that corresponds to a reduction in the discount rate of 0.20%, from 7.00% to
6.8% for FY 2023-24. Due to these factors, the General Fund will experience an increase of $200,000 in FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25.
Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) – In FY 2022-23, the City budgeted to contribute $245,000 to the OPEB Section 115 trust. According to the actuarial reports the projected amounts are $250,000 for FY 2023-24 and $250,000 for FY 2024-25.
Information Services – Previous budgets, software and communications expenditures were charged to respective departments. In an effort to streamline and provide optimal services, communications and software expenses have been combined into one budget within the Information Technology Division. While the division shows an increase it is important to note this is a reallocation of funds with moderate fiscal impact of annual projected maintenance increases.
Community Engagement – As a relatively new department, expenditures included reallocation of community grants previously funded from the non-departmental budget and new marketing and promotion initiatives to include, two new city-wide mailers and, neighborhood association promotions.
Other Changes– Increase in professional services of $60,00 for annexation consultant contract in FY 2023-24 and $80,000 in funding for the Stars and Stripes event in FY 2024-25.
Transfers Out– Annual transfers to the replacement fund in the amount of $1,110,000 for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 are as proposed: Building Maintenance improvements - $210,000, Equipment Replacement program - $350,000, Information Technology – equipment/software replacement - $150,000, and Fleet Replacement of $400,000.

amenities to support the quality of life of our community. These projects are vetted through various means, such as constructability and delivery, necessity, sustainability, priority, and available funding. The CIP is an evolving document, and much like the City’s overall budget, is subject to actual conditions, revenues and changes in priorities.
The CIP consists of a multitude of projects, as shown on Table 10, focused on improving the functionality and safety of the city’s infrastructure. While many of the projects are a continuation of years of efforts, such as the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project, there are various new projects that reflect city’s successful attainment of new grant funds. The CIP incorporates projects with fully secured funding through construction, as well as projects funded through preliminary engineering with the expectation of leveraging local dollars in the future to secure state and/or federal funds for construction. The CIP also includes the pavement restoration program, a community and Council priority, incorporating General Fund dollars in addition to local transportation revenues to help bolster future street resurfacing efforts to address our increasing needs.
Table 10: CIP by project type for FY 2023/24 and FY 2024-25
State law requires the City to prepare a Capital Improvement Program covering a 5-year plan, as displayed on Table 11. The CIP does not appropriate funds but functions as a budgeting and planning tool, supporting actual appropriations that are made through adoption of the budget.

Ten Year Forecast
As a strategic fiscal planning tool, the City maintains a long-term financial forecast. Because this forecast is based upon data currently available, it is updated periodically to reflect new information regarding anticipated future revenues and expenditures. The financial forecast covers a ten-year period for the City’s General Fund. The City Council last reviewed the TenYear Financial Forecast on May 11, 2023.
The Ten-Year Financial Forecast has been updated and includes the following changes:
• Fiscal Year 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 – year-end projections added. • Line item for street repairs has been adjusted based upon additional projected tax revenue with funding limited to amount which will not deplete General Fund reserves below City Council approved minimum level of 17 percent of operating expenditures. • Revenue projections (property tax, sales tax and vehicle in-lieu fees, and transient occupancy tax) and updated labor cost estimates updated for Fiscal Year 2023-24 thru Fiscal Year 2031-32.
• An additional row was added to reflect a transfer to capital improvement reserve of $4,000,000 to fund Auburn Blvd- Phase 2 Match.
A summary of the Ten-Year Financial Forecast is provided on Table 12. A more detailed version is attached to this report.

Appropriations/Gann Limit
The City is required to establish a new appropriation limit each fiscal year. Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution establishing an appropriation limit of $67,590,629 for FY 2023-24.
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution provides that the total annual appropriations subject to limitation of each governmental entity shall not exceed the appropriation limit of the entity for the prior year adjusted for changes in population and inflation. This was mandated by Proposition 4 passed in November 1979, and Proposition 111 passed in June 1990. The appropriation limit for a given fiscal year is established just prior to the beginning of that fiscal year. The appropriation limit was calculated by using the California Per Capita Income change and the percentage change in population for the County of Sacramento.
The calculation is provided on Table 13.

Message from the City Manager
I am pleased to present year one of the Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2023-2025 and the Capital Improvement
Plan for the City of Citrus Heights. A budget should serve as a statement of community values and priorities. City staff collaborated on preparing a budget focused on
providing high-levels of service while setting our
organization up to make advancements on key City
Council priorities. For the first time in the city’s history, this budget provides significant General Fund
expenditures for street repairs. The core pillar of fiscal prudence is well represented as revenues are forecasted to exceed expenditures and a healthy reserve balance is being established as part of long-term forecasting.

General Fund
The General Fund acts as the main operating fund for the City. The General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24
reflects a balanced operating budget where estimated
operating revenues of $43.1 million exceed operating
expenditures of $39.8 million by $3.3 million.
The General Fund Budget projects an increase in revenue of 6% when compared to the initial FY 2023-24 budget,
primarily due to receiving its full Property Tax distribution, and increases in Sales Tax and the Motor Vehicle in Lieu tax.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Recognizing the need for preventative maintenance
and repairs to preserve City facilities and
infrastructure, the City Council continues to fund
multiple capital projects. The Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) is a long-range fiscal forecast, which
identifies major public improvements to the City’s
infrastructure over the next five years.
The City’s CIP encompasses street and roadway
improvements, park projects, information
technology upgrades, facilities infrastructure
improvements and other large-scale capital
projects. The five-year CIP plan has been developed
in accordance with the recommendations set forth
in the master plans completed over the last year
that include bridge maintenance, complete streets,
trails, storm drain, Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and other traffic and pedestrian safety
enhancements.
For FY 2023-24 $17.3 million in continuing projects
and new funding is being requested.

SMP MOVES INTO NEW OFFICE
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Most of our businesses survived the pandemic with assistance from the government and Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP). One result of the pandemic has been an increase in crime and property-related vandalism. Two challenges make it difficult to deal with these issues. One, Prop 47 reduced some crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Shoplifters know to keep it under $950. Two, the City of Citrus Heights does not manage the justice system, nor does it operate its own jail. The County Jail system is currently under a consent decree for overcrowding and substandard living conditions. Currently, we are unable to arrest for misdemeanors such as shoplifting below $950, trespassing, property damage, etc.
The County prioritizes felonies and will not take these arrests. This is understandable but leaves us to deal with these issues that so negatively impact our businesses. The police department is operating under the same constraints. While we have no control over the County or the jail system, we can do our best to manage the environment in the District. More than $300,000 of the District’s budget is devoted to making sure the area is clean, safe, and attractive. For more information on our security and maintenance programs see pages two and three of this report. SMP also continues to create awareness and bring consumers to the District through advertising, special events, promotions, and public art.

CLEAN & SAFE PROGRAMS
SMP CONTINUES TO STEP UP SECURITY
Why Security?
SMP has primarily been a marketing and event-oriented District. During and postpandemic, SMP has experienced an increase in crime, especially property damage, trespassing, and theft. At the same time, the police department has fewer officers on patrol. While the County jail issues make arrests difficult, we can keep them from establishing camps in the District by moving them from private property.
The Program
SMP has contracts with the Citrus Heights Police Department for a dedicated, full-time officer. Officer Jeff Schouten patrols the District Tuesday through Friday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. To fill in gaps, when Officer Schouten is off, SMP also contracts with NorCal Security for armed, private security. While days and hours for NorCal vary depending on need, they currently patrol the District 5-6 days a week including Saturday and Sunday. It is important to note that this program is not meant to replace center or business security and should not be viewed as a business’s sole source of security.
The Results
LogicTree IT, located in SMP, developed a special app for SMP that allows NorCal to track locations and types of incidents. This data allows us to track the types of incidents and proactively strategize solutions. In 2022, security officers responded to 1,008 incidents including more than 600 transient interactions.
Other incidents included:
• Theft prevention
• Calling in theft activity
• Stolen vehicles
• Spotting suspicious vehicles & persons
• Notifying owners of abandoned vehicles
• Transient related activity &trespassing
• Business clearing
vacant buildings & removing transients
• Drug-related calls
• Disturbances
• Juvenile activity
• Arson
CHPD Officer Schouten:
While Nor-Cal focuses on dealing
with our regular transient population
and other incidents, Officer Schouten
focuses on theft and other larger
crimes. He works with asset
protection professionals to improve
their effectiveness and their report
writing skills which will lead to more
air-tight convictions. Officer Schouten
participates in the CHP Organized
Retail Theft Task Force which is
working on solutions to mitigate
boosters and other large, organized
theft in California.
Nor-Cal also executed several “burns”, visiting businesses and patrolling parking lots to deter theft. They have recovered thousands of dollars in merchandise. Nor-Cal assists our maintenance porter in removing homeless camps, calling in graffiti, illegal dumping, and other property damage. Nor-Cal and Officer Schouten also provide valuable customer service such as medical and car assistance.
New Ordinance:
SMP requested CHPD review semi-truck and trailer parking on commercial roads in the District after receiving complaints from businesses about signage and lane blockage.
City Council approved the ordinance which prohibits commercial vehicle parking on public streets.

SMP OVERLAY BAN
In 2022, the City placed restrictions on the types of businesses allowed in the District. The overlay zone (encompassing the entire District) prohibits auto-intense uses such as gas stations, car washes, auto repair, and similar uses.
More information is available on the City’s website/Planning Division at citrusheights.net/1183/Sunrise-MarketPlace-Overlay-Zone-Proposal
SHOPPING CART ORDINANCE
In December 2022, the City adopted an ordinance regulating abandoned shopping carts and the unauthorized use of shopping carts.
• The unauthorized possession of a shopping cart is a citable offense. • Each shopping cart shall be marked for identification. • Businesses with more than 5 carts must submit a Shopping Cart Plan to prevent theft.
The shopping cart application form can be found on the City’s website/Planning Division at:
citrusheights.net/1195/Shopping-Cart-Ordinance-Adopted
Sunrise MarketPlace will continue to pick up and return abandoned shopping carts. “We looked at several office buildings in the area, one of the reasons we purchased 7920 Alta Sunrise was due to being in the Sunrise MarketPlace; we see many advantages to the services they provide.” - Mark Cimino, CEO, of Cimino Care ITEM 11

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
Amy Van, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Citrus Heights Education Committee
Summary and Recommendation
At the May 11, 2023 City Council meeting, during the Items Requested by Council Members portion of the meeting, two members of the Council requested the Citrus Heights Education Committee (CHEC) work plan and timeframe be brought back for Council consideration.
Staff recommends the City Council review and discuss the Ad Hoc 2x2 Committee’s recommended work plan for the CHEC and provide direction to staff.
Background and Analysis
At the March 23, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved, by majority vote, the formation of a limited term CHEC to examine the feasibility of a Citrus Heights school district. The City Council further directed the City Council Education & Community Programs Ad Hoc 2x2 Committee to develop a work plan, timeframe and committee composition to be presented to the City Council for consideration and approval. This item was previously discussed at the April 27, 2023 City Council meeting and as a result of Council deliberation the item did not receive majority consensus to move forward.
The City Council Education & Community Program 2x2 Committee met and developed the CHEC’s work plan, timeframe, and composition as outlined below.
Citrus Heights Education Committee Work Plan and Timeframe GOAL: To examine the feasibility of creating a new Citrus Heights school district
ACTIVITIES:
• Analyze schools within the city boundaries of Citrus Heights inclusive of test scores, attendance records, athletic and extracurricular school activity opportunities and participation levels, and capacity at Citrus Heights schools versus actual enrollment ITEM 12
Subject: Citrus Heights Education Committee
Date: May 25, 2023
Printed on Recycled Paper
• Research the steps and process of becoming a school district • Provide examples of other similar school district formations (in-process or recent action) • Assess the capability of the City to create a school district • Assess the budgetary needs and available resources to pursue school district formation • Report Progress
• Recommendations
COMMITTEE COMPOSITION:
The CHEC is proposed to be comprised of seven (7) seats as follows: one (1) appointee by each Councilmember (does not need to reside in their Council District), and two (2) at-large committee members.
TIMELINE:
If approved the selection process and work program timeline are proposed as follows:
DATE ACTION
May 26 Application released and posted on the City’s website; conduct community outreach
June 9 Applications due to the City
June 12 Applications would be sent to Council for review June 22 Council Mtg. Committee members appointed by City Council July – October Committee meetings to be held over a five-month period, or other schedule as determined by the City Council
November 9 Council Mtg. The Committee’s work program is expected to culminate in a policy recommendation to Council in November.
Attachment 1 includes the proposed application questions as recommended by the City Council 2x2 Committee.
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal impact of a committee would involve staff time assisting to coordinate scheduling for meetings and other administrative support. The City Manager’s office would seek to contract with a consultant to assist with the facilitation of the CHEC similar to what was done with the exploration of forming a city police department. If there is a desire to move beyond the CHEC’s examination assignment, projected costs associated with any future recommended actions (such as moving ahead with formation actions) will be identified and estimated as part of the report prepared by the CHEC.
