PUBLIC COMMENT

Bill Van Duker commented on the Council’s recent decision of the Sylvan Corners development project. He spoke in support of the project.

Marcelle Flowers commented on the Council’s recent decision of the Sylvan Corners development project. She spoke in support of the project.

Natalee Price representing REACH announced the Hopeful Neighborhood Project is coming to Citrus Heights at an upcoming REACH Board meeting.

City Clerk Van read the following written comment submitted by Janis Jacox, “The denial of the Sylvan Corners development seems ill considered. Many months and a LOT of money was spent by the developer and city staff on the project. Direction should have been given early on that you were against a dense project.

Plans were discussed at several previous meetings. So many lost opportunities. Comments like “Garbage cans have to go in the garage – the smells!” and “Where will the children play” seem petty. Yes, the lots are smaller than on Carriage. But not everyone wants the same lifestyle. You ignored the thousands living in apartments and condos with no yards of any kind. Some of those people would love to move up into a larger house with a little outdoor space. Would I live in an alley loaded house, probably not. But others do want a more urban lifestyle spending free time at Tahoe instead of yardwork or pet care. Your decision says Citrus Heights doesn’t welcome young professionals or empty nesters wanting to live walking distance to a brew pub, or Ciros, or Wonderful Chinese. Some neighbors and council members have this fantasy of posh shopping or high end housing with large lots. Have developers been beating down the door with proposals - no. California’s draconian housing and density rules mean the city has no real control over what is built where. Your decision insures we are left with an empty, dusty, barren lot at the city’s ”Premier” intersection . . . likely remaining so for a generation.”

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-___ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Accepting FY 2023 COPS Technology and Equipment Program Grant Funds.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objectives:

Go
al: Preserve and enhance public safety
Fiscal Impact
There will be no impact to the general fund for accepting this grant.

Background and Analysis
The FY 2023 COPS Office Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) is an invitation-only grant program designed to develop and acquire effective equipment, technologies, and interoperable communications that assist in responding to and preventing crime.

The
Citrus Heights Police Department was allocated funds based on an application submitted through Representative Ami Bera’s FY 2023 Community Project Funding. Representative Bera’s office approved the department’s application in the amount of $540,000. This approval resulted in the department’s application being funded under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023.

The
objective of this program is to provide funding for projects which improve effectiveness and the flow of information among law enforcement agencies. The police department anticipates using this funding to replace obsolete radios in police vehicles and the communications center.

New mobile radios will allow officers to access encrypted radio channels if this resource is needed for sensitive tactical maneuvering, where the disclosure of operational plans would ITEM 10

b. Re

The
addition of the one full-time employee may produce costs related to uniforms, training, overtime, and fuel. All of these anticipated costs will be covered by the police department’s current general fund budget.

Background and Analysis
The Budget Act of 2022 (SB 154) established the Organized Retail Theft (ORT) Prevention Grant Program. Funding for the ORT grant was on a competitive basis for city police ITEM 11

Printed on Recycled Paper
departments, county sheriff offices, and probation departments. Grant funds are to be used by awarded local law enforcement agencies for the prevention and response to organized retail theft, motor vehicle theft and motor vehicle accessory (catalytic converters) theft, and cargo theft. On September 14, 2023, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) awarded 31 city police departments and seven sheriff offices out of 114 applicants with $242,250,000 in ORT Prevention Grant Funding. The grant cycle is from October 1, 2023 to June 1, 2027.

The Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) was awarded its full requested amount of $2,752,138, and was one of only two city police departments to be awarded this grant funding in the region. “Citrus Heights CARES About Safety & Crime Prevention” is our campaign and aptly describes the benefit it will have to the businesses and community members in our city through enhanced criminal identification, detection, and prevention. When a crime does occur, CHPD will have multiple additional technological resources available to help solve these crimes which is in direct alignment with the City’s Strategic Plan Goal of to “develop and present a coordinated plan to reduce crime, mitigate blight, and increase vibrancy in commercial areas.”

Recent increases in regional organization retail crime has impaired retailers, law enforcement agencies, and commercial public safety partners trying to prevent further victimization to our businesses and communities. Recent nationwide shutdowns of major retailers have negatively impacted communities like our own and our goal is to prevent similar shutdowns from occurring within our city by protecting our businesses and their assets. Regional collaborative efforts are underway to enhance the detection and prevention of known organized retail crime offenders preying on our business community partners.

Funding will be used to supplement existing technology resources and personnel resources related to identifying, communicating, and solving regional criminal enterprises moving through jurisdictional boundaries which often slows down investigative collaboration. Examples of this funding will be used for cameras, license plate readers, a video wall to view these resources on a single pane of glass, and Live 9-1-1 technology to allow officers to hear and timely respond to incoming 9-1-1 calls as they are occurring.

This grant also funds a new part-time detective position focused on the investigation of ORT crime occurring in the city, and a new full-time position that will be located at the Real-Time Information Center (RTIC) located at the Elk Grove Police Department. The RTIC is a first in the country to provide a regional approach to solving crime through the use of shared technology platforms and public safety members to provide comprehensive intelligence to identify and solve crime across jurisdictional boundaries. This position will continue to enhance regional capabilities in tracking crime as it is occurring in neighboring cities. The partnership between the police department and RTIC has already proven invaluable, as it has helped us solve a serial bank robbery case and home invasion robbery case earlier this year during a proof-of-concept trial period.

The efficacy of this program will be monitored and evaluated throughout the grant cycle. Staff will analyze the results of these efforts and make recommendations , prior to the end of the grant, on which programs and positions should continue and which should not. In the event the labor ITEM 11

BJECT: Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan
On-Call Civil Engineering Services
Summary and Recommendation
On May 31, 2022, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering support services related to the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan (Project). In accordance with standard practices governing consultant selection, MacKay & Somps Engineers, Inc. (MacKay & Somps) was determined to be the most qualified consultant to provide the desired services for the Project.

In
December 2022, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Kosmont Companies to develop financing strategies for implementation of the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan and to enter into a contract for supportive engineering work for a maximum combined amount of $200,000. Subsequently, the City Manager entered into an on- call contract with MacKay & Somps to develop various supporting engineering efforts for the anticipated infrastructure needs for the site.

As
infrastructure financing plan development is ongoing, additional infrastructure engineering work is needed to continue to advance the Sunrise Tomorrow Project. The proposed Sunrise Tomorrow engineering on-call contract will continue to enable the Engineering Division to utilize civil engineering support on an as-needed basis as tasks arise relating to development of the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan.

St
aff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2023-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, authorizing the City Manager to execute an on-call service agreement with MacKay & Somps Engineers, Inc. for on-call civil engineering services.

Goal: Diversify for a Resilient Economy
Objective: Present results of Sunrise Tomorrow Infrastructure Financing Strategy study and next steps to owners and stakeholders (FAWP)

Fiscal Impact

Engineering costs associated with the Sunrise Tomorrow Project shall be funded by a Green Means Go grant and ARPA funds. The proposed contract amount is not to exceed $200,000.

There will be no impact on the General Fund.

Background and Analysis

Citrus Heights City Council unanimously approved the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan on November 10, 2021. At the City Council Strategic Planning Retreat held on May 10, 2022, a goal was set to “Issue a Request for Proposals to conduct analysis of various public infrastructure financing scenarios and other economic development tools to inform future development agreement discussions for Sunrise Tomorrow.”
On May 31, 2022, staff issued an RFQ for engineering support services and received four statements of qualifications on June 10, 2022. Interviews of the consultant teams were conducted on July 12, 2022. As a result of the process, MacKay & Somps was determined to be the most qualified engineering consultant to provide the desired services for the Project.

In December 2022, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Kosmont Companies for infrastructure financing related work as well as necessary supportive engineering work to advance the Sunrise Tomorrow project forward. As part of this approval, the City also entered into an agreement with MacKay & Somps to support Sunrise Tomorrow Project including developing engineer’s estimates, utility capacity studies, grant application support, etc. This scope of work is coming to completion and infrastructure related support work continues.

An additional on-call contract for civil engineering support is necessary to support the continued and ongoing efforts for development of the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan. Having an on-call contract reduces the need to hire consultants on a task-by-task basis, reduces overall project timelines, and maintains one consultant team that can carry knowledge from one task to another, lowering overall costs and increasing efficiency.

Task orders will be managed by the Community Development Department and/or General Services Department and may include, among other tasks, infrastructure studies, infrastructure capacity analysis, master planning, site plan review and development, and similar efforts.

Staff recommends a maximum not-to-exceed amount of $200,000. This contract will allow staff to move forward with various items pertaining to advancement of the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan as they come up in a timely and efficient manner.

Under this program, cities and counties receive federal funds to augment public safety expenditures. This is a non- competitive grant program. There is no guarantee for funding or minimum allocations.

The funds must be used for law enforcement activities to include: technical assistance, strategic planning, research and evaluation, data collection, training, personnel, equipment, forensic laboratories, supplies, contractual support, and criminal justice information systems.

Meaning, if program expenditures exceed revenue the City receives from the courts (as depicted in the above budget), the City will withhold payment from Redflex to ensure there is enough revenue to cover the expenditures. This is to ensure that there is no impact to the City’s general fund budget in the event citation revenue cannot cover all the costs of running the program.

The contract with Redflex Traffic Systems is a fixed monthly fee for each dedicated camera approach. The monthly fee provides for the camera installation, maintenance, technology upgrades, and initial review of incidents. Redflex does not receive any share of citation revenue.

Citations generated by this program are processed through the court system and revenue is shared with the City on the same formula as all other traffic offenses.

Background and Analysis

In 2005, the City of Citrus Heights received an Intersection Safety Pri oritization Program (ISPP) from Kittelson & Associates and Synectics Transportation Consultants. These consultants provided recommendations to improve intersection safety by assessing various crash data. One of the recommendations made by the consultants to improve traffic safety was the installation of red light cameras at specified locations.

In 2007, City Council approved the implementation of the initial red light camera program in Citrus Heights. Four red light camera program providers responded to a request for proposals. The City evaluation team consisted of representatives from the Police Department and General Services.

Contacts were made with several cities and counties to verify operational declarations made during the presentations. Ultimately, the City team recommended to contract with Redflex Traffic Systems Inc., which was ultimately approved by resolution of Council in July of 2007.

The original 2007 Red Flex Traffic System contract was for five years, and since then, the Council has approved several extensions of the program. The most current contract commenced on July 1, 2021, continuing for a period of five years, ending in 2026.

The Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) continues to utilize the red light camera program as a method of traffic enforcement and believe that the program provides safety for the motorists traveling in our community. The police department currently utilizes red light cameras at eight intersections and those cameras cover a total of ten approaches.

During the FY 2022-23, the red light cameras processed over 43,000 potential violations. The potential violations were reviewed and screened twice by Redflex; of those, 22,341 violations were ITEM 14

sent to CHPD for review. A total of 13,486 citations were then issued following CHPD review. Of the citations issued, 86.87 percent were non-Citrus Heights residents and 13.13 percent were Citrus Heights residents.

Traffic enforcement, along with education and engineering, is a key component in calming traffic and preventing collisions. A red light camera system allows for cost neutral fulltime monitoring of intersections that cannot be matched with physical officer presence. The goal of the program is to save lives by modifying driving behavior while allowing police officers to focus on other traffic enforcement and life safety issues.

The running of a red light happens frequently and is often deadly. In 2021, 1,109 people were killed in crashes that involved red light running nationwide. Half of those killed were pedestrians, bicyclists, and people in other vehicles who were hit by the red light runners. In addition, in 2021, an estimated 127,000 people were injured in red light running crashes.

The I nsurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS ) (

running), who is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organizational that aims to reduce traffic fatalities, injuries and property damage through research and evaluation and the American Automobile Association (AAA) (

Below are some statistics regarding red light violations from these two organizations.

• Nearly half (46 percent) of those killed in red light running crashes were passengers or people in other vehicles and more than five percent were pedestrians or cyclists. (AAA) • A study comparing large cities with red light safety cameras to those without, found the devices reduced the fatal red light running crash rate by 21 percent and the rate of all types of fatal crashes at signalized intersections by 14 percent. (IIHS) • A study compared large cities that turned off red light safety cameras with those w ith continuous camera programs. In 14 cities that shut down their programs during 2010- 14, the fatal red light running crash rate was 30 percent higher than would have been expected if they had left the cameras on. The rate of fatal crashes at signalized intersections was 16 percent higher. (IIHS)
• In a 2021 national survey, 76 percent of drivers said it is very or extremely dangerous to drive through a red light that had just turned red when they could have stopped safely, but 28 percent reported doing so in the past 30 days. (AAA)
• Among drivers involved in fatal red-light- running multiple-vehicle crashes in 2021 , the red light runners were more likely to be speeding or alcohol-impaired at the time of the crash and less likely to have a valid driver's license. (IIHS)

Improving road safety is a priority for the Citrus Heights Police Department. The red light camera program is a cost neutral way for the department to help deter red light violations and promote safer driving habits on our roadways.
