Purpose of this Document
Section 65400(b) of the State of California Government Code requires planning agencies to provide an annual report to their legislative body, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The four basic purposes of the annual report are as follows:

• To provide information to assess progress on implementation of the General Plan in accordance with the stated goals, policies and implementation measures.

• Provide information to identify necessary course adjustments or modifications to the General Plan as a means to improve implementation.

• To provide a clear correlation between land use decisions made during the reporting period, and the goals, policies and implementation measures in the General Plan.

• To provide information regarding local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) be completed and submitted to the state each year for the previous calendar year. This APR looks at the City of Citrus Heights’s progress toward implementing its General Plan during the 2023 planning year.

General Plan Background
Upon incorporation in January 1997, the City adopted the Sacramento County General Plan. Soon thereafter, the City embarked on an intensive process of crafting the first General Plan. The resulting plan was adopted on November 15, 2000. Citizen participation played an important role in preparing the City’s General Plan. Because a General Plan needs to reflect community goals and aspirations, citizens were involved with issue identification and goal formulation. The public as well as various civic and professional organizations were consulted during the General Plan preparation stage whenever possible.

Numerous public meetings were held to discuss the General Plan. In 2011, a focused update to the General Plan was completed that addressed the areas of mobility/complete streets, water quality, climate change/sustainability. The Housing Element of the General Plan was updated in 2013 and again in 2021 to reflect the planning periods 2013-2021 and 2021-2029.

The General Plan addresses State General Plan requirements. California law requires that every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that addresses seven specific topics or “elements,” organized in any format or structure preferred by the community. The General Plan may also address other topics the community feels are relevant. Regardless of the format or issues addressed, the Plan must be internally consistent. The City’s Plan is organized into three elements that meet the State requirements, as shown in Table 1: General Plan Content.

City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan ultimately depends on how it is implemented and maintained over time. State law requires that most actions of local governments affecting the physical environment be consistent with the General Plan. The implementation of the Plan is the responsibility of numerous departments and divisions including:

• City Manager’s Office (Includes City Clerk and Risk Management) • Economic Development and Community Engagement Department • City Attorney
• Community Development Department (Includes Planning, Building and Housing Divisions) • Police Department (Includes Code Enforcement, Animal Control, and Rental Housing Inspection Divisions)
• General Services Department (Includes Public Works and Engineering, Community Services, Facilities, and Fleet Divisions)
• Administrative Services Department (Includes Finance, Information Technology, and Human Resources Divisions)

Additionally, several other governmental agencies provide services within the City’s boundary. While these agencies are neither part of the City’s operational structure nor directly responsible for implementation of the General Plan, the City does coordinate its activities with these other agencies and relies upon their assistance for full implementation of the General Plan. These agencies include, but are not limited to the following:

• Water Districts (3) • Sunrise Recreation and Park District • Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District • Sacramento Area Sewer District • San Juan Unified School District

Amendments to the General Plan
State law allows the City to amend its General Plan no more than four times per year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as require by the California Environmental Quality Act.

In 2023, the City did not make any changes to the adopted General Plan.

Major Project Developments
Construction was approved, initiated or completed within Citrus Heights for the following major projects during the 2023 planning year:

Mitchell Farms – The 260-unit Mitchell Farms single-family subdivision began construction in 2022 and the final home was completed in fall of 2023. The new subdivision was built on approximately 32 acres and includes a new park and walking trails that connect to the Arcade Cripple Creek trail.

Wyatt Ranch Subdivision – Originally entitled in 2016, the 23-unit Wyatt Ranch subdivision began construction in 2021 and to date, 10 homes have been completed.

Fair Oaks Senior Apartments – Fair Oaks Senior Apartments is a new apartment project located on the east side of the City, along Fair Oaks Boulevard just south of Greenback Lane. The 108-unit project will provide housing for income qualified seniors. The project began construction in the summer of 2021 and is still under construction.

Sunrise Pointe Multi-family Housing - Sunrise Pointe, a 47-unit supportive multi-family project, is the City’s first affordable project in over 20 years. Sunrise Pointe will provide permanent housing and wraparound services to persons and families who were previously unhoused. The project started construction in 2021 and was completed in December 2023.

Other Major Milestones and Projects that Support the Goals of the General Plan Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail – The Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail (ACCT) broke ground in November 2022 and is nearing completion. This new trail is a 2.9 mile long multi-use trail between Sunrise Boulevard (near Arcade Creek Park Preserve) and Wachtel Way that will largely follow an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) electric corridor easement. The project is located in the City and unincorporated Orangevale, and connects several neighborhoods to eight parks, several schools and the Sunrise MarketPlace.

Citrus Heights Cares – The City launched its Beautification Crew program in October 2022 to provide maintenance and beautification services, including litter and weed abatement, illegal sign removal, minor graffiti removal, cleaning of debris along sidewalks and trails, among other things.

Community Character and Identity

Goal 2: Preserve the unique character of Citrus Heights, and create a distinctive community identity Policy 2.3:

Maintain a high level of services for all citizens, including high standards of public safety.

Status/Implementation: At the July 12, 2023 City Council meeting, City Council adopted a Focus Area Work Plan that outlined and clarified strategic objectives for the City to accomplish by March of 2024. Part of those objectives included the creation of a Beautification Crew. The crew began working in November of 2022, and provides expeditious cleanup and response, active enforcement of encampments and nuisance situations that impede public right-of-ways and other public areas that are detrimental to public enjoyment and safety.

Additionally, at the October 27, 2022 City Council meeting, Council adopted a Shopping Cart ordinance to aid businesses in the retention of carts and reduce long-term costs for businesses relative to shopping cart replacement and addressing the public nuisance created by stolen shopping carts that become community blight and litter.

Housing

Goal 25: Provide adequate sites for a variety of housing opportunities to serve all residents Policy 25.1:

Promote development of a variety of housing types in terms of location, cost, design, style, type, and tenure, while ensuring compatibility with adjacent uses of land.

Action 25.1A: Support development of secondary dwelling units, cluster housing, work/live units, co-op housing, and other innovative housing types as allowed by the Zoning Code

Status/Implementation: In the 2023 year alone, the City issued 23 building permits for the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Eight of these permits were from the City’s Permit-Ready Accessory Dwelling Unit Program (PRADU), providing 18 different ADU plans to prospective applicants free of charge. This is all part of the City’s efforts to create more housing opportunities within single-family zoned neighborhoods.

In 2023, the RHIP team identified 468 individual housing units with violations and identified a total of 1,626 total violations, of which 1,556 violations were cleared. In most cases, each one of these violations has the potential to cause a hazard that could result in great bodily harm or death. These impressive results highlight and underscore the need and importance of having a program dedicated to improving the city’s rental housing.

Action 26.1F: Continue and expand the City's Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Program where feasible.

Status/Implementation: The City has partnered with local organizations to provide health and safety repairs, accessibility improvements, and maintenance to several homeowners.

Public Safety

Goal 58: Ensure excellent public safety services and rapid and effective emergency response Policy 58.1:

Provide police staffing as necessary to meet community needs Status/Implementation: IMPACT Detectives and the SWAT Team, in conjunction with Code Enforcement and the City’s Building Division, were successful in shutting down an illegal gambling operation within the City limits. The neighboring businesses and landlord were extremely appreciative for the police department’s assistance.

The IMPACT Unit and the Homeless Outreach Navigators proactively partnered with other City government departments and the City Attorney's Office to look for strategies and best practices to tackle issues concerning blight and chronic nuisances that have negatively affected the quality of life in Citrus Heights. This collaboration led to forming a Community Prosecutor position through the City Attorney's Office. A chronic nuisance offender (CNO) is any person who negatively affects the quality of life in our city through repeated violations of the City Municipal Codes and Ordinances and is a drain on City resources. This program aims to have an efficient way for the City of Citrus Heights and the Police Department to work with our Community Prosecutor to hold those accountable who are chronic nuisance offenders.

Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Overview
Preserving and enhancing the range and affordability of housing in an important goal of the General Plan. A goal of the Plan is to continue to address the housing needs for all, including move-up homeowners, low-income renters, seniors, disabled persons, and other with special needs. The Plan includes a variety of goals, policies and actions primality directed toward the following objective:

• Increase the level of home ownership in the community • Preserve the existing housing supply and assure its continuing quality.

This annual report includes a review of the Plan’s goals as they relate to housing. Table D, included within this report, provides the status/progress of the programs within the housing element section of the General Plan.

Regional Housing Needs Plan
In an effort to address statewide housing needs, the state of California requires regions to address housing issues and needs based on future growth projections for the area. Housing and Community Development (HCD) allocates regional housing needs to councils of government throughout the state.

The Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) then allocates to each city and unincorporated county their “fair share” of the region’s projected housing needs by household income level. This distribution is commonly referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

The intent of the RHNP is to ensure that local jurisdictions address not only the needs of their immediate areas but also fill the housing needs for the entire region. Additionally, a major goal of the RHNP is to ensure that every community provides an opportunity for a mix of affordable housing to all economic segments of its population.

For the City, the RHNP is developed by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG). State law requires the City to identify its progress in meeting its share of the RHNA as well as local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing. The City’s General Plan Housing Element includes programs and actions to be taken to meet these objectives, and reflects the RHNP and RHNA for the Sacramento region.

SACOG, along with the City and the other jurisdictions in the region, prepared the Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the 2021–2029 planning period. The RHNP identified a total of 697 dwelling units as the City’s fair share of the regional needs total. Table 2 identifies the breakdown of this number for each of the income categories covered by the RHNP for the City.

Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer

SUBJECT: Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project
Approve Contract Amendment No. 1 – Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services

Summary and Recommendation

On August 11, 2022, the City Council authorized an agreement for Construction Management, Inspection and Materials Testing Services (Agreement) with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland) for the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project (Project).

During construction, unforeseen conditions were discovered, and additional work has been identified that will ensure a quality, safe and aesthetically pleasing final construction project.

With construction nearing completion and with the Project being funded with a federal grant, staff requested a proposal from Coastland to continue to support the City by providing the necessary inspection and material testing services through the additional Project working days.

This additional service requires an amendment to the Agreement, which services will be paid for on an hourly basis. Staff negotiated an amount not to exceed $102,448.65 for Contract Amendment No. 1.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-____ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Professional Services with Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. for the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project.

Amendment No. 1 will increase the not-to-exceed fee for professional services by $102,448.65 to a total of $925,788.77.

Th
e recommended action results in no fiscal impact to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/2024 budget, nor the 2023/2024-2027/2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Proposed Amendment No. 1 will be paid for utilizing already approved non-General Fund project funding sources.

Background and Analysis
The Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail Project will construct a 2.9-mile multi-use trail that will provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities largely following an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) overhead transmission corridor between Arcade Creek Park Preserve and Wachtel Way in both Citrus Heights and unincorporated Orangevale in Sacramento County. The Project includes a direct connection to the recently constructed Mitchell Village Trail and will provide direct access between eight public parks, the Sunrise MarketPlace and to Woodside K-8 School. The project will also provide new recreation and transportation options to numerous neighborhoods throughout the City. The trail serves as a first step to connect to the broader regional trail system in Roseville, Sacramento County, and ultimately Folsom to the American River Parkway.

Trail construction, which is nearing completion, consists of a ten-foot-wide paved trail with two- foot-wide decomposed granite shoulders. Lighting has been installed along the entire length of the trail, and the project will construct safe crossings of public roadways and reduce potential flooding by removing existing impediments to the floodway. The Project is a partnership between the City, Sunrise Recreation & Park District, Orangevale Recreation & Park District, San Juan Unified School District, and SMUD.

Re
maining items of work include, but are not limited to, energizing the new traffic signal at the trail crossing of Fair Oaks Boulevard, energizing the two new Rectangular Flashing Beacons at the Villa Oak and Woodmore Oaks trail crossings, installation of a trail wide wayfinding sign system, roadway striping upgrades, installation of security items including removable bollards, handrails and post & cable fencing, as well as irrigation and plantings.

BJECT: Authorizing the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento to Issue Bonds and Acquire Mortgage Loans to Finance the Acquisition and Rehabilitation of a Multifamily Rental Housing Project in the City of Citrus Heights
Summary and Recommendation
The
Housing Authority of the City and County of Sacramento (HACOS) owns and operates 2,712 public housing units throughout the City and County of Sacramento. There are six public housing facilities in the City of Citrus Heights which are owned and operated by HACOS. These units are vital to providing critical housing to low-income residents. This housing stock is rapidly aging and public housing is not adequately funded to improve deferred maintenance issues.

Th
e Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program was initiated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 2012 to help Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) convert their properties to more viable housing programs. RAD allows PHAs to convert public housing to long-term, Project-based Section 8 rental assistance developments. Converting properties to RAD allows PHAs to access private debt and equity that is not permitted in traditional public housing to address immediate and long-term capital needs. The City of Citrus Heights has a long history of working collaboratively with HACOS to ensure the facilities within Citrus Heights are well-maintained and operated as affordable housing.

HACOS i
s proposing participation in the RAD Program for the Auburn Falls Project (Project).

The developer for the Project is Sacramento Housing Authority Repositioning Program (SHARP), which is a non-profit affiliate of Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA). The Project will rehabilitate five public housing properties, including two in the City of Citrus Heights – 7500 Tiara Way and 6054 Shupe Drive.

The
Project intends to utilize Multifamily Revenue Bonds in accordance with the multifamily rental housing finance program pursuant to Chapter 1 of Part 2 of Division 24 of the Health and ITEM 9

Printed on Recycled Paper
Safety Code of the State of California (the "Act”) to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation, and development of the Project.

A resolution from the City Council is required to allow HACOS to initiate the issuance of the bonds necessary to finance the Project. No financial obligation or other participation is required from the City other than the attached resolution allowing HACOS to issue bonds for properties within the City Limits. Upon completion of this effort, the units will be rehabilitated and will continue to be operated by HACOS as affordable housing for low-income households.

This approach will result in significant rehabilitation of existing public housing in Citrus Heights, and all affordable housing units will continue to be regulated and operated by HACOS for a period of 55 years as a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program funding requirement of the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee. Compliance with the regulatory agreement will be monitored by SHRA on an annual basis.

Therefore, HACOS intends, under the Act to issue bonds to finance the acquisition and development of multifamily rental housing developments located at 7500 Tiara Way (consisting of 20 units) and 6054 Shupe Drive (consisting of 20 units) in the City of Citrus Heights. This transaction will transfer the property from HACOS to Auburn Falls LP, an affiliate of SHARP while being maintained as affordable housing.

Staff recommends the City Council:

(1) Adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the Housing Authority of the County of Sacramento to Issue Bonds and Acquire Mortgage Loans to Finance the Acquisition and Rehabilitation of a Multifamily Rental Housing Project in the City of Citrus Heights.

Background and Analysis

Over the last several years, SHRA has transitioned its public housing portfolio to the RAD program and proposes to continue this effort with the conversion of the Auburn Falls scattered sites located in the County of Sacramento and the City of Citrus Heights.

There are 5 total sites that will be rehabilitated as part of this project, two of which are in Citrus Heights. The conversion of the units to RAD will convert them from public housing units to the multifamily bond and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC) with Project Based Vouchers (PBV). HACOS will continue to provide property management of the units and the units will remain affordable to low-income households.

Fiscal Impact

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The CAPER is a requirement for receiving CDBG funds, which average approximately $600,000 annually.

Background and Analysis

During the 2023 program year, the City received a total of $600,456 in entitlement grant funds and $40,394.30 in program income (loan repayments). The City also received funds from other state and federal housing programs. The grant funding allows the City to carry out housing and community development programs targeted primarily to low-income households.

As part of the annual reporting for the CAPER, a public review process and public hearing is required. CDBG regulations require the City to place a public notice in The Citrus Heights Messenger 14-days in advance of a 15-day period to review and provide comments on the draft CAPER prior to approval by the City Council.

A public notice announcing the availability of the CAPER was published in The Citrus Heights Messenger February 16, 2024. The draft report was made available for public review during the 15-day public comment period from March 2-17, 2024. Copies of the CAPER were made available for public review at designated locations and on the City’s website. Any written comments or questions will be responded to during the public hearing or in writing by staff and will be included in the final CAPER when submitted to HUD.

In 2023 the City worked collectively with a variety of nonprofit agencies to fulfill unmet needs within the community. The highlights of the report include:

• Sacramento Self-Help Housing (SSHH) provided housing counseling and navigation services with additional counseling, dispute resolution and fair housing services to residents via calls and internet-based Renters Helpline through June 2023. After the dissolution of SSHH, City staff researched opportunities to continue services. City staff partnered with new service providers:
o Homeless Navigator Program
. Sacramento County Department of Homeless Services
and Housing to provide a Community Health Worker employed by Community Health who provided homeless outreach and navigation services to unsheltered individuals living in a state of homelessness with the City. This program was funded through County American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) district-directed funding from District 4, services will continue through December 31, 2025. o Renters Helpline Program. Through a Regional Cost Sharing Agreement, the City partnered with Project Sentinel and Community Link Capital Region (also known as 211 Sacramento) to provide a telephone and internet-based “Renters Helpline”, counseling, dispute resolution, fair housing services for residents in a housing crisis or dispute with the goal to reduce housing discrimination, promote public awareness of fair housing laws and rights, and assist persons with disabilities. • Campus Life Connection provided an after-school youth program at the Sayonara Center.

In addition, in FY 23/24 the City invested $104,498 General Fund monies in support of community activities, including many offered by CDBG-eligible nonprofits. Sunrise Christian Food Ministry, food panty is working with Community Link Capital Region, as known as 211 Sacramento to provide households with home delivered food through a partnership with Door Dash. 211 Sacramento receives referrals, staff will reserve a Door Dash pickup from the food pantry for home delivery at no cost to the household. In addition, Campus Life Connection, and Meals on Wheels by ACC are beneficiaries of these local funds.

The City continues to support low-income homeowners make health and safety improvements to their home through the City’s Revolving Loan Fund (RLF). These funds are received through loan repayments which are funneled back into the CDBG program to issue new loans for housing repair.

The Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency is the lead agency in the Sacramento HOME Consortium. The City of Citrus Heights, City of Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency receive HOME funds, SHRA is the lead agency in the HOME Consortium and is responsible for managing the City’s annual HOME allocation and related program income.

In January 2020, the City Council approved a 47-unit multi-family affordable housing development, Sunrise Pointe Apartments. In December 2023, the City celebrated Sunrise Pointe Grand Opening. This is a significate milestone in our continued efforts to combat homelessness and provide affordable housing solutions in Citrus Heights. This project provided affordable permanent supportive housing for persons and families.

The City Council allocated $3.58 million from the Citrus Heights HOME Investment Partnership fund to the Sunrise Pointe Apartment project, in coordination with the developer Jamboree and service provider Hope Cooperative. The project is a qualified "affordable" project under the State Government Code. To qualify as an affordable housing development, the project must set aside a certain number of units for households whose income is considered low to very low.

Sunrise Pointe is a 100 percent affordable development, meaning all 46 units will be for residents whose income ranges all within or below the income limits and one unit will be used for an on-site property manager.

The developer executed 55-year affordability covenants on the property in exchange for the HOME funds. The Sunrise Pointe development is made up of two residential buildings totaling 46 rental units and one manager apartment.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non-federal program resources. In FY 23/24 the City allocated $104,498 in General Fund monies to nonprofits providing community service in the City. With respect to public services, the City requires all Subrecipients to identify other resources that will be leveraged during the program year to operate and implement CDBG supportive activities. It is the City’s intent to ensure adequate non-federal and private funds are available, thus minimizing the dependence on federal funds.

The City did not use any publicly owned property in PY 23 to address the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, although the City completed its first multi-family affordable housing development in over twenty years, Sunrise Pointe meets the housing needs of lower-income households. This project was completed in December 2023.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

The City is 98% built out so there is little land available for new housing developments. Additionally, this means the City does not have substantial development fees with which to fund these efforts.

Furthermore, due to the City’s revenue neutrality agreement with the county, the City did not receive property tax revenue for twenty-five years since the City incorporated in 1997. January 2023 is the first year the City received property tax revenue. Also, the elimination of Redevelopment funding at the state level makes the development of affordable housing increasingly challenging.

The City prior year CDBG funds funded housing accomplishments for the program year, the Critical Home Repair Grant Program which offers grants to low-income mobilehome homeowners needing assistance to make critical health and safety repairs to their homes. The City worked with Rebuilding Together Sacramento and completed 13 critical home repairs in PY 2023.

January 2020, the City Council approved the allocation of $3.58 million from the Citrus Heights HOME Investment Partnership Fund. Sunrise Pointe, a multifamily community providing permanent supportive housing, is located at 7424 Sunrise Boulevard in Citrus Heights. The 46 one, two, and three-bedroom units assisted with Project-Based Vouchers administered by Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency (SHRA). Built by developer Jamboree Housing Corporation, Sunrise Pointe is the first affordable housing development in Citrus Heights in the past 20 years. Amenities include on-site access to service providers, community rooms, covered BBQ/picnic area, outdoor tables, a playground, covered lounge area, and on-site property management. This project was completed in December 2023.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In PY 2023, the City funded a full-time and part-time homeless navigator through Sacramento Self-Help Housing (SSHH). The navigators performed proactive outreach to unsheltered homeless residents, meeting with them where they are staying, and assists them by evaluating their needs, obtaining documents required to enroll in housing programs, completing information necessary to enter them into the Countywide Homeless Management and Information System (HMIS), and possible locating housing.

After the dissolution of SSHH in June of 2023, the City began evaluating alternative options to allow for continued homeless outreach navigation services. The City approached Sacramento County Department of Homeless Services and Housing (DHSH) to consider a partnership to build on recent county efforts on outreach navigation services provided by Community HealthWorks. The City, the County, and Community HealthWorks have a mutual desire to improve the coordination and combining of efforts to meet the needs of the unhoused and help move individuals out of homelessness.

September 2023, the City entered a partnership with Sacramento County DHSH to deliver the Community Based Navigation Program to the City. This program will provide homeless outreach and navigation services to unsheltered individuals in the City.

Sacramento County, DHSH expanded on its new service model used throughout unincorporated Sacramento County, with nonprofit Community HealthWorks, to provide support services, emergency shelter, interim, and permanent housing. Community HealthWorks employes Community Health Workers (CHWs) to deliver services and establish a positive relationship with local community organizations, residents, and businesses to foster a supportive coalition for unsheltered individuals in the City.

Through the collaboration and ARPA district-directed funding allocation of $344, 836 from Sacramento County District 4 Supervisor Sue Frost, funding will be directed to DHSH to support one (1) full-time CHW, client assistance support and associated administrative costs for the City through December 2025.

In addition, through this partnership the Community Based Navigation Program will support reaching outreach to homeless persons and addressing individual needs.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons City staff participates in the Homeless Assistance Resource Team (HART), a group of agencies, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, members of the business community and interested individuals dedicated to addressing the City’s homeless issue. The goal of HART is to provide homeless individuals with resources so they may have better access to housing options. In addition, HART operates an annual Winter Sanctuary Program that provides a dry, safe place to sleep, hot meals, to-go breakfast, and services to help pave a path out of homelessness. The Winter Sanctuary operates December through February and services up to 25 clients per night.

As mentioned, the City contracts with the County of Sacramento DHSH to deliver the Community Based Navigation Program to the City. The program provides homeless and outreach services to unsheltered individuals in the City. Sacramento County DHSH expanded services with Community HealthWorks, a nonprofit to provide support services, emergency shelter, interim and permanent housing to those who are experiencing homelessness or are homeless. Through the collaboration, Community HealthWorks provides the City one full-time Community Health Worker (CHW) to provide support services for unsheltered individuals in the City.

Also, the City is an active participant in regional efforts to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness. The City continues to work with the Sacramento Continuum of Care (CoC), which is a 30+ member Board, that includes representatives from organizations serving individuals experiencing homelessness or who were formerly homeless and other interested, relevant organizations within the Sacramento County. The Sacramento CoC cover all the cities, towns, and unincorporated area of Sacramento County. The City’s Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator is a participant of the Sacramento County CoC Board and attends regular monthly meetings.

SHRA encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure, and program implementation of development through its Resident Advisory Board. In addition, the Housing Authority recognizes Resident Committees throughout the Sacramento Region; the residents are elected bodies representing residents in their respective complexes. SHRA also distributes a quarterly newsletter to all residents, containing relevant news, information on training and employment opportunities, and other community resources available to public housing residents. Public housing residents also participate in the development of SHRA’ s five-year annual plan.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) A continued supply of housing to all household income levels is essential to meet the needs of the residents of the City. The City is largely "built out" and the supply is dependent not only on production, but on the preservation of existing affordable housing. To ensure the continuing production of affordable housing, the City has examined possible constraints and barriers. Constraints to affordable housing are both governmental and non-governmental. Governmental constraints include land use controls, entitlement processing, fees, and building codes.

Land uses controls are necessary to ensure orderly and appropriate development and growth in the City.

Fees, land dedication and public improvements are usually required as part of land development and entitlement processing to ensure an adequate supply of infrastructure, parks, and schools to serve the development. The City may consider waiving appropriate development fees to facilitate development of affordable housing. Building and housing codes are implemented to ensure the safety of the community (housing residents, specifically).

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of lower-income households note in the Consolidated Plan, there are two primary obstacles to meeting underserved needs:
• Available funding is not sufficient to address community needs. CDBG funding was available to public service agencies and the City provided $104,498 in local funding for FY 23/24. The City continues to encourage nonprofits to identify other public or private funding sources. • Most of the region's service providers are in Sacramento, Citrus Heights is home to services such as food banks, youth programs, and senior meal service providers. Citrus Heights offers public transportation to the Sacramento area, but residents are sometimes reluctant or unable to travel outside of their community to receive services.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City will provide lead-abatement assistance for residential units through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program guidelines include specific policies related to testing and abatement. The City contracts with a third-party firm to administer its housing repair program. This firm contracts with qualified lead abatement contractors to conduct lead-based paint identification, assessment, and clearance services to reduce lead hazard. When lead-based paint is present or presumed to be present lead-safe work practices are required. The procedures regarding lead-based paint include notification procedures for owners, evaluation, and identification of lead hazards; requirements of repair, reduction, or abatement of the lead hazards; and clearance examinations.

addition, the program will comply with the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) and subsequent changes in September 1999.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City’s anti-poverty strategy focuses on providing a range of employment opportunities and supportive services aimed at enabling those in poverty to move into the workforce, as well as supporting activities that preserve and expand the supply of housing affordable to target-income households. • Meals on Wheels by ACC offered homebound seniors who meet eligibility requirements were provided home delivered meals, including five frozen meals once per week, or a hot meal delivered five times per week, Monday-Friday.
• Meals on Wheels by ACC also offered mobile senior’s nutritious meals and social interactions for those who could participate at a Café site. The Café site at Rusch Park closed due to COVID-19, café participants had the option to receive meals from nearby café sites. • Sacramento Self-Help Housing provided counseling and social services to homeless individuals or those at risk of becoming homeless, including drop-in counseling/office hours and case management services through June 2023.
• After the dissolution of SSHH, the City partnered with Sacramento County DHSH, to provide a Community Based Navigation Program.
• As a result of CDBG-CV funding, the City created a Supplemental Navigator Fund to provide emergency housing assistance; including temporary housing, security deposits, food, essential supplies, and necessary support for people experiencing homelessness while they receive outreach navigator services.
• Sunrise Christian Food Ministry operates an emergency food closet available to low-income persons.
• The City also provides code enforcement services and a rental housing inspection program to ensure lower-income households have a safe and decent place to live. This is not a CDBG funded activity.

Citrus Heights residents also have access to anti-poverty services provided by the County Department of Human Assistance. The County provides many programs designed to provide temporary assistance for eligible low-income residents and coordinates the County’s welfare-to-work programs with an emphasis on creating employment connections and increasing the income of participants.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) To eliminate gaps in institutional structures, the City remains actively involved with neighboring jurisdictions and regional governmental entities. The City coordinates with Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) to address affordable housing needs related to public housing activities.

Recently, the City collaborated with SHRA to allocate the City’s HOME funds to the Sunrise Pointe Affordable Apartment Project which was completed in December of 2023.

In addition, the City continues to collaborate with the City of Sacramento, City of Elk Grove, and City of Rancho Cordova, the two other small entitlement jurisdictions in Sacramento County, and continues to look for opportunities to increase and enhance services citywide to residents.

Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City continues to work with neighboring jurisdictions, including the City of Rancho Cordova, City of Elk Grove, City of Folsom, County and City of Sacramento and the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, to address the regional issues that affect the needs of low-income persons as well as special need programs, shared Subrecipient monitoring and research into issues of interest such as the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing final rule. The City also continues to work with many of the local nonprofits that provide a range of services to low-income residents.

Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) HUD provides specific requirements that entitlement grantees certify that they will affirmatively further fair housing in each jurisdiction. Fair Housing objectives are broad and include requirements to promote fair housing choice for all persons and to foster compliance with nondiscrimination provisions of the Fair Housing Act. These requirements are satisfied, in part, by analyzing impediments to fair housing choice within the jurisdiction and taking appropriate action to overcome the effects of identified impediments.

In 2020 the City completed the Sacramento Valley Fair Housing Collaborative Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) and it was adopted by the City Council. A copy of the AI can be found on the City's website at http://ca-citrusheights.civicplus.com/380/Community-Development-Block-Grant .

The AI identified the following barriers to affordable housing:
• Segregation, disproportionate housing needs and difference in economic opportunity. • Affordable rental options in the region are limited due to the growth in the region. • Constraints on affordable housing development and preservation, ranging from lack of funding, cost of development or preservation, public policies and processes, and lack of adequate infrastructure for infill redevelopment, all constrain the affordable rental market. • Suburban areas in the Sacramento Valley are rarely competitive for state or federal affordable housing development.
• Residents participating in the Housing Choice or other housing voucher programs, there are too few private landlords who accept vouchers; and an increase in strict rental polices. • Residents with disabilities lack access to affordable, accessible housing as public transportation has not kept up with growth.

Outside the completion of the AI, the City’s approach to fair housing was focused on education and investigation.

City staff participates in a series of meetings with other regional jurisdictions, including the County of Sacramento, SHRA, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, and Elk Grove on strategies for better cooperating regionally to address fair housing issues. Since 2016, the local jurisdictions have been partnering to allocate funding for the Renters Helpline. In 2023, Citrus Heights continues to partner with the local jurisdictions in a cost sharing agreement by contributing its share based on its percentage of the County's rental units.

Sacramento Self-Help Housing (SSHH) provided housing counseling and navigation services with additional counseling, dispute resolution and fair housing services to residents via calls and internet- based Renters Helpline through June 2023. After the dissolution of SSHH, City staff researched opportunities to continue services. City staff partnered with new service providers:
• Homeless Navigator Program. Sacramento County Department of Homeless Services and Housing to provide a Community Health Worker employed by Community Health who provided homeless outreach and navigation services to unsheltered individuals living in a state of homelessness with the City. This program was funded through County ARPA district-directed funding from District 4, services will continue through December 31, 2025. • Renters Helpline Program. Through a Regional Cost Sharing Agreement, the City partnered with Project Sentinel and Community Link Capital Region (as known as 211 Sacramento) to provide a telephone and internet-based “Renters Helpline”, counseling, dispute resolution, fair housing services for residents in a housing crisis or dispute with the goal to reduce housing discrimination, promote public awareness of fair housing laws and rights, and assist persons with disabilities.

In addition, on August 18, 2021, the City Council adopted the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The Housing Element includes an analysis of vacant and underused land in the City that can be developed into housing for low-, moderate-, and above moderate-income housing. It also outlines an analysis of potential government and nongovernmental constraints to housing development in the City.

The City uses a monitoring system to ensure that CDBG-funded activities follow applicable laws, regulations, policies, sound management, and accounting practices. The primary objective of the City’s monitoring efforts include:
• To ensure the Subrecipient has the capacity to carry out their responsibility and to do so in a timely manner.
• To ensure the Subrecipient is carrying out the project as described in their agreement, complying with applicable laws and regulations. To ensure the project is operating in a manner that minimizes the opportunity for fraud, waste, and mismanagement.

At the beginning of 2023, City staff provided a workshop for each CDBG Subrecipient, the workshops were provided via Zoom. The workshop was formatted to review federal requirements unique to CDBG, the subrecipient agreement, introduced CDBG reporting forms and answered questions. Therefore, all Subrecipients are informed of their obligations to collect the required information on income, household composition, race, and ethnicity. City staff also provides information to each Subrecipient that outlines the agreement terms and CDBG policies such as data collection and financial management.

In addition, staff recommends each Subrecipient read the "Playing by the Rules" guide produced by HUD.

Monthly, staff reviews the progress the Subrecipient has been making toward achieving performance goals. City staff places a strong emphasis on its Subrecipients to provide accurate information on the persons or households served, and regularly reporting progress with each invoice.

Each Subrecipient agreement contains provisions for reduction or termination in the event goals are not accomplished or when past performance issues have not been resolved. Onsite monitoring of Subrecipients is conducted based on an annual desk assessment performed by City staff.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Narrative
Section 3 of Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Section 3) was enacted “to ensure that the employment and other economic opportunities generated by Federal financial assistance for housing and community development program shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed towards low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing.

Section 3 applies to housing rehabilitation, housing construction, and other public construction projects that are fully or partially funded with HUD financial assistance. Projects that are financed with state, local or private matching or leveraged funds used in conjunction with HUD funds are covered by Section 3 if the amount of HUD funding for the project exceeds the regulatory threshold of $200,000.

Effective on November 30, 2020, the new Section 3 final rule (24 CFR Part 75) was designed to improve a focus on economic opportunity outcomes while simultaneously reducing the regulatory burden on those entities that receive those funds. Key changes in the rule and in HUD’s implementation include:
• Focusing on key outcome metrics, such as the sustained employment of individuals in targeted populations.
• Crediting retention of low- and very low-income employees and successful sustained employment in the reporting metrics.
• Aligning Section 3 reporting with standards business practices and payroll tracking methods. • Allowing for tailored outcome benchmarks for different geographies and/or different projects. • Integrating Section 3 oversight into the work of the program offices who are in regular contact with the grantee.
• Promoting the newly created portal to connect low- and very low-income people, who need jobs most, with businesses who have Section 3 job opportunities in their area.

During program year 2023, the City completed a housing rehabilitation program, the Critical Home Repair Grant Program.

Committee Findings and Recommendations
Committee members conducted extensive research and discussed various aspects of school performance in Citrus Heights including test scores, student socioeconomics, enrollment trends, and the necessary process for district reorganization. The Committee determined that it lacks the necessary tools, resources, and expertise to conduct a thorough financial evaluation regarding the formation of a new district.

The Committee noted positive developments in several schools within Citrus Heights but expressed concerns about the overall below-average performance of schools in the City.

Additionally, serious concerns were expressed regarding the level of parent involvement and engagement.

Various options were explored, including the possibility of establishing an independent Citrus Heights school district. Five members of the Committee recommend that the City pursue opportunities for collaboration with San Juan Unified School District and investigate partnership possibilities aimed at improving outcomes for Citrus Heights schools. These members advocated for the City to focus on supporting family involvement in schools and fostering positive community engagement rather than pursuing the formation of a new school district at this time. These members also highlighted recent changes in leadership within the San Juan District, both at the Board and staff levels, which present new opportunities for improved communication and collaboration between the City and the District. Additionally, six members ITEM 11

suggested exploring the option of public charter schools in the City to provide additional choices for families and students.

Two members of the Education Committee believe the City should conduct further evaluation on the formation of a new Citrus Heights school district, including a comprehensive financial analysis.

Some options for Council’s consideration include:

• Receive the CHEC’s recommendation and direct staff to initiate discussions with San Juan Unified to explore partnership opportunities aimed at improving outcomes for Citrus Heights schools; or

• Receive the CHEC’s recommendation and direct staff to retain a consultant to perform further technical analysis of forming a Citrus Heights school district.

At the March 14
th Council meeting, the facilitator and CHEC representatives will present the Committee’s findings and recommendations to City Council.

SUNRISE

MARKETPLACE
TURNS 25!

TIFFANY CLEMENT,

CHAIR OF THE BOARD
In addition to celebrating our 25th Anniversary this year, we are also kicking off the renewal of our District. We’ll be asking you to support this important sixth term. Y es, we did just renew in 2021, and appreciate your support! Due to some issues at the City, a three-year term was approved vs. the owner’s consensus for a 10-year term. This renewal, the City has approved a 10-year term. Why is a 10-year term preferable? It is expensive to renew, there are attorney costs and substantial staff time involved. We prefer to spend our funding and time helping our business and property owners. The Management District Plan provides flexibility if we need to make adjustments to services. We re-evaluate services each year to ensure we are doing our best to meet the needs of our business and property owners.

Sunrise MarketPlace has had a tremendously positive impact on the business district over the past 24 years. T ake a look back at 2023 to reflect on our progress, celebrate achievements, and recognize the challenges we have overcome! Rest assured, we will not sit on yesterday’s wins and will continue to improve services for the
best ROI for your assessment.

WHAT OUR PROPERTY &

BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE TO SAY

ABOUT SUNRISE MARKETPLACE
“We sit on six acres and we have three access points onto the property. There is a lot of traffic that goes through our property. As people go through the property, they dump
large items like sofas and desks. As our tenants come to work in the morning, we don’t want them to see sofas
in front of the office. Sunrise MarketPlace has helped us clean that up. They remove the items within 24 to 48
hours.”
- Amar Cheema, Property Owner, 6060 Sunrise

Vist
a Office Building
“During COVID and after, before we had leased our
property, we had people there every day. Sunrise
MarketPlace, through their clean program, have helped us clean up after the homeless. They’ve just kept an eye on things for us. I support it because I can’t imagine what our business would be without it.”
- Phil Jarret, Property Owner, Hibachi Buffet
“Sunrise MarketPlace and the city have had a terrific
partnership, focused on how we can make the City’s
core business district present well for residents and
businesses. We look to provide a very high level of service to ensure it’s a comfortable place to shop, a place where cash registers ring. The business of government is to
ensure you’re providing a wonderful marketplace for
your residents and promoting businesses for a vibrant
community.”

SUNRISE MARKETPLACE

SEEKS TO RENEW PBID
FOR 6TH TERM
Sunrise MarketPlace has executed many programs and services over the years; however, our goals have remained the same since the District formed in 2000.
• Create positive awareness for the area
• Drive traffic to our businesses
• Maintain a clean, safe, and attractive environment
• Enhance the economic viability of the District

NEW TERM PROPOSED FOR SUNRISE MARKETPLACE
Y ou may take the PBID for granted. It has been in place for 24 years, working in front and behind the scenes to keep the District economically viable, safe, attractive, and fun to visit. Sunrise MarketPlace is a property-based business improvement district (PBID); these districts have a defined timeframe to keep them accountable to property and business owners. Sunrise MarketPlace was formed in 2000 and has been renewed five times. This will be our fifth renewal and sixth term.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SMPPBID IS NOT RENEWED?
The PBID has invested millions of dollars in this business District over the past 24 years.

Without SMP, the District will deteriorate, and there is no backup to fill the vacuum left by our absence. PBID services are supplementary, not a replacement, of public sector services and will not be back-filled by other sources if the PBID is eliminated.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SMP PBID
IS NOT RENEWED?
NO SMP MEANS...
• NO Supplemental Clean and Safe programs:
• NO Security T eam to assist with theft prevention,
loitering, tr
espassing, property damage, and

many other public saf
ety issues
• NO additional assistance with crime prevention
tools such as v
acant building checks or

merchandise r
ecovery.
• NO Supplemental Porter Service for illegal
dumps, graf
fiti removal, shopping cart retreival

and more…
• NO Public Area Decor
• NO street pole banners or holiday décor
• NO palm tree lights in the medians
• NO more utility boxes wrapped in artwork.
• NO funding assistance for murals.
• NO Marketing and Events
• NO more events that generate awareness for the
district and dr
aw traffic to businesses.
• NO more social media, advertising, direct
marketing t
o consumers.

Support the renewal of Sunrise MarketPlace, and
let us continue to be your advocate to keep the
business corridor safe, clean, attractive,
and economically vibrant.

NEW ORDINANCE:

Trailer Truck Ordinance
In February 2023, the City Council approved an ordinance that prohibits commercial vehicle parking on public streets in response to complaints from businesses about signage and lane blockage. The decision came after SMP lobbied to request the Citrus Heights Police Department to review semi-truck and trailer parking on commercial roads in the district. This new ordinance aims to alleviate the concerns of local businesses and ensure that public roads remain accessible and safe for all.

SMUD ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT GRANT
Sunrise MarketPlace received
a grant of $10,000 from the
Economic Development Fund
of the Sacramento Municipal
Utility District (SMUD). The
grant was intended to support
the creation of a new brochure
called “Locate in SMP,” which
aims to promote the benefits of
doing business in the Sunrise
MarketPlace area. The brochure
provides potential business
owners and investors with detailed
information about the district’s
economic climate, demographics,
transportation infrastructure, and
available commercial properties.

Additionally, the grant was used to
help connect local businesses with
SMUD’s energy-efficient programs,
which can help them save money
on their utility bills while reducing
their carbon footprint.

Illegal Dumping Ordinance Modification
The City of Citrus Heights modified its “Solid
Waste” Chapter 74 to address illegal dumping more
effectively. The modifications aim to standardize
enforcement and provide clear penalties and a
flexible mechanism to address violations of the
city’s municipal code. These modifications have
been made in an effort to reduce blight, enhance
safety and security, and promote economic
development. Modifications to the municipal code
are planned to ensure that individuals who violate it
can be held accountable for their actions.

The SMP district has historically
focused on marketing and
event planning. However, the
district has experienced a rise
in criminal activity, particularly
in the form of property damage,
trespassing, and theft. Given
the circumstances, it is
imperative that SMP take immediate action to ensure
the safety and security of its businesses, employees,
and community.

The Program
SMP had a contractual agreement with
the Citrus Heights Police Department
to provide a dedicated, full-time officer
through 2023. Additionally, NorCal
Security has been engaged to provide
armed, private officers to assist in
patrolling the District and dealing
with low-level crimes like loitering and
disturbances. The days and hours for
NorCal Security personnel are flexible
and dependent on need.

It is imperative to bear in mind that this
program is not intended to supplant
center or business security and should
not be regarded as the sole source
of security. Instead, it is meant to
complement existing security measures
and enhance overall security and safety
within the area.

In 2021, SMP worked with Wide Open Walls to bring murals to buildings in the District. Murals create a sense of community, beautify spaces, abate graffiti and reduce criminal activity, express historical and cultural identity, and inspire creativity and wonder. As such, they are a powerful tool for making cities more vibrant, engaging, and meaningful places to live. SMP strives to do just that in the heart of Citrus Heights, bringing beautiful murals to walls in the district. In 2023, four more beautiful murals were completed. The murals were partially funded by the City of Citrus Heights Economic Development Support Funds, in which, SMP was awarded $20,000, of which $9,400.00 was invested to create murals in 2023.

What is it? MasterPieces in the MarketPlace is a transformer box art project here in the District, that converts functional utility boxes into works of art, recasting asphalt parking lots into vibrant public art galleries.

It features a variety of iconic works showcasing 19th century, Japanese woodblock, impressionism, abstract and local contemporary art. The project includes artists such as Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir and many more. Utilizing SMUD’s T ransformer Box Wrap Program to enhance the aesthetic environment and deter graffiti, Sunrise MarketPlace is the first to develop a themed instillation of this scale.

With MasterPieces in the MarketPlace, we’ve taken these classic and modern pieces of art, digitized them, printed them on vinyl wraps and applied them to SMUD transformer boxes throughout the Sunrise MarketPlace District. We are using vinyl wraps, instead of hand-painted artwork, as the wraps are easier to install, maintain and replace. Vinyl wraps do not require an artist to work on location, have a life expectancy of 5 or more years and come with a paint- repelling laminate which will further reduce the effects of any graffiti.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE
: March 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FR
OM: Amy Van, City Clerk
SU
BJECT: Change in Regular City Council Meeting Day
Summary and Recommendation
On F
ebruary 8, 2024, two Council Members requested a future agenda item to discuss a change in the regular City Council meeting days.

St
aff recommends the City Council discuss moving Council meetings to the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 6:00 p.m. If there is Council support to change the day of the week for regular meetings, staff would bring an action item to the City Council at a future meeting.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Background and Analysis
Ci
trus Heights Municipal Code Section 2-21(b)(2) provides that the time and place of regular meetings of the City Council shall be fixed by resolution and may be amended from time to time.

Shortly after incorporation, the City Council established a regular Council meeting schedule of the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. In May 2005, the City Council changed its regular meeting schedule to the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. The move to Thursdays was driven by the opportunity for Live broadcasting of its regular meetings on Metro Cable Channel 14. Meetings were previously taped by Metro Cable and rebroadcast at a later date.

Li
ve broadcasting of City Council meetings has been a City goal for several years. In the last decade, there have been a number of improvements in technology that have enabled cities to also broadcast meetings Live on the internet. In March 2020, the City began broadcasting meetings Live on YouTube, thereby creating a wider range of options for residents to view City Council meetings.

Printed on Recycled Paper

With enhanced broadcasting options, staff reviewed the current City Council meeting schedule to determine if the schedule continues to meet the needs of the City Council and community. Upon review staff found there have been regional board meetings that Council participates in, conferences, summer park activities and community group events that generally take place on Thursdays. From time to time the activities conflicted with City Council meetings, and in some instances a council meeting was cancelled to provide Council and staff an opportunity to participate. Staff has evaluated the possibility of moving City Council meetings back to the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month to provide City Council and staff greater opportunity to participate in meetings and events that fall on the second and fourth Thursday.

Moving the day to Wednesdays would also provide staff more time to perform work related to Council approved items as well as time to adequately respond to items requested by Council Members. Furthermore, it would likely result in greater attendance opportunities for members of the public as Wednesday tends to be a less demanding evening than Thursday relative to activities.

If Council meetings were to move to the second and fourth Wednesdays, Metro Cable staff confirmed they are able to broadcast our meetings Live. The only potential conflict with Live broadcasting would be if the County Board of Supervisor’s Wednesday afternoon meeting extended into the evening hours, however based on past experience staff does not anticipate there being a conflict. If there is a conflict the Council meeting would be taped and rebroadcast by Metro Cable, however the meeting would always be Live on YouTube. As shown in the table below, many of the local jurisdiction’s meetings are currently taped by Metro Cable and rebroadcast at a later date. Those cities are utilizing other webcasting services to broadcast their meetings Live.

Jurisdiction Metro Cable Broadcast Schedule
Citrus Heights City Council Live coverage 2nd & 4th Thursday, 6 PM Elk Grove City Council Taped coverage 2nd & 4th Wednesday, 6 PM Folsom City Council Taped coverage 2nd & 4th Tuesday, 6:30 PM Galt City Council Taped coverage 1st & 3rd Tuesday, 6 PM Rancho Cordova City Council Taped coverage 1st & 3rd Monday, 5:30 PM Sacramento City Council Live coverage 1st & 4th Tuesday, 5 PM; 2nd Tuesday, 2 PM
Sacramento County Board of Supervisors Live coverage various Tuesdays (twice a month), 9:30 a.m.

Live coverage various Wednesdays 2:00 p.m.
(if needed)

Currently, staff posts the City Council meeting agendas and agenda packet on the Friday before the Council meeting. This process would remain the same if Council meetings were to move to the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. The Brown Act requires a minimum of 72 hours for posting prior to the meeting, this would continue to allow well in excess of the minimum timeframe with the packet typically being posted on Friday at or before 5:00 PM.

If there is Council support to change the City Council regular meeting schedule, staff would bring an action item to the City Council at a future meeting. Staff would also include Planning Commission meetings in the discussions with a recommendation to move the meetings to the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 6:00 p.m. If supported, staff proposes making the change to the regular meeting days to begin with the Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Council meeting. Staff would engage in a robust communications effort to notify the public through various communication channels including announcements at City Council meetings, a News Flash on our website, article in the City’s electronic newsletter, social media posts, signage at City Hall, and advertisements on Metro Cable Channel 14. Staff would also highlight that it would provide a greater opportunity for public attendance at City Council meetings as they would not conflict with Thursday evening civic activities.
