RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council discuss a change in the regular City Council meeting day and if there is Council support to change the date of the week for regular meetings, staff would bring back an action item to the City Council at a future meeting.

City Clerk Van presented the discussion item on whether or not to move City Council meetings to the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. She noted staff conducted research and evaluated current City Council meeting schedules and have found that there are activities such as community group events, summer park activities, regional board meetings that Council participates in, and conferences that sometimes conflict with Thursday meetings. Staff also spoke with Metro Cable Tevelvision Commission and confirmed they would be able to continue to live stream meetings live on Metro Cable 14, supplemented with live streaming meetings on the City’s YouTube channel. She stated if the Council supported changing the regular meeting schedule, staff would come back at a future meeting with an action item for Council’s consideration.

City Council questions and comments followed.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: April 11, 2023

TO: Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager

SUBJECT: Adoption of Annual Strategic Planning Objectives

Summary and Recommendation

The City Council and staff held a Strategic Planning Retreat on March 28, 2024, where the City Council heard the results of the adopted strategic goals that covered a nine-month planning period ending in March 2024. The Strategic Planning Retreat was held to review the last nine- month goal period and the Focus Area Work Plan from 2022-2024. The City Council and staff set the strategic goals for the next Three-Year Goal period 2024-2027 and objectives for the twelve-month planning period April 2024 to March 2025. The next strategic planning retreat is anticipated to be held in March 2025.

Consistent with the discussion from the retreat, staff have proposed Twelve-Month Strategic Objectives for adoption through March 2025.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Adopting the “Twelve-Month Strategic Objectives for April 2024 to March 2025”.

Council Goal

This item supports all the City Council three-year goals.

Fiscal Impact

There is no fiscal impact with this action. Funding needed to achieve strategic goals and objectives is considered as part of the City’s budget adoption process. Strategic objectives that have potential fiscal impacts or budget ramifications will be discussed when those items are considered at future meetings.

Agenda Packet Page 14
Subject: Adoption of Strategic Planning Objectives
Date: April 11, 2024

Page 2 of 2 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
Background

Since incorporation, Citrus Heights has placed an emphasis on strategic planning to prioritize its policies, programs, and services for the coming year. The City Council, City Manager, and executive staff members participate in the goal and objective-setting process. It is the responsibility of the City Manager to oversee the implementation of the Strategic Plan, coordinating with the City's operating departments and divisions.

Historically, a strategic planning retreat is held where the City Council reviews the goals and identifies a list of objectives to support the core goals. Implementation of these objectives is how the City achieves our shared vision of a city of choice for residents and businesses to prosper and thrive.

Proposed Strategic Goals & Objectives

Consistent with the discussions from the March 28, 2024 Strategic Planning retreat, slight modifications to the existing strategic goals were recommended in setting the new Three-Year Goal period 2024-2027. The revisions are outlined below:

• Maintain and enhance fiscal stability
• Maintain public infrastructure and enhance alternative all modes of transportation
• Diversify for a resilient vibrant economy
• Preserve and enhance public safety
• Enhance community vibrancy and engagement

The recommended draft Strategic Objects Matrix (Attachment 2) serves as a work plan matrix to track the staff-recommended and City Council-approved strategic objectives that are designed to create progress and meet community needs in each focus area. The matrix follows the progress of each recommendation through the life of the twelve-month objective period.

The recommended draft strategic objective statements and implementation measures are specifically designed to be community facing and serving to help address the community focus areas referenced above. The proposed twelve-month strategic objectives for the April 2024 to the March 2025 planning cycle include a number of non-community facing items as well, but are important to the organization and consistent with the discussion that came out of the March 28, 2024 Strategic Planning Retreat. The volume of City Council and staff work anticipated for delivery throughout 2024-2025 continues to be impressive. The City Council will be kept abreast of progress through monthly status reports.

Background and Analysis
The
SMPPBID is a benefit assessment district created in 2000 whose main goal is to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities which constitute and convey a special benefit to assessed parcels. This approach has been used successfully in other cities throughout the country to provide special benefits to property owners, namely increased sales, attraction of new tenants, increased occupancies, and specifically increased property values. Since its’ initial term, the ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 33
Subject: Resolution of Intention to Renew SMPPBID
Date: April 11, 2024

Page 2 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
SMPPBID has been renewed every term, with the most recent renewal being in 2021 for a three (3) year term.

SMPPBID property owners decided to pursue renewal of the SMPPBID in order to continue a revenue source devoted to providing special benefits to assessed property owners. If renewed, the SMPPBID would generate approximately $882,637.95 in assessment revenue on an annual basis for district enhancement programs, economic development, and related policy development and administration services that are above and beyond those provided by the City of Citrus Heights (City) and other government agencies.

MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLAN
The Management District Plan (Plan) (Attachment 3) includes the proposed boundary of the SMPPBID, a service plan, assessment methodology, budget, proposed means of governance, and Engineer’s Report. The SMPPBID is located in a regionally important commercial district of the City of Citrus Heights which includes several shopping centers, restaurants, retail and professional services. The boundaries of the SMPPBID are shown on the map included in the Plan.

This SMPPBID renewal will have a ten (10) year term, beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2034. Near the end of the term, the petition, ballot, and City Council hearing process must be repeated for the SMPPBID to be renewed.

The assessment rate (cost to the parcel owner) is based on parcel type and parcel size. The initial annual rate to each parcel is shown in the table below.

Parcel Type Assessment Rate (per sq. ft.)
Retail $0.07
Other Commercial $0.045

As provided by State Law, the SMPPBID assessment will appear as a separate line item on annual property tax bills prepared by the County of Sacramento. Property tax bills are generally distributed in the fall, and payment is expected by lump sum or installment. The City of Citrus Heights shall distribute funds collected to the owners’ Association. Existing laws for enforcement and appeal of property taxes, including penalties and interest, apply to the SMPPBID assessments. Sunrise MarketPlace, Inc. (SMP) will continue to serve as the Owners’ Association for the SMPPBID.

SMPPBID RENEWAL PROCESS

April 11, 2024 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION & FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE Upon the submission of a written petition, signed by the property owners in the renewed SMPPBID who will pay more than fifty percent (50%) of the assessments proposed to be levied, the Citrus Heights City Council (Council) may initiate proceedings to renew the SMPPBID by the adoption of a resolution expressing its intention to renew the SMPPBID.

ITEM 11

Subject: Resolution of Intention to Renew SMPPBID
Date: April 11, 2024

Page 3 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

Petition Status: Petitions in favor of SMPPBID renewal were submitted by property owners, which represent 53% of the total SMPPBID assessment.

This majority petition allows the Council to initiate proceedings for SMPPBID renewal at the April 11, 2024 meeting.

Council shall conduct the first reading and introduce the ordinance proposing renewal of the SMPPBID and levying the assessments.

April 29, 2024 NOTICE & PROPOSITION 218 BALLOT
The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 and Proposition 218 require that the City mail written notice and assessment ballots to the owners of all property proposed to be assessed within the renewed SMPPBID. Mailing the notice and assessment ballot begins a mandatory forty-five (45) day period in which owners may cast ballots.

June 13, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING & BALLOT TABULATION
Council will open a public hearing and receive public testimony. At the end of testimony, Council will close the public hearing and direct tabulation of assessment ballots submitted and not withdrawn to determine whether there is a majority protest against the assessment. A majority protest exists if the ballots in opposition to the proposed assessment exceed the ballots in support of the proposed assessment, weighted by the amount each owner will pay. If there is no majority protest, Council may adopt a resolution of formation and move to hold a second reading of the ordinance renewing the SMPPBID and levying the assessment. Upon successful passage of the resolution and ordinance, the SMPPBID shall be renewed, and the ordinance shall go into effect thirty (30) days after the successful passage of the ordinance.

I. OVERVIEW

The Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (Str. & Hwy Code Sec. 36600 et sec.) (the “Law”) permits cities to establish Property and Business Improvement Districts (“PBID”’s), and to levy assessments against real property in the PBID to fund improvements , maintenance and activities that provide special benefits to property in the PBID. A PBID is a program of a city but is often administered under contract by a local nonprofit organization.

This Management District Plan (“MDP”) proposes a ten (10) year renewal pursuant to the Law for the existing Sunrise MarketPlace Property and Business Improvement District (“SMPPBID”). If the renewal is approved, the SMPPBID, which is currently scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2024, would be extended through December 31, 20 34. This MDP would govern SMPPBID during the period from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 20 34. If the renewal is approved, the City of Citrus Heights would continue to contract with Sunrise MarketPlace, Inc. to administer the SMPPBID program and provide the SMPPBID’s activities and services.

Location: The SMPPBID is located in a regionally important commercial district of the City of Citrus Heights which includes several shopping centers, restaurants , retail and professional services. The boundary generally includes parcels along both sides of Sunrise Boulevard between Madison Avenue in the south and Arcadia Drive in the north; parcels along the east side of Sunrise Boulevard north of Arcadia Drive as depicted on the map parcels along both sides of Greenback Lane between Birdcage Street in the west and Fair Oaks Boulevard in the east. The boundaries of the SMPPBID are shown on the map on page 9. The SMPPBID is not divided into multiple benefit zones.

Purpose: The purpose of the SMPPBID is to provide marketing activities, maintenance, security, and improvements that convey special benefits to assessed parcels. The SMPPBID will provide district enhancement programs, economic development, and related policy development and administration directly and only to assessed parcels within its boundaries.

Budget: The SMPPBID annual assessment budget for the initial year of its ten-year renewal period is anticipated to be $ 882,637.95. The annual budget may be subject to an increase in assessment rates of no more than five percent (5%) per year. The assessment funds will be supplemented by non-assessment funds (such as grants and event income) so that the total budget for the initial year is estimated at $910,472.39.

Cost: The assessment rate (cost to the parcel owner) is based on parcel type and parcel size.

The initial annual rate to each parcel is shown in the table below.

Parcel Type Assessment Rate (per sq. ft.)
Retail $0.07
Other Commercial $0.045

Assessments will be collected annually on the County- administered property tax bill so, for example, the assessment for Calendar Year 2025 will be collected by the County on the 202 4-2025 property tax bill, which has two equal installments payable in December 2024 and April 2025.

ITEM 11

SMPBID Management District Plan

Page 4 ends

No bonds will be issued in connection with the SMPPBID.

Renewal: State law gives the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights discretion to extend the life of the SMPPBID beyond its currently proposed December 31, 2034, sunset. The Council cannot exercise its discretion to initiate proceedings to renew the SMPPBID unless it receives a petition for renewal from property owners who will pay more than 50 percent (50%) of the assessments proposed to be levied.

If the Council receives a petition and chooses to initiate renewal proceedings, the City will conduct a mail ballot protest proceeding as part of which, at least 45 days prior to the public hearing on renewal, a notice and ballot will be mailed to the owner of each parcel of real property subject to the assessment. If, as of the close of the public hearing, the number of ballots returned in opposition to renewal (weighted by the amount of the assessment upon the property for which the ballot is submitted) exceeds the number of ballots returned in support of renewal (also so weighted), then the Council may not renew the SMPPBID. This event is known as a majority protest. If there is no majority protest, then the City Council may decide to renew the SMPPBID.

Duration: This SMPPBID renewal will have a ten (10) year term, beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2034. If the renewal is not approved, the current term of the SMPPBID will end December 31, 2024 . If this renewal is approved, a ny further extension of the SMPPBID’s life beyond 2034 will require another renewal proceeding.

Management: Sunrise MarketPlace, Inc. will continue to serve as the Owners’ Association for the SMPPBID.

II. BACKGROUND

Formation

The City of Citrus Heights was incorporated in 1997. One of its first acts was to recommend creating a Property Based Business Improvement District (PBID) to address growing competition in the region and maintain the viability of the City’s primary economic engine. City staff and property owners worked together to form the Sunrise MarketPlace PBID (SMPPBID). Property owners paying nearly 65% of the total annual assessment signed positive petitions to establish the District.

Of those property owners who sent in signed ballots, 85% voted to establish the District.

First Term 2000 – 2004

The first PBID term was for five years (the maximum allowed by law at the time) and ran from 2000 through 2004. Assessment rates: properties zoned for retail: $.04 per square foot of land per year and business professional uses at: $.02. The annual budget of $495,000 was not increased throughout the first term. Boundaries included approximately 10 blocks in the City of Citrus Heights which includes an area around Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane. Services included:
• Identity and branding - programs and marketing created a cohesive destination of hundreds of businesses. Installation of wayfinding signage and banners to note the physical boundaries of the District were installed.
• Marketing: activities included advertising, direct mail, website, and other means were utilized to promote businesses and drive traffic.
• Special Events - activities were implemented to create awareness and drive traffic to the District and create an emotional connection with consumers. The District hosted Billie Jean King’s World Team Tennis (WTT) tournament from 2002 through 2005, which brought star players such as Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, and many others. • Market Research/Strategic Planning: on-site intercept and telephone surveys were completed to obtain demographic and psychographic data. • Economic Development - programs were launched in conjunction with the City and local brokers to retain and attract businesses.
• Advocacy - efforts were launched to promote business interests and allow the business community to speak with one voice.

Second Term 2005-2009

In 2005, the SMPPBID was renewed for a second term. Property owners paying nearly 70% of the total annual assessment signed positive petitions to establish the District. Of those property owners who sent in signed ballots, 64% voted to renew the District.

The second term was for five years (the maximum allowed by law at the time) and ran from 2000 through 2004. Assessment rates: properties zoned for retail: $.05 per square foot of land per year and business professional uses at: $.025. The annual budget of $625,000 was not increased throughout the second term. Boundaries and Services did not change with a primary focus on marketing and special events. The District hosted the World Team Tennis in 2006 featuring Anna Kournikova. In 2007/08, the SMPPBID worked with the City to develop a comprehensive, long- ITEM 11

term vision for the District. In 2008, “LocateinSMP” was launched to provide brokers with information and promote vacant spaces in the District.

Third Term 2010-2014

In 2010, the SMPPBID was renewed for a third term. Property owners paying 58% of the proposed assessment, signed positive petitions to renew the District. Of those property owners who sent in signed ballots, 92% voted to renew the District.

The third PBID term was for also for five years and ran from 2010 through 2014. Assessment rates were not increased: properties zoned for retail: $.05 per square foot of land per year and business professional uses at: $.025. The annual budget of $625,000 was not increased throughout the second term. Boundaries and Services did not change with a primary focus on large signature special events with the goal of reaching a broader audience and driving traffic to the District. The District hosted the WTT League from 2011 thru 2013 featuring star players such as Venus Williams and the Bryan Brothers. In 2012 and 2013, the SMPPBID hosted a multi-million-dollar concert series featuring talent such as Blondie, DEVO, America, Blue Oyster Cult and many others drawing nearly 25,000 to the District.

Fourth Term 2014-2021

In 2014, the SMPPBID was renewed for a fourth term. Property owners paying 53.6% of the proposed assessment, signed positive petitions to renew the District. Of those property owners who sent in signed ballots, 71% voted to renew the District.

In the fourth term, SMPPBID increased the term to seven years, running from 2014 through 2021.

Assessment rates were also increased: properties zoned for retail: $.06 per square foot of land per year and business professional uses at: $.03. The annual budget of $753,000 was not increased throughout the second term. Boundaries and Services remained the same with an emphasis on special events and increased social media presence. In 2015, the District hosted World Team Tennis a final time featuring Serena Williams.

In 2016, the SMPPBID partnered with emergency service providers such as FEMA, OES, City of Citrus Heights, the police department, Sacramento Metro Fire, and many others to produce Dare to Prepare a comprehensive emergency preparedness event for the community. In 2019, the SMPPBID celebrated 20 years with a variety of events and promotions. In 2020, the SMPPBID contracted with the Citrus Heights Police Department for an officer dedicated to patrolling the District 40 hours per week. The SMPPBID also provided support for business and property owners in response to COVID related business impacts. Support included: PPE, signage, social distancing materials and additional marketing.

Fifth Term 2021-2024
In 2021, the SMPPBID was renewed for a fifth term. Property owners paying 60.16% of the proposed assessment, signed positive petitions to renew the District. A total of 44 ballots were received representing $458,427 in assessments. Of those, 40 ballots, representing $443,962 in assessments, voted YES to renew the PBID. Four ballots, representing $14,464 in assessments, voted NO; 96% of ballots voted to renew the District.

In the fifth (current) term, the City of Citrus Heights authorized a term of three (3) years, running from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Assessment rates were as follows: properties zoned for retail: $.0669 per square foot of land per year and business professional uses at: $.0369.

The annual assessment budget was estimated at $847,420. Boundaries and Services remained the same with an emphasis on special events and increased social media presence.

The SMPPBID is in the second year of its three-year term. In this term, the SMPPBID added clean and safe programs: public safety and maintenance while continuing marketing, special events, economic development, and advocacy programs. In 2022, SMP moved their office to a new location in the Greenfaire Village shopping center at the NW corner of Fair Oaks and Greenback. The new office features a well- equipped conference room that District business and property owners may utilize for meetings.

To protect our businesses, their employees, and consumers, we contract with the Citrus Heights Police Department for a dedicated on-duty police officer to patrol the District. Additionally, the District contracts with Nor-Cal, private armed security, to assist the officer and provide coverage when the officer is off duty. In 2022, Nor-Cal responded to 1,008 incidents and handled 620 transient interactions. Together, the dedicated officer and Nor-Cal have prevented dozens of thefts and recovered thousands of dollars in merchandise. Having consistent security also prevents homeless camps from taking root. SMP monitors the area for issues. In 2023, after businesses experienced problems with large trucks parking on the street in front of their storefronts, we requested an ordinance to regulate the parking. The ordinance was approved and is now active. SMP is currently working with the City on an illegal dumping ordinance.

The District provides services aimed at keeping the area clean, safe, and attractive. We work closely with the City’s beautification team to maintain the integrity of the public areas. As an added layer of maintenance, SMP provides janitorial porter service Monday through Friday. The porter picks up and returns abandoned shopping carts, cleans graffiti, removes illegally dumped items, and picks up debris throughout the District. From April 2022 through April 2023, the porter picked up 700 bags of trash, removed 300 dumped items, returned 1,251 shopping carts and removed 178 graffiti tags.

Businesses benefit from a regular schedule of advertising, including robust social media advertising and active Facebook and Instagram pages. We’ve given away $15,000 in gift cards to our businesses.

ITEM 11

Businesses are also promoted on our website and social media sites. We push out information to our list of 10,000 consumers. Additionally, we promote business-related events, grand openings and promotions. We host events throughout the year driving traffic to the District and we support and sponsor our business and shopping center events. One of our largest events, Brews in the Burbs, draws nearly 1,000 people to the area. Magical Moments events draw crowds during the Holiday Season. Promotional giveaways also bring consumers to the District.

SMPPBID funds are utilized to
create an attractive and inviting
physical environment. Colorful banners, vibrant holiday décor, palm-tree lights, public art, and other wayfinding elements foster a strong sense of destination. The District is home to several colorful art- wrapped utility boxes via our Masterpieces in the MarketPlace project. The boxes create a public art gallery and introduce masters such as Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and others to consumers and residents. The District also boasts several murals with SMPPBID providing mural grants to interested businesses.

SMP LEVERAGES ASSESSMENT FOR ADDITIONAL

FUNDING
The District is funded through a portion of property taxes equaling $836,000. Staff leveraged this assessment to obtain grants. In 2022, SMP received $100,000 in American Rescue Plan funds from the County and a $5,000 public art grant from the City of Citrus Heights. In 2023, SMP has received two grants from SMUD totaling $30,000, a Sacramento County Grant of $10,000 and City art grant of $20,000.

IV. SERVICE PLAN & BUDGET

A. Improvements, Maintenance and Activities
The SMPPBID will provide supplemental improvements, maintenance and activities that are customarily above and beyond those provided by the City and other government agencies. The improvements, maintenance, and activities will be provided directly and only to assessed parcels; they will not be provided to parcels that are not assessed. The types of improvements, maintenance, and activities described below will be provided in each of the three years of the renewal term.

1. District Enhancement Program
The District Enhancement Program will promote and provide improvements, maintenance, and activities to assessed properties through the implementation of three sub- programs:
marketing & special events, public safety, and public area improvements. A description of each sub-program is provided below:

Marketing & Special Events
The SMPPBID will market the District to its primary trade zone, which includes those areas immediately adjacent to the SMPPBID (Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Antelope, North Highlands and the unincorporated County). The marketing program will create awareness for the District and its businesses, positioning SMP as a n attractive, convenient, added-value shopping and business destination. The SMPPBID will utilize a variety of digital platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, fostering loyalty and engagement with consumers for District businesses. The SMPPBID will create awareness for all businesses on the website directory. The website will also host information on special events, promotions and contests. The SMPPBID will work with digital media companies to specifically target geographic and demographically desirable consumers.

Signage, collateral material (fliers and brochures) will be utilized to promote the area.

Additionally, all businesses and their events are included on the websit e. The SMPPBID will monitor the effectiveness of digital programs via monthly analytics including website traffic, time spent on site, pages visited, etc. Analytics for social media will be collected and analyzed including Facebook and Instagram followers, l ikes, shares, and comments.

This information will be used to fine -tune or make changes to improve programs. The SMPPBID may also execute Market Research projects to understand the demographic (age, gender, education, income) and psychographic (spending habits, interests, event/entertainment preferences) information of its consumers. This inform ation will primarily be utilized internally to craft programs and services that will be attractive to SMPPBID consumers. Market Research will also be made available to District property and business owners to support their own marketing efforts.

Special events will be an important pillar of SMPPBID programs. Events create positive awareness, drive traffic to the area and cultivate a positive emotional connection with customers. Industry research has shown that people look for experiences when patronizing businesses and shopping centers. These will include both small and larger signature events; along with sponsorship of third- party events and events hosted by businesses within the SMPPBID.

Clean and Safe
ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 54
March 14, 2024
SMPBID Management District Plan

Page 11 ends

The SMPPBID will fund s ecurity services that will focus on making the District a safer place to do business. Security services may include dedicated patrols by officers of the Citrus Heights Police Department or supplemental private security patrols. A regular patrol schedule will be established to serve properties throughout the Di strict. The schedule will take into consideration those times of day in which incidents are most likely to occur. The patrol will seek to serve as both a deterrent by creating a visible presence, and a respondent to incidences that occur. These services may include, but are not limited to, a security navigator, lot cops, drones and bait material.

Maintenance services on both public and private property will keep the District free of abandoned shopping carts, trash, illegally dumped items, and graffiti. A porter services the District for several hours a week.

Public Area Improvements
Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. has leveraged the SMPPBID to generate more than $5 million of public area signage and improvements over the life of the SMPPBID. SMP will continue to work with the City to ensure the public areas remain well-groomed and attractive. The SMPPBID may also partner with local and regional organizations to facilitate public and private area improvement projects. Festive street banners promoting District attributes, entryway and wayfinding signage will be maintained.

Holiday décor will continue to accompany holiday events to create a desirable shopping destination for the important holiday season. The SMPPBID will continue to partner with SMUD rolling out additional phases of “MasterPieces in the MarketPlace”- District utility boxes wrapped in both local and famous works of art. SMPPBID will assist businesses that wish to have a mural on site with funding. Public art will become a vital part of the District

2. Economic Development
Economic development activities will be aimed at attracting and retaining tenants. Efforts will also be undertaken to work with the City on programs and vision plans that promote the needs of assessed parcels. SMP may also include Strategic Planning and Vi sioning for the overall benefit of the SMPPBID. Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. launched LocateinSMP as a focus on business retention and recruitment. SMP will continue to work closely with property owners and the broker community to promote vacancies and developments in the SMPPBID. Staff will continue to work closely with business and property owners, assisting in the planning and entitlement phase of projects as well as supporting potential tenant negotiations.

The SMPPBID will conduct Economic development activities which will include primarily business retention and attraction activities. These will include assisting new businesses and developers through the planning and entitlement process and other needs to provide for a smooth opening. The SMPPBID will act as a liaison between businesses and the City, Fire and Police Departments to help resolve issues code enforcement disputes, signage and use restrictions.

The SMPPBID will provide information and resources including market research to brokers and developers interested in the District through the LocateinSMP program . The SMPPBID will work with the City on zoning and signage to ensure a business and developer -friendly environment to encourage new businesses to open and existing owners to invest in their properties.

3. Administration and Policy Development
The administration portion of the budget will be utilized for administrative costs associated with providing the services. Those costs may include rent, telephone charges, legal fees, accounting fees, postage, administrative staff, insurance, and other general office expenses. The SMPPBID will provide alerts regarding, city, region and state news affecting business and property owners.

Staff will continue to assist business and property owners with issues ranging from public safety to signage. SMP will continue to host seminars with the Secret Service, CHPD, FBI, marketing experts and others.

4. Contingency/Reserve
The budget includes a contingency line item to account for uncollected assessments, if any. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other program, administration or renewal costs at the discretion of the Owners’ Association.

Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the Board of Directors of the Owners’ Association. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the SMPPBID.

B. Annual Assessment Budget
A projected ten (10) year budget for the SMPPBID is provided below. The overall budget will remain consistent with this MDP. In the event of a legal challenge, assessment funds may be used to defend the SMPPBID. The annual budget is based on the following assumptions and guidelines:

1. The cost of providing improvements, maintenance, and activities may vary depending upon the market cost for those improvements, maintenance, and activities. Expenditures may require adjustment up or down to continue the intended level of improvements , maintenance, and activities. The Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. shall annually have the ability to re-allocate up to fifteen percent (15%) of the budget allocation by the total budget per year. Any change will be approved by the Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. and submitted with the Annual Report.

2. Funds not spent in any given year may be rolled over to the next year.

3. The assessment rate may be subject to annual increases that will not exceed five percent (5%) per year. Increases will be determined by the Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace and will vary each year. The projections below illustrate the maximum annual five percent (5%) increase for all budget items.

4. Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that improvement, maintenance, or activity. For example, the economic development budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the economic development programs. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administration and policy development portion of the budget. The costs of an individual staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the SMPPBID improvements, maintenance, and activities will be determined by the Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. on an as- needed basis.

C. Assessment Budget
The total improvement , maintenance, and activity budget for 2025 is $910,472.39, of which the amount funded by property assessments is $ 882,637.95. In addition to the assessment revenue, the programs will be supplemented by non- assessed funds. The total of non- assessment funds, and the ITEM 11

determination of special and general benefit, is included in the Engineer’s Report. The total of assessment and non- assessment funds is provided in Appendix 4. Below is an illustration of the estimated total budget allocations for each budget category for the initial year of the SMPPBID. The allocation of the assessment funds is governed by Section E. Non- assessment funds may be shifted between budget categories as needed by the Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc.

D. Annual Budget
If there are no changes to the categorical assessment budget allocations, below is a ten ( 10) year estimated annual projection of the budget. The following table lists the improvements, maintenance and activities proposed for each year of operation of the District and the estimated maximum costs thereof, if maximum assessment increases are not adopted pursuant to this Plan.

V. GOVERNANCE

A. Owners’ Association
The District shall continue to be governed by Sunrise MarketPlace Inc., with oversight from the Citrus Heights City Council. Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. will serve as the Owners’ Association described in the Streets and Highways Code §36651. The Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. and its staff are charged with the day-to-day operations of the SMPPBID.

A majority of the Board of Directors of Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. must be parcel owners paying the assessment.

B. Brown Act & Public Records Act Compliance
An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may members of its Board of Directors or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are des igned to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association must act as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. Board of Directors and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record-keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act.

C. Annual Report
Sunrise MarketPlace Inc. shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 2). The annual report must include:

1. Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the SMPPBID or in any benefit zones or classification of property within the district;

2. The improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year;

3. The estimated cost of providing the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year;

4. The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each real property owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her property for that fiscal year;

5. The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year; and

6. The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this MDP.

VI. ENGINEER’S REPORT

I. ENGINEER’S REPORT
The SMPPBID’s parcel assessments will be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII D of the California Constitution. Article XIII D provides that “only special benefits are assessable,”1 and requires the City to “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel.”2 Special benefits are a “particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public -at-large.”3 Conversely, a general benefit is “conferred on real property located in the district or to the public -at-large.”4 Assessment law also mandates that “no assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”5

The Engineer determined the total cost of the improvements, maintenance and activities, quantified the general benefit accruing to the public-at-large and non-assessed parcels adjacent to and within the District, and separated that amount from the special benefit accruing to the assessed parcels. Then, the Engineer determined the proportional special benefit derived by each parcel and allocated the special benefit value of the improvements, maintenance, and activities accordingly. The Engineer’s determinations and detailed calculations are summarized in this report.

A. Separation of General and Special Benefits
Each of the improvements, maintenance and activities, and the associated costs and assessments within the SMPPBID, were reviewed, identified, and allocated based on special and general benefits pursuant to Article XIII D of the California Constitution. The assessment has been apportioned based on the proportional special benefits conferred to the assessed parcels located within the SMPPBID boundaries as determined below.

1. General Benefits

The California Constitution mandates that “only special benefits are assessable, and an agency shall separate the general benefits from the special benefits.” 6 “Generally, this separation and quantification of
general and special benefits must be accomplished by apportioning the cost of a service or improvement between the two and assessing property owners only for the portion of the cost representing special benefits.”
7 The first step that must be undertaken to separate general and special benefits provided by the PBID’s improvements, maintenance and activities is to identify and quantify the general benefits.

i. General Benefit to the Public-at-Large
Although the improvements, maintenance, and activities are narrowly designed and carefully implemented to specially benefit the assessed parcels, and are only provided directly to assessed parcels, they will generate a general benefit to the public-at-large within the SMPPBID. State law indicates that “Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed.” 8 1 Cal. Const., art. XIII D, §4(a)

However, “the mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits.”9 Further, “the value of any incidental or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance or activities of a property-based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel.”10

To quantify the amount of general benefit to the public-at-large, an intercept survey was conducted in the SMPPBID boundary in 2019 to determine the reasons why members of the public were present within SMPPBID boundaries11. Those members of the public who were within the SMPPBID to conduct some sort of business, or were likely to conduct some sort of business, on assessed parcels (shopping, dining, personal business) are considered special benefit. Those members of the public who were merely passing through, and not conducting or likely to conduct any sort of business on assessed parcels, are considered general benefit. Based on the information collected in this intercept survey, it is estimated that 1.3% of the benefit created by the SMPPBID improvements, maintenance, and activities is provided to the public- at-large. To ensure that the assessment dollars do not fund general benefits to the public-at-large, that portion of the cost of services will be paid for with funds not obtained through assessments. Out of an abundance of caution, the 1.3% figure was rounded to 2% for the purposes of this Engineers Report.

Using the 2% figure, the value of general benefit to the public-at-large is estimated to be $18,209.45. ($910,472.39 * 2.0%).

ii. General Benefit to Non-Assessed Parcels
Although they are only provided directly to the assessed parcels, the SMPPBID’s improvements, maintenance, and activities may also confer general benefits upon non -assessed parcels within and surrounding the SMPPBID. The California Court of Appeal has found that “services specifically intended for assessed parcels concomitantly confer collateral general benefits to surrounding properties.” 12 It is
reasonable to conclude that improvements, maintenance, and activities within the SMPPBID will have an incidental impact on non- assessed parcels surrounding or within the SMPPBID boundaries. Although the legislature has indicated that “the value of any incidental or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property-based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit,” 13 the California
Court of Appeals has noted that “the characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement…or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement.”14 Those derivative and indirect impacts are considered general benefits and will be quantified and separated.

In this Engineer’s opinion, because improvements, maintenance, and activities are provided only within the SMPPBID and on its perimeter, parcels separated from the SMPPBID by either at least one intervening parcel or an impassable physical barrier such as a wall, freeway, or ditch will not receive spill over benefits. Parcels separated from the SMPPBID will not benefit because they are physically removed from the actual

location of improvements, maintenance, and activities provided, and do not face serviced parcels.

Therefore, this analysis considers non- assessed parcels within the SMPPBID’s boundaries and surrounding parcels that are immediately adjacent to and accessible from the SMPPBID’s boundaries.

The total SMPPBID improvements, maintenance, and activities budget for the initial year of renewal is $910,472.39. After reducing the improvements, maintenance, and activities budget by the general benefit to the public-at-large ($18,209.45), the remaining benefit to parcels is $892,262.94. This benefit has been distributed to both assessed and non- assessed parcels using the following methodology. The general benefit to the public -at-large has been proportionally allocated to the SMPPBID‘s improvements, maintenance, and activities categories as shown in the following table.

Category Benefit to Parcels Benefit to Public-
at-Large
Total
District Enhancement Programs $669,288.62 $13,658.95 $682,947.57 Economic Development $44,521.73 $908.61 $45,430.34
Administration & Policy Development $160,607.33 $3,277.70 $163,885.03 Contingency $17,845.26 $364.19 $18,209.45
Total $892,262.94 $18,209.45 $910,472.39

To determine the general benefit to parcels, the Engineer assigned each parcel group a benefit factor, determined the appropriate parcel characteristic to use in the calculation, multiplied the benefit factor by the benefit characteristic to determine the benefit units attributable to each parcel group, and apportioned the remaining service cost (service cost minus general benefit to the public) in accordance with the benefit units derived by each parcel group.

i. Benefit Factors

All parcels within and adjacent to the SMPPBID have been assigned a benefit factor to mathematically represent the proportional special and general benefit and quantify the value of each. The determination of benefit factors for each type of improvement, maintenance, and activity follows.

Improvements

The improvements to be provided by the SMPPBID provide two types of special benefits:
• Improvement – The primary special benefit provided by the SMPPBID’s improvements is the improvements themselves, which are available to tenants and customers of assessed parcels. • Proximity – The SMPPBID’s improvements also provide the special benefit of being in proximity to a parcel that is benefitting from an improvement, as parcels will enjoy the spillover benefits of neighboring parcels utilizing the improvements.

The majority of the benefit is the improvements themselves; proximity is a lesser benefit. It is this Engineer’s estimation that eighty -five percent (85%) of the special benefit from the SMPPBID’s improvements is the improvement, while the proximity special benefit accounts for fifteen percent (15%) of the special benefit. Assessed parcels will receive both benefits; non-assessed parcels within and adjacent to the SMPPBID will not be directly improved, and therefore only receive the general benefit of proximity.

Tangible Activities

The tangible activities (those that are physically provided via a person or people working throughout the district) to be provided by the SMPPBID generate three types of special benefits:

• Service – The primary special benefit provided by the SMPPBID’s physical activities is the actual service. That is, the actual cleanliness and safety created by security and maintenance clean and safe personnel.
• Presence – The SMPPBID’s physical activities also provide the special benefit of an individual’s presence on the assessed parcel as the activities are provided, which can have a deterrent effect and creates a positive impression that the area is well -maintained and safe. The “Disneyland effect” is the benefit the parcels receive from the observation that parcels are being maintained.

There are studies which link the perception of cleanliness to a perception of increased security. • Proximity – The SMPPBID’s physical activities also provide the special benefit of being in proximity to a cleaner, safer parcel. Neighboring parcels enjoy the spillover benefits of being adjacent to increased safety and cleanliness.

The majority of the benefit received by the parcels is the results of the SMPPBID’s services; onsite presence and proximity are lesser benefits. It is this Engineer’s estimation that seventy-five percent (75%) of the special benefit from the SMPPBID’s phys ical activities is the service, while the presence and proximity benefits each account for twelve and one-half percent (12.5% presence, 12.5% proximity) of the special benefit. Assessed parcels will receive all three benefits; non -assessed parcels within a nd adjacent to the District will not be directly serviced and therefore only receive the general benefit of proximity.

Intangible Activities

Some of the SMPPBID’s activities, such as marketing, are distinct in that they are not provided to a targeted area within the SMPPBID, rather they are provided via internet, radio, and other forms of media and targeted at an audience outside the SMPPBID in an effort to bring the audience into the SMPPBID.

These activities provide the special benefits of promotion:

• Direct Promotion – The primary special benefit provided by the SMPPBID’s intangible activities is promotion. The intangible activities increase awareness of the SMPPBID as a commercial and business destination and lead to increased patronage.

Factors Determined

Based on the foregoing analysis, all assessed parcels within the SMPPBID specially benefit from the SMPPBID’s activities and improvements, and have been assigned a benefit factor of 1.0. Parcels that are not assessed have been assigned benefit factors based on the portion of the benefit they will receive, as described above. Instead, the non-assessed parcels will benefit from twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the tangible activities and ten percent (10%) of the intangible activities; therefore, they ha ve been assigned benefit factors of 0.125 and 0.10 respectively.

ii. Non-Assessed Benefit Characteristics
ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 63
March 14, 2024
SMPBID Management District Plan

Page 20 ends

There are two types of parcels that are not assessed; those within the SMPPBID and those immediately adjacent to and accessible from the SMPPBID. Because they generally benefit in a differing manner, distinct parcel characteristics are used to quantify the general benefit to each type. • Inside – Non-assessed parcels inside of the SMPPBID are surrounded by parcels that are assessed and receiving the full special benefits; they will, therefore, receive the general benefit of proximity.

These parcels are impacted on more than one side by the SMPPBI D’s improvements, maintenance, and activities and improvements are provided all around them. Because these parcels are surrounded by specially benefitted parcels, it is appropriate that parcel square footage be used to measure the general benefit they receive.
• Adjacent – Adjacent parcels are those that are immediately adjacent to or directly across the street from specially benefitted parcels, and accessible from specially benefitted parcels. These parcels generally benefit differently than those inside the SMPPBID, because these parcels are adjacent to, rather than surrounded by, specially benefitted parcels. Square footage is not an appropriate measure of benefit to these parcels. Because the parcels are not surrounded by serviced parcels, a long, shallow parcel with the same square footage as a deep, narrow parcel will receive a different level of general benefit. Likewise, two parcels with the same depth but a different width adjacent to serviced parcels will benefit differently. To account for this difference, it is appropriate that parcel linear frontage be used to measure the general benefit the adjacent parcels receive. The linear footage is the length of parcels fronting public streets. The amount listed for “assessed linear feet” is the value for all assessed parcels within the SMPPBID and the amount listed for “non-assessed linear feet” is the value for all non -assessed parcels adjacent to the district boundary.

iii. Calculations
To quantify and separate the general benefit to non -assessed parcels, the following calculations were undertaken for each budget category.

1. The total service budget for each category was determined and the amount of general benefit to the public-at-large was subtracted from the category budget.

2. The benefit factor applicable to each improvement, maintenance, and activity was multiplied by the parcel square footage or linear frontage of assessed and non-assessed parcels, to determine the number of benefit units received by each parcel group.

3. The benefit units for all parcel groups were summed, and the percentage of benefit units attributable to each parcel group was calculated.

4. The total remaining improvements, maintenance, and activities budget, less the amount already determined to be general benefit to the public-at-large, was allocated to general and special benefit categories for each parcel group using the calculated benefit percent and applicable benefit characteristic methodology.

5. The special and general benefit resulting from the administration and policy development / contingency portions of the budget were determined based on the proportional allocation of benefits derived from improvements, maintenance, and activities.

District Enhancement Programs

The district enhancement programs budget, minus the amount of general benefit to the public-at-large, is $669,288.62. The calculations below determine the amount of general benefit to non-assessed parcels within the SMPPBID.

c. Non-Assessment Funding
The programs funded by the SMPPBID receive additional non-assessment funding in the form of grants, corporate sponsorships, event income, and other miscellaneous funds. These funding sources are anticipated to equal or exceed the amount of general benefit conferred annually by the SMPPBID’s improvements, maintenance, and activities, $27,834.44. These non-assessment funds will be used to pay for the general benefit provided by the SMPPBID’s improvements, maintenance, and activities, ensuring that parcel assessments will only be used to provide special benefits and “any additional costs of providing general benefits [are] not included in the amounts assessed.” 15 15 Streets and Highways Code section 36632(a)

Page 23 ends

2. Special Benefit
The improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided by the SMPPBID constitute and convey special benefits directly to the assessed parcels. Assessment law requires that “the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided.”
16 Further, “no assessment shall be imposed on any
parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”17 Special benefit “includes incidental or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of property-based districts even if those incidental or collateral effects benefit property or persons not assessed.”18

To determine the total special benefit value to be conveyed to the assessed parcels, we deduct the general benefit value ( $27,834.44) from the total value of the improvements, maintenance, and activities ($910,472.39). The remaining $882,637.95 is considered the special benefit to assessed parcels (the “Total Assessment”). The Total Assessment represents the total value of the special benefit to be provided by the improvements, maintenance, and activities. The Total Assessment has been proportionally divided among the assessed parcels so that no assessment exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on a parcel. The assessment rate has been designed to ensure that “properties that receive the same proportionate special benefit pay the same assessment.” 19 Service Provided Total Benefit

B. Assessment Methodology

1. Base Formula
Each parcel will be assessed based on proportional special benefits received. The variables used for the annual assessment formula are parcel type and parcel square footage. These variables are appropriate measures of the proportional special benefit because the need for services, level of services, and quantity of services are all relative to these variables; thus the special benefit provided to each parcel by the services can be proportionally measured using these variables.

Page 24 ends

Determination of Assessment Rates
“Because not all parcels in the district are identical in size…some will receive more special benefit than others.”20 Each of the variables used relates directly to the service level and special benefit provided to each parcel. Parcel square footage is the size of the parcel, measured in square feet. The larger a parcel, the more services and benefit the parcel will receive.

Because not all parcels in the SMPPBID are identical in use, some will receive more special benefit than others. For example, an office use parcel will benefit to a lesser degree than a retail use parcel, because it will not enjoy an equivalent amount of benefit from the increased commerce resulting from the services.

Further detail on the benefit to each parcel type is in the following pages. To determine the assessment rates, the assessed parcels were classified by the estimated benefit each type of parce l receives, the estimated special benefit value of the improvements, maintenance, and activities provided to each type was determined based on approximate cost of service provision, and an assessment rate that is proportional to the estimated proportional benefit received by each parcel type was determined.

To determine the assessment rates, the estimated special benefit value for each parcel type was divided by the total assessable parcel square footage and parcel type as shown in the tables below.

Parcel Type
Parcel types were categorized based on their typical amount of foot and vehicle traffic on the various parcels. Retail use parcels will receive the highest level of services because their owners aim to benefit from increased customers or increased use by visitors and receive the highest volume of foot and vehicle traffic. However, office use parcels will receive a reduced level of services because their owners primarily aim to benefit from increased cleanliness and security and receive a lower level of foot and vehicle traffic.

The approximate cost of special benefit services by parcel type was determined. Then, the special benefit cost of services by type was divided by the square footage of those parcels to determine the assessment rates.

Parcel Size
The SMPPBID’s services will benefit each assessed parcel as a whole. The service budget which, in this Engineer’s estimation, represents special benefits to the parcels, has been allocated based on parcel size.

Parcel Type Initial Parcel
Size Budget
Parcel Square
Footage
Initial Parcel
Assessment Rate
($/sqft/yr)
Retail $841,460.83 ÷ 12,020,869 = $0.07
Other Commercial $41,177.12 ÷ 915,047 = $0.045

Summary of Assessment Rates
Therefore, for the initial year of renewal, the maximum annual assessment rates to parcels are as shown below and in Appendix 6. If you would like more information about parcel assessments, please call Civitas at (916) 437-4300 or (800) 999-7781.

Page 25 ends

Parcel Categorization
Assessment categories for each parcel were determined based on the parcel’s land use code as shown in the Assessor’s Records and supplemented by other available information. In general, the assessment category for each parcel reflects the use of the parcel as described by its land use code. In cases where the land use code and actual use differ, the actual use prevails for classification purposes.

2. Retail Use Parcels
Retail use parcels will receive and most benefit from all SMPPBID services, which are aimed to attract and increase customers and visitors to assessed parcels. These parcels have a commercial component because their owners aim to benefit from increased customers or increased use by visitors. Additionally, these parcels require the greatest level of services, due to the volume of foot and vehicle traffic.

3. Other Commercial Use Parcels
Other commercial use parcels will benefit from SMPPBID services aimed to attract customers and retain tenants to assessed parcels. Due to the nature of office use parcels, they do not receive as much foot traffic, which primarily consist of tenants or empl oyees within the parcel or those patrons seeking a specific service. These parcels will benefit by being safer and maintained, thus attracting customers, new tenants, and retaining existing tenants, but will not benefit to the same degree as retail parcels.

4. Publicly Owned Parcels
The California Constitution, in Article XIII D, provides that “parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, [or by] the State of California…shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” No such demonstration is made with respect to any parcel within the SMPPBID.

Therefore, publicly owned parcels will be assessed at the full retail rate.

5. Non-Assessed Parcels
There are 494 parcels within the SMPPBID that will not be assessed. These parcels will not specially benefit from or directly receive the SMPPBID’s improvements, maintenance, and activities. These parcels are accounted for in the analysis of general benefi t provided to non- assessed parcels within the SMPPBID.
• Residential Parcels: There are 493 residential parcels within the SMPPBID boundary that will not be assessed.

The state legislature has determined that “properties zoned solely for residential use...are conclusively presumed not to benefit from the improvements and services funded through these assessments, and shall not be subject to any assessment.”. 1 The activities, maintenance, and
improvements to be provided are designed to specially benefit retail, and other commercial use by attracting and increasing customers and visitors to assessed parcels and by improving the maintenance and safety of the assessed parcels. None of these benefits apply to residential parcels, which will not be serviced or benefit from the SMPPBID’s improvements, maintenance, and activities. Residential parcels are those parcels with four (4) family units or less, duplexes, residential condominiums, and planned unit development of single-family residences.

• Utility Parcels: There is one (1) utility parcel within the SMPPBID that will not be assessed. A utility parcel refers to any parcel exclusively utilized for utilities and is not intended for office use or customer interaction, which includes substations. Since these utility parcels lack a retail or commercial component involving direct customer access and are fenced off to prevent public entry, they will not benefit from SMPPBID services and will not be assessed.

6. Changes in Data
Every effort has been made to ensure each parcel included in the SMPPBID is clearly identified and that all parcels included in the SMPPBID are consistent in the boundary map and the assessment calculation table. However, errors in data can and may arise or data may change after formation of the SMPPBID.

Inconsistencies may include updated parcel sizes or parcel splits. If inconsistencies arise, the order of precedence shall be: 1) the assessment calculation table and 2) the boundary map. Based on the assessment calculation table, a parcel owner could calculate if the appropriate assessment amount was charged. Additionally, using the boundary map, a parcel owner could determine if its APN was correctly identified.

If the parcel size or type of a parcel changes during the term of the SMPPBID, the assessment calculation may be modified accordingly.

C. Assessment Notice
During the hearing process, an Assessment Ballot will be sent to owners of each parcel in the SMPPBID.

The Assessment Ballot provides an estimated assessment. The final individual assessment for any particular parcel may change, up or down, if the parcel square footage or type differ from those used to calculate the amount shown on the notice, which can be found in Appendix 5.

D. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
As provided by State Law, the SMPPBID assessment will appear as a separate line item on annual property tax bills prepared by the County of Sacramento. Property tax bills are generally distributed in the fall, and payment is expected by lump sum or install ment. The City of Citrus Heights shall distribute funds collected to SMP. Existing laws for enforcement and appeal of property taxes, including penalties and interest, apply to the SMPPBID assessments.

PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994

CHAPTER 1. General Provisions

ARTICLE 1. Declarations

36600. Citation of part

This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.”

36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businesses in a business district are not taxes for the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property.

(2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed. Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits. The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits. (3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessments they may levy and the proper determination of special benefits. Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.

36602. Purpose of part

The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act.

This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes.

36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments

Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)).

36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions

Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.

36604. Severability

This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

(b) The name of the proposed district.
(c) A description of the boundaries of the district, including the boundaries of benefit zones, proposed for establishment or extension in a manner sufficient to identify the affected property and businesses included, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The boundaries of a proposed property assessment district shall not overlap with the boundaries of another existing property assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundari es of a district created pursuant to this part to overlap with other assessment districts established pursuant to other provisions of law, including, but not limited to, the
ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 77
March 14, 2024
SMPBID Management District Plan

Page 34 ends

Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (Part 6 (commencing with Section 36500)). This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with another business assessment district created pursuant to this part. This part does not prohibit the boundaries of a business assessment district created pursuant to this part to overlap with a property assessment district created pursuant to this part.
(d) The improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation of the district and the estimated cost thereof. If the improvements, maintenance, and activities proposed for each year of operation are the same, a description of the first year’s proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision.
(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be issued to finance improvements.
(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments.
(h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years.

Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. (i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. (j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. (k)
(1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. (2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property - based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel.
(3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit.

(l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district plan.

36623.

Procedure to levy assessment

(a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. (b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be mailed to the owners of the businesses proposed to be assessed. A protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. The city council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the city as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representat ive. A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest.

If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners.

36624. Changes to proposed assessments

At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627.

36625. Resolution of formation

(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:
(1) A brief description of the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, the amount of the proposed assessment, a statement as to whether the assessment will be levied on property, businesses, or both within the district, a statement on whether bonds will be issued, and a description of the exterior boundaries of the proposed district, which may be made by reference to any plan or map that is on file with the clerk. The descriptions and statements need not be detailed and shall be sufficient if they enable an owner to generally identify the nature and extent of the improvements, maintenance, and activities and the location and extent of the proposed district. (2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention.

(6) A statement that the improvements, maintenance, and activities to be conferred on businesses and properties in the district will be funded by the levy of the assessments. The revenue from the levy of assessments within a district shall not be used to provide improvements, maintenance, or activities outside the district or for any purpose other than the purposes specified in the resolution of intention, as modified by the city council at the hearing concerning establishment of the district.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district. (7) A finding that the property or businesses within the area of the property and business improvement district will be benefited by the improvements, maintenance, and activities funded by the proposed assessments, and, for a property-based district, that property within the district will receive a special benefit.
(8) In a property-based district, the total amount of all special benefits to be conferred on the properties within the property-based district.
(b) The adoption of the resolution of formation and, if required, recordation of the notice and map pursuant to Section 36627 shall constitute the levy of an assessment in each of the fiscal years referred to in the management district plan.

36627. Notice and assessment diagram

Following adoption of the resolution establishing district assessments on properties pursuant to Section 36625, the clerk shall record a notice and an assessment diagram pursuant to Section 3114. No other provision of Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 3100) applies to an assessment district created pursuant to this part.

36628. Establishment of separate benefit zones within district; Categories of businesses

The city council may establish one or more separate benefit zones within the district based upon the degree of benefit derived from the improvements or activities to be provided within the benefit zone and may impose a different assessment within each benefit zone. If the assessment is to be levied on businesses, the city council may also define categories of businesses based upon the degree of benefit that each will derive from the improvements or activities to be provided within the district and may impose a different assessment or rate of assessment on each category of business, or on each category of business within each zone.

36628.5. Assessments on businesses or property owners

The city council may levy assessments on businesses or on property owners, or a combination of the two, pursuant to this part. The city council shall structure the assessments in whatever manner it determines corresponds with the distribution of benefits from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities, provided that any property- based assessment conforms with the requirements set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (k) of Section 36622.

36629. Provisions and procedures applicable to benefit zones and business categories

All provisions of this part applicable to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of a property and business improvement district apply to the establishment, modification, or disestablishment of benefit zones or categories of business.

CHAPTER 3.5. Financing

(a)The city council may, by resolution, determine and declare that bonds shall be issued to finance the estimated cost of some or all of the proposed improvements described in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, if the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to that section provides for the issuance of bonds, under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500)) or in conjunction with Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (Article 4 (commencing with Section 6584) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code). Either act, as the case may be, shall govern the proceedings relating to the issuance of bonds, although proceedings under the Bond Act of 1915 may be modified by the city council as necessary to accommodate assessments levied upon business pursuant to this part. (b) The resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall generally describe the proposed improvements specified in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, set forth the estimated cost of those improvements, specify the number of annual installments and the fiscal years during which they are to be collected. The amount of debt service to retire the bonds shall not exceed the amount of revenue estimated to be raised from assessments over 30 years.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, assessments levied to pay the principal and interest on any bond issued pursuant to this section shall not be reduced or terminated if doing so would interfere with the timely retirement of the debt.

CHAPTER 4. Governance

If the renewed district includes additional parcels or businesses not included in the prior district, the remaining revenues shall be spent to benefit only the parcels or businesses in the prior district. If the renewed district does not include parcels or businesses included in the prior district, the remaining revenues attributable to these parcels shall be refunded to the owners of these parcels or businesses. (c) Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years, or, if the district is authorized to issue bonds, until the maximum maturity of those bonds. There is no requirement that the boundaries, assessments, improvements, or activities of a renewed district be the same as the original or prior district.

CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment

36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure

(a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances:
(1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment.
(2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district. The city council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment.

The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement district. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the district, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention.

36671. Refund of remaining revenues upon disestablishment or expiration without renewal of district; Calculation of refund; Use of outstanding revenue collected after disestablishment of district

(a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.

BJECT: Cannabis Dispensary Outreach Update and Council Direction Summary and Recommendation
At
the December 14, 2023, City Council meeting, two members of the Council requested that staff bring options forward to consider modification of existing regulations related to cannabis dispensaries for the Council’s consideration within 60 days.

At
the February 8, 2024, City Council Meeting, the Council directed staff to conduct community outreach related to cannabis ordinance modifications and report the findings from the outreach to the City Council. The intent of this report is to share the findings from the community outreach and seek direction from the City Council.

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

Go
als: - Diversify for a vibrant economy
- Maintain and enhance fiscal stability
The
City Council discussed this topic as part of the March 28 Strategic Retreat and included the following objective and is pending adoption of the one-year strategic objectives at tonight’s Council Meeting:

De
velop and present a cannabis regulatory program for the City Council’s consideration and include revenue approaches to fund critical City needs.

Fiscal Impact

Costs of preparing necessary regulatory documents as directed by the City Council, will be absorbed by the existing budgets for Community Development, Police, Economic Development, Administrative Services, and the City Manager’s Office.

Costs associated with the processes to evaluate and/or approve new cannabis businesses would be subject to a fee schedule that ensures full cost recovery for staff activity.

The scope of any future cannabis regulations directed by Council is unknown at this time. As a result, there is not enough information to provide accurate estimates of the revenue potential of the proposed business types. If directed to move forward, additional information will be provided to the Council as the scope of any future regulatory framework is developed.

Background and Analysis

The February 8, 2024 Cannabis Study Session
reviewed state and local regulations related to cannabis and presented options for the City Council to provide direction and next steps. At the meeting the Council directed staff to conduct community engagement related to potential cannabis ordinance modifications and report the findings from the outreach to the City Council. The intent of this report is to share the findings from the community outreach and seek direction from the City Council.

Since February, the following outreach activities were utilized to collect and measure community sentiment:
• Implemented a multichannel outreach plan to promote the workshop and opportunities for feedback to ensure awareness and inclusion (article in newspaper, social media, header banner on City’s homepage, email to neighborhoods, flyers, etc). • Issued a Flashvote survey requesting feedback on allowing retail cannabis in Citrus Heights and collected statistically valid community sentiment data. • Created and continue to maintain a project webpage to provide public outreach information including workshop information, outreach plan, and background information along with a feedback form to ensure equitable and inclusive community feedback access. • Hosted a Community Workshop on April 3
rd to allow the public to share their point of view and engage in informal discussion regarding cannabis retail operations.

Summary of Flashvote Findings

Flashvote is a polling tool utilized by the City on a regular basis that captures scientific data to understand community sentiment towards a variety of topics. Statistical validity is achieved in part because Flashvote users must register in advance and provide a verified Citrus Heights residential address for access. The City’s Flashvote currently has 740 subscribers, and 342 residents responded to this survey. According to Flashvote, the data derived from the survey represents a statistically valid measure of community sentiment within a +/- 5% margin of error.

Two survey results links are provided below along with the survey questions summary takeaways provided by Flashvote. The first link presents the results of the Flashvote survey. The second link presents the results of the Flashvote survey using Question 1 (In general, do you support legalize cannabis for adult use?) Using Question 1 as a filter allows subsequent answers to be segmented by support versus nonsupport. This analysis tactic was recommended by Flashvote to identify trends in both categories where, if aligned, would indicate community consensus.

• Flashvote results on Cannabis

• Flashvote results on Cannabis using question 1 as a filter for questions 2 through 4: denoted as “filter” survey in takeaways below)

Following are the survey questions that were sent along with analysis takeaways of the above linked survey versions provided by Flashvote experts:

Q1. In general, do you support legalized cannabis for adult use • 59% Yes vs 32% No

Q2. Please rate how much you would support having retail cannabis stores in Citrus Heights? • 49% Support vs. 48% Opposed (this is tabulated by adding Strongly Support and Somewhat support, and adding Somewhat Oppose and Strongly Oppose)

Q3. If retail cannabis stores were allowed, where would be the best places to locate them in Citrus Heights? (choose all that apply)
• 41% of those surveyed supported retail cannabis stores in any non-residential zone • 32% of those surveyed supported retail cannabis stores in only commercial centers directly adjacent to I-80
• 42% of non-supporters identified the best place to locate cannabis stores is in commercial centers near the freeway (filter)
• 16% of non-supporters identified any non-residential zone but not near schools or parks (filter)

Q4. Should retail cannabis stores move forward, city staff may recommend that a maximum of two licenses be made available. What restrictions would you support if any? (choose all that apply)
• Almost 2-to-1 preference on 2 or less permits vs. three or more permits •36% of non-supporters would support 2 permits or less (filter) • 2.5-to-1 ratio in favor of collecting a tax

In addition to survey questions, the Flashvote survey also provided fields for responders to leave comments. Staff encourages review of the comment responses in Question 3 and Question 4.

After this overview, attendees were given the opportunity to speak their thoughts with the group. Following oral comments, attendees were asked to identify their aptitude to allow cannabis dispensaries within the City of Citrus Heights using stickers on poster boards. Options ranged from 1 (Not interested) to 5 (very interested) and Not Sure. Attendees were then asked to provide any written comments that they would like to share about the potential change in regulations and submit a feedback card for direct inclusion in this report. Attachment 1 is a tabulation of comments received at the workshop.

Summary of Online Feedback Form

On March 2
nd, City Staff updated the Cannabis Ordinance Updates website with a link to an online form to solicit feedback related to the consideration of retail cannabis businesses in Citrus Heights. This form was created to ensure easy and inclusive access to feedback channels for all residents.

• This was an interesting, one sided presentation. All speakers were cannabis operators who obviously want this to pass. To base a decision on this issue based upon tonight's "presentation" this should be placed on the ballot for community vote. Your blue dot vote is not representative of our city- it's a poster for the industry people present. • How could this possibly make our city a better place to live? Other than bringing $$ in for the city's use what good is this? This idea of inviting the business of cannabis into our city is the worst possible way to make money for the city. It's an invitation for more problems in our city.
• I understand the tax beneﬁts of this however, I feel it will degrade out retail spaces and adversely affect other business. These areas are already somewhat blighted, I agree with the comments re: reserving some of the revenue for education. • Please maintain the current ordinance. I-80 at Antelope and at Auburn are visible gateways to our city. If our goal is to beautify our city, the presence of pot stores is counterproductive. The anticipated tax revenue cannot buy back the negative image cannabis marketing will bring. The area of I-80 an Antelope is already impacted by campers, RVs, a gambling hall, and high traffic. There is already access via delivery, and other business areas. If approved, limit sign size, prohibit use of words "City if Citrus Heights" in business names
• If the issues is no controversial, do we as a city need to make a decision now • My personal experience is a negative reaction to cannabis • This event was no a workshop. It was uncontrolled comment. I was hoping for a presentation and responses. The "Blue Dots" serve no purpose . All of the people in the "industry" out the dots in strongly support box. How many are residents? Why would you ask for opinion of non-residents?
• Consider: Deliveries within the city will continue and may increase. Black market is believed to be 2-3 marijuana sales a dispensary or 2-4 in CH will not change that and may increase think of the adults buying beer for high school kids. Any guarantee the revenue will meet or exceed projections? How about a vote of all citizens of CH? • There are no such shops in Folsom, Rocklin, Roseville and Rancho Cordova. Multiple studies prove crime increased around such businesses. Our police department already stretched, closest such stores are not 25 minutes away, use Google Maps, the medicinal beneﬁts are very questionable Google it. Across the country cities see the negative impact on marijuana use additive, cardiovascular, impacts many negative health effects. These kinds of businesses do not add to our community vision. • For years the city have been opposed to cannabis. Why all of a sudden was it needed to be brought up again. How many people attending the meeting are residents of the city.

How many people are from the industry?
• Let the citizens decide cannabis is available outside the city. • I believe there won't be enough law enforcement with Sunrise Market development delay, there has to be a better tax revenue option.

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 100
• For residents there is delivery, there is no need for a dispensary Google how close they really are.
• We are already known as the Heights, let's improve our image, not down grade it. Ask local businesses if they would want one next to their business. • There is no beneﬁt to the community for having a retail cannabis operation(s) within Citrus Heights other than generating tax revenue from sales made. The city needs to focus on its current problems before adding new ones, i.e.; homeless, violence, theft, law enforcement response, the need for substance abuse programs. • Like tobacco and alcohol, marijuana is part of our society and probably will continue to be in the future But like tobacco and alcohol, marijuana is not without its set of problems both in society an individually. My primary concern with marijuana is the well- documented impact on the brain development of teens and young adults. There is also some evidence emerging that the stronger strains now marketed have a potential for a level of addition in the user. Regarding opening a dispensary in Citrus Heights: Some of you know my role in the battle to become a city. We wanted to make thing better. I don't believe a dispensary will make thing better. The problems I see are several: 1. Conﬂicts between local and federal regulations. 2. Lack of banking services- federal banks do not do business with dispensaries. The cash generated creates difficulties. 3. Beneﬁts to our community are marginal at best. I believe that income generated from a dispensary operation will be more than offset by increased law enforcement. I don't for a moment believe that the income will ﬁx our potholes. 4. Like bug tobacco, may of the dispensaries are owned and operated by large corporate entities who have no record of contributing to the communities in which they operate. By and large, the dispensaries are not "mom and pop" operations because of the capital investment involved. Just look at the City of Sacramento. Most dispensaries are owned by large corporation.

Sacramento County has seven incorporated cities. Two of they allow dispensaries- Isleton and the city of Sacramento. There is only one dispensary in Placer County in Colfax. If we open a dispensary here, we will be drawing from a large radius, and I doubt those people will be shopping in Citrus Heights for other items. I believe that would put additional load on our Police Department. I urge you to table this matte, and leave it there.

• Limit to two locations. You need two locations to serve the population. • I believe opening retail cannabis stores in Citrus Heights is a great opportunity for the city and residents.
• Fair Oaks
• I have been in the dispensary industry for over 10 years the crime scene no different than any area in Sacramento. Amazing jobs can come from it, as well as tax revenue opportunities.

• My name is India Haynes and I am the general manager of a cannabis retail storefront in the Sacramento area. I fully understand the concern associated with bringing cannabis into the city but strongly believe that providing access to the medicinal consumers is important.
• It will be regulated- the product, the business location. • Need education about uses and beneﬁts
• Local control maybe on advantage with good resolutions • I am here to represent my grandmother, an 83 year old Citrus Heights resident. Having a location near her would allow her to access her medicine easier. I currently support her obtaining products for pain management and it is approved by her Kaiser provider in lieu of other pain prescriptions. Additionally a UC Davis study found counties with more retail access had reduced rates of opioid ordinances. Another study conducted by CA educators found that from 1990-2007 suicide rates declined in states where medical legislation was approved compared to non-legal states.
• Cannabis is already accessible, with cannabis shops, cannabis will be regulated, tested and will lower crime on the streets of cannabis sales.
• I whole heartedly support cannabis as it isn't about the stigma most people may think it is. Cannabis is a medical thing as well and has been what has helped me with my medical condition, to be able to sustain a decent lifestyle free from chronic pain and inﬂammation.
• I have worked at a cultivation/dispensary and distribution. I have not seen an increase I crime at any of these sites due to the heavy regulations set in place. I have provided cannabis as medicine to my grandma and mother in law who have found medical beneﬁts to cannabis. Cannabis is in this city and will continue to be. Regulating cannabis will provide access while being a safe option to street sales. • It's time for a change. Been a resident my entire life, I don't want to keep going so far for my medication. This will help the city and the community. Statistics show crime does not increase the way many claim.
• Cannabis saves lives. The access to it needed all over the city. • I strongly feel like a lot of education for cannabis is 100% needed. There is so much mis- education of this medical plant. It isn't the "gateway drug" . Research has shown decrease in crime in areas.

Not Sure
• I have so many questions. How will you ensure that all taxes are paid? Is cannabis sales all cash? How can sales be tracked? Will there be audits? What is the cost to our city to perform the audits? How much money does CH estimate to collect per year? Will crime increase? What kind? Will there be cost of more policing? How will licenses be awarded? What % of CH budget will be from cannabis- projected? I want to know about the projected costs and benefits. How will you ensure that licenses not all end up in the fand of a few business owners (wasn't that a problem in Sacramento)?

• It will make no difference what we want you are going to approve of this for the money. I have lived here 80 years and the ﬁrst Council did not approve it and I am sad the new counsel will! Carol L. Alexander
• Please do not open cannabis shops in Citrus Heights. We have too many vape stores, smoke shops, liquor stores, pawn shops, cash advance shops as it is driving our property values down and increasing undesirable actors to the area. Look at Auburn Blvd, Antelope, Greenback and Auburn for a preview of what these retail stores bring to our community. The cannabis stores downtown already deliver to our area and they can keep their downtown problems. Any revenue created from taxing cannabis sales will not cover the cost for increased police and clean up projects. I strongly urge you to not allow these stores in Citrus Heights.
• I dont think smoking marijuana should be encouraged and allowing sale of cannibis in CH would encourage its use due to easier access. My grandchildren had to come inside from playing in their backyard because the neighbor was in his backyard smoking it and the smoke was coming directly into my grandchildrens yard. Its legal to smoke it on private property, so there was no recourse other than to bring them inside and shut the windows. I think selling it in C H would likely increase the number of times neighbors are impacted by neighbors smoking marijuana. The strength of cannibis today is so much greater than before, that you have to be concerned about smoke that comes into your yard or house uninvited, particularly when you have kids. • "Please don't move forward with this.Its going to hurt the integrity of our City. The ban was put in place for several reasons. I encourage the council to think about all the unintended consequences that will come as a result of allowing cannabis dispensaries in our community. We have a current council who voted down a very good housing project by a well respects national builder that would have brought a highly desired housing option for folks who desire a certain lifestyle along with tax dollars & more support for local businesses. It seems to be we have a council who wants to grab tax dollars from a industry that dulls minds, creates crime & will discourage & deter people & families with integrity from moving to Citrus Heights & will encourage folks who currently live here who have integrity to leave, including myself. I bought in Citrus Heights in 1998 soon after the incorporation with the hopes of being part of the solution to some of the problems that have plagued this community for years & up to this point I've been encouraged & happy with the positive progress, if the council moves forward with this it will be the beginning of another set of problems for our police department our mental health providers.
• Citrus Heights already has a terrible homeless population and drug use is rampant. The city is spending $1B to ﬁx a dilapidated Sunrise Mall which already no one want to go to because it reeks of being unsafe (unlike the malls in Rocklin which I'll take the time to travel to via I80 instead). Again due to homeless and unsavory characters roaming the area. So you think you've got problems now? They will increase dramatically if you allow more substances to be sold in the city. Strongly opposed. • There are plenty of other sources in the area for cannabis, including home delivery.

Dispensaries tend to attract people that can cause disruption and repel clients from neighboring business. Our current problems of homelessness, drug abuse, alcohol ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 104
addiction and other similar issues are already overwhelming. Let's not add to our city burden by inviting additional problems.
• The only people that want to sell cannabis in Citrus Heights are dispensaries. If someone wants to buy cannabis they can drive to Sacramento or have it delivered. • Let's keep Citrus Heights clean and not allow cannabis stores in our City. • We do not need to encourage more drug use in our community. • Too many comments, not enough time to respond. Just happened to catch this in the Sentinel online. I doubt most of the community is aware you are considering changing our community. From Just say NO campaign to let's give kid's instant access in their cities. Higher crime, thefts, accidents, police monitoring of sites. Our schools already rank below average, below 50% of CA public schools. If someone needs medicinal cannibus, there is a store in Rancho Cordova, 4.5 miles away. Most cities around us said NO. Fair Oaks is now having to ﬁne landlords and try to undue their decision to allow this. It is still a Federal crime. Banking, renting, business licenses are not usually accessible. Business only take Cash. That should work out really good. Driving home the other night, homeless by post office, community center, behind businesses, will not go to the park and green space by me once it starts to get dusk. You will bring more of the same to our community. Was in Walgreens and an alarm went off. We all froze and looked at each other, do we run, duck for cover. You should open your eyes and see what is happening in our community. If you allow this change, I want the high costs it will bring to come from your paycheck, not mine. Agree with statements, Not My City, NO, Do not do this to our Community. Find another tax revenue. People who want or need the service have plenty of options. Not here.
(2) Somewhat Opposed
• Until there is a roadside test for cannabis, I am opposed. • my common sense and bottom line concern is that the operation of a cannabis dispensary in ctirus heights will change the social and perhaps cultural dynamic of our town; we already have enuff of a problem with vagrants and homeless people who occupy our green belt open spaces. do we really want to increase this demographic in our community. and while a cannabis despensay may bring in additional income, is it really worth all of the residual side effects this sort of business will also cause or bring in? i say that with all things considered, its better for those who choose or need to smoke weed, to ﬁnd some other place to go buy it
(3) Somewhat Support
• too many people will complain, maybe in a few years more residents will accept having a dispensary. There are delivery companies already delivering cannabis products to CH.

Allowing dispensaries will reduce sales for those companies. If approved, a dispensary should be central to all of CH so that people from all corners of CH have a small commute. allowing dispensaries on the outskirts of town would not be beneﬁcial to a customer or the store. Also limit the number of dispensaries so there are fewer complaints. Require that the dispensary remain clean, clean surroundings, brightly lit parking, etc., in order for customers to remain safe.
(4) Strongly Support
• It would be a huge increase in tax revenue for Citrus Heights ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 105
• I'm forced to pay taxes to the City of Sacramento when I don't even live there, because that's where the closest dispensaries are. Please let me keep my tax dollars in Citrus Heights. People from Roseville Granite Bay, and Folsom will come to dispensaries here.

At least let delivery services operate out of Citrus Heights, it's 2024 and the voters made a decision on this almost 6 years ago.
• "From what I've read in the ﬂash vote, it seems that people are not as educated as they need to be about the laws surrounding recreational and medical marijuana in CA. There is no research that shows any type of increase in crime in areas that put legal retail dispensaries in. Dispensaries are required to follow a very long list of rules to obtain licensing to sell as well as how clients can behave while in and around a dispensary.

Most dispensaries want to be good neighbors and will do what is necessary to ensure their clients are following all state laws regarding marijuana (no smoking or edibles to be consumed on property or in parking lots or nearby parks). The city can require that the dispensary they allow make their clients sign an agreement as to how they will behave on and off the property after their purchase.
• As a medical patient of marijuana for over 20yrs and a recreational user from 16-30yrs old, I am disabled and have to travel 30minutes in each direction to get my medicine from Midtown. This is a huge stressor for me and a lot of wear and tear on my vehicle. • I believe the best type of dispensary to have in CH is a compassion or medical dispensary. They take recreational and medical. Medical offers a discount to patients that are on SSDI or vets, while the recreational helps cover the discount the medical receives (usually only about 25-30%). Also, think about a smaller business that won't have a large amount of clients coming and going.
• The Antelope corridor is absolutely the wrong area for this type of business. There is already enough crime issues in that area that we hear almost every night on Van Maren. • Allowing dispensaries in Citrus Heights would provide the city extra funds and create more jobs within the city. The lack of dispensaries in citrus heights doesn't keep cannabis use (or any other drug for that matter) out of the city. Having a safe, legal place for residents to buy cannabis makes it so people don't have to visit the local dealer who will offer more than just cannabis. Cannabis has never been a gateway, the method to which people have been forced to by it is the gateway. Legal dispensaries come with a safe and regulated environment that cuts out the risk of being sold laced cannabis or pushed to buy hard drugs. Not only would dispensaries improve funds and employment, they would also deter some of the hard drug use that has been rampant in Citrus Heights for years.
• I think retail in Citrus Heights is a great idea! Cannabis is in Citrus Heights with retail dispensaries or not via delivery companies and the black market. Retail at least the city beneﬁts.... it doesnt bring more cannabis to CH.
• It is time for Citrus Heights to reap the beneﬁt to its community services by regulating the legal cannabis marketplace, and offering a safe, clean atmosphere for residents to purchase medicinal and recreational products. The only way to displace the illegal market is by supporting the regulated market. No minors are able to purchase cannabis from a dispensary, unlike the illegal dealers currently within our schools. Maintaining the ban on commercial retail dispensaries serves no one except for them -- illegal drug ITEM 13

dealers. Let's move forward into the 21st century and learn from our peer jurisdictions in California to enact a sensible ordinance for Citrus Heights. • If Liquor stores are a part of our Community then Cannabis stores should also be allowed. We should also be able to grow our own...in areas where retail cannabis was available, opioid overdoses and use saw a decline - 2021 UC Davis study. https://www.ucdavis.edu/curiosity/news/counties-more-cannabis-dispensaries-show- reduced-opioid-deaths
• Patients deserve safe access to medicine
• I am 83 and use gummies for pain.
• I strongly support centralizing more commerce and economic activity within Citrus Heights. People are using cannabis, and will continue to do so. We should aspire to have those cannabis dollars spent locally.
• I get cannabis delivered to my home in CH but a local dispensary is even better as budtenders help novices get the right products and teach them the correct way to use it.

Then you take the product home and use it in the safety of your home. If you have never been in a dispensary, you would be surprised how upscale most operations are and you would see all types of people in the store, from young working adults to senior citizens. • I whole heartedly support bringing cannabis to the community. • A Fair Oaks resident & believe dispensary location is key but strongly believe they can safely add to our local economy.

Not Sure
• I would like to see statistics of any issues that have come up in other communities that have retail cannabis stores.

Re: Cannabis discussion
Council members:

At the outset, I find it concerning that, as is now being realized in Oregon, that there is a push to remove the stigma over the abusive use of controlled substances. As a professional, I have seen the downside of substance abuse, and legalizing possession has aggravated the problem. But as the Women's Crusade. Populist Party. Women's Christian Temperance Union founded by Annie Wittenmyer. Frances Willard. Carrie A. Nation. Anna Gordon. And Pauline Morton Sabin learned after their success in the adoption of the eighteenth amendment to the United States Constitution in 1919, and then repealed in 1933, prohibition cannot succeed. This applies to cannabis in the same way it previously applied to wine, beer and spirits.
.

Fast forward to 1970 when the use of cannabis became illegal pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act which was then followed by the Nixon administration’s announcement of the “war on drugs” in 1971 which fifty years later proved to be just as ineffectual concerning the use of cannabis as the prior prohibition on the use of alcohol. It is only now that there is a realization that the war on drugs is and was an abject failure.

Unfortunately, regardless of the fact that the sale of cannabis by a person not licensed to do so is illegal, it has not stopped, or even slowed, the sale of cannabis by drug dealers. As a resident of Citrus Heights, I ask that the City Council accept reality rather than live with a fantasy of a world for which substance use and abuse does not exist, and that the illegal sale of drugs can be stopped.

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 110
City Council
4 April 2024

Page 2 ends

For the above reasons, I ask that the City Council approve the sale of cannabis within the city for the following reasons and restrictions:

1. Regardless of the city’s decision to allow cannabis dispensaries within the city, cannabis will still be available to residents, either via dispensaries in Sacramento or drug dealers within the city. There is no protocol available to the council members or the Citrus Heights Police Department (“CHPD”) to prevent access to cannabis by residents from adjacent areas;

2. The city has an opportunity to diminish the illegal sale of cannabis within the city limits by providing legal access. Regretfully, I have personal experience concerning the violent disputes associated with illegal substance sales market share disputes. The risk of that type of violence coming to Citrus Heights is greater than crime associated with licensed cannabis dispensaries.

Legal sales of cannabis will reduce the amount of illegal cannabis being sold in the city;

3. Licensing cannabis dispensaries creates no greater risk to public safety than licensing businesses that sell package liquor as both are easy targets for individuals who wish to violate the law, and both cause certain types of individuals to congregate. One need look no farther than the Safeway located at the corner of Sylvan and Greenback to find habituated, mentally ill, and the homeless congregating. As recently as last week, I watched a couple walk out of a national chain store with a shopping cart full of two-liter liquor bottles without paying for them. Crime is the result of bad actors, not the nature of a business;

4. By licensing dispensaries, the CHPD can focus upon those individuals who are selling cannabis and other pharmaceuticals illegally.

5. Individuals who want to use cannabis will find and use it. As the use is no longer illegal, religious or cultural objections should not bear upon the city’s decision. Government must operate in a non-sectarian manner. Access to cannabis in the city is a direct extension of current law.

6. The objection that cannabis sales in the city will adversely affect the children in our community is meritless. It is a parental responsibility to assure that children do not use cannabis or any other drug illegally. Government should only intervene when parents fail in their role to properly rear a child. A child who illegally uses cannabis is the consequence of inadequate parenting, not a societal failure. As a child unfortunately can today purchase cannabis on a street corner, licensing dispensaries will have little impact on the issue of juvenile access.

7. Contrary to staff recommendation that the dispensaries should be located at locations solely with freeway access, the city should approve four ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 111
City Council
4 April 2024

Page 3 ends

locations within the city. The dispensaries should be at locations convenient to residents, not only for non-residents. The city can easily divide the city into four quadrants and in each quadrant, place a store among the numerous vacancies available for rent. The sole limitation on location should be approval by the CHPD and Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District based upon emergency access to minimize response time should it become necessary, along with a reasonable distance from public schools and parks.

8. My greatest fear involving the unlicensed sale of cannabis is reports that unlicensed individuals have sold cannabis which contain chemicals which are life threatening, i.e., herbicides, growing chemicals, or drugs such as fentanyl. The city must assure public safety when using legal drugs or alcoholic products. I cannot imagine the city removing approval of the sale of package liquor in order to ban the sale of moonshine. The metaphor is applicable.

9. Based upon the City of Sacramento statistics, calls for service to the police for dispensaries is no different than that for stores which are licensed to sell package liquor. The argument that dispensaries are a focal point for crime is disingenuous.

10. Any revenue generate by licensing fees should be directed specifically to (1) education programs within the local schools to prevent substance abuse starting in the primary grades for programs to be administered by the CHPD and (2) to supplement the CHPD’s budget to investigate and arrest individuals involved in either the direct or indirect sales of illegal substances. The revenue should not be used as part of the city’s general fund.

11. The city should create a board, similar as that established as the planning commission, that (1) assures that the dispensaries are in compliance with all directives from the city, CHPD and the Metro fire and (2) to assure and set the amount for the license fee/municipal tax upon the dispensaries to not cause the cost to sell the cannabis to exceed market rates (illegal sales price). If purchasing the cannabis from a dispensary costs more than purchasing from an illegal source, sales of legal cannabis will be reduced and vice versa. This board should have the authority to adjust the tax/licensing fees to assure that the legal sales price as confirmed by the CHPD is at least the same, if not lower, than that of illegal sales.

As an individual, I oppose the excessive use of cannabis, drugs or liquor is a public safety hazard. So are the sales of fireworks for individual use on the 4 th
of July and the personal possession of firearms. Yet, this city council does not act to ban either of the latter. Statistically, more people are injured by the use of fireworks and firearms than at cannabis dispensary locations. I am not enough of a hypocrite say that the city can ban the former but allow the latter.

ITEM 13
Agenda Packet Page 112
City Council
4 April 2024

Page 4 ends

I view the licensing of cannabis dispensaries as a public safety measure, not a revenue source. The city by licensing individuals who are not involved in illegal activities to sell cannabis reduces the income to criminals while at the same time providing a funding source for juvenile anti-substance abuse education and CHPD efforts to curb illegal drug use and sales in the city.

Reducing both revenue and access to illegal drug dealers is a significant benefit to the city.

For these reasons, I ask that the city approve an ordinance which allows the licensing of four dispensaries within the city at locations within four quadrants to be determined by city staff pursuant to the above comments.

Yours truly,
David Warren

This is just a recap of what this report said but bottom line they highlighted a mother whose son at 17 after smoking marijuana lost contact with reality and she felt smoking weed led her son to have psychosis bouts which led to schizophrenia. Then he started other drugs to silence voices he heard which led to an overdose and death at age 22.

The study found the potency of THC in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s was 2-3%. THC potency is now 10 times higher at 20%. Daily use of high potency THC at 15% resulted in 5x the amount of psychosis.
47% with cannabis dose psychosis went on to suffer with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. They urged young people to avoid marijuana.

I hope this report will show why we do not want this type of business opening anywhere in Citrus Heights. Thank you for letting me weigh in on this decision. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend the meeting or send my thoughts earlier due to circumstances that came up which made me unable to attend.

Thank you

Project Description

As the Executive Director of Citrus Heights Arts, I am applying for the funding to attend the Neighborhood USA 2024 conference. This initiative aims to foster significant community engagement, enhance neighborhood aesthetics, and improve the quality of life by integrating innovative arts and cultural projects within Citrus Heights. Attending this conference will equip our members with cutting-edge strategies for community development, networking opportunities with like-minded organizations, and the ability to attract and implement national-level arts projects in our local neighborhoods.

Public Benefit

My attendance at Neighborhood USA 2024 will directly benefit the Citrus Heights community by:

1. Enhancing Community Engagement: Insights and strategies gained from the conference will be used to design arts programs that promote community participation, awareness, and engagement. These programs will encourage residents to take an active role in neighborhood beautification and cultural activities, fostering a sense of pride and ownership.

2. improving Neighborhood Aesthetics and Quality of Life: Implementing national-level arts and cultural projects will significantly enhance the visual and cultural landscape of Citrus Heights. Public art installations, community arts events, and cultural festivals will not only beautify the neighborhood but also improve the overall quality of life for residents by providing enriching experiences and fostering community pride.

3. Building Partnerships and Networking: By connecting with other neighborhood associations and arts organizations, we can bring fresh ideas and collaborative projects to Citrus Heights. These partnerships will enhance the scope and impact of our arts initiatives, leading to more comprehensive and inclusive community development efforts.

ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page 120

4. Educational and Skill Development: The knowledge and skills acquired by our board members will be shared with the community through workshops, meetings, and collaborative projects. This will empower our residents with the tools and knowledge to actively contribute to neighborhood improvement initiatives.

The project aligns with the Neighborhood Improvement Partnership's goals by promoting safety, enhancing aesthetics, creating community connections, and building neighborhood association awareness and engagement. It ensures that the benefits are public and community- focused, with the support and involvement of Citrus Heights residents in arts and cultural activities.

Prior Funding:

I do not believe this individual resident received prior city funding, but SOAR did apply last year on my behalf and so that may count.

Prior Results:

My neighborhood association, SOAR, was at the receiving end of this grant last year and I was very fortunate, that they chose me to represent them at NUSA. I returned with excitement and fresh ideas. I quickly shared with REACH the Good Neighbor Program and earned their support. I spoke before council and earned their support (see photo on City NIP Grant page). This program was successfully implemented and over 700 acts of neighboring were documented during Good Neighbor Week and an annual citywide yard sale day began. Furthermore, it is my understanding that the community workshop in partnership with the Hopeful Neighborhood Project came to be in part due to the City support shown through the proclamation of Good Neighbor Week.

Project Costs:

Other Stuff to Know:

I am dedicated to my community and wear many hats: I am a board member of SOAR, REACH, and the Antelope Lions Club, all who serve Citrus Heights throughout the year. I know that as a previous attendee and seasoned community leader, I can offer support to our new participants and help foster result driven dialogue.

OM: Amy Van, City Clerk
SU
BJECT: Ordinance Amending Citrus Heights Municipal Code Section 2-32 Regarding City Council Compensation
Summary and Recommendation
Gove
rnment Code Section 36516(a), which was adopted by the State of California in 1984, set defined salary limits for city councilmembers in general law cities depending on the size of a city’s population. On January 9, 1997, the Citrus Heights City Council enacted Section 2-32 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code which set the City Council’s compensation at $600.00 per month pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 36516. The compensation for Citrus Heights City Council has not been adjusted since 1997 despite a significant increase in the cost of living.

St
aff recommends the City Council consider increasing City Council compensation to reflect the fact that compensation has not been adjusted since 1997 while the costs of living have increased considerably. The demands of a city councilmember go beyond preparation and attendance of the City Council meetings but also include regional boards and commissions, subcommittee assignments and regular meetings with constituents which put significant demands on a serving members time. Finally, increased compensation may expand the opportunity for those that wish to serve their community as a council member but cannot afford to reduce the number of hours they work under the current compensation.

Shoul
d the Council wish to move forward with this action, the City Council may introduce for a first reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2024-___ An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Amending Citrus Heights Municipal Code Section 2-32 Regarding City Council Compensation.

Fiscal Impact
Ci
ty Council compensation would be increased under this Ordinance from $600.00 to $1,900 per month. This increase represents an additional $1,300 per councilmember per month, totaling an ITEM 14
