Plus we have a FoodMaxx. We also have two vacant grocery store sites one across the street from the sunrise mall and another vacant grocery store site across the street from Safeway on greenback and San Juan. Actually it’s diagonally across or kitty corner. Plus that we ought to bring ina kitchen supply store either a chefs toys, that which I think it’s called as there is one location down on Richard Boulevard or Williams-Sonoma, as there are only two of those different locations one in Loman Plaza in Sacramento another one on Galleria Boulevard in Roseville. Remember, if sunrise mall goes, I go. Thank you.”

Carol Alexander expressed concerns that the City’s outreach did not reach all people and registered voters.

If the Council moves forward with action she requested Council consider making provisions that if things aren’t going well that the Council can get out of it.

Albert Fox spoke in opposition to retail cannabis dispensaries in Citrus Heights. He stated if you believe our city coffers are so depleted of resources that we must rely on the miniscule taxes from dispensaries to sustain our infrastructure, then instruct staff to prepare a ballot measure and allow citizens to vote their choice.

John Kane spoke in opposition to retail cannabis dispensaries in Citrus Heights.

Bill Van Duker expressed concerns over the possible locations of dispensaries and the increased traffic impacts on neighboring businesses.

Isaac Altamirano, resident and cannabis operator, stated if Council does pass retail cannabis regulations to also consider the small businesses and not just big companies. He owns a micro cannabis business, which has distribution, non-volatile manufacturing and delivery services.

Richard Bartlett spoke in opposition to moving the item forward without further consideration of crime impacts and speaking to surrounding cities who have not approved it and asking why.

Bill Shirley stated most people that attended the community workshop were either for or against with little in between and if brought to a vote, it would be a divisive campaign. He expressed concerns that more availability would lead to more use and potential addictions. He requested outreach to the Neighborhood Areas of the proposed locations and speak with business owners. He spoke in favor of having a ballot measure to let the voters decide if retail cannabis dispensaries should be allowed in the city.

Ray Riehle spoke in favor of suspending efforts to advance a Cannabis Ordinance. He said if the Council would like to pursue dispensaries, he would ask they put it to a vote of the people in a ballot initiative.

Jimmy Bobak said he agreed with comments by David Warren and spoke on the difference of a delivery from retail cannabis locations versus delivery only companies that service Citrus Heights.

Carla Lowe spoke in favor of suspending efforts to advance a Cannabis Ordinance.

Alfred Sanchez spoke in favor option three as presented by staff, which is bringing forward a Cannabis Tax Measure for Council Consideration and follow with an Ordinance if the Tax Measure is approved in November.

Benny Gardner requested Council consider competition, access, and buffer zones when drafting a cannabis Ordinance. He requested Council to consider other cannabis businesses besides retail such as non-storefront retail, cultivation, and manufacturing.

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Roberta MacGlashan, “I represented the City of Citrus Heights for 20 years. Approving retail marijuana stores is the wrong direction for Citrus Heights. The ballot measure that legalized recreational marijuana use maintained the right for cities to decide whether to allow retail sales. Only Sacramento and Isleton allow retail sales in Sacramento County.

Citrus Heights residents can easily obtain the product in Sacramento or via a delivery service. I understand ITEM 6

the attraction of additional revenue to fund City services and infrastructure, but is it worth it? Is this the new image the City wants to promote as you work to reimagine the future of Sunrise Mall and Sunrise Marketplace? Proposed taxation and establishment of marijuana businesses will require establishment of a new program and staffing to administer. It will require code enforcement, auditing, compliance monitoring and addressing social equity. Have you addressed the numbers and locations of these businesses? Will they be permitted uses (in which zones?) or require a use permit? Will there be setbacks from sensitive uses? Will they be allowed near prime locations such as Sunrise Marketplace, City Hall, the Community Center? Marijuana retailers will try to sell you on an attractive veneer that normalizes recreational drug use.

Don't be fooled. Putting Citrus Heights on the map as a destination for marijuana sales will not increase public safety or burnish the City's image, and the marginal increase in revenues will be limited by the costs of administration. This decision could forever change the character of the city we worked so hard to form.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Jeannie Bruins, “Mayor Daniels and Council Members, I’m out of town and unable to attend the meeting so I am submitting my comments in writing to be can be read into the record. Vice Mayor Karpinski-Costa told me that the council was bringing marijuana retail stores to Citrus Heights to fund road improvements, yet at the March 14 council meeting, Mayor Daniels stated that allowing marijuana stores in Citrus Heights is not about the money, that the city has ‘plenty of money’ in the budget and reserve. If it isn’t about the money, then what IS it about? Any revenue raised will do nothing other than fund additional police to handle the increased crime and homelessness attracted to this island of marijuana sales, because surrounding jurisdictions have the sense to deny the presence of marijuana retail stores. Each council member received a publication entitled The Risks of Marijuana Usage. I hope you read it. Despite the rhetoric of the marijuana purveyors, it is scientifically and medically proven that the THC level in marijuana today reaches up to 30% as compared to the marijuana of the 60s and 70s at about 3%. It is genetically modified to be highly addictive. If you change the ordinance to allow marijuana retail sales in Citrus Heights, do it with the full knowledge of the harm that you are doing to our city. Sacramento is a haven for marijuana stores. Folsom and Roseville prohibit them. Look at these cities. Which ones do you want to emulate?”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Sloan, “I am unable to attend the meeting tonight but want to voice my dismay that our City leaders are even considering putting marijuana stores in our community. I know most of you and that you have children and/or grandchildren. Is this the future you want for them? It is hard for me to believe that drugs are the answer to the worlds problems. As a mother and grandmother I am personally aware of the dangers of marijuana. It can be the stepping stone to a live of misery. Since our Mayor stated we do not need the funding. Then WHY would you even consider this option?? I see no good outcome for this action. I ask you to reconsider your recommendation to purposely trying to destroy the lives of children and families with your decision to support these stores. I don't need to state the obvious risks to the citizens of our once great communitv. Let your concious be your guide. Is this the legacy you want to leave behind???”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Donna Crawford, “I want to start by saying I am totally against cannabis dispenseries in our City. I have a brother who marijuana has totally altered his life. He started at age 12 smoking marijuana and now has schizophrenia so bad that he hears voices and is in and out of jail because of his use. As I said in an email I sent to the City Manager and the City Council last week a report recently shown on World News Tonight a study found the potency of TCH is ten times higher in todays marijuana than in the 60,s, 70,s or 80,s and daily use resulted in 5 times the amount of psychosis which was proven to go on to schizophrenia or bipolar. These statistics don’t lie. I would hope those making this decision will consider banning these dispensaries in Citrus Heights.” ITEM 6

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Amanda Carrillo, “I am in favor of retail cannabis. Please see attached documents, I've also emailed a copy to the Council.”

City Clerk Van stated there were several letters submitted after the posting of the agenda packet which were provided to the Council.

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Mark Carillo, “The Weed for Warriors Project is pro-retail storefront cannabis access for Citrus Heights. See attached.”

City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Irene Hronicek, “Mayor Daniels and Council Members. I am sorry to miss the opportunity to speak in person. Please include my comments for the record. I urge to City Council to review and maintain the original concerns and intentions of the City when the existing ordinance was put in place. The concerns still exist. And hopefully the intentions retain their importance. Much time and money has been spent by the marijuana industry to modify and increase the THC levels making the marijuana sold today more addictive and damaging. Please consider this when allowing edibles and weed to become even more available in our City. The proposal to allow marijuana sales within 2500’ of Interstate 80 would offer freeway visibility and draw nonresidents into the already congested areas at Antelope and I-80, and Auburn and I-80. Is it the intention of the City to make these areas a "destination" for financial gain? Is this the forward facing image we wish to promote? Are other cities, like Roseville and Rocklin, working to promote this image among commuters, travelers and residents? The proposed areas at Antelope and at Auburn are already targeted by the City for beautification and blight abatement. These areas already have concerns of traffic congestion, campers, panhandlers, blight from destroyed fences and property, and collected trash. The City and CHPD already expend resources to reduce these existing concerns. Is it anticipated that these concerns will reduce or increase if marijuana sales are allowed? Please consider all sides and consequences, thank you.”

Council Member Lopez-Taff stated she would opt for Option 2: suspend efforts to advance Cannabis Ordinance.

Council Member Schaefer expressed support for option 4 to delay any action and conduct further research on the issue.

Council Member Middleton expressed support to delay any action and to conduct further research on the issue.

Vice Mayor Karpinski-Costa expressed support to delay any action and to conduct further research on the issue. She also requested staff do more public outreach to gather feedback on this issue.

Mayor Daniels expressed support to delay any action and to conduct further research on the issue and to do further public outreach.

By majority consensus, the City Council directed staff to delay any action on the proposed timeline as outlined in the February 8, 2024 City Council staff report, conduct further research related to retail cannabis ordinance modifications, and conduct additional public outreach. No exact timeline or process was established by the City Council.

City Clerk Van provided an overview of the item. She explained the Governor signed Senate Bill 329 into law which amended the Government Code which allows for the first increase to the City Council pay maximums since 1984.

BJECT: Second Reading – Ordinance Amending Citrus Heights Municipal Code Section 2-32 Regarding City Council Compensation
Summary and Recommendation
On
April 11, 2024, the City Council introduced, read by title only and waived the first full reading of an Ordinance amending the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regarding City Council compensation.

St
aff recommends that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 2024-002 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 additional general fund expense of approximately $78,000 per year for salary increases for all councilmembers. If approved by Council, an adjustment of approximately $78,000 will be included in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 mid-cycle budget.

Background and Analysis
On J
une 29, 2023, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 329 (SB 329) into law amending Government Code Section 36516, which allows the first increase to the city councilmembers pay maximums since 1984. SB 329 acknowledges that the then existing compensation schedule had not kept pace with inflation and attempts to provide equitable compensation for councilmembers based on the population of their respective cities.

SB
329 allows cities to compensate councilmembers at a salary level that enables them to balance careers and personal obligations with their dedicated commitment to serve the ITEM 7

community. Effective January 1, 2024, the maximum allowable compensation rates are as follows:

City Population Salary Cap
(per month)
Up to and including 35,000 $950
Over 35,000 up to and including 50,000 $1,275
Over 50,000 up to and including 75,000 $1,600
Over 75,000 up to and including 150,000 $1,900
Over 150,000 up to and including 250,000 $2,550
Over 250,000 $3,200

According to the United States Census Bureau, the estimated population of the City of Citrus Heights as of July 1, 2022, is 86,433, placing the Citrus Heights councilmember’s salary maximum at $1,900 as of January 1, 2024. SB 329 allows an increase to the maximum amount of salary, based upon the population of the city, that may be approved by an ordinance passed by the city council, as specified. The bill allows councilmember salaries to be increased beyond the specified maximums in the future to an amount not exceeding the greater of either 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted, or an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer Price Index, which shall not exceed 10% for each calendar year. The bill requires the City Council to consider adopting an ordinance to increase councilmember compensation in open session during at least two regular meetings of the City Council.

The staff recommendation is to increase councilmember’s monthly salary to the maximum allowable amount of $1,900 per month ($22,800 per year). To do so, the Council must make certain factual findings as to why such an increase is necessary and in the public interest. This salary increase is needed to address inflation as Council’s salaries have not been adjusted since 1997, and adequately compensating councilmembers for the large number of hours spent by local elected officials in the performance of their duties is in the public interest. In addition to participating in regular meetings of the City Council, councilmembers represent the City on regional and statewide boards, commissions and organizations, participate in a wide variety of community events, and often meet with constituents on issues of concern to residents of Citrus Heights.

Government Code Section 36516.5 prohibits any change in compensation during the current Council’s term of office, but that all councilmembers may receive the same increase when any member becomes eligible. Therefore, the ordinance will become operative when a new member of the City Council is sworn into office or when a member of the City Council begins a new term.

NANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CITRUS HEIGHTS MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2-32

REGARDING CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION
WH
EREAS, Government Code Section 36516(a)(2) permits the City Council to establish by ordinance compensation to be paid to each councilmember up to a ceiling based on the city’s population;
WH
EREAS, on January 9, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance 97-11, which set the City Council’s monthly compensation at $600 per month pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 36516(a)(2) based on a population;
WH
EREAS, in June 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 329 (“SB 329”), which amends California Government Code Section 36516 to update city council compensation schedules to account for inflation. The previous compensation schedules, which are based on population, had not been adjusted since 1984;
WH
EREAS, the legislative intent of SB 329 is to help city councils become more diverse because increased compensation can help individuals from across different income levels receive sufficient income from their service to help ensure that they can continue to serve the public and support their families;
WH
EREAS, California Government Code Section 36516 provides a method by which salaries for members of a city council are established based on city population; WH
EREAS, according to the United States Census Bureau, the estimated population of the City of Citrus Heights as of July 1, 2022, is 86,433;
WH

WH
EREAS, the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights makes the following findings in support of raising City Council salaries to $1,900, as allowed by SB 329:

gher pay can help remove financial barriers that may prevent individuals from running for office. This can make council positions more accessible to a wider range of people, including those from lower-income backgrounds, promoting greater socioeconomic diversity among elected representatives.
ii. In
creasing compensation recognizes and compensates city councilmembers for their substantial workload. Serving on the city council requires significant time and effort.

Councilmembers are responsible for attending meetings, conducting research, engaging with constituents, and making important decisions that directly impact the community.

BJECT: Amendment to City Purchasing Policy – City Manager Signing Authority
Summary and Recommendation
The City’s purchasing policy is reviewed periodically for consistency with changes to local, state and federal regulations, as well as best practices and the agency’s operating needs. In an effort to improve efficiency and expedite delivery of services, it is recommended that the purchasing policy be amended to increase the City Manager’s signing authority to $100,000.

St
aff recommends City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-____, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving the City Manager’s Increased Signing Authority.

Fiscal Impact
The
re is no fiscal impact associated with this approval. Purchases made within the City Manager’s increased authority shall be consistent with all other terms of the City’s purchasing policy and within the City Council approved budget.

Background and Analysis
When
the City first incorporated, the purchasing policy established at the time allowed the City Manager to authorize contracts and purchases up to $25,000 without requiring City Council approval. Such contracts and purchases range from professional consulting services to equipment replacement purchases. In 2005, the policy was amended to allow for contracts and purchases up to $50,000, with a limited increased authority of up to $75,000 for Police Department related purchases in an effort to help facilitate the City’s Police Department transition. Since 2005, the City Manager’s signing authority has remained at the $50,000 limit, while various terms and requirements of the City’s purchasing policy have become more stringent as a result of state and federal mandates, grant awarding requirements, public contract code, and in an effort to improve and maintain transparency to the public.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 18
Subject: Amendment to City Purchasing Policy – City Manager Signing Authority Date: April 25, 2024

Page 2 of 2 ends

However, since 2005, the purchasing power has steadily decreased; labor costs have increased, both at minimum wage rates as well as professional service rates. Also, material costs have escalated , particularly in the past four years as a result of COVID and its impact on supply and demand.

Additionally, as the City’s staffing and operations remain lean, and demands for services continue to rise, it has become increasingly necessary to execute contracts for services and supplies expeditiously and remove barriers wherever possible.

A review of the purchasing policies and City Manager signing authorities for the surrounding cities of Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento all resulted in limits greater than that of Citrus Heights. Cities of Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento have City Manager limits set at $100,000; Folsom is at $ 73,209 with an annual consumer price adjustment; and Galt is at $70,000. The requested increase is consistent with cities and services provided similar to Citrus Heights. Should the City Council approve this requested action, all sections and subsections of the Purchasing Policy, including but not limited to the Purchasing Authorizations section, and Specialty Types of Purchases section, referencing the City Manager’s signing authority shall be amended accordingly to reflect the City Manager ’s increased authority of $100,000. All other provisions of the Purchasing Policy shall remain in effect.

FY 2023/2024 Community Projects Grant Applicants

The second round of funding opened to the public on February 29, 2024, and closed on March 29, 2024. An allocation of $50,000 in Community Projects Grant funding is available for round two.

In addition to the $50,000 Community Project Grant Fund balance, additional funding is available in Fiscal Year 2023/2024 from other grant programs for potential use:

• The History and Arts Grant fund balance remains at $20,000, which can be used to support funding these applications.

• An $18,000 balance the History and Arts Grant Program

Grant Application for Campfire Ways Community Project
Dear City Council Members/Grant Committee
I am writing on behalf of Campfire Ways, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our community in Citrus Heights. We are seeking support through the Community Projects Grant to undertake a transformative initiative at 6548 Campfire Way, Citrus Heights, CA 95621.

Our proposed project encompasses several vital components aimed at fostering community safety, beautification, and engagement:

1. **Fire Hazard Mitigation and Beautification:** We aim to clear the remaining 10 acres of the property from any potential fire hazards while simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood.

2. **Homeless Prevention and Neighborhood Safety:** T o ensure the safety of our community, we plan to install fencing to prevent homeless encampments on the property, thereby safeguarding the neighborhood.

3. **Environmental Cleanup:** We will undertake the removal of trash from the property and address any obstructions along Cripple Creek (approximately 2000 feet), mitigating the risk of flooding for the surrounding neighborhood.

4. **Recreational Amenities:** Our project includes the installation of a 9 or 18-hole disc golf course, providing accessible recreational opportunities for residents.

5. **Community Gardens:** We plan to install raised garden beds along Campfire Way street sidewalk, allowing residents to participate in gardening activities. This initiative will require tapping into the existing city water infrastructure on the property.

6. **Community Events:** The property will serve as a venue for various neighborhood events, including block parties, Halloween walk-through decorations, dog adoption days, and more, fostering community cohesion and enjoyment.

Our anticipated completion date for this comprehensive project is October 31st, providing tangible benefits to the Citrus Heights community. It's important to note that Campfire Ways has not received any prior funding from the City of Citrus Heights for this project, making this our inaugural request for financial assistance.

We have already made progress, with approximately 3 acres cleared out, demonstrating our commitment to realizing this vision for our community. We are excited about the potential of this project to positively impact the neighborhood and are eager to collaborate with the City Council to bring it to fruition.

ITEM 10

Thank you for considering our grant application. We look forward to the opportunity to further discuss this project and its potential benefits for the residents of Citrus Heights.

- Half of the project costs from the City of Citrus Heights - Donations and fundraising events to cover ongoing expenses and additional costs **Future Expenses:**
For ongoing programs like the raised garden beds, Campfire Ways plans to sustain future expenses through participant contributions, with monthly expenses such as water and maintenance divided equally among participants. Additionally, we plan to generate revenue by renting out sections of the park for birthday parties and family gardening activities to Citrus Heights members. Furthermore, the disc golf course will charge a small fee, the proceeds of which will contribute to landscaping maintenance, ensuring the park remains free from any fire hazards and is well-maintained for the enjoyment of all residents. These initiatives not only foster community engagement but also provide a sustainable funding source for the ongoing upkeep of the park.

This addition outlines our strategy for generating revenue through park rentals and disc golf fees, reinforcing our commitment to financial sustainability while continuing to serve the community's recreational and safety needs.
**Serving Citrus Heights Residents:**
This project directly benefits Citrus Heights residents by:

We believe that with your support, we can make a lasting positive impact on the Citrus Heights community. Thank you for considering our grant request.

Sincerely,
-Robert Rawdanowicz

Citrus Heights HART, Underground Clothing Connection, Grand Reopening Project Description:

Citrus Heights HART is excited to request funds for a Grand Reopening of the Underground Clothing Connection (UCC) at Sunrise Mall. The primary goal of this event is to reintroduce the UCC to the community and generate interest and support from local residents. By hosting this event at the store, we aim to raise awareness about the store and the significant number of vulnerable families in the community who rely on its services.

The event will serve as a platform to engage community members and encourage them to donate new socks and underwear, which are often in high demand. Additionally, we will call upon community members to volunteer their time in the future to support the UCC's ongoing operations.

Refreshments will be provided. The event will be free to attend and available for all ages.

Through this event, we seek to create exposure for the store, showcase its impact on the community, and foster a sense of unity and support among residents. By inviting community members to participate in the event, we hope to build lasting connections and partnerships that will benefit vulnerable families in Citrus Heights.

The Grand Reopening will be pivotal for the UCC, marking a new chapter of community involvement and support for those in need, leading to the project's long-term sustainability.

Project Public Benefit and Expected Outcome:

The UCC is a vital resource for vulnerable children in Citrus Heights, providing them with free, high- quality, correctly sized clothing to meet their basic needs and support their academic success. In 2022, we served 826 vulnerable individuals, in 2023 we served 2,046! By focusing on supporting vulnerable students, particularly those from low-income families, foster youth, and immigrant/refugee backgrounds, the UCC aims to improve the overall well-being and educational outcomes of these children.

The expected outcome of the UCC project is to ensure that no child in Citrus Heights goes without proper attire for school, addressing a fundamental need that directly impacts students' self-esteem, confidence, and academic performance.

Through the expansion and sustainability of the UCC, more vulnerable children in the community will benefit from these essential resources and support services, leading to improved academic outcomes, increased self-esteem, and a sense of belonging within the school environment. The project's impact will extend beyond clothing assistance, fostering a supportive community that values the well-being and success of all its members, especially those families with Children in the local school district facing economic hardships and other challenges.

Hosting a donation drive and engagement event for the UCC will have significant public benefits. By organizing a donation drive, the community can unite and support vulnerable students in need. This event will raise awareness about the importance of clothing assistance to underserved populations, particularly students facing financial hardships.

The engagement event will foster a sense of community involvement and solidarity, encouraging individuals to contribute to a meaningful cause. Through donations of clothing items, attendees will directly impact students' lives by ensuring they have access to properly sized and high-quality attire for school. This act of generosity will meet students' immediate clothing needs and promote a culture of giving and compassion within the community.

ITEM 10
Agenda Packet Page 85
Citrus Heights HART, Underground Clothing Connection, Grand Reopening Furthermore, the donation drive and engagement event will enhance the visibility and sustainability of the UCC program. By showcasing the clothing store's impact and support for students, the event will attract more donors, volunteers, and community partners. This increased engagement will lead to a broader support network for the UCC, ensuring its continued success in serving vulnerable students in Citrus Heights.

Overall, hosting a donation drive and engagement event for the clothing store at the UCC will create positive change in the community. It will not only provide essential resources to students in need but also strengthen community bonds, raise awareness about the importance of clothing assistance, and secure ongoing support for the UCC program.

Indicate the anticipated number of Citrus Heights Residents served, if applicable.

Initially, 50-75. In the long term, we expect to serve more than 3,000 vulnerable students and families in Citrus Heights due to the support of the store's programs.

Community Partnerships
Citrus Heights HART is supported by a robust network of over 500 volunteers from local faith communities, partner organizations, and corporations. Our board comprises members from Sunrise Marketplace, Starbucks Coffee, and other regional leaders. Citrus Heights HART has established strong partnerships with various community organizations and entities to support our mission of ending homelessness and providing essential resources to those in need. Our community partners include:

City Navigator: Partnering with this entity has allowed us to connect homeless individuals with essential services and resources, ensuring they receive the required support.

Local Churches: These institutions play a crucial role in our Winter Sanctuary program by providing temporary shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness during the winter months.

Neighborhood Associations: Engaging with neighborhood associations has helped us raise awareness about homelessness issues and garner community support for our programs San Juan Unified School District: Our partnership with the San Juan Unified School District is integral to our efforts in supporting vulnerable students and families in need. Through this collaboration, we provide clothing assistance and essential resources to students facing financial hardships, ensuring they have the necessary support to thrive academically and socially. Mckinney Vento student liaisons are now biweekly on-site at the UCC to provide main live service referral and case management to guest families and students.

Share any additional information
Unfortunately, in Quarter 4 of 2023, the UCC closed due to the rising cost of rent and a shortage of volunteers. However, we have since secured a reliable source of volunteer leadership by finding a full-time volunteer manager and initiated a "soft" reopening. It's important to note that the store is not just a free clothing store; it has evolved into a crucial resource and essential touchpoint for ITEM 10

Citrus Heights HART’s mission is to serve the most vulnerable in our community of Citrus Heights. So our focus is to engage the students and families in our schools, Such as Mesa Verde, Sylvan Middle School, Arlington Heights, and others. However, if we have the capacity, we do not turn away vulnerable students and families who need our resources.

The UCC requires a referral from the School District or Citrus Heights HART to access its free clothing and other services. This is so we can connect students and families to the resources they need to succeed without taking advantage of the store’s resources. The UCC acknowledges that it is one piece of the strong ecosystem here in Citrus Heights that supports our vulnerable neighbors.

Our request is 68% of the total projected budget.

This funding request will serve as an investment in the Citrus Heights community who hold a lived experience of Autism and other neurodiverse needs that aren't socially accepted in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. Granting this request will offer a day of resources mutually beneficial to residents, businesses, and Citrus HeIghts autism families. This request will also present an educational experience to many that lack knowledge in the autism related category. As we
acknowledge that autism is not specific to Citrus Heights, we believe the city presents a targeted population that has been underserved. Consequently, many individuals go undiagnosed and do not receive the early intervention needed to thrive.

This will be a free community event open to the public, welcoming families of all demographics and abilities.

Title: Project Welcome Home Troop's SKY Resilience Training for Veterans in Citrus Heights Abstract:

International Association for Human Values (IAHV)’s Project Welcome Home Troops (PWHT) seeks funding to bring its SKY Resilience Training program to veterans in Citrus Heights, to help improve the quality of life for veterans and provide relief from chronic and traumatic stress. The SKY Resilience Training program comprises scientifically researched breath-based tools and techniques that have shown efficacy in alleviating symptoms of chronic and post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Additionally, it aids in restoring overall well-being, enhancing mental focus, and fostering a rejuvenated sense of connection and purpose. The grant will allow PWHT to provide wellness sessions to 300 veterans and offer the 15-hour, 5-day SKY Resilience Training program free of charge to 50 veterans.

Introduction:
● PWHT was established in 2007. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for veterans, active military, and their families. We proudly serve military installations, Veterans Affairs Hospitals, Veteran Centers, and communities around the United States. Project Welcome Home Troops is a Program of the International Association for Human Values a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. ● The SKY Resilience Training is a mind-body resilience-building program for veterans, military members, and immediate family, and is provided at no cost, which is made possible through fundraising efforts and grants. A cornerstone of the training is the SKY . 100+ independent studies conducted on four continents and published in peer-reviewed journals have demonstrated a comprehensive range of benefits from practicing SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga and accompanying breathing techniques). SKY has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, and to increase self-reported optimism and well-being (Brown and Gerbarg, 2005; Kjellgren, Bood, Axelsson, Norlander, & Saatcioglu, 2007; Janakiramaiah, 2000). One study suggested that SKY may be effective for PTSD in particular. Patients with PTSD stemming from the 2004 T sunami benefited equally from SKY alone as from a combination of SKY and exposure therapy when compared with a wait-list control (Descilo et al., 2009). SKY has even been shown to positively impact rapid gene expression alterations (Qu et al., 2013).

Program Description:
● The program will integrate gentle chair-based yoga, guided breathwork, meditation, emotional intelligence, self-reflection, and group processes to build mental and emotional resilience among veterans and foster social connections.
● Upon completion of the SKY Resilience Training program, the participants will be able to:
○ Reflect on the tendencies of the mind and recognize how managing the mind can help minimize stress.
○ Relate to the science of breath and breathing techniques as tangible tools to increase energy, improve sleep, reduce depression and anxiety, regulate moods, and help manage physical pain. ○ Identify and optimize the sources of energy to maximize personal well-being. ○ Demonstrate, perform, and practice Yoga postures, Breathing techniques, and the unique process of "Sudarshan Kriya TM"
○ Develop practical tools and social skills through reflective, interactive processes. ○ Incorporate the course’s knowledge into daily life to create regular self-care practices for life-long benefits.

Community Impact:
● According to the 2023 US Census Bureau, approximately 5,255 veterans reside in Citrus Heights. The grant will aid in removing financial barriers to accessing wellness programs, creating awareness, and ITEM 10
Agenda Packet Page 95
providing support to veterans struggling with PTSD. This collaboration will also enhance community support services and allow 300 veterans to take advantage of this research-backed program.

Program Budget & Implementation:
● The grant will enable PWHT to offer wellness sessions to 300 veterans and provide 15-hour, 5-day SKY Resilience Training program to approximately 50 veterans. ○ We will offer six 1-hour wellness sessions, limited to 50 participants per session (total 300 participants), including chair yoga, relaxation, and simple breathwork. ○ After three wellness workshops, we will offer the SKY Resilience Training over 15 hours for a maximum of 25 participants. The 5-consecutive day multi-modal mind-body resilience program employs breath work, yoga, guided meditation, daily self-reflection questions, and small group processes that foster connection and peer support and will be offered over 8-10 months. ● The Citrus Heights Vet Center will also support the endeavor by providing the venue to host the Wellness sessions as well as the SKY Resilience Training. They will also help promote the sessions via their e-blast, posting flyers at their center, and social media posts. ● Our organization has not received any grant money from the city of Citrus Heights in the past. The investment into your community will elevate the involvement and overall lives of your veterans.

Tentative Schedule (Additional dates and schedule will be set after the completion. ) Date (2024) Time Event
May 16, June 20, July 18 12.30-2:00pm Wellness Session
Aug 8th-12th 12.30-3.30pm SKY Resilience Training
Evaluation Plan:

Pre- and post-program surveys will be conducted during the SKY Resilience Training program and assessments will gauge changes in PTSD symptoms, mental focus, sleep quality, and overall satisfaction.

Conclusion Summary:

Project Welcome Home Troop extends heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with The City of Citrus Heights and the Citrus Heights Community Projects Grant. T ogether, we aim to empower veterans through SKY Resilience Training, addressing the prevalent mental health challenges among this demographic.

With this grant's support and our community's collaboration, we endeavor to provide evidence-based techniques and foster vital community support, ultimately enhancing the well-being and quality of life for veterans in Citrus Heights. This collaboration marks a significant step towards aiding in their successful reintegration into civilian life, and we are honored to be part of this important endeavor.

Project Budget Narrative
Project: Empowering Youth to Shape their Futures
Total Project Cost: $19,200
Total Request to City of Citrus Heights: $8,200
Total Amount to be Paid by JA Resources: $11,000
Junior Achievement (JA) proposes to bring its economic empowerment programs to 600 youth within the City of Citrus Heights boundaries at a total cost of $19,200, based on our cost structure of $32 per student. This per-student cost is remarkably efficient due to our innovative program delivery model, which leverages volunteers from the local business community to lead JA lessons in the classroom. Our unique delivery model not only keeps costs down but also provides invaluable benefits to both students and the community. By incorporating business volunteers, we ensure that students receive real-world experience and insights, making the curriculum more engaging and relevant. Additionally, students have the opportunity to network with professionals, opening doors to potential internships and mentorships within the community. Moreover, the involvement of the business community underscores their support for the educational development of our young residents.

While the overall cost of the program is reasonable, it's essential to recognize the significant staff hours required for promotion, planning, volunteer recruitment and training, curriculum customization, ongoing support to educators and volunteers, registration tracking, gathering feedback and data, and program evaluation. To address these operational needs, this proposal includes JA covering the direct program staffing costs. We respectfully request that the City of Citrus Heights Community Project Grant be allocated to cover the program's hard costs, which include:
• JA USA Program and Support Fees for 600 students @ $12/student = $7,200 (Includes curriculum, learning management system, licensing fees, digital access to classroom materials and volunteer and teacher guides, student access to a plethora of online resources and apps, insurance, and support)
• Promotions - $500
• Student giveaways - $500
The total grant request for the City of Citrus Heights Community Projects Grant amounts to $8,200. JA will provide the necessary resources to cover the remaining $11,000 balance of staff hours, ensuring the successful execution and impact of the program. We have a long history of soliciting funding from businesses, foundations, and government agencies. We anticipate using financial resources from some of our partnerships that support the JA mission. A sampling of some of the sources we received program funding for this year include State Street, U.S. Bank, Del E. Webb Foundation, Tegna (KXTV Channel 10), Franklin Templeton, First Tech Federal Credit Union, Sacramento County, Bank of America, and ECMC Group.

Collaboration with Citrus Heights Institutions: Partner with local Citrus Heights institutions, such as schools, youth organizations, and community centers, to identify and recruit participants from within the Citrus Heights community. These part nerships can help ensure that the organization’s services reach those who reside in Citrus Heights.

• Share any additional information that the City Council should consider in evaluating your project, including your organization's background and experience delivering the proposed project/program or event
Sunrise Christian Food Ministry has been serving the Citrus Heights community for the last 41 years. We provide fresh, healthy food to families facing food insecurity. We are committed to not only helping individuals in need but also to rescuing and redistributing organic and nonperishable food from our local restaurants and retailers that historically have thrown excess food into the trash. In 2023 our food agency rescued over 1 million pounds of food and delivered it to hungry tummies all around the Sacramento County region. We have seen a decrease in the number of Citrus Heights families receiving services at our daily food distribution. Further research identified that many residents in our community do not have the ability or resources to travel to the food closet for help. In 2023, to help connect more Citrus Heights families to food, we began a monthly distribution to neighborhoods and communities where we identified high- need and limited access to food. Our first two distribution sites, Vintage Oaks and Sayonara Center, have been extremely successful. For 2024 we are excited to expand to Sunrise Point and area schools that have expressed a need including Kingswood Elementary, Sylvan Middle School, and Mesa Verde High School. With the purchase of a trailer, we will be able to provide food access to more residents in need. We would also be able to participate in local events to deliver information about our food closet, one of the largest in Sacramento County, directly to the community. We anticipate expanding our produce distribution to additional senior communities and low-income neighborhoods. Our partnership with Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services allows us to not only bring food into the community but education centered on nutrition as well.

The Healing Palete
Amie Nowell
20 March 2024
Community Projects Grant Applica�on
Brief:

To paint a mural on the wall on the corner of Fair Oaks Blvd and Watchel Way, measuring 41 feet long by 2 feet high, which depicts the Cripple Creek that ﬂows under the road. The pain�ng will depict the beau�ful wildlife that calls this creek home, including ducks, deer, and raccoons.

Process:

Step 1) Cleaning the wall. This requires a pressure washer, as the wall’s previous paint is cracking and covered in dirt from years past. (about 3 hours of work) Step 2) Priming the wall. One to two coats of rolled wall paint. Will require up to 5 gallons of paint. (about 5 hours of work)
Step 3) Pain�ng the background. Spray paint and wall paint to create doted water and sky eﬀects. (about 8 hours of work)
Step 4) Pain�ng the nature se�ng details. Some spray paint, but primarily brush pain�ng with wall and acrylic paint. (about 12 hours work)

This wall is on the entry area between Fair Oaks and Citrus Heights, right next to a ‘Welcome to Citrus Heights’ sign and a ‘Beau�fy Citrus Heights’ sign. Crea�ng a las�ng piece of art that directly reﬂects this amazing place will welcome people to our city with pride and excitement for our natural world. This project will directly aﬀect the people in the neighborhood, and more broadly aﬀect anyone that drives in this area forever. A neighbor around the wall to be painted, Greg Pickard, is suppor�ng me on behalf of the area, and has spoken with the city about the desire for a mural on the wall.

Total Time: About 46 Hours. Could be completed over the span of 1 month to 6 weeks.

Upon funding, project shall obtain 5-10 hours of progress per week, depending on weather, �me alloted, and life circumstances of the ar�st.

Background:

Growing up at the back of Cripple Creek behind Mesa Verde High School, I ﬁnd this speciﬁc request to have been made speciﬁcally for me. I walked that creek every day for most of my childhood. The creatures that I will include in the piece are some that I have seen myself in Cripple Creek. As a homegrown resident of Citrus Heights and an ar�st educated in our local school district, I am ﬁlled with pride at the opportunity to leave my mark on this amazing city. While this would be the ﬁrst city project that I par�cipate in, ‘Beau�fy Citrus Heights’ is a project that I have been excited to be a part of, and I hope that this mural will be something the en�re city will look at and feel at home.

At 28 years old, I just earned my Associate’s for Transfer from Sierra College in Studio Arts with a focus on Pain�ng. I have been selling my art in galleries, coﬀee/ tatoo shops, markets/ fairs, and online for 10 years. I have created 5 private commission murals and one community project with Wide Open Walls in Downtown Sacramento. In the fall, I will be moving to Honolulu to ﬁnish my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts, then spreading my passion for beau�fying the world wherever the wind takes me, but I will always call Citrus Heights home.

Project Plan & Description
Community Connections Project-Wellness Outcomes
Maternal Wellness
Maternal Wellness is requesting a grant. The city has not provided funding in prior years.

Maternal Wellness will be conducting the project. Maternal Wellness is a community-based organization supporting mothers, children, and families by providing health education and navigating them in the correct direction for many different needs. We support mothers during the early stages of motherhood with doula support, breastfeeding support/educational classes, and hands on support during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the newborn to toddler stage. We also support teens providing a safe space for open communication, teen pregnancy prevention, contraception resources, workshops, counseling, and guidance for the youth. We thrive to make these interactions engaging, fun and educational for the youth.

Maternal Wellness is requesting a grant for our Wellness Outcomes Project. This project is a community connections project. We look forward to partnering with you in what we believe will be an important step in our mission to creating a space that is pleasant for families within our community. This project will be targeting three different groups in the community and will be activity-based engagement groups that meet on a regular basis.

Teen Outcomes Group:

The teen’s outcome group is designed to support teens with a safe space for educational resources. We support teens in many challenges that they can face. These regular meetings will allow teens to make friendships, participate in activities and provide guidance in decision making.

Mommy and Me Support Group:

Our mommy and me group will be a safe place that is a nonjudgmental environment for mothers to make meaningful connections with one another. Local peer connections are often found to be more useful and resourceful for the many different challenges that come with motherhood. The group will have different discussion topics such as infant safety, feeding cues, sleep training, postpartum depression and returning to work.

Family Support (Parent Day):

This project is aimed towards mother and fathers within the community and celebrating them.

Families and children’s come together within the community to participate in fun activity stations.

Resource stations, arts/crafts for children, photography station for families to take photos together, beverages/ snacks, and educational games.

The main objective of the project is to create a safe space for families within the community to rely on that's fun, engaging, and resourceful. This project will take place over the course of six- twelve months. We plan to achieve this with promotion and marketing gaining as much participation from local members within the community. The initial start of this project will be a summer project with hopes of keeping it around to be a long-term project. We would like to see measurable progress 30-45 days after the start of the project. We are specifically monitoring this project for key success indicators to keep things running smoothly.

The results of this project are to bring something rewarding to the Citrus Heights Area for families and parents. The Citrus Heights community can benefit from this engagement as families have been impacted by social distance in the prior years and have not been able to make meaningful connections within the community. Our hope to provide educational information in a rewarding environment for the Citrus Heights community.

Community Connections Project-Wellness Outcomes
Maternal Wellness
The initial project structure and plan have already been completed. The project needs funding to complete the community connections project to make the project a success.

Maternal Wellness already has a great connection with families within the community and plans to outreach to all families that we have been in connection with in the past, along with making new connections within the community to expand this project. We plan to make a lot of noise within the Citrus Heights community to target all families who could benefit from engagement with this program.

To measure success of the project we will offer surveys allowing families to express how they felt the project ran and what we could have done better. Attendance will be tracked electronically and in person to document the event outcome and outreach success.

Maintenance plan will be followed by the Founder and Management staff of Maternal Wellness.

The project will be started and will be an ongoing project over several months.

Maternal Wellness plans to continue to grow the project and plan to use the funding of this project to jump start a long-lasting project within the community.

PROJECT BUDGET:

Total Amount Requesting: $25,000

Program Expenses/Events: 15,000
Marketing/Promotion/PR/Staffing/Staffing Supplies: 2,500 Resources/Printing/Materials/Supplies/Activities/Equipment/Stations: $7,500 The cost was determined based on research and price matching of all cost associated with the start of the project.

Maternal Wellness does not have any other funding sources involved in this project. Maternal Wellness will fund the remaining cost of the project as the total overall cost will be $32,000.

PROGRAM NEED:

Maternal Wellness conducted a survey of support from our clientele of families that we survey on a regular basis. Throughout the survey we found that many families lack social interactions due to the previous social distance. Families are excited to make connections, meet new friends and gain educational insight at the same time. During our survey process we got an 89% response rate of families interested in support for new moms/first time parent families and teens. Through those interactions we have created this project in hopes to make a difference and give families the education support they need through networking and connection building.

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

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

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

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

Staff has evaluated the possibility of moving City Council meetings back to the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month to provide City Council and staff greater opportunity to participate in meetings and events that fall on the second and fourth Thursday. Moving the day to Wednesdays would also provide staff more time to perform work related to Council approved items as well as time to adequately respond to items requested by Council Members.

Furthermore, it would likely result in greater attendance opportunities for members of the public as Wednesday tends to be a less demanding evening than Thursday relative to activities.

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

Jurisdiction Metro Cable Broadcast Schedule
Citrus Heights City Council Live coverage 2nd & 4th Thursday, 6 PM Elk Grove City Council Taped coverage 2nd & 4th Wednesday, 6 PM Folsom City Council Taped coverage 2nd & 4th Tuesday, 6:30 PM Galt City Council Taped coverage 1st & 3rd Tuesday, 6 PM Rancho Cordova City Council Taped coverage 1st & 3rd Monday, 5:30 PM Sacramento City Council Live coverage 1st & 4th Tuesday, 5 PM; 2nd Tuesday, 2 PM

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

Planning Commission Regular Meeting Schedule
Planning Commission meetings are currently held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 6:00 p.m. If Council meetings were to move to the second and fourth Wednesdays, staff recommends moving the Planning Commission meetings to the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 6:00 p.m. Staff surveyed Planning Commissioners in regard to moving their meetings to the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month and Commissioners responded they did not have any concerns or conflicts with moving their meetings to the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month.

Communications Plan
If adopted, staff proposes making the change to the regular meeting days effective beginning with the first meeting in July 2024. Staff would engage in a robust communications effort to notify the public through various communication channels including announcements at City Council meetings, a News Flash on our website, article in the City’s electronic newsletter, social media posts, signage at City Hall, and advertisements on Metro Cable Channel 14.
