PRESENTATIONS
4. Proclamation of the City of Citrus Heights Proclaiming July 2024 as “Parks and Recreation Month”
Vice Mayor Karpinski-Costa read and presented the proclamation to Sunrise Recreation and Park District staff.
5. Presentation by the Citrus Heights Police Department for National Night Out on August 6, 2024 Chief of Police Executive Assistant Lofas announced the annual community event, National Night Out (NNO), to be held August 6.
IMPACT Sergeant Shoberg stated the event gives the Police Department and City the opportunity to answer community questions in various neighborhoods. He said the easiest way to register for NNO is visit citrusheightspd.net and complete the online form.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Linda Maxson spoke on safety of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail. She said we now see people using the path as an opportunity for crime and graffiti. She believes the Police Department should have a plan for routine patrol of the pathway, for example, officers on bike or foot.
David Shelton asked “what is Citrus Heights’ practice on illegal fireworks?” He stated there were illegal fireworks on his street and behind the houses on the street and expressed concerns with the possibility of a fire spreading to his home.
Melissa Hayden spoke on behalf of Karen Beerman, who volunteered at the Police Department over the Fourth of July to assist with loose and lost dogs. Beerman was pleased with the number of Animal Services Officers on duty during the holiday, she thinks more communication between the City and the public would have been beneficial as she felt the public was greatly unaware that Animal Control was on duty until midnight and that they had temporary holding facilities at the police station. Beerman noticed a lack of communication internally between Animal Control dispatchers and the police officers. Beerman ITEM 4 Agenda Packet Page 5

appreciated the time and energy that it took to undertake the pilot program and the only thing she would change is mass communication internally and with the residents who took in many lost pets over the weekend but just didn’t know there was a place to take them. Hayden then spoke on her own behalfand stated their volunteer group assisted with 29 lost and found dogs on the Fourth of July. On July 3 she called into dispatch to report a loose dog and the dispatcher said they did not have Animal Control on duty. She said in the meantime she was able to contact an Animal Control Officer and explained the situation to Police Services Manager Tiffany Campbell. She said everything went great and they had three amazing RTOs..
David Warren said on the Fourth of July as he drove drown Crosswords Parkway there were people throwing M80s onto the land across from the apartments adjacent to the creek in the park land which is dry grass. He said he asked them to stop and they laughed at him. He said we need to establish a reserve police officer corps to be available for such events to expand the number of people out on patrol.
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Holli Dae, “Disregard for homeless rights is inhumane. Homeless people are human. They may not look like you, but they are not animals.
They cry and feel sad like everybody else! To take the few things they have is cruel. I hope Citrus Heights can set an example in treating fellow humans with some dignity and respect.!” City Clerk Van read the following written public comment submitted by Serena Ostrowski, “I am writing this statement on behalf of our homeless community in Citrus Heights. I am asking for a safe place for them to sleep. It is dangerous to have homeless women hiding in secluded areas because they are afraid of getting tickets they are not able to pay for. It's even unsafe for males. These people are someone's daughter, son, sister, brother, father, mother, aunty, or uncle. Please practice compassion when making decisions affecting these individuals.”

He explained the acquisition provides a strategic opportunity as staff reviews options related to the Council’s strategic objective to look at the feasibility of increased local sheltering and reunification of lost pets.
He noted that the costs for animal sheltering is increasing and the City is seeing over 100% increase in the contract for sheltering services. The acquisition price would be $1,200,000 with an escrow period envisioned to be 130 days from a purchase agreement execution.

SUBJECT: Auburn Boulevard Phase 2 Temporary Sign Enforcement Resolution Summary and Recommendation
On May 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to George Reed, Inc. for the Construction of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets – Phase 2 project. This project is the City’s largest public works project since Phase 1 (Sylvan Corners to Rusch Park) was completed in 2014.
Phase 2, between Rusch Park and Orlando Drive, is slated to begin construction in the coming months, and construction is anticipated to last 18 to 24 months. Businesses along Auburn Boulevard will be affected by ongoing construction during this period. Temporary signage will be an important tool for businesses during this construction period. As a result, staff recommends the following resolution:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Temporarily Ceasing Enforcement of Temporary Sign Regulations During the Construction of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Project- Phase 2.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Goals:

ITEM 5 Agenda Packet Page 16
Subject: Temporary Sign Enforcement Resolution – Auburn Boulevard Phase 2 Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact for this item.
Background and Analysis
The City’s Zoning Ordinance regulates signage to ensure that permanent and temporary signs meet safety standards and maintain the aesthetic appearance of the City, while providing businesses an advertising venue. Temporary signage is permitted for a limited period, generally for special events and similar occasional promotions.
On May 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to George Reed, Inc. for the Construction of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets – Phase 2 project. This project is the City’s largest public works project since Phase 1 (Sylvan Corners to Rusch Park) was completed in 2014.
Phase 2, between Rusch Park and Orlando Drive, is slated to begin construction in the coming months, and construction is anticipated to last 18 to 24 months. Businesses along Auburn Boulevard will be affected by ongoing construction during this period. Temporary signage will be an important tool for businesses during this construction period. Temporary signage will allow for enhanced visibility during the construction period.
The City’s Code Enforcement Unit is responsible for the enforcement of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, including sign regulations. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance limits the timeframe for temporary signage to a maximum of 30 days. Given the long-term nature of the proposed construction of Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets – Phase 2, staff believes increased timeframes for temporary signage is warranted.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which limits enforcement of Temporary Signage during the construction of the Phase 2 project. The resolution will maintain the City’s ability to enforce standards for signage that would otherwise impact health and safety; however, general enforcement for temporary signage would no longer take place. At the end of the construction period, the temporary signage requirements would revert to the standards in place as part of the Zoning Ordinance.

TEMPORARY SIGN REGULATIONS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE AUBURN BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT- PHASE 2
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, on May 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to George Reed, Inc. for the construction of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets (ABSC) – Phase 2 project between Rusch Park and Orlando Drive;
WHEREAS, Phase 2 of the ABSC project will include significant roadwork that could temporarily reduce access and visibility to over 100 businesses along the Auburn Boulevard Corridor; WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance includes standards for Temporary Signage which limits the use of temporary signage to a maximum of 30 days in a row; WHEREAS, the City’s Code Enforcement Unit is responsible for the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance, and recognizes the need for additional visibility for Auburn Boulevard Businesses during the Construction of ABSC-Phase 2 throughout the 18–24-month term of construction; WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to ensure businesses within the construction zone for ABSC-Phase 2 are provided ample opportunity to advertise their businesses with tasteful temporary signage; that would otherwise not be permitted; and
WHEREAS, it is prudent for the City to establish temporary regulations, so that businesses can operate in a reasonable and safe manner during construction, and all temporary signage will be removed upon the completion of the ABSC-Phase 2 project.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED by the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights as follows:
A. A limited temporary pause of enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance related to temporary signage is desired by the City Council adjacent to the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets – Phase 2 project construction limits. The program shall be operative immediately upon execution of this resolution until terminated by the City Engineer and Police Chief or the City Council and shall generally conform to the following:
• All temporary signage should be tasteful in design and placed in a safe manner that does not impede vehicular or pedestrian safety. Temporary signs shall be limited to the extent feasible to ensure visibility during construction. Temporary signage will be required to not impede accessible pedestrian access along the sidewalk or into the business. • Nothing within this resolution shall limit the City’s ability to enforce public health and safety standards related to temporary signage or permanent signage. • This temporary pause will end upon completion of the ABCS-Phase 2 project as determined by the City Engineer, and enforcement of the City’s temporary signage standards will be enforced as outlined in the Municipal Code.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Susan K. Talwar, Administrative Services Director Alberto Preciado, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Quarterly Treasurer’s Report
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2024. This report is a standard quarterly report submitted in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section 53646(b) whereas it states the treasurer or chief fiscal officer may render a quarterly report to the chief executive officer, the internal auditor, and the legislative body of the local agency.
Included in this report is an update on American Rescue Plan Act Funds and staff’s recommendations on remaining uncommitted funds, which includes adoption of Resolution No. 2024-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Allocating American Rescue Plan Act Funds for General Government Services and Critical Projects.
Fiscal Impact
The use of American Rescue Plan Act Funds would result in a positive impact to general funds over the remainder of the program through 2026 in the amount of $2.85 million.
Background and Analysis
The market value of cash and investments for all City funds on June 30, 2024, was $68,084,169, up from $59,829,961 on March 31, 2024. The increase is largely a result of the receipt of property tax distributions from Sacramento County.
Significant deposits for the FY 2023/24 fourth quarter (April through June 2024) included:
Property Tax In-Lieu of Motor Vehicle Revenue $5,548,129 Property Tax $4,747,093

For more information regarding the City’s investments, see schedules included as Attachment 2.
The report includes all securities managed by the City and its Investment Manager (excluding bond proceeds) and provides information on the values (par, fair, and cost), term, and yield of each security. Please note that because the safe-keeping custodian and the Investment Manager may use different pricing sources to determine the market value of the securities, there can be minor differences in market values shown on the custodian’s monthly statement as compared to the Investment Manager’s monthly statement.
Fair Value of individual securities has been provided by Chandler Asset Management. The City uses US Bank as its third-party custodian for safekeeping of all investments except for the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is a money market fund administered by the State Treasurer that has many governmental agency participants and holds securities through its own administrator.
The value of fixed-income securities may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. As interest rates go up, the market value of the securities may go down, and the reverse is true; when interest rates go down, the market value of the securities may go up. The difference between the book and fair market value is considered an unrealized gain or loss. The unrealized loss for this reporting period is $75,251. It is important to note that a loss or gain is realized when an investment is redeemed or sold before its maturity date. The City’s investments are typically retained until the maturity date, at which point the City’s full investment is returned.
Nonetheless, the City may elect to sell an investment before its maturity and record a capital gain or loss to manage the portfolio’s quality, liquidity or yield in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.
Compliance
All investment transactions were executed in accordance with the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy. In accordance with California Government Code section 53646(b)(3), staff believes that the investments and budgeted revenues for the City will provide ITEM 6 Agenda Packet Page 21
Subject: Quarterly Treasurer’s Report
Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
sufficient cash flow to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of each entity for the next six months.
Pooled cash and investments book balances are adjusted annually to reflect fair value as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The term fair value was formerly known as market value and became effective with the mandatory implementation of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 31 in fiscal year 1998. The attached investment schedules meet these requirements.
American Rescue Plan Act Summary
Included in the City’s investment portfolio are the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
The City received an ARPA allocation of $15.7 million, of which Council approved the use of $14 million. The actual use of the approved amount is projected to be $12.8 million. As of June 30, 2024, an uncommitted amount of $2.85 million remains that will need to be obligated and reported to the US Treasury by December 2024. Funds need to be expended by December 31, 2026. Staff is recommending allocating the remaining funds towards general government services and critical projects, in accordance with the US Treasury guidelines, including but not limited to the following:
• necessary improvements to infrastructure such as sidewalks, pedestrian safety features like crosswalks, streetlights, neighborhood cleanup, and other projects to revitalize public spaces;
• replace and update technology tools to effectively develop, execute, and evaluate government programs;
• general government services such as rehire public safety to pre-pandemic levels.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 14, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize City Manager to Execute a Purchase Agreement for the Acquisition of a Portion of 6498 Sylvan Rd., APN 243-0031-023-0000 Summary and Recommendation
The purpose of this item is to seek authorization for the City Manager to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Bayside Covenant Church of Citrus Heights (commonly known as Heights Church) to purchase a portion of land located at 6498 Sylvan Rd.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions with Bayside Covenant Church of Citrus Heights for the Acquisition of a Portion of APN 243-0031-023-0000.
Fiscal Impact
The City has negotiated a purchase price of $2.16 per square foot. During the escrow period the City will initiate a lot line adjustment consisting of 76,590± square feet; the final square footage as determined by the lot line adjustment shall in no event exceed 80,000 square feet. The estimated purchase price is $165,434 (76,590 sq ft) with a not to exceed purchase price of $172,800 (80,000 sq ft). Staff anticipates related ancillary costs associated with due diligence efforts, engineering and surveying for the lot line adjustment and transactional closing costs. The City intends to utilize General Funds for the purchase of the Property.
Background and Analysis
The City was approached by Heights Church, the owner of 6498 Sylvan Road, APN 243-0031- 023-0000 (“Property”), regarding the prospect of selling a portion of the Property to the City.
The Property consists of a vacant parcel of land to be created through a lot line adjustment consisting of 76,590± square feet. The Property is currently unoccupied and San Juan Creek crosses through the Property in an east-west orientation. Additionally, the Property abuts two City owned parcels (approximately 2.2 acres in area) to the west that were gifted to the City by ITEM 7 Agenda Packet Page 36

Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
Mr. Robert Coronado. The proximity of this Property to the City owned parcels provides a strategic acquisition opportunity that would increase the size and potential for future community enhancements when combined with the proposed Property being considered for acquisition. The Property under consideration also includes sewer, water and electric utilities.
Agreement for Purchase
Key components of the Agreement include:
• A deposit of $25,000 within two business days of both parties signing the agreement. • A 60-day feasibility period whereby the City can review the property and conduct any necessary inspections. The City can terminate the agreement for any reason during the feasibly period and receive the return of its deposit.
• A Lot Line Adjustment to the Property consisting of 76,590± square fee will be required as a condition of closing escrow.
• Close of escrow to occur once the Lot Line Adjustment is ready to record with an outside date of close to be November 27, 2024.
Environmental Review
The City has reviewed the acquisition and analyzed it based upon the provisions in Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (State CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the Common Sense Exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review. Based on staff’s review, there is no possibility that the proposed property acquisition will result in a physical change in the environment because the parcel acquisition does not propose any changes to the existing use.

SUBJECT: 5425 Sunrise Boulevard
Request for Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PLN-24-11) Summary and Recommendation
A Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) offers the City Council the ability to approve or deny alcohol license applications when a census tract area is considered “overconcentrated” by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). A new grocery store is proposing to locate at 5425 Sunrise Blvd., within a census tract (81.38) that ABC has determined can only allow two off-sale establishments without being considered over-concentrated. As shown in Attachment 1A, nine off-sale locations are currently within census tract 81.38 (a mixture of supermarkets, liquor stores, drug/variety stores).
A new grocery store is proposed within the Sunrise Village Shopping Center (5425 Sunrise Boulevard). The location will offer a wide assortment of national brands and high-quality produce, meat, and seafood as well as offer a range of prepared foods made fresh in store every day. The store is requesting an alcohol license (Type 21-off-sale beer/wine/spirits and Type 86 instructional tasting of beer/wine/spirits).
Their proposal includes selling alcoholic beverages alongside their regular grocery items.
Instructional tastings will be conducted in a designated alcohol sampling area, exclusively for customers aged 21 and above. These tastings will be led by grocery employees or certified supplier partners who are certified in accordance with ABC’s Responsible Beverage Service training program.
Although the census tract has nine off-sale locations as shown in Attachment 1A, most locations are supermarkets, or drug/variety stores where a variety of other products are sold in addition to alcohol. The proposed project has been reviewed by the Police Department with no identifiable concerns (Attachment 3). The Sunrise MarkePlace (SMP) Board of Directors has submitted a letter of support (Attachment 4) emphasizing the benefits to the existing shopping center. SMP ITEM 8 Agenda Packet Page 41
Subject: 5425 Sunrise Boulevard- Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Date: August 14, 2024

asserts that approving the PCN will enhance consumer convenience and establish equitable opportunities for the grocer in relation to nearby grocery options. Staff recommends the City Council find the PCN will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the community and approve the PCN.
Staff recommends the following motion:
Move to approve the Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow the issuance of a Type 21 and Type 86 alcohol license for the sale of beer/wine/spirits and instructional tastings at the proposed grocery store located at 5425 Sunrise Boulevard.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective:
Goal: Diversify for a vibrant economy
Fiscal Impact
The proposed grocery store is anticipated to generate approximately $3,500 in quarterly sales tax revenue.
Background and Analysis
Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN)
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) requires an applicant to obtain a letter of “public convenience and necessity” (PCN) from the affected jurisdiction (the City of Citrus Heights) because the area is deemed “over concentrated” by ABC standards. Over concentration is based on the number of existing licenses within each census tract with a maximum number assigned per tract.
The applicant is required to obtain a “letter of public convenience” from the City Council because the number of alcohol licenses in the area exceeds ABC’s standards (one per 2,000 capita). As part of their request, the applicant is required to demonstrate the alcohol license request would serve the public’s convenience and necessity.
Chapter 6 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regulates the issuance of “letters of public convenience”. The Chapter outlines a process by which a variety of departments and agencies review applications for “letters of public convenience”. Department review is related to current and past concerns at the location, including criminal activity, building code violations, business license renewal, zoning approval, health violations, zoning enforcement, and complaints to the ABC.
ITEM 8 Agenda Packet Page 42
Subject: 5425 Sunrise Boulevard- Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
Each department reviews the application and can recommend denial of the application based on problems with the site. The City Council is not obligated to approve the license request even if the business has not violated any department’s provisions. While Chapter 6 contains standards for reviewing departments to recommend denial of an application of this type, it does not contain any standards for approving such applications and determining that the “public convenience and necessity” standard is met. There are no criteria for spacing of these uses or other limitations found within the Code. The Council has the full discretion to approve or deny the “Letter of Public Convenience” request.
Project Description
A new grocery store is proposed to open within the Sunrise Village Shopping Center at 5425 Sunrise Boulevard. This location will offer a wide assortment of national brands and high-quality produce, meat, and seafood as well as offer a range of prepared foods made fresh in store every day. The new grocery store will be open daily between the hours of 8 am to 10 pm.
The grocery store is requesting a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity to allow for offsale beer/wine/spirits (Type 21) and instructional tasting of beer/wine/spirits (Type 86). Tastings will be offered in small sample sizes in accordance with ABC regulations to customers aged 21 years and older and served by certified employees and supplier partners. Alcoholic beverages will be under constant employee and video surveillance, and employees and service partners offering tastings will be certified in accordance with ABC’s Responsible Beverage Service training program. The applicant has stated that the proposed grocery store operates 21 additional locations with ABC licenses within California, where alcohol is only a small percentage of sales (approximately 8%).
Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity Analysis
Based on an analysis of the surrounding ABC licenses, staff determined there are a total of nine off-sale licenses within Census Tract 81.38. Three locations less than one mile from the vicinity are grocery stores or department store uses, and only one is a liquor store.
As required by Chapter 6 of the Municipal Code the Police Department has reviewed the request to provide off-sale beer, wine and distilled spirits. The Police Department reviewed the proposed location and does not object to the issuance of the Letter of Public Convenience for this location (Attachment 3).
As part of the City’s outreach program, staff informed the Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP) Board of Directors and the Birdcage Heights Neighborhood Area 11 of the request for a Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity. SMP has reviewed the request and provided a letter showing their support for this proposal (Attachment 4). As of August 9, 2024 no response has been received from the Neighborhood Area or any other party.

CITRUS HEIGHTS PCN Application- Statement of Justification Amazon Retail LLC D/B/A AMAZON FRESH
APN: 233-044-027
Premises Address: 5425 Sunrise Blvd., CITRUS HEIGHTS CA 95610 Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code states that if a premises is located in a census tract that has an “undue concentration” of off-sale licenses, a determination by the governing body that public convenience or necessity (“PCN”) would be served by the issuance of the new license is required.
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) has advised that the new Amazon Retail LLC premises, dba “Amazon Fresh,” located at 5425 Sunrise Blvd., Citrus Heights, is in a census tract that requires a finding of PCN.
Amazon Fresh is requesting a finding that PCN will be served by allowing it to sell alcoholic beverages in addition to its full line of grocery items. Adding beer, wine and spirits to its full line of grocery items will allow this Amazon Fresh store to better serve its customers, who want to be able to purchase alcoholic beverages when they shop for other items. While other stores in the area sell alcoholic beverages, customers find it inconvenient to make a second stop just to purchase alcoholic beverages. Although alcohol sales will only be a small percentage of the store’s business (approximately 8%), having the ability to sell alcoholic beverages will allow Amazon Fresh to meet the needs of its customers and provide them with the convenience of one-stop shopping.
Customers enjoy shopping at Amazon Fresh because of the selection and convenience. Amazon Fresh’s competitive prices and integrated technology make it a unique shopping experience, different from more traditional grocery stores in the vicinity. Amazon integrates technology into various stages, leading to a more personalized and convenient shopping experience.
Amazon Fresh has 21 stores throughout California that are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. Amazon Fresh prides itself on being a responsible licensee and is committed to serving the community in a positive and responsible manner. Amazon strives to be a good neighbor, and the Citrus Heights store will be no different.
For these reasons, we are requesting a determination that PCN will be served by allowing Amazon Fresh to obtain an alcoholic beverage license to sell beer, wine and spirits in addition to the full line of grocery products it will offer.

Hours of operations will be daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Customers shopping at, or choosing to pick-up from, Amazon Fresh will find a wide assortment of national brands and highquality produce, meat, and seafood.

FROM: Wesley Herman, Lieutenant
Citrus Heights Police Department – Special Services Division SUBJECT: Amazon Fresh – 5425 Sunrise Blvd: Letter of Public Convenience & Necessity The Citrus Heights Police Department has reviewed the proposed Letter of Public Convenience and Necessity for the proposed Amazon Fresh to be located at 5425 Sunrise Blvd. in Citrus Heights. The review process included an external inspection of the proposed location, a review of surrounding businesses with alcohol licenses, a CPTED evaluation, and an analysis of calls for service in the area.
The proposed location is within an existing retail center and issatisfactory regarding environmental design and lighting. Several other tenants within the center operate as compatible users, including restaurants, retail stores, a fitness facility, and a Starbucks. The store has yet to be opened for business. However, it will be well-lit, with bright lights near the entrances and exits. The parking lot will have lighting in numerous and strategic areas to ensure security during nighttime hours. The interior of the store will be brightly lit and well visible. Shrubbery and vegetation will be trimmed and maintained to ensure natural surveillance of the property.
We will ask that the security plan for the grocer mirrors that of the other users in the city with similar operations and will be consistent with the general security plans and practices of similar operators.
An analysis was conducted of calls for service at 5425 Sunrise Blvd during the past year. There appeared to be no noticeable trends nor any above-average number of calls for service at the location, and as compared to other similar businesses in Citrus Heights.
The Citrus Heights Police Department recommends approval of the proposed request for Amazon Fresh to obtain a Type 21 and Type 86 ABC license for this location.

RE: Future Grocer at 5425 Sunrise Blvd.
To: Mayor Bret Daniels and City Councilmembers,
As you are aware, Merlone Geier Partners has spent millions of dollars renovating an aging shopping center in Sunrise MarketPlace (SMP) bringing exciting new tenants to the area such as Club Studio Fitness. The center will also be home to a future grocer. The grocer tenant has applied for an application for a Letter of Public Convenience & Necessity (PCN) for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-premise consumption (Type 21) and instructional tasting (Type 86).
On behalf of the SMP Board of Directors, we highly encourage you to approve this application.
Please consider these benefits during your deliberations:
• Competition: To be successful, and add another choice for shoppers, the grocer tenant must be able to have equity with all other grocery options in the MarketPlace (all of which currently sell alcohol.)
• Convenience: It’s more convenient to pick up alcohol along with your regular grocery shopping, saving a trip to and saving on fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. • Expectations: Customers have come to expect a full-service offering, including alcohol at their local grocery store. This allows the tenant to meet the needs of their customers. • A Unique Offering- unlike other grocers in the area, the tenant will also provide instructional tastings adding an experiential component to the store.
Overall, the integration of alcohol sales into grocery stores enhances convenience and accessibility, making it easier for people to manage their shopping needs. We appreciate your consideration of our support for this tenant’s application for a PCN.
Warmest Regards,
Kathilynn Carpenter

Subject: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Grant Recipient Agreement between the City of Citrus Heights and TLCS, Inc dba Hope Cooperative for the Auburn Oaks Project Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
The Agreement includes the City’s gap funding contribution to the project as up to $500,000.
There are no General Fund dollars allocated to this project. The funding amount is anticipated to consist of the City’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding.
The City’s proposed primary role in the project is a financial contributor, Hope is the developer and operator of the project.
Background and Analysis
The City of Citrus Heights is dedicated to compassionately supporting unhoused and housinginsecure individuals and families while upholding our steadfast commitment to the health and safety of the entire community. Citrus Heights city staff, police, and program representatives regularly collaborate to connect unhoused and housing-insecure individuals to essential services, including housing. There is a significant shortage of housing in the vicinity that prioritizes unhoused and housing-insecure seniors who receive Social Security income.
On July 8, 2024, Hope Cooperative announced that it has been selected to receive a Community Care Expansion (CCE) Capital Expansion grant from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). This award is based on the application package Hope submitted for the Auburn Oaks Project in Citrus Heights.
The total awarded fund for this project is $24,776,946, which will include a Capitalized Operating Subsidy Reserve (COSR) award of $2,492,682. This funding will enable Hope to purchase the property, rehabilitate, and operate Auburn Oaks, providing essential Permanent Supportive Housing for seniors in our community.
Project Description
This project is a collaborative effort with Sacramento County Behavioral Health and the Department of Child, Family and Adult Services. The project will be professionally managed with onsite supervision and wrap-around services.
• The project will remain as a 55+ senior serving facility. • Household income must not exceed 50% of the Area Median Income. • Head of household must be homeless or at-risk of homelessness. • A property management firm will operate the property. Property management and/or resident services staff will be present and on duty at the property 24 hours per day 7 days a week. • Hope Cooperative will provide resident services/case management oversight on site at the property.
• 30 units from County of Sacramento Behavioral Health. • 30 units from Sacramento County Department of Family Child and Adult Services. • 28 units from the Coordinated Access System managed by Sacramento Steps Forward.

Printed on Recycled Paper
This project will expand community capacity to serve vulnerable seniors who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness. This includes seniors who have a serious mental illness or those who have Adult Protective Services involved. There is a shortage of housing capacity that gives priority to applicants and recipients of social security income specifically focused on seniors.
Hope Cooperative Funding Gap
Despite best efforts to simultaneously conduct due diligence and prepare a grant application for the project, Hope has identified a significant funding gap to complete the rehabilitation of the Auburn Oaks property. A new HVAC system and a new roof for the entire facility will be required resulting in a funding gap of $4.8 million. They are seeking additional funding from the State and Sacramento County to close the gap. In addition, Hope requested the City’s participation to close the funding gap.
Grant Recipient Agreement Requirements
The Agreement for consideration (Exhibit A) will commit the City of Citrus Heights to contributing $500,000 to the Auburn Oaks project in exchange for rehabilitation and operation of the facility as outlined in the Draft Grant Recipient Agreement. The agreement requires recordation of a subsequent Regulatory Agreement for the long term (minimum of 20 years) operation and maintenance of the facility in accordance with funding requirements and the stipulations contained in the Grant Recipient Agreement. Upon recordation of the Regulatory Agreement, the Grant Recipient Agreement will terminate.
The City anticipates funding this project using Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding. The funding plan may vary as funding sources have their own set of restrictions, reporting requirements, and expenditure deadlines; however, adequate funding and flexibility exist to fund the $500,000 contribution to the funding gap.
The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the Draft Grant Recipient Agreement with minor modifications and a future Regulatory Agreement as stipulated in the Draft Grant Recipient Agreement.

TO: Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Alexander A. Turcotte, Chief of Police
Kris Frey, Special Services Division Commander
Tiffany Campbell, Police Services Manager
SUBJECT: County of Sacramento - Animal Shelter Services Agreement
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a fiveyear agreement with the Bradshaw Animal Shelter (BAS) in Sacramento County to be effective and commence on September 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029, with the option of renewing the agreement through July 1, 2031. The agreement may be terminated without penalty by either party with or without cause upon written notice.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with the County of Sacramento for Animal Shelter Services.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objectives:
Goal: Preserve and enhance public safety.
Fiscal Impact
Council adopted a resolution on June 27, 2024, approving amendments to the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget to account for an increased cost of sheltering services in the region. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to the general fund by adopting this contract as the necessary funds are currently within budget. The City’s prorated cost for FY 2024/25 is $414,354.
There are no built-in escalators with this agreement. The second and subsequent fiscal years shared cost will be calculated based on the percentage of animal intake from the two prior fiscal ITEM 10 Agenda Packet Page 71
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
years. The terms of the agreement are further described within the background and analysis section.
Background and Analysis
In March 2024, the City received notification from the Placer County Animal Shelter (PCAS) that they would not be able to provide shelter service to our City past December of 2024, citing a significant cost increase for sheltering and overcrowding of the shelter which required them to limit service to agencies only within Placer County. PCAS agreed to a limited term contract renewal for animal shelter services to allow the City time to locate and contract with a new vendor. The limited-term contract represented a significant price increase to $34,415 per month ($412,980 annually) compared to the previous monthly cost of $18,621 ($223,452 annually).
This represents a cost increase of approximately 85% and a reduction of service as the new contract discontinued after-hour on-call field services. This had a substantial budgetary impact as well as a workload increase for our current staff related to after hours on-call services.
Staff has researched all other viable regional sheltering alternatives to include Sacramento County SPCA, Placer County SPCA, Elk Grove Animal Shelter, El Dorado County Animal Services, and the Bradshaw Animal Shelter (BAS) in Sacramento County.
Apart from BAS, no other shelters in the region have the capacity or infrastructure to offer services to the City. All regional shelters are facing maximum capacity issues and are currently searching for creative solutions to house animals, stray and owned, for the citizens they serve.
Staff worked with BAS to negotiate an agreement based on actual animal intake numbers with flexibility to allow staff to pursue alternate kenneling opportunities throughout the course of the agreement. The overall fiscal objective is to limit the number of animals entering BAS from the City by developing and utilizing alternate, locally accessible temporary kennel options for the City’s stray and abandoned animals.
The agreement terms negotiated with BAS provide the City with shelter services each year throughout the five-year agreement term on the percentage of animal intake being used from two prior fiscal years, which will provide a fixed percentage to be applied to the estimated budget expenses to determine share of cost for each year between the shared stakeholders, currently the City of Galt, and the County of Sacramento. The County will provide Citrus Heights with cost estimates by March 30th each year beginning in 2025, for subsequent fiscal year budgets under this agreement.
The proposed shelter service agreement includes the standard level of care afforded to County animals housed at the shelter, along with participation in adoption, chipping, and vaccination programs offered through the shelter. Services included are provision of food, water, shelter and veterinary care available daily, as well as access to foster programs, adoptions, low-cost vaccination clinics, and other programs and benefits available to County residents through the shelter and related programs. BAS and the Community Spay/Neuter Clinic have partnered together to create a more efficient, effective and humane community cat program for community ITEM 10 Agenda Packet Page 72
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: August 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
cats residing in Sacramento County. This program offers appointments on a first-come, firstserved, basis allowing community members to receive services for two cats per person monthly.
California animal shelters and rescue organizations, even those across the country, are experiencing an overflow crisis as the number of dogs and cats in shelters awaiting adoption and overall strays continue to increase. Shelters experiencing maximum capacity can be attributed to the number of abandoned pets, voluminous litters born due to lack of services, and the challenges faced with minimal desire for pet adoptions. This sheltering dilemma has reached new heights and has exponentially increased the workload of all animal shelters and animal services professionals and service providers alike.
Shelters have been overburdened for more than a year and a half. Each are regularly operating with kennels at over 100% capacity. The shelter situation has adversely impacted staff, animals, volunteers, advocates and communities. BAS is also experiencing shelter capacity challenges.
Over the past several months, staff have met with the BAS and the county 311 operation center to negotiate the terms of the agreement. Through multiple meetings and strategic alignment sessions, a mutually beneficial partnership has formed congruently with our City’s commitment to provide affordable and compassionate animal services to our residents focused on:
Local Pet Reunification
Responsible Pet Ownership, Licensing and Micro-Chipping Requirements Education and Community Engagement to Reduce Overpopulation (Trap, Neuter, Release)
Pet Wellness to Prevent Behavioral Problems
Preserve and Enhance Public Safety
The partnership with BAS not only aligns with our service delivery model but will also enhance City services by providing greater access to countywide animal programs, increased dedicated telephone service for citizens to report animal calls via the nationally recognized 24/7 county call center, known as 311 Connect. The agreement includes ease of access for citizens to report online, utilizing a phone application, or by telephone. The agreement also includes dispatch services for our current Animal Services Officers, use of dedicated animal service software, and animal licensing and tracking at no additional cost.
City staff worked with BAS to negotiate an agreement that will enhance City services by allowing the community to participate in many large-scale programs already being offered to the residents of Sacramento County while mitigating operational challenges, controlling agreement costs and increasing services. Specifically, the agreement will provide the following benefits:
Local Sacramento County Animal Shelter
24/7 311 Customer Service Call Center
311 Citizen Reporting Modules
On-Site Pet Hospital for sheltered animals
On-Site BAS Veterinarians;7-day a week coverage

There are many benefits associated with the proposed agreement, and a mutually beneficial partnership may help to further advance the long-term City goal of enhanced animal services delivery to residents.
The City’s current contract with Placer County expires August 31, 2024. Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the proposed Animal Shelter Service Agreement with Sacramento County. Staff will provide notice to Placer County Animal Shelter terminating the existing contract effective August 31, 2024, and the BAS contract would begin September 1, 2024.

Access and control by CITY of such animals for purposes of evidence/prosecution shall be available during the hours that COUNTY’S animal shelter is open to the public or upon advance coordination by CITY with COUNTY for access during other hours. Access to such animals by other persons (e.g., owners, public) shall be restricted in accordance with the practices of the COUNTY for animals in like situations received from within the unincorporated area of COUNTY. Upon completion of the legal holds as evidenced by a certified copy of the order of disposition of the animal and a written letter signed by CITY’s Chief of Police, or designee, confirming the circumstances leading to the order and advising that the order is final and no longer subject to appeal or further litigation, COUNTY shall carry-out the terms of the order, excluding any exercise of services in the field.

H. City Ordinances. CITY shall maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement an animal care ordinance substantially similar to the provisions found in Sacramento County Code Title 8 and other animal care ordinances and resolutions ITEM 10 Agenda Packet Page 79
which may be adopted by COUNTY’S Board of Supervisors, as such provisions relate to the services provided under this Agreement, including, but not limited to the type and amount of fees. The parties agree that the City and County animal care ordinances and resolutions in effect as of the date of this Agreement are substantially similar and do not require an amendment to comply with this provision. If the CITY approves any animal-related ordinances which substantially differ from COUNTY’S such that it requires enforcement of differing conditions or fees that may impact this Agreement, a written amendment to this Agreement may be required to include such services and provide compensation to COUNTY for such services. CITY shall be responsible for the validity of its rules, regulations, code and ordinances including but not limited to, any ordinances or codes incorporated by reference in CITY’S ordinances or code, and CITY shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify COUNTY, its officers, agents and employees with respect to any claim or action challenging the validity of any CITY ordinance or with respect to any claim or action that any action was taken under an invalid CITY ordinance. Failure of CITY to comply with this requirement to maintain substantially similar ordinances may be cause for termination of this Agreement by COUNTY.

COUNTY shall allow CITY residents to participate in COUNTY’S program for the spay-neuter of dogs and cats on the same conditions as may be required of residents in COUNTY’S unincorporated area. Both parties have committed to partnering and working together to decrease shelter intake and reduce euthanasia by holding off-site adoption events, and by giving strong emphasis to the coordinating of volunteer and rescue group efforts to increase adoptions, fostering, and rescues. CITY shall additionally partner with COUNTY to provide community programs, including but not limited to reduced cost spay/neuter, microchip, vaccination clinics, community cat resources, and other programs designed to reduce the number of animals entering COUNTY’S animal shelter.
J. Limitations / Exclusions. Limitations and/or exclusions from the provision of services hereunder are the following:
1) Non-Horse Large Dead Animal Disposal. COUNTY shall not accept for disposal from either CITY residents or CITY animal control officers, dead animals over 150 pounds (e.g., various other livestock).
4. COMPENSATION AND INVOICING

In accordance with Government Code Section 51350, CITY shall compensate COUNTY for all those costs which are incurred by COUNTY in providing the services under this Agreement to CITY. As prohibited by Section 51350, COUNTY shall not charge CITY, either as a direct or indirect charge, any portion of those costs which are attributable to services made available to all portions of the county and which are general overhead costs of operation which COUNTY would incur regardless of whether or not COUNTY were to provide services to CITY under this Agreement.
B. Per Animal Intake Basis for Compensation.
1) CITY and COUNTY recognize that determining actual cost per services is difficult and subject to various interpretations. The parties agree that ITEM 10 Agenda Packet Page 80
COUNTY compensation per CITY animal intake at the COUNTY shelter is a reasonable and objective manner to determine the impact of provision of services and actual cost for services under this Agreement. Animal intake numbers include all animals, both alive and deceased, received and encountered by COUNTY from CITY.
2) The animal shelter operating expenses of the Department shall be paid by CITY in direct proportion to the percentage of animals received from CITY’s jurisdiction to the total number of animals received at the shelter by COUNTY, in the quarterly invoicing structure described below. CITY’s annual operating expenses will be based on the animal intake percentage from the fiscal year ending two years prior to the fiscal year to be applied. Based on recent historical data from Fiscal Year 2022/23 that intake from CITY is approximately 5% of overall intake compensation from CITY to COUNTY shall initially be calculated as a 5% share of actual program costs for Fiscal Year 2022/23. COUNTY and CITY will confer based on actual animal intake pursuant to the Invoicing section below.
3) Agreed animal intake population figures, the compensation computation method, and estimates of costs are provided in Tables 1 and 2 below. The animal intake amount listed in Table 1 comes from reports of animals that were received and processed at the shelter. The percentage of animal intake being used from two prior fiscal years will provide a fixed percentage to be applied to the estimated budget expenses to determine share of cost for CITY for each year. COUNTY shall provide CITY with estimates by March 30, 2025, and March 30, 2026, March 30, 2027, and March 30, 2028, for subsequent fiscal year budgets under this Agreement. The amounts listed in Tables 1 and 2 are estimates only, based upon recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. COUNTY shall initially invoice based on recommended budget for each fiscal year; final invoice and payment shall be based on actual costs for the identified programs.

TO: Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Leslie Blomquist, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project
Award of Construction Contract
Summary and Recommendation
In an effort to further the City’s approved Three-Year Pavement Preservation Plan (PPP), and support economic reinvestment of our commercial corridors, City staff expedited plans to help address the degrading pavement conditions along a specified segment of Sunrise Boulevard; Madison Avenue to Greenback Lane, encompassing a significant portion of the Sunrise MarketPlace frontage.
On July 30, 2024, the City opened bids for the Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project (Project) and after evaluating the bids, staff determined that VSS International, Inc. (VSS) submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following resolution:
1. Resolution No. 2024-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with VSS International, Inc. for the Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project and Finding the Project is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Under Section 15301.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This item aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Objectives:
Goal: Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance All Modes of Transportation ITEM 11 Agenda Packet Page 88
Subject: Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project
Date: Augst 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
Fiscal Impact
VSS’s bid for the total Project is $1,680,325. This bid is based upon estimated quantities, which may vary due to actual field conditions. Ultimately, the Contractor is paid for actual work completed based upon the unit price bid, which may require the approval of a change order.
Change orders for amounts less than 15% of the total contract price shall require prior written approval of the City Manager. Change orders for amounts equal to or greater than 15% of the total contract price shall require prior written approval of the City Council.
This recommended action results in no fiscal impact to the approved Two-Year budget, nor the 2023/2024-2027/2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The full funding for the project is outlined in the tables below:

Background and Analysis
This Project supports the City Council and Citrus Heights community’s priorities of addressing public infrastructure, with an emphasis on pavement conditions. Sunrise Boulevard is a major corridor through Citrus Heights, supporting commuter traffic and key retail centers. The City has invested in numerous projects along the Sunrise Boulevard corridor over the years, such as ADA, pedestrian, transit enhancements, and center median marquee signage, however, full road resurfacing along the Project area has not occurred since prior to the City’s incorporation.
Because all required concrete and ADA work has been completed, the Project impacts will be far less than a typical complete streets project.
In April 2024, staff began exploring options for addressing the deteriorating pavement along the project area, recognizing concerns ahead of the next storm season. Staff worked with consultants to explore options for resurfacing - full repaving versus chip or cape seal. Given that a majority of the roadway is in good condition and can support alternatives to more costly options, the project was ultimately bid as a 3-layer asphalt rubberized cape seal. Additionally, the project ITEM 11 Agenda Packet Page 89
Subject: Sunrise Boulevard Resurfacing Project
Date: Augst 14, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
evaluated Macy Plaza Drive between Birdcage Street and Sunrise Boulevard and determined the segment would be a viable candidate for the 3-layer treatment as well, adding the street as additive alternate to the project. The project will also include addressing all existing public crosswalks by re-applying thermoplastic color treatments to increase visibility.
The complete bid results are shown in the following table:
Bidder Bid Total
VSS International, Inc. $1,680,325.00
B&M Builders, Inc. $2,056,677.10*
*Error in bid increased actual to $2,057,192.10
The engineer’s estimate for this project was $1,500,000.
Environmental Review
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The Project is Categorically Exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, as the repair, maintenance or modification of existing facilities involve no or negligible expansion of use beyond that which currently exists.
