areas of historical significance within Citrus Heights. She stated Andy Saunders collaborated with Regina Cave and she helped bring this creation to life.
Melissa Hayden spoke on Trap Neuter and Release (TNR) of stray cats. She said she was contacted by the Police Commander to work inside Animal Control. She said it was a good experience and was able to look at the past animal control and the new animal control. She said she thinks we need a lot of help and there is disorder. She wants the City to know most importantly that the Animal Control Officers are devoted, enthusiastic, compassionate people and the City Manager and City Council do care about animal welfare and safety. She also works with the rescuers in the community. She said the most important thing is getting a TNR clinic in the city. She asked the City to consider a spay and neuter clinic as soon as possible.
Lisa Taylor, on behalf of the Purple Pageant and Young Teen Society, gave an update on the grant they received by the City. The orientation for the Young Teen Society program will be December 29 which will be a twelve step program teaching manners, etiquette, and life skills to young girls. They are working with business owners in Citrus Heights to help teach their classes. They are hosting a Boots and Bras fundraiser on October 26 and working with the Police Department to educate young girls on sex trafficking. They are trying to get girls involved in Kiwanis, Rotary, and other organizations. She thanked the City for their support of the Purple Pageant and youth in the community.
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment by Rick Hodgkins regarding Presentation Item 5, “On behalf of the millions and billions of people with disabilities in the United States, I would like to think Dr. Mayer Karpinsky Costa for taking me up on the offer of proclaiming October 2024 as national disability employment awareness month. I would like to remind the city council that we celebrate NDEAM during the month of October of every year. And I would like to also remind the city Council that we have two very important employment agencies, one of them which is based out of Citrus Heights. It is called progressive, employment concepts, and I can’t help with that. Wonder if you invited themto the meeting, because that while Goodwill industries, in alliance, Lincoln training center and pride, industries were all paying sub, minimum wages, progressive, employment concepts, never believed in paying people with developmental disabilities or any kind of disability sub, minimum wages. STEP agency, that where I receive services also believes in paying people with disabilities at or above the minimum wage. Once again, thank you for the proclamation, but I just thought I would remind everyone about progressive employment concepts on the web at progressive employment.org. Thank you.”
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment by Rick Hodgkins “As I was out yesterday, picking up pieces for a Halloween costume at spirit Halloween, and then picking up some small items at Walmart neighborhood market, the person I was with noticed that across the street at the sunrise mall that there was a carnival being set up. Are they here through Halloween?and if so, what are the hours and prices? Can someone please email me back more information? Thank you very much.”
City Clerk Van read the following written public comment by Rick Hodgkins regarding Consent Calendar Item 8, “I realize that this is on consent, but I wonder if this will include pedestrian safety, because as I pointed out, I would be crossing the street at antelope and sunrise or any other intersection here in citrus Heights and cars will block my path within the crosswalk. And so if this includes pedestrian safety along with safety for motorists, then I will support this!”

14. SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding – Citrus Heights Veterans Memorial Project STAFF REPORT: A. Feeney
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2024-103 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, to Enter a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), Between Citrus Heights Veterans Memorial Project, a 501(c)(3) Veterans Organization (“CHVMP”), Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services of the Diocese of Sacramento, Inc. (“CFCS”), and the City of Citrus Heights, a Municipal Corporation (“Citrus Heights”) for the Purpose of Constructing a Veterans Memorial
City Manager Feeney recollected Paul Reyes’ request and vision for a History and Arts Grant to bring the Wall that Heals to Citrus Heights in Spring 2023, which the City Council granted and was widely attended by the community. In March 2024, City Council adopted a strategic objective to explore partnerships to support opportunities to bring a permanent Vietnam Veterans Memorial into the city. After considerable location analysis and memorial installation approaches, Calvary Cemetery supported the idea and potential partnership resulting in the formation of a project Board and Committee and a Memorandum of Understanding for Council consideration.
Paul Reyes, Citrus Heights Veterans Memorial Project (CHVMP) board member, requested a History & Arts grant as seed money to get the project construction started. He stated the building of the structure will draw people from all over from the state, bringing tourism and schools to teach all grade levels about what his generation went through, how they were treated and how they responded, and hopefully the military will never be looked at or treated in that manner ever again. He stated all of these are positive and will only enhance the community and veteran community. He stated years from now when we are all ITEM 6

gone, that structure will still be here honoring those individuals and reminding people of what true American heroes are all about.
Kermit Schayltz, CHVMP Board and Project Committee member, thanked the City and community partners for supporting the project. He gave a personal account of people he served with and received military service medals.
Scott Miller, Catholic Funeral & Cemetery Services of the Diocese of Sacramento, CHVMP Board and Committee Chair, echoed that this is a passion project. Some people had personal experience in Vietnam, have friends on the Wall, have a desire to honor veterans, future generations and ensuring that situations such as what occurred in Vietnam and the treatment of veterans in general at that time does not occur again and that we learn from our history, and have a desire to have a memorial of this magnitude in the city. Everyone is emotionally invested and every member of the Board and Committee has committed to making financial contributions to the project. He presented a visual of the project location at Calvary Cemetery. He stated the replica wall would be the first of its kind in the Western United States. The wall would be a 75-80% scaled and engraved replica with ample space for future expansion and grave space for veterans and their families who wish to be laid to rest in the vicinity. He highlighted the various partners and donors making the project happen. He gave an overview of the project timeline, hoping for a final construction permit by April 30, 2025. Fundraising for the project has started and construction will begin when fundraising is complete, estimating $3.5 million. He requested the City Council to approve the MOU and the History & Arts grant application, and consider referrals of other organizations or individuals that would be supportive of the project for financial support. More information is available at https://chvmp.org.
Public Comment
Bob Churchill, accompanied by members of the Rotary Club of Citrus Heights, said the Rotary Club has been putting money aside until the right project came along and this is it.
Bill Van Duker said that Rotary through the years has supported many projects and don’t seek recognition and often do not get it. He said he has been nagging Rotary for decades about a signature project and he proudly endorses this project and asks for the City’s support. He said he believes this will bring Citrus Heights out of the shadows and make it a destination city for people not only in the region, but throughout California.

City Engineer Blomquist introduced the item. She stated the City regularly receives requests for residential streetlighting. There are many neighborhoods throughout the city that were built prior to incorporation without streetlighting infrastructure and the City’s existing streetlighting district which pays for the operation and maintenance of our existing system is currently underfunded. Earlier this year, Council established an objective to create a program that provides a selection of lamp post options to support private streetlighting to improve public safety and community identity. Review of lighting options included cost, performance, community impact, and how it may enhance public safety. She briefed the evaluation criteria. She stated solar options would be ideal for areas that don’t have existing electrical infrastructure, and wired options are ideal for areas that do have existing infrastructure and they provide consistent power delivery.
Engineering Technician Ma discussed the pros and cons of solar and wired lamp post options. He presented the cost comparison of options, including installation cost, maintenance cost, and lifespan.

Community Development Director Kempenaar introduced the item aligning with the Council’s strategic objective to provide an update on the Housing Rehabilitation Program and seek direction on CalHome Reuse funds.
Housing and Human Services Coordinator Piva provided an overview of the Housing Repair Program which is responsible for administering and monitoring the City’s local, federal, and state Housing and Community Development funds. Since 2000, the City has issued 315 loans and/or grants to eligible homeowners. The goal of the program is to reduce accumulated deferred maintenance, enhance the safety and security of occupants, improve minor structure defects or damages, and improve energy efficiency. The program includes single family repair loans, critical home repair grants, and accessibility grants. The City received CalHome funds on several occasions which were used on housing repair or downpayments. As a result of paid off loans, the City has reconciled the CalHome Reuse account at $673,003 which the City recommends using to assist low-income single-family households in accordance with CalHome guidelines. City staff continues to review and respond to grant opportunities that benefit housing repair programs.

ECT: Modifications to the Residential Large Item Collection/Neighborhood Cleanup (NCU) Program
Summary and Recommendation
Bas
ed on direction from the April 2024 City Council strategic planning process, staff evaluated the City’s current Residential Large Item Collection/Neighborhood Cleanup (NCU) Program to develop recommendations to help address associated blight issues. Staff provided an update at the August 28, 2024 City Council meeting and received direction to come back with a resolution to remove the waiver of enforcement for materials set out prior to the 48-hour program guidelines and to authorize an amendment with Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC (Republic Services) to provide for response to violations of the 48-hour requirement and further allow for penalties to be assessed to the customer of record for early set out of bulky item materials.
Sta
ff recommends the City Council adopt the following:
1) Res
olution No. 2024-___, A Resolution of the City Council of Citrus Heights, California, to Supersede Resolution 2006-89, Removing the Waiver of Penalties for Bulky Waste Materials Set Out More than 48 Hours Before Scheduled Collection Day and Affirming General Services Director Authority to Update Program Guidelines; and 2) Res

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This
item aligns with the following City Council Three Year Strategic Plan Objectives:
ITEM 7
Agenda Packet Page 16
Goal: Enhance Community Vibrancy
Objective: Present to City Council recommended modifications to the Neighborhood Clean Up (NCU) Program to address associated blight issues
Fiscal Impact
There is no impact to the FY 24-25 General Fund budget. This recommended amendment will be cost neutral. Costs associated with education and outreach to inform residents of program changes will be covered separately utilizing funds budgeted within the Solid Waste fund.
Background and Analysis
The residential Large Item Collection/Neighborhood Clean Up (NCU) program is currently structured to allow residential customers of Republic Services to place up to ten cubic yards of material at the curb in front of their homes for collection three times per year. Residents receive this service every four months, after being notified seven days in advance of their collection date via a door hanger. Once residents receive the door hanger, they are currently allowed to put materials at the curb but are encouraged not to do so more than 48 hours in advance of the scheduled service day. Many residents begin putting materials out as soon as they receive the door hanger and continue to put material out until the collection day.
The NCU program has come under increased scrutiny over the past several years due to ongoing blight and other challenges resulting from various aspects of the NCU structure. At the March 2024 Strategic Planning Retreat, City Council established a strategic objective for staff to present recommended modifications to the NCU program to specifically address associated blight issues.
Staff evaluated issues associated with having the program on a scheduled circuit every four months with the leeway to set out items seven days in advance of collection day to determine if improvements could be made to the existing program. In addition, staff looked at whether the program could be restructured to an on-call program similar to bulky waste collection services provided in neighboring jurisdictions. Some of the issues evaluated are discussed below.
Scavenging is extensive. This often results in materials being scattered about, bags ripped open, glass broken, and residents frustrated that they are continuously cleaning up piles up until the pickup day. At the same time, scavenging is sometimes considered a benefit as items that can be reused or repurposed have the potential to find a new home, which helps in diverting materials to the landfill. Unfortunately, there is also the negative consequence of materials being used to outfit illegal camps on public and private properties throughout the City and beyond. In the latter instances, discarded items are being cleaned up a second time by staff from the City, parks, schools, churches, library, as well as businesses and private property owners, often along with a great deal of other garbage that also accumulates.
Illegal dumping is common. The amount of time that material is on the street in any one neighborhood, during nearly every week of the year makes it relatively easy to illegally dump debris on a street. Because Citrus Heights is located adjacent to Placer County jurisdictions, where some cities do not have bulky item collection programs, it is likely that a portion of the ITEM 7
Agenda Packet Page 17
illegal dumping comes from outside Sacramento County. Because it is fairly easy to predict where a scheduled cleanup will be, and the fact that that many illegal dumps may go unnoticed due to piles being staged throughout a neighborhood area, illegal dumping may become an attractive option for those seeking to avoid a trip to the dump and the fees charged at Sacramento County and Placer County dump facilities.
While the blight associated with bulky material piles being out for up to a week at a time is a driving force leading to the push for change, there are other issues that support modifying the current program. Street sweeping schedule conflicts and holiday parking impacts during NCU weeks are some of the most prominent. Both these issues will be mitigated to some degree with the proposed amendment.
Street sweeping is coordinated to ensure it does not conflict with garbage service as much as possible. However, with piles on the streets of entire neighborhoods for up to a week at a time, conflicts invariably result. This makes it harder for the street sweeping contractor to stay on schedule. The proposed amendment will reduce the potential for street sweeping conflicts from five days to two days. Holiday impacts for neighborhoods are also reduced with piles allowed for a smaller window of time. In addition, the amendment includes language to avoid scheduling NCU dates for two days after holidays whenever possible.
While there are many reasons the NCU program is ready for refinement, there are also benefits to the current scheduled approach. People generally know when cleanups are coming and can plan tree trimming, seasonal yard work and cleaning, and minor home improvement projects around those months. Some residents feel that the scheduled NCUs motivate them to de-clutter and clean up their properties because the NCU is going to happen and they want to take advantage of it.
Staff met with the City Council’s Quality of Life Subcommittee on August 15, 2024, to review recommendations and obtain input. In addition to general feedback provided on a potential move to an on-call program, the Subcommittee recommended a Flash Vote be utilized to obtain additional citizen feedback. The Flash Vote survey was issued and used to inform the August 28, 2024 NCU Update to the City Council. Responses from the Flash Vote indicated that 90% of respondents use the NCU service and the vast majority are strongly supportive of the program and want it to stay.
The most common Flash Vote and general citizen recommendations for improvement include enforcement of the existing 48-hour advance set out requirements and to encourage reporting of early set outs using reporting tools such as SeeClickFix. With this input, staff recommended that the current NCU program structure of scheduled collection every four months be maintained but that the current leeway to set out materials up to seven days prior to the scheduled collection date be removed. Staff is also prepared to implement an extensive education and outreach campaign to ensure residents are fully aware of program changes.
The proposed amendment provides direction for Republic Services to include identification of early pile set outs as part of its regular NCU program management and to impose existing ITEM 7
Agenda Packet Page 18
“Improper Large Item Collection” fees for piles placed out for collection in violation of the 48- hour set out limits.
The Amendment further provides that for the first 4-month cycle of NCU in 2025, Republic Services will proactively identify large items that have been placed out prior to the 48-hour limit and provide education to the service recipient and the account holder, if different than the service recipient. After the first cycle of NCU service in 2025, Republic Services will have the ability to issue the “Improper Large Item Collection” penalties. Staff and Republic Services will roll out a robust outreach campaign for the entirety of calendar year 2025 that will include but is not limited to: direct mail; social media; revised doorhangers; online and print newspaper ads; along with the annual customer service guide calendar, city events and neighborhood area meetings.
After 2025, education and outreach about the NCU requirement will continue to be provided as part of the City’s existing solid waste outreach and education efforts.

BJECT: Amendment No. 5 to Street Sweeping Services Agreement with Wells Sweeping, LLC
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving Amendment No. 5 to the Agreement with Wells Sweeping, LLC for Street Sweeping Services.
The
Amendment is intended to extend the term of the current Agreement with Wells Sweeping, LLC through December 31, 2027, to allow existing service to continue without interruption or major changes as the City moves into a formal procurement process for residential garbage and recycling services. The garbage and recycling services procurement process is expected to take at least 18 months, and is intended to include street sweeping in its proposed scope of services.
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan 3-Year Goals to “Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance All Modes of Transportation” – and to “Maintain & Enhance Fiscal Stability”.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed 3-year amendment includes an initial rate of $43.98 per curb mile, which includes a one-time adjustment of $1.50 per curb mile in January 2025 to recognize increased labor, materials and operating costs. In addition, a not to exceed 3% CPI increase is factored in for calendar years 2026 and 2027. Funding sources include Stormwater, Solid Waste and Measure A Maintenance funds. The 3-year cost estimate is $1,537,729, however the cost will vary based on actual curb miles swept.
ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 24
The proposed costs per fiscal year are as follows:
Fiscal Year Term Total
24-25 January 2025 – June 2025 $ 231,863
25-26 July 2025 – June 2026 $ 504,458
26-27 July 2026 – June 2027 $ 519,591
27-28 July 2027 – December 2027 $ 281,817
3-YEAR TOTAL $1,537,729
Background and Analysis
Street sweeping is an important part of the City’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and general roadside maintenance program. In addition to preventing debris from gutters and roadsides from entering storm drains and into creeks and waterways, street sweeping also helps to keep bike lanes clean and safe for bicyclists and pedestrians.
There are approximately 510 residential/collector curb miles and 300 arterial curb miles that are swept each month. A curb mile is one mile of a street from the face of the curb extending out into the street, the width of the street sweeper. For arterial streets, the “curb” portion of the street includes medians and turn pockets that have raised curbs separating lanes and/or traffic directions. During storm season (November, December & January), residential/collector streets are swept twice per month. Additional sweeps may also be performed on arterials when storm events dictate.
The current agreement with Wells Sweeping expires on December 31, 2024. Staff is recommending a three-year extension of the current agreement to align with the upcoming residential garbage and recycling collection service procurement process as well as to be in sync with fleet electrification/zero-emission vehicle purchasing requirements mandated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Street sweeping is proposed to be incorporated into the scope of services of the next residential garbage and recycling collection service franchise agreement, which expires December 31, 2027.
The procurement process is expected to begin in calendar year 2025 and is expected to take between 18 to 24 months, depending on whether a new service provider is selected. In the event street sweeping is not included in the final scope of services for the garbage and recycling collection services agreement, the collection services procurement outcome will still inform a separate street sweeping service procurement to ensure improved coordination between the two services. Should street sweeping end up not being included in the garbage and recycling service agreement, it will be the subject of a separate Request for Proposals and there will not be any additional amendments to extend of the current agreement.
Regardless of how the next street sweeping procurement proceeds, impacts from the transition to zero-emission vehicles required by CARB will be included, applicable to street sweeping vehicle purchases starting in January 2027. The proposed amendment avoids incurring vehicle replacement costs through the end of 2028 as the contractor will continue to utilize its existing fleet, which includes two air sweepers and one broom sweeper purchased between 2020 and 2022.
ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 25
The proposed Amendment allows the City to maintain service continuity with the current vendor who has demonstrated consistent commitment and responsiveness, being willing to work with City staff to respond to immediate needs, and being flexible to provide make up days when conflicts with construction projects and/or the Neighborhood Cleanup Program arise. The current vendor has a strong track record of responding well within the required time frame for on-call response, frequently responding within the hour. The current vendor has also made significant investments in its fleet, GPS technology, and staff training over the past several years to further enhance service provision for the community.
The proposed contract Amendment includes a one-time adjustment of $1.50 per curb mile to address increased operational, maintenance costs. A maximum three percent CPI increase is also included for calendar years 2026 and 2027.

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 September 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.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The attached report is for informational purposes on the effects of current market conditions on the City’s investment portfolio.
Background and Analysis
The market value of cash and investments for all City funds on September 30, 2024, was $62,758,089, down from $68,084,169 on June 30, 2024. The decrease is mainly due to large payments related to construction projects and to activities related to the beginning of the fiscal year, including payment of the City’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance premiums.
Significant deposits for the FY 2024/25 first quarter (July through September 2024) included:

A portion of the City’s investments are under management by Chandler Asset Management (Investment Manager) as of March 2023. For more information regarding the City’s investments under management, 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 fair 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) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). LAIF is a money market fund administered by the State Treasurer that has many governmental agency participants and holds securities through its own administrator.
In July 2024, the City joined the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is a California Joint Powers Authority (JPA), a government agency that was established in 1989 to provide public agencies in California with professional investment services and options. CAMP is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of experienced local government finance directors and treasurers. The City has invested funds in the CAMP Pool, a stable net asset value investment rated AAAm by S&P Global. The CAMP Pool offers same-day liquidity similar to LAIF. Investments in the CAMP Pool are permitted under California Government Code Section 53601(p) and the City’s Investment Policy.
The value of fixed-income securities may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. As interest rates go up, the fair 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 gain for this reporting period is $196,700. 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 ITEM 10

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 sufficient cash flow to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of each entity for the next six months.
Pooled cash and investment 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 CAMP Pool complies with requirements outlined by GASB Statement No. 79, which allow the City to record its investment at amortized cost instead of fair value. The attached investment schedules meet all applicable GASB 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 the total funds used by end of September 2024 were $10.4 million. As of September 30, 2024, an uncommitted amount of $2.6 million will need to be obligated and reported to the US Treasury by December 2024. Funds need to be expended by December 31, 2026.
At the August 14, 2024, City Council meeting, Council approved the allocation of the remaining funds towards general government services and critical projects. The remaining balance of uncommitted funds will be allocated pursuant to the Council action from August 14 th. This will
be reflected on the December 31, 2024 Treasurer’s Report in accordance with the US Treasury guidelines. General government services and critical projects include but are not limited to 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; and general government services such as rehire public safety to pre-pandemic levels.

Subject: Measure A Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Fee Program – Approval of Nexus Study, Amended Agreement on Operating Protocols, and Ordinance Amendment Date: November 13, 2024
Printed on Recycled Paper
Fiscal Impact
This recommendation has no fiscal impact. All fees collected under this program are remitted to the STA for distribution through the capital program. Additionally, amendments to the Measure A Program do not increase or reduce the City’s distribution of Measure A revenues. The Fee Program allows the City to charge a 2% administrative fee to cover administrative reporting and similar costs to administer the fee.
Background and Analysis
In 2004, Sacramento countywide voters supported the renewal of Measure A (new Measure A), which is a 1/2 cent Transportation Sales tax. The new Measure A, which went into effect in 2009, included an Expenditure Plan and extended the existing Measure A sales tax for 30 years.
Administered by the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA), the new Measure A sales tax also required implementation of the Sacramento Countywide Transportation Mitigation Development Impact Fee Program (SCTMFP) for partial funding of the transportation improvements and projects identified in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. The program was created to generate a uniform transportation mitigation fee on certain new development in Sacramento County as a funding source for road and transit system improvements needed to accommodate projected growth.
Each jurisdiction was required to implement the SCTMFP as a condition of receiving the New Measure A sales tax revenues. These collected revenues are then remitted to the STA for reallocation to specific county-wide transportation projects included in the Measure A Expenditure Plan. Each local fee is required to be consistent with the SCTMFP, as adopted by the STA.
In 2022, the STA spearheaded efforts to conduct an updated nexus study supporting the SCTMFP to ensure current and forecasted land uses are consistent with the categories outlined in the program. Following extensive collaboration with the impacted agencies and various stakeholders, on June 13, 2024, the STA Governing Board approved a resolution:
• Adopting the 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study with additional land use categories • Setting the updated SCTMFP Fee Rates effective January 1, 2025 • Including a new residential fee structure to align with AB 602 requirements for fees to be proportional to square footage categories
• Amending the local arterial program to include smart growth arterials and corridors • Revising the SCTMFP overall program allocation.
On August 8, 2024, the STA Governing Board approved an Amended Agreement on Operating Protocols which incorporates the updated Fee Rates effective January 1, 2025, and includes fee reductions for infill and transit-oriented development projects, and additional exemptions for accessory dwelling units less than 750 square feet and development projects intended for use by the County or the City.

Updated Fee Amounts and New Residential Fee Structures. The fees for the various development types were updated using current trip generation rates consistent with state law. In addition, the residential fees were updated to align with AB 602 requirements for fees to be proportionate to the square footage of the proposed development. The Nexus Study consultant worked with local agency staff to find the most appropriate square footage categories. Based on the 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study fee calculation and the Agreement on Operating Protocols (Amended – August 2024), the new fee rates effective January 1, 2025, are set as follows:

Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to present information that the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) may find useful in updating the Sacramento County Transportation Mitigation Fee (SCTMF), pursuant to the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. The report updates previous work in several ways:
• It incorporates new land use forecasts for Sacramento County, prepared under a different contract.1 • The status of individual transportation projects was updated. This resulted in some projects no longer needing future SCTMF funding because the project has either been completed or is no longer planned.
• Project costs were updated, based on construction cost inflation and new estimates prepared by member agencies.
• The trip generation rates were updated to reflect the new data found in the 11th edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. • The percentage of the need for new transportation projects attributable to new development was recalculated using a version of SACOG’s latest travel demand model. • Board policies since the last nexus study, such as those regarding fees for retail developments, are reflected in the calculation of future fees.
• Several new sections were added based on requirements mandated by AB 602, which went into effect in 2022.
These updates enable STA and the local jurisdictions to reaffirm the findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act, which are described in Chapter 5, and implement the fee program.
Most readers of this report will find the calculation of the impact fees to be the part of greatest interest. This is found in Chapter 4. The proposed fee for the average single-family home would adhere to the 2004 voter- approved Measure A Ordinance’s express requirement to adopt a fee consistent with State law. In 2021, the Legislature passed AB 602, which requires cities, counties, and special districts, inter alia, to “calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development.” (Cal. Government Code, § 66016.5(a)(5)(a)). AB 602 also allows for other systems beyond square footage-based proportionality but requires “…an explanation as to why square footage is not an appropriate metric,” and “that an alternative basis […] bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by new development”, and “that other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments…” (Cal. Government Code, § 66016.5(a)(5)(b)).
Accordingly, the percentage increase or decrease in fees for different types of development varies due to changes in their trip generation rates and the new AB 602-mandated adjustment for floor area. For example, while the rate for the average single-family dwelling (SFD, medium size 1,601-2,400 sq.ft.) would not change, the fee for very small SFD (≤ 800 sq.ft.) would decrease by $486 (31%) and the fee for small SFD (801-1,200 sq.ft.) would decrease by $240 (15%). The fee for medium-small SFD (1,201-1,600 sq.ft.) would increase by $123 (8%) and the fee for large SFD (>2,400 sq.ft.) would increase by $156 (10%). Rates for age-restricted senior housing would decrease. Rates for multi-family dwellings would generally increase for all development types except very small units due to revisions to their trip-generation rate. Per the Measure A Ordinance, non-SFD rates are set in proportion to the trip generation rate of a (medium) single-family dwelling unit.

Please note that these are all “potential” changes to fees; the STA Board may, at its discretion, choose to set fee rates for any given development type at a level lower than that calculation in this report. It may not, however, set the fee rates higher than those supported by a nexus calculation.
The intent of this study is to validate the fee and allow the local jurisdictions to continue to implement the fee.
A local jurisdiction that fails to implement the fee would forfeit local street and road maintenance funds provided by Measure A. All such funds would be made immediately available on a pro rata basis to all other local jurisdictions that have this fee program in place.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this report
California’s Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 to 66025) requires agencies that impose impact fees to periodically review the assumptions and calculations used in computing the fee. It further requires them to revise the calculation if necessary to maintain a nexus, i.e. a logical connection between the developments that will be required to pay the fee and the impact being mitigated. The agency is then required to make certain specific findings certifying that the fee is in conformance with the Act. As STA does not impose impact fees, it would instead recommend that local agencies participating in the Measure A Program adopt the nexus study and revised fee schedule, with the local agencies then taking individual actions to formalize adoption.
The purpose of this report is to review the assumptions and methodology used in computing the Sacramento County Transportation Mitigation Fee (SCTMF), update them as needed, and recommend changes to the fee schedule that will enable it to accomplish the Program’s goals. The report is also intended to document this work and fulfill the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act, including new requirements pursuant to the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 602 in 2021.
1.2 Background on the SCTMF Program
In 1988 the voters of Sacramento County approved a half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements in Sacramento County. The Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) was created as a countywide transportation agency to fiscally administer the program. Measure A, the 30-year extension of the 1988 sales tax, was approved by voters in 2004 and went into effect in April 2009 when the previous tax expired.
One component of Measure A was the introduction of a countywide transportation mitigation fee. This was enacted by the STA Board in Section VII of STA Ordinance 04-01. The stated goal was “to develop and implement a uniform transportation mitigation fee on all new development in Sacramento County that will assist in funding road and transit system improvements needed to accommodate projected growth and development.”
The expected proceeds of the fee were tentatively allocated as follows:
35% Local streets and roads for capital improvements and rehabilitation 20% Public transit for capital improvements and rehabilitation 20% Local interchange upgrades, safety projects, and congestion relief improvements on the local freeway system, including bus and carpool lane projects. 15% Smart Growth Incentive Program
10% Transportation Project Environmental Mitigation, including, but not limited to, habitat conservation, open space preservation, habitat replacement, and recreation, and overall environmental enhancement of transportation facilities to the benefit of local transit users and neighborhoods. Necessary open space preservation and natural habitat preservation programs shall be eligible uses of these funds.
A nexus study for the fee was completed in June 2006 which recommended the fee of $1,000 per single- family dwelling, with other developments to be charged based on their trip-generation rate relative to single- family dwellings. This study is described in detail in a later section of this report.

1.3 Implementation History
SCTMF fees were imposed, and revenues are collected, by local jurisdictions in Sacramento County based on the SCTMF as part of their development approval process. The revenues are then remitted to STA, which then distributes the proceeds to various eligible projects in accordance with direction from the STA Board.
Each of the seven-member jurisdictions (the six incorporated cities plus the County) have projects included in the Expenditure Plan, as do three additional agencies. These are Caltrans, Sacramento Regional Transit, and the Capitol Southeast Connector JPA.
Fees started to be collected in 2009 when Measure A went into effect. More than $80.5 million in fees have been collected to date. Table 1 shows the program revenues by fiscal year and jurisdiction. Revenues have followed a general upward trajectory over time, as the development industry in the region has recovered from the Great Recession in (late 2007 to mid-2009).
Table 2 shows the program expenditures by fiscal year and implementing agency. As of June 30, 2023, the program has made more than $68 million available to six different agencies for Measure A projects.
Although the SCTMF Program has successfully brought in tens of millions of dollars for transportation projects needed to accommodate continued growth, the program has not achieved its revenue goals. Figure 1 compares the revenues that were forecast in the 2006 nexus study with the amounts actually received. For the 2008-2023 period, the program brought in only 16% of the expected revenue. This is due in large part to unfortunate timing, with the program kicking off during the Great Recession. Real estate development was among the hardest hit during the recession and among the slowest to recover. With little development activity taking place to generate revenue, impact fee programs across California failed to generate the revenues expected from pre-recession forecasts, when development was booming.

2. Review of Previous Nexus Study
Section 66016.5(a)(4) of AB 602, which went into effect on July 1, 2022, states that “If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.” This chapter is intended to fulfill this requirement by reviewing the methodology and assumptions used in the original nexus study by David Taussig & Associates, dated June 2006, entitled “Sacramento Transportation Authority Development Impact Fee Study”.
2.1 Methodology Used
The methodology used in the 2006 fee calculation is shown in Figure 2. The key steps were:
1) Estimates for the existing residential and non-residential land uses in Sacramento County were provided by SACOG.
The study purposefully excluded neighborhood and community retail uses from the fee calculation.
The rationale was that trips to and from these uses would be made on local streets and thus would not contribute to traffic on the regional roads funded by the fee program. 2) Trip generation rates were taken from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition. For the commercial retail land use category, a blended rate of 7 retail land use codes was used. The rates for retail uses were also adjusted to account for pass-by trips. 3) The number of units for each land use type, dwelling units for residential and square feet for non- residential, were multiplied by the ITE trip generation rates to estimate the daily number of vehicle trips generated in Sacramento County.
4) Forecasts for future growth were provided by SACOG and used to generate an estimate of the number of vehicle trips that would be generated in Sacramento County in the study’s horizon year (2039).
5) Future development’s fair share of the cost of roadway improvements was then calculated as its share of total trips generated in 2039, which was 31%.
6) A “Needs List” of projects was developed through consultation with Sacramento County, STA member cities, and Caltrans, and included in the Measure A Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP).
No further elaboration of this process was provided in the nexus study. However, the fact that the project list was approved by the voters, who agreed to tax themselves to pay for the projects, is strongly indicative of a consensus that the facilities listed are in fact needed. 7) A cost was assigned to every project on the Needs List. The nexus study did not state where the cost estimates came from, but it is likely that they were provided by whichever agency was tasked with implementing the project.
8) The percentage share of costs attributable to new development from Step 5 was applied to the project costs in Step 7 to find the total project costs attributable to new development. 9) This was divided by the growth in trips to find the allowable fee per new trip ($1,005/single-family dwelling).
10) The STA Board of Directors made a policy decision to limit the fee on new development to $1,000 per single-family dwelling.
11) The permissible fee rates from Step 9 were duly factored down pro rata so that the fee on single- family dwellings was $1,000.

12) Other sources of funding, including sales tax revenues, local agency fees, and State and federal programs, were identified as sources for the remaining funds required to implement the projects on the Needs List.
13) The final fee schedule was then submitted to the STA Board for approval.

2.2 Key Assumptions
As seen in Figure 2, the key assumptions in the 2006 study pertain to existing and proposed land uses, trip- generation rates, and project costs. These are discussed below.
Land Use Assumptions
The 2006 nexus study reported that its land use assumptions came directly from SACOG’s travel demand model; the origins of the data in the model were not discussed. Figure 3 compares the study’s assumed production of single-family housing (dark lines) and multi-family housing (amber lines). As shown in Figure 3, the 2006 study assumed that the average long-term monthly production of multi-family would approximately double the previous highest-ever single-month production. Contrary to this forecast, MFD production declined after 2006, resulting in a 4-or-5-fold overestimate of MFDs that would pay the fee. The 2006 study also assumed a reduction in single-family housing production, though the actual reduction was greater than the forecast reduction.
Figure 3: Forecast Versus Actual Housing Starts in Sacramento County
The discrepancy between the forecast and the actual housing production can mostly be attributed to the effects of the Great Recession on the local, state, and national real estate markets. Housing starts fell statewide by 68% between 2007 and 2009 and did not recover to pre-recession levels for 10 years.
Furthermore, SACOG’s belief at that time that residential development in the Sacramento region would focus on dense, infill development, including high levels of apartment development in Sacramento County, has not been fulfilled to the extent that had been hoped for in 2006.
Trip Generation Rates
The ITE Trip Generation Manual has been the standard industry source for vehicle trip data for generations.
The Trip Generation Manual contains data from field surveys of thousands of sites and is regularly updated to capture the effects of changes in travel behavior. The 2006 study’s use of this source was therefore in accordance with standard industry practice. The 2006 study used the 6th edition of the Trip Generation Manual; the current edition is the 11th.

3. Updates of Key Inputs
The current nexus study offers an opportunity to update the key assumptions underpinning the nexus between new development and the fee. This process is described below.
3.1 Development Growth Forecasts
Land use forecasts are made for a variety of reasons, including preparation of a jurisdiction’s General Plan, air quality conformity forecasts, and planning for transportation and other infrastructure projects, to name just a few. STA therefore commissioned Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to develop growth forecasts specifically for use in the SCTMF nexus update study. The results were documented in a technical memorandum to STA.2
EPS’s development forecasts project short-term and longer-term land use changes for the total STA geography and by individual jurisdiction. The short-term projections focus on a 3-year period – fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024 – while the longer-term development projections identify anticipated development through the remainder of the program (i.e. through 2039).
EPS used several sources when developing their forecasts, including historical building permit data by land use; the development pipeline, including planned and proposed development projects, residential units, non- residential square footage, etc.; and population, household, and employment projections. This data was provided by the seven-member jurisdictions, SACOG, the California Department of Finance, the Construction Industry Research Board, the North State Building Industry Association, and several media outlets.
EPS grouped potential development into three categories:
1. Active Entitled Development. This category includes the remaining residential units and nonresidential square footage for projects that are delivering homes or building infrastructure, including only those residential units and nonresidential square footage where building permits have not yet been issued. Development projects in this category are either developing – with absorption anticipated to continue in the near term – or anticipated to start vertical construction within the next 3 to 5 years.
2. Planned Development. Planned development includes projects that have been approved and have tentative maps, but infrastructure has not yet been initiated. Development in this category is considered likely to develop within the next 5 to 20 years.
3. Conceptual Development. Development classified as conceptual for this analysis includes projects for which planning applications may have been submitted but not yet approved. This category also includes development concepts that may have been reported by the local jurisdiction, developers, or via third-party sources such as the Sacramento Business Journal or other news entities.
Development in this category may not occur within the next 20 years.
Growth forecasts at the county and city levels were used as control totals to limit the growth in the three categories described above to amounts reasonably foreseeable within the life of the SCTMF Program, considering past development performance.
Figure 4 charts the development of single-family dwellings since 2011 and the forecast going forward to the end of the SCTMF Program in 2039. Note the spike in construction in the City of Sacramento after a

moratorium on development in Natomas3 was lifted, allowing many projects already in the development pipeline to proceed.
Figure 5 shows data for the same period for the development of multi-family housing. There was a surge in units between 2015 and 2020, especially in the Natomas, Downtown, and Midtown areas. This is forecast to drop as the stock of relatively easily developed lots becomes exhausted.
Figure 6 shows the corresponding graphs for non-residential development. In 2016 there was a spike in construction, again due to lifting the moratorium on development in Natomas, but also encompassing major developments in other locations, like Delta Shores.
In each case, the period between 2015 and 2020 appears to represent one-off occurrences of the release of pent-up demand. The forecasts going forward represent a return to long-term average conditions.
3.2 Traffic and Ridership Growth Forecasts
The development forecasts from the previous section must be converted into forecasts for the growth in traffic associated with new development in Sacramento County. The conversion from dwelling units (for residential development) and thousands of square feet (for non-residential developments) to trips was done using the trip generation rates found in the eleventh edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual.
The Trip Generation Manual has dozens of land use categories that do not directly correspond to the land use categories used in the land use forecast. For example, the Trip Generation Manual has trip generation rates for 76 types of retail and service establishments aggregated into a single “Commercial, Retail” category in the land use forecasts. This reflects the reality that a commercial building may host a variety of tenants over its service life, so attempting to forecast individual uses, for example, “hair salons,” would be speculative at best. Instead, some representative use sub-categories were combined to generate averages to represent large categories of development. Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, and Table 7 show the derivation of the average trip generation rates for the commercial/retail, industrial, warehouse/self-storage, and lodging categories, respectively. Table 7 shows the resulting rates used to forecast the growth in traffic attributable to future development in Sacramento County.
The growth estimates for each category were then multiplied by their respective trip-generation rates to determine the growth in daily vehicle trips generated by new development (see Table 8). A similar calculation was done for the trips generated by existing land uses, with the existing land uses taken from SACOG’s SACSIM travel demand model. Table 8 shows that 5.6% of the trips generated in Sacramento County in 2039, when Measure A expires, would be attributable to new development.
Besides generating new vehicle trips, new development also generates new users for the transit system. This was computed as the percentage of dwelling units in the horizon year that would be built between 2022 and 2039. As seen in Table 8, 8.7% of transit riders in 2039 could be attributed to new development.
3 In the wake of the flooding of parts of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina, the Federal government imposed a moratorium on development in the Natomas basin until the levees protecting it could be inspected and strengthened. The moratorium lasted 7 years. It was lifted in 2015.

3.3 Volume-to-Capacity Ratios
For an impact fee to be collected, there must be a need for capacity improvements that are triggered by new development. Capacity deficiencies are identified using level of service (LOS) thresholds that are established in a jurisdiction’s general plan. The LOS policies of the 7 jurisdictions in Sacramento County are shown in Table 9.
Table 9: LOS Policies of Jurisdictions in Sacramento County Jurisdiction LOS Policy
Sacramento County “D" on rural roadways, “E” on urban roadways City of Sacramento* See note below
Elk Grove Not explicitly stated, but target delay at signalized intersections corresponds to LOS “D”
Folsom LOS “D”, with some exceptions allowed
Rancho Cordova LOS “D”, with some exceptions allowed
Citrus Heights LOS “E”, with some exceptions allowed
Galt LOS “C”, except “D” within ¼ mile of SR-99 interchanges *The City of Sacramento has adopted Traffic Impact Study Guidelines, which identify roadway volume service thresholds that approximate an equivalent LOS C/D threshold for roadway sizing.
As can be seen in Table 9, the predominant approach among Sacramento County jurisdictions is to maintain LOS “D” in most situations. This balances a reasonable degree of mobility with the need to keep the cost of infrastructure at an affordable level.
Table 10 shows the volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio for the Measure A roadway projects that have not yet been constructed. The volumes assume that the forecast new growth occurs and the capacity assumes that no improvements are made to the roadway network. For context, a V/C ratio between 0.9 and 1.0 indicates LOS “E” and a V/C ratio greater than 1.0 indicates LOS “F.” For every project on the list, new growth worsens the V/C ratio. And in every case but one, the V/C ratio would be worse than the acceptable threshold of 0.90, which is the upper limit of LOS “D”. Based on these results, we determined that new development causes or contributes to the deficiencies triggering every project listed in Table 10 except for A25SC.

3.4 Project Cost Estimates
As can be seen in the Measure A project list in Table 11, since its passage, 19 Measure A projects have been completed and will need no further funding from the SCTMF Program. Additionally, 7 projects have been dropped from the list for one reason or another, and will also not need SCTMF Program funding.
Member agencies were asked to provide their most recent cost estimates for the remaining projects. These estimates, shown in Column A of Table 11, were developed in different years and were adjusted to reflect current construction prices. Per STA policy, this adjustment used the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI) overall annual average. Table 12 shows how the construction cost inflator was developed from the price indices for all 20 cities reported in ENR’s survey of construction prices nationwide.

4. Updated Fee Calculation
4.1 Consideration of Residential Floor Area
The State of California has instituted a new policy4 pertaining to fees on residential developments. California Government Code Section 66016.5(a)(5), which is new with the enactment of AB 602, states that, “(A) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. (B) A nexus study is not required to comply with subparagraph (A) if the local agency makes a finding that includes all of the following:
(i) An explanation as to why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.
(ii) An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. (iii) That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees. (C) This paragraph does not prohibit an agency from establishing different fees for different types of developments.”
AB 602 applies to impact fee programs generally and was not tailored to fit circumstances specific to transportation impact fees. Web research revealed that there are currently no well-established sources for trip generation rates based on residential unit size. However, data on the number of persons per household can be obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey, and data on the number of trips by household size is available from NCHRP Report 716, Travel Demand Forecast: Parameters and Techniques. This data was combined, as shown in Table 13, to estimate trip generation rates by residential unit size. The residential unit size categories were determined in coordination with the working group including the local agencies that have adopted the SCTMF Program. The data is based on single-family homes; the average size for a single-family home in Sacramento County is 2,255 sq. ft.
As can be seen in Table 13, although the trip generation rate is related to the size of the residence, it is not directly proportionate to the floor area, as is assumed in Section 66016.5(a)(5)(A). We recommend that STA therefore find, pursuant to Section 66016.5(a)(5)(B)(i), that it would not be appropriate to use square footage directly as the metric of traffic impacts for the purposes of the SCTMF Program. It should instead find, pursuant to Section 66016.5(a)(5)(B)(ii), that the data supports fees based on the relationships shown in the bottom row of Table 13 for new very small, small, medium-small, medium, and large-sized homes. It should further find, pursuant to Section 66016.5(a)(5)(B)(iii), that these relationships would ensure that smaller units would not be charged disproportionate fees compared to larger units.

CGC Section 66016.5(a)(5)(C) allows agencies to establish different fees for different types of developments. As a matter of policy, STA determined that fees on multi-family housing should be set lower than those of single-family dwellings, in recognition of their low trip generation rates. The rates for multi-family and senior age-restricted housing were therefore calculated based on their respective daily trip-generation rates found in the ITE Trip Generation Manual. The average size for multifamily units in Sacramento County is less than 1,200 sq. ft., so the ITE rate for them, which represents the average unit, was used to compute the “Small” values for these dwelling types. The ratios between the trip-generation rates for the size categories are found in the bottom row of Table 13.

Table 13 was then used to compute the dwelling unit equivalents (DUEs) for different sizes of single-family, multi-family, and senior age-restricted housing. As with single-family dwellings, the use of size categories accords with the intent of Section 66016.5(a)(5)(B)(iii) that smaller units are not charged disproportionate fees compared to larger units.
Table 14: Computation of DUEs by Size and Dwelling Type
4.1.1 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
In addition to the considerations discussed above pursuant to AB 602, a separate piece of legislation, SB 13, passed in 2019, establishes a new system for assessing fees on accessory dwelling units (ADUs). It amended CGC Section 65852.2(3)(A)(f)(3) to read,
“A local agency, special district, or water corporation shall not impose any impact fee upon the development of an accessory dwelling unit less than 750 square feet. Any impact fees charged for an accessory dwelling unit of 750 square feet or more shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.”
Based on this subsection, if an ADU is smaller than 750 square feet it is exempt from the SCTMF. Fees on ADUs larger than 750 square feet require a two-part calculation. First, the SCTMF that would be charged to the primary dwelling unit is calculated, then the fee on the ADU is computed based on the ratio of its floor area to the primary dwelling unit. For example, if the primary dwelling unit were 2,000 sq. ft. and would be charged a fee of $800, then an ADU 1,000 sq. ft. in size on that property would be charged a fee of $400 (50% of the size, so 50% of the fee).
4.2 Computing the Maximum Allowable Fee
The methodology used to update the fee schedule repeated the first nine steps in the previous nexus study as shown in Figure 2, except that all inputs were updated as described in Chapter 3 of this report.
Table 15 shows how the updated project costs from Table 11 were combined with the updated forecast for new growth from Table 8 to compute the maximum allowable project cost attributable to each vehicle trip generated by new development in Sacramento County. Additionally, Table 15 computes the maximum allowable cost per DUE, based on the Fee per New Vehicle Trip and the trip generation rate of a single- family home from Table 7. Table 15 also reflects that the SCTMF has already spent some funds for projects that are in development but are not yet complete. This reduces the amount of funding needed from future development.

Table 15: Calculation of Fee per New Vehicle Trip (for Roads) and Per New Dwelling Unit Equivalent (for Roads and Transit)
4.3 Recommended Fee by Land Use Category
The next step is to compute the maximum allowable fee for each unit of new development. For residential uses, this is done by multiplying the DUE rates for each dwelling size shown in Table 14 by the fee per new DUE shown in Table 15.
Table 16 shows both the maximum allowable and proposed fee schedule for residential developments after the size adjustments shown in Table 14 were applied. Per the Measure A Ordinance, fees for uses that are not the average single-family unit (medium size) “shall be proportionate to the trip generation rate of the affected land use relative to the trip generation rate of a single family [sic] unit.” The DUEs presented in Table 14 take into account the trip generation rates proportionate to the average single-family unit. Therefore, the proposed road cost per DUE and proposed fee per unit shown in Table 16 is calculated based on the current fee for the medium size single-family unit (equal to 1.00 DUE).
One notable feature of the table that is worth explaining is that the fees for multi-family dwellings (MFDs) increased more than the rates for single-family dwellings (SFDs). The reason is that trip generation rates for SFDs have decreased since 2006 as the average household size and the average number of working adults have declined for this housing type. On the other hand, the trip generation rate for MFDs has risen over the same period as fewer growing families have been able to move into SFDs due to affordability issues. The result is that MFDs have a relatively greater impact on roadway congestion than in the past.
The fees for non-residential developments are shown in Table 17. The cost per new trip generated from Table 15 was multiplied by the trip generation rates from Table 7 to produce the maximum allowable fee for each land use type. As stated previously, one of the purposes of this nexus study is to ensure that proposed fees are defensible. In other words, that the proposed fees are less than the maximum allowable fees.
The proposed fees, to comply with Measure A, are based on the escalated cost of $1,000 per SFD originally established in 2006. Accordingly, the proposed SFD fee in 2023 dollars is $1,574 per average SFD, which falls in the medium SFD size category in the revised fee schedule. Using the proposed fee per SFD ($1,574 per unit) we can calculate the proposed cost per trip to be $167 based on the daily trip generation rate for a single-family home (9.44). The proposed fee per unit is then calculated by multiplying the proposed cost per trip by the trip generation rate (column A). One noticeable aspect of Table 17 is that the percentage change in fee differs substantially for different development types. This arises from the fact that the trip generation rates for different land use categories have changed over time as travel behaviors and markets evolve.

4.4 Funding from Other Sources
As was discussed in the earlier sections, the SCTMF will provide only a portion of the funding required to implement the Measure A project list. The remainder must come from some other source. As is always the case with decades-long programs like the SCTMF, funding opportunities come and go with the passage of individual infrastructure funding acts, so there is always a degree of uncertainty regarding future funding.
That said, the amount of grant funding provided to the Measure A projects that have been completed provides a general idea of grant funding that may be available in the future.
Table 18 shows the amount of grant funding used for individual projects that have now been completed.
These have been grouped into four programs because the amount of grant funding often differs depending on the type of project. For example, Table 18 shows that local arterial projects have on average received 60% grant funding while transit capital improvements have received 80% grant funding.
Table 19 compares the amount of grant funding needed with the grant funding that has been historically available. In most cases, the amount needed and the amount received are roughly consistent. The sole exception is the Local Freeway Interchange Congestion Relief Upgrades program, where STA may need to seek additional funding from local jurisdictions if sufficient grant funding does not materialize.
4.4.1 Funding from Local Jurisdictions
Local funding (jurisdiction funding) is all funding identified for a project that is not grant funding or SCTMF funding. However, this may include Measure A sales tax funding.

5. Mitigation Fee Act Findings
The Mitigation Fee Act, as set forth in the California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66008, establishes the framework for mitigation fees in the State of California. The Act requires agencies to make five findings with respect to a proposed fee. These are described in the sections below.
5.1 Purpose of the Fee
Identify the purpose of the fee
The Sacramento County Transportation Mitigation Fee is imposed on new development to ensure that it pays its fair share of roadway improvements, the need for which is triggered in whole or in part by new development.
5.2 Use of Fee Revenues
Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified
The projects to be funded through the SCTMF were approved by the voters of Sacramento County through Measure A. The projects expected to receive SCTMF revenues in the future are listed in Table 19.
5.3 Use/Type-of-Development Relationship
Determine the reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed
To determine the “use” relationship, the development being assessed an impact fee must be reasonably shown to derive some use or benefit from the facility being built using the fee. In the case of the SCTMF, the projects to be funded were selected because they performed a regional function and the need for the project was at least partially attributable to new development. The growth in vehicle trips and the increases in congestion at project sites (see Table 10) are evidence that new development contributes to the need for roadway improvements.
The fact that the projects that will be funded by the SCTMF are high-priority roads and transit means that all of the county’s new residents and businesses will benefit in important ways from the maintenance of a reasonable level of service. Most drivers in the new developments can be expected to use these roads regularly, and those that do not will nevertheless benefit because good traffic conditions on the SCTMF-funded roads will keep drivers from diverting to other roads and causing congestion in other parts of the county. Even residents or workers in the new developments who do not drive at all will benefit from access to goods and services made possible in part by the serviceability of the county road network.
5.4 Need/Type-of-Development Relationship
Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed
To determine the “need” relationship, the facilities to be financed must be shown to be needed at least in part because of the new development. This was determined by analyzing the forecast traffic demand with the expected degree of new development and comparing that with the demand without ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 91
GHD | Sacramento Transportation Authority | 12578763 | 2024 Nexus Study Update Report 1
new development. As is shown in Table 10, all of the projects that will receive SCTMF money are designed to address capacity deficiencies due at least in part to new development.
5.5 Proportionality Relationship
Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed
The “proportionality” relationship requires rough proportionality between the fee charged to each type of development and the cost of the facility being financed. In the case of the SCTMF, the differences in the traffic generated by different types of development were factored into the fee to be charged for each type, as described in Table 17. Within each land use category, the size of the project, i.e. the number of dwelling units constructed or size of the building, is accounted for in assessing the fee. This ensures that projects that generate a lot of traffic and therefore have a greater traffic impact will pay more than other projects that have less impact.
5.6 Residential Floor Area
CGC§ 66016.5(a)(5)(B): A nexus study is not required to comply with subparagraph (A) if the local agency makes a finding that includes all of the following:
(i) An explanation as to why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on a housing development project.
(ii) An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. (iii) That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.
CGC§ 66016.5(a)(5) subparagraph (A), which is new as part of AB 602, requires fees on housing development to be proportionate to the square footage of proposed units of the development unless the agency chooses to make the three findings described above. During the course of this study, we found that while the traffic impacts from residential developments are related to the floor area of the unit, the relationship is not one of direct proportionality. We therefore recommend that STA make the following findings with respect to the SCTMF Program:
• That square footage, applied as a direct proportion, is not an appropriate metric for calculating traffic impact fees for residential developments, based on substantial evidence showing that the number of vehicle trips generated by residential units is not directly proportional to the floor area (see Table 13). • That an alternative basis of calculating traffic impact fees, based on the expected number of trips generated by very small, small, medium-small, medium, and large units, but not directly proportional to floor area, would bear a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. This alternative method is supported by substantial evidence from the American Housing Survey and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). • That the differences in trip generation characteristics between single-family residences, multi-family residences, mobile homes in mobile home parks, and age-restricted senior residences, as determined through surveys collected by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, justify using separate fee levels for these different types of units. • That differentiating between very small, small, medium-small, medium, and large units within each category of housing would ensure that smaller developments are not charged fees disproportionate to their traffic impacts.

STA & Entity
Additionally, pursuant to CGC 66005.1(b), if a housing development does not satisfy the characteristics in subdivision (a) per above, the local agency may charge a fee that is proportional to the estimated rate of automobile trip generation associated with the housing development.
Residential units satisfying the requirements for this reduction shall have their fee lowered based on a Traffic Study, stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer, which demonstrates the lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with a TOD and other similar types of development compared to developments without these characteristics. STA may provide a standard TOD reduction based on studies related to TODs. The applicant could then either use the standard reduction or provide a project -specific study for STA staff to review.
For example, within Sacramento County, a transit station could include, but is not limited to, the Zinfandel Station, Franklin Station, Consumnes River Light Rail Station, and Sacramento Valley Station which serves Amtrak, Bus, and Light Rail (Sacramento Regional Transit), and the future Valley Rail station in midtown Sacramento.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 103
SCTMFP: Agreement on Operating Protocols 11
STA & Entity
Where a new project changes the prior established use of an existing building, a reduction may be applied to the SCTMFP fee where the new use increases ADT’s compared to the prior use.
c. Where the Entity determines that a project qualifies for a reduction pursuant to this policy, it shall determine the fee reduction by comparing the rates applicable to the prior and new uses as designated in the SCTMFP Fee Schedule and calculating the resulting offset. In the alternative, where a proposed land use is not clearly listed in the Fee Schedule, the fee shall be calculated as follows: (1) calculate the difference between previous ADT’s and new ADT’s at the property; (2) multiply the result by the normalized cost per trip.
d. Requests for a fee reduction pursuant to this provision shall be made to the Entity. The Entity shall determine whether a project has made the required showing for a fee reduction. There shall be no right to an appeal.
At the time the fee reductions are assessed, the Entity may request guidance from the STA Executive Director.

CEQA Compliance. Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Statutory Exemption Section 15273(a)(4) allow for the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. The ordinance amendments are to reflect changes in the newly adopted 2024 SCTMFP Nexus Study to include new land use categories and definitions and additional exemptions to the Measure A Fee. This action clearly meets the requirements of PRC Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Statutory Exemption Section 15273(a)(4) because it will fund capital improvement projects within the existing service area of the Citrus Heights City Limits and would not result in the expansion of the transportation system or any other uses or activities.
Therefore, the proposed action is not subject to the provisions of CEQA.
SECTION 3. Amendments to Chapter 18 (Buildings and Building Regulations)
The City Council hereby adopts the amendments to Article XXX Chapter 18 Development Impact Fees to for Measure A Transportation Improvements, as shown and incorporated in Exhibit A to this ordinance.
SECTION 4. Severability. If any section, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision, and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof.
SECTION 5. Effective Date and Notice. This ordinance shall take effect sixty (60) days after its adoption, in accordance with Government Code 66017, provided it is published in full or in summary within fifteen (15) days of its adoption, in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City of Citrus Heights.

Agenda Packet Page 118
Developments in areas with Reduced Parking Availability may be subject to reduced fees, at the sole discretion of the General Services Director, if the development project results in reduced trip generation. Any such fee reduction must be supported by a Traffic Study submitted by the Applicant and prepared and stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer and which has been accepted by the City Engineer.
D. Fees for Housing Developments.
1. Generally. The fee imposed pursuant to this Chapter for a Transit Oriented Development shall be set at a rate that reflects a lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with that Transit Oriented Development in comparison with non-Transit Oriented Development, unless the City adopts findings after a public hearing establishing that the Transit Oriented Development would not generate fewer automobile trips than a non-Transit Oriented Development. If a housing development does not satisfy the characteristics of a Transit Oriented Development, the City will charge a fee pursuant to this Chapter that is proportional to the estimated rate of automobile trip generation associated with the housing development.
2. Traffic Study.
2.1. Project-Specific Traffic Study. Housing developments seeking a fee adjustment pursuant to this section shall submit a traffic study, stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer (and which has been accepted by the City Engineer), which demonstrates the lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with the applicable housing development compared to the Nexus Study.
2.2. Alternative Traffic Study. A Transit Oriented Development may submit to City a traffic study, stamped by a licensed Traffic or Civil Engineer (and which has been accepted by the City Engineer), which demonstrates the lower rate of automobile trip generation associated with Transit Oriented Developments and other similar types of development compared to non-Transit Oriented Developments. In the event a Transit Oriented Development submits the Alternative Study pursuant to this section, the Finance Director, in consultation with STA, may apply a standard Transit Oriented Development fee reduction based on studies related to Transit Oriented Developments unless the applicable Transit Oriented Development elects to provide City with a Project-Specific Traffic Study, as described in section 18-813(D)(2.1), for the General Services Director to use in calculating the appropriate fee hereunder.
E. Re-purposing/Reuse of Existing Buildings.
A. The fee imposed pursuant to this Chapter for any re-purposing or change in use of existing buildings shall only apply to the net increase in average daily trips attributable to the new purpose or use, as compared to the prior established use.
B. Fees shall be calculated hereunder by comparing the rates applicable to the prior and new uses as designated in the City’s Fee Schedule and calculating the resulting offset. In the alternative, where a proposed land use is not clearly listed in the Fee Schedule, the fee shall be calculated as follows:
ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page 119
1. Calculate the difference between previous average daily trips and new average daily trips at the property. The determination of average daily trips for the purpose of comparing previous and proposed uses shall be by reference to trip generation rates obtained from the Institute of Traffic Engineers.
2. Multiply the result by the normalized cost per trip.
C. Requests for a fee adjustment pursuant to this provision shall be made to the City in writing. The Finance Director shall determine whether a development project has made the required showing for a fee adjustment.
Section 18-814 Use of funds shall be added as follows:
Sec. 18-814. – Use of funds.

B. Upon review of each report described in subsection (A) of this section, the city council shall take one of the following actions required by Section 66001 of the Government Code with respect to any unexpended or unappropriated fee revenue in the appropriate special fund which was received and deposited in such fund five or more years prior to the date of such report:
1. Appropriate all or any part of such unexpended or unappropriated fee revenue for the construction, installation, acquisition or provision of the public facilities for which the fee was imposed;
