This strategy aims to cultivate a vibrant, family-friendly environment that attracts a diverse array of businesses and services, which in turn can spur long-term economic growth and community engagement. Introducing a liquor store at this location could inadvertently discourage other service- oriented and professional businesses from establishing themselves in the shopping center. These businesses are critical to the success of the Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay initiative as they contribute to a balanced and dynamic commercial ecosystem. Furthermore, the presence of a liquor store might attract a transient population, potentially leading to security concerns and undermining the family-friendly atmosphere we aspire to create. Instead, we should focus on attracting businesses that align with our vision for the Sunrise MarketPlace Overlay area. This includes educational establishments, healthcare services, retail boutiques, and dining experiences that cater to a broad demographic. By doing so, we can ensure that the shopping center becomes a cornerstone of our community, fostering both economic prosperity and a sense of belonging among residents. In conclusion, while the opening of new small businesses is vital, they must be carefully considered to ensure they support our long-term strategic goals and community values.”

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from Dave Smith, “I vote no.”

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from John Smith, “We already have several liquor vendors in the area. We need a nice restaurant and not more liquor license shops.”

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from John Copeland, “We already have multiple retailers that offer liquor in the area adding another does not benefit the public. Please vote NO for an additional liquor store.”

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from Ken Adams, “I want to vote no on additional license for bourbon and more because we don’t need more liquor stores in this area we need maybe a nice restaurant.”

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from Nick Powell, “Not another liquor store. We already have so many businesses that sell liquor. How about a restaurant or gym?”

Mayor Karpinski-Costa closed the public hearing.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following:

a. Move to adopt Resolution No. 2024-116 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Finding that the Previously Adopted EIR, EIR Addendums and Negative Declaration Are the Appropriate Environmental Documents for Starbucks at Stock Ranch Project and No Further Review is Required

b. Move to approve an amendment to the Stock Ranch Guide for Development to allow extended operating hours for fast-casual and drive-thru restaurants as outlined in the Staff Report and Attachment 2

c. Move to approve the Design Review Permit (File # PLN-24-08) for the proposed coffee shop with drive-through service located at 6970 Auburn Boulevard subject to the findings contained in the staff report as per the conditions provided as Attachment 1A.

d. Move to approve the Use Permit for the proposed coffee shop with drive-thru service located at 6970 Auburn Boulevard

Assistant Planner Lui explained the project includes a request to amend the Stock Ranch Guide for Development related to drive-through restaurant hours of operation. It also includes a use permit associated with the drive-through, as well as a design review permit. She stated this was presented to the Planning Commission and they recommended approval by the City Council. The project location is within the Stock Ranch Special Planning Area adjacent to Auburn Boulevard and includes the construction of a 2300 ft drive-through coffee shop with landscaping and improvement plans as wells as an on-site trash enclosure. The building offers approximately 750 square feet of indoor dining areas as well as a 716 ft outdoor dining area. The project meets and exceeds the minimum drive-through circulation standards providing adequate space for vehicle stacking and queuing. She stated the applicant is requesting to amend the Guide for Development’s drive-through hours of operation by one hour, changing the allowable opening time from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. She provided an overview of notable conditions of approval for the project.

City Council questions followed.

Public Comment

City Clerk Van read the following public comment from Alfred Sanchez, “If Starbucks wants to have two coffee shops a few blocks apart. That's fine. As long as the new one doesn't have a drive thru. Allowing a drive thru at that location would not be a good idea. I understand we need the tax dollars but please use common sense.”

Elizabeth Valerio with Valerio Architects on behalf of the applicant provided an overview of the project and responded to questions from Council Members.

ORDINANCE NO. 2024-008

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS AMENDING CHAPTER 42 “FLOODS” OF THE CITRUS HEIGHTS

MUNICIPAL CODE

The City Council of the City of Citrus Heights does ordain as follows:

The provisions of Chapter 42 of the City of Citrus Heights Code are amended, as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment. Section 42-4 of the Citrus Heights Code is hereby amended to read as set forth below:

Sec. 42-4. Definitions.

Unless specifically defined in this section, words or phrases used in this chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this chapter its most reasonable application. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Accessory use means a use which is incidental and subordinate to the principal use of the parcel of land on which it is located.

Adversely affects means that the cumulative effect of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point.

Alluvial fan means a geomorphologic feature characterized by a cone- or fan-shaped deposit of boulders, gravel, and fine sediments that have been eroded from mountain slopes, transported by flood flows, and then deposited on the valley floors, and which is subject to flash flooding, high velocity flows, debris flows, erosion, sediment movement and deposition, and channel migration.

Apex means the point of highest elevation on an alluvial fan, which on undisturbed fans is generally the point where the major stream that formed the fan emerges from the mountain front.

Appeal means a request for a review of the floodplain administrator's interpretation of any section of this chapter or a request for a variance.

Area of shallow flooding means a designated AO or AH zone on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet, a clearly defined channel does not exist, the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate, and velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow.

Area of special flood hazard. See Special flood hazard area.

Area of special flood-related erosion hazard means the land within a community that is not likely to be subject to severe flood-related erosion losses. The area may be designated as zone E on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM).

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 17
Printed on Recycled Paper
Area of special mudslide (i.e., mudflows) hazard means the area subject to severe mudslides (i.e., mudflows). The area is designated as zone M on the flood insurance rate map (FIRM).

Backfill means the placement of fill material within a specified depression, hole or excavation pit below the surrounding adjacent ground level as a means of improving floodwater conveyance or to restore the land to the natural contours existing prior to excavation.

Base flood means the flood having a one-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year; also called the 100-year flood.

Basement means any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides.

Building. See Structure.

Building Code means California Code of Regulations Title 24, the California Building Standards Code, the family of building codes specifically adopted by the State of California and composed of: (1) Part 2, applicable to buildings and structures other than dwellings within the scope of this part; (2) Part 2.5, applicable to one and two-family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories, and accessory structures; (3) Part 10, applicable to existing buildings (as defined in that code); and (4) other specified codes.

Critical feature means an integral and readily identifiable part of a flood protection system, without which the flood protection provided by the entire system would be compromised.

Curvilinear line means the border on either a flood hazard boundary map or flood insurance rate map that delineates the special flood, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood-related erosion hazard areas and consists of a curved or contour line that follows the topography.

Development means any manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials.

Encroachment means the advance or infringement of uses, plant growth, fill, excavation, buildings, permanent structures or development into a floodplain that may impede or alter the flow capacity of a floodplain.

Erosion means the process of the gradual wearing away of land masses. This peril is not per se covered under the National Flood Insurance Program.

Existing manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, is completed before the effective date of the floodplain management regulations adopted by a community.

Expansion to an existing manufactured home park or subdivision means the preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads.

Fill means the placement of fill material at a specified location to bring the ground surface up to a desired elevation.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 18
Printed on Recycled Paper
Fill material can be natural sand, dirt, soil or rock. For the purposes of floodplain management, fill material may include concrete, cement, soil cement, brick or similar material as approved on a case-by-case basis.

Flood, flooding and floodwater mean:
(1) A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from:
a. The overflow of inland or tidal waters;
b. The unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; and/or
c. Mudslides (i.e., mudflows) which are proximately caused by flooding, as defined in subsection (2) of this definition, and are akin to a river of liquid and flowing mud on the surfaces of normally dry land areas, as which earth is carried by a current of water and deposited along the path of the current; and (2) The collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in subsection (1) of this definition.

Flood control project means a dam or barrier design and constructed to keep water away from or out of a specified area, including but not limited to levees, floodwalls, and channelization.

Flood elevation determination means a determination by the administrator of the water surface elevations of the base flood, that is, the flood level that has a one-percent or greater chance of occurrence in any given year.

Flood elevation study means an examination, evaluation and determination of flood hazards and, if appropriate, corresponding water surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood-related erosion hazards.

Flood insurance rate map (FIRM) means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community.

Flood insurance study means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the flood insurance rate map, the flood boundary and floodway map, and the water surface elevation of the base flood.

Floodplain and flood prone area means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source. See the definition of Flood.

Floodplain administrator means the individual appointed to administer and enforce the floodplain management regulations.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 19
Printed on Recycled Paper
Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works and floodplain management regulations.

Floodplain management regulations means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations and special purpose ordinances such as floodplain management regulations.

Floodproofing means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures that reduce or eliminate flood damage to real estate or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures, and their contents.

Flood protection system means those physical structural works for which funds have been authorized, appropriated, and expended and which have been constructed specifically to modify flooding in order to reduce the extent of the area within a community subject to a special flood hazard and the extent of the depths of associated flooding. Such a system typically includes hurricane tidal barriers, dams, reservoirs, levees, or dikes. These specialized flood-modifying works are those constructed to conform to sound engineering standards.

Flood-related erosion means the collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as a flash flood or an abnormal tidal surge, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding.

Flood-related erosion area and flood-related erosion-prone area mean a land area adjoining the shore of a lake or other body of water which, due to the composition of the shoreline or bank and high water levels or wind-driven currents, is likely to suffer flood-related erosion damage.

Flood-related erosion area management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood-related erosion damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood-related erosion control works, and floodplain management regulations.

Floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot; also referred to as "regulatory floodway." Floodway encroachment lines means the lines marking the limits of floodways on federal, state, and local floodplain maps.

Floodway fringe means the area of a floodplain on either side of the designated floodway where encroachment may be permitted.

Fraud and victimization, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means that the variance granted must not cause fraud on or victimization of the public. In examining this requirement, the variance board will consider the fact that every newly constructed building adds to government responsibilities and remains a part of the community for 50 to 100 years. Buildings that are permitted to be constructed below the base flood elevation are subject during all those years to increased risk of damage from floods, while future owners of the property and the community as ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 20
Printed on Recycled Paper
a whole are subject to all the costs, inconvenience, danger, and suffering that those increased flood damages bring. In addition, future owners may purchase the property, unaware that it is subject to potential flood damage, and can be insured only at very high flood insurance rates.

Freeboard means a factor of safety usually expressed in feet above a flood level for purposes of floodplain management. Freeboard tends to compensate for the many unknown factors that could contribute to flood heights greater than the height calculated for a selected size flood and floodway conditions, such as wave action, bridge openings, and the hydrological effect of urbanization of the watershed.

Functionally dependent use means a use that cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. The term includes only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and shipbuilding and ship repair facilities, but does not include long term storage or related manufacturing facilities.

Hardship, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means the hardship that would result from a failure to grant the requested variance. The variance board requires that the variance be exceptional, unusual, and peculiar to the property involved. Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional. Inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of one's neighbors likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as exceptional hardships. All of these problems can be resolved through other means, without granting a variance. This is so even if the alternative means are more expensive or complicated than building with a variance, or if they require the property owner to put the parcel to a different use than originally intended, or to build elsewhere.

Highest adjacent grade means the highest natural elevation of the ground surface prior to construction next to the proposed walls of a structure.

Historic structure means any structure that is:
(1) Listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the Department of the Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National Register; (2) Certified or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as contributing to the historical significance of a registered historic district or a district registered historic district;
(3) Individually listed on a state inventory of historic places in states with historic preservation programs which have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior; or (4) Individually listed on a local inventory of historic places in communities with historic preservation programs that have been certified either:
a. By an approved state program as determined by the Secretary of the Interior; or b. By the Secretary of the Interior directly in states with approved programs.

Landfill means a permitted location for the disposal, placement or dumping of garbage, trash, debris, junk, or waste material.

Letter of map change (LOMC) means an official determination issued by FEMA that amends or revises an effective flood insurance rate map or flood insurance study. Letters of map ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 21
Printed on Recycled Paper
change include: (1) listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places (a listing maintained by the Department of Interior) or preliminarily determined by the Secretary of the Interior as meeting the requirements for individual listing on the National Register; (2) letter of map revision (LOMR): A revision based on technical data that may show changes to flood zones, flood elevations, special flood hazard area boundaries and floodway delineations, and other planimetric features; (3) letter of map revision based on fill (LOMR-F): A determination that a structure or parcel of land has been elevated by fill above the base flood elevation and is, therefore, no longer located within the special flood hazard area. In order to qualify for this determination, the fill must have been permitted and placed in accordance with the community's floodplain management regulations; and (4) conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR): A formal review and comment as to whether a proposed flood protection project or other project complies with the minimum NFIP requirements for such projects with respect to delineation of special flood hazard areas. A CLOMR does not revise the effective flood insurance rate map or flood insurance study; upon submission and approval of certified as-built documentation, a letter of map revision may be issued by FEMA to revise the effective FIRM.

Levee means a manmade structure, usually an earthen embankment, designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control, or divert the flow of water so as to provide protection from temporary flooding.

Levee system means a flood protection system that consists of a levee and associated structures, such as closure and drainage devices, which are constructed and operated in accordance with sound engineering practices.

Lowest floor means the lowest floor of any lowest enclosed area, including basement. An unfinished or flood-resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable nonelevation design requirements of this chapter.

Manufactured home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which is built on a permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include a recreational vehicle.

Manufactured home park or subdivision means a parcel or contiguous parcels of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.

Map means the flood hazard boundary map (FHBM) or the flood insurance rate map (FIRM) for a community, issued by the Flood Insurance Administration of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Market Value means the price at which a property will change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither party being under compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. As used in these regulations, the term refers to the market value of buildings and structures, excluding the land and other improvements on the parcel. Market value may be established by one of the following methods: (1) actual cash value (replacement cost depreciated for age and quality of construction); (2) tax assessment value adjusted to approximate market value by a factor provided by the property appraiser; or (3) a qualified independent appraiser.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 22
Printed on Recycled Paper
Mean sea level means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community's flood insurance rate map are referenced.

Minimum necessary, related to sections 42-23—42-25, means the minimum necessary to afford relief to the applicant of a variance with a minimum deviation from the requirements of this chapter. For variances to an elevation requirement, this means the variance board need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, for example, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only that level the board believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local ordinance.

Mudslide (i.e., mudflow) describes a condition where there is a river, flow or inundation of liquid mud down a hillside usually as a result of a dual condition of loss of brush cover, and the subsequent accumulation of water on the ground preceded by a period of unusually heavy or sustained rain.

Mudslide-prone area (i.e., mudflow-prone) means an area with land surfaces and slopes of unconsolidated material where the history, geology, and climate indicate a potential for mudflow.

New construction means structures for which the start of construction commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by a community and includes any subsequent improvements to such structures.

New manufactured home park or subdivision means a manufactured home park or subdivision for which the construction of facilities for servicing the lots on which the manufactured homes are to be affixed, including, at a minimum, the installation of utilities, the construction of streets, and either final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, is completed on or after the effective date of floodplain management regulations adopted by a community.

Obstruction includes but is not limited to any dam, wall, wharf, embankment, levee, dike, pile, abutment, protection, excavation, channelization, bridge, conduit, culvert, building, wire, fence, rock, gravel, refuse, fill, structure, vegetation or other material in, along, across or projecting into any watercourse which may alter, impede, retard or change the direction and/or velocity of the flow of water, or, due to its location, its propensity to snare or collect debris carried by the flow of water or its likelihood of being carried downstream.

One-hundred year flood means a flood which has a one-percent annual probability of being equaled or exceeded. It is identical to the "base flood," which will be the term used throughout this chapter.

Principal structure means a structure used for the principal use of the property as distinguished from an accessory use.

Public safety and nuisances, related to sections 42-23 through 42-25, mean the granting of a variance must not result in additional threats to public safety or create nuisances. This chapter is intended to help protect the health, safety, well-being, and property of the local citizens. This is a long-range community effort made up of a combination of approaches such as adequate drainage systems, warning and evacuation plans, and keeping new property above the flood levels. These long term goals can only be met if exceptions to the requirements of this chapter are kept to a bare minimum.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 23
Printed on Recycled Paper
Recreational vehicle means a vehicle that is:
(1) Built on a single chassis;
(2) Four hundred square feet or fewer when measured at the largest horizontal projection; (3) Designed to be self-propelled or permanently towable by a light-duty truck; and (4) Designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use.

Regulatory floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than a designated height.

Riverine means relating to, formed by, or resembling a river, including tributaries; stream; brook; etc.

Sheet flow area. See Area of shallow flooding.

Special flood hazard area (SFHA) means an area having special flood or flood-related erosion hazards, and shown on the FIRM as zone A, AE, AO, A1—A30, AE, A99, or AH.

Start of construction includes substantial improvement and other proposed new development and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days from the date of the permit. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation, or the placement of a manufactured home on a foundation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. For a substantial improvement, the actual start of construction means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building.

Structure means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home.

Substantial damage means damage of any origin sustained by a structure whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.

Substantial improvement means any reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, alteration, addition, or other improvement of a building or a proposed new development of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the start of construction of the improvement. This term includes cumulative improvements that have been permitted on the structure within a five year period; successive improvements will be summed and utilized as a cumulative cost of improvements when assessing if the improvement equals or exceeds the 50 percent threshold. This term includes structures that have incurred substantial damage, regardless of the actual repair work performed or source of the damage. The term does not, however, include either:

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page 24
Printed on Recycled Paper
(1) Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations or state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to ensure safe living conditions; or
(2) Any alteration of a historic structure, provided that the alteration will not preclude the structure's continued designation as a historic structure.

Utility Equipment includes any apparatus, appliance, or accessory installed as part of a building or structure. This includes equipment related to building services, such as plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilating, air conditioning, ductwork, refrigerating, and fire protection. It also includes elevators, dumb waiters, escalators, boilers, and pressure vessels.

BJECT: On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services – Project GS 2024 13 Award of Contract
Summary and Recommendation
On September 17, 2024, the General Services Department circulated a Request for Proposals (RFP) for On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services. One proposal was received and evaluated based on criteria specified in the RFP and R3 Consulting Group, Inc. was selected as the preferred consultant for the On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services.

Sta
ff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with R3 Consulting Group, Inc. for On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective
This item aligns with the Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Objective to “Maintain and Enhance Fiscal Stability” and “Enhance Community Vibrancy and Engagement”.

Fiscal Impact
The total contract cost over the initial three-year term, as well as the two optional one-year extensions, is $305,000. However, the consultant will be paid on actual services rendered, which will vary throughout the term of the agreement. The on-call services will be funded with a combination of Solid Waste funds and CalRecycle grant funds. Consultant costs related to the residential procurement process will be reimbursed by the successful proposer.

The initial contract term will be for three years with the option of two one-year extensions.

Printed on Recycled Paper
Background and Analysis
The City has a need for ongoing professional consulting services to support waste management functions, particularly related to California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy (SB 1383) and other unfunded mandates. In addition, the City will be initiating a formal procurement process in 2025 for the residential garbage and recycling collection services franchise agreement, with the intent of utilizing the consultant team to assist the City throughout the approximately 18-month process.

Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), passed in 2016, is an extensive unfunded state mandate with a host of requirements on organic waste generators, haulers, edible food recovery stakeholders, and municipalities. SB 1383 mandates significant reductions in organic waste disposal and sets statewide requirements for organic waste diversion. This includes a 75% reduction in statewide landfilling of organic waste by 2025 and a 20% increase in edible food recovery by 2025. SB 1383 requirements have a significant impact on most local jurisdictions throughout the state, and requires additional staff resources to administer waste management programs.

To ensure compliance with SB 1383, the City must implement specific programs related to organic waste collection, diversion, food recovery, education, recovered organic waste procurement, and enforcement. Some key requirements for local jurisdictions under SB 1383 are as follows:

1. Implement and maintain organic waste collection programs for residents and businesses

2. Ensure food recovery programs are in place to recover edible food for redistribution

3. Educate residents and businesses on the importance of organic waste diversion and proper waste disposal

4. Enforce compliance with regulations through inspections and penalties

5. Track and report on program progress and diversion metrics

Due to the complexity and scale of SB 1383 and other regulatory requirements, professional consulting services are proposed to augment current staff expertise and resources. The City has incorporated requirements within its commercial and residential franchise agreements to share the burden of meeting the extensive State regulatory requirements. In addition, some components of the City’s overall waste management functions are supported by staff in other departments throughout the City. However, the bulk of waste management responsibilities are allocated to a portion of one full-time equivalent (FTE) management level staff person and a portion of one FTE administrative staff person in the General Services Department. The utilization of consultant expertise on an as-needed basis is recommended to address the gap in staff resources.

The scope of services the consultant will be able to assist with includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Regulatory Guidance and Program Implementation:
o Review SB 1383 requirements and provide guidance on compliance and assistance with program implementation
o Assist with annual review, update and implementation of recycled organic waste procurement strategies

Agenda Packet Page 33
Subject: On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services – Project GS 2024 13 – Award of Contract Date: January 8, 2025

Printed on Recycled Paper
o Assist with review and implementation of City’s recycled-content paper and paper product procurement program, documentation and reporting o Assist with commercial and residential customer and franchisee contract review, administration and updates as needed
o Assist with audits and annual reporting

• Edible Food Recovery:
o Assist with edible food recovery capacity assessment, monitoring and assistance o Education and Outreach
o Assist with required participation in the County-wide food recovery networks and partnerships
o Expansion of food recovery capacity infrastructure

• Public Education and Outreach:
o Assist with development and deployment of educational materials and campaigns for residents, businesses, and schools
o Ongoing assistance with outreach and education plan updates, implementation and evaluation related to organic waste diversion and food recovery programs

• Training and Capacity Building:
o Assist with development and implementation of staff training on SB 1383 requirements and enforcement protocols
o Assist with resource development to support businesses in complying with SB 1383 and other state recycling mandates

• Monitoring, Compliance, Record-Keeping, Reporting and Enforcement:
o Assist with compliance monitoring and enforcement
o Conduct commercial education and inspections
o Conduct inspections for Tier 1 and Tier 2 Edible Food Generators o Prepare documentation for City compliance record-keeping o Assist with education, outreach and enforcement as required by SB 1383 o Assist with enforcement monitoring and reporting to CalRecycle

In addition to SB 1383 compliance assistance, on-call services may be utilized to assist with the procurement process for the residential solid waste and recycling collection services franchise agreement. This process includes development of the Request for Proposals (RFP), support during the RFP process, assistance with contract development and negotiations, and potentially transition support if a new hauler is selected and/or new programs are implemented.

On September 17, 2024, staff released an RFP for On-Call Solid Waste Consulting Services.

Proposals were due October 17, 2024, and one proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. was received. After reviewing the proposal in accordance with the criteria described in the RFP, including compensation schedule, financial stability, experience, and qualifications, staff recommends entering into a multi-year on-call contract with R3 Consulting Group for Solid Waste Consulting Services.

peers nationwide. Attending this conference gives participants valuable insights and tools that benefit Citrus Heights neighborhoods. At the October 9, 2024 City Council meeting, staff presented an initial draft of the Neighborhoods USA (NUSA) Conference Attendance Policy to the City Council for feedback. City Council expressed interest in a process where REACH takes the lead by nominating attendees, ensuring the selection is driven by the community and its leadership. Councilmembers also emphasized the imp ortance of facilitating a rotation among Neighborhood Areas with preference given to new attendees , allowing for broader engagement and ensuring that the benefits of attending the NUSA Conference are equitably distributed across the city. Additionally, they highlighted the need for the nomination and approval process to be completed early enough to take advantage of the conference’s early bird registration pricing, reducing overall program costs and maximizing funding efficiency.

During public comment, REACH representatives hoped a nomination process would encourage attendance, sharing that it’s been difficult in the past to get interest and/or commitment for attendance. They also echoed the importance of rotating among neighborhood leaders to ensure that all Neighborhood Areas have opportunities to benefit from the information and education provided by the conference.

This collaborative feedback from City Council and REACH representatives has informed the revised policy, ensuring it reflects both the Council’s priorities and REACH’s vision for empowering neighborhood leaders. The draft guidelines were shared with REACH, and President Natalee Price expressed full support on behalf of the organization. Following the approval of the guidelines, REACH will sign an agreement (Attachment 2) affirming its commitment to administering the nomination process in accordance with the approved guidelines.

Key Policy Elements include:

• Eligibility Criteria: Nominees must be REACH -nominated leaders with at least six months of active service in a leadership role. Priority is given to those who have not previously attended the conference.
• Funding: Up to $5,000 is available annually to support attendance, typically covering costs for two participants.
• Approval Process: REACH submits applications, and the Quality -of-Life Committee reviews and recommends funding decisions to the City Council. • Accountability: Awardees must provide a report to the City Council within 90 days of the conference and submit an expense report with supporting documentation.

The policy ensures transparency and equity in the grant process while fostering leadership development and community engagement.

BJECT: Multi-Modal Impact Fee Addendum
Summary and Recommendation
On J
une 23, 2022, the City Council adopted a variety of updates to longstanding Impact Fees.

Impact Fees are fees assessed on new development to help mitigate the impact new development imposes on the city. Prior to the 2022 update, most of the City’s impact fees predated incorporation.

On A
pril 12, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) delivered a highly anticipated opinion known as Sheetz v. County of El Dorado related to Impact Fees. This opinion clarified that Impact Fees charged by local government must be roughly proportional to the impact a development may create.

As
part of the 2022 City Impact Fee update, the Multi-Modal Impact Fee was updated which established very broad categories of land use types. This broad brushed approach does not comply with the guidance provided by SCOTUS, related to specificity required for projects to affirm rough proportionality to the impact.

As
a result of Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, staff recommends adopting an addendum to the Multi-Modal Impact Fee Nexus Study. This addendum would ensure compliance with the Sheetz case as new impact fees are levied on new development.

Page 2 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

This staff report aligns with the following Citrus Heights City Council Strategic Plan Goals:

• Maintain and Enhance Fiscal Stability
• Maintain Public Infrastructure and Enhance all Modes of Transportation

Fiscal Impact

Revenue from Impact Fees varies based on timing and type of new development that will occur in the City. While Impact fees do not fully offset the impact of new development on the city’s infrastructure, they serve as an important funding source for grant matches for City projects and help contribute towards capital investments.

Absent the proposed Multi-Modal Impact Fee addendum, impact fees may not adhere to the Sheetz case and could jeopardize impact fee revenues associated with new development.

Background and Analysis

Development Impact Fees Overview
Development Impact Fees (DIF) are one-time fees paid by new development to fund the cost of providing municipal facilities to serve that development. This authorization exists through the enactment of California Government Code sections 66001 through 66025 (also known as the “Mitigation Fee Act” and sometimes referred to as “AB1600”).

The Mitigation Fee Act is premised on the concept that new development pays its own way; that new development must mitigate its own impacts on the system. The Mitigation Fee Act requires a rational nexus and rough proportionality between the type and scale of development and the fee imposed. This is what makes a DIF a “fee” and not a tax; DIF cannot be used for general purposes, such as maintenance.

This process includes making a determination that there is a reasonable relationship between the purpose of the fee, the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. In order for DIF to be legally enforceable, a community must conduct an analysis that identifies anticipated growth that is related to infrastructure costs and apportion those costs to project development.

This is distributed by type of development, square foot, dwelling unit, or per trip basis with the intent that this impact fee type distribution equitably mitigates the impact of development on City resources, amenities and infrastructure.

On April 12, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) delivered a highly anticipated opinion known as Sheetz v. County of El Dorado related to Impact Fees. This opinion clarified that Impact Fees charged by local government must be roughly proportional to the impact a development may create.

Subject: Multi-Modal Impact Fee Addendum
Date: January 8, 2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

As part of the 2022 City Impact Fee update, the Multi-Modal Impact Fee was updated which established very broad categories of land use types. This broad brushed approach does not comply with the guidance provided by SCOTUS, related to specificity required for projects to affirm rough proportionality to the impact.

Proposed Addendum
In June 2022, the City Council adopted the Multi-Modal Impact Fee Update. The update relied on very broad brushed land-use categories that can be insufficient for levying fees based on the Sheetz case.

In order to enable a degree of specificity called for under the Sheetz case, the proposed addendum requires a site-specific analysis of impact fees to ensure a rough proportionality to the impact generated by the impact. This analysis will be required for projects that are unique and do not align with broad brush land use categories contained within the existing Multi-Modal Impact Fee. The addendum will require site-specific analysis at the discretion of the General Services Director for the following conditions:

• Uses that require a Traffic Analysis under the City’s Transportation Impact Study Guidelines
• Uses that are unique in nature that do not align with the three land use categories contained in the nexus study. For example, uses such as movie theaters, gas stations, churches, and similar have different impacts on the City’s roadway network and a purely square footage-based impact fee would not comply with the Sheetz case. • Uses that create atypical vehicle miles traveled (VMT) or uses that may be inconsistent with the underlying assumptions of the Nexus Study.

For projects meeting the above conditions, this addendum to the Nexus Study allows for calculating Multi-Modal Impact Fees utilizing site-specific estimated VMT, utilizing the most current applicable Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation data, and applying costs per square foot, based on existing or similar use types identified in the approved Multi-Modal Impact Fee schedule.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

CITRUS HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN ADDENDUM

TO THE MULTI-MODAL IMPACT FEE NEXUS STUDY

WHEREAS, the City assesses Development Impact Fees on new development to help mitigate impacts imposed on the city attributed to new development;

WHEREAS, in 2022, the City Council adopted an updated Multi-Modal Fee Nexus Study, which evaluated the city’s existing and future land use projections as well as estimated impacts and demands on the city’s public infrastructure network;

WHEREAS, in April 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered an opinion known as Sheetz v. County of El Dorado related to impact fees, clarifying that local impact fees must be roughly proportional to the impacts a development may create;

WHEREAS, in reviewing the City’s approved 2022 Multi-Modal Fee Nexus Study and the limited land use categories, the impact fee schedule does not account for unique projects that require site-specific analysis, including traffic, that create atypical vehicle miles traveled or uses that may not align with the existing land use categories; and

WHEREAS, to ensure equitable and proportional assessment of impact fees on nuanced development projects and to meet the objectives of Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, an amendment to the Multi-Modal Impact Fee Nexus is recommended.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED that the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights does hereby adopt an addendum to the Multi-Modal Impact Fee to read as follows:

The Multi-Modal Impact Fee was developed to ensure an “essential nexus” to the City’s land use interest as called for under Nollan v. California Coastal Commission and ensure a “rough proportionality” of development’s impact on the land-use interest as called for under Dolan v.

City of Tigard.

• Uses that require a Traffic Analysis under the City’s Transportation Impact Study Guidelines.
• Uses that are unique in nature that do not align with the three land use categories contained in the nexus study. For example, uses such as movie theaters, gas stations, churches, and similar have different impacts on the City’s roadway network and a purely square footage- based impact fee would not comply with the Sheetz case.

• Uses that create atypical vehicle miles traveled (VMT) or uses that may be inconsistent with the underlying assumptions of the Nexus Study.

In order to ensure rough proportionality, a site-specific Multi-Modal Impact Fee assessment shall be required as determined by the General Services Director if any of the following conditions are met:
• Uses that require a Traffic Analysis under the City’s Transportation Impact Study Guidelines
• Uses that are unique in nature that do not align with the three land use categories contained in the nexus study. For example, uses such as movie theaters, gas stations, churches, and similar have different impacts on the City’s roadway network and a purely square footage-based impact fee would not comply with the Sheetz case. • Uses that create atypical vehicle miles traveled (VMT) or uses that may be inconsistent with the underlying assumptions of the Nexus Study.

For projects meeting the above conditions, this addendum allows for calculating Multi-Modal Impacts Fees utilizing site-specific estimated VMT’s, utilizing the most current applicable ITE Trip Generation data, and applying costs per square foot, based on existing or similar use types identified in the approved Impact Fee schedule.

BJECT: Citrus Heights Police Department Animal Services Unit, Service Enhancement Update
Summary and Recommendation
On A
ugust 14, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a five-year agreement with the Bradshaw Animal Shelter (BAS) in Sacramento County effective September 1, 2024. Contracting with BAS has resulted in furthering the City’s goal of providing enhanced animal services to the community. The staff recommendation is to receive a staff presentation providing an update to the City Council in response to Council and community interest related to service enhancements with the Animal Services Unit associated with microchipping, local sheltering, reunification of lost pets, and the implementation or expansion of a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for feral cats.

Th
is is an informational report and no action is associated with this item.

On O
ctober 31, 2024, the City of Citrus Heights acquired two adjacent properties located at 7555 and 7569 Old Auburn Road for potential use in the enhancement of animal services in response to City Council and community feedback. The acquisition of this property was beyond the scope of what was envisioned in the adopted City Council strategic objective at the March 2024 planning retreat. During the acquisition planning process, staff also identified alternative fiscally prudent uses for the properties should the City Council decide not to pursue their use for enhancing animal services. This opportunistic community investment has the potential to greatly enhance the service delivery of the Animal Services Unit and is consistent with advancing the goals of operational efficiency and standards of excellence in service delivery set by the City Manager.

The
overall Old Auburn Road site contains two independent buildings with grounds and a parking lot on approximately 1.75 acres. This strategic investment supports efforts to improve local animal service delivery, including exploring expanded microchipping programs, evaluating ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 65
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: January 8, 2025

Page 2 of 7 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
the feasibility of increased local reunification options for lost pets, and advancing other animal services initiatives even beyond the recent enhancements provided for through the BAS contract.

By securing this property as a first step, the City can potentially control future costs, improve efficiencies, and provide residents with high-quality, locally managed services. While this is not a subject of this report, the City Manager is actively working with the executive team on recommendations and options for the City Council to consider at their upcoming Strategic Planning Retreat which will be held on March 26, 2025.

The focus of this staff report is an update on the animal service enhancements that have been made since the March 28, 2024 Strategic Planning Retreat consistent with the City Council adopted strategic objective defined in the next section of this report.

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

Objective: In response to community feedback, research and present animal services enhancements to the City Council for service delivery including enhanced microchipping, feasibility of increased local sheltering, reunification options of lost pets, and a Trap Neuter Release program.

Fiscal Impact

There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

Background and Analysis

In response to community concerns regarding stray animals, the need for improved reunification efforts, and the management of feral cat populations, staff considered public comment by citizens, consulted outside organizations for industry best practices, and reviewed the current Animal Services Unit processes and deployment model. Following the establishment of a service agreement with BAS, the Citrus Heights community and its Animal Services Unit quickly began to reap the rewards of this collaboration.

Key benefits included:
• Access to a local Sacramento County Animal Shelter
• 24-hour customer service center with dispatch services through the Sacramento County 311 Call Center
• 311 Connect, online citizen reporting modules via APP or Online Portal • On-site pet hospital at BAS, with two veterinarians providing coverage 7 days a week provides one-stop transport for injured animals
• Chameleon access and use of the specialized animal management software ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 66
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: January 8, 2025

Page 3 of 7 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
• Faster animal intake processing at BAS provides field officers valuable time to respond to calls in the Citrus Heights community
• Access to donated animal food pantry for those citizens in need • Affordable spay and neuter clinic next door to the BAS

Chameleon is comprehensive integrated software that helps with all activities including shelter management, licensing, field operations, kennel intake and outcome, lost and found pet reunifications, and has robust capabilities in support of local pet reunification, which parallels our community vision of reuniting chipped and licensed pets with their owners rather than transporting them to BAS.

Since contracting with BAS, the Animal Services Unit has transitioned from utilizing the police department’s dispatch center and records management systems (CAD RMS) to the Sacramento County 311 Call Center and Chameleon. This has proven to be a benefit and an enhancement for not only our communications staff, but also for our community who can now report animal concerns to the Sacramento County 311 Call Center, using the 311 Connect app, or by using links located on our City and Police Department websites.

The feedback from our community regarding 311 has been largely positive, with many residents reporting favorable interactions with the County 311 Call Center, the 311 Connect App, and online reporting options. Nonetheless, a number of community members have also noted that they have experienced longer than desired wait times when calling the County 311 Call Center.

To mitigate this concern, the County has increased staffing within the County 311 Call Center and has adjusted their deployment model to help reduce extended wait times. For the most efficient reporting options, Citrus Heights residents are encouraged to download the easy to use 311 Connect Mobile App to report animal related concerns from their personal cell phone devices or by creating a personal online account to report animal related concerns online, through the 311 online portal. Either option provides Citrus Heights residents with a solution to bypass calling 311 for those residents wishing to report concerns more expediently. Setting up a personalized 311 online account also provides residents with another quick and efficient way to file a report. The online system immediately provides a reference number for the report, allows the citizens to see status updates for their reported animal concern and keeps a history of the residents’ prior reports. The 311 Connect Mobile App or the 311 Online account is the most efficient way for Citrus Heights residents to report animal related concerns.

Reuniting Lost Pets with Their Owners

Reunification of lost pets significantly increases when pets are microchipped, and pet owner information is kept up to date. Citizens are encouraged to report lost or found animals directly online through either the Citrus Heights or Bradshaw websites, via 24Petconnect: Lost, Found,
and Adoptable Animals. Pet descriptions, photos and the microchip numbers of lost pets assist the shelter with reuniting pets with their owners. Citizens who have lost a pet can also view ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 67
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: January 8, 2025

Page 4 of 7 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
photos online of all animals at the shelter to help locate their lost pet. The online system is updated hourly.

Enhanced Microchipping Program

The Citrus Heights Animal Services Unit offers free microchipping for Citrus Heights residents by appointment. The Animal Services Officers also provide education and direction on how to properly license pets in support of reuniting lost pets with their owners, to prevent being transported to BAS.

To further enhance reunification efforts, the Citrus Heights Animal Services Unit, in partnership with BAS, hosted a free “Chip, Chip, Hooray” microchipping event held at the annual Howl-o- ween Harvest Festival. The free microchips were generously donated by veterinarian, Citrus Heights Mayor, Dr. Jayna Karpinski-Costa.

Microchipping has proven to be an effective way to reunite pets with their owners. Most local veterinarians will check for a microchip if someone finds a lost or stray pet. In Citrus Heights, our Animal Services Officers conduct field checks to determine if captured animals are chipped, and whenever possible, they are returned to their homes before being taken to BAS. Animals that are transported to BAS are also scanned for microchips upon intake and are chipped before they leave the facility per California State Law.

The Animal Services Unit is committed to hosting free microchipping and pet ID events quarterly throughout the year. With an increased focus on microchipping efforts to support prompt reunification, staff will research and determine the feasibility to implement a mandatory microchipping ordinance for all pets in the city and report back to Council with a recommendation in FY25/26.

Limited Local Sheltering Options

BAS is one of the largest animal shelters in Northern California. The shelter serves as a safety net for stray pets, and provides shelter and services for abandoned, mistreated, homeless, sick, injured and orphaned animals from the community, including farm animals, exotic animals and native wildlife. The partnership with the BAS has proven to be a valuable local resource for sheltering animals for our Animal Services Unit and our community. This collaboration has ensured that sheltered animals receive essential care, including food, water, and veterinary services. Additionally, our partnership with BAS provides access to foster programs, adoption opportunities, low-cost vaccination clinics, and various initiatives aimed at supporting animal welfare. Focusing on proper identification of pets helps to keep animals out of the shelter.

Limiting the animal intake to the local shelter is a primary and fundamental focus of our Animal Services Unit.

Vaccination Clinics

Citrus Heights residents are encouraged to participate in vaccination services offered by BAS.

Information about how to secure appointments, find programs available, or to find vaccination ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 68

Printed on Recycled Paper
events and locations can easily be found on the BAS website under Services. Resident will find information on the following programs offered:
• VIP Onsite Pet Care Clinic – Residents can enter their Citrus Heights zip code to find upcoming low cost vaccination locations in Citrus Heights. • BAAT Clinics – The Shelters’s BAAT Veterinary Outreach Clinic provides health and wellness services. BAAT clinic dates for spring 2025 will be announced by BAS in the near future. .
• New, Bradshaw Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic – Brand new program underway, hosted monthly by the BAS team. Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic dates for spring 2025 will be announced by BAS in the near future.
• Free PAWS Mobile – Pet Aid and Wellness Services Mobile Clinic is a full- service, on wheels outreach veterinary clinic dedicated solely to pets of unhoused pet owners coming to Citrus Heights by spring 2025.

Concerns About the Growing Feral Cat Population

Feral and/or community cat are the terms used to describe unowned cats that freely roam throughout the community. These cats can quickly overpopulate an area leading to unsanitary conditions, negative impacts to native wildlife, and community complaints. It is crucial to spay and neuter all cats, as unaltered females can become pregnant annually and produce multiple litters. Over their lifetimes, a single female cat can give birth to hundreds of kittens, and if those kittens are not spayed or neutered, the cat population can quickly escalate. While feral kittens can be adopted if they are socialized at an early age, those that are not handled in time will remain feral and thus become unadoptable. To help combat cat overpopulation, the Citrus Heights Animal Services Unit partnered with our previous animal shelter vendor to offer 40 spay/neuter appointments in collaboration with the FieldHaven Feline Center. In addition, our community members have access to low-cost and/or free spay and neutering services through the Community Spay and Neuter Clinic (CSN), located next door to the Bradshaw Animal Shelter.

Furthermore, the Animal Services Unit has conducted research into various nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations in the Sacramento area that specialize in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) services to further support this initiative.

Staff conducted a comprehensive analysis with eleven animal services agencies to evaluate TNR service models within the region. This analysis found that Citrus Heights provides comparable services to those of Auburn, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Rancho Cordova, Rocklin, Roseville, Sacramento City, Sacramento County, West Sacramento, and Woodland. Moreover, it was found that like Citrus Heights Animal Services, most of these agencies lack a dedicated TNR Program.

The primary challenges highlighted were insufficient funding, limited infrastructure, and insufficient staffing and veterinary services needed for such initiatives.

The analysis found that Rancho Cordova Animal Services does offer an outsourced solution for TNR services through a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization supported by city tax measures that passed in 2014 and 2020 respectively. These measures have assisted with funding Rancho Cordova’s Community Enhancement and Investment Fund.

ITEM 15
Agenda Packet Page 69
Subject: Animal Care Services Agreement with the County of Sacramento Date: January 8, 2025

Printed on Recycled Paper

Additionally, staff reached out to twelve local veterinarians in Citrus Heights to explore potential partnerships for TNR services. Discussions with these veterinarians revealed a willingness and interest in collaborating to support a TNR program, although their availability of services might be restricted.

Overall, staff identified the main challenges lie in securing adequate funding and addressing the shortage of veterinarians, which limits the ability to fully develop these partnerships.

Staff encourage our residents to collaborate with established nonprofit organizations that specialize in TNR efforts. These committed organizations, which primarily rely on fundraising events, donations, and grant funding, make a significant impact and are experiencing success thanks to the generous contributions and active involvement of the community. The Coalition for Community Cats, FieldHaven Feline Center, Auburn Spay and Neuter, Whisker Warriors, Be Kind TNR, and Animal Outreach of the Motherlode are a few examples of regional non-profit organizations that focus on community cats.

Increased Operational Effectiveness

The Animal Services Unit received exceptional support during the launch of our partnership with BAS, which has assisted with enhancing the services we provide to the community. From the initial call to the Sacramento County 311 Call Center, through the intake process at BAS, our staff has experienced a well-organized and dedicated service model. This efficiency has allowed our officers to return to the field promptly to better serve our community. This new partnership is proving to be mutually beneficial, allowing our animal services team to have an increased emphasis on:

• Local pet reunification efforts
• Educating the community about responsible pet ownership, licensing, and micro-chipping requirements
• Education and community engagement efforts to reduce overpopulation (TNR) • Community education efforts surrounding pet wellness to prevent behavioral problems • Preserve and enhance public safety

Staff continues to collaborate with BAS to enhance City services by arranging more opportunities for the community to participate in various large-scale programs, which are also available to residents in the County. This partnership also aimed to address operational staffing challenges, manage animal intake at the shelter to lower annual costs, and simultaneously expand the range of services available to our community. Since BAS became our dedicated shelter and service provider in September, the Animal Services Unit has implemented the following:

• Access to a local Sacramento County Animal Shelter
