Background and Analysis
The City of Citrus Heights owns and maintains various creeks, canals and ditches throughout the City. The Arcade Creek Repairs – Mel Court Project (Project) is located within a City owned parcel where years of erosion had damaged concrete lined slopes resulting in a destabilized bank at a bend along Arcade Creek, near Mel Court and Sayonara Drive.

Background and Analysis

Fireworks Ordinance

At the June 24, 2021, Citrus Heights City Council meeting, council voted to adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 2021-001, related to the regulation and enforcement of fireworks in Citrus Heights. The urgency ordinance created social host language for those allowing the use of illegal fireworks at their residence. In June 2022, the City Council voted to permanently adopt the language from the urgency ordinance into the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (CHMC) via Ordinance 2022-004.

On April 29, 2025, voted to amend the social host ordinance to include street and/or sidewalk adjacent to hosts property and increase the penalties for those found responsible for illegal fireworks violations.

After additional review of the CHMC fireworks ordinance and in effort to remain consistent with our regional partners, the following are recommendations for amendments to the Citrus Heights Municipal Code Chapter 38; grammatical and verbiage changes have also been made to these sections but do not alter the intent of the sections.

Sec.38-69. - Exception for sale of safe and sane fireworks

Changed the hours for dates and times for legal fireworks sales. • Current date/time: From 12:00 p.m. on June 28 to 11:00 p.m. on July 5 • Proposed date/time: beginning 12:00 p.m. on June 28 and ending at 9:00 p.m. on July 4 of the same year. Specific hours for sale between these dates are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Sec. 38-81. - Penalty for violation

• Section (c) added a $5,000 per device fine for third and subsequent offenses within one year of second violation
• Section (d) remove section. Information is duplicative with section “c” • Section (g) previously referred to these violations as misdemeanors, changes made to reflect the correct violation type as an infraction and that persons will be issued an administrative citation or notice of violation.
• Section (h) stated that the parents of the juvenile and the juvenile were liable for the response costs; the update removes the juvenile’s responsibility for financial costs ITEM 9

associated with response, as juveniles are not typically responsible for the financial burden which is left to the parents.
• Section (j) new ordinance allows for City to utilize a designated payment collector • Section (n) stated that persons in violation of the chapter would have no less than $750 for violations, the minimum amount of a violation is $1,000, therefore this section was updated to reflect that.
• Sections (p) and (q) are currently duplicates and section (q) will be removed.

Shopping Cart Ordinance:

On November 10, 2022, the Citrus Heights City Council adopted Ordinance number 2022-012, related to the regulations and enforcement of shopping carts in Citrus Heights. In November 2022 the City Council voted to permanently adopt the language of this ordinance into the Citrus Heights Municipal Code (CHMC).

Shopping carts constitute a nuisance within the community by promoting blight within the city’s residential and commercial areas. The Citrus Heights Police Department uses this section as an enforcement measure focusing on the beautification and quality of life within the community.

Staff recommends amending CHMC Sec. 50-905 to clarify that mere possession of a shopping cart, without written consent of the business owner, is a violation and does not require an officer prove the cart was removed from the business.

Recommended changes are:

Title Update: Sec. 50-905 – Unauthorized removal and/or possession of a shopping cart.

Without the prior written consent of the owner, it is unlawful for any person to remove, or cause to be removed, or be in the possession any shopping cart which is the property of the business establishment furnishing such carts for its customers’ use, from the parking lot or other premises of said business establishment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS AMENDING CITRUS HEIGHTS MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 38 – FIRE PREVENTION AND PROTECTION, ARTICLE III. – FIREWORKS, SECTIONS 38-69 AND 38-81

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

The provisions of Chapter 38, Article III. of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code

SECTION 1. Amendment. Section 38-69 of the Citrus Heights Code is hereby amended to read as set forth below:

Sec 38-69 – Exception for safe and sane fireworks.

It shall not be unlawful to possess, sell within the city those fireworks as are defined and cl
assified as "safe and sane fireworks" in Health and Safety Code § 12500 et seq., during that time period beginning 12:00 p.m. on June 28 and ending at 9:00 p.m. on July 4 of the same year.

Specific hours for sale between these dates are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

It shall not be unlawful to use or discharge safe and sane fireworks during either of the fol
lowing time periods:
1) Between the hours of noon and 11:00 p.m. on June 28, or 2) Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. from June 29 through July 5 of the same year.

SECTION 2. Amendment. Section 38-81 of the Citrus Heights Code is hereby amended to read as set forth below:

Sec. 38-81. - Penalty for violation.

(a) Any person who allows, permits, aids, or abets any discharge of fireworks (including a public display) without having first obtained a permit therefore from the Fire Marshal, or designee, shall be in violation of this section, unless otherwise permitted by ordinance.
(b) Any person who stores fireworks, including those classified as "safe and sane" by the California State Fire Marshal, except as expressly allowed by this Code, shall be in violation of this section.
(c) Administrative Citation. Upon identification of an unpermitted discharge or illegal storage of fireworks, law enforcement may issue an administrative citation or a notice of violation to all responsible person(s) present at the unpermitted discharge of fireworks or to a host as defined by Section 38-67 who is found in violation of this section. Law enforcement shall notify persons, found responsible for unpermitted discharge or illegal storage that further violation of the ordinance may result in the issuance of increased subsequent fines and assessment of response costs as outlined in section 38-67. Each device (firework) possessed, ignited, exploded, discharged, used, or displayed constitutes a violation of the ordinance and therefore is subject to an administrative fine:

ITEM 9
Agenda Packet Page #21
Printed on Recycled Paper

1. One thousand dollars ($1,000.00) fine, for each device

2. Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) fine for each device on subsequent offenses within one year from the date of the administrative citation or notice of violation.

3. Five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) fine for third and subsequent offenses within one year from the date of the administrative citation or notice of second violation.

(d) Nothing in this chapter shall be intended to limit any of the penalties provided for under the California Health and Safety Code or Penal Code with regard to the sale, use, possession, delivery, storage, and/or transportation of dangerous fireworks. (e) The penalties set forth herein are intended to be nonexclusive and are intended to be in addition to any other remedies provided in this chapter or any other law, statute, ordinance or regulation.
(f) Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of an infraction and shall receive an administrative citation or notice of violation. (g) Response Costs. A responsible person(s) who has been issued a subsequent administrative citation and/or written notice of violation of this ordinance may be liable for response costs incurred in responding to the unpermitted discharge or illegal storage of fireworks. All responsible persons shall be jointly and severally liable for the response costs incurred in the response and all subsequent responses. The amount of response costs constitutes a debt owed to the city.

If a responsible person is a juvenile, then their parents or guardians will be jointly and severally liable for the response costs incurred pursuant to this chapter. To incur liability for response costs imposed by this chapter, the person responsible for the unpermitted discharge or illegal storage of fireworks need not be present at the event that causes the response giving rise to the imposition of response costs. This chapter therefore imposes vicarious as well as direct liability upon responsible persons. (h) Notice of the response costs shall be served by first-class mail to the persons liable for such costs. The notice shall contain the following information:

1. The name of the person who i s liable for the response costs;

2. The address of the private property where the incident occurred;

3. The date and time of the response;

4. The law enforcement, fire, or other emergency response personnel who responded; and

5. An itemized list of the response costs.
(i) Payment for response costs shall be remitted to the city of Citrus Heights, or designated payment collector, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the notice.

The payment of any such costs shall be stayed upon the filing of a timely appeal. (k) A person charged with response costs may, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the notice of response costs, appeal the response costs. The appeal hearing shall be scheduled and conducted in the manner prescribed in this chapter. (l) Failure to timely file an appeal constitutes a failure to exhaust available ad
ministrative remedies and bars any further review or administrative appeal of the response costs.

ITEM 9
Agenda Packet Page #22
Printed on Recycled Paper
(1) Violations of this chapter are hereby declared to be a public nuisance. (n) Any person who violates a provision of this chapter is liable for civil penalties of not less than $1,000 or more than $25,000 for each day the violation continues. (m) All remedies prescribed under this chapter are cumulative and the election of one or more remedies does not bar the city from the pursuit of any other remedy to enforce this chapter.
(n) Any recipient of an administrative citation or notice of violation m ay appeal the
citation by completing and submitting the approved review form to the city within thirty (30) days from the date of the administrative citation or notice of violation. If the violation is upheld after review, the recipient may request a formal administrative hearing with an advance deposit of the fine.

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 thirty (30) days after its adoption, 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.

Fiscal Impact

Approval of this request would allocate $25,000 from the Economic Development & Community Engagement grant funds for FY 2025–26.

Background and Analysis

For more than a decade, the City of Citrus Heights has partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to highlight the City’s business-friendly approach and expand opportunities for engagement. This annual sponsorship provides consistent visibility for the City, reinforces the Chamber as a trusted partner, and brings meaningful benefits to both local businesses and residents.

The Chamber’s request aligns closely with the intent of the Economic Development Support Fund and the City’s broader economic development objectives, including those detailed in the Economic Development Work Plan 2025-2027.

Through the Diamond Sponsorship, the City maintains a consistent and visible presence across key Chamber activities. This year-round recognition reinforces Citrus Heights as a business- friendly community and underscores the City’s commitment to being a proactive partner in strengthening local commerce and building connections with the business community.

By supporting event rentals at the Citrus Heights Event Center, the City helps ensure that significant business and community gatherings take place within our own civic core. Keeping these events local not only affirms the Event Center’s role as a hub for activity but also contributes to a stronger sense of place and brings added visibility and economic activity to surrounding commercial areas.

The City’s sponsorship of Leadership Citrus Heights supports the cultivation of the next generation of civic and business leaders. This investment ties the City directly into the program cycle, demonstrating Citrus Heights’ commitment to workforce development and the long-term leadership capacity that fuels a vibrant local economy. In addition to cultivating civic leadership, the Leadership Citrus Heights program also advances the City’s Economic Development Work Plan (EDWP) goals for Small Business Support & Innovation. While specific participants will vary from year to year, the program’s focus is on engaging small business owners, entrepreneurs, and individuals who support the small business ecosystem. By providing access to leadership development, business resources, and stronger community networks, the program reinforces the City’s commitment to equipping local businesses with the tools to grow and adapt. This investment advances the EDWP goal of preserving and expanding the number of local establishments, strengthening Citrus Heights’ economic resilience, and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship that drive local spending and community pride.

Together, these three components reflect a balanced investment in visibility, place-making, and leadership development. Each element advances the goals of the Fund by promoting Citrus Heights, fostering community and business engagement, and reinforcing the City’s competitiveness as a destination where commerce and community thrive.

BJECT: Field Haven Feline Center Proposed Lease Agreement for 7555 Old Auburn Road
Su
mmary and Recommendation
On O
ctober 31, 2024, the City of Citrus Heights acquired two adjacent properties —7555 and 7569 Old Auburn Road to support future animal services expansion. Separate from the City’s planned use of 7569 Old Auburn Road for local animal services, the adjacent property at 7555 Old Auburn Road is not currently needed for near-term operations. However, maintaining City ownership of the site is a prudent investment for potential future municipal needs.

The
refore, staff recommends leasing 7555 Old Auburn Road for interim use. A proposal has been submitted by Field Haven Feline Center, a nonprofit animal welfare organization, to establish a veterinary services facility at the site. The proposed lease will ensure ongoing use of the property, reduce maintenance burdens, and directly support the City’s Strategic Objective to expand local animal services.

St
aff recommends the City Council adopt the following:

Fiscal Impact

At this time, approval of the recommended lease agreement will have no fiscal impact on the City. The initial lease term will be eighteen months from the commencement date. During the eighteen-month pilot phase, the tenant will pay $1.00 total rent, due within thirty days of the lease commencement date. If the lease continues beyond the pilot phase a positive fiscal impact would occur as the tenant will pay $2,500 per month ($30,000 annually) for a subsequent three- year term, unless terminated by either party at the conclusion of the pilot period. In addition to lease payments, the City will receive 250 spay/neuter vouchers for cats annually to be used and distributed at City discretion.

The lease will provide revenue to help offset property maintenance costs while advancing the City’s animal services delivery goals. There will be some costs incurred by the City to prepare the building for tenant improvements, which will be covered within existing budget allocations.

Background and Analysis

The City of Citrus Heights has long recognized community desire for enhanced local animal services related to concerns about stray animals, lost pet reunification, and the need for improved local sheltering. In response, the City Council adopted a Strategic Objective in April 2024 to explore the feasibility of expanding local shelter and reunification services.

To support this objective, the City entered into a five-year agreement—with cancellation and adjustment provisions—with the Bradshaw Animal Shelter (BAS), effective September 2024.

While the agreement improved service delivery, contract costs increased by 111% in one year, raising concerns about long-term affordability and reliance on external providers.

In light of this, the City began exploring long-term cost control options. One such effort, led by the City Manager, involved identifying a Citrus Heights property that could support temporary animal housing, with the goal of reducing reliance on BAS and improving local animal care and control services.

In October 2024, the City acquired two adjacent properties located at 7555 and 7569 Old Auburn Road to provide flexibility for possible future animal services operations. Following a space and needs assessment, staff determined that 7569 Old Auburn Road should be reserved for potential future municipal use. The building at 7555 Old Auburn Road is not needed for near-term City operations; however, staff identified that leasing the facility on an interim basis would ensure its active use, reduce maintenance burdens, and potentially expand local animal service offerings.

A nonprofit animal services provider has expressed interest in establishing a Citrus Heights location and submitted a proposal to lease 7555 Old Auburn Road. This lease agreement will improve animal welfare through affordable, high quality veterinary care. The lease agreement between the City and Field Haven Feline Center would commence at a date to be determined once the agreed upon tenant improvements are complete which will likely be in Q2 2026.

Potential support services include:

• Spay and neuter surgeries
• Vaccinations
• Microchipping
• Life saving procedures for community and owned cats and dogs (e.g., amputations, enucleations, pyometra treatment)
• Basic veterinary support for animals in the City’s care at City’s discretion This partnership would expand access to affordable animal care for Citrus Heights residents, support community-based animal welfare programs, and complement the City’s long-term strategy to reduce sheltering costs through enhanced local service delivery. Field Haven will not provide general wellness or emergency veterinary services which are commonly provided through commercial veterinary operations. Information about Field Haven Feline Center can be found at www.fieldhaven.com. Field Haven will also be making a presentation to the City Council about their services and planned activities for the Citrus Heights property at the City Council meeting.

Outreach

City staff were contacted by some in the local veterinary community who had questions and expressed some concerns about potential competition with their established businesses. Staff listened to the concerns and worked with Field Haven to put terms in the lease that limited the scope of services to avoid competition with core commercial veterinarian services. Field Haven is a non-profit organization who specializes in providing care for animals that would otherwise not receive care with their core mission focused on spay/neutering of feral cats. The intent of leasing the building to Field Haven is to augment local animal care services and have a use next door to the future City animal services center that will be complimentary to the future operation.

As the City moves forward with the future animal services center, opportunities for partnerships that promote/support local commercial veterinarian providers will be explored.

The 18-month pilot program allows for an opportunity to examine how Field Haven’s operations augment the animal care services provided to the community. Field Haven has been clear that they wish to be a supportive feature within the Citrus Heights animal care community and have no intent of competing with the for-profit veterinarians as the nature of their work addresses animals that would otherwise be unlikely to receive care. For people that show up for services that are not provided by Field Haven, they will have a list of Citrus Heights veterinarian clinics and pet hospitals onsite for referral. At the end of the 18-month pilot period, if it is determined that lease needs further refinement relative to service provisions subject to both parties agreeing, that could happen if needed or it could be canceled altogether by either party at the conclusion of the pilot program term. Field Haven had provided assurance that they welcome developing relationships with local veterinarians and wish to be a complimentary community partner.

Attachment 3 is a copy of a letter that was sent to all veterinarian businesses in Citrus Heights notifying them of the proposed lease and inviting them to reach out to staff and/or Field Haven with questions. Comments received since the letter was sent regarding the proposed Field Haven ITEM 11(a)

TO: Whom It May Concern

FROM: Phillip Zimmerman, Front Street Animal/City of Sacramento Animal Care Services Manager

RE: Field Haven Feline Center Reference

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to provide a reference for the Field Haven Feline Center, which has been a valued partner of the City of Sacramento Front Street Animal Shelter for many years, transferring hundreds of kittens from our shelter. Field Haven Feline Center provides invaluable services to the Sacramento region’s feline community.

The Field Haven Feline Center provides direct support to community care-holders who care deeply about our feline animals in the Sacramento region. They provide education, veterinary assistance and most importantly affordable spay and neuter services. With the current veterinarian shortage and lack of affordable spay and neuter services available to residents in the Sacramento region, Field Haven Feline Center has been a lifesaving partner to our region. Due to the sheer volume of requests all of our organizations receive for spay and neuter services, the more organizations providing this service will not only increase the lifesaving in our region, but reduce the number of felines producing unwanted litters of kittens.

Having worked with Field Haven Feline Center for many years, I can attest they are a well-respected organization not only in the Sacramento region, but across the entire state.

Should you require further information, feel free to reach out to me directly at 916-808-8333 or via email at [email protected].

Best,

Phillip Zimmerman

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my strong support for Fieldhaven, an outstanding provider of low-cost spay and neuter services to cats in our community. As a veterinarian who has spent many years in shelter medicine, I have seen firsthand the critical impact that accessible sterilization programs have on controlling feline populations, improving cat health in the community, improving public health, and reducing the burden on local shelters.

By offering affordable and accessible spay/neuter options, Fieldhaven addresses a critical gap in care that would otherwise leave many cats without essential preventive services. This outreach directly improves animal health and welfare in communities that have traditionally been overlooked or underserved by standard veterinary care.

Importantly, these low-cost services are designed to complement, not compete with, the work of practicing veterinarians. By reducing the number of unwanted litters and stray cats, these programs lessen shelter intake and help limit emergency cases related to unsterilized or feral populations. This allows local veterinary practices to devote more attention to providing excellent care to their clients, including wellness exams, diagnostics, and treatment.

Improving overall feline health across the community also supports and strengthens the community’s desire and capacity to provide ongoing veterinary care through existing networks.

When cats are healthier and populations better served, pet owners are more likely to engage proactively with local veterinarians for preventive care and treatment, thereby fostering sustainable, long-term relationships within the veterinary community. Programs like those offered by Fieldhaven create a foundation of healthier animals, which ultimately encourages pet owners to seek care and increases the use of local veterinary services.

Supporting Fieldhaven means supporting not only the health and wellbeing of cats in need but also reinforcing the entire community’s commitment to accessible, quality veterinary care. I wholeheartedly endorse their mission and encourage ongoing investment in these vital services.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express my strong support for FieldHaven Feline Center’s proposal to operate a spay and neuter clinic in Citrus Heights. As a veterinarian at UC Davis and a member of the Accessible Veterinary Care Program, I have seen firsthand the critical need for affordable, accessible spay/neuter services in this region.

Accessible spay and neuter programs are vital for the health of our community’s pets and for reducing the number of homeless animals entering local shelters. By providing low-cost, community-centered services, FieldHaven’s clinic will:
• Prevent pet overpopulation by reducing unintended litters, thereby easing the strain on city and county shelter systems.
• Improve animal health and welfare through procedures that help prevent reproductive cancers, infections, and other conditions.
• Support families in need who may otherwise be unable to access or afford essential veterinary care.
• Strengthen community partnerships by collaborating with local organizations, ensuring a sustainable and compassionate approach to animal welfare.

FieldHaven has an outstanding track record in animal care, community outreach, and innovative programs that make veterinary services accessible to all families, regardless of income. Establishing a dedicated spay/neuter clinic will build upon this foundation and provide measurable benefits to both animals and people in our community.

I urge the City of Citrus Heights to recognize the importance of this initiative and to fully support FieldHaven’s efforts. An accessible spay and neuter clinic is not just a veterinary service—it is a public health and community resource.

Thank you for your consideration.

August 21, 2025

To Whom It May Concern,
As a local 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization serving Citrus Heights and surrounding areas, we are writing to express our strong support for the establishment of a community spay and neuter clinic in our area.

A lack of accessible and affordable spay and neuter services is contributing to pet overpopulation and straining shelter resources. This shortage is exacerbated by a national veterinarian shortage, impacting both public and private shelters. Every day in our work, we see the impact of pet overpopulation firsthand. Despite our rescue efforts, the need for affordable, accessible spay and neuter far outweighs what is currently available. A dedicated community clinic will provide an essential resource to address this issue at its root: ensuring more animals are sterilized, fewer unwanted litters are born, and community cat populations are managed.

We also commend FieldHaven’s plan to provide low-cost microchipping and core vaccinations for animals. These preventive services are critical to public health and animal welfare. Vaccinations protect against deadly but preventable diseases, and microchipping greatly increases the chance of lost pets being reunited with their families. Both measures will reduce the intake pressure on local shelters and rescues like ours, allowing us to focus our limited resources on animals most in need.

We view this clinic not as a replacement for private veterinary practices, but as a vital partner to the rescue and sheltering community. By making spay and neuter services more affordable and accessible, the clinic will create a healthier, more humane community for both animals and people.

For these reasons, we wholeheartedly endorse the creation of this spay and neuter clinic in Citrus Heights. We look forward to supporting its mission and collaborating to make sustainable progress in reducing pet overpopulation.

To Whom It May Concern,
As a resident of Citrus Heights and a lifelong animal lover, I am writing to express my strong support for the development of a low-cost spay and neuter clinic, as well as a microchip and vaccine clinic, in our community.

Our neighborhoods are home to many pets and also to countless feral and stray cats.

Unfortunately, access to affordable veterinary care has become increasingly difficult for many families, and without options for low-cost sterilization, vaccinations, and microchipping, both pets and community animals suffer.

I have personally seen the challenges neighbors face when they cannot afford these essential services. Too often, this leads to unwanted litters of kittens or puppies, preventable diseases spreading among pets, or beloved animals being lost with no way to ﬁnd their way home.

A local clinic dedicated to providing affordable spay and neuter surgeries will not only reduce pet overpopulation but also improve the quality of life for animals and people alike.

Offering low-cost vaccines will keep our pets healthier and protect public health, while microchipping will ensure more families are reunited with their lost companions instead of seeing them end up in crowded shelters. The euthanasia rate is astounding in the United States today.

This clinic would be a tremendous resource for the Citrus Heights community.

It represents compassion, responsibility, and a proactive approach to solving problems that affect us all. As a community member, I would gladly use and support this clinic, and I know many of my neighbors feel the same.

Thank you for considering this important project. I am conﬁdent it will make a lasting, positive difference for animals and families in Citrus Heights.

BJECT: On-Call Architectural Engineering Services 2025 - Award of Contract Summary and Recommendation
Pe
riodically, the City desires architectural engineering (A&E) services to assist with private redevelopment opportunities to support the community’s goals of economic development.

Additionally, the City owns and maintains several public facing buildings, which on occasion require modifications to support operations and public interface. Such modifications often necessitate the support of A&E to help develop plans and specifications to deliver construction improvements.

On M
arch 17, 2025, the City circulated a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Four consultant teams submitted Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) by the April 17, 2025, deadline. The City’s review team evaluated the SOQs and selected two firms to interview. Upon completion of the interview process, RMW Architecture & Interiors (RMW) was selected as the most qualified firm to provide the requested on-call professional architectural engineering services.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following:
1) Resolution No. 2025-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with RMW Architecture & Interiors for On-Call Architectural Engineering Services 2025.

Printed on Recycled Paper
Fiscal Impact
At this time, approval of the recommended agreement will have no fiscal impact on the City. The initial contract term will be three years with two one-year options to extend the contract for a total contract term not to exceed five years. The total contract value for the initial three-year period is not to exceed $500,000. Subsequent one-year extensions, if agreed to, shall not exceed $100,000 per year. However, the actual costs for A&E services will vary based on volume of task orders, complexity of projects, and may be paid on time and materials basis, or fee based as determined by the work.

As services are required from the consultant, staff will request a cost proposal from the consultant for the specific services needed and will execute a Task Order for tracking. All fees, time and materials costs associated with each contract shall be funded with already approved budgets and funding sources. For task orders to support private development projects, funding will come from private sources, or in some cases, Economic Development grant funds as determined appropriate by the City Manager or Economic Development & Community Engagement Director.

Background and Analysis
Occasionally, the City identifies a need for architectural engineering services to support both public and private improvement efforts. For private endeavors, such improvements may include consultations on façade, patio enhancements or other private commercial tenant space layouts in support of economic revitalization. For public works projects, services needed are to inform design and construction steps to modify existing city-owned buildings to improve organizational operations and services to the community.

In October 2024, the City acquired two buildings on Old Auburn Road to support the City’s Animal Services program. The City’s intent is to occupy one of the buildings for animal services staff along with allowing for short-term holds of animals before transporting to Sacramento County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter. The second building is being considered for third-party animal care services, in which the non-profit organization will lease the building from the City.

The general planned use of these two buildings further helped define the City’s needs specified in the RFQ, along with helping to guide the review teams evaluation process.

In March 2025, the City circulated an RFQ for On-Call Architectural Engineering Services, highlighting the following areas of support needed:
• Interior and exterior building redesign
• Repair/reconstruction/modifications
• Building retrofits and modifications to support animal holding and sheltering services • Planning and design of ADA accessible facilities
• Electrical, plumbing and mechanical engineering
• Plans, specifications and estimates for building renovations/reconstruction • Structural inspections and material testing of existing buildings • Seismic assessment of City buildings

• Minor non-structural redesign services for private commercial business uses In response to the RFQ, proposers were invited to submit their qualifications to provide professional architectural engineering services, including their teams of subconsultants for specialized areas of work for various projects and locations though out the City. A total of four SOQ’s were received by the April 17, 2025, due date. Those four SOQ’s were submitted by COAR Design Group, Indigo, RMW, and Ware Malcomb. The City uses a “Qualifications Based Selection” process to determine the firm(s) with whom to contract. The muti-step selection process began with this RFQ, followed by a review and evaluation of the submitted SOQ’s. Ultimately, the top two consultant teams were selected for interviews, which were held on July 23 and July 24, 2025. Based on the broad list of services requested, as well as the specialized experience needed to develop plans and specifications for the Old Auburn Road Animal Services site, RMW was selected as the preferred consultant team to provide on-call architectural engineering services.

As a priority for these requested services, RMW was tasked with developing a cost proposal for comprehensive design services to support substantial renovations of one of the buildings to be occupied by the City’s Animal Services division. The proposal also includes designing minor modifications to the second building, such as American with Disabilities Act compliant public restroom, finished floors, along with replacement of windows and doors for safety and energy efficiency. Following Council’s approval of this recommended item, staff will immediately execute Task Order No. 1 for the Old Auburn Road site with a goal of initiating construction by Q3 of 2026.

Under this agreement, all Task Orders shall be executed under the authorization of the City Manager or General Services Director.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 27, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
SUBJECT: Communications Utility Provider Presentation – Intrepid Fiber Networks
Summary
The City has been approached by Intrepid Fiber Networks, an open-access broadband fiber company, to install underground and aboveground infrastructure throughout the Citrus Heights community. Intrepid is a licensed telecommunications provider in California, authorized under the Public Utilities Commission. This presentation, provided by Intrepid Fiber Networks, is to provide information to the City Council and general public regarding Intrepid’s planned pilot project for Citrus Heights, and subsequent phases for their planned fiber network. Because of their status as a public utility and authorization to construct within Public Utility/Public Service easements, the City cannot regulate where Intrepid installs their equipment within said easements, including on private property. However, Intrepid would be required to adhere to the City’s encroachment requirements, including public notifications, hours of operations, and restoration of property.

This is for information only with an opportunity for questions and feedback.
