PUBLIC COMMENT

Larisa Babchanik shared some concerns regarding the proposed trail extension between Mariposa and Sylvan and the impact on her neighborhood. Trails can easily become informal encampment sites which raises safety and sanitation concerns. This trail creates a highway for homeless to travel between the shopping area behind Walmart and her neighborhood. She urged the City Council to protect our nature corridor and invest instead in maintaining paths, updating playgrounds and parks, and creating more gated areas for dogs.

Kris Stoddard spoke regarding the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail. He expressed concerns regarding the future development from Sylvan to Mariposa that would run right through the middle of his backyard and some of his neighbors’ backyards.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council review the information presented and provide direction to staff on whether to proceed with implementation of any of the proposed initiatives.

Senior Planner Bermudez reported the City has an opportunity to use Tree Mitigation Funds to make greater improvements for our tree canopy within the City. Currently a portion of the funds are used for the City’s Tree Assistance Program that offers residential property owners access to a certified tree arborist at no charge. The City has served over 300 property owners with this program and saved about 500 trees. Staff evaluated potential initiatives utilizing Tree Mitigation Funds. She presented the following concepts for Council consideration:

1. “New Growth” Tree Giveaway Program to residents

2. Urban Forest Photo Contest where the City would solicit submissions from residents

Following Council discussion and feedback staff would develop those programs and come back with a funding plan and a timeline.

Printed on Recycled Paper
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation and provide direction related to procurement options for a new residential waste collection and recycling contract for the term beginning on January 1, 2028.

Operations Manager Poole reported the contract with Republic Services expires on December 31, 2027.

Generally, it’s about 12 months or more to issue a new contract if you go through a procurement. Staff is seeking Council direction on whether or not to proceed with a 60-day negotiation with Republic Services or go directly out to the market with a Request for Proposals. If a negotiation is selected, that could still result in an RFP if the parties are unable to come to an agreement on the terms. Staff is also seeking input on elements to consider as part of this process whether or not it’s an RFP or negotiation. She provided a brief overview of the state legislative mandates related to solid waste. She also provided an overview of the history of the City’s residential waste collection and recycling services and well as the current agreement.

City Council questions followed.

The City Council took a brief recess from 8:19 p.m. to 8:27 p.m.

Public Comment

Tim Reiber with Green Waste Recovery, LLC stated they would be an interested participant in the RFP process. Providing essential services is key to a sustainable and vibrant community such as Citrus Heights. He stated it is in the City’s best interest to see what other options are out there. They would appreciate the opportunity to participate in the RFP.

He also thanked the community members who have spoke on their behalf. He respectfully asked the City Council to enter in the 60-day negotiation period and if we don’t come to an agreement the result is a better RFP for the City to release.

Taylor Brown a resident stated our City’s service and infrastructure need fresh competition and more options to drive improvement. She said the City Council can take a step towards introducing competition, promoting efficiency, and encouraging innovation by opening up an RFP to interested companies that qualify to provide a service.

City Clerk Van read the following written comments submitted by Susan Powers, “Republic Services is a wonderful company that gives back to the community. I have to say, their team that collects our items on a weekly basis have put the smile on the children in my neighborhood and taken the burden of bringing down and taking back up cans for my elderly neighbor. If they are late, I always receive a text and an update when they are on their way. I have never experienced service like this with other companies. I encourage the City to continue using Republic as our provider for waiste services [sic].”

City Clerk Van read the following written comments submitted by Natalee Price, “I want to begin by acknowledging that Republic Services has been an excellent partner to Citrus Heights. Their reliability, community involvement, and responsiveness are truly appreciated. However, good service alone does not replace the City’s responsibility to ensure fiscal accountability, transparency, and best-value contracting. When a single provider has held the same contract since 2006, renewing without open competition creates the appearance of institutional complacency, and risks overlooking better pricing, updated service models, or innovative technologies that other qualified haulers may offer. A competitive Request for Proposals is not an indictment of Republic — it is standard best practice for public agencies.

It protects taxpayer dollars, validates decision-making, and ensures that all community priorities, including highly requested services such as street sweeping, are thoroughly evaluated across multiple bidders. Open bidding also gives the public confidence that whichever provider is chosen — Republic or another — has earned the contract based on merit, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with community needs. Additionally, forcing heavy electric fleets onto deteriorated city roads without examining alternatives could be financially and structurally irresponsible. Competitive proposals allow us to compare CNG, hybrid, and electric options and avoid unintended consequences. For a contract of this magnitude, after nearly two decades without competition, not conducting an RFP would be a failure of due diligence and a disservice to residents. I urge the City Council to direct staff to proceed with a full, open competitive bidding process for the 2028 residential garbage and recycling agreement.” ITEM 5

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM

DATE: December 10, 2025

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager

FROM: Casey Kempenaar, Community Development Director
Steffane Lui, Associate Planner

SUBJECT: Submission of Application for Tree City USA Designation

Summary and Recommendation

Staff is requesting authorization to submit an application to the National Arbor Day Foundation for consideration of the City of Citrus Heights to be designated as a Tree City USA community for the eighth consecutive year.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-___, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, authorizing the submission of an application to the National Arbor Day Foundation for consideration of Citrus Heights being designated a Tree City USA community.

Fiscal Impact

Selection as a Tree City USA community is based, in part, on the annual expenditure for tree- related programs and services within a community (e.g. tree care and management, plantings, labor costs). Tree-related expenditures will exceed $804,594 in 2025. This represents expenditures from both the City and Sunrise Recreation and Park District (SRPD) for community forestry expenditures such as tree maintenance, tree planting, and staffing costs. The City’s tree- related expenditures were in excess of $700,000, while the SRPD expenditures are more than $165,000. If the Tree City USA designation is awarded, no additional funding will be required beyond the installation of the foundation’s provided “Tree City USA” signage and the planting/planning of an annual Arbor Day event.

Background and Analysis
The City of Citrus Heights maintains approximately 22,000 trees along public streets and roadways and Sunrise Recreation and Park District maintains more than 5,500 trees within its parks. The City’s tree composition includes over 175 unique species with Valley Oak being the most prevalent species. Both the City and the park district work hard to protect the community’s urban forest, and staff would like to ensure these efforts continue and are recognized.

Printed on Recycled Paper

If awarded, this will be the eighth consecutive year the City has been recognized as a Tree City USA. The City first received the recognition in 2018 and annual recertification is required.

To qualify for Tree City USA designation, the City must meet four standards established by the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters. These standards were established to ensure that every qualifying community would have a viable tree management plan and ongoing program. Below is a list of the four required standards and a recap of how the City has met the standard:

1) Observance of an annual Arbor Day – A tree planting event and an Arbor Day Recognition was held at a community event on October 11, 2025. 2) Expenditures of at least $2.00 per capita on tree-related programs – Both the City’s budget and Sunrise Recreation and Park District’s budget were reviewed and a total which exceeds $804,000 in tree related expenditures are budgeted. This exceeds the minimum standard of $2 per capita by more than $7 with a per capita expenditure of $9.33.
3) A Street Tree Ordinance – The City manages its public tree canopy through a Street Tree Ordinance which was adopted in 2018.
4) A Tree Department – The City’s General Services Department serves this role.

A designation of the City of Citrus Heights to be a Tree City USA community will:

• Encourage better care of our urban forest;
• Touch the lives of people within the community who benefit daily from cleaner air, shadier streets, and aesthetic beauty that healthy, well-managed urban forests provide; • Increase public awareness of the many social, economic and environmental benefits an urban forest provides;
• Provide education to improve current urban forestry practices; • Help present the kind of image that most citizens want to have for the place they live or conduct business;
• Inform visitors, through signage, that here is a community that cares about its environment;
• Provide a way to reach large numbers of people with information about tree care; and • Contribute to our community pride.

Background and Analysis

On August 14, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with VSS International, Inc. for the Project. With all field work completed and accepted by staff, the Project is ready for Final Acceptance.

As part of the City’s ongoing pavement preservation efforts, Sunrise Boulevard from Madison Avenue to Greenback Lane was prioritized for an expedited resurfacing project. This particular stretch of roadway serves as one of the City’s key retail corridors, supporting a significant volume of traffic to and through the Citrus Heights community. This Project’s primary goal was to address recurring pavement failures, as well as enhance pedestrian and vehicle safety. The Project constructed the following improvements:

• Full roadway resurfacing along Sunrise Boulevard from Madison Avenue to Greenback Lane, and along Macy Plaza from Sunrise Boulevard to Birdcage Street • Refreshed decorative crosswalks
• Full lane restriping, and enhanced bicycle markings and legends along Macy Plaza Drive

Fiscal Impact

The project has no negative impacts on the City's General Fund and should the renewal of the City's Prohousing designation be granted, the City becomes eligible to receive various grant funds including the Pro-housing Incentive (PIP) of up to $990,000 which could be used on a variety of activities related housing and community development.

Increasingly, state funded grant programs award points for grant applications from local governments with the Prohousing designation. As grant funding becomes more competitive, having this designation can be a determining factor between a successful grant application or a near miss.

Background

Prohousing Desigantion
The State of California's 2019-2020 Budget Act provided for the creation of a statewide Prohousing Designation Program. On July 1, 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the Prohousing Designation Program pursuant to California Government Code §65589.9.

The Program creates incentives for cities and counties that are compliant with Housing Element requirements and can demonstrate that they have enacted Prohousing Policies in four categories:

Favorable Zoning and Land Use, Acceleration of Housing Production Timeframes, Reduction of Construction and Development Costs, and Providing Financial Subsidies.

Citrus Heights was among the first seven jurisdictions in California to receive a Prohousing Designation in December 2022. This designation is set to expire at the end of 2025. Staff is recommending reapplication to maintain the designation, which provides several key benefits:

• Enhanced competitiveness for State grant funding: The designation provides additional points on applications for various competitive grants, including those supporting water and sewer infrastructure, transit improvements, congestion reduction, and safety enhancement projects.
• Support for affordable housing development: Developers of affordable housing may receive additional points on grant applications, incentivizing new housing production.

The City’s renewal application is included as Attachment 1 to this staff report. Reapplying allows the City to receive recognition for existing pro-housing programs and policies, ensuring continued competitiveness in securing grant funding for community improvements. No new policies are proposed as part of this application; the program acknowledges the success of the City’s current housing policy efforts, including:

• Interdepartmental and interagency coordination on development projects, • The creation of the permit-ready Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) program, • Integration of housing policies into the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan, • Various other existing City policies supporting housing development.

ITEM 10
Agenda Packet Page #41
Subject: Prohousing Designation Renewal Application
Date: December 10, 2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

To qualify for the Prohousing Designation, jurisdictions must complete an application documenting their policies, publish the draft for a 30-day public review period, inform the public of the availability of the draft application, incorporate any revisions, and adopt a Resolution prior to final submission to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City’s draft renewal application has been available on the City’s website since November 7, 2025 at www.citrusheights.net/phd, with a physical copy also available at the public counter in City Hall.

As of the writing of this report, no public comments have been received. Any comments received will be incorporated into the final application.

Prohousing Incentive Program
In conjunction with the Prohousing Designation Program, HCD launched a second round of Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP) grant funding. These funds are available exclusively to jurisdictions that hold the Prohousing Designation. Under the program guidelines, should the City’s Prohousing Designation be awarded as submitted, Citrus Heights is eligible to receive up to $990,000.

In the first round of PIP funding, the City received a grant award of $960,000 based on its 2022 designation. Those funds were utilized as part of the City’s contribution to the Sayonara Drive Redevelopment Project in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

If awarded in this next round, the funds may be used for a variety of eligible activities, including down payment assistance, housing rehabilitation projects, utility infrastructure improvements, and other related initiatives.

Tonight, staff is requesting two actions:

1. Authorize submission of the City’s application to renew the Prohousing Designation.

2. Authorize staff to submit a Prohousing Incentive Program (PIP) grant application, contingent upon the City receiving the renewed designation.

Environmental Review
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA statute §21065 and CEQA state guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. The Prohousing application meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.

2A All single-family housing,

projects under 10 units
and ADUs are subject to
ministerial review and
approval. As a community
that is 98% built out,
nearly all new housing
opportunities are
redevelopment along
commercial corridors and
infill development along
high-quality transit routes,
consistent with State
Planning Priorities. A
significant portion of the
City’s housing growth is
anticipated within the
Sunrise Tomorrow Specific
Plan which allows up to
2,200 units of housing and
mix of uses. This area,
currently an AFFH low
resource area, will become
a High Resource Area as
a result of the investment
in this site. It is anticipated
that this transition from an
aging mall will have a
spillover effect and
increase demand for
housing along the Sunrise
Corridor. The City recently
adopted a Sunrise
MarketPlace overlay in this
area to restrict uses that
are often incompatible with
housing and similar
sensitive uses along this
High-Quality Transit
Corridor. The intent is to
maximize housing
opportunities along this

2D Projects less than 10 units
are processed at a staff
level and no Public
Hearing is required.

Projects with greater than
10 units require a Design
Review Permit which is
approved by the Planning
Commission. No other
entitlements are required.

Applications can be
approved under 4 months
(Submittal, 30-days to
review, Comments – 30
days to respond to
comments, resubmittal –
30 days to get to Planning
Commission for approval).

The City prides itself on
timeliness for development
review and often only
delays are associated with
non-governmental
constraints (Developer
responsiveness to
comments and/or
associated development
planning/engineering/etc.).

Over the last 20 years, the
City has not “missed” a 30-
day review period as
required under the Permit
Streamlining Act. As a
built-out community nearly
all projects are infill or
redevelopment. The City
typically relies on the
CEQA infill exemption to
avoid costs and delays for
infill housing projects. The
City’s plan review process

2F Over the past year, Citrus
Heights has made
significant progress in
expanding its affordable
housing options. A new
108-unit multifamily rental
community for low-income
seniors was recently
completed, and two
additional affordable
housing projects are
currently under
construction. The first is a
partnership with Habitat for
Humanity of Greater
Sacramento to build 26
new single-family homes
that will be sold to income-
qualified families. The
second project involves
converting a former
congregate care facility
into individual living units
serving extremely low-
income and at-risk seniors.

Both projects were
prioritized for expedited
processing and
successfully streamlined
through the City’s plan
review process, reducing
overall review times and
accelerating construction
readiness. This was
achieved using a “master
permit” approach, which
allowed plan review of
each unit type in advance,
enabling faster issuance of
individual building permits
once site work
commenced.

Dur
ing the March 2025 Strategic Planning Meeting, the City Council established an objective for staff to evaluate certain business activities (massage, food trucks and similar) for regulatory comparison between the City and surrounding jurisdictions.

Toni
ght’s discussion will focus on mobile food vending, specifically food trucks. The first quarter of 2026, staff will return with a discussion item related to massage establishments.

St
aff recommends that the City Council review the information presented in this report and accompanying presentation. Following the discussion, staff seeks input and feedback on possible code amendments.

impact uses including Massage Establishments, Vending/Food Trucks, and similar challenges facing the region.

Fiscal Impact

There is no immediate fiscal impact with this discussion item. Similar to restaurants, Food Trucks are required to remit sales tax, consistent with state law. Additional fiscal analysis will be provided as part of any future formal action.

Background
In March 2025, City Council adopted a Strategic Objective to “To maintain consistency with regional and adjacent jurisdictions, present Zoning and Municipal Code updates. Consider regulations for high visibility or high impact uses including Massage Establishments, Vending/Food Trucks, and similar challenges facing the region.” as part of the City’s annual Strategic Planning process.

When this objective was first recommended by staff for City Council consideration, a key driver was the benefit of aligning City regulations with those of Sacramento County and other neighboring jurisdictions, particularly because Sacramento County is responsible for Health Department oversight and associated food-safety regulations. Consistency across agencies supports clear public education for operators, minimizes confusion between City and County requirements, and creates a more seamless environment for enforcement.

As staff has continued evaluating opportunities to advance this strategic objective, mobile food vending and food trucks in particular have emerged as more nuanced than originally anticipated.

While regional consistency remains important, Citrus Heights has experienced evolving on-the- ground dynamics, including compliance challenges, operational concerns, and a range of community feedback from both supporters and adjacent businesses or property owners.

These factors have highlighted a tension between maintaining regulatory alignment with the County and jurisdictions therein while addressing the specific conditions and expectations within Citrus Heights. Accordingly, the following section provides detailed analysis and potential regulatory approaches, and staff is seeking Council feedback on how to move forward with food truck regulations.

Mobile Food Vending – Two Categories

Sidewalk Vendors
There are two distinct types of food vending activities, each governed by different regulations.

The first is Sidewalk Vending, which occurs within the public right-of-way, such as on sidewalks or pedestrian pathways. A Sidewalk Vendor is as an individual who sells food or merchandise from a pushcart, pedal-driven cart, wagon, display, or other nonmotorized conveyance—or directly from their person—on a public sidewalk or similar pedestrian area.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page #95
Subject: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Regional Comparison of Regulations Date: December 10, 2025

Page 3 of 5 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
Effective January 1, 2019, State law (SB 946) established new standards for regulating sidewalk vending within the public right-of-way. The City’s current regulations for sidewalk vendors are consistent with this legislation.

Mobile Food Vendors
Tonight’s discussion focuses on the second category—Mobile Food Vendors—which operate on private property. A Mobile Food Vendor is a person or business that sells, serves, or gives away food from a mobile vending unit parked or located on a private parcel. This definition also includes vendors who operate a mobile unit that visits multiple private sites throughout the day.

Citrus Heights Regulations & Enforcement Actions
Mobile Food Vendors are transient by nature, which can make consistent enforcement challenging. Clear regulations help ensure lawful operations and reduce ongoing enforcement needs.

The City’s current framework was developed to address multiple considerations. Food trucks often serve as entry points for new entrepreneurs to gain business experience, test concepts, and build customer visibility. At the same time, the City routinely receives complaints from brick- and-mortar restaurant owners and business representatives when mobile vendors operate in close proximity to established restaurants, citing concerns about impacts on year-round businesses that maintain fixed facilities and staffing.

Within this context, the City’s existing180-day operational limit is intended to provide food trucks with opportunities for exposure while also attempting to minimize potential impacts on existing brick-and-mortar restaurants.

Below are core elements of existing Mobile Food Truck regulations:
• All locations must provide Property Owner permission to use private property • Vending in a single location for more than two hours a day requires a Temporary Use Permit (TUP)
• TUP authorizes a single location to operate for no more than 180 days within a twelve- month period
• Truck must be approved by Health Department and operator must provide approved Health permits for access to restrooms

Over the past several months, Code Enforcement staff have increased efforts to ensure that mobile food vendors operating within the City are properly permitted. This includes verification that each vendor holds:

• A valid Temporary Use Permit (TUP)
• A City Business License
• Authorization from the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department to sell food.

ITEM 11
Agenda Packet Page #96
Subject: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Regional Comparison of Regulations Date: December 10, 2025

Page 4 of 5 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
These focused enforcement efforts have reduced the number of unpermitted vendors and help ensure that food offered to the public is safe and meets health standards. Currently, four food trucks are operating in the City with valid Temporary Use Permits:

Active Mobile Food Vendors
Tacos El Mirador
7560 Cook Ave Oct 2024 – Dec 2024 Closed, Relocated
6234 Auburn Blvd Oct 2025 – June 2026 Current location
Lonchera Tierra Caliente

7859 Greenback Ln Feb 2025 – Sept 2025 Closed, relocated 7634 Greenback Ln Oct 2025 – June 2026 Current location Chivitos Tacos
7840 Greenback Ln April 2025 – Dec 2025 Permit soon to expire

Looking ahead, a new Food Truck Plaza was approved in 2024 and is expected to open in early 2026 at the northeast corner of Auburn Boulevard and Twin Oaks Avenue (8400 Auburn Boulevard). This privately owned and operated plaza will provide designated spaces for up to 15 food trucks, offering a diverse selection of dining options in one convenient location. Vendors operating within the plaza will not require a TUP, as the overall operation is regulated through an approved Minor Use Permit. The site will feature outdoor seating areas and permanent restrooms, creating a welcoming community gathering space that supports local entrepreneurs and adds vibrancy to the Auburn Boulevard corridor.

Discussion
Citrus Heights’ regulations for mobile food vendors are generally consistent with those of surrounding jurisdictions and, in some cases, may be more stringent. As detailed in Attachment A, the City’s requirements for Temporary Use Permits, health approvals, and operational limits align with neighboring cities, while the verification and enforcement efforts by Code Enforcement ensure compliance and promote public safety.

The City’s current framework for regulating mobile food vendors is fairly consistent with Sacramento County and neighboring jurisdictions. The existing regulations attempt to balance public safety, business interests, and vendor operations.

If the Council is interested in exploring additional regulations, there are several approaches that could address restaurant concerns while still allowing mobile food vendors. Several options are provided below for Council review and consideration. These options will be presented to the City Council for consideration at the Council Meeting.

These options aim to balance enforcement practicality, business flexibility, and public benefit, providing a framework for thoughtful regulation without overly restricting vendor activity. These could help maintain fair competition, reduce potential conflicts, and preserve flexibility for ITEM 11

property owners and event organizers while supporting the City’s broader goals of economic vitality and community gathering.

Potential Approaches

1. Prohibit mobile food vending on private property

2. Limit a mobile food vendor to one TUP per year (180 days) anywhere within the City.

Require a “rest” of former site for any vendor minimum period before it can be used again.

3. Prohibit food trucks within a commercial center that contains a brick-and-mortar restaurant or a commercial kitchen

4. Establish a required buffer between mobile food vendors and brick-and-mortar restaurants or commercial kitchens

5. Allow mobile food vendors to operate only within an approved Food Truck Plaza Outreach

Outreach was conducted to prepare for tonight’s discussion, including notifications to all current food truck operators, emails to brick and mortar restaurant operators, and notice to Sunrise MarketPlace and the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce. If the Council provides direction to pursue regulatory changes, additional engagement with relevant stakeholders will be scheduled as part of formal ordinance development.

Next Steps
Staff requests City Council direction regarding any additional areas of concern and, in particular, whether the options presented should be considered. Feedback received during the Council discussion will be used to inform and guide the next steps.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: December 10, 2025

TO: Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Alex A. Turcotte, Chief of Police

Tiffany Campbell, Police Services Manager

SUBJECT: Animal Licensing & Microchipping
Options for potential amendment to Municipal Code § 8-90

Summary and Recommendation

Pursuant to the City Council strategic planning objectives, this staff report evaluates and provides options to amending Municipal Code § 8-90 Unlicensed Dogs and Cats, as needed, to follow best practices related to mandatory licensing and microchipping for all pets in the City of Citrus Heights, and to report options to the City Council for potential amendment to the current animal license ordinance.

Staff recommends that the City Council review the information presented in this report and accompanying presentation. Following the discussion, staff seeks input and feedback on possible municipal code amendments.

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

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

Goal: Preserve and Enhance Public Safety

Objective: Evaluate amending the Municipal Code as needed to follow best practices related to mandatory licensing and microchipping ordinance for all pets in the City of Citrus Heights and report options to the City Council for consideration.

Fiscal Impact

Licensing
Adoption of any option that waives the first-year license fee would result in a fiscal impact in the current or upcoming fiscal years. Based on prior years, the City issues approximately 600 new ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page #100
Subject: Animal Licensing & Microchipping Options
Date: December 10, 2025

Page 2 of 5 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
licenses annually. Using this figure, the estimated cost of waving the first-year license fee is $9,600 for altered animals ($16 per license) or $21,000 for unaltered animals ($35 per license).

The actual fiscal impact will depend on the number and type of licenses issued under the waiver program.

As part of our contractual agreement, the City receives annual payments from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for licenses purchased by residents. New and renewed animal licenses together make up the City’s total license count. Over the past five years, the City has issued an average of 1,623 total licenses per year. At present, 1,274 active licenses are on record, accounting for 139 cats and 1,135 dogs.

Thus far, in 2025, approximately 600 new pet licenses have been issued. Dogs account for approximately 85 percent of the new licenses, whereas cats represent about 15 percent of new licenses issued.

Microchips
The adoption of the microchip option presented will have no fiscal impact in the current or upcoming fiscal years. The free microchip program is new and began in October 2024. Animal Service Officers staff microchipped 20 animals this past year, and currently maintains an inventory, after a generous donation from Dr. Jayna Karpinksi-Costa, of microchips sufficient to cover approximately five years of projected need at the current issuance rate.

Existing stock is expected to fully cover all microchipping activity, to include any increase that may result from the proposed updates, through FY 2029/2030. No purchase of additional microchips or allocation of funds will be necessary in the near future.

When the current inventory is depleted, or if a selected ordinance option results in significantly higher volumes, staff will identify an appropriate funding source.

Background and Analysis
Staff researched and compared over twenty licensing and microchipping ordinances throughout Sacramento County and surrounding areas and found the Citrus Heights licensing ordinance consistent with best practices in the industry.

California state law (Health and Safety Code § 121690-121695) requires dogs over four months to be vaccinated against rabies. Pet licensing is the primary enforcement mechanism cities use to ensure compliance with this mandate. Licensing serves a secondary purpose in providing pets with an official identification tag linked to their owner’s contact information, helping shelters, law enforcement and animal services with the information needed to reunite lost animals quickly and safely.

The most notable licensing ordinance differences were from the City of Rancho Cordova and the City of Elk Grove, and cities within Placer County only require licenses for dogs, not cats.

ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page #101
Subject: Animal Licensing & Microchipping Options
Date: December 10, 2025

Page 3 of 5 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper

The City of Rancho Cordova offers free licenses, free microchips, and free vaccinations to their community’s pet owners of cats and dogs. Services are made possible through the city’s Community Enhancement & Investment Fund.

The City of Elk Grove has mandatory microchipping written in their license ordinance for all dogs and cats over the age of four months, as a condition for pet license issuance, and offers an annual opt-out fee-based exemption for those pet owners who do not wish to microchip. Their microchipping services include free implantation by appointment only.

The mandatory license and microchip program are administered by appointment through the Elk Grove Animal Shelter. Upon license issuance or renewal, Elk Grove requires the citizen to include the microchip number of the pet being licensed or requires the citizen to include payment for the microchip-exempt fee option. The exempt opt-out fee is currently set at $50.00 per year and billed annually.

Citrus Heights Ordinance § 8-90

The City of Citrus Heights animal license ordinance requires all dogs and cats over four months old to be licensed, provided they have a valid rabies vaccination. Licensing can be done online, by mail, or in person, and requires a completed application, a rabies certificate, and the appropriate fee. Reduced fees are available for altered (spayed or neutered) pets and senior citizens. The current Municipal Code § 8-90 does not mandate microchipping dogs and cats and is as follows:

Municipal Code § 8-90 Unlicensed Dogs and Cats
All persons owning or having custody of a dog or cat over the age of four months of age shall obtain and maintain a valid license and tag for each dog and cat from the Chief of Animal Services. Each applicant for such license shall pay a fee as specified by the City Council and set forth in the fee schedule. Every owner of an unlicensed or untagged dog or cat shall be deemed to be in violation of this Chapter except as otherwise provided herein.

California Animal License Laws and Best Practices

California’s dog licensing and microchipping requirements are established through a combination of state law, local ordinances, and professional standards. Under the California Health and Safety Code, dogs over four months must be licensed and vaccinated against rabies, while Senate Bill 573 requires shelters and rescue groups to ensure animals are microchipped before release. Local governments determine specific licensing procedures and fees, and enforcement varies by jurisdiction. The California Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) sets medical and procedural standards such as proper microchipping techniques ensuring animal welfare and compliance with veterinary regulations. Additionally, the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals) provides training and establishes the best operational practices for ITEM 12

Options for Proceeding Without an Amendment to Municipal Code § 8-90

1. Maintain the current ordinance as is:

Staff will continue offering mandated pet licenses through all service channels, and continue offering free, appointment-based microchipping for Citrus Heights residents in support of lowering shelter intakes and strengthening pet reunification efforts.

Staff will continue outreach to encourage ongoing voucher donations and will distribute donated rabies vaccination vouchers from local veterinary clinics and animal services organizations to help residents meet licensing requirements. Vouchers will be available while supplies last and replenished as new donations are received.

Options for Proceeding with an Amendment(s) to Municipal Code § 8-90

Microchipping Amendment Options

2. Update the ordinance:

ITEM 12
Agenda Packet Page #103
Subject: Animal Licensing & Microchipping Options
Date: December 10, 2025

Page 5 of 5 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
Amend the ordinance to mandate microchipping for all licensed dogs and cats, while allowing a free medical exemption per Food and Agriculture Code §31108.3(b)(1) for dogs certified by a veterinarian as medically unfit, and consider an opt-out fee for pet owners who decline microchipping due to personal beliefs. If option 2 is desired, staff are unable to anticipate how many pet owners would use the microchip services offered by the City. For those who do choose to participate, the current donation is sufficient to serve approximately 1,000 animals. Should additional microchips be required, the cost would be approximately $6.00 per chip.

Licensing Amendment Options

3. First-Year Free Licensing for Puppies Under One Year (With Proof of Rabies Vaccination). To encourage early compliance, the City could offer a one-time, first-year free license for dogs under one year of age. Because initial rabies vaccinations for puppies are valid for only one year, this approach brings new pet owners into the licensing system early and increases the likelihood of full-fee renewals in subsequent years. There are no current reports that track the age of animals to distinguish puppies from adult dogs; therefore, staff cannot accurately predict how many puppies would require a free license.

4. One-Time Free Licensing for Unlicensed Cats and Dogs of All Ages for One Year (With Proof of Rabies Vaccination). To increase overall community compliance, the City could offer a one-time free pet license for one year for any currently unlicensed cat or dog regardless of age. The City would waive the initial license fee upon proof of a valid rabies vaccination, providing a simple path for residents to bring existing pets into compliance and improving community pet identification. Based on prior years, if the City issues approximately 600 new licenses, waving the first-year license fee would result in a revenue reduction of approximately $9,600 for altered animals ($16 per license) or $21,000 for unaltered animals ($35 per license).

Feedback received during Council discussion will be used to inform and guide the next steps.
