City Council comments followed.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Bethany Brown spoke about immigration enforcement. She stated that it must be conducted with the utmost respect for both human dignity and rule of law. She urged the City Council to follow the example set by the Sacramento City Council and vote to affirm its status as a sanctuary city and outline legislative and programmatic support for immigrants and refugees. She also urged the City Council to pass or reaffirm legislation that would ensure community safety and uphold fundamental rights guaranteed in the U.S. and California constitutions. She provided examples of potential legislation and specifically requested that the City update its website to include answers to frequently asked questions regarding immigration and constitutional rights, resources for immigrants, refugees, protesters, and observers, and clear messaging from the Citrus Heights Police Department regarding their role in immigration enforcement.

Thomas Spencer spoke about connectiveness in the community and the value of having open doors with neighbors. He stated that while helping with neighborhood projects, he would often set up a table with City information, considering himself an “ambassador”. It may be more appropriate to use the term “hub” for the City being the center and spokespersons being like the spokes in a wheel; this approach has worked for years to build connection in the community organically.

REGULAR CALENDAR

9. SUBJECT: Homeless and Housing Partnership Model and Senate Bill 802 Discussion STAFF REPORT: C. Kempenaar / N. Piva

City Manager Feeney introduced the item and provided a brief overview of the discussions to date.

Housing and Human Services Program Coordinator Piva introduced Emily Halcon, Director of the Sacramento County Department of Homeless Services and Housing, who provided a presentation outlining the Homeless & Housing System Partnership model, previously presented to the City Council on September 10, 2025 and modified and approved by the Board of Supervisors. The main difference in the updated model is the use of the existing administrative infrastructure of the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board and the revision of board membership to a majority of elected officials and retaining seats for community members. A Joint Powers Authority (JPA) option was discussed, but not favored by the Board of Supervisors. Ms. Halcon reported on next steps and the actions taken by neighboring city jurisdictions.

Program Coordinator Piva reviewed Senate Bill 802, introduced by Senator Angelique Ashby, which proposes the creation of the Sacramento Area Housing and Homeless Agency, also known as SAHHA.

The bill would restructure the Sacramento Housing Redevelopment Agency with the goal of consolidating regional housing and homelessness programs and funding. Under this bill, the SAHHA board would consist of 11 elected officials: three from Sacramento County, three from the City of Sacramento, two from the City of Elk Grove and one each from Citrus Heights, Folsom and Rancho Cordova. The bill was introduced without input from local governments, leading the City of Citrus Heights to formally oppose it based on the City’s core pillars of local control and fiscal responsibility. Regional opposition led to negotiations with city managers for amendments. Senator Ashby then indicated that if all three cities, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, and Rancho Cordova did not withdraw their opposition, local control protections would be removed and all housing funds from all three cities would be redirected to the new SAHHA.

City Council comments and questions followed.

Public Comment

Ayden Jennings inquired about the 29-member composition of the Continuum of Care.

Mary Rose McCoy asked for clarification on the involvement of the Continuum of Care with funding.

Director Halcon responded to these questions and offered to share several PowerPoint presentations on CoCs with the students.

ckground and Analysis
At the September 24, 2025 City Council meeting, staff presented regarding implementation of Assembly Bill 413 (the "Daylighting Law"), which added Section 22500(n)(1)(a) to the California Vehicle Code. Council requested additional research on potential modifications to AB 413, but as a state statute, the bill could not be amended locally.

Assembly Bill (AB) 413, known as the "Daylighting" law, was approved on October 10, 2023, and officially went into effect January 1, 2024. It amends Section 22500 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) prohibiting stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle within 20 feet of the ITEM 7
Agenda Packet Page #19
Subject: Proposed Amendments to Citrus Heights Parking Violation Fine Schedule - AB 413 “Daylighting” Date: February 25, 2026

vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within 15 feet of a crosswalk with a curb extension. This safety measure aims to improve visibility at crosswalks for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers by ensuring vehicles do not obstruct sightlines. Beginning January 1, 2025, local jurisdictions were able to begin taking enforcement action, including warnings or citations, regardless of curb markings or signage.

The purpose of AB 413 is to reduce preventable collisions within residential neighborhoods and school zones. As such, this amendment adds Section 22500(n)(1)(A) to Section 22500 of the CVC and reads as follows:

A person shall not stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle whether attended or unattended, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a peace officer or official traffic control device, in any of the following places:

CVC 22500(n)(1)(A): Within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present.

Sections 94-48 and 94-49 of Chapter 94 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code authorize the City Council—within the limits set by State law—to establish, by resolution, penalties, fines, fees, and related charges for parking and associated violations under both the California Vehicle Code and the Citrus Heights Municipal Code.

In addition, California Vehicle Code Section 40203.5 requires the City Council to adopt a schedule of fines and penalties for parking violations within the City. These fines must be standardized, to the extent feasible, with those of other agencies within the same county.

To ensure consistency, staff contacted other agencies within Sacramento County and found the following:

Agency Fine Amount
Sacramento County Has not added this violation to their Parking Fine Schedule City of Sacramento $25
City of Elk Grove Has not added this violation to their Parking Fine Schedule City of Rancho Cordova $77.50
City of Folsom Has not added this violation to their Parking Fine Schedule City of Galt $43
Since the majority of cities do not impose a charge for this violation, staff recommends the City Council set the fine at $62.50—consistent with the amount currently charged for similar violations on the existing Parking Violation Fine Schedule.

Outreach
As part of the consideration for adopting this section of the California Vehicle Code, the City has developed an outreach flyer to inform residents about the proposed resolution. The law would prohibit parking within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within 15 feet of a crosswalk with a curb extension, regardless of curb markings or signage.

If approved by the City Council, the Police Department plans to distribute the flyers throughout the community, including to local schools, Neighborhood Area Associations, and via social media channels. In addition, the Police Department will implement a 30-day grace period following adoption, during which officers will issue warnings and focus on community education regarding the new regulation. Additionally, following the 30-day grace period and to remain consistent with regional agencies, officers would utilize this section of the California Vehicle Code as predominately a complaint-based enforcement and educational tool.

CALIFORNIA’S DAYLIGHTING LAW –

AND OTHER NO PARKING ZONES
Have you heard about the new "Daylighting" law? Citrus Heights is committed to improving safety for all users . Enforcing the new Assesmbly Bill No. 413 (AB 413), or “Daylighting” law, is one of the many ways the City intends to accomplish this.

AB 413 went into effect on January 1 , 2025 and aims to reduce preventable traffic collisions by increasing pedestrian and bicyclist visibility in intersections. Parked cars can hinder the view for drivers as they approach an intersection or crossswalk, making it more likely for pedestrians and bicyclists to be involved in an incident. AB 413 prevents the parking or stopping of vehicles within a certain distance of crosswalks, with the goal to enhance visibility and increase safety for everyone.

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DAYLIGHTING LAW AND OTHER NO PARKING ZONES? See below for common questions, answers, and tips to learn how to contribute to making our intersections and crosswalks safer for all users!
WHAT IS THE “DAYLIGHTING” LAW?
Daylighting is the concept that safety is improved by removing parked cars next to crosswalks. Assembly Bill 413 prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension (bulb-out) is present. An unmarked crosswalk is deﬁned as the portion of a roadway between the prolongation or connection between sidewalks at roadway intersections.

The goal of the new law is to improve safety of all roadway users by increasing visibility at intersections. By keeping the area next to crosswalks clear of parked vehicle obstructions, people walking, driving or riding near intersections can see each other better.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
 Leave at least 20 feet (the length of one large car) between your car and marked or unmarked crosswalks (as shown in scenario 4, on the diagram to the right).
 At curb extensions, leave at least 15 feet between your car and the beginning of the curb extension (as shown in scenario 3).  Not leaving the required clearance greatly reduces visibility (as shown in scenarios 1 and 2).

Source: (1) San Fernando Daylighting Flyer; (2) Menlo Park Daylighting Law Summary Page FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT “DAYLIGHTING”
WHAT HAPPENS IF I PARK AT A DAYLIGHTING ZONE?
The City may issue a citation for people who park in daylighting zones (whether adjacent to marked or unmarked crosswalks).

WHAT ACTION IS BEING TAKEN BY CITRUS HEIGHTS?
Through the existing Multi Modal Transportation Safety Program (MMTSP) City staff will prioritize intersections and identify modiﬁcations at crosswalks. As part of this effort, staff will evaluate existing marked/unmarked parking spaces to ensure that they are consistent with the new state standard.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MARKED AND UNMARKED CROSSWALK? Marked crosswalks are indicated for pedestrian crossing with white stripes (or yellow when near a school) on the surface of the roadway. Such indications are not present for unmarked crosswalks. Citations can be issued whether a crosswalk is marked or unmarked.

IS DAYLIGHTING EFFECTIVE?
In 2023, the pedestrian fatality rate in California was about 23% higher than the national average (GHSA Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State 2023 Preliminary Data). According to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), daylighting laws can reduce pedestrian crashes up to 30%! ITEM 7

Due to the cost of maintenance of painting red curbs, it is not the practice of the City to paint the curb in front of all ﬁre hydrants red. Per CVC § 22514, no person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle within 15 feet of a ﬁre hydrant. The Police Department and Fire Department can enforce ﬁre hydrant parking violations whether or not the curb is painted red, so please report as noted above.

THERE ARE “NO PARKING” SIGNS INSTALLED ALONG A ROADWAY BUT CAN YOU ALSO INSTALL RED CURB? Due to the cost of maintenance of painting red curbs, it is not the practice of the City to paint the curb where “No Parking” and “No Stopping” signs are installed. If a “No Parking” or “No Stopping” signs are present at the location, the Police Department can enforce parking violations whether or not the curb is painted, so please report as noted above.

I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH VISIBILITY AT A SPECIFIC INTERSECTION. CAN YOU INSTALL RED CURB? Recently, the City adopted the MMTSP which is a comprehensive street safety program that provides an equitable and transparent process to receive, evaluate and prioritize neighborhood traffic safety requests for countermeasures.

Intersection sight distance is one of the features that is evaluated. Please visit our website at http://www.citrusheights.net/945 or call the Citrus Heights General Services Department at (916) 727-4770.

CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

MEMORANDUM

DATE: February 25, 2026

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

FROM: Regina Cave, General Services Director
Mary Poole, Operations Manager

SUBJECT:

Options for Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services Procurement – Results of 60-Day Negotiations

Recommendation
Receive the presentation and provide direction related to procurement options for a new residential solid waste and recycling services collection contract for the term beginning on January 1, 2028. The current agreement expires December 31, 2027.

Staff recommends that the City Council either:

a.) Adopt Resolution No. 2026 – ____, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amended and Restated Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services Agreement with Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC, Subject to Results of a Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Rate Increases; or

b.) Direct staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the residential solid waste and recycling collection services contract.

Staff also seeks direction regarding potential service modifications, including:

• Inclusion of residential street sweeping in the solid waste bill, • Refinements to the Neighborhood Cleanup (NCU) program, and • Addition of a local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop off event

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

This item is in alignment with the following City Council priority:

Goal: “Maintain and Enhance Fiscal Stability and Operational Excellence.” Objective: “Initiate residential garbage and recycling procurement and issue a request for proposals.”

Fi
scal Impact
No new expenditures are proposed as part of this item. Estimated procurement pathway costs are provided in the table below.

Procurement Process Estimated Cost
Negotiations Only $ 50,000
RFP Only $125,000
Negotiations + RFP $175,000
If
an RFP is pursued, procurement costs will be reimbursed by the successful proposer. Republic Services will reimburse the City for up to $50,000 for negotiations costs, if the amended agreement is approved.

Street Sweeping
The current Street Sweeping services contract term expires December 31, 2027. If residential street sweeping is not included in the residential solid waste and recycling services agreement, the City will need to procure these services separately through an RFP. A separate procurement will likely increase costs, which would continue to be borne by special revenue funds.

Re
sidential street sweeping is currently funded through Measure A Maintenance funds, Stormwater Utility fees, and commercial Solid Waste fees. The FY 2025–26 costs are estimated at:
• Residential streets $363,961
• Arterial streets: $212,482
Street Sweeping Estimated Cost
2027 Residential Street Sweeping Current Contractor $ 392,196 2028 Residential Street Sweeping (Republic Services) $ 378,400 Estimated Monthly Cost Per Customer with Republic Services $1.19 In
cluding residential street sweeping services into the solid waste contract would shift these costs to the customer rate structure and allow the special revenue funds to be reprogrammed for use on maintaining and enhancing transportation and stormwater-related infrastructure. Arterial street sweeping would remain funded by special revenues.

Bundl
ing the street sweeping services into the residential solid waste and recycling services agreement will also improve pricing for arterial and on-call sweeping, which would continue to be invoiced separately to the City. Solid waste collection results in street sweeping needs, in which case many jurisdictions include street sweeping in a solid waste contract to ensure the cost for the service is aligned with the demand generator. Staff recommends the street sweeping service be included as part of the solid waste contract accordingly.

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page #29
Subject: Results of 60-Day Negotiations with Republic Services Date: February 25, 2026

Page 3 of 10 ends

Background and Analysis
Solid Waste services are not subject to formal bidding requirements under the Public Contracting Code. Thus, the City Council may approve a negotiated agreement or direct staff to conduct a competitive RFP process. Consistent with this discretion, the existing agreement with Republic Services includes a provision allowing the City to enter negotiations near the end of the contract term, with no obligation on the City to extend the term of the contract.

The current residential franchise agreement with Republic Services expires December 31, 2027.

On November 12, 2025, the City Council considered two procurement approaches:

Option 1 – Negotiate with Current Provider

• Enter a 60-day negotiation period.
• If mutually acceptable terms are reached, present key terms for City Council approval and direction
• If City Council does not approve the proposed terms and/or options thereof, initiate an RFP process.

Option 2 – Competitive Request for Proposals
• Issue an RFP allowing multiple qualified haulers to compete on service, innovation, and pricing.

The City Council directed staff to pursue Option 1 (Negotiations). Negotiations were conducted from November 14, 2025, through January 2026, and included six formal negotiation sessions.

Negotiation Focus Areas
Negotiations were structured around the following policy areas:
• Maintaining high customer satisfaction and service reliability • Preserving regional rate competitiveness
• Addressing NCU program blight and traffic safety concerns • Evaluating cost efficiencies and service tradeoffs
• Exploring inclusion of residential street sweeping
• Evaluating feasibility of a local HHW event

ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page #30
Subject: Results of 60-Day Negotiations with Republic Services Date: February 25, 2026

Proposed Rate Framework
Republic Services proposed the following for a 10-year term:

Initial Adjustment (2028)

• One-time 2.5% market adjustment effective January 1, 2028 • 3.5% adjustment effective January 1, 2028 (equivalent to current contract Consumer Price Index [CPI] Water Sewer Trash cap)
• This would result in a total one-time rate increase of 6% effective January 1, 2028

Ongoing Adjustments for the 10-Year Term (2029–2037)

• Annual CPI cap of 4.25% based on the CPI-Water-Sewer-Trash (WST) index • One-year rollover provision
o If the CPI for the WST index is above 4.25% one year and lower than 4.25% the next, then the overage in the first year may be applied in the second year up to the

4.25% cap. This would only apply for two-year increments; thus a higher index in year one could not be rolled over to year three, but a higher index in year two could be rolled over to year three and so on.
• If CPI-WST index is lower, lower index applies
o 10-year WST CPI average ~ 4.0%
o WST CPI exceeded 5% in each of the past three years
o WST CPI has averaged a 4.73 annual growth rate from 1997-2026 Service Options and Estimated Rate Impacts
In addition to the proposed rate adjustment, Republic Services proposed several options to reduce costs and/or enhance services. The options highlighted below represent a subset of the options discussed, specifically those with the most significant cost and service impacts related to street sweeping and the NCU services.

Under the current contract, NCU services are provided 3 times per year on a pre-scheduled cycle, allowing a maximum of 10 cubic yards per household per scheduled pickup. The following tables summarize these high-impact options and compare estimated cost impacts for combined packages.

10 CY to 5 CY $1.05
4 Reduce NCU frequency from 3 to 2 only ($0.77)
5 Reduce NCU volume from 10 CY to 5 CY only ($0.14)
* Recommended

Should the City Council direct staff to develop an amended and restated franchise agreement with Republic Services, direction as to one of the options listed in the table above is requested.

Additional Proposed Enhancements (~Cost Neutral)

Republic Services also proposed the following service enhancements which will result in a cost neutral impact and/or a small reduction to the monthly rate

• One annual local HHW drop-off event (cost neutral to residents) • Website interface improvements
• SB 1383 compliance monitoring enhancements
• Dedicated customer service manager
• Skid steer for community compost distribution and related activities • Utility truck for illegal dumping response
• Increased illegal dump tonnage
• Alternative collection vehicle pilot program within 18-24 months In advance of the presentation of procurement options to City Council on November 12, 2025, a number of surveys and opportunities for community input took place. This was discussed in more detail at the November 12, 2025, City Council meeting. A summary of the information is provided below.

Community Values
Community input was gathered through customer service satisfaction surveys, FlashVotes, neighborhood association meetings, and the customer service channels within the City.

Formal survey results were discussed in more detail in the November 12, 2025, City Council meeting and are summarized below for reference. For the Republic Services annual customer satisfaction surveys, the 2021 and 2024 surveys are referenced as they had the most respondents; however, Republic Services consistently receives high marks for overall customer satisfaction in all input channels.

2021 Annual Republic Services Customer Service Survey (414 respondents):

• 90% overall satisfaction
o 50% extremely satisfied
o 40% satisfied
2024 Annual Republic Services Customer Service Survey (700+ respondents):

• 91% overall satisfaction
o 62.1% very satisfied
o 29.2 satisfied with weekly collection service
2024 City FlashVote - focused on NCU (407 respondents in August 2024):
• 90% of the respondents used the NCU service
• Vast majority strongly supportive of the NCU program
• The most common recommendation was to enforce the original 48-hour set out rule 2025 FlashVote - Focused on overall customer satisfaction as well as NCU Waste Services) 404 respondents in November 2025:
• 92% used NCU in past year
• 93% reported overall service satisfaction with Republic Services for the price paid o 23% Excellent
o 36% Good
o 23% OK
Throughout all channels of community input, the feedback consistently supports retaining the NCU program. Primary concerns relate to early set-outs and blight attributed to materials in the public right of way. The 48-hour enforcement rule reinstated in 2025 was an initial step to ITEM 8
Agenda Packet Page #33
Subject: Results of 60-Day Negotiations with Republic Services Date: February 25, 2026

Page 7 of 10 ends

address NCU concerns. Additional changes such as reducing the NCU frequency or the volume of material allowed to be set out were considered as part of the negotiation process, In both FlashVotes, and in community outreach encounters, there has also been a consistent interest in hosting a local annual HHW drop-off event. This has been proposed by Republic Services as a cost neutral option to add to the regular service package.

Regional Rate Comparison
Citrus Heights continues to maintain its position as having one of the lowest residential garbage and recycling rates in the region. The tables that follow showcase the current (2026) and projected (2028) Citrus Heights rates in comparison to Sacramento County jurisdictions.

Current 2026 Rates in Sacramento County

Jurisdiction Service Provider Default 64-gallon Rate
City of Sacramento Municipal $54.08 *
Folsom Municipal $51.00
Rancho Cordova Atlas $41.28 *
Sacramento County Municipal $41.03
Elk Grove Republic Services $36.54
Citrus Heights Republic Services $33.04
* includes street sweeping

Estimated 2028 Rates (Factoring in a 3.5% estimated CPI) in Sacramento County

Jurisdiction Service Provider Default 64-gallon
Estimated 2028 Rates
City of Sacramento Municipal $57.93 *
Folsom Municipal $54.63
Sacramento County Municipal $43.95
Rancho Cordova Atlas $44.22*
Elk Grove Republic Services $39.14
Citrus Heights Republic Services $37.52- 38.71**

*Includes street sweeping
**Options selected will determine rates.

Regardless of what service options are selected, moving forward with a negotiated service agreement with Republic Services will result in Citrus Heights continuing to have the lowest rates in Sacramento County (not including Isleton and Galt) and the lowest or close to the lowest rates in the greater Sacramento region.

Final 2028 Rates
The customer rates will be finalized as part of the contract package and will be subject to a public hearing and approval process prior to the start of the new agreement term.

Additional Policy Considerations

Road Impacts
Heavy collection vehicles contribute an estimated:
• $2.9 million annually in residential street wear
• $334,000 annually on arterials
Republic Services is evaluating alternative fleet pilot options that it intends to implement in the next 18-24 months. They have advised staff that they have had several discussions with original equipment chassis manufacturers regarding Citrus Heights’ desire to reduce truck impacts to roadways. As steerable rear-axel waste trucks are not currently available in the industry, Republic Services is moving forward with partnering with these manufacturers to develop a steerable rear-axel pilot program. The development of the pilot program will take 4-6 months, and building the truck will take another 12-18 months. The pilot program will be cost neutral for the trial period. If the results of the pilot project warrant consideration of transitioning to a new collection vehicle type, a proposal would be presented for City Council consideration. Should the amended agreement be approved, this option will be included in the agreement.

Tri-Monthly Billing
Republic has suggested moving to a billing frequency of every three months versus every two months. A tri-monthly billing cycle is becoming common in many jurisdictions and does achieve some administrative savings of approximately $0.10 per month. Staff is supportive of this cost saving measure.

Proposed Timeline

The proposed timeline for the procurement options is as follows:

Timeline Action
Nov 2025 City Council directed staff to enter into negotiations Nov 2025 – Jan 2026 60-day negotiation period
Feb 2026
Present negotiated terms; City Council decision point, if negotiated amendment is supported, move forward with

Summary of Requested Policy Direction

Staff requests direction on the following:

Procurement Path

1. Proceed with a negotiated amended and restated agreement; or

2. Initiate a competitive RFP.

Service Package Considerations

1. Include residential street sweeping in the franchise agreement – Staff recommends including street sweeping in the franchise agreement.

2. Modify NCU program:
o Reduce frequency (3 to 2 per year) – Staff recommends reducing the frequency from 3 to 2 times per year.
o Reduce volume (10 CY to 5 CY) - Staff recommends retaining the 10 CY volume Conclusion

The 60-day negotiation period resulted in a proposed rate framework and options for service adjustments that met City goals to maintain competitive rates, achieve continued high customer satisfaction, and provide opportunities to continue to address blight and traffic safety concerns with the NCU while preserving the highly valued bulky waste collection program benefits.

Based on results of the 60-day negotiations, staff recommends proceeding with a negotiated amended and restated agreement. City Council direction is requested on the procurement path ITEM 8

BJECT: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Massage Establishments Reco
mmendation
Dur
ing the March 2025 Annual Strategic Planning Session, the City Council established an objective for staff to evaluate and present Zoning and Municipal Code updates related to high visibility or high impact uses to include massage establishments and provide a consistency comparison between the City and surrounding jurisdictions.

St
aff conducted a thorough review of Chapter 22, Article VIII, of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regulating massage establishments, and completed a comparison with other jurisdictions within the region. Based on the review, staff identified several areas which would strengthen the City’s regulatory framework governing massage establishments. Updating the current ordinance would clarify operational standards, enhance accountability for business owners and managers, improve enforcement tools, and align local regulations with public safety and neighborhood quality-of-life objectives.

Th
e proposed amendment updates also recognize massage therapy as a legitimate health-related profession while addressing documented concerns related to illegal activity, human trafficking, nuisance impacts, and noncompliance with existing regulations.

St
aff recommends that the City Council review the information presented in this report and accompanying presentation; and provide staff with feedback and direction on possible code amendments.

ITEM 9

Subject: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Massage Establishments Date: February 25, 2026

Page 2 of 5 ends

City Council Strategic Goal/Objective

This item is in alignment with the following City Council priority:

Goal: Preserve and Enhance Public Safey
Objective: 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.

Fiscal Impact

There is no direct impact to the City’s general fund.

Background and Analysis

Certain types of business activities can proliferate within a community and across a region, sometimes bringing positive impacts and other times creating challenges. Examples include massage establishments, and mobile food vendors, which staff presented to Council on December 10, 2025. To ensure a balanced approach and avoid localized impacts, it is important that the City’s regulations for these uses are generally consistent with those of surrounding jurisdictions. Alignment among neighboring cities helps prevent an over-concentration of such uses in any one area due to the “path of least resistance” in permitting or regulatory standards.

Chapter 22, Article VIII of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code regulates massage establishments.

Staff conducted a thorough review of the current ordinance, which was last updated in 2018.

While the existing ordinance provides foundational licensing and operational requirements, staff has identified the need for clearer standards, enhanced application requirements, and more effective enforcement mechanisms to deter illegal conduct while supporting legitimate massage establishments within the city.

During the review process, staff completed a comprehensive review and comparison of massage establishment ordinances within the region to include, the City of Sacramento, County of Sacramento, City of Rancho Cordova, and the City of Roseville. Based on staff’s review, it was determined the County of Sacramento and City of Roseville’s ordinances, both updated in 2025, provided staff with up-to-date ordinances to model for proposed amendments to the existing massage establishment ordinance.

Total 1,460,964 525 1 per 2,782 persons

Proposed Updates

Based on staff’s research and number of massage establishments within the city, staff recommends the council provide direction after considering the potential updates to align with regional partners and promote legitimate massage use within the City of Citrus Heights. The regulatory updates considered in this section are consistent with the County of Sacramento and the City of Roseville, there are no requirements being considered that are more restrictive than these two neighboring jurisdictions.

Purpose and Intent: Amend Section 22-602 to explicitly frame massage therapy as a valid health service while emphasizing ethics, crime deterrence, blight reduction, and neighborhood protection. Owners and managers bear full responsibility for all on-site conduct, a common accountability measure to combat illicit operations disguised as legitimate businesses.

Licensing and Application Enhancements: These strengthen vetting and transparency:
• Amend Section 22-613(a)(6)(f) to broaden criminal history disclosures to include prior criminal charges and convictions.
• Amend Section 22-613(5) to require applicants to provide documentation if they are proposing to retain a massage therapist as an independent contractor. This update would result in an amendment to Section 22-604- Definitions.
• Amend Section 22-613(b) to establish clear timelines for application review and completion for incomplete applications.
• Add Section 22-613(d) to require a current and valid policy of liability insurance providing minimum coverage of $1,000,000.
• Add Section 22-622(a) to require the property owner or landlord information to allow notifications to property owners regarding violations.

Location and Density Control: Add Section 22-623(a) to create a 1,000-foot separation between establishments to prevent the overconcentration. Owner operated massage establishments (owner is the sole provider) would be exempt from this update.

ITEM 9
Agenda Packet Page #42
Subject: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Massage Establishments Date: February 25, 2026

Page 4 of 5 ends

License Renewal Requirements: Add Section 22-630(f) to require all unpaid citations or uncorrected violations must be corrected prior to the renewal of a business license.

Operational and Facility Standards: These updates would establish and clarify current standards within the existing ordinance language.
• Amend Section 22-682 to prohibit any person from entering a massage establishment under the influence of alcohol or drug.
• Amend Section 22-683 to prohibit the residential use (living facilities) of a commercial massage establishment.
• Amend Section 22-684 to restrict therapist attire to prohibit transparent, see-through, or garments which substantially expose the anatomical areas. • Amend Section 22-685 to expand prohibited conduct to prohibit the touching of anatomical areas of a female customer without their written consent. • Amend Section 22-687 to allow security cameras at the reception desk and rear entry/exit of the business.
• Amend Section 22-692 to create advertising restrictions, to include sexually suggestive content and advertising on websites known to promote illicit activity. • Add Section 22-695 to define window covering requirements to allow visibility into a massage establishment during the hours of operation.
• Add Section 22-696 to prohibit the installation or use of table showers. • Add Section 22-697 to mandate the posting of notices which include victim and human trafficking information pursuant to California Civil Code Section 52.6.

Enforcement: Amend Section 22-702 and Chapter 50, Article II. Based on current enforcement practices within regional jurisdictions, this update would identify correctable and non-correctable violations to enable the city to improve compliance with this article.

Public Outreach

As part of the ordinance review, staff created a dedicated webpage on the City’s website for massage establishments, providing the community with access to information related to the proposed updates. In addition, staff from the police department and the community development department participated in a community workshop held on January 22, 2026. The purpose of the workshop was to provide massage establishment owners, managers, and employees with an opportunity to ask questions directly to staff regarding the proposed ordinance changes.

The workshop was attended by approximately 20 participants, who raised several concerns related to the proposed updates. Specifically, attendees expressed concerns regarding the 1,000- foot separation requirement, indicating it would make it difficult to open a new massage establishment within the city. Additionally, attendees expressed concerns related to early warning devices and window coverings, stating these are added security features for employees and window coverings prevent sun and additional heat from entering the business. Attendees were receptive to the addition of video camera requirements but mentioned they would like video camera requirement to extend to the exterior of the businesses Attendees also voiced concerns ITEM 9
Agenda Packet Page #43
Subject: Discussion Item of Strategic Goal Related to Massage Establishments Date: February 25, 2026

Page 5 of 5 ends

about their personal safety if certain security measures were restricted under the proposed ordinance.

Next Steps

Staff requests City Council feedback and direction regarding the potential amendments and any additional areas of concern and whether council supports proceeding with the potential amendments to better align regulations for massage establishments with those of surrounding and regional jurisdictions. Feedback received during Council discussion will be used to inform staff and guide the next steps for amending Chapter 22, Article VIII, massage establishments.
