SUBJECT: Street Maintenance Assessments (additions to City of Elk Grove Street Maintenance District No. 1, Zone 3-AS (Eastern Area) Ballot Proceeding The purpose of this notice is to provide you with information about the assessment ballot proceeding being conducted by the City of Elk Grove and its effect on real property that you own.

• A hearing will be held on May 14, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard at the City Hall, 8400 Laguna Palms Way, Elk Grove, California.
• The reason for the assessment is to fund the maintenance and operation of streets serving property proposed to be added to the City of Elk Grove Street Maintenance District No. 1 (the “District”).
• The proposed annual assessment at maximum levy is $ 214.15 per single family residential unit, $149.90 per multi family residential unit, and $ 3,340.75 per non- residential acre for each parcel with respect to which an application for a building permit has been filed. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, the assessment is $214.15 per single family residential unit, $149.90 per multi family residential unit, and $3,340.75 per non -residential acre. Such assessment may be increased each year after Fiscal Year 2024-25 based upon the increase in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR-CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area over the prior year. Your propert y is expected to have 1.34 non-residential acres at buildout, which would result in a total annual assessment of $ 4,476.61 (plus inflation adjustments) at that time.
• The annual amount chargeable to all the property proposed for assessment in this proceeding at buildout would be $4,476.61 (plus inflation adjustments). • Assessment duration: in perpetuity.
• How the assessment was calculated: The assessment is apportioned on all assessable lots or parcels proposed for assessment in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each lot or parcel. Benefit to any parcel is in proportion to its number of EDUs when developed. The total estimated costs for operation and maintenance of streets that serve the property is allocable among all parcels
in proportion to each parcel’s expected EDUs. For additional detail, see the Engineer’s Report and relevant supplements.

Dear Mayor, councilmembers, and staff:
I’m Heidi Keiser, Director of Government Affairs for Child Action, Inc. (CAI). CAI has empowered Sacramento County families through early care and education (ECE) for almost half a century. Last year alone, we administered $127 million in child care subsidies, directly supporting 8,642 families and
16,229 children—many here in Elk Grove.
We partner with local providers to expand access to affordable, quality child care: licensing support, capacity-building resources, and training for educators. Elk Grove’s own Community Development Block Grant outreach highlighted child care as a critical need—a challenge CAI is uniquely equipped to address. Already, millions of our annual funding uplift Elk Grove’s children, families, and educators. Let’s deepen this impact.
We’re already Livability.com’s “Best Place to Live” in California. I say “we” because after living and working everywhere from Washington, D.C. to London, I chose to raise my family in Elk Grove, in Sacramento County. This is where families come to thrive. Let’s ensure every family here keeps thriving. CAI is eager to collaborate with you to tailor solutions that sustain Elk Grove’s prosperity, our prosperity. Elk Grove, Sacramento County, we’re already California’s model for the community that values our children. I’m excited for the day when we serve as the national prototype. I look forward to discussing expediting Elk Grove’s achievement of that recognition.
Thank you,
Heidi

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ITEM NO 9.01
03-26-2025
Testimony of Michael Monasky
Submitted to the Elk Grove City Council
Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Item 9.1: EGPD 2024 Annual Report regarding militarization of the police I s
uggest three reasons not to militarize the police, related to training, duties, and funding.
The
ir academy is in name only. Captains, lieutenants, chiefs and detectives are trained in weeks to follow orders without question. This is indoctrination. The police department only requires weeks- long training (usually less than six months) along with POST certifications. Police aren’t generals and admirals who spend multiple years in war colleges and receive multiple advanced degrees with university educations where they are encouraged to question authority.
Mos
t police work deals with petty theft, trespass at businesses and domestic violence as evidenced by the public police logs. The most frequent crime committed in Elk Grove is larceny. By contrast, military duties follow strict orders of support behind firing lines where soldiers kill each other and blow up stuff. These police and military duties are mutually exclusive.
Ove
r 70 per cent of the Elk Grove general fund pays for policing, with most of the remainder applied to maintain roads. The city of Elk Grove does not engage in social services to keep families together, people in their homes, emergency food in their cupboards and on their tables. This council has an unbroken record of failure to provide affordable housing and adequate public transit.
Me
anwhile, I have EGPD body camera footage from 2018 showing two of Elk Grove’s finest successfully shooting each other while pursuing a probationer. If Elk Grove officers cannot control their guns, what makes anyone think they can control military grade equipment? And to what end? To reduce acts of larceny? To make the public feel safe from harm? Ou
r streets are unsafe because this council subsidizes the sale of heavy oversized SUVs with obstructed sightlines that put pedestrians in peril. Restoring walkable areas in our neighborhoods will make Elk Grove safer for pedestrians. And the presence of pedestrians will reduce the frequency of acts of larceny by making us live together in community. That’s not communism or socialism, but simply living together.
As
it is, Elk Grove is governed as a police state; there is certainly no need to transform it into a militarized police state.
