L
eague of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 20-22, 2023, Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
Ev
ery year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Tak
ing place on Sept. 22, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To ca
st a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Pl
ease complete the attached voting delegate form and email it to Cal Cities office no later than Monday, August 28.
New
this year, we will host a pre-conference information session for voting delegates to explain their role. Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre- conference communications with voting delegates.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Act
ion by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. When completing the attached Voting Delegate form, please attach either a copy of the council resolution that reflects the council action taken or have your city clerk or mayor sign the form affirming that the names provided are those selected by the city council.
Pl
ease note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Council Action Advised by August 28, 2023
11 Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento, will be open at the following times:
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 21, 7:30 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 22, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for completing the voting delegate and alternate form and returning it to Cal Cities office by Monday, Aug. 28. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

14 Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved1
by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.2
• Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.
What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 15 City Council

Reallocation of Director of Long Range Planning and Housing to Principal Planner and Adoption of a Principal Planner Salary Range Date:
August 22, 2023
Submitted By:
Tameka Usher, Administrative Services
Department:
Administrative Services - Human Resources
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Reallocating One Director of Long-Range Planning and Housing to Principal Planner; and Adopting Revised Management Employees' Salary Schedule.
Background:
Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 570.5, requires the City's salary schedules to be adopted at a public meeting.
A recent vacancy in the Community Development Department created an opportunity to reevaluate the department’s organization structure. Consistent with a recent organizational study conducted by Matrix Consulting Group, staff recommends reallocating the Director of Long-Range Planning and Housing position to a Principal Planner.
In the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Operating Budget the housing components were transitioned to the City Manager’s Office, leaving the remaining long-range planning duties as well as day-to-day supervision activities of the Planning Division to be performed by the proposed Principal Planner.
In accordance with the definition of Management Employee in the City of Rocklin Employee/Employer Resolution, staff recommends that the classification of Principal Planner be assigned to the Management Group.
Additionally, staff recommends making this position at-will, as defined in the City of Rocklin Personnel Rules. Staff further recommends that the salary for the classification be set to salary range 18 ($98,514 - $135,802) of the Management Salary Schedule.
Item Number 2F.
29 In summary, staff recommends that the City Council:
1 .
Delete 1.0 FTE Director of Long-Range Planning and Housing allocation in the Community Development Department; and
2 .
Add 1.0 FTE Principal Planner allocation in the Community Development Department.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation is expected to be a savings of approximately $56,400.

WHEREAS, the adoption of a new salary range requires an update to the Management Salary Schedule.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rocklin as follows:

Sierra Joint Community College District Transfer of Land to City of Rocklin
Date:
August 22, 2023
Submitted By:
Aly Zimmermann, City Manager
Elizabeth Sorg, Management Analyst
Department:
City Manager's Office
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Sierra Joint Community College District for the Transfer of Fee Title for Two Properties.
Background:
The City of Rocklin has been in discussions with the Sierra Joint Community College District (Sierra College) about two parcels that Sierra College wishes to provide to the City for use.
The first parcel is APN 045-450-027, adjacent to Ambassador Drive and Schatz Lane, south of Rocklin Road and west of Sierra College Boulevard. This parcel is owned by the College and the City has a conservation easement on the land. A location map is included as Exhibit A to Attachment 2. Sierra College and the City desire this property to remain an open space parcel.
The second parcel is part of APN 045-150-050, north of the parking lot on the corner of Sierra College Boulevard and Stadium Entrance Road. A location map is included at Exhibit C to Attachment 2. Sierra College and the City desire this property to be developed as a City of Rocklin fire station with related amenities.
The proposed agreement (Attachment 2) describes the condition of fee title transfer between Sierra College and the City. Both properties must be transferred to the City at the same time.
When the City is prepared to construct the fire station, Sierra College will initiate the surplus land process. Prior to the transfer of the properties, Sierra College will obtain a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment with cost shared between Sierra College and City. Should hazardous materials be found on the site, Sierra College will perform the remedial work. Sierra College will also remove all non-native and invasive species and remove trash and debris from the sites. When such work, if any, is completed and the transfer has occurred, the City shall accept the Conservation Property and the Fire Station Property in their present condition.
The agreement was reviewed and approved by the Sierra Joint Community College District Item Number 2G.
39 Board of Trustees at the August 7, 2023 Regular Meeting of the Board. The proposed Resolution (Attachment 1) grants the City Manager the authority to enter in the agreement for the transfer of the fee title for both properties.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact in approving the agreement. However, the City will share the cost of the environmental site assessment, the costs of which are unknown but are expected to be minor.

City-College Agreement
(Fire Station and Conservation Properties)
This Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on this ___ day of ________, 2023, by and between the City of Rocklin, a municipal corporation ("City") and Sierra Joint Community College District ("College"). This Agreement refers to the City and the College collectively as the "Parties" and singularly as a "Party".
Recitals
A. This Agreement is intended to further the cooperative partnership between the College and the City. The College owns land that is not contiguous to the College, upon which the City holds a conservation easement, which is not usable by the College for its purposes. The City is in need of a fire station site east of Interstate 80 in the City, and the College has a 1+ acre parcel of land that could satisfy the City's need.
B. More specifically, the College owns real property located in the City totaling approximately 3.5+ acres designated as Assessor's Parcel Number 045-450-027, the location of which is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Conservation Property"). The Conservation Property is subject to an open space and conservation easement granted to the City by Cresleigh Homes as part of its Cresleigh Sierra project in May 1995, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated herein by reference ("Conservation Easement"). The College desires to transfer fee title to the Conservation Property to the City, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the City desires to accept fee title pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
C. Again, more specifically, the City desires to build a fire station in the City on the east side of Interstate 80 and the College owns an unutilized property on its campus which is well situated to serve as a fire station site. A rough depiction of the fire station site, the actual size and configuration of which is to be agreed upon by the Parties, is attached hereto as Exhibit C ("Fire Station Property"). The City desires to build a fire station on the Fire Station Property. The College agrees to transfer and the City agrees to accept fee title to the Fire Station Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Conservation Property and the Fire Station Property are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually a "Property," and collectively as the "Properties."
D. The City provides municipal and community facilities and services, including, public safety facilities and services, to City residents, businesses and institutions, one of which is the College.
E. In support of its educational mission, the Sierra College Board of Trustees has the authority to declare certain of its properties "surplus." At such time as the City is prepared to move forward with the funding and construction of the fire station on the Fire 43 3185.009.2440544.10 06/07/2023 2
Station Property, the College will complete all requirements in the Education and Government Codes with respect to the disposition of surplus property, to the extent applicable to the Conservation Property and Fire Station Property.
F. The relationship between the City and the College is of primary importance to the Parties, and both desire that this Agreement represent a renewed level of engagement and collaboration between the Parties.
Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows:
Agreement
1. Term/Transfer. The term of this Agreement shall be five (5) years after the date upon which the last Party hereto executes this Agreement ("Effective Date"). The date upon which the City accepts fee title to the Properties is referred to herein as the "Transfer Date."
2. Conservation Property-Transfer of Fee Title. The College shall transfer fee title to the Conservation Property to the City consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the Transfer Date, the Conservation Property shall be annexed into the City's Community Facilities Districts One ("CFD-1") and Five ("CFD-5"), without protest, by which College Park Parcels shall thereafter pay their respective fair shares for the annual maintenance of the Conservation Property. As used herein, the term "College Park Parcels" shall mean those parcels of property which are paying assessments under CFD-1 and/or CFD-5. Until such time as the transfer is made, the College will continue to maintain the property per the Conservation Easement, and CFD-1 and/or CFD-5 will assume all responsibility thereafter.
3. Fire Station Property – Transfer of Fee Title. College and City shall use commercially reasonable efforts within two (2) years after the Effective Date to agree upon the size and configuration of the Fire Station Property. The Fire Station Property shall not exceed two (2) acres in size. Once a metes and bounds description of the Fire Station Property has been agreed upon, and the other conditions provided herein have been satisfied, including the approval of the Properties as surplus land, College shall transfer and City shall accept fee title to the Fire Station Property. The College, as a public entity, is exempt from the Subdivision Map Act and shall create the grant deed to the Fire Station Property as required by law to effectuate its transfer to the City. Prior to the Transfer Date, the Fire Station Property shall be annexed without protest into CFD-1 and CFD-5.
4. Transfers of Conservation Property and Fire Station Property – Condition Precedent. This Agreement shall not obligate City to accept fee title to either the Fire Station Property or the Conservation Property. City may reject acceptance of fee title for either of the Properties for any reason and shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement if such a rejection occurs; provided, however, this Agreement involves the transfer of both the Conservation Property and the Fire Station Property to the City, and, 44 3185.009.2440544.10 06/07/2023 3
unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, both Properties must be transferred to the City at the same time. Therefore, the rejection of one of the Properties by the City shall be a rejection of both Properties and this Agreement shall terminate. If, after the transfer of the Fire Station Property to the City, the City elects not to build a fire station thereon within five (5) years after the Transfer Date, the Fire Station Property shall be deeded (donated) back to the College at no cost (which provision shall be included in the Grant Deed for the Fire Station Property).
5. Legal Boundaries and Encroachments. Prior to the Transfer Date, City may, by survey or otherwise, verify the legal boundaries of each Property and confirm that there are no encroachments onto either Property by neighboring property owners.
6. Surplus Lands. On or before the time that the City is prepared to construct the fire station on the Fire Station Property, College shall instigate the surplus lands process for both Properties and use its best efforts to timely process the approval, which approval shall be a condition to the College transferring the Properties to the City.
7. Approval of Title. No later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, the College shall provide to the City a Preliminary Report issued by Placer Title Company (Tracy Murphy, Roseville office) with respect to the Conservation Property. At such time as the City and the College have agreed upon a metes and bounds description for the Fire Station Property, the College shall order a proforma Preliminary Report from Placer Title Company and deliver it to the City upon receipt. The City shall determine if it desires to obtain a policy of title insurance on either property at its expense upon transfer of the Properties to the City.
8. Hazardous Materials, Non-Native Species, Trash & Debris. The College is not aware of any Hazardous Materials in or on the Conservation Property or in or on the Fire Station Property. Prior to the transfer of the Conservation Property and the Fire Station Property, College will obtain a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment ("Phase 1") assessment for each of the Properties in its name and in the name of the City, the cost of which shall be shared by the College and the City. To the extent that there are Hazardous Materials on either Property, the College shall, prior to the transfer and if commercially feasible, perform the remedial work to obtain a no further action letter from the County of Placer or other governing agency. The College shall also remove non- native invasive species and clean up all trash and debris from the Properties prior to transfer of the Properties to the City. If the cost of the work to remedy the Hazardous Materials and/or remove the non-native species is not commercially feasible in the College's opinion, the College may terminate this Agreement. When such work, if any, is completed and the transfer has occurred, the City shall accept the Conservation Property and the Fire Station Property in their as-is, where-is, present condition. "Hazardous Materials," as used herein, shall mean any oil, flammable explosives, asbestos, urea formaldehyde, radioactive materials or waste, or other hazardous, toxic, contaminated or polluting materials, substances or wastes, including, without limitation, any "hazardous substances", "hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials" or "toxic substances" under applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations. 45 3185.009.2440544.10 06/07/2023 4
9. Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement. No later than ten (10) days after the Effective Date, College shall deliver to City a Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement for the Property (the "NHDS"). City shall approve the NHDS and return a signed copy thereof to College. City acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the NHDS shall release City from its obligation to fully investigate the condition of the Real Property, including, without limitation, whether the Real Property is located in any natural hazard areas and that City has the expertise to perform such investigations and will have had the opportunity to do so under the terms of this Agreement. City further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the NHDS may change on or prior to the Transfer Date and that College has no obligation to update, modify, or supplement the NHDS. The provisions of the NHDS, if any, shall in no way be deemed or construed to limit the "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" nature of this Agreement.
10. "AS IS" Purchase. City is purchasing the Property "AS IS", "WHERE IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS", and with all defects, and, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither College nor any employee or agent of College has made or will make, either expressly or impliedly, any representations, guaranties, promises, statements, assurances or warranties of any kind concerning any of the following matters (collectively referred to herein as "Property Conditions"): (i) the suitability or condition of the Property for any purpose or its fitness for any particular use, (ii) the profitability and/or feasibility of owning, developing, operating and/or improving the Property, (iii) the physical condition of the Property, (iv) the revenues, income, costs or expenses thereof, (v) the net or gross acreage, usable or unusable, contained therein, (vi) the zoning of the Property, (vii) the condition of title, (viii) the compliance of the Property with applicable zoning or building laws, codes or ordinances, or other laws, rules and regulations, (ix) water or utility availability or use restrictions, (x) geologic/seismic conditions, soil and terrain stability, or drainage, (xi) sewer, septic, and well systems and components, (xii) other Property Conditions, including, fire protection, noise or odor from any sources, landfills, proposed future developments, or other conditions or influences which may be significant to certain individuals, or (xiii) any other past, present or future matter relating to the Property which may affect the Properties or its current or future use, habitability, value or desirability. City is strongly encouraged to conduct its own inspection and investigation of the Property Conditions referred to above and is further encouraged to obtain, at its expense, expert advice as to such matters from professional inspectors and others. City acknowledges that, prior to taking title to the Properties, City will have had full opportunity and adequate time to inspect and investigate such Property Conditions to its own satisfaction or cause such an inspection and investigation by experts engaged by City. City represents to College that it is relying solely upon such inspection and investigation in connection with its acceptance of title to the Properties and not upon any express or implied representations, guaranties, promises, statements, assurances or warranties of College or any of College's employees or agents as to such Property Conditions, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. City also understands and agrees that, except as provided in this Agreement, City is accepting title to the Properties without any obligation on the part of College to 46 3185.009.2440544.10 06/07/2023 5
make any repairs, changes or alterations with respect to the Properties or any of the Property Conditions.
Upon acceptance of the Properties on the Transfer Date, City and its officers, officials, managers, representatives, agents, employees, affiliates, partners, successors and assigns, do hereby agree that they are fully and forever waiving, releasing and discharging College from any and all claims, rights, remedies and causes of action of any nature or sort, known or unknown, past, present and future, which City may have which arise out of or relate in any way to any liability or responsibility for the Property Conditions or, for any investigation, cleanup or remediation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, including, without limitation, any liability or responsibility for cleanup or remediation arising out of, relating to or under any of the matters, liabilities, laws, events and/or items described in the preceding paragraph. City agrees that this release is fully effective regardless of any present lack of knowledge on the part of any party as to any possible claim or any facts or circumstances pertaining to this matter. Without limiting the foregoing provisions, this release is also intended to prevent City from cross-complaining against College in the event that, after accepting title to the Properties, Property Conditions or Hazardous Materials are discovered which were not introduced in, on, under or about the Property by College or were not known by College to exist as of the Transfer Date, and an action is brought by a governmental agency against City. City expressly waives the benefits and provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and any similar law of any state or territory of the United States or other jurisdiction. Civil Code Section 1542 provides as follows:
"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO
CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING
PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST
IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF
KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR
RELEASED PARTY."

Resolution Opposing the Release of a Sexually Violent Predator in South Placer
Date:
August 22, 2023
Submitted By:
Rustin Banks, Chief of Police
Department:
Police
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Opposing the Release of a Sexually Violent Predator into the Incorporated Areas of South Placer County.
Background:
On July 17, 2023, a Placer County Superior Court Judge granted a petition allowing William Robert Stephenson (Stephenson) to be released with “Transient Status.” This means Stephenson would be released in Placer County to a trailer or recreational vehicle to a location in Placer County that has yet to be determined but without a designated address.
Stephenson has previously been convicted of multiple sexually violent crimes and has been determined to be a sexually violent predator per California law and the Department of State Hospitals. Stephenson was released in 2014 into Roseville and three years later he violated the terms of his conditional release.
Rocklin, Roseville, and Lincoln represent approximately 67% of the population of Placer County in only 6% of the total area land of the County. The three cities are the most densely populated area of the County; minors make up approximately 25% of the total population.
The City of Rocklin is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of its residents, and Stephenson's release into an unspecified area of South Placer is inappropriate. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) which opposes the release of Stephenson into the incorporated areas of South Placer, and authorizes staff to submit a letter to all appropriate parties for this release. The cities of Roseville and Lincoln have also presented similar resolutions to their City Councils.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROCKLIN OPPOSING THE RELEASE OF A
SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR INTO THE INCORPORATED AREAS OF SOUTH PLACER COUNTY WHEREAS, under California law, a “Sexually Violent Predator” is defined as an individual who has been convicted of a sexually violent crime against one or more persons and has been diagnosed with a mental disorder that makes the individual a danger to the health and safety of others because it is likely the individual will commit sexually violent criminal behavior without treatment in custody; and
WHEREAS, William Robert Stephenson (“Stephenson”) had been convicted of violations of Penal Code § 220, Assault With Intent to Commit a Specific Sex Offense; Penal Code § 289(a), Sexual Penetration of a Victim With Foreign Object By Force; and Penal Code § 288a(c)(2), Oral Copulation By Force Or Fear, and had been committed for an indeterminate term to the custody of the Department of State Hospitals as a Sexually Violent Predator; and WHEREAS, on or around January 20, 2022, a Judge for the Placer County Superior Court ordered the conditional release of Stephenson from the Department of State Hospitals and into the community for receipt of outpatient treatment; and
WHEREAS, on or around July 17, 2023, a Judge for the Placer County Superior Court granted a petition allowing Stephenson to be released with “Transient Status”, whereby Stephenson would be released to a trailer or recreational vehicle to a location in Placer County that has yet to be determined but without a designated address; and WHEREAS, Stephenson was previously conditionally released into the City of Roseville in 2014; and
WHEREAS, on or around May 19, 2017, while on conditional release, Stephenson was arrested and subsequently charged with violation of Penal Code § 311.11(b), Possession of Obscene Matter of a Minor, a felony; and
WHEREAS, Stephenson’s violation of Penal Code § 311.11(b) and his associated internet use and browser search history violated the terms of his conditional release; and WHEREAS, a key role of a municipality is to protect the health and safety of its residents and community members; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln represent approximately sixty- seven percent (67%) of the entire population of Placer County; and WHEREAS, the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln represent only six percent (6%) of the total land area of Placer County; and
WHEREAS, approximately twenty-four percent (24%) of the population of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln are under the age of 18; and 63
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that release of a Sexually Violent Predator in the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, or Lincoln, which represent the most dense urban populations with high percentages of underage individuals, is inappropriate; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that release of Stephenson, a Sexually Violent Predator who has previously been conditionally released and subsequently reoffended by possessing obscene materials involving minors, into the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, or Lincoln is contrary to the public’s health and safety; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council vehemently opposes the release of Stephenson into the incorporated area of South Placer County, including anywhere within the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council approves the letter attached hereto as Attachment “A”, and directs City staff to send the letter to Liberty Healthcare for submission to the Department of State Hospitals and the Placer County Superior Court; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that staff may take additional actions as may be directed by the City Manager and the Chief of Police in furtherance of opposing the release of Stephenson into the cities of Roseville, Rocklin, or Lincoln.

RE: Opposition to the Transient Release of SVP William Stephenson in the City of Rocklin Dear Dr. Bagwell:
Please accept this letter in response to the 6609.1 Notification Letter, dated July 27, 2023, regarding the conditional release of William Robert Stephenson, a Sexually Violent Predator (“SVP”). For the reasons set forth below, the City of Rocklin (“City”) strongly opposes the release of Stephenson to a location within the geographic boundaries of the City.
The City of Rocklin is densely populated and has the second highest population in Placer County.
Latest population estimates show approximately 74,000 residents in Rocklin with over 26% under the age of 18. Rocklin has the highest concentration of youth in Placer County. Rocklin is also only 1.3% of the total land area of Placer Cou nty, but it has the highest density of residents of any incorporated area with an overall population per square mile of 3,614. The city has 37 parks, approximately 25 K-12 schools, and 26 daycare facilities. Given the residency restrictions of Penal Code s ection 3003.5 and Welfare & Institutions Code section 6608.5, placement of Stephenson in a compliant area within the City will be challenging. Placement becomes even more difficult considering that many of the less dense or currently undeveloped areas within the City are scheduled for development. Further, it is simply not appropriate and is contrary to public safety to release – even conditionally – a Sexually Violent Predator into the most densely populated area with the highest percentage of youth and children.
In approximately 2014, Stephenson was conditionally released from commitment and was placed in a residence within the neighboring City of Roseville . In March of 2017, f orensic exam of Stephenson’s computer revealed access to pornographic sites and over 50 pornographic images, including images of sexually explicit material involving children. Stephenson was then arrested and charged for violating Penal Code section 311.11, subsection (d), Possession of Obscene Matter of a Minor.
Stephenson has alread y been released in Roseville, and he promptly violated the terms of his release and committed a felony. Stephenson, himself, has demonstrated that South Placer in general is not an appropriate place for his release and that he cannot be successful in this 65 community, and the City of Rocklin lacks the resources to become Stephenson’s private watchdog. Stephenson should be placed in an area where he has a greater chance of successful treatment and a lower chance of recidivism. Based on Stephenson’s past actions and his failures in our neighboring city, his best chance of successful treatment and recovery is through placement in some other location.
Our City recognizes the difficult nature of this situation and the legal constraints imposed upon the Court for release of a Sexually Violent Predator, and that the reality of the situation is that no community will be pleased to have such an individual placed in their midst. However, the City has an obligation to its residents to inform Liberty Health, the Departmentof State Hospitals, and the Court as to why Stephenson’s placement within the City of Rocklin is improper and at odds with public safety. The City of Rocklin and the densely populated areas of South Placer in general are simply not an appropriate location for placement of William Stephenson. For these reasons, the City strongly opposes the transient status release of Stephenson and any placement of Stephenson in our community. Furthermore, the City believes that Stephenson should be held in custody until a ppropriate housing is found, and Liberty Healthcare should set a reasonable timeline to identify housing outside of the South Placer region.
Sincerely,

Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a One-Year Time Extension of a Tentative Parcel Map (South Whitney Mixed Use Third Time Extension / DL2015-0001) Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a One-Year Time Extension of a Tentative Subdivision Map , Design Review and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (South Whitney Mixed Use Tentative Subdivision Map Third Time Extension / SD-2017-0006, DR2014-0016, and TRE2015-0009) Proposal/Application Request:
This application is a request for approval of a one-year extension of time for the following previously approved entitlement to allow the development of the South Whitney Mixed Use project:
A Tentative Parcel Map (DL -2015-0001) to subdivide an approximately 2.8 gross acre site into two parcels.
This application is also a request for approval of a one-year extension of time for the following previously approved entitlements to allow the development of the South Whitney Mixed Use project:
68 A Design Review (DR-2014-0016) and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE-2015-0009) to approve townhomes and a commercial building with associated site improvements, and remove 22 oak trees.
A Tentative Subdivision Map (SD-2017-0006) to subdivide approximately 2.8 gross acres into 20 townhome parcels and three common area lots.
Location:
The subject property is generally located on the southerly side of South Whitney Boulevard between Sunset Boulevard and Bryce Way (APN 016-240-039). See Figure 1.

The property owner and applicant is Whitney Sunset 14 LLC.
Previous Approvals:
Original Project
The City Council originally approved the South Whitney Mixed Use project on June 28, 2016 via Resolution Nos. 2016-177, -178, -179, and -180. These original project approvals included a General Plan Amendment (GPA2015-0001), General Development Plan Amendment (PDG2015-0005), and Rezone (Z2014-0009), which went into effect upon approval.
The project also included a Tentative Parcel Map (DL2015-0001), Design Review (DR2014-0016), and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2015-0009), included as Figures 2-4, respectively. Consistent with the requirements of the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) in 2015, these three project entitlements were initially valid for two years, unless a building permit had been issued or an extension had been granted.
Figure 2 – Approved Tentative Parcel Map (DL2015-0001)
70 Figure 3 – Approved Design Review Site Plan (DR2017-0016) Figure 4 – Approved Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE2015-0009) 71 Tentative Subdivision Map
On July 25, 2017, the City Council passed City Council Resolution No. 2017-175, approving a Tentative Subdivision Map for the South Whitney Mixed Use project (SD2017-0006). The Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM) allowed for the creation of three common ownership lots and 20 townhome parcels, in conjunction with the previously-approved Tentative Parcel Map (TPM), Design Review (DR), and Oak Tree Preservation Plan Permit (TRE) entitlements described above, thereby allowing the townhomes to be sold as individual privately-owned dwelling units rather than be commonly-owned rental units (Figure 5) as originally envisioned. Pursuant to the RMC requirements in 2015, the TSM was conditioned to expire two years from the date of approval, through July 25, 2019.
Subsequently, in 2019, 2020, and 2022 the City Council approved extensions that, cumulatively, extended the Parcel Map to June 28, 2023 and the other project entitlements to July 25, 2024, consistent with the provisions of the RMC at that time.
Figure 5 – Approved Tentative Subdivision Map (SD2017-0006) 72 Even though the applicant had requested a two-year time extension for each of the entitlements, the TPM (approved 2016) was only eligible for one additional year under the 2022 provisions of the RMC, as it had been an approved entitlement for six years at the time. However, the TSM (approved 2017) was eligible for two additional years. The DR and TRE entitlements did not have the same limitations, and were allowed to be extended for the full two-year period, consistent with the TSM.
Municipal Code Amendment:
As previously discussed, when the extensions were processed in June 2022, Section 16.20.060 the RMC stated that an extension of time may be granted for maps up to, but not exceeding, a total of four years beyond the initial three years allowed for the filing of the map.
On June 27, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1166, which modified Section 16.20.060 of the RMC to allow for six total years of extensions, consistent with Government Code section 66452.6(e) which states that a tentative map expiration may be extended for a period not exceeding a total of six years beyond the initial allowed time.
Proposed Time Extension:
On June 13, 2023, the applicant submitted a request for a two-year extension for the project entitlements (Attachment A). According to Section 16.20.060 of the RMC, this application automatically extended the project for 60 days, or until the application for extension is acted upon by the City Council, whichever occurs first.
In the extension request, the applicant states that the project is getting closer to development and that improvement plans, including the offsite roadway improvements, have been submitted, or will be submitted imminently, to the City, the South Placer Municipal Utility District (SPMUD) and the Placer County Water Agency (PCWA).
The applicant was informed that the TPM, which was originally approved for two years in 2016 (through 2018) has already been granted five years of extensions (through 2023). Therefore, under the modified regulations and consistent with the Government Code, the TPM is only eligible for one additional year.
If approved, the TPM would be valid through June 28, 2024 and would not be eligible for any further extensions under the RMC.
Even though the TSM, DR, and TRE are already valid until 2024, staff recommends that these entitlements be extended for one year each through July 25, 2025, as they may take more time to complete these entitlements than the time it will take to record the TPM. 73 Staff Findings:
Staff finds this request to be consistent with the existing General Plan designation and requirements of the RMC as recently amended and further finds the proposed project to be compatible with existing and anticipated development of surrounding residentially and commercially designated properties.
Environmental Analysis:
In 2016, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (MND) was previously approved by the Rocklin City Council through Resolution No. 2016-177. Project specific analysis was conducted and potential impacts of the South Whitney Mixed Use project were identified in the MND document.
Because no changes are proposed as part of this request for extension to the previously approved project, pursuant to Section 15162 of California Code of Regulations, Article 11 (“CEQA Guidelines”), no additional environmental review is required.
