Jonathan Wright, Auburn’s community and economic development director, outlined the most actionable items for residents: two city parking lots will be used for staging earlier in the week (the East Placer lot and the upper Joe Elders lot); High Street downtown will close at 9 a.m. Friday for event setup, arch installation and staging; the first race begins overnight at China Wall (the 100‑mile race starts at midnight), followed by other race distances on Saturday; the 25K is expected to clear Cherry Street by about 7:30 a.m. Saturday, at which time one downhill lane of Cherry will be closed until about 2 a.m. Sunday; other closures on Magnolia and nearby corridors will be limited to parking lanes so through traffic can continue.

Wright said Magnolia and Roby Point areas will not have full road closures but will experience increased pedestrian and event traffic. He also noted the event typically brings several thousand visitors and that Canyons organizers have promoted local businesses; he encouraged merchants to remain open and to view the event as an opportunity for customers.

Wright said the city will post a detailed closure map and schedule on the city website and that staff are coordinating with event promoters on staging and public‑safety plans. He also confirmed a kids’ race is scheduled for Friday evening in the downtown square, with registration earlier in the day.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting, April 14th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff said the Canyons endurance event will use downtown staging lots and close High Street for setup, will include an overnight 100‑mile start and Saturday races that affect Cherry Street, and that a kids’ race is planned Friday evening in the downtown square.","taxTitle","Auburn, Placer County, California","taxId",57898,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272248,"Auburn Police report 2024: calls for service 20,758; overall crime declines, response times under industry targets",2450,2339000,4789000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3027994-b85056faa021f52bb30c319c845bfd5a&start=2339&end=4789","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3027994-b85056faa021f52bb30c319c845bfd5a/thumbnail_2339000.jpg","/articles/6272248/Auburn/Placer-County/California/Auburn-Police-report-2024-calls-for-service-20758-overall-crime-declines-response-times-under-industry-targets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272248-acbb0c4f73a02bb9d54407856e80b440/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445631&Signature=OTosz3-GUoLk3PN2bVxG5K6tgBdR0sNIYlrGk2zgwWRStsjmoMALgCSVC0ydCfO5eBivEeQ2df401r8ByRq98KXCp80k2S0D9IzK28vKmFO0jpMy8A4y4E7KmP4X8hKa2Q~KiyaNOUNOCKqAr4Pz~Qs8mDk24u6yEngFHPcWMphJXq4SSoVJs2N7Vk7MdA-H5WFWuLlOgTKISs9w2Dw3ZMEj5W3zkEMd1N0BUlAXbJbxRT5U-mPLZ~celaC8TuiEq6hmPCu8zE-N~z3~B4euLTq7LQVBPn6SL~8BZjjoA1uSgdFzxkPKbq78SOyWzsIK-MWrZG4f4-oGQdCem062~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Police Chief Brian Morrison told the council that the Auburn Police Department saw an overall decrease in crime in 2024, while responding quickly to emergencies and increasing community engagement.

“Through their tireless efforts, unwavering dedication, to serve the community of Auburn, we all experienced an overall decrease in crime while, increasing community interactions,” Chief Morrison said as he opened the 2024 annual report.

Morrison said the department handled 20,758 calls for service in 2024. Dispatchers and records staff together handled approximately 27,444 total calls, including 3,586 9‑1‑1 calls, according to the presentation. The department reported 1,243 criminal cases authored by staff in 2024. Chief Morrison presented year‑over‑year decreases in several categories: crimes against society (including DUIs and disorderly conduct) decreased about 59 percent in the reported metric referenced; crimes against property decreased about 41 percent; crimes against persons decreased about 17 percent. Arrest totals also declined: total arrests were down about 14 percent, felony arrests about 25 percent and misdemeanor arrests about 8 percent.

Morrison highlighted response‑time performance: average response to priority‑1 (emergency) calls was 4 minutes, 42 seconds from call entry to officer arrival; priority‑2 calls averaged 4 minutes, 56 seconds; and priority‑3 calls averaged 9 minutes, 17 seconds. He noted that these figures measure the full interval from call entry through dispatch and arrival.

The presentation reviewed department programs and investments: the records and dispatch teams completed roughly 847 public records requests and 1,700 case routings to the district attorney’s office; volunteers and reserves supported approximately 20 community events and helped collect nearly 946 pounds of prescription drugs in two take‑back events; 221 hours of foot patrols were recorded; and 2 school resource officers covered Placer High School, Evie Kane and Sky Ridge, with one SRO funded after a grant expiration.

On technology, Chief Morrison said the department replaced obsolete body cameras with Axon devices after securing grant funding, and installed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras through Flock Safety; ALPRs read about 19,000 plates in 2024 and contributed to multiple arrests of individuals associated with stolen vehicles and other investigations. The department also began a phased replacement of aging radio equipment to migrate onto the Placer County radio network; 4 portable radios were purchased with a Cal/OSHA grant award that Chief Morrison said totaled $45,000.

On homeless outreach and code enforcement, the chief credited Community Service Officer (CSO) Rhonda (referred to in the report as CSO Williams/Williamson in different slides) with proactively contacting people experiencing homelessness; the department reported 668 homelessness‑related incidents in 2024, of which 44 camps were cited or tagged for abatement. The department’s chronic‑homeless count reported in the presentation dropped from 26 (February 2023) to 19 (2024) and was reported as low as 14 in 2025 to date.

Council members praised response times and volunteers and asked follow‑up questions about traffic enforcement, school SRO staffing, radio replacement and use of camera systems. Chief Morrison noted limitations in dedicated traffic‑enforcement staffing — traffic enforcement is handled as an ancillary duty by patrol officers and directed monthly — and said the department would continue directed enforcement in collision hot spots such as Grass Valley Highway and El Dorado Street.

Council members also affirmed that station building repairs and replacement of radio and desktop equipment are being coordinated with the city manager for possible inclusion in capital and technology plans. The chief closed by recognizing staff awards and volunteers.

No formal action on department policy or budget was taken during the presentation; the report was received by the council and staff will follow up on infrastructure and equipment needs.","Police Chief Brian Morrison reported a year‑over‑year drop in most crime categories in 2024, rapid average response times for emergency calls, expansion of ALPR cameras and new Axon body cameras, and continued focus on homelessness outreach and school resource officers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272251,"Regional economic group says Auburn’s $5,000 investment yielded a 13:1 tax return; urges small high-quality space to attract firms",1409,916000,2325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3027994-b85056faa021f52bb30c319c845bfd5a&start=916&end=2325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3027994-b85056faa021f52bb30c319c845bfd5a/thumbnail_916000.jpg","/articles/6272251/Auburn/Placer-County/California/Regional-economic-group-says-Auburns-5000-investment-yielded-a-131-tax-return-urges-small-high-quality-space-to-attract-firms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272251-8c168ce1590451be626bd63777f70975/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445631&Signature=XwIvMTEZHMuwcfFMRIwgrffXMx5G7RpibhIpTaWhrjXS-0nXFg6O5roAO0yIHRw92f6rm~VBdvniv8EwaqEzhF7YMtg4bk8lT6zrFm2i6FTFKmL~LnCIAlHj5puiYqYf-qbkrVI0pBcRxDvkKkeedOl5EZJiQBjxZd78TDTB0l0fRgvj60-EjReFGatxbF3N5w7n6Sk-uvw9hHxg3t75Uv4VBo~satCC1OguVuRKPDPuJT1f9ej292wuaysTfj30NTxRLvAFrv~0jPnGwpB4MZ5PqOmOplECqCWQtz1OGVkaoE17mgQJoF-flxraiavoDy9LX3kPuc748YRUNlsW7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Charles Adrian, executive vice president of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, told the Auburn City Council that the regional business-attraction organization has delivered measurable returns for small investor cities, including Auburn.

Adrian said Auburn’s roughly $5,000 annual investment in the council produced about $70,000 in tax revenue through regional relocations and expansions — an estimated return on investment of roughly $13 for every dollar invested. “We are the regional economic development organization here for the Greater Sacramento market, covering six counties,” Adrian said, describing the council’s role in marketing the region and helping companies with site selection, incentives and talent connections.

The council presented context on how regional marketing and coordinated services produce deal flow and recommended specific actions Auburn can take to capture more projects. The presentation emphasized market research completed through the council’s new Market Velocity program, which assessed municipal readiness and deal opportunities across investor communities.

Adrian highlighted three market realities relevant to Auburn: first, much inbound demand to the Auburn submarket seeks relatively small, high‑quality spaces — the average deal size in the Auburn submarket is about 5,000 square feet; second, permitting speed, incentives alignment and available amenities matter more than a single low price; and third, Auburn’s outdoor‑recreation assets give it a niche advantage the city can exploit in marketing and by enabling company storefronts or ‘point‑of‑sale’ locations to capture sales tax revenue.

Jonathan Wright, Auburn’s community and economic development director, told council members the city has already worked with the council on research cases and expects the Market Velocity assessment delivered to Auburn will help staff prioritize permitting and building types. Council members asked about industry targets; Adrian cited semiconductors, cleantech (including batteries and hydrogen), bioscience and outdoor‑recreation brands as active sectors in the regional pipeline.

Council members and staff discussed next steps: making permitting and incentive processes ready for smaller, high‑quality employers; identifying sites that can be demised to 5,000‑square‑foot tenants; and pursuing marketing ties to outdoor‑recreation businesses. Jonathan Wright will retain the full Market Velocity report and is the staff contact for follow‑up.

The presentation concluded with council members thanking the Greater Sacramento Economic Council for the report and noting the city’s interest in scaling economic development work into the coming year.","The Greater Sacramento Economic Council told Auburn council members the city’s modest investor contribution generated about $70,000 in tax revenue and recommended focusing on 5,000-square-foot “demisable” spaces, permitting speed and outdoor-recreation industry recruitment to capture more business relocations and expansions.","actionData","errors"]
