Citrus Heights council adopts CDBG action plan, building/fire‑code amendments and authorizes pavement design contract
Summary
Council adopted the Community Development Block Grant 2026 Annual Action Plan, approved second‑reading ordinances amending building and fire codes, and authorized a professional services agreement with REY Engineers for 2026–27 pavement preservation; all motions passed by voice vote.
Citrus Heights — At its Nov. 12 meeting, the City Council approved several formal items by unanimous voice vote: the 2026 Community Development Block Grant Annual Action Plan, two municipal code amendments affecting building and fire regulations (second reading), and a professional services agreement for design work on the 2026–27 pavement preservation program.
Staff presented details for each item. Nicole Piva, housing and human services coordinator, outlined the recommended CDBG allocations: approximately $90,000 directed to public services (including Campus Life Connection, senior nutrition and food bank support) and roughly $390,000 to ADA and sidewalk improvements connected with pavement preservation projects. The council opened and closed the public hearing with no public testimony and adopted the resolution authorizing the city manager to execute HUD documents.
Casey Kempner, community development director, summarized the code amendments aimed at reducing regulatory burdens for reoccupancy and streamlining building and fire requirements. Council moved and passed motions labeled motion A and motion B on second reading.
Regina Cave, general services director, presented the city’s expanded two‑year pavement preservation plan and recommended executing a professional services agreement with REY Engineers to provide design, traffic engineering and stormwater work for the resurfacing packages, which include major arterials such as Greenback Lane and Sylvan Road. Council authorized the city manager to finalize the agreement.
