Dear Residents and Visitors:
On behalf of my fellow City Council Members, I'd like to welcome you to the City of Citrus Heights award-winning Web site. I encourage you to take some time to visit the various sections on our Web site so you too can discover what makes our community unique and special.
I have served on the Citrus Heights City Council since the City's incorporation on January 1, 1997. I can tell you first-hand that this is one of the most community-focused and friendly cities in the Sacramento Metropolitan region. I encourage everyone to get involved in your local City's events, activities, and programs in order to explore areas where you can make an impact. Click here for more information.
It is also important to note that the City of Citrus Heights continues to be a financially solid entity, with reserve funds and a high standard for operational efficiency. Given the current economic climate, many cities are faced with declining sales-tax revenues, and Citrus Heights is no exception. However, with our steadfast dedication to our residents and businesses, the City of Citrus Heights will continue to reinvest in our community and move forward to achieve our long-range goals. Click here for more information on the City's Current Fiscal Year Budget.
Over the past year, the City has celebrated several major milestones, including: the completion of the widening of Greenback Lane; statewide and national recognition with Second Place awards for the City's Connections newsletter; construction began on the state-of-the-art Citrus Heights Community Center located adjacent to the Civic Complex; and the kick-off of the Antelope Road Widening Project. Many more projects continue to be in the works and the City is looking toward the future with excitement and anticipation. The City is planning positive changes on the horizon which will have a lasting effect on the everyday lives of our residents and business community.
As the City Council, we are proud to represent the local citizens. We welcome your input and suggestions on how we can continue to improve the quality of life in our fine city. Feel free to contact me or any of my fellow City Council Members directly by accessing the Contact Us pages.
Sincerely,
Jayna Karpinski-Costa
