Legislative & Government Affairs
There are two major elements of the city's Legislative Program: funding and assistance and issue advocacy.
Funding & Assistance
During the first 25 years of incorporation, the city has maintained successful partnerships with its local, federal, and state representatives. These partnerships have resulted in obtaining federal and state funding to support essential capital projects and community programs and cut red tape with federal agencies to facilitate economic development. Examples of projects and programs that have received federal and state assistance include:
- Construction of the city's new Police Service Center
- Deployment of a special Police Drug Enforcement and Education Unit
- Federal agency review and approval to support the development of the Stock Ranch property
- Replacing overhead utility lines with underground lines along Auburn Boulevard
- Revitalization of the Sayonara Drive neighborhood
- Revitalization of the Sunrise MarketPlace, an important commercial area in the city
Issue Advocacy
The Citrus Heights Legislative and Government Affairs program prioritizes and acts on potential legislation that:
- Aligns with the City’s mission, vision, and values
- Supports the City’s current strategic goals
- Advances the City’s core pillars of local control, fiscal prudence, and public safety
- Is consequential to city operations and service to residents
- Is detrimental to the City's ability to manage financial resources, revenue sources, zoning, and land use issues
The Program also coordinates action and responds to potential legislation related to City priorities, including review, comment, and position on bills.
