    By Sara Beth Williams–
    Citrus Heights leaders reported continued progress in community relations, public safety, and fiscal stability during the annual State of the City Address held on Nov. 6.

    During the address, Mayor Jayna Karpinski-Costa and City Manager Ash Feeney maintained a tone of positivity, optimism, and gratitude throughout their messages to the community, noting declines in crime alongside a balanced budget and increased efforts in community and business engagement.

    Both thanked business leaders, local and regional partners, city council members, and city staff and leaders by name for their leadership and hard work helping the city advance its goals.

    “Their work embodies what it means to serve with pride and purpose,” Karpinski-Costa said.

    In her message, Karpinski Costa laid out multiple accomplishments in community engagement and stronger business recognition and support, including the implementation of an Economic Development Work Plan, a “Love Local” social media campaign that has helped highlight businesses, various grants awarded to businesses and nonprofits, the launch of Neighborhood Association Awareness month, the establishment of an official Arts District on Auburn Boulevard, inaugural events such as “Citrus Nights,” and inaugural participation in The Big Day of Service.

    Karpinski-Costa also highlighted future endeavors, including bringing FieldHaven Feline Center to Citrus Heights, and outlined some of the progress and intentional planning the city has done in order to advance redevelopment plans for the Sunrise Mall property.

    The mayor reaffirmed the city and community’s vision for the Sunrise Tomorrow redevelopment plan and refreshed the community on the purpose and impact of the council’s study trip to Lakewood, Colorado, to visit the Belmar Shopping District.

    “[The Belmar Mall] was torn down and rebuilt into an urban village, generating substantial cash flow to the city and demonstrating to us what the Sunrise Tomorrow plan could be,” the mayor said.

    Feeney also touched on the “once-in-a-generation” redevelopment opportunity and impact the future development of the Sunrise Mall site will have on future residents. The city manager spoke honestly but optimistically regarding the fines levied against the property, and the proactive steps the city is taking to prepare the property for future reinvestment.

    In his portion of the address, Feeney outlined the city’s accomplishments in relation to fiscal stability and public safety, highlighting the city’s balanced budget, downward trends in crime and homelessness encampments, and the rise in proactive public safety efforts.

    Feeney reported that the Citrus Heights Police Department reestablished their Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) Unit in January, allowing for more proactive enforcement. Drug-related arrests have increased by 83 percent from 2023 to 2024 and by an additional 19 percent so far in 2025, Feeney said, while illegal camping-related incidents have decreased by 44 percent.

    “Public safety remains central to the identity and the quality of life here in Citrus Heights,” Feeney said.

    Feeney also highlighted ongoing local endeavors, such as the Citrus Heights Veterans Memorial Project, which continues to advocate for and raise funds toward the construction of a permanent Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Citrus Heights. The long vision for the site of the memorial wall also includes additional memorials honoring servicemen in other wars and conflicts.

    “Just as we honor our past, we’re also investing in our future,” Feeney said.

    During the evening, Byers Gymnastics was the first business to receive a quarterly award from the city in its inaugural Business Distinction Awards program. The awards program seeks to highlight businesses quarterly based on popular vote that reflect various themes. This quarter’s theme involved civic pride.

    The city also recognized its first annual Chip-In Volunteer Award to Janet Harry, who was given the award in April during Volunteer Appreciation Week.

  • Citrus Heights Mayor joins multi-jurisdictional conversation on homelessness

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    Citrus Heights officials gathered together with Sacramento County, city, and other local electeds, along with hundreds of attendees, for a joint county-city session to address homelessness and behavioral health issues in the county.

    The meeting was held at the Sacramento Public Library on Oct. 28, and no official action items were listed in the hours-long meeting agenda.

    The joint session, which Sacramento Board of Supervisors Chair Phil Serna called “historic,” brought together 20 elected officials, including the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, the Sacramento City Council, and mayors and city officials from each city within the county, including Citrus Heights Mayor Jayna Karpinski-Costa, City Manager Ash Feeney, and other city staff.

    Throughout the day, officials heard presentations from various officials and organizations, including the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, Sacramento Steps Forward, Sacramento County Behavioral Health, and directors from each city’s housing services division, before joining in a facilitated discussion on what next steps to take.

    During the discussion on the potential for future shared governance to address homelessness in Sacramento County, Karpinski-Costa said she did not think Citrus Heights needed to participate in shared governance but added that she would like to confer with the rest of the Citrus Heights City Council before issuing a final decision on participation.

    Karpinski-Costa emphasized that Citrus Heights has set its focus on affordable housing, as well as homelessness prevention, through recently awarding the Citrus Heights Homeless Assistance Resource Team with $40,000 to help with their rental assistance program.

    During the meeting, Citrus Heights Housing and Services Program Coordinator Nicole Piva provided an overview of how Citrus Heights is addressing homelessness within its city limits. Piva outlined ongoing partnerships with Sacramento County and local nonprofits, highlighted the work of the Beautification Crew, and reported on the completion of Sunrise Pointe, the city’s first affordable housing complex in more than two decades. Additional housing projects in the works include the redevelopment of the Auburn Oaks site into 88 units and ongoing construction of 26 single-family affordable homes on Sayonara Drive.

    Many officials concurred that more affordable housing options should be one of the top priorities for addressing current homelessness and helping to prevent homelessness.

    In response to Karpinski-Costa’s hesitancy, several other elected officials said the homelessness crisis required urgent and coordinated action, particularly as temperatures drop heading into winter. Sacramento Mayor Pro Tem Eric Guerra and Galt Mayor Shawn Farmer both emphasized the importance of all of the entities working together.

    Sacramento City Councilmember Caity Maple said there have been multiple Grand Jury reports over the years that have recommended a Joint Powers of Authority be formed to address homelessness. Farmer said smaller jurisdictions still should maintain a seat at the table, as decisions made by larger cities can significantly impact smaller communities.

    Sacramento Steps Forward, the nonprofit agency that coordinates regional homelessness efforts, strongly encouraged the development of a regional task force that would be able to more quickly and effectively address homelessness. The Sacramento District Attorney’s office also expressed support for returning the Homeless Services and Response Agency to local authority, stating that greater collaboration between local governments could improve safety and accountability.

    At the conclusion of the discussion, prior to public comment, all officials were asked by facilitators from Mosaic Solutions and Advocacy whether they were willing to continue pursuing the formation of a multi-governmental body to address homelessness and behavioral health. All representatives said yes, some emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Karpinski-Costa’s answer to the question was “to be determined.”

    Karpinski-Costa did not respond to a request for comment following the meeting on Oct. 28.

  • Election Day sees steady voter traffic at Citrus Heights vote centers

    Vote Here Sign. Special Election Day, 11-4-25

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    Residents could be seen lined up outside of the Citrus Heights Event Center on Election Day, held Tuesday, Nov. 4 for the 2025 Special Election. Voting inspectors at both the Citrus Heights Event Center and Edify Church said voter turnout had been good so far within the first two hours of the centers being open Tuesday.

    Shawnda Hatfield, voting inspector at the Citrus Heights Event Center, which opened Oct. 25 for in-person voting, said the number of voters steadily increased from Oct. 25 through the weekend and into Tuesday morning, but that election day had so far seen the most voting activity.

    Clerk Shawn Cali0uette and voting inspector Mike Sheeley at Edify Church said that voting traffic typically peaks on election day at the church’s location, with many of the voters coming from the surrounding neighborhoods. Both Sheeley and Cali0uette have served at Edify Church for five election cycles and said the atmosphere of this election day has felt more neutral and less politicized.

    Cali0uette said there was a steady stream of people coming in to vote and that there were multiple residents also coming in to drop off their ballots.

    Both locations have secure ballot drop boxes for mail-in ballots and offer both paper voting and touch screen voting. Hatfield explained that touch screen voting is exactly the same as voting by paper and that after an individual votes using the touch screen, the ballot is printed off and placed into a secure bag, along with all other paper ballots.

    Cali0uette explained that the touch screen machine is not connected to the internet, and serves as a printer to print off a ballot after it’s been filled out. Touch screen machines are helpful for those with disabilities who have difficulty using a paper ballot. Caliouette acknowledged that the older generation does prefer voting by paper.

    In Citrus Heights, two locations are open Tuesday until 8 pm for voting in person, and multiple locations also still offer secure ballot drop-off boxes for voters who want to drop off their mail-in ballot.

    In-person voting centers:

    • Citrus Heights Event Center, 6300 Fountain Square Drive:
      Election Day, Nov. 4, from 7 a.m.–8 p.m.
      Spanish language assistance available on-site.
    • Edify Church, (formerly Citrus Heights Fellowship) located at 7405 Mariposa Ave.
      Election day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. No language assistance will be available.

    Ballot Drop boxes: 

    • Citrus Heights City Hall, located at 6360 Fountain Square Drive has an official ballot drop off box open 24 hours a day. The ballot box will close officially at 8 p.m. on Election Day.

  • New survey on trash and recycling services open

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    The City of Citrus Heights launched a new FlashVote survey on Tuesday seeking resident feedback about current trash and recycling services throughout the community.

    The short, 48-hour survey asks participants to share their opinions on the value, quality, and reliability of their weekly waste collection services. Questions include how residents rate their satisfaction with garbage, recycling, and organics pickup in relation to the amount they pay each month.

    Residents are also asked to identify what type of home they live in, and to share how often they use additional waste-related services provided at no extra cost. These services include options such as extra cardboard recycling, free compost pickup at designated locations, used oil and household battery recycling, leaf bag collection, and bulky waste pickup.

    The survey invites respondents to select all applicable services their household has used within the past year. Participants are then asked to offer suggestions on what they would change about existing trash and recycling services and to provide any additional comments related to waste management in Citrus Heights.

    City officials use FlashVote surveys as a tool for gathering quick community input on specific topics. Each survey remains open for 48 hours and typically includes a small number of multiple-choice questions, with space for short written feedback. Residents who sign up for FlashVote receive notifications by email or text message whenever a new survey opens.

    According to the city, survey results are anonymous, and all data collected helps inform future city decisions about service contracts, programs, and community priorities. Feedback from this survey will assist city staff and elected officials in evaluating how current waste collection services are performing and identifying opportunities for improvement.

    Residents can participate in the survey by visiting the FlashVote link on the City of Citrus Heights website or signing up at FlashVote.com. The survey will remain open for 48 hours from its launch on Tuesday before closing.

    FlashVote surveys have become a regular part of the city’s community engagement strategy since their introduction several years ago. Previous surveys have gathered input on topics such as road maintenance, code enforcement, public safety, and shopping habits. City officials have said that the quick-response format helps them make decisions based on real-time community feedback.

  • Proactive code enforcement activity rises sharply in Citrus Heights, police report

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    The Citrus Heights Police Department’s Code Enforcement team has more than doubled its proactive enforcement efforts over the last two years, according to officials.

    In an update to the Citrus Heights City Council in October, Sgt. William Dunning highlighted the department’s enforcement team’s proactive efforts and reported that the team has seen major gains in both proactive enforcement and overall enforcement activity.

    From 2023 to 2024, total code enforcement incidents rose by 41 percent, from 2,204 to 3,100. Proactive inspections more than doubled during that period, increasing 127 percent from 533 cases to 1,211 cases. Citizen-generated complaints also rose 13 percent, from 1,671 to 1,889.

    The number of cases opened tripled, up 329 percent from 24 in 2023 to 103 in 2024, while cases closed also increased over 300 percent, from 24 to 100.

    Comparing data for the first nine months of 2024 and 2025, the trend toward proactive enforcement continued, Dunning said. Total incidents rose 24 percent, from 2,327 in 2024 to 2,890 in 2025. Proactive inspections surged 144 percent, from 867 last year through September, to 2,117 so far this year through September. In contrast, citizen-generated complaints dropped 47 percent, from 1,460 to 773.

    The number of cases opened jumped 153 percent year-over-year, from 60 in 2024 to 152 in 2025.

    Dunning said the most common code violations involved neglected landscaping, trash and debris, and graffiti, and shared several before and after photos of cleaned-up graffiti, and weed abatement efforts.

    The increases in proactivity and calls to service are due to the departmental shift in from a complaint-based code enforcement model to a proactive enforcement model over the last two years, Dunning said. As part of its transition to a more proactive based approach, the department has established code enforcement teams in specific beats or commercial corridors areas within the city, and has also initiated monthly proactive calls to service for specific high-need areas in the city.

    In addition to reviewing recent accomplishments, Dunning outlined upcoming initiatives. The department is currently reviewing and preparing amendments to the city’s food vendor ordinance with the goal of enhancing the local shopping experience and supporting “shop local” efforts.

    Dunning also reported that the department is in the research phase of amending the ordinance governing massage establishments. The proposed updates are intended to help prevent illicit business activity and align with the city’s ongoing anti-human trafficking initiatives.

  • Citrus Heights Police complete $300k communications center remodel

    Citrus Heights Police complete $300k communications center remodel

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    The Citrus Heights Police Department has completed a major Emergency Communications Center Remodel Project, finishing work ahead of schedule.

    The project, led by Molokai Electric, LLC, was first approved by the City Council on May 14. City staff have since confirmed that all items of work are complete and the facility has been field accepted.

    In June 2022, the City Council allocated $600,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to upgrade critical equipment and infrastructure in the Emergency Communications Center, which houses the city’s dispatch operations. The city collaborated with consultants to design construction plans, coordinate with utilities, and integrate specialty technology and furnishings.

    Work began on May 27, 2025, starting with demolition and followed by a series of upgrades including new flooring and interior painting, structural modifications to support new technology, electrical, communications, plumbing improvements, acoustic wall treatments, LED lighting conversions, and coordination with vendors for new furniture and fixtures.

    Construction was completed ahead of schedule in mid-July and allowed for installation of dispatch workstations and communications equipment.

    The project’s total construction cost came to $306,000 staying within the Council-approved budget of $309,000.00. The original contract amount was $284,000, with an additional $25,000 contingency for unforeseen changes.

  • Citrus Heights establishes new Arts District

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    The Citrus Heights City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved the formation of an official Citrus Heights Arts District.

    The new Arts District will encompass the stretch of Auburn Boulevard from the Sylvan Community Center to the northern city limits, an area already home to several public murals and creative projects. The designation aims to encourage investment in local art, promote cultural tourism, and strengthen community partnerships while building on recent grassroots efforts by local artists and organizations, according to the city.

    “I am excited,” Vice Mayor Marijane Lopez-Taff said following the unanimous 3-0 vote to approve the Art District’s formation. Mayor Jayna Karpinski-Costa and councilmember Kelsey Nelson were both absent from the Oct. 22 meeting.

    While there is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the district’s creation, staff noted that existing city programs, such as Community Projects Grants, History and Arts Grants, or Neighborhood Improvement Partnership Grants could be leveraged to support future arts initiatives.

    Any additional funding needs for signage, events, or installations would be brought before the council as part of future budget discussions or through external grant opportunities.

    Citrus Heights has increasingly invested in arts and cultural programming over the past few years. The city partnered with the nonprofit Citrus Heights Arts to launch several events and initiatives such as the ArtBeat art and music Festival, supported multiple mural installations along Auburn Boulevard, and recently introduced the Art in City Hall initiative, a pop-up gallery providing local artists with a space to display their work in a public setting.

    In March 2025, staff presented a report exploring ways to further the goal of incorporating arts and culture into the city, inspired in part by a research trip to the 40 West Arts District in Lakewood, Colorado. The 40 West district transformed a once underutilized corridor into a thriving creative hub, according to the city, generating millions in local economic activity and attracting over 100,000 annual visitors.

    Citrus Heights officials say the Auburn Boulevard corridor offers similar potential. Rather than developing a single large-scale project, the city plans to take an incremental, community-driven approach that blends art, design, and partnerships with ongoing revitalization efforts.

    Following months of discussion and research, the City Council’s Arts and Culture Ad Hoc 2×2 Committee recommended the creation of the district and outlined next steps. These include the development of partnerships with local artists, nonprofits, and the Chamber of Commerce, designing a Citrus Heights Arts District logo through a community call for artists, creating a Public Bench Art Program, inviting local businesses to host artist-designed benches and exploring opportunities for state certification as an official cultural district.

    “The Arts District represents the next step in strengthening the city’s identity and connecting people through creativity,” said city staff in their report. “By celebrating local talent and cultivating a sense of place, Citrus Heights can continue to grow as a vibrant and welcoming community.”

  • A look at the new gateway arch planned for Citrus Heights border

    By Sara Beth Williams–
    The construction of a new gateway arch and stoplight at the border between Citrus Heights and Roseville is ongoing, with crews seen Friday on a construction lift continuing progress on pillars that will serve as the foundation for the arch.

    A rendering of the new gateway arch shared with The Sentinel by the city show that the arch will display “Welcome to Citrus Heights” written across the arched top, with one pillar on each side constructed of brick.

    Additionally, each side of the arch will have the city’s logo displayed at the top and signs on each pillar will read “Auburn Boulevard” on one side and “Gateway District” on the opposite side. When driving southbound, drivers will see an historic Lincoln Highway placard according to the rendering, which also shows a tree on each side as well as planter boxes with flowers at the base of each pillar.

    The city also confirmed that a new signal light will be integrated into the gateway arch design, though there are not yet renderings available for the stoplight, and the gateway arch rendering does not include stoplights in its design.

    Underground conduit and stoplight foundation have recently been laid. The signalized light will be located 375 feet south of Whyte Avenue, at the driveway entrances to the Citrus Grove and Tea It shopping centers.

    The main entrance on the Citrus Grove shopping center side has already been modified with some changes, including extending curbs and protecting parking spots to improve future traffic flow and safety. Modifications to the main entrance to the Tea It shopping center are also planned.

    Once the signal is completed, drivers will be able to turn left into and out of both shopping centers using the new traffic signal. Meanwhile, access to Whyte Avenue will remain open, but with some modifications for safety.

    Planned improvements in the second phase of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Street project include undergrounding of overhead utilities, installation of bicycle lanes and wide sidewalks, upgrading traffic signals to meet current standards, increasing safety and visibility through decorative street lighting, beautifying the corridor with new landscaping and trees, replacing old storm drain infrastructure, and enhancing transit stops for ADA compliance.

    Project costs are expected to remain at approximately $35 million, the city reported in its Five-Year Capital Improvement Program report, with $14 million of that cost being spent this year and another $4 million in the following year. The major capital works project is expected to be complete in the fall of 2026.

    The city is no longer hosting weekly drop-in office hours for businesses due to lack of attendance. For those who wish to express concerns or have questions about construction progress, meetings are now held per request and can be scheduled by contacting the Citrus Heights General Services Department.
