CLOSED SESSION None. PRESENTATIONS/ANNOUNCEMENTS 4.1 Introduction to SacramentoGo, the Sacramento Transportation Authority's community outreach and opinion research program on transportation needs and priorities in Sacramento County. Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) Executive Director Brian Williams gave a presentation on the SacramentoGO Program addressing the future of transportation funding in the region. The STA administered Measure A, the countywide half cent sales tax program to serve transportation needs. He provided examples of funding allocated to Elk Grove in the past five years including $17 million for local road maintenance, a combined $45 million to deliver the Sheldon Road and Grant Line Road interchanges, $10 million for efforts on the Capital Connector, and over $30 million to Sacramento Regional Transit to extend the light rail Blue Line further towards Elk Grove. STA has concerned over the future of transportation funding for the region, noting Measure A was designed to leverage other local, state, and federal funds, and several state and Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, January 14, 2015 Page 1of16 federal programs were exhausted or expiring. Though short term extensions had been implemented on some of these sources, the basis of state and federal funding was primarily based on fuel taxes, and those taxes on fuel were less than they were 25 years ago in the face of substantial cost inflation. STA expected state and federal agencies would play a diminished role in transportation funding, placing continued transportation planning and policy making to local and regional decision makers. STA surveyed transportation managers throughout the county regarding unfunded priorities during the next 10-20 years. A primary challenge was the existing backlog to bring major city streets and county roads to an acceptable pavement condition, approaching $600 million countywide (with Elk Grove unfunded needs at approximately $30 million). In current context, Measure A generated $30 million a year for street maintenance countywide, with Elk Grove receiving 11% at approximately $3 million a year to address a $30 million deficit. Another major challenge was funding Sacramento Regional Transit, and though the agency has indicated they have sufficient funds to operate the existing light rail and bus system, maintenance needs were being deferred and plans for expansion could not occur without additional local revenues for capital construction and operations. The STA governing board directed staff to begin the SacramentoGo outreach program to inform county residents of the accomplishments of the existing sales tax program, to explain the extent of unfunded transportation needs in the region, tor receive input from the public on transportation priorities, and to conduct research to determine the willingness of county voters to support a supplemental local transportation funding program that would likely take the form of a countywide sales tax. The SacramentoGO outreach program included a speaker's bureau providing presentations, an informational video, the website wwwsagamentocooy, a voter opinion research / survey program, a signage program at existing capital project sites, and an upcoming social media program. The overall objective of the SacramentoGo project was to raise public awareness of the use of transportation sales tax to date, to prepare a transportation maintenance and capital improvement program, and to gauge interest in a potential future supplemental sales tax ballot initiative in 2016 or later. The SacramentoGO project was an outreach effort, the STA Board had not taken any action to date to pursue a new sales tax. Mr. Williams presented an informational video (filed) Council Member Suen observed that Elk Grove currently contributed $3.5 million towards transit through Measure A, and that those funds went solely to Sacramento Regional Transit (though Elk Grove provided its own transit service). Mr. Suen inquired ifa allocation to Elk Grove transit service was included in discussions of future funding Mr. Williams noted the current outreach effort was to ensure participants felt they were being treated fairly and that revenues generated would be proportioned equitably. He was aware of the issue raised by Mr. Suen and that the issue was under discussion. on the SacramentoGO outreach program. options. PUBLIC COMMENT Lynn Wheat commended the example of the city of Scottsdale, Arizona as a master planned community. She expressed dismay that the site of the Silverado Village Project approved last year was not considered for a wildlife preserve. Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, January 14, 2015 Page2of16 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION. INFORMATION City Manager Laura Gill reviewed the January 14, 2015 Administrative Report (filed). Police Chief Robert Lehner addressed crime in the community, noting the recent attempted kidnapping incident, and shared recent crime statistics providing a preliminary analysis of crime in Elk Grove in relation to state and nationwide trends, offering reassurance that by all measures, statistically speaking, Elk Grove remained a very safe place to live. He noted Elk Grove did experience an increase in crime rates this cycle, a departure for the City which had seen numbers consistently decrease in past years. Primary increases were seen in property crime, and violent crimes were up focused in two categories of robberies (which were increasing nationwide) and aggravated assault (mostly consisting of domestic violence cases). Chief Lehner stated the relevance of the statistical averages from these reports identified the kinds of risks faced by the community, and provided a gauge to prioritize enforcement strategies and efforts. Elk Grove continued to sustain an overall statistical ranking better than in comparison to cities of comparable size with respect to violent crime averages nationwide, and the property crime rate placed the City solidly into a very much better than average category nationwide. Police Chief Lehner expressed that crime rates would likely increase in the new year for California, primarily due to state policies surrounding public safety realignment and the recently passed Proposition 47 altering criminal sentences and misdemeanor penalties. Police Chief Lehner responded to questions of the City Council as follows: The Elk Grove community was supportive of the Police Department, and though the City did receive threat bulletins to raise officer awareness, Elk Grove did not encounter the level of threat locally as compared to the recent ambush incident The statistics offered insight into the prioritization of funding enforcement programs, such as focused efforts to prevent domestic violence, and though there was an increase in numbers and violent crime, Elk Grove resident's risk of injury was far greater in traffic collisions than as a result of crime; The Police Department would be compiling data to compare if individuals perpetrating crimes were Elk Grove residents or were from outside the City; AR Request for Proposals had been released for a police staffing study; Crime statistics for Elk Grove were accessible online at www.cimerepors.com, and resources such as registered sex offender listings could be accessed online that claimed the lives of public safety officers in New York; as well. Mayor Davis suggested further partnering with local nonprofit organizations specializing ina assisting victims of domestic violence.

He stated he did not attend the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District Board of Directors meeting as he was attending funeral services. Mr. Hume received clarification from staff on accessing the economic development incentive program, and requested a future agenda item, and received City Council consensus, to review City codes regarding lighting on signs and buildings of businesses, noting the example of a nuisance complaint received regarding a business utilizing excessive, flashing lights. Council Member Suen commended the partnership of the Police Department and the Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department for providing a warming center for residents.

The proposed project was a rezone from AR-5 to AR-2, including a tentative subdivision map and design review for the layout of the subdivision to divide a parcel into six lots on a private well and septic system. The project included an abandonment of existing right-of-way, and was the remainder parcel of a previous project approved (Sandage Estates in 2005). The applicant expressed concern over Condition 20 that required the project to widen Sandage Avenue to be 20 feet wide for safety concerns (extending the current road width of 17 feet by three feet along a 650 foot portion of the southerly half section of the right-of-way). Mayor Davis declared the public hearing open. Dennis Barksdale of Claybar Engineering, representing the applicant, requested elimination of Condition 20, believing the road had functioned properly for over 30 years, and with a narrower road it would function to decrease speeds. Mr. Barksdale noted receiving calls from the neighbors to the south expressing concern as to what effects the road widening would have on their frontage and property drainage. PUBLIC COMMENT Eileen Conwell voiced support that the road be widened as proposed under Condition 20. She believed the four southerly property owners supported the road widening, but were primarily concerned about drainage. Sandage Avenue had seen much development over the years with more houses and lots to the west, with all traffic coming in and out of Sandage Avenue, and widening the road would be beneficial for Bill Vandegrift did not raise issues with the subdivision itself, but expressed concern about a remaining Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) east of the project site.

Mr. Wilson provided clarification of the current location of the IOD, and how safety purposes. he had questions about the remaining IOD and its current location. the remaining IOD would provide for future circulation in the area. The project applicant had no closing comments. Mayor Davis declared the public hearing closed.
