Wondering what’s going on in Citrus Heights this week? From community events to city council and planning commission meetings, there’s a lot going on around town.
This week’s local activities offer a variety of free options, with the annual Pet-a-Palooza event expected to draw thousands of pets and people to Rusch Park on Saturday, along with the Citrus Town Center’s family-fun Spring Celebration and Metro Fire’s CPR training at the Sunrise Mall.
Those hoping to make it to all three events may encounter some scheduling difficulties, as all of them are planned for the same day: April 25.
Pet-a-Palooza will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, while the two-hour Spring Celebration is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. and the nearby CPR training offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. On an event flier, Metro Fire says participants can learn how to save a life “in just 5 minutes,” so it shouldn’t be hard to squeeze in a quick trip if you’re trying to make it to multiple events.

There’s also two events this Friday, with Sacramento County Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan inviting residents to her 7:30 a.m. monthly “Community Cabinet Meeting” at the Citrus Heights Denny’s, and Gun Owners of California holding its annual crab feed at the Citrus Heights Community Center beginning at 5:30 p.m.

For those interested in local government, the Citrus Heights Planning Commission will be meeting this Wednesday at 7 p.m., and the city council will meet the following evening.
Planning commission members will hold several public hearings concerning electronic signs at Antelope Crossing, development of 23 residential lots at Sunrise Boulevard and Lawrence Avenue, and a Design Review Permit for a new Applebee’s on Auburn Boulevard. Commissioners will also be asked to approve a staff update to the City’s 5-year Capital Improvement Program.

Prior to its usual 7 p.m. meeting, City Council members will be holding a public study session at 6 p.m. on Thursday to assess a salvage plan for city hall, in light of the council’s recent approval for a new city hall and medical office building.

The council will also be asked to receive and file the City’s Quarterly Treasurer’s Report and authorize the city manager to apply for Homeless Veterans Support Program Funding. An annual report from the Sunrise Marketplace is also on the agenda, as well as consideration of a commercial lease agreement for an Auburn Boulevard property.
