After adjourning the study session on Thursday, councilmembers will hold their regular meeting at 7 p.m., beginning with a special presentation by the California Police Chiefs Association in recognition of Citrus Heights Police Chief Christopher Boyd for serving as the group’s president for the past year. The council is also scheduled to adopt a new 2015-16 budget, with “total appropriated expenses” proposed at just over $65 million. The budget reflects a $1.2 million increase in Sales and Use Tax revenues, as well as a $493,000 increase from Motor Vehicle License Fee revenues, according to a City staff report.
