At a regular meeting on December 8, 2011, the Citrus Heights City Council elected Jeff Slowey as mayor and Steve Miller as vice mayor for the next twelve months. (2012)

Each year, in December, the City Council selects one of its members to serve a one-year term as mayor and vice mayor. Jeff Slowey was elected to the City Council in November 2008, for a four-year term. Steve Miller was elected to the City Council in November 2010, for a four-year term.

Medical Marijuana Facilities in Citrus Heights - YES or NO??

On January 25^th, the Planning Commission will be considering a proposal from the City Attorney’s office that would prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries in Citrus Heights. The proposed ordinance, prohibiting medical marijuana facilities, will be available for public review by January 11^th. Following the Planning Commission’s discussion, the City Council will consider the proposal. The City Council meeting is tentatively set for February 9^th.

In the Sacramento Bee indicated that we did have one on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights in area 7/8. They showed a map of all the facilities in Sacramento County and there it was in Citrus Heights.  But how could that be??? We have never been sent information on a business going in for this purpose and I would receive it since I am adjacent to 7/8. For some reason I was under the impression that we already had something in place that said, "NO medical marijuana facilities" in Citrus Heights- even it is only a temporary item. I remember being told that through our Neighborhood Meeting . I am shocked!

I was hoping to be at the meeting, but looking at my schedule, if the meeting is in the evening I will NOT be able to make it. However, I have already sent comments by email to Colleen Mcduffee.  I hope that more of the residents of Citrus Heights will be attending.
