Many thanks to the sports enthusiasts that play basketball
every week at the park for putting up new nets at their own
expense! This group of friends and family of Jose and
Maribel of Chief Ct. have been playing basketball each week
for the past couple of years and they help to monitor activities
in the park by their presence. Their group is a positive
influence on our community!

RCCA Board has created a committee to discuss the future impact of
Regional Transit’s proposed light rail service that would connect
downtown Sacramento to the River District, South & North Natomas,
and the Sacramento International Airport with a new line dubbed “Green
Line”. This light rail line will cross the American River and run the rail
system down Truxel Road. The committee will investigate & discuss
what impact this will potentially have on our neighborhood and how we
can communicate our concerns to Regional Transit and the City of
Sacramento. If you are interested in volunteering on the committee or
would like to provide your input for the committee to address Regional
Transit, please contact David Heitz – david@davidheitz.com. Visit
Regional Transit’s website for more detailed information www.sacrt.

The Board is working to keep up with the number of foreclosed or abandoned properties in our
community that have unsightly yards and other, more serious, problems by contacting the banks,
realtors or lending authorities in an effort to keep up the landscaping and prevent break-ins and
damage to the homes.
Recently someone broke into the backyard of an abandoned home one evening and broke off the
water faucet, sending gallons of water into the yard and down the street. Fortunately, a watchful
resident saw the water damage and called authorities to report the problem.
In another incident, people staying in an abandoned home were removed from the property with
their belongings and they spent the night in the front yard. The police were contacted to remove
them from the area.
Please help us to combat such problems by contacting Riverside Management or a member of
the board if you see unauthorized people around abandoned property. If you see suspicious
activity on any of our streets that have abandoned properties, please call the Police.

Did you know that Sacramento’s Regional Transit District is looking into adding 12.8 miles of
light rail service connecting downtown Sacramento to the River District, South & North Natomas,
and the Sacramento International Airport with a new line dubbed “Green Line”.
The first section of the Green Line is under construction. This section of light rail services
downtown Sacramento to Richards Boulevard along 7th Street. The next section is definitely the
“hot potato”! This would involve building a bridge over the American River and running the light
rail system down Truxel Road. Details have not been finalized and Regional Transit is hosting a
series of community review meetings to get feedback & input into creating the overall system
(stations, parking, etc.)
I recently attended a Green Line Community Review held at South Natomas Community Center
Thursday, August 12. The first half of the review focused on Property Values. The four panelists,
included our own Terry Preston, WALKSacramento. The second half of the review focused on
Safety, Crime & Security.
RT is hosting a series of Community Reviews which will be held at the Natomas Crossing
Business Center, 4190 Truxel Road, Suites 102 Wed – Sat, August 25 – 28. Visit Regional
Transit’s website for more detailed information http://www.sacrt.com/.
Sidestepping the issue of whether you are FOR or Against Light Rail … I feel we should prepare
ourselves for the system if it ends up being built. We need to be pro-active and seriously
discuss issues like potentially having a sound wall built along Truxel Road to minimize the
sound impacting our neighborhood, city issuing parking permits to protect our street parking
from Light Rail and the increasing community events held at the Library, Community Center, &
Park, & how do we protect our RCCA community center parking lot on Truxel Road from being
used by non-residents.
Please join me on the RCCA Light Rail Committee to address the concerns of our community
which we can provide Regional Transit in planning the system to have less impact on our
community. Or if you just want to provide me with your input please contact me at
david@davidheitz.com or 916.308.9000.

With the adoption of our new CC&Rs, Nov. 5, 2009, came some slight changes. Here is a
condensed version of how our architectural review and approval process works (for details, see
Article 8 of the CC&Rs).
condensed version of how our architectural review and approval process works (for details, see
Article 8 of the CC&Rs).
- Owners must submit the Home Improvement Application package (available on the
Association website) to the property manager and receive the Architectural Committee's
written approval prior to commencement of changes, additions or improvements to the
exterior of a residence or lot. - Failure to submit an application may result in a fine or other consequences, as
described in the CC&Rs. - The Committee may contact the owner to clarify application details. They may also contact
neighbors when the requested change is visible or affects them. - The Committee will make a final determination of approval or denial (subject to review of
the Board) for each change requested within forty-five (45) days and the property manager
will furnish written approval or disapproval of each change item. - Owners may appeal denied applications within thirty (30) days of the Committee's
disapproval by following the appeal process specified in the CC&Rs. - Work on an approved project shall begin within ninety (90) days of the approval date or on
a later date, if agreed to by the Committee, and must be completed within one (1) year. - With consent of the Board, the Committee has the right to order an owner to stop a home
improvement project that was not pre-approved or does not conform to the approved plan.

- RUST STAINS ON YOUR CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, SIDEWALK OR PATIO?
commercial rust stain removers from your local hardware store or you can try ordinary household
items to do the job.
Lemon juice, which contains acid, is a natural remedy for removing rust stains from concrete and
other hard surfaces. Pour or squeeze undiluted lemon juice on rust stains, and let it sit for
several minutes. If the stains are on the side of a concrete foundation, put lemon juice in a spray
bottle, and spray the rust-covered surface. Use a sturdy bristle brush to scrub the area, and then
rinse the lemon juice away along with the stain.
Another natural solution for rust removal is ordinary household vinegar. Apple cider vinegar and
white vinegar both contain acid. Use either one to aid in the removal of unsightly rust stains.
Either pour or spray undiluted vinegar on the stains, and allow it to set for several minutes. Scrub
the area with a sturdy bristle brush, and rinse the vinegar and stains away.
Remember that lemon juice and vinegar can damage plants, so it shouldn't be sprayed around
planting areas.
