Subject
Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
Since the staff report for Item 7.22 was published, there are two items that require updates :
• The APN listed for 9200 Meadow Grove was incorrect. Instead, it should be 134 -0304-001. An updated resolution is attached, and changes have been made to the supporting documents (Exhibits B4 and C4).
• The County provided new information on the recording fees for the Substitution of Trustee and Deed of Reconveyance documents (Exhibits C1 -C6). They are subject to a $20 recording fee pursuant to Government Code Section 27361.3. The Exhibits that will be filed with the Sacramento County Recorder will reflect this.

Dear Mayor Singh-Allen & Elk Grove City Council,
I am writing this letter in support of Agenda Item 8.2 for the City Council meeting on December 13, 2023. The fees at the Elk Grove Aquatic Center were last increased in 2021, just as we entered into the third season of operation. Since that time, the California minimum wage has seen a 14% increase. As costs continue to rise, it is incumbent upon both of our agencies to collaborate in order to provide top notch services at reasonable prices to our diverse community.
The Cosumnes Community Services District is fully in support of the fees as proposed.
Sincerely,
Traci Farris, CPRP
Parks & Recreation Administrator
Cosumnes Community Services District
