SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11 138 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Serpa Chiropractic, Inc. for the Acquisition of a Drainage Easement at 513 Natoma Street in Relation to the Natoma Street Drainage Improvement Project, ProjectNo. PW1901, State ProjectNo. 5288(047) and
Appropriation of Funds
FROM: Public Works Department

REC TION / CITY COUN ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11138 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Serpa Chiropractic, Inc. for the Acquisition of a Drainage Easement at 513 Natoma Street in Relation to the Natoma Street Drainage Improvement Project, Project No. PW1901, State Project No. 5258(047) and Appropriation of Funds.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In early 2017, the City identified a collapsed segment of the storm drain system that flowed adjacent to Natoma Street between Bridge Street and Scott Street. The alignment of this drainage system weaved in and out of private property with very few access points for maintenance. In September of 2017, City Council authorized construction of Phase 1 to realign the storm drain system to keep it within public right of way as much as possible. Construction of the Phase 1 improvements were completed in April 2018.

During the design of the Phase 1 project, field investigations identified additional pipe offsets and corrosion issues with downstream segments of the storm drain system between Scott Street and Riley Street. Additional deficiencies included that the existing pipe alignment was on private property and there was a lack of access points for necessary inspections and maintenance. The City developed the Natoma Street Drainage Improvement Project Phase 2 to bring the system up to current standards and ensure it functions as designed. Phase 2 of the project installed 1

01/09/2024 Item No.7.
approximately 900 linear feet of new storm drain pipe, abandoned and removed existing failing rio* drain pipe, and added new standard manholes, drain inlets, and an outfall structure.

The alignment of a segment of the new 36-inch storm drain line runs from the Natoma Street persifeiStreet Alley out to Scott Street via a portion of private property located at 513 Natoma Street. There is no viable option to detour the storm drain within existing City right of way due to other existing underground and overhead utility lines that would result in conflicts and additional relocations. ih. ptop.rty owner was notified of the need for the easement early in the design and layout of the project, and through ongoing communication and negotiations has consented to this final agreement.

POLICY / RULE
Acquisition of property rights by the City of Folsom requires City Council approval. Resolution No. 2+{s,adopted on July 18, 1988, authorizes the City Manager to execute an Easement Agreement.

ANALYSIS
The proposed drainage easement is for 443 square feet of a portion of the property's existing parking lot. The drainage easement will not impact the private property from its current use as designated parking. Coordination with the property owner was ongoing throughout the project, and discussions included that the City would resurface and restripe the parking lot in lieu of monetary compensation. Staff coordinated with the project contractor on options and ultimately determined tha-t it was not feasible given construction timelines and weather constraints to perform the work.

The property owner then solicited a bid from a separate contractor to perform the parking lot r"r.ttfuritrg and restriping for a total cost of $9,670. Staff reviewed the bid and determined that it is an acceplable price for ihe work. Similar utility easements recently appraised on properties along Natoma Street for $15 to $20 per square foot, which is generally consistent with the amount requested by the owner and agreed to by staff.

F'INANCIAL IMPACT
The City shall pay an amount not to exceed $9,670 for the acquisition of a Drainage Easement at 513 Natoma Street.

The Natoma Street Drainage Improvement Project, (PWl901) is included in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Plan with a total project budget of $1,880,000. Staff is requesting an appropriation of $9,670 in the Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 448) for the cost of the u"qrriiitio" of the Drainage Easement at 513 Natoma Street. Once authorized the appropriation will increase the total project budget to $1,889,670. Funds are currently available in the Drainage capital lmprovement Fund (Fund 448) for the appropriation. 2 Page 40
01/09/2024 Item No.7.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As part of the design phase, it was determined that construction of this project could be done under a Categorical Exemption classification of the CEQA Guidelines. The CEQANotice of Exemption was filed with the County in March 2021, and no further environmental analysis is required.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 1 ll49 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Westnet, Inc. for Fire Station No. 35 First-In Fire Station Alerting System Upgrades F'ROM: Fire Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTIQN
The Fire Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. I I I49 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Westnet, Inc. for Fire Station No. 35 First-In Fire Station Alerting System Upgrades

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
A key component of fire and medical emergency services dispatching is fire station alerting. Once the information required for an emergency response is gathered and the closest resources are determined, the fire station audio and visual alerts arc activated. An interface between the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and the fire station alert system provides the most efficient method of dispatching emergency resources. Without a fully functioning alerting system, dispatchers must use back up "manual alerting" which takes longer and results in delays in overall response times.

Using the CAD system, the dispatcher enters a dispatch command. The CAD and fire station alert systems are connected to the stations via data connection circuits. The station alert signal activates relays at the stations to ring the station bell, turn on lights at night, and open an audio path from the station radio to the station public address system. The dispatcher then proceeds with a voice dispatch with the details of the emergency response.

All Folsom Fire Stations are equipped with Westnet Alerting Systems along with the entire regional area. Westnet, Inc. has installed a dedicated server at the Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) as part of a region wide purchase to greatly enhance the I

01/09/2024 Item No.8.
capabilities and speed that emergency incidents are dispatched.

POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080, Award of Contracts of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.

Section 2.36.140, Sole Source procurement of the Folsom Municipal Code states prior to submitting a purchase request, the requesting department shall conduct a survey of available sources to determine whether there is only 1 source for the required supply, equipment, service or construction item. After review of this request by the purchasing agent and the finance director and approved by the city manager, a contract shall be awarded without competition. The purchasing agent, or his/her designee, shall conduct negotiations, as appropriate, as to price, delivery and terms. The requesting department shall prepare a waiver of bid and submit it to the purchasing agent for filing with the city clerk. (Ord.723 $ 3 (part), 1991)

ANALYSIS
Fire Department staff did not solicit bids from fire station alerting companies due to Westnet, Inc. being the sole source provider for emergency alerting in the Sacramento region. Department staff received a quote for Fire Stations No. 35 from Westnet, Inc. to include installation, one year of technical support, and an on-site warranty. Fire Department staff has determined that Station No. 35 is a priority for Westnet Alerting System upgrades in the amount of $149,999.00.

The Fire Department has found the quote to be in order and recommends that the contract be awarded to Westnet, Inc. Staff will use the City's standard agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract with Westnet, Inc. would be authorized for $149,999.00 with a SYo contingency amount of $7,499.95 for a total amount not to exceed $157,498.95.

Funds in the amount of $157,498.95 are budgeted and available in the General Fund (Fund 010) as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Fire Department Budget for the upgrade to Station No. 35 Westnet Alerting System.

Waiver of Bid - Westnet First ln Alerting, lnc. - Station 35Subject:

This shall serve as a "Waiver of Bid Notification" for Sole Source procurement for the purchase and installation of station alerting equipment for Fire Station No. 35, as required by Section 2.36.140 of the Folsom Municipal Code.

Secfion 2.36.140, So/e Source procurement of the Folsom Municipal Code sfafes prior to submitting a purchase request, the requesting department shall conduct a survey of avaitabte sources to determine whether there is only 1 source for the required supply, equipment, service or construction item. After review of this request by the purchasing agent and the finance director and approved by the city manager, a contract shall be awarded without competition. The purchasing agent, or his/her designee, shall conduct negotiations, as appropriate, as to price, delivery and terms. The requesting department shall prepare a waiver of bid and submit it to the purchasing agent for filing with the city clerk. (Ord.723 5 3 (paft), 1991)
The Folsom Fire Department along with the regional agencies exclusively utilize Westnet First ln alerting systems in allfire stations. The Sacramento Regional Fire and EMS Communication Center supporting dispatch services for the regional departments communicates directly to each Fire Station by operating a proprietary Westnet Server.

Accordingly, the use of an alerting system other than Westnet at any of our stations would eliminate our dependable emergency alerting ability. Fire Station No. 35 requires an extensive upgrade of the existing Westnet alerting system due to the age and capabilities.

The Fire Department is requesting approval for sole source procurement through Westnet First ln Alerting, lnc. for professional services equipment and installation upgrades to Fire Station No. 35. The Fire Department hereby requests this waiver of bid be approved to remain in effect through the completion of the contract.

The Fire Department has funds budgeted for Fiscal Year 2023-24 tor the installation of station alerting equipment for Fire Station No. 35.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11150 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Westnet, Inc. for Fire Station No. 34 First-In Fire Station Alerting System
FROM: Fire Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Fire Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 11 150 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Westnet, Inc. for Fire Station No. 34 First-In Fire Station Alerting System

BACKGROI IND / ISSIIE
A key component of fire and medical emergency services dispatching is fire station alerting. Once the information required for an emergency response is gathered and the closest resources are determined, the fire station audio and visual alerts are activated. An interface between the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system and the fire station alert system provides the most efficient method of dispatching emergency resources. Without a fully functioning alerting system, dispatchers must use back up "manual alerting" which takes longer and results in delays in overall response times.

Using the CAD system, the dispatcher enters a dispatch command. The CAD and fire station alert systems are connected to the stations via data connection circuits. The station alert signal activates relays at the stations to ring the station bell, turn on lights at night, and open an audio path from the station radio to the station public address system. The dispatcher then proceeds with a voice dispatch with the details of the emergency response.

All Folsom Fire stations are equipped with Westnet Alerting Systems along with the entire regional area. Westnet, Inc. has installed a dedicated server at the Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) as part of a region wide purchase to greatly enhance the 1

01/09/2024 Item No.9.
capabilities and speed that emergency incidents are dispatched.

POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.080, Award of Contracts of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.

Section 2.36.140, Sole Source procurement of the Folsom Municipal Code states prior to submitting a purchase request, the requesting department shall conduct a survey of available sources to determine whether there is only 1 source for the required supply, equipment, service or construction item. After review of this request by the purchasing agent and the finance director and approved by the city manager, a contract shall be awarded without competition. The purchasing agent, or his/her designee, shall conduct negotiations, as appropriateo as to price, delivery and terms. The requesting department shall prepare a waiver of bid and submit it to the purchasing agent for filing with the city clerk. (Ord.723 $ 3 (part), 1991)

ANALYSIS
Fire Department staff did not solicit bids from fire station alerting companies due to Westnet, Inc. being the sole source provider for emergency alerting in the Sacramento region. Department staff received a quote for Fire Station No. 34 from Westnet, Inc. to include installation, one year of technical support, and an on-site warranty.

The Fire Department has found the quote to be in order and recommends that the contract be awarded to Westnet, Inc. Staff will use the City's standard agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract with Westnet, Inc. would be authorized for $119,121.86 with a5Yo contingency amount of $5,956.09 for a total amount not to exceed $125,077.95.

Funds in the amount of $125,077.95 are budgeted and available in The Folsom Plan Area Fire Station No. 34 project (project FD2234). The project is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Plan utilizing impact fees and was approved with Resolution No. 11022 on April 11,2023.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11151 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt, Inc. for the Johnny Cash Trail Cash's Pick No. 1 Project Construction and Appropriation of Funds
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Parks and Recreation Department recommend that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 1 1 151 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with Central Valley Engineering & Asphalt, Inc. for the Johnny Cash Trail Cash's Pick No. 1 Project Construction and Appropriation of Funds.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On October 4, 2014, the City of Folsom proudly opened Phase 1 of the Johnny Cash Trail which included al.2-mile segment of Class I bike trail that connects the Folsom Lake Trail by way of a new bike/pedestrian over-crossing now known as the Johnny Cash Trail Bridge. This phase represented the beginning of the legendary trail with plans to create a world class linear public art experience to honor the legendary man in black and his historical tie with the City of Folsom.

On October 14,2017, the City of Folsom finalized the trail and held a grand opening for the completion of the Johnny Cash Trail that included Robbers' Ravine Bridge that spans over the ravine separating the municipal center and Folsom Prison.

The Johnny Cash Trail Art Experience Master Plan identifies the 2.5 miles oftrail and the eight art experience pieces that will be located along the legendary trail when completed. This 1

01/09/2024 Item No.10.

Master Plan assists in the guiding decisions for the completion of the trail and the iconic eight art pieces that will line the trail.

OnNovember 3, 2017, the City of Folsom and Romo Studios, LLC, went into contractto produce a mold for the "guitar pick" art pieces to be placed on the trail when funds were available. This mold known as Cash's Pick No. I and No. 2 is the first step in preparing this art piece to be placed on the trail when funding was available. The Pick No. I art piece is complete and ready to be installed.

The city has been working with RRM Design Group to complete landscape design, construction drawings,andartexperience placements along the trail for future implementation.

RRM Design Group updated the trail art experience map on August 27,2018, that shows the placement of all eight art pieces and will be the city's guiding reference for Cash's Pick No. 1 and all future art experience pieces. Johnny Cash's Pick No. 1 is located at the western end of the Johnny Cash Trail adjacent to Riley Street/Greenback Lane above the Rainbow Bridge.

This prominent location will be viewed by approximately 20,000 cars per day, as well as many hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists.

This construction project under consideration includes, but is not limited to, clearing and grubbing, placement of concrete paving, decorative sandblasting of paving, installation of a concrete footing and sleeve for the sculpture, a20' diameter cast iron "record deck" which is flush with the concrete paving, and miscellaneous site furnishings. In addition, the selected contractor will coordinate the placement of the bronze pick sculpture (already completed under separate contract) with the artist.

On December 13, 2023, this project was presented to the Arts and Culture Commission for their consideration and recommendation. The Arts and Culture Commission supported the project construction for Cash's Pick No. I and forwarded a recommendation to the Folsom City Council for approval of a resolution to execute a contract with Central Valley Engineering and Asphalt, Inc. for the construction of Cash's PickNo. 1.

Staff recommends extending the existing contract with Terracare for 6 months and that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 11153 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement with Terracare Associates LLC for the Maintenance of Parks, Trails and Pet Stations, Streetscapes/Public Works areas for the City of Folsom.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The City entered into a 2-year maintenance agreement with Terracare Associates in January of 2020 (Contract File No. 172-2120-004). Since that time there have been two amendments to the agreement extending its terms for additional one-year periods, the last of which is set to expire December 3I,2023. Earlier this year staff assembled and posted an RFP advertising the availability of this contract as well as contacted maintenance firms that had expressed interest in the scope of work throughout the contract period. Upon receipt and review of the submitted proposals it became apparent to staff that sufficient funds would not be available in the current fiscal year, and that this work would need to be readvertised with a reduced scope to match the existing available funds. At the December 12, 2023, City Council meeting the council approved Resolution No. 1 Il43 - A Resolution Rejecting All Proposals for Maintenance of Parks, Trails & Pet Stations, and Public Works Areas formally rejecting all submitted bids for these service areas. We then approached our current contractor and discussed what services they may be able to provide for the dollar amount we have available. We were able to come to 1 MEETING DATE: U9t2024

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11153 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the Agreement with
Tenacare Associates LLC for the Maintenance of Parks, Trails and Pet Stations, Streetscapes/Public Works areas for the City of Folsom
FROM: Parks and Recreation Department

01/09/2024 Item No.12.
an agreement on a revised level of service for the remaining 6 months of the current fiscal year that is more in alignment with funds available, this is further described in the analysis section of this report.

POLICY / RULE
In accordance with Chapter 2.36.80 of the Folsom Municipal Code, contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.

ANALYSIS
As described in the background section the city does not currently have sufficient funds to execute a new agreement with our current level of service. In this section, we have outlined the reduction in services that were necessary to get our existing budget to balance with the scope of services rendered under this agreement. These reductions specifically exclude programmable sports fields, focusing solely on general maintenance areas. This reduced service level will also be our starting point as we begin to assemble a revised RFP package that will be completed, posted, and awarded over this 6-month amendment period. The services that will be removed from our existing scope through this amendment and incorporated into our new revised RFP are described below:
o Removing all fertilization requirements, our current specification requires a minimum of 4 applications per year at a rute of 6 lbs. per 1,000 sqft. o Removing broadleaf, and pre-emergent application. Weed control has traditionally been achieved by a combination of pre and post emergents. o Reducing mowing frequency from weekly to Bi-weekly'
o Reducing edging frequency from weekly to monthly.
o Reduce Pruning from seasonally to annually.

Something of note is that as part of our new bid specification, we will be providing a bid sheet that will allow contractors to include costs on the above-described services as ad-alternates so in the case the proposals come in below budget, the city will have the opportunity to incorporate some of the removed or reduced services into the agreement.

IMPACT
Adequate funding for this amendment and the maintenance of the Parks, Trails/Pet Stations, and Public Works Areas is available in the remainder of Fiscal Year 2023-24 inthe General Fund (Fund 010) within the Municipal Landscape Services Division for the amount of $419,132.40, the Parks and Recreation Department's allocation of ARPA funding for the amount of $87,933.00, the Public Works Streets Division for the amount of $38,220.00, and the Environmental Water Resources Department (Fund 520) for the amount of $2,922.00. 2 Page 72

SUBJECT: Resolution No. I 1154 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with Precision Emprise LLC dba Precision Concrete Cutting for the District 2 Sidewalk Offset Repair Project
FROM: Public Works Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Public Works Department recommends that the City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. lll54 - A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Agreement with Precision Emprise LLC dba Precision Concrete Cutting for the District 2 Sidewalk Offset Repair Project

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
One goal of the Public Works Department is to maintain the sidewalks throughout the city in a safe manner. This is accomplished utilizing various inspection methods, ranging from hiring third party firms to conduct thorough inspections of the sidewalk network, receiving notifications from iesidents through SeeClickFix, or being observed by city staff during their daily work assignments.

In November 2022, the City contracted with Precision Emprise LLC, dba Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) to inspect and document the entirety of sidewalks in Council District 2. This inspection identified each sidewalk distress (such as uplifts, cracking, etc.) and provided a report with these findings and repair quantities to the city.

Staff reviewed the findings and determined it would be in the City's best interest to permanently remove and replace all sidewalk locations with an uplift greater than 1.5 inches. This work will be performed through the ongoing On-Call Concrete and Asphalt Maintenance contract with Central Valley Engineering and Asphalt.
1

01/09/2024 Item No.13.

All remaining sidewalk uplifts that are perpendicular to the sidewalk and between 0.5 inches to

1.5 inches tall will be removed as part of this contract through PCC's patented removal process of smooth cutting the lifted concrete. In total, this contract will address 3,101 identified lifts. While this is not a permanent solution to these uplifts, the majority of which are caused by private property ffee roots, these repairs will alleviate the existing tripping hazatds until the funds are available for permanent rePairs.

Pending approval of this contract, these repairs are expected to begin in February 2024 andbe completed by April 2024.

POLICY / RULE
Section 2.36.120 of the Folsom Municipal Code states, in part, that contracts for supplies, equipment, services, and construction with an estimated value of $70,952 or greater shall be awarded by the City Council.

ANALYSIS
precision Concrete Cutting utilizes multiple patented processes for concrete cutting that leaves a smooth surface and reduces the dust associated with these types of repairs. Many other sidewalk uplift repair processes leave a heavily textured surface that does not fully eliminate the uplift and creates excessive dust in the process
Staff is recommending this contract be awarded through Sole Source Procurement in compliance with Section 2.36.140 of the Folsom Municipal Code based on the attached letter identiffing PCC's patented processes. Staff has researched and was unable to find any other companies that perform sidewalk uplift removals through the process of concrete cutting.

Staff will use the Crty's standard Construction Agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The contract with Precision Emprise LLC, dba Precision Concrete Cutting would be authorized for $323,877.94 with the project budgeted for a total of $356,265.73, which will include a ten percent contingency amount of $32,387.79 for potential change orders.

Funds in the amount of 5356,265.73 are budgeted and available in the City-Wide ADA Compliance Project, Project No. 2409, utilizing SBl Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 235) andMeasure A (Fund 276).

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11155 - A Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program for a Sustainable Transit Connections to Health Services Planning and Feasibility Study
FROM: Community Development Department

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Approve Resolution No. 11155 - Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program for a Sustainable Transit Connections to Health Services Planning and Feasibility Study

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) operates the bus service for the City of Folsom.

Folsom Stage Line Routes 10, 20, and 30 currently serve the area north of Highway 50. There are currently no fixed bus routes serving the Folsom Plan Area.

In April of 2010, a Transit Master Plan was prepared for the Folsom Plan Area. The Transit Master Plan identifies proposed roadways to be used by future bus transit routes, along with potential locations for bus turnouts, pedestrian shelters, and bus transfer stations. The Transit Master Plan also identifies a "high capacily" bus route along Alder Creek Parkway that would link the residential areas with the major commercial areas in the Folsom Plan Area and the Hazel Avenue light rail station. According to the Transit Master Plan, the principal land use factors that promote transit ridership are density, diversity (land use mixture), and pedestrian friendly design that encourages walking. The Transit Master Plan anticipates that the transit system would be developed in phases as future development occurs within the Folsom Plan Area to support transit ridership.

SacRT operates light-rail transit (LRT) service in Sacrament County. LRT service is provided on the Gold Line from downtown Sacramento along the Folsom Boulevard/Highway 50 corridor to 1

01/09/2024 Item No.14.
the Historic Folsom light-rail station, with local stops at Hazel Avenue, Iron Point Road, Glenn Drive and Historic Folsom. SacRT intends to add a second track in section of the Gold Line route in order to operate a l5-minute service between Sunrise Station in Rancho Cordova and Historic Folsom Station in Folsom, rather than the existing 30-minute service. The construction of the second track is expected to begin in January 2024 and last through June 2024.

Over the past year, the Community Development Department has initiated a collaboration with the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) to discuss various planning projects. These include the current General Plan and Folsom Plan Areas Specific Increased Residential Capacity Project, the Gold Line Double Tracking Project, and proposed and approved development projects in the Folsom Plan Area, such as the UC Davis and Dignity Health medical campuses. The objective of this collaboration is to pinpoint opportunities for enhancing sustainable transit connections in the city and to devise strategies for the execution of the Folsom Plan Area Transit Master Plan. The collaboration has led staff and SacRT to conclude that the successful execution of the Folsom Plan Area Transit Master Plan requires ongoing commitment and cooperation with SacRT and local partners, particularly our medical facility partners who stand to benefit significantly from the new transit service. With four major medical facilities (UC Davis, Dignity Health, Kaiser Permanente, and Sutter Health) planned, approved, or under construction in the city near the intersection of US Highway 50 and East Bidwell Street, planning for a transit route that connects these four new medical center campuses to sustainable transit connections, including Regional Transit's Gold Line, is important for Folsom residents, employees as well as those living outside the area.

Staff is now seeking the City Council's approval to apply for funds from the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Grant Program. These funds will be used to carry out a planning and feasibility study for transit connections to health services and other key locations in the city. The study aims to work with local health service partners and others to develop recofirmendations for the alignment and station locations; create station area plans; conduct extensive community outreach; and establish an implementation and funding strategy.

POLICY / RULE
The California Department of Transportation requires that the governing body of the applicant endorse the application through a resolution and pledge the matching funds before the application is submitted.

ANALYSIS
The proposed Sustainable Transit Connections to Health Services Planning and Feasibility Study, in partnership with the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT), aims to proactively plan for sustainable transit connections that will support the planned future growth of the city. The goal is to integrate various transportation modes, enhance transit station connections, improve access to medical facilities, and provide easy access to regional transit services in Folsom and the vicinity.

This initiative will increase accessibility to the regional transit system for all (including older adults and people with disabilities), reduce traffic congestion, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve community health.
2 Page 84
01/09/2024 Item No.14.

The study is timely due to several factors. First, the enhancements to the Regional Transit's Gold Line will facilitate a l5-minute light rail service in our region by 2024. Second, the four new medical facilities we aim to collaborate with are still in the early stages of development and planning. This allows for seamless integration with other transport modes to create safe, effective, and convenient transit stop access, thereby promoting ridership. Lastly, Alder Creek Parkway is yet to be completed, providing an opportunity for efficient resource and space utilization by integrating the transit infrastructure into the final street design before construction. These factors offer a unique opportunity to plan transit connections and transit stops/stations early on, providing future sustainable regional transit access new medical facilities, jobs, and services.

This initiative will follow SacRT's successful collaboration with UC Davis and others in launching the Causeway Connection bus service in2020link, linking UC Davis and Sacramento, as well as the recent launch of the Elk GroveAJC Davis Medical Center express bus service in 2023.

Additionally, the study will align with several current planning efforts, including, but not limited to the Folsom Light Rail Modemization Double Track Project, SACOG' s Green Means Go Program, and the City's General Plan and Folsom Plan Areas Specific Increased Residential Capacity Project. It will also focus on connecting pedestrian and bike facilities under the city's Active Transportation Plan. The study will encompass technical analysis, traffic modeling, station area planning, public outreach, and implementation and funding strategies, with support from multiple stakeholders.

Adopting this resolution is consistent with the City of Folsom's General Plan Goal to support and maintain a comprehensive, safe, and integrated transit system that responds to the needs of all residents and allow frequent and convenient travel through the city and region and aligns with the objectives of the Sustainable Transportation Grant.

F'INANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated total cost of the comprehensive planning and feasibility transit connection study is $250,808, and the City is requesting $225,000 from the Caltrans sustainable transportation planning grant, which requires an 11.47 percent local match. The City would contribute its local match in the form of staff time including acting as project manager overseeing the consultant conducting the planning and feasibility transit connections study.

There is no impact on the General Fund if the grant award is accepted. The grant would be disbursed to the City on a reimbursement basis. Consultant costs would be expended from Fund 451 (Light Rail Impact Fee Fund) and repaid as reimbursement from Caltrans when received. In addition,

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The grant request and proposed Sustainable Transit Connections to Health Services Planning and Feasibility Study is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, which provides an exemption for feasibility and planning studies for future action.

As described in the Background section, FCUSD is requesting a waiver of special event permit related fees for the proposed parade in celebration of Folsom High School's fifth State CIF Division 1-A football championship. For Folsom High School's homecoming parade the City special event related permit and staffing costs were approximately $6,000 and given a similar expected cost for the championship parade, the District was hoping that the City could waive or reduce the fee burden for the event given its limited budget for this event and that this is celebrating the accomplishment of the local high school.

FINAN IMPACT
Since this event is similar to the homecoming parade that Folsom High School did in October 2023, any waiver of permit fees would result in a likely loss of approximately $6,000 from the General Fund. The cost of staff time would need to be covered by the General Fund.. There are sufficient funds in the General Fund (Fund 010) contingency appropriation to cover staff costs related to this fee waiver, if approved.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The waiving of City special event permit fees is an administrative action and is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(bX3).

01/09/2024 Item No.17.

The proposed project was considered by the Planning Commission at its November 15,2023 meeting. The Commission engaged in a thorough review of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment including discussions regarding existing sign regulations, implications associated with the proposed Specific Plan Amendment, sign location and sign design, potential sign impacts, Caltrans requirements, and potential sign advertising revenue.

In relation to existing sign regulations, the Commission inquired about the existing regulations regarding placement of an electronic readerboard sign along U.S. Highway 50. City staff explained that the Folsom Municipal Code currently requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit to place an electronic readerboard sign adjacent to U.S. Highway 50, while also requiring removal of two existing billboard signs located along the freeway. Staff noted that the Folsom Auto Mall and Palladio at Broadstone had each received approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the Plaruring Commission for construction of their respective freeway- oriented electronic readerboard signs. City staff also stated that the purpose of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment was to establish a separate process for approving a freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign in the Folsom Plan Area whereby a Conditional Use Permit would be required but that the elimination of existing billboard signs, which the applicant has no ownership or control over, would not be required.

With regard to implications associated with the proposed Specific Plan Amendment, the Commission debated if approval of this particular application would preclude any other landowners in the Folsom Plan Area from placing a freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign on their respective properties. City staff indicated that the proposed Specific Plan Amendment was only intended to allow placement of a single electronic readerboard sign on a specific property (Parcel 61) within the Folsom Plan Area under the ownership of Eagle Commercial Properties. Staff further stated that Eagle Commercial Properties owns a majority of the commercial property located adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 thus making it highly unlikely that there would be a proposal from another property owner for an electronic readerboard sign.

That being said, staff indicated that placement of additional freeway-oriented electronic readerboard signs in the Plan Area adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 would be permitted if the landowner were to receive approval of another Specific Plan Amendment relative to freeway si gnage, with as sociated environmental review.

The Commission asked specific questions regarding the location and design of the future electronic readerboard sign. City staff stated the final location and design of the electronic readerboard sign would be established through the Conditional Use Permit process that applicant would be required to go through. However, staff did share a preliminary site plan and preliminary sign elevations that the applicant had provided with the Commission. Staff also noted that the applicant had already recorded a sign easement along the northern portion of Parcel 6l adjacerrtto U.S. Highway 50 and that this would be the most likely location of the future electronic readerboard sign.

The Commission inquired as to whether the electronic readerboard sign would have any adverse impacts on nearby residential properties in the Folsom Plan Area. City staff commented that an Addendum to the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan EIR/EIS had been aJ Page 99
01/09/2024 Item No.17.
prepared for the proposed project and that no new significant environmental impacts were identified. That being said, staff noted that the nearest future residential land uses in the Plan Area are located over 900 feet away to the south of the project site and that the sign is not expected to have a negative visual impact on these future residents. Staff further stated all other potential impacts associated with the electronic readerboard sign would be evaluated as part of the Conditional Use Permit that the applicant is required to obtain from the Planning Commission.

With respect to Caltrans requirements, the Commission asked what types of rules and regulations the electronic readerboard sign would be subject to. City staff commented that Caltrans has very specific requirements regarding the location, size, design and functionality of freeway-oriented electronic readerboard signs. In particular, Caltrans is focused on ensuring that these types of electronic readerboard sign do not distract drivers on the freeway by regulating the illumination, brightness, message duration, and hours of operation. Staff noted that in addition to obtaining approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the City, the applicant will be required to obtain approval of a Sign Permit from Caltrans for operation of the electronic readerboard sign.

The Commission was interested in learning if there were any financial benefits to the City in adding a third freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign. City staff stated that the applicant would be required to enter into Agreement with the City relative to the operation, maintenance, and advertising associated with the electronic readerboard sign. Staff indicated that the Agreement would likely be similar to existing Agreements the City has with the Folsom Auto Mall and Palladio at Broadstone in that there would be a revenue sharing component for which the City would receive I0o/o of all net payments received by the sign operator. The City currently receives approximately $30,000 in revenue on an annual basis through the revenue sharing agreements with the Folsom Auto Mall and Palladio at Broadstone. The applicant also commented that there would tikely be secondary economic benefits relative to increased property tax and sales tax associated with new business locating in the Folsom Plan Area partly because of the increased visibility and project identification the electronic readerboard sign will provide.

A more detailed discussion of each of the aforementioned topics is included within the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment2). No members of the public spoke regarding the proposed project. The Planning Commission adopted a motion (5-1-0-1) to recommend approval of the proposed project to the City Council. The lone Planning Commissioner who voted no on the project was actually in support of proposed electronic readerboard sign, however, he was hoping to initiate a broader discussion regarding whether additional freeway- oriented electronic readerboard signs in the Folsom Plan Area would be beneficial to the City.

POLICY i RULE
The Folsom Municipal Code (FMC) requires that applications for Specific Plan Amendments be forwarded to the City Council for final action, following a public hearing and 4Page 100
01/09/2024 Item No.17.
recommendation by the Planning Commission. City Council actions regarding Specific Plan Amendments are covered under Sections 17.68.080 and 17.37.090 of the Folsom Municipal Code.

ANALYSIS
Detailed analysis for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign project is provided in the Planning Commission Staff Report which is included as Attachment2 to this report.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact to the FPA Public Facilities Financing Plan is anticipated with approval of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign project as the proposed project will not result in any change in the total number of residential units or total amount of commercial square footage within the Folsom Plan Area. While the proposed Specific Plan Amendment will not directly result in any financial impacts, the required Agreement associated with operation of the Parcel 61 electronic readerboard is expected to provide the City with approximately $15,000 in revenue on an annual basis.

ENVIRO AI, REVIEW
The City, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has determined that, in accordance with Section15164 ofthe State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed changes to a commercial land use table in the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan constitute minor changes to the development scenario described in the Final EIR/EIS for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, warranting the preparation of an Addendum. An Addendum is appropriate where a previously certified EIR has been prepared and some changes or revisions to the project are proposed, or the circumstances surrounding the project have changed, but none of the changes or revisions would result in significant new or substantially more severe environmental impacts, consistent with CEQA, Public Resources Code Section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163.

An Environmental Checklist and Addendum was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 to evaluate whether the proposed project's effects were adequately examined in the FPASP EIR/EIS. The Environmental Checklist and Addendum concluded that no changes associated with the proposed project and no changed circumstances trigger subsequent or supplemental environmental review. The Addendum and associated appendices prepared for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign project are also available for viewing on the City's Website at the following link at:

Planning Commission
Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign (SPPL 23-00051) November 15,2023
The applicant has indicated to City staff as part of their application submittal that a freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign is a key component to attracting new commercial businesses to locate in the City of Folsom and more specifically within the Folsom Plan Area. The applicant has also stated that an electronic readerboard sign is critical to the financial stability of future commercial development located adjacent to U.S.

Highway 50 in the Folsom Plan Area. Lastly, the applicant commented that the electronic readerboard sign will feature state of the art technology and design elements that will be a showcase for the City and commercial businesses in the Folsom Plan Area.

Although not part of the subject application, the applicant has submitted preliminary details regarding the location and design of the future electronic readerboard sign thatwill be subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Those details are shown in Figure 1 below and Figure 2 on the following page' FIGURE 1: PRELIMINARY SITE PLAN

Planning Commission
Fotsom Flan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign (SPPL 23-00051) November 15,2023
Analysis
The following sections provide an analysis of the applicant's proposal. Staff's analysis includes:

A. Specific Plan Amendment
B. Conformance with Relevant Folsom General Plan and Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Objectives and Policies
A. Specific Plan Amendment
The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan is currently silent on whether or not electronic readerboard signs are a permitted, non-permitted, or conditionally permit land use. As a result, the applicant is requesting approval of a Specific Plan Amendment to modify FPASP Table A.7 (Transportation, Communication, lnfrastructure) for the purpose of adding "Electronic Readerboard Sign" as a conditionally permitted use in the Regional Commercial Planned Development District (SP-RC-PD). Specifically, the applicant is proposing that the Specific Plan Amendment only apply to Parcel 61 which is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and East Bidwell Street within the Folsom Plan Area. As mentioned in the project description, the Specific Plan Amendment would allow for only one double-sided electronic readerboard to be placed on Parcel 61, with no additional electronic readerboard signs being permitted on Parcel 61 or elsewhere in the Folsom Plan Area.
ln reviewing the applicant's request for approval of a Specific Plan Amendment to allow for placement of an electronic readerboard sign on Parcel 61 within the Folsom Plan Area upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission, staff considered a number of factors including existing regulations contained within the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC Section 17.59.040) regarding freestanding electronic readerboard signs adjacent to U.S. Highway 50, the number and location of existing freestanding electronic readerboard signs within the City adjacent to U.S. Highway 50, the necessity for a another freestanding electronic readerboard sign adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 in the Folsom Plan Area, and prior electronic readerboard sign agreements associated with third-party off- site advertising.

FMC Section 17.59.040(EX2.5) requires that animated freestanding freeway signs on property abutting U.S. Highway 50 be required to obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning Commission. ln addition, the section also requires the removal of more than one billboard Hiohwav 50 within limits to ensure that annroval imated as an
hiqhwav signs in Folsom. However, as mentioned
Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan does not currently
results in
previously within this report, the
have a mechanism to allow for
placement of any animated freestanding sign, electronic readerboard sign, or similar electronic sign adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 within the Folsom Plan Area. As described

01/09/2024 Item No.17.

Planning Commission
Folsom-Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign (SPPL 23-00051) November 15,2023
in section 13.3 of the Specific Plan, where the FPASP conflicts with the FMC, the Specific plan takes precedence. Where the FPASP is silent, the FMC prevails. With this application, the applicant is requesting to amend the Specific Plan to allow an animated sign without the FMC requirement to remove existing billboard signs along Highway 50. tf ine Specific Plan Amendment is not approved, the applicant could still move fonruard with a proposal for an electronic readerboard at the subject location, but they would be required to either remove existing billboards as described in the FMC or seek approval of a variance of that requirement.

There are currently two electronic readerboard signs located adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 within the City. The first electronic readerboard sign, which is located on the south side of U.S. Highway 50 near Folsom Boulevard, is a 65-foot-tall freestanding double- sided electronic sign intended to provide identification for businesses located at the Folsom Auto Mall. The second electronic readerboard sign, which is located on the north side of U.S Highway 50 near East Bidwell Street, is an 80-foot-tall freestanding double- sided electronlc sign intended to provide identification for businesses located at the Palladio at Broadstone Shopping Center. Apart from the two electronic readerboard signs there are two static billboard freeway signs on Highway 50 in Folsom near the Folsom Blvd. highway exit, which are owned by OUTFRONT Media, lnc. There is one other freestanding freeway sign, which was done for the Broadstone Plaza commercial center where Home Depot and Old Navy are located. That sign which is owned by Elliott Homes is located on the north side of Highway 50 west of the E. Bidwell Street on/off- ramp.
ln reviewing the Conditional Use Permit for each of the aforementioned freeway-oriented electronic signs, the Planning Commission previously determined that the Folsom Auto Mall and the Palladio at Broadstone Shopping Center are regional entities that warrant the type of enhanced project identification provided by a freeway-oriented electronic readerboard. ln addition, the Commission determined that the location, height, size, and design of the aforementioned electronic readerboard signs for the Folsom Auto Mall and the Palladio at Broadstone Shopping Center were appropriate given that they are regional destinations.

As discussed in the Background Section of this staff report, the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan features a coordinated development plan for over 3,500-acres of residential, commercial, employment and public uses including 2,788,844 square feet of commercial land uses. Parcel 61, which is the subject location of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment, has been allocated253,245 square feet of Regional Commercial designated land (RC), 216,014 square feet of lndustrial/Office Park designated land (|ND/OP), and 55,1 15 square feet of General Commercial designated land (GC) in the Specific Plan. lt is anticipated that Parcel 61 will eventually be developed with a mixture of commercial land uses that have importance from a regional perspective as well as multi-family housing and a park. As an example, UC Davis is currently in the process of developing a 400,000-square-foot regional medical facility in the southeast portion of Parcel 61.

01/09/2024 Item No.17.

Planning Commission
Fotsom Flan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign (SPPL 23-00051) November 15,2023
While FMC Section 17.59.040(EX2.5) requires the removal of more than one freeway billboard before issuance of a CUP for an animated freeway sign (i.e., electronic readerboard), the applicant does not own any of the three remaining freeway signs in Folsom and neither owner is willing to sell or remove those signs' Staff recognizes that amending the specific plan to conditionally allow a freestanding electronic readerboard along Highway 50 in the Folsom Plan Area would increase the amount of freeway signage in Folsom. However, staff believes such a sign is warranted given the large amount of commercial square footage planned not only on Parcel 61, but also on the other commercially zoned and mixed-use areas in the Folsom Plan Area near Highway 50. Based on this information, staff has concluded that an electronic reiderboard sign would benefit the commercial uses planned and approved for Parcel 61, particularly regional uses such as the UC Davis medical facility. lt is especially important for regional commercial businesses located in the Folsom Plan Area adjacent to the highway to have proper identification near Highway 50. The sign contemplated by the applicant would be oriented toward Highway 50 and, if approved by the Commission, would be approximately 900 feet from the parcels planned for multi-family residential and park uses. ln addition, all electronic readerboards located near State highways are subject to review and approval by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which regulates the location, spacing, and size of such signs. Approval from the City is a prerequisite to obtaining approval from Caltrans.

As mentioned earlier in this staff report, there are currently two electronic readerboard signs located adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 within the City, the Folsom Auto Mall electronic readerboard sign and the Palladio at Broadstone electronic readerboard sign. With approval of each of the aforementioned electronic readerboard signs, the owner/applicant was required to enter into an agreement with the City with respect to managing third- party, off-site advertising on the electronic readerboard signs. Core elements of the third- party, off-site advertising agreements included advertising scheduling and revenue sharing. With respect to advertising scheduling, the agreements generally stated that 40%-50Yo of advertising space would be available to onsite businesses, 10% of the advertising space would be available to the City of Folsom for non-commercial City- related messages, with the remaining advertising space being available to third-party advertisers. ln relation to revenue sharing, the agreements generally stated that the City of Folsom would receive 10o/o o'f all net payments received by the sign operator. Staff has determined that a similar advertising agreement would be appropriate for the third proposed electronic readerboard sign within the City (which is the subject of this proposed specific plan amendment) and has added a condition of approval to this projectthat the owner/applicant enter into an agreement with the City regarding the inclusion of third- pafty, off-site advertising on the Parcel 61 Electronic Readerboard Sign prior to City Council approval of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Amendment for Electronic Readerboard Sign project. Condition No. 7 is included to reflect this requirement.

Based on the aforementioned analysis, staff is supportive of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment to allow for a single electronic readerboard sign on Parcel 61 within the

Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that, as conditioned, the project will provide for improved visibility and project identification for future commercial businesses located adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 on Parcel 61 and at other commercial locations in the Folsom Plan Area.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City, as the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has determined that, in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed changes to a commercial land use table in the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan constitute minor changes to the development scenario described in the Final EIR/ElS for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, warranting the preparation of an Addendum. An Addendum is appropriate where a previously certified EIR has been prepared and some changes or revisions to the project are proposed, or the circumstances surrounding the project have changed, but none of the changes or revisions would result in significant new or substantially more severe environmental impacts, consistent with CEQA, Public Resources CodeSection 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163.

An Environmental Checklist and Addendum was prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 to evaluate whether the proposed project's effects were adequately examined in the FPASP EIR/EIS. The Environmental Checklist and Addendum concluded that no changes associated with the proposed project and no changed circumstances trigger subsequent or supplemental environmental review. The Environmental Checklist and Addendum are included at Attachment 9 to this staff report.

RECOMMENDATION/PLAN NING COMMISSION ACTION
Staff recommends that the Commission:

Move to recommend that the City Council:

BACKGROUND
Background:

The proposed project site is part of the approved Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP), a comprehensively planned community that proposes new development based on "Smart Growth" and Transit Oriented Development principles. The FPASP, approved in 2011, is a development plan for over 3,500 acres of previously undeveloped land located south of U.S. Highway 50, north of White Rock Road, east of Prairie City Road, and west of the Sacramento County/El Dorado County line in the southeastern portion of the City.

Since FPASP adoption in 2011, the City Council has approved eight amendments to the Specific Plan with land use and density refinements. ln addition, numerous Minor Administrative Amendments have been approved by the Community Development Department also resulting in land use and density refinements. Overall, the changes to the Specific Plan have reduced the amount of commercial development planned for the area and increased the amount of residential development:

On August 14,2003, the Planning Commission approved a Planned Development Permit Modification and Conditional Use Permit for development of a 47-foot-tall freeway- oriented electronic readerboard sign on the south side of U.S. Highway 50 within the Folsom Auto Mall. The aforementioned 47-foottall electronic readerboard sign, which included approximately 672 square feet of sign area (electronic readerboard measures 20 feet in height by 30 feet in width), was subsequently constructed and was in operation until2014 when it was replaced with a taller sign described below. lt is important to note that approval of the existing electronic readerboard sign resulted in the removal of two freeway-oriented billboard signs (672-square-foot billboard sign and a 720-square-foot billboard sign) adjacent to U.S. Highway 50 in the vicinity of the Folsom Auto Mall as required under FMC Section 17.59.040(EX2.5).

On October 1,2014, the Planning Commission approved a Planned Development Permit Modification and Conditional Use Permit Modification to replace the existing 47-foot-tall freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign with a new 65-foot-tall freeway-oriented electronic readerboard sign at the Folsom Auto Mall. The approved 65-foottall electronic readerboard sign contains approximalely 744 square feet of total sign area including a 672-square-foot high-definition electronic readerboard (LED display) and 72 square feet of fixed sign area for a Folsom Auto Mall identification sign.

As noted earlier in this report, the City also approved an electronic readerboard for the Palladio on the north side of Highway 50. This was done with a CUP and Elliott Homes was required to remove various signs around Folsom. ln both the case of the Palladio and the Folsom Auto Mall, the owners entered into an operational agreement with the City that dealt with advertising, operations and revenue-sharing'

Folsom City Council
Staff Re ort

RECO / CITY ACTION
Staff requests that the Mayor, with approval from the City Council, appoint three at-large members to the Folsom Historic District Commission for two-year terms ending in December 2025.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Folsom Municipal Code Chapter 17 .52 establishes the Folsom Historic District Commission and defines the Committee's purpose of the Historic District Commission, in part, as to preserve and enhance the historic, small-town atmosphere of the Historic District; to encourage an active business climate which promotes the development of a diverse range of businesses compatible with the Historic District; to retain the residential areas within the Historic District; to ensure that new residential and commercial development is consistent with the historical character of the Historic District; and to increase the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the history of the city.

The Commission is comprised of seven members consisting of one representative who is actively involved with historic preservation, one representative who is a resident of the Historic District, one representative who owns a business within the Sutter Street Subarea, two Planning Commissioners, one representative from a Historic District business outside the Sutter Street Subarea, and one architect, landscape architect, or other design professional with expertise in historic preservation.

The three current vacant positions are for a representative who is a business owner within the Sutter Street subarea, a resident within the Historic District and an applicant representing the Historical Society / Historic Preservation. The three vacancies were created due to the expiration of each of the existing appointee's two-year terms ending in December 2023.

A Notice of Vacancy was published in the Folsom Telegraph and in the City's newsletter, posted on the clty's website, and on the bulletin boards located at City Hall. Conespondence was sent to current Historic District Commission members whose terms expire in December 2023 inviting them to submit an application for reappointment.

POLICY / RIiI,E
Folsom Code Section 2.35.030 states that at-large appointments to the Historic District Commission shall expire as follows:

December of even numbered Years:
. Planning Commission Members (2 appointees)
o Representative from a Historic District Business outside the Sutter Street subarea . Architect, Landscape architect, or other design profession December of odd-numbered Years:
o Historic Preservation
o Resident of the Historic District
o Business Owner within the Sutter Street subarea
Folsom Municipal Code Section 17.52.020 states that the mayor shall appoint each of the members, subject to the approval of the city council.

ANALYSIS
There are currently three vacancies for representatives of the Folsom Historic District Committee consisting of a business owner within the Sutter Street subarea, a resident within the Historic District and an applicant representing the Historical Society / Historic Preservation.

RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and conduct first reading of Ordinance No.

I34l - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Folsom Repealing Chapter 2.42 of the Folsom Municipal Code Pertaining to Initiative, Referendum and Recall Petitions.

BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Relying on previous (outdated) sections in the California Elections Code, the Folsom City Council Ln1996 added Chapter 2.42,"Initiative, Referendum and Recall Petitions" to the Folsom Municipal Code to regulate circulators gathering signatures for local initiatives, referendum, and recall elections. Chapter 2.42 rcquires that the circulators be: (1) Folsom residents; (2) registered voters; (3) registered with the Chief of Police; and (4) licensed if they are paid to gather signatures.

Since 1996, several cases and a California Attorney General opinion have made the requirements in Chapter 2.42 unconstitutional and unenforceable:

1. The US Supreme Court in 1998 decided in Buckley v. American Constitutional Law Foundation (525 U.S. 182) that the requirement where signature gatherers must be registered voters is unconstitutional.
1 MEETING DATE: U912024
AGENDA SECTION: New Business
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1341 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Folsom Repealing Chapter 2.42 of the Folsom Municipal Code Pertaining to Initiative, Referendum and Recall Petitions (Introduction and First Reading)
FROM: City Attorney's Office

01/09/2024 Item No.19.

2. The California Attorney General in 1999 opined that restricting signature gatherers to residents of the city is unconstitutional (82 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen 250 (1999)).

3. The California Court of Appeals for the Fourth Appellate District in 2008 decided in Preserve Shorecliff Homeowners v. City of San Clemente (158 Cal.App.4th 1427)that requiring signature gatherers to reside and be eligible to vote in a city is unconstitutional.

POLICY / RULE
Section 6.01(B) of the City Charter defaults initiatives, referendum and recall procedures to the State law:

Section 6.01. Election Procedures:

B. Initiative, Referendum and Recall. The electors of the City reserve to themselves the powers of initiative and referendum and the recall ofelective officers, to be
exercised in the manner prescribed by the State Elections Code.

ANALYSIS
The provisions in Chapter 2.42 of the Folsom Municipal Code governing signature gatherers for initiatives, referendum, and recall petitions have been found unconstitutional by courts deciding similar provisions in other cities over the years. The relevant State laws in the California Elections Code have since been updated to conform with court decisions and the State Attorney General's Opinion where signature gatherers no longer must be residents or registered voters ofa city.

The City Charter already defaults initiatives, referendum and recall procedures to the State law, which have been updated by the State Legislature to remove the unconstitutional requirements. State law provides detailed procedures, requirements, and safeguards for signature gatherers in Chapter 2, "Petitions and Petition Signers" (Elections Code Sections 100 to 108), and the City does not need to have duplicative provisions in the Folsom Municipal Code that may be confusing or contrary to law.

To avoid confusion, staff respectfully recommend that the City Council introduce and conduct first reading of Ordinance No. T34I - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Folsom Repealing Chapter 2.42 of the Folsom Municipal Code Pertaining to Initiative, Referendum and Recall Petitions.
