Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project will not result in a change in the level of service (LOS) at any street intersections. ln addition, the project locates high-density residential units in close proximity to roadways that are sized to accommodate the trips generated by the project.
GP GOAL LU 6.1 Neiohborhoods)
Allow for a variety of housing types and mix of uses that provide choices for Folsom residents, create complete and livable neighborhoods, and encourage walking and biking.
GP POLICY LU 6.1.3 (Efficiency through Density)
Support an overall increase in average residential densities in identified urban centers and mixed-use districts. Encourage new housing types to shift from lower-density, large- lot developments to higher-density, small-lot and multifamily developments, as a means to increase energy efficiency, conserve water, reduce waste, as well as increase access to services and amenities (e.9., open space) through an emphasis of mixed uses in these higher-density developments.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project is providing a modern multi-family residential project developed at a residential density of 14 units per acre. As an innovative community that combines attached and detached units, the project offers an alternative to traditional detached single- family residential subdivisions and meets a segment of the State-wide demand for housing. The compact form of the project also efficiently utilizes local infrastructure, roads, and services.
GP GOAL LU 9.1 (Land Dcsionl
Encourage community design that results in a distinctive, high-quality built environment with a character that creates memorable places and enriches the quality of life of Folsom's residents.
GP POLICY LU 9.1 .10 (Renewable and Alternative Energy Generation Systems) Require the use of solar, wind, and other on-site renewable energy generation systems as part of the design of new planned developments.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy in that the project will participate in Sacramento Municipal Utility District's (SMUD) Neighborhood SolarShares program to provide solar energy to the project from arrays off-site and connected to the grid. The project applicant will also enroll the common area and each residential unit in the program, with the credits from the off-site solar arrays benefiting the common area and each residential unit. ln addition to participation in the SolarShares, the project will include cool paving on pedestrian paths, pedestrian crossings, and amenity areas. While not considered renewable or alternative energy generation systems, six parking spaces will be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations. Ten percent of total parking spaces in the project will have the infrastructure needed to accommodate additional charging stations.

Lastly, the proposed project includes cool paving materials at the two project driveway entries, pedestrian paths, and the site amenity areas.
Conformance with Relevant Specific Plan Goals, Obiectives, and Policies The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan identifies goals, objectives, and policies designed to guide the physical, economic, and environmentalgrowth of the Specific Plan Area. Staff has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the Specific Plan goals, objectives, and policies as outlined and discussed below:
SP OBJECTIVE H-1 Housinql
To provide an adequate supply of suitable sites for the development of a range of housing types to meet the housing needs of all segments of the population.
GP and SP POLICY H-1.1
The City shall ensure that sufficient land is designated and zoned in a range of residential densities to accommodate the City's regional share of housing.
Analysis: The City provides residential lands at various residential densities as specified in the General Plan and in the Folsom Municipal Code. The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan includes specialized zoning (Specific Plan Designations) that are customized to the Plan Area as adopted in 2011 and as amended over time.
The FPASP provides residential lands at densities ranging from 1-4 dwelling unit per acre (SF), 4-7 dwelling units per acre (SFHD),7-12 dwelling units per acre (MLD), 12-20 dwelling units per acre (MMD), 20-30 dwelling units per acre (MHD), and 9-30 dwelling units per acre (MU).
The project site has a General Plan land use designation of MMD and a Specific Plan land use designation of SP-MMD-PD. ln addition, the Sendero project will be developed al 14 units per acre, which is within the allowed density range for the MMD designation. The 136 proposed units will contribute to the inventory of housing that meets the City's obligations under the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
SP POLICY 4.3
Residential neighborhoods that are directly adjacent to open space shall provide at least two defined points of pedestrian access into the open space area.
Analvsis: The project site is surrounded on the north, east, and west by an open space corridor. A Class I multi-purpose trail is planned within the corridor that loops around the site and connects to the Class I trail on White Rock Road. The project includes two pedestrian crossings of Street A to connect the project to the Class I trail adjacent to the open space corridor.

Planning Commission
Sendero (Mangini Ranch Lot 14) (MSTR24-00225)
November 20,2024
SP POLICY 4.5
All multi-family high-density residential sites shall provide on-site recreation amenities for its residents, unless directly adjacent to a park site.
Analvsis: The proposed project is consistent with this policy because it provides on-site outdoor amenity areas and is also across from the newly completed Prospector Park, a 12-acre public park. Three outdoor amenity areas will feature a child's play area, shade structures, trellises, picnic tables, fire pits, and barbeques. Trail amenities such as benches and pet waste stations are planned along the pedestrian paths throughout the site. Pedestrian paths throughout the site will link to Southpointe Drive to the west and to the Class I trail and open space corridors to the north, south and east of the site.
SP POLICY 4.6
As established by the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan as Amended, the total number of dwelling units for the Plan Area shall not exceed 13,343. The number of units within individual land use parcels may vary, so long as the number of units falls within the allowable density range for a particular land use designation.
Analvsis: The City Council has approved several Specific Plan Amendments within the Folsom Plan Area in August 2024,which have generally resulted in an increase of residentially-zoned land and a decrease in commercially-zoned land. As a result, the number of residential units within the Plan Area is now at 13,343. The various Specific Plan Amendment ElRs and Addendums analyzed impacts from the conversion of the commercial lands to residential lands; impacts and associated mitigations measures can be found in the individual project-specific environmental documents.
The proposed project will result in 24 unused allocated dwelling units (160 allocated dwelling units, 136 dwelling units proposed for project). The applicant plans to request a Minor Administrative Modification to transfer these unused dwelling units to another Specific Plan parcel, not exceeding the allowable density for the parcels. The proposed project does not result in any change in total dwelling units (13,343 dwelling units) in the FPASP.
SP OBJECTIVE 7.1 (Circulationl
Consistent with the California Complete Streets Act of 2008 and the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act (SB 375), create a safe and efficient circulation system for all modes of travel.
SP POLICY 7.1
The roadway network in the Plan Area shall be organized in a grid-like pattern of streets and blocks, except where topography and natural features make it infeasible, for the majority of the Plan Area to create neighborhoods that encourage walking, biking, public transit, and other alternative modes of transportation.

Analvsis. Consistent with the requirements of the California Complete Streets Act, the FPASP identified and planned for hierarchy of connect "complete streets" to ensure that pedestrian, bike, bus, and automobile modes are travel are designed to have direct and continuous connections throughout the Plan Area. Every option, from regional connector roadways to arterial and local streets, has been carefully planned and designed. Recent California legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (AB 32 and SB 375) has resulted in an increased market demand for public transit and housing closer to service needs and employment centers. ln response to these changes, the FPASP includes a regional transit corridor that will provide public transportation links between the major commercial, public, and multi-family residential land uses in the Plan Area.
The Sendero project is designed with multiple modes of transportation options (vehicles, bicycle, walking) and internal drive aisles organized in a pattern consistent with the approved FPASP circulation plan.
Desiqn Review
The purpose of the Design Review process is to ensure compliance with the established development standards for multi-family medium density development, review the project site design, and evaluate the architectural design of the residential buildings and clubhouse.
Development Standards - SP-MMD-PD Designation
The project is subject to the development standards established in the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan for Multi-Family Medium Density Residential (SP-MMD-PD) parcels for condominiums and garden apartments. The table below outlines the existing and proposed development standards for the Sendero (Mangini Lot 14) project:

Parking
The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Table A.14) requires that apartments, townhouses, and condominium developments in the Multi-Family Medium Density (MMD) designation provide two covered parking spaces for each unit with two bedrooms or more and 0.5 uncovered guest parking spaces for each unit. To meet the standard for the proposed 136 units,340 parking spaces are required. As outlined in the Project Description, garages will provide most on-site parking, with 272 bays proposed. Additional surface part<ing will be scattered through the site (56 stalls) and street parking along the property frontage is expected to provide an additional 12 spaces, adding up to the 340 parking spacei required in the SP-MMD designation. The Planning Commission previously approved street parking along Southpointe Drive as a substitute for on-site parking. Staff is comfortable with the request to do so for the Sendero project as well, and would note that there are fewer units proposed and therefore, less need for guest parking as a result.
Signage
Th-e ploposed project does not include a freestanding monument sign at the project entrance. However, staff anticipates that a sign will be desired when the project is developed. Therefore, staff recommends that the final location, height, size, and design of the future monument sign be subject to review and approval by the Community Development Department to ensure consistency with the requirements of the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC, Section 17 .59.04O D). Staff recommends that the owner/applicant obtan a stgn permit prior to installing the monument sign and Condition No. 44 is included to reflect this requirement.
Project Access and On-Site Circul ation
project access and on-site circulation remain as originally approved for the prior Bungalows project. Primary access to the project site will be from the extension of Southpointe Drive, which will connectto East Bidwellstreet on the west and Hummingbird Circle/Cormorant Drive on the north. Two driveways from the east side of Southpointe Drive will provide access into and out of the project site with all turning movements permitted. Vehicle circulation internal to the project site consists of 25- and 27-foot-wide drive aisles that connect to both driveways and loop through the site to directly access garages, parking areas and residential buildings.
The 2011 Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Environmental lmpact ReporUEnvironmental lmpact Statement (FPASP EIR/ElS) included a detailed analysis of traffic-related impacts wiinin the FPASP and an evaluation of traffic-related impacts on the surrounding communities. An Access and Circulation Study was prepared for the Bungalows project and Mangini Ranch Lot 16 Apartments project directly west of the subject site in 2021 lo determine what measures from the FPASP EIR/EIS would need to be implemented to permit project development. The study found that the following improvements would be necessary prior to the development of the Bungalows project to avoid traffic impacts:
r The owner/applicant shall be required to construct Street A from the intersection of East giOwett Street and Regency Parkway/Street A east to the intersection of Hummingbird Circle and Cormorant Drive consistent with the street sections (W-1 City of Folsom Page 20

and W-2) shown on the Site Plan and Off-Site lmprovement Plan to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department. ln addition, the owner/applicant shall grant the necessary right-of-way to the City to ensure correct alignment of Street A between East Bidwell Street and Hummingbird Circle.
The owner/applicant shall signalize the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Regency Parkway/Street A to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department. The construction of the intersection of East Bidwell Street and Regency Parkway/Street A shall include dual southbound left-turns (250-foot pockets plus 120-foot taper) on East Bidwell Street to the satisfaction of the Comm u n ity Development Department.
The south pedestrian crossing of Street A shall be relocated to the north side of the south driveway to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department.
Appropriatesight distance triangles shall be created at the two pedestrian crossings of Street A, consistent with Exhibit 1 of the Access and Circulation Study and to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department. The owner/applicant shall also install enhanced pavement markings and advance warning signs at each of the pedestrian crossings of Street A in a manner consistent with the current edition of the California Manual on Traffic Control Devices (CMUTCD) to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department.
"Stop" signs and appropriate pavement markings shall be installed at the internal approaches to the two project driveways on Street A to the satisfaction of the Comm u n ity Development Department.
As of the writing of this report, the above improvements have been completed or are in process. After review, the Engineering Division requested that additional conditions be placed on the project to improve pedestrian safety, as discussed below.
Pedestrian circulation is provided by a new public sidewalk on the east and south sides of Southpointe Drive, a multi-purpose Class I trail on the north and west sides of Southpointe Drive, and internal interconnected pedestrian sidewalks and walkways. Two pedestrian crossings of Southpointe Drive will provide access from the project site to the Class ltrail.
On the project frontage and nearby, Southpointe Drive makes two 9O-degree turns. This limits visibility for vehicles on Southpointe Drive. To increase pedestrian safety, the project has been conditioned to install pedestrian crossings with enhanced pavement markings and advance warning signs at designated locations along Southpointe Drive.
Condition No. 46 covers this requirement as well as roadway and pedestrian improvements required for the prior Bungalows project that are still applicable to the proposed project.

The prolect site is directly adjacent to White Rock Road which will become the Capital Southeast Connector in the future. The Connector project includes a Class I multi- purpose trail on the north side of White Rock Road. Staff recommends that the owner/applicant provide a pedestrian connection from the project site to the future Class I multi-purpose trail on the north side of White Rock Road. Staff also recommends that the final location and design of the pedestrian connection be subject to review and approval by the Community Development Department. Condition No. 54 is included to reflect this requirement.

and modeling were prepared by Bollard Acoustical Consultants on April 9, 2021 (Attachment22), to analyze potential noise impacts at the subject site for the Bungalows project. The Noise Analysis found that exterior noise levels at the outdoor use areas of homes closest to White Rock Road would be approximately 70 dB, which exceeds the standard for exterior noise. An eight-foot barrier (wall) was required to reduce the future White Rock Road traffic noise levels to approximately 60 dB or less at the outdoor activity areas of proposed residential units. The masonry wall, which has already been installed, utilizes earth tone colors with a decorative trim cap and pilasters. A four-foot split rail fence is planned on the site's perimeter at the project's boundary with adjacent open space parcels. The low fence will create separation and maintain views into the open space. The remaining fencing will be installed before completion of the project buildout.
Attachment 9 to this report shows the walls and fencing proposed for the project site. All fencing meets applicable development standards. Condition No. 25 requires that future walls and fencing be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department.
Site Lighting
As shown on the preliminary lighting plan (Attachment 10), the applicant proposes to use a combination of pole-mounted parking lot lighting, building-attached lighting, and bollard lights along the walkways and landscape areas on the project site. All lighting is designed to minimize light and glare impacts to the adjacent properties by shielding and directing light downward. Staff recommends that the final exterior building and site lighting plans be submitted for review and approval by Community Development Department for location, height, aesthetics, illumination level, glare, and trespass before building permit issuance. ln addition, staff recommend all lighting is designed to be shielded and directed downward onto the project site and away from adjacent properties and public rights-of- way. Condition No. 32 is included to reflect these requirements.
Trash and Recycling
The applicant is not proposing to install any trash enclosures on the project site. lnstead, they propose that each unit have individual trash, recycling, and organic waste totes, which would be required per the project CC&R's to be stored in either the private patio areas or garages, as well as put out for collection and returned to storage within a specified time period. The applicant provided a draft collection plan to City Solid Waste and Recycling (Solid Waste) for review. The plan demonstrated that every tote could be placed outside of fire lanes and was accessible to standard trash collection vehicles. As this was a proof-of-concept plan only, it is not included in the project exhibits. Solid Waste staff were supportive of the plan in concept. To ensure that trash and recycling collection does not become an operational issue on site, staff have included a condition that a final collection plan must be approved by Solid Waste before obtaining occupancy of the residential units (Condition No. 43).
Building Architecture and Design
The project is subject to the Folsom Ranch- Central District Design Guidelines (Design Guidelines), which were adopted to establish parameters which apply to all multi-family land use categories within the Folsom Ranch area of the FPASP. The Destgln Guidelines City of Folsom Page23

include guidance on site planning, unit privacy, open space, and circulation. They also direct which architectural styles can be used within Folsom Ranch, which includes the Mangini Ranch area.
As stated in the Project Description section of this report, the applicant proposes to incorporate three design themes into the project; Spanish Colonial, American Farmhouse, and American Colonial. All of these design themes are permitted under the Design Guidetines. The applicant states that principles from the Des4ln Guidelines have been incorporated into the building designs including:
. Varied main and accent roof pitches
. A mix of gable and hipped roofs
. Second floor offsets from the first floor
. Entries oriented toward the open spaces surrounding the project site . Minimum of two building materials and/or colors per building o Projections such as balconies, shutters, window surrounds, and recessed windows The Project Narrative (Attachment 16) provides detailed descriptions of each design theme and the color selections, which are centered around earthtones and accents of soft whites, muted greens, and greys. The Architectural Design Package (Attachment 12) and Preliminary Exterior Color/Material Design Booklet (Attachment 13) provide the full architectural plans for the project, from elevations, to floorplans, to colors and materials.
Staff reviewed the project site and building design against the Design Guidelines and found that the project features a high-quality design consistent with the document. As a result, staff recommends approval of the design with the following conditions:
1. The approval is for two 2-story bungalow plans, one carriage unit plan atop three 2-car garages (three building elevations with nine color and material options providing nine individual expressions per plan, for a total of 27 combinations). The applicant shall submit building plans that comply with this approval and the Architectural Design Package, dated October 22,2024, and Preliminary Exterior Color/Material Design Booklet, October 24, 2024 -
2. The design, materials, and colors of the proposed project shall be consistent with the building elevations, color renderings, materials samples, and color scheme to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department.
3. Brick pavers or another type of colored masonry material (ADA compliant) shall be used to designate pedestrian crossings of Southpointe Drive, and pedestrian crossings of drive aisles. Brick pavers or colored masonry material shall be incorporated as a design feature at the two driveway entrances on Southpointe Drive to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department.

4. All mechanical equipment shall be ground-mounted and be shielded by landscaping or trellis-type features. Equipment shall be properly ventilated and accessible for maintenance.
5. Decorative light fixtures, consistent with the Folsom Ranch Central District Design Guidelines and unique to each architectural design theme, shall be added to the front and rear building elevation of each Master Plan to the satisfaction of the Community Development Department and along the perimeter walkway on low bollards.
6. Utility equipment such as transformers, electric and gas meters, electrical panels, and junction boxes shall be screened by walls and or landscaping.
Landscaping
The proposed project will install frontage landscaping on the east side of Southpointe Drive and landscaping interior to the site. As shown on the preliminary landscape plan (Attachment 8), proposed landscaping will feature California-native and low water-use irees, shrubs, and groundcover selections intended to comply with the requirements of the Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). Proposed landscape improvements include various droughttolerant trees, shrubs, and groundcover. The applicant also plans to place accent trees and shrubs against blank wall areas around units to break up building massing.
There are three primary outdoor recreation areas planned to include areas to lounge, dine, and play. Waste receptacles, pet waste stations, and benches are scattered throughout the site. The preliminary landscape plan meets the City's shade requirement (bo%i by providine 610/o shade in the parking lot area within fifteen (15) years. Staff recommend that the final landscape plans be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department. Condition No. 32 is included to reflect this requirement.
Parcel Map Waiver
As discussed in the 'Project Description' section of this report, the applicant is requesting approval of a Parcel Map Waiver, pursuant to FMC Section 16.24.080 and supported by a draft Condominium Plan. This would allow the development of the project as a residential condominium project, once the waiver is processed by the City Engineer and recorded. Pursuant to FMC Section 16.24.080(8), the Planning Commission must find that the proposed "division of land" (a term used generally by that Section for all types of tentative and final map waivers) complies with requirements as to area, improvement and design, floodwater drainage control, appropriate improved public roads, sanitary disposal facilities, water supply availability, environmental protection and other requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, Title 16 of the FMC, the FMC in general, the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan. As discussed in this report, the resultant site meets all requirements listed above, as conditioned. ln addition, staff believe that the Planning City of Folsom Page25

Commission can find the proposed project compliant with the General Plan and FPASP.
Finally, the applicant has provided a draft Condominium Plan and draft CC&Rs (Attachments 14 and 15) that govern the property ownership, operation, and maintenance on the site, ensuring that the project will not result in negative impacts to surrounding properties.
Staff wishes to note that FMC Section 16.24.080(E) requires that, if the Waiver is approved or conditionally approved, the Community Development Department make a written report to the City Council. Section 16.24.080(E) further states:
"lf the city council, by a majority vote, decides to review the waiver and conditions, it shall conduct a public hearing after giving notice pursuant to Section 16.16.070 A. ln addition , notice shall be given to the planning commission The public hearing shall be held within 30 days after the date of the request for review. The city council may add, modify or delete conditions if the city council determines that such changes are necessary to ensure that the waiver conforms to the Subdivision Map Act and this code. The city council may deny the waiver on any of the grounds contained in this title. Within 10 days following the conclusion of the hearing, the city council shall render its decision. lf the city council does not act within the time limits set forth in this section, the waiver shall be deemed to have been approved or conditionally approved as last approved or conditionally approved by the planning commission insofar as it complies with all other applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, this title, this code, the general plan and any applicable specific plan. (Ord.7O2 $ 1 (part), 1991)" Should the Planning Commission conditionally approve the Waiver, staff will provide follow the requirements of Section 16.24.080(E) for reporting and any further review. lnclusionarv Housinq Plan
As permitted by the City's lnclusionary Housing Ordinance, the applicant is proposing to meet their inclusionary housing requirement by providing an in-lieu fee payment (Attachment 17). Staff supports payment of an in-lieu fee as the city has been successful in leveraging the inclusionary housing fund to obtain gap financing to support multifamily residential deed restricted housing projects. Staff recommend that the Planning Commission approve the Final lnclusionary Housing Plan and that subsequently the lnclusionary Housing Agreement be approved by the City Council in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and executed prior to recordation of Certificate of Compliance for the Condominium Map Waiver. Condition No. 22 is included to reflect these requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that residential projects consistent with an approved Specific Plan for which an EIR was prepared are exempt from a requirement to prepare additional environmental analysis. CEQA Guidelines section 15182(c) provides specific criteria to determine whether this exemption applies:
City of Folsom Page 26

(c) Residential Proiects lmplementing Specific Plans.
(1) Etigibitity. Where a public agency has prepared an EIR on a specific plan after January 1, 1980, a residential project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity to that specific plan is exempt from CEQA if the proiect meets the requirements of this section. Residential projects covered by this section include but are not timited to tand subdivisions, zoning changes, and residential ptanned unit developments. [CEQA Guidelines section 15182] A CEQA Exemption and Streamlining Analysis was completed for the Mangini Ranch Lot 14 Bungalows project and determined that the project qualified forthe exemption provided in CEQA Guidelines 15182(c), since it is consistent with the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan. The analysis includes a review of the impacts and mitigation measures addressed in the EIR for the FPASP, which concluded that the project would not result in any impacts not already identified, and that mitigation measures in the EIR will be sufficient to address project impacts.
The proposed project will not exceed the development area of the Bungalows project. lt is also proposed to include fewer residential units (136 rather than 160) and will not include amenity buildings. Finally, staff have confirmed that none of the events described in CEQA Guidelines 15162 which would require preparation of a subsequent EIR (substantial changes to the project, substantial changes in the circumstances underwhich the project is undertaken, or new information of substantial importance) have occurred.
Therefore, staff can confirm that like with the Bungalows, the proposed project is exempt from additional environmental review as provided in CEQA Guidelines 15182(c).

Folsom City Council
Staff Re ort
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council make at-large appointments to the Arts and Culture Commission, Historic District Commission, Landscaping and Lighting District Advisory Committee, Library Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, Traffic Safety Committee, and Utility Commission.
BACKGROUND
The terms for at-large appointments to the City of Folsom's commissions and committees (with the exception of three at-large appointments to the Historic District Commission) expire in December of even-numbered years.
To ensure a transparent and inclusive process, a Notice of Vacancies/Invitation to Apply was published in the Folsom Telegraph and the City's newsletter, shared through the City's social media channels, and posted on the City's website, as well as posted on bulletin boards at City Hall and the Folsom Public Library. In addition, communication was sent to current commissioners whose terms expired in December 2024, inviting them to apply to be considered for reappointment.
MEETING DATE: Ut412025

01/14/2025 Item No.15.
POLICY
Folsom M icinal Code Section 2.35.030 establishes,inpart, the first regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council in December of even numbered years as the uniform'termination date for all at-large appointments (except the three at-large appointments to the Historic District Commission representing historic preservation, residents of the Historip District, and a business owner within the Sutter Street subarea, which expire in December of odd- numbered years.)
ANALYSIS
Commissions and committees play an important role by providing program review and advising the City Council on a wide range of issues. Most commissions are comprised of seven members: five members appointed directly by each councilmember and two at-large members appointed collectively by the entire City Council. This structure ensures both individual representation from each councilmember and a collaborative selection of at-large members, hopefully promoting a balanced and inclusive approach to local governance.
The City Clerk's office received over 70 applications by the November 14 application deadline. These applications were forwarded to the City Councilmembers in early December for their advance review and consideration.

Folsom City Council
Staff Re rt
RECOMMENDATION / COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council review and consider the draft City Council Travel Policy.
Should the City Council have an interest in adopting a policy, staff further requests that the Council provide feedback and guidance on any proposed modifications. This input will allow staff to make any necessary adjustments and present the revised policy for formal adoption at a subsequent meeting.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Each year, the City Council approves an annual budget. During the FY 24125 budget discussions, the City Council approved an allocation of $6,600 for each Councilmembers' travel purposes for the fiscal year.
Currently, the City Council does not have a policy governing travel undertaken by Councilmembers on official City business. Thus, travel and related expenditures are evaluated on a case-by-case basis without established guidelines that would otherwise ensure uniformity.
Upon reflection, staff believes that a structured policy guiding the use of travel funds could be beneficial in creating consistent standards. Implementing such a policy would provide clarity, promote the responsible use of taxpayer funds, and ensure that travel activities support the best interests of the City of Folsom and its residents.
1 MEETING DATE: Ut412025
AGENDA SECTION: New Business
SUBJECT Consideration of Draft City Council Travel Policy and Direction to Staff
FROM: City Clerk's Department
01/14/2025 Item No.16.
Travel undertaken by Councilmembers serves several important pu{poses, including education, staying informed about current trends, and fostering collaboration. Participation in conferences, workshops, and meetings with other public agencies provides learning opportunities that are essential for effective governance. Such travel can lead to the introduction ofnew ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions gleaned from the shared experiences of other elected officials.
These experiences can result in benefits for the City of Folsom by helping to identiff opportunities for cost savings, improved service delivery, and strategic growth.
POLICY / RULE
Folsom Municipal Code section2.06.070(C) provides that the City Council may adopt rules governing its meetings, proceedings, and business.
ANALYSIS
The proposed City Council Travel Policy is designed to provide a framework that guides official travel undertaken by City Councilmembers. This policy aims to standardize the practices associated with council-related travel, establishing clear guidelines that align with the City's commitment to accountability and transparency. By formalizing these practices, the City of Folsom seeks to ensure that City Council travel funded by taxpayer dollars is conducted with the utmost fiscal responsibility and serves the City's interests effectively. This policy is essential for reinforcing public trust and demonstrating the City's dedication to ethical governance.
A core intent of the policy is the promotion of responsible stewardship of public resources.
Travel expenditures, when managed properly, can yield significant benefits such as facilitating knowledge exchange, strengthening intergovernmental relationships, and fostering the professional development of councilmembers. These activities ultimately contribute to informed decision-making and strategic planning that benefit the residents of Folsom. By encouraging the prudent use of funds, the policy supports only those travel activities that deliver tangible value and align with the City's strategic goals.
The policy also underscores the importance of structure and continuity in the administration of public funds related to travel. Establishing uniform procedures helps prevent inconsistencies and reduces the risk of misunderstandings or misuse of resources. This structure provides councilmembers and staff with a clear understanding of what constitutes an acceptable use of public funds. By creating a transparent, well-defined process, the policy aligns with best practices in public administration and promotes fairness in the allocation of City resources.
Overall, the proposed policy is a step toward fortifying trust between the City and its residents by maintaining high standards of financial oversight. By prioritizing transparency, consistency, and accountability, the City Council Travel Policy will facilitate responsible governance and enhance the effectiveness of councilmembers in their official duties. The policy reflects a commitment to ensuring that public expenditures yield a positive return, ultimately reinforcing the City's mission to serve the community's best interests.

01/14/2025 Item No.16.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The adoption of the proposed City Council Travel Policy is not anticipated to have an immediate or direct financial impact. However, the financial impacts associated with councilmember travel will be considered as part of the City's annual budget process. Each fiscal year's budget discussions will include a review and allocation of funds for travel, ensuring that expenditures align with available funding and the City's financial priorities. This approach allows for transparency and fiscal oversight, ensuring that travel costs are planned and aligned with the City's strategic objectives.

Staff Re ort
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the City Council appoint City Council Representatives to Regional Boards/Commissions.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
In addition to their responsibilities on the City Council, the Mayor and Councilmembers also represent the City of Folsom on a variety of regional commissions, ensutingthat Folsom's interests are effectively advocated at the regional level. These various commissions address important issues of regional interest, including transportation, housing, economic development, and environmental sustainability, among others. By participating in these commissions, the Folsom City Council plays an important role in shaping policies and decisions that impact not only the city but also the broader region.
Assignments to these regional bodies have been proposed based on areas of interest and/or expertise of individual Councilmembers, enabling them to bring their perspectives and particular insights to their respective roles. Additionally, the distribution of assignments seeks to equitably allocate responsibilities, including those assignments that include stipend pay, to ensure fairness and balance among Councilmembers. This approach not only promotes effective representation but also leverages the strengths of each Councilmember, further enhancing Folsom's voice in regional matters and reinforcing its commitment to equitable and impactful governance.
